PART I
We refer to Highwoods Properties, Inc. as the “Company,” Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership as the “Operating Partnership,” the Company’s common stock as “Common Stock” or “Common Shares,” the Company’s preferred stock as “Preferred Stock” or “Preferred Shares,” the Operating Partnership’s common partnership interests as “Common Units,” the Operating Partnership’s preferred partnership interests as “Preferred Units” and in-service properties (excluding rental residential units and for-sale residential condominiums) to which the Company and/or the Operating Partnership have title and 100.0% ownership rights as the “Wholly Owned Properties.” References to “we” and “our” mean the Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The Company is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “HIW.” The Company conducts virtually all of its activities through the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. The partnership agreement provides that the Operating Partnership will assume and pay when due, or reimburse the Company for payment of, all costs and expenses relating to the ownership and operations of, or for the benefit of, the Operating Partnership. The partnership agreement further provides that all expenses of the Company are deemed to be incurred for the benefit of the Operating Partnership.
General
We are one of the largest owners and operators of office properties in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States. While we also own and operate industrial and retail properties in three of our markets, our office properties represented 86.5% of rental and other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, we:
|
|
·
|
wholly owned 295 in-service office, industrial and retail properties, encompassing approximately 27.2 million rentable square feet, 96 rental residential units and 26 for-sale residential condominiums;
|
|
|
·
|
owned an interest (50.0% or less) in 35 in-service office and industrial properties, encompassing approximately 5.2 million rentable square feet, one office property under development and 11 acres of development land, including a 12.5% interest in a 261,000 square foot office property owned directly by the Company and thus is included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, but not included in the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements;
|
|
|
·
|
wholly owned 611 acres of undeveloped land, approximately 523 acres of which are considered core holdings, defined as properties expected to be held indefinitely, and which are suitable to develop approximately 5.8 million and 2.7 million rentable square feet of office and industrial space, respectively; and
|
|
|
·
|
wholly owned two completed but not yet stablilized office properties encompassing 265,000 square feet.
|
At December 31, 2010, the Company owned all of the Preferred Units and 71.3 million, or 95.0%, of the Common Units. Limited partners (including one officer and two directors of the Company) own the remaining 3.8 million Common Units. Generally, the Operating Partnership is obligated to redeem each Common Unit at the request of the holder thereof for cash equal to the value of one share of Common Stock based on the average of the market price for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the notice date of such redemption provided that the Company, at its option, may elect to acquire any such Common Units presented for redemption for cash or one share of Common Stock. The Common Units owned by the Company are not redeemable.
The Company was incorporated in Maryland in 1994. The Operating Partnership was formed in North Carolina in 1994. Our executive offices are located at 3100 Smoketree Court, Suite 600, Raleigh, NC 27604, and our telephone number is (919) 872-4924.
Our business is the operation, acquisition and development of rental real estate properties. We operate office, industrial, retail and residential properties. There are no material inter-segment transactions. See Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the rental and other revenues, net operating income and assets for each reportable segment.
In addition to this Annual Report, we file or furnish quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All documents that the Company files or furnishes with the SEC are made available as soon as reasonably practicable free of charge on our website, which is http://www.highwoods.com. The information on our website is not and should not be considered part of this Annual Report and is not incorporated by reference in this document. You may also read and copy any document that we file or furnish at the public reference facilities of the SEC at 100 F. Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, DC 20549. Please call the SEC at (800) 732-0330 for further information about the public reference facilities. These documents also may be accessed through the SEC’s interactive data electronic applications on the SEC’s website, which is http://www.sec.gov. In addition, you can read similar information about us at the offices of the NYSE at 20 Broad Street, New York, NY 10005.
During 2010, the Company filed unqualified Section 303A certifications with the NYSE. The Company and the Operating Partnership have also filed the CEO and CFO certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as exhibits to this Annual Report.
Business and Operating Strategy
Our Strategic Plan focuses on:
|
·
|
owning high-quality, differentiated real estate assets in the better submarkets in our core markets;
|
|
·
|
improving the operating results of our existing properties through concentrated leasing, asset management, cost control and customer service efforts;
|
|
·
|
developing and acquiring office properties in in-fill and central business district locations that improve the overall quality of our portfolio and generate attractive returns over the long-term for our stockholders;
|
|
·
|
selectively disposing of properties no longer considered to be core holdings primarily due to location, age, quality and overall strategic fit; and
|
|
·
|
maintaining a conservative, flexible balance sheet with ample liquidity to meet our funding needs and growth prospects.
|
Local Market Leadership. We focus our real estate activities in markets where we have extensive local knowledge and own a significant amount of assets. We maintain offices in each of our core markets, except Greenville, SC, which are led by division officers that have significant real estate experience in their respective markets. Our real estate professionals are seasoned and cycle-tested. Our senior leadership team has significant experience and maintains important relationships with market participants in each of our core markets.
Customer Service-Oriented Organization. We provide a complete line of real estate services to our customers. We believe that our in-house leasing and asset management, development, acquisition and construction management services allow us to respond to the many demands of our existing and potential customer base. We provide our customers with cost-effective services such as build-to-suit construction and space modification, including tenant improvements and expansions. In addition, the breadth of our capabilities and resources provides us with market information not generally available. We believe that operating efficiencies achieved through our fully integrated organization and the strength of our balance sheet also provide a competitive advantage in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers as well as setting our lease rates and pricing other services. In addition, our relationships with our customers may lead to development projects when these customers seek new space.
Geographic Diversification. Today, including our various joint ventures, our core portfolio consists of office properties in Raleigh, Tampa, Nashville, Memphis, Richmond and Orlando, office and industrial properties in Atlanta and Greensboro and retail and office properties in Kansas City. We do not believe that our operations are significantly dependent upon any particular geographic market. However, economic growth and employment levels in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee will continue to be important determinative factors in predicting our future operating results.
Conservative and Flexible Balance Sheet. We are committed to maintaining a conservative and flexible balance sheet that allows us to capitalize on favorable development and acquisition opportunities as they arise. Our balance sheet also allows us to proactively assure our existing and prospective customers that we are able to fund tenant improvements and maintain our properties in good condition.
We expect to meet our liquidity needs through a combination of:
|
·
|
cash flow from operating activities;
|
|
·
|
borrowings under our credit facilities;
|
|
·
|
the issuance of unsecured debt;
|
|
·
|
the issuance of secured debt;
|
|
·
|
the issuance of equity securities by the Company or the Operating Partnership; and
|
|
·
|
the disposition of non-core assets.
|
Competition
Our properties compete for customers with similar properties located in our markets primarily on the basis of location, rent, services provided and the design, quality and condition of the facilities. We also compete with other REITs, financial institutions, pension funds, partnerships, individual investors and others when attempting to acquire, develop and operate properties.
Employees
At December 31, 2010, the Company had 397 full-time employees, of which 396 were also employees of the Operating Partnership.
An investment in our securities involves various risks. Investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in conjunction with the other information contained in this Annual Report before trading in our securities. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition could be harmed.
Adverse economic conditions in our markets that negatively impact the demand for office space, such as high unemployment, may result in lower occupancy and rental rates for our portfolio, which would result in lower operating results. While we own and operate a limited number of industrial, retail and residential properties, our operating results depend heavily on successfully leasing and operating our office properties. Economic growth and employment levels in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee are and will continue to be important determinative factors in predicting our future operating results.
Key components affecting our rental and other revenues include average occupancy and rental rates. Average occupancy generally increases during times of improving economic growth, as our ability to lease space outpaces vacancies that occur upon the expirations of existing leases. Average occupancy generally declines during times of slower or negative economic growth and decreasing office employment because new vacancies tend to outpace our ability to lease space. In addition, the timing of changes in occupancy levels tends to lag the timing of changes in overall economic activity and employment levels. For additional information regarding our average occupancy and rental rate trends over the past five years, see “Item 2. Properties – Wholly Owned Properties” set forth in this Annual Report. A further indicator of the predictability of future revenues is the expected lease expirations of our portfolio. As a result, in addition to seeking to increase our average occupancy by leasing current vacant space, we also concentrate our leasing efforts on renewing leases on expiring space. For more information regarding our lease expirations, see “Item 2. Properties – Lease Expirations” set forth in this Annual Report. Whether or not our rental revenue tracks average occupancy proportionally depends upon whether rents under new leases signed are higher or lower than the rents under the previous leases. Lower rental revenues resulting from lower average occupancy or lower rental rates with respect to our same property portfolio will generally reduce our operating results unless offset by the impact of any newly acquired or developed properties or lower variable operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and/or interest expense.
An oversupply of space in our markets would typically cause rental rates and occupancies to decline, making it more difficult for us to lease space at attractive rental rates, if at all. Undeveloped land in many of the markets in which we operate is generally more readily available and less expensive than in higher barrier-to-entry markets such as New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. As a result, even during times of positive economic growth, our competitors could construct new buildings that would compete with our properties. Any such oversupply could result in lower occupancy and rental rates in our portfolio, which would have a negative impact on our operating results.
In order to maintain the quality of our properties and successfully compete against other properties, we periodically must spend money to maintain, repair and renovate our properties, which reduces our cash flows. If our properties are not as attractive to customers due to physical condition as properties owned by our competitors, we could lose customers or suffer lower rental rates. As a result, we may from time to time be required to make significant capital expenditures to maintain the competitiveness of our properties. There can be no assurances that any such expenditures would result in higher occupancy or higher rental rates or deter existing customers from relocating to properties owned by our competitors.
Our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected by financial difficulties experienced by a major customer, or by a number of smaller customers, including bankruptcies, insolvencies or general downturns in business. The success of our investments and stability of our operations depend on the financial stability of our customers. A default or termination by a significant customer on its lease payments to us would cause us to lose the revenue associated with such lease. In the event of a customer default or bankruptcy, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing the property. If a customer defaults on or terminates a significant lease, we may not be able to recover the full amount of unpaid rent or be able to lease the property for the rent previously received, if at all. These events could reduce our operating results.
To relet space to an existing customer or attract a new customer to occupy space, we may incur significant costs in the process, including potentially substantial tenant improvements, broker commissions and lease incentives. Approximately 10-15% of our revenues at the beginning of any particular year are subject to leases that expire by the end of that year. As a result, in addition to seeking to increase our average occupancy by leasing current vacant space, we also concentrate our leasing efforts on renewing leases on expiring space. To entice customers to renew existing leases or sign new leases, we may be required to make substantial leasing capital expenditures. In addition, if market rents have declined since the time the expiring lease was executed, the terms of any new lease likely will not be as favorable to us as the terms of the expiring lease, thereby reducing the rental revenue earned from that space. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates or below the rental rates we currently charge our customers, we may lose existing or prospective customers, and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge or to offer more substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights and other concessions.
Costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations may reduce our operating results. All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on customers, owners or operators for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may hinder our ability to sell, rent or pledge such property as collateral for future borrowings.
Compliance with new laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require us to incur significant expenditures. Future laws or regulations may impose significant environmental liability. Additionally, our customers’ operations, operations in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect our properties. In addition, there are various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply and that may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance. Any expenditures, fines or damages we must pay would reduce our operating results. Proposed legislation to address climate change could increase utility and other costs of operating our properties which, if not offset by rising rental income, would reduce our net income.
Discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous conditions may decrease our operating results and limit our ability to make distributions. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, a current or previous property owner or operator may be liable for the cost to remove or remediate hazardous or toxic substances on such property. These costs could be significant. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require significant expenditures or prevent us from entering into leases with prospective customers that may be impacted by such laws. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials. Third parties may seek recovery from real property owners or operators for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances. The cost of defending against claims of liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could reduce our operating results.
Our operating results may suffer if costs of operating our properties, such as real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other costs, rise faster than our ability to increase rental revenues. While we receive additional rent from our customers that is based on recovering a portion of operating expenses, increased operating expenses will negatively impact our operating results. Our revenues and expense recoveries are subject to longer-term leases and may not be quickly increased sufficient to recover an increase in operating costs and expenses. Furthermore, the costs associated with owning and operating a property are not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in rental revenues from the property. Increases in same property operating expenses would reduce our operating results unless offset by the impact of any newly acquired or developed properties or lower general and administrative expenses and/or interest expense.
Recent and future acquisitions and development properties may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations and may require renovation and development costs exceeding our estimates. In the normal course of business, we typically evaluate potential acquisitions, enter into non-binding letters of intent, and may, at any time, enter into contracts to acquire additional properties. Acquired properties may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations due to lease-up risk, renovation cost risks and other factors. In addition, the renovation and improvement costs we incur in bringing an acquired property up to market standards may exceed our estimates. We may not have the financial resources to make suitable acquisitions or renovations on favorable terms or at all.
Further, we face significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from an indeterminate number of other real estate investors, including investors with significantly greater capital resources and access to capital than we have, such as domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, publicly-traded and privately-held REITs, private institutional investment funds, investment banking firms, life insurance companies and pension funds. Moreover, owners of office properties may be reluctant to sell, resulting in fewer acquisition opportunities. As a result of such increased competition and limited opportunities, we may be unable to acquire additional properties or the purchase price of such properties may be significantly elevated, which may impede our growth and materially and adversely affect us.
In addition to acquisitions, we periodically consider developing and constructing properties. Risks associated with development and construction activities include:
|
|
·
|
the unavailability of favorable construction and/or permanent financing;
|
|
|
·
|
construction costs exceeding original estimates;
|
|
|
·
|
construction and lease-up delays resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs; and
|
|
|
·
|
lower than anticipated occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed property causing a property to be unprofitable or less profitable than originally estimated.
|
Development activities are also subject to risks relating to our ability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental and utility company authorizations.
Illiquidity of real estate investments and the tax effect of dispositions could significantly impede our ability to sell assets or respond to favorable or adverse changes in the performance of our properties. Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to promptly sell one or more properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. In addition, we have a significant amount of mortgage debt under which we would incur significant prepayment penalties if such loans were paid off in connection with the sale of the underlying real estate assets.
We intend to continue to sell some of our properties in the future as part of our investment strategy and activities. However, we cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether the price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and close the sale of a property.
Certain of our properties have low tax bases relative to their estimated current fair values, and accordingly, the sale of such assets would generate significant taxable gains unless we sold such properties in a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or another tax-free or tax-deferred transaction. For an exchange to qualify for tax-deferred treatment under Section 1031, the net proceeds from the sale of a property must be held by an escrow agent until applied toward the purchase of real estate qualifying for gain deferral. Given the competition for properties meeting our investment criteria, there could be a delay in reinvesting such proceeds. Any delay in using the reinvestment proceeds to acquire additional income producing assets would reduce our operating results.
Because holders of our Common Units, including one of our officers and two of our directors, may suffer adverse tax consequences upon the sale of some of our properties, they may seek to influence us not to sell certain properties even if such a sale would otherwise be in our best interest. Holders of Common Units may suffer adverse tax consequences upon the sale of certain properties. Therefore, holders of Common Units, including one of our officers and two of our directors, may have different objectives than the Company’s stockholders regarding the appropriate pricing and timing of a property’s sale. Although the Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and has the exclusive authority to sell any of our Wholly Owned Properties, officers and directors who hold Common Units may seek to influence the Company not to sell certain properties even if such sale might be financially advantageous to stockholders, creditors, bondholders or our business as a whole or influence the Company to enter into tax deferred exchanges with the proceeds of such sales when such a reinvestment might not otherwise be in our best interest.
The value of our joint venture investments could be adversely affected if we are unable to work effectively with our partners or our partners become unable to satisfy their financial obligations. Instead of owning properties directly, we have in some cases invested, and may continue to invest, as a partner or a co-venturer with one or more third parties. Under certain circumstances, this type of investment may involve risks not otherwise present, including the possibility that a partner or co-venturer might be unable to fund its obligations or might have business interests or goals inconsistent with ours. Also, such a partner or co-venturer may take action contrary to our requests or contrary to provisions in our joint venture agreements that could harm us. If we want to sell our interests in any of our joint ventures or believe that the properties in the joint venture should be sold, we may not be able to do so in a timely manner or at all, and our partner(s) may not cooperate with our desires, which could harm us.
Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate. We carry insurance on all of our properties, including insurance for liability, fire, windstorms, floods, earthquakes and business interruption. Insurance companies, however, limit coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts, named windstorms, earthquakes and toxic mold. Thus, we may not have insurance coverage, or sufficient insurance coverage, against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the insurance coverage available. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property or properties, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property or properties. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Such events could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Our use of debt to finance our operations could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and ability to make distributions. We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, such as the sufficiency of cash flow to meet required payment obligations, ability to comply with financial ratios and other covenants and the availability of capital to refinance existing indebtedness or fund important business initiatives. Increases in interest rates on our variable rate debt would increase our interest expense. If we fail to comply with the financial ratios and other covenants under our credit facilities, we would likely not be able to borrow any further amounts under such facilities, which could adversely affect our ability to fund our operations, and our lenders could accelerate outstanding debt.
We generally do not intend to reserve funds to retire existing secured or unsecured debt upon maturity. We may not be able to repay, refinance or extend any or all of our debt at maturity or upon any acceleration. If any refinancing is done at higher interest rates, the increased interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to pay distributions. Any such refinancing could also impose tighter financial ratios and other covenants that restrict our ability to take actions that could otherwise be in our best interest, such as funding new development activity, making opportunistic acquisitions, repurchasing our securities or paying distributions. If we do not meet our mortgage financing obligations, any properties securing such indebtedness could be foreclosed on, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and ability to pay distributions.
From time to time, we depend on our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and for the short-term funding of our development and acquisition activity and, in certain instances, the repayment of other debt upon maturity. Our ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility also allows us to quickly capitalize on accretive opportunities at short-term interest rates. If our lenders default under their obligations under the revolving credit facility or we become unable to borrow additional funds under the facility for any reason, we would be required to seek alternative equity or debt capital, which could be more costly and adversely impact our financial condition. If such alternative capital were unavailable, we may not be able to make new investments and could have difficulty repaying other debt.
The Company may be subject to taxation as a regular corporation if it fails to maintain its REIT status, whichcould also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s stockholders and on the Operating Partnership. The Company is subject to adverse consequences if it fails to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. While the Company intends to operate in a manner that will allow it to continue to qualify as a REIT, we cannot provide any assurances that it will remain qualified as such in the future, which would have particularly adverse consequences to the Company’s stockholders. Many of the requirements for taxation as a REIT are highly technical and complex and depend upon various factual matters and circumstances that may not be entirely within our control. For example, to qualify as a REIT, at least 95.0% of the Company’s gross income must come from certain sources that are itemized in the REIT tax laws. The fact that the Company holds virtually all of the assets through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries further complicates the application of the REIT requirements. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize the Company’s REIT status. Furthermore, Congress and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) might change the tax laws and regulations and the courts might issue new rulings that make it more difficult, or impossible, for the Company to remain qualified as a REIT. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, it would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates and would, therefore, have less cash available for investments or payment of principal and interest to our creditors or bondholders. Such events would likely have a significant adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
Cash distributions reduce the amount of cash that would otherwise be available for other business purposes, including funding debt maturities or future growth initiatives. For the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, it must annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. In addition, although capital gains are not required to be distributed to maintain REIT status, capital gains, if any, that are generated as part of our capital recycling program are subject to federal and state income tax unless such gains are distributed to the Company’s stockholders. Cash distributions made to stockholders to maintain REIT status or to distribute otherwise taxable capital gains limit our ability to accumulate capital for other business purposes, including funding debt maturities or growth initiatives.
Because provisions contained in Maryland law, the Company’s charter and its bylaws may have an anti-takeover effect, the Company’s stockholders may be prevented from receiving a “control premium” for the Common Stock. Provisions contained in the Company’s charter and bylaws as well as Maryland general corporation law may have anti-takeover effects that delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt, and thereby prevent stockholders of the Company from receiving a “control premium” for their shares. For example, these provisions may defer or prevent tender offers for the Common Stock or purchases of large blocks of the Common Stock, thus limiting the opportunities for the Company’s stockholders to receive a premium for their Common Stock over then-prevailing market prices. These provisions include the following:
|
|
·
|
Ownership limit. The Company’s charter prohibits direct, indirect or constructive ownership by any person or entity of more than 9.8% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock. Any attempt to own or transfer shares of the Company’s capital stock in excess of the ownership limit without the consent of the Company’s Board of Directors will be void.
|
|
|
·
|
Preferred Stock. The Company’s charter authorizes its Board of Directors to issue Preferred Stock in one or more classes and to establish the preferences and rights of any class of Preferred Stock issued. These actions can be taken without stockholder approval. The issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking control of the Company, even if a change in control were in our best interest.
|
|
|
·
|
Maryland control share acquisition statute. Maryland’s control share acquisition statute applies to the Company, which means that persons, entities or related groups that acquire more than 20% of the Common Stock may not be able to vote such excess shares under certain circumstances if such shares were acquired in one or more transactions not approved by at least two-thirds of the outstanding Common Stock held by disinterested stockholders.
|
|
|
·
|
Maryland unsolicited takeover statute. Under Maryland law, the Company’s Board of Directors could adopt various anti-takeover provisions without the consent of stockholders. The adoption of such measures could discourage offers for the Company or make an acquisition of the Company more difficult, even when an acquisition would be in the best interest of its stockholders.
|
|
|
·
|
Anti-takeover protections of Operating Partnership agreement. Upon a change in control of the Company, the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership requires certain acquirers to maintain an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust structure with terms at least as favorable to the limited partners as are currently in place. For instance, the acquirer would be required to preserve the limited partner’s right to continue to hold tax-deferred partnership interests that are redeemable for capital stock of the acquirer. Exceptions would require the approval of two-thirds of the limited partners of the Operating Partnership (other than the Company). These provisions may make a change of control transaction involving the Company more complicated and therefore might decrease the likelihood of such a transaction occurring, even if such a transaction would be in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders.

