Our
Company
NNN Realty Advisors is a full-service commercial real estate
asset management and services firm. We sponsor real estate
investment programs to provide investors with the opportunity to
engage in tax-deferred exchanges of real property and to invest
in other real estate investment vehicles. We raise capital for
these programs through an extensive network of broker-dealer
relationships. We also structure, acquire, manage and dispose of
real estate for these programs, earning fees for each of these
services. We are one of the largest sponsors of tenant in
common, or TIC, programs marketed as securities and we also
sponsor and advise public non-traded real estate investment
trusts, or REITs, and real estate investment funds.
At December 31, 2006, we provided management services for a
diverse portfolio of 152 properties, encompassing over
32 million square feet of office, healthcare office,
multi-family and retail properties in 28 states that were
purchased for more than $4.3 billion in the aggregate.
Since our inception in 1998, we have raised over
$2.4 billion of equity capital for our programs from
approximately 24,000 investors. For the year ended
December 31, 2006, we generated pro forma revenue of
$135.4 million, pro forma income from continuing operations
of $10.6 million, and pro forma basic and diluted earnings
per share of our common stock of $0.25. These pro forma earnings
per diluted share reflects pro forma historical income from
continuing operations divided by shares outstanding as of
December 31, 2006.
Our TIC programs are structured in reliance on Section 1031
of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows for the deferral of
gain recognition on the sale of investment or business property
if a number of conditions are satisfied. The tax that would
otherwise be recognized in a taxable sale is deferred until the
replacement property is sold in a taxable transaction. A public
non-traded REIT is an SEC-registered REIT that does not list its
common stock on a national securities exchange. We register our
REIT offerings with the SEC so that we can sell to a large
number of investors.
We divide our services into three business segments, transaction
services, management services and dealer-manager services.
Transaction services. Our transaction services
consist of providing acquisition, financing and disposition
services to our programs.
Management services. Our management services
operations consist of managing the properties owned by the
programs we sponsor. We also assist our programs in entity-level
management services.
Dealer-manager services. We facilitate capital
raising transactions for our programs through NNN Capital Corp.,
our NASD-registered broker-dealer, which we refer to as Capital
Corp. We act as a dealer-manager exclusively for our programs
and do not provide securities services to any third party.
Company
Strengths
Established and recognizable brand name in the TIC
industry. Our Chairman, Anthony W. Thompson, who
founded the company in 1998, began structuring securitized TIC
transactions in 1994. A securitized TIC transaction is an
offering of real estate interests marketed as securities. We
believe that we have completed over 13.6% of the securitized TIC
transactions in the United States in 2006, based on the amount
of equity raised by us compared to statistics available for the
industry as a whole.
Relationships with a nationwide network of securities
broker-dealers. We work with a nationwide network
of securities broker-dealers in raising capital for our various
programs. For the year ended
December 31, 2006, we signed over 1,300 selling agreements
with 138 different broker-dealers to market our programs. We
believe that this depth of access to investor capital is a
valuable resource that facilitates the capital raises needed for
the programs we sponsor.
Proven acquisition track record. We have a
long track record in sourcing new investment opportunities and
completing acquisitions in a competitive capital environment.
Our established acquisition process enables us to target, review
and acquire properties efficiently. As of December 31,2006, we have acquired 214 properties for our investors with an
aggregate acquisition purchase price of approximately
$5.8 billion.
Proven investor return track record. We
believe that our ability to retain current investors as well as
attract new investors depends on our ability to provide positive
returns in our programs. For example, as of March 31, 2007,
we have had 37 TIC programs and four other private programs go
“full cycle” by selling their properties. Thirty-nine
of these 41 programs yielded positive returns to investors, and
the aggregate portfolio internal rate of return to investors on
all 41 programs was approximately 18.6%.
Experienced management team. We have a
seasoned executive management team with significant experience
in senior management of SEC-registered companies. Our Chairman
and largest stockholder has over 30 years experience in
originating and structuring real estate transactions, including
raising capital, and in asset and property management.
Ability to generate fees at each stage of our
services. We provide our programs with a full
range of real estate services, and we generate fees for each of
these services based on a percentage of the equity or debt
raised, the acquisition or disposition price of a property, or
gross rental income.
Strong capital base. As a result of our
operating history, significant transaction volume and leading
market share, we historically have had access to financing that
we believe may not be available to smaller, less-developed
sponsors. In addition, we have recently raised additional cash
in a 144A private equity offering.
Broad variety of asset expertise and geographic
diversification. As of December 31, 2006, we
provided management services for a diverse portfolio of 152
properties, encompassing over 32 million square feet of
commercial real estate that were purchased for more than
$4.3 billion in the aggregate. We manage properties for our
programs in 28 states. We believe that asset and geographic
diversification makes us less susceptible to the cyclicality of
any one specific real estate segment or geographic area.
Business
Strategies
Create a portfolio of REITs. We are currently
raising capital for two recently registered public non-traded
REIT offerings: NNN Healthcare/Office REIT, Inc. and NNN
Apartment REIT, Inc. We plan to create one or more REITs
that will invest in additional asset classes. We intend to use
our experience in a broad range of asset classes, including
office, healthcare office, multi-family and retail properties,
to identify new investment opportunities for our programs.
Provide short-term financing and warehouse
properties. We intend to provide short-term
financing to some of our programs if such financing facilitates
the closing of an offering. We may directly acquire properties
and warehouse them until they can be acquired by our programs.
Initiate an institutional investment fund. We
are in the process of marketing Strategic Office
Fund I, L.P., an institutional real estate fund to
raise $500 million in equity capital pursuant to which we
would co-invest with institutional investors. We have hired
Wachovia Securities as our placement agent for purposes of
assisting in the raise of this equity capital.
Increase our dedicated sales force and leverage our network
of broker-dealer relationships. Our selling
broker-dealer relationships are managed by a dedicated sales
force. We currently have a dedicated sales force of 51 persons,
which has increased from 27 persons at December 31, 2005.
Industry
Overview
Our real estate transaction and management services are
primarily provided to our securitized TIC programs and public
non-traded REITs. According to Omni Brokerage, Inc., securitized
TIC programs raised approximately $3.2 billion of equity in
2005 and approximately $3.7 billion in 2006. We are one of
the largest
U.S. sponsors of securitized TIC programs, having raised
approximately $504 million of TIC equity that was invested
in 33 properties in 2006.
According to The Stanger Report, in each of 2004, 2005 and 2006,
active public non-traded REIT programs raised approximately
$6.3 billion, $5.8 billion and $6.7 billion in equity,
respectively, and approximately $2.9 billion in the first
quarter of 2007. The 29 active public non-traded REITs that
raised $6.7 billion of equity in 2006 were focused on asset
classes including office, healthcare, industrial, retail,
multi-family and hotels. Capital raising volumes are, in part,
driven by the number of programs active in any given year. As of
April 30, 2007, we believe that we are the only public
non-traded REIT sponsor raising equity to purchase healthcare
and multi-family assets.

discussed in “Risk Factors” prior to deciding whether
to invest in shares of our common stock. These risks and other
factors include:
•
our dependence on the success of our real estate investment
programs for generating revenue and raising new capital;
•
our dependence on third-party securities broker-dealers to raise
the capital to fund our programs;
•
a change or revocation of the applicable tax code which provides
for the current TIC structure and benefits;

risks related to potential increases in interests rates and
tenant defaults and declines in real estate values and rental
and occupancy rates;
•
lack of geographic diversification which could expose us to
regional economic downturns that may not necessarily affect the
real estate industry generally;
•
our failure to hold all real estate licenses that may be
required in connection with the acquisition, disposition,
management or leasing of properties for our programs;
•
our failure to comply with applicable securities laws;

Recent
Developments
In February 2007, we entered into a $25.0 million revolving
line of credit with LaSalle Bank, N.A. to cover working capital
needs and earnest money deposits. This facility bears interest
at either the prime rate or London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) plus 1.50%, at our option on each drawdown, and matures
in February 2010. This facility replaces the $10.0 million
revolving line of credit facility that we entered into with
LaSalle Bank, N.A. in September 2006.
NNN Realty Advisors was organized as a corporation in the State
of Delaware in September 2006. Our fiscal year ends
December 31. We were formed to acquire each of Triple Net
Properties, LLC, Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., or Realty,
and Capital Corp., to bring the businesses conducted by those
companies under one corporate umbrella and to facilitate a 144A
private placement offering of our common stock, which took place
in November 2006. We sold 16 million shares of our common
stock at $10.00 per share in this offering and raised
$160 million in gross proceeds.
Our corporate headquarters are located at 1551 North Tustin
Avenue, Suite 300, Santa Ana, California, 92705. Our
telephone number is
(714) 667-8252
or
(877) 477-1031.
Our registered office in the State of Delaware is National
Registered Agents, Inc., located at 160 Greentree Drive,
Suite 101, Dover, Kent County, Delaware19904.

Investing in our common stock will be subject to risks,
including risks inherent in our business. The value of your
investment may decline and could result in a loss. You should
carefully consider the following factors as well as other
information contained in this prospectus before deciding to
invest in our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties
not presently known to us, or not identified below, may also
materially adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial
condition and results of operations.
Risks
Related to Our Business
We
currently provide our transaction and management services
primarily to our programs. Our revenue depends on the number of
our programs, on the price of the properties acquired or
disposed of by these programs, and on the revenue generated by
the properties under our management.
We derive fees for transaction services based on a percentage of
the price of the properties acquired or disposed of by our
programs and for management services based on a percentage of
the rental amounts of the properties in our programs. We are
responsible for the management of all of the properties owned by
our programs, but as of December 31, 2006 we had
subcontracted the property management of 38.7% of our
programs’ office, healthcare office and retail properties
(based on square footage) and all of our programs’
multi-family properties to third parties. As a result, if any of
our programs are unsuccessful, both our transaction services and
management services fees will be reduced, if any are paid at
all. In addition, failures of our programs to provide
competitive investment returns could significantly impair our
ability to market future programs. Our inability to spread risk
among a large number of programs could cause us to be
over-reliant on a limited number of programs for our revenues.
We cannot assure you that we will maintain current levels of
transaction and management services for our programs’
properties.
We may
be unable to grow our programs, which would cause us to fail to
satisfy our business strategy.
A significant element of our business strategy is the growth in
the number of our programs. The consummation of any future
program will be subject to raising adequate capital for the
investment, identifying appropriate assets for acquisition and
effectively and efficiently closing the transactions. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to identify and invest in
additional properties or will be able to raise adequate capital
for new programs in the future. If we are unable to consummate
new programs in the future, we will not be able to continue to
grow the revenue we receive from either transaction or
management services.
The
inability to access investors for our programs through
broker-dealers or other intermediaries could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
Our ability to source capital for our programs depends
significantly on access to the client base of securities
broker-dealers and other financial investment intermediaries
that may offer competing investment products. We believe that
our future success in developing our business and maintaining a
competitive position will depend in large part on our ability to
continue to maintain these relationships as well as finding
additional securities broker-dealers to facilitate offerings by
our programs or to find investors for our TIC programs. We
cannot be sure that we will continue to gain access to these
channels. In addition, competition for capital is intense, and
we may not be able to obtain the capital required to complete a
program. The inability to have this access could have a material
adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
The
termination of any of our broker-dealer relationships,
especially given the limited number of key broker-dealers, could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our securities programs are sold through third-party
broker-dealers who are members of our selling group. While we
have established relationships with our selling group, we are
required to enter into a new agreement with each member of the
selling group for each new program we offer. In addition, our
programs may be removed from a selling broker-dealer’s
approved program list at any time for any reason. We cannot
assure you of the continued participation of existing members of
our selling group nor can we assure you that our selling group
will expand. While we continue to diversify and add new
investment channels for our
programs, a significant portion of the growth in recent years in
the number of TIC programs we sponsor and in our REITs has been
as a result of capital raised by a relatively limited number of
broker-dealers. Loss of any of these key broker-dealer
relationships, or the failure to develop new relationships to
cover our expanding business through new investment channels,
could have a material adverse effect on our business and results
of operations.
Misconduct
by third-party selling broker-dealers or our sales force, could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
We rely on selling broker-dealers and our sales force to
properly offer our securities programs to customers in
compliance with our selling agreements and with applicable
regulatory requirements. While these persons are responsible for
their activities as registered broker-dealers, their actions may
nonetheless result in complaints or legal or regulatory action
against us.
A
significant amount of our revenue is derived from fees earned
through the transaction structuring and property management of
our TIC programs, which programs rely primarily on
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code to provide for
deferral of capital gains taxes to make these programs
attractive. A change in this tax code section or a complete
revocation of this section as it relates specifically to TICs
could result in a loss of a significant part of our business and
as a result a significant amount of revenue.
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code provides for the
deferral of capital gains taxes which would ordinarily arise
from the sale of real estate through a tax-deferred exchange of
property, which defers the recognition of capital gains tax
until such time as the replacement property is sold in a taxable
transaction. These transactions are referred to as 1031
exchanges. In 2002, the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, issued
advance ruling guidelines outlining the requirements for
properly structured TIC arrangements, which we believe validate
the TIC structure generally and as we employ it. However, as
recently as May 2006, the Senate Finance Committee proposed a
bill in the negotiations over the budget reconciliation
tax-cutting package to modify Section 1031 treatment for
TICs as a way to raise additional tax revenue. The proposal was
unsuccessful, but we cannot assure you that in the future there
will not be attempts to limit or disallow the tax deferral
benefits for TIC transactions. If we were no longer able to
structure TIC programs as 1031 exchanges for our investors, we
would lose a significant amount of revenue in the future, which
would materially affect our results of operations. Moreover, any
attempt to limit or disallow the tax deferral benefits of the
1031 exchange generally would have a material adverse effect on
the real estate industry generally and on our business and
results of operations.
A
significant amount of our programs are structured to provide
favorable tax treatment to investors or REITs. If a program
fails to satisfy the requirements necessary to permit this
favorable tax treatment, we could be subject to claims by
investors and our reputation for structuring these transactions
would be negatively affected, which would have an adverse effect
on our financial condition and results of
operations.
We structure TIC programs and public non-traded REITs to provide
favorable tax treatment to investors. For example, our TIC
investors are able to defer the recognition of gain on sale of
investment or business property if they enter into a 1031
exchange. Similarly, qualified REITs generally are not subject
to federal income tax at corporate rates, which permits REITs to
make larger distributions to investors (i.e. without
reduction for federal income tax imposed at the corporate
level). If we fail to properly structure a TIC transaction or if
a REIT fails to satisfy the complex requirements for
qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
Code, we could be subject to claims by investors as a result of
additional tax they may be required to pay or because they are
unable to receive the distributions they expected at the time
they made their investment. In addition, any failure to satisfy
applicable tax regulations in structuring our programs would
negatively affect our reputation, which would in turn affect our
ability to earn additional fees from new programs. Claims by
investors could lead to losses and any reduction in our fees
would have a material adverse effect on our revenues.
If the
properties that we manage fail to perform, then the fees we
receive from them will be reduced or may cease and our financial
condition and results of operations would be
harmed.
Our success depends significantly upon the performance of the
properties we manage. The revenue we generate from our
management services business is generally a percentage of gross
rental income from the properties. The performance of these
properties will depend upon the following factors, among others,
many of which are partially or completely outside of our control:
•
our ability to attract and retain creditworthy tenants;
•
the magnitude of defaults by tenants under their respective
leases;
•
our ability to control operating expenses;
•
present and future governmental regulations, local rent control
or stabilization ordinances;
•
various uninsurable risks, such as earthquakes and hurricanes;
•
financial conditions prevailing generally and in the areas in
which these properties are located;
•
the nature and extent of competitive properties; and
•
the real estate industry in general, including potential
increases in interest rates and tenant defaults and declines in
real estate values and rental and occupancy rates.
Any
future co-investment activities we undertake could subject us to
real estate investment risks which could lead to the need for
substantial capital contributions, which may impact our cash
flows and financial condition and, if we are unable to make
them, could damage our reputation and result in adverse
consequences to our holdings.
We may from time to time invest our capital in certain real
estate investments with other real estate firms or with
institutional investors such as pension plans. Any co-investment
will generally require us to make initial capital contributions,
and some co-investment entities may request additional capital
from us and our subsidiaries holding investments in those
assets. These contributions could adversely impact our cash
flows and financial condition. Moreover, the failure to provide
these contributions could have adverse consequences to our
interests in these investments. These adverse consequences could
include damage to our reputation with our co-investment partners
as well as dilution of ownership and the necessity of obtaining
alternative funding from other sources that may be on
disadvantageous terms, if available at all.
If we
are unable to retain our Chairman and key employees, their
replacements may not manage our company as
effectively.
We depend on the services of our Chairman and largest
stockholder, Anthony W. Thompson, as well as our other key
executive officers: Scott D. Peters, Andrea R. Biller, Francene
LaPoint and Jeffrey T. Hanson. We have obtained key person
insurance for Mr. Thompson. However, the loss of any or all
of these executives, and our inability to find, or any delay in
finding, a replacement with equivalent skill and experience,
could adversely impact our ability to facilitate the structuring
of transactions, acquisitions, property management and
dispositions.
Lack
of broad geographic diversity may expose our programs to
regional economic downturns that could adversely impact their
operations and as a result the fees we are able to generate from
them, including fees on disposition of the properties as we may
be limited in our ability to dispose of properties in a
challenging real estate market.
Our programs generally focus on acquiring assets satisfying
particular investment criteria, such as type or quality of
tenants. There is generally no or little focus on the geographic
location of a particular property. We cannot guarantee, however,
that our programs will have or, will be able to maintain, a
significant amount of geographic diversity. As of
December 31, 2006, a majority of our programs’
properties (by square footage) were located in Texas,
California, Florida and Colorado. Geographic concentration of
properties exposes our
programs to economic downturns in the areas where the properties
are located. A regional recession or other major, localized
economic disruption in a region, such as earthquakes and
hurricanes, in any of these areas could adversely affect our
programs’ ability to generate or increase their operating
revenues, attract new tenants or dispose of unproductive
properties. Any reduction in program revenues would effectively
reduce the fees we generate from them, which would adversely
affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The
failure of Triple Net Properties and Realty to hold the required
real estate licenses may subject us to penalties, such as fines,
restitution payments and termination of management agreements,
and to the suspension or revocation of Realty’s broker
licenses.
Although Realty was required to have real estate licenses in
states in which it acted as a broker for our programs and
received real estate commissions, Realty did not hold a license
in certain of those states when it earned fees for those
services. In addition, almost all of Triple Net Properties’
revenue was based on an arrangement with Realty to share fees
from our programs. Triple Net Properties did not hold a real
estate license in any state, although most states in which
properties of our programs were located may have required Triple
Net Properties to hold a license in order to share fees. As a
result, we may be subject to penalties, such as fines (which
could be a multiple of the amount received), restitution
payments and termination of management agreements, and to the
suspension or revocation of Realty’s real estate broker
licenses.
If
third-party managers providing property management services for
our programs’ office, healthcare office, retail and
multi-family properties are negligent in their performance of,
or default on, their management obligations, the tenants may not
renew their leases or we may become subject to unforeseen
liabilities. If this occurs, it could have an adverse effect on
our financial condition and operating results.
We have entered into agreements with third-party management
companies to provide property management services for a
significant number of our programs’ properties, and we
expect to enter into similar third-party management agreements
with respect to properties our programs acquire in the future.
We do not supervise these third-party managers and their
personnel on a
day-to-day
basis and we cannot assure you that they will manage our
programs’ properties in a manner that is consistent with
their obligations under our agreements, that they will not be
negligent in their performance or engage in other criminal or
fraudulent activity, or that these managers will not otherwise
default on their management obligations to us. If any of the
foregoing occurs, the relationships with our programs’
tenants could be damaged, which may cause the tenants not to
renew their leases, and we could incur liabilities resulting
from loss or injury to the properties or to persons at the
properties. If we are unable to lease the properties or we
become subject to significant liabilities as a result of
third-party management performance issues, our operating results
and financial condition could be substantially harmed.
To
execute our business strategy, we or our new programs may be
required to incur indebtedness to raise sufficient funds to
purchase properties.
One of our business strategies is to develop new programs. The
development of a new program requires the identification and
subsequent acquisition of properties when the opportunity
arises. In some instances, in order to effectively and
efficiently complete a program, we may provide deposits for the
acquisition of property or actually purchase the property and
warehouse it temporarily for the program. If we do not have cash
on hand available to pay these deposits or fund an acquisition,
we or our programs may be required to incur additional
indebtedness, which indebtedness may not be available on
acceptable terms. If we incur substantial debt, we could lose
our interests in any properties that have been provided as
collateral for any secured borrowing, or we could lose our
assets if the debt is recourse to us. In addition, our cash flow
from operations may not be sufficient to repay these obligations
upon their maturity, making it necessary for us to raise
additional capital or dispose of some of our assets. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to borrow additional debt on
satisfactory terms, or at all.
We may
be required to repay loans we guaranteed that were used to
finance properties acquired by our programs.
From time to time we provide certain guarantees of loans for
properties under management. As of December 31, 2006, there
were 107 loans for properties under management that were
guaranteed, with approximately $2.4 billion in total
principal outstanding secured by properties with a total
aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.4 billion.
Substantially all of the approximate $2.4 billion total
principal outstanding guaranteed was non-recourse/carve-out
guarantees, and of this amount, $26.4 million was in the
form of mezzanine debt and $28.7 million was other
full/partial recourse guarantees. If we are called upon to
satisfy a substantial portion of these guarantees, our operating
results and financial condition could be materially harmed.
The
revenue streams from our management services may be subject to
limitation or cancellation.
The agreements under which we provide advisory and management
services to public non-traded REITs may generally be terminated
by each REIT following a notice period, with or without cause.
We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be
terminated. In addition, if we have a significant amount of TIC
programs selling their properties or public non-traded REITs
liquidating in the same period, our revenues would decrease
unless we are able to find replacement programs to generate new
fees. We are currently in the process of liquidating two of our
public non-traded REITs and, as a result, our management fees
from these REITs have been reduced due to the number of
properties that have been sold. Any decrease in our fees, as a
result of termination of a contract or customary close out or
liquidation of a program, could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our
revenue is subject to volatility in capital raising efforts by
us.
The potential growth in revenue from our transaction and
management services depends in large part on future capital
raising in existing or future programs, as well as on our
ability to make resultant acquisitions on behalf of our
programs, both of which are subject to uncertainty, including
uncertainty with respect to capital market and real estate
market conditions. This uncertainty can create volatility in our
earnings because of the resulting increased volatility in
transaction and management services revenues. Our revenue may be
negatively affected by factors that include not only our
inability to increase our portfolio of properties under
management, but also changes in valuation of those properties
and sales (through planned liquidation or otherwise) of
properties.
Prior
waivers and credits of fees for certain of our TIC programs
could result in claims by some of the investors in those
programs.
Historically, we have on occasion reduced the investment cost
for some, but not all, investors in the same TIC program by
waiving or crediting all or a portion of our fees for the real
estate acquisition or financing for the TIC program, and we may
do so again in the future. Our purpose in doing so has been to
improve projected investment returns and attract TIC investors.
As a result of these waivers and credits, in some of our TIC
programs investors have different investment costs per
percentage ownership interest in the relevant property. While
our offering materials for prior TIC programs disclosed the
possibility that we might offer waivers and credits for specific
types of fees on a selective basis to some, but not all, TIC
investors, they did not disclose all of the categories of fees
for which we actually provided credits. Consequently, investors
in these programs who did not receive the waivers or credits
could bring claims against us. We have modified the disclosure
in our offering materials for current and future TIC programs to
make clear that we may waive or credit any or all categories of
our fees in a program on a selective basis to some, but not all,
TIC investors in the same program; that these waivers and
credits may be made on a disproportionate basis; and that the
waiver or credit provided to a particular investor may exceed
the fees allocated to that investor.
We
experienced weaknesses in certain internal controls over
financial reporting and insufficient disclosure and real estate
regulatory oversight that we will need to
strengthen.
In 2006, we experienced material weaknesses and significant
deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.
Ensuring that we have adequate financial and accounting controls
to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis and
sufficient legal compliance oversight are costly and
time-consuming efforts that need to be evaluated frequently.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective controls and
procedures for financial reporting may result in our inability
to provide timely and accurate financial information.
Future
pressures to lower, waive or credit back our fees could reduce
our revenue and profitability.
We have on occasion waived or credited our fees for real estate
acquisitions and financings for our TIC programs to improve
projected investment returns and attract TIC investors. There
has also been a trend toward lower fees in some segments of the
third-party asset management business, and fees paid for the
management of properties in our TIC programs or public
non-traded REITs could follow these trends. In order for us to
maintain our fee structure in a competitive environment, we must
be able to provide clients with investment returns and service
that will encourage them to be willing to pay such fees. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our current
fee structures. Fee reductions on existing or future new
business could have a material adverse impact on our revenue and
profitability.
If we
fail to comply with laws and regulations applicable to real
estate brokerage, we may incur significant financial
penalties.
Due to the geographic scope of our operations and various real
estate services we provide, we are subject to numerous federal,
state and local laws and regulations specific to the services
performed. For example, the brokerage of real estate sales and
leasing transactions requires us to maintain brokerage licenses
in each state in which we operate. If we fail to maintain our
licenses or conduct brokerage activities without a license, we
may be required to pay fines or return commissions received or
have licenses suspended. In addition, because the size and scope
of real estate sales transactions have increased significantly
during the past several years, both the difficulty of ensuring
compliance with the numerous state licensing regimes and the
possible loss resulting from non-compliance have increased.
Furthermore, the laws and regulations applicable to our business
also may change in ways that increase the costs of compliance.
Regulatory
uncertainties related to our dealer-manager services could harm
our business.
The securities industry in the United States is subject to
extensive regulation under both federal and state laws.
Broker-dealers are subject to regulations covering all aspects
of the securities business. The Securities and Exchange
Commission, or SEC, the National Association of Securities
Dealers, or the NASD, and other self-regulatory organizations
and state securities commissions can censure, fine, issue
cease-and-desist
orders to, suspend or expel a broker-dealer or any of its
officers or employees. The ability to comply with applicable
laws and rules is largely dependent on an internal system to
ensure compliance, as well as the ability to attract and retain
qualified compliance personnel. We could be subject to
disciplinary or other actions in the future due to claimed
noncompliance with these securities regulations, which could
have a material adverse effect on our operations and
profitability.
Our
failure to manage future growth effectively may have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.
We may experience continued rapid growth in our operations,
which may place a significant strain on our management,
administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our
success will depend in part upon the ability of our executive
officers to manage growth effectively. Our ability to grow also
depends upon our ability to successfully hire, train, supervise
and manage new employees, obtain financing for our capital
needs, expand our systems effectively, allocate our human
resources optimally, maintain clear lines of communication
between our transactional and management functions and our
finance and accounting functions and manage the pressures on our
management and our administrative, operational and financial
infrastructure. We also
cannot assure you that we will be able to accurately anticipate
and respond to the changing demands we will face as we continue
to expand our operations, and we may not be able to manage
growth effectively or to achieve growth at all. Any failure to
manage our future growth effectively could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
We
depend upon our programs’ tenants to pay rent, and their
inability to pay rent may substantially reduce the fees we
receive which are based on gross rental amounts.
Our programs are subject to varying degrees of risk that
generally arise from the ownership of real estate. For example,
the income we are able to generate from management fees is
derived from the gross rental income on the properties in our
programs. The rental income depends upon the ability of the
tenants of our programs’ properties to generate enough
income to make their lease payments to us. Changes beyond our
control may adversely affect the tenants’ ability to make
lease payments or could require them to terminate their leases.
Either an inability to make lease payments or a termination of
one or more leases could reduce the management fees we receive.
These changes include, among others, the following:
•
downturns in national or regional economic conditions where our
programs’ properties are located, which generally will
negatively impact the demand and rental rates;
•
changes in local market conditions such as an oversupply of
properties, including space available by sublease or new
construction, or a reduction in demand for properties in our
programs, making it more difficult for our programs to lease
space at attractive rental rates or at all;
•
competition from other available properties, which could cause
our programs to lose current or prospective tenants or cause
them to reduce rental rates; and
•
changes in federal, state or local regulations and controls
affecting rents, prices of goods, interest rates, fuel and
energy consumption.
Due to these changes, among others, tenants and lease
guarantors, if any, may be unable to make their lease payments.
Defaults by tenants or the failure of any guarantors of
tenants’ guarantor to fulfill their obligations, or other
early termination of a lease could, depending upon the size of
the leased premises and our ability as property manager to
successfully find a substitute tenant, have a material adverse
effect on our revenue.
Conflicts
of interest inherent in transactions between our programs and
us, and among our programs, could create liability for us that
could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations and financial condition.
These conflicts include but are not limited to the following:
•
we experience conflicts of interests with certain of our
directors, officers and affiliates from time to time with regard
to any of our investments, transactions and agreements in which
they hold a direct or indirect pecuniary interest;
•
since we receive both management fees and acquisition and
disposition fees for our programs’ properties we could be
in conflict with our programs over whether their properties
should be sold or held by the program and we may make decisions
or take actions based on factors other than in the best interest
of investors of a particular sponsored investor program;
•
a component of the compensation of certain of our executives is
based on the performance of particular programs, which could
cause the executives to favor those programs over others;
•
we may face conflicts of interests as to how we allocate
property acquisition opportunities or prospective tenants among
competing programs;
•
we may face conflicts of interests if programs sell properties
to each other or invest in each other;
all agreements and arrangements, including those relating to
compensation, among us and our programs, are generally not the
result of arm’s-length negotiations; and
•
our executive officers will devote only as much of their time to
a program as they determine is reasonably required, which may be
substantially less than their full time; during times of intense
activity in other programs, these officers may devote less time
and fewer resources to a program than are necessary or
appropriate to manage the program’s business.
We cannot assure you that one or more of these conflicts will
not result in claims by investors in our programs, which could
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial condition.
Increased
competition relating to the services we provide could lead to a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.
We believe there are only limited barriers to entry in our
business. Current and future competitors may have more resources
than we have. In transaction services, we face competition with
other real estate firms in the acquisition and disposition of
properties, and we also compete with other sponsors of real
estate investor programs for investors to provide the capital to
allow us to make these investments. We also compete against
other real estate companies who may be chosen by a broker-dealer
as an investment platform instead of us. In management services,
we compete with other property managers for viable tenants for
our programs’ properties. We face competition from
institutions that provide or arrange for other types of
financing through private or public offerings of equity or debt
and from traditional bank financings. The number and activities
of our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
The
ongoing SEC investigation of Triple Net Properties and its
affiliates could adversely impact our ability to conduct our
real estate investment programs.
On September 16, 2004, Triple Net Properties learned that
the SEC Los Angeles Enforcement Division, or the SEC Staff, is
conducting an investigation referred to as “In the
matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.”The SEC
requested information from Triple Net Properties relating to
disclosure in public and private securities offerings sponsored
by Triple Net Properties and its affiliates prior to 2005, or
the Triple Net securities offerings. The SEC Staff also
requested information from Capital Corp., the dealer-manager for
the Triple Net securities offerings. The SEC Staff requested
financial and other information regarding the Triple Net
securities offerings and the disclosures included in the related
offering documents from each of Triple Net Properties and
Capital Corp.
Triple Net Properties and Capital Corp. are engaged in
settlement negotiations with the SEC staff regarding this
matter. Based on these negotiations, we believe that the
conclusion to this matter will not result in a material adverse
affect to our results of operations, financial condition or
ability to conduct our business. The settlement negotiations are
continuing, and any settlement negotiated with the SEC Staff
must be approved by the Commission. Since the matter is not
concluded, it remains subject to the risk that the SEC may seek
additional remedies, including substantial fines and injunctive
relief that, if obtained, could materially adversely affect our
ability to conduct our program offerings. Additionally, any
resolution of this matter that reflects negatively on our
reputation could materially and adversely affect the willingness
of our existing programs to continue to use our management
services and of potential investors to invest in our future
programs. The matters that are the subject of this investigation
could also give rise to claims against us by investors in our
programs. At this time, we cannot assess how or when the outcome
of the matter will be ultimately determined.
The
offerings conducted to raise capital for our TIC programs are
done in reliance on exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. A failure to satisfy the
requirements for the appropriate exemption could void the
offering or, if it is already completed, provide the investors
with rescission rights, either of which would have a material
adverse effect on our reputation and as a result our business
and results of operations.
The securities of our TIC programs are offered and sold in
reliance upon a private placement offering exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws. If we or our
dealer-manager
failed to comply with the requirements of the relevant exemption
and an offering were in process, we may have to terminate the
offering. If an offering was completed, the investors may have
the right, if they so desired, to rescind their purchase of the
securities. A rescission offer could also be required under
applicable state securities laws and regulations in states where
any securities were offered without registration or
qualification pursuant to a private offering or other exemption.
If a number of holders sought rescission at one time, the
applicable program would be required to make significant
payments which could adversely affect its business and as a
result, the fees generated by us from such program. If one of
our programs was forced to terminate an offering before it was
completed or to make a rescission offer, our reputation would
also likely be significantly harmed. Any reduction in fees as a
result of a rescission offer or a loss of reputation would have
a material adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
Risks
Related to the Real Estate Market
A
downturn in the general economy or the real estate market would
harm our business.
Our business is negatively impacted by periods of economic
slowdown or recession, rising interest rates and declining
demand for real estate. These economic conditions could have a
number of effects, which could have a material adverse impact on
certain segments of our business, including a decline in:
•
acquisition and disposition activity, with a corresponding
reduction in fees from these services;
•
the supply of capital invested in commercial real estate or in
commercial real estate investor programs;
•
the value of real estate, which would cause us to realize lower
revenue from property management fees, which in certain cases
are calculated as a percentage of the revenue of the property
under management; and
•
rental or occupancy rates or increase in tenant defaults.
The real estate market tends to be cyclical and related to the
condition of the economy and to the perceptions of investors and
users as to the economic outlook. A downturn in the economy or
the real estate market could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition or results of operations.
An
increase in interest rates may negatively affect the equity
value of our programs or cause us to lose potential investors to
alternative investments, causing the fees we receive for
transaction and management services to be reduced.
In the last two years, interest rates in the United States have
generally increased. If interest rates were to continue to rise,
our financing costs would likely rise and our net yield to
investors may decline. This downward pressure on net yields to
investors in our programs could compare poorly to rising yields
on alternative investments. Additionally, as interest rates
rise, valuations of commercial real estate properties typically
decline. A decrease in both the attractiveness of our programs
and the value of assets held by these programs could cause a
decrease in both transaction and management services revenues,
which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Increasing
competition for the acquisition of real estate may impede our
ability to make future acquisitions which would reduce the fees
we generate from these programs and could adversely affect our
operating results and financial condition.
The commercial real estate industry is highly competitive on an
international, national and regional level. Our programs face
competition from REITs, institutional pension plans, and other
public and private real estate companies and private real estate
investors for the acquisition of properties and for raising
capital to create programs to make these acquisitions.
Competition may prevent our programs from acquiring desirable
properties or increase the price they must pay for real estate.
In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds
competing for suitable investment properties may increase,
resulting in increased demand and increased prices paid for
these properties. If our programs pay higher prices for
properties, investors may experience a lower return on
investment and be less inclined to invest in our next program
which may decrease our profitability. Increased competition for
properties may also preclude our programs from acquiring
properties that would generate the most attractive returns to
investors or may reduce the number of properties our programs
could acquire, which could have an adverse effect on our
business.
Illiquidity
of real estate investments could significantly impede our
ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our
programs’ properties and harm our financial
condition.
Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our
ability to promptly facilitate a sale of one or more properties
or investments in our programs in response to changing economic,
financial and investment conditions may be limited. In
particular, these risks could arise from weakness in the market
for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects
of prospective purchasers, changes in regional, national or
international economic conditions, and changes in laws,
regulations or fiscal policies of jurisdictions in which the
property is located. Fees from the disposition of properties
would be materially affected if we were unable to facilitate a
significant number of property dispositions for our programs.
Uninsured
and underinsured losses may adversely affect
operations.
We carry commercial general liability, fire and extended
coverage insurance with respect to our programs’
properties. We obtain coverage that has policy specifications
and insured limits that we believe are customarily carried for
similar properties. We cannot assure you, however, that
particular risks that are currently insurable will continue to
be insurable on an economic basis or that current levels of
coverage will continue to be available. In addition, we
generally do not obtain insurance against certain risks, such as
floods.
Should a property sustain damage or an occupant sustain an
injury, we may incur losses due to insurance deductibles,
co-payments on insured losses or uninsured losses. In the event
of a substantial property loss or personal injury, the insurance
coverage may not be sufficient to pay the full damages. In the
event of an uninsured loss, we could lose some or all of our
capital investment, cash flow and anticipated profits related to
one or more properties. Inflation, changes in building codes and
ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also
might make it not feasible to use insurance proceeds to replace
a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under these
circumstances, the insurance proceeds we receive, if any, might
not be adequate to restore our economic position with respect to
the property. In the event of a significant loss at one or more
of the properties in our programs, the remaining insurance under
the applicable policy, if any, could be insufficient to
adequately insure the remaining properties. In this event,
securing additional insurance, if possible, could be
significantly more expensive than the current policy. A loss at
any of these properties or an increase in premium as a result of
a loss could decrease the income from or value of properties
under management in our programs, which in turn would reduce the
fees we receive from these programs. Any decrease or loss in
fees could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition or results of operations.
Environmental
regulations may adversely impact our business or cause us to
incur costs for cleanup of hazardous substances or wastes or
other environmental liabilities.
Federal, state and local laws and regulations impose various
environmental zoning restrictions, use controls, and disclosure
obligations which impact the management, development, use,
and/or sale
of real
estate. These laws and regulations tend to discourage sales
activities with respect to some properties, and by decreasing or
delaying those transactions may adversely affect the results of
operations and financial condition of our business. In addition,
a failure by us or one of our programs to disclose environmental
concerns in connection with a real estate disposition may
subject us to liability to a buyer or lessee of property.
In addition, in our role as a property manager, we could incur
liability under environmental laws for the investigation or
remediation of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes at
properties we currently or formerly managed, or at off-site
locations where wastes from such properties were disposed. This
liability can be imposed without regard for the lawfulness of
the original disposal activity, or our knowledge of, or fault
for, the release or contamination. Further, liability under some
of these laws may be joint and several, meaning that one liable
party could be held responsible for all costs related to a
contaminated site. We could also be held liable for property
damage or personal injury claims alleged to result from
environmental contamination, or from asbestos-containing
materials, mold or lead-based paint present at the properties we
manage. Similarly, we are obliged, under the debt financing
arrangements on the properties owned by our TIC programs, to
provide an indemnity to the lenders for environmental
liabilities and to remediate any environmental problems that
might arise. Insurance for these matters may not be available.
Certain requirements governing the removal or encapsulation of
asbestos-containing materials, as well as recently enacted local
ordinances obligating property managers to inspect for and
remove lead-based paint in certain buildings, could increase our
costs of legal compliance and potentially subject us to
violations or claims. Further, mold contamination has been
linked to a number of health problems, which has resulted in
litigation from tenants seeking various remedies. There can be
no assurance that our programs will not be subject to litigation
relating to asbestos mold contamination or that any claims would
be covered by our insurance policy.
Risks
Relating to the Offering and Our Common Stock
Being
a public company will increase our expenses and administrative
workload.
As a public company, we will be required to comply with certain
additional laws, regulations and requirements, including
provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended,
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
requirements of the exchange on which our shares are listed,
with which we are not required to comply as private company. As
a result, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other
expenses that we did not incur as a private company. Complying
with these statutes, regulations and requirements will occupy a
significant amount of time of our board of directors and
management and may make some activities more difficult, time
consuming and costly. We will need to:
•
institute a more comprehensive compliance function;
•
establish new internal policies, such as those relating to
disclosure controls and procedures and insider trading;
•
design, establish, evaluate and maintain a system of internal
controls over financial reporting in compliance with the
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and
the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board;
•
prepare and distribute periodic reports in compliance with our
obligations under the federal securities laws;
•
involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and
accountants in the above activities; and
•
establish an investors relations function.
If we are unable to accomplish these objectives in a timely and
effective fashion, our ability to comply with our financial
reporting requirements and other rules that apply to reporting
companies could be impaired. If our finance and accounting
personnel insufficiently support us in fulfilling these
public-company compliance obligations, or if we are unable to
hire adequate finance and accounting personnel, we could face
significant legal liability, which could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of
operations. Furthermore, if we identify any issues in complying
with those requirements (for example, if we or our independent
registered public accountants identified a material weakness or
significant deficiency in our internal control over financial
reporting), we could incur additional costs rectifying those
issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect
us, our reputation or investor perceptions of us.
In addition, we also expect that being a public company subject
to these rules and regulations will require us to modify our
director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required
to accept reduced policy limits or incur substantially higher
costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These factors
could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain
qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to
serve on our audit committee, and qualified executive officers.
If we
fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over
financial reporting or fail to comply with Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to accurately report
our financial results or to prevent fraud, and our stock price
could decline.
As a public company, we will be required to evaluate, document
and test our internal control over financial reporting in order
to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404. Beginning with our
Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ending December 31, 2008, Section 404
requires us to evaluate and report on our internal control over
financial reporting and have our independent registered public
accountants attest to our evaluation. Such report will contain,
among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the
year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal
control over financial reporting is effective. This assessment
must include disclosure of any material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting identified by management. The
report will also contain a statement that our independent
registered public accountants have issued an attestation report
on management’s assessment of internal controls. The rules
governing the standards that must be met for management to
assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex
and require significant documentation, testing and possible
remediation to meet the detailed standards under the rules. In
addition, if we identify one or more significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting, and if we cannot remediate in time to meet a deadline
for compliance with Section 404, we will be unable to
assert that such internal controls are effective.
We have prepared an internal plan of action for compliance with
Section 404 and for strengthening and testing our system of
internal control to provide the basis for our report, but we
cannot assure you that this plan of action will be sufficient to
meet the rigorous requirements of Section 404. In addition,
our independent registered public accountants may issue an
adverse opinion regarding management’s assessment of
Section 404 compliance. It is also possible that our
independent registered public accountants may not be in a
position to adequately assess our compliance with
Section 404 on a timely basis, which could lead to our
inability to comply with our reporting requirements under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If we are unable to
conclude that we have effective internal control over financial
reporting or our independent registered public accountants are
unable to provide us with an unqualified report, investors could
lose confidence in our reported financial information and our
company, which could result in a decline in the market price of
our common stock, and cause us to fail to meet our reporting
obligations in the future, which in turn could impact our
ability to raise additional financing if needed in the future.
Our failure to comply with Section 404 or our reporting
requirements could also subject us to a variety of
administrative sanctions, including the suspension or delisting
of our common stock from any exchange on which our common stock
may become listed and the inability of registered
broker-dealers
to make a market in our common stock.
Our
common stock has no prior public market, and it is not possible
to predict how our stock will perform after this
offering.
There has not been a public market for our common stock. An
active trading market for our common stock may not develop
following this offering. You may not be able to sell your shares
quickly or at the market price if trading in our common stock is
not active. The initial public offering price for the shares may
not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading
market.
If our
stock price is volatile, purchasers of our common stock could
incur substantial losses.
Even if an active trading market for our common stock develops,
the market price for our common stock may be highly volatile and
could be subject to wide fluctuations. The stock market in
general often experiences substantial volatility that is
seemingly unrelated to the operating performance of particular
companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect
the trading price of our common stock. As a result of this
volatility, investors may not be able to sell their common stock
at or above the initial public offering price. The price for our
common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be
influenced by many factors, including:
•
the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock;
•
developments generally affecting the healthcare industry;
•
investor perceptions of us and our business;
•
actions by institutional or other large stockholders;
•
strategic action, such as acquisitions or restructurings, or the
introduction of new services by us or our competitors;
•
new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws
or regulations applicable to our business;
•
litigation and governmental investigations;
•
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance,
interpretations or principles;
•
adverse condition in the financial market or general economic
conditions, including those resulting from war, incidents of
terrorism and responses to such events;
•
sales of common stock by us or members of our management team;
•
additions or departures of key personnel; and
•
our results of operations, financial performance and future
prospects.
These and other factors may cause the market price and demand
for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit
or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common
stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our
common stock. In addition, in the past, when the market price of
a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have instituted
securities class action litigation against the company that
issued the stock. If any of our stockholders brought a lawsuit
against us, we could incur substantial costs defending or
settling the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time
and attention of our management from our business.
If
securities or industry analysts do not publish research or
reports about our business, if they change their recommendations
regarding our stock adversely or if our operating results do not
meet their expectations, our stock price and trading volume
could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by
the research and reports that industry or securities analysts
publish about us or our business. If one or more of these
analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish
reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the
financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or
trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the
analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or if our operating
results do not meet their expectations, our stock price could
decline.
Our
Chairman and other key executive officers own a significant
amount of our outstanding common stock and may significantly
influence the management and policies of our company, in ways
with which you may disagree.
As of December 31, 2006, Anthony W. Thompson, our Chairman
of the Board and largest stockholder, beneficially owned or
controlled 25.9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
In addition, Scott D. Peters, Andrea R. Biller, Francene LaPoint
and Jeffrey T. Hanson, our key executive officers, beneficially
owned or controlled in the aggregate approximately 2.0% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result,
Mr. Thompson and our other key executive officers will be
able to exercise significant influence over the election of our
directors, and therefore, our management and policies, through
their collective voting power and may vote their shares of our
common stock in ways with which you may disagree or which may be
adverse to your interests as a stockholder. This voting
concentration may discourage, delay or prevent a change in
control or acquisition of our company, even one that you believe
is beneficial to you as a stockholder. This voting concentration
may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock
due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may
exist or arise.
You
may experience dilution of your ownership interests due to the
future issuance of additional shares of our common
stock.
We may in the future issue our previously authorized and
unissued securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership
interests of our present stockholders and purchasers of common
stock offered hereby. We are currently authorized to issue
95,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares
of preferred stock with preferences and rights as determined by
our board of directors. As of December 31, 2006,
42,366,407 shares of common stock were issued and
outstanding. Pursuant to our 2006 Long-term Incentive Plan, we
reserved 2,339,200 shares of our common stock for issuance
as restricted stock, stock options
and/or other
equity based grants to employees and directors. Of the reserved
shares, 1,436,200 may be awarded as restricted stock and 903,000
may be awarded as stock options
and/or other
equity based grants. As of March 31, 2007, we have issued
615,000 shares of common stock, as restricted stock, to our
initial four independent directors and certain executive
officers and employees. Additionally, we have granted to certain
executive officers and employees options to purchase up to
903,000 of our shares of our common stock with an option
exercise price equal to $10.00 per share.
The potential issuance of additional shares of common stock may
create downward pressure on the trading price of our common
stock. We may also issue additional shares of our common stock
or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for
common stock in connection with the hiring of personnel, future
acquisitions, future private placements of our securities for
capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes.
Future
sales of shares of our common stock could have an adverse effect
on our stock price.
As of December 31, 2006, Anthony W. Thompson, our Chairman
of the Board and largest stockholder, beneficially owned or
controlled 25.9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
In addition, Scott D. Peters, Andrea R. Biller, Francene LaPoint
and Jeffrey T. Hanson, our key executive officers, beneficially
owned or controlled in the aggregate approximately 2.0% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. We initially reserved
2,339,200 shares of our common stock for issuance to our
officers, non-employee directors, employees, and consultants in
the form of restricted stock or options to purchase shares of
our common stock pursuant to our 2006 Long-term Incentive Plan.
Of the reserved shares, we currently have 821,200 shares of
common stock, as restricted stock, available for future
issuance. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common
stock, or the perception that sales could occur, could have a
material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
We may
not be able to obtain additional financing when we need it or on
acceptable terms, and any such financing may adversely affect
the market price of our common stock.
There can be no assurance that the anticipated cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to meet all of our cash
requirements. We intend to continue to make investments to
support our business growth and may required additional funds to
respond to business challenges. Accordingly, we may need to
complete additional equity or debt financings to secure
additional funds. We cannot assure you that further equity or
debt financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
In addition, the terms of any debt financing may restrict our
financial and operating flexibility. If we raise additional
funds through further issuances of equity or debt securities,
our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and
any new equity securities we issue could have rights,
preferences and privileges superior to those of holders or our
common stock, including share of common stock sold in this
offering. Our inability to obtain any needed financing, or the
terms on which it may be available, could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
Although
we intend to declare quarterly dividends, we cannot assure you
when or whether we will declare future dividends or the amount
of any dividends that may be declared in the
future.
Although our management has recommended to our board of
directors that it declare quarterly dividends, future cash
dividends will depend upon our results of operations, financial
condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and
other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
Also, there can be no assurance we will pay dividends even if
the necessary financial conditions are met and sufficient cash
is available for distribution.
Provisions
under Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws
could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which
could adversely affect the price of our common
stock.
The existence of some provisions under Delaware law, our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws could delay or prevent a
change in control, which could adversely affect the price of our
common stock. Delaware law imposes restrictions on mergers and
other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or
more of our outstanding common stock.
We are including the following discussion to inform you of some
of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company.
Various statements contained in this prospectus, including those
that express a belief, expectation, or intention, as well as
those that are not statements of historical fact, are
forward-looking statements. We use words such as
“believe,”“intend,”“expect,”“anticipate,”“plan,”“may,”“will,”“should” and similar expressions
to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking
statements in this prospectus speak only as of the date of this
prospectus; we disclaim any obligation to update these
statements unless required by applicable securities laws, and we
caution you not to rely on them unduly. You are further
cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees
of future performance. Our beliefs, expectations and intentions
can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not
all of which are known to us or are within our control, and a
number of risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements. Such factors, risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to:
•
our dependence on the success of real estate investment programs
for generating revenue and raising new capital;
•
our dependence on third-party securities broker-dealers to raise
the capital to fund our programs;
•
a change or revocation of the applicable tax code which provides
for the current TIC structure and benefits;
•
a failure to satisfy requirements for favorable tax treatment of
our programs;
•
fluctuation in our cash flow or earnings as a result of any
co-investments, especially in the event we are required to make
future capital contributions;
•
our reliance on our Chairman and largest stockholder as well as
our other key executive officers;
•
conflicts of interest in transactions and arrangements between
us, or our directors, officers and affiliates, and our programs,
and among our programs;
•
risks related to the real estate industry in general, including
risks related to potential increases in interest rates and
tenant defaults and declines in real estate values and rental
and occupancy rates; and
•
the other risks identified in this prospectus including, without
limitation, those under the headings “Risk Factors,”“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” and
“Business.”
You should carefully consider these and other factors, risks and
uncertainties before you make an investment decision with
respect to our common stock.
The proceeds from the sale of each of the selling
stockholder’s common stock will belong to that selling
stockholder. We will not receive any proceeds from such sales.
For the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and March 31,2007, our board of directors declared dividends per share of our
common stock of $0.09 and $0.045, respectively. We intend to pay
a $0.09 quarterly dividend for the remainder of 2007. The
determination to pay the initial dividend and regular quarterly
cash dividends to our stockholders is at the discretion of our
board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition,
results of operations, capital requirements, general business
conditions and other factors that our board of directors may
deem relevant. The percentage of our dividends that exceeds our
current accumulated earnings and profits may vary substantially
from year to year. For a discussion of the tax treatment of
dividends to our
non-United
States stockholders, see “U.S. Federal Tax
Considerations for
Non-U.S. Stockholders.”
We cannot assure you of the amount of any dividends that may be
declared in the future, if at all. If we are unable to
successfully execute our business strategy, we may not have cash
available to make distributions.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial
condition and results of operations should be read together with
its financial statements and the related notes included
elsewhere in this prospectus and other financial information
appearing under “Selected Consolidated Financial Data”
and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Statements” The following discussion reflects our
performance for the periods listed and may not be indicative of
our future financial performance. In addition, some of the
information contained in this discussion and analysis or set
forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with
respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes
forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from the
results described in or implied by the forward-looking
statements contained in the following discussion and analysis as
a result of many factors, including those discussed in the
“Risk Factors” section of this offering memorandum.
Overview
and Background
We are a full-service commercial real estate asset management
and services firm. We sponsor real estate investment programs to
provide investors with the opportunity to engage in tax-deferred
exchanges of real property and to invest in other real estate
investment vehicles. We raise capital for these programs through
an extensive network of broker-dealer relationships. We also
structure, acquire, manage and disposes of real estate for these
programs, earning fees for each of these services.
We were organized in September 2006 to acquire each of Triple
Net Properties, LLC, Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., or
Realty, and NNN Capital Corp., or Capital Corp., and to bring
the businesses conducted by those companies under one corporate
umbrella. On November 16, 2006, we completed a
$160.0 million private placement of common stock to
institutional investors and certain accredited investors with
16 million shares of our common stock sold in the offering
at $10.00 per share.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Certain accounting policies are considered to be critical
accounting policies, as they require management to make
assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time
the estimate is made and changes in the accounting estimate are
reasonably likely to occur from period to period. We believe
that the following critical accounting policies reflect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition
Transaction Services Revenue — We earn fees
associated with structuring, negotiating and closing
acquisitions of real estate properties to third-party investors.
Such fees include acquisition and disposition fees. Acquisition
and disposition fees are earned and recognized when the
acquisition or disposition is closed. Organizational Marketing
Expense Allowance, or OMEA, fees are earned and recognized from
gross proceeds of equity raised in connection with these
offerings and are used to pay formation costs, as well as
organizational and marketing costs. We are entitled to loan
advisory fees for arranging financing related to properties
under management. These fees are collected and recognized upon
the closing of such loans.
Management Services Revenue — We earn asset and
property management fees primarily for managing the operations
of real estate properties owned by the real estate programs,
REITs and limited liability companies that invest in real estate
or value funds we sponsor. Such fees are based on
pre-established formulas and contractual arrangements and are
earned as such services are performed. We are entitled to
receive reimbursement for expenses associated with managing the
properties; these expenses include salaries for property
managers and other personnel providing services to the property.
Each property is charged an accounting fee for costs associated
with preparing financial reports. We are entitled to leasing
commissions when a new tenant is secured and upon tenant
renewals. Leasing commissions are recognized upon execution of
leases.
Dealer-Manager Services Revenue — We
facilitate capital raising transactions for our programs through
Capital Corp. We act as a dealer-manager exclusively for our
programs and do not provide securities services to any third
party. Our wholesale dealer-manager services are comprised of
raising capital for our programs through our selling
broker-dealer relationships. Most of the commissions, fees and
allowances earned for our dealer-manager services are passed on
to the selling broker-dealers as commissions and to cover
offering expenses, and we retain the balance.
Purchase
Price Allocation
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations,
with the assistance of independent valuation specialists, the
purchase price of acquired properties is allocated to tangible
and identified intangible assets and liabilities based on their
respective fair values. The allocation to tangible assets
(building and land) is based upon determination of the value of
the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow
models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors
considered include an estimate of carrying costs during the
expected
lease-up
periods considering current market conditions and costs to
execute similar leases. Additionally, the purchase price of the
applicable property is allocated to the above or below market
value of in-place leases and the value of
in-place
leases and related tenant relationships.
The value allocable to the above or below market component of
the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the
present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks
associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between
(i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the
lease over its remaining term, and (ii) our estimate of the
amounts that would be paid using fair market rates over the
remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above
market leases are included in identified intangible assets and
below market lease values are included in identified intangible
liabilities-net in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and are amortized to rental revenue over the
weighted-average remaining term of the acquired leases with each
property.
The total amount of identified intangible assets acquired is
further allocated to in-place lease costs and the value of
tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of
the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our
overall relationship with that respective tenant.
Characteristics considered in allocating these values include
the nature and extent of the credit quality and expectations of
lease renewals, among other factors. These allocations are
subject to change within one year of the date of purchase based
on information related to one or more events identified at the
date of purchase that confirm the value of an asset or liability
of an acquired property.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived
assets are periodically evaluated for potential impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their
carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the event that
periodic assessments reflect that the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding
interest) that are expected to result from the use and eventual
disposition of the asset, we would recognize an impairment loss
to the extent the carrying amount exceeded the fair value of the
property. We estimate the fair value using available market
information or other industry valuation techniques such as
present value calculations. No impairment losses were recognized
for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. For the
year ended December 31, 2004, we recognized an impairment
loss related to our land held for sale of $300,000. This
property was sold in 2005.
We recognize goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(“SFAS No. 142”). Under
SFAS No. 142, goodwill is recorded at its carrying
value and is tested for impairment at least annually or more
frequently if impairment indicators exist at a level of
reporting referred to as a reporting unit. Goodwill impairment
is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit
exceeds its estimated fair value. If a potential impairment
exists, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the
carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the
fair value of the reporting unit and
the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. We
identified no impairment indicators since the acquisition. We
recognize goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and
test the carrying value for impairment during the fourth quarter
of each year.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(“FIN No. 48”), which prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in
the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return, including a decision
whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction.
Additionally, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on the
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for
uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of
FIN No. 48 are effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2006. There may be an impact
from the adoption of FIN No. 48 related to the
acquisition of Capital Corp. on December 14, 2006 and we
are currently in the process of evaluating this impact. Other
than as it relates to the acquisition of Capital Corp., we
believe that the adoption of FIN No. 48 will not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior
Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current
Year Financial Statements
(“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108
provides guidance on the consideration of effects of prior year
misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the
purpose of a materiality assessment. The SEC staff believes
registrants must quantify errors using both a balance sheet and
income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach
results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant
quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is
material. SAB No. 108 is effective for the first
annual period ending after November 15, 2006 with early
application encouraged. The adoption of SAB No. 108 on
January 1, 2007 did not have a significant effect on our
consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
(“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective as of the
beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently assessing
the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 and its
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”).
SFAS No. 159 permits companies to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at
specified election dates. SFAS No. 159 will be
effective beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently
assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159
and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue
Transaction
Services
The $849,000, or 1.5%, increase in transaction related fees in
2006, was primarily due to increases of $2.9 million, or
7.5%, in real estate acquisition and disposition fees and
$3.9 million in other revenue primarily due to
$2.8 million in incentive fees in 2006 paid to us at
disposition. These increases were partially offset by decreases
of $3.7 million in OMEA fees and $2.0 million in loan
advisory fees associated with arranging financing for the
properties acquired.
The net increase in real estate acquisition and disposition fees
for the year ended December 31, 2006 was primarily due to a
$6.1 million, or 63.5%, increase in fees realized from the
sales of properties, with $15.7 million in fees realized
from the disposition of 22 properties, including
$5.3 million in fees earned as a result of the liquidation
of G REIT for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to
$9.6 million from the disposition of 28 properties for the
same period in 2005. Included in this increase was $686,000 in
net fees earned as a result of the acquisition of Realty (from
the acquisition date, November 16, 2006 through
December 31, 2006). Partially offsetting the increase in
disposition fees was a reduction of $410,000 as a result of
amortizing the identified intangible contract rights associated
with the acquisition of Realty. Fees on dispositions as a
percentage of aggregate sales price (excluding one property sold
in 2006 and five properties sold in 2005 for which we waived the
entire amount of the disposition fee) was 1.9% for the year
ended December 31, 2006, compared to 1.6% for the same
period in 2005.
Acquisition fees decreased $3.2 million, or 11.2%, for the
year ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period
in 2005. During 2006, we acquired 45 properties (including
five which were consolidated as of December 31, 2006) on
behalf of our sponsored programs for an approximate aggregate
total of $1.4 billion, compared to 40 properties for
an approximate aggregate total of $1.6 billion during
2005. The decrease in
aggregate asset size resulted in reduced fees of $716,000. Also
contributing to the decrease in acquisition fees was
$1.2 million in non-recurring credits granted to investors
between July and September 2006 and $1.6 million in
deferred fees due to consolidation of properties held for sale
at December 31, 2006; $893,000 of these deferred fees were
earned in the first quarter of 2007 with the remaining $725,000
expected to be earned in the second quarter of 2007. Partially
offsetting the decrease in fees was $321,000 as a result of a
slight increase on fees as a percentage of aggregate acquisition
price, which was 1.8% for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to 1.8% for the same period in 2005.
OMEA fees decreased $3.7 million, or 32.5%, to
$7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to $11.4 million for the same period in 2005. The
decrease in these fees was primarily due to $3.4 million in
fees waived for various investors in a number of other programs
and $774,000 in non-recurring credits granted to investors
between July and September 2006, partially offset by $380,000 as
a result of additional capital raised of $15.3 million in
2006.
Loan advisory fees decreased $2.0 million, or 31.1%, to
$4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2005,
primarily due to a decrease in the aggregate total loan balance
of properties acquired on behalf of our programs which resulted
in an approximate $1.5 million decrease in loan advisory
fees and $547,000 in credits granted to investors between July
and September 2006 in two of our programs.
Transaction services revenue increased $849,000, or 1.5%, to
$56.9 million, or 59.1% as a percentage of total services
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to
$56.0 million, or 64.3% as a percentage of total services
revenue for the same period in 2005. The increase in transaction
services revenue was primarily due to an increase in the fees
earned from the disposition of properties.
Management
Services
The $7.6 million, or 24.3%, increase in management services
was primarily due to an increase in property and asset
management fees of $6.6 million, or 24.6%, to
$33.3 million for 2006, compared to $26.7 million for
2005. This increase was primarily the result of the growth in
recurring revenue, as total square footage of assets under
management increased to an average of approximately
26.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to approximately 22.9 million for the same period
in 2005. Property and asset management fees per average square
foot was $1.27 for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to $1.17 for the same period in 2005.
Management services revenue also increased to 40.1% as a
percentage of total services revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2006, compared to 35.7% as a percentage of
total services revenue for the same period in 2005.
Dealer-Manager
Services
As a result of the completion of the acquisition of Capital
Corp. on December 14, 2006, we earned $722,000 in
dealer-manager revenue from the acquisition date through
December 31, 2006.
Other
Revenue
Rental Revenue. Rental revenue increased to
$9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to $3.8 million in the same period in 2005
primarily due to the acquisition of a property in June 2005 and
rents received under
sub-leases
with third parties which commenced in the second half of 2005.
Interest Income. The $847,000, or 42.8%,
increase in interest income was primarily due to a $645,000
increase in interest on advances for deposits on properties
acquired and $202,000 in interest on advances to properties.
Total expense increased $23.1 million, or 31.2%, to
$97.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to $74.2 million for the same period in 2005.
Total services expense of $76.5 million in 2006 increased
as a percentage of total services revenue to 79.5%, compared to
65.4% of total services revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2005. During 2006, we incurred approximately
$12.5 million in non-recurring items and one time expenses
primarily due to the completion of an offering pursuant to
Rule 144A of the Securities Act, or the 144A offering, and
our formation transactions, compared to $5.0 million in
non-recurring items in 2005 due to expenses associated with the
SEC investigation. These non-recurring items primarily consisted
of $4.0 million in additional credits granted to investors,
$1.2 million in documentary and transfer taxes for one of
our programs, $978,000 in other
non-recurring
costs, $2.7 million in costs associated with the early
redemption of the $27.5 million participating loan credit
agreement with Wachovia Bank and $544,000 associated with the
redemption of Triple Net Properties’ redeemable preferred
membership units. Additionally, in September 2006, we awarded a
bonus of $2.1 million to our Chief Executive Officer, which
was payable in 283,165 membership units of Triple Net Properties
(converted to 202,368 shares of our common stock), or
$1.3 million, and cash of $854,000. We also paid a sign-on
bonus of $750,000 and incurred $333,000 in non cash stock-based
compensation expense related to one of our executives in 2006.
Excluding these non-recurring items, total services expense in
2006 as a percentage of total services revenue was approximately
65.0%, compared to approximately 60.0% of total services revenue
for the same period in 2005.
Transaction
Services Expense
Transaction related expense increased $15.9 million, or
58.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to
the same period in 2005 due to an increase of $11.5 million
in compensation related costs and $4.4 million in operating
and administrative expense.
Compensation costs increased $11.5 million, or 90.2%, to
$24.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to $12.8 million for the same period in 2005 and
included an increase of $6.1 million in salary related
costs, $3.0 million in bonuses and $1.8 million in
stock compensation expense. The increase in salary related costs
included an additional $552,000 as a direct result of hiring
additional personnel in preparing for strategic initiatives for
2006 and 2007, including NNN Apartment REIT, Inc. and
NNN Healthcare/Office REIT, Inc. as well as our Strategic
Office Fund I, L.P., with an overall increase of
approximately 45.0% in full-time equivalent employees. As of
December 31, 2006, there were approximately
202 full-time equivalent employees associated with
transaction related services, compared to 141 as of
December 31, 2005.
Operating and administrative expense increased by
$4.4 million, or 30.4%, to $19.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006, compared to $14.5 million for
the same period in 2005, primarily due to $4.0 million in
non-recurring credits granted to investors in the fourth quarter
of 2006, $1.6 million in documentary and transfer taxes and
closing and other transaction related costs that we agreed to
pay for programs we sponsored, $1.4 million of which was
related to one of our programs in the last half of 2006,
$720,000 in incentive fees associated with the disposition of
properties, $624,000 in rent expense due to leasing additional
space in our corporate headquarters building and
$1.3 million in other transaction related costs due to our
overall growth as we prepare our strategic platform related to
our new programs such as NNN Apartment REIT and
NNN Healthcare/Office REIT, as well as our Strategic Office
Fund I, L.P. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease of $4.0 million, or 36.8%, in OMEA related costs.
The OMEA fees earned from the offerings are used to pay legal
and formation costs as well as marketing related costs
associated with these programs.
Management
Services Expense
Management services related expense increased $3.0 million,
or 10.3%, to $32.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2006, compared to $29.6 million for the
same period in 2005, primarily due to an
increase of $7.1 million in compensation related costs,
offset by a decrease of $4.1 million in operating and
administrative expense.
Compensation costs increased $7.1 million, or 42.3%, to
$23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to $16.8 million for the same period in 2005 and
included an increase of $3.1 million in salary related
costs, $2.0 million in bonus and $1.8 million in stock
compensation expense. The increase in salary related costs
included an additional $544,000 as a direct result of hiring
additional personnel in preparing for strategic initiatives for
2006 and 2007, including NNN Apartment REIT and
NNN Healthcare/Office REIT, as well as our Strategic Office
Fund I, L.P., with an overall increase of approximately
16.0% in full-time equivalent employees. As of December 31,2006 there were approximately 216 full-time equivalent
employees associated with management related services, compared
to 186 as of December 31, 2005.
Operating and administrative expense decreased
$4.1 million, or 31.5%, to $8.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006, compared to $12.9 million for
the same period in 2005, primarily due to a $4.0 million
decrease in bad debt expense and $427,000 in operating expense,
partially offset by an increase of $524,000 in rent expense due
to leasing additional space in our corporate headquarters
building.
Dealer-Manager
Services Expense
As a result of the completion of the acquisition of Capital
Corp. on December 14, 2006, we incurred $559,000 in
dealer-manager expense from the acquisition date through
December 31, 2006.
Other
Operating Expense
Other operating expense increased $3.6 million, or 20.6%,
to $20.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to $17.3 million for the same period in 2005. The
net increase was primarily due to $5.2 million, or 117.5%,
in rental related expense attributable to a Colorado property
acquired from investors in one of our TIC programs and rental
related costs under leases with third parties which commenced in
the second half of 2005. Also contributing to the increase was
$4.6 million, or 287.1%, in interest expense primarily due
to a $2.0 million prepayment penalty associated with the
early redemption of the $27.5 million participating loan
credit agreement with Wachovia Bank entered into in September
2006 and repaid with the proceeds from our 144A private equity
offering as well as $1.0 million in interest on this
participating loan, $666,000 for a full year of interest
associated with notes payable on the acquired Colorado property,
and a $544,000 prepayment penalty for the early redemption of
the $6.1 million redeemable preferred liability. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease of
$4.6 million, or 117.9%, in reserves and other, which
consisted of a $2.9 million charge in June 2005 as a result
of the reduced valuation of the Colorado property and a
reduction of $700,000 in Triple Net Properties’ loss
contingency related to the SEC investigation. As of
December 31, 2006, $300,000 was accrued by Triple Net
Properties and $300,000 was accrued by Capital Corp., compared
to $1.0 million accrued by Triple Net Properties as of
December 31, 2005. Other decreases in operating expense
included $1.1 million in general and administrative costs
and $739,000 in depreciation and amortization expense.
Operating
Income
Operating income (operating revenue minus operating expense) for
the year ended December 31, 2006 of $11.0 million was
10.1% of total revenue, compared to $18.6 million, or 20.1%
of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2005. The
lower
year-over-year
operating income was a result of non-recurring items and one
time expenses that primarily resulted from the completion of our
144A private equity offering and formation transaction.
During 2006, we incurred approximately $15.0 million in
non-recurring items and one time expenses that primarily
resulted from the completion of our 144A private equity offering
and formation transactions, as well as a reduction of
disposition fees of $410,000 as a result of amortizing the
identified intangible contract rights associated with the
acquisition of Realty, compared to $5.0 million in
non-recurring items in 2005 due to expenses associated with the
SEC investigation. Excluding these non-recurring items,
operating income was $26.4 million, an increase of
$2.8 million, or 11.8%, in 2006, compared to
$23.7 million for the same period in 2005.

