KBS LEGACY PARTNERS APARTMENT REIT, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011

(unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on July 31, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through KBS Legacy Partners Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on August 4, 2009. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. KBS Legacy Partners Holdings LLC (“REIT Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on August 4, 2009, owns the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner. The Company is the sole member and manager of REIT Holdings.

Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is externally managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company originally entered into with the Advisor on January 25, 2010 and renewed for an additional one-year term on January 25, 2011 (the “Advisory Agreement”).

On August 7, 2009, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock to KBS-Legacy Apartment Community REIT Venture, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. As of March 31, 2011, the Sub-Advisor owns 20,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

The Company expects to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of high quality apartment communities located throughout the United States. The Company expects that its portfolio will include “core” apartment buildings that are already well positioned and producing rental income, as well as more opportunity oriented properties at various phases of leasing, development, redevelopment or repositioning. The Company may make its investments through the acquisition of individual assets or by acquiring portfolios of assets, other REITs or real estate companies. As of March 31, 2011, the Company owned one apartment complex.

On August 19, 2009, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares (the “Minimum Number of Shares”) and a maximum of 280,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public (the “Offering”), of which 80,000,000 shares would be offered pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on March 12, 2010, and the Company retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Company, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering. The Dealer Manager will be responsible for marketing the Company’s shares being offered pursuant to the Offering.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had sold 772,574 shares of common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $7.7 million, including 2,076 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $20,000.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

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

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates

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

Revenue Recognition

The Company leases apartment units under operating leases with terms generally of one year or less. Generally, credit investigations will be performed for prospective residents and security deposits will be obtained. The Company recognizes rental revenue, net of concessions, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, when collectibility is reasonably assured.

Real Estate

Depreciation and Amortization

Real estate properties are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements and five to 12 years for computer, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Costs directly associated with the development of land and those incurred during construction are capitalized as part of the investment basis. Operating expenses incurred that are not related to the development and construction of the real estate investments are expensed as incurred. Repairs, maintenance and tenant turnover costs are expensed as incurred and significant replacements and improvements will be capitalized. Repairs, maintenance and tenant turnover costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate property. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life.

Intangible assets related to in-place leases are amortized to expense over the average remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective in-place leases.

Development Costs

The Company will capitalize development and construction costs (including interest and other financing fees, property taxes, and other direct and indirect development costs) beginning when active development commences and ending when apartment units are available for occupancy and all infrastructure is substantially complete.

Real Estate Acquisition Valuation

The Company records the acquisition of income-producing real estate or real estate that will be used for the production of income as a business combination. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date will be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date. The Company did not acquire any real estate assets during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company assesses the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis) which utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it was vacant. Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated value of the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. Acquired in-place lease intangibles are amortized to expense over the average remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective in-place leases.

The Company records above-market and below-market in-place lease intangibles for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of above-market in-place leases and for the initial term plus any extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. The Company amortizes any recorded above-market or below-market lease intangibles as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, including any below-market renewal periods.

The Company estimates the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. The Company amortizes the value of tenant origination and absorption costs to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining average non-cancelable term of the leases, including any below-market renewal periods.

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

Impairment of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets and Liabilities

The Company monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable or realized. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, the Company will assess the recoverability by estimating whether the Company will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, the Company does not believe that it will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, the Company would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

When available, the Company will utilize quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and will classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company will use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and will establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach.

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

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

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

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) through which current and future common stockholders may elect to reinvest an amount equal to the distributions declared on their shares in additional shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of receiving cash distributions. The initial purchase price per share under the DRP is $9.50. Once the Company establishes an estimated value per share, shares issued pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan will be priced at the estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. The Company currently expects to establish an estimated value per share no later than the completion of its offering stage. The offering stage will be considered complete when the Company is no longer publicly offering equity securities – whether through the Offering or follow-on public offerings – and has not done so for up to 18 months. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees will be paid on shares sold under the DRP. The board of directors of the Company may amend or terminate the DRP for any reason upon 10 days’ notice to participants.

