NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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”), Maguire Properties TRS Holdings II, Inc., 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.
Through our Operating Partnership, as of June 30, 2007, we own whole or partial interests in 40 office and retail projects, a 350-room hotel and 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 9 – Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture), our share of the Total Portfolio is approximately 18.5 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.

We provide management, leasing and development services to the Joint Venture, for which we earn customary fees. We also manage certain properties owned by Robert F. Maguire III, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for which we earn customary fees. As of June 30, 2007, we held 86.4% of the partnership units of our Operating Partnership (“Units”).
As of June 30, 2007, the majority of our existing portfolio is located in twelve 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, Costa Mesa, Central Orange County and Brea 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 in Denver, Colorado (a Joint Venture property).
We are currently developing land parcels adjacent to certain of our properties that we believe can support approximately 2.7 million net rentable square feet of office developments and structured parking. We also own undeveloped land adjacent to certain of our other properties that we believe can support approximately 11.5 million net rentable square feet of office, retail, structured parking and residential uses.

2. Acquisitions and Dispositions |
|
On April 24, 2007, we purchased 24 properties and 11 development sites from Blackstone Real Estate Advisors for $2.875 billion (the “Blackstone Transaction”). The consolidated condensed statement of operations includes the results of operations for the Blackstone Transaction commencing April 24, 2007. The properties are located in Los Angeles and Orange County, California and total approximately 7.7 million rentable square feet and developable land estimated to support approximately 2.2 million square feet of improvements. The purchase price (before reserves and closing costs) was funded through new mortgage financings of $2.28 billion, a bridge mortgage financing of $223.0 million, and a $530.0 million corporate facility comprised of a $400.0 million term loan which was fully drawn at closing (the “Term Loan”), and a $130.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), not yet drawn upon. We funded our $175.0 million cash requirement to close the Blackstone Transaction with excess proceeds from the Wells Fargo Tower refinancing (See Note 6 - Debt).
After we closed the Blackstone Transaction, we sold 8 of the 24 properties acquired and 3 of the 11 development sites which we determined to be non-core assets. Five office properties and two development sites were sold to Bixby Land Company for approximately $344.8 million including the following properties: Inwood Park and the Inwood Park development site, 1201 Dove Street, Fairchild Corporate Center, Redstone Plaza, Bixby Ranch and the Bixby Ranch development site (the “Bixby Transaction”). Three office properties and one development site were sold to Mullrock 4, LLC for approximately $310.0 million including the following properties: Lincoln Town Center, Tower 17, 1100 Executive Tower and the Executive Tower development site (the “Mullrock Transaction”).
The $223.0 million, five-year, interest only bridge mortgage loan, was obtained in order to purchase the Bixby Transaction properties. The loan contained no prepayment provisions if prepaid within 60 days of closing. Upon completion of the Bixby Transaction on May 29, 2007, we completely paid off the Bridge Mortgage Loan and excess proceeds of $118.4 million were used to pay down the Term Loan to a balance of $281.6 million as of June 30, 2007.
In connection with the closing of the Mullrock Transaction in June 2007, we repaid $16.4 million and the buyer assumed $274.0 million in mortgages secured by the three properties, reducing the $2.28 billion in mortgages originated at the closing of the Blackstone Transaction to $1.97 billion (before discounts) as of June 30, 2007. Excess proceeds of $51.1 million are included in unrestricted cash as of June 30, 2007 in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet. These proceeds were used to pay down the Term Loan by $51.1 million on July 3, 2007, to a balance of $230.5 million.
In April 2007, we agreed to sell our existing Wateridge Plaza and Pacific Center projects in San Diego, California to an entity controlled by GE Asset Management (the “GE Transaction”) for approximately $298.2 million. The Wateridge Plaza sale closed on May 2, 2007 resulting in the repayment of the existing $62.9 million Wateridge Plaza mortgage and the receipt of approximately $35.0 million in excess proceeds, which is included in restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. The Pacific Center sale closed on July 2, 2007 resulting in the assumption of the existing $117.5 million mortgage and the receipt of approximately $85.0 million in excess proceeds. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, we used the excess proceeds from the GE Transaction to pay down the Term Loan by $120.0 million ($35.0 million of which is included in restricted cash as of June 30, 2007 in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet) on July 20, 2007 to a balance of $110.5 million.
In connection with repayment or assumption of mortgage debt upon the closing of the Bixby Transaction, the Mullrock Transaction, and the sale of Wateridge Plaza, we recorded an $8.9 million loss

from extinguishment of debt during the three months ended June 30, 2007, which is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations.
In connection with the refinancing and defeasance of the existing Wells Fargo Tower mortgage (See Note 6 - Debt), the replacement of our existing $100.0 million revolving credit facility (See Note 6 - Debt) and the $118.4 million pay down of the Term Loan with the excess proceeds from the Bixby Transaction, all of which occurred due to the Blackstone Transaction, we recorded an $8.3 million loss from extinguishment of debt during the three months ended June 30, 2007 in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations.
3. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
Principles of Consolidation and Combination |
|
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include all of the accounts of Maguire Properties, Inc., the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The equity method of accounting is utilized to account for investments over which we have significant influence, but no 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 condensed financial statements.
The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote discussions normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
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 and other costs that are directly associated with and incremental to our development activities are capitalized during the period in which activities necessary to prepare the property for its intended use are in progress, including the predevelopment and lease-up phases. Once the construction of the building shell of a real estate project is completed, the costs capitalized to construction in progress are transferred from land held for development and construction in progress to land and buildings and improvements on the consolidated condensed balance sheets as the historical cost of the property.
As of June 30, 2007, construction in progress and predevelopment costs were $283.5 million and land held for development was $224.2 million. As of December 31, 2006, construction in progress and predevelopment costs were $173.1 million and land held for development was $169.7 million. Interest capitalized for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 were $11.3 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Interest capitalized during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 were $6.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Real estate held for Sale and Discontinued Operations |
|
Certain long-lived assets are classified as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their fair value less selling costs. Additionally, depreciation of these assets ceases at the time they are classified as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations are defined in SFAS No. 144 as a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or is deemed to be held for sale if both the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. One property, Pacific Center, is included in real estate held for sale in the consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2007.
The operating results of properties meeting the criteria established in SFAS No. 144 are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Discontinued operations includes all of the properties included in the Bixby Transaction, the Mullrock Transaction and the GE Transaction. Total revenues for these properties were $15.3 million, $9.7 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 and $8.8 million and $5.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. (See Note 10 – Discontinued Operations)
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 and other adjustments, as appropriate. Any difference between the carrying amount of the investment on our consolidated condensed balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in earnings or loss of unconsolidated joint venture over 40 years. We record distributions of operating profit from the investment in unconsolidated joint venture as operating cash flow and distributions related to a capital transaction, such as a refinancing transaction or sale, as an investing activity.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates made.
We account for stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and performance awards (together, “Equity Classified Awards”) in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (Revised) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). Stock-based compensation expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 were $4.0 million, $2.2 million, $3.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
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 adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.
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; |
| |
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
· | 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 condensed balance sheets. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status, as well as certain industry or specific credit considerations. If estimates of collectibility differ from the cash received, then the timing and amount of our reported revenue could be impacted. Credit risk is mitigated by the high quality of the existing tenant base, reviews of prospective tenant’s risk profiles prior to lease execution and continual monitoring of our tenant portfolio to identify potential problem tenants.
Tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and other recoverable costs are recognized in the period that the expenses are incurred. Parking income is recognized in the period the revenue is earned. Lease termination fees, which are included in other income in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations, are recognized when the related leases are canceled, the leased space has been vacated and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants. 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 condensed statements of operations.
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 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. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $1.2 million to bring the total allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2007 to a balance of $1.3 million. There were no write offs during this quarter.

We earned management fees, development fees and leasing commissions from entities controlled by Mr. Maguire in the amount of $1.0 million, $0.5 million, $1.2 million and $0.6 million for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These fees are included in Management, Leasing and Development Services to Affiliates in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. The related receivables due from entities controlled by Mr. Maguire as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. These receivables are included in Due from Affiliates in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and were current as of June 30, 2007.

