MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (dollars in thousands, except per share/unit amounts)

 

1.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

ORGANIZATION

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, 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 June 30, 2005, the Company owned or had interests in 267 properties plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”). The Properties aggregate approximately 29.9 million square feet, which are comprised of 159 office buildings and 97 office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 29.5 million square feet (which include one office building and one office/flex building aggregating 538,000 square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, two retail properties totaling approximately 17,300 square feet, 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 seven 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. (the “Operating Partnership”) and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. 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.

 

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

 

 

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 $92,966 and $86,916 (including land of $56,291 and $53,705) as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 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

 

8

 



 

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.

 

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

 

Leasehold interests

Remaining lease term



Buildings and improvements

5 to 40 years



Tenant improvements

The shorter of the term of the

 

related lease or useful life



Furniture, fixtures and equipment

5 to 10 years



 

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

 

9

 



 

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.

 

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. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 6 – Discontinued Operations.

 

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.

 

Investments in

Unconsolidated

Joint Ventures, Net

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for which Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“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.

 

FIN 46 provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE (the “Primary Beneficiary”). Generally, 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.

 

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.

 

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

 

10

 



 

is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. 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 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

 

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

Financing 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 $847 and $989 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $1,739 and $2,094 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 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 $949 and $1,481 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $1,906 and $2,956 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 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 and qualifying 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 arranged for the

 

 

11

 



 

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 – Tenant Leases.

 

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 taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “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 June 30, 2005 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares) and common shareholders (61,712,132 shares), and distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (13,829,254 common units) for all such holders of record as of July 6, 2005 with respect to the second quarter 2005. The second quarter 2005 preferred stock dividends of $50.00 per share, common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.63 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on June 23, 2005. The preferred stock dividends payable were paid on July 15, 2005. The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on July 18, 2005.

 

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2004 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares) and common shareholders (61,118,025 shares), distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (7,616,447 common units) and preferred distributions payable to preferred unitholders of the Operating Partnership (215,018 preferred units) for all such holders of record as of January 5,

 

12

 



 

2005 with respect to the fourth quarter 2004. The fourth 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 fourth quarter 2004 preferred unit distributions of $18.1818 per preferred unit, were approved by the Board of Directors on December 7, 2004. The preferred stock dividends, common stock dividends, and common and preferred unit distributions payable were paid on January 18, 2005.

 

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 (“Restricted Stock Awards”) and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded restricted stock and stock options expense of $828 and $1,573, respectively, and $1,625 and $2,344 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 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:

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

 

The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures aggregating $123,460 as of June 30, 2005 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 agreement (“Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement”) to form Meadowlands Mills/Mack-Cali Limited Partnership (“Meadowlands Venture”) for the purpose of developing a $1.3 billion family entertainment, recreation and retail complex with an office and hotel component to be built at the Meadowlands sports complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey (“Meadowlands Xanadu”). The First Amendment to the Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement was entered into as of June 30, 2005. Meadowlands Xanadu’s approximately 4.76 million-square-foot complex is expected to feature a family entertainment, recreation and retail destination comprising five themed zones: sports; entertainment; children’s education; fashion; and food and home, 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 and requires the Meadowlands Venture to pay the NJSEA a $160,000 development rights fee and 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 16th to the 18th years, increasing to $8,447 in the 19th year, increasing to $8,700 in the 20th year, increasing to $8,961 in the 21st year, then to $9,200 in the 23rd to 26th years, 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 Meadowlands Venture, as described in the ground lease agreement. The First Amendment to the Redevelopment Agreement and the ground lease, itself, were signed on October 5, 2004. The Meadowlands Venture received all necessary permits and approvals from the NJSEA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in March 2005 and commenced construction in the same month. As a condition to the commencement of work to fill wetlands pursuant to the permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement, as amended, the Meadowlands Venture conveyed certain vacant land, known as the Empire Tract, to a conservancy trust. On June 30, 2005, the $160,000 development rights fees was deposited into an escrow account by the Meadowlands Venture in accordance with the terms of the First Amendment to the Redevelopment Agreement. On such date, the following amounts were paid

 

15

 



 

from escrow: (i) approximately $36,000 to defease certain debt obligations of the NJSEA; and (ii) $26,800 to the NJSEA, which, in turn, paid such amount to the Meadowlands Venture for the Empire Tract. The balance of the escrow is to be released and paid in accordance with the terms of the First Amendment to the Redevelopment Agreement.

 

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 Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement required the Company to make an equity contribution up to a maximum of $32,500, which it fulfilled in April 2005. Pursuant to the Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement, Mills has received subordinated capital credit in the venture of approximately $118,000, which represents certain costs incurred by Mills in connection with the Empire Tract prior to the creation of the Meadowlands Venture. However, under the First Amendment to the Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement, the Company and Mills agreed that due to the expected receipt by the Meadowlands Venture of certain other sums and certain development costs savings in connection with Meadowlands Xanadu, Mills’ subordinated capital credit in the venture for the Empire Tract should be reduced to $60,000 as of the date of the First Amendment to the Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement. The Meadowlands Xanadu 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 9 percent preferred return on its equity investment, only after Mills receives a 9 percent preferred return on its equity investment. Residual returns, subject to participation by other parties, will be in proportion to each partner’s respective percentage interest.

 

Mills will develop, lease and operate the entertainment phase of the Meadowlands Xanadu project. The Meadowlands Venture has formed and owns, directly and indirectly, all of the partnership interests in and to the component ventures which were formed for the future development of the office and hotel phases, which the Company will develop, lease and operate. Upon the Company’s exercise of its rights under the Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement to develop the office and hotel phases, the Meadowlands Venture will convey ownership of the component ventures to the Company and Mills or its affiliate, and the Company or its affiliate will own an 80 percent interest and Mills or its affiliate will own a 20 percent interest in such component ventures. However, under the First amendment to the Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement, if the Meadowlands Venture develops a hotel that has video lottery terminals (or “slots”), or any other legalized form of gaming on or in its premises, then the Company or its affiliate will own a 50 percent interest in such component venture and Mills or its affiliate will own a 50 percent interest. The Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement requires that the Company must exercise its rights with respect to the first office and hotel phase no later than four years after the grand opening of the entertainment phase, and requires that the Company exercise all of its rights with respect to the office and hotel phases no later than 10 years from such date, but does not require that any or all components be developed. However, under the Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement, Mills has the right to accelerate such exercise schedule, subject to certain conditions. Should the Company fail to meet the time schedule described above for the exercise of its rights with respect to the office and hotel phases, the Company will forfeit its rights to participate in future development. If this occurs, Mills will have the right 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 required to form such component ventures.

