VORNADO REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. | Organization |
Vornado Realty Trust is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). All references to “our,” “we,” “us,” the “Company” and “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 89.7% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2006.
Substantially all of Vornado Realty Trust’s assets are held through subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, Vornado Realty Trust’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors.
2. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado and its majority-owned subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, as well as certain partially-owned entities in which we own more than 50% unless a partner has shared board and management representation and substantive participation rights on all significant business decisions, or 50% or less when (i) we are the primary beneficiary and the entity qualifies as a variable interest entity under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (Revised) – Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”), or (ii) when we are a general partner that meets the criteria under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-05. All significant inter-company amounts have been eliminated. Equity interests in partially-owned entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when they do not meet the criteria for consolidation and our ownership interest is greater than 20%. When partially-owned investments are in partnership form, the 20% threshold for equity method accounting is generally reduced to 3% to 5%, based on our ability to influence the operating and financial policies of the partnership. Investments accounted for under the equity method are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of the net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions to or from these entities. Investments in partially-owned entities that do not meet the criteria for consolidation or for equity method accounting are accounted for on the cost method.
We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain prior year balances related to discontinued operations have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.
3. | Recently Issued Accounting Literature |
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123 and requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. We adopted SFAS No. 123R on the modified prospective method on January 1, 2006. This adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3 (“SFAS NO. 154”). SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of the change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation or amortization for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006. This adoption had no effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – An Amendment of SFAS No. 133 and No. 140 (“SFAS No. 155”). The purpose of SFAS No. 155 is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 also eliminates the restriction on passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an Amendment of SFAS No. 140 (“SFAS No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires separate recognition of a servicing asset and a servicing liability each time an entity undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. This statement also requires that servicing assets and liabilities be initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to the fair value at the end of each reporting period. This statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance on description, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of SFAS No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to (i) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (ii) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions); and (iii) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive income of a business entity. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, for entities with publicly traded equity securities, and at the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007, for all other entities. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We believe the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), which becomes effective beginning on January 1, 2007. SAB 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior period misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 provides for the quantification of the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements. If a misstatement is material to the current year financial statements, the prior year financial statements should also be corrected, even though such revision was, and continues to be, immaterial to the prior year financial statements. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. Such correction should be made in the current period filings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108.

4. | Acquisitions and Dispositions |
| Acquisitions: |
San Francisco Bay Area Properties
On January 10, 2006, we acquired four properties consisting of 189,000 square feet of retail and office space in the San Francisco Bay area for approximately $72,000,000 in cash, including closing costs. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our financial position and results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Springfield Mall |
On January 31, 2006, we closed on an option to purchase the 1.4 million square foot Springfield Mall which is located on 79 acres at the intersection of Interstate 95 and Franconia Road in Springfield, Fairfax County, Virginia, and is anchored by Macy’s, and J.C. Penney and Target, who own their stores aggregating 389,000 square feet. The purchase price for the option was $35,600,000, of which we paid $14,000,000 in cash at closing and the remainder of $21,600,000 will be paid in installments over four years. We intend to redevelop, reposition and re-tenant the mall and have committed to spend $25,000,000 in capital expenditures over a six-year period from the closing of the option agreement. The option becomes exercisable upon the passing of one of the existing principals of the selling entity and may be deferred at our election through November 2012. Upon exercise of the option, we will pay $80,000,000 to acquire the mall, subject to the existing mortgage of $180,000,000, which will be amortized to $149,000,000 at maturity in 2013. Upon closing of the option on January 31, 2006, we acquired effective control of the mall, including management of the mall and right to the mall’s net cash flow. Accordingly, we consolidate the accounts of the mall into our financial position and results of operations pursuant to the provisions of FIN 46R. We have a 2.5% minority partner in this transaction.
BNA Complex
On February 17, 2006, we entered into an agreement to sell our 277,000 square foot Crystal Mall Two office building, located in Arlington, Virginia, to The Bureau of National Affairs, Inc. (“BNA”) for use as its corporate headquarters, subject to the buildout of the building to agreed-upon specifications. Simultaneously, we agreed to acquire a three building complex from BNA containing approximately 300,000 square feet, which is located in Washington D.C.’s West End between Georgetown and the Central Business District. We will receive sales proceeds of approximately $100,000,000 for Crystal Mall Two and recognize a net gain on sale of approximately $23,000,000. We will pay BNA $111,000,000 for the three building complex. One of the buildings, containing 130,000 square feet, will remain an office building, while the other two buildings will be redeveloped into residential condominiums. These transactions are expected to close in the second half of 2007.
San Jose, California Ground-up Development
On March 29, 2006, a joint venture, in which we have a 45% equity interest and are a co-managing partner, acquired 55 acres of land in San Jose, California for approximately $59,600,000, including closing costs. The purchase price was funded with $20,643,000 of cash contributed by the partners, of which our share was $9,289,000, and $38,957,000 drawn on a $117,000,000 acquisition/construction loan. The remainder of the loan will be used to fund the development of a 635,000 square foot retail center on the site. As of September 30, 2006, $47,708,000 was outstanding under the loan, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% (7.13% at September 30, 2006) and matures in March 2009 with a one-year extension option. Upon completion of the development we have an option to acquire our partner’s 55% equity interest at a 7% unlevered yield. We account for this investment on the equity method.

1925 K Street
On April 13, 2006, we acquired the 92.65% interest that we did not already own of 1925 K Street, a 150,000 square foot office building located in the Central Business District of Washington, DC. The purchase price for the 92.65% interest was $52,800,000, consisting of $34,600,000 in cash and $18,200,000 of existing mortgage debt. Mitchell N. Schear, President of our Washington, DC Office division, received $3,675,000 for his share of the proceeds as a partner of the selling entity. We plan to redevelop this property into a 226,000 square foot Class A office building at a cost of approximately $80,000,000. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our financial position and results of operations from the date of acquisition.
1540 Broadway
On July 11, 2006, we acquired the retail, signage and parking components of 1540 Broadway located in Manhattan’s Times Square between 45th and 46th Street. The purchase price was approximately $260,000,000 in cash. The property contains 152,000 square feet of retail space which is 60% occupied. The principal tenants are Virgin Records and Planet Hollywood. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our financial position and results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Refrigerated Warehouses
On August 31, 2006, a subsidiary of Americold Realty Trust (“Americold”) entered into a definitive agreement to acquire from ConAgra Foods, Inc. (“ConAgra Foods”) four refrigerated warehouse facilities and the lease on a fifth facility, with an option to purchase. These five warehouses contain a total of 1.7 million square feet and 48.9 million cubic feet. The aggregate purchase price, including closing costs, is approximately $190,000,000, consisting of $152,000,000 in cash to ConAgra Foods and $38,000,000 representing the recording of a capital lease obligation for the fifth facility. On October 10, 2006, a subsidiary of Americold assumed the leasehold on the fifth facility and the related capital lease obligation. Americold expects to complete the balance of this acquisition in the first quarter of 2007.
Toys “R” Us Stores
On September 14, 2006, we entered into an agreement to purchase up to 44 previously closed Toys “R” Us stores for up to $190,000,000. On October 16, 2006, we completed the first phase of the agreement by acquiring 37 stores for $171,000,000 in cash. These properties, of which 18 are owned in fee, 8 are ground leased and 11 are space leased, aggregate 1.5 million square feet and are primarily located in seven east coast states, Texas and California. Of these properties, 25 are leased or subleased to other retailers and 12 are currently vacant. All of these stores were part of the store closing program announced by Toys “R” Us in January 2006.
We expect to purchase six of the remaining stores by the end of the first quarter of 2007, subject to landlords’ consent, where applicable, and customary closing conditions. The seventh store we agreed to purchase was sold by Toys “R” Us to a third party.
Our 32.9% share of Toys “R” Us (“Toys”) net gain on this transaction will be recorded as an adjustment to the basis of our investment in Toys and will not be recorded as income.
Filene’s, Boston, Massachusetts
On October 13, 2006, we entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Gale International, LLC to acquire and redevelop the Filene’s property located in the Downtown Crossing district of Boston, Massachusetts which we had agreed to purchase from Federated Department Stores, Inc. The purchase price is approximately $100,000,000 in cash. Current plans for the development include over 1,200,000 square feet, consisting of office, retail, condominium apartments and a hotel. The project is subject to governmental approvals. The purchase is expected to close in the first quarter of 2007, subject to customary closing conditions.

