The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include all of the accounts of Maguire Properties, Inc., the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote discussions normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Project costs associated with the development and construction of a real estate project are capitalized as construction in progress. In addition, interest, loan fees, real estate taxes, general and administrative expenses that are directly associated with and incremental to our development activities and other costs are capitalized during the period in which activities necessary to get the property ready for its intended use are in progress, including the pre-development and lease-up phases. Once the construction of the building shell of a real estate project is completed, the costs capitalized to construction in progress are transferred from land held for development and construction in progress to land and buildings and improvements on the consolidated balance sheets as the historical cost of the property. As of September 30, 2006, we have incurred $126.6 million of pre-development costs. Interest capitalized for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 was $4.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Interest capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 was $10.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Gain or Losses on Disposition of Real Estate |
|
Gains or losses on the disposition of real estate assets are recorded when the recognition criteria have been met, generally at the time title is transferred and we no longer have substantial continuing involvement with the real estate asset sold.
When a property is contributed to a joint venture in which we have an ownership interest, we do not recognize a portion of the proceeds in our computation of the gain resulting from the contribution. The amount of proceeds not recognized is based on our continuing ownership interest in the contributed property that arises due to our ownership interest in the joint venture acquiring the property.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture |
|
Our investment in the Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting because we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the Joint Venture. We evaluated our investment in the unconsolidated Joint Venture and have concluded that the Joint Venture is not a variable interest entity under FIN 46(R). The partner in the Joint Venture has substantive participating rights including approval of and participation in setting operating budgets and strategic plans, capital spending, sale or financing transactions. Accordingly, we have concluded that the equity method of accounting is appropriate for our investment in the unconsolidated Joint Venture. Our investment in the Joint Venture is recorded initially at cost, as investment in the unconsolidated Joint Venture, and is subsequently adjusted for our proportionate share of net earnings or losses, cash contributions and distributions received and other adjustments, as appropriate. Any difference between the carrying amount of the investment on our consolidated condensed balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in earnings or loss of unconsolidated joint venture over 40 years. We record distributions of operating profit from the investment in unconsolidated joint venture as operating cash flow and distributions related to a capital transaction, such as a refinancing transaction or sale, as an investing activity.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates made.
On April 1, 2005, we adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (Revised) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), using a modified prospective application, as permitted under SFAS 123(R). Prior to adopting SFAS 123(R), we applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”) to account for our stock-based awards.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we recorded stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and performance awards (together, “Equity Classified Awards”). Stock-based compensation expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 was $2.4 million, $5.6 million, $1.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 increases the relevancy and comparability of financial reporting by clarifying the way companies account for uncertainty in measuring income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. This Interpretation only allows a favorable tax position to be included in the calculation of tax liabilities and expenses if a company concludes that it is more likely than not that its adopted tax position will prevail if challenged by tax authorities. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this Interpretation on our future consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 1N, “Financial Statements—Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). This staff bulletin provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. The SEC staff indicated that “registrants must quantify the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements.” If correcting a misstatement in the current year would materially misstate the current year’s income statement, the SEC staff indicates that the prior year financial statements should be adjusted. These adjustments to prior year financial statements are necessary even though such adjustments were appropriately viewed as immaterial in the prior year. If we determine that an adjustment to our prior year financial statements is required upon the adoption of SAB 108 and do not elect to restate previous financial statements, then we must recognize the cumulative effect of applying SAB 108 in the fiscal 2007 beginning balances for the affected assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the fiscal 2007 opening balance in retained earnings. We do not expect that the impact of this guidance will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

We recognize revenue on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, we evaluate whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. If we are the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If we are not the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes (i.e., the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduce revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space. The determination of the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. We consider a number of different factors in determining the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:
• | whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; |
| |
• | whether the tenant or landlord retain legal title to the improvements; |
| |
• | the uniqueness of the improvements; |
| |
• | the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and |
| |
• | who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements. |
The determination of who owns the tenant improvements for accounting purposes is subject to significant judgment. In making that determination we consider all of the above factors. However, no single factor is determinative in reaching a conclusion.
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due, pursuant to the underlying leases, is included in deferred rents, and contractually due but unpaid rents are included in rents and other receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status, as well as certain industry or specific credit considerations. If estimates of collectibility differ from the cash received, then the timing and amount of our reported revenue could be impacted. Credit risk is mitigated by the high quality of the existing tenant base, reviews of prospective tenant’s risk profiles prior to lease execution and continual monitoring of our tenant portfolio to identify potential problem tenants.
Tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and other recoverable costs are recognized in the period that the expenses are incurred. Parking income is recognized in the period the revenue is earned. Lease termination fees, which are included in other income in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations, are recognized when the related leases are canceled, the leased space has been vacated and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.

Hotel revenues are recognized when the services are rendered to the hotel guests. Property management fees are based on a percentage of the revenue earned by a property under management and are recorded on a monthly basis as earned. Lease commission revenue is recognized when legally earned under the provisions of the underlying lease commission agreement with the landlord. Revenue recognition generally occurs 50% upon lease signing, when the first half of the lease commission becomes legally payable with no right of refund, and 50% upon tenant move in, when the second half of the lease commission becomes legally payable with no right of refund. In circumstances where the landlord has a right of refund or no legal obligation to pay if the tenant does not move in, we defer revenue recognition until the tenant moves in or the landlord no longer legally has a right of refund. Development fees are recognized as the real estate development services are rendered using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.
We must make subjective estimates related to when our revenue is earned and the collectibility of our accounts receivable affecting minimum rent, deferred rent, expense reimbursements, lease termination fees and other income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, tenant concentrations, tenant creditworthiness, and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income, and recognizing rental revenue as earned in one period versus another would result in higher or lower net income for a particular period.

We have receivables for management fees, development fees, leasing commissions and other operating expense reimbursements from entities controlled by Mr. Maguire in the amount of $1.8 million and $0.9 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. These receivables are included in Due from affiliates in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and were current as of September 30, 2006.
As of September 30, 2006, net receivables due from the Joint Venture were $7.6 million which primarily represents our net working capital for the period prior to the January 5, 2006 closing of the Joint Venture transaction, which remained with the contributed properties to satisfy our pre-closing obligation in accordance with the contribution agreements. This balance also includes reimbursements for routine management expenses under our property management agreement with the Joint Venture.

