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 March 31, 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 March
31, 2005 and results of operations and cash flows for the three month period
ended March 31, 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 Form 10-K annual report.
Description
of business and nature of operations
Hartman
Commercial Properties REIT (“HCP”) 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 March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, the Company owned
and operated 35 and 34 office 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
March 31, 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 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 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 March 31, 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. 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 March 31, 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 which
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.

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. |

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
March 31, 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
gross leasable area, respectively. |

Investment
in Real Estate Partnership |
During
January 2004, the Company contributed approximately $9,000,000 to Hartman Gulf
Plaza Acquisitions LP, a Texas limited partnership, in which it is a limited
partner with a 73.11% percentage interest. On January 30, 2004, the partnership
purchased Gulf Plaza, a 120,651 square foot office building located in Houston,
Texas. The purpose of the partnership is to acquire and sell tenant-in-common
interests in the building.
The
Company’s equity in income of the partnership of $12,038 and $95,943 for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, is included in other
income on the consolidated statement of income. The Company’s remaining
investment in the partnership of $12,038 as of March 31, 2005 is included in
other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The partnership owns a
one-percent tenant-in-common interest in the building.

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
(5.22% and 4.79% at March 31, 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 which 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 may, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, borrow funds to acquire additional income producing properties. The
revolving loan agreement terminates in June, 2005 and provides 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 effective interest rate
as of March 31, 2005 was 5.11% per annum. The loan is secured by currently
owned and otherwise unencumbered properties and may also be secured by
properties acquired with the proceeds drawn from the facility. As of March 31,
2005, the Company had borrowed $19,350,000 under this credit facility. The
Company is 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 may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

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 reflects common shares issuable from the
assumed conversion of OP units convertible into common shares. 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. |

Related-Party
Transactions |
In
January 1999, the Company entered into a property management agreement with the
Management Company. Effective September 1, 2004, this agreement was amended and
restated. Prior to September 1, 2004, in consideration for supervising the
management and performing various day-to-day affairs, the Company paid the
Management Company a management fee of 5% and a partnership management fee of 1%
based on Effective Gross Revenues from the properties, as defined. After
September 1, 2004, the Company pays the Management Company 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, as determined
by a survey of brokers and agents in such area. 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
commercial office buildings and approximately 5% of Gross Revenues for the
management of retail and 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. The Company incurred total
management, partnership and asset management fees of $359,003 and $324,138 for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Such fees in the
amounts of $168,631 and $54,331 were payable to the Management Company at March
31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
During
July 2004, the Company amended certain terms of its Declaration of Trust. Under
the amended terms, the Management Company may be required to reimburse the
Company for operating expenses exceeding certain limitations determined at the
end of each fiscal quarter. Reimbursements, if any, from the
Management Company are
recorded on a quarterly basis as a reduction in management fees.

$19,009 and $188,772, respectively, were payable to the Management Company
related to these reimbursable costs.
In
consideration of leasing the properties, the Company also pays the Management
Company leasing commissions for leases originated by the Management Company and
for expansions and renewals of existing leases. The Company incurred total
leasing commissions to the Management Company of $266,588 and $174,213 for the

relating to leasing commissions.
The
aggregate fees and reimbursements payable to the Management Company under the
new agreements effective September 1, 2004 were not significantly different from
those that would have been payable under the previous agreement.
In
connection with the Public Offering described in Note 9, the Company reimburses
the Management Company up to 2.5% of the gross selling price of all common
shares sold for organization and offering expenses (excluding selling
commissions and a dealer manager fee) incurred by the Management Company on
behalf of the Company. The Company incurred total reimbursable organization and
offering expenses to the Management Company of $136,620 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, $28,442 and $-0-,
respectively, were payable to the Management Company relating to reimbursable
organization and offering expenses.
Also in
connection with the Public Offering described in Note 9, the Management Company
receives an acquisition fee equal to 2% of the gross selling price of all common
shares sold for services in connection with the selection, purchase, development
or construction of properties for the Company. The Company will capitalize this
acquisition fee and allocate it to the purchase price of properties acquired
with offering proceeds. The Company incurred total acquisition fees to the
Management Company of $109,296 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. At
March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, $22,754 and $-0-, respectively, were

The
Management Company paid $26,856 and $26,256 to the Company for office space
during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Such
amounts are included in rental income in the consolidated statements of

In
conjunction with the acquisition of certain properties, the Company assumed
liabilities payable to the Management Company. At March 31, 2005 and December

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 March 31,
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.