 

Commencing three years after the grand opening of the entertainment phase of the Meadowlands Xanadu project, either Mills or the Company may sell its partnership interest to a third party subject to the following provisions:

 

 

In addition, commencing on the sixth anniversary of the opening, the Company may cause Mills to purchase, and Mills may cause the Company to sell to Mills, all of the Company’s partnership interests at a price based on the then fair market value of the project. Notwithstanding the exercise by Mills or the Company of any of the foregoing rights with respect to the sale of the Company’s partnership interest to Mills or a third party, the Company will retain its right to component ventures for the future development of the office and hotel phases.

On February 12, 2003, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority selected The Mills Corporation and the Company to redevelop the Continental Airlines Arena site (“Arena Site”) for mixed uses, including retail. In March 2003, Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., or Hartz, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, for Bergen County, seeking to enjoin the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, or NJSEA, from entering into a contract with Mills and the Company for the redevelopment of the Continental Arena site. In May 2003, the court denied Hartz’s request for an injunction and dismissed its suit for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. In June 2003, the NJSEA held hearings on Hartz’s protest, and on a parallel protest filed by another rejected developer, Westfield, Inc. (“Westfield”). On September 10, 2003, the NJSEA ruled against Hartz’s and Westfield’s protests, and on May 14, 2004, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey rejected Hartz’s contention that the NJSEA lacks statutory authority to allow retail development of its property. The Supreme Court of New Jersey has declined to review the Appellate Division’s decision. Hartz, Westfield and four taxpayers (the “Braha Appellants”) have also filed appeals from the NJSEA’s final decision based on other grounds. In a separate action commenced in January 2004, Hartz and Westfield also appealed the NJSEA’s approval and execution of the formal redevelopment agreement with the Meadowlands Venture. Several appeals filed by Hartz, Westfield and others, including certain environmental groups, that challenge certain approvals received by the Meadowlands Venture from the NJSEA, the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection remain pending before the Appellate Division. The Appellate Division, in a decision rendered on November 24, 2004, completed its review of Hartz’s Open Public Records Act appeal and the remand proceeding it earlier ordered and upheld the findings of the Law Division in the remand proceeding. The Supreme Court of New Jersey has declined to review the Appellate Division’s decision. The NJSEA held further hearings on December 15 and 16, 2004, at Hartz’s request to review certain additional facts in support of its bid protest. The Hearing Officer rendered his Supplemental Report and Recommendation to the NJSEA on March 4, 2005, finding no merit in the protests presented by Hartz and Westfield. The NJSEA accepted the Supplemental Report and Recommendation on March 30, 2005 and Hartz appealed that decision to the Appellate Division. Hartz also filed an application with the Appellate Division seeking an Order staying the construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project, which officially commenced on March 24, 2005, and on April 27, 2005, the Braha Appellants filed a separate appeal with the Appellate Division also challenging the NJSEA’s decision to allow construction to begin and seeking an Order staying the construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project. The Appellate Division denied Hartz’s application for a stay of construction by Order dated May 5, 2005. The Appellate Division has not made any determinations with respect to these appeals. On April 5, 2005 the New York Football Giants filed a Verified Complaint seeking an emergency order halting construction pending a final decision on its contention that construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project violates its lease agreements with the NJSEA. The Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, has scheduled a hearing on that application for August 5, 2005. On March 18, 2005, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a permit to the Meadowlands Venture to authorize the filling of 7.69 acres of wetlands and other waters of the United States in connection with the Meadowlands Xanadu project. Three separate lawsuits have been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, challenging the Corps’ decision to issue the permit to the Meadowlands Venture and seeking to set aside the permit and remand the matter to the Corps for further proceedings consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act and the Clean Water Act. The first suit was filed on March 30, 2005, by the Sierra Club, the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group, Citizen Lobby, Inc. and the New Jersey Environmental Federation. Additional suits were filed on May 16 and May 31, 2005, respectively, by Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., (together with one of its officers as an individual named plaintiff) and the Borough of Carlstadt. The Meadowlands Venture is named as a defendant, along with the Corps, in all three of these suits. On May 3, 2005, the Sierra Club filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to stop certain construction activities on the project. The Court denied that motion on July 6, 2005. The Meadowlands Venture and the Corps have filed motions to dismiss the Hartz complaint for lack of standing. Similar motions may be filed to dismiss the Carlstadt complaint. Once these standing issues are resolved, the court will address the merits of the claims through motions for summary judgment. The New Jersey Builders’ Association has commenced an action, which is pending in the Appellate Division, alleging that NJSEA has failed to meet a purported obligation to provide affordable housing at the Meadowlands Complex. The Builders’ Association has filed an application for injunctive relief seeking to enjoin further construction of the project. That application is pending. The Company is not a party to that action.

 

The Company believes that the Meadowlands Venture’s proposal and the planned project comply with applicable laws, and the Meadowlands Venture intends to continue its vigorous defense of its rights under the executed Redevelopment Agreement and recently executed Ground Lease. Although there can be no assurance, the Company

 

17

 



 

does not believe that the pending lawsuits will have any material affect on its ability to develop the Meadowlands Xanadu project.

 

HPMC

On July 21, 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 II, L.P. (formerly known as HPMC Lava Ridge Partners, L.P.). HPMC Development Partners II, L.P.’s efforts focused on three development projects, commonly referred to as Lava Ridge, Stadium Gateway, Pacific Plaza I & II. Lava Ridge was sold in 2002.

 

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 II, L.P. 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. As the Company 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 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 residual profits above the preferred returns. Equity in earnings recognized by the Company consists of preferred returns and the Company’s equity in earnings (loss) after giving effect to the payment of such preferred returns.

 

Stadium Gateway

Stadium Gateway was a development joint venture project, located in Anaheim, California between HPMC Development Partners II, L.P. and a third-party entity. The venture constructed a six-story, 273,194 square foot office building, which commenced initial operations in January 2002. On April 1, 2003, the venture sold the office property for approximately $52,500.

Phase II, which comprises a three-story retail and theater complex, commenced initial operations in June 2002. On August 27, 2004, the venture sold the Pacific Plaza I & II complex for approximately $143,000. The Company performed management services for the property while it was owned by the venture and recognized $0 and $87 in fees for such services in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $0 and $176 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

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. 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,

 

18

 



 

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.

 

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. 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.

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 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, which 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, (with a balance as of June 30, 2005 or $39,767), 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.

