Note 1 -

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited; however, amounts presented in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 are derived from the audited financial statements of the Company at that date. The unaudited financial statements at June 30, 2005 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information on a basis consistent with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Hartman Commercial Properties REIT (“HCP”) as of June 30, 2005 and results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year. The statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in HCP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Description of business and nature of operations

Hartman Commercial Properties REIT was formed as a real estate investment trust, pursuant to the Texas Real Estate Investment Trust Act on August 20, 1998 to consolidate and expand the real estate investment strategy of Allen R. Hartman (“Hartman”) in acquiring and managing office and retail properties. In July 2004, HCP changed its state of organization from Texas to Maryland pursuant to a merger of HCP directly with and into a Maryland real estate investment trust formed for the sole purpose of the reorganization and the conversion of each outstanding common share of beneficial interest of the Texas entity into 1.42857 common shares of beneficial interest of the Maryland entity (see Note 9). Hartman, HCP’s Chairman of the Board of Trustees, has been engaged in the ownership, acquisition, and management of commercial properties in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area for over 20 years. HCP serves as the general partner of Hartman REIT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or “HROP” or “OP”), which was formed on December 31, 1998 as a Delaware limited partnership. HCP and the Operating Partnership are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” HCP currently conducts substantially all of its operations and activities through the Operating Partnership. As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, HCP has the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of the Operating Partnership, subject to certain customary exceptions. Hartman Management, L.P. (the “Management Company”), a company wholly-owned by Hartman, provides a full range of real estate services for the Company, including leasing and property management, accounting, asset management and investor relations. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, the Company owned and operated 35 and 34 office, office/warehouse and retail properties in and around Houston and San Antonio, Texas.

Basis of consolidation

HCP is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and possesses full legal control and authority over the operations of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, HCP owned a majority of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. Consequently, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated. Minority interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements represents the share of equity and earnings of the Operating Partnership allocable to holders of partnership interests other than the Company. Net income is allocated to minority interests based on the weighted-average percentage ownership of the Operating Partnership during the year. Issuance of additional common shares of beneficial interest in HCP (“common shares”) and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) changes the ownership interests of both the minority interests and HCP.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Basis of accounting

The financial records of the Company are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 consist of demand deposits at commercial banks and money market funds.

Due from affiliates

Due from affiliates include amounts owed to the Company from Hartman operated limited partnerships and other entities.

Escrows and acquisition deposits

Escrow deposits include escrows established pursuant to certain mortgage financing arrangements for real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and capital expenditures and escrow of proceeds of the Public Offering described in Note 9 prior to shares being issued for those proceeds. Acquisition deposits include earnest money deposits on future acquisitions.

Real estate

Real estate properties are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Improvements, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the acquisition, improvement and leasing of real estate are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 39 years for the buildings and improvements. Tenant improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the life of the lease.

Management reviews its properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. Management determines whether an impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the estimated residual value of the property, with the carrying cost of the property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value. Management has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Deferred costs

Deferred costs consist primarily of leasing commissions paid to the Management Company and deferred financing costs. Leasing commissions are amortized on the straight-line method over the terms of the related lease agreements. Deferred financing costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the terms of the loans, which approximates the interest method. Costs allocated to in-place leases whose terms differ from market terms related to acquired properties are amortized over the remaining life of the respective leases.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Offering costs

Offering costs include selling commissions, issuance costs, investor relations fees and unit purchase discounts. These costs were incurred in the raising of capital through the sale of common shares and are treated as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.

Revenue recognition

All leases on properties held by the Company are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Differences between rental income earned and amounts due per the respective lease agreements are capitalized or charged, as applicable, to accrued rent receivable. Percentage rents are recognized as rental income when the thresholds upon which they are based have been met. Recoveries from tenants for taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the corresponding costs are incurred. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible.

Federal income taxes

The Company is qualified as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is therefore not subject to Federal income taxes provided it meets all conditions specified by the Internal Revenue Code for retaining its REIT status. The Company believes it has continuously met these conditions since reaching 100 shareholders in 1999 (see Note 7).

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. Significant estimates used by the Company include the estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets and costs, and the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts and notes payable. The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Investment securities are carried at fair market value or at amounts that approximate fair market value. The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is representative of its carrying value based upon current rates offered for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 (“SFAS 154”), “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Concentration of risk

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are obtained from office, office/warehouse and retail locations in the Houston, Texas and San Antonio, Texas metropolitan areas.

The Company maintains cash accounts in major financial institutions in the United States. The terms of these deposits are on demand to minimize risk. The balances of these accounts occasionally exceed the federally insured limits, although no losses have been incurred in connection with such cash balances.

Comprehensive income

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which establishes standards for reporting and display for comprehensive income and its components. For the periods presented, the Company did not have significant amounts of other comprehensive income.

