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 September 30, 2012, the Company owned or had interests in 276 properties plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”).  The Properties aggregate approximately 32.2 million square feet, which are comprised of 264 buildings, primarily office and office/flex buildings totaling approximately 31.8 million square feet (which include eight buildings, primarily office buildings aggregating approximately 1.2 million square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, two retail properties totaling approximately 17,300 square feet, one hotel (which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest) and three parcels of land leased to others.  The Properties are located in five 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. 
 
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. Pursuant to the Company’s adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations, effective January 1, 2009, 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 $765,000, and $969,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $2,738,000 and $2,849,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Included in total rental property is construction, tenant improvement and development in-progress of $46,794,000 and $37,069,000 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.  Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.  
 
The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup).  If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project.  The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, 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 initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. 
 
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 impairment may be realized in the future. 
  
Rental Property 
 
Held for Sale and 
 
Discontinued 
 
Operations
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets.  If, in management’s opinion, the 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.  Properties identified as held for sale and/or disposed of are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.  See Note 7: Discontinued Operations. 
 
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used.  A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. 
  
Investments in
Unconsolidated 
Joint Ventures
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. 
 
 
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 VIE (the “primary beneficiary”).  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.

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the updated provisions of ASC 810, which amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  Additionally, ASC 810 amends FIN 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both.  ASC 810 amends certain guidance in Interpretation 46(R) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity.  Also, ASC 810 amends FIN 46(R) to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.  The enhanced disclosures are required for any enterprise that holds a variable interest in a variable interest entity.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to these financial statements.  See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures for disclosures regarding the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures.  
 
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired.  An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment.  The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in commercial real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs.  As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, 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 $673,000 and $584,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $1,945,000 and $1,752,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  If a financing obligation is extinguished early, any unamortized deferred financing costs are written off and included in gains (loss) on early extinguishment of debt.  Such unamortized costs which were written off amounted to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and $370,000 and zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 
 
 
Deferred 
Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization.  Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties.  The portion of such compensation, which is capitalized and amortized, approximated $1,156,000 and $1,099,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $3,312,000 and $3,135,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  
 
 
 
 
 
11

 
 
 
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 terms of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial terms plus the terms 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 estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts.  A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract.  This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates.  Real estate services revenue includes property management, facilities management, leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients.  Other income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations. 
 
Allowance for
 
Doubtful Accounts
Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the 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 to its shareholders.  The Company has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”).  In general, a TRS of the Company may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated).  A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes. 
 
 
 
 
 
12

 
 
 
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 September 30, 2012, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the year 2007 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 amount. 
 
Dividends and 
 
Distributions 
Payable
The dividends and distributions payable at September 30, 2012 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (87,822,569 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (12,177,122 common units) for all such holders of record as of October 3, 2012 with respect to the third quarter 2012.  The third quarter 2012 common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.45 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on September 12, 2012.  The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on October 12, 2012. 
 
 
The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2011 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (87,800,047 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (12,197,122 common units) for all such holders of record as of January 5, 2012 with respect to the fourth quarter 2011.  The fourth quarter 2011 common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.45 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on December 6, 2011.  The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on January 13, 2012.

Costs Incurred 
 
For Stock 
 
Issuances
Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. 
 
Stock  
 
Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options and restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 using the intrinsic value method prescribed in the previously existing accounting guidance on accounting for stock issued to employees.  Under this guidance, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option granted.  Compensation cost for stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting period.  The Company’s policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of the Company’s stock on the business day preceding the grant date.  Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under the Company’s stock option plans for the granting of stock options made prior to 2002.  Restricted stock awards granted prior to 2002 are valued at the vesting dates of such awards with compensation cost for such awards recognized ratably over the vesting period. 
 
 
In 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.  In 2006, the Company adopted the amended guidance, which did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.  These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”) and stock options at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period.  The Company recorded restricted stock expense of $579,000 and $690,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $1,971,000 and $2,070,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 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.
  
  
3.     RECENT TRANSACTIONS
 
Roseland Transaction 
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 residential community developer and manager based in Short Hills, New Jersey, and the Roseland Partners’ interests, principally in the form of 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”), pursuant to a membership interest and asset purchase agreement dated as of October 8, 2012 (“Roseland Agreement”) with Roseland Partners and, for the limited purposes stated in the Roseland Agreement, the following principals of the Roseland Partners (“Roseland Principals”): Marshall B. Tycher, Bradford R. Klatt and Carl Goldberg (the “Roseland Transaction”).
 
The Roseland Assets consist primarily of interests in: six operating multi-family properties totaling 1,769 apartments, one condo-residential property totaling four units and four commercial properties totaling approximately 212,000 square feet; 13 in-process development projects, which include nine multi-family properties totaling 2,149 apartments, two garages totaling 1,591 parking spaces and two retail properties totaling approximately 35,400 square feet; and interests or options in land parcels which may support approximately 5,980 apartments, approximately 736,000 square feet of commercial space, and a 321-key hotel. The locations of the properties extend from New Jersey to Massachusetts. The majority of the properties are located in New Jersey, in particular, at its flagship development at Port Imperial in Weehawken and West New York, in addition to the Jersey City Waterfront and other urban in-fill and transit-oriented locations. 
 
 
 
14

 
 
 
The Roseland Assets and Roseland Business were acquired by the Company for aggregate consideration of up to approximately $134.6 million, subject to adjustment, consisting of: 
 
·  
approximately $115 million in cash (the “Roseland Cash Amount”);  
·  
approximately $4.0 million of assumed debt; and 
·  
up to an additional $15.6 million in cash (in the aggregate) that may be paid to Roseland Partners pursuant to certain earn-outs, which are based upon the achievement of certain operational milestones of the Roseland Assets and Roseland Business, including the completion of certain properties under construction, finalization of project financing and commencement of construction on certain properties, and achievement of other goals, during the three years following the closing date (the “Earn-Out Period”).  
 
