The terms “Maguire Properties,” “us,” “we” and “our” as used in this report refer to Maguire Properties, Inc. Through our controlling interest in Maguire Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, and the subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, including Maguire Properties TRS Holdings, Inc. (“TRS Holdings”) and Maguire Properties Services, Inc. (the “Services Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively known as the “Services Companies”), we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate located in: the greater Los Angeles area of California; Orange County, California; San Diego, California; and Denver, Colorado. These locales primarily consist of office properties, related parking garages, a retail property and a hotel. We are a full service real estate company and we operate as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.
Through our 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 (our “Total Portfolio”). Excluding the 80% interest that we do not own in Maguire Macquarie Office, LLC (the “Joint Venture”), an unconsolidated joint venture formed in conjunction with Macquarie Office Trust (“MOF”), our share of the Total Portfolio is approximately 12.7 million square feet and is referred to as our “Effective Portfolio.” Our Effective Portfolio represents our economic interest in the office, hotel 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 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:

As of December 31, 2006, the majority of our existing portfolio is located in nine Southern California markets: the Los Angeles Central Business District (“LACBD”); the Tri-Cities area of Pasadena, Glendale and Burbank; the Cerritos submarket; the Santa Monica Professional and Entertainment submarket; the John Wayne Airport and Costa Mesa submarkets of Orange County; and the University Towne Center (“UTC”), Sorrento Mesa and Mission Valley submarkets of San Diego County. We also own one property, Wells Fargo Center, located in Denver, Colorado (a joint venture property). Our portfolio includes six office properties in the LACBD — US Bank Tower, Gas Company Tower, KPMG Tower, Wells Fargo Tower - Los Angeles, 777 Tower and One California Plaza (a joint venture property) — and four off-site parking garages. In the Tri-Cities submarket, we own the Plaza Las Fuentes office and the Westin® Pasadena Hotel properties in Pasadena and the Glendale Center, 700 North Central, 701 North Brand and 801 North Brand properties (collectively the “Glendale properties”) in Glendale. In the Cerritos submarket, we own the Cerritos Corporate Center Phase I and Phase II (“Cerritos”) (joint venture properties), collectively known as the Cingular Wireless Western Regional Headquarters. In the Santa Monica Professional and Entertainment submarket, we own the Lantana Media Campus. Our portfolio also includes Park Place I, Park Place II and the Washington Mutual Irvine Campus (a joint venture property) located in the John Wayne Airport submarket of Orange County. In the Costa Mesa submarket in Orange County, we own Pacific Arts Plaza. In the UTC submarket of San Diego County, we own Regents Square I and II. We own Wateridge Plaza and San Diego Tech Center (a joint venture property) in the Sorrento Mesa submarket of San Diego County. In the Mission Valley submarket of San Diego County, we own Mission City Corporate Center and Pacific Center.
Our office properties are typically leased to high credit tenants for terms ranging from five to ten years. As of December 31, 2006, investment grade rated tenants generated 42.3% of the annualized rent of our Effective Portfolio, and nationally recognized professional service firms generated an additional 25.7% of the annualized rent of our Effective Portfolio. The weighted-average remaining lease term of our Effective Portfolio tenants was approximately 5.4 years as of December 31, 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 6.6 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 (“Mr. Maguire”).
We were formed on June 26, 2002, and commenced operations on June 27, 2003 after completing our initial public offering (“IPO”), concurrently with the consummation of various formation transactions that consolidated the ownership of a portfolio of properties and property interests, and a substantial majority of the real estate management, leasing and development business of Maguire Partners Development, Ltd. into our Operating Partnership and our Services Companies (the “formation transactions”). Prior to our IPO, the “Maguire Organization” was comprised of Maguire Partners Development, Ltd. and more than 125 predecessor and related entities, all of which were predominately owned by, or otherwise affiliated with Mr. Maguire. The Maguire Organization did business as “Maguire Partners,” an owner, developer and acquirer of institutional-quality properties in the Los Angeles area since 1965. From inception through June 27, 2003, neither we, our Operating Partnership nor our Services Companies had any operations.
Our IPO consisted of the sale of 36,510,000 shares of common stock. On July 8, 2003, we issued an additional 5,476,500 shares of common stock as a result of the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. On January 23, 2004, we completed the offering of 10 million shares of 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (liquidation preference $25.00 per share) (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).
Pursuant to contribution agreements among the owners of a subset of the Maguire Organization (the “Predecessor”) and our Operating Partnership, our Operating Partnership received a contribution of direct and indirect interests in connection with our IPO in certain of the properties in our existing portfolio, as well as certain assets of the management, leasing and real estate development operations of the Predecessor in exchange for limited partnership units in our Operating Partnership (“Units”). As of December 31, 2006, we held 86.4% of the common Units of our Operating Partnership.
Our management team possesses substantial expertise in all aspects of real estate management, marketing, leasing, acquisition, development and finance. We directly manage the properties in our portfolio through our Operating Partnership and/or our Services Companies, except for Cerritos and Washington Mutual Irvine Campus. In addition, we manage an office, hotel and retail property located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area, a housing complex and a parking garage in the LACBD, and buildings in West Los Angeles, California, Pasadena, California and Santa Monica, California owned by Mr. Maguire, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for which we earn customary fees. The management agreements between us and the entities that own these properties will terminate if and when Mr. Maguire no longer owns an interest in these properties or is no longer bound by his non-competition agreement with us.
Our principal executive offices are currently located at 1733 Ocean Avenue, Suite 400, Santa Monica, California 90401. Our telephone number at that location is (310) 857-1100. Our website is located at http://www.maguireproperties.com. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to such reports filed or furnished pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are made available through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Since our IPO, we have paid quarterly dividends on our common stock and common Units at a rate of $0.40 per share of common stock and Unit, equivalent to an annual rate of $1.60 per share of common stock 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 Series A Preferred Stock, equivalent to an annual rate of $1.9064 per share of Series A Preferred Stock.
Investment in Maguire-Macquarie Office, LLC Joint Venture |
| |
On November 4, 2005, we contributed One California Plaza to the Joint Venture in exchange for a 95% interest and a $65.0 million unsecured promissory note issued by the Joint Venture. Concurrently, MOF contributed to the Joint Venture $5.9 million in cash and received a 5% interest in the Joint Venture. This initial contribution to the Joint Venture did not qualify as a sale under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” Accordingly, no gain was recognized on the contribution and we continued to consolidate One California Plaza as of December 31, 2005.
On January 5, 2006, we completed the series of transactions contemplated by the Joint Venture agreements. The Joint Venture transactions were comprised of the following:
· | The contribution by us to the Joint Venture of Wells Fargo Center, San Diego Tech Center, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus, Cerritos Corporate Center (“Cerritos”) and One California Plaza (remaining 75% interest) including the Joint Venture’s assumption of $661.25 million of mortgage debt secured by four of the properties, in exchange for a 20% interest in the Joint Venture and $382.0 million in cash, including $19.0 million representing a distribution to us of our 20% share in new mortgage debt issued by the Joint Venture which is secured by Cerritos as discussed below. The contribution of San Diego Tech Center excluded undeveloped land approved for 1.2 million square feet of office entitlements and the contribution of Washington Mutual Irvine Campus excluded undeveloped land approved for 150,000 square feet of office entitlements; |
| |
· | The issuance of $95.0 million in new mortgage financing by the Joint Venture secured by Cerritos, with a fixed interest rate of 5.54% and a maturity date of February 1, 2016. Our Operating Partnership provided a payment guarantee to the Joint Venture with respect to this mortgage through January 5, 2009; |
| |
· | The contribution by MOF of Stadium Gateway and cash in exchange for an 80% interest in the Joint Venture; and |
| |
· | The contribution by us of $5.6 million cash in exchange for a 20% interest in Stadium Gateway. |
| |
As a result of the Joint Venture transactions, we received net cash proceeds of $376.4 million, consisting of $363.0 million relating to MOF’s 80% acquisition of the five assets we contributed to the Joint Venture, $19.0 million representing the distribution of our 20% pro rata share of mortgage financing net proceeds issued by the Joint Venture and secured by Cerritos, net of $5.6 million in cash we paid to fund the acquisition of our 20% interest in Stadium Gateway.
In connection with the Joint Venture contribution agreements for One California Plaza, Wells Fargo Center - Denver and San Diego Tech Center, we agreed to fund certain future existing and contingent obligations, including:
· | Approximately $15.7 million in future tenant lease obligations, including tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions; and |
| |
· | Approximately $5.0 million in master lease payments through January 4, 2007 for certain vacant spaces until they are leased. |
| |
As of December 31, 2006, approximately $7.9 million of these obligations remain outstanding.
We also agreed to provide property management services to the five properties we contributed to the Joint Venture for the three-year period ending January 5, 2009 at no consideration, other than the reimbursement of direct property management expenses incurred.
In addition, $7.5 million of the purchase price is contingently refundable to MOF until January 5, 2009 if the five properties we contributed do not meet certain pre-defined annual income targets for the three-year period ended January 5, 2009. During 2006, the Joint Venture did not meet certain income targets and we paid $2.3 million to cover the shortfall.
In accordance with the Joint Venture agreements, both we and MOF have rights of first offer to co-invest in any Southern California acquisition opportunities meeting certain defined criteria that the other party intends to acquire. In addition, MOF has a right to acquire up to a 50% interest in our development projects at Washington Mutual
Irvine Campus and San Diego Tech Center at 92.5% of stabilized value, which is determined upon 90% occupancy of the project.
On February 6, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Pacific Center, a 6.4-acre office campus with two 10-story buildings located in the Mission Valley submarket of San Diego, California. The purchase price for Pacific Center was approximately $149.0 million and was paid for in cash from the net proceeds of our transaction with MOF.
On September 22, 2006, we purchased the building located at 701 North Brand and the remaining 50% interest in an adjacent 1,608 car garage (we acquired the initial 50% interest in the garage as part of the 2005 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 (the seller) that bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.87% and cash on hand.
On March 28, 2006, we sold 808 South Olive Garage (the “808 Garage”), a parking garage located in downtown Los Angeles, California, for $26.5 million to Zaytim, LLC. Certain tenants of the Gas Company Tower and US Bank Tower are required under their existing leases to purchase monthly off-site parking passes through the end of their lease terms. The Gas Company Tower and US Bank Tower have historically met this offsite parking requirement through an existing parking easement agreement between the Gas Company Tower and the 808 Garage. This easement was amended and restated (the “Amended Parking Easement”) in connection with the sale of the 808 Garage to Zaytim, LLC on March 28, 2006. In accordance with the Amended Parking Easement Agreement, the 808 Garage is obligated to provide a specified number of monthly parking spaces (initially 777 spaces, decreasing to 553 spaces on June 1, 2007 and 498 spaces on July 1, 2010 and expiring on November 8, 2011) to the Gas Company Tower in exchange for receiving specified fixed monthly payments, representing both consideration for the parking spaces provided as well as a reimbursement of a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the 808 Garage. Zaytim, LLC will receive approximately $8.6 million in consideration for the period from March 28, 2006 through November 8, 2011 from the Gas Company Tower in connection with the Amended Parking Easement Agreement.
On April 20, 2006, we completed a $121.2 million, interest-only ten-year mortgage financing with Greenwich Capital Financial secured by Pacific Center. The mortgage loan has a fixed rate of 5.76% with a maturity date of May 6, 2016. The forward-starting interest rate swap associated with this anticipated mortgage financing was assigned to the lender as part of the transaction in exchange for a lower stated interest rate of 5.76%.
On June 27, 2006, we completed a $125.0 million, interest-only ten-year mortgage refinancing with Nomura Credit and Capital secured by Glendale Center to replace our existing $80.0 million Glendale Center loan. The mortgage loan has a fixed rate of 5.82% with a maturity date of August 11, 2016. We used $33.0 million of the proceeds to paydown the $450.0 million, five-year financing (the “Term Loan”) completed in connection with the CommonWealth portfolio acquisition, discussed below.
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 5.1% 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.
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% (7.57% at December 31, 2006) and will mature on September 30, 2008, with three one-year extension options. As of December 31, 2006, $113.5 million was outstanding on the construction loan.
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 5.84% and matures on November 1, 2013. The forward-starting interest rate swap associated with this anticipated mortgage financing was assigned to the lender as part of the transaction in exchange for a lower stated interest rate of 5.76%. 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.
On December 26, 2006, we completed a $39.7 million construction loan financing with Guaranty Bank for the purpose of funding costs pertaining to the construction of a 150,000 square foot office building at the Washington Mutual Irvine campus. The construction loan will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 1.80% (7.18% at December 31, 2006), and will mature on December 30, 2008, with a one-year extension option. As of December 31, 2006, $0.5 million was outstanding on the construction loan.
On February 13, 2007, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with various entities controlled by Blackstone Real Estate Advisors (“Seller”), to acquire their rights, title and interests in 24 properties (the “Properties”). The Properties, located in Los Angeles County and Orange County, California consist of approximately 7,687,000 rentable square feet (before re-measurement) and developable land that we believe can support approximately 2,186,000 square feet of improvements. We have agreed to purchase the Properties on an as is, where is basis and with all faults and defects, without any representations or warranties, except as expressly set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The total purchase price of the Properties is approximately $2,875.0 million, to be paid in cash at closing.
Our obligation to purchase the Properties under the Purchase Agreement is subject to certain Sellers’s limited representations, warranties and covenants. The transaction is expected to close on or before April 23, 2007. In the event the transaction does not close by reason of our default, Seller may terminate the agreement, and we shall pay liquidated damages in the amount of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000). We intend to seek joint venture partners for substantially all of the assets being acquired. Depending on the timing for completing the joint ventures, we expect to initially finance the purchase of the Properties with a combination of property and corporate level debt, to the extent necessary.
On February 22, 2007, we completed a $26.8 million construction loan financing with Guaranty Bank for the purpose of funding costs pertaining to the construction of a 92,000 square foot office building at Mission City Corporate Center. The construction loan will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 1.80%, and will mature on February 22, 2009, with a one-year extension option.
On February 26, 2007, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved the appointment of Martin A. Griffiths to the position of Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Griffiths has served as our Executive Vice President, Operations since July 2006. On February 27, 2007, in connection with his appointment to Chief Financial Officer, we amended Mr. Griffiths’ employment agreement dated June 11, 2006 and changed his title to “Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Maguire Properties, Inc. and Maguire Properties, L.P.” effective as of March 2, 2007.
On February 27, 2007, we entered into a Separation Agreement with Dallas E. Lucas, pursuant to which Mr. Lucas resigned from his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective as of March 2, 2007 (the “Effective Date”). We also entered into a Consulting Services Agreement on February 27, 2007, with Mr. Lucas, pursuant to which Mr. Lucas will provide consulting services to us beginning on the Effective Date.
On February 28, 2007, we obtained a commitment to refinance the Well Fargo Tower (Los Angeles) with a new $550 million, 10-year fixed rate interest only loan from Lehman Brothers Bank FSB, that bears interest at 5.66%.
We do not engage in any foreign operations or derive any revenue from foreign sources.
We compete in the leasing of office space with a considerable number of other real estate companies, some of which may have greater marketing and financial resources. In addition, our hotel property competes for guests with other hotels, some of which may have greater marketing and financial resources than are available to us and our hotel operator, WestinÒ Hotels and Resorts.
Principal factors of competition in our primary business of owning, acquiring and developing office properties are: the quality of properties, leasing terms (including rent and other charges and allowances for tenant improvements), attractiveness and convenience of location, the quality and breadth of tenant services provided, and reputation as an owner and operator of quality office properties in the relevant market. Additionally, our ability to compete depends upon, among other factors, trends in the national and local economies, investment alternatives, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.
Office properties in our submarkets are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas. We believe that each of our existing properties has the necessary permits and approvals to operate its business.
Americans With Disabilities Act |
|
Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”) to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. We believe that our existing properties are in substantial compliance with the ADA and we continue to make capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we continue to assess our properties and to make alterations as appropriate in this respect.
Some of the properties in our portfolio contain, or may have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These operations create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Also, some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building materials (“ACBM”). Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. The laws may also allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers. We cannot assure our stockholders that costs of future environmental compliance will not affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders or that such costs or other remedial measures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations. None of the recent site assessments revealed any past or present environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.
From time to time, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) designates certain sites affected by hazardous substances as “Superfund” sites pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Superfund sites can cover large areas, affecting many different parcels of land. The EPA identifies parties who are considered to be potentially responsible for the hazardous substances at Superfund sites and makes them liable for the costs of responding to the hazardous substances. The parcel of land on which the Glendale Center is located lies within a large Superfund site. The site was designated as a Superfund site because the groundwater beneath the Superfund site is contaminated. We have not been named, and do not expect to be named, as a potentially responsible party for the site. If we were named, we would likely be required to enter into a de minimis settlement with the EPA and pay nominal damages.
Independent environmental consultants have conducted Phase I or similar environmental site assessments on all of the properties in our portfolio within the last 36 months. Site assessments are intended to discover and evaluate
information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties. These assessments do not generally include soil samplings, subsurface investigations or an asbestos survey. None of the recent site assessments revealed any past or present environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, earthquake, terrorism, flood, boiler and machinery, earthquake sprinkler leakage and business interruption insurance covering all of the properties in our portfolio under a blanket policy that also covers certain properties owned by Mr. Maguire. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in the opinion of our company’s management, the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured. Our terrorism insurance, which covers both certified and non-certified terrorism loss, is subject to exclusions for loss or damage caused by nuclear substances, pollutants, contaminants and biological and chemical weapons. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from riots. Most of the properties in our portfolio are located in areas known to be seismically active. See “Risk Factors -Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.”
The costs and benefits of the blanket policy covering the properties in our portfolio and certain properties owned by Mr. Maguire are allocated pursuant to a Property Insurance Sharing Agreement dated March 31, 1997, as most recently amended to reflect business acquisitions, dispositions and joint ventures. The coverage and costs allocated to each of the properties covered by the blanket policy is determined by taking into account the relative insured values, relative values for property coverage, relative square feet for casualty coverage and risks related to each covered property and any third-party requirements of lenders, lessees or lessors. In its capacity as “Manager” under the agreement, our services company is obligated to procure insurance or amend policies as properties are sold, acquired or developed, present and pursue claims for losses on behalf of us and the entities that own Mr. Maguire’s properties hire independent adjusters to determine losses, hold undistributed insurance proceeds in trust until distributed, administer the distribution of insurance proceeds and coordinate the payment of insurance premiums. The costs incurred by our services company in connection with the performance of its obligations under this agreement are reimbursed by the parties to the agreement in proportion to either (i) the relative benefits received by the parties, (ii) the relative amounts of premiums paid by the parties or (iii) the relative insured values of the properties owned by the parties, depending upon the nature of the cost.
As of February 28, 2007, we employed 170 persons of which approximately 82 are “home office” executive and administrative personnel and approximately 88 are on-site management and administrative personnel. None of these employees is currently represented by a labor union.
Our corporate headquarters are located at 1733 Ocean Avenue, Suite 400, Santa Monica California, 90401, a property that is beneficially owned by Mr. Maguire. We own the building in which our leasing, accounting and development departments are located, the KPMG Tower at 355 South Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles. We believe that our current facilities are adequate for our present operations. We may add regional offices or relocate our offices depending upon our future development projects and alternative uses for available space.
