VORNADO REALTY TRUST

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.

Organization

Vornado Realty Trust is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). All references to “our,” “we,” “us,” the “Company” and “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 90.0% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2007.

 

Substantially all of Vornado Realty Trust’s assets are held through subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, Vornado Realty Trust’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors.

 

2.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. 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 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 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, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado and the Operating Partnership, as well as certain partially owned entities in which we own more than 50%, unless a partner has shared board and management representation and substantive participation rights on all significant business decisions, or 50% or less when (i) we are the primary beneficiary and the entity qualifies as a variable interest entity under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”), or (ii) when we are a general partner that meets the criteria under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5. We consolidate our 47.6% investment in AmeriCold Realty Trust because we have the contractual right to appoint three out of five members of its Board of Trustees, and therefore determined that we have a controlling interest. All significant inter-company amounts have been eliminated. Equity interests in partially owned entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when they do not meet the criteria for consolidation and our ownership interest is greater than 20%. When partially owned investments are in partnership form, the 20% threshold for equity method accounting is generally reduced to 3% to 5%, based on our ability to influence the operating and financial policies of the partnership. Investments accounted for under the equity method are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of the net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions to or from these entities. Investments in partially-owned entities that do not meet the criteria for consolidation or for equity method accounting are accounted for on the cost method.

 

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.

 

Certain prior year balances related to discontinued operations and provision for income taxes have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 establishes new evaluation and measurement processes for all income tax positions taken. FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosures of income tax matters. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of SFAS No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to (i) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s over-funded status or a liability for a plan’s under-funded status; (ii) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions); and (iii) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive income. The adoption of the requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements as of December 31, 2006 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations to determine the funded status as of the end of the fiscal year and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of the measurement date provisions of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 expands opportunities to use fair value measurement in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We have not decided if we will choose to measure any eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value upon the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008.

 

On August 31, 2007, the FASB issued a proposed FASB Staff Position (the “proposed FSP”) that affects the accounting for our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures and Series D-13 convertible preferred units. The proposed FSP requires the initial proceeds from the sale of our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures and Series D-13 convertible preferred units to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting discount must be amortized using the effective interest method over the period the debt is expected to remain outstanding as additional interest expense. The proposed FSP, if adopted, would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and would require retroactive application. The adoption of the proposed FSP on January 1, 2008 would result in the recognition of an aggregate unamortized debt discount of $190,697,000 (as of September 30, 2007) on our consolidated balance sheet and additional interest expense on our consolidated statements of income. Our current estimate of the incremental interest expense, net of minority interest, for each reporting period is as follows:

Acquisitions and Dispositions

 

Acquisitions:

100 West 33rd Street, New York City (the “Manhattan Mall”)

 

On January 10, 2007, we acquired the Manhattan Mall for approximately $689,000,000 in cash. This mixed-use property is located on the entire Sixth Avenue block-front between 32nd and 33rd Streets in Manhattan and contains approximately 1,000,000 square feet, including 812,000 square feet of office space and 164,000 square feet of retail space. Included as part of the acquisition were 250,000 square feet of additional air rights. The property is adjacent to our Hotel Pennsylvania. At closing, we completed a $232,000,000 financing secured by the property, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.55% (5.67% at September 30, 2007) and matures in two years with three one-year extension options. The operations of the office component of the property are included in the New York Office segment and the operations of the retail component are included in the Retail segment. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

 

Bruckner Plaza, Bronx, New York

 

On January 11, 2007, we acquired the Bruckner Plaza shopping center, containing 386,000 square feet, for approximately $165,000,000 in cash. Also included as part of the acquisition was an adjacent parcel which is ground leased to a third party. The property is located on Bruckner Boulevard in the Bronx, New York. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

 

1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street

 

On May 24, 2007, we acquired a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas, a 2,000,000 square foot Manhattan office building, located on the block-front between 51st and 52nd Street on Avenue of the Americas, and the 3- building 555 California Street complex (“555 California Street”) containing 1,800,000 square feet, known as the Bank of America Center, located at California and Montgomery Streets in San Francisco’s financial district. The purchase price for our 70% interest in the real estate was approximately $1.8 billion, consisting of $1.0 billion of cash and $797,000,000 of existing debt. Our share of the debt is comprised of $308,000,000 secured by 1290 Avenue of the Americas and $489,000,000 secured by 555 California Street. Our 70% interest was acquired through the purchase of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies that own, through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and a 69% limited partnership interest in the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

 

In August 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the partnerships referred to above.   Mr. Trump’s claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of, and use of proceeds from, the sale of properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in Manhattan which were formerly owned by the partnerships. In decisions dated September 14, 2005 and July 24, 2006, the Court denied various of Mr. Trump’s motions and ultimately dismissed all of Mr. Trump’s claims, except for his claim seeking access to books and records.  In a decision dated October 1, 2007, the Court determined that Mr. Trump already received access to the books and records to which he was entitled, with the exception of certain documents which the general partners have requested from third parties but have not yet been received. Mr. Trump has sought re-argument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with, his dismissed claims.  

 

In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to indemnify the sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trump’s claim that the general partners of the partnerships we acquired did not sell the rail yards at a fair price or could have sold the rail yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted in the legal action; provided however, that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, the sellers will be required to reimburse us for certain costs related to those claims. We believe that the claims relating to the sale price are without merit. All other allegations are not asserted as a basis for damages and regardless of merit would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions and Dispositions - continued

H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”)

 

In July 2005, we acquired H Street, which owns a 50% interest in real estate assets located in Pentagon City, Virginia and Washington, DC. On April 30, 2007, we acquired the corporations that own the remaining 50% interest in these assets for approximately $383,000,000, consisting of $333,000,000 in cash and $50,000,000 of existing mortgages. These assets include twin office buildings located in Washington, DC, containing 577,000 square feet, and assets located in Pentagon City, Virginia comprised of 34 acres of land leased to three residential and retail operators, a 1,670 unit high-rise apartment complex and 10 acres of vacant land. In conjunction with this acquisition all existing litigation has been dismissed. Beginning on April 30, 2007, we consolidate the accounts of these entities into our consolidated financial statements and no longer account for them on the equity method.

 

Further, we agreed to sell approximately 19.6 of the 34 acres of land to one of the existing ground lessees in two closings over a two-year period for approximately $220,000,000. On May 11, 2007, we closed on the sale of 11 of the 19.6 acres for $104,000,000 and received $5,000,000 in cash and a $99,000,000 note due December 31, 2007. On September 28, 2007, the buyer pre-paid the note in cash and we recognized the net gain on sale of $4,803,000. The balance of the net gain of $11,028,000, representing deferred taxes will be reversed and recognized as income in the first quarter of 2008 when H Street and its affiliates elect to be taxed as REITs. In April 2007, we received letters from the two remaining ground lessees claiming a right of first offer on the sale of the land, one of which has since retracted its letter and reserved its rights under the lease.

 

Our total purchase price for 100% of the assets we will own, after the anticipated proceeds from the land sales, is $409,000,000, consisting of $286,000,000 in cash and $123,000,000 of existing mortgages.

 

Toys “R” Us Stores

 

On May 31, 2007, we acquired four properties from Toys “R” Us (“Toys”) for $12,242,000 in cash, which completed our September 2006 agreement to acquire 43 stores that were closed as part of Toys’ January 2006 store closing program. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Our $1,045,000 share of Toys net gain on this transaction was recorded as an adjustment to the basis of our investment in Toys and was not recorded as income.

 

India Property Fund LP

 

In 2005 and 2006, we invested $94,200,000 in two joint ventures established to acquire, manage and develop real estate in India. On June 14, 2007, we committed to contribute $95,000,000 to a third venture, the India Property Fund, LP (the “Fund”), also established to acquire, manage and develop real estate in India. We satisfied $77,000,000 of our commitment by contributing our interest in one of the above mentioned joint ventures to the Fund. The Fund will seek to raise additional equity. As of September 30, 2007, we own 95% of the Fund and therefore consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, pursuant to the requirements of FIN 46 R.  

