Organization and Ownership

Pacific Office Properties

The terms “Pacific Office Properties,” “us,” “we,” and “our” as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and joint ventures. Through our controlling interest in Pacific Office Properties, L.P. (the “UPREIT” or the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, we own and operate office properties in selected submarkets of long term growth markets in Honolulu and the western United States, including southern California and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. We operate as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. We are externally advised by Pacific Office Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Advisor”), an entity owned and controlled by Jay H. Shidler, our Chairman of the Board, and certain related parties of The Shidler Group, which is a business name utilized by a number of affiliates controlled by Jay H. Shidler. The Advisor is responsible for our day-to-day operation and management.  See Note 12 for a detailed discussion of the Advisor’s role.

Through our Operating Partnership, as of March 31, 2010, we owned whole interests in eight fee simple and leasehold office properties and we owned ownership interests in seven joint ventures (including management ownership interests in six of those seven) holding 16 office properties, comprising approximately 4.7 million square feet of leasable area in Honolulu, southern California and the greater Phoenix metropolitan areas (the “Property Portfolio”).  Our property statistics as of March 31, 2010, were as follows:

Transactions

On March 19, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), Arizona Land Income Corporation, an Arizona corporation (“AZL”), and POP Venture, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Venture”), consummated the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by a Master Formation and Contribution Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2006, as amended (the “Master Agreement”). As part of the Transactions, AZL merged with and into the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, with the Company being the surviving corporation. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of AZL and substantially all of the commercial real estate assets and liabilities of Venture, which included eight office properties and a 7.5% joint venture interest in one office property (the “Contributed Properties”), were contributed to a newly formed Delaware limited partnership, the Operating Partnership, in which the Company became the sole general partner and Venture became a limited partner with corresponding 18.2% and 81.8% common ownership interests, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information in accordance with GAAP.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)

The financial statements of the Company for all periods presented herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. Further, the interim results of operations for the aforementioned periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might be expected for a given fiscal year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no corresponding net effect on the previously reported consolidated results of operations, financial position of the Company.  Our consolidated statement of cash flows has been adjusted to separate restricted cash amounts related to operating activities (i.e. tax and insurance reserves) from restricted cash amounts related to investing activities (i.e. capital expenditures).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the account balances and transactions of consolidated subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Our investments in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting because we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, our joint ventures. Our joint venture partners have substantive participating rights, including approval of and participation in setting operating budgets. Accordingly, we have determined that the equity method of accounting is appropriate for our investments in joint ventures.

Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted for our proportionate equity in the net income or net loss of the joint ventures, contributions made to, or distributions received from, the joint ventures and other adjustments. We record distributions of operating profit from our investments as part of cash flows from operating activities and distributions related to a capital transaction, such as a refinancing transaction or sale, as investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. A description of our impairment policy is set forth in this Note 2.

The difference between the initial cost of the investment in our joint ventures included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets of the respective joint ventures (“JV Basis Differential”) is amortized as an adjustment to equity in net income or net loss of the joint ventures in our condensed consolidated statement of operations over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets of the respective joint ventures.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we currently distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. Also, at least 95% of gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources. We intend to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. However, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any. Management believes that it has distributed and will continue to distribute a sufficient majority of its taxable income in the form of dividends and distributions to its stockholders and unit holders. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recognized by the Company.

Pursuant to the Code, we may elect to treat certain of our newly created corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”).  In general, a TRS may perform non-customary services for our tenants, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business.  A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax.  As of March 31, 2010, none of our subsidiaries were considered a TRS.

Earnings per Share

We present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”).  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.

Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the number of common shares that would have been earned and outstanding, assuming the issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during such period.

Real Estate Properties

Acquisitions

We account for acquisitions utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of operations of acquired properties are included in our results of operations from the respective dates of acquisition.

Investments in real estate properties are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. A portion of certain assets comprising the Contributed Properties are stated at their historical net cost basis in an amount attributable to the ownership interests in the Contributed Properties owned by Jay H. Shidler. Additions to land, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment and construction in progress are recorded at cost.  Beginning January 1, 2009, transaction costs related to acquisitions are expensed, rather than included with the consideration paid.

Costs associated with developing space for its intended use are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives, commencing at the earlier of the lease execution date or the lease commencement date.

Estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques are used to allocate the acquisition cost of acquired properties among land, buildings and improvements, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place at-market leases, acquired above- and below-market leases, and acquired above- and below-market ground leases.

The fair values of real estate assets acquired are determined on an “as-if-vacant” basis. The “as-if-vacant” fair value is allocated to land, and where applicable, buildings, tenant improvements and equipment based on comparable sales and other relevant information obtained in connection with the acquisition of the property.

Fair value is assigned to above-market and below-market leases based on the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid by the tenant based on the existing lease and (b) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, over the remaining terms of the in-place leases. Capitalized above and below-market lease amounts are reflected in “Acquired below market leases, net” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized above-market lease amounts are amortized as a decrease to rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease amounts are amortized as an increase in rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance, net of the security deposit, of the related intangible is written off.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets consists of acquired in-place leases. The fair value allocated to acquired in-place leases consists of a variety of components including, but not necessarily limited to: (a) the value associated with avoiding the cost of originating the acquired in-place lease (i.e. the market cost to execute a lease, including leasing commissions and legal fees, if any); (b) the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs estimated to be incurred during the assumed lease-up period (i.e. real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses); (c) the value associated with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed lease-up period; and (d) the value associated with any other inducements to secure a tenant lease. The value assigned to acquired in-place leases is amortized over the remaining lives of the related leases.

We record the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss for an asset group is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, except that the loss allocated to an individual long-lived asset shall not reduce the carrying amount of that asset below its fair value. A description of our testing policy is set forth in this Note 2.

In connection with the Transactions, we received a representation from our predecessor, AZL, that it qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. However, during 2009 we became aware that, prior to the consummation of the Transactions, AZL historically invested excess cash from time to time in money market funds that, in turn, were invested exclusively or primarily in short-term federal government securities.  Additionally, during 2009 we became aware that AZL made two investments in local government obligations.  Our predecessor, AZL, with no objection from outside advisors, treated these investments as qualifying assets for purposes of the 75% gross asset test.  However, if these investments were not qualifying assets for purposes of the 75% gross asset test, then AZL may not have satisfied the REIT gross asset tests for certain quarters, in part, because they may have exceeded 5% of the gross value of AZL’s assets.  If these investments resulted in AZL’s noncompliance with the REIT gross asset tests, however, we and our predecessor, AZL, would retain qualification as a REIT pursuant to certain mitigation provisions of the Code, which provide that so long as any noncompliance was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, and certain other requirements are met, qualification as a REIT may be retained but a penalty tax would be owed.  Any potential noncompliance with the gross asset tests would be due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect so long as ordinary business care and prudence were exercised in attempting to satisfy such tests.  Based on our review of the circumstances surrounding the investments, we believe that any noncompliance was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect.  Additionally, we believe that we have complied with the other requirements of the mitigation provisions of the Code with respect to such potential noncompliance with the gross asset tests (and have paid the appropriate penalty tax), and, therefore, our qualification, and that of our predecessor, AZL, as a REIT should not be affected.  The Internal Revenue Service is not bound by our determination, however, and no assurance can be provided that the Internal Revenue Service will not assert that AZL failed to comply with the REIT gross asset tests as a result of the money market fund investments and the local government securities investments and that such failures were not due to reasonable cause.  If the Internal Revenue Service were to successfully challenge this position, then it could determine that we and AZL failed to qualify as a REIT in one or more of our taxable years.  As a result, we recorded an adjustment to and finalized the purchase price allocation we previously recorded upon consummation of the Transactions. This adjustment resulted in an increase to goodwill by approximately $0.5 million in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009.

