PART I

ITEM 1.      BUSINESS

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

As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned or had interests in 279 properties, consisting of 267 commercial properties, primarily class A office and office/flex properties, totaling approximately 31.0 million square feet, leased to approximately 2,000 commercial tenants and 12 multi-family rental properties containing over 3,600 residential units, plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”).  The Properties are comprised of: (a) 247 wholly-owned or Company-controlled properties consisting of 135 office buildings and 95 office/flex buildings aggregating approximately 27.6 million square feet, six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, five multi-family properties totaling 1,081 apartments, three stand-alone retail properties totaling approximately 40,000 square feet, and three land leases (collectively, the “Consolidated Properties”); and (b) 22 office and two retail properties, aggregating approximately 3.0 million square feet, seven multi-family properties totaling 2,597 apartments, and a 350-room hotel, which are owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references to square feet represent net rentable area.  As of December 31, 2013, the office, office/flex, industrial/warehouse and stand-alone retail properties included in the Consolidated Properties were 86.1 percent leased.  Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future, and leases that expire at the period end date.  Leases that expire as of December 31, 2013 aggregate 690,895 square feet, or 2.5 percent of the net rentable square footage.  The Properties are located in seven states, primarily in the Northeast, and the District of Columbia.  See Item 2: Properties.

The Company’s historical strategy has been to focus its operations, acquisition and development of office properties in high-barrier-to-entry markets and sub-markets where it believes it is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator.  With changing work force demographics and reduced demand for suburban office properties in its markets, the Company intends to leverage its experience and expertise in its core Northeast markets to aggressively pursue multi-family rental investments in those markets, both through acquisitions and development, both wholly owned and through joint ventures.  This strategy includes selectively disposing of office and office/flex assets and re-deploying proceeds to multi-family rental properties, as well as the repositioning of a portion of its office properties and land held for development to multi-family rental properties.

The Company believes that its Properties have excellent locations and access and are well-maintained and professionally managed.  As a result, the Company believes that its Properties attract high quality tenants and residents, and achieve high rental, occupancy and tenant retention rates within their markets.  The Company also believes that its extensive market knowledge provides it with a significant competitive advantage, which is further enhanced by its strong reputation for, and emphasis on, delivering highly responsive, professional management services.  See “Business Strategies.”

As of December 31, 2013, executive officers and directors of the Company and their affiliates owned approximately six percent of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (including Units redeemable into shares of Common Stock).  As used herein, the term “Units” refers to limited partnership interests in Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) through which the Company conducts its real estate activities.  The Company’s executive officers have been employed by the Company and/or its predecessor companies for an average of approximately 26 years.

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

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

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

The Company’s in-house multi-family rental management team emphasizes meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to customer service to complement the quality, design excellence and luxury living attributes of its multi-family rental properties.  The Company believes this strategy will enable the Company to buttress management’s reputation with the market-leading designs, amenities and features of its multi-family rental properties to attract quality residents.

Portfolio Management: The Company plans to continue to own and operate a portfolio of office and office/flex properties in high-barrier-to-entry markets, with a primary focus in the Northeast.   The Company also expects to continue to complement its core portfolio of office and office/flex properties by pursuing acquisition and development opportunities in the multi-family rental sector.   The Company’s primary objectives are to maximize operating cash flow and to enhance the value of its portfolio through effective management, acquisition, development and property sales strategies.

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

The Company continually reviews its portfolio and opportunities to divest office and office/flex properties that, among other things, no longer meet its long-term strategy, have reached their potential, are less efficient to operate or can be sold at attractive prices when market conditions are favorable.  The Company anticipates redeploying the proceeds from sales of office and office/flex properties to develop, redevelop and acquire multi-family rental properties, as well as reposition certain office properties into multi-family/mixed use properties, in its core Northeast sub-markets as part of its overall strategy to reposition its portfolio from office and office/flex to a mix of office, office/flex and multi-family rental properties.

The Company believes that the opportunity to invest in multi-family development properties at higher returns on cost will position the Company to potentially produce higher levels of net operating income than if the Company were to only purchase stabilized multi-family properties at market returns.  The Company anticipates that it will be several years before its multi-family development projects are income-producing.  The long-term nature of the Company’s multi-family rental strategy coupled with the continued weakness in the Company’s core office markets and the disposition of income-producing, non-core office properties to fund the Company’s multi-family rental acquisitions, development and repositioning of certain office properties into multi-family rental/mixed use properties will likely result in declining net operating income and cash flows relative to historical returns. As the Company continues to execute its multi-family residential strategy, the Company believes that over the long-term its net operating income and cash flows will stabilize at levels less than historical or current returns.  The Company believes that the transition to a company with a greater proportion of its properties in the multi-family residential sector will ultimately result in the creation of greater shareholder value than remaining a primarily suburban commercial office company, in part due to the lower capitalization rates associated with the multi-family sector.

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

The Company has entered into (particularly in connection with the Roseland Transaction, as described below), and may continue in the future to enter into, joint ventures (including limited liability companies and partnerships) through which it would own an indirect economic interest of less than 100 percent of a property owned directly by such joint ventures, and may include joint ventures that the Company does not control or manage, especially in connection with its expansion into the multi-family rental sector. The decision to pursue property acquisitions either directly or through joint ventures is based on a variety of factors and considerations, including: (i) the economic and tax terms required by a seller or co-developer of a property; (ii) the Company’s desire to diversify its portfolio by expanding into the multi-family rental sector and achieve a blended portfolio of office and multi-family rental properties by market and sub-market; (iii) the Company’s goal of maintaining a strong balance sheet; and (iv) the Company’s expectation that, in some circumstances, it will be able to achieve higher returns on its invested capital or reduce its risk if a joint venture vehicle is used.  Investments in joint ventures are not limited to a specified percentage of the Company’s assets.  Each joint venture agreement is individually negotiated, and the Company’s ability to operate and/or dispose of its interests in a joint venture in its sole discretion may be limited to varying degrees depending on the terms of the joint venture agreement.  Many of the Company’s joint venture agreements entitle it to receive leasing, management, development and similar fees and/or a promoted interest if certain return thresholds are met.  See Note 4: Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures to the Company’s Financial Statements.

Development: The Company seeks to selectively develop additional properties either directly or through joint ventures where it believes such development will result in a favorable risk-adjusted return on investment in coordination with the above operating strategies.  The Company identifies development opportunities primarily through its local market presence.   Such development primarily will occur:  (i) in stable core Northeast sub-markets where the demand for such space exceeds available supply; and (ii) where the Company is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator.  As part of the Company’s strategy to expand its multi-family rental portfolio, the Company may consider development opportunities with respect to improved land with existing commercial uses and seek to rezone the sites for multi-family rental use and development. As a result of competitive market conditions for land suitable for development, the Company may be required to hold land prior to construction for extended periods while entitlements or rezoning is obtained. The Company also may undertake repositioning opportunities that may require the expenditure of significant amounts of capital.

Property Sales: While management’s principal intention is to own and operate its properties on a long-term basis, it periodically assesses the attributes of each of its properties, with a particular focus on the supply and demand fundamentals of the sub-markets in which they are located.  Based on these ongoing assessments, the Company may, from time to time, decide to sell any of its properties.  The Company continually reviews its portfolio and opportunities to divest properties that, among other things, no longer meet its long-term strategy, have reached their potential, are less efficient to operate, or can be sold at attractive prices when market conditions are favorable.

Financial
The Company currently intends to maintain a ratio of debt-to-undepreciated assets (total debt of the Company as a percentage of total undepreciated assets) of 50 percent or less, however there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining this ratio.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s total debt constituted approximately 39.9 percent and 36.7 percent of total undepreciated assets of the Company, respectively.  Although there is no limit in the Company’s organizational documents on the amount of indebtedness that the Company may incur, the Company has entered into certain financial agreements which contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness under certain circumstances.  The Company intends to utilize the most appropriate sources of capital for future acquisitions, development, capital improvements and other investments, which may include funds from operating activities, proceeds from property land sales, joint venture capital, and short-term and long-term borrowings (including draws on the Company’s revolving credit facility), and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately 635 full-time employees.

COMPETITION

The leasing of real estate is highly competitive.  The Properties compete for tenants and residents with lessors and developers of similar properties located in their respective markets primarily on the basis of location, the quality of properties, leasing terms (including rent and other charges and allowances for tenant improvements), services or amenities provided, the design and condition of the Properties, and reputation as an owner and operator of quality properties in the relevant markets.  Additionally, the number of competitive multi-family rental properties in a particular area could have a material effect on the Company’s ability to lease residential units and on rents charged.  In addition, other forms of multi-family rental properties or single family housing provide alternatives to potential residents of multi-family properties.  The Company competes with other entities, some of which may have significant resources or who may be willing to accept lower returns or pay higher prices than the Company in terms of acquisition and development opportunities.  The Company also experiences competition when attempting to acquire or dispose of real estate, including competition from domestic and foreign financial institutions, other REITs, life insurance companies, pension trusts, trust funds, partnerships, individual investors and others.

REGULATIONS

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

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

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

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

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

INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

The Company operates in three industry segments:  (i) commercial and other real estate, (ii) multi-family real estate, and (iii) multi-family services.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company does not have any foreign operations and its business is not seasonal.  Please see our financial statements attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein for financial information relating to our industry segments.

(b)
The acquisition cost consisted of $43,421,000 in cash consideration and future purchase price earn out payment obligations, subsequent to conditions related to a real estate tax appeal, recorded at fair value of $2,955,000 at closing.  $42,613,355 of the cash consideration was funded from funds held by a qualified intermediary, which were proceeds from the Company’s prior property sales.  The remaining cash consideration was funded primarily from available cash on hand.  $2,550,000 of the earn-out obligation amount was paid in January 2014, with the remaining balance still potentially payable in the future.
(c)
$12,701,925 of the acquisition cost was funded from funds held by a qualified intermediary, which were proceeds from the Company’s prior property sales.  The remaining acquisition cost was funded primarily from available cash on hand.

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

On October 23, 2012, as part of the Roseland Transaction, the Company had acquired a 26.25 percent interest in a to-be-built, 108-unit multi-family rental property located in Eastchester, New York (the “Eastchester Project”) for approximately $2.1 million.  The remaining interests in the development project-owning entity, 150 Main Street, L.L.C. (“Eastchester”) was owned 26.25 percent by JMP Eastchester, L.L.C. and 47.5 percent by Hudson Valley Land Holdings, L.L.C. (“HVLH”). The Eastchester Project began construction in late 2013.  Estimated total development costs of $46 million are expected to be funded with a $27.5 million construction loan and the balance of $18.5 million to be funded with member capital.

(a)  
The Company recognized a valuation allowance of $7.1 million on this property identified as held for sale at December 31, 2012.  In connection with the sale, the Company provided an interest-free note receivable to the buyer of $5 million (with a net present value of $3.7 million at closing) which matures in 2023 and requires monthly payments of principal.  See Note 5: Deferred charges, goodwill and other assets.
(b)  
The Company recorded an $8.4 million impairment charge on these properties at December 31, 2012.  The Company has retained a subordinated interest in these properties.
(c)  
The property was encumbered by a mortgage loan which was satisfied by the Company at the time of the sale.  The Company incurred $0.7 million in costs for the debt satisfaction, which was included in discontinued operations:  loss from early extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2013.
(d)  
In order to reduce the carrying value of five of the properties to their estimated fair market values, the Company recorded impairment charges of $23,851,000 at June 30, 2013.   The fair value used in the impairment charges was based on the purchase and sale agreement for the properties ultimately sold.
(e)  
The Company completed the sale of this office portfolio and three developable land parcels for approximately $233 million: $201 million in cash ($55.3 million of which was held by a qualified intermediary until such funds were used in acquisitions), a $10 million mortgage on one of the properties ($8 million of which was funded at closing) and subordinated equity interests in each of the properties being sold with capital accounts aggregating $22 million.  Net sale proceeds from the sale aggregated $207 million which was comprised of the $233 million gross sales price less the subordinated equity interests of $22 million and $4 million in closing costs.  The purchasers of the Pennsylvania office portfolio are joint ventures formed between the Company and affiliates of the Keystone Property Group (the “Keystone Affiliates”).  The mortgage loan has a term of two years with a one year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus six percent.  The Company's equity interests in the joint ventures will be subordinated to Keystone Affiliates receiving a 15 percent internal rate of return (“IRR”) after which the Company will receive a ten percent IRR on its subordinated equity and then all profit will be split equally.  In connection with these partial sale transactions, because the buyer receives a preferential return, the Company only recognized profit to the extent that they received net proceeds in excess of their entire carrying value of the properties, effectively reflecting their retained subordinate equity interest at zero.  As part of the transaction, the Company has rights to own, after zoning-approval-subdivision, land at the 150 Monument Road property located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, for a contemplated multi-family residential development. 
(f)  
This amount excludes approximately $535,000 of net closing prorations and related adjustments received from sellers at closing.
(g)  
This amount, net of impairment charges recorded in 2013 of $23,851,000 on certain of the properties prior to their sale (per Note [d] above), comprises the $59,520,000 of realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property and impairments, net, for the year ended December 31, 2013.  See Note 7: Discontinued Operations. 

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

The formation of the joint ventures and the completion of the sale of the properties to the joint ventures are subject to the Keystone Entities’ completion of due diligence by March 31, 2014, which may be extended for two 30-day periods, and normal and customary closing conditions.  The consummation of the transactions between the Company and the Keystone Entities also is subject to the waiver or non-exercise of certain rights of first offer with respect to 11 of the properties by certain affiliates of the Company and other third parties who are limited partners of the Company.   There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.

