1. Organization and Description of Business

 

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on April 20, 2006. Upon or prior to the completion of our transition to self-management which we expect to complete by September 20, 2009, we intend to change our name to Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. We were initially capitalized on April 28, 2006 and therefore we consider that our date of inception. We provide stockholders the potential for income and growth through investment in a diversified portfolio of real estate properties, focusing primarily on medical office buildings and healthcare related facilities. We have also invested to a limited extent in commercial office properties and other real estate related assets. However, we do not presently intend to invest more than 15.0% of our total assets in other real estate related assets. We focus primarily on investments that produce recurring income. We have qualified and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes and we intend to continue to be taxed as a REIT.

 

We are conducting a best efforts initial public offering, or our offering, in which we are offering up to 200,000,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share and up to 21,052,632 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or the DRIP, at $9.50 per share, aggregating up to $2,200,000,000. As of March 31, 2009, we had received and accepted subscriptions in our offering for 93,249,152 shares of our common stock, or $931,447,000, excluding shares of our common stock issued under the DRIP.

 

On April 6, 2009, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, with respect to a proposed follow-on public offering, or our follow-on offering, of up to 221,052,632 shares of our common stock. Our follow-on offering would include up to 200,000,000 shares of our common stock to be offered for sale at $10.00 per share and up to 21,052,632 shares of our common stock to be offered for sale pursuant to the DRIP at $9.50 per share. We have not issued any shares under this Registration Statement as it has not been declared effective by the SEC.

 

We conduct substantially all of our operations through Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT Holdings, L.P., to be named Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, or our operating partnership. Our internal management team manages our day-to-day operations and oversees and supervises our employees and outside service providers. Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT Advisor, LLC, or our advisor, provides certain accounting, asset management, acquisition and other services to us pursuant to an advisory agreement, as amended and restated on November 14, 2008 and effective as of October 24, 2008, or the Advisory Agreement, between us, our advisor and Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, LLC, or Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, who is the managing member of our advisor. Our advisor is affiliated with us in that we and our advisor have a common officer, who also owns an indirect equity interest in our advisor. Our advisor engages affiliated entities, including but not limited to Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., or Realty, and Grubb & Ellis Management Services, Inc. to provide various services to us, including but not limited to property management and leasing services.

 

The Advisory Agreement expires on September 20, 2009. Our main objectives in amending the Advisory Agreement were to reduce acquisition and asset management fees, eliminate internalization fees and to set the framework for our transition to self-management. Under the Advisory Agreement, our advisor agreed to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with us as we pursue a self-management program. Upon or prior to completion of our transition to self-management which we expect to complete by September 20, 2009 and/or the termination of the Advisory Agreement, we will no longer be advised by our advisor or consider our company to be sponsored by Grubb & Ellis Company, or Grubb & Ellis.

 

Self-management is a corporate model based on internal management rather than external management. In general, non-traded REIT’s are externally managed. With external management, a REIT is dependent upon an

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)–(Continued)

 

external advisor. An externally-managed REIT typically pays acquisition fees, asset management fees, property management fees and other fees to its advisor for services provided as we do under our Advisory Agreement. In contrast, under our self-management program, we will be managed internally by our management team led by Scott D. Peters, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the board of directors, under the direction of our board of directors. With a self-managed REIT, fees paid to third parties are expected to be substantially reduced. By pursuing self-management, we have effectively eliminated the potential need for us to pay any fee to our advisor in the future to “internalize” certain of the functions that they currently provide to us.

 

We anticipate that the various costs of self-management will also be mitigated by the substantial reduction of the acquisition fees and the asset management fees payable to our advisor under the Advisory Agreement, as amended November 14, 2008.

 

As of March 31, 2009, we had purchased 43 geographically diverse properties comprising 5,355,000 square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, and one real estate related asset, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,002,795,000.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 16427 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 440, Scottsdale, Arizona, 85254 and the telephone number is (480) 998-3478. For investor services, please contact Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors at 1551 N. Tustin Avenue, Suite 300, Santa Ana, California, 92705 or by telephone at (877)-888-7348 or (714) 667-8252.

