GLADSTONE COMMERCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Gladstone Commercial Corporation (the Company) is a Maryland corporation that operates in a
manner so as to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes
and was incorporated on February 14, 2003 under the General Corporation Law of Maryland for the
purpose of engaging in the business of investing in real estate properties net leased to
creditworthy entities and making mortgage loans to creditworthy entities. Subject to certain
restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is managed by Gladstone Management
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Adviser).
Subsidiaries
The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Commercial
Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, (the Operating Partnership). As the Company
currently owns all of the general and limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership
through GCLP Business Trust I and II as disclosed below, the financial position and results of
operations of the Operating Partnership are consolidated with those of the Company.
Gladstone Commercial Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Commercial Partners)
and a subsidiary of the Company, was organized to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a
limited liability company may be organized in Delaware. Commercial Partners has the power to make
and perform all contracts and to engage in all activities to carry out the purposes of the Company,
and all other powers available to it as a limited liability company. As the Company currently owns
all of the membership interests of Commercial Partners, the financial position and results of
operations of Commercial Partners are consolidated with those of the Company.
Gladstone Lending, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Gladstone Lending), and a
subsidiary of the Company, was created to conduct all operations related to real estate mortgage
loans of the Company. As the Operating Partnership currently owns all of the membership interests
of Gladstone Lending, the financial position and results of operations of Gladstone Lending are
consolidated with those of the Company.
Gladstone Commercial Advisers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Commercial Advisers) and a
subsidiary of the Company, is a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS), which was created to collect all
non-qualifying income related to the Companys real estate portfolio. It is currently anticipated
that this income will predominately consist of fees received by the Company related to the leasing
of real estate. There have been no such fees earned to date. Since the Company owns 100% of the
voting securities of Commercial Advisers, the financial position and results of operations of
Commercial Advisers are consolidated with those of the Company.
GCLP Business Trust I and GCLP Business Trust II, subsidiaries of the Company, each are business
trusts formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 28, 2005. The Company
transferred its 99% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership to GCLP Business
Trust I in exchange for 100 trust shares. Gladstone Commercial Partners, LLC transferred its 1%
general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership to GCLP Business Trust II in exchange for
100 trust shares.

Interim financial information
Interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and
pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period
have been included.
Investments in real estate
The Company records investments in real estate at cost and capitalizes improvements and
replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. The Company
expenses costs of repairs and maintenance as incurred. The Company computes depreciation using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 39 years for buildings and improvements,
five to seven years for equipment and fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining
lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.
The Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business
Combinations, which requires the purchase price of real estate to be allocated to the acquired
tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, long-term debt
and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and
below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, the value of unamortized lease origination costs
and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.
Managements estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent
appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in its analysis
include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering
current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The Company also considers
information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence,
marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets
and liabilities acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also includes real estate taxes,
insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the
expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from nine to eighteen months, depending on
specific local market conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases
including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are
not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.
The Company allocates purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired
property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The as-if-vacant value is allocated to
land, building, and tenant improvements based on managements determination of the relative fair
values of these assets. Real estate depreciation expense on these tangible assets, including
discontinued operations, was $1,758,252 and $3,352,047 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007, respectively, and $1,324,868 and $2,478,984 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,
respectively.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the
present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired)
of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases
and (ii) managements estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases,
measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized
above-market lease values, included in the accompanying balance sheet as part of deferred rent
receivable, are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms
of the respective leases. Total amortization related to above-market lease values was $63,374 and
$126,748 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $63,374 and $126,748
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The capitalized below-market lease
values, included in the accompanying balance sheet as
deferred rent liability, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining
non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Total amortization related to below-market lease
values was $196,391 and $392,782 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 respectively, and
$223,188 and $303,479 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
7
The total amount of the remaining intangible assets acquired, which consist of in-place lease
values, unamortized lease origination costs, and customer relationship intangible values, are
allocated based on managements evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenants lease
and the Companys overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics to be
considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing
business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the
tenant, the tenants credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing
under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.
The value of in-place leases and unamortized lease origination costs are amortized to expense over
the remaining term of the respective leases, which generally range from five to twenty years. The
value of customer relationship intangibles, which is the benefit to the Company resulting from the
likelihood of an existing tenant renewing its lease, are amortized to expense over the remaining
term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period
for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant
terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship
intangibles will be charged to expense. Total amortization expense related to these intangible
assets, including discontinued operations, was $877,902 and $1,701,919 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $756,204 and $1,436,835 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006, respectively.

