2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Reporting and Use of Estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paladin REIT and its wholly owned and controlled entities (collectively, the “Company”). The Company consolidates any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which it is the primary beneficiary, as defined. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts significant influence over the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Revenues are recognized as earned and expenses are recognized as incurred.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial and real estate companies continue to be affected by the lack of liquidity in financial markets, declines in real estate values and the reduction in the willingness of financial institutions to make new loans and refinance or extend existing loans on similar terms and conditions. As a result of the general economic environment, continued deteriorating conditions in the real estate industry and the capital markets, the Company re-evaluated the carrying value of its real estate assets for potential impairment and determined there was no impairment.

Noncontrolling Interests

Background

Noncontrolling interests are presented and disclosed as a separate component of equity (not as a liability or other item outside of permanent equity). Consolidated net income includes the noncontrolling interest’s share of income. The calculation of earnings per share continues to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. All changes in the parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary.

Presentation

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company’s noncontrolling interests are comprised of the ownership interests of the noncontrolling interests in joint ventures controlled by the Company through ownership or contractual arrangements. Balances attributable to these noncontrolling interests, including amounts previously included in Prepaid Insurance and Other Assets, were reclassified to become a separate component of equity as of all dates presented. Also, consolidated net income was reclassified to include the amounts attributable to the noncontrolling interests. These noncontrolling interests reported in equity are not subject to any mandatory redemption requirements or other redemption features outside of the Company’s control that would result in presentation outside of permanent equity. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, balances attributed to noncontrolling interests were also reclassified to become a separate component of equity, and the deficit balance represents the joint venture partners’ obligation to fund the operating cash deficit in the joint venture entity.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes significant estimates regarding impairments. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. There were no impairment charges taken for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Real Estate and Depreciation

Land is carried at cost. Building and improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, in-place leases, and tenant improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company allocates the purchase price of newly acquired properties between net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. The primary intangible asset associated with an apartment or office building property acquisition is the value of the existing lease agreements. When allocating the purchase price to an acquired property, the Company allocates the purchase price to the estimated value of the land, building, and fixtures assuming the property is vacant and to the estimated intangible value of the existing lease agreements. In some circumstances, the Company engages real estate appraisal firms to provide market information and evaluations that are relevant to its purchase price allocations; however, the Company is ultimately responsible for the purchase price allocation. The Company estimates the intangible value of the lease agreements by determining the lost revenue associated with a hypothetical lease-up. The Company depreciates the buildings and fixtures based on the expected useful life of the asset, which ranges from 27 to 45 years for the buildings and improvements and from 5 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, using the straight line basis. The intangible value of the lease agreements is amortized over the average remaining life of the existing leases, which ranges from 3 to 24 months, using the straight line basis. This amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Improvements and betterments are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company expenses acquisition costs for future investment property acquisitions to record the acquisition at its fair value. Prior to January 1, 2009, the Company capitalized all acquisitions costs as part of the value of the investment property as an addition to building and improvements.

The Company reviews long-lived assets and related identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, recoverability of the asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. In order to review the Company’s investment properties for recoverability, the Company considers current market conditions, as well as its intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques; including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals, where considered necessary. If the Company’s analysis indicates that the carrying value of the investment property is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) is less than the Company’s carrying amount for the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based upon the asset’s fair value.

Deferred Loan Costs

Loan costs are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the related loan. The amortization is recorded as a component of interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

The Company primarily leases residential apartments to tenants under non-cancellable operating leases with terms ranging from 3 to 24 months. The Company also leases commercial space to tenants with lease terms extending to 2015. Rental income related to leases is recognized in the period earned over the lease term.

