CORNERSTONE CORE PROPERTIES REIT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2010

UNAUDITED
 
1.
Organization

Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc., a Maryland Corporation, was formed on October 22, 2004 under the General Corporation Law of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial real estate.  As used in this report, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries except where the context otherwise requires. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed pursuant to an advisory agreement by an affiliate, Cornerstone Realty Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on November 30, 2004 (the “Advisor”).

Cornerstone Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) was formed on November 30, 2004.  At June 30, 2010, we owned a 99.88% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership while the Advisor owned a 0.12% limited partnership interest.  We anticipate that we will conduct all or a portion of our operations through the Operating Partnership. Our financial statements and the financial statements of the Operating Partnership are consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.
Public Offerings

On January 6, 2006, we commenced an initial public offering of up to 55,400,000 shares of our common stock, consisting of 44,400,000 shares for sale pursuant to a primary offering and 11,000,000 shares for sale pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.  We stopped making offers under our initial public offering on June 1, 2009 upon raising gross offering proceeds of approximately $172.7 million from the sale of approximately 21.7 million shares, including shares sold under the distribution reinvestment plan.  On June 10, 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared our follow-on offering effective and we commenced a follow-on offering of up to 77,350,000 shares of our common stock, consisting of 56,250,000 shares for sale pursuant to a primary offering and 21,100,000 shares for sale pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.

We retained Pacific Cornerstone Capital, Inc. (“PCC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, to serve as our dealer manager for our offerings.  PCC is responsible for marketing our shares being offered pursuant to the offerings. We used the net proceeds from our initial public offering to invest primarily in investment real estate including multi-tenant industrial real estate located in major metropolitan markets in the United States.  We intend to use the net proceeds from our follow-on offering to pay down temporary acquisition financing on our existing assets and to acquire additional real estate investments. As of June 30, 2010, a total of 20.9 million shares of our common stock had been sold in both offerings for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $167.0 million, excluding approximately 2.0 million shares that were issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan and approximately 1.6 million shares issued in connection with the special 10% stock dividend related to our initial public offering, reduced by approximately 1.7 million shares pursuant to our stock repurchase program.

3.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base these estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates form the basis for our judgments concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We periodically evaluate these estimates and judgments based on available information and experience. Actual results could differ from our estimates under different assumptions and conditions. If actual results significantly differ from our estimates, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. For more information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates please refer to "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by our management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of our management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825-10, Financial Instruments, requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value.
 
We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices in active markets when such information is available or using appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow.
 
Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, note receivable from related party, tenant and other receivables, other assets, deferred costs and deposits, deferred financing costs, payable to related parties, prepaid rent, security deposits and deferred revenue, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and distributions payable.  We consider the carrying values to approximate fair value for these financial instruments because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected payment. The fair value of the note payable to related party is not determinable due to the related party nature of the note payable.
 
The fair value of notes payable is estimated using lending rates available to us for financial instruments with similar terms and maturities. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of notes payable was approximately $38.9 million, compared to the carrying value of approximately $38.8 million and $38.9 million, respectively.

The fair value of note receivable is estimated using current rates at which management believes similar loans would be made with similar terms and maturities. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of notes payable was approximately $3.4 million and $3.0 million, compared to the carrying value of approximately $3.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), which was primarily codified into ASC Topic 810 Consolidations.  The new guidance impacts the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and among other things requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE, continuous assessments of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and enhanced disclosures about a company’s involvement with a VIE. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2010 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-02, Consolidation – Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – A Scope Clarification, to address implementation issues associated with the accounting for decreases in the ownership of a subsidiary.  The new guidance clarified the scope of the entities covered by the guidance related to accounting for decreases in the ownership of a subsidiary and specifically excluded in-substance real estate or conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights from the scope.  Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures required for a business combination achieved in stages and deconsolidation of a business or nonprofit activity.  The new guidance became effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 31, 2009 and must be applied on a retrospective basis to the first period that an entity adopted the new guidance related to noncontrolling interests.  We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2010 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Topic 820 to require additional disclosure and clarify existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 requires entities to provide fair value disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, which may be a subset of assets and liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. The additional requirements also include disclosure regarding the amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of items within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The guidance clarifies existing disclosure requirements regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2010-06 on January 1, 2010, which only applies to our disclosures on the fair value of financial instruments. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on our footnote disclosures.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events: Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (amendments to ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events).  ASU 2010-09 clarifies that subsequent events should be evaluated through the date the financial statements are issued. In addition, this update no longer requires a filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued subsequent to February 24, 2010. We adopted this guidance on February 24, 2010 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
 
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The new disclosure guidance will significantly expand the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into a company’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements. The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period will become effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending at December 31, 2010. Specific items regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance rollforward and modification disclosures, will be required for periods beginning after December 31, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2010-20 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation expense associated with buildings and improvements and site improvements for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $730,000 and $740,000, respectively.  Depreciation expense associated with buildings and improvements and site improvements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,456,000 and $1,478,000 respectively.  

Net amortization expense associated with the lease intangible assets and liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $79,000 and $110,000, respectively.  Net amortization expense associated with the lease intangible assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $165,000 and $276,000, respectively.  Estimated net amortization expense for July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 and each of the  subsequent years is as follows:

The estimated useful lives for lease intangibles range from approximately one month to nine years.  As of June 30, 2010, the weighted-average amortization period for in-place leases, acquired above market leases and acquired below market leases were 4.1 years, 4.8 years and 3.5 years, respectively.

Leasing Commissions

Leasing commissions are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term.  As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had recorded approximately $492,000 and $466,000 in leasing commissions, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $29,000 and $32,000, respectively.  Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $56,000 and $70,000, respectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $390,000 and $491,000 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

6.
Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments.  Cash is generally invested in government backed securities and investment-grade short-term instruments and the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer is limited.  Currently, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, generally insures amounts up to $250,000 per depositor per insured bank, which is scheduled to be reduced to $100,000 after December 31, 2013.  As of June 30, 2010, we had cash accounts in excess of FDIC insured limits.

