NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (unaudited)

1. Organization and Nature of Business

CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust (the “Company”) was formed on March 30, 2004 under the laws of the state of Maryland. CBRE Operating Partnership, L.P. (“CBRE OP”) was formed in Delaware on March 30, 2004, with the Company as the sole general partner. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), beginning with its taxable period ended December 31, 2004. The Company was incorporated to raise capital and acquire ownership interests in high quality real estate properties, including office, retail, industrial, and multi-family residential properties, as well as other real estate-related assets.

On July 1, 2004, the Company commenced operations and issued 6,844,313 common shares of beneficial interest in connection with the initial capitalization of the Company. For each common share the Company issued, one limited partnership unit in CBRE OP was issued to the Company in exchange for the cash proceeds from the issuance of the common shares. In addition, CBRE REIT Holdings, LLC (“REIT Holdings”) an affiliate of CBRE Advisors LLC (the “Investment Advisor”), purchased 29,937 limited partnership units in CBRE OP as a limited partner. During October 2004, the Company issued an additional 123,449 common shares of beneficial interest to an unrelated third-party investor. On July 2, 2007, in conjunction with the Carolina Portfolio acquisition, the Company formed a taxable REIT subsidiary, CBRE RT Carolina TRS, Inc., (“Carolina TRS”), to hold certain real estate assets designated by management as held for sale which represent non-qualified REIT assets. On September 30, 2008, the real estate assets held by Carolina TRS were reclassified as held for investment and were transferred to CBRE OP and on March 31, 2009, the Carolina TRS was dissolved.

The registration statement relating to our initial public offering was declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 24, 2006. CNL Securities Corp., a related party, acted as the dealer manager of this offering. The registration statement covered up to $2,000,000,000 in common shares of beneficial interest, 90% of which were offered at a price of $10.00 per share, and 10% of which were offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date, as determined by the Investment Advisor, or another firm we choose for that purpose. During the period October 24, 2006 through January 29, 2009, the Company issued 60,808,967 additional common shares of beneficial interest. We terminated the initial public offering effective as of the close of business on January 29, 2009.

The registration statement relating to our follow-on public offering was declared effective by the SEC on January 30, 2009. CNL Securities Corp. is the dealer manager (the “Dealer Manager”) of this offering. The registration statement covers up to $3,000,000,000 in common shares of beneficial interest, 90% of which will be offered at a price of $10.00 per share, and 10% of which will be offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date, as determined by the Investment Advisor, or another firm we choose for that purpose. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares between the primary offering and our dividend reinvestment plan. From January 30, 2009 (effective date) through September 30, 2009, the Company received gross offering proceeds of approximately $261,681,461 from the sale of 26,213,844 common shares of beneficial interest.

The Company operates in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which its majority-owned subsidiary, CBRE OP, owns, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the properties acquired on behalf of the Company. As of September 30, 2009, the Company, as the sole general partner of CBRE OP, owns approximately 99.73% of the common partnership units therein. REIT Holdings, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, holds the remaining non-controlling interest through 246,361 limited partnership units representing approximately a 0.27%

ownership interest in the total limited partnership units. In exchange for services provided to the Company relating to its formation and future services, REIT Holdings also owns a Class B limited partnership interest (“Class B interest”). The Investment Advisor is affiliated with the Company in that the two entities have common officers and trustees, some of whom also own equity interests in the Investment Advisor and the Company. All business activities of the Company are managed by the Investment Advisor.

Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references to “CBRE REIT,” “we,” “the Company,” “our,” and “us” refer to the activities of and the assets and liabilities of the business and operations of CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust and its subsidiaries.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules applicable to Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Certain information and footnotes required for annual financial statement presentation have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required under U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our current Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the latest available audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary in all material respects to present fairly our financial position, results of our operations and cash flows as of and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been made. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through November 16, 2009, which was the date we filed this Form 10-Q with the SEC.

Principles of Consolidation

Because we are the sole general partner and majority owner of CBRE OP and have majority control over their management and major operating decisions, the accounts of CBRE OP are consolidated in our financial statements. The interests of REIT Holdings are reflected in non-controlling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. CB Richard Ellis Investors, LLC (“CBRE Investors”), an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, also owns a non-controlling interest in us through its ownership of 243,229 common shares of beneficial interest at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Accounting Standards Updates

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued its final Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168 entitled “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the

Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”) which was a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” SFAS No. 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) the single source of U.S. GAAP used by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative accounting guidance for SEC registrants. The Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 accounting topics within a consistent structure and not to create new accounting and reporting guidance. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. Following SFAS No. 168, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. The FASB will not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right; these updates will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the basis for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. In the description of Accounting Standards Updates that follows, references in “italics” relate to Codification Topics and Sub-Topics, and their descriptive titles, as appropriate.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Our determination of the appropriate accounting method with respect to our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. (“CBRE Strategic Partners Asia”), which is considered a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), is based on CBRE Strategic Partners Asia’s shortfall in the sufficiency of equity investment at risk which is characterized by its use of a subscription line of credit backed by investor capital commitments to fund its operations. We account for this VIE, of which we are not the primary beneficiary, under the equity method of accounting.

We determine if an entity is a VIE based on several factors, including whether the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. In a quantitative analysis, we incorporate various estimates, including estimated future cash flows, asset hold periods and discount rates, as well as estimates of the probabilities of various scenarios occurring. If the entity is a VIE, we then determine whether we consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary. We determine whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates in these evaluations, it could result in differing conclusions as to whether or not an entity is a VIE and whether or not we consolidate such entity.

With respect to our majority limited membership interest in the Duke/Hulfish, LLC joint venture (the “Duke joint venture”) and the Afton Ridge Joint Venture, LLC (“Afton Ridge”), we considered the Codification Topic “Consolidation” (“FASB ASC 810”) in determining that we did not have control over the financial and operating decisions of such entities due to the existence of substantive participating rights held by the minority limited members who are also the managing members of the Duke joint venture and Afton Ridge, respectively.

We carry our investments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, the Duke joint venture and Afton Ridge on the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of each such entity. We eliminate transactions with such equity method entities to the extent of our ownership in each such entity. Accordingly, our share of net income (loss) of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net income (loss). Under the equity method, impairment losses are

recognized upon evidence of other-than-temporary losses of value. We recognized impairment for our unconsolidated investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia in the amount of approximately $214,000 and $2,505,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Information

We currently operate in two geographic areas, the United States and the United Kingdom. We view our operations as three reportable segments, a Domestic Industrial segment, a Domestic Office segment and an International Office/Retail segment, which participate in the acquisition, development, ownership, and operation of high quality real estate in their respective segments.

Cash Equivalents

We consider short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, cash equivalents consisted primarily of investments in money market funds.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents those cash accounts for which the use of funds is restricted by loan covenants. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our restricted cash balance was $2,109,000 and $1,306,000, respectively, which represents amounts set aside as impounds for future property tax payments, property insurance payments and tenant improvement payments as required by our agreements with our lenders.

Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Held for Sale

In a period in which a property has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the statements of operations for current and prior periods report the results of operations of the property as discontinued operations.

At such time as a property is deemed held for sale, such property is carried at the lower of: (1) its carrying amount or (2) fair value less costs to sell. In addition, a property being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. We classify operating properties as property held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

 

   

management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset;

 

   

the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;

 

   

an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset has been initiated;

 

   

the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year;

the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and

 

   

given the actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset, it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan would be made or that the plan would be withdrawn.

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we did not have any properties held for sale.

Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities

All of our derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Calculation of a fair value of derivative instruments also requires management to use estimates. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. The changes in fair value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the corresponding amount recorded in current period earnings. We have certain interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and follow the accounting treatment discussed above. We also have certain interest rate swap derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly, changes in fair values are recognized in current earnings.

We disclose the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. We also provide more information about our liquidity by disclosing derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, we cross-reference within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments.

Investments in Real Estate

Our investment in real estate is stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Buildings and Improvements

   39 years

Site Improvements

   15 and 25 years

Tenant Improvements

   Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases

Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 57 and 52 real estate investments, respectively.

On June 29, 2009, we acquired 13201 Wilfred Lane, a single tenant warehouse distribution building located in Rogers, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis. The purchase price was $15,340,000.

On July 1, 2009, we acquired 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, a single tenant three office building campus located in Livermore, CA, a suburb in the eastern portion of the San Francisco Bay area. The purchase price was $49,000,000.

On July 31, 2009, we acquired 140 Depot Street, a single tenant warehouse distribution building located in Bellingham, MA, a suburb of Boston. The purchase price was $18,950,000.

On August 5, 2009, we acquired 12650 Ingenuity Drive, a single tenant office building located in Orlando, FL. The purchase price was $25,350,000.

On August 17, 2009, we acquired Crest Ridge Corporate Center I, a single tenant office building located in Minnetonka, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis. The purchase price was $28,418,735.

The adoption of the provisions of the new accounting standard Codification Topic “Business Combinations” (“FASB ASC 805”) could have an impact on the cost allocation of future acquisitions and requires us to expense acquisition costs for future property acquisitions. The adoption of the provisions of the new accounting standard FASB ASC 805 effects our consolidated financial statements, results of operations and cash flows from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We expensed $2,536,000 and $3,535,000 of acquisition costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

See Commitments and Contingencies Note 17 for a discussion of purchase deposits.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Our properties are located throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory, and social factors affecting the communities in which the tenants operate. Our credit risk relates primarily to cash, restricted cash, and interest rate cap agreements. Cash accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 through December 31, 2009.

