CATELLUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

 

PART I

 

Item 1.    Business

 

Catellus Development Corporation (“Catellus”) is a publicly traded real estate investment trust, or “REIT” (all references to Catellus or the Company mean the current Catellus or its predecessor, as applicable), focused on operating and developing predominantly industrial rental property in many of the country’s major distribution centers and transportation corridors, including southern California, Dallas, Chicago, Denver, northern New Jersey, and Atlanta.

 

Catellus was formed originally in 1984 to conduct the non-railroad activities of the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation. In 1990, the Company was spun off to stockholders and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange as a C corporation, under the symbol CDX. Our railroad heritage gave us a diverse base of developable property located near and along major transportation corridors in major western United States markets. This land proved suitable for the development of a variety of product types, including industrial, retail, office, and residential. Over time, we have expanded our business by focusing on acquiring and developing land suitable primarily for industrial property.

 

In March of 2003, Catellus announced its intention to restructure its business to allow it to operate as a REIT, a decision that was approved by the stockholders in September 2003. The current Catellus was organized in Delaware on March 28, 2003, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the predecessor Catellus. On December 1, 2003, we completed the merger of affiliated entities, which was part of the restructuring of our business operations to allow us to operate as a REIT. The conversion to operating as a REIT was effective January 1, 2004.

 

Business Strategy

 

Catellus’ principal objective is sustainable, long-term growth in earnings. Consistent with this objective, we seek to enhance shareholder value by implementing our focused business strategy, providing stable cash flows and growth opportunities. To accomplish this, we intend to:

 

    Capitalize on our strengths and on the stability of cash flows generated from our newly developed industrial rental portfolio;

 

    Increase our focus on lower-risk, higher return industrial property management, development, and acquisition when at or near replacement cost;

 

    Leverage our land development skills and selectively seek opportunistic land development projects outside of the industrial business; and

 

    Reinvest capital from the sale of the urban and residential properties into the industrial business.

 

Rental Portfolio

 

Our rental portfolio, which at December 31, 2004, was 94.7% leased and consisted of approximately 40.5 million square feet of commercial property, of which approximately 89.8% is industrial, provides a relatively consistent source of earnings. The significant majority of our rental portfolio is relatively new and has been developed by us. Our customers include high-quality firms that want state-of-the-art buildings to accommodate the needs of today’s distribution technologies.

 

Land and building development

 

Our development activities provide cash flow through the sale of land or the conversion of land to property that is typically added to our rental portfolio, or to a lesser extent, sold to tenants, other developers, investors, or other interested parties. At December 31, 2004, our portfolio of developable land was capable of supporting approximately 36.5 million square feet of space. We invest in additional land to ensure our potential for future growth.

Select Development

 

Our strategic focus on industrial property represents our commitment to what we believe offers the best opportunity for enhancing shareholder value, however the combination of skills and expertise that Catellus has built since our inception allows us to apply our skills to select development opportunities that may not always be industrial, especially projects that may not require significant capital investment on our part.

 

Monetizing Non-Core Assets:

 

We have currently two primary reporting segments. The first segment, or Core Segment, reflects the part of our business that is ongoing and central to our future operations. The second segment, or Urban, Residential & Other Segment (“URO”), reflects our non-core businesses—including residential lot development, urban development, and desert land sales—which we have been transitioning out of since our March 2003 REIT conversion announcement, and REIT transition costs. By year-end 2004, we had made significant progress monetizing these non-core assets.

 

For more information about the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K.

 

We expect to pursue our investment objectives through the direct and indirect ownership, development, acquisition, and management of properties. We intend to focus on properties in those markets where we currently have operations and in new markets selectively targeted by management consistent with a strategic plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. However, future investments or development activities will not be limited to any geographic area or to a specified percentage or amount of our assets. We intend to engage in such further investment and development activities in a manner that is consistent with the maintenance of our REIT status for federal income tax purposes. Although we generally prefer to own property directly, we may participate with other entities in property ownership through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership.

 

In order to qualify as a REIT, Catellus must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends. The Company paid its first quarterly dividend on November 25, 2003, and as a REIT, Catellus’ current quarterly dividend is $0.27 per share. 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. Prior to the REIT conversion, Catellus operated as a C corporation since its incorporation. A REIT is not permitted to retain earnings and profits accumulated during the years when it or its predecessor company was taxed as a C corporation. It must distribute to its shareholders, in the form of a special dividend, the C corporation retained earnings and profits. Catellus paid a one-time special dividend, to shareholders on December 18, 2003, in order to distribute all of its C corporation earnings and profits. On December 1, 2004, Catellus Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $0.45 per share of common stock paid on January 18, 2005, to stockholders or record at the close of business on December 28, 2004, in connection with the 2004 sale of non-core assets and other taxable REIT subsidiary activities.

 

Our principal office is located at 201 Mission Street, San Francisco, California 94105; our telephone number at that location is (415) 974-4500; and our website address is catellus.com. This annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to these reports are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Competition

 

The real estate industry is generally fragmented and characterized by significant competition. Numerous developers, owners of industrial, and other properties, and managers compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition, development, and management opportunities; and tenants for buildings. There are competitors in each area in which we operate who have greater capital resources than we. There can be no assurance that the existence of such competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and cash flow.

 

Employees, Contractors, and Consultants

 

At December 31, 2004, we had 219 employees in our consolidated company. We engage third parties to manage multi-tenant properties and properties in locations that are not in proximity to our regional or field offices. The Company’s employees are not represented by a collective bargaining agreement, and management considers its relations with employees to be good. In addition, we engage outside consultants such as architects and design firms in connection with our pre-development activities. We also employ third-party contractors on development projects for infrastructure and building construction, and retain consultants to assist us in a variety of areas at the project and corporate levels.

 

Working with organized labor is a critical component of many of our projects. With the high volume of construction activity in many of our markets, labor shortages and costs could significantly influence the success of projects. In addition, organized labor often plays a key role in community organizations and discretionary land use decisions concerning entitlements.

 

Item 2.    Properties

 

Our principal executive office is located in San Francisco, California, and we have regional or field offices in eleven other locations throughout the United States. We believe that our property and equipment are generally well maintained, in good condition, and adequate for our present needs.

 

Rental Portfolio

 

Our rental portfolio is comprised of commercial rental property, ground leases and other properties, and interests in several joint ventures. We own 40.5 million square feet of commercial rental property of which 89.8% is industrial, 7.7% is office, and 2.5% is retail. Since the end of 1995, our portfolio has expanded by more than 26 million square feet, or 188%, primarily through our development activities. We also own approximately 5,600 acres of land subject to ground leases, approximately 121,000 square feet of other rent generating properties, and joint venture interests in two hotels and two office buildings.

Building Portfolio

 

Sixty-eight percent of the total square footage of the rental buildings in our portfolio was constructed since 1995. Our goal is to generally own properties that we perceive to provide stable cash flow over time. Correspondingly, certain older buildings and other properties may be sold over time.

Operating Joint Venture Portfolio

 

Catellus had direct or indirect equity interests in four joint ventures that owned rental properties during the year. The joint ventures provided us with cash distributions of $7.4 million and earnings of $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The joint venture agreements of these joint ventures contain provisions with certain safeguard features for our investments, such as voting rights in major decisions of the joint ventures, and venture partners’ consents on sales of a venture partner’s ownership interest.

 

11


In entering into joint venture transactions, we evaluate the merits and risks of the joint venture assets and structure as well as the financial condition of other co-ownership entities in making our investment decision. We have no formal policies on structural issues such as voting control requirements, veto powers, or purchase provisions, but instead, we evaluate the investment opportunity in its entirety when making such a decision.

Ground Leases and Other Properties:

 

Ground Leases

 

We own approximately 5,600 acres of ground leases that we intend to hold but do not consider part of our rental portfolio square footage presentation. We expect that the level of income generated from this category will remain relatively constant over the next several years.

Other Properties

 

As of December 31, 2004, in addition to 40.5 million square feet of buildings in our rental portfolio, we also own two train stations aggregating approximately 121,000 square feet and 10 acres of ground leases that are being marketed for sale (“Other Property”). Approximately 100 acres of ground leases were sold during 2004. In addition, we sold all of our other properties in Northern California as part of a larger sale of our Non-Core assets in November of 2004. The level of income generated from this category will decline as a significant portion were sold in 2004.

Summary of Remaining Non-Core Assets as of December 31, 2004

 

    A 9.65-acre site entitled for approximately one million square feet of commercial development at Mission Bay that Catellus recently announced it is negotiating to ground lease to the University of California. Upon commencement of the ground lease, the rent on the 99-year lease is expected to be included in Catellus’ rental portfolio and will be part of Core Operations.

 

    The remaining development land at Los Angeles Union Station (36.5 acres and 5.2 million square feet). The book value for the development land at LAUS is $54.3 million as of December 31, 2004.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is subject to lawsuits, certain governmental proceedings, 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 operations, 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, 2002, 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 was initiated primarily for purposes of determining 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, 2002, citing the subcontractor’s failure to qualify as a registered hazardous waste hauler. The Company has not since received any communications from the DTSC regarding any change in the status of the investigation. The Company is working with the DTSC on a basis for concluding the investigation. In any event, the Company does not anticipate that the investigation or any proceeding that may result from the investigation will have a material adverse impact on the Mission Bay project.

 

The Company formerly owned 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 November 23, 2004, the Company completed the sale of the West Bluffs to an unaffiliated entity. At that time, the West Bluffs was subject to two material legal proceedings, as described below.

 

On October 6, 2000, a lawsuit (“Coastal Act Lawsuit”) was filed by the Sierra Club and certain other parties 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. Both the trial court and the First District Court of Appeal have ruled in favor of the Company and the California Coastal Commission on the merits. The case is presently pending before the California Supreme Court, with a hearing scheduled for March 2005. Petitioners’ requests for injunctive relief at the trial, appellate and Supreme Court levels have been unsuccessful in preventing the development of the West Bluffs project site.

 

On March 26, 1999, the Coalition for Concerned Communities, Inc. and certain other parties (“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. Both the trial court and the Second District Court of Appeal have ruled in favor of the Company on the merits, and the Coalition’s motions to stay the development of the West Bluffs project site have

 

16


been unsuccessful. In October 2003, the California Supreme Court granted the Coalition’s petition for review on the sole issue of whether, as maintained by the Coalition, the Mello Roos Act affordable housing requirements apply to the West Bluffs project. In December 2004, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Company and the City of Los Angeles, thus concluding the CEQA Lawsuit.

 

Although the litigation process delayed the previously planned start of infrastructure construction on the West Bluffs project site, the Company commenced such construction in May 2003. Infrastructure construction and the process of preparing the site for home construction are nearing completion. With the conclusion of the CEQA Lawsuit, the Coastal Act Lawsuit is the only material legal proceeding to which the West Bluffs property is subject. However, there can be no assurance that further litigation proceedings with respect to the West Bluffs project will not result in additional delays. In any event, as the result of the sale of West Bluffs, any legal proceeding to which the property is subject will no longer be material as to the Company.

On March 1, 2005, there were approximately 15,401 holders of record of the Company’s common stock. Cash dividends of $0.27 per common share for the fourth quarter 2003 and the first, second, and third quarters of 2004 were paid on January 15, 2004, April 15, 2004, July 15, 2004 and October 15, 2004; respectively.

 

On December 1, 2004, the Company’s Board declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ending December 31, 2004, of $0.27 per share of common stock, or $27.9 million, and a special dividend of $0.45 per share of common stock, or $46.5 million, that were paid on January 18, 2005, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 28, 2004, see REIT-related Distribution and Quarterly Dividends section in MD&A for detail of distribution and dividends.

 

The Company’s revolving credit facility includes a covenant restricting dividends, subject to certain exceptions, in any fiscal year to the greater of (i) 95% of Funds From Operations or (ii) such amount necessary for the REIT Guarantor to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company was in compliance with this covenant for the 2004 fiscal year, as actual dividends amounted to 71% of Funds from Operations.

Item 7.    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 that may not always be industrial, especially projects that may not require significant capital investment on our part.

 

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, as well as additional locations.

 

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

 

20


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 December 31, 2004, we owned 40.5 million square feet of commercial rental properties, of which approximately 89.8% is industrial space. Our industrial rental portfolio is geographically diverse, located in major transportation corridors and distribution centers such as southern California, Chicago, Dallas, and Atlanta, with planned expansion into northern 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 Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our 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, stock-based compensation plans, 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 three sources: rental revenue from our rental portfolio, management, development and other fees, 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. We have various retail and ground leases that provide for rental revenues which are contingent upon the lessee’s operations. Contingent rental income on these leases is recognized when the specified target is achieved.

 

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. Specific identification and relative sales value methods are also 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.

 

Management, development, and other fees are recognized as earned. Fees earned from our unconsolidated joint ventures are recognized to the extent of outside ownership with our share deferred. These deferred fees will be recognized when the assets or venture is either sold or liquidated, as appropriate.

