Healthcare Trust of America, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
As of and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
The use of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, except where the context otherwise requires.

1. Organization and Description of Business
Healthcare Trust of America, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on April 20, 2006. We were initially capitalized on April 28, 2006 and consider that to be our date of inception.

We are a fully integrated, self-administered and internally managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, primarily focused on acquiring, owning and operating high-quality medical office buildings that are predominantly located on or aligned with campuses of nationally or regionally recognized healthcare systems. We are one of the largest public REITs focused on medical office buildings in the United States based on gross leasable area, or GLA, and have strong industry relationships, a stable and diversified tenant mix and an extensive and active acquisition network. Our primary objective is to maximize stockholder value with disciplined growth through strategic investments and to provide an attractive risk-adjusted return for our stockholders by consistently increasing our cash flow. In pursuing this objective, we target mid-sized acquisitions of high-quality medical office buildings in markets with dominant healthcare systems, attractive demographics and that complement our existing portfolio, actively manage our balance sheet to maintain flexibility with conservative leverage, and seek internal growth through proactive asset management, leasing and property management oversight. We have qualified to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and we intend to continue to be taxed as a REIT. We conduct substantially all of our operations through Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, or our operating partnership.
We invest primarily in high-quality medical office buildings in our target markets, and have acquired high-quality medical office buildings and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry with an aggregate purchase price of $2,548,860,000 through March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, our portfolio consisted of 245 medical office buildings and 19 other facilities that serve the healthcare industry, as well as two portfolios of mortgage loans receivable secured by medical office buildings.
On September 20, 2006, we commenced a best efforts initial public offering, or our initial offering, in which we offered up to 200,000,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share in a primary offering and up to 21,052,632 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or the DRIP, at $9.50 per share, aggregating up to $2,200,000,000. On March 19, 2010, we commenced a best efforts follow-on public offering, or our follow-on offering, in which we offered up to 200,000,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share in a primary offering and up to 21,052,632 shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP at $9.50 per share, aggregating up to $2,200,000,000. We stopped offering shares in the follow-on offering on February 28, 2011. In aggregate, we received and accepted subscriptions in our initial and follow-on offerings for 220,673,545 shares of our common stock, or $2,195,655,000, excluding shares of our common stock issued under the DRIP. We continue to offer shares pursuant to the DRIP; however we may terminate the DRIP at any time.
Our principal executive offices are located at 16435 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 320, Scottsdale, Arizona, 85254. Our telephone number is (480) 998-3478. For investor services, contact DST Systems, Inc. by telephone at (888) 801-0107.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Such interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are the representations of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Healthcare Trust of America, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)–(Continued)

Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our operating 
partnership, the wholly-owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership and any variable interest entities, or VIEs, as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC, 810, Consolidation, or ASC 810. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. We operate in an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, structure in which subsidiaries of our operating partnership own all of the properties acquired on our behalf. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we owned an approximately 99.93%, respectively, general partner interest in our operating partnership. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 0.07%, respectively, of our operating partnership was owned by certain physician investors who obtained limited partner interests in connection with the Fannin acquisition in June 2010 (see Note 13).
Because we are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and have unilateral control over its management and major operating decisions (even if additional limited partners are admitted to our operating partnership), the accounts of our operating partnership are consolidated in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Interim Unaudited Financial Data
Our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with GAAP in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such results may be less favorable. Our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, perhaps in material adverse ways, and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
Segment Disclosure
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, or ASC 280, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segment. We have determined that we have one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in medical office buildings and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry. Our investments in real estate and other real estate related assets are geographically diversified and our chief operating decision maker evaluates operating performance on an individual asset level. As each of our assets has similar economic characteristics, tenants, and products and services, our assets have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (Included in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement), or ASU 2011-04, which amends existing guidance to provide common fair value measurements and related disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS. Additional disclosure requirements in the amendment include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity and a discussion of the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs; (2) discussion of the use of a nonfinancial asset that differs from the asset’s highest and best use; and (3) the level of the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments for items that are not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption not permitted. We adopted ASU 2011-04 in fiscal 2012; the adoption of ASU 2011-04 had a material impact on the disclosures in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. Business Combinations
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we have completed three new acquisitions and expanded one of our existing portfolios through the purchase of an additional medical office building. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was $214,187,000 plus closing costs specific to these completed purchases of $1,837,000. See Note 3, Real Estate Investments, Net for a listing of the properties acquired and the dates of acquisition. Results of operations for the property acquisitions are reflected in our interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 for the periods subsequent to the acquisition dates.
As of March 31, 2012, the aggregate purchase price was provisionally allocated in the amounts shown in the table below. Due to the timing of the acquisitions we have not finalized the appraisals and valuations related to our acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Since the acquisitions that occurred were determined to be individually not significant but material collectively, the allocations for these acquisitions are presented in aggregate in accordance with the guidance prescribed by ASC 805.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we completed the acquisition of one new property portfolio as well as purchased two additional medical office buildings within our existing property portfolios. The aggregate purchase price associated with these acquisitions was $36,314,000 plus closing costs specific to these completed purchases of $336,000. The aggregate purchase price was allocated in the amount of $945,000 to land, $24,539,000 to building and improvements, $1,794,000 to tenant improvements, $852,000 to lease commissions, $4,867,000 to leases in place, $2,887,000 to tenant relationships, $603,000 to above market leasehold interest in land, $(76,000) to above market debt, $20,000 to above market leases, and $(117,000) to below market leases.
In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, or ASC 805, we, with assistance from independent valuation specialists, allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values. The allocation to tangible assets (building and land) is based upon our determination of the value of the property as if it were to be replaced and vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used by market participants. Factors considered by us include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. Additionally, the purchase price of the applicable property is allocated to the above or below market value of in place leases, the value of in place leases, tenant relationships, above or below market debt assumed, and any contingent consideration transferred in the combination.
As of March 31, 2012, we owned one property, purchased during the third quarter of 2010, which is subject to an earnout provision obligating us to pay additional consideration to the seller contingent on the future leasing and occupancy of vacant space at the property. This earnout payment is based on a predetermined formula and has a set 24-month time period regarding the obligation to make these payments. If, at the end of this time period, which expires August 4, 2012, certain space has not been leased and occupied, we will have no further obligation. The total liability associated with the earnout at March 31, 2012, which is recorded within “Security deposits, prepaid rent, and other liabilities” in our interim condensed consolidated balance sheet, was $2,153,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we made one payment of $328,000 under the earnout agreement.

8. Mortgage and Secured Real Estate Term Loans Payable, Net
Mortgage loans payable, net, and secured real estate term loan payable were $633,994,000 ($636,466,000, including premium) and $636,558,000 ($639,149,000, including premium) as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
As of March 31, 2012, we had fixed and variable rate mortgage loans and a secured real estate term loan with effective interest rates ranging from 1.74% to 12.75% per annum and a weighted average effective interest rate of 5.04% per annum. As of March 31, 2012, we had $459,251,000 ($461,723,000, including premium) of fixed rate debt, or 72.4% of that total, at a weighted average interest rate of 6.02% per annum and $174,743,000 of variable rate debt, or 27.6% of that total, at a weighted average interest rate of 2.45% per annum. As of March 31, 2012, we had fixed rate interest rate swaps and a cap agreement on $100,781,000 of this variable rate debt, thereby effectively fixing our interest rate on those debt instruments. Including the impact of our interest rate swaps and cap, the weighted average interest rate associated with our variable rate debt is 3.15% per annum.

As of December 31, 2011, we had fixed rate interest rate swaps and caps on $100,908,000 of this variable rate debt, thereby effectively fixing our interest rate on those debt instruments. Including the impact of our interest rate swaps and caps, the weighted average interest rate associated with our variable rate debt is 3.18% per annum.
We are required by the terms of the applicable loan documents related to our mortgage loans payable and secured term loan to meet certain financial covenants, such as debt service coverage ratios, rent coverage ratios and reporting requirements. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we believe that we were in compliance with all such financial covenants and requirements on our mortgage loans payable and secured term loan.
In April and May 2012, we paid off a total of $58,171,000 of fixed rate and $10,527,000 variable rate mortgage loans, respectively. See Note 17, Subsequent Events, for further discussion.

