1. Overview

Organization and Description of Business
Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT).  The terms “us,” “we” and “our” as used in these financial statements refer to Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  Through our interest in Douglas Emmett Properties, LP (our operating partnership) and its subsidiaries, as well as our investment in our unconsolidated real estate funds, we own or partially own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate, consisting primarily of office and multifamily properties.  As of June 30, 2010, we own a consolidated portfolio of 50 office properties (including ancillary retail space) and nine multifamily properties, as well as the fee interests in two parcels of land subject to ground leases.  We also manage six properties owned by our unconsolidated institutional real estate funds as part of our total portfolio, with a combined 56 office properties.  All of these properties are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii.

We are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Our presence in Los Angeles and Honolulu is the result of a consistent and focused strategy of identifying submarkets that are supply constrained, have high barriers to entry and typically exhibit strong economic characteristics such as population and job growth and a diverse economic base.  In our office portfolio, we focus primarily on owning and acquiring a substantial share of top-tier office properties within submarkets located near high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities. In our multifamily portfolio, we focus primarily on owning and acquiring select properties at premier locations within these same submarkets.  Our properties are concentrated in nine premier Los Angeles County submarkets—Brentwood, Olympic Corridor, Century City, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Westwood, Sherman Oaks/Encino, Warner Center/Woodland Hills and Burbank—as well as in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and our subsidiaries including our operating partnership.  As described in Note 2 below, the results of the six properties we acquired in March 2008 were included in our consolidated results until the end of February 2009, when we completed the transaction to contribute these properties to an unconsolidated institutional real estate fund we manage in return for an equity interest.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading.  The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and notes thereto.  Any reference to the number of properties and square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions, for example with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquisitions among land, buildings, improvements, equipment and any related intangible assets and liabilities.  These estimates and assumptions are subjective and affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

2. Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Transfers

On June 29, 2010, we acquired Bishop Square, an office project containing approximately 960,000 square feet located in Honolulu, Hawaii for a contract price of $232 million.  Bishop Square is the largest office project in the state of Hawaii, and is comprised of two Class A office towers, an above-ground parking structure and a one-acre park.
 
The results of operations for each of the acquired properties are included in our consolidated statements of operations only from the date of acquisition.  We acquired this building near the end of the quarter, and as such, the following table represents our preliminary purchase price allocation.  These amounts are likely to change based on a more thorough calculation to be performed during the one-year purchase accounting period provided under the relevant accounting standards.  We did not acquire any properties during the first six months of 2009.

Accounts payable, accrued expenses and tenant security deposits
    (1,015 )
Acquired lease intangibles
    455  
Net assets acquired
  $ 229,571  
 
 
During the fourth quarter of 2008, we contributed a portfolio of six Class A office properties and the related $365 million term loan secured by the six properties to an unconsolidated institutional real estate fund we manage.  See also Note 13. In exchange, we received an interest in the common equity of that fund.  Because the net value of the contributed properties (as valued under the fund’s operating agreement) exceeded our required capital contribution, the fund distributed cash to us for the excess. We received part of the cash in October 2008 and the remainder at the end of February 2009, at which point the fund became an unconsolidated real estate fund in which we retained an equity investment.  We recognized a gain of $5,573 on the disposition of the interest in the fund we did not retain.

The results of operations for the contributed properties are included in our consolidated statement of operations only until the end of February 2009, when the properties were deconsolidated from our financial statements.  Beginning in February 2009, we have accounted for our interest in the fund under the equity method.

3. Segment Reporting

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. We operate in two business segments: (i) the acquisition, redevelopment, ownership and management of office real estate and (ii) the acquisition, redevelopment, ownership and management of multifamily real estate.  The products for our office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. The products for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental.

Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance and make decisions to allocate resources.  Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments.  Interest and other income, management services, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and net derivative gains and losses are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

Segment profit is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, and it is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.  Not all companies may calculate segment profit in the same manner.  We consider segment profit to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our properties.

