ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Bluerock
Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc. (“We” or the “Company”) was incorporated on
July 25, 2008 under the laws of the state of Maryland. If we meet the
qualification requirements, we intend to elect to be treated as a real estate
investment trust or REIT for Federal income tax purposes. We were incorporated
to raise capital and acquire a diverse portfolio of residential real estate
assets. Our day-to-day operations are managed by Bluerock Enhanced
Multifamily Advisor, LLC, or our advisor, under an advisory
agreement. The current term of the advisory agreement ends October
14, 2010 and may be renewed by our board of directors for an unlimited number of
successive one-year periods. Our advisor is affiliated with us in
that we and our advisor have common ownership and management. The use
of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust,
Inc. and its subsidiary Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Holdings, L.P., or our
operating partnership, except where the context otherwise requires.
On August 22, 2008, the Company filed a
registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) to offer a maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares and a minimum of
$2,500,000 in shares of our common stock in our primary offering, at an offering
price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain categories of
purchasers (our “Initial Public Offering”). We also are offering up
to $285,000,000 in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at
$9.50 per share. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on
October 15, 2009 and we have retained Select Capital Corporation to serve as the
dealer manager of the offering. The dealer manager is responsible for
marketing our shares in the ongoing Initial Public Offering. As of
May 20, 2010, we had received gross offering proceeds sufficient to satisfy the
minimum offering amount for the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly we broke
escrow with respect to subscriptions received from all states in which our
shares are currently being offered. As of August 3, 2010, we had
accepted aggregate gross offering proceeds of $4,374,547.
We intend to use substantially all of
the net proceeds from the ongoing Initial Public Offering to invest in a diverse
portfolio of real estate and real estate-related assets. As of August
3, 2010, we own, through joint venture partnerships, three multifamily real
estate properties discussed in detail in Note 6 (Investments in Real
Estate).
2. INTERIM
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for
interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules
and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules
and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to
prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June
30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2010.
The
balance sheet at December 31, 2009, has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and
disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For
further information refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2009 contained in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31,
2010.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles
of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
We intend
to operate in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which our wholly owned
subsidiary, Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership, which we refer to as our “Operating Partnership”, or wholly owned
subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, will own substantially all of the
properties acquired on our behalf.
Because
we are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and have unilateral
control over its management and major operating decisions (even if additional
limited partners are admitted to our operating partnership), the accounts of our
operating partnership are consolidated in our company’s consolidated financial
statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions will be
eliminated in consolidation. The Company will consider future
majority owned and controlled joint ventures for consolidation in accordance
with the provisions required by the Consolidation Topic of the FASB
ASC.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These
reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior
periods.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company will recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements and contractual
fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over
the term of the related lease, and amounts expected to be received in later
years will be recorded as deferred rents. The Company will record expense
reimbursements due from tenants for utilities in the period the related expenses
are incurred.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may
include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at
cost, which approximates fair value. There are no restrictions on the
use of the Company’s cash as of June 30, 2010.
Restricted
Cash
Restricted cash consists primarily of
real estate tax, insurance and capital expenditure escrows required under
mortgage loan terms and separate cash accounts related to tenant security
deposits.
Real
Estate Assets
Real
Estate Acquisition Valuation
The
Company records the acquisition of income-producing real estate or real estate
that will be used for the production of income as a business combination. All
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
at their acquisition-date fair values, acquisition costs are expensed as
incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability
at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition
date. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company acquired
interests in two real estate assets and recorded each acquisition as a business
combination and expensed $576,125 of acquisition costs.
Estimates
of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed
liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate
market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up
periods, discount rates, market absorption periods (the rate at which a market
can absorb additional units of supply), and the number of years the property
will be held

for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of the Company’s acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of the Company’s net income.
Depreciation
Real
estate costs related to the acquisition, development, construction, and
improvement of properties will be capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs will
be charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and improvements
will be capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not
extend the useful life of the real estate asset. The Company considers the
period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life.
The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class to be
generally as follows:
Buildings
25-40 years
Building
improvements
10-25 years
Land
improvements 20-25
years
Tenant
origination and absorption costs Remaining term of
related lease
Impairment
of Real Estate Assets
The
Company will continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could
indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible
assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment suggest
that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets may not be
recoverable, the Company will assess the recoverability of the assets by
estimating whether the Company will recover the carrying value of the asset
through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If
based on this analysis the Company does not believe that it will be able to
recover the carrying value of the asset, the Company will record an impairment
loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of
the asset as required by the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long
Lived Assets Topic of the FASB ASC. The company did not record any
impairment loss on its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities
during the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Rents
and Other Receivables
The
Company will periodically evaluate the collectability of amounts due from
tenants and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under lease
agreements. The Company will maintain an allowance for deferred rent receivable
that arises from the straight-lining of rents. The Company will exercise
judgment in establishing these allowances and consider payment history and
current credit status of its tenants in developing these estimates.