For purposes of this section, the term “stockholders” means the holders of shares of our common stock and of our Series A Preferred Stock. Set forth below are the risks that we believe are material to our stockholders. You should carefully consider the following factors in evaluating our company, our properties and our business. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause our stockholders to lose all or a part of their investment. Some statements in this report, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 20. When we refer to our “Effective Portfolio,” it includes properties in our Joint Venture at our ownership interest.
Most of our properties depend upon the Southern California economy and the demand for office space.
Most of our currently owned properties are located in Los Angeles County, California, Orange County, California and San Diego County, California, and many of them are concentrated in the LACBD, which exposes us to greater economic risks than if we owned properties in several geographic regions. Moreover, because our portfolio of properties consists primarily of office buildings, a decrease in the demand for office space, and Class A office space in particular, may have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio. We are susceptible to adverse developments in the Southern California region (such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics, increased telecommuting, terrorist targeting of high-rise structures (notably, US Bank Tower), infrastructure quality, California state budgetary constraints and priorities, increases in real estate and other taxes, costs of complying with government regulations or increased regulation and other factors) and the national and Southern California regional office space market (such as oversupply of or reduced demand for office space). The State of California is also generally regarded as more litigious and more highly regulated and taxed than many states, which may reduce demand for office space in California. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in the Southern California region, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from California’s regulatory environment, business climate or energy or fiscal problems, could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders. We cannot assure you of the continued growth of the Southern California economy or the national economy or our future growth rate.
Tax indemnification obligations in the event that we sell certain properties could limit our operating flexibility.
We have agreed to indemnify Mr. Maguire (and certain related entities) and certain others against adverse tax consequences to them in the event that our Operating Partnership directly or indirectly sells, exchanges or otherwise disposes (including by way of merger, sale of assets or otherwise) of any portion of its interests, in a taxable transaction, in five of the office properties in our portfolio, which represented 46.8% of our Effective Portfolio’s aggregate annualized rent as of December 31, 2006. These tax indemnity obligations apply for initial periods ranging between seven and nine years from the date of our IPO, which occurred on June 27, 2003, with up to three one-year extension periods if Mr. Maguire and related entities maintain ownership of Units equal to 50% of the Units received by them in the formation transactions. In addition, Mr. Maguire and certain entities owned or controlled by Mr. Maguire and entities controlled by certain former senior executives of our Predecessor have guaranteed $591.8 million as of December 31, 2006. We agreed to these provisions in order to assist Mr. Maguire and certain other contributors in preserving their tax position after their contribution of property interests to us. While we do not intend to sell any of these properties in transactions that would trigger these tax indemnifications obligations, if we were to trigger our tax indemnification obligations under these agreements, we would be required to pay damages for the resulting tax consequences to Mr. Maguire and other contributors, and we have acknowledged that a calculation of damages will not be based on the time value of money or the time remaining within the restricted period. In addition, we could involuntarily trigger our tax indemnification obligations under these provisions in the event of a condemnation of one of these properties.
Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, earthquake, flood, boiler and machinery, earthquake sprinkler leakage, terrorism, business interruption and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in our portfolio under a blanket policy that also covers certain properties owned by Mr. Maguire. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from riots or war. Some of our policies, like those covering losses due to terrorism, earthquake and floods, are insured subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits, which may not be sufficient to cover losses. Most of our properties are located in Southern California, an area especially subject to earthquakes. Five of the eight largest properties in our office portfolio - US Bank Tower, Gas Company Tower, Wells Fargo Tower, KPMG Tower and One California Plaza (one of our Joint Venture properties) - are all located within the Bunker Hill section of downtown Los Angeles. Together, these properties represented roughly 46.6% of our Effective Portfolio’s aggregate annualized rent as of December 31, 2006. Because these properties are located so closely together, an earthquake in downtown Los Angeles could materially damage, destroy or impair the use by tenants of all of these properties. While we presently carry earthquake insurance on our properties, the amount of our earthquake insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover losses from earthquakes, particularly losses from
an earthquake in downtown Los Angeles. In addition, we may discontinue earthquake, terrorism or other insurance on some or all of our properties in the future if the cost of premiums for any of these policies exceeds, in our judgment, the value of the coverage discounted for the risk of loss.
If we experience a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged. In the event of a significant loss at one of the properties owned by Mr. Maguire covered by the blanket policy, the remaining insurance under this policy, if any, could be insufficient to adequately insure our existing properties covered by this policy. In such event, securing additional insurance, if possible, could be significantly more expensive than our current policy.
Future terrorist attacks in the United States could harm the demand for and the value of our properties.
Future terrorist attacks in the U.S., such as the attacks that occurred in New York and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other acts of terrorism or war could harm the demand for and the value of our properties. Certain of our properties are well-known landmarks, in particular US Bank Tower in downtown Los Angeles (which was the target of a failed 2002 terrorist plot), and may be perceived as more likely terrorist targets than similar, less recognizable properties, which could potentially reduce the demand for and value of these properties. A decrease in demand could make it difficult for us to renew or re-lease our properties at lease rates equal to or above historical rates or then-prevailing market rates. Terrorist attacks also could directly impact the value of our properties through damage, destruction, loss, or increased security costs, and the availability of insurance for such acts may be limited or may cost more. Five of the eight largest properties in our office portfolio - US Bank Tower, Gas Company Tower, Wells Fargo Tower, KPMG Tower and One California Plaza (one of our Joint Venture properties) - are all located within the Bunker Hill section of downtown Los Angeles. Together, these properties represented roughly 46.6% of our Effective Portfolio’s aggregate annualized rent as of December 31, 2006. Because these properties are located so closely together, a terrorist attack on any one of these properties, or in the downtown Los Angeles or Bunker Hill areas generally, could materially damage, destroy or impair the use by tenants of all of these properties. To the extent that our tenants are impacted by future attacks, their ability to continue to honor obligations under their existing leases with us could be adversely affected. Additionally, certain tenants have termination rights or purchase options in respect of certain casualties. If we receive casualty proceeds, we may not be able to reinvest such proceeds profitably or at all, and we may be forced to recognize taxable gain on the affected property. Failure to reinvest casualty proceeds in the affected property or properties could also trigger our tax indemnification obligations under our agreements with certain limited partners of our Operating Partnership with respect to sales of specified properties.
Our debt level reduces cash available for distribution, including cash available to pay dividends on our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, and may expose us to the risk of default under our debt obligations.
As of December 31, 2006, our total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $2.8 billion. At December 31, 2006, we also had a $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility with Credit Suisse First Boston, which 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 revolving credit facility is guaranteed by Maguire Properties Holdings I, LLC. In addition, the revolving credit facility is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries, and is secured by deeds of trust on Plaza Las Fuentes, the Westin® Pasadena Hotel, 755 South Figueroa, 207 Goode and Pacific Arts Plaza West properties, the undeveloped land parcel at Washington Mutual Irvine Campus, pledges of equity interest in substantially all property owning subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership and pledges of our interest in the equity of the properties that are part of the Joint Venture. As of December 31, 2006, we had no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to operate our properties. We may not generate sufficient operating cash flow after debt service to pay the distributions currently contemplated and any such distributions may be financed by additional borrowings until we reduce our leverage level sufficiently to enable us to pay distributions from operating cash flow. In the event of default, our debt agreements may also prevent us from paying distributions necessary to maintain our REIT qualification. Our revolving credit facility also prohibits us from distributing to our stockholders more than 95% of our “funds from operations” (as defined in our revolving credit facility) during any four consecutive fiscal quarters, except as necessary to enable us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Our existing mortgage agreements contain lockbox and cash management provisions, which under certain circumstances limit our ability to
utilize available cash flows at the specific property, including paying distributions. Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements could have significant adverse consequences, including the following:
· | our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments; |
| |
· | we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms; |
| |
· | we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original indebtedness; |
| |
· | because a portion of our debt bears interest at variable rates, increases in interest rates could increase our interest expense; |
| |
· | we may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on disadvantageous terms; |
| |
· | we may default on our obligations and the lenders or mortgagees may foreclose on our properties that secure their loans and receive an assignment of rents and leases; |
| |
· | we may violate restrictive covenants in our loan documents, which would entitle the lenders to accelerate our debt obligations; |
| |
· | our default under any one of our mortgage loans with cross default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness; and |
| |
· | because we have agreed with Mr. Maguire and other contributors to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain certain debt levels, we may not be able to refinance our debt when it would be otherwise advantageous to do so or to reduce our indebtedness when our board of directors thinks it is prudent. |
| |
If any one of these events were to occur, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders could be adversely affected. In addition, our debt agreements contain lockbox and cash management arrangements pursuant to which substantially all of the income generated by our properties is deposited directly into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of our various lenders and from which cash is distributed to us only after funding of improvement, leasing and maintenance reserves and the payment of debt service, insurance, taxes, operating expenses, and extraordinary capital expenditures and leasing expenses. As a result, we may be forced to draw funds from our revolving line of credit in order to pay dividends to our stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Furthermore, foreclosures could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, a circumstance which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Foreclosures could also trigger our tax indemnification obligations under the terms of our agreements with Mr. Maguire and others with respect to sales of certain properties and obligating us to use commercially reasonable efforts to make certain levels of indebtedness available for them to guarantee.
We depend on significant tenants.
As of December 31, 2006, our 20 largest tenants represented approximately 43.0% of our Effective Portfolio’s total annualized rental revenues. Our largest tenants are Sempra Energy and its subsidiaries and Wells Fargo Bank. Sempra Energy, together with its Southern California Gas Company subsidiary leases, as of December 31, 2006, 802,272 net rentable square feet of office space, representing approximately 12.9% of our Effective Portfolio’s total annualized rental revenues. As of December 31, 2006, Wells Fargo Bank leases 381,021 net rentable square feet of office space, representing approximately 2.6% of our Effective Portfolio’s total annualized rent. Our tenants may experience a downturn in their businesses, which may weaken their financial condition, resulting in their failure to make timely rental payments and/or their default under their leases. In the event of any tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment.
The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant also may adversely affect the income produced by our properties. If any tenant becomes a debtor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, we cannot evict the
tenant solely because of the bankruptcy. In addition, the bankruptcy court might authorize the tenant to reject and terminate its lease with us. Our claim against the tenant for unpaid, future rent would be subject to a statutory cap that might be substantially less than the remaining rent actually owed under the lease. Even so, our claim for unpaid rent would likely not be paid in full. Our revenue and cash available for distribution to our stockholders could be materially adversely affected if any of our significant tenants were to become bankrupt or insolvent, or suffer a downturn in their business, or fail to renew their leases at all or renew on terms less favorable to us than their current terms.
Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect results of operations.
We seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using interest rate hedging arrangements that involve risk, such as the risk that counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under these arrangements, and that such arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our results of operations.
We may be unable to complete acquisitions or successfully operate acquired properties.
We continue to evaluate the market of available properties and may acquire office and other properties when strategic opportunities exist. Our ability to acquire properties on favorable terms and successfully operate them may be adversely affected by the following significant risks:
· | our potential inability to acquire a desired property because of competition from other real estate investors with significant capital, including both publicly traded REITs and institutional investment funds; |
| |
· | even if we are able to acquire a desired property, competition from other potential acquirers may significantly increase the purchase price; |
| |
· | even if we enter into agreements for the acquisition of office properties, these agreements are subject to customary conditions to closing, including completion of due diligence investigations to our satisfaction; |
| |
· | we may be unable to finance the acquisition at all or on favorable terms; |
| |
· | we may spend more than budgeted amounts to make necessary improvements or renovations to acquired properties; |
| |
· | we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations, and as a result our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected; |
| |
· | market conditions may result in higher than expected vacancy rates and lower than expected rental rates; |
| |
· | we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities such as liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination, claims by tenants, vendors or other persons dealing with the former owners of the properties and claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of the properties; and |
| |
· | in connection with certain potential acquisitions, we have entered in a right of first opportunity agreement with MOF, whereby for any potential acquisition or development property prospect located in Southern California meeting certain investment criteria, we are obligated to offer MOF the first opportunity to acquire a participating interest in that property. |
| |
If we cannot finance property acquisitions on favorable terms, or operate acquired properties to meet our financial expectations, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders could be adversely affected.
We may be unable to successfully complete and operate developed properties.
We intend to develop and substantially renovate office and other properties. Our future development and construction activities involve the following significant risks:
· | we may be unable to obtain construction financing at all or on favorable terms; |
| |
· | we may be unable to obtain permanent financing at all or on advantageous terms if we finance development projects through construction loans; |
| |
· | we may not complete development projects on schedule or within budgeted amounts; and |
| |
· | we may encounter delays or refusals in obtaining all necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy, and other required governmental permits and authorizations; and occupancy rates and rents at newly developed or renovated properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, and may result in our investment not being profitable. |
| |
While we intend to develop office properties primarily in the Southern California market, we may in the future develop properties for commercial, retail or other use and expand our business to other geographic regions where we expect the development of property to result in favorable risk-adjusted returns on our investment. Presently, we do not possess the same level of familiarity with development of other property types or other markets, which could adversely affect our ability to develop such properties successfully or at all or to achieve expected performance.
We may encounter problems during development and construction activities.
We are currently developing projects at Lantana Media Campus, Park Place II, 17885 Von Karman Avenue and Mission City Corporate Center. We are currently planning development projects at Park Place, San Diego Tech Center, 755 Figueroa, Pacific Arts Plaza, Glendale North, Glendale Center and Wateridge Plaza. These construction projects, and others that we may undertake from time to time, are subject to significant development and construction risks, any of which could cause unanticipated cost increases and delays. These include the following:
· | adverse weather that damages the project or causes delays; |
| |
· | delays in obtaining or inability to obtain necessary permits, licenses and approvals; |
| |
· | changes to the plans or specifications; |
| |
· | shortages of materials and skilled labor; |
| |
· | increases in material and labor costs; |
| |
· | engineering problems; |
| |
· | labor disputes and work stoppages with contractors, subcontractors or others that are constructing the project; |
| |
· | environmental issues; |
| |
· | shortages of qualified employees; |
| |
· | fire, flooding and other natural disasters; |
| |
· | expenditure of funds on, and the devotion of management time to, projects that may not be completed; and |
| |
· | geological, construction, excavation, regulatory and equipment problems. |
| |
We may not be able to complete the development of any projects we begin and, if completed, our development and construction activities may not be completed in a timely manner or within budget, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and prospects.
Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and with the real estate industry.
Our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders depends on our ability to generate revenues in excess of expenses, scheduled principal payments on debt and capital expenditure requirements. Events and conditions generally applicable to owners and operators of real property that are beyond our control may decrease cash available for distribution and the value of our properties. These events include:
· | local oversupply, increased competition or reduction in demand for office space; |
| |
· | inability to collect rent from tenants; |
| |
· | vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms; |
| |
· | inability to finance property development and acquisitions on favorable terms; |
| |
· | increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes; |
| |
· | costs of complying with changes in governmental regulations; |
| |
· | the relative illiquidity of real estate investments; and |
| |
· | changing submarket demographics. |
| |
In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or an increased incidence of defaults under existing leases, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders.
We face significant competition, which may decrease or prevent increases of the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.
We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of office and commercial real estate, many of which own properties similar to ours in the same submarkets in which our properties are located, but which have lower occupancy rates than our properties. On average, our higher relative occupancy rates mean that our competitors have more space currently available for lease than we do and may be willing to make space available at lower than asking rates in the properties in our office portfolio. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, some of which are significantly above current market rates, we may lose potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants when their leases expire. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders may be adversely affected.
We could default on leases for land on which some of our properties are located.
We possess a leasehold interest on the land and air space at Plaza Las Fuentes and the Westin® Pasadena Hotel that, including renewal options, expires in 2047. As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately 458,958 net rentable square feet of office and retail space and a 350-room hotel located on this parcel. If we default under the terms of this long-term lease, we may be liable for damages and lose our interest in Plaza Las Fuentes and the Westin® Pasadena Hotel, including our options to purchase the land and air space subject to the lease.
We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire.
As of December 31, 2006, leases representing 6.2% and 7.8% of the square footage of the properties in our Effective Portfolio will expire in 2007 and 2008, respectively, and an additional 12.4% of the square footage of the
properties in our Effective portfolio was available. Above market rental rates at some of our properties will force us to renew or re-lease some expiring leases at lower rates. We cannot assure you that leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-leased at net effective rental rates equal to or above their current net effective rental rates. If the rental rates for our properties decrease, our existing tenants do not renew their leases or we do not re-lease a significant portion of our available space and space for which leases will expire, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders would be adversely affected.
Because we own a hotel property, we face the risks associated with the hospitality industry.
We own the Westin® Pasadena Hotel in Pasadena, California and are susceptible to risks associated with the hospitality industry, including:
· | competition for guests with other hotels, some of which may have greater marketing and financial resources than the manager of our hotel; |
| |
· | increases in operating costs from inflation and other factors that the manager of our hotel may not be able to offset through higher room rates; |
| |
· | future terrorist attacks that could adversely affect the travel and tourism industries and decrease demand for our hotel; |
| |
· | the fluctuating and seasonal demands of business travelers and tourism; |
| |
· | general and local economic conditions that may affect demand for travel in general; and |
| |
· | potential oversupply of hotel rooms resulting from excessive new development. |
| |
If our hotel does not generate sufficient revenues, our financial position, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders may be adversely affected.
We could incur significant costs related to government regulation and private litigation over environmental matters.
Under various laws relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for contamination resulting from the presence or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances at that property, and may be required to investigate and clean up such contamination at that property or emanating from that property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the contaminants, and the liability may be joint and several. The presence of contamination or the failure to remedy contamination in our properties may expose us to third-party liability or adversely affect our ability to sell, lease or develop the real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral.
These environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of ACBM, and may impose fines and penalties for failure to comply with these requirements or expose us to third-party liability. Some of our properties may contain ACBM and we could be liable for such fines or penalties. We cannot assure our stockholders that costs of future environmental compliance will not affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders or that such costs or other remedial measures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations. None of the recent site assessments revealed any past or present environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.
Some of the properties in our portfolio contain, or may have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. If hazardous or toxic substances were released from these tanks, we could incur significant costs or be liable to third parties with respect to the releases. From time to time, the EPA designates certain sites affected by hazardous substances as “Superfund’’ sites pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. The EPA identifies parties who are considered to be potentially responsible for the hazardous substances at Superfund sites and makes them liable for the costs of
responding to the hazardous substances. The parcel of land on which the Glendale Center is located lies within a large Superfund site, and we could be named as a potentially responsible party with respect to that site.
Existing conditions at some of our properties may expose us to liability related to environmental matters.
Independent environmental consultants have conducted Phase I or similar environmental site assessments on all of the properties in our existing portfolio. Site assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties. These assessments do not generally include soil samplings, subsurface investigations or an asbestos survey. None of the site assessments revealed any past or present environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations. However, the assessments may have failed to reveal all environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns. Material environmental conditions, liabilities, or compliance concerns may have arisen after the review was completed or may arise in the future and future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material additional environmental liability. We cannot assure our stockholders that costs of future environmental compliance will not affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders or that such costs or other remedial measures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.
Potential environmental liabilities may exceed our environmental insurance coverage limits.
We carry environmental insurance to cover likely and reasonably anticipated potential environmental liability associated with above-ground and underground storage tanks at all of our properties where such tanks are located. While we believe this coverage is sufficient to protect us against likely environmental risks, we cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be sufficient or that our liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders.
We may incur significant costs complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws.
Under the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Although we believe that the properties in our portfolio substantially comply with present requirements of the ADA and we continue to make capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA, we have not conducted an audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine our compliance. If one or more of our properties is not in compliance with the ADA, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. Additional federal, state and local laws also may require modifications to our properties, or restrict our ability to renovate our properties. We cannot predict the ultimate amount of the cost of compliance with the ADA or other legislation. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA and any other legislation, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders could be adversely affected.
We may incur significant costs complying with other regulations.
The properties in our portfolio are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these various requirements, we might incur governmental fines or private damage awards. We believe that the properties in our portfolio are currently in material compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements. However, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders.
Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control.
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required under the Code to annually distribute at least 90% of our net taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain. In addition, we will be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, including any net capital gains. Because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary acquisition financing, from
operating cash flow. Consequently, we rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all. Any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on:
· | general market conditions; |
| |
· | the market’s perception of our growth potential; |
| |
· | our current debt levels; |
| |
· | our current and expected future earnings; |
| |
· | our cash flow and cash distributions; and |
| |
· | the market price per share of our capital stock. |
| |
If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our debt service obligations or pay the cash dividends to our stockholders necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Joint venture investments, including our Joint Venture with MOF, could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on co-venturers’ financial condition and disputes between us and our co-venturers.
Effective January 5, 2006, we closed our joint venture with MOF. We may also co-invest in the future with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures or other entities, acquiring non-controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for managing the affairs of a property, partnership, joint venture or other entity. In the case of the Joint Venture and any additional joint ventures, we would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the property, partnership, joint venture or other entities. Additionally we have a right of first opportunity agreement with MOF, which obligates us to offer MOF the first opportunity to invest in any potential acquisition property. Investments in partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that partners or co-venturers might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions. Partners or co-venturers may have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the partner or co-venturer would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. Impasses could also result in either the sale of a building or buildings, the sale of our Joint Venture interest or the purchase of MOF’s interest. Disputes between us and partners or co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with partners or co-venturers might result in subjecting properties owned by the partnership or joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our third-party partners or co-venturers. We will seek to maintain sufficient control of such entities to permit them to achieve our business objectives.
A recently announced acquisition of office and development real property subjects us to various risks which could adversely affect our operating results.
On February 13, 2007, we entered into a definitive Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with various entities controlled by Blackstone Real Estate Advisors (collectively the “Seller”), to acquire all of Seller’s rights, title and interests in 24 properties (the “Properties”), comprised of office space and development real property in Los Angeles County and Orange County, California totaling approximately 7,687,000 rentable square feet (before re-measurement) and developable land that we believe can support approximately 2,186,000 square feet of improvements. The total purchase price of the Properties, which was determined through negotiations between the Operating Partnership and the Seller, is approximately $2,875.0 million, to be paid in cash at closing. We purchased the Properties on an as is, where is basis and with all faults and defects, without any representations or warranties, except as expressly set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Our ability to complete this acquisition is dependent upon many factors, including satisfaction of closing conditions such as the partial prepayment of an existing loan. Failure to complete the acquisition will result in a loss of acquisition-related costs. Moreover, should the transaction fail to close solely due to a default on our obligations, we are bound to pay liquidated damages to the Seller in the amount of $100 million.
Other risks associated with the acquisition of the Properties include:
· | we may be unable to obtain financing for this acquisition on favorable terms or at all; |
| |
· | the Properties may fail to perform as expected; |
| |
· | while we intend to immediately seek a joint venture partner for substantially all of the assets, we may be unable to successfully find such a partner; |
| |
· | there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate the Properties into our existing portfolio or that the increase in our debt levels will not impair our ability to conduct business going forward; and |
| |
· | because we have released the Seller from all claims related to the Properties to the extent provided by law we may be subject to unknown future liabilities without any recourse. |
| |
Each of the above instances may potentially have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure |
| |
Conflicts of interest exist with holders of Units in our Operating Partnership.
We may pursue less vigorous enforcement of terms of certain agreements because of conflicts of interest with certain of our officers. Mr. Maguire has entered into employment and noncompetition agreements with us pursuant to which he has agreed, among other things, not to engage in certain business activities in competition with us and pursuant to which he will devote substantially full-time attention to our affairs. We have also entered into property management and development agreements with respect to certain properties owned by Mr. Maguire. None of these employment, non-competition, management and development agreements were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis. We may choose not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights under these employment, non-competition, management and development agreements because of our desire to maintain our ongoing relationship with the individuals involved.
Tax consequences upon sale or refinancing. Some holders of Units, including Mr. Maguire (and certain related entities), may suffer different and more adverse tax consequences than holders of our capital stock upon the sale or refinancing of the properties owned by our Operating Partnership, and therefore these holders may have different objectives regarding the appropriate pricing, timing and other material terms of any sale or refinancing of certain properties.
Competitive real estate activities of management. Mr. Maguire has substantial outside business interests, including his controlling interests in the Solana property in Texas, a senior housing project located at 740 South Olive Street and a parking structure located at 17th and Grand Avenue both in the LACBD, 1733 Ocean Avenue, Western Asset Plaza, Water’s Edge I and II and certain other passive real estate investments and Master Investments, LLC, an entity that is a potential competitor. Although Mr. Maguire is party to an employment agreement, which requires that he devote substantially full-time attention to our business and affairs, this agreement also permits Mr. Maguire to devote time to his outside business interests consistent with his past practice prior to our IPO, and we have no assurance that Mr. Maguire will continue to devote any specific portion of his time to us. As a result, these outside business interests could interfere with Mr. Maguire’s ability to devote time to our business and affairs. We are party to a lease for 17,207 square feet at 1733 Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, California, the location of our executive offices.
Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has substantial influence over our affairs. As of February 20, 2007, Mr. Maguire beneficially owns common stock and Units exchangeable for an aggregate of 8,848,036 shares of
our common stock, including 52,632 Units beneficially owned through Master Investments, LLC, an entity in which Mr. Maguire owns a 55% interest, representing a total of approximately 16.3% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis. As of December 31, 2006, Mr. Maguire pledged 2,040,039 of these units and 1,567,810 shares of common stock to lenders as collateral for personal loans. Consequently, Mr. Maguire has substantial influence on us and could exercise his influence in a manner that is not in the best interests of our stockholders. Pursuant to the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership, we may not engage in termination transactions, such as a tender offer, merger or sale of substantially all of our assets, without meeting certain criteria with respect to the consideration to be received by the limited partners and without the consent of partners (including us) holding 50% of all partnership interests.
Failure to qualify as a REIT would have significant adverse consequences to us and the value of our stock.
We operate in a manner that is intended to allow us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under the Code. We have not requested and do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this Form 10-K are not binding on the IRS or any court. If we lose our REIT status, we will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce the funds available for distribution to our stockholders for each of the years involved because: (i) we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates; (ii) we could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes; and (iii) unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, we could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four taxable years following the year during which we were disqualified. In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will not be required to make distributions to stockholders, and all distributions to stockholders will be subject to tax as regular corporate dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT also could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and would adversely affect the value of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The complexity of these provisions and of the applicable Treasury regulations that have been promulgated under the Code is greater in the case of a REIT that, like us, holds its assets through a partnership. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy a number of requirements, including requirements regarding the composition of our assets and a requirement that at least 95% of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources, such as “rents from real property.’’ For example, in order for the rent payable pursuant to the Westin® Pasadena Hotel lease to constitute “rents from real property,’’ the lease must be respected as a true lease for federal income tax purposes and not treated as a service contract, joint venture or some other type of arrangement. As this determination is inherently factual, we can provide no assurance that our characterization of this hotel lease as a true lease will not be challenged by the IRS or, if challenged, will be sustained by a court. Also, we must make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, excluding capital gains. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may adversely affect our investors, our ability to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or the desirability of an investment in a REIT relative to other investments. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to some federal, state and local taxes on our income or property and, in certain cases, a 100% penalty tax in the event we sell property as a dealer or if our services company enters into agreements with us or our tenants on a basis that is determined to be other than an arm’s-length basis.
To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to borrow funds on a short-term basis during unfavorable market conditions.
To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our net taxable income each year, excluding capital gains, and we will be subject to regular corporate income taxes to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income each year. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. In order to maintain our REIT status and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, we may need to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the REIT distribution requirements even if the then-prevailing market conditions are not favorable for these borrowings. These short-term borrowing needs could result from differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for federal income tax purposes, or the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt or amortization payments.
Our success depends on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
We depend on the efforts of key personnel, particularly Mr. Maguire. Among the reasons that Mr. Maguire is important to our success is that he has a national industry reputation that attracts business and investment opportunities and assists us in negotiations with lenders, existing and potential tenants and industry personnel. If we lost his services, our relationships with such personnel could diminish. In addition, Mr. Maguire is 71 years old and, although he has informed us that he does not currently plan to retire, his continued service to us cannot be guaranteed. Many of our other senior executives also have strong regional industry reputations, which aid us in identifying opportunities, having opportunities brought to us, and negotiating with tenants and build-to-suit prospects. While we believe that we could find replacements for all of these key personnel, the loss of their services could materially and adversely affect our operations because of diminished relationships with lenders, existing and prospective tenants and industry personnel.
Our charter and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay, defer, or prevent transactions that may be beneficial to the holders of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
Our charter contains a 9.8% ownership limit. Our Articles of Amendment and Restatement (our “charter”), subject to certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT and to limit any person to actual or constructive ownership of no more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt a proposed transferee from the ownership limit. However, our board of directors may not grant an exemption from the ownership limit to any proposed transferee whose ownership, direct or indirect, in excess of 9.8% of the value of our outstanding shares of our common stock could jeopardize our status as a REIT. These restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT. The ownership limit may delay or impede a transaction or a change of control that might be in the best interest of our stockholders.
We could authorize and issue stock without stockholder approval. Our charter authorizes our board of directors to authorize additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock, issue authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and to set the preferences, rights and other terms of such classified or unclassified shares. Although our board of directors has no such intention at the present time, it could establish another series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction that might be in the best interest of our stockholders.
Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control. Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”), may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could be in the best interest of our stockholders, including: (i) “business combination’’ provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an “interested stockholder’’ (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our shares or any affiliate or associate of ours who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of our then outstanding voting shares) or an affiliate thereof for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes special appraisal rights and special stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and (ii) “control share’’ provisions that provide that “control shares’’ of our company (defined as shares that, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition’’ (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of “control shares’’) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares. We have opted out of these provisions of the MGCL, in the case of the business combination provisions of the MGCL by resolution of our board of directors, and in the case of the control share provisions of the MGCL pursuant to a provision in our bylaws. However, our board of directors may by resolution elect to opt in to the business combination provisions of the MGCL and we may, by amendment to our bylaws, opt in to the control share provisions of the MGCL in the future. Our charter, bylaws, the partnership agreement and Maryland law also contain other provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders.
Market interest rates and other factors may affect the value of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
One of the factors that will influence the price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock will be the dividend yield on our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates, which are currently at low levels relative to historical rates, could cause the market price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock to go down. The trading price of shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock would also depend on many other factors, which may change from time to time, including:
· | prevailing interest rates; |
| |
· | the market for similar securities; |
| |
· | the attractiveness of REIT securities in comparison to the securities of other companies, taking into account, among other things, the higher tax rates imposed on dividends paid by REITs; |
| |
· | government action or regulation; |
| |
· | general economic conditions; and |
| |
· | our financial condition, performance and prospects. |
| |
Our revolving credit facility prohibits us from redeeming our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and may limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
Our revolving credit facility prohibits us from redeeming or otherwise repurchasing any shares of our capital stock, including the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. Our revolving credit facility also prohibits us from distributing to our stockholders more than 95% of our “funds from operations” (as defined in our revolving credit facility) during any four consecutive fiscal quarters, except as necessary to enable us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, if we do not generate sufficient funds from operations (as defined in our revolving credit facility) during the twelve months preceding any common stock and Series A Preferred Stock dividend payment date, we would not be able to pay all or a portion of the accumulated dividends payable to holders of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock on such payment date without causing a default under our revolving credit facility. In the event of a default under our revolving credit facility, we would be unable to borrow under our revolving credit facility and any amounts we have borrowed thereunder could become due and payable.
Forward-Looking Statements |
| |
We make statements in this Form 10-K that are “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which sets forth the safe harbor from civil liability provided for forward-looking statements. In particular, statements relating to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all of the statements regarding anticipated growth in our funds from operations and anticipated market conditions, demographics and results of operations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties, and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise, and we may not be able to realize them in any time period specified or at all. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will occur as described (or that they will occur at all). You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,’’ “expects,’’ “may,’’ “will,’’ “should,’’ “seeks,’’ “approximately,’’ “intends,’’ “plans,’’ “pro forma,’’ “estimates’’ or “anticipates’’ or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
· | adverse economic or real estate developments in Southern California or Colorado; |
| |
· | general economic conditions; |
| |
· | future terrorist attacks in the U.S.; |
| |
· | defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants; |
| |
· | increased interest rates and operating costs; |
| |
· | our failure to obtain necessary outside financing; |
| |
· | decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates; |
| |
· | difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions; |
| |
· | difficulty in operating the properties owned through our Joint Venture; |
| |
· | our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations; |
| |
· | difficulties in disposing of identified properties at attractive valuations or at all; |
| |
· | our failure to reduce our level of indebtedness; |
| |
· | our failure to successfully develop or redevelop properties; |
| |
· | our failure to maintain our status as a REIT; |
| |
· | environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters; |
| |
· | financial market fluctuations; and |
| |
· | changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates. |