Redeemable Common Stock

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

Notwithstanding the above, the redemption price for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” will initially be the amount paid to acquire the shares from the Company. Furthermore, once the Company establishes an estimated value per share of its common stock, the redemption price per share for all stockholders will be equal to the estimated value per share, as determined by the Advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. The Company currently expects to establish an estimated value per share no later than the completion of its offering stage. The Company will consider its offering stage complete when it is no longer publicly offering equity securities - whether through the primary offering or a follow-on public offering - and has not done so for up to 18 months. “Public equity offering” for this purpose does not include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to a dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in the Operating Partnership.

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

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

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

As described above, the Company limits the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program to the amount of net proceeds from the issuance of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. The Company did not issue any shares under its dividend reinvestment plan during the year ended December 31, 2010. Accordingly, because of the restriction, the Company has no funds available for redemption under the share redemption program in 2011. Through March 31, 2011, the Company has not received any requests to have shares redeemed pursuant to the share redemption program and no shares had been redeemed by the Company.

Related Party Transactions

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

The Company records all related party fees as incurred, subject to any limitations described in the Advisory Agreement. The Company had not incurred any disposition fees, subordinated participation in net cash flows, or subordinated incentive listing fees during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or during any previous periods.

Organization and Offering Costs

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

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company, provided that the Advisor would be obligated to reimburse the Company to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs incurred by the Company in the Offering exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds. As a result, the Company is only liable for these costs up to an amount that, when combined with selling commissions and dealer manager fees, does not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company’s selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and organization and other offering costs were 15% of the gross offering proceeds. Through March 31, 2011, the Company had sold 772,574 shares in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $7.7 million and recorded organization and other offering costs of $0.5 million and selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $0.7 million. Organization and offering costs, which include selling commissions and dealer manager fees, will be deferred and charged to stockholders’ equity as such amounts are reimbursed to the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates from the gross proceeds of the Offering. The Company expects the Advisor to continue to incur organization and other offering costs on its behalf.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

The Company pays the Dealer Manager up to 6.5% and 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the primary offering as selling commissions and dealer manager fees, respectively. A reduced sales commission and dealer manager fee is paid with respect to certain volume discount sales. No sales commission or dealer manager fee is paid with respect to shares issued through the dividend reinvestment plan. The Dealer Manager will reallow 100% of sales commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. The Dealer Manager may reallow to any participating broker-dealer up to 1% of the gross offering proceeds attributable to that participating broker-dealer as a marketing fee and, in special cases, the Dealer Manager may increase the reallowance.

Acquisition Advisory Fee

The Company pays the Advisor an acquisition advisory fee equal to 1% of the cost of investments acquired, including any acquisition expenses and any debt attributable to such investments.

Asset Management Fee

With respect to investments in real estate, the Company pays the Advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the amount paid to fund the acquisition, development, construction or improvement of the investment, inclusive of acquisition expenses related thereto (but excluding any acquisition fees related thereto). The amount paid includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying investment.

Income Taxes

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

Segments

The Company has invested in one apartment complex. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue and net loss is from real estate, and therefore, the Company currently operates in one business segment.

Per Share Data

Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day during the three months ended March 31, 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, distributions were based on daily record dates and calculated at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day. Each day during the period from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011 was a record date for distributions. No day during the period from January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010 was a record date for distributions.

5. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

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

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

Notes payable: The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach.

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company at March 31, 2011 and requires a significant amount of judgment. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has executed the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and a Dealer Manager Agreement with the Dealer Manager. These agreements will entitle the Advisor and the Dealer Manager to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the Offering and the investment of funds in real estate related investments, among other services, as well as reimbursement of organization and offering costs incurred by the Advisor and the Dealer Manager on behalf of the Company (as discussed in Note 2) and certain costs incurred by the Advisor in providing services to the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, summarized below are the related-party costs incurred by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and any related amounts payable as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

(1) In addition, our Advisor may seek reimbursement for employee costs under the Advisory Agreement. Beginning July 1, 2010, the Company has reimbursed the Advisor for the Company’s allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to the Company. These were the only employee costs reimbursable under the Advisory Agreement through March 31, 2011. The Company will not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which KBS Capital Advisors earns acquisition or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) or for the salaries or benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers.

(2) Related party interest expense relates to the Advisor Bridge Loan. See note 4, “Notes Payable.”

