Organization
Franklin
Street Properties Corp. (“FSP Corp.” or the “Company”) holds, directly and
indirectly, 100% of the interest in FSP Investments LLC, FSP Property Management
LLC, FSP Holdings LLC and FSP Protective TRS Corp. The Company also
has a non-controlling common stock interest in thirteen corporations organized
to operate as real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and a non-controlling
preferred stock interest in three of those REITs.
The
Company operates in two business segments: real estate operations and investment
banking/investment services. FSP Investments LLC provides real estate investment
and broker/dealer services. FSP Investments LLC's services include: (i) the
organization of REIT entities (the "Sponsored REITs"), which are syndicated
through private placements; (ii) sourcing of the acquisition of real estate on
behalf of the Sponsored REITs; and (iii) the sale of preferred stock in
Sponsored REITs. FSP Investments LLC is a registered broker/dealer
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. FSP Property Management LLC
provides asset management and property management services for the Sponsored
REITs.
The
Company owns and operates a portfolio of real estate, which consisted of 32
properties as of September 30, 2009. From time-to-time the Company
may acquire real estate or invest in real estate by purchasing shares of
preferred stock offered in syndications of Sponsored REITs. The
Company may also pursue, on a selective basis, the sale of its properties in
order to take advantage of the value creation and demand for its properties, or
for geographic or property specific reasons.
On
May 15, 2008, the Company acquired one of its Sponsored REITs, FSP Park Ten
Development Corp. (“Park Ten Development”) by merging a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company with and into Park Ten Development for a total purchase price of
approximately $35.4 million. The holders of preferred stock in Park
Ten Development received cash consideration of approximately $127,290 per
share. The merger was accounted for as a purchase and the acquired
assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value.

following table summarizes the Company’s investment in real estate assets,

Basis
of Presentation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include all
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America for interim financial
information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been
included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2009 or for any other
period.

Financial
Instruments
The
Company estimates that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents,
restricted cash, the bank note payable, term note payable and its obligation to
make the Sponsored REIT Loans (as defined in Note 3 below) approximate
their fair values based on their short-term maturity and floating interest
rate.
Recent
Accounting Standards
Accounting
Standards Codification
In
June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a
pronouncement establishing the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the
source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be
applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The
standard explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This standard
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim
periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has adopted this standard
in accordance with GAAP.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued a pronouncement that defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and provides for
expanded disclosure about fair value measurements that will be applied
prospectively, to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit
fair value measurements. The pronouncement excludes certain leasing transactions
accounted for in accounting for leases and is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The adoption did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash
flow. The FASB then issued a pronouncement to defer the effective
date for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities except those
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2008. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on
the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued a pronouncement, which establishes principles and
requirements for how the acquirer shall recognize and measure in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and goodwill acquired in a business
combination. The pronouncement is effective for business combinations for which
the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard
did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued a pronouncement that requires entities to provide
greater transparency about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which sets forth the period after the
balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate
events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in
the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should
recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements, and disclosures that an entity should make about events or
transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This pronouncement
requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for that date. This disclosure should alert all
users of financials statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent
events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. The
Company is adhering to the requirements of this pronouncement which was
effective for financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.
On
June 12, 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement that changes how a
company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not
controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The
determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based
on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability
to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the
entity’s economic performance. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years
and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after November 15,
2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on

Investment
in Sponsored REITs:
At
September 30, 2009, the Company held an interest in thirteen Sponsored
REITs. Eleven were fully syndicated and the Company no longer derives
economic benefits or risks from the common stock interest that is retained in
them. The Company holds a non-controlling preferred stock investment
in three of these Sponsored REITs, FSP Phoenix Tower Corp. (“Phoenix Tower”),
FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. (“East Wacker”) and Grand Boulevard, from which
it continues to derive economic benefits and risks. Two entities were
not fully syndicated at September 30, 2009, which are 385 Interlocken and
Lakeside Crossing II.

Equity
in earnings of investments in Sponsored REITs is derived from the Company’s
share of income following the commencement of syndication of Sponsored
REITs. Following the commencement of syndication the Company
exercises influence over, but does not control these entities, and investments
are accounted for using the equity method.
Equity
in earnings of Park Ten Development was derived from the Company’s preferred
stock investment in the entity. In September 2005, the Company
acquired 8.5 preferred shares or 3.05% of the authorized preferred shares of
Park Ten Development via a non-monetary exchange of land valued at
$850,000. The Company acquired Park Ten Development by merger on May
15, 2008, which merger was accounted for as a purchase, and the acquired assets
and liabilities were recorded at their fair value.
Equity
in earnings of Phoenix Tower is derived from the Company’s preferred stock
investment in the entity. In September 2006, the Company purchased 48
preferred shares or 4.6% of the outstanding preferred shares of Phoenix Tower
for $4,116,000 (which represented $4,800,000 at the offering price net of
commissions of $384,000 and fees of $300,000 that were excluded).

Equity
in earnings of East Wacker is derived from the Company’s preferred stock
investment in the entity. In December 2007, the Company purchased 965.75
preferred shares or 43.7% of the outstanding preferred shares of East Wacker for
$82,813,000 (which represented $96,575,000 at the offering price net of
commissions of $7,726,000, loan fees of $5,553,000 and acquisition fees of
$483,000 that were excluded).
Equity
in earnings of Grand Boulevard is derived from the Company’s preferred stock
investment in the entity. In May 2009, the Company purchased 175.5 preferred
shares or 27.0% of the outstanding preferred shares of Grand Boulevard for
$15,049,000 (which represented $17,550,000 at the offering price net of
commissions of $1,404,000, loan fees of $1,009,000 and acquisition fees of
$88,000 that were excluded).
The
Company recorded distributions declared of $4,257,000 and $3,838,000 from
non-consolidated REITs during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Non-consolidated
REITs:
The
Company has in the past acquired by merger entities similar to the Sponsored
REITs. On March 19, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of
merger to acquire Park Ten Development by merger for a total purchase price of
approximately $35.4 million. Upon completion of the acquisition on May 15, 2008,
the holders of preferred stock in Park Ten Development received cash
consideration of approximately $127,290 per share. The acquisition was effected
by merging a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with and into Park Ten
Development. Consummation of the acquisition required the approval of Park Ten
Development's stockholders. The Company’s business model for growth includes the
potential acquisition by merger in the future of Sponsored REITs. The Company
has no legal or any other enforceable obligation to acquire or to offer to
acquire any Sponsored REIT. In addition, any offer (and the related terms and
conditions) that might be made in the future to acquire any Sponsored REIT would
require the approval of the boards of directors of the Company and the Sponsored
REIT and the approval of the shareholders of the Sponsored REIT.
The
operating data below for 2009 includes operations of the thirteen Sponsored
REITs the Company held an interest in as of September 30, 2009. The operating
data for 2008 includes operations of the twelve Sponsored REITs the Company held
an interest in as of September 30, 2008.
At
September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, the Company had
ownership interests in thirteen, twelve and twelve Sponsored REITs,
respectively. Summarized financial information for