Deferred
Financing Costs
Deferred
financing costs represent commitment fees, loan fees, legal fees and other
third-party costs associated with obtaining financing. These costs are amortized
over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the interest method.
Unamortized deferred financing costs are generally expensed when the associated
debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking
financings that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is
determined that the financing will not close. As of June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, the Company’s deferred financing costs were
$648,896 and $175,530, respectively, net of amortization.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions
of the Equity Topic of the FASB ASC. This topic established a fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based compensation and requires the fair value of
stock-based compensation awards to amortize as an expense over the vesting
period and requires any dividend equivalents earned to be treated as dividends
for financial reporting purposes. Stock-based compensation awards are
valued at the fair value on the date of grant and amortized as an expense over
the vesting period. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 2,500
shares of stock were awarded to each of the three independent directors after
their reelection to the board during the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders
held March 15, 2010.

Concentration
of Credit Risk
We invest
our cash and cash equivalents among several banking institutions and money
market accounts in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities.
As of June 30, 2010 , we had cash and cash equivalents deposited in certain
financial institutions in excess of federally-insured levels. We regularly
monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions and believe that
we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash
equivalents.
Organization
and Offering Costs
Organization
and offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) of
the Company may be paid by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates
on behalf of the Company. Other offering costs include all expenses to be
incurred by the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering.
Organization costs include all expenses to be incurred by the Company in
connection with the formation of the Company, including but not limited to legal
fees and other costs to incorporate the Company.
Pursuant
to the Advisory Agreement and the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company is
obligated to reimburse the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates, as
applicable, for organization and other offering costs paid by them on behalf of
the Company, provided that the Advisor would be obligated to reimburse the
Company to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization
and other offering costs incurred by the Company in the Initial Public Offering
exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds. As a result, these costs are only a
liability of the Company to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees
and organization and other offering costs incurred by the Company do not exceed
15% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering.
As of
June 30, 2010 the Advisor has incurred, on behalf of the Company, organization
and offering costs of approximately $3.6 million.. The Company met the minimum
number of shares in the Initial Public Offering on May 20, 2010 and the costs
paid by the Advisor on the Company’s behalf became a liability to the Company to
the extent selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization
and offering costs do not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public
Offering. Gross offering proceeds as of June 30, 2010 were $3,557,097
and as such $177,855 was recognized as a liability to the
Company. When recorded by the Company, organization costs will be
expensed as incurred, and offering costs, which include selling commissions and
dealer manager fees, will be deferred and charged to stockholders’ equity as
such amounts are reimbursed to the advisor, the dealer manager or their
affiliates from the gross proceeds of the offering.
Independent
Director Compensation
The
Company will pay each of its independent directors an annual retainer of
$25,000. In addition, the independent directors will be paid for attending
meetings as follows: (i) $2,500 for each board meeting attended, (ii) $2,000 for
each committee meeting attended, (iii) $1,000 for each teleconference board
meeting attended, and (iv) $1,000 for each teleconference committee meeting
attended. All directors also receive reimbursement of reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the
board of directors. In addition 5,000 shares of restricted stock were granted
upon election to the board and 2,500 shares of restricted stock will be granted
annually upon re-election to the board. Director compensation is an
operating expense of the Company that is subject to the operating expense
reimbursement obligation of the advisor discussed in Note 8, “Related Party
Transactions.”
Income
Taxes
The
Company intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intends to operate as such
commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2010. The
Company expects to have little or no taxable income prior to electing REIT
status. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain
organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to
distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to
stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction
or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as
calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not
be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying
dividends to its stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may
be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and
federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. If the
Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to
federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates
and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during
which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the
Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could
materially adversely affect the

Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company intends to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.
Per
Share Data
Loss per basic share of common stock is
calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during such period. Diluted loss per share of common
stock equals basic loss per share of common stock as there were no potentially
dilutive shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30,
2010.
Reportable
Segments
Our current business consists of
investing in and operating multifamily communities. Substantially all of our
consolidated net income is from investments in real estate properties that we
own through co-investment ventures which we account for under the consolidation
method of accounting. Our management evaluates operating performance on an
individual investment level. However, as each of our investments has similar
economic characteristics in our consolidated financial statements, the Company
is managed on an enterprise-wide basis with one reportable segment.
4.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued an amendment to the authoritative guidance on
the consolidation of variable interest entities. This guidance eliminates
exceptions to consolidating qualifying special-purpose entities, contains new
criteria for determining the primary beneficiary, and increases the frequency of
required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary
of a variable interest entity. This guidance also contains a new requirement
that any term, transaction, or arrangement that does not have a substantive
effect on an entity's status as a variable interest entity, a company's power
over a variable interest entity, or a company's obligation to absorb losses or
its rights to receive benefits of an entity must be disregarded in evaluating
whether an entity is a variable interest entity. This guidance was applicable to
us beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May
2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events
(“ASC 855”). ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for
and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 requires
the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent
events and the basis for that date. This ASC also requires public entities to
evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are
issued. ASC 855 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years ending after
June 15, 2009. In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09,
Subsequent Events (Topic
855): Amendments to
Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirement (“ASU No. 2010-09”).
