VORNADO REALTY TRUST

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.             Organization

 

Vornado Realty Trust is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).  All references to the “Company” and “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.  Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 88.4% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2005.

 

2.             Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado and its majority-owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, as well as certain partially-owned entities in which the Company owns (i) more than 50% unless a partner has shared board and management representation and authority and substantive participation rights on all significant business decisions or (ii) 50% or less when the Company is considered the primary beneficiary and the entity qualifies as a variable interest entity under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (Revised) – Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”).  All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.  Equity interests in partially-owned corporate entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when the Company’s ownership interest is more than 20% but less than 50%.  When partially-owned investments are in partnership form, the 20% threshold for equity method accounting is generally reduced to 3% to 5%, based on the Company’s ability to influence the investees operating and financial policies.  Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of the net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions to or from these entities.  For all other investments, the Company uses the cost method.

 

Management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.

 

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005, management determined that the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 should be restated to reclassify $7,722,000 of “net cash provided by investing activities” to “net cash provided by operating activities” as they relate to distributions of income received from partially-owned entities accounted for on the equity method.  The restatement does not affect the total net change in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and has no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of income or the related income per share amounts.

3.             Recently Issued Accounting Literature

 

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have “commercial substance.” SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123: (Revised 2004) - Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”).  SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3.  SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of the change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so.  SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation or amortization for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle.  SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Westbury Retail Condominium

 

On May 20, 2005, the Company acquired the retail condominium of the former Westbury Hotel in Manhattan for $113,000,000 in cash.  Simultaneously with the closing, the Company placed an $80,000,000 mortgage loan on the property bearing interest at 5.292% and maturing in 2018.  The remaining portion of the purchase price was funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free “like-kind” exchange with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of 400 North LaSalle Residential Tower in April 2005.  This Manhattan property occupies the entire Madison Avenue block-front between 69th and 70th Streets, contains approximately 17,000 square feet and is fully occupied by luxury retailers, Cartier, Chloe and Gucci under leases that expire in 2018.  The operations of Westbury Retail Condominium are consolidated into the accounts of the Company from the date of acquisition.

 

Dune Capital

 

On May 31, 2005, the Company contributed $50,000,000 in cash to Dune Capital L.P., a limited partnership involved in corporate, real estate and asset-based investments.  The Company’s investment represents a 3.5% limited partnership interest as at June 30, 2005.  The Company accounts for this investment on the cost method.

 

Gun Hill Road

 

On June 7, 2005, the Company acquired a 66,765 square foot retail center located in the Bronx, New York for approximately $18,000,000 in cash.  The purchase price was funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free “like-kind” exchange with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of 400 North LaSalle Residential Tower in April 2005.  The operations of Gun Hill Road are consolidated into the accounts of the Company from the date of acquisition.

 

Bowen Building

 

On June 13, 2005, the Company acquired the 90% that it did not already own of the Bowen Building, a 231,000 square foot class A office building located at 875 15th Street N.W. in the Central Business District of Washington D.C.  The purchase price was $119,000,000, consisting of $63,000,000 in cash and an existing mortgage of $56,000,000 bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.5%, due in February 2007.  The building is 83% occupied by two tenants under leases that expire in 2015 and 2020.  The operations of the Bowen Building are consolidated into the accounts of the Company from the date of this acquisition.

 

H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”)

 

On July 20, 2005, the Company acquired H Street, which owns directly or indirectly through stock ownership in corporations, a 50% interest in real estate assets located in Pentagon City, Virginia including 34 acres of land leased to various residential and retail operators; a 1,670 unit apartment complex; 10 acres of land, as well as two office buildings located in Washington, DC containing 577,000 square feet. The purchase price was approximately $246,600,000, of which $194,500,000 was paid in cash and $52,100,000 for the Company’s pro-rata share of existing mortgage debt. On July 22, 2005, two of the corporations, now owned 50% by the Company, filed a complaint against the Company, H Street and three parties affiliated with the sellers of H Street in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia alleging that the Company (i) encouraged H Street to breach its fiduciary duties to these corporations and (ii) interfered with prospective business and contractual relationships.  The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages and a rescission of the Company’s acquisition of H Street.  The Company believes that the complaint is without merit and that it will be successful in defending against this action.

 

Toys “R” Us

 

On July 21, 2005, a joint venture owned equally by the Company, Bain Capital and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. acquired Toys “R” Us, Inc. (NYSE: TOY) for $26.75 per share in cash or approximately $6.6 billion.  In connection therewith, the Company provided $428,000,000 of the $1.3 billion of equity to the venture, consisting of $407,000,000 in cash and $21,000,000 in Toys “R” Us common shares held by the Company.  This investment will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  Because Toys “R” Us prepares its financial statements based on a January 31 fiscal year-end, the Company will record its pro-rata share of Toys “R” Us net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis.  Accordingly, the Company will record its pro-rata share of Toys “R” Us financial results for the third quarter ended October 29, 2005 in the Company’s quarter ended December 31, 2005.