amortization for each intangible asset class:

Impairment
Investments in Real Estate
The Company accounts for the impairment of real estate in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires that the Company periodically
review the carrying value of each property to determine if circumstances that indicate impairment
in the carrying value of the investment exist or that depreciation periods should be modified. If
circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company prepares a projection of the
undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific property and determines
if the investment in such property is recoverable. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value
of the property would be written down to its estimated fair value based on the Companys best
estimate of the propertys discounted future cash flows. There have been no impairments recognized
on the Companys real estate assets at June 30, 2007.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Companys accounting policies require that it reflect in its financial statements an allowance
for estimated credit losses with respect to mortgage loans it has made based upon its evaluation of
known and inherent risks associated with its private lending assets. Management reflects
provisions for loan losses based upon its assessment of general market conditions, its internal
risk management policies and credit risk rating system, industry loss experience, its assessment of
the likelihood of delinquencies or defaults, and the value of the collateral underlying its
investments. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ from these estimates. There have been
no provisions for loan losses in the Companys history.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible
to cash and have a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents;
except that any such investments purchased with funds held in escrow or similar accounts are
classified as restricted cash. Items classified as cash equivalents include commercial paper and
money-market funds. All of the Companys cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2007 were held in
the custody of two financial institutions, and the Companys balance at times may exceed federally
insurable limits. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing funds with major financial
institutions.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash consists of security deposits and funds held in escrow for certain tenants. The
funds held in escrow are for capital improvements, taxes, insurance and other replacement reserves
for certain of our tenants. These funds will be released to the tenants upon completion of agreed
upon tasks as specified in the lease agreements, mainly consisting of maintenance and repairs on
the buildings, and when evidence of insurance and tax payments has been submitted to the Company.
Funds held in escrow
Funds held in escrow consist of funds held by certain of the Companys lenders for properties held
as collateral by these lenders. These funds consist of replacement reserves for capital
improvements, repairs and maintenance, insurance and taxes. These funds will be released to the
Company upon completion of agreed upon tasks as specified in the mortgage agreements, mainly
consisting of maintenance and repairs on the buildings, and when evidence of insurance and tax
payments has been submitted to the lenders.
Deferred financing costs
Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred to obtain long-term financing, including, legal
fees, origination fees, and administrative fees. The costs are deferred and amortized using the
straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the
financing secured. The Company incurred $688,025 and $1,650,237 in
deferred financing costs during the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively. Total
amortization expense related to deferred financing costs, including discontinued operations, was
$168,712 and $333,174 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $167,430
and $289,300 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Amortization of
financing costs are included in the interest expense line item in the consolidated financial
statements.
9
Revenue recognition
Rental revenue includes rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective
lease reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease. Certain of the
Companys leases currently contain rental increases at specified intervals, and straight-line basis
accounting requires the Company to record an asset, and include in revenues, deferred rent
receivable that will be received if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the
expiration of the initial term of the lease. Deferred rent receivable in the accompanying balance
sheet includes the cumulative difference between rental revenue as recorded on a straight line
basis and rents received from the tenants in accordance with the lease terms, along with the
capitalized above-market lease values of certain acquired properties. Accordingly, the Company
determines, in its judgment, to what extent the deferred rent receivable applicable to each
specific tenant is collectible. The Company reviews deferred rent receivable, as it relates to
straight line rents, on a quarterly basis and takes into consideration the tenants payment
history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the
tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event
that the collectibility of deferred rent with respect to any given tenant is in doubt, the Company
records an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts or records a direct write-off of
the specific rent receivable, which would have an adverse effect on the net income for the year in
which the reserve is increased or the direct write-off is recorded and would decrease total assets
and stockholders equity. No such reserves have been recorded as of June 30, 2007.
Management considers its loans and other lending investments to be held-for-investment. The
Company reflects held-for-investment investments at amortized cost less allowance for loan losses,
acquisition premiums or discounts, deferred loan fees and undisbursed loan funds. On occasion, the
Company may acquire loans at small premiums or discounts based on the credit characteristics of
such loans. These premiums or discounts are recognized as yield adjustments over the lives of the
related loans. Loan origination or exit fees, as well as direct loan origination costs, are also
deferred and recognized over the lives of the related loans as yield adjustments. If loans with
premiums, discounts, loan origination or exit fees are prepaid, the Company immediately recognizes
the unamortized portion as a decrease or increase in the prepayment gain or loss. Interest income
is recognized using the effective interest method applied on a loan-by-loan basis. Prepayment
penalties or yield maintenance payments from borrowers are recognized as additional income when
received.
Income taxes
The Company has operated and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to
qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and accordingly will not be
subject to federal income taxes on amounts distributed to stockholders (except income from
foreclosure property), provided it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its
stockholders and meets certain other conditions. To the extent that the Company satisfies the
distribution requirement but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, the Company will be
subject to federal corporate income tax on its undistributed income.
Commercial Advisers is a wholly-owned TRS that is subject to federal and state income taxes. Though
Commercial Advisers has had no activity to date, the Company would account for any future income
taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS
No. 109, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases.
In July of 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation (FIN)
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.
This Interpretation provides guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position
taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, and provides guidance on recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition
of tax positions. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007, and
the adoption had no impact on the Companys results of operations.
