MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

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 March 31, 2014, the Company owned or had interests in 279 properties, consisting of 267 commercial properties, primarily class A office and office/flex properties, totaling approximately 31.0 million square feet, leased to approximately 2,000 commercial tenants, and 12 multi-family rental properties containing over 3,600 residential units, plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”).  The Properties are comprised of 252 buildings, primarily office and office/flex buildings totaling approximately 30.5 million square feet (which include 22 buildings, primarily office buildings aggregating approximately 2.9 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, 12 multi-family properties totaling 3,678 apartments (which include seven properties aggregating 2,597 apartments owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), five parking/retail properties totaling approximately 121,500 square feet (which include two buildings aggregating 81,500 square feet  owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), one hotel (which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest) and three parcels of land leased to others.  The Properties are located in seven 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, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, 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 VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE 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.  The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s investments in consolidated real estate joint ventures in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary have total real estate assets of $223.1 million and $219.9 million, respectively, mortgages of $84.4 million and $81.9 million, respectively, and other liabilities of $14 million and $18.3 million, respectively.

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.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation.

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.  Acquisition–related costs are expensed as incurred.  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.  Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $0.9 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Included in total rental property is construction, tenant improvement and development in-progress of $49.2 million and $40.8 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 substantial 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, primarily based on a percentage of the relative square footage of each portion, 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 assumed, 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 fair values.  The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed exceed the purchase consideration of a transaction.  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 initially 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 terms 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.

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 rental properties held for use may be impaired.  In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment.  The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near-term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property.  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.  These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions.  The assumptions 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, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

Rental Property
 
Held for Sale
 
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 estimated 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.
 
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
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.  The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.  The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee.    If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.
 
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 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, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.  See Note 4: 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.
 
 
Deferred
Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $769,000 and $773,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. If a financing obligation is extinguished early, any unamortized deferred financing costs are written off and included in gains (loss) from early extinguishment of debt.
 
 
Deferred
Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with commercial 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 related to commercial leases, which is capitalized and amortized, approximated $1,031,000 and $1,173,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
 
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, as applicable.  Each of the Company’s segments consists of a reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized.  Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter and between annual tests, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be fully recoverable.  In its impairment tests of goodwill, management first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If based on this assessment, management determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount, then performing the additional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.

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 cumulative 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 initially 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 for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms 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 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, development and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients.  Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.

Parking income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants and others.

Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations. 
 
 
 
 
 
12

 
 
 
 
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 collectability 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 (determined by excluding any net capital gains) to its shareholders.  If and to the extent the Company retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the Company will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.  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.   The Company has conducted business through its TRS entities for certain property management, development, construction and other related services, as well as to hold a joint venture interest in a hotel and other matters.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company had a deferred tax asset with a balance of approximately $14.4 million which has been fully reserved for through a valuation allowance.  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.

Pursuant to the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, 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.

In the normal course of business, the Company or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable.  As of March 31, 2014, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the year 2009 forward.
 
 
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 from continuing operations amount.  Shares whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions shall be considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted EPS as follows (i) if all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period (the events have occurred), those shares shall be included as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the grant, if later) or (ii) if all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares included in diluted EPS shall be based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period (for example, the number of shares that would be issuable based on current period earnings or period-end market price) and if the result would be dilutive. Those contingently issuable shares shall be included in the denominator of diluted EPS as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the grant, if later).

Dividends and
 
Distributions
Payable
The dividends and distributions payable at March 31, 2014 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (88,461,183 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (11,518,069 common units) for all such holders of record as of April 3, 2014 with respect to the first quarter 2014.  The first quarter 2014 common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.30 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2014.  The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on April 11, 2014.

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2013 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (87,928,002 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (11,864,775 common units) for all such holders of record as of January 6, 2014 with respect to the fourth quarter 2013.  The fourth quarter 2013 common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.30 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on December 10, 2013.  The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on January 15, 2014.

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 compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.  These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”), TSR-based Performance Shares and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period.  The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $3,387,000 (which includes $3,203,000 related to the departure of executive vice presidents.  See Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies – Departure of Executive Vice Presidents) and $845,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Other
 
Comprehensive
 
Income
Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are recorded in equity, such as unrealized holding gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale.  There was no difference in other comprehensive income to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and no accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Fair Value
 
Hierarchy
The standard Fair Value Measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). The following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

•  
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
•  
Level 2: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities inactive markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and
•  
Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
 
 
 
14

 
 

 
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Discontinued
 
Operations
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to the reporting of discontinued operation and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity.  This guidance defines a discontinued operation as a component or group of components disposed or classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and final result; the guidance states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of a major geographical area of operations, a major line of business, a major equity method investment or other major parts of an entity.  The guidance also provides for additional disclosure requirements in connection with both discontinued operations and other dispositions not qualifying as discontinued operations.  The guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date.  All entities may early adopt the guidance for new disposals (or new classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard effective with the interim period beginning January 1, 2014. Prior to January 1, 2014, properties identified as held for sale and/or disposed of were presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.  See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.


3.    REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

Acquisitions

On April 10, 2014, the Company acquired Andover Place, a 220-unit multi-family rental property located in Andover, Massachusetts, for approximately $37.7 million in cash. The purchase price for the property was financed primarily through borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

Rental Property Held for Sale

On March 11, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 249,409 square foot office property located at 22 Sylvan Way in Parsippany, New Jersey for approximately $96.6 million. The Company identified this property as held for sale at March 31, 2014. The Company early adopted the new discontinued operations standard.  As the sale of this property will not represent a strategic shift, it has not been reflected as part of discontinued operations. The Company completed the sale of the property on April 23, 2014.

Pending Partial Sale and Joint Venture

On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into agreements with affiliates of Keystone Property Group (“Keystone Entities”) to sell 15 of its office properties in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, aggregating approximately 2.3 million square feet, for approximately $230.8 million, comprised of: $201.7 million in cash from a combination of Keystone Entities senior and pari-passu equity and mortgage financing; Company subordinated equity interests in each of the properties being sold with capital accounts aggregating $22.2 million; and pari passu equity interests in three of the properties being sold aggregating $6.9 million. The purchasers of the office properties will be joint ventures to be formed between the Company and the Keystone Entities. The senior and pari-passu equity will receive a 15 percent internal rate of return (“IRR”) after which the subordinated equity will receive a ten percent IRR and then all distributable cash flow will be split equally between the Keystone Entities and the Company.  As part of the transaction, the Company will participate in management, leasing and construction fees for the portfolio, and the Company and the Keystone Entities will jointly provide leasing representation for the properties.

