1. ORGANIZATION

Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on April 11, 2005 to invest in a diverse portfolio of real property and real estate-related investments. As used herein, the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships, except where the context otherwise requires.

We operate in a manner intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2006, when we first elected REIT status. We utilize an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of our assets through our operating partnership, Dividend Capital Total Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (our “Operating Partnership”). Furthermore, our Operating Partnership wholly owns a taxable REIT subsidiary, DCTRT Leasing Corp. (our “TRS”), through which we execute certain business transactions that might otherwise have an adverse impact on us and/or our status as a REIT if such business transactions were to occur directly or indirectly through our Operating Partnership.

Our day-to-day activities are managed by Dividend Capital Total Advisors LLC (our “Advisor”), an affiliate, under the terms and conditions of an advisory agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Advisory Agreement”). Our Advisor and its affiliates receive various forms of compensation, reimbursements and fees for services relating to the investment and management of our real estate assets.

We have invested in a diverse portfolio of real properties, debt related investments and real estate securities. We primarily seek to invest in real property consisting of office, industrial, retail, multifamily, hospitality and other properties, primarily located in North America. Additionally, we have invested in certain debt related investments, including originating and participating in mortgage loans secured by real estate, junior portions of first mortgages on commercial properties (“B-notes”), mezzanine debt and other related investments as well as real estate securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and commercial real estate collateralized debt obligations (“CRE-CDOs”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (herein referred to as “financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, these statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and related notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 23, 2010.

Principles of Consolidation

Due to our control of our Operating Partnership through our sole general partnership interest and the limited rights of the limited partners, we consolidate our Operating Partnership and limited partner interests not held by us, which are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our financial statements also include the accounts of our consolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures through which we are the primary beneficiary, when such subsidiaries and joint ventures are variable interest entities, or through which we have a controlling interest. In determining whether we have a controlling interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity in which we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.

Judgments made by us with respect to our level of influence or control of an entity and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity involve consideration of various factors, including the form of our ownership interest, the size of our investment (including loans) and our ability to direct the activities of the entity. Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our financial statements and, consequently, our financial position and specific items in our results of operations that are used by our stockholders, lenders and others in their evaluation of us. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we consolidated approximately $790.5 million and $800.4 million, respectively, in real property investments, before accumulated depreciation and amortization of approximately $113.9 million and $92.5 million, respectively, and approximately $491.8 million and $496.2 million, respectively, in mortgage note borrowings associated with our consolidated variable interest entities. The maximum risk of loss related to our investment in these unconsolidated variable interest entities is limited to our recorded net investments in such entities. The creditors of the consolidated variable interest entities do not have recourse to our general credit.

Generally, we consolidate real estate partnerships and other entities that are not variable interest entities when we own, directly or indirectly, a majority voting interest in the entity.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the financial statements corresponding to prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company committed to a plan to dispose of certain investments in real property. As a result, the historical results of these investments are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We adopted a new accounting standard effective January 1, 2010 that revised the guidance on how a reporting entity evaluates whether an entity is a variable interest entity and which entity is considered the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and is, therefore, required to consolidate such variable interest entity. This accounting standard requires assessments at each reporting period of which party within the variable interest entity is considered the primary beneficiary and requires a number of new disclosures related to variable interest entities. Upon our adoption of this accounting standard, we reconsidered our previous consolidation conclusions for all entities with which we are involved pursuant to this accounting pronouncement. There was no impact to our financial position or results of operations as a result of our adoption of this accounting standard.

(the “Sellers”). The aggregate purchase price of the NOIP Portfolio was approximately $1.35 billion, adjusted for closing costs and customary prorations of taxes, operating expenses, leasing costs and other items.

(1) Includes six industrial properties in the Chicago, IL, Central PA, Dallas, TX, Atlanta, GA, and Columbus, OH markets totaling 4.7 million net rentable square feet with a gross investment amount of approximately $173.3 million that had been sold as of September 30, 2010 and one office property in the Silicon Valley, CA market totaling approximately 180,000 net rentable square feet with a gross investment amount of $25.7 million that was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2010.
(2) Gross investment exceeds the purchase price of the NOIP Portfolio due to our allocation of purchase price to intangible lease liabilities and other liabilities acquired as part of the acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio. Specifically, we made a provisional allocation of approximately $55.2 million of the purchase price to intangible lease liabilities, which are not reflected in this table.
(3) We made certain adjustments to the allocated purchase price of properties included in this portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2010, based on additional information obtained.

Upon acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio, the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the properties based on their fair value. The total purchase price of a property is then allocated to land, building, tenant improvements and intangible lease assets and liabilities. The allocation of the total purchase price to land and building is based on our estimate of the property’s as-if vacant fair value. The as-if vacant fair value is calculated by using all available information such as the replacement cost of such asset, appraisals, property condition reports, market data and other related information. The allocation of the total purchase price of a property to an intangible lease asset includes the value associated with the in-place leases, which may include lost rent, leasing commissions, legal and other costs. We record acquired “above-market” and “below-market” leases at their fair value equal to the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and our 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 remaining term of the lease plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal option periods for below-market leases.

As of June 30, 2010, we had made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the NOIP Portfolio to land, building, tenant improvements and intangible lease assets and liabilities. The fair value of the acquired assets is provisional pending determination of the final valuation for those assets. Based on this provisional allocation of the purchase price of the NOIP Portfolio, we attributed approximately $180.5 million to land, approximately $816.5 million to building and improvements, approximately $406.0 million to intangible lease assets and approximately $55.2 million to intangible lease liabilities.

We acquired the NOIP Portfolio using cash on hand and through the incurrence of debt obligations of approximately $858.6 million. For a detailed discussion of these debt obligations see Note 6 to these financial statements. In connection with the acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio, we incurred acquisition costs of approximately $19.1 million, which included an acquisition fee paid to our Advisor of approximately $13.5 million. In addition, we incurred deferred financing costs associated with the debt obligations used to partially finance our acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio of approximately $12.3 million.

Real Property Impairment

We review our investments in real property individually on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when such an evaluation is warranted, to determine their appropriate classification, as well as whether there are indicators of impairment. The investments in real property are either classified as held for sale or held and used.

As of September 30, 2010, 100 of our 102 real properties were classified as held and used. These held and used assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment, which may include, among others, each tenant’s inability to make rent payments, operating losses or negative operating trends at the property level, notification by a tenant that it will not renew its lease, a decision to dispose of a property, including a change in estimated holding periods, or adverse changes in the fair value of any of our properties. If indicators of impairment exist on a held and used asset, we compare the future estimated undiscounted cash flows from the expected use of the property to its net book value to determine if impairment exists. If the sum of the future estimated undiscounted cash flows is greater than the current net book value, we conclude no impairment exists. If the sum of the future estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than its current net book value, we recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the net book value of the property and its estimated fair value. If a property is classified as held for sale, we recognize an impairment loss if the current net book value of the property exceeds its fair value less selling costs. If our assumptions, projections or estimates regarding a property change in the future, we may have to record an impairment charge to reduce or further reduce the net book value of the property.

During the third quarter, we evaluated our portfolio of real properties for impairment. We determined that one of our office properties, located in the Silicon Valley market, was unlikely to generate cash flows during our estimated investment period sufficient to recover our net book basis as of September 30, 2010. The primary factor leading to this determination was a shorter estimated investment period as a result of the fact that on November 1, 2010, one of the two loans secured by this asset matured and we did not repay the $3.2 million principal amount on the loan. The lender has not taken any action against us. We have engaged in conversations with the lender and are seeking a loan modification that would be mutually agreeable to both parties. However, as a result of our review and based on our estimate of future cash flow and fair value of the office property, we recognized an impairment charge of approximately $3.9 million to adjust the carrying value to our estimate of fair value as of September 30, 2010.

Discontinued Operations

Dispositions

As discussed in further detail below, we sold a portfolio of six industrial assets in August 2010. Additionally, we sold three retail properties in September 2010 to complete the sale of a portfolio of four retail properties, and classified two office properties as held for sale as of September 30, 2010. We present the results of operations of the properties sold and classified as held for sale and their respective aggregate net losses and impairments in our accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, collectively, as discontinued operations. Interest expense is included in discontinued operations only if it is directly attributable to these operations or properties.

Goodyear Portfolio Disposition

On August 13, 2010, we completed the sale of a portfolio of six industrial real estate assets comprising approximately 4.7 million net rentable square feet, all of which were leased on a triple-net basis to one tenant, Goodyear Tire & Rubber (the “Goodyear Portfolio”), for $172.5 million. We received net proceeds from the disposition of approximately $169.1 million, which were used to repay approximately $165.7 million of the outstanding principal balance of the NOIP Floating Rate Loan (defined below) and approximately $3.4 million of the outstanding principal balance of the mezzanine loans related to the NOIP Portfolio. We recognized a loss on this sale of approximately $5.5 million, consisting primarily of closing costs, commissions, fees and transfer taxes. The loss on disposition and the operating results of the property are included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 in the accompanying financial statements.

Sovereign Joint Venture Assets Disposition

        On September 27, 2010, we completed the sale of three retail real estate assets comprising approximately 23,000 net rentable square feet, all of which were leased to one tenant (the “Sovereign Portfolio”), for approximately $9.4 million. The Sovereign Portfolio originally included five retail assets when it was purchased in September 2007, and two of these assets were sold prior to the three months ended September 30, 2010. We recognized a loss on the sale of these assets in the three months ended of approximately $219,000, consisting primarily of closing costs, commissions, fees and transfer taxes. The loss on disposition and the operating results of the property are included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 in the accompanying financial statements.

Assets Held for Sale

Cottonwood Drive Office Property

Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we sold an office property located in the Silicon Valley market to a third party. This property was classified as held for sale in the accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 2010. Accordingly, gross investments in real property of $25.2 million specific to this property were presented as assets held for sale and borrowings and other liabilities of $13.5 million were included in liabilities related to assets held for sale. The operating results of the property have been included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 in our accompanying financial statements. Net proceeds of $23.5 million were realized upon completion of this transaction, resulting in a loss of approximately $785,000 primarily comprised of selling costs and expenses, which has been accrued as of September 30, 2010.

Greensboro Office Property

We previously held a mezzanine loan investment that was secured by 100% of the equity of an entity that owned a fee interest in an office property located in the Washington D.C. market (the “Greensboro Office Park”) which was encumbered by a related senior mortgage note with an unpaid principle balance of approximately $108.9 million as of September 30, 2010 with a stated annual interest rate of 6.3%. We had fully reserved the value of the mezzanine loan which had an amortized cost basis of approximately $17.3 million as of June 30, 2010. During the third quarter, we obtained additional information regarding the fair value of the office property and reversed $13.7 million of the provision for loan loss that we had previously recorded. Also during the three months ended September 30, 2010, we foreclosed and took possession of our collateral (i.e. we took ownership of the entity owning the office property). Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we sold the property for a gross purchase price of approximately $125.3 million, transferred the related mortgage debt to an unaffiliated third party and realized net proceeds of $13.7 million. As of September 30, 2010, real property and other assets of $124.1 million specific to this property was presented as assets held for sale, and assumed borrowings and other liabilities of $110.0 million were included in liabilities related to assets held for sale. The operating results of this property during the period of our ownership have been included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 in our accompanying financial statements. Income and expenses attributable to discontinued operations are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following table has been prepared to provide estimated pro forma information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 with regards to our acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio and the related financing, as well as the subsequent disposition of certain assets within the NOIP Portfolio.

Tenant recovery income includes payments from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and is recognized as rental revenue. Tenant recovery income recognized as rental revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $9.5 million and $24.1 million, respectively. For the same periods ended September 30, 2009, tenant recovery income recognized was approximately $7.2 million and $21.5 million, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we received payment of approximately $6.3 million in settlement of contingent receivables of which approximately $6.5 million was estimated and recorded in other assets as of June 30, 2010. These contingencies generally provide us with limited compensation for potential legal costs, capital expenditures, lost rent and certain other leasing-related expenses and incentives in the event that these expenditures are required. The remaining amount is expected to be received in future periods.

4. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE SECURITIES

As of September 30, 2010, the weighted average term remaining until the expected maturity of our CMBS and CRE-CDO investments, based on amounts invested, was approximately 5.5 years. As of September 30, 2010, the weighted average publicly available rating of our CMBS and CRE-CDO securities, as provided by Standard and Poor’s, were approximately B- and CCC-, respectively.

Unrealized Losses

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, one and seven of our real estate securities, respectively, had fair values below their respective amortized costs. As of September 30, 2010, one of our CRE-CDO securities had an unrealized loss of approximately $2.6 million and had been in an unrealized loss position for over 12 months. As of December 31, 2009, five of our CMBS and CRE-CDO securities were in unrealized loss positions of approximately $2.7 million, all of which had been in unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months. In addition, two of our preferred equity securities had unrealized losses of approximately $131,000 as of December 31, 2009, both of which had been in unrealized loss positions for less than 12 months.

        Based upon our intent and ability to hold this real estate security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a forecasted recovery of fair value, the continued performance of the issuer and the underlying collateral, and our assessment, based on all available information considered, that the underlying cash flows will continue to perform in the future, the gross unrealized loss of approximately $2.6 million is considered to be temporary as of September 30, 2010, and, as a result, no additional impairment losses have been recognized.

Other-than-Temporary Impairment

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a net loss of approximately $6.4 million related to other-than-temporary impairment of our real estate securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recorded approximately $5.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively, related to other-than-temporary impairment of our real estate securities. Due to volatility with the credit market and its unpredictable impact for such securities, we determined that we cannot reliably predict the timing and amount of cash flows that we expect to receive related to the majority of our CMBS and CRE-CDO securities. Therefore, we account for such securities under the cost recovery method of accounting. The application of the cost recovery method of accounting requires that we cease to recognize interest income related to these securities until the amortized cost of each respective security is depleted or until we can reliably estimate cash flows, which has resulted in diminished securities income. Once the amortized cost of each security is depleted or we can reasonably estimate cash flows, cash payments will be recorded to interest income, which will result in increased securities income in future periods. Under the cost recovery method of accounting, if the fair value of a security falls below the amortized cost of that security and we do not anticipate that the receipt of near term cash flows will sufficiently reduce the security’s amortized cost below its fair value, then we recognize an other-than-temporary impairment in an amount equal to the difference between that security’s fair value and its amortized cost.

