ALEXANDER’S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
Alexander’s, Inc. (NYSE: ALX) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), incorporated in Delaware, engaged in leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping its properties. All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company” and “Alexander’s” refer to Alexander’s, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are managed by, and our properties are leased and developed by, Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) (NYSE: VNO).
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Alexander’s and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the SEC.
We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.
We currently operate in one business segment.
3. Recently Issued Accounting Literature
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update (“ASU 2014-08”) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements and ASC Topic 360, Property Plant and Equipment. Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s results and operations would qualify as discontinued operations. In addition, ASU 2014-08 expands the disclosure requirements for disposals that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose information about disposals of individually significant components that do not meet the definition of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this update on January 1, 2015 is not expected to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-09”) establishing ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

(UNAUDITED)
3. Recently Issued Accounting Literature – continued
In June 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-12”) to ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASU 2014-12 requires an entity to treat performance targets that can be met after the requisite service period of a share based award has ended, as a performance condition that affects vesting. ASU 2014-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this update on January 1, 2016 is not expected to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
4. Relationship with Vornado
At June 30, 2014, Vornado owned 32.4% of our outstanding common stock. We are managed by, and our properties are leased and developed by, Vornado, pursuant to the agreements described below which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable.
Management and Development Agreements
We pay Vornado an annual management fee equal to the sum of (i) $2,800,000, (ii) 2% of gross revenue from the Rego Park II shopping center, (iii) $0.50 per square foot of the tenant-occupied office and retail space at 731 Lexington Avenue and (iv) $280,000, escalating at 3% per annum, for managing the common area of 731 Lexington Avenue. Vornado is also entitled to a development fee equal to 6% of development costs, as defined.
Leasing Agreements
Vornado also provides us with leasing services for a fee of 3% of rent for the first ten years of a lease term, 2% of rent for the eleventh through the twentieth year of a lease term, and 1% of rent for the twenty-first through thirtieth year of a lease term, subject to the payment of rents by tenants. In the event third-party real estate brokers are used, the fees to Vornado increase by 1% and Vornado is responsible for the fees to the third-party real estate brokers. Vornado is also entitled to a commission upon the sale of any of our assets equal to 3% of gross proceeds, as defined, for asset sales less than $50,000,000 and 1% of gross proceeds, as defined, for asset sales of $50,000,000 or more. The total of these amounts is payable in annual installments in an amount not to exceed $4,000,000, with interest on the unpaid balance at one-year LIBOR plus 1.0% (1.58% at June 30, 2014).
Other Agreements
We also have agreements with Building Maintenance Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vornado, to supervise (i) cleaning, engineering and security services at our Lexington Avenue property and (ii) security services at our Rego Park I and Rego Park II properties, for an annual fee equal to the cost of such services plus 6%.

At June 30, 2014, we owed Vornado $41,279,000 for leasing fees, $749,000 for development fees and $461,000 for management, property management, cleaning and security fees.
5. Rego Park II Apartment Tower
We have commenced the construction of an apartment tower that will contain approximately 300 units aggregating 250,000 square feet, above our Rego Park II shopping center, which is expected to be completed in 2015. The estimated cost of this project is approximately $125,000,000, of which $23,000,000 has been incurred as of June 30, 2014. There can be no assurance that the project will be completed on schedule, or within budget.
6. Marketable Securities
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we owned 535,265 common shares of The Macerich Company (“Macerich”) (NYSE: MAC), which were received in connection with the sale of the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center to Macerich in November 2012. These shares have an economic cost of $56.05 per share, or $30,000,000 in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair values of these shares were $35,729,000 and $31,522,000, respectively, based on Macerich’s closing share price of $66.75 per share and $58.89 per share, respectively. These shares are included in “marketable securities” on our consolidated balance sheets and are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are presented at fair value and unrealized gains and losses resulting from the mark-to-market of these securities are included in “other comprehensive income.”
7. Significant Tenants
Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) accounted for $44,483,000 and $43,322,000, representing 45% of our total revenues in each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. If we were to lose Bloomberg as a tenant, or if Bloomberg were to fail or become unable to fulfill its obligations under its lease, it would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We receive and evaluate certain confidential financial information and metrics from Bloomberg on a semi-annual basis. In addition, we access and evaluate financial information regarding Bloomberg from private sources, as well as publicly available data.

8. Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Our Omnibus Stock Plan (the “Plan”) provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock units (“DSUs”) and performance shares, as defined, to the directors, officers and employees of the Company and Vornado.
In May 2014, the Company granted each of the members of its Board of Directors 212 DSUs with a grant date fair value of $56,250 per grant, or $394,000 in the aggregate. The DSUs entitle the holder to receive shares of the Company’s common stock without the payment of any consideration. The DSUs vested immediately and accordingly, were expensed on the date of grant, but the shares of common stock underlying the DSUs are not deliverable to the grantee until the grantee is no longer serving on the Company’s Board of Directors.
9. Mortgages Payable
On February 28, 2014, we completed a $300,000,000 refinancing of the office portion of 731 Lexington Avenue. The interest-only loan is at LIBOR plus 0.95% and matures in March 2017, with four one-year extension options. The proceeds of the new loan and existing cash were used to repay the existing loan and closing costs. In connection therewith, we purchased an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $300,000,000 that caps LIBOR at a rate of 6.0%.
The following is a summary of our outstanding mortgages payable. We intend to refinance our maturing debt as it comes due.

10. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, consist of marketable securities and an interest rate cap, which are presented in the table below, based on their level in the fair value hierarchy. There were no financial liabilities measured at fair value at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents, mortgages payable and leasing commissions due to Vornado. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of our mortgages payable is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist. The leasing commissions due to Vornado are carried at cost plus interest at variable rates, which approximate fair value. The fair value of cash equivalents is classified as Level 1 and the fair value of mortgages payable and leasing commissions due to Vornado is classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and all-risk property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $1.7 billion per occurrence, including coverage for acts of terrorism, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties.
Fifty Ninth Street Insurance Company, LLC (“FNSIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, which expires in December 2014. Coverage for acts of terrorism (including NBCR acts) is up to $1.7 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies with no exposure to FNSIC. For NBCR acts, FNSIC is responsible for a $275,000 deductible and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by FNSIC.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.
Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us, except for $75,000,000 of the $320,000,000 mortgage on our 731 Lexington Avenue property, in the event of a substantial casualty, as defined. Our mortgage loans contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties.
Litigation
On June 24, 2014, Sears Roebuck and Co. (“Sears”) filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Vornado and us (and certain of our subsidiaries) with regard to space that Sears leases at our Rego Park I property. Sears alleges that the defendants are liable for harm Sears has suffered as a result of (a) water intrusions into the premises Sears leases, (b) two fires in February 2014 that caused damages to those premises, and (c) alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the premises’ parking garage. Sears asserts various causes of actions for damages and seeks to compel compliance with landlord’s obligations to repair the premises and to provide security, and to compel us to abate a nuisance that Sears claims was a cause of the water intrusions into its premises. In addition to injunctive relief, Sears seeks, among other things, damages of not less than $4 million and future damages it estimates will be not less than $25 million. We intend to defend the claims vigorously; the amount or range of reasonably possible losses, if any, cannot be estimated.

11. Commitments and Contingencies – continued
Flushing
In 2002, Flushing Expo, Inc. (“Expo”) agreed to purchase the stock of the entity which owns the Flushing property from us (“Purchase of the Property”) and gave us a non-refundable deposit of $1,875,000. Pursuant to a stipulation of settlement, we settled the action Expo brought against us regarding the Purchase of the Property and in June 2011, deposited the settlement amount with the Court, in exchange for which we received a stipulation of discontinuance, with prejudice, as well as general releases. In November 2011, Expo filed another action, this time against our tenant at the Flushing property asserting, among other things, that such tenant interfered with Expo’s Purchase of the Property from us and sought $50,000,000 in damages from our tenant, who sought indemnification from us for such amount. In August 2012, the Court entered judgment denying Expo’s claim for damages. Expo filed a motion to re-argue the decision, which the Court denied on December 7, 2012. Expo appealed the Court’s August 2012 decision, which the Court denied on April 16, 2014.
Paramus
In 2001, we leased 30.3 acres of land located in Paramus, New Jersey to IKEA Property, Inc. The lease has a purchase option in 2021 for $75,000,000. The property is encumbered by a $68,000,000 interest-only mortgage loan with a fixed rate of 2.90%, which matures in October 2018. The annual triple-net rent is the sum of $700,000 plus the amount of debt service on the mortgage loan. If the purchase option is exercised, we will receive net cash proceeds of approximately $7,000,000 and recognize a gain on sale of land of approximately $60,000,000. If the purchase option is not exercised, the triple-net rent for the last 20 years would include debt service sufficient to fully amortize $68,000,000 over the remaining 20-year lease term.
Letters of Credit
Approximately $3,308,000 of standby letters of credit were outstanding as of June 30, 2014.
Other
There are various other legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters in the aggregate will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
12. Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per share, including a reconciliation of net income and the number of shares used in computing basic and diluted income per share. Basic income per share is determined using the weighted average shares of common stock (including DSUs) outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is determined using the weighted average shares of common stock (including DSUs) outstanding during the period, and assumes all potentially dilutive securities were converted into common shares at the earliest date possible. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Alexander’s, Inc.
Paramus, New Jersey
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Alexander’s, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Alexander’s, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 24, 2014, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results, financial condition, results of operations and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Many of the factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict. For a further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2013. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly, any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included therein. There have been no significant changes to these policies during 2014.

