1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION
Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a fully-integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) providing leasing, management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its properties. As of March 31, 2004, the Company owned or had interests in 263 properties plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”). The Properties aggregate approximately 28.3 million square feet, which are comprised of 154 office buildings and 97 office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 27.8 million square feet (which include four office buildings and one office/flex building aggregating 1.2 million square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, three retail properties totaling approximately 118,040 square feet (which includes a mixed-use retail property totaling approximately 100,740 square feet owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest), one hotel (which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest) and two parcels of land leased to others. The Properties are located in eight states, primarily in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (“Operating Partnership”). See Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in Note 2 for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental Property
Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Included in total rental property is construction and development in-progress of $88,588 and $84,105 (including land of $50,156 and $49,045) as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.

The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

8

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s real estate properties may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved. Management does not believe that the value of any of the Company’s rental properties is impaired.

9

Rental Property Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management’s opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supercedes FASB No. 121. FASB No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. FASB No. 144 retains the requirements of FASB No. 121 regarding impairment loss recognition and measurement. In addition, it requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold from January 1, 2002 forward are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 6.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, Net
On January 17, 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46”), the primary objective of which is to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”). In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised FIN 46 which modifies and clarifies various aspects of the original Interpretation. FIN 46 applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests, and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. In addition, FIN 46 requires additional disclosures.

FIN 46 is effective immediately for VIEs created after January 31, 2003, and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. For variable interests in a VIE created or obtained prior to February 1, 2003, FIN 46 is effective for periods ending after March 15, 2004. As of March 31, 2004, the Company has evaluated its joint ventures with regards to FIN 46. The Company has identified its Meadowlands Xanadu joint venture with the Mills Corporation as a VIE, but is not consolidating such venture as the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Disclosure about this VIE is included in Note 4 - Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

10

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures (for which FIN 46 does not apply) under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment. Management does not believe that the value of any of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is impaired. See Note 4.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Deferred Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related indebtedness. Amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $1,105 and $1,251 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Deferred Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties. The portion of such compensation, which is capitalized and amortized, approximated $1,475 and $762 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Derivative Instruments
The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

Revenue Recognition
Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. Parking and other revenue includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services provided by the Company, income from tenants for early lease terminations and income from managing and/or leasing properties for third parties. Escalations and recoveries are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 13.

11

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income.

Income and Other Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax (including alternative minimum tax) on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the Company satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. The Company has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as a Taxable REIT Subsidiary (“TRS”). In general, a TRS of the Company may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.

Earnings Per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount.

Dividends and Distributions Payable
The dividends and distributions payable at March 31, 2004 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares), common shareholders (60,533,315 shares), distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders (7,789,498 common units) and preferred distributions payable to preferred unitholders (215,018 preferred units) for all such holders of record as of April 5, 2004 with respect to the first quarter 2004. The first quarter 2004 preferred stock dividends of $50.00 per share, common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.63 per common share and unit, as well as the first quarter preferred unit distributions of $18.1818 per preferred unit, were approved by the Board of Directors on March 23, 2004. The preferred stock dividends payable were paid on April 15, 2004. The common stock dividends and common and preferred unit distributions payable were paid on April 19, 2004.

12

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2003 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares), common shareholders (59,606,504 shares), distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders (7,795,498 common units) and preferred distributions payable to preferred unitholders (215,018 preferred units) for all such holders of record as of January 6, 2004 with respect to the fourth quarter 2003. The fourth quarter 2003 preferred stock dividends of $50.00 per share, common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.63 per common share and unit, as well as the fourth quarter preferred unit distributions of $18.1818 per preferred unit, were approved by the Board of Directors on December 17, 2003. The preferred stock dividends payable were paid on January 15, 2004. The common stock dividends and common and preferred unit distributions payable were paid on January 16, 2004.

Costs Incurred For Preferred Stock Issuances
Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s preferred stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Stock Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options and restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations (“APB No. 25”). Under APB No. 25, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted. Compensation cost for stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The Company’s policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of the Company’s stock on the business day preceding the grant date. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under the Company’s stock option plans for the granting of stock options made prior to 2002. Restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 are valued at the vesting dates of such awards, with compensation cost for such awards recognized ratably over the vesting period.

