Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except shares and per share data)



1. Organization and BasisDescription of Presentation

Business


Douglas Emmett, Inc.,Inc, a Maryland corporation formed on June 28, 2005, is a fully integrated, self-administered, and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT).  We did not have any meaningful operating activity until the consummation of our initial public offering (IPO) and the related acquisition of our predecessor and certain other entities on October 30, 2006.  Through our interest in Douglas Emmett Properties, LP (our operating partnership) and its subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate.  As of September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, we owned a portfolio of 4755 office properties (including ancillary retail space) and nine multifamily properties, as well as the fee interests in two parcels of land that we lease to third parties.  All of these properties are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii.  We qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with our initial taxable year ending December 31, 2006 and expect to maintain such qualification.

The historical financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 in these financial statements relate to our accounting predecessor only. Our predecessor includes Douglas Emmett Realty Advisors, Inc. (DERA) as the accounting acquirer, and nine consolidated real estate limited partnerships that owned, directly or indirectly, office and multifamily properties and fee interests in land subject to ground leases, which we refer to collectively as the “institutional funds.” For the period prior to our IPO presented herein, DERA was the general partner and was responsible for the asset management of the institutional funds.

Our predecessor did not include certain other entities we acquired at the time of our IPO, including Douglas, Emmett and Company (DECO), P.L.E. Builders, Inc., subsequently renamed Douglas Emmett Builders (DEB), and seven California limited partnerships and one California limited liability company, which we refer to collectively as the eight “single-asset entities.” DECO provided property management and leasing services to all of the properties acquired in our formation transactions and DEB provided construction services in connection with improvements to tenant suites and common areas in the properties. Each of the eight single-asset entities owned, directly or indirectly, one multifamily or office property (or, in one case, a fee interest in land subject to a ground lease).


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of Presentation

In March 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-5,Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. EITF 04-5 clarifies certain aspects of Statement of Positions 78-9Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, and provides guidance on determining whether a sole general partner in a limited partnership should consolidate its investment in a limited partnership. DERA was the sole general partner of the institutional funds and the limited partners of the institutional funds did not have substantive “kick-out” or participation rights as defined by EITF 04-5. DERA adopted the guidance of EITF 04-5 and consolidated the institutional funds.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007 and for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007 are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries including our operating partnership.  The financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 represent the consolidated financial statements of our predecessor. They include the accounts of DERA and the institutional funds, but do not include the accounts of the non-predecessor entities which were acquired at the time of our IPO as discussed in Note 1. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Douglas Emmett, Inc

Notes  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except shares and per share data)

conform with current period presentation.


Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by our management pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believeswe believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in theour opinion, of our management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2007.2008. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20062007 and notes thereto.

  Any reference to the number of properties and square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events,assumptions, for example with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquired propertyacquisitions among land, buildings, improvements, equipment and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties in connection with the IPO.liabilities.  These determinations, even though inherentlyestimates and assumptions are subjective and subject to change, affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements--(continued)
(in thousands, except shares and per share data)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of our assets, liabilities and expenses. Whilethe consolidated statements of cash flows, we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time they are made, someconsider short-term investments with maturities of our assumptions, estimates and judgments will inevitably provethree months or less when purchased to be incorrect. As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our accruals, and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our accruals are subject to adjustment as we believe appropriate based on revised estimates and reconciliation to the actual results when available.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the purchase method. Accordingly, the results of operations of acquired properties are included in our results of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. Estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques are used to allocate the purchase price of acquired property between land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place at-market leases, acquired above/below-market ground leases, acquired above/below-market tenant leases and tenant relationships. Initial valuations, including the valuation of assets as part of our IPO, are subject to change until such information is finalized, but no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.

Interest Rate Contracts


We and our predecessor have managedmanage our interest rate risk associated with borrowings by obtaining interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts. No other derivative instruments have been used by us or our predecessor.

were used.


In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS No. 133,133), as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.  As required by FAS No. 138). The statement requires our predecessor to recognize133, we record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value and theThe accounting for changes in fair value must be reflected as income or expense. Changes in the fair value of derivatives which are hedges, dependingdepends on the natureintended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, are either offset againstconsidered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the changeexposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.

Our objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks.  To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our cash flow hedging strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognizedderivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income a component(outside of stockholders’ equity (deficit) untilearnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged item is recognized intransaction affects earnings.  The ineffective portion of a derivative’s changechanges in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings.  We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. Our predecessor’s investments in interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts did not qualify as effective hedges, and consequentlyor cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in such contracts’ fair market values were being recordedvalue or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.  See Note 8.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) commencing with our initial taxable year ending December 31, 2006. To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholdersstockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code through actualrelated to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our shareholdersstockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. We will be subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings we derive through our taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS). If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax.

In addition, we will be subject to foreign,taxation by various state and local taxation in various foreign, state and local(and potentially foreign) jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or reside.  Our predecessor DERA, was an S-Corporation and the institutional funds it sponsored were limited partnerships. Our non TRSnon-TRS subsidiaries, including the operating partnership, are either partnerships or disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes.  Under applicable federal and state income tax rules, the allocated share of net income or loss from the limited partnerships and S-Corporation is reportable in the income tax returns of the respective partners and stockholders.  Accordingly, no income tax provision is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements other than the 1.5% tax due on taxable income of S-Corporations in the State of California attributable to periods prior to our formation transactions.