ASU No. 2010-09 amends ASC 855 and eliminates the requirement to disclose
the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated for SEC filers. ASU
No. 2010-09 is effective upon issuance. The adoption of ASC 855 and ASU
No. 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.

We expect
to repay the Springhouse and Creekside notes upon maturity with the proceeds
from our Initial Public Offering. If we are unable to repay the
principal amount upon maturity, we will seek to extend the loans or
refinance. If we cannot repay or refinance the notes, then we will
lose our interest in the joint ventures.
Mortgages
Payable
Springhouse
The
acquisition of the Springhouse property by BR Hawthorne Springhouse JV, LLC
(“Springhouse JV Entity”), a 75%-owned subsidiary of the Springhouse Managing
Member JV Entity, was funded, in part, with a $23.4 million senior mortgage loan
made to BR Springhouse, LLC (“BR Springhouse”), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Springhouse JV Entity, by CW Capital LLC and subsequently sold to the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) (the “Senior Loan”), which Senior
Loan is secured by the Springhouse property. The Senior Loan has a 10-year term,
maturing on January 1, 2020. The effective interest rate on the loan is fixed at
5.66% per annum, with interest-only payments for the first two years and fixed
monthly payments of approximately $134,221 based on a 30-year amortization
schedule thereafter.
Prepayment
terms of the Senior Loan depend on whether the loan is securitized on or before
January 1, 2011. If the loan is securitized, then a two-year lockout period from
the date of funding applies, with BR Springhouse having the right to defease
after the lockout period up to the third month prior to the maturity date, after
which the loan may be prepaid in full without penalty. If the Senior Loan is not
securitized on or before January 1, 2011, then yield maintenance payments will
be required to the extent prepaid before the sixth month prior to the maturity
date. During the period from the sixth month prior to the maturity date to the
third month prior to the maturity date, a prepayment premium of 1% of the loan
amount will be required and thereafter the loan may be prepaid without
penalty.
Creekside
The
acquisition of the Creekside property was funded with $2.323 million of gross
equity from BR Hawthorne Creekside JV, LLC (the “Creekside JV Entity”), and a
$12.5 million senior mortgage HUD loan assumed by BR Creekside, LLC, a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Creekside JV entity, from the seller (the “Creekside
Senior Loan”), which Creekside Senior Loan is secured by the Creekside
Property. The Creekside Senior Loan at origination was $12.9 million
and has a 40-year term, maturing on June 1, 2045. The effective interest rate on
the loan is fixed at 6% per annum, with fixed interest-and principal payments of
$71,375 due monthly based on a 40-year amortization schedule.
Prepayment
of the Creekside Senior Loan is prohibited before July 1, 2010. On or
after July 1, 2010 until June 30, 2015 a prepayment premium equal to a
percentage of the principal balance would be due. The prepayment
premium is 5% on July 1, 2010 and reduces by 1% every July 1 until July 1, 2015
when the Creekside Senior Loan can be prepaid without penalty.
R. Ramin
Kamfar and James G. Babb, III, who are executive officers and members of the
board of directors of the Company, and Edward Harrington, Samantha Davenport and
Shoffner Allison, who are Hawthorne affiliates, have guaranteed all recourse
liabilities of BR Springhouse under the Springhouse Senior Loan and BR Creekside
under the Creekside Senior Loan, including environmental
indemnities.
Meadowmont
The
acquisition of the Meadowmont property was funded with $9.3 million of gross
equity from Bell BR Meadowmont JV, LLC (“the Meadowmont JV Entity”), and a $28.5
million senior mortgage loan made to the special purpose entity that holds title
to the Meadowmont property (“BR Meadowmont”) by CWCapital LLC and subsequently
sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) (the
“Meadowmont Senior Loan”), which Meadowmont Senior Loan is secured by the
Meadowmont property. The Meadowmont Senior Loan has a 10-year term,
maturing on May 1, 2020. The effective interest rate on the loan is fixed at
5.55% per annum, with interest-only payments for the first two years and fixed
monthly payments of approximately $162,715 based on a 30-year amortization
schedule thereafter.
Prepayment
terms of the Meadowmont Senior Loan depend on whether the loan is securitized on
or before May 1, 2011. If the loan is securitized, then a two-year
lockout period from the date the Meadowmont Senior Loan is assigned to a REMIC
trust applies, with BR

RELATED-PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
|
In
connection with our investment in the Springhouse, Creekside and Meadowmont
properties, we entered into loan agreements with BEMT Co-Investor and BEMT
Co-Investor II, the terms of which are described above in Note 7 (Mortgages and
Notes Payable).
