AmREIT MONTHLY INCOME & GROWTH FUND III, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2014
(unaudited)


1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

General

We are a Texas limited partnership formed on April 19, 2005 to acquire, develop and operate, directly or indirectly through joint venture arrangements, a portfolio of commercial real estate consisting primarily of multi-tenant shopping centers and mixed-use developments. Our General Partner is a subsidiary of AmREIT, an SEC reporting, Maryland corporation that is publicly traded on the NYSE and that has elected to be taxed as a REIT.

Strategic Plan

Our operating period ended on October 31, 2012, and we have entered into our liquidation period pursuant to the terms of our partnership agreement. Accordingly, our General Partner has begun in good faith to review market sales opportunities, but attractive sales opportunities may not exist in the near term. As such, an orderly liquidation of our assets and wind-down of our operations may take several years for our General Partner to complete. During the liquidation period, we plan to complete any developments and redevelopments of existing properties, and we do not intend to invest in any new properties without the consent of the Limited Partners. Although our General Partner will pursue sales opportunities that are in the best interest of our Limited Partners, we do not expect that our investors will recover all of their original investment.

On October 31, 2014, AmREIT announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Edens Investment Trust (“EDENS”) pursuant to which EDENS will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of AmREIT for $26.55 per share in an all-cash transaction. The transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015, is contingent on customary closing conditions and the approval of AmREIT stockholders. We can provide no assurances that this transaction will close, or if it closes, that it will close within the timeframe or on the terms described herein. The Limited Partners will not be entitled to any compensation or consideration from the closing of the transaction. If the transaction closes, the Partnership and the General Partner will remain intact as surviving entities, but as subsidiaries of EDENS’ merger subsidiary, which will survive the merger of that entity and AmREIT, and certain officers and board members of the General Partner may change upon the closing of the transaction. We believe that the proposed EDENS’ acquisition of AmREIT will not impact the orderly planned liquidation of our assets.

Economic Conditions and Liquidity

Our results of operations and valuations of our real estate assets have been negatively impacted by overall economic conditions from the recent recession. Most of our retail properties were purchased prior to 2008 when retail real estate market prices were much higher, and our property valuations were negatively impacted by these market dynamics. The United States has experienced recent improvements in the general economy; however, it is difficult to determine if the improvements experienced will continue through 2014 and into the future.

As of September 30, 2014, we have $4.2 million in cash on hand. On June 25, 2014, we sold our Lantern Lane property to AmREIT for $22.7 million, which resulted in net sales proceeds of approximately $7.4 million after repayment of the mortgage loan secured by the property. We declared a distribution of approximately $3.7 million from the net sales proceeds to our Limited Partners, which we paid on July 23, 2014, and we retained the balance to fund the anticipated capital activities related to our Casa Linda Shopping Center and our 5433 Westheimer property.

On June 6, 2014, we modified our Westside Plaza debt agreement. The modification had the effect of deferring $1.3 million of accrued principal and interest payments until maturity. The modified agreement also contains a provision that may result in forgiveness of all or a portion of our outstanding Note B debt obligation upon a sale or refinancing of the property. As part of the modification agreement, we paid $1.2 million, including a principal reduction and increases to escrow accounts, as well as loan modification and legal fees. See Note 5. Additionally, we and MIG IV refinanced the $38.0 million mortgage securing the Casa Linda property (a 50% joint venture between us and MIG IV) in December 2013 with a four-year, non-recourse loan. The new loan contains a provision that would allow for an additional funding of approximately $4.5 million should we elect to acquire an adjacent property.

Table of Contents

On October 18, 2014, our 5433 Westheimer joint venture modified its mortgage loan as part of its plans to dispose of the property. See Note 4. Among other things, the modification waived prior non-compliance with its debt covenants through October 18, 2014, extended the term to October 2017, extended the interest-only payment terms to October 2015, and modified certain operating covenants.

