MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION
Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a fully-integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) providing leasing, management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its properties and third parties.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned or had interests in 275 properties plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”).  The Properties aggregate approximately 30.7 million square feet, which are comprised of 251 buildings, primarily office and office/flex buildings totaling approximately 30.2 million square feet (which include 21 buildings, primarily office buildings aggregating approximately 2.6 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, nine multi-family properties totaling 3,319 apartments (which include seven properties aggregating 2,597 apartments owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), five parking/retail properties totaling approximately 115,600 square feet (which include two buildings aggregating 81,500 square feet  owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), 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 seven states, primarily in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any.  See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.  The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

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


2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental
Property
Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized.  Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.  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.  Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $1.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3.7 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Included in total rental property is construction, tenant improvement and development in-progress of $44.9 million and $107.6 million (which included costs related to two properties placed in service during the nine months ended September 30, 2013) as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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, primarily based on a percentage of the relative square footage of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

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

Leasehold interests
Remaining lease term
Buildings and improvements
5 to 40 years
Tenant improvements
The shorter of the term of the
 
related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
5 to 10 years

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

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

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

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired.  In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment.  The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near-term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property.  A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.  The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions.  These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions.  The assumptions 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, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s consolidated real estate joint ventures in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary have total real estate assets of $210.6 million and $198.3 million, respectively, mortgages of $79.4 million and $77.1 million, respectively, and other liabilities of $16.6 million and $16.5 million, respectively.

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 estimated net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established.  Properties identified as held for sale and/or disposed of are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.  See Note 7: Discontinued Operations. 
 
 
 
10

 
 
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used.  A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. 
 
 
Investments in
Unconsolidated
Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.  The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.  The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee.    If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extend it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.

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, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment.  The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in commercial real estate joint ventures) 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 operating costs.  As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.  See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. 
 
  
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
 
Deferred
Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $954,000 and $673,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2,379,000 and $1,945,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  If a financing obligation is extinguished early, any unamortized deferred financing costs are written off and included in gains (loss) on early extinguishment of debt.  Such unamortized costs which were written off amounted to $156,000 and zero for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $156,000 and $370,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 $962,000 and $1,156,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3,168,000 and $3,312,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
 
 
11

 
 

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination.  Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter.  Additionally, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of goodwill may not be fully recoverable.
 
 
Derivative
Instruments
The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract.  For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.
 
 
Revenue
Recognition
Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.  Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.  Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases.  The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.  Escalations and recoveries from tenants are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements.  These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs.  See Note 14: Tenant Leases.  Construction services revenue includes fees earned and reimbursements received by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients.  Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method.  Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of our estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts.  A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract.  This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates.  Real estate services revenue includes property management, development and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients.  Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.  Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations. 
 
 
 
 
 
12

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

Pursuant to the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment.  The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in general and administrative expense.

In the normal course of business, the Company or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable.  As of September 30, 2013, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the year 2008 forward.
 
 
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.  Shares whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions shall be considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted EPS as follows (i) if all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period (the events have occurred), those shares shall be included as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the grant, if later) or (ii) if all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares included in diluted EPS shall be based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period (for example, the number of shares that would be issuable based on current period earnings or period-end market price) and if the result would be dilutive. Those contingently issuable shares shall be included in the denominator of diluted EPS as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the grant, if later).

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

Stock
 
Compensation
The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.  These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”), TSR-based Performance Shares and stock options (if any) at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period.  The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $755,000 and $579,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2,402,000 and $1,971,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other
 
Comprehensive
 
Income
Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are recorded in equity, such as unrealized holding gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale.  There was no difference in other comprehensive income to net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and no accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2013 and 2012.


3.    REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

Consolidation
On October 23, 2012, as part of the Roseland transaction, the Company had acquired a 26.25 percent interest in a to-be-built, 108-unit multi-family rental property located in Eastchester, New York (the “Eastchester Project”) for approximately $4.9 million.  The remaining interests in the development project-owning entity, 150 Main Street, L.L.C. (“Eastchester”) was owned 26.25 percent by JMP Eastchester, L.L.C. and 47.5 percent by Hudson Valley Land Holdings, L.L.C. (“HVLH”). The Eastchester Project is expected to start in the near term.  Estimated total development costs of $46 million are expected to be funded with a $27.5 million construction loan and the balance of $18.5 million to be funded with member capital.

On August 22, 2013, the operating agreement of Eastchester was modified which increased the Company’s effective ownership to 76.25 percent, with the remaining 23.75 percent owned by HVLH.  The agreement also provided the Company with control of all major decisions.  Accordingly, effective from this date, the Company is consolidating Eastchester under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation.  As the carrying value approximated the fair value of the net assets acquired, there was no holding period gain or loss recognized on this transaction.  The following table summarizes the net assets recorded upon consolidation (in thousands):

Property Sales
On August 27, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its 1.66 million square foot Pennsylvania office portfolio and three developable land parcels for approximately $233 million: $201 million in cash, a $10 million mortgage on one of the properties ($8 million of which was funded at closing) and subordinated equity interests in each of the properties being sold with capital accounts aggregating $22 million.  Net sale proceeds from the sale aggregated $207 million which was comprised of the $233 million gross sales price less the subordinated equity interests of $22 million and $4 million in closing costs.  As of September 30, 2013, approximately $55.3 million of the cash received from the sale was being held by a qualified intermediary pending reinvestment, which is a noncash item included in deferred charges, goodwill and other assets.  The purchasers of the Pennsylvania office portfolio are joint ventures formed between the Company and affiliates of the Keystone Property Group (the “Keystone Affiliates”).  The mortgage loan has a term of two years with a one year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus six percent.  The Company's equity interests in the joint ventures will be subordinated to Keystone Affiliates receiving a 15 percent internal rate of return (“IRR”) after which the Company will receive a ten percent IRR on its subordinated equity and then all profit will be split equally.  In connection with these partial sale transactions, because the buyer receives a preferential return, the Company only recognized profit to the extent that they received net proceeds in excess of their entire carrying value of the properties, effectively reflecting their retained subordinate equity interest at zero.

As part of the transaction, the Company has rights to own, after zoning-approval-subdivision, land at the 150 Monument Road property located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, for a contemplated multi-family residential development. 

The Company sold the following office properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (dollars in thousands):  See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

(a)  
The Company recognized a valuation allowance of $7.1 million on this property at December 31, 2012.  In connection with the sale, the Company provided an interest-free note receivable to the buyer of $5 million (with a net present value of $3.6 million at September 30, 2013) which matures in ten years and requires monthly payments of principal.  See Note 5: Deferred charges, goodwill and other assets.
(b)  
The Company recorded an $8.4 million impairment charge on these properties at December 31, 2012.  The Company has retained a subordinated interest in these properties.
(c)  
The property was encumbered by a mortgage loan which was satisfied by the Company at the time of the sale.  The Company incurred $0.7 million in costs for the debt satisfaction, which was included in discontinued operations:  loss from early extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
(d)  
In order to reduce the carrying value of five of the properties to their estimated fair market values, the Company recorded impairment charges of $23.9 million at June 30, 2013.   The fair value used in the impairment charges was based on the purchase and sale agreement for the properties ultimately sold.
(e)  
The portfolio sale also included three developable land parcels.