Investment in Sears, Roebuck and Co.(“Sears”)

 

As a result of the merger between Sears and Kmart on March 30, 2005, in exchange for 1,176,600 Sears common shares owned, the Company received 370,330 common shares of Sears Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:  SHLD) (“Sears Holdings”) valued at $48,143,000 based on the $130.00 closing share price that day and $21,797,000 of cash.  The Company recognized a net gain of $27,651,000 in the first quarter of 2005, which was the difference between the aggregate cost basis in the Sears shares of $42,289,000 and the market value of the total consideration received on March 30, 2005 of $69,940,000.  On April 4, 2005, 99,393 of the Company’s Sears Holdings common shares were utilized to satisfy the third-party participation discussed below.  The remaining 270,937 Sears Holdings shares are recorded as marketable equity securities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and are classified as “available-for-sale.”  At June 30, 2005, based on Sears Holdings’ closing stock price of $149.87 per share, $5,383,000 of appreciation in the value of these shares was included in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the Company’s derivative position representing 7,916,900 Sears common shares became a derivative position representing 2,491,819 common shares of Sears Holdings valued at $323,936,000 based on the $130.00 per share closing price on March 30, 2005, the date of the merger, and $146,663,000 of cash.  As a result, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $58,443,000 based on the fair value of the Company’s derivative position.  In addition, the Company recorded additional income of $37,860,000 and $45,759,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, from the mark-to-market of the derivative position based on Sears Holdings’ June 30, 2005 closing share price of $149.87.

 

The Company’s aggregate net gain recognized on the owned shares and the derivative position from inception to June 30, 2005 was $213,583,000, which is after deducting $13,975,000 for a third-party performance-based participation.  On April 4, 2005, the Company satisfied the performance-based participation through the transfer of 99,393 of its Sears Holdings shares.  As a result of these transactions, the Company owns 270,937 common shares of Sears Holdings and has an economic interest in an additional 2,491,819 common shares through its derivative position.

 

Other

 

On April 5, 2005, the $24,000,000 bridge loan the Company provided to its 478-486 Broadway joint venture (50% owned by the Company) was replaced with a $20,000,000 loan and $2,000,000 of cash contributed by each of the venture partners.  The new loan bears annual interest at 90-day LIBOR plus 3.15% (6.49% as of June 30, 2005), matures in October 2007 and is prepayable at any time.

 

On July 19, 2005, a joint venture, owned equally by the Company and The Related Companies, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and has been conditionally designated as the developer to convert the Farley Post Office in Manhattan into the new Moynihan Train Station.  The Moynihan Station project involves 300,000 square feet for a new transportation facility to be financed with public funding, as well as 850,000 square feet of commercial space and up to 1,000,000 square feet of air rights intended to be transferred to an adjacent site. The commercial space is currently anticipated to include a variety of retail uses, restaurants, a boutique hotel and merchandise mart space.

Dispositions:

 

On April 21, 2005, the Company, through its 85% owned joint venture, sold 400 North LaSalle, a 452-unit high-rise residential tower in Chicago, Illinois, for $126,000,000, which resulted in a net gain on sale after closing costs of $31,614,000.  Substantially all of the proceeds from the sale will be reinvested in tax-free “like-kind” exchange investments pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company owned 3,972,447 common shares of Prime Group Realty Trust (“Prime”) with a carrying amount of $4.98 per share or an aggregate of $19,783,000.  The investment is classified as marketable equity securities-available for sale on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  On July 1, 2005, The Lightstone Group, LLC completed its acquisition of Prime by acquiring all of Prime’s outstanding common shares and limited partnership units for $7.25 per share or unit.  In connection therewith, the Company recognized a gain on July 1, 2005 of $9,017,000, representing the difference between the purchase price and the Company’s carrying amount, which will be reflected as a component of “net gains on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate” in the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

 

Net gain on dispositions of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes gains on sale of marketable equity securities and land parcels of $2,019,000 and $1,469,000, respectively.  Net gain on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2004 includes $776,000, representing a gain on sale of residential condominiums.

Financings:

 

On January 19, 2005, the Company redeemed all of its Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share or $115,000,000 plus accrued distributions.  In addition, the Company also redeemed $80,000,000 of Series D-3 Perpetual Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership.  The redemption amounts exceeded the carrying amounts by $6,052,000, 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.

 

On March 29, 2005, the Company completed a public offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.875% exchangeable senior debentures due 2025 pursuant to an effective registration statement.  The notes were sold at 98.0% of their aggregate principal amount.  The aggregate net proceeds from this offering, after the underwriters’ discount were approximately $490,000,000.  The debentures are exchangeable, under certain circumstances, for common shares of the Company at an initial exchange rate of 10.9589 common shares per $1,000 of principal amount of debentures.  The initial exchange price of $91.25 represented a premium of 30% to the closing price for the Company’s common shares on March 22, 2005 of $70.25.  The Company may elect to settle any exchange right in cash.  The debentures permit the Company to increase its common dividend 5% per annum, cumulatively, without an increase to the exchange rate.  The debentures are redeemable at the Company’s option beginning in 2012 for the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.  Holders of the debentures have the right to require the issuer to repurchase their debentures in 2012, 2015 and 2020 and in the event of a change in control.  The net proceeds from the offering were used for working capital and to fund the commitment with respect to the acquisition of Toys “R” Us, Inc.

 

On March 31, 2005, the Company completed a $225,000,000 refinancing of its 1.4 million square foot New York City office building located at 909 Third Avenue.  The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.64% and matures in April 2015.  The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $100,000,000 after repaying the existing floating rate loan on the property and closing costs.

 

On June 13, 2005, the Company completed a public offering of 4,000,000 perpetual 6.75% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant to an effective registration statement.  The Company may redeem the Series H Preferred Shares at a price of $25.00 per share after June 17, 2010.  In addition, on June 17, 2005, the underwriters exercised their option and purchased an additional 500,000 Preferred Shares to cover over-allotments.  The Company used the net proceeds of the offering of $108,956,000, together with existing cash balances, to redeem the remaining $120,000,000 8.25% Series D-3 Perpetual Preferred Units and the $125,000,000 8.25% Series D-4 Perpetual Preferred Units on July 14, 2005 at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per unit plus accrued dividends.  In conjunction with the redemptions, the Company wrote-off approximately $6,400,000 of issuance costs in the third quarter of 2005.

