EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020 of Vornado Realty Trust and Vornado Realty L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to the “Operating Partnership” refer to Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.
The Operating Partnership is the entity through which we conduct substantially all of our business and own, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. Vornado is the sole general partner and also a 92.7% limited partner of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Vornado has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.
Under the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, unitholders may present their Class A units for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time). Class A units may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash; Vornado, at its option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or Vornado common shares on a one-for-one basis. Because the number of Vornado common shares outstanding at all times equals the number of Class A units owned by Vornado, the redemption value of each Class A unit is equivalent to the market value of one Vornado common share, and the quarterly distribution to a Class A unitholder is equal to the quarterly dividend paid to a Vornado common shareholder. This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to specified adjustments to prevent dilution. Vornado generally expects that it will elect to issue its common shares in connection with each such presentation for redemption rather than having the Operating Partnership pay cash. With each such exchange or redemption, Vornado’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever Vornado issues common shares other than to acquire Class A units of the Operating Partnership, Vornado must contribute any net proceeds it receives to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership must issue to Vornado an equivalent number of Class A units of the Operating Partnership. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.
The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Vornado and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
enhances investors’ understanding of Vornado and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both Vornado and the Operating Partnership; and
creates time and cost efficiencies in the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between Vornado and the Operating Partnership in the context of how Vornado and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of Vornado. Vornado does not have any significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership, not Vornado, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of Vornado. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of Vornado. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by Vornado, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in exchange for Class A units of partnership in the Operating Partnership, and the net proceeds of debt offerings by Vornado, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for debt securities of the Operating Partnership, as applicable, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources may include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties.

VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)



1.
Organization
Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 92.7% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2020. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean, collectively, Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.
2.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified in Wuhan, China and by March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization had declared it a global pandemic. Many states in the U.S., including New York, New Jersey, Illinois and California implemented stay-at-home orders for all "non-essential" business and activity in an aggressive effort to curb the spread of the virus. In May 2020, certain states implemented phased re-opening plans for businesses and activities that were previously ordered to close, with limitations on occupancy and certain other restrictions. It is uncertain as to how long these restrictions will continue or if additional restrictions or closures will be imposed. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. economy has suffered and there has been significant volatility in the financial markets. Many U.S. industries and businesses have been negatively affected and millions of people have filed for unemployment.
Our properties, which are concentrated in New York City, and in Chicago and San Francisco, have been adversely affected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the preventive measures taken to curb the spread of the virus. Some of the effects on us include the following:
With the exception of grocery stores and other "essential" businesses, many of our retail tenants closed their stores in March 2020 and began reopening when New York City entered phase two of its state-mandated reopening plan on June 22, 2020.
While our buildings remain open, many of our office tenants are working remotely.
We have temporarily closed the Hotel Pennsylvania.
We have cancelled trade shows at theMART for the remainder of 2020.
Because certain of our development projects were deemed "non-essential," they were temporarily paused in March 2020 due to New York State executive orders and resumed once New York City entered phase one of its state mandated reopening plan on June 8, 2020.
As of April 30, 2020, we placed 1,803 employees on temporary furlough, which included 1,293 employees of Building Maintenance Services LLC ("BMS"), a wholly owned subsidiary, which provides cleaning, security and engineering services primarily to our New York properties, 414 employees at the Hotel Pennsylvania and 96 corporate staff employees. As of July 31, 2020, 542 employees have been taken off furlough and returned to work, which included 503 employees of BMS and 39 corporate staff employees.
Effective April 1, 2020, our executive officers waived portions of their annual base salary for the remainder of 2020.
Effective April 1, 2020, each non-management member of our Board of Trustees agreed to forgo his or her $75,000 annual cash retainer for the remainder of 2020.
While we believe our tenants are required to pay rent under their leases, in limited circumstances, we have agreed to and may continue to agree to rent deferrals and rent abatements for certain of our tenants. We have made a policy election in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Q&A which provides relief in accounting for leases during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing us to continue recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis for rent deferrals, with no impact to revenue recognition, and to recognize rent abatements as a reduction to rental revenue in the period granted. See Note 4 - Recently Issued Accounting Literature for additional information.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we collected 88% (94% including rent deferrals) of rent due from our tenants, comprised of 93% (98% including rent deferrals) from our office tenants and 72% (78% including rent deferrals) from our retail tenants. Rent deferrals generally require repayment in monthly installments over a period not to exceed twelve months.
Based on our assessment of the probability of rent collection of our lease receivables, we have written off $36,297,000 of receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents, primarily for the JCPenney lease at Manhattan Mall and the New York & Company, Inc. lease at 330 West 34th Street, both tenants have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and $8,822,000 of tenant receivables deemed uncollectible, resulting in a reduction of lease revenues and our share of income from partially owned entities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Prospectively, revenue recognition for these tenants will be based on actual amounts received. See Note 5 - Revenue Recognition and Note 8 - Investment in Partially Owned Entities for additional information.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado and the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company amounts have been eliminated and all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form  10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC.
We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
4.
Recently Issued Accounting Literature
In June 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-13”) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments establishing Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"), as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the financial asset. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief to allow companies to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option for financial instruments that were previously recorded at amortized cost and are within the scope of ASC Subtopic 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10"). We elected to apply the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis to our loans receivable. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and recorded a $16,064,000 cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning accumulated deficit to recognize credit losses on loans receivable recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $6,108,000 and $13,369,000, respectively, of credit losses on our loans receivable which is included in "interest and other investment (loss) income, net" on our consolidated statements of income.
In March 2020, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2020-04”) establishing ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Q&A on accounting for leases during the COVID-19 pandemic, focused on the application of lease guidance in ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). The Q&A states that it would be acceptable to make a policy election regarding rent concessions resulting from COVID-19, which would not require entities to account for these rent concessions as lease modifications when total cash flows resulting from the modified contract are “substantially the same or less” than the cash flows in the original contract. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, in limited circumstances, we granted rent deferrals and rent abatements for certain of our tenants. We have made a policy election in accordance with the Staff Q&A for our portfolio allowing us to not account for the concessions as lease modifications. Accordingly, rent abatements are recognized as reductions to “rental revenues” during the period in which they were granted. Rent deferrals result in an increase to "tenant and other receivables" during the deferral period with no impact on rental revenue recognition. For any concessions that do not meet the guidance contained in the Q&A, the modification guidance in accordance with ASC 842 will be applied. See Note 2 - COVID-19 Pandemic for further details.