(a)
We have a senior secured real estate term loan in the amount of $125,500,000 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or Wells Fargo Bank. Interest is payable monthly at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.35%, which, as of March 31, 2012, equated to 2.60%. Including the impact of the interest rate swap which fixes the rate at 3.42% on $75,000,000 of the balance, the weighted average rate associated with this term loan is 3.09%. The term loan matures on December 31, 2013 and includes two 12-month extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The loan agreement for the term loan includes financial covenants that we believe are customary for loans of this type, including a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total assets, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, and a minimum level of tangible net worth. In addition, the term loan agreement for this secured term loan includes events of default that we believe are customary for loans of this type. The term loan is secured by 25 buildings within 12 property portfolios in 13 states and has a two year period in which no prepayment is permitted; which expires on March 1, 2013. Our operating partnership has guaranteed 25% of the principal balance and 100% of the interest under the term loan.
As of March 31, 2012, the principal payments due on our mortgage loans payable for the nine months ending December 31, 2012 and for each of the next four years ending December 31 and thereafter is as follows:

9. Derivative Financial Instruments
ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC 815, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. We utilize derivatives such as fixed interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. Consistent with ASC 815, we record derivative financial instruments on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. ASC 815 permits special hedge accounting if certain requirements are met. Hedge accounting allows for gains and losses on derivatives designated as hedges to be offset by the change in value of the hedged item(s) or to be deferred in other comprehensive income.
As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements, but do not meet the hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recorded within the line item entitled “Interest expense related to derivative financial instruments and net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments” in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We have agreements with each of our interest rate swap derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if we default on certain of our unsecured indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our interest rate swap derivative obligations resulting in an acceleration of payment. In addition, we are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by our derivative counterparties. We believe we mitigate our credit risk by entering into agreements with credit-worthy counterparties. We record counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments on interest rate swap derivative assets in order to properly reflect the credit quality of the counterparty. In addition, our fair value of interest rate swap derivative liabilities is adjusted to reflect the impact of our credit quality. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there have been no termination events or events of default related to the interest rate swaps or cap agreement.

10. Revolving Credit Facility

New Unsecured Credit Agreement
On March 29, 2012, we entered into a new credit agreement, or the new credit agreement, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, or JPMorgan Securities, LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as syndication agents, U.S. Bank National Association, Fifth Third Bank, Capital One, N.A., Regions Bank, and Compass Bank as documentation agents, and the lenders named therein to obtain an unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $575,000,000, or the unsecured revolving credit facility, and an unsecured term loan of $300,000,000, or the unsecured term loan. The new credit agreement matures in March 2016 and includes a one year extension option, subject to certain conditions. The new credit agreement replaces the previous $575,000,000 credit agreement that would have matured in May 2014, see below for further discussion of the previous credit agreement.
The actual amount of credit available under the new credit agreement is a function of certain loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios contained in the credit agreement. Subject to the terms of the new credit agreement, the maximum principal amount of the new credit agreement may be increased, subject to such additional financing being offered and provided by existing lenders or new lenders under the credit agreement.
Borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility portion of the new credit agreement accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.75% based on our operating partnership’s credit ratings. Our operating partnership also pays a facility fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.50% on the aggregate commitments under the unsecured revolving credit facility. The margin associated with borrowings as of March 31, 2012 was 1.55% and the facility fee as of March 31, 2012 was 0.35%. As of March 31, 2012 we had no amounts outstanding on the unsecured revolving credit facility.
Borrowings under the unsecured term loan portion of the new credit agreement accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 2.25% based on our operating partnership's credit ratings. The margin associated with borrowings as of March 31, 2012 was 1.85%. As of March 31, 2012, we had $200,000,000 outstanding on our unsecured term loan. We may draw an additional $100,000,000 under this unsecured term loan through June 30, 2012.
On March 29, 2012, we entered into an interest rate swap with Wells Fargo as counterparty for a notional amount of $200,000,000, with a maturity date of March 29, 2017. The swap serves to fix our interest rate for our unsecured term loan at 3.075% per annum for the next five years.

The new credit agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for facilities of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of debt by us, our operating partnership and its subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets, limitations on the nature of our operating partnership’s business, and limitations on distributions by our operating partnership and its subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets. Pursuant to the new credit agreement, and to the extent the Company's common shares are not listed on a national trading exchange, beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2012, our operating partnership may not make cash distribution payments to us and we may not make cash distributions to our stockholders in excess of the greater of: (i) 100% of normalized adjusted FFO (as defined in the new credit agreement) for the period of four fiscal quarters ending on or before December 31, 2013 and, (ii) 95% of normalized adjusted FFO for the period of four fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014 and thereafter. Shares of our common stock issued under the DRIP are not subject to the limitation on distribution payments. Additionally, the new credit agreement also imposes a number of financial covenants on us and our operating partnership, including: a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value; a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges; a minimum tangible net worth covenant; a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value; and a minimum ratio of unencumbered net operating income to unsecured interest expense. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants. In addition, the new credit agreement includes events of default that we believe are customary for all facilities of this type, including restricting us from making distributions to our stockholders in the event we are in default under the new credit agreement, except to the extent necessary for us to maintain our REIT status.
Previous Credit Agreement
As of December 31, 2011, we had no amounts outstanding on our former unsecured revolving credit facility and we were in compliance with all of the covenants therein. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had draws of $182,000,000 on the unsecured revolving credit facility in order to fund the acquisition of operating properties. During March 2012, these amounts were repaid and this credit facility was closed in conjunction with the execution of the new credit agreement.

11. Identified Intangible Liabilities, Net

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We are not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us, which if determined unfavorably to us, would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Environmental Matters
We follow the policy of monitoring our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist at our properties, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to our properties that would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Further, we are not aware of any material environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.
Tax Status
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we entered into a closing agreement with the IRS, or the Closing Agreement, pursuant to which (i) the IRS agreed not to challenge our dividends as preferential for our taxable years 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, and (ii) we paid a compliance fee in an immaterial amount to the IRS. In accordance with the terms of the Closing Agreement, any reimbursement to us for our payment of this compliance fee will be considered gross income. As a result of the Closing Agreement, we continue to qualify as a REIT and to satisfy our distribution requirements.
Other
Our other commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of real estate owners and operators in the normal course of business. In our opinion, these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

13. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest of Limited Partners
As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, we owned a 99.93% general partner interest in our operating partnership. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, 0.07% of our operating partnership was owned by individual investors that elected to exchange their partnership interests in the partnership that owns the 7900 Fannin Medical Office Building for limited partner units of our operating partnership. We acquired the majority interest in the Fannin partnership on June 30, 2010. In aggregate, as of March 31, 2012, approximately 0.07% of the earnings of our operating partnership are allocated to the redeemable noncontrolling interest of limited partners.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests are accounted for in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity, or ASC 480, at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the redemption value from the purchase date to the earliest redemption date are accreted using the straight-line method. Additionally, as the noncontrolling interests provide for redemption features not solely within the control of the issuer, we classify such interests outside of permanent equity. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, redeemable noncontrolling interest of limited partners was $3,690,000 and $3,889,000, respectively. Below is a table reflecting the activity of the redeemable noncontrolling interests.

14. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
Through March 31, 2012, we granted an aggregate of 1,227,500 shares of restricted common stock to our independent directors, executive officers, and other employees pursuant to the terms and conditions of our Amended 2006 Incentive Plan. Through March 31, 2012, we issued 21,673,142 shares of our common stock under the DRIP, and we repurchased 12,181,529 shares of our common stock under our share repurchase plan. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had 229,514,049 and 228,491,312 shares of our common stock outstanding, respectively.
On December 20, 2010, our stockholders approved an amendment to our charter to provide for the reclassification and conversion of our common stock in the event our shares are listed on a national securities exchange to implement a phased in liquidity program. We proposed these amendments and submitted them for approval by our stockholders to prepare our company in the event we pursue a listing. Under the phased in liquidity program, our common stock would reclassify and convert into shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock immediately prior to a listing. In the event of a listing, the shares of Class A common stock would be immediately listed on a national securities exchange. The shares of Class B common stock would not be listed. Rather, those shares would convert into shares of Class A common stock and become listed in defined phases, over a defined period of time within 18 months of a listing. The phased in liquidity program is intended to provide for our stock to be transitioned into the public market in a way that minimizes the stock-pricing instability that could result from concentrated sales of our stock.
Preferred Stock
Our charter authorizes us to issue 200,000,000 shares of our $0.01 par value preferred stock. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
We adopted the DRIP that allows stockholders to purchase additional shares of common stock through the reinvestment of distributions, subject to certain conditions. We registered and reserved 21,052,632 shares of our common stock for sale pursuant to the DRIP in our initial offering and we registered and reserved 21,052,632 shares of our common stock for sale pursuant to the DRIP in our follow-on offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, $19,148,000 and $17,651,000, respectively, in distributions were reinvested and 2,015,580 and 1,857,957 shares of our common stock, respectively, were issued under the DRIP. We terminated of our follow-on offering on February 28, 2011, except for the DRIP. We will periodically review potential alternatives for our DRIP, including the amendment, suspension or termination of the plan.
On August 1, 2011, our board of directors adopted an amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan, or the amended DRIP, which became effective August 11, 2011.
The DRIP originally provided that the purchase price for shares under the DRIP be offered at $9.50 per share for up to 12 months subsequent to the close of our last public offering of shares prior to the potential listing of the shares on a national securities exchange, or a listing. Certain rules and regulations promulgated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, require that we or a third party firm establish a per share estimated valuation not based on the price to acquire our shares in a public offering not later than 18 months after the conclusion of a public offering.
Our board has determined that it is in the best interests of the company and its stockholders to ensure that we have adequate time to undertake procedures necessary to calculate an estimated value per share as required by FINRA. Accordingly, the amended DRIP provides that the purchase price for shares under the DRIP will initially be offered at $9.50 per share for up to 18 months subsequent to the close of our last public offering of shares prior to a listing. We stopped offering shares in our follow-on offering on February 28, 2011 and, therefore, we currently anticipate that to the extent required and applicable to us, we will establish a per share valuation for our shares by August 28, 2012. After we publish such valuation, under the amended DRIP participants may acquire shares at 95% of the per share valuation determined by the Company or an independent valuation firm chosen for that purpose until a listing. From and after the date of a listing, participants may acquire shares at a price equal to 100% of the average daily open and close price per share on the distribution payment date, as reported by the national securities exchange on which the shares are traded.

Share Repurchase Plan
Our board of directors has approved a share repurchase plan. On August 24, 2006, we received SEC exemptive relief from rules restricting issuer purchases during distributions. The share repurchase plan allows for share repurchases by us when certain criteria are met by the requesting stockholders. Share repurchases will be made at the sole discretion of our board of directors. On November 24, 2010, we, with the approval of our board of directors, elected to amend and restate our share repurchase plan. From and after the first calendar quarter of 2011, we expect to fund a maximum of $10 million of share repurchase requests per quarter, subject to available funding and subject to our right to suspend or terminate the plan. Funds for the repurchase of shares of our common stock will come exclusively from the proceeds we receive from the sale of shares of our common stock under the DRIP. In addition, with the termination of our follow-on offering on February 28, 2011, except for the DRIP, we are conducting an ongoing review of potential alternatives for our share repurchase plan, including the suspension or termination of the plan.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we repurchased 1,010,843 shares of our common stock, at an average price of $9.81 per share, for an aggregate amount of $9,916,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we repurchased 821,848 shares of our common stock, at an average price of $9.63 per share, for an aggregate amount of $7,916,000. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had repurchased a total of 12,181,481 shares of our common stock, at an average price of $9.59 per share, for an aggregate amount of $116,795,000 and 11,170,638 shares of our common stock, at an average price of $9.57 per share, for an aggregate amount of $106,879,000, respectively.
Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan and 2006 Independent Directors Compensation Plan
The Company's Amended and Restated 2006 Plan permits the grant of incentive awards to our employees, officers, non-employee directors, and consultants as selected by our board or the compensation committee. Our philosophy regarding compensation is to structure employee compensation to promote and reward performance-based behavior, which results in risk-managed, added value to our company and stockholders. The plan is designed to provide maximum flexibility to our company consistent with our current size, the stage of our life cycle, and our overall strategic plan.
The Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan authorizes the granting of awards in any of the following forms: options; stock appreciation rights; restricted stock; restricted or deferred stock units; performance awards; dividend equivalents; other stock-based awards; including units in operating partnership; and cash-based awards. Subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock reserved and available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan is 10,000,000. As of March 31, 2012, there were 8,649,000 shares available for grant under the plan.
The fair value of each share of restricted common stock and restricted common stock unit that has been granted under the plan is estimated at the date of grant at $10.00 per share, the per share price of shares in our initial and follow-on offerings, and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Shares of restricted common stock and restricted common stock units may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered. Such restrictions expire upon vesting. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized compensation expense of $1,002,000 and $897,000, respectively, related to the restricted common stock grants. Such compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses in our accompanying interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. Shares of restricted common stock have full voting rights and rights to dividends. Shares of restricted common stock units do not have voting rights or rights to dividends.
A portion of our awards may be paid in cash in lieu of stock in accordance with the respective employment agreement and vesting schedule of such awards. These awards are revalued every reporting period end with the cash redemption liability reflected on our consolidated balance sheets, if material. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 50,000 shares and 25,000 shares, respectively, were settled in cash.
As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was approximately $5,480,000 and $3,962,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units. As of March 31, 2012, this expense is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.5 years.

15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement and most of the provisions were effective for our consolidated financial statements beginning January 1, 2008.
Fair value is defined by ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect our assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, or ASC 825, requires disclosure of fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements.
We use fair value measurements to record fair value of certain assets and to estimate fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value but required to be disclosed at fair value.
Financial Instruments Reported at Fair Value
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We invest in money market funds which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities.

Derivative Financial Instruments
Currently, we use interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to manage interest rate risk associated with floating rate debt. The valuation of these instruments is determined by a third-party expert using a proprietary model that utilizes widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative, and observable inputs. As such, we classify these inputs as Level 2 inputs. The proprietary model reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our interest rate swap and interest rate cap derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with these instruments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2012, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our interest rate swap and interest rate cap derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to their overall valuation. As a result, we have determined that our interest rate swap and interest rate cap derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The earnout liability is associated with a property that was purchased in the third quarter of 2010, which is subject to an earnout provision contingent on the future leasing and occupancy of the vacant space. The liability is valued based on our judgment as to the probability of the predetermined formula obligating us to pay additional consideration to the seller over a 24 month period that expires on August 4, 2012. We determined the probability of occurrence to be 100%. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we paid the seller $328,000 which decreased fair value of the liability from $2,481,000 to $2,153,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, there was no change in the fair value of the liability.
Financial Instruments Disclosed at Fair Value
ASC 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet. Fair value is defined under ASC 820.
Our accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: real estate notes receivable, net, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, net, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, mortgage loans payable, net, and borrowings under the credit facility.
We consider the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, net, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities to approximate fair value for these financial instruments because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. All of these financial instruments are considered level two.
The fair value of the mortgage loans payable and unsecured term loan is estimated using borrowing rates available to us with similar terms and maturities. As of March 31, 2012, the fair value of the mortgage loans payable and unsecured term loan was $893,620,000 compared to the carrying value of $836,466,000. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of the mortgage loans payable was $687,862,000 compared to the carrying value of $639,149,000. All of these financial instruments are considered level two.
The fair value of the notes receivable is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows on the notes at current rates at which management believes similar loans would be made. As of March 31, 2012, the fair value of these notes was $63,804,000 as compared to the carrying value of $57,431,000. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of these notes $64,046,000 as compared to the carrying value of $57,459,000. All of these financial instruments are considered level two.