Alexander’s

 

The Company owns 33% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander’s at June 30, 2005.  The Company manages, leases and develops Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements, which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable, except for the 731 Lexington Avenue development agreement which provides for a term lasting until substantial completion of the development of the property.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had a receivable from Alexander’s of $60,034,000 under the agreements discussed above.  In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2005, Alexander’s paid $1,475,000 to Building Management Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for cleaning and engineering services at Alexander’s Lexington Avenue property.

 

The residential space at Alexander’s 731 Lexington Avenue property is comprised of 105 condominium units.  At June 30, 2005, 77 of the condominium units have been sold and closed and 22 were under sales contract.  In connection therewith, the Company recognized income of $26,174,000, in the six months ended June 30, 2005, comprised of (i) the Company’s $17,538,000 share of Alexander’s after-tax net gain, using the percentage-of-completion method and (ii) $8,636,000 of income the Company had previously deferred.

 

Equity in net income from Alexander’s also includes Alexander’s stock appreciation rights compensation expense of which the Company’s share was $2,034,000 and $9,467,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, based on Alexander’s closing stock price of $248.75 on June 30, 2005.  The three and six months ended June 30, 2004 includes the Company’s $2,171,000 and $12,084,000 share of Alexander’s stock appreciation rights compensation expense based on a closing Alexander’s stock price of $167.74 on June 30, 2004.

 

On July 6, 2005, Alexander’s completed a $320,000,000 mortgage financing on the retail space at the Company’s 731 Lexington Avenue property.  The loan is interest only at a fixed rate of 4.93% and matures in July 2015.  Of the net proceeds of approximately $312,000,000 (net of mortgage recording tax and closing costs), $90,000,000 was used to pay off the construction loan on the property and $124,000,000 was used to repay the Company’s loan to Alexander’s.

 

GMH Communities L.P.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company owns 7.3 million limited partnership units, or 12.22% of the limited partnership interest of GMH Communities L.P. (“GMH”), a partnership focused on the student and military housing sectors.  The Company accounts for its interest in the partnership units on the equity-method based on its ownership interest and right to appoint one of its executive officers to GMH Communities Trust’s (“GCT”) Board of Trustees.  GCT is a real estate investment trust that conducts its business through GMH, of which it is the sole general partner.

 

The Company records its pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis as the Company files its consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K or 10-Q prior to the time GCT files its financial statements.  Equity in net income from GMH for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $439,000, representing the Company’s share of GMH’s net income from January 1, 2005 to March 31, 2005.  Equity in net income from GMH for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $500,000, representing the Company’s share of GMH’s net income from November 3, 2004 to March 31, 2005.

 

In addition to the above, the Company holds warrants to purchase an additional 5.7 million limited partnership units of GMH or common shares of GCT at a price of $8.82 per unit or share through May 6, 2006.  Because these warrants are derivatives and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the warrants at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on the Company’s consolidated statement of income.  In the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recognized income of $12,741,000 from the mark-to-market of these warrants, which were valued using a trinomial option pricing model based on GCT’s closing stock price on the NYSE of $13.85 per share on June 30, 2005.  For the six months ended June 30, 2005, total income recognized from the mark-to-market of these warrants was $2,563,000.

On February 4, 2005, the Company made a $17,000,000 mezzanine loan secured by Roney Palace Phase II, in Miami Beach, Florida, a 593-room hotel to be converted to residential condominiums.  The loan, which was subordinate to $141,000,000 of other debt and bore interest at LIBOR plus 9.53% (12.87% as of June 30, 2005), was repaid on July 20, 2005.

On May 11, 2005, the Company’s $83,000,000 loan to Extended Stay America was repaid.  In connection therewith, the Company received an $830,000 prepayment premium, which is included in “interest and other investment income” on the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

(1)           On March 31, 2005, the Company completed a $225,000 refinancing of 909 Third Avenue.  The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.64% and matures in April 2015.  The Company retained net proceeds of approximately $100,000 after repaying the existing floating rate loan on the property and closing costs.

(2)           Repaid in May 2005.

(3)           On March 29, 2005, the Company completed a public offering of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.875% exchangeable senior debentures due 2025 pursuant to an effective registration statement.  The notes were sold at 98.0% of their aggregate principal amount.  The aggregate net proceeds from this offering, after the underwriters’ discount, were approximately $490,000.  The debentures are exchangeable, under certain circumstances, for common shares of the Company at an initial exchange rate of 10.9589 common shares per $1,000 of principal amount of debentures.  The initial exchange price of $91.25 represented a premium of 30% to the closing price for the Company’s common shares on March 22, 2005 of $70.25.  The Company may elect to settle any exchange right in cash.  The debentures permit the Company to increase its common dividend 5% per annum, cumulatively, without an increase to the exchange rate.  The debentures are redeemable at the Company’s option beginning in 2012 for the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.  Holders of the debentures have the right to require the issuer to repurchase their debentures in 2012, 2015 and 2020 and in the event of a change in control.

In 2004, the Company classified Arlington Plaza, an office property located in Arlington, Virginia as a discontinued operation and reported revenues and expenses related to the property as discontinued operations and classified the related assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities held for sale for all periods presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as subsequently amended by Form 10-K/A.  On June 30, 2005, the Company made a decision not to sell Arlington Plaza and, accordingly, reclassified the related assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses back into continuing operations for all periods presented in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

 

Assets related to discontinued operations at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, consist primarily of the net book value of real estate and represents a retail property located in Vineland, New Jersey and the 400 North LaSalle Residential Complex which was sold on April 21, 2005.

