Business GENERAL Alexander's, Inc. (the "Company") is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") engaged in leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping properties. Alexander's activities are conducted through its manager, Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado"). Alexander's has seven properties consisting of: Operating properties: (i) the Rego Park I property located on Queens Boulevard and 63rd Road in Rego Park, Queens, New York, which contains a 351,000 square foot building, which is 100% leased to Sears, Circuit City, Bed Bath & Beyond, Marshalls and Old Navy; (ii) the recently renovated Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, New York, which contains 1,100,000 square feet is comprised of a two-level mall containing 477,000 square feet (the "Mall), a 289,000 square foot department store leased to Sears and another anchor department store owned and operated as a Macy's by Federated Department Stores, Inc. ("Federated"); (iii) the Flushing property located at Roosevelt Avenue and Main Street in Flushing, New York, which contains a 177,000 square foot building currently unoccupied; and (iv) the Third Avenue property located at Third Avenue and 152nd Street in the Bronx, New York, which contains a 173,000 square foot building leased to an affiliate of Conway. Non-operating properties to be developed: (v) the Lexington Avenue property which comprises the entire square block bounded by Lexington Avenue, East 59th Street, Third Avenue and East 58th Street in Manhattan, New York; (vi) the Paramus property which consists of 30.3 acres of land located at the intersection of Routes 4 and 17 in Paramus, New Jersey; and (vii) the Rego Park II property, which comprises one and one-half square blocks of vacant land adjacent to the Rego Park I property. The Company has completed the excavation and laying the foundation for its Lexington Avenue property as part of the proposed development of a large multi-use building. The proposed building is expected to be comprised of a commercial portion, which may include a combination of retail stores, offices, hotel space, extended stay residences, residential rentals and parking; and a residential portion, consisting of condominium units. The capital required for the proposed building will be in excess of $650,000,000. If the residential portion of the property is developed, the air rights representing the residential portion would be transferred to a taxable REIT subsidiary, as a REIT is not permitted to sell condominiums without being subject to a 100% excise tax on the gain from the sale of such condominiums. The Company sold its Fordham road property, located in the Bronx, New York, on January 12, 2001. The vacant property contains 303,000 square feet and was sold for $25,500,000 resulting in a gain of $19,000,000. In addition, the Company paid off the mortgage on this property at a discount, which resulted in an extraordinary gain from the early extinguishment of debt of $3,500,000. Sears accounted for 21%, 22% and 28% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of revenues. -3- 4 The Company has completed a renovation of the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center (the "Center") at a total cost of $48,000,000, of which $42,392,000 has been expended as of December 31, 2000. Included in the $48,000,000 is $15,000,000 that the Company agreed to pay Federated to renovate its Macy's store at the Center. This agreement was part of the terms of the acquisition, by the Company, of Federated's 50% interest in the Center in June 1998. The remainder of the Center renovation (the exterior) is expected to be completed in 2001. In the aggregate, Alexander's operating properties do not generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of its expenses. The Company's three non-operating properties (Lexington Avenue, Paramus, and Rego Park II) are in various stages of development. As rents commence from portions of the development property(s) and from the vacant property, the Company expects that cash flow will become positive. The Company estimates that the fair market values of its assets are substantially in excess of their historical cost and that it has additional borrowing capacity. Alexander's continues to evaluate its needs for capital, which may be raised through (a) property specific or corporate borrowing, (b) the sale of securities and (c) asset sales. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that these cash sources will be adequate to fund cash requirements until its operations generate adequate cash flow. The Company is a Delaware corporation with its principal executive office located at 888 Seventh Avenue; New York, New York 10019, telephone 212-894-7000. Relationship with Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado") Vornado owns 33.1% of the Company's Common Stock at December 31, 2000, of which 41,500 share were acquired on March 31, 2000 and 10,400 shares were acquired on April 11, 2000. The Company is managed by, and its properties are redeveloped and leased by Vornado, pursuant to agreements with a one-year term expiring in March of each year which are automatically renewable. The annual management fee payable by the Company to Vornado is equal to the sum of (i) $3,000,000, (ii) 3% of the gross income from the Mall, plus (iii) 6% of development costs with minimum guaranteed fees of $750,000 per annum. The leasing agreement provides for the Company to pay a fee to Vornado equal to (i) 3% of the gross proceeds, as defined, from the sale of an asset and (ii) in the event of a lease or sublease of an asset, 3% of lease rent for the first ten years of a lease term, 2% of lease rent for the eleventh through the twentieth years of a lease term and 1% of lease rent for the twenty-first through