Item 1. Business

 

History

 

Our company, FSP Galleria North Corp., which individually or together with its subsidiaries, we refer to as Galleria, the Company, we or our, is a Delaware corporation formed to purchase, own and operate a sixteen-story Class “A” office tower containing approximately 379,518 rentable square feet and its associated infrastructure located on approximately 4.8 acres of land in Dallas, Texas, which we refer to as the Property. We operate in a manner intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.

 

We were organized initially in September 2004 by FSP Investments LLC (member, FINRA and SIPC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Street Properties Corp., which we refer to as Franklin Street (NYSE Amex: FSP). FSP Investments LLC, or FSP Investments, acted as a real estate investment firm and broker/dealer with respect to (a) the organization of the Company, (b) the acquisition of real estate by the Company and (c) the sale of preferred stock in the Company.

 

Franklin Street holds the sole share of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value per share, which we refer to as the Common Stock. Between December 2004 and August 2005, FSP Investments completed an offering on a best efforts basis of 860 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, $.01 par value per share, which we refer to as the Preferred Stock. We sold the Preferred Stock in a private placement offering to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. Between December 31, 2004 and August 23, 2005, the Company held 18 investor closings, at each of which shares of Preferred Stock were sold and funds were received. Funds from each individual closing were used to repay the loan from Franklin Street and associated fees as well as other expenses payable to FSP Investments. The use of proceeds received and affiliates receiving payments are set forth in the table below:

(1)The Operating/Capital Reserve proceeds were retained by the Company for operating and capital uses.
(2)Organizational, Offering and Other Expenditures were paid for various expenses, including legal, accounting, appraisal, engineering and organizational expenses allocable to the offering, incurred in connection with the organization and syndication of the Company.
(3)Selling Commissions were paid to FSP Investments LLC, as Selling Agent.
(4)The Purchase Price of the Property was financed by a first mortgage loan, which was repaid from proceeds of the offering.
(5)The Loan Fee Paid to Franklin Street was a fee (or points) payable to Franklin Street to obtain the first mortgage loan to purchase the Property in an amount of $4,945,000. The first mortgage loan had an original principal amount equal to the purchase price of the Property and a term of two years. The first mortgage loan was prepayable at any time without premium or penalty and carried an interest rate equal to the rate payable by Franklin Street on borrowings under its line of credit with its bank.
(6)The Acquisition Fee was paid to FSP Investments LLC for various expenses related to the purchase of the Property, including expenses incurred for due diligence.

 

We purchased the Property for $68,500,000 on October 14, 2004. We acquired the Property through a limited partnership, FSP Galleria North Limited Partnership, of which the Company is the sole limited partner and of which FSP Galleria North LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole general partner. The sole business of FSP Galleria North Limited Partnership is to own and operate the Property; the sole business of each of FSP Galleria North LLC and the Company is to hold the equity interests of FSP Galleria North Limited Partnership. The purchase price of the Property was entirely financed by a loan from Franklin Street collateralized by a first mortgage, which loan was repaid from a portion of the proceeds of the sale of Preferred Stock from each investor closing until the remaining balance of $2,659,092 was repaid on August 8, 2005.

 

Transactions between the Company and Franklin Street and/or its affiliates were entered into without the benefit of arm’s-length bargaining and involved conflicts of interest. Although Franklin Street sponsors the syndication of other REITs similar to the Company and has in the past acquired some of those REITs, Franklin Street is under no obligation to acquire or to offer to acquire the Company or the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, and any acquisition transaction would need to be approved by the Company’s stockholders and the boards of directors of Franklin Street and the Company. Please see “Part III, Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”.

 

Our Business

 

Our sole business is to own and operate the Property and we do not intend to invest in or purchase any additional properties. We derive rental revenue from income paid to us by tenants of the Property. Asset and property management services are provided by third parties.

 

The Property was completed in 1999 and was leased in its entirety (100%) through December 31, 2009 to Tenet Hospitals Limited, which we refer to as Tenet Hospitals, with the lease fully guaranteed by Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC). The Property is currently vacant.