These fees are included in Management, Leasing and Development Services to Affiliates in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. The related receivables due from the Joint Venture of $2.8 million as of June 30, 2007 represent fees earned from the Joint Venture during the quarter, including leasing commissions, and to a lesser extent reimbursements for routine management expenses under our property management agreements with the Joint Venture. The related receivables due from the Joint Venture of $7.6 million as of December 31, 2006 primarily represent funds advanced to the contributed properties to satisfy our pre-closing obligations as they came due in accordance with the contribution agreements and to a lesser extent reimbursements for routine management expenses under our property management agreements with the Joint Venture.
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. Rental expense related to our direct lease with 1733 Ocean Avenue totaled approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
Mr. Maguire has a personal line of credit with Wachovia Bank, N.A. The line is secured by a pledge by Mr. Maguire of 1,567,810 shares of our common stock and 2,040,039 operating partnership units, and is subject to customary margin call provisions.

___________
(1) | The June 30, 2007 one-month LIBOR rate of 5.32% was used to calculate the variable interest rates. |
(2) | At the closing of the Blackstone Transaction, $400.0 million was funded on the Term Loan. Excess proceeds from the Bixby Transaction were used to pay down the Term Loan to a balance of $281.6 million as of June 30, 2007. Subsequent to quarter end, excess proceeds from the Mullrock Transaction and GE Transaction (after the assumption of the existing $117.5 million Pacific Center mortgage) were used to pay down the term loan to a balance of approximately $110.5 million. |
(3) | We have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR rate to a maximum rate of 5.50% for 75.0% of the outstanding balance, excluding extension periods. |
(4) | Three one-year extensions are available at our option subject to certain conditions. |
(5) | One one-year extension available at our option subject to certain conditions. |
(6) | This property was sold on May 2, 2007. |
(7) | As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 6.50% during the loan term, excluding extension period. Three one-year extensions are available at our option subject to certain conditions. |
(8) | As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 6.50% during the loan term, excluding extension period.

(9) | As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to this loan that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 6.00% during the loan term, excluding extension period. Three one-year extensions are available at our option subject to certain conditions. |
(10) | These loans are reflected net of the related debt discount. At June 30, 2007, the total discount for all loans referenced is approximately $21.1 million, of which $3.7 million is attributable to the Pacific Center that was sold on July 2, 2007. |
(11) | On April 5, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell this property. The sale closed on July 2, 2007 on which date the buyer assumed the loan. |
As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, one-month LIBOR was 5.32%. The weighted average interest rate of our debt was 5.77% and 5.36% as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
As of June 30, 2007, of our total secured debt (excluding discontinued operations) of $4,951.3 million, $194.6 million may be prepaid with no penalty, $4,376.7 million may be defeased after various lockout periods (as defined in the underlying loan agreements) and $380.0 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 mortgages and other secured loans are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership and/or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries.
On April 4, 2007, we completed a new $550.0 million, 10-year fixed rate, interest-only financing at a rate of 5.68% on the Wells Fargo Tower. The net proceeds of the refinancing after repayment of the existing $247.1 million mortgage loan and payment of defeasance costs, closing costs and loan reserves were approximately $290.0 million, of which $175.0 million was used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Blackstone Transaction (See Note 2 – Acquisitions and Dispositions).
In connection with the closing of the Blackstone Transaction (See Note 2 – Acquisitions and Dispositions), on April 24, 2007, we obtained a new $530.0 million corporate credit facility, originated by CS, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch & Co which is comprised of a $400.0 million term loan facility, which was fully drawn at the closing of the Blackstone Transaction, and a $130.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which has not yet been drawn upon. The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points, or the base rate, as defined in the agreement, plus 100 basis points, matures in five years on April 24, 2012 and requires quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million with the remaining balance due at maturity. The Revolver bears interest at the same rate as the Term Loan, but matures in four years on April 24, 2011.
Subsequent to closing the Blackstone Transaction, excess sales proceeds from the Bixby Transaction (See Note 2 – Acquisitions and Dispositions) were used to pay down the balance of the Term Loan to $281.6 million, as of June 30, 2007. This pay down satisfies our remaining quarterly principal payment

(Unaudited)
obligations through maturity of the Term Loan. Subsequent to quarter end, excess proceeds of $51.0 million from the Mullrock Transaction and $120.0 million the GE Transaction (See Note 2 – Acquisitions and Dispositions) were used to further pay down the balance of the Term Loan to approximately $110.5 million.
Our revolving credit facility with a capacity of $130.0 million at June 30, 2007, is guaranteed by Maguire Properties Holdings I, LLC and by certain subsidiaries, and is secured by deeds of trust on the Plaza Las Fuentes, WestinÒ Pasadena Hotel, 755 South Figueroa and Pacific Arts Plaza West properties and pledges of the equity interests in substantially all property owning subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility.
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 may not make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of the greater of (1) 95% of funds from operations, as defined, and (2) $1.60 per share common share, during any four consecutive fiscal quarters, subject to certain other adjustments.
Our separate assets and liabilities of the property specific subsidiaries are neither available to pay the debts of the consolidated entity nor constitute obligations of the consolidated entity, respectively.
We currently have four office projects under development, all of which are being funded by construction loans: the Lantana Media Campus, 3161 – Michelson at Park Place, 17885 Von Karman Avenue, and the Mission City Corporate Center. The total amount of construction loans for these four projects is $394.5 million in which $194.6 million has been drawn, leaving approximately $200.0 million available for construction funding, as of June 30, 2007.
As described above, we replaced our existing $100.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Old Revolver”) with the Revolver in connection with the Blackstone Transaction. Our Park Place Construction loan, which is secured by our 3161 – Michelson development project, includes negative financial covenants that were contained in the Old Revolver. As of June 30, 2007, we are not in compliance with certain of these financial covenants under the Park Place Construction Loan. We have obtained waivers from the Park Place Construction lenders and are in negotiations to amend these negative financial covenants to reflect those in the Revolver, which we were in compliance with at June 30, 2007.

8. Derivative Instruments |
|
On March 7, 2007, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement with Citibank, N.A. to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk on anticipated fixed-rate financing for the Blackstone Transaction with a notional value of $1.48 billion at a swap rate of 5.045%, effective April 23, 2007 and terminating April 23, 2017. On April 24, 2007, this swap was assigned to each of the three lenders providing fixed-rate mortgage financing secured by assets acquired in the Blackstone Transaction in exchange for lower stated interest rates on the underlying debt.
On June 13, 2007, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge an anticipated five-year, interest-only variable rate mortgage loan in connection with the refinancing of KPMG Tower (see Note 12 – Subsequent Events). The notional amount of the swap is $425.0 million, effective in September 2007, terminating in August 2012 with a pay fixed rate of 5.564%.
On June 18, 2007, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge an anticipated ten-year, interest only mortgage loan starting in June 2009 in connection with the permanent refinancing of our construction loan on the 198,000 square foot Lantana South and Lantana East development projects in Santa Monica, CA. The notional amount of the swap is $88.0 million, effective in June 2009, terminating in June 2019 with a pay fixed rate of 5.883%.
Included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2007 was the fair value of the forward-starting interest rate swaps outstanding, which were approximately a negative $4.9 million and $21.2 million of deferred gain on the swaps assigned to lenders in connection with property level financing, net of minority interests of $2.2 million. The $21.1 million in deferred gain on assignment of swaps, along with corresponding offsetting debt discounts of $21.1 million which are recorded as reductions to the respective mortgage loans, will be amortized 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”).

