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, 2005 are
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company
(defined below) at that date. The unaudited financial statements at September
30, 2006 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”) and its subsidiary as of September
30, 2006 and results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and cash flows for the nine month period ended September
30,
2006. 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
HCP
was formed as a real estate investment trust, pursuant to the Texas
Real
Estate Investment Trust Act on August 20, 1998. 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.
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. As
of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company owned and
operated 37 retail, office/warehouse
and office properties in and around Houston, Dallas 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
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, 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
HCP. 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
|
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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 consist
of
demand deposits at commercial banks and money market
funds.
|
Due
from affiliates
|
Due
from
affiliates includes amounts owed to the Company from limited partnerships and
other entities affiliated with Hartman Management, L.P. (“Hartman Management”)
the former investment adviser of the Company.
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 6 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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
Deferred
costs
Deferred
costs consist primarily of leasing commissions, historically paid to Hartman
Management and deferred financing costs. Leasing commissions are amortized
using
the straight-line method over the terms of the related lease agreements.
Deferred financing costs are amortized using 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.

(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.
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, impairment of real estate assets and the estimated allowance
for doubtful accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from
those
estimates.
|
Derivative
Instruments
|
The
Company has initiated a program designed to manage exposure to interest
rate fluctuations by entering into financial derivative instruments.
The
primary objective of this program is to comply with debt covenants
on a
credit facility. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement
with respect to amounts borrowed under certain of our credit facilities,
which effectively exchanges existing obligations to pay interest
based on
floating rates for obligations to pay interest based on fixed LIBOR
rates.
|
Changes
in the market value of the derivative instruments and in the market
value
of the hedged items are recorded in earnings each reporting period.
For
items that are appropriately classified as cash flow hedges in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting
for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities,”
changes in the market value of the instrument and in the market value
of
the hedged item are recorded as other comprehensive income with the
exception of the portion of the hedged items that are considered
ineffective. The derivative instruments are reported at fair value
as
other assets or other liabilities as applicable. As of September
30, 2006,
the fair value of this instrument is approximately ($4,000) and is
included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated
balance
sheet. Additionally, approximately ($4,000) is included in interest
and
other income on the consolidated statements of income for the nine
months
ended September 30, 2006.

|
Fair
value of financial instruments
|
The
Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, 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. 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. The fair
value
of interest rate swaps (used for hedging purposes) is the estimated
amount
that the financial institution would receive or pay to terminate
the swap
agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest
rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap
counterparties.

Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154 Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No.
2 and
FASB Statement No. 3.
(“SFAS 154”). 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 principles.
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
did
not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
|
In
February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting
for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments
an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”
(“SFAS
155”). This statement will be effective beginning the first quarter of 2007.
Earlier adoption is permitted. The statement permits interests in hybrid
financial assets that contain an embedded derivative that would require
bifurcation to be accounted for as a single financial instrument at fair value
with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. This election is permitted
on
an instrument-by-instrument basis for all hybrid financial instruments held,
obtained, or issued as of the adoption date. The Company is currently assessing
the impact and timing of adoption of SFAS 155.
In
March
2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting
for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 140,”
(“SFAS
156”), which permits entities to elect to measure servicing assets and servicing
liabilities at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings. Adoption
of SFAS 156 is required for financial periods beginning after September 15,
2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact and timing of adoption
of
SFAS 156 but does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair
Value Measurements"
("SFAS
157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not
require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing
whether to early adopt SFAS 157 as of the first quarter of fiscal 2007 as
permitted, and is currently evaluating the impact adoption may have on the
consolidated financial statements.

The
Company maintains cash accounts in major financial institutions in

Restatement
Subsequent
to September 30, 2006, but before the completion of the review for the quarter
ended September 30, 2006, management determined that deferred commissions
related to an early lease termination on March 28, 2006 were not charged to
operations. In accordance with Company policy, deferred lease commissions for
tenants that pre-maturely vacate a lease are to be charged to amortization
expense in the period in which the default occurs. Accordingly, the Consolidated
Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 and the Consolidated

of the derivative is recognized currently in earnings. This derivative
instrument has a total notional amount of $30,000,000, is at a fixed
rate
of 5.09% plus the LIBOR margin (see Note 3), and matures monthly
through
March, 2008. As of September 30, 2006, the fair value of this instrument

Debt
(continued)