 

The combined results of operations of the assets related to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 include the operating results of the assets related to discontinued operations above, as well as the Company’s Palisades Residential Complex sold on June 29, 2004, and Dundalk, Maryland retail property sold on August 12, 2004.

11.          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 potentially dilutive share equivalents.  Potentially dilutive share equivalents include the Company’s Series A convertible preferred shares, employee stock options and restricted share awards, exchangeable senior debentures due 2005 as well as Vornado Realty L.P.’s convertible preferred units.

13.          Stock-based Compensation

 

Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method (i.e., the difference between the price per share on the grant date and the option exercise price).  Accordingly, no stock-based compensation was recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for plan awards 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:

14.          Commitments and Contingencies

 

At June 30, 2005, the Company utilized $29,659,000 of availability under its revolving credit facility for letters of credit and guarantees.

 

On March 5, 2005, as part of the Company’s investment in a joint venture that owns Beverly Connection (see Note 4), the Company committed to provide up to an additional $35,000,000 of preferred equity to the venture, if requested by the venture.

 

Each of the Company’s 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 2005 and (v) rental loss insurance) with respect to its assets.  In April 2004, the Company renewed its all risk policies through December 31, 2005 and increased its coverage for Acts of Terrorism for each of its New York Office, Washington DC Office, Retail and Merchandise Mart divisions.  Below is a summary of the current all risk property insurance and terrorism risk insurance for each of the Company’s business segments:

(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 Company’s debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by its properties (which are generally non-recourse to the Company), its senior unsecured notes due 2007, 2009 and 2010, its exchangeable senior debentures due 2025 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, or if the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 is not extended, it could adversely affect the Company’s 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 Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

 

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 $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty.  On May 17, 2005, the Company served a motion for summary judgment.  On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment.  The hearing date for the motions has not yet been set.  The Company intends to pursue its claims against Stop & Shop vigorously.

Notes to preceding tabular information

 

(1)           EBITDA 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 relates to the total 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 should not be considered a substitute for net income.  EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

 

(2)           Interest and debt expense and depreciation and amortization included in the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA includes the Company’s share of the interest and debt expense and depreciation and amortization of its partially-owned entities.

 

(3)           At December 31, 2004, 7 West 34th Street, a 440,000 square foot New York office building, was 100% occupied by four tenants, of which Health Insurance Plan of New York (“HIP”) and Fairchild Publications occupied 255,000 and 146,000 square feet, respectively.  Effective January 4, 2005, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with HIP under which HIP made an initial payment of $13,362 and is anticipated to make annual payments ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 over the remaining six years of the HIP lease contingent upon the level of operating expenses of the building in each year. In connection with the termination of the HIP lease, the Company wrote off the $2,462 balance of the HIP receivable arising from the straight-lining of rent.

 

In the first quarter of 2005, the Company began redevelopment of a portion of this property into a permanent showroom building for the giftware industry.  As of January 1, 2005, the Company transferred the operations and financial results related to the office component of this asset from the New York Office division to the Merchandise Mart division for both the current and prior periods presented.  The operations and financial results related to the retail component of this asset were transferred to the Retail division for both current and prior periods presented.

 

(4)           Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, reflect the consolidation of the Company’s investment in Americold on November 18, 2004.  Previously, this investment was accounted for on the equity method.

 

(5)           Other EBITDA is comprised of:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
New York, New York

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of June 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 has been restated.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 24, 2005, (June 8, 2005 as to the effects of the restatements discussed in Note 17), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s application of the provisions of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance.  They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements.  You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or similar expressions in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties.  Many of the factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict.  Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 under “Forward Looking Statements” and “Item 1. Business – Certain Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Business and Operations.”  For these statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005, management determined that the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 should be restated to reclassify $7,722,000 of “net cash provided by investing activities” to “net cash provided by operating activities” as it relates to distributions of income received from partially-owned entities accounted for on the equity method.  The restatement does not affect the total net change in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and has no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of income or the related income per share amounts.  The Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 has been updated to reflect this restatement.

Overview

 

The Company owns and operates office, retail and showroom properties with large concentrations of office and retail properties in the New York City metropolitan area and in the Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia area.  In addition, the Company has a 47.6% interest in an entity that owns and operates 85 cold storage warehouses nationwide.

 

The Company’s business objective is to maximize shareholder value.  The Company measures its success in meeting this objective by the total return to its shareholders.  Below is a table comparing the Company’s performance to the Morgan Stanley REIT Index (“RMS”) for the following periods ending June 30, 2005:

(1)          Past performance is not necessarily indicative of how the Company will perform in the future.

(2)          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 Company’s existing properties to increase returns and maximize value.

                  Providing specialty financing to, and opportunistically investing in, real estate and real estate related companies.

 

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 Company’s 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.  Economic growth has been fostered, in part, by low interest rates, Federal tax cuts, and increases in government spending.  To the extent economic growth 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 economic growth is sustained, the Company may experience higher occupancy rates leading to higher initial rents and higher interest rates causing an increase in the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and a corresponding effect on net income, funds from operations and cash flow.

