1.                                      Business and Organization

 

Business

 

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on January 9, 2007 and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.

 

We acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets.  In particular, we focus generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for short-term capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines.  In addition, given economic conditions as of June 30, 2010, our opportunistic investment strategy also includes investments in real estate-related assets that present opportunities for higher current income.  Such investments may have capital gain characteristics, whether as a result of a discount purchase or related equity participations.  We may acquire a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, recreation and leisure, single-tenant, multifamily, and other real properties.  These properties may be existing, income-producing properties, newly constructed properties, or properties under development or construction and may include multifamily properties purchased for conversion into condominiums and single-tenant properties that may be converted for multi-tenant use.  Further, we may invest in real estate-related securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, either for investment or in change of control transactions completed on a negotiated basis or otherwise.  We also may originate or invest in collateralized mortgage-backed securities, mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans, and Section 1031 tenant-in-common interests (including those issued by affiliates of our advisor), or in entities that make investments similar to the foregoing.  We expect to make our investments in or in respect of real estate assets located in the United States and other countries based on our view of existing market conditions.  We completed our first property acquisition, an office building located in Denver, Colorado, on October 28, 2008, and, as of June 30, 2010, we have invested in five real estate and real estate-related assets.

 

Substantially all of our business is conducted through Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP II LP, a limited partnership organized in Delaware on January 12, 2007 (“Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP II”).  As of June 30, 2010, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was the sole general partner of Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP II and owned a 0.1% partnership interest in Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP II.  As of June 30, 2010, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust II, a Maryland business trust, was the sole limited partner of Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP II and owned the remaining 99.9% interest in Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP II.

 

We are externally managed and advised by Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors II, LLC, a Texas limited liability company that was formed on March 16, 2010 (“Behringer Opportunity Advisors II”) when Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors II LP, a Texas limited partnership formed in January 2007 was converted to a limited liability company.  Behringer Opportunity Advisors II is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf.

 

Our office is located at 15601 Dallas Parkway, Suite 600, Addison, Texas 75001, and our toll-free telephone number is (866) 655-3600.  The name Behringer Harvard is the property of Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC (“Behringer Harvard Holdings”) and is used by permission.

 

Organization

 

On February 26, 2007, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to offer up to 125,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public (the “Offering”), of which 25,000,000 shares are being offered pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”).  We reserve the right to reallocate the shares we are offering between our primary offering and the DRP.  The SEC declared our Registration Statement effective on January 4, 2008, and we commenced our ongoing initial public offering on January 21, 2008.

 

In connection with our initial capitalization, on January 19, 2007, we issued 22,471 shares of our common stock and 1,000 shares of our convertible stock to Behringer Harvard Holdings, an affiliate of our advisor.  As of June 30, 2010, we had 19,867,509 shares of common stock outstanding, which includes the 22,471 shares issued to Behringer Harvard Holdings.  As of June 30, 2010, we had 1,000 shares of convertible stock issued and outstanding to Behringer Opportunity Advisors II.

 

We commenced operations on April 1, 2008 upon satisfaction of the conditions of our escrow agreement and our acceptance of initial subscriptions of common stock.  Upon admission of new stockholders, subscription proceeds are used for payment of dealer manager fees and selling commissions and may be utilized as consideration for investments and the payment or reimbursement of offering expenses and operating expenses.  Until required for such purposes, net offering

proceeds are held in short-term, liquid investments.  Through June 30, 2010, we had sold 19,997,452 shares in the Offering, including the DRP, for gross proceeds of $199.3 million.

 

Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange.  Depending upon then prevailing market conditions, it is our intention to consider beginning the process of liquidating our assets and distributing the net proceeds to our stockholders within three to six years after the termination of our primary offering.  If we do not begin an orderly liquidation within that period, we may seek to have our shares listed on a national securities exchange.

 

2.                                      Interim Unaudited Financial Information

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2010.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this quarterly report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

The results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.  The accompanying consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of equity as of June 30, 2010, the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly present our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.  Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

3.                                      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

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.  These estimates include such items as purchase price allocation for real estate acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, and allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have control.  All inter-company transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.  Interests in entities acquired will be evaluated based on applicable GAAP, which includes the requirement to consolidate entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary.  If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entities will be evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which we have control and/or substantive participating rights under the respective ownership agreement.  In the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, all dollar and share amounts in tabulation are in thousands of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise noted.

 

There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which we have made an investment is a VIE and if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.  The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, calculating the percentage of equity being risked compared to the total equity of the entity.  Determining expected future losses involves assumptions of various possibilities of the results of future operations of the entity, assigning a probability to each possibility, and using a discount rate to determine the net present value of those future losses.  A change in the judgments, assumptions, and estimates outlined above could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment using the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our financial statements.

 

We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Real Estate

 

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date, measured at their fair values.  The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the real estate property.  The assets acquired and liabilities assumed may consist of buildings, any assumed

debt, identified intangible assets and asset retirement obligations.  Identified intangible assets generally consist of the above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and tenant relationships.  Goodwill is recognized as of the acquisition date and measured as the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.  Likewise, a bargain purchase gain is recognized in current earnings when the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.  Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred.

 

Initial valuations are subject to change until our information is finalized, which is no later than twelve months from the acquisition date.

 

We determine the fair value of assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled note payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that we believe we could obtain.  Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan.

 

The fair value of the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and buildings, is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and buildings.  Land values are derived from appraisals, and building values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or management’s estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods.  The value of the commercial office building is depreciated over the estimated useful life of 25 years using the straight-line method.

 

We determine the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to (a) the remaining non-cancelable lease term for above-market leases, or (b) the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any fixed rate renewal option for below-market leases.  We record the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the above determined lease term.

 

The total value of identified real estate intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant.  The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships is determined by applying a fair value model.  The estimates of fair value of in-place leases include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces, considering current market conditions.  In estimating fair value of in-place leases, we consider items such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period and carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not been in place, including tenant improvements and commissions.  The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also include costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant improvements as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis.

 

We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the term of the respective leases.  The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, 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 tenant relationship intangibles is charged to expense.  As of June 30, 2010, the estimated remaining useful life for acquired lease intangibles was approximately five years.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider investments in highly-liquid money market funds or investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.

 

Restricted Cash

 

As required by our lenders, restricted cash is held in escrow accounts for real estate taxes and other reserves for our consolidated properties.