As of June 30, 2010, we owned three properties in the state of California, three properties in the state of Arizona and six properties in the state of Florida.  Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to fluctuations in each State’s economy.

7.
Notes Receivable

In May 2008, we agreed to loan up to $10.0 million at a rate of 10% per year to two real estate operating companies, Servant Investments, LLC and Servant Healthcare Investments, LLC (collectively, “Servant”). In May 2010, the loan commitments were reduced to $8.75 million.  The loans mature on May 19, 2013.  Servant is party to an alliance with the managing member of our Advisor.  As of June 30, 2010, our aggregate advances to Servant under the loan commitment were approximately $8.1 million.  On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the collectability of our notes receivable.  Our evaluation of collectability involves judgment, estimates and a review of the Servant business plans and their operating projections.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we concluded that the collectability of one note cannot be reasonably assured and therefore, we recorded a note receivable reserve of approximately $4.6 million against the balance of that note. The amount of this reserve has been included in our consolidated statements of operations under impairment of note receivable, which was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the impaired notes receivable had a zero balance.  It is our policy to recognize interest income on reserved loan advances on a cash basis.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, interest income related to the impaired note receivable was $121,000 and $86,000, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, interest income related to the impaired note receivable was $322,000 and $152,000, respectively.  As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the other note receivable had a balance of $3.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively.  Interest income related to the other note receivable for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, was $82,000 and $49,000, respectively.  Interest income related to the other note receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, was $157,000 and $88,000, respectively.

8.
Note Receivable from Related Party

On January 22, 2009, we made a $14.0 million acquisition bridge loan to Caruth Haven L.P, a Delaware limited partnership that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cornerstone Healthcare Plus REIT, Inc., a publicly offered, non-traded REIT sponsored by affiliates of our sponsor, Cornerstone Realty Advisors, LLC. The loan was to mature on January 21, 2010 subject to the borrower's right to repay the loan, in whole or in part, on or before January 21, 2010 without incurring any prepayment penalty.  On December 16, 2009, Caruth Haven L.P. repaid the full loan amount.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 interest income from this note receivable was approximately $0 million and $221,000, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 interest income from this note receivable was approximately $0 million and $391,000, respectively.

On December 14, 2009, we made a participating first mortgage loan commitment of $8.0 million to Nantucket Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company managed by Cornerstone Ventures Inc., an affiliate of our Advisor, in connection with Nantucket Acquisition’s purchase of a 60-unit senior living community known as Sherburne Commons located on the island of Nantucket, MA.  The loan matures on January 1, 2015, with no option to extend and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% for the term of the loan.  Interest is to be paid monthly with principal due at maturity.  Under the terms of the loan, we are entitled to receive additional interest in the form of a 40% participation in the "shared appreciation" of the property, at loan maturity, calculated based on the net sales proceeds if the property is sold, or the property's appraised value, less ordinary disposition costs, if the property has not been sold by the time the loan matures. Prepayment of the loan is not permitted without our consent and the loan is not assumable. As of June 30, 2010, the loan balance was approximately $7.9 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, interest income from this mortgage loan commitment was approximately $156,000 and $0 million, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, interest income from this mortgage loan commitment was approximately $300,000 and $0 million, respectively.
 
11

 
Nantucket Acquisition LLC is considered a variable interest entity because the equity owners of the Nantucket Acquisition LLC do not have sufficient equity at risk, and our mortgage loan commitment was determined to be a variable interest.  We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE since we do not have the power to direct the activities of this VIE.  
 
9.
Payable to Related Parties

Payable to related parties at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consists of offering costs, acquisition fees, and expense reimbursement payable and sales commissions and dealer manager fees incurred to the Advisor and PCC.
 
10.
Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock
 
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 290,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.  As of June 30, 2010, we had sold approximately 20.9 million shares of common stock for total gross proceeds of approximately $167.0 million.  As of December 31, 2009, we had sold approximately 20.8 million shares of common stock for a total of approximately $165.9 million of gross proceeds.

Distributions

We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that allows our stockholders to have dividends and other distributions otherwise distributable to them invested in additional shares of our common stock.  We have registered 21,100,000 shares of our common stock for sale pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan in connection with our follow-on offering.  The purchase price per share is 95% of the price paid by the purchaser for our common stock, but not less than $7.60 per share.  As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately 2.0 million and 1.6 million shares, respectively, had been issued under the distribution reinvestment plan.

The following are the distributions declared during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Distributions declared represented a return of capital for tax purposes. In order to meet the requirements for being treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must pay distributions to our shareholders each taxable year equal to at least 90% of our net ordinary taxable income.  Some of our distributions have been paid from sources other than operating cash flow, such as offering proceeds.  Until proceeds from our offering are fully invested and generating operating cash flow sufficient to fully cover distributions to stockholders, we intend to pay a portion of our distributions from the proceeds of our offering or from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow.

The declaration of distributions is at the discretion of our board of directors and our board will determine the amount of distributions on a regular basis.  The amount of distributions will depend on our funds from operations, financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.  We may amend or terminate the distribution reinvestment plan for any reason at any time upon 10 days prior written notice to participants.

Special 10% Stock Distribution

Our board of directors authorized a special 10% stock distribution to be paid to the stockholders of record on the date that we raised the first $125.0 million in our initial public offering, which was achieved on July 23, 2008. All stockholders of record on July 23, 2008 received one additional share of stock for every 10 shares of stock they owned as of that date.  For the purpose of calculating the stock repurchase price for shares received as part of the special 10% stock distribution declared in July 2008, the purchase price of such shares will be deemed to be equal to the purchase price paid by the stockholder for shares held by the stockholder immediately prior to the special 10% stock distribution.