Credit Losses

As of September 30, 2010, we held one CRE-CDO security that was in an unrealized loss position. Since we do not intend to sell this security and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell it before recovery, other-than-temporary impairment write-downs related to this security have been separated into an amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

A credit loss represents the difference between the present value of expected future cash flows and the amortized cost basis of a debt security. As of September 30, 2010, we had recognized approximately $137.6 million in other-than-temporary impairment related to our investments in debt securities. On April 1, 2009, for certain securities, we reclassified approximately $4.0 million in noncredit related other-than-temporary impairment from distributions in excess of earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The following table presents a rollforward of the credit loss component of the amortized cost of debt securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (amounts in thousands).

Disposition of Preferred Equity Securities

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we received proceeds of approximately $14.5 million and $72.9 million, respectively, from the disposition of certain preferred equity securities positions. After other-than-temporary impairment charges of $69.7 million, the adjusted basis of the securities sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $6.9 million and $33.0 million, respectively, resulting in net gains from the disposition of these preferred equity securities of approximately $7.6 million and $39.9 million, respectively. Before other-than-temporary impairment charges, the amount invested in the securities sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $24.0 million and $102.7 million, respectively, resulting in estimated economic losses of approximately $9.5 million and $29.8 million, respectively. We did not dispose of any securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

5. DEBT RELATED INVESTMENTS

As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately $151.0 million, net of loan loss reserves of $3.0 million, in debt related investments. The following table describes our debt related investments as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (dollar amounts in thousands).

Debt Related Investment Activity

Dulles Creek Loan Investment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we invested in a $13.2 million senior mortgage loan secured by an office property located in Washington, DC market (the “Dulles Creek Loan”). The borrower under the Dulles Creek Loan is Brickman Dulles Creek LLC, an affiliate of New York-based Brickman, a private equity real estate sponsor. The Dulles Creek Loan has a term of three years and earns interest at a stated rate of 7.1%.

Liberty Avenue Debt Investment Repayment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we received complete and full repayment of an indirect interest in a debt investment, which was structured as a redeemable preferred equity investment (the “Liberty Avenue Debt Investment”). The repayment of the Liberty Avenue Debt Investment was comprised of a principal repayment of $17.0 million plus an exit fee of approximately $170,000 and the payment of accrued interest of approximately $242,000. This investment was accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated joint venture in our accompanying financial statements.

Provision for loan losses

During 2006, we acquired a debt related investment secured by an office property located in the San Diego, California market (“Seville Plaza”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized approximately $3.0 million in a provision for loss related to this debt related investment in the accompanying financial statements. This provision was entirely related to Seville Plaza and resulted from our assessment that future cash flows from this investment were highly uncertain and that our collateral position had no value. This represents a total provision for the entire carrying amount of this investment as of September 30, 2010. There were no provision losses recognized for our debt related investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Greensboro

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we foreclosed on an office property in the Washington D.C. market that served as the collateral for a mezzanine loan structured debt investment. As of September 30, 2010, we presented the related assets and liabilities as assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale with the related results of operations presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. As of December 31, 2009, we had fully reserved the amortized basis in this debt investment. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we partially reversed a previously recorded provision for loan loss related to this investment, based on our estimation of the increase in the fair value of the underlying collateral. Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we disposed of this property for net proceeds that approximated the fair value of the Greensboro Office Park. See Note 3 for details of our accounting for this investment and additional details.

(1) Amounts presented are net of unamortized discounts to the face value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgages of approximately $5.5 million and $6.2 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
(2) This table excludes debt associated with discontinued operations. As of September 30, 2010, two office properties are classified as held for sale and reported as part of discontinued operations and these properties were encumbered by approximately $11.8 of floating rate mortgage debt bearing an interest rate of approximately 4.50% as of September 30, 2010 and approximately $108.9 million of fixed rate mortgage debt with a stated interest rate of 6.3%.
(3) As of both September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, floating-rate mortgage notes were subject to interest rates at spreads of 1.40% to 3.50% over one-month LIBOR.
(4) As of September 30, 2010, other secured borrowings consisted of mezzanine loan financing obtained from the seller of the NOIP Portfolio.

As of September 30, 2010, 18 mortgage notes were interest only and 26 mortgage notes were fully amortizing with outstanding principal balances of approximately $893.0 million and $595.0 million, respectively. Seven of our mortgage notes with an aggregate outstanding principal balance as of September 30, 2010 of approximately $399.3 million have initial maturities before September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Borrowing activity

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred significant additional borrowings due to our acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio.

(1) Contractual payments during the three months ended September 30, 2010 have reduced outstanding balances on our amortizing loans.
(2) The stated interest rate for floating rate borrowings is based upon the applicable LIBOR rate as of September 30, 2010.
(3) During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we repaid all amounts borrowed under tranches 2 and 3 of our mezzanine loans.
(4) Does not include approximately $11.8 million related to assets held for sale outstanding as of September 30, 2010.

The following discussion provides further detail of the borrowings summarized in the above table. Certain of these borrowings include restrictions, covenants, customary market carve-outs and/or guarantees by us. Certain financial covenants referenced below include tests of our general liquidity and debt servicing capability as well as certain collateral specific performance and valuation ratios. Specifically, we are required by certain of our borrowing arrangements to maintain the following financial covenants: (i) an interest coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00 or higher, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00 or higher, (iii) a leverage ratio not to exceed 75%, (iv) a minimum liquidity of $10.0 million and (v) a minimum tangible net worth of $750.0 million. As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of these financial covenants.

Certain of the borrowings summarized in the above table are subject to customary market carve-outs, which may result in loans becoming recourse to us or our Operating Partnership. Such customary market carve-outs would trigger these recourse provisions generally as a result of actions on our part that would constitute “bad acts” such as fraud, voluntary bankruptcy and/or gross negligence. Certain of the borrowings include limited recourse to us and/or guarantees by us. Such recourse and/or guarantees are limited in nature and should not, in any case, exceed the amount of the outstanding principal borrowings plus any accrued interest payable to the lender and cost related to an event of a default by us.

Harborside and NOIP Fixed Rate Loan

        On June 25, 2010, we entered into two senior mortgage fixed rate amortizing loans to partially finance our acquisition of the National Office and Industrial Portfolio for which we received loan proceeds of $125.0 million from New York Life Insurance Company (the “Harborside Loan”) and $185.0 million from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Bank of America, National Association (the “NOIP Fixed Rate Loan”). The Harborside Loan is secured by one office property included in the National Office and Industrial Portfolio located in the Northern New Jersey market. The Harborside Loan matures in December 2016, includes two one-year extension options, subject to certain provisions and bears interest at 5.50% during the initial term. The Harborside Loan is nonrecourse to us during the initial term of the loan, subject to customary market carve-outs. However, the Harborside Loan may have limited recourse to us during the extension period subject to certain provisions. The NOIP Fixed Rate Loan is secured by 14 office and industrial properties included in the National Office and Industrial Portfolio and matures in July 2020. The NOIP Fixed Rate Loan bears interest at approximately 5.46% and is nonrecourse to us or our Operating Partnership, subject to customary market carve-outs. The Harborside Loan and the NOIP Fixed Rate Loan both contain certain restrictions and covenants that are customary for loans of this nature, including certain restrictions regarding change in control of the underlying collateral and/or borrowers and certain financial covenants with which we and/or the underlying borrowing entities must comply.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we paid a fee of approximately $3.7 million related to a borrowing commitment under the NOIP Fixed Rate Loan that we terminated resulting in a related termination fee. The amount is classified as loss on financing commitments in the accompanying financial statements.

Campus Road Office Center Loan

On June 11, 2010, we entered into a financing agreement with New York Life Insurance Company that is secured by one previously unencumbered office property located in the Princeton, New Jersey market (the “Campus Road Office Center”) for which we received loan proceeds of $35.0 million. This financing consisted of a fixed rate mortgage note that bears interest at 4.75% that is interest only for the first two years and then converts to an amortizing loan. This loan has a contractual maturity in May 2023; however, the expected maturity date of this loan, based on the loan’s underlying structure, is July 2015. This loan is nonrecourse to us or our Operating Partnership, subject to customary market carve-outs. This loan contains restrictions and covenants that are customary for loans of this nature, including certain restrictions regarding change in control of the underlying collateral and/or borrower and certain covenants with which we and/or the underlying borrowing entities must comply.

NOIP Floating Rate Loan

On June 25, 2010, we entered into a senior floating rate loan (the “NOIP Floating Rate Loan”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to partially finance our acquisition of the National Office and Industrial Portfolio. We received loan proceeds of approximately $443.0 million from the NOIP Floating Rate Loan. The NOIP Floating Rate Loan bears interest at 3.5% over the one month LIBOR rate, subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor, resulting in an interest rate of 4.50% as of September 30, 2010. The NOIP Floating Rate Loan is secured by 17 office and industrial properties included in the National Office and Industrial Portfolio. The initial term of the NOIP Floating Rate Loan matures in July 2012 and includes three one-year extension options that are subject to certain provisions for which we must qualify. In addition to standard nonrecourse carve-outs, the NOIP Floating Rate Loan provides for limited recourse to our Operating Partnership. The NOIP Floating Rate Loan contains restrictions and covenants that include certain restrictions regarding change in control of the underlying collateral and/or borrower and certain financial covenants with which we and/or the underlying borrowing entities must comply. Such financial covenants include compliance requirements based upon measurement thresholds related to our net worth and debt service paying capacity. Upon the sale of the Goodyear Portfolio, we repaid approximately $165.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the NOIP Floating Rate Loan.

New England Retail Portfolio Debt Financing

On June 24, 2010, we entered into a financing agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association that is secured by ten previously unencumbered retail real properties located in the New England market for which we received initial loan proceeds of $49.7 million. This financing consists of one interest only, floating rate mortgage note that bears interest at 3.45% over the one month LIBOR rate, subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor, resulting in an interest rate of 4.45% as of September 30, 2010. This loan matures in July 2012 and includes three one-year extension options that are subject to certain provisions for which we must qualify. This loan is nonrecourse to us or our Operating Partnership, subject to customary market carve-outs. This loan contains restrictions and covenants that are customary for loans of this nature, including certain restrictions regarding change in control of the underlying collateral and/or borrower and certain financial covenants with which we and/or the underlying borrowing entities must comply.

Mezzanine Loan Financing

On June 25, 2010, we entered into two mezzanine loans with the Sellers (collectively referred to as the “Mezzanine Loans”) to partially finance our acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio. The Mezzanine Loans totaled approximately $105.6 million and are secured by our equity interests in 31 of the 32 properties included in the NOIP Portfolio. The Mezzanine Loans include (i) a tranche for an amount of $27.0 million that bears interest at approximately 5.46%, requires monthly amortization payments (based upon a 30 year amortization schedule) and matures in June 2020, (ii) a second, interest only, tranche for an amount of approximately $12.4 million that bears interest at a rate of 10.00% for the first 3 years, 12.00% for the 4th through the 7th year, and 13.00% thereafter, and matures in June 2020 and (iii) a third, interest only, tranche for an amount of approximately $66.2 million that bears interest at 10.00% and matures in June 2013. We anticipate that the effective maturity dates for the above tranches will be June 2015, June 2013 and June 2013, respectively, due to the Sellers ability to put the mezzanine loans to us at their option on those dates. The Mezzanine Loans, through the Sellers’ rights to exercise their put option, are enforceable against our Operating Partnership. The Mezzanine Loans contain restrictions and covenants that are customary for loans of this nature, including certain restrictions regarding change in control of the underlying collateral and/or borrower.

        During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we repaid the second and third interest-only tranches of the Mezzanine Loans. As of September 30, 2010, we owed approximately $26.9 million on the amortizing tranche described above. Related to these payoffs, we incurred a loss of approximately $182,000 in early payoff penalties that is classified as loss on financing commitments in the accompanying financial statements.

Repurchase Facility

On June 25, 2010, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours (the “Repo Seller”), entered into a master repurchase and securities contract (the “Repo Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Buyer”). Under the Repo Facility, from time to time during the period ending June 24, 2011, the parties thereto may enter into transactions in which Repo Seller and Buyer agree to transfer from Repo Seller to Buyer all of its rights, title and interest to certain senior mortgage loans and other assets (the “Assets”) against the transfer of funds by Buyer to Repo Seller, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to transfer back to Repo Seller such Assets at a date certain or on demand, against the transfer of funds from Repo Seller to Buyer. Each such transaction is referred to as a “Transaction.” The maximum amount of the Repo Facility is $100.0 million. The maturity date of the Repo Facility is June 2013 unless it is extended pursuant to the two one-year extensions available to the Repo Seller.

Pursuant to the Repo Facility, Repo Seller shall pay Buyer an ongoing price differential, which is based upon the purchase price paid by Buyer to Repo Seller in a given Transaction, at a pricing rate equal to LIBOR plus the applicable spread. The applicable spread will vary per Transaction depending upon the particular Asset transferred from the Repo Seller to the Buyer and the purchase price paid by the Buyer to Repo Seller in exchange for that Asset upon closing of the relevant Transaction.

Pursuant to a guarantee agreement dated as of June 25, 2010 (the “Guarantee Agreement”) among us and our Operating Partnership (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”), and the Buyer, the Guarantors have unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed to Buyer the punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following: (a) all payment obligations owing by Repo Seller to Buyer under or in connection with the Repo Facility and any other governing agreements and any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the forgoing; (b) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by Buyer in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of the Guarantors; and (c) any other obligations of Repo Sellers with respect to Buyer under each of the governing documents. Notwithstanding these guarantees, unless certain breaches occur, there is a cap that limits the amount we have guaranteed to pay based on the value of the Asset transferred.