 

FSP Property Management LLC or FSP Property Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Street, provides the Company with asset management and financial reporting services. The asset management agreement between the Company and FSP Property Management requires the Company to pay FSP Property Management a monthly fee equal to one percent (1%) of the gross revenues of the Property. The asset management agreement between the Company and FSP Property Management may be terminated by either party without cause at any time, upon at least 30 days written notice.

 

Hines Interests Limited Partnership, or Hines, provides the Company with day-to-day property management services relating to the operation of the Property. Hines is a third-party service provider that is not related to or affiliated with Franklin Street. The management agreement between the Company and Hines requires the Company to pay Hines a monthly fee equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the net operating receipts collected in the preceding month. The management agreement between the Company and Hines may be terminated by either party without cause at any time, upon at least 30 days written notice, effective at the end of the notice period.

Investment Objectives

 

With the departure of Tenet Hospitals as our tenant, our objectives are to (i) re-lease and stabilize the Property, (ii) once re-leased and stabilized, consider a potential sale of the Property, (iii) increase the value of the shares of our Preferred Stock as a result of appreciation in market value of the Property, and (iv) preserve and protect the capital invested by the holders of our Preferred Stock. We cannot be sure of meeting our objectives.

 

Our policy is not to make loans to other persons, not to invest in the securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control, not to underwrite the securities of other issuers, not to offer securities in exchange for property and not to purchase or otherwise reacquire our securities. These policies may be changed by our directors without a vote of our stockholders.

 

We have issued our shares of Preferred Stock in the offering described above. No additional shares of Preferred Stock are authorized by our charter, and authorization of any increase in the number of authorized shares or the creation of any new series or class of stock would require the affirmative vote of the holders of 66.67% of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

 

We intend to dispose of the Property at such time that our directors determine that we have achieved our investment objectives. We do not intend to reinvest the proceeds of any such disposition. We also do not intend to list our shares of Preferred Stock on an exchange and therefore do not expect any trading market to develop in such shares.

 

We have the right to obtain a line of credit as described below.

 

Revolving Line of Credit

 

Given the amount of space that needs to be re-leased following the departure of Tenet Hospitals on December 31, 2009 and the potential for significant tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions, it is possible that we may need to borrow funds in the future. The Company may, without the consent of any holder of shares of our Preferred Stock, obtain a revolving line of credit of up to $27,400,000 on commercially reasonable terms to be used for capital improvements or to pay operating expenses of the Property, if needed. As of February 28, 2011, the Company had neither sought nor obtained a line of credit.

 

Competition

 

The Property is located within the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex office market and, more specifically, within the Class “A” office segment of the Lower Tollway portion of the Far North Dallas submarket. The Property is currently vacant following the departure of Tenet Hospitals on December 31, 2009. As a result, the Property is competing against the other office buildings which are or may become available in the general area in which the Property is located and which may be priced at rental levels lower than those for space in the Property or which may be more attractive to tenants. In order to secure a replacement tenant or tenants, the Property must be competitive, in regards to cost and amenities, with other buildings of similar use near our location. Some of our competitors may have significantly more resources than we do and may be able to offer more attractive rental rates or services. On the other hand, some of our competitors may be smaller or have less fixed overhead costs, less cash or other resources that make them willing or able to accept lower rents in order to maintain a certain occupancy level. If, at any time, there is not significant competition for the Property (as a result of lack of vacancy in competing buildings or otherwise), our competitors may decide to enter the market and build new buildings to compete with the Property. Our competition is not only with other developers, but also with property users who choose to own their building. In addition, larger market forces beyond our control, such as general economic conditions, may increase competition among landlords for quality tenants and individual decisions beyond our control.

 

Management believes that the position of the Property within the office market is strong and management is optimistic that the existing vacant space will ultimately be leased to a new tenant or tenants.

 

Employees

 

We had no employees as of December 31, 2010.

13737 Noel Road 10/14/04 379,518 0% 0 N/A
Dallas , TX 75240          

 

Completed in 1999, the Property is a sixteen-story Class “A” office tower containing approximately 379,518 rentable square feet and its associated infrastructure located on approximately 4.8 acres of land located in Dallas, Texas. We acquired fee title to the Property through a limited partnership, all of whose equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company on October 14, 2004. The Property was leased in its entirety (100%) through December 31, 2009 to Tenet Hospitals, with the lease being fully guaranteed by Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC). The Property is currently vacant.