Stock Repurchase Program

We have adopted a stock repurchase program for investors who have held their shares for at least one year, unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death.  Under our current stock repurchase program, the repurchase price will vary depending on the purchase price paid by the stockholder and the number of years the shares are held.  Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the program at any time on 30 days prior notice to stockholders. We have no obligation to repurchase our stockholders’ shares.  Until September 21, 2012 our stock repurchase program limits the number of shares of stock we can redeem (other than redemptions due to death of a stockholder) to those that we can purchase with net proceeds from the sale of stock under our distribution reinvestment plan in the prior calendar year. Until September 21, 2012 we do not intend to redeem more than the lesser of (i) the number of shares that could be redeemed using the proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan in the prior calendar year or (ii) 5% of the number of shares outstanding at the end of the prior calendar year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we redeemed shares pursuant to our stock repurchase program as follows:

As of June 30, 2010, we have met the threshold of available distribution reinvestment plan proceeds, accordingly, we do not expect to make further ordinary redemptions for the remainder of 2010.

Our board of directors may modify our stock repurchase program so that we can redeem stock using the proceeds from the sale of our real estate investments or other sources.

Employee and Director Incentive Stock Plan

We have adopted an Employee and Director Incentive Stock Plan (“the Plan”) which provides for the grant of awards to our directors and full-time employees, as well as other eligible participants that provide services to us.  We have no employees, and we do not intend to grant awards under the Plan to persons who are not directors of ours.  Awards granted under the Plan may consist of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, share appreciation rights, and distribution equivalent rights.  The term of the Plan is 10 years.  The total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan is equal to 10% of our outstanding shares of stock at any time.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of, FASB ASC 718-10, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. On August 6, 2008 and August 8, 2007, we granted our non-employee directors nonqualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 20,000 and 20,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $8.00 per share.  Of these options, 15,000 lapsed on November 8, 2008 due to the resignation of one director from the board of directors on August 6, 2008.  Outstanding stock options became immediately exercisable in full on the grant date, expire in ten years after the grant date, and have no intrinsic value as of June 30, 2010.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we did not incur any non-cash compensation expenses.  No stock options were exercised or canceled during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. In connection with the registration of the shares in our follow-on offering, we have suspended the issuance of options to our independent directors under the Plan, and we do not expect to issue additional options to our independent directors until we cease offering shares pursuant to our offering.

Related Party Transactions
 
Our Company has no employees. The Advisor is primarily responsible for managing our business affairs and carrying out the directives of our board of directors.  We have an advisory agreement with the Advisor and a dealer manager agreement with PCC which entitle the Advisor and PCC to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to our offerings and investment of funds in real estate projects, among other services, as well as reimbursement for organizational and offering costs incurred by the Advisor and PCC on our behalf and reimbursement of certain costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing services to us.

Advisory Agreement

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, the Advisor will use commercially reasonable efforts to present to us investment opportunities to provide a continuing and suitable investment program consistent with the investment policies and objectives adopted by our board of directors.  The advisory agreement calls for the Advisor to provide for our day-to-day management and to retain property managers and leasing agents, subject to the authority of our board of directors, and to perform other duties.

The fees and expense reimbursements payable to the Advisor under the advisory agreement are described below.

Organizational and Offering Costs.  Organizational and offering costs of our offerings are being paid by the Advisor on our behalf and will be reimbursed to the Advisor from the proceeds of our offerings. Organizational and offering costs consist of all expenses (other than sales commissions and the dealer manager fee) to be paid by us in connection with our offerings, including our legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, charges of our escrow holder and other accountable offering expenses, including, but not limited to, (i) amounts to reimburse the Advisor for all marketing related costs and expenses such as salaries and direct expenses of employees of the Advisor and its affiliates in connection with registering and marketing our shares (ii) technology costs associated with our offering of our shares; (iii) our costs of conducting our training and education meetings; (iv) our costs of attending retail seminars conducted by participating broker-dealers; and (v) payment or reimbursement of bona fide due diligence expenses.  In no event will we have any obligation to reimburse the Advisor for organizational and offering costs totaling in excess of 3.5% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering and follow-on offering.

As of June 30, 2010, the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred on our behalf organizational and offering costs totaling approximately $5.4 million, including approximately $0.1 million of organizational costs that was expensed and approximately $5.3 million of offering costs which reduce net proceeds of our offerings.  Of this amount, $4.5 million reduced the net proceeds of our initial public offering and $0.9 million reduced the net proceeds of our follow-on offering. As of December 31, 2009, the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred on our behalf organizational and offering costs totaling approximately $5.2 million, including approximately $0.1 million of organizational costs that have been expensed and approximately $5.1 million of offering costs which reduced net proceeds of our offerings. Of this amount, $4.4 million reduced the net proceeds of our initial public offering and $0.7 million reduced the net proceeds of our follow-on offering.
 
14

 
Acquisition Fees and Expenses.  The advisory agreement requires us to pay the Advisor acquisition fees in an amount equal to 2% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering.  We will pay the acquisition fees upon receipt of the gross proceeds from our primary offering.  However, if the advisory agreement is terminated or not renewed, the Advisor must return acquisition fees not yet allocated to one of our investments.  In addition, we are required to reimburse the Advisor for direct costs the Advisor incurs and amounts the Advisor pays to third parties in connection with the selection and acquisition of a property, whether or not ultimately acquired.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Advisor earned approximately $8,000 and $0.2 million of acquisition fees, respectively, which had been expensed as incurred in accordance with our adoption of FASB ASC 805-10 effective January 1, 2009.   For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Advisor earned approximately $21,000 and $0.3 million of acquisition fees, respectively, which had been expensed as incurred in accordance with our adoption of FASB ASC 805-10 effective January 1, 2009.  

