EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (“ASR” or, collectively, as a consolidated entity with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 is being filed to account for the Company’s January 2010 Evergreen transaction as the acquisition of a business and to consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

As discussed in Note 13, “Restatement,” of the notes to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q/A, the correction of this error from previously reported information for the three months ended March 31, 2010 has resulted in a change in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and related notes along with the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discussion.

This amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, in accordance with applicable SEC rules, this amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A includes updated certificates from our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (“ASR” or, collectively, as a consolidated entity with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation established on August 8, 2000. The Company is a full-service real estate corporation, which owns, manages and operates income-producing properties. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held through an operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in which the Company, as of March 31, 2010, held an interest of 73.34% (consisting of the sole general partner interest and a limited partnership interest). In January 2010, in connection with the Evergreen acquisition discussed below, the Operating Partnership issued 1,600,000 operating partnership units, which reduced the Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership from 88.39% at December 31, 2009 to 70.75% at January 31, 2010. The number of operating partnership units issued in connection with the Evergreen acquisition is subject to adjustment as of December 31, 2010 (Also see Note 4).

In March 2010, the Company sold 5850 San Felipe, a 101,880 square foot office property located in Houston, Texas. No properties were acquired during the first quarter of 2010.

As of March 31, 2010, through its majority-owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, the Company owned and operated 29 properties, which consisted of 22 office buildings, five industrial properties, one retail property and a parcel of land. The 29 properties are located in five states.

American Spectrum Management Group, Inc., (“ASMG”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, provides management and leasing services on the Company’s 29 properties. ASMG also manages and leases 14 properties in Texas for third parties representing 687,678 square feet of office, retail and industrial space.

American Spectrum Realty Management, LLC, (“ASRM”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, acquired the property management and asset management contracts held by Evergreen Realty Group, LLC and its affiliates in January 2010, which represent 80 separate assets. The former Evergreen-managed properties, which consist of 5,051,240 square feet of office and industrial properties, 2,934 multi-family units, 12,098 self storage units consisting of 1,793,881 square feet, 3,206 student housing units consisting of 9,107 beds and nine assisting living facilities consisting of 776 beds, are all now under the management of ASRM. This portfolio comprises properties located in 22 states – Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington. The acquisition of the management agreements from Evergreen gives the Company the ability to continue its expansion of its third-party management and leasing capabilities throughout the United States. This acquisition has resulted in a significant change in the Company’s operations, including an increase in employees from 46 at December 31, 2009 to 283 at March 31, 2010.

The current credit crisis, related turmoil in the global financial system and the downturn in the United States economy has had an adverse impact on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources. The credit crisis and the downturn in the economy has adversely affected the Company’s business in a number of ways, including effects on its ability to obtain new mortgages, to refinance current debt and to sell properties.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements for normal operating expenses from cash generated by operations and cash on hand. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $5,200,000 from the March 2010 sale of 5850 San Felipe. The proceeds will be used to repurchase the preferred interest in the partnership that owned 5850 San Felipe, reduce accounts payable, debt and for other investments. In addition, the Company anticipates generating proceeds from borrowing activities, additional property sales and/or equity offerings to provide additional funds for payments of accounts payables, consisting primarily of tenant improvements and capital improvements on properties. As of March 31, 2010, accounts payable over 90 days totaled $5,673,000, of which $1,588,000 was related to Hurricane Ike expenses, the 2010 Evergreen acquisition and other business development costs. Also, the Company expects to incur capital costs related to leasing space and making improvements to properties provided the estimated leasing of space is completed. The Company anticipates meeting these obligations with the use of funds held in escrow by lenders, proceeds from borrowing activities, additional property sales and/or equity offerings. There can be no assurance, however, that these activities will occur. If these activities do not occur, the Company will not have sufficient cash to meet its obligations.

