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 fourteen 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 33
properties as of June 30, 2010. 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
September 23, 2009, the Company 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. The
proceeds from this public offering, net of underwriter discounts and offering
costs, totaled approximately $114.7 million.
On
May 6, 2010, the Company entered into an on demand offering sales agreement
whereby the Company may offer and sell up to an aggregate gross sales price of
$75 million of its common stock from time to time. Sales of shares of
the Company’s common stock, if any, will depend upon market conditions and other
factors determined by the Company and may be deemed to be “at the market
offerings” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
including sales made directly on the NYSE Amex or sales made to or through a
market maker other than on an exchange, as well as in negotiated transactions,
if and to the extent agreed by the Company in writing. The Company
has no obligation to sell any shares of its common stock, and may at any time
suspend solicitation and offers. The Company has not sold any shares
under the demand offering sales agreement.
Properties
The
following table summarizes the Company’s investment in real estate assets,
excluding assets held for syndication and assets held for sale:

On
June 29, 2010, the Company acquired two office buildings totaling approximately
470,000 square feet, located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. The buildings
were acquired for a purchase price of approximately $40.5 million excluding
closing costs and adjustments.
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, 2009, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Properties, Basis of Presentation, Financial Instruments and Recent
Accounting Standards (continued)
|
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 six
months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010 or for any other
period.
Financial
Instruments
The
Company estimates that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents,
restricted cash, tenant rent receivables, bank note payable, term note payable
(described below), accounts 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
In
May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 required the
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events
and the basis for that date. In February 2010, the FASB issued an update to the
disclosure requirements relating to the subsequent events to exclude the date
requirement to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events and whether that date represents the date the financial
statements were issued or available to be issued. The Company is
adhering to the requirements of this pronouncement, as amended, 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 adoption of
this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

longer derives economic benefits or risks from the common stock interest that is
retained in them. Two entities were not fully syndicated at
June 30, 2010, which are 385 Interlocken and Centre
Pointe V. The
syndications of both 385 Interlocken and Centre Pointe V were completed on July
9, 2010. 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 FSP Grand Boulevard Corp. (“Grand Boulevard”),
from which it continues to derive economic benefits and
risks.

Equity
in earnings (losses) of investments in Sponsored REITs is derived from the
Company’s share of income (loss) 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 (losses) 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 $2,731,000 and $3,137,000 from
non-consolidated REITs during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.

Non-consolidated
REITs:
The
Company has in the past acquired by merger entities similar to the Sponsored
REITs. 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 2010 includes operations of the 14 Sponsored REITs the
Company held an interest in as of June 30, 2010. The operating data
for 2009 includes operations of the 12 Sponsored REITs the Company held an
interest in as of June 30, 2009.

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 $1,561,000 and $581,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Management
fees and interest income from loans:

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 $397,000 and
$448,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,

The
Company typically makes an acquisition loan (“Acquisition Loans”) to each
Sponsored REIT which is secured by a mortgage on the borrower’s real
estate. These loans enable Sponsored REITs to acquire their
respective properties prior to the consummation

of
the offerings of their equity interests. The Company anticipates that
each Acquisition Loan will be repaid at maturity or earlier from the proceeds of
the Sponsored REIT’s equity offering. Each Acquisition Loan has a
term of two years and bears interest at the same rate paid by FSP Corp. for
borrowings under the Revolver. The Company had no Acquisition Loans
outstanding as of June 30, 2010. The Company had one Acquisition Loan
outstanding for the syndication of FSP Centre Pointe V Corp. as of December 31,
2009. Acquisition Loans are classified as assets held for
syndication.
From
time-to-time the Company may also make secured loans (“Sponsored REIT Loans”) to
Sponsored REITs to fund construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs
and other purposes. Since December 2007, the Company has provided
Sponsored REIT Loans in the form of 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. The Company anticipates that each Sponsored REIT Loan will be
repaid at maturity or earlier from long term financings of the underlying
properties, cash flows from the underlying properties or some other capital
event. Each Sponsored REIT Loan is secured by a mortgage on the
underlying property and has an initial term of approximately two to three
years. Advances under each Sponsored REIT Loan 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.

