PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This summary highlights certain information about us and this offering. This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and the related notes and other financial information contained in this prospectus, before you decide to invest in our common stock. In this prospectus, references to “NNN Realty Advisors,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, including Triple Net Properties, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., a California corporation, and NNN Capital Corp., a California corporation, unless otherwise stated or the context indicates otherwise.
 
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


1



Table of Contents

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


2



Table of Contents

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.
 
Risks Related to Our Business and Strategy
 
You should carefully consider the risks and other factors 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;
 
  •  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 or 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 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;
 
  •  our dependence on third-party financing for the properties in our programs;
 
  •  termination or cancellation of our advisory agreements with our public non-traded REIT programs; and
 
  •  volatility of the capital real estate markets.
 
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.

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

Table of Contents

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

Table of Contents

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

Table of Contents

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;


12



Table of Contents

 
  •  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.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
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.
 
DIVIDEND POLICY
 
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.

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

Table of Contents

 
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

28



Table of Contents

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.

Expense Overview
 
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


30



Table of Contents

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.

Discontinued Operations
 
During 2006, we acquired four properties to resell to one of our sponsored programs, one of which was resold to a joint venture 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.

Transaction Services Expense
 
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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Current Sources of Capital and Liquidity
 
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.
 
Cash Flow
 
Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005
 
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.
 
As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents increased $101.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $102.2 million as of December 31, 2006, compared to $548,000 as of December 31, 2005.
 
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004
 
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.
 
As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $548,000 as of December 31, 2005, compared to $1.9 million as of December 31, 2004.
 
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.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
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 to Realty and Capital Corp. and includes his $450,000 expected compensation as Chairman of NNN Realty Advisors, and (2) eliminates the $3.6 million compensation of Mr. Rogers, another executive officer of Realty and Triple Net Properties, and includes his $550,000 expected annual compensation that he began receiving after our 144A private equity offering under his new contractual arrangement with NNN Realty Advisors as an executive officer of Triple Net Properties. This adjustment also includes compensation

BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
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.
 
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

Table of Contents

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


54



Table of Contents

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.
 
Fees and Services
 
The following chart summarizes the range of fees we typically earn for our significant transaction and management services in our TIC programs and public non-traded REIT programs.

Transaction Services
 
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


57



Table of Contents

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


58



Table of Contents

 
  •  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


59

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.

Table of Contents

 
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.

Table of Contents

 
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.

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.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
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

Table of Contents

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

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.

Long-Term Equity Incentives
 
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.

Table of Contents

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.

Termination and Change of Control Benefits
 
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.

(1) 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.

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


78



Table of Contents

 
  •  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:
 
  •  the liquidation or dissolution of the company;
 
  •  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.

(1) 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.

(6) 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).
 
(10) 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


82



Table of Contents

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


83



Table of Contents

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

Table of Contents

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.


85



Table of Contents

 
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;


86



Table of Contents

 
  •  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.

DESCRIPTION OF INDEBTEDNESS
 
LaSalle Line of Credit
 
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.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
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.

PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
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.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
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.


95



Table of Contents

 
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.
 
Charter and Bylaw Provisions
 
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.

SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
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.


97



Table of Contents

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


98



Table of Contents

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.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS
 
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


100



Table of Contents

disposition of our common stock arising 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


101



Table of Contents

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.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
General
 
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


103



Table of Contents

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Stockholders of
NNN Realty Advisors, Inc:
 
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.
