KEYSTONE PROPERTY TRUST

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1.     Organization and Operations

 

Keystone Property Trust (the “Company”) is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which is organized as a Maryland REIT. The majority of the Company’s properties are owned by Keystone Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Operating Partnership owns 100% of the preferred stock of Keystone Realty Services, Inc. (the “Management Company”), which entitles the Operating Partnership to receive 95% of the amounts paid as dividends by the Management Company.  As of September 30, 2002, the Company owned interests in 103 industrial and 20 office properties aggregating approximately 22.6 million square feet and an investment in a direct financing lease (the “Properties”).  The Properties are located in Central Pennsylvania; Northern and Central New Jersey; Indianapolis, Indiana; New York State; Ohio and Greenville, South Carolina and had an overall physical occupancy of 94.0% as of September 30, 2002.

 

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the results of its operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, have been included.  The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership with an ownership interest of approximately 73% at September 30, 2002.  The Company and the Operating Partnership are also the direct and indirect owners of several other subsidiary entities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the account balances of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their wholly owned and majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and their operations on a consolidated basis.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Real Estate Investments

 

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”).  This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations and supercedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” (“SFAS 121”) and supercedes the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions” (“APB 30”) for the disposal of a segment of a business as previously defined in APB 30.  SFAS 144 retains SFAS 121’s fundamental provisions for the recognition and measurement of impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and the measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. This Statement requires that, subsequent to January 1, 2002, the operations related to properties that have been sold or classified as held for sale be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented and properties to be sold be designated as held for sale on the balance sheet.

 

The Company recorded a $1.4 million provision for asset impairment for one of the New York office properties in the second quarter of 2002.  This property was sold in July 2002 (Note 3) for approximately $7.0 million and the $1.4 million charge was reclassified to discontinued operations in the third quarter. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company also recorded a $30.2 million provision for asset impairment for 19 office properties and 15 industrial properties totaling 3.9 million square feet located in New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania (the “New York Office Portfolio”) which were placed under a definitive sales contract during the third quarter (Note 3).

Recent Pronouncements

 

In April and June 2002, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS 145”), and 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”).  SFAS 145 eliminates the requirement that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect.  SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company has historically incurred these costs and expects it will continue to incur these costs as it refinances term debt prior to its maturity.  SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for exit and disposal costs.  SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.  The impact of the adoption of SFAS 146 will not be material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Assets Held for Sale

 

At June 30, 2002, the Company was evaluating strategic alternatives for the entire New York Office Portfolio including a possible sale.  In late June 2002, the Company received an unsolicited, non-binding offer to acquire the New York Office Portfolio for $178.3 million which included the assumption of $115.6 million in existing debt and the Company’s retaining a $25 million preferred equity investment in the acquiring entity.  Under the terms of this transaction, the Company will realize a net loss of approximately $30.2 million based on the net book value of the properties of approximately $208.5 million, which includes straight line rent receivables and other assets related to the properties. In accordance with SFAS 144, the Company determined at June 30, 2002 that a sale was not probable as this transaction was subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence and the posting of a non-refundable deposit of $3 million and accordingly classified the New York Office Portfolio as held for use.  As a result of these circumstances, the Company performed an impairment test of the New York Office Portfolio as of June 30, 2002, using probability–weighted cash flows of possible alternatives, including holding and using the assets for their remaining useful lives and had concluded that there was no impairment of the New York Office Portfolio as of June 30, 2002 that should be recognized.  In August 2002, the acquirer completed its due diligence and posted the required deposit and the Company concluded that it was probable that this disposition will be consummated.  Accordingly, the Company classified these assets as held for sale in the third quarter of 2002 and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $30.2 million.  These assets are not reported as discontinued operations due to the Company’s preferred equity investment in the entity which is acquiring these assets and the Company will report its continuing investment in accordance with the equity method of accounting.  The Company expects that this transaction will close in the fourth quarter of 2002.  Although the Company believes this transaction is a probable future event, other contingencies remain to be satisfied and there can be no assurance that this transaction will ultimately be consummated.

During 2001, the Company acquired 14 industrial properties in Pennsylvania, 50 acres of land in New Jersey and a joint venture partner’s 50% interest in an 800,000 square foot industrial property in Indianapolis, Indiana (Note 4).  These acquisitions aggregated 2.9 million square feet, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $102.5 million, which was funded through $53.6 million of mortgage financing and $48.9 million of cash generated primarily from property sales.

