circumstances on which any such statement is based.
The
"Company" means Bresler & Reiner, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and one or more of its subsidiaries and affiliates, and, as the context may require, Bresler &
Reiner, Inc. only.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Our Company
Bresler & Reiner, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that for over 40 years has been primarily engaged in the ownership of commercial, residential and
hospitality properties and in the development of commercial and residential buildings and land.
We
engage in real estate activities in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Houston, Texas; Washington, D.C.; Wilmington, Delaware; Baltimore, Maryland; Maryland and Delaware Eastern Shore; and Orlando and
Tampa, Florida, metropolitan areas. We are not involved in any operations outside of the United States of America.
Our Strategy
Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted investment returns through ownership of operating properties and participation in development projects.
Operating Properties
To
achieve our goal with regards to operating properties, we employ the following strategy:
-
-
Target Properties that Have Stable Cash Flows and Present Upside Potential.
We seek to
acquire well located properties that have stable cash flows and also present upside potential that may result from valued added improvements, enhanced tenant services and strong management. We view
existing vacancies or near-term lease expirations as opportunities to increase rental revenue.
-
-
Employ Successful Bidding and Due Diligence Techniques.
Our strong local relationships
and effective due diligence allows us to make an informed offer based on a thorough evaluation of the property and its potential. We consider such factors as:
-
-
economic
and demographic conditions in the property's local and regional market;
-
-
the
location, age, occupancy and rental rates of competing properties;
-
-
the
location, age, construction quality and design of the property;
-
-
the
current and projected cash flow of the property in its current condition;
-
-
the
potential to increase cash flow through moderate renovation and enhanced tenant service;
-
-
the
terms of existing debt on the property and the availability of new financing on favorable terms;
1
-
-
the
terms of tenant leases, including the relationship between the property's current rents and market rents and the ability to increase rents upon lease rollover; and
-
-
the
property's current expense structure and the potential to increase operating margins;
-
-
Engage Third Party Property Managers and Leasing Agents.
We use third-party property
managers and leasing agents who have a strong presence in the applicable local market to handle day-to-day operations and leasing activity of the properties. We believe
property management and leasing is local in nature and that managers and leasing agents are an integral part of the property's success. We hire property managers and leasing agents who embrace the
idea of building a collaborative relationship with us, are highly motivated, offer value-added services and have solid relationships with high quality, cost-effective vendors. By
clustering our properties, we are able to provide onsite property maintenance services that are both cost effective and better suited to respond to tenant requests in a timely manner, thereby
increasing tenant loyalty and lowering tenant turnover costs.
-
-
Employ Asset Management and Oversight.
We engage in rigorous oversight and asset
management of our properties. We make regular on-site visits, touring the properties and meeting with the property managers and leasing agents. We work with our property managers to
identify revenue generation and expense reduction opportunities. We establish internal controls to ensure compliance with our operating, accounting and reporting requirements. We approve each
property's long and short-term capital replacement plans and annual operating budgets and review monthly operating and leasing reports for each property.
Development Properties
We
employ the following strategy to achieve our goals with respect to development projects:
-
-
Due Diligence Techniques.
We thoroughly evaluate a development project's potential for
generating strong risk-adjusted returns by considering such factors as:
-
-
the
highest and best use for the project;
-
-
the
economic and demographic conditions in the project's local and regional market;
-
-
competition
from comparable projects;
-
-
the
projected cash flow of the project;
-
-
potential
risk-adjusted returns on our investment;
-
-
development
risks including cost overruns and delays; and
-
-
interest-rate
risk.
-
-
Partner with Developers.
We partner with reputable local, regional and national
developers who have expert knowledge of their markets and strong relationships with general contractors and service providers. The agreements with our joint venture partners generally provide for a
distribution waterfall that provides us with a preferred return on our investment as well as incentives to our partners to maximize returns on the project.
Selling Properties
We
acquire operating properties as a long term investment, and we pursue our development properties to complete the development process. However, we continually evaluate whether we should continue to
hold properties or to dispose of them. In evaluating whether to dispose of a property we consider the amount of control we exert over the ownership entity, whether the property fits with our overall
strategy, and whether re-deployment opportunities for the sale proceeds offer greater returns than can be achieved through continuing to own and operate the existing property.
Prudent Financing
We
employ mortgage debt in order to enhance our returns on invested capital. We generally place 10-year, fixed-rate mortgage debt that amortizes over a 30 year period on
our operating properties. In certain instances we enter into master lease agreements or provide loan guarantees in order to maximize the benefits of leverage. At other times we prepay existing
mortgage debt in order to place more favorable debt. While under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") the cost and other penalties associated with such
prepayments adversely affect our earnings in the year in which they occur, we proceed with such prepayments after considering
2
among
other things, whether the benefits to be gained over the course of the loan from the new leverage outweigh the costs incurred in the current year on a net present value basis.
Our Competitive Strengths
To employ our strategy we utilize our competitive strengths which include:
-
-
Experienced Management.
Our management team has extensive experience acquiring,
financing, developing, repositioning and selling real estate. The co-founders of the Company are active members of the Board.
-
-
Network of Industry Contacts and Collaborative Relationships.
Our management team has
developed a broad network of contacts that include property owners, developers, lenders, brokers, property managers and leasing agents.
-
-
Growth Oriented Capital Structure.
Our strong liquidity position has provided us with
flexibility in structuring transactions and allowed us to react quickly to investment opportunities.
Financial Information about Business Segments
We operate in six reportable business segments: Commercial Rental Property; Residential Rental Property; Hospitality Property; Developed and Undeveloped Land sales; Commercial
and Residential Condominiums; and Commercial Building and Residential Apartment Development. For additional information about these segments see Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 15 of this report and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 of Part II of this report.
Narrative Description of the Business
The following is a brief description of each of our reportable business segments:
Commercial Rental Property
This
segment includes the rental income derived by commercial properties from the leasing of office and industrial space and other related revenue sources. Commercial leases generally provide for a
fixed monthly rental over terms that range from three to 10 years. At December 31, 2007 we owned, or had an ownership interest in, 49 commercial office and flex warehouse buildings
containing approximately 3,928,000 square feet of space. The properties are located in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Houston, Texas; Washington, D.C. and Wilmington, Delaware metropolitan areas.
Also
included in this segment is income generated from management and leasing activities associated with our 50% ownership interest in Redwood Commercial Management, LLC (Redwood), a commercial
management company. Redwood manages approximately 1,050,000 square feet of commercial office space, approximately 559,000 square feet of which are owned by entities which we control.
Residential Rental Property
This
segment includes the rental income derived by residential properties from the leasing of apartment units and other related revenue sources. Apartment leases generally provide for a fixed monthly
rental over a one-year term. At December 31, 2007, we owned, or had an ownership interest in, five residential properties containing a total of 1,550 apartment units. The properties
are located in the Orlando and Tampa, Florida and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania metropolitan areas.
Hospitality Property
This
segment includes revenue and income generated from services provided at two hotel properties, one of which we sold in February 2007. The remaining property which has 151 rooms is located in Camp
Springs, Maryland and bears the Quality Inn brand.
Developed and Undeveloped Land
This
segment primarily includes the costs associated with land held for investments, revenues and costs associated with the development and sale of land parcels and lots as part of residential
subdivisions located on the Maryland and Delaware Eastern Shore
3
Commercial and Residential Condominiums
This
segment primarily includes the revenues and costs associated with the development and sale of commercial and residential condominiums. This activity is conducted in the Washington, DC and
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania metropolitan markets and the Maryland Eastern Shore.
Development of Rental Properties
This
segment primarily includes the development and construction of commercial and residential buildings that will be leased to tenants upon completion. Costs associated with this segment are
capitalized until completion, at which time the assets are placed in service and transferred to either the residential or commercial rental property segment. This activity is conducted in the
Washington, DC and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania metropolitan markets.
Other Information
Competition
We
operate in highly competitive marketplaces in virtually all aspects of our real estate activities:
-
-
During
the acquisition process we compete against other buyers of real estate including both public and private real estate investment trusts, real estate development
companies, investment firms, investment funds and financial institutions. We compete primarily based on offer prices and the ability to fund the acquisition and close the transaction in a timely
manner. This competition may reduce the availability of properties at prices that meet our targeted rates of return on invested capital or may require us to reduce our targeted rates of return.
-
-
We
compete for tenants at our properties primarily based on rental rates, concessions, location and amenities. An oversupply of real property created by other developers and
owners could hinder our ability to maintain high occupancy levels or could require that we reduce rents or offer significant concessions. Such situations could materially and adversely affect our
results of operations and cash flows.
-
-
We
compete for sales of our condominium projects based on price, location and amenities. Increased supply of condominium units could affect the prices at which we can sell
these projects, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations and cash flows.
Employees
On
December 31, 2007, we had 27 full-time employees, all of whom were located at our corporate offices in Rockville, Maryland, working in such areas as finance, accounting, asset
management and internal audit. We believe that our relations with our employees are good. The on-site personnel engaged in the day-to-day operations and the
development activities of properties are employees or sub-contactors of the management companies or developers contracted to operate or develop such properties.
Market Concentrations
The
commercial properties we owned at December 31, 2007 are concentrated in both the Mid-Atlantic region of the country, and the Houston, Texas metropolitan market. Our residential
apartment properties are primarily concentrated in the Central Florida area. Our development projects are located in the Washington, D.C., Maryland and Delaware Eastern Shore, and Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania metropolitan areas. No single tenant represents more than 10% of our total revenues.
Seasonality
Our
commercial properties are unaffected by seasonality. There are limited seasonal impacts on results at residential properties with slightly lower occupancy during the months of December and
January. Sales of residential condominiums are affected by seasonality with fewer sales in the winter months. Sales of developed land are not affected by seasonality since the sales contracts with the
homebuilders incorporate structured take-down of lots.
Access to Company Information
We
electronically file our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all exhibits and