Management Fees.  The advisory agreement requires us to pay the Advisor a monthly asset management fee of one-twelfth of 1.0% of the sum of the aggregate book basis carrying values of our assets invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in and loans secured by real estate before reserves for depreciation or bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves, calculated in accordance with GAAP.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Advisor earned $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively of asset management fees, which were expensed and included in asset management fees in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Advisor earned $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively of asset management fees, which were expensed and included in asset management fees in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.  In addition, we reimburse the Advisor for the direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing asset management services to us, including personnel and related employment costs related to providing asset management services on our behalf.  These fees and expenses are in addition to management fees that we pay to third party property managers.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Advisor was reimbursed $42,000 and $0, respectively, of such direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred on our behalf, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.   For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Advisor was reimbursed $80,000 and $0, respectively, of such direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred on our behalf, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Operating Expenses. The advisory agreement provides for reimbursement of the Advisor’s direct and indirect costs of providing administrative and management services to us.   For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, $0.3 million and $0.1 million of such costs, respectively, were reimbursed and included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.   For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, $0.5 million and $0.3 million of such costs, respectively, were reimbursed and included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.  The Advisor must pay or reimburse us the amount by which our aggregate annual operating expenses exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income unless a majority of our independent directors determine that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors.

Disposition Fee.  The advisory agreement provides that if the Advisor or its affiliate provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors) in connection with the sale of one or more properties, we will pay the Advisor or such affiliate shall receive at closing a disposition fee up to 3% of the sales price of such property or properties.  This disposition fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions (including such disposition fee) paid to all persons by us for each property shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the aggregate contract sales price of each property or (ii) the competitive real estate commission for each property.  We will pay the disposition fees for a property at the time the property is sold.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we did not incur any of such fees.
  
Subordinated Participation Provisions.  The Advisor is entitled to receive a subordinated participation upon the sale of our properties, listing of our common stock or termination of the Advisor, as follows:

 
·
After stockholders have received cumulative distributions equal to $8.00 per share (less any returns of capital) plus cumulative, non-compounded annual returns on net invested capital, the Advisor will be paid a subordinated participation in net sale proceeds ranging from a low of 5% of net sales provided investors have earned annualized returns of 6% to a high of 15% of net sales proceeds if investors have earned annualized returns of 10% or more.
 
15

 
 
·
Upon termination of the advisory agreement, the Advisor will receive the subordinated performance fee due upon termination.  This fee ranges from a low of 5% of the amount by which the sum of the appraised value of our assets minus our liabilities on the date the advisory agreement is terminated plus total distributions (other than stock distributions) paid prior to termination of the advisory agreement exceeds the amount of invested capital plus annualized returns of 6%, to a high of 15% of the amount by which the sum of the appraised value of our assets minus its liabilities plus all prior distributions (other than stock distributions) exceeds the amount of invested capital plus annualized returns of 10% or more.

 
·
In the event we list our stock for trading, the Advisor will receive a subordinated incentive listing fee instead of a subordinated participation in net sales proceeds.  This fee ranges from a low of 5% of the amount by which the market value of our common stock plus all prior distributions (other than stock distributions) exceeds the amount of invested capital plus annualized returns of 6%, to a high of 15% of the amount by which the sum of the market value of our stock plus all prior distributions (other than stock distributions) exceeds the amount of invested capital plus annualized returns of 10% or more.

Dealer Manager Agreement

PCC, as dealer manager, is entitled to receive a sales commission of up to 7% of gross proceeds from sales in our primary offerings.  PCC, as dealer manager, is also entitled to receive a dealer manager fee equal to up to 3% of gross proceeds from sales in our primary offerings.  The dealer manager is also entitled to receive a reimbursement of bona fide due diligence expenses up to 0.5% of the gross proceeds from sales in our primary offerings.  The advisory agreement requires the Advisor to reimburse us to the extent that offering expenses including sales commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and offering expenses (but excluding acquisition fees and acquisition expenses discussed above) in excess of 13.5% of gross proceeds from our offerings.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, our dealer manager earned sales commissions and dealer manager fees of approximately $40,000 and $0.8 million, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, our dealer manager earned sales commissions and dealer manager fees of approximately $93,000 and $1.6 million, respectively. Dealer manager fees and sales commissions paid to PCC are a cost of capital raised and, as such, are included as a reduction of additional paid in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Notes Payable

On June 30, 2006, we entered into a credit agreement with HSH Nordbank AG, New York Branch, for a temporary credit facility that we will use during our offering period to facilitate our acquisitions of properties in anticipation of the receipt of offering proceeds.  As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had net borrowings of approximately $15.9 million, under the credit agreement.

On June 30, 2010, we amended the June 30, 2006 credit agreement with HSH Nordbank AG, New York Branch, which extended the credit facility maturity date to August 31, 2010.

The credit agreement, as amended, permits us to borrow up to $15.9 million secured by real properties at a borrowing rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 115 to 135 basis points and requires payment of a usage premium of up to 15 basis points and an annual administrative fee.   We are entitled to prepay the borrowings under the credit facility at any time without penalty.  This credit agreement will mature on August 31, 2010. The repayment of obligations under the credit agreement may be accelerated in the event of a default, as defined in the credit agreement. The facility contains various covenants including financial covenants with respect to consolidated interest and fixed charge coverage and secured debt to secured asset value.  As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $57,000 and $63, 000 of interest expense, respectively, related to the credit agreement.   During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $111,000 and $127,000  of interest expense, respectively, related to the credit agreement.

On November 13, 2007, we entered into a loan agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association to facilitate the acquisition of properties during our offering period.  Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, we may borrow $22.4 million at an interest rate of 140 basis points over 30-day LIBOR, secured by specified real estate properties.  The loan agreement has a maturity date of November 13, 2010, and may be prepaid without penalty.  The entire $22.4 million available under the terms of the loan was used to finance an acquisition of properties that closed on November 15, 2007.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $69,000 and $100,000 of interest expense, respectively, related to the loan agreement.   During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $133,000 and $205,000 of interest expense, respectively, related to the loan agreement.   As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had net borrowings of approximately $15.9 million, under the credit agreement.