10
Segment information
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information provides
standards for public companies relating to the reporting of financial and descriptive information
about their operating segments in financial statements. Operating segments are defined as
components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision maker or decision making group in determining how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. Company management is the chief decision making
group. As discussed in Note 10, the Companys operations are derived from two operating segments,
one segment purchases real estate (land, buildings and other improvements), which is simultaneously
leased to existing users, and the other segment originates mortgage loans and collects principal
and interest payments.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company purchased two properties in Canada in October of 2004. These properties were
classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2006, and were sold in July 2006. All gains and losses
from foreign currency transactions are reflected in discontinued operations in the Companys
consolidated financial statements. Rental payments from these properties were received in Canadian
dollars. In accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, the rental revenue
received was recorded using the exchange rate as of the transaction date, which is the first day of
each month. In addition to rental payments that were denominated in Canadian dollars, the Company
also has a bank account in Canada and the long-term financings on the two Canadian properties were
also issued in Canadian dollars. All cash, deferred rent assets and mortgage notes payable related
to the Canadian properties were re-valued at each balance sheet date to reflect the then current
exchange rate. The gains or losses from the valuation of the cash were recorded on the income
statement as a realized gain or loss, and the valuation of the deferred rent assets and mortgage
notes payable was recorded on the income statement as unrealized gains or losses on the translation
of assets and liabilities. Realized foreign currency gains of $56 and $63 were recorded for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and a realized foreign currency gain of
$167 and a realized foreign currency loss of $649 were recorded for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006, respectively. These realized gains and losses were from the valuation of cash, tax
payments made to the Canadian government, and the previously unrealized foreign currency losses
associated with the valuation of the deferred rent assets and mortgage notes payable that became a
realized foreign currency loss as of the date of sale. Unrealized foreign currency losses of
$211,939 and $199,323 were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
Asset retirement obligations
In March of 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for a
conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability can be reasonably estimated.
FIN 47 clarifies that the term Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation refers to a legal
obligation (pursuant to existing laws or by contract) to perform an asset retirement activity in
which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not
be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient
information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The Company
has accrued a liability and corresponding increase to the cost of the related properties for
disposal related to all properties constructed prior to 1985 that have, or may have, asbestos
present in the building. The Company accrued a liability during the six months ended June 30, 2007
of $63,983 related to properties acquired during the period. The Company also recorded expense of
$28,942 and $57,102, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $26,430
and
$81,573 during the three and six months ended June 20, 2006, respectively, including discontinued
operations, related to the cumulative accretion of the obligation.
11
Real estate held for sale and discontinued operations
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, requires that the
results of operations of any properties which have been sold, or are held for sale, be presented as
discontinued operations in the Companys consolidated financial statements in both current and
prior periods presented. Income items related to held for sale properties are listed separately on
the Companys consolidated income statement. Real estate assets held for sale are measured at the
lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less the cost to sell, and are listed separately on
the Companys consolidated balance sheet for the current period. Once properties are listed as
held for sale, no further depreciation is recorded.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July of 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation (FIN)
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.
This Interpretation provides guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, and provides guidance on recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition
of tax positions. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007, and
the adoption had no impact on the Companys results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 beginning
with the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company believes there will be no impact of the
adoption on the Companys results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 allows entities to measure at fair value many financial
instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured
at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
The Company believes there will be no impact of the adoption on the Companys results of
operations.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior years financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income
or stockholders equity.

2. Management Advisory Fee
The Company has been externally managed pursuant to a contractual investment advisory arrangement
with its Adviser, under which its Adviser has directly employed all of the Companys personnel and
paid its payroll, benefits, and general expenses directly. The Companys initial investment
advisory agreement with its Adviser was in place from August 12, 2003 through December 31, 2006
(the Initial Advisory Agreement). On January 1, 2007, the Company entered into an amended and
restated investment advisory agreement with its Adviser (the Amended Advisory Agreement) and an
administration agreement (the Administration Agreement) with Gladstone Administration, LLC (the
Administrator). The management services and fees in effect under the Initial Advisory, Amended
Advisory and Administration Agreements are described below.
Amended Advisory Agreement
The Amended Advisory Agreement provides for an annual base management fee equal to 2% of the
Companys total stockholders equity, less the recorded value of any preferred stock, and an
incentive fee based on funds from operations (FFO). For the three and six months ended June 30,
2007, the Company recorded a base management fee of $471,091 and $953,135, respectively. For
purposes of calculating the incentive fee, FFO includes any realized capital gains and capital
losses, less any dividends paid on preferred stock, but FFO does not include any unrealized capital
gains or losses. The incentive fee will reward the Adviser if the Companys quarterly FFO, before
giving effect to any incentive fee, exceeds 1.75%, or 7% annualized, (the hurdle rate) of total
stockholders equity, less the recorded value of any preferred stock. The Adviser will receive
100% of the amount of the pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeds the hurdle rate, but is less than
2.1875% of the Companys pre-incentive fee FFO. The Adviser will also receive an incentive fee of
20% of the amount of the Companys pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeds 2.1875%.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded an incentive fee of $633,805
and $1,219,573, respectively, offset by a credit from a voluntary waiver issued by the Advisers
board of directors of $633,805 and $1,219,573, respectively, for a net incentive fee for both the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of $0. The board of directors for the Company accepted
the Advisers offer to waive the entire incentive fee for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007 in order to maintain the current level of distributions to the Companys stockholders.
Administration Agreement
Under the Administration Agreement, the Company pays separately for its allocable portion of the
Administrators overhead expenses in performing its obligations, including but not limited to, rent
for employees of the Administrator, and its allocable portion of the salaries and benefits expenses
of its chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, controller, treasurer and their
respective staffs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded an
administration fee of $210,126 and $417,144, respectively.
Initial Advisory Agreement
Under the Initial Advisory Agreement, the Company was required to reimburse its Adviser for its pro
rata share of its Advisers payroll and benefits expenses on an employee-by-employee basis, based
on the percentage of each employees time devoted to the Companys matters. During the three and
six months ended June 30, 2006 these expenses were approximately $561,000 and $1,029,000,
respectively.