Minority Interests

Our predecessor reflected unaffiliated partners’ interests in the institutional funds as minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships, which represented the minority partners’ share of the underlying net assets of our predecessor’s consolidated real estate partnerships. When these consolidated real estate partnerships made cash distributions to partners in excess of the carrying amount of the minority interest, our predecessor recorded a charge equal to the amount of such excess distributions, even though there was no economic effect or cost.

If the excess distributions previously absorbed by our predecessor were recovered through the future earnings of the consolidated real estate partnership, our predecessor would record income in the period of recovery. Our predecessor reported this charge and any subsequent recovery in the consolidated statements of operations as deficit distribution to/recovery from minority partners, net.

After the completion of our IPO and formation transactions, the continuing investors (including our predecessor principals and our executive officers) that elected to own units in our operating partnership, as well as persons receiving such units in subsequent transactions, comprise the minority interests in our operating partnership

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.  Since we arewere in a net loss position during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2007 and 2008, all potentially dilutive instruments are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from our computation of weighted average dilutive shares outstanding.
Recently Issued Accounting Literature

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS No. 159, The sumFair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of basic EPSFASB Statement No. 115.  This standard permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and is effective for the first three quartersfiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, which for us means 2008.  We did not elect the fair value measurement option for any financial assets or liabilities during the first quarter of 2008, nor do we currently expect to elect this option for any financial assets or liabilities in the near future.

In December 2007, differsthe FASB issued FAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (FAS 160).  FAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a non-controlling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements separate from the year to date EPS dueparent’s equity.  The amount of net income attributable to the non-controlling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement.  FAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest.  In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment on the deconsolidation date.  FAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its non-controlling interest. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which for us means 2009.  We are currently evaluating the impact that FAS 160 will have on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (FAS 141R).  FAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations.  Under FAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required methodto recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions.  FAS 141R also includes a substantial number of computing EPSnew disclosure requirements.  FAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations occurring in any reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which for us means 2009.  We are currently evaluating the respective periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48), to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted FIN 48 onOn January 1, 2007. Based on our evaluation,2008, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements at September 30, 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statementadopted FAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(FAS 157). FAS 157 provides guidance for usingdefines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  FAS 157 applies to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifiesreported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the principlestandard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.  FAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use whenin pricing the asset or liability.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy givingthat distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the highest priority toreporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).  Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. FAS 157 applies whenever other standards requirefor identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to beaccess. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.


Currently, we use interest rate swaps and caps to manage interest rate risk resulting from variable interest payments on our floating rate debt.  The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.

To comply with the provisions of FAS 157, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.  We have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  We do not have any fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of March 31, 2008.

The table below presents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value. This statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect thatvalue on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008, aggregated by the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

3. Acquisitions

In May 2007, we acquired an approximate 50,000 rentable square foot Class A office building located in our Century City submarket for a contract price of $32 million. We obtained the ground leaseholdlevel in the property and the option to acquire fee title to the land for a fixed price of $800,000 in conjunction with the acquisition. We intend to exercise this option by the end of 2007. The building is currently 100% leased through December 2019. In March 2006, the predecessor acquired a multifamily property in Honolulu, Hawaii. The aggregate acquisition costs of this property approximated $113.7 million. The following table summarizes the allocations of estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

3. Acquisitions
On March 26, 2008, we acquired a 1.4 million square foot office portfolio consisting of six Class “A” buildings all located in our core Los Angeles submarkets – Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks/Encino and Warner Center/Woodland Hills – for a contract price of approximately $610 million.  An affiliate of the seller provided $380 million of first trust deed bridge financing at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points for nine months.

On February 13, 2008, we acquired a two-thirds interest in a 78,298 square-foot office building located in Honolulu, Hawaii.  As part of the same transaction, we also acquired all of the assets of The Honolulu Club, a private membership athletic and social club, which is located in the building.  The aggregate contract price was approximately $18 million and the purchase was made in a consolidated joint venture with our local partner.  The joint venture financed the acquisition with an $18 million loan at a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points.  The loan has a term of two years with a one-year extension.
The results of operations for the acquired properties are included in our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 since the date of acquisition.  We acquired these properties near the end of the quarter, and as such, the following table represents our preliminary purchase price allocation.  These amounts are likely to change based on a more thorough calculation to be performed during the one-year purchase accounting window provided under the relevant accounting standards.  We did not acquire any properties during the first three months of 2007.

We and our predecessor incurred deferred loan cost amortization expense of $282$362 and $625$249 for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007, and 2006, respectively and $782 and $2,304 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The deferred loan cost amortization is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.


5. Minimum Future Lease Rentals


We and our predecessor have leased space to tenants primarily under noncancelable operating leases, which generally contain provisions for a base rent plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses. Operating expense reimbursements are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as tenant recoveries.


We and our predecessor have leased space to certain tenants under noncancelable leases, which provide for percentage rents based upon tenant revenues. Percentage rental income for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled $244 and 2006 totaled $251 and $190, respectively, and $872 and $763 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,$264, respectively.