As of March 31, 2011, the Advisor has incurred organization and offering costs on behalf of the Company of approximately $2.9 million, which represent the Company’s maximum liability for organization and offering costs as of March 31, 2011. The Company will be liable for such costs up to an amount that, when combined with selling commissions and dealer manager fees, does not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. Through March 31, 2011, the Company has recognized and paid $0.7 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees and recognized $0.5 million of other organization and offering expenses, of which $0.5 million has been reimbursed or was reimbursable to the Advisor, as of March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, the Company’s selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and organization and other offering costs were 15% of the gross offering proceeds.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Economic Dependency

The Company is dependent on the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and the Dealer Manager for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the sale of the Company’s shares in its ongoing initial public offering; the identification, evaluation, negotiation, origination, acquisition and disposition of investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the respective services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.

Geographic Concentration

As of March 31, 2011, the Company owned one real estate property located in Irving, Texas. As a result of this acquisition, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Irving, Texas apartment market. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in this market, such as business layoffs or downsizing, relocations of businesses, increased competition from other apartment communities, decrease in demand for apartments or any other changes, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s property, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the property could result in future environmental liabilities.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may become party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.

The Company commenced its Offering on March 12, 2010. As of May 3, 2011, the Company had sold 996,492 shares of common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $9.9 million, including 3,403 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $32,326.

Distributions Paid

On April 15, 2011, the Company paid distributions of $36,000, which related to distributions declared for each day in the period from March 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011.

Distributions Declared

On May 5, 2011, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from June 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011, which the Company expects to pay in July 2011, and distributions based on daily record dates for the period July 1, 2011 through July 31, 2011, which the Company expects to pay in August 2011. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.

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

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

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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

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

 

   

We are dependent on our advisor and sub-advisor to identify suitable investments and to manage our investments.

 

   

All of our executive officers, some of our directors and other key real estate professionals are also officers, managers, directors, key professionals and/or holders of a controlling interest in our advisor, the sub-advisor, our dealer manager and other sponsor-affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other programs and investors advised by our sponsors. Fees paid to our advisor in connection with transactions involving the acquisition and management of our properties are based on the cost of the property, not on the quality of the investment or services rendered to us. This arrangement could influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us.

 

   

There is no assurance that we will raise the maximum offering amount in our initial public offering. If we raise substantially less than the maximum offering amount, we may not be able to invest in as diverse a portfolio of real estate properties as we otherwise would and the value of an investment may vary more widely with the performance of specific assets. There is a greater risk that stockholders will lose money in their investment in us if we have less diversity in our portfolio.

 

   

We will pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor, affiliates and broker-dealers, which payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us. These fees increase our stockholders’ risk of loss.

 

   

If we are unable to find suitable investments, we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives or pay distributions.

 

   

Until the proceeds from our initial public offering are fully invested and from time to time during our operational stage, we expect to use proceeds from financings to fund distributions in anticipation of cash flow to be received in later periods. However, our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source, including offering proceeds, which may constitute a return of capital. We have not established a limit on the amount of distributions that we may fund from sources other than from cash flows from operations.

 

   

We may incur debt exceeding 75% of the cost of our tangible assets with the approval of the conflicts committee. During the early stages of our initial public offering, we expect that our conflicts committee may approve debt in excess of this limit. Higher debt levels increase the risk of our stockholders’ investment.

 

   

Continued disruptions in the financial markets and uncertain economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy and generate returns to stockholders.

 

   

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

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

 

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Overview

We were formed on July 31, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2010 and intend to operate in such a manner. We conduct our business primarily through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner.

We intend to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of high quality apartment communities located throughout the United States. We expect that our portfolio will include “core” apartment buildings that are already well positioned and producing rental income, as well as more opportunity oriented properties at various phases of leasing, development, redevelopment or repositioning. We may make our investments through the acquisition of individual assets or by acquiring portfolios of assets, other REITs or real estate companies. As of March 31, 2011, we owned one apartment complex.

KBS Capital Advisors LLC (“KBS Capital Advisors”) is our advisor. As our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors is responsible for managing our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate assets. Subject to the terms of the advisory agreement between KBS Capital Advisors and us, KBS Capital Advisors delegates certain advisory duties to a sub-advisor, KBS-Legacy Apartment Community REIT Venture, LLC (the “Sub-advisor”), which is a joint venture among KBS Capital Advisors and Legacy Partners Residential Realty LLC. Notwithstanding such delegation to the sub-advisor, KBS Capital Advisors retains ultimate responsibility for the performance of all the matters entrusted to it under the advisory agreement. KBS Capital Advisors makes recommendations on all investments to our board of directors. A majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors acting through the conflicts committee, approves our property and real estate-related investments. KBS Capital Advisors, either directly or through the sub-advisor, will also provide asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf. We have no paid employees.

