COGDELL SPENCER INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.  
Business
 
Cogdell Spencer Inc., incorporated in Maryland in 2005, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a fully-integrated, self-administered, and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in specialty office buildings for the medical profession, including medical offices and ambulatory surgery and diagnostic centers.  The Company focuses on the ownership, delivery, acquisition, and management of strategically located medical office buildings and other healthcare related facilities in the United States of America.  The Company has been built around understanding and addressing the full range of specialized real estate needs of the healthcare industry.  The Company operates its business through Cogdell Spencer LP, its operating partnership subsidiary (the “Operating Partnership”), and its subsidiaries.  The Company has two segments: (1) Property Operations and (2) Design-Build and Development.  Property Operations owns and manages properties and manages properties for third parties.  Design-Build and Development provides strategic planning, design, construction, development, and project management services for properties owned by the Company and for third parties.
 
2.  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and represent the assets and liabilities and operating results of the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements also include any partnerships for which the Company or its subsidiaries is the general partner or the managing member and the rights of the limited partners do not overcome the presumption of control by the general partner or managing member. The Company reviews its interests in entities to determine if the entity’s assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and results of activities should be included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the GAAP. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Interim Financial Statements
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal years of 2010 or 2009 or any other future period.  These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.  The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and should be read in conjunction with these interim financial statements.
 
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Significant estimates and assumptions are used by management in determining the percentage of completion revenue, construction contingency and loss provisions, useful lives of real estate properties and improvements, the initial valuations and underlying allocations of purchase price in connection with business and real estate property acquisitions, and projected cash flow and fair value estimates used for impairment testing.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
6

Concentrations and Credit Risk
 
The Company maintains its cash in commercial banks.  Balances on deposit are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to specific limits.  Balances on deposit in excess of FDIC limits are uninsured.  At March 31, 2010, the Company had bank cash balances of $19.0 million in excess of FDIC insured limits.
 
Two customers accounted for more than 10% of tenant and accounts receivable at March 31, 2010 and one customer accounted for more than 10% of tenant and accounts receivable at March 31, 2009.
 
Two customers accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and one customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
Fair Value
 
        The Company defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
 
The Company utilizes the GAAP fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access.  Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.  In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
 
To obtain fair values, observable market prices are used if available.  In some instances, observable market prices are not readily available for certain financial instruments and fair value is determined using present value or other techniques appropriate for a particular financial instrument.  These techniques involve some degree of judgment and as a result are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange.  The use of different assumptions or estimation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
 
The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.  The Company considers the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant and accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other liabilities to approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
 
The Company has estimated the fair value of debt utilizing present value techniques taking into consideration current market conditions.  At March 31, 2010, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of debt was $416.2 million and $407.9 million, respectively.  The Harbison Medical Office Building mortgage included in Other liabilities – held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q has a $2.1 million carrying value and $2.2 million estimated fair value as of March 31, 2010.
 
       See Note 9 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q regarding the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.
 
Reclassification
 
During 2009, the Company reclassified the Harbison Medical Office Building, a wholly-owned real estate property, as discontinued operations and is currently actively marketing the property for sale.  The Company expects to sell this property in 2010.  Accordingly, the Company has reclassified the assets and liabilities related to this discontinued operations real estate property to Other assets – held for sale and Other liabilities – held for sale, respectively, as well as the results of operations to Loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.  The asset is part of the Property Operations segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard, codified in ASC 810, Consolidation, which revises the consolidation guidance for variable-interest entities (“VIE”).  The revisions include (1) no longer exempting qualifying special-purpose entities from the scope of the guidance, (2) requiring the continuous reconsideration for determining whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of another entity, (3) ignoring kick-out rights unless the rights are held by a single enterprise and (4) requiring consolidation if an entity has power and receives benefits or absorbs losses that are potentially significant to the VIE and not requiring consolidation if power is shared amongst unrelated parties.  The revisions also include the enhancement of disclosure requirements.  The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations, or changes in equity on March 31, 2010.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard, codified in ASC 810, Consolidation, which provides additional clarification regarding noncontrolling interest decrease-in-ownership provisions and expands the disclosures required upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations, or changes in equity on March 31, 2010.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard, codified in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements.  The standard, with the exception of the additional Level 3 disclosures, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009.  The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations, or changes in equity on March 31, 2010.  Requirements related to additional Level 3 disclosures will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company is still evaluating the effect of this standard on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations, or changes in equity.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued additional guidance, codified in ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which includes, among other things, an exemption for SEC filers from the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  The disclosure has been removed from Note 2.

