NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.             SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION

 

Bresler & Reiner, Inc. (“B&R” and, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “we,” the “Company” or “us”) engages in the acquisition, development and ownership of commercial, residential and hospitality real estate located in the Washington, DC, Orlando, Florida and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania metropolitan areas.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bresler & Reiner, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries, and entities which we control or, entities that are required to be consolidated under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”). Entities which we do not control or entities that are not required to be consolidated under FIN 46R, are accounted for under the equity method.

 

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Real estate sales—Gains on sales of homes and land parcels are recognized pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.”  Revenues and cost of sales are recorded at the time each home or land parcel is closed and title and possession have been transferred to the buyer. Homebuilding and related costs are charged to the cost of the homes closed under the specific identification method.  Land development costs are charged to the cost of land parcels closed on a relative sales value basis.

 

Leasing operations—We recognize revenue in accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases.” SFAS No. 13 requires that revenue be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease for operating leases.

 

Hospitality revenue—We recognize hospitality revenue as services are provided.

 

Rental, construction and management fees—We generally recognize rental, construction and management fees as services are provided.

 

RENTAL PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Rental property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally 40 years for buildings and three to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Replacements and renovations that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense totaled $1,761,000 and $545,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively and $5,400,000 and $2,835,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured based on net, undiscounted expected cash flows. Assets are considered to be impaired if the undiscounted expected cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets. Impairment charges are recorded based upon the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the fair value.

PROPERTY AND LAND UNDER DEVELOPMENT

 

When construction commences, costs are transferred to property and land development where they are accumulated by project. Project costs included in property and land development include capitalized interest, property taxes, materials and labor. These costs are charged to costs of homes and lots sold on a pro rata basis as properties and lots are sold, in accordance with SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects.”

 

We review our accumulated costs to ensure that any costs in excess of net realizable value are charged to operations when identified. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, we capitalized $462,000 and $1,168,000 of interest, respectively, related to our equity investments in development projects.

 

LAND HELD FOR INVESTMENT

 

Land held for investment is recorded at cost and reviewed for impairment when such indicators arise.  If determined to be impaired, it is recorded at the estimated fair value.

 

INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO JOINT VENTURES AND PARTNERSHIPS

 

For entities that are not deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”), as set forth in FASB Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51” as revised in December 2003, (“FIN 46R”), we account for our investments in these partnerships and joint ventures in accordance with Statement of Position No. 78-9, “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” and APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.” For entities in which we have a controlling interest, we consolidate the investment and a minority interest is recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Minority interest in the balance sheet represents the minority owners’ share of equity as of the balance sheet date; minority interest in the statements of operations represents the minority owners’ share of the income or loss of the consolidated joint venture. For entities in which we do not have a controlling interest, we account for our investment using the equity method of accounting and do not consolidate the investment. We evaluate control primarily based on the investors’ relative voting rights in the joint venture.

 

For entities that are deemed to be VIEs, as set forth in FIN 46R, we account for our investments in joint ventures based on a determination of the entity’s primary beneficiary. If we are the primary beneficiary through being subject to a majority of the potential variability in gains or losses of the VIE (with the primary focus on losses), then we consolidate our investment in the joint venture. If we are not the primary beneficiary, then we account for our investment by the equity method.

 

DEFERRED CHARGES AND OTHER ASSETS

 

Included in deferred charges are fees incurred in connection with obtaining financing for our real estate. These fees are deferred and amortized as a part of interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. In addition, deferred costs include leasing charges, comprised of tenant allowances and lease commissions incurred to originate a lease, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.

 

The application of SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (together “SFAS Nos. 141 and 142”) to real estate acquisitions requires us to allocate the purchase price to acquired in-place leases in addition to land, building and improvements based on the relative fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired.  In order to determine the amount of the purchase price to be allocated to the acquired leases, we are required to make several assumptions regarding the relative value of the in-place leases when compared to the current market. Some of the judgments required as a part of this exercise include (1) determining the market rental rates of the acquired leases, (2) estimating the market value of concessions (rent abatements, tenant improvement allowances, etc.) and leasing commissions to be paid on new leases, (3) estimating the lease-up period required to achieve the occupancy levels that the property has at the time of the acquisition, and (4) applying an estimated risk-adjusted discount rate to the existing tenants’ leases. As a result of adopting SFAS Nos. 141 and 142, we have intangible lease assets totaling $14,639,000 and $6,911,000 at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, related to the fair value of acquired leases. The lease intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the acquired leases.

 

The amortization of deferred charges and other assets, including the amortization of acquired in-place leases, totaled $1,001,000 and $1,135,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively and $3,206,000 and $1,838,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the stated amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses presented in the financial statements, as well as the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities. Consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates that have been reported in our financial statements.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain amounts in the 2003 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

We have no dilutive securities; therefore, basic and fully diluted earnings per share are identical.

 

On June 16, 2004, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized Common Stock from 4,000,000 shares to 7,000,000 shares.  On the same date the Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 stock split of the Company’s common stock which was affected in the form of a stock dividend.  On July 21, 2004, stockholders holding more than fifty percent of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock executed the shareholder consent to this amendment.  The amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on September 1, 2004 at which time the stock dividend was distributed.  Earnings per share are based upon the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the quarter and have been restated for the 2-for-1 stock split.  Weighted average common shares outstanding were 5,477,212 for both the three month and nine month period ended September 30, 2004 and both the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2003.