Syndication
fees and Transaction fees:
The
Company provides syndication and real estate acquisition advisory services for
Sponsored REITs. Syndication, development and
transaction fees from non-consolidated entities amounted to approximately
$581,000 and $7,372,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Management
fees and interest income from loans:
Asset
management fees range from 1% to 5% of collected rents and the applicable
contracts are cancelable with 30 days notice. Asset management fee income from non-consolidated entities amounted to
approximately $664,000 and $706,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
The
Company typically makes interim mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs that enable
Sponsored REITs to acquire their respective properties prior to the consummation
of the offerings of their equity interests. The interim mortgage loans are
subsequently repaid out of offering proceeds. As of September 30, 2009, there
were no interim mortgage loans outstanding. From time-to-time the Company also
makes secured loans to Sponsored REITs for the purpose of funding construction
costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs and for other purposes (the
“Sponsored REIT Loans”). The Company is typically entitled to interest on the
funds that it advances to make interim mortgage loans and the Sponsored REIT
Loans.
Sponsored
REIT Loans
Since
December 2007, the Company has provided revolving lines of credit to five
Sponsored REITs, or to wholly-owned subsidiaries of those Sponsored REITs, and a
construction loan to one wholly-owned subsidiary of another Sponsored REIT. Each
of the Sponsored REIT Loans is secured by a mortgage on the underlying property
and has a term of approximately three years. Advances under each of the
Sponsored REIT Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus
an agreed upon amount of basis points and most advances also require a 50 basis
point draw fee. The Company also received a $210,000 loan commitment fee at the
time of the closing of the construction loan. The Company anticipates that any
advances made under the Sponsored REIT Loans will be repaid at their maturity or
earlier from long term financing of the underlying properties, cash flows of the
underlying properties or some other capital events.

Bank
note payable and term note payable
|
As
of September 30, 2009, the Company has a bank note payable, which is an
unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) for advances up to $250
million that matures on August 11, 2011, and a term note payable, which is an
unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) of $75 million that matures in October
2011 with two one-year extensions available at the Company’s
election. The Revolver and the Term Loan are with a group of
banks.
The
Revolver and Term Loan include restrictions on property liens and require
compliance with various financial covenants. Financial covenants include the
maintenance of at least $1,500,000 in operating cash accounts, a minimum
unencumbered cash and liquid investments balance and tangible net worth,
limitations on permitted secured debt and compliance with various debt and
operating income ratios, as defined in the loan agreement. The Company was in
compliance with the Revolver and Term Loan financial covenants as of September
30, 2009 and the Revolver at September 30, 2008.
Revolver
The
Company’s Revolver is an unsecured revolving line of credit with a group of
banks that provides for borrowings at our election of up to
$250,000,000. The Revolver matures on August 11,
2011. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at either the
bank's prime rate (3.25% at September 30, 2009) or a rate equal to LIBOR plus
100 basis points (1.25% at September 30, 2009). There were borrowings
of $91,008,000 and $67,468,000 at the LIBOR plus 100 basis point rate at a
weighted average rate of 1.24% and 2.39% outstanding under the Revolver at
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The weighted
average interest rate on amounts outstanding during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately 1.34% and 3.90%, respectively; and
for the year ended December 31, 2008 was approximately 3.61%.

The
Company has drawn on the Revolver and intends to draw on the Revolver in the
future for a variety of corporate purposes, including the funding of interim
mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs and the acquisition of properties that it
acquires directly for its portfolio.
The
Company typically requires mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs to be secured by a
first mortgage against the real property owned by the Sponsored
REIT. The Company makes these loans to enable a Sponsored REIT to
acquire real property prior to the consummation of the offering of its equity
interests, and the loan is repaid out of the offering proceeds. The
Company also may make secured loans to Sponsored REITs for the purpose of
funding construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs or for other
purposes that the Company anticipates would be repaid at their maturity or
earlier from long term financings of the underlying properties, cash flows of
the underlying properties or some other capital events.
Term
Loan
On
October 15, 2008, the Company entered into a $75 million unsecured Term Loan
with three banks. Proceeds from the Term Loan were used to reduce the
outstanding principal balance on the Revolver. The Term Loan has an
initial three-year term that matures on October 15, 2011. In
addition, the Company has the right to extend the Term Loan’s initial maturity
date for up to two successive one-year periods, or until October 15, 2013 if
both extensions are exercised. The Term Loan has an interest rate
option equal to LIBOR (subject to a 2% floor) plus 200 basis points and a
requirement that the Company fix the interest rate for the initial three-year
term of the Term Loan pursuant to an interest rate swap agreement which the
Company did at an interest rate of 5.84% per annum.

Net
Income Per Share
|
Basic
net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of Company shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net
income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities
or other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into
shares. There were no potential dilutive shares outstanding at
September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Financial
Instruments: Derivatives and
Hedging
|
On
October 15, 2008, the Company fixed the interest rate for the initial three-year
term of the Term Loan at 5.84% per annum pursuant to an interest rate swap
agreement. The variable rate that was fixed under the interest rate swap
agreement is described in Note 4.
The
interest swap agreement qualifies as a cash flow hedge and has been recognized
on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. If a
derivative qualifies as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes
in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in
fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings,
or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized
in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will
be immediately recognized in earnings. The accounting for cash flow
hedges may increase or decrease reported net income
and stockholders’ equity prospectively, depending on future levels of interest
rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments
and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows.
The
following table summarizes the notional and fair value of our derivative
financial instrument at September 30, 2009. The notional value is an
indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments at that time,
but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks
(dollars in thousands).