Bank
Note Payable and Term Note Payable
|
As
of June 30, 2010, 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. Each
extension of the Term Loan has a 15 basis point fee if elected. 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 $1.5 million 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 June 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Revolver
The
Company’s Revolver is an unsecured revolving line of credit with a group of
banks that provides for borrowings at the Company’s election of up to $250
million. The Revolver matures on August 11,
2011. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at either the
bank's prime rate (3.25% at June 30, 2010) or a rate equal to LIBOR plus 100
basis points (1.35% at June 30, 2010).
There
were borrowings of $162,968,000 and $109,008,000 at the LIBOR plus 100 basis
point rate at a weighted average rate of 1.35% and 1.34% outstanding under the
Revolver at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The
weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding during the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately 1.29% and 1.46%, respectively;
and for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately 1.34%.
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 mortgage
loans to Sponsored REITs and the acquisition of properties that it acquires
directly for its portfolio. The Company typically causes 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 capital expenditures, costs of leasing or for other
purposes which would be repaid from long-term financing of the property, cash
flows from the property or a capital event.
Term
Loan
The
Company also has 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. Each extension has a 15 basis point
fee if elected. 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 June
30, 2010 and 2009.

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 the Company’s
derivative financial instrument at June 30, 2010. The notional value
is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in these instruments
at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market
risks (dollars in thousands).

On
June 30, 2010, the derivative instrument was reported as an obligation at its
fair value of approximately $1.7 million. This is included in other
liabilities: derivative termination value on the condensed consolidated balance
sheet at June 30, 2010. Offsetting adjustments are represented as
deferred gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.7
million. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in
accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings as an
adjustment to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest
payments affect earnings. We estimate that approximately $1.3 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 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.

Stockholders’
Equity
|
As
of June 30, 2010, the Company had 79,680,705 shares of common stock
outstanding.
On
September 23, 2009, the Company 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. The proceeds from this
public offering, net of underwriter discounts and offering costs, totaled
approximately $114.7 million.
On
May 6, 2010, the Company entered into an on demand offering sales agreement
whereby the Company may offer and sell up to an aggregate gross sales price of
$75 million of its common stock from time to time. Sales of shares of
the Company’s common stock, if any, will depend upon market conditions and other
factors determined by the Company and may be deemed to be “at the market
offerings” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
including sales made directly on the NYSE Amex or sales made to or through a
market maker other than on an exchange, as well as in negotiated transactions,
if and to the extent agreed by the Company in writing. The Company
has no obligation to sell any shares of its common stock, and may at any time
suspend solicitation and offers.

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) 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 “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, 2009. 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.

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.

Income
Taxes (continued)
|
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 or a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). In the case of a
TRS, the Company’s ownership of securities in all TRS’s generally cannot exceed
20% prior to 2009 and 25% beginning in 2009 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. The Company
has two subsidiaries, FSP Investments LLC, which is part of the Company’s
investment banking/investment services segment, and FSP Protective TRS Corp.,
which are TRSs operating as taxable corporations under the Code.
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.
Accrued interest and penalties will be
recorded as income tax expense, if the Company records a liability in the
future. 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 2006 and
thereafter.
The
income tax expense (benefit) reflected in the condensed consolidated statements
of income relates to the TRSs and a franchise tax in Texas (described
below). The expense (benefit) differs from the amounts computed by
applying the federal statutory rate to income before taxes as
follows:

Taxes
on income are a current tax expense. No deferred income taxes were
provided as there were no material temporary differences between the financial
reporting basis and the tax basis of the TRSs. A valuation allowance
of approximately $242,000 was recorded to reduce the tax benefit resulting from
the 2010 loss attributable to FSP Investments as future use of the tax benefit
at the federal and state level may be uncertain. FSP
Investments has approximately a $502,000 federal tax benefit arising from a loss
for the six months ended June 30 2009. The 2009 federal loss should
be fully utilized by carrying the loss back to the tax years 2004 and
2005. A valuation allowance of approximately $99,000 was recorded to
reduce the tax benefit from the 2009 loss from FSP Investments due to recent tax
legislation enacted in Massachusetts that will hinder the ability to use the
loss carry-forward.
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. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes on its
condensed consolidated statement of income of $113,000 and $128,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 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, 2009. 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
Franklin
Street Properties Corp., FSP 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 who 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, 2009.
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, 2009.
21
Trends
and Uncertainties
Economic
Conditions
The
economy in the United States is continuing to experience significant
disruptions, including high 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. We believe that the disruptions in the U.S. economy
contributed to a decline in occupancy in our real estate portfolio during 2009,
and that they may continue to negatively affect real estate values, occupancy
levels, property income and the propensity and the ability of investors to
invest in our Sponsored REITs during 2010. At this time, we cannot
predict the extent or duration of any negative impact that the disruptions in
the U.S. economy will have on our business.
Real
Estate Operations
Leasing
Our
real estate portfolio was approximately 85% leased as of June 30, 2010 and
approximately 84% leased as of December 31, 2009. Several properties
in our portfolio have significant lease roll scheduled to occur during the
remainder of 2010 and, as a consequence, we expect occupancy and rental income
for those properties to be lower in 2010. However, we believe that we
will be successful in re-leasing all or some portion of that vacated space in
2010 and, during the second quarter, we saw significant prospective tenant
interest at most of those properties. Successful re-leasing efforts
during the remainder of 2010 would favorably position us going into 2011, as
more modest scheduled lease expirations of approximately 7%, 8% and 8% of our
square footage are projected in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
While
we cannot generally predict when existing vacancy in our real estate portfolio
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. Also, in light of the current economic conditions, we believe
the potential for any of our tenants to default on its lease or to seek the
protection of bankruptcy still exists. 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.
Acquisitions
Our
property acquisition efforts in the second quarter of 2010 culminated in our
acquisition on June 29, 2010 of two office buildings totaling approximately
470,000 square feet located in downtown Minnesota for a purchase price of
approximately $40.5 million excluding closing costs and
adjustments. We continue to pursue acquisition opportunities and
anticipate that those efforts could result in one or more additional property
acquisitions during the remainder of 2010. New property acquisitions
are anticipated to provide additional accretive rental income.
Dispositions
We
continue to evaluate our portfolio, and in the future may decide to dispose of
properties from time-to-time in the ordinary course of business. We
believe that the current property sales environment remains challenged relative
to both liquidity and pricing. However, we also believe that we are
witnessing improving pricing and liquidity in certain markets, extending a trend
that we believe began in the second half of 2009. We believe that
both improving office property fundamentals as well as plentiful and attractive
financing availability will likely be required to meaningfully improve the
marketplace for property dispositions. As an important part of our
total return strategy, we intend to be active in property dispositions when we
believe that market conditions warrant such activity.
22
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 was $10.4 million during the six months ended June
30, 2010 compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2009. For the year ended December 31, 2009, syndication proceeds
decreased 29.6% to $40.4 million compared to $57.4 million in
2008. We do not currently have any open private placement
offerings.
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, $37.8 million of which had been closed in as of June 30,
2010. This private placement offering was completed on July 9,
2010. In December 2009, one of our Sponsored REITs, FSP Lakeside
