MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC. AND
1. | Organization and Description of Business |
The terms Maguire Properties, us, we and our as used in this report refer to Maguire Properties, Inc. Through our controlling interest in Maguire Properties, L.P., or the Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner, and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, including Maguire Properties Services, Inc. (the Services Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively known as the Services Companies), we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate located in the greater Los Angeles area of California consisting primarily of office properties, related parking garages and a hotel. We are a full service real estate company and we operate as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.
We were formed to succeed certain businesses of the Maguire Properties predecessor (the Predecessor), which was not a legal entity but rather a combination of numerous real estate entities collectively doing business as Maguire Partners, an owner, developer and acquirer of institutional-quality properties in the Los Angeles real estate market since 1965. We were incorporated, and the Operating Partnership was formed, in Maryland on June 26, 2002, and the Services Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 15, 2002, each in anticipation of our initial public offering of common stock (the IPO), which was consummated on June 27, 2003 concurrently with the consummation of various formation transactions. These transactions consolidated the ownership of our portfolio of properties and property interests, and a substantial majority of the real estate management, leasing and development business of the Predecessor, into the Operating Partnership and the Services Companies. From inception through June 27, 2003, neither we, the Operating Partnership nor the Services Companies had any operations.
On June 27, 2003, we commenced operations after completing the IPO, which consisted of the sale of 36,510,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $19.00, generating gross proceeds of approximately $693.7 million. The aggregate proceeds to our company, net of underwriters discount and offering costs, were approximately $624.4 million. On July 8, 2003, we issued an additional 5,476,500 shares of common stock, and received an additional $104.1 million of gross proceeds and $97.6 million in net proceeds as a result of the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option.
On January 23, 2004, we completed the offering of 10 million shares of our 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (liquidation preference $25.00 per share) for total gross proceeds of $250.0 million, including the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option. We used a portion of these proceeds to acquire Park Place, which is described in Note 9. The remainder will be used for investment and general corporate purposes.
Our operations are carried on primarily through the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including the Services Companies. Pursuant to contribution agreements among the owners of the Predecessor and the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership received a contribution of direct and indirect interests in connection with the IPO in certain of the properties, as well as certain assets of the management, leasing and real estate development operations of the Predecessor in exchange for limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership (Units). The Operating Partnership also acquired additional interests in certain properties from unaffiliated parties, which were paid for in cash. As of March 31, 2004, our company held a 79.5% common equity interest in the Operating Partnership.
Through the Operating Partnership, we own or have an interest in a portfolio of 13 commercial real estate properties consisting of nine office properties, one of which includes an adjacent undeveloped land parcel, a 350-room hotel, and three off-site parking structures. Through one of the Services Companies, we also manage and lease an office, hotel and retail property located in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth, Texas area, for which we earn customary fees and incentive fees. The management agreement between us and the entity
5
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
that owns this property will terminate if and when Robert F. Maguire III, our Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, no longer owns an interest in that property or is no longer bound by his non-competition agreement with us.
Our portfolio is located in three Southern California markets the Los Angeles Central Business District (the LACBD), the Tri-Cities area of Pasadena, Glendale and Burbank and the Cerritos sub-market. Our portfolio includes five office properties in the prime Bunker Hill area of the LACBD US Bank Tower, Gas Company Tower, KPMG Tower, Wells Fargo Tower, and One California Plaza and three off-site parking garages. In the Tri-Cities area, our portfolio includes an office property and the Westin Pasadena Hotel located at Plaza Las Fuentes in Pasadena, California, the Glendale Center office property in Glendale, California and a two-acre land parcel adjacent to the Glendale Center. In the Cerritos sub-market, we own the Cerritos Corporate Center Phase I and Phase II properties, collectively known as the AT&T Wireless Western Regional Headquarters.
The Operating Partnership has also entered into option agreements with entities controlled by Mr. Maguire under which we have the right to acquire a completed office property in Santa Monica, California, a completed office property in the Tri-Cities area and a 12.5% interest in an entity that owns two existing office buildings and adjacent developable land, each in West Los Angeles, California. Based on current market and property conditions, it is uncertain as to whether we will exercise any of these options in the near future or whether market and property conditions will warrant our exercise of any of those options prior to their expiration. The management agreements between us and the entities that own the option properties are coterminous with our options to purchase these properties.
2. | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation and Combination |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of our company include all of the accounts of Maguire Properties, Inc., the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Property interests contributed to the Operating Partnership by Mr. Maguire, and entities majority owned by him in exchange for Units have been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the contributed assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at the Predecessors historical cost basis. The pooling-of-interests method of accounting also requires the reporting of results of operations, for the period in which the combination occurred as though the entities had been combined at either the beginning of the period or inception. Prior to the combination, Maguire Properties and the Operating Partnership had no significant operations; therefore, the combined operations for periods prior to June 27, 2003, represent primarily the operations of the Predecessor. The combination did not require any material adjustments to conform the accounting policies of the separate entities. The remaining interests, which were acquired for cash and Units, have been accounted for as a purchase, and the excess of the purchase price over the related historical cost basis has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The accompanying combined financial statements of the Predecessor include interests in certain of our properties and the property management, leasing, acquisition and real estate development business of Maguire Partners Development, Ltd. The real estate entities included in the consolidated and combined financial statements have been consolidated or combined only for the periods that such entities were under control by us or the Predecessor. The equity method of accounting is utilized to account for investments in real estate entities over which we or the Predecessor have significant influence, but not control over major decisions, including the decision to sell or refinance the properties owned by such entities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated and combined financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements and the notes thereto included on our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired. Included in cash, under a separate bank account, are the proceeds from our 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.