 

Investment Impairment

 

For real estate we wholly own, we monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable.  When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset.  In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value.  We consider projected future undiscounted cash flows, trends, strategic decisions regarding future development plans, and other factors in our assessment of whether impairment conditions exist.  While we believe our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding factors such as market rents, economic conditions, and occupancy rates could significantly affect these estimates.

 

In addition, we evaluate our investments in real estate loans receivable each reporting date and if it is probable we will not collect all principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the loan, we will record an impairment charge based on these evaluations.  While we believe it is currently probable we will collect all scheduled principal and interest with respect to our real estate loan receivable, current market conditions with respect to credit availability and with respect to real estate market fundamentals create a significant amount of uncertainty.  Given this, any future adverse development in market conditions may cause us to re-evaluate our conclusions, and could result in material impairment charges with respect to the real estate loan receivable.

In evaluating our investments for impairment, management may use appraisals and makes estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the properties, the estimated future cash flows of the properties during our ownership, and the projected sales price of each of the properties.  A future change in these estimates and assumptions could result in understating or overstating the book value of our investments, which could be material to our financial statements.

 

We believe the carrying value of our operating real estate and loan investment is currently recoverable.  Accordingly, there were no impairment charges for the three or six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.  However, if market conditions worsen beyond our current expectations, or if changes in our strategy significantly affect any key assumptions used in our fair value calculations, we may need to take charges in future periods for impairments related to our existing investments.  Any such non-cash charges would have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize rental income generated from leases on real estate assets on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, including the effect of rent holidays, if any.  Straight-line rental revenue of less than $0.1 million was recognized in rental revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  Straight-line rental revenue of less than $0.1 million was recognized in rental revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.  Below market lease amortization of $0.3 million and $0.5 million was recognized in rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  Below market lease amortization of $0.3 million and $0.6 million was recognized in rental revenues for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

 

We recognize interest income from real estate loans receivable on an accrual basis over the life of the loan using the interest method.  Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs, as well as acquisition premiums or discounts, are amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to interest income.  We will stop accruing interest on loans when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest of the loan.  In the event that we stop accruing interest on a loan, we will generally not recognize subsequent interest income until cash is received or we make the decision to restart interest accrual on the loan.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable primarily consist of straight-line rental revenue receivables of $0.2 million as of June 30, 2010 and receivables from our tenants related to 1875 Lawrence, a multi-tenant office building located in Denver, Colorado (“1875 Lawrence”), Palms of Monterrey, a multifamily investment located in Fort Myers, Florida (“Palms of Monterrey”), and Holstenplatz, a multi-tenant office building located in Hamburg, Germany (“Holstenplatz”).  As of December 31, 2009, accounts receivable primarily consist of straight-line rental revenue receivables of $0.2 million and receivables from our tenants related to 1875 Lawrence.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other assets include prepaid directors’ and officers’ insurance, as well as prepaid insurance of our consolidated property.

 

Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment

 

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five to seven years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals or improvements to such assets are capitalized.  Accumulated depreciation associated with our furniture, fixtures, and equipment was less than $0.1 million as of June 30, 2010.  We had no furniture, fixtures, and equipment as of December 31, 2009.

 

Deferred Financing Fees

 

Deferred financing fees are recorded at cost and are amortized to interest expense of our note payable using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method over the life of the related debt.  Accumulated amortization of deferred financing fees was $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

 

Organization and Offering Expenses

 

We reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for any organization and offering expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the primary offering (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee).  Before October 2, 2009

we did not reimburse expenses that caused our total organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) related to our primary offering to exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds from the primary offering as of the date of reimbursement.  At each balance sheet date, we estimated the total gross public offering proceeds expected to be received under the Offering and recognized the amount of organization and offering reimbursement.  We recorded the amount of reimbursement at the lower of (a) 1.5% of the estimated gross public offering proceeds, or (b) the actual organization and offering costs incurred by our advisor or its affiliates.  Effective October 2, 2009, we changed the timing in determining the limit on the amount of the reimbursement of organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee).  Until $7.5 million of organization and offering expenses are reimbursed, we record the actual organization and offering costs incurred by our advisor or its affiliates and reimbursed by us.  See Note 11.

 

Organization and offering expenses are defined generally as any and all costs and expenses incurred by us in connection with our formation, preparing for the Offering, the qualification and registration of the Offering, and the marketing and distribution of our shares.  Organization and offering expenses include, but are not limited to, accounting and legal fees, costs to amend the registration statement and supplement the prospectus, printing, mailing and distribution costs, filing fees, amounts to reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for the salaries of employees, and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales literature, telecommunication costs, fees of the transfer agent, registrars, trustees, escrow holders, depositories and experts, and fees and costs for employees of our advisor or its affiliates to attend industry conferences.

 

All offering costs are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital, and all organization costs are recorded as an expense at the time we become liable for the payment of these amounts.

 

Income Taxes

 

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and have qualified as a REIT since the year ended December 31, 2008.  To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders.  As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level.  We are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code and intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.

 

We have reviewed our tax positions under GAAP guidance that clarifies the relevant criteria and approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions.  The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return.  A tax position may only be recognized in the financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination.  We believe it is more likely than not that the tax positions taken relative to our status as a REIT will be sustained in any tax examination.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

For our international investment where the functional currency is other than the US dollar, assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates, while the statement of operations amounts are translated using the average exchange rates for the respective period.  Differences arising from the translation of assets and liabilities in comparison with the translation of the previous periods or from initial recognition during the period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

The Euro is the functional currency for the operations of Holstenplatz.  We also maintain a Euro-denominated bank account that is translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at each reporting period.  The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated statement of equity.  As of June 30, 2010, there was no currency translation adjustment recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as we acquired Holstenplatz on June 30, 2010.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We have adopted a stock-based incentive award plan for our directors and consultants and for employees, directors and consultants of our affiliates.  We have not issued any stock-based awards under the plan as of June 30, 2010.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels.  We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents among several banking

institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities.  We regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash.

 

Noncontrolling Interest

 

Noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling ownership interest’s proportionate share of the equity in our consolidated real estate investments including the 10%, unaffiliated partner’s share of the equity in Palms of Monterrey.  Income and losses are allocated to noncontrolling interest holder based on their ownership percentage.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted income (loss) per share were the same for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 as there were no stock-based awards outstanding.

