CB RICHARD ELLIS REALTY TRUST

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (unaudited)

1. Organization and Nature of Business

CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust (the “Company”) was formed on March 30, 2004 under the laws of the state of Maryland. CBRE Operating Partnership, L.P. (“CBRE OP”) was formed in Delaware on March 30, 2004, with the Company as the sole general partner (the “General Partner”). The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), beginning with its taxable period ended December 31, 2004. The Company was formed to raise capital and acquire ownership interests in high quality real estate properties, including office, retail, industrial, and multi-family residential properties, as well as other real estate-related assets.

On July 1, 2004, the Company commenced operations and issued 6,844,313 common shares of beneficial interest in connection with the initial capitalization of the Company. For each common share the Company issued, one limited partnership unit in CBRE OP was issued to the Company in exchange for the cash proceeds from the issuance of the common shares. In addition, CBRE REIT Holdings, LLC (“REIT Holdings”) an affiliate of CBRE Advisors LLC (the “Investment Advisor”), purchased 29,937 limited partnership units in CBRE OP as a limited partner. During October 2004, the Company issued an additional 123,449 common shares of beneficial interest to an unrelated third-party investor. On July 2, 2007, in conjunction with the Carolina Portfolio acquisition, the Company formed a taxable REIT subsidiary, CBRE RT Carolina TRS, Inc., (“Carolina TRS”), to hold certain real estate assets designated by management as held for sale which represent non-qualified REIT assets. On September 30, 2008, the real estate assets held by Carolina TRS were reclassified as held for investment and were transferred to CBRE OP.

The registration statement relating to our initial public offering was declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 24, 2006. CNL Securities Corp. acted as the dealer manager of this offering. The registration statement covered up to $2,000,000,000 in common shares of beneficial interest, 90% of which were offered at a price of $10.00 per share, and 10% of which were offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date, as determined by the Investment Advisor, or another firm we choose for that purpose. During the period October 24, 2006 through January 29, 2009, the Company issued 60,808,967 additional common shares of beneficial interest. We terminated the initial public offering effective as of the close of business on January 29, 2009.

The registration statement relating to our follow-on public offering was declared effective by the SEC on January 30, 2009. CNL Securities Corp. is the dealer manager (the “Dealer Manager”) of this offering. The registration statement covers up to $3,000,000,000 in common shares of beneficial interest, 90% of which will be offered at a price of $10.00 per share, and 10% of which will be offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date, as determined by the Investment Advisor, or another firm we choose for that purpose. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares between the primary offering and our dividend reinvestment plan. From January 30, 2009 (effective date) through June 30, 2010, the Company received gross offering proceeds of approximately $728,540,691 from the sale of 72,998,556 shares.

The Company operates in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which its majority-owned subsidiary, CBRE OP, owns, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the properties acquired on behalf of the Company. As of June 30, 2010, the Company, as the sole general partner of CBRE OP, owned approximately 99.82% of the common partnership units therein. REIT Holdings, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, holds the remaining interest through 246,361 limited partnership units representing approximately a 0.18% ownership interest in the total limited partnership units. In exchange for services provided to the Company relating to its formation and future services, REIT Holdings also owns a Class B limited partnership interest (“Class B interest”). The Investment Advisor is affiliated with the Company in that the two entities have common officers and trustees, some of whom also own equity interests in the Investment Advisor and the Company. All business activities of the Company are managed by the Investment Advisor.

Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references to “CBRE REIT,” “we,” “the Company” “our,” and “us” refer to the activities of and the assets and liabilities of the business and operations of CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust and its subsidiaries.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules applicable to Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Certain information and footnotes required for annual financial statement presentation have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required under U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our current Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the latest available audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary in all material respects to present fairly our financial position, results of our operations and cash flows as of and for the three and six months and ended June 30, 2010 have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through August 13, 2010, which was the date we filed this Form 10-Q with the SEC.

Principles of Consolidation

Because we are the sole general partner and majority owner of CBRE OP and have majority control over their management and major operating decisions, the accounts of CBRE OP are consolidated in our financial statements. The interests of REIT Holdings are reflected in non-controlling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. CB Richard Ellis Investors, LLC (“CBRE Investors”), an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, also owns an interest in us through its ownership of 243,229 common shares of beneficial interest at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Our determination of the appropriate accounting method with respect to our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. (“CBRE Strategic Partners Asia”), which is not considered a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), is partially based on CBRE Strategic Partners Asia’s sufficiency of equity investment at risk which was triggered by a substantial paydown during 2009 of its subscription line of credit backed by investor capital commitments to fund its operations. We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting.

We determine if an entity is a VIE based on several factors, including whether the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. In a quantitative analysis, we incorporate various estimates, including estimated future cash flows, asset hold periods and discount rates, as well as estimates of the probabilities of various scenarios occurring. If the entity is a VIE, we then determine whether we consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary. We determine whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates in these evaluations, it could result in differing conclusions as to whether or not an entity is a VIE and whether or not we consolidate such entity.

With respect to our majority limited membership interest in the Duke/Hulfish, LLC joint venture (the “Duke joint venture”), the Afton Ridge Joint Venture, LLC (“Afton Ridge”), the Goodman Princeton Holdings (Jersey) Limited joint venture (the “UK JV”) and the Goodman Princeton Holdings (LUX) SARL joint venture (the “European JV”) we considered the Codification Topic “Consolidation” (“FASB ASC 810”) in determining that we did not have control over the financial and operating decisions of such entities due to the existence of substantive participating rights held by the minority limited members who are also the managing members of the Duke joint venture and Afton Ridge, and the investment advisors/managers of the UK JV and the European JV, respectively.

We carry our investments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, the Duke joint venture, Afton Ridge, the UK JV and the European JV on the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of each such entity.

We eliminate transactions with such equity method entities to the extent of our ownership in each such entity. Accordingly, our share of net income (loss) of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net income (loss). CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is a limited partnership that qualifies for specialized industry accounting for investment companies. Specialized industry accounting allows investment companies to carry their investments at fair value, with changes in the fair value of the investments recorded in the statement of operations. On the basis of the guidance in ASC 970-323, the Company accounts for its investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the equity method. As a result, and in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-15 the specialized accounting treatment, principally the fair value basis applied by CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the investment company guide, is retained in the recognition of equity method earnings in the statement of operations of the Company. See Note 15 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” for further discussion of the application of the fair value accounting to our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires us 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Information

We currently operate in two geographic areas, the United States and the United Kingdom. We view our operations as three reportable segments, a Domestic Industrial segment, a Domestic Office segment and an International Office/Retail segment, which participate in the acquisition, development, ownership, and operation of high quality real estate in their respective segments.

Cash Equivalents

We consider short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, cash equivalents consisted primarily of investments in money market funds.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents those cash accounts for which the use of funds is restricted by loan covenants. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our restricted cash balance was $1,983,000 and $1,923,000, respectively, which represents amounts set aside as impounds for future property tax payments, property insurance payments and tenant improvement payments as required by our agreements with our lenders.

Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Held for Sale

In a period in which a property has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the statements of operations for current and prior periods report the results of operations of the property as discontinued operations.

At such time as a property is deemed held for sale, such property is carried at the lower of: (1) its carrying amount or (2) fair value less costs to sell. In addition, a property being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. We classify operating properties as property held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

 

  ¡  

management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset;

 

  ¡  

the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;

 

  ¡  

an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset has been initiated;

 

  ¡  

the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year;

 

  ¡  

the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and

 

  ¡  

given the actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset, it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan would be made or that the plan would be withdrawn.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we did not have any properties held for sale.

Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

All of our derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Calculation of a fair value of derivative instruments also requires management to use estimates. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. The changes in fair value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the corresponding amount recorded in current period earnings. We have certain interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and follow the accounting treatment discussed above. We also have certain interest rate swap derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly, changes in fair values are recognized in current earnings.

We disclose the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. We also provide more information about our liquidity by disclosing derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, we cross-reference within these footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments (see Note 14 “Derivative Instruments” and Note 15 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” for a further discussion of our derivative financial instruments).

Investments in Real Estate

Our investments in real estate are stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Buildings and Improvements

   39 years

Site Improvements

   15 and 25 years

Tenant Improvements

   Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases

Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 62 and 60 real estate investments, respectively.

On March 31, 2010, we completed the transfer of our wholly-owned Miramar I and II properties into the Duke joint venture.

On April 8, 2010, we acquired 5160 Hacienda Drive, a single tenant corporate headquarters and research and development building located in Dublin, CA, in the eastern portion of the San Francisco Bay area. The purchase price was $38,500,000.

On May 7, 2010, we acquired 10450 Pacific Center Court, a single tenant office building located in San Diego, CA. The purchase price was $32,750,000.

On June 21, 2010, we acquired 225 Summit Avenue, a single tenant corporate headquarters office building located in Montvale, NJ, in the New York metropolitan area. The purchase price was $40,600,000.

On June 24, 2010, we acquired One Wayside Road, a single tenant corporate headquarters office building located in Burlington, MA, a suburb of Boston. The purchase price was $55,525,000.

We adopted the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification Topic “Business Combinations” (“FASB ASC 805”) which required us to expense the related acquisition costs of acquisitions made during the years following December 31, 2008. The adoption of the provisions of FASB ASC 805 affects our consolidated financial statements, results of operations and cash flows from operations. We expensed $4,841,000 and $998,000, $5,219,000 and $998,000 of acquisition costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Our properties are located throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory, and social factors affecting the communities in which the tenants operate. Our credit risk relates primarily to cash, restricted cash, and interest rate swap and cap agreements. Cash accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 through December 31, 2013.

We have not experienced any losses to date on our invested cash and restricted cash. The interest rate cap and swap agreements create credit risk. Credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of their contracts. Our risk management policies define parameters of acceptable market risk and limit exposure to credit risk. Credit exposure resulting from derivative financial instruments is represented by their fair value amounts, increased by an estimate of potential adverse position exposure arising from changes over time in interest rates, maturities, and other relevant factors. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our counterparties.

Non-Controlling Interest

We owned a 99.82%, 99.77%, and 99.69% partnership interest in CBRE OP as of June 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The remaining 0.18%, 0.23% and 0.31% partnership interest as of June 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively, was owned by REIT Holdings in the form of 246,361 non-controlling operating partnership units which were exchangeable on a one for one basis for common shares of CBRE REIT, with an estimated aggregate redemption value of $2,464,000.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. In spite of intensive leasing efforts and preliminary interest exhibited by a variety of tenants since our acquisition in 2008, the Kings Mountain III property remains vacant. Due to the challenging economic environment, we recognized an impairment of our consolidated investment in Kings Mountain III in the amount of $9,160,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 which reduced our carrying value of the property to $15,300,000. Based on the adjusted basis in the Kings Mountain III property no further impairment was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. No impairment of consolidated investments was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate

We apply the acquisition method to all acquired real estate investments. The purchase consideration of the real estate is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, value

of tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease), site improvements, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.

In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values 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 and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases and any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the initial terms of the prospective leases.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease value and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value for the real estate acquired as such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. Should future acquisitions of properties result in allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, an amount would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written-off.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and swap fair value adjustments for qualifying hedges.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with our taxable period ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains) adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to our shareholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes if we distribute 100% of our taxable income for each year to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. Except as discussed below, we believe that we have met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009. Management intends to continue to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification.

In order for distributions to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes and count towards our distribution requirement, they must not be “preferential dividends.” A distribution will not be treated as preferential if it is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class. IRS guidance, however, allows a REIT to offer shareholders participating in its dividend reinvestment program (“DRIP”) up to a 5% discount on shares purchased through the DRIP without treating such reinvested dividends as preferential. Our DRIP offers a 5% discount. In 2007, 2008 and the first two quarters of 2009, common shares issued pursuant to our DRIP were treated as issued as of the first day following the close of the quarter for which the distributions were declared, and not on the date that the cash distributions were paid to shareholders not participating in our DRIP. Because we declare dividends on a daily basis, including with respect to common shares issued pursuant to our DRIP, the IRS could take the position that distributions paid by us during these periods were preferential on the grounds that the discount provided to DRIP participants effectively exceeded the authorized 5% discount or, alternatively, that the overall distributions were not pro rata among all shareholders. In addition, in the years 2007 through 2009 we paid certain individual retirement account (“IRA”) custodial fees in respect of IRA accounts that invested in our common shares. The payment of certain of such amounts could be treated as dividend distributions to the IRAs, and therefore as preferential dividends as such amounts were not paid in respect of our other outstanding common shares. Although we believe that the effect of the operation of our DRIP and the payment of such fees was immaterial, the REIT rules do not provide an exception for de minimis preferential dividends.

Accordingly, we submitted a request to the IRS for a closing agreement under which the IRS would grant us relief for preferential dividends that may have been paid as a result of the manner in which we operated our DRIP and in respect of our payment of certain of such custodial fees. There can be no assurance that the IRS will accept our proposal for a closing agreement. Even if the IRS accepts the proposal, we may be required to pay a fine if the IRS were to view the prior operation of our DRIP or the payment of such fees as preferential dividends. We cannot predict whether such a penalty would be imposed or, if so, the amount of the penalty. If the IRS does not agree to our proposal for a closing agreement and treats the foregoing amounts as preferential dividends, we may be able to rectify its failure to meet the REIT distribution requirements for a year by paying “deficiency dividends,” which would be paid in respect of all of its common shares pro rata and which would be included in our deduction for dividends paid in the prior years. If required, such deficiency dividends could be as much as approximately $22 million. In such a case, we would be able to avoid losing our qualification as a REIT or being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends. However, we would be required to pay an interest-like penalty based on the amount of its deficiency dividends. Amounts paid as deficiency dividends should generally be treated as taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables

All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. In connection with various leases, we have received irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling $6,535,000 and $6,785,000 as security for such leases at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis, when we are the primary obligor with respect to incurring expenses and with respect to having the credit risk.

Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. Management’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowances are increased or decreased through the provision for bad debts. The allowance for uncollectible rent receivable was $237,000 and $183,000 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we wrote off $310,000 of the uncollectible rent receivables for the tenant Randal C. Espey at the Deerfield Commons I property, tenants Cell Arch Technologies, Inc. and Keogh Consulting, Inc. at the Lakeside Office Center, and the tenant Romeo Rim, Inc. at the Cherokee Corporate Park. $363,000 of allowance for doubtful accounts was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, the unamortized tangible and intangible asset balances totaling $27,000 were also written off during the six months ended June 30, 2010, of which ($10,000), $5,000, $8,000 and $24,000 are related to above/below market leases, lease commissions, tenant improvements and in place lease value, respectively.

Offering Costs

Offering costs totaling $26,462,000 and $16,049,000 were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. Offering costs incurred through June 30, 2010 totaled $118,964,000. Of the total amount, $106,504,000 was incurred to CNL Securities Corp., as Dealer Manager; $3,969,000 was incurred to CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc., an affiliate of the Investment Advisor; $442,000 was incurred to the Investment Advisor for reimbursable marketing costs and $8,049,000 was incurred to other service providers. Each party will be paid the amount incurred from proceeds of the public offering. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the accrued offering costs payable to related parties included in our consolidated balance sheets were $1,192,000 and $1,114,000, respectively. Offering costs payable to unrelated parties of $148,000 and $83,000 at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Deferred Financing Costs and Discounts on Notes Payable

Direct costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are amortized over the respective term of the loan on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.

Discounts or premiums on notes payable are amortized to interest expense based on the effective interest method.

Translation of Non-U.S. Currency Amounts

The financial statements and transactions of our United Kingdom and European real estate operations are recorded in its functional currency, namely the Great Britain Pound (“GBP”) and the Euro (“EUR”) and are then translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”).

Assets and liabilities of this operation are denominated in the functional currency and are then translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss,” a component of Shareholders’ Equity.

The carrying value of our United Kingdom assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the GBP. The exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was $1.4940 and $1.6156 at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The profit and loss weighted average exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was approximately $1.4911 and $1.5775, and $1.5380 and $1.4762, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

The carrying value of our European assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the EUR. The exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was $1.2228 at June 30, 2010. We acquired our first property in Europe on June 10, 2010.

The profit and loss weighted average exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was approximately $1.2301 for the period ended June 30, 2010. We acquired our first property in Europe on June 10, 2010.

Class B Interest—Related Party

Effective July 1, 2004, REIT Holdings, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, was granted a Class B interest in CBRE OP. The Class B interest is an equity instrument issued to non-employees in exchange for services. As modified by the second amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of CBRE OP entered into on January 30, 2009 (the “Second Amended Partnership Agreement”), the holder is entitled to receive distributions made by CBRE OP in an amount equal to 15% of all net sales proceeds on dispositions of properties or other assets (including by liquidation, merger or otherwise) after the other partners including us, have received in the aggregate, cumulative distributions from property income, sales proceeds or other services equal to (i) the total capital contributions made to CBRE OP and (ii) a 7% annual, uncompounded return on such capital contributions. The terms of the termination provision relating to the Class B interest requires its forfeiture in the event the Advisor unilaterally terminates the agreement between the Company, CBRE OP and the Investment Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”). As a result future changes in the fair value of the Class B interest will be deferred from recognition in the financial statements until a listing of the common shares on a national securities exchange or a change in control transaction takes place.

