PART I
 
Item 1.   Business.
 
The use of the words, “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to NNN 2003 Value Fund, LLC and its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.
 
Our Company
 
NNN 2003 Value Fund, LLC was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on June 19, 2003. We were organized to acquire, own, operate and subsequently sell all or a portion of a number of unspecified properties believed to have higher than average potential for capital appreciation, or value-added properties. As of December 31, 2007, we held interests in eight properties, including five consolidated interests in office properties, or our consolidated properties, aggregating a total gross leaseable area, or GLA, of 837,000 square feet, and three unconsolidated interests in office properties, or our unconsolidated properties, aggregating a total GLA of 1,140,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2007, 64.9% of the total GLA of our consolidated properties was leased. Our principal objectives are to: (i) have the potential within approximately one to five years, subject to market conditions, to realize income on the sale of our properties; (ii) realize income through the acquisition, operation, development and sale of our properties or our interests in our properties; and (iii) make monthly distributions to our unit holders from cash generated from operations and capital transactions.
 
Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, LLC, or Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors (formerly known as Triple Net Properties, LLC), or our manager, manages us pursuant to the terms of an operating agreement, or the Operating Agreement. While we have no employees, certain executive officers and employees of our manager provide services to us pursuant to the Operating Agreement. Our manager engages affiliated entities, including Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., or Realty, to provide certain services to us. Realty serves as our property manager pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement and a property management agreement, or the Management Agreement. The Operating Agreement terminates upon our dissolution. The unit holders may not vote to terminate our manager prior to the termination of the Operating Agreement or our dissolution except for cause. The Management Agreement terminates with respect to each of our properties upon the earlier of the sale of each respective property or December 31, 2013. Realty may be terminated without cause prior to the termination of the Management Agreement or our dissolution, subject to certain conditions, including the payment by us to Realty of a termination fee as provided in the Management Agreement.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2006, NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., or NNN Realty Advisors, acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests of Triple Net Properties, LLC, NNN Capital Corp. and Realty. As a result, our manager is managed by executive officers appointed by the board of directors of NNN Realty Advisors and is no longer managed by a board of managers.
 
On December 7, 2007, NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Grubb & Ellis Company, or Grubb & Ellis. The combined company retained the Grubb & Ellis name and continues to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GBE.” In connection with the merger, Triple Net Properties, LLC and NNN Capital Corp. changed their name to Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, LLC and Grubb & Ellis Securities, Inc., respectively.
 
Our manager’s principal executive offices are located at 1551 N. Tustin Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Ana, California 92705 and its telephone number is (714) 667-8252. We make our periodic and current reports available on our manager’s website at www.gbe-realtyinvestors.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. They are also available for printing by any unit holder upon request. We do not maintain our own website or have an address or telephone number separate from our manager. Since we pay fees to our manager for its services, we do not pay rent for the use of their space.

Current Investment Objectives and Policies
 
Business Strategy
 
Our primary business strategy is to acquire properties with greater than average appreciation potential and realize gains upon disposition of the properties. In order to increase the value of our properties, we actively manage our property portfolio to seek to achieve gains in rental rates and occupancy, control operating expenses and maximize income from ancillary operations and services. In the case of land acquisitions, we expect to increase the value of the land by preparing the land for development. We intend to own and operate our properties for approximately one to five years and, after that time, depending upon market conditions and other factors, the property will be offered for sale. We believe that our recent acquisitions and dispositions of real estate investments will have a significant impact on our future results of operations. In the event of dispositions, if we do not redeploy the funds into additional acquisitions, our future results of operations could be negatively impacted due to the dilutive impact of the non-invested funds. Additionally, we may invest excess cash in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities or equity securities. Such investments may include, for example, investments in marketable securities, certificates of deposit and interest-bearing bank deposits.
 
Acquisition Strategies
 
We believe, based on our manager’s real estate experience, that our manager has the ability to identify properties capable of meeting our current investment objectives. In evaluating potential acquisitions, the primary factor we consider is the value-added investment potential of a property. We define value-added investing as investing in properties with a higher than average potential for capital appreciation by:
 
  •  targeting real estate in markets in an early stage of economic recovery;
 
  •  targeting unstabilized assets with significant lease-up opportunity;
 
  •  targeting assets in mature markets with existing rents below-market and significant near-term lease rollover; and
 
  •  targeting assets with solvable property-specific issues or development opportunities.
 
In addition, we consider a number of other factors relating to a property, including, without limitation, the following:
 
  •  current and projected cash flow;
 
  •  geographic location and type;
 
  •  construction quality and condition;
 
  •  ability of tenants to pay scheduled rent;
 
  •  lease terms and rent roll, including the potential for rent increases;
 
  •  potential for economic growth in the tax and regulatory environment of the community in which the property is located;
 
  •  potential for expanding the physical layout of the property;
 
  •  occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the same geographic vicinity;
 
  •  prospects for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing of the property;
 
  •  competition from existing properties and the potential for the construction of new properties in the area; and
 
  •  treatment under applicable federal, state and local tax and other laws and regulations.
 
Our manager has total discretion with respect to the selection of properties for acquisition, the percent of ownership we acquire and the type of ownership interest we purchase in a given property.

Table of Contents

We will not close the acquisition of any property unless and until we obtain at least a Phase I environmental assessment for that property and we are generally satisfied with the environmental status of the property.
 
In purchasing 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 competing properties in an area;
 
  •  changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds which 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 which may make the sale of properties more difficult;
 
  •  tenant turnover; and
 
  •  general overbuilding or excess supply in the market area.
 
We may acquire interests in properties where the other entities are participating in tax-free exchanges arranged by our manager. In connection with any reinvestment of sales proceeds in connection with a tax-free exchange, our manager or its affiliates may earn acquisition fees. Other methods of acquiring a property may be used when advantageous.
 
We generally acquire properties with cash and mortgage or other debt; however, we may also acquire properties free and clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price for such properties in cash. In the case of properties purchased on an all-cash basis, we may later incur mortgage indebtedness by obtaining loans secured by selected properties, if favorable financing terms are available. The proceeds from such loans, if any, would be used to acquire additional properties to potentially increase our cash flow.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we held interests in five consolidated properties with one property each in Texas, California, Colorado, North Carolina and Missouri. Our consolidated properties were 64.9% leased as of December 31, 2007.
 
To assist us in meeting our objectives, our manager or its affiliates may purchase properties in their own name, assume loans in connection with the acquisition of properties and temporarily hold title to such properties for the purpose of facilitating our acquisition of such property. They may also borrow money; obtain financing or complete construction of properties on our behalf. We may also acquire properties from the entities managed by our manager. Such acquisitions must be approved by our manager and supported by an independent appraisal prepared by an appraiser who is a member in good standing of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or similar national organization selected by our manager.
 
Disposition Strategies
 
We consider various factors when evaluating potential property dispositions. These factors include, without limitation, the following:
 
  •  our ability to sell the property at a price we believe would provide an attractive return to our unit holders;
 
  •  our ability to recycle capital into other properties consistent with our business strategy;
 
  •  our desire to exit non-performing markets;
 
  •  whether the property is strategically located;
 
  •  tenant composition and lease rollover for the property;

Table of Contents

 
  •  general economic conditions and outlook, including job growth in the local market; and
 
  •  the general quality of the asset.
 
Our manager has total discretion with respect to the disposition of our properties.
 
Operating Strategies
 
Our primary operating strategy is to acquire suitable properties that meet our acquisition standards and to enhance the performance and value of those properties through management strategies designed to address the needs of current and prospective tenants. Our management strategies include:
 
  •  aggressively leasing available space through targeted marketing, augmented where possible by the personnel in our manager’s local asset and property management offices;
 
  •  re-positioning our properties to include, for example, shifting from single to multi-tenant use in order to maximize desirability and utility for prospective tenants;
 
  •  controlling operating expenses by centralization of asset and property management, leasing, marketing, financing, accounting, renovation and data processing activities;
 
  •  emphasizing regular maintenance and periodic renovation to meet the needs of tenants and to maximize long-term returns; and
 
  •  financing acquisitions and refinancing properties when favorable terms are available to increase cash flow.
 
Financing Policies
 
As of December 31, 2007, we have financed our investments through a combination of equity as well as secured debt. A primary objective of our financing policy is to manage our financial position to allow us to raise capital at competitive rates. As of December 31, 2007, we had fixed or swapped 51.5% of our outstanding mortgage loans payable at our consolidated properties, which limits the risk of fluctuating interest rates.
 
As of December 31, 2007, our consolidated properties were all subject to existing mortgage loans payable with an aggregate principal balance of $71,682,000 consisting of $26,000,000, or 36.3%, of fixed rate mortgage loans payable at a weighted-average interest rate of 6.73% per annum and $45,682,000, or 63.7%, of variable rate mortgage loans payable at a weighted-average interest rate of 7.45% per annum.
 
In addition, at times we utilize certain derivative financial instruments to limit interest rate risk. The derivatives we enter into are those which are used for hedging purposes rather than speculation. If an anticipated hedged transaction does not occur, any positive or negative value of the derivative will be recognized immediately in net income.
 
Tax Status
 
We are a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and taxable income is reported by our unit holders on their individual tax returns. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations except for insignificant amounts related to state franchise and income taxes.
 
Distribution Policy
 
We have three classes of membership interests, or units, each having different rights with respect to distributions. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 4,000 Class A units, 3,170 Class B units, and 2,800 Class C units were issued and outstanding, respectively. The rights and obligations of all unit holders are governed by the Operating Agreement. The declaration of distributions is determined by our manager who will determine

the amount of distributions on a regular basis. The amount of distributions will depend on our actual cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements and such other factors our manager may deem relevant.
 
Competition
 
We compete with a considerable number of other real estate companies seeking to acquire and sell properties and lease space, some of which may have greater marketing and financial resources than we do. Principal factors of competition in our business are the quality of properties (including the design and condition of improvements), leasing terms (including rent and other charges and allowances for tenant improvements), attractiveness and convenience of location, the quality and breadth of tenant services provided and reputation as an owner and operator of properties in the relevant market. Our ability to compete also depends on, among other factors, trends in the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants, availability and cost of capital, including capital raised by incurring debt, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.
 
When we dispose of our properties, we are in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers, which may result in us receiving lower net proceeds from the sale.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we held interests in properties located in Texas, California, Colorado, North Carolina, and Missouri. Other entities managed by our manager also own property interests in some of the same regions in which we own property interests and such properties are managed by our manager or its affiliates. Our properties may face competition in these geographic regions from such other properties owned, operated or managed by our manager or its affiliates. Our manager or its affiliates have interests that may vary from our interests in such geographic markets.
 
Government Regulations
 
Many laws and government regulations are applicable to our properties and changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and the courts, occur frequently.
 
Costs of Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements for access and use by disabled persons. Although we believe that we are in substantial compliance with present requirements of the ADA, none of our properties have been audited, nor have investigations of our properties been conducted to determine compliance. We may incur additional costs in connection with the ADA. Additional federal, state and local laws also may require modifications to our properties or restrict our ability to renovate our properties. We cannot predict the cost of compliance with the ADA or other legislation. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA or any other legislation, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and pay distributions could be adversely affected.
 
Costs of Government Environmental Regulation and Private Litigation. Environmental laws and regulations hold us liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances which may be on our properties. These laws could impose liability without regard to whether we are responsible for the presence or release of the hazardous materials. Government investigations and remediation actions may have substantial costs and the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs. Various laws also impose liability on persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances at the disposal or treatment facility. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. As the owner and operator of our properties, we may be deemed to have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances.
 
Use of Hazardous Substances by Some of our Tenants. Some of our tenants may handle hazardous substances and wastes on our properties as part of their routine operations. Environmental laws and regulations subject these tenants, and potentially us, to liability resulting from such activities. We require tenants, in their leases, to comply with these environmental laws and regulations and to indemnify us for any related liabilities.

Table of Contents

We are unaware of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products in connection with any of our properties.
 
Other Federal, State and Local Regulations. Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these various requirements, we may incur governmental fines or private damage awards. While we believe that our properties are currently in material compliance with all of these regulatory requirements, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our unit holders. We believe, based in part on engineering reports which are generally obtained at the time we acquire the properties, that all of our properties comply in all material respects with current regulations. However, if we were required to make significant expenditures under applicable regulations, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions could be adversely affected.
 
Significant Tenants
 
As of December 31, 2007, two of our tenants at our consolidated properties accounted for 10.0% or more of our aggregate annual rental revenue, as follows:

*  Annualized rental revenue is based on contractual base rent from leases in effect as of December 31, 2007.
 
The loss of the above-mentioned tenants or their inability to pay rent could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we held interests in one consolidated property located in: (1) Texas which accounted for 8.0% of our total rental revenue; (2) California which accounted for 15.8% of our total rental revenue; (3) Colorado which accounted for 13.8% of our total rental revenue; (4) North Carolina which accounted for 24.9% of our total rental revenue; and (5) Missouri which accounted for 37.5% of our total rental revenue. These rental revenues are based on contractual base rent from leases in effect as of December 31, 2007. Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to fluctuations in each state’s economy.
 
Employees
 
We have one executive officer and no employees. Substantially all work performed for us is performed by executive officers and employees of our manager or its affiliates.
 
Financial Information about Industry Segments
 
We are in the business of owning, managing, operating, leasing, acquiring, developing, investing in and disposing of office buildings and value-add commercial office properties. We internally evaluate all of our properties as one industry segment and, accordingly, we do not report segment information.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.
 