Note 2 -

Real Estate

During 2004, the Company acquired from an unrelated party one multi-tenant retail center comprising approximately 95,032 square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). The property was acquired for cash in the amount of approximately $8,900,000.

During the first quarter of 2005, the Company acquired from an unrelated party one multi-tenant office building comprising approximately 106,169 square feet of GLA. The property was acquired for cash in the amount of approximately $5,500,000.

The purchase prices the Company paid for the properties were determined by, among other procedures, estimating the amount and timing of expected cash flows from the acquired properties, discounted at market rates. This process in general also results in the assessment of fair value for each property.

The Company allocates the purchase price of real estate to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, generally consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on management’s estimates of their fair values.

Management estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets by valuing the acquired property as if it were vacant. The “as-if-vacant” value (limited to the purchase price) is allocated to land, building, and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets.

Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed-rate renewal periods in the respective leases.

Real Estate (Continued)

The aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired is measured based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, primarily discounted cash flow analysis. Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which generally range from four to 18 months, depending on specific local market conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.

The value of in-place leases, if any, is amortized to expense over the remaining initial term of the respective leases, which, for leases with allocated intangible value, are expected to range generally from five to 10 years. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the remaining initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles are charged to expense.

At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company owned and operated 35 and 34 commercial properties in the Houston, Texas and San Antonio, Texas areas comprising approximately 2,741,000 and 2,635,000 square feet of GLA, respectively.

In December 2002, the Company refinanced substantially all of its mortgage debt with a $34,440,000 three-year floating rate mortgage loan collateralized by 18 of the Company’s properties and having a maturity date of January 1, 2006. The loan bears interest at 2.5% over a LIBOR rate (5.63% and 4.79% at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively) computed on the basis of a 360 day year and has a two-year extension option. Interest only payments are due monthly for the first 30 month period after the origination date, after which the loan may be repaid in full or in $100,000 increments, with a final balloon payment due upon maturity. Loan costs of $1,271,043 were capitalized and financed from the proceeds of the refinancing. The security documents related to the mortgage loan contain a covenant that requires Hartman REIT Operating Partnership II, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to maintain adequate capital in light of its contemplated business operations. This covenant and the other restrictions provided for in the credit facility do not affect Hartman REIT Operating Partnership II, L.P.’s ability to make distributions to the Company.

On June 30, 2003, the Company entered into a $25,000,000 loan agreement with a bank pursuant to which the Company could, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, borrow funds to acquire additional income producing properties. The revolving loan agreement terminated in June, 2005 and provided for interest payments at a rate, adjusted monthly, of either (at the Company’s option) 30-day LIBOR plus 225 basis points, or the bank’s prime rate less 50 basis points, with either rate subject to a floor of 3.75% per annum. The loan was secured by then owned and otherwise unencumbered properties and could also be secured by properties acquired with the proceeds drawn from the facility. The Company was required to make monthly payments of interest only, with the principal and all accrued unpaid interest being due at maturity of the loan. The loan could be prepaid at any time without penalty. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had paid off and closed this credit facility.

Debt (Continued)

In connection with the purchase of the Windsor Park property in December 2003, the Company assumed a note payable in the amount of $6,550,000 secured by the property. The balance at June 30, 2005 was $5,853,217. The note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest of $80,445, with interest at the rate of 8.34% per annum. The balance of the note is payable in full on December 1, 2006.

The Company financed its comprehensive insurance premium with a note in the amount of $338,901 payable in nine equal monthly installments of $37,656, which includes interest at 4.12%. The note is secured by unearned insurance premiums and will be paid in full in November 2005.

On June 2, 2005, the Company finalized a new revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks. The facility became retroactively effective as of March 11, 2005, the date certain documents for the facility were placed into escrow, pending the completion of the transaction. The credit facility is secured by a pledge of the partnership interests in Hartman REIT Operating Partnership III LP (“HROP III”), a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership that was formed to hold title to the properties comprising the borrowing base pool for the facility. Presently there are 16 properties owned by HROP III.

The current limit of the credit facility is $50,000,000 and it may be increased to $100,000,000 as the borrowing base pool expands. The Company entered into this credit facility to refinance the $25,000,000 loan described above, to finance property acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

As of June 30, 2005 the balance outstanding under the facility was $17,175,094 and the availability to draw was $23,578.698.

Outstanding amounts under the credit facility will accrue interest computed on the basis of a 360 day year, at the Company’s option, at either the LIBOR Rate or the Alternative Base Rate, plus the applicable margin as determined from the following table:

Total Leverage Ratio	LIBOR Margin	Alternative Base Rate Margin

Less than 60% but greater than or equal to 50%	2.40%	1.15%
Less than 50% but greater than or equal to 45%	2.15%	1.025%
Less than 45%	1.90%	1.00%

The Alternative Base Rate is a floating rate equal to the higher of the bank’s base rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus .5%. LIBOR Rate loans will be available in one, two, three or six month periods, with a maximum of six contracts at any time. The effective interest rate as of June 30, 2005 was 5.09% per annum.