 

DIVIDENDS

 

On May 17, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.50 per common share, $0.25 per share of which was paid on June 15, 2004.  The remaining dividend payment will be made on December 15, 2004 at an adjusted per share amount of $0.125.  The per-share payment has been adjusted to take into account the 2-for-1 stock split.

 

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

 

Except for net income, we do not have any items impacting comprehensive income. Therefore, comprehensive income and net income are the same.

 

2.             NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

FASB Interpretation No. 46R—In December 2003, the FASB issued the revised FIN 46R, to expand upon and strengthen existing accounting guidance that address when a company should include the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity in its financial statements. To improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities (“VIEs”), FIN 46R requires that a VIE be consolidated by a company if that company is the primary beneficiary through being subject to a majority of the potential variability in gains or losses of the VIE (with the primary focus on losses).  Prior to FIN 46R, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. We had previously adopted the provisions of FIN 46R for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003.  However, the adoption of FIN 46R for variable interest entities created on or before January 31, 2003 is required for periods ended after March 15, 2004. We have adopted the final provisions of FIN 46R as of March 31, 2004.

 

As a result we have consolidated Waterfront Associates LLC (“WALLC) in which a 54% owned subsidiary of the Company currently owns a 90% interest. We previously classified WALLC in investments in and advances to joint ventures. The consolidation of WALLC resulted, as of the consolidation date, in an increase in total assets of $10,600,000 (including an increase in property and land development of $28,757,000 and a decrease in investments in and advances to joint ventures of $18,359,000) an increase in accrued expenses and accounts payable of $1,700,000 and an increase in minority interest liability of $8,900,000.  At September 30, 2004 total assets of this entity were $29,665,000 and total liabilities were $515,000.  At September 30, 2004, the Company has $9,914,000 of equity at risk relating to its investment in WALLC, which represents our maximum exposure to losses from this entity.

We have also identified Golfview, Laguna Vista, 146 Street, and 400 S. Philadelphia as additional VIEs which we have consolidated into our September 30, 2004 financial statements (see “Significant Transactions, Acquisitions and Investments”).  Our total investment in these entities was $ 11,541,000 at September 30, 2004, which together with our guaranty as described in Footnote 6, represents our maximum exposure to losses from these entities.

 

3.             SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS, ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS

 

During the first nine months of 2004, we entered into several material transactions as described below. All acquisitions of real estate and investments in joint ventures have been included in our accompanying statements of operations from the date of the transaction forward.

 

400 S. Philadelphia On September 30, 2004, a joint venture in which we own a 51% interest and an unaffiliated third party owns the balance, acquired for $2,000,000 a parcel of land in Ocean City, Maryland for the purpose of developing 20 for-sale residential condominium units.  We invested 100% of the required equity for the acquisition.  Through September 30, 2004 we have invested $1,998,000 in the joint venture.  We have consolidated the entity’s assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.

 

146 Street On August 5, 2004, a joint venture in which we own a 51% interest and an unaffiliated third party owns the balance, acquired for $1,726,000 a parcel of land in Ocean City, Maryland for the purpose of developing 18 for-sale residential condominium units.  We invested 100% of the required equity for the acquisition. We have invested a total of $1,870,000 in the joint venture through September 30, 2004.  We have consolidated the entity’s assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Golfview On April 7, 2004 a joint venture in which we own a 50% interest and an unaffiliated third party owns the balance, acquired a 144 unit mid-rise residential rental complex located in St. Petersburg, Florida, for a purchase price of $10,800,000. The joint venture plans to convert the complex into 140 for-sale residential condominium units. In connection with the purchase the joint venture obtained a $14,000,000 acquisition and construction loan, approximately $7,800,000 of which was drawn down for the funding of the acquisition. The loan, which bears a variable-interest rate of one month LIBOR plus 175 basis points, matures in one year. Currently we have invested $3,670,000 for our interest in the joint venture. We have consolidated the entity’s assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.

 

640 North Broad On January 14, 2004, a joint venture in which we own an 80% interest and two unaffiliated third parties own the balance, acquired a historic property in Philadelphia, PA, comprising two buildings, for a purchase price of $9,050,000.  The joint venture is redeveloping the buildings into an approximately 266 unit apartment property.  In August, 2004 the partnership obtained a $32,000,000 acquisition and construction loan.  The loan bears interest at one month LIBOR plus 155 basis points, has a term of three years and provides for two, one-year extension options.  Simultaneous with the loan closing, the partnership drew down $6,000,000, the proceeds of which were used to pay off a loan the partnership had obtained at the time the property was acquired. In September 2004, the partnership obtained an additional bridge construction loan totaling $6,900,000. The loan bears interest at one month LIBOR plus 175 basis points and has a term of three years.   Simultaneous with the closing of the construction bridge loan, the joint venture admitted another equity partner which is obligated to contribute approximately $7,300,000, when certain conditions are met.  A portion of these equity contributions will be used to repay the bridge loan.  Through September 30, 2004 we have contributed approximately $5,185,000 to the partnership.  We have consolidated the entity’s assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Waterfront In October 2002, following the expiration of a major tenant’s lease at the Waterfront Complex, which is located in the Southwest Washington, D.C Urban Renewal Area, BRW, a 54% owned subsidiary of ours, entered into a joint venture with K/FCE Investment LLC (“K/FCE”) (a joint venture between the Washington DC based developer, The Kaempfer Company, Inc., and the national developer, Forest City Enterprises, Inc.), to form WALLC for the purposes of redeveloping and repositioning the Waterfront Complex. BRW contributed the buildings and the leasehold improvements relating to the Waterfront Complex to WALLC. Affiliates of K/FCE are marketing, leasing, redeveloping, and managing the complex. K/FCE is the managing member of WALLC and has sole responsibility for the management, control, and operation of the WALLC, as well as for the formulation and execution of its business and investment policy.