Impairments on Properties Held and Used
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded impairment charges of $110.9 million on 18 office properties. Nine of the 18 properties located in Roseland, Parsippany, Warren and Lyndhurst, New Jersey, aggregating approximately 1.3 million square feet, are collateral for mortgage loans scheduled to mature on August 11, 2014 and May 11, 2016, with principal balances totaling $160 million as of December 31, 2013.  Seven of the 18 properties located in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, Stamford, Connecticut and Elmsford, New York, aggregating 646,000 square feet are being considered for disposition (six of which are part of the Keystone Entities transaction described above).  Two of the 18 properties, located in Morris Plains and Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, aggregating approximately 550,000 square feet, are being considered for repositioning from office properties into multi-family rental properties.  The Company estimated that the carrying value of the 18 properties may not be recoverable over their anticipated holding periods. The impairments in 2013 resulted primarily from the recent decline in leasing activity and market rents of the properties identified.

Joint Venture Activity
On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with a fund advised by UBS Global Asset Management (“UBS”) to form Crystal House Apartments Investors LLC which acquired the 828-unit multi-family property known as Crystal House located in Arlington, Virginia (“Crystal House Property”) for approximately $262.5 million.  The Company acquired a 25 percent interest in the Crystal House property and a 50 percent interest in the vacant land for approximately $30.2 million.  The acquisition included vacant land to accommodate the development of approximately 295 additional units of which 252 are currently approved.

On April 23, 2013, the Company and JPM sold their interests in the Boston Downtown Crossing joint venture for $45 million, of which the Company’s share was $13.5 million.  The Company realized its share of the gain on the sale of $754,000 which was included in equity in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The venture previously recorded an impairment charge of approximately $69.5 million on its development project in 2008 (of which the Company’s share of the impairment charge was $10.0 million).

On December 9, 2013, the Company entered into a new joint venture with the Keystone Property Group and Parkway Corporation to form KPG-P 100 IMW JV, LLC.  The Company acquired a 33.33 percent indirect interest in KPG-IMW Owner, LLC, an entity that owns a nine-story, approximately 400,000 square-foot office building located at 100 Independence Mall West in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for $2.8 million.  The 100 IMW Property was acquired for approximately $40.5 million.  As part of a more than $20-million reinvestment strategy for 100 IMW Property, the partnership is planning upgrades to the building’s common areas, as well as build-out of offices and the conversion of approximately 55,000 square feet of lower-level space into a 110-stall parking garage that will be managed by Parkway Corporation.

On December 23, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with FB Capitol Place LLC to form Capitol Place Mezz LLC.  The Company acquired a 50 percent ownership interest in an entity that is developing a 377-unit multi-family complex that includes approximately 25,000 square feet of retail space and a 309-space underground parking garage, currently under construction, located at 701 2nd Street, NE in Washington, D.C. for approximately $46.5 million.  It is expected that the project will be completed by mid-2015. The venture expects to incur approximately $120.7 million in total estimated costs to complete the WDC Project, of which $38.5 million has been incurred through December 31, 2013.  The Company is not required to fund any additional costs (with some limitation) for the completion of the WDC Project beyond its $46.5 million initial contribution.  The joint venture includes specific provisions, including a right of first offer on all development deals in the D.C. metro area that involve either party, with specific qualifications on any properties in Arlington County, Virginia.

Operations
The Company’s core office markets continue to be weak.  The percentage leased in the Company’s consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating commercial properties was 86.1 percent at December 31, 2013, as compared to 87.2 percent at December 31, 2012 and 88.3 percent at December 31, 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 December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 aggregate 690,895, 378,901 and 193,213 square feet, respectively, or 2.5, 1.2 and 0.6 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively.  The Company believes that commercial vacancy rates may continue to increase in some of its markets through 2014 and possibly beyond.  As a result, the Company’s future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions.

The Company expects that the impact of the current state of the economy, including high unemployment, will continue to have a dampening effect on the fundamentals of its business, including lower occupancy and reduced effective rents at its commercial properties.  These conditions would negatively affect the Company’s future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

FINANCING ACTIVITY
On May 8, 2013, the Company completed the sale of $275 million face amount of 3.15 percent senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2023 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears.  The net proceeds from the issuance of approximately $266.5 million, after underwriting discount and offering expenses, were used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. 

On June 15, 2013, the Company repaid its $100 million face amount of 4.60 percent senior unsecured notes at their maturity using available cash.

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

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

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 and residents;
·  
the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis;
·  
the extent of any tenant bankruptcies or of any early lease terminations;
·  
our ability to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents;
·  
changes in the supply of and demand for our properties;
·  
changes in interest rate levels and volatility in the securities markets;
·  
changes in operating costs;
·  
our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts;
·  
the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt and our future interest expense;
·  
changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters; and
·  
other risks associated with the development and acquisition of properties, including risks that the development may not be completed on schedule, that the tenants or residents will not take occupancy or pay rent, or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated.

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

ITEM 1A.       RISK FACTORS

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

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

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

·  
significant job losses in the financial and professional services industries may occur, which may decrease demand for our office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted;
·  
our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt, reduce our returns from both our existing operations and our acquisition and development activities and increase our future interest expense;
·  
reduced values of our properties may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans;
·  
the value and liquidity of our short-term investments and cash deposits could be reduced as a result of a deterioration of the financial condition of the institutions that hold our cash deposits or the institutions or assets in which we have made short-term investments, the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments, increased volatility in market rates for such investments or other factors;
·  
reduced liquidity in debt markets and increased credit risk premiums for certain market participants may impair our ability to access capital; and
·  
one or more lenders under our line of credit could refuse or be unable to fund their financing commitment to us and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lenders on favorable terms, or at all.
 
 
 
11

 
 

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

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

·  
changes in the general economic climate and conditions;
·  
changes in local conditions, such as an oversupply of office space, a reduction in demand for office space, or reductions in office market rental rates;
·  
an oversupply or reduced demand for multi-family apartments caused by a decline in household formation, decline in employment or otherwise;
· decreased attractiveness of our properties to tenants and residents;
· competition from other office and office/flex and multi-family properties;
· development by competitors of competing multi-family communities;
· unwillingness of tenants to pay rent increases;
·  
rent control or rent stabilization laws, or other housing laws and regulations that could prevent us from raising multi-family rents to offset increases in operating costs;
· our inability to provide adequate maintenance;
·  
increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes, due to inflation and other factors which may not necessarily be offset by increased rents;
·  
changes in laws and regulations (including tax, environmental, zoning and building codes, landlord/tenant and other  housing laws and regulations) and agency or court interpretations of such laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance;
·  
changes in interest rate levels and the availability of financing;
·  
the inability of a significant number of tenants or residents to pay rent;
·  
our inability to rent office or multi-family rental space on favorable terms; and
·  
civil unrest, earthquakes, acts of terrorism and other natural disasters or acts of God that may result in uninsured losses.

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

Financially distressed tenants may be unable to pay rent: If a tenant defaults, we may experience delays and incur substantial costs in enforcing our rights as landlord and protecting our investments.  If a tenant files for bankruptcy, we cannot evict the tenant solely because of the bankruptcy and a potential court judgment rejecting and terminating such tenant’s lease (which would subject all future unpaid rent to a statutory cap) could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors as we may be unable to replace the defaulting tenant with a new tenant at a comparable rental rate without incurring significant expenses or a reduction in rental income.
 
 
 
12

 
 

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

Adverse developments concerning some of our major tenants and industry concentrations could have a negative impact on our revenue: Recent developments in the general economy and the global credit markets have had a significant adverse effect on many companies in numerous industries.  We have tenants concentrated in various industries that may be experiencing adverse effects of current economic conditions.  For instance, 14.5 percent of our revenue is derived from tenants in the Securities, Commodity Contracts and Other Financial industry, 9.6 percent from tenants in the Insurance Carriers and Related Activities industry and 7.8 percent from tenants in the Manufacturing industry.  Our business could be adversely affected if any of these industries suffered a downturn and/or these tenants or any other tenants became insolvent, declared bankruptcy or otherwise refused to pay rent in a timely manner or at all.

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

Illiquidity of real estate limits our ability to act quickly: Real estate investments are relatively illiquid.  Such illiquidity may limit our ability to react quickly in response to changes in economic and other conditions.  If we want to sell an investment, we might not be able to dispose of that investment in the time period we desire, and the sales price of that investment might not recoup or exceed the amount of our investment.  The prohibition in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and related regulations on a real estate investment trust holding property for sale also may restrict our ability to sell property.  In addition, we acquired a significant number of our properties from individuals to whom the Operating Partnership issued Units as part of the purchase price.  In connection with the acquisition of these properties, in order to preserve such individual’s income tax deferral, we contractually agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer the properties for a specified period of time, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate individuals for the income tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains.  As of December 31, 2013, seven of our properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $124.0 million, were subject to these restrictions which expire periodically through 2016.  For those properties where such restrictions have lapsed, we are generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the appropriate individuals.  121 of our properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.5 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.  The above limitations on our ability to sell our investments could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.
 
 
 
13

 
 

 
New acquisitions, including acquisitions of multi-family rental real estate may fail to perform as expected and will subject us to additional new risks: We intend to and may acquire new properties, primarily in the multi-family rental sector, assuming that we are able to obtain capital on favorable terms.  Such newly acquired properties may not perform as expected and may subject us to unknown liability with respect to liabilities relating to such properties for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination or claims by tenants, residents, vendors or other persons against the former owners of the properties.  Inaccurate assumptions regarding future rental or occupancy rates could result in overly optimistic estimates of future revenues.  In addition, future operating expenses or the costs necessary to bring an acquired property up to standards established for its intended market position may be underestimated. The search for and process of acquiring such properties will also require a substantial amount of management’s time and attention.  As our portfolio shifts from primarily commercial office properties to increasingly more multi-family rental properties we will face additional and new risks such as:

·  
shorter-term leases of one-year on average for multi-family rental communities, which allow residents to leave after the term of the lease without penalty;
·  
increased competition from other housing sources such as other multi-family rental communities, condominiums and single-family houses that are available for rent as well as for sale;
·  
dependency on the convenience and attractiveness of the communities or neighborhoods in which our multi-family rental properties are located and the quality of local schools and other amenities;
·  
dependency on the financial condition of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac which provide a major source of financing to the multi-family rental sector; and
·  
compliance with housing and other new regulations.

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

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

We face risks associated with property acquisitions: We have acquired in the past, and our long-term strategy is to continue to pursue the acquisition of properties and portfolios of properties in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and in the Northeast generally, and particularly residential properties, including large real estate portfolios that could increase our size and result in alterations to our capital structure.  We may be competing for investment opportunities with entities that have greater financial resources.  Several office building developers and real estate companies may compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition, land for development and prospective tenants. Such competition may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors by:
 
 
 
14

 
 

 
·  
reducing the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us;
·  
increasing the bargaining power of property owners;
·  
interfering with our ability to attract and retain tenants;
·  
increasing vacancies which lowers market rental rates and limits our ability to negotiate rental rates; and/or
·  
adversely affecting our ability to minimize expenses of operation.

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

·  
adequate financing to complete acquisitions may not be available on favorable terms or at all as a result of the continuing volatility in the financial and credit markets;
·  
even if we enter into an acquisition agreement for a property, we may be unable to complete that acquisition and risk the loss of certain non-refundable deposits and incurring certain other acquisition-related costs;
·  
the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be greater than our estimates;
·  
any acquisition agreement will likely contain conditions to closing, including completion of due diligence investigations to our satisfaction or other conditions that are not within our control, which may not be satisfied; and
·  
we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations, and acquired properties may fail to perform as expected; which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

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

·  
financing for development projects may not be available on favorable terms;
·  
long-term financing may not be available upon completion of construction;
·  
failure to complete construction and lease-up on schedule or within budget may increase debt service expense and construction and other costs; and
·  
failure to rent the development at all or at rent levels originally contemplated.

Property ownership through joint ventures could subject us to the contrary business objectives of our co-venturers: We, from time to time, invest in joint ventures or partnerships in which we do not hold a controlling interest in the assets underlying the entities in which we invest, including joint ventures in which (i) we own a direct interest in an entity which controls such assets, or (ii) we own a direct interest in an entity which owns indirect interests, through one or more intermediaries, of such assets.  These investments involve risks that do not exist with properties in which we own a controlling interest with respect to the underlying assets, including the possibility that (i) our co-venturers or partners may, at any time, become insolvent or otherwise refuse to make capital contributions when due, (ii) we may be responsible to our co-venturers or partners for indemnifiable losses, (iii) we may become liable with respect to guarantees of payment or performance by the joint ventures, (iv) we may become subject to buy-sell arrangements which could cause us to sell our interests or acquire our co-venturer’s or partner’s interests in a joint venture, or (v) our co-venturers or partners may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives.  Because we lack a controlling interest, our co-venturers or partners may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives.  While we seek protective rights against such contrary actions, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in procuring any such protective rights, or if procured, that the rights will be sufficient to fully protect us against contrary actions.  Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in joint ventures or partnerships.  If the objectives of our co-venturers or partners are inconsistent with ours, it may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors.

Our performance is subject to risks associated with repositioning a significant portion of the Company’s portfolio from office to multi-family rental properties.
 
