ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

 

GENERAL

Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with its subsidiaries, the “Operating Partnership”), is a majority-owned subsidiary of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”). The Operating Partnership owns and operates a real estate portfolio comprised predominantly of Class A office and office/flex properties located primarily in the Northeast. The Operating Partnership performs substantially all commercial real estate leasing, management, acquisition, development and construction services on an in-house basis. The Operating Partnership was formed on May 31, 1994. The Operating Partnership’s executive offices are located at 11 Commerce Drive, Cranford, New Jersey 07016, and its telephone number is (908) 272-8000. The Corporation has an internet website at www.mack-cali.com.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership owned or had interests in 273 properties, aggregating approximately 29.6 million square feet, plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”). The Properties are comprised of: (a) 268 wholly-owned or Operating Partnership-controlled properties consisting of 162 office buildings and 96 office/flex buildings aggregating approximately 28.3 million square feet, six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, two stand-alone retail properties totaling approximately 17,300 square feet, and two land leases (collectively, the “Consolidated Properties”); and (b) three office buildings and one office/flex building aggregating approximately 836,000 square feet, and a 350-room hotel, which are owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Operating Partnership has investment interests. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to square feet represent net rentable area. As of December 31, 2004, the office, office/flex, industrial/warehouse and stand-alone retail properties included in the Consolidated Properties were 91.2 percent leased to approximately 2,100 tenants. Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future, and leases that expire at the period end date. Excluded from percentage leased at December 31, 2004 was a non-strategic, non-core 318,224 square foot property acquired through a deed in lieu of foreclosure, which was 12.7 percent leased at December 31, 2004 and subsequently sold on February 4, 2005. Leases that expire as of the period end date aggregate 439,697 square feet, or 1.5 percent of the net rentable square footage. The Properties are located in nine states, primarily in the Northeast, and the District of Columbia. See Item 2: Properties.

 

The general partner of the Operating Partnership is the Corporation, which has elected to be treated and operated so as to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The common stock, par value $0.01, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Pacific Exchange under the symbol “CLI.” Substantially all of the Corporation’s interests in the Properties are held through, and its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership, or through entities controlled by the Operating Partnership. As of February 25, 2005, 61,443,927 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. Also, as of February 25, 2005, the Corporation owned an 81.6 percent general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, assuming conversion of all preferred limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership into common limited partnership units. Without giving effect to the preferred limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership, the Corporation would own an 89.0 percent general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. As used herein, the term “Units” refers to common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. Units are redeemable for an equal number of shares of Common Stock or cash.

 

The Operating Partnership’s strategy has been to focus its operations, acquisition and development of office properties in markets and sub-markets where it believes it is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator. The Operating Partnership will continue this strategy by expanding through acquisitions and/or development in Northeast markets where it has, or can achieve, similar status. The Operating Partnership believes that its Properties have excellent locations and access and are well-maintained and professionally managed. As a result, the Operating Partnership believes that its Properties attract high quality tenants and achieve among the highest rental, occupancy and tenant retention rates within their markets. The Operating Partnership also believes that its extensive market knowledge provides it with a significant competitive advantage, which is further enhanced by its strong reputation for, and emphasis on, delivering highly responsive, professional management services. See “Business Strategies.”

BUSINESS STRATEGIES

Operations

Reputation: The Operating Partnership has established a reputation as a highly-regarded landlord with an emphasis on delivering quality tenant services in buildings it owns and/or manages. The Operating Partnership believes that its continued success depends in part on enhancing its reputation as an operator of choice, which will facilitate the retention of current tenants and the attraction of new tenants. The Operating Partnership believes it provides a superior level of service to its tenants, which should in turn allow the Operating Partnership to outperform the market with respect to occupancy rates, as well as improve tenant retention.

 

Communication with tenants: The Operating Partnership emphasizes frequent communication with tenants to ensure first-class service to the Properties. Property managers generally are located on site at the Properties to provide convenient access to management and to ensure that the Properties are well-maintained. Property management’s primary responsibility is to ensure that buildings are operated at peak efficiency in order to meet both the Operating Partnership’s and tenants’ needs and expectations. Property managers additionally budget and oversee capital improvements and building system upgrades to enhance the Properties’ competitive advantages in their markets and to maintain the quality of the Operating Partnership’s properties.

 

Additionally, the Operating Partnership’s in-house leasing representatives develop and maintain long-term relationships with the Operating Partnership’s diverse tenant base and coordinate leasing, expansion, relocation and build-to-suit opportunities within the Operating Partnership’s portfolio. This approach allows the Operating Partnership to offer office space in the appropriate size and location to current or prospective tenants in any of its sub-markets.

 

Growth

The Operating Partnership plans to continue to own and operate a portfolio of properties in high-barrier-to-entry markets, with a primary focus in the Northeast. The Operating Partnership’s primary objectives are to maximize operating cash flow and to enhance the value of its portfolio through effective management, acquisition, development and property sales strategies, as follows:

 

Internal Growth: The Operating Partnership seeks to maximize the value of its existing portfolio through implementing operating strategies designed to produce the highest effective rental and occupancy rates and lowest tenant installation cost within the markets that it operates. The Operating Partnership continues to pursue internal growth through re-leasing space at higher effective rents with contractual rent increases and developing or redeveloping space for its diverse base of high credit tenants, including IBM Corporation, Morgan Stanley and Allstate Insurance Company. In addition, the Operating Partnership seeks economies of scale through volume discounts to take advantage of its size and dominance in particular sub-markets, and operating efficiencies through the use of in-house management, leasing, marketing, financing, accounting, legal, development and construction services.

 

Acquisitions: The Operating Partnership also believes that growth opportunities exist through acquiring operating properties or properties for redevelopment with attractive returns in its core Northeast sub-markets where, based on its expertise in leasing, managing and operating properties, it believes it is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator. The Operating Partnership intends to acquire, invest in or redevelop additional properties that: (i) are expected to provide attractive initial yields with potential for growth in cash flow from operations; (ii) are well-located, of high quality and competitive in their respective sub-markets; (iii) are located in its existing sub-markets or in sub-markets in which the Operating Partnership can become a significant and preferred owner and operator; and (iv) it believes have been under-managed or are otherwise capable of improved performance through intensive management, capital improvements and/or leasing that should result in increased effective rental and occupancy rates.

 

Development: The Operating Partnership seeks to selectively develop additional properties where it believes such development will result in a favorable risk-adjusted return on investment in coordination with the above operating strategies. Such development primarily will occur: (i) when leases have been executed prior to construction; (ii) in stable

 

4

 

 



 

core Northeast sub-markets where the demand for such space exceeds available supply; and (iii) where the Operating Partnership is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator.

 

Property Sales: While management’s principal intention is to own and operate its properties on a long-term basis, it periodically assesses the attributes of each of its properties, with a particular focus on the supply and demand fundamentals of the sub-markets in which they are located. Based on these ongoing assessments, the Operating Partnership may, from time to time, decide to sell any of its properties.

 

Financial

The Operating Partnership currently intends to maintain a ratio of debt-to-undepreciated assets (total debt of the Operating Partnership as a percentage of total undepreciated assets) of 50 percent or less. As of December 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership’s total debt constituted approximately 37.9 percent of total undepreciated assets of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership has three investment grade credit ratings. Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) have each assigned their BBB rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. S&P and Fitch have also assigned their BBB- rating to existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Corporation. Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) has assigned its Baa2 rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and its Baa3 rating to existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Corporation. Although there is no limit in the Operating Partnership’s organizational documents on the amount of indebtedness that the Operating Partnership may incur or a requirement for the maintenance of investment grade credit ratings, the Operating Partnership has entered into certain financial agreements which contain covenants that limit the Operating Partnership’s ability to incur indebtedness under certain circumstances. The Operating Partnership intends to conduct its operations so as to best be able to maintain its investment grade rated status. The Operating Partnership intends to utilize the most appropriate sources of capital for future acquisitions, development, capital improvements and other investments, which may include funds from operating activities, proceeds from property and land sales, short-term and long-term borrowings (including draws on the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit facility), and the issuance of additional debt securities by the Operating Partnership or equity securities by the Corporation.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership had no employees. The Corporation had approximately 331 full-time employees.

 

COMPETITION

 

The leasing of real estate is highly competitive. The Properties compete for tenants with lessors and developers of similar properties located in their respective markets primarily on the basis of location, rent charged, services provided, and the design and condition of the Properties. The Operating Partnership also experiences competition when attempting to acquire or dispose of real estate, including competition from domestic and foreign financial institutions, other REITs, life insurance companies, pension trusts, trust funds, partnerships, individual investors and others.

 

REGULATIONS

 

Many laws and governmental regulations are applicable to the Properties and changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and the courts, occur frequently.

 

Under various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, an owner of real estate may be held liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances located on or in the property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner was responsible for, or even knew of, the presence of such substances. The presence of such substances may adversely affect the owner’s ability to rent or sell the property or to borrow using such property as collateral and may expose it to liability resulting from any release of, or exposure to, such substances. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances at another location may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental laws impose liability for the release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may also seek recovery from owners or operators of real

 

5

 

 



 

properties for personal injury associated with asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous or toxic substances.

 

In connection with the ownership (direct or indirect), operation, management and development of real properties, the Operating Partnership may be considered an owner or operator of such properties or as having arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and, therefore, potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs, including governmental penalties and injuries to persons and property.

 

There can be no assurance that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability, (ii) the current environmental condition of the Properties will not be affected by tenants, by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of the Properties (such as the presence of underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to the Operating Partnership, or (iii) the Operating Partnership’s assessments reveal all environmental liabilities and that there are no material environmental liabilities of which the Operating Partnership is aware. If compliance with the various laws and regulations, now existing or hereafter adopted, exceeds the Operating Partnership’s budgets for such items, the Operating Partnership’s ability to make expected distributions to security holders could be adversely affected.

 

There are no other laws or regulations which have a material effect on the Operating Partnership’s operations, other than typical federal, state and local laws affecting the development and operation of real property, such as zoning laws.

 

INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

 

The Operating Partnership operates in only one industry segment – real estate. The Operating Partnership does not have any foreign operations and its business is not seasonal. Please see our financial statements attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein for financial information relating to our industry segment.

 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

As a result of the economic climate since 2001, substantially all of the real estate markets the Operating Partnership operates in materially softened. Demand for office space declined significantly and vacancy rates increased in each of the Operating Partnership’s core markets over the period. Through February 28, 2005, the Operating Partnership’s core markets continued to be weak. The percentage leased in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties decreased to 91.2 percent at December 31, 2004 as compared to 91.5 percent at December 31, 2003 and 92.3 percent at December 31, 2002. Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future and leases that expire at the period end date. Market rental rates have declined in most markets from peak levels in late 2000 and early 2001. Rental rates on the Operating Partnership’s space that was re-leased (based on first rents payable) during the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased an average of 8.7 percent compared to rates that were in effect under expiring leases, as compared to a 7.8 percent decrease in 2003 and a 3.0 percent increase in 2002. The Operating Partnership believes that vacancy rates may continue to increase in most of its markets in 2005. As a result, the Operating Partnership’s future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions.

 

In 2004, the Operating Partnership:

 

acquired 15 office properties, aggregating 2,728,038 square feet, and two land parcels at a total cost of approximately $285.8 million and;

sold three office properties, aggregating 941,330 square feet, for aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $110.1 million.

 

Additionally, in 2004, the Operating Partnership, through unconsolidated joint ventures, sold one office property and one retail property, which aggregate 465,124 square feet, for aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $143.0 million. See Note 4 to the Financial Statements for further information regarding joint venture activity.

 

On February 3, 2005, the Operating Partnership signed agreements to sell its office building located at 600 Community Drive in Manhasset, New York and its office building located at 111 East Shore Road in North Hempstead, New York, which aggregate 292,849 square feet, for a total sales price of $72.5 million. The two agreements are with buyers affiliated with each other and represent a single indivisible transaction. The sale, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2005, is

subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the sole tenant of the Manhasset building, pursuant to terms of its lease agreement with the Operating Partnership.

 

On February 4, 2005, the Operating Partnership sold its 318,224 square foot office property located at 210 South 16th Street in Omaha, Nebraska for a sales price of approximately $8.7 million.

 

On February 11, 2005, the Operating Partnership sold its remaining, wholly-owned Texas property, 1122 North Alma Road, a 82,576 square foot office building in Richardson, for a sales price of approximately $2.1 million.

 

On February 15, 2005, the Operating Partnership sold its 75,668 square foot office property located at 3 Skyline Drive in Hawthorne, New York for a sales price of approximately $9.6 million.

 

On March 2, 2005, the Operating Partnership acquired a 1.2 million square-foot, 42-story high-rise office building located at 101 Hudson Street in Jersey City, New Jersey for a purchase price of approximately $329 million.

FINANCING ACTIVITY

 

Senior Unsecured Notes Transactions

On February 9, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued $100 million face amount of 5.125 percent senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2014, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The total proceeds from the issuance (net of selling commissions and discount) of approximately $98.5 million was held until March 15, 2004, when the Operating Partnership used the net proceeds from the sale, together with borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and available cash, to repay the $300 million, 7.00 percent notes due on that date.

 

On March 22, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million face amount of 5.125 percent senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2014 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The total proceeds from the issuance (including premium and net of selling commissions) of approximately $103.1 million was used primarily to reduce outstanding borrowings under the unsecured facility.

 

On January 25, 2005, the Operating Partnership issued $150.0 million face amount of 5.125 percent senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2015 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The proceeds from the issuance (net of selling commissions and discount) of approximately $148.1 million was used primarily to reduce outstanding borrowings under the unsecured facility.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 23, 2004, the Operating Partnership refinanced its unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 27 lender banks. The $600 million unsecured facility, which is expandable to $800 million, carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 65 basis points, representing a reduction of five basis points from the previous facility. The credit facility, which also carries a facility fee of 20 basis points, has a three-year term with a one-year extension option. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment, on a sliding scale, based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings.

 

Mortgage Refinancing

On November 12, 2004, the Operating Partnership refinanced its $150 million, 7.10 percent portfolio mortgage loan with Prudential Insurance Company, which was scheduled to mature on May 15, 2005. The refinanced mortgage loan is secured by seven properties located in Bergen County, New Jersey. The mortgage loan, with a balance of $150 million at December 31, 2004, is interest only, carries an effective interest rate of 4.84 percent and matures on January 15, 2010.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Our results from operations and ability to make distributions on our equity and debt service on our indebtedness may be affected by the risk factors set forth below. All investors should consider the following risk factors before deciding to purchase securities of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership refers to itself as “we” or “our” in the following risk factors.