 

On April 22, 2004, the Federal National Mortgage Association entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent with WALLC, for the lease of up to 1.5 million square feet of new office space for more than 20 years in the Waterfront Complex.

Laguna Vista On March 25, 2004 we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with two unaffiliated third parties for the purchase of 100% of the stock of Laguna Vista Company (“Laguna Vista”), which is developing 41 luxury condominium units in Ocean City, Maryland.  Laguna Vista has obtained a $15,100,000 construction loan, which bears interest at one month LIBOR plus 1.85% and matures September 30, 2005. Based on the terms of the agreement, we are required to purchase the stock for a total price of $8,000,000 by March 31, 2005, should the project attain certain sales targets. At the time we entered into the agreement, we advanced $3,000,000 as a deposit for the purchase of the stock. In addition to the stock purchase deposit we have provided a total of $3,000,000 in loans to Laguna Vista. The loans, which were advanced in September 2003, November 2003, and March 2004, each bear interest at 10% per annum and mature one year from the loan date. The borrower has an option to extend the maturity date on each of the loans for one year and exercised this option on the loan which matured in September 2004. Through September 30, 2004 we have invested $4,004,000 in this property.  We have consolidated the entity’s assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements due to the financing we have provided and our participation in the anticipated profits in the project.

 

Fort Washington Executive Center On February 26, 2004, a joint venture, in which we own a 96.5% interest and two unaffiliated third parties own the balance, acquired an executive center located in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, consisting of three commercial buildings containing a total of approximately 393,000 square feet of office space. The purchase price of the property was $52,664,000. At the time of the acquisition, the joint venture placed a $33,300,000 mortgage loan on two of the buildings and a $15,700,000 mortgage loan on the third building. Each of the loans bears a fixed-interest rate of 5.6% and matures in ten years. As a condition of financing, we executed conditional master lease agreements as tenant, on each of the loans for certain periods and space within the properties. We invested $8,414,000 for our 96.5% interest in the joint venture. We have consolidated the entity’s assets and liabilities and results of operations in our consolidated financial statements.

 

One Northbrook On February 18, 2004, we acquired approximately 95,000 square foot office building located in a commercial office park in Trevose, Pennsylvania, for a purchase price of $16,900,000. On February 19, 2004, we placed a ten-year, 5.75% fixed-rate mortgage of $15,300,000 on the property. As a condition of financing, we executed a master lease agreement as tenant for certain periods and space within the property. We invested a total of $3,465,000 in this property through September 30, 2004.  We have consolidated the entity’s assets and liabilities and results of operations in our consolidated financial statements.

 

220 West Germantown Pike On February 5, 2004, a joint venture, in which we own a 97.5% interest and two unaffiliated third parties own the balance, acquired an office complex containing two commercial office buildings, in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania comprising a total of approximately 115,000 square feet. The total purchase price of the office buildings was $20,500,000. In connection with the acquisition, the joint venture assumed a 5.9% fixed-rate mortgage loan on the buildings. The loan, which had an outstanding principal balance of $16,246,000 at the time of the assumption, matures in 2013. The loan was recorded at the assumed balance since it approximated market value at the time of the acquisition. We invested $4,875,000 for our 97.5% interest in the joint venture. We have consolidated the entity’s assets and liabilities and results of operations in our consolidated financial statements.

Waterfront Associates Upon the formation of WALLC in October 2002, since BRW did not have a controlling interest in the entity, it accounted for its investment under the equity method and did not consolidate the assets, liabilities and operations of WALLC from the period beginning the formation of the partnership and ended March 31, 2004. Upon the adoption of FIN 46R effective March 31, 2004, the assets and liabilities of WALLC and its results from operations from that date through September 30, 2004, are consolidated by BRW and included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, since WALLC is considered to be a variable interest entity as defined by FIN 46R and BRW is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity.

As of September 30, 2004, we are in compliance with all debt covenants.

 

On August 3, 2004 we obtained a $30,000,000 unsecured line of credit.  Draws under the line bear interest at a variable-interest rate of one month LIBOR plus 175 basis points.  Terms of the line require draws to be used for the acquisition of real estate, with a maximum of $15,000,000 to be used for the purchase of development real estate.  Covenants under the line include maintaining a minimum liquidity of $30,000,000 (consisting of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments) and a minimum shareholders’ equity of $100,000,000 and achieving annual net income of $4,000,000 and annual funds from operations, (defined as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses, net of taxes, from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures), of $9,500,000.   The line, which matures in August 2005, had $3,937,000 outstanding at September 30, 2004.

 

At September 30, 2004, we had unused capacity totaling $57,977,000 under various development loans.

GUARANTEES

 

We have provided an unconditional and irrevocable payment guaranty of $5,500,000 to Wachovia Bank, N.A in connection with a $20,000,000 loan made to 1925K Associates, LLC (“1925K”) in February 2004.  The loan matures in April 2007, but may be extended for up to an additional two years at the option of the borrower.

