Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) | Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
We are a Delaware limited partnership formed on March 6, 1996 for the purpose of owning, acquiring, developing and operating office buildings across the United States. As of March 31, 2006, we owned a controlling interest in a portfolio of 53 operating office buildings. As of March 31, 2006, we also owned a minority interest in 30 operating office buildings. The properties are located in Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Orange County/Los Angeles, Northern California, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Seattle and metropolitan Washington, D.C.
We are managed indirectly by CarrAmerica Realty Corporation (“CarrAmerica”), a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”). On June 30, 2004, CarrAmerica Realty Corporation contributed substantially all of it assets to CarrAmerica Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) in exchange for units of common and preferred partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership assumed substantially all of CarrAmerica Realty Corporation’s liabilities. Our general partner is CarrAmerica Realty GP Holdings, LLC (the “General Partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CarrAmerica. The General Partner owned a 1.0% interest in us at March 31, 2006. Our limited partners are CarrAmerica Realty LP Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CarrAmerica, which owned an approximate 92.6% interest in us at March 31, 2006, and various other individuals and entities, which collectively owned an approximate 6.4% interest in us at March 31, 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared using the accounting policies described in our 2005 annual report on Form 10-K. Our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries and affiliates are consolidated in the financial statements. We consolidate all entities in which we own a direct or indirect majority voting interest and where the minority holders do not have rights to participate in significant decisions that are made in the ordinary course of business. If applicable, we would consolidate any variable interest entity of which we are the primary beneficiary. We use the equity method to account for our investments in and our share of the earnings or losses of unconsolidated entities. These entities are not controlled by us. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of an investment accounted for using the equity method has declined below its carrying value and we consider the decline to be “other than temporary,” the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.
Management has made a number of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the financial statements, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are required in order for us to prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Significant estimates are required in a number of areas, including the depreciable lives of assets, evaluating the impairment of long-lived assets, allocating the purchase cost of acquired properties and evaluating the collectibility of accounts receivable. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In accordance with its established practices, CarrAmerica allocates certain general and administrative expenses to its subsidiaries, including us. CarrAmerica allocates certain general expenses to subsidiaries based on their respective share of total assets. Expenses allocated to us by CarrAmerica during the three months ended for both March 31, 2006 and 2005 totaled approximately $1.7 million.
We commence revenue recognition on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, we evaluate whether we or the lessee are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the
7
CARRAMERICA REALTY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
tenant improvements. If we are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If we conclude we are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives and the leased asset is the unimproved space. In these circumstances, we begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct improvements. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. We consider a number of different factors to evaluate whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These criteria include:
| • | | whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; |
| • | | whether the tenant or landlord retain legal title to the improvements; |
| • | | the uniqueness of the improvements; |
| • | | the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and |
| • | | who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements. |
The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment. In making that determination we consider all of the above factors, however, no one factor is determinative in reaching a conclusion.
If a lease provides for rent based on the resolution of contingencies, such as meeting a level of sales by the tenant, we defer rent associated with rental contingencies until the resolution of the contingency.
| (d) | Interim Financial Statements |
The financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary to reflect a fair presentation of results for the interim periods, and all adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
(2) | Proposed Merger with an Affiliate of The Blackstone Group |
On March 5, 2006, we and certain other parties, including CarrAmerica, Operating Partnership and Carr Realty Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited liability partnership (“CRH”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Nantucket Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Nantucket Acquisition Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (“MergerCo”), Nantucket CRH Acquisition L.P., a Delaware limited liability partnership whose general partner is MergerCo (“NCRH Merger Partnership”) and Nantucket CAR Acquisition L.P., a Delaware limited partnership whose general partner is MergerCo (“NCAR Merger Partnership”). Parent, MergerCo, NCRH Merger Partnership and NCAR Merger Partnership (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) are affiliates of The Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved unanimously by CarrAmerica’s Board of Directors.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, concurrently at closing, (1) NCRH Merger Partnership will be merged with and into CRH with CRH continuing as the surviving limited partnership, and (2) NCAR Merger Partnership will be merged with and into us with us continuing as the surviving limited partnership (collectively, the “Partnership Mergers”). Immediately after the effective time of the later of the Partnership Mergers, CarrAmerica will be merged with and into MergerCo with MergerCo continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Company Merger,” and together with the Partnership Mergers, the “Mergers”).
In connection with the Partnership Mergers, each unit of limited partnership interest in CRH and us, respectively, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the applicable Partnership Merger and not owned by CarrAmerica or any of its subsidiaries will be converted automatically into the right to receive $44.75 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes; provided, however, in lieu of the cash consideration, each holder of such units that is an “accredited investor,” as defined under the U.S. securities laws, will be offered the opportunity to elect to convert all, but not less than all, of such holder’s units for newly issued 6% Class A preferred unit in the applicable surviving partnership on a one-for-one basis.

CARRAMERICA REALTY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
In connection with the Company Merger, (1) each share of CarrAmerica’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger (other than shares owned by CarrAmerica or its subsidiaries or MergerCo) will be converted automatically into the right to receive $44.75 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, and (2) each share of CarrAmerica’s 7.5% Series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger will be converted automatically into the right to receive one share of 7.5% Series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock of the surviving corporation of the Company Merger on substantially the same terms as CarrAmerica’s Series E preferred stock. As promptly as practicable following the Company Merger, the surviving corporation in the Company Merger will liquidate into Parent. In connection therewith, holders of its Series E preferred stock will be paid an amount equal to $25.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends in accordance with the terms of such preferred stock.