The formation of the joint ventures and the completion of the sale of the properties to the joint ventures are subject to the Keystone Entities’ completion of due diligence by April 30, 2014, which may be extended for a 30-day period, and normal and customary closing conditions.  There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.

4.    INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $179.7 million in its equity method joint ventures.  The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties, or acquired interests in them, to develop or manage primarily office and multi-family rental properties, or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office and multi-family rental properties.  As of March 31, 2014, the unconsolidated joint ventures owned: 21 office and two retail properties aggregating approximately 2.6 million square feet, seven multi-family properties totaling 2,597 apartments, a 350-room hotel, a senior mezzanine loan position in the capital stack of a 1.7 million square foot commercial property; development projects for up to approximately 2,976 apartments; and interests and/or rights to developable land parcels able to accommodate up to 3,708 apartments and 1.2 million square feet of office space.  The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 7.5 percent to 80 percent subject to specified priority allocations in certain of the joint ventures.

On October 23, 2012, the Company acquired the real estate development and management businesses (the “Roseland Business”) of Roseland Partners, L.L.C. (“Roseland Partners”), a premier multi-family rental community developer and manager based in Short Hills, New Jersey, and the Roseland Partners’ interests (the “Roseland Transaction”), principally through unconsolidated joint venture interests in various entities which, directly or indirectly, own or have rights with respect to various residential and/or commercial properties or vacant land (collectively, the “Roseland Assets”).  The locations of the properties extend from New Jersey to Massachusetts, with the majority of the properties located in New Jersey.  Certain of the entities which own the Roseland Assets are controlled by the Company upon acquisition and are therefore consolidated. However, many of the entities are not controlled by the Company and, therefore, are accounted for under the equity method as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity in earnings) are based on the historical financial information of the individual joint ventures.  The Company does not record losses of the joint ventures in excess of its investment balances unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the joint venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the joint venture.  The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Unless otherwise noted below, the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally is 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 had $504,000 and $523,000 in accounts receivable due from its unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Included in the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2014 are six unconsolidated development joint ventures, which are VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These joint ventures are primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional financial support.  The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period.  The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs based on the fact that the Company has shared control of these entities along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have controlling financial interests in these VIEs.  The Company’s aggregate investment in these VIEs was approximately $9.4 million as of March 31, 2014.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is estimated to be approximately $18.2 million, which includes the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments of approximately $8.8 million.  The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide. In general, future costs of development not financed through third party will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and its outside partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

In general, the operating agreement of KPG-P provides that net operating cash flows are distributed first, to the members in proportion to their unreturned capital contributions, until each member’s unreturned capital contributions have been reduced to zero; and, thereafter, to the members, in accordance with their percentage interests.  Net cash flows from a capital event are distributed first, to the members in proportion to the members’ unreturned capital contributions, until each member’s unreturned capital contributions have been reduced to zero; second, to the members in proportion to the members’ unreturned deferred capital contributions, until each member’s deferred unreturned capital contributions have been reduced to zero; and, thereafter, to the members in accordance with their percentage interests.
 
 
KPG-IMW obtained a mortgage loan collateralized by 100 IMW Property, which has a balance of $61.5 million as of March 31, 2014, bears interest at LIBOR plus 700 basis points and matures in September 2016.  The loan has two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions, and includes a $25 million construction reserve.

Capitol Place Mezz LLC
On December 23, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with FB Capitol Place LLC (“FB”) to form Capitol Place Mezz LLC (“Capitol”).  The Company acquired a 50 percent ownership interest in an entity that owns a 377-unit multi-family development project that includes approximately 25,000 square feet of retail space and a 309-space underground parking garage, which are currently under construction, located at 701 2nd Street, NE in Washington, D.C. (the “WDC Project”) for approximately $46.5 million. It is expected that the WDC Project will be completed by mid-2015, with leasing beginning in the first quarter 2015.  The venture expects to incur approximately $120.7 million in total estimated costs to complete the WDC Project, of which $46.8 million has been incurred through March 31, 2014.  The Company is not required to fund any additional costs (with some limitation) for the completion of the WDC Project beyond its $46.5 million initial contribution.

In general, the operating agreement of Capitol provides that net cash flows from a capital event are distributed first, to each holder of a member loan, as defined, until all member loans have been paid in full; second, to FB until FB has received the aggregate amount of $2,500,000; and third, to the members in accordance with their percentage interests.  The operating agreement also includes specific provisions, including a right of first offer on all development deals in the D.C. metro area that involve either party, with specific qualifications on any properties in Arlington County, Virginia.
 
 
The WDC Project has a 20-year construction loan of $100.7 million with a balance of $36 million as of March 31, 2014.  The loan bears interest at 4.82 percent and matures in July 2033.  The loan is amortizable over a 30-year period starting in August 2017.

The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things 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 (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness (60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization).  If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS AND DEFERRED RETIREMENT COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS

Employees of the Company, 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 one percent up to 60 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 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.  The 401(k) Plan was recently amended to provide for employees of the Roseland Business to receive matching contributions.  Total expense recognized by the Company for the 401(k) Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $25,000 and $38,000, respectively.

On September 12, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved multi-year deferred retirement compensation agreements for those executive officers in place on such date (the “Deferred Retirement Compensation Agreements”).  Pursuant to the Deferred Retirement Compensation Agreements, the Company will make annual contributions of stock units (“Stock Units”) representing shares of the Company’s common stock on January 1 of each year from 2013 through 2017 into a deferred compensation account maintained on behalf of each Messrs. Hersh, Lefkowitz and Thomas.  The annual contribution for Messrs. Hersh, Lefkowitz and Thomas shall be in an amount of Stock Units equal to $500,000, $160,000 and $100,000, respectively.  The Company granted 35,957 Stock Units, including 575 additional Stock Units on accrued dividends, in the three months ended March 31, 2014.  Vesting of each annual contribution of Stock Units will occur on December 31 of each year, subject to continued employment. Upon the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock, Messrs. Hersh, Lefkowitz and Thomas shall be entitled to dividend equivalent payments in respect of both vested and unvested Stock Units payable in the form of additional Stock Units.  The Stock Units shall become payable within 30 days after the earliest of any of the following triggering events: (a) the executive’s death or disability; (b) the date of the executive’s separation from service to the Company; and (c) the effective date of a change in control, in each case as such terms are defined in the employment agreements of Messrs. Hersh, Lefkowitz and Thomas.  Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the Stock Units shall be paid in cash based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of such triggering event.  In connection with Messrs. Lefkowitz and Thomas’ separation from service to the Company effective March 31, 2014, the Company agreed to make cash payments totaling $1.2 million for all vested and unvested Stock Units and future cash contributions pursuant to their respective Deferred Retirement Compensation Agreements (see Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies – Departure of Executive Vice Presidents).  Total expense recognized by the Company under the Deferred Retirement Compensation Agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1.2 million and $188,000, 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, consisting of senior unsecured notes, an unsecured revolving credit facility and mortgages, loans payable and other obligations aggregated approximately $2,288,708,000 and $2,407,802,000 as compared to the book value of approximately $2,232,287,000 and $2,362,766,000 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is categorized as a level 3 basis (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  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 March 31, 2014 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