Interest only is payable monthly under the loan with the total amount of principal due at maturity on March 11, 2008. The loan may be prepaid at any time in part or in whole, provided that the credit facility is not in default. If LIBOR Rate pricing is elected, there is a prepayment penalty based on a “make-whole” calculation for all costs associated with prepaying a LIBOR borrowing.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using net income available to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share would reflect common shares issuable from the assumed conversion of OP units convertible into common shares. However, only those items that have a dilutive impact on basic earnings per share are included in the diluted earnings per share. Accordingly, because conversion of OP units into common shares is antidilutive, no OP units were included in the diluted earnings per share calculations.

Federal Income Taxes

Federal income taxes are not provided because the Company intends to and believes it qualifies as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Shareholders of the Company include their proportionate taxable income in their individual tax returns. As a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income to its shareholders and meet certain income sources and investment restriction requirements. In addition, REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.

Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes principally due to differences in the timing of recognition of interest, real estate taxes, depreciation and rental revenue.

For Federal income tax purposes, the cash dividends distributed to shareholders are characterized as follows for the year ended December 31, 2004:

		2004

Ordinary income (unaudited)		67.7%
Return of capital (unaudited)		32.3%
Capital gain distributions (unaudited)		0.0%

Total		100.0%

The Company expects these fees to be between approximately 2% and 4% of Gross Revenues, as such term is defined in the amended and restated property management agreement, for the management of office buildings and approximately 5% of Gross Revenues for the management of retail and office/industrial properties. Effective September 1, 2004, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with the Management Company which provides that the Company pay the Management Company a fee of one-fourth of .25% of Gross Asset Value, as such term is defined in the advisory agreement, per quarter for asset management services.

Shareholders’ Equity

In July 2004, HCP changed its state of organization from Texas to Maryland pursuant to a merger of HCP directly with and into a Maryland real estate investment trust formed for the sole purpose of the reorganization and the conversion of each outstanding common share of beneficial interest of the Texas entity into 1.42857 common shares of beneficial interest of the Maryland entity. Under its Articles of Amendment and Restatement in effect, HCP has authority to issue 400,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share, and 50,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share. All capital stock amounts, share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the related notes to consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to retroactively reflect this recapitalization.

Prior to June 2004, the Charter and Bylaws of HCP authorized HCP to issue up to 100,000,000 common shares at $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 Preferred Shares at $0.001 par value per share. HCP commenced a private offering (the “Private Offering”) in May 1999 to sell 2,500,000 common shares, par value $.001 per share, at a price of $10 per common share for a total Private Offering of $25,000,000. HCP intended that the Private Offering be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The common shares are “restricted securities” and are not transferable unless they subsequently are registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. The Private Offering was directed solely to “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D. Pursuant to the Private Offering, HCP sold for cash or issued in exchange for property or OP Units, 4,907,107 (7,010,146 after the reorganization) shares as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. HCP conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership. All net proceeds of the Private Offering were contributed by HCP to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units. The Operating Partnership used the proceeds to acquire additional commercial properties and for general working capital purposes. HCP received one OP Unit for each $10 contributed to the Operating Partnership. OP Units were valued at $10 per unit because they are convertible on a one-for-one basis to common shares, which were being sold in the Private Offering for $10 per common share.

The Registration Statement also covers up to 1,000,000 shares available pursuant to HCP’s dividend reinvestment plan to be offered at a price of $9.50 per share. The shares are offered to investors on a best efforts basis.

As of December 31, 2004, no shares had been issued pursuant to the Public Offering.

As of December 31, 2004, HCP had received and accepted subscriptions for 147,432 shares for gross offering proceeds of $1,474,320. The initial 200,000 shares have now been sold, and additional subscription proceeds are being held in escrow until investors are admitted as shareholders. HCP intends to admit new stockholders at least monthly. At that time, subscription proceeds may be released to HCP from escrow and applied to the making of investments and the payment or reimbursement of the dealer manager fee, selling commissions and other organization and offering expenses. Until required for such purposes, net offering proceeds will be held in short-term, liquid investments.

As of June 30, 2005, 782,957 shares had been issued pursuant to the Public Offering with gross offering proceeds received of $7,825,029.

In connection with the reorganization discussed above, OP Unit holders received 1.42857 OP Units for each OP Unit previously held. Subject to certain restrictions, OP Units are not convertible into common shares until the later of one year after acquisition or an initial public offering of the common shares.

Segment Information

The operating segments presented are the segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available, and operating performance is evaluated regularly by senior management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company evaluated the performance of its operating segments based on net operating income that is defined as total revenues less operating expenses and ad valorem taxes. Management does not consider gains or losses from the sale of property in evaluating ongoing operating performance.