Toys “R” Us

 

On July 21, 2005, a joint venture owned equally by the Company, Bain Capital and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. acquired Toys “R” Us, Inc. (NYSE: TOY) for $26.75 per share in cash or approximately $6.6 billion.  In connection therewith, the Company provided $428,000,000 of the $1.3 billion of equity to the venture, consisting of $407,000,000 in cash and $21,000,000 in Toys “R” Us common shares held by the Company.  This investment will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  Because Toys “R” Us prepares its financial statements based on a January 31 fiscal year-end, the Company will record its pro-rata share of Toys “R” Us net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis.  Accordingly, the Company will record its pro-rata share of Toys “R” Us financial results for the quarter ended October 29, 2005 in the Company’s quarter ended December 31, 2005.

Investment in Sears, Roebuck and Co.(“Sears”)

 

As a result of the merger between Sears and Kmart on March 30, 2005, in exchange for 1,176,600 Sears common shares owned, the Company received 370,330 common shares of Sears Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:  SHLD) (“Sears Holdings”) valued at $48,143,000 based on the $130.00 closing share price that day and $21,797,000 of cash.  The Company recognized a net gain of $27,651,000 in the first quarter of 2005, which was the difference between the aggregate cost basis in the Sears shares of $42,289,000 and the market value of the total consideration received on March 30, 2005 of $69,940,000.  On April 4, 2005, 99,393 of the Company’s Sears Holdings common shares were utilized to satisfy the third-party participation discussed below.  The remaining 270,937 Sears Holdings shares are recorded as marketable equity securities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and are classified as “available-for-sale.”  At June 30, 2005, based on Sears Holdings’ closing stock price of $149.87 per share, $5,383,000 of appreciation in the value of these shares was included in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

 

In addition, as a result of the merger, pursuant to the terms of the contract the Company’s derivative position representing 7,916,900 Sears common shares became a derivative position representing 2,491,819 common shares of Sears Holdings valued at $323,936,000 based on the $130.00 per share closing price on March 30, 2005, the date of the merger, and $146,663,000 of cash.  As a result, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $58,443,000 based on the fair value of the Company’s derivative position.  In addition, the Company recorded additional income of $37,860,000 and $45,759,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, from the mark-to-market of the derivative position based on Sears Holdings’ June 30, 2005 closing share price of $149.87.

 

The Company’s aggregate net gain recognized on the owned shares and the derivative position from inception to June 30, 2005 was $213,583,000, which is after deducting $13,975,000 for a third-party performance-based participation.  On April 4, 2005, the Company satisfied the performance-based participation through the transfer of 99,393 of its Sears Holdings shares.  As a result of these transactions, the Company owns 270,937 common shares of Sears Holdings and has an economic interest in an additional 2,491,819 common shares through its derivative position.

On March 29, 2005, the Company completed a public offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.875% exchangeable senior debentures due 2025 pursuant to an effective registration statement.  The notes were sold at 98.0% of their aggregate principal amount.  The aggregate net proceeds from this offering, after the underwriters’ discount were approximately $490,000,000.  The debentures are exchangeable, under certain circumstances, for common shares of the Company at an initial exchange rate of 10.9589 common shares per $1,000 of principal amount of debentures.  The initial exchange price of $91.25 represented a premium of 30% to the closing price for the Company’s common shares on March 22, 2005 of $70.25.  The Company may elect to settle any exchange right in cash.  The debentures permit the Company to increase its common dividend 5% per annum, cumulatively, without an increase to the exchange rate.  The debentures are redeemable at the Company’s option beginning in 2012 for the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.  Holders of the debentures have the right to require the issuer to repurchase their debentures in 2012, 2015 and 2020 and in the event of a change in control.  The net proceeds from the offering were used for working capital and to fund the commitment with respect to the acquisition of Toys “R” Us, Inc.

Notes:

 

(1)          EBITDA 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 relates to the total 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 should not be considered a substitute for net income.  EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

 

(2)          Interest and debt expense and depreciation and amortization included in the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA includes the Company’s share of the interest and debt expense and depreciation and amortization of its partially-owned entities.

 

(3)          At December 31, 2004, 7 West 34th Street, a 440,000 square foot New York office building, was 100% occupied by four tenants, of which Health Insurance Plan of New York (“HIP”) and Fairchild Publications occupied 255,000 and 146,000 square feet, respectively.  Effective January 4, 2005, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with HIP under which HIP made an initial payment of $13,362 and is anticipated to make annual payments ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 over the remaining six years of the HIP lease contingent upon the level of operating expenses of the building in each year. In connection with the termination of the HIP lease, the Company wrote off the $2,462 balance of the HIP receivable arising from the straight-lining of rent.

 

In the first quarter of 2005, the Company began redevelopment of a portion of this property into a permanent showroom building for the giftware industry.  As of January 1, 2005, the Company transferred the operations and financial results related to the office component of this asset from the New York Office division to the Merchandise Mart division for both the current and prior periods presented.  The operations and financial results related to the retail component of this asset were transferred to the Retail division for both current and prior periods presented.

 

(4)          Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2005, reflects the consolidation of the Company’s investment in Americold on November 18, 2004.  Previously this investment was accounted for under the equity method.  See page 65 for further details.

Notes to preceding tabular information:

 

(1)                      Average occupancy and REVPAR were 86.7% and $99.84 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 83.7% and $79.78 for the prior year’s quarter.

 

(2)                      Primarily due to higher revenues from the June NeoCon trade show in Chicago and the April Furniture Market in High Point, North Carolina.

 

(3)                      Primarily from a $4,670 decrease in Washington DC rental income due to Patent and Trade Office leases expiring, partially offset by a $3,564 increase in New York office rental income.

 

(4)                      Of this increase, $1,845 relates to the true-up of estimated 2004 real estate tax and CAM expense reimbursement billings in June 2005.

