OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY
Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value. We intend to achieve this objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and executing our operating strategies through:
Maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit;
Investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City and Washington, D.C., where we believe there is high likelihood of capital appreciation;
Acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents;
Investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area;
Investing in fully integrated operating companies that have a significant real estate component with qualified, experienced operating management and strong growth potential which can benefit from our access to efficient capital;
Developing/redeveloping our existing properties to increase returns and maximize value; and
On occasion, providing specialty financing to real estate companies.
We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from possible asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets.

ACQUISITIONS
On January 1, 2003, the Company acquired for $13,000,000 in cash BMS, which provides cleaning, security and engineering services principally to the Companys Manhattan office properties. This company was previously owned by the estate of Bernard Mendik and certain other individuals including David R. Greenbaum, one of the Companys executive officers.
On April 9, 2003, the Company acquired Kaempfer which owns partial interests in six Class A office properties in Washington D.C. containing 1.8 million square feet, manages and leases these properties and four others for which it receives customary fees and has options to acquire certain other real estate interests, including the Waterfront project discussed below. Kaempfers equity interest in the properties approximates 5.0%. The aggregate purchase price for the equity interests and the management and leasing business was $32,200,000 (consisting of $28,600,000 in cash and approximately 99,300 Operating Partnership units valued at $3,600,000) and may be increased by up to $9,000,000 based on the performance of the management company.
On October 7, 2003, the Company acquired a 2.5% interest in the planned redevelopment of Waterfront, located at 401 M Street, a mixed-use project in Washington D.C. (the Waterfront Interest) for $2,171,000, of which the Company paid $1,545,000 in cash and issued 12,500 Operating Partnership units valued at $626,000. The partnership units were issued to Mitchell N. Schear, one of the partners in the Waterfront interest, who became the President of the Companys CESCR division.
On May 2, 2003, the Company acquired the remaining 40% of a 78-year leasehold interest in 20 Broad Street it did not already own. The purchase price was approximately $30,000,000 in cash. 20 Broad Street contains 466,000 square feet of office space, of which 348,000 square feet is leased to the New York Stock Exchange.
On August 4, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of 2101 L Street, a 370,000 square foot office building located in Washington D.C. The consideration for the acquisition consisted of approximately 1.1 million newly issued Operating Partnership units (valued at approximately $49,517,000) and the assumption of existing mortgage debt and transaction costs totaling approximately $32,000,000. Robert H. Smith and Robert P. Kogod, trustees of Vornado, together with family members owned approximately 24 percent of the limited partnership that sold the building and Mr. Smith was a general partner. On August 5, 2003, the Company repaid the mortgage of $29,056,000.

On December 12, 2003, the Company acquired the Bergen Mall for approximately $145,000,000. This purchase was funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free like-kind exchange with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Companys Two Park Avenue property. The Bergen Mall is a 903,000 square foot shopping center located on Route 4 East in Paramus, New Jersey. The center is anchored by Macys, Value City, Marshalls and Off Saks Fifth Avenue. The Company intends to expand, re-tenant and redevelop the asset.
On June 13, 2003, the Company received its $5,000,000 share of a settlement with affiliates of Primestone Investment Partners of the amounts due under the guarantees of the Primestone loans. In connection therewith, the Company recognized a $1,388,000 loss on settlement of the guarantees.
On October 10, 2003, the Company sold Two Park Avenue, a 965,000 square foot office building, for $292,000,000 to SEB Immobilien-Investment GMBH, a German capital investment company, which resulted in a net gain on the sale after closing costs of $156,433,000.
In addition, the Company sold two strip shopping centers in 2003, for an aggregate of $7,852,000, which resulted in net gains of $4,589,000.
On February 2, 2004, the Palisades Venture in which the Company owns a 75% interest entered into an agreement to sell its only asset, a 538 unit high-rise residential apartment tower in Fort Lee, New Jersey, for $222,500,000. On February 27, 2004, in order to permit a potential like kind exchange, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest it did not previously own for its partners share of the net sales price (approximately $17,000,000). The Companys gain on sale after closing costs will be approximately $70,000,000. The sale, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2004.

The new facility has a three-year term, a one-year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus ..65%. The Company also has the ability under the new facility to seek up to $800 million of commitments during the facilitys term. The new facility contains financial covenants similar to the prior facility.
On November 11, 2003, the Company redeemed all of its 8.5% Series D-1 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units issued in 1998 at a redemption price equal to the par value of $25.00 per unit or an aggregate of $87,500,000 plus accrued distributions of $849,000. This amount exceeded the carrying amount by $2,100,000, representing the original issuance costs. Upon the redemption, these issuance costs were recorded as a reduction to earnings in arriving at net income applicable to common shares in accordance with the July 2003 EITF clarification of Topic-D-42.
On November 17, 2003, the Company sold $40,000,000 of 7.00% Series D-10 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares to an institutional investor in a registered offering. Immediately prior to that sale, Vornado Realty L.P. sold $80,000,000 of 7.00% Series D-10 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units to an institutional investor in a separate private offering. Both the perpetual Preferred Units and perpetual Preferred Shares may be called without penalty at the option of the Company commencing in November 2008.
On November 25, 2003, the Company completed an offering of $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior unsecured notes due December 1, 2010. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on June 1st and December 1st, commencing in 2004. The notes were priced at 99.869% of their face amount to yield 4.772%. The notes contain the same financial covenants that are in the Companys notes issued in June 2002, except the maximum ratio of secured debt to total assets is now 50% (previously 55%). The net proceeds of approximately $198,500,000 were used primarily to repay existing mortgage debt.
Further details of the Companys financing activities are disclosed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II of this annual report on Form 10-K.
At December 31, 2003, the ratio of debt-to-enterprise value (market equity value plus debt less cash) was 35% based on debt of $5.115 billion, including the Companys proportionate share of debt of partially-owned non-consolidated entities. In the future, in connection with the Companys strategy for growth, this percentage may change. The Companys policy concerning the incurrence of debt may be reviewed and modified from time to time without the vote of shareholders.
The Company may seek to obtain funds through equity offerings, debt financings or asset sales, although there is no express policy with respect thereto. The Company may offer its shares or Operating Partnership units in exchange for property and may repurchase or otherwise re-acquire its shares or any other securities in the future.

VORNADO OPERATING COMPANY (Vornado Operating)
In October 1998, Vornado Operating was spun off from the Company in order to own assets that the Company could not itself own and conduct activities that the Company could not itself conduct. The Company and Vornado Operating are parties to certain agreements described below.
The Company and Vornado Operating are parties to an agreement pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the Company will under certain circumstances offer Vornado Operating an opportunity to become the lessee of certain real property owned now or in the future by the Company (under mutually satisfactory lease terms) and (ii) Vornado Operating will not make any real estate investment or other REIT-qualified investment unless it first offers the Company the opportunity to make such investment and the Company has rejected that opportunity.
Under the agreement, the Company provides Vornado Operating with certain administrative, corporate, accounting, financial, insurance, legal, tax, data processing, human resources and operational services. For these services, Vornado Operating compensates the Company in an amount determined in good faith by the Company as the amount an unaffiliated third party would charge Vornado Operating for comparable services and reimburses the Company for certain costs incurred and paid to third parties on behalf of Vornado Operating. Pursuant to the agreement, compensation for such services was approximately $330,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and $371,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Vornado Operating and the Company each have the right to terminate the agreement if the other party is in material default of the agreement or upon 90 days written notice to the other party at any time. In addition, the Company has the right to terminate the agreement upon a change in control of Vornado Operating.
Steven Roth, Michael Fascitelli, Richard West and Russell Wight are directors of Vornado Operating. Steven Roth is also Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado Operating, Michael Fascitelli is also President of Vornado Operating, and certain other members of the Companys senior management hold corresponding positions with Vornado Operating.
On March 11, 1999, the Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership (the Landlord) in which the Company has a 60% general partnership interest and Crescent Real Estate Equities has a 40% general partnership interest, sold all of the non-real estate assets of Temperature Controlled Logistics encompassing the operations of the temperature controlled business to a new partnership (AmeriCold Logistics) owned 60% by Vornado Operating and 40% by Crescent Operating Inc. AmeriCold Logistics leases the underlying temperature controlled warehouses used in this business from the Landlord which continues to own the real estate through its ownership of AmeriCold Realty Trust. The leases, as amended, generally have a 15 year term with two-five year renewal options and provide for the payment of fixed base rent and percentage rent based on revenue AmeriCold Logistics receives from its customers. The contractual rent for 2003 was $155,450,000. The Landlords share of annual maintenance capital expenditures was $9,500,000. In accordance with the leases, AmeriCold Logistics deferred payment of $41,811,000 of 2003 rent due to the Landlord, of which the Companys share was $25,087,000. Based on the joint ventures policy of recognizing rental income when earned and collection is assured or cash is received, the joint venture did not recognize the amount of the rent deferred by AmeriCold Logistics in the year ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, the Companys share of the joint ventures total deferred rent receivable from the tenant was $49,436,000.
On February 5, 2004, AmeriCold Realty Trust completed a $254,400,000 mortgage financing for 21 of its owned and 7 of its leased temperature-controlled warehouses. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.95% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5% with respect to $54,400,000 of the loan) and requires principal payments of $5,000,000 annually. The loan matures in April 2009 and is pre-payable without penalty after February 5, 2006. The net proceeds were approximately $225,000,000 after providing for usual escrows, closing costs and the repayment of $12,900,000 of existing mortgages on two of the warehouses, of which $135,000,000 was distributed to the Company and the remainder was distributed to its partner.
14
Revolving Credit Agreement
Vornado Operating was granted a $75,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility from the Company which expires on December 31, 2004. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 3%. The Company receives a commitment fee equal to 1% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the facility. No amortization is required to be paid under the revolving credit facility during its term. The revolving credit facility prohibits Vornado Operating from incurring indebtedness to third parties (other than certain purchase money debt and certain other exceptions) and prohibits Vornado Operating from paying dividends. As of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, amounts outstanding under the credit facility were $21,989,000, $21,989,000 and $31,424,000.
Vornado Operating has disclosed that there is substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Vornado Operating has incurred losses since its inception and in the aggregate its investments do not, and for the foreseeable future are not expected to, generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of its debts and expenses. Vornado Operating estimates that it has adequate borrowing capacity under its credit facility with the Company to meet its cash needs until December 31, 2004. However, the principal, interest and fees outstanding under the line of credit come due on such date. Further, Vornado Operating states that its only investee, AmeriCold Logistics (Tenant), anticipates that its Landlord, a partnership 60% owned by the Company and 40% owned by Crescent Real Estate Equities, will need to restructure the leases between the Landlord and the Tenant to provide additional cash flow to the Tenant (the Landlord has previously restructured the leases to provide additional cash flow to the Tenant). Management anticipates a further lease restructuring in 2004, although it is under no obligation to do so and there can be no assurance that it will do so. Vornado Operating is expected to have a source to repay the debt under this facility from the lease restructuring or other options, although not by its original due date. Since January 1, 2002, the Company has not recognized interest income on the debt under this facility.
On February 23, 2004, AmeriCold Logistics announced that Alec Covington resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer effective March 31, 2004, to take an opportunity in an unrelated industry. A search to identify a successor is currently underway.
ALEXANDERS
The Company owns 33.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Alexanders. See Interstate Properties below for a description of Interstates ownership of the Company and Alexanders.
Alexanders has six properties (see Item 2. PropertiesAlexanders).
At December 31, 2003, the Company had loans receivable from Alexanders of $124,000,000, including $29,000,000 drawn under a $50,000,000 line of credit. The maturity date of the loans is the earlier of January 3, 2006, or the date the Alexanders Lexington Avenue construction loan is finally repaid. The Company accrues interest at 12.48% on the loans, which resets quarterly using a 9.48% spread to one-year treasuries with a 3% floor for treasuries.
The Company manages, develops and leases the Alexanders properties under a management and development agreement and a leasing agreement pursuant to which the Company receives annual fees from Alexanders. Further, the Company has agreed to guarantee to the construction lender, the lien free, timely completion of the construction of Alexanders Lexington Avenue development project and funding of project costs in excess of a stated budget, if not funded by Alexanders. These agreements are described in Note 5 to the Companys consolidated financial statements. See Item 2 - Properties for a description of Alexanders properties and development and redevelopment projects.
Messrs. Roth, Fascitelli, Mandelbaum, West and Wight, directors of the Company, are also directors of Alexanders. Mr. Roth is also Chief Executive Officer of Alexanders and Mr. Fascitelli is also President of Alexanders. Joseph Macnow, Executive Vice President - Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, is also Chief Financial Officer of Alexanders.
Alexanders common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ALX.
15
INTERSTATE PROPERTIES
As of December 31, 2003, Interstate Properties and its partners owned approximately 11.7% of the common shares of beneficial interest of the Company, 27.5% of Alexanders common stock and beneficial ownership of 7.9% of Vornado Operating (17.0% assuming redemption of 447,017 units of Vornado Operating that are redeemable for cash, or at Vornado Operatings election, common stock of Vornado Operating). Interstate Properties is a general partnership in which Steven Roth, David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr. are the partners. Mr. Roth is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Managing General Partner of Interstate Properties, and the Chief Executive Officer and a director of both Alexanders and Vornado Operating. Mr. Wight is a trustee of the Company and is also a director of both Alexanders and Vornado Operating. Mr. Mandelbaum is a trustee of the Company and is also a director of Alexanders.
COMPETITION
The Companys business segments Office, Retail, Merchandise Mart Properties, Temperature Controlled Logistics, and Other operate in highly competitive environments. The Company has a large concentration of properties in the New York City metropolitan area and in the Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia area. The Company competes with a large number of real estate property owners and developers. Principal factors of competition are rent charged, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and breadth and quality of services provided. The Companys success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.
TENANTS WHICH ACCOUNTED FOR OVER 10% OF REVENUES
In 2003, the Company had 124 separate leases with the U.S. Government, the rent from which accounted for 12.7% of the Companys total revenues. The loss of this tenant would have a material adverse effect on the Companys finances as a whole.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The Companys operations and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning the protection of the environment including air and water quality, hazardous or toxic substances and health and safety. Under certain of these environmental laws a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances released at a property. The owner or operator may also be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage or personal injuries and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by those parties because of the contamination. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of the release of the substances or caused the release. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may impair the Companys ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. Other laws and regulations govern indoor and outdoor air quality including those that can require the abatement or removal of asbestos-containing materials in the event of damage, demolition, renovation or remodeling and also govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. The maintenance and removal of lead paint and certain electrical equipment containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and underground storage tanks are also regulated by federal and state laws. The Company could incur fines for environmental compliance and be held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to the foregoing regulated substances or tanks or related claims arising out of environmental contamination or exposure at or from the Companys properties.
Each of the Companys properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any environmental condition material to the Companys business. However, identification of new compliance concerns or undiscovered areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, discovery of additional sites, human exposure to the contamination or changes in cleanup or compliance requirements could result in significant costs to the Company.
16
CERTAIN ACTIVITIES
Acquisitions and investments are not required to be based on specific allocation by type of property. The Company has historically held its properties for long-term investment; however, it is possible that properties in the portfolio may be sold in whole or in part, as circumstances warrant, from time to time. Further, the Company has not adopted a policy that limits the amount or percentage of assets which would be invested in a specific property. While the Company may seek the vote of its shareholders in connection with any particular material transaction, generally the Companys activities are reviewed and may be modified from time to time by its Board of Trustees without the vote of shareholders.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2003, the Company had approximately 2,700 employees consisting of 1,511 in the Office Properties segment, 61 in the Retail Properties segment, 470 in the Merchandise Mart Properties segment, 440 at the Hotel Pennsylvania and 218 corporate staff. This does not include employees of partially-owned entities.
INSURANCE
The Company carries comprehensive liability and all risk property insurance ((i) fire, (ii) flood, (iii) extended coverage, (iv) acts of terrorism as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 which expires in 2004 with a possible extension through 2005 and (v) rental loss insurance) with respect to its assets.

(1) Limited as to terrorism insurance by the sub-limit shown in the adjacent column.
In addition to the coverage above, the Company carries lesser amounts of coverage for terrorist acts not covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002.
The Companys debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by its properties (which are generally non-recourse to the Company), its senior unsecured notes due 2007 and 2010 and its revolving credit agreement, contain customary covenants requiring the Company to maintain insurance. Although the Company believes that it has adequate insurance coverage under these agreements, the Company may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than the Company is able to obtain, it could adversely affect the Companys ability to finance and/or refinance its properties and expand its portfolio.
17

