The mortgage notes payable balances include the unamortized debt premiums (discounts). Debt premiums (discounts) represent the excess (deficiency) of the fair value of debt over (under) the principal value of debt assumed in various acquisitions and are amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt in a manner that approximates the effective interest method.
  • Debt premiums (discounts) consist of the following:

The interest rate disclosed represents the effective interest rate, including the debt premiums (discounts) and deferred finance costs.

(3)
The monthly debt service represents the payment of principal and interest.

(4)
The maturity date assumes that all extension options are fully exercised and that the Company does not opt to refinance the debt prior to these dates. These extension options are at the Company's discretion, subject to certain conditions, which the Company believes will be met.

(5)
A 49.9% interest in the loan has been assumed by a third party in connection with a co-venture arrangement (See Note 12—Co-Venture Arrangement).

(6)
On March 23, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $25,885 and modified the loan to bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% with a maturity of March 1, 2017. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total interest rate was 3.12% and 7.0%, respectively.

(7)
The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% and matures on July 10, 2012 with an additional one-year extension option. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total interest rate was 2.24% and 2.26%, respectively.

(10)
As of December 1, 2011, the loan was in maturity default. The Company is negotiating with the lender and the outcome is uncertain at this time. The loan is nonrecourse to the Company.

(11)
The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.0% with a LIBOR rate floor of 0.50% and matures on December 30, 2013. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total interest rate was 5.21%.

(12)
The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.10% and matures on June 13, 2012, with a one-year extension option. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total interest rate was 2.66% and 2.69%, respectively.

On July 15, 2010, a court appointed receiver assumed operational control and managerial responsibility for the property. On April 23, 2012, the property was sold by the receiver. As a result, the Company was discharged from the related non-recourse loan and the loan was included in liabilities on assets held for sale at March 31, 2012 (See Note 16—Discontinued Operations).
(16)
The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.60% and matures on May 6, 2012, with a one-year extension option. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total interest rate was 2.10% and 2.13%, respectively.

(18)
The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% and matures on June 5, 2012 with a one-year extension option. The loan is covered by an interest rate cap agreement that effectively prevents LIBOR from exceeding 5.50% over the loan term. See Note 5—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

(19)

As additional collateral for the loan, the Company is required to maintain a deposit of $40,000 with the lender, which has been included in restricted cash. The interest on the deposit is not restricted. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total interest rate was 1.25% and 1.28%, respectively.

        Most of the mortgage loan agreements contain a prepayment penalty provision for the early extinguishment of the debt.

        The Company expects that all loan maturities during the next twelve months, except Prescott Gateway, will be refinanced, restructured, extended and/or paid-off from the Company's line of credit or with cash on hand.

        Total interest expense capitalized was $2,353 and $3,335 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        Related party mortgage notes payable are amounts due to affiliates of NML. See Note 18—Related-Party Transactions for interest expense associated with loans from NML.

        The fair value of mortgage notes payable at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $3,505,144 and $3,477,483, respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable loans. The method for computing fair value (Level 2 measurement) was determined using a present value model and an interest rate that included a credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the property that serves as collateral for the underlying debt.
