Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc. (NYSE Amex: PCE), a West
Coast office real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced
its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Company Highlights and Subsequent Events
Effective as of February 1, 2011, the Company internalized its
management by acquiring its former advisor, and became self-managed
and self-advised.
Subsequent to March 31, 2011, the Company formed two joint
ventures with Angelo, Gordon & Co., a privately held investment
manager with approximately $23 billion of assets under management.
The joint ventures were formed to own two separate office
properties, the City Square Office Towers in Phoenix, Arizona and
the Pacific Business News Building, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Subsequent to the formation of the joint venture to own the
Pacific Business News Building, $11.6 million of matured debt
secured by the Pacific Business News Building and outstanding on
the Company’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, was repaid at a
discount after negotiations with the lender. The Company was not
obligated to pay default penalties and interest.
Subsequent to the formation of the joint venture to own the City
Square Office Towers, $25.3 million of matured mezzanine debt
secured by ownership interests in the City Square Office Towers and
outstanding on the Company’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2011,
was repaid at a discount after negotiations with the lender. The
Senior Note of $27.5 million secured by the City Square Office
Towers was extended to June 15, 2011. The joint venture is in
negotiations with other lenders to refinance the senior note and
expects to repay the debt in full.
Default interest and penalties totaling $0.5 million related to
the matured debt and recorded by the Company in the first quarter
2011 were subsequently abated as part of the negotiated debt
repayments.
Financial and Operating Results
The Company reported Funds from Operations (FFO) attributable to
common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 of $(0.8)
million, or $(0.04) per diluted share.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred
residual acquisition costs related to the terminated acquisition of
the GRE portfolio of $0.2 million. The Company also incurred
residual expenses of $0.4 million in abandoned offering costs. In
addition, the Company recorded default interest and penalties
related to the Company’s Pacific Business News Building and City
Square mezzanine loans of approximately $0.1 million and $0.4
million, respectively. As noted above, subsequent to March 31,
2011, the Company contributed both properties into joint ventures
and both loans were repaid at a discount. The Company was not
obligated to pay the accrued default interest and penalties.
FFO excluding these non-recurring items for the quarter ended
March 31, 2011 was $(0.2) million, or $(0.01) per diluted
share.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company did not
have any non-recurring items and reported FFO attributable to
common stockholders of $1.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted
share.
The Company reported Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31,
2011 of $0.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $1.8
million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March
31, 2010.
The Company also reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common
stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 of $1.4 million,
which includes the Company's portion of depreciation and
amortization expense of $1.1 million. For the quarter ended March
31, 2010, the Company reported a GAAP net loss attributable to
common stockholders of $1.1 million, which included the Company's
portion of depreciation and amortization expense of $1.2 million.

March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $0.36 and $0.29 per share,
respectively.

Explanation of Notations
(1) FFO is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. The
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT,
has provided a recommendation on how REITs should define FFO.
NAREIT suggests that FFO be defined as net income (loss)
attributable to stockholders (as computed in accordance with GAAP),
excluding gains (or losses) from dispositions of property,
extraordinary items, real estate-related depreciation and
amortization (including capitalized leasing expenses, tenant
allowances or improvements and excluding amortization of deferred
financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in accordance
with NAREIT guidelines. Management uses FFO as a supplemental
performance measure because, in excluding real estate-related
depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from property
dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance
measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in
occupancy, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that,
as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO
will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating
performance with that of other REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and
captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that
result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital
expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the
operating performance of our properties, all of which have real
economic effect and could materially impact our results from
operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is
limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance
with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be
comparable to such other equity REITs’ FFO. As a result, FFO should
be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a
measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of
our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our
cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make
distributions. FFO also should not be used as a supplement to or
substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in
accordance with GAAP).
(2) AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure we believe is a useful
supplemental measure of our performance. We compute AFFO by adding
to FFO nonrecurring items, straight-line rent adjustments
(straight-line ground rent expense minus straight-line rent
revenue), the amortization of interest rate contracts, loan premium
and prepaid financing costs, non-cash compensation expense, and
interest expense deferred on unsecured notes and then subtracting
from FFO the amortization of acquired above- and below-market
leases and recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and
leasing commissions. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow
for the period, and it only provides an additional perspective on
our ability to fund cash needs and make distributions to
shareholders by adjusting the effect of the non-cash items included
in FFO, as well as recurring capital expenditures and leasing
costs. We believe that net income or loss is the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure to AFFO. We also believe that
AFFO provides useful information to the investment community about
the Company’s financial position as compared to other REITs since
AFFO is a widely reported measure used by other REITs. However,
other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO
and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to other
REITs.
(3) The weighted average number of common shares and common
share equivalents outstanding – diluted includes common unit
limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership.
Our outstanding preferred unit interests in our Operating
Partnership are convertible into common unit limited partnership
interests in our Operating Partnership, but no earlier than the
date an underwritten public equity offering of our common stock in
an amount equal to or greater than $75 million is consummated,
which is a contingent event as of March 31, 2011. These common unit
interests will become exchangeable for shares of our Listed Common
Stock one year after such conversion. Our outstanding preferred
unit interests at March 31, 2011 represent 32,597,528 common share
equivalents, on an as-if converted basis, and any impact related to
these outstanding preferred unit interests have not been included
in our calculation of diluted earnings per share or FFO per share,
including our calculation of the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding, in accordance with
GAAP.
Our Senior Common Stock may be exchanged, at the option of the
holder, for shares of our Listed Common Stock after the fifth
anniversary of the issuance of such shares of Senior Common Stock.
The exchange ratio is 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 of Senior Common Stock of $10.00 per share. Based on a
30-day average Listed Common Stock share price of $2.25 for the
month ended March 31, 2011, the exchange ratio as of March 31,
2011, on an as-if converted basis was 4.44. The weighted average
number of Senior Common shares outstanding for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 was 2,417,867, resulting in 10,723,282 of
potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the
three months ended March 31, 2011.
Assuming the full conversion of our outstanding preferred unit
interests and our Senior Common Stock, our FFO per share, on a
fully diluted basis, would have been $0.00 and our AFFO per share,
on a fully diluted basis, would have been $0.02, for the three
months ended March 31, 2011. Assuming the full conversion of our
outstanding preferred unit interests, our FFO per share and AFFO
per share, on a fully diluted basis would have been $0.04 and
$0.05, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Assuming the full conversion of our outstanding preferred unit
interests and our Senior Common Stock, our FFO excluding
non-recurring items would have been $0.01 for the three months
ended March 31, 2011. There would be positive FFO on a fully
diluted per share basis for the three months ended March 31, 2011
due to the assumption that the $0.6 million of distribution to
preferred unitholders and the Senior Common Stock dividend of $0.4
million would cease upon conversion to shares of Listed Common
Stock. Assuming the full conversion of our outstanding preferred
unit interests, our FFO excluding non-recurring items would have
been $0.04 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