Our continuing short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, regular debt service requirements and capital expenditures. We anticipate that our primary long-term liquidity requirements will include, but will not be limited to, operating expenses, making scheduled debt service payments, funding renovations, expansions, and other significant capital expenditures for our existing portfolio of properties including those of with our joint ventures. Although no assurance can be given, we believe that we will be able to generate liquidity sufficient to continue to execute an orderly liquidation of our assets.


2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Our financial records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts as well as the accounts of any wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. Investments in joint ventures and partnerships where we have the ability to exercise significant influence but do not exercise financial and operating control are accounted for using the equity method (see Note 4). The significant accounting policies of our non-consolidated entities are consistent with those of our subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. As of September 30, 2014, we do not have any interests in variable interest entities. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and are unaudited. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations and, accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Because liquidation was not imminent as of September 30, 2014, the financial statements are presented assuming we continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at commercial banks and money market funds.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income from operating leases – We lease space to tenants under agreements with varying terms. Our leases are accounted for as operating leases, and, although certain leases of the properties provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due and/or for changes in the minimum lease payments over the terms of the leases, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the individual leases. Revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, possession or control occurs on the lease commencement date. In cases where significant tenant improvements are made prior to lease commencement, the leased asset is considered to be the finished space, and revenue recognition therefore begins when the improvements are substantially complete. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance is recognized in the period the related expense is recorded. Additionally, certain of our lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based upon tenants’ sales volumes (contingent or percentage rent). Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. Accrued rents are included in tenant and accounts receivable, net.

Table of Contents

Redevelopment Properties

Expenditures related to the development of real estate are capitalized as part of construction in progress. Costs capitalized related to the development and redevelopment of real estate include pre-construction costs, real estate taxes, insurance, direct construction costs as well as the salaries and payroll costs of personnel directly involved. The determination of when a development project is substantially complete and when capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment; however, capitalization of such costs generally ceases at the earlier of the date of completion of major construction or when the property, or any completed portion, becomes available for occupancy.

Acquired Properties and Acquired Intangibles

We account for acquisitions of operating real properties as business acquisitions, as we believe most operating real estate meets the definition of a “business” under GAAP. Accordingly, we allocate the purchase price of each acquired property to land, building and improvements, identifiable intangible assets and to the acquired liabilities based on their respective fair values. Identifiable intangibles include amounts allocated to acquired above and below market leases, the value of in-place leases and customer relationship value, if any. Intangibles related to in-place lease value and above and below-market leases are recorded as acquired lease intangibles and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue or amortization expense, as appropriate, over the remaining terms of the underlying leases. Below market leases include fixed-rate renewal periods where we believe the renewal is reasonably assured. Premiums or discounts on debt are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of such debt. Costs related to acquiring operating properties are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of up to 39 years for buildings and site improvements and the term of the lease for tenant improvements. We re-evaluate the useful lives of our buildings and improvements as warranted by changing conditions at our properties. As part of this re-evaluation, we may also consider whether such changing conditions indicate a potential impairment, and we perform an impairment analysis, as necessary, at the property level. In the case of a property redevelopment, we reassess the useful lives of specific buildings or other improvements to be demolished as part of that redevelopment once the redevelopment is probable of occurring.

Impairment

We review our properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including acquired lease intangibles and accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. We determine whether an impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the residual value of the property, with the carrying value of the individual property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Both the estimated undiscounted cash flow analysis and fair value determination are based upon various factors that require complex and subjective judgments to be made by management. For our multi-building retail centers, we consider the entire retail center as the asset group for purposes of our impairment analysis. We review our investments in non-consolidated entities for impairment based on a similar review of the properties held by the investee entity. No impairment charges were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” that will supersede the existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The accounting update states that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It also establishes a five-step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This standard does not supersede current accounting literature for lease contracts. We are currently evaluating this accounting update and our existing revenue recognition policies for contracts other than our lease contracts with tenants to determine what impact, if any, this new guidance could have on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” Under the update, discontinued operations as defined as either 1) A component of and entity (or group of components) that (i) has been disposed of or meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale and (ii) represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, or 2) is a business or nonprofit activity that on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale. The accounting update is effective on a prospective basis for disposals or assets meeting the definition as held-for-sale for accounting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early application is permitted, but only for those disposals that have not been reported in previously issued financial statements. We did not elect to early adopt this update. The results of operations from our Lantern Lane property sold on June 25, 2014 are shown as discontinued operations. See Note 3.