In addition to the acquisitions described above, during 2006 we completed $288,739,000 of other real estate acquisitions and investments in 12 separate transactions, comprised of $274,239,000 in cash and $14,500,000 of existing mortgage debt.
Dispositions:

On March 13, 2006, we sold 424 Sixth Avenue, a 10,000 square foot retail property located in New York City, for $22,000,000, which resulted in a net gain of $9,218,000.
33 North Dearborn Street
On March 14, 2006, we sold 33 North Dearborn Street, a 336,000 square foot office building located in Chicago, Illinois, for $46,000,000, which resulted in a net gain of $4,835,000. All of the proceeds from the sale were used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the San Francisco Bay area properties (see Acquisitions above) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
1919 South Eads Street
On June 22, 2006, we sold 1919 South Eads Street, a 96,000 square foot office building located in Arlington, Virginia, for $38,400,000, which resulted in a net gain of $17,609,000.

5. | Derivative Instruments and Marketable Securities |
Investment in McDonald’s Corporation (“McDonalds”) (NYSE: MCD)
In July 2005, we acquired an aggregate of 858,000 common shares of McDonalds for $25,346,000, an average price of $29.54 per share. These shares are recorded as marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheets and are classified as “available for sale.” Appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of these shares is recorded as an increase or decrease in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the shareholders’ equity section of our consolidated balance sheet and not recognized in income. At September 30, 2006, based on McDonalds’ closing stock price of $39.12 per share, $4,736,000 of appreciation in the value of these shares was included in “accumulated other comprehensive income.”
During the second half of 2005, we acquired an economic interest in an additional 14,565,500 McDonalds common shares through a series of privately negotiated transactions with a financial institution pursuant to which we purchased a call option and simultaneously sold a put option at the same strike price on McDonalds’ common shares. These call and put options had an initial weighted-average strike price of $32.66 per share, or an aggregate of $475,692,000, expire on various dates between July 30, 2007 and September 10, 2007 and provide for net cash settlement. Under these agreements, the strike price for each pair of options increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points (up to 95 basis points under certain circumstances) and is credited for the dividends received on the shares. The options provide us with the same economic gain or loss as if we had purchased the underlying common shares and borrowed the aggregate purchase price at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points. Because these options are derivatives and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the options at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statements of income.
In the three months ended March 31, 2006, we sold 2,119,500 of the option shares in the derivative position at a weighted average sales price of $35.49. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, we acquired an additional 1,250,000 option shares at a weighted average purchase price of $33.08. As of September 30, 2006, there are 13,696,000 option shares in the derivative position with an adjusted weighted average strike price of $32.70 per share or an aggregate of $447,822,000. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized net gains of $68,796,000 and $60,581,000, respectively, representing the mark-to-market of the shares in the derivative to $39.12 per share, net of the expense resulting from the LIBOR charges.
Our aggregate net gain recognized from inception of this investment through September 30, 2006 is $77,635,000.

5. | Derivative Instruments and Marketable Securities |
Investment in Sears, Roebuck and Co. (“Sears”)
In August and September 2004, we acquired an economic interest in 7,916,900 Sears common shares through a series of privately negotiated transactions with a financial institution pursuant to which we purchased a call option and simultaneously sold a put option at the same strike price on Sears common shares. These call and put options had an initial weighted-average strike price of $39.82 per share, or an aggregate of $315,250,000, expire in April 2006 and provide for net cash settlement. Under these agreements, the strike price for each pair of options increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points and is credited for the dividends received on the shares. The options provide us with the same economic gain or loss as if we had purchased the underlying common shares and borrowed the aggregate strike price at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points. Because these options are derivatives and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the options at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statement of income.
On March 30, 2005, as a result of the merger between Sears and Kmart and pursuant to the terms of the contract, our derivative position representing 7,916,900 Sears common shares became a derivative position representing 2,491,819 common shares of Sears Holdings, Inc. (“Sears Holdings”) (NYSE: SHLD) valued at $323,936,000 based on the then closing share price of $130.00 and $146,663,000 of cash. As a result, we recognized a net gain of $58,443,000 based on the fair value of the derivative position on March 30, 2005. In 2005 we sold 402,660 of the option shares at a weighted average sales price of $124.44 per share. In the first quarter of 2006, we settled the entire derivative position by selling the remaining 2,089,159 option shares at a weighted average sales price of $125.43, which resulted in a net gain of $18,611,000, comprised of $20,673,000 from the remaining option shares sold, partially offset by, $2,062,000 of expense resulting from the increase in strike price for the LIBOR charge.
Our aggregate net gain realized from inception of this investment through settlement was $142,877,000.
Sears Canada, Inc. (“Sears Canada”)
On April 3, 2006, we tendered the 7,500,000 Sears Canada shares we owned to Sears Holdings at the increased tender price of Cdn. $18.00 per share (the equivalent at that time of US $15.68 per share), which resulted in a net gain of $55,438,000, representing the difference between the tender price, and our carrying amount of $8.29 per share. The net gain is reflected as a component of “net gain on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate” on our consolidated statement of income. Together with income recognized in the fourth quarter of 2005 that resulted from a Sears Canada special dividend, the aggregate net gain from inception on our $143,737,000 investment was $78,323,000. If at any time on or before December 31, 2008 Sears Canada or any of its affiliates pays more than Cdn. $18.00 per share to acquire Sears Canada common shares from third parties, we will be entitled to receive the difference as additional consideration for the shares we sold.

Notes to preceding tabular information:
(Amounts in thousands)
| (1) | We account for our investment in H Street partially owned entities on the equity method on a one-quarter lag basis. Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, two 50% owned entities that are contesting our acquisition of H Street impeded access to their financial information and accordingly, we were unable to record our pro rata share of their earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, based on the financial information provided to us, we recognized equity in net income of $4,065 and $8,376, respectively, from these entities, of which $1,083 and $3,890, respectively, represents our 50% share of their earnings for the period from July 20, 2005 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2005. |
| (2) | In connection with our preferred equity investment to this venture, we provided the venture with a $59,500 first mortgage loan, which bore interest at 10% through its scheduled maturity in February 2006. On February 11, 2006, $35,000 of our loan to the venture was converted to additional preferred equity on the same terms as our existing preferred equity and the maturity date of the loan was extended. On June 30, 2006, the venture completed a $100,000 refinancing and repaid to us the remaining $24,500 balance of the loan. The venture’s new loan bears interest at LIBOR (capped at 5.5%) plus 2.20% (7.52% as of September 30, 2006) and matures in July 2008 with 3 one-year extension options. |
| (3) | The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income. Because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, we record our 32.9% share of Toys’ net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis. |
| (4) | The three months ended September 30, 2006 includes $10,842 for our share of net gains on sale of real estate. The three months ended September 30, 2005 includes (i) $7,992 for our share of Newkirk MLP’s losses on the early extinguishment of debt and write-off of related deferred financing costs, (ii) $2,586 for our share of impairment losses, partially offset by (iii) $3,509 for our share of net gains on sale of real estate. |
| (5) | The nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes $10,842 for our share of net gains on sale of real estate. The nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes (i) $7,992 for our share of Newkirk MLP’s losses on the early extinguishment of debt and write-off of related deferred financing costs, (ii) $6,602 for our share of impairment losses, partially offset by (iii) $3,723 for our share of net gains on sale of real estate. |
| (6) | Includes $2,173 for a prepayment penalty from the Monmouth Mall venture in August 2005 upon the repayment of our initial preferred equity investment. |

Toys
On July 21, 2005, a joint venture owned equally by us, Bain Capital and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. acquired Toys for $26.75 per share in cash or approximately $6.6 billion. In connection therewith, we invested $428,000,000 of the $1.3 billion of equity in the venture, consisting of $407,000,000 in cash and $21,000,000 in Toys common shares held by us. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
In the first quarter of 2006, Toys closed 87 Toys “R” Us stores in the United States as a result of its store-closing program. Toys incurred restructuring and other charges aggregating approximately $127,000,000 before tax, which includes $44,000,000 for the cost of liquidating the inventory. Of this amount, $94,000,000 was recognized in Toys’ fourth quarter ending January 28, 2006 and $33,000,000 was recorded in Toys’ first quarter ending April 29, 2006. Our 32.9% share of the $127,000,000 charge is $42,000,000, of which $33,000,000 had no income statement effect as a result of purchase price accounting and the remaining portion relating to the cost of liquidating inventory of approximately $10,000,000 after-tax, was recognized as an expense as part of our equity in Toys’ net income in the first quarter of 2006.
On July 19, 2006, Toys completed a financing, consisting of an $804,000,000, six-year term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 4.25% (9.6% at September 30, 2006) and a $200,000,000, two-year term loan bearing interest at an initial rate of LIBOR plus 3.00% (8.39% at September 30, 2006) for the first three months (increasing to 3.50% for the next three months and then to 4.00% for the remainder of the term). The proceeds from these loans were used to repay Toys’ $973,000,000 bridge loan, including the $76,816,000 balance due to us.
The unaudited information set forth below presents our pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 (including Toys’ results for the three and nine months ended July 30, 2005) as if the above transaction occurred on February 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma information below is not necessarily indicative of what our actual results would have been had the Toys transaction been consummated on February 1, 2004, nor does it represent the results of operations for any future periods. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect this transaction have been made.