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risk Factors That May Affect Our Future Business Results
We face a number of material risks and uncertainties in our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that the risks and uncertainties described below are the material risks that we face. Any investor in our securities should carefully consider the risks described below.
We are subject to risks associated with investments in real estate.
The value of and our income from our properties may decline due to
factors that adversely affect real estate generally and those that are specific to our properties. General factors that may adversely affect our real estate portfolios include:
-
-
increases
in interest rates;
-
-
a
general tightening of the availability of credit;
-
-
a
decline in the economic conditions in one or more of our primary markets;
-
-
an
increase in competition for tenants and customers or a decrease in demand by tenants and customers; and
-
-
an
increase in supply of our property types in our primary markets.
In
addition, there are factors that may adversely affect the value of, and our income from, specific properties, including:
-
-
adverse
changes in the perceptions of prospective tenants or purchasers of the attractiveness of the property;
-
-
our
inability to collect rent or other receivables;
-
-
an
increase in operating costs; and
-
-
introduction
of a competitor's property in or in close proximity to one of our current markets.
The
occurrence of one or more of the above risks could result in a significant reduction in the net operating income generated by these properties and we could lose some or all of our investments in
those properties.
We may not be able to recover increased property maintenance costs through rent increases.
Our properties are subject to increases in
operating expenses. Certain commercial tenants are obligated to pay a portion of the escalating operating costs. In addition, certain tenants are subject to rent escalations for cost of living
increases. However, we may not be able to increase revenues enough to offset these increased expenses.
Various factors could adversely affect development of new projects.
Our development projects are subject to significant risks relating to
our ability to complete our projects on time and on budget. Factors that may result in a development project exceeding budget or being prevented from completion include:
-
-
an
inability to secure sufficient financing on favorable terms, including an inability to refinance construction loans;
-
-
construction
delays or cost overruns, either of which may increase project development costs;
-
-
an
increase in commodity costs;
-
-
an
inability to obtain zoning, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations; and
-
-
failure
to achieve or sustain anticipated occupancy or sales levels.
If
any of these occur, we may not achieve our projected returns on properties under development and we could lose some or all of our investments in those properties. In the past, we have elected not
to proceed with specific development projects, and we anticipate that this may occur again from time to time in the future.
5
The construction of real estate projects entails unique risks, including risks that the project will fail to conform to building plans, specifications and timetables. These failures could be caused by
strikes, weather, government regulations and other conditions beyond our control. In addition, we may become liable for injuries and accidents occurring during the construction process that are not
insured.
In
the construction of new projects, we may guarantee the lender of the construction loan the lien-free completion of the project. This guaranty is recourse to us and places the risk of
construction delays and cost overruns on us. This type of guaranty is released upon completion of the project. Furthermore, we typically guarantee a portion of project indebtedness. We may have to
make significant expenditures in the future in order to comply with our guaranty obligations.
We face risks associated with property acquisitions.
We have in the past acquired properties and portfolios of properties that have
increased our size and altered our capital structure. Although we believe that the acquisitions that we have completed in the past and that we expect to undertake in the future have and will enhance
our future financial performance, the success of such transactions is subject to a number of factors, including the risk that:
-
-
we
may not be able to obtain financing for acquisitions on favorable terms;
-
-
acquired
properties may fail to perform as expected; and
-
-
we
may not be able to manage new properties in a way that allows us to realize cost savings and synergies.
We may be unable to sell properties at fair value to avoid losses or to reposition our portfolio.
Because real estate investments are
relatively illiquid, we may be unable to dispose of underperforming properties and may be unable to reposition our portfolio in response to changes in regional or local real estate markets. As a
result, we may incur operating losses from some of our properties and may have to write down the value of some properties due to
impairment. In addition, we may be forced to sell properties during unfavorable market conditions and therefore not realize their fair market value.
We face significant competition from other real estate developers.
We compete with real estate developers, operators and institutions for
tenants and acquisition and development opportunities. Some of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources than we do. Such competition may reduce the number of suitable
investment opportunities offered to us, may interfere with our ability to attract and retain tenants and may increase vacancies, which could result in increased supply and lower market rental rates.
In addition, some of our competitors may be willing to make space available at lower prices than available space in our properties.
We may be unable to renew expiring leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space on a timely basis or on comparable or better
terms.
Current tenants may not renew their leases upon the expiration of their terms, or we may not be able to locate qualified replacement tenants under
acceptable terms.
We
cannot assure you that our tenants will not default on their leases and fail to make rental payments to us. Moreover, we may be unable to locate a replacement tenant in a timely manner or on
comparable or better terms if a tenant defaults on its lease. The loss of rental revenues from a number of our tenants and our inability to replace such tenants may adversely affect our profitability
and our ability to meet our financial obligations.
Increased interest rates would raise our cost of capital and could affect our ability to obtain new mortgage debt or refinance existing mortgage
debt.
An increase in interest rates would increase our cost of capital, which may affect our ability to obtain new mortgage debt or to refinance existing mortgage
debt and would limit our ability to make future acquisitions. Higher interest rates upon refinancing mortgage debt would decrease cash flow from operations, negatively impacting our earnings and
lowering our cash returns as a percentage of our invested equity. In addition, a rise in interest rates could raise the cost of our variable rate debt in excess of increased earnings on our
short-term investments, thereby negatively impacting our earnings. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts that third parties are willing to pay for our
assets, thereby limiting our ability to alter our portfolio promptly in relation to economic or other conditions.
We may have difficulty obtaining financing in tight credit markets.
The commercial real estate credit markets are currently more
restrictive due to the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and the large inventory of unsold mortgage backed securities in the market. This has resulted in lenders and investors decreasing
the availability and increasing the cost of debt financing. If this continues, we may not be able to obtain debt financing in the future on favorable terms, or at all. If principal payments due at
maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or repaid with proceeds
6
from
other sources, such as the proceeds of sales of assets or new equity securities, cash flow will not be sufficient to repay all maturing debt in years when significant "balloon" payments come due.
Our debt level may impair our ability to pursue our business plan.
Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by our debt
agreements creates risks, including the following:
-
-
our
cash flow may be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest;
-
-
we
may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms;
-
-
we
may be unable to refinance some or all of our indebtedness, including mortgage debt, or any refinancing may not be on terms as favorable as those of the existing
indebtedness;
-
-
we
may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on disadvantageous terms;
-
-
any
default in payment of our indebtedness or violation of any covenants in our loan documents could result in acceleration of those obligations and possible loss of
property to foreclosure; and
-
-
our
default under any one of our mortgage loans with cross default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness and loss of properties securing the
indebtedness.
If
the economic performance of any of our properties declines, our ability to make debt service payments could be adversely affected. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and
we are unable to meet mortgage payments, we may lose that property to lender foreclosure.
The
mortgage debt we have incurred for properties we acquired during the last three years has ranged between 80% and 90% of the purchase price of these properties. We do not have a policy limiting the
amount of debt that we may incur. Furthermore, our bylaws do not limit the amount or percentage of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our management and board of directors have discretion to
increase the amount of our outstanding debt at any time without approval by our stockholders. Changes in our debt policies could expose us to greater credit risk, interest rate risk or result in a
more leveraged balance sheet. If we become highly leveraged, then the resulting increase in debt service could adversely affect our ability to make payments on our outstanding indebtedness and may
harm our financial condition.
Weaker economic conditions in the markets in which our properties are located could adversely affect our financial condition.
Our
properties are located in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Houston, Texas; Washington, D.C.; Wilmington, Delaware; Baltimore, Maryland; Maryland and Delaware Eastern Shore; and Orlando, and Tampa,
Florida, metropolitan areas. A decline in the economies of one or more of our core real estate markets, or in the U.S. economy as a whole, could adversely affect our financial position, results of
operations and cash flow.
The
residential homebuilding industry in particular is sensitive to changes in economic conditions and other factors, such as the level of employment, consumer confidence, consumer income,
availability of financing, and interest rate
levels. Adverse changes in any of these conditions in the markets where we operate or in the US economy as a whole, could decrease demand and pricing for our condominiums and developed lots.
Our insurance may not be adequate to cover losses, including those that result from environmental damage or terrorist acts.
We carry
comprehensive general liability, property, flood, earthquake and rental loss insurance with respect to our properties within insured limits and policy specifications that we believe are customary for
similar properties. There are specific types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses from wars, biological, chemical or radioactive contamination, terrorism or earthquakes, for
which we may not have adequate insurance coverage or, in our judgment, for which we cannot obtain insurance at a reasonable cost.
Should
an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, including any loss resulting from floods or other natural disasters, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have
invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Nevertheless, we might remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property, even if the property is irreparably damaged. We are also subject to additional
wind damage underwriting premiums for certain properties. It is also possible that third-party insurance carriers will not be able to maintain reinsurance sufficient to cover any losses that may be
incurred.
The costs of compliance with or liabilities under environmental laws may adversely affect our operating results.
Our operating expenses
could be higher than anticipated due to the cost of complying with existing or future environmental
7
laws
and regulations. As an owner of real property, we can be liable for environmental contamination created by the presence or discharge of hazardous substances on the property, regardless of:
-
-
our
lack of knowledge of the contamination;
-
-
the
timing of the contamination;
-
-
the
cause of the contamination; or
-
-
the
party responsible for the contamination of the property.
There may be environmental problems associated with our properties of which we are unaware.
We could be held liable for the environmental
costs associated with the release of regulated substances or related claims, whether by us, our tenants, former owners or tenants of the affected property or others. The presence of hazardous
substances on a
property could result in personal injury or other claims by private parties. Such claims could result in costs or liabilities that could exceed the value of that property. If we become aware of any
environmental problems, we take steps to remediate them.
Although
our leases generally require our tenants to operate in compliance with all applicable laws and to indemnify us against any environmental liabilities arising from a tenant's activities on the
property, we could nonetheless be subject to strict liability by virtue of our ownership interest for environmental liabilities created by our tenants and we cannot be sure that our tenants would
satisfy their indemnification obligations under the applicable lease.
We are controlled by the Bresler and Reiner families, whose interests may differ from those of other shareholders.
As of the date of this
filing, members of the Bresler and Reiner families, which include members of our current board of directors and executive officers, own over 70% of our common stock. As a result of their ownership,
these family members have the ability to elect our board of directors and to control our management and policies. Generally, they may also determine, without the consent of our other shareholders, the
outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and prevent
or cause a change in control.
If our property managers or leasing agents default on their obligations, operating results from affected properties could suffer and we may have difficulty finding
replacements.
We outsource property management and leasing of our properties to local property managers and leasing agents, who perform all
day-to-day property management and leasing functions for our properties. Although we oversee our property managers and leasing agents, they may not satisfy their obligations
under our agreements. If they fail to do so, our relationships with our tenants could be damaged or we could incur liabilities from loss or injury at a property. In either case our operating results
and financial condition could be negatively affected. If a property manager or leasing agent breaches its agreement with us, we will seek to replace them. However, we may not be able to obtain
suitable replacements within the relevant market. In addition, as we enter a new market we will seek to engage local third-party property managers, leasing agents and other service providers. However,
we may not be able to identify such service providers who meet our standards and who are capable of complying with our property management and leasing guidelines.
Property ownership through joint ventures may limit our ability to act exclusively in our interests.
Several of our properties are owned
through joint ventures with third parties. We could become engaged in a dispute with one or more of our joint venture partners that might affect our ability to operate a jointly-owned property.
Moreover, our joint venture partners may have business objectives that are inconsistent with ours or may have competing interests that could create conflicts of interest. If the objectives of our
joint venture partners are inconsistent with ours, we may not be able to act exclusively in our interests.
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make unanticipated expenditures that adversely affect our financial
condition.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled
persons. We believe our properties substantially comply with present requirements of the ADA. However, if found non-compliant we would have to incur additional costs to bring the property
into compliance.