 

We may receive fees from tenants as consideration for early termination of their lease agreement. These lease termination fees are amortized over the revised remaining lease term, if any. In conjunction with the receipt of lease termination fees, we perform a review of all lease related assets and liabilities to determine if impairment has occurred and whether or not the amortization period continues to be appropriate.

 

21


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, as well as on a quarterly basis. 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 based on the projected holding period, 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. Fair value is determined by a combination of expected cash flow and recent comparable sales and 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 cost 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. General and administrative costs are capitalized based on projected activities on actual projects. 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 acquisition 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,

 

22


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. It is anticipated that these costs may be incurred over an extended period. 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.

 

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.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

 

During 2004, two performance-based executive award plans were established under our 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 our common stock. Performance Units are entitled to dividend equivalents representing dividends on an equal number of shares of our common stock. Dividend equivalents are credited to participants’ accounts as additional Performance Units. 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 as to certain participants and are payable in our common stock. LTIP awards vest at December 31, 2006 if our 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 our common stock and 50% in cash (see Note 11).

 

We expense dividends paid on restricted stock, restricted stock units and Director Restricted Stock Units (see Note 11).

 

Income taxes

 

As part of the process of preparing our 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. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our 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 in assessments of the recognition of tax benefits for certain non routine transactions 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 Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“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.

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 time and before the adjustments for discontinued operations. We have two reportable segments: (1) Core Segment and (2) Urban, Residential and Other Segment. Core Segment includes (a) the management and leasing of our rental portfolio, (b) 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 (c) select land development opportunities that may not always be industrial, especially projects that may not require significant capital investment on our part, where we can utilize our land development skills. URO includes the remaining residential projects, urban development activities and desert land sales, of which a majority portion was sold during 2004, and REIT transition costs.

 

Consistent with our previously announced strategy of monetizing our Non-Core assets, in November of 2004, we sold substantially all of the remaining land and entitlements at Mission Bay (excluding a 9.65-acre parcel currently under ground lease negotiations with the University of California); West Bluffs, a 114-unit residential development in Westchester—Playa del Rey, California; Bayport, a 485-unit residential development in Alameda, California; and the remaining land at Santa Fe Depot, in San Diego, California to an affiliate of Farallon Capital Management, LLC. We plan to transition out of URO Segment over time as the remaining assets are dissolved, and URO Segment will eventually be eliminated, accordingly.

 

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

 

Net Income

 

Our net income in 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $171.8 million, $234.8 million, and $100.7 million, respectively. The discussion and analysis of our net income should be read in conjunction with the Funds from Operations appearing in the following pages of this Form 10-K (see Note 13 to Consolidated Financial Statements for Reconciliation to Statement of Operations.)

 

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 sales of income-producing assets, and cumulative effects 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

 

24


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 to the operating performance of different companies. Our computation of FFO does include gains (losses) 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.

Rental Revenue

 

Rental revenue has increased in 2004 and 2003 primarily because of building additions, partially offset by properties sold and lower rental from same space because of lower occupancy rate. We added a net 2.3 million square feet (6% of 2003) in 2004, 1.2 million square feet in 2003, and 6.1 million square feet in 2002 to our rental portfolio. Rental revenue for 2004, 2003, and 2002, are summarized as follows:

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 and ground leases 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 residential and urban projects remaining at the time of REIT conversion, and desert land sales (see Gain on Non-strategic Asset Sales below).

 

Sales revenue less cost of sales increased $23.4 million in our Core Segment in 2004 but decreased $17.2 million in our Core Segment in 2003 as compared to 2002. The increase in our Core Segment in 2004 was because of higher rental building gains of $17.5 million, higher land sales of $5.1 million, and higher ground

 

30


lease and other sales of $1.5 million, partially offset by lower build-to-suit gains of $0.7 million. The decreases in our Core Segment in 2003 was because of lower rental building gains of $14.6 million; lower land sale gains of $5.4 million and lower ground lease and other gains of $0.3 million, partially offset by higher build-to-suit gains of $3.1 million. The 2004 other sales in our Core Segment included $5.3 million of deferred gains from selling our interest in one of our joint ventures in September 2003 (see Variability in Results section).

 

In our Core Segment, during 2004, we sold six operating properties totaling 1.1 million square feet of building space, two build-to-suit buildings totaling 58,000 square feet, sold improved land capable of supporting 3.6 million square feet of commercial development, and sold 6.5 acres of ground leases. During 2003, we sold four operating properties totaling 797,000 square feet of building space, two build-to-suit buildings totaling 1.1 million square feet, closed on the sale of improved land capable of supporting 1.2 million square feet of commercial development, and sold 51.9 acres of ground leases. In addition, $8.0 million and $2.2 million of deferred profits were recognized in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Sales revenue less cost of sales increased $2.3 million and $46.5 million in our URO Segment in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in our URO Segment in 2004 was due to higher land and lots gains of $16.2 million, partially offset by lower ground lease and other gains of $12.6 million and lower building gain of $1.3 million. The increase in our URO Segment in 2003 was due to higher land and lots gains of $43.7 million, higher building and ground lease and other gains of $2.8 million.

 

In November of 2004, we sold a majority of our Non-Core assets, which included improved land capable of supporting 2.1 million square feet of office and life science development and 3,103 residential units at our Mission Bay project, land capable of supporting 0.5 million square feet of mixed use development from the Santa Fe Depot project in San Diego, California, a 114-unit residential development in Westchester-Playa Del Rey, California (West Bluffs), and our remaining interest in a 485-unit residential development in Alameda, California to an affiliate of Farallon Capital Management, LLC. In our URO Segment, we also sold 8 condominiums and 19.9 acres of land at our Mission Bay project, 2.8 acres of land at our LA Union Station project, closed on the sale of a five-block land site in Oceanside, California, and 100.3 acres of ground leases. In addition, we recognized deferred gain of $1.1 million from the 2003 sale of 1.0 acre of land capable of supporting development of 105 condominium units from the Mission Bay project and recognized $15.6 million deferred gain from the sale of residential lots.

 

In December of 2004, we sold our interest in the joint venture project Third and King Investors, LLC at Mission Bay and we recorded a loss of $5.6 million in addition to the impairment charge of $1.0 million to our investment that we recorded in the Equity in Earnings of Development Joint Ventures in September of 2004 (see Equity in Earnings of Development Joint Venture, Net below). The increase in the loss is because of additional insurance costs of $2.8 million, and unanticipated delays in the closing of the sale which resulted in increased interest expense of $1.5 million, operating costs of $0.5 million, and construction expenses of $0.5 million.

 

During 2003, we sold 26 condominiums and 1.0 acres of land capable of supporting development of 105 condominium units from the Mission Bay project, 2.7 acres of land capable of supporting development of 710 condominium units from the Santa Fe Depot project, closed on the sale of 3,081 residential lots and sold 3,833 acres of ground leases. In addition, we redeemed our investment interests in the Talega joint venture in 2003. We sold all of our remaining desert land in 2004 and we plan to transition out of the residential and historic urban development activities over time. As of December 31, 2004, we have 49 residential lots under contract to be sold.

 

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 fees. Management, development and other fees in our Core Segment decreased $2.6 million in 2004 but increased $2.7 million in 2003 primarily because of the recognition of certain deferred construction management fees related to a construction management contract with a ground lease lessee in 2003.

 

31


Management, development and other fees in our URO Segment decreased $2.9 million in 2004, primarily because of completion of a joint venture development at the Mission Bay project. We sold our interest in this joint venture in December 2004. The decrease in 2004 was partially offset by the recognition of deferred fee from the sale of our remaining interest in a 485-unit residential development in Alameda. Management, development and other fees in our URO Segment increased $1.3 million in 2003, primarily because of loan guarantee fees and higher development management activities related to the joint venture development at the Mission Bay project.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.8 million in our Core Segments in 2004, primarily due to decreased employee-related expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million in our URO Segments in 2004 primarily because of charges recognized in 2004 related to the exchange of options into restricted stock and restricted stock units in conjunction with the REIT conversion, partially offset by one-time severance costs and early vesting charges related to a reduction of staff associated with the REIT conversion in 2003.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.0 million and $6.1 million in our Core and URO Segments in 2003, respectively, primarily because of one-time severance costs and early vesting charges related to a reduction of staff. Included in selling, general and administration expenses in 2003 is $12.2 million related to severance, early vesting charges, and charges related to the exchange of options into restricted stock in conjunction with the REIT conversion.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

The increases in depreciation and amortization expense of $4.8 million and $7.7 million in our Core Segment in 2004 and 2003, respectively, were primarily attributable to the new buildings added to the portfolio. In addition, we recorded a charge of $1.2 million related to an adjustment to the depreciable lives of tenant improvements and leasing commission in the third quarter of 2004. In 2004 and 2003, we added 2.3 million net square feet and 1.2 million net square feet of building space, respectively, to our portfolio. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.7 million in our URO Segment in 2003, while the same expense in 2004 was relatively flat.

 

Other Income

 

Equity in Earnings of Operating Joint Ventures

 

Equity in earnings of operating joint ventures, net, decreased by $0.8 million and $1.4 million in 2004, and 2003, respectively. The decreases were primarily because of lower average room rates in hotels owned by two joint ventures.

 

Equity in Earnings of Development Joint Ventures, Net

 

Our equity in earnings of development joint ventures, net is primarily generated in our URO Segment mainly relating to residential activities. The tables below summarize our share of the activities of joint ventures for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. The 2004 decrease in our gain from sales was primarily because of lower sales volume from Talega and Talega Village and an impairment charge to one of our joint venture investments, partially offset by higher sales volume from Serrano and earnings from Alameda Bayport. We sold our interest in Talega and substantially wound up operations in Talega Village in 2003. The 2003 increase in our gain from sales was primarily because of higher sales margins from the Talega joint venture, partially offset by lower sales volumes from Parkway, Serrano, and Talega Village (see Variability in Results section). In September of 2004, we estimated that approximately $1.0 million of net realizable value of one of our investments might not be recoverable, accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.0 million to our

 

32


investment in the joint venture. We sold our interest in this joint venture in December of 2004 and incurred additional loss of $5.6 million (see Gain on Property Sales above). 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. We expect to continue to reduce our investment in and earnings from development joint ventures over time.

Gain on Non-Strategic Asset Sales

 

Gain on sales of non-strategic assets decreased $5.9 million in 2004, but increased $15.7 million in 2003. We sold substantially all our remaining non-strategic assets in 2004.

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income increased $6.9 million in our Core Segment in 2004 because of higher average note balances which is attributable to the additional note receivables of approximately $274.6 million from the sale of our majority Non-Core assets in November of 2004. Interest income decreased $0.5 million in our Core Segment in 2003 because of lower interest from short-term investments as average cash balances and average interest rates were lower in 2003. Interest income in our URO Segment increased $2.6 million in 2004 primarily because we recognized $4.2 million of deferred interest income from the sale of a 485-unit residential development in Alameda, partially offset by lower interest income from a note receivable which was paid off in 2004. Interest income decreased $2.0 million in our URO Segment in 2003 because certain seller notes were paid off in 2003.

 

Other

 

Other income consists primarily of lease termination fees and other miscellaneous income. Other income in our Core Segment and URO Segment were relatively flat in 2004 when compared to 2003. Other income in our Core Segment decreased $5.9 million in 2003 because of lower lease termination fees than in 2002. Other income in our URO Segment increased $0.4 million in 2003 because of $0.6 million related to expiration of a sales option and recognition of the associated proceeds, partially offset by a reduction in legal reserve of $0.2 million in 2003.

Interest expensed increased $4.0 million and $1.4 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively, primarily because of additional debt placed on operating rental properties, and lower capitalized interest resulted from lower development activities. We expect capitalized interest to continue to decline due to the sale of a substantial portion of our URO Segment assets which accounted for $7.7 million capitalized interest in 2004.

 

Real Estate Investment Trust 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 $0.4 million in 2004. We do not expect to incur any additional costs after 2004. From 2003 through 2004, we have incurred approximately $7.7 million of REIT transition costs primarily for consulting, legal, and tax services.

 

Other

 

Other expenses consist primarily of expenses related to previously capitalized costs, impairment charges, and other miscellaneous expenses. Other expenses in our Core Segment decreased $3.1 million in 2004, but increased $7.5 million in 2003 were primarily because of lower impairment charges in 2004. Other expenses in 2004 included $4.3 million of impairment charges to a rental building and certain developable land projects while 2003 other expenses included $6.7 million of impairment charges to certain development land projects and $0.9 million of equipment reserve. When performing the impairment review, we consider capitalized interest and other expenses as costs of development in cost 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. Other expenses in our URO Segment increased $4.4 million in 2004 primarily because of higher community facility district taxes and net real estate property taxes. Other expenses in our URO Segment decreased $0.3 million in 2003 was primarily because we expensed certain predevelopment costs previously capitalized in 2002.