We have not experienced any losses to date on our invested cash and restricted cash. The interest rate cap and swap agreements create credit risk. Credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of their contracts. Our risk management policies define parameters of acceptable market risk and limit exposure to credit risk. Credit exposure resulting from derivative financial instruments is

represented by their fair value amounts, increased by an estimate of potential adverse position exposure arising from changes over time in interest rates, maturities, and other relevant factors. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our counterparties.

Non-Controlling Interest

We owned a 99.73%, a 99.62% and a 99.56% operating partnership unit interest in CBRE OP as of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, respectively. The remaining 0.27%, 0.38 and 0.44% operating partnership unit interest as of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, September 30, 2008, respectively, was owned by REIT Holdings in the form of 246,361 non-controlling operating partnership units which were exchangeable on a one for one basis for common shares of CBRE REIT, with an estimated aggregate redemption value of $2,464,000.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Management believes no impairment in the net carrying values of the consolidated investments in real estate has occurred as of September 30, 2009.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate

We apply the acquisition method to all acquired real estate investments. The purchase consideration of the real estate is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, value of tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease), site improvements, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.

In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the

Table of Contents

contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases; and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases and any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the initial terms of the prospective leases.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease value and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value for the real estate acquired as such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. Should future acquisitions of properties result in allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, an amount would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written-off.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and swap fair value adjustments for qualifying hedges.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with our taxable period ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains) adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to our shareholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes if we distribute 100% of our taxable income for each year to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. We believe that we have met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008. Management intends to continue to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification.

Revenue Recognition

All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. In connection with various leases, we have received irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling $6,785,000 as security for such leases at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis, when we are the primary obligor with respect to incurring expenses and with respect to having the credit risk.

Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. Management’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowances are increased or decreased through the provision for bad debts. The allowance for uncollectible rent receivable was $209,000 and $180,000 as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we wrote off $39,000 and $231,000 of the uncollectible rent receivables for the tenant Phoenix Recycling at the Community Cash Complex1 property and for the bankrupt tenant, Aleris, at Kings Mountain I, respectively. In addition, the unamortized tangible and intangible asset balances attributable to Aleris totaling $1,071,000 were also written off during the nine month period, ended September 30, 2009, of which $546,000, $130,000, and $395,000 are related to above-market leases, tenant improvements, and in place lease value, respectively.

Offering Costs

Offering costs totaling $27,727,000 and $18,141,000 were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. Offering costs incurred through September 30, 2009 totaled $79,882,000. Of the total amount, $69,532,000 was incurred to CNL Securities Corp., as Dealer Manager; $3,969,000 was incurred to CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc., an affiliate of the Investment Advisor; $292,000 was incurred to the Investment Advisor for reimbursable marketing costs and $6,089,000 was incurred to other service providers. Each party will be paid the amount incurred from proceeds of the public offering. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the accrued offering costs payable to related parties included in our consolidated balance sheets were $1,873,000 and $4,390,000, respectively. Offering costs payable to unrelated parties of $93,000 and $132,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Deferred Financing Costs and Discounts on Notes Payable

Direct costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are amortized over the respective term of the loan on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.

Discounts on notes payable are amortized to interest expense based on the effective interest method.

Translation of Non-U.S. Currency Amounts

The financial statements and transactions of our United Kingdom real estate operation is recorded in its functional currency, namely the Great Britain Pound (“GBP”) and is then translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”).

Assets and liabilities of this operation are denominated in the functional currency and are then translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss),” a component of Shareholders’ Equity.

The carrying value of our United Kingdom assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the GBP. The exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was $1.5983 and $1.4593 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Class B Interest – Related Party

Effective July 1, 2004, REIT Holdings, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, was granted a Class B interest in CBRE OP. The Class B interest is an equity instrument issued to non-employees in exchange for services. As modified by the second amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of CBRE OP entered into on January 30, 2009 (the “Second Amended Partnership Agreement”), the holder is entitled to receive distributions made by CBRE OP in an amount equal to 15% of all net sales proceeds on dispositions of properties or other assets (including by liquidation, merger or otherwise) after the other partners including us, have received in the aggregate, cumulative distributions from property income, sales proceeds or other services equal to (i) the total capital contributions made to CBRE OP and (ii) a 7% annual, uncompounded return on such capital contributions. The terms of the termination provision relating to the Class B interest requires its forfeiture in the event the Advisor unilaterally terminates the agreement between the Company, CBRE OP and the Investment Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”). As a result future changes in the fair value of the Class B interest will be deferred from recognition in the financial statements until a listing of the common shares on a national securities exchange or a change in control transaction takes place.

Earnings Per Share Attributable to CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust Shareholders

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted net income (loss) further assumes the dilutive effect of stock options, stock warrants and contingently issuable shares, if any. We have recorded a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the effect of stock options, stock warrants and contingently issuable shares, if any, would be anti–dilutive, and accordingly, if there were any of these instruments outstanding, they would be excluded from the earnings per share computation. In addition, no stock options, stock warrants or contingently issuable shares have ever been issued. As a result, there is no difference in basic and diluted shares.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We elected to apply the fair value option for one of our eligible mortgage notes payable that was newly issued debt during the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The measurement of the elected mortgage note payable at its fair value and its impact on the statement of operations is described in Notes 15 and 16.

We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow.

The financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements are the two interest rate swaps, one interest rate cap, and one mortgage note payable that is economically hedged by one of the interest rate swaps.

The remaining financial assets and liabilities which are only disclosed at fair value are comprised of all other notes payable, the unsecured line of credit and other debt instruments.

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (unaudited)

 

We determined the fair value of our secured notes payable and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

We adopted the fair value measurement criteria described herein for our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the fair value measurement criteria to our non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities typically recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include:

 

   

Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition or business combination;

 

   

Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment assessment and

 

   

Asset retirement obligations initially measured under the Codification Topic “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (“FASB ASC 410”).

Pronouncement Affecting the Presentation of Non-controlling (Minority) Interests in the Operating Partnership

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB ASC 810. The new accounting provisions require that amounts formerly reported as minority interests in our consolidated financial statements be reported as non-controlling interests. In connection with the issuance of this adoption, certain revisions were also made to the. Codification Topic “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A”). These revisions clarify that non-controlling interests with redemption provisions outside of the control of the issuer and non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer are subject to evaluation to determine the appropriate balance sheet classification and measurement of such instruments.

With respect to the operating partnership units, the non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer be further evaluated under the Codification Topic “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“FASB ASC 815-40”) to determine whether permanent equity or temporary equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the operating partnership units contain such a provision, the Company evaluated this guidance and determined that the operating partnership units do not meet requirements to qualify for equity presentation. As a result, the operating partnership units are presented in the temporary equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and reported at the higher of their proportionate share of the net assets of CBRE OP or fair value, with period to period changes in value reported as an adjustment to shareholder’s equity. Under the terms of the Second Amended Partnership Agreement the fair value of the operating partnership units is determined as an amount equal to the redemption value as defined in the Second Amended Partnership Agreement. This balance sheet measurement represents a change to previously reported balance sheet amounts for the operating partnership units since under previous accounting guidance the operating partnership units were reported based on periodic adjustments for their proportionate share of earnings allocations from CBRE OP.

In accordance with the guidance, the presentation and measurement requirements of the new accounting provisions were presented retrospectively on our consolidated balance sheets. The effect of the adoptions is an increase in non-controlling interest of $1,139,000 and a decrease in total shareholder’s equity by the same amount on our consolidated balance sheet for the periods presented below. The $1,139,000 represents the adjustment required to record the operating partnership units at fair value for the period. The adoption of the new accounting provisions and the related revisions to existing accounting provisions had no material impact on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

Pronouncement Affecting Operating Property Acquisitions

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 805 which requires an acquiring entity to recognize acquired assets and assumed liabilities in a transaction at fair value as of the acquisition date and changes the accounting treatment for certain items, including acquisition costs, which is required to be expensed as incurred. The provision of “Business Combinations” is required to be applied on a prospective basis.

The adoption of the provisions of the FASB ASC 805 could have an impact on the cost allocation of future acquisitions and requires us to expense acquisition costs for future property acquisitions. The adoption of the provisions of the new accounting standard FASB ASC 805 had an effect on our consolidated financial statements, results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We expensed $2,536,000 and $3,535,000 of acquisition costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, an update was made to the accounting provisions for the Codification Sub-Topic “Variable Interest Entities” (“FASB ASC 810-10-15”). Among other things, the update replaces the calculation for determining which entities, if any, have a controlling financial interest in a VIE from a quantitative based risks and rewards calculation, to a qualitative approach that focuses on identifying which entities have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. The update also requires ongoing assessments as to whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE (previously, reconsideration was only required upon the occurrence of specific events), modifies the presentation of consolidated VIE assets and liabilities, and requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in VIEs. This update will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this update will have, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations when it becomes effective in 2010.

Other Accounting Standards Updates not effective until after September 30, 2009, are not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. Acquisition of Real Estate

The fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, if any, based in each case on their respective fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate. Effective January 1, 2009, we began expensing deal costs related to our consolidated acquisitions.

