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 (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, 2003, the Company owned or had interests in 263 properties plus developable land (collectively, the "Properties"). The Properties aggregate approximately 28.9 million square feet, which are comprised of 154 office buildings and 96 office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 28.4 million square feet (which include five office buildings and one office/flex building aggregating 1.8 million square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, three stand-alone retail properties totaling approximately 118,040 square feet (which includes one retail property totaling approximately 100,740 square feet owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest), one hotel (which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest) and three parcels of land leased to others. The Properties are located in eight states, primarily in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

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

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental Property

        Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Included in total rental property is construction and development in-progress of $151,314 and $168,700 (including land of $52,816 and $50,481) as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, 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.

8



        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

        On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company's real estate properties may be impaired. A property's value is impaired only if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property are 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.

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

        Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FASB") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supercedes FASB No. 121. FASB No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. FASB No. 144

9



retains the requirements of FASB No. 121 regarding impairment loss recognition and measurement. In addition, it requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. As the statement requires implementation on a prospective basis, properties which were identified as held for sale by the Company prior to January 1, 2002 are presented in the accompanying financial statements in a manner consistent with the presentation prior to January 1, 2002. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold from January 1, 2002 forward are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 6.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, Net

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

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Deferred 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 $1,233 and $1,176 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $2,485 and $2,353 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, 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 $730 and $706 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $1,492 and $1,696 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Restricted Cash

        Restricted cash includes tenant security deposits and escrow and reserve funds for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance, capital improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs established pursuant to certain mortgage financing arrangements.

Derivative Instruments

        The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company's rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income ("OCI") and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period. See Note 9 — Interest Rate Contract.

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. 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. Reimbursements 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.

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 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 may elect to treat one or more of its corporate subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"). In general, a TRS of the Company may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging

11



facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. The Company has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as a TRS. 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, 2003 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders of record as of July 3, 2003 (1,000,000 depositary shares), common shareholders of record on that same date (58,059,000 shares), distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders (7,800,497 common units) on that same date and preferred distributions payable to preferred unitholders (215,456 preferred units) for the second quarter 2003. The second quarter 2003 preferred stock dividends of $0.6722 per depositary share, common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.63 per common share and common unit, as well as the second quarter preferred unit distributions of $18.1818 per preferred unit were approved by the Board of Directors on June 17, 2003. The preferred stock dividends payable were paid on July 15, 2003. The common stock dividends and common and preferred unit distributions payable were paid on July 21, 2003.

        The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2002 represents dividends payable to common shareholders of record as of January 6, 2003 (57,490,417 shares), distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders (7,813,806 common units) on that same date and preferred distributions payable to preferred unitholders (215,894 preferred units) for the fourth quarter 2002. The fourth quarter 2002 common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.63 per share and per common unit, as well as the fourth quarter preferred unit distribution of $18.1818 per preferred unit, were approved by the Board of Directors on December 19, 2002 and paid on January 17, 2003.

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 Options

        With respect to the Company's stock options which were granted prior to 2002, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation 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 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, if any, is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The Company's policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing

12



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. In 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB No. 123, which requires, on a prospective basis, that the value of stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. The Company did not grant any stock options in 2002. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded stock options expense of $50 and $88, respectively, for stock options granted in 2003. 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:

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

4.     INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

        The debt of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures aggregating $156,019 as of June 30, 2003 is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exclusions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations, and except as otherwise indicated below.

HPMC

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

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

On June 4, 1999, the Company acquired an additional 0.1 percent interest in G&G Martco through the issuance of common units. The venture has a mortgage loan with a $50,000 balance at June 30, 2003 secured by its office property.

AMERICAN FINANCIAL EXCHANGE L.L.C.

        On May 20, 1998, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Columbia Development Company, L.L.C. 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, Hudson County, New Jersey, adjacent to the Company's Harborside Financial Center office complex. The Company holds a 50 percent interest in the joint venture. 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 constructed a parking facility, a portion of which is currently licensed to a parking operator. Such parking facility serves a ferry service between the Company's Harborside property and Manhattan. In the fourth quarter 2000, the joint venture started construction of Plaza 10, a 577,575 square-foot office building, on certain of the land owned by the venture. Plaza 10 is 100 percent pre-leased to Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. ("Schwab") for a 15-year term. The lease agreement obligates the venture, among other things, to deliver space to the tenant by required timelines and offers expansion options, at the tenant's election. Such options may obligate the venture to construct an additional building or, at the Company's option, to make space available in any of its

15



existing Harborside properties. Should the venture be unable to or choose not to provide such expansion space, the venture would be liable to Schwab for its actual damages, in no event to exceed $15,000. The amount of Schwab's actual damages, up to $15,000, has been guaranteed by the Company. The project, which commenced initial operations in September 2002, is currently projected to cost the Company approximately $145,000, of which $134,720 has been incurred by the Company through June 30, 2003. The venture has an agreement with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey, in which it is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes ("PILOT"). The agreement is for a term of 20 years. The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs, as defined, with periodic increases, as defined. Total Project Costs, per the agreement, are the greater of $78,821 or actual Total Project Costs, as defined. The Company performs management and leasing services for the property owned by the joint venture and recognized $78 and $0 in fees for such services for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $303 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

RAMLAND REALTY ASSOCIATES L.L.C. (One Ramland Road)