 

Minority Interests

 

In 1999, we formed a subsidiary for financing purposes and sold 10% of this subsidiary’s stock to minority investors. This subsidiary was consolidated for financial reporting purposes. In January 2003, the subsidiary acquired the 10% interest of the minority investors and, accordingly, became a wholly-owned subsidiary. This subsidiary was merged into Catellus Development Corporation in November of 2003.

 

Income taxes

 

In December 2003, we restructured our business operations to enable us to qualify as a REIT effective January 1, 2004. In general, a corporation that elects REIT status and distributes at least 90% of its taxable

 

34


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. Beginning January 1, 2004, we have been operating as a REIT, including paying at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to shareholders in 2004. Based on these considerations, we believe that we will not be liable for taxes (except with respect to the items discussed below) and, in 2003, reversed approximately $232 million of deferred tax liabilities.

 

In 2003, as part of restructuring our operations to qualify as a REIT, we created subsidiaries (subject to certain size limitations) that qualify as Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRS”) and will be subject to federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, we 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 will continue to be reflected as net deferred tax liabilities at the TRS and in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Also, at December 31, 2003, a majority of our assets outside of the TRS have values in excess of tax basis (“built-in-gain”). Under the REIT rules, we are 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) within ten years. We believe that we will pay taxes on built-in-gains on our assets subject to purchase options in the event we cannot effectuate a tax-free exchange. As a result of this future tax liability, the temporary differences between book and tax amounts for these assets will continue to be reflected as net deferred tax liabilities 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. In 2003, we provided for a current tax liability, currently totaling approximately $124 million related to certain transactions under audit where we have taken a tax benefit, but the tax impact is uncertain. Lastly, we expect that once certain tasks are completed, certain of our assets not currently in the TRS will later be contributed to the TRS and carry temporary differences between book and tax amounts which is currently recorded as current tax liabilities but will result in deferred tax liabilities upon contribution.

Our tax rate increased from (21.2)% in 2003 to 17.2% in 2004 due primarily to adjustments in 2003 associated with the REIT conversion. Without the adjustments due to the REIT conversion in 2003, the tax rate for 2003 would have been 40.2%. Comparing the overall tax rate prior to REIT conversion adjustments in 2003 to the overall tax rate in 2004, the overall rate decreased from 40.2% to 17.2%. This is a result of the tax benefit of operating as a REIT since REIT income (with certain exceptions) is not subject to Federal income taxation as long as the corporation distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements. Approximately $32.8 million of the income tax expense in the current year was generated from our TRS which must pay corporate level taxes on property sales and other entity level activities. The remaining $3.0 million of income tax expense is incurred at the REIT level and relates primarily to state taxes. The calculation of taxes due involves the use of many estimates that are not finalized and adjusted until our 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. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to 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

 

    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 ten unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, of which six joint ventures are in our Core Segment and the other four 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 six are involved in real estate development for investment or sale. We use the equity method of accounting for nine of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and the cost method of accounting for one unconsolidated joint venture.

 

In 2004, we sold our investment interest in two of our URO Segment development joint ventures and one of our Core Segment development joint ventures (see Note 5 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

We are required to make additional capital contributions to four 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 to two of the 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 $52 million, of which we have cumulatively contributed $44.9 million. One of the joint ventures has substantially wound up operations and we do not expect to make any future capital contributions. As of December 31, 2004, we do not expect to fund any additional capital contributions beyond our maximum capital requirements to the other joint venture.

 

36


    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 December 31, 2004, we have cumulatively contributed $53.3 million to these unconsolidated joint ventures, including $22.0 million as additional contributions. As of December 31, 2004, we are expecting to make additional contributions to SAMS Venture, LLC.

 

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

 

Unconsolidated real estate joint ventures- debt and debt service guarantees

 

We have made certain debt service guarantees for one of our unconsolidated URO Segment development joint ventures. At December 31, 2004, based on the joint venture’s outstanding debt balance, these debt service guarantees totaled $0.5 million. 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. Our guarantee exposure is generally limited to situations in which the value of the collateral is not sufficient to satisfy the outstanding indebtedness. At December 31, 2004, we have not been required to satisfy any amounts pursuant to these debt and debt service guarantee.

 

Standby letters of credit and commitments

 

As of December 31, 2004, we have $124.5 million in outstanding standby letters of credit in favor of local municipalities or financial institutions, commitments to guarantee leases, and the construction of real property improvements or financial obligations. The standby letters of credit are renewable and expire upon completion of the required improvements, and 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 December 31, 2004, we have open construction and development contracts with vendors totaling $108.3 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 December 31, 2004, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

In connection with the sale of a significant portion of our remaining urban and residential development assets to Farallon, an affiliate of Farallon Capital Management LLC (see Note 14), we have agreed to provide up to $164 million in debt financing on certain sales totaling $222 million of Farallon’s assets. Substantial portion of the money required to fund the $164 million financing will come from pay downs under the loans to Farallon.

Cash flows from operating activities

 

Cash provided by operating activities reflected in the statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, was $376.4 million, $207.9 million, and $187.1 million, respectively.

 

The increase of $168.5 million in 2004 was primarily attributed to the following: (1) an increase of $134.5 million due to higher cash proceeds from development sales of which our cost of sales was approximately $356.4 million; (2) an increase of $26.9 million due to lower capital expenditures on our development properties; (3) an increase of $19.8 million due to higher distributions from our joint ventures; (4) an increase of $5.3 million due to higher payments received from our notes receivable; (5) and an increase of $1.4 million due to lower interest paid partially offset by (6) a decrease of $2.9 million due to higher income tax paid.

 

The increase of $20.8 million from 2002 to 2003 was primarily attributable to the following: (1) an increase of $71.2 million due to the sale of our interest in an unconsolidated joint venture in 2003, which resulted in a change in our operating assets; (2) a net increase of $12.1 million, resulted from lower payments made for construction costs in 2003; (3) an increase of $18.5 million due to lower prepayment of various expenses in 2003; and (4) an increase of $4.6 million due to higher reimbursements for reimbursable construction costs in 2003 partially offset by (5) a decrease of $31.2 million in distributions from our residential joint ventures due to lower sales activity in 2003; (6) a decrease of $39.6 million from higher income tax paid due to higher estimated taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2003; and (7) a decrease of $23.6 million due to higher payments received from our notes receivable in 2002.

 

Cash flows from investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities reflected in the statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, was $136.0 million, $250.5 million, and $333.3 million, respectively.

 

The decrease in use of $114.5 million in 2004 as compared to 2003 was attributed to the following: (1) $63.6 million due to lower investing property acquisitions because of the acquisition of a 10% minority interest of a consolidated subsidiary in 2003; (2) $63.1 million due to lower investment in short-term investments and restricted cash; (3) $25.8 million due to higher proceeds from the sale of investment properties; (4) $17.0 million due to lower reimbursable predevelopment net costs incurred; (5) $3.2 million due to lower capital contributions

 

38


made to our unconsolidated joint ventures; (6) and $3.1 million due to lower costs incurred for tenant improvements partially offset by (7) $52.7 million due to higher capital expenditures for investment properties and (8) $8.6 million due to lower distributions from an unconsolidated joint venture.

 

The decrease in use of $82.8 million in 2003 was attributed to the following: (1) $81 million due to lower capital expenditures for investment properties in 2003; (2) $43.8 million due to lower reimbursable predevelopment and infrastructure costs incurred in 2003 at Mission Bay and Pacific Commons; (3) $10.8 million due to lower capital contributions made to our unconsolidated joint ventures in 2003; (4) $8.6 million due to higher distributions from an unconsolidated joint venture; (5) $7.8 million due to higher proceeds from the sale of investment properties; (6) $1.2 million due to lower costs incurred for tenant improvements; and (7) $1 million due to lower investment in short-term investments and restricted cash partially offset by (8) $71.4 million due to higher property acquisitions primarily for the acquisition of a 10% minority interest of a consolidated subsidiary in January 2003.

Capital expenditures for development properties—This item relates to the development of our for-sale development properties. The decrease in 2004 is primarily due to our projects at Mission Bay, San Francisco, California; Fremont, California; and Gresham, Oregon were completed and sold. The increase in 2003 is primarily because of the new construction that we started in Fremont, California during 2003 and construction in Fontana, California and Gresham, Oregon in late 2002.

 

Capital expenditures for investment properties—This item relates primarily to development of new properties held for lease. This development activity is summarized below (in square feet):

Predevelopment—Predevelopment costs from our operating and investing activities relate to amounts incurred for our development projects, primarily the Pacific Commons project in Fremont, California; the Mission Bay project in San Francisco, California; the Alameda project in Alameda, California; the Santa Fe Depot project in San Diego, California; the Robert Mueller Airport project in Austin, Texas; the Vista Range project in Commerce City, Colorado; the West Bluffs project in Playa Del Rey, California; and various other projects in the predevelopment stage. Predevelopment costs were higher during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the years ended 2003 and 2004 because of higher predevelopment activities in our development projects at Mission Bay in San Francisco, California; Commerce City, Colorado; and Playa Del Rey, California. During the fourth quarter of 2004, we sold a majority of our Mission Bay project in San Francisco, California; Alameda project in Alameda, California; and West Bluffs project in Playa Del Rey, California to an affiliate of Farallon Capital Management, LLC (see Note 5 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements). Therefore, we expect our predevelopment costs for 2005 to be lower than prior years and to be substantially in investing activities.

 

Infrastructure and other—Infrastructure and other costs from our operating and investing activities primarily relate to the projects at Pacific Commons in Fremont, California; Alameda, California; Mission Bay in San Francisco, California; Los Angeles Union Station in Los Angeles, California; West Bluffs in Playa Del Rey, California; Robert Mueller Airport in Austin, Texas; Santa Fe Depot in San Diego, California; Carteret, New Jersey; Woodbridge, New Jersey; Fontana, California; Hercules, California; and Minooka, Illinois. We attribute the increase in infrastructure and other costs in 2004 to the greater number of projects in the infrastructure stage as compared to the same period in 2003 and 2002. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we sold a majority of our Mission Bay project in San Francisco, California; Alameda project in Alameda, California; and West Bluffs project in Playa Del Rey, California to an affiliate of Farallon Capital Management, LLC (see Note 5 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements). Therefore, we expect our infrastructure and other costs for 2005 to be lower than 2004.

Operating activity property acquisitions—For the year ended December 31, 2004, we invested approximately $9.7 million for the acquisitions of 20.7 acres of land in Alameda, California and 7.0 acres of land in Glenview, Illinois. The acquisition in Alameda, California was sold during the fourth quarter of 2004 as part of the sale transaction to an affiliate of Farallon Capital Management, LLC (see Note 5 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements). The acquisition of land in Glenview, Illinois was sold during 2004 for a gain of $1.3 million.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003, we did not acquire any properties for Operating Activity.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2002, we invested approximately $7.1 million for the acquisition of land capable of supporting an estimated 2,149 residential units, which was sold in 2003 for a gain of $11.7 million and $0.7 million for acquisition of land to be sold.

 

Investing activity property acquisitions—For the year ended December 31, 2004, we invested approximately $32.4 million in investing activity property acquisitions: $29.9 million for the acquisition of commercial land, which added 5.8 million square feet of potential development and $1.2 million was for an acquisition of approximately 40,000 square feet of leasehold improvements in a retail space.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003, we invested approximately $96.4 million in investing activity property acquisitions: $35.2 million for the acquisition of commercial land, which added 10.5 million square feet of potential development; $60.7 million for the acquisition of a 10% minority interest in a consolidated subsidiary; and $0.5 million for the acquisition of furniture, fixtures, and equipment.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2002, we invested approximately $34.1 million in investing activity property acquisitions: $16.4 million for the acquisition of commercial buildings, which added approximately 488,000 square feet to our rental portfolio; $8 million for the acquisition of commercial land, which added 3 million square feet of potential development; and $9.7 million for the acquisition of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, primarily consisting of a corporate aircraft.

 

Cash flows from financing activities

 

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities reflected in the statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, was ($34.3) million, ($186.3) million, and $198.4 million, respectively.

 

The decrease of $152.0 million in net cash used in 2004 was attributed to the following: (1) $182.6 million due to higher net borrowings in 2004; (2) a decrease of $100.3 million due to the one-time E&P distribution in 2003 associated with the REIT conversion; and (3) a decrease of $4.6 million due to distributions to minority partners in 2003 partially offset by (4) an increase of $83.5 due to higher dividends paid in 2004 and (5) an increase of $51.9 million due to lower proceeds from the issuance of common stock attributable to the exercise of stock options.

 

The increase of $384.7 million in net cash used in 2003 was attributed to the following: (1) an increase of $306.7 million due to higher net borrowings in 2002 to finance our building portfolio and (2) an increase of $127.9 million due to the E&P and dividend distribution as a result of our REIT conversion partially offset by (3) a decrease of $49.9 million due to higher proceeds from the issuance of common stock attributable to the exercise of stock options.