Each outstanding option to purchase CarrAmerica’s common stock under any employee stock option or incentive plan will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, for each share of common stock issuable upon exercise of such option, cash in the amount of the difference between $44.75 and the exercise price per share of any such option.
CarrAmerica, Operating Partnership and the Buyer Parties have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, its covenant not to, nor to permit the Operating Partnership or any other subsidiary of CarrAmerica to, solicit alternative transactions or, subject to certain exceptions, participate in discussions relating to an alternative transaction or furnish non-public information pursuant to an alternative transaction. CarrAmerica will also be permitted to pay its regular quarterly dividend payable with respect to the first quarter of 2006, up to a maximum of $0.50 per share, which is the amount CarrAmerica currently expects to pay, but thereafter will not be permitted to pay dividends to holders of common stock.
The consummation of the Mergers is subject to customary closing conditions including, among other things, (1) the approval of the Company Merger by the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of CarrAmerica’s outstanding common stock, (2) the pay off and termination of CarrAmerica’s credit facility, and (3) the success of the consent solicitations for outstanding senior notes (unless called for redemption and paid for or satisfied and discharged). The closing of the Mergers is not subject to a financing condition.
Pending completion of the merger, CarrAmerica has agreed to carry on business in the usual, regular and ordinary course consistent with past practice. Under the Merger Agreement, CarrAmerica has agreed to various covenants regarding the conduct of its business and other general matters. These covenants include, among other things, limitations on its ability to purchase, acquire, sell, encumber, transfer or dispose of its assets, enter into or amend any material contract and, subject to a list of enumerated exceptions in the Merger Agreement, incur or repay indebtedness, issue or repurchase equity, make capital contributions to joint ventures or encumber company properties.
(3) | Mortgages and Notes Payable |
Our mortgages and notes payable are summarized as follows:

We have four loans with CarrAmerica. The first is a $30.0 million loan (balance at March 31, 2006 of $24.7 million) that bears interest at 8.5%, requires monthly principal and interest payments of $242,000 and matures on May 31, 2011. The second is a $12.0 million loan that bears interest at 8.5% and requires monthly interest only payments of $85,000 and matures on March 27, 2007. The third is a $27.0 million loan that requires monthly interest only payments equal to 100 basis points over 30-day LIBOR (5.85% as of March 31, 2006) and matures on December 31, 2017. The fourth is an $18.0 million loan that bears interest at 5.5% and requires monthly interest only payments of $82,500 and matures on November 30, 2015. Total interest paid to CarrAmerica under these loans was $1.4 million and $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively.

On June 30, 2004, CarrAmerica entered into a $500.0 million, three-year unsecured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative agent for a syndicate of banks. We are an unconditional guarantor of borrowings under this facility. The facility replaced and was used to repay all amounts outstanding under CarrAmerica’s previous senior unsecured credit facility. CarrAmerica may increase the facility to $700.0 million by request at any time within 24 months of the closing, provided the funding commitments are increased accordingly. The facility can be extended one year at CarrAmerica’s option. The facility carries an interest rate of 65 basis points over 30-day LIBOR, or 5.50%, as of March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, $164.0 million was drawn on the credit facility, $14.2 million in letters of credit were outstanding, and CarrAmerica had $321.8 million available for borrowing.
CarrAmerica’s unsecured credit facility contains financial and other covenants with which it must comply. Some of these covenants include:
| • | | A minimum ratio of annual EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to interest expense of at least 2 to 1; |
| • | | A minimum ratio of annual EBITDA to fixed charges of at least 1.5 to 1; |
| • | | A maximum ratio of aggregate unsecured debt to tangible fair market value of CarrAmerica’s unencumbered assets of 60%; |
| • | | A maximum ratio of total secured debt to tangible fair market value of 30%; |
| • | | A maximum ratio of total debt to tangible fair market value of CarrAmerica’s assets of 60%; and |
| • | | Restrictions on CarrAmerica’s ability to make dividend distributions in excess of 90% of funds from operations or the minimum amount necessary to enable CarrAmerica to maintain its status as a REIT. |
As of March 31, 2006, CarrAmerica is in compliance with all of its debt covenants related to its unsecured line of credit; however, CarrAmerica’s ability to draw on its unsecured facility or incur other significant debt in the future could be restricted by the covenants. During 2006, CarrAmerica may approach the limit of its unencumbered leverage ratio which restricts unsecured debt outstanding to no more than 60% of unencumbered assets. As of March 31, 2006, CarrAmerica’s unencumbered leverage ratio was 57.8%. CarrAmerica’s unencumbered leverage ratio is most significantly impacted by the performance of its operating properties and net borrowings required to fund capital expenditures and pay its dividend as a result of insufficient operating cash flow. Incurring additional unsecured debt to acquire additional unencumbered assets does not impact CarrAmerica’s unencumbered leverage ratio as significantly as incurring additional debt for other purposes. The tangible fair market value of CarrAmerica’s unencumbered properties is calculated by applying capitalization rates stipulated in its line of credit
10
CARRAMERICA REALTY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
of 8.5% - 9.0% to current operating income. Therefore, CarrAmerica’s unencumbered leverage ratio could increase if the operating income of its unencumbered properties decreases. Additionally, the ratio will increase as CarrAmerica acquires properties which have operating income which is lower than 8.5%—9.0% of the amount invested. If CarrAmerica’s unencumbered leverage ratio increases and surpasses 60%, it could impact its business and operations, including CarrAmerica’s ability to incur additional unsecured debt, draw on its unsecured line of credit, which is its primary source of short term liquidity, acquire leveraged properties or invest in properties through joint ventures. CarrAmerica expects to terminate and repay its credit facility at the time of the consummation of the proposed merger discussed in Note 2.