        On August 20, 1998, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with S.B. New York Realty Corp. to form Ramland Realty Associates L.L.C. The venture was formed to own, manage and operate One Ramland Road, a 232,000 square-foot office/flex building and adjacent developable land, located in Orangeburg, Rockland County, New York. In August 1999, the joint venture completed redevelopment of the property and placed the office/flex building in service. The Company holds a 50 percent interest in the joint venture. The venture has a mortgage loan with a $15,109 balance at June 30, 2003 secured by its office/flex property. The mortgage bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 175 basis points and matures in January 2004. The loan provides for a one-year extension option upon payment of a fee and subject to certain conditions. In 2001, the property's then principal tenant, Superior Bank was closed by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named receiver. The tenant continued to meet its rental payment obligations through June 2002. In July 2002, the tenant vacated the premises and the FDIC notified the joint venture that it was rejecting the lease as of July 16, 2002. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the tenant's ability to meet its obligations through the remainder of the term of its lease, the joint venture wrote off unbilled rents receivable of $1,573 and deferred leasing costs of $705, which is included in the Company's equity in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Following Superior Bank's closure in June 2002, the venture's management determined it was unlikely a prospective tenant would retain tenant improvements previously made to Superior Bank's space and, accordingly, the venture accelerated amortization of those tenant improvements and recorded a charge of $3,586, which is included in the Company's equity in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The Company performs management, leasing and other services for the property owned by the joint venture and recognized $3 and $25 in fees for such services for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $8 and $49 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

ASHFORD LOOP ASSOCIATES L.P. (1001 South Dairy Ashford/2100 West Loop South)

        On September 18, 1998, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Prudential to form Ashford Loop Associates L.P. The venture was formed to own, manage and operate 1001 South Dairy Ashford, a 130,000 square-foot office building acquired on September 18, 1998, and 2100 West Loop South, a 168,000 square-foot office building acquired on November 25, 1998, both located in Houston, Harris County, Texas. The Company holds a 20 percent interest in the joint venture. The Company performed management and leasing services through March 2002 for the properties owned by the joint venture and recognized $0 and $45 in fees for such services for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Under certain circumstances, Prudential has the right to convert its interest in the venture into common stock of the Company at a discount to the stock's fair market value, based on the underlying fair value of Prudential's interest in the venture at the time of

16



conversion. The Company, at its option, can elect to exchange cash in lieu of stock in an amount equal to the fair value of Prudential's interest.

        In May 2002, the Company sent a notice to Prudential electing to exercise its option under the buy-sell provisions of the joint venture agreement. Subsequently, Prudential sent notice to the Company that it was exercising its option to put its interest in the joint venture to the Company in exchange for common stock of the Company as described above. In November 2002, the Company and Prudential entered into a first amendment to their joint venture agreement pursuant to which: (i) the Company retracted its notice of exercise of the buy-sell provisions of the joint venture agreement, (ii) Prudential retracted its notice of exercise of its option to put its interest in the joint venture to the Company in exchange for common stock of the Company, as described above, (iii) the mechanics of the exercise by either party of their respective buy-sell, sale and exchange rights ("Exit Rights") were clarified and confirmed, and (iv) each party agreed to a one-year moratorium on the exercise of their respective Exit Rights while the parties attempt to reposition the assets of the joint venture.

ARCAP INVESTORS, L.L.C.

        In 1999, the Company invested $20,000 in ARCap Investors, L.L.C., a joint venture with several participants, which was formed to invest in sub-investment grade tranches of commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS").

As of December 31, 2001, the Company held a 20.1 percent interest in the common equity of ARCap Investors, L.L.C. On December 12, 2002, the Company sold its interest in the venture for $20,225.

MC-SJP MORRIS V REALTY, LLC AND MC-SJP MORRIS VI REALTY, LLC

        The Company has an agreement with SJP Properties, which provides for a cooperative effort in seeking approvals to develop up to approximately 1.8 million square feet of office development on certain vacant land owned by the Company and SJP Properties, located in Hanover and Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey. The agreement provides that the parties share equally in the costs associated with seeking such requisite approvals. Upon mutual consent, the Company and SJP Properties may enter into one or more joint ventures to construct on the vacant land, or seek to dispose of their respective vacant land parcels subject to the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement with SJP Properties, on August 24, 2000, the Company entered into a joint venture with SJP Properties to form MC-SJP Morris V Realty, LLC and MC-SJP Morris VI Realty, LLC, which acquired developable land for approximately $16,193. The acquired land is able to accommodate approximately 650,000 square feet of office space and is located in Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey. The venture entered into an agreement pertaining to the acquired land and two other land parcels in Parsippany with an insurance company to provide for a guarantee on the funding of the development of four office properties, aggregating 850,000 square feet. Such agreement provides, if the venture elects to develop, that the insurance company will be admitted to the joint venture and provide all the equity required to fund the development, subject to certain conditions. The venture has a mortgage loan with a $17,983 balance at June 30, 2003 secured by its land, which is guaranteed by the insurance company. The mortgage bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points and matures in March 2004.

        On November 17, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Hyatt Corporation ("Hyatt") to develop a 350-room hotel on the South Pier at Harborside Financial Center, Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey, which was completed and commenced initial operations in July 2002.