 

 

8

 

 



 

Declines in economic activities in the Northeastern office markets could adversely affect our operating results.

A majority of our revenues are derived from our properties located in the Northeast, particularly in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Adverse economic developments in this region could adversely impact the operations of our properties and, therefore, our profitability. Because our portfolio consists primarily of office and office/flex buildings (as compared to a more diversified real estate portfolio), a decline in the economy and/or a decline in the demand for office space may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

 

The continued economic downturn in the real estate market has resulted in the relocation of companies and an uncertain economic future for many businesses. We are uncertain how long the current downturn will last. The current economic downturn may also be having a negative economic impact on many industries, including securities, insurance services, telecommunications and computer systems and other technology, businesses in which many of our tenants are involved. Such economic impact may cause our tenants to have difficulty or be unable to meet their obligations to us.

 

Our performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry.

General: Our business and our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors depend on the ability of our properties to generate funds in excess of operating expenses (including scheduled principal payments on debt and capital expenditure requirements). Events or conditions that are beyond our control may adversely affect our operations and the value of our properties. Such events or conditions could include:

 

changes in the general economic climate;

 

changes in local conditions such as an oversupply of office space, a reduction in demand for office space, or reductions in office market rental rates;

 

decreased attractiveness of our properties to tenants;

 

competition from other office and office/flex properties;

 

our inability to provide adequate maintenance;

 

increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes, due to inflation and other factors which may not necessarily be offset by increased rents;

 

changes in laws and regulations (including tax, environmental, zoning and building codes, and housing laws and regulations) and agency or court interpretations of such laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance;

 

changes in interest rate levels and the availability of financing;

 

the inability of a significant number of tenants to pay rent;

 

our inability to rent office space on favorable terms; and

 

civil unrest, earthquakes and other natural disasters or acts of God that may result in uninsured losses.

 

Financially distressed tenants may be unable to pay rent: If a tenant defaults, we may experience delays and incur substantial costs in enforcing our rights as landlord and protecting our investments. If a tenant files for bankruptcy, a potential court judgment rejecting and terminating such tenant’s lease could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

 

Renewing leases or re-letting space could be costly: If a tenant does not renew its lease upon expiration or terminates its lease early, we may not be able to re-lease the space. If a tenant does renew its lease or we re-lease the space, the terms of the renewal or new lease, including the cost of required renovations or concessions to the tenant, may be less favorable than the current lease terms which could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

 

Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate: We currently carry comprehensive insurance on all of our properties, including insurance for liability, fire and flood. We cannot guarantee that the limits of our current policies will be sufficient in the event of a catastrophe to our properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew or duplicate our current insurance coverage in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices. In addition, while our current insurance policies insure us against loss from terrorist acts and toxic mold, in the future insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against these types of losses, or, if offered, these types of insurance may be prohibitively expensive. If any or all of the foregoing should occur, we may not have insurance coverage against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the limits of insurance available. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property or properties, as well as the

anticipated future revenue from the property or properties. Nevertheless, we might remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property or properties. We cannot guarantee that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Such events could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

 

Illiquidity of real estate limits our ability to act quickly: Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Such illiquidity may limit our ability to react quickly in response to changes in economic and other conditions. If we want to sell an investment, we might not be able to dispose of that investment in the time period we desire, and the sales price of that investment might not recoup or exceed the amount of our investment. The prohibition in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related regulations on a real estate investment trust holding property for sale also may restrict our ability to sell property. In addition, we acquired a significant number of our properties from individuals to whom we issued limited partnership units as part of the purchase price. In connection with the acquisition of these properties, in order to preserve such individual’s tax deferral, we contractually agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer the properties for a specified period of time, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate individuals for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains. As of December 31, 2004, 72 of our properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.2 billion, were subject to these restrictions, which expire periodically through 2008. The above limitations on our ability to sell our investments could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

 

Americans with Disabilities Act compliance could be costly: Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), all public accommodations and commercial facilities must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA requirements could involve removal of structural barriers from certain disabled persons’ entrances. Other federal, state and local laws may require modifications to or restrict further renovations of our properties with respect to such accesses. Although we believe that our properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, noncompliance with the ADA or related laws or regulations could result in the United States government imposing fines or private litigants being awarded damages against us. Such costs may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

 

Environmental problems are possible and may be costly: Various federal, state and local laws and regulations subject property owners or operators to liability for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances located on or in the property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator was responsible for or even knew of the presence of such substances. The presence of or failure to properly remediate hazardous or toxic substances (such as toxic mold) may adversely affect our ability to rent, sell or borrow against contaminated property and may impose liability upon us for personal injury to persons exposed to such substances. Various laws and regulations also impose liability on persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances at another location for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for such disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. Certain other environmental laws and regulations impose liability on owners or operators of property for injuries relating to the release of asbestos-containing or other materials into the air, water or otherwise into the environment. As owners and operators of property and as potential arrangers for hazardous substance disposal, we may be liable under such laws and regulations for removal or remediation costs, governmental penalties, property damage, personal injuries and related expenses. Payment of such costs and expenses could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

 

Competition for acquisitions may result in increased prices for properties: We plan to acquire additional properties in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and in the Northeast generally. We may be competing for investment opportunities with entities that have greater financial resources. Several office building developers and real estate companies may compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition, land for development and prospective tenants. Such competition may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors by:

 

reducing the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us;

increasing the bargaining power of property owners;

 

interfering with our ability to attract and retain tenants;

 

 

 

10

 

 



 

 

increasing vacancies which lowers market rental rates and limits our ability to negotiate rental rates; and/or

adversely affecting our ability to minimize expenses of operation.

 

 

Development of real estate could be costly: As part of our operating strategy, we may acquire land for development or construct on owned land, under certain conditions. Included among the risks of the real estate development business are the following, which may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors:

 

financing for development projects may not be available on favorable terms;

 

long-term financing may not be available upon completion of construction; and

 

failure to complete construction on schedule or within budget may increase debt service expense and construction costs.

 

Property ownership through joint ventures could subject us to the contrary business objectives of our co-venturers: We, from time to time, invest in joint ventures or partnerships in which we do not hold a controlling interest. These investments involve risks that do not exist with properties in which we own a controlling interest, including the possibility that our co-venturers or partners may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives. Because we lack a controlling interest, our co-venturers or partners may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives. While we seek protective rights against such contrary actions, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in procuring any such protective rights, or if procured, that the rights will be sufficient to fully protect us against contrary actions. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in joint ventures or partnerships. If the objectives of our co-venturers or partners are inconsistent with ours, it may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

 

Debt financing could adversely affect our economic performance.

Scheduled debt payments and refinancing could adversely affect our financial condition: We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing. These risks, including the following, may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors:

 

our cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest;

 

payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to pay operating expenses;

we may not be able to refinance indebtedness on our properties at maturity; and

 

if refinanced, the terms of refinancing may not be as favorable as the original terms of the related indebtedness.

 

As of December 31, 2004, we had total outstanding indebtedness of $1.7 billion comprised of $1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes, outstanding borrowings of $107.0 million under our $600.0 million revolving credit facility and approximately $564.2 million of mortgage loans payable and other obligations indebtedness. We may have to refinance the principal due on our current or future indebtedness at maturity, and we may not be able to do so.

 

If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, events or conditions that may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors include the following:

 

we may need to dispose of one or more of our properties upon disadvantageous terms;

 

prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing could increase interest rates and, therefore, our interest expense;

if we mortgage property to secure payment of indebtedness and are unable to meet mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose upon such property or appoint a receiver to receive an assignment of our rents and leases; and

foreclosures upon mortgaged property could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds and, therefore, hinder our ability to meet the real estate investment trust distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

 

11

 

 



We are obligated to comply with financial covenants in our indebtedness that could restrict our range of operating activities: The mortgages on our properties contain customary negative covenants, including limitations on our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the property, to enter into new leases outside of stipulated guidelines or to materially modify existing leases. In addition, our credit facility contains customary requirements, including restrictions and other limitations on our ability to incur debt, debt to assets ratios, secured debt to total assets ratios, interest coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. The indentures under which our senior unsecured debt have been issued contain financial and operating covenants including coverage ratios and limitations on our ability to incur secured and unsecured debt. These covenants limit our flexibility in conducting our operations and create a risk of default on our indebtedness if we cannot continue to satisfy them.

 

Rising interest rates may adversely affect our cash flow: As of December 31, 2004, outstanding borrowings of approximately $107.0 million under our revolving credit facility bear interest at variable rates. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future that also bears interest at variable rates. Variable rate debt creates higher debt service requirements if market interest rates increase. Higher debt service requirements could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors and/or cause us to default under certain debt covenants.

 

Our degree of leverage could adversely affect our cash flow: We fund acquisition opportunities and development partially through short-term borrowings (including our revolving credit facility), as well as from proceeds from property sales and undistributed cash. We expect to refinance projects purchased with short-term debt either with long-term indebtedness or equity financing depending upon the economic conditions at the time of refinancing. The Board of Directors of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, our general partner, has a general policy of limiting the ratio of our indebtedness to total undepreciated assets (total debt as a percentage of total undepreciated assets) to 50 percent or less, although there is no limit in Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s or our organizational documents on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. However, we have entered into certain financial agreements which contain financial and operating covenants that limit our ability under certain circumstances to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness. The Board of Directors of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation could alter or eliminate its current policy on borrowing at any time at its discretion. If this policy were changed, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors and/or could cause an increased risk of default on our obligations.

 

We are dependent on external sources of capital for future growth: To qualify as a real estate investment trust, we must distribute to our shareholders each year at least 90 percent of our net taxable income, excluding any net capital gain. Because of this distribution requirement, it is not likely that we will be able to fund all future capital needs, including for acquisitions and developments, from income from operations. Therefore, we will have to rely on third-party sources of capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including the market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings. Moreover, additional equity offerings may result in substantial dilution of our shareholders’ interests, and additional debt financing may substantially increase our leverage.

 

Competition for skilled personnel could increase our labor costs.

We compete with various other companies in attracting and retaining qualified and skilled personnel. We depend on our ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel who are responsible for the day-to-day operations of our company. Competitive pressures may require that we enhance our pay and benefits package to compete effectively for such personnel. We may not be able to offset such added costs by increasing the rates we charge our tenants. If there is an increase in these costs or if we fail to attract and retain qualified and skilled personnel, our business and operating results could be harmed.

 

We are dependent on our key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.

We are dependent upon the executive officers of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation for strategic business direction and real estate experience. While we believe that we could find replacements for these key personnel, loss of their services could adversely affect our operations. Mack-Cali Realty Corporation has entered into an employment agreement (including non-competition provisions) which provides for a continuous four-year employment term with each of Mitchell E. Hersh, Barry Lefkowitz and Roger W. Thomas, and a continuous one-year employment term with Michael A. Grossman. Mack-Cali Realty Corporation does not have key man life insurance for our executive officers.

Certain provisions of Maryland law and the charter, bylaws and stockholder rights plan of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation could hinder, delay or prevent changes in control.

Certain provisions of Maryland law, the charter, bylaws and stockholder rights plan of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing transactions that involve an actual or threatened change in control. These provisions include the following:

 

Classified Board of Directors: The Board of Directors of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation is divided into three classes with staggered terms of office of three years each. The classification and staggered terms of office of the directors make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of the board of directors. At least two annual meetings of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders, instead of one, generally would be required to affect a change in a majority of the board of directors.

 

Removal of Directors: Under Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s charter, subject to the rights of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect one or more directors, a director may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast by Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s stockholders generally in the election of directors. Neither the Maryland General Corporation Law nor Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s charter define the term “cause.” As a result, removal for “cause” is subject to Maryland common law and to judicial interpretation and review in the context of the facts and circumstances of any particular situation.

 

Number of Directors, Board Vacancies, Term of Office: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation has, in its bylaws, elected to be subject to certain provisions of Maryland law which vest in the Board of Directors the exclusive right to determine the number of directors and the exclusive right, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, to fill vacancies on the board. These provisions of Maryland law, which are applicable even if other provisions of Maryland law or the charter or bylaws provide to the contrary, also provide that any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred, rather than the next annual meeting of stockholders as would otherwise be the case, and until his or her successor is elected and qualifies.

 

Stockholder Requested Special Meetings: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s bylaws provide that its stockholders have the right to call a special meeting only upon the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders at such meeting.

 

Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Proposals: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s bylaws require advance written notice for stockholders to nominate persons for election as directors at, or to bring other business before, any meeting of stockholders. This bylaw provision limits the ability of stockholders to make nominations of persons for election as directors or to introduce other proposals unless Mack-Cali Realty Corporation is notified in a timely manner prior to the meeting.

 

Exclusive Authority of the Board to Amend the Bylaws: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s bylaws provide that its board of directors has the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of the bylaws or to make new bylaws. Thus, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s stockholders may not effect any changes to its bylaws.

 

Preferred Stock: Under Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s charter, its Board of Directors has authority to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and to establish the terms, preferences and rights of any such series of preferred stock, all without approval of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders.

 

Duties of Directors with Respect to Unsolicited Takeovers: Maryland law provides protection for Maryland corporations against unsolicited takeovers by limiting, among other things, the duties of the directors in unsolicited takeover situations. The duties of directors of Maryland corporations do not require them to (a) accept, recommend or respond to any proposal by a person seeking to acquire control of the corporation, (b) authorize the corporation to redeem any rights under, or modify or render inapplicable, any stockholders rights plan, (c) make a determination under the Maryland Business Combination Act or the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, or (d) act or fail to act solely because of the effect of the act or failure to act may have on an acquisition or potential acquisition of control of the corporation or the amount or type of consideration that may be offered or paid to the stockholders in an acquisition. Moreover, under Maryland law the act of a director of a Maryland corporation relating to or affecting an acquisition or potential

 

13

 

 



 

acquisition of control is not subject to any higher duty or greater scrutiny than is applied to any other act of a director. Maryland law also contains a statutory presumption that an act of a director of a Maryland corporation satisfies the applicable standards of conduct for directors under Maryland law.

