Minority interests relate to the interests in our Operating Partnership that are not owned by our company, which, at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 amounted to 17.9% and 19.5%, respectively. In conjunction with the formation of our company, Mr. Maguire and entities controlled by him and certain other persons and entities contributing ownership interests in the Predecessor properties to our Operating Partnership received Units. Limited partners who acquired Units in the formation transactions have the right to require our Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their Units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of our common stock at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, we may elect to acquire those Units in exchange for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, our Operating Partnership redeemed a total of 890,526 Units upon instruction

(1) | On July 29, 2005, we obtained a $458.0 million conditional loan commitment to refinance the Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive garage debt in August 2006 at an effective interest rate of 5.35%, including the cost of the forward commitment. |
| |
(2) | A one-year extension is available. |
| |
(3) | As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 7.92% during the term of the loan, excluding extension periods. Subsequently, we sold a similar interest rate cap instrument, effectively canceling out the 7.92% LIBOR cap. |
| |
(4) | This loan must be repaid on the maturity date of the Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive garage mortgage financing if the mortgage is not extended. |
| |
(5) | As required by this loan, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 3.5% during the term of the loan, excluding extension periods. Subsequently, we sold a similar interest rate cap instrument, effectively canceling out the 3.5% LIBOR cap. |
| |
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(6) | This loan is subject to a LIBOR floor of 2%. This loan also requires a monthly “interest floor differential” payment during any month in which LIBOR is less than 2% per annum; such payment must be made until the principal balance of the Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive Garage senior mezzanine loan no longer exceeds $20.0 million, and is equal to the positive difference between 2% and LIBOR, times a notional amount that is initially $10.0 million, but which decreases dollar for dollar as the first $10.0 million of senior mezzanine loan principal is repaid. |
| |
(7) | There are seven individual rates for this mortgage with interest rates ranging from 4.50% to 4.83% with a weighted average interest rate of 4.68%. |
| |
(8) | We partially refinanced the Park Place II bridge loan, outstanding as of December 31, 2004, with a new $100.0 million, seven-year fixed-rate, interest-only mortgage loan and converted the remaining balance of the bridge loan into a mortgage loan secured by certain Park Place II development parcels. |
| |
(9) | On May 2, 2005, we obtained a $273.0 million fixed-rate conditional loan commitment to refinance 777 Tower in October 2006 at the then prevailing seven-year swap rate plus a spread of 0.949%. On March 4, 2005, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement in connection with this anticipated refinancing that will effectively fix this loan at 5.844%. |
| |
(10) | Net of loan discount of $0.5 million as of September 30, 2005. |
| |
(11) | As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 4.75% during the term of the loan, excluding extension periods. |
| |
(12) | On September 27, 2005, $10.0 million of mortgage debt was reclassified as mezzanine debt. There was no effect on the overall balance and interest rates. |
| |
(13) | We replaced this credit facility on March 15, 2005 with a new $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility, which matures on March 15, 2009 and currently bears interest of LIBOR + 1.75%. The spread may fluctuate between 1.50% and 2.00%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. |
| |
(14) | This note payable is collateralized with a letter of credit fully secured by an interest-bearing cash deposit. The note and related accrued interest are expected to be repaid from the proceeds of the cash deposit. |
Except for our mortgage loans for Wells Fargo Tower - Los Angeles, KPMG Tower, One California Plaza and Park Place I, our mortgage and mezzanine loans require interest-only payments on a monthly basis with principal due at maturity. Our Wells Fargo Tower mortgage loan requires monthly payments of interest only until July 2006 when monthly principal payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule begin. Our KPMG Tower mortgage loan requires monthly payments of interest only until November 2009 when monthly principal payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule begin. Our One California Plaza mortgage loan requires monthly payments of interest only until November 2007 when monthly principal payments based on a 26-year amortization schedule begin. Our Park Place I mortgage loan requires monthly payments of interest only until December 2009 when monthly principal payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule begin.
As of September 30, 2005, of our total secured debt of $3,390.4 million, $490.0 million may be prepaid with no penalty, $1,645.6 million may be defeased after various lockout periods (as defined in the underlying loan agreements), $1,209.6 million contain restrictions that would require the payment of prepayment penalties for the acceleration of outstanding debt if not paid on or after various dates (as specified in the underlying loan agreements) and $45.2 million may not be prepaid or defeased.
In connection with financing the CommonWealth Properties (“CWP”) Portfolio acquisition, we obtained approximately $1,032.2 million in fixed-rate mortgage debt with a weighted average rate of 5.19% (including the assumption of the $115.0 million 777 Tower fixed-rate mortgage), $104.9 million in variable-rate mortgage debt at LIBOR plus 2.0% to 2.25% and assumed the $40.0 million 777 Tower variable-rate mortgage at LIBOR plus 0.90%. To fund a portion of the CWP Portfolio acquisition, Maguire Properties Holdings I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, completed a $450.0 million, five-year financing (the “Term Loan”) with Credit Suisse First Boston (“CSFB”). The Term Loan has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% and requires quarterly principal payments of $1.125 million, the first of which was due June 30, 2005 and extends through December 31, 2009, with the remaining outstanding principal balance due at maturity on March 15, 2010. The Term Loan is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership.
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Also in connection with the issuance of the Term Loan, CSFB originated a new $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility, which replaced our prior $100.0 million revolving credit facility. Our new revolving credit facility currently bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%, or CSFB’s base rate plus 0.75%, and matures on March 15, 2009. The interest rate margin on the revolving credit facility may be increased or decreased by 0.25% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The new revolving credit facility is guaranteed by Maguire Properties Holdings I, LLC. In addition, the Term Loan and new revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries, and are secured by deeds of trust on Cerritos Corporate Center I and II, Plaza Las Fuentes, the WestinÒ Pasadena Hotel, 755 South Figueroa, 200 Burchett and Pacific Arts Plaza West (an affiliate of Pacific Arts Plaza) properties, the undeveloped land parcel at Washington Mutual Irvine Campus and pledges of equity interest in substantially all property owning subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2005, we had outstanding borrowings of $31.0 million on our new revolving credit facility.
Certain of our mortgage and other secured loans are guaranteed by our Operating Partnership and/or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries.
On March 15, 2005, we repaid a portion of the Park Place II bridge loan with the net proceeds from a new $100.0 million, seven-year, fixed-rate, interest-only mortgage on Park Place II at 5.39%.
In connection with our acquisition of San Diego Tech Center on April 6, 2005, we obtained a $133.0 million, ten-year, interest-only mortgage loan with a fixed rate of 5.70%.
In connection with the refinancing of our credit facility and the repayment of a portion of the bridge loan at Park Place II, we wrote off approximately $1.2 million in unamortized deferred loan costs, which are presented as loss from early extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
As a result of the dispositions of One Renaissance Square and Austin Research Park I and II, described in Note 10, we repaid the $42.0 million debt secured by Austin Research Park I and II and the $103.6 million debt secured by One Renaissance Square was assumed by the buyer. We used the net proceeds from the dispositions to pay down $35.0 million of our Term Loan. These early repayments have prefunded the remaining quarterly principal payments required under our Term Loan through maturity. We wrote off approximately $1.1 million in unamortized deferred loan costs, $0.7 million of which is included in loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The terms of our secured revolving credit facility and Term Loan include certain restrictions and covenants, which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends (as discussed below), the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition of assets. The terms also require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum amounts of tangible net worth, interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and maximum leverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, except to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we will not during any four consecutive fiscal quarters make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of 95% of funds from operations, as defined, for such period, subject to certain other adjustments. At September 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Our separate assets and liabilities of the property specific subsidiaries are neither available to pay the debts of the consolidated entity nor constitute obligations of the consolidated entity, respectively.
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to make an aggregate $591.8 million of indebtedness available for guarantee by Mr. Maguire, certain entities owned or controlled by Mr. Maguire and entities controlled by certain former senior executives of our Predecessor. As of September 30, 2005, $591.8 million of our debt is subject to such guarantees.
6. Discontinued Operations |
|
In March 2005, we classified Glendale Center, 700 North Central, 801 North Brand, One Renaissance Square and Austin Research Park I and II as “held for sale,” upon our decision to market these properties for sale. As of September 30, 2005, we have sold One Renaissance Square and Austin Park I and II. In July 2005, we made the decision not to market the Glendale properties for sale and reclassified them out of discontinued operations to continuing operations and made a cumulative depreciation adjustment for the year in the third quarter. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 144 “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” One Renaissance Square and Austin Research Park I and II are included in discontinued operations from March 15, 2005, the date these properties were acquired as part of the CWP portfolio acquisition. Austin Research Park I and II and One Renaissance Square were sold on June 16, 2005 and June 29, 2005, respectively. No gain or loss on the sale of these properties is included in income from discontinued operations since the amount of the CWP portfolio purchase price allocated to these properties was equal to the sales value.
The following table summarizes the income and expense components that comprise income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands). There were no discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004:

We have adopted the Amended and Restated 2003 Incentive Award Plan of Maguire Properties, Inc., Maguire Properties Services, Inc. and Maguire Properties, L.P. (the “Incentive Award Plan”). The Incentive Award Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock appreciation rights and other incentive awards to our employees, directors and consultants, the Operating Partnership and MP Services (and their respective subsidiaries). We have reserved a total of 4,816,861 shares of our common stock for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Award Plan, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the plan. Of this amount, 659,211 shares of restricted stock were issued upon consummation of our IPO. The holders of these shares have full voting rights and will receive any dividends paid. Of the 659,211 shares of restricted stock issued, 343,421 shares were fully vested upon consummation of our IPO while 263,158 shares vest equally over five years (approximately 52,632 per year) and 52,632 vest equally over three years (17,544 per year) on the anniversary date of our IPO. On June 27, 2004, the first anniversary of our IPO, we issued 141,414 shares of restricted stock. Of these 141,414 shares of restricted stock, 28,283 were fully vested upon issuance and 113,131 vests equally over four years (28,283 per year) on the anniversary date of our IPO. The holders of these shares have full voting rights and will receive any dividends paid.
On March 31, 2005, we granted 9,218 shares of restricted stock at $23.88 (the price of one share of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of March 31, 2005) to employees (excluding certain members of senior management) representing a one time grant under our Incentive Award Plan, that vest in four quarterly installments on March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2005. Between March 31, 2005 and July 1, 2005, we granted 10,575 shares of restricted stock at a range from $23.88 to $28.34 to employees (excluding certain members of senior management) representing an annual grant under our Incentive Award Plan, that vest in three equal annual installments on December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Between March 31, 2005 and July 1, 2005, we granted 10,410 shares of restricted stock at a range from $23.88 to $28.34 to employees (excluding certain members of senior management) representing annual grants under our Incentive Award Plan, which vests if our common stock closes at a price equal to or above 116% of the grant date stock price for 20 consecutive days. As of September 30, 2005, 9,768 shares of restricted stock have vested.
Effective April 1, 2005, our board of directors adopted a five-year compensation program for senior management. The program, which measures our performance over a 60-month period (unless full vesting of the program occurs earlier) commencing April 1, 2005, provides for awards to be earned if we attain certain performance measures based on annualized total shareholder returns on an absolute and relative basis.
The amount payable for the absolute component of the senior management awards is based upon the amount by which the annualized total shareholder return over the period exceeds 9%. The amount payable for the relative component requires us to obtain an annualized total shareholder return that is above the greater of our annualized total stock return over 9% or the NAREIT office index during the same period. Management is to receive a total award in an amount between 2.5% and 10% of the excess return over a base of $23.91 per share.
The awards are to be paid in common stock, or at our option, in cash; however it is our intent to settle with stock. The awards may vest in whole or in part on March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. In no case shall the total value of the awards exceed $50.0 million. We are accounting for the awards as equity classified awards under FAS 123(R). The aggregate fair value of the awards at the date of the grant was approximately $7.0 million, which we are recording as compensation expense, on a straight-line basis,

over the derived requisite service period of five years. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the compensation expense related to the cost of the senior management compensation program was $313,000.

The remaining 30,000 options vest in three equal annual installments on June 27, 2004, 2005, and 2006.

8. Derivative Instruments |
|
On March 4, 2005, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge an anticipated ten-year, interest-only mortgage loan starting in October 2006 in connection with the $273.0 million refinancing of 777 Tower at a fixed rate of 5.84%. The notional amount of the swap is $261.9
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
million, effective in October 2006 with a strike rate of the forward-starting seven-year swap rate of 4.895%.
On March 15, 2005, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement to limit the LIBOR portion of the interest rate on $62.9 million in mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by Wateridge Plaza to 4.75%. On March 15, 2005, we also entered into an interest rate cap agreement to limit the LIBOR portion of the interest rate on $42.0 million in mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by Austin Research Park I and II to 4.90%. Austin Research Park I and II was sold on June 16, 2005 and the interest rate cap was subsequently sold on July 26, 2005.
As of September 30, 2005, we have no interest rate swap agreements to fix the current floating interest rate associated with our existing debt. The net amounts received or paid under our swaps were recognized as an adjustment to interest expense when such amounts were incurred or earned. Our objective in using interest rate swap agreements has been to effectively convert floating rate debt into fixed rate debt, and thereby limit our exposure to interest rate movements.
SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended and interpreted by SFAS 138 and SFAS 149, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income, outside of earnings and subsequently recognized as earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2005 was the fair value of the forward-starting interest rate swap outstanding, which was approximately $(2.0) million, net of minority interests of $(0.4) million and $7.0 million of deferred gain on the swaps that we sold in July 2004 and October 2003, net of minority interests of $1.3 million. The deferred gains on sale of swaps will be recognized as a reduction of interest expense over the original lives of the swaps as required by SFAS 133.
On March 15, 2005, we completed the acquisition of an office portfolio of ten properties and three separate land parcels from Fifth Street Properties, LLC (“FSP”), an affiliate of CommonWealth Partners, LLC (“CWP”), for $1.51 billion. We funded the purchase price through approximately $1,022.1 million in new mortgage and mezzanine financing, the assumption of loans aggregating $155.0 million from New York Life Insurance Company and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company encumbering the 777 Tower property and proceeds from our $450.0 million variable-rate Term Loan. The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. We expect to finalize our purchase price allocation no later than 12 months from the date of acquisition.
The acquired properties are located in the states of California, Arizona, Colorado and Texas. The portfolio consisted of properties totaling approximately 5.0 million rentable square feet and developable land that management believes can support approximately an additional 1.7 million square feet of office