Real Estate Fund Investments
We are the general partner and investment manager of Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) and own a 25.0% interest in the Fund, which had an initial eight-year term ending February 2019. On January 29, 2018, the Fund's term was extended to February 2023. The Fund's three-year investment period ended in July 2013. The Fund is accounted for under ASC Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.
We are also the general partner and investment manager of the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel Joint Venture (the “Crowne Plaza Joint Venture”) and own a 57.1% interest in the joint venture which owns the 24.7% interest in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel not owned by the Fund. The Crowne Plaza Joint Venture is also accounted for under ASC 946 and we consolidate the accounts of the joint venture into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.
On June 9, 2020, the joint venture between the Fund and the Crowne Plaza Joint Venture defaulted on the $274,355,000 non-recourse loan on the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel. The interest-only loan, which bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 3.69% (3.90% as of June 30, 2020), was scheduled to mature on July 9, 2020. We are in negotiations with the lenders and there can be no assurance as to the timing and ultimate resolution of these negotiations.
As of June 30, 2020, we had four real estate fund investments through the Fund and the Crowne Plaza Joint Venture with an aggregate fair value of $17,453,000, or $324,111,000 below cost, and had remaining unfunded commitments of $29,194,000, of which our share was $9,266,000. At December 31, 2019, we had four real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $222,649,000.

Investments in Partially Owned Entities
Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV
As of June 30, 2020, we own a 51.5% common interest in a joint venture ("Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV") which owns interests in properties located at 640 Fifth Avenue, 655 Fifth Avenue, 666 Fifth Avenue, 689 Fifth Avenue, 697-703 Fifth Avenue, 1535 Broadway and 1540 Broadway (collectively, the "Properties"). The remaining 48.5% common interest in the joint venture is owned by a group of institutional investors (the "Investors"). Our 51.5% common interest in the joint venture represents an effective 51.0% interest in the Properties. The 48.5% common interest in the joint venture owned by the Investors represents an effective 47.2% interest in the Properties.
We also own $1.828 billion of preferred equity interests in certain of the properties. All of the preferred equity has an annual coupon of 4.25% for the first five years, increasing to 4.75% for the next five years and thereafter at a formulaic rate. It can be redeemed under certain conditions on a tax deferred basis.
Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV was formed in April 2019, when we contributed our interests in the Properties to the joint venture and transferred a 48.5% common interest in the joint venture to the Investors (the “Transaction”). The Transaction valued the Properties at $5.556 billion, resulting in a $2.571 billion net gain, before noncontrolling interests of $11,945,000, including a gain related to the step up in our basis of the retained portion of the assets to fair value. Subsequent to the Transaction, Manhattan street retail suffered negative market conditions and was further stressed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This has resulted in a decrease in cash flows. As of June 30, 2020, we estimated that the fair value of our investment in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV was approximately $2,955,957,000 or $306,326,000 less than the carrying amount. In determining the fair value of our investment, we considered, among other inputs, a discounted cash flow analysis based upon market conditions and expectations of growth. As of June 30, 2020, we have concluded that the decline in the value of our investment was “other-than-temporary.” This conclusion was based on, among other factors, the significant challenges facing the retail sector and our inability to forecast a recovery in the near-term. Accordingly, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $306,326,000, before noncontrolling interests of $467,000, during the second quarter of 2020. The impairment loss is included in “(loss) income from partially owned entities” on our consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
We provide various services to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV in accordance with management, development, leasing and other agreements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $629,000 and $1,661,000, respectively, of property management fee income which is included in "fee and other income" on our consolidated statements of income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $830,000 of property management fee income.
BMS, our wholly-owned subsidiary, supervises cleaning, security and engineering services at certain of the Properties. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $748,000 and $1,773,000, respectively, of income for these services which is included in "fee and other income" on our consolidated statements of income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $791,000 of income for these services.

Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX)
As of June 30, 2020, we own 1,654,068 Alexander’s common shares, or approximately 32.4% of Alexander’s common equity. We manage, develop and lease Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable.
As of June 30, 2020, the market value ("fair value" pursuant to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820")) of our investment in Alexander’s, based on Alexander’s June 30, 2020 closing share price of $240.90, was $398,465,000, or $308,966,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2020, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s, excluding amounts owed to us, exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $38,552,000. The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common stock acquired over the book value of Alexander’s net assets. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Alexander’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings). We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives. This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income. The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

In connection with these sales, $6,690,000 of income tax expense was recognized on our consolidated statements of income. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we closed on the sale of 11 condominium units at 220 CPS for net proceeds aggregating $348,188,000 resulting in a financial statement net gain of $124,284,000.

Pursuant to an existing swap agreement, $750,000,000 of the loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.87% through October 2023, and the balance of $50,000,000 floats at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.00% (1.18% as of June 30, 2020).