 

Ownership Limit: In order to preserve Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s charter generally prohibits any single stockholder, or any group of affiliated stockholders, from beneficially owning more than 9.8 percent of its outstanding capital stock unless the Board of Directors waives or modifies this ownership limit.

 

Maryland Business Combination Act: The Maryland Business Combination Act provides that unless exempted, a Maryland corporation may not engage in business combinations, including mergers, dispositions of 10 percent or more of its assets, certain issuances of shares of stock and other specified transactions, with an “interested stockholder” or an affiliate of an interested stockholder for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, and thereafter unless specified criteria are met. An interested stockholder is generally a person owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, 10 percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the Maryland corporation. The Board of Directors has exempted from this statute business combinations with certain affiliated individuals and entities. However, unless the Board of Directors adopts other exemptions, the provisions of the Maryland Business Combination Act will be applicable to business combinations with other persons.

 

Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act: Maryland law provides that “control shares” of a corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” shall have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes eligible to cast on the matter under the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. “Control Shares” means shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock previously acquired by the acquirer, would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of the voting power: one-tenth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority or a majority or more of all voting power. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions.

 

If voting rights of control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are not approved at a stockholder’s meeting, then subject to certain conditions and limitations, the issuer may redeem any or all of the control shares for fair value. If voting rights of such control shares are approved at a stockholder’s meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act any acquisitions of shares by certain affiliated individuals and entities, any directors, officers or employees of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and any person approved by the Board of Directors prior to the acquisition by such person of control shares. Any control shares acquired in a control share acquisition which are not exempt under the foregoing provisions of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s bylaws will be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act.

 

Stockholder Rights Plan: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation adopted a stockholder rights plan that may discourage any potential acquirer from acquiring more than 15 percent of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s outstanding common stock since, upon this type of acquisition without approval of our the Board of Directors, all other common stockholders will have the right to purchase a specified amount of common stock at a substantial discount from market price.

 

Consequences of failure of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation to qualify as a real estate investment trust could adversely affect our financial condition.
Failure to maintain ownership limits could cause Mack-Cali Realty Corporation to lose its qualification as a real estate investment trust: In order for Mack-Cali Realty Corporation to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust, not more than 50 percent in value of its outstanding stock may be actually and/or constructively owned by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities). Mack-Cali Realty Corporation has limited the ownership of its outstanding shares of common stock by any single stockholder to 9.8 percent of the outstanding shares of its common stock. The Board of Directors of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation could waive this restriction if they were satisfied, based upon the advice of tax counsel or otherwise, that such action would be in the best interests of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and would not affect its qualifications as a real estate investment trust. Common stock of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation acquired or transferred in breach of the limitation may be redeemed by Mack-Cali Realty Corporation for the lesser of the price paid and the average closing price for the 10 trading days immediately preceding redemption or sold at the direction of us. Mack-Cali Realty Corporation may elect to redeem such shares of common stock for limited partnership units, which are

 

14

 

 



 

nontransferable except in very limited circumstances. Any transfer of shares of common stock which, as a result of such transfer, causes Mack-Cali Realty Corporation to be in violation of any ownership limit will be deemed void. Although Mack-Cali Realty Corporation currently intends to continue to operate in a manner which will enable it to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s Board of Directors to revoke the election for it to qualify as a real estate investment trust. Under Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s organizational documents, its Board of Directors can make such revocation without the consent of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s stockholders.

 

In addition, the consent of the holders of at least 85 percent of our partnership units is required: (i) to merge (or permit the merger of) us with another unrelated person, pursuant to a transaction in which we are not the surviving entity; (ii) to dissolve, liquidate or wind up; or (iii) to convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of our assets. As of February 25, 2005, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, as general partner, owned approximately 81.6 percent of our outstanding partnership units (assuming conversion of all preferred limited partnership units).

 

Tax liabilities as a consequence of failure of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation to qualify as a real estate investment trust: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation has elected to be treated and has operated so as to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes since its taxable year ended December 31, 1994. Although Mack-Cali Realty Corporation believes it will continue to operate in such manner, it cannot guarantee that it will do so. Qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the satisfaction of various requirements (some on an annual and some on a quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex tax provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Because few judicial or administrative interpretations of such provisions exist and qualification determinations are fact sensitive, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation cannot assure you that it will qualify as a real estate investment trust for any taxable year.

 

If Mack-Cali Realty Corporation fails to qualify as a real estate investment trust in any taxable year, it will be subject to the following:

 

it will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders;

 

it will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any alternative minimum tax, if applicable; and

unless it is entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, it will not be permitted to qualify as a real estate investment trust for the four taxable years following the year during which it was disqualified.

 

A loss of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s status as a real estate investment trust could have an adverse effect on us. Failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust also would eliminate the requirement that Mack-Cali Realty Corporaiton pay dividends to its stockholders.

 

Other tax liabilities: Even if Mack-Cali Realty Corporation qualifies as a real estate investment trust, it is subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on its income and property and, in some circumstances, certain other state and local taxes. In addition, its taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to federal, state and local income tax for income received in connection with certain non-customary services performed for tenants and/or third parties.

 

Risk of changes in the tax law applicable to real estate investment trusts: Since the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, we cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Any of such legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify our and Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect taxation of us, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, and/or our investors.

(a)

Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future and leases expiring December 31, 2004 aggregating 439,697 square feet (representing 1.5 percent of the Operating Partnership’s total net rentable square footage) for which no new leases were signed. Excluded from percentage leased at December 31, 2004 is a non-strategic, non-core 318,224 square-foot property acquired through a deed in lieu of foreclosure, which was 12.7 percent leased at December 31, 2004.

(b)

Total base rent for 2004, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Substantially all of the leases provide for annual base rents plus recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of and/or increases in real estate taxes and certain operating costs, as defined, and the pass through of charges for electrical usage.

(c)

Excludes space leased by the Operating Partnership.

 

(d)

Total base rent for 2004 minus total 2004 amortization of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other concessions and costs, determined in accordance with GAAP.

(e)

Base rent for 2004 divided by net rentable square feet leased at December 31, 2004. For those properties acquired during 2004, amounts are annualized, as per Note g.

(f)

Effective rent for 2004 divided by net rentable square feet leased at December 31, 2004. For those properties acquired during 2004, amounts are annualized, as described in Note g.

(g)

As this property was acquired by the Operating Partnership during 2004, the amounts represented in 2004 base rent and 2004 effective rent reflect only that portion of the year during which the Operating Partnership owned the property. Accordingly, these amounts may not be indicative of the property’s full year results. For comparison purposes, the amounts represented in 2004 average base rent per sq. ft. and 2004 average effective rent per sq. ft. for this property have been calculated by taking 2004 base rent and 2004 effective rent for such property and annualizing these partial-year results, dividing such annualized amounts by the net rentable square feet leased at December 31, 2004. These annualized per square foot amounts may not be indicative of the property’s results had the Operating Partnership owned the property for the entirety of 2004.

(h)

This property was identified as held for sale by the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2004, and is classified as discontinued operations in the 2004 financial statements.

 

(i)

Includes $3,002 pertaining to properties identified as held for sale, which are classified as discontinued operations in the 2004 financial statements.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On February 12, 2003, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (“NJSEA”) selected The Mills Corporation (“Mills”) and the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “Meadowlands Venture”) to redevelop the Continental Airlines Arena site (“Arena Site”) for mixed uses, including retail. Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc. (“Hartz”) has challenged the NJSEA’s selection. The NJSEA denied its protest. Westfield America, Inc. (“Westfield”) also protested the NJSEA’s selection of Mills and the Operating Partnership. Westfield’s protest was also denied by the NJSEA. Hartz and Westfield have appealed the denial of their protest. Hartz and Westfield also have appealed the NJSEA’s execution of the Final Redevelopment Agreement for the Arena Site. Four citizens, Elliot Braha, Richard DeLauro, George Perry and Carol Coronato (collectively, the “Braha Group,”) have also filed lawsuits challenging the NJSEA award to Mills and the Operating Partnership. On May 14, 2004, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, which has jurisdiction of all of the cases, issued an order deciding certain of the issues presented by the cases. The Appellate Division determined that the NJSEA had the statutory authority to develop the Arena Site for mixed uses, including retail, that the NJSEA, in selecting Mills and the Operating Partnership, did not have to utilize a traditional low bid procurement process, and that the NJSEA complied with the Open Public Meetings Act (“OPMA”) in considering and making its selection. The Appellate Division remanded Hartz’s claims for relief under the Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”). Hartz thereafter petitioned the Supreme Court of New Jersey for certification of the Appellate Division's decision. The Supreme Court denied the petition on November 5, 2004.

 

In August 2004, the Superior Court of New Jersey issued a decision on remand on the OPRA issues. The Court ordered the NJSEA to release certain documents to Hartz, but permitted the NJSEA to withhold other documents. Hartz has appealed that decision to the Appellate Division. The Court heard oral arguments on Hartz’s appeal on November 10, 2004. The Appellate Division stayed any further hearing before the NJSEA on Hartz’s bid protest until it decided the appeal. The Appellate Division issued its decision on November 24, 2004 denying all of Hartz’s claims for further relief and dissolved its stay of further hearings. Hartz thereafter petitioned the New Jersey Supreme Court for certification of the Appellate Division’s decision. The petition remains pending undecided. The supplemental hearing before the NJSEA went forward on December 15 and 16, 2004. The NJSEA’s hearing officer has yet to issue a decision on Hartz’s protest.

 

In addition to Hartz’s petition for certification pending in the Supreme Court of New Jersey, there are ten pending cases in the Appellate Division which challenge the NJSEA’s selection of the redevelopment proposal by the Meadowlands Venture and the result of the consultative process between the New Jersey Department of Environment Protection (“NJDEP”) and the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (“NJMC”), on the one hand, and the NJSEA, on the other, conducted pursuant to the requirements of the applicable NJSEA statute. Four of these appeals were filed by Hartz and two each by Westfield and the Braha Group. A ninth case was filed by the Environmental Law Clinic at Columbia Law School on behalf of the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense, New Jersey Public Interest Research Group and New Jersey Environmental Federal.

 

The tenth case was filed by the Borough of Carlstadt, New Jersey on September 30, 2004. The case was initially filed in the Superior Court law division, but was transferred to the Appellate Division on motion by the NJSEA and the Meadowlands Venture. Carlstadt argues that: (i) the retail elements of Meadowlands Xanadu are not authorized by statute; (ii) the retail elements of Meadowlands Xanadu are not tax exempt under NJSEA’s enabling act; and (iii) the PILOT program for Meadowlands Xanadu is arbitrary and capricious.

 

Another action taken against Meadowlands Xanadu was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, on December 20, 2004, by the New Jersey Builders Association (the “Builders Association”). The Builders Association claims that the NJSEA should be required to utilize its property in part for affordable housing. The Builders Association seeks an order prohibiting the development of Meadowlands Xanadu because, in the Builders Association’s view, the NJSEA’s “underutilized” parking lots should be available for the development of affordable housing. On February 4, 2005, the court denied the Builders Association’s application for a temporary restraining order. On February 18, 2005, the court denied the Builders Association’s application for a preliminary injunction and transferred the case to the Superior Court, Appellate Division, for future proceedings. The Operating Partnership and Mills are not parties to that action. The defendants are the NJMC, NJSEA, the Borough of East Rutherford, and the Planning Board of East Rutherford.

The Operating Partnership believes that its proposal fully complies with applicable laws and the request for proposals, and plans to vigorously enforce its rights concerning this project. The Operating Partnership does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's financial condition taken as a whole.

 

There are no other material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business, to which the Operating Partnership is a party or to which any of the Properties is subject.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

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

 

Executive Overview

 

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation is one of the largest real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the United States, with a total market capitalization of approximately $5.2 billion at December 31, 2004. Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) has been involved in all aspects of commercial real estate development, management and ownership for over 50 years and has been a publicly-traded REIT since 1994. The Operating Partnership owns or has interests in 273 properties (collectively, the “Properties”), primarily class A office and office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 29.6 million square feet, leased to approximately 2,100 tenants. The properties are located primarily in suburban markets of the Northeast, some with adjacent, Operating Partnership-controlled developable land sites able to accommodate up to 8.5 million square feet of additional commercial space.

 

The Operating Partnership’s strategy is to be a significant real estate owner and operator in its core, high-barriers-to-entry markets, primarily in the Northeast.

 

As an owner of real estate, almost all of the Operating Partnership’s earnings and cash flow is derived from rental revenue received pursuant to leased office space at the Properties. Key factors that affect the Operating Partnership’s business and financial results include the following:

 

the general economic climate;

 

the occupancy rates of the Properties;

 

rental rates on new or renewed leases;

 

tenant improvement and leasing costs incurred to obtain and retain tenants;

the extent of early lease terminations;

 

operating expenses;

 

cost of capital; and

 

the extent of acquisitions, development and sales of real estate.

 

 

Any negative effects of the above key factors could potentially cause a deterioration in the Operating Partnership’s revenue and/or earnings. Such negative effects could include: (1) failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire; (2) failure to renew or execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases; and (3) tenant defaults.

 

A failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire or to execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases may be affected by several factors such as: (1) the local economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors; and (2) local real estate conditions, such as oversupply of office and office/flex space or competition within the market.

 

As a result of the economic climate since 2001, substantially all of the real estate markets the Operating Partnership operates in materially softened. Demand for office space declined significantly and vacancy rates increased in each of the Operating Partnership’s core markets over the period. Through February 25, 2005, the Operating Partnership’s core markets continued to be weak. The percentage leased in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties decreased to 91.2 percent at December 31, 2004 as compared to 91.5 percent at December 31, 2003 and 92.3 percent at December 31, 2002. Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future, and leases that expire at the period end date. Excluded from percentage leased at December 31, 2004 was a non-strategic, non-core 318,224 square foot property acquired through a deed in lieu of foreclosure, which was 12.7 percent leased at December 31, 2004 and subsequently sold on February 4, 2005. Leases

that expired as of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 aggregate 439,697, 143,059 and 41,438 square feet, respectively, or 1.5, 0.5 and 0.1 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively. Market rental rates have declined in most markets from peak levels in late 2000 and early 2001. Rental rates on the Operating Partnership’s space that was re-leased (based on first rents payable) during the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased an average of 8.7 percent compared to rates that were in effect under expiring leases, as compared to a 7.8 percent decrease in 2003 and a 3.0 percent increase in 2002. The Operating Partnership believes that vacancy rates may continue to increase in most of its markets in 2005. As a result, the Operating Partnership’s future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions.