Other income consists of various tenant-related charges and is recognized as revenue in the period in which the applicable charge is incurred.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is included in prepaid insurance and other assets, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Bad debts are recorded under the specific identification method, whereby, uncollectible receivables are directly written off when identified.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes subscription proceeds that are held in escrow until investors are admitted as stockholders. Upon acceptance of stockholders, shares of stock are issued, and Paladin REIT receives the subscription proceeds. Restricted cash included $145,736 and $316,826 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, for subscription proceeds that were held in escrow. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, restricted cash also included $1,672,598 and $1,768,905, respectively, held in restricted accounts for building and tenant improvements, repairs, property taxes and insurance as required by lenders. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, restricted cash also included $550,000 held in a restricted account as collateral for a letter of credit in connection with the acquisition of 801 Fiber Optic Drive as described in Note 3.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2006, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company believes it operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its taxable income. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to stockholders, subject to certain adjustments. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year without the benefit of certain relief provisions, it will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state or local taxes on its income, property or net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. No provision has been made for federal income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company uses a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition and decrecognition of tax positions taken or to be taken in a tax return. The Company has assessed its tax positions for all open tax years as of January 1, 2007 and concluded that there were no material uncertainties to be recognized. The Company’s accounting policy with respect to interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties is to classify these amounts as provision for income taxes. The Company has not recognized any interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization costs are expensed as incurred and offering costs are charged to stockholders’ equity. These costs are subject to a 3.0% limitation of the gross proceeds from the Offerings pursuant to the Company’s Advisory Agreement with Paladin Advisors, as described in Note 6.

Expense Reimbursement

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Paladin Advisors is entitled to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred for administrative and other services provided to the Company by Paladin Advisors and its affiliates, including reimbursement of personnel costs and overhead for which they do not otherwise receive a fee. The Company will not reimburse Paladin Advisors for operating expenses that in the fiscal year then ended exceed the greater of (1) 2% of the average invested assets of Paladin REIT or (2) 25% of the net income as described below of the Company (the “2%/25% Rule”), and Paladin Advisors must reimburse Paladin REIT quarterly for any amounts by which the operating expenses of Paladin REIT exceeds the 2%/25% Rule in the previous four consecutive fiscal quarters (the “Expense Period”), unless a majority of independent directors approves reimbursement of any excess.

The average invested assets of the Company for any period are equal to the average book value of the Company’s assets invested in equity interests in, and loans secured by, real estate before reserves for depreciation or bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves computed by taking the average of such values at the end of each month during the period. The net income of the Company for any period is equal to the Company’s total revenue less total expenses other than additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves for such period. Operating expenses include all expenses incurred by the Company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (including the asset management fee), but excluding organization and offering expenses, interest payments, taxes, non-cash expenditures such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves, the subordinated disposition fee, acquisition fees and expenses and distributions pursuant to Paladin Advisors’ subordinated participation interest in Paladin OP.

Paladin Advisors must reimburse the excess expenses to the Company within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter unless the independent directors determine that the excess expenses were justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient. Within 60 days after the end of any Expense Period for which the independent directors approve total operating expenses in excess of the 2%/25% Rule, Paladin REIT will send its stockholders a written disclosure, together with an explanation of the factors the independent directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that the excess expenses were justified. However, at Paladin Advisors’ option, Paladin Advisors or its affiliate, as applicable may defer the reimbursement of expenses and elect to receive such payments, without interest, in any subsequent fiscal year that Paladin Advisors designates.

Per Share Data

The Company presents both basic and diluted loss per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS excludes potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised, where such exercise would result in a lower EPS amount. The diluted EPS would include weighted average unvested restricted shares issued to independent directors. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, all shares were fully vested.

Unaccepted Subscriptions for Common Stock

Unaccepted subscriptions for shares of our common stock include proceeds related to subscriptions that were held in escrow but had not been accepted by the Company as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, Subtopic 810 of the FASB Codification was updated to amend the guidance related to the consolidation of VIEs. It requires reporting entities to evaluate former qualifying special purpose entities (“QSPEs”) for consolidation, changes the approach to determining a VIE’s primary beneficiary from a quantitative assessment to a qualitative assessment designed to identify a controlling financial interest, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. It also clarifies, but