The following table represents operating activity within our reportable segments:

8. Interest Rate Contracts

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
We manage our interest rate risk associated with borrowings by obtaining interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts.  Our objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks.  To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our cash flow hedging strategy to convert our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense and cash flows.  These agreements involve the receipt of floating-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to hedge certain economic risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply, or for which we elect to not apply hedge accounting.  We do not use any other derivative instruments.

As of June 30, 2010, approximately 95% of our outstanding debt had interest payments designated as hedged transactions to receive-floating/pay-fixed interest rate swap agreements, which qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges.  In June  2010, we entered into a new interest rate swap with a notional value of $400 million, an effective date of September 1, 2010 and maturity date of July 1, 2015 that fixes one-month floating rate LIBOR at 2.446% during such period.  The swap is intended to effectively fix the floating rate of a forecasted borrowing.  The totals of our existing swaps are as follows:

Interest Rate Derivative
Number of Instruments (Actual)
Notional
Interest Rate Swaps
37
$3,640,000


Non-designated Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative.  Prior to the initial public offering (IPO) of Douglas Emmett, Inc., we entered into $2.2 billion notional of pay-fixed swaps at swap rates ranging between 4.04% and 5.00%, as well as $600 million of purchased caps to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks.  At the time of our IPO, we entered into offsetting $2.2 billion notional of receive-fixed swaps at swap rates ranging between 4.96% and 5.00%, as well as $600 million of sold caps, which were intended to largely offset the future cash flows and future change in fair value of our pre-IPO pay-fixed swaps and purchased caps to reduce the effect on our reported earnings.  Accordingly, as of June 30, 2010, we had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were not designated for accounting purposes as hedging instruments, but were used to hedge our economic exposure to interest rate risk:

Interest Rate Derivative
Number of Instruments (Actual)
Notional
Pay-Fixed Swaps
25
$2,205,000
Receive-Fixed Swaps
25
$2,205,000
Purchased Caps
19
$600,000
Sold Caps
15
$600,000

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision under which we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations if we default on any of our indebtedness, including any default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender.  We have agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision under which, if we fail to maintain a minimum cash and cash equivalents balance of $1 million, then the derivative counterparty would have the right to terminate the derivative.  There have been no events of default on any of our derivatives.

As of June 30, 2010, the fair value of derivatives, aggregated by counterparty, in a net liability position was $117 million, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements.

Accounting for Interest Rate Contracts
Hedge accounting generally provides for the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument to match the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.  All other changes in fair value, with the exception of hedge ineffectiveness, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a component of equity outside of earnings.  Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives designated as accounting hedges will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our hedged variable-rate debt.  The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings as interest expense.  We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.  For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized directly in earnings as interest expense.

Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, we estimate an additional $85.0 million will be reclassified within the next 12 months from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense as an increase to interest expense.

The following table represents the effect of derivative instruments on our consolidated statements of operations:

Fair Value Measurement
We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, using the framework for measuring fair value established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The fair value of these hedges is obtained through independent third-party valuation sources that use conventional valuation algorithms. The following table represents the fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2010:


   
June 30, 2010
   
December 31, 2009
 
Derivative assets, disclosed as "Interest Rate Contracts":
           
Derivatives designated as accounting hedges

Derivatives not designated as accounting hedges
    57,552       84,696  
Total derivative liabilities
  $ 174,566     $ 237,194  


The FASB has established a framework for measuring fair value which uses a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  The FASB established a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-based inputs.  Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable assumptions generated by the reporting entity.

Currently, we use interest rate swaps and caps to manage interest rate risk resulting from variable interest payments on our floating rate debt.  The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.

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 considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.  We have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  We did not have any fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2010.

The table below presents the derivative assets and liabilities, presented in our financial statements on a gross basis without reflecting any net settlement positions with the same counterparty.  The derivatives shown below were measured at fair value as of June 30, 2010 and aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

9. Stockholders’ Equity

Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests in our operating partnership relate to interests in the partnership that are not owned by us.  Noncontrolling interests represented approximately 21% of our operating partnership at June 30, 2010.  A unit in our operating partnership and a share of our common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of our operating partnership.  Investors who own units in our operating partnership have the right to cause our operating partnership to redeem any or all of their units in our operating partnership for cash equal to the then-current market value of one share of common stock, or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Noncontrolling interests also includes the interest of a minority partner in a joint venture formed to purchase an office building in Honolulu, Hawaii.  The joint venture is two-thirds owned by our operating partnership and is consolidated in our financial statements as of June 30, 2010.