 

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

 

property transactions during the period;

 

critical accounting policies and estimates;

 

results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period last year;

Subsequent Events

 

On February 3, 2005, the Operating Partnership signed agreements to sell its office building located at 600 Community Drive in Manhasset, New York and its office building located at 111 East Shore Road in North Hempstead, New York, which aggregate 292,849 square feet, for a total sales price of $72.5 million. The two agreements are with buyers affiliated with each other and represent a single indivisible transaction. The sale, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2005, is subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the sole tenant of the Manhasset building, pursuant to terms of its lease agreement with the Operating Partnership.

 

On February 4, 2005, the Operating Partnership sold its 318,224 square foot office property located at 210 South 16th Street in Omaha, Nebraska for a sales price of approximately $8.7 million.

 

On February 11, 2005, the Operating Partnership sold its remaining, wholly-owned Texas property, 1122 North Alma Road, a 82,576 square foot office building in Richardson, for a sales price of approximately $2.1 million.

 

On February 15, 2005, the Operating Partnership sold its 75,668 square foot office property located at 3 Skyline Drive in Hawthorne, New York for a sales price of approximately $9.6 million.

 

On March 2, 2005, the Operating Partnership acquired a 1.2 million square-foot, 42-story high-rise office building located at 101 Hudson Street in Jersey City, New Jersey for a purchase price of approximately $329 million.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

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

Rental Property:

Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Interest capitalized by the Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $3.9 million, $7.3 million and $19.7 million, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.

 

The Operating Partnership considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Operating Partnership allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

 

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

 

Leasehold interests

Remaining lease term



Buildings and improvements

5 to 40 years



Tenant improvements

The shorter of the term of the

 

related lease or useful life



Furniture, fixtures and equipment

5 to 10 years



 

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

 

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

 

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Operating Partnership’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing

 

46

 

 



 

commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Operating Partnership’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles will be amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Operating Partnership’s rental properties may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Operating Partnership’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved. Management does not believe that the value of any of the Operating Partnership’s rental properties is impaired.

 

Rental Property Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations:

When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Operating Partnership discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management’s opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition:

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

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

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

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties increased $2.7 million, or 0.6 percent, for 2004 as compared to 2003, due primarily to increases in occupancies at the properties in 2004 from 2003. Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties increased $5.2 million, or 8.6 percent, for 2004 over 2003, due primarily to an increased amount of total property expenses in 2004. Parking and other income for the Same-Store Properties decreased $5.6 million, or 29.9 percent, due primarily to a decrease in lease termination fees of $3.9 million in 2004 as compared to 2003 and a construction management fee of $1.2 million in 2003.

 

Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $4.5 million, or 7.1 percent, for 2004 as compared to 2003, due primarily to property tax rate increases in certain municipalities in 2004, partially offset by lower assessments on certain properties in 2004. Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.2 million, or 3.0 percent, for 2004 as compared to 2003, due primarily to increased electric rates in 2004. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $3.3 million, or 4.6 percent, due primarily to increased repairs and maintenance expenses of $2.6 million, increased insurance costs of $2.1 million, and property management salaries and related expenses of $0.6 million in 2004 as compared to 2003, partially offset by a decrease in snow removal costs in 2004 of $2.0 million.

 

General and administrative increased by $0.5 million, or 1.5 percent, for 2004 as compared to 2003. This increase was due primarily to compensation costs incurred in connection with the 2004 resignation of the Corporation’s president of $1.3 million and an increase in other salaries and related expenses of $0.9 million in 2004, partially offset by costs for transactions not consummated of $1.7 million in 2003.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $14.7 million, or 12.7 percent, for 2004 over 2003. Of this increase, $9.4 million, or 8.1 percent, was attributable to the Same-Store Properties primarily on account of the amortization of additional tenant installation costs and $5.3 million, or 4.6 percent, was due to the Acquired Properties.

 

Interest expense decreased $5.9 million, or 5.1 percent, for 2004 as compared to 2003. This decrease was primarily as a result of the Operating Partnership’s ability to refinance maturing debt at lower rates, as well as lower average debt balances in 2004.

 

Interest income increased $0.3 million, or 24.2 percent, for 2004 as compared to 2003. This decrease was due primarily to higher average cash balances in 2004.

 

 

49

 

 



 

Loss on early retirement of debt, net, amounted to $2.4 million in 2003, which was due to costs incurred with the exchange in 2003 of $25.0 million face amount of 7.18 percent senior unsecured notes due December 31, 2003 for $26.1 million face amount of 5.82 percent senior unsecured notes due March 15, 2003, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears.

 

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $17.4 million, or 128.8 percent, for 2004 as compared to 2003. This decrease was due primarily to the sale of the Operating Partnership’s investment in the American Financial Exchange in late 2003 resulting in a reduction of $11.3 million in 2004, the Operating Partnership’s share of a valuation allowance taken by the Ashford Loop joint venture of $4.9 million in 2004, and a reduction in 2004 of $1.7 million as a result of the sale in 2003 of a property in Anaheim, California, partially offset by an increase from operations of the Hyatt Hotel at Harborside South Pier of $2.2 million for 2004 as compared to 2003.

 

Gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint venture amounted to $0.7 million in 2004 on account of the receipt of additional contingent purchase consideration from the Harborside North Pier sale. Gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint venture amounted to $24.0 million in 2003 on account of the sale of the Operating Partnership’s investment in the American Financial Exchange joint venture in 2003.

 

Income from continuing operations before equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures increased to $130.0 million in 2004 from $129.7 million in 2003. The increase of approximately $0.3 million was due to the factors discussed above.

 

Net income available to common unitholders decreased by $47.1 million, or 29.4 percent, from $160.5 million in 2003 to $113.4 million in 2004. This decrease was primarily the result of the Operating Partnership having realized a $24.0 million gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint venture in 2003 for the sale of its investment in the American Financial Exchange venture. The sale also resulted in a $11.3 million decrease in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures in 2004 as compared to 2003. In 2004, the Ashford Loop joint venture incurred a valuation allowance, which resulted in an additional decrease in equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures of $4.9 million.

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties decreased $3.5 million, or 0.6 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002, due primarily to decreases in space leased and rental rates at the properties in 2003. Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties increased $2.4 million, or 4.3 percent, for 2003 over 2002, due primarily to an increased amount of total property expenses in 2003. Parking and other income for the Same-Store Properties decreased $0.2 million, or 1.3 percent, due primarily to a decrease in lease termination fees in 2003.

 

Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $1.8 million, or 2.9 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002, due primarily to property tax rate increases in certain municipalities in 2003, partially offset by lower assessments on certain properties in 2003. Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.5 million, or 3.9 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002, due primarily to increased electric rates in 2003 and increased utility usage on account of the harsh 2003 winter. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $4.9 million, or 7.7 percent, due primarily to increased snow removal costs from the harsh winter in 2003.

 

General and administrative increased by $4.4 million, or 16.4 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This increase was due primarily to an increase in 2003 in costs for transactions not consummated of $2.0 million, salaries and related expenses of $1.8 million, and professional fees of $1.1 million, as compared to 2002.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $11.1 million, or 10.7 percent, for 2003 over 2002. Of this increase, $4.5 million, or 4.3 percent, is attributable to the Same-Store Properties, primarily on account of properties previously held for sale in 2002 not being depreciated during the period held for sale, which were no longer held for sale in 2003, and $6.6 million, or 6.4 percent, is due to the Acquired Properties.

 

Interest expense increased $8.8 million, or 8.2 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This increase was due primarily to lower capitalized interest in 2003 on account of less development projects.

 

Interest income decreased $1.2 million, or 52.2 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. This decrease was due primarily to lower notes receivable balances and lower interest rates in 2003.

 

Loss on early retirement of debt, net, amounted to $2.4 million in 2003, which consisted primarily of: (a) $1.4 million in costs in connection with the exchange and repurchase of $50.0 million in 7.18 percent senior unsecured notes due December 31, 2003; (b) a write-off of the unamortized balance of $1.5 million of an interest rate contract in conjunction

with the repayment of mortgage debt; and (c) $1.4 million of costs incurred in connection with the repurchase of $45.3 million of 7.18 percent senior unsecured notes due December 31, 2003, partially offset by a discount of $1.7 million taken in conjunction with the early retirement of the same mortgage debt referred to in (b) above.

 

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $1.3 million, or 8.9 percent, for 2003 as compared to 2002. The decrease was due primarily to the sale of the ARCap joint venture investment in late 2002 resulting in a reduction of $4.4 million in 2003 and the sale of properties owned by the HPMC joint ventures in late 2002 and 2003 resulting in a reduction of $3.5 million in 2003, partially offset by the initial operations of a 577,575 square foot office property owned by the American Financial Exchange joint venture (in which the Operating Partnership subsequently sold its interest) resulting in an increase in 2003 of $6.3 million.

 

Gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint venture amounted to $24.0 million in 2003. This was due to the sale of the Operating Partnership’s investment in the American Financial Exchange joint venture.

 

Income from continuing operations before equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased to $129.7 million in 2003 from $150.5 million in 2002. The decrease of approximately $20.8 million is due to the factors discussed above.

 

Net income available to common unitholders increased by $1.5 million, from $159.0 million in 2002 to $160.5 million in 2003. This increase was a result of a gain on sale of investment in American Financial Exchange of $24.0 million in 2003, realized gain on disposition of rental property of $3.5 million in 2003 and an increase in income from discontinued operations of $0.6 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in 2003 in income from continuing operations before equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $20.8 million, realized gain on disposition of rental property of $2.8 million in 2002, an increase in preferred unit distributions of $1.7 million, and a decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.3 million.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

Overview:

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

 

The Operating Partnership believes that with the general downturn in the economy in recent years, and the softening of the Operating Partnership’s markets specifically, it is reasonably likely that vacancy rates may continue to increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may continue to decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may continue to increase in most or all of its markets in 2005. As a result of the potential negative effects on the Operating Partnership’s revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space, the Operating Partnership’s cash flow could be insufficient to cover increased tenant installation costs over the short-term. If this situation were to occur, the Operating Partnership expects that it would finance any shortfalls through borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt financings of the Operating Partnership and equity financings of the Corporation.

 

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

property sales, long-term and short-term borrowings (including draws on the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit facility) and the issuance of additional debt securities of the Operating Partnership and/or equity securities of the Corporation.

 

REIT Restrictions:

To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Corporation must make annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains. Moreover, the Corporation intends to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders which, based upon current policy, in the aggregate would equal approximately $154.8 million on an annualized basis. However, any such distribution, whether for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, would only be paid out of available cash, including borrowings and other sources, after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock and unit dividends and distributions, and scheduled debt service on the Operating Partnership’s debt.

 

Property Lock-Ups:

The Operating Partnership may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprising 72 properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.2 billion, which were originally contributed by members of either the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Corporation’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, a director of the Corporation, Earle I. Mack, a former director of the Corporation; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and a director of the Corporation), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, a director of the Corporation; Martin S. Berger, a former director of the Corporation; and Timothy M. Jones, former president of the Corporation), or the Cali Group (which includes John J. Cali, a former director of the Corporation and John R. Cali, a director of the Corporation) without the express written consent of a representative of the Mack Group, the Robert Martin Group or the Cali Group, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group or Cali Group members for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”). The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Operating Partnership sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Corporation’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Operating Partnership or the Corporation or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property. The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2008. Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Operating Partnership is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group or Cali Group members.

 

Unencumbered Properties:

As of December 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership had 248 unencumbered properties, totaling 23.1 million square feet, representing 80.4 percent of the Operating Partnership’s total portfolio on a square footage basis.

 

Credit Ratings:

The Operating Partnership has three investment grade credit ratings. Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) have each assigned their BBB rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. S&P and Fitch have also assigned their BBB- rating to existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Corporation. Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) has assigned its Baa2 rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and its Baa3 rating to its existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Corporation.

Senior Unsecured Notes:

On February 9, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million face amount of 5.125 percent senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2014 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The total proceeds from the issuance (net of selling commissions and discount) of approximately $98.5 million were held until March 15, 2004, when the Operating Partnership used the net proceeds from the sale, together with borrowings under the unsecured facility and available cash, to repay the $300 million 7.00 percent notes due March 15, 2004.

 

On March 15, 2004, the Operating Partnership retired $300.0 million face amount of 7.00 percent senior unsecured notes due on that date. Funds used for the retirement were obtained from the proceeds from the February 2004 $100.0 million senior unsecured notes offering (described below), borrowings under the unsecured facility and available cash.

 

On March 22, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million face amount of 5.125 percent senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2014 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The total proceeds from the issuance (including premium and net of selling commissions) of approximately $103.1 million was used primarily to reduce outstanding borrowings under the unsecured facility.

 

On January 25, 2005, the Operating Partnership issued $150.0 million face amount of 5.125 percent senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2015 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The proceeds from the issuance (net of selling commissions and discount) of approximately $148.1 million was used primarily to reduce outstanding borrowings under the unsecured facility.

 

The terms of the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured notes (which totaled approximately $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2004) include certain restrictions and covenants which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum amount of debt leverage, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of debt service coverage and the maximum amount of unsecured debt as a percent of unsecured assets.

 

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility:

2004 Unsecured Facility

On November 23, 2004, the Operating Partnership obtained an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2004 Unsecured Facility”) with a current borrowing capacity of $600.0 million from a group of 27 lenders. As of March 2, 2005, the Operating Partnership had $290 million outstanding borrowings under the 2004 Unsecured Facility.

 

The interest rate on any outstanding borrowings under the 2004 Unsecured Facility is currently LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The Operating Partnership may instead elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The 2004 Unsecured Facility also currently requires a 20 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears.

 

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

If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from three rating agencies, one of which is S&P or Moody’s, the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of the two highest ratings. If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from only one agency, it will be considered to have no rating or less than BBB-/Baa3/BBB- per the above table.

 

The 2004 Unsecured Facility matures in November 2007, with an extension option of one year, which would require a payment of 25 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the facility upon exercise. The Operating Partnership believes that the 2004 Unsecured Facility is sufficient to meet its revolving credit facility needs.