thirtieth year of a lease term, subject to the payment of rents by tenants. Such amount is payable annually in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000, until the present value of such installments (calculated at a discount rate of 9% per annum) equals the amount that would have been paid had it been paid on September 21, 1993, or at the time the transactions which gave rise to the Commissions occurred, if later. At December 31, 2000 the Company does not owe Vornado any leasing fees. Pursuant to the leasing agreement, 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. At December 31, 2000, the Company is indebted to Vornado in the amount of $115,000,000 comprised of (i) $95,000,000 relating to the subordinated tranche of a $115,000,000 secured financing, and (ii) $20,000,000 under the line of credit discussed below. On August 1, 2000, the Company obtained a $50,000,000 secured line of credit from Vornado under the same terms and conditions as the existing $95,000,000 loan from Vornado, including the interest rate of 15.72%. The maturity date of the existing $95,000,000 loan has been extended to March 15, 2002, which is also the maturity date of the new line of credit. The interest rate on the loan and line of credit will reset on March 15, 2001, using the same spread to treasuries as presently exists. The proceeds of the secured line of credit are being used for general corporate purposes including continuing to fund the real estate development costs at its Lexington Avenue property. It is expected that a construction loan will be obtained to finance the development of the Lexington Avenue property. These loans are secured by liens on all of the Company's assets and/or pledges of the stock of subsidiaries owning the assets and/or guarantees of such subsidiaries and the parent. The liens do not cover the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center and Rego Park I and are subordinate to first mortgages and a $20,000,000 bank term loan. Vornado is a fully integrated REIT with significant experience in the ownership, development, leasing, operation and management of retail and office properties. -4- 5 Steven Roth is Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, the Managing General Partner of Interstate Properties ("Interstate") and Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado. At December 31, 2000, Mr. Roth, Interstate and the other two general partners of Interstate, David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr. (who are also directors of the Company and trustees of Vorndao) own, in the aggregate, 27.5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, and 17.7% of the outstanding common shares of beneficial interest of Vornado. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS In June 1997, the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center (the "Center"), commissioned an Environmental Study and Contamination Assessment Site Investigation (the Phase II "Study") to evaluate and delineate environmental conditions disclosed in a Phase I study. The results of the Study indicate the presence of petroleum and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate contamination in the soil and groundwater. The Company has delineated the contamination and has developed a remediation approach. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYDEC") has not yet approved the remediation approach. The Company accrued $2,000,000 in previous years ($1,678,000 has been paid as of December 31, 2000) for its estimated obligation with respect to the clean up of the site, which includes costs of (i) remedial investigation, (ii) feasibility study, (iii) remedial design, (iv) remedial action and (v) professional fees. If the NYDEC insists on a more extensive remediation approach, the Company could incur additional obligations. The majority of the contamination may have resulted from activities of third parties; however, the sources of the contamination have not been fully identified. Although the Company intends to pursue all available remedies against any potentially responsible third parties, there can be no assurance that such parties will be identified, or if identified, whether these potentially responsible third parties will be solvent. In addition, the costs associated with pursuing any potentially responsible parties may be cost prohibitive. The Company has not recorded an asset as of December 31, 2000 for potential recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties. Compliance with applicable provisions of federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment have not had, and, although there can be no assurance, are not expected to have, a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. COMPETITION The Company conducts its real estate operations in the New York metropolitan area, a highly competitive market. The Company's success depends upon, among other factors, the trends of the 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, income tax laws, governmental regulations and legislation, population trends, the market for real estate properties in the New York metropolitan area, zoning laws and the ability of the Company to lease, sublease or sell its properties at profitable levels. The Company competes with a large number of real estate property owners. In addition, although the Company believes that it will realize significant value from its properties over time, the Company anticipates that it may take a number of years before all of its properties generate cash flow at or near anticipated levels. The Company's success is also subject to its ability to finance its development and to refinance its debts as they come due. EMPLOYEES The Company currently has one corporate employee and 77 property level employees. -5- 6 Item 2.