Due to the risks involved in the ownership of real estate, there is no guarantee of any return on our unit holders’ investment and our unit holders may lose some or all of their investment.
 
By owning units, our unit holders are subjected to the significant risks associated with owning real estate. The performance of our unit holders’ investment in us is subject to risks related to the ownership and operation of real estate, including:
 
  •  changes in the general economic climate;
 
  •  changes in local conditions such as an oversupply of space or reduction in demand for real estate;
 
  •  changes in interest rates and the availability of financing; and
 
  •  changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing real estate usage, zoning and taxes.
 
If our assets decrease in value, the value of our unit holders’ investment will likewise decrease and they could lose some or all of their investment.
 
Our acquisition of value-added properties increases the risk of owning real estate and could adversely affect our results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our unit holders and our ability to dispose of properties in a timely manner.
 
Our acquisition strategy of purchasing value-added properties subjects us to even greater risks than those generally associated with investments in real estate. Value-added properties generally have some negative component, such as location in a poor economic market, significant vacancy, lower than average leasing rates or the need for capital improvements. If we are unable to take advantage of the value-added component following our acquisition of a property, we may be unable to generate adequate cash flows from that property. In addition, if we desire to sell that property, we may not be able to generate a profit or even recoup the original purchase price. As a result, our investment in value-added properties could reduce the amount of cash generated from our results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our unit holders and our ability to profitably dispose of our properties.
 
Distributions by us have and will in the future continue to include a return of capital.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, distributions paid by us included a return of capital, and any future distributions payable to our unit holders will include a return of capital as well as a return in excess of capital.
 
We could be treated as a publicly-traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
We could be deemed to be a publicly-traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes if our interests are either (i) traded on an established securities market, or (ii) readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof). If we are treated as a publicly-traded partnership, we may be taxed as a corporation unless we meet certain requirements as to the nature of our income. In such circumstances, our income (including gains from the sale of our assets, if any) would be subject to corporate-level tax, which could reduce distributions to you. While we do not believe that we will be taxed as a corporation, we have not requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not successfully challenge our status as a partnership.
 
We depend upon our tenants to pay rent, and their inability to pay rent may substantially reduce our revenues and cash available for distribution to our unit holders.
 
Our investments are subject to varying degrees of risk that generally arise from the ownership of real estate. The underlying value of our properties and the ability to make distributions to our unit holders depend upon the ability of the tenants at our properties to generate enough income in excess of their operating

Table of Contents

expenses to make their lease payments to us. Changes beyond our control may adversely affect our tenants’ ability to make their lease payments to us and, in such event, would substantially reduce both our income from operations and our ability to make distributions to our unit holders. These changes include, among others, the following:
 
  •  downturns in national, regional or local economic conditions where our properties are located, which generally will negatively impact the demand for office space and rental rates;
 
  •  changes in local market conditions such as an oversupply, including space available by sublease, or a reduction in demand, making it more difficult for us to lease space at attractive rental rates or at all;
 
  •  competition from other properties, which could cause us to lose current or prospective tenants or cause us to reduce rental rates;
 
  •  the ability to pay for adequate maintenance, insurance, utility, security and other operating costs, including real estate taxes and debt service payments, that are not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from a property; and
 
  •  changes in federal, state or local regulations and controls affecting rents, prices of goods, interest rates, fuel and energy consumption.
 
Due to these changes, among others, tenants and lease guarantors, if any, may be unable to make their lease payments. A default by a tenant or the failure of a tenant’s guarantor to fulfill its obligations, or other early termination of a lease could, depending upon the size of the leased premises and our manager’s ability to successfully find a substitute tenant, have a material adverse effect on our revenues and cash available for distribution to our unit holders. Moreover, as of December 31, 2007, rent paid by the ten largest tenants at our consolidated properties represented 59.8% of our annualized rental revenues. The revenues generated by the properties these tenants occupy is substantially dependent on the financial condition of these tenants and, accordingly, any event of bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in the business of any of these large tenants may result in the failure or delay of such tenants’ rental payments which may have an adverse impact on our financial performance and our ability to pay distributions to our unit holders.
 
The largest tenant at our Tiffany Square property has filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which allows them to cancel their lease with us at any time.
 
On January 25, 2008, we were notified that PRC, LLC, or PRC, the largest tenant at our Tiffany Square property located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, had filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or the Bankruptcy Code. PRC’s lease agreement terminates on May 31, 2013.
 
Under the Bankruptcy Code, companies filing for protection under Chapter 11 are generally entitled to cancel their lease at any time. As of December 31, 2007, PRC represents 69.2% of the Tiffany Square property’s rental revenue and 9.6% of our total rental revenue. Should PRC cancel its lease, not only would we no longer receive the rental revenue paid by PRC, but it may be an extended period of time before we are able to lease the space currently occupied by PRC. As a result, our income from operations and our ability to make distributions to our unit holders could be substantially reduced.
 
If we do not meet the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio required by the loan on our 901 Civic Center property, or obtain a waiver from the lender, the lender may declare us in default of the loan and accelerate our obligations under the loan or foreclose on the 901 Civic Center property, which could have a material adverse affect on our operating activities and cash flow.
 
The lender for our secured loan on our 901 Civic Center property has waived the imputed debt service coverage ratio, actual debt service coverage ratio and combined debt service coverage ratio, or collectively the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio, requirements for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007. The outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan was $10,927,000 as of December 31, 2007. We currently anticipate that we will not be in compliance with the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirements for the quarter ending March 31, 2008. If we are unable to obtain a


10


Table of Contents

waiver from the lender for our non-compliance or pay down the loan by the amount required to comply with the applicable Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the lender may declare us in default of the loan agreement. An event of default could result in a material adverse affect on our operating activities and cash flow by: (i) allowing the lender to declare the entire principal balance of the loan as of March 31, 2008 of $11,157,000 and all accrued interest immediately due and payable; (ii) allowing the lender to foreclose on the property; (iii) allowing the lender to seize the income generated by the property; (iv) reducing our current and long-term liquidity; (v) hindering our ability to negotiate future loan transactions on favorable terms; or (vi) affecting our ability to pay distributions or reducing the amount of distributions paid to our unit holders.
 
Our properties face significant competition.
 
We face significant competition from other property owners, operators and developers. All or substantially all of our properties face competition from similar properties in the same markets. Such competition may affect our ability to attract and retain tenants and may reduce the rents we are able to charge. These competing properties may have vacancy rates higher than our properties, which may cause their owners to rent space at lower rental rates than those charged by us or to provide greater tenant improvement allowances or other leasing concessions than we are willing to provide. This combination of circumstances could adversely affect our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, which could reduce distributions to our unit holders. As a result, we may be required to provide rent concessions, incur charges for tenant improvements and other inducements, or we may not be able to timely lease the space, all of which would adversely affect our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, which could reduce distributions to our unit holders. In the event that we elect to acquire additional properties, we will compete with other buyers who are also interested in acquiring such properties, which may result in an increase in the cost that we pay for such properties or may result in us ultimately not being able to acquire such properties. At the time we elect to dispose of our properties, we will be in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers, which may result in us receiving lower proceeds from the disposal or result in us not being able to dispose of the property due to the lack of an acceptable return.
 
Competition with entities that have greater financial resources may limit our real estate investment opportunities.
 
We compete for real estate investment opportunities with entities with substantially greater financial resources. These entities may be able to accept more risk than we can manage wisely. This competition may limit the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us. This competition also may increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell to us, making it more difficult for us to acquire properties. In addition, we believe that competition from entities organized for purposes similar to ours has increased and is likely to increase in the future.
 
We incur significant costs in connection with Exchange Act compliance and we may become subject to liability for any failure to comply.
 
As a result of our obligation to register our securities with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, we are subject to Exchange Act Rules and related reporting requirements. This compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act requires timely filing of Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K, among other actions. Further, recently enacted and proposed laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and disclosure requirements applicable to public companies, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and new SEC regulations have increased the costs of corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices which are now required of us. Our efforts to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, are expected to involve significant, and potentially increasing, costs. In addition, these laws, rules and regulations create the potential for new legal bases for administrative enforcement, civil and criminal proceedings against us in the event of non-compliance, thereby increasing our risks of liability and potential sanctions.

The pending SEC investigation of our manager could result in lawsuits or other actions against us which could negatively impact our ability to pay distributions to our unit holders.
 
On September 16, 2004, our manager advised us that it learned that the SEC Los Angeles Enforcement Division, or the SEC Staff, was conducting an investigation referred to as “In the matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.” The SEC Staff has requested information from our manager relating to disclosure in public and private securities offerings sponsored by our manager and its affiliates, or the Triple Net securities offerings (including our offering). The SEC Staff has requested financial and other information regarding the Triple Net securities offerings and the disclosures included in the related offering documents.
 
Our manager is engaged in settlement negotiations with the SEC Staff regarding this matter. Based on these negotiations, our manager believes that the conclusion to this matter will not result in a material adverse affect to its results of operations, financial condition or ability to manage our business. The settlement negotiations are continuing, and any settlement negotiated with the SEC Staff must be approved by the Commissioners. Since the matter is not concluded, it remains subject to the risk that the SEC may seek additional remedies, including substantial fines and injunctive relief against our manager that, if obtained, could harm our manager’s ability to perform its duties to us and/or delay the payment of distributions to our unit holders. The matters that are the subject of this investigation could also give rise to claims against our manager by investors in its existing real estate investment programs which could adversely affect our manager’s performance to us. At this time, we cannot assess how or when the outcome of this matter will be ultimately determined and its impact on us. Therefore, at this time, we have not accrued any loss contingencies in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
 
Erroneous disclosures in the prior performance tables in our private placement offering could result in lawsuits or other actions against us which could have a material adverse effect upon our business and results of operations.
 
In connection with our offering of the sale of our units from July 11, 2003 through October 14, 2004, we disclosed the prior performance of all public and private investment programs sponsored by our manager. Our manager subsequently determined that there were certain errors in those prior performance tables. In particular, the financial information in the tables was stated to be presented on a GAAP basis. Generally the tables for the public programs were not presented on a GAAP basis and the tables for the private programs were prepared and presented on a tax or cash accounting basis. Moreover, a number of the prior performance data figures were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash basis. In particular, certain programs sponsored by our manager have invested either along side or in other programs sponsored by our manager. The nature and results of these investments were not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables. In addition, for the private programs certain calculations of depreciation and amortization were not on an income tax basis for a limited liability company investment; certain operating expenses were not reflected in the operating results; and monthly mortgage principal payments were not reported. In general, the resulting effect on our manager’s program and aggregate portfolio operating results is: (i) an aggregate overstatement of $1,730,000 attributable to its private real estate programs; and (ii) an aggregate understatement of $1,405,000 attributable to its private notes programs, resulting in a total net overstatement of approximately $325,000 for cash generated after payment of cash distributions.
 
Lack of diversification and illiquidity of real estate may make it difficult for us to sell underperforming properties or recover our investment in one or more properties.
 
Our business is subject to risks associated with investment solely in real estate. Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions is limited. We cannot provide assurance that it will be able to dispose of a property when we want or need to. Consequently, the sales price for any property may not recoup or exceed the amount of our investment.

Lack of geographic diversity may expose us to regional economic downturns that could adversely impact our operations or our ability to recover our investment in one or more properties.
 
Our portfolio lacks geographic diversity due to its limited size and the fact that as of December 31, 2007, we owned properties in only five states: Texas, California, Colorado, North Carolina, and Missouri. This geographic concentration of properties exposes us to economic downturns in these regions. A recession in any of these states could adversely affect our ability to generate or increase operating revenues, attract new tenants or dispose of properties. In addition, our properties may face competition in these states from other properties owned, operated or managed by our manager or its affiliates. Our manager or its affiliates have interests that may vary from our interests in such states.
 
Our properties may face competition from other properties owned, operated or managed by our manager or its affiliates.
 
As of December 31, 2007, our manager or its affiliates, G REIT Liquidating Trust (successor of G REIT, Inc.), T REIT Liquidating Trust (successor of T REIT, Inc.), Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT, Inc., Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc. and NNN 2002 Value Fund, LLC, currently own, operate or manage properties that may compete with our properties in Texas, California, Colorado, North Carolina, and Missouri. These properties may compete with our properties, which may affect: (i) our ability to attract and retain tenants, (ii) the rents we are able to charge, and (iii) the value of our investments in our properties. Our manager’s or its affiliates’ interest in, operation of, or management of these other properties may create conflicts between our manager’s fiduciary obligations to us and its fiduciary obligations to, or pecuniary interest in, these competing properties. Our manager’s management of these properties may also limit the time and services that our manager devotes to us because it will be providing similar services to these other properties.
 
Our properties depend upon the Missouri economy and the demand for commercial property.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we had a 37.5% concentration of tenants in our Missouri property, based on our aggregate annual rental income. We are susceptible to adverse developments in Missouri (such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics, increased telecommuting, terrorist targeting of high-rise structures, infrastructure quality, Missouri state budgetary constraints and priorities, increases in real estate and other taxes, costs of complying with government regulations or increased regulation and other factors) and the national, Missouri commercial property market (such as oversupply of or reduced demand for commercial property). Any adverse economic or real estate developments in Missouri, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from Missouri’s regulatory environment, business climate or energy or fiscal problems, could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our unit holders. We cannot assure the continued growth of the Missouri economy or the national economy or our future growth rate.
 