 

In the opinion of our management, the Property is adequately covered by insurance. The Property is not currently encumbered by any mortgage indebtedness. Management has hired an architect and begun the process of repositioning the Property to attract a wide variety of prospective tenants. Although subject to change, management is planning to feature a large conference center and a brand new fitness center that could be viewed as highly-desirable amenities for prospective tenants.

 

Additional Operating Data

 

Additional information regarding the amount of the Property’s annual realty taxes and insurance can be found in the Statements of Operations in the financial statements that are included with this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the consolidated financial statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as necessarily indicative of future operations. The following discussion and other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K may also contain forward-looking statements based on current judgments and current knowledge of management, which are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward looking statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation, economic conditions in the United States and in the market where we own the Property, the attractiveness of the Property to prospective tenants, our ability to find a replacement tenant or tenants for the space vacated by Tenet Hospitals, continued disruptions in the debt markets, risks of a lessening of demand for the type of real estate owned by us, changes in government regulations, and expenditures that cannot be anticipated such as utility rate and usage increases, unanticipated repairs, additional staffing, insurance increases and real estate tax valuation reassessments. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We may not update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K is filed to conform them to actual results or to changes in our expectations that occur after such date, other than as required by law.

 

Overview

 

FSP Galleria North Corp., which we refer to as the Company, is a Delaware corporation formed to purchase, own and operate a sixteen-story Class A suburban office tower located in Dallas, Texas containing approximately 379,518 square feet of rentable space located on approximately 4.8 acres of land, which we refer to as the Property.  The Property was 100% leased to a single tenant, Tenet Hospitals Limited, which we refer to as Tenet Hospitals, whose lease expired on December 31, 2009. The Property is currently vacant.

 

Franklin Street Properties Corp., which we refer to as Franklin Street, is the sole holder of our one share of common stock, $.01 par value per share, which we refer to as the Common Stock, that is issued and outstanding. Between December 2004 and August 2005, FSP Investments LLC (member FINRA and SIPC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Street, completed the sale on a best efforts basis of 860 shares of our preferred stock, $.01 par value per share, which we refer to as the Preferred Stock. FSP Investments LLC sold the Preferred Stock in a private placement offering to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. Since the completion of the placement of the Preferred Stock in August 2005, Franklin Street has not been entitled to share in any earnings or dividend related to the Common Stock.

 

We operate in one business segment, which is real estate operations, and own a single property. Our real estate operations involve real estate rental operations, leasing services and property management services. The main factor that affects our real estate operations is the broad economic market conditions in the United States and, more specifically, the economic conditions in Dallas, Texas, the relevant submarket. These market conditions affect the occupancy levels and the rent levels on both a national and local level. We have no influence on national or local market conditions.

 

Trends and Uncertainties

 

Economic Conditions

 

The economy in the United States is continuing to experience a period of limited economic growth, including historically high levels of unemployment, the failure and near failure of a number of large financial institutions, reduced liquidity and increased credit risk premiums for a number of market participants. Economic conditions may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to, inflation and employment levels, energy prices, recessionary concerns, changes in currency exchange rates, the availability of debt and interest rate fluctuations. We believe that the current state of the U.S. economy has affected real estate values, occupancy levels and property income levels and may continue or worsen in the future. We also believe that the current state of the U.S. economy has negatively impacted our ability to re-lease the space vacated by Tenet Hospitals on December 31, 2009. At this time, we cannot predict the extent or duration of any negative impact that the current disruptions in the U.S. economy will have on our business and, more specifically, on our efforts to find a replacement tenant (or tenants) for Tenet Hospitals.

Real Estate Operations

 

On December 31, 2009, our lease with Tenet Hospitals expired and the Property is currently vacant. Management had planned for this vacancy and is aggressively working with its local leasing team to re-lease the Property. However, we may not be able to re-lease all of the space and any space that is re-leased may be at a rate that is significantly lower than the rate paid by Tenet Hospitals.