Impairments
Nine of the Company’s office properties located in Roseland, Parsippany, Warren and Lyndhurst, New Jersey, aggregating approximately 1.3 million square feet, are collateral for mortgage loans scheduled to mature on August 11, 2014 and May 11, 2016, with principal balances totaling $159.2 million as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company estimated that the carrying value of the properties may not be recoverable over their anticipated holding periods.  In order to reduce the carrying value of the properties to their estimated fair market values, the Company recorded impairment charges of $48.5 million at September 30, 2013, which resulted from the current decline in leasing activity and market rents of the properties identified.  The Company’s estimated fair values were derived utilizing a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model including all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period.  These cash flows were comprised of inputs which included contractual revenues and forecasted revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth.  The capitalization rate of 8.5 percent and discount rates ranging from 10 percent to 15 percent utilized in DCF were based upon the risk profile of the properties’ cash flows and observable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for each respective property.  Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation of these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

4.    INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $131.9 million in its equity method joint ventures.  The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties, or acquired interests in them, to develop or manage primarily office and multi-family rental properties, or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office and multi-family rental properties.  As of September 30, 2013, the unconsolidated joint ventures owned: 20 office and two retail properties aggregating approximately 2.3 million square feet, seven multi-family properties totaling 2,597 apartments, a 350-room hotel, a senior mezzanine loan position in the capital stack of a 1.7 million square foot commercial property; development projects for up to approximately 2,631 apartments; and interests and/or rights to developable land parcels able to accommodate up to 3,708 apartments, and 1.2 million square feet of office space.  The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 7.5 percent to 80 percent subject to specified priority allocations in certain of the joint ventures.

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity in earnings) are based on the historical financial information of the individual joint ventures.  The Company does not record losses of the joint ventures in excess of its investment balances unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the joint venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the joint venture.  The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Unless otherwise noted below, the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentations.  The Company had $856,000 and $370,000 in accounts receivable due from its unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Included in the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2013 are five unconsolidated development joint ventures, which are VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These joint ventures are primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional financial support.  The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period.  The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs based on the fact that the Company has shared control of these entities along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have controlling financial interests in these VIEs.  The Company’s aggregate investment in these VIEs was approximately $10.7 million as of September 30, 2013.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is estimated to be approximately $13.7 million, which includes the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments of approximately $3.1 million.  The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide. In general, future costs of development not financed through third party will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and its outside partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

11.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS AND DEFERRED RETIREMENT
 
 COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS

Employees of the Company, who meet certain minimum age and service requirements, are eligible to participate in the Mack-Cali Realty Corporation 401(k) Savings/Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”).  Eligible employees may elect to defer from one percent up to 60 percent of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis to the 401(k) Plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law.  The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable.  The Company may make discretionary matching or profit sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible participants in any plan year.  Participants are always 100 percent vested in their pre-tax contributions and will begin vesting in any matching or profit sharing contributions made on their behalf after two years of service with the Company at a rate of 20 percent per year, becoming 100 percent vested after a total of six years of service with the Company.  All contributions are allocated as a percentage of compensation of the eligible participants for the Plan year.  The assets of the 401(k) Plan are held in trust and a separate account is established for each participant.  A participant may receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance in the 401(k) Plan in a single sum or in installment payments upon his or her termination of service with the Company.  The 401(k) Plan was recently amended to provide for employees of the Roseland business to receive matching contributions.  Total expense recognized by the Company for the 401(k) Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $24,000 and zero, respectively, and $91,000 and zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On September 12, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved multi-year deferred retirement compensation agreements for those executive officers in place on such date (the “Deferred Retirement Compensation Agreements”).  Pursuant to the Deferred Retirement Compensation Agreements, the Company will make annual contributions of stock units (“Stock Units”) representing shares of the Company’s common stock on January 1 of each year from 2013 through 2017 into a deferred compensation account maintained on behalf of each Messrs. Hersh, Lefkowitz and Thomas.  The annual contribution for Messrs. Hersh, Lefkowitz and Thomas shall be in an amount of Stock Units equal to $500,000, $160,000 and $100,000, respectively.  The Company granted 25,333 Stock Units in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Vesting of each annual contribution of Stock Units will occur on December 31 of each year, subject to continued employment. Upon the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock, Messrs. Hersh, Lefkowitz and Thomas shall be entitled to dividend equivalent payments in respect of both vested and unvested Stock Units payable in the form of additional Stock Units.  The Stock Units shall become payable within 30 days after the earliest of any of the following triggering events: (a) the executive’s death or disability; (b) the date of the executive’s separation from service to the Company; and (c) the effective date of a change in control, in each case as such terms are defined in the employment agreements of Messrs. Hersh, Lefkowitz and Thomas.  Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the Stock Units shall be paid in cash based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of such triggering event. 


12.   DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, consisting of senior unsecured notes, an unsecured revolving credit facility and mortgages, loans payable and other obligations aggregated approximately $2.5 billion and $2.4 billion as compared to the book value of approximately $2.4 billion and $2.2 billion as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is categorized as a level 3 basis (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.  The fair value of the mortgage debt and the unsecured notes was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.
 
 
 
39

 

 
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since September 30, 2013 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.


13.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS
Pursuant to agreements with certain municipalities, the Company is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes (“PILOT”) on certain of its properties located in Jersey City and has a tax abatement agreement with Weehawken, New Jersey, as follows:

The Harborside Plaza 4-A agreement with the City of Jersey City, as amended, which commenced in 2002, is for a term of 20 years.  The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs, as defined.  Total Project Costs are $49.5 million.  The PILOT totaled $247,000 and $247,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $742,000 and $742,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Harborside Plaza 5 agreement, also with the City of Jersey City, as amended, which commenced in 2002, is for a term of 20 years.  The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs, as defined.  Total Project Costs are $170.9 million.  The PILOT totaled $854,000 and $854,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2.6 million and $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company also has an agreement with the City of Weehawken for its Port Imperial 4/5 garage development project (acquired in the Roseland Transaction).  The agreement was executed in March 2011 and has a term of five years beginning when the first certificate of occupancy is issued for any portion of the project, which was issued in the third quarter 2013.  The agreement provides that real estate taxes be paid initially on the land value of the project only and allows for a phase in of real estate taxes on the value of the improvements over a five year period.

