PART I
 
ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
 
General Description of Business
 
American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (“ASR” or, collectively, as a consolidated entity with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation established on August 8, 2000. The Company is a full-service real estate corporation which owns, manages and operates income-producing properties. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held through an operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in which the Company, as of December 31, 2006, held the sole general partner interest of .98% and a limited partnership interest totaling 85.75%. As of December 31, 2006, through its majority-owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, the Company owned and operated 26 properties, which consisted of 22 office buildings, three industrial properties, and one shopping center. The 26 properties are located in six states.
 
During 2006, the Company purchased six office properties located in Houston, Texas and one office property located in Victoria, Texas. Three properties were sold during 2006, which consisted of an industrial property and an office building located in San Diego, California and an office building located in Palatine, Illinois. During 2005, the Company sold three properties, which consisted of a vacant single tenant industrial property located in San Diego, California, a shopping center located in Columbia, South Carolina and an apartment complex located in Hazelwood, Missouri. No properties were acquired in 2005. During 2004, the Company acquired two office buildings in Houston, Texas and sold three properties, which consisted of an office building located in Columbia, Missouri, an industrial property located in San Antonio, Texas and a parcel of undeveloped land located in Phoenix, Arizona. The property acquisitions are part of the Company’s strategy to acquire multi-tenant office and industrial properties located in its core markets of Texas, California and Arizona.
 
The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company generally has the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of the Operating Partnership under its partnership agreement. The Company’s interest as a limited partner in the Operating Partnership entitles it to share in any cash distributions from, and in profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership. If the Company receives any distributions from the Operating Partnership, it intends, in turn, if permitted by law, to pay dividends to its common stockholders so that the amount of dividends paid on each share of common stock equals four times the amount of distributions paid on each limited partnership unit in the Operating Partnership (“OP Unit”). The intended dividend of four times the distribution from each limited partnership unit is a result of the Company’s one-for-four reverse stock split in 2004. Most of the properties are owned by the Operating Partnership through subsidiary limited partnerships or limited liability companies.
 
Holders of the OP Units have the option to redeem their units and to receive, at the option of the Company, in exchange for each four OP Units (i) one share of Common Stock of the Company, or (ii) cash equal to the market value of one share of Common Stock of the Company at the date of conversion, but no fractional shares will be issued.
 
The Board of Directors has concluded that it is not in the best interests of the Company to elect to be treated as a real estate investment trust (or REIT), as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In May 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, which removed a provision restricting the ability of stockholders to acquire shares in excess of certain ownership limitations. This provision had been included in the Articles to preserve the Company’s ability to elect to be taxed as a REIT in the future, since one of the requirements of REIT status is that not more than 50% of a REIT’s equity securities may be held by 5 or fewer stockholders.
 
The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements for normal property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses from cash generated by operations. In addition, the Company expects to incur capital costs related to leasing space and making improvements to properties provided the estimated leasing of space is completed. The Company anticipates meeting these obligations with cash currently held, the use of funds held in escrow by lenders, and proceeds from sales and refinancing activities. Except for scheduled monthly principal payments, the Company has no mortgage debt due to mature in 2007.

Business Objectives and Strategy
 
The Company’s fundamental business objective is to maximize stockholder value. The Company intends to achieve its business objective through opportunistic investments with effective asset management.
 
The Company’s future growth will be focused on multi-tenant suburban office and industrial properties in the high growth markets of Texas, Arizona and California. Properties in non-core markets are expected to be sold and the net proceeds redeployed into funding future acquisitions in core markets and to pay for capital expenditures and reduce debt.
 
Opportunities to Acquire Undervalued and Undermanaged Properties.  The Company believes it is positioned to invest in properties, either individually or in portfolios, at attractive prices, often at costs lower than replacement cost. This will be accomplished using the Company’s knowledge of its core geographical markets and core property types, as well as its established capability to identify, and negotiate with, highly-motivated sellers, which include individuals as well as such institutions as banks, insurance companies and pension funds. The Company will not set a maximum target purchase price but rather it will tailor its acquisitions to under performing properties, which the Company believes are attractively priced due to relative physical or operating deficiencies. The Company believes that its real estate expertise will allow it to, when necessary, reposition, renovate or redevelop these properties to make them competitive in their local markets.
 
Competitive Advantages.  The Company believes it has competitive advantages that will enable it to be selective with respect to real estate investment opportunities and allow it to successfully pursue its growth strategy. Based on its management’s experience, the Company expects that its presence in geographically diverse markets will increase its exposure to opportunities for attractive acquisitions of various types of properties throughout its operating region and provide it with competitive advantages which enhance its ability to do so, including:
 
  •  strong local market expertise;
 
  •  long-standing relationships with tenants, real estate brokers, institutions and other owners of real estate in each local market;
 
  •  fully integrated real estate operations which allow quick response to acquisition opportunities;
 
  •  access to capital markets at competitive rates as a public company;
 
  •  ability to acquire properties in exchange for ASR shares or OP Units which may make it a more attractive purchaser when compared to purchasers who are not similarly structured or are unable to make similar use of equity to purchase properties.
 
Property Management Strategies.  The Company has procedures and expertise which permit it to manage effectively a variety of types of properties throughout the United States. The decentralized structure with strong local management enables it to operate efficiently. In seeking to maximize revenues, minimize costs and increase the value of the properties, the Company follows aggressive property management policies. Among the property management techniques emphasized are regular and comprehensive maintenance programs, regular and comprehensive financial analyses, the use of a master property and casualty insurance program, aggressive restructuring or conversion of tenant spaces and frequent appearances before property tax assessors, planning commissions and other local governmental bodies. The Company believes that its management of the properties will be a substantial factor in its ability to realize its objectives of maximizing earnings.
 
Managing and Monitoring Investments.  The Company has actively managed the property portfolio and administered its investments. The Company will monitor issues including the financial advantages of property sales, minimization of real estate taxes, and insurance costs. Also, the Company will actively analyze diversification, review tenant financial statements to deal with potential problems quickly and will restructure investments in the case of underperforming and non-performing properties.
 
Competition
 
The Company competes with other entities both to locate suitable properties for acquisition and to locate purchasers for its properties. While the markets in which it competes are highly fragmented with no dominant

Table of Contents

competitors, the Company faces substantial competition in both its leasing and property acquisition activities. There are numerous other similar types of properties located in close proximity to each of its properties. The amount of leasable space available in any market could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to rent space and on the rents charged. Competition for acquisition of existing properties from institutional investors and publicly traded REITs has increased substantially in the past several years. In many of the Company’s markets, institutional investors and owners and developers of properties compete vigorously for the acquisition, development and leasing of space. Many of these competitors have greater resources and more experience than the Company.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2006, ASR employed 34 individuals, including on-site property management and maintenance personnel.
 