Acquisition related expenses of $2,529,000 and $2,870,000 associated with the acquisition of consolidated real estate were expensed as incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The purchase price allocation to the assets and liabilities acquired are preliminary and are subject to revision based on the finalization of appraisals of the assets and liabilities acquired.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the above noted acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and designated as real estate held for investment (in thousands):

financial policies of such entities (including certain entities where we have less than 20% ownership) are accounted for using the equity method. We eliminate transactions with such equity method entities to the extent of our ownership in such entities. Accordingly, our share of the earnings or losses of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net loss. Under the equity method, impairment losses are recognized upon evidence of other-than-temporary losses of value.

Duke Joint Venture

On May 5, 2008, we entered into a contribution agreement with Duke Realty Limited Partnership (“Duke”), a subsidiary of Duke Realty Corporation (NYSE: DRE), to form the Duke joint venture to acquire $248,900,500 in industrial real property assets (the “Industrial Portfolio”). The Industrial Portfolio consists of six bulk

industrial built-to-suit, fully leased properties. On September 12, 2008, we entered into a first amendment to the contribution agreement to acquire a fully leased office building for $37,111,000 increasing and revising the pricing on the original six properties for a total purchase commitment to $282,400,000. On March 30, 2009, the Duke joint venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire two fully leased office buildings for an aggregate $31,750,000 and concurrently entered into a contribution agreement to acquire a fully leased warehouse / industrial building for $9,300,000, increasing the total purchase commitment to $323,450,000 as of March 30, 2009. We own an 80% interest and Duke owns a 20% interest in the Duke joint venture.

On June 12, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 10, 2008, the Duke joint venture acquired fee interests in seven properties pursuant to the contribution agreement. All of the properties acquired are new built-to-suit, 100% leased, single-tenant buildings that had limited or no operating history prior to acquisition. The Duke joint venture obtained financing from 40/86 Mortgage Capital, Inc. for each of the seven properties acquired in 2008. The financings, totaling $150,000,000, carry an interest rate of 5.58%, a term of five years and are cross-collateralized among the properties. The seven buildings were completed in 2007 and 2008.

On May 13, 2009, the Duke joint venture acquired each of (i) 22535 Colonial Pkwy., located at 22535 Colonial Pkwy., Katy, TX, a suburb of Houston, (ii) Celebration Office Center III, located at 1390 Celebration Blvd., Celebration, FL, a suburb of Orlando, and (iii) Fairfield Distribution Ctr. IX located 4543-4561 Oak Fair Blvd., Tampa FL. The Duke joint venture acquired 22535 Colonial Pkwy. for approximately $14,700,000, Celebration Office Center III for approximately $17,050,000 and Fairfield Distribution Ctr. IX for approximately $9,300,000, exclusive of customary closing costs. We own an 80% interest in the Duke joint venture and we made cash contributions totaling approximately $32,840,000 to the Duke joint venture in connection with these acquisitions, using the net proceeds from our current public offering.

On June 18, 2009, the Duke joint venture entered into a contribution agreement with Duke to acquire, subject to customary closing conditions, Goodyear Crossing Ind. Park II, located at 16920 W. Commerce Drive, Goodyear, AZ, a suburb of Phoenix. The Duke joint venture will acquire Goodyear Crossing Ind. Park II for approximately $45,260,000, exclusive of transaction costs further increasing the total purchase commitment to $368,710,000. We own an 80% interest in the Duke joint venture and, at closing, we will make a cash contribution of approximately $36,200,000 to the Duke joint venture in connection with the acquisition, which we expect to fund using the net proceeds from our offering. Goodyear Crossing Ind. Park II is a warehouse /distribution building that was completed in 2008, and is currently being expanded to a total of 820,384 square feet. The property is 100% leased to Amazon.com.axdc, Inc., with a guarantee from its parent Amazon.com. The lease expires ten years after completion of the expansion, with completion projected for October 2009 resulting in a projected expiration date of October 2019. While we anticipate this acquisition will close during the fourth quarter of 2009, the agreement is subject to a number of contingencies, including, but not limited to, completion of the expansion and acceptance by the tenant of the space, and there can be no assurance that the acquisition will occur. We have provided deposits of $1,646,750 in connection with the execution of the agreement that is refundable in the event that certain closing conditions are not met.

As of September 30, 2009, the Duke joint venture has purchased approximately $323,450,000 of assets, exclusive of acquisition fees and closing costs, and holds interests in 10 properties, three located in Florida, two located in Indiana, two located in Texas and one in each of Arizona, Ohio and Tennessee.

Afton Ridge

On September 18, 2008, we acquired a 90% ownership interest in Afton Ridge, the owner of Afton Ridge Shopping Center, from unrelated third parties. CK Afton Ridge Shopping Center, LLC, a subsidiary of Childress Klein Properties, Inc. (“CK Afton Ridge”), retained a 10% ownership interest in Afton Ridge and continues to manage Afton Ridge Shopping Center. CK Afton Ridge acts as the managing member of Afton Ridge and is entitled to receive fees, including management, construction management and property management fees. We have joint approval rights over all major policy decisions.

Afton Ridge Shopping Center is located at the intersection of I-85 and Kannapolis Parkway, in Kannapolis, NC. We acquired our ownership interest in Afton Ridge for approximately $45,000,000, exclusive of customary closing costs, which was funded using net proceeds from our initial public offering. Upon closing, we paid our Investment Advisor an acquisition fee of approximately $450,000. This acquisition fee is not included in the $45,000,000 total acquisition cost of Afton Ridge, but is included as additional cost basis at our wholly-owned investment subsidiary.

The purchase agreement with the seller contained a two year master lease agreement whereby rental revenues were guaranteed by the seller on the 9% unoccupied space at the date of the acquisition up to a maximum of $1,102,000. In addition, leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances were to be reimbursed under the purchase agreement up to $934,000 over the same two year period for leasing activities incurred by Afton Ridge to lease this unoccupied space. As of September 30, 2009, $500,000 in rental revenue guarantee payments and $448,000 in leasing commission and tenant reimbursement payments have been received by Afton Ridge and treated as purchase price adjustments in the period when the contingency was resolved on the Afton Ridge standalone financial statements. Our pro rata share of such purchase price adjustments have been treated as a reduction of our investment in Afton Ridge.

Afton Ridge Shopping Center is a 470,288 square foot regional shopping center, completed in 2006, in which Afton Ridge owns 296,388 rentable square feet that is currently 95% occupied. One of the shopping center’s anchors, a 173,900 square foot SuperTarget, is not owned by us. Additional anchor tenants in Afton Ridge Shopping Center are Best Buy, Marshalls, PetSmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Stein Mart and Ashley Furniture. Afton Ridge Shopping Center is the retail component of a 260 acre master planned mixed-use development.

On October 15, 2008, Afton Ridge obtained a $25,500,000 loan from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, secured by the Afton Ridge Shopping Center originally acquired on September 18, 2008. The loan is for a term of five years, plus a 12 month extension option, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.70%. Interest payments only are due monthly for the term of the loan with principal due at maturity.

We carry our investment in Afton Ridge on the equity method of accounting because it is an entity under common control with CK Afton Ridge. Those investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of such entities are accounted for using the equity method. We eliminate transactions with such equity method subsidiaries to the extent of our ownership in such entities.

Loan Payable

On August 8, 2008, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), which amended the terms of our prior credit agreement with Bank of America, to provide us with a new $45,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and to replace our prior Bank of America term loan and revolving credit facility which matured in August 2008. The new Revolving Credit Facility was fully drawn upon at closing, with such proceeds utilized to pay down the full $45,000,000 amount outstanding under our prior Bank of America term loan (as of August 8, 2008, no amount was outstanding under our prior $10,000,000 Bank of America revolving credit facility). The new Revolving Credit Facility matures in August 2010 and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.75%, based upon our leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement (at our current leverage ratio, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%). An upfront fee of $292,500 was paid to Bank of America, and a fee equal to the actual daily amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed the total outstanding (both as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement) times 0.20% per annum if the total outstanding are equal to or more than 50% of the aggregate commitments, or 0.25% per annum otherwise, is accrued on unfunded balances under the Revolving Credit Facility. The loan contains various financial covenants and restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.75 to 1.00, as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Our organizational documents contain a limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur, so that unless our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, our aggregate borrowing may not exceed 300% of our net assets unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent trustees and is disclosed to shareholders in our next quarterly report.

9. Segment Disclosure

Our reportable segments consist of three types of commercial real estate properties, namely, Domestic Industrial Properties, Domestic Office Properties and International Office/Retail Properties. During the fourth quarter of 2008, management reevaluated the structure of its business and devised a new reportable segment structure. All periods presented have been revised to report our segment results under our new reportable segment structure. Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of our segments based on net operating income. We also have certain general and administrative level activities including legal, accounting, tax preparation and shareholder servicing costs that are not considered separate operating segments. Our reportable segments are on the same basis of accounting as described in Note 2.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on net operating income, defined as: rental income and tenant reimbursements less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance, property management fees, property level general and administrative expenses and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and our general and administrative expenses. The following table compares the net operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Investment Management Fee to Related Party

Prior to October 24, 2006, the Investment Advisor received an annual fee equal to 0.75% of the book value of the total assets, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, based on the assets of CBRE OP. The investment management fee was calculated monthly based on the average of total assets, as defined, during such period. On October 24, 2006, the Board of Trustees, including our independent trustees, approved and the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of CBRE OP (the “Amended Partnership Agreement”) and the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Amended Partnership Agreement, the “Amended Agreements”).