6.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supercedes FASB No. 121. FASB No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. FASB No. 144 retains the requirements of FASB No. 121 regarding impairment loss recognition and measurement. In addition, it requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. As the statement requires implementation on a prospective basis, properties which were identified as held for sale by the Company prior to January 1, 2002 are presented in the accompanying financial statements in a manner consistent with the presentation prior to January 1, 2002. As the Company sold 1770 St. James Place (see Note 3) during the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company has presented this property as discontinued operations in its statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

        The following tables summarize income from discontinued operations (net of minority interest) and the related realized gain on sale of rental property (net of minority interest) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

        On March 14, 2003, the Company exchanged $25,000 face amount of existing 7.18 percent senior unsecured notes due December 31, 2003, with interest payable monthly in arrears, for $26,105 face amount of 5.82 percent senior unsecured notes due March 15, 2013, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The exchange was completed with Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association ("TIAA"). In addition, the Company also repurchased $25,000 face amount of notes due December 31, 2003 from TIAA for $26,105. The Company recorded $1,402 in loss on early retirement of debt, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 for costs incurred in connection with the notes transactions.

        On June 12, 2003, the Company issued $100,000 face amount of 4.60 percent senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2013 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The total proceeds from the issuance (net of selling commissions and discount) of approximately $99,064 was used primarily to repay $62,800 of mortgage debt at a discount of $1,700 (recorded as a reduction in loss on early retirement of debt, net), and to reduce outstanding borrowings under the 2002 Unsecured Facility, as defined in Note 8. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded $1,540 in loss on early retirement of debt, net, for the write-off of the unamortized balance of an interest rate contract in conjunction with the repayment of mortgage debt (see Note 9: Mortgages and Loans Payable—Interest Rate Contract). The unsecured notes were issued at a discount of approximately $286, which is being amortized over the term as an adjustment to interest expense.

        On June 25, 2003, the Company repurchased $45,283 face amount of existing 7.18 percent senior unsecured notes due December 31, 2003, with interest payable monthly in arrears, for $46,707 from TIAA. The repurchase fully retired the 7.18 percent senior unsecured notes which were due December 31, 2003. The Company recorded $1,437 in loss on early retirement of debt, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 for costs incurred in connection with the notes repurchase.

8.     REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES

2002 UNSECURED FACILITY

        On September 27, 2002, the Company obtained an unsecured revolving credit facility ("2002 Unsecured Facility") with a current borrowing capacity of $600,000 from a group of 14 lenders. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the credit line is currently LIBOR plus 70 basis points. The Company may instead elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender's prime rate or

23



the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The 2002 Unsecured Facility also requires a 20 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears. The 2002 Unsecured Facility matures in September 2005, with an extension option of one year, which would require upon exercise a payment of 25 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the credit line.

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

Operating Partnership's
Unsecured Debt Ratings:
S&P/Moody's/Fitch (a)

  Interest Rate–
Applicable Basis Points
Above LIBOR

  Facility Fee
Basis Points

No rating or less than BBB-/Baa3/BBB-   120.0   30.0
BBB-/Baa3/BBB-   95.0   20.0
BBB/Baa2/BBB (current)   70.0   20.0
BBB+/Baa1/BBB+   65.0   15.0
A-/A3/A- or higher   60.0   15.0

(a)
If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from two rating agencies, one of which is Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"), 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 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 Company previously had an unsecured revolving credit facility ("2000 Unsecured Facility") with a borrowing capacity of $800,000 from a group of 24 lenders. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the credit line was LIBOR plus 80 basis points. The Company had the option to elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender's prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The 2000 Unsecured Facility also required a 20 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears. In conjunction with obtaining the 2002 Unsecured Facility, the Company repaid in full and terminated the 2000 Unsecured Facility on September 27, 2002.

SUMMARY

        As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $95,000 and $73,000, respectively, under the 2002 Unsecured Facility (with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $600,000).

(b)
The Company has the option to convert the mortgage loan, which is secured by 10 properties, to unsecured debt, subject to, amongst other things, the Company having investment grade ratings from two rating agencies (at least one of which must be from S&P or Moody's) at the time of conversion.

INTEREST RATE CONTRACT

        On July 18, 2002, the Company entered into a forward treasury rate lock agreement with a commercial bank.

On November 4, 2002, the Company paid $1,888 in settlement of the forward treasury rate lock agreement entered into in July 2002, which was being amortized to interest expense over a three-year period.

        In conjunction with the repayment of the Harborside—Plaza 1 mortgage on June 12, 2003, the Company wrote off the unamortized balance of the interest rate contract of $1,540, which was recorded in loss on early retirement of debt, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

variable rate mortgage debt (weighted average rate of 1.96 percent) and fixed rate debt of $1,600,457 (weighted average rate of 7.21 percent).

        As of December 31, 2002, the Company's total indebtedness of $1,752,372 (weighted average interest rate of 7.03 percent) was comprised of $105,178 of revolving credit facility borrowings and other variable rate mortgage debt (weighted average rate of 2.41 percent) and fixed rate debt of $1,647,194 (weighted average rate of 7.33 percent).

10.   MINORITY INTEREST

        Minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to preferred units in the Operating Partnership ("Preferred Units") and common units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the Company.