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, 2006, our Operating Partnership redeemed a total of 587,863 Units upon instruction from limited partners for an equivalent number of shares. Neither we nor our Operating Partnership received any proceeds from the issuance of the common stock to limited partners.

On August 7, 2006, we completed a $458.0 million mortgage refinancing with Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. for the Gas Company Tower and World Trade Center Garage properties. The new mortgage is a ten-year, interest-only, fixed rate loan that bears interest at 5.102% and matures on August 11, 2016. The proceeds were used to pay off the existing mortgage of $280.0 million and pay down the Term Loan in the amount of $165.0 million. In connection with the payoff of the existing mortgage, we recognized a $2.0 million loss from early extinguishment of debt due to a write-off of unamortized loan costs and a $3.2 million gain (included in other income) related to the early amortization of the Gas Company Tower swap sold in July 2004. In addition, we recognized $1.8 million in loss from early extinguishment of debt due to a write-off of unamortized loan costs related to the Term Loan.
On September 29, 2006, we completed a $240.0 million construction loan financing among Eurohypo AG, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent, and certain lenders signatory thereto for the purpose of funding costs pertaining to the construction of a 530,000 square foot office building and two parking garages with a parking capacity of approximately 6,200 vehicles at the Park Place campus at 3161 Michelson Drive, Irvine, California. The construction loan will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 2.25%, and will mature on September 30, 2008, with three one-year extension options. Please see Note 8 regarding our purchase of an interest rate cap agreement related to this loan.
As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, one-month LIBOR was 5.32% and 4.39%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of our debt was 5.36% as of both September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
As of September 30, 2006, of our total secured debt of $2,790.6 million, $223.5 million may be prepaid with no penalty, $1,969.7 million may be defeased after various lockout periods (as defined in the underlying loan agreements) and $597.4 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).

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 CommonWealth Partners (“CWP”) portfolio acquisition purchase price allocated to these properties was equal to the sales value. In accordance with 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.

We have established 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, performance awards, deferred stock, stock payments, dividend equivalents, stock appreciation rights and other incentive awards to our employees, officers, directors and consultants and those of the Operating Partnership and MP Services (and their respective subsidiaries). We have reserved a total of 4,816,861 shares of our common

(Unaudited)
stock for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Award Plan, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the plan.
Effective April 1, 2005, our board of directors adopted an equity-based compensation program for senior management. The program, which measures our performance over a 36-to-60-month period (unless awards under the program vest earlier in connection with a change in control of the company) 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 awards are to be paid in common stock, or at our option, in cash. We intend to settle these awards in common stock. The awards may vest in whole or in part on March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 or earlier in the event of a change in control of the company. We are accounting for the awards as equity classified awards under SFAS 123(R). The aggregate fair value of the awards at the dates of grant was $10.1 million, which is being recorded as compensation expense, on a straight-line basis, over the derived requisite service period of five years.
On July 1, 2006 we granted 1,964 shares of restricted common stock at $35.61 (the price of one share of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of July 3, 2006) to employees (excluding certain members of senior management) representing a grant under our Incentive Award Plan.

remaining contractual term for the 307,100 outstanding stock options was 6.4 years with a total intrinsic value of $4.2 million as of September 30, 2006 and the total compensation cost not yet recognized is approximately $233,000, which will be recognized through June 2009.
On August 1, 2006, we entered into a definitive agreement with Robert F. Maguire, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Maguire was granted a performance award (“Performance Award”) under our Incentive Award Plan. The Performance Award represents an incentive bonus that will become vested and earned based upon Mr. Maguire’s continued employment as our Chief Executive Officer and the achievement of specified performance goals tied to our company’s total shareholder return.
More specifically, the Performance Award will vest as follows:
· | If Mr. Maguire remains continuously employed as our Chief Executive Officer until July 13, 2010 and we achieve a compound annual total shareholder return equivalent to at least 15% during the period commencing on July 14, 2006 and ending on July 13, 2010, then the Performance Award will vest as of July 13, 2010 in an amount equal to 10% of our excess shareholder value created during that period; or |
| |
· | If (i) a change of control, as determined under the Agreement, occurs prior to July 13, 2010 and Mr. Maguire has remained continuously employed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company until the date of such change in control and (ii) the company achieves a compound annual total shareholder return equivalent to at least 15% during the period commencing on July 14, 2006 and ending on the date of such change of control, then the Performance Award will vest as of the date of such change of control in an amount equal to 10% of the Company’s excess shareholder value created during that period. |
| |
The vested Performance Award will be paid in shares of our common stock (subject to the limits in the Incentive Plan) or, in the discretion of the plan administrator, in cash, at the end of the performance period. We intend to settle this award in common stock. In no event will the number of shares of common stock paid pursuant to the Performance Award exceed 1,400,000 shares, and the dollar value of the Performance Award will not exceed the product of (i) 1,400,000 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment as provided by the Incentive Plan) and (ii) the fair market value of our common stock on the date the Performance Award becomes vested. The aggregate fair value of the Performance Award at the date of grant was estimated to be approximately $11.0 million. The Performance Award has been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123(R).
8. Derivative Instruments |
|
On March 5, 2005, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge an anticipated seven-year, interest-only mortgage loan starting in October 2006 in connection with the $273.0 million financing of 777 Tower that effectively fixed the rate at 5.84%. The notional amount of the swap was $261.9 million, effective in October 2006 with a strike rate of the forward-starting seven-year swap rate of 4.90%. The swap was assigned in September 2006 to the lender at a value of $4.6 million in exchange for a stated interest rate of 5.84% in the October 2006 refinancing of 777 Tower.
On September 29, 2006, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement ($42.2 million notional amount accreting to $180.0 million) to limit the interest rate on 75% of the outstanding balance of the Park Place construction loan to 5.50% during the term of the loan, excluding extension periods. The effective date of the interest rate cap is October 1, 2006.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2006 was the fair value of the interest rate cap not expensed, which was approximately $0.1 million, net of minority interest of $10,000, and $9.0 million of deferred gain on the swaps assigned in April 2006 and September 2006, net of minority interests of $1.3 million. The deferred gain on assignment of swaps will be recognized as a reduction of interest expense over the original lives of the swaps as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”).
On September 22, 2006, we purchased the building located at 701 North Brand and a 50% interest in an adjacent 1,608 car garage (we acquired the initial 50% interest in the garage as part of the CommonWealth portfolio acquisition) in Glendale for $45 million. The purchase was funded with a $33.75 million ten-year, interest-only loan from California Credit Union that bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.871%.
10. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture |
|
We own a 20% interest in the Joint Venture and are responsible for day-to-day operations of the properties. We receive fees for asset management, property management (after January 5, 2009), leasing, construction management, acquisitions, dispositions and financing. Additionally, we are entitled to out performance distributions based on the results of the Joint Venture.
As of September 30, 2006, the Joint Venture owned the following six office properties:

On October 10, 2006, we completed a $273.0 million refinancing with Bank of America, N.A. for the property located at 777 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, California. The mortgage loan is an interest-only, seven-year mortgage, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.844% and matures on November 1, 2013. On October 13, 2006, $104.0 million of the proceeds from this refinancing and $63.0 million of available cash on hand were used to repay the remaining $167.0 million outstanding on our Term Loan. Accordingly, we will record $1.0 million in loss from early extinguishment of debt during the fourth quarter related to a $0.6 million prepayment penalty and a $0.4 million write-off of unamortized loan costs related to the 777 Tower refinancing. In addition, we will record a $2.0 million loss on early extinguishment of debt during the fourth quarter due to a write-off of unamortized loan costs related to the payoff of the Term Loan.
| 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 were 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, 2005. 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.
Through Maguire Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), we own whole or partial interests in 24 office and retail projects, a 350-room hotel with 266,000 square feet, offsite parking garages and on-site structured and surface parking (“Total Office Portfolio”). Excluding the 80% interest that we do not own in Maguire Macquarie Office, LLC (the “Joint Venture”), an unconsolidated Joint Venture we own in conjunction with Macquarie Office Trust (“MOF”), our share of the Total Office Portfolio is approximately 12.7 million square feet and is referred to as our “Effective Office Portfolio.” Our Effective Office Portfolio represents our economic interest in the office and retail properties from which we derive our net income or loss, which we recognize in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The aggregate square footage of our Effective Office Portfolio has not been reduced to reflect our minority interest partners’ share of the Operating Partnership. The following table shows the property statistics for each portfolio:
| | Number of | | Total Office Portfolio | | Effective Office Portfolio | |
| | Properties | | Buildings | | Square Feet | | Parking Square Footage | | Parking Spaces | | Square Feet | | Parking Square Footage | | Parking Spaces | |