 
 
15

 
 
 
Repositioning the Company’s office portfolio may result in impairment charges or less than expected returns on office properties: There can be no assurance that the Company, as it seeks to reposition a portion of its portfolio from office to the multi-family rental sector will be able to sell office properties and purchase multi-family rental properties at prices that in the aggregate are profitable for the Company or are efficient use of its capital or that would not result in a reduction of the Company’s cash flow. Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, it also may be difficult for the Company to promptly sell its office properties that are held or may be designated for sale promptly or on favorable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.  In addition, as the Company identifies non-core office properties that may be held for sale or that it intends to hold for a shorter period of time than previously, it may determine that the carrying value of a property is not recoverable over the anticipated holding period of the property.  As a result, the Company may incur impairment charges for certain of these properties to reduce their carrying values to the estimated fair market values.  See Note 3: Real Estate Transactions – Impairments on Properties Held and Used.  Moreover, as the Company seeks to reposition a portion of its portfolio from office to the multi-family rental sector, the Company may be subject to a Federal income tax on gain from sales of properties due to limitations in the Code and related regulations on a real estate investment trust’s ability to sell properties.  The Company intends to structure its property dispositions in a tax-efficient manner and avoid the prohibition in the Code against a real estate investment trust holding properties for sale.  There is no guaranty, however, that such dispositions can be achieved without the imposition of federal income tax on any gain recognized.

If costs of developing multi-family rental properties increase, we do not expect to achieve as high a return on our multi-family development properties with our historical or current returns in the commercial sector: Our current strategy involves disposing of non-core office and office/flex properties and redeploying the proceeds from those dispositions to acquire multi-family rental properties, including development projects. Although there has been widespread instability in capitalization rates in all real estate sectors since the credit market disruptions and economic slowdown in 2008, generally capitalization rates are higher in the office sector but more stable (and lower) in the multi-family residential sector.  The Company believes that the opportunity to invest in multi-family development properties at higher returns on cost will position the Company to potentially produce higher levels of net operating income than if the Company purchased a stabilized multi-family property at a lower anticipated return. However, if costs of developing a multi-family residential property increase, there could be less arbitrage between the costs to develop versus the price to purchase stabilized multi-family residential properties.  Consequently, the Company does not expect as high a return on its multi-family residential development properties as with our historical or current returns in the commercial sector.

Unfavorable changes in market and economic conditions could adversely affect multi-family rental occupancy, rental rates, operating expenses, and the overall market value of our assets, including joint ventures. Local conditions that may adversely affect conditions in multi-family residential markets include the following:

·  
plant closings, industry slowdowns and other factors that adversely affect the local economy;
·  
an oversupply of, or a reduced demand for, apartment units;
·  
a decline in household formation or employment or lack of employment growth;
·  
the inability or unwillingness of residents to pay rent increases;
·  
rent control or rent stabilization laws, or other laws regulating housing, that could prevent us from raising rents to offset increases in operating costs; and
·  
economic conditions that could cause an increase in our operating expenses, such as increases in property taxes, utilities, compensation of on-site associates and routine maintenance.

Changes in applicable laws, or noncompliance with applicable laws, could adversely affect our operations or expose us to liability: We must develop, construct and operate our communities in compliance with numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, some of which may conflict with one another or be subject to limited judicial or regulatory interpretations.  These laws and regulations may include zoning laws, building codes, landlord tenant laws and other laws generally applicable to business operations.  Noncompliance with applicable laws could expose us to liability.  Lower revenue growth or significant unanticipated expenditures may result from our need to comply with changes in (i) laws imposing remediation requirements and the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or the restrictions on discharges or other conditions, (ii) rent control or rent stabilization laws or other residential landlord/tenant laws, or (iii) other governmental rules and regulations or enforcement policies affecting the development, use and operation of our communities, including changes to building codes and fire and life-safety codes.
 
 
 
16

 
 

 
Failure to succeed in new markets, or with new brands and community formats, or in activities other than the development, ownership and operation of residential rental communities may have adverse consequences: We are actively engaged in development and acquisition activity in new submarkets within our core, Northeast markets where we have owned and operated our historical portfolio of office properties.  Our historical experience with properties in our core, Northeast markets in developing, owning and operating properties does not ensure that we will be able to operate successfully in the new multi-family submarkets.  We will be exposed to a variety of risks in the multi-family submarkets, including:

·  
an inability to accurately evaluate local apartment market conditions;
·  
an inability to obtain land for development or to identify appropriate acquisition opportunities;
·  
an acquired property may fail to perform as we expected in analyzing our investment;
·  
our estimate of the costs of repositioning or developing an acquired property may prove inaccurate; and
·  
lack of familiarity with local governmental and permitting procedures.

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

We face possible risks associated with the physical effects of climate change.
We cannot predict with certainty whether climate change is occurring and, if so, at what rate.  However, the physical effects of climate change could have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations and business.  For example, many of our properties are located along the East coast, particularly those in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.  To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our markets could experience increases in storm intensity and rising sea-levels.  Over time, these conditions could result in declining demand for office space in our buildings or the inability of us to operate the buildings at all.  Climate change may also have indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) property insurance on terms we find acceptable, increasing the cost of energy and increasing the cost of snow removal or related costs at our properties.  Proposed legislation to address climate change could increase utility and other costs of operating our properties which, if not offset by rising rental income, would reduce our net income.  There can be no assurance that climate change will not have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations or business.

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

·  
our cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest;
·  
payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to pay operating expenses;
·  
we may not be able to refinance indebtedness on our properties at maturity; and
·  
if refinanced, the terms of refinancing may not be as favorable as the original terms of the related indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2013, we had total outstanding indebtedness of $2.4 billion comprised of $1.6 billion of senior unsecured notes and approximately $746 million of mortgages, loans payable and other obligations.  We may have to refinance the principal due on our current or future indebtedness at maturity, and we may not be able to do so.

If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, events or conditions that may adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors include the following:
 
 
 
17

 
 

 
·  
we may need to dispose of one or more of our properties upon disadvantageous terms or adjust our capital expenditures in general or with respect to our strategy of acquiring multi-family residential properties and development opportunities in particular;
·  
prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing could increase interest rates and, therefore, our interest expense;
·  
we may be subject to an event of default pursuant to covenants for our indebtedness;
·  
if we mortgage property to secure payment of indebtedness and are unable to meet mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose upon such property or appoint a receiver to receive an assignment of our rents and leases; and
·  
foreclosures upon mortgaged property could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds and, therefore, hinder our ability to meet the real estate investment trust distribution requirements of the Code.

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

Rising interest rates may adversely affect our cash flow: As of December 31, 2013, outstanding borrowings of approximately $80.2 million of our mortgage indebtedness bear interest at variable rates.  We may incur additional indebtedness in the future that bears interest at variable rates.  Variable rate debt creates higher debt service requirements if market interest rates increase.  Higher debt service requirements could adversely affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors and/or cause us to default under certain debt covenants.

Our degree of leverage could adversely affect our cash flow: We fund acquisition opportunities and development partially through short-term borrowings (including our revolving credit facility), as well as from proceeds from property sales and undistributed cash.  We expect to refinance projects purchased with short-term debt either with long-term indebtedness or equity financing depending upon the economic conditions at the time of refinancing.  Our Board of Directors has a general policy of limiting the ratio of our indebtedness to total undepreciated assets (total debt as a percentage of total undepreciated assets) to 50 percent or less, although there is no limit in the Operating Partnership’s or our organizational documents on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur.  However, we have entered into certain financial agreements which contain financial and operating covenants that limit our ability under certain circumstances to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness.  The Board of Directors could alter or eliminate its current policy on borrowing at any time at its discretion.  If this policy were changed, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors and/or could cause an increased risk of default on our obligations.

We are dependent on external sources of capital for future growth: To qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code, we must distribute to our shareholders each year at least 90 percent of our net taxable income, excluding any net capital gain. Because of this distribution requirement, it is not likely that we will be able to fund all future capital needs, including for acquisitions and developments, from income from operations.  Therefore, we will have to rely on third-party sources of capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all.  Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including the market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings.  Moreover, additional equity offerings may result in substantial dilution of our shareholders’ interests, and additional debt financing may substantially increase our leverage.
 
 
 
18

 
 

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

We are dependent on our key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
We are dependent upon key personnel for strategic business direction and real estate experience.  While we believe that we could find replacements for these key personnel, loss of their services could adversely affect our operations.  We have entered into an employment agreement (including non-competition provisions) which provides for a continuous four-year employment term with Mitchell E. Hersh, our President and Chief Executive Officer.  We do not have key man life insurance for our key personnel.  In addition, as the Company seeks to reposition a portion of its portfolio from office to the multi-family rental sector, the Company may become increasingly dependent on non-executive personnel with residential development and leasing expertise to effectively execute the Company’s long-term strategy.

Certain provisions of Maryland law and our charter and bylaws could hinder, delay or prevent changes in control.
Certain provisions of Maryland law, our charter and our bylaws have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing transactions that involve an actual or threatened change in control.  These provisions include the following:

Classified Board of Directors: Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes with staggered terms of office of three years each.  The classification and staggered terms of office of our directors make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of our board of directors.  At least two annual meetings of stockholders, instead of one, generally would be required to affect a change in a majority of the board of directors.  At the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of shareholders, the Company intends to ask shareholders to consider and vote on a proposal that would de-classify the Board of Directors.

Removal of Directors: Under our charter, subject to the rights of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect one or more directors, a director may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders generally in the election of directors.  Neither the Maryland General Corporation Law nor our charter define the term “cause.”  As a result, removal for “cause” is subject to Maryland common law and to judicial interpretation and review in the context of the facts and circumstances of any particular situation.

Number of Directors, Board Vacancies, Terms of Office: We have, in our bylaws, elected to be subject to certain provisions of Maryland law which vest in the Board of Directors the exclusive right to determine the number of directors and the exclusive right, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, to fill vacancies on the board.  These provisions of Maryland law, which are applicable even if other provisions of Maryland law or the charter or bylaws provide to the contrary, also provide that any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred, rather than the next annual meeting of stockholders as would otherwise be the case, and until his or her successor is elected and qualifies.  We have, in our corporate governance principles, adopted a mandatory retirement age of 80 years old for directors.

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

Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Proposals: Our bylaws require advance written notice for stockholders to nominate persons for election as directors at, or to bring other business before, any meeting of stockholders.  This bylaw provision limits the ability of stockholders to make nominations of persons for election as directors or to introduce other proposals unless we are notified in a timely manner prior to the meeting.
 
 
 
19

 
 

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

Preferred Stock: Under our charter, our Board of Directors has authority to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and to establish the terms, preferences and rights of any such series of preferred stock, all without approval of our stockholders.  As a result, our Board of Directors may establish a series of preferred stock that could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control.

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

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

Maryland Business Combination Act: The Maryland Business Combination Act provides that unless exempted, a Maryland corporation may not engage in certain business combinations, including mergers, consolidations, share exchanges or, in circumstances specified in the statute, asset transfers, issuances or reclassifications of shares of stock and other specified transactions, with an “interested stockholder” or an affiliate of an interested stockholder, for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, and thereafter unless specified criteria are met.  An interested stockholder is generally a person owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, 10 percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the Maryland corporation.  Our board of directors has exempted from this statute business combinations between the Company and certain affiliated individuals and entities.  However, unless our board adopts other exemptions, the provisions of the Maryland Business Combination Act will be applicable to business combinations with other persons.

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

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

Consequences of failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust could adversely affect our financial condition.
Failure to maintain ownership limits could cause us to lose our qualification as a real estate investment trust: In order for us to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Code, not more than 50 percent in value of our outstanding stock may be actually and/or constructively owned by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities).  We have limited the ownership of our outstanding shares of our common stock by any single stockholder to 9.8 percent of the outstanding shares of our common stock.  Our Board of Directors could waive this restriction if they were satisfied, based upon the advice of tax counsel or otherwise, that such action would be in our best interests and would not affect our qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Code.  Common stock acquired or transferred in breach of the limitation may be redeemed by us for the lesser of the price paid and the average closing price for the 10 trading days immediately preceding redemption or sold at the direction of us.  We may elect to redeem such shares of common stock for Units, which are nontransferable except in very limited circumstances.  Any transfer of shares of common stock which, as a result of such transfer, causes us to be in violation of any ownership limit, will be deemed void.  Although we currently intend to continue to operate in a manner which will enable us to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our Board of Directors to revoke the election for us to qualify as a real estate investment trust.  Under our organizational documents, our Board of Directors can make such revocation without the consent of our stockholders.

In addition, the consent of the holders of at least 85 percent of the Operating Partnership’s partnership units is required: (i) to merge (or permit the merger of) us with another unrelated person, pursuant to a transaction in which the Operating Partnership is not the surviving entity; (ii) to dissolve, liquidate or wind up the Operating Partnership; or (iii) to convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the Operating Partnership’s assets.  As of February 26, 2014, as general partner, we own approximately 88.5 percent of the Operating Partnership’s outstanding common partnership units.

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

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

·  
we will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders;
·  
we will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any alternative minimum tax, if applicable; and
·  
unless we are entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we will not be permitted to qualify as a real estate investment trust for the four taxable years following the year during which we were disqualified.

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

Other tax liabilities: Even if we qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code, we are subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and, in some circumstances, certain other state and local taxes.  From time to time changes in state and local tax laws or regulations are enacted, which may result in an increase in our tax liability. A shortfall in tax revenues for states and municipalities in which we operate may lead to an increase in the frequency and amount of such increase.  These actions could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to federal, state and local income tax for income received in connection with certain non-customary services performed for tenants and/or third parties.

Risk of changes in the tax law applicable to real estate investment trusts: Since the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, we cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted.  Any such legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify our and the Operating Partnership’s tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect taxation of us, the Operating Partnership, and/or our investors.
 
 
 
21

 
 

 
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.
In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our tenants and business partners, including personally identifiable information of our tenants and employees, in our data centers and on our networks.  Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions.  Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, disrupt our operations, and damage our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.