 
13.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS

The Harborside Plaza 5 agreement, also with the City of Jersey City, as amended, which commenced in 2002, is for a term of 20 years.  The annual PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs, as defined.  Total Project Costs are $170.9 million.  The PILOT totaled $854,000 and $854,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company also has an agreement with the City of Weehawken for its Port Imperial 4/5 garage development project (acquired in the Roseland Transaction).  The agreement was executed in March 2011 and has a term of five years beginning when the project is substantially complete, which occurred in the third quarter 2013.  The agreement provides that real estate taxes be paid initially on the land value of the project only and allows for a phase in of real estate taxes on the value of the improvements over a five year period.

The Company also has an agreement with the City of Rahway for its Park Square multi-family rental property.  The agreement executed in 2009 provides that real estate taxes will be partially abated, on a declining scale, for four years from 2011 through 2015.

At the conclusion of the above-referenced 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.

ROSELAND CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
The purchase price for the Roseland Transaction included the fair value of contingent consideration pursuant to an earn-out (“Earn Out”) agreement of approximately $10 million.  The Earn Out largely represents contingent consideration and requires the Company to pay Roseland Partners up to an aggregate maximum of $15.6 million.  The Earn Out is based on defined criteria, as follows: (i) the Roseland Assets component of up to $8.6 million for the completion of certain developments ($2.8 million), and the start of construction on others ($2.8 million), obtaining tax credits/grants on others ($3.0 million), all of which are payable over various periods of up to three years; and (ii) total return to shareholders for up to an additional $7 million, based on a total return to shareholders measured on a three year cumulative basis and on discrete years, both on an absolute basis and in comparison to a peer group.  Each of the Earn Out elements were separately valued as of the acquisition date with an aggregate fair value of contingent consideration of approximately $10 million (representing $6.3 million for the Roseland Assets and $3.7 million for the total return to shareholders component).  Prospectively, the Earn Out liability will be remeasured at fair value quarterly until the contingency has been resolved, with any changes in fair value representing a charge or benefit directly to earnings (with no adjustment to purchase accounting).  The measures of the Earn Out are based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which ASC 820 refers to as Level 3 inputs.  In addition to an appropriate discount rate, the key assumption affecting the valuation for the Roseland Assets component was the probability of occurrence of the payment events under the relevant provisions (management assumed between 92 and 99 percent for completion/start criteria and 50 percent for the tax credit/grant criteria in its initial valuation).  The valuation of the TRS component includes assumptions for the risk-free rate and various other factors (i.e., stock price, dividend levels and volatility) for the Company and the relevant peer group, as defined in the Earn Out agreement.  As a result of the achievement of certain of the defined criteria, the Company paid Roseland Partners $2.8 million on January 25, 2013 and $1.4 million on March 21, 2014 related to the Roseland Assets component of the Earn Out.  The Company previously recorded the $2.8 million payment of contingent consideration described above in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 as a cash out flow from investing activity.   Management subsequently concluded that the payment should be appropriately classified as a cash out flow from financing activity and had reflected it as such in the annual financial statements for 2013.  The cash flow statement for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 presented herein has been revised to reflect this change in classification.  The Company has determined that the impact to the 2013 quarterly financial statements is not material.  The cash flow statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 will be revised in future filings.

The purchase consideration for the Roseland Transaction is subject to the return of a portion of the purchase price of up to $2.0 million upon the failure to achieve a certain level of fee revenue from the Roseland Business during the 33-month period following the closing date.  Because the fee target was highly probable, no discount was ascribed to this contingently returnable consideration.  Also, at the closing, approximately $34 million in cash of the purchase price was deposited in escrow to secure certain of the indemnification obligations of Roseland Partners and its affiliates.  In April 2013, $6.7 million of the escrow was released to Roseland Partners.

DEPARTURE OF EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS
On March 3, 2014, the Company announced that Barry Lefkowitz was leaving his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective March 31, 2014.  In connection with Mr. Lefkowitz’s departure, he will receive severance benefits payable pursuant to his employment agreement and outstanding equity compensation awards, including an aggregate cash payment of approximately $3.4 million, vesting of 11,457 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company, and vesting of 68,667 unvested shares of Restricted Stock Awards. The Company also will pay the premiums for the continuation of Mr. Lefkowitz’s existing health insurance for a period up to 48 months following March 31, 2014.
 
Also on March 3, 2014, the Company announced that Roger W. Thomas was leaving his position as Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company effective March 31, 2014.  In connection with Mr. Thomas’ departure, he will receive severance benefits payable pursuant to his employment agreement and outstanding equity compensation awards, including an aggregate cash payment of approximately $3.1 million, acceleration and discretionary full vesting of 33,605 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company, and vesting of 41,000 unvested shares of Restricted Stock Awards. The Company also will pay the premiums for the continuation of Mr. Thomas’ existing health insurance for a period of up to 48 months following September 30, 2014. Mr. Thomas will serve as a consultant to the Company from April 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014 for an aggregate cash compensation of $300,000.

The Company’s total estimated costs for the departure of the two executive vice presidents of approximately $11 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was included in general and administration expense for the period and reflected in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities as of March 31, 2014.

OTHER
The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprised of seven properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $123.1 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, a former director and current member of its Advisory Board), and the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, a former director and current member of its Advisory Board).  121 of the Company’s properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.5 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.