Future minimum base rentals on noncancelable office and ground operating leases at September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 are as follows:

October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007

  $81,634

7. Secured Notes Payable

During the first quarter of 2008, we borrowed an additional $623 million of long-term variable rate debt, as follows:

·  We obtained a $380 million bridge loan from an affiliate of the seller in the March 2008 acquisitions described in Note 3.  This loan has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points and a nine-month term.

·  We obtained a non-recourse $340 million term loan secured by four of our previously unencumbered office properties.  This loan bears interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 150 basis points, but we have entered into interest rate swap contracts that effectively fix the interest rate at 4.84%, effective in the second quarter of 2008 until January 2, 2013.  This loan facility matures on April 1, 2015.  Proceeds from this loan were utilized to repay our secured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.  At March 31, 2008, $225 million was outstanding, leaving $115 million available to us under this loan.  See Note 13.

·  The joint venture, in which we have a two-thirds interest, obtained an $18 million loan that financed the February 2008 acquisition described in Note 3.  This loan has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points and a two-year term with a one-year extension.

7. Secured Notes Payable

In June 2007, we borrowed an additional $150 million of long term variable rate debt. This included an increase of $132 million in our existing loan facilities with Fannie Mae, plus additional loan facilities with Fannie Mae totaling $18 million. These loans are secured by our residential properties with maturity dates ranging from June 1, 2012 to June 1, 2017. Concurrent with the incremental borrowings, we entered into interest rate contracts to swap the underlying variable rates to fixed rates. These contracts are designated as hedges and result in a weighted average fixed interest rate of approximately 5.87%.

We also have additional interest rate swaps that we acquired from our predecessor at the time of our IPO.  Our predecessor had $2.21 billion notional of pay-fixed interest rate swaps at swap rates ranging between 4.09% and 5.00%.  Concurrent with the completion of our IPO, we executed receive-fixed swaps for the same notional amount at swap rates ranging between 4.96% and 5.00%, which were intended to largely offset the future cash flows and future change in fair value of our predecessor’s pay-fixed swaps.  The acquired pay-fixed swaps and the new receive-fixed swaps were not designated as hedges under FAS 133 and as such, the changes in fair value of these interest rate swaps have been recognized in earnings for all periods.  The fair value of these derivativesswaps decreased $3.3 million and $9.8$1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, representingMarch 31, 2008.  Included in the realizationnet $1.9 million decrease is a $1.2 million increase related to the credit value adjustment resulting from our initial application of the pre-IPOFAS 157 (see Note 2).  The fair value of thethese swaps over their remaining term.

9. Stockholders’ Equity and Minority Interests

Minority interests in our operating partnership relate to interests in our operating partnership that are not owned by us, which amounted to approximately 22% at March 31, 2008.  A unit in our operating partnership and a share of our common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of our operating partnership.  Investors who own units in our operating partnership, have the right to cause our operating partnership to redeem any or all of their units in our operating partnership for cash equal to the then-current market value of one share of common stock, or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.

During the first quarter of 2008, we formed a joint venture to purchase an office building in Honolulu, Hawaii.  The joint venture is two-thirds owned by our operating partnership and is consolidated in our financial statements as of March 31, 2008.

Dividends
During 2008 and 2007, we declared quarterly dividends of $0.1875 and $0.175 per share, respectively, which equals an annual rate of $0.75 and $0.70 per share, respectively.

Our predecessor paid $1.7 milliondebt, revenue recognition, compensation expense and $5.6 million in real estate commissions to DECO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The commissions paid to DECO were accounted for as leasing costs and were included in our predecessor’s investment in real estate in the consolidated balance sheets for the period prior to our IPO.

Our predecessor expensed $2.6 million and $7.4 million in property management fees related to management services by DECO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. These management fees were based upon percentages, ranging from 1.75% to 4.00%, of the rental cash receipts collected by the properties.

Our predecessor contributed its share of discretionary profit-sharing contributions (subject to statutory limitations), totaling $192 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 for services rendered by employees of DECO. No amounts were contributed during the three months ended September 30, 2006.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment

(FAS 123R), which is a revision of FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  Generally, the approach in FAS 123R is similar to the approach described in FAS 123.  However, FAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.


The Douglas Emmett, Inc. 2006 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, our stock incentive plan, was adopted by our board of directors and approved by our stockholders prior to the consummation of our IPO. Our stock incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors.  All full-time and part-time officers, employees, directors and other key persons (including consultants and prospective employees) are eligible to participate in our stock incentive plan.  For more information on our stock incentive plan, please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the first quarter of 2008, we granted approximately 2.7 million long-term incentive units and stock options with a total fair market value of $9.9 million.  For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized non-cash compensation expense of $1.2  million upon the vesting of such equity awards, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  An additional $2.2 million of equity awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to satisfy a portion of the bonus accrued during 2007.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation


We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We believe that theseThese matters are generally covered by insurance. We believe that the ultimate settlementoutcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect toon our financial position and results of operations or cash flows.


Concentration of Credit Risk

Our properties are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate.  We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants for potential credit losses.  Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable and interest rate contracts. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100;$100, and to date, we have not experienced any losses on our deposited cash.


Asset Retirement Obligations

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47).  FIN 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, represents a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within a company’s control.  Under this standard, a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation must be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental site assessments and investigations have identified 18 properties in our portfolio containing asbestos, which would have to be removed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations if these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished. As of September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties have indeterminable settlement dates, and therefore, we are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated conditional asset retirement obligation.

