Organization and Ownership

Pacific Office Properties -

The terms “Pacific Office Properties,” “us,” “we,” and “our” as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and joint ventures.  Through our controlling interest in Pacific Office Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, we own, acquire and operate primarily institutional-quality office properties principally in selected long- term growth markets in California and Hawaii.  We operate as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.  We are externally advised by Pacific Office Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Advisor”), an entity owned and controlled by Jay H. Shidler, our Chairman of the Board, and certain related parties of The Shidler Group, which is a business name utilized by a number of affiliates controlled by Jay H. Shidler.  The Advisor is responsible for our day-to-day operation and management.  See Note 12 for a detailed discussion of the Advisor’s role.

Through our Operating Partnership, as of September 30, 2010, we owned eight office properties comprising approximately 2.3 million rentable square feet and interests (ranging from 5% to approximately 32%) in 16 joint venture properties, of which we have managing ownership interests in 15, comprising approximately 2.4 million rentable square feet (the “Property Portfolio”).  As of September 30, 2010, our Property Portfolio included office buildings in Honolulu, San Diego, Orange County, certain submarkets of Los Angeles and Phoenix.  Our property statistics as of September 30, 2010, were as follows:

Transactions -

On March 19, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), Arizona Land Income Corporation, an Arizona corporation (“AZL”), and POP Venture, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Venture”), consummated the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by a Master Formation and Contribution Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2006, as amended (the “Master Agreement”).  As part of the Transactions, AZL merged with and into the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, with the Company being the surviving corporation. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of AZL and substantially all of the commercial real estate assets and liabilities of Venture, which included eight office properties and a 7.5% joint venture interest in one office property (the “Contributed Properties”), were contributed to a newly formed Delaware limited partnership, the Operating Partnership, in which the Company became the sole general partner and Venture became a limited partner with corresponding 18.2% and 81.8% common ownership interests, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 
Basis of Presentation -

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information in accordance with GAAP.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The financial statements of the Company for all periods presented herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.  Further, the interim results of operations for the aforementioned periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might be expected for a given fiscal year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Reclassifications -

Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no corresponding net effect on the previously reported consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Company.  Our consolidated statement of cash flows has been adjusted to separate restricted cash amounts related to operating activities (i.e., tax and insurance reserves) from restricted cash amounts related to investing activities (i.e. capital expenditures). Our consolidated balance sheets have been adjusted to separately present capitalized above-market lease amounts in “Acquired above-market leases, net.” The capitalized above-market lease amounts were previously offset against capitalized below-market lease amounts and included in “Acquired below-market leases, net.”

Principles of Consolidation -

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the account balances and transactions of consolidated subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures -

Our investments in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting because we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, our joint ventures.  Our joint venture partners have substantive participating rights, including approval of and participation in setting operating budgets.  Accordingly, we have determined that the equity method of accounting is appropriate for our investments in joint ventures.

Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted for our proportionate equity in the net income or net loss of the joint ventures, contributions made to, or distributions received from, the joint ventures and other adjustments.  We record distributions of operating profit from our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as part of cash flows from operating activities and distributions related to a capital transaction, such as a refinancing transaction or sale, as investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.  A description of our impairment policy is set forth in this Note 2.

The difference between the initial cost of the investment in our joint ventures included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets of the respective joint ventures (“JV Basis Differential”) is amortized as an adjustment to equity in net income or net loss of the joint ventures in our condensed consolidated statement of operations over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets of the respective joint ventures.

The Company evaluates all investments in accordance with the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities , which was effective January 1, 2010 and which requires ongoing assessments of the investments to determine whether or not they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and if they are VIEs, whether or not the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. The Company would consolidate a VIE if it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary. We use qualitative analyses to determine whether we are the primary  beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors could include, but is not limited to, the purpose and design of the VIE, risks that the VIE was designed to create and pass through, the form of our ownership interest, our representation of the entity’s governing body, the size and seniority of our investment, our ability to participate in policy making decisions, and the rights of the other investors to participate in the decision making process and to replace us as manager and/or liquidate the venture, if applicable.  We currently do not hold any investments in variable interest entities.

Income Taxes -
 
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we currently distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders.  Also, at least 95% of gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources.  We intend to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders.  However, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any.  Management believes that it has distributed and will continue to distribute a sufficient majority of its taxable income in the form of dividends and distributions to its stockholders and unit holders.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recognized by the Company.

Pursuant to the Code, we may elect to treat certain of our newly created corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”).  In general, a TRS may perform non-customary services for our tenants, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business.  A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax.  As of September 30, 2010, none of our subsidiaries had elected to be treated as a TRS.

Earnings (Loss) per Share -

We present both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”).  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.

Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares that would have been outstanding for the period, assuming the issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during such period.

Investments in Real Estate -

We account for acquisitions of real estate utilizing the purchase method and, accordingly, the results of operations of acquired properties are included in our results of operations from the respective dates of acquisition.

Investments in real estate properties are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. A portion of certain assets comprising the Contributed Properties are stated at their historical net cost basis in an amount attributable to the ownership interests in the Contributed Properties owned by Jay H. Shidler. Additions to land, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment and construction in progress are recorded at cost.

Beginning January 1, 2009, transaction costs related to acquisitions are expensed. Costs associated with developing space for its intended use are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives, commencing at the earlier of the lease execution date or the lease commencement date.

Estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques are used to allocate the acquisition cost of acquired properties among land, buildings and improvements, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place at-market leases, acquired above- and below-market leases, and acquired above- and below-market ground leases.

The fair values of real estate assets acquired are determined on an “as-if-vacant” basis.  The “as-if-vacant” fair value is allocated to land, and where applicable, buildings, tenant improvements and equipment based on comparable sales and other relevant information obtained in connection with the acquisition of the property.

Fair value is assigned to above-market and below-market leases based on the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid by the tenant based on the existing lease and (b) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, over the remaining terms of the in-place leases.  Capitalized above- and below-market lease amounts are reflected in “Acquired above-market leases, net” and “Acquired below-market leases, net,” respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Capitalized above-market lease amounts are amortized as a decrease to rental revenue over the remaining initial non-cancellable lease terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options that are considered bargain renewal options.  Capitalized below-market lease amounts are amortized as an increase in rental revenue over the remaining initial non-cancellable lease terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options that are considered bargain renewal options.  If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance, net of the security deposit, of the related intangible is written off.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets consists of acquired in-place leases.  The fair value allocated to acquired in-place leases consists of a variety of components including, but not necessarily limited to: (a) the value associated with avoiding the cost of originating the acquired in-place lease (i.e. the market cost to execute a lease, including leasing commissions and legal fees, if any); (b) the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs estimated to be incurred during the assumed lease-up period (i.e. real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses); (c) the value associated with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed lease-up period; and (d) the value associated with any other inducements to secure a tenant lease.  The value assigned to acquired in-place leases is amortized over the remaining lives of the related leases.

We record   the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed as goodwill.  Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.  An impairment loss for an asset group is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, except that the loss allocated to an individual long-lived asset shall not reduce the carrying amount of that asset below its fair value.  A description of our testing policy is set forth in this Note 2.

In connection with the Transactions, we received a representation from our predecessor, AZL, that it qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Code.  However, during 2009 we became aware that, prior to the consummation of the Transactions, AZL historically invested excess cash from time to time in money market funds that, in turn, were invested primarily in short-term federal government securities.  Additionally, during 2009 we became aware that AZL made two investments in local government obligations.  Our predecessor, AZL, with no objection from outside advisors, treated these investments as qualifying assets for purposes of the 75% gross asset test.  However, if these investments were not qualifying assets for purposes of the 75% gross asset test, then AZL may not have satisfied the REIT gross asset tests for certain quarters, in part, because they may have exceeded 5% of the gross value of AZL’s assets.  These investments resulted in AZL’s noncompliance with the REIT gross asset tests, however, we and our predecessor, AZL, would retain qualification as a REIT pursuant to certain mitigation provisions of the Code. The Code provides that so long as any noncompliance was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, and certain other requirements are met, qualification as a REIT may be retained but a penalty tax would be owed.  Any potential noncompliance with the gross asset tests would be due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect so long as ordinary business care and prudence were exercised in attempting to satisfy such tests.  Based on our review of the circumstances surrounding the investments, we believe that any noncompliance was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect.  Additionally, we believe that we have complied with the other requirements of the mitigation provisions of the Code with respect to such potential noncompliance with the gross asset tests (and have paid the appropriate penalty tax), and, therefore, our qualification, and that of our predecessor, AZL, as a REIT should not be affected.  The Internal Revenue Service is not bound by our determination, however, and no assurance can be provided that the Internal Revenue Service will not assert that AZL failed to comply with the REIT gross asset tests as a result of the money market fund investments and the local government securities investments and that such failures were not due to reasonable cause.  If the Internal Revenue Service were to successfully challenge this position, then it could determine that we and AZL failed to qualify as a REIT in one or more of our taxable years.  As a result, we recorded an adjustment to and finalized the purchase price allocation we previously recorded upon consummation of the Transactions. This adjustment resulted in an increase to goodwill by approximately $0.5 million in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009.

Mortgage and Other Loans -

Mortgage and other loans assumed upon acquisition of related real estate properties are stated at estimated fair value upon their respective dates of assumption, net of unamortized discounts or premiums to their outstanding contractual balances.