 

 

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Such interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto are the representations of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing our accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Our accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our operating partnership, the wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership and any variable interest entities, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation, or FIN, No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, as revised, or FIN No. 46(R), that we have concluded should be consolidated. We operate in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership own all of the properties acquired on our behalf. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we owned greater than a 99.99% general partnership interest in our operating partnership. Our advisor is a limited partner of our operating partnership and as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, owned less than a 0.01% limited partnership interest in our operating partnership. Our advisor is also entitled to certain subordinated distribution rights under the partnership agreement for our operating partnership. Because we are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and have unilateral control over its management and major operating decisions (even if additional limited partners are admitted to our operating partnership), the accounts of our operating partnership are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Interim Financial Data

 

Our accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with GAAP in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not

 

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)–(Continued)

 

include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such results may be less favorable. Our accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2009.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents of $255,068,000 and $128,331,000, includes approximately $148,998,000 and $0 in short-term U.S. Treasury bills as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. We account for short-term investments in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. We determine the appropriate classification of all short-term investments as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading at the time of purchase and re-evaluate such classification as of each balance sheet date. The U.S. Treasury bills are considered held-to-maturity as of March 31, 2009 and mature in April 2009.

 

Segment Disclosure

 

The FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. We have determined that we have one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in medical office buildings, healthcare related facilities, quality commercial office properties and other real estate related assets. Our investments in real estate and real estate related assets are geographically diversified and management evaluates operating performance on an individual portfolio level. However, as each of our assets has similar economic characteristics, tenants, and products and services, our assets have been aggregated into one reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157, which has been applied to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and provides for expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was issued to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP, SFAS No. 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement Under Statement 13, or FSP SFAS No. 157-1. FSP SFAS No. 157-1 excludes from the scope of SFAS No. 157 certain leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. In February 2008, the FASB also issued FSP SFAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, or FSP SFAS No. 157-2. FSP SFAS No. 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, to fiscal years beginning after November 1, 2008. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active, or FSP SFAS No. 157-3. FSP SFAS No. 157-3 amends SFAS No. 157 by providing an example to illustrate key considerations and the emphasis on measurement principles when applying SFAS No. 157 to financial assets when the market for those financial assets is not active. We adopted SFAS No. 157 and FSP SFAS No. 157-1 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 and FSP SFAS No. 157-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements except with regards to enhanced disclosures (see Note 8, Derivative Financial Instruments). We adopted FSP SFAS No. 157-2 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2009. The implementation of FSP SFAS No. 157-2 did not

 

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)–(Continued)

 

have a material effect on the methods or processes we use to value these non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities or information disclosed. We adopted FSP SFAS No. 157-3 upon issuance, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

FSP FAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms what SFAS No. 157 states is the objective of fair value measurement — to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. We have adopted this guidance in making our fair value measurements as of January 1, 2009, and it did not have a significant impact on those measurements.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements since we did not elect to apply the fair value option for any of our eligible financial instruments or other items on the January 1, 2008 effective date.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, or SFAS No. 141(R), and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS No. 160. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 significantly changed the accounting for, and reporting of, business combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquiring entity to recognize acquired assets and liabilities assumed in a transaction at fair value as of the acquisition date, changes the disclosure requirements for business combination transactions and changes the accounting treatment for certain items, including contingent consideration agreements which are required to be recorded at acquisition date fair value and acquisition costs which are required to be expensed as incurred. SFAS No. 160 requires that noncontrolling interests be presented as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, eliminates minority interest accounting such that the amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests are presented as part of consolidated net income in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and not as a separate component of income and expense, and requires that upon any changes in ownership that result in the loss of control of the subsidiary, the noncontrolling interest be re-measured at fair value with the resultant gain or loss recorded in net income. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 require simultaneous adoption and are to be applied prospectively for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption of either standard is prohibited. We have adopted SFAS No. 141(R) on a prospective basis on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) has a material impact on our results of operations when we acquire real estate properties. We have adopted SFAS No. 160 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2009, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which were applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 had an impact on the presentation and disclosure of noncontrolling (minority) interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result of the retrospective presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 160, we are required to reflect the change in presentation and disclosure for all periods presented. The principal effect on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 related to the adoption of SFAS No. 160 was the change in presentation of the mezzanine section of the minority interest of limited partner in operating partnership of $1,000 and the minority interest of limited partner of $1,950,000, as previously reported, to redeemable noncontrolling interest of limited partners of $1,951,000, as reported herein. Additionally, the adoption of SFAS No. 160 had the effect of reclassifying (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of operations from minority interest to separate line items. SFAS No. 160 also requires that net income (loss) be adjusted to include the net (income) loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, and a new line item for net income (loss) attributable to controlling interest be presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Thus, after adoption of