Weighted Average Leased | | | | | | | | | 89.9 | % | | | | | | | | 88.9 | % | | | | | | |
Our Total Office Portfolio includes 24 properties located in nine submarkets in Los Angeles County, Orange County and San Diego County and Wells Fargo Center - Denver. Our office properties are typically leased to high credit tenants for terms ranging from five to ten years. As of September 30, 2006, investment grade rated tenants generated 43.6% of the annualized rent of our Effective Office Portfolio, and nationally recognized professional service firms generated an additional 27.6% of the annualized rent of our Effective Office Portfolio. The weighted-average remaining lease term of our Effective Office Portfolio tenants was approximately 5.4 years as of September 30, 2006.
We also own land parcels adjacent to our Glendale properties, 777 Tower, 17885 Von Karman Avenue at Washington Mutual Irvine Campus, Lantana Media Campus, Pacific Arts Plaza, Wateridge Plaza, San Diego Tech Center and Mission City Corporate Center that we believe can support approximately 6.3 million net rentable square feet of office developments and structured parking. In addition, we own undeveloped land at Park Place II that we believe can support approximately 6.4 million net rentable square feet of office, retail, structured parking and residential uses.
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 the Joint Venture and certain properties owned by Robert F. Maguire III, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
As of September 30, 2006 the Joint Venture owned the following six office properties:
Properties | | Location | | Rentable Square Feet |
| | | | |
One California Plaza | | Los Angeles, CA | | | 990,076 | |
Cerritos Corporate Center | | Cerritos, CA | | | 326,535 | |
Washington Mutual Campus | | Irvine, CA | | | 414,595 | |
San Diego Tech Center | | San Diego, CA | | | 644,529 | |
Wells Fargo Center | | Denver, CO | | | 1,202,385 | |
Stadium Gateway | | Anaheim, CA | | | 272,826 | |
Total | | | | | 3,850,946 | |
We own a 20% ownership interest in the Joint Venture and are responsible for day-to-day operations of the properties. We receive fees for asset management, property management (after January 5, 2009), leasing, construction management, acquisitions, dispositions and financing. Additionally, we are entitled to out performance distributions based on the results of the Joint Venture.
As of September 30, 2006, our Effective Office Portfolio was 88.9% leased to 617 tenants. Approximately 2.0% of our leased square footage expires during the remainder of 2006 and approximately 6.1% of our leased square footage expires during 2007. Our leasing strategy for the remainder of 2006 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 KPMG Tower (65.4% leased at September 30, 2006), Glendale Center (80.9% leased at September 30, 2006), 801 North Brand (84.0% leased at September 30, 2006), US Bank Tower (84.7% leased at September 30, 2006) and One California Plaza, a Joint Venture property, (87.0% leased at September 30, 2006).
Our corporate strategy is to continue 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.
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 into 2007, as evidenced by reduced vacancy rates over the past several years. However, this is contingent upon continued strong job growth in our markets.
We believe that, on a portfolio basis, rental rates on leases expiring during the remainder of 2006 are above those being achieved in our markets primarily due to one lease for 152,166 square feet at Gas Company Tower that expires in November 2006 at above market rates. In light of strengthening markets, on a portfolio basis, we believe that our in-place rental rates scheduled to expire in 2007 and 2008 have contractual rental rates that are at or below market rental rates that will be prevailing at that time. However, we cannot give any assurance that leases will be renewed or that available space will be released at rental rates equal to or above the current contractual rental rates.
We believe that a portion of our company’s future growth over the next several years will come from projects currently in the development process. In 2005, we began construction at Park Place II at 3161 Michelson for an office building and two parking garages with completion targeted for the second quarter of 2007 for the parking garages and third quarter 2007 for the office building. Tenant demand has been
strong in this submarket and the project is approximately 52% pre-leased as of September 30, 2006. Our focus will be to lease up the project throughout the remainder of construction.
We also currently own additional undeveloped land that we believe can support 10.9 million square feet of development primarily located in strong submarkets including Santa Monica, the Tri-Cities, Orange County and San Diego County. We are targeting to begin construction on approximately 1.0 million square feet of space in these submarkets during 2006 and 2007. We have commenced development or pre-development activities at San Diego Tech Center, Lantana Media Campus, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus, Mission City Corporate Center, Glendale North, Wateridge Plaza, Pacific Arts Plaza and 755 Figueroa. We currently do not have any lease commitments for any of these projects. However, as economic growth has been healthy in these markets, we anticipate the prospects of leasing the projects are also strong.
We expect the funding for these developments to be provided principally from construction loans and to a lesser extent from the remaining proceeds from the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture, which we have not yet reinvested through acquisition.
We have a proactive planning process by which we continually evaluate the size, timing and scope of our development programs and, as necessary, scale activity to reflect the economic conditions and the real estate fundamentals that exist in our strategic submarkets. However, we may be unable to lease committed development projects at expected rentals rates or within projected time frames or complete projects on schedule or within budgeted amounts, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We believe that new real estate investments will have a significant impact on our future results of operations, including the 2006 acquisitions of Pacific Center located in San Diego, California and 701 North Brand located in Glendale, California. During the remainder of 2006, we will continue to endeavor to lease up our newly acquired properties with creditworthy tenants at rental rates at or above current market rates. In addition, we will continue to take advantage of greater economies of scale achieved and implement more efficient operations throughout all of the properties in our portfolio.
Related Party Transactions |
|
We have receivables for management fees, development fees, leasing commissions and other operating expense reimbursements from entities controlled by Mr. Maguire in the amount of $1.8 million and $0.9 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. These receivables are included in Due from affiliates in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and were current as of September 30, 2006.
As of September 30, 2006, net receivables due from the Joint Venture were $7.6 million which primarily represents our net working capital for the period prior to the January 5, 2006 closing of the Joint Venture transaction, which remained with the contributed properties to satisfy our pre-closing obligation in accordance with the contribution agreements. This balance also includes reimbursements for routine management expenses under our property management agreement with the Joint Venture.
Critical Accounting Policies |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
We recognize revenue on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, we evaluate whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. If we are the
owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If we are not the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes (i.e., the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduce revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space. The determination of the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. We consider a number of different factors in determining the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:
• | whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; |
| |
• | whether the tenant or landlord retain legal title to the improvements; |
| |
• | the uniqueness of the improvements; |
| |
• | the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and |
| |
• | who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements. |
The determination of who owns the tenant improvements for accounting purposes is subject to significant judgment. In making that determination we consider all of the above factors. However, no single factor is determinative in reaching a conclusion.
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due, pursuant to the underlying leases, is included in deferred rents, and contractually due but unpaid rents are included in rents and other receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status, as well as certain industry or specific credit considerations. If estimates of collectibility differ from the cash received, then the timing and amount of our reported revenue could be impacted. Credit risk is mitigated by the high quality of the existing tenant base, reviews of prospective tenant’s risk profiles prior to lease execution and continual monitoring of our tenant portfolio to identify potential problem tenants.
Tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and other recoverable costs are recognized in the period that the expenses are incurred. Parking income is recognized in the period the revenue is earned. Lease termination fees, which are included in other income in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations, are recognized when the related leases are canceled, the leased space has been vacated and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.
Hotel revenues are recognized when the services are rendered to the hotel guests. Property management fees are based on a percentage of the revenue earned by a property under management and are recorded on a monthly basis as earned. Lease commission revenue is recognized when legally earned under the provisions of the underlying lease commission agreement with the landlord. Revenue recognition generally occurs 50% upon lease signing, when the first half of the lease commission becomes legally payable with no right of refund, and 50% upon tenant move in, when the second half of the lease commission becomes legally payable with no right of refund. In circumstances where the landlord has a right of refund or no legal obligation to pay if the tenant does not move in, we defer revenue recognition until the tenant moves in or the landlord no longer legally has a right of refund.
Development fees are recognized as the real estate development services are rendered using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.
We must make subjective estimates related to when our revenue is earned and the collectibility of our accounts receivable related to minimum rent, deferred rent, expense reimbursements, lease termination fees and other income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, tenant concentrations, tenant creditworthiness, and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income, and recognizing rental revenue as earned in one period versus another would result in higher or lower net income for a particular period.
Current Submarket Information |
|
LACBD, California. As expected, the LACBD recorded 295,800 square feet of net absorption for the quarter and is moving slower than other markets. Several large blocks of space remain available in the LACBD, including space in KPMG Tower, which was vacated in June 2006 by the Los Angeles Unified School District. Tenant activity, however, remains active for smaller requirements of less than 15,000 square feet, primarily due to the formation of new professional services firms. As of September 30, 2006, our LACBD portfolio was 86.0% leased, with approximately 1,013,600 square feet available for lease. Throughout the remainder of 2006, we will be focused on increasing occupancy, primarily at KPMG Tower, which is currently 65.4% leased due to the expiration of the LAUSD lease, One California Plaza (a Joint Venture property), which is currently 87.0% leased, and Gas Company Tower, which is currently 97.4% leased, but will see a decrease in November 2006 upon the expiration of a 152,166 square foot Jones Day lease.
Los Angeles County (excluding LACBD), California. In Los Angeles County, particularly the Tri-Cities (Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank) and the L.A. West submarkets, strong tenant demand continued throughout the quarter resulting in decreased vacancy rates and increased rental rates. Strong leasing demand is projected to continue throughout 2006, particularly in Glendale, which has the highest direct vacancy rate of the Tri-Cities and the L.A. West submarkets. On September 30, 2006, our Los Angeles County (excluding LACBD) portfolio was 91.6% leased, with approximately 149,600 square feet available for lease. Throughout the remainder of 2006, we will be focused on increasing occupancy, primarily re-leasing the 70,100 square foot Time Warner space at Glendale Center, which became available during the second quarter.
Orange County, California. Orange County has continued to show signs of settling after experiencing steady growth earlier in the year. The market experienced 157,027 square feet of negative net absorption due to the expected shrinkage of mortgage companies resulting in a slight increase in vacancy levels to 7.1% countywide. Employment in Orange County continues to look optimistic with an unemployment rate of 3.3%, which is well below both the California and national averages. As of September 30, 2006 our Orange County portfolio was at 93.2% leased, with approximately 236,600 square feet available for lease. The overall outlook of the Orange County market remains optimistic with substantial growth opportunity as our average in-place rents are significantly lower than the current market.
San Diego County, California. San Diego County continues to show signs of strength and tenant demand is steady. In addition, the unemployment rate in the county remained well below both the California and national averages at 4.1%. As of September 30, 2006, our San Diego County portfolio was 94.6% leased, with approximately 100,000 square feet available for lease. Our primary leasing focus in this submarket during the remainder of 2006 will be to continue increasing occupancy at Regents Square and Pacific Center, which are currently 88.4% and 93.1% leased, respectively.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005. |
|
Our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 were significantly affected by our acquisitions and dispositions 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, World Trade Center Garage, Plaza Las Fuentes, the Westin® Pasadena Hotel, Lantana Media Campus, KPMG Tower, US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower - Los Angeles, Park Place I, Park Place II, Glendale Center, 777 Tower, 801 North Brand, 700 North Central, Pacific Arts Plaza, Regents Square, Wateridge Plaza and Mission City Corporate Center and our property management, leasing and development operations. We owned each of these for the entire period presented in both years.
References to the “Acquisition Properties” include the results of Pacific Center (acquired February 6, 2006) and 701 North Brand (acquired September 22, 2006). References to the “Joint Venture” include One California Plaza, Wells Fargo Center - Denver (a CommonWealth Partners (“CWP”) portfolio acquisition property), San Diego Tech Center, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus and Cerritos Corporate Center, which we sold to the Joint Venture on January 5, 2006 in return for a 20% interest in the Joint Venture and cash.