Real Estate Asset Acquisitions

 

Palms of Monterrey

 

On May 10, 2010, we obtained a 90% fee simple interest in the Palms of Monterrey, a 408-unit multifamily complex located in Fort Myers, Florida.  Prior to May 10, 2010, we were the holder of a 90% interest in a promissory note secured by a first lien mortgage in the property.  On January 20, 2010, we reached an agreement with the borrower so that the borrower would not contest the foreclosure proceedings in exchange for $0.3 million.  A final judgment of foreclosure was entered on March 22, 2010 and the foreclosure sale for Palms of Monterrey was held on April 27, 2010.  We were the only bidder in the sale and acquired the fee simple interest in the property on May 10, 2010.  Total consideration transferred for the Palms of Monterrey was cash of $26.8 million of which our 90% interest was paid from the proceeds of our Offering.  As a result of obtaining a fee simple interest in Palms of Monterrey, the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed were measured at fair value, resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $5.5 million which was recognized in the line item ‘bargain purchase gain’ in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  In determining fair value, we obtained an appraisal and utilized assumptions including estimated cash flows, discount rates, and capitalization rates.

Holstenplatz

 

On June 30, 2010, we acquired a 100% interest in a multi-tenant office building known as Holstenplatz, located in Hamburg, Germany (“Holstenplatz”).  Holstenplatz is an eight-story office building containing approximately 80,000 rentable square feet.  Total consideration transferred for Holstenplatz was $12.5 million and consisted of cash of $2.8 million from the proceeds of our Offering, and proceeds of $9.7 million from a loan with a financial institution (see Note 8).

 

Due to the timing of the acquisition, Holstenplatz did not contribute any meaningful revenue or earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2009:

6.                                      Variable Interest Entities

 

GAAP requires the consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest.  A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

Our variable interest in VIEs may be in the form of (1) equity ownership and/or (2) loans provided by us to a VIE, or other partner.  We examine specific criteria and use judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.  Factors considered in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, level of economic disproportionality between us and the other partner(s), and contracts to purchase assets from VIEs.

 

PAL Loan

 

On August 14, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement with an unaffiliated third party (borrower) to provide up to $25 million of second lien financing for the privatization of, and improvements to, approximately 3,200 hotel lodging units on ten U.S. Army installations, the PAL Loan.  As of June 30, 2010, $24.4 million of the aggregate $25 million available under the loan agreement was outstanding and is included in real estate loans receivable on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010.  Based on our evaluation, we have determined that the unaffiliated third party entity meets the criteria of a variable interest entity but that we are not the primary beneficiary because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance.  The power to direct these activities resides with the general partner of the unaffiliated third party.  Accordingly, we do not consolidate the unaffiliated third party entity.

 

Stone Creek

 

In November 2009, we acquired a 9.99% limited partnership interest in a multifamily property, Stone Creek, in Killeen, Texas for $0.5 million.  Based on our evaluation, we have determined that the entity meets the criteria of a variable interest entity under GAAP but that we are not the primary beneficiary because we do not have a significant obligation to absorb losses or significant right to receive benefits.  These obligations and rights are held by the owner of the 90% interest.  Accordingly, we do not consolidate the Stone Creek entity and instead account for it under the equity method of accounting.

(1) We acquired the loan in default with the intent to foreclose on the borrower and secure a fee simple interest in the underlying collateral. We obtained the fee simple interest on May 10, 2010.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we earned $2.6 million in interest income from our real estate loans receivable, including $1.5 million related to the PAL Loan.  Until the foreclosure process was complete on the Palms of Monterrey, we recognized interest income on the defaulted note when cash was received.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we received $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to the Palms of Monterrey real estate loan receivable, which was recognized as interest income in the period received.  A final judgment of foreclosure was entered on March 22, 2010 and the foreclosure sale for Palms of Monterrey was held on April 27, 2010.  We were the only bidder in the sale and we acquired a fee simple interest in the property on May 10, 2010 (See Note 5).

We have unconditionally guaranteed payment of the note payable related to 1875 Lawrence for an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) $11.75 million and (ii) 50% of the total amount advanced under the loan agreement if the aggregate amount advanced is less than $23.5 million.  We have guaranteed payment of the note payable related to Palms of Monterrey and, as guarantor, are subject to certain recourse liabilities with respect to certain “bad boy” acts as set forth in the Guaranty in favor of the unaffiliated lender.

 

Due to the variable interest rate nature of the loans related to 1875 Lawrence and Palms of Monterrey, we believe that these loans are stated at their fair value as of June 30, 2010.  We believe that the Holstenplatz fixed rate note payable is also stated at its fair value as it was originated in June 2010.

 

We are subject to customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants, representations, warranties and borrowing conditions, all as set forth in the loan agreements.

Palms of Monterrey

 

On June 11, 2010, we entered into a Freddie Mac-financed mortgage loan with an unaffiliated lender to borrow $19.7 million. The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on the Palms of Monterrey in Fort Myers, Florida that we acquired on May 10, 2010.

 

The Loan bears interest at a variable annual rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 3.35%, with a ceiling of 7%.  Commencing on August 1, 2010 and continuing through July 1, 2012, monthly payments of accrued unpaid interest are required.  Commencing on August 1, 2012 and continuing until July 1, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”), monthly payments of principal and interest are required with principal calculated using an amortization term of 30 years.  The unpaid principal balance and all accrued unpaid interest is due and payable on the Maturity Date.  We have the right to prepay the entire outstanding amount of the Loan provided that if prepayment is made prior to April 1, 2017, a prepayment premium is required.

 

Holstenplatz

 

On June 30, 2010, in connection with the acquisition of the Holstenplatz property, we entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution to borrow up to $10.1 million. The outstanding balance of the loan as of June 30, 2010 was $9.7 million.  The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on Holstenplatz.  The loan bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.887% and requires monthly payments of principal and interest.  The loan matures on April 30, 2015.

The schedule above does not include rental payments due to us from our multifamily properties as leases associated with these properties typically include cancellation rights.  As of June 30, 2010, one of our tenants accounted for 10% or more of our aggregate annual rental revenues from our consolidated properties.  Policy Studies, Inc., a tenant in the healthcare consulting services industry, accounted for rental revenue of approximately $0.4 million, or approximately 13%, of our aggregate rental revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Policy Studies, Inc. has exercised its termination option and plans to vacate the building on or before August 31, 2010.

