NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2004

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Description of Business

 

Catellus Development Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Catellus” or the “Company”; all references to Catellus or the Company mean the current Catellus or its predecessor, as applicable) owns and develops primarily industrial properties located in major markets in California, Illinois, Texas and Colorado, with recent expansion into Georgia and New Jersey. The Company operated as a fully taxable C-Corporation through December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, the Company reorganized its operations in order to operate as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing January 1, 2004 (see Note 11).

 

Note 2. Interim Financial Data

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial information includes all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Certain prior period financial data have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

New accounting standards

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46-R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46-R”). FIN 46-R requires that any entity meeting certain rules relating to a company’s level of economic risks and rewards be consolidated as a variable interest entity. The statement is applicable to all variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003, and the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2003, for variable interest entities in which the Company holds a variable interest that was acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company has adopted FIN 46-R as required. There was no significant effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company as a result of the initial adoption of this standard with regard to existing variable interest entities; however, future newly formed entities could meet these requirements and will be recorded as appropriate.

 

At June 30, 2004, the Company holds significant variable interests in three variable interest entities that do not qualify for consolidation under the provisions of FIN 46-R. The Company’s significant variable interests are in the form of equity interests in three of its unconsolidated joint ventures:

 

Bayport Alameda Associates, LLC was formed in May 2003 to redevelop land in Alameda, California into 485 residential lots for sale. The Company’s exposure will increase to the extent additional costs are incurred by the Company to develop the site prior to its contribution of the land to the entity.

 

Bergstrom Partners, L.P. was formed in January 2003 to redevelop and market 624 acres of land at a former missile test site in Travis County, Texas. The Company is required to contribute up to $1.0 million in total contributions should there be insufficient funds to meet its current or projected financial requirements.

 

SAMS Venture, LLC was formed in January 2003 to initially develop a new 545,000 square foot office park for the Los Angeles Air Force Base, convey that property to the United States Air Force in exchange for three parcels of land totaling 56 acres and other consideration, and finally either sell or develop for sale the three parcels. The Company’s exposure will increase should this joint venture require additional contributions from its partners.

 

The Company’s maximum exposure in the current financial statements as a result of its involvement with these variable interest entities is $18.1 million as of June 30, 2004.

Accounting for stock-based compensation

 

At June 30, 2004, the Company has six stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related Interpretations. All options when granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Subsequent modifications relating to the REIT conversion resulted in compensation expense of $0.5 million and $1.7 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively (see Note 11). The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation.

During the first quarter of 2004, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors established two performance-based executive award plans under the Company’s 2003 Performance Award Plan: the 2004 Transition Incentive Plan (“TIP”) and the 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). The awards granted are non-voting units of measurement (“Performance Units”) that are deemed to represent one share of the Company’s common stock. The Performance Units are entitled to dividend equivalents representing dividends on an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial performance period under the LTIP and the performance period under the TIP are from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2006. TIP awards vest no sooner than December 31, 2004 if at least 50% of defined performance targets have been achieved and certain time vesting requirements are met and are payable in the Company’s common stock. LTIP awards vest at December 31, 2006 if the Company’s total stockholder return, relative to the total stockholder returns of a certain group of peer companies, meets certain performance targets. Awards under the LTIP are payable 50% in the Company’s common stock and 50% in cash.

 

At June 30, 2004, 355,874 performance units have been awarded under both plans and as required by APB 25 the Company has recognized $1.3 million and $2.6 million as compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, with the corresponding liability recorded in “Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. TIP performance is based on the Company’s current estimate of achievement dates. LTIP performance is measured on actual results as of June 30, 2004.

 

The Company expenses dividends paid on restricted stock and restricted stock units. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, dividends paid were $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has restructured to operate as a REIT effective January 1, 2004. In general, a corporation that elects REIT status and distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements (relating primarily to the nature of its assets and the sources of its revenues) is not subject to federal income taxation to the extent it distributes its taxable income. The Company is operating so as to qualify as a REIT beginning January 1, 2004, including paying at least 90% of REIT taxable income to shareholders in 2004 and subsequent years.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

As part of restructuring operations of the Company to qualify as a REIT, subsidiaries have been created (subject to certain size limitations) that qualify as Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRS”) and will be subject to federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, the Company will still be liable for federal and state taxes with respect to income earned in the TRS. As a result of this future tax liability, certain assets of the TRS carry temporary differences between book and tax amounts that are reflected as net deferred tax liabilities at the TRS and in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, our 1999 and later federal and state tax returns are still open with certain returns currently under audit, which may result in additional taxes with respect to these prior years. Also, a majority of the Company’s assets owned in the REIT as of December 31, 2003 had values in excess of tax basis (“built-in-gain”) of approximately $1.7 billion. Under the REIT rules, the Company is liable for the tax on this built-in-gain if it is realized in a taxable transaction (as for example by sale of the asset) before January 1, 2014. The Company believes that it will pay taxes on built-in-gains on certain of the Company’s assets in the event the Company cannot effectuate a tax-free exchange. Lastly, the Company expects that once certain tasks are completed, certain of the Company’s assets not currently in the TRS will later be contributed to the TRS and carry temporary differences between book and tax amounts.

 

In order to qualify as a REIT, among other things, the Company was required to distribute its accumulated earnings and profits (“E&P”) to the Company’s stockholders in one or more taxable dividends prior to the end of the first full taxable year for which the REIT election is effective. In order to meet the required distribution of accumulated E&P, the Company made distributions of $128 million in cash and 10.7 million shares of Catellus stock valued at $252 million in the fourth quarter of 2003. The amount of the distributions was based, in part, upon the estimated amount of accumulated E&P at year-end 2003. Although the Company believes that the distributions were sufficient to eliminate all of its accumulated E&P, to the extent that they were not, the Company will make an additional taxable distribution (in the form of cash and/or securities) prior to the end of 2004, its first taxable year as a REIT.

Note 3. Restricted Cash and Investments

 

Of the total restricted cash and investments of $3.5 million at June 30, 2004, and $64.6 million at December 31, 2003, $2.8 million and $38.1 million, respectively, represent proceeds from property sales held in separate cash accounts at trust companies in order to preserve the Company’s option to reinvest the proceeds on a tax-deferred basis. Approximately $0.7 million and $23.1 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, represent funds held in pledge accounts at a bank until certain loan collateral pool requirements are met. These requirements were met in 2004 and the restricted cash of $23.1 million was released accordingly and paid down debt. In addition, restricted investments of $3.4 million at December 31, 2003, represented certificates of deposits used to guarantee lease performance; this $3.4 million of restricted cash was released in April 2004.

Note 4. Income Per Share

 

Income from continuing and discontinued operations per share of common stock applicable to common stockholders is computed by dividing respective income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and equivalents outstanding during the period (see table below for effect of dilutive securities). Prior year’s shares have been increased as a result of a stock dividend in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Note 7. Segment Reporting

 

The Company’s reportable segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which disaggregates its business between long-term operations and those which the Company intends to transition out of over the next several years and before the adjustments for discontinued operations. The Company has two reportable segments: Core Segment, and Urban, Residential and Other Segment (“URO”). Core Segment includes (1) the management and leasing of the Company’s rental portfolio, (2) commercial development activities, which focuses primarily on acquiring and developing suburban commercial business parks for the Company’s own rental portfolio and selling land and/or buildings that the Company has developed to users and other parties; and (3) select land development opportunities where the Company can utilize its land development skills with minimal capital investment. URO includes the remaining residential projects, urban development activities and desert land sales, which the Company intends to transition out of over time, and REIT transition costs.