 

In 2001, the Company disposed of 27 industrial and office properties located in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina totaling approximately 4.3 million square feet. These dispositions included seven industrial properties, aggregating 2.1 million square feet, sold or contributed to Keystone New Jersey Associates, LLC, the Company’s joint venture with CalEast Industrial Investors LLC (the “CalEast Joint Venture”) (Note 4), for an aggregate net amount of approximately $269.7 million resulting in an aggregate gain of $11.0 million and aggregate losses of $1.9 million and a net aggregate gain of $9.1 million.  The consideration for these dispositions consisted of $158.0 million in cash payments, $104.6 million in debt, which was assumed by the CalEast Joint Venture, and a $2.0 million note the Company received as partial consideration in connection with one of its dispositions during 2001.  The note accrues interest at 10% and matures in 2004.

5.     Indebtedness

 

Variable Rate Indebtedness

 

In December 2001, the Company refinanced its $150 million secured line of credit with a new $125 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).  Borrowings under the Credit Facility enable the Company to fund acquisition and development of real estate, as well as provide working capital to the Company.  The Credit Facility has a term of three years, expiring December 21, 2004, with a one year extension available at the option of the Company.  Interest is calculated on a grid based on the Company’s leverage ranging from LIBOR plus 1.35% to LIBOR plus 1.875%.  Based on the Company’s current leverage, the facility is priced at LIBOR plus 1.625%.  The interest rate on the retired $150.0 million secured line of credit was based on a sliding scale, ranging from LIBOR plus 1.625% to LIBOR plus 2.25%, based on the Company’s leverage.  At September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company had $103.1 million and $65.8 million, respectively, outstanding on the applicable credit agreements.  The weighted average balances outstanding and weighted average interest rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, were $100.7 million and $89.5 million and 3.47% and 6.77%, respectively.

 

15



 

The Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including certain leverage, net worth and coverage ratios, on a quarterly, annual and ongoing basis.  The Company is in compliance with these debt covenants as of September 30, 2002.

 

In December 2000, the Company obtained a recourse $37.0 million loan to construct two industrial facilities in New Jersey.  This loan is collateralized by these properties, matures in December 2002 and requires interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% (4.07% at September 30, 2002).  The Company had approximately $12.3 million outstanding on this loan at September 30, 2002. The Company has an additional $3.9 million in a recourse construction loan outstanding at September 30, 2002 which matures in December 2005 and has an interest rate of 8.14%.

 

In October 2001, the Company entered into a $10.0 million working capital facility which is secured by mortgage loans on four properties and a lease assignment on another property.  The facility matures in January 2003 and requires interest only payments at LIBOR plus 1.75%.  The LIBOR interest rate is based on a sliding scale based on the value of the collateral.  As of September 30, 2002, approximately $6.5 million was outstanding under this facility with a weighted average interest rate of 3.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

 

Fixed Rate Indebtedness

 

Mortgage notes of $309.9 million, excluding debt premiums, encumbered 46 properties at September 30, 2002.  At September 30, 2002, interest rates on the mortgage loans ranged from fixed rates of 6.88% to 9.75%.  Mortgage notes had weighted average interest rates of 7.74% and 7.75% at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  The maturities for these notes range from October 2002 through July 2013.

 

6.              Common Share Offerings

 

In September 2002, the Company sold 2.0 million Common Shares at a price of $16.415 per share.  The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $31.6 million, after underwriters discount and offering expenses, to repurchase all of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a $20.0 million liquidation preference, which required a 9.00% preferred dividend, and 200,000 shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, with a $5.0 million liquidation preference, which required a  9.75% preferred dividend, from AEW Targeted Securities Fund, L.P., and all of its Series B Convertible Preferred Units, with a $7.5 million liquidation preference, which required a 9.50% preferred return, from Hopewell Properties, Inc.

 

In August 2001, the Company sold 2.5 million Common Shares at a price of $13.65 per share.  The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $32.2 million, after underwriters discount and offering expenses, to acquire all of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and all of its Series C Preferred Units from affiliates of Reckson Associates Realty Corporation for $35.7 million.  The remaining $3.4 million was funded from the Company’s Credit Facility.  In September 2001, the underwriter for this offering exercised its overallotment option and an additional 375,000 Common Shares were sold at a price of $12.94 per share.  The net proceeds, after underwriters’ discount and offering expenses, from this issuance were used to re-purchase 375,000 Common Shares from shareholders affiliated with Francesco Galesi, a Trustee of the Company, at an aggregate cost of $4.8 million.