Financial
Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging
(continued)
|
On
September 30, 2009, the derivative instrument was reported as an obligation at
its fair value of approximately $2.3 million. This is included in other
liabilities: derivative termination value on the condensed consolidated balance
sheet at September 30, 2009. Offsetting adjustments are represented as deferred
gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income of $2.3 million. Over
time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive
income will be reclassified into earnings as a reduction to interest expense in
the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. We
estimate that approximately $1.1 million of the current balance held in
accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings within
the next 12 months. We are hedging exposure to variability in future cash flows
for forecasted transactions in addition to anticipated future interest payments
on existing debt.
Fair
Value Measurements
Fair
value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or
paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants on the measurement date. There is an established fair value
hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The related
accounting pronouncement describes three levels of inputs that may be used to
measure fair value. Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the condensed
consolidated balance sheets at fair value are categorized based on the inputs to
the valuation techniques as follows:
Level
1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are
inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include
quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as
inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted
prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that
are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own
assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity or information.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on
inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair
value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its
entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to
the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers
factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company’s outstanding derivative
follows the related accounting pronouncement, and Level 2 inputs were used to
value the interest rate swap.

Business
Segments
|
The
Company operates in two business segments: real estate operations (including
real estate leasing, making interim acquisition loans and other financing and
asset/property management) including discontinued operations and investment
banking/investment services (including real estate acquisition, development and
broker/dealer services). The Company has identified these segments because this
information is the basis upon which management makes decisions regarding
resource allocation and performance assessment. The accounting policies of the
reportable segments are the same as those described in the “Significant
Accounting Policies” in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008. The Company’s operations are located in the United States of
America.
The
Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on Funds From
Operations (“FFO”) as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate
measure of the reportable segment’s activity and is the basis for distributions
paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income (determined in
accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and
acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments to exclude non-cash income
(or losses) from non-consolidated or Sponsored REITs, plus distributions
received from non-consolidated or Sponsored REITs.
FFO
should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in
accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance,
nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in
accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it
necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s
needs. Other real estate companies may define this term in a different manner.
We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of
the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income and cash flows
from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial
statements.
The
calculation of FFO by business segment for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 are shown in the following tables:

Income
Taxes
|
The
Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a REIT, the Company generally is entitled to a
tax deduction for distributions paid to its shareholders, thereby effectively
subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to taxation at the
shareholder level only. The Company must comply with a variety of restrictions
to maintain its status as a REIT. These restrictions include the type of income
it can earn, the type of assets it can hold, the number of shareholders it can
have and the concentration of their ownership, and the amount of the Company’s
taxable income that must be distributed annually.
One
such restriction is that the Company generally cannot own more than 10% of the
voting power or value of the securities of any one issuer unless the issuer is
itself a REIT, a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) or is treated as a disregarded
entity for federal income tax puposes. In the case of TRSs, the Company’s
ownership of securities in all TRSs generally cannot exceed 25% (20% for taxable
years beginning on or before July 30, 2008) of the value of all of the Company’s
assets and, when considered together with other non-real estate assets, cannot
exceed 25% of the value of all of the Company’s assets. Two subsidiaries, FSP
Investments LLC and FSP Protective TRS Corp., became TRSs. As a result, FSP
Investments LLC (which is part of the Company’s investment banking/investment
services segment) and FSP Protective TRS Corp. operate as taxable corporations
under the Code and have accounted for income taxes in accordance with the
related accounting pronouncement.
Income
taxes are recorded based on the future tax effects of the difference between the
tax and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. In
estimating future tax consequences, potential future events are considered
except for potential changes in income tax law or in rates.
The
Company’s adopted an accounting pronouncement related to uncertainty in income
taxes effective January 1, 2007, which did not result in recording a liability,
nor was any accrued interest and penalties recognized with the adoption. Accrued
interest and penalties will be recorded as income tax expense, if the Company
records a liability in the future. The Company’s effective tax rate was not
affected by the adoption. The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries files
income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state
jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for the Company’s income tax returns
is generally three years and as such, the Company’s returns that remain subject
to examination would be primarily from 2005 and thereafter.
The
income tax expense reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income
relates only to the TRSs. The expense differs from the amounts computed by
applying the federal statutory rate to income before taxes as

Taxes

there were no material temporary differences between the financial reporting
basis and the tax basis of the TRSs. During the nine months ended September 30,
2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, FSP Investments had a federal tax
benefit of approximately $830,000 and $736,000, respectively, arising from
losses which should be fully utilized by carrying those losses back to tax years
2006 and 2007, and carrying forward a net operating loss of approximately
$1,306,000 to future years. For state tax reporting purposes, a valuation
allowance of approximately $158,000 and $136,000 was recorded during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and the three months ended December 31, 2008 to
reduce the tax benefit of these losses from FSP Investments due to recent tax
legislation in Massachusetts that will most likely hinder the ability to use the
loss carry-forward.