 

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)–(Continued)

 

SFAS No. 160 net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $(6,610,000), as previously reported, changed to net loss of $(6,689,000), as reported herein, and net loss attributable to controlling interest is equal to net loss as previously reported prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 160.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 161. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. SFAS No. 161 also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, SFAS No. 161 requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 is effective for quarterly interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and fiscal years that include those quarterly interim periods, with early application encouraged. We adopted SFAS No. 161 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, or FSP SFAS No. 142-3. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, or SFAS No. 142, and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the assets under SFAS No. 141(R). FSP SFAS No. 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 requires an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements, or to consider market participant assumptions consistent with the highest and best use of the assets if relevant historical experience does not exist. In addition to the required disclosures under SFAS No. 142, FSP SFAS No. 142-3 requires disclosure of the entity’s accounting policy regarding costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets, the weighted average period to the next renewal or extension, and the total amount of capitalized costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. While the standard for determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets is to be applied prospectively only to intangible assets acquired after the effective date, the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all recognized intangible assets as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. Early adoption is prohibited. We have adopted FSP SFAS No. 142-3 on prospective basis on January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP SFAS No. 142-3 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, or FSP EITF No. 03-6-1. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted by an entity in share-based payment transactions should be considered as participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, should be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 clarifies that instruments granted in share-based payment transactions can be participating securities prior to vesting (that is, awards for which the requisite service had not yet been rendered). Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 requires us to retrospectively adjust our earnings per share data (including any amounts related to interim periods, summaries of earnings and selected financial data) to conform to the provisions of FSP EITF No. 03-6-1. We adopted FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements because we do not have any material share-based payment transactions.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, or FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB Opinion No. 28-1. FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB Opinion No. 28-1 relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the

 

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)–(Continued)

 

balance sheet at fair value. Prior to issuing this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. The FSP now requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value. We early adopted FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB Opinion No. 28-1 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2009, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have provided these disclosures in Note 16, Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

 

FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, or FSP FAS No. 115-2, is intended to bring greater consistency to the timing of impairment recognition, and provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. FSP FAS No. 115-2 also requires increased and more timely disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. We adopted FSP FAS No. 115-2 on January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Our investments in our consolidated properties consisted of the following as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

 

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $7,528,000 and $3,351,000, respectively.

 

Acquisitions in 2009

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we completed the acquisition of one property and two office condominiums related to two existing properties in our portfolio. The aggregate purchase price of these properties was $36,379,000. These properties were purchased with funds raised from our offering. We paid $909,000 in acquisition fees to our advisor and its affiliates in connection with these acquisitions. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) on January 1, 2009, the fees were expensed and included in general and administrative in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments

 

SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 133, as amended and interpreted establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. We utilize derivatives such as fixed rate interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. Consistent with SFAS No. 133, we record derivative financial instruments on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. SFAS No. 133 permits special hedge accounting if certain requirements are met. Hedge accounting allows for gains and losses on derivatives designated as hedges to be offset by the change in value of the hedged item(s) or to be deferred in other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements, but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of SFAS No. 133. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recorded in gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Loan Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for facilities and transactions of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of debt by us and our subsidiaries that own properties that serve as collateral for the Loan Agreement, limitations on the nature of our business and limitations on our subsidiaries that own properties that serve as collateral for the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also imposes the following financial covenants on us and our operating partnership, as applicable: (i) a minimum ratio of operating cash flow to interest expense, (ii) a minimum ratio of operating cash flow to fixed charges, (iii) a maximum ratio of liabilities to asset value, (iv) a maximum distribution covenant and (v) a minimum net worth covenant, all of which are defined in the Loan Agreement. In addition, the Loan Agreement includes events of default that are customary for facilities and transactions of this type. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all such covenants and requirements.

Litigation

 

We are not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us, which if determined unfavorably to us, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Environmental Matters

 

We follow the policy of monitoring our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist at our properties, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to our properties that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

Our other organizational and offering expenses are being paid by our advisor or its affiliates on our behalf. These other organizational and offering expenses include all expenses (other than selling commissions and the marketing support fee which generally represent 7.0% and 2.5% of our gross offering proceeds, respectively) to be paid by us in connection with our offering.