The Company has loans totaling $27,986,000, maturing over the next twelve months. One of these loans, with a balance of $17,170,000 maturing in May 2010, contains two one-year extension options. The extension options are contingent upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions required by the lender. The Company believes it will be able to meet the extension criteria for this loan. Most of the Company’s mortgage debt is not cross-collateralized. The Company has three mortgage loans that are cross-collateralized by a second property. It is common for the Company to serve as a guarantor and/or indemnitor on its mortgage debt. Because of uncertainties caused by the current credit crisis, the Company’s current debt level and the Company’s historical losses there can be no assurances as to the Company’s ability to obtain funds necessary for the refinancing of its maturing debts. If refinancing transactions are not consummated, the Company will seek extensions and/or modifications from existing lenders. If these refinancings or extensions do not occur, the Company will not have sufficient cash to meet its obligations.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared without audit in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Pursuant to such rules and regulations, these financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise identified. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010 or for any future period.

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

The financial statements include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and all other subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions, receivables and payables have been eliminated in consolidation.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Real estate designated as held for sale is presented as discontinued operations and the results of operations of these properties are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations.

In April 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of one share of Common Stock for each share currently outstanding to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 30, 2010. On May 7, 2010, each shareholder received one additional share of common stock for every outstanding share held. Share and per share data and the OP Unit exchange ratio in the consolidated financial statements and notes for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the stock dividend.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates as one business operating and reportable segment.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued changes to fair value accounting for liabilities. These changes clarify existing guidance that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using either a valuation technique that uses a quoted price of a similar liability or a quoted price of an identical or similar liability when traded as an asset, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurements, such as an income approach (e.g., present value technique). This guidance also states that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability and a quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. These changes became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for variable interest entities. These changes require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, see Note 4. “Variable Interest Entities” for details regarding the impact of adoption.

In May 2009, the FASB issued changes to accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, otherwise known as “subsequent events.” Specifically, these changes set forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying financial statements were issued.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation expense beginning with the first quarter of 2006 included compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the estimated grant date fair value. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the estimated grant-date fair value. The Company is recognizing these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which ranges from immediate vesting to vesting over a three-year period.

NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

Unit Holders in the Operating Partnership

Unit holders in the Operating Partnership (other than the Company) held an 26.66% and 11.61% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, as limited partners, at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Each of the holders of the interests in the Operating Partnership (other than the Company) has the option (exercisable after the first anniversary of the issuance of the OP Units) to redeem its OP Units and to receive, at the option of the Company, in exchange for each two OP Units, either (i) one share of Common Stock of the Company, or (ii) cash equal to the value of one share of Common Stock of the Company at the date of conversion, but no fractional shares will be issued.

In January 2010, the Company issued 1,600,000 OP Units connection with the Evergreen acquisition. Evergreen shall have the option to exchange the OP Units into common stock of the Company 90 days after December 31, 2010, at the rate of one share of common stock for each two OP Units, or if the Company so elects, cash in lieu of issuing common stock. The number of OP Units issued was based on a common stock price of $10 per share (after effect of the one-for-one stock dividend), which is subject to adjustment on December 31, 2010, based on the higher of the then-existing stock price of the Company’s shares or the Company’s net asset value per share (Also see Note 4).

Partial Sale of Consolidated Partnership Interests

On September 1, 2009, a third party purchased from the Company a 49% preferred interest in each of two single purpose limited partnerships for $4,000,000 (“Preferred Capital”). Proceeds of $3,811,000, net of transaction costs, were received as a result of the sale. Each of the limited partnerships owned an income-producing property in Houston, Texas.

These limited partnerships are required to distribute, monthly, an annual 12% cumulative, non-compounding return on the unredeemed Preferred Capital and a participation in the operating net cash flow of the limited partnerships.

The Company has a right to repurchase the preferred interests in each of the partnerships within five years for an amount equal to the remaining Preferred Capital plus a 15% annual internal rate of return.

On March 31, 2010, the Company sold 5850 San Felipe, one of the income-producing properties in which a preferred partnership interest was held by the third party. In April 2010, the Company repurchased the preferred interest from the third party for $1,785,000.

As of March 31, 2010, non-controlling interests related to the partial sale of consolidated partnership interests was $3,484,000, of which $1,785,000 repurchased in April 2010, was classified as temporary equity.