At December 31, 2006, 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. Excluding the 80% interest that we do not own in the Joint Venture, our Effective Portfolio’s share of the Total Portfolio is approximately 12.7 million square feet. We also own undeveloped land adjacent to existing office properties that we believe can support up to approximately 6.9 million square feet of office, retail and residential uses and an additional 6.1 million square feet of structured parking.

(1) | Annualized rent represents the annualized monthly contractual rent under existing leases as of December 31, 2006. This amount reflects total base rent before any one-time or non-recurring rent abatements but after annually recurring rent credits and is shown on a net basis; thus, for any tenant under a partial gross lease, the expense stop, or under a fully gross lease, the current year operating expenses (which may be estimates as of such date), are subtracted from gross rent. |

(1) | Annualized base rent is calculated as monthly contractual base rent under existing leases as of December 31, 2006, multiplied by 12; for those leases where rent has not yet commenced, the first month in which rent is to be received is used to determine annualized base rent. |
(2) | S&P credit ratings are as of December 31, 2006, and rankings of law firms are based on total gross revenue in 2005 as reported by American Lawyer Media's LAW.com. |
(3) | The weighted average calculation is based on the effective net rentable square feet leased by each tenant, which reflects our pro-rata share of the Joint Venture. |
As of December 31, 2006, we had 631 tenants. The following table presents the diversification of the tenants occupying space in our Effective Portfolio by industry as of December 31, 2006.

Our leases are typically structured for terms of five to ten years and usually require the purchase of a minimum number of monthly parking spaces at the property. Leases usually contain provisions permitting tenants to renew expiring leases at prevailing market rates. Most of our leases are triple net and modified gross leases. Triple net and modified gross leases are those in which tenants pay not only base rent, but also some or all real estate taxes and operating expenses of the leased property. Tenants typically reimburse us the full direct cost, without regard to a base year or expense stop, for use of lighting, heating and air conditioning during non-business hours, and for a certain number of parking spaces. We are generally responsible for structural repairs.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. We make statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section in this Form 10-K entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.” Certain risk factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the following discussion. For a discussion of such risk factors, see the sections in this report entitled “Risk Factors.”
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”), have a significant presence in the John Wayne Airport submarket of Orange County and 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 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 Portfolio is approximately 12.7 million square feet and is referred to as our “Effective Portfolio.” Our Effective 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 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 Portfolio | | Effective Portfolio | |
| | Properties | | Buildings | | Square Feet | | Parking Square Footage | | Parking Spaces | | Square Feet | | Parking Square Footage | | Parking Spaces | |

Our Total Portfolio includes 24 properties located in nine submarkets in Los Angeles County, Orange County and San Diego County as well as 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 December 31, 2006, investment grade rated tenants generated 42.3% of the annualized rent of our Effective Portfolio, and nationally recognized professional service firms generated an additional 25.7% of the annualized rent of our Effective Portfolio. The weighted-average remaining lease term of our Effective Portfolio tenants was approximately 5.4 years as of December 31, 2006.
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 December 31, 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 | |
Stadium Gateway | | Anaheim, CA | | | 272,826 | |
San Diego Tech Center | | San Diego, CA | | | 646,630 | |
Wells Fargo Center | | Denver, CO | | | 1,203,275 | |
Total | | | | | 3,853,937 | |
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 potentially entitled to out-performance distributions based on the results of the Joint Venture.
In 2006, rental and vacancy rates improved in our submarkets, especially those of the Santa Monica Professional and Entertainment, the Tri-Cities, the Orange County and the San Diego County submarkets. Our portfolio operating strategy during the year focused upon two principal leasing objectives: (i) to lease vacant space in our buildings to creditworthy tenants and (ii) to negotiate renewals for soon to be expiring leases.
Since our IPO, we have paid quarterly dividends on our common stock and common Units at a rate of $0.40 per share of common stock and Unit, equivalent to an annual rate of $1.60 per share of common stock 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 Series A Preferred Stock, equivalent to an annual rate of $1.9064 per share of Series A Preferred Stock.
On February 6, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Pacific Center, a 6.4-acre office campus with two 10-story buildings located in the Mission Valley submarket of San Diego, California. The purchase price for Pacific Center was approximately $149.0 million and was paid for in cash from the net proceeds of our transaction with MOF.
On September 22, 2006, we purchased the building located at 701 North Brand and the remaining 50% interest in an adjacent 1,608 car garage (we acquired the initial 50% interest in the garage as part of the 2005 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 (the seller) that bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.87% and cash on hand.
On March 28, 2006, we sold 808 South Olive Garage (the “808 Garage”), a parking garage located in downtown Los Angeles, California, for $26.5 million to Zaytim, LLC. Certain tenants of the Gas Company Tower and US Bank Tower are required under their existing leases to purchase monthly off-site parking passes through the end of their lease terms. The Gas Company Tower and US Bank Tower have historically met this offsite parking requirement through an existing parking easement agreement between the Gas Company Tower and the 808 Garage. This easement was amended and restated (the “Amended Parking Easement”) in connection with the sale of the 808 Garage to Zaytim, LLC. In accordance with the Amended Parking Easement Agreement, the 808 Garage is obligated to provide a specified number of monthly parking spaces (initially 777 spaces, decreasing to 553 spaces on June 1, 2007 and 498 spaces on July 1, 2010 and expiring on November 8, 2011) to the Gas Company Tower in exchange for receiving specified fixed monthly payments, representing both consideration for the parking spaces provided as well as a reimbursement of a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the 808 Garage. Zaytim, LLC will receive approximately $8.6 million in consideration for the period from March 28, 2006 through November 8, 2011 from the Gas Company Tower in connection with the Amended Parking Easement Agreement. For accounting
purposes, the Amended Parking Easement is considered a lease and as a result, the transaction is considered a sale-leaseback with a sublease to the tenants at Gas Company Tower and US Bank Tower. As a result, this transaction does not qualify as a sale under SFAS 66 or a sale-leaseback under SFAS 98, and will be accounted for as a financing. The net sales consideration of $25.3 million received from Zaytim, LLC has been recorded as a liability and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.
2006 Financing Activities |
| |
On April 20, 2006, we completed a $121.2 million, interest-only ten-year mortgage financing with Greenwich Capital Financial secured by Pacific Center. The mortgage loan has a fixed rate of 5.76% with a maturity date of May 6, 2016. The forward-starting interest rate swap associated with this anticipated mortgage financing was assigned to the lender as part of the transaction in exchange for a lower stated interest rate of 5.84%. Accordingly, we recorded the borrowing net of a $4.6 million loan discount.
On June 27, 2006, we completed a $125.0 million, interest-only ten-year mortgage refinancing with Nomura Credit and Capital secured by Glendale Center to replace our existing $80.0 million Glendale Center loan. The mortgage loan has a fixed rate of 5.82% with a maturity date of August 11, 2016. We used $33.0 million of the proceeds to paydown our $450.0 million, five-year financing (the “Term Loan”) completed in connection with the CommonWealth portfolio acquisition, discussed below. In connection with the payoff of the existing mortgage and paydown of the Term Loan, we recognized a $4.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt due to a $3.1 million prepayment penalty and a $1.0 million write-off of unamortized loan costs.
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 5.10% and matures on August 11, 2016. The proceeds were used to pay off the existing mortgage of $280.0 million and pay down $165.0 million of the Term Loan. In connection with the payoff of the existing mortgage, we recognized a $2.0 million loss on early extinguishment of debt due to a write-off of unamortized loan costs and a $3.2 million gain (included in other income) previously deferred related to 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 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% (7.57% at December 31, 2006) and will mature on September 30, 2008, with three one-year extension options. As of December 31, 2006, $113.5 million was outstanding on the construction loan.
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 5.84% and matures on November 1, 2013. The forward-starting interest rate swap associated with this anticipated mortgage financing was assigned to the lender as part of the transaction in exchange for a lower stated interest rate of 5.84%. Accordingly, we recorded the borrowing net of a $4.6 million loan discount. 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 recorded $1.0 million in loss from early extinguishment of debt during the fourth quarter due 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 recorded a $1.9 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.
On December 26, 2006, we completed a $39.7 million construction loan financing with Guaranty Bank for the purpose of funding costs pertaining to the construction of a 150,000 square foot office building at the Washington Mutual Irvine campus. The construction loan will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 1.80% (7.18% at December 31, 2006), and will mature on December 30, 2008, with a one-year extension option. As of December 31, 2006, $0.5 million was outstanding on the construction loan.
Investment in Maguire-Macquarie Office, LLC Joint Venture |
| |
On November 4, 2005, we contributed One California Plaza to the Joint Venture in exchange for a 95% interest and a $65.0 million unsecured promissory note issued by the Joint Venture. Concurrently, MOF contributed to the Joint Venture $5.9 million in cash and received a 5% interest in the Joint Venture. This initial contribution to the Joint Venture did not qualify as a sale under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” Accordingly, no gain was recognized on the contribution and we continued to consolidate One California Plaza as of December 31, 2005.
On January 5, 2006, we completed the series of transactions contemplated by the Joint Venture agreements. The Joint Venture transactions were comprised of the following:
· | The contribution by us to the Joint Venture of Wells Fargo Center, San Diego Tech Center, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus, Cerritos Corporate Center (“Cerritos”) and One California Plaza (remaining 75% interest) including the Joint Venture’s assumption of $661.25 million of mortgage debt secured by four of the properties, in exchange for a 20% interest in the Joint Venture and $382.0 million in cash, including $19.0 million representing a distribution to us of our 20% share in new mortgage debt issued by the Joint Venture which is secured by Cerritos as discussed below. The contribution of San Diego Tech Center excluded undeveloped land approved for 1.2 million square feet of office entitlements and the contribution of Washington Mutual Irvine Campus excluded undeveloped land approved for 150,000 square feet of office entitlements; |
| |
· | The issuance of $95.0 million in new mortgage financing by the Joint Venture secured by Cerritos, with a fixed interest rate of 5.54% and a maturity date of February 1, 2016. Our Operating Partnership provided a payment guarantee to the Joint Venture with respect to this mortgage through January 5, 2009; |
| |
· | The contribution by MOF of Stadium Gateway and cash in exchange for an 80% interest in the Joint Venture; and |
| |
· | The contribution by us of $5.6 million cash in exchange for a 20% interest in Stadium Gateway. |
| |
As a result of the Joint Venture transactions, we received net cash proceeds of $376.4 million, consisting of $363.0 million relating to MOF’s 80% acquisition of the five assets we contributed to the Joint Venture, $19.0 million representing the distribution of our 20% pro rata share of mortgage financing net proceeds issued by the Joint Venture and secured by Cerritos, net of $5.6 million in cash we paid to fund the acquisition of our 20% interest in Stadium Gateway.
We recognized a gain on sale of approximately $108.5 million on our sale of the five assets to the Joint Venture related to MOF’s acquisition of an 80% interest in these five assets. Our gain on sale was reduced by approximately $57.2 million related to various items as further described below. We recorded our 20% interest retained in the Joint Venture at 20% of our historical net book value of the five properties contributed and fair value paid for Stadium Gateway.
As a result of our guarantee (which is considered continuing involvement that precludes gain recognition under GAAP) of the new mortgage financing issued by the Joint Venture which is secured by Cerritos, we deferred the $20.4 million gain on sale related to that property, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. The gain will be recognized once our debt guarantee expires.
In connection with the Joint Venture contribution agreements for One California Plaza, Wells Fargo Center - Denver and San Diego Tech Center, we agreed to fund certain future existing and contingent obligations, including:
· | Approximately $15.7 million in future tenant lease obligations, including tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions; and |
| |
· | Approximately $5.0 million in master lease payments through January 4, 2007 for certain vacant spaces until they are leased. |
| |
Accordingly, we have reduced our gain on sale by approximately $20.7 million, representing our maximum funding exposure under these obligations. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $7.9 million of these obligations remain outstanding, which are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our consolidating balance sheet.
We have also agreed to provide property management services to the five properties we contributed to the Joint Venture for the three-year period ending January 5, 2009 at no consideration, other than the reimbursement of direct property management expenses incurred. Accordingly, we have reduced our gain on sale by approximately $8.6 million, representing prepaid revenue for the property management services we will provide through January 2009, $5.9 million of which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006.
In addition, $7.5 million of the purchase price is contingently refundable to MOF until January 5, 2009 if the five properties we contributed do not meet certain pre-defined annual income targets for the three-year period ended January 5, 2009. Accordingly, we have reduced our gain on sale by approximately $7.5 million, representing contingent consideration, $5.2 million of which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. During 2006, the Joint Venture did not meet certain income targets and we paid $2.3 million to cover the shortfall.
In accordance with the Joint Venture agreements, both we and MOF have rights of first offer to co-invest in any Southern California acquisition opportunities meeting certain defined criteria that the other party intends to acquire. In addition, MOF has a right to acquire up to a 50% interest in our development projects at Washington Mutual Irvine Campus and San Diego Tech Center at 92.5% of stabilized value, which is determined upon 90% occupancy of the project.
On February 13, 2007, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with various entities controlled by Blackstone Real Estate Advisors (“Seller”), to acquire their rights, title and interests in 24 properties (the “Properties”). The Properties, located in Los Angeles County and Orange County, California consist of approximately 7.7 million rentable square feet (before re-measurement) and developable land that we believe can support approximately 2.2 million square feet of improvements. We have agreed to purchase the Properties on an as is, where is basis and with all faults and defects, without any representations or warranties, except as expressly set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The total purchase price of the Properties is approximately $2,875.0 million, to be paid in cash at closing.
Our obligation to purchase the Properties under the Purchase Agreement is subject to certain Sellers’s limited representations, warranties and covenants. The transaction is expected to close on or before April 23, 2007. In the event the transaction does not close by reason of our default, Seller may terminate the agreement, and we shall pay liquidated damages in the amount of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000). We intend to seek joint venture partners for substantially all of the assets being acquired. Depending on the timing for completing the joint ventures, we expect to initially finance the purchase of the Properties with a combination of property and corporate level debt, to the extent necessary.
On February 22, 2007, we completed a $26.8 million construction loan financing with Guaranty Bank for the purpose of funding costs pertaining to the construction of a 92,000 square foot office building at Mission City Corporate Center. The construction loan will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 1.80%, and will mature on February 22, 2009, with a one-year extension option.
On February 26, 2007, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved the appointment of Martin A. Griffiths to the position of Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Griffiths has served as our Executive Vice President, Operations since July 2006. On February 27, 2007, in connection with his appointment to Chief Financial Officer, we amended Mr. Griffiths’ employment agreement dated June 11, 2006 and changed his title to “Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Maguire Properties, Inc. and Maguire Properties, L.P.” effective as of March 2, 2007.
On February 27, 2007, we entered into a Separation Agreement with Dallas E. Lucas, pursuant to which Mr. Lucas resigned from his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective as of March 2, 2007 (the “Effective Date”). We also entered into a Consulting Services Agreement on February 27, 2007, with Mr. Lucas, pursuant to which Mr. Lucas will provide consulting services to us beginning on the Effective Date.
On February 28, 2007, we obtained a commitment to refinance the Well Fargo Tower (Los Angeles) with a new $550 million, 10-year fixed rate interest only loan from Lehman Brothers Bank FSB, that bears interest at 5.66%.
Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations |
|
As of December 31, 2006, our Effective Portfolio was 87.6% leased to 631 tenants. Approximately 6.2% of our Effective Portfolio leased square footage expires during 2007 and 7.8% of our Effective Portfolio leased square footage expires during 2008. Our leasing strategy for 2007 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 (67.1% leased at December 31, 2006), Glendale Center (80.9% leased at December 31, 2006), Park Place (84.7% leased at December 31, 2006), US Bank Tower (85.5% leased at December 31, 2006) and 801 North Brand (87.2% leased at December 31, 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 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, in light of strengthening markets on a portfolio basis, 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 during 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 under development. In 2006, the following construction activities were undertaken:
· | The build-out of the core and shell portion of the project at Park Place - 3161 Michelson was completed. 3161 Michelson is a 530,380 square foot office building and two parking garages with a parking capacity of approximately 5,100 vehicles. Construction costs incurred through December 31, 2006 totaled $88.6 million for the office building and $54.1 million for the parking garages. The total estimated cost for the office building is $174.1 million and $70.0 million for the parking garages. Completion is targeted for the second quarter of 2007 for the parking garages and third quarter 2007 for the office building. |
| |
· | The parking structure at Mission City Corporate Center was completed on January 26, 2007 and construction on the 92,000 square foot office building has commenced. Construction costs incurred through December 31, 2006 total $4.7 million for the office building and the parking structure. The total estimated cost of the office building is $21.2 million and $5.4 million for the parking structure. The targeted completion date for the office building is the fourth quarter of 2007. |
| |
· | In the fourth quarter of 2006, the majority of the foundation work was completed at the 150,000 square foot office building located at 17885 Von Karman Avenue at the Washington Mutual Irvine Campus. Construction costs incurred through December 31, 2006 totaled $6.9 million and the total estimated cost of the office building is $40.0 million. The project is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2007. |
| |
· | Construction at Lantana East commenced in November 2006 under a foundation permit and the building permit is expected to be received in March 2007. The foundation permit for Lantana South was received on February 26, 2007. Construction costs incurred through December 31, 2006 totaled $2.8 million for the office building and no costs have been incurred for the parking structure. The total estimated cost for the office building is $68.0 million and $18.0 million for the parking structure. Lantana East is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2008 while Lantana South is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2008. |