Subsequent Events

On October 31, 2014, AmREIT announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement under which EDENS will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of AmREIT. See Note 1.

On October 18, 2014, our 5433 Westheimer joint venture modified its mortgage loan as part of its plans to dispose of its property. See Note 4.

We identified no additional subsequent events as of the date of this filing that materially impacted our consolidated financial statements.


3.	ASSET DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 25, 2014, we sold our Lantern Lane property to AmREIT for $22.7 million, which generated net sales proceeds of approximately $7.4 million, net of closing costs and the repayment of the mortgage loan secured by the property. We have presented the operating results of this property as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. A summary of our discontinued operations for the periods presented is detailed below (amounts in thousands):

4.	INVESTMENTS IN NON-CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

As of September 30, 2014, we have investments in four entities, PTC/BSQ Holding Company LLC, Casa Linda, Woodlake Pointe, and 5433 Westheimer, through which we owned an interest in six properties that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting due to our ability to exercise significant influence over them. Our investment balances as reported on our consolidated balance sheet are as follows ($ in thousands):


Investment	Ownership			September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
PTC/BSQ		20	%	$	7,645	$	7,960
Casa Linda		50	%		2,944		3,104
Woodlake Pointe		30	%		2,933		3,014
5433 Westheimer		57.5	%		2,451		2,726
Woodlake Square		3	%		—		21
Total				$	15,973	$	16,825

PTC/BSQ - We own a 20% interest in PTC/BSQ Holding Company LLC, which owns three multi-tenant retail properties located in Plano, Texas with a combined GLA of 444,000 square feet. The remaining 80% is owned by an unaffiliated third party. We initiated a redevelopment in January 2012, which was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $11.6 million in redevelopment costs have been incurred out of a total expected cost of $12.5 million, including tenant improvements and leasing costs. Our PTC/BSQ joint venture refinanced its debt on June 28, 2013, increasing the total debt from $44.4 million to $54.0 million with an additional $4.5 million available for future capital improvements. The loan matures in June 2016 with two one-year extension options.

PTC/BSQ Holding Company LLC has an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $54.0 million, effectively fixing the interest rate on this debt at 2.51% in order to manage the volatility inherent in a variable-rate mortgage. The interest rate swap was designated as a hedge for financial reporting purposes. Changes in fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our portion of the increase in fair value totaled $19,000 and is recorded as “equity portion of change in fair value of derivative held by non-consolidated entity” on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Casa Linda - We own a 50% interest in AmREIT Casa Linda, LP, which owns a 325,000 square foot retail shopping center located in Dallas, Texas. The remaining 50% is owned by MIG IV, an affiliate of our General Partner. During 2012, we and MIG IV initiated a lease-up strategy at our Casa Linda property. We expect to fund a total of approximately $1.5 million in capital expenditures representing our 50% share of this strategy, which includes certain tenant build-out and site improvements. As of September 30, 2014, the joint venture has incurred approximately $1.4 million of the planned capital expenditures.