13
The Company was also required to reimburse its Adviser for its pro rata portion of all other
expenses of its Adviser not reimbursed under the Initial Advisory Agreement (overhead expenses),
equal to the total overhead expenses of its Adviser, multiplied by the ratio of hours worked by its
Advisers employees on the Companys projects to the total hours worked by its Advisers employees.
However, the Company was only required to reimburse its Adviser for its portion of its overhead
expenses if the amount of payroll and
benefits the Company reimbursed to its Adviser was less than 2.0% of the Companys average invested
assets for the year. Additionally, the Company was only required to reimburse its Adviser for
overhead expenses up to the point that reimbursed overhead expenses and payroll and benefits
expenses, on a combined basis, equaled 2.0% of the Companys average invested assets for the year.
The Adviser billed the Company on a monthly basis for these amounts. The Adviser was required to
reimburse the Company annually for the amount by which overhead expenses billed to and paid by the
Company exceeded this combined 2.0% limit during a given year. The overhead expenses never
exceeded the combined 2.0% limit and, consequently, the Company never received any reimbursement.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company reimbursed its Adviser
approximately $158,000 and $343,000, respectively, of overhead expenses.
3. Stock Options
In December of 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. The new standard was
effective for awards that are granted, modified, or settled in cash for annual periods beginning
after June 15, 2005. The Company previously accounted for these plans under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations and disclosure requirements established by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. In this regard, these options had been granted to individuals who are
the Companys officers, and who would qualify as leased employees under FASB Interpretation No. 44
(FIN 44), Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of
APB Opinion No. 25. Under APB Opinion No. 25, no expense was recorded in the income statement for
the Companys stock options. The pro forma effects on income for stock options were instead
disclosed in a footnote to the financial statements. Under SFAS No. 123(R), all share-based
compensation cost was measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and was
recognized as an expense in the income statement over an employees requisite service period.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective approach.
Under the modified prospective approach, stock-based compensation expense was recorded for the
unvested portion of previously issued awards that remained outstanding at January 1, 2006 using the
same estimate of the grant date fair value and the same attribution method used to determine the
pro forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires that all share-based
payments to employees after January 1, 2006, including employee stock options, be recognized in the
financial statements as stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value on the date of
grant. The Company recorded total stock option compensation expense of $33,602 and $79,818,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. There were no stock options
outstanding as the Company terminated its stock option plan on December 31, 2006, therefore, no
stock option compensation expense was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

11. Line of Credit
On December 29, 2006, the Company entered into a $75 million senior revolving credit agreement with
a syndicate of banks led by KeyBank National Association, which matures on December 29, 2009 with
an option to extend for an additional year. The new revolving credit facility replaces a previous
facility led by BB&T, which was terminated upon the closing of the new line. The interest rate
charged on the advances under the facility is based on the LIBOR, the prime rate or the federal
funds rate, depending on market conditions, and adjusts periodically. The unused portion
of the line of credit is subject to a fee of 0.15% per year. The Companys ability to
access this funding source is subject to the Company continuing to meet customary lending
requirements such as compliance with financial and operating covenants and
meeting certain lending limits. The maximum amount the Company may draw under this agreement is
based on a percentage of the value of properties pledged as collateral to the banks, which must
meet agreed upon eligibility standards. As the Company arranges for long-term mortgages
for these pledged properties, the banks will release the properties from the line of credit and
reduce the availability under the line of credit by the advanced amount of the removed property.
Conversely, as the Company purchases new properties meeting the eligibility standards, the Company
may pledge these new properties to obtain additional advances under this agreement. The Company
may use the advances under the line of credit for both general corporate purposes and the
acquisition of new investments. As of June 30, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding under
the line of credit.

OVERVIEW
Our Investment Strategy
We were incorporated under the General Corporation Laws of the State of Maryland on February 14,
2003 primarily for the purpose of investing in and owning net leased industrial and commercial real
property and selectively making long-term industrial and commercial mortgage loans. Most of the
portfolio of real estate we currently own is leased to a wide cross section of tenants ranging from
small businesses to large public companies, many of which do not have publicly rated debt. We have
in the past entered into, and intend in the future to enter into, purchase agreements for real
estate having triple net leases with terms of approximately 10 to 15 years and built in rental
increases. Under a triple net lease, the tenant is required to pay all operating, maintenance and
insurance costs and real estate taxes with respect to the leased property. We are actively
communicating with buyout funds, real estate brokers and other third parties to locate properties
for potential acquisition or to provide mortgage financing in an effort to build our portfolio. At
June 30, 2007, we owned 43 properties totaling approximately 5.3 million square feet, and had one
mortgage loan outstanding. The total gross investment in these acquisitions and the mortgage loan
investment was approximately $336.4 million.
23
Recent Events
Investment Activities: During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we acquired four properties and
one leasehold interest totaling approximately 648,000 square feet, for a total gross investment of
approximately $53.0 million.
Financing Activities: During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we borrowed approximately $28.0
million pursuant to two long-term notes payable collateralized by security interests in six of our
properties.