On August 19, 2009, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 280,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public, of which 80,000,000 shares would be offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on March 12, 2010 and we retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (“KBS Capital Markets Group”), an affiliate of our advisor, to serve as the dealer manager of the offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement. The dealer manager is responsible for marketing our shares in our ongoing initial public offering. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of high quality apartment communities located throughout the United States as described above.

As of March 31, 2011, we had sold 772,574 shares of common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $7.7 million, including 2,076 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $20,000.

Market Outlook – Multi-Family Real Estate and Finance Markets

The Great Recession of 2008 – 2009 resulted in significant job losses, which had an adverse effect on multifamily real estate. Vacancies at multifamily properties increased to record highs and rents decreased as owners sought to retain existing residents and attract new residents. Also, capitalization rates of multifamily properties increased and caused values to decline. In contrast, 2010 exhibited positive signs that multifamily real estate had begun a solid recovery. Vacancy declined, rents increased, and capitalization rates decreased.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were approximately 8.66 million jobs lost in the U.S. from December 2007 through December 2009 as a result of the Great Recession. In 2010, employment increased by 940,000 jobs. The unemployment rate peaked in 2009 at 10.1%. As of December 2010, the unemployment rate was down to 9.4%.

REIS, Inc. reported that apartment vacancies in the U.S. were 8.0% at the end of 2009. At the end of 2010, apartment vacancies were 6.6% (REIS, Inc. – “Apartment First Glance,” 2010 Quarter 4). REIS also reported that effective rents for apartments were up by 2.3% in 2010, in contrast to the decline in effective rents of 2.9% in 2009.

Multifamily capitalization rates in the U.S. were 7.2% in December 2009. By December 2010, multifamily capitalization rates were down to 6.6%. (Real Capital Analytics, “RCA Historical Statistics by Month – December 2010”).

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

 

In the medium- and long-term, we believe the prospects for multifamily real estate investment are promising. We expect several positive demographic trends, as noted below, will drive the demand for multifamily housing throughout this decade.

 

   

U.S. population growth – The U.S. Census Bureau projects that the U.S. population will increase by approximately 37 million (12%) between 2008 and 2020, predominantly in the West and South.

 

   

Immigration – Foreign-born renters represented 18.4% of all renters in 2005. (Rosen Consulting Group, “The National Apartment Market,” June 2009). According to the U.S. Census Bureau, immigration is expected to add about 1.4 million individuals per year to the U.S. population. This immigration-driven increase in population, when combined with the natural U.S. population increase, will increase the demand for all types of housing, including apartments, over the next decade.

 

   

Echo Boom – The children of the Baby Boom generation, dubbed the Echo Boomers, will increase the prime rental-age group, 20 to 34 year olds, by 4 million, and will remain at that elevated level through 2020 according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

 

   

Baby Boom – The population of people aged 50 to 64 is expected to increase by nearly 15 million between 2003 and 2013 (Rosen Consulting Group, “The National Apartment Market,” June 2009). These Baby Boomers generally have enough income to purchase a home but are increasingly choosing to downsize. Those Baby Boomers who choose to downsize generally prefer the conveniences of apartments, particularly those in urban infill locations.

 

   

Housing Shift – More people are choosing to rent, as opposed to own, their home. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the percentage of people that rent their housing in the United States has increased from 31.0% in fourth quarter 2005, to 33.5% in the fourth quarter 2010. This equates to approximately 2.75 million additional renter households in the U.S., according to Witten Advisors.

Other positive factors for multifamily real estate investment include:

 

   

Diminished supply – According to Witten Advisors (“United States,” First Quarter 2011), multifamily rental construction starts in the U.S. were 104,200 units in 2010, a small increase over the 50-year low mark of 97,600 units started in 2009. Multifamily rental construction starts are expected to remain below the number of units needed to support the growing U.S. population and the demands of the Echo and Baby Boomers for several years.