Variable Interest Entity

We have one variable interest entity (“VIE”) where we are the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes. We own an insignificant interest in the VIE, and therefore, substantially all operations are included in the net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests. See Note 4. “Variable Interest Entity”.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company incurred net losses from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009. Stock options outstanding of 58,750 and 58,750 and OP Units (other than those held by the Company) outstanding of 2,136,760 and 744,982 (convertible into approximately 1,068,380 and 372,492 shares of common stock), at March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively, have not been included in the Company’s net loss per share calculations for periods presented since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

INCOME TAXES

In May 2006, the State of Texas enacted a margin tax which became effective in 2008. This margin tax required each of the Company’s limited partnerships and limited liability companies that operate in Texas to pay a tax of 1.0% on their “margin” as defined in the law, beginning in 2008 based on 2007 results. The legislation revised the Texas franchise tax to create a new tax on virtually all Texas businesses. The margin tax has not had a material effect on the Company’s income tax liability.

In June 2006, the FASB issued guidance regarding the uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The guidance clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements. There is a recognition threshold of more-likely–than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $133,000, all of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. The Company does not expect that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to any unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. There are no significant penalties or interest accrued at March 31, 2010. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ending December 31, 2006 through 2009.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805 to all transactions or events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those effected without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract or through a lapse of minority veto rights. These provisions require the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establish the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and require expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs. The Company determines whether acquisitions should be accounted for as a business combination. This policy applies to all transactions or events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those effected without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract or through a lapse of minority veto rights.

The Company determines and allocates the purchase price of an acquired company to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the business combination date. The purchase price allocation process requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions, including fair value estimates, as of the business combination date. We utilize third-party valuation companies to help us determine certain fair value estimates used for assets and liabilities.

Additionally, the purchase price of the applicable property is allocated to the above or below market value of in-place leases and the value of in-place leases and related tenant relationships. The value allocable to the above or below market component of the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) our estimate of the amounts that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to below market lease values are included in accrued and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any below market renewal options of the acquired leases with each property.

While we use our best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business combination date, our estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the purchase price allocation period, which is generally one year from the business combination date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it is deemed a VIE and, if so, whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE under current authoritative accounting guidance, and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other venture partners to identify the party that is exposed to the majority of the VIE’s expected losses, expected residual returns, or both. We use this analysis to determine which VIE’s should be consolidated for financial accounting purposes. The comparison uses both qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques that may involve the use of a number of assumptions about the amount and timing of future cash flows.

Upon de-consolidation of a VIE, we will disclose the following:

the amount of any gain or loss recognized as the result of removal of the VIE’s assets, liabilities, and equity from our balance sheet;

the portion of any gain or loss related to the re-measurement to fair value of any retained investment in the VIE being derecognized;

the financial statement line item where the gain or loss relating to de-consolidation of the VIE is de-consolidated;

the nature of our continued involvement (if any) with the former VIE or the entity acquiring the VIE after de-consolidation, and;

whether the de-consolidation transaction occurs with a related party or if the transaction will cause the VIE to be a related party after de-consolidation.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION ACTIVITIES

Acquisition of Property Management and Asset Management Contracts

In January 2010, the Company acquired the property management and asset management contracts held by Evergreen Realty Group, LLC and affiliates ("Evergreen") for a total of approximately 80 separate properties, pending receipt of all required approvals for the acquisition; until such approvals are received, the Company is managing the properties and assets under subcontract from Evergreen. The Company also acquired from Evergreen (i) Evergreen's interest as the manager of limited liability companies which have invested in 27 of the managed properties (in eight of which it has also acquired an equity interest); (ii) Evergreen's interest as the general partner of limited partnerships which have invested in four of the managed properties (in none of which it acquired an equity interest), and (iii) direct tenant-in-common interests in two properties. The Evergreen-managed properties consist of 5,051,240 square feet of office and industrial properties, 2,934 multi-family units, 12,098 self storage units consisting of 1,793,881 square feet, 3,206 student housing units consisting of 9,107 beds and nine assisting living facilities consisting of 776 beds. The purchase price is subject to adjustment after December 31, 2010, based on the revenues generated by the property management and asset management contracts during 2010 and certain costs incurred. See Note 13. “Restatement” for additional information regarding the Evergreen acquisition.

