PART I

Item 1.                    Business.

General Description of Business

We are a limited partnership formed in Texas on July 30, 2002.  Our general partners are Behringer Harvard Advisors II LP (“Behringer Advisors II”) and Robert M. Behringer (collectively the “General Partners”).  We were funded through capital contributions from our General Partners and initial limited partner on September 20, 2002 (date of inception) and offered our limited partnership units pursuant to the public offering which commenced on February 19, 2003 and terminated on February 19, 2005 (the “Offering”). On February 19, 2003, we commenced the Offering of up to 10,000,000 limited partnership units offered at a price of $10 per unit pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933.  The Registration Statement also covered up to 1,000,000 limited partnership units available pursuant to our distribution reinvestment and automatic purchase plan.  On January 21, 2005, we amended our Registration Statement on Form S-11 with Amendment No. 7 to increase the units of limited partnership interest being offered to 10,950,000 and decrease the units to be issued under the distribution reinvestment and automatic purchase plan to 50,000 units.  The Offering was a best efforts continuous offering and we admitted new investors until the termination of the Offering.

The number of units sold and the gross offering proceeds realized pursuant to the Offering were 10,997,188 limited partnership units for $109,244,460.  As of December 31, 2006, we had 10,803,839 limited partnership units outstanding.  Our limited partnership units are not currently listed on a national exchange, and we do not expect any public market for the units to develop.

We are using the proceeds from the Offering, after deducting offering expenses, to acquire properties or interests in properties and develop or redevelop such properties through separate limited partnerships or joint venture arrangements, including eight office building properties, one shopping/service center, a hotel redevelopment with an adjoining condominium development and two additional development properties.  On May 15, 2006, we acquired an approximately 1.56 acre site in Telluride, Colorado (the “Telluride Property”) through our direct and indirect interests in our wholly-owned subsidiary, Behringer Harvard Mountain Village, LLC.  In addition, in July 2006 we sold a five story office building in Dallas, Texas located on approximately 1.7 acres of land subject to a ground lease that expires in 2097 (the “Woodall Rodgers Improved Property”).  In connection with that sale, we made a special distribution of approximately $4,980,000 to our limited partners in November 2006.  We are not

3




currently seeking to purchase any additional properties however, in limited circumstances, we may purchase properties as a result of selling one or more of the properties we currently hold and reinvesting the sales proceeds in properties that fall within our investment objectives and investment criteria.  As of December 31, 2006, we wholly own six properties and we own interests in five properties through separate limited partnerships or joint venture arrangements.

Our partnership agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) provides that we will continue in existence until the earlier of December 31, 2017 or termination of the Partnership, pursuant to the liquidation and termination provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

Until December 31, 2008, the value of our units will be deemed to be $10, adjusted for any special distributions, and no valuation or appraisal of our units will be performed.  As of December 31, 2006, we estimate the per unit valuation to be $9.44, due to a special distribution made in 2005 of $0.10 per unit and a special distribution of $0.46 per unit made in 2006 of a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of properties.  Starting January 1, 2009, we will prepare annual valuations of our units based upon the estimated amount a limited partner would receive if all Partnership assets were sold for their estimated values as of the close of our fiscal year and all proceeds from such sales, without reduction for selling expenses, together with any funds held by the Partnership, were distributed to the limited partners upon liquidation.  Such estimated property values will be based upon annual valuations performed by the General Partners, and no independent property appraisals will be obtained.  While the General Partners are required under the Partnership Agreement to obtain the opinion of an independent third party stating that their estimates of value are reasonable, the unit valuations provided by the General Partners may not satisfy the technical requirements imposed on plan fiduciaries under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”).  Similarly, the unit valuations provided by the General Partners may be subject to challenge by the Internal Revenue Service if used for any tax (income, estate and gift or otherwise) valuation purpose as an indicator of the fair value of the units.

Our office is located at 15601 Dallas Parkway, Suite 600, Addison, Texas 75001, and our toll-free telephone number is (866) 655-1620.  The name Behringer Harvard is the property of Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC and is used by permission.

Disposition Policies

As noted above, we have now completed the Offering.  We anticipate that prior to our termination and dissolution, all of our properties will be sold.  We intend to hold the various real properties in which we have invested until such time as sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that such objectives will not be met.  In deciding whether to sell properties, we will consider factors such as potential capital appreciation, cash flow and federal income tax considerations, including possible adverse federal income tax consequences to our limited partners.  We are currently preparing and assessing properties for potential sale, although we do not have a definite timetable.  Our General Partners may exercise their discretion as to whether and when to sell a property, and we will have no obligation to sell properties at any particular time, except upon our termination on December 31, 2017, or earlier if our General Partners determine to liquidate us or, after five years following the termination of the Offering, if investors holding a majority of the units vote to liquidate us in response to a formal proxy to liquidate.  Instead of causing us to liquidate, our General Partners, in their sole discretion, may determine to offer to limited partners the opportunity to convert their units into interests in another public real estate program sponsored by our General Partners or their affiliates, through a plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion, provided that the transaction is approved by holders of such percentage of units as determined by our General Partners, but not less than a majority and excluding those held by our General Partners and their affiliates.  If such an opportunity is provided to our limited partners, it may involve the distribution to limited partners of freely traded securities that are listed on a securities exchange.

Cash flow from operations will not be invested in the acquisition of real estate properties.  However, in the discretion of our General Partners, cash flow may be held as working capital reserves or used to make capital improvements to existing properties.  In addition, net sale proceeds generally will not be reinvested but will be distributed to the partners, unless our General Partners determine that it is in our best interest to reinvest the proceeds of any particular sale in other real estate investments in order to meet our investment objectives.  We will not reinvest the proceeds from any sale in additional properties unless our General Partners determine it is likely that we would be able to hold such additional properties for a sufficient period of time prior to the termination of the fund in order to satisfy our investment objectives with respect to that investment. Thus, we are intended to be self-liquidating in nature.  Our General Partners may also determine not to distribute net sale proceeds if such proceeds are, in the discretion of our General Partners:

·                  used to purchase land underlying any of our properties;

4




·                  used to buy out the interest of any co-tenant or joint venture partner in a property that is jointly owned;

·                  held as working capital reserves; or

·                  used to make capital improvements to existing properties.

Notwithstanding the above, reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of properties will not occur unless sufficient cash will be distributed to pay any federal or state income tax liability created by the sale of the property, assuming limited partners will be subject to a 30% combined federal and state tax rate.

We will not pay, directly or indirectly, any commission or fee, except as specifically permitted under Article XII of our Partnership Agreement, to our General Partners or their affiliates in connection with the reinvestment or distribution of proceeds from the sale, exchange or financing of our properties.

Although not required to do so, we will generally seek to sell our real estate properties for cash.  We may, however, accept terms of payment from a buyer that include purchase money obligations secured by mortgages as partial payment, depending upon then-prevailing economic conditions customary in the area in which the property being sold is located, credit of the buyer and available financing alternatives.  Some properties we sell may be sold on the installment basis under which only a portion of the sale price will be received in the year of sale, with subsequent payments spread over a number of years. In such event, our full distribution of the net proceeds of any sale may be delayed until the notes are paid, sold or financed.

Investment Objectives and Criteria

We are not currently actively seeking to purchase additional properties.  However, as mentioned above, in limited circumstances, we may purchase properties as a result of selling one or more of the properties we currently hold and reinvesting the sales proceeds in properties that fall within our investment objectives and investment criteria.  If we purchase such properties, our intention is to invest in income-producing real estate properties, including properties that have been constructed and have operating histories, are newly constructed or are under development or construction.  Our investment objectives are:

·                  to preserve, protect and return investor’s capital contributions;

·                  to maximize cash distributions paid to investors;

·                  to realize growth in the value of our properties upon the ultimate sale of such properties; and

·                  within five years after termination of the Offering on February 19, 2005, either (i) to make an orderly disposition of the properties and distribute the cash to the investors or (ii) upon the approval of the majority of the limited partners, for all the investors to exchange their units for interests in another Behringer Harvard program.

We cannot assure investors that we will attain these objectives or that our capital will not decrease.  We may not change our investment objectives except with the approval of limited partners holding a majority of our units (without regard to units owned or controlled by our General Partners).  In the event that the holders of a majority of our units approve a merger or consolidation with another partnership or corporation, in lieu of our liquidation, limited partners who dissent from any such merger or consolidation will be entitled to receive cash for their units based on the appraised value of our net assets.

Our General Partners make all decisions relating to the purchase or sale of our properties.

Acquisition and Investment Policies

To the extent we acquire any additional properties, we will primarily invest in quality commercial properties, such as office, retail, apartment, industrial and hotel properties that have been identified as being opportunistic investments with significant possibilities for near term capital appreciation.  These properties will be identified as such because of their property specific characteristics or their market characteristics.  For instance, properties that may benefit from unique repositioning opportunities or that are located in markets with higher volatility, lower barriers to entry and high growth potential (such as the southwestern United States), may present appropriate investments for us.  We intend to hold the various real properties in which we have invested until such time as sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that such objectives will not be met.  Economic or market conditions may influence us to hold our investments for different periods of time.  Our General Partners believe that a portfolio consisting of a preponderance of these types of properties enhances our liquidity opportunities for investors by making the sale of individual properties, multiple properties or our investment portfolio as a whole attractive to institutional investors.

We plan to be opportunistic in our acquisitions of properties.  Properties may be acquired in markets that are depressed or overbuilt with the anticipation that these properties will increase in value as the markets recover.  Properties may also be acquired and repositioned by seeking to improve the property and tenant quality and thereby increase lease revenues.  Many of the markets where we will acquire properties may have low barriers to entry.  However, we are not limited to such investments.  We may invest in commercial properties, including office buildings, shopping centers, business

5




and industrial parks, manufacturing facilities, apartment buildings, warehouses and distribution facilities, if our General Partners determine that it would be advantageous to do so.  Investments may also include commercial properties that are not preleased to such tenants or in other types of commercial properties, such as hotels or motels.  We may purchase properties that have been constructed and have operating histories, are newly constructed or are under development or construction.  We will not, however, be actively engaged in the business of operating hotels, motels or similar properties.

We seek to invest in properties that will satisfy our objective of providing distributions of current cash flow to our limited partners.  However, because a significant factor in the valuation of income-producing real properties is their potential for future appreciation in value, our General Partners anticipate that the majority of properties we acquire will have the potential for both capital appreciation and distributions of current cash flow to investors.  To the extent feasible, we have sought to invest in a diversified portfolio of properties in terms of type of property and industry of our tenants that will satisfy our investment objectives of maximizing net cash from operations, preserving our capital and realizing capital appreciation upon the ultimate sale of our properties.

We will not invest more than the lesser of 25% of the gross offering proceeds available for investment or 10% of our aggregate asset value in non-income producing properties.  If a property is expected to produce income within two years of its acquisition, we will not consider it a non-income producing property.  In addition, we will not acquire any property in exchange for units.

Our investment in real estate has generally taken, and will continue to take, the form of holding fee title or a long-term leasehold estate, either directly or indirectly through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with the developers of the properties, affiliates of the General Partners or other persons.  In addition, we may purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties.  While we will use our best efforts to structure any such sale-leaseback transaction such that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” so that we will be treated as the owner of the property for federal income tax purposes, we cannot assure investors that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge such characterization.  In the event that any such sale-leaseback transaction is recharacterized as a financing transaction for federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed, and our income therefrom could be treated as portfolio income, rather than passive income.

We may continue to invest in properties that complement our geographic diversification, although we expect to focus on markets with higher volatility, lower barriers to entry and high growth potential (such as the southwestern United States).  Although we are not limited as to the geographic area where we may conduct our operations, we expect that all of our real property assets will be located in the United States.

In making investment decisions for us, our General Partners consider relevant real estate property and financial factors, including the location of the property, its suitability for any development contemplated or in progress, its income-producing capacity, the prospects for long-range appreciation, and its liquidity and income tax considerations.  Our General Partners have substantial discretion with respect to the selection of our specific investments.

In making acquisitions of real property we obtain independent appraisals.  However, we will rely on our own independent analysis and not on such appraisals in determining whether to invest in a particular property.  It should be noted that appraisals are estimates of value and should not be relied upon as measures of true worth or realizable value.  Copies of these appraisals will be available for review and duplication by investors at our office and will be retained for at least five years.

Our obligation to purchase any property will generally be conditioned upon the delivery and verification of certain documents from the seller or developer, including, where appropriate:

·                  plans and specifications;

·                  environmental reports;

·                  surveys;

·                  evidence of marketable title subject to such liens and encumbrances as are acceptable to our General Partners;

·                  audited financial statements covering recent operations of properties having operating histories; and

·                  title and liability insurance policies.

We may also enter into arrangements with the seller or developer of a property whereby the seller or developer agrees that, if during a stated period the property does not generate a specified cash flow, the seller or developer will pay in cash to us a sum necessary to reach the specified cash flow level, subject in some cases to negotiated dollar limitations.

In determining whether to purchase a particular property, we may, in accordance with customary practices, obtain an option on such property.  The amount paid for an option, if any, is normally surrendered if the property is not purchased and is normally credited against the purchase price if the property is purchased.

6




In purchasing, leasing and developing real properties, we will be subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including:

·                  changes in general economic or local conditions;

·                  changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;

·                  changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds that may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive;

·                  changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws;

·                  periods of high interest rates and tight money supply that may make the sale of properties more difficult;

·                  tenant turnover; and

·                  general overbuilding or excess supply in the market area.

We and our performance are subject to the additional risks listed in the Item 1A. “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Acquisition of Properties from Behringer Development

We have, and may in the future, acquire properties, directly or through joint ventures, with affiliated entities, including (i) Behringer Development Company LP (“Behringer Development”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC (“Behringer Holdings”) and (ii) BHD, LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Behringer Holdings.  Behringer Development was formed to (1) acquire existing income-producing commercial real estate properties, and (2) acquire land, develop commercial real properties, secure tenants for such properties and sell such properties upon completion to us or other Behringer Harvard programs.

We may purchase or acquire a property from Behringer Development or any of our affiliates only if:

·                  Behringer Development temporarily enters into a contract relating to an investment property to be assigned to us or purchases an investment property in its own name and temporarily holds title to the property in order to facilitate our acquisition of the property, our borrowing of money or obtaining financing to purchase the property, the completion of construction of the property or for any other purpose related to our business.

·                  The purchase price that we pay to Behringer Development for the property will not exceed the cost to Behringer Development of the acquisition, construction and development of the project, including interest and other carrying costs to Behringer Development, except for acquisition and advisory fees payable to our General Partners or their affiliates.

·                  All profits and losses during the period any such property is held by Behringer Development will accrue to us, and no other benefit will accrue to Behringer Development or its affiliates from the sale of such property.

·                  Behringer Development has not held title to the property for more than twelve months prior to the beginning of the Offering.

Except as described above, we will not contract with Behringer Development or any of its affiliates to develop or construct our properties.

Our General Partners will not cause us to enter into a contract to acquire property from Behringer Development if they do not reasonably anticipate that funds will be available to purchase the property at the time of closing.  If we enter into a contract to acquire property from Behringer Development and, at the time of closing, are unable to purchase the property because we do not have sufficient net proceeds available for investment, we will not be required to close the purchase of the property and will be entitled to a refund of our earnest money deposit from Behringer Development.  Because Behringer Development is an entity without substantial assets or operations, Behringer Development’s obligation to refund our earnest money deposit will be guaranteed by HPT Management Services LP (“HPT Management”), our property manager, which will enter into contracts to provide property management and leasing services to various Behringer Harvard programs, including us, for substantial monthly fees.  As of the time HPT Management may be required to perform under any guaranty, we cannot assure investors that HPT Management will have sufficient assets to refund all of our earnest money deposit in a lump sum payment.  In such a case, we would be required to accept installment payments over time payable out of the revenues of HPT Management’s operations.  We cannot assure investors that we would be able to collect the entire amount of our earnest money deposit under such circumstances.

7




Joint Venture and Co-Tenancy Investments

We have, and in the future may, enter into joint ventures with affiliated entities for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties for the purpose of diversifying our portfolio of assets.  In this connection, we would likely enter into additional joint ventures with other Behringer Harvard programs.  Our General Partners also have the authority to cause us to enter into joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies and other co-ownership arrangements or participations with real estate developers, owners and other affiliated third parties for the purpose of developing, owning and operating real properties in accordance with our investment policies.  We currently own interests in five properties through such third party joint venture arrangements.  In determining whether to invest in a particular joint venture, our General Partners will evaluate the real property that such joint venture owns or is being formed to own under the same criteria used for the selection of real property investments.  For more information on these criteria, see “Business — Acquisition and Investment Policies” and “Business — Conflicts of Interest.”

We may enter into a partnership, joint venture or co-tenancy with unrelated parties if:

·                  the management of such partnership, joint venture or co-tenancy is under our control in that we or one of our affiliates possess the power to direct or to cause the direction of the management and policies of any such partnership, joint venture or co-tenancy;

·                  we, as a result of such joint ownership of a property, are not charged, directly or indirectly, more than once for the same services;

·                  the joint ownership, partnership or co-tenancy agreement does not authorize or require us to do anything as a partner, joint venturer or co-tenant with respect to the property that we or our General Partners could not do directly under our Partnership Agreement; and

·                  our General Partners and their affiliates are prohibited from receiving any compensation, fees or expenses that are not permitted to be paid under our Partnership Agreement.

In the event that any such co-ownership arrangement contains a provision giving each party a right of first refusal to purchase the other party’s interest, we may not have sufficient capital to finance the buy-out.

We intend to enter into joint ventures with other Behringer Harvard programs for the acquisition of properties, but we may only do so provided that:

·                  each such program has substantially identical investment objectives as ours with respect to the property held in the partnership or joint venture;

·                  we, as a result of such joint ownership of a property, are not charged, directly or indirectly, more than once for the same services;

·                  the compensation payable to our General Partners and their affiliates is substantially identical in each program;

·                  we will have a right of first refusal to buy if such co-venturer elects to sell its interest in the property held by the joint venture; and

·                  the investments by us and such other programs are on substantially the same terms and conditions.

In the event that the co-venturer elects to sell property held in any such joint venture, however, we may not have sufficient funds to exercise our right of first refusal.  In the event that any joint venture with an affiliated entity holds interests in more than one property, the interest in each such property may be specially allocated based upon the respective proportion of funds invested by each co-venturer in each such property.  Entering into joint ventures with other Behringer Harvard programs will result in certain conflicts of interest.  See “Business — Conflicts of Interest.”

Our General Partners may be presented with an opportunity to purchase all or a portion of a mixed-use property.  In such instances, it is possible that our General Partners would work in concert with other Behringer Harvard programs to apportion the assets within the property among us and the other Behringer Harvard programs in accordance with the investment objectives of the various programs.  After such apportionment, the mixed-use property would be owned by two or more Behringer Harvard programs or joint ventures comprised of Behringer Harvard programs.  The negotiation of how to divide the property among the various Behringer Harvard programs will not be arm’s-length and conflicts of interest will arise in the process.  It is possible that in connection with the purchase of a mixed-use property or in the course of negotiations with other Behringer Harvard programs to allocate portions of such mixed-use property, we may be required to purchase a property that our General Partners would otherwise consider inappropriate for our portfolio, in order to also purchase a property that our General Partners consider desirable.  Although independent appraisals of the assets comprising the mixed-use property will be conducted prior to apportionment, it is possible that we could pay more for an asset in this type of transaction than we would pay in an arm’s-length transaction with an unaffiliated third party.

Borrowing Policies

We intend to use debt secured by real estate as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition of properties and the diversification of our portfolio.  By operating on a leveraged basis, management expects that we will have more funds available for investment in properties and other investments.  This will enable us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a more diversified portfolio.  Most of our borrowings are on a recourse basis to us, meaning that the liability for repayment is not limited to any particular asset.  Furthermore, the use of leverage increases the risk of default on the mortgage payments and a subsequent foreclosure of a particular property.

There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single improved property or other asset or on the amount we can borrow for the purchase of any single property or other investment.  Our Partnership Agreement authorizes us to borrow funds to the extent permissible under applicable North American Securities Administrators Association (“NASAA”) Guidelines.  These borrowing limitations became applicable after the termination of the Offering on February 19, 2005.  Thus, during the Offering, we were able to borrow funds in any amount necessary to enable us to invest the proceeds of the Offering in properties.  However, because we do not expect to have any loans insured, guaranteed or provided by the federal government or any state or local government or agency or instrumentality thereof, the total amount of indebtedness that may be incurred by us can not exceed at any time the sum of (i) 85% of the aggregate purchase price of all of our properties that have not been refinanced, plus (ii) 85% of the aggregate fair value of all of our refinanced properties as determined by the lender on the date of refinancing.  We expect but cannot assure that, at any time, the total amount of indebtedness incurred will not exceed 75% of our aggregate asset value.