We have unconditionally guaranteed certain unsecured notes issued by CarrAmerica to institutional and other investors. The aggregate principal amount of these unsecured notes was $1.525 billion as of March 31, 2006 and 2005. These notes are in the following form:

CarrAmerica was in compliance with its senior unsecured notes covenants as of March 31, 2006.
Under the Merger Agreement referred to in note 2, CarrAmerica and Operating Partnership have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to commence offers to purchase and related consent solicitations relating to all of the aggregate principal amount of the senior unsecured notes that Operating Partnership has outstanding, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the related tender offer documentation that will be distributed to the holders of such notes. In connection with the offers to purchase the senior unsecured notes, Operating Partnership will seek the consents of the holders of the senior unsecured notes to amend the indentures governing the senior unsecured notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained in such senior unsecured notes and the indentures, eliminate certain events of default, modify covenants regarding mergers, and modify or eliminate certain other provisions contained in the indentures and the senior unsecured notes. Assuming the requisite consents are received from the holders of the senior unsecured notes to amend the indentures and the senior unsecured notes, the amendments will become operative concurrently with the Company Merger effective time, so long as all validly tendered notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the offers to purchase upon the completion of the Mergers, whereupon the amendments will apply to all such senior unsecured notes remaining outstanding following completion of the applicable offers to purchase. The proposed terms of the amended senior unsecured notes and indentures will be described in the tender offer documents. Assuming that all of the conditions to the tender offers and consent solicitations are satisfied or waived, concurrently with the Company Merger effective time, senior unsecured notes validly tendered in the tender offers will be accepted for payment. In the event the requisite consents have not been validly delivered (without having been properly withdrawn) with respect to any series of senior unsecured notes, CarrAmerica and Operating Partnership may issue an irrevocable notice of optional redemption for all of the then outstanding senior unsecured notes of such series in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture governing such series, which would provide for the satisfaction and discharge of such senior unsecured notes and such indenture.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Introduction
The discussion that follows is based primarily on our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and should be read along with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. The ability to compare one period to another may be significantly affected by acquisitions completed, development properties placed in service and dispositions made during those periods.
Proposed Merger with an Affiliate of The Blackstone Group
On March 5, 2006, we and certain other parties, including CarrAmerica, Operating Partnership and Carr Realty Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited liability partnership (“CRH”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Nantucket Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Nantucket Acquisition Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (“MergerCo”), Nantucket CRH Acquisition L.P., a Delaware limited liability partnership whose general partner is MergerCo (“NCRH Merger Partnership”) and Nantucket CAR Acquisition L.P., a Delaware limited partnership whose general partner is MergerCo (“NCAR Merger Partnership”). Parent, MergerCo, NCRH Merger Partnership and NCAR Merger Partnership (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) are affiliates of The Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved unanimously by CarrAmerica’s Board of Directors.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, concurrently at closing, (1) NCRH Merger Partnership will be merged with and into CRH with CRH continuing as the surviving limited partnership, and (2) NCAR Merger Partnership will be merged with and into us with us continuing as the surviving limited partnership (collectively, the “Partnership Mergers”). Immediately after the effective time of the later of the Partnership Mergers, CarrAmerica will be merged with and into MergerCo with MergerCo continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Company Merger,” and together with the Partnership Mergers, the “Mergers”).
In connection with the Partnership Mergers, each unit of limited partnership interest in CRH and us, respectively, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the applicable Partnership Merger and not owned by CarrAmerica or any of its subsidiaries will be converted automatically into the right to receive $44.75 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes; provided, however, in lieu of the cash consideration, each holder of such units that is an “accredited investor,” as defined under the U.S. securities laws will be offered the opportunity to elect to convert all, but not less than all, of such holder’s units for newly issued 6% Class A preferred unit in the applicable surviving partnership on a one-for-one basis.
In connection with the Company Merger, (1) each share of CarrAmerica’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger (other than shares owned by CarrAmerica’s or its subsidiaries or MergerCo) will be converted automatically into the right to receive $44.75 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, and (2) each share of CarrAmerica’s 7.5% Series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger will be converted automatically into the right to receive one share of 7.5% Series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock of the surviving corporation of the Company Merger on substantially the same terms as CarrAmerica’s Series E preferred stock. As promptly as practicable following the Company Merger, the surviving corporation in the Company Merger will liquidate into Parent. In connection therewith, holders of its Series E preferred stock will be paid an amount equal to $25.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends in accordance with the terms of such preferred stock.
Each outstanding option to purchase CarrAmerica’s common stock under any employee stock option or incentive plan will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, for each share of common stock issuable upon exercise of such option, cash in the amount of the difference between $44.75 and the exercise price per share of any such option.
CarrAmerica, Operating Partnership and the Buyer Parties have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, its covenant not to, nor to permit the Operating Partnership or any other subsidiary of CarrAmerica to, solicit alternative transactions or, subject to certain exceptions, participate in discussions relating to an alternative transaction or furnish non-public information pursuant to an alternative transaction. CarrAmerica will also be permitted to pay its regular quarterly dividend payable with respect to the first quarter of 2006, up
13
CARRAMERICA REALTY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
to a maximum of $0.50 per share, which is the amount CarrAmerica currently expects to pay, but thereafter will not be permitted to pay dividends to holders of common stock.
The consummation of the Mergers is subject to customary closing conditions including, among other things, (1) the approval of the Company Merger by the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of CarrAmerica’s outstanding common stock, (2) the pay off and termination of CarrAmerica’s credit facility, and (3) the success of the consent solicitations for outstanding senior notes (unless called for redemption and paid for or satisfied and discharged). The closing of the Mergers is not subject to a financing condition.