Environmental Matters
 
Various federal, state and local laws and regulations subject property owners and operators to liability for reporting, investigating, remediating, and monitoring of regulated hazardous substances released on or from a property. These laws and regulations often impose strict liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or actually caused, the release. The presence of, or the failure to properly report, investigate, remediate, or monitor hazardous substances could adversely affect the financial condition of the Company or the ability of the Company to operate the properties. In addition, these factors could hinder the Company’s ability to borrow against the properties. The presence of hazardous substances on a property also could result in personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs. In addition, there are federal, state and local laws and regulations which impose requirements on the storage, use, management and disposal of regulated hazardous materials or substances. The failure to comply with those requirements could result in the imposition of liability, including penalties or fines, on the owner or operator of the properties. Future laws or regulations could also impose unanticipated material environmental liabilities on the Company in connection with any of the properties.
 
The Company is aware that two of its properties may contain hazardous substances above reportable levels. One of the properties is located in the State of Indiana. The Company retained an environmental expert that developed a clean up and monitoring plan that has been approved by the State of Indiana. In 2005, the Company accrued $75,000 for the future environmental cleanup and monitoring. The other property is located in the State of South Carolina and is included in a special fund sponsored by the state. The timing of the cleanup is dependent on the state’s priorities and state funds will cover the costs for the cleanup. As such, no liability has been accrued on the Company’s books for this property.
 
The Company may decide to acquire a property with known or suspected environmental contamination after it evaluates that business risk, the potential costs of investigation or remediation, and the potential costs to cure identified non-compliances with environmental laws or regulations. In connection with its acquisition of properties, the Company may seek to have the seller indemnify it against environmental conditions or non-compliances existing as of the date of purchase, and under appropriate circumstances, it may obtain environmental insurance. In some instances, the Company may become the assignee of or successor to the seller’s indemnification rights arising from the seller’s acquisition agreement for the property. Additionally, the Company may try to structure its leases for the property to require the tenant to assume all or some of the responsibility for environmental compliance and remediation, and to provide that material non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations will be deemed a default under the lease. However, there can be no assurances that, despite these efforts, liability will not be imposed on the Company under applicable federal, state, or local environmental laws or regulations relating to the properties.
 
Insurance
 
The Company currently carries comprehensive liability, fire, terrorism, extended coverage and rental loss insurance covering all of its properties, with policy specifications and insured limits which the Company believes are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances. There are, however, types of losses that are not generally insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically feasible to insure. In addition, costs to carry all of the types of insurance above may not always be economically feasible.

Table of Contents

 
Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, the Company could lose its capital invested in the property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from the property and, in the case of debt which is with recourse to the Company, would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. Any such loss would adversely affect the Company. Moreover, the Company will generally be liable for any unsatisfied obligations other than non-recourse obligations. The Company believes that its properties are adequately insured. No assurance can be given that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future.
 
Capital Expenditures
 
Capital expenditure requirements include both normal recurring capital expenditures, and tenant improvements and lease commissions relating to the leasing of space to new or renewing tenants. The Company has a history of acquiring properties which required renovation, repositioning or management changes to improve their performance and to enable them to compete effectively. The Company plans to continue to invest in these types of properties. These properties may require major capital expenditures or significant tenant improvements in order to maximize their cash flows.
 
Acquisitions
 
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company purchased three office properties: two located in Houston, Texas and one located in Victoria, Texas. The three properties have an aggregate rentable square footage of 192,747 square feet. Acquisition costs consisted of the assumption of debt, seller financing and use of proceeds from tax-deferred exchanges.
 
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company purchased four office properties located in Houston, Texas. The four properties have an aggregate rentable square footage of 381,605 square feet. Acquisition costs consisted of a new mortgage loan, the assumption of debt, seller financing and use of proceeds from tax-deferred exchanges.
 
Dispositions
 
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company sold three properties for an aggregate sales price of $46,508,000. Sorrento II, an 88,073 square foot industrial property located in San Diego, California was sold January 6, 2006. Mira Mesa, an 88,295 square foot office property located in San Diego, California was sold January 13, 2006. Countryside, an 82,873 square foot office property located in Palatine, Illinois was sold March 14, 2006. Proceeds of approximately $11,300,000 (net of debt repayments and sales costs) were received as a result of the transactions, of which approximately $6,300,000 was used to assist the funding of acquisitions in tax-deferred exchanges. The Company recorded a gain on sale of $22,349,000 in connection with the transactions, which are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
 
The Company’s high level of debt increases its risk of default and may have a negative impact on the results of operations. This could adversely affect the Company’s ability to make distributions and the market price of its Common Stock.
 
The Company’s high level of debt increases the Company’s risk of default on its obligations and adversely affects the Company’s funds from operations and its ability to make distributions to its stockholders. Further, due to the high level of debt, the Company may be restricted in its ability to refinance some or all of its indebtedness and the terms of any new or refinanced debt may not be as favorable as those of some of its existing indebtedness. The Company has a higher ratio of indebtedness to assets than many other real estate companies. This could adversely affect the market price for the Company’s Common Stock.
 
The Company may need to refinance mortgage loans and sell properties to meet its obligations.
 
The Company expects to require substantial cash to meet its operating requirements, including budgeted capital expenditures if its leasing projections are met. To meet these obligations, the Company may be required to


6


Table of Contents

refinance mortgage indebtedness and/or sell certain assets to provide cash. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in refinancing the mortgage indebtedness and that it will have sufficient cash to meet its obligations. In addition, to fulfill the Company’s growth strategy, the Company may be required to raise additional cash through debt or equity financing.
 
There are risks inherent in the Company’s acquisition and development strategy. The Company may not make profitable investments.
 
The Company plans to pursue its growth strategy through the acquisition and development of additional properties. The Company does not know that this strategy will succeed. The Company may have difficulty finding new properties, negotiating with new or existing tenants or securing acceptable financing. In addition, investing in additional properties is subject to many risks. Also, the Company’s acquisition strategy of investing in under-valued assets subjects the Company to increased risks. The Company may not succeed in turning around these properties. The Company may not make a profit on these investments.
 
The Company has a history of losses. The Company cannot assure the stockholders that it will become profitable in the future.
 
