Three Month Financial and Operating Results

During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company changed the redemption features of its Common and Preferred Units.  The change to the Preferred Units resulted in a one-time non-cash fair value adjustment of $58.6 million, which represents the increase of the book value of the units to their fair market value.  The change also resulted in a reclassification of the Non-Controlling Interests from the mezzanine equity section of the Company’s balance sheet to permanent equity, thus increasing total equity.

The Company reported Funds from Operations (FFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 of $(57.6) million, or $(3.17) per diluted share/common unit, compared to $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share/common unit, for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  FFO excluding the non-cash fair value adjustment of the Preferred Units for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $1.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share/common unit.

The Company reported Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 of $1.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share/common unit, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share/common unit, for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.

The Company also reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 of $12.2 million, which includes the Company’s portion of the one-time fair value adjustment charge of the Preferred Units of $10.9 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $1.3 million. The Company also reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 of $1.2 million, which includes the Company’s portion of depreciation and amortization expense of $1.2 million.   The net loss per basic and diluted share for the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $3.17 and $0.38 per share, respectively.

Twelve Month Financial and Operating Results

The Company reported Funds from Operations (FFO) for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $(54.3) million, or $(3.09) per diluted share/common unit.  FFO excluding the one-time fair value adjustment of the Preferred Units for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $4.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share/common unit.  The Company’s FFO for the year ended December 31, 2008 is not comparable due to the Company’s formation on March 20, 2008.

The Company reported Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $7.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted share/common unit. The Company’s AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2008 is not comparable due to the Company’s formation on March 20, 2008.

The Company also reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $15.6 million, or $4.79 net loss per basic and diluted share, which includes the Company’s portion of the fair value adjustment charge of the Preferred Units of $10.9 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $5.1 million.  The Company’s combined GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $7.8 million, which includes the Company’s portion of the non-cash share-based compensation charge attributable to the Company’s formation of $2.9 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $3.9 million. The per share calculation is not comparable due to the Company’s formation on March 20, 2008.


Recent Corporate Milestones

·  
On December 3, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share of our common stock for the fourth quarter 2009, which was paid on January 15, 2010 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2009.

·  
The Company’s current total market capitalization is $625.0 million, including approximately $197.4 million in equity, assuming the conversion of all outstanding interests in our operating partnership, based on our closing price on the NYSE Amex on December 31, 2009.

·  
As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s property portfolio, including those properties owned in partnership with institutional co-investors, included 24 office properties consisting of 45 office buildings totaling approximately 4.7 million leasable square feet.

“We are pleased to report another quarter of solid results supported by the continued resilience of the Honolulu market, our core geography.  While general office fundamentals remain challenging, we are confident in our ability to outperform the market in the regions where we compete.  We generate approximately 75% of our rental revenues from the Honolulu market.  This market continues to show stronger occupancy and rent metrics than most U.S. markets, and has had a stabilizing effect on the overall portfolio.” said Jay H. Shidler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We are also very pleased with our acquisition of Seaview Corporate Center, which is accretive to our shareholders.  We believe that this acquisition is indicative of currently favorable market conditions that will continue to present attractive investment opportunities during the coming year.”

Mr. Shidler continued “Our Senior Common Stock offering commenced in January.  The proceeds from this offering will provide us with an excellent source of low cost capital that we expect will allow us to compete effectively for the investment opportunities that we are seeing in the marketplace.”

Explanation of Notations

(1)  
FFO is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. We calculate FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO represents net income (loss) attributable to stockholders (as computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from dispositions of property, extraordinary items, real estate-related depreciation and amortization (including capitalized leasing expenses, tenant allowances or improvements and excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.


However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other Equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other Equity REITs' FFO. As a result, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. FFO also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP).

(2)  
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure we believe is a useful supplemental measure of our performance.  We compute AFFO by subtracting from FFO the straight-line rent adjustments and recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and then adding the amortization of interest rate contracts, loan premium and prepaid financing costs, non-cash compensation expense, and interest expense deferred on unsecured notes.  AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow for the period, and it only provides an additional perspective on our ability to fund cash needs and make distributions to shareholders by adjusting the effect of the non-cash items included in FFO, as well as recurring capital expenditures and leasing costs.  We believe that net income or loss is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to AFFO.  We also believe that AFFO provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’s financial position as compared to other REITs since AFFO is a widely reported measure used by other REITs.  However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

(3)  
The weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding – basic and diluted includes common unit limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership.

Our outstanding preferred unit interests in our Operating Partnership are convertible into common unit limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership, but no earlier than the later of March 19, 2010 and the date an underwritten public equity offering of our common stock in an amount equal to or greater than $75 million is consummated, which is a contingent event as of December 31, 2009. These common unit interests will become exchangeable for shares of our common stock one year after such conversion. Our outstanding preferred unit interests at December 31, 2009 represent 32,597,528 common share equivalents, on an as-if converted basis, and any impact related to these outstanding limited preferred interests have not been included in our calculation of diluted earnings per share or FFO per share, including our calculation of the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding, in accordance with GAAP. Assuming the full conversion of our outstanding preferred unit interests at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our FFO per share/unit, on a fully diluted basis, would have been $(1.13) and $0.02, and our AFFO per share/unit, on a fully diluted basis, would have been $0.03 and $0.02, for the three months then ended, respectively.  Assuming the full conversion of our outstanding preferred unit interests at December 31, 2009, our FFO excluding the fair value adjustment for the Preferred Units per share/unit would have been $0.02 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Assuming the full conversion of our outstanding preferred unit interests at December 31, 2009, our FFO per share/unit, on a fully diluted basis, would have been $(1.08), our FFO excluding the fair value adjustment for the Preferred Units per share/unit, on a fully diluted basis, would have been $0.09 and our AFFO per share/unit, on a fully diluted basis, would have been $0.15 for the year then ended.
