Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

 

1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") formed in 1994. We are engaged primarily in the ownership, operation, management, acquisition, conversion, retrofit, expansion and selective development and redevelopment of properties containing a combination of office and laboratory space. We refer to these properties as "Life Science Facilities." Our Life Science Facilities are designed and improved for lease primarily to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostic, device, contract research and personal care products companies, scientific research institutions, related government agencies and technology enterprises. As of June 30, 2000, our portfolio consisted of 65 properties in nine states with approximately 4.4 million rentable square feet.

We have prepared the accompanying interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In our opinion, the interim financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary to fairly present the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alexandria and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

2. Rental Properties

Rental properties consist of the following (in thousands):


                                    June 30,   December 31,
                                      2000        1999
                                   -----------------------

Buildings and improvements            512,303     475,507
Tenant and other improvements          51,536      33,249
                                   ----------- -----------
                                      655,488     590,202
Less accumulated depreciation         (45,875)    (35,496)
                                   ----------- -----------
                                     $609,613    $554,706
                                   =========== ===========

During the three months ended June 30, 2000, we acquired four properties containing approximately 181,000 rentable square feet from unrelated third parties for an aggregate purchase price (including closing and transaction costs) of approximately $22.5 million.

3. Unsecured Line of Credit

We have an unsecured line of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $325 million. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at a floating rate based on our election of either a LIBOR based rate or the higher of the bank's reference rate and the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%. For each LIBOR based advance, we must elect to fix the rate for a period of one, two, three or six months.

The line of credit contains financial covenants, including, among other things, maintenance of minimum net worth, a total liabilities to gross asset value ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the terms of the line of credit restrict, among other things, certain investments, indebtedness, distributions and mergers. Borrowings under the line of credit are limited to an amount based on a pool of unencumbered assets. Accordingly, as we acquire additional unencumbered properties, borrowings available under the line of credit will increase, but may not exceed $325 million. As of June 30, 2000, borrowings under the line of credit were limited to approximately $275 million, and the borrowings outstanding on the line of credit carried a weighted average interest rate of 8.24%.

The line of credit expires February 2003 and provides for an extension (provided there is no default) of an additional one-year period, upon notice by the company and consent of the participating banks.

4. Stockholders' Equity

On April 13, 2000, we sold 500,000 shares of common stock to a state pension fund. The shares were issued at a price of $29.39 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of approximately $14.2 million, net of offering costs.

 

4. Stockholders' Equity (continued)

On June 16, 2000, we declared a cash dividend on our common stock aggregating $6,188,000 ($ 0.43 per share) for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2000. We paid the dividend on July 14, 2000. On June 16, 2000, we also declared a cash dividend on our Series A preferred stock aggregating $916,000 ($ 0.59375 per share) for the period from April 16, 2000 through July 15, 2000.

Overview

Since our formation in October 1994, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the ownership, operation, management, acquisition, conversion, retrofit, expansion and selective development and redevelopment of high quality, strategically located Life Science Facilities in our target markets.

Our primary source of revenue is rental income and tenant recoveries from leases at the properties we own. Of the 65 properties we owned as of June 30, 2000, four were acquired in 1994, eight in 1996, nine in 1997, 29 in 1998, six in 1999 and four in 2000. In addition, we completed the development of two properties in 1999 (together with the six properties acquired in 1999, the "1999 Properties") and three properties in 2000 (together with the four properties acquired in 2000, the "2000 Properties"). As a result of our acquisition and development activities, the financial data presented in this report shows significant increases in total revenue and expenses for the 2000 period compared to the 1999 period.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 ("Second Quarter 2000") to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 ("Second Quarter 1999")

Rental revenue increased by $3.0 million, or 17%, to $19.7 million for Second Quarter 2000 compared to $16.7 million for Second Quarter 1999. The increase resulted primarily from rental revenue from the 1999 Properties acquired after April 1, 1999 and the 2000 Properties. Rental revenue from the properties acquired before April 1, 1999 (the "Second Quarter Same Properties") increased by $489,000, or 3.2%, primarily due to increases in rental rates.