16. Per Share Data
We report (losses) earnings per share pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, or ASC 260. We include unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as “participating securities” in the computation of basic and diluted (loss) income per share pursuant to the two-class method as described in ASC 260. We have two classes of common stock for purposes of calculating our earnings per share. These classes are our common stock and our restricted stock. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, all of our earnings were distributed and the calculated (losses) earnings per share amount would be the same for both classes as they all have the same rights to distributed earnings.
Basic (losses) earnings per share attributable for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted (losses) earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of our common stock and all potentially dilutive securities, if any. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, 725,386 shares were excluded from the computation of diluted shares as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

17. Subsequent Events
The significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements are summarized below.
Share Repurchases
In April 2012, we repurchased 1,019,400 shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.79 per share, for an aggregate amount of $9,980,500, under our share repurchase plan.
Financing
In April and May 2012, we paid off $68,698,000 of various fixed and floating rate mortgage loans payable. The weighted average interest rate on these mortgage loans payable at March 31, 2012 was 5.97% per annum.

Distributions
On April 2, 2012, for the month ended March 31, 2012, we paid distributions of $14,179,000 ($7,681,000 in cash and $6,498,000 in shares of our common stock) pursuant to the DRIP.
On May 1, 2012, for the month ended April 30, 2012, we paid distributions of $13,701,000 ($7,432,000 in cash and $6,269,000 in shares of our common stock) pursuant to the DRIP.
On May 4, 2012, our board of directors authorized distributions for the month of May 2012. These distributions will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during each such month at a rate of $0.00198630 per share per day and will equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 7.25% annualized rate based on a share price of $10.00. These distributions will be paid in June 2012, in cash or reinvested in stock for those participating in the DRIP.
Note Receivable Extension
On May 1, 2012, we entered into amendments to extend the maturity dates of four of our notes receivable from May 1, 2012 to November 1, 2012. These notes, the aggregate principal balance of which is $20,000,000, are associated with the MacNeal Hospital Medical Office Buildings in Berwyn, Illinois and the St. Luke’s Medical Office Buildings in Phoenix, Arizona. The six-month extension on the maturity dates of these notes was granted in exchange for an aggregate extension fee of $50,000. We expect that we will collect the aggregate principal balance of these notes in full upon the maturity date of November 1, 2012.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The use of the words “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, except where the context otherwise requires.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as with the audited consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2012. Such interim condensed consolidated financial statements and information have been prepared to reflect our financial position as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, together with our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects and estimates regarding future medical office market performance. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the terms such as “expect,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential,” “pro forma” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
Any such forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events, are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, provide dividends to stockholders, and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered. The following factors, as well as any cautionary language in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, provide examples of certain risks, uncertainties and events that could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
changes in economic conditions affecting the healthcare property sector, the commercial real estate market and the credit market;
competition for acquisition of medical office buildings and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry;
economic fluctuations in certain states in which our property investments are geographically concentrated;
use of proceeds of this offering;
retention of our senior management team;
financial stability and solvency of our tenants;
supply and demand for operating properties in the market areas in which we operate;
our ability to acquire real properties, and to successfully operate those properties once acquired;

the factors included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K, including those set forth under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.
Forward-looking statements express expectations of future events. All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various expectations and assumptions concerning future events and they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected. Due to these inherent uncertainties, our stockholders are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to projections over time, except as required by law.
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning us and our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Overview
We are a fully integrated, self-administered and internally managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, primarily focused on acquiring, owning and operating high-quality medical office buildings that are predominantly located on or aligned with campuses of nationally or regionally recognized healthcare systems. We are one of the largest public REITs focused on medical office buildings in the United States based on gross leasable area, or GLA, and have strong industry relationships, a stable and diversified tenant mix and an extensive and active acquisition network. Our primary objective is to maximize stockholder value with disciplined growth through strategic investments and to provide an attractive risk-adjusted return for our stockholders by consistently increasing our cash flow. In pursuing this objective, we target mid-sized acquisitions of high-quality medical office buildings in markets with dominant healthcare systems, attractive demographics and that complement our existing portfolio, actively manage our balance sheet to maintain flexibility with conservative leverage, and seek internal growth through proactive asset management, leasing and property management oversight.
We invest primarily in high-quality medical office buildings in our target markets. We have acquired high-quality medical office buildings and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.5 billion through March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, our portfolio consisted of 245 medical office buildings and 19 other facilities that serve the healthcare industry, as well as two portfolios of mortgage loans receivable secured by medical office buildings. Our portfolio is comprised of approximately 12.4 million square feet of GLA, with an occupancy of approximately 91%, including leases we have executed, but which have not yet commenced. Approximately 96% of our portfolio, based on GLA, is located on or aligned with campuses of nationally or regionally recognized healthcare systems. Our portfolio is diversified geographically across 26 states, with no state having more than 11.0% of the total portfolio GLA as of March 31, 2012. We are concentrated in locations that we have determined to be strategic based on demographic trends and projected demand for medical office buildings and we expect to continue to invest in these markets. We have concentrations in the following key markets: Phoenix, Arizona; Greenville, South Carolina; Indianapolis, Indiana; Albany, New York; Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Dallas, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts; Raleigh, North Carolina and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Company Highlights
Portfolio Operating Performance
Normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, was $29.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase of $1.8 million, or 6.2%, compared to the same period in 2011 was driven by strength in leasing and continued focus on reducing operating expenses. Normalized FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of Normalized FFO to net (loss) income, see "Funds from Operations and Normalized Funds from Operations" below.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net operating income, or NOI, excluding the impact of lease termination revenue, increased 6.1%, or $2.8 million to $48.5 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of NOI to net income (loss), see "Net Operating Income" below.
Cash flows from operations were $26.1 million, an increase of $1.0 million, compared to the first quarter of 2011.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had a net loss of $0.3 million compared to net income of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This is due primarily to an increase in acquisition related expenses applicable to our acquisition of $214.2 million in medical office buildings in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $36.3 million acquired in the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Maximize Internal Growth through Proactive Asset Management, Leasing, and Property Management
The occupancy rate on our portfolio of properties, including leases that have been executed, but which have not yet commenced, was approximately 91% as of March 31, 2012. Tenant retention for the portfolio was above 90% this quarter, indicative of our commitment to maintaining high quality buildings in desirable locations and fostering strong tenant relationships.
Our portfolio of 12.4 million square feet of GLA is focused on strategically located on-campus medical office buildings in locations with high barriers to entry. As of March 31, 2012, approximately 96% of our portfolio, based on GLA, was located on or adjacent to, or anchored by the campuses of nationally and regionally recognized healthcare systems.
Investment grade rated tenants as a percent of annualized base rent has increased 1% over the past year, from 38% at March 31, 2011 to 39% at March 31, 2012 due partially to the acquisitions of the St. John Providence MOB and Penn Avenue Place in January 2012 and March 2012, respectively, as discussed below. We continue to focus on building relationships with strong tenants and health systems that are leaders in their markets. As of March 31, 2012, approximately 56% of our annualized base rent was derived from tenants that have (or whose parent companies have) a credit rating from a nationally recognized rating agency.
To establish more direct relationships and in an effort to reduce fees paid to third parties, we continue to focus on transitioning property management, leasing and construction management of our portfolio from third party teams to our internal teams. In the past year, we have focused on internalizing the property management of our largest markets, including Indiana, Arizona and South Carolina. We expected we will continue to transition other locations during 2012 to our in-house property management platform and anticipate having approximately 58% of our current portfolio's GLA, including the GLA acquired in the first quarter, managed internally by the end of the year.
Conservative Financial Strategy and Balance Sheet Flexibility
As of March 31, 2012, we had a flexible balance sheet with total assets of $2.5 billion, cash and cash equivalents of $35.1 million, and a leverage ratio of indebtedness to undepreciated assets of 30.4%.