Total Portfolio rental revenue decreased by $14.1 million, or 17.5%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture. Rental revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased primarily due to two significant lease expirations at KPMG Tower and Glendale Center in the second quarter of 2006,
partially offset by a significant lease commencement at Park Place and increased rents from a significant tenant at Wateridge Plaza.
Total Portfolio tenant reimbursement revenue decreased $6.8 million, or 23.9%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture.
Hotel operations revenue increased $0.7 million, or 12.3%, due to improved hotel performance. The average daily room rate increased to $167.73, or 8.0%, from $155.35 and revenue per available room increased to $137.97, or 8.5%, from $127.15, all compared to the prior year period.
The 10.9% increase in hotel operating and maintenance expenses was primarily due to an increase in tax and insurance expense.
Total Portfolio parking revenue decreased $2.7 million, or 22.1%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture.
Management, leasing and development services to affiliates |
|
Total Portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue to affiliates increased $1.8 million, or 152.9%, primarily due to management and investment advisory fees and leasing commissions earned from the Joint Venture in addition to leasing commissions earned from a non-REIT property. There were no comparable amounts in the prior period.
Interest and other revenue |
|
Total Portfolio interest and other revenue increased $5.8 million, or 671.8%, primarily due to recognition of the deferred gain on sale of the Gas Company swap upon refinancing that mortgage and higher interest earned on excess Joint Venture proceeds that have not yet been deployed and that are invested in interest bearing accounts.
Rental property operating and maintenance expense |
|
Total Portfolio rental property operating and maintenance expense decreased by $4.4 million, or 15.6%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture.
Rental property operating and maintenance expense for our Same Store Properties increased $1.3 million, or 5.9%, primarily due to increased property insurance rates throughout the Same Store Properties.
Total Portfolio real estate taxes decreased $2.7 million, or 25.1%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture.
Real estate taxes for our Same Store Properties decreased $0.9 million, or 10.7%, primarily due to lower final reassessment values at certain properties acquired as part of the CWP portfolio acquisition.
Total Portfolio parking expenses increased $0.2 million, or 6.5%, primarily due to an increase in parking expense for our Same Store Properties, offset by the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture.
Parking expense for our Same Store Properties increased $0.6 million, or 22.1%, primarily due to additional parking costs incurred related to a significant lease commencement at Park Place and higher offsite parking costs at the Gas Company Tower after the sale/leaseback of the 808 South Olive garage.
General and administrative and other expense |
|
Total Portfolio general and administrative and other expense increased $4.2 million, or 96.5%. Current year results include increased expenses due to growth in our infrastructure due to 2005 acquisitions and increased stock compensation costs.
Total Portfolio ground lease expense decreased $0.5 million, or 79.6% due to the sale of One California Plaza and Cerritos Corporate Center to the Joint Venture. Ground lease expense incurred at One California Plaza and Cerritos Corporate Center are no longer consolidated.
Depreciation and amortization expense |
|
Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased $14.9 million, or 30.3%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture as well as a $3.8 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense at our Same Properties Portfolio, which is the result of a purchase accounting true-up of in-place lease value amortization for the CWP portfolio and a cumulative adjustment made to Glendale Center, which was reclassified out of discontinued operations in the prior year period.
Total Portfolio interest expense decreased $9.4 million, or 21.4%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture, lower term loan and credit facility balances and higher capitalized interest on development projects during 2006.
Loss from early extinguishment of debt |
|
Total Portfolio loss from early extinguishment of debt was $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This was due to a $2.0 million write-off of unamortized costs related to the Gas Company Tower refinancing and a $1.8 million write-off of unamortized costs related to the $165.0 million pay down of the Term Loan.
Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint venture |
|
Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint venture was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. There was no comparable amount for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Minority interests attributable to loss was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to minority interests attributable to loss of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to a $7.8 million decrease in net loss.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005. |
|
Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 were significantly affected by our acquisitions and dispositions in both years. As a result, our results are not comparable from period to period. Therefore, in the table below, we have 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, Lantana Media Campus, KPMG Tower, US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower - Los Angeles, Park Place I, Park Place II, Glendale Center and our property management, leasing and development operations. We owned each of these for the entire period presented in both years.
References to the Acquisition Properties include the results of Pacific Center (acquired February 6, 2006), World Trade Center Garage (acquired May 31, 2005), 701 North Brand (acquired September 22, 2006) and the CWP portfolio (acquired March 15, 2005). References to the “Joint Venture” include One California Plaza, Wells Fargo Center - Denver (a CWP portfolio acquisition property), San Diego Tech Center, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus and Cerritos Corporate Center, which we sold to the Joint Venture on January 5, 2006 in return for a 20% interest in the Joint Venture and cash.