The Company focuses on acquisition candidates that build upon its national property management portfolio. The acquisition of the Evergreen property management and property management contracts significantly increased the Company’s third party management presence in the continental United States. The allocation of the purchase price for these assets is as follows:

	Remaining		Fair
Asset Class	Useful Life		Value
			(in thousands)
Tangible Assets:
Fractional Real Estate Interests	Various		$	375
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	Various			148
Total tangible assets acquired				523

Intangible Assests:
Property management contracts		12		13,474
Goodwill, including assembled workforce		-		4,003
Total intangible assets acquired				17,477

Total purchase price			$	18,000

The goodwill identified as part of the acquisition relates to the value the Company believes it gained from the synergies of having a management presence in approximately 22 states. The Company believes these synergies will afford it the opportunity to actively pursue its policy of growing its portfolio of owned properties through opportunistic investments in well-located properties where cost effective enhancements combined with effective leasing and management strategies, can improve the long term values and economic returns of those properties. The Company also believes the goodwill acquired will allow it to expand its third party management and transaction revenues. The Company expects the entire amount of goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes over the tax amortization period of 15 years.

The consideration paid for the acquisition of the Evergreen property management and asset management contracts is as follows:

	Fair
Consideration	Value
	(in thousands)
Promissory Note	$	9,500
Issuance of 1.6 million operating partnership units		8,000
Assumption of debt		500
Total consideration	$	18,000

The Company completed the Evergreen acquisition by assuming $0.5 million of Evergreen payables, issuing 1.6 million OP units with redemption terms that are different from the Company's other OP Units (the "Evergreen OP Units") and issuing a $9.5 million promissory note. The promissory note is an obligation of American Spectrum Realty Management, LLC, a subsidiary, which matures on December 31, 2019 and bears an annual interest rate of 5.0%.

The Evergreen purchase price was based on a multiple of the estimated revenues generated by the property management and asset management contracts during 2010 less certain costs incurred. This purchase price is subject to a true-up adjustment based on actual results through December 31, 2010. In addition, Evergreen has the option to exchange the Evergreen OP units for common stock or cash (at the election of the Company) at any time after June 30, 2011 at a rate that would convert the total proceeds to equal $8.0 million using the common stock price or the net asset value per share of the Company, whichever is higher, at December 31, 2010.

The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 has been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of assets and management contracts with the corresponding consolidation of a VIE, as described in Note 4 - Variable Interest Entity, assuming that these events occurred on January 1, 2010. The pro forma statement of income is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been obtained had this transaction actually occurred at the beginning of the period presented, nor do they intend to be a projection of future results of operations. Reliable information to provide pro forma financial disclosure on the Evergreen acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is currently unavailable and impracticable to prepare. Therefore, such pro forma financial information has not been included.

The pro forma information is based on estimates and assumptions that have been made solely for purposes of developing such pro forma information, including without limitations, purchase accounting adjustments. The pro forma financial information presented below also includes depreciation and amortization based on the valuation of Evergreen’s tangible and intangible assets resulting from the acquisition plus consolidation of the VIE as if such consolidation had occurred as of January 1, 2010. The pro forma financial information does not include any synergies or operating cost reductions that may be achieved from the combined operations.

See Note 4. “Variable Interest Entity” for additional information on the consolidated VIE.

Property Dispositions

5850 San Felipe, a 101,880 square foot office property located in Houston, Texas was sold on March 31, 2010. The sale generated proceeds of approximately $5,200,000. The proceeds will be used to repurchase the preferred interest in the partnership that owned 5850 San Felipe, reduce debt, payables and for other investments. The transaction generated a gain on sale before income tax expense of approximately $4,300,000.

NOTE 4. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

We have identified one variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes since (a) we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance such as; sign and enter into leases; set, distribute and implement the capital budgets, or authority to refinance or sell the property within contractually defined limits, and (b) the ability to receive fees that are significant to the property and a track record of funding any deficit cash flows. As a result, this entity was consolidated in the condensed consolidated financial statements, after eliminating intercompany transactions, and presenting the interests that are not owned by us as non-controlling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The entity being consolidated owns a 125,006 square foot commercial property located in Ohio. The entity is generally self-financed through cash flows from property operations. We own an insignificant interest in the VIE, and therefore, substantially all operations are included in the net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests.