We also currently own additional undeveloped land that we believe can support 10.4 million square feet of development primarily located in strong submarkets including the Tri-Cities, Orange County and San Diego County. We have commenced development or pre-development activities at San Diego Tech Center, Glendale North, Wateridge Plaza, Pacific Arts Plaza and 755 Figueroa. While we currently do not have any lease commitments for any of these projects, we believe that healthy economic growth in these markets create strong prospects for leasing the projects.
We expect the funding for these developments to be provided principally from construction loans and to a lesser extent from operating cash flow.
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 and our currently pending acquisition of 24 properties from Blackstone Real Estate Advisors. During 2007, 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.
Current Submarket Information |
|
LACBD, California. As expected, the LACBD moved slower than other markets in 2006 as demonstrated by slightly higher vacancy rates than last year. Long-term prospects are very promising as indicated by increased rental rates, the registration of 4,000 new residential units in 2006 and the opening and remodeling of over 20 bar and specialty lounges in 2007. In addition, several prominent restaurant operators from the Westside and Pasadena are now finalizing transactions in the area, further reflecting the strong commitment of residential developers to the area. As of December 31, 2006, our Total LACBD portfolio was 85.6% leased, with approximately 1,046,000 square feet available for lease. Throughout 2007, we will be focused on increasing occupancy, primarily at KPMG Tower, which is currently 67.1% leased due to the expiration of the Los Angeles Unified School District (“LAUSD”) lease, US Bank Tower, which is currently 85.5% leased, and One California Plaza (a Joint Venture property), which is currently 87.9% leased.
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 year resulting in very low direct vacancy rates. Strong leasing demand is projected to continue throughout 2007, particularly in Glendale, which has the highest direct vacancy rate of the Tri-Cities and the L.A. West submarkets. In addition, we have seen increased interest on the two new buildings we are building at Lantana in Santa Monica, California. On December 31, 2006, our Total Los Angeles County (excluding LACBD) portfolio was 92.1% leased, with approximately 140,500 square feet available for lease. Throughout 2007, we will be focused on increasing occupancy, primarily at Glendale Center, which ended the year at 80.9% leased due to a significant lease expiration in the second quarter of 2006.
Orange County, California. According to Cushman Wakefield, the Orange County submarket ended the year with a direct vacancy rate of 7.4% down from 8.5% at the end of 2005. The decrease in vacancy rates helped further increase rental rates in the county. The outlook for the county is optimistic in light of limited new construction in a tightly constrained market and the passage of ballot Measure M in November 2006, which is an important transportation initiative that will have a 30-year term with expected revenues of $12 billion including 25% earmarked for mass transit. As of December 31, 2006 our total Orange County portfolio was 89.3% leased, with approximately 364,100 square feet available for lease. Our primary leasing focus in the submarket during 2007 will be to increase occupancy at Park Place, which ended the year 84.7% leased due to a significant lease termination in December 2006. In addition, we will be completing construction on our 3161 Michaelson building at Park Place in the third quarter of 2007 and will continue to lease the project during the year. The project is already 59% pre-leased.
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 3.9%. As of December 31, 2006, our total San Diego County portfolio was 95.7% leased, with approximately 79,300 square feet available for lease. Our primary leasing focus in this submarket during 2007 will be to continue increasing occupancy at Regents Square and Pacific Center, both of which ended the year at 91.1% leased. In addition, we will be completing construction on our 92,000 square foot building at Mission City during the fourth quarter of 2007 and will commence leasing that building in 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies |
|
Investments in Real Estate and Real Estate Entities including Property Acquisitions |
|
The price that we pay to acquire a property is impacted by many factors, including the condition of the buildings and improvements, the occupancy of the building, the existence of above and below market tenant leases, the creditworthiness of the tenants, favorable or unfavorable financing, above or below market ground leases and numerous other factors. Accordingly, we are required to make subjective assessments to allocate the purchase price paid to acquire investments in real estate among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our estimate of the fair values of such assets and liabilities. This includes determining the value of the buildings and improvements, land, any ground leases, tenant improvements, in-place tenant leases, tenant relationships, the value (or negative value) of above (or below) market leases and any debt assumed from the seller or loans made by the seller to us. Each of these estimates requires a great deal of judgment and some of the estimates involve complex calculations. Our calculation methodology is summarized in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. These allocation assessments have a direct impact on our results of operations because if we were to allocate more value to land there would be no depreciation with respect to such amount or if we were to allocate more value to the buildings as opposed to allocating to the value of tenant leases, this amount would be recognized as an expense over a much longer period of time, since the amounts allocated to buildings are depreciated over the estimated lives of the buildings whereas amounts allocated to tenant leases are amortized over the terms of the leases. Additionally, the amortization of value (or negative value) assigned to non-market rate leases is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenue as compared to amortization of the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, which is included in depreciation and amortization in our consolidated statements of operations.
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate we would depreciate such investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.
When circumstances such as adverse market conditions indicate a possible impairment of the value of a property, we review the recoverability of the property’s carrying value. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Since cash flows on properties considered to be long-lived assets to be held and used are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether an asset has been impaired, our established strategy of holding properties over the long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material. If we determine that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. No such impairment losses have been recognized to date.
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 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.
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 $0.7 million and $0.9 million as of
December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. These receivables are included in Due from Affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets and were current as of December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, 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. These receivables are included in Due from Affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets and were current as of December 31, 2006.
We have a full-service, ten-year lease in place for the corporate offices at 1733 Ocean Avenue, a property beneficially owned by Robert F. Maguire III, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which commenced in July 2006. The lease is for 17,207 square feet of rentable area on the fourth floor. The lease had an initial annual stated rent of $929,178 and an effective initial annual rent of $680,245 after accounting for a priority cash flow participation for the amount of $248,933 for the first lease year in our favor. The priority cash flow participation is a rent credit that effectively decreases our net rent to rates comparable to rates in downtown Los Angeles that went into effect upon the lease commencement due to the property being stabilized. It increases at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum on each anniversary of the lease commencement date throughout the initial lease term. (See Item 8, Note 18 of “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information.)
On February 23, 2006, we entered into irrevocable waivers of our rights under option agreements with respect to certain properties or property interests owned directly or indirectly by Mr. Maguire. The waivers were unanimously approved by our board of directors. The waivers relinquish our rights to acquire any of the subject option properties now or in the future and provide that the option agreements, including the related rights of first offer, be terminated. Additionally, our board of directors voted to terminate a “right of first offer” agreement with respect to a 1.4 million square foot office, hotel and retail property located in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area (“Solana”), and a 322-acre Solana land parcel also owned by Mr. Maguire. We will continue to be compensated for asset management and leasing services for Western Asset Plaza, 1733 Ocean Avenue and Solana properties. Mr. Maguire voluntarily paid us $0.7 million for reimbursement of costs incurred in connection with the waivers and right of first offer termination.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2006 to the Year Ended December 31, 2005. |
|
Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 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 KPMG Tower, US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower - Los Angeles, Gas Company Tower, Plaza Las Fuentes, Glendale Center, the Westin® Pasadena Hotel, Lantana Media Campus, Park Place I, Park Place II and our property management, leasing and development operations. We owned each of these for the entire period presented in both years.
References below to the “Acquisition Properties” include the results of the CWP portfolio (acquired March 15, 2005), World Trade Center Garage (acquired May 31, 2005), 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 CWP portfolio acquisition property), San Diego Tech Center, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus and Cerritos, 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 $31.7 million, or 10.6%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture partially offset by the Acquisition Properties.
Rental revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased by $1.7 million, or 0.9%, primarily due to the second quarter expirations of two significant leases, the first at KPMG Tower and the second at Glendale Center and non-cash write-offs incurred in connection with a significant lease termination at Park Place I, partially offset by a significant lease commencement at Park Place II.
Total Portfolio tenant reimbursement revenue decreased $20.6 million, or 18.9%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture, partially offset by the Acquisition Properties.
Hotel operations revenue increased $3.0 million, or 12.6%, due to improved hotel performance. The average daily room rate increased to $173.92, or 11.6%, from $155.89 and revenue per available room increased to $141.92, or 12.1%, from $126.61, all compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of the completion of our renovation of rooms and hotel common areas during the third quarter of 2005.
The 10.1% increase in hotel operating and maintenance expenses was primarily due to an increase in occupancy.
Total Portfolio parking revenue decreased $4.8 million, or 10.8%, primarily due the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture partially offset by the Acquisition Properties.
Management, leasing and development services to affiliates |
|
Total Portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue to affiliates increased $5.0 million, or 167.3%, 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 $24.2 million, or 313.1%, primarily due to the recognition of $20.3 million in income associated with a significant lease termination at Park Place in December 2006. In addition, we recognized $3.2 million in unamortized deferred swap gains upon the refinancing of the Gas Company Tower loan and earned higher interest income on higher average cash balances compared to prior years.
Rental property operating and maintenance expense |
|
Total Portfolio rental property operating and maintenance expense decreased by $8.2 million, or 8.2%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture partially offset by the Acquisition Properties and our Same Properties Portfolio.
Rental property operating and maintenance expense for our Same Properties Portfolio increased by $2.6 million, or 4.3%, primarily due to increased insurance premiums and additional building and safety repairs throughout the Same Store Portfolio. Tenant reimbursement revenue did not increase at the same rate due to decreased occupancy at KPMG Tower and Glendale Center; both properties experienced significant lease expirations as described above.
Total Portfolio real estate taxes decreased $7.2 million, or 16.9%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture, partially offset by the Acquisition Properties.
Total Portfolio parking expenses increased $0.4 million, or 3.4%, 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 $1.0 million, or 10.9%, 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 $15.3 million, or 70.6%. Current year results include increased expenses due to additional corporate employees hired (including two new executives) and related costs as a result of the growth in our infrastructure due to acquisitions made since our IPO and increased stock compensation costs due to the adoption of the Executive Equity Plan. We also granted $1.0 million of fully vested common stock and $10.0 million in unvested restricted common stock (vesting equally over a five-year period) related to the hire of two new executives on June 30, 2006. In addition, we incurred $3.5 million of costs in connection with consideration of strategic alternatives, which we are no longer pursuing.
Total Portfolio ground lease expense decreased $2.1 million, or 79.6% due to the sale of One California Plaza and Cerritos to the Joint Venture. One California Plaza and Cerritos are no longer consolidated.
Depreciation and amortization expense |
|
Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased $22.2 million, or 13.3%, primarily due to the sale of five properties to the Joint Venture offset by the Same Store Properties and the Acquisition Properties.
Depreciation and amortization expense for our Same Store Properties increased $3.7 million, or 4.1%, primarily due to write-offs associated with a significant lease termination at Park Place I in December 2006.
Total Portfolio interest expense decreased $20.1 million, or 12.8%, 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 partially offset by increased interest paid on the Gas Company Tower debt.
Loss from early extinguishment of debt |
|
Total Portfolio loss from early extinguishment of debt was $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, comprised of 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; the write off of $4.8 million of unamortized loan fees related to the repayment of the Term Loan; the write off of $1.8 million of unamortized loan fees related to the Gas Company Tower refinancing; and the payment of $0.6 million in prepayment penalties and the recognition of a $0.4 million write off of unamortized loan fees related to the 777 Tower refinancing. During the year ended December 31, 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 $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. There was no comparable activity for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Gain on sale of real estate |
|
Gain on sale of real estate was $108.5 million for the year ended December 31, 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 $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to minority interests attributable to loss of $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, due to a $112.8 million increase in income primarily due to a gain on sale of properties to the Joint Venture recognized in the year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. There were no discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2005 to the Year Ended December 31, 2004. |
|
Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 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 separately presented the results of our “Same Properties Portfolio.” Our Same Properties Portfolio includes the results of Gas Company Tower, One California Plaza, 808 South Olive Garage, KPMG Tower, US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower - Los Angeles, Cerritos, Plaza Las Fuentes, the Westin® Pasadena Hotel, 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” includes, in addition to the above, 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, San Diego Tech Center from April 6, 2005 and World Trade Center Garage from May 31, 2005, the dates we acquired such properties. In addition, our Total Portfolio amounts include the results of the properties acquired as part of the CommonWealth 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 (sold on June 29, 2005) included in income as a part of discontinued operation, are collectively referred to as the “Acquisition Properties.”