On April 6, 2005, we completed the acquisition of San Diego Tech Center, a 38-acre technological office and research and development campus located in Sorrento Mesa, San Diego County, California, from CalWest Industrial Holdings, LLC. The transaction was structured to qualify as a 1031 like-kind exchange to defer the capital gain on the potential sale of another of our properties. The purchase price of San Diego Tech Center was approximately $185.0 million, excluding acquisition costs, which was funded with a $7.0 million draw from our $100.0 million credit facility, $47.0 million cash on hand and a $133.0 million, ten-year mortgage financing with a fixed interest rate of 5.70%. The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. We expect to finalize our purchase price allocation no later than 12 months from the date of acquisition.
On May 31, 2005, we completed the acquisition of the World Trade Center garage, located in downtown Los Angeles, California from Bank of America, N.A. The purchase price of the garage was approximately $20.0 million, excluding acquisition costs, which was funded with $13.0 million from our $100.0 million credit facility and $7.0 million cash on hand. The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. We expect to finalize our purchase price allocation no later than 12 months from the date of acquisition.
10. Property Dispositions |
|
On June 16, 2005, we sold Austin Research Park I and II, an office project featuring two four-story buildings totaling approximately 272,000 square feet located in Austin, Texas for $55.0 million to Equity Office Properties. In connection with the sale of the property, we entered into a lease with the buyer to lease 22,897 rentable square feet of vacant space at $14.08 per square feet through April 2007. We have the option to terminate this lease in the event that we sublease the space to a tenant or tenants for an equal amount of rent. Our total potential obligation of approximately $1.0 million under this lease was offset against the sales value recognized and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005.
On June 29, 2005, we sold One Renaissance Square, an approximate 492,000 square foot office building located in Phoenix, Arizona for $128.8 million to a subsidiary of Pauls Core Plus Venture, L.P, including the assumption of $103.6 million of outstanding mortgage debt. In connection with the sale, we entered into a lease obligation with the buyer to lease 37,220 rentable square feet of vacant space at
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
$25.10 per square feet through March 2007. We have the option to terminate this lease in the event that we sublease the space to a tenant or tenants for an equal amount of rent. Our total potential obligation of approximately $1.6 million under this lease was offset against the sales value recognized and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005.
On October 26, 2005, we agreed to form a joint venture with Macquarie Office Trust to own, operate and acquire office properties located in Southern California. The new venture, Maguire Macquarie Office, will initially own six office properties located primarily in Southern California. The aggregate gross asset value of the initial portfolio is $1.195 billion and we expect that formation of the joint venture will generate net proceeds to us of approximately $350 million. We will retain a 20% ownership interest in the venture and will be responsible for all day to day operations of the properties. We will receive fees for asset management, property management, leasing, construction management, acquisitions, dispositions and financing. Additionally, we will be entitled to outperformance distributions based on the results of the venture.
The following table details the rentable square feet per property as of September 30, 2005:

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
| |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or that management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,”“believe,”“expect,”“intend,”“may,”“might,”“plan,”“estimate,”“project,”“should,”“will,”“result” and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on tenants’ financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate); risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments; failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully; risks associated with joint ventures; risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to such activities); risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates and volatility in the securities markets; costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws; potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination; risks associated with our potential failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and possible adverse changes in tax and environmental laws; and risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in other sections of this report on Form 10-Q. In addition, we discussed a number of material risks in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
We are a full service real estate company, and we operate as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We are the largest owner and operator of Class A office properties in the Los Angeles Central Business
District (“LACBD”) and have a significant presence in the John Wayne Airport submarket of Orange County and other major regional submarkets. We are primarily focused on owning and operating high-quality office properties in the high-barrier-to-entry Southern California market. Our office portfolio includes 22 properties located in nine submarkets in Los Angeles County, Orange County and San Diego County and one property in Denver Colorado. Our office properties are typically leased to high credit tenants for terms ranging from five to ten years. As of September 30, 2005, investment grade rated tenants generated 45.7% of the annualized rent of our office portfolio, and nationally recognized professional service firms generated an additional 24.3% of the annualized rent of our office portfolio. The weighted-average remaining lease term of our office portfolio tenants was approximately 5.5 years as of September 30, 2005.
As of September 30, 2005, we own:
Ÿ | twenty-two office properties (69 buildings) with approximately 14.7 million net rentable square feet; |
| |
Ÿ | a 350-room hotel with 266,000 square feet; |
| |
Ÿ | total on- and off-site structured and surface parking of approximately 10.1 million square feet, which in total accommodates a capacity of more than 32,500 vehicles; and |
| |
Ÿ | undeveloped land parcels that we believe can support up to 11.8 million net rentable square feet of office, retail, structured parking and residential uses. |
| |
Through Maguire Properties Services, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, we also earn customary fees for the management and leasing of:
Ÿ | a 1.4 million square foot office, hotel and retail property located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area (Solana); |
| |
Ÿ | an 84,000 square foot office building in Santa Monica, California (1733 Ocean Avenue); and |
| |
Ÿ | a 257,000 square foot office building in Pasadena, California (Western Asset Plaza). |
| |
We hold options to acquire 1733 Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, California, Western Asset Plaza in Pasadena, California and a 12.5% interest in Water’s Edge in West Los Angeles, California. We periodically evaluate market and property conditions to determine if conditions warrant consideration of the acquisition of the applicable properties.
We receive income primarily from rental revenue (including tenant reimbursements) from our office properties, and to a lesser extent, from our hotel property and on- and off-site parking garages. We also receive income from providing management, leasing and real estate development services to our option and certain other properties.
Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations |
|
As of September 30, 2005, our office portfolio was 91.1% leased to 562 tenants. Approximately 1.0% of our leased square footage expires during the remainder of 2005 and approximately 8.3% of our leased square footage expires during 2006. Our leasing strategy for the remainder of 2005 focuses on negotiating renewals for leases scheduled to expire during the year, and identifying new tenants or existing tenants seeking additional space to occupy the spaces for which we are unable to negotiate such renewals. Additionally, we will seek to lease currently vacant space in our office and retail properties with lower occupancy rates, including 700 North Central (77.1% leased at September 30, 2005), US Bank Tower (83.4% leased at September 30, 2005), 801 North Brand (85.3% leased at September 30, 2005),
Regents Square I and II (85.5% leased at September 30, 2005) and Pacific Arts Plaza (86.2% leased at September 30, 2005).
Our corporate strategy is to own and develop high-quality office buildings concentrated in strong, supply-constrained markets. Our leasing strategy focuses on executing long-term leases with creditworthy tenants. Factors we consider when we lease space include creditworthiness of the tenant, the length of the lease, the rental rates to be paid, costs of tenant concessions, operating costs and real estate taxes, vacancy and general economic factors. We also intend to proceed with new developments, when prudent, utilizing our existing developable land.
The success of our leasing and development strategy will be dependent upon the general economic conditions in the United States and Southern California, and more specifically in the Los Angeles metropolitan, Orange County and San Diego County areas. We are optimistic that market conditions will continue to improve during 2005 as evidenced by reduced vacancy rates in 2004 and the first nine months of 2005. However, further improvement is contingent upon continued strong job growth in our markets.
We believe that, on a portfolio basis, rental rates on leases expiring through the remainder of 2005 are at or below those currently being achieved in our markets. In light of strengthening markets, on a portfolio basis, we believe that our in-place rental rates scheduled to expire in 2006 and 2007 have contractual rental rates that are at or below market rental rates that will be prevailing at that time.
We have completed the renovation of guest rooms at the Westin® Pasadena Hotel. The operating performance of the hotel was negatively impacted during the third quarter of 2004 due to out of service rooms and reduced demand caused by the renovation. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004 and continuing into the first nine months of 2005, we experienced improvements in overall hotel operating performance as a result of these renovations. The renovation of the public space cost approximately $3.7 million and was completed by the end of October 2005. This is not expected to have a significant adverse impact to the hotel results during the remainder of 2005.
We believe that new real estate investments will have a significant impact on our future results of operations, including the acquisition of CommonWealth’s Fifth Street (“CWP”) portfolio on March 15, 2005. The CWP portfolio consisted of ten Class A office properties (24 buildings) totaling approximately 5.0 million square feet of net rentable office space located in Southern California, Texas, Arizona and Colorado as well as land and development agreements that we believe can support up to 1.7 million square feet of mixed-use improvements. Since our IPO, we have completed the acquisition of approximately $2.8 billion of office, retail and development properties, including the April 6, 2005 acquisition of San Diego Tech Center, a 38-acre office campus including 647,000 square feet and developable land that we believe can support approximately 1.2 million square feet. During June 2005, we sold Austin Research Park I and II and One Renaissance Square for gross sales prices of $55.0 million and $128.8 million (including the assumption of $103.6 million in mortgage debt), respectively. We also intend to sell residential entitled land at Park Place during 2006. The timing of dispositions and the price achieved will impact our ability to return to a leverage level more consistent with our long-term ratio objectives.
Related Party Transactions |
|
We have receivables due from entities controlled by Robert F. Maguire III, our Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, in the amount of $2.5 million and $3.9 million as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. These receivables are for management fees, development fees, leasing commissions and other operating expenses reimbursements and were current as of September 30, 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies |
|
Adoption of FAS 123(R) |
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS 123 (Revised) “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”). FAS 123(R) is a revision of FAS 123, as amended, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“FAS 123”) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. FAS 123(R) requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
On April 1, 2005, we adopted FAS 123(R) using a modified prospective application, as permitted under FAS 123(R). Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, we are required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
Prior to the adoption of FAS 123(R), we applied APB 25 to account for our stock-based awards. Under APB 25, we generally only recorded stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock, which amounted to $0.5 million and $1.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. Under the provisions of APB 25, we were not required to recognize compensation expense for the cost of stock options. Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, with the adoption of FAS 123(R), we recorded stock-based compensation expense for the cost of stock options, restricted stock and performance awards (together, “Equity Classified Awards”). Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $1.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
See Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the adoption of FAS 123(R).
Current Submarket Information |
|
LACBD, California. There have been signs of improvement in market conditions in the LACBD submarket during the past twenty-one months, as demonstrated by decreasing vacancy and increasing rental rates as well as steady tenant interest in our LACBD projects. These trends are expected to continue throughout 2005 and third-party reports show continued positive net absorption and slight increases in rental rates. On September 30, 2005, our LACBD portfolio was 90.0% leased, with approximately 726,500 square feet available for lease. Throughout the remainder of 2005, we will be focused on increasing occupancy in our LACBD properties, primarily re-leasing the 162,827 square foot space vacated by Wells Fargo Bank at the end of March (approximately 113,000 square feet is yet to be released). In addition, we will be focusing on re-leasing the following large blocks of currently leased spaces, which are expected to be available in 2006: a 260,498 square foot Los Angeles Unified School District (“LAUSD”) lease in KPMG Tower, which expires in June 2006 and a 152,166 square foot Jones, Day, Reavis and Pogue lease in Gas Company Tower, which expires in November 2006. Jones, Day, Reavis and Pogue’s lease is above current market rates and LAUSD’s lease is below current market rental rates.
Los Angeles County (excluding LACBD), California. Los Angeles County economic indicators are positive as the county’s Gross Metropolitan Product shows strong growth, which is projected to continue through 2005. In the past twenty-one months, third-party reports have shown decreasing vacancy rates and positive net absorption in this submarket. On September 30, 2005, our Los Angeles County (excluding LACBD) portfolio was 94.3% leased, with approximately 94,600 square feet available for lease.
Orange County, California. Positive trends continue in Orange County as third-party reports show sharply decreasing vacancy rates and increasing rental rates with market conditions projected to tighten even further over the next year. On September 30, 2005, our Orange County portfolio was 93.2% leased, with approximately 221,400 square feet available for lease. Our primary leasing focus in this submarket will be to increase occupancy at Pacific Arts Plaza, a property also acquired with the CWP portfolio, which currently is 86.2% leased.
San Diego County, California. San Diego County continues to perform well with continuing trends of strong absorption, decreasing vacancy and increasing upward pressure on rental rates. On September 30, 2005, our San Diego County portfolio was 91.8% leased, with approximately 116,000 square feet available for lease. As we just entered into the submarket as of March 15, 2005, we are focused on increasing occupancy at all four of our newly acquired properties.
Results of Operations |
|
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2004. |
|
Our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 were significantly affected by our acquisitions in both years. As a result, our results are not comparable from period to period. Therefore, in the table below, we have also separately presented the results of our “Same Properties Portfolio.”
Our Same Properties Portfolio includes the results of Gas Company Tower, Plaza Las Fuentes, the Westin® Pasadena Hotel, 808 South Olive Garage, KPMG Tower, US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower - Los Angeles, Cerritos Corporate Center Phases I and II, One California Plaza, Park Place I, Glendale Center and our property management, leasing and development operations. We owned each of these for the entire period presented in both years.
Our “Total Portfolio” amounts also include the results of Park Place II from July 23, 2004, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus from November 22, 2004, Lantana Media Campus from December 16, 2004 and San Diego Tech Center from April 6, 2005, the dates we acquired such properties. In addition, our Total Portfolio amounts include the results of the properties acquired as part of the CWP portfolio acquisition as of March 15, 2005, which are 777 Tower, Pacific Arts Plaza, Mission City Corporate Center, Regents Square I and II, Wateridge Plaza, 801 North Brand, 700 North Central, and Wells Fargo Center (Denver, Colorado). These properties are collectively referred to as the “Acquisition Properties.”