Losses for which we either could not or did not obtain insurance will adversely affect our earnings and we may be unable to comply with insurance requirements contained in mortgage or other agreements due to high insurance costs.
 
We endeavor to maintain comprehensive insurance on each of the properties we own, including liability and fire and extended coverage, in amounts sufficient to permit the replacement of the properties in the event of a total loss, subject to applicable deductibles. We could suffer a loss due to the cost to repair any damage to properties that are not insured or are underinsured. There are types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses due to terrorism, wars, earthquakes, floods or acts of God that are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. If such a catastrophic event were to occur, or cause the destruction of one or more of our properties, we could lose both our invested capital and anticipated profits from such property or properties.

Our co-ownership arrangements with affiliated entities may not reflect solely our unit holders’ best interests and may subject these investments to increased risks.
 
We have acquired our interests in the Chase Tower, Enterprise Technology Center and Executive Center II & III properties through co-ownership arrangements with one or more affiliates of our manager and/or entities that are also managed by our manager. The terms of these co-ownership arrangements may be more favorable to the other co-owners than to our unit holders. In addition, key decisions, such as sales, refinancing and new or amended leases, must be approved by the unanimous consent of the co-owners.
 
Our co-ownership arrangements contain risks not present in wholly-owned properties.
 
Investing in properties through co-ownership arrangements, including investments held as tenant in common, or TIC, or interests in limited liability companies, subjects those investment to risks not present in a wholly-owned property, including, without limitation, the following:
 
  •  the risk that the co-owner(s) in the investment might become bankrupt;
 
  •  the risk that the co-owner(s) may at any time have economic or business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals;
 
  •  the risk that the co-owner(s) may be unable to make required payments on loans under which we are jointly and severally liable;
 
  •  the risk that all the co-owners may not approve refinancings, leases and lease amendments requiring unanimous consent of co-owners that would have adverse consequences for our unit holders,
 
  •  the risk that the co-owner(s) may breach the terms of a loan secured by a co-owned property, thereby triggering an event of default that affords the lender the right to exercise all of its remedies under the loan documents, including possible foreclosure of the entire property; or
 
  •  the risk that the co-owner(s) may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives, such as selling a property at a time when it would have adverse consequences to us.
 
Actions by co-owner(s) might have the result of subjecting the applicable property to liabilities in excess of those otherwise contemplated and may have the effect of reducing our cash available for distribution to our unit holders. The co-ownership arrangements generally limit our ability to manage properties in our sole judgment and best interests including, without limitation, decisions regarding capital improvements, renewing or entering new tenant leases, refinancing a property or selling a property. It also may be difficult for us to sell our interest in any co-ownership arrangement at the time we deem it best for our unit holders.
 
There is currently no public market for our units. Therefore, it will likely be difficult for our unit holders to sell their units and, if our unit holders are able to sell their units, they may elect to do so at a substantial discount from the price our unit holders paid.
 
There currently is no public market for our units. Additionally, the Operating Agreement contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our unit holders’ units, and these restrictions may inhibit our unit holders’ ability to sell their units. It may be difficult for our unit holders to sell their units promptly or at all. If our unit holders are able to sell their units, our unit holders may only be able to do so at a substantial discount from the price our unit holders paid.
 
Our success is dependent on the performance of our manager, its executive officers and employees.
 
We are managed by our manager and our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions is dependent upon the performance of our manager, its executive officers and its employees in the selection of tenants, the determination of any financing arrangements, the management of our assets and operation of our day-to-day activities. We rely on the management ability of our manager as well as the management of any entities or ventures in which we co-invest. If our manager suffers or is distracted by


14


Table of Contents

adverse financial or operational problems in connection with its operations unrelated to us, our manager’s ability to allocate time and/or resources to our operations may be adversely affected. If our manager is unable to allocate sufficient resources to oversee and perform our operations for any reason, our results of operations would be adversely impacted.
 
Our use of borrowings to partially fund acquisitions and improvements on properties could result in foreclosures and unexpected debt service expenses upon refinancing, both of which could have an adverse impact on our operations and cash flow, and restrictive covenants in our loan documents may restrict our operating or acquisition activities.
 
We rely on borrowings and other external sources of financing to partially fund the costs of new investments, capital expenditures and other items. As of December 31, 2007, we had $71,682,000 of mortgage loans payable outstanding related to our portfolio of properties. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including, without limitation, the risk that our cash flow may not be sufficient to cover required debt service payments. There is also a risk that, if necessary, existing indebtedness will not be able to be refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of the existing indebtedness.
 
In addition, if we cannot meet our required mortgage payment obligations, the property or properties subject to such mortgage indebtedness could be foreclosed upon by, or otherwise transferred to, our lender, with a consequent loss of income and asset value to us. 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 we may not receive any cash proceeds.
 
The mortgages on our properties contain customary restrictive covenants such as satisfaction of certain total debt-to-asset ratios, secured debt-to-total-asset ratios, and debt service coverage ratios. The mortgages also include provisions that may limit the borrowing subsidiary’s ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to incur additional indebtedness, further mortgage or transfer the applicable property, discontinue insurance coverage, change the conduct of its business or make loans or advances to, enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation with, or acquire the business, assets or equity of, any third party. In addition, any future lines of credit or loans may contain financial covenants, further restrictive covenants and other obligations.
 
If we materially breach such covenants or obligations in our debt agreements, the lender may, including, without limitation, seize our income from the property securing the loan or legally declare a default on the obligation, require us to repay the debt immediately and foreclose on the property securing the loan. If we were to breach such covenants or obligations, we may then have to sell properties either at a loss or at a time that prevents us from achieving a higher price. Any failure to pay our indebtedness when due or failure to cure events of default could result in higher interest rates during the period of the loan default and could ultimately result in the loss of properties through foreclosure. Additionally, if the lender were to seize our income from property securing the loan, we would no longer have any discretion over the use of the income, which may prevent us from making distributions to our unit holders.
 
The pending SEC investigation of our manager could result in defaults or alleged defaults under our loan documents or limit our ability to obtain debt financing in the future.
 
We rely on debt financing for our acquisition of new investments and for meeting capital expenditure obligations, among other things. The SEC investigation of our manager, as described above, or any other related enforcement action by government authorities against our manager or us, could result in defaults or alleged defaults under our existing loan agreements or could make it more difficult for us to obtain new debt financing or prevent us from satisfying customary debt covenants or conditions required by existing loan documents, including conditions for additional advances.

If we acquire assets at a time when the commercial real estate market is experiencing substantial influxes of capital investment and competition for properties, the real estate we purchase may not appreciate or may decrease in value.
 
The commercial real estate market is currently experiencing a substantial influx of capital from investors. This substantial flow of capital, combined with significant competition for real estate, may result in inflated purchase prices for such assets. To the extent we acquire real estate in such an environment, we are subject to the risk that if the real estate market ceases to attract the same level of capital investment in the future as it is currently attracting, or if the number of companies seeking to acquire such assets decreases, our returns will be lower and the value of our assets may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for such assets.
 
Since our cash flow is not assured, we may not pay distributions in the future.
 
Our ability to pay distributions may be adversely affected by the risks described herein. We cannot assure our unit holders that we will be able to pay distributions in the future at the same level or at all. We also cannot assure our unit holders that the level of our distributions will increase over time or the receipt of income from additional property acquisitions will necessarily increase our cash available for distribution to our unit holders.
 
Our manager’s past performance is not a predictor of our future results.
 
Neither the track record of our manager in managing us, nor its performance with entities similar to ours, shall imply or predict (directly or indirectly) any level of our future performance or the future performance of our manager. Our manager’s performance and our performance is dependent on future events and is, therefore, inherently uncertain. Past performance cannot be relied upon to predict future events for a variety of factors, including, without limitation, varying business strategies, different local and national economic circumstances, different supply and demand characteristics relevant to buyers and sellers of assets, varying degrees of competition and varying circumstances pertaining to the capital markets.
 
We do not expect to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, therefore, our unit holders will not be entitled to its benefits and protections; and our operating in a manner to avoid registration may reduce cash available for distributions to unit holders.
 
We believe that we will not operate in a manner that requires us to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the Act. Investment companies subject to this Act are required to comply with a variety of substantive requirements such as requirements relating to:
 
  •  limitations on the capital structure of the entity;
 
  •  restrictions on certain investments;
 
  •  prohibitions on transactions with affiliated entities; and
 
  •  public reporting disclosures, record keeping, voting procedures, proxy disclosure and similar corporate governance rules and regulations.
 
Many of these requirements are intended to provide benefits or protections to security holders of investment companies. Because we do not expect to be subject to these requirements, our unit holders will not be entitled to these benefits or protections.
 
In order to maintain our exemption from regulation under the Act, we must engage primarily in the business of buying real estate. In addition, in order to operate in a manner to avoid being required to register as an investment company we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell, and we may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. This may reduce the cash available for distribution to unit holders and possibly lower our unit holders’ returns.

Table of Contents

If we are required to register as an investment company under the Act, the additional expenses and operational limitations associated with such registration may reduce our unit holders’ investment return.
 
We do not expect that we will operate in a manner that requires us to register as an investment company under the Act. However, the analysis relating to whether a company qualifies as an investment company can involve technical and complex rules and regulations. If we own assets that qualify as investment securities, as such term is defined under this Act, and the value of such assets exceeds 40.0% of the value of our total assets, we may be deemed to be an investment company. It is possible that many, if not all, of our interests in real estate may be held through other entities and some or all of these interests in other entities may be deemed to be investment securities.
 
If we held investment securities and the value of these securities exceeded 40.0% of the value of our total assets we may be required to register as an investment company. Investment companies are subject to a variety of substantial requirements that could significantly impact our operations. The costs and expenses we would incur to register and operate as an investment company, as well as the limitations placed on our operations, could have a material adverse impact on our operations and our unit holders’ investment return.
 
If we were required to register as an investment company but failed to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business, criminal and civil actions could be brought against us, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court were to require enforcement and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business.
 
Dramatic increases in insurance rates could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make cash distributions to our unit holders.
 
Due to recent natural disasters resulting in massive property destruction, prices for insurance coverage have been increasing dramatically. We cannot assure that we will be able to renew our insurance premiums at our current or reasonable rates or the amount of the potential increase of such premiums. As a result, our cash flow could be adversely impacted by increased premiums. In addition, the sales prices of our properties may be affected by these rising costs and adversely affect our ability to make cash distributions to our unit holders.
 
The conflicts of interest of our manager and its executive officers with us may mean that we will not be managed by our manager solely in the best interests of our unit holders.
 
Our Manager’s executives have conflicts of interest relating to the management of our business and property. Accordingly, those parties may make decisions or take actions based on factors other than in the best interest of our unit holders.
 
Our Manager also advises G REIT Liquidating Trust and T REIT Liquidating Trust, is the managing member of the advisors of both Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT, Inc. and Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc., and manages NNN 2002 Value Fund, LLC as well as other private TIC programs and other programs, all of which may compete with us or otherwise have similar business interests and/or investment objectives. Some of the executive officers of our Manager also serve as officers and directors of Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT, Inc. and Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc. Our Manager is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Grubb & Ellis and executive officers of our Manager collectively own approximately 4.1% of the common stock of Grubb & Ellis. As officers, directors, and partial owners of entities that do business with us or that have interests in competition with our own interests, these individuals will experience conflicts between their obligations to us and their obligations to, and pecuniary interests in, our Manager, Grubb & Ellis and its affiliated entities. These conflicts of interest could:
 
  •  limit the time and services that our manager and its executive officers devote to us, because they will be providing similar services to G REIT Liquidating Trust, T REIT Liquidating Trust, NNN 2002 Value Fund, LLC, Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT, Inc., Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc. and other real estate programs and properties;
 
  •  impair our ability to compete for tenants in geographic areas where other properties are advised by our manager and its affiliates; and


17


Table of Contents

 
  •  impair our ability to compete for the acquisition or disposition of properties with other real estate entities that are also advised by our manager and its affiliates and seeking to acquire or dispose of properties at or about the same time as us.
 
If our manager breaches its fiduciary obligations to us, we may not meet our investment objectives, which could reduce the expected cash available for distribution to our unit holders.
 
The absence of arm’s length bargaining may mean that our agreements are not as favorable to unit holders as these agreements otherwise would have been.
 
Any existing or future agreements between us and our manager, Realty or their affiliates were not and will not be reached through arm’s length negotiations. Thus, such agreements may not solely reflect our unit holders’ interests as a unit holder. For example, the Operating Agreement and the Management Agreement were not the result of arm’s length negotiations. As a result, these agreements may be relatively more favorable to the other counterparty than to us.

Real Estate Investments
 
As of December 31, 2007, we owned five consolidated office properties located in Texas, California, Colorado, North Carolina, and Missouri with an aggregate GLA of 837,000 square feet. We also owned interests in three unconsolidated office properties located in Texas and California with an aggregate GLA of 1,140,000 square feet.
 
The majority of the rental income from our properties consists of rent received under leases that provide for the payment of fixed minimum rent paid monthly in advance, and for the payment by tenants of a pro rata share of the real estate taxes, special assessments, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance, management fees and certain building repairs. Under the majority of our leases, we are not currently obligated to pay the tenant’s proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance and property operating expenses up to the amount incurred during the tenant’s first year of occupancy, or Base Year, or a negotiated amount approximating the tenant’s pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and property operating expenses, or Expense Stop. The tenant pays their pro rata share of an increase in expenses above the Base Year or Expense Stop.