is currently being held for investment
Waterfront Complex
Beginning in 1964, we developed a shopping-office center ("Waterfront Complex") in Washington, D.C., containing approximately 1,144,000 square feet of office, retail and
storage space. These improvements were constructed on ground leased from The District of Columbia Redevelopment Land Agency ("RLA") for a term expiring in 2058 with an option to extend for an
additional 20 years.
We
assigned our interests in the Waterfront Complex to B&R Waterfront Properties, LLC ("BRW"). Prior to 2002, the United States General Services Administration ("GSA") leased approximately
955,000 square feet of space in the Waterfront Complex under a thirty year lease agreement. In September 2002 the GSA lease expired and was not subsequently renewed.
In
October 2002, BRW formed a joint venture, called Waterfront Associates LLC ("WALLC"), with K/FCE Investment LLC ("K/FCE"), a joint venture between The Kaempfer Company, Inc.
and Forest City Enterprises, Inc., to
11
redevelop
and reposition the Waterfront Complex. BRW contributed the leasehold improvements relating to the Waterfront Complex to WALLC. Affiliates of K/FCE are marketing, leasing, redeveloping, and
managing the complex. Based on the terms of the agreement K/FCE committed to contribute the first $25,000,000 of redevelopment funds and has the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase its
ownership in the joint venture up to 50% by the making of capital contributions or by causing the joint venture to make capital distributions. K/FCE, as the managing member of WALLC, has sole
responsibility for the management, control, and operation of the WALLC, as well as for the formulation and execution of its business and investment policy.
Between
2002 and 2006 WALLC sought to obtain the necessary Planned Unit Development ("PUD") approvals and find a large tenant for the project.
In
November 2006, WALLC entered into a Land Disposition and Development Agreement ("LDDA") with RLA Revitalization Corporation ("RLARC"), a subsidiary of the RLA. Based on the LDDA, the existing
ground lease will be extinguished and a fee simple ownership interest for most of the site will be conveyed to WALLC. In return, RLARC will retain fee simple ownership in a portion of the site that is
sufficient to develop a 400,000 square foot mixed-use residential building. Based on the agreement, which is subject to several contingencies including obtaining the necessary PUD
approvals, WALLC has committed to develop 2,166,000 square feet of commercial office, retail and residential space at the Waterfront Complex.
In
November 2006, WALLC entered into two lease agreements with agencies of the District of Columbia for the lease of a total of 500,000 square feet of office space in two new commercial office
buildings to be constructed by WALLC at the Waterfront Complex. The leases, which are subject to several approval and development contingencies, have 15 year terms and include rental payments
of $28.40 per square foot on a triple-net basis. During 2007 work began on demolishing the existing structure. Development of the office buildings is anticipated to commence in 2008.
In
March 2007, in accordance with an amended and restated operating agreement of WALLC entered into the same month, K/FCE exercised its right to increase its ownership interest in the joint venture to
50% by making a $25,000,000 contribution to WALLC (the "equalization contribution") with such amount distributed to BRW. The equalization contribution is in addition to $23,000,000 that K/FCE has
contributed to WALLC.
Major Tenants
There are no tenants or recurring customers whose revenues are 10% or more of our total operating revenues from continuing operations.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
No information is required to be disclosed under this item.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document.
Overview
We are a real estate owner and developer with a portfolio that includes commercial, residential and hospitality properties as well as undeveloped and developed land. We earn
our revenues and profits primarily from leasing commercial office space and residential apartment units; providing services at our hospitality properties; selling residential and commercial properties
and selling both developed and undeveloped land.
In
growing our portfolio of real estate assets over the last several years we have applied a dual investment approach, investing in both operating commercial and residential properties that generate
immediate returns that are relatively stable and predictable and investing in development projects where returns are generally higher but are less immediate and predictable. Through diversifying our
real estate holdings in this way we have reduced the risks associated with the cyclical nature of the real estate industry. Building a strong base of commercial and residential properties has enabled
us to assume the higher risks associated with investing in development projects. Income generated from our income producing commercial and residential properties, together with the ability to generate
capital through the sale or refinancing of these properties, has reduced our dependency on sales of development projects to fund payments on development loans. This has allowed us to better address
the challenges associated with the current downturn in the housing market and afforded us the opportunity to wait for the market to turn around.
14
Commercial and Residential Properties
In the first half of 2007 we continued growing our portfolio of commercial and residential properties with the acquisition of three commercial office buildings and the
development of one commercial office building, containing a total of 434,000 square feet of office space and the acquisition of one residential apartment community containing 366 apartment units. The
total purchase price and development cost of these properties was approximately $80,745,000.
In
2007 we also selectively sold properties, selling one commercial office building, a hospitality property and our interests in both a commercial office building and a residential property. The total
sales price of these dispositions was approximately $38,535,000.
As
a result of this activity at December 31, 2007 we owned or had ownership interests in 49 commercial office buildings containing approximately 3,928,000 square feet of primarily office space
and five residential apartment properties containing 1,550 apartment units.
Despite
the worsening economy our commercial and residential apartment properties in general performed well in 2007. Occupancy rates at our residential properties were very strong, while occupancy
rates at our commercial office buildings located in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Washington DC metropolitan areas were on the whole reasonably strong. We did experience some challenges at
several of our properties located in Houston, Texas, which experienced lower occupancy rates and as a result negative operating results.
While
the commercial property downturn is not expected to be as steep as the current slump in the housing market, we still face the challenge over the course of the year of renewing existing leases
and finding new tenants for unleased space at profitable rental rates in a difficult economic environment.
Development Projects
We experienced significant challenges at our development projects in 2007. The homebuilding industry was impacted by lack of consumer confidence and large supplies of resale
and new home inventories which resulted in an industry-wide slowdown in the housing market. This slowdown was compounded by the lack of available credit resulting from the
sub-prime credit crisis. As a result of these factors, we have experienced significant decreases in our revenues and profitability.
At
our residential condominium projects, Laguna Vista and 400 S. Philadelphia Ave., located on the Maryland Eastern Shore we were required to significantly reduce the price of the units in order to
generate sales activity. In addition, the homebuilders at two of our land development projects, Seaside and Crisfield located on the Maryland and Delaware Eastern Shore defaulted under their
agreements with us to purchase land that we have developed. As result of these lower sales prices and homebuilder defaults we have recorded impairment charges at Seaside, Crisfield, 400 S.
Philadelphia and Laguna Vista of $2,222,000, $2,626,000, $2,086,000 and $1,206,000, respectively to reduce the carrying amount of the units and lots we deemed to be developed for sale to their
estimated fair values less costs to sell. These impairment charges have been partially offset by forfeiture of the homebuilder's deposits for Seaside and Crisfield of $4,036,000 and $2,141,000,
respectively.
Additionally,
our sales contract with a homebuilder at another land development project, Red Mill Pond was restructured with a reduction in prices and a delay of the dates at which takedowns occur.
To
meet our obligations under the loans secured by the land development projects we paid down $10,719,000 of principal in 2007 from cash on hand.
With
the soft housing market and the tight credit market expected to continue this year we anticipate further challenges at our development projects. We will continue to competitively price our
condominium units at Laguna Vista and 400 S. Philadelphia to generate sales. We do not anticipate selling any of the remaining 295 lots at Seaside and Crisfield in the near term. Instead we will most
likely hold on to these lots until the market strengthens. This will require us to make
principal payments under the existing loans for our land development projects of $15,216,000 in 2008 from existing cash on hand, cash generated from our operating properties and from sales of
condominium units at Symphony House, Sudley South, Laguna Vista and 400 S. Philadelphia.
Due
to the need to preserve our cash to fund debt payments on our development projects and the current turmoil in the credit markets we do not anticipate acquiring additional commercial or residential
properties this year.
15
Financing Activities
During 2007, we refinanced existing debt on nine of our operating properties, generating proceeds of approximately $35,000,000, net of defeasance costs and our minority
partner's share of proceeds. The new mortgage debt reflects 10-year maturities and for all but one of the loans a 5.7% fixed interest rate. Proceeds generated form the refinancing were
used to help fund acquisitions along with loan curtailment payments on debt secured by our land development projects, reflecting our strategy of realizing asset appreciation on our existing properties
to provide funds for these purposes.
The
discussion that follows is based primarily on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007
and 2006 and should be read with our consolidated financial statements. The ability to compare one period to another may be significantly affected by operating properties in the process of being
repositioned, acquisitions and dispositions of commercial and residential properties, development projects and the acquisition and subsequent partial sale of undeveloped commercial and residential
lots. Historical results set forth in our consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of our future financial position and results of our operations.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies.
Our accounting policies comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties. We have made best estimates and judgments of certain amounts
included in the financial statements. However, actual results could differ from these estimates and a change in the facts and circumstances of the underlying transactions could significantly change
the application of an accounting policy and the resulting financial statement impact. We have listed below those policies that we believe are critical and require the use of significant judgment in
their application.
Rental Property and Equipment.
Rental property and equipment is stated at cost. We use judgment in order to allocate the purchase price of
all acquired assets and assumed liabilities and assign useful lives to those assets that have finite lives. Tenant allowances incurred at the origination of a lease are deferred and amortized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method applied over the deemed useful life of depreciable
assets, generally 39 years for buildings and three to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Replacements and renovations that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and
depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Repairs, maintenance and minor improvements are expensed as incurred. The allocation of the purchase price to assets or assignment of useful lives will
affect the amount of depreciation expense recorded.
Upon
acquisitions of real estate, we assess the fair value of the acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above- and below-market leases and
acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and assumed liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141,
Business Combinations
("SFAS 141")
and SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
("SFAS 142") and allocate purchase price based on these assessments. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and
available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market conditions that may affect the
property.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 141, we record on our balance sheet the fair value of debt assumed in connection with our acquisitions. In order to calculate the fair value of assumed debt, we
discount the cash flows relating to the debt by an interest rate that is an estimate of the market rate of interest for a loan of that type, taking into account such factors as the cash flow generated
by the property, any guarantees of indebtedness, and the amount of debt relative to the property's fair value. The estimate of fair value of the assumed debt will affect our interest expense and the
carrying amount of the assumed debt on our balance sheet.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
, we evaluate the recoverability of
long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For long lived assets to be held and used, including
property under development that following completion is to be held and used, recoverability is measured based on net, undiscounted expected cash flows. Assets are considered to be impaired if the
undiscounted expected cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets. Impairment charges are recorded based upon the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value.
For long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale including development projects that are substantially completed and that are to be sold, we record impairment charges based on the
difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value.
16
The
use of different assumptions, result in different values at acquisition, initial allocations of purchase price and future impairment charges. The impact of our estimates in connection with
acquisitions and future impairment analysis could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
and FASB Interpretation No. 47,
Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations,
we recognize a liability for the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset-retirement
activities that are conditional on a future event if the amount can be reasonably estimated. The asset cost is increased by the value of the cost of the future conditional costs and depreciated over
the useful life of the respective asset. The amount recorded on our books related to the recognition of this liability could vary significantly depending on the assumptions used.
Cost of Real Estate Sales.
Homebuilding and land development costs are charged to the cost of the homes and land parcels sold under either
the specific identification method, where practicable, or relative sales value basis method. The relative sales value basis method requires us to estimate the total project revenue. An inaccurate
projection of total revenue or total project costs would affect the cost of sales recorded related to the sale of homes and developed land.
Investments in Joint Ventures.
For all investments not wholly-owned, we determine if the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Such
a determination includes, among other requirements that we evaluate whether the equity investment at risk is sufficient to allow the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
support from others. If the equity at risk is not sufficient then the entity is considered a VIE and is subject to consolidation based on the guidelines of FASB Interpretation No. 46R,
Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities
("FIN 46R"). If the equity at risk is sufficient, and various other conditions are met, then the
entity is not considered to be a VIE.
If
an investee of ours is a VIE under FIN 46R, we determine whether we are the primary beneficiary through being subject to a majority of the potential variability in gains or losses of the
VIE. If we are the primary beneficiary, then we consolidate our investment in the joint venture. If we are not the primary beneficiary, then we do not consolidate our investment.
Our
evaluation of the sufficiency of equity at risk and our determination of the primary beneficiary is based on subjective assessments that involve our estimating a number of possible future outcomes
of cash flows for the entity as well as the probability of each outcome occurring. This process includes our estimating future operating income and losses, taking into account industry trends, the
impact of macro economic forces, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. The evaluation of the sufficiency of equity of an entity and the determination of the primary
beneficiary will affect the presentation of that entity in our consolidated balance sheet and results of operations.
Deferred Charges and Other Assets.
Fees incurred in connection with obtaining financing are deferred and amortized as a part of interest
expense over the term of the related debt instrument on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. Lease commissions incurred to originate a lease are
deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.
Included
in Other Assets is the value of acquired in-place leases for purchased properties. In accordance with SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 we allocate a portion of the real
estate acquisition purchase price to acquired in-place leases based on the relative fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired. In order to determine the amount of the purchase
price to be allocated to the acquired leases, we develop assumptions regarding the relative value of the in-place leases when compared to the current market. Some of the judgments required
as part of this exercise include (1) determining the market rental rates of the acquired leases (2) estimating the market value of concessions (including rent concessions and tenant
improvement allowances) and leasing commissions to be paid on new leases (3) estimating an appropriate lease-up period and (4) applying an estimated risk-adjusted
discount rate to the existing tenant's leases. The amount allocated to in-place leases and the associated amortization of those leases could vary significantly depending on the assumptions
used.
Other Liabilities.
The application of FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"),
Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others
, requires us to recognize, upon the issuance of a guarantee, a liability for
the fair value of the obligation we assume. The calculation of the fair value of this obligation involves significant judgment. The liability recorded for such obligation on our balance sheet could
vary significantly depending on the assumptions used.