The Roseland Cash Amount and related closing costs were financed by the Company primarily through borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and available cash.  The purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment and further adjustment upon the failure to achieve a certain level of fee revenue, during the 33-month period following the closing date, from certain management agreements, development services agreements and consulting agreements acquired as part of the Roseland Assets and Roseland Business.  Also, at the closing, approximately $34 million in cash from the Roseland Cash Amount was deposited in escrow to secure certain of the indemnification obligations of Roseland Partners and the Roseland Principals under the terms of the Roseland Agreement. 
 
During the Earn-Out Period, each of the Roseland Principals will serve as co-presidents of Roseland Management Services, L.P., a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Roseland Management”), pursuant to employment agreements executed at closing.  Mitchell E. Hersh, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, also is assuming the role of Chairman and Chief Executive of Roseland Management. 
 
The Roseland Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations of the parties thereto as set forth therein.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, included in general and administrative expense was approximately $3.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for transaction costs related to the Roseland Transaction.
 
Property Sales 
On July 25, 2012, the Company sold its 47,700 square foot office property located at 95 Chestnut Ridge Road in Montvale, New Jersey for net sales proceeds of approximately $4.0 million (with approximately no gain from the sale).  The Company had recognized a valuation allowance of $0.5 million on this property at March 31, 2012.
 
 
 
4.     INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
 
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, material misrepresentations, and as otherwise indicated below.

RED BANK CORPORATE PLAZA  
The Company has a joint venture with The PRC Group, which owns Red Bank Corporate Plaza, a 92,878 square foot office building located in Red Bank, New Jersey.  The property is fully leased to Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. through September 30, 2017.  The Company holds a 50 percent interest in the venture.   
 
The venture had a $20.3 million loan with a commercial bank collateralized by the office property, which bore interest at a rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 125 basis points and was scheduled to mature in May 2011.  In May 2011, the venture paid the lender $1.7 million and refinanced the remainder of the loan.  The new loan, with a balance of $17.5 million at September 30, 2012, bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points and matures on May 17, 2016.  LIBOR was 0.21 percent at September 30, 2012.  The loan includes contingent guarantees for a portion of the principal by the Company based on certain conditions.  On September 22, 2011, the interest rate on 75 percent of the loan was fixed at 3.99375 percent effective from October 17, 2011 through maturity.   
 
The Company performs management, leasing, and other services for the property owned by the joint venture and recognized $25,000 and $24,000 in fees for such services in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $75,000 and $72,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 
 
MACK-GREEN-GALE LLC/GRAMERCY AGREEMENT 
On May 9, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture, Mack-Green-Gale LLC and subsidiaries (“Mack-Green”), with SL Green, pursuant to which Mack-Green held an approximate 96 percent interest in and acted as general partner of Gale SLG NJ Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OPLP”).  The Company’s acquisition cost for its interest in Mack-Green was approximately $125 million, which was funded primarily through borrowing under the Company’s revolving credit facility.  At the time, the OPLP owned 100 percent of entities (“Property Entities”) which owned 25 office properties (the “OPLP Properties”) which aggregated 3.5 million square feet (consisting of 17 office properties aggregating 2.3 million square feet located in New Jersey and eight properties aggregating 1.2 million square feet located in Troy, Michigan).  In December 2007, the OPLP sold its eight properties located in Troy, Michigan for $83.5 million.  The venture recognized a loss of approximately $22.3 million from the sale.  
 
As defined in the Mack-Green operating agreement, the Company shared decision-making equally with SL Green regarding:  (i) all major decisions involving the operations of Mack-Green; and (ii) overall general partner responsibilities in operating the OPLP.  
 
The Mack-Green operating agreement generally provided for profits and losses to be allocated as follows: 
 
(i)  
   99 percent of Mack-Green’s share of the profits and losses from 10 specific OPLP Properties allocable to the Company and one percent allocable to SL Green; 
 
      (ii)
  one percent of Mack-Green’s share of the profits and losses from eight specific OPLP Properties and its minor interest in four office properties allocable to the Company and 99 percent allocable to SL Green; and 
      (iii)  50 percent of all other profits and losses allocable to the Company and 50 percent allocable to SL Green.  
 
Substantially all of the OPLP Properties were encumbered by mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $276.3 million at March 31, 2009.  $185.0 million of the mortgage loans bore interest at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.26 percent per annum and matured at various times through May 2016. 
 
Six of the OPLP Properties (the “Portfolio Properties”) were encumbered by $90.3 million of mortgage loans which bore interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points per annum and were scheduled to mature in May 2009.  The floating rate mortgage loans were provided to the six entities which owned the Portfolio Properties (collectively, the “Portfolio Entities”) by Gramercy, which was a related party of SL Green.  Based on the venture’s anticipated holding period pertaining to the Portfolio Properties, the venture believed that the carrying amounts of these properties may not have been recoverable at December 31, 2008.  Accordingly, as the venture determined that its carrying value of these properties exceeded the estimated fair value, it recorded an impairment charge of approximately $32.3 million as of December 31, 2008.