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Set forth below are certain factors that may adversely affect our business and operations.
Real Estate Investments Value and Income Fluctuate Due to Various Factors.
The value of real estate fluctuates depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate business. These conditions may also limit our revenues and available cash.
The factors that affect the value of the our real estate include, among other things, national, regional and local economic conditions; consequences of any armed conflict involving, or terrorist attack against, the United States; our ability to secure adequate insurance; local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area; competition from other available space; whether tenants consider a property attractive; the financial condition of our tenants, including the extent of tenant bankruptcies or defaults; whether we are able to pass some or all of any increased operating costs through to tenants; how well we manage our properties; fluctuations in interest rates; changes in real estate taxes and other expenses; changes in market rental rates; the timing and costs associated with property improvements and rentals; changes in taxation or zoning laws; government regulation; availability of financing on acceptable terms or at all; potential liability under environmental or other laws or regulations; and general competitive factors.
The rents we receive and the occupancy levels at our properties may decline as a result of adverse changes in any of these factors. If our rental revenues decline, we generally would expect to have less cash available to pay our indebtedness and distribute to our shareholders. In addition, some of our major expenses, including mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, generally do not decline when the related rents decline.
We depend on leasing space to tenants on economically favorable terms and collecting rent from our tenants, who may not be able to pay.
Our financial results depend on leasing space in our properties to tenants on economically favorable terms. In addition, because substantially all of our income comes from renting of real property, our income, funds available to pay indebtedness and funds available for distribution to our shareholders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent. If a tenant does not pay its rent, we might not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and might incur substantial legal costs. For information regarding the bankruptcy of our tenants, see Bankruptcy of tenants may decrease our revenues and available cash below.
Bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants may decrease our revenues and available cash.
A number of companies, including some of our tenants, have declared bankruptcy in recent years, and other tenants may declare bankruptcy or become insolvent in the future. If a major tenant declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the rental property where it leases space may have lower revenues and operational difficulties, and, in the case of our shopping centers, we may have difficulty leasing the remainder of the affected property. Our leases generally do not contain restrictions designed to ensure the creditworthiness of its tenants. As a result, the bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant could result in a lower level of funds from operations available for distribution to our shareholders or the payment of our indebtedness.
In February 2003, KoninKlijke Ahold NV, parent of Stop & Shop, announced that it overstated its 2002 and 2001 earnings by at least $500 million and is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission. See Item 2. Properties - Retail Segment - Former Bradlees locations for information about former Bradlees leases guaranteed by Stop & Shop. We cannot predict what effect, if any, this situation may have on Stop & Shops ability to satisfy its obligation under the Bradlees guarantees and rent for existing Stop & Shop leases aggregating approximately $10.5 million per annum.
The risk that some of our tenants may declare bankruptcy has been higher because of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the resulting decline in the economy. If there is not a sustained recovery of the economy, this risk may increase.
19
All of Our Temperature Controlled Logistics Warehouses Are Leased to One Tenant, and That Tenant Is Experiencing Operating Difficulties.
The Operating Partnership owns a 60% general partnership interest in a partnership, which we refer to as the Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership, that owns 87 cold storage warehouses nationwide with an aggregate of approximately 440.7 million cubic feet of refrigerated, frozen and dry storage space. In 1998, the Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership sold all of the non-real estate assets encompassing the operations of the temperature controlled business to a new partnership named AmeriCold Logistics, owned 60% by Vornado Operating Company, an independent, public company, which we refer to as Vornado Operating, and 40% by Crescent Operating Inc. AmeriCold Logistics leases the underlying temperature controlled warehouses used in this business from the Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership (the Landlord) which continues to own the real estate. During 2003, AmeriCold Logistics generated approximately 9% of our EBITDA. The leases, as amended, generally have a 15-year term with two-five year renewal options and provide for the payment of fixed base rent and percentage rent based on revenue AmeriCold Logistics receives from its customers. The contractual rent for 2003 was $155,450,000. The Landlords share of annual maintenance capital expenditures is $9,500,000. In accordance with the leases, AmeriCold Logistics deferred payment of $41,811,000 of 2003 rent due to the Landlord, of which our share was $25,087,000. Based on the joint ventures policy of recognizing rental income when earned and collection is assured or cash is received, the joint venture did not recognize the amount of the rent deferred by AmeriCold Logistics in the year ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, our share of the joint ventures total deferred rent receivable from the tenant is $49,436,000.
To the extent that the operations of AmeriCold Logistics may affect its ability to pay rent, including percentage rent due under the leases, we indirectly bear the risks associated with AmeriCold Logistics cold storage business. The cold storage business is extremely competitive. Factors affecting AmeriCold Logistics ability to compete include, among others, (a) general economic conditions, (b) customer policies about outsourcing warehouse and logistic services (c) warehouse locations, (d) customer mix and (e) availability, quality and price of additional services.
Real estate is a competitive business.
For a discussion of risks related to competition in the real estate business, see Item 1. Business Competition.
We may incur costs to comply with environmental laws.
For a discussion of risks related to the Companys compliance with environmental laws, see Item 1. Business Environmental Regulations.
Some of our potential losses may not be covered by insurance.
For a discussion of risks related to our insurance coverage, see Item 1. Business Insurance.
Our Investments Are Concentrated in the New York City/New Jersey and Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Areas. Circumstances Affecting These Areas Generally Could Adversely Affect Our Business.
A significant proportion of our properties are in the New York City/New Jersey and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas and are affected by the economic cycles and risks inherent to those regions.
During 2003, 73% of our EBITDA came from properties located in New Jersey and the New York City and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas. In addition, we may continue to concentrate a significant portion of our future acquisitions in New Jersey and the New York City and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas. Like other real estate markets, the real estate markets in these areas have experienced economic downturns in the past, and we cannot predict how the current economic conditions will impact these markets in both the short and long term. Further declines in the economy or a decline in the real estate markets in these areas could hurt our financial performance and the value of our properties. The factors affecting economic conditions in these regions include: space needs of the United States Government, business layoffs or downsizing; industry slowdowns; relocations of businesses; changing demographics; increased telecommuting and use of alternative work places; financial performance and productivity of the publishing, advertising, financial, technology, retail, insurance and real estate industries; infrastructure quality; and any oversupply of or reduced demand for real estate.
20
It is impossible for us to assess the future effects of the current uncertain trends in the economic and investment climates of the New York City/New Jersey and Washington, D.C. regions, and more generally of the United States, or the real estate markets in these areas. If these conditions persist or if any local, national or global economic recovery is of a short term, businesses and future profitability may be adversely affected.
Terrorist Attacks such as those of September 11, 2001 in New York City and the Washington, D.C. Area May Adversely Affect the Value of Our Properties and Our Ability to Generate Cash Flow.
We have significant investments in large metropolitan areas, including the New York/New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Chicago metropolitan areas. In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, tenants in these areas may choose to relocate their business to less populated, lower-profile areas of the United States that may be percieved to be less likely targets of future terrorist activity. This in turn would trigger a decrease in the demand for space in these areas, which could increase vacancies in our properties and force us to lease our properties on less favorable terms. As a result, the value of our properties and the level of our revenues could decline materially.
We May Acquire or Sell Additional Assets or Develop Additional Properties. Our Failure or Inability to Consummate These Transactions or Manage the Results of These Transactions Could Adversely Affect Our Operations and Financial Results.
We have grown rapidly through acquisitions. We may not be able to maintain this rapid growth and our failure to do so could adversely affect our stock price.
We have experienced rapid growth in recent years, increasing our total assets from approximately $565 million at December 31, 1996 to approximately $9.5 billion at December 31, 2003. We may not be able to maintain a similar rate of growth in the future or manage our growth effectively. Our failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.
We may acquire or develop new properties and this may create risks.
We may acquire or develop properties or acquire other real estate companies when we believe that an acquisition or development is consistent with our business strategies. We may not, however, succeed in consummating desired acquisitions or in completing developments on time or within budget. We also may not succeed in leasing newly developed or acquired properties at rents sufficient to cover their costs of acquisition or development and operations. Difficulties in integrating acquisitions may prove costly or time-consuming and could divert managements attention.
It may be difficult to buy and sell real estate quickly.
Real estate investments are relatively difficult to buy and sell quickly. Consequently, we may have limited ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.
We may not be permitted to dispose of certain properties or pay down the debt associated with those properties when we might otherwise desire to do so without incurring additional costs.
As part of an acquisition of a property, including our January 1, 2002, acquisition of CESCRs 13.0 million square foot portfolio, we may agree, and in the case of CESCR did agree, with the seller that we will not dispose of the acquired properties or reduce the mortgage indebtedness on them for significant periods of time unless we pay certain of the resulting tax costs of the seller. These agreements could result in our holding on to properties that we would otherwise sell and not pay down or refinance indebtedness that we would otherwise pay down or refinance.
21
On January 1, 2002, we completed the acquisition of the 66% interest in CESCR that we did not previously own. The terms of the merger restrict our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of, or to finance or refinance, the properties formerly owned by Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty L.P., which could result in our inability to sell these properties at an opportune time and increased costs to us.
Subject to limited exceptions, we are restricted from selling or otherwise transferring or disposing of certain properties located in the Crystal City area of Arlington, Virginia or an interest in our division that manages the majority of our office properties in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, which we refer to as the CESCR Division, for a period of 12 years with respect to certain properties located in the Crystal City area of Arlington, Virginia or six years with respect to an interest in the CESCR Division. These restrictions, which currently cover approximately 13.0 million square feet of space, could result in our inability to sell these properties or an interest in the CESCR Division at an opportune time and increase costs to us.
Our Organizational and Financial Structure Gives Rise to Operational and Financial Risks.
We May Not Be Able to Obtain Capital to Make Investments.
We depend primarily on external financing to fund the growth of our business. This is because one of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for a REIT is that it distribute 90% of its net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its shareholders (there is a separate requirement to distribute net capital gains or pay a corporate level tax in lieu). Our access to debt or equity financing depends on the willingness of third parties to lend or make equity investments and on conditions in the capital markets generally. We and other companies in the real estate industry have experienced limited availability of financing from time to time. Although we believe that we will be able to finance any investments we may wish to make in the foreseeable future, new financing may not be available on acceptable terms.
For information about our available sources of funds, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources and the notes to the consolidated financial statements in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Vornado Realty Trust depends on its direct and indirect subsidiaries dividends and distributions, and these subsidiaries creditors and preferred security holders are entitled to payment of amounts payable to them by the subsidiaries before the subsidiaries may pay any dividends or distributions to Vornado Realty Trust.
Substantially all of Vornado Realty Trusts assets are held through its Operating Partnership which holds substantially all of its properties and assets through subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership therefore depends for substantially all of its cash flow on cash distributions to it by its subsidiaries, and Vornado Realty Trust in turn depends for substantially all of its cash flow on cash distributions to it by the Operating Partnership. The creditors of each of the Vornado Realty Trusts direct and indirect subsidiaries are entitled to payment of that subsidiarys obligations to them, when due and payable, before distributions may be made by that subsidiary to its equity holders. Thus, the Operating Partnerships ability to make distributions to holders of units depends on its subsidiaries ability first to satisfy their obligations to their creditors and then to make distributions to the Operating Partnership. Likewise, Vornado Realty Trusts ability to pay dividends to holders of common and preferred shares depends on the Operating Partnerships ability first to satisfy its obligations to its creditors and make distributions payable to holders of preferred units and then to make distributions to Vornado Realty Trust.
Furthermore, the holders of preferred units of the Operating Partnership are entitled to receive preferred distributions before payment of distributions to holders of common units of the Operating Partnership, including Vornado Realty Trust. Thus, Vornado Realty Trust ability to pay dividends to holders of its common shares and satisfy its debt obligations depends on the Operating Partnerships ability first to satisfy its obligations to its creditors and make distributions payable to holders of preferred units and then to make distributions to Vornado Realty Trust. There are currently 17 series of preferred units of the Operating Partnership not held by Vornado Realty Trust that have preference over Vornado Realty Trust common shares. The total liquidation value of these 17 series of preferred units is approximately $1,417,950,000.
22
In addition, Vornado Realty Trust participation in any distribution of the assets of any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries upon the liquidation, reorganization or insolvency of the subsidiary, is only after the claims of the creditors, including trade creditors, and preferred security holders, if any, of the subsidiary are satisfied.
We have indebtedness, and this indebtedness may increase.
As of December 31, 2003, we had approximately $5.115 billion in total debt outstanding. Our ratio of total debt to total enterprise value was 35%. When we say enterprise value in the preceding sentence, we mean market equity value of Vornado Realty Trust plus debt less cash. In the future, we may incur additional debt, and thus increase its ratio of total debt to total enterprise value, to finance acquisitions or property developments.
Vornado Realty Trust might fail to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.
Although we believe that we will remain organized and will continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we might fail to remain qualified in this way. Qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes is governed by highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. Our qualification as a REIT also depends on various facts and circumstances that are not entirely within our control. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions might significantly change the tax laws with respect to the requirements for qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of qualification as a REIT.
If, with respect to any taxable year, Vornado Realty Trust fails to maintain its qualification as a REIT, it could not deduct distributions to shareholders in computing its taxable income and would have to pay federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. The federal income tax payable would include any applicable alternative minimum tax. If Vornado Realty Trust had to pay federal income tax, the amount of money available to distribute to shareholders and pay its indebtedness would be reduced for the year or years involved, and Vornado Realty Trust would no longer be required to distribute money to shareholders. In addition, Vornado Realty Trust would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost, unless it was entitled to relief under the relevant statutory provisions. Although Vornado Realty Trust currently intends to operate in a manner designed to allow it to qualify as a REIT, future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause it to revoke the REIT election.
Loss of the Companys key personnel could harm our operations and adversely affect the value of our common shares.
We are dependent on the efforts of Steven Roth, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado Realty Trust, and Michael D. Fascitelli, the President of Vornado Realty Trust. While we believe that we could find replacements for these key personnel, the loss of their services could harm our operations and adversely affect the value or our common shares.
Vornado Realty Trusts charter documents and applicable law may hinder any attempt to acquire us.
Generally, for Vornado Realty Trust to maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of Vornado Realty Trust may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of Vornado Realty Trusts taxable year. The Internal Revenue Code defines individuals for purposes of the requirement described in the preceding sentence to include some types of entities. Under Vornado Realty Trusts Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as amended, no person may own more than 6.7% of the outstanding common shares or 9.9% of the outstanding preferred shares, with some exceptions for persons who held common shares in excess of the 6.7% limit before Vornado Realty Trust adopted the limit and other persons approved by Vornado Realty Trusts Board of Trustees. These restrictions on transferability and ownership may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of the Company or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of the shareholders. We refer to Vornado Realty Trusts Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as amended, as the declaration of trust.
Vornado Realty Trusts Board of Trustees is divided into three classes of trustees. Trustees of each class are chosen for three-year staggered terms. Staggered terms of trustees may reduce the possibility of a tender offer or an attempt to change control of the Company, even though a tender offer or change in control might be in the best interest of Vornado Realty Trusts shareholders.
23
The declaration of trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to, cause Vornado Realty Trust to issue additional authorized but unissued common shares or preferred shares; classify or reclassify, in one or more series, any unissued preferred shares; set the preferences, rights and other terms of any classified or reclassified shares that Vornado Realty Trust issues; and increase, without shareholder approval, the number of shares of beneficial interest that Vornado Realty Trust may issue.
The Board of Trustees could establish a series of preferred shares whose terms could delay, deter or prevent a change in control of the Company or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of Vornado Realty Trusts shareholders, although the Board of Trustees does not now intend to establish a series of preferred shares of this kind. Vornado Realty Trusts declaration of trust and bylaws contain other provisions that may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of the Company or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of the shareholders.
Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended, which we refer to as the MGCL, as applicable to real estate investment trusts, certain business combinations, including certain mergers, consolidations, share exchanges and asset transfers and certain issuances and reclassifications of equity securities, between a Maryland real estate investment trust and any person who beneficially owns ten percent or more of the voting power of the trusts shares or an affiliate or an associate, as defined in the MGCL, of the trust who, at any time within the two-year period before the date in question, was the beneficial owner of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting shares of beneficial interest of the trust, which we refer to as an interested shareholder, or an affiliate of the interested shareholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder. After that five-year period, any business combination of these kinds must be recommended by the board of trustees of the trust and approved by the affirmative vote of at least (a) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the trust and (b) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting shares of the trust other than shares held by the interested shareholder with whom, or with whose affiliate, the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other conditions, the trusts common shareholders receive a minimum price, as defined in the MGCL, for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for its common shares. The provisions of the MGCL do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of trustees of the applicable trust before the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, and a person is not an interested shareholder if the board of trustees approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become an interested shareholder. In approving a transaction, the board may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board. Vornado Realty Trusts board has adopted a resolution exempting any business combination between any trustee or officer of the Company, or their affiliates, and the Company. As a result, the trustees and officers of the Company and their affiliates may be able to enter into business combinations with the Company which may not be in the best interest of shareholders. With respect to business combinations with other persons, the business combination provisions of the MGCL may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of the shareholders. The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of the Company and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
Our Ownership Structure and Related-Party Transactions May Give Rise to Conflicts of Interest.
Steven Roth and Interstate Properties may exercise substantial influence over the Company. They and some of the Companys other trustees and officers have interests or positions in other entities that may compete with the Company.
As of December 31, 2003, Interstate Properties, a New Jersey general partnership, and its partners owned approximately 11.7% of the common shares of Vornado Realty Trust and approximately 27.5% of the common stock of Alexanders, Inc. and beneficially owned approximately 7.9% of the common stock of Vornado Operating (approximately 17.0% assuming redemption of 447,017 units of Vornado Operating L.P., the operating subsidiary of Vornado Operating, that are beneficially owned by Interstate Properties and redeemable for common stock of Vornado Operating). Steven Roth, David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr. are the three partners of Interstate Properties. Mr. Roth is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado Realty Trust, the managing general partner of Interstate Properties, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Alexanders and the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado Operating. Mr. Wight is a trustee of Vornado Realty Trust and is also a director of both Alexanders and Vornado Operating. Mr. Mandelbaum is a trustee of Vornado Realty Trust and is also a director of Alexanders.
As of December 31, 2003, we owned 33.1% of the outstanding common stock of Alexanders. Alexanders is a REIT engaged in leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping properties, focusing primarily on the locations where its department stores operated before they ceased operations in 1992. Alexanders has six properties, which are located in the New York City metropolitan area. Mr. Roth and Mr. Fascitelli, the President and a trustee of Vornado Realty Trust, are
24
directors of Alexanders. Messrs. Mandelbaum, West and Wight are trustees of Vornado Realty Trust and are also directors of Alexanders.
Because of these overlapping interests, Mr. Roth and Interstate Properties and its partners may have substantial influence over Vornado Realty Trust, Alexanders and Vornado Operating and on the outcome of any matters submitted to Vornado Realty Trust, Alexanders or Vornado Operatings shareholders for approval. In addition, certain decisions concerning the Companys operations or financial structure may present conflicts of interest among Messrs. Roth, Mandelbaum and Wight and Interstate Properties and the Companys other equity or debt holders. In addition, Mr. Roth and Interstate Properties and its partners currently and may in the future engage in a wide variety of activities in the real estate business which may result in conflicts of interest with respect to matters affecting the Company, Alexanders or Vornado Operating, such as which of these entities or persons, if any, may take advantage of potential business opportunities, the business focus of these entities, the types of properties and geographic locations in which these entities make investments, potential competition between business activities conducted, or sought to be conducted, by the Company, Interstate Properties, Alexanders and Vornado Operating, competition for properties and tenants, possible corporate transactions such as acquisitions and other strategic decisions affecting the future of these entities.
The Company currently manages and leases the real estate assets of Interstate Properties under a management agreement for which the Company receives an annual fee equal to 4% of base rent and percentage rent and certain other commissions. The management agreement has a term of one year and is automatically renewable unless terminated by either of the parties on 60 days notice at the end of the term. The Company earned $703,000, $747,000 and $1,133,000 of management fees under the management agreement for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. In addition, during fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, as a result of a previously existing leasing arrangement with Alexanders, Alexanders paid to Interstate $587,000, $703,000 and $522,000, respectively, for the leasing an other services actually rendered by the Company. Upon receipt of these payments, Interstate promptly paid them over to the Company without retaining any interest therein. This arrangement was terminated in 2003 and all payments by Alexanders for these leasing and other services are made directly to the Company. Because the Company and Interstate Properties are controlled by the same persons, as described above, the terms of the management agreement and any future agreements between the Company and Interstate Properties may not be comparable to those the Company could have negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
We engage in transactions with Vornado Operating on terms that may or may not be comparable to those it could negotiate with unaffiliated third parties.
In October 1998, Vornado Operating was spun off from the Company in order to own assets that the Company could not itself own and conduct activities that the Company could not itself conduct. In addition to being trustees of Vornado Realty Trust, Messrs. Roth, Fascitelli, West and Wight are directors of Vornado Operating. Mr. Roth is also Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado Operating, Mr. Fascitelli is also President of Vornado Operating, and certain other members of the Companys senior management hold corresponding positions with Vornado Operating.
The Company entered into a $75,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with Vornado Operating that expires on December 31, 2004. Borrowings under the revolving credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 3%. The Company receives an annual commitment fee equal to 1% on the average daily unused portion of the facility. Vornado Operating is not required to pay any amortization under the revolving credit agreement during its term. The revolving credit agreement prohibits Vornado Operating from incurring indebtedness to third parties, other than certain purchase money debt and certain other exceptions, and prohibits Vornado Operating from paying dividends. As of December 31, 2003, $21,989,000 was the carrying balance on our books for the amount outstanding under the revolving credit agreement.
The Company and Vornado Operating are parties to an agreement under which, among other things, (a) we will offer Vornado Operating, under certain circumstances, an opportunity to become the lessee of certain real property owned now or in the future by us under mutually satisfactory lease terms and (b) Vornado Operating will not make any real estate investment or other investments known as REIT-qualified investments unless it first offers us the opportunity to make the investment and we have rejected that opportunity. Under this agreement, we provide Vornado Operating with administrative, corporate, accounting, financial, insurance, legal, tax, data processing, human resources and operational services. For these services, Vornado Operating compensates us in an amount determined in good faith by us as the amount an unaffiliated third party would charge Vornado Operating for comparable services and reimburses us for certain costs incurred and paid to third parties on behalf of Vornado Operating. Under this agreement, compensation for these services was approximately $330,000, for each of the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002 and $371,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Vornado Operating and the Company each have the right to terminate this agreement if the other party is in material default of the agreement or upon 90 days written notice to the other party at any time. In addition, we have the right to terminate this agreement upon a change in control of Vornado Operating.
25
Vornado Operatings restated certificate of incorporation specifies that one of its corporate purposes is to perform this agreement and, for so long as the agreement remains in effect, prohibits Vornado Operating from making any real estate investment or other REIT-qualified investment without first offering the opportunity to the Company in the manner specified in the agreement.
The Company and Vornado Operating may enter into additional transactions in the future. Because the Company and Vornado Operating share common senior management and because four of the Companys trustees also constitute the majority of the directors of Vornado Operating, the terms of the foregoing agreements and any future agreements between us and Vornado Operating may not be comparable to those we could have negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
There may be conflicts of interest between Alexanders and Us
As of December 31, 2003, the Operating Partnership owned 33.1% of the outstanding common stock of Alexanders. Alexanders is a REIT engaged in leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping properties, focusing primarily on the locations where its department stores operated before they ceased operations in 1992. Alexanders has six properties. Interstate Properties, which is further described above, owned an additional 27.5% of the outstanding common stock of Alexanders as of December 31, 2003. Mr. Roth, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado Realty Trust, is Chief Executive Officer and a director of Alexanders, and Mr. Fascitelli, President and a trustee of Vornado Realty Trust, is President and a director of Alexanders. Messrs. Mandelbaum, West and Wight, trustees of the Company, are also directors of Alexanders. Alexanders common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ALX.
At December 31, 2003, the Company had loans receivable from Alexanders of $124,000,000 at an interest rate of 12.48%, including $29,000,000 drawn under a $50,000,000 line of credit. The maturity date of the loans is the earlier of January 3, 2006 or the date that Alexanders Lexington Avenue construction loan is repaid fully. The Operating Partnership manages, develops and leases the Alexanders properties under management and development agreements and leasing agreements under which the Operating Partnership receives annual fees from Alexanders. These agreements have a one-year term expiring in March of each year, except that the Lexington Avenue management and development agreements have a term lasting until substantial completion of development of the Lexington Avenue property, and are all automatically renewable. Because the Company and Alexanders share common senior management and because a majority of the trustees of Vornado Realty Trust also constitute the majority of the directors of Alexanders, the terms of the foregoing agreements and any future agreements between us and Alexanders may not be comparable to those we could have negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
For a description of Interstate Properties ownership of Vornado Realty Trust, Vornado Operating and Alexanders, see Steven Roth and Interstate Properties may exercise substantial influence over the Company. They and some of the Companys other trustees and officers have interests or positions in other entities that may compete with the Company above.
The Number of Shares of the Company and the Market for Those Shares Give Rise to Various Risks.
Vornado Realty Trust has many shares available for future sale, which could hurt the market price of its shares.
As of February 16, 2004, we had authorized but unissued, 81,752,000 common shares of beneficial interest, $.04 par value, and 60,039,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, no par value. We may issue these additional shares from time to time in public or private offerings or in connection with acquisitions.
In addition, as of February 16, 2004, 26,430,943 Vornado Realty Trust common shares were reserved for issuance upon redemption of Operating Partnership units. Some of these shares may be sold in the public market after registration under the Securities Act under registration rights agreements between the Company and some holders of units of the Operating Partnership. These shares may also be sold in the public market under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or other available exemptions from registration. In addition, Vornado Realty Trust has reserved a number of common shares for issuance under its employee benefit plans, and these common shares will be available for sale from time to time. Vornado Realty Trust has awarded shares of restricted stock and granted options to purchase additional common shares to some of its executive officers and employees.
We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common shares, preferred shares or Operating Partnership Units, or the perception that sales of common shares, preferred or Operating Partnership Units could occur, will have on the market prices for Vornado Realty Trusts shares.
26
Changes in market conditions could hurt the market price of Vornado Realty Trusts shares.
The value of the Vornado Realty Trusts shares depends on various market conditions, which may change from time to time. Among the market conditions that may affect the value of the Vornado Realty Trusts shares are the following: the extent of institutional investor interest in the Company; the reputation of REITs generally and the attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, and fixed income securities; our financial condition and performance; and general financial market conditions.
The stock market in recent years has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies.
Increased market interest rates may hurt the value of Vornado Realty Trusts shares.
We believe that investors consider the distribution rate on REIT shares, expressed as a percentage of the price of the shares, relative to market interest rates as an important factor in deciding whether to buy or sell the shares. If market interest rates go up, prospective purchasers of REIT shares may expect a higher distribution rate. Higher interest rates would likely increase our borrowing costs and might decrease funds available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of Vornado Realty Trusts shares to decline.