Changes in market conditions could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
As with other publicly traded equity securities, the value of our common stock depends on various market conditions, which may change from time to time.  The market price of our common stock could change in ways that may or may not be related to our business, our industry or our operating performance and financial condition.  Among the market conditions that may affect the value of our common stock are the following:

·  
the extent of your interest in us;
·  
the general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of our equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate-based companies;
·  
our financial performance; and
·  
general stock and bond market conditions.

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

Footnotes to Property List (dollars in thousands except per square foot amounts):

(a)
Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future and leases expiring December 31, 2013 aggregating 690,895 square feet (representing 2.5 percent of the Company’s total net rentable square footage) for which no new leases were signed.
(b)
Total base rent for 2013, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which includes the effects of tenant concessions, such as free rent.  Substantially all of the commercial leases provide for annual base rents plus recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of and/or increases in real estate taxes and certain operating costs, as defined, and the pass through of charges for electrical usage.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, total escalations and recoveries from tenants were:  $63,114, or $3.34 per leased square foot, for office properties; $7,799, or $1.78 per leased square foot, for office/flex properties and $1,847, or $5.36 per leased square foot, for other properties.
(c)   Excludes space leased by the Company.
(d)
Base rent for 2013 divided by net rentable square feet leased at December 31, 2013.
(e)
Total base rent for 2013 minus total 2013 amortization of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other concessions and costs, determined in accordance with GAAP, divided by net rentable square feet leased at December 31, 2013.
(f)
This property is located on land leased by the Company.
(g)
As this property was acquired, commenced initial operations or initially consolidated by the Company during the 12 months ended December 31, 2013, the amounts represented in 2013 base rent reflect only that portion of the year during which the Company owned or consolidated the property. Accordingly, these amounts may not be indicative of the property’s full year results.  For comparison purposes, the amounts represented in 2013 average base rent per sq. ft. and per unit for this property have been calculated by taking 2013 base rent for such property and annualizing these partial-year results, dividing such annualized amounts by the net rentable square feet leased or occupied units at December 31, 2013. These annualized per square foot and per unit amounts may not be indicative of the property’s results had the Company owned or consolidated the property for the entirety of the 12 months ended December 31, 2013.
(h)
Acquired on December 19, 2013. Amounts reflect period of ownership.
(i)
Acquired on November 20, 2013. Amounts reflect period of ownership.
(j)
Acquired on January 18, 2013. Amounts reflect period of ownership.
(k)
Acquired on April 4, 2013. Amounts reflect period of ownership.
(l)
Annualized base rent for 2013 divided by units occupied at December 31, 2013, divided by 12.

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

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


Executive Overview

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation together with its subsidiaries, (the “Company”) is one of the largest real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the United States.  The Company has been involved in all aspects of commercial real estate development, management and ownership for over 60 years and has been a publicly-traded REIT since 1994.  The Company owns or has interests in 279 properties (collectively, the “Properties”) consisting of 267 commercial properties, primarily class A office and office/flex buildings, totaling approximately 31.0 million square feet, leased to approximately 2,000 commercial tenants and 12 multi-family rental properties containing over 3,600 residential units.  The Properties are located primarily in suburban markets of the Northeast, some with adjacent, Company-controlled developable land sites able to accommodate up to 8.4 million square feet of additional commercial space and up to 5,824 apartment units. 

The Company’s historical strategy has been to focus its operations, acquisition and development of office properties in high-barrier-to-entry markets and sub-markets where it believes it is, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator.  With changing work force demographics and reduced demand for suburban office properties in its current markets, the Company intends to leverage its experience and expertise in its core Northeast markets to aggressively pursue multi-family rental investments in those markets, both through acquisitions and developments, both wholly owned and through joint ventures.  This strategy includes selectively disposing of office and office/flex assets and re-deploying proceeds to multi-family rental properties, as well as the repositioning of a portion of its office properties and land held for development to multi-family rental properties.
 
As an owner of real estate, almost all of the Company’s earnings and cash flow is derived from rental revenue received pursuant to leased space at the Properties.  Key factors that affect the Company’s business and financial results include the following: 
   
· 
the general economic climate;
· 
the occupancy rates of the Properties;
· 
rental rates on new or renewed leases;
· 
tenant improvement and leasing costs incurred to obtain and retain tenants;
· 
the extent of early lease terminations;
· 
the value of our office properties and the cash flow from the sale of such properties;
· 
operating expenses;
· 
anticipated acquisition and development costs for multi-family rental properties and the revenues and earnings from these properties;
· 
cost of capital; and
· 
the extent of acquisitions, development and sales of real estate.
 
Any negative effects of the above key factors could potentially cause a deterioration in the Company’s revenue and/or earnings.  Such negative effects could include: (1) failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire; (2) failure to renew or execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases; and (3) tenant defaults. 
 
A failure to renew or execute new leases as current leases expire or to execute new leases with rental terms at or above the terms of in-place leases may be affected by several factors such as: (1) the local economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors; and (2) local real estate conditions, such as oversupply of the Company’s product types or competition within the market. 
 
The Company’s core office markets continue to be weak.  The percentage leased in the Company’s consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating commercial properties aggregating 28 million, 31 million and 31 million square feet at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively was 86.1 percent leased at December 31, 2013 as compared to 87.2 percent leased at December 31, 2012 and 88.3 percent leased at December 31, 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 December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 aggregate 690,895, 378,901 and 193,213 square feet, respectively, or 2.5, 1.2 and 0.6 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively.  Rental rates (including escalations) on the Company’s commercial space that was renewed (based on first rents payable) during the year ended December 31, 2013 (on 2,420,483 square feet of renewals) decreased an average of 7.1 percent compared to rates that were in effect under the prior leases, as compared to a 2.4 percent decrease in 2012 (on 2,221,503 square feet of renewals) and a 3.3 percent decrease in 2011 (on 2,592,017 square feet of renewals).  Estimated lease costs for the renewed leases in 2013 averaged $2.22 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 3.8 years, estimated lease costs for the renewed leases in 2012 averaged $2.06 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 4.0 years and estimated lease costs for the renewed leases in 2011 averaged $2.85 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 4.3 years.  The Company believes that commercial vacancy rates may continue to increase and commercial rental rates may continue to decline in some of its markets in 2014 and possibly beyond.  For example, two significant tenants, aggregating 780,971 square feet and approximately $17.8 million in annualized base rent, whose leases expire over the next 12 months are not renewing their leases.  As of December 31, 2013, commercial leases which comprise approximately 10.3 percent of the Company’s annualized base rent are scheduled to expire during the year ended December 31, 2014.  With the decline of rental rates in the Company’s office markets over the past few years, as leases expire in 2014, assuming no further changes in current market rental rates, the Company expects that the rental rates it is likely to achieve on new leases will generally be lower than the rates currently being paid, thereby resulting in less revenue from the same space.  As a result of the above factors, the Company’s future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions effecting its commercial portfolio. 
 
 
 
49

 
 

 
The Company expects that the impact of the current state of the economy, including high unemployment will continue to have a negative effect on the fundamentals of its business, including lower occupancy, reduced effective rents, and increases in defaults and past due accounts in respect of the Company’s commercial properties.  These conditions would negatively affect the Company’s future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.   

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

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;
·

(a)    The acquisition cost was funded primarily through borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.
(b)
The acquisition cost consisted of $43,421,000 in cash consideration and future purchase price earn out payment obligations, subsequent to conditions related to a real estate tax appeal, recorded at fair value of $2,955,000 at closing.  $42,613,355 of the cash consideration was funded from funds held by a qualified intermediary, which were proceeds from the Company’s prior property sales.  The remaining cash consideration was funded primarily from available cash on hand.  $2,550,000 of the earn-out obligation amount was paid in January 2014, with the remaining balance still potentially payable in the future.
(c)
$12,701,925 of the acquisition cost was funded from funds held by a qualified intermediary, which were proceeds from the Company’s prior property sales.  The remaining acquisition cost was funded primarily from available cash on hand.

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

On October 23, 2012, as part of the Roseland Transaction, the Company had acquired a 26.25 percent interest in a to-be-built, 108-unit multi-family rental property located in Eastchester, New York (the “Eastchester Project”) for approximately $2.1 million.  The remaining interests in the development project-owning entity, 150 Main Street, L.L.C. (“Eastchester”) was owned 26.25 percent by JMP Eastchester, L.L.C. and 47.5 percent by Hudson Valley Land Holdings, L.L.C. (“HVLH”). The Eastchester Project began construction in late 2013.  Estimated total development costs of $46 million are expected to be funded with a $27.5 million construction loan and the balance of $18.5 million to be funded with member capital.

(a)  
The Company recognized a valuation allowance of $7.1 million on this property identified as held for sale at December 31, 2012.  In connection with the sale, the Company provided an interest-free note receivable to the buyer of $5 million (with a net present value of $3.7 million at closing) which matures in 2023 and requires monthly payments of principal.  See Note 5: Deferred charges, goodwill and other assets.
(b)  
The Company recorded an $8.4 million impairment charge on these properties at December 31, 2012.  The Company has retained a subordinated interest in these properties.
(c)  
The property was encumbered by a mortgage loan which was satisfied by the Company at the time of the sale.  The Company incurred $0.7 million in costs for the debt satisfaction, which was included in discontinued operations:  loss from early extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2013.
(d)  
In order to reduce the carrying value of five of the properties to their estimated fair market values, the Company recorded impairment charges of $23,851,000 at June 30, 2013.  The fair value used in the impairment charges was based on the purchase and sale agreement for the properties ultimately sold.
(e)  
The Company completed the sale of this office portfolio and three developable land parcels for approximately $233 million: $201 million in cash ($55.3 million of which was held by a qualified intermediary until such funds were used in acquisitions), a $10 million mortgage on one of the properties ($8 million of which was funded at closing) and subordinated equity interests in each of the properties being sold with capital accounts aggregating $22 million.  Net sale proceeds from the sale aggregated $207 million which was comprised of the $233 million gross sales price less the subordinated equity interests of $22 million and $4 million in closing costs.  The purchasers of the Pennsylvania office portfolio are joint ventures formed between the Company and affiliates of the Keystone Property Group (the “Keystone Affiliates”).  The mortgage loan has a term of two years with a one year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus six percent.  The Company's equity interests in the joint ventures will be subordinated to Keystone Affiliates receiving a 15 percent internal rate of return (“IRR”) after which the Company will receive a ten percent IRR on its subordinated equity and then all profit will be split equally.  In connection with these partial sale transactions, because the buyer receives a preferential return, the Company only recognized profit to the extent that they received net proceeds in excess of their entire carrying value of the properties, effectively reflecting their retained subordinate equity interest at zero.  As part of the transaction, the Company has rights to own, after zoning-approval-subdivision, land at the 150 Monument Road property located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, for a contemplated multi-family residential development. 
(f)  
This amount excludes approximately $535,000 of net closing prorations and related adjustments received from sellers at closing.
(g)  
This amount, net of impairment charges recorded in 2013 of $23,851,000 on certain of the properties prior to their sale (per Note [d] above), comprises the $59,520,000 of realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property and impairments, net, for the year ended December 31, 2013.  See Note 7: Discontinued Operations. 

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

The formation of the joint ventures and the completion of the sale of the properties to the joint ventures are subject to the Keystone Entities’ completion of due diligence by March 31, 2014, which may be extended for two 30-day periods, and normal and customary closing conditions.  The consummation of the transactions between the Company and the Keystone Entities also is subject to the waiver or non-exercise of certain rights of first offer with respect to 11 of the properties by certain affiliates of the Company and other third parties who are limited partners of the Company.   There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.

Impairments on Properties Held and Used
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded impairment charges of $110.9 million on 18 office properties. Nine of the 18 properties located in Roseland, Parsippany, Warren and Lyndhurst, New Jersey, aggregating approximately 1.3 million square feet, are collateral for mortgage loans scheduled to mature on August 11, 2014 and May 11, 2016, with principal balances totaling $160 million as of December 31, 2013.  Seven of the 18 properties located in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, Stamford, Connecticut and Elmsford, New York, aggregating 646,000 square feet are being considered for disposition (six of which are part of the Keystone Entities transaction described above).  Two of the 18 properties, located in Morris Plains and Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, aggregating approximately 550,000 square feet, are being considered for repositioning from office properties into multi-family rental properties.  The Company estimated that the carrying value of the 18 properties may not be recoverable over their anticipated holding periods. The impairments in 2013 resulted primarily from the recent decline in leasing activity and market rents of the properties identified.

Joint Venture Activity
On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with a fund advised by UBS Global Asset Management (“UBS”) to form Crystal House Apartments Investors LLC which acquired the 828-unit multi-family property known as Crystal House located in Arlington, Virginia (“Crystal House Property”) for approximately $262.5 million.  The Company acquired a 25 percent interest in the Crystal House property and a 50 percent interest in the vacant land for approximately $30.2 million.  The acquisition included vacant land to accommodate the development of approximately 295 additional units of which 252 are currently approved.

On April 23, 2013, the Company and JPM sold their interests in the Boston Downtown Crossing joint venture for $45 million, of which the Company’s share was $13.5 million.  The Company realized its share of the gain on the sale of $754,000 which was included in equity in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The venture previously recorded an impairment charge of approximately $69.5 million on its development project in 2008 (of which the Company’s share of the impairment charge was $10.0 million).

On December 9, 2013, the Company entered into a new joint venture with the Keystone Property Group and Parkway Corporation to form KPG-P 100 IMW JV, LLC.  The Company acquired a 33.33 percent indirect interest in KPG-IMW Owner, LLC, an entity that owns a nine-story, approximately 400,000 square-foot office building located at 100 Independence Mall West in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $2.8 million.  The 100 IMW Property was acquired for approximately $40.5 million.  As part of a more than $20-million reinvestment strategy for 100 IMW Property, the partnership is planning upgrades to the building’s common areas, as well as build-out of offices and the conversion of approximately 55,000 square feet of lower-level space into a 110-stall parking garage that will be managed by Parkway Corporation.

