GLADSTONE COMMERCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Gladstone Commercial Corporation (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that operates in a manner so as to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes and was incorporated on February 14, 2003 under the General Corporation Law of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in real estate properties net leased to creditworthy entities and making mortgage loans to creditworthy entities. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Adviser”).

Subsidiaries

The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Commercial Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, (the “Operating Partnership”). As the Company currently owns all of the general and limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership through GCLP Business Trust I and II as disclosed below, the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership are consolidated with those of the Company.

Gladstone Commercial Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Commercial Partners”) and a subsidiary of the Company, was organized to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a limited liability company may be organized in Delaware. Commercial Partners has the power to make and perform all contracts and to engage in all activities to carry out the purposes of the Company, and all other powers available to it as a limited liability company. As the Company currently owns all of the membership interests of Commercial Partners, the financial position and results of operations of Commercial Partners are consolidated with those of the Company.

Gladstone Lending, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Gladstone Lending”), and a subsidiary of the Company, was created to conduct all operations related to real estate mortgage loans of the Company. As the Operating Partnership currently owns all of the membership interests of Gladstone Lending, the financial position and results of operations of Gladstone Lending are consolidated with those of the Company.

Gladstone Commercial Advisers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Commercial Advisers”) and a subsidiary of the Company, is a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), which was created to collect all non-qualifying income related to the Company’s real estate portfolio. It is currently anticipated that this income will predominately consist of fees received by the Company related to the leasing of real estate. There have been no such fees earned to date. Since the Company owns 100% of the voting securities of Commercial Advisers, the financial position and results of operations of Commercial Advisers are consolidated with those of the Company.

GCLP Business Trust I and GCLP Business Trust II, subsidiaries of the Company, each are business trusts formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 28, 2005. The Company transferred its 99% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership to GCLP Business Trust I in exchange for 100 trust shares. Commercial Partners transferred its 1% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership to GCLP Business Trust II in exchange for 100 trust shares.

Interim financial information

Interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period have been included.

Investments in real estate

The Company records investments in real estate at cost and capitalizes improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. The Company expenses costs of repairs and maintenance as incurred. The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 39 years for buildings and improvements, five to seven years for equipment and fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

The Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” which requires the purchase price of real estate to be allocated to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, long-term debt and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, the value of unamortized lease origination costs and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.

Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from nine to eighteen months, depending on specific local market conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The Company allocates purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The “as-if-vacant” value is allocated to land, building, and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Real estate depreciation expense on these tangible assets, including discontinued operations, was $1,823,962 and $5,176,009 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and $1,383,279 and $3,862,257 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values, included in the accompanying balance sheet as part of deferred rent receivable, are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Total amortization related to above-market lease values was $63,374 and $190,122 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and $63,375 and $190,123 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The capitalized below-market lease values, included in the accompanying balance sheet as deferred rent liability, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Total amortization related to below-market lease values was $196,391 and $589,173 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 respectively, and $196,391 and $499,870 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

The total amount of the remaining intangible assets acquired, which consist of in-place lease values, unamortized lease origination costs, and customer relationship intangible values, are allocated based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics to be considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.

The value of in-place leases and unamortized lease origination costs are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases, which generally range from five to twenty years. The value of customer relationship intangibles, which is the benefit to the Company resulting from the likelihood of an existing tenant renewing its lease, are amortized to expense over the remaining term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the above-market and below-market lease values, in-place lease values, unamortized lease origination costs and customer relationship intangibles will be charged to expense. Total amortization expense related to these intangible assets, including discontinued operations, was $844,421 and $2,546,340 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and $779,361 and $2,216,193 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

The following table summarizes the net value of other intangible assets and the accumulated amortization for each intangible asset class:


	September 30, 2007					December 31, 2006
			Accumulated					Accumulated
	Lease Intangibles		Amortization			Lease Intangibles		Amortization

In-place leases	$	12,178,313	$	(3,030,905	)	$	10,738,319	$	(1,907,668	)

	$	34,329,511	$	(6,722,025	)	$	27,592,381	$	(4,175,685	)

The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the remainder of 2007 and each of the four succeeding fiscal years is as follows:


	Estimated
Year	Amortization Expense
2007	$	904,656
2008		3,618,623
2009		3,490,983
2010		3,402,580
2011		3,211,787