Indebtedness
 
As of December 31, 2007, we had secured mortgage loans payable outstanding on all of our consolidated properties, representing an aggregate principal amount of $71,682,000 consisting of $26,000,000, or 36.3%, of fixed rate mortgage loans payable at a weighted-average interest rate of 6.73% per annum and $45,682,000, or 63.7%, variable rate mortgage loans payable at a weighted-average interest rate of 7.45% per annum. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 8, Mortgage Loans Payable and Other Debt and Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussion.
 
Item 3.   Legal Proceedings.
 
SEC Investigation
 
On September 16, 2004, our manager advised us that it learned that the SEC Los Angeles Enforcement Division, or the SEC Staff, was conducting an investigation referred to as “In the matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.” The SEC Staff has requested information from our manager relating to disclosure in public and private securities offerings sponsored by our manager and its affiliates, or the Triple Net securities


22


Table of Contents

offerings (including our offering). The SEC Staff has requested financial and other information regarding the Triple Net securities offerings and the disclosures included in the related offering documents.
 
Our manager is engaged in settlement negotiations with the SEC Staff regarding this matter. Based on these negotiations, our manager believes that the conclusion to this matter will not result in a material adverse affect to its results of operations, financial condition or ability to manage our business. The settlement negotiations are continuing, and any settlement negotiated with the SEC Staff must be approved by the Commissioners. Since the matter is not concluded, it remains subject to the risk that the SEC may seek additional remedies, including substantial fines and injunctive relief against our manager that, if obtained, could harm our manager’s ability to perform its duties to us and/or delay the payment of distributions to our unit holders. The matters that are the subject of this investigation could also give rise to claims against our manager by investors in its existing real estate investment programs which could adversely affect our manager’s performance to us. At this time, we cannot assess how or when the outcome of this matter will be ultimately determined and its impact on us. Therefore, at this time, we have not accrued any loss contingencies in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
 
Prior Performance Tables
 
In connection with our offering of the sale of our units from July 11, 2003 through October 14, 2004, we disclosed the prior performance of all public and non-public investment programs sponsored by our manager. Our manager subsequently determined that there were certain errors in those prior performance tables. In particular, the financial information in the tables was stated to be presented in accordance with GAAP. Generally, the tables for the public programs were not presented on a GAAP basis and the tables for the non-public programs were prepared and presented on a tax or cash accounting basis. Moreover, a number of the prior performance data figures were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash basis. In particular, certain programs sponsored by our manager have invested either along side or in other programs sponsored by our manager. The nature and results of these investments were not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables. In addition, certain calculations of depreciation and amortization were not on an income tax basis for a limited liability company investment; certain operating expenses were not reflected in the operating results; and monthly mortgage and principal payments were not reported. In general, the resulting effect on our manager’s program and aggregate portfolio operating results is: (i) an aggregate overstatement of $1,730,000 attributable to its private real estate programs; and (ii) an aggregate understatement of $1,405,000 attributable to its private notes programs, resulting in a total net overstatement of approximately $325,000 for cash generated after payment of cash distributions.
 
Litigation
 
Neither we or our properties are presently subject to any material litigation or, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us or our properties which if determined unfavorably to us would have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Unit Holders.

Market Information
 
There is no established public trading market for our units.
 
As of December 31, 2007, there were no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into units. In addition, there were no units that could be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that we have agreed to register under the Securities Act for sale by unit holders, and there were no units that are being, or have been publicly proposed to be, publicly offered by us.
 
Unit Holders
 
As of March 31, 2008, there were 838 unit holders of record with 325, 249 and 277 holders of Class A, Class B and Class C units, respectively. Certain of our unit holders own units in more than one class of units.
 
Distributions
 
The Operating Agreement provides that Class A unit holders receive a 10.0% priority return, Class B unit holders receive a 9.0% priority return and Class C unit holders receive an 8.0% priority return.
 
The distributions declared per Class A unit in each quarter since January 1, 2005 are as follows:
 
                         
Quarters Ended
  2007     2006     2005

September 30
  $ 88     $ 88     $ 88  
December 31
  $ 88     $ 88     $ 88  
 
In the event we cannot make the distributions from operations, we may use one of the following sources of funds to pay distributions: short-term debt; long-term debt; and proceeds from the sale of one or more of our properties.
 
Holders of Class A units, Class B units and Class C units have received identical per-unit distributions; however, distributions will vary among the three classes in the future. To the extent that prior distributions have been inconsistent with the distribution priorities specified in the Operating Agreement, we intend to adjust future distributions in order to provide overall net distributions consistent with the priority provisions of the Operating Agreement.

Table of Contents

Distributions payable to our unit holders may include a return of capital as well as a return in excess of capital. Distributions exceeding taxable income will constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes to the extent of a unit holder’s basis. Distributions in excess of tax basis will generally constitute capital gain.
 
The declaration of distributions is determined by our manager who determines the amount of distributions on a regular basis. The amount of distributions depends on our actual cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements and such other factors our manager may deem relevant.
 
Equity Compensation Plan Information
 
We have no equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2007.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The use of the words “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to NNN 2003 Value Fund, LLC and its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such consolidated financial statements and information have been prepared to reflect our financial position as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, together with our results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
Historical results and trends should not be taken as indicative of future operations. Our statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Actual results may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. We intend those forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of us, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “prospects,” or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically; sales prices, lease renewals and new leases; legislative/regulatory changes; availability of capital; changes in interest rates; our ability to service our debt, competition in the real estate industry; the supply and demand for operating properties in our current and proposed market areas; changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, policies and guidelines applicable to us; our ongoing relationship with our manager (as defined below); and litigation, including, without limitation, the investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, of our manager. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning us and our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
 
Overview and Background
 
We are a Delaware limited liability company which was formed on June 19, 2003. We were organized to acquire, own, operate and subsequently sell all or a portion of a number of unspecified properties believed to have higher than average potential for capital appreciation, or value-added properties. As of December 31, 2007, we held interests in eight properties, including five consolidated interests in office properties, or our consolidated properties, aggregating a total gross leaseable area, or GLA, of 837,000 square feet, and three unconsolidated interests in office properties, or our unconsolidated properties, aggregating a total GLA of 1,140,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2007, 64.9% of the total GLA of our consolidated properties was leased. Our principal objectives are to: (i) have the potential within approximately one to five years, subject to market conditions, to realize income on the sale of our properties; (ii) realize income through the acquisition, operation, development and sale of our properties or our interests in our properties; and (iii) make monthly distributions to our unit holders from cash generated from operations and capital transactions.
 
Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, LLC, or Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors (formerly known as Triple Net Properties, LLC), or our manager, manages us pursuant to the terms of an operating agreement, or the Operating Agreement. While we have no employees, certain executive officers and employees of our manager provide services to us pursuant to the Operating Agreement. Our manager engages affiliated entities, including Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., or Realty, to provide certain services to us. Realty serves as our property manager pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement and a property management agreement, or the

Management Agreement. The Operating Agreement terminates upon our dissolution. The unit holders may not vote to terminate our manager prior to the termination of the Operating Agreement or our dissolution except for cause. The Management Agreement terminates with respect to each of our properties upon the earlier of the sale of each respective property or December 31, 2013. Realty may be terminated without cause prior to the termination of the Management Agreement or our dissolution, subject to certain conditions, including the payment by us to Realty of a termination fee as provided in the Management Agreement.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2006, NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., or NNN Realty Advisors, acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests of Triple Net Properties, LLC, NNN Capital Corp. and Realty. As a result, our manager is managed by executive officers appointed by the board of directors of NNN Realty Advisors and is no longer managed by a board of managers.
 
On December 7, 2007, NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Grubb & Ellis Company, or Grubb & Ellis. The combined company retained the Grubb & Ellis name and continues to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GBE.” In connection with the merger, Triple Net Properties, LLC, and NNN Capital Corp. changed their name to Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, LLC and Grubb & Ellis Securities, Inc., respectively.
 
Business Strategy
 
Our primary business strategy is to acquire properties with greater than average appreciation potential, and realize gains upon disposition of our properties. In order to increase the value of our properties, we actively manage our property portfolio to seek to achieve gains in rental rates and occupancy, control operating expenses and maximize income from ancillary operations and services. In the case of land acquisitions we expect to increase the value of the land by preparing the land for development. We intend to own and operate our properties for approximately one to five years and, after that time, depending upon market conditions and other factors, the property will be offered for sale. We believe that our recent acquisitions and dispositions of real estate investments will have a significant impact on our future results of operations. In the event of dispositions, if we do not redeploy the funds into additional acquisitions, our future results of operations could be negatively impacted due to the dilutive impact of the non-invested funds. Additionally, we may invest excess cash in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities or equity securities. Such investments may include, for example, investments in marketable securities, certificates of deposit and interest-bearing bank deposits.
 
Acquisitions and Dispositions
 
Pursuant to our Operating Agreement and Management Agreement, our manager or its affiliate is entitled to a property acquisition fee or property disposition fee in connection with our acquisition or disposition, as applicable, of properties. Certain acquisition and disposition fees paid to Realty were passed through to our manager pursuant to an agreement between our manager and Realty, or the Realty Agreement.

Potential Property Acquisitions
 
We are currently considering several other potential property acquisitions. The decision to acquire one or more of these properties will generally depend upon the following conditions, among others:
 
  •  receipt of a satisfactory environmental survey and property appraisal for each property;
 
  •  no material adverse change occurring in the properties, the tenants or in the local economic conditions; and
 
  •  receipt of sufficient financing.
 
There can be no assurance that any or all of the conditions will be satisfied.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe that our critical accounting policies are those that require significant judgments and estimates such as those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of real estate and intangible assets, purchase price allocation, deferred assets and properties held for sale. These estimates are made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates, perhaps in material adverse ways, and those estimates could differ under different assumptions or conditions.


32


Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective lease agreements (including rent holidays) in accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, as amended and interpreted. Differences between rental income recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are credited or charged, as applicable, to rent receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under lease agreements. We also maintain an allowance for deferred rent receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. We determine the adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual tenant receivables considering the tenant’s financial condition, security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees, if applicable, and current economic conditions.
 
Impairment
 
Our properties are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation or fair value less costs to sell. We assess the impairment of a real estate asset when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Indicators we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
 
  •  a significant negative industry or economic trend;
 
  •  a significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; and
 
  •  a significant change in the manner in which the asset is used.
 
In the event that the carrying amount of a property exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) that are expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the property, we would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeded the estimated fair value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on subjective assumptions dependent upon future and current market conditions and events that affect the ultimate value of the property. It requires us to make assumptions related to future rental rates, tenant allowances, operating expenditures, property taxes, capital improvements, occupancy levels, and the estimated proceeds generated from the future sale of the property.
 
There were no impairment losses incurred during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
Purchase Price Allocation
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, we received assistance from independent valuation specialists, allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identified intangible assets based on their respective fair values. The allocation to tangible assets (building and land) is based upon our determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by us include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. Additionally, the purchase price of the applicable property is allocated to the above or below market value of in-place leases and the value of in-place leases and related tenant relationships.
 
The value allocable to the above or below market component of the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term and (ii) our estimate of the amounts that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above market leases are included in the intangible assets and below market lease values are included in intangible liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are amortized to rental income over the weighted-average remaining term of the acquired leases with each property.
 
The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease costs and the value of tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and


33


Table of Contents

our overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by us in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.
 
These allocations are subject to change based on information received within one year of the purchase related to one or more events identified at the time of purchase which confirm the value of an asset or liability received in an acquisition of property.
 
Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations
 
Rental Income
 
The amount of rental income generated by our properties depends principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space available from unscheduled lease terminations at the existing rental rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental income in future periods.
 
Scheduled Lease Expirations
 
As of December 31, 2007, our consolidated properties were 64.9% leased to 90 tenants. 17.1% of the GLA expires during 2008. Our leasing strategy for 2008 focuses on negotiating renewals for leases scheduled to expire during the year. If we are unable to negotiate such renewals, we will try to identify new tenants or collaborate with existing tenants who are seeking additional space to occupy. Of the leases expiring in 2008, we anticipate, but cannot assure, that all of the tenants will renew for another term. At the time the leases expire and the tenants do not renew the lease, we write-off all tenant relationship intangible assets associated with such tenants.
 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and related laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and disclosure requirements applicable to public companies, have increased the costs of compliance with corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices which are now required of us. These costs were unanticipated at the time of our formation and may have a material impact on our results of operations and could impact our ability to continue to pay distributions at current rates to our unit holders. Furthermore, we expect that these costs will increase in the future due to our continuing implementation of compliance programs mandated by these requirements. Any increased costs may affect our ability to distribute funds to our unit holders.
 
In addition, these laws, rules and regulations create new legal bases for potential administrative enforcement, civil and criminal proceedings against us in case of non-compliance, thereby increasing the risks of liability and potential sanctions against us. We expect that our efforts to comply with these laws and regulations will continue to involve significant, and potentially increasing costs and, our failure to comply, could result in fees, fines, penalties or administrative remedies against us.
 
Results of Operations
 
The operating results are primarily comprised of income derived from our portfolio of properties, as described below. Because our primary business strategy is acquiring properties with greater than average appreciation potential, enhancing value and realizing gains upon disposition of these properties, our operations reflect significant property acquisitions and dispositions from period to period. As a result, the comparability of the financial data is limited and may vary significantly from period to period. In addition, we have made reclassifications of the results of operations for the Woodside property for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 to Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations to conform with the current year financial statement presentation.