The existing 351,000 square foot building was redeveloped in 1996 and is fully leased to Sears, Circuit City, Bed Bath & Beyond, Marshalls and Old Navy. In addition, in conjunction with the redevelopment, a multi-level parking structure was constructed which provides paid parking spaces for approximately 1,200 vehicles.

The capital required for the proposed building will be in excess of $650,000,000.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations OVERVIEW The Company had net income of $5,197,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to net income of $5,524,000 in the prior year. Net income for 1999 is after a charge of $4,877,000 resulting from the write-off of the asset arising from the straight-lining of rents primarily due to Caldor's rejection of its Flushing lease. Details of the changes in the components of net income are discussed in the comparison of the years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 below. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Years Ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 The Company's revenues, which consist of property rentals and tenant expense reimbursements were $63,965,000 in 2000, compared to $64,390,000 in 1999, a decrease of $425,000. Property rentals were $43,173,000 in 2000, compared to $44,232,000 in 1999, a decrease of $1,059,000. This decrease resulted primarily from Caldor's rejection of its Flushing lease effected March 29, 1999. Tenant expense reimbursements were $20,792,000 in 2000, compared to $20,158,000 in 1999, an increase of $634,000. This increase resulted primarily from higher reimbursements for a portion of the increased fuel costs of the utility plant at the Company's Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center; partially offset from a change made in the first quarter of 2000, in the method of allocating an anchor tenant's share of parking lot expenses at the Rego Park I property (which covered a number of years). Operating expenses were $29,040,000 in 2000, compared to $33,081,000 in 1999, a decrease of $4,041,000. This decrease resulted primarily from: (i) $4,877,000 representing the write-off of the asset arising from the straight-lining of rents due to Caldor's rejection of its Flushing lease in 1999, (ii) a decrease in repairs and maintenance of $1,243,000 in 2000, partially offset by an increase in expenses of the utility plant at the Company's Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center in the current year resulting from higher fuel costs. General and administrative expenses were $3,885,000 in 2000, compared to $3,692,000 in 1999, an increase of $193,000 primarily as a result of higher professional fees. Interest and debt expense was $21,424,000 in 2000, compared to $17,647,000 in 1999, an increase of $3,777,000. This increase resulted from (i) an increase in average debt outstanding of $61,268,000, and (ii) an increase in average interest rates from 8.50% to 10.07%, substantially offset by (iii) an increase in capitalized interest relating to the Company's development properties. Years Ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 The Company's revenues, which consist of property rentals, tenant expense reimbursements and equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture (prior to 1999) were $64,390,000 in 1999, compared to $51,663,000 in 1998, an increase of $12,727,000. -13- 14 Property rentals were $44,232,000 in 1999, compared to $35,151,000 in 1998, an increase of $9,081,000. This increase resulted from:
Effective Date --------- Acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Kings Plaza Mall June 1998 $ 11,130,000 Rent from new tenants Various 1,116,000 Caldor's rejection of its Flushing lease April 1999 (2,532,000) Closure of parking operations at the Lexington Avenue property (633,000) ------------- $ 9,081,000 =============
Tenant expense reimbursements were $20,158,000 in 1999, compared to $13,993,000 in 1998, an increase of $6,165,000. This increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Kings Plaza Mall and the resulting consolidation of its operations after June 18, 1998. The decrease in equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture resulted from the consolidation of the Mall's operations in 1998 as noted above. Operating expenses were $33,081,000 in 1999, compared to $20,132,000 in 1998, an increase of $12,949,000. Of this increase (i) $9,254,000 primarily resulted from the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Kings Plaza Mall and the resulting consolidation of the Mall's operations after June 18, 1998 and (ii) $4,877,000 resulted from the write-off of the asset arising from the straight-lining of rents primarily due to Caldor's rejection of its Flushing lease in 1999, partially offset by a decrease in real estate tax, repairs and maintenance and parking garage expenses. General and administrative expenses were $3,692,000 in 1999, compared to $4,079,000 in 1998, a decrease of $387,000 primarily as a result of lower professional fees. Depreciation and amortization expense was $5,441,000 in 1999 compared to $4,289,000 in 1998, an increase of $1,152,000 primarily as a result of the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Kings Plaza Mall and the resulting consolidation of its operations after June 18, 1998. In September 1998, the Company wrote-off $15,096,000 resulting from the razing of the building formerly located at the Lexington Avenue site. Interest and debt expense was $17,647,000 in 1999, compared to $15,115,000 in 1998, an increase of $2,532,000. This increase resulted primarily from (i) higher average debt, partially offset by (ii) a decrease in the average interest rate and (iii) an increase in capitalized interest relating to the Company's development properties. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES In the aggregate, Alexander's operating properties do not generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of its expenses. The Company's three non-operating properties (Lexington Avenue, Paramus, and Rego Park II) are in various stages of development. As rents commence from portions of the development property(s) and from the vacant property, the Company expects that cash flow will become positive. The Company may develop a shopping center of approximately 550,000 square feet on the Paramus Property. The estimated cost of such development is approximately $100,000,000. The Company has received municipal approvals on tentative plans to redevelop the site. No development plans have been finalized. The Company has completed the excavation and laying the foundation for its Lexington Avenue property as part of the proposed development of a large multi-use building. The proposed building is expected to be comprised of a commercial portion, which may include a combination of retail stores, offices, hotel space, extended stay residences, residential rentals and parking; and a residential portion, consisting of condominium units. In connection therewith, the Company let contracts for $28,000,000 to undertake the excavation and laying the -14- 15 foundation for the proposed development. $26,839,000 has been paid as of December 31, 2000. The capital required for the proposed building will be in excess of $650,000,000. If the residential portion of the property is developed, the air rights representing the residential portion would be transferred to a taxable REIT subsidiary, as a REIT is not permitted to sell condominiums without being subject to a 100% excise tax on the gain from the sale of such condominiums. The Company sold its Fordham road property, located in the Bronx, New York, on January 12, 2001. The vacant property contains 303,000 square feet and was sold for $25,500,000 resulting in a gain of $19,100,000. In addition, the Company paid off the $21,263,000 mortgage on this property at a discount, which resulted in an extraordinary gain from the early extinguishment of debt of $3,500,000. At December 31, 2000, the Company is indebted to Vornado in the amount of $115,000,000 comprised of (i) $95,000,000 relating to the subordinated tranche of a $115,000,000 secured financing, and (ii) $20,000,000 under the line of credit discussed below. On August 1, 2000, the Company obtained a $50,000,000 secured line of credit from Vornado under the same terms and conditions as the existing $95,000,000 loan from Vornado, including the interest rate of 15.72%. The maturity date of the existing $95,000,000 loan has been extended to March 15, 2002, which is also the maturity date of the new line of credit. The interest rate on the loan and line of credit will reset on March 15, 2001, using the same spread to treasuries as presently exists. The proceeds of the secured line of credit are being used for general corporate purposes including continuing to fund the real estate development costs at its Lexington Avenue property. It is expected that a construction loan will be obtained to finance the Lexington Avenue property. These loans are secured by liens on all of the Company's assets and/or pledges of the stock of subsidiaries owning the assets and/or guarantees of such subsidiaries and the parent. The liens do not cover the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center and Rego Park I and are subordinate to first mortgages and a $20,000,000 bank term loan. A summary of maturities of debt at December 31, 2000 is as follows:
Year ending December 31, ------------------------ 2001 $ 134,525,000(1) 2002 115,000,000 2003 36,263,000(2) 2004 339,000 2005 735,000
(1) $114,525,000 of this amount relates to a first mortgage loan secured by the Company's Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center (the "Center"). The Company is currently negotiating refinancing the Center with various outside lenders. Based on the historical operating performance of the Center, management believes that it has excess borrowing capacity over the existing mortgage loan. The remaining $20,000,000 is a term loan to a bank which was scheduled to mature on March 15, 2001. This loan has been extended to March 15, 2002. (2) $21,263,000 of this amount was repaid on January 12, 2001 in connection with the sale of the Fordham Road Property. The Company estimates that the fair market values of its assets are substantially in excess of their historical cost and that it has additional borrowing capacity. Alexander's continues to evaluate its needs for capital which may be raised through (a) property specific or corporate borrowing, (b) the sale of securities and (c) asset sales. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that these cash sources will be adequate to fund cash requirements until its operations generate adequate cash flow. -15- 16 CASH FLOWS Year Ended December 31, 2000 Cash provided by operating activities of $10,741,000 was comprised of income after adjustments for non-cash items of $9,737,000, net of the change in operating assets and liabilities of $1,004,000.