Total Portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue to affiliates increased $3.6 million, or 149.8%, primarily due to management and investment advisory fees and leasing commissions earned from the Joint Venture, with no comparable activity in the prior period. In addition, current year results include $0.6 million earned for construction services at Solana, with no comparable amounts in the prior period.
Interest and other revenue |
|
Total Portfolio interest and other revenue increased $7.3 million, or 267.5%, primarily due to the recognition of $3.2 million in unamortized deferred swap gains upon the refinancing of the Gas Company Tower loan and higher interest on excess Joint Venture proceeds that have not yet been deployed, which are invested in interest bearing accounts.
Rental property operating and maintenance expense |
|
Total Portfolio rental property operating and maintenance expense decreased by $6.7 million, or 9.1%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture partially offset by the Acquisition Properties.
Total Portfolio real estate taxes decreased $3.8 million, or 12.7%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture.
Total Portfolio parking expenses increased $0.4 million, or 4.1%, primarily due to an increase in parking expense for our Same Store Properties, offset by the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture.
Parking expense for our Same Store Properties increased $0.7 million, or 9.7%, primarily due to additional parking costs incurred related to a significant lease commencement at Park Place and higher offsite parking costs at the Gas Company Tower after the sale/leaseback of the 808 South Olive garage.
General and administrative and other expense |
|
Total Portfolio general and administrative and other expense increased $8.0 million, or 52.0%. 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 due to the adoption of the Executive Equity Plan and the adoption of SFAS 123(R). In addition, we granted $1.0 million of fully vested common stock related to the hire of two new executives on June 30, 2006.
Total Portfolio ground lease expense decreased $1.6 million, or 78.9% due to the sale of One California Plaza and Cerritos Corporate Center to the Joint Venture. Ground lease expense incurred at One California Plaza and Cerritos Corporate Center (Joint Venture properties) are no longer consolidated.
Depreciation and amortization expense |
|
Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased $16.8 million, or 13.9%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture offset by the Acquisition Properties.
Total Portfolio interest expense decreased $10.8 million, or 9.6%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture, lower term loan and credit facility balances, and higher capitalized interest on development projects during 2006.
Loss from early extinguishment of debt |
|
Total Portfolio loss from early extinguishment of debt was $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This was primarily due to the payment of $3.0 million in prepayment penalties and the recognition of a $0.6 million write-off of unamortized loan fees related to the Glendale Center refinancing. In addition, we wrote off $3.0 million of unamortized loan fees related to the $248.0 million paydown of the Term Loan and $2.0 million of unamortized loan fees related to the Gas Company Tower refinancing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we wrote off $1.1 million in unamortized loan fees related to the paydown of the credit facility and $0.6 million in unamortized loan fees related to the paydown of the Term Loan.
Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint venture |
|
Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint venture was $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. There was no comparable amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Gain on sale of real estate |
|
Gain on sale of real estate was $108.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This was due to the gain recognized upon sale of an 80% interest in five previously wholly owned properties to the Joint Venture.
Minority interests attributable to income was $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to minority interests attributable to loss of $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, due to an $90.8 million increase in income primarily due to a gain on sale of properties to the Joint Venture recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and a decrease in our minority interests partners’ shares of the Operating Partnership due to conversion from Operating Partnership units to our common stock on a one-to-one basis.
Total Portfolio loss from discontinued operations decreased $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. There were no discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
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):