Earnings Per Share Attributable to CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust Shareholders

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted net income (loss) further assumes the dilutive effect of stock options, stock warrants and contingently issuable shares, if any. No stock options, stock warrants or contingently issuable shares have been issued since the inception of the REIT and through June 30, 2010 that are not fully vested. As a result, there is no difference in basic and diluted shares.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments

We elected to apply the fair value option for one of our eligible mortgage notes payable that was newly issued debt during the year ended December 31, 2008. The measurement of the elected mortgage note payable at its fair value and its impact on the statement of operations is described in Note 15 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” and Note 16 “Fair Value Option-Note Payable.”

We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow. The Investment Manager of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia applies valuation techniques for our investment carried at fair value based upon the application of the income approach, the replacement cost approach or third party appraisals to the underlying assets held in the unconsolidated entity in determining the net asset value attributable to our ownership interest therein. The financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements are the two interest rate swaps, one interest rate cap, our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia (a real estate entity which qualifies as an investment company under the Investment Company Act), and one mortgage note payable that is economically hedged by one of the interest rate swaps.

The remaining financial assets and liabilities which are only disclosed at fair value are comprised of all other notes payable, the unsecured line of credit and other debt instruments. We determined the fair value of our secured notes payable and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

We adopted the fair value measurement criteria described herein for our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the fair value measurement criteria to our non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities typically recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include:

 

  ¡  

Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition or business combination;

 

  ¡  

Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment assessment; and

 

  ¡  

Asset retirement obligations initially measured under the Codification Topic “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (“FASB ASC 410”).

Non-controlling (Minority) Interests in the Operating Partnership

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB ASC 810. The new accounting provisions require that amounts formerly reported as minority interests in our consolidated financial statements be reported as non-controlling interests. In connection with the issuance of this adoption, certain revisions were also made to the Codification Topic “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A”). These revisions clarify that non-controlling interests with redemption provisions outside of the control of the issuer and non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer are subject to evaluation to determine the appropriate balance sheet classification and measurement of such instruments.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (unaudited)

 

With respect to the operating partnership units, FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A requires non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer to be further evaluated under the Codification Sub-Topic “Derivatives and Hedging—Conditions Necessary for Equity Classification” (“FASB ASC 815-40-25-10”) (Paragraphs 815-40-25-39 through 815-40-25-42) to determine whether permanent equity or temporary equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the operating partnership units contain such a provision, the Company evaluated this guidance and determined that the operating partnership units do not meet the requirements to qualify for equity presentation. As a result, upon the adoption of FASB ASC 810 and the related revisions to FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the operating partnership units are presented in the temporary equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and reported at the higher of their proportionate share of the net assets of CBRE OP or fair value, with period to period changes in value reported as an adjustment to shareholder’s equity. Under the terms of the Second Amended Partnership Agreement the fair value of the operating partnership units is determined as an amount equal to the redemption value as defined therein.

Subsequent Events

Effective for the second quarter of 2009, we adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 855-10—Subsequent Events (“FASB ASC 855-10”), as amended by Accounting Standard Update 2010-09. ASC 855-10 establishes principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed in the financial statements. The adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In preparing our accompanying financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through the financial statement issuance date.

Adoption of Accounting Standards

Consolidations

In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” which incorporates Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” issued by the FASB in June 2009. The amendments in ASU 2009–17 replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a VIE with an approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance and (i) the obligation to absorb losses of such entity or (ii) the right to receive benefits from such entity. ASU 2009-17 also requires additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in VIEs, which enhances the information provided to users of financial statements. We adopted ASU 2009-17 effective January 1, 2010. As a result of the fact that we have no variable interests in VIEs, the adoption of ASU 2009-17 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 which was an update to the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). ASU 2010-06 clarifies disclosure requirements relating to the level of disaggregation of disclosures relating to classes of assets and liabilities and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value estimates for Level 2 or Level 3 assets and liabilities. These requirements of ASU 2010-06 are effective for interim and annual disclosures for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of these requirements of the ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

ASU 2010-06 also requires additional disclosures regarding the transfers of classifications among the fair value classification levels as well as the reasons for those changes and a separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the presentation of the roll-forward of Level 3 assets and liabilities. Those disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this portion of ASU 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

3. Acquisition and Transfer of Real Estate

The fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, if any, based in each case on their respective fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Acquisition related expenses of $3,567,000 and $3,576,000 associated with the acquisition of consolidated real estate were expensed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The purchase allocation to the assets and liabilities are preliminary and subject to revision based on the finalization of the valuations of the assets and liabilities acquired.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the above noted acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2010 (in thousands):

The contribution resulted in the deconsolidation of the Miramar I and Miramar II properties from our balance sheet on March 31, 2010 based on the contribution from consolidated subsidiaries to an unconsolidated investee entity, the Duke joint venture. As a result of the contribution, our investment in the Duke joint venture increased by $42,378,000 (inclusive of proration credits of $281,000 transferred to the Duke joint venture). We recorded a gain on the contribution of $154,000. Included in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010, were revenues of $1,348,000 and operating expenses of $817,000. There were no comparable amounts of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as the two contributed properties were not acquired until December 31, 2009.

CBRE Strategic Partners Asia

We have agreed to a capital commitment of $20,000,000 in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, which extends for 36 months (to January 31, 2011) after the close of the final capital commitment. The investment commitment period was extended in January 2010 for a one year period from January 31, 2010 through January 31, 2011. As of June 30, 2010, we have contributed $12,097,000 of our capital commitment which was funded using net proceeds from our public offerings. CBRE Investors, our sponsor, formed CBRE Strategic Partners Asia to purchase, reposition, develop, hold for investment and sell institutional quality real estate and related assets in targeted markets in Asia, including China, Japan, India, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and other Asia Pacific markets. The initial closing date of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia was in July 2007, with additional commitments being accepted through January 2008. CBRE Strategic Partners Asia closed on January 31, 2008, with aggregate capital commitments of $394,200,000. CBRE Strategic Partners Asia has an eight year term, which may be extended for up to two one-year periods with the approval of two-thirds of the limited partners.

As of June 30, 2010, CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, with its parallel fund, CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II, L.P., had aggregate investor commitments of approximately $394,200,000 from institutional investors including CBRE Investors. We own an ownership

interest of approximately 5.07% in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. As of June 30, 2010, CBRE Strategic Partners Asia had acquired ownership interests in 10 properties, five in China and five in Japan and had sold two properties in China; one residential property and one mixed—use property. Our capital commitment is currently being pledged as collateral for borrowings of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia of which our pro-rata portion of such borrowing was approximately $2,562,000 and $5,208,000, based on our 5.07% ownership interest at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

On March 4, 2010, we received a distribution of net sales proceeds from CBRE Strategic Partners Asia totaling $2,435,000 from the February 23, 2010 sale of a residential property located in Beijing, China. The cash distributions in connection with the Beijing residential property sale are subject to recall and reinvestment into appropriate investments until the expiration of the CBRE Strategic Partners Asia commitment period on January 31, 2011.

On May 26, 2010, we received a distribution of net sales proceeds from CBRE Strategic Partners Asia totaling $3,146,000 from the sale of a joint venture interest in a mixed use project located in Tianjin, China. The cash distributions from this transaction are not subject to recall.

We carry our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia on the equity method of accounting. Those investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of such entities (including certain entities where we have less than 20% ownership) are accounted for using the equity method. Accordingly, our share of the income or loss of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net income or loss. CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is a limited partnership that qualifies for specialized industry accounting for investment companies. Specialized industry accounting allows investment companies to carry their investments at fair value, with changes in the fair value of the investments recorded in the statement of operations. On the basis of the guidance in ASC 970-323, the Company accounts for its investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the equity method. As a result, and in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-15 the specialized accounting treatment, principally the fair value basis applied by CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the investment company guide, is retained in the recognition of equity method earnings in the statement of operations of the Company. See Note 15 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” for further discussion of the application of the fair value accounting to our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.

Duke Joint Venture

On May 5, 2008, we entered into a contribution agreement with Duke Realty Limited Partnership (“Duke”), a subsidiary of Duke Realty Corporation (NYSE: DRE), to form the Duke joint venture to acquire $248,900,500 in industrial real property assets (the “Industrial Portfolio”). The Industrial Portfolio consists of six bulk industrial built-to-suit, fully leased properties. On September 12, 2008, we entered into an amendment to the contribution agreement to acquire a fully leased office building for $37,111,000 and to increase and revise the total purchase commitment to $282,400,000. We own an 80% interest and Duke owns a 20% interest in the Duke joint venture.

On June 12, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 10, 2008, the Duke joint venture acquired fee interests in seven properties pursuant to the contribution agreement. All of the properties acquired were new built-to-suit, 100% leased, single-tenant buildings that did not have an operating history. The Duke joint venture obtained financing from 40/86 Mortgage Capital, Inc. for each of the seven properties. The financings, totaling $150,000,000, carry an interest rate of 5.58%, a term of five years and are cross-collateralized among the properties. The seven buildings were completed in 2008.

On May 13, 2009, the Duke joint venture acquired each of (i) 22535 Colonial Pkwy., located at 22535 Colonial Pkwy., Katy, TX, a suburb of Houston, (ii) Celebration Office Center III, located at 1390 Celebration Blvd., Celebration, FL, a suburb of Orlando, and (iii) Fairfield Distribution Ctr. IX located 4543-4561 Oak Fair Blvd., Tampa FL. The Duke joint venture acquired 22535 Colonial Pkwy. for approximately $14,700,000, Celebration Office Center III for approximately $17,050,000 and Fairfield Distribution Ctr. IX for approximately $9,300,000, exclusive of customary closing costs which were both expensed as incurred. We made cash contributions totaling approximately $32,840,000 to the Duke joint venture in connection with these acquisitions, using the net proceeds from our current public offering.

On October 15, 2009, the Duke joint venture acquired Northpoint III, located at 3300 Exchange Place, Lake Mary, FL, a suburb of Orlando, for approximately $18,240,000, exclusive of customary closing costs and acquisition fees which were both expensed, as incurred. We made cash contributions totaling approximately $14,592,000 to the Duke joint venture in connection with the acquisition.

On December 7, 2009, the Duke joint venture acquired Goodyear Crossing Ind. Park II, located at 16920 W. Commerce Drive, Goodyear, AZ, a suburb of Phoenix, for approximately $45,645,000, exclusive of customary closing costs and acquisition fees which were both expensed as incurred. We made cash contributions of approximately $36,516,000 to the Duke joint venture in connection with the acquisition.

On March 31, 2010, the Duke joint venture acquired 3900 North Paramount Parkway, 3900 South Paramount Parkway and 1400 Perimeter Park Drive in Morrisville, NC, a suburb of Raleigh, for approximately $35,250,000, exclusive of customary closing costs and acquisition fees which are both expensed as incurred. We made contributions of approximately of $28,125,000 ($19,649,000 was made in cash and $8,476,000 in-kind as discussed below) to the Duke joint venture in connection with the acquisition.

On March 31, 2010, we contributed our Miramar I and Miramar II properties, located at 2300 and 2200 SW 145th Avenue in Miramar, FL, a suburb of Miami, to the Duke joint venture for approximately our cost of $42,650,000. Our cost of $42,650,000, of which $8,476,000 was considered an in-kind contribution by us to the Duke joint venture representing our 20% divestiture of the Miramar I and Miramar II properties, was part of a structured transaction as an offset to the $28,125,000 owed by us for our 80% share of the Duke joint venture’s purchase of 3900 North Paramount Parkway, 3900 South Paramount Parkway and 1400 Perimeter Park Drive.

As of June 30, 2010, the Duke joint venture has purchased approximately $465,766,000 of assets, exclusive of acquisition fees and closing costs, and holds interests in 17 properties, six located in Florida, three located in North Carolina, two located in Indiana, two located in Texas, two located in Arizona and one in each of Ohio and Tennessee.

For a period of three years from the date of the operating agreement, the Duke joint venture will have the right of first offer to acquire additional newly developed bulk industrial built-to-suit properties from Duke if such properties satisfy certain specified conditions. We will retain the right to approve the acquisition and purchase price of each such property. The total amount of properties (inclusive of the Industrial Portfolio) that may be contributed to the Duke joint venture over this period may be up to $800,000,000. As of June 30, 2010, we have no further required capital commitments to fund the Duke joint venture, but may continue to participate in future available properties at our discretion.

We carry our investment in the Duke joint venture on the equity method of accounting because it is an entity under common control with Duke. Those investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of such entities are accounted for using the equity method. We eliminate transactions with such equity method subsidiaries to the extent of our ownership in such entities.

Afton Ridge Joint Venture

On September 18, 2008, we acquired a 90% ownership interest in Afton Ridge, the owner of Afton Ridge Shopping Center, from unrelated third parties. CK Afton Ridge Shopping Center, LLC, a subsidiary of Childress Klein Properties, Inc. (“CK Afton Ridge”), retained a 10% ownership interest in Afton Ridge and continues to manage Afton Ridge Shopping Center. CK Afton Ridge acts as the managing member of Afton Ridge and is entitled to receive fees, including management, construction management and property management fees. We have joint approval rights over all major policy decisions.

Afton Ridge Shopping Center is located at the intersection of I-85 and Kannapolis Parkway, in Kannapolis, North Carolina. We acquired our ownership interest in Afton Ridge for approximately $45,000,000, exclusive of customary closing costs, which was funded using net proceeds from our initial public offering. Upon closing, we paid our Investment Advisor an acquisition fee of approximately $450,000. This acquisition fee is not included in the $45,000,000 total acquisition cost of Afton Ridge, but is included as additional cost basis at our wholly-owned investment subsidiary.

The purchase agreement with the seller contained a two year master lease agreement whereby rental revenues were guaranteed by the seller on the 9% unoccupied space at the date of the acquisition up to a maximum of $1,102,000. In addition, leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances were to be reimbursed under the purchase agreement up to $934,000 over the same two year period for leasing activities incurred by Afton Ridge to lease this unoccupied space. As of June 30, 2010, $691,000 in rental revenue guarantee payments and $521,000 in leasing commission and tenant reimbursement payments, respectively, have been received by Afton Ridge and treated as purchase price adjustments in the period when the contingency was resolved on the Afton Ridge standalone financial statements. Our pro rata share of such purchase price adjustments have been treated as a reduction of our investment in Afton Ridge.

Afton Ridge Shopping Center is a 470,288 square foot regional shopping center, completed in 2006, in which Afton Ridge owns 296,388 rentable square feet that is currently 95% leased. One of the shopping center’s anchors, a 173,900 square foot SuperTarget, is not owned by us. Additional anchor tenants in Afton Ridge Shopping Center are Best Buy, Marshalls, PetSmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Stein Mart and Ashley Furniture. Afton Ridge Shopping Center is the retail component of a 260 acre master planned mixed-use development.

On October 15, 2008, Afton Ridge obtained a $25,500,000 loan from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, secured by the Afton Ridge Shopping Center originally acquired on September 18, 2008. The loan is for a term of five years, plus a 12 month extension option, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.70%. Interest payments only are due monthly for the term of the loan with principal due at maturity.

We carry our investment in Afton Ridge on the equity method of accounting because it is an entity under common control with CK Afton Ridge. Those investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of such entities are accounted for using the equity method. We eliminate transactions with such equity investees to the extent of our ownership in such entities.

UK JV and European JV

On June 10, 2010, we entered into two joint ventures with subsidiaries of the Goodman Group (ASX: GMG), or Goodman, one of which will seek to invest in logistics focused warehouse/distribution properties in the United Kingdom, or the UK JV, and the other which will seek to invest in logistics focused warehouse/distribution properties in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany, or the European JV. We own an 80% interest in each joint venture and Goodman owns a 20% interest in each joint venture. The terms of each joint venture are described in more detail below.

UK JV

The shareholders’ agreement pertaining to the UK JV is by and among RT Princeton UK Holdings, LLC (our wholly-owned subsidiary), Goodman Jersey Holding Trust and Goodman Princeton Holdings (Jersey) Limited, the UK JV, for the purpose of acquiring and holding, either directly or indirectly, up to £400,000,000 in logistics focused warehouse/distribution properties. On June 10, 2010, we initially funded the UK J.V. with capital contributions of $26,180,000. The UK JV has acquired an initial portfolio of two properties, as described further in the table below, which were previously owned by a subsidiary of Goodman and which were purchased by the UK JV simultaneously with the closing of the UK JV.

During the investment period, the UK JV has a right of first offer, with respect to certain logistics development or logistics investment assets considered for investment in the UK by Goodman or us. If a deadlock has arisen pertaining to a major decision regarding a specific property, either shareholder may exercise a buy-sell option in relation to the relevant property. After the initial investment period, either shareholder wishing to exit the UK JV may exercise a buy-sell option.

The UK JV will pay certain fees to certain Goodman subsidiaries in connection with the services they provide to the UK JV, including but not limited to investment advisory, development management and property management services. Goodman may also be entitled to a promoted interest in the UK JV.