Material changes in assets include:
-
-
Rental
property and equipment, at cost, increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of three commercial properties and one residential property in 2007 at a total
acquisition cost of approximately $80,745,000. Additionally, we changed the classification of $11,805,000 of costs associated with the development of the 1150 Northbrook property from a development
project to rental property and equipment due to completion of the project.
-
-
Property
and land development decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of WALLC (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. As a result of the
deconsolidation, property and land development decreased by $38,807,000. The remainder of the decrease is primarily due to the classification change of the 1150 Northbrook property in addition to
sales at our Sudley South, Laguna Vista and 400 S. Philadelphia projects along with $8,140,000 of impairment charges recorded at our Seaside, Crisfield, Laguna Vista and 400 S. Philadelphia projects.
This decrease was partially offset by development activity at the Red Mill Pond, Crisfield, Seaside, and Sudley South projects totaling approximately $11,865,000.
-
-
Assets
held for sale decreased due to the sale of a hospitality property and a commercial office property. No assets were classified as held for sale at December 31,
2007.
-
-
Cash,
cash equivalents and investments decreased in total primarily due to cash used for repayments of loans on our land development projects, property acquisitions, capital
expenditures and leasing costs and the purchase of the equity interests in Trilon and West Office. This decrease in cash was offset primarily by cash proceeds received from mortgage loans refinanced
in 2007 along with the receipt of the WALLC equalization payment.
-
-
Investments
in joint ventures increased primarily due to the purchase of the equity interests in Trilon and West Office, totaling $29,203,000, deconsolidation of WALLC
causing an increase of $14,638,000, our share of equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $15,997,000 and additional equity invested in Venice Lofts, Holliday development and
Guildford development, totaling $9,175,000.
Material
changes in liabilities and shareholders' equity include:
-
-
Mortgage
and construction loans and other debt (including notes due to related parties) increased primarily as a result of the new mortgage loans obtained related to assets
acquired along with refinanced loans. This increase was partially offset by loan repayments principally on our development loans.
-
-
Minority
interest decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of WALLC causing a reduction of $19,988,000 and the purchase of the equity interests in Trilon and West
Office causing a reduction of $22,703,000, partially offset by our minority partner's share of income, totaling $16,636,000.

Development Sales.
Development sales revenue decreased by $16,698,000. In 2007, we recorded sales related to 14 residential
condominium units at 400 S. Philadelphia, one residential condominium unit at Laguna Vista, and 25,000 square feet of commercial condominium space at Sudley South (Buildings I and III). For 2006, we
recorded sales related to 40 residential lots at Seaside, six residential condominium units at Laguna Vista and 45,000 square feet of commercial condominium space at Sudley South (Building I).
The
cost of development sales decreased by $13,486,000 when compared to the same period in 2006, due to the decline in sales activity described above.
Commercial Rental Properties.
The $9,181,000 revenue increase in 2007 was primarily due to the operation of 17 commercial office properties
acquired in 2006 and 2007. Revenues from the properties that we owned for the full year in both 2007 and 2006 decreased by $1,277,000 due to lower occupancy from tenants vacating their spaces as their
leases matured.
Operating
expenses consist of direct operating costs of the properties, including property taxes and insurance, and exclude interest expense and depreciation expense. The $7,372,000 increase in 2007
was due to the operation of the additional commercial office properties acquired in 2007 and 2006. Operating expenses for properties that we owned for the full year in both 2007 and 2006 were
comparable.
The
increase of $3,206,000 in depreciation and amortization expense in 2007 was due to the additional properties acquired in 2007 and 2006.
Residential Rental Properties.
The increase of $5,600,000 in residential rental revenue in 2007 was primarily due to the revenues from the
Huntington at Sundance apartment complex that was acquired in September 2006 and the Westbury apartment complex that was acquired in January 2007. Revenues from the properties that we owned for the
full year in both 2007 and 2006 were comparable.
Operating
expenses consist of direct operating costs of the properties including property taxes and insurance, and exclude interest expense and depreciation expense. Operating expenses in 2007
increased by $4,345,000 when compared to the same period in 2006, due to operating expenses related to the newly acquired apartment communities and higher
19
insurance
rates. Operating expenses for properties that we owned for the full year in both 2007 and 2006 increased by $480,000 when compared to the prior year primarily due to increased insurance
costs and higher tenant turnover costs.
The
increase of $2,146,000 in depreciation and amortization expense in 2007 was due to the additional properties acquired in 2007 and 2006.
Hospitality Properties.
The decrease of $709,000 in hospitality revenue in 2007 was primarily due to the transition of the hotel from a
Holiday Inn to a Quality Inn in May 2007. Operating expenses, which consist of direct operating costs of the properties including property taxes and insurance and excluding interest expense and
depreciation expense, were comparable to the same period in the prior year.
Other Revenues.
Other revenues in 2007 includes income related to deposits that were forfeited by the homebuilders at the Seaside and
Crisfield development projects, upon the termination of their agreements, totaling $4,036,000 and $2,141,000, respectively.
General and Administrative Expense.
The $1,345,000 decrease in general and administrative expense in 2007 is primarily the result of a
$664,000 reduction in non-consummated acquisition costs, a $270,000 reduction in audit fees expensed (2006 audit fees expensed included $662,000 of 2005 audit fees paid in 2006) and a net
$2,154,000 decrease in the expense associated with our Stock Appreciation Rights Plan which was implemented in the first quarter of 2006. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of
$1,130,000 in salaries, wages and benefits due to increased personnel and a $540,000 increase in consulting and tax fees along with costs associated with Sarbanes Oxley compliance.
Loss on Impairment of Assets.
The $8,140,000 loss on impairment of assets recorded in 2007 relates to impairment charges for the Seaside,
Crisfield, 400 S. Philadelphia and Laguna Vista development projects, totaling $2,222,000, $2,626,000, $2,086,000 and $1,206,000 respectively to reduce the carrying value of these projects to their
estimated fair values less costs to sell. The $1,494,000 loss on impairment of assets recorded in 2006 relates to a reduction in the carrying value of the Laguna Vista development project to its
estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Interest Income.
The $1,108,000 increase in interest income in 2007 was primarily due to higher interest rates along with interest earned
on a note receivable executed at the end of 2006.
Interest Expense.
The increase in interest expense of $12,527,000 (including interest expense on loans from our related parties) in 2007 is
primarily due to the additional interest on debt obtained or assumed in connection with properties acquired in 2007 and 2006, together with interest expense related to the $30,000,000 of Trust
Preferred Securities issued in May 2006, the $46,850,000 in notes issued in connection with the purchase of the equity interests in Trilon and West Office as well as additional interest from debt
refinanced in 2007. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we capitalized interest of $2,341,000 and $2,235,000, respectively, related to our investment in development projects.
Debt Extinguishment Costs.
The $5,796,000 of costs incurred in 2007 relates to the defeasance of debt secured by the Victoria Place, Ft.
Hill, Sudley ABCD & Bank Buildings and Versar Center properties. The $1,047,000 of costs incurred in 2006 relates to the defeasance of debt secured by the Cross Keys property.
Gain on Sale of Investments in Joint Ventures.
The $22,933,000 gain on sale of investments in joint ventures in 2007 consists of an
$18,721,000 gain related to the Waterfront equalization payment (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements), a $2,820,000 gain on sale of our interest in the Madison Building and a
$1,392,000 gain on sale of our interest in Arbor Crest. The $18,285,000 gain in 2006 relates to the sale of our interest in 1925K Street.
Income from Investments in Joint Ventures.
The $15,001,000 increase in income from investments in joint ventures in 2007 is primarily due
to income of $16,038,000 related to sales recorded at the Symphony House development project in which Philadelphia Condo Investors, a 44% owned consolidated subsidiary of ours, has a 50% interest.
This increase was partially offset by a $412,000 loss related to Venice Lofts and no income in 2007 from 1925K Street and Washington Business Park Land, unconsolidated entities in which we sold our
interests in 2006.
Minority Interest.
Minority interest reflects our minority partner's share of profits and losses in joint ventures that we consolidate into
our condensed consolidated financial statements. The $15,624,000 increase in minority interest in 2007 is primarily due to the recognition of our partners' share of income related to the Waterfront
equalization payment (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements) totaling $8,612,000 along with our Philadelphia Condo Investors' partners' share of profits in the Symphony House
development project, totaling $9,378,000. This increase is partially offset by our minority partners' share of loan defeasance costs at Victoria Place, Fort Hill and Sudley Building D.
20
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes and Minority Interest.
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes and
minority interest in 2007 primarily reflects the gain on sale from the Inn at the Colonnade. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax and minority interest in 2006 reflects gains on sale of the
Divine Lorraine, a historic property in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and four commercial office buildings located in Baltimore, Maryland, partially offset by a $2,584,000 impairment loss related to the
1105 Market Street commercial property to reduce the carrying value to the property's fair value less costs to sell.
Funds From Operations
We consider Funds From Operations ("FFO") to be a meaningful measure of our performance and we evaluate management based on FFO. We provide FFO as a supplemental measure for
reviewing our operating performance, although FFO should be reviewed in conjunction with net income which remains the primary measure of performance. FFO is a recognized metric used extensively within
the real estate industry by operators of rental properties. Accounting for real estate assets using historical cost accounting under GAAP is based on the presumption of the value of real estate assets
diminishing predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results
that exclude historical cost depreciation to be useful in evaluating the operating performance of real estate companies. As a result, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") created the concept of FFO as a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that adjusts GAAP net income to exclude historical cost depreciation.
While
we are not a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), which is generally not subject to federal income tax, our real estate operations include large amounts of depreciable and amortizable real
estate assets and we compete against REITS. We therefore believe FFO to be a relevant measurement of our performance.
FFO
as defined by the NAREIT is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments
for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Our FFO measure
differs from NAREIT's definition in that we also exclude income tax expense related to property sales. The exclusion of income tax expense on property sales is consistent with the objective of
presenting comparative period operating performance. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from
operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, the FFO measure presented by us may not be calculated in the same manner as FFO measures of other real estate
companies and therefore may not necessarily be comparable. We believe that FFO provides relevant information about our operations and is useful, along with net income, for an understanding of our
operating activities.
We
have included in FFO for 2007 a $6,066,000 gain, net of taxes and minority interest related to our receipt of the WALLC equalization payment (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements). We have determined that this gain is attributable to the ground lease that we contributed to the venture. Since the ground lease is non-depreciable property, the associated
gain is included in FFO in accordance with our interpretation of NAREIT's guidelines.
Our
FFO was $13,350,000 in 2007, compared to $16,663,000 in 2006, a decrease of $3,313,000. This decrease is primarily due to fewer development sales and an increase in debt extinguishment costs and
interest expense as a result of debt refinancings which increased our overall mortgage balances. This decrease was partially offset by the receipt of the WALLC equalization payment, as described
above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General.
At December 31, 2007, our consolidated current cash and cash equivalents and investments that are principally
short-term totaled $49,124,000. This amount is available, subject to certain debt covenants requiring us to maintain a minimum liquidity of $30,000,000, for funding expenditures, and
required loan payments.
Short-Term Liquidity.
Our most material short-term liquidity requirements for the year ended December 31,
2008 relate to interest and scheduled principal payments on our outstanding mortgage debt and required payments on our development loans. Other short-term liquidity requirements include
capital improvements at our existing properties, recurring repair and maintenance necessary to adequately maintain our properties, tenant improvement allowance payments, lease commissions and general
and administrative expenses. We anticipate meeting these short-term liquidity requirements from the cash provided from our operating properties, sales of condominiums and from our
available cash on hand at December 31, 2007.
A
number of factors could affect our cash provided from our operating properties, including a change in occupancy levels and leasing rates and rent concessions offered by competitors. Additionally,
the continued slowdown in the housing market coupled with the tight credit markets could adversely affect sales of our condominium units.
Future Capital Requirements.
Our future capital requirements include funds necessary to pay scheduled debt maturities and capital
improvements and additional investment that could be required at our current development projects as a result of cost overruns. Our fixed-rate mortgage debt matures on average in nine
years, beginning in 2010. We anticipate meeting these liquidity requirements through debt refinancings, asset dispositions and available cash on hand. None of our mortgage loans mature in 2008,
allowing us to avoid having to refinance properties during this difficult credit environment.
If
we default on the payment of interest or principal in connection with an existing loan or violate any loan covenant, the lender may accelerate the maturity of the debt, requiring us to repay all
outstanding indebtedness along with any prepayment fees due. If we are unable to repay the debt, the lender may foreclose on any collateral for the loan.
Several
of our loans contain financial covenants, including requirements that we maintain a minimum liquidity of $30,000,000, a minimum net worth of $130,000,000, minimum annual funds from operations,
as defined, of $15,000,000 and several interest coverage ratios. We were not in compliance at December 31, 2007 with the net worth test related to our $30,000,000 issuance of Trust Preferred
Securities. The violation of this covenant is an event of default under these Securities. Should the related lender declare us in default and demand repayment in full we may be required to sell one or
more of our operating properties or our interest in one or more development projects to repay the related debt. This may require us to accept prices that are below the market value of these assets.
In
addition, we were not in compliance for the year ended December 31, 2007 with the FFO test related to loans with a total of $17,787,000 outstanding. The lender under these loans has waived
this covenant for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Operating Activities.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash used in operating activities was $9,780,000 Operating
activities includes funds used for property and land development totaling $3,599,000.
Investing Activities.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash used in investing activities totaled $35,817,000 primarily due
to the acquisition of three commercial office properties and one residential property, investments in joint ventures, development activity at our investment development projects and partially offset
by proceeds from asset sales and sales of our interest in joint ventures.
Financing Activities.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $54,372,000. This
primarily resulted from the placement of mortgage debt related to the acquisition of commercial office and residential properties and mortgage refinancings. This was partially offset by reductions in
cash as a result of loan principal payments, amounts distributed to our equity partners from joint venture entities that we consolidate into our consolidated financial statements and dividend
payments.
Excess
cash flow generated from our properties' operations and from distributions from joint ventures is typically invested in municipal obligations that are short-term in nature. These
investments are then liquidated as needed for our real estate acquisitions and curtailment payments on our development projects.