The carrying amounts associated with this entity, after eliminating the effect of intercompany transactions, were as follows (in thousands):

	March 31,
Variable interest entity amounts	2010
	(unaudited)
Assets
Restricted Cash	$	925
Fixed Assets, net of depreciation		21,777
Other Assets		940
Total Assets	$	23,642

Liabilities
Accounts payable		75
Notes payable		15,234
Other liabilities		848
Total liabilities	$	16,157

Variable interest entity net carrying amount	$	7,485

At March 31, 2010, the liabilities in the above table are solely the obligations of the VIE and are not guaranteed by the Company. The Company does not have the ability to leverage the assets of the above identified VIE for the purpose of providing cash to the Company. The debt is solely secured by the property of the VIE.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we did not provide to or receive loans from to the VIE that has been consolidated. We do not believe we have significant exposure to losses related to the VIE.

See Note 3. “Acquisition and Disposition Activities” for additional information on the business combination.

NOTE 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Real estate assets held for sale.

At December 31, 2009, 5850 San Felipe, a 101,882 square foot office property located in Houston, Texas, was classified as “Real estate held for sale.” The property was sold on March 31, 2010. No real estate assets were classified as held for sale by the Company at March 31, 2010.

(1)	The Company is currently negotiating a maturity extension on the note with the lender.

(2)	In April 2010, the Company made a principal payment of $240,000 on the note and the lender extended the maturity date of the note to April 29, 2011.

(3)	Represents bank loan in the amount of $1,000,000 obtained in March 2010.

(4)	Represents promissory note issued by the Company in January 2010 in connection with the Evergreen acquisition.

(5)	The loan contains two one-year extension options. The extension options are contingent upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions required by the lender.

The Company is not in compliance with a debt covenant on a mortgage loan secured by one of its office properties located in Houston, Texas. The debt covenant requires the Company to maintain a minimum tangible book net worth as defined in the debt agreement. In the event the lender elects to enforce the non-compliance matter, the Company will attempt to negotiate a revision to the loan covenant. If a refinance of the loan becomes necessary, the Company believes it could obtain a new mortgage loan for an amount in excess of the current debt balance and prepayment costs associated with the current loan.

NOTE 7. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Unit Holders in the Operating Partnership

In January 2010, the Company issued 1,600,000 OP Units in connection with the Evergreen acquisition. Evergreen shall have the option to exchange the OP Units into common stock of the Company 90 days after December 31, 2010, at the rate of one share of common stock for each two OP Units, or if the Company so elects, cash in lieu of issuing common stock. The number of OP Units issued was based on a common stock price of $10 per share (after effect of the one-for-one stock dividend), and is subject to adjustment on of December 31, 2010, based on the higher of the then-existing stock price of the Company’s shares or the Company’s net asset value per share.

Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company recognizes these compensation costs net of a forfeiture rate and recognizes the compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2010 amounted to $26,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted earnings per share. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2009 amounted to $20,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted earnings per share. Compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated condensed statement of operations for all periods presented.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

In the accompanying financial statements, the results of operations for 5850 San Felipe, a 101,880 square foot office property located in Houston, Texas are shown in the section “Discontinued operations”. 5850 San Felipe was classified as “Real estate held for sale” at December 31, 2009. The revenues and expenses reported for the periods presented exclude results from properties sold or classified as held for sale. The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, included in Note 5.

The Company’s properties were 84% occupied at March 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company continues to aggressively pursue prospective tenants to increase its occupancy, which if successful, should have the effect of improving operational results.

American Spectrum Management Group, Inc., (“ASMG”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, provides management and leasing services for the Company’s 29 properties. ASMG also manages and leases 14 properties in Texas for third parties representing 687,628 square feet of office, retail and industrial space.