On May 11, 2005, the Company sold the building for net sales proceeds of approximately $17,696.

UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

 

2004 Unsecured Facility

On November 23, 2004, the Company obtained an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2004 Unsecured Facility”) with a current borrowing capacity of $600.0 million from a group of 27 lenders. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company’s competitive bid feature) under the 2004 Unsecured Facility is currently LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The facility has a competitive bid feature, which allows the Company to solicit bids from lenders under the facility to borrow up to $300,000 at interest rates less than the current LIBOR plus 65 basis point spread. As of June 30, 2005, the Company’s outstanding borrowings carried a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 41 points. The Company may also elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The 2004 Unsecured Facility also currently

 

25

 



 

requires a 20 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears. The 2004 Unsecured Facility matures in November 2007, with an extension option of one year, which would require a payment of 25 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the facility upon exercise.

 

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:

If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from three rating agencies, one of which is S&P or Moody’s, the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of the two highest ratings. If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from only one agency, it will be considered to have no rating or less than BBB-/Baa3/BBB- per the above table.

 

The terms of the 2004 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 real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), 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 interest coverage, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, the Company will not during any four consecutive fiscal quarters make distributions with respect to common stock or other common equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of 90 percent of funds from operations (as defined in the facility agreement) for such period, subject to certain other adjustments.

 

The lending group for the 2004 Unsecured Facility consists of: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent; Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent; The Bank of Nova Scotia, New York Agency, as documentation agent; Wachovia Bank, National Association, as documentation agent; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agent; SunTrust Bank, as senior managing agent; PNC Bank, National Association, as managing agent; Citicorp North America, Inc., as managing agent; US Bank National Association, as managing agent; Allied Irish Bank; Amsouth Bank; Bank of China, New York Branch; The Bank of New York; Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B.; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas; Bank Hapoalim B.M.; Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd.; UFJ Bank Limited, New York Branch; Bank of Ireland; Comerica Bank; Chang HWA Commercial Bank, Ltd., New York Branch; First Commercial Bank, New York Agency; First Horizon Bank, A Division of First Tennessee Bank, N.A.; Bank of Taiwan; Chiao Tung Bank, Ltd.; Citizens Bank; Hua Nan Commercial Bank, New York Agency; and Taipei Bank, New York Agency.

 

2002 Unsecured Facility

On September 27, 2002, the Company obtained an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2002 Unsecured Facility”) with a borrowing capacity of $600,000 from a group of 15 lenders. The interest rate on borrowings under the 2002 Unsecured Facility was LIBOR plus 70 basis points. The Company could have instead elected an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The 2002 Unsecured Facility also required a 20 basis point facility fee on the borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears.

 

 

26

 



 

Although the 2002 Unsecured Facility was scheduled to mature in September 2005, in conjunction with obtaining the 2004 Unsecured Facility, the Company drew funds on the new facility to repay in full and terminate the 2002 Unsecured Facility on November 23, 2004.

 

SUMMARY

As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $163,000 and $107,000, respectively, under the 2004 Unsecured Facility.

MINORITY INTERESTS

 

OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

Minority interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to (i) preferred units (“Preferred Units”) and common units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the Company, and (ii) interests in consolidated joint ventures for the portion of such properties not owned by the Company.

 

PREFERRED UNITS

The Operating Partnership has one class of outstanding Preferred Units, the Series C Preferred Units, and one class of Preferred Units, the Series B Preferred Units, which were converted on June 13, 2005, each of which are described as follows:

 

Series C

In connection with the Company’s issuance of $25,000 of Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, the Company acquired from the Operating Partnership $25,000 of Series C Preferred Units (the “Series C Preferred Units”), which have terms essentially identical to the Series C preferred stock. See Note 14 – Stockholders’ Equity – Preferred Stock.

 

Series B

The Series B Preferred Units had a stated value of $1,000 per unit and were preferred as to assets over any class of common units or other class of preferred units of the Company, based on circumstances per the applicable unit certificates. The quarterly distribution on each Series B Preferred Unit was an amount equal to the greater of (i) $16.875 (representing 6.75 percent of the Series B Preferred Unit stated value of an annualized basis) or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series B Preferred Unit determined as if such unit had been converted into common units, subject to adjustment for customary anti-dilution rights.

 

On June 13, 2005, the Operating Partnership caused the mandatory conversion (the “Conversion”) of all 215,018 outstanding Series B Preferred Units into 6,205,425.72 Common Units. Each Series B Preferred Unit was converted into whole and fractional Common Units equal to (x) the $1,000 stated value, divided by (y) the conversion price of $34.65. A description of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Common Units is set forth below.

 

COMMON UNITS

Certain individuals and entities own common units in the Operating Partnership. A common unit and a share of common stock of the Company have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Common units are redeemable by the common unitholders at their option, subject to certain restrictions, on the basis of one common unit for either one share of common stock or cash equal to the fair market value of a share at the time of the redemption. The Company has the option to deliver shares of common stock in exchange for all or any portion of the cash requested. The common unitholders may not put the units for cash to the Company or the Operating Partnership. When a unitholder redeems a common unit, minority interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced and the Company’s investment in the Operating Partnership is increased.

11.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLAN

 

All employees of the Company who meet certain minimum age and period of service requirements are eligible to participate in a 401(k) defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan allows eligible employees to defer up to 15 percent of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. The Company, at management’s discretion, may match employee contributions and/or make discretionary contributions. Total expense recognized by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 3005 and 2004 was $100 and $100, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $200 and $200, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS

Pursuant to agreements with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey, the Company is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes (“PILOT”) on certain of its properties located in Jersey City, as follows:

 

The Harborside Plaza 5 agreement, as amended, which commenced in 2002 upon substantial completion of the property, as defined, is for a term of 20 years. The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs. Total Project Costs, as defined are $159,625. The PILOT totaled $798 and $798 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $1,596 and $1,596 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

29

 



 

 

The Harborside Plaza 4-A agreement, which commenced in 2000, is for a term of 20 years. The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project costs, as defined, and increases by 10 percent in years 7, 10 and 13 and by 50 percent in year 16. Total Project costs, as defined, are $45,497. The PILOT totaled $227 and $227 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $455 and $455 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

The 101 Hudson Street agreement commenced in 1991 for a term of 15 years and expires in 2006. The PILOT currently provides for the payment of a minimum annual service charge of approximately $4,193, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the PILOT agreement. The PILOT totaled $1,048 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, and $1,421 for the period of time during the six months ended June 30, 2005 for which the Company owned the property.