The
Company has a revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks. The credit
facility is secured by a pledge of the partnership interests in Hartman REIT
Operating Partnership III LP (“HROP III”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Operating Partnership that was formed to hold title to the properties comprising
the borrowing base pool for the facility. At that time, there were 18 properties
owned by HROP III.
The
original limit of the credit facility was $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 its then existing debt, to finance property
acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
On
May
31, 2006, pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of March 11,
2005, the Company requested to increase the limit of the credit facility by
$25,000,000, so that the total credit facility will be $75,000,000.
On
June
26, 2006, the Company conveyed ownership of 18 properties from Hartman REIT
Operating Partnership II LP (“HROP II”) to HROP III in order to expand the
borrowing base pool for the credit facility. At September 30, 2006, 36
properties were owned by HROP III.
On
June
30, 2006, the Company drew down $34,750,000 on the line of credit to extinguish
the three year floating rate mortgage loan described below and pay related
legal
and banking fees.
As
of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance outstanding under the
facility was $61,225,094 and $32,975,094, respectively, and the availability
to
draw was $13,774,906 and $17,024,906, respectively.
Outstanding
amounts under the credit facility accrue interest computed (at the Company’s
option) at either the LIBOR or the Alternative Base Rate on the basis of a
360
day year, plus the applicable margin as determined from the following
table:
Alternative

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 nine month periods, with a maximum of nine contracts at
any
time. The effective interest rate as of September 30, 2006 was 7.22% 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 pricing
is
elected, there is a prepayment penalty based on a “make-whole” calculation for
all costs associated with prepaying a LIBOR borrowing.

As
of
December 31, 2005, the Company was in violation of a loan covenant which
provides that the ratio of declared dividends to funds from operations (as
defined in the loan agreement) shall not be greater than 95%. As this violation
constitutes an event of default, the lenders had the right to accelerate payment
of this credit facility. However, on May 8, 2006 the Company received a waiver
from the required majority of the consortium banks in the credit facility and
also entered into a modification of the loan agreement whereby the covenant
was
amended though December 31, 2006. As amended, the ratio of declared dividends
to
funds from operations (as defined in the loan agreement) shall not exceed 107%
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, 104%
for
the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 100% for the three months ended
December 31, 2006. The Company is now in compliance with the covenant, as
amended.
On
October 2, 2006, the Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) (i) elected not
to renew an Advisory Agreement between the Company and Hartman Management
pursuant to which Hartman Management had previously managed, among other things,
the Company’s acquisition and disposition programs, financing activities and
accounting and back-office operations; (ii) provided verbal notice, followed
by
written notice, that it was terminating a certain Amended and Restated Property
Management Agreement between the Company and Hartman Management pursuant to
which Hartman Management had historically managed the leasing and operation
of
the Company’s real properties; and (iii) removed the Company’s chairman and
chief executive officer, Allen R. Hartman, who is also the chief executive
officer and sole owner of Hartman Management, from his positions as chairman,
president, secretary and chief executive officer of the Company. These actions
violated certain covenants in the loan agreement and were events of default
thereunder. On October 31, 2006, the Company gave written notice to its lenders
of the foregoing events of default and requested that the lenders waive such
defaults. On November 9, 2006, the lenders granted a temporary waiver of such
events of default until February 1, 2007, which waiver will become permanent
at
such time so long as (1) the Company timely delivers to the lenders all
financial statements, certificates and other financial information required
by
the loan agreement, and (2) KeyBank, as agent for the lenders, is satisfied
with
the Company’s ability to manage its real estate portfolio without the benefit of
an external property manager.
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 then existing Company’s properties and having a maturity date of January
1, 2006, extendable for an additional two years. Effective as of February 28,
2006 we extended the loan to January 1, 2008. During the initial term, the
loan
bore interest at 2.5% over a 30-day LIBOR (6.79% at December 31, 2005) computed
on the basis of a 360-day year. During the extension term the interest rate
will
be 3.0% over 30-day LIBOR. Interest only payments are due monthly, and the
loan
may be repaid in full or in $100,000 increments, with a final balloon payment
due upon maturity.
The
security documents related to the mortgage loan contain a covenant that requires
HROP II, a wholly owned subsidiary formed for the purpose of this credit
facility, to maintain adequate capital in light of its contemplated operations.
This covenant and the other restrictions provided for in the credit facility
do
not affect HROP II’s ability to make distributions to the Company. On June 30,
2006, the Company paid off the balance of this loan.
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 September 30, 2006 was $5,226,826. 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 is in process of obtaining new financing
to pay this note.
The
Company financed its comprehensive insurance premium with a note in the amount
of $757,175 payable in 10 equal monthly installments of $75,718, which includes
interest at 5.49%. The note is secured by unearned insurance premiums and will
be paid in full in December 2006.

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 units of limited partnership interests in the
Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) that are convertible into common shares
on a one for one basis. Only those items that have a dilutive impact
on
basic earnings per share are included in the diluted earnings per
share.
Accordingly, excluded from the earnings per share calculation for
each of
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are 5,808,337
OP Units as their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.