 

It is difficult for management to predict what will happen to occupancy and rents at the Property in the future because the need for space and the price tenants are willing to pay are tied to both the local economy and to the larger trends in the national economy, such as job growth, interest rates, the availability of credit and corporate earnings, which in turn are tied to even larger macroeconomic and political factors, such as recessionary concerns, volatility in energy pricing and the risk of terrorism.  In addition to the difficulty of predicting macroeconomic factors, it is difficult to predict how our local market or potential replacement tenants will suffer or benefit from changes in the larger economy.  In addition, because the Property is in a single geographical market, these macroeconomic trends may have a different effect on the Property and on potential replacement tenants, some of which may operate on a national level.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we believe that vacancy rates and rental rates stabilized for Class A buildings in the Lower Tollway portion of the Far North Dallas submarket. This trend may continue, worsen or improve in the future.  Management believes that the Property is very well positioned as compared to other existing buildings in the Far North Dallas submarket, but management believes that the Property is competing primarily with potential build-to-suit projects for larger prospective users.  Although the economy has shown signs of potential recovery, the pace of leasing activity in the Lower Tollway portion of the Far North Dallas submarket has been sluggish and will likely prolong the amount of time it takes to re-lease the Property.  

 

Management believes that the Property will continue to attract prospective tenants seeking quality office suites in Class A office buildings in the Lower Tollway submarket of Far North Dallas. In order to maintain the Property’s position in the marketplace, management previously hired an architect to begin the process of repositioning the Property to attract a wide variety of prospective tenants. During the fourth quarter of 2010, a marketing center was constructed on the first floor and select portions of floors were demolished and cleaned to better present the interior and exterior views. Management is utilizing the marketing center to feature plans for a large conference center and brand new fitness center that could be viewed as highly-desirable amenities for prospective tenants. During the third quarter of 2010, management replaced the original cooling tower with a new cooling tower with enhanced capacity and efficiency that will be able to accommodate a larger number of prospective tenants with supplemental cooling needs. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2009, management successfully led the effort to cause the Property to achieve LEED® Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance, which we refer to as LEED-EB: O&M. In fact, the Property was the first commercial building in Dallas, Texas to be awarded the highly-esteemed Gold Certification for LEED-EB: O&M.

 

In anticipation of the current vacancy and the increasing possibility of a prolonged economic downturn, we reduced the amount of our dividend distributions for calendar year 2009 and, more recently, suspended dividend distributions for 2010 and the foreseeable future in order to build up a reserve that could be utilized to fund operating and/or leasing costs. As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately $4.9 million of cash available to help fund operating and/or leasing costs.

 

Given the amount of space that needs to be re-leased following the departure of Tenet Hospitals on December 31, 2009 and the potential for significant tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions, it is possible that we may need to borrow funds in the future. We may, without the consent of any holder of shares of our Preferred Stock, obtain a revolving line of credit of up to $27,400,000 on commercially reasonable terms to be used for capital improvements or to pay operating expenses of the Property, if needed. As of February 28, 2011, the Company had neither sought nor obtained a line of credit.

 

In light of the current economic downturn, the potential for tenants to default on their leases or to seek the protection of bankruptcy laws has increased. If any of our future tenants defaults on its lease, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. In addition, at any time, a tenant may seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of such tenant’s lease and thereby cause a reduction in cash available for distribution to our stockholders. Bankruptcy or a material adverse change in the financial condition of a material tenant would likely have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have certain critical accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates by our management and uncertainties of outcome that affect the application of these policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and that require significant management estimates and judgments, are discussed below.