When financing the purchase of properties, we may use “all-inclusive” or “wraparound” notes and deeds of trust (referred to as an “all-inclusive note”).  We will only utilize such all-inclusive notes if:  (i) the sponsor (as defined pursuant to the NASAA Guidelines) under the all-inclusive note shall not receive interest on the amount of the underlying encumbrance included in the all-inclusive note in excess of that payable to the lender on that underlying encumbrance; (ii) the partnership shall receive credit on its obligation under the all-inclusive note for payments made directly on the underlying encumbrance; and (iii) a paying agent, ordinarily a bank, escrow company, or savings and loan, shall collect payments (other than any initial payment of prepaid interest or loan points not to be applied to the underlying encumbrance) on the all-inclusive note and make disbursements from such payments to the holder of the underlying encumbrance prior to making any disbursement to the holder of the all-inclusive note, subject to the requirements of subparagraph (i) above, or, in the alternative, all payments on the all-inclusive and underlying note shall be made directly by the Partnership.

We may borrow funds from our General Partners or their affiliates only if the following qualifications are met:

·                  any such borrowing cannot constitute a “financing” as that term is defined under the NASAA Guidelines, i.e., indebtedness encumbering Partnership properties or incurred by the Partnership, the principal amount of which is scheduled to be paid over a period of not less than 48 months, and not more than 50% of the principal amount of which is scheduled to be paid during the first 24 months;

·                  interest and other financing charges or fees must not exceed the amounts that would be charged by unrelated lending institutions on comparable financing for the same purpose in the same locality as our principal place of business; and

·                  no prepayment charge or penalty shall be required.

While we will strive for diversification, the number of different properties that we can acquire is affected by the amount of funds available to us.  Our ability to increase our diversification through borrowing could be adversely impacted if banks and other lending institutions reduce the amount of funds available for loans secured by real estate.  When interest rates on mortgage loans are high or financing is otherwise unavailable on a timely basis, we may purchase certain properties for cash with the intention of obtaining a mortgage loan for a portion of the purchase price at a later time.

We will refinance our properties during the term of a loan only in limited circumstances, such as when a decline in interest rates makes it beneficial to prepay an existing mortgage, when an existing mortgage matures or if an attractive investment becomes available and the proceeds from the refinancing can be used to purchase such investment.  The benefits of the refinancing may include an increased cash flow resulting from reduced debt service requirements, an increase in cash distributions from proceeds of the refinancing, and an increase in property ownership if refinancing proceeds are reinvested in real estate.

Conflicts of Interest

We are subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our General Partners and their affiliates, including conflicts related to the arrangements pursuant to which our General Partners and their affiliates will be

9




compensated by us.  All of our agreements and arrangements with our General Partners and their affiliates, including those relating to compensation, are not the result of arm’s-length negotiations.  Some of the conflicts of interest in our transactions with our General Partners and their affiliates are described below.

Our General Partners are Robert M. Behringer and Behringer Advisors II.  Mr. Behringer owns a controlling interest in Behringer Holdings, a Delaware limited liability company that indirectly owns all of the outstanding equity interests of Behringer Advisors II, HPT Management, our property manager, and Behringer Securities LP (“Behringer Securities”), the dealer manager for the Offering.  Messrs. Behringer, Robert S. Aisner, Gerald J. Reihsen, III, Gary S. Bresky, M. Jason Mattox and Jon L. Dooley are the executive officers of Harvard Property Trust, LLC, the sole general partner of Behringer Advisors II, HPT Management and Behringer Securities.  In addition, Messrs. Behringer, Reihsen, Bresky and Mattox are executive officers of Behringer Securities.

Our General Partners are advised by our advisory board.  Although the members of the advisory board are not permitted to serve as a general partner, officer or employee of ours, Behringer Advisors II, our affiliates or affiliates of Behringer Advisors II, members of our advisory board may purchase or own securities of, or have other business relations with, such parties.  One of the members of the advisory board, Mr. Ralph G. Edwards, Jr., has been an investor in a number of real estate programs sponsored by Mr. Behringer.  All of such programs have been liquidated.  Another member of our advisory board, Mr. Patrick M. Arnold, has represented prior real estate programs sponsored by Mr. Behringer, and he or the law firm of which he is a partner has represented and is expected to continue to represent us and our affiliates with respect to the real estate transactions we enter into and other corporate matters.  Mr. Arnold also owns a nominal interest in Behringer Holdings.  Any prior or current relationship among us, our General Partners, and members of our advisory board may create conflicts of interest.  Because we were organized and will be operated by our General Partners, conflicts of interest will not be resolved through arm’s-length negotiations but through the exercise of our General Partners’ judgment consistent with their fiduciary responsibility to the limited partners and our investment objectives and policies.  For a description of some of the risks related to these conflicts of interest, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  For a discussion of the conflicts resolutions policies, see the Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Interests in Other Real Estate Programs

Our General Partners and their affiliates are general partners, executive officers or directors of other Behringer Harvard programs, including real estate programs that have investment objectives similar to ours, and we expect that they will organize other such programs in the future.  Our General Partners and such affiliates have legal and financial obligations with respect to these other programs that are similar to their obligations to us.  As general partners, they may have contingent liability for the obligations of programs structured as partnerships as well as our obligations, which, if such obligations were enforced against them, could result in substantial reduction of their net worth.

In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available that is suitable, under all of the factors considered by our General Partners, for both us and one or more other Behringer Harvard programs, and for which more than one of such entities has sufficient uninvested funds, then the entity that has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity will first be offered such investment opportunity.  It shall be the duty of our General Partners to ensure that this method is applied fairly to us.  In determining whether or not an investment opportunity is suitable for more than one program, our General Partners shall examine, among others, the following factors:

·                  the anticipated cash flow of the property to be acquired and the cash requirements of each program;

·                  the effect of the acquisition both on diversification of each program’s investment by type of property and geographic area and on diversification of the tenants of such properties;

·                  the income tax effects of the purchase on each such entity;

·                  the size of the investment;

·                  the amount of funds available to each program and the length of time such funds have been available for investment; and

·                  in the case of Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc., Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc. and Behringer Harvard Mid-Term Value Enhancement Fund I LP, the potential effect of leverage on such investment.

Mr. Behringer and his affiliates have sponsored other privately offered real estate programs with substantially similar investment objectives as ours, and which are still operating and may acquire additional properties in the future.  Conflicts of interest may arise between these entities and us.

Our General Partners or their affiliates may acquire, for their own account or for private placement, properties that they deem not suitable for purchase by us, whether because of the greater degree of risk, the complexity of structuring

10




inherent in such transactions, financing considerations or for other reasons, including properties with potential for attractive investment returns.

Other Activities of Our General Partners and Their Affiliates

We rely on our General Partners and their affiliates for the day-to-day operation of our business.  As a result of their interests in other Behringer Harvard programs and the fact that they have also engaged and will continue to engage in other business activities, our General Partners and their affiliates will have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between us and other Behringer Harvard programs and other activities in which they are involved.  In addition, our Partnership Agreement does not specify any minimum amount of time or level of attention that our General Partners must devote to us.  However, our General Partners believe that they and their affiliates have sufficient personnel to discharge fully their responsibilities to all of the Behringer Harvard programs and other ventures in which they are involved.

Generally, we will not purchase or lease any property in which the General Partners or any of their affiliates have an interest; provided, however, that our General Partners or any of their affiliates may temporarily enter into contracts relating to investments in properties to be assigned to us prior to closing or may purchase property in their own name and temporarily hold title for us, provided that such property is purchased by us at a price no greater than the cost of such property, including acquisition and carrying costs, to our General Partners or their affiliates.  Further, our General Partners or such affiliates may not have held title to any such property on our behalf for more than twelve months prior to the commencement of the Offering; our General Partners or their affiliates will not sell property to us if the cost of the property exceeds the funds reasonably anticipated to be available for us to purchase any such property; and all profits and losses during the period any such property is held by our General Partners or their affiliates will accrue to us.  In no event may we:

·                  sell or lease real property to our General Partners or any of their affiliates, except under limited circumstances permissible under the NASAA Guidelines;

·                  acquire property from any other program in which our General Partners have an interest;

·                  make loans to our General Partners or any of their affiliates; or

·                  enter into agreements with our General Partners or their affiliates for the provision of insurance covering us or any of our properties, except under the limited circumstances permissible under the NASAA Guidelines.

Competition in Acquiring Properties

Conflicts of interest will exist to the extent that we may acquire properties in the same geographic areas where properties owned by our General Partners, their affiliates or other Behringer Harvard programs are located.  In such a case, a conflict could arise in the leasing of our properties in the event that we and another Behringer Harvard program were to compete for the same tenants in negotiating leases, or a conflict could arise in connection with the resale of properties in the event that we and another Behringer Harvard program were to attempt to sell similar properties at the same time.  Conflicts of interest may also exist at such time as we or our affiliates managing property on our behalf seek to employ developers, contractors or building managers as well as under other circumstances.  Our General Partners will seek to reduce conflicts relating to the employment of developers, contractors or building managers by making prospective employees aware of all such properties seeking to employ such persons.  In addition, our General Partners will seek to reduce conflicts that may arise with respect to properties available for sale or rent by making prospective purchasers or tenants aware of all such properties.  However, these conflicts cannot be fully avoided in that there may be established differing compensation arrangements for employees at different properties or differing terms for resale or leasing of the various properties.

Affiliated Property Manager

We anticipate that properties we acquire will be managed and leased by HPT Management, our affiliated property manager.  Our agreement with HPT Management has a seven-year term ending in June 2010, which we can terminate only in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of HPT Management.  HPT Management also serves, and will continue to serve, as property manager for properties owned by affiliated real estate programs, some of which may be in competition with our properties.  Management fees to be paid to our property manager are based on a percentage of the rental income received by the managed properties.

Competition

We are subject to significant competition in seeking real estate investments and tenants.  We compete with many third parties engaged in real estate investment activities, including specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutional investors, investment banking firms, lenders, hedge funds, governmental bodies and other entities.  We also face competition from other real estate investment programs, including other Behringer Harvard programs, for investments that may be suitable for us.  Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we have and may have substantially more operating

11




experience than either us or our General Partners.  They also may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital.

Regulations

Our investments, as well as any investments that we may make, are subject to various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including, among other things, zoning regulations, land use controls, environmental controls relating to air and water quality, noise pollution and indirect environmental impacts such as increased motor vehicle activity.  We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our investments.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future.  However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on properties in which we hold an interest, or on properties that may be acquired directly or indirectly in the future.

Significant Tenants

As of December 31, 2006, two of our tenants accounted for 10% or more of our aggregate annual rental revenues from our consolidated properties.  CompUSA, Inc., a retailer of consumer electronics, leases 100% of a two-story office building located on approximately 8.6 acres of land in Dallas, Texas (“Landmark I”) and an additional two-story office building located on approximately 11.3 acres of land in Dallas, Texas (“Landmark II”) and accounted for rental revenue of approximately $6,000,000, or approximately 31% of our aggregate annual rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Citicorp North America, Inc. (“CitiCorp”), a global financial services company, leased 100% of a three-building office complex located in Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas (the “250/290 Carpenter Property”), and accounted for rental revenue of approximately $4,700,000, or approximately 24% of our aggregate annual rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006.  CitiCorp terminated their lease effective June 30, 2006 and paid an early termination fee of approximately $1,810,000, which is included in rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Employees

We have no direct employees.  The employees of affiliates of Behringer Advisors II perform a full range of real estate services for us, including acquisitions, property management, accounting, legal, asset management, wholesale brokerage and investor relations.

We are dependent on our affiliates for services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition and disposition decisions, property management and leasing services and other general and administrative responsibilities.  In the event that these companies were unable to provide these services to us, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

Our current business consists only of owning, managing, operating, leasing, acquiring, developing, investing in and disposing of real estate assets.  We internally evaluate all of our real estate assets as one industry segment, and, accordingly, we do not report segment information.

Available Information

We electronically file an annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Copies of our filings with the SEC may be obtained from the web site maintained for us by our advisor at http://www.behringerharvard.com or at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.  Access to these filings is free of charge.  We are not incorporating our website or any information from the website into this Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risks Related to an Investment in Behringer Harvard Short-Term Fund I LP

The factors described below represent our principal risks.  Other factors may exist that we do not consider to be significant based on information that is currently available or that we are not currently able to anticipate.

There is no public trading market for our units, therefore it will be difficult for limited partners to sell their units.

There is no public trading market for the units, and we do not expect one to ever develop.  Our Partnership Agreement restricts our ability to participate in a public trading market or anything substantially equivalent to one by providing that any transfer that may cause us to be classified as a publicly traded partnership as defined in Section 7704 of

12




the Internal Revenue Code shall be deemed void and shall not be recognized by us.  Because classification of the Partnership as a publicly traded partnership may significantly decrease the value of the units, our General Partners intend to use their authority to the maximum extent possible to prohibit transfers of units that could cause us to be classified as a publicly traded partnership.  For these reasons, it will be difficult for our limited partners to sell their units.

Our units have limited transferability and lack liquidity.

Except for certain intra-family transfers, limited partners are limited in their ability to transfer their units.  Our Partnership Agreement and certain state regulatory agencies have imposed restrictions relating to the number of units limited partners may transfer.  In addition, the suitability standards imposed on prospective investors also apply to potential subsequent purchasers of our units.  If limited partners are able to find a buyer for their units, they may not sell their units to such buyer unless the buyer meets the suitability standards applicable to him or her.  Accordingly, it will be difficult for limited partners to sell their units promptly or at all.  Limited partners may not be able to sell their units in the event of an emergency, and if they are able to sell their units, they may have to sell them at a substantial discount.  It is also likely that the units would not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan.

If we, through our General Partners, are unable to find suitable investments, then we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives or pay distributions.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions is dependent upon the performance of our General Partners in the acquisition of our investments, the selection of tenants and the determination of any financing arrangements.  Generally, investors will have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our investments.  Investors must rely entirely on the management ability of our General Partners.  We cannot be sure that our General Partners will be successful in obtaining suitable investments on financially attractive terms or that, if they make investments on our behalf, our objectives will be achieved.

We have acquired, and anticipate acquiring, a large percentage of our properties in the Southwest United States, particularly in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area.  As a result of this limited diversification of the geographic locations of our properties, our operating results will be affected by economic changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market in that area.

Many of the properties that we have acquired using the proceeds of the Offering have thus far been located in the Southwest United States, more specifically, in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area.  Consequently, because of the lack of geographic diversity among our current and potentially future assets, our operating results and ability to pay distributions are likely to be impacted by economic changes affecting the real estate market in the Dallas, Texas area.  An investment in our units will be subject to greater risk to the extent that we lack a geographically diversified portfolio of properties.

The prior performance of real estate investment programs sponsored by affiliates of our General Partners may not be an indication of our future results.

Investors should not rely upon the past performance of other real estate investment programs sponsored by Mr. Behringer, our individual general partner, or his affiliates to predict our future results.  To be successful in this market, we must, among other things:

·                  identify and acquire investments that further our investment strategies;

·                  increase awareness of the Behringer Harvard name within the investment products market;

·                  establish and maintain our network of licensed securities brokers and other agents;

·                  attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified personnel to manage our day-to-day operations;

·                  respond to competition both for investment properties and potential investors in us; and

·                  continue to build and expand our operations structure to support our business.

We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving these goals, and our failure to do so could cause investors to lose all or a portion of their investment.

If we lose or are unable to obtain key personnel, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of certain key personnel of the general partner of Behringer Advisors II, Harvard Property Trust, LLC, including Mr. Behringer, who would be difficult to replace.  Although Harvard Property Trust, LLC has employment agreements with key personnel of the general partner, these

13




agreements are terminable at will, and we cannot guarantee that such persons will remain affiliated with Harvard Property Trust, LLC or us.  If any of Harvard Property Trust, LLC’s key personnel were to cease employment, our operating results could suffer.  The indirect parent company of Behringer Advisors II, Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC, has obtained key person life insurance on the life of Mr. Behringer and is in the process of obtaining key person life insurance on the lives of Messrs. Aisner, Reihsen, Bresky, Mattox and Jeffrey S. Schwaber.  We do not intend to separately maintain key person life insurance on Mr. Behringer or any other person.  We believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon Harvard Property Trust, LLC’s ability to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel.  Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure limited partners that Harvard Property Trust, LLC will be successful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel.  Further, our General Partners intend to establish strategic relationships with firms that have special expertise in certain services or as to real properties in certain geographic regions.  Maintaining such relationships will be important for us to effectively compete with other investors for properties in such regions.  We cannot assure limited partners that our General Partners will be successful in attracting and retaining such relationships.  If we lose or are unable to obtain the services of key personnel or do not establish or maintain appropriate strategic relationships, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered.

Robert M. Behringer has a dominant role in determining what is in our best interests and therefore we will not have the benefit of independent consideration of issues affecting our Partnership operations.

Mr. Behringer is one of our general partners.  Our other general partner is Behringer Advisors II.  Behringer Advisors II is managed by its general partner, Harvard Property Trust, LLC, for which Mr. Behringer serves as Chief Executive Officer and sole manager.  Therefore, Mr. Behringer has a dominant role in determining what is in the best interests of us and our limited partners.  Since no person other than Mr. Behringer has any direct control over our management, we do not have the benefit of independent consideration of issues affecting our Partnership operations.  Therefore, Mr. Behringer alone will determine the propriety of his own actions, which could result in a conflict of interest when he is faced with any significant decision relating to our Partnership affairs.  We have established an advisory board to review our investments and make recommendations to our General Partners.  Although it is not anticipated that our General Partners will determine to make or dispose of investments on our behalf contrary to the recommendation of our advisory board, our General Partners are not required to follow the advice or recommendations of the advisory board.

Our General Partners have a limited net worth consisting of assets that are not liquid, which may adversely affect the ability of our General Partners to fulfill their financial obligations to us.

The net worth of our General Partners consists primarily of interests in real estate, retirement plans, partnerships and closely-held businesses.  Accordingly, the net worth of our General Partners is illiquid and not readily marketable.  This illiquidity, and the fact that our General Partners have commitments to other Behringer Harvard programs, may adversely affect the ability of our General Partners to fulfill their financial obligations to us.

Our rights and the rights of our limited partners to recover claims against our General Partners are limited.

Our Partnership Agreement provides that our General Partners will have no liability for any action or failure to act that the General Partners in good faith determine was in our best interest, provided their action or failure to act did not constitute negligence or misconduct.  As a result, we and our limited partners may have more limited rights against our General Partners than might otherwise exist under common law.  In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our General Partners in some cases.

Our units are generally not suitable for IRAs and other retirement plans subject to ERISA.

Because our intended operations will likely give rise to unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”), our units are generally not an appropriate investment vehicle for IRAs and retirement plans subject to ERISA.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

We will be subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with our General Partners and their affiliates, including the material conflicts discussed below.

Our General Partners will face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of properties, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.

We may be buying properties at the same time as one or more of the other Behringer Harvard programs managed by our General Partners and their affiliates are buying properties.  There is a risk that our General Partners will choose a property that provides lower returns to us than a property purchased by another Behringer Harvard program.  We cannot be sure that our General Partners acting on our behalf and on behalf of managers of other Behringer Harvard programs will act in our best interests when deciding whether to allocate any particular property to us.  In addition, we may acquire properties in geographic areas where other Behringer Harvard programs own properties.  If one of the other Behringer Harvard programs attracts a tenant that we are competing for, we could suffer a loss of revenue due to delays in locating another

14




suitable tenant.  Investors will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which these conflicts of interest are resolved before or after making their investment.

Our General Partners will face conflicts of interest relating to the incentive fee structure under our Partnership Agreement that could result in actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interests of our limited partners.

Under our Partnership Agreement, our General Partners are entitled to fees that are structured in a manner intended to provide incentives to our General Partners to perform in our best interests and in the best interests of our limited partners.  However, because our General Partners’ participation in our distributions of cash from operations and sale proceeds is subordinate to the preferred return of the limited partners, our General Partners’ interests are not wholly aligned with those of our limited partners.  In that regard, our General Partners could be motivated to recommend riskier or more speculative investments in order to generate proceeds that would entitle our General Partners to participating distributions.  In addition, our General Partners’ entitlement to real estate commissions upon the resale of our properties could result in our General Partners recommending sales of our investments at the earliest possible time in order to entitle them to compensation relating to such sales, even if continued ownership of those investments might be in our best long-term interest.

Our General Partners will face conflicts of interest relating to joint ventures, which could result in a disproportionate benefit to a Behringer Harvard program or third party other than us.

