FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Significant events occurring since November 15, 2004
(the filing date of the Form 10-Q for the third quarter of
2004) include:
|
|
|
|
|
On February 8, 2005, our board of directors approved the
listing for sale of the 525 B Street,
San Diego, CA, and Congress Center, Chicago, IL
properties of which we own 100% and 30%, respectively. |
|
|
|
On February 10, 2005, a special committee, or the Special
Committee, of our board of directors engaged Robert A.
Stanger & Co., Inc., or Stanger, to advise us regarding
strategic alternatives. |
|
|
|
On March 8, 2005, our board of directors appointed
Glenn L. Carpenter to serve as an independent director. |
|
|
|
In connection with our initial and second public offerings of
common stock conducted through best efforts offerings from
July 22, 2002 through April 30, 2004, we disclosed the
prior performance of all public and non-public investment
programs sponsored by Triple Net Properties, LLC, our
Advisor. We now have determined that there were certain errors
in those prior performance tables. In particular, the financial
information in the tables was stated to be presented on a GAAP
basis. Generally the tables for the public programs were not
presented on a GAAP basis and the tables for the non-public
programs were prepared and presented on a tax or cash accounting
basis. Moreover, a number of the prior performance data figures
were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash
basis. In particular, certain programs sponsored by our Advisor
have invested either along side or in other programs sponsored
by our Advisor. The nature and results of these investments were
not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables. In general,
the resulting effect is an overstatement of our Advisors
program and aggregate portfolio operating results. |
|
|
|
As we have previously disclosed, our board of directors is
considering a variety of potential strategic initiatives. When
that process is completed, we intend to announce how we will
address the errors in the prior performance tables described
above. |
Our Company
We were incorporated on December 18, 2001 under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Virginia and we were qualified and elected
to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for
federal income tax purposes. On September 27, 2004, we were
reincorporated in the State of Maryland in accordance with the
approval of our stockholders at the 2004 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to income
taxes. To maintain our REIT status, we are required to
distribute annually as dividends at least 90% of our REIT
taxable income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, or
Code, to our stockholders, among other requirements. If we fail
to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to
federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate
tax rates. As of December 31, 2004, we believe we are in
compliance with all relevant REIT requirements.
We were organized to acquire, manage, and invest in office,
industrial and service real estate properties, or interests
therein, with a government-tenant orientation. We completed our
first property acquisition in September 2002. As of
December 31, 2004, we have purchased interests in
25 properties, including 23 consolidated interests in
office properties and two unconsolidated interests in office
properties.
We conduct business and own properties through our wholly-owned
operating partnership, G REIT, L.P., or the operating
partnership, which was formed as a Virginia limited partnership
in December of 2001. We are the sole general partner of the
operating partnership and have control over the affairs of the
operating partnership.
Our day to day operations are managed by Triple Net
Properties, LLC, or our Advisor, under an advisory
agreement, or the Advisory Agreement, that has a one-year term
expiring on July 22, 2005, and is subject to successive
one-year renewals with the written consent of the parties,
including a majority of our independent directors. Our Advisor
is affiliated with us in that the two entities have common
officers and directors, some of whom also own an equity interest
in our Advisor. Our Advisor engages affiliated entities,
including Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., or Realty, an
affiliate of our Advisor, which was solely owned by
Anthony W. Thompson, our chief executive officer,
president and chairman of our board of directors, through
December 31, 2004 (effective January 1, 2005,
Mr. Thompson owns 88% of Realty), to provide various
services for our properties. Our Advisor and Realty were formed
in 1998 to serve as an asset and property manager for real
estate investment trusts, syndicated real estate limited
partnerships, limited liability companies and similar real
estate entities.
Our Advisors principal executive offices are located at
1551 N. Tustin Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Ana,
California 92705 and the telephone number is
(877) 888-7348. We make our periodic and current reports
available on our Advisors website at www.1031nnn.com after
these materials are filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or SEC. They are also available for printing by any
stockholder upon request. We do not maintain our own website or
have an address or telephone number separate from our Advisor.
Since we pay a management fee to our Advisor, we do not pay rent
for the use of its space.
Public Offering of Equity Securities; Use of Proceeds
Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11/ A under
the Securities Act which was declared effective by the SEC on
July 22, 2002, or our Initial Offering, we offered for sale
to the public on a best efforts basis a maximum of
20,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of
$10.00 per share and up to 1,000,000 additional shares
pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan, or DRIP, pursuant to
which our stockholders could elect to have their dividends
reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. On
February 9, 2004, we terminated our Initial Offering and
began the sale to the public on a best efforts basis
of 27,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of
$10.00 per share and up to 1,500,000 additional shares of
our common stock in accordance with the DRIP pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-11/ A declared effective
by the SEC on January 23, 2004, or our Second Offering and,
together with our Initial Offering, our Offerings. On
April 30, 2004, we terminated our Second Offering, the DRIP
and our share repurchase plan.
From July 22, 2002 through December 31, 2004, we sold
and issued 43,865,000 shares of our common stock pursuant
to our Offerings which resulted in gross proceeds of
$437,315,000. Net proceeds after selling commissions, marketing
and due diligence costs and organization and offering expenses
totaled $393,018,000.
2004 Year Highlights
During 2004, we completed the following key transactions:
|
|
|
|
|
we sold 26,293,000 shares of our common stock resulting in
net proceeds to us after selling costs of $236,109,000; and |
|
|
|
we acquired 12 consolidated office properties totaling
3,798,000 square feet of gross leaseable area, or GLA, for
an aggregate purchase price of $536,755,000. |
Current Investment Objectives and Policies
Our primary investment objective is to obtain current income
from investments in real estate, including real estate that has
a government-tenant orientation. Accordingly, we have sought to:
|
|
|
|
|
invest in income producing real property generally through
equity investments in a manner which permits us to continue to
qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes; |
2
|
|
|
|
|
generate cash available for distribution to our stockholders; |
|
|
|
preserve and protect our stockholders capital; and |
|
|
|
realize capital appreciation upon the ultimate sale of our
properties. |
To the extent of any additional proceeds or reinvestment
proceeds, we will strive to invest in a diversified portfolio of
additional properties in terms of geography, type of property
and types of tenants that will satisfy our investment
objectives. However, we cannot assure you that we will attain
these objectives or that our stockholders capital will not
decrease.
Acquisition Strategies
Our primary acquisition strategy, under our current business
plan (without reference to any strategic shifts) is to acquire
and manage (through entities owned or controlled, directly or
indirectly by us), office, industrial and service properties
that have a government-tenant orientation inasmuch as
substantial space is being leased to government tenants. In
general, we define government tenants to include:
|
|
|
|
|
U.S. federal government departments and agencies; |
|
|
|
state, local and other government departments and agencies; |
|
|
|
quasi-governmental agencies; |
|
|
|
government contractors and service providers; |
|
|
|
governmental licensees; and |
|
|
|
health care, medical insurance, grant research and similar
companies. |
We primarily acquire our properties through wholly-owned
subsidiaries of our operating partnership. We may also acquire
undivided tenant-in-common, or TIC, interests in real properties
and real properties subject to long-term ground leases. As of
December 31, 2004, we have acquired 23 consolidated
properties and interests in two unconsolidated properties as
undivided TICs. We may purchase TIC interests in properties
where the other TICs are participating in tax-free exchanges
arranged by our Advisor. In connection with any reinvestment of
sales proceeds in connection with a tax-free exchange, our
Advisor or its affiliates may earn commissions. Other methods of
acquiring a property may be used when advantageous. For example,
we may acquire properties through joint ventures or the
acquisition of substantially all of the interests of an entity
that in turn owns a real property. Additionally, we may invest
excess cash in interest-bearing accounts and short-term
interest-bearing securities. Such investments may include, for
example, investments in marketable securities, certificates of
deposit and interest-bearing bank deposits.
We may continue to primarily acquire properties with cash and
mortgage or other debt; however, we may also acquire properties
free and clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying the
entire purchase price for such properties in cash or in units of
our operating partnership. In the case of properties purchased
on an all-cash basis, we may later incur mortgage indebtedness
by obtaining loans secured by selected properties, if favorable
financing terms are available. The proceeds from such loans, if
any, would be used to acquire additional properties to
potentially increase our cash flow. Although not required by our
Charter or Bylaws as a policy matter, we do not intend to incur
indebtedness in excess of 60% of the aggregate fair market value
of all our properties, as determined at the end of each calendar
year. In addition, we do not intend to incur secured
indebtedness on a specific property in excess of 80% of such
propertys fair market value.
As of December 31, 2004, nine of our properties were
located in California, seven in Texas and one in each of
Florida, Delaware, Illinois, Nebraska, Nevada, Washington,
Maryland, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. Our consolidated
properties were 87.5% leased as of December 31, 2004. Most
of our leases are gross leases with terms of five
years or more, usually providing for a base minimum annual rent
with periodic increases. Our gross leases typically require that
we pay all or a majority of the operating expenses,
3
including real estate taxes, special assessments, utilities,
insurance and building repairs related to the property. In
addition, most of our government tenant leases may permit
tenants to terminate under certain circumstances, including, for
example, in the event of their failure to obtain financial
appropriations or in the event of the termination or non-renewal
of a material contract.
To assist us in meeting our objectives, our Advisor and its
affiliates may purchase properties in their own name, assume
loans in connection with the purchase of properties and
temporarily hold title to such properties for the purpose of
facilitating our acquisition of such property. They may also
borrow money, obtain financing or complete construction of
properties on our behalf. We may also acquire properties from
the entities managed by our Advisor. Such acquisitions must be
approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of
our independent directors, and supported by an independent
appraisal prepared by an appraiser who is a member in good
standing of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or
similar national organization selected by our independent
directors.
Acquisition Standards
We believe, based on our Advisors prior real estate
experience, that our Advisor has the ability to identify
properties capable of meeting our current investment objectives.
In evaluating potential acquisitions, the primary factor we
consider is the propertys current and projected cash flow.
We also consider a number of other factors relating to a
property including, without limitation, the following:
|
|
|
|
|
geographic location and type; |
|
|
|
construction quality and condition; |
|
|
|
potential for capital appreciation; |
|
|
|
ability of tenants to pay scheduled rent; |
|
|
|
lease terms and rent roll, including the potential for rent
increases; |
|
|
|
potential for economic growth in the tax and regulatory
environment of the community in which the property is located; |
|
|
|
potential for expanding the physical layout of the property; |
|
|
|
occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type
in the same geographic vicinity; |
|
|
|
prospects for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing
of the property; |
|
|
|
competition from existing properties and the potential for the
construction of new properties in the area; and |
|
|
|
treatment under applicable federal, state and local tax and
other laws and regulations. |
Our Advisor has substantial discretion with respect to the
selection of specific properties.
We will not close the purchase of any property unless and until
we obtain at least a Phase I environmental assessment for
that property and we are generally satisfied with the
environmental status of the property.
In purchasing properties, we will be subject to risks generally
incident to the ownership of real estate, including:
|
|
|
|
|
changes in general economic or local conditions; |
|
|
|
changes in supply of or demand for similar competing properties
in an area; |
|
|
|
changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage
funds which may render the sale of a property difficult or
unattractive; |
|
|
|
changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws; |
4
|
|
|
|
|
periods of high interest rates and tight money supply which may
make the sale of properties more difficult; |
|
|
|
tenant turnover; and |
|
|
|
general overbuilding or excess supply in the market area. |
Disposition Strategies
We consider various factors when evaluating potential property
dispositions. These factors include, without limitation, the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
the ability to sell the property at a price we believe would
provide an attractive return to our stockholders; |
|
|
|
our ability to recycle capital into core markets consistent with
our business strategy; |
|
|
|
our desire to exit markets that are not core markets; |
|
|
|
whether the property is strategically located; |
|
|
|
tenant composition and lease rollover for the property; |
|
|
|
general economic conditions and outlook, including job growth in
the local market; and |
|
|
|
the general quality of the asset. |
Operating Strategies
Our primary operating strategy is to acquire suitable properties
with a government-tenant orientation that meet our acquisition
standards and to enhance the performance and value of those
properties through management strategies designed to address the
needs of current and prospective tenants. Our management
strategies include:
|
|
|
|
|
aggressively leasing available space through targeted marketing
augmented, where possible, by our Advisors local asset and
property management offices; |
|
|
|
re-positioning properties to include, for example, shifting from
single to multi-tenant use in order to maximize desirability and
utility for prospective tenants; |
|
|
|
controlling operating expenses by centralization of asset and
property management, leasing, marketing, financing, accounting,
renovation and data processing activities; |
|
|
|
emphasizing regular maintenance and periodic renovation to meet
the needs of tenants and to maximize long-term returns; and |
|
|
|
financing acquisitions and refinancing properties when favorable
terms are available to increase cash flow. |
Financing Policies
We conduct substantially all of our investment and
debt-financing activities through our operating partnership. To
date, we have financed our investments through a combination of
equity as well as secured debt. The terms of our line of credit
and secured notes contain various financial covenants which
require satisfaction of certain total debt-to-asset ratios,
secured debt-to-total-asset ratios, debt service coverage
ratios, as well as other customary limitations. A primary
objective of our financing policy is to manage our financial
position to allow us to raise capital at competitive rates. As
of December 31, 2004, 15 of our properties were subject to
existing mortgages with an aggregate principal amount
outstanding of $442,275,000, consisting of $87,264,000, or 20%,
of fixed rate debt at a weighted average interest rate of
5.36% per annum and $355,011,000, or 80%, of variable rate
debt at a weighted average interest rate of 4.15% per
annum. Approximately $178,400,000, or 43%, of our variable rate
debt is subject to various
5
interest rate swap, cap and collar agreements that at
December 31, 2004 convert some of this debt into fixed rate
debt ranging from 1.50% to 5.75% per annum. The fixed
interest rates and the interest rate swap, cap and collar
agreements on the variable interest rates limit the risk of
fluctuating interest rates. In addition, we utilize certain
derivative financial instruments at times to limit interest rate
risk. The derivatives we enter into, and the only derivative
transactions approved by our board of directors, are those which
are used only for hedging purposes rather than speculation. If
an anticipated hedged transaction does not occur, any positive
or negative value of the derivative will be recognized
immediately in net income.
We intend to utilize one or more sources of capital for future
growth, which may include borrowings under our secured credit
facility with a group of banks led by LaSalle Bank National
Association, or LaSalle, and/or the issuance of equity or debt.
There is no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain
capital on favorable terms or at all.
To the extent that our board of directors decides to obtain
additional capital, we may elect to retain our earnings (subject
to the provisions of the Code requiring distributions of taxable
income to maintain REIT status), or dispose of some of our
properties or utilize a combination of these methods.
Tax Status
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes
under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and believe that
we have qualified since our first year of operations. As long as
we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be
subject to federal income tax to the extent we distribute at
least 100% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. If we
fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be
subject to federal income tax (including any applicable
alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular
corporate rates. Unless entitled to relief under specific
statutory provisions, we will also be disqualified for taxation
as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which
we lose our qualification. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may
be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and
property and to federal income and excise taxes on our
undistributed income.
Distribution Policy
In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes,
we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding
capital gains) to our stockholders. The declaration of monthly
distributions on our common stock is at the discretion of our
board of directors and our board will determine the amount of
distributions on a regular basis. The amount of distributions
will depend on our funds from operations, financial condition,
capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the
REIT provisions of the Code and other factors our board of
directors deem relevant.
Competition
We compete with a considerable number of other real estate
companies seeking to lease office space, some of which may have
greater marketing and financial resources than we do. Principal
factors of competition in our business are the quality of
properties (including the design and condition of improvements),
leasing terms (including rent and other charges and allowances
for tenant improvements), attractiveness and convenience of
location, the quality and breadth of tenant services provided
and reputation as an owner and operator of quality office
properties in the relevant market. Our ability to compete also
depends on, among other factors, trends in the national and
local economies, financial condition and operating results of
current and prospective tenants, availability and cost of
capital, including capital raised by incurring debt,
construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental
regulations, legislation and population trends.
We hold interests in properties located in California, Texas,
Nebraska, Florida, Delaware, Washington, Pennsylvania, Missouri,
Maryland, Illinois, and Nevada. Other entities managed by our
Advisor also own property interests in some of the same regions
in which we own property interests and such properties are
managed by Realty. Our properties may face competition in these
geographic regions
6
from such other properties owned, operated or managed by our
Advisor or our Advisors affiliates. Our Advisor or its
affiliates have interests that may vary from those we may have
in such geographic markets.
Government Regulations
Many laws and government regulations are applicable to our
properties and changes in these laws and regulations, or their
interpretation by agencies and the courts, occur frequently.
Costs of Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities
Act. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or
ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements
for access and use by disabled persons. Although we believe that
we are in substantial compliance with present requirements of
the ADA, none of our properties have been audited, nor have
investigations of our properties been conducted to determine
compliance. We may incur additional costs in connection with the
ADA. Additional federal, state and local laws also may require
modifications to our properties or restrict our ability to
renovate our properties. We cannot predict the cost of
compliance with the ADA or other legislation. If we incur
substantial costs to comply with the ADA or any other
legislation, our financial condition, results of operations,
cash flow and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations
and pay distributions could be adversely affected.
Costs of Government Environmental Regulation and Private
Litigation. Environmental laws and regulations hold us
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain
hazardous or toxic substances on our properties. These laws
could impose liability without regard to whether we are
responsible for the presence or release of the hazardous
materials. Government investigations and remediation actions may
have substantial costs and the presence of hazardous substances
on a property could result in personal injury or similar claims
by private plaintiffs. Various laws also impose liability on
persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous
or toxic substances for the cost of removal or remediation of
hazardous substances at the disposal or treatment facility.
These laws often impose liability whether or not the person
arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal
facility. As the owner and operator of our properties, we may be
deemed to have arranged for the disposal or treatment of
hazardous or toxic substances.
Use of Hazardous Substances by Some of Our Tenants. Some
of our tenants routinely handle hazardous substances and wastes
on our properties as part of their routine operations.
Environmental laws and regulations subject these tenants, and
potentially us, to liability resulting from such activities. We
require the tenants, in their leases, to comply with these
environmental laws and regulations and to indemnify us for any
related liabilities. We are unaware of any material
noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic
substances or petroleum products in connection with any of our
properties.
Other Federal, State and Local Regulations. Our
properties are subject to various federal, state and local
regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life
safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these various
requirements, we may incur governmental fines or private damage
awards. While we believe that our properties are currently in
material compliance with all of these regulatory requirements,
we do not know whether existing requirements will change or
whether future requirements will require us to make significant
unanticipated expenditures that will adversely affect our
ability to make distributions to our stockholders. We believe,
based in part on engineering reports which are generally
obtained at the time we acquire the properties, that all of our
properties comply in all material respects with current
regulations. However, if we were required to make significant
expenditures under applicable regulations, our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to
satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions
could be adversely affected.
Significant Tenants
As of December 31, 2004, none of our tenants accounted for
10% or more of our aggregate annual rental income. However,
separate agencies of the General Services Administration had 21
leases at eight of our consolidated properties which accounted
for 20.8% of our aggregate annual rental income at
December 31, 2004.
7
Our ten largest tenants at our consolidated properties, based
upon the aggregate annual rental income, accounted for 31.7% of
our aggregate annual rental income at December 31, 2004.
These tenants are:
|
|
|
|
|
General Services Administration (EPA) at Hawthorne Plaza,
at 7.2%; |
|
|
|
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. at Pacific Place, at 4.2%; |
|
|
|
City of San Diego at 600 B St. San Diego, at
3.6%; |
|
|
|
Jacobs Engineering at One Financial Plaza, at 3.1%; |
|
|
|
General Services Administration (IRS) at North Pointe Corporate
Center, at 2.5%; |
|
|
|
Golden Eagle Insurance Co. at 525 B St., at 2.4%; |
|
|
|
General Services Administration at Public Ledger Building, at
2.4%; |
|
|
|
Radian International at AmberOaks Corporate Center, at 2.3%; |
|
|
|
Elsevier, Inc. at 525 B St., at 2.1%; and |
|
|
|
General Services Administration (U.S. Bankruptcy Court) at
824 Market St., at 1.9%. |
The loss of these above-mentioned tenants or their inability to
pay rent could have a material adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.
We are also subject to a concentration of regional economic
exposure as 52.5% and 20.1% of our aggregate annual base rental
income is generated by our consolidated properties located in
California and Texas, respectively. Regional economic downturns
in California and Texas could adversely impact our operations.
Employees
We have no employees and our executive officers are all
employees of our Advisor. Substantially all of our work is
performed by employees of our Advisor and its affiliates.
Financial Information About Industry Segments
We are in the business of owning, managing, operating, leasing,
acquiring, developing, investing in and disposing of office,
industrial and service properties. We internally evaluate all of
our properties as one industry segment, and, accordingly, we do
not report segment information.
As of December 31, 2004, we owned 23 consolidated office
properties located in nine states with an aggregate GLA of
5.9 million square feet. We also owned interests in two