Table of Contents


In March 2012, we entered into our new revolving credit agreement and term loan facility, consisting of a $575.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a $300.0 million unsecured term loan facility, which replaced our previous $575.0 million credit facility. The new facility can be increased by up to $175.0 million for an aggregate maximum principal amount of $1.05 billion, subject to certain conditions. Our new revolving credit agreement and term loan facility has a four-year term which expires on March 2016 and includes a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions.
As of March 31, 2012, our new revolving credit facility was undrawn and $100.0 million was available under our $300.0 million term loan facility, with each facility having approximately four years remaining until the initial maturity, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions. We believe our borrowing capacity under our new revolving credit and term loan facility as well as our access to other sources of debt and equity capital, while remaining within our low leverage range, should allow us to capitalize on favorable acquisition opportunities that arise.
Execution of Relationship-Focused Growth Strategy
On January 13, 2012, we completed the acquisition of St. John Providence MOB, an approximately 203,000 square foot on-campus medical office building located in Novi, Michigan, for $51.3 million. The St. John Providence MOB, which was 99% leased as of the date of acquisition, is connected directly to the Providence Park Hospital via an enclosed walkway. Providence Park Hospital is part of Ascension Health Systems (Moody's Investors Services rated Aa1).
On January 31, 2012, we completed the acquisition of an additional medical office building on the Camp Creek campus in Atlanta, Georgia, for $8.9 million. This building is approximately 30,000 square feet of GLA and is our third building in our Camp Creek portfolio; the other two buildings comprising this portfolio were purchased in the second quarter of 2010.
On March 1, 2012, we completed the acquisition of Penn Avenue Place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for a purchase price of $54.0 million. Penn Avenue Place is an eight story, approximately 558,000 square foot, Class A office building which was completely renovated in 1997. The building is approximately 99.6% occupied as of the date of acquisition and is anchored by Highmark, Inc. (Standard & Poor's Rating Service rated A) which renewed its lease for an additional 10-year term beginning on January 1, 2012. Highmark, Inc., which leases and occupies 92.4% of the building, is one of the largest Blue Cross affiliates in the nation.
On March 29, 2012, we completed the acquisition of the Steward Portfolio located in Boston, Massachusetts, for a purchase price of $100.0 million. This portfolio consists of 13 medical office buildings located on the campuses of Steward Care network. This portfolio is 100% master leased on a triple net basis by Steward Health Care System LLC until 2024 and totals approximately 372,000 square foot. Steward Healthcare system is the largest fully integrated community care organization in New England and is the third largest employer in Massachusetts.

Corporate Strategies
Achieve Growth through Targeted Acquisitions
We plan to continue to focus primarily on mid-sized acquisitions, in the $25 million to $75 million range, of high-quality medical office buildings in our target markets as noted above. We also have completed larger acquisitions from time to time and expect to continue to do so when attractive opportunities emerge. In particular, we seek properties that have the following attributes:
high occupancy and located on or aligned with campuses of recognized healthcare systems, which we believe provide for better tenant retention rates and rental rate growth as compared to facilities not affiliated with a healthcare system;
affiliated with top national and regional healthcare systems which are dominant in their respective markets, which we believe attract top physicians seeking healthcare systems, with significant market share and high credit quality;


29

Table of Contents

located in markets with attractive demographics and favorable regulatory environments in business friendly states or those with high barriers to entry;
a strategic mix of high-credit quality single-tenant buildings with long-term, triple-net leases and fixed rental increases and multi-tenant buildings with short-term leases; and
provide accretive returns based on our cost of capital.

Leverage and Expand Our Strategic Relationships to Generate New Opportunities
In order to access acquisition opportunities for our future growth, we plan to continue to emphasize building long-term relationships, cultivated by our senior management team with key industry participants, which have traditionally provided us with valuable sources of potential investment opportunities. We have significant relationships with large and nationally recognized healthcare systems such as Aurora Health, Banner Health, Catholic Healthcare Partners, Greenville Hospital System and Indiana University Health, among others. Through these relationships, we believe that we have developed a reputation of reliability, trustworthiness and high tenant satisfaction. In this regard, approximately 69% of our acquisitions from January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2012, based on purchase price, were sourced directly from hospitals and developers. We intend to continue building upon our existing relationships with healthcare systems to establish long-term lease arrangements, and to develop other strategic alignments with new healthcare systems.
Actively Maintain Strong, Flexible Capital Structure and Balance Sheet
We seek to actively manage our balance sheet to maintain conservative leverage and financing flexibility with carefully staged debt maturities, thereby positioning us to take advantage of strategic investment opportunities. We believe our borrowing capacity under our new revolving credit and term loan facility, as well as our access to other sources of debt and equity capital, while remaining within our targeted leverage range, should allow us to capitalize on favorable acquisition opportunities that arise. While we believe our new revolving credit and term loan facility will enable us to take advantage of acquisition opportunities on a short-term basis, we intend to take advantage of multiple sources of capital that we can use to effectively manage our long-term leverage strategy, repay our secured debt maturities, or finance future acquisition opportunities. These other sources of capital include unsecured public debt financing, additional equity issuances, unsecured bank loans, and secured property-level debt. Over the long-term, we intend to continue to focus on migrating our capital structure toward a higher volume of unsecured debt. We also will seek to maintain our investment grade credit ratings, which we first received in July 2011. We believe this is important to preserving our access to these capital sources on favorable terms. In addition, we may also pursue dispositions of properties that no longer align with our strategic objectives in order to redeploy capital.
Maximize Internal Growth through Proactive Asset Management, Leasing and Property Management Oversight
Our asset management strategy focuses on achieving internal growth through initiatives to lease vacant space and increase rental rates while maximizing operating efficiencies at our properties. Specific components of our overall strategy include:
migrating our properties toward our in-house property management platform in geographic areas where we have significant portfolio concentrations and can achieve the necessary scale (in particular, we are targeting approximately 58% of our existing portfolio to be managed internally by December 31, 2012);
leveraging and proactively partnering with recognized property management and leasing companies in markets where our in-house property management platform is not currently active;
increasing our average rental rates, maintaining or increasing renewal rates and actively leasing our vacant space;
improving the quality of service provided to tenants by being attentive to their needs, managing expenses, and strategically investing capital;
maintaining the high quality of our properties and building our reputation as a desirable recognized landlord;
maintaining regional offices in markets where we have a significant presence, which enables us to create closer relationships with national and regional healthcare systems and other tenants and better respond to their needs; and