 

Inter-segment gains and losses are not recognized. Debt and interest-bearing assets are allocated to segments based upon the grouping of the underlying assets. All other assets and liabilities are specifically identified.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company has surety bonds and standby letters of credit related to various development projects, various debt and debt service guarantees, and capital contribution commitments related to certain unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. These surety bonds, standby letters of credit, guarantees and capital contribution commitments as of June 30, 2004, are summarized in the following categories (in thousands):

 

Off-balance sheet liabilities:

      

Surety bonds

   $ 216,847

Standby letters of credit

     49,871

Debt service guarantees

     74,780

Contribution commitments

     7,773
    

Sub-total

     349,271

Liabilities included in balance sheet:

      

Standby letters of credit

     10,836
    

Total

   $ 360,107
    

 

Surety bonds are used to guarantee the construction of infrastructure and public improvements as a requirement of entitlement. Surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies from real estate developers, are renewable, and expire upon completion of the required improvements. The typical development period of the Company’s development projects is approximately one to three years. An example of the type of event that would require the Company to perform under these surety bonds would be the failure of the Company to construct or complete the required improvements. At June 30, 2004, the Company has not been required to fund any of the surety bonds.

 

Standby letters of credit consist of two types: performance and financial. Performance standby letters of credit are similar in nature and term as the surety bonds described above. Financial standby letters of credit are a form of credit enhancement commonly required in real estate development when bonds are issued to finance public improvements; these financial standby letters of credit are scheduled to expire between December 2005 and June 2006. As of June 30, 2004, the Company has a total of $60.7 million in these standby letters of credit; $49.9 million of the total is off-balance sheet ($46.3 million in financial letters of credit and $3.6 million in performance letters of credit). The remaining $10.8 million are related to obligations that are reflected in “Mortgage and other debt” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet; these $10.8 million of letters of credit were issued as additional security for liabilities already recorded on the balance sheet for separate accounting reasons (primarily assessment bond obligations of assessment districts whose operating boards the Company controls). This is different from the $49.9 million in letters of credit that are related to non-balance sheet items. When the assessment districts are consolidated, the balance sheet is fully consolidated, so there are several corresponding debits, the most significant of which is the associated improvements. An example of the type of event that would require the Company to perform under the performance standby letters of credit would be the failure of the Company to construct or complete the required improvements. An example of the type of event that would require the Company to perform under the financial standby letters of credit would be a debt service shortfall in the municipal district that issued the municipal bonds. At June 30, 2004, the Company has not been required to satisfy any of these standby letters of credit.

 

The Company has made debt service guarantees for certain of its unconsolidated joint ventures. At June 30, 2004, based on the joint ventures’ outstanding balance, these debt guarantees totaled $74.8 million. These debt service guarantees are scheduled to expire between September 2004 and September 2005. These debt service guarantees are typical business arrangements commonly required of real estate developers. An example of the types of events that would require the Company to provide a cash payment pursuant to a guarantee include a loan default, which would result from failure of the primary borrower to service its debt when due, or non-compliance of the primary borrower with financial covenants or inadequacy of asset collateral. At June 30, 2004, the Company has not been required to satisfy any amounts under these debt service guarantees.

 

The Company is required to make additional capital contributions to six of its unconsolidated joint ventures should additional capital contributions be necessary to fund development costs or operating shortfalls. The Company agreed with two unconsolidated joint ventures, Serrano Associates, LLC and SAMS Venture, LLC, to make additional contributions should there be insufficient funds to meet its current or projected financial requirements. As of June 30, 2004, the Company cumulatively contributed $20.0 million to Serrano Associates, LLC, as additional contributions, and $0.2 million as additional contributions to the SAMS Venture, LLC. The Company is also required to make additional capital contributions to another four of its unconsolidated joint ventures should additional capital contributions be necessary (see chart below).

As of June 30, 2004, the Company does not expect to fund any significant capital contributions beyond the maximum capital requirements.

 

Generally, any funding of off-balance sheet guarantees would result in the increase of Catellus’ ownership interest in a project or entity similar to the treatment of a unilateral additional capital contribution to an investee.

 

In addition to the contingent liabilities summarized in the tables above, the Company also has the following contingencies:

 

As of June 30, 2004, $163.3 million of Community Facility District bonds were sold to finance public infrastructure improvements at several Company projects. The Company provided letters of credit totaling $40.5 million in support of some of these bonds. The $40.5 million is included in the standby letters of credit and surety bonds amounts disclosed above. The Company is required to satisfy any shortfall in annual debt service obligation for these bonds if tax revenues generated by the projects are insufficient. As of June 30, 2004, the Company does not expect to be required to satisfy any shortfall in annual debt service obligation for these bonds other than through its payment of normal property and special district taxes.

 

The Company is a party to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot predict with certainty the final outcome of these proceedings. Considering current insurance coverages and the substantial legal defenses available, however, management believes that none of these actions, when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Where appropriate, the Company has established reserves for potential liabilities related to legal actions or threatened legal actions. These reserves are necessarily based on estimates and probabilities of the occurrence of events and therefore are subject to revision from time to time.

 

Inherent in the operations of the real estate business is the possibility that environmental liability may arise from the current or past ownership, or current or past operation, of real properties. The Company may be required in the future to take action to correct or reduce the environmental effects of prior disposal or release of hazardous substances by third parties, the Company, or its corporate predecessors. Future environmental costs are difficult to estimate because of such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required, the determination of the Company’s potential liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from insurance. Also, the Company does not generally have access to properties sold by it in the past.

 

At June 30, 2004, management estimates that future costs for remediation of environmental contamination on operating properties and properties previously sold approximate $2.8 million, and has provided a reserve for that amount. It is anticipated that such costs will be incurred over the next several years. Management also estimates approximately $8.8 million of similar costs relating to the Company’s properties to be developed or sold. The Company may incur additional costs related to management of excess contaminated soil from our projects; however, the necessity of this activity depends on the type of future development activities, and, therefore, the related costs are not currently determinable. These costs will be capitalized as components of development costs when incurred, which is anticipated to be over a period of approximately twenty years, or will be deferred and charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold. Environmental costs capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2004, totaled $1.9 million. The Company’s estimates were developed based on reviews that took place over several years based upon then-prevailing law and identified site conditions. Because of the breadth of its portfolio, and past sales, the Company is unable to review each property extensively on a regular basis. Such estimates are not precise and are always subject to the availability of further information about the prevailing conditions at the site, the future requirements of regulatory agencies, and the availability and ability of other parties to pay some or all of such costs.

Note 9. Related Party Transactions

 

The entities below are considered related parties because the listed transactions are with entities in which the Company has an ownership interest. There are no affiliated persons involved with these entities.

 

The Company provides development and management services and loan guarantees to various unconsolidated joint venture investments. Fees recognized were $0.3 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, primarily from Third and King Investors, LLC and SAMS Venture, LLC. Fees recognized were $1.9 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, of which $1.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, were from Third and King Investors, LLC, with the remainder primarily from Traer Creek LLC, Serrano Associates, LLC, and Talega Village, LLC. Deferred fees of $1.0 million primarily from Serrano Associates, LLC, Third and King Investors, LLC, and Bergstrom Partners, L.P. at June 30, 2004, will be recognized as completed projects are sold or the venture is sold or liquidated. In September 2003, the Company sold its investment interest in Traer Creek LLC. A provision in the sales agreement allowed for a discount on the purchase price of $1 million depending on the buyer’s timing of payment of the note. Thus the Company deferred a gain of $5.4 million at December 31, 2003, which was subsequently fully recognized in January 2004 upon the buyer’s full payment of the note.