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate redemption value of redeemable Class A units of the Operating Partnership, which are those units held by third parties, was $620,269,000 and $884,380,000, respectively.
Redeemable noncontrolling partnership units exclude our Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares. Accordingly, the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $50,058,000 and $50,561,000 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Changes in the value from period to period, if any, are charged to “interest and debt expense” on our consolidated statements of income.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - continued
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary
The consolidated joint venture in which we own a 95% interest (the remaining 5% is owned by the Related Companies ("Related")) is developing Farley Office and Retail (the "Project"). During the second quarter of 2020, a historic tax credit investor ("Tax Credit Investor") funded $92,400,000 of capital contributions. The Tax Credit Investor is projected to have $142,000,000 of net capital contributed after making an estimated $185,000,000 in total contributions and receiving an estimated $43,000,000 in distributions from the joint venture, which includes amounts paid upon the potential exercise of their put option, as discussed below.
The arrangement includes a put option whereby the joint venture may be obligated to purchase the Tax Credit Investor’s ownership interest in the Project at a future date. The put price is calculated based on a pre-determined formula. As exercise of the put option is outside of the joint venture’s control, the Tax Credit Investor’s interest, together with the put option, have been recorded to “redeemable noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary” on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the greater of the carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” in Vornado’s consolidated statements of changes in equity and to “partners’ capital” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. There was no adjustment required for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
Unconsolidated VIEs
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we have several unconsolidated VIEs. We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect these entities’ economic performance. We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method (see Note 8 Investments in Partially Owned Entities). As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $217,103,000 and $217,451,000, respectively and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to the carrying amount of our investments.
Consolidated VIEs
Our most significant consolidated VIEs are the Operating Partnership (for Vornado), the Farley joint venture and certain properties that have non-controlling interests. These entities are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. We consolidate these entities because we control all significant business activities.
As of June 30, 2020, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, were $5,089,516,000 and $2,811,319,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, were $4,923,656,000 and $2,646,623,000, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) real estate fund investments, (iii) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheets), (iv) loans receivable (for which we have elected the fair value option under ASC 825-10), (v) interest rate swaps and (vi) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units). The tables below aggregate the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities by their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Real Estate Fund Investments
As of June 30, 2020, we had four real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $17,453,000, or $324,111,000 below cost. These investments are classified as Level 3.
Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of each investment include capitalization rates and discount rates. These rates are based on the location, type and nature of each property, current and anticipated market conditions, industry publications and from the experience of our Acquisitions and Capital Markets departments. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs in the table below were utilized in determining the fair value of these real estate fund investments.

The inputs above are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions and/or changes in use or timing of exit. Changes in discount rates and terminal capitalization rates result in increases or decreases in the fair values of these investments. The discount rates encompass, among other things, uncertainties in the valuation models with respect to terminal capitalization rates and the amount and timing of cash flows. Therefore, a change in the fair value of these investments resulting from a change in the terminal capitalization rate may be partially offset by a change in the discount rate. It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets
Deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3 consist of investments in limited partnerships and investment funds, which are managed by third parties. We receive quarterly financial reports from a third-party administrator, which are compiled from the quarterly reports provided to them from each limited partnership and investment fund. The quarterly reports provide net asset values on a fair value basis which are audited by independent public accounting firms on an annual basis. The period of time over which these underlying assets are expected to be liquidated is unknown. The third party administrator does not adjust these values in determining our share of the net assets and we do not adjust these values when reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging
We utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. We recognize the fair values of all derivatives in "other assets" or "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedge asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Reported net income and equity may increase or decrease prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows.
The following tables summarize our consolidated derivative instruments, all of which hedge variable rate debt, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
As of June 30, 2020, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (for impairment purposes) on our consolidated balance sheet consist of our investment in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV. There were no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019.
Our estimate of the fair value of our investment in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV was measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based upon market conditions and expectations of growth and utilized unobservable quantitative inputs including a capitalization rate of 4.5% and discount rate of 6.0%, resulting in a write-down during the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $306,326,000 before noncontrolling interests of $467,000 (see Note 8 - Investments in Partially Owned Entities).

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents (primarily money market funds, which invest in obligations of the United States government), and our secured and unsecured debt. Estimates of the fair value of these instruments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting them back to their present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate, which is provided by a third-party specialist. For floating rate debt, we use forward rates derived from observable market yield curves to project the expected cash flows we would be required to make under the instrument. The fair value of cash equivalents and borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facilities and unsecured term loan are classified as Level 1. The fair value of our secured debt and unsecured debt are classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments.

Stock-based Compensation
We account for all equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense, a component of "general and administrative" expense on our consolidated statements of income, was $7,703,000 and $10,520,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $33,468,000 and $42,174,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
2020 Outperformance Plan ("2020 OPP")
On March 30, 2020, the Compensation Committee of Vornado's Board of Trustees (the "Committee") approved the 2020 OPP, a multi-year, $35,000,000 performance-based equity compensation plan of which $32,930,000 was granted to senior executives. The fair value of the 2020 OPP granted was $11,686,000, of which $7,583,000 was immediately expensed due to the acceleration of vesting for employees who are retirement eligible (have reached age 65 or age 60 with at least 20 years of service). The remaining $4,103,000 is being amortized into expense over a five-year period from the date of grant using a graded vesting attribution model.
Under the 2020 OPP, participants have the opportunity to earn compensation payable in the form of equity awards if Vornado common shares outperform a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) and/or outperform the market with respect to relative total TSR during the three-year performance period (the “Performance Period”) from March 30, 2020 to March 30, 2023 (the “Measurement Date”). Specifically, awards under the 2020 OPP may potentially be earned if Vornado (i) achieves a TSR above a benchmark weighted index (the “Index”) comprised 80% of the SNL US Office REIT Index and 20% of the SNL US Retail Index over the Performance Period (the “Relative Component”), and/or (ii) achieves a TSR greater than 21% over the Performance Period (the “Absolute Component”).  The value of awards under the Relative Component and Absolute Component will be calculated separately and will each be subject to an aggregate $35,000,000 maximum award cap for all participants. The two components will be added together to determine the aggregate award size, which shall also be subject to the aggregate $35,000,000 maximum award cap for all participants.  In the event awards are earned under the Absolute Component, but Vornado underperforms the Index by more than 200 basis points per annum over the Performance Period (600 basis points over the three years), the amount earned under the Absolute Component will be reduced based on the degree by which the Index exceeds Vornado’s TSR with the maximum payout being 50% under the Absolute Component. In the event awards are earned under the Relative Component, but Vornado fails to achieve a TSR of at least 2% per annum, awards earned under the Relative Component will be reduced on a ratable sliding scale based on Vornado’s absolute TSR performance, with awards earned under the Relative Component being reduced by a maximum of 50% in the event Vornado’s TSR during the Measurement Period is 0% or negative.  If the designated performance objectives are achieved, awards earned under the 2020 OPP will vest ratably on the Measurement Date and the first and second anniversary of the Measurement Date.  In addition, all of Vornado’s Named Executive Officers (as defined in Vornado’s Proxy Statement filed on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2020) are required to hold any earned and vested awards for one year following each such vesting date. Dividends on awards granted under the 2020 OPP accrue during the Performance Period and are paid to participants if awards are ultimately earned based on the achievement of the designated performance objectives.