10. Discontinued Operations |
|
At June 30, 2007, we classified Pacific Center as “assets associated with real estate held for sale” in our consolidated condensed balance sheet, as a result of executing an agreement to sell the property in April. As of June 30, 2007, we had sold nine office properties and three development sites as described below. Wateridge Plaza and Pacific Center were sold to GE Asset Management on May 2, 2007 and July 2, 2007, respectively. A gain of approximately $33.9 million is included in income from discontinued operations as a result of the sale of Wateridge Plaza. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 144 “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the results of operations for Wateridge Plaza and Pacific Center are reflected in the consolidated condensed statement of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The results of the remaining eight office properties and three development sites are also included in the consolidated condensed statement of operations as discontinued operations from April 24, 2007, the date these properties were acquired as part of the Blackstone Transaction. Five office properties and two development sites were sold to Bixby Land Company on May 25, 2007: Inwood Park and the Inwood Park development site, 1201 Dove Street, Fairchild Corporate Center, Redstone Plaza, Bixby Ranch and the Bixby Ranch development site. Three office properties and one development site were sold to Mullrock 4: Lincoln Town Center on June 28, 2007, and Tower 17, 1100 Executive Tower and the Executive Tower development site on June 29, 2007. No gain or loss on the sale of these properties is included in income from discontinued operations since the purchase price allocated to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction was equal to the sales value recorded upon sale.

We are taxed as a REIT under Internal Revenue Code sections 856(c). As a REIT, we are generally not subject to federal income taxes. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders every year, and meet certain other requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable

income at regular corporate income tax rates. We may also be subject to certain state or local income taxes, or franchise taxes.
We have elected to treat certain of our existing or newly created subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRS. A TRS may perform non-customary services for our tenants, hold assets that we can not hold directly, and generally engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. A TRS is subject to federal income taxes, and our TRS’s generate taxable income resulting in a federal tax liability. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a tax provision of approximately $400,000, which is included in other expenses in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. No tax provisions have been recorded in any of the previous periods presented.
12. Commitments and Contingencies – Ground Leases |
|
Two of the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction are subject to ground lease obligations: Two California Plaza and Brea Corporate Place. The ground lease for Two California Plaza expires in 2082, and the ground lease for Brea Corporate Place has an indefinite term. We also have an existing air space lease at Plaza Las Fuentes that expires in 2017, with options to renew for three additional ten-year periods and an option to purchase the land and air space. The leases require us to pay minimum fixed rental amounts, are subject to schedule rent adjustments, and include formulas for variable contingent rents. The ground lease for One California Plaza is subject to rent adjustments every ten years starting September 2013, through expiration. The leases for Brea Corporate Place are subject to rent adjustments on varying anniversary and reappraisal dates. The minimum commitment under these three leases as of June 30, 2007 was as follows (in thousands):

On July 2, 2007, we completed the sale of Pacific Center, a 438,960 square foot office property located in Mission Valley, California for approximately $200.0 million to GE Asset Management. The buyer assumed the existing $117.5 million mortgage with excess proceeds used to pay down the Term Loan (see below).
Subsequent to June, 30, 2007, excess proceeds of $51.1 million from the Mullrock Transaction (all of which is included in unrestricted cash as of June 30, 2007 in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet) and $120.0 million from the GE Transaction ($35.0 million of which is included in restricted cash as of June 30, 2007 in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet) were used to pay down the Term Loan to a balance of $110.5 million as of July 20, 2007.
In July 2007, we entered into an agreement with Ameriquest whereby they agreed to terminate leases for approximately 72,000 square feet at City Tower that was scheduled to expire in February, 2010, 105,000 square feet at City Plaza that was scheduled to expire in May, 2008 and 306,000 square feet at City Parkway of which 199,000 was scheduled to expire in May 2008 and 107,000 was scheduled to

On July 11, 2007 we entered into an agreement with EuroHypo to refinance the existing $210.0 million mortgage on KPMG Tower in Downtown Los Angeles with a new $450.0 million five-year variable rate mortgage.
Subsequent to June 30, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell Regents Square I & II, located in La Jolla, California.
| Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
| |
MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
| |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or that management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on tenants’ financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate); risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments; failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully; risks associated with joint ventures; risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to such activities); risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates and volatility in the securities markets; costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws; potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination; risks associated with our potential failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and possible adverse changes in tax and environmental laws; and risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in other sections of Amendment No. 1 of this report on Form 10-Q/A. In addition, we discussed a number of material risks in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
We are a full service real estate company, and we operate as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We are the largest owner and operator of Class A office properties in the Los Angeles Central Business District (“LACBD”) and are the second largest owner in Orange County. We are primarily focused on owning and operating high-quality office properties in the high-barrier-to-entry Southern California market.
Through Maguire Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), we own whole or partial interests in 40 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”). Our Total Portfolio includes 16 properties we acquired during the second quarter of 2007 (see “Note 2 - Acquisitions and Dispositions” in the notes to consolidated condensed financial statements for further details). 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 18.5 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 as of June 30, 2007:
| | Number of | | | Total Portfolio | | | Effective Portfolio | |
| | Properties | | | Buildings | | | Square Feet | | | Parking Square Footage | | | Parking Spaces | | | Square Feet | | | Parking Square Footage | | | Parking Spaces | |