In addition, the Partnership Agreement Amendment provides that after the termination date in the event of a liquidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the operating partnership, then our advisor will be entitled to receive a distribution in an amount equal to 15.0% of the net proceeds from the sale of the Included Assets, after subtracting distributions to our stockholders and the limited partners who received partnership units in connection with the acquisition of the Included Assets of (1) their initial invested capital and the capital value of such partnership units (less amounts paid to repurchase shares pursuant to our share repurchase program) through the date of the other liquidity event plus (2) an annual 8.0% cumulative, non-compounded return on such invested capital and the capital value of such partnership units measured for the period from inception through the other liquidity event date.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests are accounted for in accordance with EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, and are presented at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the redemption value from the purchase date to the earliest redemption date are accreted using the straight-line method. The redemption value as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $3,133,000. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, redeemable noncontrolling interest of limited partners was $2,122,000 and $1,951,000, respectively. Below is a table reflecting the activity of the redeemable noncontrolling interests.

14. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common Stock

 

In April 2006, our advisor purchased 200 shares of our common stock for total cash consideration of $2,000 and was admitted as our initial stockholder. Through March 31, 2009, we granted an aggregate of 90,000 shares of restricted common stock to our independent directors and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms and conditions of our 2006 Incentive Plan. Through March 31, 2009, we issued 93,249,152 shares of our common stock in connection with our offering and 2,390,122 shares of our common stock under the DRIP, and repurchased 246,510 shares of our common stock under our share repurchase plan. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had 95,482,964 and 75,465,437 shares of our common stock outstanding, respectively.

 

We are offering and selling to the public up to 200,000,000 shares of our $0.01 par value common stock for $10.00 per share and up to 21,052,632 shares of our $0.01 par value common stock to be issued pursuant to the DRIP at $9.50 per share. Our charter authorizes us to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of our common stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our charter authorizes us to issue 200,000,000 shares of our $0.01 par value preferred stock. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

 

We adopted the DRIP, which allows stockholders to purchase additional shares of our common stock through the reinvestment of distributions, subject to certain conditions. We registered and reserved 21,052,632 shares of our common stock for sale pursuant to the DRIP in our offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, $6,934,000 and $1,898,000, respectively, in distributions were reinvested and 729,946 and 199,746 shares of our common stock, respectively, were issued under the DRIP. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, a total of $22,706,000 and $15,772,000, respectively, in distributions were reinvested and 2,390,122 and 1,660,176 shares of our common stock, respectively, were issued under the DRIP.

 

Share Repurchase Plan

 

Our board of directors has approved a share repurchase plan. On August 24, 2006, we received SEC exemptive relief from rules restricting issuer purchases during distributions. The share repurchase plan allows for share repurchases by us upon request by stockholders when certain criteria are met by the requesting stockholders. Share repurchases will be made at the sole discretion of our board of directors. Funds for the repurchase of shares will come exclusively from the proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under the DRIP.

 

Our board of directors has adopted and approved certain amendments to our share repurchase plan which became effective August 25, 2008. The primary purpose of the amendments is to provide stockholders with the opportunity to have their shares of our common stock redeemed, at the sole discretion of our board of directors, during the period we are engaged in a public offering at increasing prices based upon the period of time the shares of common stock have been continuously held. Under the amended share repurchase plan, redemption prices range from $9.25 per share, or 92.5% of the price paid per share, following a one year holding period to an amount equal to not less than 100% of the price paid per share following a four year holding period. Under the previous share repurchase plan, stockholders could only request to have their shares of our common stock redeemed at $9.00 per share during the period we are engaged in a public offering.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we repurchased 136,762 shares of our common stock, for an aggregate amount of $1,310,000, and 12,270 shares of our common stock, for $123,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had repurchased 246,510 shares of our common stock, for an aggregate amount of $2,387,000, and 109,748 shares of our common stock, for an aggregate amount of $1,077,000, respectively.

2006 Incentive Plan and Independent Directors Compensation Plan

 

Under the terms of our 2006 Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock subject to options, shares of restricted common stock, stock purchase rights, stock appreciation rights or other awards, including those issuable under its sub-plan, the 2006 Independent Directors Compensation Plan, will be no more than 2,000,000 shares. On December 30, 2008, we amended the 2006 Independent Directors Compensation Plan, which became effective on January 1, 2009.