The Company has incurred losses from continuing operations in each of the three years ended December 31, 2006. The Company cannot assure the stockholders that it will not continue to have losses after depreciation and amortization under generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Real property investments entail risk. The Company’s properties may not be profitable, may not result in distributions and/or may depreciate.
 
Properties acquired by the Company:  (i) may not operate at a profit; (ii) may not perform to the Company’s expectations; (iii) may not appreciate in value; (iv) may depreciate in value; (v) may not ever be sold at a profit; and/or (vi) may not result in dividends. The marketability and value of any properties will depend upon many factors beyond the Company’s control, including but not limited to general economic conditions, zoning laws, tax laws and the availability of financing.
 
The Company may not be able to enter into favorable leases upon the expiration of current leases and on current vacant space.
 
Over the next three years, current leases, which constitute approximately 61% of the square footage of the Company’s total rentable square footage of properties owned, will expire. In addition, 10% of the Company’s total rentable square footage was vacant as of December 31, 2006. The Company may be unable to enter into leases for all or a portion of this space. If the Company enters into leases, the Company may not do so at comparable lease rates, without incurring additional expenses. If the Company is unsuccessful in leasing the space, or cannot re-lease the space at current rental rates or higher rental rates, it could reduce the distributions to shareholders and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.
 
The Company may invest in joint ventures, which adds another layer of risk to its business.
 
The Company may acquire properties through joint ventures, which could subject the Company to certain risks that may not otherwise be present if investments were made directly by the Company. These risks include: (i) the potential that the Company’s joint venture partner may not perform; (ii) the joint venture partner may have economic or business interests or goals which are inconsistent with or adverse to those of the Company; (iii) the joint venture partner may take actions contrary to the requests or instructions of the Company or contrary to the Company’s objectives or policies; and (iv) the joint venturers may not be able to agree on matters relating to the property they jointly own.
 
The Company also may participate with other investors, including possibly investment programs or other entities affiliated with management, in investments as tenants-in-common or in some other joint ownership or venture. The risks of such joint ownership may be similar to those mentioned above for joint ventures and, in the


7


Table of Contents

case of a tenancy-in-common, each co-tenant normally has the right, if an unresolvable dispute arises, to seek partition of the property, which partition might decrease the value of each portion of the divided property.
 
The Company could incur unforeseen environmental liabilities.
 
Various federal, state and local laws and regulations subject property owners and operators to liability for reporting, investigating, remediating, and monitoring regulated hazardous substances released on or from a property. These laws and regulations often impose strict liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or actually caused, the release. The presence of, or the failure to properly report, investigate, remediate, or monitor hazardous substances could adversely affect the financial condition of the Company or the ability of the Company to operate the properties. In addition, these factors could hinder the Company’s ability to borrow against the properties. The presence of hazardous substances on a property also could result in personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs. In addition, there are federal, state and local laws and regulations which impose requirements on the storage, use, management and disposal of regulated hazardous materials or substances. The failure to comply with those requirements could result in the imposition of liability, including penalties or fines, on the owner or operator of the properties. Future laws or regulations could also impose unanticipated material environmental liabilities on the Company in connection with any of the properties. The costs of complying with these environmental laws and regulations for the Company’s properties could adversely affect the Company’s operating costs and, if contamination is present, the value of those properties.
 
The Company faces intense competition in all of its markets.
 
Numerous properties compete with the Company’s properties in attracting tenants to lease space. Additional properties may be built in the markets in which the Company’s properties are located. The number and quality of competitive properties in a particular area will have a material effect on the Company’s ability to lease space at existing properties or at newly acquired properties and on the rents charged. Some of these competing properties may be newer or better located than the Company’s properties. There are a significant number of buyers of properties, including institutional investors and publicly traded REITs. Many of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources and experience than the Company. This has resulted in increased competition in acquiring attractive properties. This competition can adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire properties and increase its distributions.

Table of Contents

 
The industrial properties have leases whose remaining terms range from less than one to six years. Most of the leases are industrial gross leases whereby the tenant pays as additional rent its pro rata share of common area maintenance and repair costs and its share of the increase in taxes and insurance over a base amount. Certain of these leases call for fixed or consumer-price-index-based rent increases. Some of the leases are triple net leases whereby the tenants are required to pay their pro rata share of the properties’ operating costs, common area maintenance, property taxes, insurance and non-structural repairs.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (“ASR” or, collectively, as a consolidated entity with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation established on August 8, 2000. The Company is a full-service real estate corporation which owns, manages and operates income-producing properties. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held through an operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in which the Company, as of December 31, 2006, held the sole general partner interest of .98% and a limited partnership interest totaling 85.75%. As of December 31, 2006, through its majority-owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, the Company owned and operated 26 properties, which consisted of 22 office buildings, three industrial properties, and one shopping center. The 26 properties are located in six states.
 
During 2006, the Company purchased six office properties located in Houston, Texas and one office property located in Victoria, Texas. Three properties were sold during 2006, which consisted of an industrial property located in San Diego, California, an office building located in San Diego, California and an office building located in Palatine, Illinois. During 2005, the Company sold three properties, which consisted of a vacant single tenant industrial property located in San Diego, California, a shopping center located in Columbia, South Carolina and an apartment complex located in Hazelwood, Missouri. No properties were acquired in 2005. During 2004, the Company acquired two office buildings in Houston, Texas and sold three properties, which consisted of an office building located in Columbia, Missouri, an industrial property located in San Antonio, Texas and a parcel of undeveloped land located in Phoenix, Arizona. The property acquisitions are part of the Company’s strategy to acquire multi-tenant office and industrial properties located in its core markets of Texas, California and Arizona.
 
The properties held for investment by the Company were 90% occupied at December 31, 2006 compared to 88% at December 31, 2005. The Company continues to aggressively pursue prospective tenants to increase its occupancy, which if successful, should have the effect of improving operational results.
 
In the accompanying financial statements, the results of operations of properties sold during 2004, 2005 and 2006 are shown in the section “Discontinued operations”. The three properties sold during the first quarter of 2006 are classified as “Real estate held for sale” on the December 31, 2005 balance sheet. No properties were classified as “Real estate held for sale” as of December 31, 2006. Therefore the revenues and expenses reported for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 reflect results from properties currently held for investment by the Company. The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the selected financial data in Item 6 and the consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, included in Item 15.
 