Total portfolio rental revenue increased by $110.8 million, or 59.0%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties. Rental revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $1.6 million, or 1.0%, primarily due to the March 2005 expiration of a 162,827 square foot lease at US Bank Tower (approximately 129,800 square feet remained vacant at expiration), offset by revenue recognized due to slight increases in occupancy in our LACBD portfolio.
Total portfolio tenant reimbursement revenue increased $29.5 million, or 37.1%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
Tenant reimbursement revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $4.7 million, or 6.1%, primarily due to rental property and operating expense decreases as a result of lower insurance premiums, real estate taxes and more efficient operations.
Hotel operations revenue increased $3.5 million, or 17.1%, due to increases in both our occupancy rates and our average daily rate. Average occupancy increased to 81.2% from 74.0%, the average daily room rate increased to $155.89, or 9.8%, from $142.00 and revenue per available room increased to $126.61, or 20.5%, from $105.03, all compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of the room and common area renovations completed during 2004 and 2005.
The 8.6% increase in hotel operating and maintenance expenses was primarily due to increased occupancy.
Total portfolio parking revenue increased $10.9 million, or 32.3%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties, and to a lesser extent, an increase in occupancy and contractual parking rates across our portfolio in July 2005.
Management, Leasing and Development Services to Affiliates |
|
Total portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue to affiliates increased $0.7 million, or 30.5%, primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in leasing commissions earned from Solana during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to leasing commissions earned during the year ended December 31, 2004. This was offset by the lack of development fees earned during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the $0.7 million in development fees earned from Western Asset Plaza during year ended December 31, 2004.
Interest and Other Revenue |
|
Total portfolio interest and other revenue increased $5.0 million, or 185.0% primarily due to termination fees earned at the Acquisition Properties.
Rental Property Operating and Maintenance Expense |
|
Total portfolio rental property operating and maintenance expense increased by $30.7 million, or 44.3%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
Rental property operating and maintenance expense for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $4.2 million, or 7.1%, primarily due to lower insurance premiums and lower utility costs. 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.
Total portfolio real estate taxes increased $17.9 million, or 73.3%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
Real estate tax expense for our Same Store Properties decreased $0.4 million, or 1.9%, 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 $2.7 million, or 28.8%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties.
General and Administrative and Other Expense |
|
Total portfolio general and administrative and other expense increased $4.2 million, or 23.7%, 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 year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense |
|
Total portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $80.3 million, or 92.7%, primarily due to the Acquisition Properties as well as a $3.8 million increase in our Same Properties Portfolio due to increased tenant improvements, lease commissions and other deferred lease costs.
Total portfolio interest expense increased $93.0 million, or 144.9%, primarily due to financing costs associated with the Acquisition Properties and an $8.1 million increase related to the Same Properties Portfolio.
The $8.1 million, or 14.5%, increase in the Same Properties Portfolio is primarily related to our KPMG Tower mortgage, which was refinanced with a $210.0 million mortgage loan at a fixed rate of 5.14% in November 2004 compared to a $195.0 million variable rate mortgage loan that averaged 3.17% in 2004 before the refinancing, an increase in LIBOR rates on the $280.0 million Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive variable-rate loans, and an increase in interest paid due to higher line of credit borrowings in 2005, offset by $1.9 million in higher amortization of deferred gain from the 2004 sale of the $280.0 million fixed-rate debt swaps on our Gas Company Tower and 808 South Olive debt during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004.
In connection with financing the CommonWealth 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 year ended December 31, 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 (“WAMU”) 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%. On November 21, 2005, we repaid the WAMU $45.2 million seller-financed note payable bearing interest at 2.82%, which was fully collateralized with a letter of credit fully secured by a cash deposit bearing interest at 2.82%. 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%. 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% and on November 9, 2005, we repaid the remaining $44.0 million with the proceeds from the land sold to BOSA at Park Place II and a draw on our credit facility.
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 repayment of debt secured by Park Place II, one of our Acquisition Properties, on March 15, 2005 and November 9, 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 $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to minority interests attributable to income from continuing operations of $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to a $70.5 million reduction in income from continuing operations. In addition, we incurred a full year of preferred dividends for the year ended December 31, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 and gains and 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 equity 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 company’s FFO to our company’s net income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands except for per share amounts):

(1) | Based on a weighted average interest in our Operating Partnership of 86.1%, 81.5% and 79.8% for the years ended December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. |
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 December 31, 2006, total cash reserves for leasing commissions and tenant improvements amounted to $46.7 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, 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.
To fund a portion of the CommonWealth portfolio acquisition, we completed a $450.0 million, five-year financing (the “Term Loan”) with Credit Suisse First Boston (“CSFB”), which we repaid during 2006. In connection with the issuance of the Term Loan, CSFB originated a $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility 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 Term Loan and revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries, and are secured by deeds of trust on Plaza Las Fuentes, the WestinÒ Pasadena Hotel, 755 South Figueroa, 207 Goode and Pacific Arts Plaza West properties, the undeveloped land at Washington Mutual Irvine Campus, pledges of equity in substantially all property owning subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership and pledges of our interest in the equity of the properties that are part of the Joint Venture. As of December 31, 2006, we had no borrowings outstanding on our revolving credit facility.
As of December 31, 2006, we had $200.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, including $99.2 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 have not yet been redeployed and cash impound accounts for real estate taxes, and insurance and leasing reserves as required by several of our mortgage loans.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, we repaid the remainder 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 refinancings of Glendale Center, Gas Company Tower and 777 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.
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 December 31, 2006, we achieved a debt to market capitalization level of 53.5% and a fixed charge coverage ratio before loss from early extinguishment of debt and gain on sale of real estate of 1.67. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 99% of our outstanding debt is now fixed (including hedges) at a weighted average interest rate of 5.4% for a weighted average remaining term of approximately 6.4 years.
Certain of our mortgage and other secured loans are guaranteed by our Operating Partnership and/or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries.
On February 13, 2007, we entered into an agreement to purchase the Los Angeles and Orange County office portfolio from various entities controlled by Blackstone Real Estate Advisors. Including closing costs and reserves, the total acquisition costs are expected to be approximately $3.1 billion. If we fail to close on this transaction, we will be required to pay liquidated damages in the amount of $100 million.
To facilitate the acquisition of this portfolio, we intend to form an 80/20 joint venture in which we expect to raise $500 million in equity from a partner. We intend to fund our $125 million share of joint venture equity from various sources, including cash on hand, a new corporate term loan, a draw on our revolving credit facility, refinancing proceeds from property level debt and subsequently proceeds from anticipated asset sales. We intend to sell certain existing stabilized assets by the end of the third quarter of 2007, to generate approximately $700 million in cash, and to reduce existing indebtedness. We expect the joint venture will obtain permanent, long-term, fixed rate financing in the amount of $2.5 billion. If the joint venture is not in place at the time of closing, we intend to close the acquisition through a combination of a $2.5 billion CMBS bridge facility and a $625 million corporate term loan.
In the event the joint venture is not formed by closing, and the transaction is funded solely through property level debt and a corporate term loan, we expect our debt to market capitalization will be approximately 71.0% based on a stock price of $40 per share. Upon completion of the anticipated joint venture and asset sales, described above, we expect that our debt to market capitalization will be approximately 51.0% based on a stock price of $40 per share.
We expect to fund reserves for property improvements, leasing costs and other requirements for the proposed acquisition out of property level debt funded at closing, which along with operations, will be sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity needs for the acquired properties through our initial two-year period of ownership, including recurring non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures, debt service requirements, tenant improvement and leasing commissions.
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 common Units at a rate of $0.40 per share of common stock and Unit, equivalent to an annual rate of $1.60 per share of common stock 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 Series A Preferred Stock, equivalent to an annual rate of $1.9064 per share of Series A Preferred Stock.
As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $2.79 billion of outstanding consolidated debt. This indebtedness was comprised of mortgages secured by eighteen properties, two construction loans and one mezzanine loan secured by a pledge of the equity interests of the fee owners of Wateridge Plaza. The weighted average interest rate on this indebtedness as of December 31, 2006 was 5.36% (based on the 30-day LIBOR rate at December 31, 2006 of 5.32%). As of December 31, 2006, our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately 53.5% of our consolidated total market capitalization of $5.2 billion (based on a common stock price of $40.00 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on December 31, 2006). Our ratio of debt and preferred stock to total market capitalization was approximately 58.3%. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $176.9 million, or 6.3%, of our total consolidated debt was variable-rate debt. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $2,617.5 million, or 93.7%, of our total consolidated debt was subject to fixed interest rates. Total market capitalization as of December 31, 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 46,985,241 shares of our common stock and 7,405,916 Units.

The terms of our secured revolving credit facility 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 December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
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.
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.
| | Year Ended December 31, | | | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | Increase/ Decrease | |
| | (in thousands) | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 105,992 | | $ | 104,817 | | $ | 1,175 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | | | (65,426 | ) | | (1,494,618 | ) | | 1,429,192 | |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | | 15,523 | | | 1,370,340 | | | (1,354,817 | ) |
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2006 to Year Ended December 31, 2005 |
|
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1.2 million. The increase was primarily due to a full year’s impact of positive net operating cash flows from the acquisitions made in 2005 as well as a large termination fee received in the current year with no comparable fee received in the prior year. This increase is offset by the loss of positive operating cash flow from Cerritos, 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 year ended December 31, 2005.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $1.4 billion. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.36 billion reduction in acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2006 (Pacific Center and 701 North Brand) compared to 2005 (CWP Portfolio and San Diego Tech Center). Other factors included a $225.6 million increase in proceeds from sales of real estate, partially offset by a $106.2 million increase in expenditures for improvements for real estate (primarily construction activity at 3161 Michelson) and a $45.3 million increase in restricted cash (due to funding of lender reserves in connection with the re-financing of Glendale Center, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower during 2006).
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $1.4 billion. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in debt proceeds associated with the decreased level of acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 2005 (CWP Portfolio and San Diego Tech Center). Excess net proceeds from the various property re-financing transactions (Glendale Center, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower) during 2006 as well as excess proceeds from the Joint Venture transaction were used to repay our revolving line of credit and the Term Loan.
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 do not expect that the impact of this guidance will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
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 2006 beginning balances for the affected assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the fiscal 2006 opening balance in retained earnings. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 157 for fiscal year 2008 and do not expect its adoption to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
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.
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 December 31, 2006, we had outstanding approximately $2,794.3 million in consolidated debt of which approximately $176.8 million, or 6.3%, was variable-rate debt.
At December 31, 2006 the fair value of our fixed-rate debt is estimated to be $2,551.4 million, compared to its carrying value of $2,617.5 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 50 basis points, the increase in interest expense on our $176.8 million in consolidated variable-rate debt would decrease future annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.9 million. A 50 basis points increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our $2,617.5 million principal amount of consolidated fixed-rate debt by $66.3 million and the fair value of our interest rate cap agreements would increase by $0.8 million. If interest rates were to decrease by 50 basis points, the decrease in interest expense on our $176.8 million in consolidated variable-rate debt would increase our future annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.9 million and would increase the fair value of our $2,617.5 million principal amount of consolidated fixed-rate debt by approximately $61.7 million and the fair value of our interest rate cap agreements would decrease by $0.1 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.
Our remaining exposure to interest rate risk at December 31, 2006 includes the $62.88 million mortgage on Wateridge Plaza and the $240.0 million 3161 Michelson construction loan, of which only $113.5 million was outstanding as of December 31, 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 December 31, 2006). 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.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Maguire Properties, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Maguire Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Maguire Properties, Inc.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Maguire Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Maguire Properties, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 1, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

1. Organization and Description of Business |
|
The terms “Maguire Properties,” “us,” “we” and “our” as used in this report refer to Maguire Properties, Inc. Through our controlling interest in Maguire Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) of which we are the sole general partner, and the subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, including Maguire Properties TRS Holdings, Inc. (“TRS Holdings”) and Maguire Properties Services, Inc. (the “Services Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively known as the “Services Companies”), we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate located in: the greater Los Angeles area of California; Orange County, California; San Diego, California; and Denver, Colorado. These locales primarily consist of office properties, parking garages, a retail property and a hotel. We are a full service real estate company and we operate as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.
We were formed to succeed to certain businesses of the Maguire Properties’ predecessor (the “Predecessor”), which was not a legal entity but rather a combination of numerous real estate entities collectively doing business as Maguire Partners, an owner, developer and acquirer of institutional-quality properties in the Los Angeles real estate market since 1965. We were incorporated, and our Operating Partnership was formed, in Maryland on June 26, 2002, and our Services Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 15, 2002, each in anticipation of our initial public offering of common stock (the “IPO”), which was consummated on June 27, 2003 concurrently with the consummation of various formation transactions. These transactions consolidated the ownership of the portfolio of properties and property interests, and a substantial majority of the real estate management, leasing and development business of the Predecessor, into our Operating Partnership and our Services Companies. From inception through June 27, 2003, neither we, our Operating Partnership nor our Services Companies had any operations.
On June 27, 2003, we commenced operations after completing the IPO, which consisted of the sale of 36,510,000 shares of common stock. On July 28, 2003, we issued an additional 5,476,500 shares of common stock as a result of the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. On January 23, 2004, we completed the offering of 10 million shares of our 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (liquidation preference $25.00 per share) (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).
Our operations are carried out primarily through our Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including our Services Companies. Pursuant to contribution agreements among the owners of the Predecessor and our Operating Partnership, our Operating Partnership received a contribution of direct and indirect interests in connection with the IPO in certain of the properties, as well as certain assets of the management, leasing and real estate development operations of the Predecessor in exchange for limited partnership units in our Operating Partnership (“Units”). Our Operating Partnership also acquired additional interests in certain properties from unaffiliated parties, which were paid for in cash. As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 our company held 86.4%, 85.1% and 80.4% of the common Units of our Operating Partnership.
Through our Operating Partnership, we own whole or partial interests in 24 office and retail projects, a 350-room hotel with offsite parking garages and on-site structured and surface parking (our “Total Portfolio”). Excluding the 80% interest that we do not own in Maguire Macquarie Office, LLC (the “Joint Venture”), an unconsolidated joint venture formed in conjunction with Macquarie Office Trust (“MOF”) (see Note 11), our share of the Total Portfolio is approximately 12.7 million square feet and is referred to as our “Effective Portfolio.” Our Effective Portfolio represents our economic interest in the office, hotel 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 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 (unaudited):

