Non-consolidated REITs

The Company has in the past acquired by merger entities similar to the Sponsored REITs. The Company’s business model for growth includes the potential acquisition by merger in the future of Sponsored REITs. However, the Company has no legal or any other enforceable obligation to acquire or to offer to acquire any Sponsored REIT. In addition, any offer (and the related terms and conditions) that might be made in the future to acquire any Sponsored REIT would require the approval of the boards of directors of the Company and the Sponsored REIT and the approval of the shareholders of the Sponsored REIT.

Management fees and interest income from loans:

Asset management fees range from 1% to 5% of collected rents and the applicable contracts are cancelable with 30 days notice. Asset management fee income from non-consolidated entities amounted to approximately $1,078,000, $1,149,000 and $958,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

From time to time the Company may make secured loans (“Sponsored REIT Loans”) to Sponsored REITs in the form of mortgage loans or revolving lines of credit to fund construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs and for other purposes. The Company anticipates that each Sponsored REIT Loan will be repaid at maturity or earlier from long term financings of the underlying properties, cash flows from the underlying properties or some other capital event. Each Sponsored REIT Loan is secured by a mortgage on the underlying property and has a term of approximately two to three years. Except for the mortgage loan with a revolving line of credit component which bore interest at a fixed rate and was repaid in July 2012 and a mortgage loan which bears interest at a fixed rate, advances under each Sponsored REIT Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus an agreed upon amount of basis points and most advances also require a 50 basis point draw fee. In December 2011, the Company received a loan fee of $762,000 at the time of the closing of the mortgage loan with a revolving line of credit component. In March 2012, a $300,000 fee was collected in connection with a $30 million draw from the revolving line of credit component. That loan was repaid in full during July 2012 and also included a 0.49% fee collected of $520,000. In July 2012, the Company received a loan fee of $301,000 at the time of the closing of the mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate and a 0.98% fee will be collected on all amounts repaid under the loan.

Prior to terminating the activities of its investment banking segment in December 2011, the Company typically made an acquisition loan (“Acquisition Loans”) to each newly-formed Sponsored REIT which was secured by a mortgage on the borrower’s real estate. These loans enabled Sponsored REITs to acquire their respective properties prior to the consummation of the offerings of their equity interests. The Company anticipated that each Acquisition Loan would be repaid at maturity, or earlier, from the proceeds of the Sponsored REIT’s equity offering. Each Acquisition Loan had an original term of two years and bore interest at approximately the same rate paid by FSP Corp. for borrowings under its 2011 Revolver or previous revolving lines of credit. The Company made one Acquisition Loan for the syndication of FSP Union Centre Corp. during 2011, which was repaid on October 20, 2011. There were no Acquisition Loans outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