Related-Party
Transactions
|
In
January 1999, the Company entered into a property management agreement with
Hartman Management. 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 Hartman
Management 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 Hartman Management 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, as determined
by
a survey of brokers and agents in such area. These fees have ranged 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. On October 2, 2006, the Board gave verbal
notice to Hartman Management of the Company’s termination of the property
management agreement, followed by written notice on October 9, 2006. Hartman
Management has agreed to turn all property management functions over to the
Company on November 14, 2006.
Effective
September 1, 2004, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with
Hartman Management which provides that the Company pay Hartman Management a
quarterly fee of one-fourth of .25% of Gross Asset Value, as such term is
defined in the advisory agreement, for asset management services. In addition,
the advisory agreement provided for the payment of a deferred performance fee,
payable in certain events, including termination of the advisory agreement,
based upon appreciation in the value of certain real estate assets owned by
the
Company. The advisory agreement expired by its terms on September 30, 2006,
and
on October 2, 2006, the Board elected not to renew the advisory agreement.
The
Company incurred total management, partnership and asset management fees of
$556,283 and $323,517 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, and $1,359,903 and $1,052,679 for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Such fees in the amounts of $184,066 and
$111,286 were payable to Hartman Management at September 30, 2006 and December
31, 2005, respectively. The Company has not accrued any deferred performance
fees, as it believes the amount of such fees, if any are owing, cannot be
determined with reasonable certainty at this time.
The
aggregate fees and reimbursements payable to Hartman Management under the new
agreements effective September 1, 2004 were not intended to be significantly
different from those that would have been payable under the previous agreement.
Upon actual calculation, the asset management fee under the new agreement was
significantly higher. Hartman Management waived the excess of the fee for the
period September 1, 2004 through March 31, 2006 in perpetuity. The asset
management fee, as calculated under the new agreement, was charged by Hartman
Management in the second and third quarters and has been reflected in the
consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2006.
During
July 2004, the Company amended certain terms of its Declaration of Trust. Under
the amended terms, Hartman Management 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
Hartman Management are
recorded on a quarterly basis as a reduction in property management
fees.
Under
the
provisions of the property management agreement, costs incurred by Hartman
Management for the management and maintenance of the properties are reimbursable
to Hartman Management. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $144 and
$51,675, respectively, were payable to Hartman Management related to these
reimbursable costs.

In
consideration of leasing the properties, the Company also pays Hartman
Management leasing commissions for leases originated by Hartman Management
and
for expansions and renewals of existing leases. The Company incurred total
leasing commissions to Hartman Management of $159,753 and $325,610 for the
three
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $777,200 and
$1,350,410 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $48,476 and $78,744, respectively,
were payable to Hartman Management relating to leasing commissions.
In
connection with the Public Offering described in Note 6, the Company has
reimbursed Hartman Management 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 Hartman Management on behalf
of the Company. The Company has paid its dealer manager, through Hartman
Management by agreement between them, a fee of up to 2.5% of the gross selling
price of all common shares sold in the offering. The Company incurred total
fees
of $39,142 and $87,169 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, and $201,659 and $280,636 for the nine months ended September
30,
2006 and 2005, respectively. Such fees have been treated as offering costs
and
netted against the proceeds from the sale of common shares. On October 2, 2006,
the Board elected to suspend the Public Offering described in Note 6. Due to
the
expiration of the advisory agreement, if the Public Offering is re-commenced
at
a later time, Hartman Management will not be paid additional fees in connection
with the sale of securities.
Also
in
connection with the Public Offering described in Note 6, Hartman Management
has
historically received 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
has capitalized this acquisition fee and will allocate it to the purchase price
of properties acquired with offering proceeds.
The
Company incurred total acquisition fees to Hartman Management of $31,313 and
$69,733 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
and $161,627 and $224,508 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005,
respectively. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $33,137 and $109,160,
respectively, were payable to Hartman Management relating to organization and
offering expenses, dealer manager fees and acquisition fees.
Hartman Management was
billed $28,857 and $18,135 to the Company for office space during the three
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $75,817 and $60,626
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Such
amounts are included in rental income in the consolidated statements of
income.
HCP’s
day-to-day operations are strategically directed by the Board. HCP owns
substantially all of its real estate properties through the Operating
Partnership. Hartman was the HCP’s Board Chairman through October 2, 2006. He is
also the sole owner of Hartman Management. Hartman was owed $68,120 and $47,478
in dividends payable on his common shares at September 30, 2006 and December
31,
2005, respectively. Hartman owned 3.1% of the issued and outstanding common
shares of the Company as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively.
The
Company was a party to various other transactions with related parties which
are
reflected in due to/from affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.