Notes Payable / Loans Payable

On April 27, 2007, we, in connection with the acquisition of 602 Central Blvd., entered into a £5,500,000 financing arrangement with the Royal Bank of Scotland secured by the property. The loan was for a term of seven years with interest at a variable rate, adjusted quarterly, based on three month GBP-based LIBOR plus 0.67%, per annum. On March 11, 2010, we paid off the £5,500,000 ($8,281,000 at March 11, 2010) loan and expensed certain closing costs plus the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with obtaining the loan totaling $73,000. The interest rate cap agreement was cancelled concurrent with the loan payoff.

In connection with our acquisition of the Carolina Portfolio on August 30, 2007, we assumed 13 loans with principal balances totaling $66,110,000 ($62,944,000 at estimated fair value including the discount of $3,166,000) from various lenders that are secured by first deeds of trust on the properties and the assignment of related rents and leases. Assumption fees and other loan closing costs totaling $765,500 were capitalized as incurred. The loans bear interest at rates ranging from 4.98% to 6.33% per annum and mature between March 1, 2013 and February 1, 2025. The loans require monthly payments of interest and principal, fully amortized over the lives of the loans. Principal payments totaling $1,868,000 were made during the six months ended June 30, 2010. We indemnify the lenders against environmental costs and expenses and guarantee the loans under certain conditions.

On May 30, 2008, we entered into a £7,500,000 ($11,205,000 at June 30, 2010) financing arrangement with the Royal Bank of Scotland plc secured by the Thames Valley Five property. The loan is for a term of five years (with a two year extension option) and bears interest at a variable rate adjusted quarterly, based on six month GBP-based LIBOR plus 1.01%. In addition, we incurred financing costs of approximately £67,000 ($100,000 at June 30, 2010) associated with obtaining this loan. On August 14, 2008, we entered into the interest rate swap agreement that fixed the GBP-based LIBOR rate at 5.41% plus 1.01% or 6.42% per annum as of June 30, 2010, and expires on May 30, 2013.

On October 10, 2008, we entered into a £5,771,000 ($8,621,000 at June 30, 2010) financing agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland plc secured by Albion Mills Retail Park property. The loan is for a term of five years and bears interest at a variable rate adjusted quarterly, based on six month GBP-based LIBOR plus 1.31%. In addition, we incurred financing costs of approximately £75,000 ($112,000 at June 30, 2010) associated with obtaining this loan. On November 25, 2008, we entered into the interest rate swap agreement that fixed the GBP-based LIBOR rate at 3.94% plus 1.31% or 5.25% per annum as of June 30, 2010 and expires on October 10, 2013. Interest only payments are due quarterly for the term of the loan with principal due at maturity.

On November 18, 2008, in connection with the acquisition of Avion Midrise III & IV, we assumed $20,851,000 ($22,186,000 face value less discount of $1,335,000) fixed rate mortgage loan from Capmark Finance, Inc. that bears interest at a rate of 5.52% per annum and matures on April 1, 2014. Principal and interest payments are due monthly for the remaining loan term and principal payments totaling $204,000 were made during the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, we incurred financing costs totaling $344,000 in conjunction with the assumption of the loan.

On August 5, 2009, in connection with the acquisition of 12650 Ingenuity Drive, we assumed a $12,572,000 ($13,539,000 face value less a discount of $967,000) fixed rate mortgage loan from PNC Bank, National Association that bears interest at a rate of 5.62% and matures on October 1, 2014. Principal and interest payments are due monthly for the remaining loan term and principal payments totaling $180,000 were made during the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, we incurred financing costs totaling $284,000 in conjunction with the assumption of the loan.

On August 10, 2009, we entered into a £13,975,000 ($20,879,000 at June 30, 2010) financing agreement with the Abbey National Treasury Services plc secured by the Maskew Retail Park property. On September 24, 2009, we drew the full amount of the loan and concurrently entered into an interest rate swap agreement that fixed the GBP-based LIBOR rate at 3.42% plus 2.26% or 5.68% per annum for the five-year term of the loan. Interest only payments are due quarterly for the term of the loan with principal due at maturity. In addition, we incurred financing costs of approximately £268,000 ($401,000 at June 30, 2010) associated with obtaining this loan.

On May 26, 2010, we entered into a $70,000,000 revolving credit facility through our subsidiaries with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The initial maturity date of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility is May 26, 2014, however we may extend the maturity date to May 26, 2015, subject to certain conditions. $15,000,000 of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility was initially drawn upon closing on May 26, 2010 and is included in Loans Payable on our consolidated balance sheet, with the remaining $55,000,000 available for disbursement during the term of the facility. We have the right to prepay any outstanding amount of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty at any time during the term of this Wells Fargo Credit Facility, however, we generally may not reduce the outstanding principal balance below a minimum outstanding amount of $15,000,000, without reducing the total $70,000,000 Wells Fargo Credit Facility capacity. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate of 300 basis points over the LIBOR, however the interest rate shall be at least 4.00% for any of the outstanding balance that is not subject to an interest rate swap with an initial term of at least two years. Upon closing on May 26, 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to effectively fix the interest rate on the initial $15,000,000 outstanding loan amount at 5.10% for the four-year term of the facility. The interest rate swap was designated as a qualifying cash flow hedge at the start date of the hedge relationship as described in Note 14 “Derivative Instruments.” The Wells Fargo Credit Facility is secured by our 13201 Wilfred, 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, 140 Depot Street, Crest Ridge Corporate Center I and West Point Trade Center properties. In addition, CBRE OP provides a limited guarantee for the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility is subject to certain customary financial covenants, including certain negative financial covenants, which we believe we were in compliance with as of May 26, 2010. A commitment fee of $1,050,000 was paid to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. at closing. We will also pay certain other customary fees in connection with the Wells Fargo Credit Facility including fees related to the unused loan amount, extension, administrative and other fees, the amount of which in some cases is subject to certain terms and conditions.

On June 24, 2010, we assumed two loans in connection with the acquisition of One Wayside Road (i) $14,888,000 ($14,633,000 at face value plus a premium of $255,000) fixed rate mortgage loan from State Farm Life Insurance Company that bears interest at a rate of 5.66% and matures on August 1, 2015 and (ii) $12,479,000 ($12,132,000 at face value plus a premium of $347,000) fixed rate mortgage loan from State Farm Life Insurance Company that bears interest at a rate of 5.92% and matures on August 1, 2015. Principal and interest payments are due monthly for the remaining loan terms and principal payments totaling $48,000 were made during June 2010 on the two loans. In addition, we incurred financing costs totaling $342,000 in conjunction with the assumption of the loan.

On August 8, 2008, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), which amended the terms of our prior credit agreement with Bank of America, to provide us with a new $45,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and to replace our prior Bank of America term loan and revolving credit facility which matured in August 2008. The new Revolving Credit Facility was fully drawn upon at closing, with such proceeds utilized to pay down the full $45,000,000 amount outstanding under our prior Bank of America term loan (as of August 8, 2008, no amount was outstanding under our prior $10,000,000 Bank of America revolving credit facility). The new Revolving Credit Facility matures in August 2010 and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.75%, based upon our leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement (at our current leverage ratio, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%). An upfront fee of $292,500 was paid to Bank of America, and a fee equal to the actual daily amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed the total outstanding (both as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement) times 0.20% per annum if the total outstandings are equal to or more than 50% of the aggregate commitments, or 0.25% per annum otherwise, is accrued on unfunded balances under the Revolving Credit Facility. The loan contains various financial covenants and restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.75 to 1.00, as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement. As of June 30, 2010, there was no amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility matured on August 8, 2010 in accordance with its terms.

Our organizational documents contain a limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur, so that unless our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, our aggregate borrowing may not exceed 300% of our net assets unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent trustees and is disclosed to shareholders in our next quarterly report.

9. Segment Disclosure

Our reportable segments consist of three types of commercial real estate properties, namely, Domestic Industrial Properties, Domestic Office Properties and International Office/Retail Properties. Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of our segments based on net operating income. We also have certain general and administrative level activities including legal, accounting, tax preparation and shareholder servicing costs that are not considered separate operating segments. Our reportable segments are on the same basis of accounting as described in Note 2—“Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on net operating income, defined as: rental income and tenant reimbursements less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance, property management fees, property level general and administrative expenses and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and our general and administrative expenses. The following table compares the net operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

10. Investment Management and Other Fees to Related Parties

Pursuant to the agreement between our company, CBRE OP and the Investment Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Investment Advisor and its affiliates perform services relating to our ongoing public offering and the management of our assets. Items of compensation and equity participation are as follows:

Offering Costs Relating to Public Offerings

Offering costs totaling $13,522,000 and $8,153,000, $24,936,000 and $13,292,000 were incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. Of the total amounts, $13,464,000, $8,102,000, $24,833,000 and $13,219,000 were incurred to CNL Securities Corp., as dealer manager and $58,000, $52,000, $103,000 and $73,000 were incurred to the Investment Advisor for reimbursable marketing for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Each party will be paid the amount incurred from proceeds of the public offering. As of June 30, 2010 and December 2009 the accrued offering costs payable to related parties included in our consolidated balance sheets were $1,192,000 and $1,114,000.

Investment Management Fee to Related Party

Prior to October 24, 2006, the Investment Advisor received an annual fee equal to 0.75% of the book value of the total assets, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, based on the assets of CBRE OP. The investment management fee was calculated monthly based on the average of total assets, as defined, during such period. On October 24, 2006, the Board of Trustees, including our independent trustees, approved and the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of CBRE OP (the “Amended Partnership Agreement”) and the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Amended Partnership Agreement, the “Amended Agreements”). The Amended Advisory Agreement provides an investment management fee of (i) a monthly fee equal to one twelfth of 0.6% of the aggregate cost (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investments within our portfolio and (ii) a monthly fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real estate investments within our portfolio. On January 30, 2009, we entered into that certain second amended and restated advisory agreement (the “Second Amended Advisory Agreement”) with CBRE OP and the Investment Advisor. The Second Amended Advisory Agreement modified, among other things, the investment management fee to consist of (a) a monthly fee equal to one twelfth of 0.5% of the aggregate costs (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investment in our portfolio and (b) a monthly fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real estate investments in our portfolio. All or any portion of the investment management fee not taken as to any fiscal year may be deferred or waived without interest at the option of the Investment Advisor.

The Investment Advisor earned investment management fees of $2,687,000 and $1,783,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively; and $5,118,000 and $3,486,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

11. Equity Incentive Plan and Performance Bonus Plan

Equity Incentive Plan

We have adopted a 2004 equity incentive plan. The purpose of the 2004 equity incentive plan is to provide us with the flexibility to use share options and other awards to provide a means of performance-based compensation. Our key employees, directors, trustees, officers, advisors, consultants or other personnel and our subsidiaries or other persons expected to provide significant services or our subsidiaries, including employees of the Investment Advisor, would be eligible to be granted share options, restricted shares, phantom shares, distribution equivalent rights and other share-based awards under the 2004 equity incentive plan. On April 20, 2010, the board’s independent trustees, Charles E. Black, Martin A. Reid and James M. Orphanides were awarded equity grants by the Company under the 2004 equity incentive plan on the following terms: (i) each award was for $80,000 in common shares of the Trust (or 8,000 shares at $10.00 per share) for a total of $240,000; (ii) each award vested in its entirety, upon issuance; and (iii) the independent trustee would not be able to redeem any of the common shares prior to the third anniversary of date of issuance, but retains the rights to dividends declared and paid during such restriction period. We recognized a stock based compensation expense of $240,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of granting these awards to our independent trustees.

Performance Bonus Plan

We have adopted a 2004 performance bonus plan. Annual bonuses under our 2004 performance bonus plan are awarded by our Compensation Committee to selected key employees, including employees of the Investment Advisor, based on corporate factors or individual factors (or a combination of both). Subject to the provisions of the 2004 performance bonus plan, the Compensation Committee will (i) determine and designate those key employees to whom bonuses are to be granted; (ii) determine, consistently with the 2004 performance bonus plan, the amount of the bonus to be granted to any key employee for any performance period; and (iii) determine, consistently with the 2004 performance bonus plan, the terms and conditions of each bonus. Bonuses may be so awarded by the Compensation Committee prior to the commencement of any performance period, during or after any performance period. No bonus shall exceed 200% of the key employee’s aggregate salary for the year. The Compensation Committee may provide for partial bonus payments at target and other levels. Corporate performance hurdles for bonuses may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee in its discretion to reflect (i) dilution from corporate acquisitions and share offerings, and (ii) changes in applicable accounting rules and standards. The Compensation Committee may determine that bonuses shall be paid in cash or shares or other equity-based grants, or a combination thereof. The Compensation Committee may also provide that any such share grants be made under our 2004 equity incentive plan or any other equity-based plan or program we may establish. The Compensation Committee may provide for programs under which the payment of bonuses may be deferred at the election of the employee. No bonuses were awarded and no bonus related expenses were incurred by us during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

12. Shareholders’ Equity

Under our declaration of trust, we have the authority to issue a total of 1,000,000,000 shares of beneficial interest. Of the total shares authorized, 990,000,000 shares are designated as common shares with a par value of $0.01 per share and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred shares.

The registration statement relating to our initial public offering was declared effective by the SEC on October 24, 2006. CNL Securities Corp. acted as the dealer manager of this offering. The registration statement covered up to $2,000,000,000 in common shares of beneficial interest, 90% of which were offered at a price of $10.00 per share, and 10% of which were offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date, as determined by the Investment Advisor, or another firm we choose for that purpose. As of January 29, 2009, we had issued 60,808,967 common shares in our initial public offering. We terminated the initial public offering effective as of the close of business on January 29, 2009. The registration statement relating to our follow-on public offering was declared effective by the SEC on January 30, 2009. CNL Securities Corp. is the dealer manager of this offering. The registration statement covers up to $3,000,000,000 in common shares of beneficial interest, 90% of which will be offered at a price of $10.00 per share, and 10% of which will be offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date, as determined by the Investment Advisor, or another firm we choose for that purpose. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares between the primary offering and our dividend reinvestment plan. From January 30, 2009 (effective date) through June 30, 2010, we received gross offering proceeds of approximately $728,540,691 from the sale of 72,998,556 shares.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we repurchased 845,178 common shares, and 732,311 common shares, respectively, under our Share Redemption Program for $7,673,000 and $6,519,000, respectively.

13. Distributions

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to shareholders, will differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal income tax purposes including the treatment of loss on extinguishment of debt, revenue recognition, compensation expense and in the basis of depreciable assets and estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.

The following table reconciles the distributions declared per common share to the distributions paid per common share during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Based on three month GBP-based LIBOR BBA Index with variable rate reset dates every 90 days during the term of swaps.

We marked our two non-qualifying economic hedge interest rate swap instruments to their estimated fair value of ($1,802,000) and ($1,410,000) on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 included in Liabilities as Interest Rate Swaps at Fair Value. We recognized a loss on interest rate swaps of $503,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus a gain of $357,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included in Loss on Interest Rate Swaps and Cap on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Our $20,879,000 notional amount interest rate swap has been designated as a qualifying cash flow hedge of the LIBOR base payments due under our Maskew Retail Park variable rate note payable from its inception on September 24, 2009. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap value of ($1,190,000) and ($293,000) as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, has resulted in a swap fair value adjustment being recorded to other comprehensive loss totaling $897,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. There was no measured ineffectiveness for the qualifying hedge during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Our $15,000,000 notional amount interest rate swap has been designated as a qualifying cash flow hedge of the LIBOR base payments due under our Wells Fargo Credit Facility variable rate loan payable from its inception on May 26, 2010. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap value of ($326,000) and $0 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, has resulted in a swap fair value adjustment being recorded to other comprehensive loss totaling $326,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. There was no measured ineffectiveness for the qualifying hedge during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

As discussed in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” all of our derivative instruments are used as economic hedges to swap identified variable rate debt interest payments to fixed rate payments through the use of interest rate swap agreements. Our Maskew Retail Park and Wells Fargo Credit Facility hedges are our only qualifying cash flow hedges in accordance with the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Further disclosures regarding our derivative financial instruments are included in Note 15 (Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments) of these consolidated financial statements.

15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments

We apply the three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical financial instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. We have classified the Albion Mills Retail Park notes payable as Level 3 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 due to the lack of current market activity and our reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of the mortgage note payable.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we held certain items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included cash equivalents, an interest rate cap, interest rate swap derivative contracts and our equity method investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments, all of which have maturities of 90 days or less, including money market funds and U.S. Government obligations. Derivative instruments are related to our economic hedging activities with respect to interest rates.

The fair values of the interest rate cap and swap derivative agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rate fell above the strike rate of the interest rate cap agreement, and by discounting the future expected cash payments and receipts on the pay and receive legs of the interest rate swap agreements that swap the estimated variable rate mortgage note payment stream for a fixed rate payment stream over the period of the loan. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate cap agreement and on the interest rate swap agreements are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements (where appropriate). Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believe we have obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts we hold.

Our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is based on the Level 3 valuation inputs applied by the Investment Manager of this investment company utilizing the following approaches for valuing the underlying real estate related investments within the investment company:

 

  ¡  

The income approach is generally based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Such an analysis for a real property includes projecting net cash flows from the property from a buyer’s perspective and computing the present value of the cash flows using a market discount rate. The cash flows include a projection of the net sales proceeds at the end of our estimate of a market participant holding period, computed using market reversionary capitalization rates and projected cash flows from the property for the year following the holding period.