Income
Taxes (continued)
|
In
May 2006, the State of Texas enacted a business tax (the “Revised Texas
Franchise Tax”) that replaced its existing franchise tax. The Revised Texas
Franchise Tax is a tax at a rate of approximately 0.7% of revenues at Texas
properties commencing with 2007 revenues. Some of the Company’s leases allow
reimbursement by tenants for these amounts because the Revised Texas Franchise
Tax replaces a portion of the property tax for school districts. Because the tax
base on the Revised Texas Franchise Tax is derived from an income based measure,
it is considered an income tax and is accounted for in accordance with the
related accounting pronouncement. The Company recorded a provision on its
condensed consolidated statements of income taxes of $186,000 and $182,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
|
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Historical results and
percentage relationships set forth in the condensed consolidated financial
statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as
necessarily indicative of future operations. The following discussion and other
parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may also contain forward-looking
statements based on current judgments and current knowledge of management, which
are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking
statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation, economic
conditions in the United States, disruptions in the debt markets, economic
conditions in the markets in which we own properties, changes in the demand by
investors for investment in Sponsored REITs, risks of a lessening of demand for
the types of real estate owned by us, changes in government regulations, and
expenditures that cannot be anticipated such as utility rate and usage
increases, unanticipated repairs, additional staffing, insurance increases and
real estate tax valuation reassessments. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” below.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity,
performance or achievements. We may not update any of the forward-looking
statements after the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed to conform
them to actual results or to changes in our expectations that occur after such
date, other than as required by law.
Overview
FSP
Corp., or the Company, operates in two business segments: real estate operations
and investment banking/investment services. The real estate operations segment
involves real estate rental operations, leasing, secured financing of real
estate for interim acquisition or other property financing, and services
provided for asset management, property management, property acquisitions,
dispositions and development. The investment banking/investment services segment
involves the structuring of real estate investments and broker/dealer services
that include the organization of Sponsored REITs, the acquisition and
development of real estate on behalf of Sponsored REITs and the raising of
capital to equitize the Sponsored REITs through sale of preferred stock in
private placements.
The
main factor that affects our real estate operations is the broad economic market
conditions in the United States. These market conditions affect the occupancy
levels and the rent levels on both a national and local level. We have no
influence on the national market conditions. We look to acquire and/or develop
quality properties in good locations in order to lessen the impact of downturns
in the market and to take advantage of upturns when they occur.
Our
investment banking/investment services customers are primarily institutions and
high net-worth individuals. To the extent that the broad capital markets affect
these investors our business is also affected. These investors have many
investment choices. We must continually search for real estate at a price and at
a competitive risk/reward rate of return that meets our customer’s risk/reward
profile for providing a stream of income and as a long-term hedge against
inflation.
Due
to the transactional nature of significant portions of our business, our
quarterly financial metrics have historically been quite variable. We do not
manage our business to quarterly targets but rather manage our business to
longer-term targets. Consequently, we consider annual financial results to be
much more meaningful for performance and trend measurements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
have certain critical accounting policies that are subject to judgments and
estimates by our management and uncertainties of outcome that affect the
application of these policies. We base our estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. In the event
estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments
are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The
accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the understanding of
our financial position and results of operations, and that require significant
management estimates and judgments, are discussed in Item 7, Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Critical
accounting policies are those that have the most impact on the reporting of our
financial condition and results of operations and those requiring significant
judgments and estimates. We believe that our judgments and assessments are
consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly presents our
results of operations. No changes to our critical accounting policies have
occurred since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
22
Trends
and Uncertainties
Economic
Conditions
The
economy in the United States is continuing to experience significant
disruptions, including increased levels of unemployment, the failure and near
failure of a number of financial institutions, reduced liquidity and increased
credit risk premiums for a number of market participants. Economic conditions
may be affected by numerous factors including but not limited to, inflation and
employment levels, energy prices, recessionary concerns, changes in currency
exchange rates, the availability of debt and interest rate fluctuations. The
current disruptions in the U.S. economy have affected our business and may
affect real estate values, occupancy levels, property income and the propensity
and the ability of investors to invest in our Sponsored REITs in the future. At
this time, we cannot predict the extent or duration of any negative impact that
the current disruptions in the U.S. economy will have on our
business.
On
July 21, 2008, we announced that we had reduced our regular quarterly dividend
to $0.19 per share of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2008,
which was paid on August 20, 2008. In our July 21, 2008 announcement, we noted
that we had experienced a significant slowing of activity in, and lower profit
contribution from, two transactional components of our business, investment
banking/investment services and property dispositions, since the onset of the
current disruptions in the U.S. economy. We also noted that our
ongoing/recurring real estate operations continued to show solid performance and
that our board of directors believed it was prudent to better align our regular
quarterly dividends with the results of our current real estate operations only,
without taking into account the results of our less predictable transactional
operations. Since the third quarter of 2008, we have continued to experience
significantly reduced activity in, and lower profit contribution from, these two
transactional components of our business, investment banking/investment services
and property dispositions. However, since the third quarter of 2008, our real
estate operations continued to show steady performance, and we have announced
dividends of $0.19 per share of common stock for each quarterly
period.
Real
Estate Operations
Our
real estate portfolio was approximately 90% leased as of September 30, 2009,
down from 92% leased as of June 30, 2009. New leasing activity remains slow in
most of our markets and we do not expect to see an increase in the pace of
leasing until the broader economic markets stabilize and there is new job
growth. Approximately 8% of the square footage in our portfolio is scheduled to
expire during the remainder of 2009 and 13% is scheduled to expire during 2010.
While we cannot predict when existing vacancy will be leased or if existing
tenants with expiring leases will renew their leases or what the terms and
conditions of the lease renewals will be, we expect to renew or sign new leases
at current market rates for locations in which the buildings are located, which
in many cases may be below the expiring rates.
As
the economic downturn continues, we believe the potential for any of our tenants
to default on its lease or to seek the protection of bankruptcy laws has
increased. If any of our tenants defaults on its lease, we may experience delays
in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in
protecting our investment. In addition, at any time, a tenant of one of our
properties may seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, which could result in the
rejection and termination of such tenant’s lease and thereby cause a reduction
in cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
We
own an office property, which we refer to as the Property, located in Glen
Allen, Virginia, a suburb of Richmond that includes three buildings containing
an aggregate of approximately 297,789 rentable square feet of space. Capital One
Services, Inc., which we refer to as CapOne, leased 100% of the Property from us
pursuant to a lease, which we refer to as the CapOne Lease, that expired on
October 31, 2009. LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc., which we refer to as
LandAm, sublet 100% of the Property from CapOne pursuant to a sublease that also
expired on October 31, 2009. Commencing on November 1, 2009, LandAm was
scheduled to directly lease 100% of the Property from us pursuant to a lease,
which we refer to as the LandAm Lease, that was due to expire on October 31,
2016. On November 26, 2008, LandAm filed a voluntary motion for relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division, which
we refer to as the Bankruptcy Court. On June 19, 2009, LandAm filed a notice of
rejection of the LandAm Lease with the Bankruptcy Court. The CapOne Lease
remained in effect, and CapOne remained financially obligated to us for all
payments of rent due under the CapOne Lease through October 31, 2009. As of
November 3, 2009, approximately 64,000 rentable square feet of space had been
leased to three different tenants at the Property. We continue to receive
expressions of interest in the Property from other potential replacement tenants
and continue to be optimistic that our leasing efforts will be successful.
However, we cannot predict how long it will take to lease the vacant space or
what the terms and conditions of any new lease or leases will be, although we
would expect to sign new leases at current market rates which will likely be
below the expiring rates.
23
Investment
Banking/Investment Services
Unlike
our real estate operations business, which provides a rental revenue stream
which is ongoing and recurring in nature, our investment banking/investment
services business is transactional in nature. Equity raised for Sponsored REIT
syndications for 2008 was $57.4 million. Equity raised for Sponsored REIT
syndications for the first three quarters of 2009 was
insignificant.
In
August 2007, one of our Sponsored REITs, FSP Grand Boulevard Corp., purchased an
office property located in Kansas City, Missouri. Permanent equity
capitalization of the property was structured as a private placement preferred
stock offering totaling $65 million, and was fully subscribed in the second
quarter of 2009. We purchased a total of 175.5 shares of preferred stock in the
Sponsored REIT at a net cost of approximately $15 million. The balance of the
offering was subscribed primarily by institutions and high net worth
individuals, our traditional customer base. In May 2008, one of our Sponsored
REITs, FSP 385 Interlocken Development Corp., began development of an office
property located in Broomfield, Colorado. Permanent equity capitalization of the
property was structured as a private placement offering of preferred stock
totaling $38 million, $33.5 million of which had been closed in as of
September 30, 2009. The offering is ongoing as of the beginning of the fourth
quarter of 2009. In September 2009, we commenced a private placement offering of
preferred stock totaling $21 million, none of which had been closed in as of
September 30, 2009, in a Sponsored REIT, FSP Lakeside Crossing II Corp.,
that is expected to own an office property in Maryland Heights, Missouri. This
offering is also ongoing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of
2009.
The
slowdown in our investment banking business actually began in the third quarter
of 2007 and, at this point, it remains unclear when or if a higher volume of
equity investment will return. Business in this area, while always uncertain,
continues to be adversely affected by the current turmoil in the financial, debt
and real estate markets. Investors who have historically participated in our
private placement real estate offerings have expressed concern and uncertainty
about investing in this environment. Recently, however, some investors have
expressed cautious interest in investing some portion of their capital in
specific property situations.
In
addition to difficulties in raising equity from potential real estate investors
in this market, our property acquisition executives are now grappling with
greater uncertainty surrounding the valuation levels for prime commercial
investment real estate. We believe that the current turmoil in the debt markets,
as well as perceptions about the future U.S. economy and interest rates, are
producing a larger than normal divergence in the perception of value and future
relative investment performance of commercial properties. While we generally
believe that such an environment has the potential to produce some exceptional
property acquisition opportunities, caution, perspective and disciplined
underwriting standards can significantly impact the timing of any future
acquisitions. Consequently, our ability to provide a regular stream of real
estate investment product necessary to grow our overall investment
banking/investment services business continues to remain uncertain as the fourth
quarter of 2009 begins. We also continue to rely solely on our in-house
investment executives to access interested investors who have capital they can
afford to place in an illiquid position for an indefinite period of time (i.e.,
invest in a Sponsored REIT). We continue to evaluate whether our in-house sales
force is capable, either through our existing client base or through new
clients, of raising sufficient investment capital in Sponsored REITs to achieve
future performance objectives.