 

The Harborside Plaza 2 and 3 agreement, commenced in 1990 and expires August 31, 2005.

At the conclusion of the above-referenced PILOT agreements, it is expected that the properties will be assessed by the municipality and be subject to real estate taxes at the then prevailing rates.

 

LITIGATION

The Company is a defendant in litigation arising in the normal course of its business activities. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a materially adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition taken as whole.

Mack, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Martin S. Berger, director; Robert F. Weinberg, a former director; and Timothy M.

Cali, a former director) or certain other common unitholders without the express written consent of a representative of the Mack Group, the Robert Martin Group, the Cali Group or the specific certain other common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group, Cali Group members or the specific certain other common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains

(collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”). The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property. The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2010. Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group, Cali Group members or the specific certain other common unitholders.

TENANT LEASES

 

The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2021.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

To maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50 percent in value of the outstanding shares of the Company may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of any taxable year of the Company, other than its initial taxable year (defined to include certain entities), applying certain constructive ownership rules. To help ensure that the Company will not fail this test, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide for, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the Company must maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demands written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.

 

PREFERRED STOCK

On March 14, 2003, in a publicly registered transaction with a single institutional buyer, the Company completed the sale and issuance of 10,000 shares of eight-percent Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) in the form of 1,000,000 depositary shares ($25 stated value per depositary share). Each depositary share represents 1/100th of a share of Series C Preferred Stock. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $24,836 from the sale.

 

The Series C Preferred Stock has preference rights with respect to liquidation and distributions over the common stock. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, except under certain limited conditions, will not be entitled to vote on any matters. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors until dividends have been paid in full. At June 30, 2005, there were no dividends in arrears. The Company may issue unlimited additional preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock but may not issue

 

31

 



 

any preferred stock senior to the Series C Preferred Stock without the consent of two-thirds of its holders. The Series C Preferred Stock is essentially on an equivalent basis in priority with the Preferred Units.

 

Except under certain conditions relating to the Company’s qualification as a REIT, the Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to March 14, 2008. On and after such date, the Series C Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at $25 per depositary share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On September 13, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the Company’s repurchase program under which the Company was permitted to purchase up to an additional $150,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”). From that date through its last purchases on January 10, 2003, the Company purchased and retired, under the Repurchase Program, 3,746,400 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $104,512. The Company has a remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional $45,488 of its outstanding common stock, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.

 

STOCK OPTION PLANS

In May 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan under which a total of 2,500,000 shares have been reserved for issuance. No options have been granted through June 30, 2005 under this plan. In September 2000, the Company established the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (“2000 Employee Plan”) and the 2000 Director Stock Option Plan (“2000 Director Plan”). In May 2002, shareholders of the Company approved amendments to both plans to increase the total shares reserved for issuance under both of the 2000 plans from 2,700,000 to 4,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 shares under the 2000 Employee Plan and from 200,000 to 350,000 shares under the 2000 Director Plan). In 1994, and as subsequently amended, the Company established the Mack-Cali Employee Stock Option Plan (“Employee Plan”) and the Mack-Cali Director Stock Option Plan (“Director Plan”) under which a total of 5,380,188 shares (subject to adjustment) of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance (4,980,188 shares under the Employee Plan and 400,000 shares under the Director Plan). Stock options granted under the Employee Plan in 1994 and 1995 became exercisable over a three-year period. Stock options granted under the 2000 Employee Plan and those options granted subsequent to 1995 under the Employee Plan become exercisable over a five-year period. All stock options granted under both the 2000 Director Plan and Director Plan become exercisable in one year. All options were granted at the fair market value at the dates of grant and have terms of ten years. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 6.2 and 6.5 years, respectively.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS

The Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which commenced January 1, 1999, allows non-employee directors of the Company to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their annual retainer fee into deferred stock units. The deferred stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the directors’ termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plan. Deferred stock units are credited to each director quarterly using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of deferred stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 3,388 and 3,128 deferred stock units were earned, respectively. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there were 32,690 and 29,222 director stock units outstanding, respectively.

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

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.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment

In October 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires companies to categorize share-based payments as either liability or equity awards. For liability awards, companies will remeasure the award at fair value at each balance sheet date until the award is settled. Equity classified awards are measured at the grant-date fair value and are not remeasured. SFAS 123R will be effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Awards issued, modified, or settled after the effective date will be measured and recorded in accordance with SFAS 123R. The Company believes that the implementation of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

SFAS No. 153, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions” (“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 requires non-monetary exchanges to be accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gain or loss, if the transactions meet a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable. SFAS No. 153 is effective for non-monetary transactions occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company believes that the implementation of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

GENERAL

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and the notes thereto (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). Certain defined terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Financial Statements.

 

Executive Overview

 

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “Company”) is one of the largest real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the United States, with a total market capitalization of approximately $5.4 billion at June 30, 2005. The Company has been involved in all aspects of commercial real estate development, management and ownership for over 50 years and has been a publicly-traded REIT since 1994. The Company owns or has interests in 267 properties (collectively, the “Properties”), primarily class A office and office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 29.9 million square feet, leased to approximately 2,100 tenants. The properties are located primarily in suburban markets of the Northeast, some with adjacent, Company-controlled developable land sites able to accommodate up to 8.5 million square feet of additional commercial space.

 

The Company’s strategy is to be a significant real estate owner and operator in its core, high-barriers-to-entry markets, primarily in the Northeast.

 

As an owner of real estate, almost all of the Company’s earnings and cash flow is derived from rental revenue received pursuant to leased space at the Properties. Key factors that affect the Company’s business and financial results include the following:

 

the general economic climate;

the occupancy rates of the Properties;

rental rates on new or renewed leases;

tenant improvement and leasing costs incurred to obtain and retain tenants;

the extent of early lease terminations;

operating expenses;

cost of capital; and

the extent of acquisitions, development and sales of real estate.

 

Any negative effects of the above key factors could potentially cause a deterioration in the Company’s revenue and/or earnings. Such negative effects could include: (1) failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire; (2) failure to renew or execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases; and (3) tenant defaults.

 

A failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire or to execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases may be affected by several factors such as: (1) the local economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors; and (2) local real estate conditions, such as oversupply of office and office/flex space or competition within the market.