Cash is invested with quality federally insured institutions that are members of the FDIC. Cash balances with institutions may be in excess of federally insured limits or may be invested in time deposits that are not insured by the institution, the FDIC, or any other government agency. We have not realized any losses in such cash investments and we believe that these investments are not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Income Taxes |
We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2003. We believe that we have been organized and have operated in a manner that will allow us to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2003, and we intend to continue to be organized and operate in this manner. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on our net income to the extent it is currently distributed to our stockholders.
However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including through actual annual operating results, asset diversification, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be organized or able to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.
We have elected to treat the Services Company as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a TRS). In general, a TRS may perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the provision to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. For the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations there is no tax provision for the TRS.

Earnings per Share |
Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the period.
The following is a summary of the elements used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2004 (in thousands except share and per share amounts):

Preferred Stock Issuance Costs and Dividends |
Underwriting commissions and other preferred stock issuance costs are reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital. Accrued dividends as of March 31, 2004 for our preferred stock are based on an annual rate of 7.625% rather than the amount that we declared on March 16, 2004. Such declaration includes dividends for April 2004.
Stock Options |
We apply the intrinsic value method in accounting for stock options issued under our incentive award plan at the date of consummation of our IPO. Accordingly, we did not record any compensation expense relating to such options. The stock-based compensation cost that we would have recorded from January 1, 2004 to March 31, 2004, had we used the fair value method, would have been $45,000.
Reclassifications |
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
3. | Minority Interests |
Minority interests relate to the interests in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by our company, which, at March 31, 2004, amounted to 20.5%. In conjunction with the formation of our company, certain persons and entities contributing ownership interests in the Predecessor properties to the Operating Partnership received Units. Limited partners who acquired Units in the formation transactions have the right, commencing on or after August 27, 2004, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their Units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of our common stock at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, we may elect to acquire those Units in exchange for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis after August 27, 2004, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. Upon consummation of our IPO, 22.8% of the carrying value of the net assets of the Operating Partnership was allocated to minority interests. As a result of the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option of 5,476,500 shares on July 8, 2003, the minority interests were reduced to 20.5%.

(1) | As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 7.92% during the term of this loan, excluding extension periods. Subsequently, however, we sold a similar interest rate cap instrument, effectively canceling out the 7.92% LIBOR cap. |
(2) | A one-year extension is available at our option. |
(3) | As required by this loan, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 3.5% during the term of this loan, excluding extension periods. Subsequently, however, we sold a similar interest rate cap instrument, effectively canceling out the 3.5% LIBOR cap. |
(4) | This loan must be repaid on the maturity date of the Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive Garage mortgage financing if the mortgage is not extended. |
(5) | This loan is subject to a LIBOR floor of 2%. This loan also requires a monthly interest floor differential payment during any month in which LIBOR is less than 2% per annum; such payment must be made until the principal balance of the Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive Garage senior mezzanine loan no longer exceeds $20.0 million, and is equal to the positive difference between 2% and LIBOR, times a notional amount that is initially $10.0 million, but which decreases dollar for dollar as the first $10.0 million of senior mezzanine loan principal is repaid. |
(6) | There are seven individual rates for this mortgage with interest rates ranging from 4.50% to 4.83% with an average interest rate of 4.68%. |
(7) | Two one-year extensions available at our option. |
The terms of our mortgage and mezzanine loans do not permit us to prepay the loans during specified lockout periods. We are permitted to defease the US Bank Tower and Wells Fargo Tower mortgage loans. The Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive Garage mortgage and mezzanine loans can be repaid during the lockout period if the lender consents, subject to a prepayment penalty of 5% of the outstanding principal amount of the loan. The KPMG Tower mortgage loan requires a prepayment penalty based on a formula described in the loan agreement. The Glendale Center mortgage loan may be prepaid in whole but not in part between the end of the lockout period and a permitted prepayment date subject to a prepayment penalty based on a formula described in the loan agreement. No prepayment

penalty applies to the Glendale Center mortgage loan after the permitted prepayment date. The One California Plaza mortgage loan may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, after November 1, 2006, subject to a prepayment penalty based on a formula described in the loan agreement. No prepayment penalty applies to the One California Plaza mortgage loan after October 1, 2010.