 

  ¡  

The replacement cost approach to property valuation is a theoretical breakdown of the property into land and building components. The theory is that the value of a property can be estimated by summing the land value and the depreciated value of any improvements. While the replacement cost of the improvements can be determined by adding the labor, material, and other costs, land values must be derived from an analysis of comparable data. The cost approach is considered reliable when used on newer structures, but the method tends to become less reliable for older properties.

 

  ¡  

For investments owned more than one year, except for investments under construction or incurring significant renovation, it is CBRE Strategic Partners Asia’s policy to obtain a third-party appraisal. For investments in real estate under construction or incurring significant renovation, the valuation analysis is prepared by the Investment Manager.

Disclosure of Fair Value Financial Instruments

Note Payable at Fair Value

   $ 8,374    $ 8,974    $ 8,374    $ 8,974

For purposes of this fair value disclosure, we based our fair value estimate for notes payable on our internal valuation that includes a representative sample of our lenders’ market interest rate quotes as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 for debt with similar risk characteristics and maturities. We based the Note Payable carried at fair value on a third party appraiser’s valuation which used similar techniques as our internal valuation model as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

16. Fair Value Option—Note Payable

During the fourth quarter of 2008 we elected to apply the fair value option on a note payable which bears interest at a variable rate and is currently subject to an economic hedge by an interest rate swap with similar terms and the same notional amount. We have elected to apply the fair value option on the Albion Mills Retail Park variable rate note payable to match the fair value treatment of interest rate swap derivative on the same note payable thereby achieving a reduction in the artificial volatility in net income or loss that occurs when related financial assets and liabilities are measured and reported on a different basis in the consolidated financial statements.

We applied the fair value option for the Albion Mills Retail Park note payable at each reporting period. Included in loss on notes payable at fair value in the statement of operations were $5,000 and $128,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $78,000 and $693,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, there were ($677,000) and $916,000 translation (gains) and losses recorded to Other Comprehensive Loss at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

We have agreed to a capital commitment of up to $20,000,000 in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, which extends to January 31, 2011. As of June 30, 2010, we funded $12,097,000 of our capital commitment. CBRE Investors, our sponsor, formed CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, to purchase, reposition, develop, hold for investment and sell institutional quality real estate and related assets in targeted markets in China, Japan, India, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and other Asia Pacific markets. If we and all other currently committed capital investors had funded our entire commitments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia as of June 30, 2010, we would have owned an ownership interest of approximately 5.07% in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. A majority of our trustees (including a majority of our independent trustees) not otherwise interested in this transaction approved the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable. CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is managed by CB Richard Ellis Investors SP Asia II, LLC or the Fund Manager, a subsidiary of CBRE Investors.

On June 10, 2010, the European JV entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire, subject to customary closing conditions, 85146 Langenbach (“Langenbach”), located in Lagenbach, Germany, a suburb of Munich. The European JV will acquire Lagenbach for approximately $19,450,951, exclusive of customary closing costs. We own an 80% interest in the European JV and Goodman owns a 20% interest. We expect to fund our pro rata share of the acquisition using the net proceeds from our current public offering. Lagenbach, scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2010, will be a 225,106 square foot, warehouse/distribution center with no operating history. We expect that the property will be 100% leased to a subsidiary of DSV Road Holding A/S, or DSV, to be utilized as a logistics facility through July 2015. DSV is a global third-party logistics services company. While the European JV expects this acquisition to close during the third quarter of 2010, the agreement to acquire the property is subject to certain contingencies and there can be no assurance that the acquisition will occur.

On June 23, 2010, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire, subject to customary closing conditions, Millers Ferry Road, located at Millers Ferry Road and Mars Road in Wilmer, TX, a suburb of Dallas. We will acquire Millers Ferry Road for

approximately $44,000,000, exclusive of customary closing costs. We anticipate that the acquisition will be funded using the net proceeds from our current public offering. Millers Ferry Road, scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2011, will be a 1,020,000 square foot, warehouse/distribution center with no operating history. We expect that the property will be 100% leased to Whirlpool Corporation to be utilized as a regional distribution center through December 2020. Whirlpool Corporation is a leading global manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances. While we anticipate this acquisition will close during the second quarter of 2011, the agreement to acquire the property is subject to a number of contingencies, including, but not limited to, substantial completion of the construction of the property and acceptance by the tenant of the space and therefore there can be no assurances that this acquisition will occur.

Litigation—From time to time, we and our properties may be subject to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Currently, neither our company nor any of our properties are subject to, or threatened with, any legal proceedings for which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Environmental Matters—We are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

19. Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we generally distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). It is our current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level U.S. federal income tax on net income we distribute currently to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any (see Note 2 “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for a further discussion of income taxes).

On March 31, 2009, the Carolina TRS was dissolved. We had made a taxable REIT subsidiary election for all held for sale properties during the tax years beginning January 1, 2007. On September 30, 2008 all held for sale properties were reclassified as held for investment and transferred to CBRE OP.

ASC 740 Income Taxes (formerly SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”) requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.

Included as a component of our tax provision, we have incurred income and other taxes (franchise, local and state government and international) related to our continuing operations in the amount of $70,000 and $58,000, $85,000 and $87,000 for California, Georgia, Minnesota, Texas and North Carolina impacting our operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The United Kingdom taxes real property operating results at a statutory rate of 22%. The United Kingdom taxable losses to date have generated a deferred tax asset of approximately $316,000 consisting of these net operating loss carryforwards. We have provided for a full valuation allowance of ($316,000) as of six months ended June 30, 2010 on deferred tax assets because it is not likely that future operating profits in the United Kingdom would be sufficient to absorb the net operating losses.

20. Subsequent Events

From July 1, 2010 through August 6, 2010, we received gross proceeds from our current public offering of approximately $65,784,736 from the sale of 6,622,631 common shares.

On July 6, 2010, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire, subject to customary closing conditions, 100 Tice Blvd., located at 100 Tice Blvd. in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, a suburb of New York City. We will acquire 100 Tice Blvd. for approximately $67,600,000, of which approximately $42,600,000 will be paid by assuming an existing mortgage loan held by Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company and Principal Life Insurance Company. We anticipate that the remainder of the purchase price will be funded using the net proceeds from our current public offering. 100 Tice Blvd. is a 208,911 square foot office building that is 100% leased to Eisai Inc. through December 2021 and is used as Eisai’s North American headquarters. Eisai Inc. is the U.S. operating subsidiary of the Japanese company Eisai Co., Ltd. Eisai Inc. is a producer of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and cancers. While we anticipate this acquisition to close during the third quarter of 2010, the agreement to acquire the property is subject to a number of contingencies and therefore there can be no assurances that this acquisition will occur.

On July 27, 2010, we contributed an additional $507,000 of our CBRE Strategic Partners Asia capital commitment which was funded using net proceeds from our current public offering.

Overview

We are a Maryland real estate investment trust that invests in real estate properties, focusing on office, retail, industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and multi-family residential properties, as well as other real estate-related assets. We may also utilize our expertise and resources to capitalize on unique opportunities that may exist elsewhere in the marketplace, in which we might also acquire interests in mortgages or other investments where we could seek to acquire the underlying property. We will not invest more than 20% of our total assets in any single investment. We intend to invest primarily in properties located in geographically-diverse major metropolitan areas in the United States. In addition, we currently intend to invest up to 30% of our total assets in properties outside of the United States. Our international investments may be in markets in which CBRE Investors has existing operations or previous investment experience, or may be in partnership with other entities that have significant local-market expertise. We expect that our international investments will focus on properties typically located in significant business districts and suburban markets.

As of June 30, 2010, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 62 office, retail, and industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) properties located in 11 states (California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom, encompassing approximately 9,086,000 rentable square feet, as well as one undeveloped land parcel in Georgia. In addition, we have ownership interests in five unconsolidated entities that, as of June 30, 2010, owned interests in 30 properties. Excluding those properties owned through our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, we owned on an unconsolidated basis, 22 industrial, office and retail properties located in seven states (Arizona, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) and in the United Kingdom and Europe encompassing approximately 8,633,000 rentable square feet.

We commenced operations in July 2004, following an initial private placement of our common shares of beneficial interest. We raised aggregate net proceeds (after commissions and expenses) of approximately $55,500,000 from July 2004 to October 2004 in private placements of our common shares. On October 24, 2006, we commenced an initial public offering of up to $2,000,000,000 in our common shares.

Our initial public offering was terminated effective as of the close of business on January 29, 2009. As of the close of business on January 29, 2009, we had sold a total of 60,808,967 common shares in the initial public offering, including 1,487,943 common shares which were issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received $607,345,702 in gross proceeds. We withdrew from registration a total of 140,243,665 common shares that were registered but not sold in connection with the initial public offering.

The registration statement relating to our follow-on public offering was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 30, 2009. CNL Securities Corp. is the dealer manager of our offering. The registration statement covers up to $3,000,000,000 in common shares of beneficial interest, 90% of which will be offered at a price of $10.00 per share, and 10% of which will be offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date, as determined by the Investment Advisor, or another firm we choose for that purpose. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares between the primary offering and our dividend reinvestment plan. From January 30, 2009 (effective date) through June 30, 2010, we received gross offering proceeds of approximately $728,540,691 from the sale of 72,998,556 shares.

We are externally managed by CBRE Advisors LLC (the “Investment Advisor”), and all of our real estate investments are held directly by, or indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries of, CBRE Operating Partnership, L.P., (the “CBRE OP”). Generally, we contribute the

proceeds we receive from the issuance of common shares for cash to CBRE OP and CBRE OP, in turn, issues units of limited partnership to us, which entitle us to receive our share of CBRE OP’s earnings or losses and net cash flow. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to pay our shareholders quarterly cash dividends. We are structured in a manner that allows CBRE OP to issue limited partnership interests from time to time in exchange for real estate properties. By structuring our acquisitions in this manner, the contributors of real estate to CBRE OP are generally able to defer gain recognition for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, (“REIT”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, our company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of income that is distributed to shareholders if at least 90% of our company’s REIT taxable income is distributed to our shareholders.

Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value through: (1) maintaining an experienced management team of investment professionals; (2) investing in properties in certain markets where property fundamentals will support stable income returns and where capital appreciation is expected to be above average; (3) acquiring properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is expected positive rent growth; and (4) repositioning properties to increase their value in the market place. Operating results at our individual properties are impacted by the supply and demand for office, retail, industrial and multifamily space, trends of the national regional economies, the financial health of current and prospective tenants and their customers, capital and credit market trends, construction costs, and interest rate movements. Individual operating property performance is monitored and calculated using certain non-GAAP financial measures such as an analysis of net operating income. An analysis of net operating income as compared to local regional and national statistics may provide insight into short or longer term trends exclusive of capital markets or capital structuring issues. Interest rates are a critical factor in our results of operations. Our properties may be financed with significant amounts of debt, so changes in interest rates may affect both net income and the health of capital markets. For investments outside of the United States, in addition to monitoring local property market fundamentals and capital and credit market trends, we evaluate currency hedging strategies, taxes, the stability of the local government and economy and the experience of our management team in the region.

Beginning in the second half of 2007, U.S. economic activity weakened due initially to stresses in the residential housing and financial sectors. The weak economic environment continued through 2008 and 2009, and the timing of a full economic recovery remains uncertain at this time. The currently-weak economic environment may result in declining demand for office, industrial and retail space, increasing tenant bankruptcies, lower average occupancy rates and effective rents, including potentially in our real estate portfolio which may impact our net income, funds from operations and cash flow.

Additionally, during the first half of 2009, the capital markets experienced significant distress during which many financial industry participants, including commercial real estate owners, operators, investors and lenders, found it challenging to obtain cost-effective debt capital to finance new investment activity or to refinance maturing debt. Since then, however, we have found that the capital market environment has continued to improve. This has driven a limited resumption of commercial real estate transaction activity and demand, which has however been concentrated on the highest quality, well-leased and well-located properties.

The table below provides information relating to our properties, excluding those owned through our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, as of June 30, 2010. We purchased all of these properties from unaffiliated third parties. These properties are subject to competition from similar properties within their market areas and their economic performance could be affected by changes in local economic conditions. In evaluating these properties for acquisition, we considered a variety of factors including location, functionality and design, price per square foot, the credit worthiness of tenants, length of lease terms, market fundamentals and the in-place rental rates compared to market rates.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management believes our most critical accounting policies are accounting for lease revenues (including straight-line rent), regular evaluation of whether the value of a real estate asset has been impaired, real estate purchase price allocations and accounting for our derivatives and hedging activities, if any. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical data and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. In spite of intensive leasing efforts and preliminary interest exhibited by a variety of tenants since our acquisition in 2008, the Kings Mountain III property remains vacant. Due to the currently challenging economic environment, we recognized impairment for our consolidated investment in Kings Mountain III in the amount of $9,160,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 which reduced our carrying value of the property to $15,300,000. The impairment reflects our estimates of the fair value of the Kings Mountain III property which is based on an appraisal using the sales comparable method which is a Level 3 Valuation Method as described in Note 15 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments.” No impairment for consolidated investments was recognized during six months ended June 30, 2010.

Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables

All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. In connection with various leases, we have received irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling $6,535,000 and $6,785,000 as security for such leases at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis, when we are the primary obligor with respect to incurring expenses and with respect to having the credit risk.

Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. Management’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowances are increased or decreased through the provision for bad debts. The allowance for uncollectible rent receivable was $237,000 and $183,000 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we wrote off $310,000 of the uncollectible rent receivables for the tenant Randal C. Espey at the Deerfield Commons I property, tenants Cell Arch Technologies, Inc. and Keogh Consulting, Inc. at the Lakeside Office Center, and the tenant Romeo Rim, Inc. at the Cherokee Corporate Park. $363,000 of allowance for doubtful accounts was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, the unamortized tangible and intangible asset balances totaling $27,000 were also written off during the six months ended June 30, 2010, of which ($10,000), $5,000, $8,000 and $24,000 are related to above/below market leases, lease commissions, tenant improvements and in place lease value, respectively.

Investments in Real Estate

We record investments in real estate at cost (including third-party acquisition expenses) and we capitalize improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. We expense costs of repairs and maintenance as incurred. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of our real estate assets, which we expect to be approximately 39 years for buildings and improvements, three to five years for equipment and fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

Table of Contents

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because, if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis throughout the expected useful lives of the related assets.

We have adopted, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“FASB ASC 360-10),” which establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets including discontinued operations. This accounting provision requires that the operations related to properties that have been sold or that we intend to sell be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and properties we intend to sell be designated as “held for sale” on our balance sheet.

When circumstances such as adverse market conditions indicate a possible impairment of the value of a property, we review the recoverability of the property’s carrying value. The review of recoverability is based on our estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. Our forecast of these cash flows considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. These factors contain subjectivity and thus are not able to be precisely estimated. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate

We apply the acquisition method to all acquired real estate investments. The purchase consideration of the real estate is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, value of tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease), site improvements, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.

In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values 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 and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases and any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the initial terms of the prospective leases.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease value and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value for the real estate acquired as such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. Should future acquisitions of properties result in allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, an amount would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written-off.

Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Held for Sale

In a period in which a property has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the statements of operations for current and prior periods report the results of operations of the property as discontinued operations.

At such time as a property is deemed held for sale, such property is carried at the lower of: (1) its carrying amount or (2) fair value less costs to sell. In addition, a property being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. We classify operating properties as property held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

 

  ¡  

management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset;

 

  ¡  

the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;

 

  ¡  

an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset has been initiated;

 

  ¡  

the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year;

 

  ¡  

the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and

 

  ¡  

given the actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset, it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan would be made or that the plan would be withdrawn.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we did not have any properties held for sale.

Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities

All of our derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Calculation of a fair value of derivative instruments also requires management to use estimates. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. The changes in fair value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the corresponding amount recorded in current period earnings. We have certain interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and follow the accounting treatment discussed above. We also have certain interest rate swap derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly, changes in fair values are recognized in current earnings.

We disclose the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. We also provide more information about our liquidity by disclosing derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, we cross-reference within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Our determination of the appropriate accounting method with respect to our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. (“CBRE Strategic Partners Asia”), which is not considered a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), is partly based on CBRE Strategic Partners Asia’s sufficiency of equity investment at risk which was triggered by a substantial paydown during 2009 of its subscription line of credit backed by investor capital commitments to fund its operations. We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting.

We determine if an entity is a VIE based on several factors, including whether the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. In a quantitative analysis, we incorporate various estimates, including estimated future cash flows, asset hold periods and discount rates, as well as estimates of the probabilities of various scenarios occurring. If the entity is a VIE, we then determine whether we consolidate the entity as the

Table of Contents

primary beneficiary. We determine whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates in these evaluations, it could result in differing conclusions as to whether or not an entity is a VIE and whether or not we consolidate such entity.