Mortgage and Other Loans

Mortgage and other loans assumed upon acquisition of related real estate properties are stated at estimated fair value upon their respective dates of assumption, net of unamortized discounts or premiums to their outstanding contractual balances.

Amortization of discount and the accretion of premiums on mortgage and other loans assumed upon acquisition of related real estate properties are recognized from the date of assumption through their contractual maturity date using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful lives which range from 18 to 42 years. Tenant improvement costs recorded as capital assets are depreciated over the shorter of (i) the tenant’s remaining lease term or (ii) the life of the improvement. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over three to seven years.  Properties that are acquired that are subject to ground leases are depreciated over the remaining life of the related leases as of the date of assumption of the lease.

Revenue Recognition

All of our tenant leases are classified as operating leases. For all leases with scheduled rent increases or other adjustments, minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Straight-line rent receivable represents rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of billed rents and this amount is included in “Rents and other receivables, net” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, excise taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable costs are incurred.

We have leased space to certain tenants under non-cancelable operating leases, which provide for percentage rents based upon tenant revenues. Percentage rental income is recorded in rental revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Rental revenue from parking operations and month-to-month leases or leases with no scheduled rent increases or other adjustments is recognized on a monthly basis when earned.

Lease termination fees, net of the write-off of associated intangible assets and liabilities and straight-line rent balances which are included in other revenues of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, are recognized when the related leases are canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.

Other revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations generally includes income incidental to our operations and is recognized when earned.

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all short-term cash investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of preparing our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

We maintain cash balances in various financial institutions. At times, the amounts of cash held in financial institutions may exceed the maximum amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We do not believe that we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes escrow accounts for real property taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and tenant improvements, debt service and leasing costs held by lenders.

Impairment

We assess the potential for impairment of our long-lived assets, including real estate properties, whenever events occur or a change in circumstances indicate that the recorded value might not be fully recoverable. We determine whether impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to its carrying value. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, the real estate or intangible carrying value is reduced to fair value and impairment loss is recognized. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Based upon such periodic assessments, no indications of impairment were identified for the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred. The assessment of impairment involves a two-step process whereby an initial assessment for potential impairment is performed, followed by a measurement of the amount of impairment, if any. Impairment testing is performed using the fair value approach, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, at the “reporting unit” level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business that is one level below the operating segment if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at that level. The determination of a reporting unit’s fair value is based on management’s best estimate, which generally considers the market-based earning multiples of the unit’s peer companies or expected future cash flows. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.  An impairment is recognized as a charge against income equal to the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied value on the date of the impairment. As of March 31, 2010, nothing has come to our attention to cause us to believe that our carrying amount of goodwill is impaired.  The factors that may cause an impairment in goodwill include, but may not be limited to, a sustained decline in our stock price and the occurrence, or sustained existence, of adverse economic conditions.

 Impairment of Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is subject to a periodic impairment review and is considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. An investment in an unconsolidated joint venture that we identify as having an indicator of impairment is subject to further analysis to determine if the investment is other than temporarily impaired, in which case we write down the investment to its estimated fair value. We did not recognize an impairment loss on our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Repairs, Maintenance and Major Improvements

The costs of ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred. Major improvements that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Various lenders have required us to maintain reserve accounts for the funding of future repairs and capital expenditures, and the balances of these accounts are classified as restricted cash on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Tenant Receivables

Tenant receivables are recorded and carried at the amount billable per the applicable lease agreement, less any allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amounts is no longer considered probable. Tenant receivables are included in “Rents and other receivables, net”, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. If a tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize bad debt expense in future periods equal to the amount of unpaid rent and deferred rent. We take into consideration factors to evaluate the level of reserve necessary, including historical termination, default activity and current economic conditions. At March 31, 2010, the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.6 million, compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2009.

Preferred Units

Preferred Units have fixed rights to distributions at an annual rate of 2% of their liquidation preference of $25 per Preferred Unit. Accordingly, income or loss of the Operating Partnership is allocated among the general partner interest and limited partner common interests after taking into consideration distribution rights allocable to the Preferred Units.  As a result of changes to the redemption features on December 30, 2009, we recorded an increase in the recorded amount of the Preferred Units to their current fair value.  See Note 11 for additional detail.

Deferred Loan Fees

Deferred loan fees include fees and costs incurred in conjunction with long-term financings and are amortized over the terms of the related debt using a method that approximates the interest method. Deferred loan fees are included in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Amortization of deferred loan fees is included in interest in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Equity Offering Costs

Costs from potential equity offerings are reflected in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and will be reclassified as a reduction in additional paid-in capital upon successful completion of the offering, if any.

Leasing Commissions

Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease.  The payment of leasing commissions is included in cash used in investing activities on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows because we believe that paying leasing commissions for good tenants is a prudent investment in increasing the value of our income-producing assets.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

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

Stock-Based Compensation

All share-based payments to employees, including directors, are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values. See Note 13 for a more detailed discussion.

Segments

We own and operate office properties in the western United States.  We have concentrated initially on two long-term growth submarkets, Honolulu and the western United States mainland (in particular, southern California and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area).  We consider each of our properties to be an operating segment.  We aggregate the operating segments into two geographic segments on the basis of how the properties are managed and how our chief operating decision maker allocates resources and their similar economic characteristics.  See Note 14 for additional details.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance which requires us to perform an on-going reassessment of whether our enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity.  Our adoption of the guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to address implementation issues associated with the accounting for decreases in the ownership of a subsidiary.  The new guidance clarified the scope of the entities covered by the guidance related to accounting for decreases in the ownership of a subsidiary and specifically excluded in-substance real estate or conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights from the scope.  Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures required for a business combination achieved in stages and deconsolidation of a business or nonprofit activity.  The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 31, 2009 and must be applied on a retrospective basis to the first period that an entity adopted the new guidance related to noncontrolling interests.  Our adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We own interests in seven joint ventures (including managing ownership interests in six of those seven), consisting of 16 office properties, including 34 office buildings, comprising approximately 2.4 million rentable square feet. Our ownership interest percentages in these joint ventures range from approximately 5.0% to 32.2%.  In exchange for our managing ownership interest and related equity investment in these joint ventures, we are entitled to fees, preferential allocations of earnings and cash flows from each respective joint venture.

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the JV Basis Differential, net, was approximately $1.5 million, respectively, and is included in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in our consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the amount of JV Basis Differential amortization expense was not significant.

____________
 (a)
The loan secured by the Pacific Business News Building has matured and we have not repaid the principal balance.  The Company is currently in negotiations with the lender.