Total portfolio rental revenue increased by $30.7 million, or 61.7%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties. Rental revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased by $0.4 million, or 0.8%, primarily due to the March 2005 expiration of a 162,827 square foot lease at US Bank Tower. This lease expiration was partially offset by the subsequent leasing of a portion of the vacated US Bank Tower space.
Total portfolio tenant reimbursement revenue increased $7.8 million, or 37.6%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
Tenant reimbursement revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $1.7 million, or 8.5%, primarily due to reduced rental property and operating expenses primarily as a result of lower insurance premiums and real estate taxes and to a lesser extent, the March 2005 lease expiration of a 162,827 square foot lease at US Bank Tower.
Hotel operations revenue increased $1.7 million, or 40.3%, due to increases in both our occupancy rates and our average daily rate. Average occupancy increased to 81.9% from 57.9%, the average daily room rate increased to $155.35, or 7.7%, from $144.19 and revenue per available room increased to
$127.15, or 52.3%, from $83.49, all compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of the room renovations completed during the third quarter of 2004.
The 15.3% increase in hotel operating and maintenance expenses was primarily due to increased occupancy.
Total portfolio parking revenue increased $3.2 million, or 36.7%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties. Parking revenue for the Same Properties Portfolio increased $0.3 million, or 3.9%, primarily due to portfolio-wide increases in contractual parking rates in July 2005 offset by decreased parking revenue due to the March 2005 lease expiration of a 162,827 square foot lease at US Bank Tower.
Management, Leasing and Development Services to Affiliates |
|
Total portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue to affiliates increased $0.9 million, or 328.0%. Current year results include a $756,000 leasing commission (which represents the second half installment of a $1.5 million leasing commission) earned at Solana. No comparable amounts were received in the prior period.
Interest and Other Revenue |
|
Total portfolio interest and other revenue increased $0.4 million, or 99.5%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties and a $0.1 million lease termination fee received from a tenant in US Bank Tower during the three months ended September 30, 2005. No comparable amount was received in the prior period. In addition, there was a small increase in interest income.
Rental Property Operating and Maintenance Expense |
|
Total portfolio rental property operating and maintenance expense increased by $9.3 million, or 49.6%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
Rental property operating and maintenance expense for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $0.9 million, or 4.7%, primarily due to reductions in insurance premiums and lower property employee headcount. Insurance premiums, which had increased significantly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, have been on the decline. We also restructured our property and liability insurance programs portfolio-wide in August 2005 and 2004, which has continued to generate additional savings.
Total portfolio real estate taxes increased $4.0 million, or 60.7%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
Real estate tax expense for our Same Store Properties decreased $0.9 million, or 14.7%, primarily due to the finalization of reassessments resulting from our IPO for the LACBD properties at amounts lower than previously accrued estimates.
Total portfolio parking expenses increased $0.6 million, or 24.5%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
Parking expense for our Same Store Properties decreased $0.3 million primarily due to economies of scale realized at Park Place I resulting from our acquisition of Park Place II in July 2004.
General and Administrative and Other Expense |
|
Total portfolio general and administrative and other expense increased $0.3 million, or 8.3%. Current year results include increased expenses due to additional corporate employees hired and related costs as a result of the growth in our infrastructure due to acquisitions made since our IPO, increased stock compensation costs and adoption of FAS 123(R).
Total portfolio ground lease expense remained flat during the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense |
|
Total portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $26.4 million, or 116.1%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties as well as a $2.6 million increase in our Same Properties Portfolio primarily due to a $0.9 million cumulative adjustment made to Glendale Center, which was reclassified out of discontinued operations in the current quarter and a $0.4 million increase for Cerritos, which was classified as discontinued operations and therefore not subject to depreciation during the three months ended September 30, 2004.
Total portfolio interest expense increased $27.8 million, or 171.8%, primarily due to financing costs associated with the Acquisition Properties and a $3.5 million increase related to the Same Properties Portfolio.
The $3.5 million, or 23.5%, increase in the Same Properties Portfolio is primarily related to the KPMG Tower mortgage, which was refinanced with a larger loan at a fixed rate of 5.14% in November 2004 compared to a variable rate that averaged 3.44% in the three months ended September 30, 2004, and an increase in LIBOR rates on the $280.0 million Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive variable-rate loans. In addition, the November 2004 refinancing of the Park Place I loan at a higher interest rate and loan amount and an increase in borrowings on the line of credit contributed to an increase in interest expense. These increases were partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in amortization of deferred gain from the sale of the $250.0 million fixed-rate swap of our Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive debt during the three months ended September 30, 2005 with no comparable amount in the three months ended September 30, 2004.
Minority interests attributable to loss was $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to minority interests attributable to income of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, due to a $24.3 million reduction in income.
Results of Operations |
|
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004. |
|
Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 were significantly affected by our acquisitions in both years. As a result, our results are not comparable from period to period. Therefore, in the table below, we have also separately presented the results of our “Same Properties Portfolio.”
Our Same Properties Portfolio includes the results of Gas Company Tower, Plaza Las Fuentes, the Westin® Pasadena Hotel, 808 South Olive Garage, KPMG Tower, US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower - Los Angeles, Cerritos Corporate Center Phases I and II, One California Plaza, Glendale Center and our property management, leasing and development operations. We owned each of these for the entire period presented in both years.
Our “Total Portfolio” amounts include the results of Park Place I from April 14, 2004, Park Place II from July 23, 2004, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus from November 22, 2004, Lantana Media Campus from December 16, 2004 and San Diego Tech Center from April 6, 2005, the dates we acquired such properties. In addition, our Total Portfolio amounts include the results of the properties acquired as part of the CWP portfolio acquisition as of March 15, 2005, which are 777 Tower, Pacific Arts Plaza, Mission City Corporate Center, Regents Square I and II, Wateridge Plaza, 801 North Brand, 700 North Central and Wells Fargo Center (Denver, Colorado). These properties together with Austin Research Park I and II (sold on June 16, 2005) and One Renaissance Square (sold on June 29, 2005), which are included in income from discontinued operations, are collectively referred to as the “Acquisition Properties.”