Table of Contents

does not significantly change, the characteristics that identify a VIE. The update to Subtopic 810-10 requires additional year-end and interim disclosures for public and nonpublic companies. The update to Subtopic 810-10 is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 for the Company), and for subsequent interim and annual reporting periods. All QSPEs and entities currently subject to Subtopic 810-10 will need to be reevaluated under the amended consolidation requirements as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2010 and the implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets. The guidance defines the term “participating interest” to establish specific conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale. If the transfer does not meet those conditions, a transferor should account for the transfer as a sale only if it transfers an entire financial asset or a group of entire financial assets and surrenders control over the entire transferred asset(s). The guidance requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. The guidance is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. We do not expect that the guidance will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 (early adoption is permitted), modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what constitutes a non-software deliverable. We do not expect that the guidance will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

The mortgage loan requires payments of interest only at a fixed interest rate of 5.498% through November 1, 2010, the anticipated repayment date. If the mortgage loan is not repaid or refinanced as of the anticipated repayment date, interest will accrue at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) 8.498% and (b) the treasury rate plus three percentage points. Pursuant to the terms of a cash management agreement, the borrower was required to post a $550,000 letter of credit by December 1, 2007, or the lender would sweep and retain all cash flow from 801 Fiber Optic Drive. On November 29, 2007, Paladin OP posted a $550,000 irrevocable standby letter of credit with Wachovia Bank, N.A. secured by $550,000 cash deposited in a certificate of deposit with Wachovia Bank, N.A. If the borrower does not pay off the loan on November 1, 2010, the lender can apply the letter of credit (or retained cash flow) and will continue to sweep all cash flow to repay the loan. In the event of a default under the loan documents, the cash management agreement further provides that the lender may sweep cash from all accounts maintained by the borrower with the lender (including rent accounts from the property). The estimated principal balance to be due at the anticipated repayment date is $1,950,000.

The mortgage loan could not be prepaid until January 31, 2008 and, as of March 31, 2010, it has not been prepaid. There was no sale, encumbrance, or other transfer of an interest in the property permitted without the lender’s prior written consent. Alex Gilbert, the managing member of 801 FO, LLC, has guaranteed the non-recourse standard loan carve outs, and in exchange for his guarantee, our sponsor, Paladin Realty Partners, LLC (“Paladin Realty”), has agreed to fully indemnify Mr. Gilbert against any defaults caused by the borrower through standard default provisions such as bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of proceeds and certain environmental violations. The loan agreement obligation is secured by a mortgage on the property and an assignment of rents and personal property. In addition PRIP 801, LLC, has entered into an environmental and hazardous substance indemnification agreement.

The agreements contain various covenants, which among other things, limit the ability of the borrowers to incur indebtedness, engage in certain business activities, enter into material leases on the property and transfer their

Table of Contents

interests in the property among others. The loan agreements also contain customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults to certain other agreements with respect to the property and bankruptcy-related defaults. In the event of a default, the loan may be accelerated and all amounts due under the loan will become immediately due and payable.

Paladin REIT’s charter provides that its independent directors must approve any borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of its net assets and the justification for such excess borrowing must be disclosed to its stockholders in its next quarterly report. Net assets for purposes of this calculation are defined to be Paladin REIT’s total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. The preceding calculation is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of Paladin REIT’s assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. As of March 31, 2010, Paladin REIT’s borrowings did not exceed 300% of the value of its net assets.

5. Related Party Transactions

In connection with the Follow-On Offering, Paladin REIT entered into a dealer manager agreement dated February 6, 2008 (the “Follow-On Dealer Manager Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Follow-On Dealer Manager Agreement, Paladin REIT pays Paladin Securities selling commissions of 6.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of Paladin REIT’s common stock in its primary offering and Paladin REIT does not pay any commission from the sale of shares of its common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. Paladin REIT also pays Paladin Securities a dealer manager fee of up to 3.5% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of Paladin REIT’s common stock in its primary offering. Paladin Securities may pay all or a portion of these selling commissions and dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers.