 

Critical accounting policies are those that have the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. We believe that our judgments and estimates are consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly presents our results of operations. These policies affect our:

 

·recognition of rental income and depreciation and amortization expense; and
·assessment of the carrying values and impairments of long-lived assets.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

We compute depreciation expense using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of up to 39 years for the building and improvements, and up to 15 years for personal property. The allocated cost of land is not depreciated. The value of an above or below-market lease is amortized over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the lease as an adjustment to rental income. The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is also amortized over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease is terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off. Inappropriate allocation of acquisition costs, or incorrect estimates of useful lives, could result in depreciation and amortization expenses which do not appropriately reflect the allocation of our capital expenditures over future periods, as is required by generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Impairment

 

We periodically evaluate the Property for impairment indicators. These indicators may include declining tenant occupancy, weak or declining tenant profitability, cash flow or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life or legislative, economic or market changes that permanently reduce the value of our investment. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the Property by comparing it to its expected future undiscounted cash flows. If the sum of these expected future cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the Property to the present value of these expected future cash flows. This analysis requires us to judge whether indicators of impairment exist and to estimate likely future cash flows. If we misjudge or estimate incorrectly or if future tenant profitability, market or industry factors differ from our expectations, we may record an impairment charge which is inappropriate or fail to record a charge when we should have done so, or the amount of such charges may be inaccurate.

 

Lease Classification

 

Each time we enter a new lease or materially modify an existing lease we evaluate whether it is appropriately classified as a capital lease or as an operating lease. The classification of a lease as capital or operating affects the carrying value of a property, as well as our recognition of rental payments as revenue. These evaluations require us to make estimates of, among other things, the remaining useful life and market value of a property, discount rates and future cash flows. Incorrect assumptions or estimates may result in misclassification of our leases.

Results of Operations

 

The Property is currently vacant and was leased in its entirety (100%) through December 31, 2009 to Tenet Hospitals.

 

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2010 to the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Revenue

 

Total revenue decreased $9.6 million to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease was due to the building being vacant.

 

Expenses

 

Total expenses decreased approximately $2.5 million to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.9 million decrease in rental operating expenses and a $0.7 million decrease in depreciation and amortization, which was offset by a $0.1 million increase in real estate taxes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.7 million to $5.8 million at December 31, 2010 as compared to $9.5 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease was attributable to $3.1 million used in operating activities and approximately $0.6 million used for investing activities.

 

Management believes that the existing cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 of $5.8 million will be sufficient to meet operational needs, working capital requirements, distributions and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

 

Operating Activities

 

The cash used in operating activities of $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to net loss of approximately $3.5 million plus the add-back of $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization, which was partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

.

Investing Activities

 

Cash used for investing activities of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily used for capital expenditures.

 

Financing Activities

 

There was no cash used for financing activities for the year ending December 31, 2010.

 

Sources and Uses of Funds

 

The Company’s principal demands on liquidity are cash for operations and dividends paid to equity holders. As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately $0.9 million in accrued liabilities and no long-term debt.

 

Contingencies

 

We may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Related Party Transactions

 

We have in the past engaged in and currently engage in transactions with a related party, Franklin Street and its subsidiaries FSP Investments LLC and FSP Property Management LLC, which we collectively refer to as FSP. We expect to continue to have related party transactions with FSP in the form of management fees paid to FSP to manage the Company on behalf of our stockholders. FSP Property Management LLC currently provides the Company with asset management and financial reporting services. The asset management agreement between the Company and FSP Property Management LLC requires the Company to pay FSP Property Management LLC a monthly fee equal to one percent (1%) of the gross revenues of the Property. The asset management agreement between the Company and FSP Property Management LLC may be terminated by either party without cause at any time, upon at least 30 days written notice, effective at the end of the notice period. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, management fees paid were $0 and $109,000, respectively.

 