American Spectrum Realty Management, LLC, (“ASRM”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, acquired the property management and asset management contracts held by Evergreen Realty Group, LLC and its affiliates (“Evergreen”) in January 2010, which represent 80 separate assets. The former Evergreen-managed properties, which consist of 5,051,240 square feet of office and industrial properties, 2,934 multi-family units, 12,098 self storage units consisting of 1,793,881 square feet, 3,206 student housing units consisting of 9,107 beds and nine assisting living facilities consisting of 776 beds, are all now under the management of ASRM. This portfolio comprises properties located in 22 states – Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington. The acquisition gives the Company the ability to continue its expansion of its third-party management and leasing capabilities throughout the United States. This acquisition has resulted in a significant change in the Company’s operations, including an increase in employees from 46 at December 31, 2009 to 283 at March 31, 2010.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The major accounting policies followed by the Company are listed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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 results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated condensed financial statements:

Investment in Real Estate Assets

Rental properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, unless circumstances indicate that cost, net of accumulated depreciation, cannot be recovered, in which case the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. Estimated fair value (i) is based upon the Company's plans for the continued operation of each property and (ii) is computed using estimated sales price, as determined by prevailing market values for comparable properties and/or the use of capitalization rates multiplied by annualized net operating income based upon the age, construction and use of the building. The fulfillment of the Company's plans related to each of its properties is dependent upon, among other things, the presence of economic conditions which will enable the Company to continue to hold and operate the properties prior to their eventual sale. Due to uncertainties inherent in the valuation process and in the economy, the actual results of operating and disposing of the Company's properties could be materially different than current expectations.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets. The useful lives are as follows:

Building and Improvements		5 to 40 years
Tenant Improvements		Term of the related lease
Furniture and Equipment		3 to 5 years

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, above and below market leases, origination costs, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities), and allocates the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company also considers an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases.

The Company evaluates acquired “above and below” market leases at their fair value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.

Sales of Real Estate Assets

Gains on property sales are recognized in full when real estate is sold, provided (i) the gain is determinable, that is, the collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured or the amount that will not be collectible can be estimated, and (ii) the earnings process is virtually complete, that is, the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale to earn the gain. Losses on property sales are recognized immediately.

Business Combinations

The Company determines and allocates the purchase price of an acquired company to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the business combination date. The purchase price allocation process requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions, including fair value estimates, as of the business combination date. The Company utilizes third-party valuation companies to help determine certain fair value estimates used for assets and liabilities.

Variable Interest Entity Accounting

The Company has relationships with many different types of entities; some of those entities are Variable Interest Entities (VIEs). We consolidate any VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary. We analyze our variable interests, including equity investments, guarantees, management agreements and advances, to determine if an entity in which we have a variable interest is a VIE. Our analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews. We base our quantitative analysis on the estimated future cash flows of the entity, and our qualitative analysis on the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and relevant financial agreements. All of these factors are highly subjective and require significant judgment on the part of management.

Upon de-consolidation of a VIE, we will disclose the following:

the amount of any gain or loss recognized as the result of removal of the VIE’s assets, liabilities, and equity from our balance sheet;

the portion of any gain or loss related to the re-measurement to fair value of any retained investment in the VIE being derecognized;

the financial statement line item where the gain or loss relating to de-consolidation of the VIE is de-consolidated;

the nature of our continued involvement (if any) with the former VIE or the entity acquiring the VIE after de-consolidation, and;

whether the de-consolidation transaction occurs with a related party or if the transaction will cause the VIE to be a related party after de-consolidation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Discussion of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

The following table shows a comparison of rental revenues and certain expenses for the quarter ended:

	March 31,		March 31,		Variance
	2010 (restated)		2009		$			%
Rental revenue	$	8,183,000	$	8,440,000	$	(257,000	)	(3.1	)%
Third party management and leasing revenue		964,000		17,000		947,000		5,570.6	%
Operating expenses:
Property operating expenses		3,625,000		3,893,000		(268,000	)	(6.9	)%
General and administrative		1,622,000		870,000		752,000		86.4	%
Depreciation and amortization		3,761,000		3,597,000		164,000		4.6	%
Interest expense		3,400,000		3,295,000		105,000		3.2	%

Rental revenue. Rental revenue decreased $257,000, or 3.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was in large part due to an increase in rent concessions. The decrease was also due to a decrease in common area maintenance fee revenue recognized during the first quarter of 2010 in comparison to the first quarter of 2009. The weighted average occupancy of the Company’s properties was 84% at March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Third party management and leasing revenue. Third party management and leasing revenue increased by $947,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to revenues generated as a result of the January 2010 acquisition of property management and asset management contracts from Evergreen. Third party management revenues attributable to the Evergreen acquisition amounted to $910,000 for the first quarter of 2010. The increase was also due to an increase in third party management and leasing revenues attributable to the Company’s other third party management contracts.