In 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB No. 123, which requires, on a prospective basis, that the estimated fair value of restricted stock and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. For the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded restricted stock and stock options expense of $771 and $417, respectively, for restricted stock and stock options granted or modified in 2003 and 2004. FASB No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, was issued in December 2002 and amends FASB No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. FASB No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock based compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of FASB No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. FASB No. 148 disclosure requirements are presented as follows:

13

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested stock awards in each period:

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation.

3.    REAL ESTATE PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS

PROPERTY ACQUISITION
On April 14, 2004, the Company acquired 5 Wood Hollow Road, located in Parsippany, New Jersey. The 317,040 square-foot class A office building was acquired for approximately $34,000.

4.    INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures aggregating $106,459 as of March 31, 2004 is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations, and except as otherwise indicated below.

MEADOWLANDS XANADU
On November 25, 2003, the Company and affiliates of The Mills Corporation (“Mills”) entered into a joint venture to form Meadowlands Mills/Mack-Cali Limited Partnership (“Meadowlands Venture”) for the purpose of developing a $1.3 billion family entertainment and recreation complex with an office and hotel component to be built at the Meadowlands sports complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey (“Meadowlands Xanadu”). Meadowlands Xanadu’s approximately 4.76 million-square-foot complex is expected to feature a family entertainment destination comprising three themed zones: sports/recreation, children’s activities and fashion, in addition to four office buildings, aggregating approximately 1.8 million square feet, and a 520-room hotel.

On December 3, 2003, the Meadowlands Venture entered into a redevelopment agreement (the “Redevelopment Agreement”) with the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (“NJSEA”) for the redevelopment of the area surrounding the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey and the construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project. The Redevelopment Agreement provides for a 75-year ground lease, which requires the joint venture to pay the NJSEA a $160,000 development rights fee at the start of construction of the entertainment phase, when all permits and approvals are obtained, and the payment of fixed rent over the term. Fixed rent will be in the amount of $1 per year for the first 15 years, increasing to $7,500 from the 16^th to the 18^th year, increasing to $8,447 in the 19^th year, increasing to $8,700 in the 20^th year, increasing to $8,961 in the 21^st year, then to $9,200 in the 23^rd to 26^th year, with additional increases over the remainder of the term, as set forth in the ground lease. The ground lease also allows for the potential for participation rent payments by the venture, as described in the ground lease agreement.

14

The Company and Mills own a 20 percent and 80 percent interest, respectively, in the Meadowlands Venture. These interests were subject to certain participation rights by The New York Giants, which were subsequently terminated in April 2004. The joint venture agreement requires the Company to make an equity contribution up to a maximum of $32,500. As part of the Redevelopment Agreement, Mills is required to contribute certain vacant land, known as the Empire Tract, to the State of New Jersey to be used as a wetlands mitigation bank, for which Mills has received subordinated capital credit in the venture of approximately $118,000. The joint venture agreement requires Mills to contribute the balance of the capital required to complete the entertainment phase, subject to certain limitations. The Company will receive a nine percent preferred return on its equity investment, only after Mills receives a nine percent preferred return on its equity investment. Residual returns, subject to participation by other parties, will be in proportion to each partners’ respective percentage interest.

Mills will develop, lease and operate the entertainment phase of the Meadowlands Xanadu project. The joint venture agreement provides the Company an option to cause the Meadowlands Venture to form component ventures for the future development of the office and hotel phases, for which the Company will develop, lease and operate such phases. The Company will own an 80 percent interest and Mills will own a 20 percent interest in such component ventures. The agreement provides for the first office or hotel component ventures to be formed no later than four years after the grand opening of the entertainment phase, and requires that all component ventures for the office and hotel phases be formed no later than 10 years from such date, but does not require that any or all components be developed. However, under the Meadowlands Venture agreement, Mills has the ability to accelerate such formation schedule, subject to certain conditions. Should the Company fail to meet the time schedule described above for the formation of the component ventures, the Company will forfeit its rights to cause the Meadowlands Venture to form additional component ventures. If this occurs, Mills will have the ability to develop the additional phases, subject to the Company’s right to participate, or to cause the Meadowlands Venture to sell such components to a third party, subject to a sales price limitation of 95 percent of the value that would have been the amount necessary to form such component ventures.