Dividends
During each quarter for the first six months of 2010 and 2009, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, equal to an annualized rate of $0.40 per share in both periods.

Taxability of Dividends
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, may differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal income tax purposes in the treatment of loss on extinguishment of debt, revenue recognition, compensation expense and in the basis of depreciable assets and estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.

During the first quarter of 2010, we granted approximately 1.6 million long-term incentive units and stock options with a total fair market value of $9.2 million.  The 2010 grant included $3.6 million of immediately-vested equity awards granted to satisfy a portion of the bonuses accrued during 2009, with the remainder subject to vesting.  During the first quarter of 2009, we granted approximately 3.6 million long-term incentive units and stock options with a total fair market value of $6.5 million.  The 2009 grant included $1.4 million of immediately-vested equity awards granted to satisfy a portion of the bonuses accrued during 2008, with the remainder subject to vesting.  No additional grants were made during the first six months of 2010 or 2009.  We recognized non-cash compensation expense upon vesting of equity awards, and accordingly recognized non-cash compensation expense of $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $2.8 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

10. Future Minimum Lease Receipts

 We lease space to tenants primarily under noncancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for a base rent plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses. Operating expense reimbursements are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as tenant recoveries.

We lease space to certain tenants under noncancelable leases that provide for percentage rents based upon tenant revenues. Percentage rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled $115 and $112, respectively, and $246 and $309 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Future minimum base rentals on our non-cancelable office and ground operating leases at June 30, 2010 were as follows:

Twelve months ending June 30:
2011
  $ 365,686
2012
    322,362
2013
    275,591
2014
    211,812
2015
    163,502
Thereafter
    419,801
Total future minimum base rentals
  $ 1,758,754

The above future minimum lease receipts exclude residential leases, which typically have a term of one year or less, as well as tenant reimbursements, amortization of deferred rent receivables and above/below-market lease intangibles. Some leases are subject to termination options, generally upon payment of a termination fee. The preceding table assumes that these options are not exercised.

11. Future Minimum Lease Payments

We currently lease portions of the land underlying two of our office properties. We have an ordinary purchase option on one of these two leases, which we may exercise at any time prior to May 31, 2014 for a purchase price of $27.5 million. We have the ability and intent to exercise this option, therefore the future minimum rent payments are excluded from the table below. We expensed ground lease payments in the amount of $543 and $543 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $1,082 and $1,056 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


The following is a schedule of our minimum ground lease payments as of June 30, 2010:

Twelve months ending June 30:
   
2011
  $ 733
2012
    733
2013
    733
2014
    733
2015

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments at June 30, 2010 were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, due from affiliates, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  We calculate the fair value of our secured notes payable based on a currently available market rate; assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral.  At June 30, 2010, the aggregate fair value of our secured notes payable and secured revolving credit facility was estimated to be approximately $3.4 billion, based on a credit-adjusted present value of the principal and interest payments that are at floating rates.

Currently, we use interest rate swaps and caps to manage interest rate risk resulting from variable interest payments on our floating rate debt.  These financial instruments are carried on our balance sheet at fair value based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  See Note 8.


13. Related Party Transactions

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we contributed a portfolio of six properties, the related $365 million term loan, and the benefits and burdens of the related interest-rate swap agreement to an institutional real estate fund we manage in exchange for an interest in the common equity of that fund, which became an unconsolidated equity investment in February 2009.  See Note 2 for further information.  We remain responsible under certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve outs under these loans, which we entered into prior to our contribution of this debt and the related properties to the fund, although we have an indemnity from the fund for any amounts we would be required to pay under these agreements.  If the fund fails to perform any obligations under the swap agreement, as a guarantor we remain liable to the swap counterparties.  The maximum future payments under the swap agreements was approximately $31.2 million as of June 30, 2010.  To date, all obligations under the swap agreements have been performed by the fund in accordance with the terms of the agreements.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance.  We believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Our properties are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate.  We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants for potential credit losses.  Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable and interest rate contracts. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Accounts at each U.S. banking institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250 thousand under the increased limit that the U.S. Congress has temporarily granted until December 31, 2013.  We have not experienced any losses to date on our deposited cash.  All of our deposits are maintained at banks with investment grade ratings as evaluated by the predominant rating agencies.