The Repo Facility contains various customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default and other customary provisions contained in repurchase agreements.

In connection with the Repo Seller’s entry into the Repo Facility, on June 25, 2010, Repo Seller transferred to Buyer three of our senior mortgage debt investments for proceeds of approximately $61.5 million under the Repo Facility, and the weighted average pricing rate associated with these Transactions was initially set at LIBOR plus 334 basis points, resulting in an all-in rate as of September 30, 2010 of 3.60%.

This transaction is treated as a debt financing transaction, as we (the seller), can cause the buyer to return the assets sold at any time during the life of the Repo Facility.

The following table sets forth contractual scheduled maturities of our mortgage notes and related details, including mortgage notes that may be subject to certain extension options, as of September 30, 2010 (dollar amounts in thousands).

(2) Of the outstanding principal balances of mortgage notes maturing in 2010 and 2011, approximately $46.5 million are subject to extensions options beyond December 31, 2011 and approximately $16.3 million of our mortgage notes have maturity dates that cannot be extended beyond December 31, 2011. Mortgage notes that are subject to extension options are also subject to certain lender covenants and restrictions that we must meet to extend the initial maturity date. We currently cannot assert with any degree of certainty that we will qualify for these extensions upon the initial maturity date of these mortgage notes.

7. HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

        We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations. We generally seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows by selectively utilizing derivative instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. While this hedging strategy is designed to minimize the impact on our net income (loss) and cash provided by operating activities from changes in interest rates, the overall returns on our investments may be reduced. Our board of directors has established policies and procedures regarding our use of derivative instruments for hedging or other purposes to achieve these risk management objectives.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps and caps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium payment. In connection with the borrowing activity noted in Note 6, we entered into and plan to enter into certain interest rate derivatives with the goal of mitigating our exposure to adverse fluctuations in the interest payments on our one-month LIBOR-indexed debt.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815 (“ASC Topic 815”) is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the next 12 months, we estimate that approximately $2.6 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense related to terminated hedges of fixed rate debt issuances, and we estimate that approximately $132,000 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense related to active hedges of floating rate debt issuances. The term of the fixed rate debt issuances will mature during 2018 and 2019, and the term of the floating rate issuances will mature beginning in 2011 and continue into 2013. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The table below presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of our accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the effective portion of our cash flow hedges as presented on our financial statements (amounts in thousands).

Designated Hedges

As of September 30, 2010, we had three outstanding interest rate caps and two outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, with a total notional amount of $126.4 million. As of December 31, 2009, we had one outstanding interest rate cap that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk with a notional amount of $46.5 million, which matured in June 2010.

Undesignated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to hedge our exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet hedge accounting requirements. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings and resulted in a loss of approximately $170,000 and $282,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, we had one outstanding interest rate cap that was not designated as a hedge with a notional amount of approximately $336.0 million. This interest rate cap was recorded as an asset on financial statements with a fair value of approximately $36,000. As of December 31, 2009, we had one outstanding interest rate collar that was not designated as a hedge with a notional amount of $9.7 million and a fair value of approximately $28,000 recorded as a liability. The collar matured during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

8. THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP’S PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

Prior to December 31, 2009, our Operating Partnership offered undivided tenancy-in-common interests in real property and beneficial interests in Delaware Statutory Trusts that own real property (hereinafter referred to collectively as “fractional interests”) to accredited investors in private placements. In 2009, our Operating Partnership discontinued the private placements of fractional interests. The proceeds from the sale of these fractional interests are accounted for as financing obligations in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to ASC Topic 840, Accounting for Leases. Our Operating Partnership has 100% leased the properties sold to investors, and in accordance with ASC Topic 840, rental payments made pursuant to such leases to investors are accounted for generally as interest expense using the interest method, whereby a portion is accounted for as interest expense and a portion is accounted for as an accretion or amortization of the outstanding principal balance of the financing obligations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred rent obligations of approximately $900,000 and $4.0 million, respectively, under our lease agreements with the investors who had participated in our Operating Partnership’s private placements. During the same periods in 2009, we incurred rent obligations of approximately $1.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively, under our lease agreements with the investors who had participated in our Operating Partnership’s private placements. The various lease agreements in place as of September 30, 2010 contained expiration dates ranging from June 2019 to November 2037.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we exercised our option to acquire, at fair value, approximately $47.3 million of previously sold fractional interests in two retail properties for approximately 4.7 million OP Units issued at a price of $10.00 per OP Unit in accordance with the purchase option agreement. The result of this activity was a net decrease in our financing obligations of approximately $47.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and an increase in noncontrolling interest of approximately $43.3 million. This increase in noncontrolling interest was comprised of approximately $47.3 million in gross fractional interests acquired, less approximately $4.0 of unamortized upfront costs associated with these fractional interest that were previously accounted for as deferred loan costs.

Fair Value Estimates of Investments in Real Estate Securities

Our real estate securities are valued in two categories, comprised of preferred equity securities, and CMBS and CRE-CDOs. Our pricing procedures for each of the two categories are applied to each specific investment within their respective categories.

Preferred Equity Securities—The valuation of our investments in preferred equity securities is determined using exchange-listed prices in an active market. As such, preferred equity securities fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

CMBS and CRE-CDOs—We estimate the fair value of our CMBS and CRE-CDO securities using a combination of observable market information and unobservable market assumptions. Observable market information considered in these fair market valuations include benchmark interest rates, interest rate curves, credit market indexes and swap curves. Unobservable market assumptions considered in the determination of the fair market valuations of our CMBS and CRE-CDO investments include market assumptions related to discount rates, default rates, prepayment rates, reviews of trustee or investor reports and nonbinding broker quotes and pricing services in what is currently an inactive secondary market. Additionally, we consider security-specific characteristics in determining the fair values of our CMBS and CRE-CDO investments, which include consideration of credit enhancements, the underlying collateral’s average default rates, the average delinquency rate and loan-to-value and several other characteristics. As a result, both Level 2 and Level 3 inputs are used in arriving at the valuation of our investments in CMBS and CRE-CDOs. We consider the Level 3 inputs considered in determining the fair value of its investments in CMBS and CRE-CDO securities to be significant. As such, all investments in CMBS and CRE-CDO securities fall under the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized provision losses related to one of our debt related investments in the accompanying financial statements. This provision was entirely related to one B-note debt investment and we recorded a complete loss for the debt investment based on our determination that future cash flows from this investment were highly uncertain and that there was no fair value attributable to the debt investment as of September 30, 2010. Our estimate of the fair value of this debt investment was made primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying collateral that was comprised of unobservable market assumptions and market data. Such assumptions considered factors such as market leasing rates, prospects for lease renewal, acquisition of new tenants, the incurrence of possible capital expenditures, consideration of the in-place financing structure, comparable sales of similar properties and/or debt investments, transaction costs and the potential for additional financing and/or refinancing. We consider the Level 3 inputs used in determining the fair value of this debt investment to be significant. As such, this investment falls under the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized an impairment loss related to one of our operating office properties of approximately $3.9 million. We recorded the impairment loss based on our determination that the carrying amount of the asset was greater than the related expected undiscounted future cash flows as of September 30, 2010. Our estimate of the fair value of the property was made based primarily on unobservable market assumptions and data, including comparable sales of similar properties and other assumptions that are similar to those discussed above in the measurement of provision losses for our debt investments. We consider the Level 3 inputs used in determining the fair value of this office property to be significant. As such, this property falls under the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We are required to disclose the fair value of our financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate the value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which such financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. For certain of our financial instruments, fair values are not readily available since there are no active trading markets as characterized by current exchanges between willing parties. Accordingly, we derive our estimated fair value using various valuation techniques, such as computing the present value of estimated future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. However, the determination of estimated cash flows may be subjective and imprecise and changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In that regard, the fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, and in many cases, may not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. See Note 9 for further discussion of our determination of fair values in inactive markets and the corresponding application of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values estimated below are indicative of certain interest rate and other assumptions as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and may not take into consideration the effects of subsequent interest rate or other assumption fluctuations, or changes in the values of underlying collateral. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. In addition, we determined that the fair value of our other secured borrowings approximate their carrying values as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our other financial instruments as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands).

See Note 9 for details regarding methodologies and key assumptions applied to determining the fair value of our investments in real estate securities and derivative liabilities. The methodologies used and key assumptions made to estimate fair values of the other financial instruments described in the above table are as follows:

Debt Related Investments — The fair value of our debt investments as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that utilized estimates of scheduled cash flows and discount rates estimated to approximate those that a willing buyer and seller might use. Our estimate of such discount rates are based on unobservable Level 3 inputs, which we have determined to be our best estimate of current market rates of similar instruments.

Mortgage Notes — The fair value of our fixed-rate and floating-rate mortgage notes as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on our estimate of market interest rates. Credit spreads relating to the underlying instruments are based on unobservable Level 3 inputs, which we have determined to be our best estimate of current market spreads of similar instruments.

11. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Our noncontrolling interests consist of three components: (i) joint venture partnership interests held by our partners, (ii) OP Units held by third parties and our Advisor and (iii) special units held by the parent of our Advisor. The following table summarizes noncontrolling interest balances as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 in terms of cumulative contributions, distributions and cumulative allocations of net income (loss) (amounts in thousands).

OP Units

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we owned approximately 94.0% and 96.3% of our Operating Partnership, respectively, and the remaining interests in our Operating Partnership were owned by third-party investors and our Advisor. After a period of one year from the date of issuance, holders of OP Units may request the Operating Partnership to redeem their OP Units. We have the option of redeeming the OP Units with cash, shares of our common stock, or with a combination of cash and shares of our common stock.

In May 2005, our Operating Partnership issued 20,000 OP Units to our Advisor for gross proceeds of $200,000, which represented less than a 0.1% ownership interest in our Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2010. In addition, as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our Operating Partnership had issued approximately 11.7 million and 7.0 million OP Units, respectively, to third-party investors in connection with its private placement offerings, and such units had a maximum approximate redemption value of $117.1 million based on the most recent selling price of our common stock pursuant to a primary offering. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our Operating Partnership issued approximately 4.7 million OP units.

12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

We have raised equity capital through selling shares of our common stock pursuant to two public offerings and reinvestment of dividends by our stockholders through our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP Plan”). We terminated our primary public offering in 2009. We have and intend to continue to offer shares of common stock through our DRIP Plan. The following table summarizes shares sold, gross proceeds received and the commissions and fees paid by offering as of September 30, 2010 (amounts in thousands).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, approximately 4.2 million shares of our common stock were issued in connection with the DRIP Plan for net proceeds of approximately $40.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we redeemed approximately 4.1 million shares of common stock pursuant to our share redemption program for a total repurchase amount of approximately $39.4 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we declared distributions to our common stockholders of approximately $27.6 million and $82.8 million, respectively. Of these amounts, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, approximately $15.1 million and $44.0 million, respectively, were paid or payable in cash and approximately $12.5 million and $38.8 million, respectively, were reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP Plan. For the same periods in 2009, we declared distributions to our common stockholders of approximately $26.7 million and $76.7 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $13.0 million and $36.4 million, respectively, was paid in cash and approximately $13.7 million and $40.3 million, respectively, was reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP Plan.

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our Advisor

        Our day-to-day activities are managed by our Advisor, under the terms and conditions of the Advisory Agreement. Our Advisor is considered to be a related party as certain indirect owners and employees of our Advisor serve as our executives. The responsibilities of our Advisor include, among other things, the selection and underwriting of our real property, debt related investments and real estate securities, the negotiations for these investments, the asset management and financing of these investments and the selection of prospective joint venture partners. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we owed approximately $34,000 and $35,000, respectively, to our Advisor and affiliates of our Advisor for such services and reimbursement of certain expenses.

Acquisition Fees

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we pay certain acquisition fees to the Advisor. For each real property acquired in the operating stage, the acquisition fee is an amount equal to 1.0% of our proportional interest in the purchase price of the property. For each real property acquired prior to or during the development or construction stage, the acquisition fee will be an amount not to exceed 4.0% of the total project cost (which will be the amount actually paid or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of a property exclusive of acquisition fees and acquisition expenses). The Advisor also is entitled to receive an acquisition fee of 1.0% of the principal amount in connection with the origination or acquisition of any type of debt investment including, but not limited to, the origination of mortgage loans, B-notes, mezzanine debt, participating debt (including with equity-like features), non-traded preferred securities, convertible debt, hybrid instruments, equity instruments and other related investments. However, to the extent that such debt investments are originated or acquired pursuant to our agreement with our debt advisor, (defined below) such acquisitions fees may differ. See the section below titled “The Debt Advisor” for further discussion of these fees. Approximately $0 and $14.0 million in acquisition fees were earned by the Advisor during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, primarily related to the acquisition of the National Office and Industrial Portfolio. During the same period in 2009, our Advisor earned approximately $650,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, in acquisition fees.

Asset Management Fees

We also pay our Advisor an asset management fee pursuant to the Advisory Agreement in connection with the asset and portfolio management of real property, debt related investments and real estate securities. The Advisor’s asset management fee is payable as follows:

Prior to the Dividend Coverage Ratio Date (as defined below):

For Direct Real Properties (as defined below), the asset management fee consists of (i) a monthly fee of one-twelfth of 0.50% of the aggregate cost (before noncash reserves and depreciation) of Direct Real Properties and (ii) a monthly fee of 6% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all Direct Real Properties provided; however, that the aggregate monthly fee to be paid to the Advisor pursuant to these subclauses (i) and (ii) in aggregate shall not exceed one-twelfth of 0.75% of the aggregate cost (before noncash reserves and depreciation) of all Direct Real Properties.