 

The terms of the 2004 Unsecured Facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Operating Partnership to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Operating Partnership is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of interest coverage, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, except to enable the Corporation to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, the Corporation will not during any four consecutive fiscal quarters make distributions with respect to common stock or other common equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of 90 percent of funds from operations (as defined in the facility agreement) for such period, subject to certain other adjustments.

 

2002 Unsecured Facility

On September 27, 2002, the Operating Partnership obtained an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2002 Unsecured Facility”) with a borrowing capacity of $600.0 million from a group of 15 lenders.

 

The interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the 2002 Unsecured Facility was LIBOR plus 70 basis points. The Operating Partnership could have instead elected an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The 2002 Unsecured Facility also required a 20 basis point facility fee on the borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears.

 

In conjunction with obtaining the 2004 Unsecured Facility, the Operating Partnership drew funds on the new facility to repay in full and terminate the 2002 Unsecured Facility on November 23, 2004.

 

Mortgages, Loans Payable and Other Obligations:

The Operating Partnership has mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Operating Partnership’s rental properties. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.

 

On November 12, 2004, the Operating Partnership refinanced its $150 million, 7.10 percent portfolio mortgage loan with Prudential Insurance Company, which was scheduled to mature on May 15, 2005. The refinanced mortgage loan is secured by seven properties located in Bergen County, New Jersey. The mortgage loan, with a balance of $150 million at December 31, 2004, is interest only, carries an effective interest rate of 4.84 percent and matures on January 15, 2010.

 

Debt Strategy:

The Operating Partnership does not intend to reserve funds to retire the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured notes or its mortgages, loans payable and other obligations upon maturity. Instead, the Operating Partnership will seek to refinance such debt at maturity or retire such debt through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities on or before the applicable maturity dates. If it cannot raise sufficient proceeds to retire the maturing debt, the Operating Partnership may draw on its revolving credit facility to retire the maturing indebtedness, which would reduce the future availability of funds under such facility. As of December 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership had $107 million of outstanding borrowings under its $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Operating Partnership is reviewing various refinancing options, including the purchase of its senior unsecured notes in privately-negotiated transactions, the issuance

 

57

 

 



 

of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt, preferred stock, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt, some or all of which may be completed during 2005. The Operating Partnership anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Operating Partnership’s capital and liquidity needs both in the short and long-term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, the Corporation’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed below may be adversely affected.

Share Repurchase Program:

On September 13, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Corporation authorized an increase to the Corporation’s repurchase program under which the Corporation was permitted to purchase up to an additional $150.0 million of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”). From that date through its last purchases on January 10, 2003, the Corporation purchased and retired, under the Repurchase Program, 3.7 million shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $104.5 million. Concurrent with these purchases, the Corporation sold to the Operating Partnership 3.7 million of its outstanding common units for an aggregate cost of approximately $104.5 million. The Corporation has a remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional $45.5 million of its outstanding common stock, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.

 

Shelf Registration Statements:

The Corporation has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock and/or warrants of the Corporation, under which no securities have been sold. On July 1, 2004, the Corporation filed post-effective amendment no. 1 to this shelf registration statement, adding depositary shares and otherwise updating the disclosures contained therein. Such post-effective amendment was declared effective by the SEC on July 12, 2004.

 

The Corporation and the Operating Partnership also have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Original Joint Shelf”) filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and guarantees of the Corporation and debt securities of the Operating Partnership, under which $1,425,283,478 of securities have been sold. On July 1, 2004, the Corporation and the Operating Partnership filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “New Joint Shelf”) with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.5 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and guarantees of the Corporation and debt securities of the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the New Joint Shelf is a combined registration statement which constitutes post-effective amendment no. 1 to the Original Joint Shelf,

 

58

 

 



and the $2.5 billion available for issuance under the New Joint Shelf included the $574,716,522 of remaining availability under the Original Joint Shelf. The New Joint Shelf was declared effective by the SEC on July 22, 2004. As of February 25, 2005, $2.35 billion remained available for issuance under the New Joint Shelf.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt:

The debt of the Operating Partnership’s unconsolidated joint ventures aggregating $124.4 million, at December 31, 2004, is non-recourse to the Operating Partnership except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations. The Operating Partnership has severally guaranteed repayment of approximately $8.0 million on a mortgage at the Harborside South Pier joint venture. The Operating Partnership has also posted an $8.0 million letter of credit in support of the Harborside South Pier joint venture, $4.0 million of which is indemnified by Hyatt.

 

The Operating Partnership’s off-balance sheet arrangements are further discussed in Note 4 – “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” to the Financial Statements.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings:

On February 12, 2003, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (“NJSEA”) selected The Mills Corporation (“Mills”) and the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “Meadowlands Venture”) to redevelop the Continental Airlines Arena site (“Arena Site”) for mixed uses, including retail. Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc. (“Hartz”) has challenged the NJSEA’s selection. The NJSEA denied its protest. Westfield America, Inc. (“Westfield”) also protested the NJSEA’s selection of Mills and the Operating Partnership. Westfield’s protest was also denied by the NJSEA. Hartz and Westfield have appealed the denial of their protest. Hartz and Westfield also have appealed the NJSEA’s execution of the Final Redevelopment Agreement for the Arena Site. Four citizens, Elliot Braha, Richard DeLauro, George Perry and Carol Coronato (collectively, the “Braha Group,”) have also filed lawsuits challenging the NJSEA award to Mills and the Operating Partnership. On May 14, 2004, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, which has jurisdiction of all of the cases, issued an order deciding certain of the issues presented by the cases. The Appellate Division determined that the NJSEA had the statutory authority to develop the Arena Site for mixed uses, including retail, that the NJSEA, in selecting Mills and the Operating Partnership, did not have to utilize a traditional low bid procurement process, and that the NJSEA complied with the Open Public Meetings Act (“OPMA”) in considering and making its selection. The Appellate Division remanded Hartz’s claims for relief under the Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”).

 

59

 

 



 

Hartz thereafter petitioned the Supreme Court of New Jersey for certification of the Appellate Division’s decision. The Supreme Court denied the petition on November 5, 2004.

 

In August 2004, the Superior Court of New Jersey issued a decision on remand on the OPRA issues. The Court ordered the NJSEA to release certain documents to Hartz, but permitted the NJSEA to withhold other documents. Hartz has appealed that decision to the Appellate Division. The Court heard oral arguments on Hartz’s appeal on November 10, 2004. The Appellate Division stayed any further hearing before the NJSEA on Hartz’s bid protest until it decided the appeal. The Appellate Division issued its decision on November 24, 2004 denying all of Hartz’s claims for further relief and dissolved its stay of further hearings. Hartz thereafter petitioned the New Jersey Supreme Court for certification of the Appellate Division’s decision. The petition remains pending undecided. The supplemental hearing before the NJSEA went forward on December 15 and 16, 2004. The NJSEA’s hearing officer has yet to issue a decision on Hartz’s protest.

 

In addition to Hartz’s petition for certification pending in the Supreme Court of New Jersey, there are ten pending cases in the Appellate Division which challenge the NJSEA’s selection of the redevelopment proposal by the Meadowlands Venture and the result of the consultative process between the New Jersey Department of Environment Protection (“NJDEP”) and the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (“NJMC”), on the one hand, and the NJSEA, on the other, conducted pursuant to the requirements of the applicable NJSEA statute. Four of these appeals were filed by Hartz and two each by Westfield and the Braha Group. A ninth case was filed by the Environmental Law Clinic at Columbia Law School on behalf of the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense, New Jersey Public Interest Research Group and New Jersey Environmental Federal.

 

The tenth case was filed by the Borough of Carlstadt, New Jersey on September 30, 2004. The case was initially filed in the Superior Court law division, but was transferred to the Appellate Division on motion by the NJSEA and the Meadowlands Venture. Carlstadt argues that: (i) the retail elements of Meadowlands Xanadu are not authorized by statute; (ii) the retail elements of Meadowlands Xanadu are not tax exempt under NJSEA’s enabling act; and (iii) the PILOT program for Meadowlands Xanadu is arbitrary and capricious.

 

Another action taken against Meadowlands Xanadu was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, on December 20, 2004, by the New Jersey Builders Association (the “Builders Association”). The Builders Association claims that the NJSEA should be required to utilize its property in part for affordable housing. The Builders Association seeks an order prohibiting the development of Meadowlands Xanadu because, in the Builders Association’s view, the NJSEA’s “underutilized” parking lots should be available for the development of affordable housing. On February 4, 2005, the court denied the Builders Association’s application for a temporary restraining order. On February 18, 2005, the court denied the Builders Association’s application for a preliminary injunction and transferred the case to the Superior Court, Appellate Division, for future proceedings. The Operating Partnership and Mills are not parties to that action. The defendants are the NJMC, NJSEA, the Borough of East Rutherford, and the Planning Board of East Rutherford.

 

The Operating Partnership believes that its proposal fully complies with applicable laws and the request for proposals, and plans to vigorously enforce its rights concerning this project. The Operating Partnership does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's financial condition taken as a whole.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

Inflation

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

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

        Among the factors about which we have made assumptions are:

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

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing its business plan, the primary market risk to which the Operating Partnership is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Operating Partnership’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors.

 

Approximately $1.6 billion of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows (in thousands) based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt. The interest rate on the variable rate debt as of December 31, 2004 was LIBOR plus 65 basis points.

While the Operating Partnership has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in losses to the Operating Partnership which could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Corporation’s management, with the participation of the Corporation’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Corporation's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Operating Partnership in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Corporation’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Corporation’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Operating Partnership’s management, with the participation of the Corporation’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has established and maintained policies and procedures designed to maintain the adequacy of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting, and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(1)

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Operating Partnership;

 

(2)

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Operating Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Corporation; and

 

(3)

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Operating Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

The Operating Partnership’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on the criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment and those criteria, the Operating Partnership’s management has concluded that the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2004.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

 

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Partners of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.:

 

We have completed an integrated audit of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.’s 2004 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and audits of its 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

 

Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Operating Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Internal control over financial reporting

 

Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Operating Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Operating Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Operating Partnership’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate

MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (dollars in thousands, except per share/unit amounts)

 

1.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, together with its subsidiaries (the “Operating Partnership,”) was formed on May 31, 1994 to conduct the business of leasing, management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its sole general partner, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Corporation” or “General Partner”). The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Mack-Cali property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies (collectively, the “Property Partnerships”) is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted.

 

The General Partner is a fully integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The General Partner controls the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner, and owned an 88.9 percent and 88.4 percent common unit interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

The General Partner’s business is the ownership of interests in and operation of the Operating Partnership, and all of the General Partner’s expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. The General Partner is reimbursed by the Operating Partnership for all expenses it incurs relating to the ownership and operation of the Operating Partnership.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership owned or had interests in 273 properties plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”). The Properties aggregate approximately 29.6 million square feet, which are comprised of 165 office buildings and 97 office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 29.2 million square feet (which include three office buildings and one office/flex building aggregating 836,000 square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Operating Partnership has investment interests), six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, two retail properties totaling approximately 17,300 square feet, one hotel (which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Operating Partnership has an investment interest) and two parcels of land leased to others. The Properties are located in nine states, primarily in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Operating Partnership and its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. See Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in Note 2 for the Operating Partnership’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

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

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation.

 

 

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Rental

Property

Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Included in

 

 

72

 

 



 

total rental property is construction and development in-progress of $86,916 and $84,105 (including land of $53,705 and $49,045) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.

 

The Operating Partnership considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Operating Partnership allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

 

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

 

Leasehold interests

Remaining lease term



Buildings and improvements

5 to 40 years



Tenant improvements

The shorter of the term of the

 

related lease or useful life



Furniture, fixtures and equipment

5 to 10 years



 

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

 

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

 

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Operating Partnership’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management

 

73

 

 



 

includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Operating Partnership’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Operating Partnership’s real estate properties may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Operating Partnership’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved. Management does not believe that the value of any of the Operating Partnership’s rental properties is impaired.

 

Rental Property

Held for Sale and

Discontinued

Operations

When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Operating Partnership discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management’s opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

 

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

 

Investments in

Unconsolidated

Joint Ventures, Net

The Operating Partnership accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for which the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46”) does not apply under the equity method of accounting as the Operating Partnership exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.

 

FIN 46 provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”). Generally, FIN 46 applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential

 

74

 

 



 

characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company adopted FIN 46 in 2003. The effect of adoption was not material.

 

The Operating Partnership has evaluated its joint ventures with regards to FIN 46. As of December 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership has identified its Meadowlands Xanadu joint venture with the Mills Corporation as a VIE, but is not consolidating such venture as the Operating Partnership is not the primary beneficiary. Disclosure about this VIE is included in Note 4 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Operating Partnership’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment. Management does not believe that the value of any of the Operating Partnership’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is impaired. See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

 

Cash and Cash

Equivalents

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

 

Deferred

Financing Costs

Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related indebtedness. Amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $4,163, $4,713 and $4,739 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Deferred

Leasing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Operating Partnership are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties. The portion of such compensation, which is capitalized and amortized, approximated $3,907, $3,783 and $4,083 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Derivative

Instruments

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

 

Revenue

Recognition

Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements. Above-market and below-market

 

 

75

 

 



 

lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases. Parking and other revenue includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services arranged for the Operating Partnership, income from tenants for early lease terminations and income from managing and/or leasing properties for third parties. Escalations and recoveries are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 16: Tenant Leases.

 

Allowance for

Doubtful Accounts

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

 

Income and

Other Taxes

The Operating Partnership is a partnership and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the estimated net basis of the rental property for Federal income tax purposes was lower than the net assets as reported in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements by approximately $997,184. The Operating Partnership’s taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was estimated to be approximately $174,249 and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was approximately $182,178 and $184,783, respectively. The differences between book income and taxable income primarily result from differences in depreciation expense, the recording of rental income, differences in the deductibility of certain expenses for tax purposes, differences in revenue recognition and the rules for tax purposes of a property exchange.

 

Earnings

Per Unit

The Operating Partnership presents both basic and diluted earnings per unit (“EPU”). Basic EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders by the weighted average number of units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common unit were exercised or converted into common unit, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPU amount.