PREFERRED UNITS

        The Operating Partnership has two classes of preferred units—Series B and Series C, which are described as follows:

Series B

        The Series B Preferred Units have a stated value of $1,000 per unit and are 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 is an amount equal to the greater of (i) $16.875 (representing 6.75 percent of the 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. Each of the Series B Preferred Units may be converted at any time into common units at a conversion price of $34.65 per unit. Common units received pursuant to such conversion may be redeemed for an equal number of shares of common stock. At any time after June 11, 2005, the Company may cause the mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Units into common units at the conversion price of $34.65 per unit if, for at least 20 of the prior consecutive 30 days, the closing price of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $34.65. The Company is prohibited from taking certain actions that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of Series B Preferred Units without the consent of at least 662/3 percent of the outstanding Series B Preferred Units, including authorizing, creating or issuing any additional preferred units ranking senior to or equal with the Series B Preferred Units; provided, however, that such consent is not required if the Company issues preferred units ranking equal (but not senior) to the Series B Preferred Units in an aggregate amount up to the greater of (a) $200,000 in stated value and (b) 10 percent of the sum of (1) the combined market capitalization of the Company's common stock and the Operating Partnership's common and Series B Preferred Units, as converted into common stock, and (2) the aggregate liquidation preference on any of the Company's non-convertible preferred stock or the Operating Partnership's non-convertible preferred units. As of June 30, 2003, the calculation in the above clause (b) was $264,545.

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 and rank equal with the Series B Preferred Units. See Note 14: Stockholders' Equity—Preferred Stock.

26



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.

UNIT TRANSACTIONS

MINORITY INTEREST OWNERSHIP

        As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the minority interest common unitholders owned 11.9 percent (19.6 percent, including the effect of the conversion of Series B Preferred Units into common units) and 12.0 percent (19.7 percent including the effect of the conversion of Series B Preferred Units into common units) of the Company, respectively.

11.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 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. Under the 401(k) Plan, the Company, at management's discretion, may match employee contributions and/or make discretionary contributions. Total expense incurred by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $100 and $100, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $200 and $200, respectively.

12.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS

Harborside Financial Center

        Pursuant to an agreement with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey, the Company is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes ("PILOT") on its Harborside Plaza 2 and 3 properties. The agreement, which commenced in 1990, is for a term of 15 years. Such PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs, as defined, in year one and increases by $75 per annum through year 15. Total Project Costs, as defined, are $145,644. The PILOT totaled $953 and $934 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $1,906 and $1,869 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The PILOT on these two properties had been challenged as part of a larger effort by several neighboring towns to question past practices of the City of Jersey City in attracting large development. In May 2003, the Company, together with most of the other property owners whose abatements had been similarly challenged, entered into settlement agreements with the challenging towns, pursuant to which these challenges were being resolved. These settlement agreements are currently before the tax court hearing the challenges for ratification, and therefore have not yet been finalized. The Company does not believe that the final outcome will result in a material adverse impact to the Company as there is the potential that the majority of the expense at the properties may be passed along to the properties' tenants.

        The Company entered into a similar PILOT agreement with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey on its Harborside Plaza 4-A property. The 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 $252 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $454 and $497 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        Additionally, the Company entered into a similar PILOT agreement with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey on its Harborside Plaza 5 property. The agreement, which commences 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, as defined, and increases by 10 percent in years 7, 10 and 13, and by 50 percent in year 16. Total Project Costs, per the agreement, are the greater of $132,294 or actual Total Project Costs, as defined. The PILOT totaled $961 and none for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $1,623 and none for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        The Company is a defendant in other litigation arising in the normal course of business activities. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a materially adverse effect upon the Company.

13.   TENANT LEASES

        The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2018. Substantially all of the leases provide for annual base rents plus recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant's proportionate share of and/or increases in real estate taxes and certain operating costs, as defined, and the pass through of charges for electrical usage.

14.   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

28



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. See Note 10: Minority Interest—Preferred Units.

        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, 2003, 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 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.

COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES

        The Company has a share repurchase program which was authorized by its Board of Directors in September 2000 to purchase up to $150,000 of the Company's outstanding common stock ("Repurchase Program"). During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company purchased and retired 35,000 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $1,030. The Company purchased and retired a total of 3,746,400 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $104,512 from September 2000 through June 30, 2003, with a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $45,488.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

        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 plans from 2,700,000 to 4,350,000 shares (subject to adjustment) 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 have become exercisable over a three-year period and those

29



options granted under both the 2000 Employee Plan and Employee Plan subsequent to 1995 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, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 6.6 and 6.4 years, respectively.

STOCK COMPENSATION

        The Company has granted stock awards to officers, directors, and certain other employees of the Company (collectively, "Restricted Stock Awards"), which allow each person to receive a certain amount of shares of the Company's common stock generally over a five-year vesting period. Certain Restricted Stock Awards are contingent upon the Company meeting certain performance objectives.

30



        On January 2, 2003, the Company issued 168,000 shares of Restricted Stock Awards to its five executive officers (Mitchell E. Hersh, Timothy M. Jones, Barry Lefkowitz, Roger W. Thomas and Michael Grossman) and entered into certain other agreements in connection therewith, as well as certain agreements amending the terms of the restricted share award agreements with such executive officers originally entered into in 1999 and 2001.

        On June 27, 2003, the Company issued 5,500 shares of Restricted Stock Awards to its non-employee directors, which are scheduled to vest on January 1, 2004.