(1) Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company will not reimburse Paladin Advisors for operating expenses that in the fiscal year then ended exceed the 2%/25% Rule, except as permitted by the 2%/25% Rule, as described in Note 2. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred $277,437 of general and administrative expenses, which is the equivalent of operating expenses under the Advisory Agreement. Due to the application of the 2%/25% Rule, the Company was able to recognize a total of $283,189 of general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statement of operations with the additional amount of $5,752, which was incurred in the current year and in previous years, recorded as due to affiliate. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company paid $95,220 in asset management fees due to Paladin Advisors for its twelve properties during the three months ended March 31, 2010. For each of these twelve properties from the respective dates of acquisition through the period that the Company owns the properties, Paladin Advisors has elected to receive a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.3% of the Company’s allocable cost of the real property acquired. Paladin Advisors acknowledges that it has waived its right to receive any additional amounts due under the Advisory Agreement for such properties. The board of directors (including the independent directors) has approved reimbursing Paladin Advisors for this amount in the future to the extent that reimbursement of this amount, together with all operating expenses paid or reimbursed for the then-current Expense Period, would not result in payment or reimbursement of operating expenses in excess of the 2%/25% Rule in that period. In making this determination, the board of directors (including the independent directors) noted that these were operating expenses necessary for the operation of the Company’s business, as the Company is in the early stages of operations and has limited operations to cover its operating expenses and because such amounts will only be reimbursed in the future to the extent described above.
(2)

Organization and offering costs of the Company are paid by Paladin Advisors or its affiliates, including Paladin Realty, on behalf of the Company and directly by the Company. Organization and offering costs consist of actual marketing, legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including amounts to reimburse Paladin Advisors, its affiliates or its dealer manager, for all marketing related costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, expenses relating to registering and marketing the shares and other marketing and organization costs, technology costs and expenses attributable to the Offerings, and payment or reimbursement of bona fide due diligence expenses of the dealer manager and broker-dealers participating in the Offerings. Pursuant to the

Table of Contents
  Advisory Agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse Paladin Advisors or its affiliates for amounts advanced for organization and offering costs, provided that Paladin Advisors and its affiliates are responsible for the payment of organization and offering costs to the extent they exceed 3.0% of gross proceeds from the Offerings and will be required to return to the Company any amount the Company reimburses them in excess of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offerings. Such costs only become a liability of the Company to the extent they do not exceed 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offerings. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company paid $56,783 of offering costs. Due to the application of the 3.0% limitation, the Company was able to recognize $61,597, which was charged to stockholders’ equity with the additional amount of $4,814 recorded as due to affiliate. Paladin Advisors is required to reimburse the current balance of $301,410 within 60 days after the end of the Follow-On Offering.
(3) Not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 as these amounts have exceeded the 3.0% limitation as described above in Note 2 and only become due to affiliates when they do not exceed such limitation.

Table of Contents

We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2006, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We believe we operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to our stockholders equal at least the amount of our taxable income. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. We may also be subject to certain state or local taxes.

Critical Accounting Policies

A comprehensive enumeration of our significant accounting policies is presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2010.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

Rental income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $4,484,800, compared to $3,292,867 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Our rental income has increased due to our investments in Lofton Place Apartments in October 2009 and Beechwood Gardens Apartments in December 2009 and a full year of operations of Retreat Apartments, Hilltop Apartments, Conifer Crossing and Two and Five Governor Park in which we invested in 2008. We expect rental income to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of our investments in real properties made in 2009 and future real property investments and real estate related investments.

Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $431,197, compared to $280,155 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Other income consists of various tenant-related charges and is recognized as revenue in the period in which the applicable charge is incurred. The increase in other income for quarter ended March 31, 2010 is attributable to our investments in 2008 and 2009.

Property operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $1,912,405, compared to $1,585,451 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increase in property operating expenses is attributable to our investments in 2008 and 2009. We expect property operating expenses to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of our investments in real properties acquired in 2009 and future real property investments and real estate related investments.

Real estate taxes were $418,766 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to $298,385 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increase in real estate taxes in 2009 is a result of our investments in 2008 and 2009.

General and administrative expenses were $283,189 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $671,192 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in general and administrative expenses relates to the fact that in accordance with the 2%/25% rule all of the general and administrative expenses paid by the Advisor on behalf of the Company have been fully accrued by the Company.

Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, was $1,858,091 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $1,524,491 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increase in interest expense was primarily related to mortgage notes payable and indebtedness incurred in connection with our investments in 2008 and 2009 and certain financing costs that we incurred in connection with such indebtedness.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $1,308,294 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and $851,830 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense in 2009 is a result of our investments in 2008 and 2009.

