(a California Limited Liability Company)

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.                                      Organization and Business

 

Cornerstone Realty Fund, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Fund”) (formerly Cornerstone Multi-Tenant Industrial Business Parks Fund, LLC and Cornerstone Industrial Properties Income and Growth Fund I, LLC), was formed on October 28, 1998.  The members of the Fund are Cornerstone Industrial Properties, LLC, a California limited liability company (“CIP”), as the managing member (“Managing Member”), Terry G. Roussel, an individual, and other various unitholders as described below.  An affiliate, Cornerstone Ventures, Inc., a California corporation (“CVI”), is the managing member of CIP.  Terry G. Roussel is the principal shareholder of CVI.  The purpose of the Fund is to acquire, operate and sell multi-tenant industrial properties.  The Fund currently is issuing and selling equity interests (“units”) in a public offering in the Fund, and is admitting the new unitholders as members of the Fund.

 

The Fund is still in its offering and organizational stage, and is dependent on the Managing Member to provide advances for costs incurred in connection with the offering of units. The Managing Member must raise funds through the sale of debt or equity securities to obtain the cash necessary to provide these advances.  There can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of the Managing Member’s receipt of funds.  The Fund is to reimburse the Managing Member for the offering costs advanced by the Managing Member in the amount of 4% of the gross proceeds from the offering of units.  As of November 4, 2003, the Fund has issued 28,744 units for gross offering proceeds of $14,372,000.

 

Each member’s liability is limited pursuant to the provisions of the Beverly-Killea Limited Liability Company Act.  The term of the Fund shall continue until December 31, 2010, unless terminated sooner pursuant to the operating agreement.

 

2.                                      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statement presentation.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.  Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

 

For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the

 

7

 

reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ materially from the estimates in the near term.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of interest-bearing investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase.  Included in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2003 is $200,000 that the Fund deposited in escrow regarding the potential acquisition of a property.

 

Investments in Real Estate

 

Investments in real estate are stated at cost and include land, buildings and building improvements.  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred.  Significant replacements, betterments and tenant improvements which improve or extend the useful lives of the buildings are capitalized.  Depreciation of the buildings and building improvements is computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 39 years.  Tenant improvements are depreciated over the respective tenant’s lease term.

 

The Fund evaluates the carrying value for investments in real estate in accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”).  FAS 144 requires that when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable, companies should evaluate the need for an impairment write-down.  When an impairment write-down is required, the related assets are adjusted to their estimated fair value.

 

Office Equipment and Leasing Commissions

 

Office equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  The estimated useful life of the office equipment is five years.  Leasing commissions are stated at cost.  Amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the related lease term.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental revenues are recorded on an accrual basis as they are earned over the lives of the respective tenant leases on a straight-line basis.  Rental receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Fund believes that the recorded value of all financial instruments approximates their current values.

 

Income Tax Matters

 

It is the intent of the Fund that the Fund be treated as a partnership for income tax purposes.  As a limited liability company, the Fund is subject to certain minimal taxes and fees; however, income taxes on the income or losses realized by the Fund are generally reported on the separate returns of the members.

 

8

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Fund maintains some of its cash in money market accounts which, at times, exceeds federally insured limits.  No losses have been experienced related to such amounts.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 financial statement account balances to conform to the 2003 presentation.

 

Computation of Net Income (Loss) per Unit

 

The basic and diluted income (loss) allocable to unitholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of units outstanding for the period.

 

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“Interpretation No. 45”).  The disclosure requirements of Interpretation No. 45 are effective as of December 31, 2002.  The initial recognition and measurement requirements of Interpretation No. 45 are effective on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  Interpretation No. 45 requires the recording of a guarantee liability equal to its estimated fair value based on the expected present value of the estimated probability-weighted range of contingent payments under the guarantee arrangement.  Management has evaluated the impact of the required accounting treatment under Interpretation No. 45 for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, and as of September 30, 2003 and believes that the provisions of this pronouncement have no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“Interpretation No. 46”), which applies immediately to arrangements created after January 31, 2003.  Interpretation No. 46 applies to arrangements created before February 1, 2003 beginning on October 1, 2003.  The initial adoption of Interpretation No. 46 for arrangements created after February 1, 2003 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  We do not anticipate that the impact of arrangements entered into prior to February 1, 2003 will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”).  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3.                                      Investments in Real Estate

 

On September 27, 2002, the Fund acquired an existing multi-tenant industrial business park known as Normandie Business Center, located in Torrance, California for an investment of $3,901,696.  Normandie Business Center consists of two single-story buildings containing a total of 48,979 leasable square feet.