Our Investment Adviser and Administrator
Gladstone Management Corporation, or our Adviser, is led by a management team which has extensive
experience in our lines of business. Our Adviser is a related party and is controlled by David
Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Gladstone is also the chairman and chief
executive officer of our Adviser. Terry Lee Brubaker, our director, vice chairman, secretary and
chief operating officer, is a member of the board of directors of our Adviser and its vice
chairman, chief operating officer and secretary. George Stelljes III, our director, president and
chief investment officer, is a member of the board of directors of our Adviser and its president
and chief investment officer. Harry Brill, our chief financial officer, is also the chief financial
officer of our Adviser. Our Adviser also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Gladstone Administration,
LLC, or the Administrator, which employs our chief financial officer, chief compliance officer,
controller, treasurer and their respective staffs.
Our Adviser and Administrator also provide investment advisory and administrative services to
our affiliates, Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment Corporation, both publicly
traded business development companies, as well as Gladstone Land Corporation, an agricultural real
estate company owned by Mr. Gladstone. All of our directors and executive officers serve as either
directors or executive officers, or both, of Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment
Corporation. In the future, our Adviser may provide investment advisory and administrative services
to other funds, both public and private, of which it is the sponsor.
Our Adviser was organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 2,
2002, and is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
Our Adviser is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, a suburb of Washington D.C., and also has offices
in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, and Washington.
Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements
We have been externally managed pursuant to a contractual investment advisory arrangement with our
Adviser, under which our Adviser has directly employed all of our personnel and paid its payroll,
benefits, and general expenses directly. Our initial investment advisory agreement with our
Adviser, which we refer to as the Initial Advisory Agreement, was in place from August 12, 2003
through December 31, 2006. On January 1, 2007, we entered into an amended and restated investment
advisory agreement with our Adviser, which we refer to as the Amended Advisory Agreement, and an
administration agreement, which we refer to as the Administration Agreement, with our
Administrator.
Under the terms of the Initial Advisory Agreement and the Amended Advisory Agreement, we were and
remain responsible for all expenses incurred for our direct benefit. Examples of these expenses
include, legal, accounting, interest on short-term debt and mortgages, tax preparation, directors
and officers insurance, stock transfer services, shareholder related fees, consulting and related
fees. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the total amount of these expenses that
we incurred was approximately $3.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively. During the three and
six months ended June 30, 2006, the total amount of these expenses that we incurred was
approximately $2.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively. All of these charges are incurred
directly by us rather than by our Adviser for our benefit. Accordingly, we did not make any
reimbursements to our Adviser for these amounts.
24
In addition, we are also responsible for all fees charged by third parties that are directly
related to our business, which may include real estate brokerage fees, mortgage placement fees,
lease-up fees and transaction structuring fees (although we may be able to pass some or all of such
fees on to our tenants and borrowers). In the event that any of these expenses are incurred on our
behalf by our Adviser, we are required to reimburse our Adviser on a dollar-for-dollar basis for
all such amounts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, none of these
expenses were incurred by our Adviser as we passed all such fees along to our tenants. The actual
amount of such fees that we incur in the future will depend largely upon the aggregate costs of the
properties we acquire, the aggregate amount of mortgage loans we make, and the extent to which we
are able to shift the burden of such fees to our tenants and borrowers. Accordingly, the amount of
these fees that we will pay in the future is not determinable at this time. We do not presently
expect that our Adviser will incur any of these fees on our behalf.
Management services and fees under the Initial Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to the Initial Advisory Agreement, we were required to reimburse our Adviser for our pro
rata share of our Advisers payroll and benefits expenses on an employee-by-employee basis, based
on the percentage of each employees time devoted to our matters. During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006, these expenses were approximately $561,000 and $1,029,000, respectively.
We were also required to reimburse our Adviser for our pro rata portion of all other expenses of
our Adviser not reimbursed under the arrangements described above, which we refer to as overhead
expenses, equal to the total overhead expenses of our Adviser, multiplied by the ratio of hours
worked by our Advisers employees on our projects to the total hours worked by our Advisers
employees. However, we were only required to reimburse our Adviser for our portion of its overhead
expenses if the amount of payroll and benefits we reimbursed to our Adviser was less than 2.0% of
our average invested assets for the year. Additionally, we were only required to reimburse our
Adviser for overhead expenses up to the point that reimbursed overhead expenses and payroll and
benefits expenses, on a combined basis, equaled 2.0% of our average invested assets for the year.
Our Adviser billed us on a monthly basis for these amounts. Our Adviser was required to reimburse
us annually for the amount by which amounts billed to and paid by us exceeded this 2.0% limit
during a given year. The amounts never exceeded the 2.0% limit, and we never received
reimbursement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we reimbursed our Adviser
approximately $158,000 and $343,000, respectively, of overhead expenses.