Indebtedness
At December 31, 2004, we had secured mortgage loans
outstanding on 15 of our consolidated properties, representing
aggregate indebtedness of $442,275,000 consisting of
$87,264,000, or 20%, of fixed rate debt at a weighted average
interest rate of 5.36% per annum and $355,011,000, or 80%,
variable rate debt at a weighted average interest rate of
4.15% per annum. In addition, at December 31, 2004,
advances under our credit facility with LaSalle in the amount of
$58,369,000, at an interest rate of 4.28% per annum, were
collateralized by certain of our consolidated properties. See

Item 3. |
Legal Proceedings |
On September 16, 2004, our Advisor advised us that it
learned that the SEC is conducting an investigation referred to
as In the matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.
The SEC has requested information from our Advisor relating
to disclosure in securities offerings (including offerings by
us, T REIT, Inc. and A REIT, Inc.) and the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the
private offerings in which our Advisor and its affiliated
entities were involved and exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Exchange Act for several entities. The SEC
has requested financial and other information regarding these
entities as well as the limited liability companies advised by
our Advisor, including us. Our Advisor has advised us that it
intends to cooperate fully with the SECs investigation.
This investigation could involve us and our required periodic
reports under the Exchange Act and fines, penalties or
administrative remedies could be asserted against us.
We cannot at this time assess the outcome of the investigation
by the SEC. Therefore, at this time, we have not accrued any
loss contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5.

Market Information
During the period covered by this report, there was no
established public trading market for our shares of common stock.
Effective July 22, 2002, we adopted a share repurchase
plan, or Repurchase Plan, which provided eligible stockholders
with limited liquidity by enabling them to request the
repurchase of their common stock by us subject to various
limitations. Repurchases are made at the sole discretion of our
board of directors. To be eligible to request a repurchase, a
stockholder must offer for resale at least 25% of the total
number of shares of common stock owned and must have owned the
shares for at least one year.
The price paid by us per repurchased share of common stock
varies in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Plan.
Repurchases, if any, are affected by us on or about the last day
of each calendar quarter. Funding for the Repurchase Plan comes
from our operations and DRIP. We repurchased 18,000 and
28,000 shares of our common stock for $164,000 and $257,000
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The Repurchase Plan was terminated on
April 30, 2004.
Stockholders
As of March 31, 2005, we had 13,973 stockholders of record.
Distributions
Beginning September 1, 2002, we began monthly distributions
to our stockholders of record as of the end of the preceding
month at 7.00% per annum of the per share purchase price to
the extent of lawfully available funds. The distribution rate
increased to 7.25% per annum effective January 1, 2003
and to 7.50% per annum effective June 1, 2003.
Distribution rates are based on a $10.00 per share purchase
price.
16
For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we declared
distributions of $28,042,000 and $6,211,000, respectively.
The declaration of monthly distributions is at the discretion of
our board of directors and our board will determine the amount
of distributions on a regular basis. The amount of distributions
will depend on our funds from operations, financial condition,
capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the
REIT provisions of the Code and other factors our board of
directors deem relevant.
Additionally, we are required to distribute 90% of our REIT
taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in
order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We
may be required to use borrowings under our credit facility, if
necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain
our REIT status. We have historically distributed amounts in
excess of our taxable income resulting in a return of capital to
our stockholders. We anticipate that our current distribution
rate will meet our REIT distribution requirements for 2005.
Amounts accumulated for distribution to our stockholders are
invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts and short-term
interest-bearing securities, which are consistent with our
intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Such
investments may include, for example, investments in marketable
equity securities, certificates of deposit and interest-bearing
bank deposits.

The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction

Net income (loss) and distributions per share are based upon the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Distributions by us of the current and accumulated earnings and
profits for federal income tax purposes are taxable to our
stockholders as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of
these earnings and profits generally are treated as a
non-taxable reduction of our stockholders basis in the
shares of common stock to the extent thereof (a return of
capital for tax purposes), and thereafter as taxable gain. These
distributions in excess of earnings and profits will have the
effect of deferring taxation of the distributions until the sale
of the stockholders shares. For |
19
|
|
|
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, 51.64%,
53.61% and 34.71%, respectively, represented a return of capital
for tax purposes. In order to maintain our qualification as a
REIT, we must make annual distributions to our stockholders of
at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. REIT taxable income
does not include net capital gains. Under certain circumstances,
we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash
available for distribution in order to meet the REIT
distribution requirements. Distributions are determined by our
board of directors and are dependent on a number of factors,
including the amount of funds available for distribution, our
financial condition, any decision by our board of directors to
reinvest funds rather than to distribute funds, our capital
expenditures, the annual distribution required to maintain REIT
status under the Code and other factors our board of directors
may deem relevant. |
|
(3) |
One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our
stockholders from cash generated from operations. We believe
that Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a useful supplemental
measure of our operating performance. We compute FFO in
accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of
Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts, or NAREIT. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or
loss computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, or 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.
Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO
and, accordingly, our FFO calculations may not be comparable to
other REITs. |
|
|
|
Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and
losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it
provides a performance measure that, when compared year over
year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy
rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities,
general and administrative expenses and interest costs,
providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net
income. In addition, we believe 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. |

|
However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of
our operating performance since it does not reflect either
depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital
expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the
operating performance of our properties, which are significant
economic costs and could materially impact our results of
operations. |
|
|
Non-cash adjustments to arrive at FFO consisted of adjustments
for, depreciation and amortization and net gain (loss) from the
sale of a joint venture. For additional information, see
Funds from Operations, which includes a
reconciliation of our GAAP net income available to our
stockholders to FFO for the years ended December 31, 2004
and 2003. |

Item 7. |
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
Item 6: Selected Financial Data and our
consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere
in this Form 10-K.
Forward-Looking Statements
Historical results and trends should not be taken as indicative
of future operations. Our statements contained in this report
that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Actual results
may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking
statements. We intend those forward-looking statements to be
covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of
complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking
statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe
future plans, strategies and expectations of us, are generally
identifiable by use of
20
the words believe, expect,
intend, anticipate,
estimate, project,
prospects, or similar expressions. Our ability to
predict results or the actual effect of future plans or
strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a
material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects
on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes
in economic conditions generally and the real estate market
specifically; legislative/regulatory changes (including changes
to laws governing the taxation of REITs); availability of
capital; interest rates; competition; supply and demand for
operating properties in our current and proposed market areas;
and generally accepted accounting principles, and policies and
guidelines applicable to REITs. These risks and uncertainties
should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements
and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Additional information concerning us and our business, including
additional factors that could materially affect our financial
results, is included herein and in our other filings with the
SEC.
Overview and Background
We were incorporated on December 18, 2001 under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Virginia. On September 27, 2004, we
were reincorporated in the State of Maryland in accordance with
the approval of our stockholders at the 2004 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to income
taxes. To maintain our REIT status, we are required to
distribute annually as distributions at least 90% of our REIT
taxable income, as defined by the Code, to our stockholders,
among other requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any
taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our
taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. As of
December 31, 2004, we believe we were in compliance with
all relevant REIT requirements.
We were incorporated to acquire ownership interests in office,
industrial and service real estate properties with a
government-tenant orientation. We completed our first property
acquisition in September 2002. As of December 31, 2004, we
have purchased interests in 25 properties, including 23
consolidated interests in office properties and two
unconsolidated undivided tenant-in-common interests in office
properties.
We are externally advised by Triple Net Properties, LLC, or our
Advisor. Our Advisor is primarily responsible for managing our
day-to-day operations and assets. The advisory agreement between
us and our Advisor, or the Advisory Agreement, has a one-year
term which expires on July 22, 2005, and is subject to
successive renewals with the written consent of the parties,
including a majority of our independent directors. Our Advisor
is affiliated with us in that the two entities have common
officers and directors, some of whom also own an equity interest
in our Advisor. Our Advisor engages affiliated entities,
including Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., or Realty, an
affiliate of our Advisor, which was solely owned by
Anthony W. Thompson, our chief executive officer, president
and chairman of our board of directors, through
December 31, 2004 (effective January 1, 2005,
Mr. Thompson owns 88% of Realty), a real estate brokerage
and management company, to provide various services for the
properties. Our Advisor and Realty were formed in 1998 to serve
as an asset and property manager for real estate investment
trusts, syndicated real estate limited partnerships, limited
liability companies and similar real estate entities.
Business Strategy
Our primary business strategy is currently to actively manage
our property portfolio to seek to achieve gains in rental rates
and occupancy, control operating expenses and maximize income
from ancillary operations and services. We believe that our
recently acquired real estate investments will have a
significant impact on our future results of operations. In the
event of subsequent dispositions, if we do not redeploy the
funds into additional acquisitions, our future results of
operations could be negatively impacted due to the dilutive
impact of the uninvested funds. We may also sell existing
properties and place the net proceeds into new investment
properties we believe will generate long-term value.
Additionally, we may invest excess cash in interest-bearing
accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities. Such
investments may include, for example, investments in marketable
securities, certificates of deposit and interest-bearing bank
deposits.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we completed the
acquisition of ten wholly-owned properties and two
tenant-in-common, or TIC, interests in two properties with TIC
interests of 78.50% and 77.63%, adding a total
of 3,798,000 square feet of gross leaseable area, or
GLA, to our property portfolio. The aggregate purchase price was
$536,755,000, of which $327,038,000 was financed with mortgage
debt. We paid $13,315,000 in commissions to Realty in connection
with these acquisitions. In accordance with Statement of
Accounting Financial Standard, or SFAS, No. 141, we
allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed, including the allocation
of the intangibles associated with the in-place leases
considering the following factors: lease origination costs;
tenant relationships; and above or below market leases. During
2004, we have allocated and recorded $93,192,000 of intangible
assets associated with in-place lease origination costs and
tenant relationships, as well as above market leases. Such
intangible assets are being amortized over the term of each of
the underlying tenant leases ranging from one to
107 months. Total amortization of the lease intangible
assets for 2004 was $14,132,000. On certain acquisitions, we
have recorded lease intangible liabilities related to the
acquired below market leases of $23,433,000 during 2004. The
lease intangible liabilities are being amortized over the term
of each of the underlying tenant leases ranging from two to
123 months. Amortization of $5,406,000 was recorded for
these lease intangibles during 2004.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, we completed the
acquisition of eight wholly-owned properties, one property with
a TIC interest of 97.68% and two unconsolidated TIC interests in
two properties with TIC interests of 30.00% and 4.75%, adding a
total of 2,564,000 square feet of GLA to our property
portfolio. The aggregate purchase price of the nine consolidated
properties was $274,980,000, of which $125,673,000 was financed
with mortgage debt. We paid $7,079,000 in commissions to Realty
in connection with these acquisitions. In accordance with
SFAS No. 141, we allocated the purchase price to the
fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed,
including the allocation of the intangibles associated with the
in-place leases considering the following factors: lease
origination costs; tenant relationships; and above or below
market leases. During 2003, we have allocated and recorded
$6,192,000 of intangible assets associated with in-place lease
origination costs, as well as above market leases. Such
intangible assets are being amortized over the term of each of
the underlying tenant leases ranging from 14 to 94 months.
Total amortization of the lease intangible assets for 2003 was
$599,000. On certain acquisitions, we have recorded lease
intangible liabilities related to the acquired below market
leases which aggregated $7,969,000 during 2003. The lease
intangible liabilities are being amortized over the term of each
of the underlying tenant leases ranging from 13 to
120 months. Amortization of $472,000 was recorded for these
lease intangibles during 2003.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. We believe that our critical accounting
policies are those that require significant judgments and
estimates such as those related to revenue recognition,
allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of real estate and
intangible assets, purchase price allocation, deferred assets
and qualification as a REIT. These estimates are made and
evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is
currently available as well as various other assumptions
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results could vary from those estimates, perhaps in material
adverse ways, and those estimates could be different under
different assumptions or conditions.
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts |
Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the terms of the respective lease agreements. Differences
between rental income recognized and amounts contractually due
under the lease agreements are credited or charged, as
applicable, to rent receivable. We maintain an allowance for
doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of tenants to make required payments under lease
agreements. We also maintain an allowance for deferred rent
receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. We
determine the adequacy of this allowance by continually
evaluating individual tenant receivables considering the
tenants financial condition, security deposits, letters of
credit, lease guarantees and current economic conditions.
Our properties are stated at depreciated cost. We assess the
impairment of a real estate asset when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the net book value may not be
recoverable. Indicators we consider important which could
trigger an impairment review include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
significant negative industry or economic trend; |
|
|
|
a significant underperformance relative to historical or
projected future operating results; and |
|
|
|
a significant change in the manner in which the asset is used. |
In the event that the carrying amount of a property exceeds the
sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) that are
expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the
property, we would recognize an impairment loss to the extent
the carrying amount exceeded the estimated fair value of
23
the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows
is inherently uncertain and relies on subjective assumptions
dependent upon future and current market conditions and events
that affect the ultimate value of the property. It requires us
to make assumptions related to future rental rates, tenant
allowances, operating expenditures, property taxes, capital
improvements, occupancy levels, and the estimated proceeds
generated from the future sale of the property.
We have not recorded any impairment losses at December 31,
2004 and 2003.
|
|
|
Purchase Price Allocation |
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business
Combinations, we, with assistance from independent valuation
specialists, allocate the purchase price of acquired properties
to tangible and identified intangible assets based on their
respective fair values. The allocation to tangible assets
(building and land) is based upon our determination of the value
of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow
models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors
considered by us include an estimate of carrying costs during
the expected lease-up periods considering current market
conditions and costs to execute similar leases. Additionally,
the purchase price of the applicable property is allocated to
the above or below market value of in-place leases and the value
of in-place leases and related tenant relationships.
The value allocable to the above or below market component of
the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the
present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks
associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between
(i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the
lease over its remaining term, and (ii) our estimate of the
amounts that would be paid using fair market rates over the
remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above
market leases are included in the intangible in-place lease
asset and below market lease values are included in intangible
lease liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements and are amortized to rental income over the
weighted average remaining term of the acquired leases with each
property.
The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further
allocated to in-place lease costs and the value of tenant
relationships based on our evaluation of the specific
characteristics of each tenants lease and our overall
relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics
considered by us in allocating these values include the nature
and extent of the credit quality and expectations of lease
renewals, among other factors.
These allocations are subject to change based on continuing
valuation analysis or other evidence, until the allocations are
finalized or the stipulated time of one year from the date of
acquisition.
Costs incurred for debt financing and property leasing are
capitalized as deferred assets. Deferred financing costs include
amounts paid to lenders and others to obtain financing. Such
costs are amortized over the term of the related loan.
Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest
expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred
leasing costs include leasing commissions that are amortized
using the straight-line method over the term of the related
lease. Unamortized financing and leasing costs are charged to
expense in the event of debt prepayment or early termination of
the lease.
Since our taxable year ended December 31, 2002, we have
organized and operated, and intend to continue to operate, so as
to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. Our
qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to
meet, through actual annual operating results, asset
diversification, distribution levels and diversity of stock
ownership, numerous requirements established under highly
technical and complex Code provisions subject to interpretation.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be
subject to federal income tax, including any applicable
alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular
corporate rates.
24
Moreover, unless entitled to relief under specific statutory
provisions, we also would be disqualified as a REIT for four
taxable years following the year during which qualification was
lost.
Results of Operations
The operating results are primarily comprised of income derived
from our portfolio of properties. Because of the significant
property acquisitions throughout the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the comparability of financial
data from period to period is limited.