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.
On
September 15, 2004, HCP’s Registration Statement on Form S-11, with respect to a
public offering (the “Public Offering”) of up to 10,000,000 common shares of
beneficial interest to be offered 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 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. Post-Effective Amendments No. 1, 2 and 3 to the Registration
Statement were declared effective by the SEC on June 27, 2005, March 9, 2006
and
May 3, 2006, respectively.
As
of
September 30, 2006, 2,776,313 shares had been issued pursuant to the Public
Offering with net offering proceeds received of $24,189,173. An additional
110,092 shares had been issued pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan in
lieu of dividends totaling $1,045,874. On October 2, 2006, the Board suspended
the Public Offering.
At
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Hartman and the Board collectively
owned 5.70% and 5.95%, respectively, of HCP’s outstanding shares.
Operating
Partnership units
Limited
partners in the Operating Partnership holding OP Units have the right
to
convert their OP Units into common shares at a ratio of one OP Unit
for
one common share. Distributions to OP Unit holders are paid at the
same
rate per unit as dividends per share of HCP. 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. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there
were 15,343,400 and 14,360,503 OP Units outstanding,
respectively.
HCP owned 9,535,063 and 8,552,166 Units as of September 30, 2006
and
December 31, 2005, respectively. The balance of the OP Units are
owned by
third parties, including Mr. Hartman and certain trustees. HCP’s
weighted-average share ownership in the Operating Partnership was
approximately 61.99% and 56.80% during the three months ended September
30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 61.26% and 55.59% for the nine
months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At September 30,
2006 and
December 31, 2005, Hartman and the Board of Trustees collectively
owned
7.37% and 7.82% of the Operating Partnership’s outstanding
units.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
The
Company is currently in litigation with Hartman Management and Allen R. Hartman
concerning the validity of the amended and restated property management
agreement and advisory agreement among other matters. The Company did not incur
any material termination penalties as a result of the termination of the
property management agreement or the original Property and Partnership
Management Agreement. In addition, the Board elected not to renew the advisory
agreement, the current payments under which had been extended on a
month-to-month basis and ultimately expired on September 30, 2006. The
previously mentioned litigation also contests the validity of the advisory
agreement. The advisory agreement provided for the payment of a deferred
performance fee, payable in certain events, including termination of the
advisory agreement, based upon appreciation in the value of certain real estate
assets owned by the Company. The Company has not accrued any deferred
performance fees, as it believes the amount of such fees, if any are owing,
cannot be determined with reasonable certainty at this time.
The
Company is a participant in various legal proceedings and claims that arise
in
the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by
insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with
certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of such matters will
not
have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations, or
cash
flows of the Company.

Significant
Events
|
On
October 2, 2006 the Board terminated the property management agreement with
Hartman Management. The Board determined that it was in the best interests
of
the Company and its shareholders to terminate the property management agreement
because of numerous unresolved issues and conflicts of interest between Allen
R.
Hartman, Hartman Management and the Company. In addition, the Board believed
that it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to move
forward as a self-managed, self-administered REIT with a new, fully integrated
management team. The Company is currently in litigation with Hartman Management
and Allen R. Hartman concerning the validity of the property management
agreement among other matters. The Company did not incur any material
termination penalties as a result of the termination of the property management
agreement. In addition, the Board elected not to renew the advisory agreement,
the current payments under which had been extended on a month-to-month basis
and
ultimately expired on September 30, 2006. The previously mentioned litigation
also contests the validity of the advisory agreement.
In
addition, on October 2, 2006, the Board, at the unanimous recommendation of
the
independent Trustees, voted to remove Allen R. Hartman from his positions as
Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Chairman of the Board of the Company.
On
the same day, the Board appointed James C. Mastandrea, age 63, to serve as
the
Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Mr.
Mastandrea has served as an independent member of the Company’s Board since July
5, 2006, and is a member of the Investment Committee of the Board, which he
chairs, and the newly formed Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees,
which
is comprised of Messrs. Vyas (Chair), Minton, Mahaffey and Mastandrea, and
he
will continue to serve as a member of the Board and the above mentioned
committees with a term expiring, along with the other Trustees, at the
Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. There are no arrangements or
understandings between Mr. Mastandrea and any other person pursuant to which
Mr.
Mastandrea was selected as an officer. Since the beginning of the Company’s last
fiscal year, Mr. Mastandrea has had no direct or indirect interest in any
transaction to which the Company was a party.
By
letter
dated October 27, 2006, Allen R. Hartman tendered his resignation as a member
of
the Board. Mr. Hartman’s resignation is effective as of the date of the letter.
Mr.
Hartman’s resignation is a result of his disagreement with several of the
Board’s recent actions. On October 2, 2006, after Mr. Hartman declined to accept
the Board’s offer that Mr. Hartman voluntarily resign from
his position with the Company, the Board voted to (i) remove Mr. Hartman
from his positions as Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of the Company, (ii) terminate the property management
agreement, and (iii) not renew the advisory agreement, the current payments
under which had been extended on a month-to-month basis, ultimately expiring
on
September 30, 2006. Mr. Hartman is the sole limited partner of Hartman
Management, as well as the president, secretary, sole trustee and sole
shareholder of its general partner.
The
Company is currently in litigation with Hartman Management and Mr. Hartman
concerning termination of the Amended and Restated Management Agreement, among
other matters.