 

Reimbursable predevelopment and infrastructure costs

 

In 2004, we incurred approximately $23.1 million of reimbursable predevelopment and infrastructure costs. These costs will be reimbursed from future bonds issuance because our cumulative costs incurred at December 31, 2004 have exceeded the net proceeds from bonds previously issued. For the years ended

 

41


December 31, 2003, and 2002, approximately $61.9 million and $97.0 million, respectively, of total predevelopment and infrastructure costs incurred are reimbursable, pursuant to various Community Facility District (“CFD”) bonds issued in 2002 and 2001, various assessment district bonds, and third parties.

 

In 2004, approximately $6.4 million was reimbursed, of which approximately $5.3 million was from bonds and approximately $1.1 million was from third parties. In 2003, approximately $49.3 million was reimbursed, of which approximately $41.2 million was from bonds and approximately $8.1 million was from third parties. During 2002, approximately $44.7 million was reimbursed, of which $42.8 million was from bonds and $1.9 million was from third parties.

 

As a result of our sale to an affiliate of Farallon Capital Management, LLC, the remaining balance of approximately $36.9 million of reimbursable predevelopment and infrastructure costs associated with the Mission Bay projects in San Francisco, California was expensed as part of costs of sale (see Note 5 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

REIT-related distribution and quarterly dividends

 

On December 3, 2003, our Board of Directors 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 of Directors 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 of Directors 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.

 

On September 9, 2004, our Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ending September 30, 2004, of $0.27 per share of common stock that was paid on October 15, 2004, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 27, 2004.

 

On December 1, 2004, our Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ending December 31, 2004, of $0.27 per share of common stock that was paid on January 18, 2005, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 28, 2004. In addition to our regular cash dividend, our Board of Directors also declared a special cash dividend of $0.45 per share of common stock that was paid on January 18, 2005, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 28, 2004 in connection with the sale of Non-Core assets and other taxable REIT subsidiary activities.

 

On February 16, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ending March 31, 2005, of $0.27 per share of common stock payable on April 15, 2005, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 29, 2005.

 

Cash balances, available borrowings, and capital resources

 

As of December 31, 2004, we had total cash of $281.6 million, of which $29.6 million is restricted cash. In addition to the $281.6 million cash balance, we had $40.7 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

 

42


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 $200 million revolving credit agreement and two other credit agreements, totaling $70.5 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 December 31, 2004 the actual results were 1.87 to 1; 0.55 to 1; 0.38 to 1; and $743.6 million, respectively. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base consisting of various categories of assets. At December 31, 2004, we had unused availability of $40.7 million under the line. 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.

 

Our $200 million revolving credit agreement also includes a covenant restricting dividends, subject to certain exceptions, in any fiscal year to the greater of (i) 95% of Funds From Operations or (ii) such amount necessary for the REIT Guarantor to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. For the period ending December 31, 2004, our total dividend distributions were $157.8 million as compared to the maximum amount permitted under the covenant of $211.3 million.

 

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 15 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements). These bonds are recorded and presented as part of “Mortgage and other debt” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004 (see Note 3 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements). Certain infrastructure costs incurred are reimbursable from these bonds. As of December 31, 2004, we have essentially been reimbursed for all the infrastructure costs incurred thus far.

 

The following table presents a summary of assessment district bonds that are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004 (in thousands except percentages):

Community Facility District Bonds—These bonds were issued to finance public infrastructure improvements at Pacific Commons in Fremont, California and were not required to be recorded in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. These bonds have a series of maturities up to thirty years. Upon completion of the infrastructure improvements, for which $30 million bonds were issued, the improvements will be transferred to the city. Of the total cumulative reimbursable cost incurred, approximately $11.7 million has been reimbursed as of December 31, 2004, of which approximately $2.5 million was received in 2004. The remaining balance of $13.8 million is presented in “Other assets and deferred charges, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004. The $13.8 million has not been applied for reimbursements until the facility components are completed, inspected, and approved by the city. Additional bonds are expected to be issued.

 

At Pacific Commons, developed and designated developed property is taxed first, and any shortfall in annual debt service is paid by a tax on project vacant land.

 

Prior to our sale of the Mission Bay projects to an affiliate of Farallon Capital Management, LLC, we had certain obligations under the $133.3 million of community facility district bonds issued to finance public infrastructure improvements at Mission Bay in San Francisco, California. But due to the sale, all obligations under these bonds were transferred to the affiliate of Farallon Capital Management, LLC. As a result, we cannot receive any reimbursements from these bond proceeds for the reimbursable predevelopment and infrastructure costs associated with the Mission Bay projects that were incurred prior to the sale. Therefore, the remaining balance of approximately $36.9 million of reimbursable predevelopment and infrastructure costs were expensed as part of costs of sale (see Note 5 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

Tax Audit

 

State Tax Audit

 

In 2002, the State of California Franchise Tax Board (“FTB”) began auditing two of CDC’s joint ventures. The auditor of one of the joint ventures, a master development project, has notified us verbally that no adjustments will be proposed. However, no formal notice from the FTB has been received. The audit regarding the other joint venture relates to our redemption in 1999 of our interest in a real estate partnership formed by our predecessor railroad company. In March 2004 we were verbally notified that an audit adjustment was forthcoming, however, under California law (which differs from federal tax law) the tax in question was only deferred and was paid in 2003 as part of our REIT conversion. We made the FTB aware of that fact, and although we have not yet received a written audit adjustment, we were again informed in January 2005 by the FTB that an adjustment was forthcoming.

 

In 2002, the FTB notified CDC that it would audit the corporate tax returns of CDC for the years 1999 and 2000. In June of 2004, the FTB notified us that they would also audit the 1999 and 2000 tax returns of a mortgage REIT subsidiary. Both audits are in process. No significant audit adjustments have been proposed on either of these audits.

 

IRS Audit

 

In March 2003 we received notice that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) intended to audit the 1999 tax returns of Catellus and a mortgage REIT subsidiary. In the third quarter of 2003, the IRS informed us it would also audit the 2000 returns as well as the returns relating to the real estate joint venture under audit by the FTB. In the third quarter of 2004, we were notified the IRS would audit the 2001 and 2002 returns. In December 2004, the IRS issued requests for information relating to our tax deferred exchanges for the years 1999-2002. In February 2005, we were told of the IRS intention to request an extension of these open tax years from September 2005 to September 2006. We have granted that request.

 

44


No audit adjustments have been proposed. The IRS has asked for all documents relating to the following issues:

 

1. Charitable contributions deductions for the transfer of certain properties where the appraised fair market value was in excess of the consideration received,

 

2. Tax treatment of the deductions of interest paid to a mortgage REIT subsidiary,

 

3. A redemption of our interest in a real estate partnership, and

 

4. Tax deferred exchanges of real property.

 

All but the first issue above resulted in a substantial portion of the deferred taxes created during the time we operated as a taxable C-corporation. At the time of our REIT conversion, as we expected to no longer be taxed at the REIT level for REIT operations, we reversed approximately $232 million in deferred taxes into income at year end 2003. At the same time, in part because of the ongoing audit described above, we took a charge to current taxes which totals $124 million of the $232 million. The $124 million charge to current taxes relates to the federal and state tax impact of certain of the above issues (see Footnote 2, Critical Accounting Policies—Income taxes; Footnote 4, Income Taxes; and Footnote 7, Other Financial Statement Captions—Tax Accrual). The amounts above do not include any provision for possible interest and penalties.

 

If the audit results in an adjustment and if the Company exhausts all available remedies to contest the adjustment (or decides not to contest such adjustment), then our provision above may not be sufficient to cover the exposure and such adjustment could negatively 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 $5.0 million, $5.0 million, and $3.7 million in rental income and reimbursements from this ground lease for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2004, we sold our investment interest in Third and King Investors, LLC for a net realized loss of $5.6 million (see Note 5 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

We also provide development and management services and loan guarantees to several of our unconsolidated joint venture investments. Fees earned were $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, of which $1.6 million was from Bayport Alameda, LLC, $0.9 million was from Third and King Investors, LLC, $0.5 million was from SAMS Venture, LLC, $0.4 million was from Colorado International Center, and the remainder $0.1 million was from Bergstrom Business Partners, LP. Fees earned were $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, of which $4.9 million was from Third and King Investors, LLC, $1.7 million was from Traer Creek, LLC, and the remainder $0.4 million was from Serrano Associates, LLC, Talega Village, LLC, and Bergstrom Business Partners, LP. Fees earned were $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, of which $2.6 million was from Third and King Investors, LLC, $1.0 million was from Traer Creek, LLC, and the remainder $0.6 million was Talega Village, LLC, and Serrano Associates, LLC. At December 31, 2004, we have deferred fees from Serrano Associates, LLC and Bergstrom Business Partners, LP of $0.6 million that will be earned 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 at December 31, 2004, because we did not receive sufficient cash at the date of the transaction. Subsequently in January 2004, we recognized the gain upon the receipt of the full payment. During the fourth quarter of 2004, we sold our investment interest in Bayport Alameda Associates, LLC and Third and King Investors, LLC (see Note 5 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

45


We have a $4.6 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 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 $0.1 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002; 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 $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002. As of December 31, 2004, we recorded a $2.6 million receivable and a $1.1 million reserve associated with this lease. The venture’s current projection reflects approximately $0.2 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 December 31, 2004, we hold significant variable interests in three variable interest entities that do not qualify for consolidation under the provisions of FIN 46-R. Our significant variable interests are in the form of equity interests in two of our unconsolidated joint ventures and our participation in a master development agreement:

 

    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. No further contributions are required.

 

    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.

 

    A Catellus subsidiary entered into a master development agreement with the City of Austin, Texas in December 2004 to redevelop and market the property formerly known as the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport. Our exposure will increase should public financing and sales revenues be insufficient to meet current or projected financial requirements.

 

Our maximum exposure in the current financial statements as a result of our involvement with these variable interest entities is $9.3 million as of December 31, 2004.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity investments for goods or services. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or

 

46


annual reporting that begins after June 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS 123R in the time frame required and it is anticipated that we will elect the modified prospective application transition method without restatement of prior interim periods. The initial adoption of FAS 123R will not have a significant effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

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 15 of the accompanying 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.

Risks Related to Real Estate Investments

 

We depend on tenants to generate lease revenues.

 

We are subject to the risk that, upon the expiration of leases for space located in our properties, leases may not be renewed by existing tenants, the space may not be re-leased to new tenants or the terms of renewal or re-leasing (including the cost of required renovations or concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than current lease terms. A tenant may experience a downturn in its business which may cause the loss of the tenant or may weaken its financial condition, and result in the tenant’s failure to make rental payments when due, result in a reduction in percentage rent receivable with respect to retail tenants or require a restructuring that might reduce cash flow from the lease. In addition, a tenant of any of our properties may seek the protection of bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of such tenant’s lease and thereby cause a reduction in our available cash flow. Although we have not experienced material losses from tenant bankruptcies, no assurance can be given that tenants will not file for bankruptcy or similar protection in the future or, if any tenants file, that they will affirm their leases or continue to make rental payments in a timely manner.

 

Our real estate development strategies may not be successful.

 

Any of our existing or future development activities will entail certain risks, including:

 

    the expenditure of funds on and devotion of management’s time to projects which may not come to fruition;

 

    the risk that development or redevelopment costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project uneconomic, and risk of construction delays;

 

    the risk that occupancy rates and rents at a completed project will be less than anticipated or that there will be vacant space at the project;

 

    the risk that expenses at a completed development will be higher than anticipated; and

 

    the risk that permits and other governmental approvals will not be obtained, the design or construction of infrastructure improvements will not be accepted by governmental authorities, or disputes or delays may result in connection with the payment of bond reimbursements for infrastructure costs. Because of the discretionary nature of these approvals and concerns which may be raised by various governmental officials, public interest groups and other interested parties during both the approval and development process, our ability to develop properties and realize income from our projects could be delayed, reduced or eliminated.

 

In addition, our real estate development activities require significant capital expenditures. We incur considerable infrastructure costs in connection with our commercial, urban, and residential projects. We will be required to obtain funds for our capital expenditures and operating activities through cash flow from operations, property sales or financings. There can be no assurances that funds available from cash flow, property sales and financings will be sufficient to fund our required or desired capital expenditures for development. If we were unable to obtain sufficient funds, we might have to defer or otherwise limit certain development activities. In addition, any new development or any rehabilitation of older projects can require compliance with new building codes and other regulations.

 

48


General economic conditions in the areas in which our properties are geographically concentrated may impact financial results.

 

We currently conduct the majority of our business in California. Consequently, we are exposed to changes in the real estate market or in general economic conditions in California. Any changes may result in higher vacancy rates for commercial property and lower prevailing rents, lower sales prices or slower sales, lower absorption rates, and more tenant defaults and bankruptcies, which would negatively impact our financial performance.