GUARANTIES
Devon Square
We have guarantied repayment of up to $21,350,000 of an acquisition and construction loan obtained by Devon Square.
The loan matures in August 2008. At December 31, 2007, the balance outstanding under the loan totaled $20,178,000. Funding of the guaranty would increase our equity participation in the
venture.
640 North Broad
In conjunction with the sale of 640 North Broad we guarantied a $6,000,000 loan obtained by the buyer and secured in part by a
$3,000,000 certificate of deposit that we purchased from the lender. We have recorded a liability of $300,000, our estimate of the fair value of this guaranty, which is included in other liabilities.
We have also deferred the gain associated with the sale of 640 North Broad due to the guaranty.
Guilford Properties
We have guarantied repayment of the entire loan balance outstanding under a $7,480,000 acquisition and development loan obtained by
Guilford Properties. Funding of the guaranty would increase our equity participation in the venture. The loan matures in 2009. At December 31, 2007, the balance outstanding under the loan
totaled $6,648,000
Holliday Properties
We have guarantied repayment of the entire loan balance outstanding under a $9,116,000 acquisition and development loan obtained by
Holliday Properties that matures in 2009. Funding of the guaranty would
increase our equity participation in the venture. At December 31, 2007, the balance outstanding under the loan totaled $4,786,000.
Waterfront
We have guarantied the reimbursement payment to a partner in WALLC of all costs they may incur under a completion guaranty they have provided

Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the Shareholders of Bresler & Reiner, Inc.
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bresler & Reiner, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule included as part of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule 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 Bresler & Reiner, Inc. at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

BRESLER & REINER, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
Bresler & Reiner, Inc. ("B&R" and, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, "we," the "Company" or "us") engages in the acquisition, development, and
ownership of commercial, residential and hospitality real estate in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Wilmington, Delaware; Delaware and Maryland Eastern Shore; Baltimore, Maryland; Washington, DC;
Houston, Texas; and the Tampa and Orlando, Florida, metropolitan areas.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of
business. As described in Note 8, we are currently in violation of a financial covenant related to one of our Trust Preferred Security Issuances totaling $30,000,000. Should the lender declare
us in default, and we are unable to obtain a waiver for noncompliance, we could be required to sell one or more of our operating properties or investments in development projects to repay the debt.
Such sales could result in our receiving less proceeds than we might receive in a more orderly sale environment. We are currently seeking a waiver for the noncompliance with this covenant, but, if we
are unsuccessful and an event of default is declared, management believes that we have adequate equity in readily marketable real estate that could be sold to repay the debt or otherwise cure the
default.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bresler & Reiner, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries, and entities which we control or, entities
that are required to be consolidated under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 46R,
Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entitities
("FIN 46R"). Entities which we do not control or entities that are not to be consolidated under FIN 46R and over whom we exercise significant influence
are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Real estate salesGains on sales of real estate and investments in joint ventures are recognized pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 66,
Accounting for Sales of Real Estate
. For condominium and land sales, revenues and cost of sales are recorded at the
time the sale of each unit or lot is closed and title and possession have been transferred to the buyer. Gains on sale of long-lived assets and investments in joint ventures are recognized
based on the full accrual method when all the criteria for such recognition as detailed in SFAS No. 66 have been met.
Rental
revenueRental revenue represents income arising from tenant leases. We recognize rental revenue in accordance with SFAS No. 13,
Accounting for
Leases
. SFAS No. 13 requires that revenue be recognized over the non-cancelable term of the related leases on a straight-line basis which
includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases. We commence rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space. Revenue arising from tenant leases
which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the respective property is recognized in the same periods as the expenses are incurred. We
recognize revenue related to expense recoveries from tenants based on the accrual method, which matches the timing of the recoveries with the underlying expense.
Hospitality
revenueWe recognize hospitality revenue as services are provided.
RENTAL PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Rental property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, improvement and leasing of real
estate are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. We believe that our leasing practices and agreements with the majority of our tenants provide that the leasehold
improvements we fund represent fixed assets that we own and control. We also believe that leases with such arrangements are properly accounted for as commencing at the completion of construction of
such assets.
Upon
acquisitions of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, including land, land improvements, buildings and improvements, furniture and fixtures and identifiable
intangibles such as above and below market leases, and acquired in-place leases in accordance with SFAS No. 141,
Business
Combinations
and SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(together "SFAS No. 141 and 142") and allocate
the purchase price based on these assessments. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and

capitalization
rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market conditions
that may affect the property.
Depreciation
is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally 39 years for buildings, 15 years for land
improvements and three to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant allowances and leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
related leases which approximate the useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense totaled $19,957,000 and $15,360,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
and FASB Interpretation No. 47,
Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations,
we recognize a liability for the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset-retirement
activities that are conditional on a future event if the amount can be reasonably estimated. The asset cost is increased by the value of the cost of the future conditional costs and depreciated over
the useful life of the respective asset. The amount recorded on our books related to the recognition of this liability could vary significantly depending on the assumptions used.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
, we evaluate the recoverability of
long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured based on net, undiscounted
expected cash flows. Assets are considered to be impaired if the undiscounted expected cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets. Impairment charges are recorded based upon the
difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value.
PROPERTY AND LAND DEVELOPMENT
Property and land development includes costs associated with the development and sale of land parcels and lots as part of residential subdivisions; undeveloped commercial land
sales; costs associated with the development and sale of commercial and residential condominiums; and costs associated with the development and construction of commercial and residential buildings
that will be leased to tenants upon completion. When construction commences, costs are recorded in property and land development where they are accumulated by project. Project costs included in
property and land development include materials and labor, capitalized interest and property taxes. As part of our construction and development activities, we capitalized $2,341,000 and $2,234,000 of
interest in 2007 and 2006 related to our investment basis in our development projects.
These
costs are charged to costs of homes and lots sold based on either the specific identification method or the relative sales value method, whichever is more appropriate, in accordance with SFAS
No. 67,
Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects
. For development projects that are substantially completed and
are to be sold, we review our accumulated costs to ensure that any costs in excess of fair value are charged to operations when identified. For development projects that are to be held and used we
measure recoverability based on net undiscounted cash flows, in accordance with SFAS No. 144. If the undiscounted cash flows are lower than the development costs then impairment charges are
recorded based upon costs in excess of net realizable value.
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
We account for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Accordingly, a long-lived asset is classified as held
for sale in the period in which management commits to a plan to sell the asset, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, an active program to locate a buyer has been
initiated and the asset is marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and the sale of the asset is probable within one year. Management believes that in general
these conditions are met once a purchase and sales agreement has been executed. Depreciation ceases when an asset is classified as held for sale. Assets held for sale are carried at the lower of
depreciated cost or fair value less cost to sell.
INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
For entities that are deemed to be variable interest entities ("VIEs"), as set forth in FIN 46R, we account for our investments based on a determination of the entity's
primary beneficiary. If we are the primary beneficiary through being subject to a majority of the potential variability in gains or losses of the VIE, then we consolidate our investment. If we are not
the primary beneficiary then we do not consolidate our investment, but account for it under the equity method.
F-8
BRESLER & REINER, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
For
entities that are not deemed to be VIEs, as set forth in FIN 46R, we account for our investments in these joint ventures in accordance with Statement of Position
No. 78-9,
Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures
and APB Opinion No. 18,
The Equity Method
of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock
. For entities in which we have a controlling interest, we consolidate the investment and a minority interest is recognized in our
consolidated financial statements (see
Minority Interest
). In determining whether we have a controlling interest in a joint venture and the requirement
to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights
of the members. We account for investments in joint ventures on the equity method when the requirements for consolidation are not met, and we have significant influence over the operations of the
investee. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions.
Our
investments in joint ventures are reviewed for impairment, periodically, if events or circumstances change indicating that the carrying amount of our investments may not be recoverable. The
ultimate realization of our investments in joint ventures is dependent on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment and market conditions. We will record an impairment charge
if we determine that a decline in the value of an investment is other than temporary.
INVESTMENTS
Investments consist principally of investments in municipal instruments. Our investments are classified as available-for-sale securities.
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses, where applicable, included in comprehensive income. At December 31,
2007 and 2006, cost approximated fair value for these securities. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the total of these investments which were short term in nature with maturities of less than
three months, was $21,191,000 and $36,686,000 respectively.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are
held at major commercial banks and may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $100,000.
RESTRICTED CASH AND DEPOSITS HELD IN ESCROW
Restricted cash and deposits held in escrow include: escrow balances funded in accordance with lender requirements including escrows for real estate taxes, insurance,
replacement reserves and lease reserves; deposits held in escrow for tenants; deposits on homes held for sale; and loan funds held back by lenders pending the successful achievement of various
coverage targets and occupancy statistics.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from our tenants' inability to make lease payments per their lease agreements. These
estimates are based on our judgment of a tenant's ability to pay, length of time the receivable is outstanding and probability of collection. Management exercises judgment in establishing these
allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates. The associated expense is recorded as property operating expense. Presented below is the activity in
the allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods indicated:

DEFERRED CHARGES AND OTHER ASSETS
Included in deferred charges are fees incurred in connection with obtaining financing for our real estate. These fees are deferred and amortized as a part of interest expense
over the term of the related debt instrument on a straight-line
F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
basis,
which approximates the effective interest method. In addition, deferred costs include leasing commissions incurred to originate a lease, which are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the term of the related lease.
Included
in other assets are the costs allocated to above market leases and acquired in-place leases for properties that were acquired. The application of SFAS No. 141 and 142 to
real estate acquisitions requires us to allocate the purchase price to these assets in addition to land, land improvements, building and improvements and furniture and fixtures based on the relative
fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired. In order to determine the amount of the purchase price to be allocated to these assets, we make assumptions regarding the relative value of the
in-place leases when compared to the current market. Some of the judgments required as a part of this exercise include (1) determining the market rental rates of the acquired
leases, (2) estimating the market value of tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions to be paid on new leases, (3) estimating an appropriate lease-up period and
(4) applying an estimated risk-adjusted discount rate to the cash flows. The acquired above market leases are amortized through revenues. The acquired in-place leases
are amortized through depreciation and amortization expense.
OTHER LIABILITIES
Included in other liabilities are the costs allocated to below market leases for properties that were acquired. The acquired below market leases are amortized as an increase in
revenues.
We
account for loan guaranties of the indebtedness of joint ventures that are not consolidated into our consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45
("FIN 45"),
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements of Guaranties, Including Indirect Guaranties of Indebtedness of Others
.
FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. At December 31, 2007 and 2006
the total recorded liability related to loan guaranties was $300,000 and $474,000 respectively, which is inlcuded in other liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.
MINORITY INTEREST
Minority interest in the balance sheet represents the minority owners' share of equity in the consolidated entity as of the balance sheet date, consisting of contributions made
by the minority partner plus or minus the minority partner's share of income or loss, less any distributions made to the minority partner. Minority interest in the statements of operations represents
the minority owners' share of the income or loss of the consolidated joint venture.
INCOME TAXES
SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
, is applied in calculating our provision for income taxes. As prescribed
therein, the provision for income tax is based on both current and deferred taxes. Current taxes represent the estimated taxes payable or refundable in the current year, and deferred taxes represent
estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and loss carryforwards. Nontaxable income, such as interest on state and municipal securities, is excluded from the provision
calculation.
Deferred
income taxes result principally from temporary differences related to the timing of the recognition of real estate sales, lease income, interest expense, and real estate taxes during
development and the timing of depreciation for tax and financial reporting purposes.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the stated amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses presented in the financial statements, as well as the disclosures. Consequently, actual results could differ from those
estimates that have been reported in our consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting policies that require the use of estimates and significant judgment include: the allocation of purchase
prices and assignment of useful lives for property acquisitions; the recording of cost of sales for development projects; the determination of consolidation methodology for joint ventures; the
valuation of assumed debt; the valuation of guaranties related to debt on entities that we do not consolidate; the recording of impairment losses if applicable; and the fair value of financial
instruments.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
We have no dilutive securities; therefore, basic and fully diluted earnings per share are identical. Weighted average common shares outstanding were 5,477,212 for the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
DIVIDENDS
In January 2007, our Board of Directors declared an annual cash dividend of $0.60 per share of common stock to be paid quarterly. Dividend payments of $0.15 per common share
were made in March, June, September and December, 2007.
In
May and November 2006, our Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. These dividends were paid in June and December 2006.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists primarily of net income (loss) adjusted for the impact of the adjustment to the minimum pension liability after taxes. We generally record
income taxes related to components of other comprehensive income based on our tax rate, including the effects of federal and state taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2007, comprehensive
income includes $145,000 related to the change in our pension plan liability (See Note 16).
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation related to assets held for sale and discontinued operations.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB
No. 51
("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income
specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest be identified in the consolidated financial statements. It also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent's
ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are
currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),
Business Combinations
("SFAS 141R"). SFAS 141R broadens the guidance
of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It broadens the fair value measurement
and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations. SFAS 141R expands on required disclosures to improve the statement
users' abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective for any business combinations we enter into on or after January 1, 2009. We
are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 141R will have on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115
("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an
instrument-by-instrument basis. We did not elect the fair value option for any of our existing eligible financial instruments on January 1, 2008, the effective date of
SFAS 159, and have not determined whether we will elect this option for any new financial instruments acquired in the future.
In
October 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158,
Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
("SFAS
No. 158") that requires companies to fully recognize an asset or liability for the overfunded or underfunded status of their benefit plans in financial statements of years ending after
December 15, 2006. The pension asset or liability equals the difference between the fair value of the plan's assets and its benefit obligation. Effective December 31, 2006, we adopted
SFAS No. 158. The adoption of the requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements as of December 31, 2006 did not have a material effect on
our
F-11
BRESLER & REINER, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
consolidated
financial statements. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations to determine the funded status as of the end of the fiscal year and to recognize changes in the funded
status in the year in which the changes occur is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of the measurement date provisions of this standard did not have a
material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes guidelines
for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in fair
value guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for our financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008, and our nonfinancial assets and
liabilities on January 1, 2009. SFAS 157 is not expected to significantly impact the manner in which we determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities, but it may require certain
additional disclosures.
In
July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"),
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income TaxesAn Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109
. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS
No. 109. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken
in a tax return. The new FASB interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of
this standard effective January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS
During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we entered into several significant transactions as described below. All acquisitions of real estate and investments
in joint ventures have been included in our accompanying statements of operations from the date of the transaction forward and any gains or losses on sales of assets have been calculated and recorded
as of the date of the transaction. All investments have been consolidated unless noted below:
Waterfront Complex
In October 2002, B&R Waterfront Properties LLC ("BRW"), a 54% owned subsidiary of ours, formed a joint venture, called
Waterfront Associates LLC ("WALLC"), with K/FCE Investment LLC ("K/FCE"), to redevelop and reposition the Waterfront Complex. BRW contributed the leasehold improvements and a ground
lease expiring in 2058, relating to the Waterfront Complex to WALLC. Based on the terms of the agreement K/FCE had the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase its ownership in the joint
venture up to 50% by making capital contributions or by causing the joint venture to make capital distributions.
In
November 2006, WALLC entered into a Land Disposition and Development Agreement ("LDDA") with the lessor under the ground lease at the Waterfront Complex, the RLA Revitalization Corporation
("RLARC"). Based on the LDDA, the existing ground lease, which expires in 2078, will be extinguished and a fee simple ownership interest will be conveyed to WALLC. In return, RLARC will retain fee
simple ownership in a portion of the site that is sufficient to develop a 400,000 square foot mixed-use residential building. Based on the agreement, which is subject to several
contingencies including obtaining the necessary Planned Unit Development approvals, WALLC has committed to develop 2,165,500 square feet of commercial office, retail and residential space at the
Waterfront Complex.
In
November 2006, WALLC entered into two lease agreements with agencies of the District of Columbia for the lease of a total of 500,000 square feet of office space in two new commercial office
buildings to be constructed by WALLC at the Waterfront Complex. The leases, which are subject to several approval and development contingencies, have 15 year terms and include rental payments
of $28.40 per square foot on a triple-net basis. Development of the office buildings commenced in 2007.
In
November 2006 WALLC entered into a contract for the removal of hazardous material at the Waterfront Complex. Based on the terms of the contract, the cost to remediate hazardous materials, for which
BRW had established a $3,000,000 reserve in 2002, totals $1,298,000. As a result, BRW recorded a $1,702,000 reduction in the reserve. The amount is included in other income with an offset of $783,000
in minority interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.
In
March 2007, in accordance with an amended and restated operating agreement of WALLC, K/FCE exercised its right to increase its ownership interest in the joint venture to 50% by making a $25,000,000
contribution to WALLC, all of which was distributed by WALLC to BRW (the "equalization payment"). BRW recorded an $18,721,000 gain related
F-12
BRESLER & REINER, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
to
its receipt of the equalization payment, representing the difference between the proceeds received and the proportionate cost of the real estate underlying the partnership interest that was
effectively sold to K/FCE. The gain is included in gain on sale of investments in joint ventures with an offsetting minority interest expense of $8,612,000, reflecting the 46% minority interest in BRW
at the time of the sale, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Trilon and West Office
In July 2007 we purchased 99.9% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in Trilon Plaza Company ("Trilon")
for $54,254,000 and 99.3% of the outstanding membership interests in West Office, LLC ("West Office") for $15,367,000. In addition to cash and short-term investments totaling
approximately $17,743,000 at the time of purchase, Trilon and West Office's principal assets are their combined 46% interest in BRW, which in addition to its interest in WALLC had cash and
short-term investments totaling approximately $41,300,000 at the time of the purchase. The purchase price of the interests in Trilon and West Office includes a valuation of their interest
in the Waterfront Complex, based on an estimate of the present value of the anticipated future cash flows that are forecasted to be generated from the development of the Waterfront Complex. As a
result of the purchase we have recorded an increase in our investment in WALLC of approximately $26,400,000.
The
purchase was funded through the issuance of $46,850,000 of promissory notes maturing in three years and carrying an interest rate of 7.5% (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements), with the remaining $22,771,000 funded with cash. The promissory notes require initial principal payments totaling $11,713,000 with the remaining amounts self-amortizing over
the notes' term.
As
a result of the acquisition, investments in principally available for-sale securities increased by $16,068,000, investments in joint ventures increased by $29,203,000 and minority
interest liability decreased by $22,763,000. Of these amounts, $10,293,000, $20,280,000 and $16,131,000, respectively were deemed to be non-cash activities due to our issuing the
promissory notes in connection with the purchase. Additional non-cash activity includes a decrease in income tax receivable of $552,000 and a decrease in other liabilities of $270,000.
Crisfield
In July 2007, we terminated our agreement with the homebuilder for the sale of developed lots at our Crisfield development
project in Crisfield, Maryland as a result of the homebuilder's default under this agreement. In conjunction with the termination of the agreement the homebuilder forfeited its remaining deposit with
us totaling $2,141,000. We have included this forfeited deposit in other revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. We had previously recorded an impairment charge totaling
$2,626,000 to reduce the carrying amount of the project to its estimated fair value less costs to sell. Management has decided to hold the developed lots as an investment until the market for
developed land improves.
Seaside
In November 2007, we terminated our agreement with a homebuilder for the sale of developed lots at our Seaside development project
in Ocean City, Maryland as a result of the homebuilder's default under this agreement. In conjunction with the termination of the agreement the homebuilder forfeited its remaining deposit with us
totaling $4,036,000. We have included this forfeited deposit in other revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. We had previously recorded an impairment charge totaling
$2,222,000 to reduce the carrying amount of the project to its estimated fair value less cost to sell. Management has decided to hold the developed lots as an investment until the market for developed
land improves.

