On July 1, 2011, the Company acquired an approximately 67,500 rentable square foot R&D building located at 5941 Optical Court in San Jose, California from the Berg Group. The total acquisition price for this property was approximately $10,825,000. The first year unleveraged cash return for this acquisition is 8.50%. The Company acquired this property by paying $2,000,000 in cash and issuing an unsecured short-term note payable in the amount of approximately $8,825,000 with an interest rate of 3.50%, which is due October 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, the remaining balance on the note payable was approximately $305,000.

On September 1, 2011, the Company entered into a change in terms agreement with Heritage Bank of Commerce to amend the maturity date of the $17,500,000 revolving line of credit to September 15, 2013. The interest rate on the revolving line of credit is the greater of LIBOR plus 1.75% or 4.00% per annum. The Heritage Bank of Commerce loan is secured by three properties consisting of approximately 219,000 rentable square feet. The Company paid approximately $21,000 in loan and legal fees in renewing the revolving line of credit.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measurement used by real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) to measure and compare operating performance. As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the Company’s operating and financial performance because when compared year over year, it reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that FFO provides useful information about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs. FFO should neither be considered as an alternative for net income as a measure of profitability nor is it comparable to cash flows provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is not comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other REITs that do not define them exactly as we define FFO.