 

We have significant holdings in California, Illinois, Texas, Colorado and Arizona. Of our primary rental properties, which are comprised of commercial buildings, approximately 36.8%, by square footage, are located in Southern California, 15.8% in Northern California, 17.2% in Illinois, 10.2% in Texas, 6.8% in Colorado, 3.0% in Arizona, 2.4% in Ohio, 2.4% in Georgia; with the remaining 5.4% in five other states. Further, approximately 26.5% of our total commercial developable land by square footage is located in California: Fremont, San Francisco’s East Bay, Los Angeles County, Orange County, and the Inland Empire (San Bernardino and Riverside counties), approximately 23.3% in Illinois; approximately 15% in Texas; with the remaining 35.2% in six other states. To the extent that weak economic conditions or other factors affect these regions more severely than other areas of the country, our financial performance could be negatively impacted.

 

Exposure of our assets to damage from natural occurrences such as earthquakes, and weather conditions that affect the progress of construction may impact financial results.

 

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods or fires, or unexpected climactic conditions, such as unusually heavy or prolonged rain, particularly in California, where our assets are concentrated, may have an adverse impact on our ability to develop our properties and realize income from our projects.

 

Illiquidity of real estate and reinvestment risk may reduce economic returns to investors.

 

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and, therefore, our ability to vary our portfolio quickly in response to changes in economic or other conditions is limited. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Code places certain limits on the number of properties a REIT may sell without adverse tax consequences. Further, certain significant expenditures, including property taxes, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, insurance costs and related charges must be made throughout the period of ownership of real property regardless of whether the real property is producing any income.

 

Other Risks Affecting Our Business and Operations

 

Our use of taxable REIT subsidiaries is limited.

 

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2000, a REIT is permitted to own one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. The introduction of taxable REIT subsidiaries broadens the scope of activities in which a REIT and its consolidated subsidiaries can engage without disqualifying the REIT because income from a taxable REIT subsidiary is not treated as impermissible income. Our use of taxable REIT subsidiaries enable us to engage in the development of land for sale to third parties. However, under the Internal Revenue Code, no more than 20% of the value of the assets of a REIT may be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. This limitation may affect our ability to add to our land inventory or to increase the size of our third party development operations.

 

Our use of taxable REIT subsidiaries may affect the price of Catellus common stock relative to the stock price of other REITs.

 

In connection with commencing operations as a REIT, effective January 1, 2004, we began holding a significant portion of our land assets, and conducting a substantial portion of our development activities, through one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. Taxable REIT subsidiaries are corporations subject to corporate-level tax.

 

49


Prior to 2001, the Internal Revenue Code substantially limited a REIT’s ability to operate through corporate subsidiaries. However, recent changes to the REIT rules allow us to hold the land that we develop for sale to third parties, including urban and residential land, as well as residential and mixed-use development joint ventures, in one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. This REIT/taxable REIT subsidiary structure may cause the market to value our common stock differently from the stock of other publicly traded REITs, which may not use taxable REIT subsidiaries as extensively as we do.

 

We are dependent on external sources of capital and have substantial amounts of debt.

 

To qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we generally are required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our net taxable income determined without regard to net capital gains and the dividends paid deduction. We may be required to borrow funds on a short-term basis or liquidate investments to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to qualify as a REIT, even if management believes that it is not in our best interests to do so.

 

We may have to rely on third party sources of capital in order to repay our debt, fund capital expenditures, make acquisitions, and otherwise pursue our strategic objectives. These external sources of capital may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third party sources of capital depends upon a number of factors, including general market conditions, the market’s perception of our growth potential and risk characteristics of our underlying business operations, our current and potential future earnings and cash flow and the market price of our securities. Moreover, additional equity offerings may result in the substantial dilution of our stockholders’ interests and additional debt financing may further leverage us. In the event we are unable to access third party sources of capital on terms favorable to us, we may be delayed in implementing capital improvements or in pursuing our growth strategy which could reduce our revenue or operating income.

 

As of December 31, 2004, we had approximately $1.4 billion of debt. This amount of debt could have important consequences for our investors and for us, some of which include:

 

    our ability to obtain additional financing may be impaired, both currently and in the future;

 

    a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on this indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available for other purposes;

 

    our cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal, interest or future dividends;

 

    we may be substantially more leveraged than our competitors, putting us at a competitive disadvantage; and

 

    our flexibility to adjust to market conditions is limited, leaving us vulnerable in a downturn in general economic conditions or in our business.

 

Our current indebtedness bears interest at both fixed and floating interest rates. For future financings, we intend to seek the most attractive financing arrangements available at the time, which may involve either fixed or floating interest rates. With respect to floating rate indebtedness, increases in interest rates may adversely affect our cash flow from operations, funds available for distribution, and ability to meet our debt service obligations.

 

Competition and challenges in the real estate industry.

 

The real estate industry is generally fragmented and characterized by significant competition. Numerous developers, owners of industrial, office and retail properties and managers compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition, development and management opportunities, tenants, and purchasers for homes and for non-strategic assets. There are competitors, such as other REITs, as well as private real estate companies and financial buyers in each area in which we operate, which have greater capital resources than we do. These competitive disadvantages, the number of competitors and the number of competitive commercial properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on the rents we can charge, our ability to lease space in our existing

 

50


properties or at newly acquired or developed properties and the prices we have to pay for developable land. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the existence of such competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and cash flow.

 

In addition, we may have difficulty in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions on advantageous terms, and acquisitions may not perform as we expect. We may also fail to divest of properties on advantageous terms or to timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestiture.

 

There is no limitation on debt in our organizational documents.

 

Our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount or percentage of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our ability to make expected distributions to stockholders and in an increased risk of default on our obligations.

 

We may change our policies in ways that negatively affect our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Our investment and financing policies and our policies with respect to other activities, including our growth, debt capitalization, distributions, REIT status and operating policies are determined by our board of directors. Our board of directors may change these policies at any time without a vote of our stockholders. A change in these policies might adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

 

We are dependent on key personnel.

 

We depend on the efforts of our executive officers and other key personnel. While we believe that we could find replacements for these key personnel, the loss of their services could have a significant adverse effect on our operations.

 

Labor shortages and costs could impact our projects.

 

Labor shortages and costs could significantly influence the success of projects.

 

Possible environmental liabilities could adversely affect us.

 

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in that real property. These laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. Because we own (or our corporate predecessors owned) properties in urban and industrial areas, and have historically leased many of our properties to commercial and industrial tenants whose activities may have resulted in discharges onto such properties, we incur ongoing environmental remediation costs and are subject from time to time to environmental actions by governmental entities and private parties. While we or outside consultants have evaluated the environmental liabilities associated with most of our properties, any evaluation is necessarily based upon then prevailing law, site conditions and the use of sampling methodologies and involves uncertainties.

 

The costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances may be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remedy environmental hazards properly, may adversely affect the owner’s or operator’s ability to sell or rent affected real property or to borrow money using affected real property as collateral. 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 our potential liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from insurance.

 

51


At December 31, 2004, we estimate that future costs for remediation of environmental contamination on operating properties and properties previously sold approximate $2.3 million, and have provided a reserve for that amount. It is anticipated that such costs will be incurred over the next several years. We also estimate approximately $8.6 million of similar costs relating to our properties to be developed or sold. Catellus is currently under investigation by the Department of Toxics and Substance Control of the State of California concerning the Mission Bay Project. The investigation was initiated primarily for purposes of determining whether individuals and companies hauling soil within and from Mission Bay satisfied certain hazardous waste license/certification hauling requirements. Catellus 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. See Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings.”

 

Uninsured losses could negatively affect our financial condition.

 

We typically purchase commercial general liability, “all-risk” property and rental loss insurance for our properties and development projects, with limits customarily carried for similar properties. Some types of losses, such as losses from earthquakes, environmental hazards or toxic mold may be either uninsurable or too expensive to justify insuring against. In renewing our policies over the last several years, we were able to essentially obtain all of our historical levels and types of insurance (although at a higher cost and, in certain instances, with higher deductibles and/or more restrictive conditions), except liability coverage for our residential business, which now has a higher deductible and a much lower policy limit. We have purchased terrorism insurance to cover the rental portfolio and declared development projects, at limits consistent with other similar properties and projects, effective until the annual policy expiration on October 1, 2005. Terrorism coverage is purchased through private carriers backstopped by the United States government’s Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002. Specific coverages, including general liability, property, builder’s risk and terrorism, may be purchased on a project-specific basis for projects or properties as necessary. There can be no assurance that significant losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur. Also, we and our predecessors have owned some of the properties in our portfolio for many years and acquired properties in a variety of ways, including by railroad land grants. We have not obtained title insurance on all of the properties in our portfolio, and some properties may be subject to limitations on or challenges to our title.

 

If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, Catellus Operating Limited Partnership could lose its capital invested in the property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. An uninsured loss or loss in excess of insured limits may negatively impact our financial condition. As the general partner of Catellus Operating Limited Partnership, Catellus is generally liable for any of the partnership’s unsatisfied obligations other than non-recourse obligations.

 

The costs of compliance with regulatory requirements could adversely affect our business.

 

Our facilities are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and state and local fire and life safety requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in the imposition of fines by governmental authorities or awards of damages to private litigants. We believe that our facilities are currently in material compliance with such regulatory requirements. However, there can be no assurance that these requirements will not be changed or that new requirements will not be imposed, a result that could require significant unanticipated expenditures by us and could have an adverse effect on our cash flow.

 

We face risks due to our investments through partnerships or joint ventures.

 

Instead of purchasing properties directly, we have and may continue to invest as a co-venturer. Joint venturers often have shared control over the operation of the joint venture assets. Therefore, these investments may, under certain circumstances, involve risks such as the possibility that the co-venturer in an investment might become bankrupt, or have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business

 

52


interests or goals, or be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or our policies or objectives. Consequently, actions by a co-venturer might result in subjecting properties owned by the joint venture to additional risk. Although we generally will seek to maintain sufficient control of any joint venture to permit our objectives to be achieved, we may be unable to take action without the approval of our joint venture partners or our joint venture partners could take actions binding on the joint venture without our consent. Additionally, should a joint venture partner become bankrupt, we could become liable for that partner’s share of joint venture liabilities.

 

The supply and price of electrical power could affect our rental and sales activities.

 

Shortages in and higher prices for electrical power could negatively affect our ability to rent or sell properties.

 

An ownership limit and certain anti-takeover defenses could inhibit a change of control of our Company or reduce the value of our stock.

 

The amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation of Catellus and its amended and restated Bylaws contain provisions which may have an anti-takeover effect. The following provisions of these governing documents could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of our Company, including certain acquisitions that stockholders may deem to be in their best interests:

 

    the amended and restated Bylaws do not permit stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders;

 

    the amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation contains restrictions on the number of shares that may be owned by any stockholder;

 

    the amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation permits the issuance of one or more series of a new class of preferred stock with rights and preferences to be determined by the board of directors;

 

    the amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation restricts certain business combinations with interested stockholders; and

 

    the amended and restated Bylaws require advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

 

Federal Income Tax Risks Relating to REIT Qualification

 

If we fail to qualify as a REIT or fail to remain qualified as a REIT, we will have reduced funds available for distribution to our stockholders and our income will be subject to taxation at regular corporate rates.

 

We began operating as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code commencing January 1, 2004. As a REIT, we generally will not pay corporate level tax on income we currently distribute to our stockholders as long as we distribute currently at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gain). We cannot assure you, however, that we will so qualify or be able to remain so qualified or that new legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to our qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The complexity of these provisions and of the applicable income tax regulations is greater in the case of a REIT such as ours that holds its assets in partnership form. Further, the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT.

 

If in any taxable year we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would suffer the following negative results:

 

    we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income; and

 

    we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates.

 

53


In addition, we would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the qualification was lost, unless we were entitled to relief under statutory provisions.

 

There are uncertainties relating to the estimate of our “earnings and profits” attributable to C-corporation taxable years.

 

In order to qualify as a REIT, we cannot have at the end of any REIT taxable year any undistributed earnings and profits that are attributable to a C-corporation taxable year. A REIT has until the close of its first full taxable year as a REIT in which it has non-REIT earnings and profits to distribute these accumulated earnings and profits. Because our first full taxable year as a REIT was 2004, we were required to distribute these earnings and profits prior to the end of 2004. Failure to meet this requirement would result in our disqualification as a REIT. We distributed our accumulated non-REIT earnings and profits in December 2003, well in advance of the 2004 year-end deadline, and we believe that such distribution was sufficient to distribute all of such earnings and profits. However, the determination of such earnings and profits is complicated and depends upon facts with respect to which we may have less than complete information or the application of the law governing earnings and profits which is subject to differing interpretations, or both. Consequently, there are substantial uncertainties relating to the estimate of our non-REIT earnings and profits and, thus, we cannot assure you that the earnings and profits distribution requirement has been met. These uncertainties include the possibility that the Internal Revenue Service could upon audit increase the taxable income of Catellus, which would increase the non-REIT earnings and profits of Catellus. In this regard, we have received notice from the Internal Revenue Service of its intent to audit the 1999 through 2003 income tax returns of Catellus, including certain subsidiaries and partnerships. These audits are now under way (for a more detailed discussion of the tax audit, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Tax Audit in this Form 10-K). Tax counsel have not provided any opinion as to the amount of Catellus’ undistributed earnings and profits and have relied, for purposes of their opinion as to our qualification as a REIT, upon a representation from us that we would not have any undistributed non-REIT earnings and profits as of the close of our first taxable year as a REIT. Thus, we cannot assure you that we have satisfied the requirement that we distribute all of our non-REIT earnings and profits by the close of our first taxable year as a REIT.

