1. ORGANIZATION

KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on July 12, 2007 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Company conducts its business primarily through KBS Limited Partnership II, a Delaware limited partnership formed on August 23, 2007 (the “Operating Partnership”), and its subsidiaries. The Company is the sole general partner of and directly owns a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, KBS REIT Holdings II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on August 23, 2007 (“KBS REIT Holdings II”), owns the remaining 99.9% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner.

The Company intends to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. As of September 30, 2009, the Company owned five real estate properties (consisting of four office properties and one office/flex property), two real estate loans and one investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”).

Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company entered into with the Advisor on May 21, 2009 (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisory Agreement may be renewed for an unlimited number of one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Advisor and the Company. Either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice. The Advisor owns 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On September 27, 2007, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer a maximum of 280,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public (the “Offering”), of which 200,000,000 shares were registered in the Company’s primary offering and 80,000,000 shares were registered under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on April 22, 2008.

The Company retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement the Company entered into on April 22, 2008 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Dealer Manager is responsible for marketing the Company’s shares in the Offering. The Company intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had sold 79,194,023 shares of common stock for gross offering proceeds of $789.3 million, including 1,668,755 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $15.9 million. Also as of September 30, 2009, the Company had redeemed 161,275 of the shares sold in the Offering for $1.6 million.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, KBS REIT Holdings II, the Operating Partnership, and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for these unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Effective September 15, 2009, the ASC was established as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP. Prior to the issuance of the ASC, all GAAP pronouncements were issued in separate topical pronouncements in the form of statements, staff positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts, and were referred to as such. While the ASC does not change GAAP, it introduces a new structure and supersedes all previously issued non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. In addition to the ASC, the Company is still required to follow SEC rules and regulations relating to the preparation of financial statements. The Company’s accounting policies are consistent with the guidance set forth in the ASC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:

 

   

whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;

 

   

whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;

 

   

whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;

 

   

whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and

 

   

whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $1.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $2.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred.

The Company makes estimates of the collectibility of its tenant receivables related to base rents, including straight-line rentals, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectibility of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reduced its bad debt reserve and recorded a net recovery of bad debt related to its tenant receivables of $5,000. The Company did not record any bad debt expense related to its deferred rent receivables.

Interest income on the Company’s real estate loans receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the life of the investment using the interest method. Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs, as well as acquisition premiums or discounts, are amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. The Company will place loans on nonaccrual status when any portion of principal or interest is 90 days past due, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the Company will reverse the accrual for unpaid interest and generally will not recognize subsequent interest income until the cash is received, or the loan returns to accrual status.

The Company recognizes interest income on real estate securities that are rated “AA” and above on an accrual basis according to the contractual terms of the securities. Discounts or premiums are amortized to interest income over the life of the investment using the interest method.

The Company recognizes interest income on real estate securities that are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are rated below “AA” using the effective yield method, which requires the Company to periodically project estimated cash flows related to these securities and recognize interest income at an interest rate equivalent to the estimated yield on the security, as calculated using the security’s estimated cash flows and amortized cost basis, or reference amount. Changes in the estimated cash flows are recognized through an adjustment to the yield on the security on a prospective basis. Projecting cash flows for these types of securities requires the use of a significant amount of assumptions and judgment, which may have a significant impact on the timing of revenue recognized on these investments.

The Company recognizes interest income on its cash and cash equivalents as it is earned and records such amounts as other interest income.

Real Estate

Real Estate Acquisition Valuation

The Company records the acquisition of income-producing real estate or real estate that will be used for the production of income as a business combination. Prior to January 1, 2009, real estate acquired in a business combination, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, was recorded at cost. The Company allocated the cost of tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities (consisting of above and below-market leases and tenant origination and absorption costs) acquired in a business combination based on their estimated fair values. Beginning January 1, 2009, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values, acquisition costs are generally expensed as incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date. In addition, changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period are recorded to income tax expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company acquired one real estate asset in a business combination and expensed $1.6 million of acquisition costs.

Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of the Company’s acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of the Company’s net income.

Impairment of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets and Liabilities

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable or realized. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability by estimating whether the Company will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, the Company does not believe that it will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, the Company would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities. There were no impairment losses related to real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities recorded by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Real Estate Loans Receivable

The Company’s real estate loans receivable are recorded at amortized cost, net of loan loss reserves (if any), and evaluated for impairment at each balance sheet date. The amortized cost of a real estate loan receivable is the outstanding unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized acquisition premiums or discounts and unamortized costs and fees directly associated with the origination or acquisition of the loan.

As of September 30, 2009, there was no loan loss reserve and there were no impairment losses related to the real estate loans receivable recorded by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. However, in the future, the Company may experience losses from its investments in loans receivable requiring the Company to record loan loss reserves. Realized losses on individual loans could be material and significantly exceed any recorded reserves.

The reserve for loan losses is a valuation allowance that reflects management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is adjusted through “Provision for loan losses” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and is decreased by charge-offs to specific loans when losses are confirmed. The reserve for loan losses may include a portfolio-based component and an asset-specific component.

The asset-specific reserve component relates to reserves for losses on loans considered impaired. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company also considers a loan to be impaired if it grants the borrower a concession through a modification of the loan terms or if it expects to receive assets (including equity interests in the borrower) in partial satisfaction of the loan. A reserve is established when the present value of payments expected to be received, observable market prices, the estimated fair value of the collateral (for loans that are dependent on the collateral for repayment) or amounts received in partial satisfaction of an impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan.

The portfolio-based reserve component covers the pool of loans that do not have asset-specific reserves. A provision for loan losses is recorded when available information as of each balance sheet date indicates that it is probable that the pool of loans will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Required reserve balances for this pool of loans are derived from estimated probabilities of default and estimated loss severities assuming a default occurs. On a quarterly basis, the Company’s management assigns estimated probabilities of default and loss severities to each loan in the portfolio based on factors such as the debt service coverage of the underlying collateral, the estimated fair value of the collateral, the significance of the borrower’s investment in the collateral, the financial condition of the borrower and/or its sponsors, the likelihood that the borrower and/or its sponsors would allow the loan to default, the Company’s willingness and ability to step in as owner in the event of default, and other pertinent factors.