Franklin Street is the sole holder of the Company’s one share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding. Subsequent to the completion of the private placement of the Preferred Stock in August 2005, the last Common Stock dividend was declared on October 22, 2005 and was paid on November 16, 2005. Since that time, Franklin Street has not been entitled to share in any earnings nor any dividend as a result of its ownership of the Common Stock of the Company.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, 100% of the Property’s rental income was derived from a lease with Tenet Hospitals, with the lease being fully guaranteed by Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC). We refer to Tenet Hospitals and Tenet Healthcare Corporation collectively as Tenet. Our Company’s lease with Tenet expired on December 31, 2009 and the Property is currently vacant. Tenet’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are publicly available.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company is not party to any off balance sheet arrangements. The Company is a party to a management agreement with an unaffiliated third party management company, Hines Interests Limited Partnership, to provide property management services, and is party to an asset management agreement with an affiliate, FSP Property Management LLC, to provide asset management and financial reporting services, both of which agreements may be terminated by either party without cause at any time, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice. The asset management agreement between the Company and FSP Property Management LLC requires the Company to pay FSP Property Management LLC a monthly fee equal to one percent (1%) of the gross revenues of the Property. Moreover, the Company does not have a proposed program for the renovation, improvement or development of the real property other than normal tenant improvements or replacements of equipment in the ordinary course of ongoing operations.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

 

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

 

12
 

Based on our assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

 

This annual report is not required to include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. This report shall not be deemed to be filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

Messrs. Carter, MacPhee and Gribbell and Mses. Fournier and Notopoulos, each of whom is an executive officer of the Company, are executive officers of Franklin Street and, except for Messrs. MacPhee and Gribbell, are directors of Franklin Street. None of such persons received any remuneration from the Company for their services.

 

We have in the past engaged in and currently engage in transactions with a related party, Franklin Street and its subsidiaries FSP Investments LLC and FSP Property Management LLC, which we collectively refer to as FSP. We expect to continue to have related party transactions with FSP in the form of management fees paid to FSP to manage the Company on behalf of our stockholders. FSP Property Management LLC currently provides the Company with asset management and financial reporting services. The asset management agreement between the Company and FSP Property Management LLC requires the Company to pay FSP Property Management LLC a monthly fee equal to one percent (1%) of the gross revenues of the Property. The asset management agreement between the Company and FSP Property Management LLC may be terminated by either party without cause at any time, upon at least 30 days written notice, effective at the end of the notice period. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, management fees paid were $0 and $109,000, respectively.

 

Franklin Street is the sole holder of our one share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding. Subsequent to the completion of the private placement of the Preferred Stock in August 2005, the last Common Stock dividend was declared on October 22, 2005 and was paid on November 16, 2005. Since that time, Franklin Street has not been entitled to share in any earnings or any dividend as a result of its ownership of the Common Stock of the Company.

FSP Galleria North Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FSP Galleria North Corp. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FSP Galleria North Corp. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

FSP Galleria North Corp.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.     Organization

 

FSP Galleria North Corp. (the “Company”) was organized on September 21, 2004 as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware to purchase, own and operate a sixteen-story Class “A” office tower containing approximately 379,518 rentable square feet of space located on approximately 4.8 acres of land in Dallas, Texas (the “Property”). The Company acquired the Property on October 14, 2004. Franklin Street Properties Corp. (“Franklin Street”) (NYSE Amex: FSP) holds the sole share of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). Between December 2004 and August 2005, FSP Investments LLC (member, FINRA and SIPC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Street, completed the sale on a best efforts basis of 860 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”). FSP Investments LLC sold the Preferred Stock in a private placement offering to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

All references to the Company refer to FSP Galleria North Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, unless the content otherwise requires.

 

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements and related notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

REAL ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION

 

Real estate assets are stated at the lower of cost or fair value, as appropriate, less accumulated depreciation. Costs related to property acquisition and improvements are capitalized. Typical capital items include new roofs, site improvements, various exterior building improvements and major interior renovations. Funding for capital improvements typically is provided by cash set aside at the time the Property was purchased.

 

Routine replacements and ordinary maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Funding for repairs and maintenance items typically is provided by cash flows from operating activities.

 

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives as follows:

 

  Category Years
  Building - Commercial 39
  Building Improvements 15-39
  Fixtures and Equipment 5-7

 

The Company reviews the Property to determine if the carrying amount will be recovered from future cash flows if certain indicators of impairment are identified at the Property. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. When indicators of impairment are present and the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s current carrying value and its fair value based on discounting its estimated future cash flows. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, no impairment charges were recorded.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

REAL ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION (continued)

 

Depreciation expense of $1,513,000 and $1,508,000 is included in Depreciation and Amortization in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

ACQUIRED REAL ESTATE LEASE

 

The acquired real estate lease represents the estimated value of legal and leasing costs related to an acquired lease that was included in the purchase price when the Company acquired the Property. The Company segregates these costs from its investment in real estate. The Company subsequently amortizes these costs on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the related lease. Amortization expense of $716,000 is included in Depreciation and Amortization in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Acquired real estate lease costs included in the purchase price of the Property were $3,614,000. On December 31, 2009 the lease with Tenet Hospitals Limited (“Tenet Hospitals”) expired and the fully amortized acquired real estate lease costs were written off.