The Company intends to continue to seek to acquire additional properties in core markets and further reduce its non-core assets while focusing on an aggressive leasing program during 2007.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The major accounting policies followed by the Company are listed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:
 
  •  Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments increase during the term of the lease. The Company records rental income for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, a receivable, if deemed collectible, is recorded from tenants equal to the excess of the amount that would have been collected on a straight-line basis over the amount collected


16


Table of Contents

  and currently due (Deferred Rent Receivable). When a property is acquired, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for purposes of this calculation.
 
  •  Many of the Company’s leases provide for Common Area Maintenance (“CAM”)/Escalations (“ESC”) as the additional tenant revenue amounts due to the Company in addition to base rent. CAM/ESC represents increases in certain property operating expenses (as defined in each respective lease agreement) over the actual operating expense of the property in the base year. The base year is stated in the lease agreement; typically, the year in which the lease commenced. Generally, each tenant is responsible for his prorated share of increases in operating expenses. Tenants are billed an estimated CAM/ESC charge based on the budgeted operating expenses for the year. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, a reconciliation and true up billing of CAM/ESC charges is performed based on actual operating expenses.
 
  •  Rental properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, unless circumstances indicate that cost, net of accumulated depreciation, cannot be recovered, in which case the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. Estimated fair value (i) is based upon the Company’s plans for the continued operation of each property and (ii) is computed using estimated sales price, as determined by prevailing market values for comparable properties and/or the use of capitalization rates multiplied by annualized net operating income based upon the age, construction and use of the building. The fulfillment of the Company’s plans related to each of its properties is dependent upon, among other things, the presence of economic conditions which will enable the Company to continue to hold and operate the properties prior to their eventual sale. Due to uncertainties inherent in the valuation process and in the economy, the actual results of operating and disposing of the Company’s properties could be materially different than current expectations.
 
  •  Gains on property sales are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”. Gains are recognized in full when real estate is sold, provided (i) the gain is determinable, that is, the collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured or the amount that will not be collectible can be estimated, and (ii) the earnings process is virtually complete, that is, the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale to earn the gain. Losses on property sales are recognized immediately.

Rental revenue.  Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased $5,627,000, or 28.2%, in comparison to the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was attributable to $5,177,000 in revenue generated from seven office properties acquired in the first and second quarters of 2006, in addition to $450,000 in greater revenues from properties owned for the full years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. (“Same Properties”). The increase in Same Properties revenue was primarily due to an increase in overall occupancy. The weighted average occupancy of properties held for investment increased from 88% at December 31, 2005 to 90% at December 31, 2006. Rental revenue from the acquired properties was included in the Company’s results since their respective dates of acquisition.
 
Property operating expenses.  The increase of $3,219,000, or 36.9%, was principally due to $2,936,000 in expenses related to the seven acquired properties mentioned above. In addition, utilities increased as a result of


17


Table of Contents

higher electricity rates. Further, property taxes rose as a result of an increase in the assessed value of several properties. Also attributing to this increase were higher maintenance and repair costs incurred during 2006, in large part related to heating and air conditioning.
 
General and administrative.  The decrease of $235,000, or 6.3%, was primarily attributable to a reduction in corporate expenses due to the closure of the Company’s office in St. Louis, Missouri in December 2005 and due to a decrease in compensation costs principally attributable to a reduction of corporate staff. This decrease was partially offset by legal costs of $150,000 incurred in connection with the settlement of a litigation matter and $148,000 due to recognition of an obligation to reimburse John N. Galardi for legal fees paid by him in prior years. The fees were incurred in connection with Mr. Galardi’s defense of a litigation matter in which he was named as a defendant by reason of his association with the Company.
 
Depreciation and amortization.  The increase of $2,556,000, or 30.2%, was in large part due to the depreciation of capital improvements and amortization of capitalized lease costs. During 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred $4,933,000 and $4,886,000, respectively, in capital improvements on its existing properties, primarily for renovations and tenant improvements. The increase was also attributable to depreciation and amortization of $1,761,000 related to the seven acquired properties mentioned above.
 
Interest expense.  The increase of $1,026,000, or 11.6%, was primarily due to additional interest expense of $1,824,000 related to the seven acquired properties mentioned above. This increase was partially offset by the pay-off of the Company’s litigation notes payable. In October 2005, the Company made a principal pay-down payment of $4,635,000 and in January 2006, paid the remaining balance due of $4,877,000.
 
Income taxes.  The Company recognized a deferred income tax benefit from continuing operations of $3,893,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $3,360,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The income tax benefits were recorded at an effective rate of 43.5% for the year ended December 31, 2006 in comparison to an effective rate of 35.3% for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Minority interest.  The share of loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 for the holders of OP Units was $674,000 compared to $764,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The 2006 loss represents an average of 13.3% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company during 2006. The 2005 loss represents an average of 13.4% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company during 2005.
 
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt.  During 2006, the Company recorded a net gain on early extinguishment of debt of $1,282,000. In May 2006, the Company entered into a settlement and mortgage satisfaction agreement with the lender on its shopping center property located in South Carolina. The Company paid $1,500,000, which fully satisfied the Company’s indebtedness to the lender. A gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,849,000 was recognized in connection with the transaction. In December 2006, in connection with loan refinances on 12000 Westheimer and 2470 Gray Falls, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $567,000, which consisted of a prepayment penalty of $474,000 and the write-off of unamortized loan costs of $93,000. During 2005, in connection with the loan refinance of 800 and 888 Sam Houston Parkway, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $95,000 related to the write-off of unamortized loan costs.
 
Discontinued operations.  The Company recorded net income from discontinued operations of $10,911,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Loss from operations of discontinued operations of $65,000 was related to the three properties sold during the first quarter of 2006. The Company recorded a loss from operations of discontinued operations of $2,110,000 during 2005 related to the three properties sold during 2006 and the three properties sold during 2005. Also reflected in the net income (loss) for 2006 and 2005 are the gains on sales of discontinued operations, income tax expense and minority interest from discontinued operations. See Note 4 — Discontinued Operations — of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
The net income from discontinued operations is summarized below (dollars in thousands).

Gain on sale of discontinued operations.  The Company sold three properties — an industrial property and two office buildings — during the first three months of 2006 for an aggregate sales price of $46,508,000. The 2006 sales generated a gain of $22,349,000. Proceeds of approximately $11,300,000 (net of debt repayments and sales costs) were received as a result of the transactions, of which approximately $6,300,000 was used to assist the funding of acquisitions in tax-deferred exchanges. The Company sold three properties — one shopping center, one industrial property and one apartment complex — during 2005 for an aggregate sales price of $27,043,000. The three properties sold during 2005 generated a net gain on sale of discontinued operations of $7,895,000. An income tax expense on discontinued operations of $9,698,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $2,198,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005.