(b)
With regard to the City Square loan with an outstanding balance of $27.0 million at March 31, 2010, the Company has an interest rate cap on this loan for the notional amount of $28.5 million, which effectively limits the LIBOR rate on this loan to 7.45%. The interest rate cap expires on September 1, 2010, commensurate with the maturity date of this loan.

(c)
The terms of the Clifford Center loan provide the Company with the option to extend the maturity date to August 15, 2014 subject to a nominal fee, which the Company expects to exercise.

(d)
The revolving line of credit matures on September 2, 2011. Amounts borrowed under the FHB Credit Facility will bear interest at a fluctuating annual rate equal to the effective rate of interest paid by the lender on time certificates of deposit, plus 1.00%.  See “Revolving Line of Credit” below.

The lenders’ collateral for notes payable, with the exception of the Clifford Center note payable, is the property and, in some instances, cash reserve accounts, ownership interests in the underlying entity owning the real property, leasehold interests in certain ground leases, rights under certain service agreements, and letters of credit posted by certain related parties of the Company. The lenders’ collateral for the Clifford Center note payable is the leasehold property as well as guarantees from affiliates of the Company.

At March 31, 2010, the Operating Partnership was subject to a $0.6 million recourse commitment that it provided on behalf of POP San Diego I joint venture in connection with certain of that joint venture’s mortgage loans. The contractual provisions of these mortgage loans provide for the full release of this recourse commitment upon the satisfaction of certain conditions within our control. We believe that the subject conditions will be satisfied by management prior to, or during, the second quarter ending June 30, 2010, and will therefore result in the immediate and full release of the Operating Partnership from this recourse commitment.  As such, we have not recorded this as a liability because the probability for recourse is remote.

Revolving Line of Credit

On September 2, 2009, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “FHB Credit Facility”) with First Hawaiian Bank (the “Lender”).  The FHB Credit Facility initially provided us with a revolving line of credit in the principal sum of $10 million.  On December 31, 2009, we amended the FHB Credit Facility to increase the maximum principal amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit to $15 million.  Amounts borrowed under the FHB Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating annual rate equal to the effective rate of interest paid by the Lender on time certificates of deposit, plus 1.00%.  We are permitted to use the proceeds of the line of credit for working capital and general corporate purposes, consistent with our real estate operations and for such other purposes as the Lender may approve.  As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $12.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively, under the FHB Credit Facility.

The FHB Credit Facility matures on September 2, 2011.  As security for the FHB Credit Facility, as amended, Shidler Equities, L.P., a Hawaii limited partnership controlled by Mr. Shidler (“Shidler LP”), has pledged to FHB a certificate of deposit in the principal amount of $15 million.  As a condition to this pledge, the Operating Partnership and Shidler LP entered into an indemnification agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Shidler LP from any losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Shidler LP in connection with the pledge.  In addition, to the extent that all or any portion of the certificate of deposit is withdrawn by the Lender and applied to the payment of principal, interest and/or charges under the FHB Credit Facility, the Operating Partnership agreed to pay to Shidler LP interest on the withdrawn amount at a rate of 7.00% per annum from the date of the withdrawal until the date of repayment in full by the Operating Partnership to Shidler LP.  Pursuant to this indemnification agreement, as amended, the Operating Partnership also agreed to pay to Shidler LP an annual fee of 2.00% of the entire $15 million principal amount of the certificate of deposit.

The FHB Credit Facility contains various customary covenants, including covenants relating to disclosure of financial and other information to the Lender, maintenance and performance of our material contracts, our maintenance of adequate insurance, payment of the Lender’s fees and expenses, and other customary terms and conditions.

Unsecured Notes Payable to Related Parties

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had promissory notes payable by the Operating Partnership to certain affiliates in the aggregate principal amount of $21.1 million, respectively, which were originally issued upon the exercise of an option granted to us by Venture and its affiliates as part of the Transactions. The promissory notes accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum, with interest payable quarterly, subject to the Operating Partnership’s right to defer the payment of interest for any or all periods up until the date of maturity. The promissory notes mature on various dates commencing on March 19, 2013 through August 31, 2013, but the Operating Partnership may elect to extend maturity for one additional year. Maturity accelerates upon the occurrence of a) an underwritten public offering of at least $75 million of our common stock; b) the sale of substantially all the assets of the Company; or c) the merger of the Company with another entity. The promissory notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership.

On September 23, 2009, the Operating Partnership entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain of our affiliates (collectively, the “Transferors”).  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, on September 25, 2009, certain unsecured subordinated promissory notes, in the aggregate outstanding amount (including principal and accrued interest) of approximately $3.0 million, issued by the Operating Partnership to the Transferors were exchanged for 789,095 shares of our common stock.  The price per share of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was $3.82, which represented the volume-weighted average closing market price per share of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE Amex for the thirty trading days preceding the date of the Exchange Agreement.

For the period from March 20, 2008 through March 31, 2010, interest payments on the unsecured notes payable to related parties have been deferred with the exception of $0.3 million which was related to the notes exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.  At March 31, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, $3.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of accrued interest attributable to unsecured notes payable to related parties is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments and Contingencies

 
Minimum Future Ground Rents

We have ground lease agreements for both Clifford Center and Waterfront Plaza.  The Clifford Center property ground lease expires May 31, 2035. The annual rental obligation is a combination of a base rent amount plus 3% of base rental income from tenants. On June 1, 2016 and 2026, the annual rental obligation will reset to an amount equal to 6% of the fair market value of the land. However, the ground rent cannot be less than the rent for the prior period. For the period prior to June 1, 2016, only the base rent component is included in the minimum future payments. For the periods succeeding May 31, 2016, we estimated the annual minimum future rental payments to be an amount equal to the rent paid for the immediately preceding 12-month period.

The Waterfront Plaza ground lease expires December 31, 2060. The annual rental obligation has fixed increases at 5-year intervals until it resets on January 1, 2036, 2041, 2046, 2051, and 2056 to an amount equal to 8.0% of the fair market value of the land. However, the ground lease rent cannot be less than the rent for the prior period. For the periods succeeding December 31, 2035, we estimated the annual minimum future rental payments to be an amount equal to the rent paid for the immediately preceding 12-month period.

 
Contingencies

From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance, subject to deductibles and other customary limitations on recoveries. We believe that the ultimate settlement of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations or cash flows.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Our operating properties are located in Honolulu, San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County and Phoenix. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate. No single tenant accounts for 10% or more of our total annualized base rents.  We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants for potential credit losses.

Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable and an interest rate contract. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on deposit with what management believes are relatively stable financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the maximum amount; and, to date, we have not experienced any losses on our invested cash. Restricted cash held by lenders is held by those lenders in accounts maintained at major financial institutions.

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations

We record a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation, defined as a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within a company’s control, when the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated.  Depending on the age of the construction, certain properties in our portfolio may contain non-friable asbestos. If these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished, certain environmental regulations are in place, which specify the manner in which the asbestos, if present, must be handled and disposed. Based on our evaluation of the physical condition and attributes of certain of our properties acquired in the Transactions, we recorded conditional asset retirement obligations related to asbestos removal. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for conditional asset retirement obligations was $0.3 million for both periods. The accretion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was not significant.