On December 23, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with FB Capitol Place LLC to form Capitol Place Mezz LLC.  The Company acquired a 50 percent ownership interest in an entity that is developing a 377-unit multi-family complex that includes approximately 25,000 square feet of retail space and a 309-space underground parking garage, currently under construction, located at 701 2nd Street, NE in Washington, D.C. for approximately $46.5 million.  It is expected that the project will be completed by mid-2015.  The venture expects to incur approximately $120.7 million in total estimated costs to complete the WDC Project, of which $38.5 million has been incurred through December 31, 2013.  The Company is not required to fund any additional costs (with some limitation) for the completion of the WDC Project beyond its $46.5 million initial contribution.  The joint venture includes specific provisions, including a right of first offer on all development deals in the D.C. metro area that involve either party, with specific qualifications on any properties in Arlington County, Virginia.


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.  Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.  Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development.  Interest capitalized by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $12.9 million, $4.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively.  Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.  Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.

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

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

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

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

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

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant.  Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases.  In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions.  In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.  Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals.  The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.  The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.
 
 
 
54

 
 

 
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired.  In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment.  The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near-term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property.  A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.  The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions.  These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions.  The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property.  As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

Rental Property Held for Sale 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.

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

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

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired.  An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment.  The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs.  As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.  See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, as applicable.  Each of the Company’s segments consists of a reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized.  Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter and between annual tests, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be fully recoverable.  In its impairment tests of goodwill, management first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If based on this assessment, management determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount, then performing the additional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.  The Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2013 after management performed its impairment tests.


Revenue Recognition:
Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.  Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.

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

Escalations and recoveries from tenants are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements.  These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs.

Construction services revenue includes fees earned and reimbursements received by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients.  Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method.  Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of our estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts.  A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract.  This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates.

Real estate services revenue includes property management, development and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients.  Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.

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

Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.
 
 
 
56

 
 
 
 
 
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 $9.6 million, or 1.8 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to a decrease in occupancy and rental rates in 2013 as compared to 2012.  Escalations and recoveries from tenants for the Same-Store Properties decreased $2.7 million, or 3.6 percent, for 2013 over 2012, due primarily to lower recoveries from tenants in 2013 (as a result of lower occupancies and the re-set of base years on new or renewed leases) as well as reimbursing tenants for their share of the tax appeal proceeds received in the periods.  Parking income for the Same-Store Properties decreased $0.3 million, or 5.6 percent, due primarily to decreased usage in 2013 as compared to 2012.  Other income for the Same-Store Properties decreased $8.0 million, or 66.2 percent, due primarily to a decrease in lease breakage fees recognized in 2013 as compared to 2012.

Real estate taxes on the Same-Store Properties decreased $3.2 million, or 3.7 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012. The change in real estate taxes principally results from tax appeal proceeds, net of associated professional fees, increasing by approximately $3.2 million from 2012 to 2013.  Real estate taxes, without the effect of net tax appeal proceeds, did not increase significantly in 2013 compared to 2012.  Utilities for the Same-Store Properties increased $4.3 million, or 7.4 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to increased rates in 2013 as compared to 2012.  Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $6.4 million, or 6.6 percent, due primarily to an increase in snow removal costs of $3.1 million and in maintenance costs of $2.5 million for 2013 as compared to 2012.

Construction services revenue increased $2.1 million, or 15.4 percent, in 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to increased revenue from construction contracts in 2013.  Real estate services revenues (primarily reimbursement of property personnel costs) increased by $18.3 million, or 213.0 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to the full year effect of Roseland (which was acquired in 2012).

Direct construction costs increased $2.3 million, or 18.2 percent, in 2013 as compared to 2012, due primarily to increased costs from construction contracts in 2013.

Real estate services expenses increased $19.0 million, or 506.4 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012.  This increase was due primarily to compensation costs related to Roseland (which was acquired in late 2012).

General and administrative expenses was relatively unchanged for 2013 as compared to 2012.  Roseland general and administrative expenses increased by $8.2 million for 2013 as compared to 2012 due to the full year effect of Roseland (which was acquired in late 2012).  This was partially offset by transaction costs incurred of $5.8 million in 2012 in conjunction with the Roseland Transaction, and $1.4 million in costs related to the departure of one of the Company’s executive vice presidents in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $8.4 million, or 4.8 percent, for 2013 over 2012.  This increase was due primarily to an increase of $11.7 million for 2013 as compared to 2012 related to depreciation and amortization on assets from Roseland and the Acquired Properties, partially offset by assets becoming fully amortized in 2013.

The Company recorded $110.9 million in impairment charges in 2013 on 18 properties in order to reduce their carrying values to their estimated fair market values.

In 2012, the Company incurred impairment charges totaling $9.8 million, consisting of: (i) an impairment charge on other investments of $6.3 million in connection with a write-down of the Company’s development rights in an East Rutherford, New Jersey mixed use development project;  (ii) an impairment charge of approximately $3.0 million on one of its properties in Greenbelt, Maryland; and (iii) an impairment charge on another rental property investment of $0.5 million related to an office property in Newark, New Jersey.

Interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 1.4 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012.  This increase was primarily as a result of higher average debt balances in 2013, partially offset by higher capitalized interest in 2013, as a result of increased development activity in 2013.

Interest and other investment income increased $2.9 million for 2013 as compared to 2012.  This was primarily due to a benefit of $2.3 million in 2013 related to changes in the Roseland Transaction Earn-Out.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $6.4 million, or 156.9 percent, for 2013 as compared to 2012.  The decrease was due primarily to increased losses of $6.2 million from the joint venture interests acquired in the Roseland Transaction in late 2012 and a loss in 2013 of $2.6 million from the Crystal House Apartments venture (which was entered into in March 2013), partially offset by increased income of $1.1 million from the sale of the Boston Downtown Crossing venture for 2013 as compared to 2012.

In 2012, the Company recognized losses from early extinguishment of debt of $5.0 million compared to $156,000 in 2013.  The 2012 losses resulted primarily from approximately $4.4 million due to the early redemption of senior unsecured notes and approximately $0.5 million for the early repayment of a mortgage loan on the Company’s property in Woodbridge, New Jersey.  The 2013 amount was due to the partial early termination and extension of the Company’s revolving credit facility as a result of decreased participation of certain lenders in the facility.

Income from continuing operations decreased to a loss of $89.7 million in 2013 from income of $37.6 million in 2012.  The decrease of $127.3 million was due to the factors discussed above.

Net income available to common shareholders decreased by $55.8 million, or 136.4 percent, from income of $40.9 million in 2012 to a loss of $14.9 million in 2013.  The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in income from continuing operations of $127.3 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, an impairment charge of $23.9 million on discontinued operations in 2013, a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $10.1 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, an increase in noncontrolling interest in discontinued operations of approximately $7.4 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, realized gains on disposition of rental property of $2.3 million in 2012, and a loss on early extinguishment of debt on discontinued operations of $0.7 million in 2013.  These were partially offset by a realized gain on disposition of rental property of $83.4 million in 2013, a decrease in noncontrolling interest in Operating Partnership of $15.1 million for 2013 as compared to 2012, an impairment charge on discontinued operations of $8.4 million in 2012, an unrealized loss on disposition of rental property of $7.1 million in 2012 and an increase in noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint ventures of $1.9 million for 2013 as compared to 2012.

Base rents for the Same-Store Properties decreased $3.2 million, or 0.6 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 $9.2 million, or 11.0 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.  Parking income for the Same-Store Properties was relatively unchanged for 2012 as compared to 2011.  Other income for the Same-Store Properties increased $5.8 million, or 91.6 percent, 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 $7.3 million, or 9.3 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 $7.0 million, or 65.9 percent from 2011 to 2012.  Real estate taxes, without the effect of net tax appeal proceeds, did not increase significantly in 2012 compared to 2011.  Utilities for the Same-Store Properties decreased $8.2 million, or 12.4 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to lower rates in 2012 as compared to 2011.  Operating services for the Same-Store Properties decreased $5.3 million, or 5.1 percent, due primarily to a decrease in snow removal costs of $5.3 million in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Construction services revenue increased $1.5 million, or 12.4 percent, in 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to increased construction contracts in 2012.  Real estate services revenues increased by $3.6 million, or 70.2 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to the effects of Roseland in late 2012.

Direct construction costs increased $1.2 million, or 10.4 percent, in 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to increased construction contracts in 2012.

Real estate service salaries increased $2.7 million, or 251.7 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011, due primarily to a partial year of compensation costs related to Roseland acquired in 2012.

General and administrative expenses increased by $12.5 million, or 35.7 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011 due primarily to $5.8 million in transaction costs incurred in 2012 in connection with the Roseland Transaction and $3.2 million in costs incurred in 2012 for Roseland operations during the period subsequent to the Company’s acquisition.  Additionally, professional fees increased $1.1 million and salaries and related expenses increased $0.3 million for 2012 as compared to 2011.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.8 million, or 0.5 percent, for 2012 over 2011.  This decrease was due primarily to assets becoming fully amortized in 2012, partially offset by $0.2 million incurred in 2012 relating to a partial year of depreciation and amortization on assets related to Roseland.

In 2012, the Company incurred an impairment charge on other investments of $6.3 million in connection with a write-down of the Company’s development rights in an East Rutherford, New Jersey mixed use development project.  Additionally, in 2012 the Company incurred an impairment charge of approximately $3.0 million on one of its properties in Greenbelt, Maryland, and an impairment charge on another rental property investment of $0.5 million related to an office property in Newark, New Jersey.

Interest expense decreased $1.8 million, or 1.5 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011.  This decrease was primarily as a result of  lower average interest rates, partially offset by higher average debt balances.

Interest and other investment income was relatively unchanged for 2012 as compared to 2011.
 
 
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $2.1 million, or 102.2 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011.  The increase was due primarily to income of $3.1 million in 2012 from the Stamford SM LLC venture, which was entered into in February 2012, and increased income of $0.9 million in the Harborside South Pier venture due to higher occupancy and hotel events, partially offset by a loss of $1.8 million in 2012 from the joint venture interests acquired in the Roseland Transaction.

In 2012, the Company recognized losses from early extinguishment of debt of $5.0 million.  Of this amount, approximately $4.4 million was due to the early redemption of senior unsecured notes and approximately $0.5 million was due to the early repayment of a mortgage loan on the Company’s property in Woodbridge, New Jersey.

Income from continuing operations decreased to $37.6 million in 2012 from $59.5 million in 2011.  The decrease of $21.9 million was due to the factors discussed above.

Net income available to common shareholders decreased by $28.8 million, or 41.3 percent, from $69.7 million in 2011 to $40.9 million in 2012.  The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in income from continuing operations of $21.9 million for 2012 as compared to 2011, an impairment charge on discontinued operations of $8.4 million in 2012, an unrealized loss on disposition of rental property of $7.1 million in 2012 and a decrease noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint ventures of $0.1 million for 2012 as compared to 2011.  These were partially offset by a decrease in noncontrolling interest in Operating Partnership of $2.9 million for 2012 as compared to 2011, realized gains on disposition of rental property of $2.3 million in 2012, an increase in noncontrolling interest in discontinued operations of $1.8 million for 2012 as compared to 2011, and preferred stock dividends of $1.7 million paid in 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, other debt and equity financings, proceeds from the sale of properties and joint venture capital.

The Company believes that with the general downturn in the Company’s core Northeast markets in recent years, it is reasonably likely that vacancy rates in the office sector may continue to increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases at office properties may continue to decrease and tenant installation costs at office properties, including concessions, may continue to increase in most or all of its markets in 2014 and possibly beyond.  As a result of the potential negative effects on the Company’s revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space and the redeployment of capital from the sale of income-producing office properties to fund the Company’s expansion into the multi-family rental sector, the Company’s cash flow could be insufficient to cover increased tenant installation costs over the short-term.  If this situation were to occur, the Company expects that it would finance any shortfalls through borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt and equity financings.

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

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

Construction Projects:
In December 2011, the Company entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ironstate Development LLC (“Ironstate”) for the development of multi-family rental towers with associated parking and ancillary retail space on land owned by the Company at its Harborside complex in Jersey City, New Jersey (the “URL Harborside Project”).  The first phase of the project is expected to consist of a parking pedestal to support a high-rise tower of approximately 763 apartment units and is estimated to cost approximately $315 million, of which development costs of $9.4 million have been incurred through December 31, 2013.  The parties anticipate the first phase will be ready for occupancy by approximately the third quarter of 2016.  In October 2013, the first phase of the project was awarded up to $33 million in future tax credits (“URL Tax Credits”), subject to certain conditions, from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.  
 
Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company and Ironstate shall co-develop the URL Harborside Project with Ironstate responsible for obtaining all required development permits and approvals.  Major decisions with respect to the URL Harborside Project will require the consent of the Company and Ironstate.  The Company and Ironstate will have 85 and 15 percent interests, respectively, in the URL Harborside Project.  The Company will receive capital credit of $30 per approved developable square foot for its land, aggregating to approximately $20.3 million at December 31, 2013.  In addition to the capital credit it will receive for its land contribution, the Company currently expects that it will fund approximately $84 million of the development costs of the project (which is expected to be reduced by the effects of sales proceeds from the anticipated sale of the URL Tax Credits).
  