$423,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 compared
to interest and dividend income of $124,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2003. $125,000, or 42%, of the increases were
primarily attributable to the interest and dividend income
earned on our investment in marketable equity securities. The
remaining increase of $174,000, or 58%, is primarily
attributable to higher cash balances in interest bearing
accounts at December 31, 2004.
Gain on sale of marketable securities and joint venture was due
to the purchase and sale of the investment in the joint venture
at G REIT-TRS, Inc. resulting in a gain of $980,000 and the
gain on sale of marketable securities of $251,000 during the
year ended December 31, 2004.
Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated real estate
decreased by $808,000, or 396%, to a loss of ($604,000) during
the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to equity in
earnings of $204,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The decrease was primarily due to the write off of unamortized
loan costs at Congress Center as a result of refinancing the
existing mortgage as well as an increase in property tax
reassessments during 2004.
Income taxes consisted of the provision recorded as a result of
the gain on sale of the joint venture at G REIT-TRS, Inc.,
a taxable REIT subsidiary.
As a result of the above items, net loss for the year ended
December 31, 2004 was ($1,876,000), or ($0.05) per basic
and dilutive share compared with net income of $78,000, or
$0.01 per basic and dilutive share for the year ended
December 31, 2003.

Rental income increased $11,694,000, or 1,595%, to $12,427,000
during the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to rental
income of $733,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
$7,795,000, or 67%, of the increases were primarily attributable
to the nine properties acquired during 2003. $3,965,000, or 33%,
of the increases were attributable to a full year of ownership
of the two properties acquired during 2002.
Rental expenses increased $4,545,000, or 2,217%, to $4,750,000
during the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to rental
expenses of $205,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
$2,933,000, or 65%, of the increases were primarily attributable
to the nine properties acquired during 2003. $1,081,000, or 24%,
of the increases were attributable to a full year of ownership
of the two properties acquired during 2002.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of third
party professional legal and accounting fees related to our SEC
filing requirements. General and administrative expenses
increased $1,350,000, or 794%, to $1,520,000 during the year
ended December 31, 2003 compared to general and
administrative expenses of $170,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2002. $161,000, or 12%, of the increases were
primarily attributable to the nine properties acquired during
2003. $1,143,000, or 85%, of the increases were attributable to
a full year of operations at G REIT Inc and G REIT L.P. which
resulted in an increase in legal and professional fees along
with marketing, postage, delivery and printing expenses and
board of directors fees.
Depreciation expense increased $3,249,000, or 3,185%, to
$3,351,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003 compared
to depreciation expense of $102,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2002. $2,133,000, or 66%, of the increases
were primarily attributable to the nine properties acquired
during 2003. $1,116,000, or 34%, of the increases were
attributable to a full year of ownership of the two properties
acquired during 2002.
Amortization expense was $405,000 at December 31, 2003
compared to zero at December 31, 2002 as a result of the
nine properties acquired during 2003.
27
Interest expense increased $2,400,000, or 968%, to $2,648,000
during the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to
interest expense of $248,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2002. $1,284,000, or 54%, of the increases
were primarily attributable to borrowings on the nine properties
acquired during 2003. $1,116,000, or 46%, of the increases were
attributable to a full year ownership of the two properties
acquired during 2002 and the borrowings associated with the 2002
acquisitions, as well as the amortization of deferred financing
costs at G REIT, Inc and G REIT, L.P.
Interest and dividend income increased $106,000, or 589%, to
$124,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003 compared
to interest and dividend income of $18,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2002. For the years ended December 31,
2003 and 2002, interest and dividend income was solely comprised
of interest income. The increases were primarily attributable to
higher cash balances in interest bearing accounts at
December 31, 2003.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate was $204,000 at
December 31, 2003 as a result of the acquisition of two
unconsolidated real estate properties in 2003.
As a result of the above items, net income for the year ended
December 31, 2003 was $78,000 or $0.01 per basic and
dilutive share compared with net income of $26,000, or
$0.06 per basic and dilutive share for the year ended
December 31, 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
|
|
|
Current Sources of Capital and Liquidity |
We seek to create and maintain a capital structure that allows
for financial flexibility and diversification of capital
resources. Our primary source of liquidity to fund
distributions, debt service, leasing costs and capital
expenditures is net cash from operations. Moreover, our primary
source of liquidity to fund property acquisitions, temporary
working capital and unanticipated cash needs is our credit
facility. There is no assurance, however, that we will be able
to obtain capital on favorable terms or at all. As of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, our total debt as a percentage
of total capitalization was 58.4% and 54.3%, respectively.
As of December 31, 2004, we had a $175,000,000 credit
facility with a group of banks led by LaSalle Bank National
Association, or LaSalle, with outstanding borrowings of
$58,369,000. The credit facility matures on January 6,
2006. Advances under this credit facility are made available for
the purchase of properties by us and collateralized by the
related property. Advances bear interest, at our election, at
the prime rate or the one-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of
2.5%, declining to 2.25% when we meet certain conditions, which
include no default on advances, and full compliance with the
other covenants. The advances are subject to a floor rate of
3.9%, and require interest only payments on a monthly basis. In
connection with the term of our credit facility, we granted
LaSalle a right of refusal to finance our purchase of other
properties.

|
|
Factors Which May Influence Future Sources of Capital and
Liquidity |
In connection with our initial and second public offerings of
common stock conducted through best efforts offerings from
July 22, 2002 through April 30, 2004, we disclosed the
prior performance of all public and non-public investment
programs sponsored by Triple Net Properties, LLC, our Advisor.
We now have determined that there were certain errors in those
prior performance tables. In particular, the financial
information in the tables was stated to be presented on a GAAP
basis. Generally the tables for the public programs were not
presented on a GAAP basis and the tables for the non-public
programs were prepared and presented on a tax or cash accounting
basis. Moreover, a number of the prior performance data figures
were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash
basis. In particular, certain programs sponsored by our Advisor
have invested either along side or in other programs sponsored
by our Advisor. The nature and results of these investments were
not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables. In general,
the resulting effect is an overstatement of our Advisors
program and aggregate portfolio operating results.
28
As we have previously disclosed, our board of directors is
considering a variety of potential strategic initiatives. When
that process is completed, we intend to announce how we will
address the errors in the prior performance tables described
above.
Financing
As of December 31, 2004, we were not in compliance with a
financial covenant requirement in our mortgage loan agreement
with HSH Nordbank on our One World Trade Center property in Long
Beach, California. As a result, we are required to send all
revenues to a lockbox from which HSH Nordbank satisfies its debt
service requirements and remits remaining funds to us.
During 2004, we borrowed $327,038,000 under various fixed and
variable rate mortgage loans, secured by nine office properties
we acquired in 2004. The fixed interest rate loans require
monthly principal and interest payments based on a fixed rate of
5.2% per annum. Variable interest rate loans include
interest only loans, with interest rates ranging from 3.66% to
5.48% per annum. Loans mature at various dates through June
2011. In September 2004, we paid off one of these loans, a
$14,250,000 mortgage in its entirety.

December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

The percentage of fixed rate debt to total debt at
December 31, 2004 and 2003 does not take into consideration
the portion of variable rate debt capped by our interest-rate
cap agreements. Including the effects of the interest-rate cap
agreements, we had fixed or capped 55.9% and 65.7% of our total
outstanding debt at December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
At December 31, 2004, 82.6% of our total debt required
interest payments based on variable rates. Although the interest
payments on 55.9% of our debt are either fixed, or hedged
through the employment of interest-rate swap and cap agreements
at December 31, 2004, the remaining 44.1% of our debt is
exposed to fluctuations on the one-month LIBOR rate. We cannot
provide assurance that we will be able to replace our
interest-rate swap and cap agreements as they expire and,
therefore, our results of operations could be exposed to rising
interest rates in the future.

We have restricted cash balances of $17,868,000 as of
December 31, 2004 that are held as credit enhancements and
as reserves for property taxes, capital expenditures and capital
improvements in
29
connection with our loan portfolio. When we repay the loans, the
restricted balances that are outstanding at that time will
become available to us as unrestricted funds.
On February 8, 2005, our board of directors approved the
listing for sale of the 525 B Street, San Diego, CA,
and the Congress Center, Chicago, IL properties of which we
own 100% and 30%, respectively. Our board of directors may
decide, based upon certain facts and circumstances and our
disposition strategies, to dispose of other assets in 2005.
Other Liquidity Needs
We are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income
(excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order to qualify
as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. All such
distributions are at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
The amount of distributions will depend on our funds from
operations, financial condition, capital requirements, annual
distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code
and other factors our board of directors deem relevant. We may
be required to use borrowings under our credit facility, if
necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain
our REIT status. We have historically distributed amounts in
excess of our taxable income resulting in a return of capital to
our stockholders. We anticipate that our current distribution
rate will meet our REIT distribution requirements for 2005.
Amounts accumulated for distribution to our stockholders are
invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts and short-term
interest-bearing securities, which are consistent with our
intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Such
investments may include, for example, investments in marketable
equity securities, certificates of deposit and interest-bearing
bank deposits.
We estimate that we will have expenditures for capital
improvements, tenant improvements and lease commissions of up to
$30,900,000 in the next twelve months. As of December 31,
2004, we had $17,868,000 of restricted cash in loan impounds and
reserve accounts for such capital expenditures and the remaining
expenditures will be paid with net cash form operations. We
cannot assure, however, that we will not exceed these estimated
expenditure and distribution levels or be able to obtain
additional sources of financing on commercially favorable terms
or at all.
In the event that there is a shortfall in net cash available due
to factors including, without limitation, the timing of such
distributions or the timing of the collections of receivables,
we may seek to obtain capital to pay distributions by means of
secured debt financing through one or more third parties. We
have additional equity to borrow from our consolidated
properties for such purposes. We may also pay distributions from
cash from capital transactions, including without limitation,
the sale of one or more of our properties.
Our distributions of amounts in excess of our taxable income
have resulted in a return of capital to our stockholders. The
income tax treatment for distributions reportable for the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, was as follows:

If we experience lower occupancy levels, reduced rental rates,
reduced revenues as a result of asset sales, increased capital
expenditures and leasing costs compared to historical levels due
to competitive market conditions for new and renewal leases, the
effect would be a reduction of net cash provided by operating
activities. If any or all of these events occur and if our board
of directors continues to declare distributions to our
stockholders at current levels, we may experience a cash flow
deficit in subsequent periods. In connection with such a
shortfall in net cash available, we may seek to obtain capital
to pay distributions by means of secured debt financing through
one or more third parties. This estimate is based
30
on various assumptions which are difficult to predict, including
the levels of leasing activity at year end and related leasing
costs. Any changes in these assumptions could impact the
financial results and our ability to fund working capital and
unanticipated cash needs. To the extent any distributions are
made to our stockholders in excess of accumulated earnings, the
excess distributions are considered a return of capital to our
stockholders for federal income tax purposes.
Cash Flows
|
|
|
Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 |
Cash flows provided by operating activities increased by
$32,027,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared
to the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was
primarily due to increases in depreciation and amortization
relating to the newly acquired assets and related accounts
payable of the twelve properties acquired in 2004.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $563,218,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2004. The use of cash was
primarily for the acquisition of twelve consolidated properties
purchased during 2004.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $525,347,000
for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase of
$234,653,000 during 2004 compared to 2003 was primarily due to
the issuance of 26,303,000 shares of our common stock that
resulted in net proceeds of $236,109,000 offset in part by the
net cash distributions paid in 2004 of $26,335,000. Net
borrowings under the line of credit and notes payable were
$321,853,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents increased
$2,034,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 to
$17,567,000.

|
Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 |
Cash flows provided by operating activities increased by
$8,487,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to
the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was
primarily due to increases in depreciation and amortization
relating to the newly acquired assets and related accounts
payable of the nine properties acquired in 2003.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $291,418,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2003. The use of cash was
primarily for the acquisition of nine consolidated properties
purchased during 2003.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $290,694,000
for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase of
$255,605,000 during the 2003 period compared to the 2002 period
was primarily due to the issuance of 15,404,000 shares of
common stock that resulted in net proceeds of $138,304,000
offset in part by the net cash distributions paid in 2003 of
$5,285,000. Net borrowings under the line of credit and notes
payable were $161,961,000 for the year ended December 31,
2003.
As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents increased
$7,154,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 to
$15,533,000.
If we experience lower occupancy levels, reduced rental rates,
reduced revenues as a result of asset sales, increased capital
expenditures and leasing costs compared to historical levels due
to competitive market conditions for new and renewal leases, the
effect would be a reduction of net cash provided by operating
activities. If our board of directors continues to declare
distributions for our stockholders at current levels, we expect
a cash flow deficit in subsequent periods. This estimate is
based on various assumptions which are difficult to predict,
including the levels of leasing activity at year end and related
leasing costs. Any changes in these assumptions could impact our
financial results. To the extent any distributions are made to
our stockholders in excess of accumulated earnings, the excess
distributions are considered a return of capital to our
stockholders for federal income tax purposes.
A material adverse change in the net cash provided by operating
activities may affect our ability to fund these items and may
affect the financial performance covenants we must adhere to
under our credit
31
facility and secured notes. If we fail to meet our financial
performance covenants and we are unable to reach a satisfactory
resolution with the lenders, the maturity dates for the
unsecured notes could be accelerated, and our credit facility
could become unavailable to us or the interest charged on our
credit facility could increase. Any of these circumstances could
adversely affect our ability to fund working capital and
unanticipated cash needs and to meet acquisition and development
costs.
General
Our primary sources of capital are our real estate operations,
our ability to leverage the increased market value in the real
estate assets we own and our ability to obtain debt financing
from third parties. As of December 31, 2004, our borrowings
under this credit facility totaled $58,369,000 and remaining
borrowing capacity under our credit facility totaled $8,902,000
and was comprised of undrawn amounts of the secured properties
on the credit facility. We derive substantially all of our
revenues from tenants under leases at our properties. Our
operating cash flow, therefore, depends materially on the rents
that we are able to charge to our tenants and the ability of
these tenants to make their rental payments.
The primary uses of cash are to fund distributions to our
stockholders, to fund capital investment in our existing
portfolio of operating assets, and to fund new acquisitions and
for debt service. We may also regularly require capital to
invest in our existing portfolio of operating assets in
connection with routine capital improvements, deferred
maintenance on our properties recently acquired and leasing
activities, including funding tenant improvements, allowances
and leasing commissions. The amounts of the leasing-related
expenditures can vary significantly depending on negotiations
with tenants and the willingness of tenants to pay higher base
rents over the life of the leases.
We anticipate our source for the payment of distributions to be
funds from operating activities, as well as short-term and
long-term debt and the net proceeds from the sale of one or more
of our properties. We will require up to $30,900,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2005 for capital expenditures,
including, without limitation, tenant and/or capital
improvements and lease commissions. We intend to incur debt to
provide funds to the extent the reserves on deposit with the
lender of $17,868,000 as of December 31, 2004, are not
sufficient or cannot be used for these expenditures. Our board
of directors has approved the listing for sale of the 525 B
Street, San Diego, CA, and the Congress Center,
Chicago, IL properties of which we own 100% and 30%,
respectively. Upon the sale of these properties, we may use the
net proceeds to invest in additional properties.
Distributions payable to our stockholders may include a return
of capital as well as a return in excess of capital.
Distributions exceeding taxable income will constitute a return
of capital for federal income tax purposes to the extent of a
stockholders basis Distributions in excess of tax basis
will generally constitute capital gain.
Public Offering of Equity Securities; Use of Proceeds
Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11/ A under
the Securities Act which was declared effective by the SEC on
July 22, 2002, or our Initial Offering, we offered for sale
to the public on a best efforts basis a maximum of
20,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of
$10.00 per share and up to 1,000,000 additional shares
pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan, or DRIP, pursuant to
which our stockholders could elect to have their dividends
reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. On
February 9, 2004, we terminated our Initial Offering and
began the sale to the public on a best efforts basis
of 27,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of
$10.00 per share and up to 1,500,000 additional shares of
our common stock in accordance with the DRIP pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-11/A declared effective by
the SEC on January 23, 2004, or our Second Offering and,
together with our Initial Offering, our Offerings. On
April 30, 2004, we terminated our Second Offering, the DRIP
and our share repurchase plan.
32
From July 22, 2002 through December 31, 2004, we sold
and issued 43,865,000 shares of our common stock pursuant
to our Offerings which resulted in gross proceeds of
$437,315,000. Net proceeds after selling commissions, marketing
and due diligence costs and organization and offering expenses
totaled $393,018,000.
In connection with our initial and second public offerings of
common stock conducted through best efforts offerings from
July 22, 2002 through April 30, 2004, we disclosed the
prior performance of all public and non-public investment
programs sponsored by Triple Net Properties, LLC, our Advisor.
We now have determined that there were certain errors in those
prior performance tables. In particular, the financial
information in the tables was stated to be presented on a GAAP
basis. Generally the tables for the public programs were not
presented on a GAAP basis and the tables for the non-public
programs were prepared and presented on a tax or cash accounting
basis. Moreover, a number of the prior performance data figures
were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash
basis. In particular, certain programs sponsored by our Advisor
have invested either along side or in other programs sponsored
by our Advisor. The nature and results of these investments were
not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables. In general,
the resulting effect is an overstatement of our Advisors
program and aggregate portfolio operating results.
As we have previously disclosed, our board of directors is
considering a variety of potential strategic initiatives. When
that process is completed, we intend to announce how we will
address the errors in the prior performance tables described
above.
Notes and contracts payable as a percentage of total
capitalization increased to 58.4% at December 31, 2004 from
54.3% at December 31, 2003. This increase was due to the
increase in the amount of mortgage loans incurred in connection
with acquisitions, offset in part by the increase in
stockholders equity due to our Offerings. As of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, our borrowings under mortgage
loans payable were $442,275,000 and $97,257,000, respectively.
Our borrowings under our credit facility at December 31,
2004 and 2003 were $58,369,000 and $81,534,000, respectively.
The operating partnership has a secured credit facility with
LaSalle which matures on January 30, 2006. At
December 31, 2004, advances under this credit facility bear
interest, at our election, at the prime rate or the one-month
LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50%, declining to 2.25% when we
meet certain conditions, which include attaining $50,000,000 in
net worth, no default on advances, and full compliance with
other covenants under the credit facility. Advances are subject
to a floor rate of 3.9%. We are required to make interest only
payments on a monthly basis. On April 1, 2004, we amended
our credit agreement to increase our credit facility to
$185,000,000, to the extent we have secured properties with
comparable equity, with the option to increase the amount up to
$350,000,000, and on August 27, 2004, we amended our credit
agreement to decrease our credit facility to $175,000,000. As of
December 31, 2004, our borrowings under this credit
facility totaled $58,369,000 and undrawn amounts under our
credit facility totaled $8,902,000.
As of December 31, 2004, we had $17,567,000 in cash and
cash equivalents.
We may acquire additional properties and may fund these
acquisitions through utilization of the current cash balances
and/or proceeds received from a combination of subsequent equity
issuances, debt financings or asset dispositions. There may be a
delay between a receipt of funds and the purchase of properties,
which may result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders
of returns generated from property operations. During such a
period, we may temporarily invest any unused proceeds from any
such offering in investments that could yield lower returns than
investments in real estate. Additionally, we may invest excess
cash in interest-bearing accounts and short-term
interest-bearing securities. Such investments may include, for
example, investments in marketable securities, certificates of
deposit and interest-bearing bank deposits.
33
In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes,
we are required to make distributions to our stockholders of at
least 90% of REIT taxable income. In the event that there is a
shortfall in net cash available due to factors including,
without limitation, the timing of such distributions or the
timing of the collections of receivables, we may seek to obtain
capital to pay distributions by means of secured debt financing
through one or more third parties. We have additional equity to
borrow from our consolidated properties that could be used for
such purposes. We may also pay distributions from cash from
capital transactions including, without limitation, the sale of
one or more of our properties.
Total mortgage debt of unconsolidated properties was
$105,606,000 and $105,276,000 at December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively. Our share of unconsolidated debt was
$29,635,000 and $29,490,000 at December 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively. The increase of $145,000
was due to the refinancing of Congress Center, or borrower, in
September 2004.
On September 3, 2004, our Advisor refinanced Congress
Center, or the borrower, with three loans totaling $97,500,000,
through Principal Commercial Funding and Principal Life
Insurance. We own a 30% interest in Congress Center, and in
connection with our payment obligations under the three loans.
Our liability is limited to the extent of our interest in
Congress Center and only rents we are entitled to therefrom. In
connection with the Congress Center refinancing, the unamortized
portion of the capitalized loan costs of $580,000 along with
$253,000 in prepayment penalties related to the early
termination of the loan were expensed in September 2004 by
Congress Center.
The new notes include the following:
Note A is in the amount of $80,000,000 and bears interest
at a fixed rate of 5.635% per annum. The borrower is
required to make monthly interest only payments until the due
date of October 1, 2014. No pre-payments of principal are
permitted until July 1, 2014.
Note B is in the amount of $15,000,000 and bears interest
at a fixed rate of 5.635% per annum. The borrower is
required to make monthly interest only payments until the due
date of October 1, 2014. No pre-payments of principal are
permitted until July 1, 2014.
Note C is in the amount of $2,500,000 and bears interest at
a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum. The borrower is required to
make monthly interest only payments until October 1, 2006.
Thereafter, the property is required to make monthly principal
and interest payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule
until the due date of October 1, 2014. No pre-payments of
principal are permitted until July 1, 2014.