We and our predecessor expensed ground lease payments in the amount of $693$786 and $845$861 for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2008 and 2007, and 2006, respectively and $2,397 and $2,520 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

12. Segment Reporting


FAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, established standards for disclosure about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews information for operational decision makingdecision-making purposes. We and our predecessor have operated in two business segments: (i) the acquisition, redevelopment, ownership and management of office real estate and (ii) the acquisition, redevelopment, ownership and management of multifamily real estate.  The products for our office segment include primarily rental of office space and other tenant services including parking and storage space rental. The products for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services including parking and storage space rental.


Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance and make decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments.  Interest and other income, management services, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and net derivative gains and losses are not included in rental revenues less rental expenses as the internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

Rental revenues less rental expenses is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, and it is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. AllNot all companies may not calculate rental revenues less rental expenses in the same manner. We and our predecessor both consideredconsider rental revenues less rental expenses to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assistedassists both investors and management to understandin understanding the core operations of our and our predecessor’s properties.

On October 31, 2007,May 1, 2008, the remaining $115 million of debt described in Note 7 was funded.

As described in Note 3, in February 2008, we acquired Cornerstone Plaza, an 8-story, Class A office building comprised of approximately 174,000 square feet for a contract price of $84 million. This acquisition increases our assets within the Olympic Corridor submarket to 5 office buildings, totaling approximately 1.1 million rentable square feet. Thein Honolulu, Hawaii.  Located in this building is located at 1990 South Bundy Drivea private membership athletic and social club known as The Honolulu Club.  We acquired the net assets of the club as part of the transaction to acquire the building.  Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, we entered into an agreement to sell the net assets of The Honolulu Club to a third party, while retaining a lease for the space they occupy in West Los Angeles, California.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries including our operating partnership. Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on June 28, 2005 which did not have any meaningful operating activity until the consummation of our IPO and the related acquisition of our predecessor and certain other entities in October 2006. For a detailed descriptiondate of this transaction and our resulting organization, see footnote 1 “Organization and Basis of Presentation” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and footnote 1 “Organization and Description of Business” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 represent the consolidated financial statements of our predecessor. They include the accounts of DERA and the institutional funds, but do not include the accounts of the non-predecessor entities which were acquired at the time of our IPO. Because the 2007 and 2006 periods reflect significant differences in both the assets included and the ongoing economic impact resulting from our formation transactions, the results are in many cases not directly comparable and we urge readers to be even more than usually cautious in using them to predict future results.

Critical Accounting Policies


Our discussion and analysis of theour historical financial condition and results of operations of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and our predecessor are based upon their respectiveour consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events, for example with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings, improvements, equipment, and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties in connection with theour IPO.  These determinations, even though inherently subjective and subjectprone to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  While we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time they are made, some of our assumptions, estimates and judgments will inevitably prove to be incorrect.  As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our accruals, and those differences—positive or negative—could be material.  Some of our accruals are subject to adjustment, as we believe appropriate based on revised estimates and reconciliation to the actual results when available.


In addition, we identified certain critical accounting policies whichthat affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.2007.  We have not made any material changes to these policies as previously disclosed.

Historical Results of Operations


Overview


We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT and one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Our presence in Los Angeles and Honolulu is the result of a consistent and focused strategy of identifying submarkets that are supply constrained, have high barriers to entry and exhibit strong economic characteristics such as population and job growth and a diverse economic base. Los Angeles County represents the nation’s second largest office market with a total inventory of approximately 368 million rentable square feet. The Honolulu Central Business District has the largest concentration of institutional quality office space in Hawaii, totaling over 5.2 million rentable square feet.  In our office portfolio, we focus primarily on owning and acquiring a substantial share of top-tier office properties within submarkets located near high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities. In our multifamily portfolio, we focus primarily on owning and acquiring select properties at premier locations within these same submarkets.  Our properties are concentrated in nine premier Los Angeles County submarkets—Brentwood, Olympic Corridor, Century City, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Westwood, Sherman Oaks/Encino, Warner Center/Woodland Hills and Burbank—as well as in Honolulu, Hawaii.


Significant transactions that impact our results of operations since filing our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K include the acquisition of an office property and incremental borrowings of $150 million. In May 2007, we acquired a Class A office building of approximately 50,000 square feet located in our Century City submarket for a contract price of $32 million. The building is currently 100% leased through December 2019. This acquisition was funded with amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility. The revolver was subsequently repaid at the beginning of June 2007 with a portion of the proceeds from our incremental $150 million borrowings secured by our residential properties.Transactions

Acquisitions.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2007,first quarter of 2008, we repurchased approximately 6.4 million share equivalentscompleted the following transactions (see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in private transactions for a total consideration of approximately $154.4 million. We may make additional purchases from time to time in private transactions or in the public markets, but do not have any commitments to do so. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

As discussed under “Basis of Presentation” above, our results of operations for 2007 periods contain the consolidated results of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our operating partnership, while our results of operations for 2006 periods reflect those of our predecessor, which includes the accounts of DERA and the institutional funds. Our results of operations were significantly affected by our acquisition and repositioning activities in both 2006 and 2007. As a consequence, our results are not comparable from period to period due to the varying timing of acquisitions, including the eight properties acquired at the time of our IPO, and the impact of lease-up periods or increased vacancy resulting from repositioning activities. Generally, repositioning activities consist of a range of improvements to a property, involving a complete structural renovation of a building to significantly upgrade the character of the property, or merely targeted remodeling of common areas and tenant spaces to make the property more attractive to certain identified tenants. We often strategically purchase properties with large vacancies or expected near-term lease roll-over, identify them as repositioning properties and use our well developed knowledge of the property and submarket to determine the optimal use and tenant mix Each repositioning has resulted in a period of varying degrees of depressed rental revenue and occupancy levels for the affected property, which impacts our results and, accordingly, comparisons of our performance from period to period. The repositioning process generally occurs in stages over the course of months or even years.