 

10.                               Distributions

 

We initiated the payment of monthly distributions in April 2008 in an amount equal to a 3% annualized rate of return, based on an investment in our common stock of $10.00 per share and calculated on a daily record basis of $0.0008219 per share.  The annualized rate of return was raised to 5% effective June 1, 2009, calculated on a daily record basis of $0.0013699 per share.  A portion of each distribution is expected to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.  Pursuant to the DRP, stockholders may elect to reinvest any cash distribution in additional shares of common stock.  We record all distributions when declared, except that the stock issued through the DRP is recorded when the shares are actually issued.  Distributions declared and payable as of June 30, 2010 were $0.8 million, which included $0.3 million of cash distributions payable.  Distributions declared and payable as of June 30, 2009 were $0.4 million, which included $0.1 million of cash distributions payable.

Our advisor and certain of its affiliates will receive fees and compensation in connection with the Offering, and in connection with the acquisition, management, and sale of our assets.

 

Behringer Securities LP (“Behringer Securities”), the dealer-manager and an affiliate of our advisor, receives commissions of up to 7% of gross offering proceeds.  Behringer Securities reallows 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers.  In addition, we pay Behringer Securities a dealer manager fee of up to 2.5% of gross offering

proceeds.  Pursuant to separately negotiated agreements, Behringer Securities may reallow a portion of its dealer manager fee in an aggregate amount up to 2% of gross offering proceeds to broker-dealers participating in the Offering; provided, however, that Behringer Securities may reallow, in the aggregate, no more than 1.5% of gross offering proceeds for marketing fees and expenses, conference fees and non-itemized, non-invoiced due diligence efforts and no more than 0.5% of gross offering proceeds for out-of-pocket and bona fide, separately invoiced due diligence expenses incurred as fees, costs or other expenses from third parties.  Further, in special cases pursuant to separately negotiated agreements and subject to applicable limitations imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Behringer Securities may use a portion of its dealer manager fee to reimburse certain broker-dealers participating in the Offering for technology costs and expenses associated with the Offering and costs and expenses associated with the facilitation of the marketing and ownership of our shares by such broker-dealers’ customers.  No selling commissions or dealer manager fee will be paid for sales under the DRP.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Behringer Securities earned selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $3.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Behringer Securities earned selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $2.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

 

We reimburse Behringer Opportunity Advisors II or its affiliates for any organization and offering expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with our primary offering (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee).  On October 2, 2009, we entered into an Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement with Behringer Opportunity Advisors II.  The Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement changes the timing in determining the reimbursement of organization and offering expenses by us during the offering and waives the reimbursement of $3.5 million of organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) the advisor incurred on our behalf through December 31, 2008.  We wrote off the $3.5 million of organization and offering expenses in the fourth quarter of 2009 which reduced the outstanding balance payable to affiliates, and increased our additional paid-in capital.  Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement we will reimburse our advisor for organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) incurred on our behalf until an aggregate of $7.5 million of such organization and offering expenses have been reimbursed to our advisor.  Thereafter, we will not reimburse any such organization and offering expenses until the completion of our primary offering.  Upon completion of our primary offering, we will reimburse our advisor for any additional organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) incurred up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the completed primary offering; provided however, we will not be required to reimburse our advisor any additional amounts and our advisor will be required to reimburse us to the extent that the total amount spent by us on organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) would exceed 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the completed primary offering.  In connection with the Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement, we reimbursed $3.4 million of organization and offering expenses to Behringer Opportunity Advisors II on October 20, 2009.

 

Since our inception through June 30, 2010, approximately $11.1 million of organization and offering expenses had been incurred by Behringer Opportunity Advisors II or its affiliates on our behalf.  Of this amount, $3.5 million had been written off per the Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement (discussed above), and $6.7 million had been reimbursed by us.  The total we are required to remit to our advisor for organization and offering expenses pursuant to the Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement is $7.5 million (discussed above).  Included in payables to affiliates on our balance sheet is $0.8 million of reimbursements payable.  Of the $0.8 million of organization and offering expenses reimbursable by us through June 30, 2010, none was expensed as organizational costs.  Therefore, the entire $0.8 million was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.  Behringer Opportunity Advisors II or its affiliates determines the amount of organization and offering expenses owed based on specific invoice identification as well as an allocation of costs to us and other Behringer Harvard programs, based on respective equity offering results of those entities in offering.

 

Our advisor or its affiliates receive acquisition and advisory fees of 2.5% of the amount paid and/or budgeted in respect of the purchase, development, construction, or improvement of each asset we acquire, including any debt attributable to these assets.  Our advisor and its affiliates will also receive acquisition and advisory fees of 2.5% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan or other investment.

 

Our advisor or its affiliates also receive an acquisition expense reimbursement in the amount of 0.25% of the funds paid for purchasing an asset, including any debt attributable to the asset, plus 0.25% of the funds budgeted for development, construction, or improvement in the case of assets that we acquire and intend to develop, construct, or improve.  Our advisor or its affiliates will also receive an acquisition expense reimbursement in the amount of 0.25% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan or other investment.  In addition, to the extent our advisor or its affiliates directly provide services formerly provided or usually provided by third parties, including without limitation accounting services related to the preparation of

audits required by the SEC, property condition reports, title services, title insurance, insurance brokerage or environmental services related to the preparation of environmental assessments in connection with a completed investment the direct employee costs and burden to our advisor of providing these services will be acquisition expenses for which we will reimburse our advisor.  We also pay third parties, or reimburse the advisor or its affiliates, for any investment-related expenses due to third parties in the case of a completed investment, including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, costs of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, third-party brokerage or finder’s fees, title insurance, premium expenses, and other closing costs.  In addition, acquisition expenses for which we will reimburse our advisor, include any payments made to (i) a prospective seller of an asset, (ii) an agent of a prospective seller of an asset, or (iii) a party that has the right to control the sale of an asset intended for investment by us that are not refundable and that are not ultimately applied against the purchase price for such asset.  Except as described above with respect to services customarily or previously provided by third parties, our advisor is responsible for paying all of the expenses it incurs associated with persons employed by the advisor to the extent dedicated to making investments for us, such as wages and benefits of the investment personnel.  Our advisor or its affiliates are also responsible for paying all of the investment-related expenses that we or our advisor or its affiliates incur that are due to third parties or related to the additional services provided by our advisor as described above with respect to investments we do not make other than certain non-refundable payments made in connection with any acquisition.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred $0.9 million and $0.1 million of acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expense reimbursements, respectively.  We incurred no such fees for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

 

We pay our advisor or its affiliates a debt financing fee of 1% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit made available to us.  It is anticipated that our advisor will pay some or all of these fees to third parties with whom it subcontracts to coordinate financing for us.  We incurred debt financing fees of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  We did not incur any debt financing fees for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

 

We pay our advisor or its affiliates a development fee in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the project if such affiliate provides the development services and if a majority of our independent directors determines that such development fee is fair and reasonable and on terms and conditions not less favorable than those available from unaffiliated third parties.  We incurred no such fees for the six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.