 

   

Availability of Debt Capital – Although there has been a tightening of lending standards for multifamily real estate, capital has remained readily available for the multifamily sector, which is in stark contrast to other commercial real estate sectors. This is in part due to the lower risk of multifamily investments as compared to the other primary property types and the continued support of government sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Housing Administration.

 

   

Maturing loans – More than $300 billion of multifamily loans are expected to mature from 2011 to 2015 (Marcus & Millichap Research Services – “Special Client Webcast,” January 2011). We believe these loan maturities will provide opportunities to purchase properties from sellers in need of liquidity or those faced with repayment deadlines.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are dependent upon the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to conduct our proposed operations. We will obtain the capital required to purchase real estate-related investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of our ongoing initial public offering and any future offerings we may conduct, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations.

On December 9, 2010, we broke escrow in our ongoing initial public offering and through March 31, 2011 we had sold 772,574 shares for gross offering proceeds of $7.7 million, including 2,076 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $20,000. If we are unable to raise substantially more funds in the offering than the minimum offering amount, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate more widely with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our initial public offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions. We do not expect to establish a permanent reserve from our offering proceeds for maintenance and repairs of real properties. However, to the extent that we have insufficient funds for such purposes, we may establish reserves from gross offering proceeds, out of cash flow from operations or out of net cash proceeds from the sale of properties.

As of March 31, 2011, we owned one apartment complex. Our operating cash needs were met through cash flow generated by our real estate investment and proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering.

Our investment in real estate generates cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate investment is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our property, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectibility of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures. As of March 31, 2011, our real estate property investment was 96% occupied.

As of March 31, 2011, our total debt outstanding was $37.0 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, we made a principal repayment of $6.0 million related to the advisor bridge loan. Once we have fully invested the proceeds of our initial public offering, we expect that our debt financing will be between 50% and 65% of the cost of our real estate investments (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) plus the value of our other assets. Our charter limits our borrowings to 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of all our assets; however, we may exceed that limit if a majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and we disclose such borrowing to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. Due to borrowings we made during the year ended December 31, 2010 we exceeded our charter limitation on borrowing during the first quarter of 2011. The conflicts committee approved the borrowings and determined that the excess leverage was justified for the following reasons:

 

   

the borrowings enabled us to purchase an asset and earn rental and interest income more quickly;

 

   

the acquisition is likely to increase the net offering proceeds from our initial public offering, thereby improving our ability to meet our goal of acquiring a diversified portfolio of properties to generate current income for investors and preserve investor capital; and

 

   

the prospectus for our initial public offering disclosed the likelihood that we would exceed our charter’s leverage guidelines during the early stages of the offering.

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

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

In order to execute our investment strategy, we primarily utilize secured debt, and, to the extent available, may in the future utilize unsecured debt, to finance a portion of our investment portfolio. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent with the use of debt in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that these risks, including refinance and interest rate risks, are properly balanced with the benefit of using leverage. We may elect to obtain financing subsequent to the acquisition date on future real estate acquisitions and initially acquire investments without debt financing. Once we have fully invested the proceeds of our initial public offering, we expect our debt financing to be between 50% and 65% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation or other noncash reserves). Our charter limits our borrowings to 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other noncash reserves) of our tangible assets; however, we may exceed that limit if the majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and we disclose such borrowings to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. From time to time, our debt financing may be below 50% of the cost of our tangible assets due to the lack of availability of debt financing or repayment of debt. As of March 31, 2011, our borrowings were approximately 101% of the cost (before depreciation or other noncash reserves) of our tangible assets. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion.

In addition to using our capital resources for investing purposes and meeting our debt obligations, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and the dealer manager. However, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of our gross offering proceeds. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to make payments to our advisor in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of real estate and real estate-related investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. The advisory agreement is in effect through January 25, 2012 and has a one-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of KBS Capital Advisors and our conflicts committee.

The following is a summary of our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2011 (in thousands):

 

            Payments Due During the Years Ending December 31,  

Contractual Obligations

             Total                 Remainder of 2011          2012-2013              2014-2015              Thereafter      

Outstanding debt obligations (1)

   $ 37,012       $           14,319       $           830       $           719       $           21,144   

Interest payments on outstanding debt obligations (2)

     7,071            729            1,968            2,542            1,832   

 

 

(1) Amounts include principal payments only.