 

16



6.              Common Share Offerings (continued)

 

In April 2001, the Company sold 7.5 million Common Shares at a price of $12.20 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $85.7 million after underwriters discount and offering expenses.  The Company used approximately $29.4 million of these proceeds to complete the re-purchase of 2,459,278 Common Shares and OP Units from Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership  and approximately $56.7 million of the net proceeds were used to repay outstanding debt.

 

7.     Segments

 

The Company reports segment information in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and management assess and measure operating results based upon property level operating income on an individual asset basis within each of the Company’s business segments.  The Company considers its reportable segments to be industrial, office and other based on geographic regions.  Other properties primarily consist of an investment in a direct financing lease.  The accounting policies of the reportable segments are consistent with those described in Note 2.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table at September 30, 2002 and 2001, unless otherwise noted (amounts in thousands):

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain information both included and incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intent,” “project,” or the negative of these words or other similar words or terms.  Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically, legislative/regulatory changes (including changes to laws governing the taxation of REITs), availability of capital (debt and equity), interest rates, competition, supply and demand for properties in the Company’s current and proposed market areas, and changes in general accounting principles and policies and guidelines applicable to REITs.  These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

 

The Company reported a net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 of $19.2 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $10.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.   This significant decrease in net income is primarily the result of a $30.2 million provision for asset impairment related to the New York Office Portfolio in 2002.  In addition, the Company incurred $930,000 in employee termination costs related to the sale of the New York Office Portfolio.  In 2001, the Company had recorded a $10.0 million gain on the sale of an asset in New Jersey.  Excluding the impact of the asset impairment provision, extraordinary items, employee termination costs and gains and losses on sales of assets, net income for 2002 would have been $4.0 million or $0.21 per diluted share, as compared to $3.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in 2001.  The increase in diluted earnings per share is primarily a result of lower interest rates on the Company's Credit Facility.

 

The 6.6% decrease in rental revenues during the quarter from $26.7 million in 2001 to $24.9 million in 2002, is primarily the result of the sale of Two Meridian Boulevard in the first quarter of 2002 and termination income in 2001 on an industrial property in Indiana.  In addition, economic occupancy in the Same Store properties declined from 93.5% in 2001 to 92.1% in 2002.  The decrease of $1.2 million in interest expense is a result of the decrease in interest rates for the Company’s variable rate Credit Facility.  The  $767,000 decrease in dividends and distributions to preferred shareholders and unitholders is a result of the repurchase of Convertible Preferred Stock and units in 2002 and 2001.

 

22



 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

 

The Company reported a net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 of $12.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $12.0 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the same period ended September 30, 2001.  The significant decrease in earnings per share is primarily the result of the $32.5 million in asset impairment charges  and employee termination costs recorded during 2002, $31.1 million of which was recorded in the third quarter related to the pending sale of the New York Office Portfolio.  In 2001, the Company recorded a $10.0 million gain from the sale of a building in New Jersey and a $2.7 million cumulative catch-up adjustment in 2001 for depreciation expense (as a result of the McBride assets placed back into service as assets held for investment).  In 2002, the Company incurred lower interest expense as a result of the reduction in overall leverage during 2001 and lower interest rates on the variable rate Credit Facility.  In 2002, the Company incurred a $1.0 million reduction in extraordinary items from early debt retirements.  Excluding the impact of gains and losses from asset sales, extraordinary items, employee termination costs, asset impairment charges and the 2001 cumulative depreciation adjustment, net income would have been $12.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, in 2002 as compared to $7.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in 2001.  The increase in diluted earnings per share is primarily a result of lower interest rates on the Company's Credit Facility.

 

The decreases in rental revenues, reimbursement revenues and property operating expenses during the period as compared to the same period in 2001 are primarily the result of the dispositions of approximately $288 million of assets in 2001, net of the impact of the reinvestment of the proceeds from these dispositions in approximately $100 million of operating assets. Economic occupancy in the Same Store Properties declined from 94.3% in 2001 to 92.4% in 2002 which resulted in a $282,000 decrease in revenue.  The decrease of $8.5 million in interest expense is a result of asset sales, the decrease in interest rates for the Company’s Credit Facility and the impact of the April 2001 Common Share offering which resulted in the Company repaying $56.7 million in debt.  The decrease in preferred unitholder and preferred shareholder distributions in 2002 is a result of the repurchase of Convertible Preferred Stock and units in 2001 from the proceeds of the 2002 and  2001 Common Share offerings.