 

We pay our property manager and affiliate of our advisor, Behringer Harvard Opportunity II Management Services, LLC (“BHO II Management”), or its affiliates, fees for the management, leasing, and construction supervision of our properties.  Property management fees are 4.5% of the gross revenues of the properties managed by BHO II Management or its affiliates plus leasing commissions based upon the customary leasing commission applicable to the same geographic location of the respective property.  In the event that we contract directly with a third-party property manager in respect of a property, BHO II Management or its affiliates receives an oversight fee equal to 0.5% of the gross revenues of the property managed.  In no event will BHO II Management or its affiliates receive both a property management fee and an oversight fee with respect to any particular property.  In the event we own a property through a joint venture that does not pay BHO II Management directly for its services, we will pay BHO II Management a management fee or oversight fee, as applicable, based only on an economic interest in the property.  We incurred and expensed property management fees or oversight fees to BHO II Management of approximately $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

We pay our advisor or its affiliates a monthly asset management fee of one-twelfth of 1.0% of the sum of the higher of the cost or value of each asset.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we expensed $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of asset management fees.

 

We reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for all expenses paid or incurred by the advisor in connection with the services provided to us, subject to the limitation that we will not reimburse our advisor for any amount by which its operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of:  (A) 2% of our average invested assets, or (B) 25% of our net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of our assets for that period.  Notwithstanding the above, we may reimburse the advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred and expensed such costs for administrative services totaling $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

 

We are dependent on Behringer Securities, Behringer Opportunity Advisors II, and BHO II Management for certain services that are essential to us, including the sale of shares of our common stock, asset acquisition and disposition decisions,

Item 2.                                                           Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying financial statements and the notes thereto.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  These forward-looking statements include discussion and analysis of the financial condition of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. and our subsidiaries (which may be referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), including our ability to rent space on favorable terms, to address our debt maturities and to fund our liquidity requirements, the value of our assets, our anticipated capital expenditures, the amount and timing of anticipated future cash distributions to our stockholders, the estimated per share value of our common stock and other matters.  Words such as “may,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but reflect the intent, belief or current expectations of our management based on their knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, the economy and other future conditions.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution stockholders not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to the factors listed and described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2010 and the factors described below:

 

·                  no trading market for our shares and no assurance that one will ever develop;

 

·                  delays in locating suitable investments;

 

·                  our ability to invest in a diverse portfolio;

 

·                  investments in foreign properties susceptible to currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political developments, and changes in foreign laws;

 

·                  market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. and global economies or real estate industry as a whole and the local economic conditions in the markets in which our properties are located;

 

·                  the availability of credit generally, and any failure to refinance or extend our debt as it comes due or a failure to satisfy the conditions and requirements of that debt;

 

·                  future increases in interest rates;

Executive Overview

 

We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic basis.  In particular, we focus generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for short-term capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines.  In addition, given current economic conditions, our opportunistic investment strategy may also include investments in loans secured by or related to real estate at more attractive rates of current return than have been available for some time.  Such loan investments may have capital gain characteristics, whether as a result of a discount purchase or related equity participations.  We may acquire a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, recreation and leisure, single-tenant, multifamily, and other real properties.  These properties may be existing, income-producing properties, newly constructed properties or properties under development or construction, and may include multifamily properties purchased for conversion into condominiums and single-tenant properties that may be converted for multi-tenant use.  Further, we may invest in real estate-related securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, either for investment or in change of control transactions completed on a negotiated basis or otherwise.  We also may originate or invest in collateralized mortgage-backed securities, mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans, and Section 1031 tenant-in-common interests (including those issued by affiliates of our advisor), or in entities that make investments similar to the foregoing.  We expect to make our investments in or in respect of real estate assets located in the United States and other countries based on current market conditions.

 

On February 26, 2007, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer up to 125,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public, of which 25,000,000 shares are being offered pursuant to our DRP.  We reserve the right to reallocate the shares we are offering between our primary offering and the DRP.  The SEC declared our Registration Statement effective on January 4, 2008, and we commenced our ongoing initial public offering on January 21, 2008.  We commenced operations on April 1, 2008 upon satisfaction of the conditions of our escrow agreement and acceptance of initial subscriptions of common stock.

 

Market Outlook

 

Beginning in 2008, the U.S. and global economies have experienced a significant downturn.  This downturn included disruptions in the broader financial and credit markets, declining consumer confidence, and an increase in unemployment rates.  These conditions have contributed to weakened market conditions.  Due to the struggling U.S. and global economies, including losses in the financial and professional services industries, overall demand across most real estate sectors including office, multifamily, hospitality, and retail remains low.  We believe that corresponding rental rates will also remain weak at least through the third quarter of 2010.  The national vacancy percentage for office space increased from 14.5% in the fourth quarter of 2008 to 19.6% in the first quarter of 2010.  Office vacancies are expected to peak at around 20% in 2010.  Further, we believe that tenant defaults and bankruptcies are likely to increase in the short-term.  To date, we have not experienced any significant tenant defaults resulting in the loss of material rental income.

 

In the multifamily real estate sector, a limited new supply of multifamily assets is expected in the near future.  Since high quality multifamily developments can take 18 months to 36 months to entitle, obtain necessary permits, and construct, we believe there will be an imbalance in supply and demand fundamentals for at least the next couple of years.  As the economy improves, we expect renter demand and effective rents to increase in multifamily communities.

 

As a result of the existing economic conditions, our primary objectives are to raise capital and to take advantage of favorable investment opportunities.  We believe that the current economic environment will result in investment opportunities for many high-quality real estate and real estate-related assets.  To the extent that we have capital available to invest, we plan to actively pursue investment opportunities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related assets, for the payment of operating expenses and distributions, and for the payment of interest on our outstanding indebtedness.  Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions from our cash flow from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions from the net proceeds of the Offering and from financings.

