MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
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 and third-parties. As of June 30, 2006, the Company owned or had interests in 319 properties plus developable land (collectively, the Properties). The Properties aggregate approximately 35.8 million square feet, which are comprised of 212 office buildings and 96 office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 35.4 million square feet (which include 42 office buildings and one office/flex building aggregating 5.2 million square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, two retail properties totaling approximately 17,300 square feet, a 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 nine 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 Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures for the Companys 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.

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 $131.8 million and $118.8 million (including land of $59.5 million and $58.9 million) as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts. |
The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
8
Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
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) managements 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 managements evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenants lease and the Companys 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 Companys existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenants 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 Companys real estate properties held for use may be impaired. A propertys value is impaired only if managements 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 Companys
9
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 managements 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 Companys 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 managements opinion, the estimated 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 (revised December 2003), 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, if any, 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 entitys 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 evaluated its joint ventures with regards to FIN 46. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has identified its Meadowlands Xanadu joint venture 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 Companys investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if managements 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
10
the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment. Management does not believe that the value of any of the Companys 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. |
Marketable
Securities |
The Company classifies its marketable securities among three categories: Held-to-maturity, trading and available-for-sale. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders equity until realized. A decline in the market value of any marketable security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. Any impairment would be charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security established. |
The Companys marketable securities at December 31, 2005 carried a value of $50.8 million and consisted of 1,468,300 shares of common stock in CarrAmerica Realty Corporation, which were all acquired in 2005. The Companys marketable securities at December 31, 2005 were all classified as available-for-sale and were carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. The Company recorded an unrealized holding loss of $790,000 as other comprehensive loss in 2005. From January 1, 2006 through January 25, 2006, the Company purchased an additional 336,500 shares of common stock in CarrAmerica for a total purchase price of $11.9 million.
The Company received dividend income of approximately $902,000 from its holdings in CarrAmerica stock during the three months ended March 31, 2006, which is recorded in interest and dividend income. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company sold all of its 1,804,800 shares of CarrAmerica common stock realizing a gain of approximately $15.1 million, which is recorded in gain on sale of marketable securities.
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 $725,000 and $847,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $1,446,000 and $1,739,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 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 $817,000 and $949,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively and $1,666,000 and $1,906,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 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 Companys 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 |
11
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) managements 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. Escalations and recoveries from tenants 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. Construction services revenue includes fees earned by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients. Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method. Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts. A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract. This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates. Real estate services revenue includes property management, facilities management, leasing commission fees and other services. Payroll reimbursements revenue represents payroll and related costs reimbursed generally from clients. Other income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services arranged for the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations. |
Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts |
Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants and clients to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Managements 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 |
12
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, 2006 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares) and common shareholders (62,367,568 shares), and distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (15,681,625 common units) for all such holders of record as of July 6, 2006 with respect to the second quarter 2006. The second quarter 2006 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, 2006. The preferred stock dividends, common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on July 17, 2006. |
The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2005 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares) and common shareholders (62,028,306 shares), and distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (13,650,439 common units) for all such holders of record as of January 5, 2006 with respect to the fourth quarter 2005. The fourth 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 December 6, 2005. The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on January 13, 2006. The preferred stock dividends payable were paid on January 17, 2006.
Costs Incurred
For Preferred
Stock Issuances |
Costs incurred in connection with the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of the Companys stock on the business day preceding the grant date. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under the Companys 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, and in 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB No. 123(R), which did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations. These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (Restricted Stock Awards) and stock options at the
13
grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded restricted stock and stock options expense of $884,000 and $828,000, respectively and $1,614,000 and $1,625,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 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 below:

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS |
Gale/Green Transactions
On May 9, 2006, the Company completed the acquisitions of: (i) The Gale Company and certain of its related businesses, which engage in construction, property management, facilities management, and leasing services (collectively, the Gale Company); (ii) three office properties; and (iii) indirect interests in a portfolio of office properties, located primarily in New Jersey, which were owned indirectly by The Gale Company and its affiliates (Gale) and affiliates of S.L. Green Realty Corporation (SL Green). The agreements to complete the aforementioned acquisitions (collectively, the Gale/Green Transactions) required that the Company complete all of the acquisitions.
The Gale Company was acquired by the Company for initial purchase consideration of approximately $22.3 million consisting of the issuance by the Company of 224,719 common units of the Operating Partnership and the payment of approximately $12 million in cash, which was primarily funded through borrowing under the Companys revolving credit facility. Additionally, the agreement to acquire the Gale Company (Gale Agreement) contains earn-out provisions providing for the payment of contingent purchase consideration of up to $18 million in cash based upon the achievement of Gross Income and NOI (as such terms are defined in the Gale Agreement) targets and other events for the three years following the closing date.
In connection with the Companys acquisition of the Gale Company, Mr. Stanley C. Gale and certain other affiliates of Gale are restricted from competing with the Company or soliciting the Companys employees for a period of four years expiring on May 9, 2010.
In addition, the Gale Agreement provides for the Company to acquire certain other ownership interests in up to 11 real estate projects (the Non-Portfolio Properties), subject to obtaining certain third party consents and the satisfaction of various project-related and/or other conditions. Each of the Companys acquired interests in the Non-Portfolio Properties will provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter an affiliate of Gale controlled by Stanley C. Gale (Gale Affiliate) has participation rights ("Gale Participation Rights") in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Companys capital contributions, plus (b) an internal rate of return (IRR) of 10 percent per annum, accruing on the date or dates of the Companys investments. The Company anticipates that Mr. Gale will cause the Gale Affiliate to transfer certain of his interests in the Non-Portfolio Properties, directly or indirectly, to several former employees of Gale, some of whom are current employees of the Company, including Mark Yeager, one of the Companys executive officers.
Through June 30, 2006, the Company completed six of the acquisitions of interests in the Non-Portfolio Properties, which included the acquisitions of: a 530,000 square foot, mixed-use office/retail complex; an office property in development; two vacant land parcels and two pre-developed projects. The aggregate cost of the completed acquisitions was approximately $17.8 million.
In connection with the execution of the Gale Agreement, the Company entered into agreements to acquire three office properties directly and indirect ownership interests in entities which own a portfolio of office properties (collectively, the Gale/Green Agreements). Under the Gale/Green Agreements, the Company acquired 100 percent of the ownership interests in three office properties located in New Jersey, aggregating 516,162 square feet, (the Wholly-Owned Properties). The Wholly-Owned Properties were acquired for approximately $106 million, consisting of the assumption of $39.9 million in existing mortgage indebtedness and the payment of $66.1 million in cash, which was funded primarily through borrowing under the Companys revolving credit facility.
Also, as part of the Gale/Green Agreements, the Company entered into a joint venture with SL Green, known as Mack-Green-Gale LLC (Mack-Green), to hold a 96 percent interest and act as general partner of Gale SLG NJ Operating Partnership, L.P. (the OP LP). The Company acquired its interest in Mack-Green for approximately $116 million, which was funded primarily through borrowing under the Companys revolving credit facility. The OP LP owns 100 percent of entities which own 25 office properties (collectively, the OP LP Properties) which aggregate 3.5 million square feet (consisting of 17 office properties aggregating 2.3 million square feet located in New Jersey and eight properties aggregating 1.2 million square feet located in Troy, Michigan), as well as a minor, non-controlling interest in four office properties aggregating 419,000 square feet located in Naperville, Illinois. For
15
a discussion of the ownership interests in Mack-Green, see Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures Mack-Green-Gale LLC.
The Company has not yet obtained all the information necessary to finalize its estimates to complete the purchase price allocations related to the Gale/Green Transactions. The purchase price allocations will be finalized once the information identified by the Company has been received, which should not be longer than one year from the date of acquisition.