Failure to recognize impairments would result in the overstatement of earnings and the carrying value of the Company’s real estate loans held for investment. Actual losses, if any, could differ significantly from estimated amounts.

Real Estate Securities

The Company classifies its investments in real estate securities as available-for-sale, since the Company may sell them prior to their maturity but does not hold them principally for the purpose of making frequent investments and sales with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price. These investments are carried at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Estimated fair values are generally based on quoted market prices, when available, or on estimates provided by independent pricing sources or dealers who make markets in such securities. In certain circumstances, such as when the market for the securities becomes inactive, the Company may determine it is appropriate to perform an internal valuation of the securities. Upon the sale of a security, the previously recognized unrealized gain (loss) would be reversed and the actual realized gain (loss) recognized.

On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its real estate securities for impairment. The Company reviews the projected future cash flows from these securities for changes in assumptions due to prepayments, credit loss experience and other factors. If, based on the Company’s quarterly estimate of cash flows, there has been an adverse change in the estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously estimated, the present value of the revised cash flows is less than the present value previously estimated and the fair value of the securities is less than its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred.

When the Company holds an other-than-temporarily impaired security that it does not intend to sell and where it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to the anticipated recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company will separate the other-than-temporary impairment loss into a credit component and a component related to other factors (e.g., market fluctuations). The Company calculates the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the present value of its estimated cash flows discounted at the yield used to recognize interest income. The credit component will be charged to earnings and the component related to other factors will be recorded to other comprehensive income (loss).

As of September 30, 2009, the Company determined that the amortized cost basis of its real estate securities approximates the fair value and did not record any unrealized holding gains or losses. The Company did not recognize other-than-temporary impairments on its real estate securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. It is difficult to predict the timing or magnitude of these other-than-temporary impairments and significant judgments are required in determining impairments, including, but not limited to, assumptions regarding estimated prepayments, loss assumptions, and assumptions with respect to changes in interest rates. As a result, actual impairment losses could materially differ from these estimates.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, loan fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financings that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s deferred financing costs were $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, net of amortization.

Fair Value Measurements

Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

   

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

   

Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establishes a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources.

Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (i) there are few recent transactions, (ii) price quotations are not based on current information, (iii) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (iv) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (v) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with the Company’s estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (vi) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (vii) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (viii) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market).

The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (i) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (ii) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (iii) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (iv) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This update provides amendments to the ASC for the fair value measurement of liabilities. In circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, the reporting entity is required to measure fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. These amendments to the ASC are effective upon issuance and did not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Redeemable Common Stock

The Company has adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances.

There are several limitations on the Company’s ability to redeem shares under the share redemption program:

 

   

Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” (as defined under the share redemption program) or “determination of incompetence” (as defined under the share redemption program), the Company may not redeem shares until the stockholder has held his or her shares for one year.

 

   

The share redemption program limits the number of shares the Company may redeem to those that the Company could purchase with the amount of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year.

 

   

During any calendar year, the Company may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.

The Company has no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.

Pursuant to the program, the Company will initially redeem shares as follows:

 

   

The lower of $9.25 or 92.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company for stockholders who have held their shares for at least one year;

 

   

The lower of $9.50 or 95.0% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company for stockholders who have held their shares for at least two years;

 

   

The lower of $9.75 or 97.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company for stockholders who have held their shares for at least three years;

 

   

The lower of $10.00 or 100% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company for stockholders who have held their shares for at least four years; and

 

   

Notwithstanding the above, until the Company establishes an estimated value per share, the redemption price for shares being redeemed upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” will be the amount paid to acquire the shares from the Company.

Once the Company establishes an estimated value per share of common stock, the redemption price per share for all stockholders will be equal to the estimated value per share, as determined by the Advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. The share redemption program document states that the Company expects to establish an estimated value per share no later than three years after the completion of its offering stage; however, to assist broker-dealers who sell shares in the Offering meet their regulatory obligations, the Company currently expects to establish an estimated value per share no later than the expiration of the first 18-month period in which the Company does not sell shares in an equity offering. “Offering” for this purpose could include a public or private offering of equity securities but does not include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to a dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in the Operating Partnership.

The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share redemption program with 30 days’ notice to its stockholders. The Company may provide this notice by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in the Company’s annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or by a separate mailing to its stockholders.

The Company records amounts that are redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets since the shares are mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holder and therefore their redemption is outside the control of the Company. The maximum amount redeemable under the Company’s share redemption program is limited to the number of shares the Company could redeem with the amount of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. However, since the amounts that can be redeemed are determinable and only contingent on an event that is likely to occur (e.g., the passage of time), the Company presents the net proceeds from the current year and prior year dividend reinvestment plan as redeemable common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company classifies financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the Company to redeem shares as liabilities. The Company’s redeemable common shares are contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. When the Company determines it has a mandatory obligation to redeem shares under the share redemption program, it will reclassify such obligations from temporary equity to a liability based upon their respective settlement values.

The Company limits the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program as described above. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company redeemed $1.6 million of common stock.

Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay the Advisor and the Dealer Manager specified fees upon the provision of certain services related to the Offering, the investment of funds in real estate and real estate-related investments, management of the Company’s investments and other services (including, but not limited to, the disposition of investments), as well as to reimburse the Advisor and Dealer Manager for organization and offering costs incurred by the Advisor and the Dealer Manager on behalf of the Company and reimburse the Advisor for acquisition and origination expenses and certain operating expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or incurred in connection with providing services to the Company. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to certain other fees, including an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals, as detailed in the Advisory Agreement.