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

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included in this report. For more detailed information regarding the basis of presentation for the following information, you should read the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements included in this quarterly report that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto), including, without limitation, the information set forth in this “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including “forecast,”“may,”“believe,”“will,”“expect,”“anticipate,”“estimate,”“continue” or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. We and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements that are also forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current plans, expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. While we believe that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, we caution that there are inherent difficulties in anticipating or predicting certain important factors. Such factors are discussed in our other filings, including but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We disclaim any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We own 35 commercial properties, consisting of 19 retail centers, 12 office/warehouse properties and four office buildings. All of our properties are located in the Houston, Texas and San Antonio, Texas metropolitan areas. As of June 30, 2005, we had 674 total tenants. No individual lease or tenant is material to our business. Revenues from our largest lease constituted 2.33% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Leases for our properties range from one year for our smaller spaces to over ten years for larger tenants. Our leases generally include minimum monthly lease payments and tenant reimbursements for payment of taxes, insurance and maintenance.

We have no employees and we do not manage our properties. Our properties and day-to-day operations are managed by the Management Company under a management agreement.

Under the management agreement in effect after September 1, 2004, we pay the Management Company the following amounts:

property management fees in an amount not to exceed the fees customarily charged in arm’s length transactions by others rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar properties as determined by a survey of brokers and agents in such area. Generally, we expect these fees to be between approximately two and four percent (2.0%-4.0%) of gross revenues for the management of commercial office buildings and approximately five percent (5.0%) of gross revenues for the management of retail and industrial properties.

for the leasing of the properties, a separate fee for the leases of new tenants and renewals of leases with existing tenants in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily charged in arm’s length transactions by others rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar properties as determined by a survey of brokers and agents in such area (with such fees, at present, being equal to 6% of the effective gross revenues from leases originated by the Management Company and 4% of the effective gross revenues from expansions or renewals of existing leases).

Table of Contents

except as otherwise specifically provided, all costs and expenses incurred by the Management Company in fulfilling its duties for the account of and on behalf of us. Such costs and expenses shall include the wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of all on-site and off-site employees of the Management Company who are engaged in the operation, management, maintenance and access control of our properties, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating to such employees, and legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the management of specific properties.

Our management agreement in effect after September 1, 2004 defines gross revenues as all amounts actually collected as rents or other charges for the use and occupancy of our properties, but excludes interest and other investment income and proceeds received for a sale, exchange, condemnation, eminent domain taking, casualty or other disposition of assets.

Under an advisory agreement effective September 1, 2004, we also pay the Management Company for asset management services a quarterly fee in an amount equal to one-fourth of 0.25% of the gross asset value calculated on the last day of each preceding quarter.

Gross asset value is defined as the amount equal to the aggregate book value of our assets (other than investments in bank accounts, money market funds or other current assets), before depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and without reduction for any debt relating to such assets, at the date of measurement, except that during such periods in which we are obtaining regular independent valuations of the current value of our net assets for purposes of enabling fiduciaries of employee benefit plans to comply with applicable Department of Labor reporting requirements, gross asset value is the greater of (i) the amount determined pursuant to the foregoing or (ii) our assets’ aggregate valuation established by the most recent such valuation report without reduction for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and without reduction for any debt relating to such assets.

Under the agreement in effect prior to September 1, 2004, we paid the Management Company the following amounts:

§	a management fee of 5% of our effective gross revenues to manage our properties;

§	a leasing fee of 6% of the effective gross revenues from leases originated by the Management Company and a fee of 4% of the effective gross revenues from expansions or renewals of existing leases;

§	an administrative fee of 1% of our effective gross revenues for day-to-day supervisory and general administration services; and

the reimbursement of all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred or funds advanced in connection with the management and operation of our properties, including expenses and costs relating to maintenance and construction personnel incurred on behalf of our properties; provided, however, that we did not reimburse the Management Company for its overhead, including salaries and expenses of centralized employees other than salaries of certain maintenance and construction personnel.

Our management agreement in effect prior to September 1, 2004 defines effective gross revenues as all payments actually collected from tenants and occupants of our properties, exclusive of:

§	security payments and deposits (unless and until such deposits have been applied to the payment of current or past due rent); and

§	payments received from tenants in reimbursement of the expense of repairing damage caused by tenants.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements. We prepared these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements required us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our results may differ from these estimates. Currently, we believe that our accounting policies do not require us to make estimates using assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain. You should read Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our financial statements in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We have described below the critical accounting policies that we believe could impact our consolidated financial statements most significantly.

Basis of Consolidation. We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and possess full legal control and authority over its operations. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we owned a majority of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. Consequently, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated. Minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements represents the share of equity and earnings of the Operating Partnership allocable to holders of partnership interests other than us. Net income is allocated to minority interests based on the weighted-average percentage ownership of the Operating Partnership during the year. Issuance of additional common shares and OP Units changes our ownership interests as well as those of minority interests.