Overview
Alexander’s, Inc. (NYSE: ALX) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), incorporated in Delaware, engaged in leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping its properties. All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” and “Alexander’s”, refer to Alexander’s, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are managed by, and our properties are leased and developed by, Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) (NYSE: VNO). We have six properties in the greater New York City metropolitan area.
We compete with a large number of property owners and developers. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of national and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants, the availability and cost of capital, interest rates, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations and legislation, population trends, zoning laws, and our ability to lease, sublease or sell our properties, at profitable levels. Our success is also subject to our ability to refinance existing debt on acceptable terms as it comes due.
Quarter Ended June 30, 2014 Financial Results Summary
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $16,828,000, or $3.29 per diluted share, compared to $13,139,000, or $2.57 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Funds from operations (“FFO”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $24,070,000, or $4.71 per diluted share, compared to $20,315,000, or $3.98 per diluted share for the prior year’s quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Financial Results Summary
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $32,072,000, or $6.28 per diluted share, compared to $27,301,000, or $5.34 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2013. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $46,544,000, or $9.11 per diluted share, compared to $41,654,000, or $8.15 per diluted share for the prior year’s six months.
Square Footage and Occupancy
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our portfolio was comprised of six properties aggregating 2,178,000 square feet that had an occupancy rate of 99.4%.
Financing
On February 28, 2014, we completed a $300,000,000 refinancing of the office portion of 731 Lexington Avenue. The interest-only loan is at LIBOR plus 0.95% (1.10% at June 30, 2014) and matures in March 2017, with four one-year extension options. The proceeds of the new loan and existing cash were used to repay the existing loan and closing costs. In connection therewith, we purchased an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $300,000,000 that caps LIBOR at a rate of 6.0%.
Significant Tenants
Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) accounted for $44,483,000 and $43,322,000, representing 45% of our total revenues in each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. If we were to lose Bloomberg as a tenant, or if Bloomberg were to fail or become unable to fulfill its obligations under its lease, it would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We receive and evaluate certain confidential financial information and metrics from Bloomberg on a semi-annual basis. In addition, we access and evaluate financial information regarding Bloomberg from private sources, as well as publicly available data.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2014, compared to June 30, 2013
Property Rentals
Property rentals were $34,046,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $33,670,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $376,000.
Expense Reimbursements
Tenant expense reimbursements were $15,937,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $13,632,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $2,305,000. This increase was primarily due to higher reimbursable operating expenses and real estate taxes, and a $477,000 true-up of operating expense and real estate tax billings.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $17,150,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $14,550,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $2,600,000. This increase was comprised of higher reimbursable operating expenses and real estate taxes of $1,743,000 and bad debt expense of $857,000.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization was $7,280,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $7,235,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $45,000.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $1,558,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $1,622,000 in the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $64,000. This decrease was primarily due to lower professional fees.
Interest and Other Income, net
Interest and other income, net was $425,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $388,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $37,000. This increase was primarily due to higher dividends on our common shares of The Macerich Company (“Macerich”).
Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense was $7,590,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $11,140,000 in the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $3,550,000. This decrease was primarily due to savings resulting from the refinancing of the office portion of 731 Lexington Avenue on February 28, 2014.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $2,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $4,000 in the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $2,000.