As of December 31, 2006, the majority of our existing portfolio is located in nine Southern California markets: the Los Angeles Central Business District (“LACBD”); the Tri-Cities area of Pasadena, Glendale and Burbank; the Cerritos submarket; the Santa Monica Professional and Entertainment submarket; the John Wayne Airport and Costa Mesa submarkets of Orange County; and the University Towne Center (“UTC”), Sorrento Mesa and Mission Valley submarkets of San Diego County. We also own one property, Wells Fargo Center, located in Denver, Colorado (a joint venture property). Our portfolio includes six office properties in the LACBD - US Bank Tower, Gas Company Tower, KPMG Tower, Wells Fargo Tower - Los Angeles, 777 Tower and One California Plaza (a joint venture property) — and four off-site parking garages. In the Tri-Cities submarket, we own the Plaza Las Fuentes office and the WestinÒ Pasadena Hotel properties in Pasadena and the Glendale Center, 700 North Central, 701 North Brand and 801 North Brand properties (collectively the “Glendale properties”) in Glendale. In the Cerritos submarket, we own the Cerritos Corporate Center Phase I and Phase II (“Cerritos”) (joint venture properties), collectively known as the Cingular Wireless Western Regional Headquarters. In the Santa Monica Professional and Entertainment submarket, we own the Lantana Media Campus. Our portfolio also includes Park Place I, Park Place II and the Washington Mutual Irvine Campus (a joint venture property) located in the John Wayne Airport submarket of Orange County. In the Costa Mesa submarket in Orange County, we own Pacific Arts Plaza. In the UTC submarket of San Diego County, we own Regents Square I and II. We own Wateridge Plaza and San Diego Tech Center (a joint venture property) in the Sorrento Mesa submarket of San Diego County. In the Mission Valley submarket of San Diego County, we own Mission City Corporate Center and Pacific Center.
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 6.6 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.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
Principles of Consolidation and Combination |
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Maguire Properties, Inc., our Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership. The equity method of accounting is utilized to account for investments over which we have significant influence, but not control over major decisions, including the decision to sell or refinance the properties owned by such entities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Investments in Real Estate |
|
Purchase accounting is applied to the assets and liabilities related to all real estate investments acquired from third parties. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, the fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, value of in-place leases, value of tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below market loans, are recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.
The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are determined based on comparable land sales for land and replacement costs adjusted for physical and market obsolescence for the improvements. The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are also determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.
In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above- market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below- market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases and any below- market fixed rate renewal periods.
In addition to the intangible value for above-market leases and the intangible negative value for below- market leases, there is intangible value related to having tenants leasing space in the purchased property, which is referred to as in-place lease value and tenant relationship value. Such value results primarily from the buyer of a leased property avoiding the costs associated with leasing the property and also avoiding rent losses and unreimbursed operating expenses during the lease up period. The estimated avoided costs and avoided revenue losses are calculated and this aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease value and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value for the company’s real estate because such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. Should future acquisitions of properties result in allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, an amount would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship. The value of in-place leases exclusive of the value of above-market in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off.
Project costs clearly associated with the acquisition 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 the Company’s 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 development and construction of the building shell of a real estate project is completed, the costs capitalized to construction in progress recorded in land held for development and disposition are transferred to land and buildings and improvements on the consolidated balance sheets as the historical cost of the property. As of December 31, 2006, and 2005, land held for development and construction in progress in our consolidated balance sheets includes construction in progress of $173.1 million and $24.4 million, respectively. Interest capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $14.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and is included in land held for development and construction in progress in our consolidated balance sheets.
Gain or Losses on Disposition of Real Estate |
|
Gains or losses on the disposition of real estate assets are recorded when the recognition criteria in SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” 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.
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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, and 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 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy.
Cash is invested with quality federally insured institutions that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Cash balances with institutions may be in excess of federally insured limits or may be invested in time deposits that are not insured by the institution, the FDIC, or any other government agency. We have not realized any losses in such cash investments and we believe that these investments are not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Restricted cash primarily consists of deposits for real estate taxes and insurance and leasing and other items as required by certain of our loan agreements.
Deferred leasing commissions and other direct costs associated with the acquisition of tenants (including direct internal costs) are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred leasing costs also include the net carrying value of acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships, which are discussed above in investments in real estate.
Loan costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related loans using a method that approximates the effective-interest method.
Other assets include prepaid expenses, interest receivables, deposits, deferred financing costs and corporate level furniture and fixtures (net of accumulated depreciation).
Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities |
|
Accounts payable and other liabilities include accounts payable, accrued expenses, prepaid tenant rents and accrued interest payable.
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
We commence revenue recognition on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, we evaluate whether we or the lessee is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements. If we are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If we conclude we are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduce revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, we begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct improvements. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. We consider a number of different factors to evaluate whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:
· | whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; |
| |
· | whether the tenant or landlord retain legal title to the improvements; |
| |
· | the uniqueness of the improvements; |
| |
· | the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and |
| |
· | who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements. |
The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment. In making that determination we consider all of the above factors. However, no one factor is determinative in reaching a conclusion.
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The impact of the straight line rent adjustment increased revenue by $7.4 million, $13.6 million and $10.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Additionally, the net impact of the amortization of acquired above market leases and acquired below market leases increased revenue by $7.7 million, $7.9 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 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 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. Upon a tenant’s agreement to terminate a lease early, we accelerate the remaining unamortized assets associated with the tenant through the termination date. These accelerated depreciation and amortization charges are included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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.
Underwriting commissions and other offerings costs related to our IPO and preferred stock offering are reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2003. We have been organized and have operated in a manner that we believe has allowed us to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2003, and we intend to continue to be organized and operate in this manner. As a REIT, we are not required to pay federal corporate income taxes on our taxable income to the extent it is currently distributed to our stockholders.
However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code related to annual operating results, asset diversification, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be organized or able to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.
We have elected to treat each Services Company we own as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”). In general, a TRS may perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the provision to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. There is no tax provision for our Services Companies and Subsidiaries for the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
We report our consolidated financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” We have two reportable segments, office and hotel. The components of the office segment include rental of office, retail and storage space to tenants, parking and other tenant services. The components of the hotel segment include rooms, food and beverage, and other services to hotel

guests. We also have certain corporate level activities including legal, human resources, accounting, finance, and management information systems which are not considered separate operating segments.
We do not allocate our investment in real estate between the hotel and the office portions of the Plaza Las Fuentes property; therefore, separate information related to investment in real estate, expenditures for investments in real estate, and depreciation and amortization is not available for the office and hotel segments. Due to the size of the hotel segment in relation to our consolidated financial statements, we are not required to report segment information for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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). While the provisions of FAS 123(R) were not required until the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005, we elected to adopt FAS 123(R) before the required effective date. 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 of adoption.
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 $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Under the provisions of APB 25, we were not required to recognize compensation expense for stock options. Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, with the adoption of FAS 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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $7.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share if we had recorded compensation expense based on the fair value method for all Equity Classified Awards for the year ended December 31, 2004 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

We enter into derivative contracts to minimize the volatility that changes in interest rates on our variable-rate debt could have on our future cash flows. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. We employ derivatives that are intended to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. Our derivatives are designated as cash flow or fair value hedges under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”
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 (loss), outside of earnings and subsequently recognized to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
3. Related Party Transactions |
|
We have receivables for management fees, development fees, leasing commissions and other operating expense reimbursements from entities controlled by Robert F. Maguire III, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in the amount of $0.7 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. These receivables are included in Due from Affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets and were current as of December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, 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. These receivables are included in Due from Affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets and were current as of December 31, 2006.
We have a full-service, ten-year lease in place for the corporate offices at 1733 Ocean Avenue, a property beneficially owned by Mr. Maguire, which commenced in July 2006. The lease is for 17,207 square feet of rentable area on the fourth floor. The lease had an initial annual stated rent of $929,178 and an effective initial annual rent of $680,245 after accounting for a priority cash flow participation for the amount of $248,933 for the first lease year

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
in our favor. The priority cash flow participation is a rent credit that effectively decreases our net rent to rates comparable to rates in downtown Los Angeles that went into effect upon the lease commencement due to the property being stabilized. It increases at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum on each anniversary of the lease commencement date throughout the initial lease term. (See Note 18 for more information.)
On February 23, 2006, we entered into irrevocable waivers of our rights under option agreements with respect to certain properties or property interests owned directly or indirectly by Mr. Maguire. The waivers were unanimously approved by our board of directors. The waivers relinquish our rights to acquire any of the subject option properties now or in the future and provide that the option agreements, including the related rights of first offer, be terminated. Additionally, our board of directors voted to terminate a “right of first offer” agreement with respect to a 1.4 million square foot office, hotel and retail property located in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area (“Solana”), and a 322-acre Solana land parcel also owned by Mr. Maguire. We will continue to be compensated for asset management and leasing services for Western Asset Plaza, 1733 Ocean Avenue and Solana properties. Mr. Maguire voluntarily paid us $0.7 million for reimbursement of costs incurred in connection with the waivers and right of first offer termination.
Minority interests relate to the interests in our Operating Partnership that are not owned by our company, which, at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, amounted to 13.6% and 14.9%, 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 had the right, commencing on or after August 27, 2004, 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, from August 27, 2004 onwards, 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 period August 27, 2004 through December 31, 2006, our Operating Partnership redeemed a total of 3,593,482 Units upon instruction from limited partners for an equivalent number of shares. Neither the company nor our Operating Partnership received any proceeds from the issuance of the common stock to limited partners.
In addition, the contribution agreements contain a release by us of certain senior officers and directors who are party to contribution agreements (including Mr. Maguire and Richard I. Gilchrist, our former Co-Chief Executive Officer and President) with respect to all claims, liabilities, damages and obligations related to their ownership of the property entities and/or their employment with the Predecessor which existed at the closing of the formation transactions, other than breaches by them or entities related to them, as applicable, of the employment agreements, non-competition agreements and contribution agreements entered into by them and these entities in connection with the formation transactions.

(9) | The credit facility currently bears interest of LIBOR + 1.75%. The spread may fluctuate between 1.50% and 2.00%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. |
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, one-month LIBOR was 5.32% and 4.39%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of our debt was 5.36% as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Except for our mortgage loans for Wells Fargo Tower - Los Angeles, KPMG Tower and Park Place I, our mortgage and mezzanine loans required interest-only payments on a monthly basis with principal due at maturity. Our Wells Fargo Tower mortgage loan required monthly payments of interest only through July 2006 when monthly principal payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule began. 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 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 December 31, 2006, principal payments due for our mortgages and other secured loans are as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2006, of our total secured loans of $2,794.3 million, $114.0 million may be prepaid with no penalty, $508.3 million may be currently defeased, $1,729.2 million may be defeased after various lockout periods (as defined in the underlying loan agreements) and $442.8 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).
Certain mortgage and other secured loans were repaid or defeased, which resulted in prepayment penalties, exit fees and defeasance costs. Such costs along with the write-off of unamortized loan costs, net of loan premiums recorded upon assumption of the debt that was repaid, are presented as loss from early extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, costs resulting in losses from early extinguishment of debt totaled $11.4 million, $2.4 million (including discontinued operations) and $0.8 million, respectively.
On April 20, 2006, we completed a $121.2 million, interest-only ten-year mortgage financing with Greenwich Capital Financial secured by Pacific Center. The mortgage loan has a fixed rate of 5.76% with a maturity date of May 6, 2016. The forward-starting interest rate swap associated with this anticipated mortgage financing was assigned to the lender as part of the transaction in exchange for a lower stated interest rate of 5.76%. Accordingly, we have recorded the borrowing net of a $4.2 million loan discount.
On June 27, 2006, we completed a $125.0 million, interest-only ten-year mortgage refinancing with Nomura Credit and Capital secured by Glendale Center to replace our existing $80.0 million Glendale Center loan. The mortgage loan has a fixed rate of 5.82% with a maturity date of August 11, 2016. We used $33.0 million of the proceeds to paydown our $450.0 million, five-year financing (the “Term Loan”). In connection with the payoff of the existing mortgage and paydown of the Term Loan, we recognized a $4.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt due to a $3.1 million prepayment penalty and a $1.0 million write-off of unamortized loan costs.
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 5.10% 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) previously deferred related to 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 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% (7.57% at December 31, 2006) and will mature on September 30, 2008, with three one-year extension options. As of December 31, 2006, $113.5 million was outstanding on the construction loan.
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 5.84% and matures on November 1, 2013. The forward-starting interest rate swap associated with this anticipated mortgage financing was assigned to the lender as part of the transaction in exchange for a lower stated interest rate of 5.84%. Accordingly, we recorded the borrowing net of a $4.6 million loan discount. 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 recorded $1.0 million in loss from early extinguishment of debt during the fourth quarter due 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 recorded a $1.9 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.
On December 26, 2006, we completed a $39.7 million construction loan financing with Guaranty Bank for the purpose of funding costs pertaining to the construction of a 150,000 square foot office building at the Washington Mutual Irvine campus. The construction loan will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 1.80% (7.18% at December 31, 2006), and will mature on December 30, 2008, with a one-year extension option. As of December 31, 2006, $0.5 million was outstanding on the construction loan.
Certain of our mortgage and other secured loans are guaranteed by our Operating Partnership and/or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries.
The terms of our secured revolving credit facility 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 December 31, 2006, 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.
Mr. Maguire and certain entities owned or controlled by Mr. Maguire and entities controlled by certain former senior executives of our Predecessor have guaranteed a portion of our debt. As of December 31, 2006, $591.8 million of our debt is subject to such guarantees.

7. Stockholders’ Equity |
|
Shares and Units |
|
We pay cumulative dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.90625 per share each year, which is equivalent to 7.625% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears. Our Series A Preferred Stock does not have a stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to our common stock with respect to the payment of distributions. We are not allowed to redeem our Series A Preferred Stock before January 30, 2009, except in limited circumstances to preserve our status as a REIT. On or after January 30, 2009, we may, at our option, redeem our series A preferred stock, in whole or from time to time in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock up to and including the redemption date. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if we fail to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other events. Our Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of our company. We had 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. We own 10,000,000 7.625% Series A Cumulative Preferred Units, representing limited partnership

units in our Operating Partnership, the terms of which have essentially the same economic characteristics as the Series A Preferred Stock.
A Unit and a share of our common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of our Operating Partnership. A Unit may be redeemed for cash, or exchanged for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis after August 27, 2004. We had 46,985,241 and 45,814,651 shares of common stock and 7,405,916 and 7,993,779 of Units outstanding as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, will differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal income tax purposes including the treatment of loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on sale of real estate, revenue recognition, compensation expense and in the basis of depreciable assets and estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.
On December 13, 2006, we declared a dividend to common stockholders of record and our Operating Partnership declared a distribution to Unit holders of record, in each case as of December 31, 2006, of $0.40 per common share and Unit, for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. These dividends and distributions were paid on January 31, 2007. This is equivalent to an annual rate of $1.60 per common share and Unit.
On December 13, 2006, we declared a dividend to holders of record of our Series A Preferred Stock as of December 31, 2006 of $0.4766 per preferred share. This dividend is payable for the quarter ended January 31, 2007 and was paid on January 31, 2007. This is equivalent to an annual rate of $1.9064 per preferred share.

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 70,175 vested on each anniversary date of our IPO in 2004, 2005 and 2006. The remaining 105,265 shares were forfeited upon Rick Gilchrist’s resignation (see below for more information). 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 vested 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 10,309 shares of restricted stock at a range from $23.70 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 10,289 shares of restricted stock (the “2005 Performance Grant”) at a range from $23.70 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 December 31, 2006, all shares of the 2005 Performance Grant have vested.
Between January 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006, we granted 10,604 shares of restricted common stock at a range from $30.90 to $40.53 to employees (excluding certain members of senior management) representing annual grants under our Incentive Award Plan, that vest in three equal annual installments on December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Between January 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006, we granted 10,520 shares of restricted common at a range from $30.90 to $40.53 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 December 31, 2006, 6,968 shares of the 2006 Performance Grant 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.
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 an annualized total shareholder return of 9% or the NAREIT office index during the same period. Management will 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 $3.4 million for 2005 and $3.6 million for 2006 (obtained by a third party appraisal using the Monte Carlo Simulation Method), which will be recorded as compensation expense, on a straight-line basis, over the derived requisite service period of five years. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the compensation expense related to the cost of the senior management compensation program was $1.6 million and $966,700, respectively.
On December 8, 2005, Mr. Gilchrist resigned as a member of our board of directors and effective January 1, 2006 resigned as an officer of our company. As of January 1, 2006, he forfeited 105,263 shares of restricted stock originally valued at $19.00 per share. The remaining 52,632 shares of restricted stock was recognized as compensation cost over the remaining life of the original vesting period on June 27, 2006, in accordance with the terms of Mr. Gilchrist’s consulting agreement.
On June 30, 2006, we hired Paul S. Rutter and Martin A. Griffiths to serve as our Executive Vice President, Major Transactions and Executive Vice President, Operations, respectively. They were granted $11.0 million ($5.5 million each) in restricted common stock valued at $35.17 (the price of one share of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of June 30, 2006) for a total of 312,768 shares (at a purchase price of $0.01 per share). $1.0 million of this award ($500,000 for each executive) or 28,434 shares, vested immediately upon hire. The remaining 284,334 shares will vest equally in each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the effective date of their respective employment agreements. Each of Messers Rutter and Griffiths is also part of the five-year equity compensation program for senior management.
Also on June 30, 2006, Mark T. Lammas was promoted to Executive Vice President, Development and was awarded an additional $2,000,000, or 56,867 shares, of restricted common stock at $35.17 (at a purchase price of $0.01 per share). $1,000,000 of this award, or 28,433 shares, will vest on June 30, 2009 and the remaining $1,000,000 will vest on June 30, 2010.

Upon consummation of our IPO, we granted options to certain officers and independent directors to purchase 530,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $19.00 per share. 500,000 of these options vested on June 27, 2006, the third anniversary of our IPO.

On December 8, 2005, in connection with his election as an independent director to our board of directors to replace Mr. Gilchrist, we granted Mr. Lewis Wolff options to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $31.23. These options vest in equal annual installments on December 8, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
On June 6, 2006, we granted our independent directors options to purchase an aggregate of 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $34.51 in connection with their reelection to the board, which vest in three equal annual installments from the date of grant.
In June 2006, Dallas Lucas our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer exercised a total of 292,900 stock options at $19.00, which vested on June 27, 2006, the third anniversary of our IPO. We received the cash for the exercised options of $5.6 million in July 2006.