 
 
65

 
 
 
The Development Agreement is subject to obtaining required approvals and development financing as well as numerous customary undertakings, covenants, obligations and conditions.  The Company has the right to reasonably determine that any phase of the URL Harborside Project is not economically viable and may elect not to proceed, subject to certain conditions, with no further obligations to Ironstate other than reimbursement to Ironstate of all or a portion of the costs incurred by it to obtain any required approvals. 
 
In July 2012, the Company entered into a ground lease with Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. (“Wegmans”) at the Company’s undeveloped site located at Sylvan Way and Ridgedale Avenue in Hanover Township, New Jersey. Subject to receiving all necessary governmental approvals, Wegmans intends to construct a store of approximately 140,000 square feet on a finished pad to be delivered by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2014.  The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $15.7 million for the development of the site through the third quarter of 2015 (of which the Company has incurred $4.3 million through December 31, 2013). 

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

On October 23, 2012, as part of the Roseland Transaction, the Company had acquired a 26.25 percent interest in a to-be-built, 108-unit multi-family rental property located in Eastchester, New York (the “Eastchester Project”) for approximately $2.1 million.  The remaining interests in the development project-owning entity, 150 Main Street, L.L.C. (“Eastchester”) was owned 26.25 percent by JMP Eastchester, L.L.C. and 47.5 percent by Hudson Valley Land Holdings, L.L.C. (“HVLH”). The Eastchester Project began construction in late 2013.  Estimated total development costs of $46 million are expected to be funded with a $27.5 million construction loan and the balance of $18.5 million to be funded with member capital.

REIT Restrictions:
To maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code, the Company must make annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains.  Moreover, the Company intends to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders.  Based upon the most recently paid common stock dividend rate of $0.30 per common share, in the aggregate, such distributions would equal approximately $105.5 million ($119.8 million, including common units in the Operating Partnership, held by parties other than the Company) on an annualized basis.  However, any such distribution, whether for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, would be paid out of available cash, including borrowings and other sources, after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock dividends and distributions, and scheduled debt service on the Company’s debt.  If and to the extent the Company retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the Company will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.

Property Lock-Ups:
The Company may not dispose of or distribute certain of its properties, currently comprised of seven properties with an aggregate net book value of approximately $124.0 million, which were originally contributed by certain unrelated common unitholders of the Operating Partnership, without the express written consent of such common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate specific common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”).  The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property.  The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2016.  Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the specific common unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, a former director and current member of its Advisory Board), and the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, a former director and current member of its Advisory Board).  As of December 31, 2013, 121 of the Company’s properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.5 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.

Senior Unsecured Notes:
On May 8, 2013, the Company completed the sale of $275 million face amount of 3.15 percent senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2023 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears.  The net proceeds from the issuance of approximately $266.5 million, after underwriting discount and offering expenses, were used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

The terms of the Company’s senior unsecured notes (which totaled approximately $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2013) 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.

On June 15, 2013, the Company repaid its $100 million face amount of 4.60 percent senior unsecured notes at their maturity using available cash.
On February 18, 2014, the Company repaid its $200 million face amount of 5.125 percent senior unsecured notes at their maturity, using available cash and borrowing on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

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

The facility has a competitive bid feature, which allows the Company to solicit bids from lenders under the facility to borrow up to $300 million at interest rates less than those above.

The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness (60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization).  If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

The lending group for the credit facility consists of: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent; Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent; Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch; U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as documentation agents; Capital One, National Association; Citibank N.A.; Comerica Bank; PNC Bank, National Association; SunTrust Bank; The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD.; The Bank of New York Mellon; as managing agents; and Compass Bank; Branch Banking and Trust Company; TD Bank, N.A.; Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania; Mega International Commercial Bank Co., LTD.  New York Branch, as participants.

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

As of February 26, 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $70 million under its unsecured revolving credit facility.

Money Market Loan:
The Company entered into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to participate in a noncommitted money market loan program (“Money Market Loan”).  The Money Market Loan is an unsecured borrowing of up to $75 million arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank with maturities of 30 days or less.  The rate of interest on the Money Market Loan borrowing is set at the time of each borrowing.  As of December 31, 2013, 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.

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 February 26, 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $70 million under its unsecured revolving credit facility and no outstanding borrowings under the Money Market Loan.  The Company is reviewing various financing and refinancing options, including the purchase of its senior unsecured notes in privately-negotiated transactions, the issuance of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt, common and preferred stock, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt, some or all of which may be completed in 2014.  The Company currently anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the sale of office properties, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company’s capital and liquidity needs in the short term.  However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, due to current economic conditions or otherwise, or if capital needs to fund acquisition and development opportunities in the multi-family rental sector arise, the Company’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed in “REIT Restrictions” above may be adversely affected.

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.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company has a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139 million.   

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan:
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which 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 February 26, 2014.
 
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 $825 million of securities have been sold as of February 26, 2014 and $1.7 billion remains available for future issuances.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt:
The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally provide for recourse to the Company for customary matters such as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations. The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures.  Such debt has a total facility amount of $311.1 million of which the Company has agreed to guarantee up to $122.5 million.  As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of such debt totaled $89.6 million of which $53.7 million was guaranteed by the Company.   The Company has also posted a $4.6 million letter of credit in support of the Harborside South Pier joint venture, half of which is indemnified by Hyatt Corporation, the Company’s joint venture partner.

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are further discussed in Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures to the Financial Statements.

Interest payments assume LIBOR rate of 0.18 percent, which is the weighted average rate on its outstanding variable rate debt at December 31, 2013, plus the applicable spread.
 
 
In March 2014, the Company announced that its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and its Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary will be leaving the Company in the first quarter 2014. In connection with the departures, the Company estimates that it will be required to make cash payments of approximately $6.5 million. See Note 19: Subsequent Events – Departure of Executive Officers.

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.   
 
 
 
71

 
 
 
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 years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

Inflation

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

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,” “projected,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or comparable terminology.  Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate.  Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved.  Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Among the factors about which we have made assumptions are:

·  
risks and uncertainties affecting the general economic climate and conditions, which in turn may have a negative effect on the fundamentals of our business and the financial condition of our tenants;
·  
the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis;
·  
the extent of any tenant bankruptcies or of any early lease terminations;
·  
our ability to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents;
·  
changes in the supply of and demand for our properties;
·  
changes in interest rate levels and volatility in the securities markets;
·  
changes in operating costs;
·  
our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts;
·  
the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt and our future interest expense;
·  
changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters; and
·  
other risks associated with the development and acquisition of properties, including risks that the development may not be completed on schedule, that the tenants will not take occupancy or pay rent, or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated.

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


ITEM 7A.      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

Approximately $2.3 billion of the Company’s long-term debt as of December 31, 2013 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 December 31, 2013 ranged from LIBOR plus 175 basis points to LIBOR plus 350 basis points.  If market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, then the increase or decrease in interest costs on the Company’s variable rate debt would be approximately $802,000 annually and the increase or decrease in the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2013 would be approximately $87 million.

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

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the Report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, together with the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, as set forth in the index in Item 15: Exhibits and Financial Statements, are filed under this Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and are incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 9.          CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.


ITEM 9A.       CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

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

 
(1)
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
 
(2)
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

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

The Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on the criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992.  Based on our assessment and those criteria, the Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
 
 
74

 
 

 
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

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 fourth 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2)(i) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.  Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992.  The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A.  Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.  We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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

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

MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (square footage and apartment unit counts unaudited)

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION
Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a fully-integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) providing leasing, management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its properties and third parties.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned or had interests in 279 properties, consisting of 267 commercial properties, primarily class A office and office/flex properties, totaling approximately 31.0 million square feet, leased to approximately 2,000 commercial tenants, and 12 multi-family rental properties containing over 3,600 residential units, plus developable land (collectively, the “Properties”).  The Properties are comprised of 252 buildings, primarily office and office/flex buildings totaling approximately 30.5 million square feet (which include 22 buildings, primarily office buildings aggregating approximately 2.9 million square feet owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), six industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 387,400 square feet, 12 multi-family properties totaling 3,678 apartments (which include seven properties aggregating 2,597 apartments owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), five parking/retail properties totaling approximately 121,500 square feet (which include two buildings aggregating 81,500 square feet  owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests), one hotel (which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an investment interest) and three parcels of land leased to others.  The Properties are located in seven states, primarily in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.

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

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.  The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s investments in consolidated real estate joint ventures in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary have total real estate assets of $215.2 million and $198.3 million, respectively, mortgages of $81.9 million and $77.1 million, respectively, and other liabilities of $18.3 million and $16.5 million, respectively.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental
Property
Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized.  Acquisition–related costs are expensed as incurred.  Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development.  Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $4.4 million, $3.8 million and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Included in total rental property is construction, tenant improvement and development in-progress of $40.8 million and $107.6 million (for which  the amount as of December 31, 2012 included costs related to two properties placed in service during the year ended December 31, 2013) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.
 
 
 
83

 
 

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

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s rental properties held for use may be impaired.  In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment.  The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near-term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near-term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Company’s intent and ability to hold the property.  A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.  The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions.  These assumptions are generally based on management’s experience in its local real estate markets and the effects of current market conditions.  The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property.  As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved, and actual losses or impairments may be realized in the future.

Rental Property
 
Held for Sale 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. 
 
 
 
 
84

 
 
If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used.  A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. 
 
 
Investments in
Unconsolidated
Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.  The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.  The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Generally, the Company would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee.    If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.
 
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired.  An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment.  The Company’s estimates of value for each investment (particularly in real estate joint ventures) are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs.  As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.  See Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. 
 
  
Cash and Cash
 
Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
 
Deferred
Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was $3,172,000, $2,669,000 and $2,370,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. If a financing obligation is extinguished early, any unamortized deferred financing costs are written off and included in gains (loss) from early extinguishment of debt.  Such unamortized costs which were written off amounted to $156,000, $593,000 and zero for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
 

 
85

 


Deferred
Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with commercial leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization.  Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease.  Certain employees of the Company are compensated for providing leasing services to the Properties.  The portion of such compensation related to commercial leases, which is capitalized and amortized, approximated $4,223,000, $4,354,000 and $4,432,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
 
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, as applicable.  Each of the Company’s segments consists of a reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized.  Management performs an annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter and between annual tests, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be fully recoverable.  In its impairment tests of goodwill, management first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If based on this assessment, management determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount, then performing the additional two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.  The Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2013 after management performed its impairment tests.
 
 
Derivative
Instruments
The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract.  For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.
 
 
Revenue
Recognition
Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.  Unbilled rents receivable represents the cumulative amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases.  The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.
 
 
 
86

 
 

 
Escalations and recoveries from tenants are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements.  These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs.  See Note 14: Tenant Leases.

Construction services revenue includes fees earned and reimbursements received by the Company for providing construction management and general contractor services to clients.  Construction services revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method.  Using this method, profits are recorded on the basis of our estimates of the overall profit and percentage of completion of individual contracts.  A portion of the estimated profits is accrued based upon estimates of the percentage of completion of the construction contract.  This revenue recognition method involves inherent risks relating to profit and cost estimates.

Real estate services revenue includes property management, development and leasing commission fees and other services, and payroll and related costs reimbursed from clients.  Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (which are capitalized by such ventures) are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interests.

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

Other income includes income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations. 
 
 
Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts
Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances.  Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income. 
 
 
Income and
Other Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax (including alternative minimum tax) on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that the Company satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (determined by excluding any net capital gains) to its shareholders.  If and to the extent the Company retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the Company will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.  The Company has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”).  In general, a TRS of the Company may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated).  A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax.   The Company has conducted business through its TRS entities for certain property management, development, construction and other related services, as well as to hold a joint venture interest in a hotel and other matters.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a deferred tax asset with a balance of approximately $13.1 million which has been fully reserved for through a valuation allowance.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.
 
 
 
87

 
 

 

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 December 31, 2013, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are generally from the year 2009 forward.
 
 
Earnings
 
Per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”).  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS from continuing operations amount.  Shares whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions shall be considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted EPS as follows (i) if all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period (the events have occurred), those shares shall be included as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the grant, if later) or (ii) if all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of contingently issuable shares included in diluted EPS shall be based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period (for example, the number of shares that would be issuable based on current period earnings or period-end market price) and if the result would be dilutive. Those contingently issuable shares shall be included in the denominator of diluted EPS as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the grant, if later).
 
 
Dividends and
 
Distributions
Payable
The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2013 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (87,928,002 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (11,864,775 common units) for all such holders of record as of January 6, 2014 with respect to the fourth quarter 2013.  The fourth quarter 2013 common stock dividends and common unit distributions of $0.30 per common share and unit were approved by the Board of Directors on December 10, 2013.  The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on January 15, 2014.

The dividends and distributions payable at December 31, 2012 represents dividends payable to common shareholders (87,537,250 shares) and distributions payable to noncontrolling interest common unitholders of the Operating Partnership (12,141,836 common units) for all such holders of record as of January 4, 2013 with respect to the fourth quarter 2012.  The fourth 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 December 3, 2012.  The common stock dividends and common unit distributions payable were paid on January 11, 2013.

The Company has determined that the $1.50 dividend per common share paid during the year ended December 31, 2013 represented approximately 53 percent ordinary income, approximately 33 percent return of capital and approximately 14 percent capital gain to its stockholders; the $1.80 dividend per common share paid during the year ended December 31, 2012 represented approximately 75 percent ordinary income and approximately 25 percent return of capital to its stockholders; and the $1.80 dividend per common share paid during the year ended December 31, 2011 represented approximately 77 percent ordinary income and approximately 23 percent return of capital to its stockholders.