 

As a result of the economic climate since 2001, substantially all of the real estate markets the Company operates in materially softened. Demand for office space declined significantly and vacancy rates increased in each of the Company’s core markets over the period. Through August 1, 2005, the Company’s core markets continued to be weak. The percentage leased in the Company’s consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties decreased to 90.0 percent at June 30, 2005 as compared to 91.1 percent at March 31, 2005 and 91.2 percent at December 31, 2004. Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future, and leases that expire at the period end date. Excluded from percentage leased at December 31, 2004 was a non-strategic, non-core 318,224 square foot property acquired through a deed in lieu of foreclosure,

 

39

 



 

which was 12.7 percent leased at December 31, 2004 and subsequently sold on February 4, 2005. Leases that expired as of June 30, 2005, March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 aggregate 243,492, 117,183 and 439,697 square feet, respectively, or 0.8, 0.4 and 1.5 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively. Market rental rates have declined in most markets from peak levels in late 2000 and early 2001. Rental rates on the Company’s space that was re-leased (based on first rents payable) during the three months ended June 30, 2005 decreased an average of 18.5 percent compared to rates that were in effect under the prior leases, as compared to a 7.9 percent decrease for the same period in 2004. The Company believes that vacancy rates may continue to increase in most of its markets in 2005. As a result, the Company’s future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions.

 

The remaining portion of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should help the reader understand:

 

property transactions during the period;

critical accounting policies and estimates;

results of operations for the current quarter as compared to the same period last year;

results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods last year; and

liquidity and capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the Financial Statements 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 reported period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. The Company’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

 

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. Interest capitalized by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $1.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and $2.6 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 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.

 

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

 

Leasehold interests

Remaining lease term



Buildings and improvements

5 to 40 years



Tenant improvements

The shorter of the term of the

 

related lease or useful life



Furniture, fixtures and equipment

5 to 10 years



 

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.

 

 

41

 



 

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 will be 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 rental 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.

 

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. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

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.

 

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

 

42

 



 

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. 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.

 

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.

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.3 million, or 0.3 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004, due primarily to increases in the percentage of space leased at the properties in 2005 from 2004. Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.8 million, or 11.7 percent, for 2005 over 2004, due primarily to an increased amount of total property expenses in 2005. Parking and other income for the Same-Store Properties increased $3.1 million, or 126.7 percent, due primarily to an increase in lease termination fees in 2005.

 

Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $1.1 million, or 6.4 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004, due primarily to property tax rate increases in certain municipalities in 2005, partially offset by lower assessments on certain properties in 2004. Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.7 million, or 18.1 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004, due primarily to increased rates in 2005 as compared to 2004. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.2 million, or 6.4 percent, due primarily to increased insurance costs of $1.1 million.

 

General and administrative decreased by $0.3 million, or 3.9 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004. This decrease was due primarily to compensation costs incurred in connection with the resignation of the Company’s president in 2004.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $7.0 million, or 22.1 percent, for 2005 over 2004. Of this increase, $1.2 million, or 3.9 percent, is attributable to the Same-Store Properties, and $5.8 million is due to the Acquired Properties.

 

Interest expense increased $3.9 million, or 14.5 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004. This increase was due primarily to higher average debt balances, partially offset by an overall decrease in interest rates on the Company’s debt in 2005.

 

Interest income decreased $0.1 million, or 45.5 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004. This decrease was due primarily to lower interest income from mortgage notes receivable in 2005 and lower average cash balances in 2005.

 

 

45

 



 

Income from continuing operations before minority interests and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures increased to approximately $30.8 million in 2005 from $30.4 million in 2004. The increase of approximately $0.4 million is due to the factors discussed above.

 

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures (net of minority interest) decreased $0.5 million, or 54.2 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004. The decrease was due primarily to the sale of the Pacifica Plaza Phase I and II in Daly City, California, in late 2004 resulting in a reduction of $0.5 million in 2005 and a reduction in 2005 of $0.3 million as a result of operations at the G&G Martco joint venture, partially offset by an increase from operations of the Harborside South Pier Hyatt Hotel Venture of $0.3 million.

 

Net income available to common shareholders increased by approximately $20.2 million, from $15.8 million in 2004 to $36.0 million in 2005. This increase was the result of realized gains and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property of approximately $20.2 million in 2005, a decrease in minority interest in Operating Partnership of $1.3 million, and an increase in income from continuing operations before minority interests and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $0.4 million. These were partially offset by a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $1.2 million and a decrease in equity of earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $0.5 million.

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties increased $2.0 million, or 0.8 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004, due primarily to increases in the percentage of space leased at the properties in 2005 from 2004. Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties increased $3.5 million, or 11.3 percent, for 2005 over 2004, due primarily to an increased amount of total property expenses in 2005. Parking and other income for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.6 million, or 27.1 percent, due primarily to an increase in lease termination fees in 2005.

 

Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $2.2 million, or 6.8 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004, due primarily to property tax rate increases in certain municipalities in 2005, partially offset by lower assessments on certain properties in 2004. Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $2.0 million, or 10.0 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004, due primarily to more severe weather in 2005 as compared to 2004. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $3.6 million, or 9.9 percent, due primarily to 2005 increases in insurance costs of $1.4 million, snow removal costs of $1.3 million, property operations salaries and related expenses of $0.4 million, and property maintenance costs of $0.4 million as compared to 2004.

 

General and administrative increased by $0.7 million, or 4.6 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004. This increase was due primarily to increases in professional fees and state income taxes aggregating $1.5 million in 2005 as compared to 2004, partially offset by compensation costs incurred in connection with the resignation of the Company’s president in 2004.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $13.1 million, or 21.3 percent, for 2005 over 2004. Of this increase, $3.2 million, or 5.3 percent, is attributable to the Same-Store Properties, and $9.9 million is due to the Acquired Properties.

 

Interest expense increased $3.2 million, or 5.8 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004. This increase was due primarily to higher average debt balances, partially offset by an overall increase in interest rates on the Company’s debt in 2005.

 

Interest income decreased $0.8 million, or 80.4 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004. This decrease was due primarily to lower interest income from mortgage notes receivable in 2005 and lower average cash balances in 2005.

Income from continuing operations before minority interests and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased to $60.3 million in 2005 from $61.0 million in 2004. The decrease of approximately $0.7 million is due to the factors discussed above.

 

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures (net of minority interest) decreased $1.0 million, or 85.3 percent, for 2005 as compared to 2004. The decrease was due primarily to the sale of the Pacifica Plaza Phase I and II in Daly City, California, in late 2004 resulting in a reduction of $1.0 million in 2005 and a reduction in 2005 of $0.7 million as a result of operations at the G&G Martco joint venture, partially offset by an increase from operations of the at Harborside South Pier Hyatt Hotel Venture of $0.5 million.