in 2006 whereby we retained 10% of the ownership interests, and
two were placed into our sponsored NNN Healthcare/Office
REIT, Inc. in the first quarter 2007. In accordance with
SFAS No. 144, for the year ended December 31,2006, discontinued operations included the net income (loss) of
one property and its associated LLC entity resold to a joint
venture and three properties and their associated LLC entities
classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2006 (See
Note 21 — Discontinued Operations of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements).
Income
Tax Benefit
We recognized a tax benefit of $4.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006. Effective with the close of our
144A private equity offering, Triple Net Properties became our
wholly-owned subsidiary, which caused a change in Triple Net
Properties’ tax status from a non-taxable partnership to a
taxable C corporation. The change in tax status required us to
recognize an income tax benefit of $2.9 million for the
future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between
GAAP basis and tax accounting principles as of the effective
date of November 15, 2006.
Net
Income
As a result of the above items, net income decreased
$2.0 million to $16.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2006, compared to net income of
$18.1 million for the same period in 2005.

Revenue
Transaction
Services
The $12.8 million, or 29.7%, increase in transaction
related fees was primarily due to an increase of
$9.7 million, or 35.4%, in acquisition fees, an increase of
$3.8 million, or 174.7%, in loan advisory fees
associated with arranging financing for the properties acquired
and $338,000 in OMEA fees, partially offset by a
$1.1 million decrease in acquisition fees primarily due to
NNN 2003 Value Fund LLC closing its offering in October 2004.
The increase in disposition fees of $9.7 million, or 35.4%,
was primarily due to an $8.1 million, or 533.2%, increase
in disposition fees realized from the sales of properties with
$9.6 million in disposition fees realized from the
disposition of 28 properties in 2005, compared to
$1.5 million realized from the disposition of nine
properties in 2004. Disposition fees as a percentage of
aggregate sales price (excluding 5 properties sold in 2005 and 1
property sold in 2004 for which we waived the entire amount of
the disposition fee) was 1.6% for the year ended
December 31, 2005, compared to 1.5% for the same period in
2004.
Also contributing to this increase was $1.6 million in
acquisition fees realized from the acquisition of real estate
assets primarily due to acquiring properties with greater
aggregate acquisition costs in 2005 compared to 2004. During
2005, we acquired 40 properties on behalf of our sponsored
programs for an approximate aggregate total of
$1.6 billion, compared to 41 properties for an approximate
aggregate total of $1.3 billion in 2004. Acquisition fees
as a percentage of aggregate acquisition price were 1.8% for the
year ended December 31, 2005, compared to 2.0% for same
period in 2004.
Transaction services revenue increased $12.8 million, or
29.7%, to $56.0 million during 2005. Transaction services
revenue was relatively consistent with 2004 as a percentage of
total services revenue (64.3% in 2005 compared to 66.5% in
2004). The increase in transaction revenue was primarily due to
an increase in the average purchase price of the properties
acquired on behalf of we sponsored programs, which nearly
doubled in 2005.
Management
Services
The $9.4 million, or 43.2%, increase in management services
was primarily due to an increase of $7.0 million, or 35.5%,
in property and asset management fees to $26.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to
$19.7 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in
property management fees was primarily due to an increase in the
number of the properties managed in 2005. For the year ended
December 31, 2005, an average of 120 properties was
managed, with total square footage averaging approximately
22.9 million for properties under management, compared to
an average of 94 properties, with total square footage averaging
approximately 16.9 million for properties under management,
for the year ended December 31, 2004. Property and asset
management fees per average square foot were $1.17 for the year
ended December 31, 2005 compared to $1.17 for the same
period in 2004.
Also contributing to the increase in management services was
$973,000 in other fees earned from managing the assets or
property and $600,000 in loan refinancings for properties under
management.
Management revenue increased $9.4 million, or 43.2%, to
$31.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005,
compared to $21.7 million in 2004. Management services
revenue in 2005 was relatively consistent with 2004 as a
percentage of total services revenue (35.7% in 2005 compared to
33.5% in 2004).
Other
Revenue
Rental Revenue. Rental revenue increased to
$3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005,
compared to $0 for the same period in 2004, primarily due to the
acquisition of a property and rents received under leases with
third parties in the second half of 2005.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased
$330,000, or 14.3%, to $2.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005, compared to $2.3 million earned for
the same period in 2004.
Expense
Total services expense increased $10.0 million, or 21.2%,
to $57.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Total services expense in 2005 decreased as a percentage of
total services revenue to 65.4%, compared to 72.4% of total
services revenue for the same period in 2004.
Compensation costs increased $4.3 million, or 51.5%, to
$12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005
from $8.4 million in for the same period in 2004, primarily
due to hiring key executives and additional employees to develop
our infrastructure and in preparing for strategic initiatives.
As of December 31, 2005, there were approximately
141 full-time equivalent employees associated with
transaction related services, compared to 109 at
December 31, 2004.
Operating and administrative expense decreased
$2.2 million, or 12.9%, to $14.5 million in 2005,
compared to $16.7 million in 2004, primarily due to
$2.2 million in costs associated with a program that was
terminated in 2004.
Management
Services Expenses
Compensation costs increased $5.7 million, or 51.5%, to
$16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005
from $11.1 million for the same period in 2004, primarily
due to hiring additional employees to develop our infrastructure
and in preparing for strategic initiatives. As of
December 31, 2005, there were approximately
186 full-time equivalent employees associated with
management related services, compared to 144 at
December 31, 2004.
Operating and administrative expense increased
$2.1 million, or 19.1%, to $12.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 2005, compared to $10.8 million for
the same period in 2004, primarily due to write-offs of
uncollectible advances to seven properties.
Other
Operating Expense
The increase in other operating expense of $13.2 million,
or 321.3%, was primarily due to costs associated with the SEC
investigation, including legal and other professional fees,
which increased $3.4 million, or 578.8%, to
$4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005,
compared to $592,000 for the same period in 2004. Also
contributing to the increase was a $1.0 million loss
contingency accrued pending the outcome of the SEC
investigation, a $2.9 million valuation charge associated
with a Colorado property acquired from investors in one of our
TIC programs in 2005 and $4.5 million in rental related
expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased
$1.5 million, or 118.7%, to $2.8 million in 2005,
compared to $1.3 million in 2004, primarily due to a change
in the estimated life of computer equipment to more accurately
reflect the assets’ service life of 3 years from
5 years.
Operating
Income
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2005 of
$18.6 million was 20.1% of total revenue, compared to
$16.1 million, or 24.0% of total revenue, for the year
ended December 31, 2004. The increase in operating income
was a result of an increase in volume of activity, the average
purchase price of the properties acquired on behalf of our
sponsored programs and a reduction in services expense as a
percentage of services revenue. The decline in operating income
as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to costs
associated with the SEC investigation and a valuation charge
associated with a property acquired from investors in 2005.
Net
Income
As a result of the above items, net income increased
$1.9 million, or 11.6%, to $18.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2005, compared to $16.2 million for
the same period in 2004.
We seek to create and maintain a capital structure that allows
for financial flexibility and diversification of capital
resources. Primary sources of liquidity to fund distributions
are from retained earnings and borrowings under a line of credit.
Primary uses of cash are to fund deposits for the acquisitions
of properties on behalf of our investors and to fund
distributions to our stockholders.
We believe that we will have sufficient capital resources to
satisfy our liquidity needs over the next twelve-month period.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity needs, which may
include principal repayments of debt obligations, capital
expenditures and distributions to stockholders, through retained
earnings and borrowings under our $25.0 million line of
credit with LaSalle Bank, N.A.
In September 2006, we entered into a $10.0 million
revolving line of credit with LaSalle Bank, N.A. to replace our
then existing $8.5 million revolving line of credit with
Bank of America, N.A. This line of credit consists of
$7.5 million for use in property acquisitions and
$2.5 million for general corporate purposes and bears
interest at either prime rate plus 0.50% or three-month LIBOR
plus 3.25%, at our option, on each drawdown, and matures in
March 2008. On September 15, 2006, we repaid this LaSalle
line of credit in full with proceeds from our Wachovia loan
described below.
In September 2006, we entered into a $27.5 million
participating loan credit agreement with Wachovia Bank, N.A. The
facility’s fixed interest was 6.0% per year plus a
contingent interest equal to 24.9% of our adjusted net income
for each period, less any amount of fixed interest paid in such
period, with a maturity date in April 2016. All amounts
outstanding under this facility were repaid in full in November
2006 with the proceeds from our 144A private equity offering.
In November 2006, we completed a 144A private equity offering in
which we raised approximately $146.0 million in net
proceeds. We used $31.2 million of these proceeds to repay
in full all amounts outstanding under our participating loan
credit agreement with Wachovia Bank N.A. and to fund certain
cash costs in connection with our formation transactions. We are
applying the remaining proceeds to fund:
•
short-term bridge lending to facilitate the closing of new TIC
transactions;
•
co-investment requirements of our Strategic Office Fund I,
L.P. or other co-investment opportunities that may arise;
•
asset purchases prior to reselling such assets to one of our
programs, such as a TIC program or a public non-traded REIT or
to institutional funds or joint ventures; and
•
general corporate purposes.
In February 2007, we entered into a $25.0 million revolving
line of credit with LaSalle Bank, N.A. This line of credit
consists of $10.0 million for use in property acquisitions
and $15.0 million for general corporate purposes and bears
interest at either prime rate or three-month LIBOR plus 1.50%,
at our option, on each drawdown, and matures in February 2010.
As of March 31, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding
under this facility.
Long-Term
Liquidity Needs
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, which
may include investments in various real estate investor programs
and institutional funds, through retained cash flow, borrowings
under our line of credit, additional long-term secured and
unsecured borrowings and proceeds from the potential issuance of
debt or equity securities.
Factors
That May Influence Future Sources of Capital and
Liquidity
On September 16, 2004, Triple Net Properties learned that
the SEC Los Angeles Enforcement Division, or the SEC Staff, is
conducting an investigation referred to as “In the
matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.”The SEC staff
requested information from Triple Net Properties relating to
disclosure in public and private securities offerings sponsored
by Triple Net Properties and its affiliates prior to 2005, or
the Triple Net Properties securities offerings. The SEC also
requested information from Capital Corp., the dealer-manager for
the Triple Net Properties securities offerings. The SEC
requested financial and other information regarding the Triple
Net Properties securities offerings and the disclosures included
in the related offering documents from each of Triple Net
Properties and Capital Corp. Triple Net Properties and Capital
Corp. believe they have cooperated fully with the SEC
Staff’s investigation.
Based on these negotiations, management believes that the
conclusion to this matter will not result in a material adverse
affect to our results of operations, financial condition or
ability to conduct our business, and management has accrued a
loss contingency of $600,000 at December 31, 2006 on behalf
of Triple Net Properties and Capital Corp. on a consolidated
basis, compared to $1.0 million accrued by Triple Net
Properties for the same period in 2005.
To the extent that we pay the SEC an amount in excess of
$1.0 million in connection with any settlement or other
resolution of this matter, Anthony W. Thompson, our founder and
Chairman, has agreed to forfeit to us up to
1,210,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with
this arrangement, we have entered into an escrow agreement with
Mr. Thompson and an independent escrow agent, pursuant to
which the escrow agent holds these 1,210,000 shares of our
common stock that are otherwise issuable to Mr. Thompson in
connection with our formation transactions to secure
Mr. Thompson’s obligations to us.
Mr. Thompson’s liability under this arrangement will
not exceed the value of the shares in the escrow.
Certain non-recurring credits were granted to investors in some
of our programs, which reduced revenue by $2.5 million in
the third quarter of 2006. In October 2006, certain
non-recurring credits were also granted to investors in some of
our TIC programs, which resulted in an expense of
$3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Our offering
materials for our TIC programs generally disclose the
possibility that we might offer waivers and credits for specific
types of fees on a selective basis to some, but not all, TIC
investors, but they have not disclosed all of the categories of
fees for which we have actually provided credits. As a result,
investors in these programs who did not receive the waivers or
credits could bring claims against us.
Although Realty was required to have real estate licenses in all
of the states in which it acted as a broker for our programs and
received real estate commissions, Realty did not hold a license
in certain of those states when it earned fees for those
services. In addition, almost all of Triple Net Properties’
revenue was based on an arrangement with Realty to share fees
from our programs. Triple Net Properties did not hold a real
estate license in any state, although most states in which
properties of our programs were located may have required Triple
Net Properties to hold a license in order to share fees. As a
result, we may be subject to penalties, such as fines (which
could be a multiple of the amount received), restitution
payments and termination of management agreements, and to the
suspension or revocation of Realty’s real estate broker
licenses. To the extent that we incur any liability arising from
the failure to comply with real estate broker licensing
requirements in certain states, Anthony W. Thompson,
Louis J. Rogers and Jeffrey T. Hanson have
agreed to forfeit to us up to an aggregate of
4,686,500 shares of our common stock. In addition,
Mr. Thompson has agreed to indemnify us, to the extent the
liability incurred by us for such matters exceeds the deemed
$46,865,000 value of these shares, up to an additional
$9,435,000 in cash. The above indemnifications expire on
November 16, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. From time to
time we provide certain guarantees of loans for properties under
management. As of December 31, 2006, there were 107 loans
for properties under management that were guaranteed, with
approximately $2.5 billion in total principal outstanding
secured by properties with a total aggregate purchase price of
approximately $3.4 billion. Substantially all of the
approximate $2.4 billion total principal outstanding
guaranteed was non-recourse/carve-out guarantees, and of this
amount, $26.4 million was in the form of mezzanine debt and
$28.7 million was other full/partial recourse guarantees.
From time to time we provide guarantees of loans for properties
under management. If we are called upon to satisfy a substantial
portion of these guarantees, our operating results and financial
condition could be materially harmed. Management evaluates these
guarantees to determine if the guarantee meets the criteria
required to record a liability.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased
$8.3 million to $15.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2006, compared to net cash provided by
operating activities of $23.5 million for the same period
in 2005. The decrease was primarily due to cash provided by net
income of $16.1 million adjusted for non-cash reconciling
items, the most significant of which was a $4.9 million tax
benefit primarily due to the establishment of deferred tax
accounts for Triple Net Properties in order to convert from a
non-taxable partnership to a taxable C corporation on
November 16, 2006, and $2.6 million in receivables
from related parties which primarily consisted of property
management fees and lease commissions owed Realty.
Net cash used in investing activities increased
$21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to
$57.1 million, compared to net cash used in investing
activities of $35.2 million for the same period in 2005.
The increase was primarily due to $7.4 million, net of cash
acquired, for the acquisition of Realty and Capital Corp. in
2006, funds used for asset purchases of our sponsored programs,
which included $10.0 million to our public non-traded NNN
Apartment REIT, $80.6 million for our properties/intangible
assets held for sale to facilitate the reselling of such assets
to one of our TIC programs, our public non-traded NNN Healthcare
Office REIT and a joint venture, partially offset by
$31.7 million in proceeds from the sale of one of these
properties to a joint venture. Other uses of cash included
$15.9 million used for real estate deposits and
preacquisition costs, offset by $33.8 million in proceeds
from collection of real estate deposits and preacquisition
costs. We also invested $2.4 million in marketable equity
securities in 2006.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased
$133.3 million to $143.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2006, compared to $10.3 million for the
same period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to net
proceeds of $146.0 million received from the issuance of
common stock through the 144A private equity offering in
November 2006, proceeds from issuance of our NNN Collateralized
Senior Notes, LLC of $10.3 million, proceeds of
$71.1 million from issuance of mortgage loans payable
secured by properties held for sale, offset by
$24.2 million in repayments of mortgage loans payable
secured by properties held for sale. The net increase was
partially offset by $28.1 million in distributions to
common unit members of Triple Net Properties, the repayment of
amounts outstanding under our line of credit with Bank of
America of $8.5 million, and $12.3 million in
repayments of notes payable primarily due to the repayment of
$11.3 million in mezzanine debt on NNN 3500 Maple, LLC in
2006, and $5.5 million for the early redemption of Triple
Net Properties redeemable preferred membership units in
September 2006.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased
$6.3 million to $23.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005, compared to net cash provided by
operating activities of $17.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to cash
provided by net income of $18.1 million, a higher deferral
of payments of $8.8 million to third parties for services
provided to us, partially offset by lower collections of
accounts receivables from related parties of $9.2 million.
Net cash used in investing activities increased
$22.2 million to $35.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005, compared to net cash used in investing
activities of $13.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to cash
used for real estate deposits and preacquisition costs of
$20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005,
compared to $5.5 million in 2004.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased
$17.9 million to $10.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005, compared to net cash used in financing
activities of $7.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to the
issuance of $17.2 million in notes payable in 2005.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest
Rate Risk
Our earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest
rates as a result of the variable interest rates incurred on our
line of credit. Our $25.0 million line of credit debt
obligation is secured by our assets, bears interest at the
bank’s prime rate or three month LIBOR plus 1.50%, at our
option, and matures in February 2010. As of March 31, 2007,
we had no outstanding balance on this line of credit. Since
interest payments on this obligation will increase if interest
rate markets rise, or decrease if interest rate markets decline,
we are subject to cash flow risk related to this debt instrument
if amounts are drawn under the line of credit.
Additionally, our earnings are affected by changes in short-term
interest rates as a result of the variable interest rate
incurred on the mezzanine portion of the outstanding mortgages
on our real estate held for sale. As of December 31, 2006,
the outstanding principal balance on these debt obligations was
$15.3 million, with a weighted average interest rate of
9.45% per annum. Since interest payments on these obligations
will increase if interest rate markets rise, or decrease if
interest rate markets decline, we are subject to cash flow risk
related to these debt instruments. As of December 31, 2006,
for example, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would have
increased our overall annual interest expense by $8,000, or
3.9%. This sensitivity analysis contains certain simplifying
assumptions, for example, it does not consider the impact of
changes in prepayment risk.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, we entered into several
interest rate lock agreements with commercial banks aggregating
to approximately $400.0 million, with interest rates
ranging from 6.15% to 6.19% per annum as of December 31,2006. We paid $2.0 million in refundable deposits in
connection with these agreements, which will be refunded if the
total available loan amount is utilized for property purchases.
If the total available loan amount is not utilized, then some of
the deposits will be forfeited.
We do not utilize financial instruments for trading or other
speculative purposes, nor do we utilize leveraged financial
instruments.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
For the Year Ended December 31, 2006
(a) As reported in our accompanying historical consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.
(b) Amounts represent the operations of Realty for the
period from January 1, 2006 through November 16, 2006
(the date of its acquisition by NNN Realty Advisors).
(c) Amounts represent the operations of Capital Corp. for
the period from January 1, 2006 through December 14,2006 (the date of its acquisition by NNN Realty Advisors).
(d) As a result of the acquisition of Realty, the contract
rights intangible asset was established for future expected
disposition fees due Realty on the portfolio of real property
under contract, which resulted in a fair value adjustment in
purchase accounting in the amount of $19.9 million. The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes an adjustment
for amortization of $2.6 million, charged as a reduction to
transaction revenue. During the period of future real property
sales, the amortization of the contract rights intangible asset
will be applied based on the net relative value of disposition
fees realized.
(e) Reflects the compensation expense of $1.4 million
(split between transaction, management services and general and
administrative) as follows:
(1) $295,000 — For twelve months of vesting of a
portion of the 205,000 stock options granted to officers and
directors under our employee stock option plan as a result of
the completion of our 144A private equity offering, less amounts
reflected in historical. One-third of the stock options vest on
each of the grant date and the first two anniversaries of the
date of grant.
(2) $961,000 — For twelve months of vesting of a
portion of the 691,600 stock options granted to employees
subsequent to December 31, 2006 under our employee stock
option plan as a result of the completion of our 144A private
equity offering, less amounts reflected in historical. One-third
of the stock options vest on each of the first three
anniversaries of the date of grant.
(3) $116,000 — For twelve months of vesting of a
portion of the 40,000 shares of restricted stock granted to
directors as a result of the completion of our 144A private
equity offering, less amounts reflected in historical. This
restricted stock award vests in equal thirds on each of the
first three anniversaries of the date of grant.
(f) Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers have agreed to
transfer up to 15.0% of the common stock of Realty they owned to
Jeffrey T. Hanson, our Chief Investment Officer, assuming
he remains employed by us in equal increments on July 29,2007, 2008 and 2009. Upon completion of our offering, the 15.0%
ownership was subsequently converted to 844,500 shares of
our common stock: 633,375 shares from Mr. Thompson and
211,125 shares from Mr. Rogers. Because
Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers were affiliates of us at
the time of such transfers, we recognized a compensation charge.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, includes a
pro forma adjustment for compensation expense of
$2.1 million for twelve months of vesting of a portion
of the stock award granted to Mr. Hanson, less amounts
reflected in historical. One third of the award vests on the
first three anniversaries of the date of grant.
(g) This adjustment for the year ended December 31,2006 (1) eliminates the $2.9 million compensation paid
to Mr. Thompson, one of the executive officers of Realty,
Capital Corp. and Triple Net Properties, for services provided