The Companys New York City Office property lease terms generally range from five to seven years for smaller tenant spaces to as long as 15 years for major tenants, and may include extension options at market rates. Leases typically provide for step-ups in rent periodically over the term of the lease and pass through to tenants the tenants share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses over a base year. Electricity is provided to tenants on a sub-metered basis or included in rent based on surveys and adjusted for subsequent utility rate increases. Leases also typically provide for tenant improvement allowances for all or a portion of the tenants initial construction costs of its premises.
28
No tenant in the New York City office segment accounted for more than 10% of the Companys 2003 total revenue. Below is a listing of tenants that accounted for 2% or more of the New York City Office Properties revenues in 2003:

The Company owns 60 retail properties, of which 48 are strip shopping centers primarily located in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states; five are regional malls located in New York, New Jersey and San Juan, Puerto Rico; and seven are retail properties located in Manhattan. The Companys strip shopping centers and malls are generally located on major regional highways in mature, densely populated areas. The Company believes these properties attract consumers from a regional, rather than a neighborhood market place because of their location on regional highways.
The Companys strip shopping centers contain an aggregate of 8.8 million square feet and are substantially (over 80%) leased to large stores (over 20,000 square feet). Tenants include destination retailers such as discount department stores, supermarkets, home improvement stores, discount apparel stores, membership warehouse clubs and category killers. Category killers are large stores that offer a complete selection of a category of items (e.g., toys, office supplies, etc.) at low prices, often in a warehouse format. Tenants typically offer basic consumer necessities such as food, health and beauty aids, moderately priced clothing, building materials and home improvement supplies, and compete primarily on the basis of price and location.
The Companys five regional malls are as follows:
The Green Acres Mall in Long Island, New York contains 1.6 million square feet, and is anchored by four major department stores: Sears, Roebuck and Co., J.C. Penney Company, Inc., Federated Department Stores, Inc. (Federated) doing business as Macys, and Federated doing business as Sterns, that is currently dark. In February 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Federated to take back 63,000 square feet of the former Sterns store. The remainder of the Sterns space will be operated as a Macys Mens Store and a Macys Home Store. Federated will continue to pay the same rent (exclusive of real estate taxes for the space taken back by the Company). The complex also includes The Plaza at Green Acres, a 172,000 square foot strip shopping center which is anchored by Wal-Mart and National Wholesale Liquidators. The Company plans to renovate the interior of the mall. In addition, the Company will construct 70,000 square feet of free-standing retail space and parking decks in the complex, subject to governmental approvals. Further, the Company has entered into a ground lease with B.J.s Wholesale Club who will construct its own free-standing store in the complex. The expansion and renovation are expected to be completed by 2006.
The Monmouth Mall, located in Eatontown, New Jersey was acquired on October 10, 2002, by a joint venture in which the Company has a 50% interest. The mall contains 1.5 million square feet and is anchored by four department store tenants (Macys, Lord & Taylor, J.C. Penneys and Boscovs), three of which own their stores aggregating 719,000 square feet.
The Bergen Mall in Paramus, New Jersey, contains 903,000 square feet and is anchored by Macys, Value City, Marshalls and Off Saks Fifth Avenue. The Bergen Mall was acquired on December 12, 2003, for approximately $145,000,000.
The Montehiedra Mall in San Juan, Puerto Rico, contains 554,000 square feet and is anchored by Home Depot, Kmart, and Marshalls.
The Las Catalinas Mall in San Juan, Puerto Rico, contains 493,000 square feet and is anchored by Kmart and Sears, which owns its store.

The Companys shopping center lease terms range from five years or less in some instances for smaller tenant spaces to as long as 25 years for major tenants. Leases generally provide for additional rents based on a percentage of tenants sales and pass through to tenants of the tenants share of all common area charges (including roof and structure in strip shopping centers, unless it is the tenants direct responsibility), real estate taxes and insurance costs and certain capital expenditures. Percentage rent accounted for less than 1% of total shopping center revenues in 2003. None of the tenants in the Retail Segment accounted for more than 10% of the Companys 2003 total revenues.
Below is a listing of tenants which accounted for 2% or more of the Retail properties revenues in 2003:

Former Bradlees locations:
Property rentals for the year ended December 31, 2003, include $5,000,000 of additional rent which, effective December 31, 2002, was re-allocated to the former Bradlees locations in Marlton, Turnersville, Bensalem and Broomall and is payable by Stop & Shop, pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, dated May 1, 1992. This amount is in addition to all other rent guaranteed by Stop & Shop for the former Bradlees locations. On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court claiming the Company has no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. The Company believes the additional rent provision of the guaranty expires at the earliest in 2012 and is vigorously contesting Stop & Shops position.
In February 2003, Koninklijke Ahold NV, parent of Stop & Shop, announced that it overstated its 2002 and 2001 earnings by at least $500 million and is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cannot predict what effect, if any, this situation may have on Stop & Shops ability to satisfy its obligation under the Bradlees guarantees and rent for existing Stop & Shop leases aggregating approximately $10.5 million per annum.
The following table sets forth the lease expirations for the Retail Properties as of December 31, 2003 for each of the next 10 years assuming that none of the tenants exercise their renewal options.

The Company has a 60% interest in Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership (the Landlord) that owns 87 temperature controlled warehouses, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (AmeriCold Realty Trust), with an aggregate of approximately 440.7 million cubic feet. AmeriCold Logistics leases all of the partnerships facilities. The Temperature Controlled Logistics segment is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
AmeriCold Logistics provides the food industry with refrigerated warehousing and transportation management services. Refrigerated warehouses are comprised of production, distribution and public facilities. Production facilities typically serve one or a small number of customers, generally food processors that are located nearby. These customers store large quantities of processed or partially processed products in the facilities until they are shipped to the next stage of production or distribution. Distribution facilities primarily warehouse a wide variety of customers finished products until future shipment to end-users. Each distribution facility generally services the surrounding regional market. Public facilities generally serve the needs of local and regional customers under short-term agreements. Food manufacturers and processors use these facilities to store capacity overflow from their production facilities or warehouses. AmeriCold Logistics transportation management services include freight routing, dispatching, freight rate negotiation, backhaul coordination, freight bill auditing, network flow management, order consolidation and distribution channel assessment. AmeriCold Logistics temperature controlled logistics expertise and access to both frozen food warehouses and distribution channels enable its customers to respond quickly and efficiently to time-sensitive orders from distributors and retailers.
AmeriCold Logistics customers consist primarily of national, regional and local frozen food manufacturers, distributors, retailers and food service organizations. Below is a listing of customers which accounted for 2% or more of AmeriCold Logistics revenue in 2003:

On February 5, 2004, AmeriCold Realty Trust completed a $254,400,000 mortgage financing for 21 of its owned and 7 of its leased temperature-controlled warehouses. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.95% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5% with respect to $54,400,000 of the loan) and requires principal payments of $5,000,000 annually. The loan matures in April 2009 and is pre-payable without penalty after February 5, 2006. The net proceeds were approximately $225,000,000 after providing for usual escrows, closing costs and the repayment of $12,900,000 of existing mortgages on two of the warehouses, of which $135,000,000 was distributed to the Company and the remainder was distributed to its partner.
On February 23, 2004, AmeriCold Logistics announced that Alec Covington resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer effective March 31, 2004, to take an opportunity in an unrelated industry. A search to identify a successor is currently underway.

The development at Lexington Avenue consists of an approximately 1.3 million square foot multi-use building. The building will contain approximately 885,000 net rentable square feet of office space, approximately 171,000 net rentable square feet of retail space and approximately 248,000 net saleable square feet of residential space consisting of condominium units (through a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS)). Of the construction budget of $630,000,000 (which excludes $29,000,000 for development and guarantee fees to the Company), $402,000,000 has been expended through December 31, 2003 and an additional $62,200,000 has been committed to at December 31, 2003. Construction is expected to be completed in 2005.
Bloomberg L.P. has leased 695,000 square feet of the office space (the Bloomberg Space). On November 15, 2003 Alexanders delivered approximately 87% of that space. As of February 9, 2004, the remainder of the Bloomberg space has been delivered. At December 31, 2003, 115,000 square feet of retail space has been leased, of which the Home Depot and Hennes & Mauritz have leased 83,000 and 27,000 square feet, respectively. The residential space is comprised of 105 condominium units. The offering plan filed for these units, as amended for price increases through December 31, 2003, would produce (inclusive of the value of existing contracts) an aggregate sale price of $457,000,000. As of December 31, 2003, Alexanders has received deposits of $10,425,000 on sales of the condominium units.

On February 13, 2004, Alexanders completed a $400,000,000 mortgage financing on the Office Space of its Lexington Avenue development project placed by German American Capital Corporation, an affiliate of Deutsche Bank. The loan bears interest at 5.33%, matures in February 2014 and beginning in the third year, provides for principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule such that over the remaining eight years of the loan, ten years of amortization will be paid. Of the loan proceeds, $253,529,000 was used to repay the entire amount outstanding under the Construction Loan with HVB Real Estate Capital (Hypo). The Construction Loan was modified so that the remaining availability is $237,000,000, which is approximately the amount estimated to complete the Lexington Avenue development project. The interest rate on the Construction Loan is LIBOR plus 2.5% (currently 3.64%) and matures in January 2006, with two one-year extensions. The collateral for the Construction Loan is the same, except that the Office Space has been removed from the lien. Further, the Construction Loan permits the release of the retail space for $15,000,000 and requires all proceeds from the sale of the residential condominiums units to be applied to the Construction Loan balance until it is finally repaid. In connection with reducing the principal amount of the Construction loan Alexanders will write-off $3,050,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs in the first quarter of 2004, of which the Companys share is $1,010,000.
The Company has agreed to guarantee to the construction lender, the lien free, timely completion of the construction of the project and funding of project costs in excess of a stated loan budget, if not funded by Alexanders (the Completion Guarantee). The $6,300,000 estimated fee payable by Alexanders to the Company for the Completion Guarantee is 1% of construction costs (as defined). Based upon the current status of construction, Management does not anticipate the need to fund pursuant to the Completion Guarantee.

In 1998, the Company and affiliates of Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund III, L.P. (Apollo) formed a joint venture (30% owned by the Company and 70% owned by Apollo) (Newkirk JV) to acquire general and limited partnership interests in a portfolio of 104 partnerships, which own triple net leased properties. Since its formation, Newkirk JV has acquired equity interests in the above partnerships, which own approximately 19.6 million square feet of real estate and acquired certain first and second mortgages (Contract Rights) secured by a portion of these properties. On January 1, 2002, Newkirk JV completed a merger of 91 of the partnerships as well as the other assets it owned relating to the other 13 partnerships into The Newkirk Master Limited Partnership (MLP). The partnerships were merged into MLP to create a vehicle to enable the partners to have greater access to capital and future investment opportunities. In connection with the merger, the Company received limited partner interests in the MLP equal to an approximate 21.1% interest and Apollo received limited partner interests in the MLP equal to an approximate 54.5% interest. At December 31, 2003, the Company has a 22.6% interest in the MLP and Apollo has a 54.1% interest. Newkirk JV is the general partner of the MLP.
Simultaneously with the merger on January 1, 2002, the MLP completed a $225,000,000 secured financing collateralized by its interests in the entities that own the properties, subject to the existing first and certain second mortgages on those properties. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 5.5% with a LIBOR floor of 3% (8.5% at December 31, 2003) and matures on January 31, 2005, with two one-year extension options. As a result of the financing, on February 6, 2002 the MLP repaid approximately $28,200,000 of existing joint venture debt and distributed approximately $37,000,000 to the Company.
On November 24, 2003, Newkirk JV and the MLP obtained new financing in the amount of $525,000,000. Of this amount $316,527,000 is secured by the Contract Rights and guaranteed by the MLP and $208,473,000 is secured by the assets of the MLP. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus 4.5% or (ii) Prime plus 2.5%. The loan matures on November 24, 2006 and has two one-year extensions. The proceeds of the loan were used primarily to repay the MLPs outstanding balance of the existing $225,000,000 credit facility and to distribute funds to its partners, of which the Companys share was $74,106,000.
The Companys share of the MLP and the joint venture debt was approximately $266,024,000 at December 31, 2003.

(1) Excludes East Brunswick warehouse currently under development.
In November 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to ground lease its East Brunswick industrial property to Lowes. The Company will demolish the existing warehouse containing 326,000 square feet and Lowes will construct its own retail store. This lease is expected to commence in approximately 12 to 18 months.
400 North LaSalle
The 400 North LaSalle venture was formed in July 2001, to develop a 381,000 square foot, high-rise residential tower with an attached parking garage in Chicago Illinois, containing 452 apartments. Under the agreement the Company contributed 92% of the equity and is entitled to receive 85% of the profits. The development of the residential tower and garage was substantially completed and phased into service as of January 2004. As of December 31, 2003, the tower is 22.5% occupied.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters, including in respect of the matter referred to below, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operation.
On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (USDC-NJ) claiming the Company has no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, terminated the Companys right to reallocate. On March 3, 2003, after the Company moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint.
On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. On April 9, 2003, the Company moved the New York Supreme Court action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 30, 2003, the District Court ordered that the case be placed in suspension and ordered the parties to proceed in a related case that the Company commenced in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On July 24, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court referred the related case to mediation. The Company believes that the additional rent provision of the guaranty expires at the earliest in 2012 and will vigorously oppose Stop & Shops complaint.

(1) Funds From Operations (FFO) does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs which is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable periods. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Companys operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management considers FFO a relevant supplemental measure of operating performance because it provides a basis for comparison among REITs. FFO is computed in accordance with NAREITs definition, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with NAREITs definition.
(2) Operating results for the year ended December 31, 2002, reflect the Companys January 1, 2002 acquisition of the remaining 66% of Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty L.P. (CESCR) and the resulting consolidation of CESCRs operations.

(1) From inception on July 25, 1995
The Company intends to continue to achieve its business objective by pursuing its investment philosophy and executing its operating strategies through:
Maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City and Washington, D.C., where we believe there is high likelihood of capital appreciation.
Acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents.
Investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area.
Developing/redeveloping the Companys existing properties to increase returns and maximize value.
The Company competes with a large number of real estate property owners and developers. Principal factors of competition are rent charged, attractiveness of location and quality and breadth of services provided. The Companys success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends. The current economic recovery is fostered, in part, by low interest rates, Federal tax cuts, and increases in government spending. To the extent this recovery stalls, the Company may experience lower occupancy rates which may lead to lower initial rental rates, higher leasing costs and a corresponding decrease in net income, funds from operations and cash flow. Alternatively, if the recovery continues, the Company may experience higher occupancy rates leading to higher initial rents and higher interest rates causing an increase in the Companys weighted average cost of capital and a corresponding effect on net income, funds from operations and cash flow.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of the Companys accounting policies included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Real Estate
Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. As of December 31, 2003, the Companys carrying amount of its real estate, net of accumulated depreciation is $6.9 billion. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation requires an estimate by management of the useful life of each property and improvement as well as an allocation of the costs associated with a property to its various components. If the Company does not allocate these costs appropriately or incorrectly estimates the useful lives of its real estate, depreciation expense may be misstated.
Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings, tenant improvements and beginning in 2002, identified intangibles such as acquired above and below market leases and the value of acquired in-place leases in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 and 142) and acquired liabilities, and allocates purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. The Companys properties are reviewed for impairment if events or circumstances change indicating that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the Company incorrectly estimates the values at acquisition or the undiscounted cash flows, initial allocations of purchase price and future impairment charges may be different. The impact of the Companys estimates in connection with acquisitions and future impairment analysis could be material to the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Identified Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Upon an acquisition of a business the Company records intangible assets acquired at their estimated fair value separate and apart from goodwill. The Company amortizes identified intangible assets that are determined to have finite lives which are based on the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the business acquired. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value.
The excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss for an asset group is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, unless the fair value of specific components of the reporting group are determinable without undue cost and effort.
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying amounts of the Companys identified intangible assets are $106,281,000 and $50,487,000 and the carrying amount of goodwill is $4,345,000 (arising from the 2003 acquisition of Building Maintenance Services) and $0, respectively. Such amounts are included in other assets on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company has $47,266,000 and $48,430,000, of deferred credits as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, which are included as liabilities on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. If the Company incorrectly estimates the fair value of these assets at acquisition or in connection with impairment testing, or incorrectly estimates the useful lives of finite-life intangible assets, the impact to the Companys consolidated financial statements could be material.
69
Notes and Mortgage Loans Receivable
The Companys policy is to record mortgages and notes receivable at the stated principal amount net of any discount or premiums. As of December 31, 2003, the carrying amount of Notes and Mortgage Loans receivable was $285,965,000. The Company accretes or amortizes any discounts or premiums over the life of the related loan receivable utilizing the effective interest method. The Company evaluates the collectibility of both interest and principal of each of its loans, if circumstances warrant, to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired, when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the loss accrual is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loans effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, to the value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Interest on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis.
Partially-Owned Entities
As of December 31, 2003, the carrying amount of investments and advances to partially-owned entities, including Alexanders, was $900,600,000. The Company considers APB 18 The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, SOP 78-9 Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, EITF 96-16 Investors Accounting for an Investee When the Investor has the Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Partners have Certain Approval or Veto Rights, to determine the method of accounting for each of its partially-owned entities. In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a partially-owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, it considers factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members. The Company has concluded that it does not control a partially-owned entity, despite an ownership interest of 50% or greater, if the approval of all of the partners/members is contractually required with respect to major decisions, such as operating and capital budgets, the sale, exchange or other disposition of real property, the hiring of a chief executive officer, the commencement, compromise or settlement of any lawsuit, legal proceeding or arbitration or the placement of new or additional financing secured by assets of the venture. This is the case with respect to the Companys 60% interest in Temperature Controlled Logistics, 80% interest in Starwood Ceruzzi Venture, and 50% interests in Monmouth Mall, MartParc Wells, MartParc Orleans, and 825 Seventh Avenue.
If the Company is able to unilaterally make decisions for a partially-owned entity, the Company has concluded that it controls the entity and therefore consolidates the entity. The Company accounts for investments on the equity method when its ownership interest is greater than 20% and less than 50%, and the Company does not have direct or indirect control. When partially-owned entities are in partnership form, the 20% threshold may be reduced. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Companys share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions to and from these entities. All other investments are accounted for on the cost method.
On a periodic basis the Company evaluates whether there are any indicators that the value of the Companys investments in partially-owned entities are impaired. The ultimate realization of the Companys investment in partially-owned entities is dependent on a number of factors including the performance of the investee and market conditions. If the Company determines that a decline in the value of the investee is other than temporary, an impairment charge would be recorded.
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts
The Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts ($15,246,000 as at December 31, 2003) for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under the lease agreement. The Company also maintains an allowance for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents ($2,830,000 as at December 31, 2003). This receivable arises from earnings recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease agreements. Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates. If estimates differ from actual results, this would impact reported results.
70
Revenue Recognition
The Company has the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies:
Base Rents income arising from tenant leases. These rents are recognized over the non-cancelable term of the related leases on a straight-line basis which includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases.
Percentage Rents income arising from retail tenant leases which are contingent upon the sales of the tenant exceeding a defined threshold. These rents are recognized in accordance with SAB 104, which states that this income is to be recognized only after the contingency has been removed (i.e. sales thresholds have been achieved).
Hotel Revenues income arising from the operation of the Hotel Pennsylvania which consists of rooms revenue, food and beverage revenue, and banquet revenue. Income is recognized when rooms are occupied. Food and beverage and banquet revenue are recognized when the services have been rendered.
Trade Show Revenues income arising from the operation of trade shows, including rentals of booths. This revenue is recognized in accordance with the booth rental contracts when the trade shows have occurred.
Expense Reimbursements revenue arising from tenant leases which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the respective property. This revenue is accrued in the same periods as the expenses are incurred.
Before the Company recognizes revenue, it assesses among other things, its collectibility. If the Company incorrectly determines the collectibility of its revenue, its net income and assets could be misstated.
IncomeTaxes
The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to continue to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. The Company intends to distribute to its shareholders 100% of its taxable income. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. If the Company fails to distribute the required amount of income to its shareholders, it would fail to qualify as a REIT and substantial adverse tax consequences may result.

Net income and EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.
Below is a summary of Net income and EBITDA(1) by segment for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. On January 1, 2003, the Company revised its definition of EBITDA to comply with the Securities and Exchange Commissions Regulation G concerning non-GAAP financial measures. The revised definition of EBITDA includes minority interest, gains (losses) on the sale of depreciable real estate and income arising from the straight-lining of rent and the amortization of acquired in-place leases. Accordingly, EBITDA for all periods disclosed represents Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Management considers EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of its segments as it is related to the return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, management utilizes this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of its assets to that of its peers. EBITDA is not a surrogate for net income because net income is after interest expense and accordingly, is a measure of return on equity as opposed to return on assets.

Notes to preceding tabular information:
(1) Average occupancy and REVPAR for the Hotel Pennsylvania were 64% and $58 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to 65% and $58 for the prior year.
(2) Reflects an increase of $2,841 resulting from the rescheduling of two trade shows from the fourth quarter of 2002, in which they were previously held to the first quarter of 2003, and $1,400 relates to a new show held for the first time in 2003, partially offset by lower trade show revenue in 2003 primarily due to a smaller April Market show as a result of a conversion of trade show space to permanent space.
(3) Reflects increases of $12,953 from New York City Office leasing activity and $2,901 from CESCRs leasing activity. These increases resulted primarily from higher rents for space relet in 2003 and 2002 (full year impact in 2003 as compared to a partial year in 2002) and an increase in CESCR occupancy of .3% this year, partially offset by a decrease in NYC office occupancy of .6%. Initial rent for the 677 square feet of space relet in New York City was $44.41 per square foot in 2003, a 15.3% increase over prior escalated rent. Initial rent for the 2,510 square feet of space relet in CESCR portfolio was $30.62 per square foot a 2.5% increase over prior escalated rents. For further details of NYC and CESCR office leasing activity see page 67.
(4) Resulted primarily from (i) an increase in the occupancy rate from 88.3% at December 31, 2002 to 93.0% at December 31, 2003 as a result of leasing space previously vacated by Bradlees and Kmart and (ii) higher rents for space relet in 2003 and 2002 (full year impact in 2003 as compared to a partial year in 2002). Initial rent for the 1,046 square feet of space relet in 2003 was $15.56 per square foot, a 13.2% increase over prior rent. For further details of Retail leasing activity see page 67.
(5) Reflects an increase in occupancy of Merchandise Mart office space of 0.9% from 2002, higher rents for 1,157 square feet of showroom space relet in 2003 and 911 square feet relet in 2002 (full year impact in 2003 as compared to partial year impact in 2002), partially offset by a decrease in Merchandise Mart showroom occupancy of .1% from 2002 and lower rents for 270 square feet of office space relet in 2003. Initial rents for the 1,157 square feet of showroom space relet in 2003 was $23.43, a 0.6% increase over prior escalated rent. Initial rents for the 270 square feet of office space relet in 2003 was $21.24, a 5.3% decrease over prior escalated rent. For further details of Merchandise Mart leasing activity see page 67.
(6) Reflects higher reimbursements from tenants resulting primarily from increases in real estate taxes. The increases in Office and Retail were $19,383 and $3,247, before reductions of $2,215 and $1,407 in the current quarter relating to the true-up of prior years billings.
(7) Results primarily from a $3,444 decrease in CESCR third party leasing revenue from $7,100 in 2002 to $3,656 in 2003 as a result of the closing of one of the CESCR leasing offices.
77
The Companys expenses were $921,097,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $852,370,000 in the prior year, an increase of $68,727,000. Below are the details of the increase (decrease) by segment:

(a) Relates primarily to an increase in New York Office.
(4) Increases in depreciation and amortization for the Office and Merchandise Mart segments are primarily due to additions to buildings and improvements.