For Product Specialist Real Properties (as defined below), the asset management fee consists of (i) a monthly fee of one-twelfth of 0.50% of the aggregate cost (before noncash reserves and depreciation) of Product Specialist Real Properties and (ii) a monthly fee of 6% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all Product Specialist Real Properties.

After the Dividend Coverage Ratio Date (as defined below):

For all real properties, the asset management fee consists of: (i) a monthly fee of one-twelfth of 0.50% of the aggregate cost (before noncash reserves and depreciation) of all real property assets within our portfolio and (ii) a monthly fee of 8.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real property assets within our portfolio.

Direct Real Properties”: shall mean those real properties acquired directly by us without the advice or participation of a product specialist engaged by the Advisor.

Dividend Coverage Ratio”: shall mean, as to any given fiscal quarter, the total amount of distributions made by us in that fiscal quarter divided by the aggregate funds from operations for that fiscal quarter.

Dividend Coverage Ratio Date”: shall be the date on which our dividend coverage ratio has been less than or equal to 1.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Product Specialist Real Properties”: shall mean those real properties acquired by us pursuant to the advice or participation of a product specialist engaged by the Advisor pursuant to a contractual arrangement.

In addition, both before and after the Dividend Coverage Ratio Date, the asset management fee for all real property assets (acquired both prior to and after the Dividend Coverage Ratio Date) includes a fee of 1.0% of the sales price of individual real property assets upon disposition. To date, we have not met the Dividend Coverage Ratio threshold. As such, as of September 30, 2010, we have and continue to pay our Advisor asset management fees pursuant to the asset management fee structure applicable to us prior to the Dividend Coverage Ratio Date.

For debt related investments, other than Debt Advisor (defined below) debt related investments, and securities investments, both before and after the Dividend Coverage Ratio Date, the asset management fee consists of a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of (i) the amount invested in the case of our debt related assets within our portfolio and (ii) the aggregate value, determined at least quarterly, of our real estate-related securities.

We have agreed to pay our Advisor certain acquisition and asset management fees that differ from the fee structure discussed above to facilitate the acquisition and management of certain debt investments that we may acquire pursuant to a product specialist agreement that our Advisor has entered into with the Debt Advisor (defined below). See the section below entitled “The Debt Advisor” for additional details of this agreement and the corresponding fee structure.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, our Advisor earned approximately $5.5 million and $13.5 million in asset management fees, respectively. For the same period in 2009, our Advisor earned approximately $3.4 million and $9.5 million in asset management fees, respectively. These amounts are inclusive of asset management fees earned on assets classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009. In addition, our Advisor earned asset management fees associated with the disposition of real properties of approximately $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our Advisor did not earn any fees associated with the disposition of real property during the same periods in 2009.

Other Expense Reimbursements

We are also obligated, subject to certain limitations, to reimburse our Advisor for certain expenses incurred on our behalf for providing services contemplated in the Advisory Agreement (the Advisor utilizes its employees to provide such services and in certain instances that includes our named executive officers) provided that the Advisor does not receive a specific fee for the activities that generate the expenses to be reimbursed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred approximately $350,000 and $991,000, respectively, of these expenses, which we reimbursed to the Advisor. We record these reimbursements as general and administrative expenses in our financial statements. For the same period in 2009, we incurred approximately $147,000 and $531,000, respectively, of these expenses.

Product Specialists

In addition to utilizing its own management team, the Advisor has formed strategic alliances with recognized leaders in the real estate and investment management industries. These alliances are intended to allow the Advisor to leverage the organizational infrastructure of experienced real estate developers, operators and investment managers and to potentially give us access to a greater number of real property, debt related and real estate securities investment opportunities. The use of product specialists or other service providers does not eliminate or reduce the Advisor’s fiduciary duty to us. The Advisor retains ultimate responsibility for the performance of all of the matters entrusted to it under the Advisory Agreement.

The Advisor’s product specialists are and will be compensated through a combination of (i) reallowance of acquisition, disposition, asset management and/or other fees paid by us to the Advisor and (ii) potential profit participation in connection with specific portfolio asset(s) identified by them and invested in by us. We may enter into joint ventures or other arrangements with affiliates of the Advisor to acquire, develop and/or manage real properties. As of September 30, 2010, our Advisor had entered into joint venture and/or product specialist arrangements with two current affiliates (Dividend Capital Investments LLC and FundCore LLC) and one former affiliate (DCT Industrial Trust Inc.), as discussed below in more detail.

Dividend Capital Investments LLC

On June 12, 2006, our Advisor entered into a product specialist agreement with Dividend Capital Investments LLC (“DCI”), in connection with investment management services related to our investments in real estate securities assets. Pursuant to this agreement, a portion of the asset management fee that our Advisor receives from us related to real estate securities investments is reallowed to DCI in exchange for services provided.

The Debt Advisor

        In August 2009, the Advisor entered into a product specialist agreement (the “Debt Advisor PSA”) with FundCore Finance Group LLC (the “Debt Advisor”), an entity formed by affiliates of Hudson River Partners Real Estate Investment Management L.P. (“HRP”) and certain affiliates of the Advisor. Pursuant to the Debt Advisor PSA, the Debt Advisor has the right to perform acquisition and asset management services with respect to up to $130 million (plus any available leverage) of certain debt investments to be made by us. On August 5, 2009, the Advisor also entered into another product specialist agreement (the “HRP PSA”) with HRP. Pursuant to the HRP PSA, HRP has the right to perform the acquisition and asset management services with respect to up to $20 million (plus any available leverage) of certain debt investments to be made by us.

We amended our advisory agreement with respect to the timing and amount of certain fees paid for acquisition and asset management services related to certain debt investments that will be provided by the Debt Advisor. The following is a summary of fees that will be paid to our Advisor related to the acquisition and management of such debt investments.

Debt Investment Acquisition Fees

For debt investments acquired pursuant to the Debt Advisor PSA discussed above, the Advisor will receive an acquisition fee equal to the sum of:

 

  (i) 1.0% of the relevant debt investment amount,

 

  (ii) any origination or similar fees paid by the applicable borrower at the time the debt investment is made (not to exceed 1.50% of the net debt investment amount), and

 

  (iii) an amount equal to the discounted present value (using a discount rate of 15%) of 1.0% per annum of the net debt investment amount (taking into account any anticipated principal amortization) for a period of time equal to the lesser of the term of the debt investment (excluding extension option years) or four years (collectively referred to as the “Initial Term”). This fee is reduced by the amount payable by borrowers pursuant to clause (ii) above.

The total acquisition fee and acquisition expenses shall not exceed 6.0% of the net debt investment amount. The acquisition fee shall be payable on the closing date of the relevant debt investment and will be reallowed in full by our Advisor to the Debt Advisor pursuant to the Debt Advisor PSA.

Debt Investment Asset Management Fees

For debt investments acquired pursuant to the Debt Advisor PSA discussed above, the Advisor will receive asset management fees pursuant to the following:

 

  (i) during the first 12 months after the closing of the respective debt investment, the Advisor shall receive a monthly asset management fee consisting of one-twelfth of the total amount, if any, by which the sum of the total acquisition fees and expenses exceeds 6.0% of the relevant net debt investment amount;

 

  (ii) during the balance of the Initial Term, zero; and

 

  (iii) during any period following the Initial Term during which the relevant debt investment is outstanding, the asset management fee will consist of a monthly fee of one-twelfth of 1.0% of the net debt investment amount.

As of September 30, 2010, we had acquired two debt related investments pursuant to our arrangement with the Debt Advisor with a carrying amount of approximately $17.0 million and paid an acquisition fee of approximately $610,000 to our Advisor, which was fully reallowed to FundCore LLC.

In addition, HRP earned a fee of $1.0 million in connection with services it rendered to us in obtaining financing for our acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio, which we paid subsequent to closing.

DCT Industrial Trust Inc.

Our Advisor has entered into certain product specialist agreements with DCT Industrial Trust Inc. (“DCT”), a former affiliate of ours, in connection with acquisition and asset management services related to our industrial real property investments. Pursuant to these agreements, a portion of the acquisition and asset management fees that our Advisor receives from us related to specific industrial real property investments is reallowed to DCT in exchange for services provided.

In June 2007, DCT Joint Venture I LLC incurred a secured $16.0 million 6.0% interest note, maturing with one balloon payment in July 2014 to DCT. Interest is due monthly on the unpaid balance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized interest expense from this mortgage note of approximately $241,000 and $722,000, respectively. For the same period in 2009, we recognized interest expense from this mortgage note of approximately $241,000 and $722,000, respectively.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have three business segments, which are real property, debt related investments and real estate securities. We organize and analyze the operations and results of each of these segments independently, due to inherently different considerations for each segment. Such considerations include, but are not limited to, the nature and characteristics of the investment, investment strategies and objectives and distinct management of each segment. The following table sets forth components of net operating income (“NOI”) of our segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 (amounts in thousands).

We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental financial performance measure, because NOI reflects the specific operating performance of our real properties, debt related investments and real estate securities, and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of each property, such as interest income, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, asset management fees, interest expense and noncontrolling interests. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance as a whole, since it does exclude such items that could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. Therefore, we believe net income, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall financial performance.

The following table is a reconciliation of our NOI to our reported net income (loss) from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 (amounts in thousands).

16. LITIGATION

On July 14, 2010, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (“Northrop”), filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia against iStar NG, LP, TRT Acquisitions, LLC, TRT NOIP Colshire - McLean LLC, and Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc. (together, the “Dividend Capital Defendants”) and iStar Financial Inc. (“iStar Financial” and, together with Dividend Capital Defendants, the “Defendants”). Northrop’s Complaint pertains to a real estate project containing two commercial office buildings and a parking garage located at 7555-7575 Colshire Drive in McLean, Virginia (the “Project”). TRT NOIP Colshire - McLean LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc., acquired iStar NG LP as part of the National Office and Industrial Portfolio which was acquired from several subsidiaries of iStar Financial on June 25, 2010. Northrop, a holder of a leasehold interest in the Project, alleges that iStar Financial and the Dividend Capital Defendants knowingly completed the sale of the Project (rather than a sale of the owner of the Project, iStar NG LP). Northrop’s Complaint claims that the alleged sale of the Project violated Northrop’s right of first offer (“ROFO”) contained in the relevant deed of lease. Northrop’s Complaint seeks specific performance of the ROFO, other injunctive relief, compensatory damages in the amount of $250 million, $350,000 in punitive damages, treble damages under the Virginia Business Conspiracy Statute, costs, and attorneys’ fees. On August 10, 2010, Defendants filed with the Fairfax County Circuit Court papers seeking dismissal of Northrop’s Complaint as a matter of law. These are scheduled to be heard on December 17, 2010. In addition to defending Northrop’s Complaint generally and asserting counterclaims, the Dividend Capital Defendants have obtained indemnities from iStar Financial and insurance coverage that are subject to certain terms, conditions, and limitations. The Dividend Capital Defendants have asserted counterclaims against Northrop based in part on Northrop’s intentional interference with the sale of the Project, its interference with contracts and prospective contracts, and its breach of the contract between iStar NG and Northrop. The Dividend Capital Defendants seek specific performance, damages in an amount yet to be determined, costs, and attorneys’ fees.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Disposition of Real Properties

Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we sold an office property in the Washington D.C. market that we had previously accounted for as a debt investment and have included in our accompanying financial statements as an asset held for sale, to a third party buyer. The related debt investment had an amortized basis to us of approximately $17.3 million, prior to a provision for loan loss of approximately $17.3 million. As of September 30, 2010, we had reversed approximately $13.7 million of our previously recognized provision for loan loss, and recorded the real property at its fair value of approximately $125.3 million, and recorded the senior mortgage note and other liabilities of $110.0 million. Net proceeds from the sale of this property were approximately $13.7 million, after selling costs of approximately $2.4 million.

        In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2010, we sold an office property acquired with the NOIP Portfolio aggregating approximately 180,000 net rentable square feet in the Silicon Valley market to an unaffiliated third party buyer for a sales price of approximately $24.1 million. This property is classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2010, with the related results of operations classified as discontinued operations in our accompanying financial statements. Net proceeds of $23.5 million were realized upon completion of this transaction, resulting in an unrealized loss of approximately $785,000 primarily comprised of selling costs and expenses, which we had accrued as of September 30, 2010. Upon the sale of this property, we paid down approximately $14.1 million of outstanding borrowings under the NOIP Floating Rate Loan.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our future capital expenditures, distributions and acquisitions (including the amount and nature thereof), other development trends of the real estate industry, business strategies, and the growth of our operations. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “continue,” or the negative of these words, or other similar words or terms. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Among the factors that may cause our results to vary are general economic and business (particularly real estate and capital market) conditions being less favorable than expected, the business opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by us, changes in laws or regulations (including changes to laws governing the taxation of REITs), risk of acquisitions, availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, availability of capital (debt and equity), interest rate fluctuations, competition, supply and demand for properties in our current and any proposed market areas, tenants’ ability to pay rent at current or increased levels, accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to REITs, environmental, regulatory and/or safety requirements, tenant bankruptcies and defaults, the availability and cost of comprehensive insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. For a further discussion of these factors and other risk factors that could lead to actual results materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Commission on March 23, 2010. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.

This section of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q provides an overview of what management believes to be the key elements for understanding (i) our company and how we manage our business, (ii) how we measure our performance and our operating results, (iii) our liquidity and capital resources, and (iv) the financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on April 11, 2005 to invest in a diverse portfolio of real property and real estate-related investments. As used herein, the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships, except where the context otherwise requires.

We operate in a manner intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2006, when we first elected REIT status. We utilize an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of our assets through our operating partnership, Dividend Capital Total Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (our “Operating Partnership”). Furthermore, our Operating Partnership wholly owns a taxable REIT subsidiary, DCTRT Leasing Corp. (our “TRS”), through which we execute certain business transactions that might otherwise have an adverse impact on us and/or our status as a REIT if such business transactions were to occur directly or indirectly through our Operating Partnership.