 

We have provided an unconditional and irrevocable payment guaranty to Riggs Bank for 33.3% of the loan balance outstanding under the $7,100,000 construction loan, made to Selborne House. The other members of Selborne House have guaranteed the remaining balance under the loan. The loan matures in January 2006 and has an extension option of 5 years. Our payment guarantee will be reduced to 16.7% of the outstanding loan balance, upon Selborne House maintaining a debt service ratio of 1.25 to 1.0 for a period of one year. Additionally, along with the other members of Selborne House, we have jointly and severally guaranteed the completion of the project prior to July 2005. At September 30, 2004, the outstanding loan balance totaled $ 6,288,000.

 

We have guaranteed repayment of 66.6% of the loan balance outstanding under the $6,300,000 acquisition and construction loan made by Citizen’s Bank of Pennsylvania to Cigar Factory Apartments, L.P. (“Cigar Factory”). The remainder of the outstanding balance under the loan has been guaranteed by the other members of Cigar Factory. The loan matures in July 2005, but may be extended for an additional year at the option of the borrower. Together with the other members of Cigar Factory, we have also guaranteed completion of construction of improvements to Cigar Factory on or before the maturity date of the loan, or if the loan is extended, the extended maturity date. At September 30, 2004, the outstanding loan balance totaled $3,383,000.

 

In connection with the $15,100,000 construction loan Laguna Vista has obtained, we have guaranteed the purchase of half of all unpurchased condominium units at Laguna Vista at September 30, 2005 at a total acquisition price that will equate to one half of the outstanding loan balance at that date.  At September 30, 2004, the outstanding loan balance totaled $8,070,000.

 

In connection with both the $32,000,000 acquisition and construction loan and the $6,900,000 bridge construction loan on 640 North Broad, we have guaranteed the full amount of the outstanding balance under the loans.  At September 30, 2004, the total amount outstanding under the loans totaled $6,000,000.

 

Paradise Developers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours has obtained a $7,044,000 development loan, the full amount of which has been guaranteed by us.  At September 30, 2004 the unused capacity under the loan totaled $7,044,000.

7.             DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

In December 2003, we sold 95% of our interest in Town Square Commons, LLC (“The Commons”), to an unaffiliated third party. The Commons owns a 116 unit apartment complex in Washington DC. The purchaser has a call option to purchase, and we have a corresponding put option to sell, the remaining 5% interest in The Commons, beginning in January 2005. We have recorded the results of operations of The Commons as part of discontinued operations, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2003, we sold to a third party our Maplewood Manor nursing home in Lakewood, New Jersey. We have recorded the operating results of the nursing home along with a $1,711,000 gain, net of taxes as part of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2003.

 

We are currently holding for sale the 7800 Building, a commercial office building containing approximately 15,000 square feet of space and five commercial properties currently leased to convenience store operators. The assets of these properties are classified as assets held for sale and the operating results are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

8.             INCOME TAXES

 

SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from our activities during the current and preceding years. It requires an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Balance sheet accruals for income taxes are adjusted to reflect changes in tax rates in the period such changes are enacted. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated income tax return.

 

Our provision for income taxes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, includes a provision for income taxes on the income from continuing operations as well as a provision for income taxes on the discontinued operations. The provision for income taxes is calculated by applying the estimated full year effective tax rate to our earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

9.             SEGMENT INFORMATION:

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” the Company reports segment information for the following four categories:

 

Commercial Rental Property

 

This segment includes the rental income derived by commercial properties from leases of office, industrial and retail space and other related revenue sources. Commercial leases generally provide for a fixed monthly rental over terms that range from three to 10 years.

 

Also included in this segment is income generated from management and leasing activities associated with our 50% ownership interest in Redwood Commercial Management, LLC (“Redwood”), a commercial management company.

 

Residential Rental Property

 

This segment includes the rental income derived from residential properties from leases of apartment units and other related revenue sources. Apartment leases generally provide for a fixed monthly rental over a one-year term.

 

Hospitality Properties

 

This segment includes revenue and income from two hospitality properties: The Inn at the Colonnade located in Baltimore, Maryland and the Holiday Inn Express located in Camp Springs, Maryland.

 

Commercial, Residential and Land Under Development

 

This segment primarily includes the development and sale of homes and residential condominium units, the development of commercial and residential buildings and the development and sale of lots as part of residential subdivisions. Also included are the revenues and costs associated with undeveloped commercial land sales, and other construction activity.

 

We are not involved in any operations in countries other than the United States.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. We evaluate performance based upon revenues less operating expenses of the combined properties in each segment.

 

Our reportable segments are a consolidation of related subsidiaries that are managed separately as each segment requires different operating, pricing, and leasing strategies.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On November 5, 2004, we invested $2,500,000 for a 51% interest in an entity that owns a parcel of undeveloped land which is subdivided into 138 residential lots along with 50 boat slips, in Worcester County, Maryland.  An unaffiliated third party owns the remaining membership interest in the entity.  The entity intends to develop the land as lots to be sold along with the boat slips to a homebuilder.  The entity purchased the parcel of land and boat slips for approximately $26,000,000 which was funded primarily by a $7,000,000 deposit from the homebuilder, a $16,000,000 acquisition loan and draws on a $5,500,000 development loan.  We will consolidate the entity’s assets and liabilities and results of operations in our consolidated financial statements.

 

On November 1, 2004, a joint venture in which we own 51% and an unaffiliated third party owns the balance, acquired a portfolio of eight historic commercial office buildings located in the central business district of Baltimore, Maryland containing a total of approximately 530,000 square feet of office space.  The purchase price for the eight buildings was $29,500,000 which was paid in part by the assumption of an $8,470,000 mortgage loan on one of the buildings and the placement of a $15,000,000 mortgage loan on the remaining seven buildings.  The remainder of the purchase price was paid out of capital of the joint venture.  The Company and an third party investor each contributed $3,500,000 of equity to the joint venture.  The Company also contributed an additional $1,500,000 to the venture, which funds are to be returned before any other distributions.  Management is currently analyzing whether the entity’s assets and liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated in our consolidated financial statements.