Land Held for Development
We wholly owned 611 acres of development land at December 31, 2010. We estimate that we can develop approximately 5.8 million and 2.7 million rentable square feet of office and industrial space, respectively, on the 523 acres that we consider core, long-term holdings for our future development needs. Additionally, we are currently developing 172,000 square feet of build-to-suit office space on 11.6 acres of land in one of our joint ventures. Our development land is zoned and available for office and industrial development, and nearly all of the land has utility infrastructure in place. We believe that our commercially zoned and unencumbered land in existing business parks gives us a development advantage over other commercial real estate development companies in many of our markets.
We consider 88 acres of our wholly owned development land at December 31, 2010 to be non-core assets that are not necessary for our foreseeable future development needs. We intend to dispose of such non-core development land through sales to third parties or contributions to joint ventures. Approximately 4.4 acres with a net book value of $1.2 million are under contract to be sold and are included in real estate and other assets, net, held for sale in our Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

We are from time to time a party to a variety of legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of our business. We regularly assess the liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based on the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that we have incurred or will incur a loss and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is accrued and charged to income in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In other instances, because of the uncertainties related to both the probable outcome and amount or range of loss, a reasonable estimate of liability, if any, cannot be made. Based on the current expected outcome of such matters, none of these proceedings, claims or assessments is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company’s executive officers:

On December 31, 2010, the last reported stock price of the Common Stock on the NYSE was $ 31.85 per share and the Company had 1,005 common stockholders of record. There is no public trading market for the Common Units. On December 31, 2010, the Operating Partnership had 116 holders of record of Common Units (other than the Company). At December 31, 2010, there were 71.7 million shares of Common Stock outstanding and 3.8 million Common Units outstanding not owned by the Company.
Because the Company is a REIT, the partnership agreement requires the Operating Partnership to distribute at least enough cash for the Company to be able to distribute to its stockholders at least 90.0% of its REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors – Cash distributions reduce the amount of cash that would otherwise be available for other business purposes, including funding debt maturities or future growth initiatives.”
We generally expect to use cash flows from operating activities to fund distributions. The following factors will affect such cash flows and, accordingly, influence the decisions of the Company’s Board of Directors regarding distributions:
|
·
|
debt service requirements after taking into account debt covenants and the repayment and restructuring of certain indebtedness and the availability of alternative sources of debt and equity capital and their impact on our ability to refinance existing debt and grow our business;
|
|
·
|
scheduled increases in base rents of existing leases;
|
|
·
|
changes in rents attributable to the renewal of existing leases or replacement leases;
|
|
·
|
changes in occupancy rates at existing properties and execution of leases for newly acquired or developed properties;
|
|
·
|
operating expenses;
|
|
·
|
anticipated leasing capital expenditures attributable to the renewal of existing leases or replacement leases;
|
|
·
|
anticipated building improvements; and
|
|
·
|
expected cash flows from financing and investing activities.
|
The following stock price performance graph compares the performance of our Common Stock to the S&P 500, the Russell 2000 and the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index. The stock price performance graph assumes an investment of $100 in our Common Stock and the three indices on December 31, 2005 and further assumes the reinvestment of all dividends. Equity REITs are defined as those that derive more than 75.0% of their income from equity investments in real estate assets. The FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index includes all REITs not designated as Timber REITs listed on the NYSE, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System. Stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

The performance graph above is being furnished as part of this Annual Report solely in accordance with the requirement under Rule 14a-3(b)(9) to furnish the Company’s stockholders with such information and, therefore, is not deemed to be filed, or incorporated by reference in any filing, by the Company or the Operating Partnership under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
During 2010, cash dividends on Common Stock totaled $1.70 per share, $0.85 of which represented return of capital and $0.44 represented capital gains for income tax purposes. The minimum dividend per share of Common Stock required for the Company to maintain its REIT status was $0.32 per share in 2010.
During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,163 shares of Common Stock to holders of Common Units in the Operating Partnership upon the redemption of a like number of Common Units in private offerings exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Each of the holders of Common Units was an accredited investor under Rule 501 of the Securities Act. The resale of such shares was registered by the Company under the Securities Act.
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRIP”) under which holders of Common Stock may elect to automatically reinvest their dividends in additional shares of Common Stock and make optional cash payments for additional shares of Common Stock. The Company may elect to satisfy its DRIP obligations by issuing additional shares of Common Stock or causing the DRIP administrator to purchase Common Stock in the open market.
The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan pursuant to which employees generally may contribute up to 25.0% of their cash compensation for the purchase of Common Stock. At the end of each three-month offering period, each participant’s account balance, which includes accrued dividends, is applied to acquire shares of Common Stock at a cost that is calculated at 85.0% of the average closing price on the NYSE on the five consecutive days preceding the last day of the quarter.
Information about the Company’s equity compensation plans and other related stockholder matters is incorporated herein by reference to the Company’s Proxy Statement to be filed in connection with its annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 12, 2011.
The operating results of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 have been revised from previously reported amounts to reflect in discontinued operations the operations for those properties sold or held for sale which required discontinued operations presentation.

The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed equity REIT that provides leasing, management, development, construction and other customer-related services for our properties and for third parties. The Company conducts virtually all of its activities through the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is managed by the Company, its sole general partner. At December 31, 2010, we owned or had an interest in 330 in-service office, industrial and retail properties, encompassing approximately 32.4 million square feet, 96 rental residential units and 26 for-sale residential condominiums, which includes a 12.5% interest in a 261,000 square foot office property directly owned by the Company and thus is included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, but not included in the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As of that date, we also owned or had an interest in development land and other properties under development as described under “Item 1. Business” and “Item 2. Properties.” We are based in Raleigh, NC, and our properties and development land are located in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained elsewhere herein.

Executive Summary
The Company is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed equity REIT and one of the largest owners and operators of office, industrial and retail properties in nine markets in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States. Our Strategic Plan focuses on:
|
·
|
owning high-quality, differentiated real estate assets in the better submarkets in our core markets;
|
|
·
|
improving the operating results of our existing properties through concentrated leasing, asset management, cost control and customer service efforts;
|
|
·
|
developing and acquiring office properties in in-fill and central business district locations that improve the overall quality of our portfolio and generate attractive returns over the long-term for our stockholders;
|
|
·
|
selectively disposing of properties no longer considered to be core holdings primarily due to location, age, quality and overall strategic fit; and
|
|
·
|
maintaining a conservative, flexible balance sheet with ample liquidity to meet our funding needs and growth prospects.
|
While we own and operate a limited number of industrial, retail and residential properties, our operating results depend heavily on successfully leasing and operating our office properties. Economic growth and employment levels in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee are and will continue to be important determinative factors in predicting our future operating results.
The key components affecting our rental and other revenues are average occupancy, rental rates, new developments placed in service, acquisitions and dispositions. Average occupancy generally increases during times of improving economic growth, as our ability to lease space outpaces vacancies that occur upon the expirations of existing leases. Average occupancy generally declines during times of slower economic growth, when new vacancies tend to outpace our ability to lease space. Asset acquisitions, dispositions and new developments placed in service directly impact our rental revenues and could impact our average occupancy, depending upon the occupancy rate of the properties that are acquired, sold or placed in service. A further indicator of the predictability of future revenues is the expected lease expirations of our portfolio. As a result, in addition to seeking to increase our average occupancy by leasing current vacant space, we also must concentrate our leasing efforts on renewing leases on expiring space. For more information regarding our lease expirations, see “Item 2. Properties – Lease Expirations.” We expect average occupancy to be slightly higher in 2011 as compared to 2010.
Whether or not our rental revenue tracks average occupancy proportionally depends upon whether rents under new leases signed are higher or lower than the rents under the previous leases. The average rental rate per square foot on second generation renewal and re-let leases signed in our Wholly Owned Properties compared to the rent under the previous leases (based on straight line rental rates) was slightly higher in 2010 as compared to 2009. We expect this slight improvement to continue in 2011. The annualized rental revenues from second generation leases signed during any particular year is generally less than 15% of our total annual rental revenues.
We strive to maintain a diverse, stable and creditworthy customer base. We have an internal guideline whereby the Company’s Board of Directors must approve in advance any customer who would account for more than 3% of our annualized revenues on a pro forma basis. Currently, no customer accounts for more than 3% of our annualized revenues other than the federal government, which accounts for 9.7% of our annualized revenues, and AT&T, which accounts for 3.5% of our annualized revenues. See “Item 2. Properties – Customers.”
Our expenses primarily consist of rental property expenses, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. From time to time, expenses also include impairments of assets held for use. Rental property expenses are expenses associated with our ownership and operation of rental properties and include expenses that vary somewhat proportionately to occupancy levels, such as common area maintenance and utilities, and expenses that do not vary based on occupancy, such as property taxes and insurance. Depreciation and amortization is a non-cash expense associated with the ownership of real property and generally remains relatively consistent each year, unless we buy, place in service or sell assets, since we depreciate our properties and related building and tenant improvement assets on a straight-line basis over a fixed life. General and administrative expenses, net of amounts capitalized, consist primarily of management and employee salaries and other personnel costs, corporate overhead and long-term incentive compensation.
We anticipate commencing up to $200 million of new development in 2011. Any such projects would not be placed in service until 2012 or beyond. We also anticipate acquiring up to $200 million of new properties and selling up to $75 million of non-core properties in 2011.
We intend to maintain a conservative and flexible balance sheet that allows us to capitalize on favorable development and acquisition opportunities as they arise. As of December 31, 2010, our mortgages and notes payable represented 41.1% of the undepreciated book value of our assets. We expect this ratio to remain under 50% during 2011.
Comparison of 2010 to 2009
Rental and Other Revenues
Rental and other revenues from continuing operations were 2.9% higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to the acquisitions of an office property in Memphis, TN in 2010 and an office property in Tampa, FL in 2009, the contribution of development properties recently placed in service and slightly higher average occupancy. We expect 2011 rental and other revenues, adjusted for any discontinued operations, to increase over 2010 due to slightly higher average occupancy as a result of slowly improving economic conditions and the full year contribution of acquisitions closed and development projects delivered during 2010.
Operating Expenses
Rental property and other expenses were 1.0% higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to our recent acquisition activity and the contribution of development properties recently placed in service, offset by lower expenses resulting from management’s continuing efforts to reduce operating expenses in our same property portfolio. We expect 2011 rental property and other expenses, adjusted for any discontinued operations, to increase over 2010 due to the full year contribution of acquisitions closed and development projects delivered during 2010. Same property operating expenses are expected to be slightly higher in 2011 as compared to 2010.
Operating margin, defined as rental and other revenues less rental property and other expenses expressed as a percentage of rental and other revenues, was higher at 64.5% in 2010 as compared to 63.8% in 2009. Operating margin is expected to be similar in 2011 as compared to 2010.
Depreciation and amortization was 4.4% higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to our recent acquisition activity and the contribution of development properties recently placed in service.
We recorded impairment of assets held for use of $2.6 million in 2009 related to four office properties located in Winston-Salem, NC. Impairments can arise from a number of factors; accordingly, there can be no assurances that we will not be required to record additional impairment charges in the future.
General and administrative expenses were 10.2% lower in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to lower incentive compensation, a decrease in the value of marketable securities held under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, and lower expenses from management’s continuing efforts to reduce general and administrative expenses. We anticipate continued reductions in general and administrative expenses in 2011, adjusted for changes in value of marketable securities held under our deferred compensation plan.
Other Income
Other income was $3.9 million lower in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to a decrease in the value of marketable securities held under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan and gains on debt extinguishment and favorable cash settlement of a real estate related legal claim in 2009. We anticipate other income will be slightly higher in 2011 as compared to 2010 due to the full year impact of interest income related to seller financing provided to the buyers of certain non-core assets in 2010.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was 7.6% higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to lower capitalized interest from decreased development in process, higher average interest rates and higher fees on our new revolving credit facility partially offset by lower average debt balances and lower swap interest expense. We anticipate interest expense will increase modestly in 2011 due to slightly higher average debt balances from the assumption of debt related to the acquisition of an office property in Memphis, TN, higher average floating interest rates and higher interest expense on our new $200.0 million bank term loan compared to our $137.5 million term loan that is scheduled to mature later in the first quarter of 2011.
Gains on For-Sale Residential Condominiums
In 2010 and 2009, gains on for-sale residential condominiums aggregated $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, resulting from sales of majority-owned residential condominiums. Our partner’s interest in these gains was $(0.4) million and $(0.5) million, respectively, and was recorded as noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates. Our partner’s estimated economic interest decreased from 14% at December 31, 2009 to 7% during the year ended December 31, 2010 due to changes in the projected timing of sales and related gains resulting in the allocation of a loss to the partner’s non-controlling interest. On December 31, 2010, we acquired our partner’s interest for $0.5 million. We have 25 for-sale residential condominiums as of February 2, 2011. We anticipate these condominiums will be sold over the next 24 months.
Gains on Disposition of Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates
Gains on disposition of investment in unconsolidated affiliates were $25.3 million higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 due to the disposition of our equity interests in a series of unconsolidated joint ventures relating to properties in Des Moines, IA in 2010.
Discontinued Operations
The Company classified income of $0.3 million and $14.3 million as discontinued operations in 2010 and 2009, respectively. These amounts relate to 1.9 million square feet of office, industrial and retail properties sold during 2010 and 2009. The $14.3 million of income in 2009 includes impairment of $11.0 million on certain of these properties and gains on disposition of $21.5 million on certain other of these properties.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $1.6 million lower in 2010 as compared to 2009 due to the disposition of our equity interests in a series of unconsolidated joint ventures relating to properties in Des Moines, IA in 2010 and our proportionate share of a gain on disposition of property in one of our joint ventures in 2009. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates is expected to be lower in 2011 compared to 2010 due to the full year impact of the Des Moines sale and lower average occupancy in our remaining joint ventures.
Comparison of 2009 to 2008
Rental and Other Revenues
Rental and other revenues from continuing operations were 1.1% higher in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to the contribution of development properties placed in service in 2008 and 2009, the acquisitions of an office property in Memphis, TN in 2008 and an office property in Tampa, FL in 2009 and higher average rental rates, partly offset by lower revenues in our same property portfolio from lower average occupancy in 2009.
Operating Expenses
Rental property and other expenses were 1.8% higher in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to our acquisition activity and the contribution of development properties placed in service in 2008 and 2009, partly offset by lower expenses from management’s efforts to reduce operating expenses in our same property portfolio. The overall reduction in same property operating expenses was partly offset by higher real estate taxes and utility rate increases.
Operating margin, defined as rental and other revenues less rental property and other expenses expressed as a percentage of rental and other revenues, was slightly lower at 63.8% in 2009 as compared to 64.1% in 2008.
Depreciation and amortization was 5.9% higher in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to our acquisition activity and the contribution of development properties placed in service in 2008 and 2009.
We recorded impairment of assets held for use of $2.6 million and $3.4 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to four office properties located in Winston-Salem, NC.
General and administrative expenses were 3.6% lower in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to lower salaries, benefits and incentive compensation mostly from reduced headcount and lower expenses from unsuccessful development projects. Partly offsetting this decrease was an increase in the value of marketable securities held under our deferred compensation plan and lower capitalization of development and leasing costs.
Other Income
Other income was $5.7 million higher in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to the year-over-year change in the valuation adjustment of marketable securities held under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, favorable cash settlement of a real estate-related legal claim and gains on the extinguishment of certain outstanding bonds.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was 11.9% lower in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings during 2009 mostly due to the application of proceeds of our sales of Common Stock in September 2008 and June 2009 to pay down debt and lower average floating interest rates, partly offset by lower capitalized interest resulting from decreased development in process.
Gains on For-Sale Residential Condominiums
In 2009 and 2008, gains on for-sale residential condominiums aggregated $0.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, resulting from sales of majority-owned residential condominiums and related forfeitures of earnest money deposits. Our partner’s interest in these gains was $(0.5) million and $1.3 million, respectively. Our partner’s estimated economic interest decreased from 25% at December 31, 2008 to 14% at December 31, 2009 due to changes in the projected timing of sales and related gains resulting in the allocation of a loss to the partner’s non-controlling interest in 2009.
Discontinued Operations
The Company classified income/(loss) of $14.3 million and $(3.0) million as discontinued operations in 2009 and 2008, respectively. These amounts relate to 2.6 million square feet of office, industrial and retail properties and 13 rental residential units sold during 2010, 2009 and 2008. These balances include impairment of $11.0 million and $29.4 million on certain of these properties and $21.5 million and $18.5 million of gains on disposition of certain other of these properties in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership; Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Affiliates
The Company’s net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership was $1.6 million higher in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to higher income from continuing operations, after preferred equity distributions, of the Operating Partnership.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates was $2.0 million lower in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to lower gains on for-sale residential condominiums.
Dividends on Preferred Equity
Dividends on preferred equity were 31.6% lower in 2009 as compared to 2008 due to the retirement of $53.8 million of preferred equity in 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our goal is to maintain a conservative and flexible balance sheet with access to multiple sources of debt and equity capital and sufficient availability under our credit facilities. We generally use rents received from customers to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures and distributions. To fund property acquisitions, development activity or building renovations and repay debt upon maturity, we may use current cash balances, sell assets, obtain new debt and/or issue equity. Our debt generally consists of mortgage debt, unsecured debt securities and borrowings under our secured and unsecured credit facilities.