Weighted Average Leased | | | | | | | | | | | 90.30 | % | | | | | | | | | | | 89.00 | % | | | | | | | | |
Our Total Portfolio is located in twelve submarkets in Los Angeles County, Orange County and San Diego County and Denver, Colorado. Our office properties are typically leased to high credit tenants for terms ranging from five to ten years. As of June 30, 2007, investment grade rated tenants generated 35.2% of the annualized rent of our Effective Portfolio, and nationally recognized professional service firms generated an additional 25.6% of the annualized rent of our Effective Portfolio. The weighted-average remaining lease term of our Effective Portfolio tenants was approximately 4.8 years as of June 30, 2007.
As of June 30, 2007, our Effective Portfolio was 89.0% leased to 1,080 tenants. Approximately 5.2% of our leased square footage expires during the remainder of 2007 and approximately 10.8% of our leased square footage expires during 2008. Our leasing strategy for the remainder of 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.
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 June 30, 2007 the Joint Venture owned the following six office properties:
Properties | | Location | | Rentable Square Feet | |
| | | | | |
One California Plaza | | Los Angeles, CA | | | 991,836 | |
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 | | | 1,211,147 | |
Total | | | | | 3,863,569 | |
We own a 20% ownership interest in the Joint Venture and are responsible for day-to-day operations of the properties. We receive fees for asset management, property management (after January 5, 2009), leasing, construction management, acquisitions, dispositions and financing. Additionally, we are entitled to outperformance distributions based on the results of the Joint Venture.
Our corporate strategy is to continue to own and develop high-quality office buildings concentrated in strong, supply-constrained markets. Our leasing strategy focuses on executing long-term leases with creditworthy tenants.
The success of our leasing and development strategy will be dependent upon the general economic conditions in the United States and Southern California, and more specifically in the Los Angeles metropolitan, Orange County and San Diego County areas. We are optimistic that market conditions will continue to improve during the balance of 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, which will be prevailing during that time. However, we cannot give any assurance that leases will be renewed or that available space will be re-leased at rental rates equal to or above the current contractual rental rates.
We are currently developing land parcels adjacent to certain of our properties that can support approximately 2.7 million net rentable square feet of office developments and structured parking. We also own undeveloped land adjacent to certain of our other properties primarily located in strong submarkets including Downtown Los Angeles, the Tri-Cities, Orange County and San Diego County that we believe can support approximately 11.5 million net rentable square feet of office, retail, structured parking and residential uses.
As of June 30, 2007, we had the following four projects under development:
· | The Lantana Media Campus in Santa Monica, a 198,000 square foot office campus with 223,000 square feet of structured parking; |
· | Park Place at 3161 Michelson Avenue, a 530,000 square foot office building in Irvine with 1,338,000 square feet of structured parking 56% pre-leased (19% pre-leased excluding New Century Financial — see below) as of June 30, 2007; |
· | 17885 Von Karman Avenue at the Washington Mutual Irvine Campus, a 150,000 square foot office building; and |
· | The Mission City Corporate Center in San Diego, a 92,000 square foot office building with 128,000 square feet of structured parking. |
Land held for development related to these four projects was $40.0 million as of June 30, 2007. The total estimated construction budget (excluding land) for these four projects is approximately $396.1 million, of which $234.8 million has been incurred as of June 30, 2007.
We expect the funding for these developments to be provided principally from construction loans and to a lesser extent other liquidity sources including cash on hand, our line of credit and sales of strategically identified assets.
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.
New Century Financial (“New Century”), who has a signed lease at our 3161 Michelson development project and is also a tenant at our Park Place project, filed for federal bankruptcy protection on April 2, 2007. New Century currently leases 267,000 square feet at Park Place for a total annual rental amount, including parking revenues, of approximately $7.5 million and has paid their rent through June 30, 2007. In addition, one New Century lease was acquired as part of the Blackstone Transaction. This lease was for approximately 2,800 square feet and was scheduled to expire in February 2008. This lease was rejected in bankruptcy proceedings in April, 2007. As required by the bankruptcy code, New Century has generally remained current in its lease obligations since the filing date. New Century also has a signed lease for approximately 190,000 square feet at our 3161 Michelson development project, with rent scheduled to commence September 1, 2007. Under the bankruptcy code New Century had 120 days from April 2, 2007 to decide whether to assume or reject its leases. While it has assumed or rejected many leases, Maguire Properties’ leases remain pending. New Century has recently requested that the bankruptcy court allow it an additional 90 days, until October 29, 2007, to decide whether to assume or reject its remaining leases. This request was granted and New Century will not be permitted additional extensions without lessor consent. We have been engaged in negotiations with New Century concerning the disposition of each of its leases. As New Century has been discontinuing operations and selling its assets, we anticipate that the leases will be rejected on negotiated terms, although it is possible that certain leases may be assumed by New Century and then assigned for value to a new lessee. In the event any or all of the New Century leases at our buildings are fully or partially rejected, we will actively begin marketing that space. As of June 30, 2007, unamortized lease costs attributable to the New Century leases amounted to $5.6 million.
During the remainder of 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.
On April 4, 2007, we completed a new $550.0 million, ten-year fixed rate, interest only refinancing with Lehman Ali, Inc and Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. for Wells Fargo Tower located at 333 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, California. The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.68% and matures on April 6, 2017. The mortgage loan is secured by a deed of trust and certain other loan documents.
On April 24, 2007, we purchased 24 properties and 11 development sites from Blackstone Real Estate Advisors for $2.875 billion (the “Blackstone Transaction”). The properties are located in Los Angeles and Orange County, California and total approximately 7.7 million rentable square feet and developable land estimated to support approximately 2.2 million square feet of improvements. The purchase price (before reserves and closing costs) was funded through new mortgage financings of $2.28 billion, a bridge mortgage financing of $223.0 million, and a $530.0 million corporate facility originated by CSFB, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch & Co. comprised of a $400.0 million term loan (fully drawn at closing) and a $130.0 million revolving credit facility (not yet drawn upon).
After we closed the Blackstone Transaction, we sold 8 of the 24 properties acquired and 3 of the 11 development sites which we determined to be non-core assets. Five office properties and two development sites were sold to Bixby Land Company for approximately $344.8 million including the following properties: Inwood Park and the Inwood Park development site, 1201 Dove Street, Fairchild Corporate Center, Redstone Plaza, Bixby Ranch and the Bixby Ranch development site (the “Bixby Transaction”). Three office properties and one development site were sold to Mullrock 4, LLC for approximately $310.0 million including the following properties: Lincoln Town Center, Tower 17.
We also sold two office properties located in San Diego, California that were not acquired in the Blackstone Transaction, Wateridge Plaza, which closed on May 2 and Pacific Center, which closed on July 3, 2007, to an entity controlled by GE Asset Management for approximately $298.2 million (the “GE Transaction”).
In connection with these asset sales, we have repaid the $223.0 million bridge loan, $79.3 million in mortgages primarily secured by Wateridge Plaza, the buyer assumed $274.0 million in mortgages secured by the Mullrock Transaction assets, and we made a $118.4 million pay down on our Term Loan, all as of June 30, 2007. Subsequent to quarter end, the buyer assumed the $117.5 million mortgage on Pacific Center and excess proceeds from both the Mullrock and GE Transactions were used to pay down the Term Loan by $170.1 million to a balance of $110.5 million.
Related Party Transactions |
|
We earned management fees, development fees and leasing commissions from entities controlled by Mr. Maguire in the amount of $1.0 million, $0.5 million, $1.2 million and $0.6 million for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These fees are included in Management, Leasing and Development Services to Affiliates in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. The related receivables due from entities controlled by Mr. Maguire as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. These receivables are included in Due from Affiliates in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and were current as of June 30, 2007.
We earned management fees, investment advisory fees, and leasing commissions from the Joint Venture in the amount of $3.9 million, $2.9 million, $1.9 million and $0.9 million for the six months and three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These fees are included in Management, Leasing and Development Services to Affiliates in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. The related receivables due from the Joint Venture of $2.8 million as of June 30, 2007 represent fees earned from the Joint Venture during the quarter, including leasing commissions, and to a lesser extent reimbursements for routine management expenses under our property management agreements with the Joint Venture. The related receivables due from the Joint Venture of $7.6 million as of December 31, 2006 primarily represent funds advanced to the contributed properties to satisfy our pre-closing obligations as they came due in accordance with the contribution agreements and to a lesser extent reimbursements for routine management expenses under our property management agreements with the Joint Venture.
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. Rental expense related to our direct lease with 1733 Ocean Avenue totaled approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
We recognize revenue on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, we evaluate whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. If we are the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If we are not the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes (i.e., the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduce revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space. The determination of the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. We consider a number of different factors in determining the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:
· | whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; |
| |
· | whether the tenant or landlord retain legal title to the improvements; |
| |
· | the uniqueness of the improvements; |
| |
· | the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and |
| |
· | who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements. |
The determination of who owns the tenant improvements for accounting purposes is subject to significant judgment. In making that determination we consider all of the above factors. However, no single factor is determinative in reaching a conclusion.
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due, pursuant to the underlying leases, is included in deferred rents, and contractually due but unpaid rents are included in rents and other receivables in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status, as well as certain industry or specific credit considerations. If estimates of collectibility differ from the cash received, then the timing and amount of our reported revenue could be impacted. Credit risk is mitigated by the high quality of the existing tenant base, reviews of prospective tenant’s risk profiles prior to lease execution and continual monitoring of our tenant portfolio to identify potential problem tenants.
Tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs are recognized in the period that the expenses are incurred. Parking income is recognized in the period the revenue is earned. Lease termination fees, which are included in other income in the accompanying
consolidated condensed statements of operations, are recognized when the related leases are canceled, the leased space has been vacated and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.
Hotel revenues are recognized when the services are rendered to the hotel guests. Property management fees are based on a percentage of the revenue earned by a property under management and are recorded on a monthly basis as earned. Lease commission revenue is recognized when legally earned under the provisions of the underlying lease commission agreement with the landlord. Revenue recognition generally occurs 50% upon lease signing, when the first half of the lease commission becomes legally payable with no right of refund, and 50% upon tenant move in, when the second half of the lease commission becomes legally payable with no right of refund. In circumstances where the landlord has a right of refund or no legal obligation to pay if the tenant does not move in, we defer revenue recognition until the tenant moves in or the landlord no longer legally has a right of refund. Development fees are recognized as the real estate development services are rendered using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.
We must make subjective estimates related to when our revenue is earned and the collectibility of our accounts receivable related to minimum rent, deferred rent, expense reimbursements, lease termination fees and other income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, tenant concentrations, tenant creditworthiness, and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income, and recognizing rental revenue as earned in one period versus another would result in higher or lower net income for a particular period.
Current Submarket Information |
|
LACBD, California. Leasing activity in the LACBD continued to improve during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 with a year to date positive absorption of 343,168 square feet. The strong tenant demand, primarily driven by technology, architectural, and law firms looking to renew and expand their leases in the LACBD, is expected to continue throughout 2007. Direct rental rates in the LACBD increased 12.2% and will continue to appreciate from both lower vacancy rates and imposed hikes by new property owners. Current vacancy rates have decreased to 14.3% from 15.2% one year ago, with vacancy rates expected to continue to decline. As of June 30, 2007, our LACBD portfolio was 87.3% leased, with approximately 1,061,000 square feet available for lease. Throughout the remainder of 2007, we will be focused on increasing occupancy, primarily at US Bank Tower, which is currently 85.3%, but expected to decrease significantly upon the renewal and re-location of Latham & Watkins to KPMG Tower in mid 2008, and One California Plaza (a Joint Venture property), which is currently 88.1% leased. The downtown area continues to be transformed into a true center of the region, with continued robust activity in the residential market, continued infrastructure investment, as well as the development of LA Live and the future Grand Avenue Project. The closing of the Blackstone Transaction, which added approximately 1.9 million square feet of office space to our portfolio, increases our concentration in this market.
Los Angeles County (excluding LACBD), California. In Los Angeles County, particularly the Tri-Cities (Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank) and the L.A. West submarkets, activity remains strong as evidenced by several large tenants in the market in the entertainment, healthcare, and insurance industries. Strong tenant demand continued throughout the quarter where vacancy rates remained in the single digits in second quarter 2007. Direct vacancy was 5.6% and 6.5% for the second quarter for the Tri-Cities and L.A. West submarkets, respectively. A strong tenant base and steady tenant activity will continue to create overall positive absorption and strong rental growth, particularly in the Glendale market due to tight markets in Pasadena and Burbank. As of June 30, 2007, our Los Angeles County (excluding LACBD) portfolio was 96.4% leased, with approximately 54,934 square feet available for lease.
Throughout 2007, we will be focused on increasing occupancy, primarily at 801 North Brand, which ended at 86.9% leased.
Orange County, California. The Orange County market is expected to experience significant movement throughout the year. Direct absorption during the quarter was approximately 553,861 square feet and average rental rates increased to $2.57 per square foot from $2.28 per square foot per month in the same period in 2006. Leasing activity is up, vacancy remains low, and rental rates are climbing. As of June 30, 2007, our Orange County portfolio was at 96.4% leased, with approximately 248,199 square feet available for lease. Despite the troubles in the sub-prime industry, which occupies approximately 4% of the Orange County market, the Orange County market overall remains one of the stronger office markets in the United States and recent trends tell us that the market will maintain stability throughout the year. The closing of the Blackstone Transaction, which added approximately 4.2 million square feet of office space in Orange County to our portfolio, increases our concentration in this market.
San Diego County, California. San Diego County experienced an overall positive absorption of 157,427 square feet during the second quarter, with a 12.2% vacancy rate and a weighted average asking lease rate for office space of $2.36. Construction activity in the submarket remains active with approximately 386,000 square feet of construction completed during the second quarter, while an additional 2.6 million square feet of new development is currently under construction. As of June 30, 2007, our San Diego County portfolio was 96.0% leased, with approximately 25,276 square feet available for lease. We will be completing construction on our 92,000 square foot building at Mission City during the fourth quarter of 2007 and are focused on leasing that building in 2007.
Results of Operations |
|
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006. |
|
Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 were significantly affected by our acquisitions and dispositions in both years. As a consequence, our results are not comparable from period to period. Therefore, in the table below, we have also separately presented the results of our “Same Properties Portfolio.”
Our Same Properties Portfolio excludes 701 North Brand, properties acquired as a result of the Blackstone Transaction, since they were acquired on September 22, 2006, and April 24, 2007, respectively, and also excludes Wateridge Plaza which was disposed of on May 2, 2007.