As part of the 2002 annual compensation review, in lieu of stock options, on January 28, 2003 the Company granted 166,990 restricted shares at $34.50 per share (the then closing stock price on the NYSE) to employees of the Company. These awards vest over a 5-year period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. In the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,898,000 (excluding severance charges), of which $1,020,000 related to January 2003 restricted stock awards.

Income Applicable to Alexanders
Income applicable to Alexanders (interest income, management, leasing, development and commitment fees, and equity in income) was $15,574,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $29,653,000 in the prior year, a decrease of $14,079,000. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) Alexanders stock appreciation rights compensation expense of which the Companys share was $14,868,000 in 2003 compared to zero in 2002, partially offset by (ii) Alexanders gain on the sale of its Third Avenue property of which the Companys share was $3,524,000 in 2002, and (iii) income resulting from the commencement of the lease with Bloomberg (87% of the space) on November 15, 2003 at Alexanders 731 Lexington Avenue property of which the Companys share was $1,589,000.

Notes to preceding information:
(1) The increase reflects the Companys share of the following items from the Newkirk MLP in 2003 including (i) $7,200 of net gains on the sale of 11 properties, (ii) a gain of $1,600 on the early extinguishment of debt, partially offset by, (iii) a charge of $538 in connection with a litigation claim, (iv) a charge of $353 for an asset impairment and (v) $930 in Federal and state taxes.
(2) The Company reflects its 60% share of Vornado Crescent Portland Partnerships (the Landlord) rental income it receives from AmeriCold Logistics, its tenant, which leases the underlying temperature controlled warehouses used in its business. The Companys joint venture does not recognize rental income unless earned and collection is assured or cash is received. The Company did not recognize $25,087 of rent it was due for the year ended December 31, 2003, which together with previously deferred rent is $49,436. The following summarizes the increase in income for the year ended December 31, 2003 over the prior year:

On February 23, 2004, AmeriCold Logistics announced that Alec Covington resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer effective March 31, 2004, to take an opportunity in an unrelated industry. A search to identify a successor is currently underway.
(3) The Company acquired a 50% interest in the Monmouth Mall on October 10, 2002. Equity in net income of the Monmouth Mall includes the Companys preferred return of $3,290 and $748 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.
(4) On September 23, 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the Mall and 25% of the Kmart anchor store it did not previously own. Accordingly, the operations of Las Catalinas are consolidated into the accounts of the Company subsequent to September 23, 2002.

Interest and Other Investment Income
Interest and other investment income (interest income on mortgage loans receivable, other interest income and dividend income) was $25,402,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $31,685,000 in the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $6,283,000. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) lower average investments at lower yields, partially offset by (ii) $5,655,000 of contingent interest income recognized in connection with the repayment of the Dearborn Center loan and (iii) $5,028,000 of interest income recognized on the $225,000,000 GM Building mezzanine loans, for the period from October 20, 2003 through December 31, 2003.
Interest and debt expense was $229,662,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $234,113,000 in the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $4,451,000. This decrease was primarily comprised of a $11,285,000 savings from a 77 basis point reduction in weighted average interest rates of the Companys variable rate debt, partially offset by (i) the consolidation as of September 2002 of the Las Catalinas operations which were previously included in income from partially-owned entities, (ii) a full year of interest expense on the Companys $500,000,000 Senior Unsecured Notes due 2007 which were issued in June 2002 and (iii) a reduction in interest capitalized in connection with development projects.
The following table sets forth the details of net (loss) gain on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002:

Primestone Foreclosure and Impairment Losses
On September 28, 2000, the Company made a $62,000,000 loan to Primestone Investment Partners, L.P. (Primestone). The Company received a 1% up-front fee and was entitled to receive certain other fees aggregating approximately 3% upon repayment of the loan. The loan bore interest at 16% per annum. Primestone defaulted on the repayment of this loan on October 25, 2001. The loan was subordinate to $37,957,000 of other debt of the borrower that liened the Companys collateral. On October 31, 2001, the Company purchased the other debt for its face amount. The loans were secured by 7,944,893 partnership units in Prime Group Realty, L.P., the operating partnership of Prime Group Realty Trust (NYSE:PGE) and the partnership units are exchangeable for the same number of common shares of PGE. The loans were also guaranteed by affiliates of Primestone.
On November 19, 2001, the Company sold, pursuant to a participation agreement with a subsidiary of Cadim inc., a Canadian pension fund, a 50% participation in both loans at par for approximately $50,000,000 reducing the Companys net investment in the loans at December 31, 2001 to $56,768,000 including unpaid interest and fees of $6,790,000. The participation did not meet the criteria for sale accounting under SFAS 140 because Cadim was not free to pledge or exchange the assets. Accordingly, the Company was required to account for this transaction as a borrowing secured by the loan, rather than as a sale of the loan by classifying the participation as an Other Liability and continuing to report the outstanding loan balance at 100% in Notes and Mortgage Loans Receivable on the balance sheet.
82
On April 30, 2002, the Company and Cadim acquired the 7,944,893 partnership units at a foreclosure auction. The price paid for the units by application of a portion of Primestones indebtedness to the Company and Cadim was $8.35 per unit, the April 30, 2002 closing price of shares of PGE on the New York Stock Exchange. On June 28, 2002, pursuant to the terms of the participation agreement, the Company transferred 3,972,447 of the partnership units to Cadim.
In the second quarter of 2002, in accordance with foreclosure accounting, the Company recorded a loss on the Primestone foreclosure of $17,671,000 calculated based on (i) the acquisition price of the units and (ii) its valuation of the amounts realizable under the guarantees by affiliates of Primestone, as compared with the net carrying amount of the investment at April 30, 2002. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $2,229,000 write-down on its investment based on costs expended to realize the value of the guarantees. Further, in the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $15,857,000 write-down of its investment in Prime Group consisting of (i) $14,857,000 to adjust the carrying amount of the Prime Group units to $4.61 per unit, the closing price of PGE shares on the New York Stock Exchange at December 31, 2002 and (ii) $1,000,000 for estimated costs to realize the value of the guarantees. The Company considered the decline in the value of the units which are convertible into stock to be other than temporary as of December 31, 2002, based on the fact that the market value of the stock had been less than its cost for more than six months, the severity of the decline, market trends, the financial condition and near-term prospects of Prime Group and other relevant factors.
At December 31, 2002, the Companys carrying amount of the investment was $23,908,000, of which $18,313,000 represents the carrying amount of the 3,972,447 partnership units owned by the Company ($4.61 per unit), $6,100,000 represents the amount expected to be realized under the guarantees, partially offset by $1,005,000 representing the Companys share of Prime Groups net loss through September 30, 2002, as the Company recorded its share of Prime Groups earnings on a one-quarter lag basis.
On June 11, 2003, the Company exercised its right to exchange the 3,972,447 units it owned in Prime Group Realty L.P. for 3,972,447 common shares in Prime Group Realty Trust. Prior to the exchange, the Company accounted for its investment in the partnership on the equity method. Subsequent to the exchange, the Company is accounting for its investment in PGE as a marketable equity security-available for sale, as the Companys shares represent less than a 20% ownership interest in PGE (which is not a partnership), the Company does not have significant influence and the common shares have a readily determinable fair value. Accordingly, the carrying amount previously included in Investments and Advances to Partially-Owned Entities was reclassified to Marketable Securities on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. The Company is also required to mark these securities to market based on the closing price of the PGE shares on the NYSE at the end of each reporting period. For the period from June 11, 2003 through December 31, 2003, the Company recorded a $6,623,000 unrealized gain, which is not included in the Companys net income, but is reflected as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Shareholders Equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. From the date of exchange, income recognition is limited to dividends received on the PGE shares.
On June 13, 2003, the Company received its $5,000,000 share of a settlement with affiliates of Primestone Investment Partners of the amounts due under the guarantees of the Primestone loans. In connection therewith, the Company recognized a $1,388,000 loss on settlement of the guarantees, which has been reflected as a component of net gains on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets in the Companys 2003 consolidated statement of income.
Gain on Transfer of Mortgages
In the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded a net gain of $2,096,000 resulting from payments to the Company by third parties that assumed certain of the Companys mortgages. Under these transactions the Company paid to the third parties that assumed the Companys obligations the outstanding amounts due under the mortgages and the third parties paid the Company for the benefit of assuming the mortgages. The Company has been released by the creditors underlying these loans.
83
Minority interest was $178,675,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $140,933,000 for the prior year, an increase of $37,742,000. The increase is primarily due to higher income in 2003, primarily as a result of of net gains on sale of real estate of $161,789,000, and an increase in preferred unit distributions of $2,187,000, representing the original issuance costs on the redemption of the Series D-1 preferred units.
Assets related to discontinued operations consist primarily of real estate, net of accumulated depreciation. The following table set forth the balances of the assets related to discontinued operations as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.

On February 2, 2004, the Palisades Venture in which the Company owns a 75% interest entered into an agreement to sell its only asset, a 538 unit high-rise residential apartment tower in Fort Lee, New Jersey, for $222,500,000. On February 27, 2004, in order to permit a potential like kind exchange, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest it did not previously own for its partners share of the net sales price (approximately $17,000,000). The Companys gain on sale after closing costs will be approximately $70,000,000. The sale, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2004.
On January 9, 2003, the Company sold its Baltimore, Maryland shopping center for $4,752,000, which resulted in a net gain after closing costs of $2,644,000.
On October 10, 2003, the Company sold Two Park Avenue, a 965,000 square foot office building, for $292,000,000 to SEB Immobelien-Investment GNBH, a German capital investment company, which resulted in a net gain on the sale after closing costs of $156,433,000.
On November 3, 2003, the Company sold its Hagerstown, Maryland shopping center for $3,100,000, which resulted in a net gain on sale after closing costs of $1,945,000.

In September 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (effective January 1, 2002). SFAS No. 142 specifies that goodwill and some intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead be subject to periodic impairment testing. In the first quarter of 2002, the Company wrote-off goodwill of approximately $30,129,000 of which (i) $15,490,000 represents its share of the goodwill arising from the Companys investment in Temperature Controlled Logistics and (ii) $14,639,000 represents goodwill arising from the Companys acquisition of the Hotel Pennsylvania. The write-off was reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the 2002 consolidated statement income.
Below are the details of the changes by segment in EBITDA.

(1) Represents operations which were owned for the same period in each year and excludes non-recurring income and expenses which are included in acquisitions, dispositions and non-same store income and expenses above.
(2) EBITDA and the same store percentage increase (decrease) were $488,419 ($331,886 excluding gains on sale of real estate of $156,533) and 3.3% (excluding such gains) for the New York office portfolio and $292,270 and (1.7%) for the CESCR portfolio. 36% of the same store decrease at CESCR reflects a reduction in third party net leasing fees.
(3) The Company reflects its 60% share of Vornado Crescent Portland Partnerships (the Landlord) rental income it receives from AmeriCold Logistics, its tenant, which leases the underlying temperature controlled warehouses used in its business. The Companys joint venture does not recognize rental income unless earned and collection is assured or cash is received. The Company did not recognize $25,087 of rent it was due for the year ended December 31, 2003, which together with previously deferred rent is $49,436. The tenant has advised the Landlord that (i) its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 from the warehouses it leases from the Landlord, is lower than last year by 1.3%, and (ii) its gross profit before rent at these warehouses for the corresponding period is higher than last year by $607 (a 0.4% increase). In addition, in 2003, the tenant and the Landlord had lower general and administrative expenses and the Landlord received $885 of EBITDA from its investment in the quarries it acquired in December 2002 which was reflected in the gross profit of the tenant in the prior year.

(1) On January 1, 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 66% of CESCR it did not previously own. Accordingly, CESCR is consolidated as of January 1, 2002.
(2) On September 20, 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the Mall and 25% of the Kmart anchor store that it did not previously own. Accordingly, Las Catalinas is consolidated for the period from September 20, 2002 to December 31, 2002.
(3) On October 10, 2002, a joint venture, in which the Company has a 50% interest, acquired the Monmouth Mall.
(4) Vornados interest in the equity in net income of the Monmouth Mall includes a preferred return of $748 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
(5) The year ended December 31, 2001 includes $1,394 for the Companys share of a gain on sale of a property.
(6) The year ended December 31, 2002 excludes 570 Lexington Avenue which was sold in May 2001.
(7) The year ended December 31, 2001 includes $2,000 for the Companys share of equity in loss of its Russian Tea Room (RTR) investment.

Interest and other investment income (interest income on mortgage loans receivable, other interest income and dividend income) was $31,685,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $54,385,000 in the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $22,700,000. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of (i) $12,347,000 due to the non-recognition of income on the mortgage loan to Primestone, which was foreclosed on April 30, 2002, (ii) $4,626,000 due to a lower yield on the investment of the proceeds received from the May 2002 repayment of the Companys loan to NorthStar Partnership L.P. (22% yield in 2001) and (iii) $2,269,000 due to the non-recognition of income on the loan to Vornado Operating.
Interest and debt expense was $234,113,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $167,430,000 in the year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $66,683,000. This increase was comprised of (i) $100,013,000 from the acquisition of the remaining 66% of CESCR and the resulting consolidation of its operations, partially offset by (ii) a $32,035,000 savings from a 202 basis point reduction in weighted average interest rates of the Companys variable rate debt and (iii) lower average outstanding debt balances.

Write-off Investments in Technology Companies
In 2001, the Company recorded a charge of $16,513,000 resulting from the write-off of all of its remaining equity investments in technology companies due to both the deterioration of the financial condition of these companies and the lack of acceptance by the market of certain of their products and services. The above charge is net of $1,481,000 of income resulting from the reversal of a deferred rent liability relating to the termination of an agreement permitting one of the technology companies access to its properties.
After-tax Net Gain on Sale of Park Laurel Condominium Units
In 2001, the Park Laurel Joint Venture (69% interest owned by the Company) completed the sale of 52 condominium units of the total 53 units and received proceeds of $139,548,000. The Companys share of the after tax net gain was $15,657,000 and is after a charge of $3,953,000 (net of tax benefit of $1,826,000) for awards accrued under the ventures incentive compensation plan.
Write-off of Net Investment in RTR
In the third quarter of 2001, the Company wrote-off its entire net investment of $7,374,000 in RTR based on the operating losses and an assessment of the value of the real estate.

Minority interest was $140,933,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $112,363,000 for the prior year, an increase of $28,570,000. This increase is primarily due to operating partnership units issued in connection with acquisitions.

On August 6, 2001, the Company sold its leasehold interest in 550/600 Mamaroneck Avenue for $22,500,000, which approximated book value.
In September 1998, Atlantic City condemned the Companys property. In the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a gain of $1,694,000, which reflected the condemnation award of $3,100,000, net of the carrying value of the property of $1,406,000. The Company appealed the amount and on June 27, 2001, was awarded an additional $3,050,000, which has been recorded as a gain in the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
On May 17, 2001, the Company sold its 50% interest in 570 Lexington Avenue for $60,000,000, resulting in a net gain after closing costs of $12,445,000.

This write-off was reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in 2002.

(1) Represents operations which were owned for the same period in each year and excludes non-recurring income and expenses.
(2) EBITDA and the same store percentage increase was $320,874 and 5.0% for the New York City office portfolio and $289,657 and 4.1% for the CESCR portfolio.
(3) Primarily due to lower occupancy and increases in allowances for bad debt expense as a result of the K-Mart and other bankruptcies and the expiration of the Stop & Shop guarantees of several former Bradlees locations. Average occupancy for the year ended December 31, 2002 was 88.3% (84.0% excluding leases which have not commenced as described in the following sentences) as compared to 92% at December 31, 2001. The 88.3% occupancy rate includes leases for 490,000 square feet at five locations which have not commenced as of December 31, 2002.
(4) Primarily due to the Companys share of losses from the Starwood Ceruzzi venture in 2002 of $1,416 (before depreciation) from properties placed in service, as compared to a gain of $1,394 from the sale of one of the ventures assets in 2001. EBITDA aggregating $2,600 from the acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2002 of a 50% interest in the Monmouth Mall and the remaining 50% interest in the Las Catalinas Mall the Company did not previously own, was offset by lease termination fees and other refunds in the fourth quarter of 2001.
(5) The net of a $1,685 or 1.5% same store increase in the core portfolio and a $3,300 or a 66% decline at the LA Mart as a result of rent reductions and increased marketing expenditures.
(6) The Company reflects its 60% share of Vornado Crescent Portland Partnerships (the Landlord) rental income it receives from AmeriCold Logistics, its tenant, which leases the underlying temperature controlled warehouses used in its business. The Companys joint venture does not recognize rental income unless earned and collection is assured or cash is received. The Company did not recognize its $19,349 share of the rent the joint venture was due for the year ended December 31, 2002. The tenant has advised the Landlord that (i) its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002 from the warehouses it leases from the Landlord, is lower than last year by .1%, and (ii) its gross profit before rent at these warehouses for the corresponding period decreased by $614 (a .001% decrease). The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to a reduction in customer inventory turns, a rate reduction with a significant customer and temporary plant shut-downs. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to higher insurance and workers compensation. In addition, the tenants cash requirements for capital expenditures, debt service and a non-recurring pension funding were $8,293 higher in the current year than in the prior year, which impacted the ability of the tenant to pay rent.
(7) Reflects net non-recurring items included in EBITDA (see page 75 footnote 3 for details)

Three Months Ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002
In comparing the financial results of the Companys segments on a quarterly basis, the following should be noted:
The third quarter of the Office and Merchandise Mart segments have historically been impacted by higher net utility costs than in each other quarter of the year;
The fourth quarter of the Retail segment have historically been higher than each of the first three quarters due to the recognition of percentage rental income in that quarter; and
The second and fourth quarter of the Merchandise Mart segment have historically been higher than the first and third quarters due to major trade shows occurring in those quarters.
Below is a summary of Net Income and EBITDA(1) by segment for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