asset management and services firm. We sponsor real estate
investment programs to provide investors with the opportunity to
engage in tax-deferred exchanges of real property and to invest
in other real estate investment vehicles. We raise capital for
these programs through an extensive network of broker-dealer
relationships. We also structure, acquire, manage and dispose of
real estate for these programs, earning fees for each of these
services. We are one of the largest sponsors of tenant in
common, or TIC, programs marketed as securities and we also
sponsor and advise public non-traded real estate investment
trusts, or REITs, and real estate investment funds.
As of December 31, 2006, we provided management services
for a diverse portfolio of 152 properties, encompassing over
32 million square feet of office, healthcare office,
multi-family and retail properties in 28 states that were
purchased for more than $4.3 billion in the aggregate.
Since our inception in 1998, we have raised over
$2.4 billion of equity capital for our programs from
approximately 24,000 investors. For the year ended
December 31, 2006, we generated pro forma revenue of
$135.4 million, pro forma income from continuing operations
of $10.6 million, and pro forma basic and diluted earnings
per share of our common stock of $0.25. These pro forma earnings
per diluted share numbers reflect pro forma historical income
from continuing operations divided by shares outstanding as of
December 31, 2006.
Our TIC programs are structured in reliance on Section 1031
of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows for the deferral of
gain recognition on the sale of investment or business property
if a number of conditions are satisfied. The tax that would
otherwise be recognized in a taxable sale is deferred until the
replacement property is sold in a taxable transaction. A public
non-traded REIT is an SEC-registered REIT that does not list its
common stock on a national securities exchange. We register our
REIT offerings with the SEC so that we can sell to a large
number of investors.
We divide our services into three business segments, transaction
services, management services and dealer-manager services.
Transaction services. Our transaction services
consist of providing acquisition, financing and disposition
services to our programs. Our fees from these services are
usually a percentage of the purchase or sales prices of the real
estate assets acquired or disposed of by these programs or, in
the case of financing services, of the principal amount of the
loan. As of December 31, 2006, we had acquired 214
properties for our programs with an aggregate acquisition
purchase price of approximately $5.8 billion, and have
disposed of 79 properties for an aggregate sales price of
approximately $1.8 billion.
Management services. Our management services
operations consist of managing the properties owned by the
programs we sponsor. We also assist our programs in entity-level
management services. Our revenue is based on the fees we
generate from managing the assets or property, leasing
commissions and legal, accounting and administrative services.
We are responsible for the asset and property management of all
of the properties owned by our programs, but as of
December 31, 2006, we had subcontracted the property
management of approximately 38.7% of the office, healthcare
office and retail properties (based on square footage) and the
property management of all of the multi-family properties to
third parties. When we subcontract the management of properties
to third parties, we retain a portion of the fees paid for such
management. As of December 31, 2006, the office, healthcare
office and retail properties owned by our programs had an
occupancy rate of approximately 85.4% (based on square footage),
and the multi-family properties owned by our programs had an
occupancy rate of 92.9% (based on number of units).
Dealer-manager services. We facilitate capital
raising transactions for our programs through Capital Corp., our
NASD-registered broker-dealer. Capital Corp is registered with
the SEC, NASD and all 50 states plus the District of
Columbia. Capital Corp. has more than 50 NASD-registered
representatives associated with it who act in various
capacities, such as wholesale sales, national accounts and sales
management, operations and compliance. Capital Corp. acts as
wholesale dealer-manager for most of our programs and currently
does not provide securities services to any third party. Capital
Corp and its registered representatives also
occasionally act in a retail capacity, distributing our
securities products to friends and family and others in certain
other limited circumstances.
Our wholesale dealer-manager services are carried out through a
diverse selling group of third-party broker-dealers and their
registered representatives that service the clients who invest
in our products. As dealer-manager, Capital Corp. collects
selling commissions and reallows most of these commission to the
selling broker-dealers. Capital Corp. also receives marketing
and due diligence allowances in connection with our offerings.
While a portion of the marketing and due diligence allowances
may be reallowed to members of the selling group, the majority
is retained by Capital Corp.
Our
History
NNN Realty Advisors was organized as a corporation in the State
of Delaware in September 2006. Our fiscal year ends
December 31. We were formed to acquire each of Triple Net
Properties, Realty and Capital Corp., to bring the businesses
conducted by those companies under one corporate umbrella and to
facilitate our 144A private equity offering of our common stock,
which took place in the fourth quarter of 2006. We sold
16 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price
of $10.00 per share in this offering and raised
$160.0 million.
The following chart illustrates our organizational structure,
including our primary operating subsidiaries:
Our
Investment and Management Process
Our historical acquisition activity that has resulted in our
accumulation of more than $4.3 billion (by purchase price)
in properties under management gives us a significant
pre-existing presence in numerous local real estate markets.
This presence and our relationships in the national commercial
real estate brokerage community provide us with an extensive
information network that enables us to identify acquisition
opportunities at an early stage in both current and new markets.
Additionally, our regional and local asset and property
management employees located in our offices around the country
are a valuable source of market intelligence.
We seek to identify property acquisition opportunities in
recovering markets where the property is being acquired at a
discount to replacement value and where there is rental income
appreciation potential as a result of below market rents. We
also seek out property acquisition opportunities in markets that
have had and are expected to have positive long-term economic
fundamentals and demographic trends. We look at markets that are
currently attractive and try to anticipate additional markets
that are likely to become attractive in the future.
The properties we seek are typically of quality construction
with modern and efficient building systems. We seek out
properties with favorable locations allowing easy access to
relevant surrounding amenities. Desired properties have a tenant
rent roll with quality and, if possible, credit tenants and have
no excessive lease expirations occurring in any given year.
Once we have identified a property acquisition opportunity, we
initiate a financial underwriting and due diligence process to
determine the value of the property. We rely on our staff of
approximately 158 asset, regional and property managers, many of
whom are familiar with local property values in various areas of
the United States, as well as on local independent brokers in
the property’s area and local market data, to determine
property values. Our staff also studies the tenant leases on the
property to ascertain the stability of the property’s cash
flow. Our staff and, on occasion, outside contractors conduct a
physical inspection of the property to determine its capital
improvement needs.
Once we have acquired a property, we actively manage the
property to increase rental and other income and work to
decrease expenses so as to increase net operating cash flows
and, by extension, long-term property value. Renewing desired
tenants and seeking out new tenants that generate current market
rental income are primary initiatives of our local property
management process. On the expense side, we actively try to
create economies of scale so as to reduce expenses, such as
purchasing an umbrella insurance policy for all our managed
properties at a reduced rate as compared to numerous separate
policies.
We have a property management staff of approximately
150 people located around the country and we subcontract
for management services in areas where we do not have personnel.
We outsource all capital improvement and construction work.

Company
Strengths
Established and recognizable brand name in the TIC
industry. Our Chairman, Anthony W. Thompson, who
founded the company in 1998, began structuring securitized TIC
transactions in 1994. A securitized TIC transaction is an
offering of real estate interests marketed as securities. We
believe that we have completed over 13.6% of the securitized TIC
transactions in the United States in 2006, based on the amount
of equity raised by us compared to statistics available for the
industry as a whole. As a result of our management’s
experience and our market share, we believe we are well known in
the securitized TIC industry. Moreover, many of our individual
investors invest in multiple TIC programs and have become repeat
investors, acquiring interests in our new TIC programs when the
property owned by their initial program is sold. In 2003,
Realty, our wholly-owned management subsidiary, received the
Accredited Management Organization designation, which is awarded
by the Institute of Real Estate Management for high standards of
professionalism, financial
performance and ethics. This designation was renewed in 2006. We
believe that to date we are the only securitized TIC sponsor to
receive this designation.
Relationships with a nationwide network of securities
broker-dealers. We work with a nationwide network
of securities broker-dealers in raising capital for our various
programs. In the year ended December 31, 2006, we signed
over 1,300 selling agreements with 138 different broker-dealers
to market our programs. Through March 31, 2007, we had
executed 127 selling agreements in connection with our current
offering for NNN Apartment REIT, Inc. and 116 selling agreements
in connection with our current offering for NNN
Healthcare/Office REIT, Inc., and we continue to enter into
selling agreements for both of these offerings. In connection
with our last REIT offering for G REIT, Inc., we executed 135
selling agreements. We believe that this depth of access to
investor capital is a valuable resource that facilitates the
capital raises needed for the programs we sponsor.
Proven acquisition track record. We have a
long track record in sourcing new investment opportunities and
completing acquisitions in a competitive capital environment.
Our established acquisition process enables us to target, review
and acquire properties efficiently. As of December 31,2006, we have acquired 214 properties for our investors
with an aggregate acquisition purchase price of approximately
$5.8 billion. In 2005, we structured our largest TIC
offering to date, a $173.7 million office building
acquisition. In the year ended December 31, 2006, we
acquired approximately $1.4 billion in new real estate on
behalf of our various programs.
Proven investor return track record. We
believe that our ability to retain current investors as well as
attract new investors depends on our ability to provide positive
returns in our programs. The following are the results of all
real estate investment programs that we have sold or liquidated
or are in the process of selling or liquidating since our
inception:
•
TIC and Other Private Programs. As of
March 31, 2007, we have had 37 TIC programs and four other
private programs go “full cycle” by selling their
properties. Thirty-nine of these 41 programs yielded positive
returns to investors, and the aggregate portfolio internal rate
of return to investors on all 41 programs was approximately
18.6%. The aggregate portfolio investor internal rate of return
was based on the sum of all investor cash flows from these
programs. These 41 programs acquired an aggregate of
approximately $802.6 million of real estate (by purchase
price), with aggregate sales prices at disposition of real
estate of approximately $1.1 billion. These programs were
outstanding for an average of 3.5 years with a range of
approximately 1.4 years to 6.4 years. These results
are not necessarily indicative of future results on our current
or future programs.
•
Public non-traded REITs.
•
T REIT, Inc., our public non-traded REIT program that invested
primarily in real property in states that do not have personal
income taxes, such as Nevada and Texas, is in the process of
selling its properties as part of a stockholder-approved
liquidation. T REIT’s registration statement was declared
effective by the SEC in February 2000, and T REIT raised
approximately $46.4 million in equity capital from February
2000 through May 2002. T REIT began paying stockholders monthly
distributions at an annual rate of 8.0% in August 2000, and paid
monthly distributions at an annual rate of 8.25% from April 2001
through August 2005. Based on T REIT’s annual report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006, T REIT’s
management estimates the liquidation distribution to its
stockholders will be $12.38 per $10.00 share initially
invested. T REIT has paid the following special liquidating
distributions to its stockholders: $18.0 million, or
$3.91 per share in August 2005; $12.0 million, or
$2.61 per share in February 2006; and $18.0 million or
$3.91 per share in July 2006. The estimate for liquidation
distributions per share is net of projected costs and expenses
expected to be incurred during the period required to complete T
REIT’s plan of liquidation, and could change materially
based on the timing of sales, the performance of the underlying
assets and any changes in the underlying assumptions of the
projected cash flows.
•
G REIT, Inc., our public non-traded REIT program that invested
primarily in government-related office space, is also in the
process of selling its properties as part of a
stockholder-approved
liquidation. G REIT’s initial registration statement was
declared effective by the SEC in July 2002 and G REIT raised
approximately $437.3 million in equity capital in its two
offerings from July 2002 through April 2004. G REIT began paying
stockholders monthly distributions at an annual rate of 7.0% in
September 2002, and has paid monthly distributions at an annual
rate of 7.5% since June 2003. Based on G REIT’s annual
report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006, G REIT’s
management estimates the liquidation distribution to its
stockholders will be $10.96 per $10.00 share initially
invested. G REIT has paid the following special liquidating
distributions to its stockholders: $171.3 million, or
$3.90 per share in October 2006; and $131.8 million or
$3.00 per share in April 2007. The estimate for liquidation
distributions per share is net of projected costs and expenses
expected to be incurred during the period required to complete G
REIT’s plan of liquidation, and could change materially
based on the timing of sales, the performance of the underlying
assets and any changes in the underlying assumptions of the
projected cash flows.
In addition, we are currently raising capital for the following
two recently registered public non-traded REIT offerings:
•
NNN Healthcare/Office REIT, Inc., is our public non-traded REIT
program that invests primarily in medical office buildings,
healthcare-related facilities and quality commercial office
properties that produce current income. NNN Healthcare/Office
REIT is conducting a best efforts initial public offering which
began in September 2006 in which it is offering a minimum of
200,000 shares of its common stock aggregating at least
$2.0 million and a maximum of 200,000,000 shares of
its common stock for $10.00 per share and an additional
21,052,632 shares of its common stock pursuant to its
distribution reinvestment plan, at $9.50 per share,
aggregating up to $2.2 billion. As of May 1, 2007, NNN
Healthcare/Office REIT has sold approximately 5.4 million
shares of its common stock for approximately $53.4 million.
NNN Healthcare/Office REIT was incorporated on April 20,2006, and intends to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes for its taxable year ended December 31, 2007. As
of April 30, 2007, NNN Healthcare/Office REIT has purchased
five properties consisting of 380,000 square feet of gross
leaseable area for a total purchase price of approximately
$63.1 million. NNN Healthcare/Office REIT is currently
paying its stockholders monthly distributions at an annual rate
of 7.25%.
•
NNN Apartment REIT, Inc., is our public non-traded REIT program
that invests in a diverse portfolio of apartment communities
with strong and stable cash flow and growth potential in select
U.S. metropolitan areas. NNN Apartment REIT is conducting a
best efforts initial public offering which began in July 2006 in
which it is offering a minimum of 200,000 shares of its
common stock aggregating at least $2.0 million and a
maximum of 100,000,000 shares of its common stock for
$10.00 per share and 5,000,000 shares of its common
stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, at
$9.50 per share, aggregating up to $1.0 billion. As of
April 19, 2007, NNN Apartment REIT has sold approximately
3.5 million shares of its common stock for approximately
$35.4 million. NNN Apartment REIT intends to elect, when it
files its 2006 tax return, to be treated as a real estate
investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes for
its taxable year ended December 31, 2006. As of
April 30, 2007, NNN Apartment REIT has purchased two
properties consisting of 705 apartment units for a total
purchase price of approximately $62.8 million. NNN
Apartment REIT is currently paying its stockholders monthly
distributions at an annual rate of 7.0%.
Experienced management team. We have a
seasoned executive management team with our Chairman and largest
stockholder having over 30 years experience, in originating
and structuring real estate transactions, including raising
capital, and in asset and property management. In addition, our
Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial
Officer each have significant experience in senior management of
SEC-registered
companies. We believe that the extensive experience of our
Chairman and these executives provides us with the ability to
generate investment opportunities across all of our programs, to
create new programs and to effectively manage and grow our
portfolio.
Ability to generate fees at each stage of our
services. We provide our programs with a full
range of real estate services, including:
•
structuring transactions, including raising equity and debt
financing for new programs;
•
identifying acquisition opportunities and acquiring investment
properties;
•
providing a full array of management and corporate services to
investment properties, including asset and property management
(including leasing) and refinancing; and
•
disposing of investment properties.
We generate fees for each of these services based on a
percentage of the equity or debt raised, the acquisition or
disposition price of a property, or gross rental income. Because
we are typically involved in a program from the capital-raising
stage to the ultimate sale of the property, we are able to earn
fees from the beginning to the end of the property investment
cycle. In our TIC programs, investors are generally seeking
investments in real estate that require little or no property
management time commitment by the investors. As a result, our
programs appoint us to act as the property and entity manager,
and we facilitate the future disposition of the property. In
most instances, it is an event of default under the related
financing documents if we are terminated as the property manager
without lender consent. In addition, when a property owned by
one of our TIC programs is sold, the TIC investors will
generally seek a new tax-deferred investment, which we are
typically able to provide. Similarly, we act as the property
manager and advisor to our public non-traded REIT programs for
whom we facilitate capital raising and property acquisition and
disposition services.
Strong capital base. As a result of our
operating history, significant transaction volume and leading
market share, we historically have had access to financing that
we believe may not be available to smaller, less-developed
sponsors. In November 2006, we completed a $160 million
144A private equity offering and in February 2007, we entered
into a $25.0 million line of credit with LaSalle Bank,
N.A., both of which will help us further develop our programs.
Having cash on hand to complete acquisitions and greater access
to bank financing and institutional equity sources provides us
with flexibility in structuring transactions, as we can use our
capital to acquire properties in advance of closing an offering
for one of our programs. We believe this will provide greater
assurance of execution for the investors in our sponsored
programs, as we will be able to close on acquisition
opportunities prior to placement in our programs.
Broad variety of asset expertise and geographic
diversification. As of December 31, 2006, we
provided management services for a diverse portfolio of 152
properties, encompassing over 32 million square feet of
commercial real estate that were purchased for more than
$4.3 billion in the aggregate. Our programs’
properties are not focused on one asset class, but cover a
number of classes, including office, healthcare office,
multi-family and retail properties located in central business
districts and nearby suburban communities. Moreover, our
programs typically do not focus on one geographic area. Although
a majority of our programs’ properties are located in
Texas, California, Colorado and Florida, we manage properties
for our programs in 28 states. We believe that asset and
geographic diversification makes us less susceptible to the
cyclicality of any one specific real estate segment or
geographic area.
Business
Strategies
Create a portfolio of REITs. We currently use
our experience in a broad range of asset classes, including
office, healthcare office, multi-family and retail properties,
to identify new investment opportunities for our programs. We
plan to create one or more REITs that will invest in additional
asset classes. The selection of asset classes available at any
given time will depend on investor demands and real estate
market conditions at that time. Many REIT sponsors focus on a
single asset class, such as hotels or retail centers. With our
experience in acquiring and managing a variety of different
asset classes, we believe we are capable of creating a portfolio
of public non-traded REITs, each of which will invest in a
different asset class.
Provide short-term financing and warehouse
properties. We intend to provide short-term
financing to some of our programs if such financing facilitates
the closing of an offering. We have historically relied on
third-party banks to provide short-term financing to provide
this flexibility, but this third party financing can
be costly and time-consuming to obtain. We believe the proceeds
of our November 2006 financing, together with our line of credit
from LaSalle Bank, N.A., will permit us to take advantage of new
investment opportunities and satisfy market demands as they
arise while reducing transaction costs, such as higher interest
rates and loan fees, for our programs. We may directly acquire
properties and warehouse them until they can be acquired by our
programs. We expect that the additional flexibility to provide
short-term financing and warehouse properties will enable us to
provide our TIC investors and REIT programs with a quicker and
more certain property acquisition and closing process.
Initiate an institutional investment fund. We
are in the process of marketing Strategic Office Fund I,
L.P., an institutional real estate fund to raise
$500 million in equity capital pursuant to which we would
co-invest with institutional investors. We have hired Wachovia
Securities as our placement agent for purposes of assisting in
the raise of this equity capital. Institutional investors,
particularly pension plans, have recently increased their real
estate allocations. We believe that our proposed institutional
real estate fund will be attractive to institutional investors
because, among other things, we have access to a number of
properties brought to us through our established relationships
with major real estate brokers throughout the United States. In
addition, we have access to properties that will not be broadly
marketed. Further, we expect that our relationship with
institutional partners will lead to joint venture investment
opportunities, in addition to those created by the fund,
allowing us to provide additional asset and property management
and real estate services and to grow assets under management. We
expect to receive a carried interest in the properties acquired
by the institutional real estate funds that we sponsor, subject
to a preferred return to the co-investors.
Increase our dedicated sales force and leverage our network
of broker-dealer relationships. Our selling
broker-dealer relationships are managed by a dedicated sales
force. We currently have a dedicated sales force of 51 persons,
which has increased from 27 persons at December 31, 2005.
We believe increasing our dedicated sales force will provide us
with the necessary resources to leverage our network of, and
maximize our contacts with, selling broker-dealers. We intend to
leverage our existing network of selling broker-dealer
relationships to sell additional programs that we may create and
to expand our investor base. We also intend to expand our
network of selling broker-dealer relationships beyond historical
and current levels.
Industry
Overview
TIC
/1031 Exchanges
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code permits the
deferral of gain recognition on the sale of investment or
business property if a number of conditions are satisfied,
including the acquisition of “like kind” replacement
property. The tax that otherwise would be recognized in a
taxable sale is deferred until the replacement property is sold
in a taxable transaction. There is no limitation on the number
of times a taxpayer may enter into such an exchange transaction,
thereby making it possible in many cases to obtain long-term
deferral of gain recognition.
Most real estate in the United States is held in fee simple and
the IRS has concluded that fee simple and TIC interests in real
property are of “like kind.” In 1984, Congress amended
Section 1031 to exclude an exchange of “interests in a
partnership.” TIC arrangements among property owners which
are deemed partnerships for tax purposes would not be eligible
to make use of Section 1031. Properly structured TIC
programs, however, are designed as tenancy in common or
co-ownership arrangements to avoid partnership classification.
In 2002, the IRS issued guidance reflecting its approval of
properly structured TIC arrangements.
In recent years there has been a move by many investors to
invest in TIC programs, as these programs provide an opportunity
of owning institutional-quality real estate. Our TIC programs
permit investors to both defer taxes under Section 1031 and
also to delegate
day-to-day
management to us. Most investors do not have sufficient funds
from their relinquished property sale to acquire a large
institutional quality property on their own. Without a TIC
program, these investors would be forced to acquire another
similarly sized replacement property in order to qualify for the
deferred tax benefits of Section 1031. For investors with
substantial funds, TIC programs also allow them to diversify
their portfolio by acquiring multiple TIC interests, thereby
decreasing investment risk.
TIC transactions have gained popularity significantly since
2001, when securitized TIC programs raised approximately
$166.6 million, according to Omni Brokerage, Inc. In 2002,
2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 securitized TIC programs raised
approximately $356.6 million, $756.0 million,
$1.7 billion, $3.2 billion and $3.7 billion of
equity, respectively, according to Omni Brokerage, Inc.
Public
Non-traded REITs
According to The Stanger Report, in 2004, 2005 and 2006 active
public non-traded REIT programs raised approximately
$6.3 billion, $5.8 billon and $6.7 billion in equity,
respectively, and approximately $2.9 billion in the first
quarter of 2007. The 29 active public non-traded REITs that
raised $6.7 billion of equity in 2006 were focused on asset
classes including office, healthcare, industrial, retail,
multi-family and hotels. Capital raising volumes are, in part,
driven by the number of programs active in any given year. As of
April 30, 2007, we believe that we are the only public
non-traded REIT sponsor raising equity to purchase healthcare
and multi-family assets.