Through our interest in Douglas Emmett Properties, LP (our operating partnership) and its subsidiaries, at September 30, 2007 our office portfolio consisted of 47 properties with approximately 11.6 million rentable square feet, including an approximate 50,000 square foot building that we acquired in May 2007 in our Century City submarket, and our multifamily portfolio consists of nine properties with a total of 2,868 units. As of September 30, 2007, our office portfolio was 95.7% leased, and our multifamily properties were 99.3% leased. Our office portfolio contributed approximately 84.9% of our annualized rent as of September 30, 2007, while our multifamily portfolio contributed the remaining 15.1%this Report):


·  
In March 2008, we acquired a 1.4 million square foot office portfolio consisting of six Class “A” buildings located in its core Los Angeles submarkets – Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks/Encino and Warner Center/Woodland Hills – for a contract price of approximately $610 million.

·  
In February 2008, we acquired a 78,298 square-foot office building located in Honolulu, Hawaii.  As part of the same transaction, we also acquired all of the assets of The Honolulu Club, a private membership athletic and social club, which is located in the building.  The aggregate contract price was approximately $18 million and the purchase was made in a consolidated joint venture with our local partner.

Financings. As of September 30, 2007, our Los Angeles County office and multifamily portfolio contributed approximately 90.9% of our annualized rent, and our Honolulu, Hawaii office and multifamily portfolio contributed the remaining 9.1%.

Our repositioning efforts impacted our operating results in both 2006 and 2007. Upon completion of our repositioning efforts, we expect that we will be able to stabilize occupancy at these properties at levels consistent with the rest of our portfolio. In our office portfolio, our repositioning properties include the results of Warner Center Towers, The Trillium and Bishop Place for all periods presented. In addition, Harbor Court was a repositioning property during 2006. Our office acquisition properties consist of four properties acquired at the time of our IPO in October 2006 (Brentwood Court, Brentwood Plaza, Brentwood San Vicente Medical and San Vicente Plaza) and one additional office property acquired in May 2007, as described above. In addition, in our multifamily portfolio, we acquired four properties during the periods being reported: Royal Kunia in March 2006 and Barrington/Kiowa, Barry and Kiowa at the time of our formation transactions in October 2006.  During the periods presented, we had no multifamily repositioning properties.

In the secondfirst quarter of 2007, based on2008, we completed the following transactions (see Note 7 to our most recent judgment of the ongoing reassessment process, we reduced the accrual for property tax expenses expected to result from the reassessment of propertiesconsolidated financial statements included in connection with our IPO. However, until that process is final, our accruals are only estimates of the actual outcome. We will continue to evaluate potential increases in property taxes and will adjust future accruals if we believe appropriate.

this Report):


·  We obtained a non-recourse $340 million term loan secured by four of our previously unencumbered office properties.  At March 31, 2008, $225 million was outstanding, and the remaining $115 million was funded on May 1, 2008.

·  We obtained a $380 million bridge loan from an affiliate of the seller in the March 2008 acquisitions described above.

·  The joint venture, in which we have a two-thirds interest, obtained an $18 million loan that financed the February 2008 acquisition described above.

Revenue

Office Revenue

Total Office Revenue.  Total office revenue consists of rent,rental revenue, tenant recoveries and parking and other income.  Total office portfolio revenue increased by $23.2$6.1 million, or 25.7%,5.5 %, to $113.4$117.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 compared to $90.3$110.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006March 31, 2007 for the reasons described below.


Rent. RentRental Revenue.  Rental revenue includes rental revenues from our office properties, percentage rent on the retail space contained within office properties, and lease termination income.  Total office portfolio rentrental revenue increased by $17.7$7.4 million, or 23.0%8.1%, to $94.6$99.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 compared to $76.9$91.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, primarilyMarch 31, 2007.  Rent increased across our existing office portfolio due to incremental rent from the four properties we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2006 and one property we acquired in the second quarter of 2007, as described above, and gains in occupancy at our four repositioning properties. Rent also increased for the remainder of our office portfolio that was not acquired or repositioned during the periods presented, primarily due to both gains in occupancy and increases in average rental rates for new and renewal leases signed since JulyApril 1, 2006. In addition, we recognized approximately $7.72007.  The increase is also due to $2.8  million of incremental rent related to the amortization of net below-market rents that resulted from the markproperties we acquired subsequent to market adjustments to our leases thatApril 1, 2007, including the seven additional properties we recordedacquired in connection with our IPO.the first quarter of 2008, as described above.