As of
June 30, 2010, approximately $3.6 million of organizational and offering costs
have been incurred on the Company’s behalf. The Company is liable to
reimburse these to the extent that selling commissions, dealer manager fees and
organization and other offering costs incurred by the Company do not exceed
15% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. When
recorded by the Company, organizational and offering costs will be expensed as
incurred, and third-party offering costs will be deferred and charged to
shareholders’ equity as such amounts are reimbursed to the advisor or its
affiliates from the gross proceeds of the offering.
The
advisor performs its duties and responsibilities as the Company’s fiduciary
under an advisory agreement. The term of the current advisory agreement ends
October 14, 2010 and may be renewed by our board of directors for an unlimited
number of successive one-year periods. The advisor will conduct the Company’s
operations and manage its portfolio of real estate and real estate-related
investments under the terms of the advisory agreement.
Certain
of the Company’s affiliates will receive fees and compensation in connection
with the Company’s public offering, and the acquisition, management and sale of
its real estate investments
The
Company will pay its advisor a monthly asset management fee for the services it
provides pursuant to the advisory agreement. The asset management fee will be
equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the higher of the cost or the value of each
asset, where (A) cost equals the amount actually paid, excluding acquisition
fees and expenses, to purchase each asset it acquires, including any debt
attributable to the asset (including any debt encumbering the asset after
acquisition), provided that, with respect to any properties the Company
develops, constructs or improves, cost will include the amount expended by the
Company for the development, construction or improvement, and (B) the value of
an asset is the value established by the most recent independent valuation
report, if available, without reduction for depreciation, bad debts or other
non-cash reserves; provided, however, that 50% of the advisor’s asset management
fee will not be payable until stockholders have received distributions in an
amount equal to at least a 6.0% per annum cumulative, non-compounded return on
invested capital, at which time all such amounts will become immediately due and
payable. For these purposes, “invested capital” means the original issue price
paid for the shares of the Company’s common stock reduced by prior distributions
identified as special distributions from the sale of its asset. The asset
management fee will be based only on the portion of the cost or value
attributable to the Company’s investment in an asset if the Company does not own
all of an asset. The Company will also pay the advisor a financing fee equal to
1% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit made available to
the Company. The advisor may re-allow some or all of this fee to reimburse third
parties with whom it may subcontract to procure such financing.
The
advisor will also receive 1.75% of the purchase price of a property or
investment for its services in connection with the investigation, selection,
sourcing, due diligence and acquisition of that property or investment. The
purchase price of a property or investment will equal the amount paid or
allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of a
property, inclusive of expenses related thereto, and the amount of debt
associated with such real property or investment. The purchase price allocable
for joint venture investments will equal the product of (1) the purchase price
of the underlying property and (2) the Company’s ownership percentage in the
joint venture. The Company will pay the advisor an origination fee in lieu of an
acquisition fee for services in connection with the investigation, selection,
13

sourcing, due diligence, and acquisition of mortgage, subordinated, bridge or other loans of 1.75% of the principal amount of the borrower’s loan obligation or of the purchase price of any loan the Company purchases including third- party expenses.
In
addition, to the extent the advisor provides a substantial amount of services in
connection with the disposition of one or more of the Company’s properties or
investments (except for securities that are traded on a national securities
exchange), the advisor will receive fees equal to the lesser of (A) 1.5% of
the sales price of each property or other investment sold or (B) 50% of the
selling commission that would have been paid to a third-party broker in
connection with such a disposition. In no event may disposition fees paid to the
advisor or its affiliates and unaffiliated third parties exceed in the aggregate
6% of the contract sales price
In
addition to the fees payable to the advisor, the Company will reimburse the
advisor for all reasonable and incurred expenses in connection with services
provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not
reimburse any amount that would cause its total operating expenses at the end of
four preceding fiscal quarters to exceed the greater of 2% of the Company’s
average invested assets or 25% of the Company’s net income determined (1)
without reductions for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or
other similar non-cash reserves and (2) excluding any gain from the sale of the
Company’s assets for the period unless a majority of its independent directors
has determined such expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring
factors. The Company will not reimburse the advisor for personnel costs in
connection with services for which the advisor receives acquisition, origination
or disposition fees.
The
Company has issued 1,000 shares of convertible stock, par value $0.01 per share
to its advisor. The convertible stock will convert to shares of common stock if
and when: (A) the Company has made total distributions on the then outstanding
shares of its common stock equal to the original issue price of those shares
plus an 8% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on the original issue price
of those shares or (B) subject to specified conditions, the Company lists its
common stock for trading on a national securities exchange. A “listing” will be
deemed to have occurred on the effective date of any merger of the Company in
which the consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock is
the securities of another issuer that are listed on a national securities
exchange. Upon conversion, each share of convertible stock will convert into a
number of shares of common stock equal to 1/1000 of the quotient of (A) 15% of
the excess of (1) the Company’s “enterprise value” (as defined in its charter)
plus the aggregate value of distributions paid to date on the outstanding shares
of its common stock over the (2) aggregate purchase price paid by the
stockholders for those shares plus an 8% cumulative, non-compounded, annual
return on the original issue price of those shares, divided by (B) the Company’s
enterprise value divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock, in
each case calculated as of the date of the conversion. In the event an event
triggering the conversion occurs after the advisory agreement with the advisor
is not renewed or terminates (other than because of a material breach by the
advisor), the number of shares of common stock the advisor will receive upon
conversion will be prorated to account for the period of time the advisory
agreement was in force.