 

On September 20, 2006 and October 4, 2006, we granted an aggregate of 15,000 shares and 5,000 shares, respectively, of restricted common stock, as defined in the 2006 Incentive Plan, to our independent directors under the 2006 Independent Director Compensation Plan. On April 12, 2007, we granted 5,000 shares of restricted common stock to our newly appointed independent director. On each of June 12, 2007 and June 17, 2008, in connection with their re-election, we granted 12,500 shares of restricted common stock in the aggregate to our independent directors. Each of these restricted stock awards vested 20.0% on the grant date and 20.0% will vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant.

 

On November 14, 2008, we granted Mr. Peters 40,000 shares of restricted common stock under, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of our 2006 Incentive Plan. The shares of restricted common stock will vest and become non-forfeitable in equal annual installments of 33.3% each, on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.

 

The fair value of each share of restricted common stock was estimated at the date of grant at $10.00 per share, the per share price of shares in our offering, and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Shares of restricted common stock may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered. Such restrictions expire upon vesting. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recognized compensation expense of $58,000 and $19,000, respectively, related to the restricted common stock grants. Such compensation expense is included in general and administrative in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Shares of restricted common stock have full voting rights and rights to dividends.

 

As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there was approximately $565,000 and $623,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested shares of restricted common stock. This expense is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.5 years.

 

As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair value of the nonvested shares of restricted common stock was $685,000. A summary of the status of the nonvested shares of restricted common stock as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the changes for the three months ended March 31, 2009, is presented below:

 

 

15. Subordinated Participation Interest

 

On November 14, 2008, we entered into the Partnership Agreement Amendment. Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement Amendment, our advisor may elect to defer its right to receive a subordinated distribution from our operating partnership after the termination of the Advisory Agreement, subject to certain conditions.

 

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)–(Continued)

 

The Partnership Agreement provides that after the termination of the Advisory Agreement, if there is a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange or a merger in which our stockholders received in exchange for shares of our common stock shares of a company that are tracked on a national securities exchange, our advisor will be entitled to receive a distribution from our operating partnership in an amount equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (1) the fair market value of all of the assets of our operating partnership (determined by appraisal as of the listing date or merger date, as applicable) owned as of the termination of the Advisory Agreement, plus any assets acquired after such termination for which our advisor was entitled to receive an acquisition fee (as described above under Advisory Agreement-Acquisition Fee), or the Included Assets, less any indebtedness secured by the Included Assets, plus the cumulative distributions made to us by our operating partnership to us and the limited partners who received partnership units in connection with the acquisition of the Included Assets, from our inception through the listing date or merger date, as applicable, exceeds (2) the sum of the total amount of capital raised from stockholders and the capital value of partnership unites issued in connection with the acquisition of the Included Assets through the listing date or merger date, as applicable, (excluding any capital raised after the completion of our offering) (less amounts paid to redeem shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase plan) plus an annual 8.0% cumulative, non-compounded return on average invested capital and the capital value of such partnership units measured for the period from inception through the listing date or merger date, as applicable.

 

In addition, the Partnership Agreement Amendment provides that after the termination date in the event of a liquidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the operating partnership, or an other liquidity event, then our advisor will be entitled to receive a distribution from our operating partnership in an amount equal to 15.0% of the net proceeds from the sale of the Included Assets, after subtracting distributions to our stockholders and the limited partners who received partnership units in connection with the acquisition of the Included Assets of: (1) their initial invested capital and the capital value of such partnership units (less amounts paid to repurchase shares pursuant to our share repurchase program) through the date of the other liquidity event plus (2) an annual 8.0% cumulative, non-compounded return on such invested capital and the capital value of such partnership units measured for the period from inception through the other liquidity event date. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we have not recorded any charges to earnings related to the subordinated participation interest.

 

16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We use fair value measurements to record fair value of certain assets and to estimate fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value but required to be disclosed at fair value under SFAS No. 107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, or SFAS No. 107.