 

On October 29, 2004, Third Street, in which we own a 1% interest, sold its interests in two residential buildings located in Washington DC, to an unaffiliated third party for $10,600,000.  A total of $8,400,000 of the net proceeds received by Third Street, were used to pay in full notes and advances made by us to Third Street, together with accrued interest thereon.   We recognized approximately $2,400,000 of income before taxes related to the repayment due to previous write-downs of the advances as well as a deferred gain on sale.

 

On October 20, 2004, a joint venture in which we own a 95% interest, acquired 3.8 acres of land adjacent to Divine Lorraine, a historic property owned by the joint venture, from the School District of Philadelphia for $3,580,000.  The land parcel was acquired for the purpose of developing a parking lot for Divine Lorraine and for future development projects.

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

Overview

The four segments in which we operate: commercial rental property; residential rental property; hospitality; and commercial, residential and land development, provide us with a diversified portfolio of real estate investments. Our strategy revolves around using our strong liquidity position to invest in commercial and residential real estate through acquisitions of both operational and development properties. We also acquire other forms of real estate, such as undeveloped commercial and residential land, as such opportunities arise. We are an active owner of our real estate assets and are focused on maximizing profitability throughout our portfolio by working closely with the property managers to identify revenue generation and expense reduction opportunities.

In 2003 and the first three quarters of 2004 we took advantage of a low-interest rate environment to acquire, through both wholly owned subsidiaries and joint venture entities with unaffiliated third parties that we consolidate in our financial statements, real estate assets totaling approximately $223,000,000.

The discussion that follows is based primarily on our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and should be read along with our consolidated financial statements and related notes. The ability to compare one period to another may be significantly affected by acquisitions and dispositions of commercial and residential properties and the acquisition and subsequent partial development and sale of residential lots.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

We apply certain significant accounting policies when preparing our consolidated financial statements. A summary of these policies is included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2003.  These policies have not changed significantly in 2004.  The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expense, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe that estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K/A have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are based on current estimates, expectations, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, the industry in which we operate, our beliefs and management’s assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by or on behalf of us. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” or “would be,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include:

                                            our exposure to the credit risks of our tenants;

                                            our ability to recruit and retain key personnel;

                                            adverse changes in the local or general economy and market conditions;

                                            our ability to obtain necessary governmental permits and approvals;

                                            our ability to complete development projects in a timely manner and within budget;

                                            our ability to sustain occupancy levels at our properties through keeping existing tenants and securing new ones;

                                            our ability to secure tenants for the properties that we are developing;

                                            changes in the interest rate environment which will affect our ability to obtain mortgage financing on acceptable terms;

                                            future litigation; and

                                            changes in environmental health and safety laws.

                                            Minority interest increased primarily as a result of the consolidation of Waterfront Associates, LLC into our consolidated balance sheet effective March 31, 2004.

                                            Shareholders equity increased due to net income recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $1,909,000 which was partially offset by a $1,369,000 cash dividend declared in June 2004.

General Overview.

 

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $14,751,000 over total revenue for the comparable period in 2003.  The increase was primarily due to revenue generated from sales of developed land at Clarksburg Ridge along with revenue generated from the acquisition of The Fountains apartment complex and the 900 Northbrook commercial building in the second half of 2003 and the acquisition of the Fort Washington Executive Center, the West Germantown Pike commercial office buildings and the One Northbrook commercial office building in the first quarter of 2004.

 

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $768,000 compared to net income for the comparable period in 2003.  The increase was primarily due to sales of developed land at Clarksburg Ridge along with income generated from properties acquired in the first quarter of 2004.

 

 

Commercial Rental Property.

 

At September 30, 2004 we owned, or had an ownership interest in, 27 commercial property buildings containing approximately 2,035,000 square feet of space compared to 20 commercial property buildings containing approximately 1,366,000 square feet of commercial space at September 30, 2003, an increase of 669,000 square feet.  Included in our portfolio are commercial properties owned by entities that we consolidate containing approximately 1,723,000 square feet of commercial space, compared to approximately 1,054,000 square feet at September 30, 2003, an increase of approximately 669,000 square feet.  The increase is due to the November 2003 acquisition of the 900 Northbrook commercial building and the February 2004 acquisitions of the Fort Washington Executive Center, the West Germantown Pike commercial buildings and the One Northbrook commercial building.

The $3,673,000 revenue increase in 2004 relative to 2003 can be attributed to a $3,952,000 increase in revenue from the acquisitions of 900 Northbrook, Fort Washington Executive Center, West Germantown Pike and One Northbrook, partially offset by lower revenues across the portfolio of remaining properties.

 

Operating expenses consist of direct operating costs of the properties including property taxes and insurance and excluding interest expense and depreciation expense.  Operating expenses in 2004 increased relative to 2003 by $1,477,000 due to a $1,519,000 increase in operating expenses from the acquisitions of 900 Northbrook, Fort Washington Executive Center, West Germantown Pike and One Northbrook, partially offset by lower expenses across the portfolio of remaining properties.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense in 2004 increased by $942,000 over the prior year due to the acquisitions of 900 Northbrook, Fort Washington Executive Center, West Germantown Pike and One Northbrook.