In December 2011, the Company entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ironstate Development LLC (“Ironstate”) for the development of multi-family rental towers with associated parking and ancillary retail space on land owned by the Company at its Harborside complex in Jersey City, New Jersey (the “URL Harborside Project”).  The first phase of the project is expected to consist of a parking pedestal to support a high-rise tower of approximately 763 apartment units and is estimated to cost approximately $320 million, of which development costs of $10.2 million have been incurred through March 31, 2014.  The parties anticipate the first phase will be ready for occupancy by approximately the third quarter of 2016.   In October 2013, the first phase of the project was awarded up to $33 million in future tax credits (“URL Tax Credits”), subject to certain conditions, from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.

Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company and Ironstate shall co-develop the URL Harborside Project with Ironstate responsible for obtaining all required development permits and approvals.  Major decisions with respect to the URL Harborside Project will require the consent of the Company and Ironstate.  The Company and Ironstate will have 85 and 15 percent interests, respectively, in the URL Harborside Project.  The Company will receive capital credit of $30 per approved developable square foot for its land aggregating to approximately $20.6 million at March 31, 2014.  In addition to the capital credit it will receive for its land contribution, the Company currently expects that it will fund approximately $88 million of the development costs of the project (which is expected to be reduced due to the effects of sales proceeds from the anticipated sale of the URL Tax Credits).

The Development Agreement is subject to obtaining required approvals and development financing as well as numerous customary undertakings, covenants, obligations and conditions.  The Company has the right to reasonably determine that any phase of the URL Harborside Project is not economically viable and may elect not to proceed, subject to certain conditions, with no further obligations to Ironstate other than reimbursement to Ironstate of all or a portion of the costs incurred by it to obtain any required approvals.

In July 2012, the Company entered into a ground lease with Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. (“Wegmans”) at the Company’s undeveloped site located at Sylvan Way and Ridgedale Avenue in Hanover Township, New Jersey. Subject to receiving all necessary governmental approvals, Wegmans intends to construct a store of approximately 140,000 square feet on a finished pad to be delivered by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2014.  The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $15.7 million for the development of the site through the third quarter of 2015 (of which the Company has incurred $5.0 million through March 31, 2014).

 
14.  TENANT LEASES

The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2033.  Substantially all of the commercial leases provide for annual base rents plus recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of and/or increases in real estate taxes and certain operating costs, as defined, and the pass-through of charges for electrical usage.

Future minimum rentals to be received under non-cancelable commercial operating leases at March 31, 2014 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

15.  MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION 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 Charter provides, 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.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In September 2012, the Board of Directors renewed and authorized an increase to the Company’s repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”).  The Company has authorization to repurchase up to $150 million of its outstanding common stock under the renewed Repurchase Program, which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.  The Company has purchased and retired 394,625 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $11 million through March 31, 2014 (none of which occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013) , with a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139 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 approximately 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 SEC for the approximately 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

STOCK OPTION PLANS
In May 2013, the Company established the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”) under which a total of 4,600,000 shares have been reserved for issuance.  In May 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”) under which a total of 2,500,000 shares had been reserved for issuance.  The 2004 Plan was terminated upon establishment of the 2013 Plan.  No options were granted under the 2004 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” and together with the 2000 Employee Plan, the “2000 Plans”).  In May 2002, shareholders of the Company approved amendments to both of the 2000 Plans to 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).  As the 2000 Plans expired in 2010, stock options may no longer be issued under those plans.  Stock options granted under the 2000 Employee Plan became exercisable over a five-year period.  All stock options granted under the 2000 Director Plan became 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the stock options outstanding, which were all exercisable, had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 3.8 and 0.7 years, respectively.

No cash was received from options exercised under all stock option plans for the three months ended March 31,2014 and 2013, respectively.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was zero.  The Company has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.

The Company recognized stock options expense of $1,000 and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
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 414,483 unvested shares were legally outstanding at March 31, 2014.  Of the Restricted Stock Awards issued to executive officers and senior management, 210,000 are contingent upon the Company meeting certain performance goals to be set by the Executive Compensation and Option Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company each year (“Performance Shares”), with the remaining based on time and service. These Performance Shares are not considered granted until the performance goals are set.  All currently outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers and certain other employees were issued under the 2013 Plan and 2004 Plan.  Currently outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to directors were issued under the 2013 Plan and 2004 Plan.

On September 12, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the recommendations and ratified the determinations of the Executive Compensation and Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) with respect to new Restricted Stock Awards totaling 319,667 shares for those executive officers in place on such date.  The new Restricted Stock Awards may vest commencing January 1, 2014 and with the number of Restricted Stock Awards scheduled to be vested and earned on each vesting date on an annual basis over a five to seven year vesting schedule, with each annual vesting of each tranche of Restricted Stock Awards being subject to the attainment of annual performance targets to be set by the Committee for each year.  As the Committee determined that the performance targets for the year ended December 31, 2013 were not satisfied, 63,933 shares due to vest on January 1, 2014 did not vest. Such shares may vest on any subsequent vesting date provided that the performance targets for the subsequent calendar year are met. Amounts recorded as compensation expense pertaining to these shares during the year ended December 31, 2013 were reversed.  In connection with the departure of two executive officers effective March 31, 2014, the Company agreed to grant and accelerate vesting of 109,667 shares of Restricted Stock Awards on April 1, 2014.

TSR-BASED AWARDS
Also on September 12, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the recommendations and ratified the determinations of the Committee with respect to new multi-year total stockholder return (“TSR”) based awards (the “TSR-Based Awards”) totaling 5,160 performance shares (the “Performance Shares”) for those executive officers in place on such date, each Performance Share evidencing the right to receive $1,000 in the Company’s common stock upon vesting.  In accordance with the amended and restated TSR-Based Awards agreements entered into between the Company and those executive officers in June 2013, the Performance Shares may vest commencing December 31, 2014, with the number of Performance Shares scheduled to be granted annually over the next four years.  The vesting of each tranche of Performance Shares is subject to the attainment at each performance period end of a minimum stock price and either an absolute TSR target or a relative TSR target (the “TSR Performance Targets”) in comparison to a selection of Peer Group REITs, in each case as shall be fixed by the Committee for each performance period.  TSR, for purposes of the TSR-Based Performance Agreements, shall be equal to the share appreciation in the relevant period.  The Company granted 1,032 Performance Shares in the year ended December 31, 2013, which were valued in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, at their fair value, utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the vesting conditions being satisfied.  The Company has reserved shares of common stock under the 2004 Plan for issuance upon vesting of the Performance Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the TSR-Based Awards.  In connection with the departure of two executive vice presidents effective March 31, 2014, the Company agreed to vest 357 Performance Shares and to grant and accelerate the vesting of 528 Performance Shares, for which the Company issued 45,062 shares of Common Stock on April 2, 2014.  See Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies – Departure of Executive Vice Presidents.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $3.4 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 1.4 years.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS
The Amended and Restated 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 three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 5,707 and 5,154 deferred stock units were earned, respectively.  As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 142,500 and 136,440 deferred 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.