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

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

Ground lease expense incurred by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $102,000 and $102,000, respectively, and $305,000 and $305,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

ROSELAND CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
On October 23, 2012, the Company acquired the real estate development and management businesses (the “Roseland Business”) of Roseland Partners, L.L.C. (“Roseland Partners”), a premier multi-family rental community developer and manager based in Short Hills, New Jersey, and the Roseland Partners’ interests (the “Roseland Transaction”), principally through unconsolidated joint venture interests in various entities which, directly or indirectly, own or have rights with respect to various residential and/or commercial properties or vacant land (collectively, the “Roseland Assets”).

The purchase price for the Roseland Transaction included the fair value of contingent consideration pursuant to an earn-out (“Earn Out”) agreement of approximately $10 million.  The Earn Out largely represents contingent consideration and requires the Company to pay Roseland Partners an aggregate maximum of $15.6 million.  The Earn Out is based on defined criteria, as follows: (i) the Roseland Assets component of up to $8.6 million for the completion of certain developments ($2.8 million), and the start of construction on others ($2.8 million), obtaining tax credits/grants on others ($3.0 million), all of which are payable over various periods of up to three years; and (ii) total return to shareholders for up to an additional $7 million, based on a total return to shareholders measured on a three year cumulative basis and on discrete years, both on an absolute basis and in comparison to a peer group.  Each of the Earn Out elements were separately valued as of the acquisition date with an aggregate fair value of contingent consideration of approximately $10 million (representing $6.3 million for the Roseland Assets and $3.7 million for the total return to shareholders component).  During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a benefit of $1 million related to a decline in fair value in the Earn Out liability, which is included in Interest and other investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Prospectively, the Earn Out liability will be remeasured at fair value quarterly until the contingency has been resolved, with any changes in fair value representing a charge or benefit directly to earnings (with no adjustment to purchase accounting).  As a result of the achievement of certain of the defined criteria, the Company paid Roseland Partners $2.8 million of the Earn Out on January 25, 2013.

The purchase consideration for the Roseland Transaction is subject to the return of a portion of the purchase price of up to $2.0 million upon the failure to achieve a certain level of fee revenue from the Roseland Business during the 33-month period following the closing date.  Because the fee target was highly probable, no discount was ascribed to this contingently returnable consideration.  Also, at the closing, approximately $34 million in cash of the purchase price was deposited in escrow to secure certain of the indemnification obligations of Roseland Partners and its affiliates.  In April 2013, $6.7 million of the escrow was released to the Roseland Partners.

OTHER
The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprised of seven properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $124.8 million, which were originally contributed by certain unrelated common unitholders, without the express written consent of such common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate specific common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”).  The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property.  The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2016.  Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is generally 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 specific common unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, a former director; and Timothy M. Jones, former president), the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, a former director, and John J. Cali, a former director).  121 of the Company’s properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.6 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.

In December 2011, the Company entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ironstate Development LLC (“Ironstate”) for the development of residential towers with associated parking and ancillary retail space on land owned by the Company at its Harborside complex in Jersey City, New Jersey (the “Harborside Residential Project”).  The first phase of the project is expected to consist of a parking pedestal to support a high-rise tower of approximately 763 apartment units and is estimated to cost approximately $291 million, of which development costs of $9.0 million have been incurred through September 30, 2013.  The parties anticipate the first phase will be ready for occupancy by approximately the first quarter of 2016.  In October 2013, the first phase of the project was awarded $33 million in tax credits from New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA).

Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company and Ironstate shall co-develop the Harborside Residential Project with Ironstate responsible for obtaining all required development permits and approvals.  Major decisions with respect to the Harborside Residential Project will require the consent of the Company and Ironstate.  The Company and Ironstate will have 85 and 15 percent interests, respectively, in the Harborside Residential Project.  The Company will receive capital credit of $30 per approved developable square foot for its land, aggregating to approximately $20.3 million at September 30, 2013.  In addition to the capital credit it will receive for its land contribution, the Company currently expects that it will fund approximately $77 million of the development costs of the project.

The Development Agreement is subject to obtaining required approvals and development financing as well as numerous customary undertakings, covenants, obligations and conditions.  The Company has the right to reasonably determine that any phase of the Harborside Residential Project is not economically viable and may elect not to proceed, subject to certain conditions, with no further obligations to Ironstate other than reimbursement to Ironstate of all or a portion of the costs incurred by it to obtain any required approvals.

In July 2012, the Company entered into a ground lease with Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. (“Wegmans”) at its undeveloped site located at Sylvan Way and Ridgedale Avenue in Hanover Township, New Jersey. Subject to receiving all necessary governmental approvals, Wegmans intends to construct a store of approximately 140,000 square feet on a finished pad to be delivered by the Company in the second quarter of 2014.  The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $15.7 million for the development of the site through the first quarter of 2015 (of which the Company has incurred $3.5 million through September 30, 2013).


14.   TENANT LEASES

The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2033.  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.

15.   MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION 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 Charter provides, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership.  Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the Company must maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demands written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In September 2012, the Board of Directors renewed and authorized an increase to the Company’s repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”).  The Company has authorization to repurchase up to $150 million of its outstanding common stock under the renewed Repurchase Program, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.  The Company has purchased and retired 394,625 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $11 million through September 30, 2013 (none of which has occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2013), with a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139 million.
 
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance.  The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the Company’s shares of common stock.  The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

In May 2013, the Company established the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”) under which a total of 4,600,000 shares have been reserved for issuance.  In May 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”) under which a total of 2,500,000 shares had been reserved for issuance.  The 2004 Plan was terminated upon establishment of the 2013 Plan.  No options have been granted through September 30, 2013 under the 2013 Plan or the 2004 Plan.  In September 2000, the Company established the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (“2000 Employee Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2000 Director Stock Option Plan (“2000 Director Plan,” and together with the 2000 Employee Plan, the “2000 Plans”).  In May 2002, shareholders of the Company approved amendments to both of the 2000 Plans to increase the total shares reserved for issuance under both of the 2000 Plans from 2,700,000 to 4,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 shares under the 2000 Employee Plan and from 200,000 to 350,000 shares under the 2000 Director Plan).  As the 2000 Plans expired in 2010, stock options may no longer be issued under those plans.  Stock options granted under the 2000 Employee Plan became exercisable over a five-year period. All stock options granted under the 2000 Director Plan became 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the stock options outstanding, which were all exercisable, had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately one and 0.1 years, respectively.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
The Company has issued stock awards (“Restricted Stock Awards”) to officers, certain other employees, and nonemployee members of the Board of Directors of the Company, which allow the holders to each receive a certain amount of shares of the Company’s common stock generally over a one to seven-year vesting period, of which 351,592 unvested shares were outstanding at September 30, 2013.  Of the outstanding Restricted Stock Awards issued to executive officers and senior management, 319,667 are contingent upon the Company meeting certain performance goals to be set by the Executive Compensation and Option Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company each year, with the remaining based on time and service.  All currently outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers and certain other employees were issued under the 2004 Plan.  Currently outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to directors were issued under the 2004 Plan.