Investments in Real Estate Partnerships
 
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had an ownership interest in eight limited liability companies or limited partnerships.
 
The following is a description of the unconsolidated entities:
 
·  
Cogdell Spencer Medical Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, founded in 2008, has  no assets or liabilities, and is 20.0% owned by the Company;
 
·  
BSB Health/MOB Limited Partnership No. 2, a Delaware limited partnership, founded in 2002, owns nine medical office buildings, and is 2.0% owned by the Company;
 
·  
Shannon Health/MOB Limited Partnership No. 1, a Delaware limited partnership, founded in 2001, owns ten medical office buildings, and is 2.0% owned by the Company; and
 
·  
McLeod Medical Partners, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company, founded in 1982, owns three medical office buildings, and is 1.1% owned by the Company.
 
The following is a description of the consolidated entities:
 
·  
Genesis Property Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, founded in 2007, owns one medical office building, and is 40.0% owned by the Company;
 
·  
Cogdell Health Campus MOB, LP, a Pennsylvania limited partnership, founded in 2006, owns one medical office building, and is 80.9% owned by the Company;
 
·  
Mebane Medical Investors, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, founded in 2006, owns one medical office building, and is 35.1% owned by the Company; and
 
·  
Rocky Mount MOB, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, founded in 2002, owns one medical office building, and is 34.5% owned by the Company.
 
8

The Company is the general partner or managing member of these real estate partnerships and manages the properties owned by these entities.  The Company may receive design/build revenue, development fees, property management fees, leasing fees, and expense reimbursements from these real estate partnerships.  For consolidated entities, these revenues and fees are eliminated in consolidation.
 
The consolidated entities are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements because the limited partners or non-managing members do not have sufficient participation rights in the partnerships to overcome the presumption of control by the Company as the managing member or general partner.  The limited partners or non-managing members have certain protective rights such as the ability to prevent the sale of building, the dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company, or the incurrence of additional indebtedness, in each case subject to certain exceptions.
 
The Company has a 2.0% ownership in Shannon Health/MOB Limited Partnership No. 1 and a 2.0% ownership in BSB Health/MOB Limited Partnership No. 2. The partnership agreements and tenant leases of the limited partners are designed to give preferential treatment to the limited partners as to the operating cash flows from the partnerships. The Company, as the general partner, does not generally participate in the operating cash flows from these entities other than to receive property management fees. The limited partners can remove the Company as the property manager and as the general partner. Due to the structures of the partnership agreements and tenant lease agreements, the Company reports the properties owned by these two joint ventures as fee managed properties owned by third parties.
 
The Company’s unconsolidated entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting based on the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence as the entity’s managing member or general partner. The following is a summary of financial information for the limited liability companies and limited partnerships for the periods indicated.  The summary of financial information set forth below reflects the financial position and operations of the unconsolidated real estate partnerships in their entirety, not just the Company’s interest in the entities (in thousands):

Business Segments
 
The Company has two identified reportable segments: (1) Property Operations and (2) Design-Build and Development.  The Company defines business segments by their distinct customer base and service provided.  Each segment operates under a separate management group and produces discrete financial information, which is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make resource allocation decisions and assess performance.  Inter-segment sales and transfers are accounted for as if the sales and transfers were made to third parties, which involve applying a negotiated fee onto the costs of the services performed.  All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated during the consolidation process.
 
The Company’s management evaluates the operating performance of its operating segments based on funds from operations (“FFO”) and funds from operations modified (“FFOM”).  FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company adjusts the NAREIT definition to add back noncontrolling interests in real estate partnerships before real estate related depreciation and amortization. FFOM adds back to FFO non-cash amortization of non-real estate related intangible assets associated with purchase accounting.  The Company considers FFO and FFOM important supplemental measures of the Company’s operational performance.  The Company believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. The Company believes that FFOM allows securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating current period results to results prior to the Erdman transaction.  FFO and FFOM are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and FFOM exclude depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income.  The Company’s methodology may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO and FFOM do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
The Company reviews the value of goodwill and intangible assets on an annual basis and when circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist.  An interim review of the Design-Build and Development’s intangible assets was performed on March 31, 2009, due to a decline in the Company’s stock price, a decline in the cash flow multiples for comparable public engineering and construction companies, and changes in the cash flow projections for the Design-Build and Development business segment resulting from a decline in backlog and delays and cancellations of client building projects.  During the remainder of 2009, the Company determined that no interim review was necessary.
 