The primary source of our revenue and earnings is comprised of rent received from customers under long-term (generally three to ten years) operating leases of our properties, including reimbursements from tenants for certain operating costs and interest payments from our debt related investments. Our primary expenses include rental expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, general and administrative expenses, asset management fees and interest expense.

We are an externally managed REIT and have no employees. Our day-to-day activities are managed by Dividend Capital Total Advisors LLC (our “Advisor”), an affiliate, under the terms and conditions of an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Our Advisor and its affiliates receive or have received various forms of compensation, reimbursements and fees for services relating to our public and private offerings and for the investment and management of our real estate assets.

Table of Contents

 

The cornerstone of our investment strategy is to provide investors seeking a general real estate allocation with a broadly diversified portfolio of assets. Our targeted investments include:

 

  1. Direct investments in real properties, consisting of office, industrial, retail, multifamily, hospitality and other properties, primarily located in North America;

 

  2. Certain debt related investments, including originating and participating in whole mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate, B-notes, mezzanine debt and other related investments; and

 

  3. Investments in real estate securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and commercial real estate collateralized debt obligations (“CRE-CDOs”) and similar investments.

We closed our primary offering of common shares in September of 2009, which marked the completion of our initial capital raising stage through which we raised approximately $2.0 billion in gross proceeds and after fees, commissions and reimbursements, we realized approximately $1.8 billion in net proceeds from both our offering of common stock and fractional interests. Since our inception, we have been actively seeking investments for our capital and with the acquisition of the National Office and Industrial Portfolio (discussed below) we have substantially invested all the capital raised to date. However, to a lesser extent, we will continue to seek investment opportunities that complement our existing portfolio and evaluate certain existing investments to monetize such investments at what believe to be attractive prices. We have endeavored since our initial investments to, and will continue to actively manage our portfolio in order to drive growth within our existing investments.

As of September 30, 2010, we had total gross investments of approximately $3.0 billion (before accumulated depreciation of approximately $213.1 million), comprised of:

 

  (1) 100 operating properties located in 31 geographic markets in the United States, aggregating approximately 19.3 million net rentable square feet (excludes two assets held for sale totaling 675,000 net rentable square feet and aggregate gross investment of $149.3 million). Our operating real property portfolio includes an aggregate gross investment amount of approximately $2.9 billion and consists of:

 

   

38 office properties located in 16 geographic markets, totaling approximately 7.3 million net rentable square feet, with an aggregate gross investment amount of approximately $1.7 billion;

 

   

31 industrial properties located in 17 geographic markets, totaling approximately 9.0 million net rentable square feet, with an aggregate gross investment amount of approximately $487 million; and

 

   

31 retail properties located in 7 geographic markets, totaling approximately 3.0 million net rentable square feet, with an aggregate gross investment amount of approximately $703.1 million.

 

  (2) Approximately $151.0 million in net debt related investments, including (a) investments in mortgage notes of approximately $82.1 million, (b) investments in B-notes of approximately $48.9 million and (c) investments in mezzanine debt of approximately $20.0 million.

 

  (3) Approximately $730,000 in real estate securities comprised of CMBS and CRE-CDO investments.

Consistent with our investment strategy, we have three business segments: (i) real property, (ii) debt related investments and (iii) real estate securities. For a discussion of our business segments and the associated revenue and net operating income by segment, see Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements (herein referred to as “financial statements”) included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Any future and near-term investment activity is expected to be funded primarily through the use of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, proceeds from our DRIP plan, proceeds from the sale of existing investments, and the issuance and assumption of debt obligations.

 

   

Cash on hand—As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately $98.8 million of cash and cash equivalents.

 

   

Cash generated from operations—During the third quarter, we generated approximately $9.2 million from operations of our real properties and income from debt related investments.

 

   

Proceeds from our DRIP plan—During the third quarter, we received approximately $13.0 million in proceeds from our DRIP plan.

 

   

Proceeds from sales of existing investments—During the third quarter, we sold nine properties for total proceeds of $178.5 million.

 

   

The issuance and assumption of debt obligations—As of September 30, 2010, we had total debt obligations of approximately $1.6 billion comprised of approximately $1.5 billion of mortgage notes and $88.5 million of other secured borrowings outstanding.

We believe that our existing cash balance, cash generated from operations, proceeds from our DRIP plan, our ability to sell investments and to issue debt obligations, remains adequate to meet our expected capital obligations for the next twelve months. Maintaining a strong cash balance remains critical in the current market to position us well in order for us to preserve the value of our portfolio and to take advantage of investment opportunities. Historically, we have been prudent in the deployment of our capital, resulting in a slower pace of investments. This resulted in us carrying higher cash balances over the past couple of years, which in turn diluted our goal of funding the payment of quarterly distributions to our investors entirely from our operations over time. With the recent investment in the National Office and Industrial Portfolio, we have made significant progress towards this goal and we believe that this investment will continue to have a positive impact on our operating results.

Principal Business Risks

In our view, there are several principal near-term business risks we face in achieving our business objectives.

 

   

The risk that the economy is slow to recover or a so called “double-dip” recession in the economy could have a materially adverse impact on our operations. This could manifest itself through our real property investments as a result of increased tenant bankruptcies and tenant defaults and generally lower demand for rentable space, which could lead to an oversupply of rentable space or increased rent concessions, tenant improvement expenditures or reduced rental rates to maintain occupancies. As a result, our real property portfolio could realize a decrease in cash flow and overall value which in turn could hinder our ability to fulfill our obligations such as debt service payments, operating expenses and distributions to our investors.

The economic environment and credit market conditions over the past couple of years have already impacted the performance and value of our debt related investments and securities portfolio. We have recognized provisions for loan losses and other-than-temporary impairments and reduced cash flow on our debt-related investments and securities portfolio. If the current economic environment were to persist or worsen, we may see additional impairments and further disruption in cash flow as a result.

 

   

A further principal business risk is our ability to access additional debt financing on reasonable terms. Over the last few years, the U.S. credit markets have experienced severe dislocations and liquidity disruptions which have caused significant volatility in credit spreads on prospective debt financings and created uncertainties with respect to the valuation of assets. While we believe our near term debt maturities to be very manageable, over the medium to longer term, should the value of our portfolio decline significantly (possibly as a result of a prolonged economic recovery or a double-dip recession) it would be difficult to find debt financing on terms similar to our existing financing or at all which may negatively affect returns on our investments and ultimately cash available to distribute to investors.

 

   

The magnitude of the NOIP Portfolio acquisition comes with significant risks that include, but are not limited to, the financing we obtained to close the transaction, integration of the operations and significantly decreased levels of liquidity. This portfolio practically doubles the size our real property portfolio and the financing we obtained, in limited cases, involved recourse to our Operating Partnership. We have sold, and intend to continue to sell, certain assets within this portfolio, and have used, and will continue to use, the proceeds to pay down debt. However, disposing of a significant amount of real property assets can be difficult and we may not be able to fully execute our disposition strategy. See “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a more detailed discussion of the risks associated with the acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio.

We believe our investment and financing strategies significantly mitigate these risks. Specifically, the diversification of our portfolio combined with our longer term average lease maturity and debt maturity schedule will help us to withstand a slow economic recovery. Further, we believe that the NOIP Portfolio complements our investment and financing strategy because the majority of the leases included in the NOIP Portfolio are triple-net or absolute leases with single tenants, mitigating the integration risks inherent in an acquisition of this magnitude. Successful execution of our disposition strategy with respect to the NOIP Portfolio will help to significantly reduce our borrowings that have shorter maturities and therefore effectively increase the average maturity of our remaining debt obligations.

Significant Transactions During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Investment Activity

National Office and Industrial Portfolio

On June 25, 2010, through various wholly-owned subsidiaries, we completed the acquisition of a portfolio of office and industrial properties (the “National Office and Industrial Portfolio” or the “NOIP Portfolio”), or interests therein, from several subsidiaries of iStar Financial Inc. (the “Sellers”). The aggregate purchase price of the NOIP Portfolio was approximately $1.35 billion, adjusted for closing costs and customary prorations of taxes, operating expenses, leasing costs and other items. The NOIP Portfolio comprises a diversified portfolio of 32 office and industrial properties located in 16 markets within the United States aggregating approximately 11.3 million net rentable square feet. Included in this portfolio are 21 office properties located in 10

markets aggregating approximately 4.6 million net rentable square feet and 11 industrial properties located in nine markets aggregating 6.7 million net rentable square feet. At the time of the acquisition, the properties included in the National Office and Industrial Portfolio were approximately 99% leased, primarily by large corporate tenants subject to triple net leases with a weighted average lease term, based on base rent, of approximately 7.6 years. As of September 30, 2010, approximately 57% of the net operating income from the portfolio will be derived from tenants with an investment grade public credit rating and approximately 90% of the portfolio’s net operating income was derived from tenants that are publicly traded. Based on the purchase price and our estimate of year-one cash net operating income, the National Office and Industrial Portfolio was acquired at a capitalization rate of approximately 8.1%.

We believe that the NOIP Portfolio has provided us with the opportunity to deploy our capital into high-quality real properties leased to creditworthy tenants in premier locations throughout the United States. The NOIP Portfolio is substantially larger than any of our previous acquisitions and nearly doubled the value and size of our investments in real property. As such, this acquisition has impacted and will continue to significantly impact our results of operations and has impacted the composition and profile of our existing investments by significantly increasing the percentage of our investments in real properties compared to our debt related investments and our investments in real estate securities and the composition of our real property portfolio sectors. Through the NOIP Portfolio acquisition, we entered six new geographic markets and significantly increased our diversity of tenant and industry concentrations. Additionally, the existing lease terms included in the NOIP Portfolio significantly decreased our lease expirations as a percentage of our portfolio over the next five years, and improved our future minimum rent schedules.

Real Estate Dispositions

On August 13, 2010, we completed the sale of a portfolio of six industrial real estate properties comprising approximately 4.7 million net rentable square feet, all of which were leased on a triple-net basis to one tenant, Goodyear Tire & Rubber (the “Goodyear Portfolio”), to an unaffiliated third party, for $172.5 million. We received net proceeds from the disposition of the Goodyear Portfolio of approximately $169.1 million, which were used to repay approximately $165.7 million of the outstanding principal balance of the NOIP Floating Rate Loan and approximately $3.4 million of the outstanding principal balance of the mezzanine loans related to the NOIP Portfolio.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we completed the sale of four retail properties, comprising approximately 31,000 net rentable square feet, all of which were leased to one tenant, for approximately $12.6 million.

Assets Held For Sale

Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we sold an office property located in the Silicon Valley market to a third party. This property was classified as held for sale in the accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 2010. Accordingly, gross investments in real property of $25.2 million specific to this property were presented as assets held for sale and borrowings and other liabilities of $13.5 million were included in liabilities related to assets held for sale. The operating results of the property have been included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 in our accompanying financial statements. Net proceeds of $23.5 million were realized upon completion of this transaction, resulting in a loss of approximately $785,000 primarily comprised of selling costs and expenses, which has been accrued as of September 30, 2010.

We previously held a mezzanine loan investment that was secured by 100% of the equity of an entity that owned a fee interest in an office property located in the Washington D.C. market which was encumbered by a related senior mortgage note with an unpaid principle balance at September 30, 2010 of approximately $108.9 million with a stated annual interest rate of 6.3%. We had fully reserved the value of the mezzanine loan which had an amortized cost basis of approximately $17.3 million as of June 30, 2010. During the third quarter, we obtained additional information regarding the fair value of the office property and reversed $13.7 million of the provision for loan loss that we had previously recorded. Also during the three months ended September 30, 2010, we foreclosed and took possession of our collateral (i.e. we took ownership of the entity owning the office property). Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we sold the property for a gross purchase price of approximately $125.3 million, transferred the related mortgage debt to an unaffiliated third party and realized net proceeds of $13.7 million. As of September 30, 2010, real property and other assets of $124.1 million specific to this property was presented as assets held for sale, and assumed borrowings and other liabilities of $110.0 million were included in liabilities related to assets held for sale. The operating results of this property during the period of our ownership have been included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 in our accompanying financial statements.

Financing Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred borrowings of approximately $1.0 billion, which were related to debt issued to finance the NOIP Portfolio acquisition and previously unencumbered real properties. We also entered into a master repurchase facility that provided us with borrowings collateralized by certain of our debt investments. The following table is a summary of the borrowings we incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, including subsequent repayments of amounts borrowed (amounts in thousands). For additional detail, please see Note 6 in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Disposition of Preferred Equity Securities

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we received proceeds of approximately $14.5 million and $72.9 million, respectively, on the disposition of certain preferred equity securities positions. After other-than-temporary impairment charges of $69.7 million, the adjusted basis of the securities sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $6.9 million and $33.0 million, respectively, resulting in net gains from the disposition of these preferred equity securities of approximately $7.6 million and $39.9 million, respectively. Before other-than-temporary impairment charges, the amount invested in the securities sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $24.0 million and $102.7 million, respectively, resulting in estimated economic losses of approximately $9.5 million and $29.8 million, respectively. We did not dispose of any securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

How We Measure Our Performance

FFO Definition (“FFO”)

We believe that FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expense. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that consists of net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, less gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for investment purposes.

Company-Defined FFO

As part of its guidance concerning FFO, NAREIT has stated that the “management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community.” As a result, modifications to FFO are common among REITs as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect the specific characteristics of their businesses. We believe that investors and other stakeholders who review our operating results are best served by providing them with the same performance metrics used by management to gauge operating performance. Therefore, we are providing users with a Company-Defined FFO measure in addition to the NAREIT definition of FFO and other GAAP measures. However, no single measure can provide users of financial information with sufficient information and only our disclosures read as a whole can be relied upon to adequately portray our financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

Certain GAAP measures, as well as FFO, include items that may affect comparability from period to period. Our primary objective for Company-Defined FFO is to provide investors with a supplemental earnings metric that indicates the performance of our operations before certain non-cash charges, non-operating or other items that management believes affects the comparability of our operating results from period to period. Our Company-Defined FFO is derived by adjusting FFO for the following items: gains and losses on real estate securities, gains or loss associated with provisions for loss on debt related investments, acquisition-related expenses, gains and losses on derivatives, and gains and losses associated with financing commitments.