The following table reconciles funds from operations and net income:
2000 1999 ------------ ----------- Net income $ 5,197,000 $ 5,524,000 Depreciation and amortization of real property 5,543,000 5,441,000 Straight-lining of property rentals for rent escalations (3,509,000) (3,740,000) Write-off of the asset arising from the straight-lining of rents -- 4,877,000 Leasing fees paid in excess of expense recognized (1,757,000) (2,206,000) ------------ ----------- $ 5,474,000 $ 9,896,000 ============ ===========
Funds from operations does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, which is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable periods. There are no material legal or functional restrictions on the use of funds from operations. Funds from operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management considers funds from operations a relevant supplemental measure of operating performance because it provides a basis for comparison among REITs; however, funds from operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REITs since the Company's method of calculating funds from operations is different from that used by NAREIT. Funds from operations, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income before depreciation and amortization, extraordinary items and gains or losses on sales of real estate. Funds from operations as disclosed above has been modified to adjust for the effect of straight-lining of property rentals for rent escalations and leasing fee expenses. Below are the cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No. 133") which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, effective January 1, 2001. Because the Company does not currently utilize derivative instruments or engage in hedging activities, management does not anticipate that implementation of this statement will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. -17- 18 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had $170,788,000 and $132,161,000 of variable rate debt at weighted average interest rates of 8.36% and 8.43%. In addition, the Company had $197,000,000 in both years of fixed rate debt bearing interest at weighted average interest rates of 12.19% and 10.58%. A one percent increase in the base used to determine the interest rate of the variable rate debt would result in a $1,708,000 decrease in the Company's annual net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 ($.34 per basic and diluted share).

See notes to consolidated financial statements. -24- 25 ALEXANDER'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS Alexander's Inc. (the "Company") is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") engaged in leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping properties. Alexander's activities are conducted through its manager, Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado"). In the aggregate, Alexander's operating properties do not generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of its expenses. The Company's three non-operating properties (Lexington Avenue, Paramus, and Rego Park II) are in various stages of development. As rents commence from portions of the development property(s) and from the vacant property, the Company expects that cash flow will become positive. The Company estimates that the fair market values of its assets are substantially in excess of their historical cost, and that it has additional borrowing capacity. Alexander's continues to evaluate its needs for capital, which may be raised through (a) property specific or corporate borrowing, (b) the sale of securities and (c) asset sales. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that these cash sources will be adequate to fund cash requirements until its operations generate adequate cash flow. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation -- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications to prior year amounts have been made to conform with the current year's presentation. The Company currently operates in one business segment. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents -- The Company includes in cash and cash equivalents both cash and short-term highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents does not include cash restricted for construction financing and operating liabilities which is disclosed separately. -25- 26 ALEXANDER'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Fair Value of Financial Instruments - All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at historical cost which, in management's estimation, based upon an interpretation of available market information and valuation methodologies (including discounted cash flow analyses with regard to fixed rate debt), reasonably approximates their fair values. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition of the Company's financial instruments. Real Estate and Other Property - Real estate and other property is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on buildings and improvements on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from four years to forty years. When real estate and other property is undergoing development activities, all property operating expenses, including interest expense, are capitalized to the cost of the real property to the extent that management believes such costs are recoverable through the value of the property. The Company's properties are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of such property. Such carrying amount would be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect an impairment in the value of the asset. Deferred Lease Expense - The Company capitalizes the costs incurred in connection with obtaining long-term leases. Deferred lease expense is amortized on the straight-line method over the initial terms of the leases. Deferred Debt