Management services and fees under the Amended Advisory Agreement
The Amended Advisory Agreement provides for an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of our
total stockholders equity, less the recorded value of any preferred stock, and an incentive fee
based on funds from operations, or FFO. For purposes of calculating the incentive fee, FFO
includes any realized capital gains and capital losses, less any dividends paid on preferred stock,
but FFO does not include any unrealized capital gains or losses. The incentive fee will reward our
Adviser if our quarterly FFO, before giving effect to any incentive fee, exceeds 1.75%, or 7%
annualized, (the hurdle rate) of total stockholders equity, less the recorded value of any
preferred stock. Our Adviser will receive 100% of the amount of the pre-incentive fee FFO that
exceeds the hurdle rate, but is less than 2.1875% of our pre-incentive fee FFO. Our Adviser will
also receive an incentive fee of 20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeds
2.1875%.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the base management fees, based on the Amended
Advisory Agreement fees were $471,091 and $953,135, respectively. For the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007, we recorded an incentive fee of $633,805 and $1,219,573, respectively, offset
by a credit from a voluntary waiver issued by the Advisers Board of Directors of $633,805 and
$1,219,573, respectively, for a net incentive fee for both the three and six months ended June 30,
2007 of $0. Our Board of Directors accepted our Advisers offer to waive the entire incentive fee
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 in order to maintain the current level of
distributions to our stockholders. Our Adviser intends to continue to waive all or a portion of
the incentive fee in order to maintain the current level of distributions to our stockholders.
25
Administration Agreement
Under the Administration Agreement, we pay separately for our allocable portion of our
Administrators overhead expenses in performing its obligations, including but not limited to, rent
for employees of our Administrator, and our allocable portion of the salaries and benefits expenses
of our chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, controller, treasurer and their
respective staffs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred $210,126 and
$417,144, respectively, for the administration fee.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management believes our most critical accounting policies are revenue recognition (including
straight-line rent), investment accounting, purchase price allocation, accounting for our
investments in real estate, provision for loan losses, the accounting for our derivative and
hedging activities, if any, and income taxes. Each of these items involves estimates that require
management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience,
collects historical data and current market data, and analyzes this information in order to arrive
at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions,
materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below.
In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use
of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ
from these estimates. For a summary of all of our critical accounting policies, see Note 1 to our
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July of 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation (FIN)
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.
This Interpretation provides guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, and provides guidance on recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition
of tax positions. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. We adopted FIN No. 48 effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007, and the
adoption had no impact on our results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 beginning
with the year ended December 31, 2007. We believe there will be no impact of the adoption on our
results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 allows entities to measure at fair value many financial
instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured
at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
We believe there will be no impact of the adoption on our results of operations.
26
Results of Operations
Our weighted-average yield on the portfolio as of June 30, 2007 was approximately 9.42%. The
weighted-average yield was calculated by taking the annualized straight-line rent, reflected as
rental income on our consolidated statements of operations, or mortgage interest payments,
reflected as interest income from mortgage notes receivable on our consolidated statements of
operations, of each acquisition or mortgage loan as a percentage of the acquisition or loan price.

Operating Revenues
Rental income increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the three
and six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the acquisition of 10 properties subsequent to
June 30, 2006, and properties acquired during the first half of 2006 that were held for the full
period in 2007.
Interest income from mortgage loans decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as
compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, due to the defaulted mortgage loan on the
Sterling Heights, Michigan property in August 2006. We acquired the building in satisfaction of the
mortgage loan in September 2006.
Tenant recovery revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, as a result of an increase in the number of tenants
which reimbursed us for insurance expense and the reimbursement of the ground lease payments on our
Tulsa, Oklahoma property acquired in March 2007, which was partially offset by an over-accrual of
franchise taxes in 2005, which resulted in a credit to tenant recovery revenue in 2006.
Operating Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, as a result of the 10 property
acquisitions completed between June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007, coupled with properties acquired
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 that were held for the full period in 2007.
The base management fee for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was computed under the
terms of the Amended Advisory Agreement and the base management fee for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006 was computed under the terms of the Initial Advisory Agreement. Both
agreements are described above under Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements.
On January 1, 2007, the Administration Agreement became effective and we began paying our
Administrator amounts equal to our allocable portion of our Administrators overhead expenses in
performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. The Administration Agreement is
described above under Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements. There was no
administration fee recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, as the
Administration Agreement was not in effect.
On January 1, 2007, the Amended Advisory Agreement, which includes an incentive fee component,
became effective. The calculation of the incentive fee is described in detail above under
Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements. There was no incentive fee recorded for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006, as the Amended Advisory Agreement was not in effect.
Professional fees, consisting primarily of legal and accounting fees, decreased during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,
primarily as a result of fees paid in connection with the formation of the Massachusetts Business
Trusts in 2006 and audit fees recorded in 2006, which related to the 2005 year end audit, partially
offset by an increase in accounting fees paid in 2007 related to the implementation of FIN 48.
Taxes and licenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2006, primarily because of an increase in the number of properties we pay
franchise taxes for doing business in certain states, coupled with an increase in the amount of
state and annual licenses for our entities operating in each of these states. Taxes and licenses
decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the six months ended June 30,
2006, primarily because of taxes expensed in 2006 on our Sterling Heights, Michigan property, which
were subsequently paid by the tenant in the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by the increase
in taxes discussed above.
28
Insurance expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in
premiums for directors and officers insurance from the prior year, coupled with the 10 property
acquisitions completed between June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007, which required insurance.
General and administrative expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as
compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of ground lease
payments on our Tulsa, Oklahoma property acquired in March 2007, coupled with an increase in the
number of properties we paid management fees for and an increase in the amount of due diligence
expense written off related to deals that did not close during the three and six months ended June
30, 2007.
Directors fees increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006, because of the increase in the annual fees each board
member collects, coupled with an increased number of committee meetings. The annual fees for each
board member were increased in 2007 as a result of the termination of our stock option plan.