Tenant Recoveries.Recoveries.  Total office portfolio tenant recoveries increaseddecreased by $2.3$2.8 million, or 53.6%34.4%, to $6.7$5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 compared to $4.4$8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006March 31, 2007.  This is primarily due to a reduction in the accrual of property tax expenses based on our judgment of the ongoing reassessment process of properties in connection with the IPO.  This was partially offset by incremental recoveriesrecoverable operating expenses from the four properties we acquired subsequent to April 1, 2007, including the seven additional properties we acquired in the fourthfirst quarter of 2006 and one property acquired in the second quarter of 2007,2008, as described above. The overall increase also reflects increases in tenant recoveries at our repositioning properties due to increases in occupancy for the remainder of our office portfolio.


Parking and Other Income.  Total office portfolio parking and other income increased by $3.2$1.6 million, or 35.4%14.0%, to $12.1$12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 compared to $9.0$11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase wasMarch 31, 2007, primarily due to gainsincreases in occupancy in our repositioning properties and parking rate increasesrates implemented in July 2007 across the portfolio.portfolio, increases in ground rent income, and incremental revenues from the properties we acquired subsequent to April 1, 2007, including the seven additional properties we acquired in the first quarter of 2008, as described above.


Multifamily Revenue

Total Multifamily Revenue.Total multifamily revenue consists of rent, and parking income and other income.  Total multifamily portfolio revenue increased by $2.9$0.8 million, or 19.8%4.6%, to $17.5$17.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008, compared to $14.6$17.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006,March 31, 2007.  The increase is primarily due to the four multifamily property acquisitionsan increase in our formation transactions. In addition, a portion of the multifamilyoccupancy and an increase was duein rents charged to the rollover to market rents (since July 1, 2006) of several of ourboth new and existing tenants, including increases for select Santa Monica multifamily units.  These units which were under leases signed prior to a 1999 change in California lawLaw that allows landlords to raisereset rents to market rates when a tenant moves out ( “Pre-1999 Units”). The remainder of the increase was primarily due to increases in rents charged to other existing and new tenants. In addition, we recognized approximately $1.9 million of incremental rent related to the amortization of net below-market rents that resulted from the mark to market adjustments to our leases that we recorded in connection with our IPO.

Operating Expenses

Office Expense. Total portfolio office rental expense decreased by $1.7 million, or 4.9%, to $32.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $34.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, reflecting higher utilities costs in 2006 as a result of a warmer than average summer, partially offset by higher costs in 2007 as a result of additional properties in our portfolio.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $4.6 million to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease is primarily due to the accrual in 2006 of a one time discretionary cash bonus paid by our predecessor to its employees prior to the consummation of the IPO. This comparative decrease was partially offset by various costs incurred subsequent to our IPO associated with our status as a publicly-traded REIT, including legal and audit fees, directors and officers insurance and costs related to our compliance with section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $19.0 million, or 60.2%, to $50.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $31.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to depreciation of the higher cost basis for each existing property in our portfolio as a result of recording these real estate assets at market value in connection with our IPO and formation transactions, as well as incremental depreciation related to the nine office and multifamily properties we acquired as described above.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

Gain on Investments in Interest Rate Contracts, Net. We recognized a net loss of $54.0 million on investments in interest rate contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2006 due to changes in the fair market value of our in-place interest rate swap contracts during the applicable three-month period. In conjunction with our IPO, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps that effectively offset any future changes in the fair value of our predecessor’s existing interest rate contracts.out.  Therefore, no comparable gain or loss was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $13.0 million, or 45.6%, to $41.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $28.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our average outstanding debt related to $545 million borrowed in the fourth quarter of 2006 to fund a portion of the formation transactions related to our IPO and the $150 million of incremental debt borrowed during the second quarter of 2007 fund repurchases of equity and the purchase of our new property in Century City. The remaining increase in interest expense was primarily due to borrowings outstanding under our corporate revolver during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Deficit Distribution to Minority Partners, Net. Deficit distribution to minority partners, net was a $11.6 million net distribution for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The expense was primarily due to distributions to limited partners exceeding the net income attributable to the limited partners in three of the institutional funds included in our predecessor. This category was not applicable subsequent to our IPO and therefore no such amount was recorded in 2007.

Minority Interests.Minority interest income totaling $1.2 million was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to a $43.3 million expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 resulting in a net difference of $42.1 million. The amount in 2006 represents the limited partners’ ownership interest in our predecessor, including a preferred minority investor. The amount in 2007 represents the portion of results attributable to minority ownership interests in our operating partnership.

Rent also increased for the remainder of our office portfolio that was not acquired or repositioned during the periods presented, primarily due to gains in occupancy and increases in average rental rates for new and renewal leases signed since January 1, 2006.

The overall increase is also attributable to increases in tenant recoveries at our repositioning properties due to increases in occupancy and recoveries related to increases in operating expenses, as discussed below, for the remainder of our office portfolio.

Parking and Other Income. Total office portfolio parking and other income increased by $5.3 million, or 18.4%, to $34.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $29.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

In addition, a portion of the multifamily increase was due to the rollover to market rents of several of these rent-controlled units, or “Pre-1999 Units”, since JanuaryApril 1, 2006. The remainder of2007.