December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the increased auditing fees of $143,000 and $130,000 in professional fees for the valuation of our properties. Also contributing to the increase was bad debt expense of $236,000 from 901 Civic Center, due to write-off of accounts receivables.
 
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2,787,000, or 282.4%, to $3,774,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $987,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. Contributing to the increase was $841,000 primarily attributable to a full year ownership of Tiffany Square and 901 Civic Center in 2007 and $1,947,000 attributable to the acquisitions of Four Resource Square and The Sevens Building during 2007.

Gain on Sale of Marketable Securities
 
Gain on sale of marketable securities decreased $122,000, or 91.0%, to $12,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $134,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. This decrease was due to the sale of underperforming investments in marketable securities in our Merrill Lynch account in 2007.
 
Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Real Estate
 
Equity in losses of unconsolidated real estate increased by $282,000, or 24.8%, to losses of $1,421,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $1,139,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $585,000 as a result of incurred losses from the Chase Tower and Enterprise Technology Center properties during 2007. These increases in losses were partially offset by the increase of equity in earnings of $338,000 from the operations of Executive Center II & III during 2007, compared to 2006.
 
Minority Interests
 
Minority interest income increased by $132,000, or 694.7%, to $151,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to minority interest income of $19,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase for the year ended December 31, 3007 was primarily attributable to a decrease of minority interest expense of $65,000 from a consolidated limited liability company, NNN Oakey Building 2003, LLC, of which we owned 75.6%. The underlying property was sold in the first quarter of 2006 and the limited liability company was dissolved in the first quarter of 2007. Also contributing to the increase was $43,000 in minority interest income recorded from NNN Enterprise Technology Center, LLC, of which we own 73.3%. The underlying property incurred operating losses as a result of the write-off of intangible assets.
 
Loss from Discontinued Operations
 
Loss from discontinued operations was $1,465,000 and $3,545,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in the loss of $2,080,000 was primarily due to the disposition of the Interwood and Woodside properties in March 2007 and December 2007, respectively. These dispositions resulted in lower losses of $1,132,000 in 2007, compared to 2006. In addition, income increased due to the reduction of minority interest expense of $1,442,000 which was recorded in 2006 in connection with the sale of the Oakey Building, partially offset by lower income due to the sale of the 3500 Maple Building in 2006.

Equity in Earnings (Losses) and Gain on Sale of Unconsolidated Real Estate
 
Equity in earnings (losses) and gain on sale of unconsolidated real estate decreased by $3,649,000, or 145.4%, to losses of $1,139,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to the equity in earnings and gain on sale of unconsolidated real estate of $2,510,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the gain on sale of 801 K Street of $2,079,000 and Emerald Plaza of $988,000, both recorded during the year ended December 31, 2005. There was no comparable gain during the year ended December 31, 2006. In addition, equity in losses increased $616,000 in 2006, compared to 2005. The increases were due to the decrease in equity in earnings from NNN 801 K Street, LLC and NNN Emerald Plaza, LLC of $332,000, as a result of the underlying real estate being sold in 2005. Contributing to the increase was $392,000 of equity in losses, as a result of losses from operations of the acquired Chase Tower property during 2006.

The increase was primarily due to a decrease of minority interest expense at NNN 801K Street, LLC during the year ended December 31, 2006, as a result of the sale of the underlying real estate asset for a gain of approximately $2,079,000 in 2005, the minority interests has shared in this gain. There was no comparable gain during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Loss from discontinued operations was $3,545,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $253,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in the loss from discontinued operations of $3,798,000 was primarily due to an increase of $1,814,000 and $808,000 in loss at the Woodside property and Oakey Building, respectively. Also contributing to the increase in loss was $1,442,000 minority interest expense recorded in connection with the sale of the Oakey Building. These increases were partially offset by a $699,000 increase in income at the 3500 Maple Building in 2006, compared to 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Current Sources of Capital and Liquidity
 
We seek to create and maintain a capital structure that allows for financial flexibility and diversification of capital resources. Our primary sources of liquidity to fund distributions, debt service, leasing costs and capital expenditures are gains from the sale of assets and net cash from operations. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, our total debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 69.9% and 51.7%, respectively.
 
Factors Which May Influence Future Sources of Capital and Liquidity
 
SEC Investigation
 
On September 16, 2004, our manager advised us that it learned that the SEC Los Angeles Enforcement Division, or the SEC Staff, was conducting an investigation referred to as “In the matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.” The SEC Staff has requested information from our manager relating to disclosure in public and private securities offerings sponsored by our manager and its affiliates, or the Triple Net securities offerings (including our offering). The SEC Staff has requested financial and other information regarding the Triple Net securities offerings and the disclosures included in the related offering documents.
 
Our manager is engaged in settlement negotiations with the SEC Staff regarding this matter. Based on these negotiations, our manager believes that the conclusion to this matter will not result in a material adverse affect to its results of operations, financial condition or ability to manage our business. The settlement negotiations are continuing, and any settlement negotiated with the SEC Staff must be approved by the Commissioners. Since the matter is not concluded, it remains subject to the risk that the SEC may seek additional remedies, including substantial fines and injunctive relief against our manager that, if obtained, could harm our manager’s ability to perform its duties to us and/or delay the payment of distributions to our unit holders. The matters that are the subject of this investigation could also give rise to claims against our manager by investors in its existing real estate investment programs which could adversely affect our manager’s performance to us. At this time, we cannot assess how or when the outcome of this matter will be ultimately determined and its impact on us. Therefore, at this time, we have not accrued any loss contingencies in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.

Table of Contents

Prior Performance Tables
 
In connection with our offering of the sale of our units from July 11, 2003 through October 14, 2004, we disclosed the prior performance of all public and non-public investment programs sponsored by our manager. Our manager subsequently determined that there were certain errors in those prior performance tables. In particular, the financial information in the tables was stated to be presented in accordance with GAAP. Generally, the tables for the public programs were not presented on a GAAP basis and the tables for the non-public programs were prepared and presented on a tax or cash accounting basis. Moreover, a number of the prior performance data figures were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash basis. In particular, certain programs sponsored by our manager have invested either along side or in other programs sponsored by our manager. The nature and results of these investments were not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables. In addition, certain calculations of depreciation and amortization were not on an income tax basis for a limited liability company investment; certain operating expenses were not reflected in the operating results; and monthly mortgage and principal payments were not reported. In general, the resulting effect on our manager’s program and aggregate portfolio operating results is: (i) an aggregate overstatement of $1,730,000 attributable to its private real estate programs; and (ii) an aggregate understatement of $1,405,000 attributable to its private notes programs, resulting in a total net overstatement of approximately $325,000 for cash generated after payment of cash distributions.
 
Debt Financing
 
Mortgage loans payable, including mortgage loans payable secured by properties held for sale, was $71,682,000 and $37,186,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Mortgage loans payable as a percentage of total capitalization increased to 69.9% as of December 31, 2007 from 51.7% as of December 31, 2006. The increase of $34,496,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to December 31, 2006, was primarily due to the purchase of the Four Resource Square and The Sevens Building during 2007 and the related financing along with the refinance of Tiffany Square during 2007. This increase was partially offset by the pay-off of the mortgage loan payable of $5,500,000 and $16,754,000 in connection with the sale of the Interwood and Woodside properties, respectively, during 2007.
 
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, $45,682,000, or 63.7%, and $32,186,000, or 86.6%, respectively, of our total debt required interest payments based on variable rates and the remaining debt was at fixed rates.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we had $71,682,000 under various fixed and variable rate mortgage loans payable, secured by five consolidated properties. The fixed interest rate mortgage loans payable require monthly principal and interest payments based on a fixed rate ranging from 5.95% to 10.00% per annum. Variable interest rate mortgage loans payable include interest only loans, with interest rates ranging from 6.90% to 8.22% per annum as of December 31, 2007. Loans mature at various dates through October 2010.
 
The composition of our aggregate mortgage loans payable balances as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Although the interest payments on 51.5% of our mortgage loans payable are either fixed or swapped, the remaining 48.5% of our mortgage loans payable is exposed to fluctuations of the 30-day LIBOR rate. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to replace our interest-rate swap and cap agreements as they expire and, therefore, our results of operations could be exposed to rising interest rates in the future.

We may acquire additional properties and may fund these acquisitions through utilization of the current cash balances and/or net proceeds received from a combination of debt financings or asset dispositions. There may be a delay between a receipt of funds and the purchase of properties, which may result in a delay in the benefits to our unit holders of returns generated from property operations. During such a period, we may temporarily invest any unused net proceeds from any such offering in investments that could yield lower returns than investments in real estate. Additionally, we may invest excess cash in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities. Such investments may include, for example, investments in marketable securities, certificates of deposit and interest-bearing bank deposits.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we have restricted cash balances of $3,985,000 that are held as credit enhancements and as reserves for property taxes, capital expenditures and capital improvements in connection with our loan portfolio. When we repay the loans, the restricted balances that are held at that time will become available to us as unrestricted funds. In addition, $388,000 of the restricted cash balance represents an escrow account that was funded from the proceeds of the sale of our Southwood property to pay a rent guaranty to the buyer for a period of five years. The buyer will receive payments from this escrow account until such time as the vacant space is leased and, at that time, we will receive any remaining proceeds, net leasing costs and required tenant improvements.
 
Other Liquidity Needs
 
Our distribution rate of 7.0% per annum has been the same among Class A, Class B and Class C unit holders since inception. In the event that there is a shortfall in net cash available due to various factors, including, without limitation, the timing of such distributions or the timing of the collections of receivables, we may seek to obtain capital to pay distributions by means of secured or unsecured debt financing through one or more third parties, or our manager or its affiliates. There are currently no limits or restrictions on the use of proceeds from, our manager or its affiliate which would prohibit us from making the proceeds available for distribution. We may also pay distributions from cash from capital transactions, including, without limitation, the sale of one or more of our properties.
 
On April 20, 2007, we paid a special distribution of $600,000, or approximately $60.18 per unit, which approximates the taxable share of our 2006 income to our unit holders when added to the 2006 distributions already paid.
 
Our manager is currently evaluating the current distribution rate, and if increased leasing activity and/or property sales do not occur, our manager may reduce or suspend distributions until cash flow from operations and/or sales activities support our current distribution rate of 7.0% per annum.
 
We estimate that our expenditures for capital improvements, tenant improvements and lease commissions will require up to $5,789,000 within in the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2007, we had $1,972,000 of restricted cash in loan impounds and reserve accounts for such capital expenditures and any remaining expenditures will be paid with net cash from operations or net proceeds from the sale of assets. We cannot provide assurance, however, that we will not exceed these estimated expenditure and distribution levels or be able to obtain additional sources of financing on commercially favorable terms or at all.
 
If we experience lower occupancy levels, reduced rental rates, reduced revenues as a result of asset sales, increased capital expenditures and leasing costs compared to historical levels due to competitive market conditions for new and renewal leases, the effect would be a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities. If such a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities is realized and our manager continues to declare distributions for the unit holders at current levels, we may have a cash flow deficit in subsequent periods. In connection with such a shortfall in net cash available, we may seek to obtain capital to pay distributions by means of secured or unsecured debt financing through one or more third parties, or our manager or its affiliates. This estimate is based on various assumptions which are difficult to predict, including the levels of leasing activity at year end and related leasing costs. Any changes in these assumptions could impact the financial results and our ability to fund working capital and unanticipated cash needs. To the extent any distributions are made to the unit holders in excess of accumulated earnings, the excess distributions are considered a return of capital to the unit holders for federal income tax purposes. Distributions in excess of

tax capital are non-taxable to the extent of tax basis. Distributions in excess of tax basis will constitute capital gains.
 
Cash Flows
 
Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $4,018,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $771,000, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $4,789,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net cash used in operating activities included an increase in net income of $448,000, adjusted for an increase in non-cash reconciling items, the most significant of which was a $2.6 million increase in gain on sale of real estate in 2007 from the sale of the Interwood property, the Daniels Road land parcel, and the Woodside property, compared to 2006. Partially offsetting the cash used was an increase in cash provided by operating activities primarily due to net changes in other operating assets and liabilities of $3.0 million primarily resulting from the acquisition of two properties and the disposition of three properties.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $17,530,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $33,397,000, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $15,867,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Contributing to the increase was $53,473,000 in cash used to acquire Four Resource Square and The Sevens Building, including closing costs in 2007, compared to $26,060,000 used to acquire 901 Civic Center and Tiffany Square in 2006. Also contributing to the increase was $5,949,000 in restricted cash due to an increase in lenders’ required reserves on properties that were acquired or refinanced in 2007.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $29,112,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $50,306,000 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $21,194,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to a $46,978,000 increase in borrowings under mortgage loans payable and other debt was primarily attributable to the refinancing of Tiffany Square and borrowings associated with the acquisition of Four Resource Square and The Sevens Building. Also contributing to the increase was a decrease of $3,129,000 in cash distributions paid to minority interest stakeholders compared to the same period in 2006.
 
As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents increased by $7,564,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $8,208,000 as of December 31, 2007, compared to $644,000 as of December 31, 2006.
 
Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
 
Net cash used in operating activities were $4,789,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $5,027,000, compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to operating three additional properties for most of 2006, compared to 2005, which resulted in an increase in cash paid for interest on mortgages of $4,263,000.
 
Net cash provided by investing activities were $15,867,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $80,396,000, compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to a reduction in the number of acquisitions of real estate properties to two properties in 2006 from four in 2005, which decreased the cash used by $72,929,000. Additionally in 2006, we sold the Oakey Building and the 3500 Maple property, which contributed to the $7,036,000 increase in proceeds from sale of real estate properties compared to 2005.
 