Impairment

Investments in Real Estate

The Company accounts for the impairment of real estate in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which requires that the Company periodically review the carrying value of each property to determine if circumstances that indicate impairment in the carrying value of the investment exist or that depreciation periods should be modified. If circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company prepares a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific property and determines if the investment in such property is recoverable. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value of the property would be written down to its estimated fair value based on the Company’s best estimate of the property’s discounted future cash flows. There have been no impairments recognized on the Company’s real estate assets at September 30, 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s accounting policies require that it reflect in its financial statements an allowance for estimated credit losses with respect to mortgage loans it has made based upon its evaluation of known and inherent risks associated with its private lending assets. Management reflects provisions for loan losses based upon its assessment of general market conditions, its internal risk management policies and credit risk rating system, industry loss experience, its assessment of the likelihood of delinquencies or defaults, and the value of the collateral underlying its investments. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ from these estimates. There have been no provisions for loan losses in the Company’s history.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents; except that any such investments purchased with funds held in escrow or similar accounts are classified as restricted cash. Items classified as cash equivalents include commercial paper and money-market funds. All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2007 were held in the custody of two financial institutions, and the Company’s balance at times may exceed federally insurable limits. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing funds with major financial institutions.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash consists of security deposits and funds held in escrow for certain tenants. The funds held in escrow are for capital improvements, taxes, insurance and other replacement reserves for certain of our tenants. These funds will be released to the tenants upon completion of agreed upon tasks as specified in the lease agreements, mainly consisting of maintenance and repairs on the buildings, and when evidence of insurance and tax payments has been submitted to the Company.

Funds held in escrow

Funds held in escrow consist of funds held by certain of the Company’s lenders for properties held as collateral by these lenders. These funds consist of replacement reserves for capital improvements, repairs and maintenance, insurance and taxes. These funds will be released to the Company upon completion of agreed upon tasks as specified in the mortgage agreements, mainly consisting of maintenance and repairs on the buildings, and when evidence of insurance and tax payments has been submitted to the lenders.

Deferred financing costs

Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred to obtain long-term financing, including legal fees, origination fees, and administrative fees. The costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the financing secured. The Company incurred $770,761 and $1,699,798 in deferred financing costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total amortization expense related to deferred financing costs, including discontinued operations, was $176,817 and $509,990 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and $175,641and $464,941 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. Amortization of financing costs are included in the interest expense line item in the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Rental revenue includes rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease. Certain of the Company’s leases currently contain rental increases at specified intervals, and straight-line basis accounting requires the Company to record an asset, and include in revenues, deferred rent receivable that will be received if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. Deferred rent receivable in the accompanying balance sheet includes the cumulative difference between rental revenue as recorded on a straight line basis and rents received from the tenants in accordance with the lease terms, along with the capitalized above-market lease values of certain acquired properties. Accordingly, the Company determines, in its judgment, to what extent the deferred rent receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectible. The Company reviews deferred rent receivable, as it relates to straight line rents, on a quarterly basis and takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectibility of deferred rent with respect to any given tenant is in doubt, the Company records an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts or records a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable, which would have an adverse effect on the net income for the year in which the reserve is increased or the direct write-off is recorded and would decrease total assets and stockholders’ equity. No such reserves have been recorded as of September 30, 2007.

Management considers its loans and other lending investments to be held-for-investment. The Company reflects held-for-investment investments at amortized cost less allowance for loan losses, acquisition premiums or discounts, deferred loan fees and undisbursed loan funds. On occasion, the Company may acquire loans at small premiums or discounts based on the credit characteristics of such loans. These premiums or discounts are recognized as yield adjustments over the lives of the related loans. Loan origination or exit fees, as well as direct loan origination costs, are also deferred and recognized over the lives of the related loans as yield adjustments. If loans with premiums, discounts, loan origination or exit fees are prepaid, the Company immediately recognizes the unamortized portion as a decrease or increase in the prepayment gain or loss. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method applied on a loan-by-loan basis. Prepayment penalties or yield maintenance payments from borrowers are recognized as additional income when received.

Income taxes

The Company has operated and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and accordingly will not be subject to federal income taxes on amounts distributed to stockholders (except income from foreclosure property), provided it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meets certain other conditions. To the extent that the Company satisfies the distribution requirement but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, the Company will be subject to federal corporate income tax on its undistributed income.

Commercial Advisers is a wholly-owned TRS that is subject to federal and state income taxes. Though Commercial Advisers has had no activity to date, the Company would account for any future income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

In July of 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This Interpretation provides guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, and provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition of tax positions. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007, and the adoption had no impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Segment information

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” provides standards for public companies relating to the reporting of financial and descriptive information about their operating segments in financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker or decision making group in determining how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Company management is the chief decision making group. As discussed in Note 10, the Company’s operations are derived from two operating segments, one segment purchases real estate (land, buildings and other improvements), which is simultaneously leased to existing users, and the other segment originates mortgage loans and collects principal and interest payments.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company purchased two properties in Canada in October of 2004. These properties were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2006, and were sold in July 2006. All gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are reflected in discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Rental payments from these properties were received in Canadian dollars. In accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” the rental revenue received was recorded using the exchange rate as of the transaction date, which was the first day of each month. In addition to rental payments that were denominated in Canadian dollars, the Company also has a bank account in Canada and the long-term financings on the two Canadian properties were also issued in Canadian dollars. All cash, deferred rent assets and mortgage notes payable related to the Canadian properties were re-valued at each balance sheet date to reflect the then current exchange rate. The gains or losses from the valuation of the cash were recorded on the income statement as a realized gain or loss, and the valuation of the deferred rent assets and mortgage notes payable was recorded on the income statement as unrealized gains or losses on the translation of assets and liabilities. Realized foreign currency gains of $33,487 and $33,550 were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and realized foreign currency losses of $1,044 and $201,017 were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. A realized gain of $1,422,026 related to the sale of the Canadian properties was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. These realized gains and losses were from the valuation of cash, tax payments made to the Canadian government, and the previously unrealized foreign currency losses associated with the valuation of the deferred rent assets and mortgage notes payable that became realized foreign currency losses as of the date of sale.