 

SAME STORE RESULTS

 

Same Store Properties include 86 industrial properties and 20 office properties owned as of June 30, 2001, which aggregate 19.2 million square feet or approximately 81% of the Company’s net property operating income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.  The Company considers its Core Same Store Properties to be its same store industrial properties located within the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana markets.  The Company considers all other Same Store Properties to be Non-Core Same Store Properties.  The Company has 38 Core Same Store Properties which aggregate approximately 12.1 million square feet and represent approximately 45.0% of the Company’s property level net operating income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

 

For the quarter, property level net operating income on a cash basis for Same Store properties decreased by 1.0% or $165,000 in comparison to the third quarter of 2001.  Rental revenue increased by 0.6% or $107,000 due to rent increases in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, offset by a decline in economic occupancy from 93.5% in 2001 to 92.1% in 2002.  The decline in economic occupancy is primarily related to the Arnold Road and Sheffler Drive buildings in Pennsylvania.  Same Store results were also negatively impacted by an increase in operating expenses of $365,000 during the quarter primarily due to decreased occupancy and increased real estate tax expense.

 

Same Store property level net operating income results for the Core Same Store properties decreased by 2.3% from the third quarter of 2001.  Rental revenue decreased 1.3%, primarily as a result of declines in economic occupancy in certain Pennsylvania properties as discussed above.  Operating expenses increased by $183,000 primarily as a result of increased real estate tax assessments in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and increased operating expense as a result of vacancy in Pennsylvania.

 

Same Store property level net operating income results for the Non-Core Same Store properties increased by $58,000 or 0.8% higher than the same quarter last year.  Rental revenue increased by 2.6% due to a 1.9% increase in economic occupancy.  Economic occupancy for the Non-Core Same Store industrial properties was 89.3% for the third quarter in 2001 as compared to 91.2% for the same quarter this year. The increase in economic occupancy is primarily related to increased occupancy in the South Carolina properties and the Steelway building in New York which offset increased vacancy in the other New York office properties.  Operating expenses increased $182,000 mainly due to increases in utilities and repairs and maintenance in New York.

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

 

Property level net operating income on a cash basis for the Same Store properties decreased by 2.0%, or approximately $1.0 million compared with the same nine-month period in 2001. Rental revenue decreased by 0.5%, which was comprised of a $937,000 increase in rent offset by a $1.2 million increase in vacancy, as economic occupancy declined from 94.3% in 2001 to 92.4% in 2002. Tenant reimbursements decreased 4.4% due to decreased occupancy and new leases with 2002 base years.  Operating expenses increased by $394,000 over the same period last year primarily as a result of higher real estate tax expenses related to increased tax assessments.

 

The Core Same Store properties had a 1.3% decrease in property net operating income.  Rental revenue decreased by 0.2% which was comprised of a $977,000 increase in revenue at properties in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, offset by a $1.0 million increase in vacancy as economic occupancy declined from 97.9% in 2001 to 94.4% in 2002.  These increases in vacancy were related to the two Arnold Road properties and 1440 Sheffler Drive in Pennsylvania.  Operating expenses increased $183,000 due to increased tax assessments in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

 

25



 

Non-Core Same Store property level net operating income results were $690,000 or 2.9% below the same period in 2001. Rental revenue was in line with the previous year but was offset by a 0.6% decrease in economic occupancy to result in a 0.8% decrease in net rental revenue during the period.  Economic occupancy in these properties declined from 91.0% in 2001 to 90.4% in 2002 as a result of vacancy in the New York office properties, which was slightly offset by increased occupancy in the South Carolina properties.  Tenant reimbursements decreased 6.1% due to decreased occupancy and new leases with 2002 base years.  Operating expenses increased by $211,000 primarily as a result of the increased real estate tax expense.