In our transaction services segment, we represent the interests
of investors who invest in TICs, public non-traded REITs and
other real estate investment vehicles, in acquisition and
disposition transactions. These transaction services involve
various types of commercial real estate, including office,
healthcare office,
multi-family
and retail properties. We provide real estate capital placement
services, which includes targeting an acquisition asset and
structuring the transaction. We also provide financing services,
such as finding financing (and subsequent refinancing) services
for the acquisition of a property. Transaction services
represented 52.9%of our pro forma total services revenue for the
year ended December 31, 2006.
Management
Services
Our management services team develops and implements specific
property level strategies to increase investment value for real
estate investors. We also provide a full range of management
services, including leasing, property management, corporate
governance for the entities that own the properties and, with
respect to publicly-traded REITs, outside governance, management
and accounting services. Management services represented 31.5%
of our pro forma total services revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2006.
We focus on enhancing the operational and financial performance
of our programs by maintaining high levels of occupancy and
lowering property costs by offering a wide range of management
services, including:
•
oversight of building management services, such as maintenance,
landscaping, security, owner’s insurance, safety and
environmental risk management and capital repairs;
•
tenant relations services, such as promotional activities,
processing tenant work orders and lease administration services;
•
interfacing with tenants’ development or construction
services personnel in coordinating tenant finish of a rental
space; and
•
financial management services, including financial reporting and
analysis.
Dealer-Manager
Services
Capital Corp., our wholly-owned subsidiary, has acted as a
dealer-manager, since August 1986, and since the inception of
Triple Net Properties in 1998 it has facilitated capital raising
transactions for most of our various programs. Dealer-manager
services represented 15.5% of our pro forma total services
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Environmental
Matters
We generally undertake a third-party Phase I investigation
of potential environmental risks when evaluating an acquisition.
A “Phase I investigation” is an investigation for
the presence or likely presence of hazardous substances or
petroleum products under conditions that indicate an existing
release, a post release or a material threat of a release. A
Phase I investigation does not typically include any
sampling. Our programs may acquire a property with environmental
contamination, subject to a determination of the level of risk
and potential cost of remediation.
Federal, state and local laws and regulations impose
environmental zoning restrictions, use controls, disclosure
obligations and other restrictions that impact the management,
development, use or sale of real estate. Such laws and
regulations tend to discourage sales and leasing activities with
respect to some properties. If transactions in which we are
involved are delayed or abandoned as a result of these
restrictions, our business could be adversely affected. In
addition, a failure by us to disclose environmental concerns in
connection with a real estate transaction conducted by one of
our programs may subject that program to liability to a buyer or
lessee of property.
Various environmental laws and regulations also can impose
liability for the costs of investigating or remediating
hazardous or toxic substances at sites currently or formerly
owned or operated by a party, or at
off-site locations to which such party sent wastes for disposal.
As a property manager, we could be held liable as an operator
for any such contamination, even if the original activity was
legal and we had no knowledge of, or did not cause, the release
or contamination. Further, because liability under some of these
laws is joint and several, we could be held responsible for more
than our share, or even all, of the costs for such contaminated
site if the other responsible parties are unable to pay. We
could also incur liability for property damage or personal
injury claims alleged to result from environmental
contamination, or from asbestos-containing materials or
lead-based paint present at the properties we manage. Similarly,
we are obliged, under the debt financing arrangements on the
properties owned by our TIC programs, to provide an indemnity to
the lenders for environmental liabilities and to remediate any
environmental problems that might arise. Insurance for these
matters may not always be available, or sufficient to cover our
losses. Certain requirements governing the removal or
encapsulation of asbestos-containing materials, as well as
recently enacted local ordinances obligating property managers
to inspect for and remove lead-based paint in certain buildings,
could increase our costs of legal compliance and potentially
subject us to violations or claims.
Competition
We believe there are only limited barriers to entry in our
business. Current and future competitors may have more resources
than we have. Our programs face competition generally from
REITs, institutional pension plans and other public and private
real estate companies and private real estate investors for the
acquisition of properties and for raising capital to create
programs to make these acquisitions. In transaction services, we
face competition with other real estate firms in the acquisition
and disposition of properties, and we also compete with other
sponsors of real estate investor programs for investors to
provide the capital to allow us to make these investments. We
also compete against other real estate companies who may be
chosen by a
broker-dealer
as an investment platform instead of us. In management services,
we compete with other
broker-dealers
and other properties for viable tenants for our programs’
properties. Our dealer-manager faces competition from
institutions that provide or arrange for other types of
financing through private or public offerings of equity or debt
and from traditional bank financings.
Management
Conflicts
Our management is subject to various conflicts of interest
arising out of our relationship with our
dealer-manager
and our programs. All agreements and arrangements, including
those relating to compensation, among our programs, our
dealer-manager and us, are generally not the result of
arm’s-length negotiations. The limitations on us described
below have been adopted to control when we enter into
transactions among our programs, our dealer-manager and us.
Additionally, we may experience conflicts of interests with our
directors, officers and affiliates from time to time with regard
to any of our investments, transactions and agreements in which
they hold a direct or indirect pecuniary interest. We receive
substantial fees from our programs, which could influence our
advice to them. These compensation arrangements could affect the
judgment of each of our executive officers and our
non-independent directors with respect to:
•
the continuation, renewal or enforcement of the management or
advisory agreement with our programs;
•
public offerings of equity by our programs, which may entitle us
to increased acquisition and asset management fees relating to
properties acquired with the offering proceeds;
•
property acquisitions and dispositions, which entitle us to real
estate commissions and disposition fees;
•
property acquisitions from third parties, which entitle us to
future asset management fees;
•
borrowings to acquire properties, which borrowings may increase
the loan placement fee payable to us;
•
property sales, which entitle us to possible incentive
distributions;
•
whether and when our public non-traded REITs seek to list their
common equity on a national securities exchange or national
market system, which listing would entitle us to a possible
incentive distribution; and
whether and when our programs seek to sell the company or its
assets, which sale could entitle us to an incentive distribution.
We also face conflicts of interests in allocating property
acquisition opportunities and prospective tenants among
competing programs we sponsor, or if the property owned by one
of our programs (or an interest therein) is sold to another
program.
Our programs generally rely on us to manage their properties and
daily operations. Many of the same persons serve as directors,
officers and employees of us and our programs. Some of our key
executives may have conflicts of interest in their compensation
incentives and in allocating management time, services and
functions among us and our various existing programs and any
future programs or business ventures that they may organize or
in which they may serve. We believe that we employ sufficient
staff to be fully capable of discharging our responsibilities in
connection with our various programs, but our key executives
typically devote only as much of their time to the business of
our investor programs as they determine is reasonably required,
which may be substantially less than their full time. Further,
during times of intense activity in certain programs, these key
executives may devote less time and fewer resources to other
investor programs business than are necessary to manage their
business.
The management or advisory agreements we enter into with our
programs typically specify the types and specificities of the
assets that the programs are permitted to purchase. Each program
has a specified acquisition process which we believe helps
eliminate competition between our programs. However, conflicts
may from time to time arise, and the advisory agreements provide
rights of first opportunity to establish which program has
priority over a potential acquisition. For example, the advisory
agreement between NNN Apartment REIT, Inc. and NNN Apartment
Advisor, LLC, of which Triple Net Properties is the managing
member, gives NNN Apartment REIT the first opportunity to
purchase any Class A income-producing apartment properties
placed under contract by us or our affiliates, provided that NNN
Apartment REIT’s board of directors votes to make the
purchase within seven days of being offered such property.
Regulation
Transaction
and Property Management Services
We and our brokers, salespersons and, in some instances,
property managers are regulated by the states in which we do
business. These regulations may include licensing procedures,
prescribed professional responsibilities and anti-fraud
provisions. Our activities are also subject to various local,
state, national and international jurisdictions’ fair
advertising, trade, housing and real estate settlement laws and
regulations and are affected by laws and regulations relating to
real estate and real estate finance and development. Because the
size and scope of real estate sales transactions have increased
significantly during the past several years, both the difficulty
of ensuring compliance with the numerous state statutory
requirements and licensing regimes and the possible liability
resulting from non-compliance have increased.
Dealer-Manager
Services
The securities industry is subject to extensive regulation under
federal and state law. Broker-dealers are subject to regulations
covering all aspects of the securities business. In general,
broker-dealers are required to register with the SEC and to be
members of the NASD or The New York Stock Exchange. As a member
of the NASD, our broker-dealer business is subject to the
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
rules promulgated thereunder relating to broker-dealers and to
the Rules of Fair Practice of the NASD. These regulations
establish, among other things, the minimum net capital
requirements for our broker-dealer business. Our broker-dealer
business is also subject to regulation under various state laws
in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, including
registration requirements.
Employees
As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately 435
employees. We generally believe that our relationship with our
employees is good. None of our employees are subject to a
collective bargaining
agreement or are members of a trade union. Certain of the
employees of the Congress Center and 123 Wacker Drive in
Chicago, Illinois, are subject to an agreement between the
Building Owners and Managers Association of Chicago, or BOMAC,
and the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 399,
dated May 19, 2005, covering engineers and trainees,
effective from May 23, 2005 through May 18, 2008. This
agreement regulates certain pay rates and benefits owed to the
employees of this building.
Insurance
We provide insurance on all of our properties under an umbrella
coverage plan. We pass along the cost of the premium to the
relevant properties, who pay their proportionate share. We
believe that our properties are covered by adequate fire, flood
and property insurance provided by reputable companies. However,
some of the properties are not covered by disaster-type
insurance with respect to certain hazards (such as earthquakes
or hurricanes) for which coverage is not available or available
only at rates which, in our opinion, are prohibitive.
Legal
Proceedings
SEC
Investigation
On September 16, 2004, Triple Net Properties learned that
the SEC Los Angeles Enforcement Division, or the SEC Staff, is
conducting an investigation referred to as “In the
matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.”The SEC Staff
requested information from Triple Net Properties relating to
disclosure in public and private securities offerings sponsored
by Triple Net Properties and its affiliates prior to 2005, or
the Triple Net Properties securities offerings. The SEC Staff
also requested information from Capital Corp., the
dealer-manager for the Triple Net Properties securities
offerings. The SEC Staff requested financial and other
information regarding the Triple Net Properties securities
offerings and the disclosures included in the related offering
documents from each of Triple Net Properties and Capital Corp.
Triple Net Properties and Capital Corp. believe they have
cooperated fully with the SEC Staff’s investigation.
Based on these negotiations, management believes that the
conclusion to this matter will not result in a material adverse
affect to its results of operations, financial condition or
ability to conduct our business and management has accrued a
loss contingency of $600,000 at December 31, 2006 on behalf
of Triple Net Properties and Capital Corp. on a consolidated
basis.
To the extent that we pay the SEC an amount in excess of
$1.0 million in connection with any settlement or other
resolution of this matter, Anthony W. Thompson, our founder and
Chairman, has agreed to forfeit to us up to 1,210,000 shares of
our common stock. In connection with this arrangement, we have
entered into an escrow agreement with Mr. Thompson and an
independent escrow agent, pursuant to which the escrow agent
holds these 1,210,000 shares of our common stock that are
otherwise issuable to Mr. Thompson in connection with our
formation transactions to secure Mr. Thompson’s
obligations to us. Mr. Thompson’s liability under this
arrangement will not exceed the value of the shares in the
escrow.
Clearview
On February 11, 2004, Clearview Properties, or Clearview,
filed a petition in the District Court of the
270th Judicial District, Harris County, Texas against
Property Texas SC One Corporation, Clarion Partners, LLC, and
Granite Partners I, LLC, three unaffiliated entities, and
Triple Net Properties, T REIT, Inc. and Triple Net Properties
Realty, Inc., or the Triple Net Entities. The complaint alleged
that the Triple Net Entities willfully and intentionally
interfered with an agreement between Property One and Clearview
for the sale of certain real property located in Houston, Texas
by Property One to Clearview. On January 7, 2005, Clearview
filed an amended complaint which also alleged that the Triple
Net Entities breached a contract between Clearview and the
Triple Net Entities for the sale of the Houston, Texas property
by Clearview to the Triple Net Entities and for conspiracy with
Property One to breach this contract. On March 25, 2005,
Clearview filed a further amended complaint which named T REIT,
L.P. as an additional Triple Net Entity defendant and dropped
Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc. as a defendant.
On May 4, 2005, the Court denied our motion for summary
judgment. On July 28, 2005, the Triple Net Entities filed
their second amended motion for summary judgment to dismiss the
claims against us, which amended motion was granted in our favor
by the Court on August 8, 2005. On December 12, 2005,
a one-day
trial was held to determine our ability to recover from
Clearview, attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs incurred in
this case as provided for pursuant to the terms of the
agreements underlying Clearview’s breach of contract claims
against us. On May 17, 2006, the Court entered a final
judgment awarding the Triple Net Entities $212,000 in
attorneys’ fees for services rendered, $25,000 for
attorneys’ fees if Clearview unsuccessfully appeals the
case to the court of appeals, and $13,000 for attorneys’
fees if Clearview unsuccessfully appeals the case to the Texas
Supreme Court. Clearview has indicated that it intends to appeal
the Court’s grant of our second amended motion for summary
judgment. On June 16, 2006, Clearview filed a motion for
new trial; however, on September 8, 2006, we were notified
that Clearview’s motion for new trial was overruled by
operation of law. On August 8, 2006, Clearview filed its
notice of appeal which was amended on August 14, 2006. On
April 27, 2007, the Court of Appeals abated the appeal and
ordered the Court to file findings of fact and conclusions of
law no later than May 17, 2007. Once the Court enters those
findings, the appeal will be reinstated.
Mission
Residential
In October 2004, Triple Net Properties and Mission Residential,
LLC, or Mission Residential, formed NNN/Mission Residential
Holdings, LLC, or NNN/Mission, and entered into an operating
agreement dated as of October 1, 2004. Under this
agreement, Mission Residential was to locate multi-family
replacement property appropriate for our TIC programs, conduct
due diligence on the property, obtain financing for and close
the acquisition of the property, manage the property through an
affiliate and provide property disposition services. Triple Net
Properties’ responsibilities under the agreement were to
maintain the books and records of NNN/Mission, provide
accounting and tax preparation services, oversee placement of
the equity for the acquisition of the properties and be
responsible for investor relations. The agreement provides that
for one year following the acquisition of the first property
under the agreement, Mission Residential had the obligation to
show properties that it identified for acquisition exclusively
to Triple Net Properties. In addition, the agreement provides
that Mission Residential was obligated to use its best efforts
to present four properties in 2004 and a total of 22 properties
in 2005 to Triple Net Properties.
Only four multi-family properties were presented in 2004, and
none in 2005, despite Triple Net Properties’ repeated
request for properties. Mission Residential subsequently
syndicated nine multi-family properties on its own during the
relevant period. Triple Net Properties notified Mission
Residential that Mission Residential had breached the
exclusivity and best efforts provisions of the agreement before
turning the matter over to legal counsel to represent it in
initiating arbitration. Triple Net Properties filed a statement
of claim with the American Arbitration Association, or AAA.
Mission Residential filed responses denying the claim and
contesting the arbitrator’s jurisdiction to hear the
matter. Mission Residential did not initially file a
counterclaim against Triple Net Properties. The arbitrator ruled
in July 2006 that he had jurisdiction to hear the claim, ordered
the parties to proceed with discovery, and set a hearing date of
January 29, 2007 through February 2, 2007. The
arbitrator also granted Triple Net Properties leave to file an
amended statement of claim asserting Mission Residential
materially breached the operating agreement, willfully breached
its fiduciary duties and committed willful misconduct by
usurping the nine properties during the relevant period of the
agreement.
In an effort to avoid having the arbitration go forward, Mission
Residential filed a lawsuit in the Fairfax Circuit Court seeking
an injunction and a declaration that Triple Net Properties’
claim is not subject to the agreement’s arbitration
provision. The lawsuit also sought an unspecified amount of
damages on behalf of NNN/Mission for Triple Net Properties’
alleged breaches of fiduciary duty primarily related to alleged
accounting issues. The trial court dismissed the request for an
injunction and dismissed the suit ruling that Mission
Residential’s claims should be asserted in arbitration.
Mission Residential appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court of
Virginia by filing a petition for appeal and requested a stay be
issued enjoining the arbitration. Additionally, Mission
Residential sought and was granted leave in the arbitration to
assert a counterclaim. Mission Residential also supplemented its
discovery responses to claim that Triple Net Properties was the
first to breach the agreement.
Both parties presented extensive evidence and testimony at the
evidentiary hearing and submitted extensive post-hearing briefs.
Contemporaneous with the parties submitting post-hearing briefs
to the arbitrator, the Supreme Court of Virginia, or the Court,
heard oral argument on Mission Residential’s petition. On
April 27, 2006, the Court granted Mission
Residential’s appeal, but denied Mission Residential’s
motion to stay the arbitration. No hearing date has been set at
this time on Mission Residential’s appeal. On May 2,2007, the arbitrator issued an interim award. The award
specifically finds that Mission Residential materially breached
the operating agreement and committed willful misconduct in
usurping the nine properties. The award also denies Mission
Residential’s counterclaim and orders payments which would
result in Triple Net Properties receiving a net of $2,489,000
from the award. Further, the award states that Triple Net
Properties has substantially prevailed in the arbitration,
thereby necessitating the reopening of the evidentiary hearing
to allow Triple Net Properties to submit a statement of account
of its separate expenses and costs, including attorneys’
fees.
Just prior to the evidentiary hearing, Mission Residential
initiated an arbitration proceeding relating to a dispute
between Mission Residential and Triple Net Properties regarding
a buy-sell right in the operating agreement. Neither Triple Net
Properties nor Mission Residential seeks any monetary damages in
this matter. Rather, both parties seek declaratory relief as to
which has the right to purchase the other’s interest. To
date, the AAA has appointed an arbitrator and an evidentiary
hearing has been scheduled for September 20 and 21, 2007. Triple
Net Properties believes the arbitrator’s finding that
Mission Residential materially breached the operating agreement
may result in the buy-sell dispute being dismissed.
CORE
On September 1, 2006, Triple Net Properties filed a civil
lawsuit against CORE Realty Holdings, LLC, or CORE, entitled,
Triple Net Properties, LLC v. CORE Realty Holdings, LLC;
Aaron G. Cook; Laurie Levassar; and Michelle Moore, in the
United States District Court for the Central District of
California. Triple Net Properties believes that CORE and several
of its employees, also named in the lawsuit and former employees
of Triple Net Properties, engaged in a series of related and
intentional acts intended to harm Triple Net Properties and its
business, including misappropriation of confidential and
proprietary information and wrongful solicitation of clients and
employees. Triple Net Properties alleges that CORE and its
employees have engaged in tortious and illegal conduct,
including (1) misappropriation of trade secrets;
(2) violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act;
(3) violation of the California Unfair Competition Law;
(4) breach of contract; (5) breach of fiduciary duty
and breach of loyalty; (6) conversion; (7) tortious
interference with prospective business advantage; and
(8) criminal eavesdropping. Triple Net Properties requested
remedies include: (a) preliminary and permanent injunctions
requiring CORE, Cook, Levassar, and Moore to return all
confidential and proprietary information that was wrongfully
obtained and preventing them from using or in any way gaining a
competitive advantage as a result of this information;
(b) monetary damages not less than fifty million dollars
($50,000,000); (c) disgorgement of CORE and its
employees’ ill gotten gains; and (d) punitive damages.
At this time, we cannot forecast with reasonable certainty the
potential costs associated with the lawsuit or the outcome of
the lawsuit.
The parties stipulated to arbitrate Triple Net Properties’
claims against Cook, Levassar and Moore. Triple Net Properties
has filed a Demand for Arbitration with JAMS and served that
demand on the individual defendants. The Demand for Arbitration
alleges the same claims asserted in the civil lawsuit, which is
still proceeding in Federal court as to CORE. Neither CORE nor
any of the individual defendants have filed cross-claims against
Triple Net Properties in either proceeding. At this time, we
cannot forecast with reasonable certainty the outcome of either
proceeding.
Other
Matters
Louis J. Rogers served as the President of Triple Net Properties
from August 2004 to April 2007. On April 4, 2007, Triple
Net Properties terminated Mr. Rogers’ employment for
cause (as defined in his employment agreement). On April 6,2007, Mr. Rogers served a demand for arbitration pursuant
to his employment agreement claiming an unspecified amount of
damages for wrongful termination and for breach of his
employment agreement. A date for arbitration has not been set,
and we have not yet appointed an
arbitrator. We intend to vigorously defend the claim, but at
this time we cannot forecast with reasonable certainty the
potential costs associated with the arbitration or the outcome
of the arbitration.
We are involved in various other lawsuits and claims arising in
the ordinary course of business. These other matters are, in the
opinion of management, immaterial both individually and in the
aggregate with respect to our consolidated financial position,
liquidity or results of operations.
Properties
Our corporate headquarters are located at 1551 North Tustin
Avenue, Suite 300, Santa Ana, California, 92705. Under a
lease dated March 1, 2006, we lease our headquarters from
Tustin Centre Tower, LLC, for an annual rent of approximately
$1.2 million for the first 14 months, and an increase
of 3.0% for each
12-month
period thereafter. Our lease expires in December 2013. We also
maintain seven regional offices in Dallas, Texas; Denver,
Colorado; Las Vegas, Nevada; New York, New York; Santa Ana,
California; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Richmond, Virginia
that are also leased.
As of December 31, 2006, we owned one office property in
Colorado, which we repurchased from a TIC program in 2005. In
addition, from time to time we purchase properties and hold them
for sale to our programs. At December 31, 2006, we held
three of these properties.
The following table and discussion sets forth, as of the date of

CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
Composition
of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors currently consists of seven members,
including Messrs. Carpenter, Greene, Hunt and Wallace, whom
we have determined are independent. Our board of directors has
responsibility for our overall corporate governance and meets
regularly throughout the year. Our bylaws provide that our board
of directors may fix the exact number of directors by resolution
of the board of directors. Executive officers are elected by and
serve at the direction of our board of directors. There are no
family relationships between any of our directors or executive
officers. We have not yet adopted procedures by which security
holders may elect nominees to our board of directors but plan to
do so upon consummation of this offering.
Director
Independence
Our board of directors has determined that each of
Messrs. Carpenter, Greene, Hunt and Wallace is an
independent member of our board under the listing standards
of ,
and each has no material relationship with us that would impair
the director’s independence. In making these
determinations, our board of directors considered all
relationships between us and the director and the
director’s family members. During fiscal 2006, the only
direct or indirect relationship between us and each of these
directors (or his immediate family) was the director’s
service on our board. Mr. Rogers was determined not to be
an independent member of our board of directors based on his
employment by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Triple Net
Properties, from August 2004 through April 2007. Mr. Thompson
was determined not to be an independent member of our board of
directors, as he founded us in 1998 and was employed as an
executive officer through November 2006. Mr. Peters is
our Chief Executive Officer and President and therefore was
determined not to be an independent member of our board of
directors.

The amounts shown are the compensation costs recognized by us in
fiscal year 2006 in accordance with SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”),
related to our grant of 10,000 shares of restricted common
stock to each of our non-employee directors in November 2006.
There were no grants of options to purchase shares of our common
stock or restricted stock grants to our non-employee directors
prior to 2006. These shares vest in three equal increments on
November 16, 2007, November 16, 2008 and
November 16, 2009. The grant date fair value of the
10,000 shares of restricted stock granted on
November 16, 2006, was $100,000, as computed in accordance
with SFAS No. 123R, based on a value of
$10.00 per share of restricted stock as of
December 31, 2006. In determining this $10.00 value, we
considered the offering price to investors of $10.00 per
share in November 2006.

$450,000 for his service as our Chairman. Mr. Thompson does
not have an employment agreement for his role as Chairman. Our
executive officers meet with the Chairman weekly to formulate
strategic plans and discuss implementation of the operational
aspects of the business.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No member of the compensation committee is a current or former
officer or employee of us or any of our subsidiaries. None of
our executive officers serves as a member of the board of
directors or compensation committee of any company that has one
or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our
board of directors or compensation committee.
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis section discusses the
compensation policies and programs for our named executive
officers, which consist of our Chief Executive Officer, our
Chief Financial Officer and our three next most highly paid
executive officers as determined under the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The compensation committee of our board of directors administers
the compensation policies and programs for our executive
officers, including our named executive officers. The primary
objectives of our compensation programs are to:
•
Attract and retain talented and qualified executive officers to
manage and lead our company;
•
Motivate and reward executive officers whose knowledge, skill
and performance are critical to our success;
•
Align the interests of our executive officers and stockholders
through equity-based long-term incentive awards that motivate
executive officers to increase stockholder value and reward
executive officers when stockholder value increases;
•
Ensure fairness among the executive management team by
recognizing contributions each executive officer makes to our
success; and
•
Compensate our executives to manage our business to meet our
short-term objectives by rewarding executive officers based on
the achievement of our short-term objectives and each executive
officer’s contribution to our successful performance.
Consistent with our compensation committee’s objectives,
our overall compensation program is structured to attract,
motivate and retain highly qualified executives by paying them
competitively and tying their compensation to our success as a
whole and their contribution to our success.
For 2006, our executive compensation was primarily set by our
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Our 2006
executive compensation program had four primary components:
(i) salary component, (ii) discretionary annual cash
bonus, (iii) a long-term equity incentive component granted
in the form of stock options and restricted stock awards and
(iv) severance benefits, insurance benefits and other
perquisites. Our compensation programs, including the allocation
between cash and non-cash compensation, is largely designed to
provide incentives and rewards for both our short-term and
long-term performance, and is structured to motivate executive
officers to meet our strategic objectives, thereby maximizing
total return to stockholders. In addition, we provide our
executive officers a variety of benefits that are available
generally to all salaried employees.
Our compensation committee has sole authority to retain or
terminate an independent compensation consultant. The
compensation committee has not used the services of a
compensation consultant to date; however it plans to retain a
compensation consultant in 2007.
Compensation
Components
Executive compensation consists of the following:
Base
Salary
We determine our executive salaries based on job
responsibilities and individual experience, skill and knowledge,
as well as competitive market conditions. In establishing the
2006 base salaries of the named executive officers, our Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer took into account a
number of factors, including the executive officer’s
seniority, position and function role, level of responsibility
and prior performance. In connection with our private offering
of common stock in November 2006, members of our senior
management team, including our named executive officers, (other
than Mr. Thompson), entered into
employment agreements with us, which included their respective
base salaries for 2007 and the last two months of 2006. The
compensation arrangements in the employment agreements were
determined based on negotiations between each executive officer
and our initial directors (consisting of Messrs. Thompson,
Peters and Rogers) in connection with our 144A private equity
offering. In April 2007, Mr. Rogers’ employment was
terminated by us for cause pursuant to the terms of his
employment agreement.
The executive officers’ employment under the employment
agreements commenced upon the completion of our 144A private
equity offering in November 2006, and have an initial term of
three years. On the final day of the original term, and on each
anniversary thereafter, the term of the executive officers’
employment agreement will be extended automatically for one
additional year, unless we or the executive provides at least
one year written notice to the other that the term will not be
extended.
The employment agreements provide an annual base salary for each
executive officer. Each executive officer’s annual base
salary as set by the employment agreements is $550,000,
$550,000, $400,000, $350,000 and $350,000 for each of
Mr. Peters, Mr. Rogers, Ms. Biller,
Ms. LaPoint and Mr. Hanson. Mr. Thompson is paid
an annual retainer of $450,000 for his service as our Chairman.
An executive officer’s base salary may be increased from
time to time during the employment period by an amount
determined by our board or our compensation committee.
In December 2006, our board of directors established our
compensation committee. Our compensation committee will review
the salaries of our executives annually, beginning with 2008
compensation, and will determine compensation based on
individual performance during the prior calendar year, cost of
living adjustments and other factors that it deems appropriate.
Discretionary
Bonus
The employment agreements also provide that each executive is
eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus, with each
executive’s target bonus being a percentage of his or her
annual base salary. Each executive’s target bonus
percentage is set forth below. In addition, subject to the
termination provisions discussed below, on January 1 of each
fiscal year commencing on January 1, 2007, Mr. Hanson
may become entitled to receive a special bonus with respect to
each fiscal year in the amount of $250,000. Mr. Hanson will
be entitled to this special bonus if, during such fiscal year,
(x) Mr. Hanson is the procuring cause of at least
$25 million of equity from new sources, which equity is
actually received by us during such fiscal year, for real estate
investments sourced by us, and (y) Mr. Hanson is
employed by us on the last day of such fiscal year.
The following table sets forth the target bonus percentage of
base salary for each of our executives and, where noted, certain
executive officers of Triple Net Properties:
Target Bonus
Range as a Percentage
Name
Title
of Base Salary
Scott D. Peters
Chief Executive Officer and
President
0% to 200%
Louis J. Rogers
President of Triple Net Properties
0% to 150%
Andrea R. Biller
General Counsel, Executive Vice
President and Secretary
0% to 150%
Francene LaPoint
Chief Financial Officer
0% to 100%
Jeffrey T. Hanson
Chief Investment Officer
0% to 100%
Following the establishment of the compensation committee, the
compensation committee has the authority to award discretionary
annual bonuses to our executive officers. We structure our
annual performance bonuses to reward named executive officers
and employees for our successful performance and each
individual’s contribution to that performance. For 2006, no
specific performance targets were used in determining bonus
amounts. For 2006, we paid cash bonuses to Mr. Thompson,
Mr. Peters, Mr. Rogers, Ms. Biller,
Ms. LaPoint and Mr. Hanson of $4.5 million,
$1.2 million, $1.5 million, $551,000, $271,000 and
$1.2 million, respectively. Mr. Hanson’s bonus of
$1.2 million included a $750,000 sign-on bonus.
We believe that ownership in our company is important to provide
our executive officers with long-term incentives to build value
for our stockholders. We believe stock-based awards help to
align the interests of our executive officers with the interests
of our stockholders. In 2006, we adopted a 2006 Long Term
Incentive Plan. The principal features of our 2006 Long Term
Incentive Plan are summarized under “— 2006 Long
Term Incentive Plan.” The principal purpose of our 2006
Long Term Incentive Plan is to attract, retain and motivate
selected employees, consultants and directors through the
granting of stock-based compensation awards and cash-based
performance bonus awards. For 2006, the award of stock options
and restricted stock to our executive officers was determined by
our initial directors (Messrs. Thompson, Peters and
Rogers). Going forward, we believe that the compensation
committee and board will develop their equity award
determinations based on their judgments as to whether the
complete compensation packages provided to our executive
officers, including prior equity awards, are sufficient to
retain, motivate and adequately award the executive officers.
Restricted
Stock Awards
We have made grants of restricted stock to our executive
officers to provide additional long-term incentive to build
stockholder value. Restricted stock awards are made in
anticipation of contributions that will create value in the
company and are subject to a lapsing repurchase right by the
company over a period of time. Because the shares have a defined
value at the time the restricted stock grants are made,
restricted stock grants are often perceived as having more
immediate value than stock options, which have a less calculable
value when granted.
On November 16, 2006, under the 2006 Long Term Incentive
Plan, we granted restricted stock awards to our named executive
officers, other than Mr. Thompson. As of January 1,2007, one-third of these shares had vested, with one-third
vesting on January 1, 2008 and one-third vesting on
January 1, 2009. The shares of restricted stock awarded
were issued without a purchase price and are subject to
forfeiture in the event of the termination of the
executive’s employment, and are also subject to transfer
and other restrictions.
Stock
Options
We believe that providing a significant portion of our executive
officers’ total compensation package in stock options
aligns the incentives of our executive officers with the
interests of our stockholders and with our long-term success. We
award stock options under our 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan.
On November 16, 2006, we awarded non-qualified stock
options representing the right to purchase shares of our common
stock to our named executive officers, other than
Mr. Thompson. The exercise price for these option grants is
$10.00, which is the fair market value of our common stock on
the date of the grant as determined by our board of directors
and was based on the price per share of our common stock paid by
investors in our 144A private equity offering. The options have
a term of 10 years and vest and become exercisable with
respect to one-third of the underlying shares of our common
stock on the grant date, and one-third on the first and second
anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the executive
officer’s continued employment. The options are subject to
forfeiture in the event of the termination of the executive
officer’s employment, and are also subject to transfer and
other restrictions
Stock
Ownership Guidelines
Stock ownership guidelines have not been implemented by the
compensation committee for our executive officers. Prior to our
initial public offering, the market for our stock was limited.
We have chosen not to require stock ownership given the limited
market for our securities. We will continue to periodically
review best practices and re-evaluate our position with respect
to stock ownership guidelines.
Profit
Sharing Plan
We have established a profit sharing plan for our employees,
pursuant to which we provide matching contributions. Generally,
all employees are eligible to participate following one year of
service with us.
Matching contributions are made in our sole discretion.
Participants interests in their respective contribution account
vests over 4 years, with 0% vested in the first year of
service, 25% in the second year, 50% in the third year and 100%
in the fourth year.
Perquisites
and Other Benefits
We currently offer the following employee benefit plans to our
executive officers: health, dental, life insurance, long-term
disability insurance, profit-sharing and a 401(k) savings plan.
We also pay 100% of the premium cost of health insurance
coverage provided to executive officers. In addition, pursuant
to his employment agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Peters a
moving relocation expense payment in the amount of $1,750,000,
in connection with his relocation from Arizona to California,
and to reimburse him for his reasonable living expenses until
the moving relocation expense is paid. This moving relocation
expense payment has not yet been incurred or paid.
The employment agreements provide that each of Ms. Biller
and Messrs. Peters and Rogers are entitled to receive a
grant of a membership share of NNN Apartment Management, LLC, in
an amount to be determined on the grant date. Each of
Ms. Biller and Mr. Peters currently own 18% of the
membership interests in NNN Apartment Management, LLC. NNN
Apartment Management, LLC has redeemed Mr. Rogers’
membership interests in connection with his termination as one
of our executive officers.
Also, the employment agreements provide that Ms. Biller and
Messrs. Peters, Rogers and Hanson are entitled to receive a
grant of a membership share of the NNN Healthcare/Office
Management, LLC, in an amount to be determined on the grant
date. Each of Ms. Biller and Messrs. Peters and Hanson
currently owns 18.0% of the membership interests in NNN
Healthcare/Office Management, LLC. Mr. Rogers did not
receive a membership share as a result of his termination as one
of our executive officers.
The employment agreements also provide that Ms. Biller and
Messrs. Peters, Rogers and Hanson may be entitled to
receive a grant of a membership share of NNN Institutional
Advisors, LLC, the advisor for the NNN Institutional Real Estate
Fund, LP, in an amount to be determined on the grant date.
Additional Benefits. The employment agreements
provide that each executive is entitled to participate in any of
our benefit plans that are made generally available to our
executives, including any deferred compensation, health, dental,
life insurance, long-term disability insurance, retirement,
pension or 401(k) savings plan. Also, the employment agreements
provide that we will pay 100% of the premium cost of health
insurance coverage provided to the executives. The employment
agreements provide that each executive is entitled to such
fringe benefits as may be determined or granted by our board, or
our compensation committee. During each executive’s
employment term, the executive is entitled to four weeks of paid
vacation time in each calendar year on a pro-rated basis, and is
entitled to all our paid holidays, subject to our vacation and
holiday policies, as in effect from time to time.
The employment agreements also provide that we will maintain
insurance to insure each executive against claims arising out of
an alleged wrongful act occurring during his or her respective
employment term when the executive is acting as a director or
officer for us or one of our subsidiaries. The employment
agreements provide that we will indemnify and exculpate, to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each executive
from money damages incurred as a result of claims arising out of
an alleged wrongful act occurring during his or her respective
employment term when the executive is acting as an officer,
director or employee for us or one of our subsidiaries. However,
Mr. Rogers will not be entitled to indemnification as a
result of any losses incurred resulting from any agreement
entered into by Mr. Rogers in connection with his
indemnification obligations to us under (i) the
Contribution Agreement relating to the contribution of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Realty by the holders
thereof to us, (ii) the Contribution Agreement relating to
the contribution of the outstanding shares of common stock of
Capital Corp. by the holders thereof to us, and (iii) the
Indemnification and Escrow Agreement regarding regulatory
matters.
The following description relates to the employment agreements
between us and each executive officer, other than
Mr. Thompson who does not have an employment agreement with
us.
Termination of Employment. The employment
agreements provide that an executive officer’s employment
will be terminated under the following circumstances: death,
prolonged physical or mental disability of the executive,
discharged by us, with or without cause, resignation by the
executive, with or without good reason, or expiration of the
executive officer’s employment term with us. Upon
termination of employment, other than for cause, or for
resignation without good reason, our executive officers are
entitled to receive severance payments under their employment
agreements. In determining whether to approve and setting the
terms of such severance arrangements, the board recognized that
executive officers, especially highly ranked executive officers,
often face challenges securing new employment following
termination. Additionally, the agreements are designed to retain
the executive officers and provide continuity of management in
the event of an actual or threatened change in the control of
us, and to ensure that the executive officers’ compensation
and benefits expectations would be satisfied in such event. For
a description of the severance benefits to which our executive
officers are entitled under their employment agreements see
“— Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change
of Control.”
Covenant Not to Compete. The employment
agreements provide that during employment with us and for a
period of one year following thereafter, each executive officer
has agreed not to engage in any competitive business.
Specifically, during that period each executive has agreed not
to:
•
compete directly with us in a business similar to ours,
•
compete directly or indirectly with us with respect to any
acquisition or development of any real estate project undertaken
or being considered by us,
•
lend or allow their name or reputation to be used by or in
connection with any business competitive with us, and
•
solicit for employment, or encourage to resign from employment,
any employee of ours, or intentionally interfere with or disrupt
the relationship between us and any lessee, tenant, supplier,
contractor, lender, employee or governmental agency or authority.
The non-competition provisions of each executives employment
agreement will survive for one year following the termination of
the executives employment, regardless of whether the termination
is by discharge by us for cause or without cause, or by
resignation by the executive for good reason or not for good
reason. However, if during the 12 months following a change
in control, the executive resigns for good reason, or is
discharged by us without cause, then the non-competition
provisions will not survive the executives resignation or
discharge from employment.
Covenant of Confidentiality. Each executive
has agreed that during employment with us and for a period of
three years following thereafter, he or she will not directly or
indirectly disclose or make available to any person or entity
any of our confidential information.
Non-Disparagement. Each executive has agreed
to not disparage us, any of our subsidiaries, any of our
practices, or any of our directors, officers, agents,
representatives, or employees at any time. We have agreed to not
disparage at any time any of the executives with whom we have
entered into an employment agreement.
Arbitration Agreement. The employment
agreements provide that any controversy, dispute or claim
between the executive and us, or our parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates and any of their officers, directors, agents or other
employees, will be resolved by binding arbitration, at the
request of either party.

obligation to pay this amount.
Grants of
Plan-Based Awards
The following table sets forth information regarding the grants
of plan-based awards we made to our named executive officers for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
In connection with approving our formation transactions and our
144A private equity offering, our board of directors approved
the initial grants of stock options to our executive officers
and directors, to be granted conditioned on the closing of the
private equity financing, which occurred on November 16,2006. The exercise price of the stock option grants was $10.00,
the price per share sold in the private equity financing.
(2)
Amounts shown represent restricted stock issued under our 2006
Long Term Incentive Plan that vest in three equal installments
on January 1, 2007, January 1, 2008 and
January 1, 2009, subject to continued service with us.
(3)
Amounts shown represent options issued under our 2006 Long Term
Incentive Plan that vest and become exercisable with respect to
one-third of the underlying shares of our common stock on the
grant date, and on the first and second anniversaries of the
grant date, subject to the executive’s continued employment
with us, and have a maximum term of ten years.
(4)
The grant date fair value of the shares of restricted stock
granted on November 16, 2006, as computed in accordance
with SFAS No. 123R is based on a value of $9.50 per
share of restricted stock. This value was determined based on
the offering price to investors of $10.00 per share in November
2006. We then relied on an independent valuation firm as of
January 1, 2007, which valued the discount applicable to
our restricted stock, taking into account the decrease in
liquidity as a result of the lock-up agreements entered into by
each executive officer. The grant date fair value of the options
to purchase shares of common stock granted on November 16,2006, as computed in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, is
based on a value of $4.93 per share issuable upon exercise
of the options. This value was determined based on the offering
price to investors of $10.00 per share in November 2006,
and the application of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Amounts shown represent options granted on November 16,2006 under our 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan that vest and
become exercisable in with respect to one-third of the
underlying shares of our common stock on each of
November 16, 2006, November 16, 2007 and
November 16, 2008, subject to the executive’s
continued employment with us, and have a maximum term of
ten-years.

Options
Exercises and Stock Vested
Our named executive officers did not exercise any stock options
or have any stock awards vest during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006.
Potential
Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
Severance Agreements. We have entered into
employment agreements with each of our named executive officers,
other than Mr. Thompson, and certain other executive officers
that provide certain benefits in the event of our termination of
such executive’s employment.
Under these agreements, if we terminate an executive
officer’s employment for cause or if the executive
voluntarily resigns without good reason (as defined below), the
executive officer is entitled to accrued salary and any
unreimbursed business expenses. If the executives employment
terminates because of expiration of the executive officer’s
employment term, death or disability, we will pay an accrued
salary, any unreimbursed business expenses, and a prorated
performance bonus equal to the performance bonus (and in the
case of termination for reason of death or disability, equal to
the maximum target) that otherwise would have been payable to
the executive in the fiscal year in which the termination occurs
had the executive officer continued employment through the last
day of such fiscal year, prorated for the number of calendar
months the executive officer was employed by us in such fiscal
year. The prorated performance bonus will be paid within
60 days after the executive officer’s date of
termination, provided that the executive officer executes and
delivers to us a general release of claims (and does not revoke
the release), and the executive officer is not in material
breach of any of the provisions of his or her employment
agreement.
Cause is generally defined to mean:
•
the executive officer’s material breach of any of the
material terms of the employment agreement, or any
confidentiality or proprietary information and inventions
agreement between the executive and us;
•
the executive officer’s gross negligence, willful
misconduct or fraudulent acts in the performance of his or her
duties under the employment agreement; or
•
the executive officer’s conviction of, or the entry of a
plea of guilty or no contest to, a felony.
Cause will not include situations where the executive officer,
in exercise of the executive officer’s professional
judgment regarding federal securities laws, state securities
laws and related authorities and industry standards of conduct,
and in consultation with outside counsel competent with such
federal securities laws, state securities laws and related
authorities and industry standards of conduct, refuses the
instruction of or is in disagreement with our board of directors
about matters of our compliance with such federal securities
laws, state securities laws and related authorities and industry
standards of conduct.
Good reason is generally defined to mean the occurrence, without
the express written consent of the executive, of any of the
following events, unless such event is substantially corrected
within 30 days following written notification by the
executive officer to us that he or she intends to terminate his
or her employment because of such event:
•
any material reduction or diminution in the compensation,
benefits or responsibilities of the executive;
•
any material breach or material default by us under any material
provision of the executive officer’s employment agreement;
•
any material diminution in the executive officer’s position
or responsibilities for us;
•
any relocation from our principal place of business to a
location that is more than 35 miles away;
•
for Mr. Peters exclusively, the failure of our stockholders
to elect or reelect Mr. Peters to our board of directors,
provided that Mr. Peters stands for election or reelection,
as applicable; or
when the executive, in the exercise of the executive
officer’s professional judgment regarding federal
securities laws, state securities laws and related authorities
and industry standards of conduct, believes that our board of
directors or other control persons have failed to adequately
respond to issues raised by the executive officer regarding
compliance with federal securities laws, state securities law,
and related authorities and industry standards applicable to us
and our subsidiaries.
If the executive officer’s employment terminates because of
discharge by us without cause, or voluntary resignation by the
executive officer with good reason, we will pay any accrued
salary, any unreimbursed business expenses and a severance
benefit, in a lump sum cash payment, equal to the
executive’s annual salary plus the executive officer’s
target bonus in the year of the termination, the sum of which
will be multiplied by a “severance benefit factor.”
The “severance benefit factor” will be determined as
follows: (a) if the date of termination occurs during the
original three year employment term, the “severance benefit
factor” will be the greater of one, and the number of
months from the date of termination to the last day of the
original three year employment term, divided by 12, or
(b) if the date of termination is after the original three
year employment term, the “severance benefit factor”
will equal one. Also, the executive officer will become fully
vested in his or her options and restricted shares.
Mr. Hanson’s employment agreement further provides for
an additional severance benefit equal to the lesser of
(x) one percent of the amount of equity from new sources
not previously related to us or any of our subsidiaries, for
which Mr. Hanson is the procuring cause in our fiscal year
in which the date of termination occurs, which equity is
actually received by us or any of our subsidiaries during such
fiscal year, for real estate investments sourced by us or any of
our subsidiaries, or (y) $250,000, if he is discharged by
us without cause, or he voluntarily resigns for good reason. The
additional severance benefit to Mr. Hanson will be in lieu
of the $250,000 special bonus to Mr. Hanson in respect of
the fiscal year in which his termination of employment occurs.
The severance benefits discussed above will be paid within
60 days after the executive officer’s date of
termination, provided that the executive officer executes and
delivers to us a general release of claims (and does not revoke
the release), and the executive officer is not in material
breach of any of the provisions of his or her employment
agreement. Upon any termination discussed above, the executive
officer will resign, effective upon the date of termination,
from all offices and directorships then held with us or any of
our subsidiaries and affiliates.
Termination of Employment in connection with a Change in
Control. Upon a change in control, an executive
may become entitled to payments and health insurance coverage
upon a qualifying termination (as described more fully below),
and also may become fully vested in his or her options and
restricted shares, as more fully described below. In general
terms, a change in control occurs upon:
following our initial public offering, any natural person,
corporation, or any other entity (with certain exceptions)
directly or indirectly becoming the “beneficial owner”
(as such term is defined in
Rule 13d-3
and
Rule 13d-5
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of than 35% of
the voting power of our total outstanding voting securities;
•
any natural person, corporation, or any other entity (with
certain exceptions) acquiring all or substantially all of the
assets and business of our company;
•
during any period of two consecutive years, a majority of our
board of directors is constituted by individuals other than
(1) individuals who were directors prior to the beginning
of such two year period, and (2) new directors whose
election or appointment by our board of directors or nomination
for election by our stockholders was approved by a vote of at
least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who
either were directors immediately prior to the beginning of the
two year period or whose election or nomination for election was
previously so approved; or
•
the consummation by us (whether directly involving us or
indirectly involving us through intermediaries ) of a merger,
consolidation, reorganization, business combination, or the
acquisition of
assets or stock of another entity, resulting in a successor
entity, which would result in our voting securities outstanding
immediately before the transaction representing less than 50% of
the combined voting power of the successor entity’s
outstanding voting securities immediately after the transaction.
If the executive officer is discharged by us without cause at
any time within 90 days before, or 12 months after, a
change in control, or if the executive officer resigns from
employment with us for good reason within 12 months after a
change in control, or if the executive officer resigns from
employment with us without good reason during the period
commencing six months after a change in control and ending
12 months after a change in control, then we will pay the
executive officer any accrued salary, any unreimbursed business
expenses, and a severance benefit. The severance benefit will be
in a lump sum cash payment, equal to the executive
officer’s annual salary plus the executive officer’s
target bonus in the year of the termination, the sum of which
will be multiplied by three. The executive will also receive
100% of the company-paid health insurance coverage as provided
to the executive officer immediately prior to the executive
officer’s termination. The health insurance coverage will
continue for two years following termination of employment, or
until the executive officer becomes covered under another
employer’s group health insurance plan, whichever comes
first. Also, the executive officer will become fully vested in
his or her options and restricted shares.
In addition, Mr. Hanson’s employment agreement
provides for an additional severance benefit equal to the lesser
of (x) one percent of the amount of equity from new sources
not previously related to us or any of our subsidiaries, for
which Mr. Hanson is the procuring cause in our fiscal year
in which the date of termination occurs, which equity is
actually received by us or any of our subsidiaries during such
fiscal year, for real estate investments sourced by us or any of
our subsidiaries, or (y) $250,000, if he is discharged by
us without cause at any time within 90 days before, or
12 months after, a change in control, or if Mr. Hanson
voluntarily resigns for good reason within 12 months after
a change in control, or if Mr. Hanson voluntarily resigns
without good reason during the period commencing six months
after a change in control and ending 12 months after a
change in control. The additional severance benefit to
Mr. Hanson will be in lieu of the $250,000 special bonus to
Mr. Hanson in respect of the fiscal year in which his
termination of employment occurs.
The severance benefits discussed above will be paid within
60 days after the executive officer’s date of
termination, provided that the executive officer executes and
delivers to us a general release of claims (and does not revoke
the release), and the executive officer is not in material
breach of any of the provisions of his or her employment
agreement. Any payment and benefits discussed in this paragraph
regarding a termination associated with a change in control will
be in lieu of any payments and benefits that would otherwise be
awarded in an executive’s termination.
If payments or other amounts become due to an executive officer
under the employment agreement or otherwise, and the excise tax
imposed by the Internal Revenue Code Section 4999 applies
to such payments, the terms of the employment agreements require
us to pay a gross up payment to the executive in the amount of
this excise tax plus the amount of income, excise and other
taxes due as a result of the gross up payment. All
determinations required to be made and the assumptions to be
utilized in arriving at such determinations, with certain
exceptions, will be made by our independent certified public
accountants serving immediately prior to the change in control.
In accordance with the requirements of the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the following table presents
our reasonable estimate of the benefits payable to named
executive officers, other than Mr. Thompson, under our
employment agreements assuming that (i) a discharge without
cause or voluntary resignation with good reason occurred on
December 29, 2006, the last business day of fiscal 2006 and
(ii) a discharge without cause or voluntary resignation for
good reason occurred during the protective period in connection
with a change of control on December 29, 2006, the last
business day of fiscal 2006. While we
have made reasonable assumptions regarding the amounts payable,
there can be no assurance that in the event of a termination of
employment the named executive officer will receive the amounts
reflected below.