Tenant recoveries increased by $742,000, or 19%, to $4.7 million for Second Quarter 2000 compared to $4.0 million for Second Quarter 1999. The increase resulted primarily from tenant recoveries from the 1999 Properties acquired after April 1, 1999 and the 2000 Properties. Tenant recoveries for the Second Quarter Same Properties increased by $209,000, or 5.5%, primarily due to increases in certain recoverable operating expenses and capitalized costs at certain properties.

Interest and other income increased by $167,000, or 43%, to $553,000 for Second Quarter 2000 compared to $386,000 for Second Quarter 1999, resulting primarily from $110,000 in fees associated with our project management of tenant improvements at one of our properties and an increase in interest income of $37,000.

Rental operating expenses increased by $91,000, or 2%, to $4.8 million for Second Quarter 2000 compared to $4.7 million for Second Quarter 1999. The increase resulted primarily from rental operating expenses from the 1999 Properties acquired after April 1, 1999 and the 2000 Properties. Operating expenses for the Second Quarter Same Properties decreased by $272,000, or 6.0%, primarily due to third party management fees that are no longer incurred at certain properties and a decrease in utility expense at certain properties.

 

The following is a comparison of property operating data computed under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP Basis") and under generally accepted accounting principles, adjusted to exclude the effect of straight line rent adjustments required by GAAP ("Cash Basis") for the Second Quarter Same Properties (dollars in thousands):

_________

  1. Revenue and operating expenses are computed in accordance with GAAP, except that revenue excludes the effect of straight line rent adjustments.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $412,000, or 24%, to $2.1 million for Second Quarter 2000 compared to $1.7 million for Second Quarter 1999. The increase was primarily due to the continued increase in the scope of our operations.

 

Interest expense increased by $1.1 million, or 23%, to $6.0 million for Second Quarter 2000 compared to $4.9 million for Second Quarter 1999. The increase resulted primarily from the indebtedness incurred to acquire the 1999 Properties acquired after April 1, 1999 and the 2000 Properties. We have entered into certain swap agreements to hedge our borrowings at variable interest rates (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Unsecured Line of Credit"). The weighted average effective interest rate on our borrowings (not including the effect of swap agreements) increased from 7.09% as of June 30, 1999 to 8.11% as of June 30, 2000.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.7 million, or 42%, to $5.7 million for Second Quarter 2000 compared to $4.0 million for Second Quarter 1999. The increase resulted primarily from depreciation associated with the 1999 Properties acquired after April 1, 1999 and the 2000 Properties.

As a result of the foregoing, net income was $6.3 million for Second Quarter 2000 compared to $5.8 million for Second Quarter 1999.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 ("Six Months 2000") to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 ("Six Months 1999")

Rental revenue increased by approximately $5.8 million, or 18%, to $38.3 million for Six Months 2000 compared to $32.5 million for Six Months 1999. The increase resulted primarily from rental revenue from the 1999 Properties and the 2000 Properties. Rental revenue from the Properties acquired before January 1, 1999 (the "Six Months Same Properties") increased by $877,000, or 3.1%, primarily due to increases in rental rates.

Tenant recoveries increased by approximately $2.1 million, or 28%, to $9.5 million for Six Months 2000 compared to $7.4 million for Six Months 1999. The increase resulted primarily from tenant recoveries from the 1999 Properties and the 2000 Properties. Tenant recoveries from the Six Months Same Properties increased by $958,000, or 14.7%, primarily due to increases in certain recoverable operating expenses and capitalized costs at certain properties.

Interest and other income increased by $349,000, or 46%, to $1.1 million for Six Months 2000 compared to $753,000 for Six Months 1999, resulting primarily from a non-recurring gain on marketable securities of $179,000 in March 2000 and $110,000 in fees associated with our project management of tenant improvements at one of our properties.