Total portfolio rental revenue increased by $82.5 million, or 60.7%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties. Rental revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio was relatively flat between periods primarily due to the March 2005 expiration of a 162,827 square foot lease at US Bank Tower, offset by revenue recognized as a result of subsequent leasing of a portion of the vacated US Bank Tower space and slight increases in occupancy in our LACBD portfolio.
Total portfolio tenant reimbursement revenue increased $19.5 million, or 32.8%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
Tenant reimbursement revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $3.8 million, or 6.5%, primarily due to rental property and operating expense decreases as a result of lower insurance premiums, real estate taxes, and more efficient operations and to a lesser extent, the loss of revenue from a significant tenant at US Bank Tower whose lease expired in March 2005.
Hotel operations revenue increased $2.9 million, or 19.6%, due to increases in both our occupancy rates and our average daily rate. Average occupancy increased to 82.8% from 72.5%, the average daily
room rate increased to $152.77, or 9.3%, from $139.85 and revenue per available room increased to $126.50, or 24.9%, from $101.40, all compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of the room renovations completed during the third quarter of 2004.
The 8.4% increase in hotel operating and maintenance expenses was primarily due to increased occupancy.
Total portfolio parking revenue increased $8.3 million, or 33.6%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties, and to a lesser extent, an increase in occupancy and contractual parking rates across our portfolio in July 2004, partially offset by the loss of revenue from a significant tenant at US Bank Tower whose lease expired in March 2005.
Management, Leasing and Development Services to Affiliates |
|
Total portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue to affiliates increased $0.5 million, or 25.4%, primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in leasing commissions earned from Solana during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to leasing commissions earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. This was partially offset by no development fees earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the development fees earned from Western Asset Plaza during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Interest and Other Revenue |
|
Total portfolio interest and other revenue increased $0.9 million, or 50.9%. Interest and other income for the Same Properties portfolio increased $0.4 million, or 25.1%. The increase is primarily due to interest earned on a restricted cash deposit that secures the Washington Mutual Secured loan with no comparable amounts in the prior year period.
Rental Property Operating and Maintenance Expense |
|
Total portfolio rental property operating and maintenance expense increased by $22.0 million, or 43.0%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
Rental property operating and maintenance expense for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $2.9 million, or 6.6%, primarily due to lower insurance premiums and lower property employee headcount. Insurance premiums, which had increased significantly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, have been on the decline. We also restructured our property and liability insurance programs portfolio-wide in August 2004, which resulted in significant savings. In addition, upon our renewal of the property and liability insurance policies in August 2005, our premiums decreased further, resulting in additional savings. We have also seen decreases in electricity costs portfolio-wide due to the installation of more efficient equipment. In addition, we have seen portfolio-wide decreases in expenses due to more efficient operations and economies of scale.
Total portfolio real estate taxes increased $12.5 million, or 71.4%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
Real estate tax expense for our Same Store Properties decreased $0.7 million, or 4.5%, primarily due to the finalization of reassessments resulting from our IPO for the LACBD properties at amounts lower than previously accrued estimates.
Total portfolio parking expenses increased $2.1 million, or 30.9%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
General and Administrative and Other Expense |
|
Total portfolio general and administrative and other expense increased $2.1 million, or 16.0%, as a result of the growth in our business since our IPO.
We have added staff and infrastructure since our IPO to accommodate the $2.6 billion in net acquisitions completed since November 2003 (representing an 8.5 million increase in square feet under management, or approximately 140% since our IPO), resulting in increased compensation and administrative costs. We have also incurred significantly higher consulting and professional fees associated with corporate governance, with lower costs in the prior period.
Total portfolio ground lease expense remained flat during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense |
|
Total portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $60.0 million, or 98.5%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties as well as a $4.8 million increase in our Same Properties Portfolio due to increased tenant improvements, lease commissions and other deferred lease costs.
Total portfolio interest expense increased $67.1 million, or 147.2%, primarily due to financing costs associated with the Acquisition Properties and a $5.5 million increase related to the Same Properties Portfolio.
The $5.5 million, or 13.1%, increase in the Same Properties Portfolio is primarily related to the KPMG Tower mortgage, which was refinanced with a larger loan at a fixed rate of 5.14% in November 2004 compared to a variable rate that averaged 3.13% in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, and an increase in LIBOR rates on the $280.0 million Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive variable-rate loans, offset by $1.9 million more amortization of deferred gain from the sale of the $250.0 million fixed-rate debt swap on our Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
In connection with financing the CWP portfolio acquisition, we obtained approximately $1,032.2 million in fixed-rate mortgage debt with a weighted average rate of 5.19% (including the assumption of the $115.0 million, 777 Tower fixed-rate mortgage), obtained $104.9 million in new variable-rate mortgage debt at a weighted average rate of LIBOR + 2.15%, assumed the $40.0 million 777 Tower variable-rate mortgage at LIBOR plus 0.90% and obtained a variable-rate term loan at LIBOR plus 1.75%, all on March 15, 2005.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we repaid $9.0 million of principal on the fixed-rate debt secured by Wells Fargo Center, located in Denver, Colorado. In connection with the sales of Austin Research Park I and II and One Renaissance Square, we repaid $42.0 million of debt secured by Austin Research Park I and II while $103.6 million of debt secured by One Renaissance Square was assumed by the buyer. With the net sale proceeds, we repaid $35.0 million of the principal on the Term
Loan. In addition, we obtained $133.0 million in fixed-rate, interest-only mortgage financing at an interest rate of 5.70% and we borrowed $20.0 million on our secured line of credit during 2005 in connection with the acquisitions of San Diego Tech Center and the World Trade Center garage on April 6, 2005 and on May 31, 2005, respectively.
In connection with the acquisitions of Park Place I on April 14, 2004, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus on November 22, 2004 and Lantana Media Campus on December 16, 2004, we obtained or refinanced $374.0 million in fixed-rate mortgage financing at a weighted average rate of 5.29%. In connection with the acquisition of Park Place II on July 23, 2004, we obtained a $140.0 million bridge loan at LIBOR plus 1.75 (4.62% at June 30, 2005). Effective March 15, 2005, we repaid $96.0 million of the Park Place II bridge loan with the net proceeds from a $100.0 million, fixed-rate mortgage at 5.39%.
Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt |
|
Total portfolio loss on extinguishment of debt relates to the write-off of unamortized loan costs related to the March 2005 replacement of our secured credit facility, the partial repayment of debt secured by Park Place II, one of our Acquisition Properties, on March 15, 2005 and the $35.0 million pay down of our Term Loan in June 2005.
Minority Interests Attributable to Continuing Operations |
|
Minority interests attributable to loss from continuing operations was $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to minority interests attributable to income from continuing operations of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to a $53.0 million reduction in income from continuing operations. In addition, we incurred a full nine months of preferred dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to a partial period of dividends in the corresponding period in 2004 since our preferred stock offering was completed on January 23, 2004. Preferred stock dividends are deductions from income from continuing operations in the minority interests calculations.
Total portfolio loss from discontinued operations is primarily due to a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.7 million relating to the write-off of unamortized loan costs related to the debt secured by Austin Research Park I and II and One Renaissance Square, which were sold on June 16, 2005 and June 29, 2005, respectively.
We calculate funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, extraordinary items, real estate related depreciation and amortization (including capitalized leasing expenses, tenant allowances or improvements and excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results of operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. FFO also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP).
The following table reconciles our FFO to our net (loss) income (in thousands except for per share amounts):