 

(5)                      Primarily from a decrease in operating expenses due to lower real estate assessments.

 

(6)                      Primarily due to $3,088 of termination fee income received from MONY Life Insurance at 1740 Broadway.

Notes to preceding tabular information:

 

(1)                      Of this increase, $4,953 relates to the New York office portfolio, of which $1,134 relates to real estate taxes, $1,889 relates to utilities costs and $421 relates to repairs and maintenance expense.

 

(2)                      Primarily due to lower real estate taxes based on the finalization of 2003 taxes in September 2004.

 

(3)                      Primarily results from additions to buildings and improvements during 2004 and the first half of 2005.

 

(4)                      Primarily due to a $260 increase in Washington DC payroll and benefits and a $269 increase in professional fees.

 

(5)                      Primarily due to (i) a $608 increase in professional fees, (ii) a $401 write-off of costs of acquisitions not consummated and (iii) a $276 increase in income tax expense.

Income Applicable to Alexander’s

 

Income applicable to Alexander’s (loan interest income, management, leasing, development and commitment fees, and equity in income) was $9,523,000 before the Company’s $5,541,000 share of net gain on sale of condominiums and its $2,034,000 share of Alexander’s stock appreciation rights compensation (“SAR”) expense or $13,030,000, net in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to income of $7,949,000 before the Company’s $2,171,000 share of SAR expense or $5,778,000, net in the prior year’s quarter.  This net increase of $7,252,000 resulted primarily from (i) a net gain of $5,541,000 related to the sale of condominiums at Alexander’s 731 Lexington Avenue property and (ii) income from Alexander’s 731 Lexington Avenue property which was placed into service subsequent to the second quarter of 2004.

In 2004, the Company classified Arlington Plaza, an office property located in Arlington, Virginia as a discontinued operation and reported revenues and expenses related to the property as discontinued operations and classified the related assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities held for sale for all periods presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as subsequently amended by Form 10-K/A.  On June 30, 2005, the Company made a decision not to sell Arlington Plaza and, accordingly, reclassified the related assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses back into continuing operations for all periods presented in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

 

The combined results of operations of the assets related to discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 include the operating results of the assets related to discontinued operations (Vineland and 400 North LaSalle, which was sold on April 21, 2005), as well as the Company’s Palisades Residential Complex sold on June 29, 2004, and Dundalk, Maryland retail property sold on August 12, 2004.

Limited partners’ interest in the Operating Partnership was $23,975,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $25,011,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $1,036,000.  This decrease results primarily from the conversion of operating partnership Class A units into common shares of the Company subsequent to the second quarter of 2004.

 

Perpetual Preferred Unit Distributions of the Operating Partnership

 

Perpetual preferred unit distributions of the Operating Partnership were $15,152,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $16,948,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $1,796,000.  This decrease resulted primarily from the redemption of $80,000,000 of the Company’s 8.25% Series D-3 preferred units in January 2005, partially offset by distributions to holders of the 7.20% Series D-11 and 6.55% D-12 preferred units issued in May and December 2004.

(2)          EBITDA and the same store percentage increase (decrease) were $87,128 and 4.2% for the New York portfolio and $72,419 and (6.1%) for the Washington DC portfolio.

(3)          EBITDA and the same store percentage increase reflect the commencement of leases with WPP Group (228,000 square feet) in the third quarter of 2004.  These leases accounted for all of the increase in same store EBITDA.

(4)          Not comparable because prior to November 4, 2004, (date the operations of AmeriCold Logistics were combined with Americold), the Company reflected its equity in the rent Americold received from AmeriCold Logistics.  Subsequent thereto, the Company reflects its equity in the operations of the combined company.  See page 65 for condensed pro forma operating results of Americold for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, giving effect to the acquisition of its tenant, AmeriCold Logistics, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2004.

Notes:

 

(1)                                  EBITDA 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 relates to the total 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 should not be considered a substitute for net income.  EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

 

(2)                                  Interest and debt expense and depreciation and amortization included in the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA includes the Company’s share of the interest and debt expense and depreciation and amortization of its partially-owned entities.

 

(3)                                  At December 31, 2004, 7 West 34th Street, a 440,000 square foot New York office building, was 100% occupied by four tenants, of which Health Insurance Plan of New York (“HIP”) and Fairchild Publications occupied 255,000 and 146,000 square feet, respectively.  Effective January 4, 2005, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with HIP under which HIP made an initial payment of $13,362 and is anticipated to make annual payments ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 over the remaining six years of the HIP lease contingent upon the level of operating expenses of the building in each year. In connection with the termination of the HIP lease, the Company wrote off the $2,462 balance of the HIP receivable arising from the straight-lining of rent.

 

In the first quarter of 2005, the Company began redevelopment of a portion of this property into a permanent showroom building for the giftware industry.  As of January 1, 2005, the Company transferred the operations and financial results related to the office component of this asset from the New York Office division to the Merchandise Mart division for both the current and prior periods presented.  The operations and financial results related to the retail component of this asset were transferred to the Retail division for both current and prior periods presented.

 

(4)                                  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 reflect the consolidation of the Company’s investment in Americold on November 18, 2004.  Previously this investment was accounted for under the equity method.  See page 65 for further details.

Notes to preceding tabular information:

 

(1)                      Average occupancy and REVPAR were 81.0% and $85.90 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 73.9% and $67.54 for the prior year’s six months.

 

(2)                      Reflects a $9,846 increase in New York office leasing activity partially offset by a $4,064 decrease in Washington DC leasing activity due to PTO leases expiring during the first half of 2005.