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES |
The debt of the Companys unconsolidated joint ventures aggregating $539.9 million as of June 30, 2006 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
16
complex is expected to feature a family entertainment, recreation and retail destination comprising five themed zones: sports; entertainment; childrens 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 million development rights fee and fixed rent over the term. Fixed rent will be in the amount of $1,000 per year for the first 15 years, increasing to $7.5 million from the 16th to the 18th years, increasing to $8.4 million in the 19th year, increasing to $8.7 million in the 20th year, increasing to $9.0 million in the 21st year, then to $9.2 million 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 fill wetlands pursuant to the permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement, as amended, Mills conveyed certain vacant land, known as the Empire Tract, to a conservancy trust. On June 30, 2005, the $160 million development rights fee 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 from escrow: (i) approximately $37.2 million to defease certain debt obligations of the NJSEA; and (ii) $26.8 million to the NJSEA, which, in turn, paid such amount to the Meadowlands Venture for the Empire Tract. Subsequently, the remainder of the monies were released from the escrow account to the NJSEA.
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 $32.5 million, which it fulfilled in April 2005. Pursuant to the Meadowlands Xanadu Venture Agreement, Mills has received subordinated capital credit in the venture of approximately $118.0 million, 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 $60.0 million 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 partners 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 Companys 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
17
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 control future development. If this occurs, Mills will have the right to develop the additional phases, subject to the Companys 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:
|
|
Mills has certain drag-along rights and the Company has certain tag-along rights in connection with such sale of interest to a third party; and |
|
|
Mills has a right of first refusal with respect of a sale by the Company of its partnership interests. |
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 NJSEA 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., (Hartz), filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, for Bergen County, seeking to enjoin NJSEA from entering into a contract with the Meadowlands Venture for the redevelopment of the Continental Airlines Arena site. In May 2003, the court denied Hartzs request for an injunction and dismissed its suit for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. In June 2003, the NJSEA held hearings on Hartzs protest, and on a parallel protest filed by another rejected developer, Westfield, Inc. (Westfield). On September 10, 2003, the NJSEA ruled against Hartzs and Westfields protests. Hartz and Westfield, as well as Elliot Braha and three other taxpayers (collectively Braha), thereafter filed appeals from the NJSEAs final decision. By decision dated May 14, 2004, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey rejected the appellants contention that the NJSEA lacks statutory authority to allow retail development of its property. The Appellate Division also remanded Harts claim under the Open Public Records Acts, seeking disclosure of additional documents from NJSEA, to the Law Division for further proceedings. The Supreme Court of New Jersey declined to review the Appellate Divisions decision. On August 19, 2004, the Law Division issued a decision resolving Hartzs Open Public Records Act claim and ordered NJSEA to disclose some, but not all, of the documents Hartz was seeking. The Appellate Division, in a decision rendered on November 24, 2004, upheld the findings of the Law Division in the remand proceeding. The Supreme Court of New Jersey declined to review the Appellate Divisions decision. At Hartzs request, the NJSEA thereafter held further hearings on December 15 and 16, 2004, to review certain additional facts in support of Hartzs and Westfields bid protest. Braha, as a taxpayer, did not have standing to participate in the supplemental protest hearing. On March 4, 2005, the Hearing Officer rendered his Supplemental Report and Recommendation to the NJSEA, finding no merit in the protests presented by Hartz and Westfield. The NJSEA accepted the Hearing Officers Supplemental Report and Recommendation on March 30, 2005 and Hartz and Braha have appealed that decision to the Appellate Division.
In January 2004, Hartz and Westfield also appealed to the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey from the NJSEAs December 2003 approval and execution of the Redevelopment Agreement with the Meadowlands Venture.
In November 2004, Hartz and Westfield filed additional appeals in the Appellate Division challenging NJSEAs resolution authorizing the execution of the First Amendment to the Redevelopment Agreement with Meadowlands Venture and the ground lease with the Meadowlands Venture.
All of the above appeals have been consolidated by the Appellate Division and are pending.
On September 30, 2004, the Borough of Carlstadt filed an action in the Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division, challenging Meadowlands Xanadu, which asserts claims that are substantially the same as claims asserted by Hartz
18
and Braha in the above appeals. By Order dated November 19, 2004, the Law Division transferred that matter to the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division. This matter was voluntarily dismissed by Carlstadt in accordance with a March 22, 2006, Settlement Agreement and Release between Carlstadt and 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 (NJMC) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) remain pending before the Appellate Division. Some of these appeals challenge NJDEPs issuance of a stream encroachment permit, waterfront development permit, and coastal zone consistency determination for Meadowlands Xanadu. Other of these appeals are from NJDEPs and NJMCs issuance of reports in connection with a consultation process the NJSEA was statutorily required to undertake in connection with any NJSEA-development project.
A Hartz affiliate and a trade association have filed an appeal from an advisory opinion favorable to the Meadowlands Venture issued by the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control concerning the availability of special concessionaire permits. That appeal is also pending in the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey.
Three separate lawsuits have been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, challenging a permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in connection with the project. 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 (together with one of its officers as an individually-named plaintiff) and the Borough of Carlstadt. The Sierra Club also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to stop certain construction activities on the project, which the Court denied on July 6, 2005. The parties have filed cross motions for summary judgment on the merits of the Sierra Clubs claims. A decision is expected sometime in the latter part of 2006. On October 26, 2005, the court granted the motions of the Meadowlands Venture and the USACE to dismiss the Hartz complaint for lack of standing. The deadline for appealing that decision has passed, so the Hartz action is ended. On October 31, 2005, the USACE filed a motion to dismiss the complaint filed by the Borough of Carlstadt for lack of standing. On February 7, 2006, the Court granted the motion and dismissed the Borough of Carlstadts complaint in its entirety. On March 9, 2006, Carlstadt filed a notice of appeal of this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. This appeal has been dismissed pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and Release executed by Carlstadt and the Meadowlands Venture.
On April 5, 2005, the New York Football Giants (Giants) filed an emergent application with the Supreme Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, seeking an injunction stopping all work on the Meadowlands Xanadu project as being in violation of its existing lease with the NJSEA. After hearing oral argument on the application on August 5, 2005, the court denied the Giants motion for preliminary injunctive relief. On June 22, 2006, the court entered a Stipulation and Consent Order that dismissed without prejudice the parties respective claims.
The New Jersey Builders Association (NJBA) has commenced an action, which is pending in the Appellate Division, alleging that the NJSEA has failed to meet a purported obligation to provide affordable housing at the Meadowlands Complex and seeking, among other relief, an order enjoining the construction of Meadowlands Xanadu. NJBA filed an application for preliminary injunctive relief seeking to enjoin further construction of Meadowlands Xanadu, which the Appellate Division denied on July 28, 2005. The Meadowlands Venture is not a party to that action.
On January 25, 2006, the Bergen Cliff Hawks Baseball Club, LLC (the Cliff Hawks), filed a complaint against the Company and Mills, alleging that the Company and Mills breached an agreement to provide the Cliff Hawks with a minor league baseball park as part of the Xanadu Project. This matter is pending.
The Company believes that the Meadowlands Ventures proposal and the planned project comply with applicable laws, and the Meadowlands Venture intends to continue its vigorous defense of its rights under the Redevelopment Agreement and 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.