The Operating Partnership has a secured revolving credit facility with a group of banks led by Citicorp North America, Inc. and Wachovia Bank, N.A. The credit facility provides for borrowings up to $100 million ($84.1 million is available to us as of March 31, 2004) and bears interest at a rate ranging between LIBOR + 1.375% and LIBOR + 2.125% depending on our overall leverage. No amounts are outstanding under this facility as of March 31, 2004. This credit facility expires in June 2006 with an option to extend the term for one year at our option. The credit facility is secured by our ownership interests in Plaza Las Fuentes and Cerritos Corporate Center Phases I and II.
The terms of our credit facility include certain restrictions and covenants, which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition of assets. The terms also require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum amounts of tangible net worth, debt service coverage, fixed charge coverage and unencumbered property debt service coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, except to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we will not during any four consecutive fiscal quarters make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of 95% of funds from operations, as defined, for such period, subject to certain other adjustments. As of March 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to make an aggregate $591.8 million of indebtedness available for guarantee by Mr. Maguire, certain entities owned and controlled by Mr. Maguire and an entity controlled by certain former senior executives of the Predecessor. As of March 31, 2004, $591.8 million of our debt is subject to such guarantees.
5. | Incentive Award Plan |
We have adopted the Amended and Restated 2003 Incentive Award Plan of Maguire Properties, Inc., Maguire Properties Services, Inc. and Maguire Properties, L.P., (the Incentive Award Plan). The Incentive Award Plan provides for the grant to employees, directors and consultants of our company, the Operating Partnership and the Services Companies (and their respective subsidiaries) of stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock appreciation rights and other incentive awards. We have reserved a total of 4,816,861 shares of our common stock for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Award Plan, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the plan. Of this amount, 659,211 shares of restricted stock with an aggregate value of $12.5 million were issued upon consummation of the IPO. The holders of these shares have full voting rights and will receive any dividends paid but are prohibited from selling or transferring any shares until June 27, 2004. Of the 659,211 shares of restricted stock issued, 343,421 shares were fully vested upon consummation of the IPO, 263,158 shares vest equally over 5 years and 52,632 vest equally over 3 years, on the anniversary date of the IPO. In addition, we have committed to grant, subject to their continued employment with the company, to certain officers no later than one year following the consummation of the IPO shares of restricted stock with an aggregate value of $5.5 million. Additionally, we have also granted options to certain of our officers and independent directors to purchase 530,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $19.00 per share.

6. | Derivative Instruments |
We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the floating interest rate associated with $250.0 million of the Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive Garage loans. Net amounts received or paid under this agreement are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense when such amounts are incurred or earned. Our objective in using interest rate swap agreements is to effectively convert floating rate debt into fixed rate debt, and thereby limit our exposure to interest rate movements.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), as amended and interpreted by SFAS 138 and SFAS 149, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. 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, 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.
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 (loss), outside of earnings and subsequently recognized to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Under SFAS 133, our interest rate swap agreements qualify as cash flow hedges. The fair value of the swap outstanding as of March 31, 2004 was approximately $2.1 million, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our consolidated balance sheet net of the minority interest share of $0.4 million. Also included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2004 is $1.6 million of deferred gain on the swap that we sold, net of the minority interest share of $0.3 million. This gain is recognized as a reduction of interest expense over the life of the related loan as required by SFAS 133. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is dependent on changes in market interest rates and other market factors that affect the value of such agreements. Consequently, the estimated current fair values may significantly change during the term of the agreement. If the underlying floating rate loans were to be repaid prior to maturity, we would recognize in interest expense any unamortized gain or loss at the time of such early repayment.
7. | Unconsolidated and Uncombined Real Estate Entities |
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, we had no real estate entities that were accounted for as an unconsolidated investment using the equity method of accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Predecessor had indirect investments in the following properties, which were accounted for as uncombined investments using the equity method of accounting:

We have two reportable segments, office and hotel. The components of the office segment include rental of office, retail and storage space to tenants, parking and other tenant services. The components of the hotel segment include rooms, food and beverage, and other services to hotel guests.
Since we do not allocate investment in real estate between the hotel and the office portions of the Plaza Las Fuentes property, separate information related to investment in real estate, expenditures for investments in real estate, and depreciation and amortization is not available for the office and hotel segments.

On April 14, 2004, we acquired Park Place, a 1.7 million square foot Class A office park located on 15 acres in Orange County, California, for approximately $260.0 million excluding acquisition costs, from an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Advisors. The purchase price includes the assumption of existing mortgage and mezzanine financing of approximately $164.0 million at an overall rate of LIBOR + 2.06%. The remainder of the purchase price was funded with a portion of the proceeds of our 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock offering.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on managements beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words anticipate, believe, expect, intend, may, might, plan, estimate, project, should, will, result and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. 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 past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on tenants financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate); risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments; failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully; risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to such activities); risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates, and volatility in the securities markets; costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws; potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination; risks associated with our companys potential failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and possible adverse changes in tax and environmental laws; and risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in other sections of this report. In addition, we discussed a number of material risks in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our companys business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
Overview
We are a full service real estate company, and we operate as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We are the largest owner and operator of Class A office properties in the Los Angeles Central Business District (LACBD), and are primarily focused on owning and operating high quality office properties in the high-barrier-to-entry Southern California market. Our office properties are typically leased to high credit tenants for terms ranging from five to ten years. As of March 31, 2004, of our top 20
13
As of March 31, 2004, we own nine office properties with approximately 7.1 million net rentable square feet, a 350-room hotel with 266,000 square feet, total on- and off-site parking of approximately 3.3 million square feet and an undeveloped two-acre land parcel adjacent to an existing office property that we expect can support up to 300,000 net rentable square feet of office development. Through our services companies, we also manage and lease a 1.4 million square foot office, hotel and retail property located in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth, Texas area, a 91,398 square foot office building in Santa Monica, California and a 256,987 square foot office building in Pasadena, California for which we earn customary fees.