Contingently issuable shares under the TSR Award plan were excluded from the denominator in 2014 and 2013 because they were anti-dilutive for the period ended March 31, 2014 and because the criteria had not been met for the period ended March 31, 2013.  Not included in the computations of diluted EPS were 15,000 and 15,000 stock options as such securities were anti-dilutive during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Also not included in the computations of diluted EPS were 414,483 shares of unvested restricted stock as such securities were anti-dilutive during the three months ended March 31, 2014.  Unvested restricted stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 414,483 and 352,358 shares, respectively.

Dividends declared per common share for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.30 per share.

 
16.   NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN SUBSIDIARIES

Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to (i) common units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the Company, and (ii) interests in consolidated joint ventures for the portion of such ventures not owned by the Company.

OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

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 unitholders have the right to redeem their common units, subject to certain restrictions.  The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows:  one share of the Company’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each common unit.  The Company, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of common units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock, cash, or any combination thereof).  If the Company elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock as opposed to cash, it is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder.  Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the Company or the Operating Partnership under any circumstances.  When a unitholder redeems a common unit, noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced and Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ equity is increased.

Unit Transactions
The following table sets forth the changes in noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries which relate to the common units in the Operating Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2014:

   
 
Common
 
Units
Balance at January 1, 2014
 11,864,775
Redemption of common units for shares of common stock
(346,706)
   
Balance at March 31, 2014
 11,518,069

Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation, on the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary, changes in a parent’s ownership interest (and transactions with noncontrolling interest unitholders in the subsidiary) while the parent retains its controlling interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for as equity transactions.  The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary, with the offset to equity attributable to the parent.  Accordingly, as a result of equity transactions which caused changes in ownership percentages between Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company has decreased noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and increased additional paid-in capital in Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity by approximately $21,000 as of March 31, 2014.


 
46

 

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST OWNERSHIP
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the noncontrolling interest common unitholders owned 11.5 percent and 11.9 percent of the Operating Partnership, respectively.

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

PARTICIPATION RIGHTS
The Company’s interests in certain real estate projects (three properties and a future development) each provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter, other parties have participation rights (“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 IRR of 10 percent per annum.

 
17.   SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates in three business segments: (i) commercial and other real estate, (ii) multi-family real estate, and (iii) multi-family services.  The Company provides leasing, property management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its commercial and other real estate and multi-family real estate portfolio.  The Company’s multi-family services business also provides similar services for third parties.  The Company no longer considers construction services as a reportable segment as it has significantly reduced its operations.  The Company had no revenues from foreign countries recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.  The Company had no long lived assets in foreign locations as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies, excluding depreciation and amortization.

The Company evaluates performance based upon net operating income from the combined properties in each of its real estate segments (commercial and other, and multi-family) and from its multi-family services segment.

ITEM 2.
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 60 years and has been a publicly-traded REIT since 1994.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company owns or has interests in 279 properties (collectively, the “Properties”), consisting of 267 commercial properties, primarily class A office and office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 31.0 million square feet, leased to approximately 2,000 commercial tenants and 12 multi-family rental properties containing over 3,600 residential units.  The Properties are located primarily in suburban markets of the Northeast, some with adjacent, Company-controlled developable land sites able to accommodate up to 8.4 million square feet of additional commercial space and up to 5,824 apartment units. 

The Company’s historical 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.  With changing work force demographics and reduced demand for suburban office properties in its current markets, the Company intends to continue to leverage its experience and expertise in its core Northeast markets to aggressively pursue multi-family rental investments in those markets, both through acquisitions and developments, both wholly owned and through joint ventures.  This strategy includes selectively disposing of office and office/flex assets and re-deploying proceeds to multi-family rental properties, as well as the repositioning of a portion of its office properties and land held for development to multi-family rental properties.
 
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;
· 
the value of our office properties and the cash flow from the sale of such properties;
· 
operating expenses;
· 
anticipated acquisition and development costs for multi-family rental properties and the revenues and earnings from these properties;
· 
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 the Company’s product types or competition within the market. 
 
The Company’s core office markets continue to be weak.  The percentage leased in the Company’s consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating commercial properties aggregating 28 million, 28 million and 31 million square feet at March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively was 83.6 percent leased at March 31, 2014 as compared to 86.1 percent leased at December 31, 2013 and 86.0 percent leased at March 31, 2013.  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 March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013 aggregate 119,109, 690,895 and 248,627 square feet, respectively, or 0.4, 2.5 and 0.8 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively.  Rental rates (including escalations) on the Company’s commercial space that was renewed (based on first rents payable) during the three months ended March 31, 2014 (on 363,948 square feet of renewals) decreased an average of 3.9 percent compared to rates that were in effect under the prior leases, as compared to a 5.8 percent decrease during the three months end March 31, 2013 (on 681,468 square feet of renewals).  Estimated lease costs for the renewed leases during the three months ended March 31, 2014 averaged $2.75 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 3.3 years and estimated lease costs for the renewed leases during the three months ended March 31, 2013 averaged $2.17 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 4.3 years.  The Company believes that commercial vacancy rates may continue to increase and commercial rental rates may continue to decline in some of its markets in 2014 and possibly beyond.  For example, a significant tenant aggregating 474,801 square feet and approximately $8.6 million in annualized base rent, whose lease expires over the next 12 months is not renewing its lease.  As of March 31, 2014, commercial leases which comprise approximately 5.6 percent of the Company’s annualized base rent are scheduled to expire during the year ended December 31, 2014.  With the decline of rental rates in the Company’s office markets over the past few years, as leases expire in 2014, assuming no further changes in current market rental rates, the Company expects that the rental rates it is likely to achieve on new leases will generally be lower than the rates currently being paid, thereby resulting in less revenue from the same space.  As a result of the above factors, the Company’s future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions affecting its commercial portfolio. 
 
 
 
50

 
 

 
The Company expects that the impact of the current state of the economy, including high unemployment will continue to have a negative effect on the fundamentals of its business, including lower occupancy, reduced effective rents, and increases in defaults and past due accounts in respect of the Company’s commercial properties.  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.   