Rental revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased by $3.5 million or 5.5%, primarily due to significant lease terminations/expirations at Park Place I and Gas Company Tower which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Total portfolio rental revenue increased by $27.9 million, or 44.2%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Tenant reimbursements for our Same Properties Portfolio remained flat for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to June 30, 2006 as decreases in tenant reimbursements due to 2006 lease expirations were offset by overall increases in operating expenses.
Total portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue increased $7.8 million, or 38.6%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Parking revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio remained flat for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to June 30, 2006 due to lease terminations/expirations in 2006 on space that has not been
re-leased, which were offset by a portfolio wide increase in contractual parking rates in the third quarter of 2006.
Total portfolio parking revenue increased $1.8 million, or 17.5%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Management, Leasing and Development Services to Affiliates |
|
Total portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue to affiliates increased $1.9 million, or 132.8%, primarily due to leasing commissions earned on the Wells Fargo Bank lease renewal for Wells Fargo Center – Denver (a Joint Venture property).
Interest and Other Revenue |
|
Total portfolio interest and other revenue increased $0.9 million, or 35.2%, primarily due to the interest income earned on higher cash balances derived from property level financings, including $115.0 million in excess proceeds from the Wells Fargo Tower refinancing in April 2007.
Rental Property Operating and Maintenance Expense |
|
Rental property operating and maintenance expense for our Same Properties Portfolio increased $2.8 million or 14.0% primarily due to higher insurance premiums and a general increase in various property operating expenses across our portfolio.
Total portfolio rental property operating and maintenance expense increased $10.3 million, or 51.1%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Total portfolio real estate taxes increased $4.7 million, or 57.3%, primarily due to the properties purchased in the Blackstone Transaction.
Parking expenses for our Same Properties Portfolio increased $0.3 million, or 8.9%, primarily due to two new garages located at our Park Place property that became operational during the second quarter of 2007.
Total portfolio parking expenses increased $0.6 million, or 20.5%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
General and Administrative |
|
Total portfolio general and administrative expense increased $2.6 million, or 30.1%, primarily due to costs incurred pursuant to the consulting and separation agreements with Dallas E. Lucas, our previous Chief Financial Officer, additional corporate employees hired and corporate rent due to the growth in our infrastructure as a result of the Blackstone Transaction, increased compensation costs due to the addition of two new executives and the adoption of a new out-performance plan for our Chief Executive Officer both in the third quarter of 2006.
Total portfolio other expense increased $1.0 million, or 6,035.3%, primarily due to the increase in ground lease expense associated with the properties purchased in the Blackstone Transaction and the
current period tax provision that was recorded by our Taxable REIT Subsidiary, with no comparable activity in the prior period.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense |
|
Depreciation and amortization expense for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $1.9 million, or 5.9%, primarily due to lower in-place amortization as a result of lease expirations and lease terminations that occurred in 2006 in spaces that have not been re-leased.
Total portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $24.4 million, or 77.0%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Interest expense for our Same Properties Portfolio increased $3.7 million, or 11.6%, primarily due to a $10.0 million increase in interest expense related to 2006 refinancing of the 777 Tower, Gas Company Tower and Glendale Center mortgage loans and the April 2007 refinancing of Wells Fargo Tower, offset by a $6.0 million interest expense savings due to the pay-off of the CWP Acquisition Term Loan in 2006.
Total portfolio interest expense increased $31.7 million, or 100.2%, primarily due to the interest expense incurred on the loans secured by the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt |
|
Loss on early extinguishment of debt for our Same Properties Portfolio increased by $1.5 million, or 37.1%, primarily due to defeasance costs and write-offs of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the refinancing of the old Wells Fargo Tower loan and the replacement of our existing $100.0 million Revolving Credit Facility with a new $130.0 million facility in connection with the Blackstone Transaction, both which occurred in the second quarter of 2007, offset by the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the old Glendale Center loan recorded in the second quarter of 2006.
Total portfolio loss on early extinguishment of debt increased $4.2 million, or 103.0%, primarily due to the Same Store Properties as well as a $2.7 million write-off of unamortized Term Loan costs upon the $118.4 million repayment during the three months ended June 30, 2007 with excess proceeds from the Bixby Transaction.
Minority Interest Attributable to Continuing Operations |
|
Minority interest attributable to loss from continuing operations was $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a $37.9 million increase in loss from continuing operations.
Discontinued operations generated $20.7 million in income during the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a $2.2 million loss during the three months ended June 30, 2006. The 2007 results include a $33.9 million gain on sale due to the sale of Wateridge Plaza in May 2007 with no comparable activity in the prior period. The 2007 results also include a loss on extinguishment of debt of $8.9 million related to the write off of unamortized loan costs upon repayment of the $222.5 million bridge mortgage loan with the proceeds from the Bixby Transaction, the repayment and buyer’s assumption of $290.4 million in mortgage loans through the Mullrock Transaction and the repayment of the existing $62.9 million mortgage on Wateridge Plaza, with no comparable activity in the prior period.