 

Financial Instruments Reported at Fair Value

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We invest in money market funds which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. We also invest in short term maturity U.S. Treasury bills which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they valued using unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Currently, we use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with floating rate debt. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected

 

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)–(Continued)

 

variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

 

To comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

 

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2009, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Assets and liabilities at fair value

 

The table below presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

 

 

Financial Instruments Disclosed at Fair Value

 

SFAS No. 107 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet. Fair value is defined under SFAS No. 157.

 

Our accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: real estate note receivables, net, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, net, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accounts payable due to affiliates, net, mortgage loan payables, net and borrowings under the line of credit.

 

The carrying value of our note receivables, net reasonably approximates fair value based on expected interest rates for notes to similar borrowers with similar terms and remaining maturities. We consider the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, net and accounts payable and accrued liabilities to approximate fair value for these financial instruments because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. The fair value of accounts payable due to affiliates, net is not determinable due to the related party nature.

 

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)–(Continued)

 

The fair value of the mortgage loan payable is estimated using borrowing rates available to us for mortgage loan payables with similar terms and maturities. As of March 31, 2009, the fair value of the mortgage loan payables was $444,394,000, compared to the carrying value of $453,606,000. As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of the mortgage loan payables was $456,606,000, compared to the carrying value of $460,762,000.

 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we completed the acquisition of one property and two condos/buildings related to two existing properties in our portfolio, adding a total of approximately 201,000 square feet of GLA to our property portfolio. The aggregate purchase price was $36,379,000 plus closing costs of $1,186,000. See Note 3, Real Estate Investments, for a listing of the properties acquired and the dates of acquisition. Results of operations for the property acquisitions are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 for the periods subsequent to the acquisition dates.

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 141(R), we allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed including allocating to the intangibles associated with the in place leases, considering the following factors: lease origination costs and tenant relationships. Certain allocations as of March 31, 2009 are subject to change based on information received within one year of the purchase date related to one or more events at the time of purchase which confirm the value of an asset acquired or a liability assumed in an acquisition of a property.

 

Assuming the property acquisitions discussed above had occurred on January 1, 2009, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, pro forma revenues, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per basic and diluted share would have been $30,409,000, $(8,262,000) and $(0.10), respectively.

 

Assuming the property acquisitions discussed above had occurred on January 1, 2008, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, pro forma revenues, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per basic and diluted share would have been $14,045,000, $(9,071,000) and $(0.37), respectively.

 

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been obtained had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results.

 

18. Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable from tenants. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalent and restricted cash accounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insured limits. We believe this risk is not significant. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable from tenants is limited. We perform credit evaluations of prospective tenants, and security deposits are obtained upon lease execution. In addition, we evaluate tenants in connection with the acquisition of a property.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had interests in seven consolidated properties located in Texas, which accounted for 16.3% of our total rental income and interests in five consolidated properties located in Indiana, which accounted for 14.0% of our total rental income. This rental income is based on contractual base rent from leases in effect as of March 31, 2009. Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to fluctuations in each state’s economy.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we had interests in four consolidated properties located in Florida which accounted for 17.6% of our total rental income, interests in three consolidated properties located in Texas which accounted for 14.5% of our total rental income, interests in four consolidated properties located in Ohio which accounted for 14.1% of our total rental income and interests in three consolidated properties located in Georgia which accounted for 10.3% of our total rental income. This rental income is based on contractual base rent from leases in effect as of March 31, 2008. Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to fluctuations in each state’s economy.

 

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)–(Continued)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, none of our tenants at our consolidated properties accounted for 10.0% or more of our aggregate annual rental income.

 

19. Per Share Data

 

We report earnings (loss) per share pursuant to SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, or SFAS No. 128. In January 2009, we adopted the provisions of FSP No. 03-6-1 on a prospective basis, which requires us to include unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as “participating securities” in the computation of basic and diluted income per share pursuant to the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128. The adoption of FSP No. 03-6-1 did not have a material effect on our computation of earnings per share because we do not have any material share-based payment transactions.

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable for all periods presented are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of our common stock and all potentially dilutive securities, if any. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, we did not have any securities that give rise to potentially dilutive shares of our common stock.

 

20. Subsequent Events

 

Status of our Offering

 

As of April 30, 2009, we had received and accepted subscriptions in our offering for 100,721,990 shares of our common stock, or $1,006,137,000, excluding shares of our common stock issued under the DRIP.

