HRPT PROPERTIES TRUST

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in thousands, except share data)

 

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of HRPT Properties Trust and its subsidiaries have been prepared without audit.  Certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted.  We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  However, the accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.  All intercompany transactions and balances between HRPT Properties Trust and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

Note 2.  Real Estate Properties

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we acquired 21 office properties for $198,700, plus closing costs, 8,180 square feet of industrial lands for $115,500, plus closing costs, and funded $85,256 of improvements to our owned properties using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  We also sold three industrial properties for $20,500, less closing costs, and recognized gains of $7,592 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Note 3.  Indebtedness

 

In January 2005 we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility to increase the available borrowing amount from $560,000 to $750,000 and to extend the maturity date from April 2006 to April 2009, with an option to extend the maturity by one additional year.  The annual interest payable for amounts drawn under the facility was reduced from LIBOR plus 0.80% to LIBOR plus 0.65%.  In certain circumstances, the amount of unsecured borrowings available under this facility may be increased to $1.5 billion.  Certain financial and other covenants in the facility were also amended to reflect current market conditions.  The interest rate on this facility averaged 3.8% and 2.2% per annum for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  As of September 30, 2005, we had $346,000 outstanding and $404,000 available under our revolving credit facility.  Our public debt indentures, credit facility and term loan agreements contain a number of financial and other covenants, including a credit facility and term loan covenant which limits the amount of aggregate distributions on common shares to 90% of operating cash flow available for shareholder distributions as defined in the credit facility and term loan agreements.

 

In February 2005 we repaid our $100,000 6.7% senior notes that were due in February 2005.  In July and August 2005 we repaid $84,913 of mortgage debt that was secured by 35 properties.  These repayments were funded by drawing on our revolving credit facility.

 

Note 4.  Shareholders’ Equity

 

In March 2005 we issued 22,500,000 common shares in a public offering, raising net proceeds of $259,017, and in September 2005 we issued 10,000,000 common shares in a public offering, raising net proceeds of $124,957.  Net proceeds from these offerings were used to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

At September 30, 2005, we owned 8,660,738 common shares, or 12.6%, of Senior Housing with a carrying value of $105,779 and a market value, based on quoted market prices, of $164,554, and 4,000,000 common shares, or 5.6%, of Hospitality Properties with a carrying value of $99,719 and a market value, based on quoted market prices, of $171,440.  Our two managing trustees are also managing trustees of Senior Housing and Hospitality Properties and one of our managing trustees and our executive vice president are beneficial owners of Reit Management & Research LLC, or RMR, which is the investment manager to us, Senior Housing and Hospitality Properties.  We account for our investments in Senior Housing and Hospitality Properties using the equity method of accounting.

 

In June 2005 Hospitality Properties completed a public offering of an aggregate of 4,700,000 common shares for $44.39 per share, raising net proceeds of $199,233.  As a result of this transaction, our ownership percentage in Hospitality Properties was reduced from 6.0% prior to this transaction to 5.6% after this transaction, and we recognized a gain of $4,708 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Note 8.  Subsequent Events

 

In October 2005 we declared a distribution of $0.21 per common share, or approximately $44,000, to be paid on or about November 22, 2005, to shareholders of record on October 21, 2005.  We also announced a distribution on our Series A preferred shares of $0.6172 per share, or $4,938, and a distribution on our Series B preferred shares of $0.5469 per share, or $6,563, which will be paid on or about November 15, 2005, to our Series A and B preferred shareholders of record as of November 1, 2005.

 

In October 2005 we issued $250,000 unsecured senior notes in a public offering, raising net proceeds of approximately $247,300.  The notes bear interest at 5.75%, require semi-annual interest payments and mature in November 2015.  Net proceeds from this offering were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

 

In November 2005 we purchased one property with an aggregate of 100 square feet of space for $13,409, excluding closing costs, with cash on hand.

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

 

The following discussion and tables should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this quarterly report and our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

OVERVIEW

 

We primarily own office buildings located throughout the United States.  We also own approximately 18 million square feet of leased industrial and commercial lands in Oahu, Hawaii and have minority holdings in shares of our former subsidiaries, Senior Housing and Hospitality Properties.