Property rentals were $68,182,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $67,841,000 in the prior year’s six months, an increase of $341,000.
Expense Reimbursements
Tenant expense reimbursements were $31,269,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $28,236,000 in the prior year’s six months, an increase of $3,033,000. This increase was primarily due to higher reimbursable operating expenses and real estate taxes, and a $448,000 true-up of operating expense and real estate tax billings.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $33,640,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $30,157,000 in the prior year’s six months, an increase of $3,483,000. This increase was comprised of higher reimbursable operating expenses and real estate taxes of $2,404,000 and non-reimbursable operating expenses of $1,079,000 (primarily bad debt expense).
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization was $14,541,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $14,458,000 in the prior year’s six months, an increase of $83,000.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $2,745,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2,639,000 in the prior year’s six months, an increase of $106,000. This increase was primarily due to higher professional fees.
Interest and Other Income, net
Interest and other income, net was $826,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $773,000 in the prior year’s six months, an increase of $53,000. This increase was primarily due to higher dividends on our Macerich common shares.
Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense was $17,274,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $22,288,000 in the prior year’s six months, a decrease of $5,014,000. This decrease was primarily due to savings resulting from the refinancing of the office portion of 731 Lexington Avenue on February 28, 2014.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $5,000, in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $7,000 in the prior year’s six months, a decrease of $2,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent on a number of factors including the occupancy level and rental rates of our properties, as well as our tenants’ ability to pay their rents. Our properties provide us with a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that enables us to pay our operating expenses, interest expense, recurring capital expenditures and cash dividends to stockholders. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include our existing cash, proceeds from financings, including mortgage or construction loans secured by our properties and proceeds from asset sales. We anticipate that cash flows from continuing operations over the next twelve months, together with existing cash balances, will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash dividends to stockholders, debt amortization, recurring capital expenditures and development expenditures related to the Rego Park II apartment tower.
We have no debt maturing in 2014. During 2015, $398,246,000 of our debt is scheduled to mature, of which $78,246,000 is cash collateralized. We intend to refinance our maturing debt as it comes due.
Development Project
We have commenced the construction of an apartment tower that will contain approximately 300 units aggregating 250,000 square feet, above our Rego Park II shopping center, which is expected to be completed in 2015. The estimated cost of this project is approximately $125,000,000, of which $23,000,000 has been incurred as of June 30, 2014. There can be no assurance that the project will be completed on schedule, or within budget.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2014
Cash and cash equivalents were $307,929,000 at June 30, 2014, compared to $347,718,000 at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $39,789,000. This decrease resulted from $53,146,000 of net cash used in financing activities and $8,905,000 of net cash used in investing activities, partially offset by $22,262,000 of net cash provided by operating activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $22,262,000 was comprised of net income of $32,072,000 and adjustments for non-cash items of $14,988,000, partially offset by the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $24,798,000 (primarily due to prepaid real estate taxes). The adjustments for non-cash items were comprised of (i) depreciation and amortization of $15,876,000, (ii) stock-based compensation expense of $394,000, partially offset by (iii) straight-lining of rental income of $1,282,000.
Net cash used in investing activities of $8,905,000 was comprised of capital expenditures of $13,362,000 (primarily Rego Park II apartment tower), partially offset by a decrease in restricted cash of $4,457,000.
Net cash used in financing activities of $53,146,000 was primarily comprised of (i) debt repayments of $315,670,000 (primarily repayment of the loan on the office portion of 731 Lexington Avenue) and (ii) dividends paid of $33,213,000, partially offset by (iii) $300,000,000 of proceeds from the refinancing of the office portion of 731 Lexington Avenue.