608 Fifth Avenue
During the second quarter of 2019, Arcadia Group US Ltd ("Arcadia Group"), the operator of Topshop, our retail tenant at 608 Fifth Avenue, filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection in the United States. On June 28, 2019, Arcadia Group closed all of its stores in the United States. 608 Fifth Avenue was subject to a land and building lease which was set to expire in 2033. During the second quarter of 2019, we concluded that the carrying amount of the property was not recoverable and recognized a $93,860,000 non-cash impairment loss on our consolidated statements of income, of which $75,220,000 resulted from the impairment of our right-of-use asset.
On May 20, 2020, we entered into an agreement with the land and building lessor at 608 Fifth Avenue to surrender the property. Per the terms of the agreement, we were released from our obligations under the lease and assigned all of our right, title and interest in the tenant leases of 608 Fifth Avenue to the land and building lessor. In connection therewith, we removed the lease liability from our consolidated balance sheets which resulted in a $70,260,000 gain recorded on our consolidated statements of income during the second quarter of 2020.

The following table presents the calculations of (i) basic (loss) income per common share which includes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares and (ii) diluted (loss) income per common share which includes the weighted average common shares and dilutive share equivalents. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid, are accounted for as participating securities. Earnings are allocated to participating securities, which include restricted stock awards, based on the two-class method. Other potential dilutive share equivalents such as our employee stock options, restricted Operating Partnership units ("OP Units"), out-performance plan awards ("OPPs"), appreciation-only long term incentive plan units ("AO LTIP Units") and Performance Conditioned AO LTIP Units are included in the computation of diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") using the treasury stock method, while the dilutive effect of our Series A convertible preferred shares is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the if-converted method.

Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
For our properties except Farley Office and Retail, we maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, of which $235,000,000 includes communicable disease coverage, and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $350,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. We maintain coverage for certified terrorism acts with limits of $6.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate (as listed below), $1.2 billion for non-certified acts of terrorism, and $5.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended to date and which has been extended through December 2027.
Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of all risk property and rental value insurance and a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage, and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism including NBCR acts. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third-party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $1,430,413 and 20% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining portion of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC.
For Farley Office and Retail, we maintain general liability insurance with limits of $100,000,000 per occurrence, and builder’s risk insurance including coverage for existing property and development activities of $2.8 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate. We maintain coverage for certified and non-certified terrorism acts with limits of $1.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism and other events. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for uninsured losses and for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.
Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties, senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain it could adversely affect our ability to finance or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.
Farley Office and Retail
The consolidated joint venture in which we own a 95% ownership interest was designated by Empire State Development ("ESD") to develop Farley Office and Retail. The joint venture entered into a development agreement with ESD and a design-build contract with Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders. Under the development agreement with ESD, the joint venture is obligated to build the Moynihan Train Hall, with Vornado and Related each guaranteeing the joint venture’s obligations. Under the design-build agreement, Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders is obligated to fulfill all of the joint venture’s obligations. The obligations of Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders have been bonded by Skanska USA and bear a full guaranty from Skanska AB.
In connection with the development of the property, the joint venture took in a historic tax credit investor partner. Under the terms of the historic tax credit arrangement, the joint venture is required to comply with various laws, regulations, and contractual provisions. Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and, therefore, require a refund or reduction of the Tax Credit Investor’s capital contributions. As of June 30, 2020, the Tax Credit Investor has made $92,400,000 in capital contributions. Vornado and Related have guaranteed certain of the joint venture’s obligations to the Tax Credit Investor.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.

Commitments and Contingencies - continued
Other Commitments and Contingencies - continued    
In July 2018, we leased 78,000 square feet at 345 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, CA, to a subsidiary of Regus PLC, for an initial term of 15 years. The obligations under the lease were guaranteed by Regus PLC in an amount of up to $90,000,000. The tenant purported to terminate the lease prior to space delivery. We commenced a suit on October 23, 2019 seeking to enforce the lease and the guarantee.
In November 2011, we entered into an agreement with the New York City Economic Development Corporation ("EDC") to lease Piers 92 and 94 (the "Piers") for a 49-year term with five 10-year renewal options. The non-recourse lease with a single-purpose entity calls for current annual rent payments of $2,000,000 with fixed rent steps through the initial term. We operate trade shows and special events at the Piers (and sublease to others for the same uses). In February 2019, an inspection revealed that the piles supporting Pier 92 were structurally unsound (an obligation of EDC to maintain) and we were issued an order by EDC to vacate the property. We continued to make the required lease payments through February 2020, with no abatement provided by EDC for the loss of our right-to-use Pier 92 or reimbursement for lost revenues. Beginning March 2020, as no resolution had been reached with EDC, we did not pay the monthly rents due under the non-recourse lease. As of June 30, 2020, we have a $46,350,000 lease liability and a $34,647,000 right-of-use asset recorded for this lease.
Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us, except for the mortgage loans secured by 640 Fifth Avenue, 7 West 34th Street and 435 Seventh Avenue, which we guaranteed and therefore are part of our tax basis. In certain cases, we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of underlying loans. In addition, we have guaranteed the rent and payments in lieu of real estate taxes due to ESD, an entity of New York State, for Farley Office and Retail. As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $1,537,000,000.
As of June 30, 2020, $17,002,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.
As investment manager of the Fund we are entitled to an incentive allocation after the limited partners have received a preferred return on their invested capital. The incentive allocation is subject to catch-up and clawback provisions. Accordingly, based on the June 30, 2020 fair value of the Fund assets, at liquidation we would be required to make a $32,000,000 payment to the limited partners representing a clawback of previously paid incentive allocations, which would have no income statement impact as it was previously accrued.
As of June 30, 2020, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $11,000,000.
As of June 30, 2020, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $556,000,000.