Asset Retirement Obligations
Conditional asset retirement obligations represent a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control.  A liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation must be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated.  Environmental site assessments and investigations have identified 20 properties in our consolidated portfolio containing asbestos, which would have to be removed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations if these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished.  As of June 30, 2010, the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties have indeterminable settlement dates, and therefore, we are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated conditional asset retirement obligation.
 
Tenant Concentrations
For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, no tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total rental revenue and tenant recoveries.

15. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, we consider short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC) commencing with our initial taxable year ending December 31, 2006.  To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the IRC relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. We are subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings we derive through our taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS). If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the IRC, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax.

In addition, we are subject to taxation by various state and local (and potentially foreign) jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or reside.  Our non-TRS subsidiaries, including our operating partnership, are either partnerships or disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes.  Under applicable federal and state income tax rules, the allocated share of net income or loss from disregarded entities (including limited partnerships and S-Corporations) is reportable in the income tax returns of the respective partners and stockholders.  Accordingly, no income tax provision is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.  Since we were in a net loss position during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, all potentially dilutive instruments are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from our computation of weighted average dilutive shares outstanding.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.  We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs.  Newly issued ASUs not listed below are expected to have no impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations, because either the ASU is not applicable or the impact is expected to be immaterial.

In January 2010, we adopted FASB guidance contained in ASU No. 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.  This standard requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether an enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity.  Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.  The adoption of ASU 2009-17 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  This guidance provides for new disclosures requiring us to (i) disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers and (ii) present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements.  This guidance also provides clarification of existing disclosures requiring us to (i) determine each class of assets and liabilities based on the nature and risks of the investments rather than by major security type and (ii) for each class of assets and liabilities, disclose the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements.  This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 for most of the new disclosures and for periods beginning after December 15, 2010 for the new Level 3 disclosures.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations as it only addresses disclosures.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.  This standard amends the authoritative guidance for subsequent events that was previously issued and, among other things, exempts SEC registrants from the requirement to disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events for either original or restated financial statements.  This standard does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other applicable GAAP that provides different guidance on the accounting treatment for subsequent events or transactions. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations as it only addresses disclosures.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements.
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Report) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).  You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Report.  We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Report, or those that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on our beliefs and assumptions.  The actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control or ability to predict.  Although we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, they are not guarantees of future performance and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect.  As a result, our actual future results can be expected to differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material.  Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on previously reported forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following: adverse economic or real estate developments in Southern California and Honolulu; a general downturn in the economy, such as the current global financial crisis; decreased rental rates or increased tenant incentive and vacancy rates; defaults on, early termination of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants; increased interest rates and operating costs; failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness; difficulties in raising capital for our institutional funds; difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions; failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations; failure to maintain our status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; possible adverse changes in rent control laws and regulations; environmental uncertainties; risks related to natural disasters; lack or insufficient amount of insurance; inability to successfully expand into new markets and submarkets; risks associated with property development; conflicts of interest with our officers; changes in real estate zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates; and the consequences of any possible future terrorist attacks. For further discussion of these and other factors, see “Item 1A.  Risk Factors” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This Report and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.  We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events, for example with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings, improvements, equipment, and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties.  These determinations, even though inherently subjective and prone to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  While we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time they are made, some of our assumptions, estimates and judgments will inevitably prove to be incorrect.  As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our accruals, and those differences—positive or negative—could be material.  Some of our accruals are subject to adjustment, as we believe appropriate based on revised estimates and reconciliation to the actual results when available.

In addition, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  We have not made any material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this Report.