Clifford Center Ground Lease

We are subject to a surrender clause under the Clifford Center property ground lease that provides the lessor with the right to require us, at our own expense, to raze and remove all improvements from the leased land if we have not complied with certain other provisions of the ground lease. These provisions require us to: (1) only make significant improvements or alterations to the building under the supervision of a licensed architect and/or structural engineer with lessor’s written approval; (2) comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; and (3) comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding the handling and use of hazardous materials. The requirement to remove the improvements is contingent, first, on our failure to comply with the terms of the lease and, second, upon the cost of compliance with the lease exceeding the estimated value of the improvements. To our knowledge, we are in substantial compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all work is supervised by licensed professionals, and we are not aware of any violations of laws regarding the handling or use of hazardous materials at the Clifford Center property. If we fail to satisfy any of these requirements in the future, the obligation is subject to the lessor’s decision to require the improvements to be removed. We intend to satisfy the requirements of the agreement.

Waterfront Plaza Ground Lease

We are subject to a surrender clause under the Waterfront Plaza ground lease that provides the lessor with the right to require us, at our own expense, to raze and remove all improvements from the leased land, contingent on the lessor’s decision at the time the ground lease expires on December 31, 2060. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for this asset retirement obligation was $0.3 million for both periods. The accretion expense was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Environmental Matters

We follow the policy of monitoring our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow. Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability other than our conditional asset retirement obligations that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

Purchase Commitments

We are required by certain leases and loan agreements to complete tenant and building improvements. As of March 31, 2010, this amount is projected to be $12.9 million, of which $1.8 million will be funded through reserves currently classified as restricted cash.  We anticipate that our reserves, as well as other sources of liquidity, including existing cash on hand, our cash flows from operations, financing and investing activities will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures.

Tax Protection Arrangements

A sale of any of the Contributed Properties that would not provide continued tax deferral to Venture is prohibited under the Master Agreement and the contribution agreements for such properties for ten years after the Effective Date.  In addition, we have agreed that, during such ten-year period, we will not prepay or defease any mortgage indebtedness of such properties, other than in connection with a concurrent refinancing with non-recourse mortgage debt of an equal or greater amount and subject to certain other restrictions.  Furthermore, if any such sale or defeasance is foreseeable, we are required to notify Venture and to cooperate with it in considering strategies to defer or mitigate the recognition of gain under the Code by any of the equity interest holders of the recipient of the Operating Partnership units.

Stockholders’ Equity

Our common stock listed on NYSE Amex (the “Listed Common Stock”) and Class B Common Stock are identical in all respects, except that in the event of liquidation the Class B Common Stock will not be entitled to any portion of our net assets, which will be allocated and distributed to the holders of the common stock. Shares of our Listed Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class and each share is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon by our stockholders. Dividends on the Listed Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are payable at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

On January 12, 2010, we commenced a registered continuous public offering of up to 40,000,000 shares of our Senior Common Stock, which ranks senior to our Listed Common Stock and Class B Common Stock with respect to dividends and distribution of amounts upon liquidation.  It has a $10.00 per share (plus accrued and unpaid dividends) liquidation preference.  Subject to the preferential rights of any future series of preferred shares, holders of Senior Common Stock will be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, cumulative cash dividends in an amount per share equal to a minimum of $0.725 per share per annum, payable monthly.  Should the dividend payable on the Listed Common Stock exceed its current rate of $0.20 per share per annum, the Senior Common Stock dividend would increase by 25% of the amount by which the Listed Common Stock dividend exceeds $0.20 per share per annum.  Holders of Senior Common Stock have the right to vote on all matters presented to stockholders as a single class with holders of the Listed Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock and the Company’s outstanding share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock (as discussed below).  Each share of the Company’s common stock (including the Listed Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock and the Senior Common Stock) is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon by the Company’s stockholders.   Shares of Senior Common Stock may be exchanged, at the option of the holder, for shares of Listed Common Stock after the fifth anniversary of the issuance of such shares of Senior Common Stock.
 
Our Advisor has determined that the aggregate fair market value of our equity classes junior to the Senior Common Stock (calculated as described in the prospectus for the offering of Senior Common Stock) exceeds $100 million, and accordingly, that the estimated fair market value of the Senior Common Stock is its liquidation preference of $10.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests include the interests in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Company, which amounted to 78.78% of the Common Units and all of the Preferred Units outstanding as of March 31, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, no Common Units or Preferred Units were redeemed or issued. As of March 31, 2010, 46,896,795 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon redemption of outstanding Common Units and Preferred Units.

The partnership interests of the Operating Partnership are divided into (i) the general partnership interest and (ii) the limited partnership interests, consisting of Common Units and Preferred Units. The general partnership interest may be expressed as a number of Common Units, Preferred Units or any other Operating Partnership unit. The general partnership interest is denominated as a number of Common Units equal to the number of shares of common stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding.

Upon initial issuance in March 2008, each Preferred Unit was convertible into 7.1717 Common Units, but no earlier than the later of (i) March 19, 2010, and (ii) the date we consummate an underwritten public offering (of at least $75 million) of our common stock. Upon conversion of the Preferred Units to Common Units, the Common Units were redeemable by the holders on a one-for-one basis for shares of our common stock or cash, as elected by the Company, but no earlier than one year after the date of their conversion from Preferred Units to Common Units. The Preferred Units have fixed rights to annual distributions at an annual rate of 2% of their liquidation preference of $25 per Preferred Unit and priority over Common Units in the event of a liquidation of the Operating Partnership. At March 31, 2010, the cumulative unpaid distributions attributable to Preferred Units were $0.6 million.

On December 30, 2009, we amended certain provisions of the Partnership Agreement relating to the redemption rights of the Common Units and Preferred Units.  The Common Units issued on the Effective Date were reclassified as Class B Common Units, which are redeemable by the holder on a one-for-one basis for shares of common stock or a new class of C Common Units, which have no redemption rights, as elected by a majority of our independent directors.  All other outstanding Common Units were reclassified as Class A Common Units, which are redeemable by the holders on a one-for-one basis for shares of common stock or cash, as elected by a majority of our independent directors.  If converted, the Preferred Units will convert into Class B Common Units.  Furthermore, the Preferred Unit put option was modified by eliminating the various alternative currencies possible upon exercise of the put and permitting only the issuance of new preferred units in settlement of an exercised put.  The modification of the terms of the Preferred Units was more than inconsequential and therefore triggered a revaluation of the Preferred Units to their fair value on the modification date.  As a result of the amendments to the Partnership Agreement, the Non-Controlling Interests attributable to the Common Units and Preferred Units were reclassified from mezzanine equity to permanent equity on the consolidated balance sheet.  Simultaneously, the excess of market value over carrying value for the Preferred Units was booked as a Fair value adjustment of Preferred Units on the consolidated statement of operations.