 

Share Repurchases

 

In April 2009, we repurchased 269,622 shares of our common stock, for an aggregate amount of $2,537,000, under our share repurchase plan.

 

Services Agreement

 

In April 2009, we entered into the services agreement with American Realty Capital II, LLC, or ARC II. Pursuant to the terms of the services agreement, ARC II will provide consulting services to us in connection with our self-management program.

 

In addition, ARC II will make available to us on an ongoing and as needed basis, backup support services, including, without limitation, acquisition, disposition, property management, leasing and asset accounting services. Unless we determine otherwise as part of our self-management program, we do not currently plan to consider the use of, or plan to contract for, the backup support services prior to the termination or expiration of the Advisory Agreement, which expires on September 20, 2009. Under the services agreement, we are not obligated to use ARC II for any of the backup support services, nor are we limited in using any other service provider. ARC II may be entitled to receive a 1.5% subordinated incentive payment as consideration for providing consulting services and for making available backup support services to us. ARC II will receive additional compensation for specific support services as ARC II is requested to provide such services.

 

Transfer Agent Letter of Intent

 

In April 2009, we signed a letter of intent to enter into a binding agreement with DST Systems, Inc. to serve as our transfer agent and to provide subscription processing and investor relations services.

 

Potential Acquisition

 

On May 7, 2009, we signed an offer to purchase two medical office buildings in Wisconsin comprising approximately 129,000 square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $40,700,000.

 

The use of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT Holdings, L.P., except where the context otherwise requires.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and information have been prepared to reflect our financial position as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, together with our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Overview and Background

 

Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on April 20, 2006. Upon or prior to the completion of our transition to self-management, which we expect to complete by September 20, 2009, we intend to change our name to Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. We were initially capitalized on April 28, 2006 and therefore we consider that our date of inception. We provide stockholders the potential for income and growth through investment in a diversified portfolio of real estate properties, focusing primarily on medical office buildings and healthcare related facilities. We have also invested to a limited extent in quality commercial office properties and other real estate related assets. However, we do not intend to invest more than 15.0% of our total assets in other real estate related assets. We focus primarily on investments that produce current income. We qualified and elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and we intend to continue to be taxed as a REIT.

 

We are conducting a best efforts initial public offering, or our offering, in which we are offering up to 200,000,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share and up to 21,052,632 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or the DRIP, at $9.50 per share, aggregating up to $2,200,000,000. As of March 31, 2009, we had received and accepted subscriptions in our offering for 93,249,152 shares of our common stock, or $931,447,000, excluding shares of our common stock issued under the DRIP.

 

On April 6, 2009, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the SEC with respect to a proposed follow-on public offering, or our follow-on offering, of up to 221,052,632 shares of our common stock. Our

follow-on offering would include up to 200,000,000 shares of our common stock to be offered for sale at $10.00 per share and up to 21,052,632 shares of our common stock to be offered for sale pursuant to the DRIP at $9.50 per share. We have not issued any shares under this Registration Statement as it has not been declared effective by the SEC.

 

As of April 30, 2009, we had received and accepted subscriptions in our offering for 100,721,990 shares of our common stock, or $1,006,137,000, excluding shares of our common stock issued under the DRIP.

 

We conduct substantially all of our operations through Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT Holdings, L.P., to be named Healthcare Trust of America, L.P., or our operating partnership. Our internal management team manages our day-to-day operations and oversees and supervises our employees and outside service providers. Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT Advisor, LLC, or our advisor, provides certain accounting, asset management, acquisition and other services to us pursuant to an advisory agreement, as amended and restated on November 14, 2008 and effective as of October 24, 2008, or the Advisory Agreement, between us, our advisor and Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, LLC, or Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, who is the managing member of our advisor. Our advisor is affiliated with us in that we and our advisor have a common officer, who also owns an indirect equity interest in our advisor. Our advisor engages affiliated entities, including Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., or Realty, and Grubb & Ellis Management Services, Inc. to provide various services to us, including property management services.

 

The Advisory Agreement expires on September 20, 2009. Our main objectives in amending the Advisory Agreement were to reduce acquisition and asset management fees, eliminate internalization fees and to set the framework for our transition to self-management. Under the Advisory Agreement, our advisor agreed to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with us as we pursue a self-management program. Upon or prior to completion of our transition to self-management which we expect to complete by September 20, 2009, and/or the termination of the Advisory Agreement, we will no longer be advised by our advisor or consider our company to be sponsored by Grubb & Ellis Company, or Grubb & Ellis.