Real Estate. We record real estate properties at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. We capitalize improvements, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the acquisition, improvement and leasing of real estate. We charge expenditures for repairs and maintenance to operations as they are incurred. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 39 years of our buildings and improvements. We depreciate tenant improvements using the straight-line method over the life of the lease.

We review our properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through our operations. We determine whether an impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the estimated residual value of the property, with the carrying cost of the property. If impairment is indicated, we record a loss for the amount by which the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of our real estate assets as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Purchase Price Allocation. We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for purchased properties based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. We amortize the capitalized above-market lease values as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. We amortize the capitalized below-market lease values as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed-rate renewal periods in the respective leases. Because most of our leases are relatively short term, have inflation or other scheduled rent escalations, and cover periods during which there have been few, and generally insignificant, pricing changes in the specific properties’ markets, the properties we have acquired have not been subject to leases with terms materially different than then-existing market-level terms.

We measure the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. Our management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, primarily discounted cash flow analysis. Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management will also include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which we expect to

Table of Contents

primarily range from four to 18 months, depending on specific local market conditions. Our management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values based on our management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by our management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.

We amortize the value of in-place leases, if any, to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases, which, for leases with allocated intangible value, we expect to range generally from five to 10 years. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles are charged to expense.

Revenue Recognition. All leases on properties we hold are classified as operating leases, and we recognize the related rental income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. We capitalize or charge to accrued rent receivable, as applicable, differences between rental income earned and amounts due per the respective lease agreements. Percentage rents are recognized as rental income when the thresholds upon which they are based have been met. Recoveries from tenants for taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the corresponding costs are incurred. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable which we estimate to be uncollectible.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. During the year ended December 31, 2004 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, our properties generated sufficient cash flow to cover our operating expenses and to allow us to pay quarterly dividends, which are paid in three monthly installments after the end of each quarter. We generally lease our properties on a triple-net basis or on bases which provide for tenants to pay for increases in operating expenses over a base year or set amount, which means that tenants are required to pay for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities, or increases thereof, applicable to their space. We anticipate that cash flows from operating activities and our borrowing capacity will continue to provide adequate capital for our working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures and scheduled debt payments during the next 12 months. We also believe that cash flows from operating activities and our borrowing capacity will allow us to make all distributions required for us to continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT. We also believe that our properties are adequately covered by insurance.

Public Offering. As reflected in Note 9 to the financial statements, on September 15, 2004, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 with respect to our ongoing, best efforts public offering of up to 10,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest at a price of $10 per share was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. The Registration Statement also covers up to 1,000,000 shares available pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan to be offered at a price of $9.50 per share. A post-effective amendment of the Registration Statement was declared effective on June 27, 2005. The shares are offered to investors on a best efforts basis. As of June 30, 2005, 782,957 shares had been issued pursuant to the Public Offering with gross offering proceeds received of $7,825,029. For a more detailed discussion of the results of the Public Offering through June 30, 2005 and our application of the offering proceeds through such date, see Part II, Item 2 of this report.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We had cash and cash equivalents of $1,020,174 on June 30, 2005 as compared to $631,978 on December 31, 2004. The increase was principally due to the temporary investment of proceeds from sales of common shares pursuant to the Public Offering prior to utilizing such proceeds for either buying properties, improving properties, reducing debt or supplying working capital. We generally do not maintain large cash balances, but rather utilize cash on hand for one of the foregoing purposes or for making distributions to shareholders. We place all cash in short-term, highly liquid investments that we believe provide appropriate safety of principal.

Credit Facilities. In December 2002, we refinanced most of our debt with a new credit facility from GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation. The loan is secured by, among other things, 18 of our properties, which are held by Hartman REIT Operating Partnership II, L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary formed for the purpose of this credit facility, and the improvements, personal property and fixtures on the properties, all reserves, escrows and

Table of Contents

deposit accounts held by Hartman REIT Operating Partnership II, L.P., all intangible assets specific to or used in connection with the properties, and an assignment of rents related to such properties. We believe the fair market value of these properties was approximately $62,000,000 at the time the loan was put in place. We may prepay the loan after July 1, 2005 without penalty. As of June 30, 2005, the outstanding principal balance under this facility was $34,440,000.

We are required to make monthly interest payments under this credit facility. During the initial term of the note, indebtedness under the credit facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% computed on the basis of a 360 day year, adjusted monthly. The interest rate was 5.63% as of June 30, 2005. We are not required to make any principal payments prior to the loan’s maturity. The credit facility will mature on January 1, 2006, though we have the option, subject to certain conditions, of extending the facility for an additional two-year period. In no event shall the interest rate be lower than 3.82% during the initial term or lower than 4.32% during the extension term.