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, 2003 and 2002, 3,345 and 2,463 deferred stock units were earned, respectively. As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, there were 20,099 and 14,202 director stock units outstanding, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders 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.

16.   IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

FASB No. 145

        In April 2002, the FASB issued FASB No. 145, Rescission of FASB No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB No. 13 and Technical Corrections. This statement eliminates the requirement to report gains and losses from extinguishment of debt as extraordinary unless they meet the criteria of APB Opinion 30. Debt extinguishments that were classified as extraordinary in prior periods presented that do not meet the criteria of APB Opinion 30 shall be reclassified. FASB No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. As of January 1, 2003, the Company adopted FASB No. 145, and recorded costs associated with the early retirement of debt in continuing operations as "loss on early retirement of debt, net" in 2003.

FASB Interpretation No. 45

        In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, which changes the accounting for, and disclosure of certain guarantees. Beginning with transactions entered into after December 31, 2002, certain guarantees are to be recorded at fair value, which is different from prior practice, under which a liability was recorded only when a loss was probable and reasonably estimable. In general, the change applies to contracts or indemnification agreements that contingently require the Company to make payments to a guaranteed third-party based on changes in an underlying asset, liability, or an equity security of the guaranteed party.

        The accounting provisions apply for new or modified guarantees entered into after December 31, 2002. The Company has adopted the new disclosure requirements effective in the financial statements

36



for the year ended December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

FASB Interpretation No. 46

        On January 17, 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, the primary objective of which is to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights ("variable interest entities" or "VIEs") and to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE (the "primary beneficiary"). This new model applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without additional financial support. In addition, FIN 46 requires additional disclosures.

        FIN 46 applies immediately to VIEs created after January 31, 2003, and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to VIEs in which the Company held a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of FIN 46 on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

FASB No. 150

        In May 2003, the FASB issued FASB No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity.

        This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. For financial instruments created before the issuance date of this Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption, transition shall be achieved by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle by initially measuring the financial instruments at fair value or other measurement attribute required by this Statement. Restatement is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of FASB No. 150 on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        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.

Critical 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. Interest capitalized by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $2.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and $4.7 million and $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, 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.

        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 are 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.

Rental Property Held for Sale

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

        If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation

38



(amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

        Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supercedes FASB No. 121. FASB No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. SFAS No. 144 retains the requirements of FASB No. 121 regarding impairment loss recognition and measurement. In addition, it requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. As the statement requires implementation on a prospective basis, properties which were identified as held for sale by the Company prior to January 1, 2002 are presented in the accompanying financial statements in a manner consistent with the prior year's presentation. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold from January 1, 2002 forward are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 6 to the Financial Statements.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

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

        On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company's investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management's estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment. See Note 4 to the Financial Statements.

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 provide leasing services to the Properties and receive compensation based on space leased. The portion of such compensation, which is capitalized and amortized, approximated $0.7 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $1.5 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

        The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company's rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income ("OCI") and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period. See Note 9 to the Financial Statements—Interest Rate Contract.

39



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. 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 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 to the Financial Statements.

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.

Results from Operations

        As a result of the economic climate in 2002 and thus far in 2003, 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 markets since the first quarter of 2001. Through July 31, 2003, the Company's markets continued to be weak. The percentage leased in the Company's consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties at June 30, 2003 remained relatively unchanged at 92.2 percent from 92.3 percent at December 31, 2002 and decreased from 93.9 percent at June 30, 2002. 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. 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 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased an average of 7.7 percent compared to rates that were in effect under expiring leases, as compared to a 3.2 percent decrease for the same period in 2002. The Company believes that vacancy rates may continue to increase in most of its markets for the remainder of 2003.

        The Company has a focused strategy geared to attractive opportunities in high-barrier-to-entry markets, primarily predicated on the Company's strong presence in the Northeast region.

        Consistent with its strategy, in the fourth quarter 2000, the Company started construction of a 980,000 square-foot office property, known as Plaza 5, at its Harborside Financial Center office complex in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey. The project, which commenced initial operations in September 2002, is currently projected to cost approximately $260 million, of which $215.1 million has been incurred by the Company through June 30, 2003. Plaza 5 was approximately 51 percent leased as of June 30, 2003. As Plaza 5 is currently a development property in lease-up, it is excluded from percentage leased in the Company's consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties referred to above. Had Plaza 5 been included in the Company's consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties, the percentage leased would have been 1.5 percent lower as of June 30, 2003. Additionally, in the fourth quarter 2000, the Company, through a joint venture, started construction of a 577,575 square-foot office property, known as Plaza 10, on land owned by the joint venture located adjacent to the Company's Harborside complex. The Company holds a 50 percent interest in the joint venture. Among other things, the joint venture 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. Plaza 10 is currently projected to cost the Company approximately $145 million, of which $134.7 million has been incurred by the Company through June 30, 2003. The

40


project, which is 100 percent leased to Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. ("Schwab") for a 15-year term, commenced initial operations in September 2002. The lease agreement with Schwab obligates the venture, among other things, to deliver space to the tenant by required timelines and offers expansion options at the tenant's election. Such options may obligate the venture to construct an additional building or, at the Company's option, to make space available in any of its existing Harborside properties. Should the venture be unable to, or choose not to, provide such expansion space, the venture would be liable to Schwab for its actual damages, in no event to exceed $15 million. The amount of Schwab's actual damages, up to $15 million, has been guaranteed by the Company. The Company anticipates expending an additional approximately $55.2 million for the completion of Plaza 5 and Plaza 10, which it expects to fund primarily through drawing on its revolving credit facility.