Loss allocated to noncontrolling interests was $295,313 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to $375,524 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The change was due mainly to our investments in 2008 and 2009 and to the allocation of losses of each project.

Table of Contents

Net loss attributable to the Company was $547,184 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to net loss attributable to the Company of $954,316 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to the net impact of the items discussed above.

Inflation

Because of our brief operating history, we have not noticed a significant impact from inflation on our revenues, net sales or net income from continuing operations.

Related Party Transactions and Agreements

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees. Pursuant to the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement for the Initial Offering, we paid Paladin Securities selling commissions of 7.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in our primary offering and 4.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan. We also paid Paladin Securities a dealer manager fee during our Initial Offering of up to 2.5% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in our primary offering. Pursuant to the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement for the Follow-On Offering, we pay Paladin Securities selling commissions of 6.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in our primary offering and we do not pay any commission from the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We also pay Paladin Securities a dealer manager fee during our Follow-On Offering of up to 3.5% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in our primary offering. Paladin Securities may pay all or a portion of these selling commissions and dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we incurred $156,848 in selling commissions and dealer manager fees to Paladin Securities.

Organization and Offering Costs. Our organization and offering costs are paid by Paladin Advisors or its affiliates, including Paladin Realty, on behalf of us and directly by us. Organization and offering costs consist of actual legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including amounts to reimburse Paladin Advisors, its affiliates or our dealer manager, for all marketing related costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, expenses relating to registering and marketing the shares and other marketing and organization costs, technology costs and expenses attributable to the Offerings, and payment or reimbursement of bona fide due diligence expenses of the dealer manager and broker-dealers participating in the Offerings. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we are obligated to reimburse Paladin Advisors or its affiliates for amounts advanced for organization and offering costs, provided that Paladin Advisors and its affiliates are responsible for the payment of organization and offering costs to the extent they exceed 3.0% of gross proceeds from the Offerings, excluding proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan, and will be required to return to us any amount we reimburse them in excess of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offerings, excluding proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan.

We had incurred organization and offering costs of $8,884,652 as of March 31, 2010, which includes $7,520,480 of deferred organization and offering costs paid by Paladin Advisors as described in Note 5 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herewith. Such costs only become a liability to us to the extent they do not exceed 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offerings, excluding proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan. When recorded by us, organization costs are expensed as incurred and offering costs are charged to stockholders’ equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recognized $61,597 of offering costs, which was charged to stockholders’ equity.

As of March 31, 2010, we have recognized a total of $1,455,608 of organization and offering costs. Subject to the 3.0% limitation, the remaining $7,429,044 in organization and offering costs, as of March 31, 2010 will be recognized in future periods as we receive additional proceeds of our offering.

Expense Reimbursement. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Paladin Advisors is entitled to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred for administrative and other services provided to us by Paladin Advisors and its affiliates for which they do not otherwise receive a fee. We will not reimburse Paladin Advisors for operating expenses that in the twelve months then ended exceeded the greater of (1) 2% of our average invested assets or (2) 25% of our net income (the “2%/25% Rule”), and Paladin Advisors must reimburse us quarterly for any amounts by which our operating expenses exceed the 2%/25% Rule in the twelve months then ended (the “Expense Period”), unless a majority of independent directors approves reimbursement of any excess. Our average invested assets for any period are equal to the average book value of our assets invested in equity interests in, and loans secured by, real estate before reserves for depreciation or bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves computed by taking the average of such values at the end of each month during the period. Our net income for any period, for purposes of the 2%/25%

 

21


Table of Contents

Rule, is equal to our total revenue less total expenses other than additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves for such period. Operating expenses include all expenses incurred by us under GAAP (including the asset management fee), but excluding organization and offering expenses, selling commissions and dealer manager fees, interest payments, taxes, non-cash expenditures such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves, the subordinated disposition fee, acquisition fees and expenses and distributions pursuant to Paladin Advisors’ subordinated participation interest in Paladin OP.