As a result of the March 31, 2009 review, the Company recorded, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of ($120.9 million) and the Company recognized a non-cash income tax benefit of $19.2 million, resulting in an after-tax impairment charge of ($101.7 million).  The Company performed an annual review of goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2009, and concluded there was no impairment of goodwill.  The Company also performed an annual review for impairment for other non-amortizing intangible assets and concluded no impairment existed.   The Company determined that there were no impairment indicators and therefore an interim review was not necessary during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
The Company performed an annual review of goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2009, and concluded there was no further impairment of goodwill.  The Company also performed an annual review for impairment for other non-amortizing intangible assets and concluded no impairment existed.   The Company determined that an interim review was not necessary during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
The goodwill impairment review at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2009 involved a two-step process.  The first step was a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value.  Fair value was estimated by using two approaches, an income approach and a market approach.  Each approach was weighted 50% in the Company’s analysis.  The income approach uses the reporting unit’s projected operating results and discounted cash flows using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which was 14.5% for the March 31, 2009 review and 14.0% for the December 31, 2009 review.  The cash flow projections use estimates of economic and market information over the projection period, including growth rates in revenues and costs and estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures.  Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures, and changes in future working capital requirements.  The market approach estimates fair value by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit's operating performance.  The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and profitability characteristics.  Additionally, the Company reconciled the total of the estimated fair values of all its reporting units to its market capitalization to determine if the sum of the individual fair values is reasonable compared to the external market indicators.    
 
13

If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, as it was for March 31, 2009, then an indication of impairment may exist and a second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment.  The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill calculated in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, then an impairment charge for the difference would be recorded.
 
For non-amortizing intangible assets, the Company estimates fair value by applying an estimated market royalty rate, 2.0% for the March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2009 reviews, to projected revenues and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which was 14.5% for the March 31, 2009 review and 14.0% for the December 31, 2009 review.
 
The following table presents information about the Company’s goodwill and certain intangible assets measured at fair value as of March 31, 2009, the date at which the Company recorded an after-tax, non-cash impairment charge of $120.9 million (in thousands):

Mortgage Notes Payable and Borrowing Agreements
 
Scheduled Maturities
 
The Company’s mortgages are collateralized by property and principal and interest payments are generally made monthly.  Scheduled maturities of mortgages, notes payable under the $150.0 million secured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”), and the $50.0 million senior secured term facility (“Term Loan”) as of March 31, 2010, are as follows (in thousands):

The scheduled maturity related to the mortgage note payable on the Harbison Medical Office Building included in discontinued operations is not included above. The mortgage note payable requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $20,000 until February 2011, at which time a balloon payment of approximately $2.1 million is due.
 
By the end of the second quarter 2010, unless new revenue generating design-build construction projects are added by the Company, the number of revenue generating design-build construction projects will decline further as existing projects are completed.  Although the Company is actively pursuing a number of new project opportunities and is starting to see some pick-up in requests for proposals and in client advance planning opportunities, the potential delays in recognizing revenue for projects may require the Company to pay down a portion of the principal of the Term Loan during 2010 to reduce the outstanding balance of the Term Loan and ensure future compliance with the covenants under this indebtedness.  Management believes the Company has adequate resources to make any necessary pay down at any future reporting period.
 
At March 31, 2010, the Company believes it was in compliance with all its loan covenants.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
 
9.  
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to reduce exposure to variable interest rates associated with certain mortgage notes payable, the Term Loan, and the Credit Facility.  These agreements involve an exchange of fixed and floating interest payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amount (the “notional amount”). The interest rate swap agreements are reported at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet within “Other assets” or “Other liabilities” and changes in the fair value, net of tax where applicable, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) exclusive of ineffectiveness amounts.  The following table summarizes the terms of the agreements and their fair values at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (dollars in thousands):