The
Company will pay Bluerock REIT Property Management, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the advisor, a property management fee equal to 4% of the monthly
gross income from any properties it manages. Alternatively, the Company may
contract property management services for certain properties directly to
non-affiliated third parties, in which event the Company will pay the advisor an
oversight fee equal to 1% of monthly gross revenues of such
properties.
All of
the Company’s executive officers and some of its directors are also executive
officers, managers and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest
in the advisor and other Bluerock-affiliated entities as well as executive
officers and directors of the Company. As a result, they owe
fiduciary duties to each of these entities, their members and limited partners
and investors, which fiduciary duties may from time to time conflict with the
fiduciary duties that they owe to the Company and its stockholders.
Some of
the material conflicts that the advisor or its affiliates will face are: 1) the
determination of whether an investment opportunity should be recommended to the
Company or another Bluerock-sponsored program or Bluerock-advised investor; 2)
the allocation of the time of key executive officers, directors, and other real
estate professionals among the Company, other Bluerock-sponsored programs and
Bluerock-advised investors, and the activities in which they are involved; 3)
the fees received by the advisor and its affiliates in connection with
transactions involving the purchase, origination, management and sale of
investments regardless of the quality of the asset acquired or the service
provided the Company; and 4) the fees received by the advisor and its affiliates
in connection with the Company’s public offering of equity
securities.

an aggregate purchase price of $1,000. Upon certain conditions, the convertible
stock will convert to shares of common stock with a value equal to 15% of the
excess of (i) the Company’s enterprise value (as defined in its charter) plus
the aggregate value of distributions paid to stockholders over (ii) the
aggregate purchase price paid by stockholders for the Company’s shares plus a 8%
cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on the original issue price paid for
those outstanding shares.
Share
Repurchase Plan
The
Company’s board of directors has approved a share repurchase plan. The share
repurchase plan allows for share repurchases by the Company when certain
criteria are met.
Stock-based
Compensation for Independent Directors
The
Company’s independent directors received an automatic grant of 5,000 shares
of restricted stock on the effective date of the public offering and will
receive an automatic grant of 2,500 shares of restricted stock when such
directors are reelected at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders
thereafter. Each person who thereafter is elected or appointed as an independent
director will receive an automatic grant of 5,000 shares of restricted
stock on the date such person is first elected as an independent director and an
automatic grant of 2,500 shares of restricted stock when such director is
reelected at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders thereafter. To
the extent allowed by applicable law, the independent directors will not be
required to pay any purchase price for these grants of restricted stock. The
restricted stock will vest 20% at the time of the grant and 20% on each
anniversary thereafter over four years from the date of the grant. All
restricted stock may receive distributions, whether vested or unvested. The
value of the restricted stock to be granted is not determinable until the date
of grant. As of June 30, 2010 7,500 shares of restricted stock has been granted
to each of the three independent directors.
Distributions
The Company paid its first distribution
effective June 1, 2010. Distributions, including distributions paid
by issuing shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”), for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 were as follows:

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying consolidated financial statements of Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily
Trust, Inc., and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and
“us” refer to Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation,
and, as required by context, Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Holdings, L.P. , a
Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as our “operating partnership,”
and to their subsidiaries.
Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain
statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking
statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or
current expectations of Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc., and members
of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are
based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,”
“seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,”
“should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those
contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no
obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed
assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future
operating results over time, unless required by law.
The
following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and
uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from
those presented in our forward-looking statements:
·
|
Our
officers and non-independent directors have substantial conflicts of
interest because they also are officers and owners of our advisor and its
affiliates, including our sponsors.
|
·
|
We
will rely on our advisor, an affiliate of our officers and non-independent
directors, to manage our business and select and manage investments. Our
advisor is a newly formed entity. The success of our business will depend
on the success of our advisor in performing these
duties.
|
·
|
To
the extent we sell substantially less than the maximum number of shares in
this offering, we may not have sufficient funds, after the payment of
offering and related expenses, to acquire a diverse portfolio of
properties.
|
·
|
We
may fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We would
then be subject to corporate level taxation and we would not be required
to pay any distributions to our
stockholders.
|
·
|
We
anticipate that we will invest in multifamily development projects. These
investments involve risks beyond those presented by stabilized,
income-producing properties. These risks may diminish the return to our
stockholders.
|
·
|
We
anticipate that we will invest in subordinated and bridge loans originated
for multifamily acquisitions and for multifamily development projects.