 

There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with our determination of our non-REIT earnings and profits, and there are uncertainties regarding the amount of such earnings and profits.

 

Our third-party development business is potentially subject to prohibited transactions tax.

 

We currently conduct third party land sales as part of our third-party development business. As a REIT, we will be subject to a 100% tax on our net income from “prohibited transactions.” In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property to customers in the ordinary course of business. Sales by us of property in the course of our third-party development business will generally constitute prohibited transactions.

 

We intend to avoid the 100% prohibited transactions tax by conducting our third-party land sales through one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. We may not, however, always be able to identify properties that will become part of our third-party development business at the time we acquire such properties. Additionally, properties we initially acquire and hold for investment purposes may become third-party development properties as circumstances change. Therefore, we face the potential of being subject to the 100% prohibited transactions tax on the sale of properties acquired by us and not through a taxable REIT subsidiary which we incorrectly identify as property not held for sale to customers in the ordinary case of business or which subsequently becomes property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business.

 

There are potential deferred and contingent tax liabilities.

 

We will be subject to a federal corporate level tax at the highest regular corporate rate (currently 35%) on any gain recognized from a sale of any assets occurring within ten years of the REIT conversion which we hold at the effective time of our election to be a REIT but only to the extent of the built-in-gain based on the fair

 

54


market value of those assets on the effective date of the REIT election. Effective January 1, 2004, such tax will be based on the fair market value of our assets as of January 1, 2004. Gain from a sale of an asset occurring more than 10 years after the REIT conversion will not be subject to this corporate-level tax. We currently do not expect to sell any asset if such a sale would result in the imposition of a material tax liability. We cannot, however, assure you that we will not change our plans in this regard.

 

We intend to conduct a substantial portion of our development business, consisting of our third-party development business, through one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. Taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to regular corporate-level tax, and cannot avail themselves of the dividends paid deduction available to REITs. Consequently, income from our third-party development business, and any other income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries, will be subject to corporate-level tax.

 

Certain “deferred gains” on assets owned by us are subject to special gain recognition rules as the result of prior asset transfers between members of the Catellus consolidated group in pre-REIT years. The maximum “deferred gains” associated with these assets is estimated to be $41.4 million. Certain of these assets will be held by Catellus with the remainder held by Catellus Operating Limited Partnership. The special gain recognition rules require Catellus to include in taxable income the previously “deferred gain” on assets upon the occurrence of certain events. Such gains would be taxable, for example, if the assets were contributed to a taxable REIT subsidiary or sold, or if the Catellus Operating Limited Partnership admits a new partner and therefore becomes a separate entity for federal income tax purposes.

 

In addition, the Internal Revenue Service may assert liabilities against us for corporate income taxes for taxable years of Catellus prior to our qualification as a REIT, in which case we will owe such taxes plus interest and penalties, if any (for a more detailed discussion of the Tax Audit, see Tax Audit Section of the MD&A). Moreover, any increase in taxable income will result in an increase in accumulated earnings and profits which could either increase the taxable portion of the special earnings and profits distribution to our stockholders or cause us to pay an additional taxable distribution to our stockholders within 90 days of the relevant determination.

 

Item 7A.    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 December 31, 2004, we did not have any interest rate protection contracts outstanding.

 

As of December 31, 2004, approximately 77.4% of our debt bears interest at fixed rates and has a weighted average maturity of 5.6 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. Our variable rates debt has a weighted average maturity of 2.9 years and a weighted average coupon rate of 3.98%. 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 short-term effect would be an increase in interest expense and capitalized interest cost, which would have an impact on our cash position of approximately $0.5 million, based on the outstanding balance of our floating rate debt net of cash investments and restricted cash at December 31, 2004. We believe that moderate increases in interest expense will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

 

As of December 31, 2004, approximately $41.2 million of our $329.8 million of notes receivable carry interest at variable rates. If interest rates on these variable notes change 100 basis points (1%), the annual effect will be a change in our interest income of approximately $0.4 million. We believe that the moderate change in interest income will not materially affect our financial position, results of operation, or cash flow.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 were effective as of December 31, 2004.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). A system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2004.

 

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

 

No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Catellus Development Corporation

 

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

 

Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules

 

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

 

Internal control over financial reporting

 

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

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting

 

F-2


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

 

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

CATELLUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1.    Description of Business

 

Catellus Development Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Catellus” or the “Company”) owns and develops primarily industrial properties located in major markets in California, Illinois, Texas, Colorado, and Georgia, with recent expansion into 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 18). All references to Catellus or the Company mean the current Catellus or its predecessor, as the context requires.

 

Note 2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue recognition—Rental revenue, in general, is recognized when due from tenants; however, revenue from leases with rent concessions or fixed escalations is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Direct costs of negotiating and consummating a lease are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the related lease. Rental revenue is not accrued when a tenant vacates the premises and ceases to make rent payments or files for bankruptcy. The Company has various retail and ground leases that provide for rental revenues which are contingent upon the lessee’s operations. Contingent rental income on these leases is recognized when the specified target is achieved.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of properties using the accrual method. Sales not qualifying for full recognition at the time of sale are accounted for under other appropriate deferral methods, including the percentage-of-completion method. When the Company receives an inadequate cash down payment and takes a note for the balance, profit is deferred until such time as sufficient cash is received to meet minimum down payment requirements. In general, specific identification and relative sales value methods are used to determine the cost of sales. Generally, sales of rental property are classified as discontinued operations.

 

The Company recognizes management, development, and other fees as earned. Fees earned from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures are recognized to the extent of outside ownership with the Company’s share deferred. These deferred fees will be recognized when the assets or venture is either sold or liquidated, as appropriate.

 

The Company may receive fees from tenants as consideration for early termination of their lease agreement. These lease termination fees are amortized over the revised remaining lease term, if any. In conjunction with the receipt of lease termination fees, the Company performs a review of all lease related assets and liabilities to determine if impairment has occurred and whether or not the amortization period continues to be appropriate.

 

Property and deferred charges—Real estate is stated at cost 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; (b) for properties held for sale, a write-down to estimated fair value is recorded when the Company determines that the net book value exceeds the estimated selling price less costs to sell. Fair value is determined by a combination of expected cash flow and recent comparable sales and this evaluation is made by management on a property-by-property basis. Based upon the evaluation, an impairment charge of $4.3 million and $6.7 million was recognized in “Other expenses-Other” in 2004 and 2003, respectively, thus reducing the Company’s rental property basis by $2.9 million in 2004 and developable land basis by $1.4 million and $6.7 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The evaluation of future cash flows and fair value of individual properties requires significant judgment; it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate could occur as economic conditions change.

 

The Company capitalizes direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, property taxes, insurance, and certain indirect project costs, including a portion of general and administrative

 

F-8


CATELLUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

costs that are associated with the acquisition, development, or construction of a project. Interest costs incurred during construction/development periods to get the assets ready for their intended use are also capitalized. Costs associated with financing or leasing projects are also capitalized and amortized over the period benefited by those expenditures on a straight-line basis, which for deferred financing fees approximates the effective interest rate method.

 

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated using lives of between 20 and 40 years. Tenant improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the primary terms of the leases (generally 3-15 years) or the useful life of the improvement, while furniture and equipment are depreciated using lives ranging between 3 and 10 years.

 

Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred, while significant improvements, replacements, and major renovations are capitalized.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts—Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts totaling $1.8 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company provides for doubtful accounts based on several factors, including the Company’s estimate of collectability and the age of the outstanding balances.

 

Environmental costs—The Company incurs 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. Costs incurred in connection with operating properties and properties previously sold are expensed. Costs relating to undeveloped land are capitalized as part of development costs. Costs incurred for properties to be sold are deferred and charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold. The Company maintains a reserve for estimated costs of environmental remediation to be incurred in connection with operating properties and properties previously sold.

 

Income taxes—Beginning January 1, 2004, Catellus elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 and 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (see Note 18). A REIT generally does not incur federal taxes on its taxable income as long as it distributes 90% of its taxable income and meets various income, asset and ownership tests. As Catellus reorganized so that it operates as a REIT as of January 1, 2004 and intends to elect REIT status upon filing its 2004 tax return, the Company no longer will be taxed at the REIT level if 100% of taxable income is distributed. Accordingly, Catellus reversed the majority of its deferred taxes in the fourth quarter of 2003. Certain deferred taxes have been maintained including those relating to the Company’s Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRS”) and those related to built-in gains for properties included in the REIT. For the Company’s TRS, deferred taxes are recorded based on the future tax effects of the difference between the tax and financial reporting bases of their assets and liabilities. For properties transferred to the REIT, a deferred tax has been recorded for certain assets which the Company believes may be sold within ten years because of certain tenant options or the size and type of property. The deferred tax for built-in gains is computed as the difference between the book and tax basis of those properties which the Company believes will be difficult to transact as tax-free exchanges. In addition, where the Company has recognized a deduction for uncertain tax positions, no financial statement benefit is recorded until the tax impact is certain.

 

Principles of consolidation—The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and investees, which are controlled by the Company (i.e. ability to exercise control over the operations of an entity, including a board where a majority of the votes can be obtained by employees of the Company). Other investees are accounted for by using the equity method, including investees in which the Company has a majority interest, but the minority venture partner(s) has (have) substantive participating rights in the operations of the investee. Another investee, with whom the Company has

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

related party transactions, is accounted for under the cost method. In 1999, the Company formed a subsidiary REIT and sold 10% of this subsidiary’s stock to minority investors. In January 2003, the Company acquired the 10% interest of the minority investors for $60.7 million. The acquisition was accounted for based on the purchase method of accounting.

 

Partnership accounting—The Company accounts for unconsolidated partnerships or other investees who do not qualify as a variable interest equity (collectively referred to as unconsolidated joint ventures) under the equity method including investees in which the Company has a majority interest, but the minority venture partner(s) has (have) substantive participating rights in the operations of the investee. Earnings or losses of unconsolidated joint ventures are recognized to the extent of the Company’s ownership or participation interest. The Company does not recognize its share of losses generated by these investments in excess of its investment unless it is legally committed or intends to fund deficits in the future. The Company may provide fee services to joint ventures but will recognize revenues only to the extent of the outside partner’s ownership interest and will defer profits on its ownership interest until the joint venture is sold or liquidated. The Company accounts for a joint venture, with whom it has related party transitions, under the cost method (see Note 5, Joint Venture Investments).

 

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 December 31, 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 two of its unconsolidated joint ventures and its participation in a master development agreement:

 

    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. No further contributions are required.

 

    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.

 

    A Company subsidiary entered into a master development agreement with the City of Austin, Texas in December 2004 to redevelop and market the property formerly known as the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport. The Company’s exposure will increase should public financing and sales revenues be insufficient to meet current or projected financial requirements.

 

The Company’s maximum exposure in the current financial statements as a result of its involvement with these variable interest entities is $9.3 million as of December 31, 2004.

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less at time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Of the restricted cash and investments totaling $29.6 million and $64.6 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

$18.9 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 $10.0 million at December 31, 2004 represents funds in escrow for environmental work related to a land acquisition. Approximately $0.7 million and $23.1 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, represent funds held in pledge accounts at a bank until certain loan collateral pool requirements are met. These requirements relating to the December 31, 2003 funds were met in 2004 and the restricted cash of $23.1 million was released accordingly and was used to pay down debt. In addition, restricted investments of $3.4 million at December 31, 2003, represented certificates of deposit used to guarantee lease performance; this $3.4 million of restricted cash was released in 2004. The Company maintains cash balances with investment grade financial institutions which the Company believes will mitigate the risk of loss for amounts on deposit in excess of federally insured limits.

 

Interest rate protection contracts (“Treasury-lock contracts”)—The Company may enter into interest rate protection agreements from time to time to lock its interest rate when negotiating fixed rate financing agreements. Amounts paid or received would be capitalized and amortized as a component of interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the associated debt agreement.

 

Notes receivable—Notes receivable are carried at the principal balance, less estimated uncollectible amounts totaling $1.8 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003. Interest is recognized as earned; however, the Company discontinues accruing interest when collection is considered doubtful. The Company uses the effective interest method for notes with stepped interest rates or when loan origination fees are received. Notes are generally collateralized by real property or a financing agreement.

 

Financial instruments—The historical cost basis of the Company’s notes receivable is representative of fair value based on a comparison to year-end interest rates for receivables of comparable risks and maturities. Variable rate debt has carrying values which approximate estimated fair value while fixed rate mortgage loans have an estimated aggregate fair value of $1.13 billion and remaining principal of $1.08 billion based on a comparison to year-end interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, accounts receivables, accounts payables, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

 

Bond financings—Assessment bonds are usually issued by a municipality district or a tax incremental financing entity to finance costs of public infrastructure improvements. The Company records an obligation within mortgage and other debt if the assessment to be levied by the bond’s issuer is fixed and determinable, the assessment has been guaranteed by the Company or the Company controls the municipal board (see Notes 3 and 15). In all other cases, the Company records a receivable for the amount due from the municipality as it is incurred.