Expense - The Company capitalizes the costs incurred in connection with obtaining short-term or long-term debt or refinancing existing debt. These costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the initial terms of the debt, which approximates the interest method. Leases - All leases are operating leases whereby rents and reimbursements of operating expenses are recorded, when due, as real estate operating revenue. The straight-line basis is used to recognize rents under leases entered into which provide for varying rents over the lease terms. Income Taxes - The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to continue to qualify as a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Under the Code, the Company's net operating loss ("NOL") carryovers generally would be available to offset the amount of the Company's REIT taxable income that otherwise would be required to be distributed as a dividend to its stockholders. The Company has reported NOL carryovers for federal tax purposes of approximately $146,000,000 at December 31, 2000, expiring from 2005 to 2012. The Company also has investment tax and targeted jobs tax credits of approximately $3,000,000 expiring in 2002 through 2005. The net basis in the Company's assets and liabilities for tax purposes is approximately $84,000,000 lower than the amount reported for financial statement purposes. Amounts Per Share - Basic income (loss) per share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options. Stock options outstanding were not dilutive in any period. Stock Options - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method. Under the intrinsic value method compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted. Compensation cost for stock -26- 27 ALEXANDER'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS options, if any, is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The Company's policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted market price of the Company's stock on the grant date. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Company's stock option plans. 3. ACQUISITION OF KINGS PLAZA MALL In June 1998, the Company increased its interest in the Kings Plaza Mall (the "Mall") to 100% by acquiring Federated Department Store's ("Federated") 50% interest. The purchase price was approximately $28,000,000, which was paid in cash, plus the Company agreed to pay Federated $15,000,000 to renovate its Macy's store in the Mall ($14,500,000 has been paid as of December 31, 2000) and Federated agreed to certain modifications to the Kings Plaza Operating Agreement. Prior to June 18, 1998, the Company owned a 50% interest in the Mall and had accounted for this investment under the equity method. The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase cost was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on the fair value as of the closing date. Set forth below is the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations data for the Company for the year ended December 31, 1998 as if the acquisition of the Kings Plaza Mall and the related financing transactions had occurred on January 1, 1997. Revenues $ 63,309 =========== Net loss $ (2,859) ============ Net loss per share - basic and diluted $ (.57) ===========
Summary financial information for the Kings Plaza Mall prior to the acquisition is as follows:
For The Period From January 1, 1998 to June 17, 1998 ---------------- Operating revenue $ 14,085,000 ------------- Operating costs 8,481,000 Depreciation and amortization 715,000 Interest expense 283,000 ------------- 9,479,000 ------------- Operating income $ 4,606,000 ============= Assets $ 31,000,000 ============= Liabilities $ 12,300,000 =============
The Company has completed a renovation of the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center (the "Center") at a total cost of $48,000,000, of which $42,392,000 has been expended as of December 31, 2000. Included in the $48,000,000 is the $15,000,000 discussed above that the Company agreed to pay Federated to renovate its Macy's store at the Center. The remainder of the Center renovation (the exterior) is expected to be completed in 2001. -27- 28 ALEXANDER'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4. DEBT Debt comprises:
December 31, ------------ 2000 1999 ---- ---- Term loan to Vornado (1) $115,000,000 $ 95,000,000 Term loan to bank (1) 20,000,000 20,000,000 First mortgage loan, secured by the Company's Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center (2) 114,525,000 95,676,000 First mortgage loan secured by the Company's Rego Park I Shopping Center (3) 82,000,000 82,000,000 First mortgage loan, secured by the Company's Fordham Road property (4) 21,263,000 21,485,000 Secured note (5) 15,000,000 15,000,000 ------------ ------------ $367,788,000 $329,161,000 ============ ============
(1) At December 31, 2000, the Company is indebted to Vornado in the amount of $115,000,000 comprised of (i) $95,000,000 relating to the subordinated tranche of a $115,000,000 secured financing and (ii) $20,000,000 under the line of credit discussed below. On August 1, 2000, the Company obtained a $50,000,000 secured line of credit from Vornado under the same terms and conditions as the existing $95,000,000 loan from Vornado, including the interest rate of 15.72%. The maturity date of the existing $95,000,000 loan has been extended to March 15, 2002, which is also the maturity date of the new line of credit. The interest rate on the loan and line of credit will reset on March 15, 2001, using the same spread to treasuries as presently exists. The proceeds of the secured line of credit are being used for general corporate purposes including continuing to fund the real estate development costs at its Lexington Avenue property. The interest rate on the bank loan is LIBOR plus 1.85% (8.56% at December 31, 2000). The term loan to