Rental revenue for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased by $8.1 million, or 6.4%, primarily due to lower tenant occupancy and significant lease terminations/expirations at KPMG Tower, Gas Company Tower, and Park Place, whose spaces have not been re-leased.
Total portfolio rental revenue increased by $23.6 million, or 18.5%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Tenant reimbursements for our Same Properties Portfolio remained flat for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to June 30, 2006 as a result of decreases in tenant reimbursements due to 2006 lease terminations/expirations, which were offset by an overall increase in operating expenses.
Total portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue increased by $7.2 million, or 17.2%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Parking revenue for the Same Properties Portfolio remained flat for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to June 30, 2006 as decreases in parking revenues due to 2006 lease terminations/expirations were offset by a portfolio wide increase in contractual parking rates in July 2006.
Total portfolio parking revenue increased $1.9 million, or 9.2%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Management, Leasing and Development Services to Affiliates |
|
Total portfolio management, leasing, and development services revenue to affiliates increased $1.8 million, or 56.2%, primarily due to leasing commissions earned on the Wells Fargo Bank lease renewal for Wells Fargo Center – Denver (a Joint Venture property).
Interest and Other Revenue |
|
Total interest and other revenue increased by $1.8 million, or 54.4%, primarily due to interest income earned on higher cash balances derived from property level financings, including $115.0 million in excess proceeds from the Wells Fargo Tower refinancing in April 2007.
Rental Property Operating and Maintenance Expense |
|
Rental property operating and maintenance expense for the Same Properties Portfolio increased $5.9 million, or 14.6%, primarily due to higher insurance premiums and a general increase in various property operating expenses across our portfolio.
Total portfolio rental property operating and maintenance expense increased by $13.3 million, or 32.1% primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction and to a lesser extent the Same Properties Portfolio.
Real estate taxes for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $1.3 million, or 7.4%, primarily due to property tax consulting fees incurred during the first and second quarters of 2006 related to properties acquired through the CommonWealth Properties Acquisition in March 2005.
Total portfolio real estate taxes increased $3.8 million, or 22.1%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Total portfolio parking expenses increased $0.8 million, or 13.3%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
General and Administrative |
|
Total portfolio general and administrative expense increased $4.2 million, or 28.7%. Current year results include costs incurred pursuant to the consulting and separation agreements with Dallas E. Lucas, our previous Chief Financial Officer, increased expenses due to additional corporate employees hired and corporate rent as a result of our growth and increased compensation costs due to the addition of two new executives and the adoption of a new out-performance plan for our Chief Executive Officer both in the third quarter of 2006.
Other expense for our total portfolio increased $0.9 million, or 313.3%, primarily due the increase of ground lease expense associated with the properties purchased in the Blackstone Transaction and the current period tax provision that was recorded by our Taxable REIT Subsidiary, with no comparable activity in the prior period.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense |
|
Depreciation and Amortization expense for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $4.9 million, or 7.6%, primarily due to lower in-place amortization as a result of lease expirations and lease terminations that occurred in 2006 in spaces that have not been re-leased.
Total portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $21.2 million, or 32.6%, primarily due to the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction.
Interest expense for our Same Properties Portfolio increased by $3.1 million, or 5.0%, primarily due to an increase of $15.0 million in interest expense related to the refinancing of the 777 Tower, Gas Company Tower and Glendale Center mortgage loans in the latter half of 2006 and the Wells Fargo Tower mortgage in April 2007, partially offset by $12.0 million in interest expense savings due to the pay-off of the CWP Acquisition Term Loan in 2006.
Total portfolio interest expense increased by $31.1 million, or 48.9%, primarily due to the interest expense incurred on the loans secured by the properties acquired in the Blackstone Transaction and to a lesser extent the Same Store Properties.
Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt |
|
Loss from early extinguishment of debt for our Same Properties Portfolio increased by $0.9 million, or 18.6%, primarily due to defeasance costs and write-offs of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the refinancing of the Wells Fargo Tower loan and the replacement of our existing $100 million Revolving Credit Facility with a new $130.0 million facility in connection with the Blackstone Transaction, both of which occurred in second quarter of 2007, offset by the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the refinancing of Glendale Center loan, which occurred in the second quarter of 2006.
Total portfolio loss from early extinguishment of debt increased $3.6 million, or 75.5%, primarily due to the Same Store Properties as well as a $2.7 million write-off of unamortized Term Loan costs upon the
$118.4 million repayment during the six months ended June 30, 2007 with excess proceeds from the Bixby Transaction.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate |
|
Gain on sale of real estate was $108.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This was due to the gain recognized upon sale of an 80% interest in five previously wholly owned properties to the Joint Venture.
Minority Interest Attributable to Continuing Operations |
|
Minority interest attributable to loss from continuing operations was $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to minority interests attributable to income from continuing operations of $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to a $41.4 million increase in loss from continuing operations during 2007 compared to 2006, along with a $108.9 million gain on sale of real estate in the 2006 period with no comparable activity in the 2007 period.
Discontinued operations generated $19.2 million in income during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a $2.1 million loss during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The 2007 results include a $33.9 million gain on sale due to the sale of Wateridge Plaza in May 2007 with no comparable activity in the prior period. The 2007 results also include a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $8.9 million related to the repayment of the $222.5 million bridge mortgage loan with the proceeds from the Bixby Transactions, the buyer’s repayment and assumption of $290.4 million in mortgage loans through the Mullrock Transaction and the repayment of the existing $62.9 million mortgage on Wateridge Plaza, with no comparable activity in the prior period.
We calculate funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, extraordinary items, real estate related depreciation and amortization (including capitalized leasing expenses, tenant allowances or improvements and excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results of operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. FFO also should not
be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP).
The following table reconciles our FFO to our net (loss) income (in thousands except for per share amounts):

| (1) | Based on a weighted average interest in our operating partnership for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 of 86.4%, 86.4%, 86.2% and 85.8%, respectively. |
We are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we intend to make, but are not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to preferred stockholders, common stockholders and Unit holders from cash flow from operating activities. All such distributions are at the discretion of the board of directors. We may be required to use borrowings under the credit facility, if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our REIT status. We consider market factors and our performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels. Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders and Unit holders are invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities, which are consistent with our intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Since our IPO, we have paid quarterly dividends on our common stock and Units at a rate of $0.40 per common share and Unit, equivalent to an annual rate of $1.60 per common share and common Unit. Since January 23, 2004, we have paid quarterly dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock at a rate of $0.4766 per share of preferred stock.
As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately $5.35 billion of outstanding consolidated debt (including discontinued operations), which is net of related discounts of $21.1 million. This indebtedness was comprised of mortgages secured by 32 properties, four construction loans and the Term Loan attributable to continuing operations. The weighted average interest rate on this indebtedness as of June 30, 2007 was 5.77% (based on the 30-day LIBOR rate at June 30, 2007 of 5.32%). As of June 30, 2007, our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately 71.6% of our consolidated total market capitalization of $7.5 billion (based on a common stock price of $34.33 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on June 30, 2007). Our ratio of debt and preferred stock to total market capitalization was approximately 74.9%. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $883.0 million, or 16.5%, of our total
consolidated debt was variable-rate debt. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $4,467.5 million, or 83.5%, of our total consolidated debt was subject to fixed interest rates. Total market capitalization as of June 30, 2007 includes the book value of our consolidated debt, the liquidation preference of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and the market value of 47,211,200 shares of our common stock and 7,405,916 Units.
The table below summarizes our total debt, including discontinued operations at June 30, 2007 (in thousands):
| | Debt Summary | | | Percent of Total Debt | | | Effective Interest Rate at End of Quarter | | | Debt to Maturity (in years) | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fixed rate | | $ | 4,467,502 | | | | 83.5 | % | | | 5.47 | % | | | 7.5 | |
Variable rate | | | 882,968 | | | | 16.5 | % | | | 7.26 | % | | | 2.4 | |
Total / Effective interest rate | | $ | 5,350,470 | | | | 100.0 | % | | | 5.77 | % | | | 6.8 | |
The variable-rate debt shown above bears interest at an interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR. The debt secured by our properties at June 30, 2007 had a weighted average term to initial maturity of approximately 6.5 years (approximately 6.5 years assuming exercise of extension options).
Our revolving credit facility with a capacity of $130.0 million at June 30, 2007, is guaranteed by Maguire Properties Holdings I, LLC and by certain subsidiaries, and is secured by deeds of trust on the Plaza Las Fuentes, Westin® Pasadena Hotel, 755 South Figueroa and Pacific Arts Plaza West properties and pledges of the equity interests in substantially all property owning subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility.
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 may not make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests in an aggregate amount in excess of the greater of (1) 95% of funds from operations, as defined, and (2) $1.60 per share common share, during any four consecutive fiscal quarters, subject to certain other adjustments.
As described above, we replaced our existing $100.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Old Revolver”) with the Revolver in connection with the Blackstone Transaction. Our Park Place Construction loan, which is secured by our 3161 – Michelson development project, includes negative financial covenants that were contained in the Old Revolver. As of June 30, 2007, we are not in compliance with certain of these financial covenants under the Park Place Construction Loan. We have obtained waivers from the Park Place Construction lenders and are in negotiations to amend these negative financial covenants to reflect those in the Revolver, which we were in compliance with at June 30, 2007.