        The following comparisons for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 ("2003"), as compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 ("2002"), make reference to the following: (i) the effect of the "Same-Store Properties," which represents all in-service properties owned by the Company at March 31, 2002 (for the three-month period comparison), and which represents all in-service properties owned by the Company at December 31, 2001 (for the six-month period comparisons), excluding Dispositions as defined below; (ii) the effect of the "Acquired Properties," which represent all properties acquired by the Company or commencing initial operations from April 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003 (for the three-month periods comparisons), and which represent all properties acquired by the Company or commencing initial operations from January 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003 (for the six-month period comparisons),and; (iii) the effect of the "Dispositions", which represent results for each period for those rental properties sold by the Company during the respective periods.

        Base rents for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.2 million, or 1.0 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002, due primarily to the effect of the straight-line rent adjustments on account of amendments to lease agreements with Regus Business Centre Corp. in 2002. Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties decreased $0.6 million, or 4.4 percent, for 2003 over 2002, due primarily to a reduction in the recovery of property expenses in 2003. Parking and other income for the Same-Store Properties decreased $1.4 million, or 30.1 percent, due primarily to a decrease in lease termination fees in 2003.

        Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $12,000, or 0.1 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. Utilities for the Same-Store Properties decreased $0.2 million, or 2.2 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002, due primarily to decreased usage in 2003. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.1 million, or 6.8 percent, due primarily to increased insurance costs and repair and maintenance expenses in 2003.

        Interest income decreased $0.2, or 40.6 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This decrease was due primarily to lower notes receivable balances in 2003.

        General and administrative decreased by $1.0 million, or 12.4 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This decrease was due primarily to a write-off of $500,000 from technology investments in 2002 and approximately $250,000 in costs for transactions not consummated in 2002.

        Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.8 million, or 6.7 percent, for 2003 over 2002. Of this increase, $2.8 million, or 10.2 percent, is due to the Acquired Properties, which is partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million or 3.5 percent, attributable to the Same-Store Properties.

        Interest expense increased $3.1 million, or 12.2 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This increase is due primarily to lower capitalized interest in 2003 on account of less development projects. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements.

        Loss on early retirement of debt, net, amounted to $1.0 million in 2003, which consisted primarily of a write-off of the unamortized balance of $1.5 million of an interest rate contract in conjunction with the repayment of certain mortgage debt and $1.4 million of costs incurred in connection with the repurchase of $45.3 million of 7.18 percent senior unsecured notes due December 31, 2003, which are reduced by a discount of $1.7 million taken in conjunction with the early retirement of the same mortgage debt referred to above. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements.

43



        Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures (net of minority interest) decreased $2.2 million, or 27.1 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This is due primarily to the sale of the ARCap joint venture investment in late 2002 resulting in a reduction in equity in earnings of $3.5 million in 2003, the sale of properties owned by the HPMC joint ventures in late 2002 and 2003 resulting in a reduction of $2.4 million in 2003, partially offset by the initial operations of a 577,575 square foot office property owned by the American Financial Exchange joint venture, resulting in an increase in 2003 of $3.8 million. See Note 4 to the Financial Statements.

        Income from continuing operations before minority interest and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased to $35.9 million in 2003 from $39.1 million in 2002. The decrease of approximately $3.2 million is due to the factors discussed above.

        Net income available to common stockholders decreased by $1.4 million, from $35.0 million in 2002 to $33.6 million in 2003. This decrease was a result of a decrease in 2003 in income from continuing operations before minority interest and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $3.2 million, a decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures, net of $2.2 million, preferred stock dividends of $0.7 million in 2003 and a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $0.1 million in 2003. This was partially offset by a decrease in minority interest of $0.5 million in 2003 and a realized gain on disposition of rental property of $4.3 million in 2003.

        Base rents for the Same-Store Properties decreased $1.8 million, or 0.7 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002, due primarily to decreases in space leased and rental rates at the properties in 2003. Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties increased $2.4 million, or 8.7 percent, for 2003 over 2002, due primarily to the increased amount of total property expenses in 2003. Parking and other income for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.1 million, or 1.3 percent.

        Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $0.5 million, or 1.7 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002, due primarily to property tax rate increases in certain municipalities in 2003, partially offset by lower assessments on certain properties in 2003. Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.2 million, or 1.3 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002, due primarily to increased usage in 2003 on account of the harsh winter. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $5.2 million, or 15.8 percent, due primarily to increased snow removal costs from the harsh winter in 2003.

        Interest income decreased $0.2, or 24.6 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This decrease was due primarily to lower notes receivable balances in 2003.

        General and administrative decreased by $0.9 million, or 6.3 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This decrease is due primarily to a write-off of $500,000 from technology investments in 2002, as well as lower salaries and related expense in 2003 over 2002 of $400,000.

        Depreciation and amortization increased by $7.1 million, or 13.8 percent, for 2003 over 2002. Of this increase, $1.1 million, or 2.1 percent, was attributable to the Same-Store Properties, primarily on account of properties previously held for sale in 2002 not being depreciated during the period held for sale, which were no longer being held for sale in 2003, and $6.0 million, or 11.7 percent, is due to the Acquired Properties.