Paladin Advisors must reimburse the excess expenses to us within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter unless a majority of the independent directors determine that the excess expenses were justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient. Within 60 days after the end of any Expense Period for which total operating expenses exceed the 2%/25% Rule, we will send our stockholders written disclosure, together with an explanation of the factors the independent directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that the excess expenses were justified. However, at Paladin Advisors’ option, Paladin Advisors or its affiliate, as applicable may defer the reimbursement of expenses and elect to receive such payments, without interest, in any subsequent fiscal year that Paladin Advisors designates.

During the Expense Period ended March 31, 2010, our general and administrative expenses, including expenses incurred on our behalf by Paladin Advisors and its affiliates, did not exceed the 2%/25% Rule. During the Expense Period ended March 31, 2010, $682,434 was paid by Paladin Advisors.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we incurred $277,437 in general and administrative expenses. In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, we recognize on a quarterly basis amounts not exceeding the 2%/25% Rule. Due to the application of the 2%/25% Rule, we were able to recognize $283,189 of general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 with the additional amount of $5,752 recorded as due to affiliate.

Acquisition Fees. Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement prior to its amendment and restatement effective July 18, 2008, we paid Paladin Advisors acquisition fees consisting of 2.75% of (1) the contract purchase price for a property acquired directly or through a joint venture or (2) with respect to real estate related investments, the appraised value of the underlying property, not to exceed 5.5% of the funds we advance with respect to the investment. As amended, our Advisory Agreement provides for an acquisition fee in an amount equal to 1.5% of (1) the purchase price of a real property investment acquired directly; (2) our allocable cost of a property acquired in a joint venture or (3) with respect to real estate related investments, the funds advanced for such investment. Our allocable cost of a joint venture investment is equal to the product of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of properties by the joint venture, inclusive of expenses related thereto, and the amount of outstanding debt associated with such properties and the joint venture, and (ii) our percentage economic interest in the joint venture.

Asset Management Fees. Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement prior to its amendment and restatement effective July 18, 2008, an annual asset management fee was payable to Paladin Advisors monthly in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.6% of (1) the contract purchase price of a property acquired directly or through a joint venture or (2) with respect to real estate related investments, the appraised value of the underlying property, not to exceed 1.2% of the funds we advanced with respect to the investment. Paladin Advisors received this fee for supervising the management, leasing, development and construction services provided for our properties by third parties and management of real estate related investments. As amended, the Advisory Agreement provides that we will pay Paladin Advisors on a monthly basis an asset management fee in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.6% of (1) the purchase price of a real property investment acquired directly; (2) our allocable cost of a property acquired in a joint venture or (3) with respect to real estate related investments, the funds advanced for such investment. Our allocable cost of a joint venture investment is calculated as set forth above under “Acquisition Fees.” Paladin Advisors may elect, in its sole discretion, to defer (without interest) payment of the asset management fee in any month by providing us written notice of such deferral.

For each of our existing properties from the respective dates of acquisition through the period that we own the properties, Paladin Advisors has elected to receive a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.3% of our allocable cost of the real property acquired in these joint ventures. Paladin Advisors acknowledges that it has waived its right to receive any additional amounts due under the advisory agreement for such properties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we paid Paladin Advisors $95,220 for asset management fees earned for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Trends or Uncertainties

The commercial real estate debt markets have experienced continued volatility as a result of certain factors including the failure of large lending institutions, the placement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into the conservatorship of the U.S. government, the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies and the significant inventory of unsold collateralized mortgage backed securities in the market. This has resulted in lenders decreasing the availability of debt financing as well as increasing the cost of debt financing. As our existing debt is fixed rate debt, our current portfolio will not be materially impacted by the current debt market environment. However, should the reduced availability of debt and/or the increased cost of borrowings continue, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, we will need to consider such factors in the evaluation of future acquisitions. This may result in future acquisitions generating lower overall economic returns and potentially reducing future cash flow available for distribution.

The state of the debt markets could also have an impact on the overall amount of capital investing in real estate which may result in a decrease in the price or value of real estate assets. Although this may benefit us for future acquisitions, it could negatively impact the current value of our existing assets.