Pending completion of the Company Merger, CarrAmerica has agreed to carry on business in the usual, regular and ordinary course consistent with past practice. Under the Merger Agreement, CarrAmerica has agreed to various covenants regarding the conduct of its business and other general matters. These covenants include, among other things, limitations on its ability to purchase, acquire, sell, encumber, transfer or dispose of its assets, enter into or amend any material contract and, subject to a list of enumerated exceptions in the Merger Agreement, incur or repay indebtedness, issue or repurchase equity, make capital contributions to joint ventures or encumber company properties.
Real Estate Operations
After several years of adverse conditions in the commercial office real estate markets, vacancy rates peaked in the majority of our markets in 2003 and then began to improve. At the end of 2005, vacancy rates in all of our markets are declining due to continuing positive net absorption. As a result of improved office job growth, we believe leasing activity is up significantly, and we believe that market rental rates have stabilized in all of our markets and have improved in many of our markets including Washington, D.C. and Southern California. We anticipate rental economics will improve in most of our markets for the discernable future.
Due to the improving market conditions described above, occupancy in our portfolio of operating properties increased to 92.7% at March 31, 2006 compared to 91.4% at December 31, 2005 and 89.0% at March 31, 2005. If demand continues to improve in the balance of 2006, we expect that our overall portfolio average occupancy may improve further.
We are currently marketing or anticipate marketing several properties for sale. There can be no assurance any of these sales will be consummated.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies and estimates relate to revenue recognition, estimating the depreciable lives of assets, evaluating the impairment of long-lived assets and investments, allocating the purchase cost of acquired properties, and evaluating the collectibility of accounts receivable.
We commence revenue recognition on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, we evaluate whether we or the lessee is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements. If we are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If we conclude we are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduces revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, we begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct improvements. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. We consider a number of different factors to evaluate whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:
| • | | whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; |
| • | | whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements; |
| • | | the uniqueness of the improvements; |
| • | | the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and |
| • | | who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements. |
14
CARRAMERICA REALTY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment. In making that determination we consider all of the above factors. No one factor, however necessarily determines our conclusion.
If a lease provides for rent based on the resolution of contingencies, such as meeting a level of sales by the tenant, we defer rent associated with rental contingencies until the resolution of the contingency.
Depreciation of rental properties is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated lives of our assets by class are as follows:
| | |
Base building | | 20-40 years |
Building components | | 7 to 20 years |
Tenant improvements | | Lesser of the terms of the leases or useful lives of the assets |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | | 5 to 15 years |
We make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our assets. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income. Should we lengthen the expected useful life of an asset, it would be depreciated over a longer period, resulting in less depreciation expense and higher annual net income. Should we shorten the expected useful life of an asset, it would be depreciated over a shorter period, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower annual net income.
We assess the carrying values of our assets on a regular basis. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a rental property to be held and used or land held for development may be impaired, we perform a recoverability analysis based on estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the property in the future. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, the property and related assets, such as tenant improvements, lease commissions and in-place lease intangibles, are written down to estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. If we decide to sell rental properties or land holdings, we evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amounts of the assets. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from estimated net sales proceeds, the property and related assets are written down to estimated fair value less costs to sell and an impairment loss is recognized. Our estimates of cash flows and fair values of the properties are based on current market conditions and consider matters such as rental rates and occupancies for comparable properties, recent sales data for comparable properties and, where applicable, contracts or the results of negotiations with purchasers or prospective purchasers. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in our plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of additional impairment losses which, under applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial.
We allocate the purchase cost of acquired properties to the related physical assets and in-place leases based on their fair values. The fair values of acquired office buildings are determined on an “if-vacant” basis considering a variety of factors, including the physical condition and quality of the buildings, estimated rental and absorption rates, estimated future cash flows and valuation assumptions consistent with current market conditions. The “if-vacant” fair value is allocated to land, where applicable, buildings, tenant improvements and equipment based on property tax assessments and other relevant information obtained in connection with the acquisition of the property.
The fair value of in-place leases includes the effect of leases with above or below market rents, customer relationship value, where applicable, and the cost of acquiring existing tenants at the date of acquisition. Above market and below market in-place lease values are determined on a lease by lease basis based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid under the lease and (b) our estimate of the fair market lease rate for the corresponding space over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the related leases. The capitalized below market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the initial term and any below market renewal periods of the related leases. Capitalized above market lease values are amortized as a decrease to rental revenue over the initial term of the related leases. Customer relationship values are determined based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics we consider include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the lesser of the initial lease term and any expected renewal periods or the remaining useful life of the building. We determine the fair value of the cost of acquiring existing tenants by estimating the lease commissions avoided by having in-place tenants and avoided lost operating income for the estimated period required to lease the space occupied by existing tenants at the acquisition date. The cost of acquiring existing tenants is amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. Should a tenant terminate its lease

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
early, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value is charged to expense. Changes in the assumptions used in the allocation of the purchase cost among the acquired assets would affect the timing of recognition of the related revenue and expenses.