 

SEGMENTS

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

 

Industrial Segment

 

Revenue increased by approximately $168,000 while property level net operating income decreased by approximately $105,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. Revenue increased as a result of property acquisitions in Pennsylvania in December 2001.  Property level net operating income decreased due to asset sales in New Jersey in the fourth quarter of 2001 and lease termination income at the 6402 Corporate Drive property in Indianapolis in 2001.

 

Office Segment

 

Revenue and property level net operating income decreased by approximately $2.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.  These decreases are primarily a result of the sale of the New Jersey office properties in the fourth quarter of 2001 and the sale of 17 Columbia Circle in New York in July 2002.

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

 

Industrial Segment

 

Revenue and property level net operating income decreased by approximately $2.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. These decreases are primarily a result of asset sales of certain New Jersey properties in 2001 which were offset by acquisitions in Pennsylvania, the acquisition of an 800,000 square foot industrial building in Indiana in November 2001 and increased occupancy in the South Carolina properties in 2002.

 

Office Segment

 

Revenue and property level net operating income decreased by approximately $6.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. These decreases are primarily a result of the sale of the New Jersey office properties and several Pennsylvania office properties in 2001 and the sale of Two Meridian Boulevard in Pennsylvania in January 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company generated $34.5 million in cash from operating activities, as compared to $32.3 million during the same period in 2001.

 

Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was approximately $898,000 as compared to $56.0 million of cash provided by investing activities in the same period in 2001. The significant change in cash provided was primarily a result of higher asset sales activity in 2001 as compared to 2002.  Cash used in financing activities decreased to $35.1 million in 2002 as compared to $89.0 million during the same period in 2001. This decrease in cash used in financing activities was the result of the reduction in debt repayments as a result of lower asset sales activity in 2002. In 2001, the Company issued 10,375,000 Common Shares which resulted in net proceeds of $122.7 million after underwriters’ discount and offering expenses.  The proceeds of these offerings were utilized to repurchase 4,568,471 Common Shares and 765,807 OP Units from various shareholders and unitholders for approximately $66.7 million and to repay approximately $56.7 million of the Company’s outstanding debt.  In September 2002, the Company issued 2.0 million Common Shares for net proceeds of $31.5 million after underwriters’ discount and offering expenses.  The proceeds were utilized to repurchase Convertible Preferred Stock and Convertible Preferred OP Units from various investors.

 

Capitalization

 

As of September 30, 2002, the Company had $309.9 million of mortgage debt outstanding, excluding unamortized debt premiums, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.74% and a weighted average maturity of 4.7 years.  The Company has a $125 million unsecured revolving Credit Facility with a group of commercial lenders led by Wells Fargo Bank which expires on December 21, 2004. The Credit Facility has a term of three years with a one year extension available at the option of the Company. Interest is calculated on a grid based on the Company’s leverage ranging from LIBOR + 1.35% to LIBOR + 1.875%.  Based on the Company’s leverage at September 30, 2002, the rate was LIBOR + 1.625%.  At September 30, 2002, the Company’s outstanding borrowings under this Credit Facility were $103.1 million at an interest rate of 3.45%.  The Company has other variable rate debt, which aggregated approximately $18.8 million at September 30, 2002.  At September 30, 2002, the Company’s variable rate debt was approximately 28.2% of total debt. The Company’s ratio of debt to undepreciated assets was 51.6% at September 30, 2002 as compared to 49.7% at December 31, 2001.

 

Short and Long Term Liquidity

 

Cash flow from operating activities is the Company’s principal source of funds to pay debt service, common and preferred distributions, recurring capital expenditures and certain initial costs associated with the Company’s development activities.  The Company also has a commitment to fund approximately $7.9 million of additional equity to the CalEast Joint Venture.  This equity will be funded as the joint venture acquires additional properties.  The Company jointly and severally guaranteed a $18 million recourse construction loan of 4 Points Associates, LLC, a joint venture with Browning Investments, Inc., which completed construction of an approximately 800,000 square foot distribution facility in Airtech Park in Indianapolis, Indiana in the first quarter of 2002.  In connection with the development of Airtech Park, the Company has also guaranteed a $3.2 million revolving land development loan of a Browning affiliate for certain site improvements to Airtech Park.  The Company does not anticipate that any amounts will need to be funded by the Company as a result of these loan

 

27



 

guarantees.  In the third quarter of 2002, as further described in Note 3, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to dispose of the New York Office Portfolio at a loss of approximately $30.2 million.  The Company believes that this transaction will not have a material impact on the Company’s short term or long term liquidity.  Upon the closing of this transaction, the net proceeds will be utilized to repay the Company’s Credit Facility and to fund property acquisitions.  The Company expects that it will reinvest these net proceeds in its core industrial markets of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  After this reinvestment, the Company expects that its overall leverage levels will remain consistent with those as of September 30, 2002.  The Company expects to meet its short-term (one year or less) liquidity requirements generally through working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, availability under the Credit Facility and through proceeds from the disposition of the New York Office Portfolio and other asset sales.  The Company believes all of the sources discussed above will be available in order to fund short-term liquidity needs.