the bank which was scheduled to mature on March 15, 2001, has been extended to March 15, 2002. In addition, the interest rate will reset on March 15, 2001 using the same spread to LIBOR as presently exists. The loans are secured by liens on all of the Company's assets and/or pledges of the stock of subsidiaries owning the assets and/or guarantees of such subsidiaries and the parent. The liens do not cover the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center and Rego Park I and are subordinate to first mortgages. The Vornado lien is subordinate to the bank's. The Vornado loan is prepayable quarterly without penalty. Under the terms of the loans, no dividends can be paid unless required to maintain REIT status. -28- 29 ALEXANDER'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (2) The Company's mortgage loan, which is an obligation of a wholly-owned subsidiary, matures on June 1, 2001 and is secured by a mortgage on the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center and guaranteed by the Company. The loan bears interests at LIBOR plus 1.25% (8.06% at December 31, 2000). (3) The Company's mortgage loan, which is an obligation of a wholly-owned subsidiary, matures in May, 2009 and is secured by a mortgage on the Rego Park I property and guaranteed by the Company. The loan bears interests at 7.25%. Amortization of principal begins in July 2004 on a 30-year schedule. (4) The Company's $21,263,000, an obligation of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company collateralized by the Fordham Road property, was scheduled to mature on February 24, 2000. The mortgage loan was extended for an additional three-years to April 17, 2003. Under the terms of the extension, interest accrues at LIBOR plus 1.50% in the first two years and LIBOR plus 1.75% in year three which is a reduction of the original terms of LIBOR plus 4.25%. (8.30% at December 31, 2000) interest is payable at LIBOR for the entire term. The spread over LIBOR accrues during the extended term and increases the principal balance. This obligation has been satisfied in connection with the sale of the Fordham Road property on January 12, 2001. See "Subsequent Event." (5) The note is secured by a third mortgage on the Lexington Avenue property. The note bears annual interest at Prime plus 1% (10.50% at December 31, 2000) and is prepayable without penalty. A summary of maturities of debt at December 31, 2000, is as follows:
Year Ending December 31, ------------------------ 2001 $ 134,525,000(A) 2002 115,000,000 2003 36,263,000(B) 2004 339,000 2005 735,000
(A) $114,525,000 of this amount relates to a first mortgage loan secured by the Company's Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center (the "Center"). The Company is currently negotiating refinancing the Center with various outside lenders. Based on the historical operating performance of the Center, management believes that it has excess borrowing capacity over the existing mortgage loan. The remaining $20,000,000 is a term loan to a bank which was scheduled to mature on March 15, 2001. This loan has been extended to March 15, 2002. (B) $21,263,000 of this amount was repaid on January 12, 2001 in connection with the sale of the Fordham Road property. All of the Company's debt is secured by mortgages and/or pledges of the stock of subsidiaries holding the properties. The net carrying value of real estate collateralizing the debt amounted to $346,051,000 at December 31, 2000. -29- 30 ALEXANDER'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5. LEASES As Lessor The Company leases properties to tenants. The rental terms for the properties leased range from 5 years to approximately 30 years. The leases provide for the payment of fixed base rentals payable monthly in advance and for the payment by the lessees of additional rents based on a percentage of the tenants' sales as well as reimbursements of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance. Future base rental revenue under these noncancellable operating leases is as follows:
Year Ending Total December 31, Amounts ------------ ------- 2001 $ 31,238,000 2002 30,528,000 2003 31,053,000 2004 30,999,000 2005 30,565,000 Thereafter 310,975,000
Included in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 is $4,877,000 resulting from the write-off of the asset arising from the straight-line of rents primarily as a result of Caldor's rejection of its Flushing lease in 1999. Sears accounted for 21%, 22% and 28% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of revenues -30- 31 ALEXANDER'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As Lessee The Company is a tenant under long-term leases. Future minimum lease payments under the operating leases are as follows:
Year Ending Total December 31, Amounts ------------ ------- 2001 $ 416,000 2002 416,000 2003 416,000 2004 416,000 2005 416,000 Thereafter 5,264,000
Rent expense was $416,000, $416,000 and $376,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Steven Roth is Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, the Managing General Partner of Interstate Properties ("Interstate") and Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado. At December 31, 2000, Mr. Roth, Interstate and the other two general partners of Interstate, David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr. (who are also directors of the Company and trustees of Vorndao) own, in the aggregate, 27.5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, and 17.7% of the outstanding common shares of beneficial interest of Vornado. The Company is managed by and its properties are redeveloped and leased by Vornado, pursuant to agreements with a one-year term expiring in March of each year which are automatically renewable. The annual management fee payable by the Company to Vornado is equal to the sum of (i) $3,000,000, (ii) 3% of the gross income from