The Company records all related party fees as incurred, subject to any limitations described in the Advisory Agreement. The Company had not incurred any disposition fees, subordinated participation in net cash flows, or subordinated incentive listing fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

The Company pays the Dealer Manager up to 6% and 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds from the primary offering as selling commissions and dealer manager fees, respectively. A reduced sales commission and dealer manager fee is paid with respect to certain volume discount sales. No sales commission or dealer manager fee is paid on shares issued through the dividend reinvestment plan. The Dealer Manager reallows 100% of sales commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. The Dealer Manager may reallow to any participating broker-dealer up to 1% of the gross offering proceeds attributable to that participating broker-dealer as a marketing fee and, in special cases, the Dealer Manager may increase the reallowance.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) of the Company may be paid by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates on behalf of the Company. Other offering costs include all expenses to be incurred by the Company in connection with the Offering. Organization costs include all expenses to be incurred by the Company in connection with the formation of the Company, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate the Company.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and other offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company, provided that the Advisor would be obligated to reimburse the Company to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs incurred by the Company in the Offering exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds. As a result, these costs are only a liability of the Company to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs incurred by the Company do not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and organization and other offering costs did not exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds. Through September 30, 2009, including shares issued through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, the Company had issued 79,194,023 shares in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $789.3 million and recorded organization and other offering costs of $10.7 million and selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $71.9 million. Organization costs are expensed as incurred and offering costs, which include selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are charged as incurred as a reduction to stockholders’ equity.

Acquisition and Origination Fees

The Company pays the Advisor an acquisition fee equal to 0.75% of the cost of investments acquired, including acquisition expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. With respect to investments in and originations of loans, the Company pays an origination fee equal to 1.0% of the amount funded by the Company to acquire or originate mortgage, mezzanine, bridge or other loans, including any expenses related to such investments and any debt the Company uses to fund the acquisition or origination of these loans. The Company does not pay an acquisition fee with respect to such loans.

Asset Management Fee

With respect to investments in real estate, the Company pays the Advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, inclusive of acquisition fees and expenses related thereto and the amount of any debt associated with or used to acquire such investment. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying investment.

With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real estate, the Company pays the Advisor a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment, inclusive of acquisition or origination fees and expenses related thereto and the amount of any debt associated with or used to acquire or fund such investment and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the acquisition or origination fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment, as of the time of calculation.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes as dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company believes that it is organized and operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

Per Share Data

Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and is based on daily record dates for distributions for the period of $0.00178082 per share per day. Each day during the period from January 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009 was a record date for distributions.

Distributions for the period from July 16, 2008 through August 15, 2008 were based on daily record dates and calculated at a rate of $0.00054795 per share per day. Distributions for the period from August 16, 2008 through September 30, 2008 are based on daily record dates and calculated at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day. No day during the period from January 1, 2008 through July 15, 2008 was a record date for distributions.

Industry Segments

The Company’s segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting which classifies its operations by investment type: real estate and real estate-related. For financial data by segment, see Note 10, “Segment Information.”

Operating Leases

The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of September 30, 2009, the leases have remaining terms of up to 9.8 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 4.9 years. The leases may have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires security deposits from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. Amounts required as security deposits vary depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $0.7 million and $0.6 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

As of September 30, 2009, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases is as follows (in thousands):

(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income, adjusted to straight-line any contractual rent increases or decreases from the lease’s inception through the balance of the lease term.

No other tenant industries accounted for more than 10% of annualized based rent. No material tenant credit issues have been identified at this time.

(1) Contractual interest rate as of September 30, 2009 represents the interest rate in effect under the loan as of September 30, 2009. Interest rate at September 30, 2009 is calculated as the actual interest rate in effect at September 30, 2009 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate floors), using interest rate indices as September 30, 2009 where applicable.

(2) Represents the initial maturity date or the maturity date as extended as of September 30, 2009; subject to certain conditions, the maturity dates of certain loans may be extended beyond the date shown.

(3) During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company modified the terms of the loan. As part of the modification, the loan is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with another property and represented under Portfolio Mortgage Loan. See footnote (4) below.

(4) Represents a portfolio of two separate loans. The individual deeds of trust and mortgages on the respective properties securing the loans are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized. At inception, this loan provided the Company with the ability to draw up to $4.0 million for general cash management purposes. From inception of the loan to September 30, 2009, the Company has drawn $2.5 million and $1.5 million remains available as of September 30, 2009.

(5) The interest rate under this loan is calculated at a variable rate of 375 basis points over one-month LIBOR, but at no point shall the interest rate be less than 4.10%.

(6) On July 10, 2009, the Company made an $84.8 million principal payment on this loan to reduce the outstanding principal balance to $5.0 million.

(7) During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company repaid in full the principal and accrued interest on this loan.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred $2.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively, of interest expense. Of this amount, $0.4 million was payable as of September 30, 2009. Included in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of amortization of deferred financing costs.

100 & 200 Campus Drive Mortgage Loan Extension

On September 8, 2009, the Company entered an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to extend the maturity date of the 100 & 200 Campus Drive Mortgage Loan to December 9, 2009. During the extension period, the interest rate under this loan will be calculated at a variable rate of 375 basis points over one-month LIBOR, as reset daily, with the option to request a fixed rate equal to 375 basis points over one-month LIBOR by entering into a one-month LIBOR contract.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and whose markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments whose markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:

Cash and cash equivalents, rent and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.

Real estate loans receivable: These instruments are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost net of recorded loan loss reserves and not at fair value. The fair values of real estate loans receivable were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loans, underlying collateral values (for collateral-dependent loans) and estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value, type of collateral and other credit enhancements.

Real estate securities: This investment is classified as available-for-sale and is presented at fair value. As of September 30, 2009, the Company based its fair value measurements of the real estate securities on an internal valuation model that considered expected cash flows from the underlying loans and yields required by market participants. As such, the Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.

Notes Payable: The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements.

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company at September 30, 2009 and requires a significant amount of judgment. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.