We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements, which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable. In addition, we provide property management services for the common area of 731 Lexington Avenue for an annual fee of $220,000, escalating at 3% per annum.

GMH Communities L.P. (“GMH”)
As of September 30, 2006, we own 7,337,857 limited partnership units (which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into common shares of GMH Communities Trust (“GCT”) (NYSE: GCT), a real estate investment trust that conducts its business through GMH and of which it is the sole general partner, and 2,517,247 common shares of GCT (1,817,247 shares were received upon exercise of our warrants discussed below), or 13.5% of the limited partnership interest of GMH. As of September 30, 2006, the market value of our investment in GMH and GCT was $124,372,000, based on GCT’s September 30, 2006 closing share price of $12.62.
We account for our investment in GMH on the equity method and record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis as we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. On July 31, 2006 GCT filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which restated the quarterly financial results of each of the first three quarters of 2005. On September 15, 2006 GCT filed its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. GMH’s earnings for their fourth quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006 were not available in time to be recorded in our financial results for the second quarter of 2006. Accordingly, our earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 include equity in net income of $15,000, which consists of (i) a $94,000 net loss representing our share of GMH’s fourth quarter results, net of adjustments to restate its first three quarters of 2005, and (ii) $109,000 of net income for our share of GMH’s 2006 earnings through June 30, 2006.
On May 2, 2006, the date our GMH warrants were to expire, we received 1,817,247 GCT common shares through an automatic cashless exercise. The amount of the shares received was equal to the excess of GCT’s average closing share price for the trailing 20-day period ending on May 1, 2006 and the $8.22 exercise price, divided by GCT’s average closing share price for the trailing 20-day period ending on May 1, 2006, then multiplied by 6,085,180 warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized a net loss of $16,370,000, the difference between the value of the GCT common shares received on May 2, 2006 and GCT’s closing share price on December 31, 2005. From inception of our investment in the warrants, including the first tranche of warrants exercised on November 3, 2004, the aggregate net gain recognized was $51,352,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
9. | Debt - continued |
Notes to preceding tabular information:
(Amounts in thousands)
| (1) | On February 9, 2006, we completed a $353,000 refinancing of our 770 Broadway property. The loan bears interest at 5.65% and matures in March 2016. We realized net proceeds of $173,000 after repaying the existing floating rate loan and closing costs. |
| (2) | On April 3, 2006 we repaid the $43,496 balance of the Crystal Park 5 mortgage. |
| (3) | On May 5, 2006, we repaid the existing debt on the Warner Building and completed a 10-year interest-only refinancing of $292,700. The loan bears interest at 6.26% and matures in May 2016. We realized net proceeds of $133,000 after repaying the existing loan, closing costs and a prepayment penalty of $9,818. As part of the purchase price accounting for the December 27, 2005 acquisition of the Warner Building, we accrued a liability for the unfavorable terms of the debt assumed in the acquisition. Accordingly, the prepayment penalty did not result in an expense on our consolidated statement of income. |
| (4) | On May 23, 2006 we completed a $115,000 refinancing of the Bowen Building. This interest-only loan bears interest at 6.14% and matures in June 2016. We realized net proceeds of $51,600 after repaying the existing floating rate loan and closing costs. |
| (5) | On August 1, 2006 we repaid the $31,980 balance of the One and Two Skyline Place mortgages. |
| (6) | On June 9, 2006, we completed a $120,000 refinancing of the Montehiedra Town Center. The loan bears interest at 6.04% and matures in June 2016. We realized net proceeds of $59,000 after defeasing the existing loan and closing costs. As a result of the defeasance of the existing loan, we incurred a net loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $2,498, which was included in “interest and debt expense” in the second quarter of 2006. |
| (7) | On August 11, 2006, we completed $195,000 of a $220,000 refinancing of the High Point Complex. The remaining $25,000 was completed on October 4, 2006. The loan bears interest at 6.34% and matures in August 2016. We realized net proceeds of approximately $108,500 after defeasing the existing loans, and closing costs. As a result of the defeasance of the existing loans, we incurred an $8,548 net loss on the early extinguishment of debt, which is included in “interest and debt expense” in the third quarter of 2006. |
| (8) | On June 9, 2006, AmeriCold completed a $400,000, one-year, interest-only financing, collateralized by 21 owned and six leased temperature-controlled warehouses. On September 8, 2006, an amendment was executed increasing the amount of the loan to $430,000. Of this loan, $243,000 was drawn on June 30, 2006 to repay the existing mortgage on the same facilities and the remaining $187,000 was drawn on September 27, 2006 and will be used primarily to fund the purchase of the 4 ConAgra Foods refrigerated warehouses. The initial interest rate on the loan was LIBOR plus 0.60% and increased to LIBOR plus 1.25% when the remaining balance was drawn, subject to a 6.50% interest rate cap. In connection with the refinancing, AmeriCold wrote off $4,000 of deferred financing costs associated with the old loan, of which our share is $1,920, and was included in “interest and debt expense” in the second quarter of 2006. |
| (9) | On August 31, 2006, we extended the 220 Central Park South mortgage and anticipate completing a refinancing in the fourth quarter of 2006. |
| (10) | On February 16, 2006, we completed a public offering of $250,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.6% senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2011. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15, commencing August 16, 2006. The notes were priced at 99.906% of their face amount to yield 5.622%. |
| (11) | On June 28, 2006, we entered into a $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which replaced our previous $600,000 unsecured revolving credit facility, which was due to mature in July 2006. The new facility has a four-year term, with a one-year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.55% (5.87% as of September 30, 2006). |

Unsecured Notes Consent Solicitation
On May 9, 2006 we executed supplemental indentures with respect to our senior unsecured notes due 2007, 2009 and 2010 (collectively, the “Notes”), pursuant to our consent solicitation statement dated April 18, 2006, as amended. Holders of approximately 96.7% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes consented to the solicitation. The supplemental indentures contain modifications of certain covenants and related defined terms governing the terms of the Notes to make them consistent with corresponding provisions of the covenants and defined terms included in the senior unsecured notes due 2011 issued on February 16, 2006. The supplemental indentures also include a new covenant that provides for an increase in the interest rate of the Notes upon certain decreases in the ratings assigned by rating agencies to the Notes. In connection with the consent solicitation we paid an aggregate fee of $2,241,000 to the consenting note holders, which will be amortized into expense over the remaining term of the Notes. In addition, we incurred advisory and professional fees aggregating $1,415,000, which were expensed in the second quarter of 2006.
10. | Minority Interest |
The common and preferred units of our Operating Partnership that are not owned by Vornado Realty Trust represent the minority interest ownership.
On May 2, 2006, we sold 1,400,000 perpetual 6.875% Series D-15 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, at a price of $25.00 per share. On August 17, 2006 we sold an additional 400,000 Series D-15 Units at a price of $25.00 per share, for a combined total of 1,800,000 Series D-15 units and net proceeds of $43,875,000. We may redeem the Series D-15 Units at a price of $25.00 per share after May 2, 2011.
On September 21, 2006, we redeemed the 8.25% Series D-9 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units at a redemption price of $25.00 per unit, or an aggregate of $45,000,000 plus accrued distributions. In connection with the redemption, we wrote-off $1,125,000 of issuance costs in the third quarter.

The following table provides a reconciliation of both net income and the number of common shares used in the computation of (i) basic income per common share - which utilizes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and (ii) diluted income per common share - which includes the weighted average common shares and potentially dilutive share equivalents. Potentially dilutive share equivalents include our Series A convertible preferred shares, employee stock options and restricted share awards, exchangeable senior debentures due 2025 as well as Operating Partnership convertible preferred units.

Substantially all of other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 relates to income from the mark-to-market of marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale. Included in other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is the reversal into earnings of previously recorded appreciation of $55,490,000 on the Sears Canada common shares which were sold on April 3, 2006.
15. | Stock-based Compensation |
On January 1, 2003, we began to expense the fair value of stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2003, over the applicable vesting period as a component of general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of income. In the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we recognized $3,245,000 and $1,142,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 we recognized $7,018,000 and $3,344,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively.
For stock-based compensation awards granted prior to 2003, we used the intrinsic value method of accounting. Under this method, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized, as the exercise price equaled the closing share price of our stock on the date of each grant. Because stock option awards granted prior to 2003 vested over a three-year term, the resulting compensation cost based on the fair value of the awards on the date of grant, on a pro forma basis would have been expensed during 2003, 2004 and 2005. Accordingly, our net income applicable to common shares would remain the same on a pro forma basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, and would have been reduced by $84,000 and $253,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, with no change in basic or diluted net income per share.
Amendment to 2002 Omnibus Share Plan
On March 17, 2006, our Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved an amendment to our 2002 Omnibus Share Plan (the “Plan”) to permit the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) to grant awards in the form of limited partnership units (“OP Units”) of the Operating Partnership. OP Units can be granted either as free-standing awards or in tandem with other awards under the Plan. OP Units may be converted into the Operating Partnership’s Class A common units and, consequently, become convertible by the holder on a one-for-one basis for our common shares or the cash value of such shares at our election. On April 25, 2006, the Compensation Committee granted a total of 49,851 restricted OP Units to certain officers of the Company. These awards vest ratably over five years. The fair value of these awards on the date of grant, as adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was approximately $3,500,000 and will be amortized into expense over the five-year vesting period using a graded vesting attribution model.
2006 Out-Performance Plan
On March 17, 2006, the Board approved the terms of the Vornado Realty Trust 2006 Out-Performance Plan (the “2006 Out-Performance Plan”), a long-term incentive compensation program. The purpose of the 2006 Out-Performance Plan is to further align the interests of our shareholders and management by encouraging our senior officers and employees to create shareholder value in a “pay-for-performance” structure.