On April 4, 2007, Triple Net Properties terminated
Mr. Rogers’ employment for cause (as defined in his
employment agreement). Under the terms of his agreement, we paid
Mr. Rogers accrued but unpaid salary and reimbursable
business expenses. On April 6, 2007, Mr. Rogers served
a demand for arbitration claiming wrongful termination and
breach of his agreement. We intend to rigorously defend this
claim, and we cannot at this time reasonably forecast the
outcome of the arbitration.
(2)
In the case of expiration of the executive officer’s
employment term, death or disability, the executive officer is
paid only earned salary and a prorated performance bonus. Since
the assumed event occurred as of December 29, 2006, the
last business day of the fiscal year, all payments due were
deemed earned and therefore no amounts are included in this
table.
(3)
In the case of discharge without cause or voluntary resignation
with good reason, represents the sum of the executive’s
annual salary and target bonus multiplied by a “severance
benefit factor.” In this case, the severance benefit factor
is equal to the number of months (35) remaining in the
executive’s employment term as of the end of fiscal 2006,
divided by 12.
(4)
In the case of change in control and discharge without cause or
voluntary resignation with good reason within the protective
period, represents the sum of the executive officer’s
annual salary and target bonus multiplied by three.
(5)
With respect to Mr. Hanson, does not include up to $250,000
in severance benefits related to the amount of new equity he
procures for us, because any payments due are deemed earned
during the year.
Represents the aggregate value of the continuation of medical
and dental benefits for two years after the date of termination,
which premiums are calculated based on the amounts paid for each
executive officer in 2006.
(7)
Represents the aggregate value of the acceleration of vesting of
the participant’s unvested stock options because the
exercise price of the stock options is $10.00 per share and
the value of our common stock on December 29, 2006 was
$10.00 per share, no amounts are recognized upon
acceleration of all options.
(8)
Represents the aggregate value of the acceleration of vesting of
the participant’s unvested restricted stock. Based on
$10.00 per share, the value of our common stock on
December 29, 2006, multiplied by the number of shares of
restricted stock held by each executive officer.
(9)
Represents an additional amount sufficient to offset the impact
of any “excess parachute payment” excise tax and
income tax payable by the executive pursuant to the provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code (assuming a Federal tax rate of
36.45%) and assuming a 10.3% state tax rate).

Excludes the value to the executive officer of continued right
to indemnification by us. Each participant will be indemnified
by us and will receive continued coverage under our
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (if
applicable).
Indemnification
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide
indemnification rights to the members of our board of directors
and officers. See “Description of Capital Stock —
Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors.”
Additionally, we have entered into separate indemnification
agreements with the members of our board of directors and our
executive officers to provide additional indemnification
benefits, including the right to receive in advance
reimbursements for expenses incurred in connection with a
defense for which the director or officer is entitled to
indemnification. In addition, we have a directors and officers
liability insurance policy for the benefit of our directors and
officers.
2006
Long-Term Incentive Plan
In September 2006, our board of directors and then sole
stockholder approved and adopted the NNN Realty Advisors, Inc.
2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which we refer to as our 2006
Plan. The principal features of the 2006 Plan are summarized
below, but the summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the 2006 Plan itself which is filed with the SEC as an
exhibit hereto. We encourage you to read the 2006 Plan carefully.
Purpose
of the 2006 Plan
The purpose of the 2006 Plan is to provide additional incentive
for our directors, key employees and consultants to further our
growth, development and our financial success by personally
benefiting through the ownership of our common stock, or other
rights which recognize such growth, development and financial
success. Our board of directors also believes that the 2006 Plan
will enable us to obtain and retain the services of our
directors, key employees and consultants that are considered
essential to our long range success by offering them an
opportunity to own stock and other rights that reflect our
financial success. The 2006 Plan is also designed to permit us
to make cash and equity based awards intended to qualify as
“performance-based compensation” under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or the Code.
The 2006 Plan became effective immediately upon stockholder
approval.
Securities
Subject to the 2006 Plan
The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may
be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the 2006 Plan
is equal to 2,339,200 shares.
To the extent that an award or any portion thereof granted under
the 2006 Plan terminates, expires or lapses for any reason, any
unissued shares subject to the award at such time will be
available for future grants under the 2006 Plan. If any shares
of restricted stock are surrendered by a participant or
repurchased by us
pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Plan, such shares also will be
available for future grants under the 2006 Plan. The add back of
shares due to the replenishment provisions of the 2006 Plan will
be on a one share added back for each one stock option, stock
appreciation right and other award for which the holder pays the
intrinsic value that was granted under the 2006 Plan is
subsequently terminated, expired, cancelled, forfeited or
repurchased. For every other award granted under the 2006 Plan,
that is for every full-value award granted under the 2006 Plan,
that is expired, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased two shares
will be made available for issuance under the 2006 Plan. In no
event, however, will any shares of our common stock again be
available for future grants under the Plan if such action would
cause an incentive stock option to fail to qualify as an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.
To the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule,
shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any
outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of
combination by us will not be counted against the shares
available for issuance under the 2006 Plan.
The shares of our common stock covered by the 2006 Plan may be
treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares, or shares
purchased in the open market.
Eligibility
Our employees, consultants and non-employee directors are
eligible to receive awards under the 2006 Plan. As of
December 31, 2006, we had approximately 435 employees and
seven directors, three of whom are employee directors. The
administrator of the 2006 Plan determines which of our
employees, consultants and directors will be granted awards. No
employee, non-employee director or consultant is entitled to
participate in the 2006 Plan as a matter of right, nor does any
such participation constitute assurance of continued employment
or service on our board of directors. Except for awards granted
to non-employee directors pursuant to the automatic grant
provisions of the 2006 Plan, only those employees, non-employee
directors and consultants who are selected to receive grants by
the administrator may participate in the 2006 Plan.
Awards
Under the 2006 Plan
The 2006 Plan provides that the administrator may grant or issue
stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted
stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock, dividend
equivalents, performance awards and stock payments, or any
combination thereof. Each award will be set forth in a separate
agreement with the person receiving the award and will indicate
the type, terms and conditions of the award.
Non-Qualified Stock Options. Non-qualified
stock options, or NQSOs, will provide for the right to purchase
shares of our common stock at a specified price not less than
the fair market value for a share of our common stock on the
date of grant, and usually will become exercisable (in the
discretion of the administrator) in one or more installments
after the grant date, subject to the completion of the
applicable vesting service period or the attainment of
pre-established performance goals. NQSOs may be granted for any
term specified by the administrator, but may not exceed ten
years.
Incentive Stock Options. Incentive stock
options, or ISOs, will be designed to comply with the applicable
provisions of the Code relating to ISOs. Among such
restrictions, ISOs must have an exercise price not less than the
fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of
grant, may only be granted to employees, and must not be
exercisable after a period of ten years measured from the date
of grant. ISOs, however, may be subsequently modified to
disqualify them from treatment as ISOs. The total fair market
value of shares (determined as of the respective date or dates
of grant) for which one or more options granted to any employee
by us (including all options granted under the 2006 Plan and all
other four option plans or any parent or subsidiary corporation)
may for the first time become exercisable as ISOs during any one
calendar year shall not exceed the sum of $100,000. To the
extent this limit is exceeded, the options granted will be
NQSOs. In the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns
(or is deemed to own) more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of our stock or any parent or subsidiary
corporation, referred to as a 10% Owner, the 2006 Plan provides
that the exercise price of an ISO must be at least 110% of the
fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of
grant and the ISO must not be exercisable after a period of five
years measured from the date of grant. Like NQSOs, ISOs usually
will become exercisable (in
the discretion of the administrator) in one or more installments
after the grant date, subject to the completion of the
applicable vesting service period or the attainment of
pre-established performance goals.
Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation
rights, or SARs, provide for the payment of an amount to the
holder based upon increases in the price of our common stock
over a set base price. The base price of any SAR granted under
the 2006 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of
a share of our common stock on the date of grant. SARs under the
2006 Plan will be settled in cash or shares of our common stock,
or in a combination of both, at the election of the
administrator. SARs may be granted in connection with stock
options or other awards, or separately.
Restricted Stock. Restricted stock may be
issued at such price, if any, and may be made subject to such
restrictions (including time vesting or satisfaction of
performance goals), as may be determined by the administrator.
Restricted stock typically may be repurchased by us at the
original purchase price, if any, or forfeited, if the vesting
conditions and other restrictions are not met. In general,
restricted stock may not be sold, or otherwise hypothecated or
transferred until the vesting restrictions and other
restrictions applicable to such shares are removed or expire.
Recipients of restricted stock, unlike recipients of options or
restricted stock units, generally will have voting rights and
will receive dividends prior to the time when the restrictions
lapse.
Deferred Stock Awards. Deferred stock may not
be sold or otherwise hypothecated or transferred until issued.
Deferred stock will not be issued until the deferred stock award
has vested, and recipients of deferred stock generally will have
no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when the vesting
conditions are satisfied and the shares are issued. Deferred
stock awards generally will be forfeited, and the underlying
shares of deferred stock will not be issued, if the applicable
vesting conditions and other restrictions are not met.
Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units
entitle the holder to receive shares of our common stock,
subject to the removal of restrictions which may include
completion of the applicable vesting service period or the
attainment of pre-established performance goals. The issuance of
shares of our common stock pursuant to restricted stock units
may be deferred or delayed beyond the time at which the
restricted stock units vest in accordance with the terms of any
specific award. Restricted stock units may not be sold, or
otherwise hypothecated or transferred, and holders of restricted
stock units do not have voting rights. Restricted stock units
generally will be forfeited, and the underlying shares of stock
will not be issued, if the applicable vesting conditions and
other restrictions are not met.
Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents
represent the value of the dividends per share of our common
stock paid by us, if any, calculated with reference to a
specified number of shares. Dividend equivalent rights may be
granted alone or in connection with stock options, SARs or other
equity awards granted to the participant under the 2006 Plan.
Dividend equivalents may be paid in cash or shares of our common
stock, or in a combination of both, at the election of the
administrator.
Performance Awards. Performance awards may be
granted by the administrator to employees, consultants or
non-employee directors based upon, among other things, the
contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the
particular recipient. Generally, these awards will be based on
specific performance goals and may be paid in cash or in shares
of our common stock, or in a combination of both, at the
election of the administrator. Performance awards may include
“phantom” stock awards that provide for payments based
upon the value of our common stock. Performance awards may also
include bonuses granted by the administrator, which may be
payable in cash or in shares of our common stock, or in a
combination of both.
Stock Payments. Stock payments may be
authorized by the administrator in the form of our common stock
or an option or other right to purchase our common stock and
may, without limitation, be issued as part of a deferred
compensation arrangement in lieu of all or any part of
compensation — including, without limitation, salary,
bonuses, commissions and directors’ fees — that
would otherwise be payable in cash to the employee, non-employee
director or consultant.
Section 162(m) “Performance-Based”
Awards. The administrator may designate employees
as participants whose compensation for a given fiscal year may
be subject to the limit on deductible compensation imposed by
Section 162(m) of the Code. The administrator may grant to
such persons stock
options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units,
deferred stock, dividend equivalents, performance awards, cash
bonuses and stock payments that are paid, vest or become
exercisable upon the achievement of specified performance goals
which are related to one or more of the following performance
criteria, as applicable to us:
•
net earnings (either before or after interest, taxes,
depreciation
and/or
amortization);
•
gross or net sales or revenue;
•
net income (either before or after taxes);
•
operating earnings;
•
cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow
and free cash flow);
•
return on assets;
•
return on capital;
•
return on stockholders’ equity;
•
return on sales;
•
gross or net profit or operating margin;
•
working capital;
•
earnings per share; and
•
price per share of our common stock.
Performance goals established based on the performance criteria
may be measured either in absolute terms or as compared to any
incremental increase or decrease or as compared to the results
of a peer group. Achievement of each performance goal will be
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles to the extent applicable.
The maximum number of shares of our common stock which may be
subject to awards granted under the 2006 Plan to any individual
during any fiscal year, subject to adjustment in the event of
any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse
stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
split-up,
spin off or other transaction that affects the common stock in a
manner that would require adjustment to such limit in order to
prevent the dilution or enlargement of the potential benefits
intended to be made available under the 2006 Plan. In addition,
certain employees — those whose compensation in the
year of grant is, or in a future fiscal year may be, subject to
the limitation on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the
Code — may not receive cash-settled performance awards
in any fiscal year exceeding a specified maximum amount.
Automatic
Grants to Non-employee Directors
The 2006 Plan authorizes the grant of awards to our non-employee
directors, the terms and conditions of which are to be
determined by the administrator consistent with the 2006 Plan.
Each of our four independent directors was automatically granted
10,000 shares of restricted common stock upon the closing
of our 144A private equity offering in November 2006. The
restricted stock will vest in equal increments on each of
November 16, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Vesting
and Exercise of Awards
The applicable award agreement will contain the period during
which the right to exercise the award in whole or in part vests.
At any time after the grant of an award, the administrator may
accelerate the period during which such award vests, subject to
certain limitations. No portion of an award which is not vested
at a participant’s termination of employment, termination
of service on our board of directors, or termination of
consulting relationship will subsequently become vested, except
as may be otherwise provided by the administrator either in the
agreement relating to the award or by action following the grant
of the award.
Generally, an option or stock appreciation right may only be
exercised while such person remains our employee, director or
consultant, as applicable, or for a specified period of time (up
to the remainder of the award term) following the
participant’s termination of employment, directorship or
the consulting relationship, as applicable. An award may be
exercised for any vested portion of the shares subject to such
award until the award expires.
Full-value awards made under the 2006 Plan generally will be
subject to vesting over a period of not less than (i) three
years from the grant date of the award if it vests based solely
on employment or service with us, or (ii) one year
following the commencement of the performance period, for
full-value awards that vest based upon the attainment of
performance goals or other performance-based objectives.
However, an aggregate of up to 100,000 shares of our common
stock may be granted subject to full-value awards under the 2006
Plan without respect to such minimum vesting provisions.
Only whole shares of our common stock may be purchased or issued
pursuant to an award. Any required payment for the shares
subject to an award will be paid in the form of cash or a check
payable to us in the amount of the aggregate purchase price.
However, the administrator may in its discretion and subject to
applicable laws allow payment through one or more of the
following:
•
the delivery of certain shares of our common stock owned by the
participant;
•
the surrender of shares of our common stock which would
otherwise be issuable upon exercise or vesting of the award;
•
the delivery of property of any kind which constitutes good and
valuable consideration;
•
with respect to options, a sale and remittance procedure
pursuant to which the optionee will place a market sell order
with a broker with respect to the shares of our common stock
then issuable upon exercise of the option and the broker timely
pays a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to us
in satisfaction of the option exercise price for the purchased
shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes we are
required to withhold by reason of such exercise; or
•
any combination of the foregoing.
Transferability
of Awards
Awards generally may not be sold, pledged, assigned or
transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the
administrator of the 2006 Plan, pursuant to a domestic relations
order, unless and until such award has been exercised, or the
shares underlying such award have been issued, and all
restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, NQSOs may also be transferred
with the administrator’s consent to certain family members
and trusts. Awards may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
holder, only by the holder or such permitted transferee.
Adjustments
for Stock Splits, Recapitalizations, and Mergers
In the event of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock
split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger,
consolidation,
split-up,
spin off or other transaction that affects our common stock in a
manner that would require adjustment to such limit in order to
prevent the dilution or enlargement of the potential benefits
intended to be made available under the 2006 Plan, the
administrator of the 2006 Plan will appropriately adjust:
•
the number and kind of shares of our common stock (or other
securities or property) with respect to which awards may be
granted or awarded under the 2006 Plan;
•
the limitation on the maximum number and kind of shares that may
be subject to one or more awards granted to any one individual
during any fiscal year;
•
the number and kind of shares of our common stock (or other
securities or property) subject to outstanding awards under the
2006 Plan;
the number and kind of shares of our common stock (or other
securities or property) for which automatic grants are
subsequently to be made to new and continuing non-employee
directors; and
•
the grant or exercise price with respect to any outstanding
award.
Change in
Control
In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2006
Plan), each outstanding award will be assumed, or substituted
for an equivalent award, by the successor corporation. If the
award will terminate upon the Change in Control and the
successor corporation will provide for the assumption or
substitution of the awards, the awards shall become fully
exercisable prior to the immediate consummation of the
transaction constituting a Change in Control, and terminate upon
the Change in Control and the Administrator will provide holders
of awards with not less than fifteen days prior notice.
Administration
of the 2006 Plan
The Compensation Committee of our Board is the administrator of
the 2006 Plan unless the Board assumes authority for
administration. The Compensation Committee must consist of two
or more directors, each of whom is intended to qualify as both a
“non-employee director,” as defined in
Rule 16b-3
of the Exchange Act, and an “outside director” for
purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Compensation
Committee may delegate its authority to grant awards to persons
other than our officers, to a committee consisting of one or
more Compensation Committee members or officers. The
administrator has the power to:
•
select which directors, employees and consultants are to receive
awards and the terms of such awards, consistent with the 2006
Plan;
•
determine whether options are to be NQSOs or ISOs, or whether
awards are to qualify as “performance-based”
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code;
•
construe and interpret the terms of the 2006 Plan and awards
granted pursuant to the 2006 Plan;
•
adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and
application of the 2006 Plan;
•
interpret, amend or revoke any of the rules adopted for the
administration, interpretation and application of the 2006
Plan; and
•
amend one or more outstanding awards in a manner that does not
adversely affect the rights and obligations of the holder of
such award (except in certain limited circumstances).
Amendment
and Termination of the 2006 Plan
The administrator may amend the 2006 Plan at any time, subject
to stockholder approval to the extent required by applicable law
or regulation or the listing standards of any exchange on which
our common stock is traded (or any other market or stock
exchange on which our common stock is at the time primarily
traded). Additionally, stockholder approval will be specifically
required to decrease the exercise price of any outstanding
option or stock appreciation right granted under the 2006 Plan.
The administrator may terminate the 2006 Plan at any time.
However, in no event may an award be granted pursuant to the
2006 Plan on or after October 20, 2016.
In February 2007, we entered into a $25.0 million revolving
line of credit with LaSalle Bank, N.A. to replace its then
existing $10.0 million revolving line of credit with
LaSalle Bank, N.A. This new line of credit consists of
$10.0 million for use in property acquisitions and
$15.0 million for general corporate purposes and bears
interest at either prime rate or three-month LIBOR plus 1.50%,
at our option on each drawdown, and matures in February 2010. We
paid $100,000 in loan fees relating to this facility. There have
been no funds drawn on this line as of March 31, 2007.
Guarantees
of Debt
From time to time we provide certain guarantees of loans for
properties under management. As of December 31, 2006, there
were 107 loans for properties under management that were
guaranteed, with approximately $2.4 billion in total
principal outstanding secured by properties with a total
aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.4 billion.
Substantially all of the approximate $2.4 billion total
principal outstanding guaranteed was non-recourse/carve-out
guarantees, and of this amount, $26.4 million was in the
form of mezzanine debt and $28.7 million was other
full/partial recourse guarantees.
Subsequent to December 31, 2006, we guaranteed an
additional 14 loans for properties under management with
approximately $366.7 million in total principal outstanding
secured by properties with a total aggregate purchase price of
approximately $434.1 million at March 31, 2007. Of the
additional $366.7 million in total principal outstanding
guaranteed $26.0 million was in the form of mezzanine debt.
Notes Program
On August 1, 2006, our wholly owned subsidiary, NNN
Collateralized Senior Notes, LLC, began offering $50,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount of 8.75% Senior Notes due 2011.
Interest on the notes will be payable monthly in arrears on the
first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the
month occurring after issuance. The notes will mature five years
from the date of first issuance of any of such notes, with two
one-year options to extend the maturity date of the notes at NNN
Collateralized Senior Notes, LLC’s option. The interest
rate will increase to 9.25% per annum during any extension. NNN
Collateralized Senior Notes, LLC will have the right to redeem
the notes, in whole or in part, at: (1) 102.0% of their
principal amount plus accrued interest any time after
January 1, 2008; (2) 101.0% of their principal amount
plus accrued interest any time after July 1, 2008; and
(3) par value after January 1, 2009. The notes will be
NNN Collateralized Senior Notes, LLC’s senior obligations,
ranking pari passu in right of payment with all other
senior debt incurred and ranking senior to any subordinated debt
it may incur. The notes will be effectively subordinated to all
present or future debt secured by real or personal property to
the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.
The notes will be secured by a pledge of NNN Collateralized
Senior Notes, LLC’s membership interest in NNN
Series A Holdings, LLC, which is NNN Collateralized Senior
Notes, LLC’s wholly-owned subsidiary for the sole purpose
of making the investments. Each note will be guaranteed by
Triple Net Properties. The guarantee will be secured by a pledge
of Triple Net Properties’ membership interest in NNN
Collateralized Senior Notes, LLC. The notes program was closed
in January 2007. The amount raised from this program was
$16.3 million.
Our directors and certain of our executive officers receive
material financial and other benefits, as described below.
Anthony W. Thompson, our Chairman of the Board, has transferred
the following amounts of his common stock owned in Capital Corp.
to each of Louis J. Rogers, our director (25.0%) and to Kevin K.
Hull, the Chief Executive Officer and President of Capital Corp.
(25.0%). The transfers to Mr. Rogers were made as follows:
10.0% in November 2005, for a value of $84,000; 5.0% in August
2006, for a value of $169,000; and 10.0% in September 2006 for a
value of $337,000. The transfers to Mr. Hull were made as
follows: 5.0% in February 2006 for a value of $42,000; and 20.0%
in September 2006 for a value of $675,000. Because
Mr. Thompson was an affiliate of Capital Corp. at the time
of these transfers, these transfers resulted in compensation
charges to Capital Corp. In addition, we agreed to pay the
income taxes (including an associated
“gross-up”
payment to cover the tax on the tax payment) incurred by
Mr. Rogers ($400,000) and Mr. Hull (as to only
approximately one-half of such liability, or $191,000) in such
transactions.
Mr. Thompson has transferred 25.0% of his common stock
interest in Realty to Mr. Rogers as follows: 12.0% in
January 2005, for a value of $1.5 million; 4.0% in August
2005, for a value of $685,000; 4.0% in August 2006, for a value
of $1.1 million; and 5.0% in September 2006, for a value of
$1.4 million. Because Mr. Thompson was an affiliate of
Realty at the time of these transfers, these transfers resulted
in compensation charges to Realty. In addition, we agreed to pay
the income taxes (including an associated
gross-up
payment) aggregating $2.0 million, incurred by Mr. Rogers
in such transactions.
Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers have agreed to transfer up
to 15.0% of the common stock of Realty they own to Jeffrey T.
Hanson, our Chief Investment Officer, assuming he remains
employed by us in equal increments on July 29, 2007, 2008
and 2009. The transfers will be settled with 844,500 shares
of our common stock (633,375 from Mr. Thompson and 211,125
from Mr. Rogers). Because Mr. Thompson and
Mr. Rogers were affiliates of us at the time such transfers
were agreed to, we recognized a compensation charge.
Mr. Hanson is not entitled to any reimbursement for his tax
liability or any
gross-up
payment.
On September 20, 2006, Triple Net Properties awarded Scott
D. Peters, our Chief Executive Officer and President, a bonus of
$2.1 million, which was payable in 283,165 membership units
in Triple Net Properties, representing a 1.0% ownership for a
value of $1.3 million, and a cash tax
gross-up
payment of $853,668.
The law firm of Hirschler Fleischer represented us and certain
of our investor programs in various legal matters during the
last three years. Mr. Rogers, one of our directors from our
inception and the former President of Triple Net Properties, LLC
from September 2004 through April 4, 2007, also practiced
law with Hirschler Fleischer from 1987 to March 2007.
Mr. Rogers was a shareholder of Hirschler Fleischer from
1994 to December 31, 2004, and served as senior counsel in
that firm from January 2005 to March 2007. On March 19,2007, we learned that, in connection with his transition from
shareholder to senior counsel, Mr. Rogers and Hirschler
Fleischer entered into a transition agreement on
December 29, 2004.
The transition agreement provided, among other things, that
Mr. Rogers would receive a base salary from Hirschler
Fleischer as follows: $450,000 in 2005, $400,000 in 2006,
$300,000 in 2007, and $125,000 in 2008 and subsequent years.
Mr. Rogers’ receipt of the base salary was subject to
satisfaction of certain conditions, including that Triple Net
Properties, LLC and its affiliated companies, including us,
which we refer to as the NNN Group, remain a client of Hirschler
Fleischer and that collections by that firm from the NNN Group
equal at least $1.5 million per year. If the fees collected
by Hirschler Fleischer from the NNN Group were less than $1.5
million, Mr. Rogers’ base salary would be
proportionately reduced. Under the transition agreement,
Mr. Rogers was also entitled to receive a bonus from
Hirschler Fleischer on a quarterly basis, equal to a percentage,
declining from 5.0% to 1.0% during the term of the agreement, of
all collections by that firm from specified pre-2005 clients
(including the NNN Group) in excess of $3.0 million, as well as
a percentage of all collections by that firm from new clients
originated by Mr. Rogers, ranging from 6.0% to 3.0%
depending on the year originated.
For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the
NNN Group incurred legal fees to Hirschler Fleischer of
approximately $3.7 million, $3.3 million and
$2.7 million, respectively. Under the transition
agreement, Hirschler Fleischer paid Mr. Rogers
approximately $646,800 in base salary and bonus for 2006 and
approximately $719,000 in 2005. Mr. Rogers’ 2004
compensation from Hirschler Fleischer was based on his earnings
as a shareholder in the firm, and nothing was paid in connection
with the transition agreement in 2004. Mr. Rogers’
senior counsel position with Hirschler Fleischer terminated on
March 31, 2007, at which point Hirschler Fleischer had paid
Mr. Rogers $75,000 for his 2007 services. Mr. Rogers
will receive from Hirschler Fleischer an additional $450,000 in
2007 pursuant to a separation agreement in satisfaction of all
amounts owed to him under the transition agreement.
Before joining Realty, Mr. Hanson was employed with Grubb
and Ellis. Since July 2006, in connection with his employment
with Grubb and Ellis, Mr. Hanson was or will be paid
commissions relating to transactions involving properties
acquired or sold by our programs of approximately
$1.2 million.
G REIT, Inc., a public non-traded REIT we sponsored, has agreed
to pay Mr. Peters and Andrea R. Biller, our General
Counsel, Executive Vice President and Secretary, retention
bonuses in connection with its stockholder approved liquidation
of $50,000 and $25,000, respectively, upon the filing of each of
G REIT’s annual and quarterly reports with the SEC during
the period of the liquidation process. As of December 31,2006, Mr. Peters and Ms. Biller have received
retention bonuses of $200,000 and $100,000, respectively.
T REIT, Inc., a public non-traded REIT we sponsored, has paid
performance bonuses in connection with its stockholder approved
liquidation to Ms. Biller of $25,000 in August 2005 and
$35,000 in March 2006.
Each of Mr. Peters, Mr. Rogers and Ms. Biller
received an equity interest of 18.0% of NNN Apartment
Management, LLC, which owns a 25.0% equity interest in NNN
Apartment Advisor, LLC, the subsidiary we formed to advise and
manage NNN Apartment REIT, Inc., a public non-traded REIT we are
sponsoring. NNN Apartment Management, LLC has redeemed
Mr. Rogers’ membership interest in connection with the
termination of his employment with us.
Each of Mr. Peters, Ms. Biller and Mr. Hanson
received an equity interest of 18.0% of NNN Healthcare/Office
Management, LLC, which owns a 25.0% equity interest in NNN
Healthcare/Office Advisor, LLC, the subsidiary we formed to
advise and manage NNN Healthcare/Office REIT, Inc., a public
non-traded REIT we are sponsoring.
Mr. Thompson is entitled to receive up to $175,000 annually
in compensation from each of NNN Apartment Management, LLC and
NNN Healthcare/Office Management, LLC.
Our directors and officers, as well as officers, managers and
employees of our subsidiaries, have purchased, and may continue
to purchase, interests in offerings made by our programs at a
discount. The purchase price for these interests reflects the
fact that selling commissions and marketing allowances will not
be paid in connection with these sales. The net proceeds to us
from these sales made net of commissions will be substantially
the same as the net proceeds received from other sales.
Since our inception in 1998, Mr. Thompson has routinely
provided personal guarantees to various lending institutions
that provided financing for the acquisition of many properties
by our programs. These guarantees cover general payment
obligations, environmental and hazardous substance
indemnification and indemnification for any liability arising
from the SEC investigation of Triple Net Properties. In
connection with our formation transactions, we indemnified
Mr. Thompson for amounts he may be required to pay under
all of these guarantees to which Triple Net Properties, Realty
or Capital Corp. is an obligor to the extent such
indemnification would not require us to book additional
liabilities on our balance sheet.
Cunningham Lending Group LLC, a company that is wholly-owned by
Mr. Thompson, from time to time has made unsecured loans to
some of our programs. The loans are not negotiated at arm’s
length, are serviced by the cash flows from the programs and
bear interest at rates ranging from 8.0% to 12.0%.
Realty has made advances totaling $1,251,000 to Colony Canyon, a
property 20.0% owned by Mr. Thompson. The advances bear
interest at 10.0% per annum and are required to be repaid
within one year (although the repayments can and have been
extended from time to time).
In February 2005, we advanced approximately $91,000 to
Mr. Rogers in connection with his purchase of a home. This
loan was repaid in full in March 2006.
The following formation transactions were entered into in
connection with our 144A private equity offering in November
2006 and were not negotiated at arm’s length:
•
TNP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement and plan
of merger with Triple Net Properties, which was owned by
Mr. Thompson, Mr. Rogers and a number of other
employees and third-party investors. In connection with the
merger agreement, we entered into contribution agreements with
the holders of a majority of the common membership interests of
Triple Net Properties. Under the merger agreement and the
contribution agreements we issued 19,741,407 shares of our
common stock (to the accredited investor members) and $986,000
in cash (to the unaccredited investor members in lieu of 0.5% of
the shares of our common stock they would otherwise be entitled
to receive, which was valued at the $10.00 offering price to
investors in the 144A offering) in exchange for all the common
member interests. Concurrently with the closing of the 144A
offering on November 16, 2006, Triple Net Properties became
our wholly-owned subsidiary.
•
we entered into a contribution agreement with Mr. Thompson
and Mr. Rogers pursuant to which they contributed all of
the outstanding shares of Realty, to us in exchange for
4,686,500 shares of our common stock and, with respect to
Mr. Thompson, $9.4 million in cash in lieu of 22.3% of
shares of our common stock he would otherwise be entitled to
receive, which was valued at the $10.00 offering price to
investors in the 144A offering. Concurrently with the closing of
the 144A offering on November 16, 2006, Realty became our
wholly-owned subsidiary.
•
we entered into a contribution agreement with Mr. Thompson,
Mr. Rogers and Mr. Hull pursuant to which they
contributed all of the outstanding shares of Capital Corp. to us
in exchange for 1,323,500 shares of our common stock and,
with respect to Mr. Thompson, $2.7 million in cash in
lieu of 33.5% of shares of our common stock he would otherwise
be entitled to receive, which was valued at the $10.00 offering
price to investors in the 144A offering. Capital Corp. became
our wholly-owned subsidiary on December 14, 2006, following
receipt of NASD approval.
To the extent that we pay the SEC an amount in excess of
$1.0 million in connection with any settlement or other
resolution of this matter, Anthony W. Thompson, the founder and
our Chairman of the board of directors, has agreed to forfeit to
us 1,210,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with
this arrangement, we have entered into an escrow agreement with
Mr. Thompson and an independent escrow agent, pursuant to
which the escrow agent will hold 1,210,000 shares of our
common stock that were otherwise issuable to Mr. Thompson
in connection with our formation transactions to secure
Mr. Thompson’s obligations to us.
Mr. Thompson’s liability under this arrangement will
not exceed the shares in the escrow. We cannot assure you as to
the value of the shares at the time of any claim under this
agreement.
We are in the process of establishing policies and procedures
relating to related party transactions.
The following table presents information as of December 31,2006 known to us regarding the expected ownership of our common
stock following completion of this offering with respect to:
•
each selling stockholder;
•
each person who is known by us to own more than 5.0% of our
shares of common stock;
•
each named executive officer;
•
each of our directors; and
•
all directors and executive officers as a group.
The amounts and percentages of common stock beneficially owned
are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing
the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. The SEC
has defined “beneficial” ownership of a security to
mean the possession, including shared possession, directly or
indirectly, of voting power or investment power. A stockholder
is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of
all securities that the stockholder has the right to acquire
within 60 days after that date through (a) the
exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) the
conversion of a security, (c) the power to revoke a trust,
discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (d) the
automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or
similar arrangement. Under these rules, more than one person may
be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person
may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities as to which he
has no economic interest. Unless otherwise indicated, all shares
are owned directly and the indicated person has sole voting and
investment powers.
The percentages reflect beneficial ownership as determined under
Rule 13d-3
under the Securities Exchange Act and are based on
42,366,407 shares of common stock outstanding as of
December 31, 2006, including 615,000 shares of
restricted stock issued to our executive officers and directors.
In April 2007, 96,666 shares of restricted stock were
returned to us upon termination of employment of an executive.
The number of shares held by each stockholder includes the
shares of common stock underlying options held by such
stockholder that are exercisable by December 31, 2006, but
excludes the shares of our common stock underlying options held
by any other stockholder.