At September 30, 2009, the Company held the following assets measured at fair value (in thousands):

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company presently operates in two business segments based on its investment types: real estate and real estate-related. Under the real estate segment, the Company has invested in office and office/flex properties. Under the real estate-related segment, the Company has invested in a mortgage loan, an A-Note and CMBS. All revenues earned from the Company’s two operating segments were from external customers and there were no intersegment sales or transfers. The Company does not allocate corporate-level accounts to its operating segments. Corporate-level accounts include corporate general and administrative expenses, non-operating interest income, non-operating interest expense and other corporate-level expenses. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based upon net operating income (“NOI”), which is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure. The Company defines NOI for its real estate segment as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other operating income) less property and related expenses (property operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, asset management fees and provision for bad debt) less interest expense. The Company defines NOI for its real estate-related segment as interest income less loan servicing costs and asset management fees. NOI excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of an asset such as non-property income and expenses, depreciation and amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company uses NOI to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s real estate and real estate-related investments and to make decisions about resource allocations. The Company believes that net income is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to NOI; however, NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of operating performance as it excludes the items described above. Additionally, NOI as defined above may not be comparable to other REITs or companies as their definitions of NOI may differ from the Company’s definition.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company has two investments in real estate loans receivable, the Northern Trust Building A-Note and the One Liberty Plaza Notes, that, as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, comprised 7% and 8% of the Company’s total assets, respectively, and provided 11% and 12% of the Company’s revenues, respectively. The borrowers under these loans depend on the cash flows generated by the properties securing these loans to cover the borrower’s periodic debt service obligations. To the extent that these properties do not provide sufficient cash flows to cover debt service obligations, the borrowers would rely on their sponsors to fund the remaining debt service obligations. If the borrowers’ sponsors were to experience a substantial deterioration in financial condition and no longer possessed the ability or intent to fund the borrowers’ debt service shortfalls, the borrowers might default on the loans. Under such a scenario, the Company may incur losses to the extent that the value of the collateral is less than its recorded basis in the note. The Company believes the sponsors of the borrowers under these loans are sufficiently capitalized to fund any of the borrowers’ debt service shortfalls.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing environmental laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of September 30, 2009.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were issued on November 11, 2009.

Status of the Offering

The Company commenced its Offering on April 22, 2008. As of November 4, 2009, the Company had sold 84,745,356 shares of common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $844.4 million, including 1,908,978 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $18.1 million.

Distributions Paid

On October 15, 2009, the Company paid distributions of $4.1 million, which related to distributions declared for each day in the period from September 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009.

Distributions Declared

On October 23, 2009, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from November 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009, which the Company expects to pay in December 2009. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.

Distributions for these periods will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during these periods at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day and equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 6.5% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share.

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

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, KBS Limited Partnership II, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

 

   

Both we and our advisor have limited operating histories. This inexperience makes our future performance difficult to predict.

 

   

All of our executive officers, some of our directors and other key real estate professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, our dealer manager and other KBS-affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other KBS-advised programs and investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions.

 

   

Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other KBS-advised programs or investors, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders.

 

   

If we raise substantially less than the maximum offering, we may not be able to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate assets and the value of an investment in us may vary more widely with the performance of specific assets.

 

   

If we are unable to locate investments with attractive yields while we are investing the proceeds of our ongoing initial public offering, our distributions and the long-term returns of our investors may be lower than they otherwise would.

 

   

We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our properties could decrease due to a reduction in tenants (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

   

Our current and future investments in real estate, mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, bridge loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other debt may be affected by unfavorable real estate market and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders. Revenues from the properties and other assets directly securing our loan investments could decrease, making it more difficult for the borrower to meet its payment obligations to us, which could in turn make it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

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

 

   

Ongoing credit market disruptions have caused the spreads on prospective debt financing to increase. This could cause the costs and terms of new financings to be less attractive than the terms of our current indebtedness and increase the cost of our variable rate debt. In addition, we may not be able to refinance our existing indebtedness or to obtain additional debt financing on attractive terms. As such, we may be forced to use a greater proportion of our offering proceeds to finance our acquisitions, reducing the number of acquisitions we would otherwise make, and/or dispose of some of our assets.

 

   

Continued disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could adversely affect the value of our investments.

 

   

Certain of our debt obligations have variable interest rates with interest and related payments that vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indexes. Increases in the indexes could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

   

We cannot predict with any certainty how much, if any, of our dividend reinvestment plan proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program, the funding of capital expenditures on our real estate investments, or the repayment of debt. If such funds are not available from the dividend reinvestment plan offering, then we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations to meet these cash requirements, which would reduce cash available for distributions and could limit our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program.

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item IA of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the risks identified under Part II, Item 1A of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Overview

We are a recently organized Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year that ended December 31, 2008. On September 27, 2007, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 280,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public, of which 80,000,000 shares are being offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on April 22, 2008 and we broke escrow in our ongoing initial public offering on June 24, 2008. We expect to sell the 200,000,000 shares offered in our primary offering over a two-year period. If we have not sold all of the shares within two years, we may continue the offering beyond that date. As of September 30, 2009, we had sold 79,194,023 shares of common stock for gross offering proceeds of $789.3 million, including 1,668,755 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $15.9 million. Also as of September 30, 2009, we had recorded aggregate redemptions of 161,275 shares sold in our offering for $1.6 million.

We intend to acquire and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. We plan to diversify our portfolio by investment type, investment size and investment risk with the goal of attaining a portfolio of income-producing real estate and real estate-related investments that provide attractive and stable returns to our investors. We intend to allocate between 60% and 70% of our portfolio to investments in core properties and allocate between 30% and 40% of our portfolio to real estate-related investments such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans; debt and derivative securities related to real estate assets, including mortgage-backed securities; and the equity securities of other REITs and real estate companies. We do not expect our non-controlling equity investments in other public companies to exceed 5% of the proceeds of our ongoing initial public offering, assuming we sell the maximum offering amount, or to represent a substantial portion of our assets at any one time. Although this is our current target portfolio, we may make adjustments to our target portfolio based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities. We will not forego a real estate or real estate-related investment opportunity because it does not precisely fit our expected portfolio composition. Thus, to the extent that our advisor presents us with investment opportunities that allow us to meet the REIT requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and maintain our exemption from registering as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, our portfolio composition may vary significantly from what we initially expect.

KBS Capital Advisors LLC (“KBS Capital Advisors”) is our advisor. As our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. KBS Capital Advisors makes recommendations on all investments to our board of directors. KBS Capital Advisors also provides asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf. We have no paid employees.

If we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year after electing REIT status, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and cash available for distribution. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in a manner that will enable us to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008, and we intend to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes thereafter.

Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets

During 2008 and 2009, significant and widespread concerns about credit risk, access to capital and deflation have been present in the global capital markets. Both the national and most global economies have experienced substantially increased unemployment, sagging consumer confidence and a downturn in economic activity. In addition, the failure or near failure of several large financial institutions early in this period and the continued failures of smaller financial institutions and businesses, together with government interventions in the financial system, including interventions in bankruptcy proceedings and restrictions on businesses, have led to increased uncertainty and volatility for the markets and businesses in general. Despite certain recent positive economic indicators, improved stock market performance and improved access to capital for some companies, the aforementioned conditions, combined with stagnant business activity and low consumer confidence, have resulted in an unprecedented global recession and continue to contribute to a challenging macro-economic environment that may interfere with the implementation of our business strategy or force us to modify it.

As a result of the decline in general economic conditions, the U.S. commercial real estate industry has also been experiencing deteriorating fundamentals across all major property types and most geographic markets. Recently, leasing activity in New York City has increased and tempered optimism has started making its way into this market; however, this trend only recently began and an improvement in one market does not provide an indication of a general market recovery or provide any indication of the duration of the existing downturn or the speed of an expected recovery. In general, tenant defaults are on the rise, rental rates are falling, and demand for commercial real estate space in most markets is contracting. It is expected that this will create a highly competitive leasing environment that should result in downward pressure on both occupancy and rental rates, resulting in leasing incentives becoming more common. Mortgage delinquencies and defaults have trended upward, with many industry analysts predicting significant credit defaults, foreclosures and capital losses, in particular for subordinate securitized debt instruments.

From a financing perspective, severe dislocations and liquidity disruptions in the credit markets in late 2008 and early 2009 impacted both the cost and availability of commercial real estate debt. The commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) market, formerly a significant source of liquidity and debt capital, has become virtually inactive and has left a void in the market for long-term, affordable, fixed rate debt. This void has been partially filled by portfolio lenders such as insurance companies, but at very different terms than were available in the past five years. These remaining lenders have generally increased credit spreads, lowered the amount of available proceeds, required recourse security and credit enhancements, and otherwise tightened underwriting standards considerably, while simultaneously generally limiting lending to existing relationships with borrowers that invest in high quality assets in top tier markets. In addition, lenders have limited the amount of financing available to existing relationships in an effort to manage capital allocations and credit risk. Nevertheless, in some recent positive developments, risk premiums on AAA CMBS, public REIT unsecured corporate bonds and corporate bonds in general have tightened significantly and a number of public REITs have recently issued new debt at lower costs, leading many to believe that commercial real estate lending will be revived as the market’s appetite for risk slowly returns.

Currently, benchmark interest rates, such as LIBOR, are at historic lows, allowing some borrowers with variable rate real estate loans to continue making debt service payments even as the properties securing these loans experience decreased occupancy and lower rental rates. These low rates have benefitted borrowers with floating rate debt who have experienced lower revenues due to decreased occupancy or lower rental rates. Low short-term rates have allowed them to meet their debt obligations but the borrowers would not meet the current underwriting requirements needed to refinance this debt today. As these loans near maturity, borrowers will find it increasingly difficult to refinance these loans in the current underwriting environment.

Additionally, overall transaction volume for real estate acquisitions has declined dramatically across all property types. Lack of available credit and poor investor confidence have translated into generally declining real estate values and a corresponding rise in required investment returns and capitalization rates. Although many owners of real estate prefer not to be sellers in a declining market, the tight credit conditions and increased refinancing risk may force an increasing number of real property owners into distressed sales, or to otherwise consider liquidating their holdings in an effort to enhance liquidity on their own balance sheet. Following a prolonged period of inactivity, some transactions have been closed over the last few months; however, the volume is well below that seen just a year ago.

Impact on Our Real Estate Investments

These market conditions have and will likely continue to have a significant impact our real estate investments. In addition, these market conditions have impacted our tenants’ businesses, which makes it more difficult for them to meet current lease obligations and places pressure on them to negotiate favorable lease terms upon renewal in order for their businesses to remain viable. Projected future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to sign new tenants, are expected to result in decreases in cash flow. Historically low interest rates could help offset some of the impact of decreases in operating cash flow for properties financed with variable rate mortgages; however, interest rates may not remain at these historically low levels for the life of many of our investments.

Impact on Our Real Estate-Related Investments

Our real estate-related investments are directly secured by commercial real estate. As a result, our real estate-related investments have been impacted to some degree by the same factors impacting our real estate investments.

As of September 30, 2009, we had real estate loans receivable with a principal value of $209.5 million and a carrying value of $129.3 million, all of which are fixed rate and mature in 2017.

Impact on Our Financing Activities

In light of the risks associated with projected declines of operating cash flows on our properties and the current underwriting environment for commercial real estate mortgages, we may have difficulty refinancing some of our mortgage notes at maturity or may not be able to refinance our obligations at terms as favorable as the terms on our existing indebtedness. As of September 30, 2009, we had debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $125.2 million. Short-term variable rate loans representing $31.3 million of this debt mature within the next year, and a long-term fixed rate loan representing the remaining $93.9 million of this debt matures in 2014. We intend to extend or refinance these mortgage loans upon their initial maturity dates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demand for funds during the short and long-term is and will be for the acquisition of properties, loans and other real estate-related investments; the payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses; payments under debt obligations; and payments of distributions to stockholders. To date, we have had four primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements:

 

   

Proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering;

 

   

Proceeds from common stock issued under our dividend reinvestment plan;

 

   

Debt financings; and

 

   

Cash flow generated by our real estate operations and real estate-related investments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our cash needs for acquisitions, capital expenditures and payment of debt obligations were met with the proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering, including our dividend reinvestment plan. Operating cash needs during the same period were met through cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments. We made distributions to our stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 using a combination of cumulative cash flows from operations and debt financing. In addition, as of September 30, 2009, we had $1.5 million available for future disbursements under a six-month bridge loan facility for general cash management requirements. We believe that our cash on hand, proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering, cash flow from operations and anticipated financing activities are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the remainder of the year.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

We commenced real estate operations with the acquisition of our first real estate investment on July 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2009, we owned five real estate properties, two real estate loans receivable and one investment in CMBS. Net cash provided by operating activities were $18.2 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to increases in rental revenue from our real estate and increases in contractual interest income from our real estate-related investments as a result of our investment activities during 2008 and 2009, partially offset by increases in rental expenses, asset management fees, interest expense and general and administrative expenses. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $185.1 million and $220.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our significant investing activities were as follows:

 

   

Acquisitions of one real estate investment totaling $112.2 million and two real estate investments totaling $215.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

   

Acquisition of one real estate loan receivable of $67.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

 

   

Investment in real estate securities of $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

 

   

Escrow deposits for future real estate acquisitions of $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities were $254.2 million and $263.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and consisted of the following:

Primary Public Offering and Payment of Offering and Other Costs and Expenses

 

   

Net offering proceeds of $413.4 million related to our initial public offering for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (excluding proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan of $13.9 million and after payment of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering expenses of $47.8 million).