Amortization of discount and the accretion of premiums on mortgage and other loans assumed upon acquisition of related real estate properties are recognized from the date of assumption through their contractual maturity date using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Depreciation and Amortization -

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful lives which range from 18 to 42 years.  Tenant improvement costs recorded as capital assets are depreciated over the shorter of (i) the tenant’s remaining lease term or (ii) the life of the improvement.  Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over three to seven years.  Properties that are acquired that are subject to ground leases are depreciated over the remaining life of the related leases as of the date of assumption of the lease.

Revenue Recognition –

 
The following four criteria must be met before we recognize revenue and gains:
 
 
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
 
 
the delivery has occurred or services rendered;
 
 
the fee is fixed and determinable; and
 
 
collectibility is reasonably assured.

All of our tenant leases are classified as operating leases.  For all leases with scheduled rent increases or other adjustments, minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.  Straight-line rent receivable represents rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of billed rents and this amount is included in “Rents and other receivables, net” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, excise taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable costs are incurred.

We have leased space to certain tenants under non-cancelable operating leases, which provide for percentage rents based upon tenant revenues.  Percentage rental income is recorded in rental revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Rental revenue from parking operations and month-to-month leases or leases with no scheduled rent increases or other adjustments is recognized on a monthly basis when earned.

Lease termination fees, net of the write-off of associated intangible assets and liabilities and straight-line rent balances which are included in other revenues of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, are recognized when the related leases are canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.

Other revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations generally includes income incidental to our operations and is recognized when earned.

Cash and Cash Equivalents -

We consider all short-term cash investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of preparing our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

We maintain cash balances in various financial institutions.  At times, the amounts of cash held in financial institutions may exceed the maximum amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  We do not believe that we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash -

Restricted cash includes escrow accounts for real property taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and tenant improvements, debt service and leasing costs held by lenders.

Impairment -

We assess the potential for impairment of our long-lived assets, including real estate properties, whenever events occur or a change in circumstances indicate that the recorded value might not be fully recoverable.  We determine whether impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to its carrying value.  If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, the real estate or intangible carrying value is reduced to fair value and impairment loss is recognized.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.  Based upon such periodic assessments, no indications of impairment were identified for the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred.  The assessment of impairment involves a two-step process whereby an initial assessment for potential impairment is performed, followed by a measurement of the amount of impairment, if any. Impairment testing is performed using the fair value approach, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, at the “reporting unit” level.  A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business that is one level below the operating segment if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at that level.  The determination of a reporting unit’s fair value is based on management’s best estimate, which generally considers the market-based earning multiples of the unit’s peer companies or expected future cash flows.  If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.  An impairment is recognized as a charge against income equal to the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied value on the date of the impairment.  As of September 30, 2010, nothing has come to our attention to cause us to believe that our carrying amount of goodwill is impaired.  The factors that may cause an impairment in goodwill include, but may not be limited to, a sustained decline in our stock price and the occurrence, or sustained existence, of adverse economic conditions.

Impairment of Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures -

Our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is subject to a periodic impairment review and is considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary.  An investment in an unconsolidated joint venture that we identify as having an indicator of impairment is subject to further analysis to determine if the investment is other than temporarily impaired, in which case we write down the investment to its estimated fair value.  We did not recognize an impairment loss on our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Repairs, Maintenance and Major Improvements -

The costs of ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred. Major improvements that extend the life of an asset are generally capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.  Various lenders have required us to maintain reserve accounts for the funding of future repairs and capital expenditures, and the balances of these accounts are classified as restricted cash on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Tenant Receivables -

Tenant receivables are recorded and carried at the amount billable per the applicable lease agreement, less any allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amounts is no longer considered probable. Tenant receivables are included in “Rents and other receivables, net,” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. If a tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize bad debt expense in future periods equal to the amount of unpaid rent and deferred rent.  We take into consideration factors to evaluate the level of reserve necessary, including historical termination, default activity and current economic conditions.  At September 30, 2010, the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.9 million, compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2009.

Preferred Units -

Preferred Units have fixed rights to distributions at an annual rate of 2% of their liquidation preference of $25 per Preferred Unit. Accordingly, income or loss of the Operating Partnership is allocated among the general partner interest and limited partner common interests after taking into consideration distribution rights allocable to the Preferred Units.  As a result of changes to the redemption features on December 30, 2009, we recorded an increase in the recorded amount of the Preferred Units to their current fair value.  See Note 11 for additional detail.

Deferred Loan Fees -

Deferred loan fees include fees and costs incurred in conjunction with long-term financings and are amortized over the terms of the related debt. Deferred loan fees are included in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Amortization of deferred loan fees is included in interest in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Equity Offering Costs -

Costs from potential equity offerings are reflected in other assets, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and will be reclassified as a reduction in additional paid-in capital upon successful completion of the offering, if any.  Costs include legal, accounting, marketing and other professional fees associated with the offerings.  If an equity offering is abandoned or delayed for more than 90 days, the costs recorded on the balance sheet will be expensed.

Leasing Commissions -

Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease, and are reflected in intangible assets, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The payment of leasing commissions is included in cash used in investing activities on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows because we believe that paying leasing commissions for good tenants is a prudent investment in increasing the value of our income-producing assets.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements -

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 reported periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation -

All share-based payments to employees, including directors, are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values.  We recognize share-based compensation in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation . In accordance with FASB ASC 718, we determine the fair value of the share-based compensation grants on the respective grant dates, and recognize to expense the fair value of the grants over the employees’ or directors’ requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. If the grants vest immediately, we expense the fair value of the grant in full on the grant date. The fair value of the share-based payment awards are generally based on the Company’s Listed Common Stock price on the date of grant.   See Note 13 for a more detailed discussion.

Non-controlling Interests –

We account for non-controlling interests in accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidation . In accordance with FASB ASC 810, we report non-controlling interests in subsidiaries within equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent stockholders’ equity. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as a reduction from net income in calculating net income available to common stockholders on the statement of operations.  Acquisitions or dispositions of non-controlling interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, FASB ASC 810 requires that a parent company recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated upon a change in control. In accordance with FASB ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , non-controlling interests that are determined to be redeemable are carried at their redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as temporary equity. The Company periodically evaluates individual non-controlling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the non-controlling interest as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any non-controlling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (a) the carrying amount, or (b) its redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made, the resulting adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Segments -

We own and operate office properties in the western United States.  We have concentrated initially on two long-term growth submarkets, Honolulu and the western United States mainland (in particular, southern California and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area).  We consider each of our properties to be an operating segment.  We aggregate the operating segments into two geographic segments on the basis of how the properties are managed and how our chief operating decision maker allocates resources and their similar economic characteristics.  See Note 14 for additional details.

_________
(a)
The total earnings of all the respective joint ventures of the Company, for all periods presented, are in a loss position. However, the equity in net earnings of the joint ventures attributable to the Company is positive for all periods presented. This occurs because the Company’s effective ownership in the various joint ventures ranges from 5% to 32.2% and therefore only a portion of the losses of the joint ventures is attributable to the Company. In addition, the Company earns a priority return which in the case of most of the joint ventures exceeds the attributable losses, resulting in net earnings attributable to the Company.

The loan secured by the City Square property has matured and we have not repaid the principal balance.  The Company signed a forbearance agreement with the lender on October 15, 2010.  Under the forbearance agreement, the default interest of 5% in excess of the stated rate and late charge penalties in the amount of approximately $1.9 million  will be forgiven if the loan is repaid in full prior to the expiration of the forbearance period, which is the earliest to occur of five business days following the completion of our proposed public offering of Listed Common Stock, certain breaches or defaults by us under the forbearance agreement or loan documents, and January 14, 2011 (refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion).

(c)
The loan secured by a pledge of the ownership interests in the entities owning the City Square property has matured and we have not repaid the principal balance.  As a result, interest is being incurred at the default rate of LIBOR + 7.35%.  The Company is currently in negotiations with the lender. The Company had an interest rate cap on this loan for the notional amount of $28.5 million, which effectively limited the LIBOR rate on this loan to 7.45%.  The interest rate cap expired on September 1, 2010, commensurate with the maturity date of the loan.

(d)
The terms of the Clifford Center loan provide the Company with the option to extend the maturity date to August 15, 2014 subject to a nominal fee.

(e)
The revolving line of credit matures on December 31, 2013.  Amounts borrowed under the FHB Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating annual rate equal to the effective rate of interest paid by the lender on time certificates of deposit, plus 1.00%.  See “Revolving Line of Credit” below.


The lenders’ collateral for notes payable, with the exception of the Clifford Center note payable, is the property and, in some instances, cash reserve accounts, ownership interests in the underlying entity owning the real property, leasehold interests in certain ground leases, rights under certain service agreements, and letters of credit posted by certain related parties of the Company.  The lenders’ collateral for the Clifford Center note payable is the leasehold property as well as guarantees from affiliates of the Company.

Revolving Line of Credit -

On September 2, 2009, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “FHB Credit Facility”) with First Hawaiian Bank (the “Lender”).  The FHB Credit Facility initially provided us with a revolving line of credit in the principal sum of $10 million.  On December 31, 2009, we amended the FHB Credit Facility to increase the maximum principal amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit to $15 million.  On May 25, 2010, we entered into an amendment with the Lender to increase the maximum principal amount available for borrowing thereunder from $15 million to $25 million and to extend the maturity date from September 2, 2011 to December 31, 2013.  Amounts borrowed under the FHB Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating annual rate equal to the effective rate of interest paid by the Lender on time certificates of deposit, plus 1.00%.  We are permitted to use the proceeds of the line of credit for working capital and general corporate purposes, consistent with our real estate operations and for such other purposes as the Lender may approve.  As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $22.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively, under the FHB Credit Facility.

