Re: NNN 2002 Value Fund, LLC
Amendment No. 1 to Form 10
Filed February 28, 2005
File No. 0-51087
Dear Mr. Thompson:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following
comments.
Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in
response
to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your
explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is
unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your
explanation.
In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
supplemental information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise
additional
comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect
of
our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed
at
the end of this letter.
General
1. Please note your Form 10 is now effective by lapse of time 60
days
after the date you initially filed pursuant to Section 12(g)(1) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You are now subject to the
reporting requirements under Section 13(a) of the Securities
Exchange
Act of 1934.
2. We note your response to prior comment 3 stating that you
intend
to prepare and distribute an annual report for the year ended
December 31, 2004 within the timeframe specified in the operating
agreement. Since the deadline of March 16, 2005 has now lapsed,
please provide us with a copy of your 2004 annual report.
3. We note your responses to prior comments 5 and 6 state that you
erroneously included 100% of revenues from the Congress Center
rather
than 12.3% of revenues which represents your ownership interest.
We
further note your disclosure in response to prior comment 16
stating
that PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP assisted you in determining the
allocation of the purchase price for the Congress Center.
Supplementally, please describe the nature of this allocation
error
for the misallocation and whether your independent third party
consultant reviewed this allocation of revenues at the time of
purchase as part of its allocation of purchase price.
General, page 2
4. Rather than include cross-reference within your summary
section,
please briefly highlight the material differences among the three
classes (A, B and C) you intend to register on this Form 10.
Further, revise to disclose how your distributions have been
unable
to reach the priority return levels specified in your operating
agreement and how you will be unable to continue to distribute the
minimum 8% threshold amount without the sale of one of your three
properties or additional borrowings.
5. We reissue prior comment 14, in part, requesting you tell us
your
basis for your 8% projection. Please provide greater detail as to
what you mean by your assumption of "applicable market
conditions."
Further, tell us whether you owned or identified all three
properties
prior to offering these Units for sale.
6. We note your statement that you made monthly distributions to
all
Unit holders of approximately 8% annual return. Please tell us
why
you have included an approximation. Have you distributed less
than
8% to your Unit holders?
7. Supplementally, please provide us with a detailed analysis
regarding your compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940.
In your analysis, please describe your tenant in common interests
and
whether these interests would be deemed securities for purposes of
the Investment Company Act. Please refer to Triple Net Leasing,
LLC
(August 23, 2000) and Sections 3(a)(1)(C) and 3(c)(5)(C) of the
Investment Company Act. To the extent you may acquire additional
TIC
interests with the proceeds from your sale of the Bank of America
Plaza West property, please discuss what monitoring procedures you
may undertake to assure compliance with the Investment Company
Act.
Netpark Ownership, page 6
8. We note your response to prior comment 17 lists 25 private
tenant
in common programs named NNN Netpark, LLC 1-24 owning the
remaining
50% of Netpark Tampa. Please revise the chart to clearly indicate
which TIC investors are affiliated, which are under common control
of
the manager and whether there are any other material relationships
between the registrant, the manager and the property. In
addition,
your disclosure on page 12 initially states that 21 unaffiliated
parties own 49.375% of Netpark and later states that some of the
tenants in common are affiliates of the company. Please revise to
address this apparent inconsistency or advise.
Netpark Tampa, Florida, page 12
9. We note your response to prior comment 18 from our last letter.
Please revise to describe that your 50% interest is a tenant in
common interest. Further, describe what limitations exist on a
TIC
interest regarding a potential lack of unilateral foreclosure,
capital improvement and liquidation rights.
Results of Operations
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2003, pages 12-13
10. We note your revised disclosure pursuant to our request in
prior
comment 19. You state that interest expense increased by a total
of
15.4%. You also state that 233.3% of the increase was due to an
acquisition with an offset of 52.3%. Please tell us how these
causes
sum up to a change in excess of 100% of your increase in interest
expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Other Liquidity Needs, page 15
11. Please revise to discuss why the portion of distributions
representing a return of capital went from 0% in 2002 to 92.3% in
2003. Disclose whether this is a trend you expect to continue.
12. In connection with your response to prior comment 20 from our
last letter, please revise your disclosure to further describe how
you will adjust and fund future distributions in order to provide
net
distributions consistent with the minimum priorities specified in
the
Operating Agreement.
13. We note your response to prior comment 22 stating that you
expect
an operating cash flow deficit in subsequent periods. Please
revise
your disclosure to explain management`s view as to why you will
experience these cash flow deficits should you continue to declare
distributions to your Unit holders.
Capital Resources
General, page 16
14. We note your new disclosure in response to prior comment 24
refers to a requirement of $2.6 million to fund distributions to
Unit
holders and up to an additional $4.6 million to fund tenant and/or
capital improvements. Since you own interests in three properties
and have entered into an agreement to sell your only wholly-owned
property, Bank of America Plaza West, please provide greater
detail
as to where you anticipate allocating this additional $4.6 million
in
capital improvements.
Controls, page 20
15. Noting you have no employees of your own, please describe how
you
will allocate adequate resources to implement the remedial
measures
you describe in response to our prior comment 27, especially those
measures in the development stage. Supplementally, name the
"third
party" listed in the fifth bullet point on page 12 of your
response
letter preparing your purchase accounting allocations.
16. We have considered your response to our prior comment 27. In
the
next amendment, revise your disclosure to include a more detailed
discussion of the steps and "other work" performed by management
to
ensure that the financial statements included with the
registration
statement were free of material misstatement.
17. Revise your disclosure to provide a more detailed discussion
of
any material changes that have been made to internal control in
order
to correct the material weaknesses.
Risk Factors, page 21
Distributions by the Company may include a return of capital, page
22
18. Based on your disclosure on page 15, please revise to indicate
you have returned capital to investors and quantify the extent of
this return.
Item 5. Managers and Executive Officers, page 29
19. We note your response to prior comment 31 states you believe
our
request that you disclose the names of the principal executive and
financial officers to be inapplicable. We further note Mr.
Anthony
W. Thompson signed this registration statement as your CEO.
Supplementally, please tell us who, as disclosed on page 21,
"concluded that the Company`s disclosure controls and procedures
need
to be strengthened and are not sufficiently effective," and on
behalf
of the manager, "believes that there are no material inaccuracies
or
omissions of material fact in the Company`s financial statements
filed in connection with this registration statement." If the
entire Board of Managers voted on these conclusions, please tell
us.
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
The Operating Agreement, page 32
20. In connection with your response to prior comment 37, please
tell
us supplementally the total dollar amount of organization costs
and
marketing expenses that were not reimbursable and whether the
company
or the Manager paid these remaining costs and expenses.
21. Regarding your footnote (6) disclosure on page 33, please tell
us
whether the manager will receive fees or distributions as proposed
from the sale of the Bank of America Plaza West property.
Item 11. Description of Registrant`s Securities to be Registered
General, page 36
22. We note your response to prior comment 45 from our last
letter.
Supplementally, please tell us whether a license was required to
operate and lease space to tenants for the Congress Center and
whether these transactions were material to your operations and
net
income.
Item 15. Financial Statements and Exhibits
23. Update your financial statements pursuant to 3-12 of
Regulation
S-X.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
24. We have reviewed your response to our prior comment 61. In a
supplemental response explain to us how you considered the
guidance
of paragraph 30 of SFAS 144 when determining whether the Bank of
America Plaza West property should be classified as held for sale
at
period end.