In connection with financing the CWP Portfolio acquisition, we obtained approximately $1,032.2 million in fixed-rate mortgage debt with a weighted average rate of 5.19% (including the assumption of the $115.0 million 777 Tower fixed-rate mortgage), obtained $104.9 million in new variable-rate mortgage debt at LIBOR plus 2.0% to 2.25% and assumed the $40.0 million 777 Tower variable-rate mortgage at LIBOR plus 0.90%. To fund a portion of the CWP Portfolio acquisition, Maguire Properties Holdings I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, completed a $450.0 million, five-year financing (the “Term Loan”) with Credit Suisse First Boston (“CSFB”). The Term Loan has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% and requires quarterly principal payments of $1.125 million beginning June 30, 2005 through December 31, 2009, with the remaining outstanding principal balance due at maturity on March 15, 2010. The Term Loan is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership.
On June 16, 2005, we sold Austin Research Park I and II, an office project featuring two four-story buildings totaling approximately 272,000 square feet located in Austin, Texas for approximately $55.0 million to Equity Office Properties. We used the proceeds from the sale to pay off $42.0 million in mortgage debt and $11.0 million in Term Loan debt. On June 29, 2005, we sold One Renaissance Square, an approximately 492,000 square foot office building located in Phoenix, Arizona for $128.8 million to a subsidiary of Pauls Core Plus Venture, L.P, including the assumption of $103.6 million outstanding mortgage debt. We used the net proceeds from the sale to pay off $24.0 million in Term Loan debt. Both assets were acquired on March 15, 2005 as part of the $1.5 billion CWP office portfolio acquisition and had been held for sale from the date of acquisition. The prepayments of our Term Loan resulted in the pre-funding of the remaining required quarterly principal payments through maturity.
In connection with the issuance of the Term Loan, CSFB originated a new $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility, which replaces our prior $100.0 million revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility currently bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%, or CSFB’s base rate plus 0.75%, and matures on March 15, 2009. The interest rate margin on the revolving credit facility may be increased or decreased by 0.25% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The new revolving credit facility is guaranteed by Maguire Properties Holdings I, LLC. In addition, the Term Loan and new revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries, and are secured by deeds of trust on Cerritos Corporate Center I and II, Plaza Las Fuentes, the WestinÒ Pasadena Hotel, 755 South Figueroa, 200 Burchett and Pacific Arts Plaza West properties, the undeveloped land at Washington Mutual Irvine Campus and pledges of equity in substantially all property owning subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2005, we had borrowings of $31.0 million outstanding on our new revolving credit facility.
On April 6, 2005, we funded the $185.0 million acquisition of San Diego Tech Center with $7.0 million from our $100.0 million revolving credit facility, $47.0 million cash on hand and a $133.0 million, ten-year, interest-only mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.70%.
Certain of our mortgage and other secured loans are guaranteed by our Operating Partnership and/or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries.
On October 26, 2005, we agreed to the formation of a joint venture with Macquarie Office Trust to own, operate and acquire office properties located in Southern California. The new venture, Maguire-Macquarie Office, will initially own six office properties located primarily in Southern California. The aggregate gross asset value of the initial portfolio is $1.195 billion and we expect that formation of the joint venture will generate net proceeds to us of approximately $350 million. We will retain a 20% ownership interest in the venture and will be responsible for all day to day operations of the properties. We will receive fees for asset management, property management, leasing, construction management, acquisitions, dispositions and financing. Additionally, we will be entitled to out performance distributions based on the results of the venture.
The following table details the rentable square feet per property as of September 30, 2005:
Properties | | Location | | Rentable Square Feet |
| | | | |
One California Plaza | | Los Angeles, CA | | | 984,363 | |
Cerritos Corporate Center | | Cerritos, CA | | | 326,535 | |
Washington Mutual Campus | | Irvine, CA | | | 414,595 | |