Comparison
of the three months ended September 30, 2009 to the three months ended September
30, 2008:
Revenues
Total
revenues increased by $3.2 million to $32.1 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009, as compared to $28.9 million for the quarter ended September
30, 2008. The increase was primarily a result of:
|
o
|
An
increase in rental revenue of approximately $3.8 million arising primarily
from the acquisition of four properties, which were located in Virginia
and Missouri that were acquired in December 2008, and in Virginia and
Minnesota that were acquired in June 2009, and to a lesser extent, early
termination fees of $0.4 million received during the three months ended
September 30, 2009.
|
The
increase was partially offset by:
|
o
|
A
$0.6 million decrease in syndication fees and transaction (loan
commitment) fees, which was principally a result of the decrease in gross
syndication proceeds for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to
the same period in 2008.
|
Expenses
Total
expenses increased by $3.3 million to $25.9 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The
increase was primarily a result of:
25
|
o
|
An
increase in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and
insurance of approximately $1.4 million, and depreciation of $1.1 million,
which were primarily from the acquisition of four properties, which were
located in Virginia and Missouri that were acquired in December 2008, and
in Virginia and Minnesota that were acquired in June
2009.
|
|
o
|
An
increase in interest expense of approximately $0.6 million primarily as a
result of the addition of the Term Loan, which was borrowed in October
2008; and was partially offset by lower average interest rates during the
three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2008.
|
|
o
|
An
increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.3 million, which was
primarily the result of acquisition costs of $0.4 million that were
recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2009 related to the
acquisition of a property in Virginia completed in September 2009. We had
41 and 40 employees as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, at
our headquarters in Wakefield.
|
The
increase was partially offset by:
|
o
|
A
decrease in commission expense of $0.2 million, which was principally a
result of the decrease in gross syndication proceeds in the three months
ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September
30, 2008.
|
Interest
income
Interest
income decreased $0.2 million to $16,000 during the three months ended September
30, 2009, which was primarily a result of lower average interest rates on
invested funds and a lower average balance of cash and cash equivalents in 2009
compared to the same period in 2008.
Equity in earnings of
non-consolidated REITs
Equity
in earnings from non-consolidated REITs decreased approximately $0.2 million to
$0.5 million compared to $0.7 million during the three months ended September
30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to
lower equity in income of the Company’s investment in FSP 303 East Wacker Drive
Corp., which we refer to as East Wacker.
Taxes on
income
Taxes
on income was a benefit of $0.3 million in both periods and is primarily due to
a taxable loss from the investment banking and investment services business,
which was principally a result of lower gross syndication proceeds during the
three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Net
income
Net
income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $6.9 million compared
to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, for the reasons
described above.