Common Units of all classes and Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership do not have any right to vote on any matters presented to our stockholders. As part of the Transactions, we issued to the Advisor one share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock (the “Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock”), which entitles the Advisor to vote on all matters on which the common stockholders are entitled to vote.  The number of votes that the Advisor is entitled to cast equals the total number of common shares issuable upon redemption for shares of the Common Units and Preferred Units issued in connection with the Transactions.  This number will decrease to the extent that these Operating Partnership units are redeemed for common shares in the future. The number will not increase in the event of future unit issuances by the Operating Partnership.  The Advisor has agreed to vote the Proportional Voting Preferred Stock as directed by Venture, the holder of these Operating Partnership units. As of March 31, 2010, that share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock represented 92.3% of our voting power.  The Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock has no dividend rights and minimal rights to distributions in the event of liquidation.  The Company has the option to redeem the Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock at the Company’s election if the Advisory Agreement is terminated and the Company becomes self-advised.

As of March 31, 2010, Venture owned 46,173,693 shares of our common stock assuming that all Operating Partnership units were fully redeemed for shares on such date, notwithstanding the restrictions on redemption noted above.  Assuming the immediate redemption of all the Operating Partnership units held by Venture, Venture and its related parties control approximately 93.8% and 95.9% of the total economic interest and voting power, respectively, in the Company.

 
Loss per Share

We present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the number of common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during each period. Net income or loss in the Operating Partnership is allocated in accordance with the Partnership Agreement among our general partner and limited partner Common Unit holders in accordance with their ownership percentages in the Operating Partnership of 21.22% and 78.78%, respectively, after taking into consideration the priority distributions allocated to the limited partner preferred unit holders in the Operating Partnership.

______________
Notes:

(1)
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, net loss attributable to common stockholders includes $0.6 million of priority allocation to preferred unit holders each, respectively, which is included in non-controlling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(2)
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, the potentially dilutive effect of 52,630 and 24,240 restricted stock units, respectively, were not included in the net loss per share calculation as their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no securities outstanding at March 31, 2010 or March 31, 2009 which would, upon conversion, result in dilution of EPS.

Dividends and Distributions

On March 11, 2010, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share of our common stock for the first quarter of 2010. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2010 to holders of record of common stock on March 31, 2010. Commensurate with our declaration of a quarterly cash dividend, we paid distributions to holders of record of Common Units at March 31, 2010 in the amount of $0.05 per Common Unit, on April 15, 2010. In addition, we paid 2% distributions, or $.125 per unit, to holders of record of Preferred Units at March 31, 2010, on April 15, 2010.

Dividends declared are included in retained deficit in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Distributions on Common and Preferred Units are included in non-controlling interests in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Related Party Transactions

We are externally advised by our Advisor, an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Shidler and by its directors and officers, certain of whom are also our executive officers and who own substantial beneficial interests in our Company. Pursuant to our Advisory Agreement, our Advisor is entitled to an annual corporate management fee of one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the gross cost basis of our total property portfolio (less accumulated depreciation and amortization), but in no event less than $1.5 million per annum.  Although we are responsible for all direct expenses incurred by us for certain services for which we are the primary service obligee, our Advisor bears the cost and is not reimbursed by us for any expenses incurred by it in the course of performing operational advisory services for us, which expenses include, but are not limited to, salaries and wages, office rent, equipment costs, travel costs, insurance costs, telecommunications and supplies.  The corporate management fee is subject to reduction of up to $750,000 based upon the amounts of the direct costs that we bear. Additionally, our Advisor and its affiliates are entitled to receive property management fees of 2.5% to 4.5% of the rental cash receipts collected by the properties, leasing fees consistent with the prevailing market as well as property transaction fees in an amount equal to 1% of the contract price of any acquired or disposed property; however, such property management fees, leasing fees, and property transaction fees must be consistent with prevailing market rates for similar services provided on an arms-length basis in the area in which the subject property is located.

The Advisor is also entitled to certain fees related to any placement of debt or equity that we may undertake, including (i) 0.50% of the total amount of co-investment equity capital procured, (ii) 0.50% of the total gross offering proceeds including, but not limited to, the issuance or placement of equity securities and the issuance of Operating Partnership units, and (iii) 0.50% of the principal amount of any new indebtedness related to properties that we wholly own, and on properties owned in a joint venture with co-investment partners or entity-level financings, as well as on amounts available on our credit facilities and on the principal amount of indebtedness we may issue.

The Advisory Agreement terminates on March 19, 2018. Prior to that date, however, we retain the right to terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 30 days prior written notice at any time for any reason. In the event we decide to terminate the Advisory Agreement in order to internalize management and become self-managed, we would be obligated to pay the Advisor an internalization fee equal to $1.0 million, plus certain accrued and unreimbursed expenses. Further, the Advisor retains the right to terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 30 days prior written notice in the event we default in the performance or observance of any material provision of the Advisory Agreement.

We lease commercial office space to affiliated entities. The rents from these leases totaled $0.2 million each for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Related Party Financing Transactions

On August 19, 2009, we entered into an interim financing agreement with Shidler LP.  Upon execution, Shidler LP provided us with a principal sum of $3.0 million, bearing interest of 7.0% per annum.  The maturity date of the note was ninety days following the date of the promissory note.  We repaid the $3.0 million note on September 22, 2009, which included an insignificant amount of interest.

On September 2, 2009, as security for the FHB Credit Facility, Shidler LP pledged to the Lender (the “Shidler LP Pledge”) a certificate of deposit in the principal amount of $10 million (the “Certificate of Deposit”).  As a condition to the Shidler LP Pledge, our Operating Partnership and Shidler LP entered into an Indemnification Agreement, effective as of September 2, 2009 (the “Indemnification Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to indemnify Shidler LP from any losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Shidler LP in connection with the Shidler LP Pledge.  In addition, to the extent that all or any portion of the Certificate of Deposit is withdrawn by the Lender and applied to the payment of principal, interest and/or charges under the FHB Credit Facility, we agreed to pay to Shidler LP interest on the withdrawn amount at a rate of 7.0% per annum from the date of the withdrawal until the date of repayment in full to Shidler LP.  Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, we also agreed to pay to Shidler LP an annual fee of 2.0% of the entire $10.0 million principal amount of the Certificate of Deposit.  As of December 30, 2009, the amount of the security was increased to $15.0 million.  As of March 31, 2010, we have $0.05 million of accrued interest attributable to the Shidler LP Pledge included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  See Note 8 for more discussion on the FHB Credit Facility.

Share-Based Payments

On May 21, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2008 Directors’ Stock Plan, as amended and restated (the “2008 Directors’ Plan”), subject to stockholder approval. The Company reserved 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2008 Directors’ Plan for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and performance awards. The 2008 Directors’ Plan was approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting of stockholders on May 12, 2009.

On May 21, 2008, the Company issued restricted stock awards representing 24,240 shares under the 2008 Directors’ Plan, which awards vested on the date of the Company’s 2009 annual meeting. The grant date fair value of each restricted stock unit was $6.60, which was the closing stock price on May 21, 2008. On June 19, 2009, the Company issued a restricted stock award representing 6,060 shares under the 2008 Directors’ Plan, which vested immediately upon issuance. The grant date fair value of each restricted stock unit was $3.80, which was the closing stock price on June 19, 2009. Accordingly, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million of compensation expense attributable to the 2008 Directors’ Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, all of our share-based payments to directors in 2008 are vested.