Debt Service Requirements
Our principal liquidity needs are payments of interest and
principal on outstanding indebtedness, which includes mortgages
and our credit facility. As of December 31, 2004, 15 of our
properties were subject to existing mortgages which had an
aggregate principal amount outstanding of $500,644,000,
including our outstanding balance on our credit facility, which
consisted of $87,264,000, or 17% allocable fixed rate debt at a
weighted average interest rate of 5.36% per annum and
$413,380,000 of variable rate debt at a weighted average
interest rate of 4.17% per annum. The variable rate debt
includes $58,369,000 on our credit facility. Approximately
$178,400,000, or 43%, of our variable rate debt is subject to
various interest rate swap, cap and collar agreements that at
December 31, 2004 convert some of this debt into fixed rate
debt at interest rates ranging from 1.50% to 5.75% per
annum. As of December 31, 2004, the weighted averaged
interest rate on our outstanding debt was 4.37% per annum.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements |
There are no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or
obligations (including contingent obligations) that have, or are
reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect
on our financial condition, changes in the financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources.
36
On September 16, 2004, our Advisor advised us that it
learned that the SEC is conducting an investigation referred to
as In the matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.
The SEC has requested information from our Advisor relating
to disclosure in securities offerings (including offerings by
us, T REIT, Inc. and A REIT, Inc.) and the exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the
private offerings in which our Advisor and its affiliated
entities were involved and exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Exchange Act for several entities. The SEC
has requested financial and other information regarding these
entities as well as the limited liability companies advised by
our Advisor, including us. Our Advisor has advised us that it
intends to cooperate fully with the SECs investigation.
This investigation could focus on or involve us and fines,
penalties or administrative remedies could be asserted against
us.
We cannot at this time assess the outcome, of the investigation
by the SEC. Therefore, at this time, we have not accrued any
loss contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5.
Inflation
We will be exposed to inflation risk as income from long-term
leases is expected to be the primary source of our cash flows
from operations. We expect that there will be provisions in the
majority of our tenant leases that would protect us from the
impact of inflation. These provisions include rent steps,
reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through
charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per
square foot allowance. However, due to the long-term nature of
the leases, among other factors, the leases may not re-set
frequently enough to cover inflation.
Funds from Operations
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards
established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of
Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trust, or NAREIT, as revised in February 2004. The White Paper
defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with
GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property but
including asset impairment write downs, plus depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated
joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO.
We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a
REITs operating performance as it is based on a net income
analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes
non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting
convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line
depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that
the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over
time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with
market conditions, presentations of operating results for a
REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be
less informative. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT
industry as a supplemental performance measure.
Presentation of this information is intended to assist the
reader in comparing the operating performance of different
REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate
FFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be
meaningful. Furthermore, FFO is not necessarily indicative of
cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of
our performance.
Our FFO reporting complies with NAREITs policy described
above.

Subsequent Events
On February 8, 2005, our board of directors approved the
listing for sale of the 525 B Street, San Diego, CA, and
the Congress Center, Chicago, IL properties of which we own
100% and 30%, respectively.
On February 10, 2005, a special committee, or the Special
Committee,, of our board of directors engaged Robert A.
Stanger & Co., Inc., or Stanger, to advise us regarding
strategic alternatives.
Effective March 8, 2005, our board of directors appointed
Glenn L. Carpenter to serve as an independent director.
In connection with our initial and second public offerings of
common stock conducted through best efforts offerings from
July 22, 2002 through April 30, 2004, we disclosed the
prior performance of all public and non-public investment
programs sponsored by Triple Net Properties, LLC, our Advisor.
We now have determined that there were certain errors in those
prior performance tables. In particular, the financial
information in the tables was stated to be presented on a GAAP
basis. Generally the tables for the public programs were not
presented on a GAAP basis and the tables for the non-public
programs were prepared and presented on a tax or cash accounting
basis. Moreover, a number of the prior performance data figures
were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash
basis. In particular, certain programs sponsored by our Advisor
have invested either along side or in other programs sponsored
by our Advisor. The nature and results of these investments were
not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables. In general,
the resulting effect is an overstatement of our Advisors
program and aggregate portfolio operating results.
As we have previously disclosed, our board of directors is
considering a variety of potential strategic initiatives. When
that process is completed, we intend to announce how we will
address the errors in the prior performance tables described
above.

Potential Property Acquisitions |
We are currently considering several other potential property
acquisitions. The decision to acquire one or more of these
properties will generally depend upon the following conditions,
among others:
|
|
|
|
|
receipt of a satisfactory environmental survey and property
appraisal for each property; |
|
|
|
no material adverse change occurring in the properties, the
tenants or in the local economic conditions; and |
|
|
|
receipt of sufficient financing |
There can be no assurance that any or all of the conditions will
be satisfied.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or
FASB, revised FASB Interpretation No. 46, or FIN 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, issued in
January 2003, an interpretation of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements
(FIN 46R). FIN 46R requires that variable interest
entities be consolidated by a company if that company is subject
to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest
entitys activities or is entitled to receive a majority of
the entitys residual returns or both. FIN 46R also
requires disclosures about variable interest entities that
companies are not required to consolidate but in which a company
has a significant variable interest. The consolidation
requirements of FIN 46R apply immediately to variable
interest entities created after December 31, 2003. The
consolidation requirements will apply to entities established
prior to December 31, 2003, in the first fiscal year or in
the interim period beginning after December 15, 2004. We do
not believe the adoption of such interpretation will have a
material impact on our results of operations or financial
condition.
In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached
a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain
Investments, or EITF 03-1. EITF 03-1 provides
guidance for determining when an investment is
other-than-temporarily impaired to be applied in reporting
periods beginning after June 15, 2004 and contains
disclosure requirements effective in annual financial statements
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003 for
investments accounted for under SFAS Nos. 115 and 124. For
all other investments within the scope of this Issue, the
disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after
June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB delayed the
accounting provisions of EITF 03-1; however, the disclosure
requirements remain effective. We have evaluated the impact of
the adoption of EITF 03-1 and do not believe it will have a
material effect on our financial condition or results of
operations.
In April 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
FAS 129-1, Disclosure Requirements under FASB
Statement No. 129, Disclosure of Information about Capital
Structure, Relating to Contingently Convertible Financial
Instruments, or FASP FAS 129-1. FSP FAS 129-1
provides guidance on disclosures of contingently convertible
financial instruments, including those containing contingent
conversion requirements that have not been met and are not
otherwise required to be included in the calculation of diluted
earnings per share. The statement was effective immediately, and
applies to all existing and newly created securities. The
adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our
results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 123 (revised),
Share-Based Payment, or FAS 123(R).
FAS 123(R) requires that all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be
recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
The new standard will be effective in the first reporting period
ending after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement
is not expected to have a material effect on our results of
operations or financial condition.