We receive income primarily from rental revenue (including tenant reimbursements) from our office properties, and to a lesser extent, from our hotel property and on- and off-site parking garages. We also receive income from providing management, leasing and real estate development services to our option and certain excluded properties. Factors we consider when we lease space include creditworthiness of the tenant, the length of the lease, the rental rates to be paid, costs of tenant concessions, operating costs and real estate taxes, vacancy and general economic factors.
Our company was formed on June 26, 2002. During the period from our formation until we commenced operations upon consummation of our IPO on June 27, 2003, we did not have any material corporate activity other than the issuance of 100 shares of our common stock to Robert F. Maguire III, our Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, in connection with the initial capitalization of our company. Because we believe that a discussion of the results of our company prior to the consummation of our IPO would not be meaningful, we have set forth below a discussion of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the Predecessors historical results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
The Predecessors combined historical financial information includes the following entities, which are a subset of the entities referred to collectively as the Maguire Organization for the period prior to June 27, 2003:
| the property management, leasing and real estate development operations of Maguire Partners Development, Ltd.; | |
| the real estate operations for certain entities that owned Plaza Las Fuentes and the Westin Pasadena Hotel, Gas Company Tower (beginning December 21, 2000), 808 South Olive garage (beginning December 21, 2000) and KPMG Tower (beginning September 13, 2002); and | |
| investments in and equity in net income or loss from the operations for certain real estate entities that owned Gas Company Tower, 808 South Olive garage and KPMG Tower prior to the dates listed above and US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower and Glendale Center for all periods prior to June 27, 2003. |
The owners of the Predecessor were Mr. Maguire and certain others who had minor ownership interests.
Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2004, our office portfolio was 91.0% leased to 193 tenants. Approximately 2.4% of our leased square footage expires during the remainder of 2004, approximately 8.5% of our leased square footage expires during 2005, and approximately 11.6% of our leased square footage expires during 2006. Our leasing strategy for 2004 focuses on negotiating renewals for leases scheduled to expire during the year, and identifying new tenants or existing tenants seeking additional space to occupy the spaces for which we are unable to negotiate such renewals. Additionally, we will seek to lease currently vacant space in our buildings with lower occupancy rates, including Wells Fargo Tower (82.8% leased at March 31,
14
The success of our leasing strategy will be dependent upon the general economic conditions in the United States and Southern California, and more specifically in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. We are optimistic that market conditions will improve this year. However, without strong job growth in our markets, we do not expect to see significant improvement in occupancy or rental rates during the year.
We believe that rental rates on leases expiring in 2004 are at or below those currently being achieved in our markets. Certain leases scheduled to expire in 2005 through 2007 have rental rates that exceed current market rental rates, and in some instances significantly exceed current market rental rates. We believe that if all such leases were renewed at current market rental rates, there would not be a significant adverse impact on future operations. However, we cannot give any assurance that leases will be renewed or that available space will be re-leased at rental rates equal to or above the current market rental rates.
On May 1, 2004, we hired William H. Flaherty as our new Senior Vice President of Leasing.
We are planning to renovate rooms and public space at the Westin Pasadena Hotel in the third and fourth quarters of 2004. We expect the operating performance of the hotel to be negatively impacted in these quarters due to rooms being out of service and reduced demand from guests during the renovation.
We believe that new real estate investments will have a significant impact on our future results of operations including the $260.0 million acquisition of Park Place, a 1.7 million square foot office complex located in Orange County, California that we acquired on April 14, 2004. Since our IPO, we have completed the acquisition of more than $585.0 million of office properties. On January 23, 2004, we completed the offering of 10 million shares of our 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for total gross proceeds of $250.0 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from such preferred stock offering principally to fund future acquisitions. Based on our current cash resources, we believe that currently we have the capacity to acquire approximately $420.0 million of new properties on a levered basis. There can be no assurance that we will complete additional acquisitions or successfully operate acquired properties. If we are not successful in completing additional acquisitions, our future results of operations could be negatively impacted due to the dilutive impact of the uninvested proceeds of our preferred stock offering.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003.