30

Table of Contents

using market knowledge and economies of scale to continually reduce our operating costs.
We believe that we are well positioned for future rental growth in our medical office buildings. We believe that we will be able to generate cash flow growth through the leasing of vacant space in our medical office buildings as well as rent increases, particularly due to the limited supply of medical office space, the recovering economy and the general reluctance of medical office building tenants to move or relocate because of the desire to remain close to nationally or regionally affiliated healthcare systems. As of March 31, 2012, our buildings were approximately 91% leased, including leases we have executed, but which have not yet commenced.
Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations
We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally and those listed in Part II, Item 1A. of this report and those Risk Factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2012, that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the acquisition, management and operation of properties.
Rental Income
The amount of rental income generated by our operating properties depends principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space available from unscheduled lease terminations at the existing rental rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental income in future periods.
Acquisitions
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we completed three new portfolio acquisitions and expanded one of our existing portfolios through the purchase of an additional medical office building. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was $214.2 million, and they had a weighted average acquisition-day capitalization rate of 7.91%. Capitalization rates are calculated by dividing the property's estimated annualized first year net operating income, existing at the date of acquisition, by the contract purchase price of the property, excluding closing costs and acquisition expenses. Estimated first year net operating income on our real estate investments represents total estimated gross income (rental income, tenant reimbursements, and other property-related income) derived from the terms of in-place leases at the time we acquire the property, less property and related expenses (including property operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, property insurance, and management fees) based on the operating history of the property. Estimated first year net operating income on new acquisitions excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense from financings, depreciation and amortization, and our company-level general and administrative expenses. Historical operating income for these properties is not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
Offering Proceeds
With the termination of our follow-on offering as of February 28, 2011, except for the DRIP, we will use other means, such as debt financing, to finance our acquisition of additional real estate assets. To the extent our portfolio is not sufficiently diversified, we could have increased exposure to local and regional economic downturns and the poor performance of one or more of our properties and, therefore, expose our stockholders to increased risk.
General and Administrative Expenses
Some of our general and administrative expenses are fixed regardless of the size of our real estate portfolio. Therefore, we could spend a larger portion of our income on operating expenses. This would reduce our profitability and, in turn, the amount of net income available for distribution to our stockholders.
Scheduled Lease Expirations
As of March 31, 2012, the occupancy rate of our portfolio of properties, including leases signed, but which have not yet commenced, was 91%. Our leasing strategy for 2012 focuses on negotiating renewals for leases scheduled to expire during the remainder of the year. If we are unable to negotiate such renewals, we will seek to identify new tenants or collaborate with existing tenants who are seeking additional space to occupy. Of the leases expiring in 2012, we anticipate, but cannot provide assurance, that a majority of the tenants will renew for another term.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
Our operating results are primarily comprised of income derived from our portfolio of properties. As of March 31, 2012, we owned and operated 245 medical office buildings and 19 other facilities that serve the healthcare industry, comprised of 12.4 million square feet of GLA. As of March 31, 2011, we owned and operated 227 medical office buildings and 19 other facilities that serve the healthcare industry, comprised of 11.1 million square feet of GLA.
Rental Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, rental income attributable to our properties was $69.9 million and $69.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, rental income was primarily comprised of contractual rental income of $66.7 million, straight-line rent of $2.8 million and other operating revenue of $0.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, rental income was primarily comprised of contractual rental income of $63.9 million, straight-line rent of $3.8 million and other operating revenue of $1.5 million. The increase in rental income is due to the acquisition of additional buildings in our portfolio, partially offset by $1.3 million of revenue from lease terminations included in rental revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
The aggregate occupancy for our operating properties including leases we have executed, but which have not commenced was approximately 91% as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Rental Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, rental expenses attributable to our properties were $22.7 million and $23.9 million, respectively. Rental expense as a percentage of rental income was 32.5% and 34.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in rental expense is primarily due to bringing more of our properties into our regionally-focused property management platform with in-house property management personnel, partially offset by the increase in the number of buildings in our portfolio and real estate taxes.

 General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, general and administrative expenses were $8.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively. General and administrative expenses include such costs as salaries, share-based compensation expense, corporate office overhead, professional and legal fees, and investor services expense, among others. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased salaries and share-based compensation, due to the overall growth of the company.
Acquisition-Related Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, acquisition-related expenses attributable to our properties were $2.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Acquisition-related expenses were expensed as incurred for acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 in accordance with ASC 805 and relate specifically to the number of acquisitions in each period as discussed above. The increase in acquisition-related expenses is a result of the increased number of acquisitions completed during the three months ended months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, depreciation and amortization attributable to our properties was $27.4 million and $26.8 million, respectively. See Note 3, Real Estate Investments, Net to our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on depreciation of our properties. For information regarding the amortization recorded on our identified intangible assets and lease commissions, see Note 6, Identified Intangible Assets, Net, Note 7, Other Assets, Net and Note 11, Intangible Liabilities, Net, to our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization was due to the increase in our portfolio over the respective periods, as discussed above.

Interest Expense and Net Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, interest expense, which included the amortization of deferred financing costs and debt premium/discount, and net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments associated with our properties was $11.0 million and $9.8 million, respectively. Interest expense and net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments associated with our properties consisted of the following for the periods then ended:

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the increase in unused credit facility fees as a result of the increase in our unsecured credit facility from $275.0 million to $575.0 million in May 2011, and then to $875.0 million in March 2012.
Interest and Dividend Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, interest and dividend income was $27,000 as compared to $118,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which related primarily to interest earned on our operating or money market accounts for both periods.
Funds from Operations and Normalized Funds from Operations
We define funds from operations, or FFO, a non-GAAP measure, as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment write downs of depreciable assets, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income.
We compute FFO in accordance with the current standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. NAREIT recently issued updated reporting guidance that directs companies, for the computation of NAREIT FFO, to exclude impairments of depreciable real estate and impairments to investments in affiliates when write-downs are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the affiliate. FFO does not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay distributions.

33

Table of Contents

Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP have prompted a significant increase in the amount of non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. Therefore, we use normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, which excludes from FFO transition-related charges, acquisition-related expenses, net change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, lease termination fee revenue, escrow settlement revenue, and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs or prepayment penalties. Normalized FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to cash flows from operating activities and is not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Normalized FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

The following is the calculation of FFO and Normalized FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Net Operating Income
Net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, generated from our total portfolio of properties before interest expense, general and administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization, acquisition-related expenses, and interest and dividend income. We believe that net operating income provides an accurate measure of the operating performance of our operating assets because net operating income excludes certain items that are not associated with management of the properties. Additionally, we believe that net operating income is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. However, our use of the term net operating income may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are dependent upon the proceeds from our operating cash flows, the proceeds from debt, and the net proceeds from our offerings to conduct our activities. We stopped offering shares in our follow-on offering as of February 28, 2011. We continue to offer shares pursuant to our DRIP; however, we may terminate our DRIP at any time. We may also conduct additional public offerings of our common stock in the future. Our ability to raise funds is dependent on general economic conditions, general market conditions for REITs, and our operating performance. Our total capacity to purchase real estate and other related assets is a function of our current cash position, our borrowing capacity on our credit facility and from any future indebtedness that we may incur, and any possible future equity offerings. Because we are no longer receiving offering proceeds from our primary offering, we will rely on our operating cash flows and borrowings to fund our acquisitions and satisfy our other capital needs.
Our principal demands for funds continue to be for acquisitions of medical office buildings and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry, to pay operating expenses and principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, to repay our debt as appropriate, and to make distributions to our stockholders.
Generally, cash needs for items other than acquisitions of medical office buildings and other facilities that serve the healthcare industry continue to be met from operations and borrowings. We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the foreseeable future, including our requirements to meet our debt maturities coming due during the year ending December 31, 2012, and we do not anticipate a need to, though we may, raise funds from other than these sources within the next 12 months.
When we acquire a property, we prepare a capital plan that contemplates the estimated capital needs of that investment. In addition to operating expenses, capital needs may also include costs of refurbishment, tenant improvements or other major capital expenditures. The capital plan also sets forth the anticipated sources of the necessary capital, which may include a credit facility or other loan established with respect to the investment, operating cash generated by the investment, additional equity investments from us or joint venture partners or, when necessary, capital reserves. Any capital reserve would be established from the net proceeds of our offerings, proceeds from sales of other investments, operating cash generated by other investments, or other cash on hand. In some cases, a lender may require us to establish capital reserves for a particular investment. The capital plan for each investment will be adjusted through ongoing, regular reviews of our portfolio or as necessary to respond to unanticipated additional capital needs.
Other Liquidity Needs
In the event that there is a shortfall in net cash available due to various factors, including, without limitation, the timing of distributions or the timing of the collections of receivables, we may seek to obtain capital to pay distributions by means of secured or unsecured debt financing through one or more third parties or through offering proceeds, including DRIP proceeds. We may also pay distributions from cash from capital transactions, including, without limitation, the sale of one or more of our properties.