On June 19, 2009, the Company issued restricted stock units representing 52,630 shares under the 2008 Directors’ Plan, which awards vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.  The grant date fair value of each restricted stock unit was $3.80, which was the Company’s closing stock price on June 19, 2009.

Segment Reporting

We are primarily focused on acquiring, owning and operating office properties in selected submarkets of long term growth markets in Honolulu and the western United States, including southern California and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. We are aggregating our operations by geographic region into two reportable segments (Honolulu and the Western United States mainland) based on the similar economic characteristics of the properties located in each of these regions. The products at all our properties include primarily rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental.  We also have certain corporate level income and expenses related to our credit facility and legal, accounting, finance and management activities, which are not considered separate operating segments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We are required to disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. We measure and disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows: 1) using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, 2) “significant other observable inputs” and 3) “significant unobservable inputs.” “Significant other observable inputs” can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. “Significant unobservable inputs” are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, since there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The fair market value of debt is determined using the trading price of public debt or a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile, including the Company’s non-performance risk. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. We calculate the fair value of our mortgage and other loans, and unsecured notes payable by using “significant other observable inputs” such as available market information and discounted cash flows analyses based on borrowing rates we believe we could obtain with similar terms and maturities. Because the valuations of our financial instruments are based on these types of estimates, the actual fair value of our financial instruments may differ materially if our estimates do not prove to be accurate. Additionally, the use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.  The carrying value of the FHB Credit Facility approximates its fair value.

At March 31, 2010, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the mortgage and other loans were $409.5 million and $382.5 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2009, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the mortgage and other loans were $406.4 million and $376.8 million, respectively.  At March 31, 2010, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the unsecured notes payable to related parties were $21.1 million and $23.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the unsecured notes payable to related parties were $21.1 million and $23.1 million, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Our disclosure and analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, risks and uncertainties. From time to time, we also provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public as well as oral forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts as to our business, financial and operational results and future economic performance; statements regarding strategic transactions such as mergers or acquisitions or a possible dissolution of the Company; and statements of management’s goals and objectives and other similar expressions. Such statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events; they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as “believe”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “objective”, “seek”, “strive” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties inherent in such statements may cause actual future events or results to differ materially and adversely from those described in the forward-looking statements.

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and potentially inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could differ materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. These factors include the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. You should bear this in mind as you consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation and have elected to be treated as a REIT under the Code. Our common stock is currently listed and publicly traded on the NYSE Amex under the symbol “PCE”. We are primarily focused on owning and operating office properties in the western United States, concentrating initially on the long-term growth submarkets of Honolulu, southern California, and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. For a detailed discussion of our segment operations, please see Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Through our Operating Partnership, we own whole interests in eight fee simple and leasehold office properties (comprising 11 office buildings) and interests in seven joint ventures (including managing ownership interests in six of those seven) holding 16 office properties (comprising 34 office buildings). Our Property Portfolio is approximately 4.7 million rentable square feet.  Our unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

We are externally advised by Pacific Office Management, Inc., referred to as our Advisor, an entity owned and controlled by Jay H. Shidler, our Chairman of the Board, and certain related parties of The Shidler Group, which is a business name utilized by a number of affiliates controlled by Jay H. Shidler, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.  The Advisor is responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the Company.

We operate in a manner that permits us to satisfy the requirements for taxation as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on our taxable income that is distributed to our stockholders and are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains).

We maintain a website at www.pacificofficeproperties.com. Information on this website shall not constitute part of this Form 10-Q. Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to such reports are available without charge on our website.

(1)
Represents annualized monthly contractual rent under existing leases as of March 31, 2010. This amount reflects total rent before abatements and includes expense reimbursements, some of which are estimated. Annualized rent for the unconsolidated joint venture properties are reported with respect to each property in its entirety, rather than the portion of the property represented by our ownership interest.
 
(2)
Existing net rents are converted to gross rents by adding estimated annualized operating expense reimbursements to base rents.
 

Our corporate strategy is to continue to own high-quality office buildings concentrated in our target markets. Historically, the Property Portfolio has been leased to tenants on both a full service gross and net lease basis. A full service gross lease has a base year expense stop, whereby the tenant pays a stated amount of expenses as part of the rent payment, while future increases (above the base year stop) in property operating expenses are billed to the tenant based on the tenant’s proportionate square footage in the property. The increased property operating expenses billed are reflected in operating expense and amounts recovered from tenants are reflected as tenant recoveries in the statements of operations. In a net lease, the tenant is responsible for all property taxes, insurance, and operating expenses. As such, the base rent payment does not include operating expenses, but rather all such expenses are billed to the tenant. The full amount of the expenses for this lease type is reflected in operating expenses, and the reimbursement is reflected in tenant recoveries. We expect to emphasize net leases in the future, although we expect some leases will remain gross leased in the future due to tenant expectations and market customs.

 
Critical Accounting Policies

This discussion and analysis of the historical financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and assumptions. These estimates have been evaluated on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that management believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. In addition, other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may impact the comparability of the results of operations and financial conditions to those of other companies.

In addition, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  We have not made any material changes to those policies during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 
Results of Operations

Overview

As of March 31, 2010, the Property Portfolio was 84.4% leased to a total of 1,042 tenants. Approximately 9.3 % of our Property Portfolio leased square footage expires during 2010 and another 11.6% of our Property Portfolio leased square footage expires during 2011. We receive income primarily from rental revenue (including tenant reimbursements) from our office properties and, to a lesser extent, from our parking revenues. Our office properties are typically leased to tenants with good credit for terms ranging from 2 to 20 years.

As of March 31, 2010, our consolidated Honolulu portfolio was 90.4% leased, with approximately 140,000 square feet available. Our Honolulu portfolio attributable to our unconsolidated joint ventures was 85.6% leased, with approximately 21,900 square feet available.

As of March 31, 2010, our consolidated Phoenix portfolio was 71.3% leased, with approximately 211,900 square feet available. Our Phoenix portfolio attributable to our unconsolidated joint ventures was 72.1% leased, with approximately 165,200 square feet available.

As of March 31, 2010, our consolidated San Diego portfolio, which consists of our Sorrento Technology Center property, was 100% leased. Our San Diego portfolio attributable to our unconsolidated joint ventures was 86.2% leased, with approximately 136,800 square feet available.

Rental Revenue. Rental revenue decreased by $0.5 million, or 4.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to decreased average occupancy at our Waterfront and Pan Am buildings, which resulted in a decrease of $0.3 million in rental revenue.  In addition, revenue decreased by $0.2 million in the current year for a sizable tenant in our City Square property due to a lease modification that occurred in April 2009.

Tenant Reimbursements. Tenant reimbursements decreased by $0.3 million, or 5.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. A decrease of $0.2 million is due to a decline in direct bill utility costs in Hawaii and a corresponding decrease in tenant reimbursements in the current year.  In addition, higher than anticipated electricity costs in Hawaii during late 2008 caused a spike of $0.1 million in utility reimbursement revenue that was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2009, which did not recur in the current year.