Stockholder related expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared
to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of costs associated with the
solicitation of the stockholder vote for the annual meeting in 2006, partially offset by the
increase in our annual fees due to NASDAQ, and increased costs associated with the annual report.
Asset retirement obligation expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared
to the three months ended June 30, 2006, as a result of the increased number of properties
acquired subsequent to June 30, 2006 that were required to recognize a liability related to asset
retirement Asset retirement obligation expense decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, as a result of the expense recorded during the
three months ended March 31, 2006, which included expense related to prior periods. The expense
related to prior periods was immaterial to the 2006 earnings.
There was no stock option compensation expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007 as we terminated our stock option plan on December 31, 2006. Stock option compensation
expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was the result of the adoption of the SFAS
No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-based Payment.
Other Income and Expense
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents increased during the three and six months ended June
30, 2007, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily a
result of the increase in our average cash balances during the three and six months ended June 30,
2007, as a result of long-term financings on 12 properties that closed subsequent to June 30, 2006.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, interest income on employee loans increased,
as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was a result of three
employee loans that were originated subsequent to June 30, 2006, and nine employee loans that were
originated during the first half of 2006 in which interest was earned for the full period in 2007.
Other income remained flat for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2006. Other income increased for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily because of management fees we received from one of
our tenants in a building we acquired in May of 2006.
Interest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006. This was primarily a result of the long-term financings
we closed on 12 properties subsequent to June 30, 2006, partially offset by an increased amount
outstanding on our line of credit.
29
Discontinued Operations
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, requires that the
results of operations of any properties which have been sold, or are held for sale, be presented as
discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements in both current and prior periods
presented. As a result, income from discontinued operations is the income from our two Canadian
properties, which were sold in July 2006. Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006
was a result of operations from the Canadian properties held during that time, whereas the expense
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was a result of expenses related to the entities
that we incurred subsequent to the sale. We also paid and fully accrued approximately $315,000 in
taxes related to the gain on the sale in 2006. The 2006 tax returns were subsequently
filed in March of 2007, and the amount owed was approximately $236,000. We are due a refund in the
amount of $79,000, which is reflected under taxes paid on sale of real estate.
Net income available to common stockholders
Net income available to common stockholders increased for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily a
result of the increase in our portfolio of investments in the past year and the corresponding
increase in our revenues and the other events described above, partially offset by the increased
interest expense from the increased number of properties which have long-term financing, asset
retirement obligation expense and the preferred dividends paid.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2007, we had approximately $9.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. We have access
to our existing line of credit and have obtained mortgages on 29 of our properties. We expect to
obtain additional mortgages secured by some or all of our real property in the future. We
anticipate continuing to borrow funds and issuing additional equity securities in order to obtain
additional capital. We expect that the funds from our line of credit, additional mortgages and
securities offerings will provide us with sufficient capital to make additional investments and to
fund our continuing operations for the foreseeable future.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007, consisting
primarily of the items described in Results of Operations, was approximately $7.7 million,
compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $5.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately
$53.7 million, which primarily consisted of the purchase of four properties and one leasehold
interest, as described in the Recent Events section above, as compared to net cash used in
investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 of approximately $42.2 million,
which primarily consisted of the purchase of five properties.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately
$19.7 million, which primarily consisted of the proceeds received from the long-term financing of
six of our properties, partially offset by payments for deferred financing costs, principal
repayments on mortgage notes payable and dividend payments. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $35.5 million, which consisted
of the proceeds received from the long-term financing of five of our properties, the proceeds from
borrowing under our line of credit, and the
proceeds from the offering of our preferred stock, partially offset by principal repayments on the
mortgage notes payable, repayments on the line of credit, payments for deferred financing costs and
dividend payments to our stockholders.
30
Future Capital Needs
We had purchase commitments for two properties at June 30, 2007 in the aggregate amount of
approximately $12.6 million, one of which subsequently closed in July for $6.8 million.
As of June 30, 2007, we had investments in 43 real properties for a net value, including intangible
assets, of approximately $307 million and one mortgage loan for $10 million. During 2007 and
beyond, we expect to complete additional acquisitions of real estate and to extend additional
mortgage notes. We intend to acquire additional properties by borrowing all or a portion of the
purchase price and collateralizing the loan with mortgages secured by some or all of our real
property, by borrowing against our existing line of credit, or by issuing additional equity
securities. We may also use these funds for general corporate needs. If we are unable to make any
required debt payments on any borrowings we make in the future, our lenders could foreclose on the
properties collateralizing their loans, which could cause us to lose part or all of our investments
in such properties.