 

Gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures (net of minority interest) amounted to $0.6 million in 2004 on account of the receipt of additional contingent purchase consideration from the Harborside North Pier Sale. Gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures (net of minority interest) amounted to $31,000 in 2005 due to the sale of the Company’s interest in the Ashford Loop joint venture.

 

Net income available to common shareholders increased by $16.4 million, from approximately $42.1 million in 2004 to $58.5 million in 2005. This increase was the result of realized gains and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property of $10.5 million in 2004, realized gains and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property of $9.0 million in 2005, and a decrease in minority interest in Operating Partnership of approximately $1.6 million. These were partially offset by a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $2.3 million, a decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.0 million, a decrease in income from continuing operations before minority interests and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $0.7 million, gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint venture of $0.6 million in 2004, and minority interest in consolidated joint ventures of $0.1 million in 2005.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

Overview:

Historically, rental revenue has been the principal source of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and dividends, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures. To the extent that the Company’s cash flow from operating activities is insufficient to finance its non-recurring capital expenditures such as property acquisitions, development and construction costs and other capital expenditures, the Company has and expects to continue to finance such activities through borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt and equity financings.

 

The Company believes that with the general downturn in the economy in recent years, and the softening of the Company’s markets specifically, it is reasonably likely that vacancy rates may continue to increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may continue to decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may continue to increase in most or all of its markets in 2005. As a result of the potential negative effects on the Company’s revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space, the Company’s cash flow could be insufficient to cover increased tenant installation costs over the short-term. If this situation were to occur, the Company expects that it would finance any shortfalls through borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt and equity financings.

 

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its working capital, net cash provided by operating activities and from its revolving credit facility. The Company frequently examines potential property acquisitions and development projects and, at any given time, one or more of such acquisitions or development projects may be under consideration. Accordingly, the ability to fund property acquisitions and development projects is a major part of the Company’s financing requirements. The Company expects to meet its financing requirements through funds generated from operating activities, proceeds from property sales, long-term and short-term borrowings (including draws on the Company’s revolving credit facility) and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.

REIT Restrictions:

To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must make annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains. Moreover, the Company intends to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders which, based upon current policy, in the aggregate would equal approximately $155.8 million on an annualized basis. However, any such distribution, whether for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, would only be paid out of available cash, including borrowings and other sources, after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock dividends and distributions, and scheduled debt service on the Company’s debt.

 

Property Lock-Ups:

The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprising 59 properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.5 billion, which were originally contributed by members of either the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Martin S. Berger, director; Robert F. Weinberg, a former director; and Timothy M. Jones, former president), the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, director and John J. Cali, a former director) or certain other common unitholders without the express written consent of a representative of the Mack Group, the Robert Martin Group, the Cali Group or the specific certain other common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group, Cali Group members or the specific certain other common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”). The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property. The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2010. Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group, Cali Group members or the specific certain other common unitholders.

 

Unencumbered Properties:

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had 248 unencumbered properties, totaling 24.5 million square feet, representing 83.2 percent of the Company’s total portfolio on a square footage basis.

 

Credit Ratings:

The Company has three investment grade credit ratings. Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) have each assigned their BBB rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. S&P and Fitch have also assigned their BBB- rating to existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Company. Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) has assigned its Baa2 rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and its Baa3 rating to its existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Company.

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.4 million to $15.7 million at June 30, 2005, compared to $12.3 million at December 31, 2004. The increase is comprised of the following net cash flow items:

(a)    Actual weighted average LIBOR contract rates relating to the Company’s outstanding debt as of June 30, 2005 of 3.24 percent was used in calculating revolving credit facility.

 

Senior Unsecured Notes:

On January 25, 2005, the Company issued $150.0 million face amount of 5.125 percent senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2015 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The proceeds from the issuance (net of selling commissions and discount) of approximately $148.1 million were used primarily to reduce outstanding borrowings under the 2004 unsecured facility.

 

On April 15, 2005, the Company issued $150.0 million face amount of 5.05 percent senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2010 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The proceeds from the issuance (net of selling commissions and discount) of approximately $148.8 million were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the 2004 unsecured facility.

 

51

 



 

The terms of the Company’s senior unsecured notes (which totaled approximately $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2005) include certain restrictions and covenants which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum amount of debt leverage, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of debt service coverage and the maximum amount of unsecured debt as a percent of unsecured assets.

 

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility:

2004 Unsecured Facility

On November 23, 2004, the Company obtained an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2004 Unsecured Facility”) with a current borrowing capacity of $600.0 million from a group of 27 lenders. As of August 1, 2005, the Company had $202.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the 2004 Unsecured Facility.

 

The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company’s competitive bid feature) under the 2004 Unsecured Facility is currently LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The facility has a competitive bid feature, which allows the Company to solicit bids from lenders under the facility to borrow up to $300,000 at interest rates less than the current LIBOR plus 65 basis point spread. As of June 30, 2005, the Company’s outstanding borrowings carried a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 41 points. The Company may also elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The 2004 Unsecured Facility also currently requires a 20 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears. The 2004 Unsecured Facility matures in November 2007, with an extension option of one year, which would require a payment of 25 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the facility upon exercise.

 

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:

If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from three rating agencies, one of which is S&P or Moody’s, the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of the two highest ratings. If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from only one agency, it will be considered to have no rating or less than BBB-/Baa3/BBB- per the above table.

 

The 2004 Unsecured Facility matures in November 2007, with an extension option of one year, which would require a payment of 25 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the facility upon exercise. The Company believes that the 2004 Unsecured Facility is sufficient to meet its revolving credit facility needs.

 

The terms of the 2004 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 real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), 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 interest coverage, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, the Company will not during any four consecutive fiscal quarters make distributions with respect to common stock or other common equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of 90 percent of funds from operations (as defined in the facility agreement) for such period, subject to certain other adjustments.

 

52

 



 

Mortgages, Loans Payable and Other Obligations:

The Company has mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Company’s rental properties. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.

 

On April 1, 2005, the Company repaid the $45.5 million mortgage loan with New York Life Insurance Company collateralized by One River Centre, which was scheduled to mature on May 10, 2005, using borrowings under the unsecured credit facility.

 

On April 29, 2005, the Company repaid the $35.0 million loan with Principal Life Insurance Company collateralized by Mack-Cali Centre VI, which was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2005, using borrowings under the unsecured credit facility.