On September 12, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the recommendations and ratified the determinations of the Executive Compensation and Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) with respect to new Restricted Stock Awards totaling 319,667 shares for those executive officers in place on such date.  The new Restricted Stock Awards may vest commencing January 1, 2014 and with the number of Restricted Stock Awards scheduled to be vested and earned on each vesting date on an annual basis over a five to seven year vesting schedule, with each annual vesting of each tranche of Restricted Stock Awards being subject to the attainment of annual performance goals to be set by the Committee for each year.

TSR-BASED AWARDS
Also on September 12, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the recommendations and ratified the determinations of the Committee with respect to new multi-year total stockholder return (“TSR”) based awards (the “TSR-Based Awards”) totaling 5,160 performance shares (the “Performance Shares”) for those executive officers in place on such date, each Performance Share evidencing the right to receive $1,000 in the Company’s common stock upon vesting.  In accordance with the amended and restated TSR-Based Awards agreements entered into between the Company and those executive officers in June 2013, the Performance Shares may vest commencing December 31, 2014, with the number of Performance Shares scheduled to be granted annually over the next four years.  The vesting of each tranche of Performance Shares is subject to the attainment at each performance period end of a minimum stock price and either an absolute TSR target or a relative TSR target (the “TSR Performance Targets”) in comparison to a selection of Peer Group REITs, in each case as shall be fixed by the Committee for each performance period.  TSR, for purposes of the TSR-Based Performance Agreements, shall be equal to the share appreciation in the relevant period.  The Company granted 1,032 Performance Shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which were valued in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, at their fair value, utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the vesting conditions being satisfied.  The Company has reserved shares of common stock under the 2004 Plan for issuance upon vesting of the Performance Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the TSR-Based Awards.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.4 years.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS
The Amended and Restated 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 16,332 and 13,057 deferred stock units were earned, respectively.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were 130,481 and 115,331 director stock units outstanding, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

16.   NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN SUBSIDIARIES

Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to (i) common units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the Company, and (ii) interests in consolidated joint ventures for the portion of such ventures not owned by the Company.

OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

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 unitholders have the right to redeem their common units, subject to certain restrictions.  The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows:  one share of the Company’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each common unit.  The Company, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of common units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock, cash, or any combination thereof).  If the Company elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock as opposed to cash, it is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder.  Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the Company or the Operating Partnership under any circumstances.  When a unitholder redeems a common unit, noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced and Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ equity is increased.

Unit Transactions
The following table sets forth the changes in noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries which relate to the common units in the Operating Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
   
 
Common
 
Units
Balance at January 1, 2013
12,141,836
Redemption of common units for shares of common stock
(154,661)
   
Balance at September 30, 2013
 11,987,175

Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation, on the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary, changes in a parent’s ownership interest (and transactions with noncontrolling interest unitholders in the subsidiary) while the parent retains its controlling interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for as equity transactions.  The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary, with the offset to equity attributable to the parent.  Accordingly, as a result of equity transactions which caused changes in ownership percentages between Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company has decreased noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and increased additional paid-in capital in Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity by approximately $0.5 million as of September 30, 2013.

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST OWNERSHIP
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the noncontrolling interest common unitholders owned 12.0 percent and 12.2 percent of the Operating Partnership, respectively.

CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
The Company consolidates certain joint ventures in which it has ownership interests.  Various entities and/or individuals hold noncontrolling interests in these ventures.
 
 
 
48

 
 

 
PARTICIPATION RIGHTS
The Company’s interests in certain real estate projects (three properties and a future development) each provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter, other parties, have participation rights (“Participation Rights”) in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Company’s capital contributions, plus (b) an internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 10 percent per annum.


17.   SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates in three business segments: (i) commercial and other real estate, (ii) multifamily real estate, and (iii) multifamily services.  The Company provides leasing, property management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its commercial and other real estate and multifamily real estate portfolio. The Company’s multifamily services business also provides similar services for third parties.  The Company no longer considers construction services as a reportable segment as it has significantly reduced its operations.  The Company had no revenues from foreign countries recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  The Company had no long lived assets in foreign locations as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies, excluding depreciation and amortization.

The Company evaluates performance based upon net operating income from the combined properties in its real estate segments (commercial and other, and multifamily) and net operating income from its multifamily services segment.

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

GENERAL

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


Executive Overview

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation together with its subsidiaries, (the “Company”) is one of the largest real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the United States.  The Company has been involved in all aspects of commercial real estate development, management and ownership for over 60 years and has been a publicly-traded REIT since 1994.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company owns or has interests in 275 properties (collectively, the “Properties”), primarily class A office and office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 30.7 million square feet, leased to approximately 1,800 tenants and nine multi-family rental properties containing over 3,300 residential units.  The Properties are located primarily in suburban markets of the Northeast, some with adjacent, Company-controlled developable land sites able to accommodate up to 8.4 million square feet of additional commercial space and up to 5,824 apartment units. 

The Company’s historical strategy has been to focus its operations, acquisition and development of office properties in high-barrier-to-entry markets and sub-markets where it believes it is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator.  The Company intends to aggressively pursue multi-family residential investments in its core Northeast markets, both through acquisitions and developments, with the goal of materially expanding its holdings in the multi-family sector. This strategy may include, over time, the repositioning of a portion of its portfolio from office properties to multi-family properties.
 
As an owner of real estate, almost all of the Company’s earnings and cash flow is derived from rental revenue received pursuant to leased space at the Properties.  Key factors that affect the Company’s business and financial results include the following: 

   
· 
the general economic climate;
· 
the occupancy rates of the Properties;
· 
rental rates on new or renewed leases;
· 
tenant improvement and leasing costs incurred to obtain and retain tenants;
· 
the extent of early lease terminations;
· 
operating expenses;
· 
cost of capital; and
· 
the extent of acquisitions, development and sales of real estate.
 
Any negative effects of the above key factors could potentially cause a deterioration in the Company’s revenue and/or earnings.  Such negative effects could include: (1) failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire; (2) failure to renew or execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases; and (3) tenant defaults. 
 
A failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire or to execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases may be affected by several factors such as: (1) the local economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors; and (2) local real estate conditions, such as oversupply of the Company’s product types or competition within the market. 
 