Comparison
of the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to the nine months ended September
30, 2008:
Revenues
Total
revenue increased by $1.6 million to $92.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The
increase was primarily a result of:
|
o
|
An
increase to rental revenue of approximately $8.5 million arising primarily
from the acquisition of a property in Texas in May 2008, the acquisition
of two properties located in Virginia and Missouri in December 2008, and
the acquisition of two properties located in Virginia and Minnesota that
were acquired in June 2009, and early termination fees of $0.8 million
received during the nine months ended September 30,
2009.
|
This
increase was partially offset by:
|
o
|
A
$6.8 million decrease in syndication fees and transaction (loan
commitment) fees, which was principally a result of the decrease in gross
syndication proceeds for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared
to the same period in 2008.
|
|
o
|
A
decrease in loan interest income of approximately $0.1 million, which was
principally a result of lower interest rates charged during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 as compared the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, from which interest income is derived. Interest rates
charged are primarily based on our borrowing costs, which are at floating
rates and were also lower during the periods in 2009 than
2008.
|
27
Expenses
Total
expenses increased by approximately $6.6 million to $75.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2008. The increase was primarily a result of:
|
o
|
An
increase in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and
insurance of approximately $2.7 million, and depreciation and amortization
of $4.3 million, which were primarily from the acquisition of a property
in Texas in May 2008, the acquisition of two properties located in
Virginia and Missouri in December 2008, and the acquisition of two
properties located in Virginia and Minnesota that were acquired in June
2009.
|
|
o
|
An
increase in interest expense of approximately $1.6 million primarily as a
result of the addition of the Term Loan, which was borrowed in October
2008; and was partially offset by lower average interest rates during the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2008.
|
These
increases were partially offset by:
|
o
|
A
decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.2 million, which was
primarily the result of a net decrease in discretionary and other
compensation costs of $0.7 million, which was partially offset by an
increase from acquisition costs of $0.6 million that were recorded in the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 related to the acquisition of two
properties in June 2009 and the acquisition of a property in September
2009. We had 41 and 40 employees as of September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, at our headquarters in
Wakefield.
|
|
o
|
A
decrease in commission expense of $1.8 million, which was principally a
result of the decrease in gross syndication proceeds in the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in
2008.
|
Interest
income
Interest
income decreased $0.6 million to $0.1 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, which was primarily a result of lower average interest rates
on invested funds and lower average balances of cash and cash equivalents in
2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
Equity in earnings of
non-consolidated REITs
Equity
in earnings from non-consolidated REITs decreased approximately $0.5 million to
$1.7 million, which was principally a result of our preferred stock investment
in East Wacker during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the
same period of 2008.
Taxes on
income
Taxes
on income decreased approximately $0.3 million to a credit of $0.6 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period of
2008. The decrease was primarily due to a lower taxable income from the
investment banking and investment services business in the 2009 period compared
to 2008.
Net
income
Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $19.6 million compared
to $25.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, for the reasons
described above.
28
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
and cash equivalents were $26.4 million and $29.2 million at September 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008, respectively. This decrease of $2.8 million is
attributable to $51.5 million provided by operating activities less $153.1
million used by investing activities plus $98.8 million provided by financing
activities. Management believes that existing cash, cash anticipated to be
generated internally by operations, cash anticipated to be generated by the sale
of preferred stock in future Sponsored REITs and our existing debt financing
will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital
expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Although there is no guarantee
that we will be able to obtain the funds necessary for our future growth, we
anticipate generating funds from continuing real estate operations and from fees
and commissions from the sale of shares in newly formed Sponsored REITs. We
believe that we have adequate funds to cover unusual expenses and capital
improvements, in addition to normal operating expenses. Our ability to maintain
or increase our level of dividends to stockholders, however, depends in
significant part upon the level of interest on the part of investors in
purchasing shares of Sponsored REITs and the level of rental income from our
real properties.
Operating
Activities
The
cash provided by our operating activities of $51.5 million is primarily
attributable to net income of $19.6 million, plus the add-back of $27.2 million
of non-cash activities, $4.3 million of distributions from non-consolidated
REITs, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately
$3.4 million. These increases were partially offset by increases in tenant rent
receivables of $0.2 million, prepaid and other assets of $0.5 million, decreases
in security deposits of $0.1 million and payment of leasing commissions of $2.2
million.
Investing
Activities
Our
cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
of $153.1 million is primarily attributable to additions to real estate
investments and office equipment of approximately $130.8 million and secured
loans made to Sponsored REITs of approximately $22.1 million and an investment
in preferred shares of a Sponsored REIT of $13.2 million, which were partially
offset by a decrease in assets held for syndication of $13.0
million.
Financing
Activities
Our
cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 of $98.8 million is primarily attributable to net proceeds from an equity
offering of $115.4 million (before payment of accrued offering costs of
approximately $0.7 million), net borrowings under our Revolver of $23.5 million
and was partially offset by distributions paid to shareholders of $40.2
million.
Revolver
The
Revolver is with a group of banks for borrowings at our election of up to
$250,000,000 and matures on August 11, 2011. Borrowings under the Revolver bear
interest at either the bank's prime rate (3.25% at September 30, 2009) or a rate
equal to LIBOR plus 100 basis points (1.25% at September 30, 2009). There were
borrowings of $91,008,000 and $67,468,000 at the LIBOR plus 100 basis point rate
at a weighted average rate of 1.24% and 2.39% outstanding under the Revolver at
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The weighted average
interest rate on amounts outstanding during the nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008 was approximately 1.34% and 3.90%, respectively; and for the year
ended December 31, 2008 was approximately 3.61%. As of September 30, 2009, we
were in compliance with all bank covenants under the Revolver.
We
have drawn on the Revolver, and intend to draw on the Revolver in the future for
a variety of corporate purposes, including the funding of interim mortgage loans
to Sponsored REITs and the acquisition of properties that we acquire directly
for our portfolio. We typically cause mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs to be
secured by a first mortgage against the real property owned by the Sponsored
REIT. We make these loans to enable a Sponsored REIT to acquire real property
prior to the consummation of the offering of its equity interests, and the loan
is repaid out of the offering proceeds. We also may make secured loans to
Sponsored REITs for the purpose of funding construction costs, capital
expenditures, leasing costs or for other purposes that we anticipate will be
repaid at their maturity or earlier from long term financings of the underlying
properties, cash flows of the underlying properties or some other capital
events.
29
Term
Loan
On
October 15, 2008, we closed on a $75,000,000 unsecured term loan facility with
three banks. Proceeds from the Term Loan were used to reduce the outstanding
principal balance on the Revolver. The Term Loan has an initial three-year term
that matures on October 15, 2011. In addition, we have the right to extend the
initial maturity date for up to two successive one-year periods, or until
October 15, 2013 if both extensions are exercised. We fixed the interest rate
for the initial three-year term of the Term Loan at 5.84% per annum pursuant to
an interest rate swap agreement. As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance
with all bank covenants under the Term Loan.
Equity
Securities
On
September 23, 2009, we completed an underwritten public offering of 9.2 million
shares of our common stock (including 1.2 million shares issued as a result of
the full exercise of an overallotment option by the underwriter) at a price to
the public of $13.00 per share. The proceeds from this public offering, net of
underwriter discounts and offering costs, totaled approximately $114.7 million.
We used approximately $74.6 million of the net proceeds of the offering to repay
outstanding borrowings under our $250 million Revolver, including an
aggregate of approximately $51.6 million drawn down in June 2009 for the
acquisition of properties in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and Chantilly, Virginia.
FSP Corp. We used the remainder of the net proceeds to fund a portion of the
purchase price of a property in Falls Church, Virginia in September
2009.
As
of September 30, 2009, we have an automatic shelf registration statement on Form
S-3 on file with the SEC relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of
an indeterminate amount of our common stock. From time to time, we expect to
issue additional shares of our common stock under our automatic shelf
registration statement or a different registration statement to fund the
acquisition of additional properties, to pay down any existing debt financing
and for other corporate purposes.
Contingencies
From
time to time, we may provide financing to Sponsored REITs in the form of a
construction loan and/or a revolving line of credit secured by a mortgage. As of
September 30, 2009, we were committed to fund up to $85.8 million to six
Sponsored REITs under such arrangements for the purpose of funding construction
costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs or for other purposes, of which $23.3
million has been drawn and is outstanding. We anticipate that advances made
under these facilities will be repaid at their maturity date or earlier from
long-term financings of the underlying properties, cash flows from the
underlying properties or capital events.
We
may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the
ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or
settlements) may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters
will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of
operations.
Assets
Held for Syndication
As
of September 30, 2009, we had no assets held for syndication. As of December 31,
2008, we had one asset held for syndication, a property in Kansas City,
Missouri, which was completed on May 29, 2009.
Related
Party Transactions
On
May 15, 2008, we acquired Park Ten Development by merger for a total purchase
price of approximately $35.4 million. The acquisition was effected by merging a
wholly owned acquisition subsidiary of the Company with and into Park Ten
Development. The holders of preferred stock in Park Ten Development received
cash consideration of approximately $127,290 per share.
In
September 2009, we commenced the syndication of FSP Lakeside Crossing II Corp.,
which is still in process as of September 30, 2009. In May 2008, we commenced
the syndication of FSP 385 Interlocken Development Corp., which is still in
process as of September 30, 2009. During 2007, we commenced the syndication of
FSP Grand Boulevard Corp., which was completed May 29, 2009. As part of this
syndication, we purchased the final 175.5 preferred shares of its preferred
stock for approximately $15 million on May 29, 2009, representing approximately
a 27.0% interest.
We
typically make interim mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs that enable Sponsored
REITs to acquire their respective properties prior to the consummation of the
offerings of their equity interests. The interim mortgage loans are subsequently
repaid out of offering proceeds. As of September 30, 2009, there were no interim
mortgage loans outstanding. From time-to-time we also make secured loans to
Sponsored REITs for the purpose of funding construction costs, capital
expenditures, leasing costs and for other purposes, which we refer to as the
Sponsored REIT Loans. We are typically entitled to interest on the funds that we
advance to make interim mortgage loans and the Sponsored REIT
Loans.
30
Sponsored
REIT Loans
Since
December 2007, we have provided revolving lines of credit to five Sponsored
REITs, or to wholly-owned subsidiaries of those Sponsored REITs, and a
construction loan to one wholly-owned subsidiary of another Sponsored REIT. Each
of the Sponsored REIT Loans is secured by a mortgage on the underlying property
and has a term of approximately three years. Advances under each of the
Sponsored REIT Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus
an agreed upon amount of basis points and most advances also require a 50 basis
point draw fee. We also received a $210,000 loan commitment fee at the time of
the closing of the construction loan. We anticipate that any advances made under
the Sponsored REIT Loans will be repaid at their maturity or earlier from long
term financing of the underlying properties, cash flows of the underlying
properties or some other capital events.