Segment Information
We operate in two reportable segments, New York and Other, which is based on how we manage our business.
Net operating income ("NOI") at share represents total revenues less operating expenses including our share of partially owned entities. NOI at share - cash basis represents NOI at share adjusted to exclude straight-line rental income and expense, amortization of acquired below and above market leases, net and other non-cash adjustments. We consider NOI at share - cash basis to be the primary non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on NOI at share - cash basis, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. NOI at share and NOI at share - cash basis should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. NOI at share - cash basis includes rent that has been deferred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rent deferrals generally require repayment in monthly installments over a period of time not to exceed twelve months.
Below is a reconciliation of net income to NOI at share and NOI at share - cash basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Vornado Realty Trust

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and changes in equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 18, 2020, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward‑looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. We also note the following forward-looking statements: in the case of our development and redevelopment projects, the estimated completion date, estimated project cost and cost to complete; and estimates of future capital expenditures, dividends to common and preferred shareholders and operating partnership distributions. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict.
Currently, one of the most significant factors is the ongoing adverse effect of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, operating performance and the effect it has had and may continue to have on our tenants, the global, national, regional and local economies and financial markets and the real estate market in general. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic, which are highly uncertain at this time but that impact could be material. Moreover, you are cautioned that the COVID-19 pandemic will heighten many of the risks identified in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as well as the risks set forth herein.
For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.

Overview
Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 92.7% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2020. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean, collectively, Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.
We compete with a large number of real estate investors, property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, sales prices, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the global, national, regional and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation, population and employment trends. See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and "Risk Factors" in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding these factors.
In December 2019, COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China and by March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization had declared it a global pandemic. Many states in the U.S., including New York, New Jersey, Illinois and California implemented stay-at-home orders for all "non-essential" business and activity in an aggressive effort to curb the spread of the virus. In May 2020, certain states implemented phased re-opening plans for businesses and activities that were previously ordered to close, with limitations on occupancy and certain other restrictions. It is uncertain as to how long these restrictions will continue or if additional restrictions or closures will be imposed. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. economy has suffered and there has been significant volatility in the financial markets. Many U.S. industries and businesses have been negatively affected and millions of people have filed for unemployment.
Our properties, which are concentrated in New York City, and in Chicago and San Francisco, have been adversely affected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the preventive measures taken to curb the spread of the virus. Some of the effects on us include the following:
With the exception of grocery stores and other "essential" businesses, many of our retail tenants closed their stores in March 2020 and began reopening when New York City entered phase two of its state-mandated reopening plan on June 22, 2020.
While our buildings remain open, many of our office tenants are working remotely.
We have temporarily closed the Hotel Pennsylvania.
We have cancelled trade shows at theMART for the remainder of 2020.
Because certain of our development projects were deemed "non-essential," they were temporarily paused in March 2020 due to New York State executive orders and resumed once New York City entered phase one of its state mandated reopening plan on June 8, 2020.
As of April 30, 2020, we placed 1,803 employees on temporary furlough, which included 1,293 employees of Building Maintenance Services LLC ("BMS"), a wholly owned subsidiary, which provides cleaning, security and engineering services primarily to our New York properties, 414 employees at the Hotel Pennsylvania and 96 corporate staff employees. As of July 31, 2020, 542 employees have been taken off furlough and returned to work, which included 503 employees of BMS and 39 corporate staff employees.
Effective April 1, 2020, our executive officers waived portions of their annual base salary for the remainder of 2020.
Effective April 1, 2020, each non-management member of our Board of Trustees agreed to forgo his or her $75,000 annual cash retainer for the remainder of 2020.

Overview - continued

While we believe our tenants are required to pay rent under their leases, in limited circumstances, we have agreed to and may continue to agree to rent deferrals and rent abatements for certain of our tenants. We have made a policy election in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Q&A which provides relief in accounting for leases during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing us to continue recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis for rent deferrals, with no impact to revenue recognition, and to recognize rent abatements as a reduction to rental revenue in the period granted.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we collected 88% (94% including rent deferrals) of rent due from our tenants, comprised of 93% (98% including rent deferrals) from our office tenants and 72% (78% including rent deferrals) from our retail tenants. Rent deferrals generally require repayment in monthly installments over a period not to exceed twelve months.
Based on our assessment of the probability of rent collection of our lease receivables, we have written off $36,297,000 of receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents, primarily for the JCPenney lease at Manhattan Mall and the New York & Company, Inc. lease at 330 West 34th Street, both tenants have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and $8,822,000 of tenant receivables deemed uncollectible, resulting in a reduction of lease revenues and our share of income from partially owned entities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Prospectively, revenue recognition for these tenants will be based on actual amounts received.
We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting to date as a result of most of our employees working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness.
In light of the evolving health, social, economic, and business environment, governmental regulation or mandates, and business disruptions that have occurred and may continue to occur, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and operating results remains highly uncertain but the impact could be material. The impact on us includes lower rental income and potentially lower occupancy levels at our properties which will result in less cash flow available for operating costs, to pay our indebtedness and for distribution to our shareholders. During the second quarter of 2020, we experienced a decrease in cash flow from operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced collections of rents billed to certain of our tenants, the temporary closure of Hotel Pennsylvania, the cancellation of trade shows at theMART through 2020, and lower revenues from BMS and signage. In addition, we have concluded that our investment in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV is "other-than-temporarily" impaired and recorded a $306,326,000 non-cash impairment loss, before noncontrolling interests of $467,000, on our consolidated statements of income for the second quarter of 2020. The value of our real estate assets may continue to decline, which may result in additional non-cash impairment charges in future periods and that impact could be material.