________
(1) | The June 30, 2007 one-month LIBOR rate of 5.32% was used to calculate the variable interest rates. |
(2) | Assuming no payment has been made in advance of its due date. |
(3) | At the closing of the Blackstone Transaction, $400.0 million was funded on the Term Loan. Excess proceeds from the Bixby Transaction were used to pay down the Term Loan to a balance of $281.6 million as of June 30, 2007. Subsequent to quarter end, excess proceeds from |

Liquidity and Capital Resources |
|
Cash Balances, Available Borrowings and Capital Resources |
|
As of June 30, 2007, we had $207.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $101.1 million as of December 31, 2006. In addition, we had restricted cash balances of $251.4 million and $99.2 million, as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Restricted cash primarily consists of interest bearing cash deposits required by some of our mortgage loans to fund anticipated expenditures for real estate taxes, insurance, debt service and leasing costs. Our $100.0 million revolving credit facility was terminated during the quarter and replaced with a new $130.0 million revolving credit facility. As of both August 9, 2007 and June 30, 2007, we had no borrowings outstanding on our revolving credit facility.
In connection with the closing of the Blackstone Transaction on April 24, 2007, the purchase price of approximately $2.875 billion, before reserves and closing costs, was funded entirely through debt including $2.28 billion of new mortgage loans, a $223.0 million bridge mortgage loan, and a $530.0 million corporate credit facility, comprised of a $400.0 million term loan, which was fully drawn at closing, and a $130.0 million revolving credit facility, that has not yet been drawn upon. We funded our $175.0 million cash requirement to close the Blackstone Transaction with excess proceeds from the Wells Fargo Tower refinancing. This acquisition caused a significant increase in our ratio of debt to total market capitalization, which increased to 71.6% as of June 30, 2007 and is anticipated to cause an initial deterioration in our interest and fixed charge coverage ratios.
Concurrent with our decision to complete the Blackstone Transaction, we announced a program to sell up to $2.0 billion in non-strategic assets comprised of both existing assets as well as assets acquired through the Blackstone Transaction with the intent to use net proceeds to reduce leverage. In connection with this program, as of June 30, 2007 we have sold eight properties and three development sites acquired through the Blackstone Transaction previously described as the Bixby and Mullrock Transactions. Excess proceeds from the Bixby Transaction (after repayment of the $223.0 million bridge loan) of $118.3 million were used to pay down the Term Loan to a balance of $281.6 million as of June 30, 2007. Excess proceeds from the Mullrock transaction (after repayment and assumption of $290.4 million of existing mortgages) of approximately $51.1 million are included in unrestricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. On July 3, 2007 we used these proceeds to pay down the Term Loan to a balance of $230.5 million.
In connection with our disposition program, we also entered into the GE Transaction, comprised of sales of our existing Wateridge Plaza and Pacific Center projects in San Diego, California. The Wateridge Plaza sale closed on May 2, 2007 resulting in the repayment of the existing $62.9 million
Wateridge Plaza mortgage and the receipt of approximately $35.0 in excess proceeds, which is included in restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. The Pacific Center sale closed on July 2, 2007 resulting in the assumption of the existing $117.5 million mortgage and the receipt of approximately $85.0 million in excess proceeds. Subsequent to quarter end, we used the excess proceeds from the GE Transaction to pay down the Term Loan by $120.0 million on July 20, 2007 to a balance of $110.5 million.
Upon completion of the Pacific Center sale on July 2, 2007, we have sold approximately $950.0 million in assets since announcing our disposition program. Subsequent to quarter end, we entered into a contract to sell Regents Square in San Diego, California bringing us to approximately 60% of our original $2.0 billion disposition goal. This sale is expected to close in the 3rd quarter of 2007, which we expect will generate sufficient excess proceeds to completely repay the remaining $110.5 million Term Loan balance.
As described above, the Blackstone Transaction was purchased entirely with debt. At the time of closing, the monthly debt service requirements of the acquisition debt exceeded the monthly projected cash estimated to be provided from the operations of the Blackstone portfolio until stabilization through lease up, which will impact our ability to fund our dividend payments from operations for at least the next four quarters. To assist in funding this shortfall, restricted cash reserves were established to cover future payments for interest, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, which were funded with mortgage loan proceeds at closing. As of June 30, 2007, we had a total of $77.0 million in tenant improvement and leasing reserves and $38.0 million in debt service reserves, which are included in restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2007, and are expected to cover the first eighteen months of our ownership. In addition, as of June 30, 2007, we had available cash of $207.9 million ($51.1 million of this cash was used to pay down the Term Loan on July 3, 2007), and our new $130.0 million revolving credit facility has not yet been drawn on.
In connection with property acquisitions and refinancing of existing assets, we typically reserve a portion of the loan proceeds at closing in restricted cash accounts (as described above for the Blackstone Transaction) to fund anticipated expenditures for leasing commissions and tenant improvements for both existing and prospective tenants, as well as non-recurring discretionary capital expenditures, such as a major lobby renovation, which we believe will result in enhanced revenues. We believe this strategy of funding significant upfront investments in leasing costs with loan proceeds better matches the predictable long-term income streams generated by our leases with our monthly debt service requirements.
As of June 30, 2007, of the total cash reserves included in restricted cash of $251.4 million in the accompanying balance sheet, $119.0 are attributable to reserves for leasing commissions and tenant improvements ($77.0 million of these reserves were established at closing of the Blackstone Transaction), including $46.0 million in reserves related to six of our seven wholly owned office towers in the LACBD. We are in the process of refinancing the seventh building, the KPMG Tower, which currently has no reserves, with a new $450 million mortgage with a 5 year term. This refinancing will generate approximately $240.0 million in excess proceeds (before closing costs and reserves) after the repayment of the existing $210.0 million mortgage which will be available for general corporate purposes. We expect to establish adequate leasing reserves from excess proceeds of this refinancing to satisfy our leasing obligations associated with the 300,000 square foot Latham & Watkins renewal and relocation to KPMG tower from USBT and to establish additional reserves (to supplement $8.0 million in existing reserves at US Bank Tower) to re-tenant US Bank Tower after the Latham & Watkins vacancy in mid 2008. As of June 30, 2007, excluding KPMG Tower, our only other project with significant leasing requirements that has minimal leasing reserves is Park Place (83% leased at June 30, 2007 which includes 267,000 square feet currently leased to New Century – see the discussion in Item 2 - Overview). Therefore, we are not as reliant upon cash flows from operations during the next twelve months to fund capital expenditures associated with renewing expiring leases or executing new leases on vacant space.
We may choose to fund prospective re-leasing costs at Park Place through new leasing reserves established from future property level re-financings or cash on hand.
We anticipate that these restricted reserves, as well as our existing sources of liquidity, including existing cash on hand, cash flows from operations and restricted cash accounts, and planned sales of strategically identified assets, will be sufficient to fund these capital expenditures.
We currently have four office projects under development, all of which are being funded by construction loans: the Lantana Media Campus, 3161 – Michelson at Park Place, 17885 Von Karman Avenue, and the Mission City Corporate Center. The total amount of construction loans for these four projects is $394.5 million in which $194.6 million has been drawn, leaving approximately $200 million available for construction funding, as of June 30, 2007. We believe that the undrawn construction loans available as of June 30, 2007 will be sufficient to cover the remaining development costs.
We expect to finance our operations, dividends, non-acquisition-related capital expenditures and long-term indebtedness repayment obligations primarily with internally generated cash flow, existing cash on hand, borrowings under our new $130.0 million revolving credit facility, and proceeds from refinancing and planned sales of strategically identified assets. 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.
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, existing cash on hand, refinancing of existing indebtedness, construction financing, proceeds from refinancing and sales of strategically identified assets. We have a shelf registration statement on file with the SEC dated September 3, 2004 in order to facilitate the issuance of equity securities.
As of June 30, 2007, our total indebtedness attributable to continuing operations is approximately $5.2 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 5.77% and a weighted average remaining term of 6.7 years. Including our share of the Joint Venture debt, our ratio of debt to total market capitalization is approximately 72.2%. Our objective is to achieve and maintain a debt to total market capitalization level of less than 60% and a fixed charge coverage ratio at or above 2.0. Our primary strategy to achieve these objectives will be to utilize a combination of various liquidity sources available to us including the following:
· | net proceeds from sales of non-strategic or non-income producing assets; |
· | net proceeds from future joint ventures; |
· | raising institutional equity capital; |
· | re-leasing the Blackstone Portfolio at market rents; and |
· | completing the construction and leasing of the projects under development. |
The following table provides information with respect to our contractual obligations at June 30, 2007, (excluding Pacific Center, which was sold on July 2, 2007) including the maturities and scheduled principal repayments of our secured debt and provides information about the minimum commitments due
in connection with our ground lease, operating lease, capital lease and master lease obligations. The table does not reflect available debt extension options.