We may enter into joint ventures with other Behringer Harvard sponsored programs or other third parties having investment objectives similar to ours for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties.  We may also purchase and develop properties in joint ventures or in partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with the sellers of the properties, affiliates of the sellers, developers or other persons.  Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment in real estate, including, for example:

·                  the possibility that our co-venturer, co-tenant or partner in an investment might become bankrupt;

·                  that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals which are or which become inconsistent with our business interests or goals; or

·                  that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives.

Actions by such a co-venturer, co-tenant or partner might have the result of subjecting the property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and may have the effect of reducing limited partners returns.

Affiliates of our General Partners have sponsored, or are currently sponsoring registered public offerings on behalf of Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc., Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc., and the Behringer Harvard Mid-Term Value Enhancement Fund I LP.  Mr. Behringer and his affiliate, Behringer Harvard Advisors I LP (an entity that is under common control with our general partner, Behringer Advisors II), act as general partners of the Behringer Harvard Mid-Term Value Enhancement Fund I LP, and Mr. Behringer serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of both Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc. and Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc.  Because our General Partners or their affiliates have advisory and management arrangements with other Behringer Harvard programs, it is likely that they will encounter opportunities to acquire or sell properties to the benefit of one of the Behringer Harvard programs, but not others.  Our General Partners or their affiliates may make decisions to buy or sell certain properties, which decisions might disproportionately benefit a Behringer Harvard program other than us.  In such event, our results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our limited partners could be adversely affected.

If we enter into a joint venture with another Behringer Harvard program or joint venture, our General Partners may have a conflict of interest when determining when and whether to buy or sell a particular real estate property, and limited partners may face certain additional risks.  For example, if we joint venture with a Behringer Harvard real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that subsequently becomes listed on a national exchange, such REIT would automatically become a perpetual life entity at the time of listing and might not continue to have similar goals and objectives with respect to the resale of properties as it had prior to being listed.  In addition, if that Behringer Harvard REIT was not listed on a securities exchange by the time set forth in its charter, its organizational documents might provide for an immediate liquidation of its assets.  In the event of such liquidation, any joint venture between us and that Behringer Harvard REIT might also be required to sell its properties at such time even though we may not otherwise desire to do so.  Although the terms of any joint venture agreement between us and another Behringer Harvard program would grant us a right of first refusal to buy such properties, it is unlikely that we would have sufficient funds to exercise our right of first refusal under these circumstances.

Since our General Partners and their affiliates would control us and would either control or serve as advisor to the other Behringer Harvard program, agreements and transactions between the parties with respect to any joint venture between or among such parties will not have the benefit of arm’s length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers.  Under these joint venture arrangements, neither co-venturer may have the power to control the venture, and under certain circumstances, an impasse could be reached regarding matters pertaining to the joint venture, which might have

15




a negative influence on the joint venture and decrease potential returns to limited partners.  In the event that a co-venturer has a right of first refusal to buy out the other co-venturer, it may be unable to finance such buy-out at that time.  It may also be difficult for us to sell our interest in any such joint venture or partnership or as a co-tenant in property.  In addition, to the extent that our co-venturer, partner or co-tenant is an affiliate of our General Partners, certain conflicts of interest will exist.

Our General Partners and certain of their key personnel will face competing demands relating to their time, and this may cause our investment returns to suffer.

Our General Partners and certain of their key personnel and their respective affiliates are general partners and sponsors of other real estate programs having investment objectives and legal and financial obligations similar to ours and may have other business interests as well.  Because these persons have competing interests on their time and resources, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities.  During times of intense activity in other programs and ventures, they may devote less time and resources to our business than is necessary or appropriate.  If this occurs, the returns on our investments may suffer.

There is no separate counsel for us and our affiliates, which could result in conflicts of interest.

Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP acts as legal counsel to us, and is also expected to represent our General Partners and some of their affiliates from time to time.  There is a possibility in the future that the interests of the various parties may become adverse and, under the Code of Professional Responsibility of the legal profession, Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP may be precluded from representing any one or all of such parties.  If any situation arises in which our interests appear to be in conflict with those of our General Partners or their affiliates, additional counsel may be retained by one or more of the parties to assure that their interests are adequately protected.  Moreover, should such a conflict not be readily apparent, or otherwise not recognized, Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP may inadvertently act in derogation of the interest of the parties which could affect us and, therefore, our limited partners’ ability to meet our investment objectives.

Risks Related to Our Business in General

The Texas Revised Limited Partnership Act (TRLPA) does not grant limited partners any voting rights, and limited partners’ rights are limited under our Partnership Agreement.

A vote of a majority of the units of limited partnership interest is sufficient to take the following actions:

·                  to amend our Partnership Agreement;

·                  to dissolve and terminate the Partnership;

·                  to remove our General Partners; and

·                  to authorize a merger or a consolidation of the Partnership.

These are the only significant voting rights granted to our limited partners under our Partnership Agreement.  In addition, TRLPA does not grant limited partners any specific voting rights.  Therefore, limited partners’ voting rights in our operations are limited.

Our General Partners will make all decisions with respect to our management and determine all of our major policies, including our financing, growth, investment strategies and distributions.  Our General Partners may revise these and other policies without a vote of the limited partners.  Therefore, limited partners will be relying almost entirely on our General Partners for our management and the operation of our business.  Our General Partners may only be removed under certain conditions, as set forth in our Partnership Agreement.  If our General Partners are removed, they will receive payment equal to the fair market value of their interests in us as agreed upon by our General Partners and us, or by arbitration if we are unable to agree.

Limited partners will have limited voting rights, and will be bound by the majority vote on matters on which they are entitled to vote.

Our Partnership Agreement provides that limited partners may vote on only a few operational matters, including the removal of our General Partners.  However, limited partners will be bound by the majority vote on matters requiring approval of a majority of the units of limited partnership interest even if they do not vote with the majority on any such matter.  Therefore, limited partners will have little to no control over our day-to-day operations.

Limited partners are unable to sell their units pursuant to our redemption program after December 31, 2006.

Our General Partners decided to terminate our unit redemption program effective December 31, 2006.  As such, the ability of limited partners to dispose of their investments in the Partnership is severely limited.

Payment of fees to our General Partners and their affiliates will reduce cash available for investment and distribution.

Our General Partners and their affiliates will perform services for us in connection with the offer and sale of the units, the selection and acquisition of our investments, and the management and leasing of our properties and the administration of our other investments.  They will be paid substantial fees for these services, which will reduce the amount of cash available for investment in properties or distribution to limited partners.

The distributions we pay to our limited partners are not necessarily indicative of our current or future operating results and there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve expected cash flows necessary to continue to pay or maintain cash distributions at any particular level, or that distributions will increase over time.

There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions to limited partners.  Distributions will be based principally on cash available from our properties, real estate securities and other investments.  We expect to distribute net cash from operations and nonliquidating sales of properties to limited partners.  However, our General Partners, in their discretion, may defer fees payable by us to the General Partners, allowing for more cash to be available to us for distribution to our limited partners.  In addition, our General Partners may make supplemental payments to us or our limited partners, or otherwise support our operations to the extent not prohibited under the NASAA Guidelines, which would permit distributions to our limited partners in excess of net cash from operations.  The amount of cash available for distributions will be affected by many factors, such as our ability to buy properties, the yields on securities of other real estate programs which we invest, and our operating expense levels, as well as many other variables.  Actual cash available for distributions may vary substantially from estimates.  We currently pay monthly distributions at an annualized rate of 3%.  Such distributions are not necessarily indicative of current or future operating results and we can give no assurance that we will be able to maintain distributions at the current rate or that distributions will increase over time.  Nor can we give any assurance that rents or other income from our investments will increase, that the investments we make will increase in value or provide constant or increased distributions over time, or that future acquisitions of real properties, mortgage loans or our investments in securities will increase our cash available for distributions to limited partners.  Our actual results may differ significantly from the assumptions used by our General Partners in establishing the distribution rate to limited partners.

Many of the factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions to limited partners are beyond our control, and a change in any one factor could adversely affect our ability to pay future distributions.  For instance:

·                  If one or more tenants defaults or terminates its lease, there could be a decrease or cessation of rental payments, which would mean less cash available for distributions.

·                  Cash available for distributions would be reduced if we are required to spend money to correct defects or to make improvements to properties.

·                  Cash available to make distributions may decrease if the assets we acquire have lower yields than expected.

·                  If we borrow funds from third parties, more of our cash on hand will be needed to make debt payments, and cash available for distributions may therefore decrease.

In addition, our General Partners, in their discretion, may retain any portion of our cash on hand for working capital.  We cannot assure limited partners that sufficient cash will be available to pay distributions to them.

Adverse economic conditions will negatively affect our returns and profitability.

The length and severity of any economic downturn cannot be predicted.  In addition, our operating results may be affected by the following market and economic challenges:

·                  Poor economic times may result in defaults by tenants of our properties.

·                  Job transfers and layoffs may cause vacancies to increase.

·                  Increasing concessions or reduced rental rates may be required to maintain occupancy levels.

·                  Increased insurance premiums may reduce funds available for distribution or, to the extent such increases are passed through to tenants, may lead to tenant defaults.  Also, increased insurance premiums may make it difficult to increase rents to tenants on turnover, which may adversely affect our ability to increase our returns.

In addition, there is a risk that depressed economic conditions could cause cash flow and appreciation upon the sale of our properties, if any, to be insufficient to allow sufficient cash remaining after payment of our expenses for a significant return on an investment.  Our operations could be negatively affected to the extent that an economic downturn is prolonged or becomes more severe.

17




Gains and distributions upon resale of our properties are uncertain.

Although gains from the sales of properties typically represent a substantial portion of any profits attributable to a real estate investment, we cannot assure investors that we will realize any gains on the resales of our properties.  In any event, investors should not expect distribution of such proceeds to occur during the early years of our operations.  Although we are currently preparing and assessing properties for potential sale, we are not required to do so, and receipt of the full proceeds of any such sales may be extended over a substantial period of time following the sales.  In addition, the amount of taxable gain allocated to investors with respect to the sale of a Partnership property could exceed the cash proceeds received from such sale.

Proceeds from the sale of a property will generally be distributed to investors.  The General Partners, in their sole discretion, may determine not to make such distribution if such proceeds are used to:

·                  purchase land underlying any of our properties;

·                  buy out the interest of any co-venturer or joint venture partner in a property that is jointly owned;

·                  create working capital reserves;

·                  make capital improvements to our existing properties; or

·                  invest in additional properties if a sufficient period of time remains prior to our intended termination date to allow such additional investments to satisfy our investment objectives.

The reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of our properties will not occur, however, unless sufficient cash will be distributed to investors to pay any federal or state income tax liability created by the sale of the property, assuming investors will be subject to a 30% combined federal and state tax rate.

If we sell any of our properties in tenant-in-common transactions, those sales may be viewed as sales of securities, and we would retain potential liability after the sale under applicable securities laws.

We may sell properties in tenant-in-common transactions.  If we do make such sales, they may be viewed as sales of securities, and as a result if the purchasers in the tenant-in-common transaction had post-closing claims, they could bring claims under applicable securities laws.  Those claims could have a material adverse effect upon our business and results of operations.

General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate

Our operating results will be affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market in general, and we cannot assure investors that we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our real estate properties.

Our operating results will be subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including:

·                  changes in general economic or local conditions;

·                  changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;

·                  changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds that may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive;

·                  changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws; and

·                  periods of high interest rates and tight money supply.

For these and other reasons, we cannot assure investors that we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our real estate properties.

Properties that have significant vacancies could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on an investment.

A property may incur vacancies either by the continued default of tenants under their leases or the expiration of tenant leases.  If vacancies continue for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash to be distributed to limited partners.  In addition, the resale value of the property could be diminished because the market value of a particular property will depend principally upon the value of the leases of such property.

We are dependent on tenants for our revenue, and lease terminations could reduce our distributions to our limited partners.

The success of our real property investments, particularly properties occupied by a single tenant, is materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants.  Lease payment defaults by tenants could cause us to reduce the amount of

18




distributions to limited partners.  A default by a significant tenant on its lease payments to us would cause us to lose the revenue associated with such lease and cause us to have to find an alternative source of revenue to meet mortgage payments and prevent a foreclosure if the property is subject to a mortgage.  In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-letting our property.  If significant leases are terminated, we cannot assure investors that we will be able to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss.

We may be unable to secure funds for future tenant improvements, which could adversely impact our ability to pay cash distributions to our limited partners.

When tenants do not renew their leases or otherwise vacate their space, it is usual that, in order to attract replacement tenants, we will be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and tenant refurbishments to the vacated space.  If we have insufficient working capital reserves, we will have to obtain financing from other sources.  We intend to establish initial working capital reserves of 1% of the contract price of the properties we acquire.  If these reserves or any reserves otherwise established are insufficient to meet our cash needs, we may have to obtain financing from either affiliated or unaffiliated sources to fund our cash requirements.  We cannot assure investors that sufficient financing will be available or, if available, will be available on economically feasible terms or on terms acceptable to us.  Our Partnership Agreement imposes certain limits on our ability to borrow money.  Any borrowing will require us to pay interest expense, and therefore our financial condition and our ability to pay cash distributions to our limited partners may be adversely affected.

We may be unable to sell a property if or when we decide to do so, which could adversely impact our ability to pay cash distributions to our limited partners.

The real estate market is affected, as set forth above, by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control.  We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us.  We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property.  If we are unable to sell a property when we determine to do so, it could have a significant adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations.

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage may adversely affect investors’ returns.

Our General Partners will attempt to ensure that all of our properties are adequately insured to cover casualty losses.  However, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, which are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments.  Insurance risks associated with potential terrorism acts could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims.  Additionally, mortgage lenders in some cases have begun to insist that specific coverage against terrorism be purchased by commercial property owners as a condition for providing mortgage loans.  It is uncertain whether such insurance policies will be available, or available at reasonable cost, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties.  In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses.  We cannot assure investors that we will have adequate coverage for such losses.  In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss which is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss.  In addition, other than the working capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured damaged property, and we cannot assure limited partners that any such sources of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future.  Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, we could suffer reduced earnings that would result in less cash available for distribution to limited partners.

Our operating results may be negatively affected by potential development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks.

We have invested some of the proceeds available for investment in the acquisition and development of properties upon which we will develop and construct improvements at a fixed contract price.  We are subject to risks relating to uncertainties associated with re-zoning for development and environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups and our builder’s ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables.  The builder’s failure to perform may necessitate legal action by us to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance.  Performance may also be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the builder’s control.  Delays in completion of construction could also give tenants the right to terminate preconstruction leases for space at a newly developed project.  We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to such builders prior to completion of construction.  These and other such factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment.  In addition, we will be subject to normal lease-up risks relating to newly constructed projects.  Furthermore, we must rely upon projections of rental income and expenses and estimates of the fair market value of property upon

19




completion of construction when agreeing upon a price to be paid for the property at the time of acquisition of the property.  If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property, and our return on our investment could suffer.

In addition, we have invested in unimproved real property.  Returns from development of unimproved properties are also subject to risks and uncertainties associated with re-zoning the land for development and environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups.  Although our intention is to limit any investment in unimproved property to property we intend to develop, an investment nevertheless is subject to the risks associated with investments in unimproved real property.

If we contract with Behringer Development for newly developed property, we cannot guarantee that our earnest money deposit made to Behringer Development will be fully refunded.

We may enter into one or more contracts, either directly or indirectly through joint ventures with affiliates or others, to acquire real property from Behringer Development, an affiliate of our General Partners.  Properties acquired from Behringer Development may be either existing income-producing properties, properties to be developed or properties under development.  We anticipate that we will be obligated to pay a substantial earnest money deposit at the time of contracting to acquire such properties.  In the case of properties to be developed by Behringer Development, we anticipate that we will be required to close the purchase of the property upon completion of the development of the property by Behringer Development.  At the time of contracting and the payment of the earnest money deposit by us, Behringer Development typically will not have acquired title to any real property.  Typically, Behringer Development will only have a contract to acquire land, a development agreement to develop a building on the land and an agreement with one or more tenants to lease all or part of the property upon its completion.  We will not be required to close a purchase from Behringer Development, and will be entitled to a refund of our earnest money, in the following circumstances:

·                  Behringer Development fails to develop the property;

·                  all or a specified portion of the pre-leased tenants fail to take possession under their leases for any reason; or

·                  we have insufficient proceeds from our offering to pay the purchase price at closing.

The obligation of Behringer Development to refund our earnest money will be unsecured, and no assurance can be made that we would be able to obtain a refund of such earnest money deposit from it under these circumstances since Behringer Development is an entity without substantial assets or operations.  However, Behringer Development’s obligation to refund our earnest money deposit will be guaranteed by HPT Management, our property manager, which enters into contracts to provide property management and leasing services to various Behringer Harvard programs, including us, for substantial monthly fees.  As of the time HPT Management may be required to perform under any guaranty, we cannot assure limited partners that HPT Management will have sufficient assets to refund all of our earnest money deposit in a lump sum payment.  If we were forced to collect our earnest money deposit by enforcing the guaranty of HPT Management, we will likely be required to accept installment payments over time payable out of the revenues of HPT Management’s operations.  We cannot assure limited partners that we would be able to collect the entire amount of our earnest money deposit under such circumstances.

Competition with third parties in acquiring properties may reduce our profitability and the return on an investment.

We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, REITs, other real estate limited partnerships, and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, many of which have greater resources than we do. Larger real estate programs may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies.  In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable properties may increase.  Any such increase would result in increased demand for these assets and therefore increased prices paid for them.  If we pay higher prices for properties and other investments, our profitability will be reduced and limited partners may experience a lower return on their investment.

Uncertain market conditions and the broad discretion of our General Partners relating to the future disposition of properties could adversely affect the return on an investment.

We intend to hold the various real properties in which we invest until such time as our General Partners determine that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that such objectives will not be met.  Our General Partners may exercise their discretion as to whether and when to sell a property, and we will have no obligation to sell properties at any particular time, except upon our liquidation.  We cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future.  Although we generally intend to hold properties for three to five years from the termination of the Offering in February 2005, due to the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect the future disposition of our properties, we cannot assure limited partners that we will be able to sell our properties at a profit in the future.  Accordingly, the extent to which investors will

20




receive cash distributions and realize potential appreciation on our real estate investments will be dependent upon fluctuating market conditions.

If we set aside insufficient working capital reserves, we may be required to defer necessary property improvements.

If we do not estimate enough reserves for working capital to supply needed funds for capital improvements throughout the life of the investment in a property, we may be required to defer necessary improvements to the property that may cause the property to suffer from a greater risk of obsolescence or a decline in value, or a greater risk of decreased cash flow as a result of fewer potential tenants being attracted to the property.  If this happens, we may not be able to maintain projected rental rates for affected properties, and our results of operations may be negatively impacted.

The costs of compliance with environmental laws and other governmental laws and regulations may adversely affect our income and the cash available for any distributions.

All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety.  These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals.  Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or operators for the costs of investigation or remediation of contaminated properties, regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal.  In addition, the presence of these substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent such property or to use the property as collateral for future borrowing.

Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates.  Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require material expenditures by us.  We cannot assure limited partners that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability, or that the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by the operations of the tenants, by the existing condition of the land, by operations in the vicinity of the properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or by the activities of unrelated third parties.  In addition, there are various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations that we may be required to comply with, and which may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance.

Discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous conditions may adversely affect our operating results.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property.  The costs of removal or remediation could be substantial.  Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.  Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures.  Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties.  Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances.  The cost of defending against claims of liability, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could materially adversely affect our business, assets or results of operations and, consequently, amounts available for distribution.

Our costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may affect cash available for distributions.

Our properties may be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (the “Disabilities Act”).  Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons.  The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities.  The Disabilities Act’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages.  We will attempt to acquire properties that comply with the Disabilities Act or place the burden on the seller or other third party, such as a tenant, to ensure compliance with the Disabilities Act.  However, we cannot assure investors that we will be able to acquire properties or allocate responsibilities in this manner.  If we cannot, our funds used for Disabilities Act compliance may affect cash available for distributions and the amount of distributions, if any.

21




If we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk of default by the purchaser.

If we decide to sell any of our properties, we intend to use our best efforts to sell them for cash.  However, in some instances we may sell our properties by providing financing to purchasers.  When we provide financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk of default by the purchaser and will be subject to remedies provided by law, which could negatively impact our cash distributions to limited partners.  There are no limitations or restrictions on our ability to take purchase money obligations.  We may, therefore, take a purchase money obligation secured by a mortgage as part payment for the purchase price.  The terms of payment to us generally will be affected by custom in the area where the property being sold is located and the then-prevailing economic conditions.  If we receive promissory notes or other property in lieu of cash from property sales, the distribution of the proceeds of sales to our limited partners, or their reinvestment in other properties, will be delayed until the promissory notes or other property are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of.  In some cases, we may receive initial down payments in cash and other property in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years.  If any purchaser defaults under a financing arrangement with us, it could negatively impact our ability to pay cash distributions to limited partners.