 

Distributions

Payable

The distributions payable at December 31, 2004 represents distributions payable to preferred unitholders (10,000 Series B preferred units) common unitholders (68,734,472 common units) and preferred distributions payable to preferred unitholders (215,018 Series B preferred units) for all such holders of record as of January 5, 2005 with respect to the fourth quarter 2004. The fourth quarter 2004 Series C preferred unit distributions of $50.00 per preferred unit, common unit distributions of $0.63 per common unit, as well as the fourth quarter 2004 Series B preferred

 

 

76

 

 



 

unit distributions of $18.1818 per preferred unit, were approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors on December 7, 2004. The Series C preferred unit distribution and common and Series B preferred unit distributions payable were paid on January 18, 2005.

 

The distributions payable at December 31, 2003 represents distributions payable to preferred unitholders (10,000 Series C preferred units) common unitholders (67,402,002 common units) and preferred distributions payable to preferred unitholders (215,018 Series B preferred units) for all such holders of record as of January 6, 2004 with respect to the fourth quarter 2003. The fourth quarter 2003 Series C preferred unit distributions of $50.00 per preferred unit, common unit distributions of $0.63 per common unit, as well as the fourth quarter preferred unit distributions of $18.1818 per preferred unit, were approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors on December 17, 2003. The Series C preferred unit distributions payable were paid on January 15, 2004. The common and Series B preferred unit distributions payable were paid on January 16, 2004.

 

Costs Incurred

For Preferred

Stock Issuances

Costs incurred in connection with the Corporation’s preferred stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of General Partners’ capital.

 

Stock

Compensation

The Operating Partnership accounts for stock options and restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations (“APB No. 25”). Under APB No. 25, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Corporation’s stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted. Compensation cost for stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The Corporation’s policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of the Corporation’s stock on the business day preceding the grant date. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under the Corporation’s stock option plans for the granting of stock options made prior to 2002. Restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 are valued at the vesting dates of such awards with compensation cost for such awards recognized ratably over the vesting period.

 

In 2002, the Operating Partnership adopted the provisions of FASB No. 123, which requires, on a prospective basis, that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”) and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Operating Partnership recorded restricted stock and stock options expense of $5,432, $4,353 and $1,738, respectively. FASB No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, was issued in December 2002 and amends FASB No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. FASB No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock based compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of FASB No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. FASB No. 148 disclosure requirements are presented as follows:

(4)   Paid cash consideration of approximately $12.9 million to AT&T; and

(5)   Assumed AT&T’s lease obligations with third-party landlords at seven office buildings, aggregating 922,674 square feet, which carry a weighted average remaining term of 4.5 years.

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

 

The debt of the Operating Partnership’s unconsolidated joint ventures aggregating $124,363 as of December 31, 2004 is non-recourse to the Operating Partnership, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations, and except as otherwise indicated below.

 

MEADOWLANDS XANADU

On November 25, 2003, the Operating Partnership and affiliates of The Mills Corporation (“Mills”) entered into a joint venture to form Meadowlands Mills/Mack-Cali Limited Partnership (“Meadowlands Venture”) for the purpose of developing a $1.3 billion family entertainment and recreation complex with an office and hotel component to be built at the Meadowlands sports complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey (“Meadowlands Xanadu”). Meadowlands Xanadu’s approximately 4.76 million-square-foot complex is expected to feature a family entertainment destination comprising five themed zones: sports; entertainment; children’s education; fashion; and food and home, in addition to four office buildings, aggregating approximately 1.8 million square feet, and a 520-room hotel.

 

On December 3, 2003, the Meadowlands Venture entered into a redevelopment agreement (the “Redevelopment Agreement”) with the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (“NJSEA”) for the redevelopment of the area surrounding the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey and the construction of the Meadowlands Xanadu project. The Redevelopment Agreement provides for a 75-year ground lease, which requires the joint venture to pay the NJSEA a $160,000 development rights fee at the start of construction of the entertainment phase, when all permits and approvals are obtained, and the payment of fixed rent over the term. Fixed rent will be in the amount of $1 per year for the first 15 years, increasing to $7,500 from the 16th to the 18th year, increasing to $8,447 in the 19th year, increasing to $8,700 in the 20th year, increasing to $8,961 in the 21st year, then to $9,200 in the 23rd to 26th year, with additional increases over the remainder of the term, as set forth in the ground lease. The ground lease also allows for the potential for participation rent payments by the venture, as described in the ground lease agreement. On October 5, 2004, the Meadowlands Venture and the NJSEA entered into the First Amendment to the Redevelopment Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the ground lease was also executed on October 5, 2004, but payment of the $160,000 development rights fee has been postponed until the satisfaction of certain material conditions, such as the receipt of all necessary governmental permits and approvals for the project. If the material conditions are not satisfied by March 31, 2005, the Meadowlands Venture has the right to either terminate the transaction, or tender payment of the development rights fee, subject to: (i) the NJSEA’s obligation to refund this amount if certain events adversely impacting the project occur within 12 months thereafter, and (ii) an escrow of portions of the development rights fee for up to a 12-month period. Also pursuant to the First Amendment to the Redevelopment Agreement, the Meadowlands Venture is required to convey certain vacant land, known as the Empire Tract, to a conservancy trust in exchange for a payment of $26,800 from the NJSEA. This payment will be made upon the NJSEA’s receipt of the $160,000 development rights fee.

 

The Operating Partnership and Mills own a 20 percent and 80 percent interest, respectively, in the Meadowlands Venture. These interests were subject to certain participation rights by The New York Giants, which were subsequently terminated in April 2004. The joint venture agreement requires the Operating Partnership to make an equity contribution up to a maximum of $32,500. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, Mills has received subordinated capital credit in the venture of approximately $118,000, which represents certain costs incurred by Mills in connection with the Empire Tract prior to the creation of the Meadowlands Venture. The joint venture agreement requires Mills to contribute the balance of the capital required to complete the entertainment phase, subject to certain limitations. The Operating Partnership will receive a nine percent preferred return on its equity investment, only after Mills receives a nine percent preferred return on its equity investment. Residual returns, subject to participation by other parties, will be in proportion to each partner’s respective percentage interest.

 

Mills will develop, lease and operate the entertainment phase of the Meadowlands Xanadu project. The joint venture agreement provides the Operating Partnership an option to cause the Meadowlands Venture to form component ventures for the future development of the office and hotel phases, which the Operating Partnership will develop, lease and operate. The Operating Partnership will own an 80 percent interest and Mills will own a 20 percent interest in such component ventures. The agreement provides for the first office or hotel component ventures to be formed no later than four years after the grand opening of the entertainment phase, and requires that all component ventures for the office and

 

81

 

 



 

hotel phases be formed no later than 10 years from such date, but does not require that any or all components be developed. However, under the Meadowlands Venture agreement, Mills has the ability to accelerate such formation schedule, subject to certain conditions. Should the Operating Partnership fail to meet the time schedule described above for the formation of the component ventures, the Operating Partnership will forfeit its rights to cause the Meadowlands Venture to form additional component ventures. If this occurs, Mills will have the ability to develop the additional phases, subject to the Operating Partnership’s right to participate, or to cause the Meadowlands Venture to sell such components to a third party, subject to a sales price limitation of 95 percent of the value that would have been the amount necessary to form such component ventures.

 

On February 12, 2003, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (“NJSEA”) selected The Mills Corporation (“Mills”) and the Operating Partnership to redevelop the Continental Airlines Arena site (“Arena Site”) for mixed uses, including retail. Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc. (“Hartz”) has challenged the NJSEA’s selection. The NJSEA denied its protest. Westfield America, Inc. (“Westfield”) also protested the NJSEA’s selection of Mills and the Operating Partnership. Westfield’s protest was also denied by the NJSEA. Hartz and Westfield have appealed the denial of their protest. Hartz and Westfield also have appealed the NJSEA’s execution of the Final Redevelopment Agreement for the Arena Site. Four citizens, Elliot Braha, Richard DeLauro, George Perry and Carol Coronato (collectively, the “Braha Group,”) have also filed lawsuits challenging the NJSEA award to Mills and the Operating Partnership. On May 14, 2004, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, which has jurisdiction of all of the cases, issued an order deciding certain of the issues presented by the cases. The Appellate Division determined that the NJSEA had the statutory authority to develop the Arena Site for mixed uses, including retail, that the NJSEA, in selecting Mills and the Operating Partnership, did not have to utilize a traditional low bid procurement process, and that the NJSEA complied with the Open Public Meetings Act (“OPMA”) in considering and making its selection. The Appellate Division remanded Hartz’s claims for relief under the Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”). Hartz thereafter petitioned the Supreme Court of New Jersey for certification of the Appellate Division's decision. The Supreme Court denied the petition on November 5, 2004.

 

In August 2004, the Superior Court of New Jersey issued a decision on remand on the OPRA issues. The Court ordered the NJSEA to release certain documents to Hartz, but permitted the NJSEA to withhold other documents. Hartz has appealed that decision to the Appellate Division. The Court heard oral arguments on Hartz’s appeal on November 10, 2004. The Appellate Division stayed any further hearing before the NJSEA on Hartz’s bid protest until it decided the appeal. The Appellate Division issued its decision on November 24, 2004 denying all of Hartz’s claims for further relief and dissolved its stay of further hearings. Hartz thereafter petitioned the New Jersey Supreme Court for certification of the Appellate Division’s decision. The petition remains pending undecided. The supplemental hearing before the NJSEA went forward on December 15 and 16, 2004. The NJSEA’s hearing officer has yet to issue a decision on Hartz’s protest.

 

In addition to Hartz’s petition for certification pending in the Supreme Court of New Jersey, there are ten pending cases in the Appellate Division which challenge the NJSEA’s selection of the redevelopment proposal by the Meadowlands Venture and the result of the consultative process between the New Jersey Department of Environment Protection (“NJDEP”) and the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (“NJMC”), on the one hand, and the NJSEA, on the other, conducted pursuant to the requirements of the applicable NJSEA statute. Four of these appeals were filed by Hartz and two each by Westfield and the Braha Group. A ninth case was filed by the Environmental Law Clinic at Columbia Law School on behalf of the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense, New Jersey Public Interest Research Group and New Jersey Environmental Federal.

 

The tenth case was filed by the Borough of Carlstadt, New Jersey on September 30, 2004. The case was initially filed in the Superior Court law division, but was transferred to the Appellate Division on motion by the NJSEA and the Meadowlands Venture. Carlstadt argues that: (i) the retail elements of Meadowlands Xanadu are not authorized by statute; (ii) the retail elements of Meadowlands Xanadu are not tax exempt under NJSEA’s enabling act; and (iii) the PILOT program for Meadowlands Xanadu is arbitrary and capricious.

 

Another action taken against Meadowlands Xanadu was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, on December 20, 2004, by the New Jersey Builders Association (the “Builders Association”). The Builders Association claims that the NJSEA should be required to utilize its property in part for affordable housing. The Builders Association

 

82

 

 



 

seeks an order prohibiting the development of Meadowlands Xanadu because, in the Builders Association’s view, the NJSEA’s “underutilized” parking lots should be available for the development of affordable housing. On February 4, 2005, the court denied the Builders Association’s application for a temporary restraining order. On February 18, 2005, the court denied the Builders Association’s application for a preliminary injunction and transferred the case to the Superior Court, Appellate Division, for future proceedings. The Operating Partnership and Mills are not parties to that action. The defendants are the NJMC, NJSEA, the Borough of East Rutherford, and the Planning Board of East Rutherford.

 

The Operating Partnership believes that its proposal fully complies with applicable laws and the request for proposals, and plans to vigorously enforce its rights concerning this project. The Operating Partnership does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's financial condition taken as a whole.

 

HPMC

On July 21, 1998, the Operating Partnership entered into a joint venture with HCG Development, L.L.C. and Summit Partners I, L.L.C. to form HPMC Development Partners II, L.P. (formerly known as HPMC Lava Ridge Partners, L.P.). HPMC Development Partners II, L.P.’s efforts have focused on three development projects, commonly referred to as Lava Ridge, Pacific Plaza I & II and Stadium Gateway.

 

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

 

Lava Ridge

Lava Ridge is an office complex comprised of three two-story buildings, aggregating 183,200 square feet, located in Roseville, California, which was constructed and placed in service by the venture. On May 30, 2002, the venture sold the office complex for approximately $31,700.

 

Stadium Gateway

Stadium Gateway is a development joint venture project, located in Anaheim, California between HPMC Development Partners II, L.P. and a third-party entity. The venture constructed a six-story, 273,194 square foot office building, which commenced initial operations in January 2002. On April 1, 2003, the venture sold the office property for approximately $52,500.

 

Pacific Plaza I & II

Pacific Plaza I & II is a two-phase development joint venture project, located in Daly City, California between, HPMC Development Partners II, L.P. and a third-party entity. Phase I of the project, which commenced initial operations in August 2001, consists of a nine-story office building, aggregating 364,384 square feet. Phase II, which comprises a three-story retail and theater complex, commenced initial operations in June 2002. On August 27, 2004, the venture sold the Pacific Plaza I & II complex for approximately $143,000. The Operating Partnership performed management services for the property while it was owned by the venture and recognized $203, $318 and $315 in fees for such services in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

G&G MARTCO (Convention Plaza)

The Operating Partnership holds a 50 percent interest in G&G Martco, which owns Convention Plaza, a 305,618 square foot office building, located in San Francisco, California. The venture has a mortgage loan with a $43,236 balance at December 31, 2004 collateralized by its office property. The loan also provides the venture the ability to increase the

 

83

 

 



 

balance of the loan up to an additional $4,681 for the funding of qualified leasing costs. The loan bears interest at a rate of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (2.40 percent at December 31, 2004) plus 162.5 basis points and matures in August 2006. The Operating Partnership performs management and leasing services for the property owned by the joint venture and recognized $131, $225 and $254 in fees for such services in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

AMERICAN FINANCIAL EXCHANGE L.L.C./PLAZA VIII AND IX ASSOCIATES, L.L.C.