On April 29, 2009, the Company acquired the remaining interests in Mack-Green from SL Green.  As a result, the Company owns 100 percent of Mack-Green.  Additionally, on April 29, 2009, the mortgage loans with Gramercy on the Portfolio Properties (the “Gramercy Agreement”) were modified to provide for, among other things, interest to accrue at the current rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points per annum, with the interest pay rate capped at 3.15 percent per annum.  Under the Gramercy Agreement, the payment of debt service is subordinate to the payment of operating expenses.  Interest at the pay rate is payable only out of funds generated by the Portfolio Properties and only to the extent that the Portfolio Properties’ operating expenses have been paid, with any accrued unpaid interest above the pay rate serving to increase the balance of the amounts due at the termination of the agreement.  Any excess funds after payment of debt service generally will be escrowed and available for future capital and leasing costs, as well as to cover future cash flow shortfalls, as appropriate.  The Gramercy Agreement was scheduled to terminate on May 9, 2011.  Approximately six months in advance of the end of the term of the Gramercy Agreement, the Portfolio Entities are to provide estimates of each property’s fair market value (“FMV”).  Gramercy has the right to accept or reject the FMV.  If Gramercy rejects the FMV, Gramercy must market the property for sale in cooperation with the Portfolio Entities and must approve the ultimate sale.  However, Gramercy has no obligation to market a Portfolio Property if the FMV is less than the allocated amount due, including accrued, unpaid interest. If any Portfolio Property is not sold, the Portfolio Entities have agreed to give a deed in lieu of foreclosure, unless the FMV was equal to or greater than the allocated amount due for such Portfolio Property, in which case they can elect to have that Portfolio Property released by paying the FMV.  If Gramercy accepts the FMV, the Portfolio Property will be released from the Gramercy Agreement upon payment of the FMV.  Under the direction of Gramercy, the Company continues to perform management, leasing, and construction services for the Portfolio Properties at market terms.  The Portfolio Entities have a participation interest which provides for sharing 50 percent of any amount realized in excess of the allocated amounts due for each Portfolio Property.  On November 5, 2010, the Portfolio Entities that owned the remaining four unconsolidated Portfolio Properties provided estimates of the properties’ fair market values to Gramercy, pursuant to the Gramercy Agreement. 
 
As the Company acquired SL Green’s interests in Mack-Green, the Company owns 100 percent of Mack-Green and is consolidating Mack-Green as of the closing date.  Mack-Green, in turn, has been and will continue consolidating the OPLP as Mack-Green’s approximate 96 percent, general partner ownership interest in the OPLP remained unchanged as of the closing date.  Additionally, as of the closing date, the OPLP continues to consolidate its Property Entities not subject to the Gramercy Agreement, as its 100-percent ownership and rights regarding these entities were unchanged in the transaction.  The OPLP does not consolidate the Portfolio Entities subject to the Gramercy Agreement, as the Gramercy Agreement is considered a reconsideration event under the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation, and accordingly, the Portfolio Entities were deemed to be variable interest entities for which the OPLP was not considered the primary beneficiary based on the Gramercy Agreement as described above.  As a result of the SLG Transactions, the Company has an unconsolidated joint venture interest in the Portfolio Properties. 
 
On March 31, 2010, the venture sold one of its unconsolidated Portfolio Properties subject to the Gramercy Agreement, 1280 Wall Street West, a 121,314 square foot office property, located in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, for approximately $13.9 million, which was primarily used to pay down mortgage loans pursuant to the Gramercy Agreement. 
 
On December 17, 2010, the venture repaid the $26.8 million allocated loan amount of one of the unconsolidated Portfolio Properties which was subject to the Gramercy Agreement, One Grande Commons, a 198,376 square foot office property, located in Bridgewater, New Jersey.  Concurrent with the repayment, the venture placed $11 million mortgage financing on the property obtained from a bank.  As a result of the repayment of the existing mortgage loan, the venture, which is consolidated by the Company, obtained a controlling interest and is consolidating the office property. 
 
The Company performed management, leasing, and construction services for properties which had been owned by the unconsolidated joint ventures and recognized $117,000 and $108,000 in income for such services in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $354,000 and $382,000 in income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

On October 18, 2012, the Portfolio Entities transferred the deeds of the four remaining Portfolio Properties to Gramercy in satisfaction of their obligations.

7.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
The Company’s office property located at 2200 Renaissance Boulevard in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, aggregating 174,124 square feet, was collateral for a $16.2 million mortgage loan scheduled to mature on December 1, 2012.  The Company had recorded an impairment charge on the property of $9.5 million at December 31, 2010. On March 28, 2012, the Company transferred the deed for 2200 Renaissance Boulevard to the lender in satisfaction of its obligations.  As a result, the Company recorded a gain on the disposal of the office property of approximately $4.5 million.   
 
At March 31, 2012, the Company identified as held for sale its 47,700 square foot office building located at 95 Chestnut Ridge Road in Montvale, New Jersey.  The Company determined that the carrying amount of this property was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds and, accordingly, recognized a valuation allowance of $0.5 million at March 31, 2012.  On July 25, 2012, the Company sold the building for approximately $4.0 million (with approximately no gain from the sale). 
 
At March 31, 2012, the Company identified as held for sale three office buildings totaling 222,258 square feet in Moorestown, New Jersey.  The Company determined that the aggregate carrying amount of these properties was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds and, accordingly, recognized a valuation allowance of $1.6 million at June 30, 2012.   The three properties held for sale at September 30, 2012 carried an aggregate book value of $18.4 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $8.2 million, and a valuation allowance of $1.6 million.  The fair values of these properties are categorized as a level 3 basis, and the Company has used purchase prices from prospective buyers (net of estimated selling costs) in determining the values.

The Company has presented all of the above properties as discontinued operations in its statements of operations for all periods presented.

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 Company did not make any contributions nor recognize any expense for the 401(k) Plan for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  
 
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 $2.2 billion and $2.1 billion as compared to the book value of approximately $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 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. 
 
 
 
26

 
 
 
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  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 September 30, 2012 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

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 $129.6 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 Timothy M. Jones, former president), the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, a former director, and John J. Cali, a former director).  127 of the Company’s properties, with an aggregate net book value of $1.7 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.

In August 2011, the Company commenced construction of a 203,000 square foot office building which is pre-leased for 15 years and three months, subject to two extension options of between five and 10 years each, to Wyndham Worldwide.  Wyndham currently leases space in neighboring buildings in the Mack-Cali Business Campus in Parsippany, New Jersey.  The new building is expected to be delivered to the tenant in the first quarter of 2013 at a total estimated cost, including leasing costs, of approximately $53.5 million (of which the Company has incurred $30.7 million through September 30, 2012, including $13.0 million of land costs). 
 