 

On December 27, 2002, the Fund acquired an existing multi-tenant industrial business park known as the Sky Harbor Business Park, located in Northbrook, Illinois for an investment of $2,553,996.  Sky Harbor Business Park consists of a single-story building containing a total of 41,422 leasable square feet.

 

Industrial space in the properties is generally leased to tenants under lease terms that provide for the tenants to pay a portion of operating expenses in addition to minimum rent.

 

4.                                      Deferred Offering Costs Advanced by Managing Member

 

The Managing Member pays specific incremental costs incurred in connection with the offering of membership units.  These accumulated costs incurred in excess of amounts repaid by the Fund bear simple interest at the prevailing prime commercial lending rate (4.00% at September 30, 2003) plus two percentage points.  Reimbursement by the Fund of such offering costs is limited to 4% of the gross proceeds of the related offerings.   Any offering costs incurred by the Managing Member on behalf of the Fund that are not reimbursed by the Fund will be reflected as a capital contribution to the Fund by the Managing Member, with an offsetting expense recognized in the Fund’s statement of operations.  Through September 30, 2003, the cumulative costs incurred by the Managing Member for offering costs total $1,231,690, and the Fund has repaid the Managing Member $523,420 of those offering costs.

 

5.                                      Related Party Transactions

 

In addition to the offering costs incurred by its Managing Member, the Fund is to reimburse its Managing Member for 100% of initial operating costs advanced on behalf of the Fund.  Deferred offering and initial operating costs incurred on behalf of the Fund by its Managing Member bear interest at the prevailing prime commercial lending rate plus two percentage points.  As of September 30, 2003, the Fund has fully repaid the Managing Member the initial operating costs and interest.

 

An affiliate of the Managing Member, Pacific Cornerstone Capital, Inc., is entitled to receive various fees, compensation and reimbursements as specified in the Fund’s operating agreement, including commissions of 7% of the gross proceeds from the offering of the units, marketing fees of 2% of gross proceeds from the offering of units, and expense allowances of 1.5% of gross proceeds from the offering of units.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the total fees, compensation and reimbursements were $425,775 and $436,391, respectively, of which a substantial portion was paid out to other broker-dealers.

Item 2.                     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this prospectus.  Certain statements in this section and elsewhere contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements may relate to risks and other factors that may cause the Fund’s future results of operations to be materially different than those expressed or implied herein.  Some of these risks and other factors include, but are not limited to:  (i) no assurance that Fund properties will continue to experience minimal or no vacancy; (ii) tenants may not be able to meet their financial obligations; (iii) rental revenues from the properties may not be sufficient to meet the Fund’s cash requirements for operations, capital requirements and distributions; (iv) suitable investment properties may not continue to be available; and (v) adverse changes to the general economy may disrupt operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Fund’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ materially from the estimates in the near term.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental revenues are recorded on an accrual basis as they are earned over the lives of the respective tenant leases on a straight-line basis.  Rental receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility.

 

Investments in Real Estate

 

The Fund evaluates the carrying value for investments in real estate in accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”).  FAS 144 requires that when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable, companies should evaluate the need for an impairment write-down.  When an impairment write-down is required, the related assets are adjusted to their estimated fair value.

 

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

11

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“Interpretation No. 46”), which applies immediately to arrangements created after January 31, 2003.  Interpretation No. 46 applies to arrangements created before February 1, 2003 beginning on October 1, 2003.  The initial adoption of Interpretation No. 46 for arrangements created after February 1, 2003 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  We do not anticipate that the impact of arrangements entered into prior to February 1, 2003 will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”).  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Results of Operations

 

As of September 30, 2003, we have purchased two multi-tenant industrial business park properties containing a total of 36 tenant spaces, in two different major metropolitan areas.  The properties were purchased from the proceeds from the sale of membership units, without debt financing.

 

Normandie Business Center, acquired in September 2002, is operating as expected. Lease renewals and new leases have been signed at rental rates slightly higher than our acquisition pro-forma budget. The new leases also include 5% annual increases, which is higher than the 3% increases we assumed during our acquisition forecasting. The property is currently 96% occupied.

 

Sky Harbor Business Park, acquired in December 2002, has also performed as expected.  During the acquisition review, we confirmed that one tenant who occupied 12,002 square feet was planning to vacate when their lease expired on June 30, 2003. This knowledge allowed us to negotiate a reduced purchase price and forecast a number of months for the vacancy and costs to locate a replacement tenant.  According to plan, we are actively marketing the space and anticipate having the space leased by the fourth quarter of 2003.