At December 31, 2003, the loan due from Mr. Roth, in accordance with his employment arrangement, was $13,123,000 ($4,704,500 of which is shown as a reduction in shareholders equity). The loan bears interest at 4.49% per annum (based on the applicable Federal rate) and matures in January 2006. The Company also provided Mr. Roth with the right to draw up to $15,000,000 of additional loans on a revolving basis. Each additional loan will bear interest, payable quarterly, at the applicable Federal rate on the date the loan is made and will mature on the sixth anniversary of the loan. On May 29, 2002, Mr. Roth replaced common shares of the Company securing the Companys outstanding loan to Mr. Roth with options to purchase common shares of the Company with a value of not less than two times the loan amount. In 2002, as a result of the decline in the value of the options, Mr. Roth supplemented the collateral with cash and marketable securities.
At December 31, 2003, loans due from Mr. Fascitelli, in accordance with his employment agreement, aggregated $8,600,000. The loans mature in December 2006 and bear interest, payable quarterly at a weighted average interest rate of 3.97% (based on the applicable Federal rate).
Pursuant to Mr. Fascitellis 1996 employment agreement, Mr. Fascitelli became entitled to a deferred payment consisting of $5 million in cash and a convertible obligation payable November 30, 2001, at the Companys option, in either 919,540 common shares or the cash equivalent of their appreciated value, so long as such appreciated value is not less than $20 million. The Company delivered 919,540 shares to a rabbi trust upon execution of the 1996 employment agreement. The Company accounted for the stock compensation as a variable arrangement in accordance with Plan B of EITF No. 97-14 Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested as the agreement permitted settlement in either cash or common shares. Following the guidance in EITF 97-14, the Company recorded changes in the fair value of its compensation obligation with a corresponding increase in the liability Officers Deferred Compensation. Effective as of June 7, 2001, the payment date was deferred until November 30, 2004. Effective as of December 14, 2001, the payment to Mr. Fascitelli was converted into an obligation to deliver a fixed number of shares (919,540 shares), establishing a measurement date for the Companys stock compensation obligation, accordingly the Company ceased accounting for the Rabbi Trust under Plan B of the EITF and began Plan A accounting. Under Plan A, the accumulated liability representing the value of the shares on December 14, 2001, was reclassified as a component of Shareholders Equity as Deferred compensation shares earned but not yet delivered. In addition, effective December 14, 2001 future changes in the value of the shares are no longer recognized as additional compensation expense. The fair value of this obligation was $50,345,000 at December 31, 2003. The Company has reflected this liability as Deferred Compensation Shares Not Yet Delivered in the Shareholders Equity section of the balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recognized approximately $4,744,000 of compensation expense of which $2,612,000 represented the appreciation in value of the shares and $2,132,000 represented dividends paid on the shares.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company extended its employment agreement with Mr. Fascitelli for a five-year period through December 31, 2006. Pursuant to the extended employment agreement, Mr. Fascitelli is entitled to receive a deferred payment on December 31, 2006 of 626,566 Vornado common shares which are valued for compensation purposes at $27,500,000 (the value of the shares on March 8, 2002, the date the extended employment agreement was executed). The shares are held in a rabbi trust for the benefit of Mr. Fascitelli and vested 100% on December 31, 2002. The extended employment agreement does not permit diversification, allows settlement of the deferred compensation obligation by delivery of these shares only, and permits the deferred delivery of these shares. The value of these shares was amortized ratably over the one-year vesting period as compensation expense.
Pursuant to the Companys annual compensation review in February 2002 with Joseph Macnow, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, the Compensation Committee approved a $2,000,000 loan to Mr. Macnow, bearing interest at the applicable federal rate of 4.65% per annum and due January 1, 2006. The loan, which was funded on July 23, 2002, was made in conjunction with Mr. Macnows June 2002 exercise of options to purchase 225,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The loan is collateralized by assets with a value of not less than two times the loan amount. In 2002, as a result of the decline in the value of the options, Mr. Macnow supplemented the collateral with cash and marketable securities.
One other executive officer of the Company has a loan outstanding pursuant to an employment agreement totaling $500,000 at December 31, 2003. The loan matures in April 2005 and bears interest at the applicable Federal rate provided (4.5% at December 31, 2003).
96
Alexanders
The Company owns 33.1% of Alexanders. Mr. Roth and Mr. Fascitelli are Officers and Directors of Alexanders, the Company provides various services to Alexanders in accordance with management, development and leasing agreements and the Company has made loans to Alexanders aggregating $124,000,000 at December 31, 2003. These agreements and the loans are described in Note 5. Investments in Partially-Owned Entities to the Companys consolidated financial statements in this annual report on form 10-K.
In 2002, the Company constructed a $16.3 million community facility and low-income residential housing development (the 30th Street Venture), in order to receive 163,728 square feet of transferable development rights, generally referred to as air rights. The Company donated the building to a charitable organization. The Company sold 106,796 square feet of these air rights to third parties at an average price of $120 per square foot. An additional 28,821 square feet of air rights was sold to Alexanders at a price of $120 per square foot for use at Alexanders 59th Street development project (the 59th Street Project). In each case, the Company received cash in exchange for air rights. The Company identified third party buyers for the remaining 28,111 square feet of air rights related to the 30th Street Venture. These third party buyers wanted to use the air rights for the development of two projects located in the general area of 86th Street which was not within the required geographical radius of the construction site nor in the same Community Board as the low-income housing and community facility project. The 30th Street Venture asked Alexanders to sell 28,111 square feet of the air rights it already owned to the third party buyers (who could use them) and the 30th Street Venture would replace them with 28,111 square feet of air rights. In October 2002, the Company sold 28,111 square feet of air rights to Alexanders for an aggregate sales price of $3,058,000 (an average of $109 per square foot). Alexanders then sold an equal amount of air rights to the third party buyers for an aggregate sales price of $3,339,000 (an average of $119 per square foot).
Interstate Properties
The Company manages and leases the real estate assets of Interstate Properties pursuant to a management agreement for which the Company receives an annual fee equal to 4% of base rent and percentage rent and certain other commissions. The management agreement has a term of one year and is automatically renewable unless terminated by either of the parties on sixty days notice at the end of the term. Although the management agreement was not negotiated at arms length, the Company believes based upon comparable fees charged by other real estate companies that its terms are fair to the Company. The Company earned $703,000, $747,000 and $1,133,000 of management fees under the management agreement for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. In addition, during fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, as a result of a previously existing leasing arrangement with Alexanders, Alexanders paid to Interstate $587,000, $703,000 and $522,000, respectively, for the leasing and other services actually rendered by the Company. Upon receipt of these payments, Interstate promptly paid them over to the Company without retaining any interest therein. This arrangement was terminated in 2003 and all payments by Alexanders for these leasing and other services are made directly to the Company.
Building Maintenance Service Company (BMS)
On January 1, 2003, the Company acquired BMS, a company which provides cleaning and related services principally to the Companys Manhattan office properties for $13,000,000 in cash from the estate of Bernard Mendik and certain other individuals including David Greenbaum, one of the Companys executive officers. The Company paid BMS $53,024,000 and $51,280,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 for services rendered at the Companys Manhattan office properties. Although the terms and conditions of the contracts pursuant to which these services were provided were not negotiated at arms length, the Company believes based upon comparable amounts charged to other real estate companies that the terms and conditions of the contracts were fair to the Company.
97
Vornado Operating Company and AmeriCold Logistics
In October 1998, Vornado Operating was spun off from the Company in order to own assets that the Company could not itself own and conduct activities that the Company could not itself conduct. The Company granted Vornado Operating a $75,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility which expires on December 31, 2004. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 3%. The Company receives a commitment fee equal to 1% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the facility. No amortization is required to be paid under the revolving credit facility during its term.
The revolving credit facility prohibits Vornado Operating from incurring indebtedness to third parties (other than certain purchase money debt and certain other exceptions) and prohibits Vornado Operating from paying dividends. As of December 31, 2003, $21,989,000 was outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
Vornado Operating has disclosed that there is substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Vornado Operating has incurred losses since its inception and in the aggregate its investments do not, and for the foreseeable future are not expected to, generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of its debts and expenses. Vornado Operating estimates that it has adequate borrowing capacity under its credit facility with the Company to meet its cash needs until December 31, 2004. However, the principal, interest and fees outstanding under the line of credit come due on such date. Further, Vornado Operating states that its only investee, AmeriCold Logistics (Tenant), anticipates that its Landlord, a partnership 60% owned by the Company and 40% owned by Crescent Real Estate Equities, will need to restructure the leases between the Landlord and the Tenant to provide additional cash flow to the Tenant (the Landlord has previously restructured the leases to provide additional cash flow to the Tenant). Management anticipates a further lease restructuring in 2004, although it is under no obligation to do so and there can be no assurance that it will do so. Vornado Operating is expected to have a source to repay the debt under this facility from the lease restructuring or other options, although not by its original due date. Since January 1, 2002, the Company has not recognized interest income on the debt under this facility.
Other
On December 31, 2002, the Company and Crescent Real Estate Equities formed a joint venture to acquire the Carthage, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas quarries from AmeriCold Logistics, the Companys tenant at the cold storage warehouses (Temperature Controlled Logistics), for $20,000,000 in cash (appraised value). The Company contributed cash of $8,800,000 to the joint venture representing its 44% interest. AmeriCold Logistics used the proceeds from the sale to repay a portion of a loan to Vornado Operating. Vornado Operating then repaid $9,500,000 of the amount outstanding under the Companys revolving credit facility.
The Company owns preferred securities in Capital Trust, Inc. (Capital Trust) with a carrying amount of $29,259,000 at December 31, 2003. Mr. Roth, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado Realty Trust, is a member of the Board of Directors of Capital Trust nominated by the Company.
During 2002, the Company paid approximately $147,000 for legal services to a firm in which one of the Companys trustees is a member.
On August 4, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of 2101 L Street, a 370,000 square foot office building located in Washington D.C. The consideration for the acquisition consisted of approximately 1.1 million newly issued Operating Partnership units (valued at approximately $49,517,000) and the assumption of existing mortgage debt and transaction costs totaling approximately $32,000,000. Robert H. Smith and Robert P. Kogod, trustees of Vornado, together with family members owned approximately 24 percent of the limited partnership that sold the building and Mr. Smith was a general partner. On August 5, 2003, the Company repaid the mortgage of $29,056,000.
On October 7, 2003, the Company acquired a 2.5% interest in the planned redevelopment of Waterfront, located at 401 M Street, a mixed-use project in Washington D.C. for $2,171,000, of which the Company paid $1,545,000 in cash and issued 12,500 Vornado Realty L.P. partnership units valued at $626,000. The partnership units were issued to Mitchell N. Schear, one of the partners in the Waterfront interest, and the President of the Companys CESCR division.
In connection with the Park Laurel condominium project, in 2001 the joint venture accrued and paid $5,779,000 of awards under the ventures incentive compensation plan.
98
The Company anticipates that cash from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund its business operations, dividends to shareholders and distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership and recurring capital expenditures, and together with existing cash balances will be greater than its anticipated cash requirements including development and redevelopment expenditures and debt amortization. Capital requirements for significant acquisitions may require funding from borrowings or equity offerings.
For 2004 the Company has budgeted approximately $194.2 million for capital expenditures excluding acquisitions as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2003, actual capital expenditures and leasing commissions were $131,972,000, as compared to a budget of $168,000,000.
In addition to the capital expenditures reflected above, the Company is currently engaged in certain development and redevelopment projects for which it has budgeted approximately $383.5 million. Of this amount $169.0 million is estimated to be expended in 2004. The $383.5 million does not include amounts for pre-development projects, as no budgets for them have been finalized. There can be no assurance that any of the above projects will be ultimately completed, completed on time or completed for the budgeted amount.
The Company is also committed to fund up to $32,420,000 in connection with its initial investment in two partially-owned entities.
No cash requirements have been budgeted for the capital expenditures of Alexanders, Newkirk MLP, or any other entity that is partially owned by the Company. These investees are expected to fund their own cash requirements.

As of March 1, 2004, the Company repaid $227,586,000 of the debt coming due during 2004. The Company has $600,000,000 available under its revolving credit facility which matures in July 2006 and a number of properties which are unencumbered.
The Companys credit facility contains customary conditions precedent to borrowing such as the bring down of customary representations and warranties as well as compliance with financial covenants such as minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization. The facility provides for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in the Companys ratings below Baa3/BBB. This facility also contains customary events of default that could give rise to acceleration and include such items as failure to pay interest or principal and breaches of financial covenants such as maintenance of minimum capitalization and minimum interest coverage.
The Company carries comprehensive liability and all risk property insurance ((i) fire, (ii) flood, (iii) extended coverage, (iv) acts of terrorism as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 which expires in 2004 with a possible extension through 2005 and (v) rental loss insurance) with respect to its assets.

(1) Limited as to terrorism insurance by the sub-limit shown in the adjacent column.
In addition to the coverage above, the Company carries lesser amounts of coverage for terrorist acts not covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002.
The Companys debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by its properties (which are generally non-recourse to the Company), its senior unsecured notes due 2007 and 2010 and its revolving credit agreement, contain customary covenants requiring the Company to maintain insurance. Although the Company believes that it has adequate insurance coverage under these agreements, the Company may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further if lenders insist on greater coverage than the Company is able to obtain, it could adversely affect the Companys ability to finance and/or refinance its properties and expand its portfolio.
In conjunction with the closing of Alexanders Lexington Avenue construction loan on July 3, 2002, the Company agreed to guarantee to the construction lender, the lien free, timely completion of the construction of the project and funding of all project costs in excess of a stated budget, as defined in the loan agreement, if not funded by Alexanders.
The Company has an effective shelf registration under which the Company can offer an aggregate of approximately $822,990,000 of equity securities and Vornado Realty L.P. can offer an aggregate of $1,800,262,000 of debt securities.

Cash and cash equivalents were $320,542,000 at December 31, 2003, as compared to $208,200,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $112,342,000.

Capital expenditures are categorized as follows:
Recurring capital improvements expended to maintain a propertys competitive position within the market and tenant improvements and leasing commissions for costs to re-lease expiring leases or renew or extend existing leases.
Non-recurring capital improvements completed in the year of acquisition and the following two years which were planned at the time of acquisition and tenant improvements and leasing commissions for space which was vacant at the time of acquisition of a property.
Development and redevelopment expenditures include all hard and soft costs associated with the development or redevelopment of a property, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capitalized interest and operating costs until the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
Acquisitions of individual properties are recorded as acquisitions of real estate assets. Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price for property acquisitions and businesses acquired is allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities using their relative fair values as of the acquisition date based on valuations and other studies. Initial valuations are subject to change until such information is finalized no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.
On January 1, 2003, the Company acquired for $13,000,000 in cash BMS, which provides cleaning, security and engineering services principally to the Companys Manhattan office properties. This company was previously owned by the estate of Bernard Mendik and certain other individuals including David R. Greenbaum, one of the Companys executive officers.
On April 9, 2003, the Company acquired Kaempfer which owns partial interests in six Class A office properties in Washington D.C. containing 1.8 million square feet, manages and leases these properties and four others for which it receives customary fees and has options to acquire certain other real estate interests, including the Waterfront project discussed below. Kaempfers equity interest in the properties approximates 5.0%. The aggregate purchase price for the equity interests and the management and leasing business was $32,200,000 (consisting of $28,600,000 in cash and approximately 99,300 Operating Partnership units valued at $3,600,000) and may be increased by up to $9,000,000 based on the performance of the management company.
On October 7, 2003, the Company acquired a 2.5% interest in the planned redevelopment of Waterfront, located at 401 M Street, a mixed-use project in Washington D.C. (the Waterfront interest) for $2,171,000, of which the Company paid $1,545,000 in cash and issued 12,500 Operating Partnership units valued at $626,000. The partnership units were issued to Mitchell N. Schear, one of the partners in the Waterfront interest, who became the President of the Companys CESCR division.
102
On May 2, 2003, the Company acquired the remaining 40% of a 78-year leasehold interest in 20 Broad Street it did not already own. The purchase price was approximately $30,000,000 in cash. 20 Broad Street contains 466,000 square feet of office space, of which 348,000 square feet is leased to the New York Stock Exchange.
On August 4, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of 2101 L Street, a 370,000 square foot office building located in Washington D.C. The consideration for the acquisition consisted of approximately 1.1 million newly issued Operating Partnership units (valued at approximately $49,517,000) and the assumption of existing mortgage debt and transaction costs totaling approximately $32,000,000. Robert H. Smith and Robert P. Kogod, trustees of Vornado, together with family members owned approximately 24 percent of the limited partnership that sold the building and Mr. Smith was a general partner. On August 5, 2003, the Company repaid the mortgage of $29,056,000.
On December 12, 2003, the Company acquired the Bergen Mall for approximately $145,000,000. This purchase was funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free like-kind exchange with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Companys Two Park Avenue property. The Bergen Mall is a 903,000 square foot shopping center located on Route 4 East in Paramus, New Jersey. The center is anchored by Macys, Value City, Marshalls and Off Saks Fifth Avenue. The Company intends to expand, re-tenant and redevelop the center in order to reposition the asset. On January 27, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to modify the Value City lease to give the Company a one-year option to terminate the lease no earlier than one year after notification and upon payment of $12,000,000 to the tenant. The present value of this option is reflected in the acquisition price and is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On January 9, 2003, the Company sold its Baltimore, Maryland shopping center for $4,752,000, which resulted in a net gain after closing costs of $2,644,000.
On June 13, 2003, the Company received its $5,000,000 share of a settlement with affiliates of Primestone Investment Partners of the amounts due under the guarantees of the Primestone loans. In connection therewith, the Company recognized a $1,388,000 loss on settlement of the guarantees.
On October 10, 2003, the Company sold Two Park Avenue, a 965,000 square foot office building, for $292,000,000 to SEB Immobilien-Investment GMBH, a German capital investment company, which resulted in a net gain on the sale after closing costs of $156,433,000.
On November 3, 2003, the Company sold its Hagerstown, Maryland shopping center for $3,100,000 which resulted in a net gain on sale after closing costs of $1,945,000.
On February 2, 2004, the Palisades Venture in which the Company owns a 75% interest entered into an agreement to sell its only asset, a 538 unit high-rise residential apartment tower in Fort Lee, New Jersey, for $222,500,000. On February 27, 2004, to permit a potential like kind exchange, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest it did not previously own for its partners share of the net sales price (approximately $17,000,000). The Companys gain on sale after closing costs will be approximately $70,000,000. The sale, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2004.
103
2003 Financings
On July 3, 2003, the Company entered into a new $600,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility which has replaced its $1,000,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility which was to mature in July 2003. The new facility has a three-year term, a one-year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus .65%.

Funds From Operations Applicable to Common Shares (FFO)
FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs which is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable periods. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Companys operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management considers FFO a relevant supplemental measure of operating performance because it provides a basis for comparison among REITs. FFO is computed in accordance with NAREITs definition, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with NAREITs definition.
Year Ended December 31, 2003 vs. December 31, 2002
FFO was $518,242,000, or $4.44 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $439,775,000, or $3.91 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $78,467,000 or $.53 per share. Income from the straight-lining of rents included in FFO amounted to $34,023,000, or $.24 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2003, and $27,295,000, or $.24 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002. Income from the amortization of acquired below market leases net of above market leases included in FFO amounted to $9,047,000, or $.06 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $12,634,000, or $.11 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002. Also included in FFO are certain items that affect comparability as detailed below. Before these items, the year ended December 31, 2003 FFO is 6.5% higher than the year ended December 31, 2002 on a per share basis.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
FASB Interpretation No. 46-Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46)
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, as amended in December 2003 by FIN 46R, which deferred the effective date until the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. FIN 46R requires the consolidation of an entity by an enterprise known as a primary beneficiary, (i) if that enterprise has a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the entitys expected losses, if they occur, receive a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, if they occur, or both and (ii) if the entity is a variable interest entity (VIE), as defined. An entity qualifies as a variable interest entity if (i) the total equity investment at risk in the entity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest in the entity. The initial determination of whether an entity is a variable interest entity shall be made as of the date at which an enterprise becomes involved with the entity and re-evaluated as of the date of triggering events, as defined. The Company has evaluated each partially-owned entity to determine whether any qualify as a VIE, and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, as defined. The Company has determined that its investment in Newkirk MLP, in which it owns a 22.6% equity interest (see Note 5 Investments in Partially-Owned Entities to the consolidated financial statements in this annual report Form 10-K), qualifies as a VIE. The Company has determined that it is not considered the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, consolidation is not required. The Companys maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement in Newkirk is limited to its equity investment of approximately $138,762,000, as of December 31, 2003. In addition, the Company has variable interests in certain other entities which are primarily financing arrangements. The Company has evaluated these entities in accordance with FIN 46R and has determined that they are not VIEs. Based on the Companys evaluations, it does not believe that the adoption of FIN 46R will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 150-Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 which establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 on July 1, 2003, required the Company to reclassify all of its Series F-1 Preferred Units ($10 million liquidation value) from minority interest to a liability on its consolidated balance sheet. In connection therewith, the Company also reclassified $225,000 of payments made to the holders of these units in the three months ended December 31, 2003 as interest expense.
On November 7, 2003, the FASB deferred, indefinitely, the application of paragraphs 9 and 10 of SFAS No. 150 as it relates to mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries in order to address a number of interpretation and implementation issues. The Company has determined that one of its consolidated, finite-life joint ventures qualifies as a mandatory redeemable non-controlling interest. If the Company were required to adopt the provisions of paragraphs 9 and 10 on the statements effective date, the Company would have to reclassify as a liability, amounts included in minority interest of approximately $1.6 million and record the minority partners interest as a liability at its estimated settlement value which would result in a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of approximately $15.6 million. This liability would be required to be reviewed each quarter and any changes in its settlement value would be recorded as interest expense.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, beyond the control of the Company. Various financial vehicles exist which would allow management to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Companys cash flows and earnings.
As of December 31, 2003, the Company has an interest rate swap as described in footnote 1 to the table below. In addition, during 2003 the Company purchased two interest rate caps with notional amounts aggregating $295,000,000, and simultaneously sold two interest rate caps with the same aggregate notional amount on substantially the same terms as the caps purchased. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments are expected to substantially offset one another. Management may engage in additional hedging strategies in the future, depending on managements analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies.
The Companys exposure to a change in interest rates on its wholly-owned and partially-owned debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:

(1) Includes $525,279 for the Companys senior unsecured notes due 2007, as the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted the interest rate from a fixed rate of 5.625% to a floating rate of LIBOR plus .7725%, based upon the trailing 3 month LIBOR rate (1.97% if set on December 31, 2003). In accordance with SFAS 133, as amended, accounting for these swaps requires the Company to fair value the debt at each reporting period. At December 31, 2003, the fair value adjustment was $25,780, and is included in the balance of the senior unsecured notes above.
The fair value of the Companys debt, based on discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt, exceeds the aggregate carrying amount by approximately $94,953,000 at December 31, 2003.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
111
Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 8. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vornado Realty Trust at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company applied the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado Realty Trust and its majority-owned subsidiary, Vornado Realty L.P. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. The Company accounts for its unconsolidated partially-owned entities on the equity method of accounting. See below for further details of the Companys accounting policies regarding partially-owned entities.
Management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications: Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.
Real Estate: Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renewals and certain costs directly related to the acquisition, improvement and leasing of real estate are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. For redevelopment of existing operating properties, the net book value of the existing property under redevelopment plus the cost for the construction and improvements incurred in connection with the redevelopment are capitalized to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the redeveloped property when complete. If the cost of the redeveloped property, including the undepreciated net book value of the property carried forward, exceeds the estimated fair value of redeveloped property, the excess is charged to expense. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful lives which range from 7 to 40 years. Tenant allowances are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximates the useful lives of the assets. Additions to real estate include interest expense capitalized during construction of $5,407,000 and $6,677,000, for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively.
Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, and beginning in 2002, identified intangibles such as above and below market leases and acquired in-place leases in accordance with SFAS No. 141 and 142) and acquired liabilities, and allocates purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. The Companys properties are reviewed for impairment if events or circumstances change indicating that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
Partially-Owned Entities: The Company considers APB 18 The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, SOP 78-9 Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, EITF 96-16 Investors Accounting for an Investee When the Investor has the Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Partners have Certain Approval or Veto Rights, to determine the method of accounting for each of its partially-owned entities. In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a partially-owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, it considers factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members. The Company has concluded that it does not control a partially-owned entity, despite an ownership interest of 50% or greater, if the approval of all of the partners/members is contractually required with respect to major decisions, such as operating and capital budgets, the sale, exchange or other disposition of real property, the hiring of a Chief Executive Officer, the commencement, compromise or settlement of any lawsuit, legal proceeding or arbitration or the placement of new or additional financing secured by assets of the venture. This is the case with respect to the Companys 60% interest in Temperature Controlled Logistics, 80% interest in Starwood Ceruzzi Venture, and 50% interests in Monmouth Mall, MartParc Wells, MartParc Orleans, and 825 Seventh Avenue.
119
Identified Intangible Assets and Goodwill: Upon an acquisition of a business the Company records intangible assets acquired at their estimated fair value separate and apart from goodwill. The Company amortizes identified intangible assets that are determined to have finite lives which are based on the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the business acquired. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value.
The excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss for an asset group is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, unless the fair value of specific components of the reporting group are determinable without undue cost and effort.
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying amounts of the Companys identified intangible assets are $106,281,000 and $50,487,000 and the carrying amounts of goodwill are $4,345,000 and $0, respectively. Such amounts are included in other assets on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company has $47,266,000 and $48,430,000 of deferred credits as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, which are included as liabilities on the Companys consolidated balance sheet.
Upon adoption of SFAS 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets on January 1, 2002, the Company tested the goodwill related to the Hotel Pennsylvania acquisition and the Temperature Controlled Logistics business for impairment. As the carrying amounts of the respective goodwill exceeded the fair values, the Company wrote-off all of the goodwill as an impairment loss totaling $30,129,000 and has reflected the write-off as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle on the income statement.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents do not include cash escrowed under loan agreements and cash restricted in connection with an officers deferred compensation payable.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under the lease agreements. The Company also maintains an allowance for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. This receivable arises from earnings recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease agreements. Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates.
Marketable Securities: The Company has classified debt and equity securities which it intends to hold for an indefinite period of time (including warrants to acquire equity securities) as securities available for sale; equity securities it intends to buy and sell on a short term basis as trading securities; and preferred stock investments as securities held to maturity. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are included as a component of shareholders equity and other comprehensive income. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities are recorded based on specific identification. A portion of the Companys preferred stock investments are redeemable and accounted for in accordance with EITF 99-20 Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. Income is recognized by applying the prospective method of adjusting the yield to maturity based on an estimate of future cash flows. If the value of the investment based on the present value of the future cash flows is less than the Companys carrying amount, the investments will be written-down to fair value through earnings. Investments in securities of non-publicly traded companies are reported at cost, as they are not considered marketable under SFAS No. 115.
At December 31, 2003 and 2002, marketable securities had an aggregate cost of $75,114,000 and $41,665,000 and an aggregate fair value of $81,491,000 and $42,525,000 (of which $0 represents trading securities; $43,527,000 and $2,020,000 represents securities available for sale; and $37,964,000 and $40,505,000 represent securities held to maturity). Gross unrealized gains and losses were $6,377,000 and $0 at December 31, 2003 and $860,000 and $0 at December 31, 2002 respectively. As of December 31, 2003, there are no marketable securities in an unrealized loss position.
120
Notes and Mortgage Loans Receivable: The Companys policy is to record mortgages and notes receivable at the stated principal amount less any discount or premium. The Company accretes or amortizes any discounts or premiums over the life of the related loan receivable utilizing the effective interest method. The Company evaluates the collectibility of both interest and principal of each of its loans, if circumstances warrant, to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the loss accrual is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loans effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, to the value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Interest on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis.
Deferred Charges: Direct financing costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related agreements as a component of interest expense. Direct costs related to leasing activities are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases. All other deferred charges are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method, in accordance with the terms of the agreements to which they relate.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at amounts which, in managements estimation, based upon an interpretation of available market information and valuation methodologies (including discounted cash flow analyses with regard to fixed rate debt) are considered appropriate. The fair value of the Companys debt is approximately $94,953,000 in excess of the aggregate carrying amount at December 31, 2003. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition of the Companys financial instruments.
Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by SFAS No. 133, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. The cumulative effect of implementing SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001, was $4,110,000.
For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.
On June 27, 2002, the Company entered into interest rate swaps that effectively converted the interest rate on the $500,000,000 senior unsecured notes due 2007 from a fixed rate of 5.625% to a floating rate of LIBOR plus .7725%, based upon the trailing 3 month LIBOR rate (1.15% at December 31, 2003). These swaps were designated and effective as fair value hedges, with a fair value of $25,780,000 at December 31, 2003, which is included in Other Assets on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. Accounting for these swaps also requires the Company to recognize changes in the fair value of the debt during each reporting period. At December 31, 2003, the fair value adjustment of $25,780,000, based on the fair value of the swaps, is included in the balance of the Senior Unsecured Notes. Because the hedging relationship qualifies for the short-cut method, no hedge ineffectiveness on these fair value hedges was recognized during 2003 and 2002.
121
Revenue Recognition: The Company has the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies:
Base Rents income arising from tenant leases. These rents are recognized over the non-cancelable term of the related leases on a straight-line basis which includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases.
Percentage Rents income arising from retail tenant leases which are contingent upon the sales of the tenant exceeding a defined threshold. These rents are recognized in accordance with SAB 104, which states that this income is to be recognized only after the contingency has been removed (i.e. sales thresholds have been achieved).
Hotel Revenues income arising from the operation of the Hotel Pennsylvania which consists of rooms revenue, food and beverage revenue, and banquet revenue. Income is recognized when rooms are occupied. Food and beverage and banquet revenue are recognized when the services have been rendered.
Trade Show Revenues income arising from the operation of trade shows, including rentals of booths. This revenue is recognized in accordance with the booth rental contracts when the trade shows have occurred.
Expense Reimbursements revenue arising from tenant leases which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the respective property. This revenue is accrued in the same periods as the expenses are incurred. Contingent rents are not recognized until realized.
Income Taxes: The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. The Company will distribute to its shareholders 100% of its taxable income and therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. Dividend distributions for the year ended December 31, 2003, were characterized for Federal income tax purposes as 94.4% ordinary income and 5.6% long-term capital gain income. Dividend distributions for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were characterized as ordinary income.
The Company owns stock in corporations that have elected to be treated for Federal income tax purposes, as taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS). The value of the combined TRS stock cannot and does not exceed 20% of the value of the Companys total assets. A TRS is taxable on its net income at regular corporate tax rates. The total income tax paid for the 2003 and 2002 tax years was $2,486,000 and $1,430,000.

The net basis of the Companys assets and liabilities for tax purposes is approximately $2,857,619,000 lower than the amount reported for financial statement purposes. At December 31, 2003, the Company had a capital loss carryover of zero.
122
Income Per Share: Basic income per share is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted income per share considers the effect of outstanding options, restricted shares warrants and convertible or redeemable securities.
Stock Based Compensation: In 2002 and prior years, the Company accounted for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. Under the intrinsic value method compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Companys stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted. Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The Companys policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to 100% of the market price of the Companys stock on the grant date. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Companys stock option grants. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation as amended by SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock - Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 prospectively by valuing and accounting for employee stock options granted in 2003 and thereafter. The Company utilizes a binomial valuation model and appropriate market assumptions to determine the value of each grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for all grants subsequent to 2002. See Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation, for pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, assuming compensation costs for grants prior to 2003 were recognized as compensation expense based on the fair value at the grant dates.
In addition to employee stock option grants, the Company has also granted restricted shares to certain of its employees that vest over a three to five year period. The Company records the value of each restricted share award as stock-based compensation expense based on the Companys closing stock price on the NYSE on the date of grant on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has 246,030 restricted shares or rights to receive restricted shares outstanding to employees of the Company, excluding 626,566 shares issued to the Companys President in connection with his employment agreement. The Company recognized $1,898,000 and $1,868,000 of stock-based compensation expense in 2003 and 2002 for the portion of these shares that vested during each year. Dividends on both vested and unvested shares are charged to retained earnings and amounted to $777,700 and $210,100 for 2003 and 2002, respectively. Dividends on shares that are canceled or terminated prior to vesting are charged to compensation expense in the period they are cancelled or terminated.
123
FASB Interpretation No. 46-Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46)
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, as amended in December 2003 by FIN 46R, which deferred the effective date until the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. FIN 46R requires the consolidation of an entity by an enterprise known as a primary beneficiary, (i) if that enterprise has a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the entitys expected losses, if they occur, receive a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, if they occur, or both and (ii) if the entity is a variable interest entity (VIE), as defined. An entity qualifies as a variable interest entity if (i) the total equity investment at risk in the entity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest in the entity. The initial determination of whether an entity is a variable interest entity shall be made as of the date at which an enterprise becomes involved with the entity and re-evaluated as of the date of triggering events, as defined. The Company has evaluated each partially-owned entity to determine whether any qualify as a VIE, and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, as defined. The Company has determined that its investment in Newkirk MLP, in which it owns a 22.6% equity interest (see Note 5 Investments in Partially-Owned Entities), qualifies as a VIE. The Company has determined that it is not considered the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, consolidation is not required. The Companys maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement in Newkirk is limited to its equity investment of approximately $138,762,000, as of December 31, 2003. In addition, the Company has variable interests in certain other entities which are primarily financing arrangements. The Company has evaluated these entities in accordance with FIN 46R and has determined that they are not VIEs. Based on the Companys evaluations, it does not believe that the adoption of FIN 46R will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 150-Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 which establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 on July 1, 2003 caused the Company to reclassify all of its Series F-1 Preferred Units ($10 million liquidation value) from minority interest to a liability on its consolidated balance sheet, as those units may be settled by the issuance of a variable number of the Companys common shares. In connection therewith, the Company also reclassified $225,000 of payments made to the holders of these units in the three months ended December 31, 2003 as interest expense.
On November 7, 2003, the FASB deferred, indefinitely, the application of paragraphs 9 and 10 of SFAS No. 150 as it relates to mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries in order to address a number of interpretation and implementation issues. The Company has determined that one of its consolidated, finite-life joint ventures qualifies as a mandatory redeemable non-controlling interest. If the Company were required to adopt the provisions of paragraphs 9 and 10 as currently written, the Company would have to reclassify as a liability, amounts included in minority interest of approximately $1.6 million and record the minority partners interest as a liability at its estimated settlement value which would result in a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of approximately $15.6 million. This liability would be required to be reviewed each quarter and any changes in its settlement value would be recorded as interest expense.

3. Acquisitions and Dispositions
Acquisitions:
The Company completed approximately $530,400,000 of real estate acquisitions and investments in 2003 and $1,834,000,000 in 2002. These acquisitions were consummated through subsidiaries or preferred stock affiliates of the Company. Related net assets and results of operations have been included in these financial statements since their respective dates of acquisition. The pro forma effect of the individual acquisitions and in the aggregate other than Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty, were not material to the Companys historical results of operations.
Acquisitions of individual properties are recorded as acquisitions of real estate assets. Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price for property acquisitions and businesses acquired is allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities using their relative fair values as of the acquisition date based on valuations and other studies. Initial valuations are subject to change until such information is finalized no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.
Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty Investment (CESCR)
On January 1, 2002, the Company completed the combination of CESCR with Vornado. Prior to the combination, Vornado owned a 34% interest in CESCR. The consideration for the remaining 66% of CESCR was approximately $1,600,000,000, consisting of 15.6 million newly issued Operating Partnership units and approximately $1 billion of debt (66% of CESCRs total debt). The purchase price paid by the Company was determined based on the weighted average closing price of the equity issued to CESCR unit holders for the period beginning two business days before and ending two business days after the date the acquisition was agreed to and announced on October 19, 2001. The Company also capitalized approximately $32,000,000 of acquisition related costs, including advisory, legal and other professional fees that were incurred in connection with the acquisition. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at January 1, 2002, the date of acquisition.

The Companys estimate of the weighted average useful life of acquired intangibles is approximately three years. This acquisition was recorded as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities using their relative fair values as of January 1, 2002 based on valuations and other studies. The operations of CESCR are consolidated into the accounts of the Company beginning January 1, 2002. Prior to this date the Company accounted for its 34% interest on the equity method.

Crystal Gateway One
On July 1, 2002, the Company acquired a 360,000 square foot office building from a limited partnership, which was approximately 50% owned by Mr. Robert H. Smith and Mr. Robert P. Kogod, trustees of the Company, and members of the Smith and Kogod families, in exchange for approximately 325,700 newly issued Vornado Operating Partnership units (valued at $13,679,000) and the assumption of $58,500,000 of debt. The building is located in the Crystal City complex in Arlington, Virginia. The operations of Crystal Gateway One are consolidated into the accounts of the Company from the date of acquisition.
On January 1, 2003, the Company acquired for $13,000,000 in cash BMS, which provides cleaning, security and engineering services principally to the Companys Manhattan office properties. This company was previously owned by the estate of Bernard Mendik and certain other individuals including David R. Greenbaum, one of the Companys executive officers. This acquisition was recorded as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the operations of BMS are consolidated into the accounts of the Company beginning January 1, 2003.
126
On April 9, 2003, the Company acquired Kaempfer which owns partial interests in six Class A office properties in Washington D.C. containing 1.8 million square feet, manages and leases these properties and four others for which it receives customary fees and has options to acquire certain other real estate interests, including the Waterfront project discussed below. Kaempfers equity interest in the properties approximates 5.0%. The aggregate purchase price for the equity interests and the management and leasing business was $32,200,000 (consisting of $28,600,000 in cash and approximately 99,300 Operating Partnership units valued at $3,600,000) and may be increased by up to $9,000,000 based on the performance of the management company. This acquisition was recorded as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the operations of Kaempfer are consolidated into the accounts of the Company beginning April 9, 2003.
On October 7, 2003, the Company acquired a 2.5% interest in the planned redevelopment of Waterfront, located at 401 M Street, a mixed-use project in Washington D.C. (the Waterfront interest) for $2,171,000, of which the Company paid $1,545,000 in cash and issued 12,500 Operating Partnership units valued at $626,000. The partnership units were issued to Mitchell N. Schear, one of the partners in the Waterfront interest, who became the President of the Companys CESCR division.
On May 2, 2003, the Company acquired the remaining 40% of a 78-year leasehold interest in 20 Broad Street it did not already own. The purchase price was approximately $30,000,000 in cash. 20 Broad Street contains 466,000 square feet of office space, of which 348,000 square feet is leased to the New York Stock Exchange. Prior to the acquisition of the remaining 40%, the Company consolidated the operations of this property and reflected the 40% interest that it did not own as a component of minority interest. Subsequent to this acquisition, the Company no longer reflects the 40% minority interest.
On August 4, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of 2101 L Street, a 370,000 square foot office building located in Washington D.C. The consideration for the acquisition consisted of approximately 1.1 million newly issued Operating Partnership units (valued at approximately $49,517,000) and the assumption of existing mortgage debt and transaction costs totaling approximately $32,000,000. Robert H. Smith and Robert P. Kogod, trustees of Vornado, together with family members owned approximately 24 percent of the limited partnership that sold the building and Mr. Smith was a general partner. On August 5, 2003, the Company repaid the mortgage of $29,056,000.
Las Catalinas Mall
On September 23, 2002, the Company increased its interest in the Las Catalinas Mall located in Caguas, Puerto Rico (San Juan area) to 100% by acquiring the 50% of the mall and 25% of the Kmart anchor store it did not already own. The purchase price was $48,000,000, of which $16,000,000 was paid in cash and $32,000,000 was debt assumed. The Las Catalinas Mall, which opened in 1997, contains 493,000 square feet, including a 123,000 square foot Kmart and a 138,000 square foot Sears owned by the tenant. Prior to September 23, 2002, the Company accounted for its investment on the equity method. Subsequent to this date the operations of Las Catalinas are consolidated into the accounts of the Company.
127
Monmouth Mall
On October 10, 2002, a joint venture in which the Company has a 50% interest, acquired the Monmouth Mall, an enclosed super regional shopping center located in Eatontown, New Jersey containing approximately 1.5 million square feet, including four department stores, three of which aggregating 719,000 square feet are owned by the tenants. The purchase price was approximately $164,700,000, including transaction costs of $4,400,000. The Company made a $7,000,000 cash investment in the form of common equity to the venture and provided it with cash of $23,500,000 representing preferred equity yielding 14%. The venture financed the purchase of the Mall with $135,000,000 of floating rate debt at LIBOR plus 2.05%, with a LIBOR floor of 2.50% on $35,000,000, a three year term and two one-year extension options. The Company accounts for its investment on the equity method.
On December 12, 2003, the Company acquired the Bergen Mall for approximately $145,000,000. This purchase was funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free like-kind exchange with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Companys Two Park Avenue property. The Bergen Mall is a 903,000 square foot shopping center located on Route 4 East in Paramus, New Jersey. The center is anchored by Macys, Value City, Marshalls and Off Saks Fifth Avenue. The Company intends to expand, re-tenant and redevelop the center in order to reposition the asset. On January 27, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to modify the Value City lease to give the Company a one-year option to terminate the lease no earlier than one year after notification and upon payment of $12,000,000 to the tenant. The present value of this option is reflected in the acquisition price and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
Forest Plaza Shopping Center

In September 1998, Atlantic City condemned the Companys property. In the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a gain of $1,694,000, which reflected the condemnation award of $3,100,000, net of the carrying value of the property of $1,406,000.

Net gains (losses) on wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate:
Primestone Settlement of Guarantees (2003) and Foreclosure and Impairment Losses (2002)
On September 28, 2000, the Company made a $62,000,000 loan to Primestone Investment Partners, L.P. (Primestone). The Company received a 1% up-front fee and was entitled to receive certain other fees aggregating approximately 3% upon repayment of the loan. The loan bore interest at 16% per annum. Primestone defaulted on the repayment of this loan on October 25, 2001. The loan was subordinate to $37,957,000 of other debt of the borrower that liened the Companys collateral. On October 31, 2001, the Company purchased the other debt for its face amount. The loans were secured by 7,944,893 partnership units in Prime Group Realty, L.P., the operating partnership of Prime Group Realty Trust (NYSE:PGE) and the partnership units are exchangeable for the same number of common shares of PGE. The loans are also guaranteed by affiliates of Primestone.
On November 19, 2001, the Company sold, pursuant to a participation agreement with a subsidiary of Cadim inc. (Cadim), a Canadian pension fund, a 50% participation in both loans at par for approximately $50,000,000 reducing the Companys net investment in the loans at December 31, 2001 to $56,768,000 including unpaid interest and fees of $6,790,000. The participation did not meet the criteria for sale accounting under SFAS 140 because Cadim was not free to pledge or exchange the assets. Accordingly, the Company was required to account for this transaction as a borrowing secured by the loan, rather than as a sale of the loan by classifying the participation as an Other Liability and continuing to report the outstanding loan balance at 100% in Notes and Mortgage Loans Receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.
On April 30, 2002, the Company and Cadim acquired the 7,944,893 partnership units at a foreclosure auction. The price paid for the units by application of a portion of Primestones indebtedness to the Company and Cadim was $8.35 per unit, the April 30, 2002 closing price of shares of PGE on the New York Stock Exchange. On June 28, 2002, pursuant to the terms of the participation agreement, the Company transferred 3,972,447 of the partnership units to Cadim.
In the second quarter of 2002, in accordance with foreclosure accounting, the Company recorded a loss on the Primestone foreclosure of $17,671,000 calculated based on (i) the acquisition price of the units and (ii) its valuation of the amounts realizable under the guarantees by affiliates of Primestone, as compared with the net carrying amount of the investment at April 30, 2002. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $2,229,000 write-down on its investment based on costs expended to realize the value of the guarantees. Further, in the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $15,857,000 write-down of its investment in Prime Group consisting of (i) $14,857,000 to adjust the carrying amount of the Prime Group units to $4.61 per unit, the closing price of PGE shares on December 31, 2002 on the New York Stock Exchange and (ii) $1,000,000 for estimated costs to realize the value of the guarantees. The Company considered the decline in the value of the units which are convertible into stock to be other than temporary as of December 31, 2002, based on the fact that the market value of the units which are convertible into stock had been less than its cost for more than six months, the severity of the decline, market trends, the financial condition and near-term prospects of Prime Group and other relevant factors.
On June 11, 2003, the Company exercised its right to exchange the 3,972,447 units it owned in Prime Group Realty L.P. for 3,972,447 common shares in Prime Group Realty Trust (NYSE:PGE). Prior to the exchange, the Company accounted for its investment in the partnership on the equity method. Subsequent to the exchange, the Company is accounting for its investment in PGE as a marketable equity security-available for sale, as the Companys shares represent less than a 20% ownership interest in PGE (which is not a partnership), the Company does not have significant influence and the common shares have a readily determinable fair value. Accordingly, the carrying amount previously included in Investments and Advances to Partially-Owned Entities was reclassified to Marketable Securities on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. The Company is also required to mark these securities to market based on the closing price of the PGE shares on the NYSE at the end of each reporting period. For the period from June 11, 2003 through December 31, 2003, the Company recorded a $6,623,000 unrealized gain, which is not included in the Companys net income, but is reflected as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Shareholders Equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. From the date of exchange, income recognition is limited to dividends received on the PGE shares.
On June 13, 2003, the Company received its $5,000,000 share of a settlement with affiliates of Primestone Investment Partners of the amounts due under the guarantees of the Primestone loans. In connection therewith, the Company recognized a $1,388,000 loss on settlement of the guarantees.

Gain on Transfer of Mortgages
In the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $2.1 million resulting from payments to the Company by third parties that assumed certain of the Companys mortgages. Under these transactions the Company paid to the third parties that assumed the Companys obligations the outstanding amounts due under the mortgages and the third parties paid the Company for the benefit of assuming the mortgages. The Company has been released by the creditors underlying these loans.
Net Gain on Sale of Air Rights
In 2002, the Company constructed a $16.3 million community facility and low-income residential housing development (the 30th Street Venture), in order to receive 163,728 square feet of transferable development rights, generally referred to as air rights. The Company donated the building to a charitable organization. The Company sold 106,796 square feet of these air rights to third parties at an average price of $120 per square foot. An additional 28,821 square feet of air rights was sold to Alexanders at a price of $120 per square foot for use at Alexanders 59th Street development project (the 59th Street Project). In each case, the Company received cash in exchange for air rights. The Company identified third party buyers for the remaining 28,111 square feet of air rights of the 30th Street Venture. These third party buyers wanted to use the air rights for the development of two projects located in the general area of 86th Street which was not within the required geographical radius of the construction site nor in the same Community Board as the low-income housing and community facility project. The 30th Street Venture asked Alexanders to sell 28,111 square feet of the air rights it already owned to the third party buyers (who could use them) and the 30th Street Venture would replace them with 28,111 square feet of air rights. In October 2002, the Company sold 28,111 square feet of air rights to Alexanders for an aggregate sales price of $3,059,000 (an average of $109 per square foot). Alexanders then sold an equal amount of air rights to the third party buyers for an aggregate sales price of $3,339,000 (an average of $119 per square foot).
Gain on Sale of Kinzie Park Condominium Units
The Company recognized gains of $187,500 and $2,156,000 during 2003 and 2002, from the sale of residential condos in Chicago, Illinois.
Write-off Investments in Technology Companies
In the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a charge of $4,723,000 resulting from the write-off of an equity investment in a technology company. In the second quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an additional charge of $13,561,000 resulting from the write-off of all of its remaining equity investments in technology companies due to both the deterioration of the financial condition of these companies and the lack of acceptance by the market of certain of their products and services. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recorded $1,481,000 of income resulting from the reversal of a deferred liability relating to the termination of an agreement permitting one of the technology companies access to its properties.
Park Laurel Condominium Project
In 2001, the Park Laurel joint venture (69% interest owned by the Company) completed the sale of 52 condominium units of the total 53 units and received proceeds of $139,548,000. The Companys share of the after tax net gain was $15,657,000. The Companys share of the after-tax net gain reflects $3,953,000 (net of tax benefit of $1,826,000) of awards accrued under the ventures incentive compensation plan. In 2003 the Company sold the remaining unit which resulted in after tax net gain to the Company of $94,000.
Write-off of Net Investment in RTR
In the third quarter of 2001, the Company wrote-off its entire net investment of $7,374,000 in RTR based on the operating losses and an assessment of the value of the real estate.