With respect to our majority limited membership interest in the Duke/Hulfish, LLC joint venture (the “Duke joint venture”), the Afton Ridge Joint Venture, LLC (“Afton Ridge”), the Goodman Princeton Holdings (Jersey) Limited joint venture (the “UK JV”) and the Goodman Princeton Holdings (LUX) SARL joint venture (the “European JV”) we considered the Codification Topic “Consolidation” (“FASB ASC 810”) in determining that we did not have control over the financial and operating decisions of such entities due to the existence of substantive participating rights held by the minority limited members who are also the managing members of the Duke joint venture and Afton Ridge, and the investment advisors/managers of the UK JV and European JV, respectively.

We carry our investments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, the Duke joint venture, Afton Ridge, the UK JV and the European JV on the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of each such entity. We eliminate transactions with such equity method entities to the extent of our ownership in each such entity. Accordingly, our share of net income (loss) of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net income (loss). CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is a limited partnership that qualifies for specialized industry accounting for investment companies. Specialized industry accounting allows investment companies to carry their investments at fair value, with changes in the fair value of the investments recorded in the statement of operations. On the basis of the guidance in ASC 970-323 the Company accounts for its investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the equity method. As a result, and in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-15 the specialized accounting treatment, principally fair value basis, applied by CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the investment company guide is retained in the recognition of equity method earnings in the statement of operations of the Company. See Note 15 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” for further discussion of the application of the fair value accounting to our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires us 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with our taxable period ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains) adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to our shareholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes if we distribute 100% of our taxable income for each year to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. Except as discussed in Note 2 “Basis of Presentation in Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Income Taxes,” we believe that we have met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Management intends to continue to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments

We elected to apply the fair value option for one of our eligible mortgage notes payable that was newly issued debt during the year ended December 31, 2008. The measurement of the elected mortgage note payable at its fair value and its impact on the statement of operations is described in Notes 15 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” and Note 16 “Fair Value Option—Note Payable.”

We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using the appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow. The Investment Manager of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia applies valuation techniques for our investment carried at fair value based upon the application of the income approach, the replacement cost approach or third party appraisals to the underlying assets held in the unconsolidated entity in determining the

net asset value attributable to our ownership interest therein. The financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements are the two interest rate swaps, one interest rate cap, our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia (a real estate entity which qualifies as an investment company under the Investment Company Act) and one mortgage note payable that is economically hedged by one of the interest rate swaps.

The remaining financial assets and liabilities which are only disclosed at fair value are comprised of all other notes payable, the unsecured line of credit and other debt instruments. We determined the fair value of our secured notes payable and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

We adopted the fair value measurement criteria described herein for our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the fair value measurement criteria to our non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities typically recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include:

 

  ¡  

Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition or business combination;

 

  ¡  

Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment assessment and

 

  ¡  

Asset retirement obligations initially measured under the Codification Topic “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (“FASB ASC 410”).

Non-controlling (Minority) Interests in the Operating Partnership

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB ASC 810. The new accounting provisions require that amounts formerly reported as minority interests in our consolidated financial statements be reported as non-controlling interests. In connection with the issuance of this adoption, certain revisions were also made to the. Codification Topic “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A”). These revisions clarify that non-controlling interests with redemption provisions outside of the control of the issuer and non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer are subject to evaluation to determine the appropriate balance sheet classification and measurement of such instruments.

With respect to the operating partnership units, FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A requires non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer to be further evaluated under the Codification Sub-Topic “Derivatives and Hedging—Conditions Necessary for Equity Classification” (“FASB ASC 815-40-25-10”) (Paragraphs 815-40-25-39 through 815-40-25-42) to determine whether permanent equity or temporary equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the operating partnership units contain such a provision, the Company evaluated this guidance and determined that the operating partnership units do not meet the requirements to qualify for equity presentation. As a result, upon the adoption of FASB ASC 810 and the related revisions to FASB ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the operating partnership units are presented in the temporary equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and reported at the higher of their proportionate share of the net assets of CBRE OP or fair value, with period to period changes in value reported as an adjustment to shareholder’s equity. Under the terms of the second amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of CBRE OP (the “Second Amended Partnership Agreement”) the fair value of the operating partnership units is determined as an amount equal to the redemption value as defined therein.

Operating Property Acquisitions

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 805 which requires an acquiring entity to recognize acquired assets and assumed liabilities in a transaction at fair value as of the acquisition date and changes the accounting treatment for certain items, including acquisition costs, which is required to be expensed as incurred. The provision of “Business Combinations” is required to be applied on a prospective basis.

The adoption of the provisions of the FASB ASC 805 could have an impact on the cost allocation of future acquisitions and requires us to expense acquisition costs for future property acquisitions. The adoption of the provisions of the new accounting standard FASB ASC 805 had an effect on our consolidated financial statements, results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. We expensed $4,841,000 and $998,000, $5,219,000 and $998,000 of acquisition costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Subsequent Events

Effective for the second quarter of 2009, we adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 855-10—Subsequent Events (“FASB ASC 855-10”), as amended by Accounting Standard Update 2010-09. ASC 855-10 establishes principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed in the financial statements. The adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In preparing our accompanying financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through the financial statement issuance date.

Adoption of Accounting Standards

Consolidations

In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” which incorporates Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” issued by the FASB in June 2009. The amendments in ASU 2009-17 replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a VIE with an approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance and (i) the obligation to absorb losses of such entity or (ii) the right to receive benefits from such entity. ASU 2009-17 also requires additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in VIEs, which enhances the information provided to users of financial statements. We adopted ASU 2009-17 effective January 1, 2010. As a result of the fact that we have no variable interests in VIEs, the adoption of ASU 2009-17 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 which was an update to the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). ASU 2010-06 clarifies disclosure requirements relating to the level of disaggregation of disclosures relating to classes of assets and liabilities and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value estimates for Level 2 or Level 3 assets and liabilities. These requirements of ASU 2010-06 are effective for interim and annual disclosures for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of these requirements of the ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

ASU 2010-06 also requires additional disclosures regarding the transfers of classifications among the fair value classification levels as well as the reasons for those changes and a separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the presentation of the roll-forward of Level 3 assets and liabilities. Those disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this portion of ASU 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Treatment of Management Compensation, Expense Reimbursements

Management of our operations is conducted by the Investment Advisor. Fees related to services provided by our Investment Advisor are accounted for based on the nature of such service and the relevant accounting literature. Fees for services performed that represent our period costs, such as cash payments for investment management fees paid to the Investment Advisor, are expensed as incurred. In addition, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor owns a partnership interest which represents a profits interest in CBRE OP related to these services.

Subject to certain limitations, we are obligated to reimburse the Investment Advisor for the organizational and offering costs incurred on our behalf. This treatment is consistent with Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, Topic 1.B.1, which requires that we include all of the costs associated with our operations and formation in our financial statements. These costs will then be analyzed and segregated between those which are organizational in nature, those which are offering-related salaries and other general and administrative expenses of the Investment Advisor and its affiliates, and those which qualify as offering expenses in accordance with SAB Topic 5.A. Organizational costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities.” Offering-related salaries and other general and administrative costs of the Investment Advisor and its affiliates will be expensed as incurred and third-party offering expenses will be taken as a reduction against the net proceeds of the offering within additional paid-in capital (“APIC”), in accordance with SAB Topic 5.A.

Offering costs totaling $13,522,000 and $8,153,000, $24,936,000 and $13,292,000 were incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction of APIC in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. Of the total amounts, $13,464,000, $8,102,000, $24,833,000 and $13,219,000 were incurred to CNL Securities Corp., as dealer manager, and $58,000, $52,000, $103,000 and $73,000 were incurred to the Investment Advisor for reimbursable marketing expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Each party will be paid the amount incurred from proceeds of the public offering. As of June 30, 2010 and December 2009, the accrued offering costs payable to related parties included in our consolidated balance sheet were $1,192,000 and $1,114,000.

Prior to October 24, 2006, the Investment Advisor received an annual fee equal to 0.75% of the book value of the total assets, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, based on the assets of CBRE OP. The investment management fee was calculated monthly based on the average of total assets, as defined, during such period. On October 24, 2006, the Board of Trustees, including our independent trustees, approved and the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of CBRE OP (the “Amended Partnership Agreement”) and the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Amended Partnership Agreement, the “Amended Agreements”). The Amended Advisory Agreement provides an investment management fee of (i) a monthly fee equal to one twelfth of 0.6% of the aggregate cost (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investments within our portfolio and (ii) a monthly fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real estate investments within our portfolio. On January 30, 2009, we entered into that certain second amended and restated advisory agreement (the “Second Amended Advisory Agreement”) with CBRE OP and the Investment Advisor. The Second Amended Advisory Agreement modified, among other things, the investment management fee to consist of (a) a monthly fee equal to one twelfth of 0.5% of the aggregate costs (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investment in our portfolio and (b) a monthly fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real estate investments in our portfolio. All or any portion of the investment management fee not taken as to any fiscal year may be deferred or waived without interest at the option of the Investment Advisor.

The Investment Advisor earned investment management fees of $2,687,000 and $1,783,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively; and $5,118,000 and $3,486,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the investment management fees payable to related party in our consolidated balance sheets were $950,000 and $757,000, respectively. In connection with services provided to the Investment Advisor, CNL Fund Management Company, the Sub-Advisor and affiliate of the Dealer Manager pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement dated August 21, 2006, was paid by the Investment Advisor $371,000 and $246,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively; and $707,000 and $481,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

On January 30, 2009, we entered into that certain Second Amendment Advisory Agreement that permits the Investment Advisor to earn an acquisition fee of up to 1.5% of (i) the purchase price of real estate investments acquired by us, including any debt attributable to such investments, or (ii) when we make an investment indirectly through another entity, such investment’s pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity. The Investment Advisor earned acquisition fees of $3,304,000 and $723,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively; and $3,600,000 and $723,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In connection with services provided to the Investment Advisor, the Sub Advisor, pursuant to a sub advisory agreement, was paid by the Investment Advisor acquisition fees of $618,000 and $135,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively; and $673,000 and $135,000 for the six months end June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Investment Advisor earned $330,000 and $72,000 in acquisition related expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively; and $373,000 and $72,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Prior to the adoption of “Business Combinations” on January 1, 2009, these acquisitions fees and expenses were capitalized to investments in real estate and related intangibles.

Rental Operations

Our reportable segments consist of three types of commercial real estate properties for which our management internally evaluates operating performance and financial results: the Domestic Industrial Properties, Domestic Office Properties and International Office/Retail Properties. All periods presented have been revised to report our segment results under our new reportable segment structure. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on net operating income, defined as: rental income and tenant reimbursements less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance, management fees and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and our company-level general and administrative expenses. The following tables compare the net operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

Total Segment Net Operating Income is a Non-GAAP financial measure which may be useful as a supplemental measure for evaluating the relationship of each reporting segment to the combined total. This measure should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to our U.S. GAAP presentations provided. Segment “Net Operating Income” is defined as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other property income) less property and related expenses (property expenses, including real estate taxes) before depreciation and amortization expense. The Net Operating Income segment information presented consists of the same Net Operating Income segment information disclosed in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Of the total increase, $114,000 was due to the increase in legal expenses; $6,000 was due to the increase in officer and director fees; $84,000 was due to the increase in shareholder servicing fees and reports production costs; $224,000 was due to the increase in professional fees; $536,000 was largely due to the increase in organizational costs which were slightly offset by the reduction of general audit fees and Sarbanes-Oxley assistance of $10,000.

Property Management Fee and Investment Management Fee to Related Party

Property management fee and investment management fee to related party increased $969,000, or 51%, to $2,864,000 for three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1,895,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Net Settlement Payments on Interest Rate Swaps

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we made net payments on interest rate swaps of $444,000 compared to $233,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is a result of lower variable interest rates for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30 2009.

Loss on Interest Rate Swaps and Cap

Loss on interest rate swaps and cap increased $860,000, or 241%, to ($503,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared $357,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Liquidity is a measurement of the ability to meet cash requirements, including funding investments and ongoing commitments, to repay borrowings as well as paying dividends, fees and other costs associated with our public offerings and other general business needs. Our sources of funds will primarily be the net proceeds of our initial public and follow-on offerings, operating cash flows and borrowings. We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other than these sources within the next twelve months. Cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. Depending on market conditions, we expect that once the net proceeds of our initial public and follow-on offerings are fully invested, our debt financing will be approximately 65% of the value of the cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. The amount of debt we place on an individual property, or the amount of debt incurred by an individual entity in which we invest, may be more or less than 65% of the value of such property or the value of the assets owned by such entity, depending on market conditions and other factors. In fact, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may choose not to place debt on our portfolio or our assets and may choose not to borrow to finance our operations or to acquire properties. Our declaration of trust limits our borrowing to 300% of our net assets unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent trustees and is disclosed to our shareholders in our next quarterly report. Our declaration of trust defines “net assets” as our total assets (other than intangibles) at cost, before deducting depreciation,

reserves for bad debts or other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly by us on a basis consistently applied; provided, however, that during such periods in which we are obtaining regular independent valuations of the current value of its net assets for purposes of enabling fiduciaries of employee benefit plan shareholders to comply with applicable Department of Labor reporting requirements, “net assets” means the greater of (i) the amount determined pursuant to the foregoing and (ii) the assets’ aggregate valuation established by the most recent such valuation report without reduction for depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves. Any indebtedness we do incur will likely be subject to continuing covenants, and we will likely be required to make continuing representations and warranties in connection with such debt. Moreover, some or all of our debt may be secured by some or all of our assets. If we default in the payment of interest or principal on any such debt, breach any representation or warranty in connection with any borrowing or violate any covenant in any loan document, our lender may accelerate the maturity of such debt requiring us to immediately repay all outstanding principal. If we are unable to make such payment, our lender could foreclose on our assets that are pledged as collateral to such lender. The lender could also sue us or force us into bankruptcy. Any such event would have a material adverse effect on the value of our common shares. We believe that, even without any proceeds raised from our public offering, we have sufficient cash flow from operations to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to the Investment Advisor and the Dealer Manager. During the offering stage, assuming all of the shares in our primary offering are sold, these payments will include payments of up to $189,000,000 for selling commissions, up to $54,000,000 for the dealer manager fee, up to $27,000,000 for the marketing support fee and up to $20,750,000 for organizational and offering expenses. During the acquisition and operational stages, certain services related to the acquisition and management of our investments and our operations will be provided to us by the Investment Advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement entered into in July 2004 which was amended and restated in October 2006 and again in January 2009. Pursuant to that agreement, we expect to make various payments to the Investment Advisor, including acquisition fees, investment management fees and payments for reimbursements of certain costs incurred by the Investment Advisor in providing related services to us. As the actual amounts to be paid are dependent upon the total equity and debt capital we raise and our results of operations, we cannot determine these amounts at this time.

In order to avoid corporate-level tax on our net taxable income, we are required to pay distributions to our shareholders equal to our net taxable income. In addition, to qualify as a REIT, we generally are required to pay annual distributions to our shareholders equal to at least 90% of our net ordinary taxable income. Therefore, once the net proceeds we receive from our public offerings are substantially fully invested, we will need to raise additional capital in order to grow our business and acquire additional real estate investments. We anticipate borrowing funds to obtain additional capital, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Historical Cash Flows

Our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $9,680,000 to $20,538,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $10,858,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was due to an increase in operating distributions from the Duke joint venture of $9,271,000 and increased tenant billing collections from both consolidated and unconsolidated properties; offset by lower interest income, the payment of annual property taxes for North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas properties and the expensing of acquisition costs of $5,219,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $155,838,000 to $212,653,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $56,815,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was due to the acquisitions of 5160 Hacienda Drive, 10450 Pacific Center Court, 225 Summit, One Wayside Rd. and investments in the UK JV and European JV during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $133,073,000 to $245,386,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $112,313,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was due to an increase in proceeds from the public offering of $146,480,000, and the $15,000,000 draw down of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, offset by an increase in principal payments on notes payable of $8,631,000 (602 Central Blvd. note payable of $8,281,000 was paid off on March 11, 2010), an increase in offering costs of $9,627,000, an increase in distributions to shareholders and non-controlling interest holders of $6,805,000, an increase in shareholder redemptions of $1,153,000, an increase in deferred financing costs of $2,137,000 and a decrease in security deposits of $55,000.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds from Operations

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry

Table of Contents

analysts and investors consider presentations of operating results for REITs that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Consequently, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, created Funds from Operations, or FFO, as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance.

FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net income. FFO, as we define it, is presented as a supplemental financial measure. Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of REIT performance. FFO does not present, nor do we intend for it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and/or operating performance. We believe that net income, as computed under GAAP, appropriately remains the primary measure of our performance and that FFO, when considered in conjunction with net income, improves the investing public’s understanding of the operating results of REITs and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. Modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business and provide greater transparency to the investing public as to how our management team considers our results of operations. As a result, our FFO may not be comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The revised NAREIT White Paper on FFO defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Management believes that NAREIT’s definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time, and that depreciation charges required by GAAP do not always reflect the underlying economic realities. Likewise, the exclusion from NAREIT’s definition of FFO of gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Thus, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. Management also believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs, since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.