Rental revenue.  Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $421,000, or 2.2%, in comparison to the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase was attributable to $1,001,000 in revenue generated from two office properties acquired in August and October 2004, offset by $580,000 in fewer revenues from properties owned for the full years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 (“Same Properties”). This decrease in Same Properties revenue was primarily due to $293,000 in lease buyout revenue obtained at an office property in California during 2004 and due to a decrease in overall occupancy. Weighted average occupancy of properties held for investment decreased from 89% at December 31, 2004 to 88% at December 31, 2005. Rental revenue from the acquired properties was included in the Company’s results since their respective dates of acquisition.
 
Property operating expenses.  The increase of $1,603,000, or 22.5%, was principally due to $871,000 in expenses related to the two acquired properties mentioned above. In addition, utilities increased $413,000 as a result of higher electricity rates. Property general and administrative expenses increased in large part due to costs associated with an environmental matter at the Company’s industrial property in Indiana. Further, property taxes rose as a result of an increase in the assessed value of several properties.
 
General and administrative.  The decrease of $735,000, or 16.6%, was in large part due to a decrease in compensation expense of $422,000, primarily due to an overall reduction of corporate staff. Further, non-recurring costs of $183,000 associated with the Company’s March 2004 reverse stock split and a $75,000 treasury management fee were incurred during 2004. The decrease was also attributable to a cost reduction related to

19


Table of Contents

the printing of the Company’s Annual Report, a decrease in corporate insurance expense, and other cost cutting measures implemented by management.
 
Depreciation and amortization.  The increase of $930,000, or 12.3%, was in large part due to the depreciation of capital improvements and amortization of capitalized lease costs. During 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred $4,886,000 and $4,516,000, respectively, in capital improvements on its existing properties, primarily for renovations and tenant improvements. The increase was also attributable to depreciation and amortization of $296,000 related to the two acquired properties mentioned above.
 
Interest expense.  The decrease of $449,000, or 4.8%, was primarily due to refinancing activities. Lower interest rates were obtained on several loans refinanced subsequent to December 31, 2004. The refinancing of a property in August 2004 resulted in a $179,000 decrease in amortized loan fees during 2005. In addition, a principal pay-down of $4,635,000 in October 2005 on one of the Company’s litigation notes payable attributed to the decrease. The decrease was partially offset by additional interest expense of $285,000 related to one of the acquired properties mentioned above.
 
Income taxes.  The Company recognized a deferred income tax benefit from continuing operations of $3,360,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $2,222,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to an increase in taxable losses for the year ended December 31, 2005 in comparison to the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
Minority interest.  The share of loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 for the holders of OP Units was $764,000 compared to $814,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The 2005 loss represents an average of 13.4% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company during 2005. The 2004 loss represents the 12.5% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company during 2004.
 
Loss on extinguishment of debt.  During 2005, the Company recorded a loss of $95,000 on early extinguishment of debt on the write-off off unamortized loan costs in connection with the refinance of debt on 800 and 888 Sam Houston Parkway. During 2004, the Company recorded a net loss on early extinguishment of debt of $116,000. The net loss in 2004 consisted of a prepayment penalty of $120,000 and the write-off of unamortized loan costs of $94,000 in connection with the 2004 refinance debt on San Felipe, and a $98,000 gain related to the purchase of interests of former limited partners of Fund II in the $8,800,000 promissory note related to the settlement of the previously disclosed Teachout litigation. The Company purchased 2,347 of the 86,653 interests outstanding at $60 per unit, which reduced its debt obligation related to the settlement $238,338.
 
Discontinued operations.  The Company recorded a loss from operations of discontinued operations of $2,110,000 during 2005 related to the three properties sold during 2006 and the three properties sold during 2005. The Company recorded a loss from operations of discontinued operations of $2,574,000 during 2004 related to three properties sold during 2006, the three properties sold during 2005 and three properties sold during 2004. See Note 4 — Discontinued Operations — of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements for normal property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses from cash generated by operations. In addition, the Company expects to incur capital costs related to leasing space and making improvements to properties provided the estimated leasing of space is completed. The Company anticipates meeting these obligations with cash currently held, the use of funds held in escrow by lenders, and proceeds from sales and refinancing activities. Except for scheduled monthly principal payments, the Company has no mortgage debt due to mature in 2007.

INFLATION
 
Substantially all of the leases at the industrial and shopping center properties provide for pass-through to tenants of certain operating costs, including real estate taxes, common area maintenance expenses, and insurance. Leases at the office properties typically provide for rent adjustment and pass-through of increases in operating expenses during the term of the lease. All of these provisions may permit the Company to increase rental rates or other charges to tenants in response to rising prices and therefore, serve to reduce the Company’s exposure to the adverse effects of inflation.
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and expectations, which may not be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements include the following: the Company’s level of indebtedness and ability to refinance its debt; the fact that the Company’s predecessors have had a history of losses in the past; unforeseen liabilities which could arise as a result of the prior operations of companies or properties acquired in the Company’s 2001 consolidation transaction; risks inherent in the Company’s acquisition and development of properties in the future, including risks associated with the Company’s strategy of investing in under-valued assets; general economic, business and market conditions, including the impact of the current economic downturn; changes in federal and local laws and regulations; increased competitive pressures; and other factors, including the factors set forth below, as well as factors set forth elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 7A.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
INTEREST RATES
 
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates obtainable on its secured and unsecured borrowings.
 
It is the Company’s policy to manage its exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates for its borrowings through the use of fixed rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are obtainable with such arrangements. In order to maximize financial flexibility when selling properties and minimize potential prepayment penalties on fixed rate loans, the Company has also entered into variable rate debt arrangements.
 
The Company had no swap contracts at December 31, 2006 or December 31, 2005.
 
At December 31, 2006, the Company’s total indebtedness included fixed-rate debt of approximately $151,382,000 and floating-rate indebtedness of approximately $2,194,000. The Company continually reviews the portfolio’s interest rate exposure in an effort to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not have any other material market-sensitive financial instruments.
 
The table below provides information about the Company’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. Weighted average variable rates are based on rates in effect at the reporting date.
 