In calculating cash flow from operating activities, depreciation and amortization, which are non-cash expenses, are added back to net income. As a result, we have historically generated a positive amount of cash from operating activities. From period to period, cash flow from operations depends primarily upon changes in our net income, as discussed more fully above under “Results of Operations,” changes in receivables and payables, and net additions or decreases in our overall portfolio, which affect the amount of depreciation and amortization expense.
Cash used in or provided by investing activities generally relates to capitalized costs incurred for leasing and major building improvements and our acquisition, development, disposition and joint venture capital activity. During periods of significant net acquisition and/or development activity, our cash used in such investing activities will generally exceed cash provided by investing activities, which typically consists of cash received upon the sale of properties and distributions of capital from our joint ventures.
Cash used in or provided by financing activities generally relates to distributions, incurrence and repayment of debt and issuances, repurchases or redemptions of Common Stock, Common Units and Preferred Stock. As discussed previously, we use a significant amount of our cash to fund distributions. Whether or not we have increases in the outstanding balances of debt during a period depends generally upon the net effect of our acquisition, disposition, development and joint venture activity. We generally use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes, which means that during any given period, in order to minimize interest expense, we may record significant repayments and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to cash rents from recently acquired buildings and development properties recently placed in service, partly offset by the impact of dispositions and lower cash rents in our same property portfolio.
Cash used in investing activities was $16.3 million higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to higher leasing capital expenditures, higher acquisitions and lower dispositions in 2010, partly offset by lower development activities in 2010.
Cash used in financing activities was $4.5 million higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to higher dividends resulting from a higher number of outstanding shares of Common Stock in 2010 from our May 2009 equity offering.

Our mortgages and notes payable represented 37.7% of our total market capitalization and were comprised of $754.4 million of secured indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 6.14% and $768.5 million of unsecured indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 5.35%. At December 31, 2010, our outstanding mortgages and notes payable and financing obligations were secured by real estate assets with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $1.2 billion.
Current and Future Cash Needs
Rental and other revenues are our principal source of funds to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. Other sources of funds for short-term liquidity needs include available working capital and borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility and secured construction credit facility (which had $379.5 million and $17.9 million of availability, respectively, at February 2, 2011). Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses, interest and principal amortization on our debt, distributions and capital expenditures, including building improvement costs, tenant improvement costs and lease commissions. Building improvements are capital costs to maintain existing buildings not typically related to a specific customer. Tenant improvements are the costs required to customize space for the specific needs of customers. We anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities, together with cash available from borrowings under our credit facilities, will be adequate to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.
Our long-term liquidity uses generally consist of the retirement or refinancing of debt upon maturity (including mortgage debt, our revolving and construction credit facilities, term loans and other unsecured debt), funding of existing and new building development or land infrastructure projects and funding acquisitions of buildings and development land. Additionally, we may, from time to time, retire some or all of our remaining outstanding Preferred Stock and/or unsecured debt securities through redemptions, open market repurchases, privately negotiated acquisitions or otherwise.
We expect to meet our liquidity needs through a combination of:
|
·
|
cash flow from operating activities;
|
|
·
|
borrowings under our credit facilities;
|
|
·
|
the issuance of unsecured debt;
|
|
·
|
the issuance of secured debt;
|
|
·
|
the issuance of equity securities by the Company or the Operating Partnership; and
|
|
·
|
the disposition of non-core assets.
|
Distributions
To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must pay dividends to stockholders that are at least 90.0% of its annual REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. The partnership agreement requires the Operating Partnership to distribute at least enough cash for the Company to be able to pay such dividends. The Company’s REIT taxable income, as determined by the federal tax laws, does not equal its net income under US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition, although capital gains are not required to be distributed to maintain REIT status, capital gains, if any, are subject to federal and state income tax unless such gains are distributed to stockholders.
Cash distributions reduce the amount of cash that would otherwise be available for other business purposes, including funding debt maturities or future growth initiatives. The amount of future distributions that will be made is at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. For a discussion of the factors that will influence decisions of the Board of Directors regarding distributions, see “Item 5.

Our $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature on February 21, 2013 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $50.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming we continue to have three publicly announced ratings from the credit rating agencies, the interest rate and facility fee under our revolving credit facility are based on the lower of the two highest publicly announced ratings. Based on our current credit ratings, the interest rate is LIBOR plus 290 basis points and the annual facility fee is 60 basis points. We expect to use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and for the short-term funding of our development and acquisition activity and, in certain instances, the repayment of other debt. Continuing ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility allows us to quickly capitalize on strategic opportunities at short-term interest rates. There was $30.0 million and $20.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011, respectively. At both December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011, we had $0.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011 was $369.5 million and $379.5 million, respectively.
Our $70.0 million secured construction facility, of which $52.1 million was outstanding at December 31, 2010, is scheduled to mature on December 20, 2011. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have the option to extend the maturity date for an additional one-year period. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 85 basis points. This facility had $17.9 million of availability at December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011.
On February 2, 2011, we obtained a $200.0 million, five-year unsecured bank term loan bearing interest of LIBOR plus 220 basis points. The funding of this loan will occur on February 25, 2011 and the proceeds will be used on such date to pay off at maturity a $137.5 million unsecured bank term loan, amounts then outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
In 2010, we repaid $10.0 million of our $20.0 million, three-year unsecured term loan. Additionally, we repaid the $5.8 million remaining balance then outstanding on the mortgage payable secured by our 96 rental residential units to unencumber these assets for a planned development project. We incurred a penalty of $0.6 million related to this early repayment, which is included in loss on debt extinguishment in 2010.
We regularly evaluate the financial condition of the lenders that participate in our credit facilities using publicly available information. Based on this review, we currently expect our lenders, which are major financial institutions, to perform their obligations under our existing facilities.
Covenant Compliance
We are currently in compliance with the covenants and other requirements with respect to our outstanding debt. Although we expect to remain in compliance with these covenants and ratios for at least the next year, depending upon our future operating performance, property and financing transactions and general economic conditions, we cannot assure you that we will continue to be in compliance.
Our revolving credit facility and bank terms require us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial requirements. Upon an event of default on the revolving credit facility, the lenders having at least 66.7% of the total commitments under the revolving credit facility can accelerate all borrowings then outstanding, and we could be prohibited from borrowing any further amounts under our revolving credit facility, which would adversely affect our ability to fund our operations.
The Operating Partnership has $391.0 million carrying amount of 2017 bonds outstanding and $200.0 million carrying amount of 2018 bonds outstanding. The indenture that governs these outstanding notes requires us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial ratios. The trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of either series of bonds can accelerate the principal amount of such series upon written notice of a default that remains uncured after 60 days.
We may not be able to repay, refinance or extend any or all of our debt at maturity or upon any acceleration. If any refinancing is done at higher interest rates, the increased interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to pay distributions. Any such refinancing could also impose tighter financial ratios and other covenants that restrict our ability to take actions that could otherwise be in our best interest, such as funding new development activity, making opportunistic acquisitions, repurchasing our securities or paying distributions.

The interest payments due on mortgages and notes payable are based on the stated rates for the fixed rate debt and on the rates in effect at December 31, 2010 for the variable rate debt. The weighted average interest rate on the fixed and variable rate debt was 6.43% and 1.51%, respectively, at December 31, 2010. For additional information about our mortgages and notes payable, see Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
For additional information about our financing obligations, see Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information about purchase obligations, operating lease obligations and other long term obligations, see Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We generally account for our investments in less than majority owned joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies using the equity method. As a result, these joint ventures are not included in our Consolidated Financial Statements, other than as investment in unconsolidated affiliates and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.
At December 31, 2010, our unconsolidated joint ventures had $672.7 million of total assets and $451.1 million of total liabilities. Our weighted average equity interest based on the total assets of these unconsolidated joint ventures was 34.0%. During 2010, these unconsolidated joint ventures earned $3.6 million of aggregate net income, of which our share was $1.5 million. Additionally, we recorded $2.4 million of purchase accounting and other adjustments related primarily to management and leasing fees in equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. For additional information about our unconsolidated joint venture activity, see Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
At December 31, 2010, our unconsolidated joint ventures had $424.8 million of outstanding mortgage debt. The following table sets forth the scheduled maturities of the Company’s proportionate share of the outstanding debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures at December 31, 2010 ($ in thousands):

All of this joint venture debt is non-recourse to us except in the case of customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations.
During the second quarter of 2010, we sold our equity interests in a series of unconsolidated joint ventures relating to properties in Des Moines, IA. The assets in the joint ventures included 1.7 million square feet of office, 788,000 square feet of industrial and 45,000 square feet of retail properties, as well as 418 apartment units. In connection with the closing, we received $15.0 million in cash. We had a negative book basis in certain of the joint ventures, primarily as a result of prior cash distributions to the partners. Accordingly, we recorded gain on disposition of investment in unconsolidated affiliates of $25.3 million in the second quarter of 2010. As of the closing date, the joint ventures had approximately $170 million of secured debt, which was non-recourse to us except (1) in the case of customary exceptions pertaining to matters such as misuse of funds, borrower bankruptcy, unpermitted transfers, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations and (2) approximately $9.0 million of direct and indirect guarantees. We have been released by the applicable lenders from all such direct and indirect guarantees and we have no ongoing lender liability relating to such customary exceptions to non-recourse liability with respect to most, but not all, of the debt. The buyer has agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all future losses that we suffer as a result of our prior investment in the joint ventures (other than losses directly resulting from our acts or omissions). In the event we are exposed to any such future loss, our financial condition and operating results would not be adversely affected unless the buyer defaults on its indemnification obligation.
In connection with the disposition of six industrial properties in Piedmont Triad, NC in the second quarter of 2010, we entered into a limited rent guarantee agreement with the buyer relating to an existing 237,500 square foot lease with one customer, who has leased space in the properties for 14 years. This agreement guarantees the payment of rent for an approximate two-year period from March 2011 through June 2013 in the event the customer exercises its limited termination right. As of December 31, 2010, our maximum exposure under this rent guarantee agreement was approximately $0.7 million. No accrual has been recorded for this guarantee because we have concluded that a loss is not probable.
Financing Arrangements
- SF-HIW Harborview Plaza, LP (“Harborview”)
Our joint venture partner in Harborview has the right to put its 80.0% equity interest in the joint venture to us in exchange for cash at any time during the one-year period commencing September 11, 2014. The value of the 80.0% equity interest will be determined at the time that our partner elects to exercise its put right, if ever, based upon the then fair market value of Harborview LP’s assets and liabilities, less 3.0%, which amount was intended to cover the normal costs of a sale transaction. Because of the put option, this transaction is accounted for as a financing transaction. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations related to Harborview Plaza, the property owned by Harborview LP remain in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
As a result, we established a financing obligation equal to the $12.7 million net equity contributed by the other partner. At the end of each reporting period, the balance of the gross financing obligation is adjusted to equal the greater of the original financing obligation or the current fair value of the put option discussed above. This financing obligation, net of payments made to our joint venture partner, is adjusted by a related valuation allowance account, which is being amortized prospectively through September 2014 as interest expense on financing obligation. The fair value of the put option was $10.2 million and $12.2 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Additionally, the net income from the operations before depreciation of Harborview Plaza allocable to the 80.0% partner is recorded as interest expense on financing obligation. We continue to depreciate the property and record all of the depreciation on our books. At such time as the put option expires or is otherwise terminated, we will record the transaction as a partial sale and recognize gain accordingly.
- Tax Increment Financing Bond
In connection with tax increment financing for construction of a public garage related to a wholly owned office building, we are obligated to pay fixed special assessments over a 20-year period ending in 2019. The net present value of these assessments, discounted at 6.93% at the inception of the obligation, which represents the interest rate on the underlying bond financing, is recorded as a financing obligation. We receive special tax revenues and property tax rebates recorded in interest and other income, which are intended, but not guaranteed, to provide funds to pay the special assessments. We acquired the underlying bond in a privately negotiated transaction in 2007 (see Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).
- Capitalized Ground Lease Obligation
The capitalized ground lease obligation represents an obligation to the lessor of land on which we constructed a building. We are obligated to make fixed payments to the lessor through October 2022 and the lease provides for fixed price purchase options in the ninth and tenth years of the lease. We intend to exercise the purchase option in order to prevent an economic penalty related to conveying the building to the lessor at the expiration of the lease. The net present value of the fixed rental payments and purchase option through the ninth year was calculated at the inception of the lease using a discount rate of 7.1%. The assets and liabilities under the capital lease are recorded at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments or the fair value. The liability accretes into interest expense for the difference between the interest rate on the financing obligation and the fixed payments. The accretion will continue until the liability equals the purchase option of the land in the ninth year of the lease.
Interest Rate Hedging Activities
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility, construction facility and bank term loans bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of secured and unsecured long-term financings and the issuance of unsecured debt securities, typically bears interest at fixed rates although some loans bear interest at variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. The interest rate on all of our variable rate debt is generally adjusted at one or three month intervals, subject to settlements under these interest rate hedge contracts. We also enter into treasury lock or similar agreements from time to time in order to limit our exposure to an increase in interest rates with respect to future debt offerings. At December 31, 2010, we have no outstanding interest rate hedge contracts.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
The policies used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements are described in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. However, certain of our significant accounting policies contain an increased level of assumptions used or estimates made in determining their impact in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Management has reviewed and determined the appropriateness of our critical accounting policies and estimates with the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
We consider our critical accounting estimates to be those used in the determination of the reported amounts and disclosure related to the following:
|

·
|
Real estate and related assets;
|
|
|
·
|
Impairment of long-lived assets and investments in unconsolidated affiliates;
|
|
|
·

|
|
|
·
|

|
Allowance for doubtful accounts.

Real Estate and Related Assets
Real estate and related assets are recorded at cost and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renovations, replacements and other expenditures that improve or extend the life of assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 40 years for buildings and depreciable land infrastructure costs, 15 years for building improvements and five to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over initial fixed terms of the respective leases, which generally are from three to 10 years.
Expenditures directly related to the development and construction of real estate assets are included in net real estate assets and are stated at depreciated cost. Development expenditures include pre-construction costs essential to the development of properties, development and construction costs, interest costs on qualifying assets, real estate taxes, development personnel salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. Interest and other carrying costs are capitalized until the building is ready for its intended use, but not later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and ready for its intended use upon the completion of tenant improvements. We cease capitalization on the portion that is substantially completed and occupied or held available for occupancy, and capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
Expenditures directly related to the leasing of properties are included in deferred financing and leasing costs and are stated at amortized cost. Such expenditures are part of the investment necessary to execute leases and, therefore, are classified as investment activities in the statement of cash flows. All leasing commissions paid to third parties for new leases or lease renewals are capitalized. Internal leasing costs include primarily compensation, benefits and other costs, such as legal fees related to leasing activities, which are incurred in connection with successfully securing leases of properties. Capitalized leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial fixed terms of the respective leases, which generally are from three to 10 years. Estimated costs related to unsuccessful activities are expensed as incurred.
We record liabilities for the performance of asset retirement activities when the obligation to perform such activities is unconditional, whether or not the timing or method of settlement of the obligation may be conditional on a future event.
Upon the acquisition of real estate assets, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible assets such as land, buildings and tenant improvements, intangible assets such as above and below market leases, acquired in-place leases, customer relationships and other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates as well as available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
The above and below market rate portions of leases acquired in connection with property acquisitions are recorded in deferred financing and leasing costs or in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities at their fair value. Fair value is calculated as the present value of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) our estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired and measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases and the accrued below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases and any below market option periods.
In-place leases acquired are recorded at their fair value in deferred financing and leasing costs and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the respective lease. The value of in-place leases is based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each customer’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, the customer’s credit quality and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider tenant improvements, leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses.
Real estate and other assets are classified as long-lived assets held for use or as long-lived assets held for sale. Real estate is classified as held for sale when the Company’s Board of Directors, or its investment committee has approved the sale of the asset, a legally enforceable contract has been executed and the buyer’s due diligence period has expired.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
With respect to assets classified as held for use, if events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant decline in occupancy, identification of materially adverse legal or environmental factors, change in our designation of an asset to non-core which impacts the anticipated holding period or market value less than cost) indicate that the carrying value may be impaired, an impairment analysis is performed. Such analysis is generally performed at the property level, except when an asset is part of an interdependent group (e.g. office park) and consists of determining whether the asset’s carrying amount will be recovered from its undiscounted estimated future operating and residual cash flows. These cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates, costs to operate each property and expected ownership periods. For properties under development, the cash flows are based on expected service potential of the asset (group) when development is substantially complete.
If the carrying amount of a held for use asset exceeds the sum of its undiscounted future operating and residual cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between estimated fair value of the asset and the carrying amount. We generally estimate the fair value of assets held for use by using discounted cash flow analysis. In some instances, appraisal information may be available and is used in addition to the discounted cash flow analysis. As the factors used in generating these cash flows are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the discounted and/or undiscounted future operating and residual cash flows estimated by us in our impairment analyses or those established by appraisal may not be achieved and we may be required to recognize future impairment losses on our properties held for use.
We record assets held for sale (including for-sale residential condominiums) at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value. Fair value of assets held for sale is equal to the estimated or contracted sales price with a potential buyer, less costs to sell. The impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value.
We analyze our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment. Such analysis consists of determining whether an expected loss in market value of an investment is other than temporary by evaluating the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and our intent and ability to retain our investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. As the factors used in this analysis are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, we may be required to recognize future impairment losses on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
Sales of Real Estate
For sales transactions meeting the requirements for full profit recognition, the related assets and liabilities are removed from the balance sheet and the resultant gain or loss is recorded in the period the transaction closes. For sales transactions with continuing involvement after the sale, if the continuing involvement with the property is limited by the terms of the sales contract, profit is recognized at the time of sale and is reduced by the maximum exposure to loss related to the nature of the continuing involvement. Sales to entities in which we have or receive an interest are accounted for using partial sale accounting.
For transactions that do not meet the criteria for a sale, we evaluate the nature of the continuing involvement, including put and call provisions, if present, and account for the transaction as a financing arrangement, profit-sharing arrangement, leasing arrangement or other alternate method of accounting, rather than as a sale, based on the nature and extent of the continuing involvement. Some transactions may have numerous forms of continuing involvement. In those cases, we determine which method is most appropriate based on the substance of the transaction.
If we have an obligation to repurchase the property at a higher price or at a future indeterminable value (such as fair market value), or we guarantee the return of the buyer’s investment or a return on that investment for an extended period, we account for such transaction as a financing arrangement. For transactions treated as financing arrangements, we record the amounts received from the buyer as a financing obligation and continue to keep the property and related accounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations of the property, net of expenses other than depreciation, are reflected as interest expense on the financing obligation. If the transaction includes an obligation or option to repurchase the asset at a higher price, additional interest is recorded to accrete the liability to the repurchase price. For options or obligations to repurchase the asset at fair market value at the end of each reporting period, the balance of the liability is adjusted to equal the then current fair value to the extent fair value exceeds the original financing obligation. The corresponding debit or credit is recorded to a related discount account and the revised discount is amortized over the expected term until termination of the option or obligation. If it is unlikely such option will be exercised, the transaction is accounted for under the deposit method or profit-sharing method. If we have an obligation or option to repurchase at a lower price, the transaction is accounted for as a leasing arrangement. At such time as a repurchase obligation expires, a sale is recorded and gain recognized.
If we retain an interest in the buyer and provide certain rent guarantees or other forms of support where the maximum exposure to loss exceeds the gain, we account for such transaction as a profit-sharing arrangement. For transactions treated as profit-sharing arrangements, we record a profit-sharing obligation for the amount of equity contributed by the other partner and continue to keep the property and related accounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations of the property, net of expenses other than depreciation, are allocated to the other partner for its percentage interest and reflected as “co-venture expense” in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In future periods, a sale is recorded and profit is recognized when the remaining maximum exposure to loss is reduced below the amount of gain deferred.
Rental and Other Revenues
Minimum contractual rents from leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. This means that, with respect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenue recognized for the period. Straight-line rental revenue is commenced when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straight-line rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. Contingent rental revenue, such as percentage rent, is accrued when the contingency is removed. Termination fee income is recognized as revenue at the later of when the customer has vacated the space or the lease has expired and the following conditions are met: a fully executed lease termination agreement has been delivered; the amount of the fee is determinable; and collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. Rental revenue reductions related to co-tenancy lease provisions, if any, are accrued when events have occurred that trigger such provisions.
Property operating cost recoveries from customers (“cost reimbursements”) are determined on a calendar year and a lease-by-lease basis. The most common types of cost reimbursements in our leases are common area maintenance (“CAM”) and real estate taxes, for which the customer pays its pro-rata share of operating and administrative expenses and real estate taxes in excess of a base year. The computation of property operating cost recovery income from customers is complex and involves numerous judgments, including the interpretation of terms and other customer lease provisions. Leases are not uniform in dealing with such cost reimbursements and there are many variations in the computation. Many customers make monthly fixed payments of CAM, real estate taxes and other cost reimbursement items. We accrue income related to these payments each month. We make quarterly accrual adjustments, positive or negative, to cost recovery income to adjust the recorded amounts to our best estimate of the final annual amounts to be billed and collected with respect to the cost reimbursements. After the end of the calendar year, we compute each customer’s final cost reimbursements and, after considering amounts paid by the customer during the year, issue a bill or credit for the appropriate amount to the customer. The differences between the amounts billed less previously received payments and the accrual adjustment are recorded as increases or decreases to cost recovery income when the final bills are prepared, which occurs during the first half of the subsequent year.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable, accrued straight-line rents receivable and mortgages and notes receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. We regularly evaluate the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of our customer, historical trends of the customer and changes in customer payment terms. Additionally, with respect to customers in bankruptcy, we estimate the probable recovery through bankruptcy claims and adjust the allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. If our assumptions regarding the collectability of receivables prove incorrect, we could experience losses in excess of our allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance and its related receivable are written-off when we have concluded there is a low probability of collection.
Non-Gaap Measures - FFO and NOI
The Company believes that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are beneficial to management and investors and are important indicators of the performance of any equity REIT. Because FFO and FFO per share calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets, which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. Management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient on a standalone basis. As a result, management believes that the use of FFO and FFO per share, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s performance relative to its competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities.
FFO and FFO per share are non-GAAP financial measures and therefore do not represent net income or net income per share as defined by GAAP. Net income and net income per share as defined by GAAP are the most relevant measures in determining the Company’s operating performance because FFO and FFO per share include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization. Furthermore, FFO per share does not depict the amount that accrues directly to the stockholders’ benefit. Accordingly, FFO and FFO per share should never be considered as alternatives to net income or net income per share as indicators of the Company’s operating performance.
The Company’s presentation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which is calculated as follows:
|
|
·
|
Net income/(loss) computed in accordance with GAAP;
|
|
|
·
|
Less dividends to holders of Preferred Stock and less excess of Preferred Stock redemption cost over carrying value;
|
|
|
·
|
Less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated affliates;
|
|
|
·
|
Plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets;
|
|
|
·
|
Less gains, or plus losses, from sales of depreciable operating properties (but excluding impairment losses) and excluding items that are classified as extraordinary items under GAAP;
|
|
|
·
|
Plus or minus adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures (to reflect funds from operations on the same basis); and
|
|
|
·
|
Plus or minus adjustments for depreciation and amortization and gains/(losses) on sales and noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates, related to discontinued operations.
|
In calculating FFO, the Company adds back net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, which the Company believes is consistent with standard industry practice for REITs that operate through an UPREIT structure. The Company believes that it is important to present FFO on an as-converted basis since all of the Common Units not owned by the Company are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for shares of its Common Stock.
Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
The Company’s FFO and FFO per share are summarized in the following table ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):