Asset retirement obligations

In March of 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 clarifies that the term “Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation” refers to a legal obligation (pursuant to existing laws or by contract) to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The Company has accrued a liability and corresponding increase to the cost of the related properties for disposal related to all properties constructed prior to 1985 that have, or may have, asbestos present in the building. The Company accrued a liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $63,981 related to properties acquired during the period. The Company also recorded expense of $29,440 and $86,542, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and $30,619 and $112,192 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, including discontinued operations, related to the cumulative accretion of the obligation.

Real estate held for sale and discontinued operations

SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” requires that the results of operations of any properties which have been sold, or are held for sale, be presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in both current and prior periods presented. Income items related to held for sale properties are listed separately on the Company’s consolidated income statement. Real estate assets held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less the cost to sell, and are listed separately on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for the current period. Once properties are listed as held for sale, no further depreciation is recorded.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 beginning with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company believes there will be no impact of the adoption on the Company’s results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 allows entities to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company believes there will be no impact of the adoption on the Company’s results of operations.

Use of estimates

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 reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

2. Management Advisory Fee

The Company has been externally managed pursuant to a contractual investment advisory arrangement with its Adviser, under which its Adviser has directly employed all of the Company’s personnel and paid its payroll, benefits, and general expenses directly. The Company’s initial investment advisory agreement with its Adviser was in place from August 12, 2003 through December 31, 2006 (the “Initial Advisory Agreement”). On January 1, 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement with its Adviser (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”) and an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Gladstone Administration, LLC (the “Administrator”). The management services and fees in effect under the Initial Advisory, Amended Advisory and Administration Agreements are described below.

Initial Advisory Agreement

Under the Initial Advisory Agreement, the Company was required to reimburse its Adviser for its pro rata share of its Adviser’s payroll and benefits expenses on an employee-by-employee basis, based on the percentage of each employee’s time devoted to the Company’s matters. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, these expenses were approximately $513,000 and $1,542,000, respectively.

The Company was also required to reimburse its Adviser for its pro rata portion of all other expenses of its Adviser not reimbursed under the Initial Advisory Agreement (“overhead expenses”), equal to the total overhead expenses of its Adviser, multiplied by the ratio of hours worked by its Adviser’s employees on the Company’s projects to the total hours worked by its Adviser’s employees. However, the Company was only required to reimburse its Adviser for its portion of its overhead expenses if the amount of payroll and benefits the Company reimbursed to its Adviser was less than 2.0% of the Company’s average invested assets for the year. Additionally, the Company was only required to reimburse its Adviser for overhead expenses up to the point that reimbursed overhead expenses and payroll and benefits expenses, on a combined basis, equaled 2.0% of the Company’s average invested assets for the year. The Adviser billed the Company on a monthly basis for these amounts. The Adviser was required to reimburse the Company annually for the amount by which overhead expenses billed to and paid by the Company exceeded this combined 2.0% limit during a given year. The overhead expenses never exceeded the combined 2.0% limit and, consequently, the Company never received any reimbursement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company reimbursed its Adviser approximately $144,000 and $487,000, respectively, of overhead expenses.

Amended Advisory Agreement

The Amended Advisory Agreement provides for an annual base management fee equal to 2% of the Company’s total stockholders equity, less the recorded value of any preferred stock, and an incentive fee based on funds from operations (“FFO”). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a base management fee of $459,202 and $1,412,337, respectively. For purposes of calculating the incentive fee, FFO includes any realized capital gains and capital losses, less any dividends paid on preferred stock, but FFO does not include any unrealized capital gains or losses. The incentive fee will reward the Adviser if the Company’s quarterly FFO, before giving effect to any incentive fee (“pre-incentive fee FFO”), exceeds 1.75%, or 7% annualized, (the “hurdle rate”) of total stockholders’ equity, less the recorded value of any preferred stock. The Adviser will receive 100% of the amount of the pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeds the hurdle rate, but is less than 2.1875% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee FFO. The Adviser will also receive an incentive fee of 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeds 2.1875%.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded an incentive fee of $677,104 and $1,896,677, respectively, offset by a credit from an unconditional and irrevocable voluntary waiver issued by the Adviser of $526,991 and $1,746,564, respectively, for a net incentive fee for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $150,113. The board of directors of the Company accepted the Adviser’s offer to waive a portion of the incentive fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 in order to maintain the current level of distributions to the Company’s stockholders.

Administration Agreement

Under the Administration Agreement, the Company pays separately for its allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead expenses in performing its obligations including, but not limited to, rent for employees of the Administrator, and its allocable portion of the salaries and benefits expenses of its chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, controller, treasurer and their respective staffs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded an administration fee of $175,852 and $592,996, respectively.