Our HSH Nordbank credit facility will mature on August 31, 2010 and our loan from Wachovia Bank will mature on November 13, 2010. We anticipate repaying our existing debt obligations with cash on hand and the proceeds from (1) new credit facilities, (2) asset financing and/or (3) sale of real estate assets. We have received a term sheet from a financial institution to refinance the current loan from HSH Nordbank, and anticipate extending the HSH Nordbank loan until the refinancing closes.  In addition, we are implementing a plan to repay the Wachovia loan that matures in November 2010, from proceeds of refinancing, the sale of real estate assets, or a combination of the both.   Management believes that there is sufficient liquidity available to the Company to be able to meet all debt obligations and continue to fund ongoing operations. However, given the continued weakness of the retail and credit markets, there can be no assurance that we can obtain such refinancing or additional capital on satisfactory terms, and we could be required to consider additional assets sales or less attractive sources of capital for refinancing.
 
In connection with our acquisition of Monroe North CommerCenter, on April 17, 2008, we entered into an assumption and amendment of note, mortgage and other loan documents (the “Loan Assumption Agreement”) with Transamerica Life Insurance Company (“Transamerica”).  Pursuant to the Loan Assumption Agreement, we assumed the outstanding principal balance of approximately $7.4 million on the Transamerica mortgage loan.  The loan matures on November 1, 2014 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.89% per annum.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $103,000 and $106,000 of interest expense, respectively, related to this loan agreement.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $207,000 and $212,000 of interest expense, respectively, related to this loan agreement.  As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had net borrowings of approximately $7.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively, under the Loan Assumption Agreement.
 
The principal payments due on Monroe North CommerCenter mortgage loan for July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and each of the subsequent years is as follows:

In connection with our notes payable, we had incurred financing costs totaling approximately $1.6 million and $1.6 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  These financing costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the agreements.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, $53,000 and $64,000, respectively, of deferred financing costs were amortized and included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.   For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, $105, 000 and $128,000, respectively, of deferred financing costs were amortized and included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Consistent with our borrowing policies, during our offering period, we will borrow periodically to acquire properties and for working capital.  We will determine whether to use the proceeds of our offerings to repay amounts borrowed under the credit agreement and loan agreements depending on a number of factors, including the investments that are available to us for purchase at the time and the cost of the credit facility.  Following the closing of our offering period, we will endeavor to repay all amounts owing under the credit agreement and loan agreements or that are secured by our properties and which have not previously been paid.  To the extent sufficient proceeds from our offering are unavailable to repay the indebtedness secured by properties within a reasonable time following the closing of our offering period as determined by our board of directors, we may sell properties or raise equity capital to repay the secured debt, so that we will own our properties with no permanent acquisition financing.

13.
Commitments and Contingencies

In May 2008, we committed to fund up to $5.0 million to Servant Healthcare Investments LLC and Servant Investments LLC, two entities that are parties to an alliance agreement with the managing member of our Advisor.  On January 22, 2009, our board of directors increased our commitment to loan funds up to $10.0 million. On May 10, 2010, this commitment was reduced to $8.75 million. As of June 30, 2010, we had funded approximately $8.1 million pursuant to this commitment.

On December 14, 2009, we made a participating first mortgage loan commitment of $8.0 million to Nantucket Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company managed by Cornerstone Ventures Inc., an affiliate of our Advisor, in connection with Nantucket Acquisition’s purchase of a 60-unit senior living community known as Sherburne Commons located on the exclusive island of Nantucket, MA.  As of June 30, 2010, we had funded approximately $7.9 million pursuant to this commitment.
 
17

 
We monitor our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances.  While there can be no assurance that a material environment liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.
 
Our commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of real estate owners and operators in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, these matters are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. We are not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, any material litigation threatened against us which if determined unfavorably to us would have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

Subsequent Event

Real Estate Acquisition

On August 5, 2010, we purchased 1830 Santa Fe, a 13,200 square foot industrial property located in Santa Ana, CA from Mr. Charles F. Pribus and Suffolk Holding Company, two non-related parties for a purchase price of approximately $1.3 million, plus closing costs which are not fully determinable at this time.  The building is 100% leased and located in a planned industrial area of Santa Ana, CA. The acquisition was purchased with no debt financing.

Sale of Shares of Common Stock

As of August 13, 2010, we had raised approximately $167.0 million through the issuance of approximately 20.9 million shares of our common stock under our initial public offering and follow-on offering, excluding approximately 2.1 million shares that were issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan and approximately 1.6 million shares issued in connection with the special 10% stock dividend related to our initial public offering, reduced by approximately 1.7 million shares redeemed pursuant to our stock repurchase program.

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

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.

This section contains forward-looking statements, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based.  These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.  Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A herein and Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Overview

Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed on October 22, 2004 under the General Corporation Law of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial real estate.  As used in this report, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries except where the context otherwise requires. We have no paid employees and are externally managed pursuant to an advisory agreement by an affiliate, Cornerstone Realty Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on November 30, 2004 (the “Advisor”).
 
18

 
Cornerstone Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) was formed on November 30, 2004.  At June 30, 2010, we owned 99.88% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership while the Advisor owned a 0.12 % limited partnership interest.  We anticipate that we will conduct all or a portion of our operations through the Operating Partnership.  Our financial statements and the financial statements of the Operating Partnership are consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On January 6, 2006, we commenced an initial public offering of up to 55,400,000 shares of our common stock, consisting of 44,400,000 shares for sale pursuant to a primary offering and 11,000,000 shares for sale pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.  We stopped making offers under our initial public offering on June 1, 2009 upon raising gross offering proceeds of approximately $172.7 million from the sale of approximately 21.7 million shares, including shares sold under the distribution reinvestment plan.  On June 10, 2009, we commenced a follow-on offering of up to 77,350,000 shares of our common stock, consisting of 56,250,000 shares for sale pursuant to a primary offering and 21,100,000 shares for sale pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.  We retained Pacific Cornerstone Capital, Inc. (“PCC”), an affiliate of the Advisor, to serve as the dealer manager for our offerings.  PCC is responsible for marketing our shares currently being offered pursuant to the follow-on offering.