In addition, the Company believes net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) and same property NOI are beneficial to management and investors and are important indicators of the performance of any equity REIT. Management believes that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s property operating performance because it provides a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or FFO. The Company defines NOI as rental and other revenues from continuing operations, less rental property and other expenses from continuing operations. The Company defines same property NOI as NOI for the Company’s in-service properties that were wholly-owned during the entirety of the periods presented. Other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate NOI and same property NOI and accordingly the Company’s NOI and same property NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.
The following table sets forth the Company’s NOI and same property NOI:

The effects of potential changes in interest rates are discussed below. Our market risk discussion includes “forward-looking statements” and represents an estimate of possible changes in fair value or future earnings that would occur assuming hypothetical future movements in interest rates. Actual future results may differ materially from those presented. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our accounting policies and other information related to these financial instruments.
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our debt consists of secured and unsecured long-term financings, unsecured debt securities, loans and credit facilities, which typically bear interest at fixed rates although some loans bear interest at variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We generally do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
At December 31, 2010, we had $1,295.8 million principal amount of fixed rate debt outstanding. The estimated aggregate fair market value of this debt at December 31, 2010 was $1,353.8 million. If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher, the aggregate fair market value of our fixed rate debt at December 31, 2010 would have been approximately $52.0 million lower. If interest rates had been 100 basis points lower, the aggregate fair market value of our fixed rate debt at December 31, 2010 would have been approximately $55.0 million higher.
At December 31, 2010, we had $229.6 million principal amount of variable rate debt outstanding. The estimated aggregate fair market value of this debt at December 31, 2010 was $227.7 million. If the weighted average interest rate on this variable rate debt had been 100 basis points higher or lower at December 31, 2010, our interest expense relating to this debt would have decreased or increased by approximately $2.3 million.
We have no outstanding interest rate hedge contracts at December 31, 2010.

General
The purpose of this section is to discuss our controls and procedures. The statements in this section represent the conclusions of Edward J. Fritsch, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Terry L. Stevens, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).
The CEO and CFO evaluations of our controls and procedures include a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the controls’ implementation by us and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Annual Report. We seek to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, is undertaken. Our controls and procedures are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by or through the following:
|
·
|
activities undertaken and reports issued by employees and third parties responsible for testing our internal control over financial reporting;
|
|
·
|
quarterly sub-certifications by representatives from appropriate business and accounting functions to support the CEO’s and CFO’s evaluations of our controls and procedures;
|
|
·
|
other personnel in our finance and accounting organization;
|
|
·
|
members of our internal disclosure committee; and
|
|
·
|
members of the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
|
We do not expect that our controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Annual Report on The Company’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company is required to establish and maintain internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
|
|
·
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets;
|
|
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and
|
|
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
Under the supervision of the Company’s CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2010 based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have concluded that, at December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued their attestation report, which is included below, on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2010.
Management’s Annual Report on The Operating Partnership’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Operating Partnership is also required to establish and maintain internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Under the supervision of the Company’s CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2010 based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have concluded that, at December 31, 2010, the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. SEC rules do not require us to obtain an attestation report of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Highwoods Properties, Inc.
Raleigh, North Carolina
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Highwoods Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on the Company’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 of the Company and our report dated February 9, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedules.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Highwoods Properties, Inc.
Raleigh, North Carolina
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Highwoods Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Highwoods Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 9, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

HIGHWOODS PROPERTIES, INC.
(tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Highwoods Properties, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that operates in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States. The Company conducts virtually all of its activities through Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).
The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2010, the Company owned all of the Preferred Units and 71.3 million, or 95.0%, of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership. Limited partners, including one officer and two directors of the Company, own the remaining 3.8 million Common Units. In the event the Company issues shares of Common Stock, the proceeds of the issuance are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional Common Units. Generally, the Operating Partnership is required to redeem each Common Unit at the request of the holder thereof for cash equal to the value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value, based on the average of the market price for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the notice date of such redemption, provided that the Company at its option may elect to acquire any such Common Units presented for redemption for cash or one share of Common Stock. The Common Units owned by the Company are not redeemable. During 2010, the Company redeemed 97,134 Common Units for a like number of shares of Common Stock. The redemptions increased the percentage of Common Units owned by the Company from 94.8% at December 31, 2009 to 95.0% at December 31, 2010.
At December 31, 2010, the Company and/or the Operating Partnership wholly owned: 295 in-service office, industrial and retail properties, comprising 27.2 million square feet; 96 rental residential units; 26 for-sale residential condominiums; 611 acres of undeveloped land suitable for future development, of which 523 acres are considered core holdings; and an additional two office properties that are considered completed but not yet stabilized. In addition, we owned interests (50.0% or less) in 35 in-service office and industrial properties, one office property under development and 11 acres of undeveloped land suitable for future development, which includes a 12.5% interest in a 261,000 square foot office property directly owned by the Company and thus is included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, but not included in the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Basis of Presentation
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were revised from previously reported amounts to reflect in discontinued operations the operations for those properties sold or held for sale which required discontinued operations presentation. Prior period amounts related to additions to allowance for doubtful accounts and amortization of lease commissions in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Operating Partnership, wholly owned subsidiaries and those subsidiaries in which we own a majority voting interest with the ability to control operations of the subsidiaries and where no substantive participating rights or substantive kick out rights have been granted to the noncontrolling interests. We consolidate partnerships, joint ventures and limited liability companies when we control the major operating and financial policies of the entity through majority ownership or in our capacity as general partner or managing member. Five of the 50.0% or less owned in-service office properties are consolidated. In addition, we consolidate those entities deemed to be variable interest entities in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. At December 31, 2010, we had involvement with no entities that we deemed to be variable interest entities. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate and Related Assets
Real estate and related assets are recorded at cost and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renovations, replacements and other expenditures that improve or extend the life of assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 40 years for buildings and depreciable land infrastructure costs, 15 years for building improvements and five to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over initial fixed terms of the respective leases, which generally are from three to 10 years. Depreciation expense for real estate assets was $117.6 million, $115.6 million and $111.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Expenditures directly related to the development and construction of real estate assets are included in net real estate assets and are stated at depreciated cost. Development expenditures include pre-construction costs essential to the development of properties, development and construction costs, interest costs on qualifying assets, real estate taxes, development personnel salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. Interest and other carrying costs are capitalized until the building is ready for its intended use, but not later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and ready for its intended use upon the completion of tenant improvements. We cease capitalization on the portion that is substantially completed and occupied or held available for occupancy, and capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
Expenditures directly related to the leasing of properties are included in deferred financing and leasing costs and are stated at amortized cost. Such expenditures are part of the investment necessary to execute leases and, therefore, are classified as investment activities in the statement of cash flows. All leasing commissions paid to third parties for new leases or lease renewals are capitalized. Internal leasing costs include primarily compensation, benefits and other costs, such as legal fees related to leasing activities, which are incurred in connection with successfully securing leases of properties. Capitalized leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial fixed terms of the respective leases, which generally are from three to 10 years. Estimated costs related to unsuccessful activities are expensed as incurred.
We record liabilities for the performance of asset retirement activities when the obligation to perform such activities is unconditional, whether or not the timing or method of settlement of the obligation may be conditional on a future event.
Upon the acquisition of real estate assets, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible assets such as land, buildings and tenant improvements, intangible assets such as above and below market leases, acquired in-place leases, customer relationships and other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates as well as available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
The above and below market rate portions of leases acquired in connection with property acquisitions are recorded in deferred financing and leasing costs or in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities at their fair value. Fair value is calculated as the present value of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) our estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired and measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases and the accrued below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases and any below market option periods.
In-place leases acquired are recorded at their fair value in deferred financing and leasing costs and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the respective lease. The value of in-place leases is based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each customer’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, the customer’s credit quality and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider tenant improvements, leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses.
Real estate and other assets are classified as long-lived assets held for use and as long-lived assets held for sale. Real estate is classified as held for sale when the Company’s Board of Directors, or its investment committee has approved the sale of the asset, a legally enforceable contract has been executed and the buyer’s due diligence period has expired.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
With respect to assets classified as held for use, if events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant decline in occupancy, identification of materially adverse legal or environmental factors, change in our designation of an asset to non-core which impacts the anticipated holding period or market value less than cost) indicate that the carrying value may be impaired, an impairment analysis is performed. Such analysis is generally performed at the property level, except when an asset is part of an interdependent group (e.g. office park) and consists of determining whether the asset’s carrying amount will be recovered from its undiscounted estimated future operating and residual cash flows. These cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates, costs to operate each property and expected ownership periods. For properties under development, the cash flows are based on expected service potential of the asset (group) when development is substantially complete. If the carrying amount of a held for use asset exceeds the sum of its undiscounted future operating and residual cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between estimated fair value of the asset and the carrying amount. We generally estimate the fair value of assets held for use by using discounted cash flow analysis. In some instances, appraisal information may be available and is used in addition to the discounted cash flow analysis. As the factors used in generating these cash flows are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the discounted and/or undiscounted future operating and residual cash flows estimated by us in our impairment analyses or those established by appraisal may not be achieved and we may be required to recognize future impairment losses on our properties held for use.
We record assets held for sale (including for-sale residential condominiums) at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value. Fair value of assets held for sale is equal to the estimated or contracted sales price with a potential buyer, less costs to sell. The impairment loss, if any, is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value.

We analyze our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment. Such analysis consists of determining whether an expected loss in market value of an investment is other than temporary by evaluating the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and our intent and ability to retain our investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. As the factors used in this analysis are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, we may be required to recognize future impairment losses on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
Sales of Real Estate
For sales transactions meeting the requirements for full profit recognition, the related assets and liabilities are removed from the balance sheet and the resultant gain or loss is recorded in the period the transaction closes. For sales transactions with continuing involvement after the sale, if the continuing involvement with the property is limited by the terms of the sales contract, profit is recognized at the time of sale and is reduced by the maximum exposure to loss related to the nature of the continuing involvement. Sales to entities in which we have or receive an interest are accounted for using partial sale accounting.
For transactions that do not meet the criteria for a sale, we evaluate the nature of the continuing involvement, including put and call provisions, if present, and account for the transaction as a financing arrangement, profit-sharing arrangement, leasing arrangement or other alternate method of accounting, rather than as a sale, based on the nature and extent of the continuing involvement. Some transactions may have numerous forms of continuing involvement. In those cases, we determine which method is most appropriate based on the substance of the transaction.
If we have an obligation to repurchase the property at a higher price or at a future indeterminable value (such as fair market value), or we guarantee the return of the buyer’s investment or a return on that investment for an extended period, we account for such transaction as a financing arrangement. For transactions treated as financing arrangements, we record the amounts received from the buyer as a financing obligation and continue to keep the property and related accounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations of the property, net of expenses other than depreciation, are reflected as interest expense on the financing obligation. If the transaction includes an obligation or option to repurchase the asset at a higher price, additional interest is recorded to accrete the liability to the repurchase price. For options or obligations to repurchase the asset at fair market value at the end of each reporting period, the balance of the liability is adjusted to equal the then current fair value to the extent fair value exceeds the original financing obligation. The corresponding debit or credit is recorded to a related discount account and the revised discount is amortized over the expected term until termination of the option or obligation. If it is unlikely such option will be exercised, the transaction is accounted for under the deposit method or profit-sharing method. If we have an obligation or option to repurchase at a lower price, the transaction is accounted for as a leasing arrangement. At such time as a repurchase obligation expires, a sale is recorded and gain recognized.
If we retain an interest in the buyer and provide certain rent guarantees or other forms of support where the maximum exposure to loss exceeds the gain, we account for such transaction as a profit-sharing arrangement. For transactions treated as profit-sharing arrangements, we record a profit-sharing obligation for the amount of equity contributed by the other partner and continue to keep the property and related accounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations of the property, net of expenses other than depreciation, are allocated to the other partner for its percentage interest and reflected as “co-venture expense” in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In future periods, a sale is recorded and profit is recognized when the remaining maximum exposure to loss is reduced below the amount of gain deferred.

Rental and Other Revenues
Minimum contractual rents from leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. This means that, with respect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenue recognized for the period. Straight-line rental revenue is commenced when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straight-line rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. Contingent rental revenue, such as percentage rent, is accrued when the contingency is removed. Termination fee income is recognized as revenue at the later of when the customer has vacated the space or the lease has expired and the following conditions are met: a fully executed lease termination agreement has been delivered; the amount of the fee is determinable; and collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. Rental revenue reductions related to co-tenancy lease provisions, if any, are accrued when events have occurred that trigger such provisions.
Property operating cost recoveries from customers are determined on a calendar year and lease-by-lease basis. The most common types of cost reimbursements in our leases are common area maintenance (“CAM”) and real estate taxes, for which the customer pays its pro-rata share of operating and administrative expenses and real estate taxes in excess of a base year. The computation of property operating cost recovery income from customers is complex and involves numerous judgments, including the interpretation of terms and other customer lease provisions. Leases are not uniform in dealing with such cost reimbursements and there are many variations in the computation. Many customers make monthly fixed payments of CAM, real estate taxes and other cost reimbursement items. We accrue income related to these payments each month. We make quarterly accrual adjustments, positive or negative, to cost recovery income to adjust the recorded amounts to our best estimate of the final annual amounts to be billed and collected with respect to the cost reimbursements. After the end of the calendar year, we compute each customer’s final cost reimbursements and, after considering amounts paid by the customer during the year, issue a bill or credit for the appropriate amount to the customer. The differences between the amounts billed less previously received payments and the accrual adjustment are recorded as increases or decreases to cost recovery income when the final bills are prepared, which occurs during the first half of the subsequent year.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable, accrued straight-line rents receivable and mortgages and notes receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. We regularly evaluate the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of our customer, historical trends of the customer and changes in customer payment terms. Additionally, with respect to customers in bankruptcy, we estimate the probable recovery through bankruptcy claims and adjust the allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. If our assumptions regarding the collectability of receivables prove incorrect, we could experience losses in excess of our allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance and its related receivable are written-off when we have concluded there is a low probability of collection.
Discontinued Operations
Properties that are sold or classified as held for sale are classified as discontinued operations provided that (1) the operations and cash flows of the property will be eliminated from our ongoing operations and (2) we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after it is sold. Interest expense is included in discontinued operations if the related loan securing the sold property is to be paid off or assumed by the buyer in connection with the sale. If the property is sold to a joint venture in which we retain an interest, the property will not be accounted for as a discontinued operation due to our significant ongoing interest in the operations through our joint venture interest. If we are retained to provide property management, leasing and/or other services for the property owner after the sale, the property generally will be accounted for as a discontinued operation because the expected cash flows related to our management and leasing activities generally will not be significant in comparison to the cash flows from the property prior to sale.

Lease Incentives
Lease incentive costs, which are payments made to or on behalf of a customer as an incentive to sign the lease, are capitalized in deferred financing and leasing costs and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms as a reduction of rental revenues.
For-Sale Residential Condominiums
For-sale residential condominiums include completed, but unsold, condominium inventory. We initially record receipts of earnest money deposits in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in accordance with the deposit method. We then record completed sales when units close and the remaining net cash is received. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we received $5.3 million, $13.0 million and $28.6 million, respectively, in gross proceeds and recorded $5.0 million, $12.1 million and $23.0 million, respectively, of cost of assets sold from condominium sales.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
We account for our investments in less than majority owned joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies using the equity method of accounting when our interests represent a general partnership interest but substantive participating rights or substantive kick out rights have been granted to the limited partners or when our interests do not represent a general partnership interest and we do not control the major operating and financial policies of the entity. These investments are initially recorded at cost, as investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and are subsequently adjusted for our share of earnings and cash contributions and distributions. To the extent our cost basis at formation of the joint venture is different than the basis reflected at the joint venture level, the basis difference is amortized over the life of the related assets and included in our share of equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.
Additionally, our joint ventures will frequently borrow funds on their own behalf to finance the acquisition of, and/or leverage the return upon, the properties being acquired by the joint ventures or to build or acquire additional buildings. Such borrowings are typically on a non-recourse or limited recourse basis. We generally are not liable for the debts of our joint ventures, except to the extent of our equity investment. In most cases, we and/or our joint venture partners are required to agree to customary limited exceptions on non-recourse loans.
Cash Equivalents
We consider highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash deposits that are legally restricted or held by third parties on our behalf. It includes security deposits from sales contracts on for-sale residential condominiums, construction-related escrows, property disposition proceeds set aside and designated or intended to fund future tax-deferred exchanges of qualifying real estate investments, escrows and reserves for debt service, real estate taxes and property insurance established pursuant to certain mortgage financing arrangements, and deposits given to lenders to unencumber secured properties, if any.