Guilford Properties was formed for the purpose of acquiring and redeveloping a city block located in
Baltimore, Maryland. We have agreed to invest up to $10,000,000 to be used for the acquisition and development of four properties that comprise the city block. In October 2006, the venture obtained a

DISPOSITIONS
Inn at the Colonnade
In January 2007, we sold the Inn at the Colonnade, a 125 room hotel located in Baltimore, Maryland, for $15,000,000
and recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $7,409,000, net of debt extinguishment costs. The sale generated net proceeds of approximately $4,194,000 after defeasance of the existing debt.

In February 2007, we sold 1105 Market Street, a 173,000 square foot commercial office building located in
Wilmington, Delaware, for $18,500,000. At the time of the sale, the sales price approximated the carrying value of the property, as adjusted for impairment. The sale proceeds were used to help repay
the outstanding loan on the property of $19,000,000.

Prior
to March 2007, BRW consolidated the assets, liabilities and operations of WALLC, in accordance with FIN 46R because WALLC was deemed to be a variable interest entity and
we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity. Subsequent to the equalization payment, as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, we reassessed the
designation of primary beneficiary of WALLC and determined that BRW was no longer the primary beneficiary because K/FCE is subject to a majority of the potential variability in gains and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
losses
of the entity. We have therefore accounted for BRW's investment in WALLC under the equity method as of March 1, 2007. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet reflects the following
non-cash changes: property and land development decreased by $41,385,000; investments in joint ventures increased by $14,638,000; other assets decreased by $117,000; minority interest
liability decreased by $26,200,000; and other liabilities decreased by $713,000.

In
July 2007, we purchased the partnership interests in Trilon (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements), which owns a 46% interest in BRW and a 5% interest each in

In
2005 and 2006 Bresler & Reiner Statutory Trust I and Bresler & Reiner Statutory Trust II ("the Trusts"), wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, sold in a private
placement $40,000,000 and $30,000,000, respectively of trust preferred securities. Because we are not the primary beneficiary in either of the Trusts, we have accounted for our investment in these
entities under the equity method in accordance with FIN46R. Included in the Company's interest in equity is $2,199,000 and $2,202,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006 of equity in the Trusts.
The difference between the carrying amount of our investment in joint ventures and our accumulated membership interest noted above is primarily due to a
$27,200,000 increase in our investment in WALLC as a result of our purchase of Trilon and West Office, as well as capitalized interest on our investment balance in joint ventures that own real estate
under development, and the fair value of loan guaranties we have provided. The increase in our investment in WALLC will be expensed as developed condominium units are sold or depreciated over the
useful lives of commercial and residential assets after they have been placed in service. The capitalized interest is expensed as the development units are sold or depreciated over the useful life of
the asset after it has been placed in service.

LIBOR
rate for this loan is three-month LIBOR rate which was 4.70% at December 31, 2007.
We have guarantied the debt of certain consolidated subsidiaries. Such guaranties do not increase our consolidated obligations. However, they may under certain
conditions provide for accelerated repayments, if requested by the lender.
Several
of our loans contain financial covenants, including requirements that we maintain a minimum liquidity of $30,000,000, a minimum net worth of $130,000,000, minimum annual funds from operations,
as defined, of $15,000,000 and several interest coverage ratios. We were not in compliance at December 31, 2007 with the net worth test related to our $30,000,000 issuance of Trust Preferred
Securities. The violation of this covenant is an event of default under these Securities. Should the related lender declare us in default and demand repayment in full we may be required to sell one or
more of our operating properties or our interest in one or more development projects to repay the related debt. This may require us to accept prices that are below the market value of these assets.
In
addition, we were not in compliance for the year ended December 31, 2007 with the FFO test related to loans with a total of $17,787,000 outstanding. The lender under these loans has waived
this covenant for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Included
in mortgages and construction loans and other debt on the balance sheets are fair value adjustments on assumed debt. The net unamortized fair value premium was $249,000 and $213,000 at
December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively.
As
part of our construction and development activities, we capitalized $6,384,000 and $7,362,000 of interest for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively.

LOAN FINANCINGS
510 Township Line Road
In May 2007, we repaid the loan collateralized by 510 Township Line Road, which had an outstanding balance of
$10,760,000, and placed a ten-year $14,000,000 mortgage loan on the property bearing a fixed interest rate of 5.71%. Interest only payments are due during the first five years of the loan
term.
950 Threadneedle
In February 2007, we placed a ten-year $4,300,000 mortgage loan on 950 Threadneedle, bearing interest at
5.75%. Interest-only payments are due during the first five years of the loan term.

LOAN DEFEASANCES
In 2007 and 2006 we defeased six mortgage loans collateralized by our properties by purchasing US Treasury Securities ("Securities"). These Securities, whose cash flow is
structured to match the principal and interest payments due under the respective mortgage notes, were placed in trusts for the sole purpose of funding these payments under the mortgage notes. Because
the transactions were structured as legal defeasances, in accordance with SFAS No. 140,
Accounting for Transfers on Servicing of Financial Assets and
Liabilities
, the mortgage notes payable were accounted for as having been extinguished. Following is a description of the mortgage loans that were defeased:
Versar Center
In July 2007, we defeased the $17,454,000 loan collateralized by the Versar Center and placed a $28,000,000
ten-year mortgage loan on the property bearing a fixed interest rate of 6.41%. Interest-only payments are due during the first four years of the loan term. We incurred debt
extinguishment costs of $1,667,000 related to the defeasance.
Ft. Hill
In March 2007, we defeased the $5,409,000 loan collateralized by Ft. Hill and placed a $10,400,000 ten-year mortgage
loan on the property bearing a fixed interest rate of 5.75%. Interest-only payments are due during the first five years of the loan term. We recorded debt extinguishment costs, net of
minority interest, of $646,000 related to the defeasance.
Sudley North
In March 2007, we defeased the $17,192,000 loan collateralized by Sudley Buildings A,B,C&D and the Bank Building and placed an
$18,500,000 mortgage loan on Sudley Buildings A,B&C and the Bank Building and a $10,400,000 mortgage loan on Sudley Building D. Both the new loans mature in 2017, bear interest at 5.75% and require
interest-only payments during the first five years of the loan term. We recorded debt extinguishment costs, net of minority interest, of $2,083,000 related to the defeasance. At the time
of the defeasance we distributed $1,881,000 of the net proceeds to our 50% partner in Sudley D, an affiliate of the Company.
Victoria Place
In February 2007, we defeased the $32,249,000 loan collateralized by Victoria Place Apartments and placed a $46,000,000
ten-year mortgage loan on the property bearing an interest rate of 5.73%. Interest-only payments are due during the first five years of the loan term. We recorded debt
extinguishment costs, net of minority interest, of $611,000 related to the defeasance.
Mearns Park
In September 2006 we defeased the $11,468,000 loan collateralized by Mearns Park and placed a new $16,500,000
10-year mortgage loan on the property bearing a fixed rate of interest of 6.17%. We incurred debt extinguishment costs of $864,000 related to the defeasance. Because this defeasance was
completed as part of the asset purchase, we have included the difference between the cost of the Securities purchased and the carrying amount of the mortgage notes extinguished in rental property and
equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Cross Keys
In July 2006 we defeased the $10,759,000 mortgage loan collateralized by Cross Keys and placed a $14,500,000 10-year
mortgage loan on the property bearing a fixed rate of interest of 6.33%. We incurred debt extinguishment costs of $1,047,000 related to the defeasance.
INTEREST RATE SWAP
Red Mill Pond
In August 2007, we amended the terms of the loan secured by the Red Mill Pond development project. The amended
terms reflect an initial principal balance of $22,000,000 and a three year loan term. The loan bears interest at three-month LIBOR plus 3.25%. In connection with the loan, we entered into a
three-year interest rate swap agreement, indexed to the three-month LIBOR rate, for a portion of the loan balance outstanding. Notional amounts under the swap agreement total $10,000,000,
$6,000,000 and $3,000,000 during the first, second and third year of the loan term, respectively. The swap agreement has effectively fixed the three-month LIBOR rate at 5.2% over the loan term for the
notional. Included in other liabilities at December 31, 2007, is an interest rate swap liability, totaling $191,000 related to the fair value of this swap agreement, based on a 4.9% three-month
LIBOR swap rate on this date. Because this derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting we have recorded a corresponding increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007.