Our and the Predecessors results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not comparable due primarily to the impact of our IPO, our preferred stock offering, the acquisitions of additional interests in existing properties and their resulting consolidation, acquisition of other properties, our new debt and the repayment of a substantial portion of the debt we assumed upon the consummation of our IPO. To facilitate a meaningful analysis of the results of operations, presented below are the aggregate results of operations for properties that were consolidated or combined in our and the Predecessors financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (Gas Company Tower, Plaza Las Fuentes office, the Westin Pasadena Hotel, 808 South Olive Garage and KPMG Tower) together with the results of our property management, leasing and development operations. We refer to this as the Same Properties.
Additionally, we present results of operations included in our and the Predecessors consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 for each property that was accounted for using the equity method of accounting for the three months ended March 31, 2003, but was consolidated into our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004. We refer to these properties as the Additional Interests Properties and they consist of US Bank Tower and Wells
15
Finally, we present the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 for the properties that we acquired from third parties in June and November of 2003. We refer to these properties as the Acquisition Properties and they consist of Cerritos Corporate Center Phases I and II and One California Plaza.
Information for these properties for the comparable period in 2003 is not available; therefore further analysis of comparison of the results of operations of these properties for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the three months ended March 31, 2003 is not possible.

Rental Revenue
Total portfolio rental revenue increased by $24.4 million, or 169.8%, to $38.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Rental revenue for the Same Properties was comparable for the three months ended March 31, 2004 at $14.8 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2003 at $14.4 million. Although we experienced a decrease in occupancy for KPMG Tower for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003, our rental revenue for this property increased primarily due to the signing of new leases at higher rental rates than those leases that expired with larger square footage. The increase was also due to the amortization of the acquired lease obligations of below market leases related to purchase accounting entries recorded upon acquisition of the additional interests in KPMG Tower on September 13, 2002.
Rental revenue for the Additional Interests Properties increased $3.1 million, or 20.3%, to $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Rental revenue for the Additional Interests Properties for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is net of amortization of the value recorded for acquired above market leases and includes amortization of acquired lease obligations related to below market leases, both related to purchase accounting entries recorded upon acquisition of the additional interests in these properties. Amortization of acquired lease obligations resulted in an aggregate increase in rental revenue of $1.0 million for Wells Fargo Tower and Glendale Center for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to 2003 and amortization of acquired above market leases for US Bank Tower resulted in a decrease of rental revenue of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to 2003. Additionally, based on the percentage of interests acquired, a portion of the straight-line rent adjustment is calculated from the date of acquisition of the additional interests through the end of the lease terms, and a portion of the straight-line rent adjustment relating to existing interests is calculated from inception of the leases through the end of the lease terms. These purchase accounting related entries had the impact of increasing rental revenue for the Additional Interests Properties subsequent to the acquisition of additional interests, since free rent periods tend to be at the beginning of our leases.
17
Rental revenue for the Additional Interests Properties also increased primarily as a result of increased occupancy for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 experienced by US Bank Tower. Andersen LLP, a former tenant in US Bank Tower, vacated its space in January 2003. This space remained unoccupied until US Bank commenced its lease in April 2003. As a result, US Bank Tower experienced an increase in rental revenue of $0.7 million related to this space for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Finally, Acquisition Properties, contributed $6.0 million in rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Tenant Reimbursements
Total portfolio tenant reimbursement revenue increased $12.6 million, or 172.8%, to $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Tenant reimbursement revenue for the Same Properties increased $0.5 million, or 7.1%, to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, primarily as a result of an increase in certain property expenses, particularly real estate taxes, offset by a decrease in insurance premiums, which are discussed below. Tenant reimbursements were also affected by a small increase in occupancy for Gas Company Tower and despite a decrease in occupancy for KPMG Tower, tenant reimbursements increased slightly due to a slight increase in reimbursable expenses and the new leases that replaced a portion of expiring leases allowed higher reimbursements than the expiring leases. Expenses eligible for reimbursement are generally allocated on a pro rata basis to leaseable space and we do not receive reimbursement of expenses allocated to vacant space.
Tenant reimbursement revenue for the Additional Interests Properties increased $1.1 million, or 15.0%, to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, due, in part, to increases resulting from increased expenses, particularly real estate tax expenses, offset by a decrease in insurance premiums, which are discussed below. Tenant reimbursement revenue also increased due to increased occupancy at US Bank Tower, discussed above, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Acquisition Properties contributed $3.9 million in tenant reimbursements revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Hotel Operations
Hotel operation revenue increased $0.7 million, or 15.8%, to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Hotel operating and maintenance expense increased $0.2 million, or 5.9%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in revenue for the Westin Pasadena Hotel was due to an increase in both our occupancy rates and our average daily rate. Our occupancy for the three months ended March 31, 2003 suffered from the conversion from a Doubletree to a Westin hotel, which began on December 20, 2002. Contributing to the increase in our room rates was a change in contractual terms with a major airline whereby the airline decreased the number of rooms they reserved on a nightly basis at a reduced rate. The rooms were made available for other groups and transient patrons and were rented at the market rate. Hotel operating and maintenance expenses increased in part due to increased occupancy of the hotel. The increase was mitigated by more efficient operations of the hotel departments for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003, which suffered from inefficiencies related to the conversion of the hotel from a Doubletree to a Westin hotel.