| | Total | | | 3,843,295 | |
__________
*Stadium Gateway is owned by Macquarie Office Trust. |
As of September 30, 2005, we had $155.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, including $125.0 million in restricted cash, compared to $135.6 million in cash and cash equivalents including $71.1 million in restricted cash, as of December 31, 2004. Restricted cash primarily consists of interest-bearing cash deposits and cash impound accounts for real estate taxes and insurance and leasing reserves as required by several of our mortgage loans, along with $45.2 million that secures the Washington Mutual other secured loan.
Our consolidated debt is $3.39 billion as of September 30, 2005. Our total debt to market capitalization is approximately 64.5% (based on the share price of one common stock at $30.05 as of September 30, 2005 as listed on the New York Stock Exchange).
Our separate assets and liabilities of the property specific subsidiaries are neither available to pay the debts of the consolidated entity nor constitute obligations of the consolidated entity, respectively.
We plan to take steps to achieve a debt to total market capitalization level of less than 60% as quickly and as prudently as possible. We are also focused on achieving and maintaining a fixed charge coverage ratio at or above 2.0. Our primary strategy to achieve these objectives, as well as repay our Term Loan, will be to utilize a combination of various liquidity sources available to us including:
Ÿ | net proceeds from the joint venture with Macquarie Office Trust ; |
| |
Ÿ | net proceeds from non-strategic or non-income producing assets; |
| |
Ÿ | proceeds from the sale of residential entitled land at Park Place; |
| |
Ÿ | net proceeds from refinancing the mortgage loan on 777 Tower; |
| |
Ÿ | net proceeds from refinancing the mortgage loan on Gas Company Tower; and |
| |
Ÿ | raising institutional equity capital. |
| |
We expect to finance our operations, non-acquisition-related capital expenditures and long-term indebtedness repayment obligations primarily with internally generated cash flow and borrowings under the new revolving credit facility. We believe these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity needs over the next twelve months, including recurring non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures and upgrades to our hotel, debt service requirements, dividend and distribution payments, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
We reserved approximately $25.1 million in restricted cash accounts from the net proceeds of the CWP portfolio mortgages to fund capital expenditures obligations in connection with existing tenant leases and anticipated costs in connection with leasing activity we expect to incur on the CWP portfolio during 2005 and 2006. We anticipate that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash flows from operations and restricted cash accounts, will be sufficient to fund these capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2005, $21.0 million was remaining of these reserves.
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity and capital requirements such as scheduled principal maturities, development costs, property acquisitions costs, if any, and other non-recurring capital expenditures through net cash provided by operations, refinancing of existing indebtedness, potential sales of ownership interests in our existing properties and the issuance of long-term debt and equity securities. We have a shelf registration statement on file with the SEC dated September 3, 2004 in order to facilitate the issuance of equity securities.
In May 2005, we obtained a $273 million fixed-rate conditional loan commitment to refinance 777 Tower in October 2006 at the then prevailing seven-year swap rate plus a spread of 0.949%. On March 4, 2005, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement in connection with this anticipated refinancing that will effectively fix this loan at 5.844%.
On July 29, 2005, we entered into a $458.0 million conditional loan commitment to refinance our Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive garage properties in August 2006 with a new $458.0 million, ten-year, fixed-rate, interest-only mortgage loan at 5.35% including the estimated cost of the forward commitment.
After the Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower refinancings and the expected repayment of the Term Loan with net proceeds of these financings and planned non-strategic asset sales or joint ventures, we expect our floating-rate debt to comprise less than ten percent of our total consolidated debt.
We are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we intend to make, but are not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to preferred stockholders, common stockholders and Unit holders from cash flow from operating activities. All such distributions are at the discretion of the board of directors. We may be required to use borrowings under the credit facility, if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our REIT status. We consider market factors and our performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels. Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders and Unit holders are invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities, which are consistent with our intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Since our IPO, we have paid quarterly dividends on our common stock and Units at a rate of $0.40 per common share and Unit, equivalent to an annual rate of $1.60 per common share and common Unit. Since January 23, 2004, we have paid quarterly dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock at a rate of $0.4766 per share of preferred stock.
As of September 30, 2005, we had approximately $3.39 billion of outstanding consolidated debt. This indebtedness was comprised of mortgages secured by twenty properties (the US Bank Tower, Gas Company, Wells Fargo - Los Angeles and KPMG Towers, 808 South Olive Garage, One California Plaza, Park Place I, Park Place II (two mortgages), Washington Mutual Irvine Campus, Lantana Media Campus, Wells Fargo Center - Denver, Pacific Arts Plaza, 777 Tower, Regents Square I and II,
Wateridge Plaza, Mission City Corporate Center, Glendale Center, San Diego Tech Center, 801 North Brand and 700 North Central), three mezzanine loans secured by a pledge of the equity interests of the fee owners of 808 South Garage and Gas Company Tower and Wateridge Plaza, and a term loan guaranteed by Maguire Properties Holdings I, LLC, a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and secured by deeds of trust on Cerritos Corporate Center I and II, Plaza Las Fuentes, the WestinÒ Pasadena Hotel, 755 South Figueroa, 200 Burchett, the undeveloped land parcel at Washington Mutual Irvine Campus and Pacific Arts West, an affiliate of Pacific Arts Plaza. The weighted average interest rate on this indebtedness as of September 30, 2005 was 5.19% (based on the 30-day LIBOR rate at September 30, 2005 of 3.86%). As of September 30, 2005, our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately 64.5% of our total market capitalization of $5.3 billion (based on a common stock price of $30.05 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2005). Our ratio of debt and preferred stock to total market capitalization was approximately 69.2%. As of September 30, 2005, approximately $872.9 million, or 25.7%, of our total consolidated debt was variable-rate debt. As of September 30, 2005, approximately $2,517.5 million, or 74.3%, of our total consolidated debt was subject to fixed interest rates, all of which, except the $45.2 million Washington Mutual secured loan, are subject to fixed interest rates for a minimum of four years. Total market capitalization as of September 30, 2005 includes the book value of our consolidated debt, the liquidation preference of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and the market value of 44,166,190 shares of our common stock and 9,637,508 Units.
The table below summarizes our debt, at September 30, 2005 (in thousands):

___________
(1) | Annual debt service for our floating rate debt is calculated based on the 30-day LIBOR rate at September 30, 2005, which was 3.86%. |
| |
(2) | Assuming no payment has been made on the principal in advance of its due date. |
| |
(3) | On July 29, 2005, we obtained a $458.0 million conditional loan commitment to refinance the Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive garage debt in August 2006 at an effective interest rate of 5.35%, including the cost of the forward commitment. |
| |
(4) | As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 7.92% during the term of the loan, excluding extension periods. Subsequently, we sold a similar interest rate cap instrument, effectively canceling out the 7.92% LIBOR cap. |
| |
(5) | A one-year extension is available. |
| |
(6) | As required by this loan, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 3.5% during the term of the loan, excluding extension periods. Subsequently, we sold a similar interest rate cap instrument, effectively canceling out the 3.5% LIBOR cap. |
| |
(7) | This loan must be repaid on the maturity date of the Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive garage mortgage financing if the mortgage is not extended. |
| |
(8) | This loan is subject to a LIBOR floor of 2%. This loan also requires a monthly “interest floor differential” payment during any month in which LIBOR is less than 2% per annum; such payment must be made until the principal balance of the Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive Garage senior mezzanine loan no longer exceeds $20.0 million, and is equal to the positive difference between 2% and LIBOR, times a notional amount that is initially $10.0 million, but which decreases dollar for dollar as the first $10.0 million of senior mezzanine loan principal is repaid. |
| |
(9) | There are seven individual rates for this mortgage with interest rates ranging from 4.50% to 4.83% with an average interest rate of 4.68%. |
(10) | This loan requires monthly payments of interest until July 2006, and amortizes on a 30-year schedule thereafter. |
| |
(11) | This loan requires monthly payments of interest until November 2009, and amortizes on a 30-year schedule thereafter. |
| |
(12) | This loan requires monthly payments of interest until December 2009, and amortizes on a 30-year schedule thereafter. |
| |
(13) | This loan requires monthly payments of interest only until November 2007, and amortizes on a 26-year schedule thereafter. |
| |
(14) | On May 2, 2005, we obtained a $273.0 million fixed-rate conditional loan commitment to refinance 777 Tower in October 2006 at the then prevailing seven-year swap rate plus a spread of 0.949%. On March 4, 2005, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement in connection with this anticipated refinancing that will effectively fix this loan at 5.844%. |