Our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is established based on analysis of the risk of loss on specific accounts. The analysis places particular emphasis on past-due accounts and considers information such as the nature and age of the receivable, the payment history of the tenant or other debtor, the amount of security we hold, the financial condition of the tenant and our assessment of its ability to meet its lease obligations, the basis for any disputes and the status of related negotiations. Our estimate of the required allowance, which is reviewed on a quarterly basis, is subject to revision as these factors change and is sensitive to the effects of economic and market conditions on our tenants, particularly in our largest markets. Bad debt expense was $0.2 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
Results of Operations
Operating results are summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | For the three months ended March 31, | | Variance |
(in millions) | | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2006 vs. 2005 |
Operating revenues | | $ | 24.0 | | $ | 19.7 | | $ | 4.3 |

Depreciation and amortization | | | 8.7 | | | 6.5 | | | 2.2 |
Interest expense | | | 1.9 | | | 1.6 | | | 0.3 |
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues increased $4.3 million (21.8%) for the first quarter of 2006 compared to 2005. This increase was due primarily as a result of the 2005 acquisitions ($4.0 million) and improving occupancy partially offset by lower rental rates.
Our lease rollover by square footage at March 31, 2006 is as follows:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased $1.4 million (18.2%) in the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The increase was due primarily to additional expenses incurred by the newly acquired properties ($0.8 million) and improving occupancy.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expense did not change in the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. General and administrative expenses are primarily expenses allocated from affiliates.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization increased $2.2 million (33.8%) in the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. The increase was due to the 2005 acquisitions ($2.2 million).
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.3 million (18.8%) in the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The increases were primarily due to the increase in interest related to intercompany loans ($0.4 million) as a result of the 2005 property acquisitions.
Dispositions
There were no property sales or dispositions for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
Consolidated Cash Flows
Consolidated cash flow information is summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | | For the three months ended March 31, | | | Variance | |
| | 2006 vs. 2005 | |
| 2006 | | | 2005 | | |
Cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 11.0 | | | $ | 4.9 | | | $ | 6.1 | |
Cash used in investing activities | | | (14.9 | ) | | | (2.8 | ) | | | (12.1 | ) |
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities | | | 4.5 | | | | (2.1 | ) | | | 6.6 | |
Cash provided by operating activities increased $6.1 million in the first three months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Cash flow from operating activities is primarily the result of factors discussed above in the analysis of operating results. The level of net cash provided by operating activities is also affected by the timing of receipt of revenues and payment of expenses.
Our investing activities used net cash of $14.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to using $2.8 million of net cash in the same period of 2005. The $12.1 increase in cash used for investing in 2006 was due primarily to an increase in investments in unconsolidated entities ($11.9 million) and rental property additions ($1.5 million) partially offset by an increase in distributions from unconsolidated entities ($1.2 million).
Our financing activities provided net cash of $4.5 million for the first three months of 2006 and used net cash of $2.1 million for the same period in 2005. The net change in cash flows from financing activities is primarily a result of increased borrowings from affiliates ($6.5 million) for the purchase of properties.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our liquidity and capital resources are dependent upon CarrAmerica and its other affiliates. CarrAmerica’s primary sources of capital is its real estate operations and unsecured credit facility. As of March 31, 2006, CarrAmerica had approximately $2.7 million of restricted cash and $321.8 million available for borrowing under its unsecured credit facility. CarrAmerica derives substantially all of its revenue from tenants under leases at its properties. Its operating cash flow therefore depends materially on the rents that it is able to charge to tenants, and the ability of those tenants to make their rental payments.
17
CARRAMERICA REALTY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Our primary uses of cash are to fund distributions to unitholders, to fund capital investment in our existing portfolio of operating assets and to fund new acquisitions and our development activities. We regularly require capital to invest in our existing portfolio of operating assets in connection with large-scale renovations, routine capital improvements, deferred maintenance on properties we have recently acquired, and our leasing activities, including funding tenant improvements, allowances and leasing commissions. The amounts of the leasing-related expenditures can vary significantly depending on negotiations with tenants and the willingness of tenants to pay higher base rents over the life of the leases.
During 2006, we expect that we will have significant capital requirements, including the following items. There can be no assurance that our capital requirements will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations.
| • | | Approximately $1.2-1.6 million in distributions to Unitholders (other than Class B Unitholders); |
| • | | Approximately $12-$20 million to invest in our existing portfolio of operating assets, including approximately $9-$17 million to fund tenant-related capital requirements; |
We expect to meet our capital requirements using cash generated by our real estate operations, by borrowings from CarrAmerica’s unsecured credit facility, and from proceeds from the sale of properties.
We believe that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations and the possible disposition of assets and have access to the capital resources necessary to expand and develop our business, to fund our operating and administrative expenses, to continue to meet our debt service obligations, to pay distributions to Unitholders, to acquire additional properties and land and to pay for construction in progress. However, as a result of general economic downturns, if CarrAmerica’s cash flow from operations are adversely affected in 2006 due to declining rental rates in certain of their markets with expiring leases, rent abatement features in many of the new leases at their properties and most significantly, their estimated tenant-related and other capital expenditures associated with new leases, we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or otherwise have access to capital on favorable terms, or at all. If we cannot raise the expected funds from the sale of properties and/or if we are unable to obtain capital from other sources, we may not be able to pay the distributions at their current level, make required principal and interest payments, continue our development activities, make strategic acquisitions or make necessary routine capital improvements with respect to our existing portfolio of operating assets. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and the value of our units. In addition, if a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, the holder of the mortgage could foreclose on the property, resulting in loss of income and asset value. An unsecured lender could also attempt to foreclose on some of our assets in order to receive payment. In most cases, very little of the principal amount that we borrow is repaid prior to the maturity of the loan. We may refinance that debt when it matures, or we may pay off the loan. If principal amounts due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or paid with proceeds of other capital transactions, such as new equity capital, our cash flow may be insufficient to repay all maturing debt. Prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of a refinancing (such as possible reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) may result in higher interest rates and increased interest expense.