On March 27, 2003, Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc. (“Hartz”) filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, for Bergen County, seeking to enjoin the NJSEA from entering into a contract with Mills and the Company for the redevelopment of the Continental Airlines Arena site. The case was dismissed by the trial court but Hartz appealed. Hartz also appealed the NJSEA’s final decision which denied Hartz’s bid protest on October 23, 2003. Westfield America, Inc., has also protested the NJSEA decision, and has appealed the NJSEA’s denial of its protest. In January 2004, Hartz and Westfield also appealed the NJSEA’s approval and execution of the final Redevelopment Agreement. Four citizens, Elliot Braha, Richard DeLauro, George Perry and Carol Coronato, have also filed lawsuits challenging the NJSEA award to Mills and the Company. All of these cases are now pending unresolved in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division. The Company believes that its proposal fully complied with applicable laws and the request for proposals, and it plans to vigorously enforce its rights concerning this project.

HPMC
On April 23, 1998, the Company entered into a joint venture with HCG Development, L.L.C. and Summit Partners I, L.L.C. to form HPMC Development Partners, L.P. and, on July 21, 1998, entered into a second joint venture, HPMC Development Partners II, L.P. (formerly known as HPMC Lava Ridge Partners, L.P.), with these same parties. HPMC Development Partners, L.P.‘s efforts focused on two development projects, commonly referred to as Continental Grand II and Summit Ridge. HPMC Development Partners II, L.P.‘s efforts have focused on three development projects, commonly referred to as Lava Ridge, Pacific Plaza I & II and Stadium Gateway.

15

The Company has a 50 percent ownership interest and HCG Development, L.L.C. and Summit Partners I, L.L.C. (both of which are not affiliated with the Company) collectively have a 50 percent ownership interest in HPMC Development Partners, L.P. and HPMC Development Partners II, L.P. (the “HPMC Joint Ventures”). Significant terms of the applicable partnership agreements, among other things, call for the Company to provide 80 percent and HCG Development, L.L.C. and Summit Partners I, L.L.C. to collectively provide 20 percent of the development equity capital to the HPMC Joint Ventures. As the Company has agreed to fund development equity capital disproportionate to its ownership interest, it was granted a preferred return of 10 percent on its invested capital as a priority. Profits and losses of each of the HPMC Joint Ventures are allocated to the partners based upon the priority of distributions specified in the respective agreements and entitle the Company to a preferred return, as well as 50 percent of each of the HPMC Joint Ventures’ residual profits above the preferred returns. Equity in earnings recognized by the Company consists of preferred returns and the Company’s equity in the HPMC Joint Ventures’ earnings (loss) after giving effect to the HPMC Joint Ventures’ payment of such preferred returns.

G&G MARTCO (Convention Plaza)
The Company holds a 50 percent interest in G&G Martco, which owns Convention Plaza, a 305,618 square-foot office building, located in San Francisco, California. The venture has a mortgage loan with a $41,229 balance at March 31, 2004 collateralized by its office property. The loan also provides the venture the ability to increase the balance of the loan up to an additional $6,720 for the funding of qualified leasing costs. The loan bears interest at a rate of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (1.09 percent at March 31, 2004) plus 162.5 basis points and matures in August 2006. The Company performs management and leasing services for the property owned by the joint venture and recognized $36 and $61 in fees for such services in the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