We may have to make significant capital expenditures to maintain lodging facilities.

Hotels have an ongoing need for renovations and other capital improvements, including replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment.  Generally, we will be responsible for the costs of these capital improvements, which gives rise to the following risks:

·                  cost overruns and delays;

·                  renovations can be disruptive to operations and can displace revenue at the hotels, including revenue lost while rooms under renovation are out of service;

·                  the cost of funding renovations and the possibility that financing for these renovations may not be available on attractive terms; and

·                  the risk that the return on our investment in these capital improvements will be less than expected.

If we have insufficient cash flow from operations to fund needed capital expenditures, then we will need to borrow money to fund future capital improvements.

We are dependent on third-party managers of lodging facilities.

We depend on independent management companies to adequately operate our hotels and will depend on independent management companies for any additional lodging facilities we acquire.  We generally will not have the authority to require any hotel to be operated in a particular manner or to govern any particular aspect of the daily operations of any hotel (for instance, setting room rates).  Thus, even if we believe our hotels are being operated inefficiently or in a manner that does not result in satisfactory occupancy rates, revenue per available room and average daily rates, we may not be able to force the management company to change its method of operation of our hotels.  We can only seek redress if a management company violates the terms of the applicable management agreement, and then only to the extent of the remedies provided for under the terms of the management agreement.  In the event that we need to replace any of our management companies, we may be required by the terms of the management agreement to pay substantial termination fees and may experience significant disruptions at the affected hotels.

Risks Associated with Debt Financing

We will incur mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which may increase our business risks.

If it is determined to be in our best interests, we may, in some instances, acquire real properties by using either existing financing or borrowing new funds.  In addition, we may incur or increase our mortgage debt by obtaining loans secured by some or all of our real properties to obtain funds to acquire additional real properties.  We may incur mortgage debt on a particular real property if we believe the property’s projected cash flow is sufficient to service the mortgage debt.  However, if there is a shortfall in cash flow, then the amount available for distributions to limited partners may be affected.  In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders and our loss of the property securing the loan which is in default.  For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage.  If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds.  We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties.  When we give a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity.  If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, there is a risk that more than one real property may be affected by a default.  If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to our limited partners will be adversely affected.  Our approach to investing in properties utilizing

22




leverage in order to accomplish our investment objectives may present more risks to investors than comparable real estate programs which have a longer intended duration and which do not utilize borrowing to the same degree.

If mortgage debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance the properties, which could reduce the number of properties we can acquire and the amount of cash distributions we can make.

If we place mortgage debt on properties, we run the risk of being unable to refinance the properties when the loans come due, or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms.  If interest rates are higher when the properties are refinanced, we may not be able to finance the properties and our income could be reduced.  If this occurs, it would reduce cash available for distribution to our limited partners, and it may prevent us from borrowing more money.

Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants that may have an adverse effect on our operations.

In connection with obtaining certain financing, a lender could impose restrictions on us that affect our ability to incur additional debt and our distribution and operating policies.  Loan documents we enter into may contain customary negative covenants that may limit our ability to further mortgage the property, to discontinue insurance coverage, replace our General Partners or impose other limitations.  Any such restriction or limitation may have an adverse effect on our operations.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to our investors.

We may borrow money that bears interest at a variable rate.  In addition, from time to time we may pay mortgage loans or refinance our properties in a rising interest rate environment.  Accordingly, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating cash flow and our ability to pay distributions.  In addition, if rising interest rates cause us to need additional capital to repay indebtedness in accordance with its terms or otherwise, we may be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.

The aggregate amount we may borrow is limited under our Partnership Agreement, which may hinder our ability to secure additional funding when it is needed.

Our Partnership Agreement limits the aggregate amount we may borrow in accordance with the requirements of the NASAA Guidelines to the sum of (i) with respect to loans insured, guaranteed or provided by the federal government or any state or local government or agency, 100% of the aggregate purchase price of all of our properties which have not been refinanced plus 100% of the aggregate fair market value of all of our refinanced properties and (ii) with respect to other loans, the sum of 85% of the aggregate purchase price of all of our properties which have not been refinanced plus 85% of the aggregate fair market value of all of our refinanced properties.  That limitation could have adverse business consequences such as: (i) freezing our ability to purchase additional properties; (ii) causing operational problems if there were cash flow shortfalls for working capital purposes; and (iii) resulting in the loss of a property if, for example, financing were necessary to repay a default on a mortgage.

Federal Income Tax Risks

The Internal Revenue Service may challenge our characterization of material tax aspects of an investment in our units of limited partnership interest.

An investment in units involves material income tax risks.  Limited partners are urged to consult with their own tax advisor with respect to the federal, state and foreign tax considerations of an investment in our units.  We will not seek any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service regarding any of the tax issues discussed herein.  Further, although we have obtained an opinion from our counsel, Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP, regarding the material federal income tax issues relating to an investment in our units, investors should be aware that the this opinion represents only our counsel’s best legal judgment, based upon representations and assumptions referred to therein and conditioned upon the existence of certain facts.  Our counsel’s tax opinion has no binding effect on the Internal Revenue Service or any court.  Accordingly, we cannot assure investors that the conclusions reached in the tax opinion, if contested, would be sustained by any court.  In addition, our counsel is unable to form an opinion as to the probable outcome of the contest of certain material tax aspects including whether we will be characterized as a “dealer” so that sales of our assets would give rise to ordinary income rather than capital gain and whether we are required to qualify as a tax shelter under the Internal Revenue Code.  Our counsel also gives no opinion as to the tax considerations to investors of tax issues that have an impact at the individual or partner level.  Accordingly, investors are urged to consult with and rely upon their own tax advisors with respect to tax issues that have an impact at the partner or individual level.

Investors may realize taxable income without cash distributions, and may have to use funds from other sources to pay their tax liabilities.

As our limited partner, investors will be required to report their allocable share of our taxable income on their personal income tax return regardless of whether they have received any cash distributions from us.  It is possible that limited partnership units will be allocated taxable income in excess of their cash distributions.  Further, if investors participate in our distribution reinvestment and automatic purchase plan, they will be allocated their share of our net income, including net income allocable to units acquired pursuant to the distribution reinvestment and automatic purchase plan, even though they will receive no cash distributions from us.  In addition, if investors participate in our deferred commission option, they will be taxed on their share of income attributable to distributions used to satisfy their deferred commission option obligations.  We cannot assure investors that cash flow will be available for distribution in any year.  As a result, investors may have to use funds from other sources to pay their tax liability.

We could be characterized as a publicly traded partnership, which would have an adverse tax effect on investors.

If the Internal Revenue Service were to classify us as a publicly traded partnership, we could be taxable as a corporation, and distributions made to investors could be treated as portfolio income rather than passive income.  Our counsel has given its opinion that we will not be classified as a publicly traded partnership, which is defined generally as a partnership whose interests are publicly traded or frequently transferred.  However, this opinion is based only upon certain representations of our General Partners and the provisions in our Partnership Agreement that attempt to comply with certain safe harbor standards adopted by the Internal Revenue Service.  We cannot assure investors that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge this conclusion or that we will not, at some time in the future, be treated as a publicly traded partnership due to the following factors:

·                  the complex nature of the Internal Revenue Service safe harbors;

·                  the lack of interpretive guidance with respect to such provisions; and

·                  the fact that any determination in this regard will necessarily be based upon facts that have not yet occurred.

The deductibility of losses will be subject to passive loss limitations, and therefore their deductibility will be limited.

Limited partnership units will be allocated their pro rata share of our tax losses.  Section 469 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the allowance of deductions for losses attributable to passive activities, which are defined generally as activities in which the taxpayer does not materially participate.  Any tax losses allocated to investors will be characterized as passive losses, and accordingly, the deductibility of such losses will be subject to these limitations.  Losses from passive activities are generally deductible only to the extent of a taxpayer’s income or gains from passive activities and will not be allowed as an offset against other income, including salary or other compensation for personal services, active business income or “portfolio income,” which includes non-business income derived from dividends, interest, royalties, annuities and gains from the sale of property held for investment.  Accordingly, investors may receive no current benefit from their share of tax losses unless they are currently being allocated passive income from other sources.

The Internal Revenue Service may challenge our allocations of profit and loss, and any reallocation of items of income, gain, deduction and credit could reduce anticipated tax benefits.

Counsel has given its opinion that it is more likely than not that partnership items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be allocated among our General Partners and our limited partners substantially in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Partnership Agreement.  We cannot assure investors, however, that the Internal Revenue Service will not successfully challenge the allocations in the Partnership Agreement and reallocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit in a manner that reduces anticipated tax benefits.  The tax rules applicable to allocation of items of taxable income and loss are complex.  The ultimate determination of whether allocations adopted by us will be respected by the Internal Revenue Service will depend upon facts which will occur in the future and which cannot be predicted with certainty or completely controlled by us.  If the allocations we use are not recognized, limited partners could be required to report greater taxable income or less taxable loss with respect to an investment in us and, as a result, pay more tax and associated interest and penalties.  Our limited partners might also be required to incur the costs of amending their individual returns.

We may be characterized as a dealer, and if so, any gain recognized upon a sale of real property would be taxable to investors as ordinary income.

If we were deemed for tax purposes to be a dealer, defined as one who holds property primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, with respect to one or more of our properties, any gain recognized upon a sale of such real property would be taxable to investors as ordinary income and would also constitute UBTI to investors who are tax-exempt entities.  The resolution of our status in this regard is dependent upon facts that will not be known until the time a property is sold or held for sale.  Under existing law, whether property is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of

24




business must be determined from all the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular property at the time of disposition.  These include the number, frequency, regularity and nature of dispositions of real estate by the holder and activities of the holder of the property in selling the property or preparing the property for sale.  Accordingly, our counsel is unable to render an opinion as to whether we will be considered to hold any or all of our properties primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business.

We may be audited, which could result in the imposition of additional tax, interest and penalties.

Our federal income tax returns may be audited by the Internal Revenue Service.  Any audit of us could result in an audit of an investor’s tax return that may require adjustments of items unrelated to an investment in us, in addition to adjustments to various partnership items.  In the event of any such adjustments, an investor might incur attorneys’ fees, court costs and other expenses contesting deficiencies asserted by the Internal Revenue Service.  Investors may also be liable for interest on any underpayment and penalties from the date their tax was originally due.  The tax treatment of all partnership items will generally be determined at the partnership level in a single proceeding rather than in separate proceedings with each partner, and our General Partners are primarily responsible for contesting federal income tax adjustments proposed by the Internal Revenue Service.  In this connection, our General Partners may extend the statute of limitations as to all partners and, in certain circumstances, may bind the partners to a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service.  Further, our General Partners may cause us to elect to be treated as an electing large partnership.  If they do, we could take advantage of simplified flow-through reporting of partnership items.  Adjustments to partnership items would continue to be determined at the partnership level, however, and any such adjustments would be accounted for in the year they take effect, rather than in the year to which such adjustments relate.  Our General Partners will have the discretion in such circumstances either to pass along any such adjustments to the partners or to bear such adjustments at the partnership level.

State and local taxes and a requirement to withhold state taxes may apply, and if so, the amount of net cash from operations payable to investors would be reduced.

The state in which an investor resides may impose an income tax upon their share of our taxable income.  Further, states in which we will own our properties may impose income taxes upon their share of our taxable income allocable to any Partnership property located in that state.  Many states have also implemented or are implementing programs to require partnerships to withhold and pay state income taxes owed by non-resident partners relating to income-producing properties located in their states, and we may be required to withhold state taxes from cash distributions otherwise payable.  Investors may also be required to file income tax returns in some states and report their share of income attributable to ownership and operation by the Partnership of properties in those states.  Moreover, despite our pass-through treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, certain states may impose income or franchise taxes upon our income and not treat us as a pass-through entity.  The imposition of such taxes will reduce the amounts distributable to our limited partners.  In the event we are required to withhold state taxes from cash distributions, the amount of the net cash from operations otherwise payable would be reduced.  In addition, such collection and filing requirements at the state level may result in increases in our administrative expenses that would have the effect of reducing cash available for distribution.  Investors are urged to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of applicable state and local taxes and state tax withholding requirements on an investment in our units.

Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors.

In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made in the provisions of the federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in our units.  Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur, and we cannot assure investors that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of a limited partner.  Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our units or on the market value or the resale potential of our properties.  Investors are urged to consult with their own tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on their investment in units and the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our units.  Investors should also note that our counsel’s tax opinion assumes that no legislation that will be applicable to an investment in our units will be enacted after the commencement of the Offering on February 19, 2003.

Congress has passed major federal tax legislation regarding taxes applicable to recipients of dividends.  One of the changes reduced the tax rate to recipients of dividends paid by corporations to individuals to a maximum of 15%.  The tax changes did not, however, reduce the corporate tax rates.  Therefore, the maximum corporate tax rate of 35% has not been affected.  Even with the reduction of the rate on dividends received by the individuals, the combined maximum corporate federal tax rate is 44.75% and, with the effect of state income taxes, can exceed 50%.

Although partnerships continue to receive substantially better tax treatment than entities taxed as corporations, it is possible that future legislation would make a limited partnership structure a less advantageous organizational form for investment in real estate, or that it could become more advantageous for a limited partnership to elect to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a corporation or a REIT.  Pursuant to our Partnership Agreement, our General Partners have the authority to make any tax elections on our behalf that, in their sole judgement, are in our best interest.  This authority

25




includes the ability to elect to cause us to be taxed as a corporation or to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  Our General Partners have the authority under our Partnership Agreement to make those elections without the necessity of obtaining the approval of our limited partners.  In addition, our General Partners have the authority to amend our Partnership Agreement without the consent of limited partners in order to facilitate our operations so as to be able to qualify us as a REIT, corporation or other tax status that they elect for us.  Our General Partners have fiduciary duties to us and to all investors and would only cause such changes in our organizational structure or tax treatment if they determine in good faith that such changes are in the best interest of our investors.

The State of Texas recently enacted legislation that creates a new “margin tax” and decreases state property taxes.  This tax reform could result in decreased reimbursable expenses from tenants, and increased taxes on our operations, which could reduce the cash available for distribution to our investors.

In May 2006, the State of Texas enacted legislation which replaces the current franchise tax with a new “margin tax,” which is effective for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2006.  The new legislation expands the entities from those that are covered by the current Texas franchise tax, and specifically includes limited partnerships as subject to the new margin tax.  The tax generally will be 1% of an entity’s taxable margin, which is that part of an entity’s total revenue less applicable deductions apportioned to Texas.  In May 2006, the State of Texas also enacted legislation that reduces the state property tax.  As a result of this new Texas property tax legislation, reimbursable expenses from tenants at the property level may decrease, due to decreased property taxes.  As a result of our significant assets in Texas, the new margin tax, combined with the decrease in reimbursable expenses due to the decreased property tax, could reduce the amount of cash we have available for distribution to investors.

There are special considerations that apply to pension or profit sharing trusts or IRAs investing in our units.

If investors are investing the assets of a pension, profit sharing, 401(k), Keogh or other qualified retirement plan or the assets of an IRA in our units of limited partnership interest, they should be satisfied that, among other things:

·                  their investment is consistent with their fiduciary obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code;

·                  their investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing their plan or IRA, including their plan’s investment policy;

·                  their investment satisfies the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA;

·                  their investment will not impair the liquidity of the plan or IRA;

·                  they will be able to value the assets of the plan annually in accordance with ERISA requirements;

·                  their investment will not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code;

·                  their investment will likely produce UBTI for the plan or IRA and, therefore, is not likely to be an appropriate investment for an IRA.  (Due to our intended method of operation, it is likely that we will generate UBTI.)

We may dissolve the Partnership if our assets are deemed to be “plan assets” or if we engage in prohibited transactions.

If our assets were deemed to be assets of qualified plans investing as limited partners, known as “plan assets,” our General Partners would be considered to be plan fiduciaries and certain contemplated transactions between our General Partners or their affiliates and us may be deemed to be prohibited transactions subject to excise taxation under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Additionally, if our assets were deemed to be plan assets, ERISA’s fiduciary standards would extend to the General Partners as plan fiduciaries with respect to our investments.  We have not requested an opinion of our counsel regarding whether or not our assets would constitute plan assets under ERISA, nor have we sought any rulings from the U.S. Department of Labor (“Department of Labor”) regarding classification of our assets.

Department of Labor regulations defining plan assets for purposes of ERISA contain exemptions that, if satisfied, would preclude assets of a limited partnership such as ours from being treated as plan assets.  We cannot assure investors that our Partnership Agreement and the Offering have been structured so that the exemptions in such regulations would apply to us, and although our General Partners intend that an investment by a qualified plan in units will not be deemed an investment in our assets, we can make no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the consequences of an investment in our units by qualified plans in this regard.  Plan fiduciaries are urged to consult with and rely upon their own advisors with respect to this and other ERISA issues which, if decided adversely to us, could result in prohibited transactions, which would cause the imposition of excise taxation and the imposition of co-fiduciary liability under Section 405 of ERISA in the event actions undertaken by us are deemed to be non-prudent investments or prohibited transactions.

In the event our assets are deemed to constitute plan assets, or if certain transactions undertaken by us are deemed to constitute prohibited transactions under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code and no exemption for such transactions applies

26




or is obtainable by us, our General Partners have the right, but not the obligation, upon notice to all limited partners, but without the consent of any limited partner to:

·                  compel a termination and dissolution of the Partnership; or

·                  restructure our activities to the extent necessary to comply with any exemption in the Department of Labor regulations or any prohibited transaction exemption granted by the Department of Labor or any condition that the Department of Labor might impose as a condition to granting a prohibited transaction exemption.

Adverse tax considerations may result because of minimum distribution requirements.

If an investor purchased units through an IRA, or if an investor is a trustee of an IRA or other fiduciary of a retirement plan that invested in units, the investor must consider the limited liquidity of an investment in our units as it relates to applicable minimum distribution requirements under the Internal Revenue Code.  If units are held and our properties have not yet been sold at such time as mandatory distributions are required to begin to an IRA beneficiary or qualified plan participant, Sections 408(a)(6) and 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code will likely require that a distribution-in-kind of the units be made to the IRA beneficiary or qualified plan participant.  Any such distribution-in-kind of units must be included in the taxable income of the IRA beneficiary or qualified plan participant for the year in which the units are received at the fair market value of the units without any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay the income tax liability attributable to any such distribution.  Also, fiduciaries of a retirement plan should consider that, for distributions subject to mandatory income tax withholding under Section 3405 of the Internal Revenue Code, the fiduciary may have an obligation, even in situations involving in-kind distributions of units, to liquidate a portion of the in-kind units distributed in order to satisfy such withholding obligations.  There may also be similar state and/or local tax withholding or other obligations that should be considered.

UBTI is likely to be generated with respect to tax-exempt investors.

We intend to incur indebtedness, including indebtedness to acquire our properties.  This will cause recharacterization of a portion of our income allocable to tax-exempt investors as UBTI.  Further, in the event we are deemed to be a “dealer” in real property, defined as one who holds real estate primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, the gain realized on the sale of our properties that is allocable to tax-exempt investors would be characterized as UBTI.  If we generate UBTI, a trustee of a charitable remainder trust that has invested in us will lose its exemption from income taxation with respect to all of its income for the tax year in question.  A tax-exempt limited partner other than a charitable remainder trust that has UBTI in any tax year from all sources of more than $1,000 will be subject to taxation on such income and be required to file tax returns reporting such income.

Market Information

There is no established trading market for our limited partnership units, and we do not expect that one will develop.  This illiquidity creates a risk that a limited partner may not be able to sell the units at a time or price acceptable to the limited partner.  It also makes it necessary for us to estimate the value of our limited partnership units.  As of December 31, 2006, we estimate the per unit value of our limited partnership units to be $9.44.  The basis for the valuation was established in our prospectus for the sale of our securities and is set forth below.