Risk Factors
|
|
|
The pending SEC investigation of our Advisor could result
in regulatory actions against us which could negatively impact
our ability to pay distributions. |
On September 16, 2004, our Advisor advised us that it
learned that the SEC is conducting an investigation referred to
as In the matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.
The SEC has requested information from our Advisor relating
to disclosure in securities offerings (including offerings by
us, T REIT, Inc. and A REIT, Inc.) and the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the
private offerings in which our Advisor and its affiliated
entities were involved and exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Exchange Act for several entities. The SEC
has requested financial and other information regarding these
entities as well as the limited liability companies advised by
our Advisor, including us. This investigation could focus on or
involve us and fines, penalties or administrative remedies could
be asserted against us which could have a material adverse
impact on our results of operations and ability to pay
distributions to our stockholders.
|
|
|
Erroneous disclosures in the prior performance tables in
our public offerings could result in lawsuits or other actions
against us which could have a material adverse effect upon our
business and results of operations. |
In connection with our initial and second public offerings of
common stock conducted through best efforts offerings from
July 22, 2002 through April 30, 2004, we disclosed the
prior performance of all public and non-public investment
programs sponsored by Triple Net Properties, LLC, our Advisor.
We now have determined that there were certain errors in those
prior performance tables. In particular, the financial
information in the tables was stated to be presented on a GAAP
basis. Generally the tables for the public programs were not
presented on a GAAP basis and the tables for the non-public
programs were prepared and presented on a tax or cash accounting
basis. Moreover, a number of the prior performance data figures
were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash
basis. In particular, certain programs sponsored by our Advisor
have invested either along side or in other programs sponsored
by our Advisor. The nature and results of these investments were
not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables. In general,
the resulting effect is an overstatement of our Advisors
program and aggregate portfolio operating results. The
overstatement of results could result in lawsuits or other
actions against us which could have a material adverse effect
upon our business and results of operations.
|
|
|
Distributions by us may include a return of
capital. |
Distributions payable to stockholders may include a return of
capital as well as a return in excess of capital. Distributions
exceeding taxable income will constitute a return of capital for
federal income tax purposes to the extent of a
stockholders basis Distributions in excess of tax basis
will generally constitute capital gain.
|
|
|
Due to the risks involved in the ownership of real estate,
there is no guarantee of any return on your investment and you
may lose some or all of your investment. |
By owning shares of our common stock, our stockholders will be
subjected to the risks associated with owning real estate.
Ownership of real estate is subject to significant risks. The
performance of your investment in us is subject to risks related
to the ownership and operation of real estate, including:
|
|
|
|
|
changes in the general economic climate; |
|
|
|
changes in local conditions such as an oversupply of space or
reduction in demand for real estate; |
|
|
|
changes in interest rates and the availability of
financing; and |
|
|
|
changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those
governing real estate usage, zoning and taxes. |
40
If our assets decrease in value, the value of your investment
will likewise decrease and you could lose some or all of your
investment.
|
|
|
Our properties face significant competition. |
We face significant competition from other owners, operators and
developers of office properties. All or substantially all of our
properties face competition from similar properties in the same
markets. Such competition may affect our ability to attract and
retain tenants and may reduce the rents we are able to charge.
These competing properties may have vacancy rates higher than
our properties, which may cause their owners to rent space at
lower rental rates than those charged by us or to provide
greater tenant improvement allowances or other leasing
concessions. As a result, we may be required to provide rent
concessions, incur charges for tenant improvements and other
inducements, or we may not be able to timely lease the space,
all of which would adversely impact our results of operations,
liquidity and financial condition, which could reduce
distributions to our stockholders. In the event that we elect to
acquire additional properties, we will compete with other buyers
who are also interested in acquiring such properties, which may
result in an increase in the cost that we pay for such
properties or may result in us ultimately not being able to
acquire such properties. At the time we elect to dispose of one
or more of our properties, we will be in competition with
sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers,
which may result in us receiving lower proceeds from the
disposal or result in us not being able to dispose of the
property due to the lack of an acceptable return.
|
|
|
Competition with entities that have greater financial
resources may limit our investment opportunities. |
We compete for investment opportunities with entities with
substantially greater financial resources. These entities may be
able to accept more risk than we can manage wisely. This
competition may limit the number of suitable investment
opportunities offered to us. This competition also may increase
the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell to us,
making it more difficult for us to acquire properties. In
addition, we believe that competition from entities organized
for purposes similar to ours has increased and is likely to
increase in the future.
|
|
|
We depend upon our tenants to pay rent, and their
inability to pay rent may substantially reduce our revenues and
cash available for distribution to our stockholders. |
Our investments in office properties are subject to varying
degrees of risk that generally arise from the ownership of real
estate. The underlying value of our properties and the ability
to make distributions to our stockholders depend upon the
ability of the tenants of our properties to generate enough
income in excess of their operating expenses to make their lease
payments to us. Changes beyond our control may adversely affect
our tenants ability to make lease payments and,
consequently, would substantially reduce both our income from
operations and our ability to make distributions to our
stockholders. These changes include, among others, the following:
|
|
|
|
|
downturns in national, regional or local economic conditions
where our properties are located, which generally will
negatively impact the demand for office space and rental rates; |
|
|
|
changes in local market conditions such as an oversupply of
office properties, including space available by sublease, or a
reduction in demand for office properties, making it more
difficult for us to lease space at attractive rental rates or at
all; |
|
|
|
competition from other available office properties, which could
cause us to lose current or prospective tenants or cause us to
reduce rental rates; |
|
|
|
the ability to pay for adequate maintenance, insurance, utility,
security and other operating costs, including real estate taxes
and debt service payments, that are not necessarily reduced when
circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a
reduction in income from a property; and |
41
|
|
|
|
|
changes in federal, state or local regulations and controls
affecting rents, prices of goods, interest rates, fuel and
energy consumption. |
Due to these changes, among others, tenants and lease
guarantors, if any, may be unable to make their lease payments.
A default by a tenant or the failure of a tenants
guarantor to fulfill its obligations, or other early termination
of a lease could, depending upon the size of the leased premises
and our Advisors ability to successfully find a substitute
tenant, have a material adverse effect on our revenues and cash
available for distribution to its members. Moreover, as of
December 31, 2004, rent paid by the ten largest tenants at
our consolidated properties represented 31.7% of our annualized
revenues. The revenues generated by the properties these tenants
occupy is substantially dependent on the financial condition of
these tenants and, accordingly, any event of bankruptcy,
insolvency or a general downturn in the business of any of these
large tenants may result in the failure or delay of such
tenants rental payments which may have an adverse impact
on our financial performance and our ability to pay
distributions to our stockholders.
|
|
|
Lack of diversification and illiquidity of real estate may
make it difficult for us to sell underperforming properties or
recover our investment in one or more properties. |
Our business is subject to risks associated with investment
solely in real estate. Real estate investments are relatively
illiquid. Our ability to vary our portfolio in response to
changes in economic and other conditions is limited. We cannot
provide assurance that it will be able to dispose of a property
when we want or need to. Consequently, the sale price for any
property may not recoup or exceed the amount of our investment.
|
|
|
Lack of geographic diversity may expose us to regional
economic downturns that could adversely impact our operations or
our ability to recover our investment in one or more
properties. |
Our portfolio lacks geographic diversity, as we own a majority
of our properties in only two states: California and Texas. This
geographic concentration of properties exposes us to economic
downturns in these regions. A recession in either of these
states could adversely affect our ability to generate or
increase operating revenues, attract new tenants or dispose of
properties. In addition, our properties may face competition in
these states from other properties owned, operated or managed by
our Advisor or its affiliates. Our Advisor or its affiliates
have interests that may vary from our interests in such states.
|
|
|
Our properties depend upon the California economy and the
demand for office space. |
We have a 52.5% concentration of tenants in our California
properties. We are susceptible to adverse developments in
California (such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry
slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics,
increased telecommuting, terrorist targeting of high-rise
structures, infrastructure quality, California state budgetary
constraints and priorities, increases in real estate and other
taxes, costs of complying with government regulations or
increased regulation and other factors) and the national and
California office space market (such as oversupply of or reduced
demand for office space). In addition, the State of California
continues to address issues related to budget deficits,
shortages of electricity, interruptions in power service,
increased energy costs, and the continued solvency of its
utility companies, any or all of which may create the perception
that the State is not able to effectively manage itself, in turn
reducing demand for office space in California. The State of
California is also generally regarded as more litigious and more
highly regulated and taxed than many states, which may reduce
demand for office space in California. Any adverse economic or
real estate developments in California, or any decrease in
demand for office space resulting from Californias
regulatory environment, business climate or energy or fiscal
problems, could adversely impact our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flow, and our ability to satisfy our
debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our
stockholders. We cannot assure the continued growth of the
California economy or the national economy or our future growth
rate.
42
|
|
|
Losses for which we either could not or did not obtain
insurance will adversely affect our earnings and we may be
unable to comply with insurance requirements contained in
mortgage or other agreements due to high insurance costs. |
We endeavor to maintain comprehensive insurance on each of the
properties we own, including liability and fire and extended
coverage, in amounts sufficient to permit the replacement of the
properties in the event of a total loss, subject to applicable
deductibles. However, we could still suffer a loss due to the
cost to repair any damage to properties that are not insured or
are underinsured. There are types of losses, generally of a
catastrophic nature, such as losses due to terrorism, wars,
earthquakes, floods or acts of God that are either uninsurable
or not economically insurable. If such a catastrophic event were
to occur, or cause the destruction of one or more of our
properties, we could lose both our invested capital and
anticipated profits from such property or properties.
Additionally, we could default under debt or other agreements if
the cost and/or availability of certain types of insurance make
it impractical or impossible to comply with covenants relating
to the insurance we are required to maintain under such
agreements. In such instances, we may be required to self-insure
against certain losses or seek other forms of financial
assurance. Additionally, inflation, changes in building codes
and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors
also might make it infeasible to use insurance proceeds to
replace a property if it is damaged or destroyed. Under such
circumstances, the insurance proceeds received by us might not
be adequate to restore our economic position with respect to the
affected property.
|
|
|
Our co-ownership arrangements with affiliated entities may
not reflect solely our stockholders best interests and may
subject these investments to increased risks. |
We have acquired our interests in the Congress Center, Western
Place I & II and One Financial Plaza properties through
co-ownership arrangements with one or more affiliates of our
Advisor. These acquisitions were financed, in part, by loans
under which we are jointly and severally liable for the entire
loan amount along with the other co-owners. The terms of these
co-ownership arrangements may be more favorable to the co-owner
than to our stockholders. In addition, investing in properties
through co-ownership arrangements subjects that investment to
risks not present in a wholly-owned property, including, among
others, the following:
|
|
|
|
|
the risk that the co-owner(s) in the investment might become
bankrupt; |
|
|
|
the risk that the co-owner(s) may at any time have economic or
business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our
business interests or goals; |
|
|
|
the risk that the co-owner(s) may be unable to make required
payments on loans under which we are jointly and severally
liable; or |
|
|
|
the risk that the co-owner(s) may be in a position to take
action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to
our policies or objectives, such as selling a property at a time
when it would have adverse consequences to us. |
Actions by co-owner(s) might have the result of subjecting the
applicable property to liabilities in excess of those otherwise
contemplated and may have the effect of reducing our cash
available for distribution to our stockholders. It also may be
difficult for us to sell our interest in any co-ownership
arrangement at the time we deem best for our stockholders.
|
|
|
There is currently no public market for our common stock.
Therefore, it will likely be difficult for you to sell your
shares and, if you are able to sell your shares, you will likely
do so at a substantial discount from the price you paid. |
There currently is no public market for our common stock.
Additionally, our charter contains restrictions on the ownership
and transfer of our stock, and these restrictions may inhibit
your ability to sell your common stock. It may be difficult for
you to sell your shares promptly or at all. If you are able to
sell your common stock, you may only be able to do so at a
substantial discount from the price you paid.
43
|
|
|
If we cannot successfully negotiate an extension of our
Advisory Agreement, we could lose the services of our Advisor,
which may increase operating expenses, and delay or reduce our
distributions. |
We are advised by our Advisor pursuant to an Advisory Agreement
that will expire on July 22, 2005. Our Advisor currently
manages our daily operations, provides our executive officers
and pays certain of our state, federal and local corporate
compliance costs, including, without limitation, costs incurred
in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that our
Advisor might require that we bear certain of these compliance
costs directly under the terms of any renewal of the Advisory
Agreement, including the compliance costs associated with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as a condition to agreeing to extend the
term of the Advisory Agreement. If we are unable to successfully
negotiate an extension of the Advisory Agreement on terms as
favorable as our current Advisory Agreement, or at all, our
operating expenses may increase because of the loss of our
Advisors experience and familiarity with our assets and
business.
|
|
|
Our success will be dependent on the performance of our
Advisor as well as key employees of our Advisor. |
We are managed by our Advisor, subject to the oversight of our
board of directors. Thus, our ability to achieve our investment
objectives and to pay distributions is dependent upon the
performance of our Advisor and its key employees in the
discovery and acquisition of investments, the selection of
tenants, the determination of any financing arrangements, the
management of our assets and operation of our day-to-day
activities. We rely on the management ability of our Advisor and
the oversight of our board of directors as well as the
management of any entities or ventures in which we co-invest. If
our Advisor suffers or is distracted by adverse financial or
operational problems in connection with its operations unrelated
to us, our Advisors ability to allocate time and/or
resources to our operations may be adversely affected. If our
Advisor is unable to allocate sufficient resources to oversee
and perform our operations for any reason, our results of
operations would be adversely impacted. Please see
Conflicts of Interest The
conflicts of interest described below may mean we will not be
managed solely in the best interests of our stockholders.
|
|
|
Our use of borrowings to partially fund acquisitions and
improvements on properties could result in foreclosures and
unexpected debt service expenses upon refinancing, both of which
could have an adverse impact on our operations and cash flow,
and restrictive covenants in our loan documents may restrict our
operating or acquisition activities. |
We rely on borrowings and other external sources of financing to
partially fund the costs of new investments, capital
expenditures and other items. As of December 31, 2004, we
had $500,644,000 of debt outstanding related to our portfolio of
properties. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks normally
associated with debt financing, including, without limitation,
the risk that our cash flow may not be sufficient to cover
required debt service payments. There is also a risk that, if
necessary, existing indebtedness will not be able to be
refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing will not be as
favorable as the terms of the existing indebtedness.
In addition, if we cannot meet our required mortgage payment
obligations, the property or properties subject to such mortgage
indebtedness could be foreclosed upon by, or otherwise
transferred to, our lender, with a consequent loss of income and
asset value to us. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our
properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a
purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt
secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt
secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property,
we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we may not
receive any cash proceeds.
The mortgages on our properties contain customary restrictive
covenants such as satisfaction of certain total debt-to-asset
ratios, secured debt-to-total-asset ratios, and debt service
coverage ratios. The mortgages also include provisions that may
limit the borrowing subsidiarys ability, without the prior
consent of the lender, to incur additional indebtedness, further
mortgage or transfer the applicable property, discontinue
insurance coverage, change the conduct of its business or make
loans or advances to, enter into any transaction of merger or
consolidation with, or acquire the business, assets or equity
of, any third party. In
44
addition, any future lines of credit or loans may contain
financial covenants, further restrictive covenants and other
obligations.
If we materially breach such covenants or obligations in our
debt agreements, the lender may, including, without limitation,
seize our income from the property securing the loan or legally
declare a default on the obligation, require us to repay the
debt immediately and foreclose on the property securing the
loan. If we were to breach such covenants or obligations, we may
then have to sell properties either at a loss or at a time that
prevents us from achieving a higher price. Any failure to pay
our indebtedness when due or failure to cure events of default
could result in higher interest rates during the period of the
loan default and could ultimately result in the loss of
properties through foreclosure. Additionally, if the lender were
to seize our income from the property securing the loan, we
would no longer have any discretion over the use of the income,
which may adversely impact our ability to fund our distribution
payments and possibly cause us to fail to satisfy the REIT
distribution requirements.
|
|
|
The pending SEC investigation of our Advisor could result
in defaults or alleged defaults under our loan documents or
limit our ability to obtain debt financing in the future. |
We rely on debt financing for our acquisition of new investments
and for meeting capital expenditure obligations, among other
things. The SEC investigation of our Advisor described above, or
any related enforcement action by government authorities against
our Advisor or us, could result in defaults or alleged defaults
under our existing credit facility or loan agreements or could
make it more difficult for us to obtain new debt financing or
prevent us from satisfying customary debt covenants or
conditions required by existing loan documents, including
conditions for additional advances.
|
|
|
If we purchase assets at a time when the commercial real
estate market is experiencing substantial influxes of capital
investment and competition for properties, the real estate we
purchase may not appreciate or may decrease in value. |
The commercial real estate market is currently experiencing a
substantial influx of capital from investors. This substantial
flow of capital, combined with significant competition for real
estate, may result in inflated purchase prices for such assets.
To the extent we purchase real estate in such an environment, we
are subject to the risk that if the real estate market ceases to
attract the same level of capital investment in the future as it
is currently attracting, or if the number of companies seeking
to acquire such assets decreases, our returns will be lower and
the value of our assets may not appreciate or may decrease
significantly below the amount we paid for such assets.
|
|
|
Because some of our principal tenants are the
U.S. government and state agencies, our properties may have
a higher risk of terrorist attack than similar properties leased
to non-governmental tenants. |
Because some of our principal tenants are the
U.S. government and state agencies, our properties may have
a higher risk of terrorist attack than similar properties that
are leased to non-government tenants. Some of our properties
could be considered high profile targets because of
the particular government tenant (e.g., the FBI). Certain losses
resulting from terrorist attacks may be uninsurable. Additional
terrorism insurance may not be available at a reasonable price
or at all.
|
|
|
We depend on the U.S. government for a significant
portion of our revenues. Any failure by the U.S. government
to perform its obligations or renew its leases upon expiration
may harm our cash flow and ability to pay dividends. |
Rent from our government tenants represented 47.8% of our
revenues from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 2004. In addition, our government tenants
leased 40.8% of our total leased square feet of property as of
December 31, 2004. Any default by the U.S. government,
or its failure to renew its leases with us upon their
expiration, could cause interruptions in the receipt of lease
revenue or result in vacancies, or both, which would reduce our
revenues and could decrease the ultimate value of the affected
property upon sale. Further, failure on the part of a tenant to
comply with the terms of a lease may cause us to find another
tenant. We cannot assure you that we would be able to find
another tenant
45
without incurring substantial costs, or at all, or that, if
another tenant were found, we would be able to enter into a new
lease on favorable terms.
|
|
|
An increase in the operating costs of our
government-leased properties would harm our cash flow and
ability to pay dividends. |
Leased properties in which the tenant is wholly responsible for
any increases in operating costs that apply to the property are
not typical of the leases entered into through the GSA, the
principal leasing agency of the federal government. Under
present practice, most GSA leases only cover increases in real
estate taxes above a base amount and these GSA leases also
increase that portion of the rent applicable to other operating
expenses by an agreed upon percentage based upon the Consumer
Price Index. Typically, operating expenses in these leases do
not include insurance cost. To the extent operating costs other
than real estate taxes and insurance increase at a rate greater
than the specified percentage, our cash flow would be harmed and
our ability to pay distributions may be harmed.
|
|
|
Increasing competition for the acquisition of
government-leased properties may impede our ability to make
future acquisitions or may increase the cost of these
acquisitions. |
We compete with many other entities for the acquisition of
government-leased properties. Our competitors include financial
institutions, institutional pension funds, other REITs, other
public and private real estate companies and private real estate
investors. These competitors may prevent us from acquiring
desirable properties or increase the price we must pay for
properties. Our competitors may have greater resources than we
do and may be willing to pay more for similar property. In
addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds
competing for government-leased properties may increase in the
future, resulting in increased demand and increased prices paid
for these properties. If we are forced to pay higher prices for
properties, our profitability may decrease, and our stockholders
may experience a lower return on their investment.
|
|
|
Since our cash flow is not assured, we may not pay
distributions in the future. |
Our ability to pay distributions may be adversely affected by
the risks described herein. We cannot assure you that we will be
able to pay distributions in the future at the same level or at
all. We also cannot assure you that the level of our
distributions will increase over time or the receipt of income
from additional property acquisitions will necessarily increase
our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
|
|
|
Our board of directors may alter our investment policies
at any time without stockholder approval. |
Our board of directors may alter our investment policies at any
time without stockholder approval. Changes to these policies may
adversely affect our financial performance and our ability to
maintain or pay distributions.
|
|
|
Our past performance is not a predictor of our future
results. |
Neither the track record of our Advisor in managing us, nor its
performance with entities similar to ours shall imply or predict
(directly or indirectly) any level of our future performance or
the future performance of our Advisor. Our Advisors
performance and our performance is dependent on future events
and is, therefore, inherently uncertain. Past performance cannot
be relied upon to predict future events for a variety of
factors, including, without limitation, varying business
strategies, different local and national economic circumstances,
different supply and demand characteristics relevant to buyers
and sellers of assets, varying degrees of competition and
varying circumstances pertaining to the capital markets.

Certain provisions of Maryland law and our charter and

Certain provisions of Maryland law and our charter and bylaws
could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing
transactions that involve an actual or threatened change in
control of us, and may have the effect of entrenching our
management and members of our board of directors, regardless of
performance.