Cash and cash equivalents were $331,873,000 at June 30, 2013, compared to $353,396,000 at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $21,523,000. This decrease resulted from $36,067,000 of net cash used in financing activities and $1,788,000 of net cash used in investing activities, partially offset by $16,332,000 of net cash provided by operating activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $16,332,000 was comprised of net income of $27,301,000 and adjustments for non-cash items of $13,844,000, partially offset by the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $24,813,000 (primarily due to prepaid real estate taxes). The adjustments for non-cash items were comprised of (i) depreciation and amortization of $15,660,000 and (ii) stock-based compensation expense of $394,000, partially offset by (iii) straight-lining of rental income of $2,210,000.
Net cash used in investing activities of $1,788,000 was comprised of capital expenditures of $3,219,000, partially offset by a decrease in restricted cash of $1,431,000.
Net cash used in financing activities of $36,067,000 was primarily comprised of dividends paid of $28,094,000 and debt repayments of $7,888,000.
Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and all-risk property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $1.7 billion per occurrence, including coverage for acts of terrorism, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties.
Fifty Ninth Street Insurance Company, LLC (“FNSIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, which expires in December 2014. Coverage for acts of terrorism (including NBCR acts) is up to $1.7 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies with no exposure to FNSIC. For NBCR acts, FNSIC is responsible for a $275,000 deductible and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by FNSIC.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.
Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us, except for $75,000,000 of the $320,000,000 mortgage on our 731 Lexington Avenue property, in the event of a substantial casualty, as defined. Our mortgage loans contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties.

Litigation
On June 24, 2014, Sears Roebuck and Co. (“Sears”) filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Vornado and us (and certain of our subsidiaries) with regard to space that Sears leases at our Rego Park I property. Sears alleges that the defendants are liable for harm Sears has suffered as a result of (a) water intrusions into the premises Sears leases, (b) two fires in February 2014 that caused damages to those premises, and (c) alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the premises’ parking garage. Sears asserts various causes of actions for damages and seeks to compel compliance with landlord’s obligations to repair the premises and to provide security, and to compel us to abate a nuisance that Sears claims was a cause of the water intrusions into its premises. In addition to injunctive relief, Sears seeks, among other things, damages of not less than $4 million and future damages it estimates will be not less than $25 million. We intend to defend the claims vigorously; the amount or range of reasonably possible losses, if any, cannot be estimated.
Flushing Property
In 2002, Flushing Expo, Inc. (“Expo”) agreed to purchase the stock of the entity which owns the Flushing property from us (“Purchase of the Property”) and gave us a non-refundable deposit of $1,875,000. Pursuant to a stipulation of settlement, we settled the action Expo brought against us regarding the Purchase of the Property and in June 2011, deposited the settlement amount with the Court, in exchange for which we received a stipulation of discontinuance, with prejudice, as well as general releases. In November 2011, Expo filed another action, this time against our tenant at the Flushing property asserting, among other things, that such tenant interfered with Expo’s Purchase of the Property from us and sought $50,000,000 in damages from our tenant, who sought indemnification from us for such amount. In August 2012, the Court entered judgment denying Expo’s claim for damages. Expo filed a motion to re-argue the decision, which the Court denied on December 7, 2012. Expo appealed the Court’s August 2012 decision, which the Court denied on April 16, 2014.
Paramus
In 2001, we leased 30.3 acres of land located in Paramus, New Jersey to IKEA Property, Inc. The lease has a purchase option in 2021 for $75,000,000. The property is encumbered by a $68,000,000 interest-only mortgage loan with a fixed rate of 2.90%, which matures in October 2018. The annual triple-net rent is the sum of $700,000 plus the amount of debt service on the mortgage loan. If the purchase option is exercised, we will receive net cash proceeds of approximately $7,000,000 and recognize a gain on sale of land of approximately $60,000,000. If the purchase option is not exercised, the triple-net rent for the last 20 years would include debt service sufficient to fully amortize $68,000,000 over the remaining 20-year lease term.
Letters of Credit
Approximately $3,308,000 of standby letters of credit were outstanding as of June 30, 2014.
Other
There are various other legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters in the aggregate will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
22
Funds from Operations (“FFO”)
FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciated real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, extraordinary items and other specified non-cash items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of our net income to FFO is provided below.
FFO for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $24,070,000, or $4.71 per diluted share, compared to $20,315,000, or $3.98 per diluted share for the prior year’s quarter.
FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $46,544,000, or $9.11 per diluted share, compared to $41,654,000, or $8.15 per diluted share for the prior year’s six months.

Fair Value of Debt
The fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $1,078,000,000 and $1,115,000,000, respectively. Our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of the reporting period, may be different from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon the disposition of our financial instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