Subordinated and bridge loans involve greater risk of loss than senior
secured loans because such investments may be partially or entirely lost
as a result of foreclosure by the senior
lender.
|
·
|
Other
programs owned or advised by our officers and non-independent directors or
their affiliates may compete with us for the time and attention of these
executives, and our officers and non-independent directors will experience
conflicts of interest in allocating investment opportunities among other
affiliated entities and us..
|
·
|
To
hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we may use derivative financial
instruments that may be costly and ineffective, may reduce the overall
returns on your investment and may expose us to the credit risk of
counterparties
|
All
forward-looking statements should be read in light of the factors identified in
the “Risk Factors” section of our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No.
333-153135) filed with the SEC, as the same may be amended and supplemented from
time to time.
Overview
We are a
recently formed Maryland corporation that intends to qualify as a REIT beginning
with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010.
As of May
20, 2010 we had received gross offering proceeds sufficient to satisfy the
minimum offering amount. Accordingly we broke escrow with respect to
subscriptions received from all states in which our shares are currently being
offered. As of August 3, 2010, we had accepted aggregate gross
offering proceeds of $4,374,547. We will experience a relative
increase in liquidity as we receive additional subscriptions for shares and a
relative decrease in liquidity as we spend net offering proceeds in connection
with the acquisition, development and operation of our assets.
17
We intend
to make reserve allocations as necessary to aid our objective of preserving
capital for our investors by supporting the maintenance and viability of
properties we acquire in the future. If reserves and any other available income
become insufficient to cover our operating expenses and liabilities, it may be
necessary to obtain additional funds by borrowing, refinancing properties or
liquidating our investment in one or more properties. There is no assurance that
such funds will be available or, if available, that the terms will be acceptable
to us.
We intend
to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our
stockholders each calendar year at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding
net capital gains). If we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we
generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute
to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we
will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate
rates and will not be permitted to qualify as a REIT for four years following
the year in which our qualification is denied. Such an event could materially
and adversely affect our net income and results of operations.
Results
of Operations
Our results of operations for the three
months and the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not indicative of those
expected in future periods as we were in our organizational and development
stage and had not commenced business operations until the purchase of our first
asset on December 3, 2009.
Our management is not aware of any
material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, other than national
economic conditions affecting our targeted portfolio, the apartment housing
industry and real estate generally, which may be reasonably anticipated to have
a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or incomes to be
derived from the operation of our assets.
Three
months and six months ended June 30, 2010
Through
related party loan transactions, as of June 30, 2010, we had acquired ownership
interests in three joint ventures as detailed in the above Note 6 (Investments
in Real Estate.) In general, we expect that our income and expenses
related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of
anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related
investments.
We
account for our acquisitions of property in accordance with the provisions of
the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”). The Company consolidates the
joint ventures because we have a controlling financial interest in the joint
ventures.
Rental revenue was
approximately $2.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively for the three months
and the six months ended June 30, 2010 and includes net base rent and tenant
reimbursements from our three properties. We expect rental income and tenant
reimbursements to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future
acquisitions of real estate.
Property operating expenses
were approximately $511,000 and $794,500, respectively for the three months and
the six months ended June 30, 2010. Property taxes and
insurance were approximately
$273,000 and $387,700, respectively for the three months and the six months
ended June 30, 2010. The increase
in property operating costs, real estate taxes and insurance was due to the
growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect these amounts to increase in
future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real
estate.
Management fees were approximately $110,300 and
$177,400, respectively for the three months and the six months ended June 30,
2010 and include the property management fee and the asset management fee
paid to our advisor. We expect asset management fees to increase in
future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and
real estate-related investments.
Real estate acquisition fees
and expenses were approximately $576,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and relate to the acquisition of Creekside and Meadowmont real
estate properties. The acquisition fees paid in December 2009 for the
Springhouse acquisition were capitalized as part of the purchase price of the
property as was appropriate prior to January 1, 2010 when revised accounting
guidance was issued.
General
and administrative expenses were approximately
$116,400 and $143,200, respectively for the three months and the six months
ended June 30, 2010.
Depreciation and
amortization totaled approximately $1.6 million
and $2.1 million, respectively for the three months and the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and were comprised of depreciation on the properties and
amortization of loan financing costs associated with the property
acquisitions.
18
Interest
expense was
approximately $908,000 and $1.3 million, respectively for the three
months and the six months ended June 30, 2010 and was related to
mortgage and affiliate loans for our property acquisitions.
Loss allocated to non-controlling
interests was approximately $1.1 million
and $1.3 million, respectively for the three months and the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and represents the 62.5% pro-rata share of the consolidated
loss from the Springhouse joint venture, 77.3% of the loss from the Creekside
joint venture and 87.5% of the loss from the Meadowmont joint
venture.
Organization
and Offering Costs
Our
organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer
manager fees) may be paid by our advisor, the dealer manager or their affiliates
on our behalf. Other offering costs include all expenses to be incurred by us in
connection with our ongoing initial public offering. Organization costs include
all expenses incurred by us in connection with our formation, including but not
limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate. Organization costs are
expensed as incurred and offering costs, which include selling commissions and
dealer manager fees, are charged as incurred as a reduction to stockholders’
equity.