UNSECURED JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES AND TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES
In May 2006, Bresler & Reiner, Statutory Trust II, ("Trust II") our wholly owned subsidiary, completed the issuance and sale in a private placement of $30,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount of trust preferred securities. Trust II simultaneously issued $930,000 in aggregate principal amount of common securities to us. Both the preferred securities and the common
securities (together the "Capital Securities II"), mature in May 2036 and may be redeemed by the Trust II at any time on or after July 30, 2011. The Capital Securities II require quarterly
distributions payable at a fixed rate equal to 9.02% per annum until July 31, 2011 and at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points per annum thereafter. Trust II used
the proceeds from the sale of the Capital Securities II to purchase $30,930,000 in aggregate principal amount of unsecured junior subordinated debentures (the "Debentures II") due in May 2036 issued
by us. The payment terms of the Debentures II are substantially the same as the terms of the Capital Securities II.
9. LOSS ON IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
For long-lived assets and development projects that are to be held and used we have determined whether the expected undiscounted cash flows of these projects exceed
their recorded carrying amounts. For long-lived assets and substantially completed development projects to be disposed of by sale we have determined whether the fair value based on the
present value of the estimated future discounted cash flows of the projects, less estimated selling costs, exceed their carrying costs. To calculate this present value management has relied on a
number of assumptions including: sales prices of the units being sold; appropriate growth rates in prices; the absorption rate of units being sold; the cost to construct condominiums or townhouses on
the land; and an appropriate discount rate given the relative risk of the cash flows.
Based
on our analyses we have recorded impairment charges for the Seaside, Crisfield, 400 S. Philadelphia and Laguna Vista development projects, totaling $2,222,000, $2,626,000, $2,086,000 and
$1,206,000 respectively for the year ended December 31, 2007, to reduce the carrying value of these projects to their estimated fair values, in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The results of operations and gains on sale for 1105 Market Street and the Inn at the Colonnade are included in income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes
and minority interest, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

proceeds of approximately $4,194,000 after defeasance of the existing debt of $9,428,000.
In
February 2007, we sold 1105 Market Street, for $18,500,000. In 2006, we recorded an impairment charge of $4,807,000 to reduce the asset's carrying value to estimated fair value less costs to
sell in accordance with SFAS No. 144. The impairment charge is included in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax and minority interest in our consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2006. The sale proceeds were used to help repay the outstanding loan on the property of $19,000,000.

acres of undeveloped land in the same complex for $22,800,000. As a result of the sale we have included in discontinued operations a pre-tax gain on sale of $5,174,000 related to the sale
of our interest in the consolidated entity.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
GUARANTIES
Devon Square
We have guarantied repayment of up to $21,350,000 of an acquisition and construction loan obtained by Devon Square.
The loan matures in August 2008. At December 31, 2007, the balance outstanding under the loan totaled $20,178,000. Funding of the guaranty would increase our equity participation in the
venture.
640 North Broad
In conjunction with the sale of 640 North Broad we guarantied a $6,000,000 loan obtained by the buyer and secured in part by a
$3,000,000 certificate of deposit that we purchased from the lender. We have recorded a
liability of $300,000, our estimate of the fair value of this guaranty. We have also recorded a deferred gain of $257,000 associated with the sale. Both the liability associated with the loan guaranty
and the deferred gain are included in other liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.
Guilford Properties
We have guarantied repayment of the entire loan balance outstanding under a $7,480,000 acquisition and development loan obtained by
Guilford Properties. Funding of the guaranty would increase our equity participation in the venture. The loan matures in 2009. At December 31, 2007, the balance outstanding under the loan
totaled $6,648,000.
Holliday Properties
We have guarantied repayment of the entire loan balance outstanding under a $9,116,000 acquisition and development loan obtained by
Holliday Properties that matures in 2009. Funding of the guaranty would increase our equity participation in the venture. At December 31, 2007, the balance outstanding under the loan totaled
$4,786,000.
Waterfront
We have guarantied the reimbursement payment to a partner in WALLC of all costs they may incur under a completion guaranty they have provided
on a $45,000,000 pre-development loan obtained by the venture. Funding of the guaranty would increase our equity participation in the venture.
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENTS
In support of certain consolidated entities' mortgage loans we have entered into master lease agreements, and we have provided indemnification for certain environmental events.
These agreements are entered into for the benefit of the mortgage lenders to facilitate more favorable terms.

LONG-TERM PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
In November 2006 we entered into several fixed-price cancelable commitments to purchase electricity from third-party utility companies through December 2011. The terms of the
contracts commenced in January 2007 and provide for us to have electricity delivered to our properties in Houston at fixed prices per kilowatt hour. In 2007, we purchased $1,916,000 of electricity
pursuant to the terms of this contract.

LETTERS OF CREDIT
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, we have $10,464,000 and $2,786,000 of outstanding letters of credit respectively.
MARKET CONCENTRATIONS
The commercial properties we owned at December 31, 2007 are concentrated in both the Mid-Atlantic region of the country, and the Houston, Texas metropolitan
market. Our residential apartment properties are concentrated in the Central Florida area. No single tenant represents more than 10% of our total revenues. Our development projects are located in the
Washington, D.C., Maryland and Delaware Eastern Shore, Baltimore, Maryland and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania metropolitan areas.
LITIGATION
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Management believes that the final outcome of such matters will not
have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
12. INCOME TAXES
We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
("FIN No. 48"), effective
January 1, 2007. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income
Taxes
("SFAS No. 109"). FIN No. 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new FASB interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition. In the event that we receive an assessment for interest and/or penalties, our policy is to recognize them as operating expenses. Under FIN No. 48, an entity may only
recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. The adoption of this standard effective January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements as the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was not material. There were no material unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007. We do not believe
there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. We are subject to examination by respective taxing authorities for the tax years 2004 through 2007.
SFAS
No. 109 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from our activities during the current and preceding years. It requires an
asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Balance sheet accruals for income taxes are adjusted to reflect changes in tax rates in the period such changes are enacted.

Of the 2007 net operating loss, $3,068,000 will be carried back to offset income taxes paid in previous years. The remaining deferred tax asset at
December 31, 2007 represents net operating losses that will be carried forward and applied against future taxable income The majority of the net operating loss carryforward will expire at
December 31, 2027 if it is not applied prior to that date. The deferred tax asset balance is included with deferred charges and other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets.
For
the year ended December 31, 2007, interest and penalties relating to the filing of our income tax returns was $26,000 and $71,000 respectively.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In July 2007, we purchased substantially all of the outstanding limited partnership and membership interests in Trilon and West Office (see Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements). Prior to the purchase, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and another Board of Directors member (Company affiliates) owned a total 88.3% interest in Trilon
and 21.1% interest in West Office. These Company affiliates received a total of $51,213,000, including $4,363,000 in cash and $46,850,000 in promissory notes from the Company bearing an interest rate
of 7.5% and maturing in three years. In accordance with the terms of the promissory notes initial principal payments totaling $11,713,000 were made at the time the notes were issued. The remaining
principal due under the notes will self-amortize over the notes' term.
In
July 2007, Venice Lofts repaid the development and construction loans securing the property and obtained a ten-year $38,000,000 loan bearing an interest rate of 6.4% with
interest-only payments due during the first five years of the loan term. In connection with the repayment of the loans, B&R Philadelphia Condo Investors, a 44% owned subsidiary of the
Company, which has a 50% interest in Venice Lofts, contributed $6,700,000 to the venture. In connection with the funding of this contribution, the Chairman of the Board of Directors provided a
one-year $4,400,000 loan bearing interest at 15%, which is a rate comparable to the mezzanine portion of the debt that was repaid.
F-28
BRESLER & REINER, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Interest incurred on these loans, together with interest on other borrowings from affiliates totaled $1,629,000 and $108,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
15. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
In January 2006, our Board of Directors adopted a Stock Appreciation Rights Incentive Plan ("the Plan"). Under the Plan, we may grant to employees and consultants up to an
aggregate of 280,000 stock appreciation rights ("SARs") with respect to shares of our common stock. Upon exercise, each SAR will entitle the exercising holder to a cash payment equal to the excess of
the market value of a share of common stock at the time of exercise over the market value of a share of common stock at the time of grant of the SAR. The Plan is administered by our Compensation
Committee, which has sole authority to grant SARs to employees and consultants under the Plan. At the time of adoption, the term of each SAR granted pursuant to the Plan is no more than ten years
after the date of grant. The SARs vest immediately upon grant.
Under
SFAS 123R,
Share-Based Payment
, we recognized a compensation liability for the fair value of the SARs and an addition to the compensation
expense equal to the computed liability. The compensation liability is adjusted at the end of each reporting period by recomputing the fair values of the outstanding SARs and the change in the
computed liability is reported as an increase or decrease in the compensation expense.
We
use the "plain vanilla" Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form model as described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 for determining the fair value of the SARs. All SARs are granted at the
average market value of our common stock for the 30 business day period preceding the grant date. The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of the SARs as of
December 31, 2007: expected volatility of 22.1%, a weighted average expected remaining life of 3.1 years and a risk free interest rate of 3.5%. Total compensation liability related to
our SARs was $475,000 and $1,416,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These amounts are included in other liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. The decrease in this
liability resulted in a reduction of the associated expense of $738,000 in 2007. In 2006, we recognized $1,416,000 of expense related to our SARs.

16. BENEFIT PLANS
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
In November 2004, we established a defined contribution plan ("401K") that covers all employees. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we contributed $94,000
and $82,000 respectively, to the 401K plan, representing 3% of all eligible employees' eligible compensation up to a maximum salary of $225,000 and $220,000 per employee, respectively.
DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
Most of our employees are covered by our defined benefit pension plan. We have made contributions to the plan to trusts established to pay future benefits to eligible retirees
and dependents. We use December 31 as our measurement date. Benefit obligations as of the end of the year reflect assumptions in effect as of those dates. Net pension costs for each of the
years presented were based on assumptions in effect at the end of the respective preceding year.
F-29
BRESLER & REINER, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In
December 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 158 which requires us to recognize assets or liabilities depending on whether our defined benefit pension plan is overfunded or underfunded at
December 31 with a corresponding noncash adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, in our stockholders' equity. A plan's funded status is measured as the difference
between the fair value of the plan's assets and the projected benefit obligation ("PBO") of the plan. The adjustment to stockholders' equity represents the net unrecognized actuarial losses and prior
service costs which were previously netted against the plan's funded status on our balance sheet in accordance with SFAS No. 87. The adjustment also includes the elimination of the minimum
pension liability related to our defined benefit pension plan that was recorded prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 158.
The
unrecognized amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost consistent with our historical accounting policy for amortizing
those amounts. Actuarial gains and losses that arise in future periods and are not recognized as net periodic pension cost in those periods will be recognized as increases or decreases in other
comprehensive income, net of tax, in the period they arise. Actuarial gains
and losses recognized in other comprehensive income are adjusted as they are subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost.

The long-term rate of return assumption represents the expected average rate of earnings on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the
benefits included in the benefit obligations. The long-term rate of return assumption is determined based on a number of factors, including historical market index returns, the anticipated
long-term asset allocation of the plan, historical plan return data, plan expenses and the potential to outperform market index returns.
The
investment objectives for the assets of the defined benefit pension plan are to minimize the net present value of expected funding contributions and to meet or exceed the rate of return assumed
for plan funding purposes over the long term. The nature and duration of benefit obligations, along with assumptions concerning assets class returns and return correlations, are considered when
determining an appropriate asset allocation to achieve the investment objectives.
Investment
policies and strategies governing the assets of the plan are designed to achieve investment objectives within prudent risk parameters. Risk management practices include the use of external
investment managers and the
maintenance of a portfolio diversified by asset class, investment approach and security holdings, and the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet benefit obligations as they come due.
The
following postretirement benefit plan amounts were included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, for the years presented, in accordance with SFAS No. 158 (in
thousands).

17. DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair values of our financial instruments are described below.
As
of December 31, 2007, the fair value of our $724,985,000 of mortgage and construction loans and other debt was $701,303,000. As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of our
$610,681,000 of mortgage and construction loans and other debt was $592,006,000. The fair value of fixed rate debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows based on borrowing rates currently
available to us for financing on similar terms for borrowers with similar credit ratings. For variable rate obligations the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The
fair value of our other financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts.
18. SEGMENT INFORMATION
In accordance with SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,
we report segment
information for the following six categories:

in Redwood Commercial, a commercial management company.
Residential Rental Property
This
segment includes the rental income derived from residential properties from leases of apartment units and other related revenue sources. Apartment leases generally provide for a fixed monthly
rental over a one-year term.