 

Property Operations

 

As of September 30, 2005, 93.9% of our total square feet was leased, compared to 93.1% leased as of September 30, 2004.  These results include an increase in occupancy of 0.7% at properties we owned continuously since July 1, 2004.  Occupancy data is as follows (square feet in thousands):

(1)        Based on properties owned continuously since July 1, 2004.

(2)        Percent leased includes (i) space being fitted out for occupancy pursuant to signed leases and (ii) space which is leased, but is not occupied or is being offered for sublease by tenants.

 

During the past twelve months, the decline in occupancies at some of our continuously owned buildings which we previously experienced has stopped.  Also, quoted office rent rates in most of the areas where our properties are located seem to have stabilized.  However, we continue to experience strong competition to retain and attract office tenants in the form of landlord funded tenant build outs and increased leasing commissions payable to tenant brokers.  These build out costs and leasing commissions are generally amortized as a reduction of our income during the terms of the affected leases.  We do not know how long it may take the present market conditions affecting our properties to change.  At this time, however, we believe that modest declines in effective rents will continue to depress the financial results at some of our currently owned office buildings for at least one year.  There are too many variables for us to reasonably project what the financial impact of these market conditions will be on our results for future periods.

During the third quarter of 2005 we signed new leases for 512,000 square feet and lease renewals for 404,000 square feet, at weighted average rental rates that were 5% below rents previously charged for the same space.  Average lease terms for leases signed during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, were 5.9 years.  Commitments for tenant improvement and leasing commission costs for leases signed during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, totaled $14.43 per square foot on a weighted average basis.  Rental rates at which available space may be relet in the future will depend on prevailing market conditions at that time.  Approximately 18% of our leased square feet are under leases scheduled to expire through December 31, 2007.  Lease expirations by property type as of September 30, 2005, are as follows (in thousands):

Financing Activities

 

In March and September 2005 we issued 22.5 million and 10.0 million common shares, respectively, in public offerings, raising aggregate net proceeds of $384.0 million.  Proceeds from these offerings were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.  In February 2005 we repaid our $100 million 6.7% unsecured senior notes when they became due, and in July 2005 we repaid, at par, $75.0 million of 8.7% mortgage debt due in 2020.  In August 2005 we repaid, at par plus a premium of $168,000, $9.9 million of 8.4% mortgage debt due in 2007.  In connection with this repayment we recognized a loss in the amount of the repayment premium in the third quarter of 2005.  We funded these payments using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Rental income.  Rental income increased for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to our acquisition of 62 properties in 2005, including 8.2 million square feet of leased industrial lands in Oahu, HI, and 136 properties in 2004.  Rental income includes non cash straight line rent adjustments totaling $9.0 million in 2005 and $5.7 million in 2004 and amortization of acquired real estate leases and obligations totaling ($1.5 million) in 2005 and ($1.1 million) in 2004.  Rental income also includes lease termination fees totaling $3.1 million in 2005 and $1.0 million in 2004.

 

Total expenses.  Total expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due to increases in operating expenses and depreciation and amortization expense primarily related to the acquisition of properties in 2005 and 2004.  The increase in general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005, reflects the acquisition of properties plus incentive fees.

 

Interest expense.  Interest expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, reflecting an increase in total debt outstanding which was used primarily to finance acquisitions in 2005 and 2004.  In 2004 we issued $400 million unsecured 6.25% senior notes due 2016; entered into an unsecured $350 million term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus a premium; and assumed $112.3 million of debt in connection with two acquisitions.  The weighted average interest rate on all of our outstanding debt at September 30, 2005 and 2004 was 5.7%.

 

Equity in earnings of equity investments.  Equity in earnings of equity investments decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2005, from the three months ended September 30, 2004, due to lower earnings recognized from our investment in Senior Housing.  The decrease in earnings from Senior Housing is due primarily to our sale in 2004 of 4.1 million Senior Housing common shares we owned.

 

(Loss) income  from discontinued operations.  The 2005 and 2004 (loss) income from discontinued operations represents income from three industrial properties that we sold in May 2005 for net proceeds of $20.1 million.