Net cash used in financing activities were $21,194,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $86,349,000, compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in mortgage payable borrowings of $85,421,000 as a result of a reduction in the amount of acquisitions in 2006.
 
As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $10,116,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $644,000 as of December 31, 2006, compared to $10,760,000 as of December 31, 2005.

Capital Resources
 
General
 
Our primary sources of capital are our real estate operations, our ability to leverage the increased market value in the real estate assets we own, including proceeds from the sale of properties, and our ability to obtain debt financing from third parties and related parties including, without limitation, our manager and its affiliates. We derive substantially all of our revenues from tenants under leases at our properties. Our operating cash flow, therefore, depends materially on the rents that we are able to charge our tenants and the ability of these tenants to make their rental payments to us. The terms of any debt financing received from our manager or its affiliates are not negotiated on an arm’s length basis and under the terms of the Operating Agreement, we may be required to pay interest on our borrowings at a rate of up to 12.00% per annum. We may use the net proceeds from such loans for any purpose, including, without limitation, operating requirements, capital and tenant improvements, rate lock deposits and distributions.
 
Our primary uses of cash are to fund distributions to our unit holders, to fund capital investment in our existing portfolio of operating assets, to fund acquisitions and for debt service. We may also regularly require capital to invest in our existing portfolio of operating assets in connection with routine capital improvements, deferred maintenance on our properties recently acquired and leasing activities, including funding tenant improvements, allowances, leasing commissions, development of land and capital improvements. The amounts of the leasing-related expenditures can vary significantly depending on negotiations with tenants and the willingness of tenants to pay higher base rents over the life of the leases.
 
Our distribution rate of 7.0% per annum (excluding special distributions), has been the same among Class A, Class B and Class C unit holders since inception. In the event that there is a shortfall in net cash available due to various factors, including, without limitation, the timing of such distributions or the timing of the collections of receivables, we may seek to obtain capital to pay distributions by means of secured or unsecured debt financing through one or more third parties, including our manager and its affiliates. There are currently no limits or restrictions on the use of proceeds from our manager and its affiliates that would prohibit us from making the proceeds available for distribution. We may also pay distributions from cash from capital transactions, including, without limitation, the sale of one or more of our properties.
 
Our manager is currently evaluating the current distribution rate, and if increased leasing activity and/or property sales does not occur, our manager may reduce or suspend distributions until cash flow from operations and/or sales activities support our current distribution rate of 7.0% per annum.
 
We currently anticipate that we will require up to $3.5 million to fund our distributions for the year ended December 31, 2008, which we intend to fund with cash from operations and gains from the sale of real estate. In the event we cannot make the distributions from operations and sales of real estate, we may use one or a combination of short-term debt and long-term debt.
 
Distributions payable to our unit holders may include a return of capital as well as a return in excess of capital. Distributions exceeding taxable income will constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes to the extent of a unit holder’s basis. Distributions in excess of tax basis will generally constitute capital gain.

Insurance Coverage
 
Property Damage, Business Interruption, Earthquake and Terrorism
 
The insurance coverage provided through third-party insurance carriers is subject to coverage limitations. Should an uninsured or underinsured loss occur, we could lose all or a portion of our investment in, and anticipated cash flows from, one or more of the properties. In addition, there can be no assurance that third-party insurance carriers will be able to maintain reinsurance sufficient to cover any losses that may be incurred.
 
Debt Service Requirements
 
One of our principal liquidity needs is the payment of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness, which includes mortgage loans payable and other debt. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, some of our properties, including properties held for sale, were subject to existing mortgages, which had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $71,682,000 and $37,186,000, respectively. Our total mortgage loans payable

consisted of fixed rate debt of $26,000,000, or 36.3% and $5,000,000, or 13.4%, at a weighted-average interest rate of 6.73% per annum and 10.00% per annum as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our total mortgage loans payable consisted of variable rate debt of $45,682,000, or 63.7%, and $32,186,000, or 86.6%, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, at a weighted-average interest rate of 7.45% per annum and 8.52% per annum as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the weighted-average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 7.19% per annum and 8.72% per annum, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not or will not have off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or obligations (including contingent obligations) that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in the financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
 
Inflation
 
We are exposed to inflation risk as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions include rent steps, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot allowance basis. However, due to the long-term nature of the leases, among other factors, the leases may not re-set frequently enough to cover inflation.
 
Subsequent Events
 
Rental Income
 
On January 25, 2008, the property manager of our Tiffany Square property located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was notified by PRC, LLC, or PRC, Tiffany Square’s largest tenant, that PRC had filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or the Bankruptcy Code. PRC is a party to a lease agreement that terminates on May 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2007, PRC represents 69.2% of the Tiffany Square property’s rental revenue and 9.6% of the total rental revenue of NNN 2003 Value Fund, LLC.

Table of Contents

PRC has reiterated to our property manager that its filing for protection under Chapter 11 is for reorganization, and not liquidation, and it is still conducting business. Pursuant to sections 365(b)(2) and 365(e)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the act of filing for bankruptcy does not constitute a remediable default under a lease agreement. As of March 31, 2008, PRC has made all payments due under its lease agreement. In the event of a company’s default for non-payment under a lease, the Bankruptcy Code generally limits creditors to pursue monetary damages under the Bankruptcy Code’s distribution scheme. In such a case, to recover possession of their leased space, creditors generally must first obtain relief from the bankruptcy court before exercising their rights under state law.
 
Mortgage Loans Payable and Other Debt
 
Executive Center
 
On February 28, 2008, we exercised a second six month extension option on our mortgage loan at the Executive Center property extending the maturity date to October 1, 2008. The mortgage loan originally matured on October 1, 2007. The outstanding principal balance of this mortgage loan was $5,000,000 as of December 31, 2007.
 
901 Civic Center
 
As previously disclosed in our September 30, 2007 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, LaSalle Bank National Association, the lender for our secured loan on our 901 Civic Center property has waived the imputed debt service coverage ratio, actual debt service coverage ratio and combined debt service coverage ratio, or collectively the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio, requirements for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007. The outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan was $10,927,000 as of December 31, 2007. We currently anticipate that we will not be in compliance with the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirements for the quarter ending March 31, 2008. If we are unable to obtain a waiver from the lender for our non-compliance or pay down the loan by the amount required to comply with the applicable Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the lender may declare us in default of the loan agreement. An event of default could result in a material adverse affect on our operating activities and cash flow by: (i) allowing the lender to declare the entire principal balance of the loan as of March 31, 2008 of $11,157,000 and all accrued interest immediately due and payable; (ii) allowing the lender to foreclose on the property; (iii) allowing the lender to seize the income generated by the property; (iv) reducing our current and long-term liquidity; (v) hindering our ability to negotiate future loan transactions on favorable terms; or (vi) affecting our ability to pay distributions or reducing the amount of distributions paid to our unit holders.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, or SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157, which will be applied to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and provides for expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was issued to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, or FSP FAS 157-1. FSP FAS 157-1 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP FAS 157-1 also excludes from the scope of SFAS No. 157 certain leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. We adopted SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-1 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


46


Table of Contents

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements since we will not be electing to apply the fair value option for any of our eligible financial instruments or other items on the January 1, 2008 effective date.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued revised Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, or SFAS No. 141R. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS No. 160. SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 and have not yet determined the impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 161. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk — related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. We may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to seek to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents, as of December 31, 2007, the principal amounts and weighted-average interest rates by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

    8.22%       7.70%       6.90%                         7.45%        
 
The estimated fair value of total mortgage loans payable was $71,255,000 as of December 31, 2007.
 
The weighted-average interest rate of our mortgage loans payable as of December 31, 2007 was 7.19% per annum. As of December 31, 2007, our mortgage loans payable consisted of $26,000,000, or 36.3%, of the total mortgage loans payable at a fixed interest rate of 6.73% per annum and $45,682,000, or 63.7%, of the total mortgage loans payable at a variable interest rate of 7.45% per annum.
 
An increase in the variable interest rate on certain mortgage loans payable constitutes a market risk. As of December 31, 2007, for example a 0.50% increase in LIBOR would have increased our overall annual interest expense by $228,000, or 6.7%. Our exposure to market changes in interest rates is similar to what we faced as of December 31, 2006.

The estimated fair value of total mortgage loans payable was $38,992,000 as of December 31, 2006.
 
The weighted-average interest rate of our mortgage loans payable as of December 31, 2006 was 8.72% per annum. As of December 31, 2006, our mortgage loans payable consisted of $5,000,000, or 13.4%, of the total mortgage loans payable at a fixed interest rate of 10.00% per annum and $32,186,000, or 86.6%, of the total mortgage loans payable at a variable interest rate of 8.52% per annum.
 
An increase in the variable interest rate on certain mortgage loans payable constitutes a market risk. As of December 31, 2006, for example a 0.50% increase in LIBOR would have increased our overall annual interest expense by $161,000, or 5.9%.

Item 9A(T).   Controls and Procedures.
 
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and our manager’s chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we necessarily were required to apply our judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that we adopt outweigh their costs.
 
As of December 31, 2007, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and our manager, including our manager’s chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our manager’s chief financial officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our manager’s chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
Based on our evaluation under the Internal Control-Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.
 
(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Fiduciary Relationship of our Manager to Us
 
Our manager is a fiduciary of us and has fiduciary duties to us and our unit holders pursuant to the Operating Agreement and under applicable law. Our manager’s fiduciary duties include responsibility for our control and management and exercising good faith and integrity in handling our affairs. Our manager has a fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all of our funds and assets, whether or not in our immediate possession and control, and may not use or permit another to use such funds or assets in any manner except for our exclusive benefit.
 
Our funds are not and will not be commingled with the funds of any other person or entity except for operating revenue from our properties.
 
Our manager may employ persons or firms to carry out all or any portion of our business. Some or all such persons or entities employed may be affiliates of our manager. It is not clear under current law the extent, if any, that such parties will have a fiduciary duty to us or our members. Investors who have questions concerning the fiduciary duties of our manager should consult with their own legal counsel.
 
Committees of our Board of Directors
 
We do not have our own board of directors or board committees. We rely upon our manager to provide recommendations regarding acquisitions, compensation and financial disclosure.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, requires our officers and persons who own 10.0% or more of our units, to report their beneficial ownership of our units (and any related options) to the SEC. Their initial reports must be filed using the SEC’s Form 3 and they must report subsequent unit purchases, sales, option exercises and other changes using the SEC’s Form 4, which must be filed within two business days of most transactions. In some cases, such as changes in ownership arising from gifts and inheritances, the SEC allows delayed reporting at year-end on Form 5. Officers, directors and unit holders owning more than 10.0% of our common stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all of reports they file pursuant to Section 16(a).
 
Based solely on our review of these reports filed by or on behalf of our chief executive officer and our manager’s executive officer, as of March 31, 2008, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our reporting persons during 2007 were complied with.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial statement schedules based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company 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 Company’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 Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such consolidated financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
 
The use of the words “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to NNN 2003 Value Fund, LLC and our subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.
 
1.   Organization and Description of Business
 
NNN 2003 Value Fund, LLC was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on June 19, 2003. We were organized to acquire, own, operate and subsequently sell all or a portion of a number of unspecified properties believed to have higher than average potential for capital appreciation, or value-added properties. As of December 31, 2007, we held interests in eight properties, including five consolidated interests in office properties, or our consolidated properties, aggregating a total gross leaseable area, or GLA, of 837,000 square feet and three unconsolidated interests in office properties, or our unconsolidated properties, aggregating a total GLA of 1,140,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2007, 64.9% of the total GLA of our consolidated properties was leased. Our principal objectives are to: (i) have the potential within approximately one to five years, subject to market conditions, to realize income on the sale of our properties; (ii) realize income through the acquisition, operation, development and sale of our properties or our interests in our properties; and (iii) make monthly distributions to our unit holders from cash generated from operations and capital transactions.
 
Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, LLC, or Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors (formerly known as Triple Net Properties, LLC), or our manager, manages us pursuant to the terms of an operating agreement, or the Operating Agreement. While we have no employees, certain executive officers and employees of our manager provide services to us pursuant to the Operating Agreement. Our manager engages affiliated entities, including Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc., or Realty, to provide certain services to us. Realty serves as our property manager pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement and a property management agreement, or the Management Agreement. The Operating Agreement terminates upon our dissolution. The unit holders may not vote to terminate our manager prior to the termination of the Operating Agreement or our dissolution except for cause. The Management Agreement terminates with respect to each of our properties upon the earlier of the sale of each respective property or December 31, 2013. Realty may be terminated without cause prior to the termination of the Management Agreement or our dissolution, subject to certain conditions, including the payment by us to Realty of a termination fee as provided in the Management Agreement.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2006, NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., or NNN Realty Advisors, acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests of Triple Net Properties, LLC, NNN Capital Corp. and Realty. As a result, our manager is managed by executive officers appointed by the board of directors of NNN Realty Advisors and is no longer managed by a board of managers.
 
On December 7, 2007, NNN Realty Advisors, Inc. merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Grubb & Ellis Company, or Grubb & Ellis. The combined company retained the Grubb & Ellis name and continues to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GBE.” In connection with the merger, Triple Net Properties, LLC, and NNN Capital Corp. changed their name to Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, LLC and Grubb & Ellis Securities, Inc., respectively.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, any majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation, or FIN, No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin no. 51, as revised, or FIN 46(R), that we have concluded should be consolidated. All material intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. We account for all other unconsolidated real estate investments using the equity method of

NNN 2003 VALUE FUND, LLC
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
accounting. Accordingly, our share of the earnings (loss) of these real estate investments is included in consolidated net income.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Actual results could differ, perhaps in material adverse ways, from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Short-term investments with remaining maturities of three months or less when acquired are considered cash equivalents.
 