Gains and losses on investments–Our investment strategy does not include purchasing and selling investments for purposes of generating short-term gains. Rather, our strategy is focused on longer term investments while generating current income. As such, management believes any gains or losses generated from the sale, impairment or reserve of any of our investments are non-routine and intermittent and may result in a significant impact to our earnings in the period in which such gains or losses are recorded compared to prior or future periods. Management believes that providing a consistent performance metric based primarily on income generated from the portfolio, absent the affects of gains and losses on investments, to be a useful metric providing for better comparability and a better indication of future performance.

Table of Contents

 

Gains and losses on real estate securities - Our investment strategy does not include purchasing and selling real estate securities for the purpose of generating short-term gains. Rather, we have focused on longer-term investments for the purposes of realizing current income from such investments. As such, management believes any gains or losses generated from the sale or impairment of our investments in real estate securities are non-routine and intermittent and may result in a significant impact to our earnings in the period in which such gains or losses are recorded compared to prior or future periods. Period to period fluctuations in gains and losses on real estate securities, including other-than-temporary impairments, can be caused by the accounting treatment for factors affecting our investments in real estate securities that may not translate into our longer term investment strategy and therefore may not be indicative of the long-term performance of such investments. Such gains and losses, including other-than-temporary impairments, have a disproportionate impact to our earnings in the period when such gains and losses are realized through our earnings, affecting comparability from period to period.

Gains and loss associated with provision for loss on debt related investments - Currently, our investment strategy does not include purchasing and selling investments for the purpose of generating short-term gains. Rather our investment strategy is to hold our investments for the long-term for the purpose of earning current income. As a result, management believes that any gains or losses generated from the sale or impairment of such investments are non-routine and intermittent and result in a disproportionate impact to our earnings in the period in which such gains or losses are recorded compared to prior or future periods.

Acquisition-related expenses - For GAAP purposes, expenses associated with the acquisition of real property, including acquisition fees paid to our Advisor and gains or losses related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of real property, are recorded to earnings. As we have previously disclosed, these types of expenditures are to be funded from our net proceeds received from the sale of our common stock and not from our operations.

Gains and losses on derivatives - Gains and losses on derivatives represent the gains or losses on the fair value of derivative instruments that are not accounted for as hedges of the underlying financing transactions. Such gains and losses may be due to the nonoccurrence of forecasted financings or ineffectiveness due to changes in the expected terms of financing transactions. These types of charges are not unusual or infrequent but management believes that any gains or losses on derivatives are not reflective of our operating performance and can have an inconsistent impact to our operating results derived from our core business operations.

Gains and losses on financing commitments - Gains and losses on financing commitments represent gains or losses incurred as a result of the early retirement of debt obligations and breakage costs and fees incurred related to rate lock agreements with prospective lenders. Such gains and losses may be due to dispositions of assets, the repayment of debt prior to its contractual maturity or the nonoccurrence of forecasted financings. These types of gains and losses are relatively infrequent to us and our management believes that any such gains or losses are not reflective of our operating performance and can have an inconsistent impact to our operating results derived from our core business operations.

Limitations of FFO and Company-Defined FFO

FFO (both NAREIT-defined and Company-Defined) is presented herein as a supplemental financial measure and has inherent limitations. We do not use FFO or Company-Defined FFO as, nor should they be considered to be, an alternative to net income (loss) computed under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP, or as an indicator of our ability to fund our short or long-term cash requirements. Management uses FFO and Company-Defined FFO as indications of our operating performance and as a guide to making decisions about future investments. Our FFO and Company-Defined FFO calculations do not present, nor do we intend them to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and operating performance. In addition, other REITs may define FFO and Company-Defined FFO differently and choose to treat impairment charges, acquisition-related expenses and potentially other accounting line items in a manner different from us due to specific differences in investment strategy or for other reasons. Our Company-Defined FFO calculation is limited by its exclusion of certain items previously discussed, but we continuously evaluate our investment portfolio and the usefulness of our Company-Defined FFO measure in relation thereto. We believe that net income (loss) computed under GAAP remains the primary measure of performance and that FFO or Company-Defined FFO are only meaningful when they are used in conjunction with net income (loss) computed under GAAP. Further, we believe that our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide the most meaningful picture of our financial condition and operating performance.

Guy Arnold, our President, and Kirk Scott, our Chief Financial Officer, will present performance data and provide management commentary. The conference call will take place at 4:15 p.m. EST and can be accessed by dialing 866.783.2139 and referencing “Dividend Capital Passcode 66080733.”

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

We also use NOI as a supplemental financial performance measure because NOI reflects the specific operating performance of our real properties, debt related investments and real estate securities and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of each property, such as gains on the disposition of securities, other-than-temporary impairment, gains and losses related to provisions for losses on debt related investments, losses on derivatives, acquisition-related expenses, losses on financing commitments, interest income, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, asset management fees, interest expense and noncontrolling interests. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance as a whole, since it does exclude such items that could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. Therefore, we believe net income, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall financial performance.

Our Operating Results

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009

For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we had net income from continuing operations of approximately $3.9 million and a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $6.9 million, respectively. The results of our operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010, were substantially different than our results for the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of (i) increased operating income, net of increase interest and depreciation and amortization expense, primarily attributable to the acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio, (ii) the gain on a reversal of a provision for loan loss in the current year period (iii) a loss on derivatives in the prior year period, (iv) the gain on disposition of certain of our real estate securities during the current year period, and (v) impairment charges related to our real estate securities in the prior period. These increases to net income were partially offset by a termination fee relating to a borrowing commitment and the impairment of an office property in our operating portfolio.

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010, increased compared to the same period in 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to our acquisition of 28 operating real properties subsequent to June 30, 2009.

Same store base rental revenue and other rental revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in the occupancy of our same store portfolio of assets. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, occupancy of our same store portfolio was approximately 91.7% and 94.3%, respectively.

Debt Related Income

Debt related income for the three months ended September 30, 2010, increased compared to the same period in 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to our investment of $82.0 million in debt related investments subsequent to June 30, 2009. This was partially offset by a disruption in interest payment from one of our mezzanine debt investments, which was converted to an equity interest in a real property via a foreclosure during the three months ended September 30, 2010, and the repayment of our preferred equity debt related investment of approximately $17.4 million, which was accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated joint venture.

Securities Income

Income from our preferred equity securities portfolio decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009 due to the completion of the disposition of our preferred equity securities portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

During the current year, 16 of our CRE-CDO securities had completely or partially suspended their interest payments resulting in a decrease in annualized payments of approximately $5.6 million based on the LIBOR rate as of September 30, 2010.

Rental Expenses

Rental expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010, increased compared to the same period in 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to our acquisition of 28 operating real properties subsequent to June 30, 2009.

Same store rental expenses decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, due primarily to decreases in repair and maintenance expense and insurance expense, partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense.

Other Operating Expenses

 

   

Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010, increased compared to the same period in 2009, primarily due to our acquisition of 28 operating real properties subsequent to June 30, 2009.

 

   

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010, increased compared to the same period in 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to accounting and legal fees and other general overhead expenses attributable to our overall growth in assets and shareholders.

 

   

Asset Management Fees, Related Party: Asset management fees paid to our Advisor for the three months ended September 30, 2010, increased compared to the same period in 2009. This increase resulted from additional investments held during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to our acquisition of 28 additional operating real properties and three debt investments subsequent to June 30, 2009.

 

   

Acquisition-Related Expenses and Other Gains/Losses: We did not incur acquisition related expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a gain of approximately $950,000 related to an increase in our estimated fair value of contingent consideration received related to previous real property acquisitions. Prior to January 1, 2009, acquisition-related expenses were capitalized and amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the related life of the acquired property. Prior to January 1, 2009, changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration were not recognized in our financial statements.

Other Income (Expenses)

 

   

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010, increased compared to the same period in 2009. This increase resulted primarily from additional mortgage note financing we assumed or incurred subsequent to June 30, 2009, partially offset by a general decline in the one-month LIBOR rate, which impacts interest expense on floating-rate debt obligations, and the partial repayment certain mortgage and other secured borrowings. The following table further describes our interest expense by debt obligation, including amortization of loan cost, amortization of other comprehensive income related to our hedging activity and related discounts and premiums (amounts in thousands).

Gain on Disposition of Securities: During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we continued a disposition strategy with regards to our preferred equity securities portfolio. We disposed of the remainder of our preferred equity securities for net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million. These disposed securities had an accounting cost basis of approximately $6.9 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $7.6 million.

 

   

Other-than-Temporary Impairment on Securities: During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we did not record other-than-temporary impairment charges related to our securities. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded net other-than-temporary impairment charges of approximately $6.4 million related to nine of our CMBS and CRE-CDO securities. See Note 4 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of this charge.

 

   

Impairment on Real Estate Property: During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value of one of our office properties to our estimate of fair value as of September 30, 2010. See Note 3 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of this charge.

 

   

Loss on Financing Commitments: During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a loss on financing commitment related to a borrowing commitment that we terminated resulting in a related termination fee.

Nine months ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Nine months ended September 30, 2009

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we had net income from continuing operations of approximately $5.0 million and a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $26.9 million, respectively. The results of our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, were substantially different than our results for the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of (i) the gain on disposition of certain of our real estate securities during the current year period, (ii) increased operating income, net of increase interest and depreciation and amortization expense, primarily attributable to the acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio, (iii) the gain on a reversal of a provision for loan loss in the current year period (iv) a loss on derivatives in the prior year period, and (v) impairment charges related to our real estate securities in the prior period. These increases to net income were partially offset by a termination fee relating to a borrowing commitment and the impairment of an office property in our operating portfolio.

Other Income (Expenses)

 

   

Interest and Other Income: Interest and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, decreased compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease is attributable to the decrease in our outstanding cash balances and lower average yields on our floating-rate, interest-bearing bank accounts and money market mutual fund investments.

 

   

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, increased compared to the same period in 2009. This increase resulted primarily from additional mortgage note financing we assumed or incurred subsequent to December 31, 2008, partially offset by a general decline in the one-month LIBOR rate, which impacts interest expense on floating-rate debt obligations, and the repayment of certain mortgage and other secured borrowings.

Loss on Derivatives: Loss on derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, decreased compared to the same period in 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we determined that it was no longer probable that previously forecasted issuances of fixed-rate debt associated with certain of our forward starting swaps would be issued within the timeframe specified in the corresponding hedge designation memorandum. As a result of these discontinuances of these cash flow hedges, we recognized losses on derivatives of approximately $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized a net gain of approximately $587,000 due a change in forecasted dates of debt issuances. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized a loss on derivatives that was primarily attributable to the change in fair value of an interest rate cap that was not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes.

 

   

Gain on Disposition of Securities: During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we disposed of all of our preferred equity securities for net proceeds of approximately $72.9 million. These disposed securities had an accounting cost basis approximately $33.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $39.9 million.

 

   

Other-than-Temporary Impairment on Securities: During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded net other-than-temporary impairment charges related to 11 of our CMBS and CRE-CDO securities, of approximately $5.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 we recorded net other-than-temporary impairment charges related to 14 of our CMBS and CRE-CDO securities, of approximately $13.0 million. See Note 4 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of this charge.

 

   

Gains and Losses on and Provision for Loss on Debt Related Investments: During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a provision for loan loss related to one of our B-note debt related investments related to an office property located in the San Diego, California market. This provision represented a complete loss of our carrying amount of this investment due to our assessment that future cash flows from this investment were highly uncertain and that our underlying collateral position had no fair value. Additionally, we partially reversed a previously recorded provision for loan loss on a mezzanine debt investment related to an office building in the Washington D.C. market. The reversal represented the net proceeds realized on the subsequent sale of the property.

 

   

Impairment on Real Estate Property: During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value of one of our office properties to our estimate of its fair value as of September 30, 2010. See Note 3 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of this charge.

 

   

Loss on Financing Commitments: During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a loss on financing commitment related to a borrowing commitment that we terminated resulting in a related termination fee.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Outlook

For the past several years, we have maintained a significant cash balance as a result of our successful capital raising efforts and patient capital deployment. However, with the closing of the NOIP Portfolio, we have substantially deployed our capital, although we will continue to invest opportunistically, and have substantially reduced our cash balance to approximately $98.8 million. We believe our existing cash balance, cash from operations, additional proceeds from our DRIP Plan, proceeds from the sale of existing investments, and prospective debt issuances and assumptions will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital needs for the foreseeable future, including the next 12 months. Our capital requirements over the next 12 months are anticipated to include, but are not limited to, operating expenses, distribution payments, redemption payments, acquisitions of real property, debt related investments and real estate securities and debt service payments, including debt maturities of approximately $62.8 million, of which approximately $46.5 million is subject to certain extension options.

As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately $98.8 million of cash compared to $514.8 million as of December 31, 2009. The following discussion summarizes the sources and uses of our cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, that resulted in the net cash decrease of approximately $416.0 million.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $23.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which represents a decrease of approximately $15.0 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $38.8 million for the same period in 2009. This was primarily due to acquisition costs attributable to our acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio, partially offset by income from investment activity.

Lease Expirations

Our primary source of funding for our property-level operating expenses and debt service payments is rent collected pursuant to our tenant leases. Our properties are generally leased to tenants for terms ranging from three to 12 years. As of September 30, 2010, the weighted average remaining term of our leases was approximately 8.5 years based on annualized base rent and 5.6 years based on leased square footage. The following is a schedule of expiring leases for our consolidated operating properties by annual minimum rents as of September 30, 2010, and assuming no exercise of lease renewal options (amounts in thousands).