In order for NASD members and their associated persons to participate in the offering and sale of our units of limited partnership interest, we are required pursuant to NASD Rule 2810(b)(5) to disclose in each annual report distributed to investors a per unit estimated value of the units, the method by which it was developed and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value.  In addition, we prepare annual statements of estimated unit values to assist fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to the annual reporting requirements of ERISA in the preparation of their reports relating to an investment in our units.  For these purposes, the deemed value of the units is $9.44 per unit as of December 31, 2006.  The basis for this valuation is the fact that the public offering price for our units in the Offering was $10 per unit (without regard to purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers), reduced by $0.56 per unit due to special distributions made in 2005 and 2006 of a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of properties.  However, there is no public trading market for the units at this time, and there can be no assurance that investors would receive $9.44 per unit if such a market did exist and they sold their units or that they will be able to receive such amount for their units in the future.  Nor does this deemed value reflect the distributions that the limited partners would be entitled to receive if our properties were sold and the sale proceeds were distributed in a liquidation of our Partnership.  Such a distribution upon liquidation may be less than $9.44 per unit primarily due to the fact that the funds initially available for investment in properties were reduced from the gross offering proceeds in order to pay selling commissions and dealer manager fees, organization and offering expenses, and acquisition and advisory fees, as described in more detail in the accompanying financial statements.  We do not currently anticipate obtaining annual appraisals for the properties we have acquired until December 31, 2009, and accordingly, the deemed values should not be viewed as an accurate reflection of the fair market value of those properties, nor do they represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate sale of those properties.  We expect to continue to use the $9.44 price as the estimated per unit value reported in our annual reports through December 31, 2008; provided, however, that if we sell any additional properties and make one or more special distributions to limited partners of all or a portion of the net proceeds from such sales, the value per unit will be equal to the offering price in the Offering less the amount of net sale proceeds per unit distributed to investors as a result of the sale of properties.

Unit Redemption Program

The Partnership Agreement includes a unit redemption program.  Limited partners who held their units for a least one year were able to redeem all or a portion of their units under our unit redemption program approved by our General Partners (the “Redemption Program”), in accordance with the procedures described below.  The General Partners terminated the Redemption Program on December 31, 2006.  Subject to the conditions and limitations below, during the term of the Redemption Program, we redeemed the units presented for redemption for cash to the extent that sufficient funds from operations were available to fund such redemption.  Except as described below for redemptions upon the death of a limited partner or upon the disability of the limited partner or such limited partner’s need for long-term care, the purchase price per unit for the redeemed units was equal to the amount by which (a) the lesser of (i) 90% of the average price per unit the original purchaser or purchasers of units paid to the Partnership for all of his or her units or (ii) $9.00 exceeded (b) the aggregate amount of net sale proceeds per unit, if any, distributed to investors prior to the redemption date as a result of the sale of one or more of the Partnership’s properties.  The General Partners reserved the right in their sole discretion at any time and from time to time to (1) waive the one-year holding period in the event of the death, disability or need for long-term care or bankruptcy of a limited partner or other exigent circumstances, (2) reject any request for redemption, (3) change the purchase price for redemptions, or (4) terminate, suspend and/or reestablish the Redemption Program.  The purchase price per unit for units redeemed upon the death of a limited partner or upon the disability of a limited partner or such limited partner’s need for long-term care (provided that the condition causing such disability or need for long-term was not pre-existing on the date that such limited partner became a limited partner), was equal to the amount by which (1) the average price per unit the limited partner paid to the Partnership for all of his or her units exceeded (2) the aggregate amount of net sale proceeds per unit, if any, distributed to investors prior to the redemption date as a result of the sale of one or more of the Partnership’s properties.  In order to qualify for a redemption under the special provision for death, disability or long-term care, the redemption request must have been received by the Partnership within 180 days of the date of death or determination of disability or need for long-term care.  In addition, with respect to requests for redemption under the

29




disability or long-term care special provision, the condition causing the disability or need for long-term care must not have been pre-existing on the date that the limited partner acquired the units.

 During the term of the Redemption Program, the General Partners determined at least quarterly whether we would repurchase units and the cash available for redemption.  Under the terms of the plan, during any calendar year, we did not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of units outstanding during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of redemption.  In addition, the General Partners determined whether we had sufficient cash from operations to repurchase units, and such purchases were generally limited to 1% of operating cash flow for the previous fiscal year plus proceeds of our distribution reinvestment and automatic purchase plan.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we redeemed units as follows:

(1)             A description of the maximum number of units that could have been purchased under the Redemption Program is included in the narrative preceding this table.

We cancelled the units we purchased under the Redemption Program and will not reissue the units unless they are first registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and under appropriate state securities laws or otherwise issued in compliance with or exemption from such laws and our Partnership Agreement.  As of December 31, 2006, we had repurchased 193,349 units under the Redemption Program for $1,727,109.

Holders

As of March 12, 2007, we had 10,803,839 limited partnership units outstanding that were held by a total of approximately 4,200 limited partners.

Distributions

The timing and amount of cash to be distributed to our limited partners is determined by the General Partners and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of distributions, financial condition and capital expenditures.  However, the Partnership Agreement generally requires cash distributions at least as often as quarterly.  We currently declare and pay distributions on a monthly basis.  In March 2004, we initiated the declaration of monthly distributions in the amount of a 3% annualized rate of return, based on an investment in our limited partnership units of $10 per share.  Prior to January 21, 2005, we had a distribution reinvestment and automatic repurchase plan (“DRIP”) whereby, pursuant to the distribution reinvestment and automatic purchase plan, limited partners were permitted to receive additional limited partnership units in lieu of a cash distribution.  We record all distributions when declared.  The limited partnership units issued through the DRIP were recorded when the units were actually issued.  The offering of the units pursuant to the DRIP was terminated on January 21, 2005.  On November 10, 2006, we paid a special distribution of approximately $4,980,000, as a result of the sale of the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property, to limited partners of record as of November 1, 2006.  Additionally, we paid a special distribution in the amount of approximately $1,096,000 on June 1, 2005, as a result of the gain recognized on the sale of approximately 1.6 acres of undeveloped land adjoining the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property (the “Woodall Rodgers Development Property”).  The distribution was made to limited partners of record as of May 15, 2005.  Beginning with the November 2006 monthly distribution, distributions in the amount of a 3% annualized rate of return are based on an investment in our limited partnership units of $9.44 per unit as a result of the special distributions made in 2006 and 2005.  The following are the distributions declared during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

The distributions we pay to our limited partners are not necessarily indicative of our current or future operating results, and there can be no assurance that future cash flow will support distributions at the current rate.  We expect to continue to distribute net cash from operations and nonliquidating sales of properties to limited partners.  However, our General Partners, in their discretion, may defer fees payable by us to the General Partners allowing for more cash to be available to us for distribution to our limited partners.  In addition, our General Partners may make supplemental payments to us or to our limited partners, or otherwise support our operations to the extent not prohibited under the NASAA Guidelines, which would permit distributions to our limited partners in excess of net cash from operations.  Accordingly, all or some of such distributions may constitute a return of capital to our investors to the extent that distributions exceed net cash from operations, or may be recognized as taxable income by us or by our investors.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

On February 19, 2003, we commenced the Offering of up to 10,000,000 limited partnership units offered at a price of $10 per unit pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act (SEC Registration No. 333-100125).  The Registration Statement also covered up to 1,000,000 limited partnership units available pursuant to our distribution reinvestment and automatic purchase plan at a price of $10 per unit.  On January 21, 2005, we amended our Registration Statement on Form S-11 with Amendment No. 7 to increase the units of limited partnership interest being offered to 10,950,000 and decrease the units available to be issued under the DRIP to the 50,000 units that had already been issued, thus terminating our DRIP.  The Offering was terminated on February 19, 2005.  The number of units sold and the offering proceeds realized pursuant to the Offering as of December 31, 2006 were 10,997,188 limited partnership units for $109,244,460.  The stated number of units sold and the gross offering proceeds realized from such sales does not include the ten units issued to our initial limited partner in conjunction with our organization in 2002 and preceding the commencement of the Offering.  The net offering proceeds to us, after deducting selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and offering expenses, were $97,217,661.

From the commencement of the Offering through December 31, 2006, we had used approximately $90,800,000 of such net offering proceeds to purchase real estate and investment interests, net of mortgages payable.  Of the amount used for the purchase of these investments, $6,331,590 was paid to Behringer Advisors II, our affiliate, as acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expense reimbursement.

Item 7.                    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates, including investment impairment.  These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries.  All inter-company transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.  Interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which requires the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.  If the interest in the entity is determined to not be a VIE under FIN No. 46R, then the entities are evaluated for consolidation under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 78-9 “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures,” as amended by Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-5, “Determining

32




Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.”

There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which we have made an investment is a VIE and if so, if we are the primary beneficiary.  The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, calculating the percentage of equity being risked compared to the total equity of the entity.  FIN No. 46R provides some guidelines as to what the minimum equity at risk should be, but the percentage can vary depending upon the industry and/or the type of operations of the entity and it is up to management to determine that minimum percentage as it relates to our business and the facts surrounding each of our acquisitions.  In addition, even if the entity’s equity at risk is a very low percentage, we are required by FIN No. 46R to evaluate the equity at risk compared to the entity’s expected future losses to determine if there could still in fact be sufficient equity in the entity.  Determining expected future losses involves assumptions of various possibilities of the results of future operations of the entity, assigning a probability to each possibility and using a discount rate to determine the net present value of those future losses.  A change in the judgments, assumptions and estimates outlined above could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment on the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our financial statements.

Real Estate

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we allocate the purchase price of those properties to the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and buildings, identified intangible assets, asset retirement obligations and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair values in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  Identified intangible assets consist of the fair value of above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and tenant relationships.  Initial valuations are subject to change until our information is finalized, which is no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.

The fair value of the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and buildings, is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and buildings.  Land values are derived from appraisals, and building values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or management’s estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods.  The value of the commercial office buildings are depreciated over the estimated useful life of 25 years using the straight-line method and hotels/mixed used properties are depreciated over the estimated useful life of 39 years using the straight-line method.

We determine the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.  We record the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.

The total value of identified real estate intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant.  The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships is determined by applying a fair value model.  The estimates of fair value of in-place leases include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces, considering current market conditions.  In estimating fair value of in-place leases, we consider items such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period and carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not been in place, including tenant improvements and commissions.  The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also include costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant improvements, as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis.

We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the term of the respective leases.  The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.  Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and tenant relationship intangibles would be charged to expense.

We determine the fair value of assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled note payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that we believe we could obtain.  Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan.

33




In allocating the purchase price of each of our properties, management makes assumptions and uses various estimates, including, but not limited to, the estimated useful lives of the assets, the cost of replacing certain assets, discount rates used to determine present values, market rental rates per square foot and the period required to lease the property up to its occupancy at acquisition if it were vacant.  Many of these estimates are obtained from independent third party appraisals.  However, management is responsible for the source and use of these estimates.  A change in these estimates and assumptions could result in the various categories of our real estate assets and/or related intangibles being overstated or understated, which could result in an overstatement or understatement of depreciation and/or amortization expense.  These variances could be material to our financial statements.

Investment Impairments

For real estate we wholly own, management monitors events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable.  When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we will assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset, including its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset.  In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value.

For real estate owned by us through an investment in a limited partnership, joint venture, tenant-in-common interest or other similar investment structure, at each reporting date management compares the estimated fair value of its investment to the carrying value.  An impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline.  There were no impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 or 2004.

In evaluating our investments for impairment, management makes several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the properties, the estimated future cash flows of the properties during our ownership and the projected sales price of each of the properties.  A change in these estimates and assumptions could result in understating or overstating the book value of our investments, which could be material to our financial statements.

Overview

We are organized as a Texas limited partnership formed primarily to invest in and operate commercial properties, and lease such property to one or more tenants.  We are opportunistic in our acquisition of properties.  Properties may be acquired in markets that are depressed or overbuilt with the anticipation that these properties will increase in value as the markets recover.  We purchased our first property on February 11, 2004 in Dallas, Texas.  As of December 31, 2006 we wholly-owned six properties and owned interests in five properties through investments in partnerships and joint ventures.  All five investments in partnerships and joint ventures are consolidated as of December 31, 2006.  We revised the presentation of our 2004 Consolidated Statements of Operations to remove the operating loss subtotal and the other income caption to conform to current presentation.  See Note 17 — “Revisions to Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

Fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005

For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had six wholly-owned properties and interests in five properties through investments in partnerships and joint ventures.  All five investments in partnerships and joint ventures were consolidated with and into our accounts for the entire year ended December 31, 2006.  At December 31, 2005, we had six wholly-owned properties and interests in five properties through investments in partnerships and joint ventures.  Two interests in properties and joint ventures became consolidated with and into our accounts during the year ended December 31, 2005.  As a result, all five investments in partnerships and joint ventures were consolidated into our accounts at December 31, 2005.  At January 1, 2005, our 85.71% interest in the Skillman Property and our 50% interest in the Central Property were accounted for under the equity method.    On May 23, 2005, we purchased the remaining 14.29% interest in the Skillman Property, resulting in our 100% direct ownership and consolidation of this property with and into our consolidated accounts subsequent to that date.  We acquired an additional 6.25% interest in the Central Property effective August 31, 2005 and an additional 6.25% on October 31, 2005, resulting in our 62.5% ownership and the consolidation of this property subsequent to October 31, 2005.  The operations of the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property, which was sold on July 24, 2006, is classified as discontinued operations in each of the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  We purchased the Telluride property, which is currently under development, on May 15, 2006.  We purchased the 250/290 Carpenter Property on April 4, 2005 and the Landmark I & II Properties on July 6, 2005.  In addition, the single tenant at the 250/290 Carpenter Property terminated their lease effective June 30, 2006 and the boutique hotel portion of the Mockingbird Commons Property (“Hotel Palomar”) became operational in September 2006.

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $6,149,465 and $1,539,027, respectively.  Property operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were comprised of expenses related to the daily operations from our wholly-owned properties and our investments in partnerships that we consolidated.  The increase in property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 is primarily due to the commencement of operations at Hotel Palomar, the increase in the number of consolidated properties and recognizing a full year of operations from properties acquired during 2005.  Management expects future increases in property operating expenses as we recognize full year results of development properties that have become operational.

Real Estate Taxes. Real estate taxes for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $2,751,965 and $1,830,436, respectively, and were comprised of real estate taxes associated with our wholly-owned properties and our investments in partnerships that we consolidated.  The increase in real estate taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006 is primarily due to the increase in the number of consolidated properties and recognizing a full year of operations from properties acquired during 2005.  Management expects future increases in real estate taxes as we recognize full year results of development properties that have become operational.

Real estate taxes for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $1,830,436 and were comprised of real estate taxes associated with our wholly-owned properties and our investments in partnerships that we consolidated.  Real estate taxes in the amount of $177,021 for the year ended December 31, 2004 were composed of property taxes from our wholly-owned property and the two investments in partnerships that we consolidated.  The increase in real estate taxes was primarily due to the acquisition of additional properties during 2005.

Property and Asset Management Fees. Property and asset management fees for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $719,100 and were comprised of property management and asset management fees from our wholly-owned properties and our investments in partnerships that we consolidated.  Property and asset management fees of $78,020 for the year ended December 31, 2004 were composed of property taxes from our wholly-owned property and the two investments in partnerships that we consolidated.  The increase in property and asset management fees was primarily due to the growth in our portfolio of properties during 2005.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $814,285 and $400,231, respectively.  General and administrative expenses were comprised of auditing fees, transfer agent fees, printing costs, legal fees, tax preparation fees, directors’ and officers’ insurance premiums and other administrative expenses.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increase in auditing fees and transfer agent fees.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,625,414 and was comprised of interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees related to the notes payable associated with the acquisition and development of our wholly-owned properties and our investments in partnerships.  Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $166,677 and was comprised of interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees related to the notes payable associated with our wholly-owned property and the two investments in partnerships that we consolidated.  Interest continued to be capitalized until development of the Mockingbird Commons Property and the Northwest Highway Land was complete.  For the year ended December 31, 2005, we capitalized interest costs of $1,521,348 for the Mockingbird Commons Property and $279,364 for the Northwest Highway Property.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, we capitalized interest costs of $159,228 for the Mockingbird Commons Property.  The increase in interest expense was due to borrowings used to purchase additional properties during 2005.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $6,894,990 and includes depreciation and amortization of buildings and real estate intangibles associated with our wholly-owned properties and our investments in partnerships that we consolidated.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, depreciation and amortization expense associated with our wholly-owned property and the two investments in partnerships that we consolidated was $442,370.  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the increase in our portfolio of properties during 2005.

Interest Income. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $698,262 and was comprised primarily of interest income associated with funds on deposit with banks.  As we admitted new unit holders, subscription proceeds were released to us from escrow and were then utilized as consideration for investments and the payment or reimbursement of dealer manager fees, selling commissions, organization and offering expenses and operating expenses.  Until required for such purposes, net offering proceeds were held in short-term, liquid investments and earned interest income.  Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $150,406.  The increase in interest income was due to higher cash balances on deposit with banks as a result of increased proceeds from the Offering which terminated on February 19, 2005.

Equity in Losses of Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Equity in losses of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $801,497 and $414,052, respectively, and was comprised of our share of equity in the losses of the Central and the Skillman Properties.  We acquired the remaining 14.29% interest in the Skillman Property on May 23, 2005 and subsequent to that date, the Skillman Property was consolidated with and into our consolidated accounts.  We also acquired two additional 6.25% interests in the Central Property effective August 31, 2005 and October 31, 2005, respectively, resulting in our total interest in the property of 62.5% at December 31, 2005.  As a result, subsequent to October 31, 2005, the Central Property was consolidated with and into our consolidated accounts.

Gain on sale of assets. We recognized a gain on the sale of assets for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $1,096,396.  The gain was a result of the sale of the Woodall Rodgers Development Property on April 6, 2005.  No assets were sold during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Minority Interest. Minority interest for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $99,361 and represents the other partners’ proportionate share of losses of investments in the five partnerships that we consolidated.  Minority interest for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $6,789 and represents the other partners’ proportionate share of income of investments in the two partnerships that we consolidated.

Discontinued Operations

Loss from Discontinued Operations. The loss from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $302,498 and $487,565, respectively.  Losses from discontinued operations, for the respective periods, represents the activity for the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property, which was sold on July 24, 2006.

Cash Flow Analysis

We purchased our first property on February 11, 2004 in Dallas, Texas.  As of December 31, 2006 we wholly-owned six properties and owned interests in five properties through investments in partnerships and joint ventures.  As of December 31, 2005, we owned interests in eleven properties and as of December 31, 2004 we owned interests in six properties.  As a result, certain items of our cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 may be significantly different from our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents were $20,837,383 and $15,769,969 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The increase in cash in 2006 is primarily due to cash from borrowings offset by cash used in the purchases of building equipment, capital expenditures for properties under development, distributions and purchases of properties under development.

Our principal demands for funds will be for the payment of operating expenses and distributions and for the payment of our outstanding indebtedness.  Generally, cash needs for items other than property acquisitions and mortgage loan investments are expected to be met from operations.

The timing and amount of cash to be distributed to our limited partners is determined by our General Partners and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of distributions, financial condition and capital expenditures.  There can be no assurance that future cash flow will support distributions at the current rate.  We expect to continue to distribute net cash from operations and nonliquidating sales of properties to limited partners.  However, our General Partners, in their discretion, may defer fees payable by us to our General Partners allowing for more cash to be available to us for distribution to our limited partners.  In addition, our General Partners may make supplemental payments to us or to our limited partners, or otherwise support our operations to the extent not prohibited under the NASAA Guidelines, which would permit distributions to our limited partners in excess of net cash from operations.  Accordingly, all or some of such distributions may constitute a return of capital to our limited partners to the extent that distributions exceed net cash from operations, or may be recognized as taxable income to our limited partners or us.

We expect to meet our future short-term operating liquidity requirements through net cash provided by the operations of current properties and those to be acquired in the future.  Management also expects that our properties will generate sufficient cash flow to cover operating expenses and the payment of a monthly distribution.  Currently, distributions are paid from cash provided by operations.  Other potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of properties and undistributed funds from operations.  If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.

On September 1, 2005, we entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Revolver Lender”).  Borrowings available under the Revolver Agreement may total up to $11,250,000, subject to limitations based on the cost and value of the collateral for the facility (the “Revolver”).  The Revolver is further evidenced by a promissory note from us to the Revolver Lender.  The Revolver Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $10,000,000, which if issued, would reduce the amount of funds available under the Revolver.  On April 20, 2006, we borrowed the maximum amount of $11,250,000 under the Revolver Agreement.  The Revolver Agreement allows us to elect, for each advance of funds, an interest rate per annum of the prime rate or an interest rate based on the 30-day LIBOR or a combination of each.  We elected to use the interest rate based on the 30-day LIBOR rate, and at December 31, 2006, the interest rate on the Revolver was 30-day LIBOR plus 1.75%, or approximately 7.1%.  The balance under the Revolver Agreement as of December 31, 2006, was $11,250,000.  The Revolver has a three-year term with the option to extend for one additional year.  Monthly payments of interest are required.  Prepayment of principal can be made in full at any time and in part from time to time.  Borrowings under the Revolver Agreement will be used by us for working capital needs and, to the extent applicable, for payment of other obligations.  The 250/290 Carpenter Property is subject to a deed of trust to secure payment under the Revolver Agreement.  In addition, we have guaranteed payment of any borrowings made under the Revolver Agreement.