 

(3)                      Reflects a $2,462 write-off of HIP’s receivable arising from the straight-lining of rent upon termination of the lease during the six months ended June 30, 2005 offset by higher rents on space relet during 2004, including leases with WPP Group (228,000 square feet) in the third quarter of 2004 and the Chicago Sun Times (127,000 square feet) in the second quarter of 2004.

 

(4)                      Of this increase, $1,845 relates to the true-up of estimated 2004 real estate tax and CAM expense reimbursement billings in June 2005.

 

(5)                      Primarily due to lower real estate tax reimbursements from tenants based on the finalization of 2003 real estate taxes in September 2004.

 

(6)                      Reflects lease termination income of $13,362 received from HIP at 7 West 34th Street in January 2005.

 

(7)                      Primarily due to $1,250 of income received during the first quarter of 2005 to terminate a Washington DC construction agreement.

Notes to preceding tabular information:

 

(1)                      Results primarily from increases in New York Office operating expenses, including (i) $3,020 in real estate taxes, (ii)  $1,656 in utility costs, (iii) $1,474 in bad debt expense and (iv) $1,295 due to higher repairs and maintenance expenses.

 

(2)                      This increase is partially due to a bad debt recovery in 2004 of $840 related to former Bradlees’ leases.

 

(3)                      Primarily due to lower real estate taxes based on the finalization of 2003 taxes in September 2004.

 

(4)                      Primarily due to additions to buildings and improvements during 2004.

 

(5)                      Primarily due to (i) a $1,117 savings in payroll and benefits over the prior year’s six months as a result of exiting the CESCR third party representation business, of which $616 relates to 2004 severance, and (ii) a $1,031 decrease in New York office professional fees and administrative expenses.

 

(6)                      Primarily relates to an increase in payroll and benefits.

 

(7)                      The increase in general and administrative expenses results primarily from a $4,106 increase in payroll and benefits.

 

Income Applicable to Alexander’s

 

Income applicable to Alexander’s (loan interest income, management, leasing, development and commitment fees, and equity in income) was $21,709,000 before the Company’s $26,174,000 share of net gain on sale of condominiums and its $9,467,000 share of Alexander’s SAR expense or $38,416,000, net in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to income of $15,334,000 before the Company’s $12,084,000 share of SAR expense or $3,250,000, net in the prior year’s six months.  This net increase of $35,166,000 resulted primarily from (i) a net gain of $26,174,000 related to the sale of condominiums at Alexander’s 731 Lexington Avenue property (ii) income from Alexander’s 731 Lexington Avenue property which was placed into service subsequent to the second quarter of 2004 and (iii) a decrease of $2,617,000 for the Company’s share of Alexander’s SAR expense.

Limited Partners’ Interest in the Operating Partnership

 

Limited partners’ interest in the Operating Partnership was $51,170,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $39,468,000 for the prior year’s six months, an increase of $11,702,000.  This increase results primarily from higher net income subject to allocation to the minority limited partners partially offset by a lower minority limited partnership ownership interest due to the conversion of operating partnership Class A units into common shares of the Company subsequent to June 30, 2004.

 

Perpetual Preferred Unit Distributions of the Operating Partnership

 

Perpetual preferred unit distributions of the Operating Partnership were $33,693,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $34,246,000 for the prior year’s six months, a decrease of $553,000.  This decrease resulted primarily from the redemption of $80,000,000 of the Company’s 8.25% Series D-3 preferred units in January 2005, partially offset by (i) distributions to holders of the 7.20% Series D-11 and 6.55% D-12 units issued in May and December 2004 and (ii) a $2,200,000 write-off of the Series D-3 issuance costs upon their redemption.

(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 (decrease) were $170,518 and 4.7% for the New York portfolio and $147,059 and (5.0%) for the Washington DC portfolio.

(3)                      EBITDA and the same store percentage increase reflect the commencement of leases with WPP Group (228,000 square feet) in the third quarter of 2004 and the Chicago Sun Times (127,000 square feet) in the second quarter of 2004.  The same store percentage increase exclusive of these leases was 2.1%.

(4)                      Primarily represents $13,362 of lease termination fee income received from a tenant at 7 West 34th Street, partially offset by $2,462 for the write-off of the tenant’s receivable arising from the straight-lining of rent.  See page 52 for details.

(5)                      Not comparable because prior to November 4, 2004, (date the operations of AmeriCold Logistics were combined with Americold), the Company reflected its equity in the rent Americold received from AmeriCold Logistics.  Subsequent thereto, the Company reflects its equity in the operations of the combined company.  See page 65 for condensed pro forma operating results of Americold for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, giving effect to the acquisition of its tenant, AmeriCold Logistics, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2004.

Investment in Americold Realty Trust

 

Prior to November 18, 2004, the Company owned a 60% interest in the Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership, which owned Americold, and accounted for its interest under the equity method.  On November 18, 2004 the Company’s investment in Americold was consolidated into the accounts of the Company.  The following is a pro forma presentation of the results of operations of Americold for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, giving effect to the acquisition of AmeriCold Logistics as if it had occurred on January 1, 2004.

Revenue increased by $12,880,000 from the prior year’s quarter and $23,759,000 from the prior year’s six months.  These increases were primarily due to (i) an increase in Americold’s transportation management services business from both new and existing customers, of which $4,019,000 relates to the quarter and $10,415,000 relates to the six months, (ii) an increase in new managed warehouse contracts, net of a contract termination in the fourth quarter of 2004, of which $4,318,000 relates to the quarter and $5,361,000 relates to the six months and (iii) an increase in handling, storage and accessorial services.