As a result of the continued weakness in the Company's core office markets, the Company intends to expand its holdings in the multi-family rental sector, which it believes has traditionally been a more stable product type.  The Company believes that the opportunity to invest in multi-family development properties at higher returns on cost will position the Company to potentially produce higher levels of net operating income than if the Company were to only purchase stabilized multi-family rental properties at market returns.  The Company anticipates that it will be several years before many of its multi-family development projects are income-producing.  The long-term nature of the Company’s multi-family strategy coupled with the continued weakness in the Company’s core office markets and the disposition of income producing non-core office properties, to fund the Company’s multi-family rental acquisitions and development will likely result in declining net operating income and cash flows relative to historical returns. As the Company continues to execute its multi-family residential strategy, the Company believes that over the long-term its net operating income and cash flows will stabilize at levels less than historical or current returns.

Extended winter freeze conditions in the first quarter 2014 resulted in record electricity demand, as well as reduced natural gas production and distributions disruptions in the Company’s northeast markets.  This in turn resulted in significant increases in the utility costs at most of the Company’s properties (including both gas and electricity prices – the latter now being heavily dependent on gas fired power plants).  The pricing situation has since stabilized and is not expected to occur for the remainder of the year but could recur in future winters.  The Company expects to recover a portion of these additional costs pursuant to the terms of most of its leases with tenants.

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

· 
critical accounting policies and estimates;
· 
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 and
· 
liquidity and capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, 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 VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE 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.  The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

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.  Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.  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 three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $3.1 million and $3.5 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 substantial 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, primarily based on a percentage of the relative square footage of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.


 
52

 

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 assumed, 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 fair values. The Company records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed exceed the purchase consideration of a transaction. 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 initially 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 terms 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.

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 rental properties held for use may be impaired.  In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment.  The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near-term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property.  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.  These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions.  The assumptions 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, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.
 
 
 
53

 
 

 
Rental Property Held for Sale:
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 estimated 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.

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:
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.  The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.  The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee.    If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.

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 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, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.  See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, as applicable.  Each of the Company’s segments consists of a reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized.  Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter and between annual tests, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be fully recoverable.  In its impairment tests of goodwill, management first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If based on this assessment, management determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount, then performing the additional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.

Revenue Recognition:
Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.  Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative 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 initially 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 for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms 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, development and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients.  Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.

Parking income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants and others.

Other income includes 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 collectability 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.

Discontinued Operations
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance related to the reporting of discontinued operation and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity.  This guidance defines a discontinued operation as a component or group of components disposed or classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and final result; the guidance states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of a major geographical area of operations, a major line of business, a major equity method investment or other major parts of an entity.  The guidance also provides for additional disclosure requirements in connection with both discontinued operations and other dispositions not qualifying as discontinued operations.  The guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date.  All entities may early adopt the guidance for new disposals (or new classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard effective with the interim period beginning January 1, 2014. Prior to January 1, 2014, properties identified as held for sale and/or disposed of were presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties decreased $4.7 million, or 3.5 percent, for 2014 as compared to 2013, due primarily to a decrease in occupancy and rental rates in 2014 as compared to 2013.  Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties increased $5.7 million, or 29.4 percent, for 2014 over 2013, due primarily to recoveries from tenants of higher electric expenses in 2014 which the Company expects to partially recover from its tenants pursuant to the terms of most of its leases.  Parking income for the Same-Store Properties was relatively unchanged for 2014 as compared to 2013.  Other income for the Same-Store Properties decreased $1.0 million, or 55.7 percent, due primarily to a decrease in lease breakage fees recognized in 2014 as compared to 2013.

Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $1.9 million, or 8.7 percent, for 2014 as compared to 2013. The change in real estate taxes principally results from a decrease in tax appeal proceeds received in 2014 as compared to 2013.  Real estate taxes, without the effect of net tax appeal proceeds, did not increase significantly in 2014 compared to 2013.  Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $11.6 million, or 71.1 percent, for 2014 as compared to 2013, due primarily to sharply increased electricity rates in 2014 as compared to 2013.  As more fully discussed in the “Executive Overview,” extended winter freeze conditions in early 2014 caused record electricity demand, and combined with reduced natural gas production and distribution disruptions, resulted in significant market price increases for electricity during the period. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $2.9 million, or 11.6 percent, due primarily to an increase in snow removal costs of $1.5 million and in maintenance costs of $1.0 million for 2014 as compared to 2013.

Construction services revenue decreased $8.2 million, or 100.0 percent, in 2014 as compared to 2013, due to the Company no longer operating in this business segment.  Real estate services revenues (primarily reimbursement of property personnel costs) increased by $0.2 million, or 3.9 percent, for 2014 as compared to 2013, due primarily to an increase in salary reimbursement income for 2014 as compared to 2013.

Direct construction costs decreased $7.8 million, or 100.0 percent, in 2014 as compared to 2013, due to the Company no longer operating in this business segment.

Real estate services expenses increased $1.8 million, or 35.5 percent, for 2014 as compared to 2013.  This increase was due primarily to increased compensation and related costs.
 
 
 
57

 
 

 
General and administrative expenses increased $10.9 million in 2014 as compared to 2013.  This increase was primarily due to approximately $11 million of severance costs related to the departure of two of the Company’s executive vice presidents in 2014.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.6 million, or 3.8 percent, for 2014 over 2013.  This increase was due primarily to an increase of $2.5 million for 2014 as compared to 2013 related to depreciation and amortization on assets from the Roseland Transaction and the Acquired Properties, partially offset by assets becoming fully amortized in 2014.

Interest expense was relatively unchanged for 2014 as compared to 2013.

Interest and other investment income increased $0.4 million for 2014 as compared to 2013.  This was primarily due to higher available cash balances to invest in 2014.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $0.5 million, or 29.4 percent, for 2014 as compared to 2013.  The increase was due primarily to increased income of $0.9 million from the South Pier at Harborside venture and a loss of $0.6 million in 2013 from the PruRose Port Imperial South 15 venture.  These were partially offset by a loss of $0.7 million from the KPG-P 100 IMW venture, which was entered into in late 2013.

Income from continuing operations decreased to a loss of $17.6 million in 2014 from income of $8.0 million in 2013.  The decrease of $25.6 million was due to the factors discussed above.