The property is secured by a $38.0 million mortgage loan that was refinanced in December 2013 with a four-year, non-recourse loan. The new loan contains a provision that would allow for an additional funding of approximately $4.5 million should we elect to acquire an adjacent property. The mortgage matures in December 2017. The mortgage bears interest at a variable rate; however, in connection with the refinancing, we and MIG IV entered into an interest rate cap agreement that provides for a maximum rate of 3.0% per annum. The interest rate cap was not designated as a hedge for financial reporting purposes, and our portion of the change in fair value is recognized in income (loss) from non-consolidated entities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, our portion of the decrease in fair value totaled $47,000 and $0, respectively, and is included in income (loss) from non-consolidated entities on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Woodlake Pointe - We own a 30% interest in AmREIT Westheimer Gessner, LP, which owns Woodlake Pointe, a multi-tenant retail property located in Houston, Texas with a combined GLA of 82,120 square feet. The remaining 70% is owned by affiliated AmREIT entities, MIG IV (60%) and ARIC (10%). On September 30, 2013, our Woodlake Pointe joint venture sold a 45,000 square foot single-tenant building and land parcel at our Woodlake Pointe property for $12.0 million to an unrelated third party. The land and building were secured by a $6.6 million loan that was repaid in full with proceeds from the sale, and we received a distribution of $1.5 million in connection with this sale.

5433 Westheimer – We own a 57.5% interest in 5433 Westheimer, LP, which owns an office building with 134,000 square feet of GLA in Houston, Texas. The remaining 42.5% is owned by a third party, joint venture partner. The property is not consolidated in our financial statements as we and our joint venture partner share equally in decision-making rights. The property is secured with a five-year term loan in the amount of $8.7 million, including construction draws for the redevelopment of the property. As of September 30, 2014, this loan had an outstanding balance of $8.2 million. On October 18, 2014, our 5433 Westheimer joint venture modified its mortgage loan. Among other things, the modification waived prior non-compliance with its debt covenants through October 18, 2014, modified ongoing debt service operating covenants, extended the term to October 2017 and extended the interest-only payment terms to October 2015. We and our joint venture partner are joint and several guarantors of up to 25% of this debt. See Note 5. While we serve as guarantor on this debt, we do not believe that we would be required to perform under the guarantee as we believe the fair value of the property exceeds the amount of the loan.

Table of Contents

We and our joint venture partner initiated a redevelopment plan, primarily in the form of building and site improvements. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $10.2 million in redevelopment costs have been incurred out of a total expected cost of approximately $11.9 million (including lease-up costs). We and our joint venture partner believe that recent market improvements have made disposition of this property attractive and have begun marketing the property for sale.

The 5433 Westheimer joint venture does not have adequate cash to fund costs needed to prepare the property for sale, and we expect that it will look to us for additional liquidity in the near term. We expect to provide the necessary funding in the form of a promissory note with repayment expected upon disposition of the property. Based upon current estimates of fair value, sufficient equity exists in the property post-renovation to recover our current investment and any future loans to the joint venture. However, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to do so, or under circumstances and timing that allow us to maximize the value of the property.

Woodlake Square - We previously owned a 3% interest in the Woodlake Square property through a joint venture arrangement with affiliates of our General Partner, MIG IV (6% ownership interest), ARIC (1% ownership interest) and an unaffiliated third party institutional partner (the remaining 90% ownership interest). On September 18, 2013, VIF II/AmREIT Woodlake L.P. sold Woodlake Square to AmREIT for $41.6 million based on arms-length negotiations between AmREIT and our third party institutional partner that owned a 90% interest in the property. Our remaining interest at December 31, 2013 represents undistributed sales proceeds.

Combined condensed financial information for our non-consolidated entities, at 100%, is summarized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, as follows (amounts in thousands):


	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,

5.	NOTES PAYABLE

Our outstanding consolidated debt to third party lenders as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows (amounts in thousands):


Notes payable	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Lantern Lane	$	—	$	15,000
Westside Plaza- Note A		8,347		8,954
Westside Plaza- Note B		633		633
Total	$	8,980	$	24,587

During June 2014, the Lantern Lane note payable was repaid in connection with the sale of the property. See Note 3.

The Westside Plaza mortgage loan is secured by our real estate property. On June 6, 2014, we modified the Westside Plaza debt. We made a payment of approximately $1.2 million, which included a $424,000 principal reduction on the Note A balance, a $357,000 payment of principal and interest that was two months in arrears, a $100,000 loan modification fee, $166,000 of escrows related to property taxes, insurance, and anticipated future leasing costs escrow accounts, and $166,000 in other closing and legal fees.