Conflicts of Interest
|
|
|
The conflicts of interest described below may mean we will
not be managed solely in the best interests of our
stockholders. |
Our Advisors officers and members of its board of managers
have conflicts of interest relating to the management of our
business and properties. Accordingly, those parties may make
decisions or take actions based on factors other than in the
best interests of our stockholders. Our Advisor also advises
T REIT, Inc., NNN 2002 Value Fund, LLC and NNN 2003
Value Fund, LLC and other private tenant-in-common and other
programs that may compete with us or otherwise have similar
business interests and/or investment objectives. Some of our
Advisors officers and managers also serve as officers and
directors of T REIT, NNN 2002 Value Fund, LLC and NNN 2003 Value
Fund, LLC. Mr. Thompson and the members of the board of
managers and key executives of our Advisor collectively own
approximately 43% of our Advisor. As officers, directors,
managers and partial owners of entities that do business with us
or that have interests in competition with our own interests,
these individuals will experience conflicts between their
fiduciary obligations to us and their fiduciary obligations to,
and pecuniary interests in, our Advisor and its affiliated
entities. These conflicts of interest could:
|
|
|
|
|
limit the time and services that our Advisor devotes to us,
because our Advisor will be providing similar services to T
REIT, Inc., NNN 2002 Value Fund, LLC and NNN 2003 Value Fund,
LLC and other real estate programs and properties; |
|
|
|
impair our ability to compete for tenants in geographic areas
where other properties are advised by our Advisor and its
affiliates; and |
|
|
|
impair our ability to compete for the acquisition of properties
with other real estate entities that are also advised by our
Advisor and its affiliates. |
If our Advisor or its affiliates breach their fiduciary
obligations to us, we may not meet our investment objectives,
which could reduce the expected cash available for distribution
to our stockholders.
|
|
|
The absence of arms length bargaining may mean that
our agreements are not as favorable to our stockholders as these
agreements otherwise would have been. |
Any existing or future agreements between us and our Advisor,
Realty or their affiliates were not and will not be reached
through arms length negotiations. Thus, such agreements
may not solely reflect your interests as a stockholder. For
example, the Advisory Agreement was not the result of arms
length negotiations. As a result, this agreement may be
relatively more favorable to our Advisor than to us.
Risks associated with being a REIT
|
|
|
If we fail to qualify as a REIT, our stockholders could be
adversely affected. |
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT. To maintain REIT status,
we must satisfy a number of highly technical requirements on a
continuing basis. Those requirements seek to ensure, among other
things, the following:
|
|
|
|
|
that the gross income and investments of a REIT are largely real
estate related, including mortgages secured by real estate; |
|
|
|
that a REIT distributes substantially all its ordinary taxable
income to its stockholders on a current basis; and |
|
|
|
that the REITs equity ownership is not overly concentrated. |
Due to the complex nature of these rules, the available guidance
concerning interpretation of the rules, the importance of
ongoing factual determinations and the possibility of adverse
changes in the law, administrative interpretations of the law
and changes in our business, no assurance can be given that we
will qualify as a REIT for any particular year.
47
If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will be taxed as a regular
corporation, and distributions to our stockholders will not be
deductible in computing our taxable income. The resulting
corporate income tax liabilities could materially reduce the
distributable cash flow to our stockholders and funds available
for reinvestment. Moreover, we might not be able to elect to be
treated as a REIT for the next four taxable years after the year
during which we ceased to qualify as a REIT. In addition, if we
later requalified as a REIT, we might be required to pay a full
corporate-level tax on any unrealized gains in our assets as of
the date of requalification and to make distributions to our
stockholders equal to any earnings accumulated during the period
of non-REIT status. If we do not maintain our status as a REIT,
we will not be required to make distributions to our
stockholders.
|
|
|
We may not be able to meet, or we may need to incur
borrowings that would otherwise not be incurred to meet, REIT
minimum distribution requirements. |
In order to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, we
are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of
our annual ordinary taxable income. In addition, the Code will
subject us to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if
any, by which certain distributions paid by us with respect to
any calendar year are less than the sum of (i) 85% of our
ordinary income for that year, (ii) 95% of our capital gain
net income for that year and (iii) 100% of our
undistributed taxable income from prior years.
We expect our income, if any, to consist almost solely of our
portion of the operating partnerships income, and the cash
available for the payment of distributions by us to our
stockholders will consist of our portion of cash distributions
made by the operating partnership. As the general partner of the
operating partnership, we will determine the amount of any
distributions made by the operating partnership. However, we
must consider a number of factors in making such distributions,
including:
|
|
|
|
|
the amount of the cash available for distribution; |
|
|
|
the impact of such distribution on other partners of the
operating partnership; |
|
|
|
the operating partnerships financial condition; |
|
|
|
the operating partnerships capital expenditure
requirements and reserves therefore; and |
|
|
|
the annual distribution requirements contained in the Code
necessary to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT. |
Differences in timing between the actual receipt of income and
actual payment of deductible expenses and the inclusion of such
income and deduction of such expenses when determining our
taxable income, as well as the effect of nondeductible capital
expenditures, the creation of reserves, the use of cash to
purchase shares under our share redemption program or required
debt amortization payments, could result in our having taxable
income that exceeds cash available for distribution.
In view of the foregoing, we may be unable to meet the REIT
minimum distribution requirements and/or avoid the 4% excise tax
described above. In certain cases, we may decide to borrow funds
in order to meet the REIT minimum distribution and/or avoid the
4% excise tax even if our management believes that the then
prevailing market conditions generally are not favorable for
such borrowings or that such borrowings would not be advisable
in the absence of such tax considerations.
|
|
|
Because of our inability to retain earnings, we will rely
on debt and equity financings for acquisitions. If we do not
have sufficient capital resources from such financings, our
growth may be limited. |
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are
required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our
annual ordinary taxable income. This requirement limits our
ability to retain income or cash flow from operations to finance
the acquisition of new investments. We will explore acquisition
opportunities from time to time with the intention of expanding
our operations and increasing our profitability. We anticipate
that we will use debt and equity financing for such acquisitions
because of our inability to retain
48
significant earnings. Consequently, if we cannot obtain debt or
equity financing on acceptable terms, our ability to acquire new
investments and expand our operations will be adversely affected.
|
|
|
We may be harmed by changes in tax laws applicable to
REITs, or the reduced 15% tax rate on certain corporate
dividends. |
Changes to the laws and regulations affecting us, including
changes to securities laws and changes to the Code applicable to
the taxation of REITs may harm our business. New legislation may
be enacted into law or new interpretations, rulings or
regulations could be adopted, any of which could harm us and our
stockholders, potentially with retroactive effect.
Generally, distributions paid by REITs are not eligible for the
15% U.S. federal income tax rate on certain corporate
dividends, with certain exceptions. The more favorable treatment
of regular corporate dividends could cause domestic
non-corporate investors to consider stocks of other corporations
that pay dividends as more attractive relative to stocks of
REITs. It is not possible to predict whether the reduced 15% tax
rate on certain corporate dividends will affect the value of our
common stock or what the effect will be.
|
|
|
We may incur a 100% tax on any prohibited
transactions. |
We will incur a 100% tax on the net income derived from any sale
or other disposition of property, other than foreclosure
property, that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the
ordinary course of a trade or business, which effectively limits
our ability to sell properties other than on a selected basis.
These restrictions on our ability to sell our properties could
have an adverse effect on our financial position, results from
operations, cash flows, and ability to repay indebtedness and to
pay distributions to our stockholders. We believe that none of
our portfolio assets are held-for-sale to customers and that a
sale of any of our portfolio assets would not be in the ordinary
course of our business.
|

Item 7A. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk |
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of
our long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital
expenditures and expansion of our real estate investment
portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk objectives are
to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and
cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve
these objectives we borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable
rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with
the ability to convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. We
may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest
rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to seek to mitigate
our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do
not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for
speculative purposes.
Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of
techniques. The table below presents, as of December 31,
2004, the principal amounts and weighted average interest rates
by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows
and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

The weighted average interest rate of our mortgage debt as of
December 31, 2004 was 4.37% per annum. At
December 31, 2004, our mortgage debt consisted of
$87,264,000, or 17%, of the total debt at a fixed interest rate
of 5.36% per annum and $413,380,000, or 83%, of the total
debt at a variable interest
49
rate of 4.17% per annum. An increase in the variable
interest rate on certain mortgages payable constitutes a market
risk. As of December 31, 2004, for example a 0.25% increase
in LIBOR would have increased our overall annual interest
expense by $962,000 or less than 5.6%.

Item 9. |
Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on
Accounting and Financial Disclosure |
Dismissal of Grant Thornton and Engagement of
Deloitte & Touche, LLP
Effective February 8, 2004, our board of directors
dismissed Grant Thornton LLP, or Grant Thornton, as our
independent certified public accountant based on the
recommendation of the audit committee of our board of directors.
Effective February 8, 2004, our board of directors retained
Deloitte & Touche, LLP, or Deloitte, as our independent
registered public accounting firm based on the recommendation of
the audit committee.
The reports of Grant Thornton on our financial statements for
the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 contained no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During our
two fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 and for the interim period from
January 1, 2003 through the date of Grant Thorntons
termination, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on
any matter of accounting principles or practice, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant
Thornton, would have caused it to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports.
There were no reportable events (as defined in
Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K) that
occurred with the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2002
and December 31, 2001 and the interim period from
January 1, 2003 through February 8, 2004.
Grant Thornton provided us with a letter addressed to the SEC
stating that it had reviewed the statements included in the
Current Report on Form 8-K, dated February 8, 2004,
and filed with the SEC on February 12, 2004, and that it
agreed with our statement regarding Grant Thornton.
Prior to our engagement of Deloitte on February 8, 2004, we
did not consult with Deloitte regarding (1) the application
of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, (2) the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered by Deloitte on our financial statements, or
(3) any
50
other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between us
and our auditor (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of
Regulation S-K and its related instructions) or a
reportable event (as described in Item 304(a) (1)(v) of
Regulation S-K).
|
|
|
Item 9A. Controls and
Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our senior management, including our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and
evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, and management is
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Following the signatures section of this Annual Report are
certifications of our chief executive officer and our chief
financial officer required in accord with Section 302 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rules 13a-14(a) and
15d-14(a) under Exchange Act, or the Section 302
Certification. This portion of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K is our disclosure of the results of its controls
evaluation referred to in paragraphs (4) and
(5) of the Section 302 Certification and should be
read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certification for
a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
During the period covered by this report, we commenced an
evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our chief executive officer, chief
financial officer and third-party consultants, together with our
audit committee, or the Evaluation, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Effective
February 8, 2004, the board of directors retained Deloitte
as our new independent certified public accountant based on the
recommendation of our audit committee.
In connection with the audit for the year ended
December 31, 2004, Deloitte, our independent registered
public accounting firm, notified our management and audit
committee of the existence of reportable conditions,
which is an accounting term for internal controls deficiencies
that, in the judgment of our independent registered public
accounting firm, are significant and which could adversely
affect our ability to record, process, summarize and report
financial information. Deloitte did not conclude at that time
that any of the reportable conditions constituted a
material weakness in our internal controls. The
significant deficiencies identified by Deloitte, which we refer
to as the Deloitte Recommendations, related to, among other
things, our need to formalize policies and procedures including
accounting for real estate properties, estimating and recording
certain fees and charges, reconciling accounts and management
information systems, and our need to perform and review certain
account and expense reconciliations in a timely and accurate
manner.
As a result of the Evaluation (which is on-going) and
Deloittes Recommendations, we have, and continue to
undertake to: (1) design improved internal control
procedures to address a number of financial reporting issues and
disclosure controls through the development of formal policies
and procedures, and (2) develop policies and procedures to
mitigate the risk of similar occurrences in the future,
including the development and implementation of internal testing
and oversight procedures and policies. We believe that adequate
controls and procedures have been implemented or are currently
being implemented to mitigate the risk of similar occurrences in
the future. The Evaluation also concluded that a significant
portion of the financial reporting issues were derived from
staff turn-over and the corresponding need for training and
education of new personnel.
We have implemented and continue to implement improvements in
our internal controls, including, among others, devising,
standardizing and promulgating new policies and procedures to
ensure consistent and improved financial reporting, and to
mitigate the possible risks of any material misstatements
regarding
51
financial reporting matters. We have also spent a considerable
amount of time organizing and developing our internal control
procedures and an internal audit process that tests any material
weaknesses identified.
As of September 7, 2004, we have also employed a new chief
financial officer with considerable experience in public company
financial reporting, GAAP and REIT compliance and added the
position of chief accounting officer. These persons have
undertaken a number of initiatives consistent with improving the
quality of our financial reporting.
We are assigning a high priority to our financial reporting and
internal control issues. We will continue to evaluate the
effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures on an
on-going basis and will take further action as appropriate.
Pursuant to the Evaluation, after taking into account the above
information, our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
applicable time periods specified in the SEC and forms.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
We have and are continuing to improve our internal controls over
financial reporting during the three months ended
December 31, 2004. We will continue to make changes in our
internal control processes in the future.

Independent Director Stock Option Plan
On July 22, 2002, we adopted the independent director stock
option plan, or Director Plan. Only outside and independent
directors are eligible to participate in the Director Plan. We
have authorized and reserved a total of 100,000 shares of
common stock for issuance under the Director Plan. The Director
Plan provides for the grant of initial and subsequent options.
Initial options are non-qualified stock options to
purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at the
applicable option exercise price described below granted to each
independent director and each outside director as of the date
such individual becomes an independent or outside director.
Subsequent options to purchase 5,000 shares of common
stock at the applicable option exercise price may be granted on
the date of each annual meeting of shareholders, or as otherwise
determined by our executive compensation committee, to each
independent and outside director so long as the individual is
still in office. In 2004, we granted options to
purchase 10,000 shares at $9.00 per share to each
of the four independent and outside directors. As of
December 31, 2004, we have granted options to
purchase 80,000 shares of our common stock in
accordance with the Director Plan. The Director Plan was
approved at our annual meeting of shareholders on June 28,
2003.
Officer and Employee Stock Option Plan
On July 22, 2002, we adopted the officer and employee stock
option plan, or Officer Plan. All of the officers and employees
are eligible to participate in the officer plan. We have no
employees as of March 31, 2005. We have authorized and
reserved a total of 400,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under the Officer Plan. Our board of directors, acting
on the recommendation of management, has discretion to grant
options to officers and employees.. In 2004, we granted options
to purchase 275,000 shares at $9.00 per share to
officers. As of December 31, 2004, we have granted options
to purchase 340,000 shares to our officers. The
Officer Plan was approved at our annual meeting of shareholders
on June 28, 2003.
58
2004 Incentive Award Plan
Effective May 10, 2004, we adopted the 2004 incentive award
plan, or 2004 Plan, The purpose of the 2004 Plan was to obtain
and retain the services of and provide additional incentives for
directors, key officers and employees and consultants to further
our growth, development and financial success by providing for
equity awards to these individuals. The 2004 Plan authorizes the
grant to our employees, directors and consultants options
intended to qualify as incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Code. The 2004 Plan also authorizes the
grant of awards consisting of nonqualified stock options,
restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, or SARS, and other
awards, including cash bonuses. The shares of common stock
subject to the 2004 Plan will be our common stock. The aggregate
number of shares of common stock subject to such awards will not
exceed 6,000,000 shares of our common stock. Our board of
directors, or a committee of our board of directors appointed to
administer the 2004 Plan, will have the authority to
appropriately adjust: (i) the aggregate number of shares of
our common stock subject to the 2004 Plan; (ii) the number
and kind of shares of our common stock subject to outstanding
awards under the 2004 Plan; and (iii) the price per share
of outstanding options, stock purchase rights, SARs and other
awards. The 2004 Plan provides that each of our non-employee
directors will receive an automatic grant of 5,000 shares
of restricted stock on the date of each of our annual meetings.
In 2004, we granted 20,000 shares of restricted stock in
accordance with the 2004 Plan to our non-employee directors. The
restricted stock vests in equal installments over five years on
the anniversary date of grant, provided that the director
remains a director on the anniversary date. The 2004 Plan was
approved at our annual meeting of shareholders on June 29,
2004.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and
directors, and persons who own 10% or more of our common stock,
to report their beneficial ownership of our common stock (and
any related options) to the SEC. Their initial reports must be
filed using the SECs Form 3 and they must report
subsequent stock purchases, sales, option exercises and other
changes using the SECs Form 4, which must be filed
within two business days of most transactions. In some cases,
such as changes in ownership arising from gifts and
inheritances, the SEC allows delayed reporting at year-end on
Form 5. Officers, directors and stockholders owning more
than 10% of our common stock are required by SEC regulations to
furnish us with copies of all of reports they file pursuant to
Section 16(a).
Based solely on our review of copies of these reports filed by
or on behalf of our officers and directors (or oral
representations that no such reports were required), we believe
that since we registered our common stock under Section 12
of the Exchange Act, none of our officers or directors complied
with any applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements (we
have no stockholders who own 10% of our common stock). We intend
to make the appropriate filings to comply with the
Section 16(a) requirements.

Item 13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions
Triple Net Properties, LLC, our Advisor, is primarily
responsible for managing the day to day business affairs and
assets, and carrying out the directives of, our board of
directors. Our Advisor is a Virginia limited liability company
that was formed in April of 1998 to advise syndicated limited
partnerships, limited liability companies, and other entities
regarding the acquisition, management and disposition of real
estate assets. All of our officers and one of our directors are
affiliated with our Advisor, and these officers and directors
collectively own 43% of the equity interest in our Advisor. Our
Advisor currently advises more than 100 entities that have
invested in properties located in twenty states.
Before the commencement of our Initial Offering, our Advisor
purchased 22,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.05
per share for $200,000 in cash. Our Advisor intends to retain
such shares while serving as our Advisor.
Our Advisor bears the expenses incurred in connection with
supervising, monitoring and inspecting real property or other
assets owned by us (excluding proposed acquisitions) or
otherwise relating to its duties under the Advisory Agreement.
Such expenses include employing its personnel, rent, telephone,
equipment and other administrative expenses. We reimburse our
Advisor for certain expenses incurred, including those related
to proposed acquisitions and travel expenses. However, we will
not reimburse our Advisor for any operating expenses that, in
any four consecutive fiscal quarters, exceed the greater of 2%
of average invested assets or 25% of net income for such year.
If our Advisor receives an incentive distribution, net income
(for purposes of calculating operating expenses) excludes any
gain from the sale of assets. Any amount exceeding the greater
of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income paid to
our Advisor during a fiscal quarter will be repaid to us within
60 days after the end of the fiscal year. We bear our own
expenses for functions not required to be performed by our
Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, which generally include
capital raising and financing activities, corporate governance
matters, and other activities not directly related to real
estate properties and other assets. To date, except as disclosed
below, no reimbursements have been made to our Advisor pursuant
to the provisions of the Advisory Agreement.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, our Advisor has
responsibility for our day to day operations, administers our
accounting and bookkeeping functions, serves as a consultant in
connection with policy decisions to be made by our board of
directors, manages our properties and renders other services
deemed appropriate by our board of directors. Our Advisor bears
expenses incurred for the performance of its services and is
entitled to reimbursement subject to certain limitations. Fees
and costs reimbursed to our Advisor cannot exceed the greater of
2% of average invested assets or 25% of net
61
income for the previous four quarters. During the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we paid our Advisor
$1,804,000, $1,167,000 and $409,000, respectively, for
organizational and offering expenses.
We entered into a dealer manager agreement, or the Dealer
Manager Agreement, with NNN Capital Corp. whereby NNN Capital
Corp. served as the managing broker dealer for each of our
Offerings. During the period of our Offerings, NNN Capital Corp.
was 100% owned by Anthony W. Thompson, our chief executive
officer, president and chairman of our board of directors.
Pursuant to the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement, for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we incurred and
paid $25,149,000 and $14,108,000, respectively, of selling
commissions and marketing and due diligence fees.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, an affiliate of our
Advisor that serves as our real estate broker may receive a real
estate or acquisition fee of up to 3% of the purchase price of
our properties. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003, $13,315,000 and $7,079,000, respectively, has been earned
by Realty, an affiliate of our Advisor, in connection with the
acquisition of our properties. During the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, Realty was 100% owned by
Anthony W. Thompson, our chief executive officer, president and
chairman of our board of directors.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, we pay Realty a
property management fee equal to 5% of the gross income from our
properties; however, a portion of this fee may be re-allowed to
a third-party property manager. These fees are paid monthly. For
the year ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we have
incurred $4,293,000, $458,000 and $24,000, respectively, in
property management fees for our properties payable to Realty.
|
|
|
NNN 2004 Notes Program, LLC |
NNN 2004 Notes Program, LLC, or the Notes Program, is an
affiliate of our Advisor. Notes Program has made loans from time
to time to certain of our properties. As of December 31,
2004, all principal and interest due on loans made by the Notes
Program to our properties has been repaid and we have no
outstanding loans from the Notes Program. Terms of the Notes
Program provide for interest payments at 11%. In addition to
interest, the Notes Program is entitled to the greater of a 1%
prepayment penalty or 20% of the profits upon sale of the
property prorated for the amount of time the loan was
outstanding. Loans from the Notes Program to the Congress Center
and Two Corporate Plaza properties, which have been repaid, may
result in additional amounts due to the Notes Program upon the
sale of these properties, depending on profits, if any, upon
sale. We cannot reasonably estimate the additional amounts due,
if any, to the Notes Program if and when the Congress Center and
Two Corporate Plaza properties are sold.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
G REIT, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
G REIT, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive operations,
stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. Our audits also include the consolidated financial
statement schedules listed in the index at Item 15. These
financial statements and the financial statement schedules are
the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and the financial statement schedules based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of G REIT Inc. and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such
consolidated financial statement schedules, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

G REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
1. Organization
We were incorporated on December 18, 2001 as G REIT,
Inc. under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and were
qualified and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment
trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. On
September 27, 2004, G REIT, Inc. was reincorporated in
the State of Maryland in accordance with the approval of its
stockholders at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The use
of the words we, us or our
refers to G REIT, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including
G REIT, L.P., our operating partnership, except where the
context otherwise requires. As a REIT, we are generally not
subject to income taxes. To maintain the REIT status, we are
required to distribute annually as distributions at least 90% of
our REIT taxable income, as defined by the Internal Revenue
Code, or Code, to our stockholders, among other requirements. If
we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be
subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular
corporate tax rates. As of December 31, 2004, we believe we
were in compliance with all relevant REIT requirements.
We were organized to acquire, manage, and invest in office,
industrial and service real estate properties, which will have a
government-tenant orientation. We completed our first property
acquisition in September 2002. As of December 31, 2004, we
have purchased interests in 25 properties aggregating a total
gross leasable area, or GLA, of 6.6 million square feet,
including 23 consolidated interests in office properties and two
unconsolidated interests in office properties. Tenants with a
government orientation occupied 40.8% of the total GLA of these
properties. At December 31, 2004, 87.5% of the total GLA of
these properties was leased.
We conduct business and own properties through the operating
partnership, G REIT, L.P., which was formed as a Virginia
limited partnership in December of 2001. As of December 31,
2004, we are the sole general partner of the operating
partnership and have control over the affairs of the operating
partnership. We own 100% of the equity interests therein, except
for 100 incentive non-voting ownership units issued to our
Advisor. The incentive units entitle our Advisor to receive
certain incentive distributions of operating cash flow after a
minimum 8% return on invested capital has been paid to our
stockholders. In addition, our Advisor is entitled to incentive
distributions from net proceeds from the sale of our properties
after our stockholders have received their invested capital, as
defined, plus an 8% return on such invested capital.
Our day to day operations are managed by Triple Net Properties,
LLC, our Advisor, under an advisory agreement, or the Advisory
Agreement, that has a one-year term which expires on
July 22, 2005, and is subject to successive one-year
renewals with the written consent of the parties, including a
majority of our independent directors. Our Advisor is affiliated
with us in that the two entities have common officers and
directors, some of whom also own an equity interest in our
Advisor. (See Note 13). Our Advisor engages affiliated
entities, including Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., or
Realty, an affiliate of our Advisor, which was solely owned by
Anthony W. Thompson, our chief executive officer, president and
chairman of the board of directors, through December 31,
2004 (effective January 1, 2005, Mr. Thompson owns 88%
of Realty), to provide various services for our properties. The
Advisor and Realty were formed in 1998 to serve as an asset and
property manager for real estate investment trusts, syndicated
real estate limited partnerships, limited liability companies
and similar real estate entities.
2. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below
is designed to assist in understanding our consolidated
financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying
notes are the representations of our management, who is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These
accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, in all
material respects, and have been consistently applied in
preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our
accounts of our operating partnership, the wholly-owned
subsidiaries of our operating partnership and all majority-owned
subsidiaries and affiliates over which we have financial and
operating control and variable interest entities, or VIEs, in
which we have determined we are the primary beneficiary are
included in the consolidated financial statements. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation and all references to us include our
operating partnership and its subsidiaries. We account for all
other unconsolidated real estate investments using the equity
method of accounting. Accordingly, our share of the earnings of
these real estate investments is included in consolidated net
income.
|
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased.
Restricted cash is comprised of impound reserve accounts for
property taxes, insurance, capital improvements and tenant
improvements.
|
|
|
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts |
Tenant receivables and unbilled deferred rent receivables are
carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant
receivables and unbilled deferred rent. An allowance is
maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of
certain tenants to meet the contractual obligations under their
lease agreements. Our determination of the adequacy of these
allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical
loss experience, individual tenant receivables considering the
tenants financial condition, security deposits, letters of
credit, lease guarantees and current economic conditions and
other relevant factors. We have established an allowance for
uncollectible accounts of $321,000 and $150,000 at
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to reduce
receivables to our estimate of the amount recoverable.
|
|
|
Investment in Marketable Securities |
Marketable securities are carried at fair value and consist
primarily of investments in marketable equity securities of
public REITs. We classify our marketable securities
portfolio as available-for-sale. This portfolio is continually
monitored for differences between the cost and estimated fair
value of each security. If we believe that a decline in the
value of an equity security is temporary in nature, we record
the change in other comprehensive income (loss) in
stockholders equity. If the decline is believed to be
other than temporary, the equity security is written down to the
fair value and a realized loss is recorded on our statement of
operations. There was no realized loss recorded by us due to the
write down in value for the years ended December 31, 2004
and 2003. Our assessment of a decline in value includes, among
other things, our current judgment as to the financial position
and future prospects of the entity that issued the security. If
that judgment changes in the future, we may ultimately record a
realized loss after having initially concluded that the decline
in value was temporary.
|
|
|
Purchase Price Allocation |
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard,
or SFAS, No. 141, Business Combinations, we, with
the assistance of independent valuation specialists, allocate
the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and
identified intangible assets based on their respective fair
values. The
73
G REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
allocation to tangible assets (building and land) is based upon
our determination of the value of the property as if it were
vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used
by independent appraisers. Factors considered by us include an
estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods
considering current market conditions and costs to execute
similar leases. Additionally, the purchase price of the
applicable property is allocated to the above or below market
value of in-place leases and the value of in-place leases and
related tenant relationships.
The value allocable to the above or below market component of
the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the
present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks
associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between
(i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the
lease over its remaining term, and (ii) our estimate of the
amounts that would be paid using fair market rates over the
remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above
market leases are included in the intangible in-place lease
asset and below market lease values are included in intangible
lease liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements and are amortized to rental income over the
weighted average remaining term of the acquired leases with each
property.
The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further
allocated to in-place lease costs and the value of tenant
relationships based on managements evaluation of the
specific characteristics of each tenants lease and our
overall relationship with that respective tenant.
Characteristics considered by us in allocating these values
include the nature and extent of the credit quality and
expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.
These allocations are subject to change based on continuing
valuation analysis or other evidence, until the allocations are
finalized or the stipulated time of one year from the date of
acquisition.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts
in order to conform to the current period presentation. These
reclassifications have not changed the results of operations.
Operating properties are carried at the lower of historical cost
less accumulated depreciation. The cost of the operating
properties includes the cost of land and completed buildings and
related improvements. Expenditures that increase the service
life of properties are capitalized; the cost of maintenance and
repairs is charged to expense as incurred. The cost of building
and improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements,
ranging primarily from 15 to 39 years and the shorter of
the lease term or useful life, ranging from one to 10 years
for tenant improvements. When depreciable property is retired or
disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss reflected in
operations.
An operating property is evaluated for potential impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its
carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations. Impairment
losses are recorded on an operating property when indicators of
impairment are present and the carrying amount of the asset is
greater than the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows
expected to be generated by that asset. We would recognize an
impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeded the
fair value of the property. We recorded no impairment losses for
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, at such time as a property
is held for sale, such property is carried at the lower of
(i) its carrying amount or
74
G REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
(ii) 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 have 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, it is unlikely
that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the
plan will be withdrawn. |
Real estate deposits are paid on properties we are evaluating
for purchase. Real estate deposits are capitalized when paid and
may become nonrefundable under certain circumstances. When
properties are acquired, the deposits paid by us are applied at
the time of purchase. When a decision is made not to acquire a
property, any nonrefundable deposits are expensed at that time.
Other assets consist primarily of leasing commissions, deferred
rent receivables, prepaid expenses and deposits.
Financing costs consist of loan fees and other loan costs. Loan
fees and other loan costs are amortized over the term of the
respective loan using a method that approximates the effective
interest method. Amortization of financing costs is included in
interest expense. At December 31, 2004, we had a $1,475,000
rate lock deposit with LaSalle Bank National Association, or
LaSalle, for the refinancing of certain consolidated properties.
|
|
|
Derivative Financial Instruments |
We are exposed to the effect of interest rate changes in the
normal course of business. We seek to mitigate these risks by
following established risk management policies and procedures
which include the occasional use of derivatives. Our primary
strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize
the volatility that changes in interest rates could have on its
future cash flows. We employ derivative instruments, including
interest rate swaps and caps, to effectively convert a portion
of our variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. We do not enter
into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
In accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for
Leases, minimum annual rental revenue is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the related lease
(including rent holidays). Tenant reimbursement revenue, which
is comprised of additional amounts recoverable from tenants for
common
75
G REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable
expenses, is recognized as revenue in the period in which the
related expenses are incurred.
|
|
|
Concentration of Credit Risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a
concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and
accounts receivable from tenants. Cash is generally invested in
investment-grade short-term instruments and the amount of credit
exposure to any one commercial issuer is limited. We have cash
in financial institutions which is insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, up to $100,000 per
institution. At December 31, 2004, we had cash accounts in
excess of FDIC insured limits. Concentration of credit risk with
respect to accounts receivable from tenants is limited. We
perform credit evaluations of prospective tenants, and security
deposits are obtained.
As of December 31, 2004, we had interests in seven
properties located in the State of Texas which accounted for
20.1% of the total revenue and nine properties located in the
State of California which accounted for 52.5% of our total
revenue.
|
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, whether or not recognized on the face
of the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that
value. SFAS 107 defines fair value as the quoted market
prices for those instruments that are actively traded in
financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are estimated using present value or
other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow
analysis. The fair value estimates are made at the end of each
year based on available market information and judgments about
the financial instrument, such as estimates of timing and amount
of expected future cash flows. Such estimates do not reflect any
premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at
one time our entire holdings of a particular financial
instrument, nor do they consider that tax impact of the
realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the
fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to
independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in
immediate settlement of the instrument.
Our consolidated balance sheets include the following financial
instruments: cash and cash equivalents, tenant rent and other
receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes
payable. We consider the carrying values of cash and cash
equivalents, tenant rent and other receivables and accounts
payable and accrued expenses to approximate fair value for these
financial instruments because of the short period of time
between origination of the instruments and their expected
realization. The fair value of payable to affiliates is not
determinable due to its related party nature. Based on borrowing
rates available to us at December 31, 2004, the fair value
of the mortgage loans payable was $458,189,000 compared to a
carrying value of $442,275,000. The fair value of the credit
facility at December 31, 2004 was $59,116,000 compared to a
carrying value of $58,369,000.
We operate as a real estate investment trust for federal income
tax purposes. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to income
taxes. To maintain our REIT status, we are required to
distribute annually as distributions at least 90% of our REIT
taxable income for the year, as defined by the Code to our
stockholders, among other requirements. If we fail to qualify as
a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income
tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even
if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and
local taxes on our income and property and federal income and
excise taxes on our undistributed income. We believe that we
have met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements
for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and
were not subject
76
G REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
to any federal income taxes. We intend to continue to adhere to
these requirements and maintain our REIT status.
On June 14, 2004, we formed G REIT TRS, Inc., or TRS,, a
taxable REIT subsidiary. In general, a taxable REIT subsidiary
may perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that
we cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real
estate or non-real estate related business. Accordingly, through
the TRS we are subject to corporate federal income taxes on the
TRS taxable income of $1,000,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2004. During the year ended December 31,
2004, income tax expense was $398,000 which related to the
activities of the TRS.
We report comprehensive income in accordance with
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.
This statement defines comprehensive income as the changes in
equity of an enterprise except those resulting from
stockholders transactions. Accordingly, comprehensive
income includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from
net income. Our only comprehensive income items were net income
and the unrealized change in fair value of marketable securities.
We report earnings per share pursuant to SFAS No. 128,
Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share
attributable for all periods presented are computed by dividing
the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
are computed based on the weighted average number of shares and
all potentially dilutive securities, if any. Our potentially
dilutive securities were options. As of December 31, 2004
and December 31, 2003, there were 420,000 and 105,000
options, respectively, which were accounted for under the
treasury method. These options did not have a dilutive effect on
earnings (loss) per share and therefore were excluded from
the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Net income (loss) per share is calculated as follows:

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, and SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and
Disclosure, we have elected to follow Accounting Principles
Board Opinion, or APB, No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in
accounting for our employee stock options. Under APB
No. 25, compensation expense is recorded when the exercise
price of employee stock options is less than the fair value of
the

disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 and

The December 31, 2004 pro forma amounts were determined by
estimating the fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, assuming a 7.5% dividend yield, a 4.0%
risk-free interest rate based on the 10-year U.S. Treasury
Bond, an expected life of 8.65 years, and a volatility rate
of 10%.
The December 31, 2003 pro forma amounts were determined by
estimating the fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, assuming a 7.5% dividend yield, a 3.5%
risk-free interest rate based on the 10-year U.S. Treasury
Bond, an expected life of 9.32 years, and a volatility rate
of 10%.
We internally evaluate all of our properties as one industry
segment and accordingly do not report segment information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or
FASB, revised FASB Interpretation No. 46, or FIN 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, issued in
January 2003, an interpretation of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements
(FIN 46R). FIN 46R requires that variable interest
entities be consolidated by a company if that company is subject
to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest
entitys activities or is entitled to receive a majority of
the entitys residual returns or both. FIN 46R also
requires disclosures about variable interest entities that
companies are not required to consolidate but in which a company
has a significant variable interest. The consolidation
requirements of FIN 46R apply immediately to variable
interest entities created after December 31, 2003. The
consolidation requirements will apply to entities established
prior to December 31, 2003, in the first fiscal year or in
the interim period beginning after December 15, 2004. We do
not believe the adoption of such interpretation will have a
material impact on our results of operations or financial
condition.
78
G REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain
Investments, or EITF 03-1. EITF 03-1 provides
guidance for determining when an investment is
other-than-temporarily impaired to be applied in reporting
periods beginning after June 15, 2004 and contains
disclosure requirements effective in annual financial statements
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003 for
investments accounted for under SFAS Nos. 115 and 124. For
all other investments within the scope of this Issue, the
disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after
June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB delayed the
accounting provisions of EITF 03-1; however, the disclosure
requirements remain effective. We have evaluated the impact of
the adoption of EITF 03-1 and do not believe it will have a
material effect on our financial condition or results of
operations.
In April 2004, FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 129-1,
Disclosure Requirements under FASB Statement No. 129,
Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure, Relating to
Contingently Convertible Financial Instruments, or FASP
FAS 129-1. FSP FAS 129-1 provides guidance on disclosures of
contingently convertible financial instruments, including those
containing contingent conversion requirements that have not been
met and are not otherwise required to be included in the
calculation of diluted earnings per share. The statement was
effective immediately, and applies to all existing and newly
created securities. The adoption of this statement did not have
a material effect on our results of operations or financial
condition.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 123 (revised),
Share-Based Payment, or FAS 123(R). FAS 123(R)
requires that all share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income
statement based on their fair values. The new standard will be
effective in the first reporting period ending after
June 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a material effect on our results of operations
or financial condition.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we completed the
acquisition of ten wholly-owned properties and two
tenant-in-common, or TIC, interests in two properties with TIC
interests of 78.50% and 77.63%, adding a total of 3,798,000
square feet of gross leaseable area, or GLA, to our property
portfolio. The aggregate purchase price of these properties was
$536,755,000, of which $327,038,000 was financed with mortgage
debt. We paid $13,315,000 in commissions to Realty in connection
with these acquisitions. In accordance with Statement of
Accounting Financial Standard, or SFAS, No. 141, we
allocated the purchase price of these properties to the fair
value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed,
including the allocation of the intangibles associated with the
in-place leases considering the following factors: lease
origination costs; tenant relationships; and above or below
market leases. During 2004, we have allocated and recorded
$93,192,000 of intangible assets associated with in-place lease
origination costs and tenant relationships, as well as above
market leases. Such intangible assets are being amortized over
the term of each of the underlying tenant leases ranging from
one to 107 months. Total amortization of the lease
intangible assets for 2004 was $14,132,000. On certain
acquisitions, we have recorded lease intangible liabilities
related to the acquired below market leases of $23,433,000
during 2004. The lease intangible liabilities are being
amortized over the term of each of the underlying tenant leases
ranging from two to 123 months. Amortization of $5,406,000
was recorded for these lease intangibles during 2004.