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

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.
The
retail segment is engaged in the acquisition, development and management of real
estate, primarily anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers located
in the Houston, Texas and San Antonio, Texas metropolitan areas. The customer
base includes supermarkets and other retailers who generally sell basic
necessity-type commodities. The office/warehouse segment is engaged in the
acquisition, development and management of office and warehouse centers located
in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area and has a diverse customer base. The
office segment is engaged in the acquisition, development and management of
commercial office space. Included in “Other” are corporate related items,
insignificant operations and costs that are not allocated to the reportable
segments.
Information
concerning the Company’s reportable segments for the three months ended March 31

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 March 31, 2005,
we had 675 total tenants. No individual lease or tenant is material to our
business. Revenues from our largest lease constituted 2.11% of our total
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 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
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,
as under the prior agreement). |
§ |
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 leasing or 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 will 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. |
The
aggregate fees and reimbursements payable to the Management Company under the
new agreements effective September 1, 2004 were not significantly different from
those that would have been payable under the former agreement.
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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2005
and December 31, 2004.
Purchase
Price Allocation. We record
above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned 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 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 three-month period ended March 31,
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.
The shares are offered to investors on a best efforts basis. As of March 31,
2005 433,274 shares had been issued pursuant to the Public Offering with gross
offering proceeds received of $4,332,459. For a more detailed discussion of the
results of the Public Offering through the end of the first quarter 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 $1,397,755 on March 31, 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 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. We must pay a prepayment fee
equal to one percent of the outstanding principal balance under the facility if
we prepay the note prior to July 1, 2005. As of March 31, 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 5.22% as of March 31, 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 which 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 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 17
properties which 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 terminates
in June, 2005 and provides for interest 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 is secured by
unencumbered properties currently directly owned by the Operating Partnership as
well as those to be acquired with the proceeds drawn from the facility 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 acquired properties, all deposits, bank accounts, instruments arising in
virtue of transactions related to the acquired properties, all proceeds from
insurance, takings or litigation arising out of the acquired properties and all
leases, rents, royalties and profits or other benefits of the acquired
properties. As of March 31, 2005, the outstanding balance under this facility
was $19,350,000. After the end of the quarter, we made additional principal
payments on this debt of $700,000 funded by proceeds from our ongoing Public
Offering, leaving an outstanding balance as of May 5, 2005 of $18,650,000. We
are required to make monthly payments of interest only, with the principal and
all accrued unpaid interest being due at maturity of the loan on June 30, 2005.
The loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty. We presently expect to
refinance the remaining balance due on or before the maturity of this
facility.
In
addition, the Operating Partnership entered into certain covenants pursuant to
the loan agreement which, among other things, require it to maintain specified
levels of insurance. The facility also limits, among other things, the Operating
Partnership’s ability to, without the approval of the lender:
· |
declare
or pay any distribution during the continuance of a default or event of
default; |
· |
acquire,
consolidate with or merge into any other
entity; |
· |
permit
a material change in the management group; |
· |
engage
in any other business or activity other than the ownership, operation and
maintenance of the properties securing the
note; |
· |
change
the general character of its business; |
· |
materially
change accounting practices, methods or
standards; |
· |
sell,
lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of a material part of its
assets other than in the ordinary course of
business; |
· |
form
any new subsidiary or acquire all of the assets of a third
party; |
· |
permit
its net worth to be less than $70,000,000; |
· |
permit
the combined occupancy of the properties securing the loan to be less than
86%; |
· |
make
certain investments; |
· |
incur,
assume, guarantee or alter the terms of certain additional
indebtedness; |
· |
grant

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 March 31, 2005 was $5,970,874. 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.
Capital
Expenditures. We
currently do not expect to make significant capital expenditures or any
significant improvements to any of our currently owned properties during the
next 12 months. However, we may have unexpected capital expenditures or
improvements on our existing assets. Additionally, we intend to continue our
ongoing acquisition strategy of acquiring properties (generally in the
$1,000,000 to $10,000,000 value range) in the Houston and San Antonio, Texas
metropolitan areas, where we believe opportunities exist for acceptable
investment returns, and we may incur significant capital expenditures or make
significant improvements in connection with any properties we may
acquire.