Costs Incurred
For Stock
 
Issuances
Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s stock issuances are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Stock
Compensation
The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.  These provisions require that the estimated fair value of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”), TSR-based Performance Shares and stock options (if any) at the grant date be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period.  The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $2,387,000, $3,642,000 and $4,123,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 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.  There was no difference in other comprehensive income to net income for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and no accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

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

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

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

In November 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) voted to issue a final standard that will change the criteria for determining which disposals are presented as discontinued operations. The revised definition of a discontinued operation will be “a component or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, together as a group in a single transaction,” and “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results.” The board agreed that a strategic shift includes “a disposal of (i) a separate major line of business, (ii) a separate major geographical area of operations, or (iii) a combination of parts of (i) or (ii) that make up a major part of an entity’s operations and financial results.” A business that, upon acquisition, qualifies as held for sale will also be a discontinued operation. The board also reaffirmed its decision to no longer preclude presentation as a discontinued operation if (a) there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal, or (b) there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations. The guidance may be applied prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups classified as held for sale after an effective date that is not yet determined. Public entities will be required to apply the guidance in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods.  The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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 rental community developer and manager based in Short Hills, New Jersey, and the Roseland Partners’ interests (the “Roseland Transaction”), principally through unconsolidated joint venture interests in various entities which, directly or indirectly, own or have rights with respect to various residential and/or commercial properties or vacant land (collectively, the “Roseland Assets”).

The Roseland Assets consisted primarily of interests in: six operating multi-family properties totaling 1,769 apartments, one condo-residential property totaling three units and four commercial properties totaling approximately 212,000 square feet; 13 in-process development projects, which included 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 land parcels 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, with the majority of the properties located in New Jersey. Certain of the entities which own the Roseland Assets are controlled by the Company upon acquisition and are therefore consolidated. However, many of the entities are not controlled by the Company and, therefore, are accounted for under the equity method as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures (see Note 4).

The total purchase price for accounting purposes of $115,602,000 includes cash paid of approximately $115,579,000 and the fair value of contingent consideration pursuant to an earn-out (“Earn Out”) agreement of approximately $10 million.

The Earn Out largely represents contingent consideration and requires the Company to pay Roseland Partners an aggregate maximum of $15.6 million.  The Earn Out is based on defined criteria, as follows: (i) the Roseland Assets component of up to $8.6 million for the completion of certain developments ($2.8 million), and the start of construction on others ($2.8 million), obtaining tax credits/grants on others ($3.0 million), all of which are payable over various periods of up to three years; and (ii) total return to shareholders (“TRS”) for up to an additional $7 million based on a TRS measured on a three year cumulative basis and on discrete years, both on an absolute basis and in comparison to a peer group.  Each of the Earn Out elements were separately valued as of the acquisition date with an aggregate fair value of contingent consideration of approximately $10 million (representing $6.3 million for the Roseland Assets and $3.7 million for the TRS component).  Prospectively, the Earn Out liability will be remeasured at fair value quarterly until the contingency has been resolved, with any changes in fair value representing a charge or benefit directly to earnings (with no adjustment to purchase accounting).

The measures of the contingent consideration were based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which ASU 820 refers to as Level 3 inputs.  In addition to an appropriate discount rate, the key assumption affecting the valuation for the Roseland Assets component was the probability of occurrence of the payment events under the relevant provisions (management assumed between 92 and 99 percent for completion/start criteria and 50 percent for the tax credit/grant criteria in its initial valuation).  The valuation of the TRS component includes assumptions for the risk-free rate and various other factors (i.e., stock price, dividend levels and volatility) for the Company and the relevant peer group, as defined in the Earn Out.

The purchase accounting for the Roseland Transaction resulted in goodwill of $2.9 million, which represented the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

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

The Company accounted for the Roseland Transaction using the purchase method of accounting.  As discussed in Note 2: Significant accounting policies, the Company utilized several sources in making estimates of fair value for purposes of allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The fair values of the investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and the noncontrolling interests in consolidated ventures were estimated upon acquisition by applying the income approach and a market approach.  These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASU 820. Key assumptions include: (i) a discount rate range of 10 percent to 15 percent, (ii) a terminal value based on a range of direct cap rates between 5 percent and 7.5 percent; and (iii) adjustments because of the lack of control or lack of marketability that market participants would consider when estimating the fair value of the unconsolidated joint ventures and the noncontrolling interests in consolidated ventures.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, included in general and administrative expense was approximately
$5.8 million of transaction costs related to the Roseland Transaction.

As a result of the achievement of certain of the defined criteria, the Company paid Roseland Partners $2.8 million of
the Earn Out on January 25, 2013.

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

On October 23, 2012, as part of the Roseland Transaction, the Company had acquired a 26.25 percent interest in a to-be-built, 108-unit multi-family rental property located in Eastchester, New York (the “Eastchester Project”) for approximately $2.1 million.  The remaining interests in the development project-owning entity, 150 Main Street, L.L.C. (“Eastchester”) was owned 26.25 percent by JMP Eastchester, L.L.C. and 47.5 percent by Hudson Valley Land Holdings, L.L.C. (“HVLH”).  The Eastchester Project began construction in late 2013.  Estimated total development costs of $46 million are expected to be funded with a $27.5 million construction loan and the balance of $18.5 million to be funded with member capital.

(a)  
The Company recognized a valuation allowance of $7.1 million on this property identified as held for sale at December 31, 2012.  In connection with the sale, the Company provided an interest-free note receivable to the buyer of $5 million (with a net present value of $3.7 million at closing) which matures in 2023 and requires monthly payments of principal.  See Note 5: Deferred charges, goodwill and other assets.
(b)  
The Company recorded an $8.4 million impairment charge on these properties at December 31, 2012.  The Company has retained a subordinated interest in these properties.
(c)  
The property was encumbered by a mortgage loan which was satisfied by the Company at the time of the sale.  The Company incurred $0.7 million in costs for the debt satisfaction, which was included in discontinued operations:  loss from early extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2013.
(d)  
In order to reduce the carrying value of five of the properties to their estimated fair market values, the Company recorded impairment charges of $23,851,000 at June 30, 2013.   The fair value used in the impairment charges was based on the purchase and sale agreement for the properties ultimately sold.
(e)  
The Company completed the sale of this office portfolio and three developable land parcels for approximately $233 million: $201 million in cash ($55.3 million of which was held by a qualified intermediary until such funds were used in acquisitions), a $10 million mortgage on one of the properties ($8 million of which was funded at closing) and subordinated equity interests in each of the properties being sold with capital accounts aggregating $22 million.  Net sale proceeds from the sale aggregated $207 million which was comprised of the $233 million gross sales price less the subordinated equity interests of $22 million and $4 million in closing costs.  The purchasers of the Pennsylvania office portfolio are joint ventures formed between the Company and affiliates of the Keystone Property Group (the “Keystone Affiliates”).  The mortgage loan has a term of two years with a one year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus six percent.  The Company's equity interests in the joint ventures will be subordinated to Keystone Affiliates receiving a 15 percent internal rate of return (“IRR”) after which the Company will receive a ten percent IRR on its subordinated equity and then all profit will be split equally.  In connection with these partial sale transactions, because the buyer receives a preferential return, the Company only recognized profit to the extent that they received net proceeds in excess of their entire carrying value of the properties, effectively reflecting their retained subordinate equity interest at zero.  As part of the transaction, the Company has rights to own, after zoning-approval-subdivision, land at the 150 Monument Road property located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, for a contemplated multi-family residential development.
(f)  
This amount excludes approximately $535,000 of net closing prorations and related adjustments received from sellers at closing.
(g)  
This amount, net of impairment charges recorded in 2013 of $23,851,000 on certain of the properties prior to their sale (per Note [d] above), comprises the $59,520,000 of realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property and impairments, net, for the year ended December 31, 2013.  See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

(c)
Also included in realized gains(loss) for the year ended December 31, 2012, was a $4.5 million gain recorded on the disposal of the office property located at 2200 Renaissance Boulevard.  This office property, aggregating 174,124 square feet, was collateral for a $16.2 million mortgage loan scheduled to mature on December 1, 2012.  The Company previously 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, which resulted in recording the gain.

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

The formation of the joint ventures and the completion of the sale of the properties to the joint ventures are subject to the Keystone Entities’ completion of due diligence by March 31, 2014, which may be extended for two 30-day periods, and normal and customary closing conditions.  The consummation of the transactions between the Company and the Keystone Entities also is subject to the waiver or non-exercise of certain rights of first offer with respect to 11 of the properties by certain affiliates of the Company and other third parties who are limited partners of the Company.  There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.

Impairments on Properties Held and Used
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded impairment charges of $110.9 million on 18 office properties.  Nine of the 18 properties located in Roseland, Parsippany, Warren and Lyndhurst, New Jersey, aggregating approximately 1.3 million square feet, are collateral for mortgage loans scheduled to mature on August 11, 2014 and May 11, 2016, with principal balances totaling $160 million as of December 31, 2013.  Seven of the 18 properties located in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, Stamford, Connecticut and Elmsford, New York, aggregating 646,000 square feet, are being considered for disposition (six of which are part of the Keystone Entities transaction described above).  Two of the 18 properties, located in Morris Plains and Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, aggregating approximately 550,000 square feet, are being considered for repositioning from office properties into multi-family rental properties.  The Company estimated that the carrying value of the 18 properties may not be recoverable over their anticipated holding periods.  The impairments in 2013 resulted primarily from the recent decline in leasing activity and market rents of the properties identified.

At December 31, 2012, in light of discussions to dispose of its interest, the Company determined that certain rights to participate in a future development venture, which related to a mixed use development project in East Rutherford, New Jersey, were not expected to be recovered from estimated net proceeds from its eventual disposition. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $6.3 million, to reduce the carrying value from $11.9 million to the estimated recoverable amount of $5.6 million at December 31, 2012. These rights are included in deferred charges, goodwill and other assets, as of December 31, 2012. The Company also recorded an impairment charge on another rental property investment of $0.5 million related to an office property in Newark, New Jersey.

The Company’s office property located at 9200 Edmonston Road in Greenbelt, Maryland, aggregating 38,690 square feet, is collateral for a mortgage loan scheduled to mature on May 1, 2013 with a balance of $4.3 million at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, the Company estimated that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable over its anticipated holding period. In order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair market value, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million at December 31, 2012.

The Company’s estimated fair values for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were derived utilizing a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model including all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period.  These cash flows were comprised of inputs which included contractual revenues and forecasted revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth.  The capitalization rate of 8.5 percent and nine percent for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and discount rates ranging from 10 percent to 15 percent for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, utilized in DCF were based upon the risk profile of the properties’ cash flows and observable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for each respective property.  Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation of these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

4.    INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $181.1 million in its equity method joint ventures.  The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties, or acquired interests in them, to develop or manage primarily office and multi-family rental properties, or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office and multi-family rental properties.  As of December 31, 2013, the unconsolidated joint ventures owned: 21 office and two retail properties aggregating approximately 2.6 million square feet, seven multi-family properties totaling 2,597 apartments, a 350-room hotel, a senior mezzanine loan position in the capital stack of a 1.7 million square foot commercial property; development projects for up to approximately 2,976 apartments; and interests and/or rights to developable land parcels able to accommodate up to 3,708 apartments and 1.2 million square feet of office space.  The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 7.5 percent to 80 percent subject to specified priority allocations in certain of the joint ventures.

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity in earnings) are based on the historical financial information of the individual joint ventures.  The Company does not record losses of the joint ventures in excess of its investment balances unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the joint venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the joint venture.  The outside basis portion of the Company’s joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Unless otherwise noted below, the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentations.  The Company had $523,000 and $370,000 in accounts receivable due from its unconsolidated joint ventures as of December 31, 2013 and  2012.

Included in the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of December 31, 2013 are six unconsolidated development joint ventures, which are VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These joint ventures are primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional financial support.  The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period.  The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs based on the fact that the Company has shared control of these entities along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have controlling financial interests in these VIEs.  The Company’s aggregate investment in these VIEs was approximately $10.2 million as of December 31, 2013.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is estimated to be approximately $16.8 million, which includes the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments of approximately $6.6 million.  The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide. In general, future costs of development not financed through third party will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and its outside partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

9.    UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

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

The facility has a competitive bid feature, which allows the Company to solicit bids from lenders under the facility to borrow up to $300 million at interest rates less than those above.

The terms of the unsecured facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties (to the extent that: (i) such property dispositions cause the Company to default on any of the financial ratios of the facility described below, or (ii) the property dispositions are completed while the Company is under an event of default under the facility, unless, under certain circumstances, such disposition is being carried out to cure such default), and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum leverage ratio (60 percent), the maximum amount of secured indebtedness (40 percent), the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage (1.5 times), the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness (60 percent), the minimum amount of unencumbered property interest coverage (2.0 times) and certain investment limitations (generally 15 percent of total capitalization).  If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

The lending group for the credit facility consists of: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent; Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent; Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch; U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as documentation agents; Capital One, National Association; Citibank N.A.; Comerica Bank; PNC Bank, National Association; SunTrust Bank; The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD.; The Bank of New York Mellon; as managing agents; and Compass Bank; Branch Banking and Trust Company; TD Bank, N.A.; Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania; Mega International Commercial Bank Co., LTD.  New York Branch, as participants.

As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility.