35

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2012, we estimate that our expenditures for capital improvements will require up to approximately $14.5 million for the coming nine months. As of March 31, 2012, we had $9.4 million of restricted cash in loan impounds and reserve accounts for such capital expenditures. We cannot provide assurance, however, that we will not exceed these estimated expenditure levels or be able to obtain additional sources of financing on commercially favorable terms or at all. As of March 31, 2012, we had $77.0 million of debt maturing during the last nine months of the year, of which $25.8 million was paid off in April and May 2012. We will use cash flows from operations, cash on hand and our unsecured revolving facility and term loan to fund these debt maturities. As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $35.1 million, full access to our unsecured revolving credit facility of $575.0 million and $100.0 million available under our $300.0 million unsecured term loan. Additionally, as of March 31, 2012, we had unencumbered properties with a gross book value of approximately $1.4 billion that may be used as collateral to secure additional financing in future periods or as additional collateral to facilitate the refinancing of current mortgage debt as it becomes due.
If we experience lower occupancy levels, reduced rental rates, reduced revenues as a result of asset sales, or increased capital expenditures and leasing costs compared to historical levels due to competitive market conditions for new and renewal leases, the effect would be a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities. If such a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities is realized, we may have a cash flow deficit in subsequent periods. Our estimate of net cash available is based on various assumptions which are difficult to predict, including the levels of leasing activity and related leasing costs. Any changes in these assumptions could impact our financial results and our ability to fund working capital and unanticipated cash needs.

Cash flows from operating activities primarily increased in 2012 due to the operating income from our 2011 acquisitions being fully reflected in our operations for 2012 and from our 2012 acquisitions. We anticipate cash flows from operating activities to continue to increase as we purchase more properties.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, cash flows used in investing activities related primarily to the acquisition of real estate properties in the amount of $213.9 million and capital expenditures of $6.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash flows used in investing activities related primarily to $29.7 million for the acquisitions of real estate properties. We anticipate cash flows used in investing activities to increase as we purchase more properties.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash flows from financing activities related primarily to borrowings on our unsecured term loan of $200.0 million, partially offset by distributions to our stockholders of $22.2 million, repurchase of common stock of $9.9 million and debt financing costs of $4.8 million associated with the new credit facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash flows provided by financing activities related primarily to funds raised from the issuance of common stock of $210.2 million and borrowings on our secured term loan of $125.5 million, partially offset by payments made on our unsecured revolving line of credit of $7.0 million and principal repayments of $103.5 million on mortgage loans payable. Additional cash outflows related to the payment of offering costs of $15.0 million for our offerings, repurchase of common stock of $7.9 million and distributions to our stockholders of $19.3 million.

Table of Contents

Distributions
In order to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other things, we must distribute at least 90.0% of our annual taxable income to our stockholders. The amount of distributions we pay to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors, at its sole discretion, and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for the payment of distributions, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Code, as well as any liquidity alternative we may pursue. We have paid distributions monthly since February 2007 and if our investments produce sufficient cash flow, we expect to continue to pay distributions to our stockholders on a monthly basis. However, our board of directors could, at any time, elect to pay distributions quarterly to reduce administrative costs. Because our cash available for distribution in any year may be less than 90.0% of our taxable income for the year, we may obtain the necessary funds by borrowing, issuing new securities or selling assets to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the distribution requirement. Our organizational documents do not establish a limit on the amount of any offering proceeds we may use to fund distributions.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the three months ended March 31, 2012, our board of directors authorized, and we declared and paid, monthly distributions to our stockholders, based on daily record dates, at a rate that would equal a 7.25% annualized rate, or $0.725 per common share based on a $10.00 per share price. It is our intent to continue to pay distributions. However, our board may reduce our distribution rate and we cannot guarantee the timing and amount of distributions paid in the future, if any.
If distributions are in excess of our taxable income, such distributions will result in a return of capital to our stockholders. Our distribution of amounts in excess of our taxable income has historically resulted in a return of capital to our stockholders.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we paid distributions to our stockholders of $41.5 million ($22.4 million in cash and $19.1 million in shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP), as compared to cash flow from operations of $26.1 million and funds from operations, or FFO, of $27.0 million (FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of FFO to net income (loss), see Funds from Operations and Normalized Funds from Operations). From inception through March 31, 2012, we paid cumulative distributions to our stockholders of $444.4 million ($232.1 million in cash and $212.3 million in shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP), as compared to cumulative cash flows from operations of $245.7 million and cumulative FFO of $250.8 million. The difference between our cumulative distributions paid and our cumulative cash flows from operations is indicative of our high volume of acquisitions completed since our date of inception. The distributions paid in excess of our cash flow from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were paid using offering proceeds.
Financing
We anticipate that our aggregate borrowings, both secured and unsecured, will approximate 30%-40% of all of our properties’ and mortgage loans receivables' combined fair market values, as determined at the end of each calendar year. For these purposes, the fair market value of each asset will be equal to the purchase price paid for the asset or, if the asset was appraised subsequent to the date of purchase, then the fair market value will be equal to the value reported in the most recent independent appraisal of the asset. Our policies do not limit the amount we may borrow with respect to any individual investment. As of March 31, 2012, our aggregate borrowings were 30.4% of undepreciated assets at March 31, 2012. Additionally, the $17.8 million of mortgage notes payable on various of our properties which will mature in 2012 have a one-year extension option available, and the $125.5 million secured real estate term loan, which matures in 2013, has two one-year extension options available.
Our charter precludes us, until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets, unless approved by a majority of our independent directors and the justification for such excess borrowing is disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report. For purposes of this determination, net assets are our total assets, other than intangibles, calculated at cost before deducting depreciation, bad debt, and other similar non-cash reserves, less total liabilities and computed at least quarterly on a consistently-applied basis. Generally, the preceding calculation is expected to approximate 75.0% of the sum of the aggregate cost of our real estate and mortgage loans receivable before depreciation, amortization, bad debt, and similar non-cash reserves. As of March 31, 2012, our leverage did not exceed 300% of the value of our net assets.

New Unsecured Credit Agreement
On March 29, 2012, we entered into our new revolving credit and term loan facility, consisting of a $575.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a $300.0 million unsecured term loan facility, which replaced our previous $575.0 million credit facility. The actual amount of credit available under our new credit and term loan facility is a function of certain loan to cost, loan to value, and debt service coverage ratios set forth in the new credit agreement. The new facility can be increased by up to $175.0 million for an aggregate maximum principal amount of $1.05 billion, subject to certain conditions. Our new revolving credit and term loan facility has a four-year term which expires on March 2016 and includes a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under this unsecured revolving credit facility accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.75% based on our operating partnership's credit rating. Borrowings under this unsecured term loan accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 2.25% based on our operating partnership's credit ratings. Our operating partnership also pays a facility fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.50% on the aggregate commitments under the unsecured revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2012, $200.0 million had been drawn on the unsecured term loan portion of the new credit agreement. See Note 10, Revolving Credit Facility, to our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, for further information regarding further information regarding our unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan.

The credit new agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are usual and customary for facilities and transactions of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of debt by us, our operating partnership and its subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets, limitations on the nature of our operating partnership's business, and limitations on distributions by our operating partnership and its subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets. Pursuant to the credit agreement, our operating partnership may not make cash distribution payments to us and we may not make cash distributions to our stockholders in excess of the greater of: (i) 100% of normalized adjusted FFO (as defined in the revolving credit and term loan facility) for the period of four quarters ending immediately prior to such distribution (subject to a stepdown to 95% of normalized adjusted FFO for any period of four quarters ending March 31, 2014 thereafter); and (ii) the minimum amount required to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Shares of our common stock issued under the DRIP are not subject to the limitation on distribution payments. Additionally, the credit agreement also imposes a number of financial covenants on us and our operating partnership, including: a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value; a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges; a minimum tangible net worth covenant; a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value; and a minimum ratio of unencumbered net operating income to interest expense on unsecured indebtedness. In addition, the revolving credit and term loan facility includes events of default that we believe are usual for facilities and transactions of this type, including restricting us from making distributions to our stockholders in the event we are in default under the revolving credit and term loan facility, except to the extent necessary for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
On March 29, 2012, we entered into an interest rate swap with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or Wells Fargo Bank as counterparty for a notional amount of $200.0 million, with a maturity date of March 29, 2017. The swap serves to fix our interest rate for this portion of the unsecured term loan at 3.075% for the next five years.
Secured Real Estate Term Loan