Restricted Cash
 
Restricted cash is comprised of impound reserve accounts for property taxes, insurance, capital improvements and tenant improvements.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Tenant receivables and unbilled deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for doubtful current tenant receivables and unbilled deferred rent. An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants to meet the contractual obligations under their lease agreements. Our determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual tenant receivables considering the tenant’s financial condition, security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees and current economic conditions and other relevant factors. We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $228,000 and $0 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, to reduce receivables to our estimate of the amount recoverable.
 
Investment in Marketable Securities
 
Marketable securities are carried at fair value and consist primarily of investments in marketable equity securities. We classify our marketable securities portfolio as available-for-sale. This portfolio is continually monitored for differences between the cost and estimated fair value of each security. If we believe that a decline in the value of an equity security is temporary, we record the change in other comprehensive income in unit holders’ equity. If the decline is believed to be other than temporary, the equity security is written down to the fair value and a realized loss is recorded on our statement of operations. If that judgment changes in the future, we may ultimately record a realized loss after having initially concluded that the decline in value was temporary. We had investments in marketable securities of $1,054,000 and $0 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our assessment of a decline in value includes, among other things, our current judgment as to the financial position and future prospects of the entity that issued the security.
 
Impairment
 
Our properties are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation or fair value less costs to sell. We assess the impairment of a real estate asset when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their


64


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. Indicators we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
 
  •  a significant negative industry or economic trend;
 
  •  a significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; and
 
  •  a significant change in the manner in which the asset is used.
 
In the event that the carrying amount of a property exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) that are expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the property, we would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeded the estimated fair value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on subjective assumptions dependent upon future and current market conditions and events that affect the ultimate value of the property. It requires us to make assumptions related to future rental rates, tenant allowances, operating expenditures, property taxes, capital improvements, occupancy levels, and the estimated proceeds generated from the future sale of the property.
 
There were no impairment losses incurred during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
Purchase Price Allocation
 
In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 141, Business Combinations, we, with the assistance of independent valuation specialists, allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identified intangible assets based on their respective fair values. The allocation to tangible assets (building and land) is based upon our determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by us include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. Additionally, the purchase price of the applicable property is allocated to the above or below market value of in-place leases and the value of in-place leases and related tenant relationships.
 
The value allocable to the above or below market component of the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) our estimate of the amounts that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above market leases are included in the intangible in-place lease asset and below market lease values are included in intangible lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are amortized to rental income over the weighted-average remaining term of the acquired leases with each property.
 
The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease costs and the value of tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by us in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.
 
These allocations are subject to change based on information received within one year of the purchase related to one or more events identified at the time of purchase which confirm the value of an asset or liability received in an acquisition of property.

Operating Properties
 
Operating properties are carried at the lower of historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of the operating properties includes the cost of land and completed buildings and related improvements. Expenditures that increase the service life of properties are capitalized and the cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. The cost of building and improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements, ranging primarily from 15 to 39 years and the shorter of the lease term or useful life, ranging from one to eleven years for tenant improvements. When depreciable property is retired or disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss reflected in operations.
 
An operating property is evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets and tenant improvements used in operations. Impairment losses are recorded on an operating property when indicators of impairment are present and the carrying amount of the asset is greater than the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. We would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeded the fair value of the property. There were no impairment losses incurred during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
Properties Held for Sale
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, or SFAS No. 144, at such time as a property is held for sale, such property is carried at the lower of (i) its carrying amount or (ii) fair value less costs to sell. In addition, a property being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. We classify operating properties as property held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:
 
  •  management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset;
 
  •  the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;
 
  •  an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated;
 
  •  the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year;
 
  •  the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and
 
  •  given the actions required to complete the plan, it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
 
SFAS, No. 144, addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and requires that, in a period in which a component of an entity either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the income statements for current and prior periods shall report the results of operations of the component as discontinued operations. In addition, a property being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. On February 24, 2005, we sold the Satellite Place property, on April 13, 2005, we sold Financial Plaza, on December 19, 2005, we sold Southwood Tower property, on January 24, 2006, we sold the Oakey Building property, and on October 31, 2006, we sold the 3500 Maple property. In addition, on March 14, 2007, we sold the Interwood property, on March 30, 2007, we sold the Daniels Road land parcel, and on December 13, 2007, we sold the Woodside property. As a result of such sales, we reclassified amounts related to the Satellite Place property, the Financial Plaza property, the Southwood Tower property, the Oakey

Building property, the 3500 Maple property, the Interwood property, the Daniels Road land parcel, and the Woodside property in the consolidated financial statements to reflect the reclassification required by SFAS No. 144.
 
Accordingly, revenues, operating costs and expenses, and other non-operating results for the discontinued operations of the Satellite Place property, the Financial Plaza property, the Southwood Tower property, the Oakey Building property, the 3500 Maple property, the Interwood property, the Daniels Road land parcel, and the Woodside property have been excluded from our results from continuing operations for all periods presented herein. The financial results for the Satellite Place property, the Financial Plaza property, the Southwood Tower property, the Oakey Building property, the 3500 Maple property, the Interwood property, the Daniels Road land parcel and the Woodside property are presented in our consolidated statements of operations in a single line item entitled Income (loss) from discontinued operations and the related assets and liabilities are presented in the consolidated balance sheet line items entitled Properties held for sale, net, Other assets — properties held for sale, Mortgage loans payable secured by properties held for sale, and Other liabilities — properties held for sale, net.
 
Other Assets
 
Other assets consist primarily of deferred rent receivables, leasing commissions, deferred financing costs, prepaid expenses and deposits. Costs incurred for property leasing have been capitalized as deferred assets. Deferred financing costs included amounts paid to lenders and others to obtain financing. Such costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related loan which approximates the effective interest rate method. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred leasing costs include leasing commissions that are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related lease.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
We are exposed to the risk of interest rate changes in the normal course of business. We seek to mitigate this risk by following established risk management policies and procedures which include the occasional use of derivatives. Our primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the volatility that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows. We employ derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps and caps, to effectively convert a portion of our variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
 
The following table lists the derivative financial instrument held by us as of December 31, 2007:
 
                                             
Notional Amount     Index     Rate     Fair Value     Instrument     Maturity  
 
$ 10,550,000       LIBOR       5.40 %   $ (33,000 )     SWAP       05/12/2008  
 
The fair value of the derivative financial instrument was $(38,000) as of December 31, 2006.
 
Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet and are measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 133. Since our derivative instruments are not designated as hedge instruments, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, and accordingly, changes in fair value are included as a component of interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in the period of change.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, as amended and interpreted, minimum annual rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease (including rent holidays).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Tenant reimbursement revenue, which is comprised of additional amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses, is recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and accounts receivable from tenants. Cash is generally invested in investment-grade short-term instruments and the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer is limited. We have cash in financial institutions which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, up to $100,000 per institution. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had cash accounts in excess of FDIC insured limits. We believe this risk is not significant. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable from tenants is limited. We perform credit evaluations of prospective tenants, and security deposits are obtained upon lease execution.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we had interests in one consolidated property located in Texas which accounted for 8.0% of our total rental revenue, one consolidated property located in California which accounted for 15.8% of our total rental revenue, one consolidated property located in Colorado which accounted for 13.8% of our total rental revenue, one consolidated property located in North Carolina which accounted for 24.9% of our total rental revenue, and one consolidated property located in St. Louis which accounted for 37.5% of our total rental revenue. These rental revenues are based on contractual base rent from leases in effect as of December 31, 2007. Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to fluctuations in each state’s economy.
 
As of December 31, 2007, two of our tenants at our consolidated properties accounted for 10.0% or more of our aggregate annual rental revenue, as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, or SFAS No. 107, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value. SFAS No. 107 defines fair value as the quoted market prices for those instruments that are actively traded in financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using present value or other valuation techniques. The fair value estimates are made at the end of each year based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, such as estimates of timing and amount of expected future cash flows. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.
 
Our consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, tenant rent and other receivables, investments in marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued expenses, mortgage loans payable and interest rate swaps. We consider the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, tenant rent and other receivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses to approximate fair value for these financial instruments because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. Marketable securities are carried at fair value. The fair value of due to and from related parties is not determinable due to its related party nature. Based on borrowing rates available to us, the fair value of our mortgage loans payable including properties held for sale as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $71,255,000 and $38,992,000, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
We are a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and taxable income is reported by our unit holders on their individual tax returns. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations except for insignificant amounts related to state franchise and income taxes.
 
Comprehensive Income
 
We report comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement defines comprehensive income as the changes in equity of an enterprise except those resulting from unit holders’ transactions. Accordingly, comprehensive income includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income. Our only comprehensive income items were net income and the unrealized change in fair value of marketable securities.
 
Per Unit Data
 
We report earnings per unit pursuant to SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Unit. Basic earnings (loss) per unit attributable for all periods presented are computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average


69

number of units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per unit are computed based on the weighted-average number of units and all potentially dilutive securities, if any. We did not have any dilutive securities during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
Total net (loss) income per unit is calculated as follows:
 
                         
    Years Ended December 31,  
    2007     2006     2005

Segment Disclosure
 
The FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which 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 investing in office buildings and value-add commercial office properties. Our investments in real estate are geographically diversified and management evaluates operating performance on an individual property level. However, as each of our properties has similar economic characteristics, tenants, and products and services, our properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
Minority Interests
 
A minority interest relates to the interest in the consolidated entities that are not wholly-owned by us.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, or SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157, which will be applied to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and provides for expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was issued to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, or FSP FAS 157-1. FSP FAS 157-1 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP FAS 157-1 also excludes from the scope of SFAS No. 157 certain leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. We adopted SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-1 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements since we will not be electing to apply the fair value option for any of our eligible financial instruments or other items on the January 1, 2008 effective date.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued revised Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, or SFAS No. 141R. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS No. 160. SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 and have not yet determined the impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 161. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions in 2007
 
Consolidated Properties
 
Four Resource Square — Charlotte, North Carolina
 
On March 7, 2007, we acquired Four Resource Square, located in Charlotte, North Carolina for a contract purchase price of $23,200,000, excluding closing costs. We acquired the property from an unaffiliated third party. We financed the purchase price of the property with a $23,000,000 secured loan from RAIT Partnership, L.P. We paid an acquisition fee of $464,000, or 2.0% of the contract purchase price, to Realty and its affiliates.
 
The Sevens Building — St. Louis, Missouri
 
On October 25, 2007, we acquired The Sevens Building property, located in St. Louis, Missouri for a contract purchase price of $28,250,000, excluding closing costs. We acquired the property from an unaffiliated third party. We financed the purchase price of the property with an initial advance of $21,000,000 from a $23,500,000 secured loan from General Electric Capital Corporation, or GE Capital; $4,725,000 from an unsecured loan with NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of our Manger; and $3,884,000 from available cash from operations. An acquisition fee of $847,500, or 3.0% of the contract purchase price, and a loan fee of $118,000, or 0.5% of the principal amount of the secured loan, was paid to Realty and its affiliates.
 
Potential Property Acquisitions
 
We are currently considering other potential property acquisitions. The decision to acquire one or more of these properties will generally depend upon the following conditions, among others:
 
  •  receipt of a satisfactory environmental survey and property appraisal for each property;


72

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
 
  •  no material adverse change occurring in the properties, the tenants or in the local economic conditions; and
 
  •  receipt of sufficient financing.
 
There can be no assurance that any or all of the conditions will be satisfied.
 
Dispositions in 2007
 
Consolidated Properties
 
Interwood — Houston, Texas
 
On March 14, 2007, we sold the Interwood property, located in Houston, Texas, to NNN 4101 Interwood LLC, an entity also managed by our manager, for a contract sales price of $11,000,000, excluding closing costs. Since this transaction was a related party transaction, we obtained a fairness opinion from an independent financial advisor who concluded that the consideration received for the property was fair to us from a financial point of view. In connection with the sale, we repaid the existing mortgage loan of $5,500,000. Our net cash proceeds were $4,900,000 after closing costs and other transaction expenses. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2,677,000, and Realty or its affiliate was paid a disposition fee of $165,000, or 1.5% of the contract sale price.
 
Daniels Road land parcel — Heber City, Utah
 
On March 30, 2007, we sold the Daniels Road land parcel, located in Heber City, Utah, to an unaffiliated third party for a contract sales price of $1,259,000, excluding closing costs. Our net cash proceeds were $1,193,000 after closing costs and other transaction expenses. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $457,000. A real estate commission of approximately $63,000, or 5.0% of the contract sales price, was paid to an unaffiliated broker in connection with the sale.
 
Woodside — Beaverton, Oregon
 
On December 13, 2007, we sold the Woodside property, located in Beaverton, Oregon, to NNN Woodside LLC, an entity also managed by our manager, for a contract sales price of $31,700,000, excluding closing costs. Since this transaction was a related party transaction, we obtained a fairness opinion from an independent financial advisor who concluded that the consideration received for the property was fair from a financial point of view to us. Our net cash proceeds were $11,257,000 after payment of the related mortgage loan, closing costs and other transaction expenses, and the return of lender required reserves. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $6,568,000. On December 13, 2007, we repaid all outstanding principal and accrued interest, in the amount of $4,736,000, on an unsecured promissory note issued to NNN Realty Advisors, Inc., from the net cash proceeds received from the disposition of the Woodside property. In connection with the sale, Realty or its affiliate was paid a disposition fee of $317,000, or 1.0% of the contract sales price.
 