On January 30, 2009, we entered into that certain second amended and restated advisory agreement (the “Second Amended Advisory Agreement”) with CBRE OP and the Investment Advisor. The Second Amended Advisory Agreement modified, among other things, the investment management fee to consist of (a) a monthly fee equal to one twelfth of 0.5% of the aggregate costs (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investment in our portfolio and (b) a monthly fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real estate investments in our portfolio.

compensation. Our key employees, directors, trustees, officers, advisors, consultants or other personnel and our subsidiaries or other persons expected to provide significant services or our subsidiaries, including employees of the Investment Advisor, would be eligible to be granted share options, restricted shares, phantom shares, distribution equivalent rights and other share-based awards under the 2004 equity incentive plan. No awards of any kind have been made under this plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Performance Bonus Plan

We have adopted a 2004 performance bonus plan. Annual bonuses under our 2004 performance bonus plan are awarded by our Compensation Committee to selected key employees, including employees of the Investment Advisor, based on corporate factors or individual factors (or a combination of both). Subject to the provisions of the 2004 performance bonus plan, the Compensation Committee will (i) determine and designate those key employees to whom bonuses are to be granted; (ii) determine, consistently with the 2004 performance bonus plan, the amount of the bonus to be granted to any key employee for any performance period; and (iii) determine, consistently with the 2004 performance bonus plan, the terms and conditions of each bonus. Bonuses may be so awarded by the Compensation Committee prior to the commencement of any performance period, during or after any performance period. No bonus shall exceed 200% of the key employee’s aggregate salary for the year. The Compensation Committee may provide for partial bonus payments at target and other levels. Corporate performance hurdles for bonuses may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee in its discretion to reflect (i) dilution from corporate acquisitions and share offerings, and (ii) changes in applicable accounting rules and standards. The Compensation Committee may determine that bonuses shall be paid in cash or shares or other equity-based grants, or a combination thereof. The Compensation Committee may also provide that any such share grants be made under our 2004 equity incentive plan or any other equity-based plan or program we may establish. The Compensation Committee may provide for programs under which the payment of bonuses may be deferred at the election of the employee. No bonuses were awarded and no bonus related expenses were incurred by us during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

12. Shareholders’ Equity

Under our declaration of trust, we have the authority to issue a total of 1,000,000,000 shares of beneficial interest. Of the total shares authorized, 990,000,000 shares are designated as common shares with a par value of $0.01 per share and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred shares.

We reserve the right to reallocate the shares between the primary offering and our dividend reinvestment plan. From January 30, 2009 (effective date) through September 30, 2009, we received gross offering proceeds of approximately $261,681,461 from the sale of 26,213,844 shares. As of September 30, 2009, we had issued 87,022,811 common shares in our public offerings.

13. Distributions

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to shareholders, will differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal income tax purposes including the treatment of loss on extinguishment of debt, revenue recognition, compensation expense and in the basis of depreciable assets and estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.

The following table reconciles the distributions declared per common share to the distributions paid per common share during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

We marked our non-qualifying economic hedge interest rate swap instruments to their estimated fair value of ($1,462,000) on the consolidated balance sheet resulting in a loss on interest rate swaps of $338,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and a gain of $19,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our $22,336,000 notional amount interest rate swap has been designated as a qualifying cash flow hedge of the LIBOR base payments due under our Maskew Retail Park variable rate note payable from its inception on September 24, 2009. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap value of ($322,000) as of September 30, 2009 has resulted in a swap fair value adjustment being recorded to other comprehensive loss totaling $322,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

There were no comparable interest rate swaps held during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Further disclosures regarding our derivative financial instruments are included in Note 15 of these consolidated financial statements.

15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We apply the three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical financial instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. We have classified the Albion Mills Retail Park notes payable as Level 3 as of September 30, 2009 due to the lack of current market activity and our reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of the mortgage note payable.

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we held certain items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included cash equivalents, an interest rate cap, and interest rate swap derivative contracts. Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments, all of which have maturities of 90 days or less, including money market funds and U.S. Government obligations. Derivative instruments are related to our economic hedging activities with respect to interest rates.

The fair values of the interest rate cap and swap derivative agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rate fell above the strike rate of the interest rate cap agreement, and by discounting the future expected cash payments and receipts on the pay and receive legs of the interest rate swap agreements that swap the estimated variable rate mortgage note payment stream for a fixed rate receive payment stream over the period of the loan. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate cap agreement and on the interest rate swap agreements are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest

rate curves and volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements (where appropriate). Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believe we have obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts we hold.

The following items are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

16. Fair Value Option—Note Payable

During the fourth quarter of 2008 we elected to apply the fair value option on a note payable which bears interest at a variable rate and is currently subject to an economic hedge by an interest rate swap with similar terms and the same notional amount. We have elected to apply the fair value option on the Albion Mills Retail Park variable rate note payable to match the fair value treatment of interest rate swap derivative on the same note payable thereby achieving a reduction in the artificial volatility in net income or loss that occurs when related financial assets and liabilities are measured and reported on a different basis in the consolidated financial statements.

We applied the fair value option for the Albion Mills Retail Park note payable at each quarterly reporting period. Included in loss on notes payable at fair value in the statement of operations is ($109,000) and ($802,000) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. In addition, there were $820,000 and $59,000 translation losses included in Other Comprehensive Loss at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

We have agreed to a capital commitment of up to $20,000,000 in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, which extends to January 31, 2010. Through September 30, 2009, we have funded $7,912,000 of our capital commitment. CBRE Investors, our sponsor, formed CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, to purchase, reposition, develop, hold for investment and sell institutional quality real estate and related assets in targeted markets in China, Japan, India, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and other Asia Pacific markets. If we and all other currently committed capital investors had funded our entire commitments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia as of September 30, 2009, we would have owned an ownership interest of approximately 5.07% in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. A majority of our trustees (including a majority of our independent trustees) not otherwise interested in this transaction approved the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable. CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is managed by CB Richard Ellis Investors SP Asia II, LLC, a subsidiary of CBRE Investors.

On June 18, 2009, the Duke joint venture entered into a contribution agreement with Duke to acquire, subject to customary closing conditions, Goodyear Crossing Ind. Park II, located at 16920 W. Commerce Drive, Goodyear, AZ, a suburb of Phoenix. The Duke joint venture will acquire Goodyear Crossing Ind. Park II for approximately $45,260,000, exclusive of transaction costs. We own an 80% interest in the Duke joint venture and, at closing, we will make a cash contribution of approximately $36,200,000 to the Duke joint venture in connection with the acquisition, which we expect to fund using the net proceeds from our public offering. Goodyear Crossing Ind. Park II is a warehouse/distribution building that was completed in 2008, and is currently being expanded to a total of 820,384 square feet. The property is 100% leased to Amazon.com.azdc, Inc., with a guarantee from its parent Amazon.com. The lease expires ten years after completion of the expansion in October 2009, resulting in a projected expiration date of October 2019. While we anticipate this acquisition will close during the fourth quarter of 2009, the agreement is subject to a number of contingencies, including, but not limited to, acceptance by the tenant of the space, and there can be no assurance that the acquisition will occur. As of September 30, 2009, we have provided deposits of $1,647,000 in connection with the execution of the agreement that is refundable in the event that certain closing conditions are not met.

Litigation – From time to time, we and our properties may be subject to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Currently, neither the Company nor any of the Company’s properties are subject to, or threatened with, any legal proceedings for which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition.

Environmental Matters – We are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

19. Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). It is our current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level U.S. federal income tax on net income we distribute currently to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any.

We have made taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) elections for all of our held for sale property subsidiaries. The elections, effective for the tax year beginning January 1, 2007 and future years, were made pursuant to section 856(I) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our TRS is subject to corporate level income taxes which are recorded in our consolidated financial statements. On March 31, 2009, the Carolina TRS was dissolved.

The following table summarizes the provision for income taxes of the TRS for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (unaudited)

 

determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred liabilities of the TRS relate primarily to differences in the book and tax depreciation method of property for U.S. Federal and state income tax purpose.

In addition, we have incurred income and other taxes (franchise, local and state government and international) related to our continuing operations in the amount of $44,000 and $30,000, $131,000 and $180,000 for California, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, and United Kingdom impacting our operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The United Kingdom taxes real property operating results at a statutory rate of 22%. The United Kingdom taxable loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted in a deferred tax asset of approximately $569,000 for net operating carry forwards. We have provided for a full valuation allowance of ($569,000) on this deferred tax asset because it is not likely that future operating profits in the United Kingdom would be sufficient to absorb the net operating losses.

20. Subsequent Events

From October 1, 2009 through November 11, 2009, we received gross proceeds from our follow-on public offering of $60,828,327 from the sale of 6,110,491 common shares.

On October 15, 2009, the Duke joint venture acquired Northpoint III, located at 3300 Exchange Place, Lake Mary, FL, a suburb of Orlando, for approximately $18,240,000, exclusive of customary closing costs and acquisition fees which are both expensed as incurred. We own an 80% interest in the Duke joint venture, and we made cash contributions totaling approximately $14,406,000 to the Duke joint venture in connection with the acquisition, using the net proceeds from our current public offering. Northpoint III is a 108,499 square foot four-story office building that was completed in 2001. Northpoint III is 100% leased to Florida Power Corporation d/b/a Progress Energy Florida, Inc., a major electric utility in Florida. Upon closing, we paid the Investment Advisor a $218,880 acquisition fee.