 

Residential Rental Property.

 

At both September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, we owned, or had a material ownership interest in, three residential properties, containing a total of 942 apartment units. The table below sets forth these residential rental properties.

The $1,116,000 increase in residential rental revenue over the prior year can be primarily attributed to a $1,106,000 increase in revenue from the acquisitions of Victoria Place and The Fountains.

 

24



 

Operating expenses consist of direct operating costs of the properties including property taxes and insurance and excluding interest expense and depreciation expense. The increase in residential operating expenses of $733,000 over the prior year can be primarily attributed to a $711,000 increase in operating expenses from the acquisitions of Victoria Place and The Fountains.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense in 2004 increased by $182,000 over the prior year primarily due to the acquisitions of Victoria Place and The Fountains.

 

Hospitality Properties.

 

Revenue in 2004 was comparable to 2003. Operating expenses, which consist of direct operating costs of the properties including property taxes and insurance and excluding interest expense and depreciation expense, increased by $288,000 compared to 2003.  The increase can be primarily attributed to increased salary and benefits due to hiring additional staff at the Inn at the Colonnade.  In addition, the termination of the management agreement between the Holiday Inn and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours and the signing of a new management agreement with an unrelated third party management company, on July 1, 2004, resulted in severance payments to employees at the property and an increase in management fees in 2004.

 

Homebuilding and Residential Lots.

 

Homebuilding and residential lots revenue in 2004 increased by $9,251,000 compared to the prior year. The increase can be attributed to the sale of 78 developed lots in Clarksburg Ridge in the third quarter of 2004.

 

The cost of homebuilding, residential lots and other development in 2004 increased by $8,408,000 compared to the prior year. The increase can be attributed to the Clarksburg Ridge lot sales.

 

Income From Investments in Joint Ventures.

 

Income from investments in joint ventures, which consists of income earned from joint ventures that are not consolidated into our financial statements, increased by $398,000 in 2004.  The increase was primarily due to increased lease commissions at Redwood Commercial and operations at Congressional South, which generated income for us of approximately $150,000 and $136,000, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Expense.

 

General and administrative expense increased by $282,000 primarily due to higher salary and benefits expense due to the hiring of additional personnel as well as an increase in consulting expense in 2004.

 

Interest Expense.

 

The increase in interest expense of $1,373,000 over the prior year is primarily due to interest on debt obtained or assumed in 2004 and 2003 in connection with the acquisitions of The Fountains, 900 Northbrook, Fort Washington Executive Center, West Germantown Pike and One Northbrook. We capitalized $462,000 of interest related to our investment in development projects for the three months ended September 30, 2004.  No interest was capitalized during the comparable period in 2003.

 

Other Expenses.

 

Other expenses increased by $252,000 in 2004, primarily due to a loss from operations at the Waterfront property, which are incidental to the redevelopment of the property and a write-down of our investment in Builders Leasing.

 

Provision for Income Taxes.

 

The provision for income taxes, which includes a provision for both income from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations has been calculated by applying the estimated full year effective tax rate to our year-to-date earnings.  The effective tax rate used in 2004 was 27.0%, which reflects a reduction from the statutory rates primarily for tax-exempt interest earned on investments in municipal obligations.

General Overview.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $30,759,000 over total revenue for the comparable period in 2003.  The increase was primarily due to revenue generated from the acquisition of the Victoria Place apartment complex, The Fountains apartment complex, the 900 Northbrook commercial building, the Fort Washington Executive Center, the West Germantown Pike commercial office buildings and the One Northbrook commercial office building, along with sales of developed land at Clarksburg Ridge.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $1,082,000 compared to net income for the comparable period in 2003.  The decrease was primarily due to a $1,711,000 gain, net of taxes, recorded in 2003 relating to the sale of a nursing home, as well as $734,000 of income, net of taxes recorded in 2003 related to the sale of undeveloped land, partially offset by sales of developed land at Clarksburg Ridge and income generated from properties acquired in the first quarter of 2004.

 

Commercial Rental Property.

The $10,714,000 revenue increase in 2004 relative to 2003 can be primarily attributed to a $10,472,000 increase in revenue from the acquisitions of 900 Northbrook, Fort Washington Executive Center, West Germantown Pike and One Northbrook.  The remaining increase is primarily due to an increase in occupancy at Washington Business Park.

Operating expenses consist of direct operating costs of the properties including property taxes and insurance and excluding interest expense and depreciation expense. Operating expenses in 2004 increased relative to 2003 by $3,481,000 due to a $3,945,000 increase in operating expenses from the acquisitions of 900 Northbrook, Fort Washington Executive Center, West Germantown Pike and One Northbrook.  This increase was partially offset by lower snow removal and utility costs across the portfolio in 2004 compared to 2003, when severe weather conditions and record snowfalls were experienced in the Washington, DC region.

Depreciation and amortization expense in 2004 increased by $2,565,000 over the prior year primarily due to the acquisitions of 900 Northbrook, Fort Washington Executive Center, West Germantown Pike and One Northbrook.

 

26



 

 

Residential Rental Property.

The $5,301,000 increase in residential rental revenue over prior year can be attributed to the increase in revenue from the acquisitions of Victoria Place and The Fountains.

 

Operating expenses consist of direct operating costs of the properties including property taxes and insurance and excluding interest expense and depreciation expense. The increase in residential operating expenses of $2,494,000 over the prior year can be primarily attributed to a $2,410,000 increase in operating expenses from the acquisitions of Victoria Place and The Fountains.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense in 2004 increased by $1,427,000 over the prior year primarily due to the acquisitions of Victoria Place and The Fountains.