SFAS No. 144 requires discontinued operations presentation for disposals of a component of an entity. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, for all periods presented, the Company reclassified its consolidated statements of income to reflect income and expenses for properties which became held for sale subsequent to December 31, 2003, as discontinued operations and reclassified its consolidated balance sheets to reflect assets and liabilities related to such properties as assets related to discontinued operations and liabilities related to discontinued operations.

(1) On February 5, 2004, AmeriCold Realty Trust completed a $254,400 mortgage financing for 21 of its owned and 7 of its leased temperature-controlled warehouses. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.95% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5% with respect to $54,400 of the loan) and requires principal payments of $5,000 annually. The loan matures in April 2009 and is pre-payable without penalty after February 5, 2006. The net proceeds were approximately $225,000 after providing for usual escrows, closing costs and the repayment of $12,900 of existing mortgages on two of the warehouses, of which $135,000 was distributed to the Company and the remainder was distributed to its partner.
(2) On January 2, 2002, the Newkirk Joint Ventures partnership interests were merged into a master limited partnership (the MLP). In conjunction with the merger, the MLP completed a $225,000 mortgage financing collateralized by its properties, subject to the existing first and certain second mortgages on those properties. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 5.5% with a LIBOR floor of 3% (8.5% at December 31, 2003) and matures on January 31, 2005, with two one-year extension options. As a result of the financing on February 6, 2002, the MLP repaid approximately $28,200 of existing debt and distributed approximately $37,000 to the Company. On November 24, 2003, Newkirk JV and the MLP obtained new financing in the amount of $525,000. Of this amount $316,527 is secured by the Contract Rights and guaranteed by the MLP and $208,473 is secured by the assets of the MLP. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus 4.5% or (ii) Prime plus 2.5%. The loan matures on November 24, 2006 and has two one-year extensions. The proceeds of the loan were used primarily to repay the MLPs outstanding balance of the existing $225,000 credit facility and to distribute funds to its partners. The Company received its share of the distribution (approximately $74,106) on November 24, 2003.
(3) On October 10, 2002, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 50% interest acquired the Monmouth Mall.
(4) On June 11, 2003, the Company exercised its right to exchange the 3,972,447 units it owned in Prime Group Realty L.P. for 3,972,447 common shares in Prime Group Realty Trust (NYSE:PGE). Prior to the exchange, the Company accounted for its investment in the partnership on the equity method. Subsequent to the exchange, the Company is accounting for its investment in PGE as a marketable equity security-available for sale.

(1) 2003 includes the Companys $14,868 share of Alexanders stock appreciation rights compensation expense. 2002 includes the Companys $3,431 share of Alexanders gain on sale of its Third Avenue property. Equity in income in 2001 includes (i) the Companys $6,298 share of Alexanders gain on sale of its Fordham Road property, (ii) a charge of $1,684 representing the Companys share of abandoned development costs and (iii) $1,170 representing the Companys share of Alexanders gain on the early extinguishment of debt on its Fordham Road property. Management and leasing fee income include $350 and $520 paid to the Company in 2002 and 2001 in connection with sales of real estate.
(2) Alexanders capitalizes the fees and interest charged by the Company. Because the Company owns 33.1% of Alexanders, the Company recognizes 66.9% of such amounts as income and the remainder is reflected as a reduction of the Companys carrying amount of the investment in Alexanders.
(3) The Company owned a 34% interest in CESCR. On January 1, 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 66% of CESCR it did not previously own. Accordingly, CESCR is consolidated as of January 1, 2002.
(4) Represents the Companys interests in 330 Madison Avenue (24.8%), 825 Seventh Avenue (50%), Fairfax Square (20%), Kaempfer equity interests in six office buildings (.1% to 10%) and 570 Lexington Avenue (50%). On May 17, 2001, the Company sold its 50% interest in 570 Lexington Avenue for $60,000, resulting in a gain of $12,445 which is not included in income in the table above.
(5) On June 11, 2003, the Company exercised its right to exchange the 3,972,447 units it owned in Prime Group Realty L.P. for 3,972,447 common shares in Prime Group Realty Trust (NYSE:PGE). Prior to the exchange, the Company accounted for its investment in the partnership on the equity method. Subsequent to the exchange, the Company is accounting for its investment in PGE as a marketable equity security-available for sale.

At December 31, 2003, the Company had loans receivable from Alexanders of $124,000,000, including $29,000,000 drawn under a $50,000,000 line of credit. The maturity date of the loans is the earlier of January 3, 2006 or the date the Alexanders Lexington Avenue construction loan is finally repaid. The Company accrues interest at 12.48% on the loans, which resets quarterly using a 9.48% spread to one-year treasuries with a 3% floor for treasuries.
On February 13, 2004, Alexanders completed a $400,000,000 mortgage financing on the Office Space of its Lexington Avenue development project placed by German American Capital Corporation, an affiliate of Deutsche Bank. The loan bears interest at 5.33%, matures in February 2014 and beginning in the third year, provides for principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule such that over the remaining eight years of the loan, ten years of amortization will be paid. Of the loan proceeds, $253,529,000 was used to repay the entire amount outstanding under the Construction Loan with HVB Real Estate Capital (Hypo). The Construction Loan was modified so that the remaining availability is $237,000,000, which is approximately the amount estimated to complete the Lexington Avenue development project. The interest rate on the Construction Loan is LIBOR plus 2.5% (currently 3.64%) and matures in January 2006, with two one-year extensions. The collateral for the Construction Loan is the same, except that the Office Space has been removed from the lien. Further, the Construction Loan permits the release of the retail space for $15,000,000 and requires all proceeds from the sale of the residential condominiums units to be applied to the Construction Loan balance until it is finally repaid. In connection with reducing the principal amount of the Construction loan Alexanders will write-off $3,050,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs in the first quarter of 2004, of which the Companys share is $1,010,000.
The Company has agreed to guarantee to the construction lender, the lien free, timely completion of the construction of the project and funding of project costs in excess of a stated loan budget, if not funded by Alexanders (the Completion Guarantee). The $6,300,000 estimated fee payable by Alexanders to the Company for the Completion Guarantee is 1% of construction costs (as defined). Based upon the current status of construction, Management does not anticipate the need to fund pursuant to the Completion Guarantee.
Alexanders is managed by and its properties are leased by the Company, pursuant to agreements with a one-year term expiring in March of each year which are automatically renewable. The annual management fee payable to the Company by Alexanders is equal to the sum of (i) $3,000,000, (ii) 3% of the gross income from the Kings Plaza Mall, and (iii) 6% of development costs with minimum guaranteed fees of $750,000 per annum.
The leasing agreement provides for the Company to generally receive a fee of (i) 3% of sales proceeds and (ii) 3% of lease rent for the first ten years of a lease term, 2% of lease rent for the 11th through the 20th years of a lease term and 1% of lease rent for the 21st through 30th years of a lease term, subject to the payment of rents by Alexanders tenants. Such amount is receivable annually in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000 until the present value of such installments (calculated at a discount rate of 9% per annum) equals the amount that would have been paid at the time the transactions which gave rise to the commissions occurred. At December 31, 2003, $14,450,000 is due to the Company under this agreement.
On August 30, 2002, Alexanders sold its Third Avenue property, located in the Bronx, New York, which resulted in a gain of $10,366,000. On January 12, 2001, Alexanders sold its Fordham Road property located in the Bronx, New York, for $25,500,000, which resulted in a gain of $19,026,000. In addition, Alexanders paid off the mortgage on its Fordham Road property at a discount, which resulted in a gain from early extinguishment of debt of $3,534,000 in the first quarter of 2001.

6. Notes and Mortgage Loans Receivable
On March 4, 1999, the Company made an additional $242,000,000 investment in CESCR by contributing to CESCR the land under certain CESCR office properties in Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia and partnership interests in certain CESCR subsidiaries. The Company acquired these assets from CAPI, an affiliate of Lazard Freres Real Estate Investors L.L.C., for $242,000,000, immediately prior to the contribution to CESCR. In addition, the Company acquired from CAPI for $8,000,000 the land under a Marriott Hotel located in Crystal City. The Company paid the $250,000,000 purchase price to CAPI by issuing 4,998,000 of the Companys Series E-1 convertible preferred units. In connection with these transactions, the Company agreed to make a five-year $41,200,000 loan to CAPI with interest at 8%, increasing to 9% ratably over the term. The loan is secured by approximately 1.1 million of the Companys Series E-1 convertible preferred units issued to CAPI. Each Series E-1 convertible preferred unit is convertible into 1.1364 of the Companys common shares. As of December 31, 2003, the balance of the loan was $38,500,000. In February 2004, CAPI converted all of its Series E-1 units into 5,679,727 Vornado common shares. Subsequent to the conversion the loan is secured by 1,250,000 Vornado common shares.
At December 31, 2003, the amount outstanding under the revolving credit agreement with Vornado Operating was $21,989,000. Vornado Operating has disclosed that there is substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Vornado Operating has incurred losses since its inception and in the aggregate its investments do not, and for the foreseeable future are not expected to, generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of its debts and expenses. Vornado Operating estimates that it has adequate borrowing capacity under its credit facility with the Company to meet its cash needs until December 31, 2004. However, the principal, interest and fees outstanding under the line of credit come due on such date. Further, Vornado Operating states that its only investee, AmeriCold Logistics (Tenant), anticipates that its Landlord, a partnership 60% owned by the Company and 40% owned by Crescent Real Estate Equities, will need to restructure the leases between the Landlord and the Tenant to provide additional cash flow to the Tenant (the Landlord has previously restructured the leases to provide additional cash flow to the Tenant). Management anticipates a further lease restructuring in 2004, although the Landlord is under no obligation to do so and there can be no assurance that it will do so. Vornado Operating is expected to have a source to repay the debt under this facility from the lease restructuring or other options, although not by its original due date. Since January 1, 2002, the Company has not recognized interest income on the debt under this facility. The Company has assessed the collectibility of this loan as of December 31, 2003 and determined that it is not impaired.
On March 19, 2003, the outstanding amount of $29,401,000 was received from Dearborn representing the full satisfaction of the mezzanine construction loan. The loan bore interest at 12% per annum plus additional interest of $5,655,000 which was received upon repayment.
On September 11, 2003, the Company made a loan of $7,300,000 to a non-affiliated party. The loan was collateralized by the borrowers ownership of the 150,067 shares of Vornado Series C-1 convertible preferred operating partnership units and 202,411 Vornado Class A operating partnership units. On November 18, 2003, the Company acquired the units for $15,998,000 (equivalent to 373,952 Class A at $42.78 per unit) from the borrower for $8,698,000 in cash and the balance through the repayment of the loan.

(1) On February 5, 2004, the Company completed a $300,000 refinancing of Two Penn Plaza. The loan bears interest at 4.97% and matures in February 2011. The Company retained net proceeds of $39,000 after repaying the existing $151,000 loan, $75,000 of the $275,000 mortgage loan on its One Penn Plaza property and the $33,000 mortgage loan on 866 U.N. Plaza.
(2) On June 9, 2003, the Company completed a $170,000 mortgage of its 770 Broadway property. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.05% is pre-payable after one year without penalty and matures in June 2006 with two-one year extension options. The proceeds of the new loan were used primarily to repay (i) a $18,926 mortgage loan on 33 North Dearborn, (ii) a $69,507 mortgage loan on Tysons Dulles Plaza, and (iii) $40,000 of borrowing under the Companys unsecured revolving credit facility. In connection with the closing of the 770 Broadway loan, the Company purchased an interest rate cap, and simultaneously sold an interest rate cap with the same terms. Since these instruments do not reduce the Companys net interest rate risk exposure, they do not qualify as hedges and changes in their respective values are charged to earnings. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments is expected to substantially offset one another. Simultaneously with the completion of the 770 Broadway loan, the Company used cash from its mortgage escrow account to repay $133,659 of the $153,659 of debt previously cross-collateralized by its 770 Broadway and 595 Madison Avenue properties.
(3) On August 4, 2003, the Company completed a refinancing of its 909 Third Avenue mortgage loan. The new $125,000 mortgage loan is for a term of three years and bears interest at LIBOR plus .70% and has two one-year extension options. Simultaneously with the completion of the 909 Third Avenue loan, the Company used cash from its mortgage escrow account to repay the balance of $20,000 of debt previously cross-collateralized by its 770 Broadway and 595 Madison Avenue properties. In connection with the closing of the 909 Third Avenue loan, the Company purchased an interest rate cap and simultaneously sold an interest rate cap with the same terms. Since these instruments do not reduce the Companys net interest rate risk exposure, they do not qualify as hedges and changes in their respective values are charged to earnings. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments is expected to substantially offset one another.
(4) On July 31, 2003, the Company replaced the mortgage on the Commerce Executive property with (i) a new $43,000 non-recourse mortgage loan an LIBOR plus 1.50% with a two-year term and one-year extension option and (ii) a $10,000 unsecured loan for three years at LIBOR plus .65% with a one-year extension option.
(5) On June 24, 2002, the Company completed an offering of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2007. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on June 15th and December 15th, commencing December 15, 2002. The notes were priced at 99.856% of their face amount to yield 5.659%. The net proceeds of approximately $496,300 were used to repay the mortgages payable on 350 North Orleans, Two Park Avenue, the Merchandise Mart and Seven Skyline. On June 27, 2002, the Company entered into interest rate swaps that effectively converted the interest rate on the $500,000 senior unsecured notes due 2007 from a fixed rate of 5.625% to a floating rate of LIBOR plus .7725%, based upon the trailing 3 month LIBOR rate (2.15% if set on December 31, 2002). As a result of the hedge accounting for the interest rate swap on the Companys senior unsecured debt, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of $34,245, as of December 31, 2002 which is equal to the fair value of the interest rate swap asset. The fair value of the swap was $25,780 on December 31, 2003.
(6) On June 21, 2002, one of the lenders purchased the other participants interest in the loan. At the same time, the loan was extended for one year, with certain modifications including, (i) making the risk of a loss due to terrorism (as defined) not covered by insurance recourse to the Company and (ii) the granting of two 1-year renewal options to the Company.
(7) On November 25, 2003, the Company completed an offering of $200,000, aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior unsecured notes due December 1, 2010. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on June 1st and December 1st, commencing in 2004. The notes were priced at 99.869% of their face amount to yield 4.772%. The notes contain the same financial covenants that are in the Companys notes issued in June 2002, except the maximum ratio of secured debt to total assets is now 50% (previously 55%). The net proceeds of approximately $198,500 were used primarily to repay existing mortgage debt.
(8) On July 3, 2003, the Company entered into a new $600,000 unsecured revolving credit facility which has replaced its $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility which was to mature in July 2003. The new facility has a three-year term, a one-year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus .65%. The Company also has the ability under the new facility to seek up to $800,000 of commitments during the facilitys term. The new facility contains financial covenants similar to the prior facility.

The net carrying amount of properties collateralizing the notes and mortgages amounted to $4,557,065,000 at December 31, 2003. As at December 31, 2003, the principal repayments required for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

9. Stock-based Compensation
The Companys Share Option Plan (the Plan) provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and performance shares to certain employees and officers of the Company.
Restricted stock awards are granted at the market price on the date of grant and vest over a 3 to 5 year period. The Company recognizes the value of restricted stock as compensation expense based on the Companys closing stock price on the NYSE on the date of grant on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. As of December 31, 2003, there are 246,030 restricted shares outstanding, excluding 626,566 shares issued to the Companys President in connection with his employment agreement. The Company recognized $2,599,000 and $1,868,000 of compensation expense in 2003 and 2002 for the portion of these shares that vested during each year. Dividends paid on both vested and unvested shares are charged directly to retained earnings and amounted to $777,700 and $210,100 for 2003 and 2002, respectively. Dividends on shares that are cancelled or terminated prior to vesting are charged to compensation expense in the period of the cancellation or termination.
Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to 100% of the market price of the Companys stock on the date of grant, vest pro-rata over three years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2003 there are 14,153,587 options outstanding, of which 125,000 were granted during 2003. On January 1, 2003, the Company elected to adopted SFAS 123 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, on a prospective basis covering all grants subsequent to 2002. Under SFAS 123, the Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of options granted on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recognized $77,200 of compensation expense related to the options granted during 2003. Grants prior to 2003 are accounted for under the intrinsic value method under which compensation expense is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Companys stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted. As the Companys policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to 100% of the quoted market price on the grant date, no compensation expense has been recognized for options granted prior to 2003. If compensation cost for grants prior to 2003 were recognized as compensation expense based on the fair value at the grant dates, net income and income per share would have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts below:

Differences in the rates of return in the near term are recognized as gains or losses in the periods that they occur.
Plan Assets
The Company has consistently applied what it believes to be a conservative investment strategy for the Vornado Plan, investing primarily in cash and cash equivalents and fixed income funds, including money market funds, United States treasury bills, government bonds and mortgage back securities.

11. Leases
The Company leases space to tenants under operating leases. Most of the leases provide for the payment of fixed base rentals payable monthly in advance. Shopping center leases provide for the pass-through to tenants of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance. Office building leases generally require the tenants to reimburse the Company for operating costs and real estate taxes above their base year costs. Shopping center leases also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rent based on a percentage of the tenants sales. As of December 31, 2003, future base rental revenue under non-cancelable operating leases, excluding rents for leases with an original term of less than one year and rents resulting from the exercise of renewal options, is as follows:

These amounts do not include rentals based on tenants sales. These percentage rents approximated $3,662,000, $1,832,000, and $2,157,000, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001.
Except for the U.S. Government, which accounted for 12.7% of the Companys revenue, none of the Companys tenants represented more than 10% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Former Bradlees Locations
Property rentals for the year ended December 31, 2003, include $5,000,000 of additional rent which, effective December 31, 2002, was re-allocated to the former Bradlees locations in Marlton, Turnersville, Bensalem and Broomall and is payable by Stop & Shop, pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, dated May 1, 1992. This amount is in addition to all other rent guaranteed by Stop & Shop for the former Bradlees locations. On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court claiming the Company has no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. The Company believes the additional rent provision of the guaranty expires at the earliest in 2012 and will vigorously oppose Stop & Shops complaint.
In February 2003, Koninklijke Ahold NV, parent of Stop & Shop, announced that it overstated its 2002 and 2001 earnings by at least $500 million and is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cannot predict what effect, if any, this situation may have on Stop & Shops ability to satisfy its obligation under the Bradlees guarantees and rent for existing Stop & Shop leases aggregating approximately $10.5 million per annum.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
At December 31, 2003, the Companys $600,000,000 revolving credit facility had a zero balance, and the Company utilized $15,034,000 of availability under the facility for letters of credit.
In conjunction with the closing of Alexanders Lexington Avenue construction loan on July 3, 2002, the Company agreed to guarantee to the construction lender, the lien free, timely completion of the construction of the project and funding of all project costs in excess of a stated budget, as defined in the loan agreement, if not funded by Alexanders (see note 5 Investments in Partially-Owned Entities).
The Company is also committed to fund up to $32,420,000 in connection with its initial investment in two partially-owned entities.
Each of the Companys properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to the Company.
The Company carries comprehensive liability and all risk property insurance ((i) fire, (ii) flood, (iii) extended coverage, (iv) acts of terrorism as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 which expires in 2004 with a possible extension through 2005 and (v) rental loss insurance) with respect to its assets.

(1) Limited as to terrorism insurance by the sub-limit shown in the adjacent column.
In addition to the coverage above, the Company carries lesser amounts of coverage for terrorist acts not covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002.
The Companys debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by its properties (which are generally non-recourse to the Company), its senior unsecured notes due 2007 and 2010 and its revolving credit agreement, contain customary covenants requiring the Company to maintain insurance. Although the Company believes that it has adequate insurance coverage under these agreements, the Company may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further if lenders insist on greater coverage than the Company is able to obtain, it could adversely affect the Companys ability to finance and/or refinance its properties and expand its portfolio.
From time to time, the Company has disposed of substantial amounts of real estate to third parties for which, as to certain properties, it remains contingently liable for rent payments or mortgage indebtedness that cannot be quantified by the Company.
There are various legal actions against the Company in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
The Company enters into agreements for the purchase and resale of U.S. government obligations for periods of up to one week. The obligations purchased under these agreements are held in safekeeping in the name of the Company by various money center banks. The Company has the right to demand additional collateral or return of these invested funds at any time the collateral value is less than 102% of the invested funds plus any accrued earnings thereon. The Company had $30,310,000 and $33,393,000 of cash invested in these agreements at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

13. Related Party Transactions
Loan and Compensation Agreements
At December 31, 2003, the loan due from Mr. Roth in accordance with his employment arrangement was $13,123,000 ($4,704,500 of which is shown as a reduction in shareholders equity). The loan bears interest at 4.49% per annum (based on the applicable Federal rate) and matures in January 2006. The Company also provided Mr. Roth with the right to draw up to $15,000,000 of additional loans on a revolving basis. Each additional loan will bear interest, payable quarterly, at the applicable Federal rate on the date the loan is made and will mature on the sixth anniversary of the loan. On May 29, 2002, Mr. Roth replaced common shares of the Company securing the Companys outstanding loan to Mr. Roth with options to purchase common shares of the Company with a value of not less than two times the loan amount. In 2002, as a result of the decline in the value of the options, Mr. Roth supplemented the collateral with cash and marketable securities.
At December 31, 2003, loans due from Mr. Fascitelli, in accordance with his employment agreement, aggregated $8,600,000. The loans mature in December 2006 and bear interest, payable quarterly, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.97% (based on the applicable Federal rate).
Pursuant to Mr. Fascitellis 1996 employment agreement, Mr. Fascitelli became entitled to a deferred payment consisting of $5 million in cash and a convertible obligation payable November 30, 2001, at the Companys option, in either 919,540 common shares or the cash equivalent of their appreciated value, so long as such appreciated value is not less than $20 million. The Company delivered 919,540 shares to a rabbi trust upon execution of the 1996 employment agreement. The Company accounted for the stock compensation as a variable arrangement in accordance with Plan B of EITF No. 97-14 Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested as the agreement permitted settlement in either cash or common shares. Following the guidance in EITF 97-14, the Company recorded changes in the fair value of its compensation obligation with a corresponding increase in the liability Officers Compensation Payable. Effective as of June 7, 2001, the payment date was deferred until November 30, 2004. Effective as of December 14, 2001, the payment to Mr. Fascitelli was converted into an obligation to deliver a fixed number of shares (919,540 shares) establishing a measurement date for the Companys stock compensation obligation; accordingly the Company ceased accounting for the Rabbi Trust under Plan B of the EITF and began Plan A accounting. Under Plan A, the accumulated liability representing the value of the shares on December 14, 2001, was reclassified as a component of Shareholders Equity as Deferred compensation shares earned but not yet delivered. In addition, future changes in the value of the shares are no longer recognized as additional compensation expense. The fair value of this obligation was $50,345,000 at December 31, 2003. The Company has reflected this liability as Deferred Compensation Shares Not Yet Delivered in the Shareholders Equity section of the balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recognized approximately $4,744,000 of compensation expense of which $2,612,000 represented the appreciation in value of the shares and $2,132,000 represented dividends paid on the shares.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company extended its employment agreement with Mr. Fascitelli for a five-year period through December 31, 2006. Pursuant to the extended employment agreement, Mr. Fascitelli is entitled to receive a deferred payment on December 31, 2006 of 626,566 Vornado common shares which are valued for compensation purposes at $27,500,000 (the value of the shares on March 8, 2002, the date the extended employment agreement was executed). The shares are being held in a rabbi trust for the benefit of Mr. Fascitelli and vested 100% on December 31, 2002. The extended employment agreement does not permit diversification, allows settlement of the deferred compensation obligation by delivery of these shares only, and permits the deferred delivery of these shares. The value of these shares was amortized ratably over the one year vesting period as compensation expense.
Pursuant to the Companys annual compensation review in February 2002 with Joseph Macnow, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, the Compensation Committee approved a $2,000,000 loan to Mr. Macnow, bearing interest at the applicable federal rate of 4.65% per annum and due January 1, 2006. The loan, which was funded on July 23, 2002, was made in conjunction with Mr. Macnows June 2002 exercise of options to purchase 225,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The loan is collateralized by assets with a value of not less than two times the loan amount. In 2002, as a result of the decline in the value of the options, Mr. Macnow supplemented the collateral with cash and marketable securities.
One other executive officer of the Company has a loan outstanding pursuant to an employment agreement totaling $500,000 at December 31, 2003. The loan matures in April 2005 and bears interest at the applicable Federal rate provided (4.5% at December 31, 2003).