On May 20, 1998, the Operating Partnership entered into a joint venture with Columbia Development Company, L.L.C. (“Columbia”) to form American Financial Exchange L.L.C. The venture was formed to acquire land for future development, located on the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City, New Jersey, adjacent to the Operating Partnership’s Harborside Financial Center office complex. Among other things, the partnership agreement provides for a preferred return on the Operating Partnership’s invested capital in the venture, in addition to the Operating Partnership’s proportionate share of the venture’s profit, as defined in the agreement. The joint venture acquired land on which it initially constructed a parking facility, a portion of which is currently licensed to a parking operator. Such parking facility serves a ferry service between the Operating Partnership’s Harborside property and Manhattan. In the fourth quarter 2000, the joint venture started construction of Plaza 10, a 577,575 square foot office building, which was 100 percent pre-leased to Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. (“Schwab”) for a 15-year term, on certain of the land owned by the venture. The lease agreement with Schwab obligated the venture, among other things, to deliver space to the tenant by required timelines and offers expansion options, at the tenant’s election.

 

Such options may have obligated the venture to construct an additional building or, at the Operating Partnership’s option, to make space available in any of its existing Harborside properties. Had the venture been unable to, or chosen not to, provide such expansion space, the venture would have been liable to Schwab for its actual damages, in no event to exceed $15,000. The amount of Schwab’s actual damages, up to $15,000, had been guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. As described below, the Operating Partnership no longer has any remaining obligations to Schwab following the sale of the Operating Partnership’s interests in the venture. AFE has an agreement with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey, in which it is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes (“PILOT”). The agreement is for a term of 20 years. The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs, as defined, with periodic increases, as defined. Total Project Costs, per the agreement, are the greater of $78,821 or actual Total Project Costs, as defined.

 

The Operating Partnership performed management, leasing and development services for the Plaza 10 property when it was owned by the venture and recognized $0, $2,692 and $156 in fees from the venture for such services in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

On September 29, 2003, the Operating Partnership sold its interest in AFE, in which it held a 50 percent interest, and received approximately $162,145 in net sales proceeds from the transaction, which the Operating Partnership used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Operating Partnership recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $23,952, which is recorded in gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint venture for the year ended December 31, 2003. Following completion of the sale of its interest, the Operating Partnership no longer has any remaining obligations to Schwab.

 

In advance of the transaction, AFE distributed its interests in Plaza VIII and IX Associates, L.L.C., which owned the undeveloped land currently used as a parking facility, to its then partners, the Operating Partnership and Columbia. The Operating Partnership and Columbia subsequently entered into a new joint venture to own and manage the undeveloped land and related parking operations through Plaza VIII and IX Associates, L.L.C. The Operating Partnership and Columbia each hold a 50 percent interest in the new venture.

 

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

On August 20, 1998, the Operating Partnership entered into a joint venture with S.B. New York Realty Corp. to form Ramland Realty Associates L.L.C. The venture was formed to own, manage and operate One Ramland Road, a 232,000 square foot office/flex building and adjacent developable land, located in Orangeburg, New York. In August 1999, the joint venture completed redevelopment of the property and placed the office/flex building in service. The Operating Partnership holds a 50 percent interest in the joint venture. The venture has a mortgage loan with a $14,936 balance at December 31, 2004 secured by its office/flex property. The mortgage bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 175 basis

points and matures in January 2007, with a two-year extension option.

 

In 2001, the property’s then principal tenant, Superior Bank, was closed by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was named receiver. The tenant continued to meet its rental payment obligations through June 2002. In July 2002, the tenant vacated the premises and the FDIC notified the joint venture that it was rejecting the lease as of July 16, 2002. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the tenant’s ability to meet its obligations through the remainder of the term of its lease, the joint venture wrote off unbilled rents receivable of $1,573 and deferred lease costs of $705, which was included in the Operating Partnership’s equity in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2002. Subsequently, the venture’s management determined it was unlikely a prospective tenant would retain tenant improvements previously made to Superior Bank’s space and, accordingly, the venture accelerated amortization of those tenant improvements and recorded a charge of $3,586, which is included in the Operating Partnership’s equity in earnings in the year ended September 30, 2003. The Operating Partnership performs management, leasing and other services for the property owned by the joint venture and recognized $165, $12 and $56 in fees for such services in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

 

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

On September 18, 1998, the Operating Partnership entered into a joint venture with Prudential to form Ashford Loop Associates L.P. The venture was formed to own, manage and operate 1001 South Dairy Ashford, a 130,000 square foot office building acquired on September 18, 1998, and 2100 West Loop South, a 168,000 square foot office building acquired on November 25, 1998, both located in Houston, Texas. The Operating Partnership holds a 20 percent interest in the joint venture. Included in depreciation and amortization in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 presented herein for the joint venture is a valuation allowance of $24,575 on account of the carrying value of the venture’s assets exceeding the net realizable value as of December 31, 2004. Included in the Operating Partnership’s equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint venture for the year ended December 31, 2004 was a $4,915 loss representing the Operating Partnership’s share of the valuation allowance. The Operating Partnership performed management and leasing services through March 2002 for the properties owned by the joint venture and recognized $45 in fees for such services in the year ended March 31, 2002. On February 25, 2005, the Operating Partnership sold its interest in the venture to Prudential for approximately $2,700.

 

SOUTH PIER AT HARBORSIDE – HOTEL DEVELOPMENT

On November 17, 1999, the Operating Partnership entered into a joint venture with Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”) to develop a 350-room hotel on the South Pier at Harborside Financial Center, Jersey City, New Jersey, which was completed and commenced initial operations in July 2002. The Operating Partnership owns a 50 percent interest in the venture.

 

The venture had a mortgage loan with a commercial bank with a $62,902 balance at December 31, 2003 collateralized by its hotel property. The debt bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points, which was scheduled to mature in December 2003, and was extended through January 29, 2004. On that date, the venture repaid the mortgage loan using the proceeds from a new $40,000 mortgage loan, collateralized by the hotel property, as well as capital contributions from the Operating Partnership and Hyatt of $10,750 each. The new loan carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points and matures in February 2006. The loan provides for three one-year extension options subject to certain conditions. The final two one-year extension options require payment of a fee. On May 25, 2004, the venture obtained a second mortgage loan with a commercial bank for $20,000 (with a balance as of December 31, 2004 of $16,000) collateralized by the hotel property, in which each partner, including the Operating Partnership, has severally guaranteed repayment of approximately $8,000. The loan carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 175 basis points and matures in February 2006. The loan provides for three one-year extension options subject to certain conditions. The final two one-year extension options require payment of a fee. The proceeds from this loan were used to make distributions to the Operating Partnership and Hyatt in the amount of $10,000 each. Additionally, the venture has an $8,000 loan with the City of Jersey City, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The loan currently bears interest at fixed rates ranging from 6.09 percent to 6.62 percent and matures in August 2020. The Operating Partnership has posted an $8,000 letter of credit in support of this loan, $4,000 of which is indemnified by Hyatt.

 

NORTH PIER AT HARBORSIDE – RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

On April 3, 2001, the Operating Partnership sold its North Pier at Harborside Financial Center, Jersey City, New Jersey to an entity which planned on developing residential housing on the site. At the time, the Operating Partnership received

net sales proceeds of approximately $3,357 (which included a note receivable of $2,027 subsequently repaid in 2002), and recognized a gain of $439 from the transaction. On March 31, 2004, the Operating Partnership received additional purchase consideration of $720, for which the Operating Partnership recorded a gain of $720 in gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2004.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

On December 3, 2004, the Operating Partnership identified its 318,224 square foot office property located at 210 South 16th Street in Omaha, Nebraska as held for sale. The property was subsequently sold by the Operating Partnership on February 4, 2005 for approximately $8,675.

 

On October 15, 2004, the Operating Partnership identified its 75,668 square foot office property located at 3 Skyline Drive in Hawthorne, New York as held for sale. The property was subsequently sold by the Operating Partnership on February 15, 2005 for approximately $9,618.

 

On August 5, 2004, the Operating Partnership identified its 387,000 square foot office property located at 340 Mount Kemble Avenue in Morris Township, New Jersey as held for sale. The property was subsequently sold by the Operating Partnership on October 5, 2004 for approximately $77,000.

 

On June 30, 2004, the Operating Partnership identified three office properties, which are located at 3030 L.B.J. Freeway, Dallas, Texas; 1122 Alma Road, Richardson, Texas; and 84 N.E. Loop 410, San Antonio, Texas, and which aggregate 636,906 square feet, as held for sale. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Operating Partnership determined that the carrying amounts of the properties identified as held for sale were not expected to be recovered from estimated net sale proceeds from these property sales and, accordingly, recognized a valuation allowance of $11,856 in that period. On November 23, 2004, the Operating Partnership sold 3030 L.B.J. Freeway, Dallas, Dallas County and 84 N.E. Loop 410, San Antonio, Bexar County in a single transaction with one buyer for approximately $39,100. On February 11, 2005, the Operating Partnership sold its remaining, wholly-owned Texas property, 1122 North Alma Road, a 82,576 square foot office building in Richardson, for approximately $2,125.

The above referenced properties identified as held for sale as of December 31, 2004 carried an aggregate book value of $19,132, net of accumulated depreciation of $1,550 and a valuation allowance of $1,247 at December 31, 2004.

 

The Operating Partnership has presented these assets as discontinued operations in its statements of operations for the periods presented. As the Operating Partnership sold 1770 St. James Place, Houston, Texas; 111 Soledad, San Antonio, Texas; and land in Hamilton Township, New Jersey during the year ended December 31, 2003, the Operating Partnership has also presented these assets as discontinued operations in its statements of operations for the periods presented.

UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

 

2004 Unsecured Facility

On November 23, 2004, the Operating Partnership obtained an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2004 Unsecured Facility”) with a current borrowing capacity of $600.0 million from a group of 27 lenders. The interest rate on any outstanding borrowings under the 2004 Unsecured Facility is currently LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The Operating Partnership may instead elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The 2004 Unsecured Facility also currently requires a 20 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears. The 2004 Unsecured Facility matures in November 2007, with an extension option of one year, which would require a payment of 25 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the facility upon exercise.

The terms of the 2004 Unsecured Facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Operating Partnership to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Operating Partnership is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of interest coverage, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, except to enable the Corporation to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, the Operating Partnership will not during any four consecutive fiscal quarters make distributions with respect to common stock or other common equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of 90 percent of funds from operations (as defined in the facility agreement) for such period, subject to certain other adjustments.

The interest rate on borrowings under the 2002 Unsecured Facility was LIBOR plus 70 basis points. The Operating Partnership could have instead elected an interest rate representing the higher of the lender’s prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points.

PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

 

Partners’ capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to: (a) General Partner’s capital, consisting of common units and Series C preferred units held by the Corporation in the Operating Partnership, and (b) Limited Partners’ capital, consisting of common units held by the limited partners and Series B preferred units.

 

Any transactions resulting in the issuance of additional common and preferred stock of the Corporation result in a corresponding issuance by the Operating Partnership of an equivalent amount of common and preferred units to the Corporation.

 

GENERAL PARTNER:

 

PREFERRED STOCK

On March 14, 2003, in a publicly registered transaction with a single institutional buyer, the Corporation completed the sale and issuance of 10,000 shares of eight-percent Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) in the form of 1,000,000 depositary shares ($25 stated value per depositary share). Each depositary share represents 1/100th of a share of Series C Preferred Stock. The Corporation received net proceeds of approximately $24,836 from the sale.

 

The Series C Preferred Stock has preference rights with respect to liquidation and distributions over the common stock. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, except under certain limited conditions, will not be entitled to vote on any matters. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on the Corporation’s Board of Directors until dividends have been paid in full. At December 31, 2004, there were no dividends in arrears. The Corporation may issue unlimited additional preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock but may not issue any preferred stock senior to the Series C Preferred Stock without the consent of two-thirds of its holders. The Series C Preferred Stock is essentially on an equivalent basis in priority with the Preferred Units.

 

Except under certain conditions relating to the Corporation’s qualification as a REIT, the Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to March 14, 2008. On and after such date, the Series C Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the Corporation, in whole or in part, at $25 per depositary share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

In connection with the Corporation’s issuance of $25,000 of Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, the Corporation acquired from the Operating Partnership $25,000 of Series C Preferred Units (the “Series C Preferred Units”), which have terms essentially identical to the Series C preferred stock and rank equal with the Series B Preferred Units.

 

REPURCHASE OF GENERAL PARTNER UNITS

On September 13, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Corporation authorized an increase to the Corporation’s repurchase program under which the Corporation was permitted to purchase up to an additional $150,000 of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”). From that date through its last purchases on January 10, 2003, the Corporation purchased and retired, under the Repurchase Program, 3,746,400 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $104,512. Concurrent with these purchases, the Corporation sold to the Operating Partnership 3,746,400 of its outstanding common units for an aggregate cost of approximately $104,512. The Corporation has a remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional $45,488 of its outstanding common stock, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.

 

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Corporation has a dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan, which commenced in March 1999.

 

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

On June 10, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Corporation authorized a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right (“Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock which were distributed to all holders of record of

 

97

 

 



 

the common stock on July 6, 1999. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Corporation one one-thousandth of a share of Series A junior participating preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Shares”), at a price of $100.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share (“Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in the rights agreement. The Rights expire on July 6, 2009, unless the expiration date is extended or the Right is redeemed or exchanged earlier by the Corporation.

 

The Rights are attached to each share of common stock. The Rights are generally exercisable only if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 15 percent or more of the outstanding common stock or announces a tender offer for 15 percent or more of the outstanding common stock (“Acquiring Person”). In the event that a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right will have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock having a market value equal to two times the Purchase Price of the Right.

 

STOCK OPTION PLANS

In May 2004, the Corporation established the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan under which a total of 2,500,000 shares have been reserved for issuance. No options have been granted through December 31, 2004 under this plan. In September 2000, the Corporation established the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (“2000 Employee Plan”) and the 2000 Director Stock Option Plan (“2000 Director Plan”). In May 2002, shareholders of the Corporation approved amendments to both plans to increase the total shares reserved for issuance under both of the 2000 plans from 2,700,000 to 4,350,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock (from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 shares under the 2000 Employee Plan and from 200,000 to 350,000 shares under the 2000 Director Plan). In 1994, and as subsequently amended, the Corporation established the Mack-Cali Employee Stock Option Plan (“Employee Plan”) and the Mack-Cali Director Stock Option Plan (“Director Plan”) under which a total of 5,380,188 shares (subject to adjustment) of the Corporation’s common stock have been reserved for issuance (4,980,188 shares under the Employee Plan and 400,000 shares under the Director Plan). Stock options granted under the Employee Plan in 1994 and 1995 became exercisable over a three-year period. Stock options granted under the 2000 Employee Plan and those options granted subsequent to 1995 under the Employee Plan become exercisable over a five-year period. All stock options granted under both the 2000 Director Plan and Director Plan become exercisable in one year. All options were granted at the fair market value at the dates of grant and have terms of ten years. As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 6.5 and 6.9 years, respectively.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS

The Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which commenced January 1, 1999, allows non-employee directors of the Corporation to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their annual retainer fee into deferred stock units. The deferred stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the directors’ termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control of the Corporation, as defined in the plan. Deferred stock units are credited to each director quarterly using the closing price of the Corporation’s common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of deferred stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, 6,230, 6,256 and 5,324 deferred stock units were earned, respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, there were 29,222 and 23,131 director stock units outstanding, respectively.

