CEP INVESTORS XII LLC
(A Delaware Limited Liability Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 (UNAUDITED), DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010 AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 2012 THROUGH DECEMBER 4, 2012 (UNAUDITED), AND YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010

1.     Organization

CEP Investors XII LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) was formed on January 29, 1999, for the purpose of acquiring, managing, owning, leasing, and renovating a 22-story office building located at 111 Sutter Street, San Francisco, California (the “Property”). The members, EPI Investors XII LLC, a California limited liability company (“EPI”), and CFSC Capital Corp. LW, a Delaware corporation (“CFSC”), held 1.88% and 98.12% interests, respectively.

On March 29, 2005, EPI and ELPF/111 Sutter Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company which is owned by Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust, Inc. (formerly known as Excelsior LaSalle Property Fund, Inc. and referred to as “JLLIPT”), entered into a purchase agreement with CFSC to acquire 100% of CFSC’s interest in the Company. JLLIPT and EPI paid $24,645,510 and $2,975,046, respectively, and the Company paid $4,083,174 to CFSC resulting in a 100% acquisition of CFSC’s interest.

Simultaneously, the limited liability company agreement was amended and restated with EPI and JLLIPT as the members of the Company with 20% and 80% membership interests, respectively. EPI remained as the managing member.

At the close of business on December 4, 2012, JLLIPT acquired EPI's 20% interest in the Company. The purchase price for the 20% interest was $22,000,000 (unaudited) plus the assumption of the mortgage note.
The Company will remain in existence until terminated by written approval of the member, the sale or disposition of all assets, or judicial dissolution.

Member contributions, profits, losses, and cash distributions are allocated among the members in accordance with the LLC agreement.

For the period from January 1, 2012 to December 4, 2012, and the period then ended, the Company did not meet the criteria of a significant subsidiary to JLLIPT and as a result, the financial statements for the period are unaudited.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include purchase price allocations, the realizability of accounts and deferred rent receivable, useful lives of property for purposes of determining depreciation expense, and assessments as to whether there is impairment in the value of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 (UNAUDITED), DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010 AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 2012 THROUGH DECEMBER 4, 2012 (UNAUDITED), AND YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010



Initial Investment
The Company used estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques to allocate the purchase price of the acquired property among land, building, and other identifiable asset and liability intangibles. The Company recorded land and building values using an as-if-vacant methodology. The Company recorded above-market and below-market in-place lease values for the acquired property based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) the Company’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining noncancelable term of the lease. The Company amortizes the capitalized above-market lease values as a reduction of minimum rents over the remaining noncancelable terms of the respective leases. The Company amortizes the capitalized below-market lease values as an increase to rental revenues over the term of the respective leases. Should a tenant terminate its lease prior to the contractual expiration, the unamortized portion of the above-market and below-market in-place lease value is immediately charged to rental revenues.

The Company measured the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (1) the property valued with existing in-place leases and (2) the property valued as if vacant. The Company’s estimates of value were made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, primarily discounted cash flow analysis. Factors considered by the Company in its analysis included an estimate of carrying costs during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The Company also considered information obtained about the property as a result of the pre-reorganization due diligence, marketing, and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, the Company included estimates of lost rentals during the expected lease-up periods depending on specific local market conditions and costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal, and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction. The Company amortizes the value of in-place leases to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases, which generally range from 3 to 15 years.

The Company allocated the purchase price to acquired intangible assets, which included in-place lease intangibles and acquired above-market in-place lease intangibles. In-place lease intangibles and above-market intangibles were fully amortized as of December 4, 2012. The acquired intangible liabilities represent acquired below-market in-place leases which are reported net of accumulated amortization of $1,424,958 and $1,310,762 at December 4, 2012 (unaudited) and December 31, 2011, respectively, in the accompanying balance sheets.

Future amortization related to intangible liabilities as of December 31, 2011 is as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains a portion of its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits. No losses have been experienced related to such accounts. The Company believes it places its cash with quality financial institutions and is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk. Cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less.

Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash held to fund operating property insurance expenses and real estate taxes expenses, as required by the mortgage note agreement.

Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements, which improve and/or extend the useful life of the asset, are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful life.

Depreciation of the building and improvements is provided by the straight-line method over the useful life of 40 years. Tenant improvements are recorded at cost and depreciated by the straight- line method over the lesser of lives of the related leases, ranging from 1 to 7 years, or over the estimated useful life of the improvements.

The Company reviews the Property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, the Company would recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its fair value. If an impairment was recognized, the reduced carrying amount of the asset would be accounted for as its new cost. For a depreciable asset, the new cost would be depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. Generally, fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow, direct capitalization or market comparison analyses. The process of evaluating for impairment requires estimates as to future events and conditions, which are subject to varying market and economic factors. Therefore, it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate resulting from judgments as to future events could occur which would affect the recorded amounts of the Property. As of December 4, 2012 (unaudited), December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company was not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount of the Property may not be recoverable.

Deferred Charges, Net
Deferred charges include deferred leasing commissions and deferred loan costs. Deferred leasing commissions are recorded at cost and amortized over the lives of the related leases. Deferred loan costs are recorded at cost and amortized on a basis which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the note payable. Accumulated amortization of deferred leasing commissions and deferred loan costs was $1,130,541 and $432,681, respectively, at December 4, 2012 (unaudited) and $730,993 and $380,062, respectively, at December 31, 2011.




NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 (UNAUDITED), DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010 AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 2012 THROUGH DECEMBER 4, 2012 (UNAUDITED), AND YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010


Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related lease agreements including free rent periods. Differences between rental revenue earned and the amount due under the respective lease agreements are credited or charged, as applicable, to deferred rent receivable. Rental payments received prior to their recognition as income are classified as prepaid rents. In addition, certain tenants are required to pay their pro rata share of the Property’s operating expenses and/or other expenses, and the Company recognizes such payments as tenant reimbursements revenue when earned. Tenants are billed for operating expenses in accordance with the related lease agreements.

Income Taxes
The Company is organized as a limited liability company and therefore is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. The results of operations of the Company are included in the income tax returns of the members and, consequently, no provisions for income taxes have been made at the Company level.

Real Estate Taxes
The Company's real estate taxes are expensed as billed. In 2011, the taxing authority reduced the assessed value of the Property for 2009 and 2010 resulting in a combined real estate tax refund of $246,913. As a result of the change in real estate taxes, the Company performed a reconciliation of tenant reimbursements revenue for the affected periods which resulted in a refund due to tenants in the amount of $75,316. The tenant refund was recorded as a decrease to tenant reimbursements revenue during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Asset Retirement Obligation
Certain areas of the Property contain asbestos. Although the asbestos is appropriately contained in accordance with current environmental regulations, the Company’s practice is to remediate the asbestos upon the renovation or redevelopment of the Property. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the Property meets the criteria for recording a liability and has recorded an asset retirement obligation aggregating $91,339 (unaudited) and $84,495 as of December 4, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which is included in Other Liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets.



3.     Mortgage Note

On June 17, 2005, the Company entered into a mortgage note agreement (“Mortgage Note”) for
$56,000,000. The Mortgage Note is collateralized by the Property and all of its assets and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.58%. The Mortgage Note matures on July 1, 2015. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Mortgage Note as of December 4, 2012 (unaudited).




NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 (UNAUDITED), DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010 AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 2012 THROUGH DECEMBER 4, 2012 (UNAUDITED), AND YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