In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, we also disclose FFO, as adjusted, which excludes the effects of acquisition costs, non-cash impairment charges and unrealized (gain) loss in an unconsolidated entity. We believe that adjusting FFO to exclude these acquisition costs, impairment charges and unrealized (gain) loss in an unconsolidated entity more appropriately presents our results of operations on a comparative basis. The items that we exclude from net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative effects on our results of operations, often in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. The economics underlying these excluded items are not the primary factors in management’s decision-making process. Period to period fluctuations in these items can be driven by accounting for short-term factors that are not relevant to long-term investment decisions, long-term capital structures or long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions. Therefore, while our FFO, as adjusted, clearly differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO, and may not be comparable to similarly named measures of other REITs and real estate companies, we believe that it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance. We believe that investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in planning and executing our business strategy, thus fostering a greater degree of transparency into our management process.

Neither FFO, nor FFO as adjusted, represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to (i) net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as indications of our financial performance, or (ii) to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, each of FFO and FFO, as adjusted, should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing

Notes Payable

On April 27, 2007, we, in connection with the acquisition of 602 Central Blvd., entered into a £5,500,000 financing arrangement with the Royal Bank of Scotland secured by the property. The loan was for a term of seven years with interest at a variable rate, adjusted quarterly, based on three month GBP-based LIBOR plus 0.67%, per annum. On March 11, 2010, we paid off the £5,500,000 ($8,281,000 at March 11, 2010) loan and expensed certain closing costs plus the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with obtaining the loan totaling $73,000. The interest rate cap agreement was cancelled concurrent with the loan payoff.

In connection with our acquisition of the Carolina Portfolio on August 30, 2007, we assumed 13 loans with principal balances totaling $66,110,000 ($62,944,000 at estimated fair value including the discount of $3,166,000) from various lenders that are secured by first deeds of trust on the properties and the assignment of related rents and leases. Assumption fees and other loan closing costs totaling $765,500 were capitalized as incurred. The loans bear interest at rates ranging from 4.98% to 6.33% per annum and mature between March 1, 2013 and February 1, 2025. The loans require monthly payments of interest and principal, fully amortized over the lives of the loans. Principal payments totaling $1,868,000 were made during the six months ended June 30, 2010. We indemnify the lenders against environmental costs and expenses and guarantee the loans under certain conditions.

On May 30, 2008, we entered into a £7,500,000 ($11,205,000 at June 30, 2010) financing arrangement with the Royal Bank of Scotland plc secured by the Thames Valley Five property. The loan is for a term of five years (with a two year extension option) and bears interest at a variable rate adjusted quarterly, based on six month GBP-based LIBOR plus 1.01%. In addition, we incurred financing costs of approximately £67,000 ($100,000 at June 30, 2010) associated with obtaining this loan. On August 14, 2008, we entered into the interest rate swap agreement that fixed the GBP-based LIBOR rate at 5.41% plus 1.01% or 6.42% per annum as of June 30, 2010, and expires on May 30, 2013. Interest only payments are due quarterly for the term of the loan with principal due at maturity.

On July 1, 2008, in connection with the acquisition of Enclave on the Lake, we assumed an $18,281,000 ($18,790,000 face value less discount of $509,000) loan from NorthMarq Capital, Inc. that bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.45% per annum and matures on May 1, 2011.

Loan Payable

On August 8, 2008, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), which amended the terms of our prior credit agreement with Bank of America, to provide us with a new $45,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and to replace our prior Bank of America term loan and revolving credit facility which matured in August 2008. The new Revolving Credit Facility was fully drawn upon at closing, with such proceeds utilized to pay down the full $45,000,000 amount outstanding under our prior Bank of America term loan (as of August 8, 2008, no amount was outstanding under our prior $10,000,000 Bank of America revolving credit facility). The new Revolving Credit Facility matures in August 2010 and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.75%, based upon our leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement (at our current leverage ratio, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%). An upfront fee of $292,500 was paid to Bank of America, and a fee equal to the actual daily amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed the total outstandings (both as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement) times 0.20% per annum if the total outstandings are equal to or more than 50% of the aggregate commitments, or 0.25% per annum otherwise, is accrued on unfunded balances under the Revolving Credit Facility. The loan contains various financial covenants and restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.75 to 1.00, as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement. As of June 30, 2010, there was no amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility matured on August 8, 2010 in accordance with its terms.

On May 26, 2010, we entered into a $70,000,000 revolving credit facility through our subsidiaries with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The initial maturity date of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility is May 26, 2014, however we may extend the maturity date to May 26, 2015, subject to certain conditions. $15,000,000 of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility was initially drawn upon closing on May 26, 2010 and is included in Loans Payable on our consolidated balance sheet, with the remaining $55,000,000 available for disbursement during the term of the facility. We have the right to prepay any outstanding amount of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty at any time during the term of this Wells Fargo Credit Facility, however, we generally may not reduce the outstanding principal balance below a minimum outstanding amount of $15,000,000, without reducing the total $70,000,000 Wells Fargo Credit Facility capacity. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate of 300 basis points over the LIBOR, however the interest rate shall be at least 4.00% for any of the outstanding balance that is not subject

to an interest rate swap with an initial term of at least two years. Upon closing on May 26, 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to effectively fix the interest rate on the initial $15,000,000 outstanding loan amount at 5.10% for the four-year term of the facility. The interest rate swap was designated as a qualifying cash flow hedge at the start date of the hedge relationship as described in Note 14 “Derivative Instruments.” The Wells Fargo Credit Facility is secured by our 13201 Wilfred, 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, 140 Depot Street, Crest Ridge Corporate Center I and West Point Trade Center properties. In addition, CBRE OP provides a limited guarantee for the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility is subject to certain customary financial covenants, including certain negative financial covenants, which we believe we were in compliance with as of May 26, 2010. A commitment fee of $1,050,000 was paid to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. at closing. We will also pay certain other customary fees in connection with the Wells Fargo Credit Facility including fees related to the unused loan amount, extension, administrative and other fees, the amount of which in some cases is subject to certain terms and conditions.

Our organizational documents contain a limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur, so that unless our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, our aggregate borrowing may not exceed 300% of our net assets unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent trustees and is disclosed to shareholders in our next quarterly report.

Distribution Policy

In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code, we generally must make distributions to our shareholders each year in an amount at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income (as determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain).

It is anticipated that distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to our shareholders, although a portion of such distributions may be designated by us as a return of capital or as capital gain. We will furnish annually to each of our shareholders a statement setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income, return of capital or capital gains.

In addition, distributions totaling $17,600,000 were reinvested in our common shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan during 2009.

To the extent that our cash available for distribution is less than the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT, we may consider various funding sources to cover any shortfall, including borrowing funds on a short-term, or possibly long-term, basis or selling properties. In addition, we may utilize these funding sources to make distributions that exceed the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT.

As of June 30, 2010, we were committed to pay $1,340,000 in accrued offering costs. The timing of future payments is uncertain.

As of June 30, 2010, we had an unfunded investment commitment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia totaling $7,903,000. The timing of future payments is uncertain.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Under the Internal Revenue Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they generally distribute at least 90% of their annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to their shareholders. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify. Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to state, local and foreign taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed gross income. Included as a component of our tax provision, we have incurred income and other taxes (franchise, local and state government and international) related to our continuing operations in the amount of $70,000 and $58,000, $85,000 and $87,000 for California, Georgia, Minnesota, Texas and North Carolina impacting our operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Inflation

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to the relatively low inflation rate. With the exception of leases with tenants in multifamily properties, we expect to include provisions in the majority of our tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions will include reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain allowance. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market. Leases in multifamily properties generally turn over on an annual basis and do not typically present the same issue regarding inflation protection due to their short-term nature.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.

We may be exposed to the effects of foreign exchange rate changes from our investments in unconsolidated entities with operations in China, Japan, the United Kingdom and the European Union, as well as our consolidated operations in the United Kingdom.

We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

The stated rates on the mortgage note payable were 1.96% and 1.88% at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which were based on GBP-based LIBOR plus a spread of 1.31%.

 

(10)

The loan was assumed from the seller of Avion Midrise III & IV on November 18, 2008 and was recorded at estimated fair value which includes the discount.

 

(11)

The loan was assumed from the seller of 12650 Ingenuity Drive on August 5, 2009 and was recorded at estimated fair value which includes the discount.

 

(12)

We entered into the interest rate swap agreement that fixed the GBP-based LIBOR rate at 3.42% plus 2.26 or 5.68% per annum as of June 30, 2010 and expires on August 10, 2014. The stated rates on the mortgage note payable was 2.91% and 2.83% at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which were based on GBP-based LIBOR plus a spread of 2.26%.

 

(13)

The two loans were assumed from the seller of One Wayside Road on June 24, 2010 and were recorded at estimated fair value which include the discount.

Upon the maturity of our debt, there is a market risk as to the prevailing rates at the time of refinancing. Changes in market rates on our fixed-rate debt affect the fair market value of our debt but it has no impact on interest expense or cash flow. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on our fixed rate debt would not increase or decrease our annual interest expense on our fixed rate debt.

The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on current interest rates available to us for debt instruments with similar terms. The following table summarizes our financial instruments and their calculated fair value at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease the fair market value of our notes payable by $7,939,000 at June 30, 2010. In addition, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would either increase or decrease annual variable interest expense as follows; approximately $112,000 on the Thames Valley Five property, approximately $86,000 on the Albion Mills Retail Park property and approximately $209,000 on the Maskew Retail Park property.

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

Subsequent Events

From July 1, 2010 through August 6, 2010, we received gross proceeds from our current public offering of approximately $65,784,736 from the sale of 6,622,631 common shares.

On July 6, 2010, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire, subject to customary closing conditions, 100 Tice Blvd., located at 100 Tice Blvd. in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, a suburb of New York City. We will acquire 100 Tice Blvd. for approximately $67,600,000, of which approximately $42,600,000 will be paid by assuming an existing mortgage loan held by Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company and Principal Life Insurance Company. We anticipate that the remainder of the purchase price will be funded using the net proceeds from our current public offering. 100 Tice Blvd. is a 208,911 square foot office building that is 100% leased to Eisai Inc. through December 2021 and is used as Eisai’s North American headquarters. Eisai Inc. is the U.S. operating subsidiary of the Japanese company Eisai Co., Ltd. Eisai Inc. is a producer of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and cancers. While we anticipate this acquisition to close during the third quarter of 2010, the agreement to acquire the property is subject to a number of contingencies and therefore there can be no assurances that this acquisition will occur.

On July 27, 2010, we contributed an additional $507,000 of our CBRE Strategic Partners Asia capital commitment which was funded using net proceeds from our current public offering.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have formally adopted a policy for disclosure controls and procedures that provides guidance on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects and that all information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial offer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within our company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. Also, we have an investment in five unconsolidated entities. As we do not control these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to these entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as required by the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13(a)-15(e), our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

No changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

If the Valuers rule that the Emergency Funding was bona fide, then the Company shall be required to pay interest on any Emergency Shareholder Loans advanced pursuant to clause 10.7.2 at eighteen per cent (18%) per annum and the Shareholders shall procure that the Company pay any shortfall in interest to the Shareholder who funded the Emergency Funding.

provided that prior to disclosing any Confidential Information pursuant to clauses 14.4.1, 14.4.2, 14.4.3 or 14.4.5, where possible under applicable law or regulation, the party who is to disclose such information shall first notify the other Shareholder in writing of such disclosure and where reasonably required by the other Shareholder shall act reasonably in co-operating with the other Shareholder in an attempt to prevent such disclosure in whole or in part in relation to any Confidential Information which is confidential to the other Shareholder including by participation in any submissions to the relevant body or regulatory or other authority.

16.4 Completion of acquisition of Qualifying Asset

 

16.4.1 If the Company accepts a Qualifying Asset pursuant to clause 16.3.2, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with the seller of the asset to either:

  (b) where the Qualifying Asset is a development asset, enter into an agreement with the seller for the acquisition of the asset upon practical completion of the asset subject to, amongst others, acceptance of the premises by the tenant and commencement of the lease term,

provided that if a Qualifying Asset is to be acquired from Goodman or any of its Associates by way of an Indirect Investment Vehicle then the terms of any such acquisition shall be mutatis mutandis on substantially similar terms as the contract for the acquisition of the shares in the Schönberg SPV (for an investment asset) or the Langenbach SPV (for a development asset) by the Company with such amendments as may be necessary to address requirements in the local jurisdiction where the Indirect Investment Vehicle is domiciled or otherwise as the Shareholders shall agree provided further that if the Company has not completed the acquisition or entered into an agreement with the relevant seller within one (1) month of the date of service of the notice of acceptance of the Qualifying Asset due to the fault or delay of RTPCE, then the Company shall be deemed to have rejected and waived its right to acquire the Qualifying Asset and the Investment Adviser or any of its Associates or any third party may acquire the Qualifying Asset.


16.4.2 Where the Company has entered into an agreement pursuant to clause 16.4.1(b), then Goodman shall procure that the Investment Adviser provides periodic updates, no less frequently than quarterly, relating to the construction, development and leasing aspects (as appropriate) of the Qualifying Asset, including any update to the Due Diligence Materials.

 

16.4.3 There shall be no requirement to complete the acquisition of any Qualifying Asset if the execution ready final lease or agreement for lease is materially different from the agreed heads of terms (as provided for in clause 16.3.1(e)), unless RTPCE and Goodman agree otherwise. Where any execution ready final lease or agreement for lease is materially different from the agreed heads of terms then upon presenting the Qualifying Asset to the Company it shall be deemed to be a new Qualifying Asset and the provisions of this clause 16 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

 

16.5 RTPCE Right of Offer

16.5.1 If a Qualifying Asset is subject to a RTPCE Offer, RTPCE shall provide written notice (the “RTPCE Notice”) to the Company of any potential Qualifying Asset together with such information as RTPCE considers is reasonably necessary for the Company to make an evaluation of the Qualifying Asset which may include the Due Diligence Materials to the extent that such materials are in RTPCE’s or its Associates’ possession or control.

 

16.5.2 The Company shall either accept or reject the Qualifying Asset the subject of the RTPCE Notice by indicating its acceptance or rejection on such notice and returning it to RTPCE within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of all necessary Due Diligence Materials as determined by the Investment Adviser. If the Company rejects such Qualifying Asset or if the Company fails to deliver notice of acceptance to RTPCE within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Company shall have waived its right to acquire that Qualifying Asset and RTPCE or any of its Associates or any third party may acquire the Qualifying Asset.

 

16.5.3 If the Company accepts a Qualifying Asset pursuant to clause 16.5.3, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with the seller of the asset to either:

SCHEDULE 9

Certain US Federal Income Tax Provisions

1. Certain Definitions. Any capitalised terms used in this Schedule and not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Articles. The following terms have the definitions hereinafter indicated whenever used in this Schedule with initial capital letters:

1.1 Adjusted Capital Account Deficit: With respect to any Shareholder, the deficit balance, if any, in such Shareholder’s Capital Account (as defined below) as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year or other period, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(i) Credit to such Capital Account any amounts which such Shareholder is obligated to restore to the Company pursuant to Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations § 1.704-2(g)(1) or Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(5); and

(ii) Debit to such Capital Account the items described in Regulations §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (d)(5), and (d)(6).

The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

1.2 Intentionally Deleted.

1.3 Partnership Minimum Gain: The aggregate gain, if any, that would be realised by the Company for purposes of computing Profits and Losses with respect to each Company asset if each Company asset subject to a Nonrecourse Liability were disposed of for the amount outstanding on the Nonrecourse Liability by the Company in a taxable transaction. Partnership Minimum Gain with respect to each Company asset shall be further determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(d) and any subsequent rule or regulation governing the determination of minimum gain. A Shareholder’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain at the end of any Fiscal Year shall equal the aggregate Nonrecourse Deductions allocated to such Shareholder (or its predecessors in interest) up to that time, less such Shareholder’s (and predecessors’) aggregate share of decreases in Partnership Minimum Gain determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(g).

1.4 Depreciation: For each Fiscal Year, an amount equal to the US federal income tax depreciation, amortisation or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to an asset for such year, except that if the Gross Asset Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for US federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year or other period, Depreciation shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Gross Asset Value as the US federal income tax depreciation, amortisation or other cost recovery deduction for such year bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if the US federal income tax depreciation, amortisation or other cost recovery deductions for such year is zero, Depreciation shall be determined with reference to such beginning Gross Asset Value using any reasonable method selected by the Board.

1.5 Fiscal Year: The taxable year of the Company which, except in the case of a short taxable year, shall be the calendar year.

1.6 Gross Asset Value: With respect to any asset of the Company, such asset’s adjusted basis for US federal income tax purposes, except as follows:

 

  (A) the initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Shareholder to the Company shall be the gross fair market value of such asset at the time of contribution determined by the Board using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt;

 

  (B) in the discretion of the Board, the Gross Asset Values of all Company assets shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as reasonably determined by the Board, immediately prior to the following events:

 

  (i) a Capital Contribution (other than a de minimis Capital Contribution) to the Company by a new or existing Shareholder as consideration for Shares;


  (ii) the distribution by the Company to a Shareholder of more than a de minimis amount of Company property as consideration for the redemption of Shares; and

 

  (iii) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); and

 

  (C) the Gross Asset Values of Company assets distributed to any Shareholder shall be the gross fair market values of such assets as reasonably determined by the General Partner as of the date of distribution.

