Business Recap

Profits are high, but…

Business spending on plant will be
slow.

Spending on equipment will be up a
little.

Hiring will still be relatively slow.
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
U.S. Summary:
Recovering but not
recovered.
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
Case Study:
Arizona, the
recession
“poster child.”
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
It all comes down to
supply/demand
and
pop/employ growth.
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
A strong rate of
growth does not
mean we have
recovered.

Note: Forecast is from Foresight Analytics
How to Manage the Problem?
• Capital will continue to be relatively scarce.
• But, very few banks would refinance under
current conditions anyway.
• Banks won’t want to take back the
properties.
• But, “Extend & Pretend” will only work in the
short term.
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
How to Manage the Problem?
• Not enough cash flow (rents) for many
investors to gain interest in participating.
• Higher quality properties are moving, lower
quality not so much.
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
Additional Risks…
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
So which influence will be bigger?
• Population/employment gains may be offset
by new leases adjusting for lower rents/less
space, at least in 2011.
• This means the possibility of relatively flat
rental rates and vacancy rates in 2011.
• 2012 should see some improvement though
but not fully recovered until 2014-ish.
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
How does this impact commercial
property values?
Values through 2010 propped up by:
-
Owners depleting reserve funds (done);
Extend and Pretend (still pretending?);
Interest rates low (continues);
Multi-year leases (fewer).
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
Tale of Two Cities?
• Building values could continue to slip in
2011 despite some improvement in
overall economic conditions (except for
core product which is in good shape).
• Commercial foreclosures are not over.
• When will investors enter the market in
force?

Summary:
For 2011, is flat the

Models…
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
How do we deal with this issue?

At some point revenue growth RATES will
be significant even if full recovery is middecade.

But, WE DON’T KNOW exactly how/when
this will play out.

Options?
Elliott D. Pollack & Company
How do we deal with this issue?

Option #1: Assume a normal economic
recovery and an immediate/significant boost in
growth rates.

NO!

Recovery Peak –

Elliott D. Pollack & Company
How do we deal with this issue?

Option #2: Assume less pent up demand than
typical, so if trying for a “most likely” scenario
be more conservative.

Includes some budgeting risk but fewer
spending cuts will need to be identified.

Elliott D. Pollack & Company
How do we deal with this issue?

Option #3: Too much uncertainty;
forecast the peak to be no greater than
the long term average and be prepared
for revenues to eventually exceed the
forecast.

Less risk to out-year budget, but will
need to work harder to find more
spending cuts.