the Kings Plaza Mall, plus (iii) 6% of development costs with minimum guaranteed fees of $750,000 per annum. The leasing agreement provides for the Company to pay a fee to Vornado equal to (i) 3% of the gross proceeds, as defined, from the sale of an asset, and (ii) in the event of a lease or sublease of an asset, 3% of lease rent for the first ten years of a lease term, 2% of lease rent for the eleventh through the twentieth years of a lease term and 1% of lease rent for the twenty-first through thirtieth year of a lease term, subject to the payment of rents by tenants. Such amount is payable annually in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000, until the present value of such installments (calculated at a discount rate of 9% per annum) equals the amount that would have been paid had it been paid on September 21, 1993, or at the time the transactions which gave rise to the Commissions occurred, if later. At December 31, 2000 the Company does not owe Vornado any leasing fees. Pursuant to the leasing agreement, 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. -31- 32 ALEXANDER'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company owes Vornado $115,000,000. The Company incurred interest on the loan of $15,934,000, $7,857,000 and $6,486,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company let contracts for $28,000,000 to undertake the excavation, clearing and preparation of the Lexington Avenue property for the proposed development of a large multi-use building. As of December 31, 2000, $26,839,000 has been paid. In June 1997, the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center (the "Center"), commissioned an Environmental Study and Contamination Assessment Site Investigation (the Phase II "Study") to evaluate and delineate environmental conditions disclosed in a Phase I study. The results of the Study indicate the presence of petroleum and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate contamination in the soil and groundwater. The Company has delineated the contamination and has developed a remediation approach. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYDEC") has not yet approved the remediation approach. The Company accrued $2,000,000 in previous years ($1,678,000 has been paid as of December 31, 2000) for its estimated obligation with respect to the clean up of the site, which includes costs of (i) remedial investigation, (ii) feasibility study, (iii) remedial design, (iv) remedial action and (v) professional fees. If the NYDEC insists on a more extensive remediation approach, the Company could incur additional obligations. The majority of the contamination may have resulted from activities of third parties; however, the sources of the contamination have not been fully identified. Although the Company intends to pursue all available remedies against any potentially responsible third parties, there can be no assurance that such parties will be identified, or if identified, whether these potentially responsible third parties will be solvent. In addition, the costs associated with pursuing any potentially responsible parties may be cost prohibitive. The Company has not recorded an asset as of December 31, 2000 for potential recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to, nor is their property the subject of, any material pending legal proceeding other than routine litigation incidental to their businesses. The Company believes that these legal actions will not be material to the Company's financial condition or results of operations Letters of Credit Approximately $900,000 in standby letters of credit were issued at December 31, 2000. 8. STOCK OPTION PLAN Under the Omnibus Stock Plan (the "Plan"), approved by the Company's stockholders on May 22, 1996, directors, officers, key employees, employees of Vornado Realty Trust and any other person or entity as designated by the Omnibus Stock Plan Committee are eligible to be granted incentive share options and non-qualified options to purchase common shares. Options granted are at prices equal to 100% of the market price of the Company's shares at the date of grant, vest on a graduated basis, becoming fully vested 36 months after grant and expire ten years after grant. The Plan also provides for the award of Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Shares and Restricted Stock, as defined. -32- 33 ALEXANDER'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS If compensation cost for Plan awards had been determined based on fair value at the grant dates, net income and income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts below, for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998:
2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Net income (loss): As reported $ 5,197,000 $ 5,524,000 $ (6,055,000) Pro forma $ 3,662,000 $ (1,414,000) $ (8,009,000) Net income (loss) per share applicable to common shareholders: As reported $ 1.04 $ 1.10 $ (1.21) Pro forma $ .73 $ (.28) $ (1.60)
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using an option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in the period ended December 31, 1999 (no options were granted in the year ended December 31, 2000 or 1998):
1999 ---- Expected Volatility 38% Expected Life 5 years Risk-free interest rate 6.45% Expected dividend yield 0%
A summary of the Plan's status, and changes during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, are presented below:

-33- 34 ALEXANDER'S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS On June 5, 2000, the Board of Directors approved the conversion of 850,000 stock options of two officers/directors into equivalent stock appreciation rights (SARs). The SARs have the same vesting terms and strike prices as the options. Accounting for SARs is reflected in the statement of operations, whereas the accounting for stock options is not.