The Company’s core office markets continue to be weak.  The percentage leased in the Company’s consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating commercial properties was 86.1 percent at September 30, 2013 as compared to 86.2 percent at June 30, 2013 and 87.5 percent at September 30, 2012.  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.  Leases that expired as of September 30, 2013, June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 aggregate 62,054, 306,496 and 113,335 square feet, respectively, or 0.2, 1.0 and 0.4 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively.  Rental rates (including escalations) on the Company’s space that was renewed (based on first rents payable) during the three months ended September 30, 2013 (on 643,490 square feet of renewals) decreased an average of 11.3 percent compared to rates that were in effect under the prior leases, as compared to a 5.9 percent increase during the three months ended September 30, 2012 (on 463,883 square feet of renewals).  Estimated lease costs for the renewed leases during the three months ended September 30, 2013 averaged $2.01 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 3.6 years and estimated lease costs for the renewed leases during the three months ended September 30, 2012 averaged $1.24 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 3.9 years.  The Company believes that commercial vacancy rates may continue to increase and rental rates may continue to decline in some of its markets through 2013 and possibly beyond.  As of September 30, 2013, commercial leases which comprise approximately 11.3 percent of the Company’s annualized base rent are scheduled to expire during the year ended December 31, 2014.  With the decline of rental rates in the Company’s markets over the past few years, as leases expire in 2014, assuming no further changes in current market rental rates, the Company expects that the rental rates at its commercial properties it is likely to achieve on new leases will generally be lower than the rates currently being paid, thereby resulting in less revenue from the same space.  As a result of the above factors, the Company’s future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions. 
 
 
 
52

 

 
The Company expects that the impact of the current state of the economy, including high unemployment will continue to have a negative effect on the fundamentals of its business, including lower occupancy, reduced effective rents, and increases in defaults and past due accounts.  These conditions would negatively affect the Company’s future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.   

As a result of the continued weakness in the Company's core office markets, the Company intends to continue to expand its holdings in the multi-family rental sector, which it believes has traditionally been a more stable product type.

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

· 
recent transactions;
· 
critical accounting policies and estimates;
· 
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and
· 
liquidity and capital resources. 


 Recent Transactions

Acquisitions
On January 18, 2013, the Company acquired Alterra at Overlook Ridge 1A, a 310-unit multi-family rental property located in Revere, Massachusetts, for approximately $61.3 million in cash, which was funded primarily through borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

On April 4, 2013, the Company acquired Alterra at Overlook Ridge IB, a 412-unit multi-family rental property located in Revere, Massachusetts, for approximately $88 million in cash, which was funded primarily through borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

Consolidation
On October 23, 2012, as part of the Roseland transaction, the Company had acquired a 26.25 percent interest in a to-be-built, 108-unit multi-family rental property located in Eastchester, New York (the “Eastchester Project”) for approximately $4.9 million.  The remaining interests in the development project-owning entity, 150 Main Street, L.L.C. (“Eastchester”) was owned 26.25 percent by JMP Eastchester, L.L.C. and 47.5 percent by Hudson Valley Land Holdings, L.L.C. (“HVLH”). The Eastchester Project is expected to start in the near term.  Estimated total development costs of $46 million are expected to be funded with a $27.5 million construction loan and the balance of $18.5 million to be funded with member capital.
 
 
 
53

 
 

 
On August 22, 2013, the operating agreement of Eastchester was modified which increased the Company’s effective ownership to 76.25 percent, with the remaining 23.75 percent owned by HVLH.  The agreement also provided the Company with control of all major decisions.  Accordingly, effective from this date, the Company is consolidating Eastchester under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation.  As the carrying value approximated the fair value of the net assets acquired, there was no holding period gain or loss recognized on this transaction.

Property Sales
On August 27, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its 1.66 million square foot Pennsylvania office portfolio and three developable land parcels for approximately $233 million: $201 million in cash, a $10 million mortgage on one of the properties ($8 million of which was funded at closing) and subordinated equity interests in each of the properties being sold with capital accounts aggregating $22 million.  Net sale proceeds from the sale aggregated $207 million which was comprised of the $233 million gross sales price less the subordinated equity interests of $22 million and $4 million in closing costs.  As of September 30, 2013, approximately $55.3 million of the cash received from the sale was being held by a qualified intermediary pending reinvestment, which is a noncash item included in deferred charges, goodwill and other assets.  The purchasers of the Pennsylvania office portfolio are joint ventures formed between the Company and affiliates of the Keystone Property Group (the “Keystone Affiliates”).  The mortgage loan has a term of two years with a one year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus six percent.  The Company's equity interests in the joint ventures will be subordinated to Keystone Affiliates receiving a 15 percent internal rate of return (“IRR”) after which the Company will receive a ten percent IRR on its subordinated equity and then all profit will be split equally.  In connection with these partial sale transactions, because the buyer receives a preferential return, the Company only recognized profit to the extent that they received net proceeds in excess of their entire carrying value of the properties, effectively reflecting their retained subordinate equity interest at zero.

As part of the transaction, the Company has rights to own, after zoning-approval-subdivision, land at the 150 Monument Road property located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, for a contemplated multi-family residential development.

(a)  
The Company recognized a valuation allowance of $7.1 million on this property at December 31, 2012.  In connection with the sale, the Company provided an interest-free note receivable to the buyer of $5 million (with a net present value of $3.6 million at September 30, 2013) which matures in ten years and requires monthly payments of principal.  See Note 5: Deferred charges, goodwill and other assets.
(b)  
The Company recorded an $8.4 million impairment charge on these properties at December 31, 2012.  The Company has retained a subordinated interest in these properties.
(c)  
The property was encumbered by a mortgage loan which was satisfied by the Company at the time of the sale.  The Company incurred $0.7 million in costs for the debt satisfaction, which was included in discontinued operations:  loss from early extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
(d)  
In order to reduce the carrying value of five of the properties to their estimated fair market values, the Company recorded impairment charges of $23.9 million at June 30, 2013.   The fair value used in the impairment charges was based on the purchase and sale agreement for the properties ultimately sold.
(e)  
The portfolio sale also included three developable land parcels.
 
Impairments
The Company’s nine office properties located in Roseland, New Jersey, Parsippany, New Jersey, Warren, New Jersey, and Lyndhurst, New Jersey, aggregating approximately 1.3 million square feet, are collateral for mortgage loans scheduled to mature on August 11, 2014 and May 11, 2016, with principal balances totaling $159.2 million as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company estimated that the carrying value of the properties may not be recoverable over their anticipated holding periods. In order to reduce the carrying value of the properties to their estimated fair market values, the Company recorded impairment charges of $48.5 million at September 30, 2013, which resulted from the current decline in leasing activity and market rents of the properties identified.  The Company’s estimated fair values were derived utilizing a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model including all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period.  These cash flows were comprised of inputs which included contractual revenues and forecasted revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth.  The capitalization rate of 8.5 percent and discount rates ranging from 10 percent to 15 percent utilized in DCF were based upon the risk profile of the properties’ cash flows and observable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for each respective property.  Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation of these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

Joint Ventures
On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with a fund advised by UBS Global Asset Management (“UBS”) to form Crystal House Apartments Investors LLC which acquired the 828-unit multi-family property known as Crystal House located in Arlington, Virginia (“Crystal House Property”) for approximately $262.5 million.  The acquisition included vacant land to accommodate the development of approximately 295 additional units of which 252 are currently approved. The Company holds a 25 percent interest in the Crystal House property and a 50 percent interest in the vacant land.

On April 23, 2013, the Company and JPM sold their interests in the Boston Downtown Crossing joint venture for $45 million, of which the Company’s share was $13.5 million.  The Company realized its share of the gain on the sale of $754,000 which is included in equity in earnings.