The decreases in same store NOI at share and same store NOI at share - cash basis were primarily due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing trade shows to be cancelled from late March 2020 through the remainder of the year.
Calculations of same store NOI at share, reconciliations of our net (loss) income to NOI at share, NOI at share - cash basis and FFO and the reasons we consider these non-GAAP financial measures useful are provided in the following pages of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Dispositions
PREIT
On January 23, 2020, we sold all of our 6,250,000 common shares of PREIT, realizing net proceeds of $28,375,000. We recorded a $4,938,000 loss (mark-to-market decrease) for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
220 CPS
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we closed on the sale of four condominium units at 220 CPS for net proceeds aggregating $156,972,000 resulting in a financial statement net gain of $55,695,000 which is included in "net gains on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets" on our consolidated statements of income. In connection with these sales, $6,690,000 of income tax expense was recognized on our consolidated statements of income. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we closed on the sale of 11 condominium units at 220 CPS for net proceeds aggregating $348,188,000 resulting in a financial statement net gain of $124,284,000. In connection with these sales, $15,368,000 of income tax expense was recognized in our consolidated statements of income. From inception to June 30, 2020, we closed on the sale of 76 units for aggregate net proceeds of $2,168,320,000 resulting in financial statement net gains of $809,901,000.
Financings
Unsecured Term Loan
On February 28, 2020, we increased our unsecured term loan balance to $800,000,000 (from $750,000,000) by exercising an accordion feature. Pursuant to an existing swap agreement, $750,000,000 of the loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.87% through October 2023, and the balance of $50,000,000 floats at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.00% (1.18% as of June 30, 2020). The entire $800,000,000 will float thereafter for the duration of the loan through February 2024.
Leasing Activity
The leasing activity and related statistics in the table below are based on leases signed during the period and are not intended to coincide with the commencement of rental revenue in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Second generation relet space represents square footage that has not been vacant for more than nine months and tenant improvements and leasing commissions are based on our share of square feet leased during the period.

NOI At Share by Segment for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
NOI at share represents total revenues less operating expenses including our share of partially owned entities. NOI at share - cash basis represents NOI at share adjusted to exclude straight-line rental income and expense, amortization of acquired below and above market leases, net and other non-cash adjustments. We consider NOI at share - cash basis to be the primary non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on NOI at share - cash basis, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. NOI at share and NOI at share - cash basis should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. NOI at share - cash basis includes rent that has been deferred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rent deferrals generally require repayment in monthly installments over a period of time not to exceed twelve months.
Below is a summary of NOI at share and NOI at share - cash basis by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to June 30, 2019 - continued
Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $58,405,000 compared to $63,029,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $4,624,000. This decrease was primarily due to (i) $6,218,000 of lower interest expense resulting from lower average interest rates on our variable rate loans (ii) $5,998,000 of lower interest expense resulting from the repayment of the mortgage payable of PENN2, (iii) $2,276,000 of lower interest expense resulting from paydowns of the 220 CPS loan, and (iv) $1,615,000 of lower interest expense resulting from the deconsolidation of mortgages payable of the properties contributed to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV, partially offset by $10,366,000 of lower capitalized interest and debt expense.
Net Gain on Transfer to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a $2,571,099,000 net gain from the transfer of common equity in the properties contributed to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV, including the related step-up in our basis of the retained portion of the assets to fair value.
Net Gains on Disposition of Wholly Owned and Partially Owned Assets
Net gains on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets of $55,695,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 consisted of net gains on the sale of four condominium units at 220 CPS. Net gains on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets of $111,713,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of net gains on the sale of 11 condominium units at 220 CPS.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,837,000 compared to $26,914,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $25,077,000. This decrease was primarily due to lower income tax expense from the sale of 220 CPS condominium units.
Net Loss (Income) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries was $17,768,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to income of $21,451,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease in income of $39,219,000. This decrease resulted primarily from the allocation of net loss to the noncontrolling interests of our real estate fund investments, partially offset by a $11,945,000 net gain on transfer to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV during the second quarter of 2019.
Net Loss (Income) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership (Vornado Realty Trust)
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership was $14,364,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net income of $162,515,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease in income of $176,879,000. This decrease resulted primarily from lower net income subject to allocation to unitholders.
Preferred Share Dividends of Vornado Realty Trust
Preferred share dividends were $12,530,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $12,532,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $2,000.
Preferred Unit Distributions of Vornado Realty L.P.
Preferred unit distributions were $12,571,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $12,573,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $2,000.