Historical Results of Operations

Overview

Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 consists of the rental operations for 49 office properties and nine multifamily properties that we owned during both comparable periods as well as the seven office properties that were owned for less than both comparable periods.  These seven properties include the one office property we acquired during the second quarter of 2010 and the six office properties that were contributed during the first quarter of 2009 to an institutional real estate fund that we manage and in which we own an equity interest. The results of these six contributed properties are included only through the end of February 2009, when that fund was deconsolidated, and thereafter only to the extent of equity income or loss from our investment in that fund.

 
Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2010 to three months ended June 30, 2009

Revenues

Total Office Revenue.  Total office revenue consists of rental revenue, tenant recoveries and parking and other income.  For the reasons described below, total office revenue decreased by $0.5 million, or 0.4%, to $122.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $122.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Office Rental Revenue.  Rental revenue includes rental revenues from our office properties, percentage rent on the retail space contained within office properties, and lease termination income.  Total office rental revenue decreased by $0.5 million, or 0.5%, to $98.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $99.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to lower accretion of net below-market rents.  Each of the leases in place at the time of our initial public offering (IPO) was adjusted to then-market rates.  As we progress further from the IPO date, the maturity and expiration of these leases will result in lower comparable rent adjustments.

Tenant Recoveries.  Total office tenant recoveries increased by $0.6 million, or 8.1%, to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase was primarily due to the completion of 2009 CAM reconciliations at many properties during the second quarter of 2010, and the corresponding recognition of incremental amounts due, as well as an increase in current year recoverable utilities and scheduled services.

Parking and Other Income.  Total office parking and other income decreased by $0.6 million, or 3.5%, to $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in parking income as a result of lower occupancy.

Operating Expenses

Office Rental Expenses.  Total office rental expense increased by $0.5 million, or 1.5%, to $37.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $36.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes as a result of higher taxable values for the majority of our properties as well as an increase in ancillary property tax assessments, partially offset by temporary reductions in the taxable value of certain properties under California’s Proposition 8.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.8 million, or 1.4%, to $54.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $55.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease was primarily due to certain assets being fully depreciated.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 2.4%, to $45.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $44.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  This increase was primarily due to the difference between rates on the pay-floating leg of certain hedged debt in comparison to the receive-floating leg of the related interest rate swaps.

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2010 to six months ended June 30, 2009

Revenues

Office Rental Revenue.  Total office rental revenue decreased by $10.3 million, or 5.0%, to $197.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $207.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease was primarily due to $7.6 million of rent reflected in our 2009 consolidated results from the six properties we contributed to the institutional fund that was deconsolidated at the end of February 2009, as well as a decrease of $2.7 million for the remainder of our portfolio.  The $2.7 million decrease is primarily due to lower accretion of net below-market rents.

Tenant Recoveries.  Total office tenant recoveries decreased by $0.9 million, or 6.0%, to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease was primarily due to $0.7 million of recoveries reflected in our 2009 consolidated results from the six properties we contributed to the institutional fund that was deconsolidated at the end of February 2009.

Parking and Other Income.  Total office parking and other income decreased by $2.6 million, or 7.8%, to $31.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $34.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease was primarily due to $1.2 million of parking income reflected in our 2009 consolidated results from the six properties we contributed to the institutional fund that was deconsolidated at the end of February 2009, as well as decreases in parking income for the remainder of our portfolio as a result of lower occupancy.

Operating Expenses

Office Rental Expenses.  Total office rental expense decreased by $3.7 million, or 4.8%, to $73.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $77.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to $3.2 million in office rental expenses reflected in our 2009 consolidated results from the six properties we contributed to the institutional fund that was deconsolidated at the end of February 2009. The decrease is also a result of a decrease in electricity rates, partially offset by higher tax expense due to higher taxable values for the majority of our properties.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $6.6 million, or 5.6%, to $110.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $116.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to $4.9 million in depreciation and amortization reflected in our 2009 consolidated results from the six properties in the institutional fund that was deconsolidated at the end of February 2009.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

Gain on Disposition of Interest in Unconsolidated Real Estate Fund.  In February 2009, we recorded a gain of $5.6 million related to the contribution of six properties to a real estate fund as described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