 

Debt Strategy:

The Company does not intend to reserve funds to retire the Company’s senior unsecured notes or its mortgages, loans payable and other obligations upon maturity. Instead, the Company will seek to refinance such debt at maturity or retire such debt through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities on or before the applicable maturity dates. If it cannot raise sufficient proceeds to retire the maturing debt, the Company may draw on its revolving credit facility to retire the maturing indebtedness, which would reduce the future availability of funds under such facility. As of August 1, 2005, the Company had $202.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company has approximately $215.9 million of mortgage indebtedness maturing from August 1, 2005 through January 1, 2006. The Company is reviewing various refinancing options, including the public issuance of additional unsecured debt, the issuance in public or private transactions of preferred equity instruments and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt, some or all of which may be completed during 2005. The Company anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company’s capital and liquidity needs both in the short and long-term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, the Company’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed below may be adversely affected.

Share Repurchase Program:

On September 13, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the Company’s repurchase program under which the Company was permitted to purchase up to an additional $150.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”). From that date through its last purchases on January 10, 2003, the Company purchased and retired, under the Repurchase Program, 3.7 million shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $104.5 million. The Company has a remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional $45.5 million of its outstanding common stock, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.

 

Shelf Registration Statements:

The Company has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock and warrants of the Company. On July 1, 2004, the Company filed post-effective amendment number 1 to this shelf registration statement, adding depositary shares and otherwise updating the disclosures contained therein. Such post-effective amendment was declared effective by the SEC on July 12, 2004. No securities have been sold under this registration statement.

 

The Company and the Operating Partnership also have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Original Joint Shelf”) filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and guarantees of the Company and debt securities of the Operating Partnership, under which $1,700,283,478 of securities have been sold. On July 1, 2004, the Company and the Operating Partnership filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “New Joint Shelf”) with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.5 billion in common stock, preferred stock, warrants, depositary shares and guarantees of the Company and debt securities of the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the New Joint Shelf is a combined registration statement which constitutes post-effective amendment no. 1 to the Original Joint Shelf, and the $2.5 billion available for issuance under the New Joint Shelf included the $574,716,522 of remaining availability under the Original Joint Shelf. The New Joint Shelf was declared effective by the SEC on July 22, 2004. As of August 1, 2005, $2.20 billion remained available for issuance under the New Joint Shelf.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt:

The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures aggregating $123.5 million, at June 30, 2005, is non-recourse to the Company except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations. The Company has severally guaranteed repayment of approximately $7.5 million on a mortgage at the Harborside South Pier Hyatt hotel joint venture. The Company has also posted an $8.0 million letter of credit in support of the Harborside South Pier joint venture, $4.0 million of which is indemnified by Hyatt.

 

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are further discussed in Note 4 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures to the Financial Statements.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings:

On February 12, 2003, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority selected The Mills Corporation and the Company to redevelop the Continental Airlines Arena site (“Arena Site”) for mixed uses, including retail. In March 2003, Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., or Hartz, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, for Bergen County, seeking to enjoin the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, or NJSEA, from entering into a contract with Mills and the Company for the redevelopment of the Continental Arena site. In May 2003, the court denied Hartz’s request for an injunction and dismissed its suit for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. In June 2003, the NJSEA held hearings on Hartz’s protest, and on a parallel protest filed by another rejected developer, Westfield, Inc. (“Westfield”). On September 10, 2003, the NJSEA ruled against Hartz’s and Westfield’s protests, and on May 14, 2004, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey rejected Hartz’s contention that the NJSEA lacks statutory authority to allow retail development of its property. The Supreme Court of New Jersey has declined to review the Appellate Division’s decision. Hartz, Westfield and four taxpayers (the “Braha Appellants”) have also filed appeals from the NJSEA’s final decision based on other grounds. In a separate action commenced in January 2004, Hartz and Westfield also appealed the NJSEA’s approval and execution of the formal redevelopment agreement with the Meadowlands Venture. Several appeals filed by Hartz, Westfield and others, including certain environmental groups, that challenge certain approvals received by the Meadowlands Venture from the NJSEA, the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection remain pending before the Appellate Division. The Appellate Division, in a decision rendered on November 24, 2004, completed its review of Hartz’s Open Public Records Act appeal and the remand proceeding it earlier ordered and upheld the findings of the Law Division in the remand proceeding. The Supreme Court of New Jersey has declined to review the Appellate Division’s decision. The NJSEA held further hearings on December 15 and 16, 2004, at Hartz’s request to review certain additional facts in support of its bid protest. The Hearing Officer rendered his Supplemental Report and Recommendation to the NJSEA on March 4, 2005, finding no merit in the protests presented by Hartz and Westfield. The NJSEA accepted the Supplemental Report and Recommendation on March 30, 2005 and Hartz appealed that decision to the Appellate Division. Hartz also filed an application with the Appellate Division seeking an Order staying the construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project, which officially commenced on March 24, 2005, and on April 27, 2005, the Braha Appellants filed a separate appeal with the Appellate Division also challenging the NJSEA’s decision to allow construction to begin and seeking an Order staying the construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project. The Appellate Division denied Hartz’s application for a stay of construction by Order dated May 5, 2005. The Appellate Division has not made any determinations with respect to these appeals. On April 5, 2005 the New York Football Giants filed a Verified Complaint seeking an emergency order halting construction pending a final decision on its contention that construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project violates its lease agreements with the NJSEA. The Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, has scheduled a hearing on that application for August 5, 2005. On March 18, 2005, the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers issued a permit to the Meadowlands Venture to authorize the filling of 7.69 acres of wetlands and other waters of the United States in connection with the Meadowlands Xanadu project. Three separate lawsuits have been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, challenging the Corps’ decision to issue the permit to the Meadowlands Venture and seeking to set aside the permit and remand the matter to the Corps for further proceedings consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act and the Clean Water Act. The first suit was filed on March 30, 2005, by the Sierra Club, the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group, Citizen Lobby, Inc. and the New Jersey Environmental Federation. Additional suits were filed on May 16 and May 31, 2005, respectively, by Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., (together with one of its officers as an individual named plaintiff) and the Borough of Carlstadt. The Meadowlands Venture is named as a defendant, along with the Corps, in all three of these suits. On May 3, 2005, the Sierra Club filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to stop certain construction activities on the project. The Court denied that motion on July 6, 2005. The Meadowlands Venture and the Corps have filed motions to dismiss the Hartz complaint for lack of standing. Similar motions may be filed to dismiss the Carlstadt complaint. Once these standing issues are resolved, the court will address the merits of the claims through motions for summary judgment. The New Jersey Builders’ Association has commenced an action, which is pending in the Appellate Division, alleging that NJSEA has failed to meet a purported obligation to provide affordable housing at the Meadowlands Complex. The Builders’ Association has filed an application for injunctive relief seeking to enjoin further construction of the project. That application is pending. The Company is not a party to that action.