Line of Credit
On December 29, 2006, we entered into a $75 million senior revolving credit agreement with a
syndicate of banks led by KeyBank National Association, which matures on December 29, 2009 with an
option to extend for an additional year. The new revolving credit facility replaces a previous
facility led by Branch Banking and Trust, or BB&T, which was terminated upon the closing of the new
line. Upon termination of the credit facility with BB&T, we wrote off approximately $590,000 in
unamortized deferred financing fees. The interest rate charged on the advances under the facility
is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, the prime rate or the federal funds rate,
depending on market conditions, and adjusts periodically. The unused portion of the line
of credit is subject to a fee of 0.15% per year. Our ability to access this funding
source is subject to us continuing to meet customary lending requirements such as compliance with
financial and operating covenants and meeting certain lending limits. The maximum amount we may
draw under this agreement is based on a percentage of the value of properties pledged as collateral
to the banks, which must meet agreed upon eligibility standards. As we arrange for
long-term mortgages for these pledged properties, the banks will release the properties from the
line of credit and reduce the availability under the line of credit by the advanced amount of the
removed property. Conversely, as we purchase new properties meeting the eligibility standards, we
may pledge these new properties to obtain additional advances under this agreement. We may use the
advances under the line of credit for both general corporate purposes and the acquisition of new
investments. As of June 30, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit.
Mortgage Notes Payable
On February 8, 2007, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, we borrowed approximately $13.8 million
pursuant to a long-term note payable from KeyBank National Association which is collateralized by
security interests in our Austin, Texas property, our Richmond, Virginia property and our Baytown,
Texas property in the amounts of approximately $6.5 million, $5.3 million, and $2.0 million,
respectively. The note accrues interest at a rate of 6.0% per year, and we may repay this note
with 60 days notice to KeyBank, but would be subject to a substantial prepayment penalty. The note
has a maturity date of March 1, 2017, and we invested the proceeds from the note in our money
market account and plan to use the proceeds for future acquisitions.
On June 5, 2007, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, we borrowed approximately $14.2 million
pursuant to a long-term note payable from Countrywide Commercial Real Estate Finance, which is
collateralized by security interests in our Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin property, our Hazelton,
Missouri property and our Raleigh, North Carolina property in the amounts of approximately $6.9
million, $2.4 million and $4.9
million, respectively. The note accrues interest at a rate of 6.11% per year. The note has a
maturity date of June 8, 2017. We used the proceeds from the note to pay down the outstanding
balance on the line of credit.

Funds from Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, developed funds from
operations, or FFO, as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an
equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not
depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed
in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses, from sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures.
FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, which, unlike
FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of
net income, and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our
performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make
distributions. Comparison of FFO, using the NAREIT definition, to similarly titled measures for
other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the
NAREIT definition used by such REITs.
FFO available to common stockholders is FFO adjusted to subtract preferred share dividends. We
believe that net income available to common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP
measure to FFO available to common stockholders.
Basic funds from operations per share, or Basic FFO per share, and diluted funds from operations
per share, or Diluted FFO per share, is FFO available to common stockholders divided by weighted
average common shares outstanding and FFO available to common stockholders divided by weighted
average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis, respectively, during a period. We believe
that FFO available to common stockholders, Basic FFO per share and Diluted FFO per share are useful
to investors because they provide investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO results
in the same manner that investors use net income and earnings per share, or EPS, in evaluating net
income available to common stockholders. In addition, since most REITs provide FFO, Basic FFO and
Diluted FFO per share information to the investment community, we believe FFO available to common
stockholders, Basic FFO per share and
Diluted FFO per share are useful supplemental measures for comparing us to other REITs. We
believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO, Basic EPS is the most
directly comparable GAAP measure to Basic FFO per share, and that diluted EPS is the most directly
comparable GAAP measure to Diluted FFO per share.

30, 2007 and 2006, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, and a computation of

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange
rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive
instruments. The primary risk that we believe we will be exposed to is interest rate risk. We
currently own one variable rate loan receivable, certain of our leases contain escalations based on
market interest rates, and the interest rate on our existing line of credit is variable. We seek
to mitigate this risk by structuring such provisions of our loans and leases to contain a minimum
interest rate or escalation rate, as applicable. We are also exposed to the effects of interest
rate changes as a result of the holding of our cash and cash equivalents in short-term,
interest-bearing investments.
To illustrate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on our net income, we have
performed the following analysis, which assumes that our balance sheet remains constant and no
further actions beyond a minimum interest rate or escalation rate are taken to alter our existing
interest rate sensitivity.
Under this analysis, a hypothetical increase in the one month LIBOR rate by 1% would increase our
interest income and rental revenue by $36,500, or 1.6%, over the next twelve months, compared to
net income for the latest twelve months ended June 30, 2007. A hypothetical decrease in the one
month LIBOR by 1% would decrease our interest income and rental revenue by $36,500, or 1.6%, over
the next twelve months, compared to net income for the latest twelve months ended June 30, 2007.
Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate
sensitivity, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of
our loan and lease portfolio on the balance sheet and other business developments that could affect
net income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ
materially from the results under this hypothetical analysis.
As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of our fixed rate debt outstanding was approximately $178
million. Interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments.
If interest rates on our fixed rate debt instruments, using rates at June 30, 2007, had been one
percentage point higher or lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have
decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $11.5 million.
In the future, we may be exposed to additional effects of interest rate changes primarily as a
result of our line of credit or long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our
real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are
to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall
borrowing costs. To achieve this objective, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable
rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable
rates to fixed rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest
rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate the interest rate risk on a related financial instrument.
We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations
based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of
lessees, all of which may affect our ability to refinance debt if necessary.
34
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2007, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on that evaluation, management, including the chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June
30, 2007 in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose
in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and
forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be
disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable assurance of necessarily achieving the desired control objectives, and
management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures.
b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