 

   

Net offering proceeds of $138.3 million related to our initial public offering for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (excluding proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan of $0.6 million and after payment of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering expenses of $17.5 million).

 

   

Payments to redeem common stock of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Debt Financings

 

   

Net proceeds from notes payable of $14.1 million consisting of (i) borrowings totaling $10.3 million related to the Portfolio Mortgage Loan and (ii) loan draws of $3.8 million used to fund general cash management requirements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

 

   

Net proceeds from notes payable of $128.1 million related to borrowings for the purchase of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

 

   

Principal paydowns of notes payable of $160.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

 

   

Payments of deferred financing costs related to the financing of real estate of $0.6 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Distributions Paid to Common Stockholders

 

   

Aggregate distributions declared of $27.2 million and net cash distributions paid of $10.7 million after giving effect to dividends reinvested by stockholders of $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

 

   

Aggregate distributions declared of $1.0 million and net cash distributions paid of $0.3 million after giving effect to dividends reinvested by stockholders of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

Our investment strategy is to utilize primarily secured and possibly unsecured debt to finance our investment portfolio; however, given the current debt market environment, we may elect to forego the use of debt on some or all of our future real estate acquisitions. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that we are positioned to take advantage of the current conditions in the capital markets. We may elect to obtain financing subsequent to the acquisition date on future real estate acquisitions and initially acquire investments without debt financing. Once we have fully invested the proceeds of our ongoing initial public offering, we expect our debt financing to be between 50% and 65% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation or other noncash reserves). Our charter limits our borrowings to 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other noncash reserves) of our tangible assets; however, we may exceed that limit if the majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and we disclose such borrowings to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. During the early stages of our ongoing initial public offering, and to the extent financing in excess of this limit is available at attractive terms, the conflicts committee may approve debt in excess of this limit. From time to time, our debt financing may be below 50% of the cost of our tangible assets due to the lack of availability of debt financing. As of September 30, 2009, our borrowings were approximately 15% of the cost of all our tangible assets (before depreciation or other noncash reserves).

In addition to using our capital resources for investing purposes and meeting our debt obligations, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and the dealer manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments will include payments to the dealer manager for selling commissions and dealer manager fees and payments to the dealer manager and our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and other offering expenses. However, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of our gross offering proceeds. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to make payments to our advisor in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of real estate and real estate-related investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. The advisory agreement has a one-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of KBS Capital Advisors and our conflicts committee.

The following is a summary of our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

 

          Payments Due During the Years Ending December 31,

Contractual Obligations

   Total    Remainder
of 2009
   2010-2011    2012-2013    Thereafter

Outstanding debt obligations (1)

   $ 125,180    $ 5,000    $ 26,330    $ —      $ 93,850

Interest payments on outstanding debt obligations (2)

     25,460      1,706      11,163      11,074      1,517

 

(1) Amounts include principal payments only.

(2) Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts and interest rates in effect at September 30, 2009 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate floors). We incurred interest expense of $7.5 million, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs totaling $0.9 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we broke escrow in our ongoing initial public offering on June 24, 2008. We have not yet invested all of the proceeds from our offering received to date and expect to continue to raise additional capital and make future acquisitions, which would have a significant impact on our future results of operations. We commenced real estate operations on July 30, 2008 in connection with the acquisition of our first investment and during the three months ended September 30, 2008, we acquired two real estate properties. As of September 30, 2009, we owned four office properties, one office/flex property, two real estate loans receivable and one investment in CMBS. Therefore, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not comparable to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2008 versus the three months ended September 30, 2009

Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from $1.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $12.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect rental income and tenant reimbursements to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate.

Interest income from our real estate loans receivable, calculated using the interest method, was $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Interest income included $1.4 million in accretion of purchase price discounts, net of amortization of closing costs. We did not own any real estate loans receivable as of September 30, 2008, and therefore, did not generate any interest income from real estate loans receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2008. We expect that interest income will be higher in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate-related investments.

Interest income from real estate securities totaled $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and relates to our floating rate CMBS purchased on August 3, 2009.

Property operating costs increased from $0.5 million for the three months end September 30, 2008 to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Real estate taxes and insurance increased from $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in property operating costs, real estate taxes and insurance was due to the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect these amounts to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate.

Asset management fees with respect to our real estate and real estate-related investments increased from $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of the growth in our real estate and real estate-related investment portfolio. All asset management fees incurred as of September 30, 2008 and 2009 have been paid. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments.

Real estate acquisition fees and expenses were $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and relate to the acquisition of one real estate property. Prior to January 1, 2009, costs related to the acquisition of real estate were capitalized.

General and administrative expenses increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. These general and administrative costs consisted primarily of insurance premiums and professional fees. We expect general and administrative costs to increase in future periods as we acquire additional real estate and real estate-related investments but to decrease as a percentage of total revenue.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect these amounts to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate.

Interest expense increased from $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in interest expense is due to the increase in average principal outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the amount of proceeds raised in our ongoing initial public offering, the availability and cost of debt financing, and the opportunity to acquire real estate and real estate-related investments meeting our investment objectives.

Other interest income decreased from $198,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $151,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and consisted of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalent accounts. The decrease in other interest income is primarily due to the decrease in interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which was partially offset by the increase in our average cash balance during the same periods. Other interest income in future periods will vary based on the interest rates earned on our cash and cash equivalent accounts and the level of cash on hand, which will depend in part on how quickly we raise funds in our ongoing initial public offering and how quickly we invest those funds.