3. Stock Options

In December of 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” The new standard was effective for awards that are granted, modified, or settled in cash for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company previously accounted for its stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations and disclosure requirements established by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” In this regard, the options under the plan had been granted to individuals who are the Company’s officers, and who would qualify as leased employees under FASB Interpretation No. 44 (“FIN 44”), “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25.” Under APB Opinion No. 25, no expense was recorded in the income statement for the Company’s stock options. The pro forma effects on income for stock options were instead disclosed in a footnote to the financial statements. Under SFAS No. 123(R), all share-based compensation cost was measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and was recognized as an expense in the income statement over an employee’s requisite service period.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective approach. Under the modified prospective approach, stock-based compensation expense was recorded for the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remained outstanding at January 1, 2006 using the same estimate of the grant date fair value and the same attribution method used to determine the pro forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires that all share-based payments to employees after January 1, 2006, including employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements as stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value on the date of grant. The Company recorded total stock option compensation expense of $314,593 and $394,411, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. There were no stock options outstanding as the Company terminated its stock option plan on December 31, 2006, therefore, no stock option compensation expense was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

On January 5, 2007, the Company acquired a 60,000 square foot office building in Mason, Ohio for approximately $7.88 million, including transaction costs. At closing, the Company was assigned the previously existing triple net lease with the sole tenant, which had a remaining term of approximately six years. The tenant has two options to extend the lease for additional periods of five years each. The lease provides for prescribed rent escalations over the life of the lease, with annualized straight line rents of approximately $0.68 million.

On February 16, 2007, the Company acquired an 115,500 square foot industrial building in Raleigh, North Carolina for approximately $7.80 million, including transaction costs. At closing, the Company was assigned the previously existing triple net lease with the sole tenant, which had a remaining term of approximately three years. The tenant has one option to extend the lease for an additional period of five years. The lease provides for prescribed rent escalations over the life of the lease, with annualized straight line rents of approximately $0.66 million.

11. Line of Credit

On December 29, 2006, the Company entered into a $75 million senior revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led by KeyBank National Association, which matures on December 29, 2009 with an option to extend for an additional year. The credit facility replaced a previous facility led by BB&T, which was terminated upon the closing of the new line. The interest rate charged on the advances under the facility is based on the LIBOR, the prime rate or the federal funds rate, depending on market conditions, and adjusts periodically. The unused portion of the line of credit is subject to a fee of 0.15% per year. The Company’s ability to access this funding source is subject to the Company continuing to meet customary lending requirements such as compliance with financial and operating covenants and meeting certain lending limits. One such covenant requires the Company to limit its distributions to stockholders to 95% of its funds from operations, beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2007. In addition, the maximum amount the Company may draw under this agreement is based on a percentage of the value of properties pledged as collateral to the banks, which must meet agreed upon eligibility standards. As the Company arranges for long-term mortgages for these pledged properties, the banks will release the properties from the line of credit and reduce the availability under the line of credit by the advanced amount of the removed property. Conversely, as the Company purchases new properties meeting the eligibility standards, the Company may pledge these new properties to obtain additional advances under this agreement. The Company may use the advances under the line of credit for both general corporate purposes and the acquisition of new investments. As of September 30, 2007, there was $20.0 million outstanding under the line of credit at an interest rate of 6.74%.

Pocono, Pennsylvania property, its Raleigh, North Carolina property and its Mason, Ohio property in the amounts of approximately $5.4 million, $5.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The note accrues interest at a rate of 6.63% per year and the Company may not repay this note prior to the last three months of the term, or the Company would be subject to a substantial prepayment penalty. The note has a maturity date of November 8, 2017. The Company used the proceeds from the note to pay down the outstanding balance on the line of credit.

OVERVIEW

Our Investment Strategy

We were incorporated under the General Corporation Laws of the State of Maryland on February 14, 2003 primarily for the purpose of investing in and owning net leased industrial and commercial real property and selectively making long-term industrial and commercial mortgage loans. Most of the portfolio of real estate we currently own is leased to a wide cross section of tenants ranging from small businesses to large public companies, many of which do not have publicly rated debt. We have in the past entered into, and intend in the future to enter into, purchase agreements for real estate having triple net leases with terms of approximately 10 to 15 years and built in rental increases. Under a triple net lease, the tenant is required to pay all operating, maintenance and insurance costs and real estate taxes with respect to the leased property. We are actively communicating with buyout funds, real estate brokers and other third parties to locate properties for potential acquisition or to provide mortgage financing in an effort to build our portfolio. At September 30, 2007, we owned 47 properties totaling approximately 5.5 million square feet, and had one mortgage loan outstanding. All of our properties are fully leased and all tenants and borrowers are current and paying in accordance with their leases and loan, respectively. The total gross investment in these acquisitions and the mortgage loan investment was approximately $368.1 million.

Recent Events

Investment Activities: During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we acquired eight properties and one leasehold interest totaling approximately 860,000 square feet, for a total gross investment of approximately $84.7 million.