Table of Contents

Under the modified agreement, Note A payments are interest-only at 5.62% and Note B payments are deferred with no interest due until the debt is refinanced or the property is sold (a “capital event”). Upon the occurrence of a capital event, we and the lender will share evenly in any excess proceeds until Note B principal is repaid, after which, we would receive all remaining proceeds. If the proceeds received after a capital event are not sufficient to repay any or all of Note B, the unpaid amount will be forgiven.

We also serve as joint and several guarantors of up to 25% of the $8.2 million mortgage loan held by our 5433 Westheimer joint venture, of which we own 57.5%. The debt matures in 2017. See Note 4. While we serve as guarantor on this debt, we do not believe that we would be required to perform under the guarantee as we believe the fair value of the property exceeds the amount of the loan.


6.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

GAAP emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. GAAP requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. Observable inputs are inputs that the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of ours. When market data inputs are unobservable, we utilize inputs that we believe reflect our best estimate of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified that are within Level 3 of the hierarchy). The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:


	•	Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access.

	•	Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

	•	Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on the Partnership’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

Our consolidated financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, tenant and accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related party, notes receivable, notes payable, notes payable – related party, accounts payable – related party, and accounts payable and other liabilities. The carrying values of all of these financial instruments, except for our notes payable, are representative of their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. In determining the fair value of our debt, we determine the appropriate treasury bill rate based on the remaining time to maturity for each of the debt instruments. We then add the appropriate yield spread to the treasury bill rate. The yield spread is a risk premium estimated by investors to account for credit risk involved in debt financing. The spread is typically estimated based on the property type and loan-to-value ratio of the debt instrument. The result is an estimate of the market interest rate a typical investor would expect to receive given the underlying subject asset (property type) and remaining time to maturity.

The fair value of Note A was approximately $8.5 million and classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2014. As described in Note 5, Note B does not accrue interest and its payment is dependent upon the occurrence and amount of a capital event. Accordingly, we determined the fair value of Note B to be approximately $590,000, using internal estimates of potential proceeds in the event we were to sell the underlying property in the current market. Because the estimates used to determine fair value are not readily observable, we have classified the fair value of Note B in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, we estimated the fair value of our notes payable was $25.0 million and classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

8.	PARTNERS’ CAPITAL AND NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

Distributions – As a result of the sale of our Lantern Lane property, we declared a distribution of $3.7 million to our Limited Partners, which we paid on July 23, 2014. Net cash flow, as defined in the partnership agreement, is distributed among the Limited Partners and the General Partner in the following manner:


	•	first - 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner until such time as the Limited Partners have received cumulative distributions from all sources (including monthly cash distributions during the operating stage of the Partnership) equal to 100% of their unreturned invested capital plus an amount equal to 10% per annum uncompounded on their invested capital;

	•	second - 100% to the General Partner until it has received cumulative distributions from all sources (other than with respect to its Limited Partner units it purchased) in an amount equal to 40% of the net cash flow paid to date to the Limited Partners in excess of their adjusted capital; and

	•	thereafter - 60% to the limited partners and 40% to the General Partner.

On June 25, 2014, we sold our Lantern Lane property to AmREIT. See Note 3.


10.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation - In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. There are no material legal proceedings known to be contemplated against us.

Environmental matters - In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, we may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. In particular, we are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to real estate pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks. We are not aware of any pending environmental proceedings with respect to our properties that would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Certain information presented in this Quarterly Report constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in general economic conditions, changes in real estate market conditions, continued availability of proceeds from our debt or equity capital, our ability to locate suitable tenants for our properties, the ability of tenants to make payments under their respective leases, timing of development starts and sales of properties, the ability to meet development and redevelopment schedules and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it was made, and we undertake no duty or obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time.