 

Net income and net income available for common shareholders.  The increase in net income and net income available for common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from the three months ended September 30, 2004, is due primarily to property acquisitions in 2005 and 2004, offset by an increase in interest expense from the issuance of additional debt.  Net income available for common shareholders is net income reduced by preferred distributions.

Rental income.  Rental income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to our acquisition of 62 properties in 2005, including 8.2 million square feet of leased industrial lands in Oahu, HI, and 136 properties in 2004.  Rental income includes non cash straight line rent adjustments totaling $21.3 million in 2005 and $15.0 million in 2004 and amortization of acquired real estate leases and obligations totaling ($5.0) million in 2005 and ($1.1) million in 2004.  Rental income also includes lease termination fees totaling $3.5 million in 2005 and $2.2 million in 2004.

 

Total expenses.  Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, increased from the nine months ended September 30, 2004, due to increases in operating expenses and depreciation and amortization expense primarily related to the acquisition of properties in 2005 and 2004.  The increase in general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, reflects the acquisition of properties plus incentive fees.

 

24



 

Interest expense.  Interest expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, reflecting an increase in total debt outstanding which was used primarily to finance acquisitions in 2005 and 2004.  In 2004 we issued $400 million unsecured 6.25% senior notes due 2016; entered into an unsecured $350 million term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus a premium; and assumed $112.3 million of debt in connection with acquisitions.  The weighted average interest rate on all of our outstanding debt at September 30, 2005 and 2004 was 5.7%.

 

Loss on early extinguishment of debt.  The loss on early extinguishment of debt in 2005 represents the penalty associated with the prepayment of $9.9 million of secured debt.  The loss on early extinguishment of debt in 2004 represents the write off of deferred financing fees associated with the repayment of $143 million of our senior notes due 2013.

 

Equity in earnings of equity investments.  Equity in earnings of equity investments decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from the nine months ended September 30, 2004, due to lower earnings recognized from our investments in Senior Housing and Hospitality Properties.  The decrease in earnings from Senior Housing is due primarily to our sale in 2004 of 4.1 million Senior Housing common shares we owned.  The decrease in earnings from Hospitality Properties reflects our share, totaling $426,000, of impairment losses recognized by Hospitality Properties in 2005.

 

Gain on sale of shares of equity investments.  The 2004 gain on sale of shares of equity investments reflects the sale during January and February 2004 of 3.1 million Senior Housing common shares we owned.

 

Gain on issuance of shares by equity investees.  The 2005 and 2004 gains on issuance of shares by equity investees reflects the issuance of common shares by both Senior Housing and Hospitality Properties at prices above our per share carrying value.

 

(Loss) income from discontinued operations and gain on sale of properties.  The 2005 and 2004 (loss) income from discontinued operations represents income from three industrial properties that we sold in May 2005 for net proceeds of $20.1 million.  We recognized gains on the sale of these properties of $7.6 million.

 

Net income and net income available for common shareholders.  The increase in net income and net income available for common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from the nine months ended September 30, 2004, is due primarily to property acquisitions in 2005 and 2004 and the gain on sale of properties recognized in 2005, offset by the gain on the sale of Senior Housing shares recognized in 2004 and an increase in interest expense in 2005 from the issuance of additional debt in 2005.  Net income available for common shareholders is net income reduced by preferred distributions.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our Operating Liquidity and Resources

 

Our principal sources of funds for current expenses and distributions to shareholders are rents from our properties and distributions received from our equity investments.  This flow of funds has historically been sufficient for us to pay our operating expenses, debt service and distributions.  We believe that our operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our operating expenses, debt service and distribution payments for the foreseeable future.  Our future cash flows from operating activities will depend primarily upon four factors:

 

                  our ability to maintain or improve occupancies and effective rent rates at our continuously owned properties;

                  our ability to restrain operating cost increases at our properties;

                  our continuing receipt of cash distributions from our equity investments; and

                  our ability to purchase new properties which produce positive cash flows from operations.