In addition, Hartman REIT Operating Partnership II, L.P. entered into certain covenants pursuant to the credit facility which, among other things, require it to maintain specified levels of insurance and use the properties securing the note only for retail, light industrial, office, warehouse and commercial office uses. The facility also limits, without the approval of the lender, this wholly-owned subsidiary’s ability to:

·	acquire additional material assets;

·	merge or consolidate with any other entity;

·	engage in any other business or activity other than the ownership, operation and maintenance of the properties securing the note;

·	make certain investments;

·	incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness;

·	grant certain liens; and

·	loan money to others.

The security documents related to the note contain a covenant that requires Hartman REIT Operating Partnership II, L.P. to maintain adequate capital in light of its contemplated business operations. We believe that this covenant and the other restrictions provided for in our credit facility will not affect or limit Hartman REIT Operating Partnership II, L.P.’s ability to make distributions to us. The note and the security documents related thereto also contain customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, bankruptcy-related defaults and breach of covenant defaults. These covenants only apply to Hartman REIT Operating Partnership II, L.P. and do not impact the other operations of the Operating Partnership, including the operation of our other properties that do not secure this debt.

On June 30, 2003, the Operating Partnership entered into a $25,000,000 loan agreement with Union Planter’s Bank, N.A. pursuant to which the Operating Partnership may, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, borrow funds to acquire additional income producing properties. The revolving loan agreement matured in June, 2005 and provided for interest-only payments at a rate, adjusted monthly, of either (at the Operating Partnership’s option) 30-day LIBOR plus 225 basis points, or Union Planter’s Bank, N.A.’s prime rate less 50 basis points, with either rate subject to a floor of 3.75% per annum. The loan was secured by certain properties directly owned by the Operating Partnership and all improvements, equipment, fixtures, building materials, consumer goods, furnishings, inventory and articles of personal property related thereto, together with all water rights, timber crops and mineral interests pertaining to the properties, all deposits, bank accounts, instruments arising by virtue of transactions related to the acquired properties, all proceeds from insurance, takings or litigation arising out of the properties and all leases, rents, royalties and profits or other benefits of the properties. As of June 30, 2005, the facility had been totally paid off and terminated.

In connection with the purchase of the Windsor Park property in December 2003, we assumed a note payable in the amount of $6,550,000 secured by the property. The balance at June 30, 2005 was $5,853,217. The note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest of $80,445, with interest at the rate of 8.34% per annum. The balance of the note is payable in full on December 1, 2006.

Table of Contents

On June 2, 2005, the Operating Partnership finalized a new revolving line of credit facility with a consortium of banks led by KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”). The credit facility became retroactively effective as of March 11, 2005, the date certain documents for the facility were placed into escrow, pending the completion of the transaction. The credit facility is secured by a pledge of the partnership interests in Hartman REIT Operating Partnership III LP (“HROP III”), a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership that was formed to hold title to the properties comprising the borrowing base pool for the credit facility. Presently there are 16 properties owned by HROP III.

The current limit of the credit facility is $50,000,000 and it may be increased to $100,000,000 as the borrowing base pool expands. The purpose of the credit facility was to refinance the Operating Partnership’s previous loan with Regions Bank (formerly Union Planter’s Bank, N.A.), to finance property acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. Simultaneously with the finalization of the new credit facility, the Operating Partnership drew $18,975,094, of which $18,650,000 was used to pay off the principal balance owing under the Regions Bank loan. Based upon the required ratios explained below, the remaining availability under the facility as of June 30, 2005 was $23,578,698.

Outstanding amounts under the facility will accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at either the LIBOR Rate or the Alternative Base Rate, plus the applicable margin as determined from the following grid:

Total Leverage Ratio	LIBOR Margin	Alternative Base Rate Margin

Less than 60% but greater than or equal to 50%	2.40%	1.150%
Less than 50% but greater than or equal to 45%	2.15%	1.025%
Less than 45%	1.90%	1.000%

The Alternative Base Rate equals a floating rate equal to the higher of KeyBank’s Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate plus .5%. Interest will be due monthly in arrears, computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. LIBOR Rate loans will be available in one, two, three or six month periods, with a maximum of six contracts at any time. In the event of default, interest will be calculated as above plus 2%. The effective interest rate as of June 30, 2005 was 5.09% per annum.

Interest only is payable monthly under the loan with the total amount of principal due at maturity on March 11, 2008. The loan may be prepaid at any time in part or in whole, provided that the facility is not in default. If LIBOR Rate pricing is elected, there is a prepayment penalty based on a “make-whole” calculation for all costs associated with prepaying a LIBOR borrowing.

The revolving line of credit will be supported by a pool of eligible properties referred to as the borrowing base pool. The borrowing base pool must meet the following criteria:

·	The Company will provide a negative pledge on the borrowing base pool and may not provide a negative pledge of the borrowing base pool to any other lender.

·	The properties must be free of all liens, unless otherwise permitted.

·	All eligible properties must be retail, office/warehouse, or office properties, must be free and clear of material environmental concerns and must be in good repair.