In December 2011, the Company entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ironstate Development LLC (“Ironstate”) for the development of residential towers with associated parking and ancillary retail space on land owned by the Company at its Harborside Financial Center complex in Jersey City, New Jersey (the “Harborside Residential Project”).  The first phase of the project is expected to consist of a parking pedestal to support a high-rise tower of approximately 766 apartment units and estimated to cost approximately $243 million.  The parties anticipate the first phase will be ready for occupancy by approximately the second quarter of 2015.  
 
Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company and Ironstate shall co-develop the Harborside Residential Project with Ironstate responsible for obtaining all required development permits and approvals.  Major decisions with respect to the Harborside Residential Project will require the consent of the Company and Ironstate.  The Company and Ironstate will have 85 and 15 percent interests, respectively, in the Harborside Residential Project.  The Company will receive capital credit of $30 per approved developable square foot for its land. 
 
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 Harborside Residential 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 its 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 first quarter of 2014.  The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $12.1 million for the construction of the finished pad (of which the Company has incurred $0.5 million through September 30, 2012).
  
 
14.     TENANT LEASES
 
The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2033.  Substantially all of the 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.

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. 
 
PREFERRED STOCK 
The Company had 10,000 shares of eight-percent Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock issued and outstanding (“Series C Preferred Stock”) in the form of 1,000,000 depositary shares ($25 stated value per depositary share).  Each depositary share represented 1/100th of a share of Series C Preferred Stock.  The Series C Preferred Stock was essentially on an equivalent basis in priority with the preferred units of the Operating Partnership (See Note 16: Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries).  On October 28, 2011, the Company redeemed its Series C Preferred Stock, at a price of $2,500 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the date prior to the redemption date.  The write off of preferred stock issuance costs of $164,000 was included in preferred stock dividends for the year ended December 31, 2011.  
 
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.  No shares were purchased under the Repurchase Program through September 30, 2012.  From October 1, 2012 through October 23, 2012, the Company purchased and retired 394,625 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $11.0 million, with a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139.0 million.
 
 
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance.  The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the Company’s shares of common stock.  The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.   
 
STOCK OPTION PLANS 
In May 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan under which a total of 2,500,000 shares have been reserved for issuance.  No options have been granted through September 30, 2012 under this plan.  In September 2000, the Company established the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (“2000 Employee Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2000 Director Stock Option Plan (“2000 Director Plan”).  In May 2002, shareholders of the Company approved amendments to both plans to increase the total shares reserved for issuance under both of the 2000 plans from 2,700,000 to 4,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 shares under the 2000 Employee Plan and from 200,000 to 350,000 shares under the 2000 Director Plan).  In 1994, and as subsequently amended, the Company established the Mack-Cali Employee Stock Option Plan (“Employee Plan”) and the Mack-Cali Director Stock Option Plan (“Director Plan”) under which a total of 5,380,188 shares (subject to adjustment) of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance (4,980,188 shares under the Employee Plan and 400,000 shares under the Director Plan).  As the Employee Plan and Director Plan expired in 2004, and the 2000 Employee Plan and 2000 Director Plan expired in 2010, stock options may no longer be issued under those plans.  Stock options granted under the Employee Plan in 1994 and 1995 became exercisable over a three-year period.  Stock options granted under the 2000 Employee Plan and those options granted subsequent to 1995 under the Employee Plan became exercisable over a five-year period.  All stock options granted under both the 2000 Director Plan and 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the stock options outstanding, which were all exercisable, had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 0.4 and 1.1 years, respectively.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $0.6 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 0.3 years.

STOCK COMPENSATION 
The Company has issued stock awards (“Restricted Stock Awards”) to officers, certain other employees, and nonemployee members of the Board of Directors of the Company, which allow the holders to each receive a certain amount of shares of the Company’s common stock generally over a one to seven-year vesting period, of which 105,843 unvested shares were outstanding at September 30, 2012.  Of the outstanding Restricted Stock Awards issued to executive officers and senior management, 40,877 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, with the remaining based on time and service. All Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers and certain other employees were issued under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan, 2000 Employee Plan and the Employee Plan. Restricted Stock Awards provided to directors were issued under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan and the 2000 Director 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 goals to be set by the Committee for each year.   
 
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.  The Performance Shares may vest commencing December 31, 2013, with the number of Performance Shares scheduled to be vested and earned on each vesting date on an annual basis over a five year vesting schedule and with each annual vesting of each tranche of Performance Shares being subject to the attainment at each fiscal year 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 year.  TSR, for purposes of the TSR-Based Performance Agreements, shall be equal to the share appreciation plus any dividends (including special dividends) distributed in the relevant period.  

DEFERRED RETIREMENT COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS 
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. For 2013, the number of Stock Units will be determined using a fixed grant date price of $30.00 per share. 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 13,057 and 10,620 deferred stock units were earned, respectively.  As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were 110,666 and 98,009 director stock units outstanding, respectively. 
 
EARNINGS 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 properties not owned by the Company. 
 
OPERATING PARTNERSHIP 
 
Preferred Units 
In connection with the Company’s issuance of $25 million of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company acquired from the Operating Partnership $25 million of Series C Preferred Units (the “Series C Preferred Units”), which had terms essentially identical to the Series C Preferred Stock.  In connection with the Company’s redemption of Series C Preferred Stock on October 28, 2011, the Operating Partnership redeemed from the company all issued and outstanding Series C Preferred Units.  See Note 15: Mack-Cali Realty Corporation Stockholders’ Equity – Preferred Stock. 
 
 
 
34

 
 
 
 
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 nine months ended September 30, 2012:
   
 
Common
 
Units
Balance at January 1, 2012
12,197,122
Redemption of common units for shares of common stock
(20,000)
   
Balance at September 30, 2012
12,177,122
 
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 nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company has increased noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and decreased additional paid-in capital in Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity by approximately $0.3 million as of September 30, 2012. 
 