Liquidity and Capital Resources |
|
Available Borrowings, Cash Balances and Capital Resources |
|
We expect to finance our operations, dividends, non-acquisition-related capital expenditures and long-term indebtedness repayment obligations primarily with internally generated cash flow and borrowings under our 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 in our portfolio, debt service requirements, dividend and distribution payments, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
In connection with property acquisitions and refinancings, a portion of the loan proceeds may be reserved to fund anticipated expenditures for leasing commissions and tenant improvements for existing and new tenants. As of September 30, 2006, total cash reserves for leasing commissions and tenant improvements amounted to $37.8 million. We anticipate that these reserves, as well as our existing sources of liquidity, including cash flows from operations and restricted cash accounts will be sufficient to fund these capital expenditures.
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, net proceeds from our Joint Venture, refinancing of existing indebtedness, construction financing, 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.
As of September 30, 2006, we had $246.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, including $154.2 million in restricted cash compared to $114.1 million in cash and cash equivalents including $69.0 million in restricted cash as of December 31, 2005. Restricted cash primarily consists of interest bearing cash deposits of excess net proceeds from the Joint Venture transaction, which has not yet been redeployed, cash impound accounts for real estate taxes and insurance and leasing reserves as required by several of our mortgage loans.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we repaid $248.0 million of our Term Loan and the $83.0 million outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility with the net proceeds from the Joint Venture transaction and the refinancing of Glendale Center and Gas Company Tower. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the Joint Venture transaction to acquire Pacific Center in February 2006 and 701 North Brand in September 2006. The remaining net proceeds from the Joint Venture transaction are restricted as they are held as collateral under our Term Loan agreement and are required to be used for reinvestment purposes only. The proceeds are available for future acquisitions, to fund capital expenditures (including construction in progress) or for further debt reductions. As of October 2006, these proceeds are no longer restricted since we paid off our Term Loan.
Since the CWP portfolio acquisition in March 2005, which was funded entirely with mortgage debt and the Term Loan, we have been focused on achieving and maintaining a debt to total market capitalization level of less than 60% and a fixed charge coverage ratio at or above 2.0. As of September 30, 2006, we achieved a market capitalization level of 53.1%, a fixed charge coverage ratio before loss from early extinguishment of debt and gain on sale of real estate of 1.54 and our Term Loan balance was $167.0 million. As a result of the 777 Tower refinancing and the repayment of our Term Loan in October 2006, approximately 99% of our outstanding debt is now fixed (including hedges) at a weighted average interest rate of 5.3% for a weighted average remaining term of approximately 6.8 years. We anticipate approximately $12.0 million in annual interest savings due to the conversion of approximately $685.0 million of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt through the refinancing transactions completed since June 2006.
On September 22, 2006, we purchased the building located at 701 North Brand and a 50% interest in an adjacent 1,608 car garage (we acquired the initial 50% interest in the garage as part of the CommonWealth portfolio acquisition) in Glendale for $45.0 million. The purchase was funded with a $33.75 million ten-year, interest-only loan from California Credit Union that bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.871%.
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, 2006, we had approximately $2.79 billion of outstanding consolidated debt. This indebtedness was comprised of mortgages secured by eighteen properties, one construction loan, one mezzanine loan secured by a pledge of the equity interests of the fee owners of 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 Plaza Las Fuentes, the WestinÒ Pasadena Hotel, 755 South Figueroa, 207 Goode and the undeveloped land parcel at Pacific Arts West. The weighted average interest rate on this indebtedness as of September 30, 2006 was 5.36% (based on the 30-day LIBOR rate at September 30, 2006 of 5.32%). As of September 30, 2006, our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately 53.1% of our consolidated total market capitalization of $5.3 billion (based on a common stock price of $40.74 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2006). Our ratio of debt and preferred stock to total market capitalization was approximately 57.8%. As of September 30, 2006, approximately $326.4 million, or 11.7%, of our total consolidated debt was variable-rate debt. As of September 30, 2006, approximately $2,464.2 million, or 88.3%, of our total consolidated debt was subject to fixed interest rates. Total market capitalization as of September 30, 2006 includes the book value of our consolidated debt, the liquidation preference of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and the market value of 46,985,156 shares of our common stock and 7,405,916 Units.
The table below summarizes our debt, at September 30, 2006 (in thousands):

(1) | After the 777 Tower loan refinancing in October 2006 and the repayment of the Term Loan with the net proceeds of this financing, approximately 99% of our outstanding debt is now fixed (including hedges) at a weighted average rate of 5.3% for a weighted average remaining term of approximately 6.8 years. |

The variable-rate debt shown above bears interest at an interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR. The debt secured by our properties at September 30, 2006 had a weighted average term to initial maturity of approximately 6.3 years (approximately 6.4 years assuming exercise of extension options).

On August 1, 2006, we entered into a definitive agreement with Robert F. Maguire, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Maguire was granted a performance award (“Performance Award”) under our Incentive Award Plan.
The Performance Award represents an incentive bonus that will become vested and earned based upon Mr. Maguire’s continued employment as our Chief Executive Officer and the achievement of specified performance goals tied to our company’s total shareholder return.
More specifically, the Performance Award will vest as follows:
· | If Mr. Maguire remains continuously employed as our Chief Executive Officer until July 13, 2010 and we achieve a compound annual total shareholder return equivalent to at least 15% during the period commencing on July 14, 2006 and ending on July 13, 2010, then the Performance Award will vest as of July 13, 2010 in an amount equal to 10% of our excess shareholder value created during that period; or |
| |
· | If (i) a change of control, as determined under the Agreement, occurs prior to July 13, 2010 and Mr. Maguire has remained continuously employed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company until the date of such change of control and (ii) the company achieves a compound annual total shareholder return equivalent to at least 15% during the period commencing on July 14, 2006 and ending on the date of such change in control, then the Performance Award will vest as of the date of such change of control in an amount equal to 10% of the Company’s excess shareholder value created during that period. |
The vested Performance Award will be paid in shares of our common stock (subject to the limits in the Incentive Plan) or, in the discretion of the plan administrator, in cash, at the end of the performance period. We intend to settle this award in common stock. In no event will the number of shares of common stock paid pursuant to the Performance Award exceed 1,400,000 shares, and the dollar value of the Performance Award will not exceed the product of (i) 1,400,000 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment as provided by the Incentive Plan) and (ii) the fair market value of our common stock on the date the Performance Award becomes vested. The aggregate fair value of the Performance Award at the date of grant was estimated to be approximately $11.0 million. The Performance Award has been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123(R).
On August 7, 2006, we completed a $458.0 million mortgage refinancing with Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. for the Gas Company Tower and World Trade Center Garage properties. The new mortgage is a ten-year, interest-only, fixed rate loan that bears interest at 5.102% and matures on August 11, 2016. The proceeds were used to pay off the existing mortgage of $280.0 million and pay down the Term Loan in the amount of $165.0 million. In connection with the payoff of the existing mortgage, we recognized a $2.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt due to a non-cash write-off of unamortized loan costs and a $3.2 million gain related to the early amortization of the Gas Company Tower swap sold in July 2004. In addition, we recognized $1.7 million in loss from early extinguishment of debt due to a write-off of unamortized loan costs related to the Term Loan.
On September 29, 2006, we completed a $240.0 million construction loan financing among Eurohypo AG, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent and certain lenders signatory thereto for the purpose of funding costs pertaining to the construction of a 531,000 square foot office building and two parking garages with a parking capacity of approximately 6,200 vehicles at the Park Place campus at 3161 Michelson Drive, Irvine, California. The construction loan will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 2.25%, and will mature on September 30, 2008, with three one-year extension options.
On October 10, 2006, we completed a $273.0 million refinancing with Bank of America, N.A. for the property located at 777 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, California. The mortgage loan is an interest-only, seven-year mortgage, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.844% and matures on November 1, 2013. On October 13, 2006, $104.0 million of the proceeds from this refinancing and $63.0 million of available cash on hand were used to repay the remaining $167.0 million outstanding on our Term Loan. Accordingly, we will record $1.0 million in loss from early extinguishment of debt during the fourth quarter related to a $0.6 million prepayment penalty and a $0.4 million write-off of unamortized loan
costs related to the 777 Tower refinancing. In addition, we will record a $2.0 million loss on early extinguishment of debt during the fourth quarter due to a write-off of unamortized loan costs related to the payoff of the Term Loan.
During October 2006, the topping of the steel structure was achieved at Park Place on a 530,000 square foot office building. Completion is targeted for the third quarter of 2007 for the office building and the second quarter of 2007 for the parking garages. The total cost of the development is currently estimated to be approximately $244.0 million. We have incurred $96.1 million of development costs and project that we will spend approximately $147.9 million (to be funded through the construction loan) of the remaining amount of budgeted development costs during the remainder of 2006 and 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we continued development activity at Lantana Media Campus, Mission City Corporate Center, Glendale North, San Diego Tech Center and Washington Mutual Irvine Campus. We also commenced pre-development activities at Wateridge Plaza, Pacific Arts Plaza and 755 Figueroa.
The following table provides information with respect to our contractual obligations at September 30, 2006, 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. We were not subject to unconditional purchase obligations as of September 30, 2006. The table does not reflect interest payments on variable rate debt nor does it reflect available debt extension options (in thousands):