 

Hospitality Properties.

 

Revenue in 2004 was comparable to 2003.

 

Operating expenses, which consist of direct operating costs of the properties including property taxes and insurance and excluding interest expense and depreciation expense, increased $381,000 over the prior year.  The increase can be primarily attributed to the termination of the management agreement between the Holiday Inn and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours and the signing of a new management agreement with an unrelated third party management company, on July 1, 2004, which resulted in severance payments to employees at the property and an increase in management fees.

 

Homebuilding and Residential Lots.

 

Homebuilding, residential lots and other development revenue in 2004 increased by $15,106,000 compared to the prior year. The increase can be primarily attributed to the sale of 129 developed lots in Clarksburg Ridge in 2004.

 

The cost of homebuilding, residential lots and other development in 2004 increased by $13,901,000 compared to the prior year.  The increase can be primarily attributed to the cost of sales of the Clarksburg Ridge lots.

 

Income From Investments in Joint Ventures.

 

Income from investments in joint ventures, which consists of income earned from joint ventures that are not consolidated into our financial statements, decreased by $359,000 in 2004 primarily due to the sale in 2003 of five parcels consisting of approximately 15 acres of undeveloped land at Washington Business Park compared to no land sales in 2004, partially offset by increased income at 1925K Street and Redwood Commercial in 2004.

 

General and Administrative Expense.

 

General and administrative expense increased by $515,000 primarily due to higher salary and benefits expense due to the hiring of additional personnel as well as an increase in consulting expense in 2004, partially offset by a $274,000 pension liability accrual recorded in 2003.

 

Interest Expense.

 

The increase in interest expense of $4,341,000 over the prior year is primarily due to interest on debt obtained or assumed in 2004 and 2003 in connection with the acquisitions of Victoria Place, The Fountains, 900 Northbrook, Fort Washington Executive Center, West Germantown Pike and One Northbrook.  We capitalized $1,168,000 of interest related to our investment in development projects, in 2004.  No interest was capitalized in 2003.

 

Other Expenses.

 

Other expenses increased by $747,000 in 2004, primarily due to a loss from operations at the Waterfront property, which are incidental to the redevelopment of the property and a write-down of our investment in Builders Leasing.

 

Provision for Income Taxes.

 

The provision for income taxes, which includes a provision for both income from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations has been calculated by applying the estimated full year effective tax rate to our year-to-date earnings.  The effective tax rate used in 2004 was 27.0%, which reflects a reduction from the statutory rates primarily for tax-exempt interest earned on investments in municipal obligations.

 

27



 

 

Discontinued Operations, net of tax.

 

Discontinued operations, net of tax, decreased by $1,987,000 primarily due to the sale of a nursing home in May 2003, which generated a gain, net of tax, of $1,711,000.

 

Funds From Operations

 

We consider Funds From Operations (“FFO”) to be a meaningful measure of our performance and we evaluate management based on FFO. We provide FFO as a supplemental measure for reviewing our operating performance (although FFO should be reviewed in conjunction with net income which remains the primary measure of performance). FFO is a recognized metric used extensively by the real estate industry. Accounting for real estate assets using historical cost accounting under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results that exclude historical cost depreciation to be useful in evaluating the operating performance of real estate companies. As a result, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) created the concept of FFO as a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that adjusts GAAP net income to exclude historical cost depreciation.

 

While we are not a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), in light of the fact that we are a real estate company with large amounts of depreciable and amortizable real estate assets and we compete against REITS, we believe FFO to be a relevant measurement of our performance.

 

FFO as defined by the NAREIT is “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis”. Our FFO measure differs from NAREIT’S definition in that we exclude income tax expense related to property sales. The exclusion of income tax expense on property sales is consistent with the objective of presenting comparative period operating performance. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, the FFO measure presented by us is not calculated in the same manner as FFO measures of other real estate companies and therefore may not necessarily be comparable. We believe that FFO provides relevant information about our operations and is useful, along with net income, for an understanding of our operating activities.

 

Our funds from operations were $3,581,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $2,013,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $1,568,000 or 77.9%.

 

Our funds from operations were $10,510,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $6,219,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $4,291,000 or 69.0%.

 

The increase for both the three month and nine month period ended September 30, is primarily the result of the operations of commercial and residential properties acquired in 2004 and the second half of 2003 and sales of lots at Clarksburg Ridge in 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Our principal sources of cash are cash from our operations, our ability to obtain mortgage financing and additional financing through various financial markets and asset dispositions. Our principal uses of cash are real estate acquisitions, investments in real estate joint ventures, funding development projects and working capital requirements and payments of debt, capital expenditures, operating costs and corporate expenses.

Operating Activities:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2004 net cash used in operating activities was $1,057,000 primarily due to the acquisition of Clarksburg Ridge, Laguna Vista, Golfview, 146 Street and 400 S. Philadelphia, which as land development and condominium development properties are classified under operating activities in the cash flow statement.

Investing Activities:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash used in investing activities totaled $68,282,000.  Cash used for investments primarily resulted from cash outflows of $90,017,000 primarily for the acquisition of the Fort Washington Executive Center, the West Germantown Pike commercial office buildings, the One Northbrook commercial office building and the 640 North Broad Building.

These outflows were reduced by cash inflows totaling $21,735,000 primarily consisting of proceeds received from the liquidation of a portion of our investments in municipal obligations.