Due
to
restatements as described below and contained herein of the consolidated
financial statements previously filed within Forms 10-Q for the quarterly
periods ending March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, such financial statements
contained therein should no longer be relied upon.
The
Company determined that amortization expense reported on Form 10-Q for the
three
months ended March 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 did not
reflect the write off of deferred lease commissions on a tenant that defaulted
on its lease on March 28, 2006.

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
and Outlook
We
own 37
commercial properties, consisting of 19 retail centers, 12 office/warehouse
properties and six office buildings. All of our properties are located in the
Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, Texas metropolitan areas. As of September
30,
2006, we had 721 total tenants. No individual lease or tenant is material to
our
business. Revenues from our largest lease constituted 2.8% of our total revenues
for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Leases for our properties range
from one year for 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.
Historically
our properties and day-to-day operations have been managed by Hartman
Management. All property management and leasing personnel were employees of
Hartman Management. Under the property management agreement previously in
effect, we paid Hartman Management 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. These fees historically have ranged
from
two to 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 Hartman Management and 4% of
the
effective gross revenues from expansions or renewals of existing
leases).
|
· |
except
as otherwise specifically provided, all costs and expenses incurred
by Hartman Management 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 Hartman Management who are engaged in the
operation,
management, maintenance 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.
|
22
Gross
revenues are defined 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.
In
addition, Hartman Management managed our acquisition, disposition, financing,
accounting and back-office operations under an advisory agreement effective
September 1, 2004 through September 30, 2006. Under the advisory agreement,
we
paid Hartman Management 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. Under the advisory agreement, 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.
The
aggregate fees and reimbursements payable to Hartman Management under the new
agreements effective September 1, 2004 were not intended to be significantly
different from those that would have been payable under the previous agreement.
Upon actual calculation, the asset management fee under the new agreement was
significantly higher. Hartman Management waived the excess of the fee for the
period September 1, 2004 through March 31, 2006 in perpetuity. The asset
management fee, as calculated under the new agreement, was charged by Hartman
Management in the second and third quarters and has been reflected in the
consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2006.
The
advisory agreement provided for the payment of a deferred performance fee,
payable in certain events, including termination of the advisory agreement,
based upon appreciation in the value of certain real estate assets owned by
the
Company. The advisory agreement expired by its terms on September 30, 2006,
and
on October 2, 2006, the Board elected not to renew the advisory agreement.
We
have not accrued any deferred performance fees, as we believe the amount of
such
fees, if any are owing, cannot be determined with reasonable certainty at this
time. Hartman Management has asserted that approximately $11 million is owed
in
deferred performance fees under the advisory agreement. Management believes
that
there is no reasonable basis for Hartman Management’s assertion. To date,
Hartman Management has made no demand for payment of the deferred performance
fee under the advisory agreement. Management believes that Hartman Management
will make such demand and could actually bring suit against us to collect such
fee. Although we currently estimate that no deferred performance fee is owed,
there can be no assurance that our view will ultimately prevail, and Hartman
Management may successfully assert that a deferred performance fee is owed
in an
amount that would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
and
results of operations.
The
agreement with Hartman Management was terminated on October 2, 2006. We intend
to operate as a self-managed, self-administered REIT in the future. As of
November 9, 2006, we have hired 18 permanent employees, including vice
presidents of leasing, property management and human resources, as well as
managing directors of leasing, among other employees. We believe that our
current staffing level is sufficient to effectively manage our property
portfolio for the foreseeable future. As a self-managed REIT, we will bear
our
own expenses of operations, including the salaries, benefits and other
compensation of our employees, office expenses, legal, accounting and investor
relations expenses and other overhead, but will no longer pay management or
advisory fees. In the short term, we believe expenses will be higher than normal
due to litigation expenses associated with our efforts to gain control of the
Company’s properties and business records. On a going-forward basis, we believe
that our operations will be more efficient than they were when we were
externally managed and our operating margins will improve as a
result.
23
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 Hartman REIT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the
“Operating Partnership”) and possess full legal control and authority over its
operations. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we owned a majority
of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”).
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 September
30,
2006 and December 31, 2005.
Purchase
Price Allocation. We
estimate 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.
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.
24
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.
Restatement.
Subsequent
to September 30, 2006, but before the completion of the review for the
quarter ended September 30, 2006, management determined that deferred
commissions related to an early lease termination on March 28, 2006 were not
charged to operations. In accordance with Company policy, deferred lease
commissions for tenants that pre-maturely vacate a lease are to be charged
to
amortization expense in the period in which the default occurs. Accordingly,
the
Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 and the
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31,
2006
and the six months ended June 30, 2006 have been restated. See Note
10.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
General.
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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
our
cash flows provided from operating activities were $11.2 million and we paid
total distributions of approximately $7.5 million. Therefore, we had excess
cash
flow of approximately $3.7 million. At times we have partially funded our
distributions to shareholders out of our lines of credit. To the extent a
portion of the net offering proceeds have been utilized to repay amounts
borrowed under our lines of credit, such net offering proceeds may be regarded
as being distributions to shareholders, all or a portion of which may be
characterized as a return of capital.
We
anticipate 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.
Public
Offering.
As
reflected in Note 6 to the consolidated 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 $10.00 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
September 30, 2006, 2,886,405 shares had been issued pursuant to the Public
Offering with net offering proceeds received of $25,235,047. For a more detailed
discussion of the results of the Public Offering through the end of the third
quarter and our application of the offering proceeds through such date, see
Part
II, Item 2 of this report. The Board suspended the Public Offering effective
October 2, 2006.
25
Cash
and Cash Equivalents. We
had
cash and cash equivalents of $4,421,731 on September 30, 2006 as compared to
$848,998 on December 31, 2005. The increase was principally due to release
of
approximately $3.2 million in escrows required by the debt with GMAC Commercial
Mortgage Corporation which was paid in full on September 30, 2006. 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.
Our
Debt for Borrowed Money.
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 matured 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. The Company paid off and closed this credit
facility during June 2005.
The
Company has a revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks. The credit
facility is secured by a pledge of the partnership interests in Hartman REIT
Operating Partnership III LP (“HROP III”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Operating Partnership that was formed to hold title to the properties comprising
the borrowing base pool for the facility. At that time, there were 18 properties
owned by HROP III.
The
original limit of the credit facility was $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 its then existing loan described above, to finance
property acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
On
May
31, 2006, pursuant to section 2.8 of the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated
as of
March 11, 2005, the Company requested to increase the limit of the credit
facility by $25,000,000, so that the total credit facility will be $75,000,000.
On
June
26, 2006, the Company conveyed ownership of 18 properties from Hartman REIT
Operating Partnership II LP (“HROP II”) to HROP III in order to expand the
borrowing base pool for the credit facility. At September 30, 2006, 36
properties are owned by HROP III.
On
June
30, 2006, the Company drew down $34,750,000 on the line of credit to extinguish
the three year floating rate mortgage loan described below and pay related
legal
and banking fees.
As
of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the balance outstanding under the
facility was $61,225,094 and $32,975,094, respectively and the availability
to
draw was $13,774,906 and $17,024,906, respectively.
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:

Base

The
Alternative Base Rate equals a floating rate equal to the higher of KeyBank’s
Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%. Interest is 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 nine month periods, with a maximum
of nine contracts at any time. In the event of default, interest will be
calculated as above plus 2%. The effective interest rate as of September 30,
2006 was 7.22% 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 is 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.
|
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 $0.15 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 $0.15 per square foot per annum
capital
expenditure reserve, divided by a 9.25% capitalization
rate.
|
27
· |
The
ratio of consolidated rolling four-quarter earnings before interest,
income tax, depreciation 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, depreciation
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 $0.15 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%.
|
· |
The
Company must maintain its status as a real estate investment trust
for
income tax purposes.
|
· |
Total
other investments shall not exceed 30% of total asset value. Other
investments shall include investments in joint ventures, unimproved
land,
marketable securities and mortgage notes receivable. Additionally,
the
preceding investment categories shall not comprise greater than
30%, 15%,
10% and 20%, respectively, of total other
investments.
|
The
Company must hedge all variable rate debt above $40 million until the point
in
which the ratio of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt is 50% of total debt
and maintain such hedges during any period in which variable rate debt exceeds
50% of total debt. On March 27, 2006, the Company executed an interest rate
swap
dated as of March 16, 2006 for the purpose of hedging variable interest rate
exposure, in compliance with the requirements of the loan agreement. The lender
waived default for the fact that the hedge was not executed within nine months
of closing, as required by the loan agreement.
As
of
December 31, 2005, the Company was in violation of a loan covenant which
provides that the ratio of declared dividends to funds from operations (as
defined in the loan agreement) shall not be greater than 95%. As this violation
constitutes an event of default, the lenders had the right to accelerate payment
of this credit facility. However, on May 8, 2006 the Company received a waiver
from the required majority of the consortium banks in the credit facility and
also entered into a modification of the loan agreement whereby the covenant
was
amended though December 31, 2006. As amended, the ratio of declared dividends
to
funds from operations (as defined in the loan agreement) shall not exceed 107%
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, 104% for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 and 100% for the three months ended December
31,
2006. The Company is now in compliance with the covenant, as
amended.
On
October 2, 2006, the Company’s Board of Trustees (i) elected not to renew
an advisory agreement between the Company and Hartman Management pursuant to
which Hartman Management had previously managed, among other things, the
Company’s acquisition and disposition programs, financing activities and
accounting and back-office operations; (ii) provided verbal notice, followed
by
written notice, that it was terminating the property management agreement
between the Company and Hartman Management pursuant to which Hartman Management
had historically managed the leasing and operation of the Company’s real
properties; and (iii) removed Allen R. Hartman, who is the chief executive
officer and sole owner of Hartman Management, from his positions as chairman,
president, secretary and chief executive officer of the Company. These actions
violated certain covenants in the loan agreement and were events of default
thereunder. On October 31, 2006, the Company gave written notice to its lenders
of the foregoing events of default and requested that the lenders waive such
defaults. On November 9, 2006, the lenders granted a temporary waiver of such
events of default until February 1, 2007, which waiver will become permanent
at
such time so long as (1) the Company timely delivers to the lenders all
financial statements, certificates and other financial information required
by
the loan agreement, and (2) KeyBank, as agent for the lenders, is satisfied
with
the Company’s ability to manage its real estate portfolio without the benefit of
an external property manager.