Income Taxes
We have elected and expect to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A corporate REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate assets and, through the payment of dividends to stockholders, is generally permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of federal and state income taxes at the corporate level. To maintain qualification as a REIT, we are required to pay dividends to our stockholders equal to at least 90.0% of our annual REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains.
We conduct certain business activities through a taxable REIT subsidiary, as permitted under the Code. The taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income. We record provisions for income taxes based on its income recognized for financial statement purposes, including the effects of temporary differences between such income and the amount recognized for tax purposes.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. At December 31, 2010, the wholly owned properties, defined as in-service properties (excluding rental residential units) to which we have title and 100.0% ownership rights (“Wholly Owned Properties”), were leased to 1,614 customers in nine primary geographic locations. The geographic locations that comprise greater than 10.0% of our annualized cash rental revenue are Raleigh, NC, Tampa, FL, Atlanta, GA, Nashville, TN and Kansas City, MO. Our customers engage in a wide variety of businesses. No single customer of the Wholly Owned Properties generated more than 10.0% of our consolidated revenues during 2010.
We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and our restricted cash at financial or other intermediary institutions. The combined account balances at each institution may exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. Additionally, from time to time in connection with tax-deferred 1031 transactions, our restricted cash balances may be commingled with other funds being held by any such intermediary institution which subjects our balance to the credit risk of the institution.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility, construction facility and bank term loans bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of secured and unsecured long-term financings and the issuance of unsecured debt securities, typically bears interest at fixed rates although some loans bear interest at variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. The interest rate on all of our variable rate debt is generally adjusted at one or three month intervals, subject to settlements under these interest rate hedge contracts. We also enter into treasury lock and similar agreements from time to time in order to limit our exposure to an increase in interest rates with respect to future debt offerings.

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Our objective in using interest rate hedge contracts is to add stability to interest expense and manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To accomplish this objective, we sometimes use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. We do not hold these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes and generally do not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. Interest rate hedge contracts typically contain a provision whereby if we default on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our hedge contracts.
We are exposed to certain losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty under any outstanding hedge contracts. We expect the counterparty, which generally is a major financial institution, to perform fully under any such contracts. However, if any counterparty were to default on its obligation under an interest rate hedge contract, we could be required to pay the full rates on our debt, even if such rates were in excess of the rate in the contract.
We account for terminated derivative instruments by recognizing the related accumulated comprehensive income/loss balance in current earnings, unless the hedged forecasted transaction continues as originally planned, in which case we continue to amortize the accumulated comprehensive income/loss into earnings over the originally designated hedge period.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted Common Shares outstanding - basic. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders plus noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership by the weighted Common Shares outstanding – basic plus the dilutive effect of options, warrants and convertible securities outstanding, including Common Units, using the treasury stock method. Weighted Common Shares outstanding – basic includes all unvested restricted stock since dividends received on such restricted stock are non-forfeitable.
2. Real Estate Assets
Acquisitions
In the third quarter of 2010, we acquired a 336,000 square foot office property in Memphis, TN for $10.0 million in cash and the assumption of $42.6 million of 6.43% effective rate secured debt, which was recorded at fair value of $40.3 million and incurred $0.4 million of acquisition-related costs. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we acquired a 117,000 square foot office property and 32.6 acres of development land in Tampa, FL for $12.0 million in cash and incurred $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs. At the time of acquisition, the office building was vacant. Also, we acquired our partner’s interest in a joint venture that owned for-sale residential condominiums for $0.5 million in cash.
In 2009, we acquired a 220,000 square foot office building in Tampa, FL for $22.3 million in cash and incurred $0.1 million of acquisition-related costs.
In 2008, we acquired a 135,000 square foot office building in Memphis, TN in exchange for 183,587 Common Units and the assumption of $7.8 million of 8.15% effective rate secured debt, which were recorded at fair value of $6.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

2. Real Estate Assets - Continued
Dispositions
During the second quarter of 2010, we sold seven office properties in Winston Salem, NC for gross proceeds of $12.9 million. In connection with this disposition, we received cash of $4.5 million and provided seller financing of $8.4 million (recorded at fair value of $8.4 million in mortgages and notes receivable) and committed to lend up to an additional $1.7 million for tenant improvements and lease commissions, of which $0.2 million was funded as of December 31, 2010. The three-year, interest-only first mortgage carries a 6.0% average interest rate. Assuming no default exists, the note can be extended by the buyer for two additional one-year periods, subject to an increase in the interest rate to 7.0% in the fourth year and to 8.0% in the fifth year. We have accounted for this disposition using the installment method, whereby the $0.4 million gain on disposition of property has been deferred and will be recognized when the seller financing is repaid.
During the second quarter of 2010, we also sold six industrial properties in Greensboro, NC for gross proceeds of $12.0 million. In connection with this disposition, we received cash of $3.4 million and provided seller financing of $8.6 million (recorded at fair value of $8.6 million in mortgages and notes receivable) and a limited rent guarantee with maximum exposure to loss of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2010. The three-year, interest-only first mortgage carries a 6.25% average interest rate. Assuming no default exists, the note can be extended by the buyer for two additional one-year periods, subject to an increase in the interest rate to 7.0% in the fourth year and to 7.75% in the fifth year. We currently have concluded that a loss from the rent guarantee is not probable. We have accounted for this disposition using the installment method, whereby the $0.3 million impairment was recognized in net gains/(losses) on disposition of discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2010.
During the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a completed sale in connection with the disposition of an office property in Raleigh, NC in the fourth quarter of 2009 where the buyer’s limited right to compel us to repurchase the property expired. Accordingly, we recognized the $0.2 million gain on disposition of property in the first quarter of 2010.
In 2009, we sold 517,000 square feet of non-core retail and office properties for gross proceeds of $78.2 million and recorded gains of $21.7 million.
In 2008, we sold 744,000 square feet of office and industrial properties for gross proceeds of approximately $56.8 million and recorded net gains of $17.9 million. We also sold 38 acres of non-core land for gross sale proceeds of $9.2 million and recorded a net gain of $0.3 million.
Impairments
We recorded impairment of assets held for use of $2.6 million and $3.4 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, on four office properties located in Winston-Salem, NC. Additionally, we recorded impairment of $11.0 million and $29.4 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, on certain office, industrial and retail properties in Winston-Salem and Greensboro, NC that were sold in 2010 and required discontinued operations presentation. Impairments can arise from a number of factors; accordingly, there can be no assurances that we will not be required to record additional impairment charges in the future (see Note 1).
Development
As of December 31, 2010, we had one office property aggregating 60,000 square feet which was reflected as development in process due to ongoing redevelopment activities. The project is 100.0% leased.

Our mortgages and notes receivable consists primarily of seller financing issued in conjunction with two disposition transactions in 2010 (see Note 2). This seller financing is evidenced by first mortgages secured by the assignment of rents and the underlying real estate assets. We conclude on the credit quality of the receivables by monitoring the leasing statistics and market fundamentals of these assets. As of December 31, 2010, the interest payments on both mortgages receivable were current and there were no indications of impairment on the receivables. We may be required to take impairment charges in the future if and to the extent the underlying collateral diminishes in value.

During the third quarter of 2006, three of our Des Moines joint ventures made cash distributions aggregating $17.0 million in connection with a debt refinancing. We received 50.0% of such distributions. As a result of these distributions, our investment account in these joint ventures became negative. We recorded the distributions as a reduction of our investment account and included the resulting negative investment balances of $12.4 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities at December 31, 2009. Our interests in these joint ventures were sold in the second quarter of 2010.

This amount represents the aggregate difference between our historical cost basis and the basis reflected at the joint venture level, which is typically depreciated over the life of the related asset.

The following summarizes additional information related to certain of our unconsolidated affiliates:
- Highwoods DLF 97/26 DLF 99/32, L.P. (“DLF II”)
In 2009, DLF II sold one property for gross proceeds of $7.1 million and recorded an impairment charge of $0.5 million. We recorded $0.2 million as our proportionate share of this impairment charge through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in 2009.
- Kessinger/Hunter, LLC
Kessinger/Hunter, LLC, which is managed by our joint venture partner, previously provided property management, leasing, brokerage and certain construction related services to certain of our Wholly Owned Properties in Kansas City, MO. These services were reduced by us to only leasing-related services in 2009. Kessinger/Hunter, LLC received $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $2.6 million from us for these services in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
- Highwoods-DLF Forum, LLC (“DLF Forum”)
In 2008, we contributed $12.3 million to this joint venture for a 25% ownership interest. The joint venture acquired a 635,000 square foot office park in Raleigh, NC, for approximately $113 million and obtained a $67.5 million loan secured by the property.
- Highwoods DLF 98/29, LLC (“DLF I”)
At the formation of this joint venture in 1999, our partner contributed excess cash to the venture that was distributed to us under the joint venture agreements. We are required to repay this excess cash to our partner over time, as discussed in Note 9.
In 2009, DLF I sold a property for gross proceeds of $14.8 million and recorded a gain of $3.4 million. We recorded $0.8 million as our proportionate share of this gain through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in 2009.
- HIW Development B, LLC
In 2009, we contributed $0.3 million to this joint venture for a 10% ownership interest. Simultaneous with the formation, this joint venture acquired land for $3.4 million to be used for development in Charlotte, NC. In 2010, we contributed an additional $1.0 million to this joint venture for the purpose of constructing a build-to-suit office property expected to cost $46.5 million when completed in 2011. We receive customary development fees for this construction.

- Des Moines, IA Joint Ventures
During the second quarter of 2010, we sold our equity interests in a series of unconsolidated joint ventures relating to properties in Des Moines, IA. The assets in the joint ventures included 1.7 million square feet of office, 788,000 square feet of industrial and 45,000 square feet of retail properties, as well as 418 apartment units. In connection with the closing, we received $15.0 million in cash. We had a negative book basis in certain of the joint ventures, primarily as a result of prior cash distributions to the partners. Accordingly, we recorded gain on disposition of investment in unconsolidated affiliates of $25.3 million in the second quarter of 2010. As of the closing date, the joint ventures had approximately $170 million of secured debt, which was non-recourse to us except (1) in the case of customary exceptions pertaining to matters such as misuse of funds, borrower bankruptcy, unpermitted transfers, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations and (2) approximately $9.0 million of direct and indirect guarantees. We have been released by the applicable lenders from all such direct and indirect guarantees and we have no ongoing lender liability relating to such customary exceptions to non-recourse liability with respect to most, but not all, of the debt. The buyer has agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all future losses that we suffer as a result of our prior investment in the joint ventures (other than losses directly resulting from our acts or omissions). In the event we are exposed to any such future loss, our financial condition and operating results would not be adversely affected unless the buyer defaults on its indemnification obligation.
- Other Activities
We receive development, management and leasing fees for services provided to certain of our joint ventures. These fees are recognized as income to the extent of our respective joint venture partner’s interest in rental and other revenues. In the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $2.7 million, $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of development, management and leasing fees from our unconsolidated joint ventures.
Consolidated Affiliates
The following summarizes our consolidated affiliates:
- Highwoods-Markel Associates, LLC (“Markel”)
We have a 50.0% ownership interest in Markel. We are the manager and leasing agent for Markel’s properties located in Richmond, VA and receive customary management and leasing fees. We consolidate Markel since we are the general partner and control the major operating and financial policies of the joint venture. The organizational documents of Markel require the entity to be liquidated through the sale of its assets upon reaching December 31, 2100. As controlling partner, we have an obligation to cause this property-owning entity to distribute proceeds of liquidation to the noncontrolling interest partner in these partially owned properties only if the net proceeds received by the entity from the sale of our assets warrant a distribution as determined by the agreement. We estimate the value of noncontrolling interest distributions would have been approximately $13.9 million had the entity been liquidated at December 31, 2010. This estimated settlement value is based on the fair value of the underlying properties which is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates and costs to operate each property. If the entity’s underlying assets are worth less than the underlying liabilities on the date of such liquidation, we would have no obligation to remit any consideration to the noncontrolling interest holder.
- SF-HIW Harborview Plaza, LP (“Harborview”)
We have a 20.0% interest in Harborview. We are the manager and leasing agent for Harborview’s property located in Tampa, FL and receive customary management and leasing fees. As further described in Note 8, we account for this joint venture as a financing obligation since our partner has the right to put its interest back to us in the future.

- Plaza Residential, LLC (“Plaza Residential”)
In 2007, through our taxable REIT subsidiary, we contributed $10.6 million for a majority owned interest in Plaza Residential, which was formed to develop and sell 139 for-sale residential condominiums constructed above an office property developed by us in Raleigh, NC. Our partner had a 7.0% ownership interest in the joint venture, performed development services for the joint venture for a market development fee and guaranteed 40.0% of the construction financing. As of December 31, 2009, we consolidated this joint venture since we own the majority interest. On December 30, 2010, we acquired our partner’s interest for $0.5 million.

This amount does not reflect a one-year extension option available to us, except in the event of default, related to amounts outstanding under our $70.0 million secured construction facility.
|
Our $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature on February 21, 2013 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $50.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming we continue to have three publicly announced ratings from the credit rating agencies, the interest rate and facility fee under our revolving credit facility are based on the lower of the two highest publicly announced ratings. Based on our current credit ratings, the interest rate is LIBOR plus 290 basis points and the annual facility fee is 60 basis points. We expect to use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and for the short-term funding of our development and acquisition activity and, in certain instances, the repayment of other debt. Continuing ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility allows us to quickly capitalize on strategic opportunities at short-term interest rates. There was $30.0 million and $20.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011, respectively. At both December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011, we had $0.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011 was $369.5 million and $379.5 million, respectively.
Our $70.0 million secured construction facility, of which $52.1 million was outstanding at December 31, 2010, is scheduled to mature on December 20, 2011. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have the option to extend the maturity date for an additional one-year period. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 85 basis points. This facility had $17.9 million of availability at December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011.
In 2010, we repaid $10.0 million of our $20.0 million, three-year unsecured term loan. Additionally, we repaid the $5.8 million remaining balance then outstanding on the mortgage payable secured by our 96 rental residential units to unencumber these assets for a planned development project. We incurred a penalty of $0.6 million related to this early repayment, which is included in loss on debt extinguishment in 2010.
In 2009, we paid off at maturity $50.0 million of 8.125% unsecured notes and retired the remaining $107.2 million principal amount of a two-tranched secured loan. We also obtained a $20.0 million, three-year unsecured term loan bearing interest of 3.90%, a $115.0 million, six and a half-year secured loan bearing interest of 6.88% and a $47.3 million, seven-year secured loan bearing interest of 7.50%. We also repurchased $8.2 million principal amount of unsecured notes due 2017 and obtained a new $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility which replaced the then existing credit facility, as discussed previously.

6. Mortgages and Notes Payable - Continued
In 2008, we obtained a $137.5 million, three-year unsecured term loan bearing interest of LIBOR plus 110 basis points. We used a portion of the proceeds to pay off at maturity $100.0 million of 7.125% unsecured notes.
We are currently in compliance with the debt covenants and other requirements with respect to our outstanding debt.
Our revolving credit facility, bank term loan due in February 2011 ($137.5 million outstanding as of December 31, 2010) and bank term loan due in March 2012 ($10.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2010) require us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial requirements. If we were to fail to make a payment when due with respect to any of our other obligations with aggregate unpaid principal of $10.0 million, and such failure remains uncured for more than 120 days, the lenders under our credit facility could provide notice of their intent to accelerate all amounts due thereunder. Upon an event of default on the revolving credit facility, the lenders having at least 66.7% of the total commitments under the revolving credit facility can accelerate all borrowings then outstanding, and we could be prohibited from borrowing any further amounts under our revolving credit facility, which would adversely affect our ability to fund our operations.
The Operating Partnership has $391.0 million carrying amount of 2017 bonds outstanding and $200.0 million carrying amount of 2018 bonds outstanding. The indenture that governs these outstanding notes requires us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial ratios. The trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of either series of bonds can accelerate the principal amount of such series upon written notice of a default that remains uncured after 60 days.
We may not be able to repay, refinance or extend any or all of our debt at maturity or upon any acceleration. If any refinancing is done at higher interest rates, the increased interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to pay distributions. Any such refinancing could also impose tighter financial ratios and other covenants that restrict our ability to take actions that could otherwise be in our best interest, such as funding new development activity, making opportunistic acquisitions, repurchasing our securities or paying distributions.
Other Information
Total interest capitalized to development projects was $1.4 million, $4.6 million and $8.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Harborview
Our joint venture partner in Harborview has the right to put its 80.0% equity interest in the joint venture to us in exchange for cash at any time during the one-year period commencing September 11, 2014. The value of the 80.0% equity interest will be determined at the time that our partner elects to exercise its put right, if ever, based upon the then fair market value of Harborview LP’s assets and liabilities, less 3.0%, which amount was intended to cover the normal costs of a sale transaction. Because of the put option, this transaction is accounted for as a financing transaction. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations related to Harborview Plaza, the property owned by Harborview LP remain in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
As a result, we established a financing obligation equal to the $12.7 million net equity contributed by the other partner. At the end of each reporting period, the balance of the gross financing obligation is adjusted to equal the greater of the original financing obligation of $12.7 million or the current fair value of the put option discussed above. This financing obligation, net of payments made to our joint venture partner, is adjusted by a related valuation allowance account, which is being amortized prospectively through September 2014 as interest expense on financing obligation. The fair value of the put option was $10.2 million and $12.2 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Additionally, the net income from the operations before depreciation of Harborview Plaza allocable to the 80.0% partner is recorded as interest expense on financing obligation. We continue to depreciate the property and record all of the depreciation on our books.

8. Financing Arrangements - Continued
Tax Increment Financing Bond
In connection with tax increment financing for construction of a public garage related to a wholly owned office building, we are obligated to pay fixed special assessments over a 20-year period ending in 2019. The net present value of these assessments, discounted at 6.93% at the inception of the obligation, which represents the interest rate on the underlying bond financing, is recorded as a financing obligation. We receive special tax revenues and property tax rebates recorded in interest and other income, which are intended, but not guaranteed, to provide funds to pay the special assessments. We acquired the underlying bond in a privately negotiated transaction in 2007 (see Note 11).
Repurchase Obligation
In connection with a disposition in 2009 of a building located in Raleigh, NC, the buyer had a limited right to put the building to us in exchange for the sales price plus certain costs if we had been unable to satisfy a certain post-closing requirement by March 1, 2010. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations of the building remained in our Consolidated Financial Statements during this contingency period. We satisfied this post-closing requirement in the first quarter of 2010 and accordingly, met the requirements to record a completed sale in the first quarter of 2010.
Capitalized Ground Lease Obligation
The capitalized ground lease obligation represents an obligation to the lessor of land on which we constructed a building. We are obligated to make fixed payments to the lessor through October 2022 and the lease provides for fixed price purchase options in the ninth and tenth years of the lease. We intend to exercise the purchase option in order to prevent an economic penalty related to conveying the building to the lessor at the expiration of the lease. The net present value of the fixed rental payments and purchase option through the ninth year was calculated at the inception of the lease using a discount rate of 7.1%. The assets and liabilities under the capital lease are recorded at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments or the fair value. The liability accretes into interest expense each month for the difference between the interest rate on the financing obligation and the fixed payments. The accretion will continue until the liability equals the purchase option of the land in the ninth year of the lease.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Ground Leases
Certain Wholly Owned Properties are subject to operating ground leases. Rental payments on these leases are adjusted periodically based on either the consumer price index or on a pre-determined schedule. Total rental property expense recorded for operating ground leases was $1.5 million, $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Completion Contracts
We have approximately $8.6 million of completion contracts at December 31, 2010. Completion contracts relate to payments to be made under current contracts for various development/construction projects, which we expect to pay in 2011.
Environmental Matters
Substantially all of our in-service and development properties have been subjected to Phase I environmental assessments and, in certain instances, Phase II environmental assessments. Such assessments and/or updates have not revealed, nor are we aware of, any environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
DLF I Obligation
At the formation of DLF I, the amount our partner contributed in cash to the venture and subsequently distributed to us was determined to be $7.2 million in excess of the amount required based on its ownership interest and the agreed-upon value of the real estate assets. We are required to repay this amount over 14 years, beginning in the first quarter of 1999. The $7.2 million was discounted to net present value of $3.8 million using a discount rate of 9.62% specified in the agreement. Payments of $0.6 million were made in each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The balance at December 31, 2010 and 2009 is $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Litigation, Claims and Assessments
We are from time to time a party to a variety of legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of our business. We regularly assess the liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based on the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that we have incurred or will incur a loss and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is accrued and charged to income in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In other instances, because of the uncertainties related to both the probable outcome and amount or range of loss, a reasonable estimate of liability, if any, cannot be made. Based on the current expected outcome of such matters, none of these proceedings, claims or assessments is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

10. Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership
Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the ownership of Common Units by various individuals and entities other than the Company. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is computed by applying the weighted average percentage of Common Units not owned by the Company during the period, as a percent of the total number of outstanding Common Units, to the Operating Partnership’s net income for the period after deducting distributions on Preferred Units. When a noncontrolling unitholder redeems a Common Unit for a share of Common Stock or cash, the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership are reduced and the Company’s share in the Operating Partnership is increased by the fair value of each security at the time of redemption.
The following table sets forth noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership:

11. Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following summarizes the three levels of inputs that we use to measure fair value, as well as the assets, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and liabilities that we recognize at fair value using those levels of inputs.
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Our Level 1 assets are investments in marketable securities which we use to pay benefits under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Our Level 1 noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the ownership of Common Units by various individuals and entities other than the Company. Our Level 1 liability is our non-qualified deferred compensation obligation.
Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
We had no Level 2 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our Level 3 assets are our tax increment financing bond, which is not routinely traded but whose fair value is determined using the income approach to estimate the projected redemption value based on quoted bid/ask prices for similar unrated municipal bonds, and real estate assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of our quarterly impairment analysis, which were valued using independent appraisals, substantiated by internal cash flow analyses.
The following tables set forth the assets, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and liability that we measure at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. We determine the level based on the lowest level of substantive input used to determine fair value.