As security for the FHB Credit Facility, as amended, Shidler Equities, L.P., a Hawaii limited partnership controlled by Mr. Shidler (“Shidler LP”), has pledged to the Lender a certificate of deposit in the principal amount of $25.0 million.  As a condition to this pledge, the Operating Partnership and Shidler LP entered into an indemnification agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Shidler LP from any losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Shidler LP in connection with the pledge.  In addition, to the extent that all or any portion of the certificate of deposit is withdrawn by the Lender and applied to the payment of principal, interest and/or charges under the FHB Credit Facility, the Operating Partnership agreed to pay to Shidler LP interest on the withdrawn amount at a rate of 7.0% per annum from the date of the withdrawal until the date of repayment in full by the Operating Partnership to Shidler LP.  Pursuant to this indemnification agreement, as amended, the Operating Partnership also agreed to pay to Shidler LP an annual fee of 2.0% of the entire $25.0 million principal amount of the certificate of deposit.

The FHB Credit Facility contains various customary covenants, including covenants relating to disclosure of financial and other information to the Lender, maintenance and performance of our material contracts, our maintenance of adequate insurance, payment of the Lender’s fees and expenses, and other customary terms and conditions.

Unsecured Notes Payable to Related Parties

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had promissory notes payable by the Operating Partnership to certain affiliates in the aggregate principal amount of $21.1 million, respectively, which were originally issued to fund certain capital improvements upon the completion of the Transactions and upon the exercise of an option granted to us by Venture and its affiliates as part of the Transactions.  The promissory notes accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum, with interest payable quarterly, subject to the Operating Partnership’s right to defer the payment of interest for any or all periods up until the date of maturity.  The promissory notes mature on various dates commencing on March 19, 2013 through August 31, 2013, but the Operating Partnership may elect to extend maturity for one additional year.  Maturity accelerates upon the occurrence of a) an underwritten public offering of at least $75 million of our common stock; b) the sale of substantially all the assets of the Company; or c) the merger of the Company with another entity.  The promissory notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership.

On September 23, 2009, the Operating Partnership entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain of our affiliates (collectively, the “Transferors”).  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, on September 25, 2009, certain unsecured subordinated promissory notes, in the aggregate outstanding amount (including principal and accrued interest) of approximately $3.0 million, issued by the Operating Partnership to the Transferors were exchanged for 789,095 shares of our Listed Common Stock.  The price per share of the Company’s Listed Common Stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was $3.82, which represented the volume-weighted average closing market price per share of the Company’s Listed Common Stock on the NYSE Amex for the thirty trading days preceding the date of the Exchange Agreement.

For the period from March 20, 2008 through September 30, 2010, interest payments on the unsecured notes payable to related parties have been deferred with the exception of $0.3 million which was related to the notes exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.  At September 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, $3.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of accrued interest attributable to unsecured notes payable to related parties is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments and Contingencies

 
Minimum Future Ground Rents -

We hold long-term ground leasehold interests in our Clifford Center and Waterfront Plaza properties.  The Clifford Center property ground lease expires May 31, 2035.  The annual rental obligation is a combination of a base rent amount plus 3% of base rental income from tenants. On June 1, 2016 and 2026, the annual rental obligation will reset to an amount equal to the greater of (i) 6% of the fair market value of the land, and (ii) the ground rent payable for the prior period.

The Waterfront Plaza ground lease expires December 31, 2060.  The annual rental obligation has fixed increases at 5-year intervals until it resets on January 1, 2036, 2041, 2046, 2051, and 2056 to an amount equal to the greater of (i) 8.0% of the fair market value of the land and (ii) the ground rent payable for the prior period.

 
Contingencies -

From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  These matters are generally covered by insurance, subject to deductibles and other customary limitations on recoveries.  We believe that the ultimate settlement of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations or cash flows.

Concentration of Credit Risk -

Our operating properties are located in Honolulu, San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County and Phoenix.  The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate.  No single tenant accounts for 10% or more of our total annualized base rents.  We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants for potential credit losses.

Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable and an interest rate contract.  We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on deposit with what management believes are relatively stable financial institutions.  Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the maximum amount; and, to date, we have not experienced any losses on our invested cash.  Restricted cash held by lenders is held by those lenders in accounts maintained at major financial institutions.

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations -

We record a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation, defined as a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within a company’s control, when the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated.  Depending on the age of the construction, certain properties in our portfolio may contain non-friable asbestos.  If these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished, certain environmental regulations are in place, which specify the manner in which the asbestos, if present, must be handled and disposed. Based on our evaluation of the physical condition and attributes of certain of our properties acquired in the Transactions, we recorded conditional asset retirement obligations related to asbestos removal.  As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for conditional asset retirement obligations was $0.3 million for both periods.  The accretion expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was not significant.

Clifford Center Ground Lease -

We are subject to a surrender clause under the Clifford Center property ground lease that provides the lessor with the right to require us, at our own expense, to raze and remove all improvements from the leased land if we have not complied with certain other provisions of the ground lease.  These provisions require us to:  (1) only make significant improvements or alterations to the building under the supervision of a licensed architect and/or structural engineer with lessor’s written approval; (2) comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; and (3) comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding the handling and use of hazardous materials.  The requirement to remove the improvements is contingent, first, on our failure to comply with the terms of the lease and, second, upon the cost of compliance with the lease exceeding the estimated value of the improvements.  To our knowledge, we are in substantial compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all work is supervised by licensed professionals, and we are not aware of any violations of laws regarding the handling or use of hazardous materials at the Clifford Center property.  If we fail to satisfy any of these requirements in the future, the obligation is subject to the lessor’s decision to require the improvements to be removed.  We intend to satisfy the requirements of the agreement.

Waterfront Plaza Ground Lease -

We are subject to a surrender clause under the Waterfront Plaza ground lease that provides the lessor with the right to require us, at our own expense, to raze and remove all improvements from the leased land, contingent on the lessor’s decision at the time the ground lease expires on December 31, 2060.  Accordingly, as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for this asset retirement obligation was $0.3 million for both periods. The accretion expense was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Environmental Matters -

We follow the policy of monitoring our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances.  While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.  Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability other than our conditional asset retirement obligations that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

Purchase Commitments -

We are required by certain leases and loan agreements to complete tenant and building improvements.  As of September 30, 2010, this amount is projected to be $8.1 million, of which $1.4 million will be funded through reserves currently classified as restricted cash.  We anticipate that our reserves, as well as other sources of liquidity, including existing cash on hand, our cash flows from operations, financing and investing activities will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures.

   Tax Protection Arrangements -

A sale of any of the Contributed Properties that would not provide continued tax deferral to Venture is prohibited under the Master Agreement and the contribution agreements for such properties for ten years after the Effective Date.  In addition, we have agreed that, during such ten-year period, we will not prepay or defease any mortgage indebtedness of such properties, other than in connection with a concurrent refinancing with non-recourse mortgage debt of an equal or greater amount and subject to certain other restrictions.  Furthermore, if any such sale or defeasance is foreseeable, we are required to notify Venture and to cooperate with it in considering strategies to defer or mitigate the recognition of gain under the Code by any of the equity interest holders of the recipient of the Operating Partnership units.

Indemnities -

On September 1, 2010, non-recourse loans in the amounts of $27.5 million (Senior Note secured by our City Square property in Phoenix) and $27.3 million (Mezzanine Note secured by a pledge of ownership interests in the entities owning the City Square property) matured.  On October 15, 2010, we signed a forbearance agreement with the lender of the Senior Note.  We continue to seek a loan workout agreement with the lender of the Mezzanine Note, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful. We intend to repay the Senior Note and the Mezzanine Note from the proceeds of our proposed registered public offering of Listed Common Stock (see Note 16 for further information regarding this offering), but there can be no assurance that this offering will be completed. The Mezzanine Note was also secured, in part, by the posting of certain letters of credit by James C. Reynolds and Shidler LP in the aggregate amount of $3.7 million. On October 20, 2010, the lender collected against these letters of credit. Pursuant to an indemnity agreement entered into on March 19, 2008 in connection with the Transactions, the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Mr. Reynolds and Shidler LP for any losses under the letters of credit. Mr. Reynolds is a director and stockholder of the Advisor, and holds over 10% of the Company’s outstanding Listed Common Stock. Shidler LP is controlled by Jay H. Shidler, the Chairman of our Board of Directors.
 
The mortgage debt that we maintain for our consolidated properties and unconsolidated joint venture properties is typically property-specific debt that is non-recourse to our Operating Partnership, except for customary recourse carve-outs for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities. The recourse liability for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities was guaranteed by Mr. Reynolds or, with respect to one loan, Mr. Shidler. Our Operating Partnership has agreed to indemnify Messrs. Reynolds and Shidler to the extent of their guaranty liability. This debt strategy isolates mortgage liabilities in separate, stand-alone entities, allowing us to have only our property-specific equity investment at risk, except to the extent of the recourse carve-outs. In management’s judgment, it would be unlikely for us to incur any material liability under these indemnities that would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Forbearance of Default Interest and Penalties on Matured Indebtedness -

As noted above, our City Square Senior Note matured September 1, 2010.  We had not repaid this indebtedness as of September 30, 2010.  On October 15, 2010, we signed a forbearance agreement with the lender of the City Square Senior Note pursuant to which default interest of 5% in excess of the stated rate and late charge penalties in the amount of approximately $1.9 million will be forgiven if the loan is repaid in full prior to the expiration of the forbearance period, which is the earliest to occur of five business days following the completion of our proposed public offering of Listed Common Stock, certain breaches or defaults by us under the forbearance agreement or loan documents, and January 14, 2011 . We have not accrued the aggregate amount of these fees and interest at September 30, 2010 because we expect to satisfy the conditions of the forbearance agreement when we repay the matured loans from the proceeds of our proposed registered public offering of Listed Common Stock, but there can be no assurance that this offering will be completed.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders includes Senior Common Stock dividends of $53 thousand.

Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) -

Our common stock listed on NYSE Amex (the “Listed Common Stock”) and Class B Common Stock are identical in all respects, except that in the event of liquidation the Class B Common Stock will not be entitled to any portion of our net assets, which will be allocated and distributed to the holders of the Listed Common Stock. Shares of our Listed Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class and each share is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon by our stockholders.  Dividends on the Listed Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are payable at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

On January 12, 2010, we commenced a registered continuous public offering of up to 40,000,000 shares of our Senior Common Stock, which ranks senior to our Listed Common Stock and Class B Common Stock with respect to dividends and distribution of amounts upon liquidation.  It has a $10.00 per share (plus accrued and unpaid dividends) liquidation preference.  Subject to the preferential rights of any future series of preferred shares, holders of Senior Common Stock will be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, cumulative cash dividends in an amount per share equal to a minimum of $0.725 per share per annum, payable monthly.  Should the dividend payable on the Listed Common Stock exceed its current rate of $0.20 per share per annum, the Senior Common Stock dividend would increase by 25% of the amount by which the Listed Common Stock dividend exceeds $0.20 per share per annum.  Holders of Senior Common Stock have the right to vote on all matters presented to stockholders as a single class with holders of the Listed Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock and the Company’s outstanding share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock (as discussed below).  Each share of the Company’s Listed Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock and the Senior Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon by the Company’s stockholders.  Shares of Senior Common Stock may be exchanged, at the option of the holder, for shares of Listed Common Stock after the fifth anniversary of the issuance of such shares of Senior Common Stock.  The exchange ratio to be calculated using a value for our Listed Common Stock based on the average of the trailing 30-day closing price of the Listed Common Stock on the date the shares are submitted for exchange, but in no event less than $1.00 per share, and a value for the Senior Common Stock of $10.00 per share.  We issued 596,611 shares of Senior Common Stock for net proceeds of $5.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. We issued 66,783 shares of Senior Common Stock for net proceeds of $0.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, we had a total of 663,394 shares of our Senior Common Stock issued and outstanding.
 
Our Advisor has determined that the aggregate fair market value of our equity classes junior to the Senior Common Stock (calculated as described in the prospectus for the offering of Senior Common Stock) exceeds $100 million, and accordingly, that the estimated fair market value of the Senior Common Stock is its liquidation preference of $10.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Non-controlling Interests –

Non-controlling interests include the interests in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Company, which amounted to all of the Preferred Units and 78.32% of the Common Units outstanding as of September 30, 2010.  On August 4, 2010 our Operating Partnership redeemed 198,263 Common Units with a book value of $0.6 million for consideration of $0.9 million. The resulting difference of $0.3 million was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid in capital and cumulative deficit in accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidation . In accordance with FASB ASC 810, the redemption of a non-controlling interest that does not result in a change in control is considered to be an equity transaction with no gain or loss recorded on the redemption. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, no Preferred Units were redeemed or issued. As of September 30, 2010, 46,698,532 shares of our Listed Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon redemption of outstanding Common Units and Preferred Units.

The partnership interests of the Operating Partnership are divided into (i) the general partnership interest and (ii) the limited partnership interests, consisting of Common Units and Preferred Units. The general partnership interest ownership percentage is determined by dividing the number of Listed Common Stock by the total number of Listed Common Stock plus the Common Units outstanding.

Upon initial issuance in March 2008, each Preferred Unit was convertible into 7.1717 Common Units, but no earlier than the later of (i) March 19, 2010, and (ii) the date we consummate an underwritten public offering (of at least $75 million) of our common stock. Upon conversion of the Preferred Units to Common Units, the Common Units were redeemable by the holders on a one-for-one basis for shares of our Listed Common Stock or cash, as elected by the Company, but no earlier than one year after the date of their conversion from Preferred Units to Common Units. The Preferred Units have fixed rights to annual distributions at an annual rate of 2% of their liquidation preference of $25 per Preferred Unit and priority over Common Units in the event of a liquidation of the Operating Partnership. At September 30, 2010, the cumulative unpaid distributions attributable to Preferred Units were $0.6 million.

On December 30, 2009, we amended certain provisions of the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) relating to the redemption rights of the Common Units and Preferred Units.  The Common Units issued on the Effective Date were reclassified as Class B Common Units, which are redeemable by the holder on a one-for-one basis for shares of Listed Common Stock or a new class of Common Units, designated Class C Common Units, which have no redemption rights, as elected by a majority of our independent directors.  All other outstanding Common Units were reclassified as Class A Common Units, which are redeemable by the holders on a one-for-one basis for shares of Listed Common Stock or cash, as elected by a majority of our independent directors.  If converted, the Preferred Units will convert into Class B Common Units.  Furthermore, the Preferred Unit put option was modified by eliminating the various alternative currencies possible upon exercise of the put and permitting only the issuance of new preferred units in settlement of an exercised put.  The modification of the terms of the Preferred Units was more than inconsequential and therefore triggered a revaluation of the Preferred Units to their fair value on the modification date.  As a result of the amendments to the Partnership Agreement, the Non-Controlling Interests attributable to the Common Units and Preferred Units were reclassified from mezzanine equity to permanent equity on the consolidated balance sheet.  Simultaneously, the excess of market value over carrying value for the Preferred Units was booked as a fair value adjustment of Preferred Units on the consolidated statement of operations.

Common Units of all classes and Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership do not have any right to vote on any matters presented to our stockholders. As part of the Transactions, we issued to the Advisor one share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock (the “Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock”), which entitles the Advisor to vote on all matters on which the common stockholders are entitled to vote.  The number of votes that the Advisor is entitled to cast equals the total number of shares of Listed Common Stock issuable upon redemption for shares of the Common Units and Preferred Units issued in connection with the Transactions.  This number will decrease to the extent that these Operating Partnership units are redeemed for shares of Listed Common Stock in the future. The number will not increase in the event of future unit issuances by the Operating Partnership.  The Advisor has agreed to vote the Proportional Voting Preferred Stock as directed by Venture, the holder of these Operating Partnership units. As of September 30, 2010, that share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock represented 91.0% of our voting power.  The Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock has no dividend rights and minimal rights to distributions in the event of liquidation.  The Company has the option to redeem the Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock at the Company’s election if the Advisory Agreement is terminated and the Company becomes self-advised.

As of September 30, 2010, Venture owned 46,173,693 shares of our Listed Common Stock assuming that all Operating Partnership units were fully redeemed for shares on such date, notwithstanding the restrictions on redemption noted above.  Assuming the immediate redemption of all the Operating Partnership units held by Venture, Venture and its related parties control approximately 93.7% and 94.7% of the total economic interest and voting power, respectively, in the Company.

 
Loss per Share -

We present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the number of common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during each period. Net income or loss in the Operating Partnership is allocated in accordance with the Partnership Agreement among our general partner and limited partner Common Unit holders in accordance with their weighted average ownership percentages in the Operating Partnership of 21.35% and 78.65%, respectively, after taking into consideration the priority distributions allocated to the limited partner preferred unit holders in the Operating Partnership.

Approximately 47,615 non-vested restricted stock units, 32,597,528 shares of Listed Common Stock which may be issued upon redemption of Preferred Units, and 275,483 shares of Senior Common Stock, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and  approximately 47,615 non-vested restricted stock units, 32,597,528 shares of Listed Common Stock which may be issued upon redemption of Preferred Units, and 99,309 shares of Senior Common Stock, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010,were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive due to our net loss position.

 
Approximately 52,630 non-vested restricted stock units and 32,597,528 shares of Listed Common Stock which may be issued upon redemption of Preferred Units for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and approximately 52,630 non-vested restricted stock units and 32,597,528 shares of Listed Common Stock which may be issued upon redemption of Preferred Units for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive due to our net loss position.  Refer to “Equity” section of this footnote for the redemption and conversion terms and conditions of the Preferred Units and Senior Common Stock.

Related Party Transactions

We are externally advised by our Advisor, an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Shidler and by its directors and officers, certain of whom are also our executive officers and who own substantial beneficial interests in our Company. Pursuant to our Advisory Agreement, our Advisor is entitled to an annual corporate management fee of one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the gross cost basis of our total property portfolio (less accumulated depreciation and amortization), but in no event less than $1.5 million per annum.  Although we are responsible for all direct expenses incurred by us for certain services for which we are the primary service obligee, our Advisor bears the cost and is not reimbursed by us for any expenses incurred by it in the course of performing operational advisory services for us, which expenses include, but are not limited to, salaries and wages, office rent, equipment costs, travel costs, insurance costs, telecommunications and supplies.  The corporate management fee is subject to reduction of up to $750,000 based upon the amounts of the direct costs that we bear. Additionally, our Advisor and its affiliates are entitled to receive property management fees of 2.5% to 4.5% of the rental cash receipts collected by the properties, leasing fees consistent with the prevailing market as well as property transaction fees in an amount equal to 1% of the contract price of any acquired or disposed property; however, such property management fees, leasing fees, and property transaction fees must be consistent with prevailing market rates for similar services provided on an arms-length basis in the area in which the subject property is located.