 

ACQUIRED FAVORABLE REAL ESTATE LEASE

 

Acquired favorable real estate lease represents the value related to the lease when the lease payments due under a tenant’s lease exceed the market rate of the lease at the date the Property was acquired. The Company reports this value separately from its investment in real estate. The Company subsequently amortizes this amount on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the tenant’s lease. Amortization of $309,000 is shown as a reduction of rental income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

The acquired favorable real estate lease costs included in the purchase price of the property were $1,557,000. On December 31, 2009 the lease with Tenet Hospitals expired and the fully amortized acquired favorable real estate lease costs were written off.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has set aside funded reserves of $4,067,000 and $4,680,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, in anticipation of future capital needs of the Property. These funds typically are used for the payment of real estate assets and deferred leasing commissions; however, there is no legal restriction on their use and they may be used for any Company purpose.

 

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS

 

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains its cash balances and short-term investments principally in banks which the Company believes to be creditworthy. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the banks and believes that the risk of loss is minimal. Cash balances held with various financial institutions frequently exceed the insurance limit of $250,000 provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, 100% of the Property’s rental income was derived from a lease with Tenet Hospitals, with the lease being fully guaranteed by Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC). We refer to Tenet Hospitals and Tenet Healthcare Corporation collectively as “Tenet”. The Company’s lease with Tenet expired on December 31, 2009 and the Property is currently vacant. Tenet’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are publicly available.

 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company estimates that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values based on their short-term maturity and prevailing interest rates.

2.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

STEP RENT RECEIVABLE

 

The lease provided for fixed rental increases over the life of the lease. Rental revenue was recognized on the straight-line basis over the related lease term; however, billings by the Company are based on required minimum rentals in accordance with the lease agreement. Step rent receivable, which is the cumulative revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed by the Company, is $2,000 and $0 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

TENANT RENT AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

 

Tenant rent and other receivables are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding at year-end. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its estimate of a tenant’s ability to make future rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based in part on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status. Management monitors outstanding balances and relationships and concluded that an allowance of $230,000 and $196,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is sufficient.

 

SYNDICATION FEES

 

Syndication fees are selling commissions and other costs that were associated with the initial offering of shares of the Preferred Stock. Such costs, in the amount of $7,054,000 are included as a reduction in Stockholders’ Equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the Company’s commercial property and accounts for its lease as an operating lease. Rental income from the lease, which may include rent concession (including free rent and tenant improvement allowances) and scheduled increases in rental rates during the lease term, is recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company does not have any percentage rent arrangements with its commercial property tenant. Reimbursable costs are included in rental income in the year earned.

 

A schedule showing the components of rental revenue is shown below. The property is currently vacant.

 

   Year  Ended December 31,
(in thousands)  2010  2009
Income from lease  $19   $6,595 
Straight-line rent adjustment   2    (31)
Reimbursable expenses   88    3,450 
Amortization of favorable lease   —      (309)
           
    Total  $109   $9,705 

 

 

INTEREST INCOME

 

Interest income is recognized when the earnings process is complete.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company generally is entitled to a tax deduction for dividends paid to its stockholders, thereby effectively subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to taxation at the stockholder level only. The Company must comply with a variety of restrictions to maintain its status as a REIT. These restrictions include the type of income it can earn, the type of assets it can hold, the number of stockholders it can have and the concentration of their ownership, and the amount of the Company’s taxable income that must be distributed annually.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share of Preferred Stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of Preferred Stock reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares. There were no potential dilutive shares outstanding at December 31, 2010 and 2009. Subsequent to the completion of the offering of shares of Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock are not entitled to share in any income nor in any related dividend.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these consolidated financial statements the Company evaluated events that occurred through the date of issuance of these financial statements for potential recognition or disclosure.