VORNADO REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

15. | Stock-based Compensation - continued |
Under the 2006 Out-Performance Plan, award recipients will share in a performance pool if our total return to shareholders over the three-year period from March 15, 2006 through March 14, 2009 exceeds a cumulative 30%, including both share appreciation and dividends paid, from a price per share of $89.17 (the average closing price per common share for the 30 trading days prior to March 15, 2006). The size of the pool will be 10% of the out-performance return amount in excess of the 30% benchmark, subject to a maximum dilution cap equal to $100,000,000. A portion of the performance pool can be earned during the first and second years, up to a cumulative maximum of $20,000,000 and $40,000,000, respectively, based on a minimum total return to shareholders benchmark of 10% and 20%, respectively. In the event the potential performance pool reaches the $20,000,000 dilution cap before March 14, 2007, the $40,000,000 dilution cap before March 14, 2008, or the $100,000,000 dilution cap before March 14, 2009, and remains at the applicable level or higher for 30 consecutive days, the applicable performance period will end early and the applicable pool will be established on the last day of such 30-day period. Each award will be designated as a specified percentage of the potential performance pool. Awards will be made in the form of a new class of Operating Partnership units (“OPP Units”) that, subject to performance, time vesting and other conditions, are convertible by the holder into an equivalent number of the Operating Partnership’s Class A units, which are redeemable by the holder for common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis or the cash value of such shares, at our election. The OPP Units are issued prior to the determination of the performance pool and are subject to forfeiture to the extent that less than the total award is earned. All awards earned will vest 33.3% on each of March 15, 2009, 2010 and 2011 based on continued employment. The 2006 Outperformance Plan provides that if a performance pool is established, each award recipient will be entitled to an amount equal to the distributions that would have been paid on the earned OPP Units since the beginning of the performance period, payable in the form of additional OPP Units. OPP Units, both vested and unvested, which award recipients have earned based on the establishment of a performance pool, whether at the end of year one, two or three, will be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per unit equal to the distributions payable on a Class A unit.
On April 25, 2006, our Compensation Committee approved 2006 Out-Performance Plan awards to a total of 54 officers of the Company, which aggregated 91% of the total Out-Performance Plan. The awards issued are accounted for in accordance with FASB No. 123R. The fair value of the awards on the date of grant, as adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was approximately $27,447,000 and will be amortized into expense over the five-year period beginning on the date of grant using a graded vesting attribution model. On August 26, 2006, the first-year $20,000,000 maximum dilution cap was established under the terms of the plan, as described above.
16. | Commitments and Contingencies |
At September 30, 2006, our $1 billion revolving credit facility, which expires in June 2010, had a zero outstanding balance and $19,746,000 was reserved for outstanding letters of credit. This facility contains financial covenants, which require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provides for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. At September 30, 2006, Americold’s $30,000,000 revolving credit facility had a zero outstanding balance and $17,000,000 was reserved for outstanding letters of credit. This facility requires Americold to maintain, on a trailing four-quarter basis, a minimum of $30,000,000 of free cash flow, as defined. Both of these facilities contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.
We have made acquisitions and investments in partially-owned entities for which we are committed to fund additional capital aggregating $75,227,000. Of this amount, $25,000,000 relates to Springfield Mall capital expenditures to be funded over the next six years.
On November 10, 2005, we committed to fund the junior portion of up to $30,530,000 of a $173,000,000 construction loan to an entity developing a mix-use building complex in Boston, Massachusetts, at the north end of the Boston Harbor. We will earn current-pay interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 11%. The loan will mature in November 2008, with a one-year extension option. As of September 30, 2006, we have funded $217,000 of this commitment.

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties (which are generally non-recourse to us), our senior unsecured notes due 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011, our exchangeable senior debentures due 2025 and our revolving credit agreements, contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage under these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, or if the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 is not extended past 2007, it could adversely affect our ability to finance and/or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.
Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs.
We enter into agreements for the purchase and resale of U.S. government obligations for periods of up to one week. The obligations purchased under these agreements are held in safekeeping in our name by various money center banks. We have the right to demand additional collateral or return of these invested funds at any time the collateral value is less than 102% of the invested funds plus any accrued earnings thereon. We had $34,750,000 and $177,650,000 of cash invested in these agreements at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
From time to time, we have disposed of substantial amounts of real estate to third parties for which, as to certain properties, we remain contingently liable for rent payments or mortgage indebtedness that cannot be quantified.
Litigation
On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey claiming we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its decision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties have appealed the Court’s decision and oral argument is expected to occur during November 2006. We intend to pursue our claims against Stop & Shop vigorously.
On July 22, 2005, two corporations owned 50% by H Street filed a complaint against the Company, H Street and three parties affiliated with the sellers of H Street in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia alleging that we encouraged H Street and the affiliated parties to breach their fiduciary duties to these corporations and interfered with prospective business and contractual relationships. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages and a rescission of our acquisition of H Street. On September 12, 2005, we filed a complaint against each of those corporations and their acting directors seeking a restoration of H Street’s full shareholder rights and damages. In addition, on July 29, 2005, a tenant under ground leases for which one of these 50%-owned corporations is landlord brought a separate suit in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, alleging, among other things, that the acquisition of H Street violated a provision giving them a right of first offer and seeks rescission of our acquisition, the right to acquire H Street for the price paid by us and/or damages. On July 14, 2006, we filed a counterclaim against the tenant asserting that the tenant and the other owner of the 50%-owned ground landlord deliberately excluded H Street from negotiating and executing a purported amendment to the agreement to lease when H Street’s consent and execution was required and, consequently, that the amended agreement and the related ground leases are invalid, the tenant is in default under the ground leases and the ground leases are void and without any effect. These legal actions are currently in the discovery stage. The Company believes that the actions filed against the Company are without merit and that the Company will ultimately be successful in defending against them.
There are various other legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

Notes to preceding tabular information
(1) | EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
New York, New York
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of September 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended prior to the reclassification for the discontinued operations described in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 12 that were applied to reclassify the December 31, 2005 consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (not presented herein) for discontinued operations. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied and the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the reclassified consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or similar expressions in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Many of the factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 under “Forward Looking Statements” and “Item 1. Business – Certain Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Business and Operations.” For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| Critical Accounting Policies |
A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2006.

Overview
Business Objective and Operating Strategy
Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value. We measure our success in meeting this objective by our total return to shareholders. Below is a table comparing our performance to the Morgan Stanley REIT Index (“RMS”) for the following periods ending September 30, 2006:
|
| Total Return (1) |
| ||
|
| Vornado |
| RMS |
|
One-year |
| 31.3 | % | 26.6 | % |
Three-years |
| 159.9 | % | 100.8 | % |
Five-years |
| 260.0 | % | 172.7 | % |
Ten-years |
| 810.1 | % | 319.7 | % |
_________________________
| (1) | Past performance is not necessarily indicative of how we will perform in the future. |
We intend to achieve our business objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and executing our operating strategies through:
| • | Maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit; |
| • | Investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City and Washington, DC, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation; |
| • | Acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents; |
| • | Investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area; |
| • | Investing in fully-integrated operating companies that have a significant real estate component; |
| • | Developing and redeveloping our existing properties to increase returns and maximize value; and |
| • | Providing specialty financing to real estate related companies. |
Competition
We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers. Principal factors of competition are rent charged, attractiveness of location and quality and breadth of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends. Economic growth has been fostered, in part, by low interest rates, Federal tax cuts, and increases in government spending. To the extent economic growth stalls, we may experience lower occupancy rates, which may lead to lower initial rental rates, higher leasing costs and a corresponding decrease in our net income, funds from operations and cash flow. Alternatively, if economic growth is sustained, we may experience higher occupancy rates leading to higher initial rents and higher interest rates causing an increase in our weighted average cost of capital and a corresponding effect on our net income, funds from operations and cash flow. Our net income and funds from operations will also be affected by the seasonality of Toys’ business and competition from discount and mass merchandisers.