 

The Company believes that the Meadowlands Venture’s proposal and the planned project comply with applicable laws, and the Meadowlands Venture intends to continue its vigorous defense of its rights under the executed Redevelopment Agreement and recently executed Ground Lease. Although there can be no assurance, the Company does not believe that the pending lawsuits will have any material affect on its ability to develop the Meadowlands Xanadu project.

 

The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition taken as a whole.

 

Inflation

 

The Company’s leases with the majority of its tenants provide for recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, which reduce the Company’s exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation.

 

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

We consider portions of this information, including the documents incorporated by reference, to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of such act. Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations and projections of revenue and other financial items. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

Among the factors about which we have made assumptions are:

 

changes in the general economic climate; conditions, including those affecting industries in which our principal tenants compete;

 

 

any failure of the general economy to recover from the current economic downturn;

 

 

 

 

56

 



 

 

the extent of any tenant bankruptcies or of any early lease terminations;

 

 

our ability to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents;

 

 

changes in the supply of and demand for office, office/flex and industrial/warehouse properties;

 

 

changes in interest rate levels;

 

 

changes in operating costs;

 

 

our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts;

 

 

the availability of financing;

 

 

changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters; and

 

 

other risks associated with the development and acquisition of properties, including risks that the development may not be completed on schedule, that the tenants will not take occupancy or pay rent, or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing its business plan, the primary market risk to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Company’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors.

 

Approximately $1.8 billion of the Company’s long-term debt and other obligations bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows (in thousands) based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt. The interest rates on the variable rate debt as of June 30, 2005 was LIBOR plus 65 basis points.

While the Company has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in losses to the Company which could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.

 

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s president and chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s president and chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

 

On February 12, 2003, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority selected The Mills Corporation and the Company to redevelop the Continental Airlines Arena site (“Arena Site”) for mixed uses, including retail. In March 2003, Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., or Hartz, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, for Bergen County, seeking to enjoin the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, or NJSEA, from entering into a contract with Mills and the Company for the redevelopment of the Continental Arena site. In May 2003, the court denied Hartz’s request for an injunction and dismissed its suit for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. In June 2003, the NJSEA held hearings on Hartz’s protest, and on a parallel protest filed by another rejected developer, Westfield, Inc. (“Westfield”). On September 10, 2003, the NJSEA ruled against Hartz’s and Westfield’s protests, and on May 14, 2004, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey rejected Hartz’s contention that the NJSEA lacks statutory authority to allow retail development of its property. The Supreme Court of New Jersey has declined to review the Appellate Division’s decision. Hartz, Westfield and four taxpayers (the “Braha Appellants”) have also filed appeals from the NJSEA’s final decision based on other grounds. In a separate action commenced in January 2004, Hartz and Westfield also appealed the NJSEA’s approval and execution of the formal redevelopment agreement with the Meadowlands Venture. Several appeals filed by Hartz, Westfield and others, including certain environmental groups, that challenge certain approvals received by the Meadowlands Venture from the NJSEA, the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection remain pending before the Appellate Division. The Appellate Division, in a decision rendered on November 24, 2004, completed its review of Hartz’s Open Public Records Act appeal and the remand proceeding it earlier ordered and upheld the findings of the Law Division in the remand proceeding. The Supreme Court of New Jersey has declined to review the Appellate Division’s decision. The NJSEA held further hearings on December 15 and 16, 2004, at Hartz’s request to review certain additional facts in support of its bid protest. The Hearing Officer rendered his Supplemental Report and Recommendation to the NJSEA on March 4, 2005, finding no merit in the protests presented by Hartz and Westfield. The NJSEA accepted the Supplemental Report and Recommendation on March 30, 2005 and Hartz appealed that decision to the Appellate Division. Hartz also filed an application with the Appellate Division seeking an Order staying the construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project, which officially commenced on March 24, 2005, and on April 27, 2005, the Braha Appellants filed a separate appeal with the Appellate Division also challenging the NJSEA’s decision to allow construction to begin and seeking an Order staying the construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project. The Appellate Division denied Hartz’s application for a stay of construction by Order dated May 5, 2005. The Appellate Division has not made any determinations with respect to these appeals. On April 5, 2005 the New York Football Giants filed a Verified Complaint seeking an emergency order halting construction pending a final decision on its contention that construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project violates its lease agreements with the NJSEA. The Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, has scheduled a hearing on that application for August 5, 2005. On March 18, 2005, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a permit to the Meadowlands Venture to authorize the filling of 7.69 acres of wetlands and other waters of the United States in connection with the Meadowlands Xanadu project. Three separate lawsuits have been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, challenging the Corps’ decision to issue the permit to the Meadowlands Venture and seeking to set aside the permit and remand the matter to the Corps for further proceedings consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act and the Clean Water Act. The first suit was filed on March 30, 2005, by the Sierra Club, the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group, Citizen Lobby, Inc. and the New Jersey Environmental Federation. Additional suits were filed on May 16 and May 31, 2005, respectively, by Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., (together with one of its officers as an individual named plaintiff) and the Borough of Carlstadt. The Meadowlands Venture is named as a defendant, along with the Corps, in all three of these suits. On May 3, 2005, the Sierra Club filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to stop certain construction activities on the project. The Court denied that motion on July 6, 2005. The Meadowlands Venture and the Corps have filed motions to dismiss the Hartz complaint for lack of standing. Similar motions may be filed to dismiss the Carlstadt complaint. Once these standing issues are resolved, the court will address the merits of the claims through motions for summary judgment. The New Jersey Builders’ Association has commenced an action, which is pending in the Appellate Division, alleging that NJSEA has failed to meet a purported obligation to provide affordable housing at the Meadowlands Complex. The Builders’ Association has filed an application for injunctive

relief seeking to enjoin further construction of the project. That application is pending. The Company is not a party to that action.

 

The Company believes that the Meadowlands Venture’s proposal and the planned project comply with applicable laws, and the Meadowlands Venture intends to continue its vigorous defense of its rights under the executed Redevelopment Agreement and recently executed Ground Lease. Although there can be no assurance, the Company does not believe that the pending lawsuits will have any material affect on its ability to develop the Meadowlands Xanadu project.

 

The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition taken as a whole.

 

There are no other material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business, to which the Company is a party or to which any of the Properties is subject.