 

In 2001, the Company entered into a 99-year ground lease with one of its unconsolidated joint venture investments, Third and King Investors, LLC. Rent and reimbursable payments of $1.3 million and $0.9 million were received and recognized as rental income during each of the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $2.5 million and $1.8 million in each of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Rent payments of $1.3 million of previously received rent were deferred at June 30, 2004, and will be recognized, together with annual rents, over the life of the lease.

 

The Company has a $4.4 million collateralized 9.0% note receivable from an unconsolidated joint venture, East Baybridge Partners, LP, for project costs plus accrued interest. The note is collateralized by property owned by the joint venture and matures in October 2028. The Company has entered into various lease agreements with this unconsolidated joint venture. As lessee, rent expense was $34,000 for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and $68,000 for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003; this lease will expire in November 2011. As lessor, the Company entered into a ground lease with this joint venture, which will expire in August 2054. The Company earned rental income of $0.1 million for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and $0.2 million for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and has recorded a $2.4 million receivable and a $0.9 million reserve associated with this lease.

 

In January 2004, the Company sold its 45% investment interest in Colorado International Center, an unconsolidated joint venture, for its capital investment balance of $0.3 million to an entity whose principal was a former Company employee.

 

In June 2004, the Company sold a small parcel of land to SAMS Venture, LLC for $0.7 million for a $0.1 million gain, of which 50% was deferred.

 

Note 10. Discontinued Operations

 

In general, sales of rental property are classified as discontinued operations. Therefore, income or loss attributed to the operations and sale of rental property sold or held for sale is presented in the statement of operations as discontinued operations, net of applicable income tax. Prior period statements of operations have been reclassified to reflect as discontinued operations the income or loss related to rental properties that were sold or held for sale and presented as discontinued operations during the period up to June 30, 2004. Additionally, all periods presented will likely require further reclassification in future periods as additional sales of rental properties occur.

Note 11. REIT Conversion

 

On January 5, 2004, the Company announced that it had completed the restructuring of its operations to qualify as a REIT and began operating as a REIT as of January 1, 2004. The REIT conversion had the following effects on the financial statements as of or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

 

  a cash dividend of $0.27 per common share for the fourth quarter 2003 was paid on January 15, 2004, a first quarter 2004 cash dividend of $0.27 per common share was paid on April 15, 2004, and a second quarter 2004 cash dividend of $0.27 per common share was declared on May 5, 2004 and paid on July 15, 2004 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 28, 2004. The actual amount of the dividends for subsequent quarters will be as determined and declared by the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s financial condition, earnings, and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control,

 

  conversion and related restructuring costs of $0.2 million and $1.8 million were paid to third parties during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $0.4 million and $3.4 million during the six months ended June, 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively,

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

 

The Company

 

Catellus Development Corporation is a publicly traded real estate development company that began operating as a REIT effective January 1, 2004. We operated as a C-corporation through December 31, 2003. We focus on managing, acquiring, and developing predominantly industrial rental property in many of the country’s major distribution centers and transportation corridors. Catellus’ principal objective is sustainable, long-term growth in earnings, which we seek to achieve by applying our strategic resources: a lower-risk/higher-return rental portfolio, a focus on expanding that portfolio through development, and the deployment of our proven land development skills to select opportunities where we can generate profits to recycle back into our core industrial business.

 

Catellus was originally formed in 1984 to conduct the non-railroad real estate activities of the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation and was spun off to stockholders effective in 1990. Our railroad heritage gave us a diverse base of developable properties located near transportation corridors in major western United States markets. This land has proven suitable for the development of a variety of product types, including industrial, retail, office, and residential. Over time, we have expanded our business by acquiring land suitable for primarily industrial development in many of the same suburban locations where we have an established presence.

 

Our rental portfolio provides a relatively consistent source of earnings and our development activities provide cash flow through sales of land or the conversion of our developable land to property that is either added to our portfolio or sold to tenants, developers, investors, or other interested parties. We invest in new land to ensure our potential for growth. As of June 30, 2004, we owned 41.4 million square feet of commercial rental properties, of which approximately 90.3% is industrial space. Our industrial rental portfolio is geographically diverse, located in major transportation corridors and distribution centers such as Southern California, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, and planned expansion into New Jersey. The majority of our rental portfolio is of newer construction and leased to diverse, high quality tenants through long-term leases with staggered lease expirations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of real estate assets, capitalization of costs, including job costing, allowances for doubtful accounts, environmental and legal reserves, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue and profit recognition

 

Our revenue is primarily derived from two sources: rental revenue from our rental portfolio and property sales.

 

Rental revenue is recognized when due from tenants. Revenue from leases with rent concessions or fixed escalations is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the related lease. The financial terms of leases are contractually defined. Rental revenue is not accrued when a tenant vacates the premises and ceases to make rent payments or files for bankruptcy.

 

Revenue from sales of properties is recognized using the accrual method. If a sale does not qualify for the accrual method of recognition, other deferral methods are used as appropriate including the percentage-of-completion method. In certain instances, when we receive an inadequate cash down payment and take a promissory note for the balance of the sale price, the sale is deferred until such time as sufficient cash is received to meet minimum down payment requirements. Also, in general, specific identification and relative sales value methods are used to determine the cost of sales. A change in circumstances that causes the estimate of future costs, such as carrying costs, and construction costs, to increase or decrease significantly would affect the gain or loss recognized on future sales.

Table of Contents

Impairment of real estate assets

 

We assess the impairment of a real estate asset when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value may not be recoverable. Indicators we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

  significant negative industry or economic trend;

 

  a significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results;

 

  a significant change in the manner in which an asset is used; and

 

  an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to construct an asset.

 

Real estate is stated at cost and impairments are evaluated using the methodology described as follows: (a) for operating properties and properties held for development a write-down to estimated fair value is recognized when a property’s estimated undiscounted future cash flow is less than its net book value; and (b) for properties held for sale, a write-down to estimated fair value is recorded when we determine that the net book value exceeds the estimated selling price, less cost to sell. These evaluations are made on a property-by-property basis. When we determine that the net book value of an asset may not be recoverable based upon the estimated undiscounted cash flow, we measure any impairment write-down based on projected discounted cash flows, using an estimated market discount rate; these discounted cash flows are also probability weighted. When performing the impairment review, we consider capitalized interest and other expenses as costs of development in costs projections; value from comparable property sales will also be considered. The evaluation of future cash flows, discount rates, and fair value of individual properties requires significant judgment and assumptions, including estimates of market value, lease terms, development absorption, development costs, lease up costs, and financings. Significant adverse changes in circumstances affecting these judgments and assumptions in future periods could cause a significant impairment adjustment to be recorded.

 

Capitalization of costs

 

We capitalize direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, property taxes, insurance, and certain indirect project costs, including a portion of our general and administrative costs that are associated with the acquisition, development, or construction of a project. Interest is capitalized in accordance with FAS 34 (i.e. interest costs incurred during construction/development periods to get the assets ready for their intended use.) Costs previously capitalized related to any abandoned sales or acquisitions opportunities are written off. Should development activity decrease, a portion of interest, property taxes, insurance, and certain general and administrative costs would no longer be eligible for capitalization and would be expensed as incurred.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

We make estimates with respect to the collectability of our receivables and provide for doubtful accounts based on several factors, including our estimate of collectability and the age of the outstanding balances. Our estimate of collectability is based on our contacts with the debtors, collection agencies, our knowledge of the debtors’ credit and financial condition, debtors’ payment terms, and current economic trends. If a debtor becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, we provide an allowance for the entire outstanding amount of the debtors’ receivable. Significant judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing allowances in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our allowances for any period if adverse general economic conditions cause widespread financial difficulties among our tenants.