At December 31, 2003, 1,098,127 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the fair market value at date of grant was greater than the average annual market price of the Company’s common stock. There were no shares excluded at December 31, 2004.

 

Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year financial statement presentation.

 

Accounting for stock-based compensation

 

At December 31, 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, 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. Subsequently, as a result of a stock option exchange offer related to the REIT conversion, whereby unvested options became subject to variable accounting, compensation expense of $3.0 million and $2.0 million was recognized for the years

During 2004, two performance-based executive award plans were established 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”) each of which is deemed to represent one share of the Company’s common stock. Performance Units are entitled to dividend equivalents representing dividends on an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock. Dividend equivalents are credited to participants’ accounts as additional Performance Units. 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 as to certain participants, 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 (see Note 11).

 

The Company expenses dividends paid on unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units, Director Restricted Stock Units, and Director Stock Units (see Note 11).

 

New accounting standards

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity investments for goods or services. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS 123R in the time frame required and it is anticipated that the Company will elect the modified prospective application transition method without restatement of prior interim periods. The initial adoption of FAS 123R will not have a significant effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flow of the Company.

(a) The fixed rate mortgage loans consist of the following: a $340.4 million loan bearing interest at 6.01% (6.69% effective rate considering financing costs), with a 30-year amortization schedule and maturing in November 2008; a $74.0 million loan bearing interest at 5.96% (6.39% effective rate considering financing costs) with a 25-year amortization schedule and maturing in November 2008; a $254.6 million loan bearing interest of 7.05% (7.17% effective rate considering financing costs) with a 30-year amortization schedule and maturity in April 2012; a $192.3 million loan bearing interest at 7.25% (7.28% effective rate considering financing costs), with a 30-year amortization schedule and maturing in April 2016; a $136.6 million loan bearing interest at 6.65% (6.72% effective rate considering financing costs), maturing on various dates from October 2006 through July 2007; $70.3 million of loans bearing interest at 7.29% (7.44% effective rate considering financing costs), maturing on various dates from January 2008 through May 2010; and $16.1 million of other loans bearing interest at 8.13% to 9.5%, maturing on various dates from October 2006 through March 2009.

 

During 2004, the Company closed a $75.0 million fixed rate mortgage loan bearing interest at 5.96% (6.39% effective rate considering financing costs) with a 25-year amortization schedule and maturity in November 2008.

 

These fixed rate mortgage loans are collateralized by certain of the Company’s operating properties and by an assignment of rents generated by the underlying properties. These loans have penalties if paid prior to maturity.

 

(b) The Company’s floating rate mortgage loans are collateralized by operating properties and by an assignment of rents generated by the underlying properties.

 

(c) In 2004, the Company’s $50.0 million variable rate construction loan matured. The Company exercised its option to extend $30.0 million for one year and repaid $20.0 million with funds from the revolving credit facility. The entire loan was repaid in January 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The Company’s construction loan is used to finance development projects and is collateralized by the related land and improvements.

 

(d) During 2003, the Company closed a senior revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $200 million, of which $148 million was drawn at December 31, 2004. The facility matures in September 2006, unless extended an additional year at the Company’s election. The current interest rate is set at the Eurodollar rate (one month LIBOR) plus 2.0%. The Company has the right during the initial term of the facility to increase the facility amount up to an aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The Company may prepay the facility in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.

 

(e) Land acquisition and development loans are used to acquire land and/or finance related development and are collateralized by the related land.

 

(f) The assessment district bonds are issued through local municipalities to fund the construction of public infrastructure and improvements, which benefit the Company’s properties. Debt service on these bonds is either collateralized by certain of the Company’s properties or by letters of credit (see Note 15).

 

Three of the Company’s credit agreements, totaling $270.5 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 December 31, 2004, the actual results were 1.87 to 1; 0.55 to 1; 0.38 to 1; and $743.6 million, respectively. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base consisting of various categories of assets. At December 31, 2004, the Company had unused availability of $40.7 million under the line. The Company’s 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 the Company was to breach any of these covenants and was unable to negotiate satisfactory waivers or amendments, the Company’s lenders in these credit facilities could declare amounts outstanding due and payable.

 

The Company’s revolving credit facility includes a covenant restricting dividends, subject to certain exceptions, in any fiscal year to the greater of (i) 95% of Funds From Operations or (ii) such amount necessary for the REIT Guarantor to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. For the period ending December 31, 2004, the Company’s total dividend distributions were $157.8 million as compared to the maximum amount permitted under the covenant of $211.3 million.

Note 4.    Income Taxes

 

The Company was 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 stockholders 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 began operating so as to qualify as a REIT beginning January 1, 2004, and paid at least 90% of REIT taxable income to stockholders in 2004. Based on these considerations, the Company believes that it will not be liable for taxes (except with respect to the items discussed below) and, in 2003, reversed approximately $232 million of deferred tax liabilities.

 

In 2003, as part of restructuring operations to enable the Company to qualify as a REIT, subsidiaries were created (subject to certain size limitations) that qualify as 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. Also, a majority of the Company’s assets owned as of December 31, 2003, which were transferred into the REIT, 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 the Company’s assets subject to purchase options in the event the Company cannot effectuate a tax-free exchange. As a result of this future tax liability, the temporary differences between book and tax amounts for these assets will continue to be reflected as net deferred tax liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, the Company’s 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. In 2003, the Company has provided for a current tax liability, currently totaling approximately $124 million, related to certain transactions under audit where it has taken a tax benefit, but the tax impact is uncertain. 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 which is currently recorded as current tax liabilities but will result in deferred tax liabilities upon contribution.

 

To initially qualify as a REIT, among other things, the Company distributed all of the accumulated earnings and profits (“E&P”) to the Company’s stockholders in one or more taxable dividends. In order to meet the required distribution of accumulated E&P, the Company made a distribution of $128 million in cash and 10.7

 

F-16


CATELLUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

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 adjustments to prior years’ taxable income results in higher cumulative E&P, the Company will make an additional taxable distribution (in the form of cash and/or securities) at that time.

 

Income tax (expense) benefit for year ended December 31, 2004 was generated at both the REIT level and the TRS. The TRS income before income taxes was $88.3 million with an effective overall rate of 37.22%. The Company has accrued $2.4 million state taxes at the REIT level to reflect expected state tax liability resulting from projected taxable income in California in excess of federal taxable income that is not distributed to stockholders and therefore taxed in the REIT and $0.6 million of the taxes for other adjustments in the REIT.

 

Income tax (expense) benefit on consolidated income from continuing operations is as follows:

Certain net deferred tax liabilities have been eliminated (as the Company is no longer liable for certain taxes as a REIT), reclassified to other current liabilities, or paid as current taxes in 2003. Included in liabilities reclassified to current tax accrual are those associated with assets likely to be contributed to the TRS, items for which the Company had previously claimed a tax deduction for non-routine transactions but the tax impact is not certain, and taxable transactions in 2003 that had previously been recorded for book purposes in prior years. With regard to items where the tax impact is uncertain, the Company expects such uncertainties to be resolved upon completion of specific audits currently under way. A permanent income tax benefit of $0.3 million, $21.3 million, and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, associated with the exercise of stock options is credited directly to paid-in capital on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

(j) Bergstrom Partners, L.P. develops for sale 624 acres of mixed-use land in Austin, Texas, of which 416 acres were remaining at December 31, 2004.

 

In September 2003, the Company sold its interest in the Traer Creek LLC’s in exchange for a note receivable. A provision in the sales agreement allows for a discount on the purchase price of $1 million depending on the buyers timing of payment of the note. Thus the Company deferred a gain of $5.4 million at December 31, 2003, which was subsequently recognized in January 2004 upon the buyers full payment of the note.

 

In December 2003, the Company sold its investment interest in Talega Associates, LLC and recorded as “Sales revenue” $47.4 million with a net sales gain of $41.9 million on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in 2003.

 

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

 

In November 2004, the Company sold its investment interest in Bayport Alameda Associates, LLC and recorded as “Sales revenue” $49.8 million with a net sales gain of $14.4 million on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

In December 2004, the Company sold its investment interest in Third & King Investors, LLC and recorded a net sales loss of $5.6 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The loss was attributed to additional insurance costs, interest expense and additional construction expenditures which resulted from a delay in the closing of the sale.

 

The Company guarantees a portion of the debt and interest of certain of its joint ventures. At December 31, 2004, these guarantees totaled $0.5 million. In some cases, other parties have jointly and severally guaranteed these obligations, which are also collateralized by the related properties.

The Company’s proportionate share of venturers’ equity is an aggregate amount for all ventures. Because the Company’s ownership percentage differs from venture to venture, because there are varying distribution agreements, and because certain ventures have accumulated equity while others have accumulated deficits, the Company’s percentage of venturers’ equity is not reflective of the Company’s ownership percentage of the ventures. The Company does not recognize its share of losses generated by joint ventures in excess of its investment unless it is legally committed or intends to fund deficits in the future.

The Company has contributed appreciated property to certain of its joint venture investments. Although the properties are recorded by the venture at fair value on the date of contribution, the related gains have been deferred in the Company’s financial statements and will be recognized when the properties are sold by the joint ventures.

Note 11.    Employee Benefit and Stock-Based Compensation Plans

 

The Company has a profit sharing and savings plan for all employees. Funding consists of employee contributions along with matching and discretionary profit sharing contributions by the Company. Total expense for the Company under this plan was $0.9 million in 2004, $1.0 million in 2003, and $1.2 million in 2002.

 

The Company has various plans through which employees may purchase or receive common stock of the Company, and through which non-employee directors may purchase or receive common stock of the Company.

 

The Company has six stock-based compensation plans under which the Board of Directors authorized certain committees of the Board to grant options to purchase stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units (“RSUs”), or other stock-based awards, representing, in the aggregate, 16,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The six plans are the 1991 Stock Option Plan, the Amended and Restated Executive Stock Option Plan, the 1995 Stock Option Plan, the Amended and Restated 1996 Performance Award Plan, the 2000 Performance Award Plan (the “2000 Plan”), and the 2003 Performance Award Plan (the “2003 Plan”). Currently, awards of options, restricted stock, RSUs and other stock-based awards may only be made under the 2003 Plan, which authorizes the issuance of a total of 2 million shares of which 1.1 million shares are available at December 31, 2004.

 

The exercise price of options granted under these plans is generally the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. Options typically become exercisable in four annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. However, there are other vesting schedules and expiration periods for options granted under the plans.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Prior to May 4, 2004, each non-employee director was automatically granted an option, immediately following each annual meeting of stockholders, to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price of each automatic stock option is the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each automatic stock option has a ten-year term and becomes exercisable in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. However, under the terms of the Company’s 2003 Plan, the Board may award to each non-employee director restricted stock, which may be in addition to or in lieu of the annual option grant.

 

Under an amendment to the Company’s 2003 Plan, beginning May 4, 2004, non-employee directors began receiving an annual automatic grant of Director Restricted Stock Units in place of annual automatic grants of options. No further option awards will be made to non-employee directors under the 2003 Plan, unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise. The annual automatic grants of Director Restricted Stock Units occur immediately following each annual meeting of stockholders. The number of Director Restricted Stock Units subject to each annual automatic award is determined by dividing $50,000 (established as the grant date award value) by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Director Restricted Stock Units vest in three equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. During 2004, the Company granted to non-employee directors an aggregate of 17,696 Director Restricted Stock Units with a fair market value of $0.4 million as of the grant date.

 

In addition, each non-employee director may elect irrevocably to defer any retainers or fees and receive Director Stock Units instead. If a director makes such an election, his or her Director Stock Units will be distributed to him or her in the form of an equal number of shares of common stock in a single lump sum or in up to five substantially equal installments, beginning on either January 1 of the year immediately following the director’s termination of service, or January 1 of another year selected by the director provided that such year is not less than three years after the year in which the compensation being deferred is earned. The number of Director Stock Units to be credited to a director is calculated by dividing the deferred compensation by 90% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of credit. When the Company pays dividends, dividend equivalents are credited to the director’s already vested Director Stock Units in the form of additional Director Stock Units. The number of additional Director Stock Units is calculated by (i) multiplying the dividend equivalent amount per unit by the number of already vested Director Stock Units and (ii) dividing the resulting amount by 90% of the closing price of our common stock on the dividend payment date.

 

The Company granted restricted stock or RSU awards to certain employees in October and November 2003, and July and December 2004 under the 2003 Plan. In October 2003, in connection with the REIT conversion, the Company offered employees the right to exchange certain unvested stock options for restricted stock or, in some cases, RSUs. Those employees who elected to accept the exchange offer received restricted stock or RSU awards in November 2003 under the 2000 Plan. For those eligible option shares not exchanged, a stock option modification was deemed to have occurred, therefore triggering variable accounting which resulted in a $6.6 million charge to be amortized over the remaining vesting periods. Unrelated to the exchange offer, the Company granted restricted stock or RSUs to certain employees in awards in November 2003 and January 2004 under the 2000 Plan.