NONCONTROLLING INTEREST OWNERSHIP 
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the noncontrolling interest common unitholders owned 12.2 percent and 12.2 percent of the Operating Partnership, respectively. 
 
CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES 
The Company has ownership interests in certain joint ventures which it consolidates.  Various entities and/or individuals hold noncontrolling interests in these ventures. 
 
PARTICIPATION RIGHTS 
The Company’s interests in certain real estate projects (four office buildings aggregating 860,246 square feet and two future developments) acquired in 2006 each provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter, other parties, including Mark Yeager, a former executive officer of the Company, 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 internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 10 percent per annum.

17.     SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company operates in two business segments: (i) real estate and (ii) construction services.  The Company provides leasing, property and facilities management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its portfolio.  In May 2006, in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of the Gale Company and related businesses, the Company acquired a business specializing solely in construction and related services whose operations comprise the Company’s construction services segment.  The Company had no revenues from foreign countries recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  The Company had no long lived assets in foreign locations as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  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 the real estate segment and net operating income from its construction services segment.

Item 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  
 
GENERAL  
 
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 September 30, 2012, the Company owns or has interests in 276 properties (collectively, the “Properties”), primarily class A office and office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 32.2 million square feet, leased to over 2,000 tenants.  The Properties are located primarily in suburban markets of the Northeast, some with adjacent, Company-controlled developable land sites able to accommodate up to 11.5 million square feet of additional commercial space. 

The Company’s strategy is to be a significant real estate owner and operator in its core, high-barriers-to-entry markets, primarily in the Northeast. 
 
As an owner of real estate, almost all of the Company’s earnings and cash flow is derived from rental revenue received pursuant to leased space at the Properties.  Key factors that affect the Company’s business and financial results include the following: 

· 
 
· 
the general economic climate;
· 
the occupancy rates of the Properties;
· 
rental rates on new or renewed leases;
· 
tenant improvement and leasing costs incurred to obtain and retain tenants;
· 
the extent of early lease terminations;
· 
operating expenses;
· 
cost of capital; and
· 
the extent of acquisitions, development and sales of real estate.
 
Any negative effects of the above key factors could potentially cause a deterioration in the Company’s revenue and/or earnings.  Such negative effects could include: (1) failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire; (2) failure to renew or execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases; and (3) tenant defaults. 
 
A failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire or to execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases may be affected by several factors such as: (1) the local economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors; and (2) local real estate conditions, such as oversupply of office and office/flex space or competition within the market. 
 
The Company’s core markets continue to be weak.  The percentage leased in the Company’s consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties was 87.5 percent at September 30, 2012 as compared to 87.6 percent at June 30, 2012 and 88.2 percent at September 30, 2011.  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 September 30, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 aggregate 113,335, 198,109 and 30,668 square feet, respectively, or 0.4, 0.6 and 0.1 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively.  Rental rates (including escalations) on the Company’s space that was renewed (based on first rents payable) during the three months ended September 30, 2012 (on 463,883 square feet of renewals) increased an average of 5.9 percent compared to rates that were in effect under the prior leases, as compared to a 1.2 percent decrease during the three months ended September 30, 2011 (on 886,387 square feet of renewals).  Estimated lease costs for the renewed leases during the three months ended September 30, 2012 averaged $1.24 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 3.9 years, and estimated lease costs for the renewed leases for the three months ended September 30, 2011 averaged $2.53 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 3.5 years.  The Company believes that vacancy rates may continue to increase and rental rates may continue to decline in some of its markets through 2012 and possibly beyond.  As of September 30, 2012, leases which comprise approximately 11.1 percent of the Company’s annualized base rent are scheduled to expire during the year ended December 31, 2013.  With the decline of rental rates in our markets over the past few years, as leases expire in 2013, 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. 
 
 
 
38

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

· 
 
· 
recent transactions;
· 
critical accounting policies and estimates;
· 
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011; and
· 
liquidity and capital resources. 
 
 
Recent Transactions 
 
Roseland Transaction 
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 residential community developer and manager based in Short Hills, New Jersey, and the Roseland Partners’ interests, principally in the form of 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”), pursuant to a membership interest and asset purchase agreement dated as of October 8, 2012 (“Roseland Agreement”) with Roseland Partners and, for the limited purposes stated in the Roseland Agreement, the following principals of the Roseland Partners (“Roseland Principals”): Marshall B. Tycher, Bradford R. Klatt and Carl Goldberg (the “Roseland Transaction”). 

The Roseland Assets consist primarily of interests in: six operating multi-family properties totaling 1,769 apartments, one condo-residential property totaling four units and four commercial properties totaling approximately 212,000 square feet; 13 in-process development projects, which include nine multi-family properties totaling 2,149 apartments, two garages totaling 1,591 parking spaces and two retail properties totaling approximately 35,400 square feet; and interests or options in land parcels which may support approximately 5,980 apartments, approximately 736,000 square feet of commercial space, and a 321-key hotel. The locations of the properties extend from New Jersey to Massachusetts. The majority of the properties are located in New Jersey, in particular, at its flagship development at Port Imperial in Weehawken and West New York, in addition to the Jersey City Waterfront and other urban in-fill and transit-oriented locations. 
 
The Roseland Assets and Roseland Business were acquired by the Company for aggregate consideration of up to approximately $134.6 million, subject to adjustment, consisting of: 
 
·  
approximately $115 million in cash (the “Roseland Cash Amount”);  
·  
approximately $4.0 million of assumed debt; and 
·  
up to an additional $15.6 million in cash (in the aggregate) that may be paid to Roseland Partners pursuant to certain earn-outs, which are based upon the achievement of certain operational milestones of the Roseland Assets and Roseland Business, including the completion of certain properties under construction, finalization of project financing and commencement of construction on certain properties, and achievement of other goals, during the three years following the closing date (the “Earn-Out Period”).  
 