Crossing II Corp., purchased an office property located in Maryland Heights,
Missouri. Permanent equity capitalization of the property was
structured as a private placement stock offering totaling $21 million, and was
fully subscribed in the fourth quarter of 2009. Also in December
2009, one of our Sponsored REITs, FSP Centre Pointe V Corp., purchased an office
property located in West Chester, Ohio. Permanent equity
capitalization of the property was structured as a private placement preferred
stock offering totaling $25 million, of which $24.9 million had been raised as
of June 30, 2010. This private placement offering was completed on
July 9, 2010.
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, has been affected by the uncertainty surrounding the future
performance of commercial property markets and the amount of available mortgage
financing for adequate capitalization of those markets. While we
believe that general investor confidence and interest in commercial real estate
investing continues to slowly improve, capital raising efforts over any specific
period of time will likely remain unpredictable. In addition, the
timing of property acquisitions that could be attractive for syndication is also
unpredictable. While still optimistic that our investment
banking/investment services business for full year 2010 will show an increase
over 2009, our ability to source and acquire attractive real estate investment
properties will likely be the controlling factor. 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 June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30,
2009:
Revenues
Total
revenues increased by $1.0 million to $31.1 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2010, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The
increase was primarily a result of:
|
o
|
A
$0.8 million increase in syndication fees and transaction (loan
commitment) fees, which was principally a result of an increase in gross
syndication proceeds for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to the
same period in 2009.
|
|
o
|
A
$0.2 million increase in interest from loan interest income from Sponsored
REITs, which was principally a result of a larger loan receivable balance
during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2009, from which interest income is
derived.
|
Expenses
Total
expenses decreased by $0.3 million to $25.5 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The increase
was primarily a result of:
|
o
|
A
decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.0
million. During the three months ended June 30, 2009
depreciation and amortization was accelerated on lease related assets from
a tenant that filed for bankruptcy and vacated space leased at a property
in Virginia. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was
partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization from the
acquisition of two properties located in Virginia and Minnesota in June
2009, and the acquisition of another property in Virginia in September
2009.
|
24
|
o
|
A
decrease in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and
insurance of approximately $0.1 million, which was primarily a result of a
real estate tax abatement of $0.4 million from a property in Illinois,
which was partially offset by increased expenses from the acquisition of
two properties located in Virginia and Minnesota in June 2009, and the
acquisition of another property in Virginia in September
2009.
|
These
decreases were partially offset by:
|
o
|
An
increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.4 million, which was
primarily the result of an increase to compensation of $0.3 million and
acquisition costs of $0.1 million. We had 42 and 40 employees
as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, at our headquarters in
Wakefield.
|
|
o
|
An
increase in commission expenses of $0.3 million, which was principally a
result of an increase in gross syndication proceeds for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in
2009.
|
|
o
|
An
increase in interest expense of $0.1 million, which was principally a
result of an increase to the amount outstanding on our Revolver during the
three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June
30, 2009.
|
Equity in earnings of
non-consolidated REITs
Equity
in earnings from non-consolidated REITs decreased approximately $63,000 to
$380,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $443,000 during
the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower
equity in income from our investment in FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp., which
we refer to as East Wacker.
Taxes on
income
Taxes
on income increased $79,000 to $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010
compared to a benefit of $75,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2009. The benefit in 2010 was reduced, as we have carried back losses
in prior years and placed a valuation allowance on future tax
benefits. Tax losses are primarily from reduced activity in the
investment banking and investment services business. Included in
income taxes is the Revised Texas Franchise Tax, which is a tax on revenues at
Texas properties.
Net
income
Net
income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $6.0 million compared to
$4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, for the reasons described
above.