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.
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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). For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized $1.3 million in compensation expense related to the Performance Award.
9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires us to disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.
Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, due from affiliates, accounts payable, capital lease payable, dividends and distribution payable and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. As described in Note 10, the interest rate cap and interest rate swap financial instruments are recorded at fair value.
We calculate the fair value of our mortgage and other secured loans based on a currently available market rate assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral. In determining the current market rate for fixed rate debt, a market spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar maturity dates to debt.
On December 31, 2006 the aggregate fair value of our mortgage and other secured loans is estimated to be $2,728.3 million compared to the carrying value of $2,794.3 million. As of December 31, 2005 the fair value of our loans was estimated to be $3,295.6 million compared to the carrying value of $3,353.2 million.
10. 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
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 February 6, 2006, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge an anticipated ten-year, interest-only mortgage loan starting in April 2006 in connection with the $121.2 million financing of Pacific Center that effectively fixed the rate at 5.76%. The notional amount of the swap was $114.0 million, effective in March 2006 with a strike rate of the forward-starting ten-year swap rate of 5.07%. The swap was assigned in April 2006 to the lender at a value of $4.2 million in exchange for a stated interest rate of 5.76% upon completion of the financing.
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 December 31, 2006 was the fair value of the interest rate cap not expensed, which was approximately $41,000, net of minority interest of $5,600, and $8.7 million of deferred gain on the swaps assigned in April 2006 and September 2006, net of minority interests of $1.2 million. Included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2005 was the fair value of the swap outstanding, which was approximately $46,000, net of minority interests of $7,000 and $6.1 million of deferred gain on the swap that we sold, net of minority interests of $0.9 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”). The amount of gain expected to be amortized in the next twelve months is approximately $0.3 million.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (“SFAS”) 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 (loss), outside of earnings and subsequently recognized to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. No ineffectiveness related to our swaps have been recognized in earnings.

11. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture |
|
On November 4, 2005, we contributed One California Plaza to the Joint Venture in exchange for a 95% interest and a $65.0 million unsecured promissory note issued by the Joint Venture. Concurrently, MOF contributed to the Joint Venture $5.9 million in cash and received a 5% interest in the Joint Venture. This initial contribution to the Joint Venture did not qualify as a sale under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” Accordingly, no gain was recognized on the contribution and we continued to consolidate One California Plaza as of December 31, 2005.
On January 5, 2006, we completed the series of transactions contemplated by the Joint Venture agreements. The Joint Venture transactions were comprised of the following:
· | The contribution by us to the Joint Venture of Wells Fargo Center, San Diego Tech Center, Washington Mutual Irvine Campus, Cerritos and One California Plaza (remaining 75% interest) including the Joint Venture’s assumption of $661.25 million of mortgage debt secured by four of the properties, in exchange for a 20% interest in the Joint Venture and $382.0 million in cash, including $19.0 million representing a distribution to us of our 20% share in new mortgage debt issued by the Joint Venture which is secured by Cerritos as discussed below. The contribution of San Diego Tech Center excluded undeveloped land approved for 1.2 million square feet of office entitlements and the contribution of Washington Mutual Irvine Campus excluded undeveloped land approved for 150,000 square feet of office entitlements; |
| |
· | The issuance of $95.0 million in new mortgage financing by the Joint Venture secured by Cerritos, with a fixed interest rate of 5.54% and a maturity date of February 1, 2016. Our Operating Partnership provided a payment guarantee to the Joint Venture with respect to this mortgage through January 5, 2009; |
| |
· | The contribution by MOF of Stadium Gateway and cash in exchange for an 80% interest in the Joint Venture; and |
| |
· | The contribution by us of $5.6 million cash in exchange for a 20% interest in Stadium Gateway. |
| |
As a result of the Joint Venture transactions, we received net cash proceeds of $376.4 million, consisting of $363.0 million relating to MOF’s 80% acquisition of the five assets we contributed to the Joint Venture, $19.0 million representing the distribution of our 20% pro rata share of mortgage financing net proceeds issued by the
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Joint Venture and secured by Cerritos, net of $5.6 million in cash we paid to fund the acquisition of our 20% interest in Stadium Gateway.
We recognized a gain on sale of approximately $108.5 million on our sale of the five assets to the Joint Venture related to MOF’s acquisition of an 80% interest in these five assets. Our gain on sale was reduced by approximately $57.2 million related to various items as further described below. We recorded our 20% interest retained in the Joint Venture at 20% of our historical net book value of the five properties contributed and fair value paid for Stadium Gateway.
As a result of our guarantee (considered continuing involvement that precludes gain recognition under GAAP) of the new mortgage financing issued by the Joint Venture which is secured by Cerritos, we deferred the $20.4 million gain on sale related to that property, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. The gain will be recognized once our debt guarantee expires.
In connection with the Joint Venture contribution agreements for One California Plaza, Wells Fargo Center - Denver and San Diego Tech Center, we agreed to fund certain future existing and contingent obligations, including:
· | Approximately $15.7 million in future tenant lease obligations, including tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions; and |
| |
· | Approximately $5.0 million in master lease payments through January 4, 2007 for certain vacant spaces until they are leased. |
| |
Accordingly, we have reduced our gain on sale by approximately $20.7 million, representing our maximum funding exposure under these obligations. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $7.9 million of these obligations remain outstanding, which are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidating balance sheet.
We have also agreed to provide property management services to the five properties we contributed to the Joint Venture for the three year period ending January 5, 2009 at no consideration, other than the reimbursement of direct property management expenses incurred. Accordingly, we have reduced our gain on sale by approximately $8.6 million, representing prepaid revenue for the property management services we will provide through January 2009, $5.9 million of which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006.
In addition, $7.5 million of the purchase price is contingently refundable to MOF until January 5, 2009 if the five properties we contributed do not meet certain pre-defined annual income targets for the three year period ended January 5, 2009. Accordingly, we have reduced our gain on sale by approximately $7.5 million, representing contingent consideration, $5.2 million of which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. During 2006, the Joint Venture did not meet certain income targets and we paid $2.3 million to cover the shortfall.
In accordance with the Joint Venture agreement, both we and MOF have rights of first offer to co-invest in any Southern California acquisition opportunities meeting certain defined criteria that the other party intends to acquire. In addition, MOF has a right to acquire up to a 50% interest in our development projects at Washington Mutual Irvine Campus and San Diego Tech Center at 92.5% of stabilized value, which is determined upon 90% occupancy of the project.

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109.” 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 do not expect that the impact of this guidance will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
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 2006 beginning balances for the affected assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
the fiscal 2006 opening balance in retained earnings. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We are required to adopt SFAS 157 for fiscal year 2008 and do not expect its adoption to have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
13. Property Acquisitions |
|
On March 15, 2005, we completed the acquisition of an office portfolio of ten properties and three separate land parcels from FSP 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 acquired properties are located in the states of California, Arizona, Colorado and Texas. The portfolio consisted of properties totaling approximately 4.9 million rentable square feet and developable land that management believes can support approximately an additional 1.5 million square feet of office improvements, including incidental retail. The following table details the rentable square feet per property as of December 31, 2006:
Properties | | Location | | Rentable Area (Square Feet) (Unaudited) |

On April 6, 2005, we completed the acquisition of San Diego Tech Center, a 38-acre technology-oriented 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%.
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.
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
On February 6, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Pacific Center, a 6.4-acre office campus with two 10-story buildings located in the Mission Valley submarket of San Diego, California. The purchase price for Pacific Center was approximately $149.0 million and was paid for in cash from the net proceeds of our joint venture.
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 (the seller) that bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.87%.
14. 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 foot 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 $0.2 million is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.
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 $25.10 per square foot 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 $0.2 million is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.
On November 9, 2005, we sold approximately seven acres of land at Park Place II to BOSA for $39.6 million under an existing contract we assumed with our acquisition of Park Place II in July 2004. Accordingly no gain was recognized on this transaction.
On March 28, 2006, we sold 808 South Olive Garage (the “808 Garage”), a parking garage located in downtown Los Angeles, California, for $26.5 million to Zaytim, LLC. Certain tenants of the Gas Company Tower and US Bank Tower are required under their existing leases to purchase monthly off-site parking passes through the end of their lease terms. The Gas Company Tower and US Bank Tower have historically met this offsite parking requirement through an existing parking easement agreement between the Gas Company Tower and the 808 Garage. This easement was amended and restated (the “Amended Parking Easement”) in connection with the sale of the 808 Garage to Zaytim, LLC on March 28, 2006. In accordance with the Amended Parking Easement Agreement, the 808 Garage is obligated to provide a specified number of monthly parking spaces (initially 777 spaces, decreasing to 553 spaces on June 1, 2007 and 498 spaces on July 1, 2010 and expiring on November 8, 2011) to the Gas Company Tower in exchange for receiving specified fixed monthly payments, representing both consideration for the parking spaces provided as well as a reimbursement of a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the 808 Garage. Zaytim, LLC will receive approximately $8.6 million in consideration for the period from March 28, 2006 through November 8, 2011 from the Gas Company Tower in connection with the Amended Parking Easement Agreement. For accounting purposes, the Amended Parking Easement is considered a lease and as a result, the transaction is considered a sale-leaseback with a sublease to the tenants at Gas Company Tower and US Bank Tower. As a result, this transaction does not qualify as a sale under SFAS 66 or a sale-leaseback under SFAS 98, and will be accounted for as a financing. The net sales consideration of $25.3 million received from Zaytim, LLC has been recorded as a liability and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.
15. Discontinued Operations |
|
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

In addition to the minimum fixed rents, the leases include formulas for variable contingent rent. For each of the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, rent expense related to this lease was equal to the fixed rent as the conditions for payment of contingent rent had not been met. Rental expense totaled approximately $543,000, $2,664,000 and $2,657,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

In connection with the sales of Austin Research Park I and II and One Renaissance Square in June 2005, we entered into leases with the respective buyers to lease vacant space through April 2007 and March 2007, respectively (see Note 15 for more information). We have the option to terminate these leases in the event that we sublease the space to a tenant or tenants for an equal amount of rent.
In connection with the sale of five properties to MOF, in January 2006, we entered into leases with the Joint Venture to lease space through January 4, 2007.
The minimum commitment under these leases as of December 31, 2006 was $0.4 million.
We have a full-service, ten-year lease in place for the corporate offices at 1733 Ocean Avenue, a property beneficially owned by Robert F. Maguire III, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which commenced in July 2006. The lease is for 17,207 square feet of rentable area on the fourth floor. The lease had an initial annual stated rent of $929,178 and an effective initial annual rent of $680,245 after accounting for a priority cash flow participation for the amount of $248,933 for the first lease year in our favor. The priority cash flow participation is a rent credit that effectively decreases our net rent to rates comparable to rates in downtown Los Angeles that went into effect upon lease commencement due to the property being stabilized. It increases at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum on each anniversary of the lease commencement date throughout the initial lease term.
In addition to the lease mentioned above, we entered into a sublease agreement with Rand Corporation on the second and third floors at 1733 Ocean Avenue for additional space for our corporate offices. The sublease is for 10,232 square feet of rentable area located on the second floor which commenced in August 2006 and for 5,344 square feet of rentable area located on the third floor which commenced in April 2006. Both subleases are to expire in May 2014.
The minimum commitment under these leases as of December 31, 2006 was as follows (in thousands):
2007 | | $ | 1,446 | |
2008 | | | 1,487 | |
2009 | | | 1,528 | |
2010 | | | 1,571 | |
2011 | | | 1,609 | |
Thereafter | | | 5,866 | |
Total | | $ | 13,507 | |
Rental expense related to our direct lease with 1733 Ocean Avenue totaled approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Rental expense related to our sublease with Rand Corporation totaled approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $50.9 million, in capital commitments related to tenant improvements, renovation costs and general property-related capital expenditures. In addition, we have approximately $106.4 million in capital commitments related to construction costs.
We generally do not require collateral or other security from our tenants, other than security deposits or letters of credit. However, since we have a significant concentration of rental revenue from certain tenants, the inability of those tenants to make their lease payments could have an adverse effect on the company.

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 believe would have a material adverse effect on us.
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, earthquake, terrorism and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in our portfolio under a blanket policy that also covers certain properties owned by Mr. Maguire, or entities controlled by him. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in the opinion of our management, the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured. Our terrorism insurance is subject to exclusions for loss or damage caused by nuclear substances, pollutants, contaminants and biological and chemical weapons. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from riots. In addition, we carry earthquake insurance on our properties located in seismically active areas and terrorism insurance on all of our properties, in each case in an amount and with deductibles which we believe are commercially reasonable. All of the properties in our portfolio are located in areas known to be seismically active except for one Joint Venture property located in Denver, Colorado.
Hotel Management Agreement |
|
Effective December 20, 2002, we entered into a hotel management agreement with Westin® Management Company West (Westin®) to operate the Westin® Pasadena Hotel. This agreement has a 15 year term and calls for base management fees of 2.5% of gross operating revenue, as defined, in year one, 2.75% in year two and 3.0% thereafter. The agreement also requires incentive management fees, if applicable, based on the computation methodology described in this agreement. Additionally, the agreement called for a $3.5 million payment to be made by Westin® at the inception of agreement, which we amortize as an offset to management fees over a 10-year period. Any unamortized amount is refundable to Westin® in the event that the management agreement is terminated.
We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our executive officers. These agreements provide for salary, bonuses and other benefits, including potentially, severance benefits upon a termination of employment, as well as for grants of restricted common stock, option awards, cash bonuses and tax gross-ups, among other matters.
The Company has a 401(k) benefit plan (the “Plan”) for all full-time employees who have completed twelve months of service. Employees may contribute up to 60% of their compensation, limited by the maximum allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company provides a matching contribution in an amount equal to 50% of the employee contribution. Company contributions are vested over the second through the sixth year of employment at a rate of 20% per year. Company contributions to the Plan were approximately $387,500, $307,000 and $233,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Tax Indemnification Agreements |
|
We have agreed not to sell US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower, KPMG Tower, Gas Company Tower and Plaza Las Fuentes for periods of up to 12 years (lock-out period). We have agreed to indemnify Mr. Maguire and others from all direct and indirect tax consequences if any of these properties are sold during the lockout period. The lockout period does not apply if a property is disposed of in a nontaxable transaction (i.e., §1031 exchange).

On February 13, 2007, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with various entities controlled by Blackstone Real Estate Advisors (“Seller”), to acquire their rights, title and interests in 24 properties (the “Properties”). The Properties, located in Los Angeles County and Orange County, California consist of approximately 7,687,000 rentable square feet (before re-measurement) and developable land that we believe can support approximately 2,186,000 square feet of improvements. We have agreed to purchase the Properties on an as is, where is basis and with all faults and defects, without any representations or warranties, except as expressly set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The total purchase price of the Properties is approximately $2,875.0 million, to be paid in cash at closing.
Our obligation to purchase the Properties under the Purchase Agreement is subject to certain Sellers’s limited representations, warranties and covenants. The transaction is expected to close on or before April 23, 2007. In the event the transaction does not close by reason of our default, Seller may terminate the agreement, and we shall pay liquidated damages in the amount of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000). We intend to seek joint venture partners for substantially all of the assets being acquired. Depending on the timing for completing the joint ventures, we expect to initially finance the purchase of the Properties with a combination of property and corporate level debt, to the extent necessary.
On February 22, 2007, we completed a $26.8 million construction loan financing with Guaranty Bank for the purpose of funding costs pertaining to the construction of a 92,000 square foot office building at Mission City Corporate Center. The construction loan will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 1.80%, and will mature on February 22, 2009, with a one-year extension option.
On February 26, 2007, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved the appointment of Martin A. Griffiths to the position of Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Griffiths has served as our Executive Vice President, Operations since July 2006.

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.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
|
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. We have used the framework set forth in the COSO Report (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is operating effectively as of December 31, 2006. Our independent registered public accounting firm KPMG LLP has audited our financial statements and has issued an attestation report on our assessment of internal control over financial reporting, which appears on the following page of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls |
|
As defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
|
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We may make changes in our internal control processes from time to time in the future.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Maguire Properties, Inc.:
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting that Maguire Properties, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Maguire Properties, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Maguire Properties, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Maguire Properties, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Maguire Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, and our report dated March 1, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