For
a discussion of transactions between us and related parties during 2008, see
Footnote No. 4 “Related Party Transactions” to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
Other
Considerations
We
generally pay the ordinary annual operating expenses of our properties from the
rental revenue generated by the properties. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, the rental income exceeded the expenses for each
individual property, with the exception of our property located at Federal Way,
Washington and expenses exceeded income for the three months ended September 30,
2009 at our property located at Southfield, Michigan.
Our
property located in Federal Way, Washington had a single tenant lease, which
expired September 14, 2006. During 2007 and 2008, we signed leases with three
tenants and in May 2009 with another tenant for an aggregate total of
approximately 16% of the space, which generated rental income of $87,000 and
$246,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, and had
operating expenses of $130,000 and $400,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009, respectively. The 2007 and 2008 leases generated rental
income of $69,000 and $260,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008, and had operating expenses of $156,000 and $444,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. We expect the property will not
produce revenue to cover its expenses in the fourth quarter of
2009.
31
Our
property located in Southfield, Michigan with approximately 215,000 square feet
of rentable space had a lease with a tenant for approximately 138,000 square
feet of space that expired on July 31, 2009. The tenant re-leased approximately
83,000 square feet and vacated approximately 55,000 square feet. On September
15, 2009, a lease with a different tenant at the property expired and
approximately 17,000 square feet of space was vacated. As a result, for the
three months ended September 30, 2009, the leases in place generated rental
income of $526,000 and operating expenses of $630,000. We expect the property
will not produce revenue to cover its expenses in the fourth quarter of
2009.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
|
We
are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our floating rate
borrowing arrangements. We use interest rate derivative instruments to manage
exposure to interest rate changes. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008, if market rates on borrowings under our Revolver increased by 10% at
maturity, or approximately 12 and 24 basis points, respectively, over the
current variable rate, the increase in interest expense would decrease future
earnings and cash flows by $0.1 million and $0.2 million annually. The interest
rate on our Revolver as of September 30, 2009 was LIBOR plus 100 basis points.
We do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by borrowings under
our Revolver is material as of September 30, 2009.
Our
Term Loan of $75 million bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 200
basis points, with a 2% floor on LIBOR, which was fixed at 5.84% per annum for
its initial three year term with an interest rate swap agreement, and therefore,
the fair value of this instrument is affected by changes in market interest
rates. We believe that we have mitigated interest rate risk with respect to the
Term Loan through the interest rate swap agreement for the initial three year
term of the loan. This interest rate swap agreement was our only derivative
instrument as of September 30, 2009.
The
Term Loan has an initial three year term that matures on October 15, 2011. In
addition, we have the right to extend the initial maturity date for up to two
successive one-year periods, or until October 15, 2013 if both extensions are
exercised. Upon maturity, our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant
to financial instruments will be dependent upon the balance then outstanding and
prevalent market interest rates.