 

Environmental and legal reserves

 

We incur ongoing environmental remediation costs, including cleanup costs, consulting fees for environmental studies and investigations, monitoring costs, and legal costs relating to cleanup, litigation defense, and the pursuit of responsible third parties. We maintain a reserve for estimated costs of environmental remediation to be incurred in connection with operating properties and properties previously sold; these reserves, when established, are expensed. Costs relating to undeveloped land are capitalized as part of development costs, and costs incurred for properties to be sold are deferred and charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold; these costs are anticipated to be incurred over a period of twenty years. Our estimates are developed based on reviews that took place over many years based upon then-prevailing law and identified site conditions. Because of the breadth of our portfolio, and past sales, we are unable to review each property extensively on a regular basis. Such estimates are not precise and are always subject to the availability of further information about the prevailing conditions at the site, the future requirements of regulatory agencies, and the availability and ability of other parties to pay some or all of such costs. Should a previously undetected, substantial environmental hazard be found on our properties, significant liquidity could be consumed by the resulting cleanup requirements, and a material expense may be recorded.

 

22


Table of Contents

We are a party to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We cannot predict with certainty the final outcome of the proceedings. Where appropriate, we have established reserves for potential liabilities related to legal actions or threatened legal actions. Environmental and legal reserves are established based on estimates and probabilities of the occurrence of events and therefore are subject to revision from time to time. Should the circumstances affecting these estimates change significantly, a material expense may be recognized.

 

Income taxes

 

We began operating as a REIT effective January 1, 2004 under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must derive at least 95% of our gross income in any year from qualifying sources. In addition, we must pay dividends to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding capital gains) and must satisfy specified asset tests on a quarterly basis. It is our current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on net income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. As a REIT, we still may be subject to certain state, local and foreign taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be required to pay federal and state income tax on the net taxable income, if any, from the activities conducted through our TRS.

 

As part of the process of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate our income taxes. Our estimates are based on interpretation of tax laws. We estimate our actual current tax due and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for book and tax purposes. Temporary differences that originate in our TRS result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Where we have taken a deduction for a non-routine transaction in which the tax impact is uncertain, no financial statement benefit is taken until the impact is certain. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by federal and state tax authorities, our inability to qualify as a REIT, the potential for built-in-gain recognition, changes in the assessment of properties to be contributed to TRS, and changes in tax laws. Adjustments required in any given period are included within the tax provision in the statement of operations and/or balance sheet. Any applicable interest charges associated with an audit settlement would be recorded as interest expense. These adjustments could materially impact our statement of operations and liquidity.

 

General

 

Business Segment Descriptions:

 

Our reportable segments are based on our method of internal reporting, which disaggregates our business between long-term operations and those which we intend to transition out of over the next several years and before the adjustments for discontinued operations. We have two reportable segments: Core Segment, and Urban, Residential and Other Segment (“URO”). Core Segment includes (1) the management and leasing of our rental portfolio, (2) commercial development activities, which focuses on acquiring and developing suburban commercial business parks for our own rental portfolio and selling land and/or buildings that we have developed to users and other parties; and (3) select land development opportunities where we can utilize our land development skills with minimal capital investment. URO includes the remaining residential projects, urban development activities and desert land sales, which we intend to transition out of over time, and REIT transition costs.

Funds From Operations

 

As a REIT, we provide Funds From Operations (“FFO”) as a supplemental measure of performance calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring, sales or write-down of certain assets, cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding depreciation on personal property) and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities. Adjustments for unconsolidated entities are calculated on the same basis. Our management generally believes that FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a meaningful supplemental measure of operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly 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 presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income. The use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. We generally consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance (although FFO should be reviewed in conjunction with net income which remains the primary measure of performance) because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. FFO does include gains on sales of land and build-to-suit development projects. In presenting our FFO for periods prior to operating as a REIT (which was effective January 1, 2004), we include a “hypothetical tax savings” that would have occurred had we been a REIT during those periods. We believe that presenting FFO as adjusted for hypothetical tax savings provides investors and analysts with a useful comparison of the hypothetical tax impacts of a REIT structure.

Core Segment Developable Land Inventory

 

Our existing Core Segment developable land can support an estimated 30.1 million square feet of new commercial development based upon current entitlements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we invested approximately $3.4 million and $13.9 million, respectively, in the acquisition of land capable of supporting approximately 2.0 million square feet of commercial development in Austin, TX. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the acquisition included 649,000 square feet that were immediately sold to final users.

Other Land Holdings

 

As of June 30, 2004, we own approximately 7,100 acres of land in the Southern California desert after the land sale during the current quarter. The ownership of these desert properties is the result of historical land grants to our railroad predecessors. Because of its location, lack of contiguity among parcels, and other factors, much of this land currently is not suitable for traditional development activities. Substantially, all of the 7,100 acres of remaining desert properties are projected to be sold by the end of third quarter of 2004.

Rental Revenue less Property Operating Costs

 

Rental revenue less property operating costs has increased primarily because of building additions, partially offset by properties sold. From July 2003 to June 2004, we added a net 4.0 million square feet to our rental portfolio. Rental revenue less property operating costs for three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, are summarized as follows:

(1) Same space properties were owned and operated for the entire current year and the entire immediately preceding year.
(2) These amounts do not consider the effect of discontinued operations. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for reconciliation to Statement of Operations.

 

We do not expect substantial changes in rental income from our same space rental portfolio; rather, we expect that growth in overall portfolio rental income will result primarily from new properties we will add to our rental portfolio over time.

Table of Contents

Core Segment property sales are generated from the following sources: 1) purchase options exercised by existing tenants for rental properties, 2) sale of older rental properties to improve the overall quality of our rental portfolio, 3) select land parcels within our development projects, and 4) build-to-suit building sales.

 

URO Segment sales include all remaining residential and urban projects, and desert land sales. (See Gain on Non-strategic Asset Sales below).

 

Sales revenue less cost of sales decreased $4.7 million in our Core Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2004 because of lower buildings and build-to-suit buildings gains. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, we sold an 84,000 square foot building, closed on the sale of improved land capable of supporting 0.3 million square feet of commercial development, and closed 6.5 acres of ground leases. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, we sold a 50,000 square foot building, a 600,000 square foot build-to-suit building and closed on the sale of improved land capable of supporting 0.1 million square feet of commercial development.

 

Sales revenue less cost of sales increased $5.0 million in our Core Segment for the six months ended June 30, 2004 because of higher ground lease and other sales due to the recognition of $5.3 million of deferred gains from selling our interest in one of our joint ventures in September 2003 and higher land sale gains of $4.8 million, partially offset by lower build-to-suit buildings gain of $5.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we sold two buildings totaling 136,000 square feet, two build-to-suit buildings totaling 58,000 square feet, closed on the sale of improved land capable of supporting 3.2 million square feet of commercial development, and closed 6.5 acres of ground leases. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we sold four operating properties totaling 797,000 square feet of building space, a 600,000 square foot build-to-suit building, and closed on the sale of improved land capable of supporting 0.5 million square feet of commercial development.

 

Sales revenue less cost of sales decreased $3.0 million in our URO Segment for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to lower land and lot gains and ground lease sales. We sold 8 condominiums at our Mission Bay project, 2.8 acres of land from the LA Union Station project, and certain ground leases. In addition, we recognized deferred gain of $0.7 million from the 2003 sale of 1.0 acre of land capable of supporting development of 105 condominium units from the Mission Bay project. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we closed on the sales of 21 residential lots and sold 184.3 acres of ground leases (see Variability in Results section). We plan to transition out of the residential and historic urban development activities, and desert land over time. As of June 30, 2004, 60 residential lots and 4.86 acres of urban land are currently under contract to be sold during 2004 and 2005.