                                                                         
    Expected Maturity Date  
    2007     2008     2009     2010     2011     Thereafter     Loan Premiums     Total     Fair Value

Secured Fixed
  $ 1,813     $ 1,840     $ 15,713     $ 33,235     $ 22,820     $ 75,961     $ 1,460     $ 152,842     $ 152,842  
Average interest rate
    6.86 %     6.86 %     6.86 %     6.89 %     6.37 %     6.09 %             6.72 %        
Secured Variable
  $ 37     $ 1,957     $     $     $     $     $     $ 1,994     $ 1,994  
Average interest rate
    8.07 %     8.07 %                                             8.07 %        
Unsecured Variable

Average interest rate
            9.25 %                                             9.25 %        
 
The Company believes that the fair values of such instruments approximate carrying value at December 31, 2006.
 
A change of 1.00% in the index rate to which the Company’s variable rate debt is tied would change the annual interest incurred by the Company by $21,940, or $.02 per share, based upon the balances outstanding on variable rate instruments and the number of common shares outstanding at December 31, 2006.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Spectrum Realty, Inc.
Houston, Texas
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Spectrum Realty, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006. Our audit also included the financial statement schedules listed in Item 15(a) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Spectrum Realty, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTE 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (“ASR” or, collectively, as a consolidated entity with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation established on August 8, 2000. The Company is a full-service real estate corporation, which owns, manages and operates income-producing properties. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held through an operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in which the Company, as of December 31, 2006, held the sole general partner interest of .98% and a limited partnership interest totaling 85.75%. As of December 31, 2006, through its majority-owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, the Company owned and operated 26 properties, which consisted of 22 office buildings, three industrial properties, and one shopping center. The 26 properties are located in six states.
 
During 2006, the Company purchased six office properties located in Houston, Texas and one office property located in Victoria, Texas. Three properties were sold during 2006, which consisted of an industrial property and an office building located in San Diego, California and an office building located in Palatine, Illinois. During 2005, the Company sold three properties, which consisted of a vacant single tenant industrial property located in San Diego, California, a shopping center located in Columbia, South Carolina and an apartment complex located in Hazelwood, Missouri. No properties were acquired in 2005. During 2004, the Company acquired two office buildings in Houston, Texas and sold three properties, which consisted of an office building located in Columbia, Missouri, an industrial property located in San Antonio, Texas and a parcel of undeveloped land located in Phoenix, Arizona. The property acquisitions are part of the Company’s strategy to acquire multi-tenant office and industrial properties located in its core markets of Texas, California and Arizona.
 
The Board of Directors has concluded that it is not in the best interests of the Company to elect to be treated as a real estate investment trust (or REIT), as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In May 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, which removed a provision restricting the ability of stockholders to acquire shares in excess of certain ownership limitations. This provision had been included in the Articles to preserve the Company’s ability to elect to be taxed as a REIT in the future, since one of the requirements of REIT status is that not more than 50% of a REIT’s equity securities may be held by 5 or fewer stockholders.
 
NOTE 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
 
The financial statements include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and all other subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions, receivables and payables have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, real estate designated as held for sale are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144 and the results of operations of these properties are included in income from discontinued operations. Prior periods have been reclassified for comparability, as required.
 
Pursuant to a one-for-four reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock, every four shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on March 1, 2004 became one share of new post- split Common Stock.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Share and per share data (except par value) in the consolidated financial statements and notes for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
 
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is still analyzing FIN 48, but believes it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement,” effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but simplifies and codifies related guidance within General Accepted Accounting Principles. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The Company is currently reviewing this pronouncement, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
REAL ESTATE
 
Rental properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, unless circumstances indicate that cost, net of accumulated depreciation, cannot be recovered, in which case the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. Estimated fair value (i) is based upon the Company’s plans for the continued operation of each property and (ii) is computed using estimated sales price, as determined by prevailing market values for comparable properties and/or the use of capitalization rates multiplied by annualized net operating income based upon the age, construction and use of the building. The fulfillment of the Company’s plans related to each of its properties is dependent upon, among other things, the presence of economic conditions which will enable the Company to continue to hold and operate the properties prior to their eventual sale. Due to uncertainties inherent in the valuation process and in the economy, actual results of operating and disposing of the Company’s properties could be materially different from current expectations.
 
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets. The useful lives are as follows:
 
     
Building and Improvements
  5 to 40 years
Tenant Improvements
  Term of the related lease
Furniture and Equipment
  3 to 5 years

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, tenant and other receivables, deposits held in escrow, notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Management believes that the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their respective fair market values at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
 
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, as amended, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designed as hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings.
 
The Company had no interest rate swaps to hedge against fluctuations in interest rates on specific borrowings at December 31, 2006 or 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2004 the Company recorded a benefit of $65,000 attributable to changes in the fair value of its derivative financial instruments.
 
DEFERRED FINANCING AND OTHER FEES
 
Fees paid in connection with the financing and leasing of the Company’s properties are amortized over the term of the related note payable or lease and are included in other assets.
 
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method and, therefore, has not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2006 included compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company is recognizing these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which range from immediate vesting to vesting over a three-year period. Prior to the January 1, 2006 adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R. See Note 16 for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
MINORITY INTEREST
 
Unit holders in the Operating Partnership (other than the Company) held a 13.27% and 13.35% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Each of the holders of the interests in the Operating Partnership (other than the Company) has the option (exercisable after the first anniversary of the issuance of the OP Units) to redeem its OP Units and to receive, at the option of the Company, in exchange for each four OP Units, either (i) one share of Common Stock of the Company, or (ii) cash equal to the value of one share of Common Stock of the Company at the date of conversion, but no fractional shares will be issued.
 
RENTAL REVENUE
 
Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments increase during the term of the lease. The Company records rental income for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, a receivable is recorded from tenants equal to the excess of the amount that would have been collected on a straight-line basis over the amount collected and currently due (Deferred Rent Receivable). When a property is acquired, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for purposes of this calculation.
 
Many of the Company’s leases provide for Common Area Maintenance/Escalations (“CAM/ESC”) as additional tenant revenue amounts due to the Company in addition to base rent. CAM/ESC represents increases in certain property operating expenses (as defined in each respective lease agreement) over the actual operating expense of the property in the base year. The base year is stated in the lease agreement; typically, the year in which the lease commenced. Generally, each tenant is responsible for their prorated share of increases in operating expenses. Tenants are billed an estimated CAM/ESC charge based on the budgeted operating expenses for the year. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, a reconciliation and true up billing of CAM/ESC charges is performed based on actual operating expenses.
 