Quarter Ended September 30, 2006 Financial Results Summary
Net income applicable to common shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $113,632,000, or $0.76 per diluted share, versus $27,223,000, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 includes a $40,699,000 net loss from our investment in Toys and $10,842,000 for our share of net gains on sale of real estate. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 includes a $530,000 net loss from our investment in Toys for the period from July 21, 2005 (the date of Toys acquisition) to July 30, 2005 and $3,509,000 for our share of a net gain on sale of real estate. Net income for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 also include certain other items that affect comparability which are listed in the table on page 43. The aggregate of these items, the net gains on sales of real estate and our share of Toys’ net loss, net of minority interest, increased net income applicable to common shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 by $14,902,000, or $0.10 share and reduced net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 by $58,741,000, or $0.41 per diluted share.
Funds from operations applicable to common shares plus assumed conversions (“FFO”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $204,535,000, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to $93,272,000, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the prior year’s quarter. FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2006 includes our $32,750,000 share of Toys’ negative FFO for their quarter ended July 29, 2006. FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2005 includes our $714,000 share of Toys’ positive FFO for the period from July 21, 2005 (the date of Toys acquisition) to July 30, 2005. FFO for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 include certain other items that affect comparability which are listed in the table on page 43. The aggregate of these items and our share of Toys’ FFO, net of minority interest, increased FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 by $12,530,000, or $0.08 per diluted share and reduced FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 by $60,861,000, or $0.42 per diluted share.
Net income per diluted share and FFO per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were negatively impacted by an increase in weighted average common shares outstanding over the prior year’s quarter of 6,285,000 and 11,431,000, respectively. This increase resulted primarily from the public offering of 9,000,000 common shares in August 2005.
We did not recognize income on certain assets with an aggregate carrying amount of $629,207,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, because they were out of service for redevelopment. Assets under development include the Bergen Mall, 2101 L Street, Crystal Mall Two, Crystal Plaza Two, 220 Central Park South, 40 East 66th Street, and investments in joint ventures including our Beverly Connection and Wasserman ventures.

2006 Acquisitions and Significant Investments
San Francisco Bay Area Properties
On January 10, 2006, we acquired four properties consisting of 189,000 square feet of retail and office space in the San Francisco Bay area for approximately $72,000,000 in cash, including closing costs. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our financial position and results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Springfield Mall |
On January 31, 2006, we closed on an option to purchase the 1.4 million square foot Springfield Mall which is located on 79 acres at the intersection of Interstate 95 and Franconia Road in Springfield, Fairfax County, Virginia, and is anchored by Macy’s, and J.C. Penney and Target, who own their stores aggregating 389,000 square feet. The purchase price for the option was $35,600,000, of which we paid $14,000,000 in cash at closing and the remainder of $21,600,000 will be paid in installments over four years. We intend to redevelop, reposition and re-tenant the mall and have committed to spend $25,000,000 in capital expenditures over a six-year period from the closing of the option agreement. The option becomes exercisable upon the passing of one of the existing principals of the selling entity and may be deferred at our election through November 2012. Upon exercise of the option, we will pay $80,000,000 to acquire the mall, subject to the existing mortgage of $180,000,000, which will be amortized to $149,000,000 at maturity in 2013. Upon closing of the option on January 31, 2006, we acquired effective control of the mall, including management of the mall and right to the mall’s net cash flow. Accordingly, we consolidate the accounts of the mall into our financial position and results of operations pursuant to the provisions of FIN 46R. We have a 2.5% minority partner in this transaction.
BNA Complex
On February 17, 2006, we entered into an agreement to sell our 277,000 square foot Crystal Mall Two office building, located in Arlington, Virginia, to The Bureau of National Affairs, Inc. (“BNA”) for use as its corporate headquarters, subject to the buildout of the building to agreed-upon specifications. Simultaneously, we agreed to acquire a three building complex from BNA containing approximately 300,000 square feet, which is located in Washington D.C.’s West End between Georgetown and the Central Business District. We will receive sales proceeds of approximately $100,000,000 for Crystal Mall Two and recognize a net gain on sale of approximately $23,000,000. We will pay BNA $111,000,000 for the three building complex. One of the buildings, containing 130,000 square feet, will remain an office building, while the other two buildings will be redeveloped into residential condominiums. These transactions are expected to close in the second half of 2007.
San Jose, California Ground-up Development
On March 29, 2006, a joint venture, in which we have a 45% equity interest and are a co-managing partner, acquired 55 acres of land in San Jose, California for approximately $59,600,000, including closing costs. The purchase price was funded with $20,643,000 of cash contributed by the partners, of which our share was $9,289,000, and $38,957,000 drawn on a $117,000,000 acquisition/construction loan. The remainder of the loan will be used to fund the development of a 635,000 square foot retail center on the site. As of September 30, 2006, $47,708,000 was outstanding under the loan, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% (7.13% at September 30, 2006) and matures in March 2009 with a one-year extension option. Upon completion of the development we have an option to acquire our partner’s 55% equity interest at a 7% unlevered yield. We account for this investment on the equity method.
1925 K Street
On April 13, 2006, we acquired the 92.65% interest that we did not already own of 1925 K Street, a 150,000 square foot office building located in the Central Business District of Washington, DC. The purchase price for the 92.65% interest was $52,800,000, consisting of $34,600,000 in cash and $18,200,000 of existing mortgage debt. Mitchell N. Schear, President of our Washington, DC Office division, received $3,675,000 for his share of the proceeds as a partner of the selling entity. We plan to redevelop this property into a 226,000 square foot Class A office building at a cost of approximately $80,000,000. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our financial position and results of operations from the date of acquisition.

1540 Broadway
On July 11, 2006, we acquired the retail, signage and parking components of 1540 Broadway located in Manhattan’s Times Square between 45th and 46th Street. The purchase price was approximately $260,000,000 in cash. The property contains 152,000 square feet of retail space which is 60% occupied. The principal tenants are Virgin Records and Planet Hollywood. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our financial position and results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Refrigerated Warehouses
On August 31, 2006, a subsidiary of Americold Realty Trust (“Americold”) entered into a definitive agreement to acquire from ConAgra Foods, Inc. (“ConAgra Foods”) four refrigerated warehouse facilities and the lease on a fifth facility, with an option to purchase. These five warehouses contain a total of 1.7 million square feet and 48.9 million cubic feet. The aggregate purchase price, including closing costs, is approximately $190,000,000, consisting of $152,000,000 in cash to ConAgra Foods and $38,000,000 representing the recording of a capital lease obligation for the fifth facility. On October 10, 2006, a subsidiary of Americold assumed the leasehold on the fifth facility and the related capital lease obligation. Americold expects to complete the balance of this acquisition in the first quarter of 2007.
Toys “R” Us Stores
On September 14, 2006, we entered into an agreement to purchase up to 44 previously closed Toys “R” Us stores for up to $190,000,000. On October 16, 2006, we completed the first phase of the agreement by acquiring 37 stores for $171,000,000 in cash. These properties, of which 18 are owned in fee, 8 are ground leased and 11 are space leased, aggregate 1.5 million square feet and are primarily located in seven east coast states, Texas and California. Of these properties, 25 are leased or subleased to other retailers and 12 are currently vacant. All of these stores were part of the store closing program announced by Toys “R” Us in January 2006.
We expect to purchase six of the remaining stores by the end of the first quarter of 2007, subject to landlords’ consent, where applicable, and customary closing conditions. The seventh store we agreed to purchase was sold by Toys “R” Us to a third party.
Our 32.9% share of Toys “R” Us (“Toys”) net gain on this transaction will be recorded as an adjustment to the basis of our investment in Toys and will not be recorded as income.
Filene’s, Boston, Massachusetts
On October 13, 2006, we entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Gale International, LLC to acquire and redevelop the Filene’s property located in the Downtown Crossing district of Boston, Massachusetts which we had agreed to purchase from Federated Department Stores, Inc. The purchase price is approximately $100,000,000 in cash. Current plans for the development include over 1,200,000 square feet consisting of office, retail, condominium apartments and a hotel. The project is subject to governmental approvals. The purchase is expected to close in the first quarter of 2007, subject to customary closing conditions.