Rental operating expenses increased by approximately $682,000, or 7%, to $9.8 million for Six Months 2000 compared to $9.1 million for Six Months 1999. The increase resulted primarily from the 1999 Properties and the 2000 Properties. Operating expenses for the Six Months Same Properties decreased by $117,000, or 1.4%, primarily due to third party management fees that are no longer incurred at certain properties.

 

The following is a comparison of property operating data computed on a GAAP Basis and on a Cash Basis for the Six Months Same Properties (dollars in thousands):

_________

(1) Revenue and operating expenses are computed in accordance with GAAP, except that revenue excludes the effect of straight line rent adjustments

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.2 million, or 40%, to $4.2 million for Six Months 2000 compared to $3.0 million for Six Months 1999. The increase was primarily due to the continued increase in the scope of our operations.

Interest expense increased by approximately $1.7 million, or 17%, to $11.5 million for Six Months 2000 compared to $9.8 million for Six Months 1999. The increase resulted primarily from the indebtedness incurred to acquire the 1999 Properties and the 2000 Properties. We have entered into certain swap agreements to hedge our borrowings at variable interest rates (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Unsecured Line of Credit"). The weighted average effective interest rate on our borrowings (not including the effect of swap agreements) increased from 7.09% as of June 30, 1999 to 8.11% as of June 30, 2000.

Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $3.7 million, or 49%, to $11.3 million for Six Months 2000 compared to $7.6 million for Six Months 1999. The increase resulted primarily from depreciation associated with the 1999 Properties and the 2000 Properties.

As a result of the foregoing, net income was $12.1 million for Six Months 2000 compared to $11.1 million for Six Months 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities for Six Months 2000 decreased by $14.7 million, to $6.5 million compared to $21.2 million for Second Quarter 1999. The decrease resulted primarily from increases in other assets. The increase in other assets is due to increases in loan costs from the renewal of our unsecured line of credit in February 2000 and increases in certain investments.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $27.5 million, to $54.7 million for Six Months 2000 compared to $27.2 million for Six Months 1999. The increase was primarily due to a higher level of property development costs incurred and property acquisitions made during Six Months 2000 compared to Six Months 1999.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $38.2 million, to $45.5 million for Six Months 2000 compared to $7.3 million for Six Months 1999. Cash provided by financing activities for Six Months 2000 consisted primarily of net proceeds from our unsecured line of credit, secured debt, issuance of common stock and exercise of stock options, partially offset by principal reductions of our secured debt and distributions to stockholders. Cash provided by financing activities for Six Months 1999 consisted of net proceeds from the issuance and repurchase of our common stock, issuance of preferred stock, exercise of stock options and secured debt, partially offset by principal reductions on our unsecured line of credit, principal reductions of our secured debt and distributions to stockholders.

Commitments

As of June 30, 2000, we were committed under the terms of certain leases to complete the construction of buildings and related improvements at a remaining aggregate cost of $38.4 million.

As of June 30, 2000, we were also committed to fund approximately $28.5 million for the construction of tenant improvements under the terms of various leases and for certain investments in limited partnerships.

Unsecured line of credit

We have an unsecured line of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $325 million. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at a floating rate based on our election of either a LIBOR based rate or the higher of the bank's reference rate and the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%. For each LIBOR based advance, we must elect to fix the rate for a period of one, two, three or six months.

The line of credit contains financial covenants, including, among other things, maintenance of minimum net worth, a total liabilities to gross asset value ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the terms of the line of credit restrict, among other things, certain investments, indebtedness, distributions and mergers. Borrowings under the line of credit are limited to an amount based on a pool of unencumbered assets. Accordingly, as we acquire additional unencumbered properties, borrowings available under the line of credit will increase, but may not exceed $325 million. As of June 30, 2000, borrowings under the line of credit were limited to approximately $275 million, and the borrowings outstanding on the line of credit carried a weighted average interest rate of 8.24%.

The line of credit expires February 2003 and provides for an extension (provided there is no default) of an additional one-year period, upon notice by the company and consent of the participating banks.