In addition, the current economic environment has resulted in a trend toward increasing vacancy rates for certain classes of commercial property, including multifamily and office properties. Factors such as rising unemployment have led to increased tenant delinquencies and/or defaults under leases, generally lower demand for rentable space and potential oversupply of rentable space. Although we have not thus far been materially adversely affected by the increasing vacancy rates, the continuation of the economic downturn could impact certain of our real properties and such real properties could experience higher levels of vacancy than anticipated at the time of our acquisition of such real properties. The value of our real properties could decrease below the amounts paid for them. Revenues from properties could decrease due to lower occupancy rates, reduced rental rates and potential increases in uncollectible rent. The longer the period of significant vacancies for a property, the greater the potential negative impact on our revenues and results of operations.

Our management is not aware of any other material trends or uncertainties that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the acquisition, management and operation of real property and real estate related investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, our sources of funds were:

 

   

proceeds, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, of $1,540,759 from the sale of 170,232 common shares in our Offering; and

 

   

net operating income of $2,584,826 from our investments in real estate.

We consider net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because net operating income reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the property, such as depreciation, interest expense, interest income and general and administrative expenses. Additionally, we believe that net operating income is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate investment community. However, our use of the term net operating income may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount. We believe that the line on our condensed consolidated statement of operations entitled “Net Loss Attributable to Company” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to net operating income. The following table is a reconciliation of net operating income to our reported net loss attributable to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2010:

Table of Contents

We are dependent upon the net proceeds to be received from our Follow-On Offering to conduct our proposed activities. The capital required to make additional real property investments and real estate related investments will be obtained from the Follow-On Offering and from any indebtedness that we may incur in connection with the acquisition of any real properties and real estate related investments thereafter. We anticipate our sources of funds will continue to consist of the net proceeds from the Follow-On Offering and indebtedness. We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the foreseeable future, and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other than these sources within the next twelve months.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $832,591 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $724,533 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The difference from period to period relates to our acquisitions in 2008 and 2009.

Mortgages Payable

We have mortgage loans in an aggregate amount of $121,601,467 outstanding, incurred in connection with our acquisitions. These mortgage notes payable are described in detail in Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Leverage Policy

Our charter provides that our independent directors must approve any borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets and the justification for such excess borrowing must be disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report. Net assets for purposes of this calculation are defined to be our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. The preceding calculation is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. As of March 31, 2010, our leverage did not exceed 300% of the value of our net assets.

Each of our eleven real estate investments is structured as a joint venture with an unaffiliated third-party. As required under GAAP, our financial statements present the operations of 801 Fiber Optic Drive on an unconsolidated basis, and the operations of Champion Farms Apartments, Fieldstone Apartments, Pinehurst Apartment Homes, Pheasant Run Apartments, the Retreat Apartments, Hilltop Apartments, Conifer Crossing, Two and Five Governor Park, Lofton Place Apartments and Beechwood Gardens Apartments on a consolidated basis. Consolidation requires us to reflect 100% of the income and expenses of property operations with a partial offset to account for the noncontrolling interests held by our joint venture partners. As structured as of March 31. 2010, our investment in Champion Farms Apartments represented a 70% ownership interest, our investment in Fieldstone Apartments an 83% ownership interest, our investment in Pinehurst Apartment Homes a 97.5% ownership interest, our investment in Pheasant Run Apartment a 97.5% ownership interest, our investment in the Retreat Apartments a 97.5% ownership interest, our investment in Hilltop Apartments a 49% ownership interest, our investment in Conifer Crossing a 42.5% ownership interest, our investment in Two and Five Governor Park a 47.65% interest, our investment in Lofton Place Apartments a 60% ownership interest and our investment in Beechwood Gardens Apartments an 82.3% ownership interest. However, by the terms of the joint ventures for Champion Farms and Fieldstone Apartments we are entitled to 100% of available cash flow from each property as a priority distribution until we receive at least an 8.25% return on our invested capital. By the terms of the joint ventures for Pinehurst Apartment Homes and Pheasant Run Apartments, we are entitled to 100% of available cash flow from each property as a priority distribution until we receive at least a 9.0% return on our invested capital. By the terms of the joint ventures for the Retreat Apartment and Hilltop Apartments, we are entitled to 100% of available cash flow from each property as a priority distribution until we receive at least a 12.0% return on our invested capital. By the terms of the joint venture for Conifer Crossing, we are entitled to 100% of available cash flow from the property as a priority distribution until we receive at least an 8.5% return on our invested capital. By the terms of the joint venture for Two and Five Governor Park, we are entitled to 100% of available cash flow from each property as a priority distribution until we receive at least a 9.0% return on our invested capital. By the terms of the joint ventures for Lofton Place Apartments and Beechwood Gardens Apartments, we are entitled to 100% of available cash flow from the properties as a priority distribution until we receive at least a 10.0% return on our invested capital.