Overview

We are a Maryland REIT that invests in real estate properties, focusing on office, retail, industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and multi-family residential properties, as well as other real estate-related assets. We may also utilize our expertise and resources to capitalize on unique opportunities that may exist elsewhere in the marketplace, in which we might also acquire interests in mortgages or other investments where we could seek to acquire the underlying property. We will not invest more than 20% of our total assets in any single investment. We intend to invest primarily in properties located in geographically-diverse major metropolitan areas in the United States. In addition, we currently intend to invest up to 30% of our total assets in properties outside of the United States. Our international investments may be in markets in which CBRE Investors has existing operations or previous investment experience, or may be in partnership with other entities that have significant local-market expertise. We expect that our international investments will focus on properties typically located in significant business districts and suburban markets.

As of September 30, 2009, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 57 office, retail, and industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) properties located in ten states (California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom, encompassing approximately 7,805,000 rentable square feet, as well as one undeveloped land parcel in Georgia. In addition, we have ownership interests in three unconsolidated entities that, as of September 30, 2009, owned interests in 21 properties. Excluding those properties owned through our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, we owned on an unconsolidated basis, eleven industrial, office and retail properties located in seven states (Arizona, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) encompassing approximately 5,976,000 rentable square feet.

We commenced operations in July 2004, following an initial private placement of our common shares of beneficial interest. We raised aggregate net proceeds (after commissions and expenses) of approximately $55,500,000 from July 2004 to October 2004 in private placements of our common shares. On October 24, 2006, we commenced an initial public offering of up to $2,000,000,000 in our common shares. In connection with that

offering, as of December 31, 2008, we had accepted subscriptions from 12,705 investors, issued 57,976,244 common shares and received $579,211,280 in gross proceeds. As of December 31, 2008, 64,490,068 common shares were issued and outstanding.

Our initial public offering was terminated effective as of the close of business on January 29, 2009. As of the close of business on January 29, 2009, we had sold a total of 60,808,967 common shares in the initial public offering, including 1,487,943 common shares which were issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received $607,345,702 in gross proceeds. We withdrew from registration a total of 140,243,665 common shares that were registered but not sold in connection with the initial public offering.

The registration statement relating to our follow-on public offering was declared effective by the SEC on January 30, 2009. CNL Securities Corp. is the dealer manager of our offering. The registration statement covers up to $3,000,000,000 in common shares of beneficial interest, 90% of which will be offered at a price of $10.00 per share, and 10% of which will be offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date, as determined by the Investment Advisor, or another firm we choose for that purpose. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares between the primary offering and our dividend reinvestment plan. From January 30, 2009 (effective date) through September 30, 2009, we received gross offering proceeds of approximately $261,681,461 from the sale of 26,213,844 shares.

We are externally managed by the Investment Advisor and all of our real estate investments are held directly by, or indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries of CBRE OP. Generally, we contribute the proceeds we receive from the issuance of common shares for cash to CBRE OP and CBRE OP, in turn, issues units of limited partnership to us, which entitle us to receive our share of CBRE OP’s earnings or losses and net cash flow. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to pay our shareholders quarterly cash dividends. We are structured in a manner that allows CBRE OP to issue limited partnership interests from time to time in exchange for real estate properties. By structuring our acquisitions in this manner, the contributors of real estate to CBRE OP are generally able to defer gain recognition for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of income that is distributed to shareholders if at least 90% of the Company’s REIT taxable income is distributed to our shareholders.

Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value through: (1) maintaining an experienced management team of investment professionals; (2) investing in properties in certain markets where property fundamentals will support stable income returns and where capital appreciation is expected to be above average; (3) acquiring properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is expected positive rent growth; and (4) repositioning properties to increase their value in the market place. Operating results at our individual properties are impacted by the supply and demand for office, retail and industrial space, trends of the national regional economies, the financial health of current and prospective tenants and their customers, capital and credit market trends, construction costs, and interest rate movements. Individual operating property performance is monitored and calculated using certain non-GAAP financial measures such as an analysis of net operating income. For investments outside of the United States, in addition to monitoring local property market fundamentals and capital and credit market trends, we evaluate currency hedging strategies, taxes, the stability of the local government and economy and the experience of our management team in the region.

Since the second half of 2007, U.S. economic activity has progressively weakened due initially to stresses in the residential housing and financial sectors along with sharply rising energy costs. The slowing economic activity worsened into a recession affecting virtually all segments of the economy during 2008 as both consumer and business spending declined. The economic and capital market stresses during 2008 led to a challenging global financial environment that included illiquid credit markets, pervasive loss of investor confidence and significant devaluation of certain financial assets. These conditions also caused increasingly negative job growth

throughout 2008, and a deepening economic contraction in the second half of 2008 and into 2009. The currently-challenging economic environment has resulted in declining demand for office, industrial and retail space, increasing tenant bankruptcies, lower average occupancy rates and effective rents. Although the current environment has not had a material impact on our portfolio, it may in the future impact our net income, funds from operations and cash as well as the value of our real estate.

Additionally, most financial industry participants, including commercial real estate owners, operators, investors and lenders continue to find it challenging to obtain cost-effective debt capital to finance new investment activity or to refinance maturing debt. If current market conditions persist, debt financing available to us, even with our modest leverage, may have less favorable terms than we would have received in the past, in which case, we may elect to fund acquisitions without, or with minimal, debt. Highly-levered real estate investors, in particular, are now facing significantly-reduced, or even eliminated, availability of funding sources, or at significantly-increased cost. As such, under current market conditions and with our modest levels of leverage, we expect to benefit from improved access to attractive investment opportunities and reduced competition to acquire real estate assets.

We believe that the capital and credit markets have yet to stabilize. There remains a great deal of uncertainty regarding whether conditions will continue to worsen, the duration of the economic downturn, and the full short- and long-term impact of these events on the global and U.S. economies and individual businesses. Moreover, it is difficult to predict when economic conditions will improve. We continue to actively monitor economic events, capital and credit markets, and the financial stability of our tenants to minimize the impact of these conditions on our business.

The table below provides information relating to our properties, excluding those owned through our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, as of September 30, 2009. We purchased all of these properties from unaffiliated third parties. These properties are subject to competition from similar properties within their market areas and their economic performance could be affected by changes in local economic conditions. In evaluating these properties for acquisition, we considered a variety of factors including location, functionality and design, price per square foot, the credit worthiness of tenants, length of lease terms, market fundamentals and the in-place rental rates compared to market rates.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management believes our most critical accounting policies are accounting for lease revenues (including straight-line rent), regular evaluation of whether the value of a real estate asset has been impaired, real estate purchase price allocations and accounting for our derivatives and hedging activities, if any. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical data and current market data, and analyzes this information in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments in the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Management believes no impairment in the net carrying values of the consolidated investments in real estate has occurred as of September 30, 2009. We have recognized an impairment for our unconsolidated investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia in the amount of approximately $3,569,000 as of September 30, 2009.

Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables

Our revenues, which are composed largely of rental income, include rents reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. If our leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, we will be required to straight-line the recognition of revenue, which will result in the recording of a receivable for rent not yet due under the lease terms. Accordingly, our management must determine, in its judgment, to what extent the unbilled rent receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectible. We review unbilled rent receivable on a quarterly basis and take into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Should the ability to collect unbilled rent with respect to any given tenant be in doubt, we would be required to record an increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts or record a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable, which would have an adverse effect on our net income for the year in which the reserve is increased or the direct write-off is recorded and would decrease our total assets and shareholders’ equity.

Investments in Real Estate

We record investments in real estate at cost and we capitalize improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. We expense costs of repairs and maintenance as incurred. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of our real estate assets, which we expect to be approximately 39 years for buildings and improvements, three to five years for equipment and fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because, if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting

 

54


Table of Contents

in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis throughout the expected useful lives of the related assets. Future economic and other events could negatively impact future evaluations, and future impairment charges may become necessary.

We have adopted accounting provisions which establish a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets including discontinued operations and requires that the operations related to properties that have been sold or that we intend to sell be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and properties we intend to sell be designated as “held for sale” on our balance sheet.

When circumstances such as adverse market conditions indicate a possible impairment of the value of a property, we review the recoverability of the property’s carrying value. The review of recoverability is based on our estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. Our forecast of these cash flows considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. These factors contain subjectivity and thus are not able to be precisely estimated. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate.

Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation

We allocate the purchase price to tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and tenant improvements) based on the estimated fair values of those tangible assets, assuming the building was vacant. Estimates of fair value for land are based on factors such as comparisons to other properties sold in the same geographic area, adjusted for unique characteristics. Estimates of fair values of buildings and tenant improvements are based on present values determined based upon the application of hypothetical leases with market rates and terms.

We record above-market and below-market, in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. We amortize any capitalized above-market lease values as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. We amortize any capitalized below-market lease values as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed-rate renewal periods in the respective leases.

We measure the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each

 

55


Table of Contents

tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.

We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases, which we primarily expect to range from 5 to fifteen years. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the remaining term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event may the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense.