18
We expect that our renovation activities during the third and fourth quarters of 2004 will negatively impact hotel operations, but we are cautiously optimistic that once the renovations are completed they will have an immediate positive impact on our room rates and occupancy levels.
Parking Revenue
Total portfolio parking revenue increased $4.6 million, or 151.4%, to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Parking revenue for the Same Properties and Additional Interests Properties increased 3.7% and 7.3%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003, primarily due to the increase in contractual parking rates for most properties in our portfolio as of July 1, 2003. US Bank Tower also experienced an increase in parking revenue due to its increased occupancy for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Acquisition Properties contributed $0.9 million in parking revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Management, Leasing and Development Services to Affiliates Revenue
Total portfolio management, leasing and development services to affiliates revenue decreased $0.8 million, or 53.2%, to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease relates primarily to increased elimination of inter-company management and leasing fees for the three months ended March 31, 2004 resulting from our increased ownership percentage in the Additional Interests Properties partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in Western Asset Plaza development fees. Development of Western Asset Plaza was completed in January 2004.
Interest and Other Revenue
Total portfolio interest and other revenue increased $0.4 million, or 91.2%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Interest and other revenue for the Same Properties increased $0.3 million, or 72.1%, to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $0.4 million the three months ended March 31, 2003, primarily due to interest earned on the proceeds from our $250.0 million preferred stock offering and a lease termination fee from a tenant in Plaza Las Fuentes which has reduced its leased space.
Interest and other revenue for the Additional Interests Properties decreased $6.0 million to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 related primarily to a $5.0 million lease termination fee earned in the three months ended March 31, 2003 for the Andersen LLP lease termination in US Bank Tower. The decrease is also due to a reduction in interest income relating to a note receivable from a US Bank Tower tenant that was repaid in May 2003 and a decrease in interest income relating to a note receivable from a member of Glendale Center that was repaid in August 2003 when we acquired the remaining third party interests in Glendale Center.
Rental Property Operating and Maintenance Expense
Total portfolio rental property operating and maintenance expense increased by $8.9 million, or 140.1%, to $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Rental property operating and maintenance expense for the Same Properties decreased $0.6 million or 9.6% to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $6.4 million for the three
19
Rental property operating and maintenance expense for the Additional Interests Properties decreased $1.6 million to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The 2004 total does not include any property management fees as such fees are eliminated in consolidation. The 2003 total includes $0.9 million of management fees to the Predecessor. The Predecessor eliminated its percentage interest in such fees against its equity in income or loss for the Additional Interest Properties. Removing the effect of the management fees from the increase in rental property operating and maintenance expense, the decrease in such expense for the Additional Interests Properties is $0.7 million or 9.3% of the 2003 total excluding management fees. This is comparable to the decrease in rental property operating and maintenance expense experienced by the Same Properties and the decrease relates primarily to the reduction in insurance premiums, which is discussed above.
Acquisition Properties contributed $2.8 million in rental property operating and maintenance expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Real Estate Taxes
Total portfolio real estate taxes increased $3.7 million, or 237.8%, to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Real estate taxes for the Same Properties and the Additional Interests Properties increased by 28.8% and 27.3%, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increases are primarily due to additional accruals for real estate taxes made in anticipation of a reassessment of the properties by the taxing authorities as a result of our IPO, which may result in higher assessed values and, therefore, higher property taxes.
Acquisition Properties contributed $0.9 million in real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Parking Expense
Total portfolio parking expenses increased $1.4 million, or 219.5%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Parking expenses were relatively stable for both the Same Properties and Additional Interests Properties.
Acquisition Properties contributed $0.3 million in parking expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
General and Administrative Expense
Total portfolio general and administrative expense increased $0.2 million, or 4.2%, to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increases are primarily due to expense related to accrued compensation expense related to unvested stock awards, as a result of our IPO and the addition of new personnel after our IPO, along with the addition of expenses relating to operating as a public company. The increases are substantially offset by decreases primarily related to a $1.0 million transaction-related bonus earned by a former employee for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
20
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Total portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $11.6 million, or 210.0%, to $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the Same Properties increased $1.3 million or 22.9% to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 primarily as a result of depreciation and amortization recorded for tenant improvements and lease costs incurred for leases commencing in late March 2003 and November 2003.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the Additional Interests Properties increased $2.1 million or 42.2%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 primarily as a result of depreciation and amortization recorded for amounts capitalized in connection with acquiring the additional interests in these properties.
Acquisition Properties contributed $3.3 million in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Interest Expense
Total portfolio interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 16.6%, to $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Interest expense for the Same Properties decreased $5.4 million, or 52.7%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, primarily due to repayment of the KPMG Tower mezzanine loan, repayment of the loan on the Plaza Las Fuentes property, both upon consummation of our IPO, reduced principal balances on our Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive Garage mezzanine loans and lower borrowing rates on our variable rate debt during the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Interest expense for the Additional Interests Properties decreased $4.6 million, or 38.2%, to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 primarily due to decreases in the borrowing rates on our debt, the repayment upon consummation of the IPO of the other secured debt for US Bank Tower, and the $64.3 million reverse purchase agreement obtained on February 5, 2003 partially offset by increases related to increased mortgage debt on US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower and Glendale Center.