Investment in McDonald’s Corporation (“McDonalds”) (NYSE: MCD)
In July 2005, we acquired an aggregate of 858,000 common shares of McDonalds for $25,346,000, an average price of $29.54 per share. These shares are recorded as marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheet and are classified as “available for sale.” Appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of these shares is recorded as an increase or decrease in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the shareholders’ equity section of our consolidated balance sheets and not recognized in income. At September 30, 2006, based on McDonalds’ closing stock price of $39.12 per share, $4,736,000 of appreciation in the value of these shares was included in “accumulated other comprehensive income.”
During the second half of 2005, we acquired an economic interest in an additional 14,565,500 McDonalds common shares through a series of privately negotiated transactions with a financial institution pursuant to which we purchased a call option and simultaneously sold a put option at the same strike price on McDonalds’ common shares. These call and put options had an initial weighted-average strike price of $32.66 per share, or an aggregate of $475,692,000, expire on various dates between July 30, 2007 and September 10, 2007 and provide for net cash settlement. Under these agreements, the strike price for each pair of options increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points (up to 95 basis points under certain circumstances) and is credited for the dividends received on the shares. The options provide us with the same economic gain or loss as if we had purchased the underlying common shares and borrowed the aggregate purchsae price at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points. Because these options are derivatives and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the options at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statements of income.
In the three months ended March 31, 2006, we sold 2,119,500 of the option shares in the derivative position at a weighted average sales price of $35.49. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, we acquired an additional 1,250,000 option shares at a weighted average purchase price of $33.08. As of September 30, 2006, there are 13,696,000 option shares in the derivative position with an adjusted weighted average strike price of $32.70 per share or an aggregate of $447,822,000. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized net gains of $68,796,000 and $60,581,000, respectively, representing the mark-to-market of the shares in the derivative to $39.12 per share, net of the expense resulting from the LIBOR charges.
Our aggregate net gain realized from inception of this investment through September 30, 2006 is $77,635,000.

Investment in Sears, Roebuck and Co. (“Sears”)
In August and September 2004, we acquired an economic interest in 7,916,900 Sears common shares through a series of privately negotiated transactions with a financial institution pursuant to which we purchased a call option and simultaneously sold a put option at the same strike price on Sears common shares. These call and put options had an initial weighted-average strike price of $39.82 per share, or an aggregate of $315,250,000, expire in April 2006 and provide for net cash settlement. Under these agreements, the strike price for each pair of options increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points and is credited for the dividends received on the shares. The options provide us with the same economic gain or loss as if we had purchased the underlying common shares and borrowed the aggregate strike price at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points. Because these options are derivatives and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the options at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statement of income.
On March 30, 2005, as a result of the merger between Sears and Kmart and pursuant to the terms of the contract, our derivative position representing 7,916,900 Sears common shares became a derivative position representing 2,491,819 common shares of Sears Holdings, Inc. (“Sears Holdings”) (NYSE: SHLD) valued at $323,936,000 based on the then closing share price of $130.00 and $146,663,000 of cash. As a result, we recognized a net gain of $58,443,000 based on the fair value of the derivative position on March 30, 2005. In 2005 we sold 402,660 of the option shares at a weighted average sales price of $124.44 per share. In the first quarter of 2006, we settled the entire derivative position by selling the remaining 2,089,159 option shares at a weighted average sales price of $125.43 which resulted in a net gain of $18,611,000, comprised of $20,673,000 from the remaining option shares sold, partially offset by, $2,062,000 of expense resulting from the increase in strike price for the LIBOR charge.
Our aggregate net gain realized from inception of this investment through settlement was $142,877,000.
Sears Canada, Inc. (“Sears Canada”)
On April 3, 2006, we tendered the 7,500,000 Sears Canada shares we owned to Sears Holdings at the increased tender price of Cdn. $18.00 per share (the equivalent at that time of US $15.68 per share), which resulted in a net gain of $55,438,000 representing the difference between the tender price, and our carrying amount of $8.29 per share. The net gain is reflected as a component of “net gain on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate” on our consolidated statement of income. Together with income recognized in the fourth quarter of 2005 that resulted from a Sears Canada special dividend, the aggregate net gain from inception on our $143,737,000 investment was $78,323,000. If at any time on or before December 31, 2008 Sears Canada or any of its affiliates pays more than Cdn. $18.00 per share to acquire Sears Canada common shares from third parties, we will be entitled to receive the difference as additional consideration for the shares we sold.

2006 Dispositions:
On March 13, 2006, we sold 424 Sixth Avenue, a 10,000 square foot retail property located in New York City, for $22,000,000, which resulted in a net gain of $9,218,000.
On March 14, 2006, we sold 33 North Dearborn Street, a 336,000 square foot office building located in Chicago, Illinois, for $46,000,000, which resulted in a net gain of $4,835,000.

On June 22, 2006, we sold 1919 South Eads Street, a 96,000 square foot office building located in Arlington, Virginia for $38,400,000, which resulted in a net gain of $17,609,000.
2006 Financings:
On February 9, 2006, we completed a $353,000,000 refinancing of 770 Broadway. The loan bears interest at 5.65% and matures in March 2016. The net proceeds of $173,000,000, after repaying the existing floating rate loan and closing costs, were used for general corporate purposes.
On February 16, 2006, we completed a public offering of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.6% senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2011. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15, commencing August 16, 2006. The notes were priced at 99.906% of their face amount to yield 5.622%.

Unsecured Notes Consent Solicitation
On May 9, 2006 we executed supplemental indentures with respect to our senior unsecured notes due 2007, 2009 and 2010 (collectively, the “Notes”), pursuant to our consent solicitation statement dated April 18, 2006, as amended. Holders of approximately 96.7% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes consented to the solicitation. The supplemental indentures contain modifications of certain covenants and related defined terms governing the terms of the Notes to make them consistent with corresponding provisions of the covenants and defined terms included in the senior unsecured notes due 2011 issued on February 16, 2006. The supplemental indentures also include a new covenant that provides for an increase in the interest rate of the Notes upon certain decreases in the ratings assigned by rating agencies to the Notes. In connection with the consent solicitation we paid an aggregate fee of $2,241,000 to the consenting note holders, which will be amortized into expense over the remaining term of the Notes. In addition, we incurred advisory and professional fees aggregating $1,415,000, which were expensed in the second quarter of 2006.

U.S. Patent and Trade Office (“PTO”) space in Crystal City
During 2004 and 2005, the PTO vacated 1,939,000 square feet of space at our Crystal City properties. Of this space, Crystal Plaza Two, Three and Four, aggregating 712,000 square feet was taken out of service for redevelopment. During 2006, the redevelopment of Crystal Plaza Three and Four, aggregating 531,000 square feet, was substantially completed, placed into service and re-leased. As of September 30, 2006, we have re-leased a total of 1,216,000 square feet of the former PTO space and 181,000 square feet, representing Crystal Plaza Two, remains out of service for conversion to a 19-story residential tower.
2006 Other Developments
GMH Communities L.P. (“GMH”)
As of September 30, 2006, we own 7,337,857 limited partnership units (which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into common shares of GMH Communities Trust (“GCT”) (NYSE: GCT), a real estate investment trust that conducts its business through GMH and of which it is the sole general partner, and 2,517,247 common shares of GCT (1,817,247 shares were received upon exercise of our warrants discussed below), or 13.5% of the limited partnership interest of GMH.
We account for our investment in GMH on the equity method and record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis as we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. On July 31, 2006 GCT filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which restated the quarterly financial results of each of the first three quarters of 2005. On September 15, 2006, GCT filed its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. GMH’s earnings for their fourth quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006 were not available in time to be recorded in our financial results for the second quarter of 2006. Accordingly, our earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include equity in net income of $15,000, which consists of (i) a $94,000 net loss representing our share of GMH’s fourth quarter results, net of adjustments to restate its first three quarters of 2005, and (ii) $109,000 of net income for our share of GMH’s 2006 earnings through June 30, 2006.
On May 2, 2006, the date our GMH warrants were to expire, we received 1,817,247 GCT common shares through an automatic cashless exercise. The amount of the shares received was equal to the excess of GCT’s average closing share price for the trailing 20-day period ending on May 1, 2006 and the $8.22 exercise price, divided by GCT’s average closing share price for the trailing 20-day period ending on May 1, 2006, then multiplied by 6,085,180 warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized a net loss of $16,370,000, the difference between the value of the GCT common shares received on May 2, 2006 and GCT’s closing share price on December 31, 2005. From inception of our investment in the warrants, including the first tranche of warrants exercised on November 3, 2004, the aggregate net gain recognized was $51,352,000.