 

LIMITED PARTNERS’ CAPITAL:

 

SERIES B PREFERRED UNITS

The Series B Preferred Units have a stated value of $1,000 per unit and are preferred as to assets over any class of

 

100

 

 



 

common units or other class of preferred units of the Operating Partnership, based on circumstances per the applicable unit certificates. The quarterly distribution on each Series B Preferred Unit is an amount equal to the greater of (i) $16.875 (representing 6.75 percent of the Series B Preferred Unit stated value of an annualized basis) or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series B Preferred Unit determined as if such unit had been converted into common units, subject to adjustment for customary anti-dilution rights. Each of the Series B Preferred Units may be converted at any time into common units at a conversion price of $34.65 per unit. Common units received pursuant to such conversion may be redeemed for an equal number of shares of common stock. At any time after June 11, 2005, the Operating Partnership may cause the mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Units into common units at the conversion price of $34.65 per unit if, for at least 20 of the prior consecutive 30 days, the closing price of the Corporation’s common stock equals or exceeds $34.65. The Operating Partnership is prohibited from taking certain actions that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of Series B Preferred Units without the consent of at least 66 2/3 percent of the outstanding Series B Preferred Units, including authorizing, creating or issuing any additional preferred units ranking senior to or equal with the Series B Preferred Units; provided, however, that such consent is not required if the Operating Partnership issues preferred units ranking equal (but not senior) to the Series B Preferred Units in an aggregate amount up to the greater of (a) $200,000 in stated value or (b) 10 percent of the sum of (1) the combined market capitalization of the Corporation’s common stock and the Operating Partnership’s common units and Series B Preferred Units, as if converted into common stock, and (2) the aggregate liquidation preference on any of the Corporation’s non-convertible preferred stock or the Operating Partnership’s non-convertible preferred units. As of December 31, 2004, the calculation in the above clause (b) was $347,084.

 

As of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Operating Partnership had 215,018, 215,018 and 215,894 Series B Preferred Units outstanding (convertible into 6,205,425, 6,205,425 and 6,230,707 common units), respectively.

 

COMMON UNITS

Certain individuals and entities own common units in the Operating Partnership. A common unit and a share of common stock of the Corporation have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Common units are redeemable by the common unitholders at their option, subject to certain restrictions, on the basis of one common unit for either one share of common stock or cash equal to the fair market value of a share at the time of the redemption. The Corporation has the option to deliver shares of common stock in exchange for all or any portion of the cash requested. The common unitholders may not put the units for cash to the Corporation or the Operating Partnership. When a unitholder redeems a common unit for common stock of the Corporation, limited partners’ capital is reduced and the General Partners’ Capital is increased.

 

As of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Operating Partnership had 7,616,447, 7,795,498 and 7,813,806 common units outstanding, respectively.

 

EARNINGS PER UNIT

Basic EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders by the weighted average number of units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common units were exercised or converted into common units.

All employees of the Corporation who meet certain minimum age and period of service requirements are eligible to participate in a 401(k) defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan allows eligible employees to defer up to 15 percent of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. The Operating Partnership, at management’s discretion, may match employee contributions and/or make discretionary contributions. Total expense recognized by the Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $400, $336 and $313, respectively.

 

 

14.

DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgement is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Operating Partnership could realize on disposition of the financial instruments at December 31, 2004 and 2003. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

Cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

The fair value of the fixed-rate mortgage debt and unsecured notes as of December 31, 2004 was approximately $104.2 million higher than the book value of approximately $1.6 billion primarily due to the general decrease in market interest rates on secured and unsecured debt. As of December 31, 2003, the fair value of fixed-rate mortgage debt and unsecured notes was approximately $141.8 million higher than the book value of approximately $1.6 billion. The fair value of the mortgage debt and the unsecured notes was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.

 

103

 

 



 

 

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2004 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Operating Partnership sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Corporation’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Operating Partnership or the Corporation or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property. The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2008. Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Operating Partnership is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the appropriate Mack Group, Robert Martin Group or Cali Group members.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

William L. Mack, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (“W. Mack”), is a principal in the Apollo real estate funds, which owned approximately a 7.5 percent interest in Insignia/ESG, Inc. (“Insignia”), a publicly-traded commercial leasing and real estate services company. The interest in Insignia was subsequently disposed of in 2003. Prior to 2003, the Operating Partnership paid Insignia commissions on numerous leasing transactions, as well as for the sale of five of its properties. The Operating Partnership paid commissions to Insignia amounting to approximately $1,975 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Operating Partnership had engaged Insignia as its exclusive leasing agent at Harborside Financial Center through late 2002. Additionally, an affiliate of Insignia leased 40,504 square feet at one of the Operating Partnership’s office properties, which was sold by the Operating Partnership in May 2002. The Operating Partnership recognized $386 in revenue under this lease for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

W. Mack, David S. Mack, a director of the Corporation, and Earle I. Mack, a former director of the Corporation (“E. Mack”), are the executive officers, directors and stockholders of a corporation that entered into a lease in 2000 at one of the Operating Partnership’s office properties for approximately 7,801 square feet, which was scheduled to expire in November 2005. In November 2004, the lease was renewed for an additional three years, and is now scheduled to expire in November 2008. The Operating Partnership has recognized $227, $218 and $220 in revenue under this lease for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and had no accounts receivable from the corporation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

The Operating Partnership has conducted business with certain entities (“RMC Entity” or “RMC Entities”), whose principals include Timothy M. Jones, Robert F. Weinberg and Martin S. Berger, each of whom are affiliated with the Operating Partnership as the former president of the Corporation, a current member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and a former member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, respectively. In connection with the Operating Partnership’s acquisition of 65 Class A properties from The Robert Martin Company (“Robert Martin”) on January 31, 1997, as subsequently modified, the Operating Partnership granted Robert Martin the right to designate one seat on the Corporation’s Board of Directors (“RM Board Seat”), which right has since expired. Robert Martin designated Martin S. Berger and Robert F. Weinberg to jointly share the RM Board Seat, as follows: Mr. Weinberg served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation from 1997 until December 1, 1998, at which time Mr. Weinberg resigned and Mr. Berger was appointed to serve in such capacity. Mr. Berger served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation from December 1, 1998 until March 6, 2001, at which time Mr. Berger resigned and Mr. Weinberg was appointed to serve in such capacity until the Corporation’s 2003 annual meeting of stockholders. The Corporation elected to nominate for re-election to its Board of Directors Mr. Berger at the Corporation’s 2003 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Berger was elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and Mr. Berger and Mr. Weinberg have agreed that the seat will be rotated among Mr. Berger and Mr. Weinberg annually at the time of each annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Weinberg currently serves in this capacity. Upon the death of Mr. Berger or Mr. Weinberg, the surviving person shall solely fill the remainder of the term of the RM Board Seat. Such business was as follows:

 

(1)

On June 12, 2002, the Operating Partnership acquired from RMC Entities three land parcels located in Hawthorne and Yonkers, Westchester County, New York in one transaction for a total cost of approximately $2,600.

(2)

The Operating Partnership had a loan payable of $500 to an RMC Entity in connection with the Operating Partnership’s acquisition in May 1999 of 2.5 acres of land, which the Operating Partnership acquired for a total cost of approximately $2,200, of which $1,500 was paid in cash. The loan required quarterly payments of interest only at an annual interest rate of 10.5 percent. The Operating Partnership repaid the loan in full in October 2002 and incurred $43 in interest expense for the year ended December 2002 in connection with the loan.

(3)

The Operating Partnership provides management, leasing and construction-related services to properties in which RMC Entities have an ownership interest. The Operating Partnership recognized approximately $1,996, $1,831 and $2,024 in revenue from RMC Entities for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, the Operating Partnership had no accounts receivable from RMC Entities.

(4)

An RMC Entity leases space at one of the Operating Partnership’s office properties for approximately 3,330 square feet, which carries a month-to-month term. The Operating Partnership has recognized $91, $89 and $89,

 

 

108

 

 



 

in revenue under this lease for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and had no accounts receivable due from the RMC Entity, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Mr. Berger holds a 24 percent interest, acts as chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Weinberg also holds a 24 percent interest and is a director, and W. Mack holds a nine percent interest and is a director of City and Suburban Federal Savings Bank and/or one of its affiliates, which leases a total of 15,879 square feet of space at two of the Operating Partnership’s office properties, comprised of 3,037 square feet scheduled to expire in June 2008 and 12,842 square feet scheduled to expire in April 2013. The Operating Partnership has recognized $459, $429 and $306 in revenue under the leases for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and had no accounts receivable from the company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Vincent Tese, a director of the Corporation, is also currently a director of Cablevision, Inc. who, through its affiliates, leases an aggregate of 58,885 square feet of office space, as well as has several telecom licensing agreements at the Operating Partnership’s properties. The Operating Partnership recognized approximately $1,695, $1,645 and $1,464 in total revenue from affiliates of Cablevision for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and had accounts receivable of $2 and $0, respectively, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Vincent Tese is currently a member of the Board of Directors of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. W. Mack had been a member of the Board of Bear Stearns until October 2004. Bear Stearns acted as underwriter on several of the Operating Partnership’s previously-completed public debt offerings.

 

The son of Mr. Berger, a former officer of the Corporation, served as an officer and had a financial interest which was sold in 2004 in a company which provides cleaning and other related services to certain of the Operating Partnership’s properties. The Operating Partnership has incurred costs from this company of approximately $5,906, $6,177 and $5,648 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, the Operating Partnership had accounts payable of approximately $0 and $1 to this company.

 

Pursuant to an agreement between the Operating Partnership and certain members and associates of the Cali family executed June 27, 2000, John J. Cali was to serve as the Chairman Emeritus and a Board member of the Corporation, and as a consultant to the Operating Partnership and was paid an annual salary of $150 from June 27, 2000 through June 27, 2003. Additionally, the Operating Partnership provides office space and administrative support to John J. Cali, Angelo Cali, his brother, and Ed Leshowitz, his business partner (the “Cali Group”). Such services were in effect from June 27, 2000 through June 27, 2004. Subsequent to June 27, 2004, the Operating Partnership agreed to provide office space at no cost to the Cali Group for one additional year, as well as provide administrative support and related services for which it would be reimbursed. The Operating Partnership was reimbursed $55 from the Cali Group for the year ended December 31, 2004 in connection with providing such services.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

EITF 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under SFAS 128

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a final consensus regarding Issue 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under SFAS 128 (“EITF 03-6”). The issue addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that participate in dividends and earnings of the issuing entity. Such securities are contractually entitled to receive dividends when and if the entity declares dividends on common stock. The issue also provides further guidance on applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. This consensus is effective for the period ended June 30, 2004 and is applied by restating previously reported earnings per share. Upon the adoption of EITF 03-6, the Operating Partnership determined that its Series B Preferred Units are participating securities, however, their reclassification as participating securities had no impact on the Operating Partnership's computation or presentation of basic or diluted EPU for all periods presented.

SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment

In October 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires companies to categorize share-based payments as either liability or equity awards. For liability awards, companies will remeasure the award at fair value at each balance sheet date until the award is settled. Equity classified awards are measured at the grant-date fair value and are not remeasured. SFAS 123R will be effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Awards issued, modified, or settled after the effective date will be measured and recorded in accordance with SFAS 123R. The Company believes that the implementation of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

SFAS No. 153, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions” (“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 requires non-monetary exchanges to be accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gain or loss, if the transactions meet a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable. SFAS No. 153 is effective for non-monetary transactions occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company believes that the implementation of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

EIFT 03-13, Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations

 

At its September 2004 meeting, the Task Force reached the following conclusions:

 

A reassessment period is necessary in evaluating whether a disposal meets the criteria for discounted operations reporting; the reassessment period should include the point at which the component initially meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale through one year after the component’s disposal date. However, the Task Force concluded that the reassessment will be required only when significant changes in events or circumstances make it likely that the criteria in paragraph 42 of SFAS 144 will, or will no longer, be met one year after the disposal date.

There is a presumption that the continued sale of a commodity in an active market should be considered a migration of customers.

For the purpose of determining whether operations and cash flows are eliminated, the determination will be limited to evaluating gross cash inflows (revenues) and outflows (costs) versus evaluating other operating measures such as gross profit or net income.

The retention of risks associated with the ongoing operations of the disposed component or the ability to obtain benefits associated with the ongoing operations of the disposed component should be considered in evaluating whether the entity has the ability to influence the operating and/or financial policies of the disposed component.

As a result, factors (b) and (c) were eliminated from paragraph 9 of the draft abstract.

 

The Task Force affirmed the consensus as previously exposed with the following modifications/clarifications:

 

The period for assessing whether a component has met the criteria for discontinued operations could extend beyond one year if events or circumstance beyond an entity’s control extend the period required to eliminate direct cash flows of the disposed component or eliminate significant continuing involvement in the ongoing operations of the disposed component provided that the entity (1) takes actions necessary to respond to those situations, and (2) expects to eliminate the direct cash flows and the significant continuing involvement. The extension of the assessment period is only for determining whether a component has met the criteria for discontinued operations, and is not an extension of the assessment period for the held-for-sale classification of the component.

 

 

110

 

 



 

For a component disposed of or classified as held for sale at the balance sheet date, significant events or circumstances that occur after the balance sheet date but before issuance of the financial statements should be taken into account in determining whether to report the results of operations of the component as discontinued operations. This guidance is limited to whether the operations of a component should be presented as discontinued operations, and it does not affect the classification as held for sale.

 

The consensus is effective for components classified as held for sale or disposed of in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004. Application of the consensus to disposal transactions initiated in the current year is permitted but not required and would result in a reclassification of previously issued results of operations.