 
Expenses

Rental Property Operating Expenses. Rental property operating expenses decreased by $0.3 million, or 3.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower bad debt reserves required for our Hawaii properties ($0.5 million) in the 2010 period due to various leases we renegotiated during 2009 that had been previously reserved.  In addition, we realized lower utility costs of $0.1 million at our City Square property due to the implementation of a new energy management system in late 2009.  We also realized savings portfolio-wide due to operating efficiencies of $0.1 million.  The decrease was partially offset by higher electricity costs in Hawaii, which increased $0.3 million due to higher oil prices in 2010.   In addition, a general excise tax refund of $0.1 million was received during the three months ended March 31, 2009 that was not received in the current year.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense decreased by $0.5 million, or 47.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in audit fees.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.8 million, or 11.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. A decrease in expense of $1.0 million was primarily attributable to the expiration of useful lives of intangible assets acquired during the Transactions offset by increased depreciation expense of $0.3 million due to real estate asset additions.  We expect amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired during the Transactions to continue to decrease as their useful lives expire.

Interest Expense. Interest expense remained relatively constant for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased by $0.04 million, or 79.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the addition of the Seaview joint venture in December 2009, of which our share of its loss was $0.04 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 
Cash Balances, Available Borrowings and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2010, we had $3.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $2.4 million as of December 31, 2009. In addition, we had restricted cash balances of $6.9 million as of March 31, 2010 as compared to $7.3 million as of December 31, 2009. Restricted cash primarily consists of interest bearing cash deposits required by certain of our mortgage loans to fund anticipated expenditures for real estate taxes, insurance, debt service and leasing costs. In addition, as of March 31, 2010, we had approximately $3.0 million available under our credit facility for borrowings.

We have $66.4 million in aggregate principal indebtedness maturing in 2010.  On April 6, 2010, a non-recourse loan in the amount of $11.6 million secured by our Pacific Business News building matured.  On April 7, 2010, we received a notice of default from the lender of this loan asserting our failure to pay all amounts when due thereunder.  We continue to seek a loan workout agreement with the lender, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful.  We are also pursuing possible refinancing alternatives.  We have initiated discussions with the servicers for each of the other non-recourse loans maturing this year regarding an agreement to extend the maturity date of the loans and to make certain other modifications to the terms of the loans.  If we are unable to extend the maturity date of any of the other loans, we may attempt to refinance the indebtedness or utilize a combination of cash on hand, available borrowings under our credit facility and any available proceeds from our continuous offering of Senior Common Stock to repay the loan.  If we are unable to repay any loan at maturity, we may not be able to retain our equity in the properties in question.

We expect to meet our long-term liquidity and capital requirements such as scheduled principal maturities, property acquisitions costs, if any, and other non-recurring capital expenditures through net cash provided by operations, existing cash on hand, refinancing of existing indebtedness, any available proceeds from our continuous offering of Senior Common Stock and through other available investment and financing activities, including the assumption of mortgage indebtedness upon acquisition or the procurement of new acquisition mortgage indebtedness.  We may plan for our future financing activities to include selling a portion of the equity in the properties in which we currently hold whole interests.

Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc.
 

We expect that for a certain percentage of our future acquisitions, we will fund only 10% to 20% of the required equity for new office properties. The balance of the equity investment is expected to be funded, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, by one or more co-investors. We have pre-existing relationships with a number of potential co-investors that we believe will provide ample opportunities to fund anticipated acquisitions. Our business strategy provides us with the opportunity to earn greater returns on invested equity through incentive participation and management fees.

As of March 31, 2010, our total consolidated debt was approximately $430.6 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.76% and a weighted average remaining term of 5.17 years.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.8 million compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease of $2.4 million for the Company was primarily attributable to approximately $1.5 million of escrow deposits returned in the prior year, which did not recur in the current year.  In addition, our prepaid expenses increased by $0.2 million in the current year compared to the prior year.  We also used our credit facility proceeds to decrease more of our outstanding payables balance than in the prior year ($0.2 million).

Net cash used in investing activities for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.3 million compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  We increased our payment of leasing commissions and capital improvements related to real estate by $1.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase is partially offset by a smaller increase in our restricted cash used for capital expenditures, which only increased $0.1 million in the current year compared to $0.4 million in the prior year.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $1.8 million in net cash used by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Our cash provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to a $3.1 million draw on our revolving credit facility during the current year, which did not occur in the prior year. The proceeds received from the draw are slightly offset by a $0.2 million increase in costs related to our ongoing Senior Common Stock offering and a $0.1 million increase in security deposits repaid to tenants.

(1)
Loan has matured and we have not repaid the principal balance.  We are currently in negotiations with the lender.  For additional information, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.
(2)
Loan may not be prepaid until June 1, 2010.  Loan may be defeased at any time.  We are currently in discussions with the servicer for this loan regarding an agreement to extend the maturity date of the loan and to make certain other modifications to the terms of the loan.
(3)
Maximum loan amount to be advanced is $28.5 million.  In addition, the Company has an interest rate cap on this loan for the notional amount of $28.5 million, which effectively limits the LIBOR rate on this loan to 7.45%.  The interest rate cap expires on September 1, 2010, commensurate with the maturity date of this note payable.  We are currently in discussions with the servicer for this loan regarding an agreement to extend the maturity date of the loan and to make certain other modifications to the terms of the loan.
(4)
Loan may be prepaid subject to payment of a fee in amount of $142.
(5)           Requires monthly principal and interest payments of $39.8. The initial maturity date is August 15, 2011.  We have the option to extend the maturity date to August, 15, 2014 for a nominal fee.
(6)           Loan is prepayable, subject to prepayment premium equal to greater of 2% of amount prepaid or yield maintenance.
(7)           Loan is prepayable subject to a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of 3% of outstanding principal amount or yield maintenance.  No premium due after October 1, 2015.  Loan may also be defeased after earlier of December 2008 or two years after the “start-up date” of the loan, if   securitized.
(8)
Loan is not prepayable until October 6, 2015; however, loan may be defeased after earlier of August 2009 and two years after the “start-up date” of the loan, if securitized.  No premium is due upon prepayment.
(9)           Requires monthly principal and interest payments in the amount of $69.
(10)
Although the maturity date is January 11, 2036, January 11, 2016 is the anticipated repayment date because the interest rate adjusts as of January 11, 2016 to greater of 7.75% or treasury rate plus 70 basis points, plus 2.0%.
(11)
No prepayment is permitted prior to October 11, 2015.  Loan may be defeased after the earlier of December 15, 2009 or second anniversary of the “start-up date” of the loan, if securitized.
(12)
Loan may be prepaid following second anniversary of its securitization subject to a prepayment premium equal to greater of 1% of principal balance of loan or yield maintenance.  No premium is due after May 11, 2016.
(13)
Loan may be prepaid subject to payment of a yield maintenance-based prepayment premium; no premium is due after June 11, 2016.  Loan may also be defeased after the date that is two years from the “start-up date” of the loan, if securitized.
(14)
Loan may be prepaid subject to payment of a yield maintenance-based prepayment premium; no premium is due after June 11, 2016.
(15)         Loan is prepayable, after second anniversary of its securitization, subject to prepayment premium equal to greater of (a) 1% of amount prepaid or (b) yield maintenance.  No premium due after August 11, 2016.
 (16)
The revolving line of credit matures on September 2, 2011.  See “Revolving Line of Credit” below.
 