Revenues.
We had
rental income, tenant reimbursements and other income of $6,312,640 for the
three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to revenues of $5,486,426 for the
three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $826,214, or 15%.
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from rents received from the use
of our properties. The increase in our revenues during the first quarter of 2005
as compared to the first quarter of 2004 was due primarily to two factors. The
tenant reimbursements component of revenues was $1,359,938 for the three
months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $917,700 for the three months ended
March 31, 2004, an increase of $442,238. The increase was due primarily to an
adjustment made in the first quarter of 2005 to an estimate of accrued tenant
reimbursements. A similar adjustment to accrued tenant reimbursements was
reflected in the second quarter of 2004 rather than the first quarter. The other
factor was revenue from an additional property we acquired in 2004. Our
occupancy rate at March 31, 2005 was 86%, as compared to 87% at March 31, 2004
and our average annualized revenue was $9.36 per square foot in the first
quarter of 2005, as compared to an average annualized revenue of $8.64 per
square foot in the first quarter of 2004.
We had
interest and other income of $175,509 for the three months ended March 31, 2005,
as compared to $136,875 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase
of $38,634, or 28%. We hold all revenues and proceeds we receive from offerings
and loans in money market accounts and other short-term, highly liquid
investments. The increase in interest and other income during the first quarter
of 2005 as compared to 2004 resulted primarily from increases 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 $4,790,959 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared
to $4,101,619 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of
$689,340, or 17%. 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 first
quarter of 2005, as compared to approximately 6% of total revenues for the first
quarter of 2004.
The
increase in our operating expenses during the first quarter of 2005 was a result
of increased maintenance ($65,051), interest ($201,510), real estate taxes,
utilities, bad debt expense ($222,510) and depreciation ($81,869) and
amortization expenses. This increase was partially offset by a slight decrease
of $58,938 in insurance and general and administrative expenses.
The
amount we pay the Management Company under our management agreement is based on
our revenues and the number of leases the Management Company originates. As a
result of our increased revenues in the first quarter of 2005, management fees
were $359,003 in the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $324,138 in the first
quarter of 2004, an increase of $34,865, or 11%. Our interest expense increased
by $201,510, or 35%, in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first
quarter of 2004. Our average outstanding debt increased from $54,236,468 in the
first quarter of 2004 to $57,916,758 in the first quarter of 2005, and the
average interest rate associated with this debt increased from 4.18% in the
first quarter of 2004 to 5.30% in the first quarter of 2005. Finally, general
and administrative expenses decreased $35,889, or 10%, in the first quarter of
2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004.
Net
Income.
Income
provided by operating activities before minority interests was $1,521,681 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $1,384,807 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $136,874, or 10%. Net income for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005 was $824,444, as compared to $739,118 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $85,326, or 12%.
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 March 31, 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 which have floating interest rates. As of March
31, 2005, we had $53,790,000 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 $537,900 annually.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
In
accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act,
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 March 31, 2005. No
change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the
three-month period ended March 31, 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. Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
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.
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.
As of
December 31, 2004, no shares had been issued pursuant to the Public Offering,
because its terms provided that the Company would not admit new shareholders
pursuant to the Public Offering, or receive any proceeds therefrom, until
subscriptions aggregating at least $2,000,000 (200,000 shares) were received and
accepted by the Company, not including shares sold to residents of either New
York or Pennsylvania. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had received and
accepted subscriptions for a total of 147,432 shares for gross offering proceeds
of $1,474,320 held in escrow as of such date.
As of
March 31, 2005, the Company had accepted subscriptions for an aggregate of
433,274 shares (not
including any shares sold to residents of either New York or Pennsylvania) and,
accordingly, 433,274
shares had been issued pursuant to the Public Offering as of such date with
gross offering proceeds received of $4,332,459. The Company’s application of
such gross offering proceeds through March 31, 2005 was as follows:

As
reflected in the preceding table, $1,550,000 of these proceeds were applied
during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 to reduce our balance under our line of
credit with Union Planters Bank, N.A. This revolving loan agreement, under which
the full balance is due for repayment June 30, 2005, provides for interest at a
rate, adjusted monthly, of either (at our 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 effective interest rate
as of March 31, 2005 was 5.11% per annum.