The Advisor is also entitled to certain fees related to any placement of debt or equity that we may undertake, including (i) 0.50% of the total amount of co-investment equity capital procured, (ii) 0.50% of the total gross offering proceeds including, but not limited to, the issuance or placement of equity securities and the issuance of Operating Partnership units, and (iii) 0.50% of the principal amount of any new indebtedness related to properties that we wholly own, and on properties owned in a joint venture with co-investment partners or entity-level financings, as well as on amounts available on our credit facilities and on the principal amount of indebtedness we may issue.

    Related Party Financing Transactions -

On August 19, 2009, we entered into an interim financing agreement with Shidler LP.  Upon execution, Shidler LP provided us with a principal sum of $3.0 million, bearing interest of 7.0% per annum.  The maturity date of the note was ninety days following the date of the promissory note.  We repaid the $3.0 million note on September 22, 2009, which included an insignificant amount of interest.

On September 2, 2009, as security for the FHB Credit Facility, Shidler LP pledged to the Lender (the “Shidler LP Pledge”) a certificate of deposit in the principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Certificate of Deposit”).  As a condition to the Shidler LP Pledge, our Operating Partnership and Shidler LP entered into an Indemnification Agreement, effective as of September 2, 2009 (the “Indemnification Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to indemnify Shidler LP from any losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Shidler LP in connection with the Shidler LP Pledge.  In addition, to the extent that all or any portion of the Certificate of Deposit is withdrawn by the Lender and applied to the payment of principal, interest and/or charges under the FHB Credit Facility, we agreed to pay to Shidler LP interest on the withdrawn amount at a rate of 7.0% per annum from the date of the withdrawal until the date of repayment in full to Shidler LP.  Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, we also agreed to pay to Shidler LP an annual fee of 2.0% of the entire principal amount of the Certificate of Deposit.  As of December 30, 2009, the amount of the security was increased to $15.0 million and subsequently further increased to $25.0 million on May 25, 2010.  See Note 8 for more discussion on the FHB Credit Facility.

On May 17, 2010, the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to its indemnity agreement dated as of March 19, 2008 with James C. Reynolds.  Pursuant to the original agreement, the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Mr. Reynolds with respect to all of his obligations under certain guaranties provided by Mr. Reynolds to lenders of indebtedness encumbering properties contributed to the Operating Partnership on the Effective Date in connection with the Transactions.  Pursuant to the amendment, the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Mr. Reynolds with respect to guaranties provided by him with respect to indebtedness encumbering certain additional properties acquired after the Effective Date.  Mr. Reynolds is the beneficial owner of approximately 12% of our Listed Common Stock, and is a director and stockholder of our Advisor.

On September 3, 2010, our Operating Partnership assumed, through the exercise of an option with our Advisor, all of the rights and obligations of our Advisor under two Sale, Purchase and Escrow Agreements, each dated as of August 12, 2010 and amended as of August 30, 2010, referred to collectively as the PSAs, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the GRE portfolio.  The GRE portfolio consists of 12 office properties comprising approximately 1.9 million rentable square feet located primarily in southern California.  Upon the assumption of the PSAs, our Operating Partnership delivered $3.0 million into escrow to replace the deposits initially made by our Advisor pursuant to the PSAs, and our Advisor was refunded from escrow deposits in the amount of $3.0 million that it had previously funded.  Our Operating Partnership paid no other consideration to the Advisor in connection with the exercise of the option.

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $3.8 million and $2.6 million of accrued interest attributable to unsecured notes payable to related parties, respectively, is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9 for a detailed discussion on these notes payable.

Segment Reporting

We own, acquire and operate primarily institutional-quality office properties principally in selected long-term growth markets in California and Hawaii. We are aggregating our operations by geographic region into two reportable segments (Honolulu and the Western United States mainland) based on the similar economic characteristics of the properties located in each of these regions. The products at all our properties include primarily rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental.  We also have certain corporate level income and expenses related to our credit facility and legal, accounting, finance and management activities, which are not considered separate operating segments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We are required to disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. We measure and disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows: 1) using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, 2) “significant other observable inputs” and 3) “significant unobservable inputs.” “Significant other observable inputs” can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. “Significant unobservable inputs” are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, since there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The fair market value of debt is determined using the trading price of public debt or a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile, including the Company’s non-performance risk. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. We calculate the fair value of our mortgage and other loans, and unsecured notes payable by using “significant other observable inputs” such as available market information and discounted cash flows analyses based on borrowing rates we believe we could obtain with similar terms and maturities. Because the valuations of our financial instruments are based on these types of estimates, the actual fair value of our financial instruments may differ materially if our estimates do not prove to be accurate. Additionally, the use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.  The carrying value of the FHB Credit Facility approximates its fair value.

At September 30, 2010, the carrying value (excluding accrued interest) and estimated fair value of the mortgage and other loans (excluding the Pacific Business News Building and City Square loans currently in default with a total carrying value of $66.4 million for which we cannot practically determine the fair value) were $353.3 million and $350.2 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2009, the carrying value (excluding accrued interest) and estimated fair value of the mortgage and other loans were $406.4 million and $375.2 million, respectively.  At September 30, 2010, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the unsecured notes payable to related parties were $24.9 million (principal of $21.1 million and accrued interest of $3.8 million) and $25.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the carrying value and estimated fair value of the unsecured notes payable to related parties were $23.7 million (principal of $21.1 million and accrued interest of $2.6 million) and $23.1 million, respectively.

Subsequent Events

On October 4, 2010 the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a proposed public offering of our Listed Common Stock having a maximum aggregate offering price of $408.25 million.  The registration statement has not yet been declared effective and there can be no assurance that the offering will be completed.
 
On October 15, 2010, we entered into a forbearance agreement with the lender of the senior loan secured by our City Square property.  This loan, having an outstanding principal amount of $27.5 million, matured on September 1, 2010 and we have not repaid the principal balance.  Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, the default interest of 5% in excess of the stated rate and late charge penalties in the amount of approximately $1.9 million will be forgiven if the loan is repaid in full prior to the expiration of the forbearance period, which is the earliest to occur of five business days following the completion of our proposed public offering of Listed Common Stock, certain breaches or defaults by us under the forbearance agreement or loan documents, and January 14, 2011.

The Mezzanine Note secured by a pledge of the ownership interests in the entities owning the City Square property has matured and we have not repaid the principal balance.  This Mezzanine Note was also secured, in part, by the posting of certain letters of credit by James C. Reynolds and Shidler LP in the aggregate amount of $3.7 million. On October 20, 2010, the lender collected against these letters of credit. Pursuant to an indemnity agreement entered into on March 19, 2008 in connection with the Transactions, the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Mr. Reynolds and Shidler LP for any losses under the letters of credit. Mr. Reynolds is a director and stockholder of the Advisor, and holds over 10% of the Company’s outstanding Listed Common Stock. Shidler LP is controlled by Jay H. Shidler, the Chairman of our Board of Directors.


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

Furthermore, we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes.

Overview –
 
We are a publicly traded REIT that owns, acquires and operates primarily institutional-quality office properties principally in selected long-term growth markets in California and Hawaii. We currently own eight office properties comprising approximately 2.3 million rentable square feet. We also own interests (ranging from 5% to approximately 32%) in 16 joint venture properties, of which we have managing ownership interests in 15, comprising approximately 2.4 million rentable square feet. In addition, we are party to two purchase contracts to acquire a portfolio of 12 office properties comprising approximately 1.9 million rentable square feet located primarily in southern California, which we refer to as the GRE portfolio.  Upon completion of the acquisition of the GRE portfolio, we will own 36 office properties, including the interests in our joint venture properties, comprising approximately 6.6 million rentable square feet in 76 buildings. Our primary business objectives are to achieve sustainable long-term growth in net asset value, funds from operations, or FFO, per share and dividends per share. We intend to achieve these objectives through both internal and external growth initiatives.

Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc
 
We are externally advised by Pacific Office Management, Inc., referred to as our Advisor, an entity owned and controlled by Jay H. Shidler, our Chairman of the Board, and certain related parties of The Shidler Group, which is a business name utilized by a number of affiliates of Mr. Shidler.  The Advisor is responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the Company.
 
We were formed in 2008 as a continuation of The Shidler Group’s successful 30-year history of operations in the western United States and Hawaii. Our formation was accomplished through a reverse merger into a publicly traded REIT, AZL, whose common stock was listed and traded on the American Stock Exchange. Concurrent with the merger, we changed our name to Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc. and reincorporated in the State of Maryland.
 
We currently own office buildings in Honolulu, San Diego, Orange County, certain submarkets of Los Angeles and Phoenix. Upon the completion of our contemplated acquisition of the GRE portfolio, we will expand to the San Francisco Bay Area. We intend to target future acquisitions in the San Francisco Bay Area and all of our current markets with the exception of Phoenix. We refer to these markets as our target markets. We believe that our target markets provide us with attractive long-term return opportunities and that our integrated operating platform, market knowledge and industry relationships give us an advantage relative to many of our competitors.
 