offering.
Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, we have the
authority to issue an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of
capital stock, consisting of 95,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
Selected provisions of our organizational documents are
summarized below. In addition, you should be aware that the
summary below does not describe or give full effect to the
provisions of statutory or common law which may affect your
rights as a stockholder.
Common
Stock
As of December 31, 2006, there were 42,366,407 shares
of our common stock outstanding, including 615,000 shares
of restricted common stock issued to our executive officers
(575,000 shares) and directors (40,000 shares) in
connection with our formation transactions. We initially
reserved 2,339,200 shares of our common stock for issuance
to our officers, non-employee directors, employees, and
consultants in the form of restricted stock or options to
purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our 2006
Long-term Incentive Plan. Of the reserved shares, we currently
have 821,200 shares of common stock, as restricted stock,
available for future issuance.
Voting rights. Each share of our common stock
is entitled to one vote in the election of directors and on all
other matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Our
stockholders may not cumulate their votes in the election of
directors.
Dividends, distributions and stock
splits. Holders of our common stock are entitled
to receive dividends if, as and when such dividends are declared
by our board of directors out of assets legally available
therefor after payment of dividends required to be paid on
shares of preferred stock, if any.
Liquidation. In the event of any dissolution,
liquidation, or winding up of our affairs, whether voluntary or
involuntary, after payment of our debts and other liabilities
and making provision for any holders of our preferred stock who
have a liquidation preference, our remaining assets will be
distributed ratably among the holders of common stock.
Fully paid. All the shares of our common stock
to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be fully
paid and nonassessable.
Other rights. Holders of our common stock have
no redemption or conversion rights and no preemptive or other
rights to subscribe for our securities.
Preferred
Stock
The board of directors has the authority to issue up to
5,000,000 shares of our preferred stock in one or more
series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates,
conversion rates, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption
prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares
constituting any series or the designation of that series, which
may be superior to those of our common stock, without further
vote or action by the stockholders. There will be no shares of
preferred stock outstanding upon the completion of this offering
and we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred
stock.
One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to
enable our board of directors to render it more difficult to or
to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a
tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and as a
result to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance
of shares of the preferred stock by our board of directors as
described above may adversely affect the rights of the holders
of common stock. For example, preferred stock issued by us may
rank prior to our common stock as to dividend rights,
liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting
rights, and may be convertible into shares of common stock.
Accordingly, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may
discourage bids for our common stock or may otherwise adversely
affect the market price of our common stock.
Liability
and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our certificate of incorporation contains certain provisions
permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to
the liability of our directors. These provisions eliminate a
director’s personal liability for monetary damages
resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty, except that a
director will be personally liable:
•
for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or
our stockholders;
•
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
relating to unlawful stock repurchases or dividends; or
•
for any transaction from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit.
These provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights or those
of any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief, such as an
injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a
director’s fiduciary duty. These provisions will not alter
a director’s liability under federal securities laws.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that we
must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law and advance expenses, as incurred, to
our directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, subject to very
limited exceptions.
We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with
our directors and executive officers that will, in some cases,
be broader than the specific indemnification provisions
contained in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or the
Delaware General Corporation Law.
The indemnification agreements require us, among other things,
to indemnify executive officers and directors against certain
liabilities, other than liabilities arising from willful
misconduct, that may arise by reason of their status or service
as directors or officers. We are also be required to advance
amounts to or on behalf of our officers and directors in the
event of claims or actions against them. We believe that these
indemnification arrangements are necessary to attract and retain
qualified individuals to serve as our directors and executive
officers.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law, Our Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Delaware
General Corporation Law contain certain provisions that could
discourage potential takeover attempts and make it more
difficult for our stockholders to change management or receive a
premium for their shares.
Delaware
Law
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, an anti-takeover provision. In general, the
provision prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from
engaging in a business combination with an “interested
stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of
the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder. A “business combination” includes a
merger, sale of 10.0% or more of our assets and certain other
transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the
stockholder. For purposes of Section 203, an
“interested stockholder” is defined to include any
person that is:
•
the owner of 15.0% or more of the outstanding voting stock of
the corporation;
•
an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner
of 15.0% or more of the voting stock outstanding of the
corporation, at any time within three years immediately prior to
the relevant date; or
•
an affiliate or associate of the persons described in the
foregoing bullet points.
However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply
if:
•
our board of directors approves the transaction that made the
stockholder an interested stockholder prior to the date of that
transaction;
•
after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the
stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder
owned at least 85.0% of our voting stock outstanding at the time
the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by our
officers and directors; or
•
on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business
combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized
at a meeting of our stockholders by an affirmative vote of at
least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by
the interested stockholder.
Our stockholders may, by adopting an amendment to the
corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, elect
for us not to be governed by Section 203, effective
12 months after adoption. Currently, neither our
certificate of incorporation nor our bylaws exempt us from the
restrictions imposed under Section 203. It is anticipated
that the provisions of Section 203 may encourage companies
interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our
board of directors.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that any
action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders may
only be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of
our stockholders and may not be taken by written consent of our
stockholders unless our board of directors approves the taking
of the action by written consent. If our board of directors
authorizes our stockholders to take action by written consent,
our stockholders may take action by written consent if the
consent is signed by stockholders having not less than the
minimum number of votes necessary to take the action. Special
meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our Chairman,
our chief executive officer or by a majority of our board of
directors.
Members of our board of directors may be removed with the
approval of the holders of a majority of the shares then
entitled to vote at an election of directors, with or without
cause. Vacancies and newly-created directorships resulting from
any increase in the number of directors may be filled by a
majority of our directors then in office, though less than a
quorum. If there are no directors in office, then an election of
directors may be held in the manner provided by law.
Future sales of significant amounts of our common stock,
including shares of our outstanding common stock and shares of
our common stock issued upon exercise of options, in the public
market after this offering could adversely affect the prevailing
market price of our common stock and could impair our future
ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity
securities.
As of March 31, 2007, there were 42,366,407 shares of
our common stock outstanding, including 615,000 shares of
restricted stock and excluding 903,000 stock options. Of these
shares, upon completion of this offering, a total
of shares
will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities
Act, unless purchased by our affiliates, as that term is defined
in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
The
remaining shares
of common stock are restricted securities as defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and are eligible for
public sale if registered under the Securities Act or sold in
accordance with Rules 144, 144(k) or 701 of the Securities
Act. Substantially all of these shares of common stock are held
by our executive officers and directors, who are subject to the
lock-up
agreements described below that prohibit them from selling,
subject to exceptions, shares of our common stock during the
lock-up
period described below without the prior written consent of
Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co., Inc. We are
registering
of these shares of common stock in this offering. Subject to the
expiration of the
lock-up
agreements,
these shares
of our common stock will be available for sale in the public
market after this offering.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, if one
year has elapsed since the date of acquisition of restricted
shares from us or any of our affiliates and we have been a
public reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least
90 days, the holder of such restricted shares can sell such
shares, subject to contractual restrictions, provided that the
number of shares sold by such person within any three-month
period cannot exceed the greater of:
•
1.0% of the total number of shares of our common stock then
outstanding, or
•
the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the
four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the
sale is filed with the SEC.
Sales under Rule 144 also are subject to certain manner of
sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of
current public information about us (which will require us to
file periodic reports under the Exchange Act). We cannot assure
you that we will file such reports. If two years have elapsed
since the date of acquisition of restricted shares from us or
any of our affiliates and the holder is not one of our
affiliates at any time during the three months preceding the
proposed sale, such person can sell such shares in the public
market under Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume
limitations, manner of sale provisions, public information
requirements or notice requirements.
No assurance can be given as to (i) the likelihood that an
active market for our common stock will develop, (ii) the
liquidity of any such market, (iii) the ability of the
stockholder to sell the securities or (iv) the prices that
stockholders may obtain for any of the securities. No prediction
can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
shares, or the availability of shares for future sale, will have
on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of
substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that such
sales could occur, may affect adversely prevailing market prices
of our common stock. See “Risk Factors — Risks
Relating to the Offering and Our Common Stock.”
Rule 701
Rule 701 generally allows a stockholder who purchased
shares of our common stock prior
to
pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is
not deemed to have been our affiliate during the immediately
preceding 90 days to sell these shares in reliance upon
Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the
public information, holding period, volume limitation or notice
provisions of Rule 144.
Rule 701 also permits affiliates of our company to sell
their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without
complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144.
As of March 31, 2007, no shares of our outstanding common
stock had been issued in reliance on Rule 701 as a result
of exercises of stock options, and shares of our outstanding
common stock had been issued in reliance on Rule 701 as a
result of the vesting of restricted stock.
Stock
Options
As of March 31, 2007, options to purchase a total of
896,600 shares of common stock were outstanding under our
2006 Plan, 68,333 of which were then exercisable, and an
aggregate of 821,200 additional shares of common stock were
reserved and available for future award as restricted stock
under our 2006 Plan. We intend to file a
Form S-8
registration statement under the Securities Act to register all
shares of common stock currently reserved for issuance under our
2006 Plan.
Registration
Rights
The holders
of shares
of our common stock have certain rights with respect to the
registration of such shares, or registrable securities, under
the Securities Act. We are filing this registration statement to
satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement.
Under the agreement, we are generally obligated to bear the
expenses, other than underwriting discounts and sales
commissions, of this registration.
Lock-up
Agreements
In connection with our 144A private equity offering, effective
November 16, 2006, our Chairman of the board and largest
stockholder and our other directors, members of management and
certain other beneficial owners of our common stock agreed to be
restricted in their ability to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose
of or transfer their shares of our common stock as follows:
•
Mr. Thompson’s
lock-up
period will continue until two years after the earlier of
(x) the date a registration statement for the initial
public offering of shares of our common stock is declared
effective by the SEC, or (y) the date this registration
statement is declared effective by the SEC.
•
Mr. Hull’s
lock-up
period will continue with respect to 25% of his shares until the
earlier of 180 days, with respect to an additional 25% of
his shares until the earlier of twelve months and with respect
to the remaining 50% of his shares until the earlier of two
years after (x) the date a registration statement for the
initial public offering of shares of our common stock is
declared effective by the SEC, or (y) the date this
registration statement is declared effective by the SEC.
•
The lock-up
period for each of our other directors and Messrs. Peters,
Rogers, Hanson, Ms. Biller, Ms. LaPoint, Coastal
American Corp. and Union Land & Management Company,
and Messrs. Hutton and Maurer and Ms. Voorhies (with
respect to 50% of their stock only), will continue until
90 days after the date this registration statement is
declared effective by the SEC, provided that, if prior to the
end of such 90 day period, the SEC declares effective a
registration statement for the initial public offering of shares
of our common stock, the
lock-up
period shall continue until the later of the 90 day period
or 180 days after the effective date of the registration
statement.
The lock-up
period described above is subject to extension such that, in the
event that either (1) during the last 17 days of the
restricted period, we issue an earnings release or material news
or a material event relating to us occurs, or (2) prior to
the expiration of the
lock-up
period, we announce that we will release earnings results during
the 16-day
period following the last day of the
lock-up
period, the
“lock-up”
restrictions described above will continue to apply until the
expiration of the
18-day
period beginning on the date of the issuance of the earnings
release or the occurrence of the material news or material
event, unless such extension is waived.
Notwithstanding the
lock-up
period restrictions, Mr. Thompson and our other executive
officers and directors may transfer their shares of our common
stock: (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the
donees agree to be bound by the same restrictions; (ii) to
any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the
stockholder or the immediate family of the stockholder, provided
that the trustee agrees to be bound by the same restrictions;
(iii) as required under any of our benefit plans or our
charter or bylaws; (iv) as collateral for any bona fide
loan from a bank, provided that the lender agrees to be bound by
the same restrictions; (v) with respect to sales of
securities acquired in the open market after the completion of
this offering, other than securities acquired from the Company
or securities subject to restrictions similar to those set forth
herein; or (vi) to an executor or heir in the event of the
death of the stockholder, provided that the executor or heir
agrees to be bound by the same restrictions. In addition,
Messrs. Peters, Rogers, Hanson and Hull and Ms. Biller
and Ms. LaPoint may transfer their shares of our common
stock to the extent necessary to pay any federal income tax and
withholding obligations arising from the vesting of shares of
restricted stock awarded to them in 2006 under our stock
incentive plan.
The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal
income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership
and disposition of our common stock applicable to
“non-U.S. holders”
as we define that term below. This summary is based upon the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder,
administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the
date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly
retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax
consequences different from those set forth below. We have not
sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect
to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the
following summary, and there can be no assurance that the
Internal Revenue Service will agree with such statements and
conclusions.
The term
“non-U.S. holder”
means a beneficial owner of our common stock that, for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not a partnership or
any of the following:
•
an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
•
a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in
the United States or under the laws of the United States, any
state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
•
an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal
income taxation regardless of its source; or
•
a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a
U.S. court and the control of one or more
“U.S. persons” within the meaning of the Code or
(2) has a valid election in effect under applicable
Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
This summary is limited to holders who hold our common stock as
a capital asset. This summary also does not address the tax
considerations arising under the laws of any foreign, state or
local jurisdiction. In addition, this discussion does not
address tax considerations applicable to an investor’s
particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to
special tax rules, including, without limitation:
•
banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions;
•
tax-exempt organizations;
•
dealers in securities or currencies;
•
traders in securities that elect to use a
mark-to-market
method of accounting for their securities holdings;
•
foreign persons or entities, except to the extent specifically
set forth below;
•
partnerships or other pass-through entities;
•
persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than 5.0% of our
company, except to the extent specifically set forth below;
•
certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United
States;
•
persons who acquire shares of our common stock as compensation
or in exchange for property other than cash;
•
persons who hold shares of our common stock as a position in a
hedging transaction, straddle, conversion transaction or other
risk reduction transaction; or
•
persons deemed to sell shares of our common stock under the
constructive sale provisions of the Code.
You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the
application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your
particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the
purchase, ownership and
disposition of our common stockarising under the
federal estate or gift tax laws or under the laws of any state,
local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction or under any
applicable tax treaty.
Distributions on Common Stock. If we make cash
or other property distributions on our common stock, such
distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal
income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or
accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under
U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess
of our earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital
that will first be applied against and reduce the
non-U.S. holder’s
adjusted tax basis in our common stock, but not below zero. Any
remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or
other disposition of shares of our common stock and will be
treated as described under “— Disposition of
Common Stock” below.
Dividends paid to a
non-U.S. holder
that are not effectively connected with the
non-U.S. holder’s
conduct of a trade or business in the United States will
generally be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income
tax at the rate of 30.0%, or if a tax treaty applies, a lower
rate specified by the treaty.
Non-U.S. holders
should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to
benefits under a relevant income tax treaty.
Dividends that are effectively connected with a
non-U.S. holder’s
conduct of a trade or business in the United States and, if an
income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent
establishment in the United States, are taxed on a net income
basis at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax
rates in much the same manner as if the
non-U.S. holder
was a U.S. person. In such cases, we will not be required
to withhold U.S. federal income tax if the
non-U.S. holder
complies with applicable certification requirements. In
addition, if the
non-U.S. holder
is a corporation, a “branch profits tax” equal to
30.0% (or lower applicable treaty rate) may be imposed on a
portion of its effectively connected earnings and profits for
the taxable year.
Non-U.S. holders
should consult their tax advisor regarding applicable tax
treaties that may provide for different rules.
To claim the benefit of a tax treaty or an exemption from
withholding because the dividends are effectively connected with
the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, a
non-U.S. holder
must either (a) provide a properly executed IRS
Form W-8BEN
or
Form W-8ECI
(as applicable) before the payment of dividends or (b) if
our common stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries,
satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable
U.S. Treasury regulations. These forms must be periodically
updated.
Non-U.S. holders
may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely
filing an appropriate claim for refund.
Disposition of Common Stock. A
non-U.S. holder
generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or
any withholding thereof with respect to gain recognized on a
sale or other disposition of our common stock unless one of the
following applies:
•
the gain is effectively connected with the
non-U.S. holder’s
conduct of a trade or business in the United States and, if an
income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent
establishment maintained by the
non-U.S. holder
in the United States;
•
the
non-U.S. holder
is an individual who is present in the United States for
183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and
meets certain other requirements; or
•
our common stock constitutes a “United States real property
interest” by reason of our status as a “United States
real property holding corporation,” or a USRPHC, for
U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the
shorter of the
5-year
period ending on the date the
non-U.S. holder
disposes of our common stock or the period the
non-U.S. holder
held our common stock (referred to below as the applicable
period).
Non-U.S. holders
described in the first bullet point above generally will be
taxed on the net gain derived from the disposition at the
regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in much the
same manner as U.S. persons and, if the
non-U.S. holder
is a foreign corporation, the “branch profits tax”
described above may also apply. An individual
non-U.S. holder
described in the second bullet point above will be subject to
U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30.0% (or a reduced
rate under an applicable treaty) on the amount by
which capital gains (including gain recognized on a sale or
other disposition of our common stock) allocable to
U.S. sources exceed capital losses allocable to
U.S. sources.
We will be a USRPHC if the fair market value of the United
States real property interests we own equals or exceeds 50.0% of
the fair market value of our United States real property
interests, our interests in real property located outside of the
United States, plus any other assets we use or hold for use in a
trade or business. We believe that we are currently not a
USRPHC. However, there is no assurance that our determination is
correct or that we will not become a USRPHC in the future as a
result of a change in our assets or operations. Even if we later
become a USRPHC, if at such time our common stock is
“regularly traded on an established securities market”
within the meaning of Section 897(c)(3) of the Code, such
common stock will be treated as a United States real property
interest with respect to a
non-U.S. holder
only if the
non-U.S. holders
owns directly or indirectly more than 5.0% of such stock at any
time during the applicable period. While our common stock has
not been “regularly traded on an established securities
market,” it is expected to be traded in this manner after
this registration statement is declared effective. If we are or
become a USRPHC, and a
non-U.S. holder
owned directly or indirectly more than 5.0% of our common stock
at any time during the applicable period, or our common stock
were not considered to be “regularly traded on an
established securities market,” then any gain recognized by
a
non-U.S. holder
on the sale or other disposition of our common stock would be
treated as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or
business (except for purposes of the branch profits tax) and
would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular
graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in much the same
manner as if the
non-U.S. holder
were a U.S. person. In addition, if we are or become a
USRPHC, and our common stock is not “regularly traded on an
established securities market,” the
non-U.S. holder
would be subject to 10.0% withholding on the gross proceeds
realized with respect to the sale or other disposition of our
common stock and any amount withheld in excess of the tax owed
as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence may be
refundable if the required information is timely furnished to
the Internal Revenue Service.
Backup Withholding and Information
Reporting. In general,
non-U.S. holders
will not be subject to backup withholding and information
reporting with respect to payments that we make to them,
provided that we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know
that a
non-U.S. holder
is a U.S. person and each
non-U.S. holder
has given us an appropriate statement certifying, under
penalties of perjury, that the
non-U.S. holder
is not a U.S. person. In addition,
non-U.S. holders
will not be subject to backup withholding or information
reporting with respect to the proceeds of the sale of a share of
common stock within the U.S. or conducted through certain
U.S.-related
financial intermediaries, if the payor receives the statement
described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to
know that the
non-U.S. holder
is a U.S. person, as defined under the Internal Revenue
Code, or the
non-U.S. holder
otherwise establishes an exemption. We may be required to report
annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to
non-U.S. holders
the amount of, and the tax withheld with respect to, any
dividends paid to
non-U.S. holders,
regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. Copies of
these information returns may also be made available under the
provisions of a specific treaty or agreement to the tax
authorities of the country in which the
non-U.S. holder
resides.
A
non-U.S. holder
generally will be entitled to credit any amounts withheld under
the backup withholding rules against the
non-U.S. holder’s
U.S. federal income tax liability provided that the
required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service in a timely manner.
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all
of their respective shares of common stock on any stock
exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are
traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed
or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders will act
independently of us in making decisions regarding the timing,
manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may use
any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
•
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
•
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
•
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
•
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange;
•
privately negotiated transactions;
•
settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this
prospectus;
•
agreements with broker-dealers to sell a specified number of
such shares at a stipulated price per share;
•
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging
transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
•
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
•
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under
Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if
available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange
for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.
Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the
selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for
the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these
commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the
types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of
shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as a principal
might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions
under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions
and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale
of shares will be borne by the selling stockholders. The selling
stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or
broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales
of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under
the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a
security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock
owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their
secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer
and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this
prospectus after we have filed an amendment or supplement to
this prospectus under Rule 424(b), if required, or under
other applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, amending the list of
selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other
successors in interest as selling stockholders under this
prospectus.
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common
stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees,
donees, or other successors in interest will be the selling
beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell
the shares of common stock from time to time under this
prospectus after we have filed an amendment or supplement to
this prospectus under Rule 424(b), if required, or under
other applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, amending the
list of selling stockholders to include the transferee, donee or
other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this
prospectus.
The selling stockholders, and any broker-dealers or agents that
are involved in selling the shares of common stock, may be
deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the
Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by
them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration and distribution of the shares of common stock,
other than underwriting discounts and commissions. We estimate
these fees and expenses will be approximately
$ .
The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not
entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with
any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their
shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or
coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of
shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. If we are
notified by the selling stockholders that any material
arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the
sale of shares of common stock, we will, if required, file a
supplement to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use
this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they
will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common
stock and activities of the selling stockholders.

We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement on
Form S-1
(including the exhibits, schedules and amendments thereto) under
the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares of common
stock to be sold in this offering. This prospectus, which

contain all the information set forth in the registration
statement or the exhibits and schedules filed therewith. For
further information regarding us and the shares of common stock
to be sold in this offering, please refer to the registration
statement. Statements contained in this prospectus regarding the
contents of any contract or any other document that is filed as
an exhibit to the registration statement are not necessarily
complete, and each such statement is qualified in all respects
by reference to the full text of such contract or other document
filed as an exhibit to the registration statement.
You may read and copy all or any portion of the registration
statement or any other information that we file at the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s public reference room
at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C.
20549. You can request copies of these documents, upon payment
of a duplicating fee, by writing to the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Please call the Securities and Exchange Commission
at

for further information on the operation of the public reference
room. Our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including
the registration statement, are also available to you on the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s website. The address

As a result of this offering, we will become subject to the
information and reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and, in accordance therewith, will file
periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, members’
and stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in
the Index at Item 16. These financial statements and
financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NNN
Realty Advisors, Inc and subsidiaries as of December 31,2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our
opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as
a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information
set forth therein.
NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. was organized as a corporation in the
State of Delaware in September 2006 and was formed to acquire
each of Triple Net Properties, LLC and its subsidiaries, Triple
Net Properties Realty, Inc. (“Realty”) and NNN Capital
Corp. (“Capital Corp.”) and its other subsidiaries
(collectively, the “Company”), to bring the businesses
conducted by those companies under one corporate umbrella and to
facilitate an offering pursuant to Rule 144A of the
Securities Act (“the 144A offering”), which
transactions are collectively referred to as “the formation
transactions”. On November 16, 2006, the Company
completed a $160.0 million private placement of common
stock to institutional investors and certain accredited
investors with 16 million shares of its common stock sold
in the offering at $10.00 per share, which represent 37.8%
of the Company’s common stock outstanding at
December 31, 2006.
Concurrently with the close of the 144A offering, the following
transactions occurred:
•
TNP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an
agreement and plan of merger with Triple Net Properties, a
Virginia limited liability company owned by Anthony W. Thompson
(Chairman of the Board), Scott D. Peters (executive officer and
director), Louis J. Rogers (director and former executive
officer of Triple Net Properties) and a number of other
employees and third-party investors. In connection with the
merger agreement, the Company entered into contribution
agreements with the holders of a majority of the common
membership interests of Triple Net Properties. Under the merger
agreement and the contribution agreements, the Company issued
19,741,407 shares of common stock (to the accredited
investor members) and $986,000 in cash (to the unaccredited
investor members in lieu of 0.5% of the shares of the
Company’s common stock they would otherwise be entitled to
receive, which was valued at the $10.00 offering price to
investors in the 144A offering) in exchange for all the common
member interests. Concurrently with the closing of the 144A
offering on November 16, 2006, Triple Net Properties became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. For accounting
purposes, Triple Net Properties was considered the acquirer of
Realty and Capital Corp.
•
The Company entered into a contribution agreement with
Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers pursuant to which they
contributed all of the outstanding shares of Realty, a
California corporation, to the Company in exchange for
4,686,500 shares of the Company’s common stock and,
with respect to Mr. Thompson, $9.4 million in cash in
lieu of the shares of the Company he would otherwise be entitled
to receive, which was valued at the $10.00 offering price to
investors in the 144A offering. Concurrently with the closing of
the 144A offering on November 16, 2006, Realty became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
•
The Company entered into a contribution agreement with
Mr. Thompson, Mr. Rogers and Kevin K. Hull pursuant to
which they contributed all of the outstanding shares of Capital
Corp. to the Company in exchange for 1,323,500 shares of
the Company’s common stock and, with respect to
Mr. Thompson, $2.7 million in cash in lieu of the
shares of the Company he would otherwise be entitled to receive,
which was valued at the $10.00 offering price to investors in
the 144A offering. Capital Corp. became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company on December 14, 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, Mr. Thompson, the
Company’s Chairman, owned directly and indirectly 25.9% of
the common stock, a controlling interest, of the Company and the
Company’s directors and other executive officers
collectively directly and indirectly owned an additional 8.5% of
the Company’s common stock.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company is authorized to issue
95,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares
of preferred stock with preferences and rights as determined by
the board of directors. As of December 31, 2006, there were
42,366,407 common shares outstanding, including
615,000 shares of restricted stock issued to directors and
executive officers of the Company.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The Company specializes in syndicating real estate properties to
third-party investors seeking replacement property in
transactions that qualify as tax-deferred exchanges under
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company also
manages the operations of the real estate properties owned by
the syndicated real estate programs it sponsors and affiliated
real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and limited
liability companies (“LLCs”) that invest in real
estate it advises. Transactions are generally structured as
three-way
exchanges and include a qualified intermediary, typically a
title company or an escrow agent, which result in the Company
earning various fees. Investors typically acquire tenant in
common interests and are allocated all costs incurred in the
syndication, including, but not limited to, acquisition costs,
financing costs, and syndication costs, which may include
selling commissions, due diligence fees, and marketing fees.
Syndication activities and real estate brokerage services are
performed by Capital Corp. and Realty, respectively.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company also serves as an
advisor and manager to four publicly registered, non-traded
REITs, one private REIT, and two publicly registered,
non-traded, Value Funds, as well as an advisor and manager of
syndicated real estate limited partnerships, LLCs and similar
real estate entities.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation — The consolidated
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”). The following is a summary of significant
principles used in the preparation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Consolidation — The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of NNN Realty
Advisors, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority-owned
controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities
(“VIEs”) in which NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. is the
primary beneficiary (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For
acquisitions of an interest in an entity or newly formed joint
venture or limited liability company, the Company evaluates the
entity to determine if the entity is deemed a VIE, and if the
Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities (“FIN No. 46(R)”).
The Company consolidates the entities that are VIEs when the
Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. For
entities in which (i) the Company is not deemed to be the
primary beneficiary, (ii) the Company’s ownership is
50.0% or less and (iii) the Company has the ability to
exercise significant influence, the Company uses the equity
accounting method (i.e. at cost, increased or decreased by the
Company’s share of earnings or losses, plus contributions
less distributions). The Company also uses the equity accounting
method for jointly-controlled tenant in common interests. As
events occur, the Company will reconsider its determination of
whether an entity is a VIE and who the primary beneficiary is to
determine if there is a change in the original determinations.
Triple Net Properties, which is wholly owned by the Company,
owns a 50.0% managing member interest in NNN Apartment REIT
Advisor, LLC (“Apartment Advisor”). NNN Apartment
Management, LLC owns a 25.0% non-managing member interest in
Triple Net Properties’ Apartment Advisor. Triple Net
Properties is the primary beneficiary with the majority voting
interest in Apartment Advisor; therefore, in accordance with
FIN No. 46(R), the Apartment Advisor was consolidated
in the Company’s financial statements in 2006.
ROC REIT Advisors, LLC owns a 25.0% non-managing member interest
in Apartment Advisor. The members of ROC REIT Advisors, LLC are
Stanley J. Olander, Jr., the Apartment Advisor’s Chief
Executive Officer; Gus G. Remppies, the Apartment Advisor’s
Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer; and David
L. Carneal, the Apartment Advisor’s Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer. Each of
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Mr. Olander, Mr. Remppies and Mr. Carneal own
33.3% membership interest in ROC REIT Advisors, LLC. The grants
of these membership interests to ROC REIT Advisors, LLC are
being accounted for as stock based compensation awards. The
awards vest over a service period of approximately three years
from the date of grant. The estimated fair value of the award at
the grant date was $550,000 and for the year ended
December 31, 2006the Company incurred $71,000 in
compensation expense related to these awards.
Triple Net Properties, which is wholly owned by the Company,
owns a 75.0% managing member interest in NNN Healthcare/Office
REIT Advisor, LLC (“HCO Advisor”). NNN
Healthcare/Office Management, LLC owns a 25.0% non-managing
member interest in HCO Advisor. Triple Net Properties is the
primary beneficiary with the majority voting interest in HCO
Advisor; therefore, in accordance with FIN No. 46(R),
HCO Advisor was consolidated in the Company’s financial
statements in 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, other significant wholly-owned
subsidiaries included: (1) 1600 Parkwood, a Class A
commercial office building in Atlanta, Georgia, which was
purchased in December 2006 for future placement into one of our
sponsored programs; (2) Southpointe Office Parke, a medical
office building in Indiana purchased in August 2006, which was
placed into the Company’s sponsored NNN Healthcare/Office
REIT, Inc. in the first quarter of 2007, and;
(3) Crawfordsville Medical Office Park, a medical office
building in Indiana purchased in September 2006, which was
placed into the Company’s sponsored NNN Healthcare/Office
REIT, Inc. in the first quarter of 2007.
Cunningham Lending Group, LLC (“CLG”), a company that
is wholly owned by the Company’s Chairman, has made loans
from time to time to certain of the Company’s programs. In
accordance with FIN No. 46R, the Company consolidated
CLG in our financial statements beginning in 2005 as required
for private companies.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents — Cash and cash
equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased. Short-term
investments with remaining maturities of three months or less
when acquired are considered cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash/Reserves — Restricted
cash/reserves are comprised of loan impound reserve accounts for
property taxes, insurance, capital improvements, and tenant
improvements. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the
restricted cash/reserves were $4.0 million and $1.2 million,
respectively.
Accounts Receivable from Related Parties —
Accounts receivable from related parties consist of fees earned
from syndicated entities and properties under management,
including property and asset management fees. Property and asset
management fees are collected from the operations of the
underlying real estate properties.
Allowance for Uncollectible Receivables —
Receivables are carried net of management’s estimate of
uncollectible receivables. Management’s determination of
the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon
evaluations of historical loss experience, individual
receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant
factors.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities —
Investments in unconsolidated entities consist of
(i) common stock held (less than 1.0% ownership) in
affiliated REITs and (ii) investments in unconsolidated
real estate, including LLC interests and tenant in common
interests. The Company uses the equity method to account for
these investments, as the Company exercises significant
influence over financial and operating activities of these
entities (See Note 5).
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Real Estate Deposits and Preacquisition Costs —
Real estate deposits and preacquisition costs are incurred when
the Company evaluates properties for purchase and syndication.
Preacquisition costs are capitalized as incurred. Real estate
deposits may become nonrefundable under certain circumstances.
The majority of the real estate deposits outstanding as of
December 31, 2006, were either refunded to the Company
during 2007 or used to purchase property and subsequently
reimbursed from syndicated equity. Costs of abandoned projects
represent preacquisition costs associated with properties no
longer sought for acquisition by the Company and are included in
general and administrative expense in the Company’s
consolidated statement of operations.
Purchase Price Allocation — In accordance with
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, with the
assistance of independent valuation specialists, the purchase
price of acquired properties is allocated to tangible and
identified intangible assets and liabilities based on their
respective fair values. The allocation to tangible assets
(building and land) is based upon determination of the value of
the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow
models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors
considered include an estimate of carrying costs during the
expected
lease-up
periods considering current market conditions and costs to
execute similar leases. Additionally, the purchase price of the
applicable property is allocated to the above or below market
value of in-place leases and the value of in-place leases and
related tenant relationships (See Note 11).
The value allocable to the above or below market component of
the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the
present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks
associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between
(i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the
lease over its remaining term, and (ii) our estimate of the
amounts that would be paid using fair market rates over the
remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above
market leases are included in identified intangible
assets — net and below market lease values are
included in liabilities of properties held for
sale — net in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements and are amortized to rental revenue over
the weighted-average remaining term of the acquired leases with
each property.
The total amount of identified intangible assets acquired is
further allocated to in-place lease costs and the value of
tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of
the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our
overall relationship with that respective tenant.
Characteristics considered in allocating these values include
the nature and extent of the credit quality and expectations of
lease renewals, among other factors. These allocations are
subject to change within one year of the date of purchase based
on information related to one or more events identified at the
date of purchase that confirm the value of an asset or liability
of an acquired property.
Property Held for Investment — Properties held
for investment are carried at the lower of historical cost less
accumulated depreciation or fair value. The cost of these
properties include the cost of land, completed buildings, and
related improvements. Expenditures that increase the service
life of properties are capitalized; the cost of maintenance and
repairs is charged to expense as incurred. The cost of buildings
and improvements is depreciated on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements,
ranging primarily from 15 to 39 years, and the shorter of
the lease term or useful life, ranging from one to ten years for
tenant improvements. When depreciable property is retired or
disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in
operations.
Property Held for Sale — In accordance with
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment of Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”),
at such time as a property is held for sale, such property is
carried at the lower of (i) its carrying amount or
(ii) fair value less costs to sell. In addition, a property
being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. The Company
classifies operating properties as property held for sale in the
period in which all of the following criteria are met:
•
management, having the authority to approve the action, commits
to a plan to sell the asset;
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
•
the asset is available for immediate sale in its present
condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for
sales of such assets;
•
an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required
to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated;
•
the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset
is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale
within one year;
•
the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is
reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and
•
given the actions required to complete the plan, it is unlikely
that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the
plan will be withdrawn.
SFAS No. 144, addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets
and requires that, in a period in which a component of an entity
either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale,
the income statements for current and prior periods shall report
the results of operations of the component as discontinued
operations.
Property and Equipment and Leasehold
Improvements — Property and equipment are stated
at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements
are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
related lease or the estimated service life of the improvements,
whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as
incurred, while betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or
retirement of depreciable assets, the related accounts are
relieved, with any resulting gain or loss included in operations.
Revenue
Recognition
Transaction Services Revenue — The Company
earns fees associated with structuring, negotiating, and closing
syndications of real estate properties to third-party investors.
Such fees include acquisition and disposition fees. Acquisition
and disposition fees are earned and recognized when the
syndication is closed. Organizational Marketing Expense
Allowance (“OMEA”) fees are earned and recognized from
gross proceeds of equity raised in connection with these
syndications and are used to pay formation costs, as well as
organizational and marketing costs.
Management Services Revenue — The Company earns
asset and property management fees primarily for managing the
operations of real estate properties owned by the syndicated
real estate programs, REITs and Value Funds it sponsors. Such
fees are based on preestablished formulas and contractual
arrangements and are earned as such services are performed. The
Company is entitled to receive reimbursement for expenses
associated with managing the properties; these expenses include
salaries for property managers and other personnel providing
services to the property. Each property of our TIC programs is
charged an accounting fee for costs associated with preparing
financial reports.
The Company is entitled to leasing commissions when a new tenant
is secured and upon tenant renewals. Leasing commissions are
recognized upon execution of leases. The Company is entitled to
loan advisory fees for arranging financing related to properties
under management. Such fees are collected and recognized upon
the closing of such loans.
The Company is entitled to advisory fees for services performed
as the advisor to four REITs and two Value Funds pursuant to
advisory agreements. No advisory fees were earned from the REITs
in 2006, 2005 and 2004.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Interest Income — The Company makes advances to
affiliated real estate programs under management in accordance
with the terms stated in the applicable private placement
memorandum for that program. These advances are made in the
ordinary course of business and may include advances to acquire
the property, pay operating expenses or for any other general
business purpose. The advances are uncollateralized, have
payment terms of one year or less, and generally bear interest
of 8.0% to 12.0% per annum.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments —
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments (“SFAS No. 107”),
requires disclosure of fair value of financial instruments,
whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for
which it is practical to estimate that value.
SFAS No. 107 defines fair value as the quoted market
prices for those instruments that are actively traded in
financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are estimated using present value or
other valuation techniques. The fair value estimates are made at
the end of each year based on available market information and
judgments about the financial instrument, such as estimates of
timing and amount of expected future cash flows. Such estimates
do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings
of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider that
tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In
many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by
comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value
be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.
The Company believes that the December 31, 2006 and 2005
interest rates associated with notes payable, participating
notes and lines of credit approximate market interest rates for
similar types of debt instruments. As such, the carrying values
of the Company’s notes payable and lines of credit
approximate their fair values. The Company’s receivables
and payables carrying value approximate fair value due to their
short-term nature.
Stock-Based Compensation — In December 2004,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 — Revised,
Share Based Payment,
(“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R
requires the measurement of compensation cost at the grant date,
based upon the estimated fair value of the award, and requires
amortization of the related expense over the employee’s
requisite service period. Effective January 1, 2006, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 123R. See Note 25 for
additional information on our stock-based compensation plans.
Earnings per share — Basic earnings per share
is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. The
computation of diluted earnings per share further assumes the
dilutive effect of stock options, stock warrants and
contingently issuable shares. Contingently issuable shares
represent non-vested stock awards and unvested stock fund units
in the deferred compensation plan. In accordance with
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, these shares
are included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation
under the treasury stock method (see Note 23).
Pro Forma Net Income per share (unaudited) —
Pro Forma net income reflects the income tax expense that would
have been reported by the Company had it been subject to income
taxes at the corporate level during all periods presented. Pro
forma earnings per share is computed by dividing the pro forma
net income available to common stockholders for the period by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period
(See Note 26).
Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to a
concentration of credit risk are primarily uninsured
cash-in-bank
balances and accounts receivable. The Company currently
maintains substantially all of its cash with several major
financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess
of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, all of the Company’s
accrued fees and accounts receivable were from affiliated and
related parties and are included in accounts receivable from and
advances to related parties on the consolidated balance sheet.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for
under the asset and liability method in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
temporary differences between the financial reporting and the
tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax
credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws and are released
in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation
allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax asset will not be realized. Loss contingencies resulting
from tax audits or certain tax positions are accrued when the
potential loss can be reasonably estimated and where occurrence
is probable.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — In accordance
with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets are periodically
evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be
recoverable. In the event that periodic assessments reflect that
the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the
undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) that are expected
to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset,
the Company would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the
carrying amount exceeded the fair value of the property. The
Company estimates the fair value using available market
information or other industry valuation techniques such as
present value calculations. No impairment losses were recognized
for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. For the
year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recognized an
impairment loss related to its land held for sale of $300,000.
This property was sold in 2005.
The Company recognizes goodwill in accordance with
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(“SFAS No. 142”). Under
SFAS No. 142, goodwill is recorded at its carrying
value and is tested for impairment at least annually, or more
frequently if impairment indicators exist, at a level of
reporting referred to as a reporting unit. Goodwill impairment
is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit
exceeds its estimated fair value. If a potential impairment
exists, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the
carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the
fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other
assets and liabilities. The Company identified no impairment
indicators since the acquisition. The Company recognizes
goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and tests its
carrying value for impairment during the fourth quarter of each
year. (See Note 11).
Marketable Securities — The Company accounts
for investments in marketable debt and equity securities in
accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
(“SFAS No. 115”). The Company determines
the appropriate classification of debt and equity securities at
the time of purchase and reevaluate such designation as of each
balance sheet date. Marketable securities acquired are
classified with the intent to generate a profit from short-term
movements in market prices as trading securities. Debt
securities are classified as held to maturity when there is a
positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Marketable equity and debt securities not classified as trading
or held to maturity are classified as available for sale.
In accordance with SFAS No. 115, trading securities
are carried at their fair value with realized and unrealized
gains and losses included in net income. The available for sale
securities are carried at their fair market value and any
difference between cost and market value is recorded as
unrealized gain or loss, net of income taxes, and is reported as
accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated
statement of stockholders’ equity. Premiums and discounts
are recognized in interest income using the effective interest
method. Realized gains and losses and declines in value expected
to be
other-than-temporary
on available for sale securities are included in other income.
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method. Interest and dividends on securities
classified as available for sale are included in interest income.
Comprehensive Income — Pursuant to
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
the Company has included a calculation of comprehensive income
(loss) in its accompanying consolidated statements of
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
operations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and
2004. Comprehensive income includes net income adjusted for
certain revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded
from net income.
Guarantees — In November 2002, FASB issued
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others
(“FIN No. 45”), an interpretation of
SFAS Nos. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of
FIN No. 34, Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others. FIN No. 45 elaborates on
the disclosures to be made by the guarantor in its interim and
annual financial statements about its obligations under certain
guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that a guarantor
recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the
fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the
guarantee. Management evaluates these guarantees to determine if
the guarantee meets the criteria required to record a liability.
Segment Disclosure — The Company divides its
services into three primary business segments, transaction
services, management services and dealer-manager services (see
Note 20).
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities —
The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138,
Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133 and SFAS No. 149 Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (“SFAS No. 133”).
SFAS No. 133, establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
and for hedging activities.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In
July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(“FIN No. 48”), which prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in
the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return, including a decision
whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction.
Additionally, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on the
de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for
uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of
FIN No. 48 are effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2006. There may be an impact
from the adoption of FIN No. 48 related to the
acquisition of Capital Corp. on December 14, 2006 and the
Company is currently in the process of evaluating this impact.
Other than as it relates to the acquisition of Capital Corp.,
the Company believes that the adoption of FIN No. 48
will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior
Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current
Year Financial Statements
(“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108
provides guidance on the consideration of effects of prior year
misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the
purpose of a materiality assessment. The SEC staff believes
registrants must quantify errors using both a balance sheet and
income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach
results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant
quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is
material. SAB No. 108 is effective for the first
annual period ending after November 15, 2006 with early
application encouraged. The adoption of SAB No. 108 on
January 1, 2007 did not have a significant effect on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
(“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective as of the
beginning of the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 157 and its impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”).
SFAS No. 159 permits companies to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at
specified
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
election dates. SFAS No. 159 will be effective
beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159
and its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

MARKETABLE
SECURITIES
The historical cost and estimated fair value of the
available-for-sale
marketable securities held by the Company are as follows:
Triple Net Properties owns common stock in two sponsored REITs.
In 2006, Triple Net Properties received 100% return of its
investment in T REIT, Inc. (“T REIT”). As of
December 31, 2005, the Company’s investment balance in
T REIT was $108,000. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the
Company’s investment balances in G REIT, Inc. (“G
REIT”) were $66,000 and $173,000, respectively. The Company
has the ability to exercise significant influence on G REIT
and T REIT; accordingly, the Company accounts for the
investments in these REITs under the equity method of accounting.
As of December 31, 2006the Company’s wholly owned
subsidiaries, Mt. Moriah, LLC and NNN Royal 400 LLC, had an
unconsolidated investment in the property at Mt. Moriah and
Royal 400 totaling $4.4 million and $4.0 million,
which represented 29% and 19% ownership interest in the
property, respectively.
During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company also invested
insignificant amounts in various LLCs, which were formed for the
purpose of acquiring, owning, and operating real estate
properties. The Company serves as the managing member of each
LLC and owns up to a 1.0% interest, representing an initial cash
investment ranging up to $3,500. The Company has the ability to
exercise significant influence on the LLCs; accordingly, the
Company accounts for the investments in the LLCs under the
equity method of accounting. Profits and
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
losses are generally allocated to each member in accordance with
their ownership percentage. For the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s equity
in net earnings (losses) of the unconsolidated entities was
$491,000, $(520,000) and $4,000, respectively.
At December 31, 2006, the Company owned a 35% interest in
NNN 3500 Maple, LLC totaling $728,000. The Company accounts for
the investment in the LLC under the equity method of accounting.
As of December 31, 2005, Triple Net Properties’ wholly
owned subsidiary, NNN 3500 Maple, LLC, had an unconsolidated
investment in the property at 3500 Maple totaling $85,000, which
represented a 1% ownership interest in the property. NNN 3500
Maple, LLC also advanced $11.3 million to the property with
proceeds from the mezzanine loan discussed in Note 15,
which was repaid in 2006.