Under our partnership agreement to the extent that there is available cash, each Class A Unit, Class D Unit, and Class E Unit is entitled to receive a distribution equal to the amount of dividend per common share that is paid to CarrAmerica’s shareholders. Once all of the holders of these units have received their distribution, all additional available cash may be distributed to the holders of Class B Units. Cash flows from operations are an important factor in our ability to sustain our quarterly distributions to our partners at the current rate of $0.50 per unit per quarter. During the first quarter, cash flows from operations increased from $4.9 million in 2005 to $11.0 million in 2006. We currently expect to maintain our distribution rate of $0.50 per unit per quarter in 2006. We expect that operating cash flow will be sufficient to maintain these distributions. In the event available cash is insufficient to pay distributions at the current level we may be unable to make distributions to our Class B Unitholders.
Debt Financing
CarrAmerica’s unsecured credit facility contains financial and other covenants with which it must comply. Some of these covenants include:
| • | | A minimum ratio of annual EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to interest expense of at least 2 to 1; |
18
CARRAMERICA REALTY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
| • | | A minimum ratio of annual EBITDA to fixed charges of at least 1.5 to 1; |
| • | | A maximum ratio of aggregate unsecured debt to tangible fair market value of CarrAmerica’s unencumbered assets of 60%; |
| • | | A maximum ratio of total secured debt to tangible fair market value of 30%; |
| • | | A maximum ratio of total debt to tangible fair market value of CarrAmerica’s assets of 60%; and |
| • | | Restrictions on CarrAmerica’s ability to make dividend distributions in excess of 90% of funds from operations or the minimum amount necessary to enable CarrAmerica to maintain its status as a REIT. |
As of March 31, 2006, CarrAmerica is in compliance with all of its debt covenants related to its unsecured line of credit however, CarrAmerica’s ability to draw on its unsecured facility or incur other significant debt in the future could be restricted by the covenants. During 2006, CarrAmerica may approach the limit of its unencumbered leverage ratio which restricts unsecured debt outstanding to no more than 60% of unencumbered assets. As of March 31, 2006, CarrAmerica’s unencumbered leverage ratio was 57.8%. CarrAmerica’s unencumbered leverage ratio is most significantly impacted by the performance of its operating properties and net borrowings required to fund capital expenditures and pay its dividend as a result of insufficient operating cash flow. Incurring additional unsecured debt to acquire additional unencumbered assets does not impact CarrAmerica’s unencumbered leverage ratio as significantly as incurring additional debt for other purposes. The tangible fair market value of CarrAmerica’s unencumbered properties is calculated by applying capitalization rates stipulated in its line of credit of 8.5% - 9.0% to current operating income. Therefore, CarrAmerica’s unencumbered leverage ratio could increase if the operating income of its unencumbered properties decreases. Additionally, the ratio will increase as CarrAmerica acquires properties which have operating income which is lower than 8.5% - 9.0% of the amount invested. If CarrAmerica’s unencumbered leverage ratio increases and surpasses 60%, it could impact its business and operations, including CarrAmerica’s ability to incur additional unsecured debt, draw on its unsecured line of credit, which is its primary source of short term liquidity, acquire leveraged properties or invest in properties through joint ventures. CarrAmerica expects to terminate and repay its credit facility at the time of the consummation of the proposed merger discussed previously in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our total debt as of March 31, 2006 is summarized as follows:

Our fixed rate debt bore an effective weighted-average interest rate of 7.43% at March 31, 2006 and had a weighted-average maturity of 5.23 years. The effective weighted-average interest rate of our fixed rate debt, excluding our notes payable to affiliates, was 7.13% at March 31, 2006 and had a weighted-average maturity of 3.20 years. Our variable rate note payable to affiliate at March 31, 2006 bore an interest rate of 100 basis points over 30-day LIBOR or 5.85%. We repaid $0.3 million of fixed rate mortgage debt and notes payable in the first three months of both 2006 and 2005.
Capital Commitments
We regularly incur expenditures in connection with the re-leasing of office space, principally in the form of tenant improvements and leasing commissions. The amounts of these expenditures can vary significantly, depending on negotiations with tenants and the willingness of tenants to pay higher base rents over the life of the leases. We expect to pay for these capital expenditures out of cash from operations or, to the extent necessary, borrowings from CarrAmerica. We believe that these expenditures are generally recouped in the form of continuing lease payments.
Unconsolidated Investments and Joint Ventures
We have investments in real estate joint ventures in which we hold 21.2% to 49% interests. These investments are accounted for using the equity method and therefore the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures are not included in our financial statements. These joint ventures own and operate office buildings financed by non-recourse debt obligations that are secured only by the real estate and other assets of the joint ventures. We have no obligation to repay these non-recourse debt obligations and the lenders have no recourse to our other assets.
Our investments in these joint ventures are subject to risks not inherent in our majority owned properties, including:
| • | | Absence of exclusive control over the development, financing, leasing, management and other aspects of the project; |
19

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
| • | | Possibility that our co-venturer or partner might: |
| • | | have interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours; |
| • | | take action contrary to our instructions, requests or interests (including those related to CarrAmerica’s qualification as a REIT for tax purposes); |
| • | | otherwise impede our objectives; or |
| • | | Possibility that we, together with our partners, may be required to fund losses of the investee. |
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
On June 30, 2004, CarrAmerica entered into a $500.0 million, three-year unsecured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative agent for a syndicate of banks. We are an unconditional guarantor of borrowings under this facility. The facility replaced and was used to repay all amounts outstanding under CarrAmerica’s previous senior unsecured credit facility. CarrAmerica may increase the facility to $700.0 million by request at any time within 24 months of the closing, provided the funding commitments are increased accordingly. The facility can be extended one year at CarrAmerica’s option. The facility carries an interest rate of 65 basis points over 30-day LIBOR, or 5.50% as of March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, $164.0 million was drawn on the credit facility, $14.2 million in letters of credit were outstanding and CarrAmerica had $321.8 million available for borrowing. CarrAmerica expects to terminate and repay this credit facility at the time of the consummation of the proposed merger.