Comparison
of the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30,
2009:
Revenues
Total
revenues increased by $2.2 million to $62.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The
increase was primarily a result of:
|
o
|
An
increase in rental revenue of approximately $1.0 million arising primarily
from the acquisition of two properties located in Virginia and Minnesota
in June 2009, and the acquisition of another property in Virginia in
September 2009, that were included in the results for the six months ended
June 30, 2010. These increases were partially offset by the
loss of rental income from expiring leases, primarily from tenants that
leased space in properties in Colorado, Texas and Virginia that were
included in the results for the six months ended June 30,
2009.
|
|
o
|
A
$1.0 million increase in syndication fees and transaction (loan
commitment) fees, which was principally a result of an increase in gross
syndication proceeds for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to
the same period in 2009.
|
|
o
|
A
$0.2 million increase in interest from loan interest income from Sponsored
REITs, which was principally a result of a larger loan receivable balance
during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared the six months ended
June 30, 2009, from which interest income is
derived.
|
26
Expenses
Total
expenses increased by $2.4 million to $51.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The
increase was primarily a result of:
|
o
|
An
increase in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and
insurance of approximately $1.0 million, and depreciation of $0.3 million,
which were primarily from the acquisition of two properties located in
Virginia and Minnesota in June 2009, and the acquisition of another
property in Virginia in September 2009. In addition, depreciation and
amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was accelerated on
lease related assets from a tenant that filed for bankruptcy and vacated
space leased at a property in
Virginia.
|
|
o
|
An
increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.6 million, which was
primarily the result of an increase to compensation of $0.3 million,
acquisition costs of $0.1 million and $0.1 million in professional
fees. We had 42 and 40 employees as of June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, at our headquarters in
Wakefield.
|
|
o
|
An
increase in commission expenses of $0.3 million, which was principally a
result of an increase in gross syndication proceeds for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in
2009.
|
|
o
|
An
increase in interest expense of $0.2 million, which was principally a
result of an increase to the amount outstanding on our Revolver during the
six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30,
2009.
|
Equity in earnings of
non-consolidated REITs
Equity
in earnings from non-consolidated REITs decreased approximately $0.6 million to
$0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.2 million
during the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to
lower equity in income of the Company’s investment in East Wacker.
Taxes on
income
Taxes
on income increased $310,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to a tax
benefit of $64,000, compared to a benefit of $374,000 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009. The benefit in 2010 was reduced, as we have
carried back losses in prior years and placed a valuation allowance on future
tax benefits. Tax losses are primarily from reduced activity in the
investment banking and investment services business. Included in
income taxes is the Revised Texas Franchise Tax, which is a tax on revenues at
Texas properties.
Net
income
Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $11.5 million compared to
$12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, for the reasons described
above.
27
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
and cash equivalents were $21.5 million and $27.4 million at June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively. This decrease of $5.9 million is attributable
to $21.1 million provided by operating activities less $50.7 million used by
investing activities and $23.7 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 $21.1 million is primarily
attributable to net income of $11.5 million plus the add-back of $17.8 million
of non-cash activities, $2.7 million of distributions from non-consolidated
REITs, a $0.4 million decrease in tenant rent receivables, a $0.3 million
decrease in restricted cash and a $0.2 million increase in tenant security
deposits. These increases were partially offset by a $4.5
million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $7.1 million in
payments of leasing commissions and a $0.2 million increase in prepaid
expenses.
Investing
Activities
Our
cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of
$50.7 million is primarily attributable to additions to real estate investments
and office equipment of approximately $45.8 million and secured loans made to
Sponsored REITs of approximately $9.7 million. These uses were
partially offset by a decrease in assets held for syndication of $4.8
million.
Financing
Activities
Our
cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of
$23.7 million is primarily attributable to borrowings under our Revolver of
$54.0 million and was partially offset by distributions paid to stockholders of
$30.3 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 June 30, 2010)
or a rate equal to LIBOR plus 100 basis points (1.35% at June 30,
2010). There were borrowings of $162,968,000 and $109,008,000 at the
LIBOR plus 100 basis point rate at a weighted average rate of 1.35% and 1.34%
outstanding under the Revolver at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate on amounts
outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately
1.29% and 1.46%, respectively; and for the year ended December 31, 2009 was
approximately 1.34%. As of June 30, 2010, 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 acquisition of properties that we
acquire directly for our portfolio and the funding of loans to Sponsored
REITs. We typically draw down on the Revolver to make an acquisition
loan to each Sponsored REIT which is secured by a mortgage on the borrower’s
real estate. These loans typically are repaid out of the proceeds of
the borrower’s equity offering. We refer to these loans as
Acquisition Loans. From time-to-time we may also make secured loans
to Sponsored REITs to fund construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing
costs and other purposes. We anticipate that these loans will be
repaid at their maturity or earlier from long-term financings of the underlying
properties, cash flows from the underlying properties or some other capital
event. We refer to these loans as Sponsored REIT Loans.
Term
Loan
On
October 15, 2008, we closed on a $75 million 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. Each extension has a 15 basis point fee if elected. 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
June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all bank covenants under the Term
Loan.
28
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. 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.
On
May 6, 2010, we entered into an on demand offering sales agreement that allows