At all times, Gross Asset Values shall be adjusted by any Depreciation taken into account with respect to the Company’s assets for purposes of computing Profits and Losses. Gross Asset Values shall be further adjusted to reflect adjustments to Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) to the extent not otherwise reflected in adjustments to Gross Asset Values. Any adjustment to the Gross Asset Values of Company property shall require an adjustment to the Shareholders’ Capital Accounts as provided in Section 2 of this Schedule.

1.7 Nonrecourse Deductions: Nonrecourse Deductions are as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(1). The amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a Fiscal Year equals the net increase, if any, in the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain during such Fiscal Year reduced by any distributions during such Fiscal Year of proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability that are allocable to an increase in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined according to the provisions of Regulations § 1.704-2(c) and 1.704-2(h).

1.8 Nonrecourse Liability: A liability as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(3).

1.9 Profits and Losses: Respectively, for each Fiscal Year or other period, the Company’s taxable income or loss for such Fiscal Year or other period, determined in accordance with Code § 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code § 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), adjusted as follows:

 

  (1) any income of the Company that is exempt from US federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses shall be added to such taxable income or loss;

 

  (2) in lieu of the depreciation, amortisation and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Fiscal Year or other period;

 

  (3) any items that are specially allocated pursuant to Section 3.2 shall not be taken into account in computing Profits or Losses;

 

  (4) any expenditures of the Company described in Code § 705(a)(2)(B) (or treated as such under Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)) and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses shall be deducted from such US taxable income or loss;

 

  (5) in the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted in accordance with paragraph (B) or (C) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such Company asset for purposes of computing Profits or Losses;


  (6) gain or loss resulting from any disposition of any Company asset with respect to which gain or loss is recognised for US federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding the fact that the adjusted tax basis of such Company asset differs from its Gross Asset Value; and

 

  (7) an allocation of Company Profits or Losses to a Shareholder shall be treated as an allocation to such Shareholder of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss and deduction that has been taken into account in computing such Profits or Losses.

Profits and Losses shall be further determined and adjusted in accordance with the Regulations issued under Section 704 of the Code.

1.10 Regulations: The regulations of the US Treasury Department promulgated under the Code.

1.11 Intentionally Deleted.

1.12 Partner Minimum Gain: An amount, with respect to each Partner Nonrecourse Debt, equal to Partnership Minimum Gain that would result if such Partner Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a Nonrecourse Liability, determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(3).

1.13 Partner Nonrecourse Debt: A liability as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(4).

1.14 Partner Nonrecourse Deductions: The partner nonrecourse deductions as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(2). The amount of Partner Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a Shareholder’s Nonrecourse Debt for a Fiscal Year equals the net increase, if any, in the amount of Partner Minimum Gain during such Fiscal Year attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, reduced by any distributions during that Fiscal Year to the Shareholder that bears the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent that such distributions are from the proceeds of such Partner Nonrecourse Debt and are allocable to an increase in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined according to the provisions of Regulations § 1.704-2(h) and 1.704-2(i).

2. Capital Account. The Company shall maintain a book account (a “Capital Account”) in accordance with the following provisions for each Shareholder (and any other person who acquires Shares):

 

  (a) To each Shareholder’s Capital Account there shall be credited the amount of cash contributed by such Shareholder, the initial Gross Asset Value of any other asset contributed by such Shareholder to the capital of the Company (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company assumes or takes subject to), such Shareholder’s distributive share of Profits, the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by the Shareholder or secured by distributed assets that such Shareholder takes subject to and any other items in the nature of income or gain that are allocated to such Shareholder pursuant to this Schedule; and

 

  (b) To each Shareholder’s Capital Account there shall be debited the amount of cash distributed to the Shareholder, the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset distributed to such Shareholder pursuant to any provision of the Articles (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Shareholder assumes or takes subject to), such Shareholder’s distributive share of Losses and any other items in the nature of expenses or losses that are allocated to such Shareholder pursuant to this Schedule.


In the event that a Shareholder’s Shares or portion thereof is transferred within the meaning of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent that it relates to the Shares or portion thereof so transferred.

In the event that the Gross Asset Values of Company assets are adjusted, as contemplated in paragraph (B) or (C) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value”, the Capital Accounts of the Shareholders shall be adjusted to reflect the aggregate net adjustments as if the Company sold the relevant assets for their fair market values and recognised gain or loss for US federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of such aggregate net adjustment.

The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of the Articles relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations § 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. No Shareholder shall be obligated to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account and no Shareholder shall have any entitlement to receive any distribution or other payment from the Company in respect of any positive balance in its Capital Account.

3. Allocations.

3.1 Allocation of Profits and Losses. All items of income, gain, loss and deduction for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Shareholders in such a manner that the Capital Accounts of the Shareholders immediately after making such allocations bear, as nearly as possible the same proportions to one another as would the amounts of the distributions that would be made to the Shareholders pursuant to the organisational documents of the Company were the Company to be dissolved, its affairs wound up and the Company Assets sold for an amount equal to their aggregate book values at the end of that Fiscal Year, provided that, for the purpose of making allocations pursuant to this Schedule, any amount which is or would be required to be contributed to the Company on its dissolution shall be deemed to have been so contributed.

3.2 Mandatory Allocations.

 

  (A) No Excess Deficit. To the extent that any Shareholder has or would have, as a result of an allocation of Loss (or item thereof), an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, such amount of Loss (or item thereof) shall be allocated to the other Shareholders in accordance with Section 3.1, but in a manner which will not produce an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to such Shareholders.

 

  (B) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations § 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4) and (5), each Shareholder shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Shareholder’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations § 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Shareholder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in such section of the Regulations in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(f). This Section 3.2(B) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Regulations § 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

  (C)

Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule 1 except Section 3.2(B), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4), each Shareholder who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of


 

Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Shareholder’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Shareholder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 3.2(C) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

  (D) Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule, except Sections 3.2(B) and 3.2(C), in the event any Shareholder receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), that cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Shareholder, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Shareholder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Shareholder as quickly as possible.

 

  (E) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Shareholders in proportion to their respective shares of Profits and Losses.

 

  (F) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Shareholder who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(1).

 

  (G) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code § 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Shareholders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Regulations.

Each Shareholder hereby agrees to provide the Company with all information necessary to give effect to an election made under Code § 754 if the Board determines to make such an election; provided, however, that the cost associated with such an election shall be borne by the Company as a whole. With respect to such election:

 

  (i) Any change in the amount of the depreciation deducted by the Company and any change in the gain or loss of the Company, for US federal income tax purposes, resulting from an adjustment pursuant to Code § 743(b) shall be allocated entirely to the transferee of the Shares or portion thereof so transferred. Neither the capital contribution obligations of, nor the Shares of, nor the amount of any cash distributions to, the Shareholders shall be affected as a result of such election, and except as provided in Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the making of such election shall have no effect except for US federal and (if applicable) state and local income tax purpose,


  (ii) Solely for US federal and, if applicable, state and local income tax purposes and not for the purpose of maintaining the Shareholders’ Capital Accounts (except as provided in Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)), the Company shall keep a written record for those assets, the bases of which are adjusted as a result of such election, and the amount at which such assets are carried on such record shall be debited (in the case of an increase in basis) or credited (in the case of a decrease in basis) by the amount of such basis adjustment. Any change in the amount of the depreciation deducted by the Company and any change in the gain or loss of the Company, for US federal and (if applicable) state and local income tax purposes, attributable to the basis adjustment made as a result of such election shall be debited or credited, as the case may be, on such record.

 

  (H) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 3.2(A), (B), (C) and (D) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations § 1.704-1(b). The Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account for the purpose of equitably adjusting subsequent allocations of Profits and Losses, and items of income, gain, loss, and deduction among the Shareholders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other items to each Shareholder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Shareholder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

 

  (I) Nonrecourse Debt Distribution. To the extent permitted by Regulations § 1.704-2(h)(3) and 1.704-2(i)(6), the Board shall endeavor to treat distributions as having been made from the proceeds of Nonrecourse Liabilities or Partner Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase a deficit balance in any Shareholder’s Capital Account that exceeds the amount such Shareholder is otherwise obligated to restore (within the meaning of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(ii)(c)) as of the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the distribution occurs.

3.3 Allocations for Tax Purposes.

 

  (A) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.3, for US federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Shareholders in the same manner as its correlative item of Profits or Losses is allocated pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2.

 

  (B) In accordance with Code § 704(b) and 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for US federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Shareholders so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for US federal income tax purposes and the initial Gross Asset Value of such property. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company property is adjusted as described in the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for US federal income tax purposes and the Gross Asset Value of such asset in the manner prescribed under Code § 704(b) and 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall employ any reasonable method selected by the Board.


3.4 Allocations to Transferred Shares. Profits and Losses allocable to Shares assigned or reissued during a Fiscal Year shall be allocated to each person who was the holder of such Shares during such Fiscal Year, in proportion to the number of days that each such holder was recognised as the owner of such shares during such Fiscal Year or by an interim closing of the books or in any other proportion permitted by the Code and selected by the Board in accordance with the Articles, without regard to the results of Company operations or the date, amount or recipient of any distributions which may have been made with respect to such Shares.

3.5 US Tax Treatment; Subsidiaries. Following the Company’s treatment as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes, the Company shall take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to be treated at all times as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Board shall elect to treat all subsidiaries or other investments of the Company as partnerships or disregarded entities for US federal income tax purposes, as applicable unless otherwise directed by a Shareholder that is directly or indirectly owned by CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust. Each Shareholder hereby consent to the filing of any tax elections or other consents or statements necessary or appropriate to treat the Company and any subsidiary or investment of the Company as a partnership or disregarded entity (as the case may be) for US federal income tax purposes.

3.6 Tax Matters Partner. The Board shall designate RT Princeton CE Holdings, LLC as the “tax matters partner” (in this Section called the “TMP”) as defined in Code § 6231(a)(7) of the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, the TMP shall be authorised to extend the statute of limitations, file a request for administrative adjustment, file suit concerning any tax refund or deficiency relating to any Company administrative adjustment or enter into any settlement agreement relating to any Company item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for any Fiscal Year of the Company, in each case, with respect to US federal, state and local tax matters. The TMP shall indemnify and reimburse the Company for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Shareholders or in connection with any audit of the Company’s income tax returns, or in respect of any other obligation on the Company to prepare, maintain or file any accounts, records, returns, elections or other such documents required for US federal, state or local tax purposes.

3.7 Each Indirect Investment Vehicle or other entity in which the Company directly or indirectly owns an interest and that is treated as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes shall comply with each provision of this Schedule 9. For the purpose of any such entity’s compliance with this Schedule 9, any reference to the “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such entity, any reference to a “Shareholder” shall be deemed to refer to the partners of such entity for US federal income tax purpose, and each other term in this Schedule 9 shall be understood to be defined such that the provisions of this Schedule 9 shall apply to such entity in a manner analogous to the application of such provisions to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first sentence of section 3.6 shall not apply to any entity in which RT Princeton CE Holdings, LLC is not a partner for US federal income tax purposes, and the Board shall designate as TMP of each such entity a person that is a partner of such entity for US federal income tax purposes and that is either (i) the Company or (ii) an entity in which the Company holds a direct or indirect equity interest. Any person who is designated a TMP pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall delegate its duties as TMP to RT Princeton Holdings, LLC, and/or follow all instructions of RT Princeton Holdings, LLC with respect to such duties, to the extent consistent with applicable law.

In the case where the Board or the Shareholders or the board (or equivalent body) of any Indirect Investment Vehicle fail to reach a unanimous decision of the Directors or the

 

21


 

Shareholders (or board (or equivalent body) of any Indirect Investment Vehicle) present and entitled to vote in relation to a Major Decision or a Reserved Matter or the Directors representing a Shareholder (or equivalent in relation to an Indirect Investment Vehicle) or a Shareholder wilfully absents itself from any meeting such that there is not a quorum at any meeting to discuss the same Major Decision or Reserved Matter on three consecutive occasions, then a deadlock shall be deemed to have arisen (a “Deadlock”) and any Shareholder shall be entitled, at its discretion, to exercise the rights conferred by this clause 6 in the manner, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this clause 6.

 

6.3 Within five (5) Business Days of the Deadlock arising, either Shareholder may give notice in writing (“Deadlock Notice”) to the other Shareholder that in its opinion there is a Deadlock and identifying the matter over which the Shareholders are deadlocked.

6.5.2 in the case of RTPUK, Jack A. Cuneo or such other person occupying the position of President of RTPUK (the “RTPUK Senior Officer”),

or if there ceases to be a Chief Executive Officer of Goodman or a President of RTPUK, the most senior officer of each such organisation, in each case with a view to such persons resolving the Deadlock as soon as possible in the best interests of the Company and each Shareholder shall use its reasonable endeavours to procure that such Deadlock is so resolved. If such persons agree upon a resolution of the matter, they shall execute a statement setting out the agreed terms. The Shareholders shall exercise their voting rights and other powers available to them in relation to the Company to procure that the agreed terms are fully and promptly put into effect.

 

6.6 If the persons referred to in clause 6.5 cannot resolve a Deadlock within twenty (20) Business Days of the Deadlock being referred to them (the “Deadlock Date”) and the Deadlock has arisen as a result of a Major Decision related to a specific Property, (the “Relevant Property”) then either Shareholder shall be entitled to serve a Property Buy-Sell Notice on the other Shareholder in relation to the Relevant Property in accordance with clause 7.2.

 

6.7 The Shareholders shall procure that in the event of a Deadlock each of them and their Directors and Representatives, directors (or equivalent) of any Indirect Investment Vehicle and each of their Associates shall continue to perform their respective obligations in relation to this agreement, the Articles and any other agreement (including the Joint Venture Documents) entered into for and on behalf of the Company or any Indirect Investment Vehicle, or for the purposes of the Business.

  (b) to require the Company (or such relevant Indirect Investment Vehicle) to sell the Relevant Property to the Property Offeror (the “Property Sell Offer”).

 

7.2.2 Upon service of the Property Buy-Sell Notice, the Property Offeree shall have the option to elect to accept either the Property Buy Offer or the Property Sell Offer, in each case by serving written notice on the Company and the other Shareholder within sixty (60) days after the date of service of the Property Buy-Sell Notice, failing which the Property Offeree shall be deemed to have accepted the Property Sell Offer.

7.2.4

If the Property Offeree accepts the Property Buy Offer but fails to pay the relevant price or complete the transfer of the Relevant Property within the thirty (30) day period specified in clause 7.2.3 other than due to any fault or delay on the part of the Property Offeror, the Property Offeror may within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the expiry of the relevant thirty (30) day period require the Company or the relevant Indirect Investment

7.2.7 If the Property Offeree elects (or is deemed to elect) to accept either the Property Buy Offer or the Property Sell Offer, the Shareholder (or any third party) purchasing the Relevant Property may elect to acquire the shares in any Indirect Investment Vehicle that owns the Relevant Property (provided that the Indirect Investment Vehicle owns no other Property) and the provisions of this clause 7.2 will apply mutatis mutandis provided that the price for each such share shall be equal to the net asset value for such Indirect Investment Vehicle (and such net asset value shall be calculated in accordance with clause 21 with such changes as shall be necessary to the NAV and NAV per Share to reflect the fact that the shares being acquired are the shares in the Indirect Investment Vehicle owning the Relevant Property and not the Shares) divided by the total issued share capital of any such Indirect Investment Vehicle.

 

7.3 General

 

7.3.1 For the avoidance of doubt, if either Shareholder serves a Property Buy-Sell Notice pursuant to clause 7.2.1 then the other Shareholder shall not be entitled to do so in respect of the same Deadlock matter giving rise thereto or in relation to a new Deadlock matter affecting the same Property until such time as the provisions of clause 7.2 have been exhausted in respect of the first Deadlock matter and if both Shareholders serve a Property Buy-Sell Notice on the same day, the first in time to be served shall prevail.

10. FINANCING THE COMPANY

 

10.1 The Business and the business of each Indirect Investment Vehicle shall be financed initially by the proceeds of the Share subscriptions referred to in Schedule 3, together with funding provided pursuant to any Finance Agreements, provided that if the Company is required to make any additional payment under clause 3.3(a)(ii), 3.3(b)(ii), 3.6(a) or 3.6(c) or paragraph 7 of Schedule 6 of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, then the Shareholders shall fund such additional payment by way of a subscription for additional Shares in accordance with this clause 10.

 

10.2 Subject to clause 10.1, the Shareholders are not obliged to provide any further funding in addition to their Share subscriptions, but may do so if both Shareholders agree on a project by project basis. Any additional funding shall be provided by the Shareholders pro rata to their Shares unless the Shareholders otherwise agree and shall be subject to the terms of this agreement.

 

10.3 In the event that the Shareholders agree (or are required) to provide additional funding, the Shareholders shall each either execute and deliver to the Company a subscription for additional Shares for the agreed amount of the additional funding or execute and deliver to the Company loan agreements for the amount of any loans to be made available by them to the Company. The Shareholders agree to make such amendments to this agreement as may be necessary to give effect to the fact that they have agreed to provide additional funding by way of loans.