In October 1999, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with FleetBoston Financial (the "Bank") to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates associated with our line of credit. Interest paid is calculated at a fixed interest rate of 6.5% through May 31, 2001 on a notional amount of $50 million, and interest received is calculated at one-month LIBOR. The net difference between the interest paid and the interest received under such agreements is reflected in our financial statements as an adjustment to interest expense.

In January 2000, we entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement with the Bank to further hedge our exposure to variable interest rates associated with our line of credit. Interest paid is calculated at a fixed interest rate of 6.5% from February 1, 2000 to March 31, 2000, 6.75% from April 1, 2000 to July 31, 2000, 7.00% from August 1, 2000 to December 29, 2000 and 7.25% from December 30, 2000 to December 31, 2001, in each case on a notional amount of $50 million, and interest received is calculated at one-month LIBOR.

In April 2000, we entered into a third swap agreement with Merrill Lynch Capital Services, Inc. Interest paid will be calculated at a fixed interest rate of 6.995% through January 2, 2003 on a notional amount of $50 million and interest received will be calculated at one-month LIBOR.

In July 2000, we entered into a fourth swap agreement with the Bank. Interest paid will be calculated at a fixed interest rate of 7.07% commencing May 31, 2001 through May 31, 2003 on a notional amount of $50 million and interest received will be calculated at one-month LIBOR.

With respect to our swap agreements, we are exposed to losses in the event the Bank or Merrill Lynch are unable to perform under the agreements, or in the event one month LIBOR is less than the agreed-upon fixed interest rates. The fair value of the swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2000 and changes in their fair value as a result of changes in market interest rates are not recognized in our financial statements.

 

Other Resources and Liquidity Requirements

We expect to continue meeting our short-term liquidity and capital requirements generally by using our working capital and net cash provided by operating activities. We believe that the net cash provided by operating activities will continue to be sufficient to make distributions necessary to enable us to continue qualifying as a real estate investment trust. We also believe that net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund our recurring non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements, for purposes such as property acquisitions, property development activities, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements, through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, including borrowings under our line of credit, and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.

Inflation

Approximately 81% of our leases (on a square footage basis) are triple net leases, requiring tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes and insurance, common area and other operating expenses, including increases therein. In addition, approximately 91% of our leases (on a square footage basis) contain effective annual rent escalations that are either fixed (ranging from 2.5% to 4.0%) or indexed based on a CPI index. Accordingly, we do not believe that our earnings or cash flow are subject to any significant risk from inflation. An increase in inflation, however, could result in an increase in our variable rate borrowing cost, including borrowings under our unsecured line of credit.

 

Funds from Operations

We believe that funds from operations ("FFO") is helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors with an understanding of our ability to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to make distributions. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in its October 1999 White Paper (the "White Paper"), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for our discretionary use because a portion of FFO is needed for capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.

The following tables present our FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk, which is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control.

In order to modify and manage the interest characteristics of our outstanding debt and limit the effects of interest rates on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, floors and other interest rate exchange contracts. The use of these types of instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks such as counter-party credit risk and legal enforceability of hedging contracts.

Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relating to financial instruments are primarily dependent upon market rates of interest, such as LIBOR. However, due to the purchase of our interest rate swap agreements, the current effects of interest rate changes are reduced. Based on interest rates at, and our swap agreements in effect on, June 30, 2000, a 1% increase in interest rates on our line of credit would decrease annual future earnings and cash flows, after considering the effect of our interest rate swap agreements, by approximately $700,000. A 1% decrease in interest rates on our line of credit would increase annual future earnings and cash flows, after considering the effect of our interest rate swap agreements, by approximately $700,000. A 1% increase in interest rates on our secured debt and interest rate swap agreements would decrease their fair value by approximately $6.9 million. A 1% decrease in interest rates on our secured debt and interest rate swap agreements would increase their fair value by approximately $8.1 million. A 1% increase or decrease in interest rates on our secured note receivable would not have a material impact on its fair value.

These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost and our interest rate swap agreements in effect on June 30, 2000. These analyses do not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we would consider taking actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our capital structure.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