Notes:
(1) | EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. |
(2) | Other EBITDA is comprised of: |

| (1) | Average occupancy and revenue per available room (“REVPAR”) were 83.0% and $107.65 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 86.6% and $99.31 for the prior year’s third quarter. |
| (2) | Results primarily from the timing of the NeoCon East trade show, which was held in September of 2005 (third quarter) and October 2006 (fourth quarter). |
| (3) | Results primarily from (i) $37,500 of transportation management services revenue in the prior year’s quarter from a government agency for transportation services in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina and (ii) a $5,800 decrease in revenue due to a decline in storage, handling and accessorial services in the current quarter. See page 57 note 3 for a discussion of AmeriCold’s gross margin. |
| (4) | Reflects an increase in rentals and a reduction in leasing and management fees as a result of acquiring buildings, which were previously partially-owned and presented as managed for third parties; partially offset by $2,450 of income in 2006 from the termination of a hotel management agreement. |
| (5) | Represents the elimination of inter-company cleaning fees charged by the New York Office division to certain properties included in the Washington, DC Office, Retail and Merchandise Mart divisions. |

| (1) | Results primarily from increases of $2,352 and $2,279 in real estate taxes in New York and Washington, DC, respectively. |
| (2) | Results primarily from the timing of the NeoCon East trade show, which was held in September of 2005 (third quarter) and October 2006 (fourth quarter). |
| (3) | Results primarily from $27,500 of transportation management services operating expenses in the prior year’s quarter related to the services provided to a government agency in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. AmeriCold’s gross margin from comparable warehouses was $38,100, or 31.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to $36,800, or 31.5% for the prior year’s quarter. Gross margin from transportation management services, managed warehouses and other non-warehouse activities was $1,800 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to $11,800 for the prior year’s quarter, a $10,000 decrease. This decrease was primarily due to higher transportation revenues in last year’s quarter as noted above. |
| (4) | Results primarily from a $2,241 elimination of intercompany cleaning fees charged by the New York Office division to certain properties included in the Washington, DC, Office, Retail and Merchandise Mart divisions. |
| (5) | Results primarily from a lower bonus accrual in the current year. |

(Loss) Income Applicable to Alexander’s
Our 33% share of Alexander’s net loss (including equity in net income or loss, management, leasing, development and commitment fees) was $3,586,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to our share of net income of $3,699,000 for the prior year’s third quarter, a decrease of $7,285,000. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in our share of Alexander’s SAR expense of $4,836,000 and a $1,960,000 reduction in our share of Alexander’s net gain on sale of 731 Lexington Avenue condominiums.
(Loss) Income Applicable to Toys
On July 21, 2005, a joint venture owned equally by us, Bain Capital and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. acquired Toys for $26.75 per share in cash or approximately $6.6 billion. In connection therewith, we invested $428,000,000 of the $1.3 billion of equity in the venture, consisting of $407,000,000 in cash and $21,000,000 in Toys common shares held by us. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
In the first quarter of 2006, Toys closed 87 Toys “R” Us stores in the United States as a result of its store-closing program. Toys incurred restructuring and other charges aggregating approximately $127,000,000 before tax, which includes $44,000,000 for the cost of liquidating the inventory. Of this amount, $94,000,000 was recognized in Toys’ fourth quarter ending January 28, 2006 and $33,000,000 was recorded in Toys’ first quarter ending April 29, 2006. Our 32.9% share of the $127,000,000 charge is $42,000,000, of which $33,000,000 had no income statement effect as a result of purchase price accounting and the remaining portion relating to the cost of liquidating inventory of approximately $10,000,000 after-tax, was recognized as an expense as part of our equity in Toys’ net income in the first quarter of 2006.
As a result of the store-closing program, Toys incurred restructuring and other charges aggregating approximately $127,000,000 before tax, which includes $41,000,000 for the cost of liquidating the inventory. Of this amount, $94,000,000 was recognized in Toys’ fourth quarter ending January 28, 2006 and $33,000,000 was recorded in Toys’ first quarter ending April 29, 2006. Our 32.9% share of the $127,000,000 charge is $42,000,000, of which $33,000,000 had no income statement effect as a result of purchase price accounting and the remaining portion relating to the cost of liquidating inventory of approximately $9,000,000 after-tax, was recognized as an expense as part of our equity in Toys’ net income in the first quarter of 2006.
On July 19, 2006, Toys completed a financing, consisting of an $804,000,000, six-year term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 4.25% (9.6% at September 30, 2006) and a $200,000,000, two-year term loan bearing interest at an initial rate of LIBOR plus 3.00% (8.39% at September 30, 2006) for the first three months (increasing to 3.50% for the next three months and then to 4.00% for the remainder of the term). The proceeds from these loans were used to repay Toys’ $973,000,000 bridge loan, including the $76,816,000 balance due to us.
The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income. Because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, we record our 32.9% share of Toys’ net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis. We recorded a net loss of $40,699,000 from our investment in Toys for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to a net loss of $530,000 in the prior year’s quarter. The net loss in the current quarter consists of (i) our $42,720,000 share of Toys’ second quarter net loss in for their quarter ended July 29, 2006, partially offset by (ii) $866,000 of interest income from our share of Toys’ senior unsecured bridge loan and (iii) $1,155,000 of management fees. The net loss in the prior year’s quarter represents our share of Toy’s net loss in Toys’ second quarter ended July 30, 2005 for the period from July 21, 2005 (date of acquisition by the Company) to July 30, 2005.

(Loss) Income Applicable to Toys - continued
The unaudited information set forth below presents our pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 (including Toys’ results for the three months ended July 30, 2005) as if the above transaction occurred on February 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma information below is not necessarily indicative of what our actual results would have been had the Toys transaction been consummated on February 1, 2004, nor does it represent the results of operations for any future periods. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect this transaction have been made.

________________________
(1) | 2006 includes $10,842 for our share of net gains on sale of real estate. 2005 includes (i) $7,992 for our share of losses on the early extinguishment of debt and write-off of related deferred financing costs, (ii) $2,586 for our share of impairment losses, partially offset by (iii) $3,509 for the Company’s share of net gains on sale of real estate. Excluding the above items, our share of Newkirk MLP’s net income was $3,368 lower than the prior quarter, primarily as a result of asset sales. |
(2) | We account for our investment in H Street partially-owned entities on the equity method on a one-quarter lag basis. Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, two 50% owned entities that are contesting our acquisition of H Street impeded access to their financial information and accordingly, we were unable to record our pro rata share of their earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, based on the financial information provided to us, we recognized equity in net income of $4,065, from these entities, of which $1,083 was for the period from July 20, 2005 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2005. |
(3) | We account for our investment in GMH on the equity method and record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis as we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. On July 31, 2006 GCT filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which restated the quarterly financial results of each of the first three quarters of 2005. On September 15, 2006 GCT filed its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. GMH’s earnings for their fourth quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006 were not available in time to be recorded in our financial results for the second quarter of 2006. Accordingly, our earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2006 include equity in net income of $15,000, which consists of (i) a $94,000 net loss representing our share of GMH’s fourth quarter results, net of adjustments to restate its first three quarters of 2005, and (ii) $109,000 of net income for our share of GMH’s 2006 earnings through June 30, 2006. |
(4) | Includes our equity in net earnings of partially owned entities including, partially owned office buildings in New York and Washington, DC, the Monmouth Mall, Dune Capital LP, Verde Group LLC, and others. |
(5) | Includes $2,173 for a prepayment penalty from the Monmouth Mall venture in August 2005 upon the repayment of our initial preferred equity investment. |

Interest and Other Investment Income (expense)
Interest and other investment income (mark-to-market of derivative positions, interest income on mortgage loans receivable, other interest income and dividend income) was $98,096,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to expense of $35,663,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $133,759,000. This increase resulted primarily from:

Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense was $115,747,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $88,213,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $27,534,000. This increase was primarily due to (i) $16,900,000 from a $1.45 billion increase in outstanding debt due to property acquisitions and refinancings, (ii) $4,900,000 from a 160 basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate on variable rate of debt, (iii) $3,500,000 from the February 16, 2006 issuance of $250,000,000 unsecured notes due 2011, (iv) $8,500,000 for the cost of the High Point mortgage loan defeasance, partially offset by, (v) $5,400,000 of an increase in the amount of capitalized interest, of which $3,500,000 was related to the first and second quarter of 2006 and the remainder relates to a larger amount of assets under development in the current quarter.
Net Gain on Disposition of Wholly-Owned and Partially-Owned Assets Other than Depreciable Real Estate
Net gain on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate was $8,032,000 and $13,448,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, and 2005, respectively, and represent net gains on sale of marketable securities in each period.
Minority Interest of Partially-Owned Entities
Minority interest of partially owned entities represents the minority partners’ pro rata share of the net income or loss of consolidated partially owned entities, including Americold, 220 Central Park South, Wasserman and the Springfield Mall. In the three months ended September 30, 2006 we recorded $2,534,000 of income as compared to $768,000 of expense in the prior year’s quarter. The increase of $3,302,000 over the prior year’s quarter relates primarily to a reduction in Americold’s minority interest expense as a result of lower net income.
Income From Discontinued Operations
The combined results of operations of the assets related to discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 include the operating results of Vineland, New Jersey; 33 North Dearborn Street in Chicago, Illinois, which was sold on March 14, 2006; 424 Sixth Avenue in New York City, which was sold on March 13, 2006 and 1919 South Eads Street in Arlington, Virginia, which was sold on June 22, 2006.