___________
(1) | On October 10, 2006, we refinanced $155,000 of this debt. Maturity is now November 2013. |
| |
(2) | On October 13, 2006, we repaid $167,000 of this debt. |
| |
(3) | The company's share of the unconsolidated joint venture debt is 20%. |
| |
(4) | As of September 30, 2006, 88.3% 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 11.7% of our debt bears interest at variable rates and the variable rate payments are based on LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 0.90% to 2.25%. 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, 2006, the one-month LIBOR was 5.32%. |
| |
(5) | Includes interest and principal payments. |
| |
(6) | Includes master lease obligations for Austin Research Park, One Renaissance Square and the unconsolidated joint venture. |
| |
(7) | Tenant related capital commitments based on executed leases as of September 30, 2006. |
| |
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 do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with any unconsolidated investments or joint ventures that we believe have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operation, liquidity or capital resources.
Comparison of Cash Flows for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 |
|
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $13.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to the loss of positive operating cash flow from Cerritos Corporate Center, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus, One California Plaza, San Diego Tech Center and Wells Fargo Center - Denver, the five properties sold to the Joint Venture that were wholly-owned during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. In addition, timing differences due to the payment of previously accrued operating expenses and Joint Venture liabilities incurred at the point of sale contributed to the decrease in net operating cash flow.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $1.5 billion. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.4 billion reduction in acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 2005. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we sold an 80% interest in five office properties to the Joint Venture, which generated net proceeds of approximately $343.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we sold Austin Research Park I and II and One Renaissance Square and received net proceeds of $78.2 million. This decrease in net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is offset by an increase in funding of restricted cash accounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 2005, primarily due to the funding of reserves in connection with mortgage financings obtained on Pacific Center, Glendale Center and Gas Company Tower, and a $78.7 million increase in expenditures for improvements in real estate (including $75.2 million in predevelopment costs).
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $1.4 billion. The decrease was primarily due to a $992.7 million reduction in net proceeds from mortgage loans incurred in 2005 to refinance Park Place II and to finance acquisitions of the CWP portfolio and San Diego Tech Center on March 15, 2005 and April 6, 2005, respectively. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we repaid $691.9 million of our outstanding debt, including a $248.0 million paydown of our Term Loan and repayments of our credit facility and Glendale Center and Gas Company Tower mortgage loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we repaid $253.0 million of our outstanding debt, including a $35.0 million paydown of our Term Loan, a $70.0 million paydown of our credit facility and repayments of the Park Place II and Austin Research Park I and II mortgage loans.
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, 2006, we had outstanding approximately $2,790.6 million in consolidated debt of which approximately $326.4 million, or 11.7%, was variable-rate debt.
At September 30, 2006 the fair value of our fixed-rate debt is estimated to be $2,401.3 million, compared to its carrying value of $2,464.2 million. 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.
If interest rates were to increase by 10%, or 50 basis points, the increase in interest expense on our $326.4 million in consolidated variable-rate debt would decrease future annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.6 million. A 50 basis points increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our $2,464.2 million principal amount of consolidated fixed-rate debt by $66.6 million and the fair value of our forward-starting interest rate cap agreements would increase by $1.1 million. If interest rates were to decrease by 10%, or 50 basis points, the decrease in interest expense on our $326.4 million in consolidated variable-rate debt would increase our future annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.6 million and would increase the fair value of our consolidated $2,464.2 million principal amount of fixed-rate debt by approximately $69.0 million and the fair value of our forward-starting interest rate cap agreements would decrease by $0.1 million.
In October 2006, we refinanced 777 Tower with a seven-year interest-only fixed rate mortgage using excess proceeds plus cash on hand to repay the Term Loan. Our remaining exposure to interest rate risk includes the $62.88 million mortgage on Wateridge Plaza and the $240 million 3161 Michelson construction loan, of which only $56.4 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2006. Under the terms of the Wateridge Plaza loan, we were required to purchase an interest rate cap limiting the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 4.75% through the maturity on April 9, 2007 (currently below one month LIBOR of 5.32% as of September 30, 2007). Under the terms of the 3161 Michelson construction loan, we were required to purchase an accreting interest rate cap limiting the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 5.50% on 75% of outstanding borrowing through maturity on September 30, 2008.
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.

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 Chief Executive Officer 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 Chief Executive Officer 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 Chief Executive Officer 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, 2006 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.