 
 
 
39

 
 
 
The Roseland Cash Amount and related closing costs were financed by the Company primarily through borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and available cash.  The purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment and further adjustment upon the failure to achieve a certain level of fee revenue, during the 33-month period following the closing date, from certain management agreements, development services agreements and consulting agreements acquired as part of the Roseland Assets and Roseland Business.  Also, at the closing, approximately $34 million in cash from the Roseland Cash Amount was deposited in escrow to secure certain of the indemnification obligations of Roseland Partners and the Roseland Principals under the terms of the Roseland Agreement. 
 
During the Earn-Out Period, each of the Roseland Principals will serve as co-presidents of Roseland Management Services, L.P., a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Roseland Management”), pursuant to employment agreements executed at closing.  Mitchell E. Hersh, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, also is assuming the role of Chairman and Chief Executive of Roseland Management. 
 
The Roseland Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations of the parties thereto as set forth therein.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, included in general and administrative expense was approximately $3.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for transaction costs related to the Roseland Transaction.
 
The Company intends to pursue additional multifamily residential investments in its core Northeast markets, both through acquisitions and developments, with the goal of expanding its holdings in the multifamily sector.   
 
Property Sales 
On July 25, 2012, the Company sold its 47,700 square foot office property located at 95 Chestnut Ridge Road in Montvale, New Jersey for net sales proceeds of approximately $4.0 million (with approximately no gain from the sale).  The Company had recognized a valuation allowance of $0.5 million on this property at March 31, 2012.  
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 
 
The Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.  These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time.  However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.  The Company’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain.  Different estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results.  Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

Rental Property:
Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized.  Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development.  Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.  Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts. 
 
The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup).  If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project.  The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, 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 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 term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. 
 
Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant.  Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases.  In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions.  In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.  Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals.  The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.  The value of tenant relationship intangibles will be amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties may be impaired.  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 and Discontinued Operations:
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets.  If, in management’s opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established.  Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.  
 
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used.  A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. 
 
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:
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. 
 
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 (the “primary beneficiary”).  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. 
 
 
On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the updated provisions of ASC 810, which amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  Additionally, ASC 810 amends FIN 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both.  ASC 810 amends certain guidance in Interpretation 46(R) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity.  Also, ASC 810 amends FIN 46(R) to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.  The enhanced disclosures are required for any enterprise that holds a variable interest in a variable interest entity.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Financial Statements.  See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures to the Financial Statements for disclosures regarding the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired.  An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment.  The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in commercial real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs.  As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.  
 
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 initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases.  The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.  Escalations and recoveries from tenants are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements.  These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs.   
 
 
Construction services revenue includes fees earned and reimbursements received by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients.  Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method.  Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of our estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts.  A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract.  This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates.  Real estate services revenue includes property management, facilities management, leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients.  Other income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services arranged for the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations. 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the 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.

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties decreased $1.8 million, or 1.2 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to a decrease in occupancy in 2012 as compared to 2011.  Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.6 million, or 2.8 percent, for 2012 over 2011, due primarily to higher property expenses (including the effect of real estate tax appeal proceeds) in 2012, as compared to 2011.  Other income for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.3 million, or 12.9 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to an increase in tenant services in 2012.   
 
Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $8.0 million, or 56.1 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011.  The change in real estate taxes principally results from tax appeal proceeds, net of associated professional fees, decreasing by approximately $8.1 million, or 85.7 percent, from 2011 to 2012.  Real estate taxes, without the effect of net tax appeal proceeds, decreased $0.1 million, or 0.5 percent, principally due to lower assessments on numerous properties in 2012 as compared to 2011.  Utilities for the Same-Store Properties decreased $2.0 million, or 10.0 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to lower rates and usage in 2012 as compared to 2011.  Operating services for the Same-Store Properties were relatively unchanged for 2012 as compared 2011.    
 
Construction services revenue decreased $1.2 million, or 50.4 percent, in 2012 as compared to 2011, due to decreased construction contracts in 2012.  Real estate services revenue was relatively unchanged for 2012 as compared to 2011.   
 
Direct construction costs decreased $1.3 million, or 57.2 percent, in 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to decreased construction contracts in 2012.  General and administrative expense increased $4.0 million, or 45.7 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, which was due primarily to $3.8 million of costs in connection with the Roseland Transaction in 2012.  
 
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.3 million, or 0.5 percent, for 2012 over 2011.  This decrease was due primarily to assets becoming fully amortized in 2012.   
 
Interest expense decreased $0.5 million, or 1.7 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011.  This decrease was primarily a result of lower average borrowing rates in 2012 as compared to 2011, partially offset by higher average debt balances.  
 
Interest and other investment income was relatively unchanged for 2012 as compared to 2011.   
 
 
 
45

 
 
 
Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $1.9 million, or 348.6 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to income of $0.9 million in 2012 from the Stamford SM LLC venture, which was entered into in February 2012, and increased income of $0.7 million in the Harborside South Pier venture for 2012 as compared to 2011 due to higher occupancy and hotel events. 
 
Income from continuing operations decreased to $15.9 million in 2012 from $24.2 million in 2011.  The decrease of $8.3 million was due to the factors discussed above. 
 
Net income available to common shareholders decreased by $6.2 million, from $20.5 million in 2011 to $14.3 million in 2012.  This decrease was the result of a decrease in income from continuing operations of $8.3 million for 2012 as compared to 2011.  This was partially offset by a decrease in noncontrolling interest in Operating Partnership of $1.1 million for 2012 as compared to 2011, a decrease in preferred stock dividends of $0.7 million, and an increase in income from discontinued operations of $0.3 million for 2012 as compared to 2011.

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties decreased $1.9 million, or 0.4 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to a decrease in occupancy in 2012 as compared to 2011.  Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties decreased $9.4 million, or 13.0 percent, for 2012 over 2011, due primarily to lower property expenses (including the effect of real estate tax appeal proceeds) in 2012, as compared to 2011.  Other income for the Same-Store Properties increased $5.4 million, or 54.3 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to an increase in lease breakage fees recognized in 2012 as compared to 2011.   
 
Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties increased $6.9 million, or 10.9 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011.  The change in real estate taxes principally results from tax appeal proceeds, net of associated professional fees, decreasing by $6.6 million, or 65.0 percent, from 2011 to 2012.  Real estate taxes, without the effect of net tax appeal proceeds, increased $0.3 million, or 0.5 percent, principally due to higher rates in certain municipalities in 2012 as compared to 2011.  Utilities for the Same-Store Properties decreased $7.8 million, or 13.9 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to lower rates and usage in 2012 as compared to 2011.  Operating services for the Same-Store Properties decreased $4.1 million, or 4.8 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to a decrease in snow removal costs for 2012 as compared to 2011, as a result of a milder winter in 2012.   
 
Construction services revenue increased $0.3 million, or 2.8 percent, in 2012 as compared to 2011, due to increased construction contracts in late 2011 and early 2012.  Real estate services revenue was relatively unchanged for 2012 as compared to 2011.   
 
Direct construction costs were relatively unchanged for 2012 as compared to 2011.  General and administrative expense increased $8.8 million, or 33.3 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, which was due primarily to $6.3 million in costs incurred in 2012 in connection with the Roseland Transaction, compared to 2011, $1.4 million in costs related to the departure of one of the Company’s executive vice presidents in 2012 and an increase in marketing expenses of $1.0 million in 2012 as compared to 2011. 
 
Depreciation and amortization was relatively unchanged for 2012 as compared to 2011. 
 
 
 
48

 
 
 
Interest expense was relatively unchanged for 2012 as compared to 2011, due to lower average borrowing rates offset by higher average debt balances.   
   
Interest and other investment income was relatively unchanged for 2012 as compared to 2011.   
 
Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $3.6 million, or 304.7 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to income of $2.2 million in 2012 from the Stamford SM LLC venture, which was entered into in February 2012, and increased income of $1.1 million in the Harborside South Pier venture due to higher occupancy and hotel events. 
 
In 2012, the Company recognized a loss from early extinguishment of debt of $4.4 million, due to the early redemption of senior unsecured notes. 
 
Income from continuing operations decreased to $54.1 million in 2012 from $62.7 million in 2011.  The decrease of $8.6 million was due to the factors discussed above. 
 
Realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property in 2012 of $2.4 million was comprised of a realized gain of $4.5 million on the disposition of an office property in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania (related to the transfer of the property to the mortgage lender in satisfaction of its obligations), partially offset by a valuation allowance of $2.1 million related to properties identified as held for sale.  The Company had recorded an impairment charge on the King of Prussia property of $9.5 million at December 31, 2010.  The above properties are classified as discontinued operations for 2012 and 2011.  Income from discontinued operations increased $0.1 million for 2012 as compared to 2011. 
 
Net income available to common shareholders decreased by $3.4 million, from $53.6 million in 2011 to approximately $50.2 million in 2012.  This decrease was the result of a decrease in income from continuing operations of $8.6 million for 2012 as compared to 2011, an unrealized loss of $2.1 million in 2012, an increase in noncontrolling interest in discontinued operations of $0.3 million for 2012 as compared to 2011, and a decrease in noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint ventures of $0.1 million for 2012 as compared to 2011.  These were partially offset by a realized gain on the disposition of rental property of $4.5 million in 2012, a decrease in preferred stock dividends of $1.7 million, a decrease in noncontrolling interest in Operating Partnership of $1.4 million for 2012 as compared to 2011, and an increase in income from discontinued operations of $0.1 million for 2012 as compared to 2011. 
 
 
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 and other debt and equity financings. 
 
The Company believes that with the general downturn in the Company’s markets in recent years, it is reasonably likely that vacancy rates may continue to increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may continue to decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may continue to increase in most or all of its markets in 2012 and possibly beyond.  As a result of the potential negative effects on the Company’s revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space, the Company’s cash flow could be insufficient to cover increased tenant installation costs over the short-term.  If this situation were to occur, the Company expects that it would finance any shortfalls through borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt and equity financings. 
 
The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its working capital, net cash provided by operating activities and from its revolving credit facility.  The Company frequently examines potential property acquisitions and development projects and, at any given time, one or more of such acquisitions or development projects may be under consideration.  Accordingly, the ability to fund property acquisitions and development projects is a major part of the Company’s financing requirements.  The Company expects to meet its financing requirements through funds generated from operating activities, to the extent available, proceeds from property sales, long-term and short-term borrowings (including draws on the Company’s revolving credit facility) and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.

Construction Projects:
In August 2011, the Company commenced construction of a 203,000 square foot office building which is pre-leased for 15 years and three months, subject to two extension options of between five and 10 years each, to Wyndham Worldwide.  Wyndham currently leases space in neighboring buildings in the Mack-Cali Business Campus in Parsippany, New Jersey.  The new building is expected to be delivered to the tenant in the first quarter of 2013 at a total estimated cost, including leasing costs, of approximately $53.5 million (of which the Company has incurred $30.7 million through September 30, 2012, including $13.0 million of land costs). 
 
In December 2011, the Company entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ironstate Development LLC (“Ironstate”) for the development of residential towers with associated parking and ancillary retail space on land owned by the Company at its Harborside Financial Center complex in Jersey City, New Jersey (the “Harborside Residential Project”).  The first phase of the project is expected to consist of a parking pedestal to support a high-rise tower of approximately 766 apartment units and estimated to cost approximately $243 million.  The parties anticipate the first phase will be ready for occupancy by approximately the second quarter of 2015.  
 
Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company and Ironstate shall co-develop the Harborside Residential Project with Ironstate responsible for obtaining all required development permits and approvals.  Major decisions with respect to the Harborside Residential Project will require the consent of the Company and Ironstate.  The Company and Ironstate will have 85 and 15 percent interests, respectively, in the Harborside Residential Project.  The Company will receive capital credit of $30 per approved developable square foot for its land. 
 