We believe that the current dislocation in the commercial real estate market and the economic conditions in our target markets afford us the opportunity to acquire institutional-quality office buildings at prices that are substantially below replacement cost. Our investment strategy is to acquire those types of office buildings often described as “core” investment properties which, generally, due to their location, building quality and tenant base, produce a predictable and growing income stream, and “value-added” investment properties which generally offer upside potential through improvement upgrades, repositioning, aggressive leasing and intensive management. We access potential acquisitions through a broad network that The Shidler Group has developed over the past 30 years, including lenders, brokers, developers and owners. As a result, we believe we have a “first call” advantage due to our reputation, relationships and ability to provide a broad array of transaction structures to address the varying needs of sellers. These also allow us to acquire institutional-quality office properties in off-market transactions with a familiar base of local and institutional owners.

(1)
Annualized rent represents the monthly contractual rent under commenced leases as of September 30, 2010. This amount reflects total rent before abatements and includes contractual expense reimbursements, which may be estimated as of such date. Total abatements committed to as of September 30, 2010 for the 12 months ending September 30, 2011 were approximately $1.0 million for our wholly-owned properties and $0.7 million for our joint venture properties.
(2)
Annualized rent for the joint venture properties is reported with respect to each property in its entirety, rather than the portion of the property represented by our ownership interest. No portion of the joint venture properties’ annualized rent is consolidated in our consolidated financial statements because our interests in our joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
  (3)
Existing net rents are converted to gross rents by adding contractual expense reimbursements, which may be estimated as of such date, to base rents.
 

On September 3, 2010, our Operating Partnership, Pacific Office Properties, L.P., assumed, through the exercise of an option with our Advisor, all of the rights and obligations of our Advisor under two Sale, Purchase and Escrow Agreements, each dated as of August 12, 2010 and amended as of August 30, 2010, referred to collectively as the PSAs, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the GRE portfolio.  The GRE portfolio consists of 12 office properties comprising approximately 1.9 million rentable square feet located primarily in southern California.  There is no assurance that our Operating Partnership will acquire any of the properties subject to the PSAs because the proposed acquisitions are subject to a variety of factors and contingencies, including customary closing conditions.  Furthermore, our cash from operations and current borrowing availability are insufficient to fund the contemplated purchase price.  The aggregate purchase price for the GRE portfolio is approximately $305.9 million (including the assumption of approximately $56.3 million in existing debt encumbering certain of the properties).  We expect to pay approximately $8.0 million of the purchase price in the form of shares of our Listed Common Stock.  The closing date under each of the PSAs is scheduled to be November 12, 2010.  However, our Operating Partnership has the right to extend the closing date under each of the PSAs to December 3, 2010, subject to the payment of additional non-refundable deposits.  In addition, either our Operating Partnership or the sellers may extend the closing date for up to an additional 60 days with respect to specific properties if the consent of the applicable lender to assume debt related to such properties is still being sought as of the closing date.

 
Critical Accounting Policies -

This discussion and analysis of the historical financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and assumptions. These estimates have been evaluated on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that management believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. In addition, other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may impact the comparability of the results of operations and financial conditions to those of other companies.

In addition, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  We have not made any material changes to those policies during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

Overview –

As of September 30, 2010, the Property Portfolio (including our consolidated and joint venture properties) was 84.0% leased to a total of 761 tenants.

We receive income primarily from rental revenue (including tenant reimbursements) from our office properties and, to a lesser extent, from our parking revenues. Our office properties are typically leased to tenants with good credit for terms ranging from 2 to 20 years.

As of September 30, 2010, our consolidated Honolulu portfolio was 90.0% leased, with approximately 146,200 square feet available. Our Honolulu portfolio attributable to our unconsolidated joint ventures was 85.5% leased, with approximately 22,100 square feet available.

Revenues

Rental Revenue . Rental revenue increased by $0.4 million, or 3.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was due to the commencement of a large lease at Waterfront Plaza by a tenant that occupies space that was vacant in the prior year period ($0.4 million).  In addition, average occupancy at Waterfront Plaza increased resulting in an additional $0.3 million.  These increases were offset by decreased average occupancy at Davies Pacific Center, Pan Am Building and City Square, which resulted in decreases of $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million in rental revenues, respectively.
 
Tenant Reimbursements . Tenant reimbursements increased by $0.2 million, or 3.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in electricity rates in Hawaii and a corresponding increase in tenant reimbursements of $0.1 million in the current year period.

All other sources of revenue remained relatively constant.

Expenses
 
Rental Property Operating Expenses . Rental property operating expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 4.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase was primarily attributable to approximately $0.3 million higher electricity costs in Hawaii as a result of higher oil prices in 2010.  An additional bad debt expense of approximately $0.2 million was recorded during the current year period versus the prior year period.
 
General and Administrative . General and administrative expense increased by $0.3 million, or 95.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase is primarily due to a $0.2 million adjustment to an audit fee accrual during the third quarter of 2009, which did not occur during the current year period.  In addition, we incurred $0.1 million in additional investor relations fees.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense . Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.3 million, or 18.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in expense was primarily attributable to the expiration of useful lives of certain intangible assets acquired pursuant to our formation transactions in 2008.  An additional decrease was related to an adjustment to expense that took place in 2009 related to our Waterfront property that is expected not to recur in 2010.  We expect amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired pursuant to our formation transactions to continue to decrease as their useful lives expire.

Interest Expense . Interest expense increased by $2.3 million, or 33.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to default interest incurred on our Pacific Business News Building loan, with a principal balance of $11.6 million, for the entire quarter, and on our City Square mezzanine loan, with an aggregate principal balance of $27.3 million, since September 7, 2010.  In addition, late charge penalties in connection with the defaults of $0.5 million and $1.5 million, for the respective loans have been accrued.  These late charges have not been paid by us as of November 3, 2010.
 
          Loss from extinguishment of debt . We recognized a $0.2 million loss from extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs related to the September 2009 termination of our former credit facility.  We did not recognize any comparable losses in the current year period.
 
Acquisition Costs. We incurred $0.6 million in acquisition costs for the three months ended September 30, 2010 in connection with our contemplated acquisition of the GRE portfolio ($0.5 million) and the now terminated acquisition of a one-building office property located in San Diego, California ($0.1 million).

Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased by $0.05 million, or 25.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was partially attributable to the addition of the Seaview joint venture in December 2009, of which our share of its loss was approximately $0.01 million.  In addition, our share of income attributable to our Black Canyon joint venture decreased by $0.04 million due to a recent loan modification, which resulted in higher interest expense for the joint venture.

Revenues
 
Rental Revenue . Rental revenue decreased by $0.4 million, or 1.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to decreased average occupancy at two of our Hawaii properties: Davies Pacific Center ($0.3 million) and the Pan Am Building ($0.3 million).  In addition, we are experiencing lower rental rates at our City Square property ($0.3 million) due to current market conditions in the greater Phoenix area. These decreases were partially offset by increased average occupancy at our Waterfront Plaza property in Hawaii ($0.5 million).

         Tenant Reimbursements . Tenant reimbursements increased by $0.6 million, or 3.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in our common area maintenance expenses recoverable from our tenants as compared to the 2009 period.

All other sources of revenue remained relatively constant.

 
Expenses
 
Rental Property Operating Expenses . Rental property operating expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 1.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to higher utility costs due to increased rates for electricity at four of our Hawaii properties: Davies Pacific Center ($0.1 million), Waterfront Plaza ($0.5 million), First Insurance Center ($0.2 million) and the Pacific Business News Building ($0.1 million).  This increase in utility costs is offset by decreased electrical usage at our City Square property ($0.1 million).  In addition, we increased our bad debt expense reserves by $0.2 million at the Pan Am Building, which was offset by a decrease of $0.3 million at the Davies Pacific Center and $0.2 million at the City Square property, for a total net decrease of $0.3 million.

General and Administrative . General and administrative expense increased by $0.1 million, or 4.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in legal fees of $0.4 million offset by a decrease in audit fees of $0.3 million due to a change in auditors during the current year.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense . Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $3.3 million, or 16.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to the expiration of useful lives of certain intangible assets acquired pursuant to our formation transactions in 2008.  We expect the amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired pursuant to our formation transactions in 2008 to continue to decrease as their useful lives expire. An additional decrease was related to an adjustment to expense that took place in 2009 related to our Waterfront property that is expected not to recur in 2010.

Interest Expense . Interest expense increased by $2.2 million, or 11%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to default interest incurred on our Pacific Business News Building loan, with a principal balance of $11.6 million, since April 7, 2010, and on our City Square mezzanine loan, with an aggregate principal balance of $27.3 million, since September 7, 2010.  In addition, late charge penalties in connection with the defaults of $0.5 million and $1.5 million, for the respective loans have been accrued.  These late charges have not been paid by us as of November 3, 2010.
 
         Loss from extinguishment of debt . We recognized a $0.2 million loss from extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs related to the September 2009 termination of our former credit facility.  We did not recognize any comparable losses in the current year period.
 
Acquisition Costs. We incurred $0.6 million in acquisition costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 in connection with our contemplated acquisition of the GRE portfolio ($0.5 million) and the now terminated acquisition of  a one-building office property located in San Diego, California ($0.1 million).

Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased by $0.2 million, or 54.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was attributable to the addition of the Seaview joint venture in December 2009, of which our share of its loss was approximately $0.1 million.  In addition, our share of income attributable to our Black Canyon joint venture decreased by $0.1 million due to a recent loan modification, which resulted in higher interest expense for the joint venture.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, acquire properties, make distributions to our stockholders and other general business needs. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders, each calendar year, at least 90% of our REIT taxable income.

While we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain liquidity needs, there may be unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which would affect our financial condition and results of operations. For example, we may be required to comply with new laws or regulations that cause us to incur unanticipated capital expenditures for our properties, thereby increasing our liquidity needs. Even if there are no material changes to our anticipated liquidity requirements, our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or needed.

Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc
 
 
 
Our liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT status, cumulative dividends on our Senior Common Stock, capital expenditures, debt service requirements and scheduled principal maturities and property acquisitions, including our contemplated acquisition of the GRE portfolio. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity and capital requirements primarily through net cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from our ongoing offering of Senior Common Stock. We expect to meet our long-term capital requirements through net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under our credit facility (if available), refinancing of existing debt, proceeds from our ongoing offering of Senior Common Stock or the issuance of additional securities and through other available investment and financing activities, including the assumption of mortgage debt upon acquisition or the procurement of new mortgage debt on acquisition properties and currently unencumbered properties. Our future financing activities may include selling a portion of the equity in the properties in which we currently hold whole interests.  Under some circumstances, we may be required to fund distributions from working capital, liquidate assets at prices or times that we regard as unfavorable or borrow to provide funds for distributions, or we may make distributions in the form of a taxable stock dividend. We have no current intention, however, to make distributions using shares of our common stock.

We have $66.4 million in aggregate principal indebtedness that is matured and unpaid as of September 30, 2010.  On April 6, 2010, a non-recourse loan in the amount of $11.6 million secured by our Pacific Business News Building matured.  On April 7, 2010, we received a notice of default from the lender of this loan asserting our failure to pay all amounts when due thereunder.  On September 1, 2010, non-recourse loans in the amounts of $27.5 million (Senior Note secured by our City Square property in Phoenix) and $27.3 million (Mezzanine Note secured by a pledge of ownership interests in the entities owning the City Square property) matured.  If we are unable to repay any loan at maturity, we may not be able to retain our equity in the properties in question.

As of September 30, 2010, interest was being incurred at the default rate for each of the matured loans, except for the City Square loan (Senior Note) in connection with which we signed a forbearance agreement with the lender on October 15, 2010.  Under the forbearance agreement, the default interest of 5% in excess of the stated rate and late charge penalties in the amount of approximately $1.9 million will be forgiven if the loan is repaid in full prior to the expiration of the forbearance period, which is the earliest to occur of five business days following the completion of our proposed public offering of Listed Common Stock, certain breaches or defaults by us under the forbearance agreement or loan documents, and January 14, 2011 (as discussed below). We incurred $0.01 million of fees in connection with this forbearance agreement. Refer to the “Indebtedness” discussion below for further discussion of the interest rate terms on the respective loans.  All of the matured loans are non-recourse obligations of their respective borrowers, except for customary recourse carve-outs for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities.  We are currently not aware of the occurrence of any event that would constitute a recourse carve-out on these loans.  However, the City Square Mezzanine Note was secured, in part, by the posting of certain letters of credit by James C. Reynolds and Shidler LP in the aggregate amount of $3.7 million.  On October 20, 2010, the lender collected against these letters of credit.  Pursuant to an indemnity agreement entered into on March 19, 2008 in connection with our formation transactions, the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Mr. Reynolds and Shidler LP for any losses under the letters of credit. Mr. Reynolds is a director and stockholder of the Advisor, and holds over 10% of our outstanding Listed Common Stock.  Shidler LP is controlled by Jay H. Shidler, the Chairman of our Board of Directors.

As of September 30, 2010, our total consolidated debt (which includes our mortgage and other loans with a carrying value of $419.7 million and our unsecured promissory notes with a carrying value of $21.1 million) was approximately $440.8 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.08% (utilizing default interest rates for the Pacific Business News Building and City Square Mezzanine Note), and a weighted average remaining term of 4.71 years.

As of September 30, 2010, we had $7.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $2.4 million as of December 31, 2009. In addition, we had restricted cash balances of $7.2 million as of September 30, 2010 as compared to $7.4 million as of December 31, 2009. Restricted cash primarily consists of interest-bearing cash deposits required by certain of our mortgage loans to fund anticipated expenditures for real estate taxes, insurance, debt service and leasing costs. In addition, as of September 30, 2010, we had approximately $3.0 million available under our credit facility for borrowings.

On October 4, 2010, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a proposed registered offering of our Listed Common Stock having a maximum aggregate offering price of $408.25 million.  This registration statement has not yet been declared effective and there can be no assurance that the offering will be completed.  If we complete this proposed offering, we intend to use a portion of the proceeds to repay the debt currently in default.

Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc
 
 
 
On October 15, 2010, we entered into a forbearance agreement with the lender of the Senior Note secured by our City Square property.  Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, the default interest of 5% in excess of the stated rate and late charge penalties in the amount of approximately $1.9 million will be forgiven if the loan is repaid in full prior to the expiration of the forbearance period, which is the earliest to occur of five business days following the completion of our proposed public offering of Listed Common Stock, certain breaches or defaults by us under the forbearance agreement or loan documents, and January 14, 2011.

Cash Flows -

Net cash provided by operating activities for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $3.4 million compared to $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $3.3 million was primarily attributable to an increase of $3.4 million in restricted cash balances used to fund operating activities in the prior year period and an increase in other assets during the current period of $1.7 million. The increase in other assets during the current year period was primarily attributable to an increase in prepaid assets related to property taxes that we paid during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. These respective decreases in operating cash flows were offset by an increase in accounts payable of $5.3 million during the current year period. The increase in accounts payable during the current year period was primarily attributable to accrued acquisition costs incurred in the current period related to our contemplated acquisition of the GRE portfolio, and default interest and late fee penalties payable in connection with the Pacific Business News Building and the City Square Mezzanine Note which are currently in default.

Net cash used in investing activities by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $10.3 million compared to $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in cash used of $5.4 million was primarily attributable to deposits we made in the current year period of $5.0 million related to our contemplated acquisition of the GRE portfolio, and increases of capital improvements to real estate by $1.4 million compared to the same period in the prior year. These respective uses of cash flow from investing activities were offset by our restricted cash used for capital expenditures which decreased by $1.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to a $13.1 million draw on our revolving credit facility during the current year period, compared with a net draw of $2.8 million in the same period in the prior year. In addition, we received net proceeds from the sale of Senior Common Stock of $5.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by $0.5 million paid in connection with the redemption of our Operating Partnership common units during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, and an increase in deferred offering costs of $0.8 million compared to the same period in the prior year, incurred in connection with our proposed public offering of Listed Common Stock.

The loan secured by the Pacific Business News Building has matured and we have not repaid the principal balance.  As a result, interest is being incurred at the default rate of 11.98%.  We are currently in negotiations with the lender to extend the loan.  For additional information, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.
(2)
The loan secured by the City Square property has matured and we have not repaid the principal balance.  We signed a forbearance agreement with the lender on October 15, 2010. Under the forbearance agreement, the default interest of 5% in excess of the stated rate and late charge penalties in the amount of approximately $1.9 million will be forgiven if the loan is repaid in full prior to the expiration of the forbearance period, which is the earliest to occur of five business days following the completion of our proposed public offering of Listed Common Stock, certain breaches or defaults by us under the forbearance agreement or loan documents, and January 14, 2011. For additional information, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.

The loan secured by a pledge of the ownership interests in the entities owning the City Square property has matured and we have not repaid the principal balance.  As a result, interest is being incurred at the default rate of LIBOR + 7.35%.  We are currently in negotiations with the lender. We had an interest rate cap on this loan for the notional amount of $28.5 million, which effectively limited the LIBOR rate on this loan to 7.45%.  The interest rate cap expired on September 1, 2010, commensurate with the maturity date of the loan.
(4) 
Requires monthly principal and interest payments of $39.8 thousand. The initial maturity date is August 15, 2011.  We have the option to extend the maturity date to August 15, 2014 for a nominal fee.

The revolving line of credit matures on December 31, 2013.  See “Revolving Line of Credit” below.
 
 

Our variable rate debt, as reflected in the above schedule and in Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, bears interest at a rate based on 30-day LIBOR, which was 0.26% at September 30, 2010, plus a spread. Our variable rate debt at September 30, 2010 had an initial term that matured in September 2010.  As noted in footnotes (2) and (3) to the table above, we are currently in discussions with the servicer for this debt regarding an agreement to extend the maturity date of the loan and to make certain other modifications to the terms of the loan.

As of September 30, 2010, our ratio of total consolidated debt to total market capitalization was approximately 63.3%. Our total market capitalization of $695.9 million includes our total consolidated debt of $440.8 million, the market value of our Listed Common Stock and equivalents outstanding of $248.5 million (based on the closing price of our Listed Common Stock of $4.91 per share on the NYSE Amex on September 30, 2010) and the market value of our outstanding Senior Common Stock of $6.6 million (based on its $10.00 per share offering price).

Revolving Line of Credit -

On September 2, 2009, we entered into a Credit Agreement, referred to as the FHB Credit Facility, with First Hawaiian Bank, or the Lender.  The FHB Credit Facility initially provided us with a revolving line of credit in the principal sum of $10 million.  On December 31, 2009, we amended the FHB Credit Facility to increase the maximum principal amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit to $15 million.  On May 25, 2010, we entered into an amendment with the Lender to increase the maximum principal amount available for borrowing thereunder from $15 million to $25 million and to extend the maturity date from September 2, 2011 to December 31, 2013.  Amounts borrowed under the FHB Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating annual rate equal to the effective rate of interest paid by the Lender on time certificates of deposit, plus 1.00%.  We are permitted to use the proceeds of the line of credit for working capital and general corporate purposes, consistent with our real estate operations and for such other purposes as the Lender may approve.  As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $22.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively, under the FHB Credit Facility.