7. Mortgage Loans Payable
We have fixed and variable rate mortgage loans of $442,275,000
and $97,257,000 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the
effective interest rates on mortgage loans ranged from 3.63% to
6.89% per annum and 3.06% to 6.89% per annum, respectively, and
the weighted average effective interest rate was 4.39% and 3.77%
per annum, respectively. The loans mature at various dates
through June 2011.
During 2004, we borrowed $327,038,000 under various fixed and
variable rate mortgage loans, secured by nine of our office
properties acquired in 2004. The fixed interest rate loans
require monthly principal and interest payments based on a fixed
annual interest rate of 5.2%. Variable interest rate loans
include interest only loans, with interest rates ranging from
3.66% to 5.48% per annum. Loans mature at various dates through
June 2011. In September 2004, we paid off one of these loans, a
$14,250,000 mortgage in its entirety.
On May 31, 2004, we refinanced five of our properties with
separate loans from LaSalle in the following amounts:

30-year amortization schedule until the due date on each loan of
June 1, 2011. In connection with the refinancing, we paid
down our line of credit with LaSalle in the amount of
$48,094,000. The loans do not include any cross-default
provisions and are not cross-collateralized.
Our properties financed by borrowings are required by the terms
of the applicable loan documents to meet certain minimum loan to
value, debt service coverage and other requirements on a
combined basis. As of December 31, 2004, we were not in
compliance with a financial covenant requirement in our mortgage
loan agreement with HSH Nordbank on the One World Trade
Center property in Long Beach, California. Pursuant to our
mortgage agreement with HSH Nordbank, all revenues from the
property are sent to a lockbox. We receive all proceeds from the
lockbox after we satisfy our debt service requirements to
HSH Nordbank.
As of December 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all
such requirements with the exception of HSH Nordbank as
described above.
The principal payments due on notes payable for each of the next
five years ending December 31 and thereafter are summarized as

The fair value of our mortgage debt at December 31, 2004
and 2003 was $458,189,000 and $100,883,000, respectively.
Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in
the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value in
accordance with SFAS No. 133, Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. Changes in fair value
are included as a component of interest expense in the statement
of operations in the period of change. We recorded $347,000 as a
reduction to interest expense for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and $36,000 as an increase to interest
expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 for interest
rate swaps and collars.

8. Credit Facility
In January 2003, we obtained a credit facility with a maximum
borrowing amount of $25,000,000 through LaSalle which matures on
January 30, 2006. At December 31, 2004, advances under
this credit facility bear interest, at our election, at the
prime rate or the one-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50%,
declining to 2.25% when we meet certain conditions, which
include attaining $50,000,000 in net worth, no default on
advances, and full compliance with other covenants under the
credit facility. Advances are subject to a floor rate of 3.9%.
We are required to make interest only payments on a monthly
basis. In connection with the term of this credit facility, we
granted LaSalle a right of first refusal to finance the purchase
of other properties by us.
On April 1, 2004, we amended our credit agreement to
increase the credit facility to $185,000,000, to the extent we
have secured properties with comparable equity, with the option
to increase the amount up to $350,000,000, and on
August 27, 2004, we amended our credit agreement to
decrease the credit facility to $175,000,000. At
December 31, 2004, borrowings under the credit facility
totaled $58,369,000 and bore interest at the rate of 4.28% per
annum compared to borrowings of $81,534,000 at an interest rate
of 3.9% per annum at December 31, 2003.
Properties financed by borrowings under the LaSalle credit
facility are required by the terms of the credit facility to
meet certain minimum loan to value, debt service coverage
minimum occupancy rates and other requirements on a combined
basis. As of December 31, 2004, we were in compliance with
all such requirements.
The fair value of our credit facility at December 31, 2004
and 2003 was $59,116,000 and $84,251,000, respectively.

11. Stockholders Equity
As of December 31, 2004, we have issued 43,865,000 shares
of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds to us before
offering costs and selling commissions (Note 13) of
$437,315,000 pursuant to our initial and second offerings. Of
these amounts, an aggregate of 22,000 shares of our common
stock, or $200,000 of our common stock, were sold to our Advisor
in accordance with the requirements of the North American
Securities Administrators Association.
Pursuant to our Initial Offering, our limitation on all offering
expenses is 15% of the gross offering proceeds. Effective
October 17, 2002, our board of directors lowered the
limitation on offering and organizational expenses to be borne
by us on a prospective basis from 15% to 14% of the gross
offering proceeds. As of December 31, 2004, organizational
and offering costs did not exceed these limitations.
In connection with our Initial Offering, we incurred $20,944,000
of costs related to the issuance and distribution of our common
stock through December 31, 2004. Such amount includes
$18,565,000 paid to NNN Capital Corp., the dealer manager of the
Offering, a company 100% owned by Anthony W. Thompson, our
president, chief executive officer and chairman, principally
comprised of selling commissions, marketing and due diligence
costs. In addition, we paid $1,630,000 to our Advisor for
reimbursement of offering expenses.
Beginning September 1, 2002, we began monthly distributions
to stockholders of record as of the end of the preceding month
at an annual rate of 7.00% of the per share purchase price to
the extent of lawfully available funds. The distribution rate
increased to 7.25% effective January 1, 2003 and to 7.50%
effective June 1, 2003. Distribution rates are based on a
$10.00 per share purchase price. For the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, we declared distributions of
$28,042,000 and $6,211,000, respectively.

Dividend Reinvestment Program |
In July 2002, we adopted a dividend reinvestment plan, or DRIP,
that allowed our stockholders to purchase additional shares of
common stock through reinvestment of dividends, subject to
certain conditions. We registered and reserved 1,000,000 and
1,500,000 shares of our common stock for distribution pursuant
to the DRIP in our Initial and Second Offerings, respectively.
As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, we had
issued 587,000 and 252,000 shares of our common stock,
respectively, under the terms of the DRIP. The DRIP was
terminated on April 30, 2004.
86
G REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Effective July 22, 2002, we adopted a share repurchase
plan, or Repurchase Plan, which provided eligible stockholders
with limited liquidity by enabling them to request the
repurchase of their common stock by us subject to various
limitations. Repurchases were made at the sole discretion of our
board of directors. To be eligible to request a repurchase, a
stockholder must offer for resale at least 25% of the total
number of shares of common stock owned and must have owned the
shares for at least one year.
The price paid by us per repurchased share of common stock
varies in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Plan.
Repurchases, if any, are affected by us on or about the last day
of each calendar quarter. Funding for the Repurchase Plan comes
from our operations and DRIP. We repurchased 18,000 and 28,000
shares of our common stock for $164,000 and $257,000 for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
Repurchase Plan was terminated on April 30, 2004.
Independent Director Stock Option Plan
On July 22, 2002, we adopted the independent director stock
option plan, or Director Plan. Only outside and independent
directors are eligible to participate in the Director Plan. We
have authorized and reserved a total of 100,000 shares of common
stock for issuance under the Director Plan. The Director Plan
provides for the grant of initial and subsequent options.
Initial options are non-qualified stock options to purchase
5,000 shares of common stock at the applicable option exercise
price described below granted to each independent director and
each outside director as of the date such individual becomes an
independent or outside director. Subsequent options to purchase
5,000 shares of common stock at the applicable option exercise
price may be granted on the date of each annual meeting of
shareholders to each independent and outside director so long as
the individual is still in office or at the discretion or our
board of directors. In 2004, we granted options to purchase
10,000 shares at $9.00 per share to each of the
four independent and outside directors. The Director Plan
was approved at our annual meeting of shareholders on
June 28, 2003.
Officer and Employee Stock Option Plan
On July 22, 2002, we adopted the officer and employee stock
option plan, or Officer Plan. All of the officers and employees
are eligible to participate in the Officer Plan. We have no
employees as of March 31, 2005. We have authorized and
reserved a total of 400,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under the officer plan. Our board of directors, acting
on the recommendation of management, has discretion to grant
options to officers and employees. In 2004, we granted options
to purchase 275,000 shares at $9.00 per share or our
officers. The Officer Plan was approved at our annual meeting of
shareholders on June 28, 2003.
2004 Incentive Award Plan
Effective May 10, 2004, we adopted the 2004 incentive award
plan, or 2004 Plan, to provide for equity awards to our
employees, directors and consultants. The 2004 Plan authorizes
the grant to our employees, directors and consultants options
intended to qualify as incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Code. The 2004 Plan also authorizes the
grant of awards consisting of nonqualified stock options,
restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, or SARS, and other
awards, including cash bonuses. The shares of common stock
subject to the 2004 Plan will be our common stock. The aggregate
number of shares of common stock subject to such awards will not
exceed 6,000,000 shares of our common stock. Our board of
directors, or a committee of our board of directors appointed to
administer the 2004 Plan, will have the authority to
appropriately adjust: (i) the aggregate number of shares of
our
87

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
common stock subject to the 2004 Plan; (ii) the number and
kind of shares of our common stock subject to outstanding awards
under the 2004 Plan; and (iii) the price per share of
outstanding options, stock purchase rights, SARs and other
awards. The 2004 Plan provides that each of our non-employee
directors will receive an automatic grant of 5,000 shares
of restricted stock on the date of each of our annual meetings.
The 2004 Plan was approved by our stockholders at the annual
meeting of shareholders on June 29, 2004.
In 2004, our independent directors, or Grantees, were issued
20,000 restricted common shares of stock, or Restricted Shares,
in accordance with the terms of the 2004 Plan. The 20,000
Restricted Shares were issued effective June 29, 2004 and
fully vest on June 29, 2009 (or sooner upon a change of
control of our company), pursuant to the terms and conditions of
restricted stock agreements entered into between each of the
Grantees and us. Compensation expense related to the restricted
stock awards under the 2004 Plan are recorded over the related
vesting periods based on the fair value of the underlying
awards. Included in the general and administrative expenses in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is
compensation expense of $21,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2004, related to such awards.

12. Future Minimum Rent
We have operating leases with tenants that expire at various
dates through 2015 and are either subject to scheduled fixed

A certain amount of our rental income is from tenants with
leases which are subject to contingent rent provisions. These
contingent rents are subject to the tenant achieving periodic
revenues in excess of specified levels. For the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the amount of contingent rent
earned by us was not significant.
13. Related Party
Transactions
The Advisory Agreement between our Advisor and us was renewed by

functions, serves as a consultant in connection with policy
decisions to be made by our board of directors, manages our
properties and renders other services deemed appropriate by our
board of directors. Our Advisor is entitled to reimbursement
from us for expenses incurred in rendering its services, subject
to certain limitations. Fees and costs reimbursed to our Advisor
cannot exceed the greater of 2% of average invested assets, as
defined, or 25% of net income for the previous four quarters, as
defined. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, such
reimbursement had not exceeded these limitations. There were no
amounts incurred or paid to our Advisor for services provided
during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

respectively (Note 3).
We pay Realty a property management fee equal to 5% of the gross
revenues, as defined, from the properties. For the years ended

On June 15, 2004, through our wholly owned subsidiary,

On September 16, 2004, our Advisor advised us that it
learned that the SEC is conducting an investigation referred to
as In the matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.
The SEC has requested information from our Advisor relating
to disclosure in securities offerings (including offerings by
us, T REIT, Inc. and A REIT, Inc.) and the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the
private offerings in which our Advisor and its affiliated
entities were involved and exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Exchange Act for several entities. The SEC
has requested financial and other information regarding these
entities as well as the limited liability companies advised by
our Advisor, including us. Our Advisor has advised us that it
intends to cooperate fully with the SECs investigation.
This investigation could focus on or involve us and fines,
penalties or administrative remedies could be asserted against
us.
We cannot at this time assess the outcome, of the investigation
by the SEC. Therefore, at this time, we have not accrued any
loss contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5.
In connection with our initial and second public offerings of
common stock conducted through best efforts offerings from
July 22, 2002 through April 30, 2004, we disclosed the
prior performance of all public and non-public investment
programs sponsored by Triple Net Properties, LLC, our Advisor.
We now have determined that there were certain errors in those
prior performance tables. In particular, the financial
information in the tables was stated to be presented on a GAAP
basis. Generally the tables for the public programs were not
presented on a GAAP basis and the tables for the non-public
programs were prepared and presented on a tax or cash accounting
basis. Moreover, a number of the prior performance data figures
were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash
basis. In particular, certain programs sponsored by our Advisor
have invested either along side or in other programs sponsored
by our Advisor. The nature and results of these investments were
not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables.
91
G REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
In general, the resulting effect is an overstatement of our
Advisors program and aggregate portfolio operating results.
As we have previously disclosed, our board of directors is
considering a variety of potential strategic initiatives. When
that process is completed, we intend to announce how we will
address the errors in the prior performance tables described
above.
Neither we nor any of our properties are presently subject to
any other material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any
material litigation threatened against us or any of our
properties which if determined unfavorably to us would have a
material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial condition
or results of operations. We are a party to litigation arising
in the ordinary course of business, none of which if determined
unfavorably to us, individually or in the aggregate, is expected
to have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial
condition or results of operations.
We follow the policy of monitoring our properties for the
presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no
assurance that a material environmental liability does not
exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability
with respect to the properties that would have a material effect
on our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows. Further, 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.
|
|
|
Potential Property Acquisitions |
Our management is currently considering several other potential
property acquisitions. The decision to acquire one or more of
these properties will generally depend upon the following
conditions, among others:
|
|
|
|
|
receipt of a satisfactory Phase I environmental assessment and
property appraisal for each property; |
|
|
|
no material adverse change occurring in the properties, the
tenants or in the local economic conditions; and |
|
|
|
receipt of sufficient financing. |
There can be no assurance that any or all of the conditions will
be satisfied.
Our commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations
of real estate owners and operators in the normal course of
business. In the opinion of management, these matters are not
expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial
position and results of operations.
Total mortgage debt of unconsolidated properties was
$105,606,000 and $105,276,000 at December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively. Our share of unconsolidated debt was
$29,635,000 and $29,490,000 at December 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively. The increase of $145,000
was due to the refinancing of Congress Center, or borrower, in
September 2004.
On September 3, 2004, our Advisor refinanced Congress
Center, or the borrower, with three loans totaling $97,500,000,
through Principal Commercial Funding and Principal Life
Insurance. We own a 30% interest in Congress Center and in
connection with our payment obligations under the three loans.
Our
92
G REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
liability is limited to the extent of our interest in Congress
Center and only rents we are entitled to therefrom. In
connection with the Congress Center refinancing, the unamortized
portion of the capitalized loan costs of $580,000 along with
$253,000 in prepayment penalties related to the early
termination of the loan were expensed in September 2004 by
Congress Center.
The new notes include the following:
Note A is in the amount of $80,000,000 and bears interest
at a fixed rate of 5.635% per annum. The borrower is required to
make monthly interest only payments until the due date of
October 1, 2014. No pre-payments of principal are permitted
until July 1, 2014.
Note B is in the amount of $15,000,000 and bears interest
at a fixed rate of 5.635% per annum. The borrower is required to
make monthly interest only payments until the due date of
October 1, 2014. No pre-payments of principal are permitted
until July 1, 2014.
Note C is in the amount of $2,500,000 and bears interest at
a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum. The borrower is required to make
monthly interest only payments until October 1, 2006.
Thereafter, the borrower is required to make monthly principal
and interest payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule
until the due date of October 1, 2014. No pre-payments of
principal are permitted until July 1, 2014.

17. Business Combinations
During the year ended December 31, 2004, we completed the
acquisition of ten wholly-owned properties and two TIC interests
in two properties with TIC interests of 78.50% and 77.63%,
adding a total of 3,798,000 square feet of gross leaseable area,
or GLA, to our property portfolio. The aggregate purchase price
was $536,755,000, of which $327,038,000 was financed with
mortgage debt. We paid $13,315,000 in commissions to Realty in
connection with these acquisitions. In accordance with Statement
of Accounting
94
G REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Financial Standard, or SFAS, No. 141, we allocated the
purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed, including the allocation of the intangibles
associated with the in-place leases considering the following
factors: lease origination costs; tenant relationships; and
above or below market leases. During 2004, we have allocated and
recorded $93,192,000 of intangible assets associated with
in-place lease origination costs and tenant relationships, as
well as above market leases. On certain acquisitions, we have
recorded lease intangible liabilities related to the acquired
below market leases of $23,433,000 during 2004.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, we completed the
acquisition of eight wholly-owned properties, one property with
a TIC interest of 97.68% and two unconsolidated TIC interests in
two properties with TIC interests of 30.00% and 4.75%, adding a
total of 2,564,000 square feet of GLA to our property portfolio.
The aggregate purchase price of the nine consolidated properties
was $274,980,000, of which $125,763,000 was financed with
mortgage debt. We paid $7,079,000 in commissions to Realty in
connection with these acquisitions. In accordance with
SFAS No. 141, we allocated the purchase price of these
properties to the fair value of the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed, including the allocation of the intangibles
associated with the in-place leases considering the following
factors: lease origination costs; tenant relationships; and
above or below market leases. During 2003, we have allocated and
recorded $6,192,000 of intangible assets associated with
in-place lease origination costs, as well as above market
leases. On certain acquisitions, we have recorded lease
intangible liabilities related to the acquired below market
leases which aggregated $7,969,000 during 2003.
Assuming all of the 2004 and 2003 acquisitions had occurred
January 1, 2003, pro forma revenues, net income and net
income/(loss) per diluted share would have been
$116.1 million, ($3.1) million and ($.08),
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004; and
$102.9 million, $3.7 million and $.45, respectively,
for the year ended December 31, 2003. The pro forma results
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that
would have been obtained had the acquisitions occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented, nor are they necessarily
indicative of future operating results.
18. Subsequent Events
On February 8, 2005, the board of directors approved the
listing for sale of the 525 B Street, San Diego, CA, and the
Congress Center, Chicago, IL properties, of which we own 100%
and 30%, respectively.