 

At the commencement of our offering we had minimal assets and operations and we did not believe that it was efficient at that time to engage our own internal management team. As of May 13, 2009, we had acquired 43 geographically diverse properties and other real estate related assets for a total purchase price of $1,003,220,000. As a result of our growth and success, our board of directors believes that we now have the critical mass required to support a self-management structure. Our board of directors believes that self-management will enable us to better position our company for success in the future for several reasons discussed below:

 

Management Team. We believe that our management team, led by Scott D. Peters, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the board of directors, has the experience and expertise to efficiently and effectively operate our company. In addition, we have hired Kellie S. Pruitt as our Chief Accounting Officer and Chris Balish, our Senior Vice President, Asset Management. We have engaged Mark Engstrom as an independent consultant to serve as our acquisition and asset manager and we expect to hire Mr. Engstrom as a full-time employee in the future. We have also hired nine other employees. We intend to continue to hire additional employees and engage independent consultants to expand our self-management infrastructure, assist in our transition to a self-managed company and fulfill other responsibilities, including acquisitions, accounting, asset management, strategic investing and corporate and securities compliance. Mr. Peters is leading our transition to a self-management structure. Our internal management team manages our day-to-day operations and oversees and supervises our employees and third party service providers, who will be retained on an as-needed basis. All key personnel report directly to Mr. Peters.

 

Governance. An integral part of our self-management program is our experienced board of directors. Our board of directors provides effective ongoing governance for our company and spends a substantial amount of time overseeing our transition to self-management. Our governance and management framework is one of our key strengths.

 

Significantly Reduced Cost. From inception through March 31, 2009, we incurred to our advisor and its affiliates approximately $29,388,000 in acquisition fees; approximately $9,036,000 in asset management fees; approximately $3,828,000 in property management fees; and approximately $1,145,000 in leasing fees. We expect third party property management expenses and third party acquisition expenses, including legal fees, due diligence fees and closing costs, to remain approximately the same as under external management. We believe however, that

the total cost of the self-management program will be substantially less than the cost of external management. While our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, previously determined that the fees to our advisor were fair, competitive and commercially reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties, we now believe that by having our own employees and independent consultants manage our operations and retain third party providers, we will significantly reduce our cost structure.

 

No Internalization Fees. Unlike many other non-listed REITs that internalize or pay to acquire various management functions and personnel, such as advisory and asset management services, from their sponsor or advisor prior to listing on a national securities exchange for substantial fees, we will not be required to pay such fees under our self-management program. We believe that by not paying such fees, as well as operating more cost-effectively under our self-management program, we will save a substantial amount of money. To the extent that our management and board of directors determine that utilizing third party service providers for certain services is more cost-effective than conducting such services internally, we will pay for these services based on negotiated terms and conditions consistent with the current marketplace for such services on an as-needed basis.

 

Funding of Self-Management. We believe that the cost of the self-management program will be substantially less than the cost of external management. Therefore, although we are incurring additional costs now related to our transition to self-management, we expect the cost of the self-management program to be effectively funded by future cost savings. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we have already reduced acquisition fees and asset management fees payable to our advisor, which we believe will result in substantial cost savings. In addition, we anticipate that we will achieve further cost savings in the future as a result of reduced and/or eliminated acquisition fees, asset management fees, internalization fees and other outside fees.

 

Dedicated Management and Increased Accountability. Under our self-management program, our officers and employees will only work for our company and will not be associated with any outside advisor or other third party service providers. Our management team, led by Mr. Peters, has direct oversight of employees, independent consultants and third party service providers on an ongoing basis. We believe that these direct reporting relationships along with our performance-based compensation programs and ongoing oversight by our management team create an environment for and will achieve increased accountability and efficiency.

 

Conflicts of Interest. We believe that self-management works to remove inherent conflicts of interest that necessarily exist between an externally advised REIT and its advisor. The elimination or reduction of these inherent conflicts of interest is one of the major reasons that we elected to proceed with the self-management program.

Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations

 

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally, that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the acquisition, management and operation of properties other than those listed in Part II, Item 1A

Rental Income

 

The amount of rental income generated by our properties depends principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space available from unscheduled lease terminations at the existing rental rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental income in future periods.