We have unconditionally guaranteed certain unsecured notes issued by CarrAmerica to institutional and other investors. The aggregate principal amount of these unsecured notes was $1.525 billion as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. These notes are in the following form:
| | | | | | |
| | Note Principal |

7.375% notes due in 2007 | | | 125,000 | | | 125,000 |

5.500% notes due in 2010 | | | 250,000 | | | 250,000 |
5.125% notes due in 2011 | | | 200,000 | | | 200,000 |
7.125% notes due in 2012 | | | 400,000 | | | 400,000 |
| | | | | | |
| | $ | 1,525,000 | | $ | 1,525,000 |
| | | | | | |
The unsecured notes also contain covenants with which CarrAmerica must comply. These covenants include:
| • | | Limits on total indebtedness on a consolidated basis; |
| • | | Limits on secured indebtedness on a consolidated basis; |
| • | | Limits on required debt service payments; and |
| • | | Compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility. |
CarrAmerica was in compliance with the senior unsecured notes covenants as of March 31, 2006.
Under the Merger Agreement, CarrAmerica and Operating Partnership have agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to commence offers to purchase and related consent solicitations relating to all of the aggregate principal amount of the senior unsecured notes that Operating Partnership has outstanding, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the related tender offer documentation that will be distributed to the holders of such notes. In connection with the offers to purchase the senior unsecured notes, Operating Partnership will seek the consents of the holders of the senior unsecured notes to amend the indentures governing the senior unsecured notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained in such senior unsecured notes and the indentures, eliminate certain events of default, modify covenants regarding mergers, and modify or eliminate certain other provisions contained in the indentures and the senior unsecured notes. Assuming the requisite consents are received from the holders of the senior unsecured notes to amend the indentures and the senior unsecured notes, the amendments will become operative
20
CARRAMERICA REALTY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
concurrently with the Company Merger effective time, so long as all validly tendered notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the offers to purchase upon the completion of the mergers, whereupon the amendments will apply to all such senior unsecured notes remaining outstanding following completion of the applicable offers to purchase. The proposed terms of the amended senior unsecured notes and indentures will be described in the tender offer documents. Assuming that all of the conditions to the tender offers and consent solicitations are satisfied or waived, concurrently with the Company Merger effective time, senior unsecured notes validly tendered in the tender offers will be accepted for payment. In the event the requisite consents have not been validly delivered (without having been properly withdrawn) with respect to any series of senior unsecured notes, CarrAmerica and Operating Partnership may issue an irrevocable notice of optional redemption for all of the then outstanding senior unsecured notes of such series in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture governing such series, which would provide for the satisfaction and discharge of such senior unsecured notes and such indenture.

| • | | Availability and creditworthiness of tenants, |

| • | | The availability of financing for both tenants and us; |
| • | | Adverse changes in the real estate markets, including, among other things: |
| • | | The extent of tenant bankruptcies, financial difficulties and defaults, |
| • | | The extent of future demand for office space in our core markets and barriers to entry into markets in which we may seek to enter in the future, |
| • | | The extent of decreases in rental rates |
| • | | Our ability to identify and consummate attractive acquisitions on favorable terms, |
| • | | Our ability to successfully complete and lease development projects on time and within budget, |
| • | | Our ability to consummate any planned dispositions in a timely manner on acceptable terms, and |
| • | | Changes in operating costs, including real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and security costs; |

| • | | Environmental/safety requirements. |

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Any significant changes in our market risk that have occurred since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 are summarized in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained elsewhere in this report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness as of March 31, 2006 of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the rules promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On March 9, 2006, a purported stockholder class action lawsuit related to the Merger Agreement was filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia,Doris Staer v. CarrAmerica Realty Corporation, et al. (Case No. 06-0001918), naming us and each of our directors as defendants. On March 10, 2006, another purported stockholder class action lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City,William Reichart v. CarrAmerica Realty Corporation, et al. (Case No. 24-C-06-002569), naming CarrAmerica and each of its directors as defendants. Both lawsuits allege, among other things, that CarrAmerica’s directors violated their fiduciary duties to its stockholders in approving the merger.
Both lawsuits seek class action status and injunctive relief against completion of the merger and the related transactions. Additionally, among other things, the District of Columbia lawsuit seeks disgorgement of any benefits improperly received and the Maryland lawsuit asks for unspecified monetary damages. CarrAmerica believes that these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the actions.
We are party from time to time to a variety of other legal proceedings which are of a routine nature and incidental to our business. All of these other matters, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse impact on us.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be read together with the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the “2005 10-K”), which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. In addition to the risks identified in our 2005 10-K, we are also subject to the following additional risks:
Risks Related to Our Proposed Merger
On March 5, 2006, we, and certain other parties, including CarrAmerica, entered into a definitive Merger Agreement pursuant to which they have agreed, subject to the approval of CarrAmerica’s common shareholders and certain other conditions, to merge with and into an affiliate of The Blackstone Group. A preliminary proxy statement in connection with a special meeting of stockholders of CarrAmerica was filed by CarrAmerica with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 7, 2006 and may be obtained by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The proxy statement contains important information about CarrAmerica and its subsidiaries (including us), the buyer parties, the proposed merger and other related matters, and the discussions below contain only limited information about the merger. As a result, you are encouraged to read the proxy statement in its entirety for additional information about the proposed merger.