Organization and Offering Costs

Our organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) may be paid by our advisor, the dealer manager or their affiliates on our behalf. Other offering costs include all expenses to be incurred by us in connection with our ongoing initial public offering. Organization costs include all expenses incurred by us in connection with our formation, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate. Organization costs are expensed as incurred and offering costs, which include selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are charged as incurred as a reduction to stockholders’ equity.

Pursuant to the advisory agreement and the dealer manager agreement, we are obligated to reimburse our advisor, the dealer manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and other offering costs paid by them on our behalf; however, our advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs incurred by us exceed 15% of gross proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering. As of September 30, 2009, selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and organization and other offering costs did not exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds. Through September 30, 2009, including shares issued through our dividend reinvestment plan, we have issued 79,194,023 shares in the offering for gross offering proceeds of $789.3 million and recorded organization and other offering costs of $10.7 million and selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $71.9 million.

Funds from Operations

We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. Because FFO calculations exclude such items as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO includes adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance.

Our calculation of FFO, which we believe is consistent with the calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT, is presented in the following table for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively (in thousands):

 

     For the Three Months

Significant Items Included in Net Income (Loss):

 

   

Revenues in excess of actual cash received as a result of straight-line rent of $0.6 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008;

 

   

Revenues in excess of actual cash received as a result of amortization of above-market/below-market in-place leases of approximately $1.4 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and approximately $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008;

 

   

Interest income from the accretion of discounts on real estate loans receivable and real estate securities, net of amortization of closing costs, of $1.5 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively;

 

   

Interest expense from the amortization of deferred financing costs related to notes payable of approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and approximately $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008; and

 

   

Acquisition fees and expenses related to the purchase of real estate of approximately $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. Prior to January 1, 2009, acquisition fees and expenses related to the purchase of real estate were capitalized.

Operating cash flow and FFO may also be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO, such as tenant improvements, building improvements and deferred leasing costs.

Distributions

During our offering stage, when we may raise capital in our ongoing initial public offering more quickly than we acquire income-producing assets, and for some period after our offering stage, we may not be able to pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations or FFO, in which case distributions may be paid in part from debt financing. Distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flows from operations were as follows for the first, second and third quarters of 2009 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(3) Distributions are paid on a monthly basis. Distributions for all record dates of a given month are paid approximately 15 days following month end.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we paid aggregate distributions of $24.7 million, including $10.7 million of distributions paid in cash and $13.9 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $27.1 million and cash flow from operations was $18.2 million. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and dividends reinvested by stockholders, with $18.2 million of current period operating cash flows, $2.7 million of operating cash reserves from prior periods and $3.8 million of debt financing. See the reconciliation of FFO to net income (loss) above.

Over the long-term, we expect that a greater percentage of our distributions will be paid from cash flow from operations and FFO (except with respect to distributions related to sales of our assets and distributions related to the repayment of principal under investments we make in mortgage, mezzanine and other loans). However, our operating performance cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including those discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” and “Results of Operations,” herein, and the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC and the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Those factors include: the future operating performance of our investments in the existing real estate and financial environment; our ability to identify investments that are suitable to execute our investment objectives; the success and economic viability of our tenants; the ability of our borrowers and their sponsors to continue to make their debt service payments and/or to repay their loans upon maturity; our ability to refinance existing indebtedness at comparable terms; changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations or loans receivable; and the level of participation in our dividend reinvestment plan. In the event our FFO and/or cash flow from operations decrease in the future, the level of our distributions may also decrease. In addition, future distributions declared and paid may exceed FFO and/or cash flow from operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A disclosure of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2009, except as follows:

Real Estate

Real Estate Acquisition Valuation

We record the acquisition of income-producing real estate or real estate that will be used for the production of income as a business combination. Prior to January 1, 2009, real estate acquired in a business combination, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, was recorded at cost. We allocated the cost of tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities (consisting of above and below-market leases and tenant origination and absorption costs) acquired in a business combination based on their estimated fair values. Beginning January 1, 2009, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values, acquisition costs are generally expensed as incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date. In addition, changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period are recorded to income tax expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we acquired one real estate asset in a business combination and expensed $1.6 million of acquisition costs.

Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require us to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of our acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of our net income.

Real Estate Securities

We classify our investment in real estate securities as available-for-sale, since we may sell them prior to their maturity but do not hold them principally for the purpose of making frequent investments and sales with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price. This investment is carried at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Estimated fair values are generally based on quoted market prices, when available, or on estimates provided by independent pricing sources or dealers who make markets in such securities. In certain circumstances, such as when the market for the securities becomes inactive, we may determine it is appropriate to perform an internal valuation of the securities. Upon the sale of a security, the previously recognized unrealized gain (loss) would be reversed and the actual realized gain (loss) recognized.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our real estate securities for impairment. We review the projected future cash flows under these securities for changes in assumptions due to prepayments, credit loss experience and other factors. If, based on our quarterly estimate of cash flows, there has been an adverse change in the estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously estimated and the present value of the revised cash flows is less than the present value previously estimated and the fair value of the securities is less than its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred.

When we hold an other-than-temporarily impaired security that we do not intend to sell and where it is not likely that we will be required to sell the security prior to the anticipated recovery of our amortized cost basis, we will separate the other-than-temporary impairment loss into a credit component and a component related to other factors (e.g., market fluctuations). We calculate the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the present value of its estimated cash flows discounted at the yield used to recognize interest income. The credit component will be charged to earnings and the component related to other factors will be recorded to other comprehensive income (loss).

As of September 30, 2009, we determined that the amortized cost basis of our real estate securities approximates its fair value and did not record any unrealized holding gains or losses. We did not recognize other-than-temporary impairments on our real estate securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. It is difficult to predict the timing or magnitude of these other-than-temporary impairments and significant judgments are required in determining impairments, including, but not limited to, assumptions regarding estimated prepayments, loss assumptions, and assumptions with respect to changes in interest rates. As a result, actual impairment losses could materially differ from these estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Under GAAP, we are required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, we are required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

   

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

   

Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

When available, we utilize quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require us to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When we determine the market for a financial instrument owned by us to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, we use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources.

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

 

Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

We consider the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (i) there are few recent transactions, (ii) price quotations are not based on current information, (iii) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (iv) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (v) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with our estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (vi) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (vii) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (viii) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market).