These assessments have a direct impact on net income and revenues. If we assign more fair value to the in-place leases versus buildings and tenant improvements, assigned costs would generally be depreciated over a shorter period, resulting in more depreciation expenses and lower net income on an annual basis. Likewise, if we estimate that more of our leases in-place at acquisition are on terms believed to be above the current market rates for similar properties, the calculated present value of the amount above-market would be amortized monthly as a direct reduction to rental revenues and ultimately reduce the amount of net income.

Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Held for Sale

In a period in which a property has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the statements of operations for current and prior periods report the results of operations of the property as discontinued operations.

At such time as a property is deemed held for sale, such property is carried at the lower of: (1) its carrying amount or (2) fair value less costs to sell. In addition, a property being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. We classify operating properties as property held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

 

   

management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset;

 

   

the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;

 

   

an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset has been initiated;

 

   

the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year;

 

   

the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and

 

   

given the actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset, it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan would be made or that the plan would be withdrawn.

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we did not have any properties held for sale.

Accounting Standards Updates

In June 2009, the FASB issued the Codification. SFAS No. 168 made the Codification the single source of U.S. GAAP used by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative accounting guidance for SEC registrants. The Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 accounting topics

 

56


Table of Contents

within a consistent structure and not to create new accounting and reporting guidance. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. Following SFAS No. 168, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. The FASB will not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right; these updates will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the basis for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. In the description of Accounting Standards Updates that follows, references in “italics” relate to Codification Topics and Sub-Topics, and their descriptive titles, as appropriate.

Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities

All of our derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Calculation of a fair value of derivative instruments also requires management to use estimates. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. The changes in fair value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the corresponding amount recorded in current period earnings. We have certain interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and follow the accounting treatment discussed above. We also have certain interest rate swap derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly, changes in fair values are recognized in current earnings.

We disclose the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. We also provide more information about our liquidity by disclosing derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, we cross-reference within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Our determination of the appropriate accounting method with respect to our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, which is considered a VIE, is based on CBRE Strategic Partners Asia’s shortfall in the sufficiency of equity investment at risk which is characterized by its use of a subscription line of credit backed by investor capital commitments to fund its operations. We account for this VIE, of which we are not the primary beneficiary, under the equity method of accounting.

We determine if an entity is a VIE based on several factors, including whether the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. In a quantitative analysis, we incorporate various estimates, including estimated future cash flows, asset hold periods and discount rates, as well as estimates of the probabilities of various scenarios occurring. If the entity is a VIE, we then determine whether we consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary. We determine whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be

 

57


Table of Contents

consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates in these evaluations, it could result in differing conclusions as to whether or not an entity is a VIE and whether or not to consolidate such entity.

With respect to our majority limited membership interest in the Duke joint venture and Afton Ridge, we considered FASB ASC 810-10-15 in determining that we did not have control over the financial and operating decisions of such entity due to the existence of substantive participating rights held by the minority limited member who is also the managing member of the Duke joint venture.

We carry our investments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, the Duke joint venture and Afton Ridge on the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of each such entity. We eliminate transactions with such equity method entity to the extent of our ownership in each such entity. Accordingly, our share of net income (loss) of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net income (loss). Under the equity method, impairment losses are recognized upon evidence of other-than-temporary losses of value.

Our investments in unconsolidated entities in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, but do not control or entities which are variable interest entities in which we are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, our share of the earnings from these equity method basis companies is included in consolidated net income. Our determination of the appropriate accounting treatment for an investment in an entity requires judgment of several factors, including the size and nature of our ownership interest and the other owners’ substantive rights to make decisions for the entity. If we were to make different judgments or conclusions as to the level of our control or influence, it could result in a different accounting treatment. Accounting for an investment as either consolidated or using the equity method generally would have no impact on our net income or stockholders’ equity in any accounting period, but a different treatment would impact individual income statement and balance sheet items, as consolidation would effectively “gross up” our income statement and balance sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We elected to apply the fair value option for one of our eligible mortgage notes payable that was newly issued debt during the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The measurement of the elected mortgage note payable at its fair value and its impact on the statement of operations is described in Notes 15 and 16.

We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow.

The financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements are the two interest rate swaps, one interest rate cap, and one mortgage note payable that is economically hedged by one of the interest rate swaps.

The remaining financial assets and liabilities which are only disclosed at fair value are comprised of all other notes payable, the line of credit and other debt instruments.

We determined the fair value of our secured mortgage notes payable, unsecured line of credit note payable and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or LIBOR rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt and then adding an

Table of Contents

appropriate credit spread derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

We adopted the fair value measurement criteria described herein to our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the fair value measurement criteria to our non-financial assets and liabilities will not have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities typically recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include:

 

   

Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition or business combination;

 

   

Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment assessment and

 

   

Asset retirement obligations initially measured under FASB ASC 410.

Pronouncement Affecting the Presentation of Non-controlling (Minority) Interests in the Operating Partnership

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB ASC 810. The new accounting provisions require that amounts formerly reported as minority interests in our consolidated financial statements be reported as non-controlling interests. In connection with the issuance of this adoption, certain revisions were also made to FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A. These revisions clarify that non-controlling interests with redemption provisions outside of the control of the issuer and non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer are subject to evaluation to determine the appropriate balance sheet classification and measurement of such instruments.

With respect to the operating partnership units, the non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer be further evaluated under FASB ASC 815-40 to determine whether permanent equity or temporary equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the operating partnership units contain such a provision, the Company evaluated this guidance and determined that the operating partnership units do not meet requirements to qualify for equity presentation. As a result, the operating partnership units are presented in the temporary equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and reported at the higher of their proportionate share of the net assets of CBRE OP or fair value, with period to period changes in value reported as an adjustment to shareholder’s equity. Under the terms of the Second Amended Partnership Agreement the fair value of the operating partnership units is determined as an amount equal to the redemption value as defined in the Second Amended Partnership Agreement. This balance sheet measurement represents a change to previously reported balance sheet amounts for the operating partnership units since under previous accounting guidance the operating partnership units were reported based on periodic adjustments for their proportionate share of earnings allocations from CBRE OP.

Table of Contents

In accordance with the guidance, the presentation and measurement requirements of the new accounting provisions were presented retrospectively on our consolidated balance sheets. The effect of the adoptions is an increase in non-controlling interest of $1,139,000 and a decrease in total shareholder’s equity by the same amount on our consolidated balance sheet for the periods presented below. The $1,139,000 represents the adjustment required to record the operating partnership units at fair value for the periods. The adoption of the new accounting provisions the related revisions to existing accounting provisions had no impact on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

Pronouncement Affecting Operating Property Acquisitions

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 805 which requires an acquiring entity to recognize acquired assets and assumed liabilities in a transaction at fair value as of the acquisition date and changes the accounting treatment for certain items, including acquisition costs, which is required to be expensed as incurred. FASB ASC 805 is required to be applied on a prospective basis.

The adoption of the provisions of FASB ASC 805 will have an impact on the cost allocation of future acquisitions and requires us to expense acquisition costs for future property acquisitions. The adoption of the provisions of the new accounting standard FASB ASC 805 had an effect on our consolidated financial statements, results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We expensed $2,536,000 and $3,534,000 of acquisition costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, an update was made to the accounting provision FASB ASC 810-10-15. Among other things, the update replaces the calculation for determining which entities, if any, have a controlling financial interest in a VIE from a quantitative based risks and rewards calculation, to a qualitative approach that focuses on identifying which entities have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. The update also requires ongoing assessments as to whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE (previously, reconsideration was only required upon the occurrence of specific events), modifies the presentation of consolidated VIE assets and liabilities, and requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in VIEs. This update will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this update will have, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations when it becomes effective in 2010.

Other Accounting Standards Updates not effective until after September 30, 2009, are not expected to have a significant effect on the our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Treatment of Management Compensation, Expense Reimbursements

Management of our operations is conducted by our Investment Advisor. Fees related to services provided by our Investment Advisor are accounted for based on the nature of such service and the relevant accounting literature. Fees for services performed that represent our period costs, such as cash payments for investment management fees paid to our Investment Advisor, are expensed as incurred. In addition, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor owns a Class B interest which represents a profits interest in CBRE OP related to these services.

Subject to certain limitations, we are obligated to reimburse the Investment Advisor for the organizational and offering costs incurred on our behalf. This treatment is consistent with the requirement that we include all of the costs associated with our operations and formation in our financial statements. These costs will then be analyzed and segregated between those which are organizational in nature, those which are offering-related salaries and other general and administrative expenses of the Investment Advisor and its affiliates, and those which qualify as offering expenses. Organizational costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities.” Offering-related salaries and other general and administrative costs of the Investment Advisor and its affiliates will be expensed as incurred and third-party offering expenses will be taken as a reduction against the net proceeds of the offering within additional paid-in capital. Offering costs incurred through September 30, 2009 totaling $79,882,000 are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. Of the total amount, $69,532,000 was incurred to CNL Securities Corp., as Dealer Manager; $3,969,000 was incurred to CB Richard Ellis, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, $292,000 was incurred to our Investment Advisor for reimbursable marketing costs and $6,089,000 was incurred to other service providers. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the accrued offering costs payable to related parties included in our consolidated balance sheets were $1,873,000 and $4,390,000, respectively. Offering costs payable to unrelated parties of $93,000 and $132,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The Investment Advisor earned investment management fees of $2,098,000 and $1,016,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $5,584,000 and $2,495,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the investment management fee payable included in investment management fees payable to related party in our consolidated balance sheets were $718,000 and $625,000, respectively. In connection with services provided to the Investment Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and an affiliate of the Dealer Manager pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement dated August 21, 2006, was paid by the Investment Advisor $290,000 and $140,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $771,000 and $344,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Investment Advisor earned acquisition fees of $1,826,000 and $2,143,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2,549,000 and $3,207,000 for the nine months ended 2009 and 2008, respectively. In connection with services provided to the Investment Advisor, the Sub-Advisor, pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement, was paid by the Investment Advisor acquisition fees of $341,000 and $401,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $476,000 and $600,000 for the nine months ended 2009 and 2008, respectively. Acquisition related expenses totaling $183,000 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $255,000 and $0 were earned by the Investment Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Prior to the adoption of FASB ASC 805 on January 1, 2009, these fees and expenses were capitalized to investments in real estate and related intangibles.