Pursuant
to the advisory agreement and the dealer manager agreement, we are obligated to
reimburse our advisor, the dealer manager or their affiliates, as applicable,
for organization and other offering costs paid by them on our behalf; however,
our advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent selling commissions,
dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs incurred by us
exceed 15% of gross proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering. Through
June 30, 2010, including shares issued through our dividend reinvestment
plan, we had sold 407,404 shares in the offering for gross offering
proceeds of $3,557,097 and recorded organization and other offering costs of
$209,302 and selling commissions and dealer manager fees of
$369,630.
Funds
from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
One of
our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from funds
from operations. Funds from operations is not equivalent to our net operating
income or loss as determined under GAAP. Due to certain unique operating
characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a
measure known as Funds From Operations, or FFO, which it believes more
accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT.
We consider FFO to be an appropriate
supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance as it is based on a net
income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items
such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate
assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which
implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.
Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions,
presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for
depreciation, could be less informative. The use of FFO is recommended by the
REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We define FFO, a non-GAAP
measure, consistent with the NAREIT’s definition, as net income, computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joints ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same
basis. Presentation of this information is intended to assist the
reader in comparing the operating performance of different REITs, although it
should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO the same way, so comparisons
with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO is not necessarily
indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our
performance.
In addition to FFO, we use
modified funds from operations ("Modified Funds from Operations" or "MFFO")
which excludes from FFO acquisition expenses to further evaluate our operating
performance. We believe that MFFO with this adjustment, like those already
included in FFO, is helpful as a measure of operating performance because it
excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities
or non-operating valuation changes. As explained below, management's evaluation
of our operating performance excludes the items considered in the calculation
based on the following economic considerations:
Acquisition
expense. In evaluating investments in real estate, including
both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method
of accounting, management's investment models and analysis differentiate costs
to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Prior
to our 2009 Springhouse acquisition, costs for both of these types of
investments were capitalized; however, beginning after our 2009 Springhouse
acquisition, acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed.
Both of these acquisitions costs have been and will continue to be funded from
the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and not from operations. We believe
by excluding expensed acquisition costs, MFFO provides useful supplemental
information that is comparable for each type of our real estate investments and
is consistent with management's analysis of the investing and operating
performance of our properties. Acquisition
19
expenses include those incurred with our Advisor or third parties. The following table presents our calculation of FFO and MFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010:

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We are
offering a maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares and a minimum of $2,500,000 in
shares of our common stock in our primary offering, at an offering price of
$10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain categories of
purchasers. We also are offering up to $285,000,000 in shares
pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at $9.50 per share.
Our
principal demands for cash will be for acquisition costs, including the purchase
price of any properties, loans or securities we acquire, and construction and
development costs and the payment of our operating and administrative expenses,
continuing debt service obligations and distributions to our stockholders.
Generally, we will fund our acquisitions from the net proceeds of our public
offering. We intend to acquire our assets with cash and mortgage or other debt,
but we may acquire assets free and clear of permanent mortgage or other
indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price for the asset in cash or in
units of limited partnership interest in our operating partnership. Due to the
delay between the sale of our shares and our acquisitions, there may be a delay
in the benefits to our stockholders, if any, of returns generated from our
investments.
We
anticipate that adequate cash will be generated from operations to fund our
operating and administrative expenses, continuing debt service obligations and
the payment of distributions. However, our ability to finance our operations is
subject to several uncertainties. Our ability to generate working capital is
dependent on our ability to attract and retain tenants and the economic and
business environments of the various markets in which our properties are
located. Our ability to sell real estate investments is partially dependent upon
the state of real estate markets and the ability of purchasers to obtain
financing at reasonable commercial rates. In general, our policy will be to pay
distributions from cash flow from operations. However, some or all of our
distributions may be paid from other sources, such as from borrowings, advances
from our advisor, our advisor’s deferral of its fees and expense reimbursements
or the proceeds of our public offering.
Potential
future sources of capital include secured or unsecured financings from banks or
other lenders, establishing additional lines of credit, proceeds from the sale
of properties and undistributed cash flow.
Our
charter prohibits us from incurring debt that would cause our borrowings to
exceed 75% of the cost of our assets unless a majority of our independent
directors approves the borrowing. Our charter also requires that we disclose the
justification for any borrowings in excess of the 75% leverage guideline in the
next quarterly report. Our independent directors approved the borrowing of
approximately $4.6 million to purchase the Springhouse and Creekside properties
resulting in a leverage ratio in excess of the 75% guideline. The independent
directors determined that the excess leverage was justified for the following
reasons:
• the loans enabled us to purchase the property and earn rental
income more quickly;
• the property acquisition is likely to increase the net offering
proceeds from our initial public offering, thereby improving our ability to meet
our goal of acquiring a diversified portfolio of properties to generate current
income for investors and preserve investor capital;
• the loans are non-recourse to the Company;
• the prospectus for our initial public offering disclosed the
likelihood that we would exceed the charter’s leverage guidelines during the
early stages of the offering.