We used the net proceeds from our initial public offering to invest primarily in investment real estate including multi-tenant industrial real estate located in major metropolitan markets in the United States.  We intend to use the net proceeds from our follow-on offering to pay down temporary acquisition financing on our existing assets and to acquire additional real estate investments.

As of June 30, 2010, we had raised approximately $167.0 million of gross proceeds from the sale of approximately 20.9 million shares of our common stock in our initial public offering and follow-on offering and had acquired twelve properties.

Our revenues, which are comprised largely of rental income, include rents reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to increase rental income and other earned income from leases by increasing rental rates and occupancy levels and control operating and other expenses. Our operations are impacted by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions.
 
Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets

In recent years, both the national and most global economies have experienced substantially increased unemployment and a downturn in economic activity. Despite certain recent positive economic indicators and improved stock market performance, the aforementioned conditions, combined with low consumer confidence, have resulted in an unprecedented global recession and continue to contribute to a challenging economic environment that may delay 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 experienced deteriorating fundamentals across all major property types and most geographic markets. Tenant defaults have risen, while demand for commercial real estate space is contracting, resulting in a highly competitive leasing environment, downward pressure on both occupancy and rental rates, and an increase in leasing incentives. Mortgage delinquencies and defaults have trended upward, with many industry analysts predicting the continuation of significant credit defaults, foreclosures and principal losses.
 
From a financing perspective, the severe dislocations and liquidity disruptions in the credit markets have impacted both the cost and availability of commercial real estate debt. The commercial mortgage-backed securities market, formerly a significant source of liquidity and debt capital, has become 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 and mitigate the risk of overconcentration in certain borrowers.

The factors discussed above have translated into declining real estate values and a corresponding rise in required investment returns and capitalization rates. Overall transaction activity has slowly increased during the last two quarters as the gap between “ask” and “bid” has contracted; however, the volume is well below that of two years ago.

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.
 
19

 
The market conditions that have and will likely continue to have a significant impact on our real estate investments have also negatively impacted our tenants’ businesses. As a result, our tenants are finding it more difficult to meet current lease obligations and forcing them to negotiate favorable lease terms upon renewal in order for their businesses to remain viable. Lower lease rates, increased rent concessions and higher occupancy have resulted in lower current cash flow. Additional declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and additional rental concessions, including free rent, would result in additional decreases in cash flows.
 
Based on these market outlooks, we may limit capital expenditures during 2010 compared to prior years by focusing on those capital expenditures that preserve value. However, if we experience an increase in vacancies, we may incur costs to re-lease properties and pay leasing commissions.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC other than as described under Note 2 to the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we expect that rental income, tenant reimbursements, operating expenses, asset management fees, depreciation, amortization, and net income will each increase in future periods as a result of assets acquired since inception and anticipation of future acquisition of real estate assets.

As of June 30, 2010, we owned twelve properties.  These properties were acquired from June of 2006 through April 2008.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements decreased to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2010 from $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2009. The decrease is primarily due to lower occupancy rates, lower lease rental rates and longer lease up periods for vacant units as a result of the current economic environment partially offset by termination payments from former tenants.

Interest income from notes receivable was comparable for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009.  Interest income from second quarter of 2010 consists of the $8.0 million participating first mortgage loan commitment which bears a fixed rate of 8%  to Nantucket Acquisition LLC while interest income from second quarter of 2009 consists of the $14.0 million mortgage loan to Caruth Haven L.P. which bears a fixed rate of 10%.
 
Property operating and maintenance expense decreased to $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2010 from $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2009. The decrease is primarily due to lower bad debt expense resulting from recovery of prior year delinquencies.

General and administrative expense increased to $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2010 from $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2009. The increase is primarily due to increased accounting and audit fees, reimbursement of administrative and management services provided by the Advisor and board of director expenses.

Asset management fees were comparable for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009.

Real estate acquisition costs decreased to $22,000 for the second quarter of 2010 from $160,000 for the second quarter of 2009.  The decrease is due to a reduction in the amount of equity raised in our public offering, resulting in reduced acquisition fee reimbursement to the Advisor.
 
20

 
Depreciation and amortization decreased to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2010 from $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2009.  The decrease is due to prior year acceleration of in-place lease amortization due to early lease terminations and prior year end real estate impairment resulting in a lower depreciation cost basis.

Interest expense decreased to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2010 from $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to a lower debt balance as a result of a $6.6 million principal reduction in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements decreased to $4.8 million in the first half of 2010 from $5.2 million in the first half of 2009. The decrease is primarily due to lower occupancy rates, lower lease rental rates and longer lease up periods for vacant units as a result of the current economic environment partially offset by termination payments from former tenants.

Interest income from notes receivable was comparable for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009.  Interest income in the first half of 2010 consists of the $8.0 million participating first mortgage loan commitment which bears a fixed rate of 8%  to Nantucket Acquisition LLC while interest income in the first half of 2009 consists of the $14.0 million mortgage loan to Caruth Haven L.P. which bears a fixed rate of 10%.

Property operating and maintenance expenses decreased to $1.3 million in the first half of 2010 from $1.7 million in the first half of 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to lower bad debt expense in 2010 resulting from recovery of prior year delinquencies and lower legal expenses associated with tenant turnover.

General and administrative expenses increased to $1.1 million in the first half of 2010 from $0.8 million for the comparable period of 2009.  The increase is primarily due to increased accounting and audit fees, reimbursement of administrative and management services provided by the Advisor and board of director expenses.