Rental Operations

During the fourth quarter of 2008, management reevaluated the structure of its business and devised a new reportable segment structure. Our reportable segments consist of three types of commercial real estate properties for which our management internally evaluates operating performance and financial results: the Domestic

Industrial Properties, Domestic Office Properties and International Office/Retail Properties. All periods presented have been revised to report our segment results under our new reportable segment structure. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on net operating income, defined as: rental income and tenant reimbursements less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance, management fees and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and our company-level general and administrative expenses. The following tables compare the net operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Total Segment Net Operating Income is a Non-GAAP financial measure which may be useful as a supplemental measure for evaluating the relationship of each reporting segment to the combined total. This measure should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to our U.S. GAAP presentations provided. Segment “Net Operating Income” is defined as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other property income) less property and related expenses (property expenses, including real estate taxes) before depreciation and amortization expense. The Net Operating Income segment information presented consists of the same Net Operating Income segment information disclosed in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Liquidity is a measurement of the ability to meet cash requirements, including funding investments and ongoing commitments, to repay borrowings as well as paying dividends, fees and other costs associated with our public offerings and other general business needs. We are currently experiencing a global economic downturn and credit crunch. As a result, many financial industry participants, including commercial real estate owners, operators, investors and lenders continue to find it challenging to obtain cost-effective debt capital to finance new investment activity or to refinance maturing debt. Our sources of funds will primarily be the net proceeds of our initial public and follow-on offerings, operating cash flows and borrowings. We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other than these sources within the next twelve months. Cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. Depending on market conditions, we expect that once the net proceeds of our initial public and follow-on offerings are fully invested, our debt financing will be approximately 65% of the value of the cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. The amount of debt we place on an individual property, or the amount of debt incurred by an individual entity in which we invest, may be more or less than 65% of the value of such property or the value of the assets owned by such entity, depending on market conditions and other factors. In fact, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may choose not to place debt on our portfolio or our assets and may choose not to borrow to finance our operations or to acquire properties. Our declaration of trust limits our borrowing to 300% of our net assets unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent trustees and is disclosed to our shareholders in our next quarterly report. Our declaration of trust defines “net assets” as our total assets (other than intangibles) at cost, before deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts or other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly by us on a basis consistently applied; provided, however, that during such periods in which we are obtaining regular independent valuations of the current value of its net assets for purposes of enabling fiduciaries of employee benefit plan shareholders to

Table of Contents

comply with applicable Department of Labor reporting requirements, “net assets” means the greater of (i) the amount determined pursuant to the foregoing and (ii) the assets’ aggregate valuation established by the most recent such valuation report without reduction for depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves. Any indebtedness we do incur will likely be subject to continuing covenants, and we will likely be required to make continuing representations and warranties in connection with such debt. Moreover, some or all of our debt may be secured by some or all of our assets. If we default in the payment of interest or principal on any such debt, breach any representation or warranty in connection with any borrowing or violate any covenant in any loan document, our lender may accelerate the maturity of such debt requiring us to immediately repay all outstanding principal. If we are unable to make such payment, our lender could foreclose on our assets that are pledged as collateral to such lender. The lender could also sue us or force us into bankruptcy. Any such event would have a material adverse effect on the value of our common shares. We believe that, even without any proceeds raised from our public offering, we have sufficient cash flow from operations to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to the Investment Advisor and the Dealer Manager. During the offering stage, assuming all of the shares in our $3,000,000,000 primary offering are sold, these payments will include payments of up to $189,000,000 for selling commissions, up to $54,000,000 for the dealer manager fee, up to $27,000,000 for the marketing support fee and up to $20,750,000 for organizational and offering expenses. During the acquisition and operational stages, certain services related to the acquisition and management of our investments and our operations will be provided to us by the Investment Advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement entered into in July 2004 which was amended and restated in October 2006 and again in January 2009. Pursuant to that agreement, we expect to make various payments to the Investment Advisor, including acquisition fees, investment management fees and payments for reimbursements of certain costs incurred by the Investment Advisor in providing related services to us. As the actual amounts to be paid are dependent upon the total equity and debt capital we raise and our results of operations, we cannot determine these amounts at this time.

In order to avoid corporate-level tax on our net taxable income, we are required to pay distributions to our shareholders equal to our net taxable income. In addition, to qualify as a REIT, we are required to pay distributions to our shareholders equal to at least 90% of our net ordinary taxable income. See “Distribution Policy.” Therefore, once the net proceeds we receive from our public offerings are substantially fully invested, we will need to raise additional capital in order to grow our business and acquire additional real estate investments. We anticipate borrowing funds to obtain additional capital, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Historical Cash Flows

Our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $8,542,000 to $21,997,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $13,455,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was due to operating distributions from the Duke joint venture and Afton Ridge and increased billing collections from both consolidated and unconsolidated properties; offset by lower interest income, the payment of annual property taxes for North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas properties and the expensing of acquisition costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $66,960,000 to $166,937,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $233,897,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was due to reduced acquisitions of real estate properties and investments in unconsolidated entities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008. In addition, we received the return of capital of $325,000 from our unconsolidated entity.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $53,898,000 to $231,140,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $177,242,000 for the nine

months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was due to the pay down of loan payable of $45,000,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase in proceeds from the public offering of $34,863,000 and a decrease in deferred financing costs of $380,000 offset by an increase in offering costs of $11,277,000, an increase in shareholder redemptions of $9,724,000, an increase in distributions to shareholders and non-controlling interest holders of $3,091,000, a decrease in debt financing of $1,207,000, an increase in principal payments on notes payable of $668,000 and a decrease in security deposits of $378,000.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds from Operations

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors consider presentations of operating results for REITs that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Consequently, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), created Funds from Operations (“FFO”), as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance.

FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to FFO is net income. FFO, as we define it, is presented as a supplemental financial measure. Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of REIT performance. FFO does not present, nor do we intend for it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and/or operating performance. We believe that net income, as computed under U.S. GAAP, appropriately remains the primary measure of our performance and that FFO, when considered in conjunction with net income, improves the investing public’s understanding of the operating results of REITs and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. Modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business and provide greater transparency to the investing public as to how our management team considers our results of operations. As a result, our FFO may not be comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The revised NAREIT White Paper on FFO defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by U.S. GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Management believes that NAREIT’s definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time, and that depreciation charges required by U.S. GAAP do not always reflect the underlying economic realities. Likewise, the exclusion from NAREIT’s definition of FFO of gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Thus, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. Management also believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs, since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.

In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, we also disclose FFO, as adjusted, which excludes the effects of any non-cash impairment charges. We believe that adjusting FFO to exclude these impairment charges more appropriately presents our results of operations on a comparative basis. The items that we exclude from net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative effects on our results of operations, often in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. The economics underlying these excluded items are not the primary factors in management’s decision-making

Table of Contents

process. Period to period fluctuations in these items can be driven by accounting for short-term factors that are not relevant to long-term investment decisions, long-term capital structures or long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions. Therefore, while our FFO, as adjusted, clearly differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO, and may not be comparable to similarly named measures of other REITs and real estate companies, we believe that it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance. We believe that investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in planning and executing our business strategy, thus fostering a greater degree of transparency into our management process.

Neither FFO, nor FFO as adjusted, represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to (i) net income (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), as indications of our financial performance, or (ii) to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, each of FFO and FFO, as adjusted, should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table presents our FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Represents our share of the FFO adjustments allowable under the NAREIT definition (primarily depreciation) for each of our unconsolidated entities multiplied by the percentage of income or loss recognized by us for each of these unconsolidated entities, which generally is equal to our ownership interest in each of these unconsolidated entities. However due to the preferred return structure of our Duke joint venture, we recognized substantially all of the net income of this unconsolidated entity.

Financing

Notes Payable

In connection with our acquisition of the Carolina Portfolio on August 30, 2007, we assumed 13 loans with principal balances totaling $66,110,000 ($62,944,000 at estimated fair value including the discount of $3,166,000) from various lenders that are secured by first deeds of trust on the properties and the assignment of related rents and leases. Assumption fees and other loan closing costs totaling $765,500 were capitalized as

incurred. The loans bear interest at rates ranging from 4.98% to 6.33% per annum and mature between March 1, 2013 and February 1, 2025. The loans require monthly payments of interest and principal, fully amortized over the lives of the loans. Principal payments totaling $2,669,000 were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We indemnify the lenders against environmental costs and expenses and guarantee the loans under certain conditions.