In connection with the proposed merger, CarrAmerica and its subsidiaries (including us), are subject to certain risks including, but not limited to, those set forth below.
If CarrAmerica is unable to consummate the proposed merger, their business, financial condition, operating results and stock price could suffer.
The completion of the proposed merger is subject to the satisfaction of numerous closing conditions, including the approval of the merger by CarrAmerica’s common stockholders. In addition, the occurrence of certain material events, changes or other circumstances could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement. Further, to date, two separate lawsuits have been filed seeking class action status and seeking to enjoin the merger, and additional legal proceedings may be instituted against CarrAmerica seeking to prevent the merger from being completed. As a result, no assurances can be given that the merger will be consummated. If CarrAmerica’s common stockholders choose not to approve the proposed merger, they otherwise fail to satisfy, or obtain a waiver of the satisfaction of, the closing conditions to the transaction and the merger is not consummated, a material event, change or circumstance has occurred that results in the termination of the Merger Agreement, or any legal proceeding results in enjoining the merger, CarrAmerica and its subsidiaries (including us), could be subject to various adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, the following:
| • | | We would remain liable for significant costs relating to the proposed merger, including, among others, legal, accounting, financial advisory and financial printing expenses; |
25
| • | | We may face various disruptions to the operation of our business as a result of the substantial time and effort invested by CarrAmerica management in connection with the merger; |
| • | | The decision to enter into the proposed merger may cause substantial harm to relationships between CarrAmerica and its employees and/or may divert employee attention away from day-to-day operations of our business; |
| • | | an announcement that CarrAmerica has abandoned the proposed merger could trigger a decline in CarrAmerica’s stock price to the extent that its stock price reflects a market assumption that it will complete the merger; |
| • | | CarrAmerica’s inability to solicit competing acquisition proposals and the possibility that they could be required to pay a termination fee of $85 million plus expense reimbursements of up to $7.5 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances; and |
| • | | We may forego alternative business opportunities or fail to respond effectively to competitive pressures. |
Certain restrictive pre-closing covenants in the Merger Agreement may negatively affect CarrAmerica’s business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Pending completion of the proposed merger, CarrAmerica and its subsidiaries (including us) have agreed to conduct their business in the ordinary course and consistent with their past practices. CarrAmerica also have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that they and their subsidiaries will not, among other things:
| • | | declare, set aside, make or pay dividends or other distributions, other than (a) dividends paid by their wholly owned subsidiaries, (b) the quarterly dividend payment on their common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 (not to exceed $0.50 per share), (c) the corresponding quarterly distribution for certain of their subsidiaries, and (d) cash dividends on their Series E preferred stock; |
| • | | acquire (by merger, consolidation, acquisition of equity interest or assets, or any other business combination) any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other business organization and any property (other than real property) or asset for consideration in excess of $200,000, or, subject to the consent of the purchaser, acquire, or enter into any option, commitment or agreement to acquire, any real property or commence any development activity on any of their, their subsidiaries’ or their joint ventures’ properties; |
| • | | incur any indebtedness or issue any debt securities or assume, guarantee or endorse, or otherwise as an accommodation become responsible for, the obligations of any person (other than a subsidiary) for indebtedness; |
| • | | modify, amend or terminate any material contract or enter into any new material contract or any non-compete contract; |
| • | | repurchase, repay or prepay any of our indebtedness, or pay, discharge or satisfy any material claims, liabilities or obligations; |
| • | | enter into a new lease or terminate, materially modify or amend any lease that relates to in excess of 25,000 square feet or net rentable area at any of their, their subsidiaries’ and their joint ventures’ properties, or enter into, terminate or materially modify or amend any ground lease; |
| • | | make any loans, advances or capital contributions to, or investments in, any person (other than their subsidiaries, joint ventures or as required by any material contract in effect as of March 5, 2006), or authorize or enter into any commitment for any new material capital expenditure other than certain permitted expenditures; |
| • | | waive, release, assign, settle or compromise any material legal actions or material liabilities or certain securities-related legal actions; |
26
| • | | sell or otherwise dispose of, or subject to any encumbrance, any of their, their subsidiaries’ or their joint ventures’ properties or other material assets other than pending sales pursuant to definitive agreements executed prior to March 5, 2006; and |
| • | | announce an intention, enter into an agreement or otherwise make a commitment to do any of the foregoing. |
These restrictions could alter the manner in which CarrAmerica and its subsidiaries (including us) have customarily conducted their business and therefore significantly disrupt the operation of their business, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and operating results.
Pending consummation of the proposed merger, existing or prospective tenants, vendors and other parties may delay or defer decisions concerning their business transactions or relationships with CarrAmerica, which may harm their results of operations going forward if the merger is not consummated.
Because the merger is subject to several closing conditions, including the approval of the merger by CarrAmerica’s common stockholders, uncertainty exists regarding the completion of the merger. This uncertainty may cause existing or prospective tenants, vendors and other parties to delay or defer decisions concerning their business transactions or relationships with CarrAmerica and/or us, which could negatively affect our business and results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Pursuant to our partnership agreement, minority interest units may be redeemed by us or one of our affiliates for either cash or common stock of CarrAmerica. The following table summarizes the number and average price for redemptions of third party units during the three months ended March 31, 2006:
| | | | | | | |
| | Total Number of Units Redeemed Purchased (1) | | Average Price Per Unit | | Remaining Outstanding Third Party Units That May Yet Be Purchased |