 

25



 

As discussed above, we believe that present leasing market conditions in some areas where our properties are located may result in modest declines in effective rents at some of our properties for at least the next year.  Recent rises in fuel prices may cause our future operating costs to increase; however, the impact of these increases is expected to be partially offset by pass through operating cost increases to our tenants pursuant to lease terms.  We expect Hospitality Properties and Senior Housing to continue to pay dividends at current rates or with modest increases for the foreseeable future.  We generally do not engage in development activities (except on a build to suit basis for a tenant), and we generally do not purchase turn around properties or properties which do not generate positive cash flows.  Our future purchases of properties which generate positive cash flows can not be accurately projected because such purchases depend entirely upon available opportunities which come to our attention.

 

Cash flows provided by (used for) operating, investing and financing activities were $180.6 million, ($384.2) million and $203.2 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and $160.7 million, ($601.2) million and $455.5 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  Changes in all three categories between 2005 and 2004 are primarily related to property acquisitions and sales in 2005 and 2004, our sale of 3.1 million Senior Housing common shares in 2004, our repayments and issuances of debt obligations and our issuance of common shares in 2005 and 2004.

 

Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Resources

 

In order to fund acquisitions and to accommodate cash needs that may result from timing differences between our receipt of rents and our desire or need to make distributions or pay operating expenses, we maintain an unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of commercial banks.  At September 30, 2005, there was $346 million outstanding and $404 million available under our revolving credit facility, and we had cash and cash equivalents of $21.5 million.  We expect to use cash balances, borrowings under our credit facility and net proceeds of offerings of equity or debt securities to fund future property acquisitions.

When amounts are outstanding on our revolving credit facility and as the maturity dates of our revolving credit facility and term debts approach, we explore alternatives for the repayment of amounts due.  Such alternatives usually include incurring additional term debt and issuing new equity securities.  As of September 30, 2005, we had $1.9 billion available on an effective shelf registration statement.  An effective shelf registration statement allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities.  Although there can be no assurance that we will consummate any debt or equity offerings or other financings, we believe we will have access to various types of financing, including debt or equity offerings, with which to finance future acquisitions and to pay our debt and other obligations.

 

The completion and the costs of our future debt transactions will depend primarily upon market conditions and our own credit ratings.  We have no control over market conditions, but we expect both short and long term debt costs to increase gradually for at least the next few months.  Our credit ratings depend upon evaluations by credit rating agencies of our business practices and plans and, in particular, whether we appear to have the ability to maintain our earnings, to space our debt maturities and to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial performance and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipatable adverse changes.  We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner which will continue to afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities.

 

During 2005 we acquired 8.2 million square feet of industrial lands in Oahu, HI for $115.5 million, plus closing costs, 21 office properties for $198.7 million, plus closing costs, and funded improvements to our owned properties totaling $85.3 million.  These activities were funded using cash on hand, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the debt and equity issuances discussed herein.  In November 2005 we purchased one property for $13.4 million, excluding closing costs, with cash on hand.

At September 30, 2005, we owned 8.7 million, or 12.6%, of the common shares of Senior Housing with a carrying value of $105.8 million and a market value, based on quoted market prices, of $164.6 million, and 4.0 million, or 5.6%, of the common shares of Hospitality Properties with a carrying value of $99.7 million and a market value, based on quoted market prices, of $171.4 million.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we received cash distributions totaling $8.3 million from Senior Housing and $8.6 million from Hospitality Properties.  We use the income statement method to account for the issuance of common shares by Senior Housing and Hospitality Properties.  Under this method, gains and losses reflecting changes in the value of our investments at the date of issuance of additional common shares by Senior Housing and Hospitality Properties are recognized in our income statement.  In 2005 Hospitality Properties completed a public offering of common shares that reduced our ownership percentage from 6.0% to 5.6%.  As a result of this transaction, we recognized a gain of $4.7 million.  On November 4, 2005, the market values of our Senior Housing and Hospitality Properties shares were $155.5 million and $157.2 million, respectively.  In the future we may decide to sell some or all of our remaining Hospitality Properties or Senior Housing shares, based upon several factors including available uses for the sale proceeds and the prices at which sales may be accomplished.