Financing Activities:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash generated by financing activities totaled $68,283,000. This primarily resulted from the placement of mortgage debt related to the acquisition of the Fort Washington Executive Center, the One Northbrook building and the 640 North Broad Building, partially offset by cash dividend distributions, loan principal payments and an increase in deposits held in escrow.

Excess cash flow generated from our properties, from distributions from joint ventures and from proceeds of new mortgage loans placed on unencumbered properties and refinancing of existing debt, is typically invested in municipal obligations that are short-term in nature. These investments are then liquidated as needed for our real estate acquisitions and investments in joint ventures. At September 30, 2004, we had $34,099,000 of such investments.

Future Capital Requirements

On May 17, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.50 per common share, of which $0.25 per share of which was paid on June 15, 2004 for total distributions of $684,000.  The remaining payment of $684,000, will be paid on December 15, 2004 at an adjusted per share amount of $0.125.  The per-share payment for December 15, 2004 has been adjusted to take into account the 2-for-1 stock split that became effective on September 1, 2004.

Pursuant to several of our loans, we are required to maintain a minimum liquidity of $30,000,000. At September 30, 2004 we had $46,604,000 of cash, cash equivalents and investments.  Together with a $30,000,000 unsecured line of credit which we obtained in August 2004, this liquidity will enable us to quickly respond to real estate acquisition opportunities.

Pursuant to our $30,000,000 line of credit we are required to achieve annual net income of $4,000,000 and annual funds from operations of $9,500,000.  We anticipate meeting both these requirements for the year ending December 31, 2004.

Projected cash flow from operations for the remainder of 2004 and 2005 indicates that current obligations and working capital needs can be met.  Unanticipated funding requirements that could surface include unexpected revenue losses caused by tenant defaults or bankruptcies that have a detrimental effect on the cash flow generated from operations.  In addition, we have an extensive development and construction pipeline.  These development projects may require additional equity contributions should we be unable to obtain the necessary financing or should the existing construction loans be insufficient to fund development cost overruns.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

As of September 30, 2004, our off-balance sheet commitments were as follows:

 

                                            We have provided an unconditional and irrevocable payment guaranty of $5,500,000 to Wachovia Bank, N.A in connection with a $20,000,000 loan made to 1925K Street in February 2004. The loan matures in 2007 and may be extended for up to an additional two years at the option of the borrower.

 

                                            We have provided an unconditional and irrevocable payment guaranty to Riggs Bank for 33.3% of the loan balance outstanding under the $7,100,000 construction loan, made to Selborne House. Additionally, along with the other members of Selborne House, we have jointly and severally guaranteed the completion of the project prior to July 2005. At September 30, 2004, the outstanding loan balance totaled $6,288,000 and unused capacity under the loan totaled $812,000.

 

                                            We have guaranteed repayment of 66.6% of the loan balance outstanding under the $6,300,000 acquisition and construction loan, made by Citizen’s Bank of Pennsylvania to Cigar Factory Apartments, L.P. (“Cigar Factory”). The loan matures July 2005, but may be extended for an additional year at the option of the borrower. Together with the other members of Cigar Factory, we have also guaranteed completion of construction of improvements to Cigar Factory on or before the maturity date of the loan, or if the loan is extended, the extended maturity date. At September 30, 2004, the outstanding loan balance totaled $3,383,000 and unused capacity under the loan totaled $2,917,000.

 

                                            Based on the operating agreement of WALLC, K/FCE, the managing member of WALLC, may elect to require that additional capital contributions be made to pay expenses incurred both during and subsequent to the development of the Waterfront Complex. The initial $25,000,000 of contributions is required to be made by K/FCE. Thereafter each member’s required contribution will be based on their respective ownership percentage in the joint venture at the time of the required contribution.

 

                                            In connection with the two mortgage loans obtained for the Fort Washington Executive Center, we have entered into two master lease agreements with the lender. The one requires us to lease 41,000 square feet of office space at an annual rent of $21.25 per square foot for a five year term, beginning February 2004, provided a lease for this space is not obtained. The other requires us to lease 110,000 square feet of office space at an annual rent of $21.00 per square foot for a five year term beginning January 2008, provided a major tenant fails to exercise a five year extension option on their lease at that time.

 

                                            Laguna Vista, has obtained a $15,100,000 construction loan.  In connection with the loan we have guaranteed the purchase of half of all unpurchased condominium units at September 30, 2005 at a total acquisition price that will equate to one half of the outstanding loan balance at that date.  The outstanding loan balance totaled $8,070,000 at September 30, 2004.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. Our market risk arises from interest rate risk inherent in our investment assets and our variable rate debt. Interest rate risk is the possibility that changes in interest rates will cause unfavorable changes in net income or in the value of interest rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments.

 

We do not believe that we have any material exposures to adverse changes in interest rates associated with our investment assets. We invest in investment grade state and local government issues with short-term maturities and fixed rates of return. The short-term nature of the investments provides opportunities for reinvestment at higher interest rates, as those rates increase.

 

At September 30, 2004 we had $26,366,000 of variable-rate development loans outstanding, that are subject to interest-rate sensitivity.  In addition, we had an unsecured $6,000,000 variable-rate loan outstanding that matures in 2005, and a joint venture, in which we have an 85% non-controlling interest, had a $20,000,000 variable-rate loan outstanding that matures in 2007.  An increase in interest expense on our variable rate debt caused by a rise in interest rates would be largely offset by an increase in interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment assets, which totaled $46,604,000 at September 30, 2004.

 

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective in informing them of material information relating to the Company that is required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