AMERICAN FINANCIAL EXCHANGE L.L.C./PLAZA VIII AND IX ASSOCIATES, L.L.C.
On May 20, 1998, the Company entered into a joint venture with Columbia Development Company, L.L.C. (“Columbia”) to form American Financial Exchange L.L.C. The venture was formed to acquire land for future development, located on the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City, New Jersey, adjacent to the Company’s Harborside Financial Center office complex. Among other things, the partnership agreement provides for a preferred return on the Company’s invested capital in the venture, in addition to the Company’s proportionate share of the venture’s profit, as defined in the agreement. The joint venture acquired land on which it initially constructed a parking facility, a portion of which is currently licensed to a parking operator. Such parking facility serves a ferry service between the Company’s Harborside property and Manhattan. In the fourth quarter 2000, the joint venture started construction of Plaza 10, a 577,575 square-foot office building, which was 100 percent pre-leased to Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. (“Schwab”) for a 15-year term, on certain of the land owned by the venture. The lease agreement with Schwab obligated the venture, among other things, to deliver space to the tenant by required timelines and offers expansion options, at the tenant’s election.

16

Such options may have obligated the venture to construct an additional building or, at the Company’s option, to make space available in any of its existing Harborside properties. Had the venture been unable to, or chosen not to, provide such expansion space, the venture would have been liable to Schwab for its actual damages, in no event to exceed $15,000. The amount of Schwab’s actual damages, up to $15,000, had been guaranteed by the Company. As described below, the Company no longer has any remaining obligations to Schwab following the sale of the Company's interests in the venture. AFE has an agreement with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey, in which it is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes (“PILOT”). The agreement is for a term of 20 years. The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs, as defined, with periodic increases, as defined. Total Project Costs, per the agreement, are the greater of $78,821 or actual Total Project Costs, as defined.

The Company performed management, leasing and development services for the Plaza 10 property owned by the venture and recognized $0 and $225 in fees for such services in the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

On September 29, 2003, the Company sold its interest in AFE, in which it held a 50 percent interest, and received approximately $162,145 in net sales proceeds from the transaction, which the Company used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $23,952, which is recorded in gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint venture for the year ended December 31, 2003. Following completion of the sale of its interest, the Company no longer has any remaining obligations to Schwab.

In advance of the transaction, AFE distributed its interests in Plaza VIII and IX Associates, L.L.C., which owned the undeveloped land currently used as a parking facility, to its then partners, the Company and Columbia. The Company and Columbia subsequently entered into a new joint venture to own and manage the undeveloped land and related parking operations through Plaza VIII and IX Associates, L.L.C. The Company and Columbia each hold a 50 percent interest in the new venture.

RAMLAND REALTY ASSOCIATES L.L.C. (One Ramland Road)
On August 20, 1998, the Company entered into a joint venture with S.B. New York Realty Corp. to form Ramland Realty Associates L.L.C. The venture was formed to own, manage and operate One Ramland Road, a 232,000 square-foot office/flex building and adjacent developable land, located in Orangeburg, New York. In August 1999, the joint venture completed redevelopment of the property and placed the office/flex building in service. The Company holds a 50 percent interest in the joint venture. The venture has a mortgage loan with a $14,936 balance at March 31, 2004 secured by its office/flex property. The mortgage bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 175 basis points and matures in January 2005. The venture is currently in discussions with the current lender regarding a long-term extension of the mortgage loan. In the event the lender does not provide an extension of the mortgage loan, the venture intends to pursue alternative financing strategies.

In 2001, the property’s then principal tenant, Superior Bank was closed by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named receiver. The tenant continued to meet its rental payment obligations through June 2002. In July 2002, the tenant vacated the premises and the FDIC notified the joint venture that it was rejecting the lease as of July 16, 2002. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the tenant’s ability to meet its obligations through the remainder of the term of its lease, the joint venture wrote off unbilled rents receivable of $1,573 and deferred lease costs of $705, which was included in the Company’s equity in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2002. Subsequently, the venture’s management determined it was unlikely a prospective tenant would retain tenant improvements previously made to Superior Bank’s space and, accordingly, the venture accelerated amortization of those tenant improvements and recorded a charge of $3,586, which is included in the Company’s equity in earnings in the three months ended March 31, 2003. The Company performs management, leasing and other services for the property owned by the joint venture and recognized $3 and $6 in fees for such services in the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