 

In March and September 2005 we issued 22.5 million and 10.0 million common shares, in separate public offerings at $12.10 per share and $13.12 per share, respectively, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $403.5 million.  Net proceeds from these offerings, totaling $384.0 million, were used to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

In January 2005 we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility to increase the available borrowing amount from $560 million to $750 million and to extend the maturity date from April 2006 to April 2009, with an option to extend the maturity by one additional year.  The annual interest payable for amounts drawn under the facility was reduced from LIBOR plus 0.80% to LIBOR plus 0.65%.  In certain circumstances, the amount of unsecured borrowings available under this facility may be increased to $1.5 billion.  Certain financial and other covenants in the facility were also amended to reflect current market conditions.  The interest rate averaged 3.8% per annum for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  As of September 30, 2005, we had $346 million outstanding and $404 million available under our revolving credit facility.  In February 2005 we repaid our $100 million 6.7% senior notes when they became due in February 2005, and in July 2005, we repaid, at par, $75.0 million of 8.7% mortgage debt due in 2020.  In August 2005, we repaid at par plus a premium of $168,000, $9.9 million of 8.4% mortgage debt due in 2007.  In connection with this repayment we recognized a loss in the amount of the repayment premium in the third quarter of 2005.  We funded these payments with cash on hand and by drawing on our revolving credit facility.  In October 2005 we issued $250 million unsecured senior notes in a public offering raising net proceeds of $247.3 million.  The notes bear interest at 5.75%, require semi-annual interest payments and mature in November 2015.  Net proceeds from this offering were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2005, we have no commercial paper, derivatives, swaps, hedges, guarantees, material joint ventures or off balance sheet arrangements.  None of our debt documentation requires us to provide collateral security in the event of a ratings downgrade.

 

30



 

Debt Covenants

 

Our principal debt obligations at September 30, 2005, were our unsecured revolving credit facility, our unsecured $350 million term loan and our $1.3 billion of publicly issued term debt.  Our publicly issued debt is governed by an indenture.  This indenture and related supplements, our revolving credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement contain a number of financial ratio covenants which generally restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties in excess of calculated amounts, require us to maintain a minimum net worth, restrict our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances and require us to maintain other ratios.  At September 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under our indenture and related supplements, our term loan agreement and our revolving credit facility agreement.

 

In addition to our unsecured debt obligations, we have $351.9 million of mortgage notes outstanding at September 30, 2005.

 

None of our indenture and related supplements, our revolving credit facility, our term loan agreement or our mortgage notes contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings.  However, our senior debt rating is used to determine the interest rate payable under our revolving credit facility and our term loan agreement, and the fees payable under our revolving credit facility.

 

Our public debt indenture and related supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debts of $20 million or more.  Similarly, a default on our public debt indenture would be a default under our revolving credit and term loan facilities.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates.  Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates is unchanged since December 31, 2004.  Other than as described below, we do not foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

 

Our unsecured revolving credit facility and our unsecured bank term loan bear interest at floating rates and mature in April and August 2009, respectively.  As of September 30, 2005, we had $346 million outstanding and $404 million available for drawing under our revolving credit facility and $350 million outstanding under our bank term loan.  Repayments under our revolving credit facility may be made at any time without penalty.  Repayments under our bank term loan may be made without penalty beginning in February 2006.  We borrow in U.S. dollars and borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our bank term loan require interest at LIBOR plus a premium.  Accordingly, we are vulnerable to changes in U.S. dollar based short term rates, specifically LIBOR.  A change in interest rates would not affect the value of these floating rate debts but would affect our operating results.  For example, the average interest rate payable on our $350 million term loan and $346 million outstanding on our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2005, was 3.8% per annum.  The following table presents the impact a 10% change in interest rates would have on our floating rate interest expense as of September 30, 2005 (dollars in thousands):

The foregoing table shows the impact of an immediate change in floating interest rates.  If interest rates were to change gradually over time, the impact would be spread over time.  Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the outstanding amount of our floating rate debt.

 

Our $1.3 billion of publicly issued term debt and our $351.9 million of mortgage notes outstanding on September 30, 2005, bear interest at fixed rates.  Changes in market interest rates during the terms of this debt will not affect the interest we are required to pay on this debt.  If all of our fixed rate unsecured and secured notes outstanding at September 30, 2005, were to be refinanced at interest rates which are 10% higher or lower than current interest rates, our per annum interest cost would increase or decrease, respectively, by approximately $10.8 million.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our managing trustees, President and Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, our managing trustees, President and Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