 

Shopping Center Portfolio Acquisition

 

On June 26, 2007, we entered into an agreement to acquire a 15 shopping center portfolio aggregating approximately 1.9 million square feet. The properties are located primarily in Northern New Jersey and Long Island, New York. The purchase price is approximately $351,000,000, consisting of approximately $120,000,000 of cash, $89,000,000 of newly issued Vornado Realty L.P. redeemable preferred and common units and $142,000,000 of existing debt. On June 28, 2007, we completed the acquisition of five of the shopping centers for $116,561,000, consisting of $94,179,000 in cash, $15,993,000 in Vornado Realty L.P. preferred units and $6,389,000 of Vornado Realty L.P. common units. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The closing of the remaining shopping centers is expected to occur in two additional tranches and be completed by the end of 2007, subject to customary closing conditions.

 

Dispositions:

Vineland, New Jersey Shopping Center Property

 

On July 16, 2007, we sold our Vineland, New Jersey shopping center property for $2,774,000 in cash, which resulted in a net gain of $1,708,000.

BNA Complex

 

On August 9, 2007, we completed our previously announced sale of Crystal Mall Two, a 277,000 square foot office building located at 1801 South Bell Street in Crystal City, to The Bureau of National Affairs, Inc. (“BNA”), and simultaneously completed the acquisition of a three building complex from BNA. The three buildings acquired contain approximately 300,000 square feet and are located in Washington’s West End between Georgetown and the Central Business District. Vornado received sales proceeds of approximately $103,600,000 from BNA and recognized a net gain of $19,893,000. All of the proceeds from the sale were reinvested in a tax-free “like-kind” exchange in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 1031”). Vornado paid BNA $111,000,000 for the three buildings acquired. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

 

Arlington Plaza

 

On October 17, 2007, we sold Arlington Plaza, a 188,000 square foot office building located in Arlington, Virginia for $71,500,000, resulting in a gain of $33,900,000 which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Derivative Instruments and Related Marketable Securities

Investment in McDonald’s Corporation (“McDonalds”) (NYSE: MCD)

 

As of September 30, 2007, we owned 858,000 common shares of McDonalds. These shares are recorded as marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheets and are classified as “available for sale.” Appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of these shares is recorded as an increase or decrease in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the shareholders’ equity section of our consolidated balance sheets and not recognized in income. At September 30, 2007, based on McDonalds’ September 28, 2007 closing stock price of $54.47 per share, $21,388,000 of appreciation in the value of these shares was included in “accumulated other comprehensive income” on our consolidated balance sheet. During October 2007, we sold all of the McDonalds common shares at a weighted average price of $56.45 per share, resulting in a net gain of $23,090,000 which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

In addition to the above, at July 1, 2007, we owned 13,695,500 McDonalds common shares (“option shares”) through a series of privately negotiated transactions with a financial institution pursuant to which we purchased a call option and simultaneously sold a put option at the same strike price on McDonalds’ common shares. The option shares had a weighted-average strike price of $32.70 per share, or an aggregate of $447,822,000, expired on various dates between July 30, 2007 and September 10, 2007 and provided for net cash settlement. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we settled 10,118,800 option shares and received $234,242,000 in cash. At September 30, 2007, there were 3,576,700 option shares remaining in the derivative position at a price of $54.47 per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized a net gain of $28,190,000 as a result of the above transactions. The aggregate net gain recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $102,803,000. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized net gains of $68,796,000 and $60,581,000, respectively.

 

In October 2007, we settled all of the remaining option shares at a weighted average price of $56.24 per share, resulting in a net gain of $6,018,000 which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

The aggregate net gain realized from inception of our investments in McDonalds in 2005 through final settlement in October 2007 was $289,414,000.

The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income. Because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, we record our 32.8% share of Toys’ net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis.

 

Alexander’s (NYSE: ALX)

 

As of September 30, 2007, we own 32.8% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander’s. We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements, which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable. As of September 30, 2007, Alexander’s owed us $39,368,000 for fees under these agreements.

The Lexington Master Limited Partnership (“Lexington MLP”)

 

On December 31, 2006, Newkirk Realty Trust (NYSE: NKT) was acquired in a merger by Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP), a real estate investment trust. We owned 10,186,991 limited partnership units (representing a 15.8% investment ownership interest) of Newkirk MLP, which was also acquired by Lexington as a subsidiary, and was renamed Lexington MLP. The units in Newkirk MLP, which we accounted for on the equity method, were converted on a 0.80 for 1 basis into limited partnership units of Lexington MLP, which we also account for on the equity method. The Lexington MLP units are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into common shares of Lexington.

 

As of September 30, 2007, we own 8,149,593 limited partnership units of Lexington MLP, or a 7.3% ownership interest. We record our pro rata share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three months ended September 30, 2007 includes our share of Lexington MLP’s net income for its three months ended June 30, 2007.

 

As of September 30, 2007, the market value of our investment in Lexington MLP based on Lexington’s September 28, 2007 closing share price of $20.01, was $163,073,000, or $17,238,000 below the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. We have concluded that as of September 30, 2007, the decline in the value of our investment is not “other-than-temporary.”

We account for our investment in GMH on the equity method and record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis as we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three months ended September 30, 2007 includes our share of GMH’s net income for its three months ended June 30, 2007.

 

As of September 30, 2007, the market value of our investment in GMH and GCT based on GCT’s September 28, 2007 closing share price of $7.75, was $76,377,000, or $27,473,000 below the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.

Represents our 50% share of equity in net income from January 1, 2007 through April 29, 2007. On April 30, 2007, we acquired the remaining 50% interest of these entities and began to consolidate the accounts into our consolidated financial statements and no longer account for this investment under the equity method on a one-quarter lag basis. For further details see footnote 4. Acquisitions and Dispositions.

 

 

(3)

Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, two 50% owned entities that were contesting our acquisition of H Street impeded access to their financial information and accordingly, we were unable to record our pro rata share of their earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized equity in net income of $4,065 and $8,376, respectively, from these entities of which $1,083 and $3,890, respectively, was for the periods from July 20, 2005 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2005.

The loans are subordinate to $2.9 billion of other debt and are secured by the equity interests in four New York City properties: Worldwide Plaza, 1540 Broadway office condominium, 527 Madison Avenue and Tower 56.

 

Manhattan House Loan

 

On October 12, 2007, we were repaid the $42,000,000 outstanding balance of the Manhattan House mezzanine loan.

On May 14, 2007, we completed a $44,978 financing of our 866 UN Plaza property. This interest only loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.40% and matures in May 2009. The net proceeds were used to repay the existing loan and closing costs.

 

 

(2)

On January 26, 2007, we completed a $678,000 financing of our Skyline Complex in Fairfax Virginia, consisting of eight office buildings containing 2,560,000 square feet. The loan bears interest only at 5.74% and matures in February 2017. We retained net proceeds of approximately $515,000 after repaying existing loans and closing costs, including $5,771 for prepayment penalties and defeasance costs which is included in “interest and debt expense” in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

On March 30, 2007, we repaid the $47,011 balance of the Crystal Park 2 mortgage loan.

See Note 4. Acquisitions and Dispositions.

 

 

(5)

On October 11, 2007, we repaid the $51,678 balance of the Crystal Gateway N. and Arlington Plaza mortgage loan.

 

 

(6)

On July 3, 2007, we repaid $21,030 of the $46,837 outstanding balance of the mortgage loan which was secured by the Garfield, Edison and East Brunswick industrial warehouses. We incurred $1,701 for prepayment penalties and defeasance costs which is included in “interest and debt expense” in the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

On March 1, 2007, we repaid the $19,394 balance of the 1999 K Street mortgage loan.

 

 

(8)

On March 21, 2007, Vornado Realty Trust sold $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.85% convertible senior debentures due 2027, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The aggregate net proceeds from this offering, after underwriters’ discounts and expenses, were approximately $1.37 billion. The debentures are redeemable at our option beginning in 2012 for the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Holders of the debentures have the right to require us to repurchase their debentures in 2012, 2017, and 2022 and in certain other limited circumstances. The debentures are convertible, under certain circumstances, for cash and Vornado common shares at an initial conversion rate of 6.1553 common shares per one-thousand dollars of principal amount of debentures. The initial conversion price is $162.46, which represents a premium of 30% over the March 21, 2007 closing price of $124.97 for our common shares. The principal amount of debentures will be settled for cash and the amount in excess of the principal defined as the conversion value will be settled in cash or, at our election, Vornado common shares.

 

   

We are amortizing the underwriters’ discount on a straight-line basis (which approximates the interest method) over the period from the date of issuance to the date of earliest redemption of April 1, 2012. Because the conversion option associated with the debentures, when analyzed as a freestanding instrument, meets the criteria to be classified as equity specified by paragraphs 12 to 32 of EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s own Common Stock,” separate accounting for the conversion option under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” is not appropriate.

 

The net proceeds of the offering were contributed to the Operating Partnership in the form of an inter-company loan and the Operating Partnership guaranteed the payment of the debentures.

On May 11, 2007, we redeemed our $500,000 5.625% senior unsecured notes at the face amount plus accrued interest.

On September 28, 2007, the Operating Partnership entered into a new $1.510 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which was increased by $85,000 on October 12, 2007 and can be increased up to $2.0 billion during the initial term. The new facility has a three-year term with two one-year extension options, bears interest at LIBOR plus 55 basis points (5.67% at September 30, 2007), based on our current credit ratings and requires the payment of an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. Together with the existing $1.0 billion credit facility, we have an aggregate of $2.595 billion of unsecured revolving credit. Vornado is the guarantor of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under both revolving credit agreements.

     
    The existing $1.0 billion credit facility’s financial covenants have been modified to conform to the financial covenants under the new agreement. Significant modifications include (i) changing the definition of Capitalization Value to exclude corporate unallocated general and administrative expenses and to reduce the capitalization rate to 6.5% from 7.5%, and (ii) changing the definition of Total Outstanding Indebtedness to exclude indebtedness of unconsolidated joint ventures. Under the new agreement, “Equity Value” may not be less than Three Billion Dollars; “Total Outstanding Indebtedness” may not exceed sixty percent (60%) of “Capitalization Value;” the ratio of “Combined EBITDA” to “Fixed Charges,” each measured as of the most recently ended calendar quarter, may not be less than 1.40 to 1.00; the ratio of “Unencumbered Combined EBITDA” to “Unsecured Interest Expense,” each measured as of the most recently ended calendar quarter, may not be less than 1.50 to 1.00; at any time, “Unsecured Indebtedness” may not exceed sixty percent (60%) of “Capitalization Value of Unencumbered Assets;” and the ratio of “Secured Indebtedness” to “Capitalization Value,” each measured as of the most recently ended calendar quarter, may not exceed fifty percent (50%). The new agreement also contains standard representations and warranties and other covenants. The terms in quotations in this paragraph are all defined in the new agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 28, 2007, filed on October 4, 2007.

Income Per Share

The following table provides a reconciliation of both net income and the number of common shares used in the computation of (i) basic income per common share - which utilizes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and (ii) diluted income per common share - which includes the weighted average common shares and potentially dilutive share equivalents. Potentially dilutive share equivalents include our Series A convertible preferred shares, employee stock options and restricted share awards, exchangeable senior debentures due 2025 as well as Class A Operating Partnership units owned by minority partners and convertible preferred units.

Stock-based Compensation

Our Share Option Plan (the “Plan”) provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and limited partnership units to certain of our employees and officers.

 

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure and as revised by SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). We adopted SFAS No. 123R, using the modified prospective application, on January 1, 2006. Stock based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 consists of stock option awards, restricted common share and Operating Partnership unit awards and our 2006 Out-Performance Plan awards.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $6,177,000 and $3,245,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively and in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 we recognized $18,797,000 and $7,018,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

At September 30, 2007, our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility had $47,939,000 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. Our revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants, which require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provides for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. At September 30, 2007, AmeriCold’s $30,000,000 revolving credit facility had $19,156,000 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. This facility requires AmeriCold to maintain, on a trailing four-quarter basis, a minimum of $30,000,000 of free cash flow, as defined. Our revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

 

We have made acquisitions and investments in partially owned entities for which we are committed to fund additional capital aggregating $152,995,000. Of this amount, $95,000,000 relates to our equity commitment to the India Property Fund, LP, and $22,800,000 relates to capital expenditures to be funded over the next four years at the Springfield Mall, in which we have a 97.5% interest.

 

On November 10, 2005, we committed to fund the junior portion of up to $30,530,000 of a $173,000,000 construction loan to an entity developing a mixed-use building complex in Boston, Massachusetts, at the north end of the Boston Harbor. We earn current-pay interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 11%. The loan matures in November 2008, with a one-year extension option. As of September 30, 2007, we have funded $13,787,000 of this commitment.

 

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties (which are generally non-recourse to us), senior unsecured notes, exchangeable senior debentures, convertible senior debentures and revolving credit agreements, contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage under these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, or if the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 is not extended past 2007, it could adversely affect our ability to finance and/or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.

 

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.

 

We enter into agreements for the purchase and resale of U.S. government obligations for periods of up to one week. The obligations purchased under these agreements are held in safekeeping in our name by various money center banks. We have the right to demand additional collateral or return of these invested funds at any time the collateral value is less than 102% of the invested funds plus any accrued earnings thereon. We had $60,080,000 and $219,990,000 of cash invested in these agreements at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

 

From time to time, we have disposed of substantial amounts of real estate to third parties for which, as to certain properties, we remain contingently liable for rent payments or mortgage indebtedness that cannot be quantified.

Insurance

 

We carry commercial liability and all-risk property insurance (fire, flood, rental loss, extended coverage, and “acts of terrorism” as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act (“TRIA”) which expires in December 2007) with respect to our assets. We also carry earthquake insurance with respect to our California properties.

 

In June 2007, we formed Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, to act as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage and as a direct insurer for coverage for (i) “certified” acts of terrorism by TRIA, (ii) “non-certified” acts of terrorism, and (iii) nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) “certified acts of terrorism” under TRIA. Coverage under (i) and (ii) are fully reinsured by third party insurance companies with no exposure to PPIC. Prior to the formation of PPIC, we were uninsured for losses under NBCR coverage. Subsequently, we are uninsured for the first $100,000,000 of NBCR coverage under TRIA, for which PPIC would be responsible, and ultimately we would bear such loss.

 

Effective as of September 15, 2007, we increased our property insurance per occurrence limits to $1.5 billion from $1.4 billion, including “certified” acts of terrorism. Coverage for “non-certified” acts of terrorism is $500,000,000 per occurrence with a $500,000,000 annual aggregate limit. Earthquake insurance coverage is $150,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, with a $150,000,000 annual aggregate limit. The first $10,000,000 above the deductible is provided by PPIC on a reinsurance basis.

 

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 future policy years.

Litigation

 

Stop & Shop

 

On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey claiming we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its decision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision. On January 16, 2007 we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007. On April 16, 2007, the Court directed that discovery should be completed by December 2007, with a trial date to be determined thereafter. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop.

 

1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street

 

On May 24, 2007, we acquired a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street. Our 70% interest was acquired through the purchase of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies that own, through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and a 69% limited partnership interest in the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump.

 

In August 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the partnerships referred to above.   Mr. Trump’s claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of, and use of proceeds from, the sale of properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in Manhattan which were formerly owned by the partnerships. In decisions dated September 14, 2005 and July 24, 2006, the Court denied various of Mr. Trump’s motions and ultimately dismissed all of Mr. Trump’s claims, except for his claim seeking access to books and records. In a decision dated October 1, 2007, the Court determined that Mr. Trump already received access to the books and records to which he was entitled, with the exception of certain documents which the general partners have requested from third parties but have not yet been received. Mr. Trump has sought re-argument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with, his dismissed claims.  

 

In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to indemnify the sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trump’s claim that the general partners of the partnerships we acquired did not sell the rail yards at a fair price or could have sold the rail yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted in the legal action; provided however, that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, the sellers will be required to reimburse us for certain costs related to those claims. We believe that the claims relating to the sale price are without merit. All other allegations are not asserted as a basis for damages and regardless of merit would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.

 

There are various other legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Affiliates and Officers and Trustees of the Company

 

On March 13, 2007, Michael Fascitelli, our President and President of Alexander’s, exercised 350,000 of his Alexander’s stock appreciation rights (“SARS”), which were scheduled to expire on March 14, 2007 and received $144.18 for each SAR exercised, representing the difference between Alexander’s stock price of $388.01 (the average of the high and low market price) on the date of exercise and the exercise price of $243.83.

 

On March 26, 2007, Joseph Macnow, Executive Vice President – Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer, repaid to the Company his $2,000,000 outstanding loan which was scheduled to mature in June 2007.

 

Effective as of April 19, 2007, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mitchell Schear, the President of our Washington, DC Office Division. This agreement, which replaced his prior agreement, was approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Trustees and provides for a term of five years and is automatically renewable for one-year terms thereafter. The agreement also provides for a minimum salary of $1,000,000 per year and bonuses and other customary benefits. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, on April 19, 2007, the Compensation Committee granted options to Mr. Schear to acquire 200,000 of our common shares at an exercise price of $119.94 per share. These options vest ratably over three years beginning in 2010 and accelerate on a change of control or if we terminate his employment without cause or by him for breach by us. The agreement also provides that if we terminate Mr. Schear’s employment without cause or by him for breach by us, he will receive a lump-sum payment equal to one time salary and bonus, up to a maximum of $2,000,000.

Segment Information – continued

Notes to preceding tabular information

(1)

EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Vornado Realty Trust

New York, New York

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. 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 the 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 Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. Prior to reclassification for the discontinued operations described in Note 11 to the accompanying financial statements (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 11 that were applied to reclassify the December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (not presented herein) for discontinued operations. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied to the previously issued consolidated balance sheet in deriving the accompanying retrospectively adjusted consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements contained herein 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 performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results, financial condition 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 similar expressions in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements 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. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 under “Forward Looking Statements” and “Item 1.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. 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.

Overview

Business Objective and Operating Strategy

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of how we will perform in the future.

 

We intend to achieve our business objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and executing our operating strategies through:

 

 

Maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit;

 

Investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City and Washington, DC, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation;

 

Acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents;

 

Investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area;

 

Investing in fully-integrated operating companies that have a significant real estate component;

 

Developing and redeveloping our existing properties to increase returns and maximize value; and

 

Providing specialty financing to real estate related companies.

 

Competition

 

We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers. Principal factors of competition are rent charged, attractiveness of location and quality and breadth of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends. Economic growth has been fostered, in part, by low interest rates, Federal tax cuts, and increases in government spending. To the extent economic growth stalls, we may experience lower occupancy rates, which may lead to lower initial rental rates, higher leasing costs and a corresponding decrease in our net income, funds from operations and cash flow. Alternatively, if economic growth is sustained, we may experience higher occupancy rates leading to higher initial rents and higher interest rates causing an increase in our weighted average cost of capital and a corresponding effect on our net income, funds from operations and cash flow. Our net income and funds from operations will also be affected by the seasonality of Toys’ business and competition from discount and mass merchandisers.

Quarter Ended September 30, 2007 Financial Results Summary  

 

Net income applicable to common shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $116,546,000, or $0.74 per diluted share, versus $113,632,000, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Net income for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 includes certain items that affect comparability which are listed in the table on page 42. Net income for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 also includes our share of net gains on sales of real estate of $31,922,000 and $10,842,000, respectively. The aggregate of these items, net of minority interest, increased net income applicable to common shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 by $50,524,000, or $0.31 per diluted share and increased net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 by $52,276,000, or $0.34 per diluted share.

 

Funds from operations applicable to common shares plus assumed conversions (“FFO”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $221,199,000, or $1.35 per diluted share, compared to $204,535,000, or $1.31 per diluted share, for the prior year’s quarter.

We did not recognize income on certain assets with an aggregate carrying amount of approximately $1.1 billion during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, because they were out of service for redevelopment. Assets under development include all or portions of the Bergen Town Center, 2101 L Street, Crystal Mall Two, Crystal Plaza Two, 1999 K Street, 220 Central Park South, 40 East 66th Street, and investments in joint ventures including our Beverly Connection and Wasserman ventures.

Overview (continued)

2007 Acquisitions, Dispositions and Significant Investments

Acquisitions:

100 West 33rd Street, New York City (the “Manhattan Mall”)

 

On January 10, 2007, we acquired the Manhattan Mall for approximately $689,000,000 in cash. This mixed-use property is located on the entire Sixth Avenue block-front between 32nd and 33rd Streets in Manhattan and contains approximately 1,000,000 square feet, including 812,000 square feet of office space and 164,000 square feet of retail space. Included as part of the acquisition were 250,000 square feet of additional air rights. The property is adjacent to our Hotel Pennsylvania. At closing, we completed a $232,000,000 financing secured by the property, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.55% (5.67% at September 30, 2007) and matures in two years with three one-year extension options. The operations of the office component of the property are included in the New York Office segment and the operations of the retail component are included in the Retail segment. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

 

Bruckner Plaza, Bronx, New York

 

On January 11, 2007, we acquired the Bruckner Plaza shopping center, containing 386,000 square feet, for approximately $165,000,000 in cash. Also included as part of the acquisition was an adjacent parcel which is ground leased to a third party. The property is located on Bruckner Boulevard in the Bronx, New York. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

 

1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street

 

On May 24, 2007, we acquired a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas, a 2,000,000 square foot Manhattan office building, located on the block-front between 51st and 52nd Street on Avenue of the Americas, and the 3-building 555 California Street complex (“555 California Street”) containing 1,800,000 square feet, known as the Bank of America Center, located at California and Montgomery Streets in San Francisco’s financial district. The purchase price for our 70% interest in the real estate was approximately $1.8 billion, consisting of $1.0 billion of cash and $797,000,000 of existing debt. Our share of the debt is comprised of $308,000,000 secured by 1290 Avenue of the Americas and $489,000,000 secured by 555 California Street. Our 70% interest was acquired through the purchase of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies that own, through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and a 69% limited partnership interest in the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

 

In August 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the partnerships referred to above.   Mr. Trump’s claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of, and use of proceeds from, the sale of properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in Manhattan which were formerly owned by the partnerships. In decisions dated September 14, 2005 and July 24, 2006, the Court denied various of Mr. Trump’s motions and ultimately dismissed all of Mr. Trump’s claims, except for his claim seeking access to books and records.  In a decision dated October 1, 2007, the Court determined that Mr. Trump already received access to the books and records to which he was entitled, with the exception of certain documents which the general partners have requested from third parties but have not yet been received. Mr. Trump has sought re-argument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with, his dismissed claims.  

 

In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to indemnify the sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trump’s claim that the general partners of the partnerships we acquired did not sell the rail yards at a fair price or could have sold the rail yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted in the legal action; provided however, that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, the sellers will be required to reimburse us for certain costs related to those claims. We believe that the claims relating to the sale price are without merit. All other allegations are not asserted as a basis for damages and regardless of merit would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Overview (continued)

H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”)

 

In July 2005, we acquired H Street, which owns a 50% interest in real estate assets located in Pentagon City, Virginia and Washington, DC. On April 30, 2007, we acquired the corporations that own the remaining 50% interest in these assets for approximately $383,000,000, consisting of $333,000,000 in cash and $50,000,000 of existing mortgages. These assets include twin office buildings located in Washington, DC, containing 577,000 square feet, and assets located in Pentagon City, Virginia comprised of 34 acres of land leased to three residential and retail operators, a 1,670 unit high-rise apartment complex and 10 acres of vacant land. In conjunction with this acquisition all existing litigation has been dismissed. Beginning on April 30, 2007, we consolidate the accounts of these entities into our consolidated financial statements and no longer account for them on the equity method.

 

Further, we agreed to sell approximately 19.6 of the 34 acres of land to one of the existing ground lessees in two closings over a two-year period for approximately $220,000,000. On May 11, 2007, we closed on the sale of 11 of the 19.6 acres for $104,000,000 and received $5,000,000 in cash and a $99,000,000 note due December 31, 2007. On September 28, 2007, the buyer pre-paid the note in cash and we recognized the net gain on sale of $4,803,000. The balance of the net gain of $11,028,000, representing deferred taxes will be reversed and recognized as income in the first quarter of 2008 when H Street and its affiliates elect to be taxed as REITs. In April 2007, we received letters from the two remaining ground lessees claiming a right of first offer on the sale of the land, one of which has since retracted its letter and reserved its rights under the lease.

 

Our total purchase price for 100% of the assets we will own, after the anticipated proceeds from the land sales, is $409,000,000, consisting of $286,000,000 in cash and $123,000,000 of existing mortgages.

 

Toys “R” Us Stores

 

On May 31, 2007, we acquired four properties from Toys “R” Us (“Toys”) for $12,242,000 in cash, which completed our September 2006 agreement to acquire 43 stores that were closed as part of Toys’ January 2006 store closing program. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Our $1,045,000 share of Toys net gain on this transaction was recorded as an adjustment to the basis of our investment in Toys and was not recorded as income.

 

India Property Fund LP

 

In 2005 and 2006, we invested $94,200,000 in two joint ventures established to acquire, manage and develop real estate in India. On June 14, 2007, we committed to contribute $95,000,000 to a third venture, the India Property Fund, LP (the “Fund”), also established to acquire, manage and develop real estate in India. We satisfied $77,000,000 of our commitment by contributing our interest in one of the above mentioned joint ventures to the Fund. The Fund will seek to raise additional equity. As of September 30, 2007, we own 95% of the Fund and therefore consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, pursuant to the requirements of FIN 46 (R) - Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.  

 

Shopping Center Portfolio Acquisition

 

On June 26, 2007, we entered into an agreement to acquire a 15 shopping center portfolio aggregating approximately 1.9 million square feet. The properties are located primarily in Northern New Jersey and Long Island, New York. The purchase price is approximately $351,000,000, consisting of approximately $120,000,000 of cash, $89,000,000 of newly issued Vornado Realty L.P. redeemable preferred and common units and $142,000,000 of existing debt. On June 28, 2007, we completed the acquisition of five of the shopping centers for $116,561,000, consisting of $94,179,000 in cash, $15,993,000 in Vornado Realty L.P. preferred units and $6,389,000 of Vornado Realty L.P. common units. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The closing of the remaining shopping centers is expected to occur in two additional tranches and be completed by the end of 2007, subject to customary closing conditions.

Overview (continued)

Dispositions:

Vineland, New Jersey Shopping Center Property

 

On July 16, 2007, we sold our Vineland, New Jersey shopping center property for $2,774,000 in cash, which resulted in a net gain of $1,708,000.

 

BNA Complex

 

On August 9, 2007, we completed our previously announced sale of Crystal Mall Two, a 277,000 square foot office building located at 1801 South Bell Street in Crystal City, to The Bureau of National Affairs, Inc. (“BNA”), and simultaneously completed the acquisition of a three building complex from BNA. The three buildings acquired contain approximately 300,000 square feet and are located in Washington’s West End between Georgetown and the Central Business District. Vornado received sales proceeds of approximately $103,600,000 from BNA and recognized a net gain of $19,893,000. All of the proceeds from the sale were reinvested in a tax-free “like-kind” exchange in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 1031”). Vornado paid BNA $111,000,000 for the three buildings acquired. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On October 17, 2007, we sold Arlington Plaza, a 188,000 square foot office building located in Arlington, Virginia for $71,500,000, resulting in a gain of $33,900,000 which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Other Investments:

 

The Lexington Master Limited Partnership (“Lexington MLP”)

 

On December 31, 2006, Newkirk Realty Trust (NYSE: NKT) was acquired in a merger by Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP), a real estate investment trust. We owned 10,186,991 limited partnership units (representing a 15.8% investment ownership interest) of Newkirk MLP, which was also acquired by Lexington as a subsidiary, and was renamed Lexington MLP. The units in Newkirk MLP, which we accounted for on the equity method, were converted on a 0.80 for 1 basis into limited partnership units of Lexington MLP, which we also account for on the equity method. The Lexington MLP units are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into common shares of Lexington. We record our pro rata share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements.

 

As of September 30, 2007, we own 8,149,593 limited partnership units of Lexington MLP, or a 7.3% ownership interest. We record our pro rata share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three months ended September 30, 2007 includes our share of Lexington MLP’s net income for its three months ended June 30, 2007.

 

As of September 30, 2007, the market value of our investment in Lexington MLP based on Lexington’s September 28, 2007 closing share price of $20.01, was $163,073,000, or $17,238,000 below the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. We have concluded that as of September 30, 2007, the decline in the value of our investment is not “other-than-temporary.”

 

GMH Communities L.P. (“GMH”)

 

As of September 30, 2007, we own 7,337,857 limited partnership units (which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into common shares of GMH Communities Trust (“GCT”) (NYSE: GCT), a real estate investment trust that conducts its business through GMH and of which it is the sole general partner) and 2,517,247 common shares of GCT, or 13.5% of the limited partnership interest of GMH. We account for our investment in GMH on the equity method and record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis as we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three months ended September 30, 2007 includes our share of GMH’s net income for its three months ended June 30, 2007.

 

As of September 30, 2007, the market value of our investment in GMH and GCT based on GCT’s September 28, 2007 closing share price of $7.75, was $76,377,000, or $27,473,000 below the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. We have concluded that as of September 30, 2007, the decline in the value of our investment is not “other-than-temporary.”

 

Downtown Crossing Joint Venture

 

On January 26, 2007, a joint venture in which we have a 50% interest acquired the Filene’s property located in the Downtown Crossing district of Boston, Massachusetts for approximately $100,000,000 in cash, of which our share was $50,000,000. The venture plans to redevelop the property to include over 1,200,000 square feet, consisting of office, retail, condominium apartments and a hotel. The project is subject to governmental approvals. Our investment in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method.

Investment in McDonald’s Corporation (“McDonalds”) (NYSE: MCD)

 

As of September 30, 2007, we owned 858,000 common shares of McDonalds. These shares are recorded as marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheets and are classified as “available for sale.” Appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of these shares is recorded as an increase or decrease in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the shareholders’ equity section of our consolidated balance sheets and not recognized in income. At September 30, 2007, based on McDonalds’ September 28, 2007 closing stock price of $54.47 per share, $21,388,000 of appreciation in the value of these shares was included in “accumulated other comprehensive income” on our consolidated balance sheet. During October 2007, we sold all of the McDonalds common shares at a weighted average price of $56.45 per share, resulting in a net gain of $23,090,000 which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

In addition to the above, at July 1, 2007, we owned 13,695,500 McDonalds common shares (“option shares”) through a series of privately negotiated transactions with a financial institution pursuant to which we purchased a call option and simultaneously sold a put option at the same strike price on McDonalds’ common shares. The option shares had a weighted-average strike price of $32.70 per share, or an aggregate of $447,822,000, expired on various dates between July 30, 2007 and September 10, 2007 and provided for net cash settlement. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we settled 10,118,800 option shares and received $234,242,000 in cash. At September 30, 2007, there were 3,576,700 option shares remaining in the derivative position at a price of $54.47 per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized a net gain of $28,190,000 as a result of the above transactions. The aggregate net gain recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $102,803,000. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized net gains of $68,796,000 and $60,581,000, respectively.

 

In October 2007, we settled all of the remaining option shares at a weighted average price of $56.24 per share, resulting in a net gain of $6,018,000 which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

The aggregate net gain realized from inception of our investments in McDonalds in 2005 through final settlement in October 2007 was $289,414,000.

2007 Financings:

 

On January 26, 2007, we completed a $678,000,000 financing of our Skyline Complex in Fairfax Virginia, consisting of eight office buildings containing 2,560,000 square feet. This loan bears interest only at 5.74% and matures in February 2017. We retained net proceeds of approximately $515,000,000 after repaying existing loans and closing costs, including $5,771,000 for prepayment penalties and defeasance costs which is included in “interest and debt expense” in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

 

On March 1, 2007, we repaid the $19,394,000 balance of the 1999 K Street mortgage loan.

 

On March 30, 2007, we repaid the $47,011,000 balance of the Crystal Park 2 mortgage loan.

 

On May 11, 2007, we redeemed our $500,000,000 5.625% senior unsecured notes at the face amount plus accrued interest.

 

On May 14, 2007, we completed a $45,000,000 financing of our 866 UN Plaza property. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.40% and matures in May 2009. The net proceeds were used to repay the existing loan and closing costs.

 

On July 3, 2007, we repaid $21,030,000 of the $46,837,000 outstanding balance of the mortgage loan which was secured by the Garfield, Edison and East Brunswick industrial warehouses. We incurred $1,701,000 of prepayment penalties and defeasance costs which is included in interest and debt expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

 

On September 28, 2007, the Operating Partnership entered into a new $1.510 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which was increased by $85,000,000 on October 12, 2007 and can be increased up to $2.0 billion during the initial term. The new facility has a three-year term with two one-year extension options, bears interest at LIBOR plus 55 basis points (5.67% at September 30, 2007), based on our current credit ratings and requires the payment of an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. Together with the existing $1.0 billion credit facility we have an aggregate of $2.595 billion of unsecured revolving credit. Vornado is the guarantor of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under both revolving credit agreements. The existing $1.0 billion credit facility’s financial covenants have been modified to conform to the financial covenants under the new agreement. Significant modifications include (i) changing the definition of Capitalization Value to exclude corporate unallocated general and administrative expenses and to reduce the capitalization rate to 6.5% from 7.5%, and (ii) changing the definition of Total Outstanding Indebtedness to exclude indebtedness of unconsolidated joint ventures. Under the new agreement, “Equity Value” may not be less than Three Billion Dollars; “Total Outstanding Indebtedness” may not exceed sixty percent (60%) of “Capitalization Value;” the ratio of “Combined EBITDA” to “Fixed Charges,” each measured as of the most recently ended calendar quarter, may not be less than 1.40 to 1.00; the ratio of “Unencumbered Combined EBITDA” to “Unsecured Interest Expense,” each measured as of the most recently ended calendar quarter, may not be less than 1.50 to 1.00; at any time, “Unsecured Indebtedness” may not exceed sixty percent (60%) of “Capitalization Value of Unencumbered Assets;” and the ratio of “Secured Indebtedness” to “Capitalization Value,” each measured as of the most recently ended calendar quarter, may not exceed fifty percent (50%). The new agreement also contains standard representations and warranties and other covenants. The terms in quotations in this paragraph are all defined in the new agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 28, 2007, filed on October 4, 2007.

 

On October 11, 2007, we repaid the $51,678,000 balance of the Crystal Gateway N. and Arlington Plaza mortgage loan.

2007 Financings: (continued)

 

2.85% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2027

 

On March 21, 2007, Vornado Realty Trust sold $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.85% convertible senior debentures due 2027, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The aggregate net proceeds from this offering, after underwriters’ discounts and expenses, were approximately $1.37 billion. The debentures are redeemable at our option beginning in 2012 for the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Holders of the debentures have the right to require us to repurchase their debentures in 2012, 2017, and 2022 and in certain other limited circumstances. The debentures are convertible, under certain circumstances, for cash and Vornado common shares at an initial conversion rate of 6.1553 common shares per $1,000 of principal amount of debentures. The initial conversion price is $162.46, which represents a premium of 30% over the March 21, 2007 closing price of $124.97 for our common shares. The principal amount of debentures will be settled for cash and the amount in excess of the principal defined as the conversion value will be settled in cash or, at our election, Vornado common shares.

 

We are amortizing the underwriters’ discount on a straight-line basis (which approximates the interest method) over the period from the date of issuance to the date of earliest redemption of April 1, 2012. Because the conversion option associated with the debentures, when analyzed as a freestanding instrument, meets the criteria to be classified as equity specified by paragraphs 12 to 32 of EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s own Common Stock,” separate accounting for the conversion option under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” is not appropriate.

 

The net proceeds of the offering were contributed to the Operating Partnership in the form of an inter-company loan and the Operating Partnership guaranteed the payment of the debentures. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds primarily for acquisitions and investments and for general corporate purposes.

 

On August 31, 2007, the FASB issued a proposed FASB Staff Position (the “proposed FSP”) that affects the accounting for our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures and Series D-13 convertible preferred units. The proposed FSP requires the initial proceeds from the sale of our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures and Series D-13 convertible preferred units to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting discount must be amortized using the effective interest method over the period the debt is expected to remain outstanding as additional interest expense. The proposed FSP, if adopted, would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and would require retroactive application. The adoption of the proposed FSP on January 1, 2008 would result in the recognition of an aggregate unamortized debt discount of $190,697,000 (as of September 30, 2007) on our consolidated balance sheet and additional interest expense on our consolidated statements of income. Our current estimate of the incremental interest expense, net of minority interest, for each reporting period is as follows:

_______________________________

(1)

Most leases include periodic step-ups in rent, which are not reflected in the initial rent per square foot leased.

(2)

Because generally accepted accounting principles require tenant leases to be marked to fair value when they are acquired, the cash basis increase is greater than the GAAP basis rent increase when the acquired space is relet.

Reconciliation of Net Income and EBITDA – Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

 

Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)

EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

 

Notes to the preceding tabular information:

 

 

(1)

Revenue per available room (“REVPAR”) was $136.85 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $107.65 for the prior year’s quarter.

 

 

(2)

Primarily from (i) a $8,725 increase in transportation operations resulting from new transportation business in connection with the acquisition of the ConAgra warehouses in the fourth quarter of 2006, (ii) a $4,369 increase in owned warehouse operations and (iii) a $2,855 increase in managed warehouse operations (resulting in a $102 increase in EBITDA) as a result of a new management contract beginning in March 2007. See page 58 for a discussion of AmeriCold’s gross margin.

 

 

(3)

Primarily as a result of lower real estate taxes on certain New York office properties.

 

 

(4)

Primarily due to lease termination fee income received from MONY Life Insurance Company in connection with the termination of their 289,000 square foot lease at 1740 Broadway in 2006.

AmeriCold’s gross margin from comparable warehouses was $37,720 or 32.3%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $35,528 or 31.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $2,192. Gross margin from transportation management services, managed warehouses and other non-warehouse activities was $4,510 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $3,021 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $1,489.

 

(4)

Primarily from H Street litigation costs incurred during the prior year’s quarter.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

 

Income Applicable to Alexander’s

 

Our 32.8% share of Alexander’s net income (comprised of equity in net income or loss, management, leasing, development and commitment fees) was $12,111,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $3,586,000 for the prior year’s three months, an increase of $15,697,000. This increase was primarily due to $3,075,000 for our share of income in the current quarter for the reversal of accrued stock appreciation rights compensation expense as compared to $10,797,000 of expense in the prior year’s quarter, and an increase of $1,113,000 in development fees in the current quarter.

 

Loss Applicable to Toys

 

Our 32.8% share of Toys’ financial results (comprised of our share of Toys’ net loss, interest income on loans receivable, and management fees) for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 are for Toys fiscal quarters ended August 5, 2007 and July 29, 2006, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2007, our loss applicable to Toys was $20,289,000, or $37,855,000 before our share of Toys’ income tax benefit, as compared to $40,699,000, or $45,627,000 before our share of Toys’ income tax benefit in the prior year’s three months. The decrease in our loss applicable to Toys’ before income tax benefit of $7,772,000 results primarily from (i) an increase in Toys’ net sales due to improvements in comparable store sales across all divisions and benefits in foreign currency translation (comparable store sales increases were 1.1% for Toys “R” Us – U.S., 5.9% for Toys “R” Us – International, and 2.2% for Babies “R” Us), (ii) a net gain related to a lease termination, (iii) decreased interest expense primarily due to reduced borrowings and reduced amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by, (iv) an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of higher payroll, store occupancy, corporate and advertising expenses, which as a percentage of net sales were 31.4% and 30.3% for the quarters ended August 5, 2007 and July 29, 2006, respectively.

(1)

On April 30, 2007, we acquired the corporations that own the remaining 50% interest in these assets and we now consolidate the accounts of these entities into our consolidated financial statements and no longer account for them under the equity method. Prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2006, these corporations were contesting our acquisition of H Street and impeded access to their financial information. Accordingly, we were unable to record our pro rata share of their earnings. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we recognized equity in net income of $4,065 from these entities of which $1,083 was for the periods from July 20, 2005 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2005.

 

 

(2)

We record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three months ended September 30, 2007 includes our share of GMH’s net income for its second quarter ended June, 2007. On July 31, 2006 GCT filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which restated the quarterly financial results of each of the first three quarters of 2005. On September 15, 2006 GCT filed its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three months ended September 30, 2006 included equity in net income of $15, which consists of (i) a $94 net loss representing our share of GMH’s fourth quarter results, net of adjustments to restate its first three quarters of 2005, and (ii) $109 of net income for our share of GMH’s 2006 earnings through June 30, 2006.

 

 

(3)

Beginning on January 1, 2007, we record our pro rata share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements. Prior to the January 1, 2007, we recorded our pro rata share of Newkirk MLP’s (Lexington MLP’s predecessor) quarterly earnings current in our same quarter. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three months ended September 30, 2007 includes our share of Lexington MLP’s net income for its second quarter ended June, 2007.

 

    The decrease in our share of earnings from the prior year’s quarter is primarily due to (i) higher depreciation expense and amortization of above market lease intangibles in the current quarter as a result of Lexington’s purchase price accounting adjustments in connection with the merger of Newkirk MLP on December 31, 2006 and (ii) our share of net gains on sale of real estate of $10,842 in 2006.
     

 

(4)

Includes our equity in net earnings of partially owned entities including, partially owned office buildings in New York and Washington, DC, the Monmouth Mall, Dune Capital LP, Verde Group LLC, and others.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

Interest and Other Investment Income  

Interest and other investment income (mark-to-market of derivative positions, interest income on mortgage loans receivable, other interest income and dividend income) was $56,906,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $98,092,000 for the prior year’s three months, a decrease of $41,186,000. This decrease resulted primarily from a net gain of $68,796,000 from the mark-to-market of the McDonalds derivative position in the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to a net gain of $28,190,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007.

 

Interest and Debt Expense

Interest and debt expense was $165,889,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $115,280,000 for the prior year’s three months, an increase of $50,609,000. This increase was primarily due to (i) $40,025,000 from a $2.8 billion increase in outstanding mortgage debt due to property acquisitions, new property financings and refinancings, (ii) $21,339,000 from the November 20, 2006 issuance of $1 billion convertible senior debentures and the March 21, 2007 issuance of $1.4 billion convertible senior debentures, partially offset by (iii) a $3,961,000 increase in the amount of capitalized interest in connection with properties under development and (iv) $6,847,000 of expense arising from the prepayment of debt in the prior year’s quarter.

 

Net Gain on Disposition of Wholly Owned and Partially Owned Assets Other than Depreciable Real Estate

Net gain on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets other than depreciable real estate was $1,012,000 and $8,032,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and represent net gains on sale of marketable securities in each period.

 

Minority Interest of Partially Owned Entities

Minority interest of partially owned entities was income of $3,587,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $2,534,000 of income for the prior year’s three months and represents the minority partners’ pro rata share of the net income or loss of consolidated partially owned entities, including 1290 Avenue of the Americas, the 555 California Street complex, AmeriCold, 220 Central Park South, Wasserman and the Springfield Mall.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $3,048,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $382,000 for the prior year’s three months, an increase of $2,666,000. This increase results primarily from two H Street corporations which we consolidate as of April 30, 2007, the date we acquired the remaining 50% of these corporations we did not previously own (we previously accounted for our 50% interest on the equity method). Beginning on January 1, 2008, these corporations will elect to be treated as real estate investment trusts under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which will eliminate their Federal income tax provision to the extent that 100% of their taxable income is distributed to shareholders.

 

Income From Discontinued Operations

The combined results of operations of the assets related to discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 include Vineland, New Jersey, which was sold on July 16, 2007; Crystal Mall Two, which was sold on August 9, 2007; and Arlington Plaza, which was sold on October 17, 2007.

Reconciliation of Net Income and EBITDA – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

 

Notes to preceding tabular information

(1)

EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

 

Notes to the preceding tabular information:

 

(1)

Revenue per available room (“REVPAR”) was $121.91 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $101.52 for the prior year’s nine months.

 

(2)

Primarily from (i) a $19,395 increase in transportation operations resulting from new transportation business in connection with the acquisition of the ConAgra warehouses in the fourth quarter of 2006, (ii) a $5,438 increase in managed warehouse operations (resulting in a $238 increase in EBITDA) as a result of a new management contract beginning in March 2007, and (iii) a $2,057 increase in owned warehouse operations. See page 68 for a discussion of AmeriCold’s gross margin.

 

(3)

Reflects an increase in tenant expense reimbursements associated with higher operating expenses, offset by leases with new base-years as a result of space re-let.

 

(4)

Primarily due to lease termination fee income received from MONY Life Insurance Company in connection with the termination of their 289,000 square foot lease at 1740 Broadway in 2006.

The $19,712 increase in New York Office operating expenses is primarily due to (i) a $7,500 increase in property level costs, (ii) an $8,547 increase in operating expenses of Building Maintenance Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary which provides cleaning, security and engineering services to New York office properties (for which the corresponding increase in BMS revenues is included in “other income”) and (iii) a $2,409 increase in bad debt expense for which there is no corresponding tenant expense reimbursement.

 

(2)

Reflects an increase in real estate taxes as a result of a reassessment of 2006 ($2,800) and 2007 ($2,200), and from a $1,900 reversal of a reserve for bad debts in 2006.

This increase was primarily due to (i) our $8,991,000 share of income in the current nine month period for the reversal of accrued stock appreciation rights compensation expense as compared to $18,356,000 for our share of expense in the prior year’s nine months, (ii) an increase of $3,101,000 in our equity in earnings of Alexander’s before stock appreciation rights and net gains on sales of condominiums, (iii) an increase of $2,504,000 in development fees in the current period, partially offset by (iv) our $4,580,000 share of Alexander’s net gain on sale of 731 Lexington Avenue condominiums in the prior year’s nine months.

On April 30, 2007, we acquired the corporations that own the remaining 50% interest in these assets and we now consolidate the accounts of these entities into our consolidated financial statements and no longer account for them under the equity method. Prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2006, these corporations were contesting our acquisition of H Street and impeded access to their financial information. Accordingly, we were unable to record our pro rata share of their unable to record our pro rata share of their earnings. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we recognized equity in net income of $8,376 from these entities of which $3,890 was for the periods from July 20, 2005 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2005.

 

 

(2)

We record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. On July 31, 2006 GCT filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which restated the quarterly financial results of each of the first three quarters of 2005. On September 15, 2006 GCT filed its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes equity in net income of $15, which consists of (i) a $94 net loss representing our share of GMH’s fourth quarter results, net of adjustments to restate its first three quarters of 2005 and (ii) $109 of net income for our share of GMH’s 2006 earnings through June 30, 2006.

 

 

(3)

Beginning on January 1, 2007, we record our pro rata share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements. Prior to the January 1, 2007, we recorded our pro rata share of Newkirk MLP’s (Lexington MLP’s predecessor) quarterly earnings current in our same quarter. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 includes our share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss for its six months ended June 30, 2007.

 

    The decrease in our share of earnings from the prior year’s nine months is primarily due to (i) the current year including our share of Lexington MLP’s first and quarter results (lag basis) compared to the prior year’s nine months including our share of Newkirk MLP’s first, second and third quarter results, (ii) higher depreciation expense and amortization of above market lease intangibles in the current year as a result of Lexington’s purchase price accounting adjustments in connection with the merger of Newkirk MLP on December 31, 2006 and (iii) $10,842 for our share of net gains on sale of real estate in 2006.
     

 

(4)

Includes our equity in net earnings of partially owned entities including, partially owned office buildings in New York and Washington, DC, the Monmouth Mall, Dune Capital LP, Verde Group LLC, and others.

Interest and debt expense was $469,659,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $339,118,000 for the prior year’s nine months, an increase of $130,541,000. This increase was primarily due to (i) $96,532,000 from a $2.8 billion increase in outstanding mortgage debt due to property acquisitions, new property financings and refinancings and repayments, (ii) $53,295,000 from the November 20, 2006 issuance of $1 billion convertible senior debentures and the March 21, 2007 issuance of $1.4 billion convertible senior debentures, partially offset by (iii) an $22,054,000 increase in the amount of capitalized interest in connection with properties under development.

 

Net Gain on Disposition of Wholly Owned and Partially Owned Assets Other than Depreciable Real Estate

Net gain on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets other than depreciable real estate was $17,699,000 and $65,527,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and represents net gains on sale of marketable securities in each period.

 

Minority Interest of Partially Owned Entities

Minority interest of partially owned entities was income of $11,819,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to income of $5,378,000 for the prior year’s nine months and represents the minority partners’ pro rata share of the net income or loss of consolidated partially owned entities, including 1290 Avenue of the Americas, the 555 California Street complex, AmeriCold, 220 Central Park South, Wasserman and the Springfield Mall.

 

Provision For Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $6,815,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $2,362,000 for the prior year’s nine months, an increase of $4,453,000. This increase results from two H Street corporations, which we consolidate as of April 30, 2007, the date we acquired the remaining 50% of these corporations we did not previously own (we previously accounted for our 50% investment on the equity method). Beginning on January 1, 2008, these corporations will elect to be treated as real estate investment trusts under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which will eliminate their Federal income tax provision to the extent that 100% of their taxable income is distributed to shareholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – Nine Months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

 

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

 

Our cash and cash equivalents was $386,882,000 at September 30, 2006, a $92,378,000 increase over the balance at December 31, 2005. This increase resulted from $486,838,000 of net cash provided by operating activities, $374,854,000 of net cash provided by financing activities, partially offset by $769,314,000 of net cash used in investing activities. Property rental income represents our primary source of net cash provided by operating activities. Our property rental income is primarily dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. Other sources of liquidity to fund our cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans and corporate level unsecured borrowings; our $1 billion revolving credit facility; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity; and asset sales. Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, distributions to our common and preferred shareholders, as well as acquisition and development costs.

 

Our consolidated outstanding debt was $7,382,460,000 at September 30, 2006, a $1,139,334,000 increase over the balance at December 31, 2005. This increase resulted primarily from debt associated with asset acquisitions and property refinancings during 2006.

 

Our share of debt of unconsolidated subsidiaries was $3,286,180,000 at September 30, 2006, a $283,834,000 increase over the balance at December 31, 2005. This increase resulted primarily from our $92,120,000 share of an increase in Toys “R” Us outstanding debt and from debt associated with asset acquisitions and refinancings.

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities of $486,838,000 was primarily comprised of (i) net income of $440,364,000, after adjustments of $96,823,000 for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization expense, the effect of straight-lining of rental income, minority interest expense and net gains on sale of real estate and assets other than depreciable real estate, (ii) distributions of income from partially-owned entities of $27,518,000, partially offset by, (iii) the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $77,867,000.

 

Net cash used in investing activities of $769,314,000 was primarily comprised of (i) investments in notes and mortgage loans receivable of $361,841,000, (ii) capital expenditures of $139,751,000, (iii) development and redevelopment expenditures of $156,051,000, (iv) investments in partially-owned entities of $112,729,000, (v) acquisitions of real estate of $572,472,000, (vi) investments in marketable securities of $83,698,000, (vii) deposits in connection with real estate acquisitions, including pre-acquisition costs, of $21,676,000, (viii) restricted cash, including mortgage escrows, of $2,527,000, partially offset by, (ix) proceeds received on the settlement of derivatives (primarily Sears Holdings) of $135,028,000, (x) proceeds from the sale of real estate of $110,388,000, (xi) distributions of capital from partially-owned entities of $108,779,000, (xii) proceeds from the sale of, and returns of investment in, marketable securities of $157,363,000, and (xiii) proceeds from  repayments on notes and mortgages receivable of $169,746,000.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities of $374,854,000 was primarily comprised of (i) proceeds from borrowings of $1,807,091,000, (ii) proceeds from the issuance of preferred units of $43,862,000, (iii) proceeds of $9,510,000 from the exercise by employees of share options, partially offset by, (iv) dividends paid on common shares of $339,844,000, (v) repayments of borrowings of $802,785,000, (vi) purchases of marketable securities in connection with the legal defeasance of mortgage notes payable of $174,254,000, (vii) dividends paid on preferred shares of $43,257,000, (viii) distributions to minority partners of $65,303,000 and (ix) debt issuance costs of $15,166,000.

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 net income or loss determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as disclosed in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

 

FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and industry analysts as supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs. FFO and FFO per diluted share should be evaluated along with GAAP net income and income per diluted share (the most directly comparable GAAP measures), as well as cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, in evaluating the operating performance of equity REITs. We believe that FFO and FFO per diluted share are helpful to investors as supplemental performance measures because these measures exclude the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs.

 

The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of income per share are disclosed in footnote 12 - Income Per Share, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements on page 26 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

FFO applicable to common shares plus assumed conversions was $221,199,000, or $1.35 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $204,535,000, or $1.31 per diluted share for the prior year’s quarter. FFO applicable to common shares plus assumed conversions was $773,457,000, or $4.71 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $646,881,000, or $4.17 per diluted share for the prior years nine months. Details of certain items that affect comparability are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview.”

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Our exposure to a change in interest rates on our consolidated and non-consolidated debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. In addition, we have notes and mortgage loans receivables aggregating $295,889,000, as of September 30, 2007, which are based on variable rates and partially mitigate our exposure to a change in interest rates.

 

Fair Value of Our Debt

 

The carrying amount of our debt exceeds its aggregate fair value, based on discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt, by approximately $421,002,000 at September 30, 2007.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

We have, and may in the future enter into, derivative positions that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, including our economic interest in McDonald’s common shares. Because these derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from their mark-to-market at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statements of income. In addition, we are, and may in the future be, subject to additional expense based on the notional amount of the derivative positions and a specified spread over LIBOR. Because the market value of these instruments can vary significantly between periods, we may experience significant fluctuations in the amount of our investment income or expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized net gains aggregating approximately $18,606,000 and $100,060,000 respectively, from these positions, after all expenses and LIBOR charges.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2007, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters, including the matters referred to below, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The following updates the discussion set forth under “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Stop & Shop

On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, froze our right to re-allocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop. On March 3, 2003, after we moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint. On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. We removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In January 2005 that court remanded the action to the New York Supreme Court. On February 14, 2005, we served an answer in which we asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its decision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision. On January 16, 2007 we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007. On April 16, 2007, the Court directed that discovery should be completed by December 2007, with a trial date to be determined thereafter. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop.

 

1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street

 

On May 24, 2007, we acquired a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas and the 555 California Street complex. Our 70% interest was acquired through the purchase of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies that own, through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and a 69% limited partnership interest in the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump.

 

In August 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the partnerships referred to above.   Mr. Trump’s claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of, and use of proceeds from, the sale of properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in Manhattan which were formerly owned by the partnerships. In decisions dated September 14, 2005 and July 24, 2006, the Court denied various of Mr. Trump’s motions and ultimately dismissed all of Mr. Trump’s claims, except for his claim seeking access to books and records. In a decision dated October 1, 2007, the Court determined that Mr. Trump already received access to the books and records to which he was entitled, with the exception of certain documents which the general partners have requested from third parties but have not yet been received. Mr. Trump has sought re-argument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with, his dismissed claims.  

 

In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to indemnify the sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trump’s claim that the general partners of the partnerships we acquired did not sell the rail yards at a fair price or could have sold the rail yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted in the legal action; provided however, that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, the sellers will be required to reimburse us for certain costs related to those claims. We believe that the claims relating to the sale price are without merit. All other allegations are not asserted as a basis for damages and regardless of merit would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.