In 2007, we acquired a tax increment financing bond associated with a property developed by us. This bond amortizes to maturity in 2020. The estimated fair value at December 31, 2010 was $2.5 million below the outstanding principal due on the bond. If the yield-to-maturity used to fair value this bond was 100 basis points higher or lower, the fair value of the bond would have been $0.7 million lower or higher, respectively, as of December 31, 2010. Currently, we intend to hold this bond and have concluded that we will not be required to sell this bond before recovery of the bond principal. Payment of the principal and interest for the bond is guaranteed by us and, therefore, we have recorded no credit losses related to the bond in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. There is no legal right of offset with the liability, which we report as a financing obligation, related to this tax increment financing bond.

The fair values of our mortgages and notes receivable, mortgages and notes payable and financing obligations were estimated using the income or market approaches to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants on the respective measurement dates.
12. Equity
Common Stock Offerings
In 2009, the Company sold 7.0 million shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $144.1 million. We used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to retire the remaining $107.2 million principal amount of a two-tranched secured loan. The remaining net proceeds from the offering were used to reduce the amount of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
In 2008, the Company sold 5.5 million shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $195.0 million. We used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repurchase 53,845 outstanding 8.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $52.5 million. The remaining net proceeds from the offering were used to reduce the amount of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
Common Stock Dividends

Officer, Management and Director Compensation Programs
Our officers participate in an annual non-equity incentive program whereby they are eligible for incentive cash payments based on a percentage of their annual base salary. In addition to considering the pay practices of our peer group in determining each officer’s incentive payment percentage, the officer’s ability to influence our performance is also considered. Each officer has a target annual non-equity incentive payment percentage that ranges from 25% to 130% of base salary depending on the officer’s position. The officer’s actual incentive payment for the year is the product of the target annual incentive payment percentage times a “performance factor,” which can range from zero to 200%. This performance factor depends upon the relationship between how various performance criteria compare with predetermined goals. For an officer who has division responsibilities, goals for certain performance criteria are based partly on the division’s actual performance relative to that division’s established goals and partly on actual total performance. Incentive payments are accrued and expensed in the year earned and are generally paid in the first quarter of the following year.
Certain other members of management participate in an annual non-equity incentive program whereby a target annual cash incentive payment is established based upon the job responsibilities of their position. Incentive payment eligibility ranges from 10% to 30% of annual base salary. The actual incentive payment is determined by our overall performance and the individual’s performance during each year. These incentive payments are also accrued and expensed in the year earned and are generally paid in the first quarter of the following year.

Our officers generally receive annual grants of stock options and restricted stock on or about March 1 of each year. Restricted stock grants are also made annually to directors and certain non-officer employees. At December 31, 2010, there was remaining availability of 2.6 million shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the 2009 Long Term Equity Incentive Plan, of which no more than 0.8 million can be in the form of restricted stock. At December 31, 2010, we had 128.3 million remaining shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued under our charter.
Additional total return-based restricted stock may be issued at the end of the three-year periods if actual performance exceeds certain levels of performance. Such additional shares, if any, would be fully vested when issued. No expense is recorded for additional shares of total return-based restricted stock that may be issued at the end of the three-year period since that possibility is already reflected in the grant date fair value.
Dividends received on restricted stock are non-forfeitable and are paid at the same rate and on the same date as on shares of Common Stock. Dividends paid on subsequently forfeited shares are expensed.
During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $6.6 million, $6.6 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense. Because we generally do not pay income taxes we do not realize tax benefits on share-based payments. At December 31, 2010, there was $6.2 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation costs, which will be recognized over vesting periods that have a weighted average remaining term of 2.1 years.

- Stock Options
Stock options issued prior to 2005 vest ratably over four years and remain outstanding for 10 years. Stock options issued beginning in 2005 vest ratably over a four-year period and remain outstanding for seven years. The value of all options as of the date of grant is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is amortized over the respective vesting or service period. The fair values of options granted during 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $4.96, $1.82 and $3.18, respectively, per option. The fair values of the options granted were determined at the grant dates using the following assumptions:

We generally do not permit the net cash settlement of exercised stock options, but do permit net share settlement so long as the shares received are held for at least one year. We have a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.
- Time-Based Restricted Stock
Shares of time-based restricted stock issued to officers and employees generally vest 25% on the first, second, third and fourth anniversary dates, respectively. Shares of time-based restricted stock issued to directors generally vest 25% on January 1 of each successive year after the grant date.

- Total Return-Based and Performance-Based Restricted Stock
During 2010, 2009 and 2008, we issued shares of total return-based restricted stock to officers that will vest from zero to 250% based on (1) our absolute total returns for the three-year periods ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, relative to defined target returns and (2) whether our total return exceeds the average total returns of a selected group of peer companies. The grant date fair value of such shares of total return-based restricted stock was determined to be 101%, 53.6% and 100%, respectively, of the market value of a share of Common Stock as of the grant date and is amortized over the respective three-year period.
During 2008, we also issued shares of performance-based restricted stock to officers that will vest pursuant to certain performance-based criteria. The performance-based criteria are based on whether or not we meet or exceed at the end of three-year performance periods certain operating and financial goals established under our Strategic Plan. To the extent actual performance equals or exceeds threshold performance goals, the portion of shares of performance-based restricted stock that vest can range from 50% to 100%. If actual performance does not meet such threshold goals, none of the performance-based restricted stock will vest. The fair value of performance-based restricted share grants is based on the market value of Common Stock as of the date of grant and the estimated performance to be achieved at the end of the three-year period. Such fair value is being amortized to expense during the period from grant date to the vesting dates, adjusting for the expected level of vesting that will occur at those dates.

13. Employee Benefit Plans - Continued
Retirement Plan
We have adopted a retirement plan applicable to all employees, including officers, who, at the time of retirement, have at least 30 years of continuous qualified service or are at least 55 years old and have at least 10 years of continuous qualified service. Subject to advance retirement notice and execution of a non-compete agreement with us, eligible retirees are entitled to receive a pro rata amount of the annual incentive payment earned during the year of retirement. Stock options and restricted stock granted by us to such eligible retiree during his or her employment would be non-forfeitable and vest according to the terms of their original grants. The benefits of this retirement plan apply only to restricted stock and stock option grants and have been phased in 25% on March 1, 2006 and 25% on each anniversary thereof. For employees who meet the age and service eligibility requirements, 75% of their 2008 grants and 100% of their grants thereafter were deemed fully vested at the grant date, which increased compensation expense by approximately $1.1 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Deferred Compensation
We have a non-qualified deferred compensation plan pursuant to which each officer and director could elect to defer a portion of their base salary and/or annual non-equity incentive payment (or director fees) which are invested by us in various mutual funds. We indefinitely suspended this option to defer compensation earned after January 1, 2010. These investments are recorded at fair value which aggregated $3.5 million and $6.1 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, with an offsetting deferred compensation liability recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. Such deferred compensation is expensed in the period earned by the officers and directors. Deferred amounts ultimately payable to the officers and directors are based on the value of the related mutual fund investments. Accordingly, changes in the value of the marketable mutual fund investments are recorded in interest and other income and the corresponding offsetting changes in the deferred compensation liability are recorded in general and administration expense. As a result, there is no effect on our net income subsequent to the time the compensation is deferred and fully funded.

401(k) Savings Plan
We have a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all employees who meet certain age and employment criteria. We contribute amounts for each participant at a rate of 75% of the employee’s contribution (up to 6% of each employee’s bi-weekly salary and cash incentives subject to statutory limits). During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we contributed $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, to the 401(k) savings plan. The assets of this qualified plan are not included in our Consolidated Financial Statements since the assets are not owned by us. Administrative expenses of the plan are paid by us.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan pursuant to which employees generally may contribute up to 25.0% of their base and annual non-equity incentive compensation for the purchase of Common Stock. At the end of each three-month offering period, the contributions in each participant's account balance, which includes accrued dividends, is applied to acquire shares of Common Stock at a cost that was calculated during 2010, 2009 and 2008 at 85.0% of the lower of the average closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the five consecutive days preceding the first day of the quarter or the five days preceding the last day of the quarter. In the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company issued 27,378, 37,287 and 29,324 shares, respectively, of Common Stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The discount on newly issued shares is expensed by us as additional compensation and aggregated $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

17. Earnings Per Share - Continued
|
(1)
|
Options and warrants aggregating approximately 0.7 million, 1.0 million and 1.4 million shares were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the impact of including such shares would be anti-dilutive to the earnings per share calculation.
|
|
(2)
|
Includes all unvested restricted stock since dividends on such restricted stock are non-forfeitable.
|
18. Income Taxes
Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, which is subject to corporate, state and local income taxes. As a REIT, we may also be subject to certain federal excise taxes if we engage in certain types of transactions.
The minimum dividend per share of Common Stock required for us to maintain our REIT status was $0.32, $0.89 and $0.76 per share in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Continued qualification as a REIT depends on our ability to satisfy the dividend distribution tests, stock ownership requirements and various other qualification tests prescribed in the Code. The tax basis of our assets (net of accumulated tax depreciation and amortization) and liabilities was approximately $2.4 billion and $1.6 billion at both December 31, 2010 and 2009.
No provision has been made for federal income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 because the Company qualified as a REIT, distributed the necessary amount of taxable income and, therefore, incurred no federal income tax expense during the periods. We recorded state income tax expense in rental property and other expenses of $0.08 million, $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The taxable REIT subsidiary has operated at a cumulative taxable loss through December 31, 2010 of approximately $7.2 million. In addition to the $2.8 million deferred tax asset for these cumulative tax loss carryforwards, the taxable REIT subsidiary also had net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $2.0 million comprised primarily of tax versus book basis differences in certain investments and depreciable assets held by the taxable REIT subsidiary. Because the future tax benefit of the cumulative losses is not assured, the approximate $0.8 million net deferred tax asset position of the taxable REIT subsidiary has been fully reserved as management does not believe that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized. The tax benefit of the cumulative losses could be recognized for financial reporting purposes in future periods to the extent the taxable REIT subsidiary generates sufficient taxable income.
We are subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for 2007 through 2010.

19. Segment Information
Our principal business is the operation, acquisition and development of rental real estate properties. We evaluate our business by product type and by geographic location. Each product type has different customers and economic characteristics as to rental rates and terms, cost per square foot of buildings, the purposes for which customers use the space, the degree of maintenance and customer support required and customer dependency on different economic drivers, among others. The operating results by geographic grouping are also regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker for assessing performance and other purposes. There are no material inter-segment transactions.
Our accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used in our Consolidated Financial Statements. All operations are within the United States and, at December 31, 2010, no single customer of the Wholly Owned Properties generated more than 10% of our consolidated revenues on an annualized basis.
The following table summarizes the rental and other revenues and net operating income, the primary industry property-level performance metric which is defined as rental and other revenues less rental property and other expenses, for each reportable segment:

21. Subsequent Events
On February 2, 2011, we obtained a $200.0 million, five-year unsecured bank term loan bearing interest of LIBOR plus 220 basis points. The funding of this loan will occur on February 25, 2011 and the proceeds will be used on such date to pay off at maturity a $137.5 million unsecured bank term loan, amounts then outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
On January 26, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.425 per share of Common Stock payable on March 8, 2011 to stockholders of record on February 14, 2011, a cash dividend of $21.5625 per share of 8.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares payable on February 28, 2011 to stockholders of record on February 15, 2011 and a cash dividend of $0.50 per share of 8.000% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares payable on March 15, 2011 to stockholders of record on March 1, 2011.

To the Board of Directors of the General Partner of
Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership
Raleigh, North Carolina
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership and subsidiaries (the "Operating Partnership") as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Operating Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Operating Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Highwoods Properties, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that operates in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States. The Company conducts virtually all of its activities through Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).
The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2010, the Company owned all of the Preferred Units and 71.3 million, or 95.0%, of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership. Limited partners, including one officer and two directors of the Company, own the remaining 3.8 million Common Units. In the event the Company issues shares of Common Stock, the proceeds of the issuance are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional Common Units. Generally, the Operating Partnership is required to redeem each Common Unit at the request of the holder thereof for cash equal to the value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value, based on the average of the market price for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the notice date of such redemption, provided that the Company at its option may elect to acquire any such Common Units presented for redemption for cash or one share of Common Stock. The Common Units owned by the Company are not redeemable. During 2010, the Company redeemed 97,134 Common Units for a like number of shares of Common Stock. The redemptions increased the percentage of Common Units owned by the Company from 94.8% at December 31, 2009 to 95.0% at December 31, 2010.
At December 31, 2010, the Company and/or the Operating Partnership wholly owned: 295 in-service office, industrial and retail properties, comprising 27.2 million square feet; 96 rental residential units; 26 for-sale residential condominiums; 611 acres of undeveloped land suitable for future development, of which 523 acres are considered core holdings; and an additional two office properties that are considered completed but not yet stabilized. In addition, we owned interests (50.0% or less) in 35 in-service office and industrial properties, one office property under development and 11 acres of undeveloped land suitable for future development, which includes a 12.5% interest in a 261,000 square foot office property directly owned by the Company and thus is included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, but not included in the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Basis of Presentation
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were revised from previously reported amounts to reflect in discontinued operations the operations for those properties sold or held for sale which required discontinued operations presentation. Prior period amounts related to additions to allowance for doubtful accounts and amortization of lease commissions in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the wholly owned subsidiaries and those subsidiaries in which we own a majority voting interest with the ability to control operations of the subsidiaries and where no substantive participating rights or substantive kick out rights have been granted to the noncontrolling interests. We consolidate partnerships, joint ventures and limited liability companies when we control the major operating and financial policies of the entity through majority ownership or in our capacity as general partner or managing member. Five of the 50.0% or less owned in-service office properties are consolidated. In addition, we consolidate those entities deemed to be variable interest entities in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. At December 31, 2010, we had involvement with no entities that we deemed to be variable interest entities. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate and Related Assets
Real estate and related assets are recorded at cost and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renovations, replacements and other expenditures that improve or extend the life of assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 40 years for buildings and depreciable land infrastructure costs, 15 years for building improvements and five to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over initial fixed terms of the respective leases, which generally are from three to 10 years. Depreciation expense for real estate assets was $117.6 million, $115.6 million and $111.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Expenditures directly related to the development and construction of real estate assets are included in net real estate assets and are stated at depreciated cost. Development expenditures include pre-construction costs essential to the development of properties, development and construction costs, interest costs on qualifying assets, real estate taxes, development personnel salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. Interest and other carrying costs are capitalized until the building is ready for its intended use, but not later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and ready for its intended use upon the completion of tenant improvements. We cease capitalization on the portion that is substantially completed and occupied or held available for occupancy, and capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
Expenditures directly related to the leasing of properties are included in deferred financing and leasing costs and are stated at amortized cost. Such expenditures are part of the investment necessary to execute leases and, therefore, are classified as investment activities in the statement of cash flows. All leasing commissions paid to third parties for new leases or lease renewals are capitalized. Internal leasing costs include primarily compensation, benefits and other costs, such as legal fees related to leasing activities, which are incurred in connection with successfully securing leases of properties. Capitalized leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial fixed terms of the respective leases, which generally are from three to 10 years. Estimated costs related to unsuccessful activities are expensed as incurred.
We record liabilities for the performance of asset retirement activities when the obligation to perform such activities is unconditional, whether or not the timing or method of settlement of the obligation may be conditional on a future event.
Upon the acquisition of real estate assets, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible assets such as land, buildings and tenant improvements, intangible assets such as above and below market leases, acquired in-place leases, customer relationships and other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates as well as available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per unit data)
1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
The above and below market rate portions of leases acquired in connection with property acquisitions are recorded in deferred financing and leasing costs or in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities at their fair value. Fair value is calculated as the present value of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) our estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired and measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases and the accrued below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases and any below market option periods.
In-place leases acquired are recorded at their fair value in deferred financing and leasing costs and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the respective lease. The value of in-place leases is based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each customer’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, the customer’s credit quality and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider tenant improvements, leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses.
Real estate and other assets are classified as long-lived assets held for use and as long-lived assets held for sale. Real estate is classified as held for sale when the Company’s Board of Directors, or its investment committee has approved the sale of the asset, a legally enforceable contract has been executed and the buyer’s due diligence period has expired.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
With respect to assets classified as held for use, if events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant decline in occupancy, identification of materially adverse legal or environmental factors, change in our designation of an asset to non-core which impacts the anticipated holding period or market value less than cost) indicate that the carrying value may be impaired, an impairment analysis is performed. Such analysis is generally performed at the property level, except when an asset is part of an interdependent group (e.g. office park) and consists of determining whether the asset’s carrying amount will be recovered from its undiscounted estimated future operating and residual cash flows. These cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates, costs to operate each property and expected ownership periods. For properties under development, the cash flows are based on expected service potential of the asset (group) when development is substantially complete. If the carrying amount of a held for use asset exceeds the sum of its undiscounted future operating and residual cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between estimated fair value of the asset and the carrying amount. We generally estimate the fair value of assets held for use by using discounted cash flow analysis. In some instances, appraisal information may be available and is used in addition to the discounted cash flow analysis. As the factors used in generating these cash flows are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the discounted and/or undiscounted future operating and residual cash flows estimated by us in our impairment analyses or those established by appraisal may not be achieved and we may be required to recognize future impairment losses on our properties held for use.
We record assets held for sale (including for-sale residential condominiums) at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value. Fair value of assets held for sale is equal to the estimated or contracted sales price with a potential buyer, less costs to sell. The impairment loss, if any, is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value.

(tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per unit data)
1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
We analyze our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment. Such analysis consists of determining whether an expected loss in market value of an investment is other than temporary by evaluating the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and our intent and ability to retain our investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. As the factors used in this analysis are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, we may be required to recognize future impairment losses on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
Sales of Real Estate
For sales transactions meeting the requirements for full profit recognition, the related assets and liabilities are removed from the balance sheet and the resultant gain or loss is recorded in the period the transaction closes. For sales transactions with continuing involvement after the sale, if the continuing involvement with the property is limited by the terms of the sales contract, profit is recognized at the time of sale and is reduced by the maximum exposure to loss related to the nature of the continuing involvement. Sales to entities in which we have or receive an interest are accounted for using partial sale accounting.
For transactions that do not meet the criteria for a sale, we evaluate the nature of the continuing involvement, including put and call provisions, if present, and account for the transaction as a financing arrangement, profit-sharing arrangement, leasing arrangement or other alternate method of accounting, rather than as a sale, based on the nature and extent of the continuing involvement. Some transactions may have numerous forms of continuing involvement. In those cases, we determine which method is most appropriate based on the substance of the transaction.
If we have an obligation to repurchase the property at a higher price or at a future indeterminable value (such as fair market value), or we guarantee the return of the buyer’s investment or a return on that investment for an extended period, we account for such transaction as a financing arrangement. For transactions treated as financing arrangements, we record the amounts received from the buyer as a financing obligation and continue to keep the property and related accounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations of the property, net of expenses other than depreciation, are reflected as interest expense on the financing obligation. If the transaction includes an obligation or option to repurchase the asset at a higher price, additional interest is recorded to accrete the liability to the repurchase price. For options or obligations to repurchase the asset at fair market value at the end of each reporting period, the balance of the liability is adjusted to equal the then current fair value to the extent fair value exceeds the original financing obligation. The corresponding debit or credit is recorded to a related discount account and the revised discount is amortized over the expected term until termination of the option or obligation. If it is unlikely such option will be exercised, the transaction is accounted for under the deposit method or profit-sharing method. If we have an obligation or option to repurchase at a lower price, the transaction is accounted for as a leasing arrangement. At such time as a repurchase obligation expires, a sale is recorded and gain recognized.
If we retain an interest in the buyer and provide certain rent guarantees or other forms of support where the maximum exposure to loss exceeds the gain, we account for such transaction as a profit-sharing arrangement. For transactions treated as profit-sharing arrangements, we record a profit-sharing obligation for the amount of equity contributed by the other partner and continue to keep the property and related accounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations of the property, net of expenses other than depreciation, are allocated to the other partner for its percentage interest and reflected as “co-venture expense” in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In future periods, a sale is recorded and profit is recognized when the remaining maximum exposure to loss is reduced below the amount of gain deferred.

Rental and Other Revenues
Minimum contractual rents from leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. This means that, with respect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of rental revenue recognized for the period. Straight-line rental revenue is commenced when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straight-line rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. Contingent rental revenue, such as percentage rent, is accrued when the contingency is removed. Termination fee income is recognized as revenue at the later of when the customer has vacated the space or the lease has expired and the following conditions are met: a fully executed lease termination agreement has been delivered; the amount of the fee is determinable; and collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. Rental revenue reductions related to co-tenancy lease provisions, if any, are accrued when events have occurred that trigger such provisions.
Property operating cost recoveries from customers are determined on a calendar year and lease-by-lease basis. The most common types of cost reimbursements in our leases are common area maintenance (“CAM”) and real estate taxes, for which the customer pays its pro-rata share of operating and administrative expenses and real estate taxes in excess of a base year. The computation of property operating cost recovery income from customers is complex and involves numerous judgments, including the interpretation of terms and other customer lease provisions. Leases are not uniform in dealing with such cost reimbursements and there are many variations in the computation. Many customers make monthly fixed payments of CAM, real estate taxes and other cost reimbursement items. We accrue income related to these payments each month. We make quarterly accrual adjustments, positive or negative, to cost recovery income to adjust the recorded amounts to our best estimate of the final annual amounts to be billed and collected with respect to the cost reimbursements. After the end of the calendar year, we compute each customer’s final cost reimbursements and, after considering amounts paid by the customer during the year, issue a bill or credit for the appropriate amount to the customer. The differences between the amounts billed less previously received payments and the accrual adjustment are recorded as increases or decreases to cost recovery income when the final bills are prepared, which occurs during the first half of the subsequent year.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable, accrued straight-line rents receivable and mortgages and notes receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. We regularly evaluate the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of our customer, historical trends of the customer and changes in customer payment terms. Additionally, with respect to customers in bankruptcy, we estimate the probable recovery through bankruptcy claims and adjust the allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. If our assumptions regarding the collectability of receivables prove incorrect, we could experience losses in excess of our allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance and its related receivable are written-off when we have concluded there is a low probability of collection.
Discontinued Operations
Properties that are sold or classified as held for sale are classified as discontinued operations provided that (1) the operations and cash flows of the property will be eliminated from our ongoing operations and (2) we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after it is sold. Interest expense is included in discontinued operations if the related loan securing the sold property is to be paid off or assumed by the buyer in connection with the sale. If the property is sold to a joint venture in which we retain an interest, the property will not be accounted for as a discontinued operation due to our significant ongoing interest in the operations through our joint venture interest. If we are retained to provide property management, leasing and/or other services for the property owner after the sale, the property generally will be accounted for as a discontinued operation because the expected cash flows related to our management and leasing activities generally will not be significant in comparison to the cash flows from the property prior to sale.

Lease Incentives
Lease incentive costs, which are payments made to or on behalf of a customer as an incentive to sign the lease, are capitalized in deferred financing and leasing costs and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms as a reduction of rental revenues.
For-Sale Residential Condominiums
For-sale residential condominiums include completed, but unsold, condominium inventory. We initially record receipts of earnest money deposits in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in accordance with the deposit method. We then record completed sales when units close and the remaining net cash is received. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we received $5.3 million, $13.0 million and $28.6 million, respectively, in gross proceeds and recorded $5.0 million, $12.1 million and $23.0 million, respectively, of cost of assets sold from condominium sales.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
We account for our investments in less than majority owned joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies using the equity method of accounting when our interests represent a general partnership interest but substantive participating rights or substantive kick out rights have been granted to the limited partners or when our interests do not represent a general partnership interest and we do not control the major operating and financial policies of the entity. These investments are initially recorded at cost, as investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and are subsequently adjusted for our share of earnings and cash contributions and distributions. To the extent our cost basis at formation of the joint venture is different than the basis reflected at the joint venture level, the basis difference is amortized over the life of the related assets and included in our share of equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.
Additionally, our joint ventures will frequently borrow funds on their own behalf to finance the acquisition of, and/or leverage the return upon, the properties being acquired by the joint ventures or to build or acquire additional buildings. Such borrowings are typically on a non-recourse or limited recourse basis. We generally are not liable for the debts of our joint ventures, except to the extent of our equity investment. In most cases, we and/or our joint venture partners are required to agree to customary limited exceptions on non-recourse loans.
Cash Equivalents
We consider highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash deposits that are legally restricted or held by third parties on our behalf. It includes security deposits from sales contracts on for-sale residential condominiums, construction-related escrows, property disposition proceeds set aside and designated or intended to fund future tax-deferred exchanges of qualifying real estate investments, escrows and reserves for debt service, real estate taxes and property insurance established pursuant to certain mortgage financing arrangements, and deposits given to lenders to unencumber secured properties, if any.

Redeemable Common Units and Preferred Units
Limited partners holding Common Units other than the Company (“Redeemable Common Units”) have the right to put any and all of the Common Units to the Operating Partnership and the Company has the right to put any and all of the Preferred Units to the Operating Partnership in exchange for their liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid distributions in the event of a corresponding redemption by the Company of the underlying Preferred Stock. Consequently, these Redeemable Common Units and Preferred Units are classified outside of permanent partners’ capital in the accompanying balance sheet. The recorded value of the Redeemable Common Units is based on fair value at the balance sheet date as measured by the closing price of Common Stock on that date multiplied by the total number of Redeemable Common Units outstanding. The recorded value of the Preferred Units is based on their redemption value.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected and expects to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A corporate REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate assets and, through the payment of dividends to stockholders, is generally permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of federal and state income taxes at the corporate level. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to pay dividends to its stockholders equal to at least 90.0% of its annual REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. The partnership agreement requires the Operating Partnership to pay economically equivalent distributions on outstanding Common Units at the same time that the Company pays dividends on its outstanding Common Stock.
Other than income taxes related to its taxable REIT subsidiary, the Operating Partnership does not reflect any federal income taxes in its financial statements, since as a partnership the taxable effects of its operations are attributed to its partners. The Operating Partnership does record state income tax for states that tax partnership income directly.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. At December 31, 2010, the wholly owned properties, defined as in-service properties (excluding rental residential units) to which we have title and 100.0% ownership rights (“Wholly Owned Properties”), were leased to 1,614 customers in nine primary geographic locations. The geographic locations that comprise greater than 10.0% of our annualized cash rental revenue are Raleigh, NC, Tampa, FL, Atlanta, GA, Nashville, TN and Kansas City, MO. Our customers engage in a wide variety of businesses. No single customer of the Wholly Owned Properties generated more than 10.0% of our consolidated revenues during 2010.
We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and our restricted cash at financial or other intermediary institutions. The combined account balances at each institution may exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. Additionally, from time to time in connection with tax-deferred 1031 transactions, our restricted cash balances may be commingled with other funds being held by any such intermediary institution which subjects our balance to the credit risk of the institution.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility, construction facility and bank term loans bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of secured and unsecured long-term financings and the issuance of unsecured debt securities, typically bears interest at fixed rates although some loans bear interest at variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. The interest rate on all of our variable rate debt is generally adjusted at one or three month intervals, subject to settlements under these interest rate hedge contracts. We also enter into treasury lock and similar agreements from time to time in order to limit our exposure to an increase in interest rates with respect to future debt offerings.
Our objective in using interest rate hedge contracts is to add stability to interest expense and manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To accomplish this objective, we sometimes use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. We do not hold these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes and generally do not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. Interest rate hedge contracts typically contain a provision whereby if we default on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our hedge contracts.
We are exposed to certain losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty under any outstanding hedge contracts. We expect the counterparty, which generally is a major financial institution, to perform fully under any such contracts. However, if any counterparty were to default on its obligation under an interest rate hedge contract, we could be required to pay the full rates on our debt, even if such rates were in excess of the rate in the contract.
We account for terminated derivative instruments by recognizing the related accumulated comprehensive income/loss balance in current earnings, unless the hedged forecasted transaction continues as originally planned, in which case we continue to amortize the accumulated comprehensive income/loss into earnings over the originally designated hedge period.
Earnings Per Unit
Basic earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income available for common unitholders by the weighted Common Units outstanding - basic. Diluted earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders by the weighted Common Units outstanding – basic plus the dilutive effect of options and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Weighted Common Units outstanding – basic include all of the Company’s unvested restricted stock since dividends received on such restricted stock are non-forfeitable.

2. Real Estate Assets
Acquisitions
In the third quarter of 2010, we acquired a 336,000 square foot office property in Memphis, TN for $10.0 million in cash and the assumption of $42.6 million of 6.43% effective rate secured debt, which was recorded at fair value of $40.3 million and incurred $0.4 million of acquisition-related costs. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we acquired a 117,000 square foot office property and 32.6 acres of development land in Tampa, FL for $12.0 million in cash and incurred $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs. At the time of acquisition, the office building was vacant. Also, we acquired our partner’s interest in a joint venture that owned for-sale residential condominiums for $0.5 million in cash.
In 2009, we acquired a 220,000 square foot office building in Tampa, FL for $22.3 million in cash and incurred $0.1 million of acquisition-related costs.
In 2008, we acquired a 135,000 square foot office building in Memphis, TN in exchange for 183,587 Common Units and the assumption of $7.8 million of 8.15% effective rate secured debt, which were recorded at fair value of $6.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively.
Dispositions
During the second quarter of 2010, we sold seven office properties in Winston Salem, NC for gross proceeds of $12.9 million. In connection with this disposition, we received cash of $4.5 million and provided seller financing of $8.4 million (recorded at fair value of $8.4 million in mortgages and notes receivable) and committed to lend up to an additional $1.7 million for tenant improvements and lease commissions, of which $0.2 million was funded as of December 31, 2010. The three-year, interest-only first mortgage carries a 6.0% average interest rate. Assuming no default exists, the note can be extended by the buyer for two additional one-year periods, subject to an increase in the interest rate to 7.0% in the fourth year and to 8.0% in the fifth year. We have accounted for this disposition using the installment method, whereby the $0.4 million gain on disposition of property has been deferred and will be recognized when the seller financing is repaid.
During the second quarter of 2010, we also sold six industrial properties in Greensboro, NC for gross proceeds of $12.0 million. In connection with this disposition, we received cash of $3.4 million and provided seller financing of $8.6 million (recorded at fair value of $8.6 million in mortgages and notes receivable) and a limited rent guarantee with maximum exposure to loss of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2010. The three-year, interest-only first mortgage carries a 6.25% average interest rate. Assuming no default exists, the note can be extended by the buyer for two additional one-year periods, subject to an increase in the interest rate to 7.0% in the fourth year and to 7.75% in the fifth year. We currently have concluded that a loss from the rent guarantee is not probable. We have accounted for this disposition using the installment method, whereby the $0.3 million impairment was recognized in net gains/(losses) on disposition of discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2010.
During the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a completed sale in connection with the disposition of an office property in Raleigh, NC in the fourth quarter of 2009 where the buyer’s limited right to compel us to repurchase the property expired. Accordingly, we recognized the $0.2 million gain on disposition of property in the first quarter of 2010.
In 2009, we sold 517,000 square feet of non-core retail and office properties for gross proceeds of $78.2 million and recorded gains of $21.7 million.
In 2008, we sold 744,000 square feet of office and industrial properties for gross proceeds of approximately $56.8 million and recorded net gains of $17.9 million. We also sold 38 acres of non-core land for gross sale proceeds of $9.2 million and recorded a net gain of $0.3 million.

2. Real Estate Assets - Continued
Impairments
We recorded impairment of assets held for use of $2.6 million and $3.4 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, on four office properties located in Winston-Salem, NC. Additionally, we recorded impairment of $11.0 million and $29.4 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, on certain office, industrial and retail properties in Winston-Salem and Greensboro, NC that were sold in 2010 and required discontinued operations presentation. Impairments can arise from a number of factors; accordingly, there can be no assurances that we will not be required to record additional impairment charges in the future (see Note 1).
Development
As of December 31, 2010, we had one office property aggregating 60,000 square feet which was reflected as development in process due to ongoing redevelopment activities. The project is 100.0% leased.

Our mortgages and notes receivable consists primarily of seller financing issued in conjunction with two disposition transactions in 2010 (see Note 2). This seller financing is evidenced by first mortgages secured by the assignment of rents and the underlying real estate assets. We conclude on the credit quality of the receivables by monitoring the leasing statistics and market fundamentals of these assets. As of December 31, 2010, the interest payments on both mortgages receivable were current and there were no indications of impairment on the receivables. We may be required to take impairment charges in the future if and to the extent the underlying collateral diminishes in value.

|
During the third quarter of 2006, three of our Des Moines joint ventures made cash distributions aggregating $17.0 million in connection with a debt refinancing. We received 50.0% of such distributions. As a result of these distributions, our investment account in these joint ventures became negative. We recorded the distributions as a reduction of our investment account and included the resulting negative investment balances of $12.4 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities at December 31, 2009. Our interests in these joint ventures were sold in the second quarter of 2010.

This amount represents the aggregate difference between our historical cost basis and the basis reflected at the joint venture level, which is typically depreciated over the life of the related asset.

The following summarizes additional information related to certain of our unconsolidated affiliates:
- Highwoods DLF 97/26 DLF 99/32, L.P. (“DLF II”)
In 2009, DLF II sold one property for gross proceeds of $7.1 million and recorded an impairment charge of $0.5 million. We recorded $0.2 million as our proportionate share of this impairment charge through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in 2009.
- Kessinger/Hunter, LLC
Kessinger/Hunter, LLC, which is managed by our joint venture partner, previously provided property management, leasing, brokerage and certain construction related services to certain of our Wholly Owned Properties in Kansas City, MO. These services were reduced by us to only leasing-related services in 2009. Kessinger/Hunter, LLC received $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $2.6 million from us for these services in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
- Highwoods-DLF Forum, LLC (“DLF Forum”)
In 2008, we contributed $12.3 million to this joint venture for a 25% ownership interest. The joint venture acquired a 635,000 square foot office park in Raleigh, NC, for approximately $113 million and obtained a $67.5 million loan secured by the property.
- Highwoods DLF 98/29, LLC (“DLF I”)
At the formation of this joint venture in 1999, our partner contributed excess cash to the venture that was distributed to us under the joint venture agreements. We are required to repay this excess cash to our partner over time, as discussed in Note 9.
In 2009, DLF I sold a property for gross proceeds of $14.8 million and recorded a gain of $3.4 million. We recorded $0.8 million as our proportionate share of this gain through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in 2009.
- HIW Development B, LLC
In 2009, we contributed $0.3 million to this joint venture for a 10% ownership interest. Simultaneous with the formation, this joint venture acquired land for $3.4 million to be used for development in Charlotte, NC. In 2010, we contributed an additional $1.0 million to this joint venture for the purpose of constructing a build-to-suit office property expected to cost $46.5 million when completed in 2011. We receive customary development fees for this construction.

- Des Moines, IA Joint Ventures
During the second quarter of 2010, we sold our equity interests in a series of unconsolidated joint ventures relating to properties in Des Moines, IA. The assets in the joint ventures included 1.7 million square feet of office, 788,000 square feet of industrial and 45,000 square feet of retail properties, as well as 418 apartment units. In connection with the closing, we received $15.0 million in cash. We had a negative book basis in certain of the joint ventures, primarily as a result of prior cash distributions to the partners. Accordingly, we recorded gain on disposition of investment in unconsolidated affiliates of $25.3 million in the second quarter of 2010. As of the closing date, the joint ventures had approximately $170 million of secured debt, which was non-recourse to us except (1) in the case of customary exceptions pertaining to matters such as misuse of funds, borrower bankruptcy, unpermitted transfers, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations and (2) approximately $9.0 million of direct and indirect guarantees. We have been released by the applicable lenders from all such direct and indirect guarantees and we have no ongoing lender liability relating to such customary exceptions to non-recourse liability with respect to most, but not all, of the debt. The buyer has agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all future losses that we suffer as a result of our prior investment in the joint ventures (other than losses directly resulting from our acts or omissions). In the event we are exposed to any such future loss, our financial condition and operating results would not be adversely affected unless the buyer defaults on its indemnification obligation.
- Other Activities
We receive development, management and leasing fees for services provided to certain of our joint ventures. These fees are recognized as income to the extent of our respective joint venture partner’s interest in rental and other revenues. In the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $2.7 million, $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of development, management and leasing fees from our unconsolidated joint ventures.
Consolidated Affiliates
The following summarizes our consolidated affiliates:
- Highwoods-Markel Associates, LLC (“Markel”)
We have a 50.0% ownership interest in Markel. We are the manager and leasing agent for Markel’s properties located in Richmond, VA and receive customary management and leasing fees. We consolidate Markel since we are the general partner and control the major operating and financial policies of the joint venture. The organizational documents of Markel require the entity to be liquidated through the sale of its assets upon reaching December 31, 2100. As controlling partner, we have an obligation to cause this property-owning entity to distribute proceeds of liquidation to the noncontrolling interest partner in these partially owned properties only if the net proceeds received by the entity from the sale of our assets warrant a distribution as determined by the agreement. We estimate the value of noncontrolling interest distributions would have been approximately $13.9 million had the entity been liquidated at December 31, 2010. This estimated settlement value is based on the fair value of the underlying properties which is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates and costs to operate each property. If the entity’s underlying assets are worth less than the underlying liabilities on the date of such liquidation, we would have no obligation to remit any consideration to the noncontrolling interest holder.
- SF-HIW Harborview Plaza, LP (“Harborview”)
We have a 20.0% interest in Harborview. We are the manager and leasing agent for Harborview’s property located in Tampa, FL and receive customary management and leasing fees. As further described in Note 8, we account for this joint venture as a financing obligation since our partner has the right to put its interest back to us in the future.