 

24



Table of Contents

 

We expect to fund our short-term liquidity requirements by using the net proceeds realized from the Offering and cash flow from the operations of investments we acquire.  Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional real estate assets are added to the portfolio.  For both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, other potential future sources of capital may include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of our investments, if and when any are sold, and undistributed funds from operations.  If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.

 

Our advisor may, but is not required to, establish capital reserves from gross offering proceeds, out of cash flow generated by operating properties and other investments, or out of non-liquidating net sale proceeds from the sale of our properties and other investments.  Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions and major capital expenditures.  Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for escrow of capital reserves.

 

We intend to borrow money to acquire properties and make other investments.  There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single property or other asset or on the amount we can borrow for the purchase of any individual property or other investment.  Under our charter, the maximum amount of our indebtedness shall not exceed 300% of our “net assets” (as defined by our charter) as of the date of any borrowing; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors.  In addition to our charter limitation, our board of directors has adopted a policy to generally limit our aggregate borrowings to approximately 75% of the aggregate value of our assets unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests.  Our policy limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets and will only apply once we have ceased raising capital under the Offering or any subsequent offering and invested substantially all of our capital.  As a result, we expect to borrow more than 75% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset we acquire during the early periods of our operations to the extent our board of directors determines that borrowing at these levels is prudent.

 

The commercial real estate debt markets are continuing to experience volatility as a result of certain factors, including the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies.  Credit spreads for major sources of capital have widened significantly as investors have demanded a higher risk premium.  This is resulting in lenders increasing the cost for debt financing.  Consequently, there is greater uncertainty regarding our ability to access the credit markets in order to attract financing on reasonable terms.  Our ability to borrow funds to finance future acquisitions could be adversely affected by our inability to secure permanent financing on reasonable terms, if at all.

 

Should the overall cost of borrowings increase, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, we will need to factor such increases into the economics of our acquisitions, developments and property contributions.  This may result in our investment operations generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flow, which could potentially impact our ability to make distributions to our stockholders at current levels.  In addition, the recent dislocations in the debt markets have reduced the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn: (i) leads to a decline in real estate values generally; (ii) slows real estate transaction activity; (iii) reduces the loan to value upon which lenders are willing to extend debt; and, (iv) results in difficulty in refinancing debt as it becomes due, all of which may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the value of real estate investments and the revenues, income or cash flow from the acquisition and operations of real properties and mortgage loans.  In addition, the current state of the debt markets has negatively impacted the ability to raise equity capital.

 

If the current debt market environment persists, we may modify our investment strategies in order to seek to optimize our portfolio performance.  Our strategies may include, among other options, limiting or eliminating the use of debt and focusing on those investments that do not require the use of leverage to meet our portfolio goals.

 

Debt Financings

 

We may, from time to time, make mortgage, bridge, or mezzanine loans and other loans for acquisitions and investments as well as property development.  We may obtain financing at the time an asset is acquired or an investment is made or at such later time as determined to be necessary, depending on multiple factors.

 

At June 30, 2010, our notes payable balance was $48.2 million and consisted of the notes payable related to 1875 Lawrence, Palms of Monterrey, and Holstenplatz.  We have unconditionally guaranteed payment of the note payable related to 1875 Lawrence for an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) $11.75 million and (ii) 50% of the total amount advanced under the loan agreement if the aggregate amount advanced is less than $23.5 million.  We have guaranteed payment of the note payable related to Palms of Monterrey and, as guarantor, are subject to certain recourse liabilities with respect to certain “bad boy” acts as set forth in the Guaranty in favor of the unaffiliated lender.

In accordance with the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts published by the North American Securities Administrators Association, also known as the NASAA REIT Guidelines, our charter requires that we monitor our expenses on a trailing twelve month basis.  Our charter defines the following terms and requires that our Total Operating Expenses (“TOE”) are deemed to be excessive if at the end of any quarter they exceed for the prior trailing twelve month period the greater of 2% of our Average Invested Assets (“AIA”) or 25% of our Net Income (“NI”).  For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2010, TOE of $2.4 million exceeded the greater of 2% of our AIA or 25% of our NI by $0.5 million.  Our Board of Directors, including all of our independent directors, have reviewed this analysis and unanimously determined the excess to be justified because the Company was in its development stage through April 1, 2008 when the Company accepted its first investors under its initial public offering and did not acquire its first real estate or real estate-related asset until October 28, 2008 and did not acquire any additional assets until the third quarter of 2009, which caused the

expenses it incurred in connection with its organization and as a result of being a public company for audit and legal services, director and officer liability insurance, and fees and expenses for board members in connection with service on the board and its committees to be disproportionate to the Company’s AIA and its NI.

 

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

 

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance.  We use FFO, defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, subsidiaries, and noncontrolling interests as one measure to evaluate our operating performance.  In addition to FFO, we use modified funds from operations (“Modified Funds from Operations” or “MFFO”), which excludes from FFO acquisition-related costs, impairment charges, and adjustments to fair value for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting, to further evaluate our operating performance.

 

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time.  Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient.  As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO and MFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance.

 

We believe that FFO is helpful to investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income.  We believe MFFO is helpful to our investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO.  By providing MFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long term, core operating activities.  We believe fluctuations in MFFO are more indicative of changes in operating activities and provide comparability in evaluating our performance over time and as compared to other real estate companies that may not have acquisition activities, derivatives, or affected by impairments.

 

As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes the items considered in the calculation of MFFO based on the following economic considerations:

 

·                  Acquisition-related costs.  In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analysis differentiate costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment.  Prior to 2009, acquisition costs for these types of investments were capitalized; however beginning in 2009 acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed.  We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of our real estate investments and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties.

 

·                  Impairment charges.  An impairment charge represents a downward adjustment to the carrying amount of a long-lived asset to reflect the current valuation of the asset even when the asset is intended to be held long-term.  Such adjustment, when properly recognized under GAAP, may lag the underlying consequences related to rental rates, occupancy and other operating performance trends.  The valuation is also based, in part, on the impact of current market fluctuations and estimates of future capital requirements and long-term operating performance that may not be directly attributable to current operating performance.  Because MFFO excludes impairment charges, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in our operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect only anticipated losses.

 

·                  Adjustments to fair value for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting.  Management uses derivatives in the management of our debt and interest rate exposure.  We do not intend to speculate in these interest rate derivatives and accordingly period-to-period changes in derivative valuations are not primary factors in management’s decision-making process.  We believe by excluding the gains or losses from these derivatives, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of the hedges independent of short-term market fluctuations.

FFO or MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions and should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, MFFO per share has been impacted by the increase in net proceeds realized from the Offering.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we sold 5 million shares of our common stock, increasing our outstanding shares by 35%.  The proceeds from the issuance are temporarily invested in short-term cash equivalents until they can be invested in real estate and real estate-related assets.  Due to lower interest rates on cash equivalent investments, interest earnings were minimal.  We expect to invest these proceeds in higher earning real estate and real estate-related assets consistent with our investment policy.  We believe this will add value to our stockholders over our longer term investment horizon, even if this results in less current period earnings.

In addition, cash from MFFO may be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from MFFO, such as capital expenditures and payments of principal on debt, each of which may impact the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

 

Distributions

 

Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of our performance over the previous period, expectations of performance for future periods, including actual and anticipated operating cash flow, changes in market capitalization rates for investments suitable for our portfolio, capital expenditure needs, general financial condition, and other factors that our board deems relevant.  The board’s decision will be influenced, in substantial part, by its obligation to ensure that we maintain our status as a REIT.  In light of the pervasive and fundamental disruptions in the global financial and real estate markets, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to achieve expected cash flows necessary to continue to pay distributions at any particular level, or at all.  If the current economic conditions continue, our board could determine to reduce our current distribution rate or cease paying distributions in order to conserve cash.

 

Until proceeds from the Offering are fully invested and generating sufficient operating cash flow to fully fund the payment of distributions to our stockholders, we have and will continue to pay some or all of our distributions from sources other than operating cash flow.  We may, for example, generate cash to pay distributions from financing activities, components of which may include proceeds from the Offering and borrowings (including borrowings secured by our assets) in anticipation of future operating cash flow.  In addition, from time to time, our advisor and its affiliates may agree to waive or defer all, or a portion, of the acquisition, asset management or other fees or incentives due to them, pay general administrative expenses or otherwise supplement investor returns in order to increase the amount of cash that we have available to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

Cash amounts distributed to stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $1.2 million.  Distributions funded through the issuance of shares under the DRP during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $2.9 million.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash flows used in operating activities were $0.8 million.  Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, none of the cash flows from operating activities exceeded cash amount distributed to stockholders.  The shortfall for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was funded from proceeds from the Offering.  Cash amounts distributed to stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $0.3 million.  Distributions funded through the issuance of shares under the DRP during the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $0.9 million.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash flows provided by operating activities were less than $0.1 million.  Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash amounts distributed to stockholders exceeded cash flow provided by operations by approximately $0.3 million.  The shortfall for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was funded from proceeds from the Offering.

 

The following are the distributions paid and declared as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 (amounts in thousands except per share amounts).

Distributions declared per share assumes the share was issued and outstanding each day during the period and was based on a declared daily distribution rate of $0.0008219 per share per day for the period through May 31, 2009.  As of June 1, 2009, the effective daily distribution rate is $0.0013699.  Each day during the first and second quarters of 2010 was a record date for distributions.  On June 22, 2010, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions payable to the stockholders of record each day during the months of July, August, and September 2010.  Distributions payable to each stockholder of record will be paid in cash on or before the 16th day of the following month.

 

Operating performance cannot be accurately predicted due to numerous factors, including our ability to raise and invest capital at favorable yields, the financial performance of our investments in the current real estate environment, the

types and mix of investments in our portfolio and the accounting treatment of our investments in accordance with our accounting policies.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates, including investment impairment.  These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider to be critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have control.  All inter-company transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.  Interests in entities acquired will be evaluated based on applicable GAAP, which includes the requirement to consolidate entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary.  If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entities will be evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which we have control and/or substantive participating rights under the respective ownership agreement.

 

There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which we have made an investment is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.  The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, calculating the percentage of equity being risked compared to the total equity of the entity.  Determining expected future losses involves assumptions of various possibilities of the results of future operations of the entity, assigning a probability to each possibility and using a discount rate to determine the net present value of those future losses.  A change in the judgments, assumptions, and estimates outlined above could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment using the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our financial statements.

 

Real Estate

 

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date, measured at their fair values.  The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the real estate property.  The assets acquired and liabilities assumed may consist of buildings, any assumed debt, identified intangible assets and asset retirement obligations.  Identified intangible assets generally consist of the above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and tenant relationships.  Goodwill is recognized as of the acquisition date and measured as the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.  Likewise, a bargain purchase gain is recognized in current earnings when the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.  Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred.

 

Initial valuations are subject to change until our information is finalized, which is no later than twelve months from the acquisition date.

 

We determine the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that 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) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to (a) the remaining non-cancelable lease term for above-market leases, or (b) the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any fixed rate renewal option for below-market leases.  We record the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the above determined lease term.

 

33



Table of Contents

 

The total value of identified real estate intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant.  The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships is determined by applying a fair value model.  The estimates of fair value of in-place leases include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces, considering current market conditions.  In estimating fair value of in-place leases, we consider items such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period and carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not been in place, including tenant improvements and commissions.  The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also include costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant improvements as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis.

 

We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the term of the respective leases.  The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, 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 tenant relationship intangibles is charged to expense.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize rental income generated from leases on real estate assets on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, including the effect of rent holidays, if any.  Straight-line rental revenue of less than $0.1 million was recognized in rental revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  Straight-line rental revenue of less than $0.1 million was recognized in rental revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

 

We recognize interest income from real estate loans receivable on an accrual basis over the life of the loan using the interest method.  Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs, as well as acquisition premiums or discounts, are amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to interest income.  We will stop accruing interest on loans when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest of the loan.  In the event that we stop accruing interest on a loan, we will generally not recognize subsequent interest income until cash is received or we make the decision to restart interest accrual on the loan.

 

Investment Impairments

 

For real estate we wholly own, we monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable.  When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset.  In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value.  We consider projected future undiscounted cash flows, trends, strategic decisions regarding future development plans, and other factors in our assessment of whether impairment conditions exist.  While we believe our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding factors such as market rents, economic conditions, and occupancy rates could significantly affect these estimates.