On October 5, 2005, we acquired a 60% interest in the Melissa Land through our direct ownership interest in BHDGI, Ltd. (the “Melissa Land Partnership”).  On that same date, the Melissa Land Partnership borrowed $2,000,000 under a loan agreement (the “Melissa Land Loan”) with Dallas City Bank (the “Melissa Land Lender”).  The interest rate under the Melissa Land Loan was equal to the lesser of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus one-half of one percent (0.5%) or (ii) the maximum rate allowed by law with interest being calculated on the unpaid principal.  A final payment of the principal and unpaid interest was due on September 29, 2006, the original maturity date.  We guaranteed payment of the obligation in the event that, among other things, the Melissa Land Partnership became insolvent or entered into bankruptcy proceedings and the Melissa Land was subject to a deed of trust to collateralize payment of the Melissa Land Loan.  On September 29, 2006, the Melissa Land Lender and the Melissa Land Partnership agreed to modify certain terms of the Melissa Land Loan.  Under the modified loan agreement, payments of unpaid accrued interest are due on March 29, 2007 and June 29, 2007, with a final payment of the unpaid principal and unpaid accrued interest due and payable on September 29, 2007.  All other terms of the Melissa Land Loan remain in effect.  The balance under the Melissa Land Loan at December 31, 2006 was $2,000,000.

On October 12, 2006, Behringer Harvard Mountain Village, LLC (the “Borrower”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a construction loan agreement (the “Telluride Loan Agreement”) with Texans Commercial Capital, LLC (the “Telluride Lender”), an unaffiliated third party.  Borrowings under the Telluride Loan Agreement may total up to $31,650,000.  The Telluride Loan Agreement is further evidenced by a promissory note from the Borrower for the benefit of

39




the Telluride Lender.  The interest rate under the Telluride Loan Agreement is equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus three-quarters of one percent (0.75%), with interest being calculated on the unpaid principal.  Monthly payments of unpaid accrued interest were due beginning November 1, 2006.  A principal payment in the amount of $5,000,000 is due and payable on October 1, 2008, unless, prior to that date, the Borrower has delivered to the Telluride Lender valid pre-sale contracts of luxury condominiums of not less than $6,000,000.  A final payment of the principal and unpaid accrued interest is due and payable on October 1, 2009, the maturity date.  The Borrower may extend the maturity date of the Telluride Loan Agreement for one year upon receipt of (i) Borrower’s written request and (ii) a loan extension fee equal to 0.5% of the then outstanding balance if certain conditions are met.  Prepayment of principal can be made, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, at any time, but with accrued interest to the date of prepayment. Advances from the Telluride Loan Agreement will be used to fund the construction of 23 luxury condominium units on the Telluride Property.  Behringer Harvard Advisors II LP, one of our general partners, received a financing fee of $316,500.  The balance of the Telluride Loan Agreement was $3,933,900 at December 31, 2006.

On July 24, 2006, we sold the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property through our affiliate, Behringer Harvard Woodall Rodgers LP, to an unaffiliated third party.  The contract sale price was $10,450,000.  A portion of the sales proceeds was used to pay closing costs and completely pay off the then-outstanding balance of the debt associated with the property of approximately $4,525,000.

As of December 31, 2006, approximately $87,800,000 of the outstanding balance of our notes payable is due within the next twelve months.  Of that amount, approximately $81,400,000 of the notes payable agreements contain a provision to extend the maturity date for at least one additional year if certain conditions are met.  We expect to use cash flows from operations and proceeds from the disposition of properties to continue making our scheduled debt service payments until the maturity dates of the loans are extended, the loans are refinanced, or the outstanding balance of the loans are completely paid off.  There is no guaranty that we will be able to refinance our borrowings with more or less favorable terms or extend the maturity dates of such loans.

Our loan agreements stipulate that we comply with certain reporting and financial covenants.  These covenants include, among other things, notifying the lender of any change in management and maintaining minimum debt service coverage.  At December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with each of the debt covenants under our loan agreements.

Net Operating Income

Net operating income (“NOI”) is defined as net income, computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), generated from properties before interest expense, asset management fees, interest income, general and administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization, equity in unconsolidated joint ventures, minority interests and the sale of assets.  We believe that NOI provides an accurate measure of our operating performance of our operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties.   To facilitate understanding of this financial measure, a reconciliation of net operating income to net income has been provided In accordance with GAAP.  Our calculations of NOI for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are presented below.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which clarifies the relevant criteria and approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions.  FIN 48 was effective beginning January 1, 2007.  The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies only to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”).  The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates.  A business entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date.  The fair value option:  (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments.  FASB No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 159 will have on our financial statements.

Inflation

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to the relatively low inflation rate.  The majority of our leases contain inflation protection provisions applicable to reimbursement billings for common area maintenance charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot basis, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per square foot allowance.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and make loans and other permitted investments.  Our management’s objectives, with regard to interest rate risks, are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs.  To achieve these objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates.  With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.  We do not enter into derivative financial instruments such as options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps or floors to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate portion of our variable rate debt.  Of our approximately $135,300,000 in notes payable at December 31, 2006, approximately $120,000,000 represented debt subject to variable interest rates.  If our variable interest rates increased 100 basis points, we estimate that total annual interest costs would increase by approximately $1,200,000.

At December 31, 2006, we did not have any foreign operations and thus were not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

Item 8.                    Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The information required by this Item 8 is hereby incorporated by reference to our Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9.                                                           Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

On September 2, 2005, we retained the services of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to replace our former independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. This engagement and replacement was approved by our General Partners. We reported this information in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 2, 2005.  During the fiscal year, and any subsequent interim period prior to September 2, 2005, we did not consult with Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding any matters noted in Items 304(a) of Regulation S-K.

There have been no “disagreements” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or any events of the type listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Regulation S-K, involving PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that occurred within the fiscal year and the interim period prior to September 2, 2005.  PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

We provided PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with a copy of the disclosures made pursuant to the Form 8-K (which disclosures are consistent with the disclosures noted above) and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnished us with a letter addressed to the Commission stating that it agrees with the statements made by us in the Current Report on Form 8-K filing, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 9A.                                                  Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the management of Behringer Advisors II, our general partner, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our general partner, evaluated, as of December 31, 2006, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e).  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Behringer Advisors II, our general partner, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2006, were effective for the purpose of ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Behringer Advisors II, our general partner, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance, and not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and an evaluation of controls can provide only reasonable assurance, and not absolute assurance, that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a partnership have been detected.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

However, during the first quarter of 2006, we implemented a new accounting and property management system throughout our operations.  This software change affected all aspects of our accounting and financial systems and resulted in a significant change to our internal controls.  While we believe these changes have improved and strengthened our overall system of internal control, there are inherent risks associated with implementing software changes.  We have modified our system of internal control over financial reporting in order to address the impact of these software changes, and believe that our controls, as modified, continue to be designed appropriately and operate effectively.

Item 9B. Other Information.

Item 13.                                                    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.

Transactions with Related Persons

The General Partners and certain of their affiliates are entitled to receive fees and compensation in connection with the acquisition, management and sale of our assets, and have received fees in the past in connection with the Offering.  Our General Partners have agreed that all of the financial benefits of serving as our general partners will be allocated to Behringer Advisors II since it is anticipated that the day-to-day responsibilities of serving as our general partner will be performed by Behringer Advisors II through the executive officers of its general partner.

During the term of the Offering, Behringer Securities, our affiliated dealer manager, received commissions of up to 7% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers.  In addition, up to 2.5% of gross proceeds before reallowance to participating broker-dealers was paid to Behringer Securities as a dealer manager fee; except that this dealer manager fee was reduced to 1% of the gross proceeds of purchases made pursuant to the distribution reinvestment feature of our DRIP, which was terminated on January 21, 2005.  Behringer Securities reallowed all of its commissions to participating broker-dealers and reallowed a portion of its dealer manager fee of up to 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds to such participating broker-dealers as marketing fees and due diligence expense reimbursement.  Behringer Securities did not earn selling and dealer manager fees for the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of the termination of the Offering on February 19, 2005.  For the year ended December 31, 2005, Behringer Securities earned $2,618,389 in selling commissions and $1,016,332 in dealer manager fees. For the year ended December 31, 2004, Behringer Securities earned $4,059,019 in selling commissions and $1,579,368 in dealer manager fees.  The commissions and dealer manager fees were recorded as a reduction in Partners’ capital for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Behringer Advisors II, a general partner of and advisor to us, or its affiliates received up to 2.5% of gross offering proceeds for reimbursement of organization and offering expenses.  As of December 31, 2006, $2,285,037 of organization and offering expenses had been incurred by Behringer Advisors II on our behalf.  As of December 31, 2006, all offering expenses incurred by Behringer Advisors II on our behalf had been reimbursed.  Of the $2,285,037 of organization and offering costs reimbursed by us as of December 31, 2006, $2,265,651 had been recorded as a reduction in Partners’ capital and $19,386 had been expensed as organization costs.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, no additional organization or offering expenses were incurred or reimbursed.  For the year ended December 31, 2005, we reimbursed $566,500 of organization and offering expenses, of which $559,290 was recorded as a reduction in Partners’ capital and $7,210 was expensed as organization costs.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, we reimbursed $1,588,832 of organization and offering expenses, of which $1,577,551 was recorded as a reduction in Partners’ capital and $11,281 was expensed as organization costs.  Behringer Advisors II or its affiliates determined the amount of organization and offering expenses owed, based on specific invoice identification as well as an allocation of costs to us and other Behringer Harvard programs, based on the respective equity offering results of those entities in offering.  No further proceeds will be raised by us as a result of the termination of the Offering and, as a result, we will not make any further reimbursements to Behringer Advisors II for organization and offering expenses incurred or that may be incurred in the future on our behalf.

Behringer Advisors II or its affiliates receive acquisition and advisory fees of up to 3% of the contract purchase price of each asset for the acquisition, development or construction of real property.  Behringer Advisors II or its affiliates also receive up to 0.5% of the contract purchase price of the assets acquired by us for reimbursement of expenses related to making investments.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, Behringer Advisors II earned $183,300 of acquisition and advisory fees and was reimbursed $30,550 for acquisition-related expenses.  During the year ended December 31, 2005, Behringer Advisors II earned $3,518,482 of acquisition and advisory fees and was reimbursed $586,414 for acquisition-related expenses.  During the year ended December 31, 2004, Behringer Advisors II earned $1,725,295 of acquisition and advisory fees and was reimbursed $287,549 for acquisition-related expenses.

For the management and leasing of our properties, we pay HPT Management, our property manager, property management and leasing fees equal to the lesser of: (a) the amounts charged by unaffiliated persons rendering comparable services in the same geographic area or (b)(1) for commercial properties that are not leased on a long-term net lease basis, 4.5% of gross revenues, plus separate leasing fees of up to 1.5% of gross revenues based upon the customary leasing fees applicable to the geographic location of the properties, and (2) in the case of commercial properties that are leased on a long-term net lease basis (ten or more years), 1% of gross revenues plus a one-time initial leasing fee of 3% of gross revenues payable over the first five years of the lease term.  We reimburse the costs and expenses incurred by HPT Management on our behalf, including the wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of all on-site employees of HPT Management who are engaged in the operation, management, maintenance and leasing or access control of our properties, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating to such employees, and legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the management of specific properties.  During the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we incurred property management fees payable to HPT Management of $748,177 and $520,527, respectively, of which $50,236 and $89,463 is included in loss from discontinued operations, respectively.  During the year ended December 31, 2004, we incurred property management fees payable to HPT Management of $115,655,  of which $63,135 is included in loss from discontinued operations.

47




We pay Behringer Advisors II or its affiliates an annual asset management fee of 0.5% of the contract purchase price of our assets.  Any portion of the asset management fee may be deferred and paid in a subsequent year.  During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we incurred asset management fees of $887,785 and $466,362, respectively, of which $26,594 and $51,500 is included in loss from discontinued operations and $265,716 and $126,826 were capitalized to real estate, respectively.  During the year ended December 31, 2004, we incurred asset management fees of $72,869, of which $47,369 is included in loss from discontinued operations.

In connection with the sale of our properties, we will pay to the General Partners or their affiliates a real estate commission in an amount not exceeding the lesser of:  (a) 50% of the reasonable, customary and competitive real estate brokerage commissions customarily paid for the sale of a comparable property in light of the size, type and location of the property, or (b) 3% of the gross sales price of each property, subordinated to distributions to limited partners from the sale proceeds of an amount which, together with prior distributions to the limited partners, will equal (1) 100% of their capital contributions plus (2) a 10% annual cumulative (noncompounded) return of their net capital contributions.  Subordinated real estate commissions that are not payable at the date of sale, because limited partners have not yet received their required minimum distributions, will be deferred and paid at such time as these subordination conditions have been satisfied.  In addition, after the limited partners have received a return of their net capital contributions and a 10% annual cumulative (noncompounded) return on their net capital contributions, then the General Partners are entitled to receive 15% of the remaining residual proceeds available for distribution (a subordinated participation in net sale proceeds and distributions); provided, however, that in no event will the General Partners receive in the aggregate more than 15% of sale proceeds remaining after the limited partners have received a return of their net capital contributions.  Since the conditions above have not been met at this time, we incurred no such real estate commissions for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 or 2004.

We will pay Behringer Advisors II or its affiliates a debt financing fee for certain debt made available to us.  We incurred $316,500 of such debt financing fees for the year ended December 31, 2006.  We incurred no such debt financing fees for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

We are dependent on Behringer Advisors II and HPT Management for certain services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition and disposition decisions, property management and leasing services and other general and administrative responsibilities.  In the event that these companies were unable to provide the respective services to us, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.

Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons

The agreements and arrangements among us, our General Partners and their affiliates have been established by our General Partners, and our General Partners believe the amounts to be paid thereunder to be reasonable and customary under the circumstances.  In an effort to establish standards for minimizing and resolving their potential conflicts of interest, our General Partners have agreed to the guidelines and limitations set forth in our Partnership Agreement.  Among other things, these provisions:

Because we do not have a board of directors or any board committees, including an audit committee, the General Partners pre-approve all auditing and permissible non-auditing services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.  The independent public accountants may not be retained to perform the non-auditing services specified in Section 10A(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of
Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of the Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners’ capital and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

1.             Business and Organization

Business

Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP (which may be referred to as the “Partnership,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a limited partnership formed in Texas on July 30, 2002.  Our general partners are Behringer Harvard Advisors II LP (“Behringer Advisors II”) and Robert M. Behringer (collectively, the “General Partners”).  We were funded through capital contributions from our General Partners and initial limited partner on September 20, 2002 (date of inception) and offered our limited partnership units pursuant to the public offering which commenced on February 19, 2003 (“the Offering”), terminated on February 19, 2005, and is described below.  The Offering was a best efforts continuous offering, and we continued to admit new investors until the termination of the Offering in February 2005.  We are using the proceeds from the Offering, after deducting offering expenses, to acquire twelve properties, including eight office building properties, one shopping/service center, a hotel redevelopment with an adjoining condominium development, and two development properties.

We are not currently seeking to purchase any additional properties; however, in limited circumstances, we may purchase properties as a result of selling one or more of the properties we currently hold and reinvesting the sales proceeds in properties that fall within our investment objectives and investment criteria.  We are opportunistic in our acquisition of properties.  Properties may be acquired in markets that are depressed or overbuilt with the anticipation that these properties will increase in value as the markets recover.  Properties may also be acquired and repositioned by seeking to improve the property and tenant quality and thereby increase lease revenues.  Many of the markets where we acquire properties have low barriers to entry.  However, we are not limited to such types of investments.  We will consider investments in all types of commercial properties, including office buildings, shopping centers, business and industrial parks, manufacturing facilities, apartment buildings, warehouses and distribution facilities, if the General Partners determine that it would be advantageous to do so.  Investments may also include commercial properties that are not preleased to such tenants or in other types of commercial properties, such as hotels or motels.  However, we will not actively engage in the business of operating hotels, motels or similar properties.

We may purchase properties that have been constructed and have operating histories, are newly constructed or are under development or construction.  An advisory board has been established to provide the General Partners with advice and guidance with respect to (i) the identification of assets for acquisition; (ii) general economic and market conditions, general business principles, and specific business principles relating to our business plan; (iii) inroads to establishing beneficial strategic partners, customers, and suppliers; (iv) opportunities within and related to the industry; and (v) other assistance as may be determined by the General Partners or their representatives from time to time.  Our partnership agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) provides that we will continue in existence until the earlier of December 31, 2017 or termination pursuant to the dissolution and termination provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

Organization

On February 19, 2003, we commenced the Offering of up to 10,000,000 units of limited partnership interest at a price of $10 per unit pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The Registration Statement also covered up to 1,000,000 units available pursuant to our distribution reinvestment and automatic purchase plan (the “DRIP”) at $10 per unit.  On January 21, 2005, we amended our Registration Statement on Form S-11 with Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 to increase the units of limited partnership interest being offered to 10,950,000 and decrease the units available to be issued under the DRIP to the 50,000 units that had already been issued, thus terminating our DRIP.  The number of units sold and the gross offering proceeds realized pursuant to the Offering were 10,997,188 limited partnership units for $109,244,460.  As of December 31, 2006, we had redeemed 193,349 of the units issued pursuant to the Offering for $1,727,109.  Our General Partners decided to terminate the redemption program effective December 31, 2006.

Until December 31, 2008, the value of our units will be deemed to be $10, adjusted for any special distributions, and no valuation or appraisal of our units will be performed.  As of December 31, 2006, we estimate the per unit valuation to be $9.44, due to a special distribution made in 2005 of $0.10 per unit and a special distribution of $0.46 per unit made in 2006 of a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of properties.  Starting January 1, 2009, we will prepare annual valuations of our units based upon the estimated amount a limited partner would receive if all Partnership assets were sold for their estimated values as of the close of our fiscal year and all proceeds from such sales, without reduction for selling expenses, together with any funds held by it, were distributed to the limited partners upon liquidation.  Such estimated property values will be based upon annual valuations performed by the General Partners, and no independent property appraisals will be obtained.  While the General Partners are required under the Partnership Agreement to obtain the opinion of an independent third party stating

that their estimates of value are reasonable, the unit valuations provided by the General Partners may not satisfy the technical requirements imposed on plan fiduciaries under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.  Similarly, the unit valuations provided by the General Partners may be subject to challenge by the Internal Revenue Service if used for any tax (income, estate and gift or otherwise) valuation purpose as an indicator of the fair value of the units.

As of December 31, 2006, we had 10,803,839 limited partnership units outstanding.

2.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates include such items as purchase price allocation for real estate acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization and allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries.  All inter-company transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.  Interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which requires the consolidation of variable interest entities in which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.  If the interest in the entity is determined to not be a variable interest entity under FIN No. 46R, then the entities are evaluated for consolidation under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 78-9 “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures,” as amended by Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.”

Real Estate

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we allocate the purchase price of those properties to the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and buildings, identified intangible assets, asset retirement obligations and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair values in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  Identified intangible assets consist of the fair value of above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and tenant relationships.  Initial valuations are subject to change until our information is finalized, which is no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.

The fair value of the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and buildings, is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and buildings.  Land values are derived from appraisals, and building values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or management’s estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods.  The value of the commercial office buildings are depreciated over the estimated useful life of 25 years using the straight-line method and hotels/mixed used properties are depreciated over the estimated useful life of 39 years using the straight-line method.

We determine the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.  We record the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.

The total value of identified real estate intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant.  The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships is determined by applying a fair value model.  The estimates of fair value of in-place leases include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces, considering current market conditions.  In estimating fair value of in-place leases, we consider items such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period and carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not

been in place, including tenant improvements and commissions.  The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also include costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant improvements as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis.

We determine the fair value of assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled note payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that we believe we could obtain.  Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan.

We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the term of the respective leases.  The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.  Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and tenant relationship intangibles would be charged to expense.  The estimated average remaining useful lives of our acquired lease intangibles as of December 31, 2006 range from 0.3 years to 5.7 years.

Anticipated amortization associated with acquired lease intangibles for each of the following five years ended December 31 is as follows:

Investment Impairments

For real estate we wholly own, management monitors events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable.  When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we will assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset, including its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset.  In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value.

For real estate owned by us through an investment in a limited partnership, joint venture, tenant-in-common interest or other similar investment structure, at each reporting date, management compares the estimated fair value of its investment to the carrying value.  An impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline.  There were no impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 or 2004.