 

The Company’s long-term liquidity needs generally include the funding of existing and future development activity, selective asset acquisitions and the retirement of mortgage debt and amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.  The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity needs through a combination of the following: (i) the issuance of equity securities by the Company and its Operating Partnership, (ii) the selective disposition of its office and certain non-core industrial assets, (iii) the refinancing of maturing debt obligations; and (iv) the sale or contribution of certain of its wholly-owned properties to strategic joint ventures to be formed, which could allow the Company to generate additional capital.    The Company continues to evaluate its ongoing capital needs and potential financing sources, including accessing the market for rated corporate debt.  Finally, the Company expects that certain of the sources described above regarding short-term liquidity will be an additional source of capital for long-term liquidity.  The Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement under which the Company from time to time may issue common shares, or preferred stock and depository shares representing preferred stock, with an aggregate value of up to $500 million.  As of September 30, 2002, the Company has issued approximately $183.5 million of securities under this Registration Statement.

 

The Company believes that its available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities together with cash available from borrowings and ability to access other sources of capital, will be adequate to meet its capital and liquidity needs in both the short and the long-term.

 

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION

 

Funds From Operations (“FFO”), which is a commonly used measurement of the performance of an equity REIT, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), is net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructurings, asset valuation provisions and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.  Management believes the presentation of FFO is a useful disclosure as a general measurement of its performance in the real estate industry, although the Company’s FFO may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs which do not follow the NAREIT definition. The Company’s FFO presentation is in accordance with NAREIT’s FFO definition.  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.  Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) is defined as FFO reduced by straight-line rent adjustments and non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures for

building and tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and increased by amortization of deferred financing costs.

 

FFO, FAD and cash flows for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are summarized in the following table (in thousands, except share data):

INFLATION

 

The Company’s leases for commercial office and industrial properties generally require tenants to pay either their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance or pay 100% of these costs directly (for triple net leases).  As a result, the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses is reduced.  The Company does not anticipate that inflation will have a significant impact on its operating results in the near future.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of its results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.  The Company’s critical accounting policies have been disclosed in Note 2.  The Company’s most critical accounting policies are those that are important to the portrayal of its financial condition and operating results and require management’s most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company’s primary exposure to market risk is to changes in interest rates.  The Company is exposed to market risk related to its Credit Facility and other variable rate debt obligations as interest on these obligations is subject to fluctuations in the market.  The amount outstanding under the Credit Facility and other variable rate debt obligations represented approximately 28.2% of debt outstanding as of September 30, 2002.  The Company also utilizes mortgage debt with fixed rates as a source of capital.  The weighted average interest rate and maturity for fixed rate debt was 7.74% and 4.7 years, respectively, at September 30, 2002.  As these debt instruments mature, the Company typically refinances such debt at then existing market interest rates, which may be more or less than the interest rates on the maturing debt.

 

If the interest rate for the Credit Facility and other variable rate debt was 100 basis points higher or lower during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company’s interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 would have been increased or decreased by approximately $854,000. Approximately $27.6 million of the Company’s debt, including approximately $8.8 million of fixed rate debt, which has a weighted average interest rate of 9.5%, matures over the next twelve months. The Company currently intends to refinance or extend the maturities of these maturing obligations.

 

Due to the uncertainty of fluctuations in interest rates, the specific actions that might be taken by management to mitigate the impact of such fluctuations and their possible effects, this sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in the Company’s financial structure. As of September 30, 2002, the Company does not have any derivative investments related to interest rate management.

 

30



 

ITEM 4.           CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-14(c), under the Securities Exchange act of 1934.  The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have, within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls since the date of evaluation. The Company does not believe any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses exist in the Company’s internal controls. Accordingly, no corrective actions have been taken.