(2) | As of June 30, 2007, 81.3% of our debt was contractually fixed. The information in the table above reflects our projected interest rate obligations for the fixed-rate payments based on the contractual interest rates and scheduled maturity dates. The remaining 18.7% of our debt consists of 16.5% of variable debt that bears interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 1.75% to 2.25% and 2.2% of debt related to our discontinued operations. The interest payments on the variable rate debt have not been reported in the table above because we cannot reasonably determine the future interest obligations on our variable rate debt as we cannot predict what LIBOR rates will be in the future. As of June 30, 2007, the one-month LIBOR was 5.32%. |

Comparison of Cash Flows for Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 |
|
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $34.0 million, a decrease of $6.4 million compared to 2006. Our net loss of $27.5 million for the first half of 2007, compared to net income of $79.8 million in 2006, negatively impacted our cash from operating activities. The impact of our net loss was offset by higher depreciation and amortization charges, and increased accounts payable and other accruals as a result of our increased property portfolio from the Blackstone Transaction, which closed during the second quarter of 2007. Our cash from operating activities benefited from a loss from early extinguishment of debt and lower gain on sales of
real estate in 2007 compared to 2006. Cash from operating activities was reduced in 2007 by higher deferred leasing costs, and rent and other receivables as a result of an increase in the number of properties held after the Blackstone Transaction.
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.7 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to net cash provided of $2.0 million in 2006. The Blackstone Transaction, valued at $2.875 billion, was the primary use of cash during the period. Net proceeds of $476.2 million from the sale of office properties and developments sites, eleven of which were acquired as part of the Blackstone Transaction, partially offset the impact of the Blackstone Transaction on cash flows used for investing activities during 2007. During the same period in 2006, we sold an 80% interest in five office properties to the Joint Venture, which generated net proceeds of $343.5 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.8 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to net cash used of $38.5 million in 2006. Financings during the second quarter of 2007 related to the Blackstone Transaction, including fixed and floating rate mortgage loans totaling $2.28 billion, a bridge loan of $223.0 million, and a $400.0 million term loan, as well as net proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgage loan related to the Wells Fargo Tower in Los Angeles, California, drove the increase in financing cash during the period. These increases were partially offset by principal repayments on mortgage loans, complete repayment of the bridge loan, and partial pay down of the term loan with proceeds received from the sale of eleven properties acquired as part of the Blackstone Transaction.
Substantially all of our office leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above. Our hotel property is able to change room rates on a daily basis, so the impact of higher inflation can often be passed on to customers. However, a weak economic environment may restrict our ability to raise room rates to offset rising costs.
| Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
| |
Our future income, cash flows and fair values of financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.
On June 13, 2007, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge an anticipated five-year, interest-only variable rate mortgage loan in connection with the refinancing of KPMG Tower (see Note 12 – Subsequent Events). The notional amount of the swap is $425.0 million, effective in September 2007, terminating in August 2012 with a pay fixed rate of 5.564%.
On June 18, 2007, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge an anticipated ten-year, interest only mortgage loan starting in June 2009 in connection with the permanent refinancing of our construction loan on the 198,000 square foot Lantana South and Lantana East development projects in Santa Monica, CA. The notional amount of the swap is $88.0 million, effective in June 2009, terminating in June 2019 with a pay fixed rate of 5.883%.
As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately $5,233.0 million in consolidated debt from continuing operations of which approximately $883.0 million, or 16.9%, was variable-rate debt, excluding the debt associated with discontinued operations of $117.5 million.
At June 30, 2007, the fair value of our fixed-rate debt is estimated to be $4,312.9 million, compared to its carrying value of $4,350.0 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 approximately 10%, or 50 basis points, the increase in interest expense on our $883.0 million in consolidated variable-rate debt would decrease future annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $4.4 million. A 50 basis points increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our $5,233.0 million principal amount of consolidated fixed-rate debt from continuing operations by $71.4 million and the fair value of our forward-starting interest rate cap agreements would increase by $13.4 million. If interest rates were to decrease by approximately 10%, or 50 basis points, the decrease in interest expense on our $883.0 million in consolidated variable-rate debt would increase our future annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $4.4 million and would increase the fair value of our consolidated $5,233.0 million principal amount of fixed-rate debt from continuing operations by approximately $66.0 million and the fair value of our forward-starting interest rate cap agreements would decrease by $ 6.6 million.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
| |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting. We may make changes in its internal control processes from time to time in the future.
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION |
| |
| Legal Proceedings. |
| |
In the ordinary course of our business, we are frequently subject to tort claims and other claims and administrative proceedings, none of which we currently believe would have a material adverse effect on us.
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 June 30, 2007, our total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $5.2 billion (excluding debt included in discontinued operations for Pacific Center, which was sold on July 2, 2007). At June 30, 2007, we also had a $130.0 million secured revolving credit facility with CS, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch & Co, which currently bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%, or the base rate, as defined in the agreement, plus 100 basis points, and matures on April 24, 2011. 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 and Pacific Arts Plaza properties and pledges of the equity interest in substantially all property owning subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2007, we had no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility. The terms of our secured revolving credit facility include certain restrictions and covenants, which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition of assets. The terms also require compliance with financial ratios relating to interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and maximum leverage, the maximum amount of unsecured indebtedness and certain investment limitations. 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 in excess of the greater of (1) 95% of our “funds from operations” (as defined in our revolving credit facility) and (2) $1.60 per share 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.
A recently completed acquisition of office and development real property subjects us to various risks which could adversely affect our operating results.
On April 24, 2007, we purchased 24 properties and 11 developments sites from Blackstone Real Estate Advisors for $2.875 billion (the “Blackstone Transaction”). 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. The properties are located in Los Angeles and Orange County, California and total approximately 7.7 million rentable square feet and developable land estimated to support approximately 2.2 million square feet of improvements.
Risks associated with the acquisition of the Properties include:
· | the Properties may fail to perform as expected; |
| |
· | while we intend to seek a joint venture partner, 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.
Certain risk factors are identified in our annual report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2006.