Transactions with Affiliates and Officers and Trustees of the Company
Alexanders
The Company owns 33.1% of Alexanders. Mr. Roth and Mr. Fascitelli are Officers and Directors of Alexanders and the Company provides various services to Alexanders in accordance with management, development and leasing agreements and the Company has made loans to Alexanders aggregating $124,000,000 at December 31, 2003. See Note 5 Investments in Partially-Owned Entities for further details.
In 2002, the Company constructed a $16.3 million community facility and low-income residential housing development (the 30th Street Venture), in order to receive 163,728 square feet of transferable development rights, generally referred to as air rights. The Company donated the building to a charitable organization. The Company sold 106,796 square feet of these air rights to third parties at an average price of $120 per square foot. An additional 28,821 square feet of air rights was purchased by Alexanders at a price of $120 per square foot for use at Alexanders 59th Street development project (the 59th Street Project). In each case, the Company received cash in exchange for air rights. The Company identified third party buyers for the remaining 28,111 square feet of air rights related to the 30th Street Venture. These third party buyers wanted to use the air rights for the development of two projects located in the general area of 86th Street which was not within the required geographical radius of the construction site nor in the same Community Board as the low-income housing and community facility project. The 30th Street Venture asked Alexanders to sell 28,111 square feet of the air rights it already owned to the third party buyers (who could use them) and the 30th Street Venture would replace them with 28,111 square feet of air rights. In October 2002, the Company sold 28,111 square feet of air rights to Alexanders for an aggregate purchase price of $3,058,000 (an average of $109 per square foot). Alexanders then sold an equal amount of air rights to the third party buyers for an aggregate purchase price of $3,339,000 (an average of $119 per square foot).
Vornado Operating Company
In October 1998, Vornado Operating Company (Vornado Operating) was spun off from the Company in order to own assets that the Company could not itself own and conduct activities that the Company could not itself conduct. The Company granted Vornado Operating a $75,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Agreement) which expires on December 31, 2004. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 3%. The Company receives a commitment fee equal to 1% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the facility. No amortization is required to be paid under the Revolving Credit Agreement during its term. The Revolving Credit Agreement prohibits Vornado Operating from incurring indebtedness to third parties (other than certain purchase money debt and certain other exceptions) and prohibits Vornado Operating from paying dividends. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, $21,989,000 was outstanding under this facility.
Vornado Operating has disclosed that there is substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Vornado Operating has incurred losses since its inception and in the aggregate its investments do not, and for the foreseeable future are not expected to, generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of its debts and expenses. Vornado Operating estimates that it has adequate borrowing capacity under its credit facility with the Company to meet its cash needs until December 31, 2004. However, the principal, interest and fees outstanding under the line of credit come due on such date. Further, Vornado Operating states that its only investee, AmeriCold Logistics (Tenant), anticipates that its Landlord, a partnership 60% owned by the Company and 40% owned by Crescent Real Estate Equities, will need to restructure the leases between the Landlord and the Tenant to provide additional cash flow to the Tenant (the Landlord has previously restructured the leases to provide additional cash flow to the Tenant). Management anticipates a further lease restructuring in 2004, although it is under no obligation to do so and there can be no assurance that it will do so. Vornado Operating is expected to have a source to repay the debt under this facility from the lease restructuring or other options, although not by its original due date. Since January 1, 2002, the Company has not recognized interest income on the debt under this facility.
152
Interstate Properties
The Company manages and leases the real estate assets of Interstate Properties pursuant to a management agreement for which the Company receives an annual fee equal to 4% of base rent and percentage rent and certain other commissions. The management agreement has a term of one year and is automatically renewable unless terminated by either of the parties on sixty days notice at the end of the term. Although the management agreement was not negotiated at arms length, the Company believes based upon comparable fees charged by other real estate companies, that its terms are fair to the Company. The Company earned $703,000, $747,000 and $1,133,000 of management fees under the management agreement for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. In addition, during fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, as a result of a previously existing leasing arrangement with Alexanders, Alexanders paid to Interstate $587,000, $703,000 and $522,000, respectively, for the leasing an other services actually rendered by the Company. Upon receipt of these payments, Interstate promptly paid them over to the Company without retaining any interest therein. This arrangement was terminated in 2003 and all payments by Alexanders for these leasing and other services are made directly to the Company.
Building Maintenance Service Company (BMS)
On January 1, 2003, the Company acquired BMS, a company which provides cleaning and related services principally to the Companys Manhattan office properties, for $13,000,000 in cash from the estate of Bernard Mendik and certain other individuals including David R. Greenbaum, an executive officer of the Company. The Company paid BMS $53,024,000, and $51,280,000, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 for services rendered to the Companys Manhattan office properties. Although the terms and conditions of the contracts pursuant to which these services were provided were not negotiated at arms length, the Company believes based upon comparable amounts charged to other real estate companies that the terms and conditions of the contracts were fair to the Company.
Other
On December 31, 2002, the Company and Crescent Real Estate Equities formed a joint venture to acquire the Carthage, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas quarries from AmeriCold Logistics, the tenant of the Temperature Controlled Logistics facilities for $20,000,000 in cash. The Company contributed cash of $8,800,000 to the joint venture representing its 44% interest. AmeriCold Logistics used the proceeds from the sale to repay a portion of a loan to Vornado Operating. Vornado Operating then repaid $9,500,000 of the amount outstanding under the Companys Revolving Credit Facility. On December 31, 2003, the joint venture purchased $5,720,000 of trade receivables from AmeriCold Logistics at a 2% discount, of which the Companys share was $2,464,000.
The Company owns preferred securities in Capital Trust, Inc. (Capital Trust) with a carrying amount of $29,259,000 at December 31, 2003. Mr. Roth, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado Realty Trust, is a member of the Board of Directors of Capital Trust.
During 2002, the Company paid $147,000 for legal services to a firm in which one of the Companys trustees is a member.
On August 4, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of 2101 L Street, a 370,000 square foot office building located in Washington D.C. The consideration for the acquisition consisted of approximately 1.1 million newly issued Operating Partnership units (valued at approximately $49,517,000) and the assumption of existing mortgage debt and transaction costs totaling approximately $32,000,000. Robert H. Smith and Robert P. Kogod, trustees of Vornado, together with family members owned approximately 24 percent of the limited partnership that sold the building and Mr. Smith was a general partner. On August 5, 2003, the Company repaid the mortgage of $29,056,000.
On October 7, 2003, the Company acquired a 2.5% interest in the planned redevelopment of Waterfront (described in Note 3) for $2,171,000, of which the Company paid $1,545,000 in cash and issued 12,500 Operating Partnership units valued at $626,000. The partnership units were issued to Mitchell N. Schear, one of the partners in the Waterfront interest, and the President of the Companys CESCR division.
In connection with the Park Laurel condominium project, in 2001 the joint venture accrued and paid $5,779,000 of awards under the ventures incentive compensation plan.

(1) Class A units are redeemable at the option of the holder for common shares of beneficial interest in Vornado, on a one-for-one basis, or at the Companys option for cash.
(2) In February 2004, all of the Series E-1 units were converted into 5,679,727 Vornado common shares.
(3) The holders of the Series F-1 preferred units have the right to require the Company to redeem the units for cash equal to the liquidation preference or, at the Companys option, by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares with a value equal to the liquidation value. On July 1, 2003, upon the adoption of SFAS No. 150-Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, the Company was required to include the liquidation value of these F-1 preferred units as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet as opposed to their prior classification as minority interest because of the possible settlement of this obligation by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares. In addition, from July 1, 2003, distributions to the holders of the F-1 preferred units are included as a component of interest expense as opposed to their prior classification as minority interest expense.
(4) Convertible at the option of the holder for an equivalent amount of the Vornado preferred shares and redeemable at the Companys option after the 5th anniversary of the date of issuance (ranging from December 1998 to September 2001).
(5) The Company redeemed all of its 8.5% Series D-1 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units on November 11, 2003 at a redemption price equal to the par value of $25.00 per unit or an aggregate of $87.5 million. This amount exceeded the carrying amount by $2,100,000 representing the original issuance costs. Upon redemption, these issuance costs were recorded as a reduction to earnings in arriving at net income applicable to common shares in accordance with the July 2003 EITF clarification of Topic D-42.
(6) The Company redeemed all of its 8.375% Series D-2 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units on January 6, 2004 at a redemption price equal to $50 per unit or an aggregate of $27.5 million.

15. Income Per Share
The following table provides a reconciliation of both net income and the number of common shares used in the computation of (i) basic income per common share - which utilizes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and (ii) diluted income per common share - which includes the weighted average common shares and dilutive share equivalents. Potential dilutive share equivalents include the Companys Series A Convertible Preferred shares as well as Vornado Realty L.P.s convertible preferred units.

17. Costs of Acquisitions and Development Not Consummated
In 2002, the Company had a 70% interest in a joint venture to develop an office tower over the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City. Market conditions existing in 2002 resulted in the joint venture writing off $9,700,000, representing all pre-development costs capitalized to date, of which the Companys share is $6,874,000.
In 2001, the Company was unable to reach a final agreement with the Port Authority of NY & NJ to conclude a net lease of the World Trade Center. Accordingly, in 2001 the Company wrote off costs of $5,223,000 primarily associated with the World Trade Center.

18. Segment Information

Material Features of Equity Compensation Arrangements Not Approved by Shareholders
We have awarded deferred stock units under individual arrangements with two of our employees. Shareholder approval was not required for these awards under the current or then-existing rules of the New York Stock Exchange because the awards were made as an inducement to these employees to enter into employment contracts with us.
We awarded Sandeep Mathrani, our Executive Vice President-Retail Real Estate, 23,798 deferred stock units pursuant to an agreement dated as of March 4, 2002. Under this agreement, Mr. Mathranis deferred stock units vest over a three-year period and he is entitled to dividend equivalent payments with regard to each vested unit. On March 4, 2005, Mr. Mathrani will receive one common share for each of his deferred stock units, subject to deferral at the election of Mr. Mathrani in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
We awarded Melvyn Blum 148,148 deferred stock units pursuant to an agreement dated as of December 29, 2000. Under this agreement, Mr. Blums deferred stock units vest over a five-year period and he is entitled to dividend equivalent payments with regard to each vested unit. In addition, Mr. Blums agreement requires the Company to provide an effective registration statement covering any common shares distributed to Mr. Blum. Pursuant to an amendment to this agreement dated as of February 13, 2003, we agreed to pay Mr. Blum an amount in cash equal to the market value of 88,889 common shares in respect of the deferred units that had vested under his agreement as of such date. The amendment also provides that Mr. Blum will receive one common share in respect of each remaining deferred stock unit on the vesting date of such unit, subject to deferral at the election of Mr. Blum in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

These encumbrances, including one of the Companys strip center located in Baltimore Maryland, which is classified under the caption assets related to discontinued operations are cross collateralized under ablanket mortgage in the amount of $481,901 as December 31, 2003. |
||
|
|
|
|
Notes: |
|||
|
(1) |
Initial cost is cost as of January 30, 1982 (the date on which Vornado commenced real estate operations) unless acquired subsequent to that date see Column H. |
|
|
(2) |
The net basis of the companys assets and liabilities for tax purposes is approximately $2,857,619,000 lower than the amount reported for financial statement purposes. |
|
|
(3) |
Date of original construction many properties have had substantial renovation or additional construction see Column D. |
|
|
(4) |
Buildings on these properties were demolished. As a result, the cost of the buildings and improvements, net of accumulated depreciation, were either transferred to land or written-off. In addition, the cost of the land in Kearny property is net of a $1,615 insurance recovery. |

EXECUTION COPY
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and entered into as of November 17, 2003 by and between VORNADO REALTY TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the Company), on the one hand, and Bel Holdings LLC (together with permitted successors and assigns who acquire Registrable Securities from time to time, in each case as long as such person is a record holder of any Registrable Securities, each individually, a Holder, and collectively, the Holders) on the other hand.
WHEREAS, the Holder is receiving on the date hereof Series D-10 Preferred Units of limited partnership interest (Units) in Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the Partnership);
WHEREAS, in connection therewith, the Company has agreed to grant to the Holder the Registration Rights (as defined in Section 1 hereof);
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. REGISTRATION RIGHTS
If a Holder receives 7.00% Series D-10 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, liquidation preference $25.00 per share, of the Company (Preferred Shares) upon redemption of Units (the Redemption Shares) pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, as the same may be amended from time to time (the Partnership Agreement), then, unless such Redemption Shares are issued to such Holder pursuant to an Issuer Registration Statement as provided in Section 2 below, such Holder shall be entitled to offer for sale pursuant to a shelf registration statement, the Redemption Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof (the Registration Rights).
SECTION 2. ISSUER REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Redemption Shares are issued by the Company to a Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement (an Issuer Registration Statement) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission), the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied all of its registration obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Holder.
SECTION 3. DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS
subject to Sections 3.1(c) and 3.2 hereof, if any Holder desires to exercise its Registration Rights with respect to the Redemption Shares held by such Holder, such Holder (a Notice Holder) shall deliver to the Company written notice (a Registration Notice) informing the Company of such exercise and specifying the number of shares to be offered by such Notice Holder (such shares to be offered being referred to herein as the Registrable Securities), which shares shall not be less than (a) 1,000,000 shares or (b) all of the shares held by such Holder. Such notice may be given at any time on or after the date a notice of redemption is delivered by the Notice Holder to the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, but must be given at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the consummation of the sale of Registrable Securities. As used in this Agreement, a Business Day is any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday other than a day on which banks and other financial institutions are authorized or required to be closed for business in the State of New York or Maryland. Upon receipt of the Registration Notice, the Company, if it has not already caused the Registrable Securities of the Notice Holder to be included as part of an existing shelf registration statement (prior to the filing of which the Company shall have given ten (10) Business Days notice to the Holders) and related prospectus that the Company then has on file with the Commission (the Shelf Registration Statement) (in which event the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its registration obligation under this Section 3), will cause to be filed with the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the Registration Notice a new registration statement and related prospectus (a New Registration Statement) that complies as to form in all material respects with applicable Commission rules providing for the sale by the Notice Holder of the Registrable Securities, and agrees (subject to Section 3.2 hereof) to use its best efforts to cause such New Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable. (As used herein, Registration Statement and Prospectus refer to the Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus) or the New Registration Statement and related prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus), whichever is utilized by the Company to satisfy the Notice Holders Registration Rights pursuant to this Section 3, including in each case any documents incorporated therein by reference.) Upon receipt of a Registration Notice, the Company will provide notice to each other Holder with respect to which it has not already satisfied its registration obligation of its receipt of the Registration Notice and its obligations (such notice, a Company Notice). Each other Holder shall have 10 days from the mailing of the Company Notice to such Holder to provide to the Company notice of its intention to include all, but not less than all, of its Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement (such other Holder, a Piggyback Holder and together with the Notice Holder, a Selling Holder). In no event may a Registration Notice be delivered more than once in any calendar year but there shall be no other limit on the number of Registration Notices delivered or registrations effected pursuant to this Section 3.1. Each Holder agrees to provide in a timely manner information regarding the proposed distribution by such Holder of the Registrable Securities and such other information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of and for inclusion in the Registration Statement. The Company agrees (subject to Section 3.2 hereof) to use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective (including the
2
preparation and filing of any amendments and supplements necessary for that purpose) until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Selling Holders consummate the sale of all of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement or (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities registered under the Registration Statement registered are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any successor provision) or in a single transaction pursuant to Rule 144(e) (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act). The Company agrees to provide to each Selling Holder a reasonable number of copies of the final Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may at any time, in its sole discretion and prior to receiving any Registration Notice from a Holder, include all of a Holders Redemption Shares or any portion thereof in any Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with any Registration Statement utilized by the Company to satisfy a Holders Registration Rights pursuant to this Section 3, each Holder agrees that it will respond within ten (10) Business Days to any request by the Company to provide or verify information regarding such Holder or such Holders Registrable Securities as may be required to be included in such Registration Statement pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission.
3
consummation of a transaction by the Company or any of its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event would require additional disclosure by the Company in a Registration Statement of material information which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the nondisclosure of which in the Registration Statement might cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (a Materiality Notice), a Holder agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder receives copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective; provided, that the Company may delay, suspend or withdraw the Registration Statement for such reason for no more than sixty (60) days after delivery of the Materiality Notice at any one time. If so directed by the Company, a Holder will deliver to the Company all copies of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of any Materiality Notice.
4
the Company shall (i) provide a Selling Holder with an adequate and appropriate opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein (and each amendment or supplement thereto or comparable statement) to be filed with the Commission and (ii) not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto or comparable statement) with the Commission to which such Holders counsel or any underwriter shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such filing does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Act or of the rules or regulations thereunder;
5
this Section, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
6
agent retained by any such seller or any underwriter material financial and other relevant information concerning the business and operations of the Company and the properties of the Company and any subsidiaries thereof as may be in existence at such time as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of such Holders and such underwriters respective counsel, to enable them to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Act, and cause the Companys and any subsidiaries officers, directors and employees, and the independent public accountants of the Company, to supply such information as may be reasonably requested by any such parties in connection with such Registration Statement;
7
8
provided, however, that the indemnity provided pursuant to this Section 3.5 does not apply with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of (A) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by a Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (B) a Holders failure to deliver an amended or supplemental Prospectus provided to such Holder by the Company if such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred.
9
provided, however, that the indemnity provided pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall only apply with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of (A) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (B) such Holders failure to deliver an amended or supplemental Prospectus provided to such Holder by the Company if such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.6, a Holder and any permitted assignee shall not be required to indemnify the Company, its officers, trustees/directors or control persons with respect to any amount in excess of the amount of the total proceeds to such Holder or such permitted assignee, as the case may be, from sales of the Registrable Securities of such Holder under the Registration Statement.
3.7 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. An indemnified party hereunder shall give reasonably prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnity agreement provided in Section 3.5 or 3.6 above, unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and the lack of notice by the indemnified party results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to the indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided under Section 3.5 or 3.6 above. If the indemnifying party so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, the indemnifying party may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such indemnifying partys own expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not settle any such action or proceeding without the written consent of the indemnified party unless, as a condition to such settlement, the indemnifying party secures the unconditional release of the indemnified party; and provided further, that if the indemnified party reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for the indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the indemnifying partys expense. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to assume the defense of such action or proceeding as a result of the second proviso to the preceding sentence, the indemnifying partys counsel shall be entitled to conduct the indemnifying partys defense and counsel for the indemnified party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of the indemnified party, it being understood that both such counsel will cooperate with each other to conduct the defense of such action or
10
proceeding as efficiently as possible. If the indemnifying party is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume such defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party. In such event, however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of the indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party is entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of such action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.8, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the total proceeds to such Holder from sales of the Registrable Securities of such Holder under the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
11
For purposes of this Section 3.8, each person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Holder controlled by such persons, and each trustee/director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
SECTION 4. EXPENSES
The Company shall pay all expenses incident to the performance by the company of the Companys registration obligations under Section 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, (i) all Commission and state securities registration, listing and filing fees; (ii) all expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing and distribution of any Issuer Registration Statement or Registration Statement and Prospectus; (iii) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of the independent accountants of the Company (including, without limitation, the expenses of any annual or special audit and comfort letters reasonably required by the underwriters in an underwritten offering), but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of Registrable Securities by a Holder and (iv) fees and expenses of any other persons retained by the Company in connection with the registration, including any experts, transfer agent or registrar, retained by the Company.
SECTION 5. RULE 144 COMPLIANCE
The Company covenants that it will use its best efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by the Company under the Act and the Exchange Act so as to enable a Holder to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act. In connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition by a Holder of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, the Company shall cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any Act legend, and enable certificates for such Registrable Securities to be for such number of shares and registered in such names as such Holder may reasonably request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities hereunder.
SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS
12
13
and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to (i) compel specific performance of the obligations, covenants and agreements of the other party under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (ii) obtain preliminary injunctive relief to secure specific performance and to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Agreement to be duly executed on its behalf as of the date first hereinabove set forth.