Net income available to common shareholders decreased by $26.9 million, or 232.4 percent, from income of $11.6 million in 2013 to a loss of $15.3 million in 2014.  The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in income from continuing operations of $25.6 million for 2014 as compared to 2013, and a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $5.1 million for 2014 as compared to 2013.  These were partially offset by a decrease in noncontrolling interest in Operating Partnership of $3.0 million for 2014 as compared to 2013, a decrease in noncontrolling interest in discontinued operations of $0.6 million for 2014 as compared to 2013, and an increase in noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint ventures of approximately $0.2 million for 2014 as compared to 2013.

 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Liquidity

Overview:
Historically, rental revenue has been the Company’s 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, other debt and equity financings, proceeds from the sale of properties and joint venture capital.

The Company believes that with the general downturn in the Company’s core Northeast markets in recent years, it is reasonably likely that vacancy rates in the office sector may continue to increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases at office properties may continue to decrease and tenant installation costs at office properties, including concessions, may continue to increase in most or all of its markets in 2014 and possibly beyond.  As a result of the potential negative effects on the Company’s revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space and the redeployment of capital from the sale of income-producing office properties to fund the Company’s expansion into the multi-family rental sector, 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, which may include proceeds from the sales of office properties, 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, to the extent available, proceeds from property sales, joint venture capital, 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.

Repositioning of the Company’s Portfolio:
The Company continually reviews its portfolio and opportunities to divest office properties that no longer meet its long-term strategy, have reached their potential, are less efficient to operate, or when market conditions are favorable to be sold at attractive prices.  The Company anticipates redeploying the proceeds from sales of office and office/flex properties in the near-term to develop, redevelop and acquire multi-family rental properties as well as reposition certain office properties into multi-family/mixed use properties, in its core Northeast sub-markets as part of its overall strategy to reposition its portfolio from office and office/flex to a mix of office, office/flex and multi-family rental properties.  The Company believes this strategy will provide additional working capital for its expansion into the multi-family rental sector.  In continuation of this strategy, the Company entered into the following transactions:

Property Sales
On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into agreements with affiliates of Keystone Property Group (“Keystone Entities”) to sell 15 of its office properties in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, aggregating approximately 2.3 million square feet, for approximately $230.8 million, comprised of: $201.7 million in cash from a combination of Keystone Entities senior and pari-passu equity and mortgage financing; Company subordinated equity interests in each of the properties being sold with capital accounts aggregating $22.2 million; and pari passu equity interests in three of the properties being sold aggregating $6.9 million. The purchasers of the office properties will be joint ventures to be formed between the Company and the Keystone Entities. The senior and pari-passu equity will receive a 15 percent internal rate of return (“IRR”) after which the subordinated equity will receive a ten percent IRR and then all distributable cash flow will be split equally between the Keystone Entities and the Company.  As part of the transaction, the Company will participate in management, leasing and construction fees for the portfolio, and the Company and the Keystone Entities will jointly provide leasing representation for the properties.

The formation of the joint ventures and the completion of the sale of the properties to the joint ventures are subject to the Keystone Entities’ completion of due diligence by April 30, 2014, which may be extended for a 30-day period, and normal and customary closing conditions.  There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.

On March 11, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 249,409 square foot office property located at 22 Sylvan Way in Parsippany, New Jersey for approximately $96.6 million. The Company completed the sale of the property on April 23, 2014. 

Acquisitions
On April 10, 2014, the Company acquired Andover Place, a 220-unit multi-family rental property located in Andover, Massachusetts, for approximately $37.7 million in cash. The purchase price for the property was financed primarily through borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

The Company also recently signed agreements to acquire a mixed-use, commercial property and a multi-family property in separate transactions for a total of $159 million.

Construction Projects:
In December 2011, the Company entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ironstate Development LLC (“Ironstate”) for the development of multi-family rental towers with associated parking and ancillary retail space on land owned by the Company at its Harborside complex in Jersey City, New Jersey (the “URL Harborside Project”).  The first phase of the project is expected to consist of a parking pedestal to support a high-rise tower of approximately 763 apartment units and is estimated to cost approximately $320 million, of which development costs of $10.2 million have been incurred through March 31, 2014.  The parties anticipate the first phase will be ready for occupancy by approximately the third quarter of 2016.  In October 2013, the first phase of the project was awarded up to $33 million in future tax credits (“URL Tax Credits”), subject to certain conditions, from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.  
 
 
 
59

 
 
 
Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company and Ironstate shall co-develop the URL Harborside Project with Ironstate responsible for obtaining all required development permits and approvals.  Major decisions with respect to the URL Harborside Project will require the consent of the Company and Ironstate.  The Company and Ironstate will have 85 and 15 percent interests, respectively, in the URL Harborside Project.  The Company will receive capital credit of $30 per approved developable square foot for its land, aggregating to approximately $20.6 million at March 31, 2014.  In addition to the capital credit it will receive for its land contribution, the Company currently expects that it will fund approximately $88 million of the development costs of the project (which is expected to be reduced by the effects of sales proceeds from the anticipated sale of the URL Tax Credits).
  
The Development Agreement is subject to obtaining required approvals and development financing as well as numerous customary undertakings, covenants, obligations and conditions.  The Company has the right to reasonably determine that any phase of the URL Harborside Project is not economically viable and may elect not to proceed, subject to certain conditions, with no further obligations to Ironstate other than reimbursement to Ironstate of all or a portion of the costs incurred by it to obtain any required approvals. 
 
In July 2012, the Company entered into a ground lease with Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. (“Wegmans”) at the Company’s undeveloped site located at Sylvan Way and Ridgedale Avenue in Hanover Township, New Jersey. Subject to receiving all necessary governmental approvals, Wegmans intends to construct a store of approximately 140,000 square feet on a finished pad to be delivered by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2014.  The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $15.7 million for the development of the site through the third quarter of 2015 (of which the Company has incurred $5.0 million through March 31, 2014). 

On August 22, 2013, the Company contributed an additional $4.9 million and the operating agreement of Eastchester was modified which increased the Company’s effective ownership to 76.25 percent, with the remaining 23.75 percent owned by HVLH.  The agreement also provided the Company with control of all major decisions.  Accordingly, effective August 22, 2013, the Company consolidated Eastchester under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation.  As the carrying value approximated the fair value of the net assets acquired, there was no holding period gain or loss recognized on this transaction.