 

10.4 All Shares to be issued pursuant to clauses 10.2 and 10.3 shall be a nominal amount of Shares in the agreed proportions (as set out in clause 10.2) issued at a premium and all Shares to be issued to Goodman shall be A Shares and all Shares to be issued to RTPUK shall be B Shares.

10.6.1

If either Shareholder or the Property Manager gives notice to the Company that Emergency Funding is required for an amount of up to one million pounds (£1,000,000) for any one occurrence, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day of receipt of that notice serve a notice (a “Drawdown Notice”) on each of the Shareholders. The Drawdown Notice will specify the reason for the Emergency Funding and the amount

 

29


 

required for the Emergency Funding (an “Emergency Shareholder Loan”) and the date by which the Emergency Shareholder Loan must be advanced to the Company, provided that not less than four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice requesting payment shall be given. The Shareholders shall advance an Emergency Shareholder Loan pro rata to their Shares.

 

10.6.2 If a Shareholder fails to advance its Emergency Shareholder Loan, the other Shareholder may fund the resulting shortfall of the Emergency Funding by way of a further Emergency Shareholder Loan and the entire amount of Emergency Shareholder Loans funded by such other Shareholder shall accrue interest at a rate of eighteen per cent (18%) per annum, provided that if a Shareholder gives notice to the Company and the other Shareholder no later than two (2) Business Days after the due date of its Emergency Shareholder Loan disputing the fact that its Emergency Shareholder Loan is required for the purposes of Emergency Funding then, subject to clause 10.6.3, the interest rate will be 5 (five%) per annum.

 

10.6.3 If a dispute notice is served pursuant to clause 10.6.2, any Shareholder may be entitled within ten (10) Business Days of service of the dispute notice to apply to the Valuers for a determination as to whether the Emergency Funding was bona fide. If the Valuers rule that the Emergency Funding was bona fide, then the Company shall be required to pay interest on any Emergency Shareholder Loans advanced pursuant to clause 10.6.2 at eighteen per cent (18%) per annum and the Shareholders shall procure that the Company pay any shortfall in interest to the Shareholder who funded the Emergency Funding.

 

10.6.4 Without prejudice to clause 10.6.6, as soon as practicable after the date the Company provides Emergency Funding to the Property Manager, the Executive Committee and the Board shall meet to agree the extent to which Emergency Shareholder Loans may be refinanced, repaid to the Shareholders or to take such other action as may be agreed by the Executive Committee and the Board.

 

10.6.5 All Emergency Shareholder Loans shall not be counted in relation to determining the First Preferred Return or the Second Preferred Return. A failure by a Shareholder to advance its Emergency Shareholder Loan shall not be a Default Event.

 

10.6.6 All distributions of available cash to the Shareholders pursuant to clause 11.1.1 or 11.1.2 shall be made in repayment of any outstanding Emergency Shareholder Loans (and all accrued but unpaid interest on them) in priority to any further distributions to the Shareholders.

14. CONFIDENTIALITY

 

14.1 During the term of this agreement and for a period of one year after its termination or expiration for any reason each Shareholder undertakes to the other Shareholder (other than in respect of the Confidential Information relating to itself or its Associates):

 

14.1.1 to keep the Confidential Information confidential;

 

14.1.2 not to disclose the Confidential Information to any other person other than with the prior written consent of the other Shareholder or in accordance with clauses 14.2, 14.3 and 14.4; and

32


14.2 During the term of this agreement a Shareholder may disclose the Confidential Information to an Associate or to its employees to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes of this agreement and then on terms under which the relevant Associate or employee is made aware that the Confidential Information should be treated in confidence as if that Associate or employee were himself a party to this agreement. The parties acknowledge that RTPUK does not itself have employees but is the beneficiary of services provided to it by employees of the CBRE Investors group of companies. It is therefore agreed that for the purpose of this clause 14.2 RTPUK may disclose the Confidential Information to employees of the CBRE Investors group of companies strictly for the purpose of delivering services to RTPUK and in doing so, RTPUK shall procure that any such recipient is aware of the terms of this confidentiality undertaking and maintains all such information in confidence as if that recipient were himself a party to this agreement.

 

14.3 If and to the extent that a Shareholder discloses any Confidential Information to any other person in accordance with clause 14.2 it shall procure that each recipient of Confidential Information is made aware of and complies with the obligations of confidentiality set out in this clause 14 as if such recipient was a party to this agreement.

 

14.4 Each Shareholder may disclose Confidential Information if and to the extent:

 

14.4.1 required by law;

 

14.4.2 required pursuant to a request or order by a court of competent jurisdiction;

 

14.4.3 required by any securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body or authority to which any Shareholder or its Associates is subject or submits, wherever situated, including (without limitation) the Jersey Financial Services Commission, the UKLA, London Stock Exchange plc, the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, the Australian Securities Exchange and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the various securities regulatory authorities of the states and federal districts of the United States;

 

14.4.4 required to vest the full benefit of this agreement in that Shareholder or expressly contemplated by this agreement;

 

14.4.5 required by any tax authority for the purposes of the tax affairs of the Shareholder or Associate concerned;

 

14.4.6 required by its professional advisers, auditors, bankers, underwriters or dealers of securities in the ultimate parents of the Shareholders (and their representative);

 

14.4.7 in the case of RTPUK, the information generally conforms with such information as CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust historically discloses in its filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; or

 

14.4.8 in the case of Goodman, the information generally conforms with such information as Goodman Limited or Goodman Industrial Trust historically disclose in their filings with the Australian Securities Exchange,

provided that prior to disclosing any Confidential Information pursuant to clauses 14.4.1, 14.4.2, 14.4.3 or 14.4.5, where possible under applicable law or regulation, the party who is to disclose such information shall first notify the other Shareholder in writing of such disclosure and where reasonably required by the other Shareholder shall act reasonably in co-operating with the other Shareholder in an attempt to prevent such disclosure in whole or

 

33


in part in relation to any Confidential Information which is confidential to the other Shareholder including by participation in any submissions to the relevant body or regulatory or other authority.

 

14.5 For the purposes of this clause 14, information is not Confidential Information if:

 

14.5.1 it is or becomes public knowledge other than as a direct or indirect result of the information being disclosed in breach of this agreement;

 

14.5.2 either Shareholder can establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Shareholder that it found out the information from a source not connected with the other Shareholder or any of its Associates and that the source is not under any obligation of confidence in respect of the information;

 

14.5.3 either Shareholder can establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Shareholder that the information was known to the first Shareholder before the date of this agreement and that it was not under any obligation of confidence in respect of the information; or

 

14.5.4 the Shareholders agree in writing that it is not confidential.

 

14.6 Notwithstanding any term or condition of this agreement to the contrary, the foregoing confidentiality obligations shall not extend to the tax structure or tax treatment of the Company, the Indirect Investment Vehicles and its or their investments, any transactions undertaken by the Company or the Indirect Investment Vehicles or to materials of any kind (including any opinions or other analysis) relating to such tax structure or tax treatment; provided, however, that such exception shall not include (1) the name (or other identifying information not relevant to such tax structure or tax treatment) of any person; (2) any performance information relating to the Company, the Indirect Investment Vehicles or its or their investments; or (3) any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably required to comply with applicable securities laws.

 

15. ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

15.1 Subject to clause 15.2, no announcement concerning the Company, the Business, any Indirect Investment Vehicle, any Property or the existence or subject matter of this agreement or any of the Joint Venture Documents shall be made by any Shareholder without it being approved in writing by the other Shareholder as to its content, form and manner of publication (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

15.2 Any announcement or circular to be made or issued by either Shareholder (as required by law or by the UKLA and/or the London Stock Exchange plc and/or the Australian Stock Exchange or by any other regulatory body in relation to the trading of the securities of that party or by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers or by any other regulatory body including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) may be made or issued by such Shareholder without the prior approval of the other Shareholder.

 

15.3 Subject to clause 15.2 and save as may otherwise be provided by law, the Shareholders shall consult together upon the form of any such announcement or circular in relation to the subject matter of this agreement and the other Shareholder shall promptly provide such information and comment as the Shareholder making the announcement or sending out the circular may from time to time reasonably request.

  (a) owned by the Investment Adviser, Goodman or any of their Associates which the Investment Adviser, Goodman or any of their Associates has decided to sell or that is otherwise being pursued by or offered to the Investment Adviser, Goodman or any of their Associates; and

 

  (b) not precluded by the vendor of the Qualifying Asset (not being the Investment Adviser. Goodman or any of their Associates but including any of their joint venture partners) from being offered to or acquired by the Company (or any Indirect Investment Vehicle),

(the “Right of Offer”).

 

16.1.2 The Right of Offer shall commence on the date of this agreement and shall terminate on the earlier of:

 

  (a) the expiration of the Initial Investment Term;

 

  (b) (for the purposes of clauses 16.1 to 16.4) the date that the Board has rejected any three (3) Qualifying Assets offered by Goodman pursuant to clause 16.1.1 and (for the purposes of clauses 16.5 and 16.6) the date that the Board has rejected any three (3) Qualifying Assets offered by RTPUK pursuant to clause 16.5.1;

 

  (c) the date on which the aggregate value of Share subscriptions made by the Shareholders exceeds £400 million;

 

  (d) the termination of any of the Service Agreements in accordance with its terms;

 

  (e) the date that a Shareholder transfers its entire interest in the Company to the other Shareholder pursuant to clauses 7.1 or 20; and

 

  (f) the date that Goodman or RTPUK or any of their respective Associates are no longer a Shareholder,

  (c) the Investment Adviser may, but is not obliged to, offer to the Company any asset that is not a Qualifying Asset and in such case clauses 16.3 and 16.4 shall apply to that asset as if it was a Qualifying Asset.

 

35


16.2 Qualifying Asset

 

16.2.1 For the purposes of this clause 16, a “Qualifying Asset” is any real property that is a logistics development or logistics investment asset that:

 

  (a) has a target yield (calculated as Net Operating Income divided by Market Value) of greater than seven per cent (7%), unless otherwise agreed by the Board;

 

  (b) has a Market Value of greater than £10,000,000;

  (f) is located in a major industrial property location in the Target Region.

 

16.2.2 The Shareholders acknowledge that whilst it will not preclude any asset from being a Qualifying Asset it will be preferable for a Qualifying Asset to be subject to leases or agreements for lease where the rental income is subject to regular increases.

 

16.3 First Notice of Qualifying Asset

 

16.3.1 Where a Qualifying Asset is subject to the Right of Offer, Goodman shall procure that the Investment Adviser provides written notice (the “First Notice”) to the Company of any potential Qualifying Asset together with such information as the Investment Adviser considers is reasonably necessary for the Company to make an evaluation of the Qualifying Asset which may include:

 

  (a) an estimate of the Market Value of the Qualifying Asset prepared by the Investment Adviser (including upon completion of any development where the asset is a development asset);

 

  (b) an estimate of the net operating income for the applicable Qualifying Asset for the first full year of the term of a lease to a tenant of the Qualifying Asset in which the tenant is required to pay full rent;

 

  (c) a capitalisation rate for such Qualifying Asset based on the estimated Market Value and the net operating income;

 

  (d) an investment proposal or development proposal (as appropriate);

 

  (e) in the case of a development logistics asset a site plan of the proposed improvements of the Qualifying Asset and a copy of the agreed heads of terms for a lease or agreement for lease; and

 

  (f) such of the due diligence materials listed in Schedule 6 as the Investment Adviser determines are relevant and to the extent that such materials are in the Investment Adviser’s possession or control,

(the “Due Diligence Materials”).

 

16.3.2

The Company shall have until the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of all necessary Due Diligence Materials as reasonably determined by the Investment Adviser, to either accept or reject the Qualifying Asset subject to the First Notice by serving written notice on the Investment Adviser. If the Company rejects a Qualifying Asset or if the Company fails to serve on the Investment Adviser notice of acceptance

 

36


 

within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Company shall have waived its right to acquire that Qualifying Asset and the Investment Adviser or any of its Associates or any third party may acquire or sell the Qualifying Asset.

 

16.4 Completion of acquisition of Qualifying Asset

 

16.4.1 If the Company accepts a Qualifying Asset pursuant to clause 16.3.2, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with the seller of the asset to either:

 

  (a) where the Qualifying Asset is an investment asset, complete the acquisition of the Qualifying Asset or any Indirect Investment Vehicle that owns the Qualifying Asset as soon as reasonably practicable; or

 

  (b) where the Qualifying Asset is a development asset, enter into an agreement with the seller for the acquisition of the asset upon practical completion of the asset subject to, amongst others, acceptance of the premises by the tenant and commencement of the lease term,

provided that if a Qualifying Asset is to be acquired from Goodman or any of its Associates by way of an Indirect Investment Vehicle then the terms of any such acquisition shall be mutatis mutandis on substantially similar terms as the contract for the acquisition of the shares in the Brackmills SPV by the Company with such amendments as the Shareholders shall agree provided further that if the Company has not completed the acquisition or entered into an agreement with the relevant seller within one (1) month of the date of service of the notice of acceptance of the Qualifying Asset due to the fault or delay of RTPUK, then the Company shall be deemed to have rejected and waived its right to acquire the Qualifying Asset and the Investment Adviser or any of its Associates or any third party may acquire the Qualifying Asset.

 

16.4.2 Where the Company has entered into an agreement pursuant to clause 16.4.1(b), then Goodman shall procure that the Investment Adviser provides periodic updates, no less frequently than quarterly, relating to the construction, development and leasing aspects (as appropriate) of the Qualifying Asset, including any update to the Due Diligence Materials.

 

16.4.3 There shall be no requirement to complete the acquisition of any Qualifying Asset if the execution ready final lease or agreement for lease is materially different from the agreed heads of terms (as provided for in clause 16.3.1(e)), unless RTPUK and Goodman agree otherwise. Where any execution ready final lease or agreement for lease is materially different from the agreed heads of terms then upon presenting the Qualifying Asset to the Company it shall be deemed to be a new Qualifying Asset and the provisions of this clause 16 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

 

16.5 RTPUK Right of Offer

 

16.5.1 During the Offer Period, RTPUK (in each case, in so far as it is able) shall (and shall procure that any of its Associates shall) procure that any Qualifying Asset that is owned by a third party and is being pursued by RTPUK (or its Associates) is offered to the Company in priority to any other person where the Company is not precluded by the vendor of the Qualifying Asset (not being RTPUK or its Associates) from being offered to or acquired by the Company (or any Indirect Investment Vehicle) (the “RTPUK Offer”).

 

16.5.2

If a Qualifying Asset is subject to a RTPUK Offer, RTPUK shall provide written notice (the “RTPUK Notice”) to the Company of any potential Qualifying Asset together with such

 

37


 

information as RTPUK considers is reasonably necessary for the Company to make an evaluation of the Qualifying Asset which may include the Due Diligence Materials to the extent that such materials are in RTPUK’s or its Associates’ possession or control.

 

16.5.3 The Company shall either accept or reject the Qualifying Asset the subject of the RTPUK Notice by indicating its acceptance or rejection on such notice and returning it to RTPUK within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of all necessary Due Diligence Materials as determined by the Investment Adviser. If the Company rejects such Qualifying Asset or if the Company fails to deliver notice of acceptance to RTPUK within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Company shall have waived its right to acquire that Qualifying Asset and RTPUK or any of its Associates or any third party may acquire the Qualifying Asset.

 

16.5.4 If the Company accepts a Qualifying Asset pursuant to clause 16.5.3, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with the seller of the asset to either:

 

  (a) where the Qualifying Asset is an investment asset, complete the acquisition of the Qualifying Asset or any Indirect Investment Vehicle that owns the Qualifying Asset as soon as reasonably practicable; or

 

  (b) where the Qualifying Asset is a development asset, enter into an agreement with the seller for the acquisition of the asset upon practical completion of the asset subject to, amongst others, acceptance of the premises by the tenant and commencement of the lease term,

provided that if the Company has not completed the acquisition or entered into an agreement with the relevant seller within one (1) month of the date of service of the notice of acceptance of the Qualifying Asset due to the fault or delay of Goodman or the Investment Adviser, then the Company shall be deemed to have rejected and waived its right to acquire the Qualifying Asset and RTPUK or any of its Associates or any third party may acquire the Qualifying Asset.

 

16.6 Waiver of Right of Offer or RTPUK Offer

The Company may waive the Right of Offer or the RTPUK Offer in relation to any Qualifying Asset at any time by written notice to the Shareholders and the Investment Adviser in which case the Qualifying Asset may be acquired by any other person.

 

16.7 The Shareholders agree and acknowledge that, save for the Right of Offer obligations contained in this clause 16, either of the Shareholders and any of the respective Associates may acquire, own, develop or otherwise exploit any interest in real estate, either directly or indirectly, and whether alone or for or with other persons and nothing in this agreement shall prevent them from doing so.

 

16.8 If either of the Shareholders or any Directors appointed by such Shareholder shall have voted against the acquisition by the Group of a Qualifying Asset from a third party, such Shareholder or its Associates shall not pursue the acquisition of such Qualifying Asset for its own benefit or the benefit of its Associates. For the avoidance of doubt, if the other Shareholder voted in favour of the acquisition of such Qualifying Asset by the Group, it may pursue the acquisition of such Qualifying Asset for its own benefit or the benefit of its Associates.

 

38


17. GOOD FAITH