F-10

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes monies to be held in escrow for insurance, taxes and other reserves for our consolidated properties as required by our lenders.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consists of receivables from hotel guests and tenants related to those properties that are consolidated in our financial statements.  We recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts associated with accounts receivable of $170,201, $109,269 and $19,258 at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Prepaid expenses and other assets includes inventory, prepaid directors and officers insurance, as well as prepaid insurance and real estate taxes of our consolidated properties.  Inventory consists of food, beverages, linens, glassware, china and silverware and is carried at the lower of cost or market value.

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

Furniture, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment, furniture and fixtures, and computer software are depreciated over three-year and five-year lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals or improvements to such assets are capitalized.  We had recorded accumulated depreciation associated with our furniture, fixtures and equipment of $325,839 at December 31, 2006.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We account for certain investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting because we exercise significant influence over, but do not control these entities.  These investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for our share of equity in earnings and distributions.  We report our share of income and losses based on our ownership interests in the entities.  As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had no investments accounted for under the equity method.

In connection with the acquisition of investments in joint ventures, we incur certain acquisition and advisory fees that are paid to an affiliate.  These fees are capitalized as part of our basis in the investments in joint ventures.  We amortize any excess of the carrying value of our investments in joint ventures over the book value of the underlying equity over the estimated useful lives of the underlying tangible real estate assets, which represents the assets to which the excess is most clearly related.

Deferred Financing Fees

Deferred financing fees are recorded at cost and are amortized using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method over the life of the related debt.  Accumulated amortization associated with deferred financing fees was $1,864,350 and $998,230 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize rental income generated from leases on real estate assets on the straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, including the effect of rent holidays, if any.  The total net increase to rental revenues due to straight-line rent adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $316,388, $348,121, and $117,177, respectively.  As discussed above, our rental revenue also includes amortization of above and below market leases.  Any payments made to tenants that are considered lease incentives or inducements are being amortized to revenue over the life of the respective leases.  We also recognize revenue from operations of a hotel.  The revenues are recognized when earned.  Revenues relating to lease termination fees are recognized at the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the space is terminated and when we have satisfied all obligations under the agreement.

Preopening Costs

Preopening costs are expensed as incurred, consistent with SOP 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities.”  Expenses incurred include payroll and payroll related expenses, marketing expenses, outside services and other expenses related to the construction of the hotel located on approximately 5.4 acres (unaudited) of land in Dallas, Texas (the “Mockingbird Commons Property”).  The hotel became operational in September 2006.

F-11




Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

Offering Costs

The General Partners funded all of the organization and offering costs on our behalf.  We were required to reimburse them for such organization and offering costs up to 2.5% of the cumulative capital raised by us in the Offering, which terminated on February 19, 2005.  Organization and offering costs include items such as legal and accounting fees, marketing, promotional and printing costs.  All offering costs were recorded as an offset to partners’ capital, and all organization costs were recorded as an expense at the time we became liable for the payment of these amounts.

Cash Flow Distributions

Net cash distributions, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, are to be distributed to the partners as follows:

a)                                      To the limited partners, on a per unit basis, until each of such limited partners has received distributions of net cash from operations with respect to such fiscal year, or applicable portion thereof, equal to ten percent (10%) per annum of their net capital contribution;

b)                                     Then to the limited partners, on a per unit basis, until each limited partner has received or has been deemed to have received one hundred percent (100%) of their net capital contribution; and

c)                                      Thereafter, eighty-five percent (85%) to the limited partners, on a per unit basis, and fifteen percent (15%) to the General Partners.

Other limitations of allocated or received distributions are defined within the Partnership Agreement.

Income (Loss) Allocations

Net income for each applicable accounting period is allocated to the partners as follows:

a)                                      To the partners to the extent of and in proportion to allocations of net loss as noted below; and

b)                                     Then, so as to cause the capital accounts of all partners to permit liquidating distributions to be made in the same manner and priority as set forth in the Partnership Agreement with respect to net cash distributions.

Net loss for each applicable accounting period is allocated to the partners as follows:

a)                                      To the partners having positive balances in their capital accounts (in proportion to the aggregate positive balances in all capital accounts) in an amount not to exceed such positive balance as of the last day of the fiscal year; and

b)                                     Then, eighty-five percent (85%) to the limited partners and fifteen percent (15%) to the General Partners.

Income Taxes

We are not a taxpaying entity and, accordingly, record no income taxes.  The partners are individually responsible for reporting their share of our taxable income or loss on their income tax returns.

Certain of our transactions may be subject to accounting methods for income tax purposes that differ from the accounting methods used in preparing these financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  Accordingly, our net income or loss and the resulting balances in the partners’ capital accounts reported for income tax purposes may differ from the balances reported for those same items in the accompanying financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on deposit in financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels.  We regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Reportable Segments

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments.  We have determined that we have one reportable segment, with activities related to the ownership, development and management of income producing properties.  Our income producing properties generated 100% of our consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.  Management evaluates operating performance on an individual property level.  However, as each of our properties has similar economic characteristics, our income producing properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

F-12




Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP

For the years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

Minority Interest

We hold a direct or indirect majority controlling interest in certain real estate partnerships and thus, consolidate the accounts with and into our accounts.  Minority interest in partnerships represents the third-party partners’ proportionate share of the equity in consolidated real estate partnerships.  Income and losses are allocated to minority interest holders based on their weighted average percentage ownership during the year.

Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit

Net loss per limited partnership unit is calculated by dividing the net loss allocated to limited partners for each period by the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during such period.  Net loss per limited partnership unit on a basic and diluted basis is the same because the Partnership has no potential dilutive limited partnership units outstanding.

3.             New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which clarifies the relevant criteria and approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions.  FIN 48 was effective beginning January 1, 2007 and the adoption of FIN 48 did not to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies only to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”).  The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates.  A business entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date.  The fair value option:  (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments.  FASB No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 159 will have on our financial statements.

Acquisitions

On May 15, 2006, we acquired a 1.56 acre (unaudited) site in Telluride, Colorado (the “Telluride Property”) through our direct and indirect interests in our wholly-owned subsidiary, Behringer Harvard Mountain Village, LLC.  We are the Class A member of Behringer Harvard Mountain Village, LLC with a 100% interest, and two unaffiliated parties, BMRAE I LP and CBCM, Ltd, are the Class B members.  We plan to construct 23 luxury condominium units on the 1.56 acre (unaudited) site under a development agreement with Amicus Interest, LLC, a Texas-based real estate development firm that will also manage the construction and marketing of the project.  Construction is expected to reach completion in January 2008.  The purchase price for the Telluride Property was approximately $6,900,000.  We paid the entire cost of the Telluride Property through the use of proceeds from the Offering.

Pro Forma Results of Operations (Unaudited)

The following summary presents the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 on an unaudited pro forma basis, as if the acquisitions that occurred during 2004 had occurred as of January 1, 2004.  On February 11, 2004, we commenced operations with our acquisition of a five-story office building in Dallas, Texas containing approximately 1.7 acres (unaudited) of land subject to a ground lease that expires in 2097 (collectively, the “Woodall Rodgers Improved Property”).  We also acquired 1.6 acres (unaudited) of undeveloped land adjoining the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property (the “Woodall Rodgers Development Property,” and together with the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property, the “Woodall Rodgers Property”).  As of December 31, 2004, we owned interests in six properties.  The pro forma results are for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results which would have occurred had the transaction been consummated as of January 1, 2004, nor are they indicative of results of operations which may occur in the future.

Dispositions

On July 24, 2006, we sold the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property through our affiliate, Behringer Harvard Woodall Rodgers LP, to an unaffiliated third party.  The contract sale price was $10,450,000.  We realized a gain of approximately $2,758,000 from the sale of the Woodall Rodgers Property during the year ended December 31, 2006.  We acquired the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property and an adjoining 1.6 acres of undeveloped land (the “Woodall Rodgers Development Property”) on February 11, 2004 for a total purchase price of $10,700,000.  We sold the Woodall Rodgers Development Property on April 6, 2005 for a contract sale price of $4,194,828 and recognized a gain of approximately $1,096,000.

5.             Investments in Joint Ventures

During 2005, we acquired additional ownership interests in a neighborhood shopping/service center at the southeast corner of Skillman Street and Audelia Road in Dallas, Texas (the “Skillman Property”) and a six-story office building in Dallas, Texas (the “Central Property”).  Our ownership in the Skillman Property increased from 85.71% at December 31, 2004 to 100% on May 23, 2005.  As a result, the Skillman Property has been consolidated into our results as of May 23, 2005.  Whereas, from January 1, 2005 through May 22, 2005 and all of 2004, it was accounted for under the equity method.  Our ownership interest in the Central Property increased from 50% at December 31, 2004 to 56.25% on August 31, 2005.  On October 31, 2005 we acquired an additional 6.25% interest in the Central Property resulting in our 62.5% ownership and consolidation of the Central Property into our results as of October 31, 2005.  From January 1, 2005 through October 30, 2005 and for all of 2004, results of the Central Property were accounted for under the equity method. 

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we recorded $801,497 and $414,052, respectively, of equity in losses from our investments in joint ventures.  Our equity in losses from these joint ventures includes our 50.0% share of the loss from the Central Property through August 31, 2005 and our 56.25% share of the loss of the Central Property for September 1, 2005 through October 30, 2005.  Our equity in losses from joint venture investments also includes our 85.71% share of the loss of the Skillman Property through May 22, 2005.  The following table represents the results of operations for our investments in joint ventures during 2004:

We incurred acquisition expenses totaling $492,247 and $173,153 in connection with the acquisition of the investments in the Skillman and Central Properties, respectively.  These expenses were capitalized as part of our basis in these investments.  During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we recorded amortization of $8,848 and $7,562, respectively, for the Skillman Property and $5,765 and $2,313, respectively, for the Central Property related to the excess of our carrying value of our investments in joint ventures over the underlying equity.  This amortization is included in equity in earnings of joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the period in which these properties were accounted for under the equity method for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

6.             Capitalized Costs

On November 8, 2004, we acquired a 70% interest in the Mockingbird Commons Property through our direct and indirect partnership interests in Behringer Harvard Mockingbird Commons LP (“the Mockingbird Commons Partnership”).  The site is being redeveloped as a 475,000 square foot mixed-use project with a boutique hotel, high-rise luxury condominiums and retail stores (“Hotel Palomar”).  The hotel began operations in September 2006.  The luxury condominiums and retail stores are expected to be completed in 2007.  Certain redevelopment costs associated with the Mockingbird Commons Property have been capitalized on our balance sheet at December 31, 2006.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we capitalized a total of $45,123,695 and $21,794,886, respectively, in costs associated with the development of the Mockingbird Commons Property.  Capitalized costs include interest, property taxes, insurance and construction costs.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we capitalized $4,044,249 and $1,521,348, respectively, in interest and deferred financing costs for the Mockingbird Commons Property.

On March 3, 2005, we acquired an 80% interest in the Northwest Highway Property.  The site is planned for development into high-end residential lots for the future sale to luxury home builders.  The Northwest Highway Property currently has no operations, and no operations are planned.  Development is expected to be completed in early 2007.  Certain development costs associated with the Northwest Highway Property have been capitalized on our balance sheet at December 31, 2006.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we capitalized a total of $1,057,712 and $1,070,744 respectively, in costs associated with the development of the Northwest Highway Property.  During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we capitalized $438,306 and $279,364, respectively, in interest and deferred financing costs for the Northwest Highway Property.

On May 15, 2006, we acquired a 100% interest in the Telluride Property.  We plan to construct 23 luxury condominium units on the 1.56 acre (unaudited) site.  Construction is expected to reach completion in January 2008.  The Telluride Property currently has no operations.  Certain development costs associated with the Telluride Property have been capitalized on our balance sheet at December 31, 2006.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, we capitalized a total of $4,957,697 in costs associated with the development of the Telluride Property.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we capitalized $405,893 in interest and deferred financing costs for the Telluride Property.

Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

On September 1, 2005, we entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Revolver Lender”).  Borrowings available under the Revolver Agreement may total up to $11,250,000, subject to limitations based on the cost and value of the collateral for the facility (the “Revolver”).  The Revolver is further evidenced by a promissory note from us to the Revolver Lender.  The Revolver Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $10,000,000, which if issued, would reduce the amount of funds available under the Revolver.  On April 20, 2006, we borrowed the maximum amount of $11,250,000 under the Revolver Agreement.  The Revolver Agreement allows us to elect, for each advance of funds, an interest rate per annum of the prime rate or an interest rate based on the 30-day LIBOR or a combination of each.  We elected to use the interest rate based on the 30-day LIBOR rate, and at December 31, 2006, the interest rate on the Revolver was 30-day LIBOR plus 1.75%, or approximately 7.1%.  The balance under the Revolver Agreement, as of December 31, 2006, was $11,250,000.  The Revolver has a three-year term with the option to extend for one additional year.  Monthly payments of interest are required.  Prepayment of principal can be made in full at any time and in part from time to time.  Borrowings under the Revolver Agreement will be used by us for working capital needs and, to the extent applicable, for payment of other obligations.  The 250/290 Carpenter Property is subject to a deed of trust to secure payment under the Revolver Agreement.  In addition, we have guaranteed payment of any borrowings made under the Revolver Agreement.

On October 5, 2005, we acquired a 60% interest in the ownership of 72.26 acres (unaudited) of land in Collin County, Texas (the “Melissa Land”), through our direct ownership interest in BHDGI, Ltd. (the “Melissa Land Partnership”).  On that same date, the Melissa Land Partnership borrowed $2,000,000 under a loan agreement (the “Melissa Land Loan”) with Dallas City Bank (the “Melissa Land Lender”).  The interest rate under the Melissa Land Loan was equal to the lesser of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus one-half of one percent (0.5%) or (ii) the maximum rate allowed by law with interest being calculated on the unpaid principal.  A final payment of the principal and unpaid interest was due on September 29, 2006, the original maturity date.  We guaranteed payment of the obligation in the event that, among other things, the Melissa Land Partnership became insolvent or entered into bankruptcy proceedings and the Melissa Land was subject to a deed of trust to collateralize payment of the Melissa Land Loan.  On September 29, 2006, the Melissa Land Lender and the Melissa Land Partnership agreed to modify certain terms of the Melissa Land Loan.  Under the modified loan agreement, payments of unpaid accrued interest are due on March 29, 2007 and June 29, 2007, with a final payment of the unpaid principal and unpaid accrued interest due and payable on September 29, 2007.  All other terms of the Melissa Land Loan remain in effect.  The balance under the Melissa Land Loan at December 31, 2006 was $2,000,000.

On October 12, 2006, Behringer Harvard Mountain Village, LLC (the “Borrower”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a construction loan agreement (the “Telluride Loan Agreement”) with Texans Commercial Capital, LLC (the “Telluride Lender”), an unaffiliated third party.  Borrowings under the Telluride Loan Agreement may total up to $31,650,000.  The Telluride Loan Agreement is further evidenced by a promissory note from the Borrower for the benefit of the Telluride Lender.  The interest rate under the Telluride Loan Agreement is equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus three-quarters of one percent (0.75%), with interest being calculated on the unpaid principal.  Monthly payments of unpaid accrued interest were due beginning November 1, 2006.  A principal payment in the amount of $5,000,000 is due and payable on October 1, 2008, unless, prior to that date, the Borrower has delivered to the Telluride Lender valid pre-sale contracts of luxury condominiums of not less than $6,000,000.  A final payment of the principal and unpaid accrued interest is due and payable on October 1, 2009, the maturity date.  The Borrower may extend the maturity date of the Telluride Loan Agreement for one year upon receipt of (i) Borrower’s written request and (ii) a loan extension fee equal to 0.5% of the then outstanding balance if certain conditions are met.  Prepayment of principal can be made, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, at any time, but with accrued interest to the date of prepayment. Advances from the Telluride Loan Agreement will be used to fund the construction of 23 luxury condominium units on the Telluride Property.  Behringer Harvard Advisors II LP, one of our general partners, received a financing fee of $316,500.  The balance of the Telluride Loan Agreement was $3,933,900 at December 31, 2006.

As of December 31, 2006, approximately $87,800,000 of the outstanding balance of our notes payable is due within the next twelve months.  Of that amount, approximately $81,400,000 of the notes payable agreements contain a provision to extend the maturity date for at least one additional year if certain conditions are met.  We expect to use cash flows from operations and proceeds from the disposition of properties to continue making our scheduled debt service payments until the maturity dates of the loans are extended, the loans are refinanced, or the outstanding balance of the loans are completely paid off.  There is no guaranty that we will be able to refinance our borrowings with more or less favorable terms or extend the maturity dates of such loans.

Generally, our notes payable mature approximately three to five years from origination.  The majority of our notes payable require payments of interest only, with all unpaid principal and interest due at maturity.  Our loan agreements stipulate that we comply with certain reporting and financial covenants.  These covenants include, among other things, notifying the lender of any change in management and maintaining minimum debt service coverage.  At December 31, 2006,

9.             Commitments and Contingencies

In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN No. 47, specifying the accounting treatment for conditional asset retirement obligations under the provisions of SFAS No. 143.  We have identified conditional asset retirement obligations at a certain number of our properties that are mainly related to asbestos removal.  Under FIN 47, which we adopted on December 31, 2005, we are required to record the fair value of these conditional liabilities if they can be reasonably estimated.  We believe that, as of December 31, 2006, we have incurred and paid all costs associated with these asset retirement obligations.  We will recognize any additional costs incurred for these conditional asset retirement obligations in the periods in which the costs are incurred or sufficient information becomes available to reasonably estimate their fair values.

We have capital leases covering certain equipment.  Future minimum lease payments for all capital leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more at December 31 are as follows:

11.          Partners’ Capital

We initiated the declaration of monthly distributions in March 2004 in the amount of a 3% annualized rate of return, based on an investment in our limited partnership units of $10 per unit.  Prior to the termination of the DRIP on January 21, 2005, unit holders were permitted to receive additional limited partnership units in lieu of a cash distribution.  We record all distributions when declared, except that the limited partnership units issued through the DRIP were recorded when the units were actually issued.  On November 10, 2006, we paid a special distribution of approximately $4,980,000, as a result of the sale of the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property, to limited partners of record as of November 1, 2006.  Additionally, we paid a special distribution in the amount of approximately $1,096,000 on June 1, 2005, as a result of the gain recognized on the sale of the Woodall Rodgers Development Property. The distribution was made to limited partners of record as of May 15, 2005.  Beginning with the November 2006 monthly distribution, distributions in the amount of a 3% annualized rate of return are based on an investment in our limited partnership units of $9.44 per unit as a result of the special distributions made in 2006 and 2005.  Distributions payable at December 31, 2006 were $259,866.

The following are the total distributions declared during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

12.          Related Party Arrangements

The General Partners and certain of their affiliates are entitled to receive fees and compensation in connection with the acquisition, management and sale of our assets, and have received fees in the past in connection with the Offering.  Our General Partners have agreed that all of the financial benefits of serving as our general partner will be allocated to Behringer Advisors II since it is anticipated that the day-to-day responsibilities of serving as our general partner will be performed by Behringer Advisors II through the executive officers of its general partners.

During the term of the Offering, Behringer Securities LP (“Behringer Securities”), our affiliated dealer manager, received commissions of up to 7% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers.  In addition, up to 2.5% of gross proceeds before reallowance to participating broker-dealers was paid to Behringer Securities as a dealer manager fee; except that this dealer manager fee was reduced to 1% of the gross proceeds of purchases made pursuant to the distribution reinvestment feature of our DRIP, which was terminated on January 21, 2005.  Behringer Securities reallowed all of its commissions to participating broker-dealers and reallowed a portion of its dealer manager fee of up to 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds to such participating broker-dealers as marketing fees and due diligence expense reimbursement.  Behringer Securities did not earn selling and dealer manager fees for the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of the termination of the Offering on February 19, 2005.  For the year ended December 31, 2005, Behringer Securities earned $2,618,389 in selling commissions and $1,016,332 in dealer manager fees.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, Behringer Securities earned $4,059,019 in selling commissions and $1,579,368 in dealer manager

Behringer Advisors II or its affiliates receive acquisition and advisory fees of up to 3% of the contract purchase price of each asset for the acquisition, development or construction of real property.  Behringer Advisors II or its affiliates also receive up to 0.5% of the contract purchase price of the assets acquired by us for reimbursement of expenses related to making investments.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, Behringer Advisors II earned $183,300 of acquisition and advisory fees and was reimbursed $30,550 for acquisition-related expenses.  During the year ended December 31, 2005, Behringer Advisors II earned $3,518,482 of acquisition and advisory fees and was reimbursed $586,414 for acquisition-related expenses.  During the year ended December 31, 2004, Behringer Advisors II earned $1,725,295 of acquisition and advisory fees and was reimbursed $287,549 for acquisition-related expenses.