flows related to interest on our Term Loan as of September 30, 2009 (in

Our
Term Loan hedging transaction used a derivative instrument that involves certain
additional risks such as counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging
contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest
rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. The counterparty
to our derivative arrangement is RBS Citizens, N.A., which has a Moody’s rating
of A2. As a result, we do not anticipate that the counterparty will fail to meet
its obligations. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
adequately protect against the foregoing risks or that we will ultimately
realize an economic benefit that exceeds the related amounts incurred in
connection with engaging in such hedging strategies.
The
Revolver matures in August 2011 and has a variable rate of interest. Upon
maturity, our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial
instruments will be dependent upon the balance then outstanding and prevalent
market interest rates.
We
borrow from time-to-time under the Revolver. These borrowings bear interest at
the bank’s base rate (3.25% at September 30, 2009) or a 30-day LIBOR plus 100
basis points (1.25% at September 30, 2009), as elected by us when requesting
funds. Generally the borrowings are for 30-day LIBOR plus 100 basis points.
There were borrowings totaling $91,008,000 and $67,468,000 in the aggregate at
the 30-day LIBOR plus 100 basis point rate, representing a weighted average rate
of 1.24% and 2.39% outstanding under the Revolver at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. We have drawn on the Revolver, and intend to
draw on the Revolver in the future for a variety of corporate purposes,
including the funding of interim mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs and the
acquisition of properties that we acquire directly for our portfolio. Generally
interim mortgage loans bear interest at the same variable rate payable by us
under our line of credit. As of September 30, 2009, there were no interim
mortgage loans outstanding. We also may draw on the Revolver to fund our
Sponsored REIT Loans. Information about our Sponsored REIT Loans as of September
30, 2009 is incorporated herein by reference to “Part I. - Item 2. –
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Sponsored REIT
Loans”.

The
following table presents as of September 30, 2009 our contractual variable rate
borrowings under our Revolver, which matures on August 11, 2011, and under our
Term Loan, which matures on October 15, 2011. Under the Term Loan we have the
right to extend the initial maturity date for up to two successive one-year
periods, or until October 15, 2013 if both extensions are exercised

Controls
and Procedures
|
Our
management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of September 30, 2009. The term “disclosure controls and
procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, means controls and other procedures of a company that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives
and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009, our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance
level.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No
change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the
quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

PART

Item

|
Legal
Proceedings
|
From
time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in
the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or
settlements) may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters
will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or
results of operations.
Item
1A.
|
Risk
Factors
|
There
were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk
Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008,
except (i) for the update set forth below and (ii) to the extent previously
updated or to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such risk factors. In addition to
the update below and the other information set forth in this report, you should
carefully consider the risk factors discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K,
which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future
results. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not
the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating
results.
Further
issuances of equity securities may be dilutive to current
stockholders.
The interests of our existing
stockholders could be diluted if additional equity securities are issued to
finance future acquisitions, repay indebtedness or to fund other general
corporate purposes. Our ability to
execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of
debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured
and unsecured debt, and equity financing.

Proceeds

Use
of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock
On
September 23, 2009, Franklin Street Properties Corp., or FSP Corp., completed an
underwritten public offering of 9.2 million shares of its common stock
(including 1.2 million shares issued as a result of the full exercise of an
overallotment option by the underwriter) at a price to the public of $13.00 per
share, or an aggregate offering price of $119.6 million. The offer and sales of
the shares in the offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933
pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.
333-158898), which became effective upon its filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 29, 2009 and which registered an indeterminate
amount of common stock. The offering commenced on September 17, 2009 and did not
terminate before all of the securities offered were sold. Robert W. Baird &
Co. Incorporated acted as sole book-running manager of the
offering.
FSP
Corp. raised approximately $114.7 million in the offering, after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions of $3.6 million and other estimated
offering costs of $1.3 million. No payments were made by FSP Corp. to its
directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of its common stock or
to their associates, or to FSP Corp.’s affiliates. FSP Corp. used approximately
$74.6 million of the net proceeds of the offering to repay outstanding
borrowings under its $250 million unsecured revolving line of credit, including
an aggregate of approximately $51.6 million drawn down in June 2009 for the
acquisition of properties in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and Chantilly, Virginia.
FSP Corp. used the remaining proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price of
a property in Falls Church, Virginia in September 2009.

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will use our best efforts to
redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders who request such redemption.
Any FSP Corp. stockholder wishing to have shares redeemed must make such a
request no later than July 1 of any year for a redemption that would be
effective the following January 1. This obligation is subject to significant
conditions. However, as our common stock is currently listed for trading on the
NYSE Amex, we are no longer obligated to, and do not intend to, effect any such
redemption.