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 Harborside Residential 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 its 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 first quarter of 2014.  The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $12.1 million for the construction of the finished pad (of which the Company has incurred $0.5 million through September 30, 2012). 
 
REIT Restrictions:
To maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code, the Company must make annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains.  Moreover, the Company intends to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders.  Based upon the most recently paid quarterly common stock dividend of $0.45 per common share, in the aggregate, such distributions would equal approximately $158.1 million ($180.0 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 (a) available cash, including borrowings and other sources, after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock dividends and distributions, and scheduled debt service on the Company’s debt, and (b) for distributions declared on or before December 31, 2012 with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2011, our stock, as permitted pursuant to Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2010-12, 2010-3 I.R.B. Under this Revenue Procedure, we are permitted to make taxable distributions of our stock (in lieu of cash) if (x) any such distribution is declared on or before December 31, 2012 with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2011, and (y) each of our stockholders is permitted to elect to receive its entire entitlement under such declaration in either cash or shares of equivalent value subject to a limitation in the amount of cash to be distributed in the aggregate; provided that (i) the amount of cash that we set aside for distribution is not less than 10 percent of the aggregate distribution so declared, and (ii) if too many of our stockholders elect to receive cash, a pro rata amount of cash will be distributed to each such stockholder electing to receive cash, but in no event will any such stockholder receive less than its entire entitlement under such declaration.

Property Lock-Ups:
The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprised of seven properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $129.6 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 Timothy M. Jones, former president), the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, a former director, and John J. Cali, a former director).  As of September 30, 2012, 127 of the Company’s properties, with an aggregate net book value of $1.7 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions. 
 
Unencumbered Properties:
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had 237 unencumbered properties, totaling 24.7 million square feet, representing 79.6 percent of the Company’s total portfolio on a square footage basis. 
 
 
Cash Flows 
 
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.0 million to $21.5 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $20.5 million at December 31, 2011.  This decrease is comprised of the following net cash flow items:

Senior Unsecured Notes:
On April 19, 2012, the Company completed the sale of $300 million face amount of 4.50 percent senior unsecured notes due April 18, 2022 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears.  The net proceeds from the issuance of $296.8 million, after underwriting discount and offering expenses, were used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. 
 
On May 25, 2012, the Company redeemed $94.9 million principal amount of its 6.15 percent senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2012 (the “2002 Notes”).  The redemption price, including a make-whole premium, was 103.19 percent of the principal amount of the 2002 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date.  The Company funded the redemption price, including accrued and unpaid interest, of approximately $100.5 million from borrowing on its unsecured revolving credit facility, as well as cash on hand. In connection with the redemption, the Company recorded approximately $3.3 million as a loss from early extinguishment of debt.  
 
On May 25, 2012, the Company redeemed $26.1 million principal amount of its 5.82 percent senior unsecured notes due March 15, 2013 (the “2003 Notes”).  The redemption price, including a make-whole premium, was 103.87 percent of the principal amount of the 2003 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date.  The Company funded the redemption price, including accrued and unpaid interest, of approximately $27.4 million from borrowing on its unsecured revolving credit facility, as well as cash on hand. In connection with the redemption, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 million as a loss from early extinguishment of debt . 
 
The terms of the Company’s senior unsecured notes (which totaled approximately $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2012) 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 October 21, 2011, the Company amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of 20 lenders.  The $600 million facility is expandable to $1 billion and matures in October 2015. It has a one year extension option with the payment of a 20 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, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness, the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage and certain investment limitations.  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 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 (“the lender”) with maturities of 30 days or less.  The rate of interest on the Money Market Loan borrowing is set at the time of each borrowing.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Money Market Loan program. 
 
Mortgages, Loans Payable and Other Obligations:
The Company has mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Company’s rental properties.  Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only. 

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 October 23, 2012, the Company had $223 million in outstanding borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and no outstanding borrowings under the Money Market Loan.  The Company is reviewing various refinancing options, including the purchase of its senior unsecured notes in privately-negotiated transactions, the issuance of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt, common and preferred stock, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt, some or all of which may be completed through 2013.  The Company currently anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company’s capital and liquidity needs in the short term.  However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, due to current economic conditions or otherwise, the Company’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed in “REIT Restrictions” above may be adversely affected.

Share Repurchase Program:
The Company has a share repurchase program which was renewed and authorized by its Board of Directors in September 2012 to purchase up to $150 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”), which it may repurchase from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.  No shares were purchased under the Repurchase Program through September 30, 2012.  From October 1, 2012 through October 23, 2012, the Company purchased and retired 394,625 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $11.0 million, with a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139.0 million.   
 
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan:
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance.  The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the Company’s shares of common stock.  The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the 5.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.   
 
Shelf Registration Statements:
The Company has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, and/or warrants of the Company, under which no securities have been sold as of October 23, 2012. 
 
The Company and the Operating Partnership also have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.5 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and guarantees of the Company and debt securities of the Operating Partnership, under which $300 million of securities have been sold as of October 23, 2012 and $2.2 billion remains available for future issuances.
 
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 
 
Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt:
The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures are generally non-recourse to the Company except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations.  The Company has also posted a $5.1 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.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

Inflation
 
The Company’s leases with the majority of its tenants provide for recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, which reduce the Company’s exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation. 
 
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS   
 
We consider portions of this information, including the documents incorporated by reference, to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of such act.  Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations and projections of revenue and other financial items.  Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “potential,” “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 office, office/flex and industrial/warehouse 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. 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 $1.9 billion of the Company’s long-term debt as of September 30, 2012 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 September 30, 2012 ranged from LIBOR plus 125 basis points to LIBOR plus 200 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 $780,000 annually and the increase or decrease in the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2012 would be approximately $29 million.

Item 4.        Controls and Procedures 
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act. 
Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