3.      Income Taxes

 

The Company files as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to stockholders and to meet certain asset and income tests as well as certain other requirements. The Company will generally not be liable for federal income taxes, provided it satisfies these requirements. Even as a qualified REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property. For the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2004, the Company incurred net operating losses for income tax purposes of approximately $3,591,000 and $317,000, each of which can be carried forward until they expire in the year 2030 and 2024, respectively.

 

The Company adopted an accounting pronouncement related to uncertainty in income taxes effective January 1, 2007, which did not result in recording a liability, nor were any accrued interest and penalties recognized with the adoption. Accrued interest and penalties will be recorded as income tax expense, if the Company records a liability in the future. The Company’s effective tax rate was not affected by the adoption. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and State of Texas jurisdiction. The statute of limitations for the Company’s income tax returns is generally three years and as such, the Company’s returns that remain subject to examination would be primarily from 2007 and thereafter.

 

At December 31, 2010, the Company’s net tax basis of its real estate assets was $59,707,000.

 

The following schedule reconciles net income (loss) to taxable income (loss) subject to dividend requirements, which are calculated annually:

 

   Year  Ended December 31,
(in thousands)  2010  2009
       
Net income (loss)  $(3,478)  $3,658

3. Income Taxes (continued)

 

The following schedule summarizes the tax components of the distributions paid, which are calculated annually, for the years ended December 31:

    Preferred    %    Preferred    %

Total  $—      0%   $5,099    100% 

 

4.     Capital Stock

 

PREFERRED STOCK

 

Generally, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive ratably all dividends, if any, declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. The right to receive dividends is non-cumulative, and no right to dividends shall accrue by reason of the fact that no dividend has been declared in any prior year. Each holder of shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, to the extent that funds are available therefore, $100,000 per share of Preferred Stock, before any payment to the holder of Common Stock, out of distributions to stockholders upon liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of the Company; the balance of any such funds available for distribution will be distributed among the holders of shares of Preferred Stock and the holder of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each; provided, however, that for these purposes, one share of Common Stock will be deemed to equal one-tenth of a share of Preferred Stock.

 

In addition to certain rights to remove and replace directors, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall have the further right to approve or disapprove a proposed sale of the Property, the merger of the Company with any other entity and amendments to the corporate charter. A vote of the holders of not less than 66.67% of then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock is required for the issuance of any additional shares of capital stock. Holders of shares of Preferred Stock have no redemption or conversion rights.

 

COMMON STOCK

 

Franklin Street is the sole holder of the Company’s Common Stock. Franklin Street has the right to vote to elect the directors of the Company and to vote on all matters, subject to the voting rights of the Preferred Stock set forth above. Subsequent to the completion of the offering of the shares of Preferred Stock in August 2005, Franklin Street, as the holder of Common Stock, was not entitled to share in any earnings nor any related dividend.

 

5.     Related Party Transactions

 

The Company has in the past engaged in and currently engages in transactions with a related party, Franklin Street and its subsidiaries FSP Investments LLC and FSP Property Management LLC (collectively, “FSP”). The Company expects to continue to have related party transactions with FSP in the form of management fees paid to FSP to manage the Company on behalf of our stockholders. FSP Property Management LLC currently provides the Company with asset management and financial reporting services. The asset management agreement between the Company and FSP Property Management LLC requires the Company to pay FSP Property Management LLC a monthly fee equal to one percent (1%) of the gross revenues of the Property. The asset management agreement between the Company and FSP Property Management LLC may be terminated by either party without cause at any time, upon at least 30 days written notice, effective at the end of the notice period. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, management fees paid were $0 and $109,000, respectively.

 

Franklin Street is the sole holder of our one share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding. Subsequent to the completion of the private placement of the Preferred Stock in August 2005, Franklin Street has not been entitled to share in any earnings nor any dividend as a result of its ownership of the Common Stock of the Company.