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. (AFE). The venture was formed to acquire land for future development, located on the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City, New Jersey, adjacent to the Companys Harborside Financial Center office complex. Among other things, the partnership agreement provides for a preferred return on the Companys invested capital in the venture, in addition to the Companys proportionate share of the ventures profit, as defined in the agreement.
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.

SOUTH PIER AT HARBORSIDE HOTEL DEVELOPMENT
On November 17, 1999, the Company entered into a joint venture with Hyatt Corporation (Hyatt) to develop a 350-room hotel on the South Pier at Harborside Financial Center, Jersey City, New Jersey, which was completed and commenced initial operations in July 2002.

The venture had a mortgage loan with a commercial bank with a $62.9 million 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 $40.0 million mortgage loan, (with a balance as of June 30, 2006 of $39.0 million) collateralized by the hotel property, as well as capital contributions from the Company and Hyatt of $10.8 million each. The new loan carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points and matures in
20

The Companys acquired interests in the Route 93 Ventures will provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter an affiliate of Gale has participation rights in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution from its interests to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Companys capital contributions, plus (b) an IRR of 11 percent per annum.

UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY |
2004 Unsecured Facility
On November 23, 2004, the Company obtained an unsecured revolving credit facility (2004 Unsecured Facility) with a borrowing capacity of $600.0 million (expandable to $800.0 million). The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Companys 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 $300.0 million at interest rates less than the current LIBOR plus 65 basis point spread. As of June 30, 2006, the Companys outstanding borrowings carried a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 42 points. The Company may also elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lenders prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The 2004 Unsecured Facility, which also required a 20
29
basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears, was scheduled to mature in November 2007.
On September 16, 2005, the Company extended and modified the 2004 Unsecured Facility with a group of 23 lenders (reduced from 27). The facility was extended for an additional two years and now matures in November 2009, 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 addition, the facility fee was reduced by five basis points to 15 basis points at the BBB/Baa2 pricing level.
The interest rate and the facility fee are subject to adjustment, on a sliding scale, based upon the operating partnerships unsecured debt ratings. In the event of a change in the Operating Partnerships unsecured debt rating, the interest and facility fee rates will be adjusted in accordance with the following table:

(a) If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from two rating agencies, one of which is Standard & Poors Rating Services (S&P) or Moodys Investors Service (Moodys), the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of such ratings. If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from three rating agencies, one of which is S&P or Moodys, 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 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; Wachovia Bank, National Association; and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agents; SunTrust Bank, as senior managing agent; US Bank National Association; Citicorp North America, Inc.; and PNC Bank National Association, as managing agents; and Bank of China, New York Branch; The Bank of New York; Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B.; The Royal Bank of Scotland, plc; Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd.; The Bank of Toyko Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (successor by merger to UFJ Bank Limited), New York Branch; The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland; Bank Hapoalim B.M.; Comerica Bank; Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, Ltd., New York Branch; First Commercial Bank, New York Agency; Chiao Tung Bank Co., Ltd., New York Agency; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas; and Hua Nan Commercial Bank, New York Agency.
SUMMARY

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 to common units on June 13, 2005, each of which are described as follows:
Series C
In connection with the Companys issuance of $25 million of Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, the Company acquired from the Operating Partnership $25 million 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 Companys investment in the Operating Partnership is increased.
On February 28, 2006, in connection with the acquisition of Capital Office Park, the Company issued 1,942,334 common units in the Operating Partnership, valued at approximately $87.2 million.
On May 9, 2006, in connection with the Gale/Green Transactions, the Company issued 224,719 common units in the Operating Partnership, valued at approximately $10.3 million.