 

Management, Development and Other Fees

 

Management, development and other fees primarily consist of fees earned related to development and construction management services provided to third parties as well as our joint venture projects and loan guarantee fee. Management, development and other fees in our Core segment decreased $2.5 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, primarily because of the recognition of certain deferred construction management fees related to a construction management contract with a ground lease lessee in 2003. Management, development and other fees in our URO Segment decreased $1.6 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, primarily because of lower development management activities related to a joint venture development at the Mission Bay project.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million and $5.4 million in our URO Segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, primarily because of charges related to the exchange of options into restricted stock and restricted stock units in conjunction with the REIT conversion.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

The increases in depreciation and amortization expense of $1.5 million and $2.8 million in our Core Segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, were primarily attributable to the addition of 4.0 million net square feet of building space to our portfolio between July 2003 and June 2004.

Equity in Earnings of Development Joint Ventures, Net

 

Our equity in earnings of development joint ventures, net, is generated in our URO Segment relating to residential activities. The tables below summarize our share of the activities of joint ventures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The decrease in our gain from sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily because of deferred gains recognized from Talega in 2003 and lower sales volume from Talega Village, partially offset by higher sales volume from Serrano. The decrease in our gain from sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily because of lower sales volume from Talega and Talega Village, partially offset by higher sales volume from Serrano (see Variability in Results section). Although our preference is generally to own property directly, we may participate with other entities in property ownership through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership.

In 2003, we sold our interest in Talega and substantially wound up operations in Talega Village. We expect to continue to reduce our involvement in and earnings from development joint ventures over time.

 

Gain on Non-Strategic Asset Sales

 

Gain on sales of non-strategic assets increased $14.9 million and $9.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The increases were primarily because of higher sales of remaining desert property; we expect the remaining non-strategic assets will be essentially sold by the end of 2004 (see Variability in Results section).

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income increased $1.1 million and $2.7 million in our Core Segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 respectively, because of higher interest income from notes receivable due to higher average note balances. Interest income decreased $0.4 million and $1.2 million in our URO Segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, because certain seller notes were paid off in 2003.

 

Other

 

Other income consists primarily of lease termination fees and other miscellaneous income. Other income decreased $0.9 million in our Core Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2004 primarily because of reduction of legal reserves in 2003. Other income in our Core Segment decreased $1.7 million primarily due to non-recurring lease termination fees of $1.2 million recognized and reduction of legal reserves of $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003.

 

Other income in our URO Segment increased $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, primarily because of write-off of certain previously accrued liabilities.

Interest expense decreased $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, primarily because of lower average debt balances and higher capitalized interest as a result of increased development activities.

 

REIT transition costs

 

In 2003, we restructured our business operations in order to qualify as a REIT, effective January 1, 2004. We have incurred conversion and related restructuring costs payable to third parties. REIT transition costs are in our URO Segment because of its non-recurring nature. We incurred REIT transition costs of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. We do not expect to incur any additional costs during 2004. From 2003 through June 30, 2004, we have incurred approximately $7.7 million of REIT transition costs primarily for consulting, legal, and tax services.

 

Other

 

Other expenses increased $1.2 million and $1.6 million in our URO segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, primarily because of higher community facility district taxes and net real estate property taxes.

 

Income Taxes

 

Currently, our projected annual current tax rate is 25.30% and deferred tax rate is (18.53)% as compared to the actual tax rates of 34.44% and 3.09%, respectively, in 2003. Both our current and overall tax rates decreased in the second quarter of 2004, compared to the second quarter of 2003 primarily due to our REIT conversion. As a REIT, only certain activities are subject to tax. Income tax (expense) benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was generated only by our TRS. Our TRS income before income taxes was $4.8 million with an effective overall rate of 40.08%. The effective overall rate is calculated using the federal statutory rate of 35% and a blended state tax rate of 7.8%. The effective overall rate is reduced by the net federal tax benefit of the state tax deduction to arrive at an effective overall rate of 40.08%. For purposes of segment reporting, we apply the effective overall rate to the Core segment taxable income with the remainder of tax calculated applied to Non-Core activities.

 

The calculation of current taxes due involves the use of many estimates that are not finalized and adjusted until our final tax returns are filed, usually in September of the following year. Consequently, actual taxes paid in regard to any given year will differ from the amounts shown above; however, the differences have historically not been material, and are not expected to be material in the future.

Variability in Results

 

Although our rental properties provide relatively stable operating results, our earnings from period to period will be affected by the nature and timing of acquisitions and sales of property. Also, sales of assets are difficult to predict given fluctuating economic conditions and are generally subject to lengthy negotiations and contingencies that need to be resolved before closing. These factors may tend to “bunch” income in particular periods rather than producing a more even pattern throughout the year or from year to year. In addition, gross margins may vary significantly as the mix of property varies. The cost basis of the properties sold varies because (i) properties have been owned for varying periods of time; (ii) properties are owned in various geographical locations; and (iii) development projects have varying infrastructure costs and build-out periods.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations, and commitments

 

We have the following off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations, and commitments, which are discussed in various sections of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and elsewhere in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These arrangements exist in the following areas:

 

  Unconsolidated real estate joint ventures:

 

  Capital contribution requirements

 

  Debt and debt service guarantees

 

  Surety bonds, standby letters of credit and commitments

 

  Executed contracts for construction and development activity

 

Generally any funding of off-balance sheet guarantees would result in the increase of our ownership interest in a project or entity, similar to the treatment of an unilateral additional capital contribution to an investee.

 

Unconsolidated real estate joint ventures- capital contribution requirements

 

We have investments in twelve unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, of which, six joint ventures are in our Core Segment and the other six joint ventures are in our URO Segment. Four of the joint ventures are involved in the operation of rental real estate properties and the remaining eight are involved in real estate development for investment or sale. We use the equity method of accounting for eleven of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and the cost method of accounting for one unconsolidated joint venture.

 

We are required to make additional capital contributions to six of our unconsolidated joint ventures should additional contributions be necessary to fund development costs or operating shortfalls.

 

  We are required to make additional capital contributions beyond an initial commitment of $25 million to one of our unconsolidated joint ventures should additional capital contributions be necessary to fund excess costs. The joint venture requires capital contributions if actual development costs exceed the approved project development budget. The development budget is approximately $252.5 million and will be funded as follows: $165 million from a construction loan, which closed in September 2002, $62.5 million from our partners, and the remaining $25 million from us. As of June 30, 2004, we had contributed $24.9 million of our $25 million commitment, and we do not expect to fund any significant amounts in excess of the $25 million.

 

  We are also required to make additional capital contributions to three other unconsolidated joint ventures should additional capital contributions be necessary to fund excess costs. Based upon the joint venture agreements, we are required to fund up to a maximum contribution of $53 million, of which we have cumulatively contributed $45.3 million. As of June 30, 2004, we do not expect to fund any additional capital contributions beyond our maximum capital requirements.

 

  We agreed with two other unconsolidated joint ventures to make additional contributions should there be insufficient funds to meet their current or projected financial requirements. As of June 30, 2004, we have cumulatively contributed $51.5 million to these unconsolidated joint ventures, including $20.2 million as additional contributions. As of June 30, 2004, we are expecting to make additional contributions to one of the joint ventures.