On October 23, 2012, as part of the Roseland Transaction, the Company had acquired a 26.25 percent interest in a to-be-built, 108-unit multi-family rental property located in Eastchester, New York (the “Eastchester Project”) for approximately $2.1 million.  The remaining interests in the development project-owning entity, 150 Main Street, L.L.C. (“Eastchester”) was owned 26.25 percent by JMP Eastchester, L.L.C. and 47.5 percent by Hudson Valley Land Holdings, L.L.C. (“HVLH”). The Eastchester Project began construction in late 2013.  Estimated total development costs of $50 million are expected to be funded with a $28.8 million construction loan and the balance of $21.2 million to be funded with member capital.

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 common stock dividend rate of $0.30 per common share, in the aggregate, such distributions would equal approximately $106.5 million ($120.3 million, including common units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the Company) on an annualized basis.  However, any such distribution, whether for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, would be paid out of 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.  If and to the extent the Company retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the Company will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.

Property Lock-Ups:
The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprised of seven properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $123.1 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, a former director and current member of its Advisory Board), and the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, a former director and current member of its Advisory Board).  As of March 31, 2014, 121 of the Company’s properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.5 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.

Unencumbered Properties:
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had 220 unencumbered properties with a carrying value of $2.8 billion representing 89.1 percent of the Company’s total consolidated property count.


Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $162.9 million to $58.7 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $221.7 million at December 31, 2013.  This decrease is comprised of the following net cash flow items:

Senior Unsecured Notes:
On February 18, 2014, the Company repaid its $200 million face amount of 5.125 percent senior unsecured notes at their maturity, using available cash and borrowing on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. 

The terms of the Company’s senior unsecured notes (which totaled approximately $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2014) 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:
On July 16, 2013, the Company amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 17 lenders.  The $600 million facility is expandable to $1 billion and matures in July 2017.  It has two six month extension options each requiring the payment of a 7.5 basis point fee.  The interest rate on outstanding borrowings (not electing the Company’s competitive bid feature) and the facility fee on the current borrowing capacity payable quarterly in arrears are based upon the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings, as follows:

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 those above.

The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things 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 (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness (60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization).  If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions 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; Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent; Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch; U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as documentation agents; Capital One, National Association; Citibank N.A.; Comerica Bank; PNC Bank, National Association; SunTrust Bank; The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD.; The Bank of New York Mellon; as managing agents; and Compass Bank; Branch Banking and Trust Company; TD Bank, N.A.; Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania; Mega International Commercial Bank Co., LTD.  New York Branch, as participants.

Through July 15, 2013, the Company had a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which had an interest rate on outstanding borrowings of LIBOR plus 125 basis points and a facility fee of 25 basis points.

As of April 21, 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $95 million under its unsecured revolving credit facility.

Money Market Loan:
The Company entered into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to participate in a noncommitted 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 March 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Money Market Loan program.


Mortgages, Loans Payable and Other Obligations:
On April 10, 2014, the Company obtained a $27.5 million mortgage loan, collateralized by its property located in Rahway, New Jersey.  The loan bears interest of LIBOR plus 1.75 percent and matures in April 2019 with two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions, with a fee of 125 basis points.  The loan is interest-only during the initial three-year term.
 
 
 
63

 
 

 
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.

Debt Strategy:
The Company does not intend to reserve funds to retire the Company’s senior unsecured notes, borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility, 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 April 21, 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $95 million under its unsecured revolving credit facility and no outstanding borrowings under the Money Market Loan.  The Company is reviewing various financing and refinancing options, including the purchase of its senior unsecured notes in privately-negotiated transactions, the issuance of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt, common and preferred stock, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt, some or all of which may be completed in 2014.  The Company currently anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the sale of office properties, 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, or if capital needs to fund acquisition and development opportunities in the multi-family rental sector arise, the Company’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed in “REIT Restrictions” above may be adversely affected.

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 approximately 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 approximately 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt:
The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally provide for recourse to the Company for customary matters such as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations. The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures.  Such debt has a total facility amount of $311.1 million of which the Company has agreed to guarantee up to $89.7 million.  As of March 31, 2014, the outstanding balance of such debt totaled $156.4 million of which $68.9 million was guaranteed by the Company.  The Company has also posted a $4.6 million letter of credit in support of the Harborside South Pier joint venture, half 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 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures to the Financial Statements.

Also on March 3, 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into a Settlement and General Release Agreement with Roger W. Thomas (the “Thomas Separation Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Thomas left his position as Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company effective March 31, 2014 after twenty (20) years with the Company and its predecessor.  The Thomas Separation Agreement provides, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, for (i) vesting of 41,000 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to Mr. Thomas’ multi-year performance award, (ii) acceleration but discretionary full vesting of 33,605 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to Mr. Thomas’ TSR-based performance award, (iii) a cash payment to Mr. Thomas of $2.5 million, (iv) a cash payment of $476,888 pursuant to his deferred retirement compensation award, and (v) a cash payment of $73,800 in accrued but unpaid dividend equivalents pursuant his multi-year performance award. All such cash amounts will be paid to Mr. Thomas on October 1, 2014. The Company also will pay the premiums for the continuation of Mr. Thomas’ existing health insurance for a period up to 48 months following September 30, 2014.  Mr. Thomas will remain as a consultant to the Company from April 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014 for aggregate cash compensation of $300,000. 


Funds from Operations 
 
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined as net income (loss) before noncontrolling interest of unitholders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items, sales of depreciable rental property, and impairments related to depreciable rental property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization.  The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT.  The Company further believes that as FFO excludes the effect of depreciation, gains (or losses) from sales of properties and impairments related to depreciable rental property (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs.   
 
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common shareholders as an indication of the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.    FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition.  However, the Company’s FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). 
 
As the Company considers its primary earnings measure, net income available to common shareholders, as defined by GAAP, to be the most comparable earnings measure to FFO, the following table presents a reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO, as calculated in accordance with NAREIT’s current definition, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Inflation

The Company’s leases with the majority of its commercial 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.

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,” “potential,” “projected,” “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, 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 our properties;
·  
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 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  We assume no obligation to update and supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events, new information or otherwise.


Item 3.
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 $2.1 billion of the Company’s long-term debt as of March 31, 2014 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 rates on the Company’s variable rate debt as of March 31, 2014 ranged from LIBOR plus 110 basis points to LIBOR plus 350 basis points.  If market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, then the increase or decrease in interest costs on the Company’s variable rate debt would be approximately $1.5 million annually and the increase or decrease in the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of March 31, 2014 would be approximately $87 million.

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 4.     Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and acting 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.