(15) | Net of loan discount of $0.5 million as of September 30, 2005. |
| |
(16) | As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 4.75% during the term of this loan, excluding extension periods. |
| |
(17) | On September 27, 2005, $10.0 million of mortgage debt was reclassified as mezzanine debt. There was no effect on the overall balance and interest rates. |
| |
(18) | This note payable is collateralized with a letter of credit fully secured by an interest bearing cash deposit. The note and related accrued interest are expected to be repaid from the proceeds of the cash deposit. |
During the third quarter we began site preparation construction at Park Place on a 575,000 square foot office building and two parking garages with a parking capacity of approximately 5,000 vehicles. Completion is targeted for the first quarter of 2007 for the office building and the fourth quarter of 2006 for the parking garages. The total cost of the development is currently estimated to be approximately $240.0 million. We have incurred $13.7 million of pre-development costs and project that we will spend approximately $20.0 million (expected to be funded through a construction loan) of the remaining $226.3 million of the budgeted development costs during the remainder of 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, two significant leases were signed and as a result, the project is approximately 47% leased. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we commenced pre-development activities at Lantana Media Campus and Mission City Corporate Center.
The following table provides information with respect to our contractual obligations at September 30, 2005, including the maturities and scheduled principal repayments of our secured debt and interest on our fixed-rate debt, and provides information about the minimum commitments due in connection with our ground lease obligations. The table does not reflect interest payments on variable rate debt nor does it reflect available debt extension options (in thousands):

___________
(1) | A one-year extension option available for $250,000. |
| |
(2) | We have obtained a commitment to refinance $250,000 of this debt in August 2006. |
(3) | Maturity accelerated to 2007 for $30,000 if the Gas Company Tower mortgage and junior mezzanine debt is not extended to 2008. |
| |
(4) | We have obtained a commitment to refinance $30,000 of this debt in August 2006. |
| |
(5) | We have obtained a commitment to refinance $155,000 of this debt in October 2006. |
| |
(6) | As of September 30, 2005, 74.3% of our debt was contractually fixed. The information in the table above reflects our projected interest rate obligations for the fixed-rate payments based on the contractual interest rates and scheduled maturity dates. The remaining 25.7% of our debt bears interest at variable rates and the variable rate payments are based on LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 0.824% to 6.625%. The interest payments on the variable rate debt have not been reported in the table above because we cannot reasonably determine the future interest obligations on our variable rate debt as we cannot predict what LIBOR rates will be in the future. As of September 30, 2005, the one-month LIBOR was 3.86%. |
| |
(7) | Includes interest and principal payments. |
| |
(8) | Includes master lease obligations for Austin Research Park and One Renaissance Square. See Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. |
Our credit facility, Term Loan and certain other secured debt agreements contain covenants and restrictions requiring us to meet certain financial ratios and reporting requirements. Some of the more restrictive covenants include minimum debt service coverage ratios, a maximum total liabilities to total assets ratio, a maximum total secured debt to total assets ratio, a minimum cash flow to debt and fixed charges ratio, a minimum consolidated tangible net worth and a limitation of development activities as compared to total assets. Non-compliance with any one or more of the covenants and restrictions could result in the full or partial principal balance of the associated debt becoming immediately due and payable.
We had no off balance sheet items as of September 30, 2005. We own 100% of our office, hotel and parking garage properties subject only to certain ground and airspace leases.
Comparison of Cash Flows for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 |
|
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $11.3 million. The increase was primarily due to positive net operating cash flow from the properties acquired during the fourth quarter of 2004, the CWP portfolio acquired in March 2005 and the San Diego Tech Center acquired in April 2005.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $1.2 billion primarily due to the acquisitions of the CWP portfolio on March 15, 2005, San Diego Tech Center on April 6, 2005 and the World Trade Center Garage on May 31, 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we acquired Park Place for approximately $260.0 million (including debt assumed of $164.0 million) and Park Place II for approximately $215.0 million. Cash used to fund restricted cash accounts increased $51.3 million primarily due to escrow accounts required under the mortgage loans obtained in connection with acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first half of 2005. In addition, we paid $5.1 million more in the current period for real estate improvements and paid pre-development costs at Park Place of $10.9 million. Such increases were partially offset by $78.2 million in net proceeds from the sales of Austin Research Park I and II and One Renaissance Square.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $1.1 billion. The increase was primarily due to $1.78 billion in new mortgage, term and other borrowings incurred to finance the acquisitions of the CWP portfolio in March 2005, San Diego Tech Center in April 2005 and the World Trade Center garage in May 2005. We also refinanced $100.0 million of property level debt at Park Place II. In connection with these borrowings, we incurred $14.7 million in debt issuance costs. In addition, we borrowed $31.0 million on our secured line of credit with no borrowings in the prior year. These increases were partially
offset by the repayment of the $42.0 million debt secured by Austin Research Park I and II and the $35.0 million pay down of the Term Loan with the net proceed from the sales of Austin Research Park I and II and One Renaissance Square. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we borrowed $140.0 million to finance the acquisition of Park Place II. In addition, we sold $250.0 million of our preferred stock in January 2004 with no comparable activity in the current period.
Substantially all of our office leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above. Our hotel property is able to change room rates on a daily basis, so the impact of higher inflation can often be passed on to customers. However, a weak economic environment may restrict our ability to raise room rates to offset rising costs.
| QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
| |
Our future income, cash flows and fair values of financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.
As of September 30, 2005, we had outstanding approximately $3,390.4 million in consolidated debt of which approximately $872.9 million, or 25.7%, was variable-rate debt. On March 4, 2005, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge an anticipated ten-year, interest-only mortgage loan starting in October 2006 in connection with the anticipated $273.0 million refinancing of 777 Tower at a fixed rate of 5.84%. The notional amount of the swap is $261.9 million, effective in October 2006 with a strike rate of the forward-starting seven-year swap rate of 4.895%. On July 29, 2005, we entered into a $458.0 million forward-starting conditional interest rate commitment to refinance our Gas Company Tower and World Trade Center garage properties in August 2006 with a new $458.0 million, ten-year, fixed-rate, interest-only mortgage loan at 5.35%, including the estimated cost of the forward commitment.
To determine fair value, the fixed-rate debt is discounted at a rate based on an estimate of current lending rates, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the note’s collateral. At September 30, 2005 the fair value of the fixed-rate debt is estimated to be $2,469.4 million, compared to its carrying value of $2,517.5 million.
If interest rates were to increase by 10%, or 50 basis points, the increase in interest expense on our $872.9 million in variable-rate debt would decrease future annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $4.4 million. A 50 basis points increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our $2,517.5 million principal amount of fixed-rate debt by $69.1 million and the fair value of our forward-starting interest rate swap agreement would increase by $7.3 million. If interest rates were to decrease by 10%, or 50 basis points, the decrease in interest expense on our $872.9 million in variable-rate debt would increase our future annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $4.4 million and would increase the fair value of our $2,517.5 million principal amount of fixed-rate debt by approximately $71.5 million and the fair value of our forward-starting interest rate swap agreement would decrease by $7.6 million.
These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of the magnitude discussed above, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.
The table below lists our principal derivative instruments and their fair values as of September 30, 2005 (in thousands):

| CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
| |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting. We may make changes in its internal control processes from time to time in the future.

Tax Litigation Matter |
| |
We are Petitioner in a tax litigation matter, which was filed in the United States Tax Court on September 18, 2000, and which relates to depreciation of the cost of certain development rights that two of our Predecessor entities paid to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles in connection with the development of US Bank Tower and Gas Company Tower. The IRS has asserted that these costs should be treated as non-depreciable costs associated with the land. The United States Tax Court has issued a “memorandum findings of fact and opinion.” The Court held that in each case the payment made to the Community Redevelopment Agency represented both a payment for a “variation” to build each building and a payment comparable to “zoning” change. The amount allocated to the “variation” is depreciated as a cost of developing each project. The amount allocated to the zoning change is a cost allocable to the land and is not subject to depreciation. Based on the result, we will have less annual tax depreciation by an amount that is not material to our financial condition or results of operations. A computation for entry of a decision in the matter is being prepared. Once a decision is entered, the parties to the case have 90-days in which to file an appeal to the Court of Appeals. A decision as to whether to file an appeal has not yet been made.
Other Litigation or Claims |

In the ordinary course of our business, we are frequently subject to tort claims and other claims and administrative proceedings, none of which we currently believe would have a material adverse effect on us.