The Company’s portfolio of leases turns over continuously, with the number and value of expiring leases varying from year to year. The Company’s ability to re-lease the space to existing or new tenants at rates equal to or greater than those realized historically is impacted by, among other things, the economic conditions of the market in which a property is located, the availability of competing space, and the level of improvements which may be required at the property. No assurance can be given that the rental rates that the Company will obtain in the future will be equal to or greater than those obtained under existing contractual commitments.
 
For each of the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 no tenants represented 10% or more of rental revenue of the Company.
 
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
Net income (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company incurred losses from continuing operations for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, stock options outstanding of 35,938, 39,875 and 37,375 and OP Units (other than those held by the Company) outstanding of 845,507, 857,159 and 862,985 (convertible into approximately 211,377, 214,289 and 215,746 shares of common stock), at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, have not been included in the Company’s net income (loss) per share calculations for periods presented since their effect on losses from continuing operations would be anti-dilutive.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management estimates the income tax in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. This process includes an assessment of current tax expense, the


37


Table of Contents

 
AMERICAN SPECTRUM REALTY, INC.
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

results of tax examinations, and the effects of temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of transactions for tax and financial accounting purposes. These differences may result in deferred tax assets or liabilities which are included in the consolidated balance sheet. The realization of deferred tax assets as a result of future taxable income must be assessed and to the extent that the realization is doubtful, a valuation allowance is established. The Company’s income tax provision is based on calculations and assumptions that will be subject to examination by the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Should the actual results differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company would have to adjust the income tax provision in the period in which the facts and circumstances that give rise to the revision become known. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in the income tax provision in the period in which such changes are enacted.
 
SEGMENTS
 
The Company owns a diverse portfolio of properties primarily comprised of office and industrial properties. The Company also owns one shopping center. Each of these property types represents a reportable segment with distinct uses and tenant types and requires the Company to employ different management strategies. The properties contained in the segments are located in various regions and markets within the United States. The office portfolio consists primarily of suburban office buildings. The industrial portfolio consists of properties designed for warehouse, distribution and light manufacturing for single-tenant or multi-tenant use.
 
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
 
The Company maintains an allowance reserve for accounts receivable which may not be ultimately collected. The allowance balance maintained is based upon historical collection experience, current aging of amounts due and specific evaluations of the collectibility of individual balances. All tenant account balances over 90 days past due are fully reserved. Accounts are written off against the reserve when they are deemed to be uncollectible.

Company also considers an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases.
 
The Company evaluates acquired “above and below” market leases at their fair value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. Based on its acquisitions to date, the Company’s allocation to intangible assets for assets purchased has not been significant.

NOTE 5.   INVESTMENT IN MANAGEMENT COMPANY
 
Pursuant to the Company’s 2001 consolidation transaction (“the Consolidation”), the Company acquired a portion of the property management business of CGS Real Estate Company, Inc (“CGS”). The Company recorded a $4,000,000 investment in the property management business as determined by an exchange value computation.
 
SFAS No. 142 — “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” — requires intangible assets that are not subject to amortization be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible asset shall be its new accounting basis. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.
 
At December 31, 2006, the Company evaluated its investment in the management company in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and determined that the fair value had not decreased below carrying value and that no impairment was necessary.

NOTE 6.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
In July 2006, the Company reimbursed John N. Galardi, a director and principal stockholder, $250,810 for legal fees paid by him in prior years. The fees were incurred in connection with Mr. Galardi’s defense of a litigation matter in which he was named as a defendant by reason of his association with the Company. Expenses not previously recognized on this obligation, which totaled approximately $174,000, were expensed during the second and third quarters of 2006.
 
The Company pays a guarantee fee to William J. Carden, Mr. Galardi and CGS Real Estate Company, Inc. (“CGS”), a company owned indirectly by Messrs. Carden and Galardi (“the Guarantors”), in consideration for their guarantees of certain obligations of the Company. Mr. Carden is the Chief Executive Officer, a director and a principal stockholder of the Company. The Guarantors are paid an annual guarantee fee equal to between .25% and .75% (depending on the nature of the guarantee) of the outstanding balance as of December 31 of the guaranteed obligations (“Guarantee Fee”). The Guarantee Fee is paid for a maximum of three years on any particular obligation. In December 2004, the Company paid $187,944 related to the Guarantee Fee payable for the 2004 year. The payments were made in the form of an offset against certain sums owed to the Company by the Guarantors. In December 2006, the Company paid $172,109 for Guarantee Fees related to the 2005 year of $161,442 and the 2006 year of $10,667.
 
During 2004 and 2003, the Company made payments totaling $81,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, on its indebtedness to an entity affiliated with Mr. Carden and Mr. Galardi, reducing the balance due to $170,321 as of December 31, 2005. In 2006, the Company paid the remaining balance due of $170,321.
 
In December 2004, the Company received a $532,000 loan from Mr. Galardi. The note, which bore interest at a fixed interest rate of 12% per annum, was paid in April 2005.
 
In September 2004, the Company began managing an apartment complex owned by an affiliated entity of Mr. Carden. During the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company received management fees of $16,000 and $20,000 from this entity, respectively. In April 2005, the Company received a commission of $176,400 from this entity in connection with the sale of the apartment complex.
 
In February 2003, the Company reached an agreement with CGS, whereby CGS acknowledged that it owed the Company a net amount of $270,375 which related to several issues asserted by Mr. Carden that were owed by CGS to the Company and by the Company to CGS. Mr. Carden and Mr. Galardi had agreed to guarantee this obligation of CGS, and they had secured this guarantee with an assignment to the Company of their right to receive $270,375 of principal payments on the notes payable to them and their affiliates by reason of the settlement of the Teachout litigation, plus all interest payable on such principal amount of notes. This amount, with accrued interest of 6% per annum, was due and payable to the Company on March 15, 2006. In 2004, as part of the payment of 2003 and 2004 Guarantee Fees due to Mr. Galardi and Mr. Carden, $26,606 was applied to the principal due on this obligation. In October 2005, CGS paid the balance due of $243,769 to the Company.
 