Depreciation and security costs,Amortization.  Depreciation and higher insurance costs in 2007 as a result of industry wide rate increases, partially offset by higher utilities costs in 2006.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007amortization expense increased $2.5$5.6 million, or 11.0%, to $16.0$56.7 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008, compared to $13.6$51.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2006.March 31, 2007.  The increase is primarily due to publicly-traded REIT related costs subsequent to our IPO, including legal and audit fees, directors and officers insurance and costs related to our compliance with section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley. The comparable increase in expense is partially offset by an accrual in 2006 for a one time discretionary cash bonus paid by our predecessor to its employees prior to the consummationfinalization of the IPO.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses


Gain on Investments in Interest Rate Contracts, Net. We recognized a net gain of $6.0 million on investments in interest rate contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 due to changes in the fair market value of our in-place interest rate swap contracts during the applicable three-month period. In conjunction with our IPO, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps that effectively offset any future changes in the fair value of our predecessor’s existing interest rate contracts. Therefore, no comparable gain or loss was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.Expense

The remaining increase in interest expense was primarily due to borrowings outstanding under our corporate revolver, and the additional $623 million borrowed during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Deficit Recoverycurrent quarter to fund the purchase of our new acquisition properties.  These increases were partially offset by the $1.2 million credit valuation adjustment resulting from Minority Partners, Net.

The amount in 2007 represents the portion of results attributable to minority ownership interests in our operating partnership.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Available Borrowings, Cash Balances and Capital Resources

In June 2007, we borrowed an additional $150 million of long term variable rate debt. This included an increase of $132 million in our existing loan facilities with Fannie Mae, plus additional loan facilities with Fannie Mae totaling $18 million. These loans are secured by our residential properties with maturity dates ranging from June 1, 2012 to June 1, 2017. Concurrent with the incremental borrowings, we entered into interest rate contracts to swap the underlying variable rates to fixed rates. These contracts are designated as hedges and result in a weighted average fixed interest rate of approximately 5.87%.


We had total indebtedness of $2.9$3.7 billion at September 30, 2007March 31, 2008, excluding a loan premium representing the mark-to-market adjustment on variable rate debt assumed from our predecessor.  Our debt increased $179$625 million from December 31, 20062007 as a result of $150the $623 million of incremental borrowings during the second quarter of 2007, including $29and approximately $2 million borrowedin additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  At September 30, 2007, all of our debt other than our revolving credit facility was effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swaps at a weighted average effective rate of 5.20%. See footnotePlease see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report for a summary of our outstanding debt.

Report.


We have a revolving credit facility with a group of banks led by Bank of America, N.A. and Banc of America Securities LLC. In September 2007, we increased the availability of our revolving credit facility by $100 million to $350 million, and further increased it by an additional $20 million in October 2007, bringing the total available revolver toLLC totaling $370 million.  This revolving credit facility also contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase availability to $500 million under specified circumstances. At September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, there was $311approximately $188 million available to us under this credit facility. This revolving credit facility expires in 2009 with two one-year extensions and an effective rate of either LIBOR plus 70 basis points or Federal Funds plus 95 basis points if the outstanding amount is less than $262.5 million and either LIBOR plus 80 basis points or Federal Funds plus 105 basis points if the amount outstanding is greater than $262.5 million.  We have used our revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, redevelopment and repositioning opportunities, fundingrepurchases of our stock and operating partnership units, tenant improvements and capital expenditures, funding recapitalizations and providing working capital.


We may finance some longer termhave historically financed our capital needs through short-term lines of credit and long-term secured mortgages at floating rates.  To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in short-term interest rates on our cash flow from operations, we generally enter into interest rate swap or interest rate cap agreements.  At March 31, 2008, 78% of our debt was effectively fixed at an overall rate of 5.20% by virtue of interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements in place at the end of the reporting period.  During the first quarter of 2008, we obtained a new $340 million loan facility, under which we borrowed $225 million on March 18, 2008.  The remaining $115 million will be funded on May 1, 2008.  We entered into corresponding interest rate hedges during the first quarter of 2008, which will fix the underlying interest rate of the total $340 million facility at 4.84%, and raise total fixed rate debt to 85% beginning May 1, 2008.  See Notes 7 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

At March 31, 2008, our total borrowings under secured loans, excluding the portion of consolidated debt attributable to our minority partner on the Honolulu Club joint venture, represented 51.8% of our total market capitalization of $7.1 billion.  Total market capitalization includes our consolidated debt and the value of common stock and operating partnership units each based on our common stock closing price at March 31, 2008 on the New York Stock Exchange of $22.06 per share.

The nature of our business, and the requirements imposed by REIT rules that we distribute a substantial majority of our income on an annual basis, will cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term.
- 22 - -

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through cash provided by operations and, if necessary, by drawing upon our senior secured revolving credit facility.  During the first quarter of 2008, we successfully secured $340 million of debt, of which $225 million was outstanding at March 31, 2008 and the remaining $115 million was funded on May 1, 2008.  However, recent economic events have led to tighter and more uncertain credit markets.  As a result, although we have been successful in financings during the current quarter, disruptions in the credit markets could impact the availability of credit in the future or could impact the rates of any borrowings we do obtain.  Currently, we have approximately $562 million of principal payments maturing by the end of 2009, consisting of the $380 million bridge financing borrowed in connection with our March 2008 acquisitions and $182 million under our revolving credit facility.  We anticipate repaying the bridge loan from refinancing proceeds, available cash and borrowings under our credit facility prior to maturity.  Our credit facility contains two renewal options of one year each available to us.  We anticipate that cash provided by operations and borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, redevelopment and repositioning of properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, and repayment of indebtedness at maturity.  We do not expect that we will have sufficient funds on hand to cover all of these long-term cash requirements.  We will seek to satisfy these needs through cash flow from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of debt and equity securities, including units in our operating partnership, property dispositions and joint venture transactions.  We have historically financed our operations, acquisitions and development, through the use of our revolving credit facility or other short-term acquisition lines of credit, which we subsequently repay with termlong-term secured floating rate mortgage debt.  To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in short-term interest rates on our cash flow from operations, we generally enter into interest rate swap or interest rate cap agreements at the time we enter into term borrowings.