Financing Activities: During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we borrowed approximately $32.5 million pursuant to three long-term notes payable collateralized by security interests in seven of our properties, and drew down $20.0 million from our line of credit in order to fund acquisition during the quarter.

Our Investment Adviser and Administrator

Gladstone Management Corporation, or our Adviser, is led by a management team which has extensive experience in our lines of business. Our Adviser also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Gladstone Administration, LLC, or the Administrator, which employs our chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, controller, treasurer and their respective staffs. All of our executive officers are officers or directors, or both, of our Adviser and our Administrator.

Our Adviser and Administrator also provide investment advisory and administrative services to our affiliates, Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment Corporation, both publicly traded business development companies, as well as Gladstone Land Corporation, an agricultural real estate company owned by Mr. Gladstone. All of our directors and executive officers serve as either directors or executive officers, or both, of Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment Corporation. In the future, our Adviser may provide investment advisory and administrative services to other funds, both public and private, of which it is the sponsor.

Our Adviser was organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 2, 2002, and is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Our Adviser is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, a suburb of Washington D.C., and also has offices in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, and Washington.

Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements

We have been externally managed pursuant to a contractual investment advisory arrangement with our Adviser, under which our Adviser has directly employed all of our personnel and paid its payroll, benefits, and general expenses directly. Our initial investment advisory agreement with our Adviser, which we refer to as the Initial Advisory Agreement, was in place from August 12, 2003 through December 31, 2006. On January 1, 2007, we entered into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement with our Adviser, which we refer to as the Amended Advisory Agreement, and an administration agreement, which we refer to as the Administration Agreement, with our Administrator.

Under the terms of the Initial Advisory Agreement and the Amended Advisory Agreement, we were and remain responsible for all expenses incurred for our direct benefit. Examples of these expenses include legal, accounting, interest on short-term debt and mortgages, tax preparation, directors and officers insurance, stock transfer services, stockholder related fees, consulting and related fees. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the total amount of these expenses that we incurred was approximately $3.4 million and $9.8 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the total amount of these expenses that we incurred was approximately $3.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively. All of these charges are incurred directly by us rather than by our Adviser for our benefit. Accordingly, we did not make any reimbursements to our Adviser for these amounts.

In addition, we are also responsible for all fees charged by third parties that are directly related to our business, which may include real estate brokerage fees, mortgage placement fees, lease-up fees and transaction structuring fees (although we may be able to pass some or all of such fees on to our tenants and borrowers). In the event that any of these expenses are incurred on our behalf by our Adviser, we are required to reimburse our Adviser on a dollar-for-dollar basis for all such amounts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, none of these expenses were incurred by our Adviser as we passed all such fees along to our tenants and borrowers. The actual amount of such fees that we incur in the future will depend largely upon the aggregate costs of the properties we acquire, the aggregate amount of mortgage loans we make, and the extent to which we are able to shift the burden of such fees to our tenants and borrowers. Accordingly, the amount of these fees that we will pay in the future is not determinable at this time. We do not presently expect that our Adviser will incur any of these fees on our behalf.

Management services and fees under the Initial Advisory Agreement

Pursuant to the Initial Advisory Agreement, we were required to reimburse our Adviser for our pro rata share of our Adviser’s payroll and benefits expenses on an employee-by-employee basis, based on the percentage of each employee’s time devoted to our matters. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, these expenses were approximately $513,000 and $1,542,000, respectively.

We were also required to reimburse our Adviser for our pro rata portion of all other expenses of our Adviser not reimbursed under the arrangements described above, which we refer to as overhead expenses, equal to the total overhead expenses of our Adviser, multiplied by the ratio of hours worked by our Adviser’s employees on our projects to the total hours worked by our Adviser’s employees. However, we were only required to reimburse our Adviser for our portion of its overhead expenses if the amount of payroll and benefits we reimbursed to our Adviser was less than 2.0% of our average invested assets for the year. Additionally, we were only required to reimburse our Adviser for overhead expenses up to the point that reimbursed overhead expenses and payroll and benefits expenses, on a combined basis, equaled 2.0% of our average invested assets for the year. Our Adviser billed us on a monthly basis for these amounts. Our Adviser was required to reimburse us annually for the amount by which amounts billed to and paid by us exceeded this 2.0% limit during a given year. The amounts never exceeded the 2.0% limit and, consequently, we never received reimbursement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we reimbursed our Adviser approximately $144,000 and $487,000, respectively, of overhead expenses.