In
December 2002, we refinanced most of our debt with a credit facility from GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation. The loan is secured by, among other things,
18
of our properties, which are held by HROP II, 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 HROP II, 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 without penalty. This
loan was paid in full on June 30, 2006.
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 September 30, 2006 was $5,226,826. 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 is in process of requesting an extension of the December
1,
2006 maturity date and obtaining new financing to pay off the note.
Capital
Expenditures.
We are
currently reviewing all properties to determine the amount of capital
expenditures and improvements during the next 12 months. We may
also 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 Dallas, Texas metropolitan areas, with similar market
characteristics, 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.
Rental
income, tenant reimbursements and other income was $22,763,664 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to revenues of $18,787,678 for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2005. This represents an increase of 21%.
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from rents received from the
use
of our properties. The increase in our revenues during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 over the same period in 2005 was due to an increase in the
amount of rent charged at some locations and the purchase of additional
properties. Our occupancy rate at September 30, 2006 was 83%, as compared to
85%
at September 30, 2005. Our average annualized revenue per square foot was $9.54
and $9.15 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
Interest
and other income was $589,196 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
as
compared to $398,258, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase
of $190,938. We hold all revenues and proceeds we receive from offerings and
loans in money market accounts and other short-term, highly liquid investments.
The primary reason for the increase for the nine months ended September 30,
2006
was increased interest income as a result of higher cash balances.
Expenses.
Our
total
expenses, including interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense
were $19,450,507 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to
$15,031,956 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This is an increase
of
$4,418,551 or 29%.
We
expect
that the dollar amount of operating expenses will increase as we acquire
additional properties and expand our operations.
The
increase in our operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30,
2006 was primarily the result of increased operating and maintenance, real
estate taxes, utilities and depreciation primarily due to new property
acquisitions, and interest due to higher debt levels as a result of new property
acquisitions and interest rate increases.
32
The
amount we pay Hartman Management under our property management agreement is
based in part on our property revenues. As a result of our increased revenues
in
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 due to increased rent rate and the
addition of new properties and a property management increase in several
properties that was retroactive to January 1, 2006, management fees were
$1,359,903 and $1,052,679 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005,
respectively.
Our
interest expense increased by $1,287,300 or 49%, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 over the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Our average
outstanding debt was $70,950,470 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
as
compared to $60,373,396 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Our
average interest rate associated with this debt increased to 7.4% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 5.74% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. In March 2006, we executed an interest rate swap to hedge
$30,000,000 of our variable-rate debt against future increases in interest
rates, although the interest rate of the swap agreement has not reduced our
interest expense during 2006.
Net
Income.
Income
provided by operating activities before minority interests was $3,313,157 and
$3,755,722 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Net income was $2,025,605 and $2,086,230 for the nine months ended September
30,
2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in net income was the result of the
items discussed above in expenses and revenue.