On June 18, 2013, 12 Vreeland Associates, L.L.C. obtained a mortgage loan which is collateralized by its office property.  The amortizable loan with a balance of $15.8 million as of September 30, 2013 bears interest at 2.87 percent and matures on July 2023.  The venture subsequently distributed $14.8 million of the loan proceeds, of which the Company’s share was $7.4 million.
 
 
 
55

 
 
On August 14, 2013, Epsteins refinanced the mortgage loan of $48.5 million with loan proceeds and Prudential Capital.  The new loan, collateralized by the Metropolitan Property, with a balance of $38.6 million bearing interest at 3.25 percent matures in September 2020 and is interest-only through September 2015.  The new loan, collateralized by the Shops at 40 Park Property, with a balance of $6.5 million bearing interest at 3.63 percent matures in August 2018 and is interest-only through July 2015.  The loan provides for additional proceeds of $1 million based on certain operating thresholds being achieved.

On August 29, 2013, Port Imperial 15 refinanced the mortgage loan of $57 million.  The new loan has a balance of $57.5 million as of September 30, 2013, bears interest at 4.32 percent and matures in September 2020.  The interest-only loan is collateralized by the RiversEdge Property.

On October 1, 2013, PruRose/Marbella II closed on a construction loan in an amount not to exceed $77.4 million.  The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points and matures April 1, 2017 and provides subject to certain conditions, two one year extension options with a fee of 25 basis points for each year.  The Company has guaranteed lien-free completion of the project to the lender and Prudential-Marbella II.  Additionally, the Company has guaranteed payments of all interest, operating deficits and deferred equity due under the loan.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any.  See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

ASC 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.  The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

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

Rental Property:
Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized.  Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.  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.  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.
 
 
 
56

 

 
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, primarily based on a percentage of the relative square footage of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

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

   
Leasehold interests
Remaining lease term
Buildings and improvements
5 to 40 years
Tenant improvements
The shorter of the term of the
 
related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
5 to 10 years

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

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

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

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired.  In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment.  The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near-term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property.  A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.  The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions.  These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions.  The assumptions 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, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

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 estimated net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established.  Properties identified as held for sale and/or disposed of are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

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

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.  The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.  The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee.    If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extend it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.

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, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment.  The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in commercial real estate joint ventures) 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 operating costs.  As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.  See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

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

Construction services revenue includes fees earned and reimbursements received by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients.  Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method.  Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of our estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts.  A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract.  This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates.  Real estate services revenue includes property management, development and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients.  Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.  Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

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

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties decreased $1.9 million, or 1.5 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to a decrease in occupancy and a decline in market rents on new and renewed leases in 2013 as compared to 2012.  Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties decreased $2.8 million, or 14.0 percent, for 2013 over 2012, due primarily to lower recoveries from tenants in 2013.  Parking income for the same-store properties was relatively unchanged in 2013 as compared to 2012.  Other income for the Same-Store Properties was also relatively unchanged in 2013 as compared to 2012.

Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties decreased $0.4 million, or 2.0 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012. The change in real estate taxes principally results from tax appeal proceeds, net of associated professional fees, increased by approximately $0.3 million, from 2012 to 2013.  Real estate taxes, without the effect of net tax appeal proceeds, did not change significantly in 2013 as compared to 2012.  Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.0 million, or 6.3 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to increased rates.  Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.0 million, or 4.0 percent, due primarily to an increase in maintenance and operations costs of $0.8 million in 2013 as compared to 2012.

Construction services revenue decreased $0.5 million, or 42.0 percent, in 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to decreased construction contracts in 2013.  Real estate services revenues (primarily reimbursement of property personnel costs) increased by $5.8 million, or 461.6 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to the effects of Roseland (which was not acquired until fourth quarter 2012) in 2013.

Direct construction costs decreased $0.4 million, or 37.8 percent, in 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to decreased construction contracts in 2013.

Real estate services expenses increased $5.0 million, or 935.8 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012.  This increase was due primarily to compensation and related costs related to Roseland.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 3.4 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012.  This decrease was due primarily to professional fees incurred of $3.8 million in 2012 in conjunction with the Roseland transaction, partially offset by Roseland general and administrative expenses of $3.1 million in 2013 and increases in professional fees of $0.4 million for 2013 as compared to 2012.
 
 
 
61

 
 

 
Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.6 million, or 6.0 percent, for 2013 over 2012.  This increase was due primarily to $3.7 million of depreciation and amortization on assets related to Roseland and the Acquired Properties, partially offset by assets becoming fully amortized in 2013.

The Company recorded $48.7 million in impairment charges in 2013, primarily on nine properties to reduce their carrying values to their estimated fair market values.

Interest expense increased $0.5 million or 1.7 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012.  This increase was primarily as a result of higher interest cost of $3.0 million on higher average debt balances in 2013 as compared to 2012, partially offset by increased capitalized interest of $2.5 million and lower average rates in 2013 compared to 2012.

Interest and other investment income increased $0.2 million for 2013 as compared to 2012.  This was primarily due to income received on Notes Receivable originated in 2013.
 
 
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $2.6 million, or 109.5 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012.  The decrease was primarily due to a loss of $1.7 million in 2013 from the joint venture interest acquired in the Roseland Transaction in late 2012, and a loss of $1.1 million in 2013 from the Crystal House Apartments venture, which was entered into in March 2013.

Income from continuing operations decreased to a loss of approximately $46.1 million in 2013 from income of $9.8 million in 2012.  The decrease of $55.9 million was due to the factors discussed above.

Net income available to common shareholders decreased by $9.6 million, or 67.5 percent, from $14.3 million in 2012 to approximately $4.7 million in 2013.  The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in income from continuing operations of $55.9 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, an increase in noncontrolling interest in discontinued operations of approximately $5.1 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, and a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $4.2 million for 2013 as compared to 2012.  These were partially offset by realized gains and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property of $47.3 million in 2013, an increased in noncontrolling interest in operating partnership of $6.5 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, and an increase in noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint ventures of $1.8 million for 2013 as compared to 2012.

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties decreased $7.1 million, or 1.8 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to a decrease in occupancy in 2013 as compared to 2012.  Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties decreased $3.0 million, or 5.2 percent, for 2013 over 2012, due primarily to lower recoveries from tenants in 2013 as well as reimbursing tenants for their share of tax appeal proceeds received in the periods.  Parking income for the same-store properties decreased $0.3, or 7.3 percent, due primarily to decreased usage in 2013 as compared to 2012.  Other income for the Same-Store Properties decreased $7.6 million, or 72.8 percent, due primarily to a decrease in lease breakage fees recognized in 2013 as compared to 2012.

Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties decreased $3.6 million, or 5.6 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012. The change in real estate taxes principally results from tax appeal proceeds, net of associated professional fees, increasing by approximately $3.4 million, from 2012 to 2013.  Real estate taxes, without the effect of net tax appeal proceeds, did not change significantly in 2013 as compared to 2012.  Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $2.7 million or 6.2 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to increased rates.  Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $3.4 million, or 4.7 percent, due primarily to an increase in snow removal costs of $2.9 million, for 2013 as compared to 2012 and an increase in maintenance costs of $0.7 million for 2013 as compared to 2012.

Construction services revenue increased $6.4 million, or 69.5 percent, in 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to increased construction contracts in 2013.  Real estate services revenues (primarily reimbursement of property personnel costs) increased by $16.6 million, or 470.8 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to the effects of Roseland in 2013.

Direct construction costs increased $6.4 million, or 73.9 percent, in 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to increased construction contracts in 2013.

Real estate services expenses increased $14.3 million, or 925.2 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012.  This increase was due primarily to compensation costs related to Roseland (which was not acquired until fourth quarter 2012).
 
 
 
64

 

 
General and administrative expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 5.9 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012. This increase was due primarily to Roseland general and administrative expenses of $8.7 million in 2013 and increases in office expenses of $0.6 million and in human resources expenses of $0.4 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, partially offset by professional fees incurred of $6.3 million in 2012 in conjunction with the Roseland transaction, as compared to 2013 and $1.4 million in costs related to the departure of one of the Company’s executive vice presidents in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.4 million, or 3.4 percent, for 2013 over 2012.  This increase was due primarily to $7.2 million incurred in 2013 relating to depreciation and amortization on assets related to Roseland and the Acquired Properties, partially offset by assets becoming fully amortized in 2013.

The Company recorded $48.7 million in impairment charges in 2013, primarily on nine properties to reduce their carrying values to their estimated fair market values.

Interest expense decreased $0.5 million or 0.5 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012. This decrease was primarily a result of increased capitalized interest of $8.7 million, and lower average rates, in 2013 compared to 2012, offset by higher interest cost of $8.2 million on higher average debt balances in 2013 as compared to 2012.

Interest and other investment income increased $1.3 million for 2013 as compared to 2012.  This was primarily due to a benefit of $1.0 million in 2013 related to a change in fair value in the Roseland Transaction Earn-Out.
 
 
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $6.8 million, or 143.3 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012.  The decrease was primarily due to a loss of $5.3 million the joint venture interests acquired in the Roseland Transaction in late 2012 and a loss of $2.7 million in 2013 from the Crystal House Apartments venture, which was entered into in March 2013.  These were partially offset by increased income of $1.0 million from the Boston Downtown Crossing venture in which the Company sold its interest in April 2013.

Income from continuing operations decreased to a loss of $29.5 million in 2013 from income of $37.0 million in 2012.  The decrease of $66.5 million was due to the factors discussed above.

Net income available to common shareholders decreased by $10.9 million, or 21.7 percent, from approximately $50.2 million in 2012 to $39.3 million in 2013.  The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in income from continuing operations of $66.5 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, an impairment charge of approximately $23.8 million on discontinued operations in 2013, an increase in noncontrolling interests in discontinued operation of $6.3 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $5.6 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, realized gains on disposition of rental property of $2.4 million in 2012, and a loss on early extinguishment of debt on discontinued operations of $0.7 million in 2013.  These were partially offset by a realized gain on disposition of rental property of $84.9 million in 2013, an increase in noncontrolling interest in Operating Partnership of $7.8 million for 2013 compared to 2012, and an increase in noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures of $1.7 million for 2013 as compared to 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

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

The Company believes that with the general downturn in the Company’s markets in recent years, it is reasonably likely that office vacancy rates may continue to increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may continue to decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may continue to increase in most or all of its markets in 2013 and possibly beyond.  As a result of the potential negative effects on the Company’s revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space, the Company’s cash flow could be insufficient to cover increased tenant installation costs over the short-term.  If this situation were to occur, the Company expects that it would finance any shortfalls through borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt and equity financings.
 
 
 
65

 

 
The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its working capital, which may include proceeds from the sale of office properties, net cash provided by operating activities and from its revolving credit facility.  The Company frequently examines potential property acquisitions and development projects and, at any given time, one or more of such acquisitions or development projects may be under consideration.  Accordingly, the ability to fund property acquisitions and development projects is a major part of the Company’s financing requirements.  The Company expects to meet its financing requirements through funds generated from operating activities, to the extent available, 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.

Construction Projects: 
In December 2011, the Company entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ironstate Development LLC (“Ironstate”) for the development of residential towers with associated parking and ancillary retail space on land owned by the Company at its Harborside complex in Jersey City, New Jersey (the “Harborside Residential Project”).  The first phase of the project is expected to consist of a parking pedestal to support a high-rise tower of approximately 763 apartment units and is estimated to cost approximately $291 million, of which development costs of $9.0 million have been incurred through September 30, 2013.  The parties anticipate the first phase will be ready for occupancy by approximately the first quarter of 2016.  In October 2013, the first phase of the project was awarded $33 million in tax credits from New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA).  
 
Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company and Ironstate shall co-develop the Harborside Residential Project with Ironstate responsible for obtaining all required development permits and approvals.  Major decisions with respect to the Harborside Residential Project will require the consent of the Company and Ironstate.  The Company and Ironstate will have 85 and 15 percent interests, respectively, in the Harborside Residential Project.  The Company will receive capital credit of $30 per approved developable square foot for its land, aggregating to approximately $20.3 million at September 30, 2013.  In addition to the capital credit it will receive for its land contribution, the Company currently expects that it will fund approximately $77 million of the development costs of the project.
  
The Development Agreement is subject to obtaining required approvals and development financing as well as numerous customary undertakings, covenants, obligations and conditions.  The Company has the right to reasonably determine that any phase of the Harborside Residential Project is not economically viable and may elect not to proceed, subject to certain conditions, with no further obligations to Ironstate other than reimbursement to Ironstate of all or a portion of the costs incurred by it to obtain any required approvals. 
 
In July 2012, the Company entered into a ground lease with Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. (“Wegmans”) at its undeveloped site located at Sylvan Way and Ridgedale Avenue in Hanover Township, New Jersey. Subject to receiving all necessary governmental approvals, Wegmans intends to construct a store of approximately 140,000 square feet on a finished pad to be delivered by the Company in the second quarter of 2014.  The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $15.7 million for the development of the site through the first quarter of 2015 (of which the Company has incurred $3.5 million through September 30, 2013). 

Repositioning of the Company’s Portfolio:
The Company continually reviews its portfolio and opportunities to divest office properties that no longer meet its long-term strategy, have reached their potential, are less efficient to operate, or when market conditions are favorable to be sold at attractive prices.  The Company anticipates redeploying the proceeds from sales of office properties in the near-term to develop, redevelop and acquire multi-family rental properties in its core Northeast sub-markets as part of its overall strategy to reposition its portfolio from office to multi-family rental sectors. The Company believes this strategy will provide additional working capital for its expansion into the multi-family rental sector.