Management services and fees under the Amended Advisory Agreement

The Amended Advisory Agreement provides for an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of our total stockholders equity, less the recorded value of any preferred stock, and an incentive fee based on funds from operations, or FFO. For purposes of calculating the incentive fee, FFO includes any realized capital gains and capital losses, less any dividends paid on preferred stock, but FFO does not include any unrealized capital gains or losses. The incentive fee will reward our Adviser if our quarterly FFO, before giving effect to any incentive fee (“pre-incentive fee FFO”), exceeds 1.75%, or 7% annualized, (the “hurdle rate”) of total stockholders’ equity, less the recorded value of any preferred stock. Our Adviser will receive 100% of the amount of the pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeds the hurdle rate, but is less than 2.1875% of our pre-incentive fee FFO. Our Adviser will also receive an incentive fee of 20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeds 2.1875%.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the base management fees, based on the Amended Advisory Agreement fees were $459,202 and $1,412,337, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded an incentive fee of $677,104 and $1,896,677, respectively, offset by a credit from an unconditional and irrevocable voluntary waiver issued by the Adviser of $526,991 and $1,746,564, respectively, for a net incentive fee for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $150,113. Our Board of Directors accepted our Advisers’ offer to waive a portion of the incentive fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 in order to maintain the current level of distributions to our stockholders. Our Adviser has indicated that it intends to continue to waive all or a portion of the incentive fee in order to maintain the current level of distributions to our stockholders, however, our Adviser is not required to issue any waiver.

Administration Agreement

Under the Administration Agreement, we pay separately for our allocable portion of our Administrator’s overhead expenses in performing its obligations including, but not limited to, rent for employees of our Administrator, and our allocable portion of the salaries and benefits expenses of our chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, controller, treasurer and their respective staffs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we incurred $175,852 and $592,996, respectively, for the administration fee.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management believes our most critical accounting policies are revenue recognition (including straight-line rent), purchase price allocation, accounting for our investments in real estate, provision for loan losses, the accounting for our derivative and hedging activities, if any, and income taxes. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical data and current market data, and analyzes this information in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates. For a summary of all of our critical accounting policies, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 beginning with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We believe there will be no impact of the adoption on our results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 allows entities to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We believe there will be no impact of the adoption on our results of operations.

Results of Operations

Our weighted-average yield on the portfolio as of September 30, 2007 was approximately 9.48%. The weighted-average yield was calculated by taking the annualized straight-line rent, reflected as rental income on our consolidated statements of operations, or mortgage interest payments, reflected as interest income from mortgage notes receivable on our consolidated statements of operations, of each acquisition or mortgage loan as a percentage of the acquisition or loan price, as applicable.

Operating Revenues

Rental income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to the acquisition of eight properties and one leasehold interest subsequent to September 30, 2006, and properties acquired during the first nine months of 2006 that were held for the full period in 2007.

Interest income from mortgage loans decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, due to the defaulted mortgage loan on the Sterling Heights, Michigan property in August 2006. We acquired the building in satisfaction of the mortgage loan in September 2006.

Tenant recovery revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, as a result of an increase in the number of tenants which reimbursed us for insurance expense and the reimbursement of the ground lease payments on our Tulsa, Oklahoma property acquired in March 2007, which was partially offset by an over-accrual of franchise taxes in 2005, which resulted in a credit to tenant recovery revenue in 2006.

Operating Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, as a result of the eight properties and one leasehold interest acquired between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2007, coupled with properties acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 that were held for the full period in 2007.

Property operating expenses consist of franchise taxes, management fees, insurance, ground lease payments on our Tulsa, Oklahoma property acquired in March 2007 and overhead expenses paid on behalf of certain of our properties. Property operating expenses increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of the eight properties and one leasehold interest acquired between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2007.

The base management fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was computed under the terms of the Amended Advisory Agreement and the base management fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was computed under the terms of the Initial Advisory Agreement. Both agreements are described above under “Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements.”

On January 1, 2007, the Amended Advisory Agreement, which includes an incentive fee component, became effective. The calculation of the incentive fee is described in detail above under “Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements.” There was no incentive fee recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, as the Amended Advisory Agreement was not in effect.

On January 1, 2007, the Administration Agreement became effective and we began paying our Administrator amounts equal to our allocable portion of our Administrator’s overhead expenses in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. The calculation of the administrative fee is described above under “Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements.” There was no administration fee recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, as the Administration Agreement was not in effect.

Professional fees, consisting primarily of legal and accounting fees, decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of fees paid in connection with the formation of the Massachusetts Business Trusts in 2006 and lower audit fees in 2007 than 2006, partially offset by an increase in accounting fees paid in 2007 related to the implementation of FIN 48 and increased tax fees associated with the increased number of states in which we were required to file tax returns.

Insurance expense consists of the premiums paid for directors and officers insurance, which is renewed in September of each year. Insurance expense remained flat for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006 because of increased premiums for the period from September 2006 through September 2007 as compared to the previous year, partially offset by a decrease in premiums for the period from September 2007 through September 2008 as compared to the previous year. Insurance expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily because the premium reduction did not go into effect until September 2007.

Directors’ fees increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, because of the increase in the annual fees each board member collects, coupled with an increased number of committee meetings. The annual fees for each board member were increased in 2007 as a result of the termination of our stock option plan.

Stockholder related expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of increased costs associated with the annual meeting and an increase in our annual fees due to NASDAQ. Stockholder related expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of costs associated with the solicitation of the stockholder vote for the annual meeting in 2006, partially offset by the increase in our annual fees due to NASDAQ, and increased costs associated with the annual report.

Asset retirement obligation expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of the expense recorded during 2006, which included expense related to prior periods. The expense related to prior periods was immaterial to the 2006 earnings.

General and administrative expenses decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of a decrease in the number of conferences attended during the third quarter of 2007 and the expense associated with traveling to these conferences. General and administrative expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of conferences attended during 2007 and the expense associated with traveling to these conferences, coupled with an increase in our annual fees due to The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT.

There was no stock option compensation expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as we terminated our stock option plan on December 31, 2006. Stock option compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was the result of the adoption of the SFAS No. 123 (R) (revised 2004) “Share-based Payment.”

Interest income from temporary investments increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of the increase in our average cash balances during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as a result of long-term financings on 13 properties that closed subsequent to September 30, 2006.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, interest income on employee loans increased, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was a result of three employee loans that were originated subsequent to September 30, 2006, and nine employee loans that were originated during the first nine months of 2006 in which interest was earned for the full period in 2007.

Other income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, primarily because of management fees collected beginning in January of 2007 from a tenant in one of our buildings.

Interest expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. This was primarily a result of the long-term financings we closed on 13 properties subsequent to September 30, 2006, partially offset by a decreased amount outstanding on our line of credit.

Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations is the income from our two Canadian properties, which were sold in July 2006. Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was a result of operations from the Canadian properties held during that time, whereas the expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was a result of expenses related to the entities that we incurred subsequent to the sale. We also paid and fully accrued approximately $315,000 in taxes related to the gain on the sale in 2006. The 2006 tax returns were subsequently filed in March of 2007, and the amount owed was approximately $236,000. We received a refund of approximately $79,000, which is reflected under taxes paid on sale of real estate.

Net income available to common stockholders

Net income available to common stockholders decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily a result of the gain on sale of the two Canadian properties recognized in July of 2006, coupled with increased interest expense from the increased number of properties which have long-term financing and the preferred dividends paid. This is partially offset by the increase in our portfolio of investments in the past year and the corresponding increase in our revenues and the other events described above, and the elimination of stock option expense during 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At September 30, 2007, we had approximately $1.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. We have access to our existing line of credit and have obtained mortgages on 30 of our properties. We expect to obtain additional mortgages collateralized by some or all of our real property in the future. We anticipate continuing to borrow funds and issuing additional equity securities in order to obtain additional capital. We expect that the funds from our line of credit, additional mortgages and securities offerings will provide us with sufficient capital to make additional investments and to fund our continuing operations for the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, consisting primarily of the items described in “Results of Operations,” was approximately $12.0 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $86.9 million, which primarily consisted of the purchase of eight properties and one leasehold interest, as described in the “Recent Events” section above, as compared to net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of approximately $47.8 million, which primarily consisted of the purchase of nine properties.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $40.7 million, which primarily consisted of the proceeds received from the long-term financing of seven of our properties, partially offset by payments for deferred financing costs, principal repayments on mortgage notes payable and dividend payments. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $38.6 million, which consisted of the proceeds received from the long-term financing of eight of our properties, the proceeds from borrowing under our line of credit, and the proceeds from the offering of our preferred stock, partially offset by principal repayments on the mortgage notes payable, repayments on the line of credit, payments for deferred financing costs and dividend payments to our stockholders.

Future Capital Needs

As of September 30, 2007, we had investments in 47 real properties for a net value, including intangible assets, of approximately $337.0 million and one mortgage loan for $10.0 million. During 2007 and beyond, we expect to complete additional acquisitions of real estate and to originate additional mortgage notes. We intend to acquire additional properties by borrowing all or a portion of the purchase price and collateralizing the mortgages with some or all of our real property, by borrowing against our existing line of credit, or by issuing additional equity securities. We may also use these funds for general corporate needs. If we are unable to make any required debt payments on any borrowings we make in the future, our lenders could foreclose on the properties collateralizing their loans, which could cause us to lose part or all of our investments in such properties.

Line of Credit

On December 29, 2006, we entered into a $75 million senior revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led by KeyBank National Association, which matures on December 29, 2009 with an option to extend for an additional year. The credit facility replaced a previous facility led by Branch Banking and Trust, or BB&T, which was terminated upon the closing of the new line. Upon termination of the credit facility with BB&T, we wrote off approximately $590,000 in unamortized deferred financing fees. The interest rate charged on the advances under the facility is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, the prime rate or the federal funds rate, depending on market conditions, and adjusts periodically. The unused portion of the line of credit is subject to a fee of 0.15% per year. Our ability to access this funding source is subject to us continuing to meet customary lending requirements such as compliance with financial and operating covenants and meeting certain lending limits. One such covenant requires us to limit distributions to our stockholders to 95% of our funds from operations, or FFO, beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2007. In addition, the maximum amount we may draw under this agreement is based on a percentage of the value of properties pledged as collateral to the banks, which must meet agreed upon eligibility standards. As we arrange for long-term mortgages for these pledged properties, the banks will release the properties from the line of credit and reduce the availability under the line of credit by the advanced amount of the removed property. Conversely, as we purchase new properties meeting the eligibility standards, we may pledge these new properties to obtain additional advances under this agreement. We may use the advances under the line of credit for both general corporate purposes and the acquisition of new investments. As of September 30, 2007, there was $20.0 million outstanding under the line of credit at an interest rate of 6.74%.