 

Additional contributions made to our development joint ventures would be reflected as investment in development joint ventures. (see Note 6 of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Table of Contents

Unconsolidated real estate joint ventures- debt and debt service guarantees

 

We have made certain debt service guarantees for two of our unconsolidated URO Segment development joint ventures. At June 30, 2004, based on the joint ventures’ outstanding debt balance, these debt service guarantees totaled $74.8 million. These debt service guarantees are typical business arrangements commonly required in real estate development. Examples of events that would require us to provide a cash payment pursuant to a guarantee include a loan default, which would result from failure of the primary borrower to service the debt when due, or non-compliance of the primary borrower with financial covenants and inadequacy of asset collateral. At June 30, 2004, we have not been required to satisfy any amounts pursuant to these debt and debt service guarantees.

 

Surety bonds, standby letters of credit and commitments

 

As of June 30, 2004, we have $305.3 million in surety bonds, outstanding standby letters of credit in favor of local municipalities or financial institutions, and commitments to guarantee the construction of real property improvements or financial obligations. Surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies in real estate development. Surety bonds and commitments are to guarantee the construction of public improvements and infrastructure such as sewer, streets, traffic signals, grading, and wildlife preservations, in connection with our various development projects. The surety bonds and standby letters of credit are renewable and expire upon completion of the required improvements. Standby letters of credit are a form of credit enhancement commonly required in real estate development when bonds are issued to finance public improvements.

 

Executed contracts for construction and development activity

 

At June 30, 2004, we have open construction and development contracts with vendors totaling $142.9 million related to our various projects, as compared to $155.8 million at December 31, 2003.

 

The following table summarizes our outstanding contractual obligations as of June 30, 2004, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Cash provided by operating activities reflected in the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, was $105.3 million and $59.6 million, respectively. The increase of $45.7 million was attributed to the following: (1) $16.3 million due to higher cash proceeds from development sales of which our cost of sales in 2004 was approximately $47.1 million; (2) $10.5 million in proceeds for the sale of land in Austin, Texas which was sold at cost; (3) $11.9 million due to lower capital expenditures on our development properties which included $10.5 million for the acquisition of land in Austin, Texas; (4) $15.8 million due to lower income tax paid; (5) and $3.7 million due to higher operating distributions from our residential joint ventures partially offset by (6) $3.0 million from lower payments received from our notes receivable.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities reflected in the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, was $34.0 million and $127.4 million, respectively. The decrease of $93.4 million in net cash used was attributed to the following: (1) $75.4 million due to lower property acquisitions primarily from the acquisition of a 10% minority interest in a consolidated subsidiary in January 2003; (2) $58.6 million from lower investment in short-term investments and restricted cash; (3) $13.9 million due to lower reimbursable predevelopment and infrastructure costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2004; (4) $4.7 million due to lower contributions made to our unconsolidated joint ventures; and (5) $0.5 million due to lower costs incurred for tenant improvements offset by increases of (6) $32.9 million due to higher capital expenditures for investment properties; (7) $18.2 million due to lower proceeds from the sale of investment properties; and (8) $8.6 million due to lower distributions received from an unconsolidated joint venture.

(1) Includes approximately 45,000 square feet of residential units at June 30, 2003, which have been completed and sold; excludes approximately 280,000 square feet of commercial space on which construction was started but stopped during 2001.

 

Predevelopment—Predevelopment costs from our operating and investing activities relate to amounts incurred for our development projects primarily at Mission Bay, San Francisco, California; Pacific Commons, Fremont, California; Santa Fe Depot, San Diego, California; Los Angeles Union Station, Los Angeles, California; Anaheim, California; and Tracy, California. Predevelopment costs were relatively consistent between the two periods.

 

Infrastructure and other—Infrastructure and other costs from our operating and investing activities primarily relate to the projects at Mission Bay, San Francisco, California; Pacific Commons, Fremont, California; Hercules, California; Fontana, California; West Bluffs, California; Santa Fe Depot, San Diego, California; Los Angeles Union Station, Los Angeles, California; Carteret, New Jersey; and Alameda, California. The increase in 2004 was because we had more projects in the infrastructure stage.

 

Operating property acquisitions—For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we invested approximately $11.8 million for the acquisitions of 32.2 acres of land in Austin, Texas and 7.0 acres of land in Glenview, Illinois. Both acquisitions were then sold in the same period, of which, the land in Austin, Texas was sold at cost and the land in Glenview, Illinois was sold for a gain of $1.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we invested approximately $11.2 million for the acquisition of 30.3 acres of land in Alameda, California for residential community development.

 

Investing property acquisitions— For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we invested approximately $3.3 million in investment property acquisitions: $2.1 million was for the acquisition of commercial land that added 1.4 million square feet of potential development and $1.2 million was for an acquisition of approximately 40,000 square feet of retail space. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we invested approximately $78.7 million in investment property acquisitions: $18.0 million for the acquisition of commercial land that added 8.0 million square feet of potential development and $60.7 million for the acquisition of a 10% minority interest in a consolidated subsidiary.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities reflected in the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, was $76.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The increase of $73.7 million in net cash used was attributed to the following: (1) $55.4 million due to dividend distributions as a result of our REIT conversion; (2) $14.7 million due to lower proceeds from the issuance of common stock primarily attributable to the exercise of stock options; and (3) $8.1 million due to lower net borrowings partially offset by (4) $4.5 million due to lower distributions made to minority partners during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as we acquired the 10% minority interest in a consolidated subsidiary in 2003.

Reimbursable Predevelopment and Infrastructure Costs

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we received approximately $2.3 million in reimbursements of predevelopment and infrastructure costs incurred on the behalf of various districts, pursuant to various bonds issued, and other third parties. As of June 30, 2004, of the total $210.2 million of reimbursable costs incurred, approximately $136.4 million had been reimbursed, of which, approximately $120.2 million was from bonds and approximately $16.2 million was from third parties, and the remaining balance of $73.8 million was recorded as Other Assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

REIT-related Distribution and Quarterly Dividends

 

On December 3, 2003, our Board declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ending December 31, 2003, of $0.27 per share of common stock that was paid on January 15, 2004, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 29, 2003.

 

On February 11, 2004, our Board declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ending March 31, 2004, of $0.27 per share of common stock that was paid on April 15, 2004, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 29, 2004.

 

On May 5, 2004, our Board declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ending June 30, 2004, of $0.27 per share of common stock that was paid on July 15, 2004, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 28, 2004.

 

Cash Balances, Available Borrowings, and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2004, we had total cash of $44.1 million, of which $3.5 million is restricted cash. In addition to the $44.1 million cash balance, we had $190.6 million in borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, available upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

 

Our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resources requirements will be provided primarily from five sources: (1) cash on hand, (2) ongoing income from our rental portfolio, (3) proceeds from sales of developed properties, land and non-strategic assets, (4) a revolving line of credit with a total capacity of $200 million, and (5) additional debt. As noted above, our existing revolving credit facility is available for meeting certain short-term liquidity requirements. Our ability to meet our mid- and long-term capital requirements is, in part, dependent upon the ability to obtain additional financing for new construction, completed buildings, acquisitions, and currently unencumbered properties. There is no assurance that we can obtain this financing or obtain this financing on favorable terms.