20
Distributions
On May
10, 2010, our board of directors approved a monthly cash distribution of
$0.05833 per common share. This distribution was paid in cash to each
shareholder of record as of May 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 and was paid on or
before the 15th of the following month. We can make no assurance that our board
of directors will continue to approve monthly distributions at the current rate;
however the recently approved distribution represents an amount that, if paid
each month for a 12-month period, would equate to a 7.0% annualized rate based
on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Our initial cash distributions have
been funded from proceeds from our Initial Public Offering.
We intend
to make regular cash distributions to our stockholders, typically on a monthly
basis. Our board of directors will determine the amount of distributions to be
distributed to our stockholders. The board’s determination will be based on a
number of factors, including funds available from operations, our capital
expenditure requirements and the annual distribution requirements necessary to
maintain our REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, our
distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. However, to
qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we must make distributions equal to at least
90% of our “REIT taxable income” each year. Especially during the early stages
of our operations, we may declare distributions in excess of funds from
operations.
Distributions declared, distributions
paid, cash flows from operations and funds from operations were as follows for

Critical
Accounting Policies
Below is
a discussion of the accounting policies that management believes will be
critical once we commence real estate operations. We consider these policies
critical because they involve significant management judgments and assumptions,
require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they
are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.
These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts
could be reported in our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other
companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of
our results of operations to those of companies in similar
businesses.
Real
Estate Assets
Depreciation
We have
to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets.
These assessments have a direct impact on our net income, because, if we were to
shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would
depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation
expense and lower net income on an annual basis throughout the expected useful
lives of these investments. We consider the period of future benefit of an asset
to determine its appropriate useful life. We anticipate the estimated useful
lives of our assets by class to be as follows:
Buildings 25-40
years
Building
improvements 10-25
years
Land
improvements 20-25
years
Tenant
origination and absorption
costs Remaining
term of related lease
Real
Estate Acquisition Valuation
The
Company records the acquisition of income-producing real estate or real estate
that will be used for the production of income as a business combination. All
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
at their acquisition-date fair values, acquisition costs are expensed as
incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability
at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition
date. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company acquired
interests in two real estate assets and recorded each acquisition as a business
combination and expensed $576,126 of acquisition costs.
21
Estimates
of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed
liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate
market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up
periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the
property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would
result in an incorrect valuation of the Company’s acquired tangible assets,
identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount
of the Company’s net income.
Income
Taxes
The
Company intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intends to operate as such
commencing with the taxable year in which the Company satisfies the minimum
offering requirements. The Company expects to have little or no
taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To qualify as a REIT,
the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements,
including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT
taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the
dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily
equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company
generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes
qualifying dividends to its stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a
REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and
property, and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed
income. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable
year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular
corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for
treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years
following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal
Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions.
Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net
cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company intends to
organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a
REIT.
Subsequent
Events
Status
of the Offering
We
commenced our ongoing initial public offering of $1,000,000,000 in shares
of common stock on October 15, 2009. As of August 3, 2010 we had sold 490,324
shares of common stock in the offering, including 2,230 shares of common stock
under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of
$4,374,547.
Distributions
Paid
On July

Distributions
Declared
On August
9, 2010, our board of directors declared distributions based on daily
record dates for the period from August 1, 2010 through August
31, 2010, which we expect to pay in September 2010, distributions based on
daily record dates for the period from September 1, 2010 through September
30, 2010, which we expect to pay in October 2010 and distributions based on
daily record dates for the period from October 1, 2010 through October 31,
2010, which we expect to pay in November 2010. Investors may choose to receive
cash distributions or purchase additional shares through our dividend
reinvestment plan.
Distributions
for these periods will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day
during these periods at a rate of $0.00191781 per share per day and equal a
daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 7.0%
annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share

such information.

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
As
required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of June 30, 2010,
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010,
to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us
in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated
and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
We
believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and
operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls
system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a
company have been detected.
Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes to our
internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

On
October 15, 2009, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-153135),
covering a public offering of shares of common stock, was declared effective
under the Securities Act of 1933. We have retained Select Capital Corporation as
the dealer manager of our offering. We are offering a maximum of
$1,000,000,000 and a minimum of $2,500,000 in shares of our common stock in our
primary offering, at an offering price of $10.00 per share, with discounts
available for certain categories of investors. We also are offering
up to $285,000,000 in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at
$9.50 per share. As of June 30, 2010, we had sold approximately 407,404 shares
of common stock in our ongoing public offering and raised gross offering
proceeds of approximately $3,557,097. From this amount, we incurred
approximately $369,630 in selling commissions and dealer manager fees payable to
our dealer manager and approximately $353,700 in acquisition fees payable to our
advisor. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we did not sell
any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
and we did not repurchase any of our securities.