NOTE RECEIVABLE
FROM RELATED PARTY
On December 28, 2006, the Company advanced
$10.0 million to one of its publicly reported non-traded
REIT programs, NNN Apartment REIT, Inc. The unsecured note
matures on June 28, 2007 and bears interest at a fixed rate
of 6.86% per annum. The unsecured note requires monthly
interest only payments beginning on February 1, 2007 and
provides for a default interest rate in an event of default
equal to 8.86% per annum. The balance owed to the Company
as of December 31, 2006 consisted of $10.0 million in
principal and $8,000 in interest. The entire balance was repaid
to the Company during the first quarter of 2007.
In 2001, the Company, through a subsidiary, advanced funds to a
sponsored program that owns an office property in Wichita,
Kansas. The note receivable was secured by a deed of trust on
the property and had a fixed interest rate of 11.23% per annum
with principal maturing in 2005. During the first quarter of
2006, the loan associated with this property was refinanced with
a third-party lender. The remaining balance of $821,000 was
restructured as an unsecured non-interest-bearing advance. The
balance owed to the Company on December 31, 2006 was
$784,000 and was reflected in the Company’s Advances to
related parties — net on the December 31, 2006
consolidated balance sheet and in Note 6, Advances to
Related Parties.

REAL
ESTATE DEPOSITS AND PREACQUISITION COSTS
The Company’s real estate deposits and preacquisition costs
as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $17.2 million
and $34.1 million, respectively.
For deposits and preacquisition costs outstanding as of
December 31, 2006, approximately $8.4 million was used
to acquire 10 properties in 2006, $6.8 million of which was
repaid in the first quarter of 2007, and approximately
$8.8 million was used for deposits to acquire properties in
2007, with $3.2 million repaid in the first quarter of 2007.
For deposits and preacquisition costs outstanding as of
December 31, 2005, approximately $23.1 million was
used to acquire nine properties in the last four months of 2005
and $8.1 million was used to acquire five properties in
2006 with $18.3 million repaid in the first quarter of 2006.
For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004
expensed preacquisition costs for projects that were not
acquired were $257,000, $124,000 and $2.3 million
(primarily due to the termination of a sponsored REIT),
respectively, and is included in transaction services expense in

BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL & ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE
ASSETS
As discussed in Note 1, the Company was organized as a
corporation in the State of Delaware in September 2006 and was
formed to acquire each of Triple Net Properties, Realty, and
Capital Corp. to bring the businesses conducted by those
companies under one corporate umbrella and to facilitate the
144A offering.
The Company did not obtain any representations from the owners
of Triple Net Properties relating to the operations of, and for
liabilities associated with Triple Net Properties. Additionally,
the Company obtained limited representations from the owners of
Realty and Capital Corp. for the operations of, and liabilities
associated with, those companies arising from events or
circumstances occurring or existing prior to the formation
transactions. In addition, the owners of Realty and Capital
Corp. have agreed to indemnify the Company for a breach of any
of these representations and for certain other losses, subject
to a maximum aggregate limit on the amount of their liability of
$12.0 million. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers have
also agreed to escrow shares of the Company’s common stock
and indemnify the Company for certain other matters. Except for
these escrow arrangements, the Company has no assurance that any
contributing party providing these limited representations or
indemnities will have adequate capital to fulfill its indemnity
obligations.
The acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly all assets and liabilities were
adjusted to and recorded at their estimated fair values as of
the acquisition date. Goodwill and other intangible assets
represent the excess of purchase price over the fair value of
net assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS No. 141,
the Company recorded goodwill for a purchase business
combination to the extent that the purchase price of the
acquisition exceeded the net identifiable assets and intangible
assets of the acquired companies.
The preliminary purchase accounting adjustments for the
acquisition of Realty and Capital Corp. were recorded in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements as of, and for
periods subsequent to the acquisition dates. The excess purchase
price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired has
been recorded to goodwill, which is not deductible for tax
purposes. The final valuation of the net assets acquired is

STATEMENTS — (Continued)
complete except for the evaluation of certain tax positions,
which will be completed no later than one year from the
acquisition date. Adjustments to the deferred tax assets and
liabilities of Capital Corp. may still be required.
The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of Realty and
Capital Corp. was approximately $72.2 million, which
included: (1) issuance of 6,010,000 shares of common
stock, valued at $10.00 per share; and
(2) $12.1 million in cash paid to Mr. Thompson in
lieu of the shares of our common stock he would otherwise be
entitled to receive, valued at $10.00 per share. As of
December 31, 2006, the total purchase price has been paid.

LINES OF
CREDIT
The Company’s original revolving line of credit with Bank
of America N.A. had a maximum commitment of $8.5 million on
revolving terms, consisting of $7.5 million for
acquisitions and $1.0 million for general corporate
purposes. This line of credit bore interest at prime rate plus
0.5% per annum (7.75% as of December 31,2005) with an extended maturity date of October 3,2006 from September 3, 2006. The balance was $8.5 million
at December 31, 2005. The Company was in compliance with
all debt covenants pertaining to this line of credit as of
December 31, 2005. The Company terminated and repaid this
line of credit in full along with all interest incurred on
September 11, 2006.
In September 2006, the Company entered into a $27.5 million
credit agreement with Wachovia Bank, N.A. The facility’s
fixed interest was 6.0% per annum plus a contingent
interest equal to 24.9% of the Company’s adjusted net
income for each period, less any amount of fixed interest paid
in such period, with a maturity date in April 2016. The proceeds
from this loan were used to redeem in full $5.5 million of
preferred interests that were issued to preferred members as
disclosed in Note 19, plus a related $1.4 million
redemption premium, to make a distribution of $10.0 million
to the common members of Triple Net Properties, LLC and the
remainder was used for working capital and other general
corporate purposes, including paying down its line of credit and
making acquisition deposits on a number of properties that are
intended to be acquired by our programs. This debt was repaid in
November 2006 with proceeds from our 144A private equity
offering.
In September 2006, Triple Net Properties entered into a
$10.0 million revolving line of credit with LaSalle Bank,
N.A. to replace its then existing $8.5 million revolving
line of credit with Bank of America, N.A. This new line of
credit consists of $7.5 million for use in property
acquisitions and $2.5 million for general corporate
purposes and bears interest at either prime rate plus 0.50% or
three-month LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum, at our option on each
drawdown, and matures in March 2008. As of September 11,2006, Triple Net Properties had drawn an aggregate of
$6.5 million under this line of credit, which was used to
repay in full amounts due, including accrued interest, under our
revolving line of credit with Bank of America, N.A. On
September 15, 2006, the Company repaid this line of credit
in full from proceeds of the Wachovia loan, which was repaid in
full in November 2006.
The Company’s current line of credit is secured by the
Company’s assets and requires the Company to meet certain
minimum loan to value, debt service coverage, performance
covenants, including the timely

credit was $0 as of December 31, 2006. The Company was in
compliance with all debt covenants pertaining to this line of
credit as of December 31, 2006.

right of payment with all other senior debt incurred and ranking
senior to any subordinated debt it may incur. The notes will be
effectively subordinated to all present or future debt secured
by real or personal property to the extent of the value of the
collateral securing such debt. The notes will be secured by a
pledge of the Senior Notes Program’s membership interest in
NNN Series A Holdings, LLC, which is the Senior Notes
Program’s wholly-owned subsidiary for the sole purpose of
making the investments. Each note will be guaranteed by Triple
Net Properties. The guarantee will be secured by a pledge of

Pending Litigation — On September 16,2004, Triple Net Properties learned that the SEC Los Angeles
Enforcement Division, or the SEC Staff, is conducting an
investigation referred to as “In the matter of Triple
Net Properties, LLC.” The SEC Staff has requested
information from Triple Net Properties relating to disclosure in
public and private securities offerings sponsored by Triple Net
Properties and its affiliates prior to 2005, or the Triple Net
Properties securities offerings. The SEC Staff also requested
information from Capital Corp., the dealer-manager for the
Triple Net Properties securities offerings. The SEC Staff
requested financial and other information regarding the Triple
Net Properties securities offerings and the disclosures included
in the related offering documents from each of Triple Net
Properties and Capital Corp. Triple Net Properties and Capital
Corp. believe they have cooperated fully with the SEC
Staff’s investigation.
Based on these negotiations, management believes that the
conclusion to this matter will not result in a material adverse
affect to its results of operations, financial condition,
liquidity or ability to conduct its business and management has
accrued a loss contingency on a consolidated basis of $600,000
and $1.0 million
To the extent that the Company pays the SEC an amount in excess
of $1.0 million in connection with any settlement or other
resolution of this matter, Anthony W. Thompson, the
Company’s founder and Chairman, has agreed to forfeit to
the Company up to 1,210,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock. In connection with this arrangement, the Company has
entered into an escrow agreement with Mr. Thompson and an
independent escrow agent, pursuant to which the escrow agent
holds 1,210,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
that are otherwise issuable to Mr. Thompson in connection
with the formation transactions to secure
Mr. Thompson’s obligations to us.
Mr. Thompson’s liability under this arrangement will
not exceed the value of the shares in the escrow.
On February 11, 2004, Clearview Properties, or Clearview,
filed a petition in the District Court of the
270th Judicial District, Harris County, Texas against
Property Texas SC One Corporation, Clarion Partners, LLC, and
Granite Partners I, LLC, three unaffiliated entities, and
Triple Net Properties, T REIT, Inc. and Realty, or the Triple
Net Entities. The complaint alleged that the Triple Net Entities
willfully and intentionally interfered with an agreement between
Property One and Clearview for the sale of certain real property
located in Houston, Texas by Property One to Clearview. On
January 7, 2005, Clearview filed an amended complaint which
also alleged that the Triple Net Entities breached a contract
between Clearview and the Triple Net Entities for the sale of
the Houston, Texas property by Clearview to the Triple Net
Entities and for conspiracy with Property One to breach this
contract. On March 25, 2005, Clearview filed a further
amended complaint which named T REIT, L.P. as an additional
Triple Net Entity defendant and dropped Triple Net Properties
Realty, Inc. as a defendant.
On May 4, 2005, the Court denied the Company’s motion
for summary judgment. On July 28, 2005, the Triple Net
Entities filed their second amended motion for summary judgment
to dismiss the claims against us, which amended motion was
granted in the Company’s favor by the Court on
August 8, 2005. On December 12, 2005, a
one-day
trial was held to determine the Company’s ability to
recover from Clearview, attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs
incurred in this case as provided for pursuant to the terms of
the agreements underlying Clearview’s breach of contract
claims against the Company. On May 17, 2006, the Court
entered a final judgment awarding the Triple Net Entities
$212,000 in attorneys’ fees for services rendered, $25,000
for attorneys’ fees if Clearview unsuccessfully appeals the
case to the court of appeals, and $13,000 for attorneys’
fees if Clearview unsuccessfully appeals the case to the Texas
Supreme Court. Clearview has indicated that it intends to appeal
the Court’s grant of the Company’s second amended
motion for summary judgment. On June 16, 2006, Clearview
filed a motion for new trial; however, on September 8,2006, the Company was notified that Clearview’s motion for
new trial was overruled by operation of law. On August 8,2006, Clearview filed its notice of appeal which was amended on
August 14, 2006. On April 27, 2007, the Court of
Appeals abated the appeal and ordered the Court to file findings
of fact and conclusions of law no later than May 17, 2007.
Once the Court enters those findings, the appeal will be
reinstated.
Mission
Residential
In October 2004, Triple Net Properties and Mission Residential,
LLC, or Mission Residential, formed NNN/Mission Residential
Holdings, LLC, or NNN/Mission, and entered into an operating
agreement dated as of October 1, 2004. Under this
agreement, Mission Residential was to locate multi-family
replacement property appropriate for our TIC programs, conduct
due diligence on the property, obtain financing for and close
the acquisition of the property, manage the property through an
affiliate and provide property disposition services. Triple Net
Properties’ responsibilities under the agreement were to
maintain the books and records of NNN/Mission, provide
accounting and tax preparation services, oversee placement of
the equity for the acquisition of the properties and be
responsible for investor relations. The agreement provides that
for one year following the acquisition of the first property
under the agreement, Mission Residential had the obligation
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
to show properties that it identified for acquisition
exclusively to Triple Net Properties. In addition, the agreement
provides that Mission Residential was obligated to use its best
efforts to present four properties in 2004 and a total of 22
properties in 2005 to Triple Net Properties.
Only four multi-family properties were presented in 2004, and
none in 2005, despite Triple Net Properties’ repeated
request for properties. Mission Residential subsequently
syndicated nine multi-family properties on its own during the
relevant period. Triple Net Properties notified Mission
Residential that Mission Residential had breached the
exclusivity and best efforts provisions of the agreement before
turning the matter over to legal counsel to represent it in
initiating arbitration. Triple Net Properties filed a statement
of claim with the American Arbitration Association, or AAA.
Mission Residential filed responses denying the claim and
contesting the arbitrator’s jurisdiction to hear the
matter. Mission Residential did not initially file a
counterclaim against Triple Net Properties. The arbitrator ruled
in July 2006 that he had jurisdiction to hear the claim, ordered
the parties to proceed with discovery, and set a hearing date of
January 29, 2007 through February 2, 2007. The
arbitrator also granted Triple Net Properties leave to file an
amended statement of claim asserting Mission Residential
materially breached the operating agreement, willfully breached
its fiduciary duties and committed willful misconduct by
usurping the nine properties during the relevant period of the
agreement.
In an effort to avoid having the arbitration go forward, Mission
Residential filed a lawsuit in the Fairfax Circuit Court seeking
an injunction and a declaration that Triple Net Properties’
claim is not subject to the agreement’s arbitration
provision. The lawsuit also sought an unspecified amount of
damages on behalf of NNN/Mission for Triple Net Properties’
alleged breaches of fiduciary duty primarily related to alleged
accounting issues. The trial court dismissed the request for an
injunction and dismissed the suit ruling that Mission
Residential’s claims should be asserted in arbitration.
Mission Residential appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court of
Virginia by filing a petition for appeal and requested a stay be
issued enjoining the arbitration. Additionally, Mission
Residential sought and was granted leave in the arbitration to
assert a counterclaim. Mission Residential also supplemented its
discovery responses to claim that Triple Net Properties was the
first to breach the agreement.
Both parties presented extensive evidence and testimony at the
evidentiary hearing and submitted extensive post-hearing briefs.
Contemporaneous with the parties submitting post-hearing briefs
to the arbitrator, the Supreme Court of Virginia, or the Court,
heard oral argument on Mission Residential’s petition. On
April 27, 2006, the Court granted Mission
Residential’s appeal, but denied Mission Residential’s
motion to stay the arbitration. No hearing date has been set at
this time on Mission Residential’s appeal. On May 2,2007, the arbitrator issued an interim award. The award
specifically finds that Mission Residential materially breached
the operating agreement and committed willful misconduct in
usurping the nine properties. The award also denies Mission
Residential’s counterclaim and orders payments which would
result in Triple Net Properties receiving a net of $2,489,000
from the award. Further, the award states that Triple Net
Properties has substantially prevailed in the arbitration,
thereby necessitating the reopening of the evidentiary hearing
to allow Triple Net Properties to submit a statement of account
of its separate expenses and costs, including attorneys’
fees.
Just prior to the evidentiary hearing, Mission Residential
initiated an arbitration proceeding relating to a dispute
between Mission Residential and Triple Net Properties regarding
a buy-sell right in the operating agreement. Neither Triple Net
Properties nor Mission Residential seeks any monetary damages in
this matter. Rather, both parties seek declaratory relief as to
which has the right to purchase the other’s interest. To
date, the AAA has appointed an arbitrator and an evidentiary
hearing has been scheduled for September 20 and 21, 2007. Triple
Net Properties believes the arbitrator’s finding that
Mission Residential materially breached the operating agreement
may result in the buy-sell dispute being dismissed.
On September 1, 2006, Triple Net Properties filed a civil
lawsuit against CORE Realty Holdings, LLC, or CORE, entitled,
Triple Net Properties, LLC v. CORE Realty Holdings, LLC;
Aaron G. Cook; Laurie Levassar; and Michelle Moore, in the
United States District Court for the Central District of
California. Triple Net Properties believes that CORE and several
of its employees, also named in the lawsuit and former employees
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
of Triple Net Properties, engaged in a series of related and
intentional acts intended to harm Triple Net Properties and its
business, including misappropriation of confidential and
proprietary information and wrongful solicitation of clients and
employees. Triple Net Properties alleges that CORE and its
employees have engaged in tortious and illegal conduct,
including (1) misappropriation of trade secrets;
(2) violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act;
(3) violation of the California Unfair Competition Law;
(4) breach of contract; (5) breach of fiduciary duty
and breach of loyalty; (6) conversion; (7) tortious
interference with prospective business advantage; and
(8) criminal eavesdropping. Triple Net Properties requested
remedies include: (a) preliminary and permanent injunctions
requiring CORE, Cook, Levassar, and Moore to return all
confidential and proprietary information that was wrongfully
obtained and preventing them from using or in any way gaining a
competitive advantage as a result of this information;
(b) monetary damages not less than fifty million dollars
($50,000,000); (c) disgorgement of CORE and its
employees’ ill gotten gains; and (d) punitive damages.
At this time, the Company cannot forecast with reasonable
certainty the potential costs associated with the lawsuit or the
outcome of the lawsuit.
The parties stipulated to arbitrate Triple Net Properties’
claims against Cook, Levassar and Moore. Triple Net Properties
has filed a Demand for Arbitration with JAMS and served that
demand on the individual defendants. The Demand for Arbitration
alleges the same claims asserted in the civil lawsuit, which is
still proceeding in Federal court as to CORE. Neither CORE nor
any of the individual defendants have filed
cross-claims
against Triple Net Properties in either proceeding. At this
time, the Company cannot forecast with reasonable certainty the
outcome of either proceeding.
Louis J. Rogers served as the President of Triple Net Properties
from August 2004 to April 2007. On April 4, 2007, the
Company terminated Mr. Rogers’ employment for cause
(as defined in his employment agreement). On April 6, 2007,
Mr. Rogers served a demand for arbitration pursuant to his
employment agreement claiming an unspecified amount of damages
for wrongful termination and for breach of his employment
agreement. A date for arbitration has not been set, and the
Company has not yet appointed an arbitrator. The Company intends
to vigorously defend the claim, but at this time the Company
cannot forecast with reasonable certainty the potential costs
associated with the arbitration or the outcome of the
arbitration.
The Company is involved in various other lawsuits and claims
arising in the ordinary course of business. These other matters
are, in the opinion of management, immaterial both individually
and in the aggregate with respect to the Company’s
consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of
operations.
Indemnification Agreement — In connection with
the sale of a building by T REIT in 2001, the Company
concurrently indemnified T REIT with respect to all of its
obligations under a master lease guaranty agreement assumed by T
REIT. The indemnification agreement was executed in November
2001. The guaranty required T REIT to guarantee the lease
payment in the amount of $20,000 per month for a period of
five years. Under this agreement, T REIT is obligated to make
lease payments to the lessor only in the event the sublessee
fails to make the lease payments. In addition, T REIT is also
obligated to pay a pro rata share of lease commissions and
tenant improvements in the event the premises are re-leased
prior to November 13, 2006.
The building is a single-tenant office building for which the
current tenant’s lease expired on August 31, 2002, and
the tenant vacated the property in October 2002.
At December 31, 2006, the building remained unoccupied, and
there were no prospective tenants. As a result, the
Company’s liability pursuant to its obligations under the
indemnification agreement as of December 31, 2006 and 2005
was $0 and $214,000, respectively.
Contingent Loan Obligations — The Company and
all other tenants in common in a single property are jointly and
severally liable for the entire balance of a mortgage note
payable totaling approximately $3.1 million as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, for a property under
management. In the event of a default on this loan by the other
property owners, the Company may be required to fully repay the
defaulted loan and
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
any accrued interest. In such event, the Company would have
recourse against the other owners and would be able to
proportionately increase its ownership interest in the
respective property.
Guarantees — From time to time the Company
provides guarantees of loans for properties under management. As
of December 31, 2006, there were 107 loans for properties
under management that were guaranteed, with approximately
$2.4 billion in total principal outstanding secured by
properties with a total aggregate purchase price of
approximately $3.4 billion. Of the approximate
$2.4 billion total principal outstanding guaranteed,
approximately $2.4 billion was non-recourse guarantees,
$26.4 million was in the form of mezzanine debt and
$28.7 million was other recourse guarantees.
At December 31, 2005, there were 52 loans for properties
under management during 2005 that were guaranteed, with
$1.3 billion in total principal outstanding secured by
properties with a total aggregate purchase price of
$1.8 billion. Of the $1.3 billion total principal
outstanding guaranteed, $71.1 million was in the form of
mezzanine debt of which $52.0 million was paid off
subsequent to December 31, 2005.
Management evaluates these guarantees to determine if the
guarantee meets the criteria required to record a liability.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company entered into
several interest rate lock agreements with commercial banks
aggregating to approximately $400.0 million, with interest
rates ranging from 6.15% to 6.19% as of December 31, 2006.
The Company paid $2.0 million in refundable deposits in
connection with these agreements, which will be refunded if the
total available loan amount is utilized for property purchases.
If the total available loan amount is not utilized, then some of
the deposits will be forfeited.
Environmental Obligations — In the
Company’s role as property manager, it could incur
liabilities for the investigation or remediation of hazardous or
toxic substances or wastes at properties the Company currently
or formerly managed or at off-site locations where wastes were
disposed. Similarly, under debt financing arrangements on
properties owned by sponsored programs, the Company has agreed
to indemnify the lenders for environmental liabilities and to
remediate any environmental problems that may arise. The Company
is not aware of any environmental liability or unasserted claim
or assessment relating to an environmental liability that the
Company believes would require disclosure or the recording of a
loss contingency.
Real Estate Licensing Issues — Although Realty
was required to have real estate licenses in all of the states
in which it acted as a broker for Triple Net Properties’
programs and received real estate commissions. Realty did not
hold a license in certain of those states when it earned fees
for those services. In addition, almost all of Triple Net
Properties’ revenue was based on an arrangement with Realty
to share fees from our programs. Triple Net Properties did not
hold a real estate license in any state, although most states in
which properties of the Company’s programs were located may
have required Triple Net Properties to hold a license. As a
result, the Company may be subject to penalties, such as fines
(which could be a multiple of the amount received), restitution
payments and termination of management agreements, and to the
suspension or revocation of Realty’s real estate broker
licenses. To date there have been no claims, and the Company
cannot assess or estimate whether it will incur any losses as a
result of the foregoing.
To the extent that the Company incurs any liability arising from
the failure to comply with real estate broker licensing
requirements in certain states, Mr. Thompson,
Mr. Rogers and Mr. Hanson have agreed to forfeit to
the Company up to an aggregate of 4,686,500 shares of the
Company’s common stock, and each share will be deemed to
have a value of $10.00 per share in satisfying this
obligation. Mr. Thompson has agreed to indemnify the
Company, to the extent the liability incurred by the Company for
such matters exceeds the deemed $46,865,000 value of these
shares, up to an additional $9,435,000 in cash. In connection
with this arrangement, the Company has entered into an
indemnification and escrow agreement with Mr. Thompson,
Mr. Rogers, Mr. Hanson, an independent escrow agent
and the Company, pursuant to which the escrow agent will hold
4,686,500 shares of our common stock that are otherwise
issuable to Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers in connection
with the Company’s formation transactions
(3,279,000 shares for Mr. Thompson
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
and 1,407,500 shares for Mr. Rogers) to secure
Mr. Thompson’s and Mr. Rogers’ obligations
to the Company with respect to these matters.
Mr. Thompson’s and Mr. Rogers’ liability
under this arrangement will not exceed the sum of the value of
their shares in the escrow except to the extent
Mr. Thompson may be obliged to indemnify the Company for
excess liabilities up to an additional $9,435,000 in cash. Since
Mr. Hanson is entitled over time to receive up to
844,500 shares from Messrs. Thompson and Rogers
(633,375 from Mr. Thompson and 211,125 from
Mr. Rogers) from the shares held in the indemnification and
escrow agreement, he is a party to it as well and his liability
is limited to those shares. If Mr. Hanson’s right to
receive the shares vests, then to the extent shares attributable
to his ownership are available, and not subject to potential
claims, under the indemnification and escrow agreement, he will
be permitted to remove 100,000 shares on each of
January 1, 2008 and 2009 to pay taxes.
23.
EARNINGS
PER SHARE
The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with
SFAS No. 128. Under the provisions of
SFAS No. 128, basic net income per share is computed
using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period less unvested restricted shares. Diluted net
income per share is computed using the weighted-average number
of common and common equivalent shares of stock outstanding
during the periods utilizing the treasury stock method for stock
options and unvested restricted stock.
As of December 31, 2006, with completion of the formation
transactions and the issuance of 615,000 shares of
restricted stock to the Company’s directors and officers,
26,366,407 shares of common stock were outstanding and
owned by 40 stockholders. Pursuant to our 2006 Long-term
Incentive Plan, the Company has reserved 2,339,200 shares
of common stock for future issuance as restricted stock, stock
options
and/or other
equity based grants to employees and directors. Of the reserved
shares, 1,436,200 may be awarded as restricted stock and 903,000
may be awarded as stock options
and/or other
equity based grants. As part of this plan, 40,000 shares of
common stock were issued to the Company’s initial four
independent directors as restricted stock. In connection with
the closing of the 144A offering, 575,000 shares of common
stock were granted to certain executive officers as restricted
stock and options to purchase up to 205,000 shares of
common stock were granted to certain executive officers with an
option exercise price of $10.00 per share.

OTHER
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Due to Related Parties — The total due to
related parties as of December 31, 2006 of
$4.1 million consisted primarily of certain non-recurring
credits to investors of $2.7 million, and $300,000 of
property management fees refund due to related parties. The
total due to related parties as of December 31, 2005, was
$3.4 million and primarily consisted of $2.6 million
payable to Realty and $214,000 payable to T REIT pursuant to an
indemnification agreement.
Advisory Fees — The Company bears certain
general and administrative expenses in its capacity as advisor
to T REIT and G REIT and is reimbursed for these expenses.
However, T REIT and G REIT will not reimburse the Company for
any operating expenses that, in any four consecutive fiscal
quarters, exceed the greater of 2.0% of average invested assets
(as defined in their respective advisory agreements) or 25.0% of
their net income for such year. All unreimbursable amounts are
expensed by the Company.
Audit Fees — In its capacity as advisor and
manager to NNN 2002 Value Fund, LLC, the Company incurred
accounting fees for auditing financial statements for NNN 2002
Value Fund, LLC, which are not
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
reimbursable. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005
and 2004, the Company incurred audit fees of $154,000, $186,000
and $325,000, respectively.
Other Related Party — Triple Net Properties,
which is wholly owned by the Company, owns a 50.0% managing
member interest in NNN Apartment REIT Advisor, LLC, the
consolidated subsidiary the Company formed to advise and manage
NNN Apartment REIT, Inc., a public non-traded REIT the Company
is sponsoring. Each of Scott D. Peters, the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and President, Mr. Rogers and Andrea R.
Biller, the Company’s General Counsel, Executive Vice
President and Secretary received an equity interest of 18.0% of
NNN Apartment Management, LLC, which owns a 25.0% equity
interest in NNN Apartment Advisor, LLC. The grant of these
membership interests in NNN Apartment Management, LLC is being
accounted for by the Company as a profit sharing arrangement.
Compensation expense is recorded by the Company when the
likelihood of payment is probable and the amount of such payment
is estimable, which generally coincide with NNN Apartment
Advisor, LLC recording its revenue. Included in compensation
expense was $354,000 related to this profit sharing arrangement
for the year ended December 31, 2006. At December 31,2006, the remaining 46% equity interest in NNN Apartment
Management, LLC was owned by Triple Net Properties, however, the
Partnership agreement requires that any allocable earnings
attributable to the Triple Net Properties ownership interest be
paid out as performance bonuses to Company employees. Subsequent
to December 31, 2006, NNN Apartment Management, LLC has
redeemed Mr. Rogers’ membership interest in connection
with the termination of his employment with the Company and
Triple Net Properties’ membership interest increased by the
amount of Mr. Rogers’ redeemed membership interest.
Triple Net Properties, which is wholly owned by the Company,
owns a 75.0% managing member interest in NNN Healthcare/Office
REIT Advisor, LLC, the consolidated subsidiary the Company
formed to advise and manage NNN Healthcare/Office REIT, Inc., a
public non-traded REIT the Company is sponsoring. Each of
Mr. Peters, Ms. Biller and Mr. Hanson received an
equity interest of 18.0% of NNN Healthcare/Office Management,
LLC, which owns a 25.0% equity interest in NNN Healthcare/Office
Advisor, LLC.
Mr. Thompson is entitled to receive up to $175,000 annually
in compensation from each of NNN Apartment Management, LLC and
NNN Healthcare/Office Management, LLC.
To the extent that the Company pays the SEC an amount in excess
of $1.0 million in connection with any settlement or other
resolution of this matter, Mr. Thompson has agreed to forfeit to
us up to 1,210,000 shares of its common stock. In connection
with this arrangement, the Company has entered into an escrow
agreement with Mr. Thompson and an independent escrow
agent, pursuant to which the escrow agent holds
1,210,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that
were otherwise issuable to Mr. Thompson in connection with
the formation transactions to secure Mr. Thompson’s
obligations to us. Mr. Thompson’s liability under this
arrangement will not exceed the shares in the escrow. The
Company cannot assure you as to the value of the shares at the
time of any claim under this agreement.
Mr. Thompson has transferred the following amounts of his common
stock owned in Capital Corp. to each of Louis J. Rogers, our
director (25.0%) and to Kevin K. Hull, the Chief Executive
Officer and President of Capital Corp. (25.0%). The transfers to
Mr. Rogers were made as follows: 10.0% in November 2005,
for a value of $84,000; 5.0% in August 2006, for a value of
$169,000; and 10.0% in September 2006 for a value of $337,000.
The transfers to Mr. Hull were made as follows: 5.0% in
February 2006 for a value of $42,000; and 20.0% in September
2006 for a value of $675,000. Because Mr. Thompson was an
affiliate of Capital Corp. at the time of these transfers, these
transfers resulted in compensation charges to Capital Corp. In
addition, the Company agreed to pay the income taxes (including
an associated
“gross-up”
payment to cover the tax on the tax payment) incurred by
Mr. Rogers ($467,000) and Mr. Hull (as to only
approximately one-half of such liability, or $191,000) in such
transactions.
Mr. Thompson has transferred 25.0% of his common stock
interest in Realty to Mr. Rogers as follows: 12.0% in
January 2005, for a value of $1.5 million; 4.0% in August
2005, for a value of $685,000; 4.0% in
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
August 2006, for a value of $1.1 million; and 5.0% in
September 2006, for a value of $1.4 million. Because
Mr. Thompson was an affiliate of Realty at the time of
these transfers, these transfers resulted in compensation
charges to Realty. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the
income taxes (including an associated
gross-up
payment) aggregating $2.0 million, incurred by
Mr. Rogers in such transactions.
Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers have agreed to transfer up
to 15.0% of the common stock of Realty they own to Jeffrey T.
Hanson, the Company’s Chief Investment Officer, assuming he
remains employed by the Company in equal increments on
July 29, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The transfers will be settled
with 844,500 shares of the Company’s common stock
(633,375 from Mr. Thompson and 211,125 from
Mr. Rogers). Because Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers
were affiliates of the Company at the time of such transfers,
the Company recognized a compensation charge (see Note 25).
Mr. Hanson is not entitled to any reimbursement for his tax
liability or any
gross-up
payment.
On September 20, 2006, Triple Net Properties awarded Mr.
Peters, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and
President, a bonus of $2.1 million, which was payable in
283,165 membership units in Triple Net Properties, representing
a 1.0% ownership for a value of $1.3 million, and a cash
tax gross-up
payment of $854,000.
The law firm of Hirschler Fleischer represented us and certain
of our investor programs in various legal matters during the
last three years. Mr. Rogers, one of the Company’s
directors from our inception and the former President of Triple
Net Properties, LLC from September 2004 through April 3,2007, also practiced law with Hirschler Fleischer from 1987 to
March 2007. Mr. Rogers was a shareholder of Hirschler
Fleischer from 1994 to December 31, 2004, and served as
senior counsel in that firm from January 2005 to March 2007. On
March 19, 2007, the Company learned that, in connection
with his transition from shareholder to senior counsel,
Mr. Rogers and Hirschler Fleischer entered into a
transition agreement on December 29, 2004.
The transition agreement provided, among other things, that
Mr. Rogers would receive a base salary from Hirschler
Fleischer as follows: $450,000 in 2005, $400,000 in 2006,
$300,000 in 2007, and $125,000 in 2008 and subsequent years.
Mr. Rogers’ receipt of the base salary was subject to
satisfaction of certain conditions, including that Triple Net
Properties, LLC and its affiliated companies, including us
(collectively, the “NNN Group”), remain a client of
Hirschler Fleischer and that collections by that firm from the
NNN Group equal at least $1.5 million per year. If the
fees collected by Hirschler Fleischer from the NNN Group were
less than $1.5 million, Mr. Rogers’ base salary
would be proportionately reduced. Under the transition
agreement, Mr. Rogers was also entitled to receive a bonus
from Hirschler Fleischer on a quarterly basis, equal to a
percentage, declining from 5.0% to 1.0% during the term of the
agreement, of all collections by that firm from specified
pre-2005 clients (including the NNN Group) in excess of
$3.0 million as well as a percentage of all collections by
that firm from new clients originated by Mr. Rogers,
ranging from 6.0% to 3.0% depending on the year originated.
For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the
NNN Group incurred legal fees to Hirschler Fleischer of
approximately $3.7 million, $3.3 million and
$2.7 million, respectively. Under the transition agreement,
Hirschler Fleischer paid Mr. Rogers approximately $647,000
in base salary and bonus for 2006 and approximately $719,000 in
2005. Mr. Rogers’ 2004 compensation from Hirschler
Fleischer was based on his earnings as a shareholder in the
firm, and nothing was paid in connection with the transition
agreement in 2004. Mr. Rogers’ senior counsel position
with Hirschler Fleischer terminated on March 31, 2007, at
which point Hirschler Fleischer had paid Mr. Rogers $75,000
for his 2007 services. Mr. Rogers will receive from
Hirschler Fleischer an additional $450,000 in 2007 pursuant to a
separation agreement in satisfaction of all amounts owed to him
under the transition agreement.
Before joining Realty, Mr. Hanson was employed with Grubb
and Ellis. Since July 2006, in connection with his employment
with Grubb and Ellis, Mr. Hanson was or will be paid
commissions relating to transactions involving properties
acquired or sold by our programs of approximately
$1.2 million.

G REIT, Inc., a public non-traded REIT the Company sponsored,
has agreed to pay Mr. Peters and Ms. Biller retention
bonuses in connection with its stockholder approved liquidation
of $50,000 and $25,000, respectively, upon the filing of each of
G REIT’s annual and quarterly reports with the SEC during
the period of the liquidation process. As of December 31,2006, Mr. Peters and Ms. Biller have received
retention bonuses of $200,000 and $100,000, respectively.