As security for the FHB Credit Facility, as amended, Shidler LP, a Hawaii limited partnership controlled by Mr. Shidler, has pledged to the Lender a certificate of deposit in the principal amount of $25 million.  As a condition to this pledge, the Operating Partnership and Shidler LP entered into an indemnification agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Shidler LP from any losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Shidler LP in connection with the pledge.  In addition, to the extent that all or any portion of the certificate of deposit is withdrawn by the Lender and applied to the payment of principal, interest and/or charges under the FHB Credit Facility, the Operating Partnership agreed to pay to Shidler LP interest on the withdrawn amount at a rate of 7.00% per annum from the date of the withdrawal until the date of repayment in full by the Operating Partnership to Shidler LP.  Pursuant to this indemnification agreement, as amended, the Operating Partnership also agreed to pay to Shidler LP an annual fee of 2.00% of the entire $25 million principal amount of the certificate of deposit.

The FHB Credit Facility contains various customary covenants, including covenants relating to disclosure of financial and other information to the Lender, maintenance and performance of our material contracts, our maintenance of adequate insurance, payment of the Lender’s fees and expenses, and other customary terms and conditions.

Subordinated Promissory Notes -

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had promissory notes payable by the Operating Partnership to certain affiliates in the aggregate principal amount of $21.1 million, at both dates, which were originally issued to fund certain capital improvements upon the completion of the Transactions and upon the exercise of an option granted to us by Venture and its affiliates as part of the Transactions. The promissory notes accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum, with interest payable quarterly, subject to the Operating Partnership’s right to defer the payment of interest for any or all periods up until the date of maturity. The promissory notes mature on various dates commencing on March 19, 2013 through August 31, 2013, but the Operating Partnership may elect to extend maturity for one additional year. Maturity accelerates upon the occurrence of a) an underwritten public offering of at least $75 million of our common stock; b) the sale of substantially all the assets of the Company; or c) the merger of the Company with another entity. The promissory notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership.

On September 23, 2009, the Operating Partnership entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain of our affiliates (collectively, the “Transferors”).  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, on September 25, 2009, certain unsecured subordinated promissory notes, in the aggregate outstanding amount (including principal and accrued interest) of approximately $3.0 million, issued by the Operating Partnership to the Transferors were exchanged for 789,095 shares of our Listed Common Stock.  The price per share of the Listed Common Stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was $3.82, which represented the volume-weighted average closing market price per share of the Listed Common Stock on the NYSE Amex for the thirty trading days preceding the date of the Exchange Agreement.

For the period from March 20, 2008 through September 30, 2010, interest payments on the unsecured notes payable to related parties have been deferred with the exception of $0.3 million which was related to the notes exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.  At September 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, $3.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of accrued interest attributable to unsecured notes payable to related parties is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements -

The mortgage debt that we maintain for our consolidated properties and unconsolidated joint venture properties is typically property-specific debt that is non-recourse to our Operating Partnership, except for customary recourse carve-outs for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities. The recourse liability for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities was guaranteed by Mr. Reynolds or, with respect to one loan, Mr. Shidler. Our Operating Partnership has agreed to indemnify Messrs. Reynolds and Shidler to the extent of their guaranty liability. This debt strategy isolates mortgage liabilities in separate, stand-alone entities, allowing us to have only our property-specific equity investment at risk, except to the extent of the recourse carve-outs. In management’s judgment, it would be unlikely for us to incur any material liability under these indemnities that would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, as discussed above, the City Square Mezzanine Note was secured, in part, by the posting of certain letters of credit by James C. Reynolds and Shidler LP in the aggregate amount of $3.7 million.  This loan has matured and we have not repaid the principal balance.  Accordingly, on October 20, 2010, the lender  collected against these letters of credit.  Pursuant to an indemnity agreement entered into on March 19, 2008 in connection with our formation transactions, the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Mr. Reynolds and Shidler LP for any losses under the letters of credit.  

Inflation –

We are exposed to inflation risk, as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. Because the majority of our leases require tenants to pay most operating expenses, including real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, and increases in common area maintenance expenses, we do not believe our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation is material. Furthermore, the majority of our existing leases contain contractual annual rental rate increases, which will at least partially offset the effect of inflation on our operating results.

Distributions -

We have made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and related regulations, and intend to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders and Operating Partnership unit holders, provided that we distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income and meet certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost. Such an event could materially affect our income and our ability to pay dividends. We believe we have been organized as, and our past and present operations qualify the Company as, a REIT.

One of our primary objectives, consistent with our policy of retaining sufficient cash for reserves and working capital purposes and maintaining our status as a REIT, is to distribute a substantial portion of our funds available from operations to our common stockholders and Operating Partnership unit holders in the form of dividends or distributions on a quarterly basis. Dividends and distributions by the Company are contingent upon the Company’s receipt of distributions on the Common Units from the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is prohibited from making distributions on the Common Units unless all accumulated distributions on the Preferred Units have been paid, except for the purposes of maintaining our qualification as a REIT. As of September 30, 2010, we considered market factors and our performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels.

On September 20, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized a cash dividend of $0.05 per share of our common stock for the third quarter of 2010. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2010 to holders of record of common stock on September 30, 2010. Commensurate with our declaration of a quarterly cash dividend, we paid distributions to holders of record of Common Units at September 30, 2010 in the amount of $0.05 per Common Unit, on October 15, 2010. In addition, we paid 2% distributions, or $.125 per unit, to holders of record of Preferred Units at September 30, 2010, on October 15, 2010. We relied upon borrowings under the FHB Credit Facility to pay a portion of these distributions.
 
Our Board of Directors authorized daily dividends on the Senior Common Stock, payable to holders of record of the Senior Common Stock as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing April 22, 2010 through September 30, 2010, in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 7.25%.  Dividends declared on the Senior Common Stock for the months of July 2010, August 2010 and September 2010 were paid on August 16, 2010, September 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010, respectively.
 
Our Board of Directors has also authorized daily dividends on the Senior Common Stock, payable to holders of record of the Senior Common Stock as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing October 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 7.25%.  Dividends declared on the Senior Common Stock for the months of October 2010, November 2010 and December 2010 are to be paid on November 15, 2010, December 15, 2010 and January 17, 2011, respectively.

Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders and Operating Partnership unit holders are invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts which are consistent with our intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT. At September 30, 2010, the cumulative unpaid distributions attributable to Preferred Units were $0.6 million, which were paid on October 15, 2010.

Related Party Transactions -

We are externally advised by the Advisor, an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Shidler and by its directors and officers, certain of whom are also our executive officers and who own substantial beneficial interests in our Company. For a more detailed discussion of the Advisor and other related party transactions, see Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010, the end of the period covered by this report.

   Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting -

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, are expected by us to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation if determined adversely to us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Important factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from the forward-looking statements include the risks factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as well as the risk factor set forth below which updates a risk factor provided therein.  In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider these risk factors, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
We have a substantial amount of debt outstanding, including $66.4 million in aggregate principal indebtedness that is matured and unpaid.  Our outstanding debt may affect our ability to pay dividends, may expose us to interest rate fluctuation risk and may expose us to the risk of additional default under our debt obligations. Furthermore, we may be unable to refinance our debt at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original debt.
 
As of September 30, 2010, our total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $419.7 million. Our joint venture properties are also leveraged, and we may incur significant additional debt for various purposes, including the funding of future acquisitions of properties. Payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave our property-owning entities with insufficient cash resources to operate our properties and/or pay distributions to us so that we can make distributions to stockholders currently contemplated or necessary to maintain our REIT qualification. Furthermore, any property-owning entity may default on its obligations and the lenders or mortgagees may foreclose on our properties and execute on any collateral that secures their loans. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we would not receive any cash proceeds.

We have $66.4 million in aggregate principal indebtedness that is matured and remain unpaid as of September 30, 2010.  As of September 30, 2010, interest was being incurred at the default rate of the stated rate plus 5% for each of the matured loans.  These loans are non-recourse obligations of their respective borrowers, except for customary recourse carve-outs for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities.  We are currently not aware of the occurrence of any event that would constitute a recourse carve-out on these loans.  However, the mezzanine loan in the principal amount of $27.3 million that matured on September 1, 2010 and was secured by a pledge of ownership interests in the entities owning our City Square property was also secured, in part, by the posting of certain letters of credit by James C. Reynolds and Shidler LP in the aggregate amount of $3.7 million.  On October 2, 2010, the lender collected against these letters of credit.  Pursuant to an indemnity agreement entered into on March 19, 2008 in connection with our formation transactions, the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Mr. Reynolds and Shidler LP for any losses under the letters of credit. Mr. Reynolds is a director and stockholder of the Advisor, and holds over 10% of our outstanding Listed Common Stock.  Shidler LP is controlled by Jay H. Shidler, the Chairman of our Board of Directors.
 
Our substantial outstanding debt, and the limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements, could have significant other adverse consequences, including the following:
 
 
50

 
 
Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc
 
 
 
 
 
our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments;
 
 
 
we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms, which could adversely affect our liquidity for acquisitions or operations;
 
 
 
we may be unable to refinance our debt at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original debt;
 
 
 
we may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on disadvantageous terms; and
 
 
 
we will be exposed to interest and future interest rate volatility with respect to debt that is variable rate.
 
If any one of these events were to occur, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our Listed Common Stock and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to you could be adversely affected. In addition, any foreclosure on our properties could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, which could adversely affect our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.