 

Debt covenants—Our new $200 million revolving credit agreement and two other credit agreements totaling $90.5 million have corporate financial covenants including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.30 to 1, a maximum leverage ratio of 0.65 to 1, a maximum secured indebtedness ratio of 0.50 to 1, and a minimum tangible net worth of $452.8 million, all terms as defined in those agreements. As of or for the period ending June 30, 2004 the actual results were 1.85 to 1; 0.57 to 1; 0.41 to 1; and $732.1 million, respectively. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base consisting of various categories of assets. At June 30, 2004, we had unused availability of $190.6 million under the line. Our 50% guarantee of one of our joint venture’s construction loans of $165 million contains corporate financial covenants including a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.60 to 1, a maximum leverage ratio of 65%, and a minimum tangible net worth of $452.8 million (subject to adjustment for stock buybacks), with different definitions than the other agreements. As of or for the period ending June 30, 2004, the actual results, were 2.10 to 1; 55.9%; and $732.1 million, respectively. Our performance against these covenants is measured on a quarterly basis, with fixed charge and debt service coverage ratios being measured on a four-quarter trailing basis. In the event we were to breach any of these covenants and were unable to negotiate satisfactory waivers or amendments, our lenders in these credit facilities could declare amounts outstanding due and payable.

 

Bonds

 

Assessment District Bonds—These bonds were issued through local municipalities to fund the construction of public infrastructure and improvements, which benefit our properties. Debt service on these bonds is collateralized by tax revenues, properties, or by letters of credit (see Note 8 of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). These bonds are recorded and presented as part of “Mortgage and other debt” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2004 (see Note 5 of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Certain infrastructure costs incurred are reimbursable from these bonds. As of June 30, 2004, we have essentially been reimbursed all of the infrastructure costs incurred thus far.

Community Facility District Bonds—These bonds were issued to finance public infrastructure improvements at Mission Bay in San Francisco and Pacific Commons in Fremont, California and were not required to be recorded in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These bonds have a series of maturities up to thirty years. For the bonds issued at Mission Bay, we provided letters of credit totaling $40.5 million in support of the floating rate bonds. Upon completion of the infrastructure improvements at Mission Bay and Pacific Commons, for which $133.3 million and $30.0 million bonds were issued, respectively, the improvements will be transferred to the respective cities. Of the total cumulative reimbursable cost incurred, approximately $89.5 million has been reimbursed as of June 30, 2004, with approximately $2.3 million received during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The remaining balance of $73.8 million is presented in “Other Assets” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2004. Of the $73.8 million, $10.6 million has been applied for reimbursements as the facility components are completed, inspected, and approved by the respective cities. Additional bonds are expected to be issued.

Tax Audit

 

In 2002, the State of California Franchise Tax Board (“FTB”) began auditing two of our joint ventures and, in 2003, began auditing Catellus’ tax returns for the years 1999 and 2000. The audits are in process, and no audit adjustments have been formally proposed. However, the FTB has informally advised us that a proposed adjustment with respect to one of our joint ventures will be forthcoming.

 

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is currently auditing the 1999 and 2000 income tax returns for Catellus and a mortgage REIT subsidiary of Catellus as well as the 1999 income tax return of one of our joint ventures. The audits are in process and no audit adjustments have yet been proposed.

 

At this time, we do not know whether any audit will ultimately result in adjustments to the income tax returns that would require us to pay additional taxes, interest and/or penalties. If required, any such adjustments could adversely impact our liquidity, statement of operations and/or balance sheet.

Related Party Transactions

 

The entities below are considered related parties because the listed transactions are with entities in which we have an ownership interest. There are no affiliated persons involved with these entities.

 

In 2001, we entered into a 99-year ground lease with one of our unconsolidated joint ventures, Third and King Investors, LLC, and we received and recognized $1.3 million and $0.9 million in rental income and reimbursements from this ground lease for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $2.5 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. At June 30, 2004, we had $1.3 million of deferred rent payments previously received, which will be recognized together with annual rents over the life of the lease. We have also agreed with the joint venture to fund, on a pro-rata basis, the balance of equity capital required and certain excess costs, if actual development costs exceed the approved development budget as set forth in the joint venture agreement. As of June 30, 2004, we had contributed $24.9 million of the $25 million to be funded from us, and we do not expect to fund any significant amount in excess of the $25 million.

 

We also provide development and management services and loan guarantees to several of our unconsolidated joint venture investments. Fees recognized were $0.3 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively and $1.2 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in 2004, was primarily due to a decrease in management service fees from Traer Creek, Serrano Associates, LLC, and Talega Village, LLC and development fees from Third and King Investors, LLC. At June 30, 2004, we have deferred fees from Third and King Investors, LLC, Serrano Associates, LLC, and Bergstrom Partners, L.P. of $1.0 million that will be recognized as completed projects are sold or the venture is sold or liquidated. In September 2003, we sold our investment interest in Traer Creek, LLC for a gain of $5.4 million, which was deferred until January 2004, upon the receipt of the full payment.

 

We have a $4.4 million note receivable from an unconsolidated joint venture, East Baybridge Partners, LP, for project costs plus accrued interest at 9.0%. This note is collateralized by property owned by the joint venture and matures in October 2028. We also have entered into various lease agreements with this unconsolidated joint venture. As lessee, we incurred rent expense of $34,000 for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and $68,000 for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003; this lease will expire in November 2011. As lessor, we also entered into a ground lease, which will expire in August 2054, with this unconsolidated joint venture. We recognized rental income of $0.1 million for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and $0.2 million for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. As of June 30, 2004, we recorded a $2.4 million receivable and a $0.9 million reserve associated with this lease. The joint venture’s current projection reflects approximately $0.4 million available funds, per year, from its operations to pay down our receivables.

 

In January 2004, we sold our 45% investment interest in Colorado International Center, an unconsolidated joint venture, for its capital investment balance of $0.3 million to an entity whose principal was our former employee.

 

In June 2004, we sold a small parcel of land to SAMS Venture, LLC for $0.7 million for a $0.1 million gain of which 50% was deferred.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46-R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46-R”). FIN 46-R requires that any entity meeting certain rules relating to a company’s level of economic risks and rewards be consolidated as a variable interest entity. The statement is applicable to all variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003, and the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2003, for variable interest entities in which we hold a variable interest that was acquired before February 1, 2003. We have adopted FIN 46-R as required. There is no significant effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of our initial adoption of this standard with regard to existing variable interest entities; however, future newly formed entities could meet these requirements and will be recorded as appropriate.

 

At June 30, 2004, the Company holds significant variable interests in three variable interest entities that do not qualify for consolidation under the provisions of FIN 46-R. The Company’s significant variable interests are in the form of equity interests in three of its unconsolidated joint ventures:

 

  Bayport Alameda Associates, LLC was formed in May 2003 to redevelop land in Alameda, California into 485 residential lots for sale. Our exposure will increase to the extent additional costs are incurred by us to develop the site prior to our contribution of the land to the entity.

 

  Bergstrom Partners, L.P. was formed in January 2003 to redevelop and market 624 acres of land at a former missile test site in Travis County, Texas. We are required to contribute up to $1.0 million in total contributions should there be insufficient funds to meet its current or projected financial requirements.

  SAMS Venture, LLC was formed in January 2003 to initially develop a new 545,000 square foot office park for the Los Angeles Air Force Base, convey that property to the United States Air Force in exchange for three parcels of land totaling 56 acres and other consideration, and finally either sell or develop for sale the three parcels. Our exposure will increase should this joint venture require additional contributions from its partners.

 

Our maximum exposure in the current financial statements as a result of our involvement with these variable interest entities is $18.1 million as of June 30, 2004.

 

Environmental Matters

 

Many of our properties and our subsidiaries’ properties are in urban and industrial areas and may have been leased to or previously owned by commercial and industrial companies that discharged hazardous materials. We and our subsidiaries incur ongoing environmental remediation and disposal costs and legal costs relating to clean up, defense of litigation, and the pursuit of responsible third parties. Costs incurred by the consolidated group in connection with operating properties and with properties previously sold are expensed. Costs incurred for properties to be sold by us or our subsidiaries are capitalized and will be charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold (see Note 8 of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).