The Company’s directors and officers, as well as officers,
managers and employees of the Company’s subsidiaries, have
purchased, and may continue to purchase, interests in offerings
made by the Company’s programs at a discount. The purchase
price for these interests reflects the fact that selling
commissions and marketing allowances will not be paid in
connection with these sales. The net proceeds to the Company
from these sales made net of commissions will be substantially
the same as the net proceeds received from other sales.
Since the Company’s inception in 1998, Mr. Thompson
has routinely provided personal guarantees to various lending
institutions that provided financing for the acquisition of many
properties by our programs. These guarantees cover general
payment obligations, environmental and hazardous substance
indemnification and indemnification for any liability arising
from the SEC investigation of Triple Net Properties. In
connection with the formation transactions, the Company
indemnified Mr. Thompson for amounts he may be required to
pay under all of these guarantees to which Triple Net
Properties, Realty or Capital Corp. is an obligor to the extent
such indemnification would not require the Company to book
additional liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.
Cunningham Lending Group LLC, a company that is wholly-owned by
Mr. Thompson, from time to time has made unsecured loans to
some of the Company’s programs. The loans are not
negotiated at arm’s length, are serviced by the cash flows
from the programs and bear interest at rates ranging from 8.0%
to 12.0%.
The Company has made advances totaling $3.3 million to
Colony Canyon, a property 20.0% owned by Mr. Thompson. The
advances bear interest at 10.0% per annum and are required
to be repaid within one year (although the repayments can and
have been extended from time to time).
In February 2005, the Company advanced approximately $91,000 to
Mr. Rogers in connection with his purchase of a home. This
loan was repaid in full in March 2006.
The following formation transactions were entered into in
connection with the 144A offering in November 2006 and were not

Incentive Plans
2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan — In September
2006, the Company’s Board and then sole stockholder have
approved and adopted the NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. 2006
Long-Term Incentive Plan, which the Company refers to as the
2006 Plan. The purpose of the 2006 Plan is to provide additional
incentive for the Company’s directors, key employees and
consultants to further the Company’s growth, development
and the Company’s financial success by personally
benefiting through the ownership of the Company’s common
stock, or other rights which recognize such growth, development
and financial success. The Company’s board of directors
also believes that the 2006 Plan will enable the Company to
obtain and retain the services of the Company’s directors,
key employees and consultants that are considered essential to
the Company’s long range success by offering them an
opportunity to own stock and other rights that reflect our
financial success. The 2006 Plan is also designed to permit the
Company to make cash and equity based awards intended to qualify
as “performance-based compensation” under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or the Code.
The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may
be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the 2006 Plan
is equal to 2,339,200 shares.
To the extent that an award or any portion thereof granted under
the 2006 Plan terminates, expires or lapses for any reason, any
unissued shares subject to the award at such time will be
available for future grants under the 2006 Plan. If any shares
of restricted stock are surrendered by a participant or
repurchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the 2006
Plan, such shares also will be available for future grants under
the 2006 Plan. The add back of shares due to the replenishment
provisions of the 2006 Plan will be on a one share added back
for each one stock option, stock appreciation right and other
award for which the holder pays the intrinsic value that was
granted under the 2006 Plan is subsequently terminated, expired,
cancelled, forfeited or repurchased. For every other award
granted under the 2006 Plan, that is for every full-value award
granted under the 2006 Plan, that is expired, cancelled,
forfeited or repurchased two shares will be made available for
issuance under the 2006 Plan. In no event, however, will any
shares of our common stock again be available for future grants
under the Plan if such action would cause an incentive stock
option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under
Section 422 of the Code.
To the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule,
shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any
outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of
combination by us will not be counted against the shares
available for issuance under the 2006 Plan.
The shares of the Company’s common stock covered by the
2006 Plan may be treasury shares, authorized but unissued
shares, or shares purchased in the open market.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The 2006 Plan provides that the administrator may grant or issue
stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted
stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock, dividend
equivalents, performance awards and stock payments, or any
combination thereof. Each award will be set forth in a separate
agreement with the person receiving the award and will indicate
the type, terms and conditions of the award.
Non-Qualified Stock Options. Non-qualified
stock options, or NQSOs, will provide for the right to purchase
shares of our common stock at a specified price not less than
the fair market value for a share of our common stock on the
date of grant, and usually will become exercisable (in the
discretion of the administrator) in one or more installments
after the grant date, subject to the completion of the
applicable vesting service period or the attainment of
pre-established performance goals.
For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
205,000, 0 and 0 shares of stock option were granted under
the 2006 Plan, respectively. For 2006, the NQSOs granted under
the 2006 Plan have an exercise price of $10.00. On the date of
the grant date, 68,333 shares were vested and exercisable.
The remaining shares will be vested in equal annual increments
over the next two years. These NQSOs granted under the 2006 Plan
are subject to a maximum term of ten years from the date of
grant and are subject to earlier termination under certain
conditions. Because these stock option awards were granted to
the Company’s senior executive officers, no forfeiture rate
was assumed.
Restricted Stock. Restricted stock may be
issued at such price, if any, and may be made subject to such
restrictions (including time vesting or satisfaction of
performance goals), as may be determined by the administrator.
Restricted stock typically may be repurchased by us at the
original purchase price, if any, or forfeited, if the vesting
conditions and other restrictions are not met. In general,
restricted stock may not be sold, or otherwise hypothecated or
transferred until the vesting restrictions and other
restrictions applicable to such shares are removed or expire.
Recipients of restricted stock, unlike recipients of options or
restricted stock units, generally will have voting rights and
will receive dividends prior to the time when the restrictions
lapse.
For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the
Company granted restricted stock awards of 615,000 shares,
0 shares and 0 shares, respectively. Of the
575,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to executive
officers during 2006, no shares were vested as of
December 31, 2006. The shares will be vested as follows:
191,667 at January 1, 2007; 191,667 at January 1,2008, and 191,666 at January 1, 2009. Expected vested
shares in 2008 and 2009 include shares subsequently forfeited by
Louis Rogers who was terminated in 2007. During 2006, the
Company also granted 40,000 shares of restricted stock to
our board of directors, and the shares will be vested in equal
annual increments over three years from the date of grant. The
total fair
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
value of restricted stock granted was $5.8 million, $0 and
$0 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. A
5.0% discount was used in determining the fair value of
restricted stock awards granted to executive officers on
November 16, 2006 for the incremental illiquidity related
to lock up features of such awards. Total compensation expense
recognized for restricted stock awards was $1.7 million, $0
and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and
2004. The related income tax benefit for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $681,000, $0 and $0,
respectively. As of December 31, 2006, there was
$4.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related
to unvested restricted stock awards that the Company expects to
recognize as follows: $2.0 million in 2007,
$2.0 million in 2008 and $117,000 in 2009.
The following table provides a summary of the Company’s
restricted stock activity:
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation —
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 123R, using the modified prospective
transition method, which requires the measurement and
recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair
values for all equity-based compensation made to employees and
directors. SFAS No. 123R replaces the guidance in
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”) and
supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
(“APB No. 25”). In addition, the SEC
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107,
Share-Based Payment, (“SAB No. 107”)
in March 2005, which provides supplemental
SFAS No. 123R application guidance based on the view
of the SEC which the Company also adopted on January 1,2006.
SFAS No. 123R requires companies to estimate the fair
value of equity awards on the date of grant using an
option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The determination of the fair value of
option-based awards using the Black-Scholes model incorporates
various assumptions including exercise price, fair value at date
of grant, volatility, expected life of awards, risk-free
interest rates and expected dividend yield. The expected
volatility is based on the historical volatility of comparable
publicly traded companies in the real estate sector over the
most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected life
of the Company’s stock options. The expected life of the
Company’s stock options represents the average between the
vesting and contractual term, pursuant to SAB No. 107.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following
Option valuation models require the input of subjective
assumptions including the expected stock price volatility and
expected life. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005
and 2004, the Company recognized stock-based compensation
related to stock option awards of $379,000, $0 and $0,
respectively. The related income tax benefit for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $148,000, $0 and $0,
respectively. The total fair value of stock options that vested
for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were
$337,000, $0 and $0 respectively. As of December 31, 2006,
there was $632,000 in unrecognized compensation expense related
to stock option awards that the Company expects to recognize as
follows: $337,000 in 2007 and $295,000 in 2008.
Incentive Stock Options. Incentive stock
options, or ISOs, will be designed to comply with the applicable
provisions of the Code relating to ISOs. Among such
restrictions, ISOs must have an exercise price not less than the
fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of
grant, may only be granted to employees, and must not be
exercisable after a period of ten years measured from the date
of grant. ISOs, however, may be subsequently modified to
disqualify them from treatment as ISOs. The total fair market
value of shares (determined as of the respective date or dates
of grant) for which one or more options granted to any employee
by us (including all options granted under the 2006 Plan and all
other four option plans or any parent or subsidiary corporation)
may for the first time become exercisable as ISOs during any one
calendar year shall not exceed the sum of $100,000. To the
extent this limit is exceeded, the options granted will be
NQSOs. In the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns
(or is deemed to own) more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of our stock or any parent or subsidiary
corporation, referred to as a 10% Owner, the 2006 Plan provides
that the exercise price of an ISO must be at least 110% of the
fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of
grant and the ISO must not be exercisable after a period of five
years measured from the date of grant. Like NQSOs, ISOs usually
will become exercisable (in the discretion of the administrator)
in one or more installments after the grant date, subject to the
completion of the applicable vesting service period or the
attainment of pre-established performance goals. No incentive
stock options were awarded for the years ended December 31,2006, 2005 and 2004.
Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation
rights, or SARs, provide for the payment of an amount to the
holder based upon increases in the price of the Company’s
common stock over a set base price. The base price of any SAR
granted under the 2006 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair
market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on
the date of grant. SARs under the 2006 Plan will be settled in
cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, or in a
combination of both, at the election of the administrator. SARs
may be granted in connection with stock options or other awards,
or separately. No stock appreciation right was awarded for the
years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
Deferred Stock Awards. Deferred stock may not
be sold or otherwise hypothecated or transferred until issued.
Deferred stock will not be issued until the deferred stock award
has vested, and recipients of deferred stock generally will have
no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when the vesting
conditions are satisfied and the shares are issued. Deferred
stock awards generally will be forfeited, and the underlying
shares
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
of deferred stock will not be issued, if the applicable vesting
conditions and other restrictions are not met. No deferred stock
was awarded for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and
2004.
Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units
entitle the holder to receive shares of our common stock,
subject to the removal of restrictions which may include
completion of the applicable vesting service period or the
attainment of pre-established performance goals. The issuance of
shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to restricted
stock units may be deferred or delayed beyond the time at which
the restricted stock units vest in accordance with the terms of
any specific award. Restricted stock units may not be sold, or
otherwise hypothecated or transferred, and holders of restricted
stock units do not have voting rights. Restricted stock units
generally will be forfeited, and the underlying shares of stock
will not be issued, if the applicable vesting conditions and
other restrictions are not met. For the year ended
December 31, 2006, the Company granted restricted stock
awards of 615,000 shares, including 575,000 shares and
40,000 shares to executive officers and directors of the
board of the Company, respectively. No restricted stock units
were awarded for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents
represent the value of the dividends per share of our common
stock paid by us, if any, calculated with reference to a
specified number of shares. Dividend equivalent rights may be
granted alone or in connection with stock options, SARs or other
equity awards granted to the participant under the 2006 Plan.
Dividend equivalents may be paid in cash or shares of our common
stock, or in a combination of both, at the election of the
administrator. No dividend equivalents were awarded for the
years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
Performance Awards. Performance awards may be
granted by the administrator to employees, consultants or
non-employee directors based upon, among other things, the
contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the
particular recipient. Generally, these awards will be based on
specific performance goals and may be paid in cash or in shares
of the Company’s common stock, or in a combination of both,
at the election of the administrator. Performance awards may
include “phantom” stock awards that provide for
payments based upon the value of our common stock. Performance
awards may also include bonuses granted by the administrator,
which may be payable in cash or in shares of our common stock,
or in a combination of both. No performance awards were awarded
for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
Stock Payments. Stock payments may be
authorized by the administrator in the form of the
Company’s common stock or an option or other right to
purchase our common stock and may, without limitation, be issued
as part of a deferred compensation arrangement in lieu of all or
any part of compensation — including, without
limitation, salary, bonuses, commissions and directors’
fees — that would otherwise be payable in cash to the
employee, non-employee director or consultant. No stock payments
were awarded for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005
and 2004.
In October 2006, NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. entered into
employment agreements with each of Mr. Peters,
Mr. Rogers, Ms. Biller, Francene LaPoint, Chief
Financial Officer, Mr. Hanson and Mr. Hull. These
agreements provide that each of these executives agree to devote
substantially all of his or her full working time to NNN Realty
Advisors, Inc.’s business. The agreements have a term of
three years, and provide for an annual base salary and bonus
targets under the performance bonus program. Additional benefits
include health benefits and other fringe benefits as the board
or compensation committee determines. Mr. Hanson’s
employment agreement further provides for a special bonus based
on his ability to procure new sources of equity, and
Mr. Peters’ employment agreement further provides for
a moving relocation expense payment of $1,750,000 and
reimbursement for reasonable living expenses.
Other stock award. On September 20, 2006,
the Company awarded Mr. Peters a bonus of $2.1 million,
which is payable in approximately 202,000 shares of our
common stock, representing a 0.5% ownership in the Company for a
value of $1.3 million, and cash of $854,000.

Other Equity Awards — In accordance with
SFAS No. 123R, share-based payments awarded to an
employee of the reporting entity by a related party, or other
holder of an economic interest in the entity, as compensation
for services provided to the entity are share-based payment
transactions to be accounted for under this Statement unless the
transfer is clearly for a purpose other than compensation for
services to the reporting entity. The economic interest holder
is one who either owns 10.0% or more of an entity’s common
stock or has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control or
significantly influence the entity. The substance of such a
transaction is that the economic interest holder makes a capital
contribution to the reporting entity, and that entity makes a
share-based payment to its employee in exchange for services
rendered. SFAS No. 123R also requires that the fair
value of unvested stock options or awards granted by an acquirer
in exchange for stock options or awards held by employees of the
acquiree shall be determined at the consummation date of the
acquisition. The incremental compensation cost shall be
(1) the portion of the grant-date fair value of the
original award for which the requisite service is expected to be
rendered (or has already been rendered) at that date plus
(2) the incremental cost resulting from the acquisition
(the fair market value at the consummation date of the
acquisition over the fair value of the original grant).
On July 29, 2006, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers
agreed to transfer up to 15.0% of the outstanding common stock
of Realty to Jeffrey T. Hanson, the Company’s Chief
Investment Officer, assuming he remained employed by the
Company, in equal increments on July 29, 2007, 2008 and
2009. Due to the acquisition of Realty, the transfers will be
settled with 844,500 shares of the Company’s common
stock (633,375 shares from Mr. Thompson and
211,125 shares from Mr. Rogers). Since
Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers were affiliates who owned
more than 10.0% of Realty’s common stock and had the
ability, directly or indirectly, to control or significantly
influence the entity, and the award was granted to
Mr. Hanson in exchange for services provided to Realty
which are vested upon completion of the respective service
period, the fair value of the award was accounted for as
stock-based compensation in accordance with
SFAS No. 123R. As a result, the Company recognized
$333,000 in stock-based compensation for the year ended
December 31, 2006 and a related income tax benefit
(deferred tax asset) of $130,000. As of December 31, 2006,
there was $6.9 million of unrecognized stock-based
compensation related to the unvested portion of the award that
the Company expects to recognize as follows: $2.7 million
in 2007, $2.7 million in 2008 and $1.5 million in 2009.
401(K) Plan — In 1998, the Company adopted a
401(k) plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of its
employees. The Plan covers employees of the Company and
eligibility begins the first of the month following the hire
date. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
the Company contributed $525,000, $409,000 and $295,000 to the
Plan, respectively.

INCOME
TAXES
Prior to the 144A offering, Triple Net Properties was organized
and operated as a limited liability company for income tax
purposes. Accordingly, its members, rather than Triple Net
Properties, were subject to federal and state income taxes on
their respective share of Triple Net Properties’ taxable
income.
Effective with the close of the 144A offering, Triple Net
Properties became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This
caused a change in the Triple Net Properties’ tax status
from a non-taxable limited liability company to a taxable C
corporation. The change in tax status required the Company to
recognize a one time non-cash credit of $2.9 million to its
income tax provision for the future tax effects attributable to
temporary differences between financial and tax accounting
principles as of the effective date of November 15, 2006.
The acquisition of Realty caused the Company to record both
non-amortizable
goodwill and amortizable intangible assets. These intangible
assets are
non-amortizable
for income tax purposes. Therefore, the Company recorded a
deferred tax liability of $8.2 million for the value of the
intangible assets.
Prior to its acquisition by the Company, Realty had elected to
be taxed as an S corporation for federal and state income tax
purposes. Under this election, its shareholders, rather than
Realty, were subject to federal
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
and state income taxes on their respective share of the
Company’s taxable income. The acquisition caused a
revocation of the S election effective November 16, 2006.
As a result of the revocation, the Company is subject to federal
and state income taxes at the corporate level at statutory rates.
The acquisition of Capital Corp. caused the Company to record
non-amortizable
goodwill of approximately $14.5 million. Prior to the
acquisition, Capital Corp. was a C corporation.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets,
management considers whether it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during
the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of
deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and
tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon
the level of historical taxable income and projections for
future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax
assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely
than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these
deductible differences. The amount of deferred tax assets
considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the future
if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
In February 2007, the Company entered into a $25.0 million
revolving line of credit with LaSalle Bank, N.A. to replace the
$10.0 million revolving line of credit. This line of credit
consists of $10.0 million for acquisitions and
$15.0 million for general corporate purposes and bears
interest at prime rate plus 0.50% or three-month LIBOR plus
1.50%, at our option and matures February 20, 2010. The
Company paid $100,000 in loan fees relating to the revolving
line of credit. There have been no funds drawn on this line as
of March 31, 2007.
Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Company guaranteed an
additional 14 loans for properties under management with
approximately $366.7 million in total principal outstanding
secured by properties with a total aggregate purchase price of
approximately $434.1 million at March 31, 2007. Of the
additional $366.7 million in total principal outstanding
guaranteed $26.0 million was in the form of mezzanine debt.
On January 22, 2007, the Company sold the Southpointe
Office Park property located in Indianapolis, Indiana to NNN
Healthcare/Office REIT Holdings, L.P., a related party, for a
sale price of $14.8 million. Our net cash proceeds were
$132,000 after payment of the related mezzanine loan, closing
costs and other transaction expenses, and the return of lender
required reserves. A property disposition fee of $444,000, or
3.0% of the sales price, was received by Realty.
On January 22, 2007, we sold the Crawfordsville Medical
Office Park property located in Crawfordsville, Indiana to NNN
Healthcare/Office REIT Holdings, L.P., a related party, for a
sale price of $6.9 million. Our net cash proceeds were
$69,000 after payment of the related mezzanine loan, closing
costs and other transaction expenses, and the return of lender
required reserves. A property disposition fee of $207,000, or
3.0% of the sales price, was received by Realty.

PROFORMA
INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
The pro forma unaudited income tax adjustments presented
represent taxes which would have been reported had the Company
been subject to Federal and state income taxes as a C
corporation. The pro forma provision for income taxes differs
from the statutory income tax rate due to the following:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc. and subsidiary (collectively,
“Realty”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and
the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
Realty’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. Realty is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, and audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of Realty’s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Realty as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., was formed as a California S
Corporation on July 6, 1998 and had one wholly-owned
subsidiary (hereinafter collectively referred to as
“Realty”). As of September 30, 2006, Realty was
75.0% owned by Anthony W. Thompson, Realty’s president and
director, and was 25.0% owned by Louis J. Rogers, Realty’s
secretary and director. Pursuant to Realty’s articles of
incorporation, Realty is authorized to issue one class of stock
up to 10,000 shares. As of September 30, 2006,
December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were 10,000 shares
issued and outstanding.
Realty, a related party to Triple Net Properties, LLC, serves as
a real estate broker in property acquisitions and dispositions
and as a property manager in California and a number of other
jurisdictions.
As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, Realty owned one
subsidiary, NNN City Center West B Leaseco, LLC, a master leasee
of an office property, City Center West B. The master lease
agreement was terminated in April 2006.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation — The consolidated
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”). The following is a summary of significant
principles used in the preparation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Consolidation — The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Realty
and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Payments to Stockholders — Payments made to the
stockholders have been reflected in the financial statements as
both compensation costs in the consolidated statements of
operations and dividends in the consolidated statements of
stockholders’ equity.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Interim Financial Data — The accompanying
interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP. However, the unaudited interim financial statements
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying
unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which
are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary
for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Interim
results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year; such results may be
less favorable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash
equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased.
Restricted Cash/Reserves — Restricted
cash/reserves is comprised of loan impound and reserve accounts
for property taxes, insurance, capital improvements and tenant
improvements.
Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable
consist primarily of fees earned from real estate management and
broker services, such as commissions earned from acquisitions
and dispositions of real estate properties, lease commissions
and property management fees. Realty collects property
management fees and certain
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
leasing commissions. After paying third-party property managers
and third party leasing brokers, the remaining amount is
remitted to Triple Net Properties under the terms of an
income — allocation agreement. As such, the amount
reflected as accounts receivable consists of Realty’s share
of the real estate commissions and the portion of receivables
that Realty will ultimately remit to third-parties for leasing
and property management services.
Revenue Recognition — Realty receives payments
as a result of certain real estate transactions involving real
estate investor programs sponsored by Triple Net Properties. Of
the real estate commissions paid to Realty, 75.0% are paid to
Triple Net Properties pursuant to the income —
allocation agreement. Accordingly, Realty recognizes 25.0% of
the real estate commissions earned with acquisitions and
disposition of properties, while Triple Net Properties is
entitled to 75.0% of such commissions. Revenue is recorded in
accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”)
Issue
No. 99-19,
Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an
Agent. Real estate commissions are earned and recognized
when the syndication is closed and at the earlier of close of
escrow or transfer of title between buyer and seller. Receipt of
payment occurs at the point at which all services have been
performed, and title to real property has passed from seller to
buyer, if applicable.
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 13, Accounting for Leases,
minimum annual rental revenue is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the related lease
(including rent holidays).
Unbilled deferred rent receivables, which are included in
“Assets of discontinued operations” on the
consolidated balance sheets, represent the amount that
straight-line rental income exceeds rents currently due under
the lease agreement. Included in tenant receivables are tenant
reimbursements, which are comprised of additional amounts
receivable from tenants based on common area maintenance
expenses and certain other expenses that are accrued in the
period in which the related expenses are incurred.
Allowance for Uncollectible Receivables —
Receivables are carried net of management’s estimate of
uncollectible receivables. Management’s determination of
the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon
evaluations of historical loss experience, individual
receivables, current economic conditions and other relevant
factors. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31,2005 and 2004 the allowance for uncollectible receivables was $0.
Property and Equipment and Leasehold
Improvements — Property and equipment are stated
at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the life of the related lease or the estimated service life
of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred, while betterments are
capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of depreciable assets,
the related accounts are relieved, with any resulting gain or
loss included in operations. All property and equipment has been
disposed of as of September 30, 2006 and is included in
“Assets of discontinued operations” on the
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2005 and
2004.
Assets of Discontinued Operations —
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of
Long-Lived
Assets, addresses financial accounting and reporting for the
impairment or disposal of
long-lived
assets and requires that, in a period in which a component of an
entity either has been disposed of or is classified as held for
sale, the income statements for current and prior periods shall
report the results of operations of the component as
discontinued operations. In April 2006, NNN City Center West B
Leaseco, LLC’s master lease agreement with City Center West
B was terminated. As a result, Realty reclassified amounts
related to NNN City Center West B Leaseco, LLC in the
accompanying financial statements to reflect the
reclassification in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
Accordingly, revenues, operating costs and expenses, and other
non-operating results for the discontinued operations of NNN
City Center West B Leaseco, LLC have been excluded from
Realty’s results from
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
continuing operations for all periods presented herein. The
financial results for NNN City Center West B Leaseco, LLC are
presented in Realty’s consolidated statements of operations
in a single line item entitled “Loss from discontinued
operations — net of taxes” and the related assets
and liabilities are presented in the consolidated balance sheets
in “Assets of discontinued operations” and
“Liabilities of discontinued operations.”
Fair Value of Financial Instruments —
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value of
financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of
the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that
value. SFAS No. 107 defines fair value as the quoted
market prices for those instruments that are actively traded in
financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are estimated using present value or
other valuation techniques. The fair value estimates are made at
the end of each year based on available market information and
judgments about the financial instrument, such as estimates of
timing and amount of expected future cash flows. Such estimates
do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
offering for sale at one time Realty’s entire holdings of a
particular financial instrument, nor do they consider that tax
impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many
cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by
comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value
be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of Realty’s financial instruments,
which include cash and cash equivalents, restricted
cash/reserves, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses, property management fees payable, and accrued
compensation approximate their fair values due to short duration
between origination of the instruments and their expected
realization. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of
our accounts receivable from related parties — net,
advances to related parties — net or due to related
parties due to the predominantly related-party nature.
Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial
instruments that potentially subject Realty to a concentration
of credit risk are primarily uninsured
cash-in-bank
balances and accounts receivable. Realty currently maintains
substantially all of its cash with several major financial
institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the
amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Management believes this risk is not significant.
As of December 31, 2005, Realty had a master lease
agreement for one property located in the state of Nevada.
Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject
to fluctuations in that state’s economy. Subleases under
the master lease agreement accounted for 9.2% and 18.2% of the
aggregate total revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, and 17.7% and 24.8% of the
aggregate total revenue for the years ended December 31,2005 and 2004, respectively, which is included in “Loss
from discontinued operations — net of taxes” on
the consolidated statements of operations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and
for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, none of the
tenants under the subleases accounted for 10.0% or more of the
aggregate total revenue.
Income Taxes — Realty accounts for income taxes
in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, which requires the use of an asset and
liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income
taxes are provided to reflect the tax effect of differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax
bases of assets and liabilities. Realty elected to be treated as
an S Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes;
however, Realty is subject to California state franchise taxes
equal to 1.5% of taxable income generated in the state of
California. As a result, taxable income, loss and credits flow
directly to the stockholders, and tax-related assets and
liabilities of Realty are for the benefit of or the obligation
of the stockholders. The deferred tax assets, liabilities and
provision reflected in the consolidated financial statements are
those that do not flow through to the stockholders.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Long-lived
assets are periodically evaluated for potential impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its
carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
event that periodic assessments reflect that the carrying amount
of the asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
(excluding interest) that are expected to result from the use
and eventual disposition of the asset, Realty would recognize an
impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeded the
fair value of the property. Realty estimates the fair value
using available market information or other industry valuation
techniques such as present value calculations. Assets to be
disposed of are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or
fair value less costs to sell. Such assets are not depreciated
while held for sale. There were no impaired assets as of
September 30, 2006 and as of December 31, 2005 and
2004.
Segment Disclosure — Realty internally
evaluates operations as one segment and therefore does not
report segment information.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R),
Share — Based Payment, effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123(R)
requires mandatory reporting of all stock-based compensation
awards on a fair value basis of accounting. Generally, companies
will be required to calculate the fair value of all stock awards
and amortize that fair value as compensation expense over the
vesting period of the awards. The adoption of SFAS
No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 did not have a
significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections — a Replacement of APB
Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3.
SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the
accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle by
requiring retrospective application to prior periods’
financial statements of the change in accounting principle,
unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also
requires that a change in depreciation or amortization for
long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate effected by a change in change in accounting
principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting
changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005. The adoption of
SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006 did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified its consensus in EITF Issue
04-05,
Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General
Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar
Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights
(“Issue
04-05”).
The effective date for Issue
04-05 was
June 29, 2005, for all new or modified partnerships and
January 1, 2006, for all other partnerships for the
applicable provisions. The adoption of the provisions of Issue
04-05 on
January 1, 2006 did not have significant effect on our
consolidated financial statements.
In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(“FSP”) Nos. SFAS
No. 115-1
and
SFAS No. 124-1
which addresses the determination as to when an investment is
considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than
temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP
also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the
recognition of an
other-than-temporary
impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized
losses that have not been recognized as
other-than-temporary
impairments. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statement
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities. The adoption of FSP Nos. SFAS
No. 115-1
and SFAS
No. 124-1
on January 1, 2006 did not have a significant effect on our
consolidated financial statements.

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, Realty is party to claims and legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
Management evaluates Realty’s exposure to cases
individually and in the aggregate and provides for potential
losses on such litigation if the amount of loss is estimable and
probable. Management believes that there are no pending
litigation matters at the current time that have not already
been disclosed herein that are material. However, litigation is
inherently uncertain and no assurance can be given that any
current or future litigation will not result in a loss that
might be material to Realty.
Environmental Obligations — In Realty’s
role as property manager, it could incur liability for the
investigation or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances or
wastes at properties Realty currently or formerly managed or at
off-site locations where wastes were disposed. Realty is not
aware of any environmental liability or unasserted claim or
assessment relating to an environmental liability that we
believe would require disclosure or the recording of a loss
contingency.
Real Estate Licensing Issues — Although Realty
was required to have real estate licenses in all of the states
in which it acted as a broker for Triple Net Properties’
programs and received real estate commissions, Realty did not
hold a license in certain of those states when it earned fees
for those services. In addition, almost all of Triple Net
Properties’ revenue was based on an arrangement with Realty
to share fees from the programs. Triple Net Properties did not
hold a real estate license in any state, although most states in
which properties of the Company’s programs were located may
have required Triple Net Properties to hold a license. As a
result, Realty may be subject to penalties, such as fines (which
could be a multiple of the amount received), restitution
payments and termination of management agreements, and to the
suspension or revocation of Realty’s real estate broker
licenses. To date, there have been no claims, and Realty cannot
assess or estimate whether it will incur any losses as a result
of the foregoing.
To the extent that Realty incurs any liability arising from the
failure to comply with real estate broker licensing requirements
in certain states, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Rogers and
Mr. Hanson have agreed to forfeit to NNN Realty Advisors,
Inc. up to an aggregate of 4,686,500 shares of NNN Realty
Advisors, Inc. common stock, and each share will be deemed to
have a value of $10.00 per share in satisfying this
obligation. Mr. Thompson has agreed to indemnify NNN Realty
Advisors, Inc., to the extent the liability incurred by Realty
for such matters exceeds the deemed $46,865,000 value of these
shares, up to an additional $9,435,000 in cash. In connection
with this arrangement, NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. has entered
into an indemnification and escrow agreement with
Mr. Thompson, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Hanson, an
independent escrow agent and NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., pursuant
to which the escrow agent will hold 4,686,500 shares of its
common stock that are otherwise issuable to Mr. Thompson
and Mr. Rogers in connection with the NNN Realty Advisors,
Inc. formation transactions (3,279,000 shares for
Mr. Thompson and 1,407,500 shares for Mr. Rogers)
to secure Mr. Thompson’s and Mr. Rogers’
obligations to NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. with respect to these
matters.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Mr. Thompson’s and Mr. Rogers’ liability
under this arrangement will not exceed the sum of the value of
their shares in the escrow except to the extent
Mr. Thompson may be obliged to indemnify NNN Realty
Advisors, Inc. for excess liabilities up to an additional
$9,435,000 in cash. Since Mr. Hanson is entitled over time
to receive up to 844,500 shares from Messrs. Thompson
and Rogers (633,375 from Mr. Thompson and 211,125 from
Mr. Rogers) from the shares held in the indemnification and
escrow agreement, he is a party to it as well and his liability
is limited to those shares. If Mr. Hanson’s right to
receive the shares vests, then to the extent shares attributable
to his ownership are available, and not subject to potential
claims, under the indemnification and escrow agreement, he will
be permitted to remove 100,000 shares on each of
January 1, 2008 and 2009 to pay taxes. We cannot assure you
that at the time of any claim under this agreement the shares
will still be worth $10.00 per share.
In addition, to the extent that NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. pays
the SEC an amount in excess of $1.0 million in connection
with any settlement or other resolution of its investigation,
Mr. Thompson has agreed to forfeit to NNN Realty Advisors,
Inc. shares of NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. common stock having an
aggregate value, equal to such excess amount, and each share
will be deemed to have a value of $10.00 per share in
satisfying this obligation. In connection with this arrangement,
NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. has entered into an escrow agreement
with Mr. Thompson, an independent escrow agent and us
pursuant to which the escrow agent will hold
1,210,000 shares of its common stock that are otherwise
issuable to Mr. Thompson in connection with the formation
transactions to secure Mr. Thompson’s obligations.
Mr. Thompson’s liability under this arrangement will
not exceed the shares in the escrow. NNN Realty Advisors, Inc.
cannot assure you that at the time of any claim under this
agreement the shares will still be worth $10.00 per share.
Guarantee — In September 2006, Realty
guaranteed a $27.5 million participating loan credit
agreement that Triple Net Properties entered into with Wachovia
Bank, N.A. This debt was repaid in November 2006 with proceeds
from the 144A private equity offering.

DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS
NNN City Center West B Leaseco, LLC was a master lessee of
office space in Las Vegas, Nevada. In January 2006, City Center
West B property became held for sale and was subsequently sold
in April 2006. At the time of sale, NNN City Center West B
Leaseco, LLC’s master lease agreement with City Center West
B was terminated and all rights and obligations immediately
vested to City Center West B, including all subleases from and
after the effective date of the termination. As such, in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, income (loss) and gain
on disposition, net of taxes, of NNN City Center West B Leaseco,
LLC are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations
as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Rent
expense under the master lease agreement approximated $486,000
and $1.5 million and $2.2 million and
$2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,2006 and 2005 and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively, and is included in the consolidated
statements of operations in “Loss from discontinued

STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION
On January 31, 2005, August 15, 2005, August 15,2006 and September 20, 2006, Anthony W. Thompson granted
Louis J. Rogers a 12.0%, a 4.0%, a 4.0% and a 5.0% interest,
respectively, in Realty. Since Mr. Thompson is an
affiliate, these grants are treated as being made by Realty. As
a result of such grants and the payments by Realty of related
income taxes, Realty recorded $4.5 million,
$4.0 million and $4.0 million in compensation expense
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and
for the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, which
is reflected in the line item “Compensation costs” in
the consolidated statements of operations.
Realty engaged an independent valuation specialist to perform
the valuation of the grants. The market comparable approach was
used to estimate the value of Realty at each date on which the
stock was granted based on a multiple of earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. A multiple was
selected
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
based on valuations involving similar companies in acquisition
transactions. The results of the market multiple approach were
then discounted to account for the illiquidity and minority
interest position of the securities issued at the time of the
grant.
The determination of the fair value of Realty’s stock
involved significant judgments, assumptions, estimates and
complexities that impacted the amount of stock-based
compensation recorded. Management believes reasonable
methodologies, approaches and assumptions have been used to
determine the fair value of Realty’s stock. If any of the
assumptions used change significantly, stock-based compensation
expense may differ materially in the future.
Other Equity Awards — In accordance with
SFAS No. 123R, share-based payments awarded to an
employee of the reporting entity by a related party, or other
holder of an economic interest in the entity, as compensation
for services provided to the entity are share-based payment
transactions to be accounted for under this Statement unless the
transfer is clearly for a purpose other than compensation for
services to the reporting entity. The economic interest holder
is one who either owns 10.0% or more of an entity’s common
stock or has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control or
significantly influence the entity. The substance of such a
transaction is that the economic interest holder makes a capital
contribution to the reporting entity, and that entity makes a
share-based payment to its employee in exchange for services
rendered. SFAS No. 123R also requires that the fair
value of unvested stock options or awards granted by an acquirer
in exchange for stock options or awards held by employees of the
acquiree shall be determined at the consummation date of the
acquisition. The incremental compensation cost shall be
(1) the portion of the grant-date fair value of the
original award for which the requisite service is expected to be
rendered (or has already been rendered) at that date plus
(2) the incremental cost resulting from the acquisition
(the fair market value at the consummation date of the
acquisition over the fair value of the original grant).
On July 29, 2006, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers
agreed to transfer up to 15.0% of the outstanding common stock
of Realty to Jeffrey T. Hanson, President and CEO of Realty,
assuming he remained employed by Realty, in equal increments on
July 29, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Since Mr. Thompson and
Mr. Rogers were affiliates who owned more than 10.0% of
Realty’s common stock and had the ability, directly or
indirectly, to control or significantly influence the entity,
and the award was granted to Mr. Hanson in exchange for
services provided to Realty which are vested upon completion of
the respective service period, the fair value of the award was
accounted for as stock-based compensation in accordance with
SFAS No. 123R. As a result, Realty recognized $234,000
in stock-based compensation for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., was organized as a corporation in the
State of Delaware in September 2006, was formed to acquire each
of Realty, Triple Net Properties and NNN Capital Corp. to bring
the businesses conducted by those companies under one corporate
umbrella and to facilitate an offering pursuant to
Rule 144A of the Securities Act (“the 144A
offering”) which transactions are collectively referred to
as “the formation transactions.”. To accomplish this,
NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. entered into the following
transactions on November 16, 2006:
•
TNP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
wholly-owned subsidiary of NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., entered
into an agreement and plan of merger with Triple Net Properties,
owned by Anthony W. Thompson, Louis J. Rogers, Scott D. Peters
and a number of other employees and third-party investors. In
connection with the merger agreement, Triple Net Properties
entered into contribution agreements with the holders of a
majority of the common membership interests of Triple Net
Properties. Under the merger agreement and the contribution
agreements, Triple Net Properties issued 19,741,407 shares
of common stock (to the accredited investor members) and
$986,000 in cash to the unaccredited investor members in lieu of
0.5% of the shares of common stock in NNN Realty Advisors, Inc.
they would have otherwise been entitled to receive, which was
valued at the offering
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
price to investors in the 144A offering, in exchange for all the
common member interests. Concurrently with the closing of the
144A offering, the acquisition of Triple Net Properties was
consummated and Triple Net Properties survived the merger and
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NNN Realty Advisors, Inc.
•
NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. entered into a contribution agreement
with Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers pursuant to which
they contributed all of the outstanding shares of Realty to NNN
Realty Advisors, Inc. in exchange for 4,686,500 shares of
common stock in NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. and, with respect to
Mr. Thompson, $9.4 million in cash in lieu of the
shares of NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. he would have otherwise been
entitled to receive, which were valued at the offering price to
investors in the 144A offering. Concurrently with the closing of
the 144A offering, the acquisition was consummated and Realty
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NNN Realty Advisors, Inc.
NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. did not obtain any representations or
indemnities from any of the owners of Triple Net Properties,
other than Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rogers, for
liabilities associated with Triple Net Properties arising from
events or circumstances occurring or existing prior to the
formation transactions. Additionally, NNN Realty Advisors, Inc.
obtained very limited representations and indemnities from the
owners of Realty and NNN Capital Corp. for the operations of,
and liabilities associated with, those companies arising from
events or circumstances occurring or existing prior to the
formation transactions. NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. has no
assurance that any contributing party providing these limited
representations or indemnities will have adequate capital to
fulfill its indemnity obligations. NNN Realty Advisors, Inc,
suffers harm due to any of the operations or liabilities of
Triple Net Properties, Realty or NNN Capital Corp. relating to
periods prior to the formation transactions.
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and
certain expenses of Southpointe Office Parke and Epler
Parke I, or the Property, for the year ended
December 31, 2006. This statement of revenues and certain
expenses is the responsibility of the Property’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
statement of revenues and certain expenses based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the statement of revenues and certain
expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain expenses,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the statement of revenues and certain expenses.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as
described in Note 1 to the statement of revenues and
certain expenses and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Property’s revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain expenses
presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and
certain expenses as described in Note 1 to the statement of
revenues and certain expenses of Southpointe Office Parke and
Epler Parke I for the year ended December 31, 2006, in
conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses
includes the operations of Southpointe Office Parke and Epler
Parke I, or the Property, located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The Property has 97,000 square feet of gross leaseable area
and is 95% leased as of December 31, 2006.
Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses has
been prepared for the purpose of complying with the provisions
of
Article 3-14
of
Regulation S-X
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the
SEC, which requires certain information with respect to real
estate operations to be included with certain filings with the
SEC. The statement of revenues and certain expenses includes the
historical revenues and certain operating expenses of the
Property, exclusive of items which may not be comparable to the
proposed future operations of the Property. Material amounts
that would not be directly attributable to future operating
results of the Property are excluded, and therefore, the
statement of revenues and certain expenses is not intended to be
a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and
expenses. Items excluded consist of interest expense,
depreciation and amortization and federal and state income taxes.
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses is
not representative of the actual operations for the period
presented, as certain expenses that may not be comparable to the
expenses expected to be incurred by NNN Healthcare/Office REIT
Holdings, L.P. in the future operations of the Property have
been excluded.

costs are recognized in the period that the expenses are
incurred.
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ materially from those estimates.

TENANT CONCENTRATION
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Property had one
tenant occupying 14% of the gross leaseable area which accounted
for 17% of total rental income.
If this tenant were to default on its lease, future revenue of
the Property would be materially and adversely impacted.
NOTE 5 —
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Property may be subject to legal claims in the ordinary
course of business as a property owner. Management believes that
the ultimate settlement of any potential claims will not have a
material impact on the Property’s results of operations.
Environmental
Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate,
the Property may be potentially liable for costs and damages
related to environmental matters. The Property has not been
notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance,
liability or other claim, and management is not aware of any
other environmental condition that it believes will have a
material adverse effect on the Property’s results of
operations.
Other
Matters
Other commitments and contingencies include the usual
obligations of a real estate property in the normal course of
business. In the opinion of management, these matters are not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Property’s financial position
and/or
results of operations.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues and
certain expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain
expenses, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the statement of revenues and
certain expenses. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as
described in Note 1 to the statement of revenues and
certain expenses and is not intended to be a complete

INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
we can indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities
they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). Our bylaws (Exhibit 3.3 to this registration
statement) provide that we may indemnify our directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and allow us to
advance litigation expenses upon our receipt of an undertaking
by the director or officer to repay such advances if it is
ultimately determined that the director or officer is not
entitled to indemnification. Our bylaws further provide that
rights conferred under such bylaws do not exclude any other
right such persons may have or acquire under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise.
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended (Exhibits 3.1
and 3.2 to this registration statement) provides that, pursuant
to Delaware law, our directors shall not be liable for monetary
damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care
to us and our stockholders. This provision in the certificate of
incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in
appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive
or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available
under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to
be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty
of loyalty to us or our stockholders, for acts or omissions not
in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing
violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal
benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or
approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful
under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a
director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as
the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental
laws.
Our certificate of incorporation further provides that we are
authorized to indemnify our directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by law through the bylaws, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability
prior to this offering.
We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and
certain of our officers in addition to the indemnification
provided for in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
These agreements will, among other things, indemnify our
directors and some of our officers for certain expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and settlement
amounts incurred by such person in any action or proceeding,
including any action by or in our right, on account of services
by that person as a director or officer of NNN Realty Advisors
or as a director or officer of any of our subsidiaries, or as a
director or officer of any other company or enterprise that the
person provides services to at our request.
The following is a summary of our transactions since our
inception in September 2006, involving sales of our securities
that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended:
(1) In November 2006, we issued 16 million shares of
common stock to various investors in our 144A private equity
offering at an offering price of $10 per share. Friedman,
Billings, Ramsey & Co., Inc. acted as initial
purchaser / placement agent in connection with this offering.
(2) From November 2006 to January 2006, we granted options
to purchase an aggregate of 903,000 shares of common stock
to our employees (including our executive officers) under our
2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $10 per
share. In November 2006, we also granted 615,000 shares of
restricted stock to our executive officers and non-employee
directors.
(3) In November 2006 we acquired Triple Net Properties, LLC
and Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc. and in December 2006 we
acquired NNN Capital Corp., each through contribution agreements
that we entered into with the holders of outstanding stock or
membership units of each of these entities. Pursuant to the
contribution agreements, we issued shares of our common stock in
exchange for shares of common stock or membership units held by
the existing holders, except that, with respect to Triple Net
Properties, LLC, we cashed out the unaccredited investor members
in lieu of issuing shares of our common stock and with respect
to one executive officer, we issued cash in lieu of shares for a
portion of his ownership. In connection with these transactions,
we issued an aggregate of 25,751,407 shares of our common
stock.
The issuances of securities in the transactions described in
paragraph 1 above were effected without registration under
the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof or
Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder based on the
status of each investor as an accredited investor as defined
under the Securities Act. The issuances of securities in the
transactions described in paragraph 2 above were effected
without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on
Section 4(2) thereof or Rule 701 thereunder as
transactions pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and
contracts relating to compensation. The issuances of securities
in the transactions described in paragraph 3 above were
effected without registration under the Securities Act in
reliance on Section 3(a)(9) or Section 4(2) thereof as
transactions based on the status of each investor as an
accredited investor as defined under the Securities Act and the
fact that the shares were issued in exchange for existing
equity. None of the foregoing transactions was effected using
any form of general advertising or general solicitation as such
terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
The recipients of securities in each such transaction either
received adequate information about us or had access, through
their relationships with us, to such information.

ITEM 17.
UNDERTAKINGS
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the calculation of
Registration Fee table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or
is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of the
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) For the purpose of determining liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is
subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to
an offering, other than registration statements relying on
Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on
Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in
the registration statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will,
as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in
the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the
registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such date of first use.
(5) For the purpose of determining liability of the
registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser to
the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell
the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered
or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to
the purchasers and will be considered to offer or sell such
securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used
or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus
relating to the offering containing material information about
the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on
behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the
offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424
(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933,
shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of
the time it was declared effective.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the registrant has duly caused this registration
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized in the City of Santa Ana, State of
California, on this
7th
day of May, 2007.