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses decreased by $268,000, or 6.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in property taxes attributable to a decrease in the assessed values of several of the Company’s properties. The decrease was also due to lower property maintenance costs and bad debt expense incurred during the quarter.

Corporate general and administrative. Corporate general and administrative costs increased by $752,000, or 86.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to operating expenses associated with the property management and asset management contracts acquired from Evergreen in January 2010, which amounted to approximately $860,000. The increase was principally personnel related. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in legal fees incurred during the quarter.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $164,000, or 4.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due amortization of intangibles acquired in the January 2010 Evergreen transaction.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $105,000, or 3.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the $9,500,000 new loan associated with the Evergreen acquisition. Interest expense related to the new loan amounted to $99,000 during the first quarter of 2010.

Non-controlling interests. The share of income attributable to non-controlling interests was $434,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to a share of loss attributable to non-controlling interests of $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The non-controlling interests represent i) unit holders in the Operating Partnership (other than the Company) that held, as of March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, a respective 27% and 12% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as limited partners and ii) a 49% interest in two of the Company’s single purpose limited partnerships sold to a third party in September 2009, one of which was repurchased in April 2010.

Discontinued operations. The Company recorded income from discontinued operations of $2,847,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 includes the net gain on the sale of 5850 San Felipe and the property’s operating results through its disposition date of March 31, 2010. The income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 represents the property’s operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2009

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first three months of 2010, the Company derived cash primarily from the collection of rents, proceeds from the sale of 5850 San Felipe and borrowing activities. Major uses of cash included payments for capital improvements to real estate assets, primarily for tenant improvements, payment of operational expenses, repayment of borrowings and scheduled principal and interest payments on borrowings.

The Company reported net income of $420,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to a net loss of $1,801,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. These results include the following non-cash items:

Noncontrolling interests		434			(250	)
Stock-based compensation expense		26			20
Amortization of loan premium		-			(11	)

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $540,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The net cash represented $664,000 generated by property operations partially offset by a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $124,000. Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $448,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The net cash used in operating activities included $514,000 generated by property operations, offset by a change in net operating assets and liabilities of $962,000.

Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $8,891,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This amount was comprised of proceeds of $10,166,000 received from the sale of 5850 San Felipe, reduced by funds used for capital improvements, primarily tenant improvements, of $1,044,000 and an advance of $200,000 to a third party. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $270,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Cash of $878,000 was used for capital expenditures, primarily tenant improvements. The Company received insurance proceeds of $1,350,000 related to its hurricane and fire claims and paid $742,000 for damages related to the hurricane and fire.

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $4,835,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which included the debt repayment on the sale of 5850 San Felipe of $5,317,000, scheduled principal payments on debt of $580,000 and distributions to non-controlling interests of $135,000. This amount was partially offset by new borrowings of $1,250,000. Cash used in financing activities of $599,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was attributable to scheduled principal payments on debt.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

The Company believes that Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a useful supplemental measure of its operating performance. The Company computed FFO in accordance with standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in April 2002. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as a measure of performance of the Company because, along with cash flow from operating activities, FFO provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO does not represent net income or cash flows from operations, as defined by GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not necessarily indicate that cash flows will be sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. Further, FFO as disclosed by other companies may not be comparable to the Company's calculation of FFO.

The following table sets forth the Company’s calculation of FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 (restated)			Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
Net income (loss) attributable to the Company	$	420		$	(1,801	)
Depreciation and amortization from discontinued operations		8			115
Net income from discontinued operations		(2,847	)		(29	)
Deferred income tax benefit		(1,204	)		(1,110	)
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests		434			(250	)
Depreciation and amortization		3,761			3,597
FFO	$	572		$	522

INFLATION

Substantially all of the leases at the industrial and retail properties provide for pass-through to tenants of certain operating costs, including real estate taxes, common area maintenance expenses, and insurance. Leases at the office properties typically provide for rent adjustment and pass-through of increases in operating expenses during the term of the lease. All of these provisions may permit the Company to increase rental rates or other charges to tenants in response to rising prices and therefore, serve to reduce the Company's exposure to the adverse effects of inflation.