At September 30, 2007, our total borrowings under secured loans represented 42.8% of our total market capitalization of $6.9 billion. Total market capitalization includes our consolidated debt, excluding the unamortized loan premium, and the value of common stock and operating partnership units each based on our common stock closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of $24.73 per share on September 28, 2007, the last trading day of the quarter.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we repurchased approximately 6.4 million share equivalents in private transactions for total consideration of approximately $154.4 million. We may make additional purchases from time to time in private transactions or in the public markets, but do not have any commitments to do so.

The nature of our business, and the requirement imposed by REIT rules that we distribute a substantial majority of our taxable income on an annual basis, will cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. During 2007, we have paid three quarterly dividends of $0.175 per share, which equals an annual rate of $0.70 per share. In addition, on January 15, 2007 we paid a dividend of $0.12 per share, which represented a prorated quarterly dividend for the period from October 31, 2006 to December 31, 2006.

We expect that our liquidity needs will consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for distributions to our stockholders, acquisitions, redevelopment and repositioning of properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, any equity repurchases and repayment of indebtedness at maturity. We expect to meet our operating liquidity requirements and distributions to our stockholders through cash provided by operations and, if necessary, by drawing upon our revolving credit facility. We anticipate that cash provided by operations and borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.

We expect to satisfy our long term liquidity requirements through cash flow from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of debt and equity securities, including units in our operating partnership, property dispositions and joint venture transactions.


We are also exploring raising capital for acquisitions through an institutional fund, under which a general partnercontrolled by an entity affiliated with us, which would receive certain fees as well as a carried interest in any distributions after the participating institutional investors receive a return of their invested capital and a preferred return.  If we close such a fund, it is likely that it would be our exclusive vehicle for most (and perhaps all) cash acquisitions during the investment period of the fund.  The exact terms of any such fund would be based on negotiations and market conditions.  Any securities offered in such a fund will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and could not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under that act or an applicable exemption from those registration requirements.  Nothing in the foregoing disclosure constitutes an offer to sell any securities in such a fund, nor a solicitation of an offer to purchase any such securities.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $16.2 million to $124.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $108.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase reflects higher net cash flow from existing properties that generated higher quarter over quarter results, as described in results of operations above, as well as incremental net cash flow from acquired properties. This increase was partially offset by higher payments of financing costs in 2007 as a result of a greater average outstanding debt balance.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $80.7 million to $72.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $153.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a lower level of spending on property acquisitions in


Contractual Obligations

Cash flow related to financing activities decreased from an inflow of $56.3 million in the first nine months of 2006 to an outflow of $54.2 million for the first nine months of 2007. During 2007, the net cash outflow represents the payment of dividends and distributions, partially offset by borrowings in excess of equity repurchases.

Contractual Obligations

During the third quarter of 2007,2008, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in the information regarding specified contractual obligations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $11.5 million to $54.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $42.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  The increase reflects higher net cash flow from existing properties that generated improved results, as well as incremental cash flow from acquired properties.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $613.6 million to $627.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  The increase was primarily due to a higher level of spending on property acquisitions in the 2008 period compared to the 2007 period.  See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Cash flow related to financing activities increased from an outflow of $29.8 million in the first three months of 2007 to an inflow of $571.7 million in the first three months of 2008.   The net cash inflow represents borrowings in excess of equity repurchases and payments of dividends and distributions.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

2007.



Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act)  that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, the end of the period covered by this report,Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including theour Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness in design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report.Report.  Based on the foregoing, theour Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective atin ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the reasonable assurance level.

Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no significant changes that occurred during the quarter covered by this reportReport in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referenced above that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During 2006 and the first nine months of 2007, we made many changes to our accounting and finance environment in order to meet our new obligations as a public company. Although we had been preparing audited financial statements for many years, they did not need to comply with all of the requirements imposed on public companies. For example, our predecessor historically prepared financial statements for its funds on a “fair value” basis, which differs from the “historical cost” basis on which we now report. These changes and our new obligations as a public company required an expansion of our finance and accounting staff as well as changes in our disclosure controls and procedures during 2006 and the first nine months of 2007.

We anticipate further changes to our accounting and finance environment during the remainder of 2007 including the expansion of our accounting and finance staff. In particular, we were not required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to 2006, but will have to do so by the end of 2007. This will require us to document our internal controls over financial reporting. We also intend to take steps to make our internal controls and procedures more efficient through system improvements and automation. For example, because our current accounting software was better adapted to our predecessor’s needs, we intend to upgrade to a new accounting software package which is more commonly used by public REITs. As a result, during 2007 we will continue to make refinements to our disclosure controls and procedures as well as our internal controls over financial reporting.