Same Store Net Operating Income At Share
Same store NOI at share represents NOI at share from operations which are in service in both the current and prior year reporting periods. Same store NOI at share - cash basis is same store NOI at share adjusted to exclude straight-line rental income and expense, amortization of acquired below and above market leases, net and other non-cash adjustments. We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers. Same store NOI at share and same store NOI at share - cash basis should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
Below are reconciliations of NOI at share to same store NOI at share for our New York segment, theMART, 555 California Street and other investments for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to June 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Rental revenue is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, debt service, leasing commissions, dividends to shareholders and distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, as well as acquisition and development costs. During the second quarter of 2020, we experienced a decrease in cash flow from operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced collections of rents billed to certain of our tenants, the temporary closure of Hotel Pennsylvania, the cancellation of trade shows at theMART through 2020, and lower revenues from BMS and signage. For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we collected 88% (94% including rent deferrals) of rent due from our tenants, comprised of 93% (98% including rent deferrals) from our office tenants and 72% (78% including rent deferrals) from our retail tenants. While we believe that our tenants are required to pay rent under their leases, we have implemented and will continue to consider rent deferrals on a case-by-case basis. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, unsecured term loans and unsecured revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity; and asset sales.
As of June 30, 2020, we have $3.6 billion of liquidity comprised of $1.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and $1.7 billion available on our $2.75 billion revolving credit facilities. The challenges posed by COVID-19 could adversely impact our cash flow from continuing operations but we anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months together with cash balances on hand will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures. Capital requirements for development expenditures and acquisitions may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings. Consequently, the Company will continue to evaluate its liquidity and financial position on an ongoing basis.
We continue closings on the sale of condominium units at 220 CPS. During the second quarter of 2020, we closed on the sale of four condominium units for net proceeds aggregating $156,972,000 and in July 2020, we closed on the sale of seven condominium units for net proceeds aggregating $250,116,000. We expect to generate additional net cash proceeds from the sale of condominium units of approximately $500,000,000 for the remainder of 2020. In the aggregate, we will have recognized over $1.0 billion after-tax net gain, of which $678,817,000 has already been recognized in our consolidated statements of income from inception to June 30, 2020.
We may from time to time purchase, retire or redeem our outstanding debt securities or our equity securities. Such purchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Development and Redevelopment Expenditures for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Development and redevelopment expenditures consist of all hard and soft costs associated with the development or redevelopment of a property, including capitalized interest, debt and operating costs until the property is substantially completed and ready for its intended use. Our development project estimates below include initial leasing costs, which are reflected as non-recurring capital expenditures in the table above.
220 CPS
We are completing construction of a residential condominium tower containing 397,000 salable square feet at 220 CPS. The development cost of this project (exclusive of land cost) is estimated to be approximately $1.450 billion, of which $1.419 billion has been expended as of June 30, 2020.
PENN District
We are redeveloping PENN1, a 2,545,000 square foot office building located on 34th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenue. The development cost of this project is estimated to be $325,000,000, of which $112,089,000 has been expended as of June 30, 2020.
We are redeveloping PENN2, a 1,795,000 square foot (as expanded) office building located on the west side of Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Street. The development cost of this project is estimated to be $750,000,000, of which $69,686,000 has been expended as of June 30, 2020.
We are also making districtwide improvements within the Penn District. The development cost of these improvements is estimated to be $100,000,000, of which $8,735,000 has been expended as of June 30, 2020.
Our 95% joint venture is developing Farley Office and Retail (the "Project"), which will include approximately 844,000 rentable square feet of commercial space, comprised of approximately 730,000 square feet of office space and approximately 114,000 square feet of retail space. The total development cost of the Project is estimated to be approximately $1,030,000,000. As of June 30, 2020, $622,844,000 has been expended, which has been reduced by $88,000,000 of historic tax credit investor contributions (at our share).
The joint venture has entered into a development agreement with Empire State Development (“ESD”), an entity of New York State, to build the adjacent Moynihan Train Hall, with Vornado and Related each guaranteeing the joint venture's obligations. The joint venture has entered into a design-build contract with Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders pursuant to which they will build the Moynihan Train Hall, thereby fulfilling all of the joint venture's obligations to ESD. The obligations of Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders have been bonded by Skanska USA and bear a full guaranty from Skanska AB. The development expenditures for the Moynihan Train Hall are estimated to be approximately $1.6 billion, which will be funded by governmental agencies.
On December 19, 2019, we paid Kmart Corporation $34,000,000, of which $10,000,000 is expected to be reimbursed, to early terminate their 141,000 square foot retail space lease at PENN1 which was scheduled to expire in January 2036.
We recently entered into a development agreement with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to oversee the development of the Long Island Rail Road 33rd Street entrance at Penn Station which Skanska USA Civil Northeast, Inc. will construct under a fixed price contract for $124,639,000.

Commitments and Contingencies
Farley Office and Retail
The consolidated joint venture in which we own a 95% ownership interest was designated by Empire State Development ("ESD") to develop Farley Office and Retail. The joint venture entered into a development agreement with ESD and a design-build contract with Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders. Under the development agreement with ESD, the joint venture is obligated to build the Moynihan Train Hall, with Vornado and Related each guaranteeing the joint venture’s obligations. Under the design-build agreement, Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders is obligated to fulfill all of the joint venture’s obligations. The obligations of Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders have been bonded by Skanska USA and bear a full guaranty from Skanska AB.
In connection with the development of the property, the joint venture took in a historic tax credit investor partner. Under the terms of the historic tax credit arrangement, the joint venture is required to comply with various laws, regulations, and contractual provisions. Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and, therefore, require a refund or reduction of the Tax Credit Investor’s capital contributions. As of June 30, 2020, the Tax Credit Investor has made $92,400,000 in capital contributions. Vornado and Related have guaranteed certain of the joint venture’s obligations to the Tax Credit Investor.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.
In July 2018, we leased 78,000 square feet at 345 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, CA, to a subsidiary of Regus PLC, for an initial term of 15 years. The obligations under the lease were guaranteed by Regus PLC in an amount of up to $90,000,000. The tenant purported to terminate the lease prior to space delivery. We commenced a suit on October 23, 2019 seeking to enforce the lease and the guarantee.
In November 2011, we entered into an agreement with the New York City Economic Development Corporation ("EDC") to lease Piers 92 and 94 (the "Piers") for a 49-year term with five 10-year renewal options. The non-recourse lease with a single-purpose entity calls for current annual rent payments of $2,000,000 with fixed rent steps through the initial term. We operate trade shows and special events at the Piers (and sublease to others for the same uses). In February 2019, an inspection revealed that the piles supporting Pier 92 were structurally unsound (an obligation of EDC to maintain) and we were issued an order by EDC to vacate the property. We continued to make the required lease payments through February 2020, with no abatement provided by EDC for the loss of our right-to-use Pier 92 or reimbursement for lost revenues. Beginning March 2020, as no resolution had been reached with EDC, we did not pay the monthly rents due under the non-recourse lease. As of June 30, 2020, we have a $46,350,000 lease liability and a $34,647,000 right-of-use asset recorded for this lease.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - continued
Other Commitments and Contingencies - continued
Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us, except for the mortgage loans secured by 640 Fifth Avenue, 7 West 34th Street and 435 Seventh Avenue, which we guaranteed and therefore are part of our tax basis. In certain cases, we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of underlying loans. In addition, we have guaranteed the rent and payments in lieu of real estate taxes due to ESD, an entity of New York State, for Farley Office and Retail. As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $1,537,000,000.
As of June 30, 2020, $17,002,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.
As investment manager of Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the "Fund") we are entitled to an incentive allocation after the limited partners have received a preferred return on their invested capital. The incentive allocation is subject to catch-up and clawback provisions. Accordingly, based on the June 30, 2020 fair value of the Fund assets, at liquidation we would be required to make a $32,000,000 payment to the limited partners representing a clawback of previously paid incentive allocations, which would have no income statement impact as it was previously accrued.
As of June 30, 2020, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $11,000,000.
As of June 30, 2020, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $556,000,000.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