(2) Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts and interest rates in effect at March 31, 2011. We incurred interest expense of $0.4 million, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and premium on notes payable of $0.1 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we broke escrow in our initial public offering on December 9, 2010 and commenced real estate operations on October 26, 2010 after making our first investment. The SEC declared the registration statement for our initial public offering effective on March 12, 2010 and we retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, to serve as the dealer manager of the offering.

As of March 31, 2011, we owned one apartment complex. We expect that rental income, depreciation expense, amortization expense, operating expenses, asset management fees, interest expense and net income will each increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of apartment communities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, total revenues, all of which were generated from our one real estate investment, were $1.3 million. Total expenses directly related to our real estate investment were $2.2 million, consisting of $0.3 million in property operating costs, $0.3 million of real estate taxes and insurance, $0.1 million of asset management fees, $1.0 million of depreciation and amortization and $0.5 million of interest expense.

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

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $0.3 million. These general and administrative costs consisted primarily of insurance premiums, professional fees, independent director fees and dividend processing costs. We recorded independent director fees of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, all of which were outstanding as of March 31, 2011. We expect general and administrative costs to increase in the future based on a full year of operations as well as increased activity as we make real estate investments but to decrease as a percentage of total revenue.

Organization and Offering Costs

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

Pursuant to the advisory agreement and the dealer manager agreement, we are obligated to reimburse our advisor, the dealer manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and other offering costs paid by them on our behalf; however, our advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs incurred by us exceed 15% of gross proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering. As of March 31, 2011, selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and organization and other offering costs were 15% of the gross offering proceeds. Through March 31, 2011, we had sold 772,574 shares for gross offering proceeds of $7.7 million, all of which were sold in the primary offering, and recorded organization and other offering costs of $0.5 million and selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $0.7 million.

Funds from Operations

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

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

Our calculation of FFO, which we believe is consistent with the calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT, is presented in the following table for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Set forth below is additional information related to certain items included in net loss above, which may be helpful in assessing our operating results. Please see the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows for details of our operating, investing, and financing cash activities.

Significant Items Included in Net Loss:

 

   

Interest expense from the amortization of deferred financing costs related to notes payable of approximately $86,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011; and

 

   

Interest expense from the amortization of the premium on notes payable of $(18,000) for three months ended March 31, 2011.

Operating cash flow and FFO may also be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO, such as tenant improvements, building improvements and deferred leasing costs. For three months ended March 31, 2011, our negative FFO was due to limited operations as we acquired our first investment on October 26, 2010. We expect FFO to improve as we continue to grow.

Distributions

Until we have fully invested the proceeds of our primary offering, and for some period after our offering stage, we may not be able to pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations or FFO, in which case distributions may be paid in part from debt financing. Distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flows from operations were as follows for the first quarter of 2011 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(1) Distributions for the period from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011 are based on daily record dates and are calculated at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day.

(2) Assumes shares were issued and outstanding each day during the periods presented.

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we paid aggregate distributions of $53,000, including $33,000 of distributions paid in cash and $20,000 of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $(0.2) million and cash flow from operations was $(0.3) million. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes cash distributions and dividends reinvested by stockholders, with debt financing. See the reconciliation of FFO to net income (loss) above.

From inception through March 31, 2011, we declared aggregate distributions of $0.1 million and our cumulative net loss during the same period was $3.2 million.

Over the long-term, we expect that a greater percentage of our distributions will be paid from cash flow from operations and FFO (except with respect to distributions related to sales of our assets). However, our operating performance cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including those discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Market Outlook – Multi-Family Real Estate and Finance Markets” and “Results of Operations” herein, and the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the SEC. Those factors include: the future operating performance of our investments in the existing real estate and financial environment; our ability to identify investments that are suitable to execute our investment objectives; the success and economic viability of our tenants; changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations; and the level of participation in our dividend reinvestment plan. In the event our FFO and/or cash flow from operations decrease in the future, the level of our distributions may also decrease. In addition, future distributions declared and paid may exceed FFO and/or cash flow from operations.

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated interim financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2011.

Subsequent Events

We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Status of Offering

We commenced our Offering on March 12, 2010. As of May 3, 2011, we had sold 996,492 shares of common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $9.9 million, including 3,403 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $32,326.