 

Gross margin from owned warehouses was $38,258,000, or 34.7%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $34,483,000, or 32.4%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $3,775,000.  Gross margin from owned warehouses was $76,265,000, or 34.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $71,522,000, or 33.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $4,743,000.  These increases were primarily attributable to higher occupancy, lower operating costs and improved productivity at the Atlanta and Allentown facilities.

 

Gross margin from other operations (i.e., transportation, management services and managed warehouses) was $3,913,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $2,578,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1,335,000. Gross margin from other operations was $7,573,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $5,505,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $2,068,000.   These increases were primarily the result of an increase in business in transportation management services from both new and existing customers and an increase in margin from new and existing managed warehouse customers.

 

Interest expense increased by $1,053,000 from the prior year’s quarter and $2,105,000 from the prior year’s six months.  These increases were primarily due to higher average debt outstanding as Americold obtained mortgage financing on 28 of its unencumbered properties in February 2004 and higher interest rates.

 

General and administrative expense increased by $851,000 from the prior year’s quarter and decreased by $78,000 from the prior year’s six months.  The increase from the prior year’s quarter resulted primarily from an increase in tax and bonus provisions, partially offset by a decrease in other benefits and travel and entertainment expenses.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“FFO”)

 

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 

FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and industry analysts as supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs.  FFO and FFO per diluted share should be evaluated along with GAAP net income and income per diluted share (the most directly comparable GAAP measures), as well as cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, in evaluating the operating performance of equity REITs.  Management believes that FFO and FFO per diluted share are helpful to investors as supplemental performance measures because these measures exclude the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time.  Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs.

 

FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as disclosed in the Company’s Statements of Cash Flows.  FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

 

The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of income per share are disclosed in footnote 11 - Income Per Share, in the Company’s notes to consolidated financial statements on page 22 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

FFO for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005, and 2004

 

FFO applicable to common shares plus assumed conversions was $215,802,000, or $1.51 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $159,674,000 or $1.22 per diluted share for the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $56,128,000 or $.29 per share.  FFO applicable to common shares plus assumed conversions was $465,011,000 or $3.35 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $288,649,000 or $2.24 per diluted share for the prior year’s six months, an increase of $176,362,000 or $1.11 per share.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

 

The Company has exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates.  Market interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Company.  Various financial instruments exist which would allow management to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s cash flows and earnings.

 

As of June 30, 2005, 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 management’s analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies.

 

The Company’s exposure to a change in interest rates on its consolidated and non-consolidated debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:

(1)           Includes $506,942 for the Company’s 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 three month LIBOR rate (4.11% if set on June 30, 2005).  In accordance with SFAS No. 133, as amended, the Company is required to fair value the debt at each reporting period.  At June 30, 2005, the fair value adjustment was $7,227, and is included in the balance of the senior unsecured notes above.

 

The fair value of the Company’s 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 $14,912,000 at June 30, 2005.

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company has the following derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment:

 

As a result of the merger between Sears and Kmart on March 30, 2005, the Company’s derivative position representing 7,916,900 Sears common shares became a derivative position representing 2,491,819 common shares of Sears Holding valued at $323,936,000 based on the $130.00 per share closing price on March 30, 2005, the date of the merger, and $146,663,000 of cash.  As a result, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $58,443,000 based on the fair value of the Company’s derivative position after the exchange of these underlying assets.  Because this derivative position does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on the Company’s consolidated statement of income.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded $37,860,000 and $45,759,000 of income, respectively from the mark-to-market of this derivative position based on Sears Holding’s closing share price of $149.87 on June 30, 2005.

 

Under a warrant agreement with GMH Communities L.P., the Company holds 5.7 million warrants to purchase partnership units of GMH at an adjusted exercise price of $8.82 per share.  Because these warrants are derivatives and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the warrants at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on the Company’s consolidated statement of income.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded $12,741,000 and $2,563,000 of income, respectively, from the mark-to-market of these warrants based on GCT’s closing stock price on the NYSE of $13.85 per share on June 30, 2005.

 

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:  Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company determined that the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2004 included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2004 should be restated.  The restatement, which has been made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, was a result of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as the control over the proper classification of the cash distributions received from partially-owned entities to determine whether they related to a return of capital or income did not operate effectively.  Subsequent to the filing of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we have involved additional personnel in the preparation and review of the consolidated statement of cash flows.  We believe that as of June 30, 2005 we have remediated this weakness.

 

There have not been any other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.                OTHER INFORMATION
 

Item 1.    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 the matters referred to below, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The following updates the discussion set forth under “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Stop & Shop

 

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, froze the Company’s right to re-allocate which effectively terminated the Company’s right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop.  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.  The Company removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  In January 2005 that court remanded the action to the New York Supreme Court.  On February 14, 2005, the Company served an answer in which it asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect.  On May 17, 2005, the Company served a motion for summary judgment.  On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment.  The hearing date for the motions has not been set as of the date of this filing.  The Company intends to pursue its claims against Stop & Shop vigorously.

On July 21, 2005, the Company acquired H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”), which owns 50% of the stock, directly or indirectly, in certain corporations that own real estate assets located in Virginia and Washington DC.  On July 22, 2005, two of the corporations, now owned 50% by the Company, filed a complaint against the Company, H Street and three parties affiliated with the sellers of H Street in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia alleging that the Company (i) encouraged H Street to breach its fiduciary duties to these corporations and (ii) interfered with prospective business and contractual relationships.  The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages and a rescission of the Company’s acquisition of H Street.  The Company believes that the complaint is without merit and that it will be successful in defending against this action.