In connection with the settlement of the Teachout litigation in 2003, Mr. Galardi and Mr. Carden acknowledged that they owed the Company the sum of $1,187,695 as indemnification against a portion of the Company’s settlement obligation (See Note 8). Mr. Galardi and certain affiliates of Mr. Carden and/or Mr. Galardi are beneficiaries, in part, of the settlement of the Teachout litigation and are owed an amount in excess of this obligation pursuant to that settlement. Mr. Galardi and Mr. Carden agreed to pay the Company the principal sum of this obligation, plus interest thereon at the annual rate of 6% in the form of an assignment to the Company of their right to receive $1,187,695 of principal payments on the notes payable to them and their affiliates by reason of the settlement of the Teachout litigation, plus all interest payable on such principal amount of notes. The receivable of $1,187,695 and accrued interest were reflected as a component of equity in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In 2004, as part of the payment of 2003 and 2004 Guarantee Fees due to Mr. Galardi and Mr. Carden, $237,215 was applied to the principal due on this obligation. In October 2005, pursuant to the 2003 agreement, Mr. Carden, Mr. Galardi and CGS paid the balance due of $950,480 to the Company.

NOTE 8.   NOTES PAYABLE, LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
 
As the result of the settlement of the Teachout litigation, which was finalized in 2003, the Company reaffirmed its previously announced obligation to pay the former limited partners of Sierra Pacific Development Fund II (“Fund II”) as of the date of the Consolidation, or their assignees or transferees, the loans which were made and called by the former general partner of Fund II as part of the Consolidation.
 
Pursuant to the settlement, the Company established a repayment plan and secured the debt with a second deed of trust on an office property owned by the Company. This repayment plan consisted of a promissory note in the amount of $8,800,000, which bore interest at 6% per annum and matured in March 2006. The note was payable to the former limited partners of Fund II, each of whom has a pro-rata interest in the note. Interest-only payments, which were payable quarterly, commenced June 2, 2003. The note could be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
 
As part of the settlement, the Company agreed to pay legal fees totaling $1,200,000 to the plaintiff’s counsel. The Company made a scheduled payment of $250,000 in the third quarter of 2003 with the remaining $950,000 consisting of two promissory notes. The first note, in the amount of $700,000, bore interest at 6% per annum and matured in March 2006. Interest-only payments, which were payable quarterly, commenced June 2, 2003. The second promissory note, in the amount of $250,000, bore no interest and matured in March 2006. The notes, which were secured by a second deed of trust on an office property owned by the Company, could be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company purchased 2,347 of the 86,653 interests outstanding in the $8,800,000 promissory note. The Company paid $140,820 (or $60 per unit), which reduced its debt obligation related to the settlement by $238,338.
 
In October 2005, the Company made a principal pay-down of $4,634,630 on its note payable to the former limited partners of Fund II. The payment reduced the principal amount due on the note from $8,561,662 to $3,927,032. The payment represented a $55.00 per unit pay-down on the original obligation of $101.55 per unit.
 
Pursuant to prior agreements, William J. Carden, John N. Galardi and CGS Real Estate Company, Inc. paid their balances due to the Company (See Note 8).

The Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,000,000 and $6,300,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2006.
 
The Company is a loss corporation as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, if certain changes in the Company’s ownership should occur, there could be a significant annual limitation on the amount of loss carryforwards and future recognized losses that can be utilized and ultimately some amount of loss carryforwards may not be available. Such changes could result in additional tax provision. The net operating loss carryforwards expires in 2022 through 2025.

Based on the current strategic plans of the Company, management has determined that it was more likely than not that future taxable income, primarily from the gain on the sale of real estate assets, would be sufficient to enable the Company to realize all of its deferred tax assets. Therefore, for the three years ended December 31, 2006, no valuation allowance has been recorded.
 
NOTE 13.   NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
Net income (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company incurred losses from continuing operations for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

NOTE 14.   STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED SHARE PLANS
 
The Company has in effect the Plan, which is administered by the Board of Directors, and provides for the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance units and performance shares. The Board has reserved a total of 180,000 shares under the Plan. As of December 31, 2006, 118,876 ASR shares were available for issuance to executive officers, directors or other key employees of the Company.
 
Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company recognizes these compensation costs net of a forfeiture rate and recognizes the compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
 
As a result of the January 1, 2006 adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognized compensation expense of $51,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is included in general and administrative expense in its consolidated condensed statement of operations. The impact on both basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $.04 per share. Compensation expense of $57,000 will be recognized over the next three years related to unvested stock options.

Stock Options
 
During the second quarter of 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company granted 7,500, 6,250 and 6,250 stock options, respectively, to its non-employee board members. The stock options have 10-year contractual terms and vest over a three-year period, with the first 25% vesting immediately. The estimated grant date fair value of the options granted during the second quarter of 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $10.00, $6.04 and $6.60, respectively.
 
The fair value of the options issued during the second quarter of 2006 was estimated, as of the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 51%; risk-free interest rate of 5.12%; and 6-year expected life. Due to its limited history as a public entity, the Company used a blended method in computing its estimate of expected volatility. The Company considered both its own historical stock price fluctuations and stock price fluctuations from another public real estate entity comparable in size.
 
The fair value of each option granted prior to January 1, 2006 was estimated, as of the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions used for the 6,250 stock options granted during 2005 included expected volatility of 62%; risk-free interest rate of 4.28%; and 10-year expected life. Assumptions used for the 6,250 stock options granted during 2004 included expected volatility of 40%; risk-free interest rate of 4.50%; and 10-year expected life. Due to its limited history as a public entity, the Company assumed a 10-year expected life on all options granted prior to January 1, 2006.
 
The Company has a policy of issuing new shares upon the exercise of stock options. During the year ended December 31, 2006, a total of 5,624 options were exercised. Net proceeds of $63,000 were received from the exercise of these options.

NOTE 15.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is aware that two of its properties may contain hazardous substances above reportable levels. One of the properties is located in the State of Indiana. The Company retained an environmental expert that developed a clean up and monitoring plan that has been approved by the State of Indiana. In 2005, the Company accrued $75,000 for the future environmental cleanup and monitoring. The other property is located in the State of South Carolina and is included in a special fund sponsored by the state. The timing of the cleanup is dependent on the state’s priorities and state funds will cover the costs for the cleanup. As such, no liability has been accrued on the Company’s books for this property.
 
Certain claims and lawsuits have arisen against the Company in its normal course of business. The Company believes that such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flow or results of operations.
 
NOTE 16.   SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned a diverse portfolio of properties comprising office, industrial and a shopping center property. Each of these property types represents a reportable segment with distinct uses and tenant types and requires the Company to employ different management strategies. The properties contained in the segments are located in various regions and markets within the United States. The office portfolio consists primarily of suburban office buildings. The industrial portfolio consists of properties designed for warehouse, distribution and light manufacturing for single-tenant or multi-tenant use. The Company’s sole remaining shopping center property is located in South Carolina.