·	The aggregate physical occupancy of the borrowing base pool must remain above 80% at all times.

·	No property may comprise more than 15% of the value of the borrowing base pool with the exception of Corporate Park Northwest, which is allowed into the borrowing base pool.

·	The borrowing base pool must at all times be comprised of at least 10 properties.

·	The borrowing base pool properties may not contain development or redevelopment projects.

Table of Contents

Properties can be added to and removed from the borrowing base pool at any time provided no defaults would occur as a result of the removal. If a property does not meet the criteria of an eligible property and the Company wants to include it in the borrowing base pool, a majority vote of the bank consortium is required for inclusion in the borrowing base pool.

Covenants, tested quarterly, relative to the borrowing base pool are as follows:

·	The Company will not permit any liens on the properties in the borrowing base pool unless otherwise permitted.

The ratio of aggregate net operating income from the borrowing base pool to debt service shall at all times exceed 1.5 to 1.0. For any quarter, debt service shall be equal to the average loan balance for the past quarter times an interest rate which is the greater of a) the then current annual yield on 10 year United States Treasury notes over 25 years plus 2%, b) a 6.5% constant, or c) the actual interest rate for the facility.

The ratio of the value of the borrowing base pool to total funded loan balance must always exceed 1.67 to 1.00. The value of the borrowing base pool is defined as aggregate net operating income for the preceding four quarters, less a $.15 per square foot per annum capital expenditure reserve, divided by a 9.25% capitalization rate.

Covenants, tested quarterly, relative to the Company are as follows:

The Company will not permit its total indebtedness to exceed 60% of the fair market value of its real estate assets at the end of any quarter. Total indebtedness is defined as all liabilities of the Company, including this facility and all other secured and unsecured debt of the Company, including letters of credit and guarantees. Fair market value of real estate assets is defined as aggregate net operating income for the preceding four quarters, less a $.15 per square foot per annum capital expenditure reserve, divided by a 9.25% capitalization rate.

·	The ratio of consolidated rolling four-quarter earnings before interest, income tax, deprecation and amortization expenses for such quarter to total interest expense, including capitalized interest, shall not be less than 2.0 to 1.0.

The ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, income tax, deprecation and amortization expenses for such quarter to total interest, including capitalized interest, principal amortization, capital expenditures and preferred stock dividends shall not be less than 1.5 to 1.0. Capital expenditures shall be deemed to be $.15 per square foot per annum.

·	The ratio of secured debt to fair market value of real estate assets shall not be greater than 40%.

·	The ratio of declared dividends to funds from operations shall not be greater than 95%.

·	The ratio of development assets to fair market value of real estate assets shall not be greater than 20%.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2004

General.

The following table provides a general comparison of our results of operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005:

	June 30, 2004	June 30, 2005
Number of properties owned and operated	33	35
Aggregate gross leasable area (sq. ft.)	2,540,031	2,741,232
Occupancy rate	87%	87%
Total revenues	$ 6,095,742	$ 6,270,409
Total operating expenses	$ 4,303,615	$ 4,930,540
Income before minority interests	$ 1,792,127	$ 1,339,869
Minority interests in the Operating Partnership	($ 835,606)	($ 593,383)
Net income	$ 956,521	$ 746,486

Revenues.

We had rental income, tenant reimbursements and other income of $6,270,409 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to revenues of $6,095,742 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $174,667, or 3%. Substantially all of our revenues are derived from rents received from the use of our properties. The increase in our revenues during the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004 was due primarily to revenue from an additional property we acquired in March 2005. Our occupancy rate at June 30, 2005 was 87%, as compared to 87% at June 30, 2004 and our average annualized revenue was $9.15 per square foot in the second quarter of 2005, as compared to an average annualized revenue of $9.60 per square foot in the second quarter of 2004. During the second quarter 2005 there were two significant lease transactions that caused an increase in leasing commissions compared with the same period in 2004. The increase in revenues due to these transactions will be fully realized beginning with the third quarter of 2005, the first full quarter of lease term for the larger lease.

We had interest and other income of $41,010 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $166,402 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $125,392, or 75%. We hold all revenues and proceeds we receive from offerings and loans in money market accounts and other short-term, highly liquid investments. The decrease in interest and other income during the second quarter of 2005 as compared to 2004 resulted primarily from decreases in non-rent income such as late fees and deposit forfeitures.

Expenses.

Our total operating expenses, including interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense, were $4,930,540 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $4,303,615 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $626,925, or 15%. We expect that the dollar amount of operating expenses will increase as we acquire additional properties and expand our operations. However, we expect that general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues will decline as we acquire additional properties. General and administrative expenses were approximately 5% of total revenues for the second quarter of 2005 and the second quarter of 2004.

The increase in our operating expenses during the second quarter of 2005 was a result of increased interest expense, real estate taxes ($169,005), depreciation and amortization expense ($164,269), and increases in other expenses that were offset by a reduction in bad debt expense ($177,825).