Asset management fees were comparable for six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Real estate acquisition costs decreased to $28,000 in the first half of 2010 from $332,000 in the first half of 2009.  The decrease is due to a reduction in the amount of equity raised in our public offering, resulting in reduced acquisition fee reimbursement to the Advisor.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $1.7 million from $1.8 million from the comparable period primarily due to prior year acceleration of in-place lease amortization due to early lease terminations and prior year end real estate impairment resulting in a lower depreciation cost basis.

Interest expense decreased to $0.6 million from $0.7 million for the comparable period of 2009 primarily due to lower principal debt balances on our credit agreement with HSH Nordbank and Wachovia Bank.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect that primary sources of capital over the long term will include net proceeds from the sale of our common stock and net cash flows from operations.  We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property acquisitions, for the payment of tenant improvements and leasing commissions, operating expenses, interest expense on any outstanding indebtedness, cash distributions, and for the repayment of notes payable. In addition, we will continue to use temporary debt financing to facilitate our acquisitions of properties in anticipation of receipt of offering proceeds.
 
On January 6, 2006, we commenced an initial public offering of up to 55,400,000 shares of our common stock, consisting of 44,400,000 shares for sale pursuant to a primary offering and 11,000,000 shares for sale pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.  We stopped making offers under our initial public offering on June 1, 2009.  On June 10, 2009, we commenced a follow-on offering of up to 77,350,000 shares of our common stock, consisting of 56,250,000 shares for sale pursuant to a primary offering and 21,100,000 shares for sale pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.  As of June 30, 2010, a total of approximately 20.9 million shares of our common stock had been sold in our combined offerings for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $167.0 million.

As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately $10.4 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand.
 
21

 
We anticipate repaying our existing debt obligations with cash on hand and the proceeds from (1) new credit facilities, (2) asset financing and/or (3) sale of real estate assets. We have received a term sheet from a financial institution to refinance the current loan from HSH Nordbank, and anticipate extending the HSH Nordbank loan until the refinancing closes.  In addition, we are implementing a plan to repay the Wachovia loan that matures in November 2010, from proceeds of refinancing, the sale of real estate assets, or a combination of the both.   Management believes that there is sufficient liquidity available to the Company to be able to meet all debt obligations and continue to fund ongoing operations. However, given the continued weakness of the retail and credit markets, there can be no assurance that we can obtain such refinancing or additional capital on satisfactory terms, and we could be required to consider additional assets sales or less attractive sources of capital for refinancing.

There may be a delay between the sale of our shares and the purchase of properties.  During this period, net offering proceeds will be temporarily invested in short-term, liquid investments that could yield lower returns than investments in real estate.

Until proceeds from our offerings are invested and generating operating cash flow sufficient to make distributions to stockholders, we intend to pay a portion of our distributions from the proceeds of our offering or from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, cash distributions to stockholders were paid from a combination of cash flow from operations and net proceeds raised from our offerings.

Distributions paid to stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $2.8 million. Of this amount, approximately $1.5 million was reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan and approximately $1.3 million was paid in cash to stockholders. Of the total cash distributions paid for the three months ended June 30, 2010, 36.6% was funded from cash flow from operations and 63.4% of the total cash amount distributed was funded from proceeds from our offerings.  Distributions paid for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $5.5 million. Of this amount, approximately $3.0 million was reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan and approximately $2.5 million was paid in cash to stockholders.  Of the total cash distributions paid for the six months ended June 30, 2010, 63.1% was funded from cash flow from operations and 36.9% of the total cash amount distributed was funded from proceeds from our offerings.

As of June 30, 2010, the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred on our behalf organizational and offering costs totaling approximately $5.4 million, including approximately $0.1 million of organizational costs that was expensed and approximately $5.3 million of offering costs which reduce net proceeds of our offerings.  Of this amount, $4.5 million reduced the net proceeds of our initial public offering and $0.9 million reduced the net proceeds of our follow-on offering.

In no event will we have any obligation to reimburse the Advisor for these costs totaling in excess of 3.5% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering and follow-on public offering.  As of June 30, 2010, we had reimbursed to the Advisor a total of $4.5 million for our initial public offering and $0.9 million for our follow-on offering.
 
At times during our offering stage, the amount of organization and offering expenses that we incur, or that the Advisor and its affiliates incur on our behalf, may exceed 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds then raised, but our Advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that our organization and offering expenses exceed this 3.5% limitation at the conclusion of our offerings. In addition, the Advisor will pay all of our organization and offering expenses that, when combined with the sales commissions and dealer manager fees that we incur exceed 13.5% of the gross proceeds from our public offerings.
 
We will not rely on advances from the Advisor to acquire properties but the Advisor and its affiliates may loan funds to special purpose entities that may acquire properties on our behalf pending our raising sufficient proceeds from our public offerings to purchase the properties from the special purpose entity.

We will endeavor to repay any temporary acquisition debt financing promptly upon receipt of proceeds in our offerings.  To the extent sufficient proceeds from our offerings are unavailable to repay such debt financing within a reasonable time as determined by our board of directors, we will endeavor to raise additional equity or sell properties to repay such debt so that we will own our properties with no permanent financing. Other than the market conditions discussed above under the caption “Market Outlook—Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets”, we are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, affecting real estate generally, which we anticipate may have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from the operation of real estate properties.

Financial markets have recently experienced unusual volatility and uncertainty. Liquidity has tightened in all financial markets, including the debt and equity markets.  Our ability to fund property acquisitions or development projects, as well as our ability to repay or refinance debt maturities could be adversely affected by an inability to secure financing at reasonable terms, if at all.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

A fund from operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance.  We compute FFO in accordance with the definition outlined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) , and gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, noncontrolling interests and subsidiaries.  Our FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.  We believe that FFO is helpful to investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income.  Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate 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 alone to be insufficient.  As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance.  Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delay in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts pending investment, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses.  FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as an indication of our performance, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.  

Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP have prompted a significant increase in the amount of non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. Therefore, we use modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), which excludes from FFO acquisition expenses to further evaluate our operating performance. We believe that MFFO, like those already included in FFO, are helpful as a measure of operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities or non-operating changes. We believe that MFFO reflects the overall operating performance of our real estate portfolio, which is not immediately apparent from reported net loss. As such, we believe MFFO, in addition to net loss and cash flows from operating activities, each as defined by GAAP, is a meaningful supplemental performance measure and is useful in understanding how our management evaluates our ongoing operating performance.
 
Our calculations of FFO and MFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are presented below:

In addition, FFO and MFFO may be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from these measures, such as capital expenditures and payments of principal on debt, each of which may impact the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Our directors have authorized distributions to our stockholders at an annualized rate of 6.0% based on an $8.00 per share purchase price. Some or all of our distributions have been paid from sources other than operating cash flow, such as offering proceeds, cash advanced to us or reimbursements of expenses from the Advisor and proceeds from loans including those secured by our assets.  Given the uncertainty arising from numerous factors, including both the raising and investing of capital in the current financing environment, ultimate FFO and MFFO performance cannot be predicted with certainty.  Currently, a portion of our distributions are being paid from capital in anticipation of future cash flow from our investments. Until proceeds from our offering are invested and generating operating cash flow sufficient to make distributions to stockholders, we intend to continue to pay a portion of our distributions from the proceeds of our offering or from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow, reducing the amount of funds that would otherwise be available for investment.

(1) This represents the sum of a credit agreement with HSH Nordbank, AG and loan agreements with Wachovia Bank National Association and Transamerica Life Insurance Company.
 
 (2) Interest expense related to the credit agreement with HSH Nordbank, AG and loan agreement with Wachovia Bank National Association are calculated based on the loan balances outstanding at June 30, 2010, one month LIBOR at June 30, 2010 plus appropriate margin ranging from 1.15% and 1.40%.  Interest expense related to loan agreement with Transamerica Life Insurance Company is based on a fixed rate of 5.89% per annum.

(3) We have committed to funding $8.75 million to entities that are parties to an alliance with the managing member of the Advisor.  As of June 30, 2010, we had funded approximately $8.125 million of this commitment.

(4) On December 14, 2009, we committed to fund an $8.0 million first mortgage to a related party, an affiliate of our Advisor.  As of June 30, 2010, we had funded approximately $7.9 million of this commitment.


Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments.  We invest our cash and cash equivalents in government backed securities and FDIC insured savings account which, by its nature, are subject to interest rate fluctuations.  However, we believe that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk relating to our credit facilities.
 
24


 
Our loan agreement entered with Wachovia Bank, National Association permits us to borrow $22.4 million at an interest rate 140 basis points over 30-day LIBOR, secured by specified real estate properties.  The loan agreement will mature on November 13, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, we had a balance of approximately $15.9 million outstanding under this loan agreement. The loan may be prepaid without penalty.

As of June 30, 2010, we had borrowed approximately $31.8 million under our variable rate credit facility and loan agreement.  An increase in the variable interest rate on the facilities constitutes a market risk as a change in rates would increase or decrease interest incurred and therefore cash flows available for distribution to shareholders.  Based on the debt outstanding as of June 30, 2010, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $318,000 per year.

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in the real estate capital markets, market rental rates for office space, local, regional and national economic conditions and changes in the credit worthiness of tenants.  All of these factors may also affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

The following risk supplements the risks disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
 
We have, and may in the future, pay distributions from sources other than cash provided from operations.
 
Until proceeds from our offering are invested and generating operating cash flow sufficient to make distributions to stockholders, we intend to pay a substantial portion of our distributions from the proceeds of our offerings or from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow. To the extent that we use offering proceeds to fund distributions to stockholders, the amount of cash available for investment in properties will be reduced. The distributions paid for the four quarters ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $10.9 million.  Of this amount approximately $6.1 million was reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan and approximately $4.8 million was paid in cash to stockholders. For the four quarters ended June 30, 2010 cash flow from operations and FFO were approximately $2.6 million and a loss of $4.3 million, respectively.  Accordingly, during the four quarters ended June 30, 2010, total distributions paid in cash exceeded cash flow from operations and FFO for the same period. We used offering proceeds to pay cash distributions in excess of cash flow from operations during the fourth quarters ended June 30, 2010.

We may not be able to refinance, extend or repay our substantial indebtedness, which could have a materially adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations
 
As of June 30, 2010, we had an aggregate consolidated indebtedness outstanding of $38.8 million (Note 12which are secured by our properties. 
 
25

 
There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance or extend our debt on acceptable terms or otherwise. Our ability to refinance our debt is negatively affected by the current condition of the credit markets, which have significantly reduced levels of commercial lending.  We may not be able to refinance, extend or repay our substantial indebtedness, which could have a materially adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event that we are unable to refinance our debt on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, we will be required to take further steps to acquire the funds necessary to satisfy our short term cash needs, including additional assets sales or considering less attractive sources of capital for refinancing.
 
 
Item 2.

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

As of June 30, 2010, we have met the threshold of available distribution reinvestment plan proceeds, accordingly, we do not expect to make further ordinary redemptions for the remainder of 2010.

Until September 21, 2012 our stock repurchase program limits the number of shares of stock we can redeem (other than redemptions due to death of a stockholder) to those that we can purchase with net proceeds from the sale of stock under our distribution reinvestment plan in the prior calendar year. Until September 21, 2012 we do not intend to redeem more than the lesser of (i) the number of shares that could be redeemed using the proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan in the prior calendar year or (ii) 5% of the number of shares outstanding at the end of the prior calendar year.