(Loss) Gain, including Depreciation, from Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds.  The (loss) gain, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds totaled a net loss of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This amount represents our equity interest in the operating results from our institutional funds, including the operating income net of historical cost-basis depreciation, for the full six-month period.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the (loss) gain, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds totaled a net gain of $0.7 million, representing $3.5 million of income relating to the contribution of properties, partially offset by a loss of $2.8 million from our equity interest in the net operating results of the funds subsequent to the deconsolidation in February 2009 described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased $3.0 million, or 3.2%, to $90.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $93.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  This decrease is primarily due to lower average levels of outstanding debt during the first six months of 2010 in comparison to the prior year as a result of the deconsolidation of debt associated with properties contributed in February 2009 to our institutional funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Available Borrowings, Cash Balances and Capital Resources

We had total indebtedness of $3.4 billion at June 30, 2010, excluding a loan premium representing the mark-to-market adjustment on variable rate debt resulting from our IPO.  See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

We have a secured revolving credit facility with a group of banks led by Bank of America, N.A. and Banc of America Securities LLC totaling $350 million.  At June 30, 2010, there was approximately $195 million available to us under this credit facility.  This revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to either LIBOR plus 70 basis points or Federal Funds Rate plus 95 basis points if the amount outstanding is $262.5 million or less.  However, if the amount outstanding is greater than $262.5 million, the credit facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to either LIBOR plus 80 basis points or Federal Funds Rate plus 105 basis points.  The facility is scheduled to mature on October 30, 2010 but has a one-year extension available to us.  In the current economic environment and credit market, there is a chance that we may not meet the criteria necessary to utilize the extension, or the availability under the facility may be reduced upon extension.  We have used our revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisition funding, redevelopment and repositioning opportunities, tenant improvements and capital expenditures, capital calls for funds and joint ventures, share equivalent repurchases, recapitalizations and working capital.

We have typically financed our capital needs through short-term lines of credit and long-term secured mortgages at floating rates.  To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in short-term interest rates on our cash flow from operations, we generally enter into interest rate swap or interest rate cap agreements with respect to our long-term secured mortgages.  At June 30, 2010, 95% of our debt was effectively fixed at an overall rate of 5.10% (on an actual / 360-day basis) by virtue of interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements in place at the end of the reporting period.  However, of the $3.24 billion of variable-rate debt swapped to fixed rates, certain underlying swaps totaling $1.11 billion matured on August 1, 2010 and certain other underlying swaps totaling $545 million are scheduled to mature on December 1, 2010.  See Item 3 of this Report for a description of the impact of variable rates on our interest expense.  See also Notes 7 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

None of our term loans with swapped-to-fixed interest rates mature until 2012.  Our other loan obligations, which remain at variable rates, are our revolving credit facility described above, whose maturity can be extended, under certain conditions, to October 30, 2011, and an $18 million secured loan, whose maturity is March 31, 2011.

At June 30, 2010, our total borrowings under secured loans represented 60.7% of our total market capitalization of $5.6 billion.  Total market capitalization includes our consolidated debt, and the value of common stock and operating partnership units each based on our common stock closing price at June 30, 2010 on the New York Stock Exchange of $14.22 per share.

The nature of our business will cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term.  We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through cash provided by operations and, if necessary, by drawing on our secured revolving credit facility.  We anticipate that cash provided by operations and borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, redevelopment and repositioning of properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, and repayment of indebtedness at maturity.  We do not expect that we will have sufficient funds on hand to cover all of these long-term cash requirements.  We will seek to satisfy these needs through cash flows from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of debt and equity securities, including units in our operating partnership, property dispositions and joint venture transactions.  We have historically financed our operations, acquisitions and development, through the use of our revolving credit facility or other short term acquisition lines of credit, which we subsequently repay with long-term secured floating rate mortgage debt.  To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in short-term interest rates on our cash flows from operations, we generally enter into interest rate swap or interest rate cap agreements at the time we enter into term borrowings.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operating activities is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating expenses and other general and administrative costs.  Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $12.1 million to $83.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $95.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to higher cash interest paid in the current period resulting from a difference in the timing of prepaid interest payments on the pay-floating leg of certain hedged debt in comparison to the interest payments made in arrears on the receive-floating leg of the related interest rate swaps.  The decrease is also due the cash flows from the six properties contributed to an institutional fund we manage, which were included in our consolidated results until the end of February 2009.