In 2007, through our taxable REIT subsidiary, we contributed $10.6 million for a majority owned interest in Plaza Residential, which was formed to develop and sell 139 for-sale residential condominiums constructed above an office property developed by us in Raleigh, NC. Our partner had a 7.0% ownership interest in the joint venture, performed development services for the joint venture for a market development fee and guaranteed 40.0% of the construction financing. As of December 31, 2009, we consolidated this joint venture since we own the majority interest. On December 30, 2010, we acquired our partner’s interest for $0.5 million.

This amount does not reflect a one-year extension option available to us, except in the event of default, related to amounts outstanding under our $70.0 million secured construction facility.
|
Our $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature on February 21, 2013 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $50.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming we continue to have three publicly announced ratings from the credit rating agencies, the interest rate and facility fee under our revolving credit facility are based on the lower of the two highest publicly announced ratings. Based on our current credit ratings, the interest rate is LIBOR plus 290 basis points and the annual facility fee is 60 basis points. We expect to use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and for the short-term funding of our development and acquisition activity and, in certain instances, the repayment of other debt. Continuing ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility allows us to quickly capitalize on strategic opportunities at short-term interest rates. There was $30.0 million and $20.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011, respectively. At both December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011, we had $0.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011 was $369.5 million and $379.5 million, respectively.
Our $70.0 million secured construction facility, of which $52.1 million was outstanding at December 31, 2010, is scheduled to mature on December 20, 2011. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have the option to extend the maturity date for an additional one-year period. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 85 basis points. This facility had $17.9 million of availability at December 31, 2010 and February 2, 2011.
In 2010, we repaid $10.0 million of our $20.0 million, three-year unsecured term loan. Additionally, we repaid the $5.8 million remaining balance then outstanding on the mortgage payable secured by our 96 rental residential units to unencumber these assets for a planned development project. We incurred a penalty of $0.6 million related to this early repayment, which is included in loss on debt extinguishment in 2010.
In 2009, we paid off at maturity $50.0 million of 8.125% unsecured notes and retired the remaining $107.2 million principal amount of a two-tranched secured loan. We also obtained a $20.0 million, three-year unsecured term loan bearing interest of 3.90%, a $115.0 million, six and a half-year secured loan bearing interest of 6.88% and a $47.3 million, seven-year secured loan bearing interest of 7.50%. We also repurchased $8.2 million principal amount of unsecured notes due 2017 and obtained a new $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility which replaced the then existing credit facility, as discussed previously.

6. Mortgages and Notes Payable - Continued
In 2008, we obtained a $137.5 million, three-year unsecured term loan bearing interest of LIBOR plus 110 basis points. We used a portion of the proceeds to pay off at maturity $100.0 million of 7.125% unsecured notes.
We are currently in compliance with the debt covenants and other requirements with respect to our outstanding debt.
Our revolving credit facility, bank term loan due in February 2011 ($137.5 million outstanding as of December 31, 2010) and bank term loan due in March 2012 ($10.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2010) require us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial requirements. If we were to fail to make a payment when due with respect to any of our other obligations with aggregate unpaid principal of $10.0 million, and such failure remains uncured for more than 120 days, the lenders under our credit facility could provide notice of their intent to accelerate all amounts due thereunder. Upon an event of default on the revolving credit facility, the lenders having at least 66.7% of the total commitments under the revolving credit facility can accelerate all borrowings then outstanding, and we could be prohibited from borrowing any further amounts under our revolving credit facility, which would adversely affect our ability to fund our operations.
The Operating Partnership has $391.0 million carrying amount of 2017 bonds outstanding and $200.0 million carrying amount of 2018 bonds outstanding. The indenture that governs these outstanding notes requires us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial ratios. The trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of either series of bonds can accelerate the principal amount of such series upon written notice of a default that remains uncured after 60 days.
We may not be able to repay, refinance or extend any or all of our debt at maturity or upon any acceleration. If any refinancing is done at higher interest rates, the increased interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to pay distributions. Any such refinancing could also impose tighter financial ratios and other covenants that restrict our ability to take actions that could otherwise be in our best interest, such as funding new development activity, making opportunistic acquisitions, repurchasing our securities or paying distributions.
Other Information
Total interest capitalized to development projects was $1.4 million, $4.6 million and $8.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Harborview
Our joint venture partner in Harborview has the right to put its 80.0% equity interest in the joint venture to us in exchange for cash at any time during the one-year period commencing September 11, 2014. The value of the 80.0% equity interest will be determined at the time that our partner elects to exercise its put right, if ever, based upon the then fair market value of Harborview LP’s assets and liabilities, less 3.0%, which amount was intended to cover the normal costs of a sale transaction. Because of the put option, this transaction is accounted for as a financing transaction. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations related to Harborview Plaza, the property owned by Harborview LP remain in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
As a result, we established a financing obligation equal to the $12.7 million net equity contributed by the other partner. At the end of each reporting period, the balance of the gross financing obligation is adjusted to equal the greater of the original financing obligation of $12.7 million or the current fair value of the put option discussed above. This financing obligation, net of payments made to our joint venture partner, is adjusted by a related valuation allowance account, which is being amortized prospectively through September 2014 as interest expense on financing obligation. The fair value of the put option was $10.2 million and $12.2 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Additionally, the net income from the operations before depreciation of Harborview Plaza allocable to the 80.0% partner is recorded as interest expense on financing obligation. We continue to depreciate the property and record all of the depreciation on our books.

8. Financing Arrangements - Continued
Tax Increment Financing Bond
In connection with tax increment financing for construction of a public garage related to a wholly owned office building, we are obligated to pay fixed special assessments over a 20-year period ending in 2019. The net present value of these assessments, discounted at 6.93% at the inception of the obligation, which represents the interest rate on the underlying bond financing, is recorded as a financing obligation. We receive special tax revenues and property tax rebates recorded in interest and other income, which are intended, but not guaranteed, to provide funds to pay the special assessments. We acquired the underlying bond in a privately negotiated transaction in 2007 (see Note 11).
Repurchase Obligation
In connection with a disposition in 2009 of a building located in Raleigh, NC, the buyer had a limited right to put the building to us in exchange for the sales price plus certain costs if we had been unable to satisfy a certain post-closing requirement by March 1, 2010. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations of the building remained in our Consolidated Financial Statements during this contingency period. We satisfied this post-closing requirement in the first quarter of 2010 and accordingly, met the requirements to record a completed sale in the first quarter of 2010.
Capitalized Ground Lease Obligation
The capitalized ground lease obligation represents an obligation to the lessor of land on which we constructed a building. We are obligated to make fixed payments to the lessor through October 2022 and the lease provides for fixed price purchase options in the ninth and tenth years of the lease. We intend to exercise the purchase option in order to prevent an economic penalty related to conveying the building to the lessor at the expiration of the lease. The net present value of the fixed rental payments and purchase option through the ninth year was calculated at the inception of the lease using a discount rate of 7.1%. The assets and liabilities under the capital lease are recorded at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments or the fair value. The liability accretes into interest expense each month for the difference between the interest rate on the financing obligation and the fixed payments. The accretion will continue until the liability equals the purchase option of the land in the ninth year of the lease.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Ground Leases
Certain Wholly Owned Properties are subject to operating ground leases. Rental payments on these leases are adjusted periodically based on either the consumer price index or on a pre-determined schedule. Total rental property expense recorded for operating ground leases was $1.5 million, $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Completion Contracts
We have approximately $8.6 million of completion contracts at December 31, 2010. Completion contracts relate to payments to be made under current contracts for various development/construction projects, which we expect to pay in 2011.
Environmental Matters
Substantially all of our in-service and development properties have been subjected to Phase I environmental assessments and, in certain instances, Phase II environmental assessments. Such assessments and/or updates have not revealed, nor are we aware of, any environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
DLF I Obligation
At the formation of DLF I, the amount our partner contributed in cash to the venture and subsequently distributed to us was determined to be $7.2 million in excess of the amount required based on its ownership interest and the agreed-upon value of the real estate assets. We are required to repay this amount over 14 years, beginning in the first quarter of 1999. The $7.2 million was discounted to net present value of $3.8 million using a discount rate of 9.62% specified in the agreement. Payments of $0.6 million were made in each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The balance at December 31, 2010 and 2009 is $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Litigation, Claims and Assessments
We are from time to time a party to a variety of legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of our business. We regularly assess the liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based on the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that we have incurred or will incur a loss and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is accrued and charged to income in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In other instances, because of the uncertainties related to both the probable outcome and amount or range of loss, a reasonable estimate of liability, if any, cannot be made. Based on the current expected outcome of such matters, none of these proceedings, claims or assessments is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
10. Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Affiliates
At December 31, 2010, noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates, a component of equity, relates to our respective joint venture partners’ 50.0% interest in Markel. Our joint venture partner is an unrelated third party.

11. Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following summarizes the three levels of inputs that we use to measure fair value, as well as the assets and liabilities that we recognize at fair value using those levels of inputs.
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Our Level 1 assets are investments in marketable securities which we use to pay benefits under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Our Level 1 liability is our non-qualified deferred compensation obligation.
Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
We had no Level 2 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our Level 3 assets are our tax increment financing bond, which is not routinely traded but whose fair value is determined using the income approach to estimate the projected redemption value based on quoted bid/ask prices for similar unrated municipal bonds, and real estate assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of our quarterly impairment analysis, which were valued using independent appraisals, substantiated by internal cash flow analyses.
The following tables set forth the assets and liability that we measure at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. We determine the level based on the lowest level of substantive input used to determine fair value.

In 2007, we acquired a tax increment financing bond associated with a property developed by us. This bond amortizes to maturity in 2020. The estimated fair value at December 31, 2010 was $2.5 million below the outstanding principal due on the bond. If the yield-to-maturity used to fair value this bond was 100 basis points higher or lower, the fair value of the bond would have been $0.7 million lower or higher, respectively, as of December 31, 2010. Currently, we intend to hold this bond and have concluded that we will not be required to sell this bond before recovery of the bond principal. Payment of the principal and interest for the bond is guaranteed by us and, therefore, we have recorded no credit losses related to the bond in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. There is no legal right of offset with the liability, which we report as a financing obligation, related to this tax increment financing bond.

11. Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments – Continued
The carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, marketable securities of non-qualified deferred compensation plan, tax increment financing bond and non-qualified deferred compensation obligation are equal to or approximate fair value. The fair values of our mortgages and notes receivable, mortgages and notes payable and financing obligations were estimated using the income or market approaches to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants on the respective measurement dates.

Common Unit Distributions
Distributions declared and paid per Common Unit aggregated $1.70 for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.
Redeemable Common Units
The Operating Partnership is obligated to redeem each Redeemable Common Unit at the request of the holder thereof for cash equal to the value of one share of Common Stock based on the average of the market price for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the notice date of such redemption, provided that the Company at its option may elect to acquire any such Redeemable Common Unit presented for redemption for cash or one share of Common Stock. When a holder redeems a Redeemable Common Unit for a share of Common Stock or cash, the Company’s share in the Operating Partnership will be increased. The Common Units owned by the Company are not redeemable.

Warrants
Warrants to acquire Common Stock were issued in 1997 and 1999 in connection with property acquisitions. Upon exercise of a warrant, the Company will contribute the exercise price to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Common Units. Therefore, the Operating Partnership accounts for such warrants as if issued by the Operating Partnership. In 2010 and 2009, there were no warrants exercised. In 2008, 10,000 warrants with an exercise price of $32.50 were exercised. These warrants have no expiration date.

13. Employee Benefit Plans
Officer, Management and Director Compensation Programs
The officers of the Company, which is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, participate in an annual non-equity incentive program whereby they are eligible for incentive cash payments based on a percentage of their annual base salary. In addition to considering the pay practices of the Company’s peer group in determining each officer’s incentive payment percentage, the officer’s ability to influence the Company’s performance is also considered. Each officer has a target annual non-equity incentive payment percentage that ranges from 25% to 130% of base salary depending on the officer’s position. The officer’s actual incentive payment for the year is the product of the target annual incentive payment percentage times a “performance factor,” which can range from zero to 200%. This performance factor depends upon the relationship between how various performance criteria compare with predetermined goals. For an officer who has division responsibilities, goals for certain performance criteria are based partly on the division’s actual performance relative to that division’s established goals and partly on actual total performance. Incentive payments are accrued and expensed in the year earned and are generally paid in the first quarter of the following year.
Certain other members of management participate in an annual non-equity incentive program whereby a target annual cash incentive payment is established based upon the job responsibilities of their position. Incentive payment eligibility ranges from 10% to 30% of annual base salary. The actual incentive payment is determined by our overall performance and the individual’s performance during each year. These incentive payments are also accrued and expensed in the year earned and are generally paid in the first quarter of the following year.

The Company’s officers generally receive annual grants of stock options and restricted stock on or about March 1 of each year. Restricted stock grants are also made annually to directors and certain non-officer employees. At December 31, 2010, there was remaining availability of 2.6 million shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the 2009 Long Term Equity Incentive Plan, of which no more than 0.8 million can be in the form of restricted stock.
Additional total return-based restricted stock may be issued at the end of the three-year periods if actual performance exceeds certain levels of performance. Such additional shares, if any, would be fully vested when issued. No expense is recorded for additional shares of total return-based restricted stock that may be issued at the end of the three-year period since that possibility is already reflected in the grant date fair value.
Dividends received on restricted stock are non-forfeitable and are paid at the same rate and on the same date as on shares of Common Stock. Dividends paid on subsequently forfeited shares are expensed.
During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $6.6 million, $6.6 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense. Because we generally do not pay income taxes we do not realize tax benefits on share-based payments. At December 31, 2010, there was $6.2 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation costs, which will be recognized over vesting periods that have a weighted average remaining term of 2.1 years.

- Stock Options
Stock options issued prior to 2005 vest ratably over four years and remain outstanding for 10 years. Stock options issued beginning in 2005 vest ratably over a four-year period and remain outstanding for seven years. The value of all options as of the date of grant is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is amortized over the respective vesting or service period. The fair values of options granted during 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $4.96, $1.82 and $3.18, respectively, per option. The fair values of the options granted were determined at the grant dates using the following assumptions:

- Total Return-Based and Performance-Based Restricted Stock
During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company issued shares of total return-based restricted stock to officers that will vest from zero to 250% based on (1) the Company’s absolute total returns for the three-year periods ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, relative to defined target returns and (2) whether the Company’s total return exceeds the average total returns of a selected group of peer companies. The grant date fair value of such shares of total return-based restricted stock was determined to be 101%, 53.6% and 100%, respectively, of the market value of a share of Common Stock as of the grant date and is amortized over the respective three-year period.
During 2008, the Company also issued shares of performance-based restricted stock to officers that will vest pursuant to certain performance-based criteria. The performance-based criteria are based on whether or not we meet or exceed at the end of three-year performance periods certain operating and financial goals established under our Strategic Plan. To the extent actual performance equals or exceeds threshold performance goals, the portion of shares of performance-based restricted stock that vest can range from 50% to 100%. If actual performance does not meet such threshold goals, none of the performance-based restricted stock will vest. The fair value of performance-based restricted share grants is based on the market value of Common Stock as of the date of grant and the estimated performance to be achieved at the end of the three-year period. Such fair value is being amortized to expense during the period from grant date to the vesting dates, adjusting for the expected level of vesting that will occur at those dates.

13. Employee Benefit Plans - Continued
Retirement Plan
The Company has adopted a retirement plan applicable to all employees, including officers, who, at the time of retirement, have at least 30 years of continuous qualified service or are at least 55 years old and have at least 10 years of continuous qualified service. Subject to advance retirement notice and execution of a non-compete agreement with us, eligible retirees are entitled to receive a pro rata amount of the annual incentive payment earned during the year of retirement. Stock options and restricted stock granted by the Company to such eligible retiree during his or her employment would be non-forfeitable and vest according to the terms of their original grants. The benefits of this retirement plan apply only to restricted stock and stock option grants and have been phased in 25% on March 1, 2006 and 25% on each anniversary thereof. For employees who meet the age and service eligibility requirements, 75% of their 2008 grants and 100% of their grants thereafter were deemed fully vested at the grant date, which increased compensation expense by approximately $1.1 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Deferred Compensation
The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan pursuant to which each officer and director could elect to defer a portion of their base salary and/or annual non-equity incentive payment (or director fees) which are invested by the Company in various mutual funds. The Company indefinitely suspended this option to defer compensation earned after January 1, 2010. These investments are recorded at fair value which aggregated $3.5 million and $6.1 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, with an offsetting deferred compensation liability recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. Such deferred compensation is expensed in the period earned by the officers and directors. Deferred amounts ultimately payable to the officers and directors are based on the value of the related mutual fund investments. Accordingly, changes in the value of the marketable mutual fund investments are recorded in interest and other income and the corresponding offsetting changes in the deferred compensation liability are recorded in general and administration expense. As a result, there is no effect on our net income subsequent to the time the compensation is deferred and fully funded.
The following table sets forth the Company’s deferred compensation liability:

We contribute amounts for each participant at a rate of 75% of the employee’s contribution (up to 6% of each employee’s bi-weekly salary and cash incentives subject to statutory limits). During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we contributed $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, to the 401(k) savings plan. The assets of this qualified plan are not included in our Consolidated Financial Statements since the assets are not owned by us. Administrative expenses of the plan are paid by us.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan pursuant to which employees generally may contribute up to 25.0% of their base and annual non-equity incentive compensation for the purchase of Common Stock. At the end of each three-month offering period, the contributions in each participant's account balance, which includes accrued dividends, is applied to acquire shares of Common Stock at a cost that was calculated during 2010, 2009 and 2008 at 85.0% of the lower of the average closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the five consecutive days preceding the first day of the quarter or the five days preceding the last day of the quarter. In the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company issued 27,378, 37,287 and 29,324 shares, respectively, of Common Stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The discount on newly issued shares is expensed by us as additional compensation and aggregated $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

18. Income Taxes
Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the operations of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary, which is not entitled to the dividends paid deduction and is subject to corporate, state and local income taxes. The taxable REIT subsidiary has operated at a cumulative taxable loss through December 31, 2010 of approximately $7.2 million and has paid no income taxes since its formation. In addition to the $2.8 million deferred tax asset for these cumulative tax loss carryforwards, the taxable REIT subsidiary also had net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $2.0 million comprised primarily of tax versus book basis differences in certain investments and depreciable assets held by the taxable REIT subsidiary. Because the future tax benefit of the cumulative losses is not assured, the approximate $0.8 million net deferred tax asset position of the taxable REIT subsidiary has been fully reserved as management does not believe that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized. The tax benefit of the cumulative losses could be recognized for financial reporting purposes in future periods to the extent the taxable REIT subsidiary generates sufficient taxable income. Other than income taxes related to its taxable REIT subsidiary, the Operating Partnership recorded state income tax expense in rental property and other expenses of $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The minimum dividend per share of Common Stock required for the Company to maintain its REIT status was $0.32, $0.89 and $0.76 per share in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Continued qualification as a REIT depends on the Company’s ability to satisfy the dividend distribution tests, stock ownership requirements and various other qualification tests prescribed in the Code. The tax basis of our assets (net of accumulated tax depreciation and amortization) and liabilities was approximately $2.4 billion and $1.6 billion at both December 31, 2010 and 2009.
The Company is subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for 2007 through 2010.

19. Segment Information
Our principal business is the operation, acquisition and development of rental real estate properties. We evaluate our business by product type and by geographic location. Each product type has different customers and economic characteristics as to rental rates and terms, cost per square foot of buildings, the purposes for which customers use the space, the degree of maintenance and customer support required and customer dependency on different economic drivers, among others. The operating results by geographic grouping are also regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker for assessing performance and other purposes. There are no material inter-segment transactions.
Our accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used in our Consolidated Financial Statements. All operations are within the United States and, at December 31, 2010, no single customer of the Wholly Owned Properties generated more than 10% of our consolidated revenues on an annualized basis.
The following table summarizes the rental and other revenues and net operating income, the primary industry property-level performance metric which is defined as rental and other revenues less rental property and other expenses, for each reportable segment:
