PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

GENERAL

        Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company"), is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns and operates a real estate portfolio comprised predominantly of Class A office and office/flex properties located primarily in the Northeast. The Company performs substantially all commercial real estate leasing, management, acquisition, development and construction services on an in-house basis. Mack-Cali Realty Corporation was incorporated on May 24, 1994. The Company's executive offices are located at 343 Thornall Street, Edison, New Jersey 08837-2206, and its telephone number is (732) 590-1000. The Company has an internet website at www.mack-cali.com.

        As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned or had interests in 293 properties, aggregating approximately 33.5 million square feet, plus developable land (collectively, the "Properties"), which are leased to approximately 2,100 tenants. The Properties are comprised of: (a) 255 wholly-owned or Company-controlled properties consisting of 150 office buildings and 95 office/flex buildings aggregating approximately 28.8 million square feet, six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, two stand-alone retail properties totaling approximately 17,300 square feet, and two land leases (collectively, the "Consolidated Properties"); and (b) 37 buildings, which are primarily office properties, aggregating approximately 4.3 million square feet, and a 350-room hotel, which are owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to square feet represent net rentable area. As of December 31, 2008, the office, office/flex, industrial/warehouse and stand-alone retail properties included in the Consolidated Properties were 91.3 percent leased. Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future, and leases that expire at the period end date. Leases that expire as of December 31, 2008 aggregate 67,473 square feet, or 0.2 percent of the net rentable square footage. The Properties are located in six states, primarily in the Northeast, and the District of Columbia. See Item 2: Properties.

        The Company's strategy has been to focus its operations, acquisition and development of office properties in high-barrier-to-entry markets and sub-markets where it believes it is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator. The Company plans to continue this strategy by expanding through acquisitions and/or development in Northeast markets where it has, or can achieve, similar status. The Company believes that its Properties have excellent locations and access and are well-maintained and professionally managed. As a result, the Company believes that its Properties attract high quality tenants and achieve among the highest rental, occupancy and tenant retention rates within their markets. The Company also believes that its extensive market knowledge provides it with a significant competitive advantage, which is further enhanced by its strong reputation for, and emphasis on, delivering highly responsive, professional management services. See "Business Strategies."

        As of December 31, 2008, executive officers and directors of the Company and their affiliates owned approximately 9 percent of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock (including Units redeemable into shares of Common Stock). As used herein, the term "Units" refers to limited partnership interests in Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership") through which the Company conducts its real estate activities. The Company's executive officers have been employed by the Company and/or its predecessor companies for an average of approximately 20 years.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES

Operations

        Reputation:    The Company has established a reputation as a highly-regarded landlord with an emphasis on delivering quality tenant services in buildings it owns and/or manages. The Company believes that its continued success depends in part on enhancing its reputation as an operator of choice, which will facilitate the retention of current tenants and the attraction of new tenants. The Company believes it provides a superior level of service to its tenants, which should in turn, allow the Company to outperform the market with respect to occupancy rates, as well as improve tenant retention.

        Communication with tenants:    The Company emphasizes frequent communication with tenants to ensure first-class service to the Properties. Property management personnel generally are located on site at the Properties to provide convenient access to management and to ensure that the Properties are well-maintained. Property management's primary responsibility is to ensure that buildings are operated at peak efficiency in order to meet both the Company's and tenants' needs and expectations. Property management personnel additionally budget and oversee capital improvements and building system upgrades to enhance the Properties' competitive advantages in their respective markets and to maintain the quality of the Properties.

        Additionally, the Company's in-house leasing representatives develop and maintain long-term relationships with the Company's diverse tenant base and coordinate leasing, expansion, relocation and build-to-suit opportunities within the Company's portfolio. This approach allows the Company to offer office space in the appropriate size and location to current or prospective tenants in any of its sub-markets.

        Portfolio Management:    The Company plans to continue to own and operate a portfolio of properties in high-barrier-to-entry markets, with a primary focus in the Northeast. The Company's primary objectives are to maximize operating cash flow and to enhance the value of its portfolio through effective management, acquisition, development and property sales strategies, as follows:

        The Company seeks to maximize the value of its existing portfolio through implementing operating strategies designed to produce the highest effective rental and occupancy rates and lowest tenant installation cost within the markets that it operates, and further within the parameters of those markets. The Company continues to pursue internal growth through re-leasing space at higher effective rents with contractual rent increases and developing or redeveloping space for its diverse base of high credit tenants, including New Cingular Wireless PCS LLC, National Union Fire Insurance and The United States of America—GSA. In addition, the Company seeks economies of scale through volume discounts to take advantage of its size and dominance in particular sub-markets, and operating efficiencies through the use of in-house management, leasing, marketing, financing, accounting, legal, development and construction services.

        Acquisitions:    The Company also believes that growth opportunities exist through acquiring operating properties or properties for redevelopment with attractive returns in its core Northeast sub-markets where, based on its expertise in leasing, managing and operating properties, it believes it is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator. The Company intends either directly or through joint ventures to acquire, invest in or redevelop additional properties that: (i) are expected to provide attractive initial yields with potential for growth in cash flow from operations; (ii) are well-located, of high quality and competitive in their respective sub-markets; (iii) are located in its existing sub-markets or in sub-markets in which the Company can become a significant and preferred owner and operator; and (iv) it believes have been under-managed or are otherwise capable of improved performance through intensive management, capital improvements and/or leasing that should result in increased effective rental and occupancy rates.

Table of Contents

        Development:    The Company seeks to selectively develop additional properties either directly or through joint ventures where it believes such development will result in a favorable risk-adjusted return on investment in coordination with the above operating strategies. Such development primarily will occur: (i) when leases have been executed prior to construction; (ii) in stable core Northeast sub-markets where the demand for such space exceeds available supply; and (iii) where the Company is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator.

        Property Sales:    While management's principal intention is to own and operate its properties on a long-term basis, it periodically assesses the attributes of each of its properties, with a particular focus on the supply and demand fundamentals of the sub-markets in which they are located. Based on these ongoing assessments, the Company may, from time to time, decide to sell any of its properties.

Financial

        The Company currently intends to maintain a ratio of debt-to-undepreciated assets (total debt of the Company as a percentage of total undepreciated assets) of 50 percent or less, however there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining this ratio. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company's total debt constituted approximately 40.6 and 40.2 percent of total undepreciated assets of the Company, respectively. The Company has three investment grade credit ratings. Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") and Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch") have each assigned their BBB rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. Fitch has assigned its BBB- rating and S&P has assigned its BB+ rating to existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Company. Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has assigned its Baa2 rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and its Baa3 rating to existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Company. Although there is no limit in the Company's organizational documents on the amount of indebtedness that the Company may incur or a requirement for the maintenance of investment grade credit ratings, the Company has entered into certain financial agreements which contain covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur indebtedness under certain circumstances. The Company intends to conduct its operations so as to best be able to maintain its investment grade debt rating status. The Company intends to utilize the most appropriate sources of capital for future acquisitions, development, capital improvements and other investments, which may include funds from operating activities, proceeds from property and land sales, short-term and long-term borrowings (including draws on the Company's revolving credit facility), and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities.

EMPLOYEES

        As of December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately 444 full-time employees.

COMPETITION

        The leasing of real estate is highly competitive. The Properties compete for tenants with lessors and developers of similar properties located in their respective markets primarily on the basis of location, the quality of properties, leasing terms (including rent and other charges and allowances for tenant improvements), services provided, the design and condition of the Properties, and reputation as an owner and operator of quality office properties in the relevant market. The Company also experiences competition when attempting to acquire or dispose of real estate, including competition from domestic and foreign financial institutions, other REITs, life insurance companies, pension trusts, trust funds, partnerships, individual investors and others.

Table of Contents

REGULATIONS

        Many laws and governmental regulations apply to the ownership and/or operation of the Properties and changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and the courts, occur frequently.

        Under various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, an owner of real estate may be held liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances located on or in the property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner was responsible for, or even knew of, the presence of such substances. The presence of such substances may adversely affect the owner's ability to rent or sell the property or to borrow using such property as collateral and may expose it to liability resulting from any release of, or exposure to, such substances. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances at another location may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental laws impose liability for the release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may also seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous or toxic substances.

        In connection with the ownership (direct or indirect), operation, management and development of real properties, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of such properties or as having arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and, therefore, potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs, including governmental penalties and injuries to persons and property.

        There can be no assurance that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability, (ii) the current environmental condition of the Properties will not be affected by tenants, by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of the Properties (such as the presence of underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to the Company, or (iii) the Company's assessments reveal all environmental liabilities and that there are no material environmental liabilities of which the Company is aware. If compliance with the various laws and regulations, now existing or hereafter adopted, exceeds the Company's budgets for such items, the Company's ability to make expected distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected.

        There are no other laws or regulations which have a material effect on the Company's operations, other than typical federal, state and local laws affecting the development and operation of real property, such as zoning laws.

INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

        The Company operates in two industry segments: (i) real estate; and (ii) construction services. As of December 31, 2008, the Company does not have any foreign operations and its business is not seasonal. In May 2006, in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of the Gale Company and related businesses, the Company acquired a business specializing solely in construction and related services whose operations comprise the Company's construction services segment. Please see our financial statements attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein for financial information relating to our industry segments.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

        The Company's core markets continue to be weak. The percentage leased in the Company's consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties was 91.3 percent at December 31, 2008, as compared to 92.7 percent at December 31, 2007 and 92.0 percent at December 31, 2006. Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates

Table of Contents


in the future and leases that expire at the period end date. Leases that expired as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 aggregate 67,473, 146,261 and 103,477 square feet, respectively, or 0.2, 0.5 and 0.4 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively. Rental rates on the Company's space that was re-leased (based on first rents payable) during the year ended December 31, 2008 increased an average of 1.5 percent compared to rates that were in effect under the prior leases, as compared to a 0.2 percent decrease in 2007 and a 0.2 percent decrease in 2006. The Company believes that vacancy rates may continue to increase in some of its markets through 2009 and possibly beyond. As a result, the Company's future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions.

        Deteriorating economic conditions have resulted in a reduction of the availability of financing and overall higher borrowing rates. These factors, coupled with a slowing economy, have reduced the volume of real estate transactions and created credit stresses on most businesses. On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Lehman leases 270,063 square feet of office space from the Company at 101 Hudson Street in Jersey City, New Jersey, which are scheduled to expire through 2018. Lehman has currently sublet 54.1 percent of its leased space to subtenants. Should Lehman's lease no longer be in effect, the subtenants would become direct tenants of the Company for the remainder of the term of their respective subleases. This would mitigate a portion of the Company's potential future loss of the Lehman lease as a result of Lehman's bankruptcy.

        The Company expects that the impact of the current state of the economy, including rising unemployment and the unprecedented volatility and illiquidity in the financial and credit markets, will continue to have a dampening effect on the fundamentals of its business, including increases in past due accounts, defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. These conditions would negatively affect the Company's future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. In addition to the financial constraints on the Company's tenants, many of the debt capital markets that real estate companies like the Company frequently access, such as the unsecured bond market and the convertible debt market, are not currently available to the Company on terms that management believes are economically attractive. Although the Company believes that the quality of its assets and its strong balance sheet will enable it to raise capital from other sources such as traditional term or secured loans from banks, pension funds and life insurance companies, these sources are lending fewer dollars, under stricter terms and at higher borrowing rates, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so on terms that are economically attractive or at all.

FINANCING ACTIVITY

        On October 28, 2008, the Company obtained $240 million in mortgage financing from The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company and New York Life Insurance Company as co-lenders. The mortgage loan, which is collateralized by its Harborside Plaza 5 office property, bears interest at a rate of 6.8 percent per annum and carries a 10-year term. Proceeds from the loan were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility.

        On November 17, 2008, the Company accepted for purchase $100.3 million principal amount of its 7.25 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due March 15, 2009 (the "Notes"), validly tendered pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offer on November 6, 2008 (the "Tender Offer"). The Notes accepted for purchase represented approximately 33.4 percent of the principal amount of Notes outstanding prior to the Tender Offer. The aggregate consideration for Notes accepted for payment, including accrued and unpaid interest, was approximately $101.5 million, which was funded primarily from borrowing on the Company's revolving credit facility. The Notes purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer have been cancelled and approximately $199.7 million principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding.

        On January 27, 2009, the Company obtained $64.5 million in mortgage financing from Guardian Life Insurance Company of America. The two mortgage loans, which are collateralized by one and three office properties located in Clark and Red Bank, New Jersey, respectively, both bear interest at a rate of 7.25 percent per annum and carry a 10-year term.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        We consider portions of this report, including the documents incorporated by reference, to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of such act. Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations and projections of revenue and other financial items. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "plan," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue" or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

        Among the factors about which we have made assumptions are:

    risks and uncertainties affecting the general economic climate and conditions, including the impact of the general economic recession as it impacts the national and local economies, which in turn may have a negative effect on the fundamentals of our business and the financial condition of our tenants;

    the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis;

    the extent of any tenant bankruptcies or of any early lease terminations;

    our ability to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents;

    changes in the supply of and demand for office, office/flex and industrial/warehouse properties;

8


Table of Contents

    changes in interest rate levels and volatility in the securities markets;

    changes in operating costs;

    our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts;

    the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt and our future interest expense;

    changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters; and

    other risks associated with the development and acquisition of properties, including risks that the development may not be completed on schedule, that the tenants will not take occupancy or pay rent, or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated.

        For further information on factors which could impact us and the statements contained herein, see Item 1A: Risk Factors. We assume no obligation to update and supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events, new information or otherwise.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

        Our results from operations and ability to make distributions on our equity and debt service on our indebtedness may be affected by the risk factors set forth below. All investors should consider the following risk factors before deciding to purchase securities of the Company. The Company refers to itself as "we" or "our" in the following risk factors.

Adverse economic and geopolitical conditions in general and the Northeastern office markets in particular could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and our ability to pay distributions to you.

        Our business may be affected by the unprecedented volatility and illiquidity in the financial and credit markets, the general global economic recession, and other market or economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy or real estate industry as a whole. Our business may also be adversely affected by local economic conditions, as substantially all of our revenues are derived from our properties located in the Northeast, particularly in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Because our portfolio consists primarily of office and office/flex buildings (as compared to a more diversified real estate portfolio) located principally in the Northeast, if economic conditions persist or deteriorate, then our results of operations, financial condition and ability to service current debt and to pay distributions to our shareholders may be adversely affected by the following, among other potential conditions:

    significant job losses in the financial and professional services industries may occur, which may decrease demand for our office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted;

    our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt, reduce our returns from both our existing operations and our acquisition and development activities and increase our future interest expense;

    reduced values of our properties may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans;

    the value and liquidity of our short-term investments and cash deposits could be reduced as a result of a deterioration of the financial condition of the institutions that hold our cash deposits

9


Table of Contents

      or the institutions or assets in which we have made short-term investments, the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments, increased volatility in market rates for such investments or other factors;

    reduced liquidity in debt markets and increased credit risk premiums for certain market participants may impair our ability to access capital; and

    one or more lenders under our line of credit could refuse or be unable to fund their financing commitment to us and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lenders on favorable terms, or at all.

        These conditions, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions, may continue or worsen in the future.

Our performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry.

        General:    Our business and our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors depend on the ability of our properties to generate funds in excess of operating expenses (including scheduled principal payments on debt and capital expenditures). Events or conditions that are beyond our control may adversely affect our operations and the value of our Properties. Such events or conditions could include:

    changes in the general economic climate and conditions, including the impact of the current global economic recession;

    changes in local conditions, such as an oversupply of office space, a reduction in demand for office space, or reductions in office market rental rates;

    decreased attractiveness of our properties to tenants;

    competition from other office and office/flex properties;

    our inability to provide adequate maintenance;

    increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes, due to inflation and other factors which may not necessarily be offset by increased rents;

    changes in laws and regulations (including tax, environmental, zoning and building codes, and housing laws and regulations) and agency or court interpretations of such laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance;

    changes in interest rate levels and the availability of financing;

    the inability of a significant number of tenants to pay rent;

    our inability to rent office space on favorable terms; and

    civil unrest, earthquakes, acts of terrorism and other natural disasters or acts of God that may result in uninsured losses.

        We may suffer adverse consequences if our revenues decline since our operating costs do not necessarily decline in proportion to our revenue:    We earn a significant portion of our income from renting our properties. Our operating costs, however, do not necessarily fluctuate in relation to changes in our rental revenue. This means that our costs will not necessarily decline even if our revenues do. Our operating costs could also increase while our revenues do not. If our operating costs increase but our rental revenues do not, we may be forced to borrow to cover our costs, we may incur losses and we may not have cash available for distributions to our stockholders.

        Financially distressed tenants may be unable to pay rent:    If a tenant defaults, we may experience delays and incur substantial costs in enforcing our rights as landlord and protecting our investments. If a tenant files for bankruptcy, a potential court judgment rejecting and terminating such tenant's lease could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors as we may be unable to replace the defaulting tenant with a new tenant at a comparable rental rate without incurring significant expenses or a reduction in rental income.

        Renewing leases or re-letting space could be costly:    If a tenant does not renew its lease upon expiration or terminates its lease early, we may not be able to re-lease the space. If a tenant does renew its lease or we re-lease the space, the terms of the renewal or new lease, including the cost of required renovations or concessions to the tenant, may be less favorable than the current lease terms, which could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

        Adverse developments concerning some of our major tenants and industry concentrations could have a negative impact on our revenue:    Recent developments in the general economy and the global credit markets have had a significant adverse effect on many companies in numerous industries. We have tenants concentrated in various industries that may be experiencing adverse effects of current economic conditions. Our business could be adversely affected if any of these tenants or any other tenants became insolvent, declared bankruptcy or otherwise refused to pay rent in a timely manner or at all.

        Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate or our insurance providers may default on their obligations to pay claims:    We currently carry comprehensive insurance on all of our properties, including insurance for liability, fire and flood. We cannot guarantee that the limits of our current policies will be sufficient in the event of a catastrophe to our properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew or duplicate our current insurance coverage in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices. In addition, while our current insurance policies insure us against loss from terrorist acts and toxic mold, in the future, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against these types of losses, or, if offered, these types of insurance may be prohibitively expensive. If any or all of the foregoing should occur, we may not have insurance coverage against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the limits of insurance available. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property or properties, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property or properties. Nevertheless, we might remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property or properties. We cannot guarantee that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Such events could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors. If one or more of our insurance providers were to fail to pay a claim as a result of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise, the nonpayment of such claims could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if one or more of our insurance providers were to become subject to insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceedings and our insurance policies with the provider were terminated or canceled as a result of those proceedings, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to find alternative coverage in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices. In such case, we could experience a lapse in any or adequate insurance coverage with respect to one or more properties and be exposed to potential losses relating to any claims that may arise during such period of lapsed or inadequate coverage.

        Illiquidity of real estate limits our ability to act quickly:    Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Such illiquidity may limit our ability to react quickly in response to changes in economic and other conditions. If we want to sell an investment, we might not be able to dispose of that investment in the time period we desire, and the sales price of that investment might not recoup or exceed the amount of our investment. The prohibition in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the

11


Table of Contents


"Code"), and related regulations on a real estate investment trust holding property for sale also may restrict our ability to sell property. In addition, we acquired a significant number of our properties from individuals to whom we issued Units as part of the purchase price. In connection with the acquisition of these properties, in order to preserve such individual's income tax deferral, we contractually agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer the properties for a specified period of time, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate individuals for the income tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains. As of December 31, 2008, 11 of our properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $203.5 million, were subject to these restrictions, which expire periodically through 2016. For those properties where such restrictions have lapsed, we are generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the appropriate individuals. 126 of our properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.8 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions. The above limitations on our ability to sell our investments could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

        Americans with Disabilities Act compliance could be costly:    Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), all public accommodations and commercial facilities must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA requirements could involve removal of structural barriers from certain disabled persons' entrances. Other federal, state and local laws may require modifications to or restrict further renovations of our properties with respect to such accesses. Although we believe that our properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, noncompliance with the ADA or related laws or regulations could result in the United States government imposing fines or private litigants being awarded damages against us. Such costs may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

        Environmental problems are possible and may be costly:    Various federal, state and local laws and regulations subject property owners or operators to liability for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances located on or in the property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator was responsible for or even knew of the presence of such substances. The presence of or failure to properly remediate hazardous or toxic substances (such as toxic mold) may adversely affect our ability to rent, sell or borrow against contaminated property and may impose liability upon us for personal injury to persons exposed to such substances. Various laws and regulations also impose liability on persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances at another location for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for such disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. Certain other environmental laws and regulations impose liability on owners or operators of property for injuries relating to the release of asbestos-containing or other materials into the air, water or otherwise into the environment. As owners and operators of property and as potential arrangers for hazardous substance disposal, we may be liable under such laws and regulations for removal or remediation costs, governmental penalties, property damage, personal injuries and related expenses. Payment of such costs and expenses could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

        We face risks associated with property acquisitions:    We have acquired in the past, and our long-term strategy is to continue to pursue the acquisition of properties and portfolios of properties in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and in the Northeast generally, including large real estate portfolios that could increase our size and result in alterations to our capital structure. We may be competing for investment opportunities with entities that have greater financial resources. Several office building developers and real estate companies may compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition, land for development and prospective tenants. Such competition may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors by:

    reducing the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us;

    increasing the bargaining power of property owners;

    interfering with our ability to attract and retain tenants;

    increasing vacancies which lowers market rental rates and limits our ability to negotiate rental rates; and/or

    adversely affecting our ability to minimize expenses of operation.

        Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:

    adequate financing to complete acquisitions may not be available on favorable terms or at all as a result of the unprecedented volatility and illiquidity in the financial and credit markets;

    even if we enter into an acquisition agreement for a property, we may be unable to complete that acquisition and risk the loss of certain non-refundable deposits and incurring certain other acquisition-related costs;

    the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be greater than our estimates;

    any acquisition agreement will likely contain conditions to closing, including completion of due diligence investigations to our satisfaction or other conditions that are not within our control, which may not be satisfied; and

    we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations, and acquired properties may fail to perform as expected; which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

        New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected:    We may acquire new office properties, assuming that we are able to obtain capital on favorable terms. Such newly acquired properties may not perform as expected and may subject us to unknown liability with respect to liabilities relating to such properties for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination or claims by tenants, vendors or other persons against the former owners of the properties. Inaccurate assumptions regarding future rental or occupancy rates could result in overly optimistic estimates of future revenues. In addition, future operating expenses or the costs necessary to bring an acquired property up to standards established for its intended market position may be underestimated.

        Development of real estate could be costly:    As part of our operating strategy, we may acquire land for development or construct on owned land, under certain conditions. Included among the risks of the real estate development business are the following, which may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors:

    financing for development projects may not be available on favorable terms;

    long-term financing may not be available upon completion of construction; and

13


Table of Contents

    failure to complete construction on schedule or within budget may increase debt service expense and construction costs.

        Property ownership through joint ventures could subject us to the contrary business objectives of our co-venturers:    We, from time to time, invest in joint ventures or partnerships in which we do not hold a controlling interest in the assets underlying the entities in which we invest, including joint ventures in which (i) we own a direct interest in an entity which controls such assets, or (ii) we own a direct interest in an entity which owns indirect interests, through one or more intermediaries, of such assets. These investments involve risks that do not exist with properties in which we own a controlling interest with respect to the underlying assets, including the possibility that our co-venturers or partners may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives. Because we lack a controlling interest, our co-venturers or partners may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives. While we seek protective rights against such contrary actions, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in procuring any such protective rights, or if procured, that the rights will be sufficient to fully protect us against contrary actions. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in joint ventures or partnerships. If the objectives of our co-venturers or partners are inconsistent with ours, it may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

Our real estate construction management activities are subject to risks particular to third-party construction projects.

        As we perform fixed price construction services for third parties, we are subject to a variety of risks unique to these activities. If construction costs of a project exceed original estimates, such costs may have to be absorbed by us, thereby making the project less profitable than originally estimated, or possibly not profitable at all. In addition, a construction project may be delayed due to government or regulatory approvals, supply shortages, or other events and circumstances beyond our control, or the time required to complete a construction project may be greater than originally anticipated. If any such excess costs or project delays were to be material, such events may adversely effect our cash flow and liquidity and thereby impact our ability to pay dividends or make distributions to our investors.

Debt financing could adversely affect our economic performance.

        Scheduled debt payments and refinancing could adversely affect our financial condition:    We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing. These risks, including the following, may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors:

    our cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest;

    payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to pay operating expenses;

    we may not be able to refinance indebtedness on our properties at maturity; and

    if refinanced, the terms of refinancing may not be as favorable as the original terms of the related indebtedness.

        As of December 31, 2008, we had total outstanding indebtedness of $2.2 billion comprised of $1.5 billion of senior unsecured notes, outstanding borrowings of $161 million under our $775 million revolving credit facility and approximately $531 million of mortgage loans payable and other obligations indebtedness. We may have to refinance the principal due on our current or future indebtedness at maturity, and we may not be able to do so.

14


Table of Contents

        If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, events or conditions that may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors include the following:

    we may need to dispose of one or more of our properties upon disadvantageous terms;

    prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing could increase interest rates and, therefore, our interest expense;

    we may be subject to an event of default pursuant to covenants for our indebtedness;

    if we mortgage property to secure payment of indebtedness and are unable to meet mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose upon such property or appoint a receiver to receive an assignment of our rents and leases; and

    foreclosures upon mortgaged property could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds and, therefore, hinder our ability to meet the real estate investment trust distribution requirements of the Code.

        We are obligated to comply with financial covenants in our indebtedness that could restrict our range of operating activities:    The mortgages on our properties contain customary negative covenants, including limitations on our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the property, to enter into new leases outside of stipulated guidelines or to materially modify existing leases. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains customary requirements, including restrictions and other limitations on our ability to incur debt, debt to assets ratios, secured debt to total assets ratios, interest coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. The indentures under which our senior unsecured debt have been issued contain financial and operating covenants including coverage ratios and limitations on our ability to incur secured and unsecured debt. These covenants limit our flexibility in conducting our operations and create a risk of default on our indebtedness if we cannot continue to satisfy them. Some of our debt instruments are cross-collateralized and contain cross default provisions with other debt instruments. Due to this cross-collateralization, a failure or default with respect to certain debt instruments or properties could have an adverse impact on us or our properties that are subject to the cross-collateralization under the applicable debt instrument. Failure to comply with these covenants could cause a default under the agreements and, in certain circumstances, our lenders may be entitled to accelerate our debt obligations. Defaults under our debt agreements could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

        Rising interest rates may adversely affect our cash flow:    As of December 31, 2008, outstanding borrowings of approximately $161 million under our revolving credit facility bear interest at variable rates. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future that also bears interest at variable rates. Variable rate debt creates higher debt service requirements if market interest rates increase. Higher debt service requirements could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors and/or cause us to default under certain debt covenants.

        Our degree of leverage could adversely affect our cash flow:    We fund acquisition opportunities and development partially through short-term borrowings (including our revolving credit facility), as well as from proceeds from property sales and undistributed cash. We expect to refinance projects purchased with short-term debt either with long-term indebtedness or equity financing depending upon the economic conditions at the time of refinancing. Our Board of Directors has a general policy of limiting the ratio of our indebtedness to total undepreciated assets (total debt as a percentage of total undepreciated assets) to 50 percent or less, although there is no limit in Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.'s or our organizational documents on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. However, we have entered into certain financial agreements which contain financial and operating covenants that limit our ability under certain circumstances to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness. The Board of

15


Table of Contents


Directors could alter or eliminate its current policy on borrowing at any time at its discretion. If this policy were changed, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors and/or could cause an increased risk of default on our obligations.

        We are dependent on external sources of capital for future growth:    To qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code, we must distribute to our shareholders each year at least 90 percent of our net taxable income, excluding any net capital gain. Because of this distribution requirement, it is not likely that we will be able to fund all future capital needs, including for acquisitions and developments, from income from operations. Therefore, we will have to rely on third-party sources of capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including the market's perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings. Moreover, additional equity offerings may result in substantial dilution of our shareholders' interests, and additional debt financing may substantially increase our leverage.

Competition for skilled personnel could increase our labor costs.

        We compete with various other companies in attracting and retaining qualified and skilled personnel. We depend on our ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel who are responsible for the day-to-day operations of our company. Competitive pressures may require that we enhance our pay and benefits package to compete effectively for such personnel. We may not be able to offset such added costs by increasing the rates we charge our tenants. If there is an increase in these costs or if we fail to attract and retain qualified and skilled personnel, our business and operating results could be harmed.

We are dependent on our key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.

        We are dependent upon our executive officers for strategic business direction and real estate experience. While we believe that we could find replacements for these key personnel, loss of their services could adversely affect our operations. We have entered into an employment agreement (including non-competition provisions) which provides for a continuous four-year employment term with each of Mitchell E. Hersh, Barry Lefkowitz and Roger W. Thomas, a continuous one-year employment term with Michael A. Grossman, and an initial three-year employment term with Mark Yeager which, as of May 9, 2009, shall convert to a continuous one-year employment term. We do not have key man life insurance for our executive officers.

Certain provisions of Maryland law and our charter and bylaws as well as our stockholder rights plan could hinder, delay or prevent changes in control.

        Certain provisions of Maryland law, our charter and our bylaws, as well as our stockholder rights plan have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing transactions that involve an actual or threatened change in control. These provisions include the following:

        Classified Board of Directors:    Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes with staggered terms of office of three years each. The classification and staggered terms of office of our directors make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of our board of directors. At least two annual meetings of stockholders, instead of one, generally would be required to affect a change in a majority of the board of directors.

        Removal of Directors:    Under our charter, subject to the rights of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect one or more directors, a director may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders generally

16


Table of Contents

in the election of directors. Neither the Maryland General Corporation Law nor our charter define the term "cause." As a result, removal for "cause" is subject to Maryland common law and to judicial interpretation and review in the context of the facts and circumstances of any particular situation.

        Number of Directors, Board Vacancies, Terms of Office:    We have, in our bylaws, elected to be subject to certain provisions of Maryland law which vest in the Board of Directors the exclusive right to determine the number of directors and the exclusive right, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, to fill vacancies on the board. These provisions of Maryland law, which are applicable even if other provisions of Maryland law or the charter or bylaws provide to the contrary, also provide that any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred, rather than the next annual meeting of stockholders as would otherwise be the case, and until his or her successor is elected and qualifies.

        Stockholder Requested Special Meetings:    Our bylaws provide that our stockholders have the right to call a special meeting only upon the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders at such meeting.

        Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Proposals:    Our bylaws require advance written notice for stockholders to nominate persons for election as directors at, or to bring other business before, any meeting of stockholders. This bylaw provision limits the ability of stockholders to make nominations of persons for election as directors or to introduce other proposals unless we are notified in a timely manner prior to the meeting.

        Exclusive Authority of the Board to Amend the Bylaws:    Our bylaws provide that our board of directors has the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of the bylaws or to make new bylaws. Thus, our stockholders may not effect any changes to our bylaws.

        Preferred Stock:    Under our charter, our Board of Directors has authority to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and to establish the terms, preferences and rights of any such series of preferred stock, all without approval of our stockholders.

        Duties of Directors with Respect to Unsolicited Takeovers:    Maryland law provides protection for Maryland corporations against unsolicited takeovers by limiting, among other things, the duties of the directors in unsolicited takeover situations. The duties of directors of Maryland corporations do not require them to (a) accept, recommend or respond to any proposal by a person seeking to acquire control of the corporation, (b) authorize the corporation to redeem any rights under, or modify or render inapplicable, any stockholders rights plan, (c) make a determination under the Maryland Business Combination Act or the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, or (d) act or fail to act solely because of the effect of the act or failure to act may have on an acquisition or potential acquisition of control of the corporation or the amount or type of consideration that may be offered or paid to the stockholders in an acquisition. Moreover, under Maryland law, the act of a director of a Maryland corporation relating to or affecting an acquisition or potential acquisition of control is not subject to any higher duty or greater scrutiny than is applied to any other act of a director. Maryland law also contains a statutory presumption that an act of a director of a Maryland corporation satisfies the applicable standards of conduct for directors under Maryland law.

        Ownership Limit:    In order to preserve our status as a real estate investment trust under the Code, our charter generally prohibits any single stockholder, or any group of affiliated stockholders, from beneficially owning more than 9.8 percent of our outstanding capital stock unless our Board of Directors waives or modifies this ownership limit.

        Maryland Business Combination Act:    The Maryland Business Combination Act provides that unless exempted, a Maryland corporation may not engage in business combinations, including mergers,

17


Table of Contents


dispositions of 10 percent or more of its assets, certain issuances of shares of stock and other specified transactions, with an "interested stockholder" or an affiliate of an interested stockholder, for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, and thereafter unless specified criteria are met. An interested stockholder is generally a person owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, 10 percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the Maryland corporation. Our board of directors has exempted from this statute business combinations between the Company and certain affiliated individuals and entities. However, unless our board adopts other exemptions, the provisions of the Maryland Business Combination Act will be applicable to business combinations with other persons.

        Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act:    Maryland law provides that "control shares" of a corporation acquired in a "control share acquisition" shall have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes eligible to cast on the matter under the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. "Control shares" means shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock previously acquired by the acquirer, would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of the voting power: one-tenth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority or a majority or more of all voting power. A "control share acquisition" means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions.

        If voting rights of control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are not approved at a stockholder's meeting, then subject to certain conditions and limitations, the issuer may redeem any or all of the control shares for fair value. If voting rights of such control shares are approved at a stockholder's meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act any acquisitions of shares by certain affiliated individuals and entities, any directors, officers or employees of the Company and any person approved by the board of directors prior to the acquisition by such person of control shares. Any control shares acquired in a control share acquisition which are not exempt under the foregoing provisions of our bylaws will be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act.

        Stockholder Rights Plan:    We have adopted a stockholder rights plan that may discourage any potential acquirer from acquiring more than 15 percent of our outstanding common stock since, upon this type of acquisition without approval of our Board of Directors, all other common stockholders will have the right to purchase a specified amount of common stock at a substantial discount from market price.

Consequences of failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust could adversely affect our financial condition.

        Failure to maintain ownership limits could cause us to lose our qualification as a real estate investment trust:    In order for us to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Code, not more than 50 percent in value of our outstanding stock may be actually and/or constructively owned by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities). We have limited the ownership of our outstanding shares of our common stock by any single stockholder to 9.8 percent of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors could waive this restriction if they were satisfied, based upon the advice of tax counsel or otherwise, that such action would be in our best interests and would not affect our qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Code. Common stock acquired or transferred in breach of the limitation may be redeemed by us for the lesser of the price paid and the average closing price for the 10 trading days immediately preceding redemption or sold at the direction of us. We may elect to redeem such shares of common stock for Units, which are nontransferable except in very limited circumstances. Any transfer of shares of common stock which, as a result of such transfer, causes us to be in violation of any ownership limit, will be deemed void. Although we currently intend to continue to operate in a manner which will

18


Table of Contents

enable us to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our Board of Directors to revoke the election for us to qualify as a real estate investment trust. Under our organizational documents, our Board of Directors can make such revocation without the consent of our stockholders.

        In addition, the consent of the holders of at least 85 percent of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.'s partnership units is required: (i) to merge (or permit the merger of) us with another unrelated person, pursuant to a transaction in which Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. is not the surviving entity; (ii) to dissolve, liquidate or wind up Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.; or (iii) to convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.'s assets. As of February 5, 2009, as general partner, we own approximately 82.1 percent of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.'s outstanding common partnership units.

        Tax liabilities as a consequence of failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust:    We have elected to be treated and have operated so as to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes since our taxable year ended December 31, 1994. Although we believe we will continue to operate in such manner, we cannot guarantee that we will do so. Qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the satisfaction of various requirements (some on an annual and some on a quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex tax provisions of the Code. Because few judicial or administrative interpretations of such provisions exist and qualification determinations are fact sensitive, we cannot assure you that we will qualify as a real estate investment trust for any taxable year.

        If we fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust in any taxable year, we will be subject to the following:

    we will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders;

    we will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any alternative minimum tax, if applicable; and

    unless we are entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we will not be permitted to qualify as a real estate investment trust for the four taxable years following the year during which we were disqualified.

        A loss of our status as a real estate investment trust could have an adverse effect on us. Failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust also would eliminate the requirement that we pay dividends to our stockholders.

        Other tax liabilities:    Even if we qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code, we are subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and, in some circumstances, certain other state and local taxes. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to federal, state and local income tax for income received in connection with certain non-customary services performed for tenants and/or third parties.

        Risk of changes in the tax law applicable to real estate investment trusts:    Since the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, we cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Any of such legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify our and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.'s tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect taxation of us, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., and/or our investors.

Changes in market conditions could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

        As with other publicly traded equity securities, the value of our common stock depends on various market conditions, which may change from time to time. The market price of our common stock could

19


Table of Contents


change in ways that may or may not be related to our business, our industry or our operating performance and financial condition. Among the market conditions that may affect the value of our common stock are the following:

    the extent of your interest in us;

    the general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of our equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate-based companies;

    our financial performance; and

    general stock and bond market conditions.

        The market value of our common stock is based primarily upon the market's perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings and cash dividends. Consequently, our common stock may trade at prices that are higher or lower than our net asset value per share of common stock.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and the notes thereto (collectively, the "Financial Statements"). Certain defined terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Financial Statements.


Executive Overview

        Mack-Cali Realty Corporation together with its subsidiaries, (the "Company") is one of the largest real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the United States. The Company has been involved in all aspects of commercial real estate development, management and ownership for over 50 years and has been a publicly-traded REIT since 1994. The Company owns or has interests in 293 properties (collectively, the "Properties"), primarily class A office and office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 33.5 million square feet, leased to approximately 2,100 tenants. The Properties are located primarily in suburban markets of the Northeast, some with adjacent, Company-controlled developable land sites able to accommodate up to 12.7 million square feet of additional commercial space.

        The Company's strategy is to be a significant real estate owner and operator in its core, high-barriers-to-entry markets, primarily in the Northeast.

        As an owner of real estate, almost all of the Company's earnings and cash flow is derived from rental revenue received pursuant to leased space at the Properties. Key factors that affect the Company's business and financial results include the following:

    the general economic climate;

    the occupancy rates of the Properties;

    rental rates on new or renewed leases;

    tenant improvement and leasing costs incurred to obtain and retain tenants;

    the extent of early lease terminations;

    operating expenses;

    cost of capital; and

    the extent of acquisitions, development and sales of real estate.

        Any negative effects of the above key factors could potentially cause a deterioration in the Company's revenue and/or earnings. Such negative effects could include: (1) failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire; (2) failure to renew or execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases; and (3) tenant defaults.

        A failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire or to execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases may be affected by several factors such as: (1) the local economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors; and (2) local real estate conditions, such as oversupply of office and office/flex space or competition within the market.

        The Company's core markets continue to be weak. The percentage leased in the Company's consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties was 91.3 percent at December 31, 2008, as compared to 92.7 percent at December 31, 2007 and 92.0 percent at December 31, 2006. Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future and leases that expire at the period end date. Leases that expired as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 aggregate 67,473, 146,261 and 103,477 square feet, respectively, or 0.2, 0.5 and 0.4 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively. Rental rates on the Company's space that was re-leased (based on first rents payable) during the year ended December 31, 2008 increased an average of 1.5 percent compared to rates that were in effect under the prior leases, as compared to a

43


Table of Contents


0.2 percent decrease in 2007 and a 0.2 percent decrease in 2006. The Company believes that vacancy rates may continue to increase in some of its markets through 2009 and possibly beyond. As a result, the Company's future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions.

        Deteriorating economic conditions have resulted in a reduction of the availability of financing and overall higher borrowing rates. These factors, coupled with a slowing economy, have reduced the volume of real estate transactions and created credit stresses on most businesses. On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Lehman leases 270,063 square feet of office space from the Company at 101 Hudson Street in Jersey City, New Jersey, which are scheduled to expire through 2018. Lehman has currently sublet 54.1 percent of its leased space to subtenants. Should Lehman's lease no longer be in effect, the subtenants would become direct tenants of the Company for the remainder of the term of their respective subleases. This would mitigate a portion of the Company's potential future loss of the Lehman lease as a result of Lehman's bankruptcy.

        The Company expects that the impact of the current state of the economy, including rising unemployment and the unprecedented volatility and illiquidity in the financial and credit markets, will continue to have a dampening effect on the fundamentals of its business, including increases in past due accounts, defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. These conditions would negatively affect the Company's future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. In addition to the financial constraints on the Company's tenants, many of the debt capital markets that real estate companies like the Company frequently access, such as the unsecured bond market and the convertible debt market, are not currently available to the Company on terms that management believes are economically attractive. Although the Company believes that the quality of its assets and its strong balance sheet will enable it to raise capital from other sources such as traditional term or secured loans from banks, pension funds and life insurance companies, these sources are lending fewer dollars, under stricter terms and at higher borrowing rates, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so on terms that are economically attractive or at all.

        The remaining portion of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should help the reader understand:

    critical accounting policies and estimates;

    results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007;

    results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006; and

    liquidity and capital resources.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management 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 reported period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. The Company's critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Company's financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies

and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

Rental Property:

        Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Interest capitalized by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $5.8 million, $5.1, million and $6.1 million, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.

        The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

        Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Leasehold interests
  Remaining lease term
Buildings and improvements   5 to 40 years
Tenant improvements   The shorter of the term of the
related lease or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment   5 to 10 years

        Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

        Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Table of Contents

        Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values which are based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and the Company's overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company's existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles will be amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

        On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company's rental properties may be impaired. A property's value is impaired only if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company's estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management's assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved.

Rental Property Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations:

        When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management's opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

        If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, Net:

        The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for which Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46") does not apply under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.

        FIN 46 provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights ("variable interest entities" or "VIEs") and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE (the "primary beneficiary"). Generally, FIN 46 applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of

46


Table of Contents


a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.

        On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company's investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management's estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment. The Company's estimates of value for each investment (particularly in commercial real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management's assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized.

Revenue Recognition:

        Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases. Escalations and recoveries from tenants are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs.

        Construction services revenue includes fees earned and reimbursements received by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients. Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method. Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of our estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts. A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract. This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates. Real estate services revenue includes property management, facilities management, leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Other income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services arranged for the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

        Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Management's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income.

        Base rents for the Same-Store Properties increased $7.9 million, or 1.4 percent, for 2008 as compared to 2007, due primarily to increased rental rates at certain properties in 2008 as compared to 2007. Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.6 million, or 1.6 percent, for 2008 over 2007, due primarily to an increase in amounts recovered from tenants resulting from higher utility expenses in 2008. Other income for the Same-Store Properties decreased $1.9 million, or 8.5 percent, due primarily to a decrease in lease termination fees of $0.7 million and garage rental fees of $0.4 million for 2008 as compared to 2007.

        Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties decreased $4.7 million, or 5.2 percent, for 2008 as compared to 2007, due primarily to reduced assessments and real estate tax refunds on certain properties in 2008, as compared to 2007. Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $10.6 million, or 14.5 percent, for 2008 as compared to 2007, due primarily to increased electric rates in 2008 as compared to 2007. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties decreased $2.3 million, or 2.1 percent, due primarily to decreases in snow removal costs of $0.9 million, property insurance expense of $0.9 million, property management salaries and related labor costs of $0.7 million, in 2008 as compared to 2007.

        Construction services revenue decreased $47.4 million, or 53.8 percent, in 2008 as compared to 2007, due to lesser activity in 2008 at The Gale Company and its related businesses. Real estate services revenues decreased by $4.5 million, or 24.9 percent, for 2008 as compared to 2007, due primarily to decreases in management fee income of $2.0 million, commissions income of $1.3 million, and salary reimbursements of $1.0 million.

        Direct construction costs decreased $47.5 million, or 55.8 percent, in 2008 as compared to 2007, due primarily to lesser activity of The Gale Company and its related businesses.

        General and administrative decreased by $8.2 million, or 15.7 percent, for 2008 as compared to 2007 due primarily to decreases in salaries and related expenses of $4.9 million, state tax expenses of $2.3 million and professional fees of $1.3 million for 2008 as compared to 2007.

        Depreciation and amortization increased by $11.1 million, or 6.0 percent, for 2008 over 2007. Of this increase, $3.8 million, or 2.1 percent, was attributable to the Same-Store Properties and $7.3 million, or 3.9 percent, was due to the Acquired Properties.

        Interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 1.2 percent, for 2008 as compared to 2007. This increase was primarily as a result of higher average debt balances in 2008 as compared to 2007, partially offset by lower interest rates in 2008 as compared to 2007.

        Interest and other investment income decreased $3.3 million, or 70.3 percent, for 2008 as compared to 2007. This decrease was due primarily to lower cash balances invested in 2008.

        Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $33.8 million, or 571.7 percent, for 2008 as compared to 2007. The decrease was due primarily to the recording of impairment charges of $27.1 million in the Mack-Green joint venture, and $11.9 million in the Boston-Downtown Crossing's joint venture. These were partially offset by increased income in 2008 of $1.6 million in the Harborside South Pier joint venture, a decreased operating loss of $1.4 million in the Mack-Green joint venture, a decreased loss of $1.1 million in the Route 93 joint venture, increased income of $0.6 million in the Gale Kimball joint venture, and a decreased loss of $0.5 million in the Ramland Realty joint venture in 2008 as compared to 2007.

        The Company recognized a gain on sale of investments in marketable securities of $0.5 million in 2008.

        The Company recognized a gain on reduction of other obligations of $9.1 million in 2008 due to a change in the Company's current estimates of payables under its remaining assumed lease obligations.

        Income from continuing operations before minority interest in Operating Partnership decreased to $65.5 million in 2008 from approximately $89.2 million in 2007. The decrease of $23.7 million was due to the factors discussed above.

        Net income available to common shareholders decreased by approximately $56.8 million, or 52.3 percent, from $108.5 million in 2007 to $51.7 million in 2008. This decrease was primarily the result of realized gains on disposition of rental property of $36.3 million in 2007, a decrease in income from continuing operations before minority interest in Operating Partnership of $23.7 million and a decrease in income from discontinued operations of approximately $1.1 million as compared to 2007. These were partially offset by a decrease in minority interest in Operating Partnership of $4.3 million for 2008 as compared to 2007.

        Base rents for the Same-Store Properties increased $19.8 million, or 3.7 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006, due primarily to an increase in the percentage of space leased at the properties in 2007 from 2006. Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties increased $9.1 million, or 10.1 percent, for 2007 over 2006, due primarily to an increased amount of total property expenses in 2007. Other income for the Same-Store Properties increased $2.0 million, or 9.4 percent, due primarily to an increase in lease termination fees in 2007.

        Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $1.7 million, or 1.9 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006, due primarily to property tax rate increases in certain municipalities in 2007, partially offset by reduced assessments on certain properties in 2007. Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $10.9 million, or 18.2 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006, due primarily to increased electric rates in 2007 as compared to 2006. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $8.9 million, or 8.2 percent, due primarily to increases in maintenance costs of $3.9 million, snow removal costs of $2.0 million, salaries and related expenses of $1.0 million, and property insurance expense of $0.7 million in 2007 as compared to 2006.

        Construction services revenue increased $31.8 million in 2007 as compared to 2006, due to the effect of the Gale/Green transactions completed in May 2006 ("Gale/Green Transactions"). Real estate services revenues decreased by $13.1 million, or 42.1 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006, due primarily to the contribution of the Gale facilities management business to an unconsolidated joint venture in late 2006.

        Direct construction costs increased $31.6 million in 2007 as compared to 2006, due primarily to the effect of the Gale/Green Transactions.

        General and administrative increased by $3.1 million, or 6.3 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006 due primarily to the effect of the Gale/Green Transactions.

        Depreciation and amortization increased by $24.5 million, or 15.4 percent, for 2007 over 2006. Of this increase, $8.8 million, or 5.5 percent, was attributable to the Same-Store Properties and $15.7 million, or 9.9 percent, was due to the Acquired Properties.

        Interest expense decreased $8.3 million, or 6.1 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006. This decrease was primarily as a result of lower average debt balances in 2007 as compared to 2006, partially due to the use of proceeds from the common stock offering in February 2007 to repay outstanding borrowings.

        Interest and other investment income increased $1.6 million, or 52.9 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006. This increase was due primarily to higher cash balances invested in 2007.

        Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $0.4 million, or 6.5 percent, for 2007 as compared to 2006. The decrease was due primarily to an increased loss of $2.1 million in the Route 93 joint venture and an increased loss of $1.7 million in the Mack-Green joint venture. These losses were partially offset by 2006 losses of $1.9 million in the Meadowlands Xanadu venture and $0.9 million in the G&G Martco venture, with no activity for these ventures in 2007, and an increased net income of $0.4 million in 2007 in the 12 Vreeland venture.

        The Company recognized a gain on sale of investment in marketable securities of $15.1 million in 2006.

        Gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures amounted to $10.8 million in 2006 from the sale of the Company's interest in the G&G Martco joint venture.

        Gain (loss) on sale of land and other assets amounted to a loss of $0.4 million in 2006 due to a loss on the sale of Gale Global Facilities and related companies in 2006 of $1.5 million, partially offset by a gain of $1.1 million from the sale of a parcel of land in Hamilton, New Jersey.

        Income from continuing operations before minority interest in Operating Partnership decreased to approximately $89.2 million in 2007 from $104.8 million in 2006. The decrease of approximately $15.6 million was due to the factors discussed above.

        Net income available to common shareholders decreased by $34.2 million, or 24.0 percent, from $142.7 million in 2006 to $108.5 million in 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of realized gains on disposition of rental property of $47.7 million in 2006, decrease in income from continuing operations before minority interest in Operating Partnership of approximately $15.6 million and a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $11.2 million for 2007 as compared to 2006. These were partially offset by realized gains on disposition of rental property of $36.3 million in 2007, and a decrease in minority interest in Operating Partnership in 2007 of $4.0 million as compared to 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Overview:

        Historically, rental revenue has been the principal source of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and dividends, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures. To the extent that the Company's cash flow from operating activities is insufficient to finance its non-recurring capital expenditures such as property acquisitions, development and construction costs and other capital expenditures, the Company has and expects to continue to finance such activities through borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt and equity financings.

        The Company believes that with the general downturn in the Company's markets in recent years, it is reasonably likely that vacancy rates may continue to increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may continue to decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may continue to increase in most or all of its markets in 2009 and possibly beyond. As a result of the potential negative effects on the Company's revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space, the Company's cash flow could be insufficient to cover increased tenant installation costs over the short-term. If this situation were to occur, the Company expects that it would finance any shortfalls through borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt and equity financings.

        The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its working capital, net cash provided by operating activities and from its revolving credit facility. The Company frequently examines potential property acquisitions and development projects and, at any given time, one or more of such acquisitions or development projects may be under consideration. Accordingly, the ability to fund property acquisitions and development projects is a major part of the Company's financing requirements. The Company expects to meet its financing requirements through funds generated from operating activities, proceeds from property sales, long-term and short-term borrowings (including draws on the Company's revolving credit facility) and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.

        Financial markets have recently experienced unusual volatility and uncertainty. Liquidity has tightened in all financial markets, including the debt and equity markets. The Company's ability to fund property acquisitions or development projects, as well as its ability to repay or refinance debt maturities could be adversely affected by an inability to secure financing at reasonable terms, if at all. While the Company currently does not expect any difficulties, it is possible, in these unusual and uncertain times, that one or more lenders in the Company's revolving credit facility could fail to fund a borrowing request. Such an event could adversely affect the ability of the Company to access funds from its revolving credit facility when needed.

        On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Lehman leases 270,063 square feet of office space from the Company at 101 Hudson Street in Jersey City, New Jersey, which are scheduled to expire through 2018. Lehman has currently sublet 54.1 percent of its leased space to subtenants. Should Lehman's lease no longer be in effect, the subtenants would become direct tenants of the Company for the remainder of the term of their respective subleases. This would mitigate a portion of the Company's potential future loss of the Lehman lease as a result of Lehman's bankruptcy.

        If economic conditions persist or deteriorate, the Company may experience increases in past due accounts, defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. This condition would negatively affect the Company's future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

Construction Projects:

        In July 2007, the Company commenced construction on a 250,000 square-foot, class A office building, which Wyndham Worldwide pre-leased for 15 years, on a land site located in the Company's Mack-Cali Business Campus in Parsippany, New Jersey. The building is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2009 at a total estimated cost of approximately $64.8 million (of which the Company has incurred $52.5 million through December 31, 2008).

        The Company is obligated to acquire from an entity (the "Florham Entity") whose beneficial owners include Stanley C. Gale and Mark Yeager, an executive officer of the Company, a 50 percent interest in a venture which owns a developable land parcel in Florham Park, New Jersey (the "Florham Park Land") for a maximum purchase price of up to $10.5 million, subject to reduction based on developable square feet approved and other conditions, with the completion of such acquisition subject to the Florham Entity obtaining final development permits and approvals and related conditions necessary to allow for office development expected to be 600,000 square feet. In the event the acquisition of the Florham Park Land does not close by May 9, 2010, subject to certain conditions, the Florham Entity will be obligated to pay certain deferred costs and an additional $1 million to the Company at that time.

        Sanofi-Aventis U.S. Inc. ("Sanofi"), which occupies neighboring buildings in Bridgewater, New Jersey, exercised its option to cause 55 Corporate Drive II LLC, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 50 percent interest, to construct a building on the venture's vacant, developable land and has signed a lease thereof. The lease has a term of fifteen years, subject to three five-year extension options. The construction of the 205,000 square foot building, estimated to cost approximately $36 million, is not required to commence until July 1, 2009 for a July 2011 delivery; however, if Sanofi gives a Construction Start Date Acceleration Notice in accordance with the provisions of its lease, then construction shall promptly commence after the necessary permits are obtained, even if such construction start date shall occur prior to July 1, 2009. The venture will seek construction financing for the project. In any event, the venture's operating agreement provides for Mack-Cali and its partner to share equally in any future venture costs.

REIT Restrictions:

        To maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code, the Company must make annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains. Moreover, the Company intends to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders. Based upon the most recently paid quarterly common stock dividend of $0.64 per common share, in the aggregate, such distributions would equal approximately $173.9 million on an annualized basis. However, any such distribution, whether for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, would be paid out of (a) available cash, including borrowings and other sources, after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock dividends and distributions, and scheduled debt service on the Company's debt, and (b) for distributions with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2009, our stock, as permitted pursuant to Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2009-15, 2009-4 I.R.B. 356. Under this Revenue Procedure, we are permitted to make taxable distributions of our stock (in lieu of cash) if (x) any such distribution is declared with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2009, and (y) each of our stockholders is permitted to elect to receive its entire entitlement under such declaration in either cash or shares of equivalent value subject to a limitation in the amount of cash to be distributed in the aggregate; provided that (i) the amount of cash that we set aside for distribution is not less than 10% of the aggregate distribution so declared, and (ii) if too many of our stockholders elect to receive cash, a pro rata amount of cash will be distributed to each such stockholder electing to receive cash, but in no event will any such stockholder receive less than its entire entitlement under such declaration.

Property Lock-Ups:

        The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprising 11 properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $203.5 million, which were originally contributed by certain unrelated common unitholders of the Operating Partnership, without the express written consent of such common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate specific common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the "Property Lock-Ups"). The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company's Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property. The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2016. Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the specific common unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, director; Martin S. Berger, a former director; and Timothy M. Jones, former president), the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, director, and John J. Cali, a former director). 126 of the Company's properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.8 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.

Unencumbered Properties:

        As of December 31, 2008, the Company had 238 unencumbered properties, totaling 24.8 million square feet, representing 84.9 percent of the Company's total portfolio on a square footage basis.

Credit Ratings:

        The Company has three investment grade credit ratings. Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") and Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch") have each assigned their BBB rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. Fitch has assigned its BBB- rating and S&P has assigned its BB+ rating to existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Company. Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has assigned its Baa2 rating to existing and prospective senior unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and its Baa3 rating to existing and prospective preferred stock offerings of the Company.


Cash Flows

        Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.1 million to $21.6 million at December 31, 2008, compared to $24.7 million at December 31, 2007. This decrease is comprised of the following net cash flow items:

Senior Unsecured Notes:

        The terms of the Company's senior unsecured notes (which totaled approximately $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2008) include certain restrictions and covenants which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum amount of debt leverage, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of debt service coverage and the maximum amount of unsecured debt as a percent of unsecured assets.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility:

        The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $775 million (expandable to $800 million). The facility matures in June 2011, with an extension option of one year, which would require a payment of 15 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the facility upon exercise. In addition, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company's competitive bid feature) is LIBOR plus 55 basis points at the BBB/Baa2 pricing level. As of February 5, 2009, the Company had $208 million of outstanding borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility.

        The facility has a competitive bid feature, which allows the Company to solicit bids from lenders under the facility to borrow up to $300 million at interest rates less than the current LIBOR plus 55 basis point spread. The Company may also elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender's prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The unsecured facility also requires a 15 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears.

        The interest rate and the facility fee are subject to adjustment, on a sliding scale, based upon the operating partnership's unsecured debt ratings. In the event of a change in the Operating Partnership's unsecured debt rating, the interest and facility fee rates will be adjusted in accordance with the following table:

Operating Partnership's Unsecured Debt Ratings: S&P Moody's/Fitch(a)

    37.5     12.5  

(a)
If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from two rating agencies, one of which is Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"), the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of such ratings. If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from three rating agencies, one of which is S&P or Moody's, the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of the two highest ratings. If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from only one agency, it will be considered to have no rating or less than BBB-/Baa3/BBB- per the above table.

        The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below; or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum

amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, if an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions with respect to common stock or other common equity interests except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

        The lending group for the credit facility consists of: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Agent"); Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent; Scotiabanc, Inc., Wachovia Bank, National Association, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agents; SunTrust Bank, as senior managing agent; US Bank National Association, Citicorp North America, Inc. and PNC Bank, National Association, as managing agents; and Bank of China, New York Branch, The Bank of New York; Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B., The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (successor by merger to UFJ Bank Limited), North Fork Bank, Bank Hapoalim B.M., Comerica Bank, Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, Ltd., New York Branch, First Commercial Bank, New York Agency, Mega International Commercial Bank Co. Ltd., New York Branch, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and Hua Nan Commercial Bank, New York Agency, as participants.

Money Market Loan:

        The Company entered into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to participate in a money market loan program ("Money Market Loan"). The Money Market Loan is an unsecured borrowing of up to $75 million arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank ("the lender") with maturities of 30 days or less. The rate of interest on the Money Market Loan borrowing is set at the time of each borrowing. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Money Market Loan program

Mortgages, Loans Payable and Other Obligations:

        The Company has mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Company's rental properties. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.

        On October 28, 2008, the Company obtained $240 million in mortgage financing from The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company and New York Life Insurance Company as co-lenders. The mortgage loan, which is collateralized by its Harborside Plaza 5 office property, bears interest at a rate of 6.8 percent per annum and carries a 10-year term. Proceeds from the loan were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility.

        On January 27, 2009, the Company obtained $64.5 million in mortgage financing from Guardian Life Insurance Company of America. The two mortgage loans, which are collateralized by one and three office properties located in Clark and Red Bank, New Jersey, respectively, both bear interest at a rate of 7.25 percent per annum and carry a 10-year term.

Debt Strategy:

        The Company does not intend to reserve funds to retire the Company's senior unsecured notes or its mortgages, loans payable and other obligations upon maturity. Instead, the Company will seek to refinance such debt at maturity or retire such debt through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities on or before the applicable maturity dates. If it cannot raise sufficient proceeds to retire the maturing debt, the Company may draw on its revolving credit facility to retire the maturing indebtedness, which would reduce the future availability of funds under such facility. As of February 5, 2009, the Company had $208 million in outstanding borrowings under its $775 million unsecured revolving credit facility, and no outstanding borrowings under the Money Market Loan. The Company

is reviewing various refinancing options, including the purchase of its senior unsecured notes in privately-negotiated transactions, the issuance of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt, preferred stock, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt, some or all of which may be completed during 2009. The Company currently anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company's capital and liquidity needs in the short term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, due to current economic conditions or otherwise, the Company's ability to make the expected distributions discussed in "REIT Restrictions" above may be adversely affected.

        Many commercial real estate lenders have substantially tightened underwriting standards or have withdrawn from the lending marketplace. Also, spreads in the investment grade bond market have substantially widened. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of debt financing. As a result, the Company expects debt financings will be more difficult to obtain and that borrowing costs on new and refinanced debt will be more expensive. Moreover, the recent volatility in the financial markets, in general, will make it more difficult or costly, or even impossible, for the Company to raise capital through the issuance of common stock, preferred stock or other equity instruments or through public issuances of debt securities from its shelf registration statements as it has been able to do in the past. Accordingly, the Company may have to explore other alternatives to fund the Company's operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and dividends. Whereas the Company expects to be able to do so, there can be no assurance it will be successful or on what terms.

Share Repurchase Program:

        The Company has a share repurchase program which was authorized by its Board of Directors in September 2007 to purchase up to $150 million of the Company's outstanding common stock ("Repurchase Program"), which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $46 million.

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

        The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the "DRIP") which commenced in March 1999 under which 5.5 million shares of the Company's common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant's dividends from the Company's shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company's effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the 5.5 million shares of the Company's common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

Shelf Registration Statements:

        The Company has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, and/or warrants of the Company, under which no securities have been sold through February 5, 2009.

        The Company and the Operating Partnership also have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.5 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and guarantees of the Company and debt securities of the Operating Partnership, under which no securities have been sold as of February 5, 2009.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt:

        The debt of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures are generally non-recourse to the Company except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations. The Company has also posted a $6.7 million letter of credit in support of the Harborside South Pier joint venture, $3.4 million of which is indemnified by Hyatt Corporation, the Company's joint venture partner.

        The Company's off-balance sheet arrangements are further discussed in Note 3: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures to the Financial Statements.

Inflation

        The Company's leases with the majority of its tenants provide for recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant's proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, which reduce the Company's exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        We consider portions of this information, including the documents incorporated by reference, to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of such act. Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations and projections of revenue and other financial items. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "plan," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue" or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

        Among the factors about which we have made assumptions are:

    risks and uncertainties affecting the general economic climate and conditions, including the impact of the general economic recession as it impacts the national and local economies, which in turn may have a negative effect on the fundamentals of our business and the financial condition of our tenants;

    the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis;

    the extent of any tenant bankruptcies or of any early lease terminations;

63


Table of Contents

    our ability to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents;

    changes in the supply of and demand for office, office/flex and industrial/warehouse properties;

    changes in interest rate levels and volatility in the security markets;

    changes in operating costs;

    our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts;

    the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt and our future interest expense;

    changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters; and

    other risks associated with the development and acquisition of properties, including risks that the development may not be completed on schedule, that the tenants will not take occupancy or pay rent, or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing its business plan, the primary market risk to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Company's yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors.

        Approximately $2.0 billion of the Company's long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows (in thousands) based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt. The interest rate on the variable rate debt as of December 31, 2008 was LIBOR plus 55 basis points.

December 31, 2008 Debt, including current portion ($'s in thousands)
  2009   2010   2011   2012   2013   Thereafter   Total   Fair Value  

Fixed Rate

  $ 208,911   $ 339,131   $ 305,251   $ 215,934   $ 150,833   $ 844,415   $ 2,064,475   $ 1,672,684  

Average Interest Rate

    7.40 %   5.27 %   7.90 %   6.14 %   5.25 %   5.82 %   6.19 %      

Variable Rate

              $ 161,000                     $ 161,000   $ 151,867  

        While the Company has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in losses to the Company which could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.

ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

        The information required by Item 8 is contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, together with the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the report of independent registered public accounting firm, filed with this annual report on Form 10-K, see Item 15: Exhibits and Financial Statements.

        None.

ITEM 9A.    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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) 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 the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

        Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.    Internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has established and maintained policies and procedures designed to maintain the adequacy of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, and includes those policies and procedures that:

    (1)
    Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

    (2)
    Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

    (3)
    Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        The Company's management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment and those criteria, the Company's management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation:

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION

        Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), is a fully-integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") providing leasing, management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its properties and third parties. As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned or had interests in 293 properties plus developable land (collectively, the "Properties"). The Properties aggregate approximately 33.5 million square feet, which are comprised of 282 buildings, primarily office and office/flex buildings totaling approximately 33.1 million square feet (which include 37 buildings, primarily office buildings aggregating approximately 4.3 million square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, two retail properties totaling approximately 17,300 square feet, one hotel (which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest) and two parcels of land leased to others. The Properties are located in six states, primarily in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies—Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, Net for the Company's treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental
Property
  Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Included in total rental property is construction, tenant improvements and development in-progress of $143,010,000 and $126,470,000 (including land of $70,709,000 and $68,328,000) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

 

 

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

 
 
Leasehold interests
  Remaining lease term

  Buildings and improvements   5 to 40 years

  Tenant improvements   The shorter of the term of the
related lease or useful life

  Furniture, fixtures and equipment   5 to 10 years

 

    Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

 

 

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value, (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and the Company's overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company's existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

 

 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company's real estate properties held for use may be impaired. A property's value is impaired only if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Company's estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management's assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved.

Rental Property
Held for Sale and
Discontinued
Operations

 

When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management's opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 6: Discontinued Operations.

    If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

Investments in
Unconsolidated
Joint Ventures, Net

 

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for which Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46") does not apply under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.

 

 

FIN 46 provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights ("variable interest entities" or "VIEs") and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE (the "primary beneficiary"). Generally, FIN 46 applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.

 

 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company's investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management's estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment. The Company's estimates of value for each investment (particularly in commercial real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management's assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized. See Note 3: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

Cash and Cash
Equivalents
  All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Marketable
Securities

 

The Company classifies its marketable securities among three categories: Held-to-maturity, trading and available-for-sale. Unrealized holding gains and losses relating to available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity until realized. A decline in the market value of any marketable security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. Any impairment would be charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security established.

 

 

The Company received dividend income of approximately $65,000 from its holdings in marketable securities during the year ended December 31, 2008, which is included in interest and other investment income. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company disposed of its marketable securities and realized a gain of $471,000.

Deferred
Financing Costs

 

Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related indebtedness. Amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $2,873,000, $2,808,000 and $3,157,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Deferred
Leasing Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties. The portion of such compensation, which is capitalized and amortized, approximated $3,690,000, $4,132,000 and $3,749,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Derivative
Instruments

 

The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company's rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income ("OCI") and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

Revenue
Recognition
  Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases. Escalations and recoveries from tenants are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. See Note 14: Tenant Leases. Construction services revenue includes fees earned and reimbursements received by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients. Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method. Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts. A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract. This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates. Real estate services revenue includes property management, facilities management, leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients. Other income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts

 

Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectibility of those balances. Management's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income.

Income and
Other Taxes
  The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax (including alternative minimum tax) on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the Company satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. The Company has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a "TRS"). In general, a TRS of the Company may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.

 

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FAS No. 109") on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in general and administrative expense.

Earnings
Per Share

 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount.

Dividends and
Distributions
Payable

 

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2008 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares) and common shareholders (66,419,764 shares), and distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (14,437,731 common units) for all such holders of record as of January 6, 2009 with respect to the fourth quarter 2008. The fourth quarter 2008 preferred stock dividends of $50.00 per share, common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.64 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on December 9, 2008. The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on January 12, 2009. The preferred stock dividends payable were paid on January 15, 2009.

    The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2007 represents dividends payable to preferred shareholders (10,000 shares) and common shareholders (65,637,709 shares), and distributions payable to minority interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (14,985,538 common units) for all such holders of record as of January 4, 2008 with respect to the fourth quarter 2007. The fourth quarter 2007 preferred stock dividends of $50.00 per share, common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.64 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on December 4, 2007. The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on January 14, 2008. The preferred stock dividends payable were paid on January 15, 2008.

 

 

The Company has determined that the $2.56 dividend per common share paid during the year ended December 31, 2008 represented approximately 81 percent ordinary income, approximately 18 percent return of capital and approximately one percent capital gain to its stockholders; the $2.56 dividend per common share paid during the year ended December 31, 2007 represented 80 percent ordinary income and approximately 20 percent capital gain to its stockholders; and the $2.53 dividend per common share paid during the year ended December 31, 2006 represented approximately 81 percent ordinary income and approximately 19 percent capital gain to its stockholders.

Costs Incurred
For Stock
Issuances

 

Costs incurred in connection with the Company's stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Stock
Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock options and restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations ("APB No. 25"). Under APB No. 25, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted. Compensation cost for stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The Company's policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of the Company's stock on the business day preceding the grant date. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under the Company's stock option plans for the granting of stock options made prior to 2002. Restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 are valued at the vesting dates of such awards with compensation cost for such awards recognized ratably over the vesting period.

These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock ("Restricted Stock Awards") and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded restricted stock and stock options expense of $4,870,000, $6,470,000 and $6,360,000, respectively.

3. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES (Continued)


Mack-Green was approximately $125 million, which was funded primarily through borrowing under the Company's revolving credit facility. The OP LP owns 100 percent of entities which owned 25 office properties (the "OP LP Properties") which aggregated 3.5 million square feet (consisting of 17 office properties aggregating 2.3 million square feet located in New Jersey and eight properties aggregating 1.2 million square feet located in Troy, Michigan), as well as a minor, non-controlling interest in four office properties aggregating 419,000 square feet located in Naperville, Illinois, which was subsequently sold. In December 2007, the OP LP sold its eight properties located in Troy, Michigan for $83.5 million. The venture recognized a loss of approximately $22.3 million from the sale. Included in the Company's equity in earnings in 2007 was $223,000 in loss related to the sale.

        As defined in the Mack-Green operating agreement, the Company shares decision-making equally with SL Green regarding: (i) all major decisions involving the operations of Mack-Green; and (ii) overall general partner responsibilities in operating the OP LP.

        The Mack-Green operating agreement generally provides for profits and losses to be allocated as follows:

    (i)
    99 percent of Mack-Green's share of the profits and losses from 10 specific OP LP Properties allocable to the Company and one percent allocable to SL Green;

    (ii)
    one percent of Mack-Green's share of the profits and losses from eight specific OP LP Properties and its minor interest in four office properties allocable to the Company and 99 percent allocable to SL Green; and

    (iii)
    50 percent of all other profits and losses allocable to the Company and 50 percent allocable to SL Green.

        Substantially all of the OP LP Properties are encumbered by mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $276.8 million at December 31, 2008. $186.5 million of the mortgage loans bear interest at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.26 percent per annum and mature at various times through May 2016. $90.3 million of the mortgage loans bear interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points per annum and mature in May 2009. The floating rate mortgage loans are provided by an affiliate of SL Green. Based on the venture's anticipated holding period pertaining to six of its properties encumbered by a floating-rate mortgage loan that matures on May 9, 2009, the venture believes that the carrying amounts of these properties may not be recoverable at December 31, 2008. Accordingly, as the venture determined that its carrying value of these properties exceeded the estimated fair value, it recorded an impairment charge of approximately $32.3 million on its rental property as of December 31, 2008. Included in the Company's equity in earnings (loss) at December 31, 2008 is $27 million in loss related to the impairment charge.

        The Company performs management, leasing, and construction services for the properties owned by the joint venture and recognized $5.2 million, $5.2 million and $2.1 million in income (net of $3.5 million, $3.3 million and $3.4 million in direct costs) for such services in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        The Company has determined that as of December 31, 2008, Mack-Green met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. The separate financial statements of Mack-Green required pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X shall be filed by an amendment to the

GE/GALE FUNDING LLC (PFV)

        The Gale agreement signed as part of the Gale/Green transactions in May 2006 provides for the Company to acquire certain ownership interests in real estate projects (the "Non-Portfolio Properties"), subject to obtaining certain third party consents and the satisfaction of various project-related and/or other conditions. Each of the Company's acquired interests in the Non-Portfolio Properties provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter an affiliate of Mr. Gale ("Gale Affiliate") has participation rights ("Gale Participation Rights") in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Company's capital contributions, plus (b) an internal rate of return ("IRR") of 10 percent per annum, accruing on the date or dates of the Company's investments.

        On May 9, 2006, as part of the Gale/Green transactions, the Company acquired from a Gale Affiliate for $1.8 million a 50 percent controlling interest in GMW Village Associates, LLC ("GMW Village"). GMW Village holds a 20 percent interest in GE/Gale Funding LLC ("GE Gale"). GE Gale owns a 100 percent interest in the entity owning Princeton Forrestal Village, a mixed-use, office/retail complex aggregating 527,015 square feet and located in Plainsboro, New Jersey ("Princeton Forrestal Village" or "PFV").

        In addition to the cash consideration paid to acquire the interest, the Company provided a Gale affiliate with the Gale Participation Rights.

        The operating agreement of GE Gale, which is owned 80 percent by GEBAM, Inc., provides for, among other things, distributions of net cash flow, initially, in proportion to each member's interest and subject to adjustment upon achievement of certain financial goals, as defined in the operating agreement.

        GE Gale has a mortgage loan with a balance of $52.8 million at December 31, 2008. The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points and matures on January 9, 2010, with an extension option through January 9, 2011.

        The Company performs management, leasing, and other services for PFV and recognized $881,000, $1.1 million and $956,000 in income (net of $288,000, $1.6 million and $7.0 million in direct costs) for such services in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        The Route 93 Ventures has a mortgage loan with an amount not to exceed $58.6 million, with a $43.5 million balance at December 31, 2008 collateralized by its office properties. The loan provides the venture the ability to draw additional monies for qualified leasing and capital improvement costs. The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 220 basis points and matures on July 11, 2009, with two one-year extension options.

        The Company had performed services for Route 93 Master LLC and Route 93 Bedford Master LLC and recognized $45,000 and $0 in fees for such services for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

GALE KIMBALL, L.L.C.

        On June 15, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture with a Gale Affiliate to form M-C Kimball, LLC ("M-C Kimball").

7. SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES (Continued)

        On November 17, 2008, the Company accepted for purchase $100.3 million principal amount of its 7.25 percent Senior Unsecured Notes due March 15, 2009 (the "Notes"), validly tendered pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offer on November 6, 2008 (the "Tender Offer"). The Notes accepted for purchase represented approximately 33.4 percent of the principal amount of Notes outstanding prior to the Tender Offer. The aggregate consideration for Notes accepted for payment, including accrued and unpaid interest, was approximately $101.5 million, which was funded primarily from borrowing on the Company's revolving credit facility. The Notes purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer have been cancelled and approximately $199.7 million principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding.

8. UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

        The Company has a $775 million unsecured credit facility with a group of 23 Lenders. The facility matures in June 2011, with an extension option of one year, which would require a payment of 15 basis points of the then borrowing capacity of the facility upon exercise. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company's competitive bid feature) is LIBOR plus 55 basis points at the BBB/Baa2 pricing level.

        The facility has a competitive bid feature, which allows the Company to solicit bids from lenders under the facility to borrow up to $300 million at interest rates less than the current LIBOR plus 55 basis point spread. The Company may also elect an interest rate representing the higher of the lender's prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The unsecured facility also requires a 15 basis point facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears.

        The interest rate and the facility fee are subject to adjustment, on a sliding scale, based upon the Operating Partnership's unsecured debt ratings. In the event of a change in the Operating Partnership's unsecured debt rating, the interest and facility fee rates will be adjusted in accordance with the following table:

Operating Partnership's
Unsecured Debt Ratings:
S&P Moody's/Fitch(a)
  Interest Rate—
Applicable Basis Points
Above LIBOR
  Facility Fee
Basis Points
 

No ratings or less than BBB-/Baa3/BBB-

    100.0     25.0  

BBB-/Baa3/BBB-

    75.0     20.0  

BBB/Baa2/BBB (current)

    55.0     15.0  

BBB+/Baa1/BBB+

    42.5     15.0  

A-/A3/A- or higher

    37.5     12.5  

(a)
If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from two rating agencies, one of which is Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"), the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of such ratings. If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from three rating agencies, one of which is S&P or Moody's, the rates per the above table shall be based on the lower of the two highest ratings. If the Operating Partnership has debt ratings from only one agency, it will be considered to have no rating or less than BBB-/Baa3/BBB- per the above table.

        The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness,

the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, if an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions with respect to common stock or other common equity interests except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

        The lending group for the credit facility consists of: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Agent"); Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent; Scotiabanc, Inc., Wachovia Bank, National Association; and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agents; SunTrust Bank, as senior managing agent; US Bank National Association, Citicorp North America, Inc.; and PNC Bank National Association, as managing agents; and Bank of China, New York Branch; The Bank of New York; Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B.; The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC; Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd.; The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.

        As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $161 million and $250 million, respectively, under its unsecured revolving credit facility.

MONEY MARKET LOAN

        The Company has an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to participate in a money market loan program ("Money Market Loan"). The Money Market Loan is an unsecured borrowing of up to $75 million arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank with maturities of 30 days or less. The rate of interest on the Money Market Loan borrowing is set at the time of each borrowing. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Money Market Loan.

9. MORTGAGES, LOANS PAYABLE AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

        The Company has mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which primarily consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Company's rental properties. As of December 31, 2008, 17 of the Company's properties, with a total book value of approximately $954 million, are encumbered by the Company's mortgages and loans payable. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.

        On October 28, 2008, the Company obtained $240 million in mortgage financing from The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company and New York Life Insurance Company as co-lenders. The mortgage loan, which is collateralized by its Harborside Plaza 5 office property, bears interest at a rate of 6.8 percent per annum and carries a 10-year term. Proceeds from the loan were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility.

the Company, and (ii) interests in consolidated joint ventures for the portion of such properties not owned by the Company.

OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

Preferred Units

        The Operating Partnership has one class of outstanding Preferred Units, the Series C Preferred Units, which is described as follows:

Series C

        In connection with the Company's issuance of $25 million of Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, the Company acquired from the Operating Partnership $25 million of Series C Preferred Units (the "Series C Preferred Units"), which have terms essentially identical to the Series C preferred stock. See Note 15: Stockholders' Equity—Preferred Stock.

Common Units

        Certain individuals and entities own common units in the Operating Partnership. A common unit and a share of common stock of the Company have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Common units are redeemable by the common unitholders at their option, subject to certain restrictions, on the basis of one common unit for either one share of common stock or cash equal to the fair market value of a share at the time of the redemption. The Company has the option to deliver shares of common stock in exchange for all or any portion of the cash requested. The common unitholders may not put the units for cash to the Company or the Operating Partnership. When a unitholder redeems a common unit, minority interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced and the Company's investment in the Operating Partnership is increased.

CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

        The Company has ownership interests in certain joint ventures which it consolidates. Various entities and/or individuals hold minority interests in these ventures.

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS

        Employees of the Company, other than those assigned to the Gale Company and affiliated employers, who meet certain minimum age and service requirements are eligible to participate in the Mack-Cali Realty Corporation 401(k) Savings/Retirement Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). Eligible employees may elect to defer from 1 percent up to 30 percent of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis to the 401(k) Plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. The Company may make discretionary matching or profit sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible participants in any plan year. Participants are always 100 percent vested in their pre-tax contributions and will begin vesting in any matching or profit sharing contributions made on their behalf after two years of service with the

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS (Continued)


Company at a rate of 20 percent per year, becoming 100 percent vested after a total of six years of service with the Company. All contributions are allocated as a percentage of compensation of the eligible participants for the Plan year. The assets of the 401(k) Plan are held in trust and a separate account is established for each participant. A participant may receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance in the 401(k) Plan in a single sum or in installment payments upon his or her termination of service with the Company. Total expense recognized by the Company for the 401(k) Plan for each of the three years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $471,000, $400,000 and $400,000, respectively.

        All employees of the Gale Company and other affiliated participating employers, other than certain employees who are represented for collective bargaining purposes by a labor organization, who attained age 201/2 and completed one-half year of service with a participating employer were eligible to participate in the Gale Company Employee Savings Plan (the "Gale Plan"). The Gale Plan permitted eligible employees to defer their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. The amounts contributed by employees were immediately vested and non-forfeitable. The Gale Company or the participant's employer were able to match the employee's deferral at the rate of 50 percent of the first six percent of the employee's annual compensation for employees who have at least 1,000 hours of service and are employed on the last day of the plan year. In addition, the Company, at management's discretion, was able to make discretionary contributions. Participants become 50 percent vested in employer contributions after two years of service and become 100 percent vested after three years. The assets of the Gale Plan were held in trust and a separate account was established for each participant. A participant may receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance in the Gale Plan in a single sum or in installment payments or in the form of an annuity upon his or her termination of service with the Company. Effective April 1, 2007, the Gale Plan was merged into the 401(k) Plan. In accordance with the Gale/Green transactions, the Company continued to make matching contributions to former Gale Plan participants under the Gale Plan matching contribution formula through the payroll period ending May 4, 2007. Moreover, federal law requires the Company to preserve (i) the Gale Plan vesting schedule for certain Gale Plan participants with three or more years of service as of May 4, 2007 and (ii) certain benefits previously offered under the Gale Plan. Total expense recognized by the Company for the Gale Plan for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $111,000 and $370,000, respectively.

12. DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

        Cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

12. DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

        The fair value of the Company's long-term debt, consisting of senior unsecured notes, unsecured revolving credit facility and mortgages, loans payable and other obligations aggregate approximately $1.8 billion as compared to the book value of approximately $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2008. The fair value of the long-term debt approximated the book value as of December 31, 2007. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated on a level 2 basis (as provided by FASB Statement No. 157), using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the mortgage debt and the unsecured notes was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.

        Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2008 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS

Harborside Financial Center

        Pursuant to agreements with the City of Jersey City, New Jersey, the Company is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes ("PILOT") on certain of its properties located in Jersey City, as follows:

      The Harborside Plaza 4-A agreement, which commenced in 2000, is for a term of 20 years. The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project costs, as defined, and increases by 10 percent in years 7, 10 and 13 and by 50 percent in year 16. Total Project costs, as defined, are $45.5 million. The PILOT totaled $1,001,000, $1,001,000 and $910,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

      The Harborside Plaza 5 agreement, as amended, which commenced in 2002 upon substantial completion of the property, as defined, is for a term of 20 years. The PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs. Total Project Costs, as defined, are $159.6 million. The PILOT totaled $3.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

        Total Project Costs for Harborside Plaza 5 and Harborside Plaza 4-A are currently being reviewed by the City of Jersey City. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of such reviews will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

        At the conclusion of the above-referenced PILOT agreements, it is expected that the properties will be assessed by the municipality and be subject to real estate taxes at the then prevailing rates.

LITIGATION

        The Company is a defendant in litigation arising in the normal course of its business activities. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition taken as whole.

OTHER

        The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprising 11 properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $203.5 million, which were originally contributed by certain unrelated common unitholders, without the express written consent of such common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate specific common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the "Property Lock-Ups"). The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company's Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property. The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2016. Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the specific common unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, director; Martin S. Berger, a former director; and Timothy M. Jones, former president), the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, director, and John J. Cali, a former director). 126 of the Company's properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.8 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.

14. TENANT LEASES

        The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2029. Substantially all of the leases provide for annual base rents plus recoveries and escalation charges

15. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

        To maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50 percent in value of the outstanding shares of the Company may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of any taxable year of the Company, other than its initial taxable year (defined to include certain entities), applying certain constructive ownership rules. To help ensure that the Company will not fail this test, the Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the Company must maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demands written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.

PREFERRED STOCK

        The Company has 10,000 shares of eight-percent Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock issued and outstanding ("Series C Preferred Stock") in the form of 1,000,000 depositary shares ($25 stated value per depositary share). Each depositary share represents 1/100th of a share of Series C Preferred Stock.

        The Series C Preferred Stock has preference rights with respect to liquidation and distributions over the common stock. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, except under certain limited conditions, will not be entitled to vote on any matters. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on the Company's Board of Directors until dividends have been paid in full. At December 31, 2008, there were no dividends in arrears. The Company may issue unlimited additional preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock but may not issue any preferred stock senior to the Series C Preferred Stock without the consent of two-thirds of its holders. The Series C Preferred Stock is essentially on an equivalent basis in priority with the Preferred Units.

        The Series C Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at $25 per depositary share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

        On September 12, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the Company's repurchase program under which the Company was permitted to purchase up to $150 million of the Company's outstanding common stock ("Repurchase Program"). The Company has purchased and retired 2,893,630 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $104 million through December 31, 2008 under the Repurchase Program. The Company has a remaining authorization to repurchase up to approximately $46 million of its outstanding common stock, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

        The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the "DRIP") which commenced in March 1999 under which 5.5 million shares of the Company's common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant's dividends from the Company's shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company's effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the 5.5 million shares of the Company's common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

        On June 10, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right ("Right") for each outstanding share of common stock which were distributed to all holders of record of the common stock on July 6, 1999. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A junior participating preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Preferred Shares"), at a price of $100.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share ("Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment as provided in the rights agreement. The Rights expire on July 6, 2009, unless the expiration date is extended or the Right is redeemed or exchanged earlier by the Company.

        The Rights are attached to each share of common stock. The Rights are generally exercisable only if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 15 percent or more of the outstanding common stock or announces a tender offer for 15 percent or more of the outstanding common stock ("Acquiring Person"). In the event that a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right will have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock having a market value equal to two times the Purchase Price of the Right.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

        In May 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan under which a total of 2,500,000 shares have been reserved for issuance. No options have been granted through December 31, 2008 under this plan. In September 2000, the Company established the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan ("2000 Employee Plan") and the Amended and Restated 2000 Director Stock Option Plan ("2000 Director Plan"). In May 2002, shareholders of the Company approved amendments to both plans to

108

15. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)


increase the total shares reserved for issuance under both of the 2000 plans from 2,700,000 to 4,350,000 shares of the Company's common stock (from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 shares under the 2000 Employee Plan and from 200,000 to 350,000 shares under the 2000 Director Plan). In 1994, and as subsequently amended, the Company established the Mack-Cali Employee Stock Option Plan ("Employee Plan") and the Mack-Cali Director Stock Option Plan ("Director Plan") under which a total of 5,380,188 shares (subject to adjustment) of the Company's common stock had been reserved for issuance (4,980,188 shares under the Employee Plan and 400,000 shares under the Director Plan). As the Employee Plan and Director Plan expired in 2004, stock options may no longer be issued under those plans. Stock options granted under the Employee Plan in 1994 and 1995 became exercisable over a three-year period. Stock options granted under the 2000 Employee Plan and those options granted subsequent to 1995 under the Employee Plan become exercisable over a five-year period. All stock options granted under both the 2000 Director Plan and Director Plan become exercisable in one year. All options were granted at the fair market value at the dates of grant and have terms of ten years. As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 3.3 and 4.1 years, respectively. Stock options exercisable at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 3.5 and 4.0 years, respectively.

$832,000, $3.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The Company has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.

        The Company recognized stock options expense of $0, $132,000 and $465,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had $7.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Company's stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.4 years.

    STOCK COMPENSATION

        The Company has issued stock awards ("Restricted Stock Awards") to officers, certain other employees, and nonemployee members of the Board of Directors of the Company, which allow the holders to each receive a certain amount of shares of the Company's common stock generally over a one to seven-year vesting period, of which 375,006 unvested shares were outstanding at December 31, 2008. Of the outstanding Restricted Stock Awards issued to executive officers and senior management, 232,586 are contingent upon the Company meeting certain performance goals to be set by the Committee each year, with the remaining based on time and service. All Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers and certain other employees were issued under the 2000 Employee Plan and the Employee Plan. Restricted Stock Awards provided to directors were issued under the 2000 Director Plan.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS

        The Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which commenced January 1, 1999, allows non-employee directors of the Company to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their annual retainer fee into deferred stock units. The deferred stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the directors' termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plan. Deferred stock units are credited to each director quarterly using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating director's account is also credited for an equivalent amount of deferred stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.

        During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, 12,889, 8,054 and 6,266 deferred stock units were earned, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were 55,446 and 44,179 director stock units outstanding, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

        The following information presents the Company's results for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 in accordance with FASB No. 128: (dollars in thousands)

17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        William L. Mack, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company ("W. Mack"), David S. Mack, a director of the Company, and Earle I. Mack, a former director of the Company ("E. Mack"), are the executive officers, directors and stockholders of a corporation that leases approximately 7,801 square feet at one of the Company's office properties, which is scheduled to expire in November 2011. The Company has recognized $258,000, $233,000 and $228,000 in revenue under this lease for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and had no accounts receivable from the corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

        The Company has conducted business with certain entities ("RMC Entity" or "RMC Entities"), whose principals include Timothy M. Jones, Robert F. Weinberg and Martin S. Berger, each of whom are affiliated with the Company as the former president of the Company, a current member of the Board of Directors and a former member of the Board of Directors of the Company, respectively. In connection with the Company's acquisition of 65 Class A properties from The Robert Martin Company ("Robert Martin") on January 31, 1997, as subsequently modified, the Company granted Robert Martin the right to designate one seat on the Company's Board of Directors ("RM Board Seat"), which right has since expired. The RM Board Seat had historically been shared between Robert F. Weinberg and Martin S. Berger, each of whom had agreed that, for so long as either of them serves on the Board of Directors, that such board seat would be rotated among Mr. Berger and Mr. Weinberg annually at the time of each annual meeting of stockholders. At the Company's 2003 annual meeting of stockholders, Mr. Berger was elected to the Board of Directors and he continued to share his board seat with Mr. Weinberg. At the Company's 2006 annual meeting of stockholders, Mr. Weinberg was elected to the Board of Directors and he resigned after the Company's 2007 annual meeting of stockholder and Mr. Berger was appointed to his board seat. At the Company's 2008 annual meeting of Stockholders, Mr. Berger resigned and Mr. Weinberg was appointed to his board seat. The business that the Company has conducted with RMC Entities was as follows:

    (1)
    The Company provides management, leasing and construction-related services to properties in which RMC Entities have an ownership interest. The Company recognized approximately $2.5 million, $2 million and $2 million in revenue from RMC Entities for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company had $161,000 and $319,000 accounts receivable from RMC Entities.

    (2)
    An RMC Entity leased space at one of the Company's office properties for approximately 4,860 square feet, which, after a three-year renewal signed in October 2008, is scheduled to expire in October 2011. The Company has recognized $133,000, $132,000 and $119,000, in revenue under this lease for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively,

      and had no accounts receivable due from the RMC Entity, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

        Through June 2007, Mr. Berger held a 24 percent interest, acted as chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Weinberg also held a 24 percent interest and was a director, and W. Mack held a nine percent interest and was a director of City and Suburban Federal Savings Bank and/or one of its affiliates, which leases 12,842 square feet of space at one of the Company's office properties, which was scheduled to expire in April 2013. In July 2007, Mssrs. Berger, Weinberg and Mack sold their interests and no longer are directors of City and Suburban Federal Savings Bank and/or its affiliates. The Company recognized $190,000, $404,000 and $396,000 in revenue under the leases for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and had no accounts receivable from the company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

        The Company provides administrative support and related services to John J. Cali, who served as the Chairman Emeritus and a Board member of the Company, for which it was reimbursed $153,000, $192,000 and $184,000 from Mr. Cali for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. On June 27, 2005, an affiliate of Mr. Cali entered into a three-year lease for 1,825 square feet of space at one of the Company's office properties, which is scheduled to expire at the end of 2011. On September 18, 2006, an affiliate of Mr. Cali entered into another lease agreement for 806 additional square feet, in the same building, commencing on December 29, 2006, which is scheduled to expire at the end of 2011. The Company recognized approximately $67,000, $68,000 and $47,000 in total revenue under the leases for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and had no accounts receivable from the affiliate as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

18. IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Fair Value Measurements—SFAS 157 & The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—SFAS 159, and FASB Staff Position No. 157-2

        Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157) and SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS 159). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The impact of adopting both SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 was immaterial to the Company.

        In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, which deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 for one-year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. SFAS 157 is now effective for those assets and liabilities for years beginning after November 15, 2008.

18. IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)

FASB Statement No. 141(R)—(revised 2007), ("FASB No. 141(R)"), Business Combinations

        In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB No. 141(R) which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer shall recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and goodwill acquired in a business combination. This statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

FASB Statement No. 160 ("FASB No. 160"), Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an Amendment of ARB No. 51

        In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 160, which establishes and expands accounting and reporting standards for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests, in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FASB 160 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of FASB No. 160 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets

        The FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of the FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The FSP shall be effective be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible assets if this FSP shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this FSP will have a material effect on the financial position and results of operations.

FASB Staff Position No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active

        In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active ("FSP 157-3"). FSP 157-3 clarified the application of SFAS 157 in cases where a market is not active. FSB 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The Company has considered the guidance provided by FSP 157-3 in its determination of estimated fair values as of December 31, 2008, and the impact was not material.

18. IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)

FASB Statement No. 161 ("FASB No. 161"), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133

        In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB No. 161. FASB No. 161 requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. FASB No. 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS 133 have been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on the disclosures contained in its financial statements.