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

MONEY MARKET LOAN

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

Employees of the Company, who meet certain minimum age and service requirements, are eligible to participate in the Mack-Cali Realty Corporation 401(k) Savings/Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”).  Eligible employees may elect to defer from one percent up to 60 percent of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis to the 401(k) Plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law.  The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable.  The Company may make discretionary matching or profit sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible participants in any plan year.  Participants are always 100 percent vested in their pre-tax contributions and will begin vesting in any matching or profit sharing contributions made on their behalf after two years of service with the Company at a rate of 20 percent per year, becoming 100 percent vested after a total of six years of service with the Company.  All contributions are allocated as a percentage of compensation of the eligible participants for the Plan year.  The assets of the 401(k) Plan are held in trust and a separate account is established for each participant.  A participant may receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance in the 401(k) Plan in a single sum or in installment payments upon his or her termination of service with the Company.  The 401(k) Plan was recently amended to provide for employees of the Roseland Business to receive matching contributions.  Total expense recognized by the Company for the 401(k) Plan for the three years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $117,000, $7,000 and zero, respectively.

On September 12, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved multi-year deferred retirement compensation agreements for those executive officers in place on such date (the “Deferred Retirement Compensation Agreements”).  Pursuant to the Deferred Retirement Compensation Agreements, the Company will make annual contributions of stock units (“Stock Units”) representing shares of the Company’s common stock on January 1 of each year from 2013 through 2017 into a deferred compensation account maintained on behalf of each Messrs. Hersh, Lefkowitz and Thomas.  The annual contribution for Messrs. Hersh, Lefkowitz and Thomas shall be in an amount of Stock Units equal to $500,000, $160,000 and $100,000, respectively.  The Company granted 25,333 Stock Units in the year ended December 31, 2013.  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.  A total of 26,814 Stock Units, including 1,481 additional Stock Units on accrued dividends, vested on December 31, 2013.  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.  Total expense recognized by the Company under the Deferred Retirement Compensation Agreements for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $595,000. 


12.  DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments at December 31, 2013 and 2012.  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 December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, consisting of senior unsecured notes and mortgages, loans payable and other obligations aggregated approximately $2,407,802,000 and $2,387,732,000 as compared to the book value of approximately $2,362,766,000 and $2,204,389,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is categorized as a level 3 basis (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.  The fair value of the mortgage debt and the unsecured notes was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.  Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2013 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

13.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS
Pursuant to agreements with certain municipalities, the Company is required to make payments in lieu of property taxes (“PILOT”) on certain of its properties located in Jersey City and has a tax abatement agreement with Weehawken, New Jersey, as follows:

The Harborside Plaza 4-A agreement with the City of Jersey City, as amended, which commenced in 2002, is for a term of 20 years.  The annual PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs, as defined.  Total Project Costs are $49.5 million.  The PILOT totaled $990,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Harborside Plaza 5 agreement, also with the City of Jersey City, as amended, which commenced in 2002, is for a term of 20 years.  The annual PILOT is equal to two percent of Total Project Costs, as defined.  Total Project Costs are $170.9 million.  The PILOT totaled $3.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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

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

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

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

ROSELAND CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
On October 23, 2012, the Company acquired the real estate development and management businesses (the “Roseland Business”) of Roseland Partners, L.L.C. (“Roseland Partners”), a premier multi-family rental community developer and manager based in Short Hills, New Jersey, and the Roseland Partners’ interests (the “Roseland Transaction”), principally through unconsolidated joint venture interests in various entities which, directly or indirectly, own or have rights with respect to various multi-family rental, commercial properties and vacant land (collectively, the “Roseland Assets”).

The purchase price for the Roseland Transaction included the fair value of contingent consideration pursuant to an earn-out (“Earn Out”) agreement of approximately $10 million.  The Earn Out largely represents contingent consideration and requires the Company to pay Roseland Partners up to an aggregate maximum of $15.6 million.  The Earn Out is based on defined criteria, as follows: (i) the Roseland Assets component of up to $8.6 million for the completion of certain developments ($2.8 million), and the start of construction on others ($2.8 million), obtaining tax credits/grants on others ($3.0 million), all of which are payable over various periods of up to three years; and (ii) total return to shareholders for up to an additional $7 million, based on a total return to shareholders measured on a three year cumulative basis and on discrete years, both on an absolute basis and in comparison to a peer group.  Each of the Earn Out elements were separately valued as of the acquisition date with an aggregate fair value of contingent consideration of approximately $10 million (representing $6.3 million for the Roseland Assets and $3.7 million for the total return to shareholders component).  During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized benefits totaling $2.3 million related to declines in fair value in the Earn Out liability, which is included in Interest and other investment income for the period.  Prospectively, the Earn Out liability will be remeasured at fair value quarterly until the contingency has been resolved, with any changes in fair value representing a charge or benefit directly to earnings (with no adjustment to purchase accounting).  As a result of the achievement of certain of the defined criteria, the Company paid Roseland Partners $2.8 million related to the Roseland Assets component of the Earn Out on January 25, 2013.

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

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 $124.0 million, which were originally contributed by certain unrelated common unitholders, without the express written consent of such common unitholders, as applicable, except in a manner which does not result in recognition of any built-in-gain (which may result in an income tax liability) or which reimburses the appropriate specific common unitholders for the tax consequences of the recognition of such built-in-gains (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”).  The aforementioned restrictions do not apply in the event that the Company sells all of its properties or in connection with a sale transaction which the Company’s Board of Directors determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy a material monetary default on any unsecured debt, judgment or liability of the Company or to cure any material monetary default on any mortgage secured by a property.  The Property Lock-Ups expire periodically through 2016.  Upon the expiration of the Property Lock-Ups, the Company is generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any sale, transfer or other disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to the specific common unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; David S. Mack, director; Earle I. Mack, a former director; and Mitchell E. Hersh, president, chief executive officer and director), the Robert Martin Group (which includes Robert F. Weinberg, a former director and current member of its Advisory Board), and the Cali Group (which includes John R. Cali, a former director and current member of its Advisory Board).  121 of the Company’s properties, with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.5 billion, have lapsed restrictions and are subject to these conditions.

In December 2011, the Company entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ironstate Development LLC (“Ironstate”) for the development of multi-family rental towers with associated parking and ancillary retail space on land owned by the Company at its Harborside complex in Jersey City, New Jersey (the “URL Harborside Project”).  The first phase of the project is expected to consist of a parking pedestal to support a high-rise tower of approximately 763 apartment units and is estimated to cost approximately $315 million, of which development costs of $9.4 million have been incurred through December 31, 2013.  The parties anticipate the first phase will be ready for occupancy by approximately the third quarter of 2016.   In October 2013, the first phase of the project was awarded up to $33 million in future tax credits (“URL Tax Credits”), subject to certain conditions, from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.

Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company and Ironstate shall co-develop the URL Harborside Project with Ironstate responsible for obtaining all required development permits and approvals.  Major decisions with respect to the URL Harborside Project will require the consent of the Company and Ironstate.  The Company and Ironstate will have 85 and 15 percent interests, respectively, in the URL Harborside Project.  The Company will receive capital credit of $30 per approved developable square foot for its land aggregating to approximately $20.3 million at December 31, 2013.  In addition to the capital credit it will receive for its land contribution, the Company currently expects that it will fund approximately $84 million of the development costs of the project (which is expected to be reduced to the effects of sales proceeds from the anticipated sale of the URL Tax Credits).

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

In July 2012, the Company entered into a ground lease with Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. (“Wegmans”) at the Company’s undeveloped site located at Sylvan Way and Ridgedale Avenue in Hanover Township, New Jersey. Subject to receiving all necessary governmental approvals, Wegmans intends to construct a store of approximately 140,000 square feet on a finished pad to be delivered by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2014.  The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $15.7 million for the development of the site through the third quarter of 2015 (of which the Company has incurred $4.3 million through December 31, 2013).


14.  TENANT LEASES

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

Future minimum rentals to be received under non-cancelable commercial operating leases at December 31, 2013 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

15.  MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

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

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 Series C 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.  The Company has purchased and retired 394,625 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $11 million through December 31, 2013 (none of which has occurred in the year ended December 31, 2013), with a remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program of $139 million.
 
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which 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 2013, the Company established the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”) under which a total of 4,600,000 shares have been reserved for issuance.  In May 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”) under which a total of 2,500,000 shares had been reserved for issuance.  The 2004 Plan was terminated upon establishment of the 2013 Plan.  No options have been granted through December 31, 2013 under the 2013 Plan or the 2004 Plan.  In September 2000, the Company established the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (“2000 Employee Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2000 Director Stock Option Plan (“2000 Director Plan” and together with the 2000 Employee Plan, the “2000 Plans”).  In May 2002, shareholders of the Company approved amendments to both of the 2000 Plans to increase the total shares reserved for issuance under both of the 2000 Plans from 2,700,000 to 4,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 shares under the 2000 Employee Plan and from 200,000 to 350,000 shares under the 2000 Director Plan).  As the 2000 Plans expired in 2010, stock options may no longer be issued under those plans.  Stock options granted under the 2000 Employee Plan became exercisable over a five-year period.  All stock options granted under the 2000 Director Plan became exercisable in one year.  All options were granted at the fair market value at the dates of grant and have terms of ten years.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the stock options outstanding, which were all exercisable, had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 0.7 and 0.1 years, respectively.

The Company recognized no stock options expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
The Company has issued stock awards (“Restricted Stock Awards”) to officers, certain other employees, and nonemployee members of the Board of Directors of the Company, which allow the holders to each receive a certain amount of shares of the Company’s common stock generally over a one to seven-year vesting period, of which 409,294 unvested shares were legally outstanding at December 31, 2013.  Of the Restricted Stock Awards issued to executive officers and senior management, 319,667 are contingent upon the Company meeting certain performance goals to be set by the Executive Compensation and Option Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company each year (“Performance Shares”), with the remaining based on time and service. These Performance Shares are not considered granted until the performance goals are set.  All currently outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers and certain other employees were issued under the 2013 Plan and 2004 Plan.  Currently outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to directors were issued under the 2013 Plan and 2004 Plan.

On September 12, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the recommendations and ratified the determinations of the Executive Compensation and Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) with respect to new Restricted Stock Awards totaling 319,667 shares for those executive officers in place on such date.  The new Restricted Stock Awards may vest commencing January 1, 2014 and with the number of Restricted Stock Awards scheduled to be vested and earned on each vesting date on an annual basis over a five to seven year vesting schedule, with each annual vesting of each tranche of Restricted Stock Awards being subject to the attainment of annual performance targets to be set by the Committee for each year.  As the Committee determined that the performance targets for the year ended December 31, 2013 were not satisfied, 63,933 shares due to vest on January 1, 2014 did not vest. Such shares may vest on any subsequent vesting date provided that the performance targets for the subsequent calendar year are met. Amounts recorded as compensation expense pertaining to these shares during the year ended December 31, 2013 were reversed.  Accordingly, no compensation expense associated with these shares was recorded in 2013.

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

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS
The Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which commenced January 1, 1999, allows non-employee directors of the Company to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their annual retainer fee into deferred stock units.  The deferred stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the directors’ termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plan.  Deferred stock units are credited to each director quarterly using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter.  Each participating director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of deferred stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.
 
 
 
126

 
 

 
During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 22,392, 17,834 and 14,886 deferred stock units were earned, respectively.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 136,440 and 115,331 deferred stock units outstanding, respectively.

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

Dividends declared per common share for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $1.35, $1.80 and $1.80 per share, respectively.


16.   NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN SUBSIDIARIES

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

OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

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.

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.
 
 
 
128

 

 

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 years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:


   
 
Common

Redemption of common units for shares of common stock

Balance at December 31, 2013
 11,864,775

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 year ended December 31, 2013, the Company has decreased noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and increased additional paid-in capital in Mack-Cali Realty Corporation stockholders’ equity by approximately $0.7 million as of December 31, 2013.

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST OWNERSHIP
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the noncontrolling interest common unitholders owned 11.9 percent and 12.2 percent of the Operating Partnership, respectively.

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

PARTICIPATION RIGHTS
The Company’s interests in certain real estate projects (three properties and a future development) each provide for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter, other parties have participation rights (“Participation Rights”) in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Company’s capital contributions, plus (b) an internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 10 percent per annum.

17.   SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates in three business segments: (i) commercial and other real estate, (ii) multi-family real estate, and (iii) multi-family services.  The Company provides leasing, property management, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its commercial and other real estate and multi-family real estate portfolio.  The Company’s multi-family services business also provides similar services for third parties.  The Company no longer considers construction services as a reportable segment as it has significantly reduced its operations.  The Company had no revenues from foreign countries recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.  The Company had no long lived assets in foreign locations as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 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 each of its real estate segments (commercial and other, and multi-family) and from its multi-family services segment.

Selected results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and selected asset information as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 regarding the Company’s operating segments are as follows.  Amounts for prior periods have been restated to conform to the current period segment reporting presentation: (dollars in thousands)

(1)
Amounts for the year ended December 31, 2013 relate to impairment charges as further described in Note 3: Real Estate Transactions – Impairments on Properties Held and Used.
(2)
During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company identified and recorded an out-of-period adjustment to reflect a charge of $1,260,000 to correct an error in the measurement of its impairment charges on certain properties in the third quarter of 2013. In the third quarter, in measuring the impairments on these properties, the Company did not include certain tenant improvement amounts to be paid for in-place leases in its discounted cash flows used to measure fair value and, as a result, should have recognized larger impairment charges by this aggregate amount. The Company has determined that this adjustment was not material to the quarter ended December 31, 2013 or the prior interim period.
(3)
During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company identified and recorded an out-of-period adjustment to reflect a charge of $1,559,000 to correct an error in its calculation of the gain on sale of rental property on a transaction that closed in the third quarter of 2013. In the third quarter, in recording the gain on the sale transaction, the Company did not include the full consolidated carrying amount of the property in computing the gain and, as a result, should have recognized a smaller gain by this amount. The Company has determined that this adjustment was not material to the quarter ended December 31, 2013 or the prior interim period.