 

In recent years, certain of our subsidiaries have acquired properties with known environmental problems for cleanup and redevelopment, and we expect that we may continue to form subsidiaries to acquire such properties (or that existing subsidiaries will acquire such properties) when the potential benefits of development warrant. When our subsidiaries acquire such properties, they undertake due diligence to determine the nature of the environmental problems and the likely cost of remediation, and they manage the risk with undertakings from third parties, including the sellers and their affiliates, remediation contractors, third party sureties, or insurers. The costs associated with environmental remediation are included in the costs estimates for properties to be developed.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk as our financial instruments are not subject to foreign exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. We continuously and actively monitor and manage interest costs on our debt and may enter into interest rate-protection contracts based on changing market conditions. At June 30, 2004, we did not have any interest rate protection contracts outstanding.

 

As of June 30, 2004, approximately 83.6% of our debt bears interest at fixed rates and has a weighted average maturity of 6.1 years and a weighted average coupon rate of 6.68%. The interest rate risk for fixed rate debt does not have a significant impact on the Company until such debt matures and may need to be refinanced. If coupon interest rate changed 100 basis points (1%), the effect on the fair value of our fixed-rate debt would be approximately $53.4 million. The remainder of our debt bears interest at variable rates with a weighted average maturity of 3.0 years and a weighted average coupon rate of 2.79%. To the extent that we incur additional variable rate indebtedness, we increase our exposure to increases in interest rates. If coupon interest rate increased 100 basis points (1%), the annual effect would be an increase in interest expense and capitalized interest cost, which would have an impact on our cash position of approximately $1.8 million, based on the outstanding balance of our floating rate debt net of cash and restricted cash at June 30, 2004. We believe that moderate increases in interest expense as a result of inflation will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2004. No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is subject to lawsuits, certain governmental proceedings (including environmental actions), and various environmental remediation orders of local governmental agencies, in each case arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company and the cost of compliance with any governmental order cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect any of these matters to have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operation, financial condition, or liquidity.

 

Although the Company is a party to routine proceedings incidental to its business, the Company is not a party to, nor is its property the subject of, any material pending legal proceeding, except as provided below.

 

On March 12, 2003, the Department of Toxics and Substance Control of the State of California (“DTSC”) notified the Company of an investigation of the Company, its general contractors, and subcontractors working for such general contractors, concerning the Mission Bay project. The investigation, which is ongoing, focuses on whether individuals and companies hauling soil within and from Mission Bay satisfied certain hazardous waste license/certification hauling requirements. The DTSC issued notices of violation, without fines or penalties, to the Company and one subcontractor on May 23, 2003, citing the subcontractor’s failure to qualify as a registered hazardous waste hauler. The Company is cooperating fully with the investigation. The Company does not anticipate that this investigation or any proceeding that may result from this investigation will have a material adverse impact on the Mission Bay project.

 

The Company owns approximately 47 acres located in the Westchester—Playa Del Rey area of Los Angeles, California adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and Ballona Wetlands (“West Bluffs”), which have an entitlement for the development of 114 single family homes but are subject to certain legal actions. On October 6, 2000, a lawsuit (the “Coastal Act Lawsuit”) was filed by the Sierra Club et al. against the California Coastal Commission and the Company as a real party in interest in the San Francisco Superior Court challenging approvals issued by the California Coastal Commission for the development of the project. This suit was subsequently consolidated with an additional suit filed on February 9, 2001.

 

On December 13, 2000, the trial court denied petitioners’ request for a preliminary injunction in the Coastal Act Lawsuit. On January 11, 2001, petitioners appealed the trial court’s ruling, which resulted in the First District Court of Appeal (“First District”) enjoining any construction activity in the portion of the project within the coastal zone. This stay was dissolved on October 10, 2001, when the case was remanded to the trial court. On June 7, 2003, the trial court ruled in favor of the Company on the merits, denying the petitioners’ request for writ of mandate and for injunction. The petitioners subsequently filed a motion to stay construction in the coastal zone pending petitioners’ filing of an appeal of the trial court’s decision, which motion was granted on August 13, 2003. The petitioners then filed an appeal to the First District and sought and obtained a stay from that court pending resolution of the appeal. The appeal was fully briefed and a hearing was held on March 26, 2003. The First District issued its opinion affirming in full the San Francisco Superior Court finding in favor of the Company and dissolving the stay on April 11, 2003. Furthermore, on May 9, 2003,

the First District denied the petitioners’ petition for rehearing. The petitioners filed a petition for review in the California Supreme Court on May 22, 2003. On July 23, 2003 the Supreme Court granted review, but on August 18, 2003, it denied petitioners’ request for a stay to prevent development of the project site. The case has been fully briefed, but a hearing date has not yet been set.

 

On March 26, 1999, the Coalition for Concerned Communities, Inc. et al. (the “Coalition”) filed a lawsuit (“CEQA Lawsuit”) against the Company and The City of Los Angeles in the Los Angeles Superior Court alleging land use and California Environmental Quality Act violations with respect to the West Bluffs project approvals. On January 18, 2001, the Los Angeles Superior Court denied the Coalition’s petition and found in favor of the Company. On March 23, 2001, the Coalition filed a notice of appeal in the Second District Court of Appeal (“Second District”). On July 15, 2003, the Coalition filed a motion in the Second District to stop the development of the West Bluffs project until the final decision on the appeal, which motion was denied by the court on July 30, 2003. The Second District held a hearing on the merits on September 17, 2003 and submitted the matter. On March 17, 2003, the Second District vacated the submission and postponed rendering its decision. On May 19, 2003, the Coalition filed another motion in the Second District to stop the development of the West Bluffs project. On May 28, 2003, the Second District denied the Coalition’s motion. The Second District denied a subsequent stay request on August 19, 2003. On September 8, 2003, the Second District affirmed the trial’s court’s decision in favor of the Company. On October 20, 2003, the Coalition filed a petition for review in the California Supreme Court, which granted review on December 17, 2003. The review is limited to the issue of whether the Mello Roos Act affordable housing requirements apply to the West Bluffs project. The case has been fully briefed, but a hearing date has not yet been set.

 

On July 16, 2003, three residents who live near the West Bluffs site filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court against the Company based upon a public easement theory. On August 26, 2003, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction to stay development of the project. Subsequently, one of the plaintiffs dismissed his claims. On May 17, 2004, the Company’s motion for summary judgment as to the remaining plaintiffs was granted, and judgment was entered in favor of the Company on all counts. A motion relating to the determination of recoverable costs is pending in the Superior Court, and in July 2004, the Company and the remaining plaintiffs agreed to postpone the hearing on the motion until August 27, 2004. In the interim, the Company and the remaining plaintiffs reached an agreement, whereby the plaintiffs will waive any right to appeal in this matter in exchange for the Company waiving its costs and making a payment of a certain sum. The payment has been made, and this matter has been fully and finally resolved.

 

The litigation process delayed the previously planned start of infrastructure construction. However, because the First District dissolved the stay in the Coastal Act Lawsuit that prevented construction activity, the Company’s infrastructure construction on the West Bluffs site commenced in May 2003. Further, because no other legal impediments currently exist, such infrastructure construction is progressing, and the process of preparing the site for home construction is nearing completion. Although the Company intends to proceed with the work needed to complete the West Bluffs project, there can be no assurance that further litigation proceedings with respect to the West Bluffs project will not result in additional delays. The Company is unable to predict the length of any such delay at this time. The Company does not believe that the litigation process will permanently prevent the Company from completing the West Bluffs project; however, there can be no assurance in that regard.