 
Our variable rate debt, as reflected in the above schedule and in Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, bears interest at a rate based on 30-day LIBOR, which was 0.25% as March 31, 2010, plus a spread. Our variable rate debt at March 31, 2010 has an initial term that matures in September 2010.  As noted above, we are currently in discussions with the servicer for this debt regarding an agreement to extend the maturity date of the loan and to make certain other modifications to the terms of the loan.

The debt secured by our properties is owed at the property level rather than by the Company or the Operating Partnership. This debt is non-recourse to the Operating Partnership except for customary recourse carve-outs for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities and one fully recourse mortgage loan for the Contributed Property known as Clifford Center.  The recourse liability for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities was guaranteed by Mr. Shidler and James C. Reynolds, a director and stockholder of our Advisor, and entities wholly-owned or controlled by them, and the Operating Partnership has indemnified them to the extent of their guaranty liability.  This debt strategy isolates mortgage liabilities in separate, stand-alone entities, allowing us to have only our property-specific equity investment at risk.

 
36 

 
Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc.
 

As of March 31, 2010, our ratio of total consolidated debt to total consolidated market capitalization was approximately 66.9%. Our total consolidated market capitalization of $643.2 million includes our total consolidated debt of $430.6 million and the market value of our common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding of $212.6 million (based on the closing price of our common stock of $4.19 per share on the NYSE Amex on March 31, 2010).

At March 31, 2010, the Operating Partnership was subject to a $0.6 million recourse commitment that it provided on behalf of POP San Diego I joint venture in connection with certain of that joint venture’s mortgage loans. The contractual provisions of these mortgage loans provide for the full release of this recourse commitment upon the satisfaction of certain conditions within our control. We believe that the subject conditions will be satisfied by management prior to, or during, the second quarter ending June 30, 2010, and will therefore result in the immediate and full release of the Operating Partnership from this recourse commitment.  As such, we have not recorded this as a liability because the probability for recourse is remote.

Revolving Line of Credit

On September 2, 2009, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “FHB Credit Facility”) with First Hawaiian Bank (the “Lender”).  The FHB Credit Facility initially provided us with a revolving line of credit in the principal sum of $10 million.  On December 31, 2009, we amended the FHB Credit Facility to increase the maximum principal amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit to $15 million.  Amounts borrowed under the FHB Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating annual rate equal to the effective rate of interest paid by the Lender on time certificates of deposit, plus 1.00%.  We are permitted to use the proceeds of the line of credit for working capital and general corporate purposes, consistent with our real estate operations and for such other purposes as the Lender may approve.  As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $12.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively, under the FHB Credit Facility.

The FHB Credit Facility matures on September 2, 2011.  As security for the FHB Credit Facility, as amended, Shidler Equities, L.P., a Hawaii limited partnership controlled by Mr. Shidler (“Shidler LP”), has pledged to FHB a certificate of deposit in the principal amount of $15.0 million.  As a condition to this pledge, the Operating Partnership and Shidler LP entered into an indemnification agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Shidler LP from any losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Shidler LP in connection with the pledge.  In addition, to the extent that all or any portion of the certificate of deposit is withdrawn by the Lender and applied to the payment of principal, interest and/or charges under the FHB Credit Facility, the Operating Partnership agreed to pay to Shidler LP interest on the withdrawn amount at a rate of 7.00% per annum from the date of the withdrawal until the date of repayment in full by the Operating Partnership to Shidler LP.  Pursuant to this indemnification agreement, as amended, the Operating Partnership also agreed to pay to Shidler LP an annual fee of 2.00% of the entire $15.0 million principal amount of the certificate of deposit.

The FHB Credit Facility contains various customary covenants, including covenants relating to disclosure of financial and other information to the Lender, maintenance and performance of our material contracts, our maintenance of adequate insurance, payment of the Lender’s fees and expenses, and other customary terms and conditions.

Subordinated Promissory Notes

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had promissory notes payable by the Operating Partnership to certain affiliates in the aggregate principal amount of $21.1 million, respectively, which were originally issued upon the exercise of an option granted to us by Venture and its affiliates as part of the Transactions. The promissory notes accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum, with interest payable quarterly, subject to the Operating Partnership’s right to defer the payment of interest for any or all periods up until the date of maturity. The promissory notes mature on various dates commencing on March 19, 2013 through August 31, 2013, but the Operating Partnership may elect to extend maturity for one additional year. Maturity accelerates upon the occurrence of a) an underwritten public offering of at least $75 million of our common stock; b) the sale of substantially all the assets of the Company; or c) the merger of the Company with another entity. The promissory notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership.

Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc.
 

On September 23, 2009, the Operating Partnership entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain of our affiliates (collectively, the “Transferors”).  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, on September 25, 2009, certain unsecured subordinated promissory notes, in the aggregate outstanding amount (including principal and accrued interest) of approximately $3.0 million, issued by the Operating Partnership to the Transferors were exchanged for 789,095 shares of our common stock.  The price per share of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was $3.82, which represented the volume-weighted average closing market price per share of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE Amex for the thirty trading days preceding the date of the Exchange Agreement.

For the period from March 20, 2008 through March 31, 2010, interest payments on the unsecured notes payable to related parties have been deferred with the exception of $0.3 million which was related to the notes exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.  At March 31, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, $3.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of accrued interest attributable to unsecured notes payable to related parties is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Distributions

We have made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and related regulations, and intend to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders and UPREIT unit holders, provided that we distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income and meet certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost. Such an event could materially affect our income and our ability to pay dividends. We believe we have been organized as, and our past and present operations qualify the Company as, a REIT.

One of our primary objectives, consistent with our policy of retaining sufficient cash for reserves and working capital purposes and maintaining our status as a REIT, is to distribute a substantial portion of our funds available from operations to our common stockholders and UPREIT unit holders in the form of dividends or distributions on a quarterly basis. Dividends and distributions by the Company are contingent upon the Company’s receipt of distributions on the Common Units from the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is prohibited from making distributions on the Common Units unless all accumulated distributions on the Preferred Units have been paid, except to pay certain operating expenses of the Company and for the purposes of maintaining our qualification as a REIT. As of March 31, 2010, we considered market factors and our performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels.

On March 11, 2010, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share of our common stock for the first quarter of 2010. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2010 to holders of record of common stock on March 31, 2010. Commensurate with our declaration of a quarterly cash dividend, we paid distributions to holders of record of Common Units at March 31, 2010 in the amount of $0.05 per Common Unit, on April 15, 2010. In addition, we paid 2% distributions, or $.125 per unit, to holders of record of Preferred Units at March 31, 2010, on April 15, 2010.

Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders and UPREIT unit holders are invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts which are consistent with our intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT. At March 31, 2010, the cumulative unpaid distributions attributable to Preferred Units were $0.6 million, which were paid on April 15, 2010.

We expect to continue to declare and pay dividends to our stockholders.