 

We recently identified another property for acquisition and opened an escrow account with a refundable deposit of $200,000. The property, Arrow Business Center (“ABC”), is located in Irwindale, California, a sub-market of metropolitan Los Angeles. The property is situated in a high tenant demand market and is currently 96% occupied.  We have commenced the standard due diligence review, and anticipate a closing of the transaction at the end of November 2003, pending satisfactory results of our formal review.

 

In the prior quarter, we disclosed that escrow had been opened on IRSCO Business Park (“IRSCO”).  Based upon our formal due diligence analysis of IRSCO, we determined that the property did not meet the Fund investment criteria and we subsequently terminated escrow.  The Fund incurred $22,820 of unrecoverable due diligence costs associated with the termination of the escrow for IRSCO.  These costs are included in general and administrative expenses.

 

The Fund generated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 of $264,666 compared to a net loss of $116,088 for the same period of 2002, for an overall increase in net income of $380,754.  This increase was primarily due to $376,907 of net income generated by the two properties we purchased in the fourth quarter of 2002.  Revenue from the Fund’s industrial property investments totaled

 

12

 

$669,160 and expenses including depreciation were $292,253.  With the use of cash to invest in the properties, interest income decreased by $28,314 from $45,022 to $16,708.  General and administrative expenses declined by $31,424, nearly offsetting the reduction of interest income.

 

Net income increased $87,041 from a loss of $18,236 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to a net profit of $68,805 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003.  The property operations accounted for $103,041 of the increase in the quarter’s net income.  During the three month period ended September 30, 2003, the Fund’s properties generated rental and tenant reimbursement revenues of $205,004 offset by property operating expenses and depreciation totaling $101,863.  With the use of cash investment for the acquisition of the two industrial properties, the revenue from interest, dividends and other income declined from $18,602 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to $6,781 for the three months ended September 30, 2003.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 the Fund’s cash and cash equivalents increased by $3,271,307.  This is primarily the result of net proceeds from the sale of units during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 of $3,630,394.

 

As of September 30, 2003 the Fund has $4,334,254 in cash and cash equivalents.

 

The Fund has entered escrow with a refundable deposit of $200,000 to purchase ABC for approximately $6,000,000.  We expect to close the purchase of this property during the last week of November, subject to the results of our due diligence efforts.  This purchase price obligation exceeds our cash available at September 30, 2003 by approximately $1,666,000.

 

Through November 4, 2003, we have received an additional $1,100,000 of net unit sales, reducing the shortfall described in the paragraph above to less than $566,000.  Although there is no assurance, we are highly confident that sufficient proceeds will be available prior to closing.  Lack of funds may cause us to forfeit the $200,000 deposit.  Our due diligence efforts may uncover characteristics of ABC that may cause the cancellation of the escrow and result in the return of our $200,000 deposit.

 

The Fund intends to continue offering membership units for sale and use the net proceeds from the sale of units for the acquisition of additional multi-tenant industrial business park properties, capital improvements to the properties, and for operating expenses and reserves.

 

The Fund expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements from net cash generated by operations and the net proceeds generated by the sale of membership units, which we believe will be adequate to meet operating costs of the properties and the Fund, to fund the close of escrow of ABC, and allow for cash distributions to the unitholders.

 

The Fund’s offering and organizational activities have been financed through advances from the managing member.  A portion of those advances have been reimbursed to the managing member at the rate of 4% of gross proceeds of the Fund’s unit sales pursuant to the prospectus for the offering.  The Fund will continue to incur organizational and offering expenses and the managing member, although not obligated, intends to continue providing advances for offering and organizational expenses until the sale of membership units is completed.  The managing member must raise funds through the sale of debt or equity securities to obtain the cash necessary to provide these advances.  There can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of the managing member’s receipt of funds.  The Fund will not reimburse the managing member for any amounts advanced by it for offering and organizational expenses which exceed the amounts and percentages set forth in the prospectus for the offering.  Any such expenses incurred by

 

13

 

the managing member on behalf of the Fund that are not reimbursed by the Fund will be reflected as a capital contribution to the Fund by the managing member with an offsetting expense recognized in the Fund’s statement of operations.

 

Item 3.                     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Fund invests its cash and cash equivalents in FDIC insured savings accounts which, by their nature, are not subject to interest rate fluctuations.

 

Item 4.                     Controls and Procedures

 

The Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Fund files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