Acquisition Properties contributed $1.8 million in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Other Expenses
Total portfolio other expenses increased $0.5 million, or 367.4%, to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Other expenses for the Same Properties were comparable for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.
Other expenses decreased $2.6 million for the Additional Interests Properties for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003, due to the write-off of unamortized capitalized leasing costs related to the Andersen LLP lease at US Bank Tower, which was terminated in January 2003.
Acquisition Properties contributed $0.5 million in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
21
Equity in Net Income of Real Estate Entities.
Total portfolio equity in net income of uncombined real estate entities decreased $0.9 million to $0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 due the consolidation of all the properties in our portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2004. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 Glendale Center, Wells Fargo Tower and US Bank Tower were accounted for using the equity method.
Minority Interests
Minority interests increased $1.4 million, to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as a result of allocating 20.5% of the difference between the consolidated income before minority interests and preferred stock dividends to the interests in our operating partnership (Units) that are not owned by us for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Minority interest for the three months ended March 31, 2003 related to a minority interest held by a third party in the Gas Company Tower, which we acquired upon consummation of our IPO.
Funds from Operations
We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, extraordinary items, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other equity REITs FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. FFO also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Available Borrowings, Cash Balances and Capital Resources
Our operating partnership has a $100 million secured revolving credit facility with a group of banks led by Citicorp North America, Inc. and Wachovia Bank, N.A. This credit facility is secured by our interests in the entities that own Plaza Las Fuentes and Cerritos Corporate Center Phase I and Phase II. The credit facility has a borrowing limit based on a percentage of the value of our properties that secure this credit facility. $84.1 million is available to us as of March 31, 2004. The credit facility bears interest at a rate ranging between LIBOR + 1.375% and LIBOR + 2.125% depending on our operating partnerships overall leverage. The credit facility matures in June 2006 with an option to extend the term for one year; we currently have not drawn on the credit facility. The terms of our credit facility include certain restrictions and covenants, which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition of assets. The terms also require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum amounts of tangible net worth, debt service coverage, fixed charge coverage and unencumbered property debt service coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, except to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we will not during any four consecutive fiscal quarters make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of 95% of funds from operations for such period, subject to certain other adjustments. As of March 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
As of March 31, 2004, we had $309.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, including $31.3 million in restricted cash, compared to $82.9 million in cash and cash equivalents including $39.2 million in restricted cash, as of December 31, 2003. Restricted cash primarily consists of interest bearing cash deposits required by our mortgage loans and cash impound accounts for real estate taxes and insurance and leasing reserves as required by several of our mortgage loans. As of March 31, 2004, approximately $8.5 million of tenant improvement and leasing commission reserves remain from the $35.2 million that was reserved upon consummation of our IPO.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity and capital requirements from existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and generally through net cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from our credit facility. We believe these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity needs over the next twelve months, including recurring non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures and upgrades to our hotel, debt service requirements, dividend and distribution payments, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity and capital requirements such as scheduled principal repayments, development costs, property acquisitions costs, if any, and other non-recurring capital expenditures through net cash provided by operations, and refinancing of existing indebtedness, potential
23
Distributions
We are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we intend to make, but are not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to preferred stockholders, common stockholders and Unit holders from cash flow from operating activities. All such distributions are at the discretion of the board of directors. We may be required to use borrowings under the credit facility, if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our REIT status. We consider market factors and our companys performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels. Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders and Unit holders are invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities, which are consistent with our companys intention to maintain its qualification as a REIT.
Since our IPO, we have paid quarterly dividends on our common stock and Units at a rate of $0.40 per common share and Unit, equivalent to an annual rate of $1.60 per common share and common Unit.
Recent Developments
On January 23, 2004, we completed the offering of 10 million shares of our 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (liquidation preference $25.00 per share) for total gross proceeds of $250.0 million, including the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option. We intend to use the proceeds from such offering for investment and general corporate purposes.
On April 14, 2004, we acquired Park Place, a 1.7 million Class A office park located on 15 acres in Orange County, California, for approximately $260.0 million, excluding acquisition costs, from an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Advisors. The purchase price includes the assumptions of existing mortgage and mezzanine financing of approximately $164.0 million at LIBOR + 2.06%. The remainder of the purchase price was funded with the proceeds of our 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock offering.
On March 16, 2004, we declared a dividend to common stockholders of record and a distribution to common Unit holders of record, in each case as of March 31, 2004, of $0.40 per common share and common Unit, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The dividend and distribution are payable on April 30, 2004.
On March 16, 2004, we declared our first dividend to series A preferred stockholders of record as of March 31, 2004 of $0.51892 per share of preferred stock. This dividend is payable for the prorated period from and including the preferred stock offering closing date of January 23, 2004, to and including April 30, 2004. The dividend is payable on April 30, 2004.