Our net cash used in investing activities is generally used to fund property acquisitions, development and redevelopment projects and recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $229.9 million to $257.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $28.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase was attributable to the acquisition of Bishop Square.  See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

Our net cash related to financing activities is generally impacted by our borrowings, and capital activities net of dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests.  Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $122.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net cash used in financing activities totaling $33.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The comparative difference was primarily due to the increased level of borrowings associated with property acquisitions in 2010, as described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report, in contrast to the repayment of borrowings in 2009.

Contractual Obligations

During the first six months of 2010, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the information regarding specified contractual obligations contained in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have established and manage unconsolidated real estate funds through which institutional investors provide capital commitments for acquisition of properties.   These include Douglas Emmett Fund X, LLC, which we formed in the fourth quarter of 2008, and Douglas Emmett Partnership X, LP, which we formed in the first quarter of 2010 to allow additional investments along side Fund X by institutional investors who cannot invest through a limited liability company.  The capital we invest in our institutional funds is invested on a pari passu basis with the other investors.  In addition, we also receive certain additional distributions based on committed capital and on any profits that exceed certain specified cash returns to the investors.  We do not expect to receive additional significant liquidity from our investments in our institutional funds until the disposition of the properties held by the relevant fund, which may not be for many years.  Certain of our wholly-owned affiliates provide property management and other services with respect to the real estate owned by our institutional funds for which we are paid fees and/or reimbursed our costs.

At June 30, 2010, our institutional funds had capital commitments of $549.3 million, of which $285.0 million remained undrawn.  This amount included commitments from us of $191.0 million, of which $62.0 million remained undrawn.

We do not have any debt outstanding in connection with our interest in our institutional funds, although each of our institutional funds may have its own debt, which is secured by the properties it owns.  The following table summarizes the debt of our institutional funds at June 30, 2010:

(1)
Includes the effect of interest rate contracts.  Based on actual/360-day basis and excludes amortization of loan fees.  The total effective rate on an actual/365-day basis is 5.59% at June 30, 2010.
(2)
The loan is secured by six properties in a collateralized pool.  Requires monthly payments of interest only, with outstanding principal due upon maturity.
(3)
We transferred this loan to an institutional fund during the fourth quarter of 2008 when we contributed the properties securing it to that fund.  We remain responsible under certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve outs under these loans, which we entered into prior to our contribution of this debt and the related properties, although we have an indemnity from the fund for any amounts we would be required to pay under these agreements.  If the fund fails to perform any obligations under a swap agreement related to this loan, we remain liable to the swap counterparties.  The maximum future payments under the swap agreements was approximately $31.2 million as of June 30, 2010.  To date, all obligations under the swap agreements have been performed by the fund in accordance with the terms of the agreements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

At June 30, 2010, approximately $3.2 billion, or 95%, of our debt was hedged with derivative instruments.  Based on the level of variable rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2010, by virtue of the mitigating effect of our interest rate contracts, a 50 basis point change in LIBOR would result in an annual impact to earnings of approximately $863 thousand. However, of the $3.24 billion of variable-rate debt swapped to fixed rates, certain underlying swaps totaling $1.11 billion matured on August 1, 2010 and certain other underlying swaps totaling $545 million are scheduled to mature on December 1, 2010.  If we chose not to enter into new swaps covering the remaining term of the hedged debt, the potential impact to earnings of a 50 basis point change in LIBOR would be an additional $2.6 million during 2010.

We calculate interest sensitivity by computing the amount of floating rate debt not mitigated by interest rate contracts by the respective change in rate.  The sensitivity analysis does not take into consideration possible changes in the balances of fair value of our floating rate debt.

By using derivative instruments to hedge exposure to changes in interest rates, we expose ourselves to credit risk and the potential inability of our counterparties to perform under the terms of the agreements.  We attempt to minimize this credit risk by contracting with high-quality bank financial counterparties.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act)  that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
    As of June 30, 2010, the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this Report.  Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
   
    No changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified in connection with the evaluation referenced above that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