ASHFORD LOOP ASSOCIATES L.P. (1001 South Dairy Ashford/2100 West Loop South)
On September 18, 1998, the Company entered into a joint venture with Prudential to form Ashford Loop Associates L.P. The venture was formed to own, manage and operate 1001 South Dairy Ashford, a 130,000 square-foot office building acquired on September 18, 1998, and 2100 West Loop South, a 168,000 square-foot office building acquired on November 25, 1998, both located in Houston, Texas. The Company holds a 20 percent interest in the joint venture. The Company performed management and leasing services through March 2002 for the properties owned by the joint venture and recognized $45 in fees for such services in the three months ended March 31, 2002. Under certain circumstances, Prudential has the right to convert its interest in the venture into common stock of the Company at a discount to the stock’s fair market value, based on the underlying fair value of Prudential’s interest in the venture at the time of conversion. The Company, at its option, can elect to exchange cash in lieu of stock in an amount equal to the fair value of Prudential’s interest.

SOUTH PIER AT HARBORSIDE – HOTEL DEVELOPMENT
On November 17, 1999, the Company entered into a joint venture with Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”) to develop a 350-room hotel on the South Pier at Harborside Financial Center, Jersey City, New Jersey, which was completed and commenced initial operations in July 2002. The Company owns a 50 percent interest in the venture. The venture had a mortgage loan with a commercial bank with a $62,902 balance at December 31, 2003 collateralized by its hotel property. The debt bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points and was scheduled to mature in December 2003, and was extended through January 29, 2004. On that date the venture repaid the mortgage loan using the proceeds from a new $40,000 mortgage loan, collateralized by the hotel property, as well as capital contributions from the Company and Hyatt of $10,750 each. The new loan carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points and matures in February 2006. The loan provides for three one-year extension options subject to certain conditions. The final two one-year extension options require payment of a fee. Additionally, the venture has an $8,000 loan with the City of Jersey City, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The loan currently bears interest at fixed rates ranging from 6.09 percent to 6.62 percent and matures in August 2020. The Company has posted an $8,000 letter of credit in support of this loan, $4,000 of which is indemnified by Hyatt.

NORTH PIER AT HARBORSIDE – RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
On April 3, 2001, the Company sold its North Pier at Harborside Financial Center, Jersey City, New Jersey to an entity which planned on developing residential housing on the site. At the time, the Company received net sales proceeds of approximately $3,357 (which included a note receivable of $2,027 subsequently repaid in 2002), and recognized a gain of $439 (before minority interest) from the transaction. On March 31, 2004, the Company received an additional $720 as additional contingent purchase consideration resulting from the achievement of certain conditions at the property subsequent to the initial sale, for which the Company recorded a gain of $637 (net of minority interest of $83) in gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

5.    DEFERRED CHARGES AND OTHER ASSETS

6.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supercedes FASB No. 121. FASB No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. FASB No. 144 retains the requirements of FASB No. 121 regarding impairment loss recognition and measurement. In addition, it requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. As the Company sold 1770 St. James Place, Houston, Texas; 111 Soledad, San Antonio, Texas; and land in Hamilton Township, New Jersey during the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company has presented these assets as discontinued operations in its statements of operations for the periods presented.

The following tables summarize income from discontinued operations (net of minority interest) and the related realized gain on sale of rental property (net of minority interest) for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

On March 15, 2004, the Company retired $300,000 face amount of 7.00 percent senior unsecured notes due on that date.

8.    UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

In 2002, the Company obtained an unsecured revolving credit facility with a current borrowing capacity of $600,000 from a group of 15 lenders. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the unsecured facility is currently LIBOR plus 70 basis points. The Company may instead elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The unsecured facility also requires a 20 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears. The unsecured facility matures in September 2005, with an extension option of one year, which would require upon exercise a payment of 25 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the credit line.

In the event of a change in the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt rating, the interest and facility fee rates will be adjusted in accordance with the following table:

The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of debt service coverage, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property debt service coverage and certain investment limitations.