Revenues.
Rental
income, tenant reimbursements and other income was $7,476,443 and $6,204,629
for
the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This is an
increase of $1,271,814, or 21%. Substantially all of our revenues are derived
from rents received from the use of our properties. The increase in our revenues
during the three months ended September 30, 2006 over the same period in 2005
was due to an increase in the amount of rent charged at some locations and
the
purchase of additional properties. Our occupancy rate at September 30, 2006
was
83%, as compared to 85% at September 30, 2005. Our average annualized revenue
was $9.80 and $8.82 per square foot for the three months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively.
33
Interest
and other income was $35,641 and $181,739 for the three months ended September
30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This represents a decrease of $146,098 or
80%.
The primary reason for the decrease in the three months ended September 30,
2006
was a decrease in the value of the interest rate swap of $199,000.
Expenses.
Our
total
expenses, including interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense
were $6,502,853 and $5,310,457 for the three months ended September 30, 2006
and
2005, respectively. This represents an increase of $1,192,396 or 22%.
We
expect
that the dollar amount of operating expenses will increase as we acquire
additional properties and expand our operations.
The
increase in our operating expenses during the three months ended September
30,
2006 was primarily the result of increased interest expense, depreciation and
amortization, real estate taxes, utilities and management fees paid to Hartman
Management. The increases to depreciation, real estate taxes and utilities
are
primarily due to new property acquisitions. The increase to interest expense
is
due to higher debt and interest rate increases.
The
amount we pay Hartman Management under our property management agreement is
based in part on our property revenues. As a result of our increased revenues
in
the three months ended September 30, 2006 due to increased rent rate and the
addition of new properties and a property management increase in several
properties that was retroactive to January 1, 2006, management fees were
$556,283 and $323,517 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
Our
interest expense increased by $258,615, or 27% for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Our
average outstanding debt was $68,729,821 and $60,588,693 for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our average interest rate
associated with this debt increased to 7.2% for the three months ended September
30, 2006 as compared to 6.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
In
March 2006, we executed an interest rate swap to hedge $30,000,000 of our
variable-rate debt against future increases in interest rates, although the
interest rate of the swap agreement has not reduced our interest expense during
2006.
Net
Income.
Income
provided by operating activities before minority interests was $973,590 and
$894,172 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Net income was $602,414 and $511,510 for the three months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in net income was the result of the
items discussed above in expenses and revenue.
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.
34
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 September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005.
35
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. Based upon the nature of our operations, we are
not
subject to foreign exchange or commodity risk. We will be exposed to changes
in
interest rates as a result of our credit facilities which have floating interest
rates. As of September 30, 2006, we had $61,225,000 of indebtedness outstanding
under these facilities, $31,225,000 of which was not hedged to protect against
rising interest rates. 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 $312,250.
Item
4.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of the
end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e).
As
reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2005,
our independent registered public accounting firm, in the course of the audit
of
our 2005 financial statements, brought to management’s attention two material
weaknesses in our internal controls: (1) Inadequate controls and procedures
in
place to effectively identify and monitor amendments to lease agreements and
(2)
Inadequate controls and procedures in place to effectively identify and monitor
tenant defaults where a lease commission has been recorded. As a result of
these
deficiencies, our accounting personnel may not be made aware of changes to
lease
agreements and tenant defaults that require recognition in our financial
accounting records. Accordingly, errors in our accounting for revenue and
amortization expense may occur and may not be detected. A material weakness
(within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing
Standard No. 2) is a control deficiency, or aggregation of control deficiencies,
that result in more than a remote risk that a material misstatement in the
Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected.
In
the
current quarter it was discovered by the Company that amortization expense
had
not been recorded properly for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the
six
months ended June 30, 2006. This was the result of deferred lease commission
not
being written off on a tenant that defaulted on their lease on March 28, 2006.
The impact of this adjustment on prior quarter’s financial
statements is detailed in Note 10 to the Consolidated financial
statements.
Based
upon managements evaluation for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the
material weaknesses described in the preceding paragraph, the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely
alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its
consolidated subsidiaries) that is required to be included in the Company’s
Exchange Act filings. The Company is in the process of remediating the material
weaknesses and intends to engage an external consultant to assist management
in
establishing and maintaining adequate controls and remediating the identified
material.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that
occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2006 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting.

PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
The
Company is currently in litigation with Hartman Management and Allen R. Hartman
concerning the validity of the amended and restated management agreement among
other matters. The Company did not incur any material termination penalties
as a
result of the termination of the amended and restated property management
agreement or the original property and partnership management agreement. In
addition, the Board elected not to renew an advisory agreement, dated as of
August 31, 2004, between the Company and Hartman Management, the current
payments under which had been extended on a month-to-month basis and ultimately
expired on September 30, 2006. The previously mentioned litigation also contests
the validity of the advisory agreement.
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
1A. Risk Factors
The
discussion of the Company’s business and operations should be read together with
the risk factors contained in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which
we
are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential
to
affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. As of September
30, 2006, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth
in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
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 6 to the Consolidated 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. Post-Effective
Amendments No. 1, 2 and 3 to the Registration Statement were declared effective
by the SEC on June 27, 2005, March 9, 2006 and May 3, 2006,
respectively.
The
10,000,000 shares offered to the public in the Public Offering were being
offered to investors on a best efforts basis by the dealer manager D.H. Hill
Securities, LLP, 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
September 30, 2006, an aggregate of 2,886,405 shares had been issued pursuant
to
the Public Offering with gross offering proceeds received of $28,859,004. The
Company’s application of such gross offering proceeds through September 30, 2006
was as follows:

Although
the immediate use of $18,300,000 of proceeds of the offering was the repayment
of the Company’s lines of credit, and the immediate use of $6,935,047 was for
working capital, purchases of real estate assets have been made by re-drawing
on
the lines of credit and using working capital. Therefore, the ultimate use
of a
substantial portion of the aggregate net offering proceeds may be regarded
as
being for the acquisition of real estate assets. For the year ended December
31,
2005, an aggregate of $605,263 of our lines of credit was used to fund the
excess of distributions to shareholders over our cash flow from operating
activities, which may be characterized as a return of capital.
On
October 2, 2006, the Board suspended the Public
Offering.