Distributions Paid

On April 15, 2011, we paid distributions of $36,000, which related to distributions declared for each day in the period from March 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011.

Distributions Declared

On May 5, 2011, our board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from June 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011, which we expect to pay in July 2011, and distributions based on daily record dates for the period July 1, 2011 through July 31, 2011, which we expect to pay in August 2011. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

We borrow funds and make investments at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt or fixed rate real estate loans receivable unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. At March 31, 2011, the fair value and carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $14.0 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated at March 31, 2011. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.

Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. At March 31, 2011, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $23.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based on interest rates as of March 31, 2011, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher during the three months ending March 31, 2012, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by $0.2 million and if interest rates were 100 basis points lower during the 12 months ending March 31, 2012, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by approximately $9,000.

The interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt at March 31, 2011 were 6.0% and 3.8%, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at March 31, 2011, using interest rate indices as of March 31, 2011 where applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

 

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

 

  b) On March 12, 2010, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-161449), covering a public offering of up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering and 80,000,000 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. We commenced our initial public offering on March 12, 2010 upon retaining KBS Capital Markets Group LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, as the dealer manager of our offering. We are offering 200,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering at an aggregate offering price of up to $2.0 billion, or $10.00 per share with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. The 80,000,000 shares offered under our dividend reinvestment plan are initially being offered at an aggregate offering price of $760 million, or $9.50 per share. We expect to sell the shares registered in our primary offering over a two-year period. Under rules promulgated by the SEC, in some instances we may extend the primary offering beyond that date. We may sell shares under the dividend reinvestment plan beyond the termination of the primary offering until we have sold all the shares under the plan.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of high quality apartment communities located throughout the United States. We may use the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program; development costs; capital expenditures; tenant improvement costs and other funding obligations.

As of March 31, 2011, we had sold 772,574 shares of common stock in our ongoing initial public offering for gross offering proceeds of $7.7 million, including 2,076 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $20,000. Also as of March 31, 2011, we had not redeemed any shares pursuant to our share redemption program.

As of March 31, 2011, organization and offering costs of $2.9 million have been incurred by our advisor on our behalf. As a result of satisfying the minimum offering requirement and breaking escrow in the offering, we are obligated to reimburse our advisor, our dealer manager and their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on our behalf, provided that our advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent that selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs incurred by us in the offering exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds. As of March 31, 2011, we had incurred selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs in the amounts set forth below, which amounts represent our maximum liability for organization and offering costs as of March 31, 2011. The dealer manager reallowed all of the selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers.

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

 

From the commencement of our ongoing initial public offering through March 31, 2011, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting the total expenses incurred as described above, were approximately $6.5 million.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate-related loans, real estate-related debt securities and other real estate-related investments. We may use the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program; reserves required by any financings of our investments; future funding obligations under any real estate loans receivable we acquire; the acquisition or origination of assets, which would include payment of acquisition and origination fees to our advisor; the repayment of debt; and expenses related to our investments, such as purchasing a loan senior to ours to protect our junior position in the event of a default by the borrower on the senior loan, making protective advances to preserve collateral securing a loan, or making capital and tenant improvements or paying leasing costs and commissions related to real property. As of March 31, 2011, we have invested $36.8 million in real estate, including $0.6 million of acquisition and origination fees and expenses

 

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

Notwithstanding the above, upon the death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” of a stockholder, the redemption price would be the amount paid to acquire the shares from us. Furthermore, once we establish an estimated value per share of our common stock that is not based on the price to acquire a share in our primary offering or a follow-on public offering, the redemption price per share for all stockholders would be equal to the estimated value per share, as determined by our advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. We currently expect to establish an estimated value per share no later than the completion of our offering stage. We will consider our offering stage complete when we are no longer publicly offering equity securities – whether through our initial public offering or follow-on public offerings – and have not done so for up to 18 months. “Public equity offering” for this purpose does not include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to a dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in our Operating Partnership.

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

 

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we did not redeem any shares pursuant to our share redemption program because we did not receive any requests to have shares redeemed. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we did not issue any shares under the dividend reinvestment plan, and accordingly, we have no funds available for redemption under our share redemption program in 2011.