We have a senior secured real estate term loan in the amount of $125.5 million with Wells Fargo Bank. Interest is payable monthly at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.35%, which, as of March 31, 2012, equated to 2.60%. Including the impact of the interest rate swap discussed below, the weighted average rate associated with this term loan is 3.09%. The term loan matures on December 31, 2013 and includes two 12-month extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The loan agreement for the term loan includes customary financial covenants for loans of this type, including a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total assets, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, and a minimum level of tangible net worth. In addition, the term loan agreement for this secured term loan includes events of default that we believe are usual for loans and transactions of this type. The term loan is secured by 25 buildings within 12 property portfolios in 13 states and has a two year period in which no prepayment is permitted, which expires on March 1, 2013. Our operating partnership has guaranteed 25% of the principal balance and 100% of the interest under the term loan.
We have an interest rate swap with Wells Fargo Bank as counterparty for a notional amount of $75.0 million. The interest rate swap is secured by the pool of assets collateralizing the secured term loan. The effective date of the swap is February 1, 2011, and it matures no later than December 31, 2013. The swap serves to fix one-month LIBOR at 1.0725%, which when added to the spread of 2.35%, results in a total interest rate of approximately 3.42% for $75.0 million of the term loan during the initial term.

REIT Requirements

We have entered into a Closing Agreement with the IRS pursuant to which (i) IRS agreed not to challenge certain payments pursuant to our DRIP and payments of certain IRA custodial fees made from 2007 through 2010 as creating preferential dividends for our taxable years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 as a result of the matters described above, and (ii) we paid a compliance fee in an immaterial amount, to the IRS. In accordance with the terms of the Closing Agreement, any reimbursement to us for payment of this compliance fee will be considered gross income to us. As a result of the Closing Agreement, we continue to qualify as a REIT to satisfy our distribution requirements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The complete listing of our Critical Accounting Policies was previously disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2012, and there have been no material changes to our Critical Accounting Policies as disclosed therein.
Interim Unaudited Financial Data
Our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with GAAP in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such results may be less favorable. Our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2012.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, to our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Commitments and Contingencies
See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, for a further discussion of our commitments and contingencies.
Debt Service Requirements
One of our principal liquidity needs is the payment of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness. As of March 31, 2012, we had fixed and variable rate mortgage loans payable and our secured real estate term loan outstanding in the principal amount of $636.5 million, including a premium of $2.5 million. We are required by the terms of the applicable loan documents to meet certain financial covenants, such as minimum net worth and liquidity amount, and reporting requirements. As of March 31, 2012, we believe that we were in compliance with all such covenants and requirements on our mortgage loans payable and term loan.
As of March 31, 2012, the outstanding balances on our new unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan were zero and $200.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, we believe that we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements under our new credit agreement.
As March 31, 2012, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 4.33% per annum.
In April and May 2012, we paid off a total of $68.7 million of the principal balances on our mortgage loans payable. These payments were primarily funded by draws on our unsecured revolving credit facility in April and May 2012, of $40.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively. See Note 17, Subsequent Events, to our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, for a further discussion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2012, we had no off-balance sheet transactions, nor do we currently have any such arrangements or obligations.
Inflation
We are exposed to inflation risk as income from future long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions include rent escalations, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot allowance. However, due to the long-term nature of the leases, among other factors, the leases may not re-set frequently enough to cover inflation.
Subsequent Events
See Note 17, Subsequent Events, to our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, for a further discussion of our subsequent events.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There were no material changes in the information regarding market risk that was provided in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2012, other than the updates discussed within this item.
The table below presents, as of March 31, 2012, the principal amounts and weighted average interest rates excluding the impact of interest rate swaps by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Mortgage loans, secured term loan, unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan payable were $834.0 million ($836.5 million, including premium) as of March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, we had fixed and variable rate debt with effective interest rates ranging from 1.74% to 12.75% per annum and a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.33% per annum. We had $459.3 million ($461.7 million, including premium) of fixed rate debt, or 55.1% of total debt, at a weighted average interest rate of 6.02% per annum and $374.7 million of variable rate debt, or 44.9% of total debt, at a weighted average interest rate of 2.26% per annum as of March 31, 2012.
In April and May 2012, we paid off a total of $68.7 million of the principal balances on our mortgage loans payable.

See Note 17, Subsequent Events, to our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, for a further discussion.
As of March 31, 2012, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $517.5 million and the fair value of our variable interest rate debt was $376.1 million.

As of March 31, 2012, we had fixed rate interest rate swaps or caps on four of our variable mortgage loans and unsecured term loan, thereby effectively fixing our interest rate on those mortgage and unsecured term loans payable.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our future properties is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of tenants, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who serves as our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we necessarily were required to apply our judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that we adopt outweigh their costs.
As of March 31, 2012, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2012, we were not involved in any such material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are no other material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2012, however, we have updated the following risk factors:

Our property investments are geographically concentrated in certain states and subject to economic fluctuations in those states.
As of March 31, 2012, we had interests in 26 buildings located in Texas, which accounted for 14% of total annualized rental income, interests in 44 buildings in Arizona, which accounted for 11% of our total annualized rental income, interests in 22 buildings located in South Carolina, which accounted for 9% of our total annualized rental income, interests in four buildings in Pennsylvania, which accounted for 9% of our total annualized rental income, interests in 20 buildings in Florida, which accounted for 8% of our total annualized rental income, interests in 44 buildings in Indiana, which accounted for 8% of our total annualized rental income, interests in eight buildings in New York, which accounted for 7% of our total annualized rental income, and interests in 13 buildings in Georgia, which accounted for 6% of our total annualized rental income. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and ability to make distributions to our stockholders could be disproportionately affected by an economic downturn or other events affecting the economies in these states.
Recently enacted comprehensive healthcare reform legislation could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders.
On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and on March 30, 2010, the President signed into law the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, or the Reconciliation Act, which in part modified the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Together, the two laws serve as the primary vehicle for comprehensive healthcare reform in the United States and will become effective through a phased approach, which began in 2010 and will conclude in 2018. The laws are intended to reduce the number of individuals in the United States without health insurance and significantly change the means by which healthcare is organized, delivered and reimbursed. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act includes program integrity provisions that both create new authorities and expand existing authorities for federal and state governments to address fraud, waste and abuse in federal healthcare programs. In addition, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act expands reporting requirements and responsibilities related to facility ownership and management, patient safety and care quality. In the ordinary course of their businesses, our tenants may be regularly subjected to inquiries, investigations and audits by federal and state agencies that oversee these laws and regulations. If they do not comply with the additional reporting requirements and responsibilities, our tenants' ability to participate in federal healthcare programs may be adversely affected. Moreover, there may be other aspects of the comprehensive healthcare reform legislation for which regulations have not yet been adopted, which, depending on how they are implemented, could adversely affect our tenants and their ability to meet their lease obligations. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the constitutionality of the two laws in 2012. The U.S. Supreme Court will consider four issues: (1) whether the “individual mandate”-the requirement that all individuals purchase some form of health insurance-is constitutional; (2) if the individual mandate is found unconstitutional, whether it is severable from the remainder of the two laws; (3) whether the laws' requirement that states expand Medicaid eligibility or risk losing federal funds is constitutional; and (4) whether the individual mandate is a tax for purposes of the Anti-Injunction Act, meaning that plaintiffs seeking to challenge the requirement must wait until it takes effect in 2014. It is difficult to predict the impact of these laws on us due to their complexity, lack of implementing regulations or interpretive guidance, the pending Supreme Court challenge, gradual implementation and possible amendment or repeal, as well as our inability to foresee how individuals and businesses will respond to the choices afforded them by the law. Because of the many variables involved, we are unable to predict how these laws may impact the operations of our tenants or the net effect of these laws on us, and may be adversely affected.