OVERVIEW

We are a Texas limited partnership formed to acquire, develop and operate, directly or indirectly through joint venture arrangements, commercial real estate consisting primarily of single-tenant and multi-tenant retail properties. Our Units are not currently listed on a securities exchange, and there currently is no established public trading market for our Units. We do not intend to list our Units on a securities exchange in the future.

Our General Partner is a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of AmREIT, an SEC reporting Maryland corporation that is publicly traded on the NYSE and has elected to be taxed as a REIT. Our General Partner has the exclusive right to manage our business and affairs on a day-to-day basis pursuant to our limited partnership agreement. The Limited Partners have the right to remove and replace our General Partner, with or without cause, by a vote of the Limited Partners owning a majority of the outstanding Units (excluding any Units held by our General Partner). Our General Partner is responsible for all of our investment decisions, including decisions relating to the properties to be developed, the method and timing of financing or refinancing the properties, the selection of tenants, the terms of the leases, the method and timing of the sale of the properties and the reinvestment of net sales proceeds. Our General Partner utilizes the services of AmREIT and its affiliates in performing its duties under our limited partnership agreement.

As of September 30, 2014, our investments included one wholly-owned property comprised of approximately 43,000 square feet of GLA and six properties in which we own a non-controlling interest through joint ventures comprising approximately 985,000 square feet of GLA. A majority of our properties are located in highly populated, suburban communities in Texas. Substantially all of our revenue is derived from rental income from these properties, primarily from net leasing arrangements, where most of the operating expenses of the properties are absorbed by our tenants. As a result, our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by rental income from our properties and interest expense on our property acquisition indebtedness. Rental income accounted for 100% of our total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. As of September 30, 2014, our properties had a weighted average occupancy rate of approximately 84.7%.

On June 25, 2014, we sold our Lantern Lane property to AmREIT for $22.7 million, which resulted in net sales proceeds of approximately $7.4 million after repayment of the mortgage loan secured by the property. We declared a distribution of approximately $3.7 million from the net sales proceeds to our Limited Partners, which we paid on July 23, 2014, and we retained the balance to fund the anticipated capital activities related to our Casa Linda Shopping Center and our 5433 Westheimer property.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Below is a discussion of our results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014, to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013

Revenues. Revenues increased approximately $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. This increase is due to a new tenant at our Westside Plaza property in 2014 and an increase in recovery revenue from common area expenses in 2014 due to higher property taxes.

General and administrative and General and administrative – related party. General and administrative expense decreased approximately $40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease is due to trade conference expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2013 with no such expenses incurred during the same period during 2014.

Asset management fees – related party. Asset management fees – related party increased approximately $29,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. Our asset management fees are calculated based upon the average net value of our assets, which increased as compared to the same period in 2013.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $121,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. This decrease is due to the modification of our Westside Plaza loan. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income (loss) from non-consolidated entities. Loss from non-consolidated entities increased approximately $340,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in loss is due to our portion of the gain recognized from the sale of the Woodlake Square property to AmREIT in 2013 with no corresponding gain in the 2014 comparable period.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued operations increased approximately $118,000 from income of $77,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013, to a loss during the three months ended September 30, 2014. Our loss from discontinued operations during 2014 represents a final sales price adjustment for tenant reimbursements and bad debt expense for our Lantern lane property sold in June of 2014.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014, to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Revenues. Revenues increased approximately $6,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The increase is due to a new tenant at our Westside Plaza property in 2014.

General and administrative and General and administrative – related party. General and administrative expense decreased approximately $58,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease is due to trade conference expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2013 with no such expenses incurred during the same period during 2014.

Asset management fees – related party. Asset management fees – related party increased approximately $90,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. Our asset management fees are calculated based upon the average net value of our assets, which increased as compared to the same period in 2013. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $105,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. This decrease is due to the modification of our Westside Plaza loan.