Of the $669,193 distributions noted above for the three months ended March 31, 2010, $313,575 was paid in cash and $355,618 was paid through the distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares issued.

As shown in the previous tables, cash distributions from our investments have exceeded the cumulative distributions paid since inception through March 31, 2010. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, cash distributions from our investments did not exceed distributions paid for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. However, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was $832,591, which was greater than the amount of distributions paid. Although the distributions from our properties have generally exceeded the distributions paid to our stockholders, Paladin Advisors has paid expenses on our behalf, and Paladin Advisors has deferred the reimbursement of a portion of these expense payments and from time to time has deferred certain other fees owed to it. We are dependent on Paladin Advisors to support our financial position currently because of our small size. As we continue to grow by selling shares in our Follow-On Offering and by making additional investments, we expect to be able to finance our operations without advances from and deferrals of fees otherwise payable to Paladin Advisors.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, Paladin Advisors and its affiliates had incurred on our behalf $5,752 in general and administrative expenses. Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, Paladin Advisors has deferred (without interest) repayment of these expenses. The payment of these obligations may impact our ability to pay future distributions. Paladin Advisors is not obligated to either pay expenses on our behalf or defer reimbursements of such expense payments or fees in future periods. If Paladin Advisors were to cease paying expenses on our behalf or deferring reimbursement of expenses or fees, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected, and we may be unable to pay distributions to our stockholders, or such distributions could decrease significantly. Additionally, if Paladin Advisors continues to pay expenses on our behalf and/or defer reimbursement of expense payments or fees, the ultimate repayment of these obligations could adversely impact on our ability to pay distributions in future periods as well as potentially adversely impact the value of an investment in the Company.

The amount of distributions to be distributed to our stockholders in the future will be determined by our board of directors and are dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of distributions (including whether Paladin Advisors continues to pay expenses and/or defer reimbursement of expense payments or fees), our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, any limitations imposed by the terms of indebtedness we may incur and other factors.

Our Performance—Funds from Operations

One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by our operations. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investments Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations, or FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as us. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as defined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property but including asset impairment writedowns, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate requires a straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative.

Presentation of this information is intended to assist the reader in comparing the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance. Our FFO reporting complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

The following is the calculation of FFO for each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

On February 23, 2005, our Initial Offering (SEC File No. 333-113863) was declared effective and we commenced our efforts to raise up to 35,000,000 shares of our common stock in the primary offering for $10.00 per share and up to 3,500,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan for $10.00 per share, aggregating up to $385,000,000. On July 28, 2008, we commenced our Follow-On Offering of up to 85,526,316 shares of common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (SEC File Nos. 333-146867 and 333-113863) which was declared effective by the SEC on July 28, 2008. The Follow-on Offering includes up to 75,000,000 shares to be offered for sale at $10.00 per share in the primary offering and up to 10,526,316 shares to be offered for sale pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan for $9.50 per share, aggregating up to $850,000,000. As of March 31, 2010, we had sold 4,857,616 shares of common stock in the Offerings, raising gross proceeds of $48,298,279. From this amount, we have incurred $4,157,704 in selling commissions and dealer manager fees to our dealer managers and $8,884,652 in organization and offering costs (of which $1,455,608 has been recorded in our financial statements). As of March 31, 2010, we had net offering proceeds from the Offerings of $42,684,966. We used a combination of net offering proceeds and debt to purchase our interests in twelve properties, to pay $1,801,463 in acquisition or origination fees and $884,529 in asset management fees and to pay other operating expenses and fees.
