Business Wire
American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (�the Company�) (AMEX:AQQ), a real
estate investment and management company whose headquarters are
located in Houston, Texas, announced today its results for the
third quarter ended September 30, 2008. Rental revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2008 increased $1,337,000, or
17.3%, in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2007.
This increase was primarily attributable to $838,000 in revenue
generated from one office property acquired during the second
quarter of 2008. Greater revenues from properties owned for the
full three months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007
accounted for the remaining increase of $499,000. The increase in
revenues from properties owned for the full three months ended
September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was primarily due to an
increase in rental rates and lease termination revenue. The
increase was partially offset by a decrease in occupancy. The
weighted average occupancy of the Company�s properties was 85% for
the three months ended September 2008 compared to 88% for the three
months ended September 30, 2007. The Company�s net loss for the
three months ended September 30, 2008 was $2,186,000, or $1.59 per
share, compared to a net loss of $3,202,000, or $2.32 per share,
for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The net loss
recorded during the third quarter of 2007 included a loss on
extinguishment of debt of $2,413,000. The Company�s net loss for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $4,771,000, or $3.47
per share, compared to a net loss of $5,642,000, or $4.09 per
share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The net loss
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 included income from
discontinued operations of $631,000 attributable to the Company�s
sale of Columbia, a non-core property located in South Carolina.