Our interest expense increased by $330,442, or 57%, in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004. Our average outstanding debt increased from $51,178,302 in the second quarter of 2004 to $58,729,898 in the second quarter of 2005, and the average interest rate associated with this debt increased from 4.51% in the second quarter of 2004 to 5.94% in the second quarter of 2005.

Net Income.

Income provided by operating activities before minority interests was $1,339,869 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $1,792,127 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $452,258, or 25%. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $746,486, as compared to $956,521 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $210,035, or 22%. The decreases are a net result of the changes discussed above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months June 30, 2004

General.

The following table provides a general comparison of our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005:

	June 30, 2004	June 30, 2005
Number of properties owned and operated	33	35
Aggregate gross leasable area (sq. ft.)	2,540,031	2,741,232
Occupancy rate	87%	87%
Total revenues	$ 11,582,168	$ 12,583,049
Total operating expenses	$ 8,405,234	$ 9,721,499
Income before minority interests	$ 3,176,934	$ 2,861,550
Minority interests in the Operating Partnership	($ 1,481,295)	($ 1,290,620)
Net income	$ 1,695,639	$ 1,570,930

Revenues.

We had rental income and tenant reimbursements of $12,583,049 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to revenues of $11,582,168 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1,000,881, or 9%. Substantially all of our revenues are derived from rents received from the use of our properties. The increase in our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 was due to revenue from an additional property we acquired in March 2005 and an increase in the amount of rent charged at some locations. Our occupancy rate at June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 was 87%, and our average annualized revenue was $9.35 per square foot for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to an average annualized revenue of $9.12 per square foot for the six months ended June 30, 2004. During the second quarter 2005 there were two significant lease transactions that caused an increase in leasing commissions compared with the same period in 2004. The increase in revenues due to these transactions will be fully realized beginning with the third quarter of 2005, the first full quarter of lease term for the larger lease.

We had interest and other income of $216,519 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $303,277 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $86,758, or 29%. We hold all revenues and proceeds we receive from offerings in money market accounts and other short-term, highly liquid investments. The decrease in interest and other income during the second quarter of 2005 as compared to 2004 resulted primarily from decreases in non-rent income such as late fees and deposit forfeitures.

Expenses.

Our total operating expenses, including interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense, were $9,721,499 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $8,405,234 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1,316,265, or 16%. We expect that the dollar amount of operating expenses will increase as we acquire additional properties and expand our operations. However, we expect that general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues will decline as we acquire additional properties. General and administrative expenses were approximately 5% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to approximately 6% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

The increase in our operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2005 was a result of increased maintenance ($109,325), interest expense, real estate taxes ($227,317) and depreciation and amortization expenses ($296,555).

Table of Contents

Our interest expense increased by $531,952, or 46%, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. Our average outstanding debt increased from $52,707,385 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $58,323,328 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the average interest rate associated with this debt increased from 4.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to 5.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Net Income.

Income before minority interests was $2,861,550 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $3,176,934 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $315,384, or 10%. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $1,570,930, as compared to $1,695,639 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $124,709, or 7%. The decreases are a net result of the changes discussed above.

Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1999. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify to be taxed as a REIT, and we intend to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Inflation

We anticipate that our leases will continue to be triple-net leases or otherwise provide that tenants pay for increases in operating expenses and will contain provisions that we believe will mitigate the effect of inflation. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than five years, which allows us to adjust rental rates to reflect inflation and other changing market conditions when the leases expire. Consequently, increases due to inflation, as well as ad valorem tax rate increases, generally do not have a significant adverse effect upon our operating results.

Environmental Matters

Our properties are subject to environmental laws and regulations adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which our operations are conducted. From our inception, we have incurred no significant environmental costs, accrued liabilities or expenditures to mitigate or eliminate future environmental contamination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The principal market risk to which we are exposed is the risk related to interest rate fluctuations. We will be exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our credit facilities that have floating interest rates. As of June 30, 2005, we had $51,615,094 of indebtedness outstanding under these facilities. The impact of a 1% increase in interest rates on our debt would result in an increase in interest expense and a decrease in income before minority interests of approximately $516,151 annually.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. 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, 2005. No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to certain legal proceedings claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although we cannot predict the outcomes of these legal proceedings, we do not believe these actions, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 (SEC File No. 333-111674) was declared effective by the SEC on September 15, 2004 with respect to the ongoing Public Offering described in Note 9 to the Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Report, of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the public at a price of $10 per share, plus up to 1,000,000 shares available for sale pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, to be offered at a price of $9.50 per share, and the Company commenced the Public Offering on such date. A post-effective amendment of the Registration Statement was declared effective on June 27, 2005.

The 10,000,000 shares offered to the public in the Public Offering are being offered to investors on a best efforts basis, which means that the broker-dealers participating in the offering are only required to use their best efforts to sell the shares and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares.
