NOTE 4        ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

On August 15, 2012, we acquired 70 Columbia Corporate Center (“70 CCC”), a 169,590 square foot Class A office building located in the Columbia, Maryland town center by assuming a promissory note which encumbered the property and providing a participation right to the lender for 30% of the appreciation in the market value of the building less our preferred return. The promissory note bears interest at 4.25% and matures on August 31, 2017. The building was approximately 23.7% leased at closing. Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction, we executed a lease for 76,308 square feet that will increase occupancy to approximately 68.7% when the tenants take possession which is estimated to occur in March 2013. As part of the transaction, we deposited approximately $5.0 million into an escrow account for capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions at the property. We are entitled to a 10% cumulative preferred return, after debt service, on our invested capital in the property. Cash flow is then split pro-rata based on our original contributed equity of $5.0 million plus any additional equity contributed and the loan amount. Excess proceeds from a capital event, after repayment of outstanding debt and the preferred return will be split 30% to the lender and 70% to us. The acquisition was recorded at fair value of $17.5 million and consists of land and a building that was valued as if it were vacant and the “as-if-vacant” value was allocated between the land and building. The “as-if-vacant” value was derived by estimating the value of the property assuming it was generating stabilized cash flows using market lease, capitalization and discount rates based on recent comparable market transactions, reduced by the estimated lease-up and carrying costs that we would incur to achieve stabilized cash flow if the property were vacant. The fair value of the liabilities assumed was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. 70 CCC is included in our Operating segment.

On July 6, 2012, we sold 11.5 acres including 104,705 square feet of mostly vacant retail space in Pocatello, ID (Alameda Plaza) for $4.5 million. Our net earnings recognized on the sale was $2.0 million. As the sale of certain development assets is an integral part of our business strategy, we recognize the proceeds as revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On May 31, 2012, we acquired our partner’s interest in the 393-unit Millennium Waterway Apartments for $6.9 million, following the funding of a $55.6 million ten-year non-recourse mortgage bearing a 3.75% interest rate. Total assets of $78.6 million and liabilities of $56.4 million, including the recently funded loan, were consolidated into our financial statements at fair value as of the acquisition date. Prior to the acquisition, we accounted for our investment in Millennium Waterway Apartments under the equity method. We now own 100% of this stabilized Class A multi-family property located in The Woodlands Town Center. Included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are revenues of $1.9 million and $2.5 million and net earnings of $0.6 million and $0.9 million since the acquisition date, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. In conjunction with this acquisition, we entered into a new joint venture with the partner to construct a 314-unit Class A multi-family property. Please refer to Note 7 — Real Estate Affiliates for information about the new joint venture.

On July 1, 2011, we acquired our partner’s 47.5% economic interest (represented by a 57.5% legal interest) in TWCPC Holdings, L.P., The Woodlands Operating Company, L.P. and TWLDC Holdings, L.P. (collectively referred to as “The Woodlands”) for $117.5 million. The Woodlands is located near Houston, Texas.  As a result of the acquisition, we now consolidate The Woodlands operations into our financial statements: therefore, our condensed consolidated financial statements are not comparable for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Please refer to Note 15 — Segments for a presentation of the results as if we consolidated The Woodlands for all periods presented. Prior to such acquisition, we accounted for The Woodlands using the equity method. Our acquisition of The Woodlands net assets resulted in a $3.9 million after-tax loss on the re-measurement relating to our existing 52.5% economic interest which had a $134.8 million net book value at June 30, 2011. The loss is recorded in the Investment in Real Estate Affiliate basis adjustment line on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, are revenues of $40.3 million and a net loss of $7.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The net loss includes the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, including an $8.6 million increase in cost of sales to reflect the step-up in basis of finished lot inventory sold during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