On May 30, 2008, we entered into a £7,500,000 ($11,987,000 at September 30, 2009) financing arrangement with the Royal Bank of Scotland plc secured by the Thames Valley Five property. The loan is for a term of five years (with a two year extension option) and bears interest at a variable rate of interest, adjusted quarterly, based on three month GBP-based LIBOR plus 1.01%. In addition, we incurred financing costs of approximately £78,000 ($125,000 at September 30, 2009) associated with obtaining this loan. On August 14, 2008, we entered into the interest rate swap agreement that fixes the GBP-based LIBOR rate at 5.41% plus 1.01% or 6.42% per annum as of September 30, 2009 and expires on May 30, 2013. Interest payments only are due quarterly for the term of the loan with principal due at maturity.

The loan is for a term of five years and bears interest at a variable rate of interest, adjusted quarterly, based on three month GBP based LIBOR plus 1.31%. In additional, we incurred financing costs of approximately £81,000, ($121,000 through September 30, 2009) associated with obtaining this loan. On November 25, 2008, we entered into the interest rate swap agreement that fixed the GBP-based LIBOR rate at 3.94% plus 1.31% or 5.25% per annum as of September 30, 2009 and expires on October 10 2013. Interest only payments are due quarterly for the term of the loan with principal due at maturity.

Loan Payable

On August 8, 2008, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Bank of America, which amended the terms of our prior credit agreement with Bank of America, to provide us with the Revolving Credit Facility, and to replace our prior Bank of America term loan and revolving credit facility which matured in August 2008. The new Revolving Credit Facility was fully drawn upon at closing, with such proceeds utilized to pay down the full $45,000,000 amount outstanding under our prior Bank of America term loan (as of August 8, 2008, no amount was outstanding under our prior $10,000,000 Bank of America revolving credit facility). The new Revolving Credit Facility matures in August 2010 and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.75%, based upon our leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement (at our current leverage ratio, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%). An upfront fee of $292,500 was paid to Bank of America, and a fee equal to the actual daily amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed the total outstanding (both as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement) times 0.20% per annum if the total outstanding are equal to or more than 50% of the aggregate commitments, or 0.25% per annum otherwise, is accrued on unfunded balances under the Revolving Credit Facility. The loan contains various financial covenants and restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.75 to 1.00, as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Distribution Policy

In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must make distributions to our shareholders each year in an amount at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income (as determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain).

We intend to declare dividends on a daily basis, but aggregate and pay dividends on a quarterly basis. Our dividend policy is subject to revision at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without notice to you or shareholder approval. All distributions will be made by us at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will be based upon our Board of trustee’s evaluation of our assets, operating results, historical and projected cash flows (and sources thereof), historical and projected equity offering proceeds, historical and projected debt incurred, projected investments and capital requirements, the anticipated timing between receipt of our equity offering proceeds and investment of those proceeds, maintenance of REIT qualification, applicable provisions of Maryland law, general economic, market and industry conditions, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.

The following table presents total distributions declared and paid and distributions per share:

For the three quarters ended September 30, 2009 distributions were funded 64.67% by cash flows provided by operating activities and 35.33% from uninvested proceeds from financings of our properties. In addition, distributions totaling $12,346,000 were reinvested in our common shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan during the three quarters ended September 30, 2009.

Our 2008 distributions were funded 67.56% by cash flows provided by operating activities and 32.44% from uninvested proceeds from financings of our properties. In addition, distributions totaling $8,918,000 were reinvested in our common shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan during 2008.

Table of Contents

It is anticipated that distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to our shareholders, although a portion of such distributions may be designated by us as a return of capital or as capital gain. We will furnish annually to each of our shareholders a statement setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income, return of capital or capital gains.

To the extent that our cash available for distribution is less than the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT, we may consider various funding sources to cover any shortfall, including borrowing funds on a short-term, or possibly long-term, basis or selling properties. In addition, we may utilize these funding sources to make distributions that exceed the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2009, we had three Investments in Unconsolidated Entities. Our investments are discussed in Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Unconsolidated payment amounts are at our pro rata share of effective ownership and exclude our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.

As of September 30, 2009, we were committed to pay $1,966,000 in accrued offering costs. The timing of future payments is uncertain.

As of September 30, 2009, we had an unfunded investment commitment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia totaling $12,088,000. The timing of future payments is uncertain.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Under the Internal Revenue Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they distribute at least 90% of their annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to their shareholders. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify. Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to state, local and foreign taxes on our income and properties and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed gross income. Our properties located in Texas are subject to a Texas Gross Margin Tax, our property located in Georgia is subject to a Georgia Corporation Income Tax and properties located in North Carolina and California are subject to a Franchise Tax under which we incurred a total of approximately $131,000 of taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Inflation

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to the relatively low inflation rate. With the exception of leases with tenants in multifamily properties, we expect to include provisions in the majority of our tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions will include reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain allowance. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market. Leases in multifamily properties generally turn over on an annual basis and do not typically present the same issue regarding inflation protection due to their short-term nature.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.

 

75


Table of Contents

We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

Upon the maturity of our debt, there is a market risk as to the prevailing rates at the time of refinancing. Changes in market rates on our fixed-rate debt affect the fair market value of our debt but it has no impact on interest expense or cash flow. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on our fixed rate debt would not increase or decrease our annual interest expense or our fixed rate debt.

The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on current interest rates available to us for debt instruments with similar terms. The following tables summarize our financial instruments and their calculated fair value at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

Subsequent Events

From October 1, 2009 through November 11, 2009, we received gross proceeds from our follow-on public offering of $60,828,327 from the sale of 6,110,491 common shares.

On October 15, 2009, the Duke joint venture acquired Northpoint III, located at 3300 Exchange Place, Lake Mary, FL, a suburb of Orlando, for approximately $18,240,000, exclusive of customary closing costs and acquisition fees which are both expensed as incurred. We own an 80% interest in the Duke joint venture, and we made cash contributions totaling approximately $14,406,000 to the Duke joint venture in connection with the acquisition, using the net proceeds from our current public offering. Northpoint III is a 108,499 square foot four-story office building that was completed in 2001. Northpoint III is 100% leased to Florida Power Corporation d/b/a Progress Energy Florida, Inc., a major electric utility in Florida. Upon closing, we paid the Investment Advisor a $218,880 acquisition fee.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have formally adopted a policy for disclosure controls and procedures that provides guidance on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects and that all information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. Also, we have an investment in three unconsolidated entities. As we do not control these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to these entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as required by the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

No changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

Pronouncement Affecting the Presentation of Non-controlling (Minority) Interests in the Operating Partnership

Effective January 1, 2009 we adopted the Codification Topic “Consolidation” (“FASB ASC 810”) as described more fully in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Pronouncement Affecting the Presentation of Non-controlling (Minority) Interests in the Operating Partnership,” to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. This adoption did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, it did impact the presentation and disclosure of non-controlling (minority) interests in our consolidated financial statements. As a result of the retrospective presentation and disclosure requirements, we will be required to reflect the change in presentation and disclosure for all periods presented in future filings.

In connection with this issuance, certain revisions were also made to the Codification Topic “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A”). These revisions clarify that non-controlling interests with redemption provisions outside of the control of the issuer and non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer are subject to evaluation under to determine the appropriate balance sheet classification and measurement of such instruments.

With respect to the operating partnership units, the FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A requires non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer be further evaluated under the Codification Sub-Topic “Derivatives and Hedging – Conditions necessary for Equity Classification” (“FASB ASC 815-40-25-10”) (Paragraphs 815-40-25-39 through 815-40-25-42) to determine whether permanent equity or temporary equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the operating partnership units contain such a provision, the Company evaluated this guidance and determined that the operating partnership units do not meet the requirements to qualify for equity presentation. As a result, upon the adoption of FASB ASC 810 and the related revisions to FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A the operating partnership units are presented in the temporary equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and reported at the higher of their proportionate share of the net assets of CBRE OP or fair value, with period to period changes in value reported as an adjustment to shareholder’s equity. Under the terms of the

 

81


Table of Contents

Second Amended Partnership Agreement the fair value of the operating partnership units is determined as an amount equal to the redemption value as defined therein. This balance sheet measurement represents a change to previously reported balance sheet amounts for the operating partnership units since under previous accounting guidance the operating partnership units were reported based on periodic adjustments for their proportionate share of earnings allocations from CBRE OP.

The principal effect on the prior year balance sheets is the change in presentation of the minority interest of limited partner as redeemable non-controlling interest of limited partners. The retrospective adoption and the measurement provisions of (“the retrospective adoption”) changed the minority interest of limited partner of $1,325,000, as previously reported as of December 31, 2008, and the minority interest of limited partner of $1,495,000, as previously reported as of December 31, 2007, to redeemable non-controlling interest of limited partners of $2,464,000 and $2,464,000, respectively. The retrospective adoption also changed additional paid-in capital as previously reported for December 31, 2008 and 2007 from $561,331,000 and $264,954,000 to $560,110,000 and $263,987,000, respectively.

The adoption also requires that net income (loss) be adjusted to include the net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest, and a new separate line item for net (income) loss attributable to controlling interest be presented in the consolidated statements of operations. Thus, after adoption the net loss of $(6,656,000), $(403,000) and $(2,484,000), for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, as previously reported, respectively, will change to net loss of $(6,682,000), $(407,000) and $(1,426,000), respectively, and net loss attributable to controlling interest will be equal to net loss as previously reported prior to the adoption. The retrospective adoption had no impact on our consolidated cash flows.