Acquisitions in 2006
 
Consolidated Properties

8.   Mortgage Loans Payable and Other Debt
 
We have fixed and variable rate mortgage loans payables, including properties held for sale, of $71,682,000 and $37,186,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the effective interest rates on mortgage loans payable ranged from 5.95% to 10.0% per annum and 7.60% to 13.35% per annum, respectively, and the weighted-average effective interest rate was 7.19% and 8.72% per annum, respectively. The loans mature at various dates through October 2010. As of December 31, 2007, none of our mortgage loans payable has monthly principal payments.
 
The composition of our aggregate mortgage loans payable balances as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

  $ 71,682,000     $ 37,186,000       7.19 %     8.72 %
Fixed rate and variable rate:

  $ 26,000,000     $ 5,000,000       6.73 %     10.00 %
Variable rate
  $ 45,682,000     $ 32,186,000       7.45 %     8.52 %
 
Certain of our properties financed by borrowings are required by the terms of their applicable loan documents to meet certain financial covenants such as minimum loan to value, debt service coverage and performance covenants, as well as other requirements on a combined and individual basis. As of December 31, 2007, we were in compliance with such covenants on all our mortgage loans except for the imputed debt service coverage ratio, actual debt service coverage ratio and combined debt service coverage ratio, or collectively the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratios, under the secured loan agreement for 901 Civic Center.
 
As previously disclosed in our September 30, 2007 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, LaSalle Bank National Association, the lender for our secured loan on our 901 Civic Center property has waived the imputed debt service coverage ratio, actual debt service coverage ratio and combined debt service coverage ratio, or collectively the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio, requirements for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007. The outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan was $10,927,000 as of December 31, 2007. We currently anticipate that we will not be in compliance with the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirements for the quarter ending March 31, 2008. If we are unable to obtain a waiver from the lender for our non-compliance or pay down the loan by the amount required to comply with the applicable Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the lender may declare us in default of the loan agreement. An event of default could result in a material adverse affect on our operating activities and cash flow by: (i) allowing the lender to declare the entire principal balance of the loan as of March 31, 2008 of $11,157,000 and all accrued interest immediately due and payable; (ii) allowing the lender to foreclose on the property; (iii) allowing the lender to seize the income generated by the property; (iv) reducing our current and long-term liquidity; (v) hindering our ability to negotiate future loan transactions on favorable terms; or (vi) affecting our ability to pay distributions or reducing the amount of distributions paid to our unit holders.

We have a margin securities account with the Margin Lending Program at Merrill Lynch which allows us to purchase securities on margin. The margin borrowing is secured by the securities purchased and cannot exceed 50.0% of the fair market value of the securities purchased. If the balance of the margin account exceeds 50.0% of the fair market value of the securities held, we will be subject to a margin call and required to fund the account to return the margin to 50.0% of the fair market value of the securities. The margin securities account bears interest at the Merrill Lynch based lending rate, subject to additional interest on a sliding scale based on the value of the margin account. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we borrowed $999,000 and $0, respectively, and repaid $999,000 and $0, respectively, on margin. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had no margin liabilities outstanding. We have complied with Merrill Lynch’s margin lending policy for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
 
9.   Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133. Since our derivative instruments are not designated as hedge instruments, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, and accordingly, changes in fair value are included as a component of interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in the period of change.
 
The following table lists the derivative financial instrument held by us as of December 31, 2007:
 
                                         
Notional Amount     Index     Rate     Fair Value     Instrument   Maturity  
 
$ 10,550,000       LIBOR       5.40 %   $ (33,000 )   SWAP     05/12/2008  
 
We recorded $5,000 as a deduction and $40,000 as an addition to interest expense, related to the change in the swap fair value, for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The fair value of the derivative was $(38,000) as of December 31, 2006.

11.   Unit Holders’ Equity
 
Pursuant to our Private Placement Memorandum, we offered for sale to the public a minimum of 1,000 and a maximum of 10,000 units at a price of $5,000 per unit. We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 under Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
There are three classes of membership interests, or units, each having different rights with respect to distributions. As of December 31, 2007, there were 4,000 Class A units, 3,170 Class B units and 2,800 Class C units issued and outstanding. The rights and obligations of all unit holders are governed by the Operating Agreement. On March 9, 2006, we repurchased 30 Class B units for $134,000, which approximated the net proceeds we originally received (after offering costs) from the original issuance. As of December 31, 2006, there were 4,000 Class A units, 3,170 Class B units and 2,800 Class C units issued and outstanding. The rights and obligations of all unit holders are governed by the Operating Agreement.
 
Cash from Operations, as defined in the Operating Agreement, is first distributed to all unit holders pro rata until all Class A unit holders, Class B unit holders and Class C unit holders have received a 10.0%, 9.0% and 8.0% cumulative (but not compounded) annual return on their contributed and unrecovered capital, respectively. In the event that any distribution of Cash from Operations is not sufficient to pay the return described above, all unit holders receive identical pro rata distributions, except that Class C unit holders do not receive more than an 8.0% return on their Class C units, and Class B unit holders do not receive more than a 9.0% return on their Class B units. Excess Cash from Operations is then allocated pro rata to all unit holders on a per outstanding unit basis and further distributed to the unit holders and our manager based on predetermined ratios providing our manager with a share of 15.0%, 20.0% and 25.0% of the distributions available to Class A units, Class B units and Class C units, respectively, of such excess Cash from Operations.
 
Cash from Capital Transactions, as defined in the Operating Agreement, is first used to satisfy our debt and liability obligations; then distributed pro rata to all unit holders in accordance with their membership interests until all capital contributions are reduced to zero; and lastly, in accordance with the distributions as outlined above in the Cash from Operations.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, distributions of $411, $602, and $352 per unit were declared, aggregating approximately $4,090,000, $5,997,000, and $3,493,000 in distributions, respectively. Class A units, Class B units and Class C units have received identical per-unit distributions; however, distributions may vary among the three classes of units in the future.

14.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
SEC Investigation
 
On September 16, 2004, our manager advised us that it learned that the SEC Los Angeles Enforcement Division, or the SEC Staff, was conducting an investigation referred to as “In the matter of Triple Net Properties, LLC.” The SEC Staff has requested information from our manager relating to disclosure in public and private securities offerings sponsored by our manager and its affiliates, or the Triple Net securities offerings (including our offering). The SEC Staff has requested financial and other information regarding the Triple Net securities offerings and the disclosures included in the related offering documents.
 
Our manager is engaged in settlement negotiations with the SEC Staff regarding this matter. Based on these negotiations, our manager believes that the conclusion to this matter will not result in a material adverse affect to its results of operations, financial condition or ability to manage our business. The settlement


84


Table of Contents

 
NNN 2003 VALUE FUND, LLC
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
negotiations are continuing, and any settlement negotiated with the SEC Staff must be approved by the Commissioners. Since the matter is not concluded, it remains subject to the risk that the SEC may seek additional remedies, including substantial fines and injunctive relief against our manager that, if obtained, could harm our manager’s ability to perform its duties to us and/or delay the payment of distributions to our unit holders. The matters that are the subject of this investigation could also give rise to claims against our manager by investors in its existing real estate investment programs which could adversely affect our manager’s performance to us. At this time, we cannot assess how or when the outcome of this matter will be ultimately determined and its impact on us. Therefore, at this time, we have not accrued any loss contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5.
 
Prior Performance Tables
 
In connection with our offering of the sale of our units from July 11, 2003 through October 14, 2004, we disclosed the prior performance of all public and non-public investment programs sponsored by our manager. Our manager subsequently determined that there were certain errors in those prior performance tables. In particular, the financial information in the tables was stated to be presented in accordance with GAAP. Generally, the tables for the public programs were not presented on a GAAP basis and the tables for the non-public programs were prepared and presented on a tax or cash accounting basis. Moreover, a number of the prior performance data figures were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash basis. In particular, certain programs sponsored by our manager have invested either along side or in other programs sponsored by our manager. The nature and results of these investments were not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables. In addition, certain calculations of depreciation and amortization were not on an income tax basis for a limited liability company investment; certain operating expenses were not reflected in the operating results; and monthly mortgage and principal payments were not reported. In general, the resulting effect on our manager’s program and aggregate portfolio operating results is: (i) an aggregate overstatement of $1,730,000 attributable to its private real estate programs; and (ii) an aggregate understatement of $1,405,000 attributable to its private notes programs, resulting in a total net overstatement of approximately $325,000 for cash generated after payment of cash distributions.
 
Litigation
 
Neither we or any of our properties are presently subject to any material litigation or, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us or any of our properties which if determined unfavorably to us would have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Environmental Matters
 
We follow the policy of monitoring our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

17.   Business Combinations
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, we completed the acquisition of two consolidated office properties, thereby adding a total of 349,000 square feet of GLA to our consolidated property portfolio. The aggregate purchase price including closing costs of the properties was $52,698,000, of which $44,000,000 was financed with mortgage debt. Our results of operations include the combined results of Four Resource Square from March 7, 2007 (date of acquisition) through December 31, 2007 and The Sevens Building from October 25, 2007 (date of acquisition) through December 31, 2007.
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, we allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, including the allocation of the intangibles associated with the in-place leases considering the following factors: lease origination costs and tenant relationships; on the acquisition of Four Resources and The Sevens Building, we also recorded lease intangible liabilities related to the acquired below market leases. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

In addition, we sold two consolidated properties during the year ended 2007 and sold one land parcel as discussed in Note 3, Investments in Real Estate.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, we completed the acquisition of two consolidated office properties, thereby adding a total of 283,000 square feet of GLA to our consolidated property portfolio. The aggregate purchase price including closing costs of the properties was $26,458,000, of which $0 was financed with mortgage debt. Our results of operations include the combined results of 901 Civic Center Drive from April 24, 2006 (date of acquisition) through December 31, 2006 and Tiffany Square from November 15, 2006 (date of acquisition) through December 31, 2006.
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, we allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, including the allocation of the intangibles associated with the in-place leases considering the following factors: lease origination costs and tenant relationships; on the acquisition of 901 Civic Center Drive, we also recorded lease intangible liabilities related to the acquired below market leases.

In addition, we acquired an unconsolidated property and sold two consolidated properties during the year ended 2006. Two consolidated properties were listed for sale at the end of December 31, 2006 as discussed in Note 3, Investments in Real Estate.
 
Assuming all of the 2007 and 2006 acquisitions and dispositions had occurred on January 1, 2006, pro forma revenues, net loss and net loss per basic and diluted unit would have been $11,103,000, $(8,845,000) and $(887.16), respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007; and $10,674,000, $(7,200,000) and $(721.73), respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been obtained had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results.
 
18.   Subsequent Events
 
Rental Income
 
On January 25, 2008, the property manager of our Tiffany Square property located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was notified by PRC, LLC, or PRC, Tiffany Square’s largest tenant, that PRC had filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or the Bankruptcy Code. PRC is a party to a lease agreement that terminates on May 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2007, PRC represents 69.2% of the Tiffany Square property’s rental revenue and 9.6% of the total rental revenue of NNN 2003 Value Fund, LLC.
 
PRC has reiterated to our property manager that its filing for protection under Chapter 11 is for reorganization, and not liquidation, and it is still conducting business. Pursuant to sections 365(b)(2) and 365(e)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the act of filing for bankruptcy does not constitute a remediable default under a lease agreement. As of March 31, 2008, PRC has made all payments due under its lease agreement. In the event of a company’s default for non-payment under a lease, the Bankruptcy Code generally limits creditors to pursue monetary damages under the Bankruptcy Code’s distribution scheme. In such a case, to recover possession of their leased space, creditors generally must first obtain relief from the bankruptcy court before exercising their rights under state law.
 
Mortgage Loans Payable and Other Debt
 
Executive Center
 
On February 28, 2008, we exercised a second six month extension option on our mortgage loan at the Executive Center property extending the maturity date to October 1, 2008. The mortgage loan originally matured on October 1, 2007. The outstanding principal balance of this mortgage loan was $5,000,000 as of December 31, 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
901 Civic Center
 
As previously disclosed in our September 30, 2007 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, LaSalle Bank National Association, the lender for our secured loan on our 901 Civic Center property has waived the imputed debt service coverage ratio, actual debt service coverage ratio and combined debt service coverage ratio, or collectively the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio, requirements for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007. The outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan was $10,927,000 as of December 31, 2007. We currently anticipate that we will not be in compliance with the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirements for the quarter ending March 31, 2008. If we are unable to obtain a waiver from the lender for our non-compliance or pay down the loan by the amount required to comply with the applicable Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the lender may declare us in default of the loan agreement. An event of default could result in a material adverse affect on our operating activities and cash flow by: (i) allowing the lender to declare the entire principal balance of the loan as of March 31, 2008 of $11,157,000 and all accrued interest immediately due and payable; (ii) allowing the lender to foreclose on the property; (iii) allowing the lender to seize the income generated by the property; (iv) reducing our current and long-term liquidity; (v) hindering our ability to negotiate future loan transactions on favorable terms; or (vi) affecting our ability to pay distributions or reducing the amount of distributions paid to our unit holders.