For the management and leasing of our properties, we pay HPT Management Services LP (“HPT Management”), our property manager, property management and leasing fees equal to the lesser of:  (a) the amounts charged by unaffiliated persons rendering comparable services in the same geographic area or (b)(1) for commercial properties that are not leased on a long-term net lease basis, 4.5% of gross revenues, plus separate leasing fees of up to 1.5% of gross revenues based upon the customary leasing fees applicable to the geographic location of the properties, and (2) in the case of commercial properties that are leased on a long-term net lease basis (ten or more years), 1% of gross revenues plus a one-time initial leasing fee of 3% of gross revenues payable over the first five years of the lease term.  We reimburse the costs and expenses incurred by HPT Management on our behalf, including the wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of all on-site employees of HPT Management who are engaged in the operation, management, maintenance and leasing or access control of our properties, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating to such employees, and legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the management of specific properties.  During the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we incurred property management fees payable to HPT Management of $748,177 and $520,527, respectively, of which $50,236 and $89,463, respectively, is included in loss from discontinued operations.  During the year ended December 31, 2004, we incurred property management fees payable to HPT Management of $115,655, of which $63,135 is included in loss from discontinued operations.

In connection with the sale of our properties, we will pay to the General Partners or their affiliates a real estate commission in an amount not exceeding the lesser of: (a) 50% of the reasonable, customary and competitive real estate brokerage commissions customarily paid for the sale of a comparable property in light of the size, type and location of the property, or (b) 3% of the gross sales price of each property, subordinated to distributions to limited partners from the sale proceeds of an amount which, together with prior distributions to the limited partners, will equal (1) 100% of their capital contributions plus (2) a 10% annual cumulative (noncompounded) return of their net capital contributions.  Subordinated real estate commissions that are not payable at the date of sale, because limited partners have not yet received their required minimum distributions, will be deferred and paid at such time as these subordination conditions have been satisfied.  In

addition, after the limited partners have received a return of their net capital contributions and a 10% annual cumulative (noncompounded) return on their net capital contributions, then the General Partners are entitled to receive 15% of the remaining residual proceeds available for distribution (a subordinated participation in net sale proceeds and distributions); provided, however, that in no event will the General Partners receive in the aggregate more than 15% of sale proceeds remaining after the limited partners have received a return of their net capital contributions.  Since the conditions above have not been met at this time, we incurred no such real estate commissions for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 or 2004.

We will pay Behringer Advisors II or its affiliates a debt financing fee for certain debt made available to us.  We incurred $316,500 of such debt financing fees for the year ended December 31, 2006.  We incurred no such debt financing fees for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

We are dependent on Behringer Advisors II and HPT Management for certain services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition and disposition decisions, property management and leasing services and other general and administrative responsibilities.  In the event that these companies were unable to provide the respective services to us, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.

13.          Discontinued Operations

On July 24, 2006, we sold the Woodall Rodgers Improved Property, which contained approximately 74,090 rentable square feet (unaudited), to an unaffiliated third party for a contract sale price of $10,450,000.  We realized a gain on sale of approximately $2,758,000 from the sale during the year ended December 31, 2006, which is classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Proceeds from the sale were used to completely pay off the then outstanding balance on the debt associated with the Woodall Rodgers Property of approximately $4,525,000 with the remaining proceeds distributed to unitholders in a special distribution on November 10, 2006.  In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the results of operations for the Woodall Rodgers Property are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Certain amounts in the accompanying 2005 and 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

14.          Fair Value Disclosure of Financial Instruments

The following disclosure of estimated fair values was determined by us using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, management estimated the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and distributions payable were at amounts that reasonably approximated their fair value based on their short-term maturities.

For the years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

The notes payable totaling approximately $135,300,000 as of December 31, 2006 have a fair value of approximately $134,100,000 based upon interest rates for mortgages with similar terms and remaining maturities that we believe the Partnership could obtain.

The fair value estimate presented herein is based on information available to management as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amount, such amount has not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since that date, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of
Behringer Harvard Plaza Skillman LP:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Behringer Harvard Plaza Skillman LP (the “Partnership”) as of May 22, 2005 and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2005 through May 22, 2005 (date prior to consolidation by the Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP).  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 Partnership 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 Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership at May 22, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 2005 through May 22, 2005 (date prior to consolidation by the Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Behringer Harvard Plaza Skillman LP
Notes to Financial Statements

1.             Organization

Behringer Harvard Plaza Skillman LP (which may be referred to as the “Partnership”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed as a Texas limited partnership on July 23, 2004 in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Partnership agreement.  Behringer Harvard Plaza Skillman GP LLC (the “General Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP (the “Fund”), is the General Partner of the Partnership.  The Fund and Audelia Plaza, Ltd. (“Audelia”) are both Class A limited partners of the Partnership and have an approximate 86% and 14% interest in the Partnership, respectively.  Dunhill Partners, Inc. (“Dunhill”) is the sole Class B limited partner of the Partnership.

The Partnership was formed for the purpose of owning and holding for investment a neighborhood shopping/service center containing approximately 98,764 rentable square feet (unaudited), located on 7.3 acres of land (unaudited) at the southeast corner of Skillman Street and Audelia Road in Dallas, Texas (the “Property”).

On May 23, 2005, the Fund purchased the 14.29% interest in the Partnership from Audelia, resulting in the Fund’s 100% direct ownership and consolidation of the Property with and into the Fund’s consolidated accounts subsequent to that date.  The Partnership financial statements are included herein up to the date of consolidation by the Fund.

The Partnership shall continue until December 31, 2053, unless the partners elect to terminate the Partnership prior to that date.

2.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates include such items as purchase price allocation for real estate acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization and allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate

Upon the acquisition of the Property, we allocated the purchase price to the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and building, identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair values in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  Identified intangible assets consisted of the fair value of above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and tenant relationships.  Initial valuations were subject to change until our information was finalized, which was no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.

The fair value of the tangible assets acquired, consisting of the land and building, was determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value was then allocated to the land and building.  The land value was derived from an appraisal, and the building value was calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or management’s estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods.  The value of the commercial office buildings is being depreciated over the estimated useful life of 25 years using the straight-line method.

We determined the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.  We recorded the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.

The total value of identified real estate intangible assets acquired were further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant.  The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships was determined by applying a fair value model.  The estimates of fair value of in-place leases included an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces, considering current market conditions.  In estimating fair value of in-place leases, we considered items such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period and carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not been in place, including tenant improvements and commissions.  The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also included costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant improvements as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis.

We determined the fair value of assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled note payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that we believe we could obtain.  Any difference

F-30




Behringer Harvard Plaza Skillman LP
Notes to Financial Statements

between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt was recorded as a premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan.

We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the term of the respective leases.  The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.  Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and tenant relationship intangibles is charged to expense.  The estimated remaining useful lives of our acquired lease intangibles as of May 22, 2005 range from 0.1 years to 11.1 years.

Anticipated amortization associated with acquired lease intangibles for each of the following five years ended December 31 is as follows:

Investment Impairments

Management monitors events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable.  When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset, including its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset.  In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value.

For real estate owned by us at each reporting date, management compares the estimated fair value of its investment to the carrying value.  An impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline.  There were no impairment charges during the periods from July 24, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2005 through May 22, 2005.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes monies to be held in escrow for insurance, taxes and other reserves as required by our lenders.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consists of receivables from tenants related to the property.  We recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts associated with accounts receivable of $33,458 at May 22, 2005.

F-31




Behringer Harvard Plaza Skillman LP
Notes to Financial Statements

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Prepaid expenses and other assets include prepaid insurance of the property.

Deferred Financing Fees

Deferred financing fees are recorded at cost and are amortized using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method over the life of the related debt.  Accumulated amortization associated with deferred financing fees was $12,767 at May 22, 2005.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize rental income generated from leases on real estate assets on the straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, including the effect of rent holidays, if any.  The total net increase to rental revenues due to straight-line rent adjustments for the periods from July 24, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2005 through May 22, 2005 was $14,060 and $4,973, respectively.  As discussed above, our rental revenue also includes amortization of above and below market leases.  Any payments made to tenants that are considered lease incentives or inducements are being amortized to revenue over the life of the respective leases.  Revenues relating to lease termination fees are recognized at the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the space is terminated and when we have satisfied all obligations under the agreement.

Income Taxes

We are not a taxpaying entity and, accordingly, record no income taxes.  The partners are individually responsible for reporting their share of our taxable income or loss on their income tax returns.

Certain of our transactions may be subject to accounting methods for income tax purposes that differ from the accounting methods used in preparing these financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  Accordingly, our net income or loss and the resulting balances in the partners’ capital accounts reported for income tax purposes may differ from the balances reported for those same items in the accompanying financial statements.

3.             Partners’ Capital

Income and Loss Allocation

In accordance with the Partnership agreement, profits and losses for each fiscal year are allocated among the partners so as to reduce, proportionately, in the case of any profits, the difference between their respective target account (the hypothetical amount that each partner would receive upon the liquidation of the Partnership, as defined by the Partnership agreement) and their partially adjusted capital accounts (the capital account of each partner at the beginning of the year, adjusted for allocations of items of income, gain, loss or deduction not included in the current year income allocation and all capital contributions and distributions during such period for such fiscal year, as defined by the Partnership agreement) and, in the case of losses, the difference between their respective partially adjusted capital accounts and target accounts for such fiscal year.

Distributions

Within twenty (20) days following the end of each month (unless otherwise approved by a partnership vote), the Partnership distributes excess cash (as defined by the Partnership agreement) in the following order of priority:

·                  First, to the General Partner and the Class A limited partners in proportion to their respective Additional Capital Contribution Account balances (as defined by the Partnership agreement) until their respective Additional Capital Contribution Account balances are reduced to zero;

·                  Next, to the General Partner and the Class A limited partners in proportion to their respective Initial Capital Contribution Account balances until their respective Initial Capital Contribution Account balances (as defined by the Partnership agreement) are reduced to zero;

·                  Next, to the General Partner and the Class A limited partner, pro rata in accordance with their Residual Percentages (as defined by the Partnership agreement) until the General Partner and the Class A limited partners have received distributions sufficient to provide an internal rate of return of fifteen percent (15%) to such partners;

·                  Next, seventy five percent (75%) to the General Partner and the Class A limited partners pro rata in accordance with their Residual Percentages (as defined by the Partnership agreement), and twenty five percent (25%) to the Class B limited partner, until the General Partner and the Class A limited partners have received distributions sufficient to provide an internal rate of return of twenty percent (20%) to such partners; and

·                  Thereafter, fifty percent (50%) to the General Partner and the Class A limited partners pro rata in accordance with their Residual Percentages (as defined by the Partnership agreement), and fifty percent (50%) to the Class B limited partner.

5.                          Note Payable

The Partnership’s debt is comprised of a mortgage loan on the Property with LaSalle Bank National Association, in its capacity as trustee for the Registered Holders of LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2001-C3 (the “Loan”), and is collateralized by the Property.  The Loan was assumed in connection with the acquisition of the Property, with remaining principal outstanding of $10,138,846.  The Loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $71,926 through April 2011 and bears interest at an annual rate of 7.34%.  The Loan is subject to certain debt service coverage ratio requirements, with which the Property is compliant as of May 22, 2005.

In connection with the allocation of the purchase price of the property to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Partnership recorded the Loan at its estimated fair value of $10,777,473, which includes an adjustment of $638,627, based on an estimated market interest rate of 6.25%.  The adjustment for the fair value is treated as a premium on the Loan amount and is being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the life of the note in such a way as to result in a constant rate of interest when applied to the amount outstanding at the beginning of any given period.  During the periods from July 23, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2004 and from January 1, 2005 through May 22, 2005, the Partnership recorded $29,284 and $29,460, respectively, of amortization of the premium as a reduction to interest expense.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligation for principle payments on the Loan (excluding unamortized premium) at May 22, 2005:

6.             Related Party Transactions

HPT Management Services LP (the “Property Manager”), an affiliate of the Partnership, has the sole and exclusive right to manage, operate, lease, and supervise the overall maintenance of the Property.  Under the terms of the management agreement, the Property Manager receives a property management fee equal to 4.5% of the monthly gross cash rents received by the Partnership.  The management agreement with the Property Manager will continue until June 2, 2010 and thereafter for successive seven-year renewal periods, unless the Property Manager notifies the Partnership of their intent to terminate the agreement.  The Property Manager has subcontracted certain of its on-site management services to unrelated third-parties.  Total management fees earned by the Property Manager from July 23, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2004 were $48,516.  Total management fees earned by the Property Manager from January 1, 2005 through May 22, 2005 were $27,902.

The Partnership also pays Behringer Advisors II LP (“Advisors II”) an affiliate of the Partnership, an annual advisor asset management fee of 0.5% of the aggregate value of the assets of the Partnership.  Total asset management fees earned by Advisors II during the periods from July 23, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2005 through May 22, 2005 were $31,222 and 28,158, respectively.

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 Partnership 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 Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership at October 30, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 2005 through October 30, 2005 (date prior to consolidation by the Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Behringer Harvard 4245 Central LP

Notes to Financial Statements

1.                                      Organization

Behringer Harvard 4245 Central LP (the “Partnership”) was formed as a Texas limited partnership on July 12, 2004 in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Partnership agreement.  Behringer Harvard 4245 Central GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP (the “Fund”), is the general partner of the Partnership with a 0.1% ownership interest in the Partnership.  The limited partners of the Partnership were the Fund, Realty America Group (4245 Central), LP (“RAG”), HSAD Partners and BGO Investments, with ownership interests in and initial distribution rates of 49.9%, 37.5%, 6.25% and 6.25%, respectively.

The Partnership was formed for the purpose of owning and holding for investment a six-story office building containing approximately 87,292 rentable square feet (unaudited), located on approximately 0.66 acres of land (unaudited) just north of downtown Dallas, Texas (the “Property”).  The office building was purchased on August 17, 2004.

On September 21, 2005, the Fund entered into an agreement with HSAD Partners, assigning their 6.25% interest in the Partnership, effective August 31, 2005. The Fund also acquired the 6.25% interest of BGO Investments on October 31, 2005, resulting in the Fund’s 62.5% ownership of the Partnership and consolidation of the Property’s results with and into the Fund’s consolidated accounts subsequent to October 31, 2005.  The Partnership financial statements are included herein up to date of consolidation by the Fund.

The Partnership shall continue until December 31, 2054, unless the partners elect to terminate the Partnership prior to that date.

2.                                      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates include such items as purchase price allocation for real estate acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization and allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate

Upon the acquisition of the Property, we allocated the purchase price to the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and building, identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair values in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  Identified intangible assets consisted of the fair value of above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and tenant relationships.  Initial valuations were subject to change until our information was finalized, which was no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.

The fair value of the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and buildings, was determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value was then allocated to land and building.  The land value was derived from an appraisal, and the building value was calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or management’s estimate of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods.  The value of the commercial office building is being depreciated over the estimated useful life of 25 years using the straight-line method.

We determined the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases for the Property based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.  We recorded the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.

The total value of identified real estate intangible assets acquired was further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant.  The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships was determined by applying a fair value model.  The estimates of fair value of in-place leases include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces, considering current market conditions.  In estimating fair value of in-place leases, we considered items such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period and carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not been in place, including tenant improvements and commissions.  The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also included costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant improvements as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis.

Behringer Harvard 4245 Central LP

Notes to Financial Statements

We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the term of the respective leases.  The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.  Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and tenant relationship intangibles would be charged to expense.  The estimated remaining useful lives of our acquired lease intangibles as of October 30, 2005 range from 0.2 years to 10.6 years.

Anticipated amortization associated with acquired lease intangibles for each of the following five years ended December 31 is as follows:

Investment Impairments

Management monitors events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable.  When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset, including its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset.  In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value.

For real estate owned by us at each reporting date, management compares the estimated fair value of its investment to the carrying value.  An impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline.  There were no impairment charges during the periods from July 12, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2005 through October 30, 2005.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents reported on the balance sheet approximates fair value.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes monies to be held in escrow for insurance, taxes and other reserves as required by our lenders.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consists of receivables from tenants related to the property.  We recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts associated with accounts receivable of $48,759 at October 30, 2005.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Prepaid expenses and other assets include prepaid insurance of the property.

Notes to Financial Statements

Deferred Financing Fees

Deferred financing fees are recorded at cost and are amortized using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method over the life of the related debt.  Accumulated amortization associated with deferred financing fees was $58,514 at October 30, 2005.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize rental income generated from leases on real estate assets on the straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, including the effect of rent holidays, if any.  The total net increase to rental revenues due to straight-line rent adjustments for the periods from July 12, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2005 through October 30, 2005 was $6,738 and $11,851, respectively.  As discussed above, our rental revenue also includes amortization of above and below market leases.  Any payments made to tenants that are considered lease incentives or inducements are being amortized to revenue over the life of the respective leases.  Revenues relating to lease termination fees are recognized at the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the space is terminated and when we have satisfied all obligations under the agreement.

Income Taxes

We are not a taxpaying entity and, accordingly, record no income taxes.  The partners are individually responsible for reporting their share of our taxable income or loss on their income tax returns.

Certain of our transactions may be subject to accounting methods for income tax purposes that differ from the accounting methods used in preparing these financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  Accordingly, our net income or loss and the resulting balances in the partners’ capital accounts reported for income tax purposes may differ from the balances reported for those same items in the accompanying financial statements.

3.                                      Partners’ Capital

Income and Loss Allocation

In accordance with the Partnership agreement, profits and losses for each fiscal year are allocated among the partners so as to reduce, proportionately, in the case of any profits, the difference between their respective target account (the hypothetical amount that each partner would receive upon the liquidation of the Partnership, as defined by the Partnership agreement) and their partially adjusted capital accounts (the capital account of each partner at the beginning of the year, adjusted for allocations of items of income, gain, loss or deduction not included in the current year income allocation and all capital contributions and distributions during such period for such fiscal year, as defined by the Partnership agreement) and, in the case of losses, the difference between their respective partially adjusted capital accounts and target accounts for such fiscal year.

Distributions

Within twenty (20) days following the end of each month (unless otherwise approved by a partnership vote), the Partnership distributes excess cash (as defined by the Partnership agreement) in the following order of priority:

·                  First, to the Partners in proportion to their respective Additional Capital Contribution Account balances (as defined by the Partnership agreement) until their respective Additional Capital Account balances are reduced to zero;

·                  Next, to the partners in proportion to their respective Initial Capital Contribution Account balances (as defined by the Partnership agreement) until their respective Initial Capital Contribution Account balances are reduced to zero;

·                  Next, to the partners, pro rata in accordance with their Residual Percentages (as defined by the Partnership agreement) until the partners have received distributions sufficient to provide the threshold return to such partners; and

·                  Thereafter, to the partners, pro rata in accordance with their Residual Percentages.

5.                                      Note Payable

The Partnership’s debt consists of a mortgage loan (the “Loan”) on the Property with Bank of America and is collateralized by the Property.  The Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and will mature on August 17, 2007.  The three month LIBOR rate in place as of October 30, 2005 was approximately 4.5%.  The Loan agreement with the Partnership allows for additional advances of up to of $902,500 above the initial advance of $5,537,500.  Additional amounts advanced on the loan will be subject to certain use restrictions and covenants as specified by the loan agreement.  The Partnership has made additional draw requests of $90,362 above the initial advance on the Loan as of October 30, 2005.

Future scheduled principal payments on the Loan at October 30, 2005 are due as follows:

6.                                      Related Party Transactions

HPT Management Services LP (the “Property Manager”), an affiliate of the Partnership, has the sole and exclusive right to manage, operate, lease, and supervise the overall maintenance of the Property.  Under the terms of the management agreement, the Property Manager receives a property management fee equal to 4.5% of the monthly gross cash rents received by the Partnership.  The management agreement with the Property Manager will continue until June 2, 2010 and thereafter for successive seven year renewal periods, unless the Property Manager notifies the Partnership of their intent to terminate the agreement.  Total management fees earned by the Property Manager for the periods from July 12, 2004 (date on inception) through December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2005 through October 30, 2005 were $17,519 and $33,320.

The Property also pays Behringer Advisors II LP (“Advisors II”) an affiliate of the Partnership, an annual advisor asset management fee of 0.5% of the aggregate value of the assets of the Partnership.  Total asset management fees earned by Advisors II during the periods from July 12, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2004 and from January 1, 2005 through October 30, 2005 were $15,545 and $34,543, respectively.