 

In addition, we evaluate our investments in real estate loans receivable each reporting date and if it is probable we will not collect all principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the loan, we will record an impairment charge based on these evaluations.  While we believe it is currently probable we will collect all scheduled principal and interest with respect to our real estate loans receivable, current market conditions with respect to credit availability and with respect to real estate market fundamentals create a significant amount of uncertainty.  Given this, any future adverse development in market conditions may cause us to re-evaluate our conclusions, and could result in material impairment charges with respect to our real estate loans receivable.

 

In evaluating our investments for impairment, management may use appraisals and makes estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the properties, the estimated future cash flows of the properties during our ownership, and the projected sales price of each of the properties.  A future change in these estimates and assumptions could result in understating or overstating the book value of our investments, which could be material to our financial statements.

 

We believe the carrying value of our operating real estate and loan investments is currently recoverable.  Accordingly, there were no impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.  However, if market conditions worsen beyond our current expectations, or if changes in our strategy significantly affect any key assumptions used in our fair value calculations, we may need to take charges in future periods for impairments related to our existing investments.  Any such non-cash charges would have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Item 3.                    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

We maintain less than $0.1 million in Euro-denominated accounts at European financial institutions.  Accordingly, we are not materially exposed to any significant foreign currency fluctuations related to these accounts.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and make loans and other permitted investments.  Our management’s objectives, with regard to interest rate risks, are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs.  To achieve these objectives, 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.  With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.  We may enter into derivative financial instruments such as options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps, or floors to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate portion of our variable rate debt.  Of our $48.2 million in notes payable at June 30, 2010, $38.5 million represented debt subject to variable interest rates.  If our variable interest rates increased 100 basis points, we estimate that total annual interest cost, including interest expensed, and interest capitalized, would increase by $0.2 million.

 

Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate real estate loan receivable, the PAL Loan, unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated.  However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instrument.  As we expect to hold the PAL Loan to maturity and the amounts due under the loan would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates would have a significant impact on the cash flows of our fixed rate real estate loan receivable.

 

The PAL Loan, a fixed rate real estate loan receivable, with $24.4 million outstanding under the loan as of June 30, 2010, has a maturity date of September 1, 2016 and accrues interest at 18% per annum.  The PAL Loan is subject to market risk to the extent that the stated interest rate varies from current market rates for loans made under similar terms.

 

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of June 30, 2010, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of June 30, 2010, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

 

On January 4, 2008, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-140887), covering a public offering of up to 125,000,000 shares of common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. The Offering commenced on January 21, 2008 and is ongoing.  We expect to offer the shares registered in our public offering over a three-year period.  Under rules promulgated by the SEC, in some circumstances we may continue the offering beyond this date.  Our board of directors has the discretion to extend the offering period for the shares offered under the DRP up to the sixth anniversary of the termination of the primary offering.

 

We are offering a maximum of 100,000,000 shares in our primary offering at an aggregate offering price of up to $1 billion, or $10.00 per share with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers.  The 25,000,000 shares offered under the DRP are being offered at an aggregate offering price of $237.5 million, or $9.50 per share.  We may reallocate the shares of common stock being offered between the primary offering and the DRP.  Behringer Securities LP, an affiliate of our advisor, is the dealer manager of our offering.  As of June 30, 2010, we had sold 19,997,452 shares of our common stock, net of the 22,471 shares issued to Behringer Harvard Holdings, on a best efforts basis pursuant to the Offering for gross offering proceeds of approximately $199.3 million.

 

From the commencement of the Offering through June 30, 2010, we incurred the following expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the registered securities pursuant to the Offering ($ in thousands):

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

During the period covered by this quarterly report, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Share Redemption Program

 

Our board of directors has adopted a share redemption program that permits stockholders to sell their shares back to us after they have held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations of the program.  Our board of directors can amend the provisions of our share redemption program without the approval of our stockholders.  The terms on which we redeem shares may differ between redemptions upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” (as defined in the share redemption program) or confinement to a long-term care facility (collectively referred to herein as

“Exceptional Redemptions”) and all other redemptions (referred to herein as “Ordinary Redemptions”).  The purchase price for shares redeemed under the redemption program is set forth below.

 

In the case of Ordinary Redemptions, the purchase price per share will equal 90% of (i) the most recently disclosed estimated value per share as determined in accordance with our valuation policy, less (ii) the aggregate distributions per share of any net sale proceeds from the sale of one or more of our assets, or other special distributions so designated by our board of directors, distributed to stockholders after the valuation was determined (the “Valuation Adjustment”); provided, however, that the purchase price per share shall not exceed: (1) prior to the first valuation conducted by the board of directors, or a committee thereof (the “Initial Board Valuation”), under the valuation policy, 90% of (i) average price per share the original purchaser or purchasers of shares paid to us for all of his or her shares (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to our common stock) (the “Original Share Price”) less (ii) the aggregate distributions per share of any net sale proceeds from the sale of one or more of our assets, or other special distributions so designated by the board of directors, distributed to stockholders prior to the redemption date (the “Special Distributions”); or (2) on or after the Initial Board Valuation, the Original Share Price less any Special Distributions.

 

In the case of Exceptional Redemptions, the purchase price per share will be equal to: (1) prior to the Initial Board Valuation, the Original Share Price less any Special Distributions; or (2) on or after the Initial Board Valuation, the most recently disclosed valuation less any Valuation Adjustment, provided, however, that the purchase price per share may not exceed the Original Share Price less any Special Distributions.

 

Notwithstanding the redemption prices set forth above, our board of directors may determine, whether pursuant to formulae or processes approved or set by our board of directors, the redemption price of the shares, which may differ between Ordinary Redemptions and Exceptional Redemptions; provided, however, that we must provide at least 30 days’ notice to stockholders before applying this new price determined by our board of directors.

 

Any shares approved for redemption will be redeemed on a periodic basis as determined from time to time by our board of directors, and no less frequently than annually. We will not redeem, during any twelve-month period, more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of redemption. Generally, the cash available for redemption on any particular date will be limited to the proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan during the period consisting of the preceding four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available, less any cash already used for redemptions during the same period, plus, if we had positive operating cash flow during such preceding four fiscal quarters, 1% of all operating cash flow during such preceding four fiscal quarters.  The redemption limitations apply to all redemptions, whether Ordinary or Exceptional Redemptions.