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased approximately $1.1 billion to approximately $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from approximately $158.4 million for the same period in 2009.

National Office and Industrial Portfolio

In June 2010, we completed the acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio, a portfolio of 32 office and industrial properties or interests therein, from several subsidiaries of the Sellers. The aggregate purchase price of the NOIP Portfolio was approximately $1.35 billion. See the discussion in Note 3 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of our acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio.

Real Estate Dispositions

On August 13, 2010, we completed the sale of the Goodyear Portfolio for $172.5 million. We received net proceeds from the disposition of approximately $169.1 million, which were used to repay approximately $165.7 million of the outstanding principal balance of the NOIP Floating Rate Loan and approximately $3.4 million of the outstanding principal balance of the mezzanine loans related to the NOIP Portfolio.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we completed the sale of four retail properties, comprising approximately 31,000 net rentable square feet, all of which were leased to one tenant, for approximately $12.6 million. See the discussion in Note 3 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of this disposition activity.

Debt Investment Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we originated a $13.2 million senior mortgage loan secured by an office property located in Washington, DC market (the “Dulles Creek Loan”). See the discussion in Note 5 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of this debt investment.

In addition, we received full and complete repayment of our debt investment structured as a redeemable preferred equity investment of approximately $17.4 million. See the discussion in Note 5 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of this repayment.

Financing Activities

Net cash from financing activities was approximately $815.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to net proceeds received from mortgage borrowings and other secured borrowings, including mortgage note borrowings issued in conjunction with our acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio, partially offset by distributions to common stockholders and redemptions of shares of common stock. See footnote 6 for a discussion of borrowings related to the NOIP Portfolio. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $191.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 mostly due to proceeds from sale of common stock, net of selling costs, and mortgage note proceeds, partially offset by distributions to common stockholders, redemptions of shares of common stock and the settlement of cash flow hedging derivatives.

Public Offerings

We terminated our primary public offering in 2009. We have offered and will continue to offer shares of common stock through the DRIP Plan. The amount raised under the DRIP Plan increased by approximately $516,000 to approximately $40.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from approximately $39.6 million for the same period in 2009.

Debt Financings

See the discussion in Note 6 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding our debt financing activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and a schedule that sets forth the contractual scheduled maturities of our mortgage notes and related details.

Distributions

Distributions declared payable to common stockholders increased approximately $6.1 million to approximately $82.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from approximately $76.7 million for the same period in 2009. Such distributions were paid following the respective quarters for which they were declared and approximately $44.0 million and $36.4 million, respectively, were paid in cash and approximately $38.8 million and $40.3 million, respectively, were reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP Plan. Proceeds from the DRIP Plan have been and, during the near-term, are expected to be used to fund our share redemption program as described further below.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we reported approximately $23.7 million and $38.8 million, respectively, of cash provided by our operating activities. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, which became effective for the year ended December 31, 2009, this amount was reduced by approximately $19.1 million and $2.8 million of acquisition-related expenses, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which were funded from the net proceeds received from our public offerings. As a result, the distributions declared payable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, (excluding the impact of ASC Topic 805 as described above) were funded with approximately $42.8 million and $41.6 million, respectively, from our operating activities, and the remaining amounts of approximately $40.0 million and $35.1 million, respectively, were funded from financing activities. Our long-term goal is to fund the payment of quarterly distributions to investors entirely from our operations. There can be no assurance that we will achieve this goal.

Redemptions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 we redeemed approximately 4.1 million and approximately 3.9 million shares of common stock, respectively, pursuant to our share redemptions program (the “Program”). As a result, proceeds used to redeem such shares increased approximately $2.4 million to $39.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $37.0 million for the same period in 2009. See “Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the Program. We redeemed approximately 4,400 OP Units from our OP Unit holders for approximately $44,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In addition to the above-mentioned redemptions, we also redeemed approximately 239,000 OP Units from our OP Unit holders for approximately $2.2 million during the same period 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2010, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. There are no lines of credit, side agreements, or any other derivative financial instruments related to or between our unconsolidated joint venture and us, and we believe we have no material exposure to financial guarantees.

We have contractual obligations to related parties for asset management services. Fees for these services are based upon assets owned and revenues received during future periods, and as a result, future amounts cannot be determined at this time.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

Fair Value Estimates of Investments in Real Estate Securities

As of September 30, 2010, our real estate securities included CMBS and CRE-CDOs. We estimate the fair value of our CMBS and CRE-CDO securities using a combination of observable market information and unobservable market assumptions. Observable market information used in these fair market valuations include benchmark interest rates, interest rate curves, credit market indexes and swap curves. Unobservable market assumptions used in the determination of the fair market valuations of our CMBS and CRE-CDO investments include market assumptions related to discount rates, default rates, prepayment rates, reviews of trustee or investor reports and nonbinding broker quotes and pricing services in what is currently an inactive market. Additionally, we consider security-specific characteristics in determining the fair values of our CMBS and CRE-CDO investments, which include consideration of credit enhancements of the underlying collateral’s average default rates, the average delinquency rate and loan-to-value, and several other characteristics. As a result, both Level 2 and Level 3 inputs are used in arriving at the valuation of our investments in CMBS and CRE-CDOs. We consider the Level 3 inputs used in determining the fair value of our investments in CMBS and CRE-CDO securities to be significant. As such, all investments in CMBS and CRE-CDO securities fall under the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2010. No investments in CMBS and CRE-CDO securities were transferred in or out of the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Our CMBS and CRE-CDO investments had a fair value of $730,000 and $8.8 million, which represented less than 1% of our total net investments as of September 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $5.4 million related to our CMBS and CRE-CDO securities. For additional detail regarding this other-than-temporary impairment charge, see Note 4 to our financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Subsequent Events

Disposition of Real Properties

We previously held a mezzanine loan investment that was secured by 100% of the equity of an entity that owned a fee interest in an office property located in the Washington D.C. market which was encumbered by a related senior mortgage note with an unpaid principle balance at September 30, 2010 of approximately $108.9 million with a stated annual interest rate of 6.3%. We had fully reserved the value of the mezzanine loan which had an amortized cost basis of approximately $17.3 million as of June 30, 2010. During the third quarter, we obtained additional information regarding the fair value of the office property and reversed $13.7 million of the provision for loan loss that we had previously recorded. Also during the three months ended September 30, 2010, we foreclosed and took possession of our collateral (i.e. we took ownership of the entity owning the office property). Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we sold the property for a gross purchase price of approximately $125.3 million, transferred the related mortgage debt to an unaffiliated third party and realized net proceeds of $13.7 million. As of September 30, 2010, real property and other assets of $124.1 million specific to this property was presented as assets held for sale, and assumed borrowings and other liabilities of $110.0 million were included in liabilities related to assets held for sale. The operating results of this property during the period of our ownership have been included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 in our accompanying financial statements.

In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2010, we sold an office property acquired with the NOIP Portfolio aggregating approximately 180,000 net rentable square feet in the Silicon Valley market to an unaffiliated third party buyer for a sales price of approximately $24.1 million. This property is classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2010, with the related results of operations classified as discontinued operations in our accompanying financial statements. Net proceeds of $23.3 million were realized upon completion of this transaction, resulting in an unrealized loss of approximately $785,000 primarily comprised of selling costs and expenses, which we had accrued as of September 30, 2010. Upon the sale of this property, we paid down approximately $14.1 of outstanding borrowings under the NOIP Floating Rate Loan.

Bamboo Loan Investment

Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we originated a $17.0 million senior mortgage loan secured by an industrial property located in Honolulu, Hawaii market (the “Bamboo Loan”). The borrower under the Bamboo Loan is Fowler Property Acquisitions, a privately held real estate sponsor. The Bamboo Loan has a term of four years and earns interest at a stated rate of 7.5%.

Inflation

Most of our leases either provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations over a base amount or either direct or indirect payment of these expenses by the tenant. In addition, many of our leases provide for fixed base rent increases or indexed rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases in costs may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and operating expense escalations in our leases. To date, we believe that inflation has not had a material impact to our operations or overall liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

Due to our control of our Operating Partnership through our sole general partnership interest and the limited rights of the limited partners, we consolidate our Operating Partnership and limited partner interests not held by us, which are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our financial statements also include the accounts of our consolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures through which we are the primary beneficiary, when such subsidiaries and joint ventures are variable interest entities, or through which we have a controlling interest. In determining whether we have a controlling interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity in which we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.

Judgments made by us with respect to our level of influence or control of an entity and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity involve consideration of various factors, including the form of our ownership interest, the size of our investment (including loans) and our ability to direct the activities of the entity. Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our financial statements and, consequently, our financial position and specific items in our results of operations that are used by our stockholders, lenders and others in their evaluation of us. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we consolidated approximately $790.5 million and $800.4 million, respectively, in real property investments, before accumulated depreciation and amortization of approximately $113.9 million and $92.5 million, respectively, and approximately $491.8 million and $496.2 million, respectively, in mortgage note borrowings associated with our consolidated variable interest entities. The maximum risk of loss related to our investment in these unconsolidated variable interest entities is limited to our recorded net investments in such entities. The creditors of the consolidated variable interest entities do not have recourse to our general credit.

Generally, we consolidate real estate partnerships and other entities that are not variable interest entities when we own, directly or indirectly, a majority voting interest in the entity.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We adopted a new accounting standard effective January 1, 2010, that revised the guidance on how a reporting entity evaluates whether an entity is a variable interest entity and which entity is considered the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and is therefore required to consolidate such variable interest entity. This accounting standard requires assessments at each reporting period of which party within the variable interest entity is considered the primary beneficiary and requires a number of new disclosures related to variable interest entities. Upon our adoption of this accounting standard, we reconsidered our previous consolidation conclusions for all entities with which we are involved pursuant to this accounting pronouncement. There was no impact to our financial position or results of operations as a result of our adoption of this accounting standard.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of assets and liabilities that results from a change in the applicable market resulting from a variety of factors such as perceived risk, interest rate changes, inflation and overall general economic changes. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and unit holders, and other cash requirements. Our investments in real estate securities and debt related investments are our financial instruments that are most significantly and directly impacted by changes in their respective market conditions. In addition, our outstanding borrowings are also directly impacted by changes in market conditions. This impact is largely mitigated by the fact that the majority of our outstanding borrowings have fixed interest rates, which minimize our exposure to the risk that fluctuating interest rates may pose to our operating results and liquidity.

As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately $394.6 million of variable rate borrowings outstanding indexed to LIBOR rates. If the LIBOR rates relevant to our remaining variable rate borrowings were to increase 10%, we estimate that our quarterly interest expense would increase by approximately $8,000, based on our outstanding floating-rate debt as of September 30, 2010.

We may seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs by selectively utilizing derivative instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. While this hedging strategy is designed to minimize the impact on our net income (loss) and funds from operations from changes in interest rates, the overall returns on our investments may be reduced. Our board of directors has established policies and procedures regarding our use of derivative instruments for hedging or other purposes.

In addition to the above described risks, we are subject to additional credit risk. Credit risk refers to the ability of each individual borrower under our debt related investments or issuer of our real estate securities to make required interest and principal payments on the scheduled due dates. We seek to reduce credit risk by actively monitoring our debt related investments and real estate securities portfolio and the underlying credit quality of our holdings. In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan and collateral defaults may continue to increase and result in further credit losses that would continue to, or more severely, adversely affect our liquidity and operating results. As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, adverse market and credit conditions have resulted in our recording of other-than-temporary impairment in certain securities and provisions for loan losses related to our debt related investments.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010. There were no material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On July 14, 2010, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (“Northrop”), filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia against iStar NG, LP, TRT Acquisitions, LLC, TRT NOIP Colshire - McLean LLC, and Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc. (together, the “Dividend Capital Defendants”) and iStar Financial Inc. (“iStar Financial” and, together with Dividend Capital Defendants, the “Defendants”). Northrop’s Complaint pertains to a real estate project containing two commercial office buildings and a parking garage located at 7555-7575 Colshire Drive in McLean, Virginia (the “Project”). TRT NOIP Colshire - McLean LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc., which was acquired iStar NG, LP as part of the National Office and Industrial Portfolio acquired from several subsidiaries of iStar Financial on June 25, 2010. Northrop, a holder of a leasehold interest in the Project, alleges that iStar Financial and the Dividend Capital Defendants knowingly completed the sale of the Project (rather than a sale of the owner of the Project, iStar NG, LP). Northrop’s Complaint claims that the alleged sale of the Project violated Northrop’s right of first offer (“ROFO”) contained in the relevant deed of lease. Northrop’s Complaint seeks specific performance of the ROFO, other injunctive relief, compensatory damages in the amount of $250 million, $350,000 in punitive damages, treble damages under the Virginia Business Conspiracy Statute, costs, and attorneys’ fees. On August 10, 2010, Defendants filed with the Fairfax County Circuit Court papers seeking dismissal of Northrop’s Complaint as a matter of law. These are scheduled to be heard on December 17, 2010. In addition to defending Northrop’s Complaint generally and asserting counterclaims, the Dividend Capital Defendants have obtained indemnities from iStar Financial and insurance coverage that are subject to certain terms, conditions and limitations. The Dividend Capital Defendants have asserted counterclaims against Northrop based in part on Northrop’s intentional interference with the sale of the Project, its interference with contracts and prospective contracts, and its breach of the contract between iStar NG and Northrop. The Dividend Capital Defendants seek specific performance, damages in an amount yet to be determined, costs, and attorneys’ fees.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the risk factors in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Commission on March 23, 2010 the Company is also subject to the following risks:

We or our Advisor may fail to adapt management and operational systems to integrate the NOIP Portfolio without unanticipated disruption or expense, and our acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio may subject us to unanticipated liabilities.