Table of Contents

Income (loss) from non-consolidated entities. Loss from non-consolidated entities increased $232,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in loss is due to our portion of the gain recognized for the sale of the Woodlake Square property to AmREIT in 2013 with no corresponding gain in the 2014 comparable period.

Gain on sale of real estate acquired for investment. Gain on sale of real estate acquired for investment increased approximately $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The entire increase is attributable to the gain recorded upon the sale of Lantern Lane in June 2014.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On October 18, 2014, our 5433 Westheimer joint venture modified its mortgage loan as part of its plans to dispose of the property. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Among other things, the modification waived prior non-compliance with its debt covenants through October 18, 2014, extended the term to October 2017, extended the interest-only payment terms to October 2015, and modified certain operating covenants.

Our continuing short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, regular debt service requirements and capital expenditures. We anticipate that our primary long-term liquidity requirements will include, but will not be limited to, operating expenses, making scheduled debt service payments, funding renovations, expansions and other significant capital expenditures for our existing portfolio of properties, including those of with our joint ventures.

We and our joint venture partner believe that recent market improvements have made disposition of this property attractive and have begun marketing the property for sale. The 5433 Westheimer joint venture does not have adequate cash to fund costs needed to prepare the property for sale, and we expect that it will look to us for additional liquidity in the near term. We expect to provide the necessary funding in the form of a promissory note with repayment upon disposition of the property. Based upon current estimates of fair value, sufficient equity exists in the property post-renovation to recover our current investment and any future loans to the joint venture. However, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to do so, or under circumstances and timing that allow us to maximize the value of the property.

Although no assurance can be given, we believe that we will be able to generate liquidity sufficient to continue to execute an orderly liquidation of our assets.

Market Conditions

Our operations are sensitive to changes in overall economic conditions that impact our tenants, including market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy, the real estate industry or within the geographic markets where our properties are located. Most of our retail properties were purchased prior to 2008 when retail real estate market prices were much higher, and our property valuations were negatively impacted by these market dynamics. The U.S. economy has improved from the recent severe recession; however, should recessionary conditions return, such conditions could prevent us from maintaining the value of our properties. Even if such conditions do not impact us directly, such conditions could adversely affect our tenants.

Table of Contents

A general reduction in the level of tenant leasing or shifts in tenant leasing practices could adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, our redevelopment projects and future property dispositions. Additionally, if credit markets and/or debt or equity capital markets contract, our ability to obtain financing on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could reduce our ability to refinance existing debt and increase our future interest expense.

Cash Flow Activities for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, are as follows (in thousands):


	Nine months ended September 30,
	2014			2013
Operating activities	$	(395	)	$	626
Investing activities		23,526			2,480
Financing activities		(20,157	)		(5,350	)

Net cash flows used in operating activities increased by $1.0 million from cash provided by operations of $626,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to cash used in operations of $395,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase is primarily due to lower net income, exclusive of the gain on sale of real estate, equity in losses of non-consolidated entities, depreciation and bad debt recoveries of $147,000, increased payments for prepaid and other assets of $168,000 and increased payments of liabilities of $711,000 compared to the same period in 2013.

Net cash flows provided by investing activities increased by $21.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. This increase in cash inflows is primarily due to the sale of Lantern Lane for $22.7 million. This increase was partially offset by lower distributions received from our non-consolidated investments of $2.6 million.

Net cash flows used in financing activities increased by $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. This increase was primarily due to repayment of the $15.0 million Lantern Lane note payable upon sale of the property, as well as an increase in distributions to limited partners of $3.7 million. These increases in financing outflows were partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in payments made during the period on notes payable – related party.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We also serve as guarantor up to 25% of the $8.2 million mortgage loan held by our 5433 Westheimer joint venture, of which we own 57.5%. The debt matures in 2017. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. While we serve as guarantor on this debt, we do not believe that we would be required to perform under the guarantee as we believe the fair value of the property exceeds the amount of the loan, and therefore we believe that our potential exposure is limited to our investment balance.