us to offer and sell up to an aggregate gross sales price of $75 million of our
common stock from time to time. Sales of shares of our common stock,
if any, will depend upon market conditions and other factors determined by us
and may be deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the NYSE
Amex or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, as
well as in negotiated transactions, if and to the extent agreed by us in
writing. We have no obligation to sell any shares of our common
stock, and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers. We have
not sold any shares under the demand offering sales agreement.
As
of June 30, 2010, 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 June 30, 2010, 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 $46.3 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 another
other capital event.
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
During
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, we had one asset
held for syndication for a property in West Chester, Ohio, which was fully
subscribed on July 9, 2010. The loan to this syndication was repaid
on June 29, 2010.
Related
Party Transactions
In
November 2009, we commenced the syndication of FSP Centre Pointe V Corp., which
was in process as of June 30, 2010 and was completed on July 9,
2010. In September 2009, we commenced the syndication of FSP Lakeside
Crossing II Corp., which was completed December 15, 2009. In May
2008, we commenced the syndication of FSP 385 Interlocken Development Corp.,
which was in process as of June 30, 2010 and was completed on July 9,
2010. 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 shares of its preferred stock for
approximately $15 million on May 29, 2009, representing an approximately 27%
interest.
We
have drawn on the Revolver, and intend to draw on the Revolver in the future for
a variety of corporate purposes, including the acquisition of properties that we
acquire directly for our portfolio and for loans to Sponsored REITs, including
the Acquisition Loans and the Sponsored REIT Loans described
below. Additional Information about our Acquisition Loans and our
Sponsored REIT Loans outstanding as of June 30, 2010, including a summary table
of the Sponsored REIT Loans, is incorporated herein by reference to Note 3,
“Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities –
Management fees and interest income from loans”, in the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
29
Loans to Sponsored
REITs
Acquisition
Loans
We
typically make an acquisition loan to each Sponsored REIT which is secured by a
mortgage on the borrower’s real estate. These loans enable Sponsored
REITs to acquire their respective properties prior to the consummation of the
offerings of their equity interests. We refer to these loans as
Acquisition Loans. We anticipate that each Acquisition Loan will be
repaid at maturity or earlier from the proceeds of the Sponsored REIT’s equity
offering. Each Acquisition Loan has a term of two years and bears
interest at the same rate paid by FSP Corp. for borrowings under the
Revolver. We had no Acquisition Loans outstanding at June 30,
2010. We had one Acquisition Loan outstanding for the syndication of
FSP Centre Pointe V Corp., as of December 31, 2009. Acquisition Loans
are classified as assets held for syndication.
Sponsored
REIT Loans
From
time-to-time we may also make secured loans to Sponsored REITs to fund
construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs and other
purposes. We refer to these loans as Sponsored REIT
Loans. Since December 2007, we have provided Sponsored REIT Loans in
the form of 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. We anticipate
that each Sponsored REIT Loan will be repaid at maturity or earlier from long
term financing of the property securing the loan, cash flows from that
underlying property or some other capital event. Each Sponsored REIT
Loan is secured by a mortgage on the underlying property and has a term of
approximately two to three years. Advances under each Sponsored REIT
Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus an agreed upon
number of basis points and most advances also require a 50 basis point draw
fee. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we received a
$210,000 loan commitment fee at the time of the closing of the Sponsored REIT
Loan that is structured as a construction loan. As of June 30, 2010
we were committed to fund Sponsored REIT Loans up to $85.8 million to six
Sponsored REITs, of which $46.3 million was drawn and outstanding.
Additional
Information about our Acquisition Loans and our Sponsored REIT Loans outstanding
as of June 30, 2010, including a summary table of our Sponsored REIT Loans, is
incorporated herein by reference to Note 3, “Related Party Transactions and
Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities – Management fees and interest income
from loans”, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
included in this report.
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 six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the rental income exceeded the expenses for
each individual property, with the exception of our property located in Federal
Way, Washington, our property located in Southfield, Michigan and our property
located in Glen Allen, Virginia.
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 2009 with an additional two for an aggregate total of
approximately 26% of the space, which generated rental income of $151,000 and
$252,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and had
operating expenses of $155,000 and $296,000 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010, respectively. The property generated rental income of
$79,000 and $159,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively, and had operating expenses of $139,000 and $270,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
Our
property located in Southfield, Michigan with approximately 215,000 square feet
of rentable space, had rental revenue that covered ordinary annual operating
expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. However,
the property 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 the leases in place generated rental income of
$354,000 and $708,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010,
respectively, and had operating expenses of $449,000 and $1,012,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
Our
property located at Glen Allen, Virginia with approximately 304,000 square feet
of rentable space, had rental revenue that covered ordinary annual operating
expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The single
tenant lease at this property expired on October 31, 2009. As of June
30, 2010, several leases had been executed and the property was approximately
35% leased. As a result, the leases in place generated rental income
of $435,000 and $760,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010,
respectively, and had operating expenses of $358,000 and $769,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

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 June 30, 2010. 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 June 30, 2010, 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 June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