        Interest expense increased $6.3 million, or 12.1 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This increase was due primarily to lower capitalized interest in 2003 on account of less development projects.

46



        Loss on early retirement of debt, net, amounted to $2.4 million in 2003, which consisted primarily of (a) $1.4 million in costs in connection with the exchange and repurchase of $50.0 million in 7.18 percent senior unsecured notes due December 31, 2003, (b) a write-off of the unamortized balance of $1.5 million of an interest rate contract in conjunction with the repayment of mortgage debt, and (c) $1.4 million of costs incurred in connection with the repurchase of $45.3 million of 7.18 percent senior unsecured notes due December 31, 2003, partially offset by a discount of $1.7 million taken in conjunction with the early retirement of the same mortgage debt referred to above. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements.

        Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures (net of minority interest) increased $1.0 million, or 14.2 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This was due primarily to the initial operations of a 577,575 square foot office property owned by the American Financial Exchange joint venture resulting in an increase in 2003 of $8.0 million, partially offset by (a) the sale of the ARCap joint venture investment in late 2002 resulting in a reduction $1.3 million in 2003, (b) the sale of properties owned by the HPMC joint ventures in late 2002 and 2003 resulting in a reduction of $3.6 million in 2003, and (c) a loss in 2003 of $1.6 million from the initial operations of the Harborside South Pier hotel. See Note 4 to the Financial Statements.

        Income from continuing operations before minority interest and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased to $70.2 million in 2003 from $83.4 million in 2002. The decrease of approximately $13.2 million is due to the factors discussed above.

        Net income available to common shareholders decreased by $12.1 million, from $75.7 million in 2002 to $63.6 million in 2003. This decrease was a result of realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property, net, of $2.0 million in 2002, a decrease in 2003 in income from continuing operations before minority interest and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $13.2 million, preferred stock dividends of $0.7 million in 2003 and a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $0.2 million in 2003. This was partially offset by an increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures, net, of $1.0 million, a decrease in minority interest of $1.8 million in 2003 and a realized gain on disposition of rental property of $1.2 million in 2003.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Historically, rental revenue has been the principal source of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service and capital expenditures, 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 acquisition and 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 current downturn in the economy in general, 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 may continue to increase in most or all of its markets during 2003. As a result of the potential negative effects on the Company's rental revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space, the Company's cash flow may be insufficient to cover increased tenant installation costs over the short-term. If this situation were to occur, the Company expects to finance any shortfall 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

47



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.

        As of June 30, 2003, the Company's total indebtedness of $1.7 billion (weighted average interest rate of 6.82 percent) was comprised of $127.2 million of revolving credit facility borrowings and other variable rate mortgage debt (weighted average rate of 1.96 percent) and fixed rate debt of $1.6 billion (weighted average rate of 7.21 percent).

        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.

        On September 27, 2002, the Company obtained an unsecured revolving credit facility with a current borrowing capacity of $600.0 million from a group of 14 lenders, as described in Note 8 to the Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $95.0 million under its unsecured revolving credit facility.

        The interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the unsecured facility is currently LIBOR plus 70 basis points. The Company may instead elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender's prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The unsecured facility also currently requires a 20 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears.

        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:

Operating Partnership's
Unsecured Debt Ratings:
S&P/Moody's/Fitch (a)

  Interest Rate —
Applicable Basis Points
Above LIBOR

  Facility Fee
Basis Points

No rating or less than BBB-/Baa3/BBB-   120.0   30.0
BBB-/Baa3/BBB-   95.0   20.0
BBB/Baa2/BBB (current)   70.0   20.0
BBB+/Baa1/BBB+   65.0   15.0
A-/A3/A- or higher   60.0   15.0

        The unsecured facility matures in September 2005, with an extension option of one year, which would require a payment of 25 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the credit line upon exercise. The Company believes that the unsecured facility is sufficient to meet its revolving credit facility needs.

        The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness,

48



the incurrence of liens and the disposition of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of debt service coverage, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property debt service coverage and certain investment limitations. 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 equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of 90 percent of funds from operations (as defined) for such period, subject to certain other adjustments.

        The terms of the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes, as defined in Note 7 to the Financial Statements (which totaled approximately $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2003), 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.

        As of June 30, 2003, the Company had 233 unencumbered properties, totaling 21.4 million square feet, representing 79.2 percent of the Company's total portfolio on a square footage basis.

        The debt of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures aggregating $156 million are non-recourse to the Company except for (i) customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations and (ii) approximately $11.1 million of debt on the Harborside South Pier joint venture with Hyatt Corporation ("Hyatt"). Additionally, the Company has posted an $8.0 million letter of credit in support of another loan to that joint venture, $4.0 million of which is indemnified by Hyatt, and a $1.8 million letter of credit as a reserve for re-leasing costs on a mortgage loan with the G&G Martco joint venture.

        As of June 30, 2003, the Company's total debt had a weighted average term to maturity of approximately 4.7 years. The Company has a total of $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes scheduled to mature through March 2004. The Company does not intend to reserve funds to retire the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes or its mortgages and loans payable 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 timely raise such proceeds, 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. The Company is reviewing various refinancing options, including the purchase of its senior unsecured notes in privately-negotiated transactions, the issuance of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt, preferred stock, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt, some or all of which may be completed during the remainder of 2003. 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,

49



if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, the Company's ability to make the expected distributions discussed below may be adversely affected.