Vornado Realty Trust
FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciable real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets and other specified items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of (loss) income per share are disclosed in Note 20(Loss) Income Per Share/(Loss) Income Per Class A Unit, in our consolidated financial statements on page 42 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $203,256,000, or $1.06 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $164,329,000, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the prior year’s three months. FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $333,616,000, or $1.75 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $412,013,000, or $2.16 per diluted share, for the prior year’s six months. Details of certain adjustments to FFO are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview”.

Our pro rata share of debt of non-consolidated entities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is net of $16,200 and $63,409, respectively, of our share of Alexander's participation in its Rego Park II shopping center mortgage loan which is considered partially extinguished as the participation interest is a reacquisition of debt.
Fair Value of Debt
The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt. As of June 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $7,981,000,000.
Derivatives and Hedging
We utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. The following tables summarize our consolidated derivative instruments, all of which hedge variable rate debt, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

89


Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there were no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows have been and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the impact could be material to us.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified in Wuhan, China and by March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization had declared it a global pandemic. Many states in the U.S., including New York, New Jersey, Illinois and California implemented stay-at-home orders for all "non-essential" business and activity in an aggressive effort to curb the spread of the virus. In May 2020, certain states implemented phased re-opening plans for businesses and activities that were previously ordered to close, with limitations on occupancy and certain other restrictions. It is uncertain as to how long these restrictions will continue or if additional restrictions or closures will be imposed. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. economy has suffered and there has been significant volatility in the financial markets. Many U.S. industries and businesses have been negatively affected and millions of people have filed for unemployment.
Our properties, which are concentrated in New York City, and in Chicago and San Francisco, have been adversely affected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the preventive measures taken to curb the spread of the virus. Some of the effects on us include the following:
With the exception of grocery stores and other "essential" businesses, many of our retail tenants closed their stores in March 2020 and began reopening when New York City entered phase two of its state-mandated reopening plan on June 22, 2020.
While our buildings remain open, many of our office tenants are working remotely.
We have temporarily closed the Hotel Pennsylvania.
We have cancelled trade shows at theMART for the remainder of 2020.
Because certain of our development projects were deemed "non-essential," they were temporarily paused in March 2020 due to New York State executive orders and resumed once New York City entered phase one of its state mandated reopening plan on June 8, 2020.
As of April 30, 2020, we placed 1,803 employees on temporary furlough, which included 1,293 employees of Building Maintenance Services LLC ("BMS"), a wholly owned subsidiary, which provides cleaning, security and engineering services primarily to our New York properties, 414 employees at the Hotel Pennsylvania and 96 corporate staff employees. As of July 31, 2020, 542 employees have been taken off furlough and returned to work, which included 503 employees of BMS and 39 corporate staff employees.
Effective April 1, 2020, our executive officers waived portions of their annual base salary for the remainder of 2020.
Effective April 1, 2020, each non-management member of our Board of Trustees agreed to forgo his or her $75,000 annual cash retainer for the remainder of 2020.
While we believe our tenants are required to pay rent under their leases, in limited circumstances, we have agreed to and may continue to agree to rent deferrals and rent abatements for certain of our tenants. We have made a policy election in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Q&A which provides relief in accounting for leases during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing us to continue recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis for rent deferrals, with no impact to revenue recognition, and to recognize rent abatements as a reduction to rental revenue in the period granted.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we collected 88% (94% including rent deferrals) of rent due from our tenants, comprised of 93% (98% including rent deferrals) from our office tenants and 72% (78% including rent deferrals) from our retail tenants. Rent deferrals generally require repayment in monthly installments over a period not to exceed twelve months.
Numerous Federal, state, local and industry-initiated efforts may also affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. Certain of our tenants have incurred and may continue to incur significant costs or losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and/or incur other liabilities related to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, infection or other related factors that may adversely impact their ability to pay us timely or at all.

90


Item 1A. Risk Factors - continued
The COVID-19 pandemic has also caused, and is likely to continue to cause, severe economic, market or other disruptions worldwide. Conditions in the bank lending, capital and other financial markets may deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, our access to capital and other sources of funding may become constrained and the ratios of our debt to asset values may deteriorate, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings, renewals or refinancings. In addition, the deterioration of global, national, regional and local economic conditions as a result of the pandemic may ultimately decrease occupancy levels and/or rent levels across our portfolio as tenants reduce or defer their spending, which may result in less cash flow available for operating costs, to pay our indebtedness and for distribution to our shareholders and the impact could be material. In addition, we have concluded that our investment in Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV is "other-than-temporarily" impaired and recorded a $306,326,000 non-cash impairment loss on our consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The value of our real estate assets may continue to decline, which may result in additional non-cash impairment charges in future periods and that impact could be material. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak and governmental responses thereto, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, we are not able at this time to estimate the ultimate effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material. The potential effects of COVID-19 also could impact many of our risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and give rise to additional risks and uncertainties currently not known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial. However, the potential impact remains uncertain but that impact could be material to us.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Vornado Realty Trust
None.
Vornado Realty L.P.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we issued 63,990 Class A units in connection with equity awards issued pursuant to Vornado’s omnibus share plan, including with respect to grants of restricted Vornado common shares and restricted units of the Operating Partnership and upon conversion, surrender or exchange of the Operating Partnership’s units or Vornado stock options, and consideration received included $368,479 in cash proceeds. Such units were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