 

Restricted stock, restricted stock units and Director Restricted Stock Units are entitled to dividend equivalents representing dividends on an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock. Dividend equivalents on restricted stock and restricted stock units are payable in cash. For dividends with a record date prior to January 1, 2005, dividend equivalents on Director Restricted Stock Units get credited to directors’ accounts as additional Director Restricted Stock Units. For each year beginning January 1, 2005, non-employee directors will be able to elect to receive dividend equivalents on Director Restricted Stock Units in cash or as additional Director Restricted Stock Units.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The Company expenses dividends paid on restricted stock, restricted stock units and Director Restricted Stock Units. For the year ended December 31, 2004, dividends paid were $2.1 million.

 

Restricted stock and RSUs typically vest in equal installments over three years. Except for the restricted stock and RSU awards that were granted in connection with the exchange offer, certain committees of the Board of Directors determine, in their discretion, the employees who receive restricted stock or RSU awards.

 

During 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. Performance Units are entitled to dividend equivalents representing dividends on an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock. Dividend equivalents are credited to participants’ accounts as additional Performance Units. 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 as to certain participants 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 December 31, 2004, 363,082 Performance Units, representing the aggregate number initially awarded under both plans plus an additional 15,184 Performance Units from dividend equivalents on previously existing Performance Units, have been credited to participants’ accounts, subject to the performance and time vesting requirements discussed in the preceding paragraph. As required by APB 25, the Company has recognized $6.8 million as compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2004, with the corresponding liability recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For purposes of recognizing compensation expense, TIP performance is based on the Company’s current estimate of the timing for achieving performance targets, and LTIP performance is measured on the basis of actual results as of December 31, 2004. The Company estimates that as of December 31, 2004, 92.1% of the TIP performance targets have been achieved and that the LTIP performance target will be met. However, for purposes of vesting under the TIP, if at least 50% but less than 100% of any defined performance target were met as of December 31, 2004, the Compensation and Benefits Committee would only be able to certify the achievement of 50% of such target as of December 31, 2004. In February 2005, the Compensation and Benefits Committee certified the achievement of the defined performance targets to an extent which resulted in the performance vesting of 75% of all TIP Performance Units, subject to the time vesting requirements as to certain participants, as discussed in the preceding paragraph.

 

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“Statement 23”) requires use of option valuation models that were developed for use in valuing publicly traded stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized unless there is a subsequent modification (see Note 2 for a discussion of the Company’s planned adoption of SFAS 123R).

 

Pro forma information regarding net income and income per share as required by Statement 123 is presented in Note 2 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair

value method. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 2003 and 2002 was $5.65 and $5.01, respectively. There were no options granted in 2004. The fair value of options granted was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2003 and 2002, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 2.85% and 3.47%; zero percent dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 19.59% and 22.5%; and a weighted-average expected life of the options of five years.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

 

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity, and related information is as follows (2002 has been restated as a result of the stock dividend and exchange offer program (see Note 18):

From October 1999 through December 2001, the Company repurchased 23.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a cost of $401.1 million. The Company’s repurchases were reflected as treasury stock at cost and were presented as a reduction to consolidated stockholders’ equity. In December 2003, in connection with the Company’s restructuring to qualify as a REIT (see Notes 1 and 18), the Company retired its 23.6 million shares of treasury stock as a reduction to paid-in capital. The Company has no treasury stock at December 31, 2004.

 

In 2003 and 2004, the Company cumulatively granted restricted stock and restricted stock units representing 1,571,356 shares (see Note 11), with a fair market value of $37.3 million and, generally, a three-year vesting period. At December 31, 2004, there were 1,402,930 shares represented by the restricted stock, restricted stock units, and Director Restricted Stock Units outstanding with an unearned book value of $23.0 million.

 

Cash dividends of $0.27 per common share for the fourth quarter 2003 and the first, second, and third quarter of 2004 were paid on January 15, 2004, April 15, 2004, July 15, 2004, and October 15, 2004, respectively.

 

On December 1, 2004, the Company’s Board declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ending December 31, 2004, of $0.27 per share of common stock, or $27.9 million, and a special dividend of $0.45 per share of common stock, or $46.5 million, that were paid on January 18, 2005, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 28, 2004.

 

On December 8, 2003, the Company announced results of the stockholders’ elections regarding the special earnings and profits (“E&P”) dividend, a one-time distribution of our accumulated E&P that was part of our conversion to a real estate investment trust effective January 1, 2004. The E&P per share distribution, declared by the Board and announced on October 8, 2003, at $3.83 per share, was paid on December 18, 2003, to stockholders of record at the close of business November 4, 2003. Through December 1, 2003, stockholders had the opportunity to elect how they preferred to receive their dividend—all stock, all cash, or a combination of 20 percent cash and 80 percent stock. As a result of the elections, the total stock portion of the E&P distribution was 10.66 million shares. The number of shares of stock distributed was calculated based on the average closing price of the Company’s stock from December 2, 2003, through December 8, 2003, which was $23.612. The total cash portion of the E&P distribution was $100.3 million.

 

The four 2004 quarterly distributions of $0.27 per share of Common Stock each quarter, totaling $1.08 per share of Common Stock were 100% taxable in 2004. Additionally, a portion of the $0.45 per share special dividend paid in January 2005—equal to $0.417625 per share—is taxable in 2004, bringing the total taxable distributions for 2004 federal income tax purposes to $1.497625 per share of Common Stock.

 

The taxable portion of the distributions is classified for income tax purposes as follows: 51.360321% is classified as Ordinary Taxable Dividend; and 48.639679% is eligible for treatment as “qualified dividend income”.

 

The Company made two distributions in 2003, a third quarter distribution and a special E&P distribution. The third quarter distribution of $0.30 per share paid on November 25, 2003, to common stockholders of record on November 4, 2003, is 100% taxable as a 2003 qualified ordinary dividend. The special E&P distribution consisting of cash and/or Catellus stock paid on December 18, 2003, to common stockholders of record on November 4, 2003, is 76.18696% taxable as a 2003 qualified ordinary dividend. The remaining 23.81304% of the special E&P dividend is considered return of capital. The fair market value of the stock portion of the special E&P dividend on December 18, 2003, was $23.83 per share.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The fourth quarter 2003 distribution to stockholders of record as of December 29, 2003, paid on January 15, 2004, is considered a 2004 distribution for income tax purposes.

 

On February 16, 2005, the Company’s Board declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ending March 31, 2005, of $0.27 per share of common stock payable on April 15, 2005, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 29, 2005.

 

Note 13.    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 time 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 that may not always be industrial, especially projects that may not require significant capital investment on the Company’s part, where the Company can utilize its land development skills. 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.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2). 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 14.    Sale of Non-Core Assets

 

In November 2004, the Company sold a significant portion of its remaining urban and residential development assets, with a book value of $295.9 million, to an affiliate of Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C. (“Farallon”) for $343.3 million. $7.2 million of the sales gain has been deferred until certain future requirements are met. In addition, $7.5 million of previously deferred sales gain, interest, and developer fees related to the assets sold were recognized. The purchase price consists of $68.7 million in cash and $274.6 million in debt financed by the Company that is collateralized by the assets sold. Farallon has engaged the Company to act as development manager for the assets. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company has earned $2.4 million in interest and $1.0 million in development and other fees.

 

Note 15.    Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company has 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 standby letters of credit, guarantees and capital contribution commitments as of December 31, 2004, are summarized in the following categories (in thousands):

 

Off-balance sheet liabilities:

      

Standby letters of credit

   $ 51,812

Debt service guarantees

     482

Contribution requirements

     7,100
    

Sub-total

     59,394

Liabilities included in balance sheet:

      

Standby letters of credit

     10,836
    

Total

   $ 70,230
    

 

Standby letters of credit consist of two types: performance and financial. Performance standby letters of credit are to guarantee the construction of infrastructure and public improvements as a requirement of entitlement. 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. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has a total of $62.6 million in these standby letters of credit, which are scheduled to expire between January 2005 and June 2006. Of this total, $51.8 million is off-balance sheet ($46.3 million in financial letters of credit and $5.5 million in performance letters of credit). The remaining $10.8 million is related to obligations that are reflected in “Mortgage and other debt” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and 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 $51.8 million in letters of credit that are related to non-balance sheet items. When the assessment district bonds are consolidated, the full issuance proceeds amount is consolidated in “Mortgage and other debt” with a corresponding asset in “Other assets and deferred charges, net.” 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 December 31, 2004, the Company has not been required to satisfy any of these standby letters of credit.

 

The Company has made debt service guarantees for one of its unconsolidated joint ventures. At December 31, 2004, based on the joint venture’s outstanding balance, these debt guarantees totaled $0.5 million and are

 

F-34

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

scheduled to expire between April 2005 and December 2005. Debt service guarantees are typical business arrangements commonly required of real estate developers. An example of the types of event 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 December 31, 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 four 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 December 31, 2004, the Company cumulatively contributed $20.0 million to Serrano Associates, LLC as additional contributions and $2.0 million as additional contributions to SAMS Venture, LLC. The Company is also required to make additional capital contributions to another two of its unconsolidated joint ventures should additional capital contributions be necessary (see chart below). As of December 31, 2004, the Company does not expect to fund any significant capital contributions beyond the maximum capital requirements.

     $ 52,000    $ 7,100
    

  


(1) Talega Village, LLC has substantially wound up operations and the Company does not expect to make any future capital contributions.

 

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 table above, the Company also has the following contingencies:

 

In connection with the sale of a significant portion of the Company’s remaining urban and residential development assets to Farallon, an affiliate of Farallon Capital Management LLC (see Note 14), the Company has agreed to finance up to $164 million on certain sales of Farallon’s assets to third parties totaling $222 million. Substantial portion of the money required to fund the $164 million financing will come from pay downs under the loans to Farallon.

 

As of December 31, 2004, $30.0 million of Community Facility District bonds were sold to finance public infrastructure improvements at a Company project. The Company is required to satisfy any shortfall in annual debt service obligation for these bonds if tax revenues generated by the project is insufficient. As of December 31, 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 project 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,

 

F-35


CATELLUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial conditions, 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 December 31, 2004, management estimates that future costs for remediation of environmental contamination on operating properties and properties previously sold approximate $2.3 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 $8.6 million of similar costs relating to the Company’s properties to be developed or sold. In addition, the Company has approximately $10.0 million in escrow for environmental work related to a land acquisition (see Note 2). 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 years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003 totaled $2.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively. 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 16.    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 earned were $3.5 million, $7.0 million, and $4.2 million, in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, primarily from Bayport Alameda Associates, LLC, Third and King Investors, LLC, and SAMS Venture, LLC. Deferred fees of $0.6 million from Serrano Associates, LLC and Bergstrom Partners, L.P. at December 31, 2004, will be earned 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 $1.0 million depending on the buyers 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 buyers full payment of the note. In 2004, the Company sold its investment in Bayport Alameda Associates, LLC and Third and King Investors, LLC (see Note 5).

 

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 $5.0 million, $5.0 million, and

 

F-36


CATELLUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

$3.7 million were received and recognized as rental income during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. This joint venture investment was sold in 2004 (see Note 5). However, the ground lease was assigned to the purchaser of this joint venture and will continue under the original terms.

 

The Company has a $4.6 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 venture, and matures in October 2028. The Company has entered into various lease agreements with this unconsolidated joint venture. As lessee, rent expense was $0.1 million in each of the years 2004, 2003, and 2002; this lease will expire in November 2011. As lessor, the Company entered into a ground lease, which will expire in August 2054. The Company earned rental income of $0.2 million in each of the last three years and as of December 31, 2004, has recorded a $2.6 million receivable and a $1.1 million reserve associated with this lease. The venture’s current projection reflects approximately $0.2 million available funds, per year, to pay down this receivable.

 

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, resulting in a $0.1 million gain, of which 50% was deferred.

 

Note 17.    Discontinued Operations

 

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 year ended December 31, 2004. Additionally, all periods presented will likely require further reclassification in future periods as additional, similar sales of rental properties occur.

 

Discontinued operations activities for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, are summarized as follows:

Note 18.    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 years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003:

 

    a one-time distribution of pre-REIT accumulated earnings and profits (“E&P”) of $3.83 per share of common stock, or $352 million, was paid on December 18, 2003, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 4, 2003.

Summarized Quarterly Results (Unaudited)

 

The Company’s income and cash flow are determined to a large extent by property sales. Sales and net income have fluctuated significantly from quarter to quarter, as evidenced by the following summary of unaudited quarterly consolidated results of operations. Property sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter, reflecting general market conditions and the Company’s intent to sell property when it can obtain attractive prices. Cost of sales may also vary widely 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.