Mortgage Notes Payable

On February 8, 2007, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, we borrowed approximately $13.8 million pursuant to a long-term note payable from KeyBank National Association which is collateralized by security interests in our Austin, Texas property, our Richmond, Virginia property and our Baytown, Texas property in the amounts of approximately $6.5 million, $5.3 million, and $2.0 million, respectively. The note accrues interest at a rate of 6.0% per year, and we may repay this note with 60 days notice to KeyBank, but would be subject to a substantial prepayment penalty. The note has a maturity date of March 1, 2017, and we used the proceeds from the note for acquisitions of properties.

On June 5, 2007, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, we borrowed approximately $14.2 million pursuant to a long-term note payable from Countrywide Commercial Real Estate Finance, which is collateralized by security interests in our Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin property, our Hazelton, Missouri property and our Raleigh, North Carolina property in the amounts of approximately $6.9 million, $2.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The note accrues interest at a rate of 6.11% per year and we may not repay this note prior to the last three months of the term, or we would be subject to a substantial prepayment penalty. The note has a maturity date of June 8, 2017. We used the proceeds from the note to pay down the outstanding balance on the line of credit.

On September 6, 2007, we assumed approximately $4.5 million of indebtedness pursuant to a long-term note payable from Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corporation, in connection with our acquisition, on the same date, of a property located in Cicero, New York. The financing was recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. The note accrues interest at a rate of 5.81% per year, and we may not repay this note prior to the last two months of the term, or we would be subject to a substantial prepayment penalty. The note matures on December 11, 2015.

(1)		Long-term debt obligations represent both borrowings under our line of credit and mortgage notes payable that were outstanding as of September 30, 2007. The line of credit matures in December 2009.

(2)		Interest on long-term debt obligations does not include interest on our borrowings under our line of credit. The balance and interest rate on our line of credit is variable and, thus, the amount of interest can not be calculated for purposes of this table.

(3)		Lease obligations represent the ground lease payments due on our Tulsa, Oklahoma property. The lease expires in June 2021.

Funds from Operations

NAREIT developed FFO, as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses, from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income, and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Comparison of FFO, using the NAREIT definition, to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.

FFO available to common stockholders is FFO adjusted to subtract preferred share dividends. We believe that net income available to common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO available to common stockholders.

Basic funds from operations per share, or Basic FFO per share, and diluted funds from operations per share, or Diluted FFO per share, is FFO available to common stockholders divided by weighted average common shares outstanding and FFO available to common stockholders divided by weighted average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis, respectively, during a period. We believe that FFO available to common stockholders, Basic FFO per share and Diluted FFO per share are useful to investors because they provide investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO results in the same manner that investors use net income and earnings per share, or EPS, in evaluating net income available to common stockholders. In addition, since most REITs provide FFO available to common stockholders, Basic FFO and Diluted FFO per share information to the investment community, we believe these are useful supplemental measures for comparing us to other REITs. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO, Basic EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Basic FFO per share, and that diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Diluted FFO per share.

The following table provides a reconciliation of our FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, and a computation of basic and diluted FFO per weighted average common share and basic and diluted net income per weighted average common share:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The primary risk that we believe we will be exposed to is interest rate risk. We currently own one variable rate loan receivable, certain of our leases contain escalations based on market interest rates, and the interest rate on our existing line of credit is variable. We seek to mitigate this risk by structuring such provisions of our loans and leases to contain a minimum interest rate or escalation rate, as applicable. We are also exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of the holding of our cash and cash equivalents in short-term, interest-bearing investments.

To illustrate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on our net income, we have performed the following analysis, which assumes that our balance sheet remains constant and no further actions beyond a minimum interest rate or escalation rate are taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity.

Under this analysis, a hypothetical increase in the one month LIBOR rate by 1% would increase our interest income and rental revenue by $36,500 and increase our interest expense on the line of credit by $202,778, for a net decrease in our net income of $166,278, or 10.2%, over the next twelve months, compared to net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007. A hypothetical decrease in the one month LIBOR by 1% would decrease our interest income and rental revenue by $36,500 and decrease our interest expense on the line of credit by $202,778, for a net increase in our net income of $166,278, or 10.2%, over the next twelve months, compared to net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007. Although management believes that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate sensitivity, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of our loan and lease portfolio on the balance sheet and other business developments that could affect net income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the results under this hypothetical analysis.

As of September 30, 2007, the fair value of our fixed rate debt outstanding was approximately $178.1 million. Interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments. If interest rates on our fixed rate debt instruments, using rates at September 30, 2007, had been one percentage point higher or lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $11.3 million.

In the future, we may be exposed to additional effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of our line of credit or long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve this objective, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate the interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, all of which may affect our ability to refinance debt if necessary.