REIT Restrictions:
To maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code, 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.  Based upon the most recently paid common stock dividend rate of $0.30 per common share, in the aggregate, such distributions would equal approximately $105.3 million ($119.7 million, including common units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the Company) on an annualized basis.  However, any such distribution, whether for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, would be paid out of available cash, including borrowings and other sources, after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock dividends and distributions (if any), and scheduled debt service on the Company’s debt.

Property Lock-Ups:
The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprised of seven properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $124.8 million, which were originally contributed by certain unrelated common unitholders of the Operating Partnership, without the express written consent of such common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate specific common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”).  The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property.  The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2016.  Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is generally 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 specific common unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, a former director; and Timothy M. Jones, former president), the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, a former director, and John J. Cali, a former director).  As of September 30, 2013, 121 of the Company’s properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.6 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.

Unencumbered Properties:
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had 216 unencumbered properties with a carrying value of $2.7 billion as of September 30, 2013, and which total 22.1 million square feet, representing 79.0 percent of the Company’s total portfolio on a square footage basis.


Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $249.8 million to $308.0 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $58.2 million at December 31, 2012.  This increase is comprised of the following net cash flow items:

The actual weighted average LIBOR rate for the Company’s outstanding variable rate debt was 0.18 percent as of September 30, 2013.

Senior Unsecured Notes:
On May 8, 2013, the Company completed the sale of $275 million face amount of 3.15 percent senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2023 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears.  The net proceeds from the issuance of approximately $266.5 million, after underwriting discount and offering expenses, were used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

The terms of the Company’s senior unsecured notes (which totaled approximately $1.6 billion as of September 30, 2013) include certain restrictions and covenants which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum amount of debt leverage, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of debt service coverage and the maximum amount of unsecured debt as a percent of unsecured assets. 

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility:
On July 16, 2013, the Company amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 17 lenders.  The $600 million facility is expandable to $1 billion and matures in July 2017.  It has two six month extension options each requiring the payment of a 7.5 basis point fee.  The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company’s competitive bid feature) and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears are based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

The facility has a competitive bid feature, which allows the Company to solicit bids from lenders under the facility to borrow up to $300 million at interest rates less than those above.

The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage and certain investment limitations.  If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

The lending group for the credit facility consists of: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent; Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent; Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch; U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as documentation agents; Capital One, National Association; Citibank N.A.; Comerica Bank; PNC Bank, National Association; SunTrust Bank; The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD.; The Bank of New York Mellon; as managing agents; and Compass Bank; Branch Banking and Trust Company; TD Bank, N.A.; Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania; Mega International Commercial Bank Co., LTD.  New York Branch, as participants.

Through July 15, 2013, the Company had a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which had an interest rate on outstanding borrowings of LIBOR plus 125 basis points and a facility fee of 25 basis points.

As of October 21, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility.

Money Market Loan:
The Company entered into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to participate in a noncommitted money market loan program (“Money Market Loan”).  The Money Market Loan is an unsecured borrowing of up to $75 million arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank with maturities of 30 days or less.  The rate of interest on the Money Market Loan borrowing is set at the time of each borrowing.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Money Market Loan program.

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

Debt Strategy:
The Company does not intend to reserve funds to retire the Company’s senior unsecured notes, borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility, or its mortgages, loans payable and other obligations upon maturity.  Instead, the Company will seek to refinance such debt at maturity or retire such debt through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities on or before the applicable maturity dates.  If it cannot raise sufficient proceeds to retire the maturing debt, the Company may draw on its revolving credit facility to retire the maturing indebtedness, which would reduce the future availability of funds under such facility.  As of October 21, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and under the Money Market Loan.  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, common and preferred stock, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt, some or all of which may be completed through 2013.  The Company currently anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the sale of office properties, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company’s capital and liquidity needs in the short term.  However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, due to current economic conditions or otherwise, the Company’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed in “REIT Restrictions” above may be adversely affected.

Share Repurchase Program:
The Company has a share repurchase program which was renewed and authorized by its Board of Directors in September 2012 to purchase up to $150 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”), which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company has a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139 million.   

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan:
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance.  The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the Company’s shares of common stock.  The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

Shelf Registration Statements:
The Company has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, and/or warrants of the Company, under which no securities have been sold as of October 21, 2013.
 
The Company and the Operating Partnership also have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.5 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and guarantees of the Company and debt securities of the Operating Partnership, under which $825 million of securities have been sold as of October 21, 2013 and $1.7 billion remains available for future issuances.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt:
The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally provide for recourse to the Company for customary matters such as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations. The Company has agreed to guaranty repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures.  Such debt has a total facility amount of $311.1 million of which the Company has agreed to guarantee up to $89.4 million under certain conditions.  As of September 30, 2013, the outstanding balance of such debt totaled $83.9 million of which $40.2 million was guaranteed by the Company.  The Company has also posted a $4.6 million letter of credit in support of the Harborside South Pier joint venture, half of which is indemnified by Hyatt Corporation, the Company’s joint venture partner.
The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are further discussed in Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures to the Financial Statements.

Funds from Operations 
 
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined as net income (loss) before noncontrolling interest of unitholders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items, sales of depreciable rental property, and impairments related to depreciable rental property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization.  The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT.  The Company further believes that as FFO excludes the effect of depreciation, gains (or losses) from sales of properties and impairments related to depreciable rental property (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs.   
 
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common shareholders 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”).

As the Company considers its primary earnings measure, net income available to common shareholders, as defined by GAAP, to be the most comparable earnings measure to FFO, the following table presents a reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO, as calculated in accordance with NAREIT’s current definition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

Inflation

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

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

Among the factors about which we have made assumptions are:

·  
risks and uncertainties affecting the general economic climate and conditions, which in turn may have a negative effect on the fundamentals of our business and the financial condition of our tenants;
·  
the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis;
·  
the extent of any tenant bankruptcies or of any early lease terminations;
·  
our ability to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents;
·  
changes in the supply of and demand for our properties;
·  
changes in interest rate levels and volatility in the securities markets;
·  
changes in operating costs;
·  
our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts;
·  
the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt and our future interest expense;
·  
changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters; and
·  
other risks associated with the development and acquisition of properties, including risks that the development may not be completed on schedule, that the tenants will not take occupancy or pay rent, or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated.

For further information on factors which could impact us and the statements contained herein, see Item 1A: Risk Factors. We assume no obligation to update and supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events, new information or otherwise.


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 $2.3 billion of the Company’s long-term debt as of September 30, 2013 bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates.  The following table presents principal cash flows (in thousands) based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt.  The interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt as of September 30, 2013 ranged from LIBOR plus 175 basis points to LIBOR plus 350 basis points.  If market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, then the increase or decrease in interest costs on the Company’s variable rate debt would be approximately $0.8 million annually and the increase or decrease in the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2013 would be approximately $95 million.

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 were 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.

Changes In 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.