Our acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio was substantially larger than any of our previous acquisitions and nearly doubled the value and size of our investments in real property. As a result, the acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio has and will continue to require significant adaptation of related asset management, administrative, accounting and operational systems, and the potential need to hire and retain sufficient staff to integrate the operations included in the NOIP Portfolio. The integration of the NOIP Portfolio has and will continue to require time, effort, attention and dedication of our Advisor’s resources and may distract our management and our Advisor in unpredictable ways from their other responsibilities. Our failure to integrate the NOIP Portfolio without undue disruption or cost could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial. In addition, the acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio may subject us to liabilities related to the properties we acquire, some of which may be unknown.

The acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio has caused us to use the majority of our cash on hand and significantly increased our level of indebtedness, which may have an adverse impact on our liquidity and our ability to obtain additional financing at reasonable terms.

We used the majority of our cash on hand and incurred significant indebtedness to acquire the NOIP Portfolio, resulting in significantly increased debt levels. The use of debt to fund the acquisition of the NOIP Portfolio has reduced our liquidity and caused us to place more reliance on cash flow from operations and other sources for our liquidity. If our cash flow from operations is not sufficient for our needs, our business could be adversely affected and could ultimately affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. If we are required to seek additional external financing to support our need for cash to fund our operating expenses and other obligations, we may not have access to financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Alternatively, we may feel compelled to access additional financing on terms that are dilutive to existing holders of our common stock or that include covenants that restrict our business, or both. If the recent lack of liquidity in credit markets persists into the future, our ability to obtain debt financing for our operating expenses and other obligations may be impaired.

We may compete with other Dividend Capital affiliated entities, including IIT and FundCore LLC, for opportunities to acquire or sell investments, which may have an adverse impact on our operations.

        We may compete with other Dividend Capital affiliated entities, including IIT and FundCore LLC, for opportunities to acquire, finance or sell certain types of real properties. We may also buy, finance or sell real properties at the same time as other Dividend Capital affiliated entities, including IIT and FundCore, are buying, financing or selling properties. In this regard, there is a risk that the Advisor will purchase a real property that provides lower returns to us than a real property purchased by another Dividend Capital affiliated entity, including IIT. Certain of our affiliates own and/or manage real properties in geographical areas in which we expect to own real properties. Therefore, our real properties may compete for tenants with other real properties owned and/or managed by other Dividend Capital affiliated entities, including IIT. The Advisor may face conflicts of interest when evaluating tenant leasing opportunities for our real properties and other real properties owned and/or managed by Dividend Capital affiliated entities, including IIT, and these conflicts of interest may have a negative impact on our ability to attract and retain tenants.

Entities affiliated with our Advisor may be given priority over us with respect to the acquisition of certain types of investments. As a result of our potential competition with these entities, certain investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to us may not in fact be available. For example, in the event that an investment is equally suitable for IIT and us, IIT will have priority to acquire or invest in (a) industrial properties located in the United States or Mexico, or (b) debt investments related to industrial properties located in the United States or Mexico, if such debt is intended to provide IIT with the opportunity to acquire the equity ownership in the underlying industrial asset, and we will have priority for all other real estate or debt investment opportunities. One of our independent directors, Mr. Charles Duke, is also an independent director for IIT. If there are any transactions or policies affecting us and IIT, Mr. Duke will recuse himself from making any such decisions for as long as he holds both positions.

We may also compete with other Dividend Capital affiliated entities for opportunities to acquire, finance or sell certain types of real estate securities. FundCore LLC acts as one of the Advisor’s product specialists with respect to our investments in certain debt related investments, and may independently or on behalf of other funds originate or acquire debt related investments.

We sold shares of our common stock in a fixed price offering, and continue to sell shares pursuant to our DRIP Plan in a fixed price offering, and the fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of our net assets at any particular time; therefore, the purchase price paid for shares of our common stock, particularly in light of the most recent economic recession, may be higher than the value of our assets per share of our common stock at the time of purchase or at any time in the future.

Our public offerings were fixed price offerings, which means that the offering price for shares of our common stock was fixed and did not vary based on the underlying value of our net assets at any time. Our board of directors arbitrarily determined the offering price in its sole discretion. Shares in the primary offering were sold at a price per share of $10.00 and shares sold pursuant to our DRIP plan were sold, and continue to be sold, at a price per share of $9.50. The fixed offering price for shares of our common stock was not and continues not to be based on appraisals of our real property and real estate related investments, which comprise substantially all of our net investment portfolio and which are generally illiquid. As such, the fixed price of our shares at any time is not based upon an appraised value of our investments, nor does it reflect the impact of the adverse and severe changes in global economic and capital market conditions since 2007 or the amount stockholders would receive if our assets were sold and the proceeds were distributed in a liquidation. Also, in the normal course, and in the absence of other factors affecting current and future values of our existing and prospective investments, our aggregate net asset value would generally be expected to be less than the proceeds of our public offerings due to the payment of fees and expenses related to the distribution of our shares and the acquisitions of assets. Therefore, the fixed offering price established for shares of our common stock may not accurately represent the current or future value of the assets per share of our common stock at any particular time, and if a valuation were to occur, the value per share may be less than the price for which such shares were sold.

We intend to provide an updated per share estimated value of our common stock, which value may be less than the fixed per share price of our common stock in both our prior public offerings and our distribution reinvestment plan.

In order for Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) members and their associated persons to have participated in the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to our public offerings, we are required pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310 to disclose in each annual report distributed to stockholders a per share estimated value of the shares, the method by which it was developed and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value. FINRA members that are a general securities firm are also required by FINRA rules to, under certain circumstances, include the per share estimated value that we disclose in our annual report on their customer’s account statement provided that the estimated value is not developed from data that is more than 18 months prior to the customer account statement’s date. In February 2009, FINRA issued Regulatory Notice 09-09 (the “FINRA Notice”) that advised general securities broker-dealers that they may no longer use the offering price, or “par value,” on a customer account statement more than 18 months following the conclusion of an offering, unless an appraisal of the program’s assets and operations yields the same value. In an effort to assist participating broker-dealers to comply with this account statement disclosure requirement, certain companies in the non-traded REIT industry have agreed to provide their respective broker-dealers with an updated per share estimated value using a variety of different valuation methodologies. In general, these updated values have been less than the offering price of the respective company’s common stock pursuant to earlier public offerings. During the first quarter of 2011, we intend to provide an updated per share estimated value of our common stock in order to facilitate broker-dealers’ compliance with the FINRA Notice. When we do provide an updated per share estimated value of our common stock, such value may be less than the price per share for which we sold our common stock pursuant to our prior public offerings and our DRIP Plan. After reporting the per share estimated value, the purchase price of our common stock offered under the DRIP Plan will be adjusted to reflect such revised per share estimated value.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Share Redemption Program

We have established a share redemption program (as amended from time to time, the “Program”) that provides our stockholders with limited interim liquidity. The Program will be immediately terminated if our shares of common stock are listed on a national securities exchange, or if a secondary market in our common stock is otherwise established.

After our stockholders have held shares of our common stock for a minimum of one year, our Program may provide a limited opportunity for our stockholders to have their shares of common stock redeemed, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to or at a discount from the purchase price of the shares of our common stock being redeemed and the amount of the discount will vary based upon the length of time that our stockholders have held their shares of our common stock subject to redemption, as described in the following table.

In the event that a stockholder seeks to redeem all of their shares of our common stock, shares of our common stock purchased pursuant to our DRIP Plan may be excluded from the foregoing one-year holding period requirement at the discretion of the board of directors. If a stockholder has made more than one purchase of our common stock (other than through our DRIP Plan), the one-year holding period will be calculated separately with respect to each such purchase. In addition, for purposes of the one-year holding period, holders of OP Units who exchange their OP Units for shares of our common stock shall be deemed to have owned their shares as of the date they were issued their OP Units. Neither the one-year holding period nor the Redemption Caps (defined below) will apply in the event of the death of a stockholder. The board of directors reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to (i) waive the one-year holding period and either of the Redemption Caps in the event of disability (as such term is defined in the Code) of a stockholder, (ii) reject any request for redemption for any reason or no reason, or (iii) reduce the number of shares of our common stock allowed to be redeemed under the Program. If our board of directors waives the one-year holding period in the event of the disability of a stockholder, or if the redemption request is in connection with the death of a stockholder who has held their shares for less than one year, we will redeem such shares at the discounted amount listed in the above table for a stockholder who has held shares for one year. Furthermore, any shares redeemed in excess of the Quarterly Redemption Cap (defined below), as a result of the death or disability of a stockholder, will be included in calculating the following quarter’s redemption limitations. At any time we are engaged in an offering of shares of our common stock, the per share price for shares of our common stock redeemed under our Program will never be greater than the then-current offering price of our shares of our common stock sold in the primary offering.

We are not obligated to redeem shares of our common stock under the Program. We presently intend to limit the number of shares to be redeemed during any calendar quarter to the lesser of (i) one-quarter of five percent of the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the date that is 12-months prior to the end of the current quarter and (ii) the aggregate number of shares sold pursuant to our DRIP Plan in the immediately preceding quarter, which amount may be less than the Aggregate Redemption Cap (defined below). The lesser of the preceding limitations is referred to as the (“Quarterly Redemption Cap”). Our board of directors retains the right, but is not obligated to, redeem additional shares if, in its sole discretion, it determines that it is in our best interest to do so, provided that we will not redeem during any consecutive 12-month period more than five percent of the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period (the “Aggregate Redemption Cap”, and together with the Quarterly Redemption Cap, the “Redemption Caps”), unless permitted to do so by applicable regulatory authorities. Although we presently intend to redeem shares pursuant to the above referenced methodology, to the extent that the aggregate proceeds received from the sale of shares pursuant to our DRIP Plan in any quarter are not sufficient to fund redemption requests, our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, choose to use other sources of funds to redeem shares of our common stock, up to the Aggregate Redemption Cap. Such sources of funds could include cash on hand, cash available from borrowings, cash from the sale of our shares pursuant to our DRIP Plan in other quarters, and cash from liquidations of securities investments, to the extent that such funds are not otherwise dedicated to a particular use, such as working capital, cash distributions to stockholders, debt repayment, purchases of real property, real estate-related securities, debt related investments or redemptions of OP Units. Our board of directors has no obligation to use other sources of funds to redeem shares of our common stock under any circumstances. The board of directors may in some circumstances, but is not obligated to, increase the Aggregate Redemption Cap, but may only do so in reliance on an applicable no-action letter issued by the Commission staff that would allow such an increase. There can be no assurance that the board of directors will increase either of the Redemption Caps at any time, nor can there be assurance that the board of directors will be able to obtain, if necessary, a no-action letter from the Commission. In any event, the number of shares of our common stock that we may redeem will be limited by the funds available from purchases pursuant to our DRIP Plan, cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidations of securities or debt related investments as of the end of the applicable quarter.

The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the Program at any time if it determines that the funds available to fund the Program are needed for other business or operational purposes or that amendment, suspension or termination of the Program is in the best interest of our stockholders. Any amendment, suspension or termination of the Program will not affect the rights of holders of OP Units to cause us to redeem their OP Units for, at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock, cash, or a combination of both pursuant to the Operating Partnership Agreement (the “OP Agreement”). In addition, the board of directors may determine to modify the Program to redeem shares at the then-current net asset value per share (provided that any offering will then also be conducted at net asset value per shares), as calculated in accordance with policies and procedures developed by our board of directors. If the board of directors decides to amend, suspend or terminate the Program, we will provide stockholders with no less than 30 days prior written notice. Therefore, stockholders may not have the opportunity to make a redemption request prior to any potential suspension, amendment, or termination of our Program.

We intend to redeem shares of our common stock quarterly under the Program. All requests for redemption must be made in writing and received by us at least 15 days prior to the end of the applicable quarter (the “Applicable Quarter End”).

Stockholders may also withdraw their redemption request in whole or in part by submitting a request in writing that is received by us at any time up to three business days prior to the Applicable Quarter End.

In connection with our quarterly redemptions, our affiliated stockholders will defer their redemption requests until all redemption requests by unaffiliated stockholders have been met. However, we cannot guarantee that the funds set aside for the Program will be sufficient to accommodate all requests made in any quarter. In the event that we do not have sufficient funds available to redeem all of the shares of our common stock for which redemption requests have been submitted in any quarter or the total amount of shares requested for redemption exceed the Quarterly Redemption Cap, we plan to redeem the shares of our common stock on a pro rata basis. In addition, we will redeem shares of our common stock in full that are presented for redemption in connection with the death and, if approved by the board of directors in its sole discretion, disability, of a stockholder, regardless of whether we redeem all other shares on a pro rata basis. Moreover, such determinations regarding our Program will not affect any determinations that may be made by the board of directors regarding requests by holders of OP Units for redemption of their OP Units pursuant to the OP Agreement.

We will determine whether to approve redemption requests no later than 30 days following the Applicable Quarter End, which we refer to as the “Redemption Determination Date.” No later than three business days following the Redemption Determination Date, we will pay the redemption price in cash for shares approved for redemption and/or, as necessary, will notify each stockholder in writing if the stockholder’s redemption request was not honored in whole or in part. The redemption request of a stockholder that is not honored in whole or in part will be deemed automatically withdrawn for such shares for which redemption was not approved, and any such stockholder may resubmit a request in a subsequent quarter. We will not retain redemption requests that are not honored in any particular quarter. The redemption request for such shares of our common stock will be deemed void and will not affect the rights of the holder of such shares of our common stock, including the right to receive distributions thereon. If a pro rata redemption would result in a stockholder owning less than the minimum purchase amount required under state law, we would redeem all of such stockholder’s shares of our common stock, unless the stockholder’s holdings are the result of a prior partial transfer.

Shares of our common stock approved for redemption on the Redemption Determination Date will be redeemed by us under the Program effective as of the Applicable Quarter End and will return to the status of authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock. We will not resell such shares of common stock to the public unless they are first registered with the Commission under the Securities Act and under appropriate state securities laws or otherwise sold in compliance with such laws.

In aggregate, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, we redeemed approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock pursuant to the Program for approximately $12.5 million, as described further in the table below.