        The Company has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in equity securities of the Company. The Company and Operating Partnership also have an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for an aggregate of $2.0 billion in debt securities, preferred stock and preferred stock represented by depositary shares, under which the Operating Partnership has issued an aggregate of $1.2 billion of senior unsecured notes and the Company has issued $25 million of preferred stock.

        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 July 31, 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.

        The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprising 140 properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.8 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; Earle I. Mack, director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, a former director; Martin S. Berger, a director; and Timothy M. Jones, president), or the Cali Group (which includes John J. Cali, a former director and John R. Cali, director) without the express written consent of a representative of the Mack Group, the Robert Martin Group or the Cali Group, 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 or Cali Group members 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 2008. 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 or Cali Group members.

        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 $146.4 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 after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock dividends, and scheduled debt service on the Company's debt.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        The Company's off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Note 4: "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures" to the Financial Statements. Additional information about the debt of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures is included in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" herein.

Funds from Operations

        The Company considers funds from operations ("FFO") a relevant measure of REIT financial performance which the financial community desires REITs to provide. FFO is defined as net income (loss) before minority interest of unitholders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable rental property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company's FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). Effective with this filing of the Company's second quarter 2003 Form 10-Q, in order to best report FFO in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's recent guidance in respect of Regulation G concerning non-GAAP financial measures and to disclose FFO on a comparable basis with the vast majority of other companies in the industry, the Company has revised its definition of FFO to adhere to NAREIT's definition of FFO by including the effect of income arising from the straight-lining of rents in the periods presented. Income from the straight-lining of rents (including the Company's share from unconsolidated joint ventures) amounted to $4,179 and $1,210 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $7,589 and $2,923 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Such amounts are included in the reported FFO below.

        FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, as calculated in accordance with NAREIT's definition as published in October 1999, are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

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

        The Company considers portions of this information to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, the Company's 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 the Company cannot predict with accuracy and some of which the Company might not even anticipate. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, it can give no assurance that its 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 the Company has made assumptions are changes in the general economic climate; conditions, including those affecting industries in which the Company's principal tenants compete; any failure of the general economy to recover from the current economic downturn; the extent of any tenant bankruptcies; the Company's 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; the Company's ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts; the availability of financing; 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. For further information on factors which could impact the Company and the statements contained herein, see the "Risk Factors" section contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company assumes no obligation to update and supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.

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 $1.6 billion of the Company's long-term debt 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 rate on the variable rate debt as of June 30, 2003 ranged from LIBOR plus 65 basis points to LIBOR plus 70 basis points.

Average Interest Rate     7.35 %   7.33 %   7.13 %   7.12 %   6.96 %   7.07 %   7.21 %    
Variable Rate               $ 95,000               $ 32,178   $ 127,178   $ 127,178

        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 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's 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.

MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION

Part II—Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        Pursuant to an agreement with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey, the Company is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes ("PILOT") on its Harborside Plaza 2 and 3 properties. The agreement, which commenced in 1990, is for a term of 15 years. Such PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs, as defined, in year one and increases by $75,000 per annum through year 15. Total Project Costs, as defined, are $145.6 million. The PILOT totaled $953 and $934 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively and totaled $1,906 and $1,869 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The PILOT on these two properties had been challenged in the Superior Court of the State of New Jersey, Appellate Division, as part of a larger effort by several neighboring towns to question past practices of the City of Jersey City in attracting large development. In May 2003, the Company, together with most of the other property owners whose abatements had been similarly challenged, entered into settlement agreements with the challenging towns, pursuant to which these challenges were being resolved. These settlement agreements are currently before the tax court hearing the challenges for ratification, and therefore have not yet finalized. The Company does not believe that the final outcome will result in a material adverse impact to the Company as there is the potential that the majority of the expense at the properties may be passed along to the properties' tenants. See Note 12 to Financial Statements.

        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.


Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

        Not Applicable.


Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

        Not Applicable.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

        On May 13, 2003, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders to elect four directors to the Board of Directors of the Company, among other things. At the Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders re-elected the following Class III directors to serve until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2006: Martin S. Berger (Number of shares for: 50,750,081, Number of shares against: 967,428), John R. Cali (Number of shares for: 50,754,939, Number of shares against: 962,570), Mitchell E. Hersh (Number of shares for: 50,744,709, Number of shares against: 972,800) and Irvin D. Reid (Number of shares for: 50,366,876, Number of shares against: 1,350,633). Effective immediately following the Annual Meeting, John J. Cali, a Class III director, resigned from the Company's Board of Directors, and the Company reduced the size of its Board of Directors to 12 members.

        At the Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders also voted upon and approved the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, as the Company's independent accountants for the ensuing year (Number of shares for: 50,773,718, Number of shares against: 891,638, Number of shares abstained: 52,153, Number of broker non-votes: 0). In addition, at the Annual Meeting the Company's stockholders voted upon and adopted an amendment to, and restatement of, the 2000 Director Stock Option Plan to provide for the issuance of restricted stock and other stock-based awards to members of the Board of Directors of the Company (Number of shares for: 47,502,085, Number of shares against: 3,940,488, Number of shares abstained: 274,936, Number of broker non-votes: 0).