We consider the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (i) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (ii) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (iii) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (iv) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This update provides amendments to the ASC for the fair value measurement of liabilities. In circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, the reporting entity is required to measure fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. These amendments to the ASC are effective upon issuance and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Subsequent Events

We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were issued on November 11, 2009.

Status of the Offering

We commenced our ongoing initial public offering of 280,000,000 shares of common stock on April 22, 2008. As of November 4, 2009, we had sold 84,745,356 shares of common stock in the offering for gross offering proceeds of $844.4 million, including 1,908,978 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $18.1 million.

Distributions Paid

On October 15, 2009, we paid distributions of $4.1 million, which related to distributions declared for each day in the period from September 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009.

Distributions Declared

On October 23, 2009, our board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from November 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009, which we expect to pay in December 2009. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through our dividend reinvestment plan.

Distributions for these periods will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during these periods at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day and equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 6.5% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We are also exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of the acquisition and origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and the acquisition of real estate securities. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We have managed and will continue to manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. In addition, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.

We borrow funds and make investments at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt or fixed rate real estate loans receivable unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. At September 30, 2009, the fair value and carrying value of our fixed rate real estate loans receivable were $170.7 million and $129.3 million, respectively. The fair value estimate of our real estate loans receivable is estimated using an internal valuation model that considers the expected cash flows for the loans, underlying collateral values (for collateral-dependent loans) and the estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. At September 30, 2009, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $91.6 million and the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $93.9 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated at September 30, 2009. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.

Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt, loans receivable and real estate securities would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. At September 30, 2009, we did not own any floating rate loans receivable but were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $31.3 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Certain of our variable rate debt outstanding is subject to interest rate floors, whereby an increase or decrease in interest rates may have no impact on our future earnings and cash flows. Based on interest rates as of September 30, 2009, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher during the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, interest expense on our variable rate debt outstanding would increase by $0.3 million and if interest rates were 100 basis points lower during the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, interest expense on our variable rate debt outstanding would decrease by $0.1 million. Based on interest rates as of September 30, 2009, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, income from our real estate securities would be increased or decreased by $0.1 million.

The weighted-average annual effective interest rate of our fixed rate real estate loans receivable at September 30, 2009 was 13.9%. The weighted-average annual effective interest rate represents the effective interest rate at September 30, 2009, using the interest method, that we use to recognize interest income on our real estate loans receivable. The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt at September 30, 2009 were 5.9% and 4.1%, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at September 30, 2009 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate floors), using interest rate indices as of September 30, 2009 where applicable.

Please see the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC and the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

  a) During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

  b) On April 22, 2008, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-146341), covering a public offering of up to 280,000,000 shares of common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. We commenced our initial public offering on April 22, 2008 upon retaining KBS Capital Markets Group LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, as the dealer manager of our offering. We are offering 200,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering at an aggregate offering price of up to $2.0 billion, or $10.00 per share with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. The 80,000,000 shares offered under our dividend reinvestment plan are initially being offered at an aggregate offering price of $760 million, or $9.50 per share. We expect to sell the shares registered in our primary offering over a two-year period. Under rules promulgated by the SEC, in some instances we may extend the primary offering beyond that date. We may sell shares under the dividend reinvestment plan beyond the termination of the primary offering until we have sold all the shares under the plan.

As of September 30, 2009, we had sold 79,194,023 shares of common stock for gross offering proceeds of $789.3 million, including 1,668,755 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $15.9 million. Also as of September 30, 2009, we had redeemed 161,275 of the shares sold in the offering for $1.6 million pursuant to our share redemption program. As of September 30, 2009, we had incurred selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs in the amounts set forth below (in thousands). The dealer manager reallowed all of the selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers.

   $ 82,602   
         

From the commencement of our ongoing initial public offering through September 30, 2009, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting the total expenses incurred as described above, were approximately $706.7 million, including net offering proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan of $15.9 million.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. We may use the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program; capital expenditures; tenant improvement costs and other funding obligations. As of September 30, 2009, we have used the net proceeds from our ongoing primary public offering and debt financing to purchase $680.7 million in real estate and real estate-related investments, including $12.3 million of acquisition and origination fees and expenses.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)

 

  c) We have adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances.

Pursuant to the share redemption program, as amended to date, there are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:

 

   

Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” (as defined under the share redemption program) or “determination of incompetence” (as defined under the share redemption program), we may not redeem shares until the stockholder has held his or her shares for one year.

 

   

The share redemption program limits the number of shares we may redeem to those that we could purchase with the amount of the net proceeds from the issuance of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year.

 

   

During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.

 

   

We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.

We may amend, suspend or terminate the program upon 30 days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide this notice by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or by a separate mailing to our stockholders.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we redeemed shares pursuant to our share redemption program as follows:

(1)

We announced adoption and commencement of the program on April 8, 2008 and an amendment to the program on May 13, 2009 (which amendment became effective on June 12, 2009).

(2)

Pursuant to the program, as amended, we currently redeem shares as follows:

 

   

The lower of $9.25 or 92.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least one year;

 

   

The lower of $9.50 or 95.0% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least two years;

 

   

The lower of $9.75 or 97.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least three years;

 

   

The lower of $10.00 or 100% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least four years; and

 

   

Notwithstanding the above, upon the death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” of a stockholder, the redemption price would be the amount paid to acquire the shares from us.

Notwithstanding the above, once we establish an estimated value per share of common stock, the redemption price per share for all stockholders will be equal to the estimated value per share, as determined by our advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. The share redemption program document states that we expect to establish an estimated value per share no later than three years after the completion of our offering stage; however, to assist broker-dealers who sell shares in our ongoing public offering meet their regulatory obligations, we currently expect to establish an estimated value per share no later than the expiration of the first 18-month period in which we do not sell shares in an equity offering. “Offering” for this purpose could include a public or private offering of equity securities but does not include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to a dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in the Operating Partnership.

(3)

We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program as described above. As of the October 30, 2009 redemption date, we had redeemed the number of shares that we could purchase with the amount of the net proceeds from the issuance of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan in 2008. In January 2010, this limitation will be re-set, and we will be able to redeem the number of shares that we could purchase with the amount of the net proceeds from the issuance of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan in 2009.