Indebtedness
As of March 31, 2004, we had approximately $1.21 billion of outstanding consolidated debt. This indebtedness was comprised of six mortgages secured by seven of our properties (the US Bank, Gas Company, Wells Fargo and KPMG Towers, One California Plaza, Glendale Center and 808 South Olive garage) and two mezzanine loans secured by a pledge of the equity interests of the fee owners of 808 South Olive garage and Gas Company Tower. The weighted average interest rate on this indebtedness as of March 31, 2004 was 4.25% (based on the 30-day LIBOR rate at March 31, 2004 of 1.09%). No scheduled loan principal payments will be due on this indebtedness until August 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2004, our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately 42.7% of our total market capitalization of $2.8 billion (based on a common stock price of $25.60 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on March 31, 2004). Our ratio of debt and preferred stock to total market

The credit facility and certain other secured debt agreements contain covenants and restrictions requiring the company to meet certain financial ratios and reporting requirements. Some of the more restrictive covenants include minimum debt service coverage ratios, a maximum total liabilities to total assets ratio, a maximum total secured debt to total assets ratio, a minimum cash flow to debt service and fixed charges ratio, a minimum consolidated tangible net worth and a limitation of development activities as compared to total assets. Non-compliance with any one or more of the covenants and restrictions could result in the full or partial principal balance of the associated debt becoming immediately due and payable. Our company was in compliance with all its covenants at March 31, 2004.

Off Balance Sheet Items
We had no off balance sheet items as of March 31, 2004. We own 100% of all of our office, hotel and parking garage properties subject only to certain ground and airspace leases.
Comparison of Cash Flows for Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 and Three Months Ended March 2003
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented.
Cash and cash equivalents were $278.2 million and $3.3 million as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $10.6 million. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the third party interests in various real estate entities/properties subsequent to March 31, 2003, including US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower, Cerritos Corporate Center Phases I and II, Glendale Center, and One California Plaza. The operating cash flows from these real estate properties were not included in the combined financial results of the Predecessor during the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $54.8 million primarily due to a $50.6 million decrease in cash paid to acquire real estate; $59.6 million was paid to acquire additional interests in Wells Fargo Tower in February 2003 compared to $9.0 million paid during the three months ended March 31, 2004 for deposits on the Park Place property, which we acquired in April 2004.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $168.7 million. The increase was primarily due to the net proceeds received from the sale of our preferred stock in January 2004, offset by payments of dividends to our common stockholders and distributions to Unit holders in January 2004 and net proceeds from other secured loans during the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Inflation
Substantially all of our office leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above. Our hotel property is able to change room rates on a daily basis, so the impact of higher inflation can often be passed on to customers. However, a weak economic environment may restrict our ability to raise room rates to offset rising costs.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Our future income, cash flows and fair values of financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use some derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.
As of March 31, 2004, we had outstanding approximately $1,211.3 million of consolidated debt, of which approximately $475.0 million, or 39.2% of our total consolidated debt, was variable rate debt. With respect to the $475.0 million principal amount of the variable rate debt, we have entered into a four-year interest rate swap agreement in the amount of $250.0 million, to effectively fix the index (LIBOR) portion of the interest rates at approximately 2.17%. As a result, as of March 31, 2004, approximately 81.4% of our total indebtedness was subject to fixed interest rates.
To determine the fair value, the fixed rate debt is discounted at a rate based on an estimate of current lending rates, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the notes
27
If, after consideration of the interest rate swaps described above, interest rates were to increase by 10% of the average federal government treasury securities yield rates for our portfolio or 40 basis points, the increase in interest expense on the unhedged variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.9 million annually. If interest rates were to increase by 40 basis points, the fair value of our $736.3 million principal amount of outstanding fixed rate debt would decrease by approximately $18.4 million and the fair market value of our swap agreements would increase by $3.1 million. If interest rates were to decrease by 40 basis points the decrease in interest expense on the unhedged variable rate debt would be approximately $0.9 million annually and the fair value of our $736.3 million principal amount of outstanding fixed rate debt would increase by approximately $18.9 million and the fair value of our swap agreements would decrease by $3.1 million.
Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
28
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Tax Litigation Matter
We are facing a tax litigation matter, which was filed in the United States Tax Court on September 18, 2000, and which relates to depreciation of the cost of certain development rights that one of our Predecessor entities paid to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles in connection with the development of US Bank Tower and Gas Company Tower. The IRS asserts that these costs should be treated as non-depreciable costs associated with the land. If the IRSs view were to prevail in tax court, we would lose approximately $3.5 million in depreciation deductions in each of the next ten fiscal years. The trial was held on March 17, 2004, and a decision in the matter is expected shortly. Although an outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty, we believe that we will not incur a material loss in connection with this matter.
Other Litigation or Claims
In the ordinary course of our business, we are frequently subject to tort claims and other claims and administrative proceedings, none of which we currently believe would have a material adverse effect on us.