Minority Limited Partners’ Interest in the Operating Partnership
Minority limited partners’ interest in the Operating Partnership was $13,103,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $3,342,000 for the prior year’s first quarter, an increase of $9,761,000. This increase results primarily from higher net income subject to allocation to the minority limited partners.
Perpetual Preferred Unit Distributions of the Operating Partnership
Perpetual preferred unit distributions of the Operating Partnership were $6,683,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $27,215,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $20,532,000. This decrease resulted primarily from the redemption of the D-3, D-4, D-5, D-6, D-7, and D-8 perpetual preferred units in 2005, partially offset by the issuance of the D-14 units in September 2005 and the D-15 units in May and August 2006.
Preferred Share Dividends
Preferred share dividends were $14,351,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $11,519,000 for the prior year’s third quarter, an increase of $2,832,000. This increase resulted primarily from dividends paid on the 6.625% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares which were issued in August 2005.

__________________________
| (1) | Represents the increase (decrease) in property-level operations which were owned for the same period in each year and excludes the effect of property acquisitions, dispositions and other non-operating items that affect comparability, including divisional general and administrative expenses. Beginning on January 1, 2006, we have revised our definition of same store operations to exclude divisional general and administrative expenses. We utilize this measure to make decisions on whether to buy or sell properties as well as to compare the performance of our properties to that of our peers. Same store operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. |

Notes:
(1) | EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. |

(2) | Results primarily from (i) $37,500 of transportation management services revenue in the prior year’s nine months from a government agency for transportation services in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, partially offset by (ii) an $11,300 increase in other transportation revenue and (iii) a $6,500 increase in managed warehouse revenue. See page 67 note 3 for a discussion of AmeriCold’s gross margin. |
(3) | Reflects lease termination income of $13,362 received from HIP at 7 West 34th Street in January 2005. |
(4) | Reflects an increase in rentals and a reduction in leasing and management fees as a result of acquiring buildings, which were previously partially owned and presented as managed for third parties, partially offset by $2,450 of income in 2006 from the termination of a hotel management agreement. |
(5) | Represents the elimination of inter-company cleaning fees charged by the New York Office division to certain properties included in the Washington, DC Office, Retail and Merchandise Mart divisions. |

Income Applicable to Alexander’s
Our 33% share of Alexander’s net income (including equity in net income, management, leasing, development and commitment fees) was $7,569,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $42,115,000 for the prior year’s nine months, a decrease of $34,546,000. This decrease was primarily due to (i) a $23,554,000 reduction in our share of Alexander’s net gain on sale of 731 Lexington Avenue condominiums, (ii) a $2,928,000 increase in our share of Alexander’s SAR expense, (iii) a $5,286,000 reduction in development and guarantee fees, primarily because Alexander’s 731 Lexington Avenue project was substantially completed in 2005, (iv) $6,022,000 of interest income in the prior year’s nine-month period on loans to Alexander’s which were repaid to us in July 2005, partially offset by a $2,353,000 increase in our share of Alexander’s operating income.
Income Applicable to Toys
We recorded net income of $4,177,000 from our investment in Toys for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to a net loss of $530,000 in the prior year’s nine months. The net income in the current quarter consisted of (i) our $3,614,000 share of Toys’ net loss for the period from October 30, 2005 to July 29, 2006, (ii) $5,731,000 of interest income from our share of Toys’ senior unsecured bridge loan and (iii) $2,059,000 of management fees. The net loss in the prior year’s nine months represents our share of Toys’ net loss in Toys’ second quarter ended July 30, 2005 for the period ended July 21, 2005 (date of acquisition by the Company) to July 30, 2005.
The unaudited information set forth below presents our pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 (including Toys’ results for nine months ended July 30, 2005) as if the above transaction occurred on February 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma information below is not necessarily indicative of what our actual results would have been had the Toys transaction been consummated on February 1, 2004, nor does it represent the results of operations for any future periods. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect this transaction have been made.

__________________________
| (1) | 2006 includes $10,842 for our share of net gains on sale of real estate. 2005 includes (i) $7,992 for our share of losses on the early extinguishment of debt and write-off of related deferred financing costs, (ii) $6,602 for our share of impairment losses, partially offset by (iii) $3,723 for our share of net gains on sale of real estate. Excluding the above items, our share of Newkirk MLP’s net income was $7,632 lower than the prior year, primarily as a result of asset sales. |
| (2) | We account for our investment in H Street partially-owned entities on the equity method on a one-quarter lag basis. Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, two 50% owned entities that are contesting our acquisition of H Street impeded access to their financial information and accordingly, we were unable to record our pro rata share of their earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, based on the financial information provided to us, we recognized equity in net income of $8,376 from these entities, of which $3,890 represents our 50% share of their earnings for the period from July 20, 2006 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2005. |
| (3) | We account for our investment in GMH on the equity method and record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis as we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. On July 31, 2006 GCT filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which restated the quarterly financial results of each of the first three quarters of 2005. On September 15, 2006 GCT filed its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. GMH’s earnings for their fourth quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006 were not available in time to be recorded in our financial results for the second quarter of 2006. Accordingly, our earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include equity in net income of $15,000, which consists of (i) a $94,000 net loss representing our share of GMH’s fourth quarter results, net of adjustments to restate its first three quarters of 2005, and (ii) $109,000 of net income for our share of GMH’s 2006 earnings through June 30, 2006. |
| (4) | Includes our equity in net earnings of partially owned entities including, partially owned office buildings in New York and Washington, DC, the Monmouth Mall, Dune Capital LP, Verde Group LLC, and others. |
| (5) | Includes $2,173 for a prepayment penalty from the Monmouth Mall venture in August 2005 upon the repayment of our initial preferred equity investment. |

Interest and Other Investment Income
Interest and other investment income (mark-to-market of derivative positions, interest income on mortgage loans receivable, other interest income and dividend income) was $137,194,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $135,458,000 in the prior year’s nine months, an increase of $1,736,000. This increase resulted primarily from:

Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense was $340,463,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $249,131,000 in the prior year’s nine months, an increase of $91,332,000. This increase was primarily due to (i) $54,500,000 from a $2.0 billion increase in outstanding debt due to property acquisitions and refinancings, (ii) $16,300,000 from a 198 basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate on variable rate of debt, (iii) $8,800,000 from the February 16, 2006 issuance of $250,000,000 unsecured notes due 2011, (iv) $15,596,000 for the cost of mortgage loan defeasances and the write-off of unamortized finance costs, partially offset by, (v) $4,300,000 of an increase in the amount of capitalized interest relating to a larger amount of assets under development this year.
Net Gain on Disposition of Wholly-Owned and Partially-Owned Assets Other than Depreciable Real Estate
Net gain on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate was $65,527,000 and $16,936,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and consists primarily of net gains on sales of marketable equity securities. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes a $1,469,000 net gain on sale of a land parcel.
Minority Interest of Partially-Owned Entities
Minority interest of partially owned entities represents the minority partners’ pro rata share of the net income or loss of consolidated partially owned entities, including Americold, 220 Central Park South, Wasserman and the Springfield Mall. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the minority interests’ share of net losses of consolidated partially owned entities was $5,378,000 and $962,000, respectively. The increase of $4,416,000 over the prior year relates primarily to a reduction in Americold’s minority interest expense as a result of lower net income and the acquisition of 220 Central Park South in August of 2005, which is currently under development.

Income From Discontinued Operations
The combined results of operations of the assets related to discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 include the operating results of Vineland, New Jersey; 33 North Dearborn Street in Chicago, Illinois, which was sold on March 14, 2006; 424 Sixth Avenue in New York City, which was sold on March 13, 2006 and 1919 South Eads Street in Arlington, Virginia, which was sold on June 22, 2006.

Minority Limited Partners’ Interest in the Operating Partnership
Minority limited partners’ interest in the Operating Partnership was $46,301,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $54,512,000 for the prior year’s nine months, a decrease of $8,211,000. This decrease results primarily from lower net income subject to allocation to the minority limited partners.
Perpetual Preferred Unit Distributions of the Operating Partnership
Perpetual preferred unit distributions of the Operating Partnership were $17,030,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $60,908,000 for the prior year’s nine months, a decrease of $43,878,000. This decrease resulted primarily from the redemption of the D-3, D-4, D-5, D-6, D-7, and D-8 perpetual preferred units in 2005, partially offset by the issuance of the D-14 units in September 2005 and the D-15 units May and August 2006.
Preferred Share Dividends
Preferred share dividends were $43,162,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $32,290,000 for the prior year’s nine months, an increase of $10,872,000. This increase resulted primarily from dividends paid on the 6.75% Series H and 6.625% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares which were issued in June 2005 and August 2005, respectively, partially offset by a $3,852,000 write-off of issuance costs in the first quarter of 2005 related to the redemption of the Series C preferred shares.

(1) | Represents the increase (decrease) in property-level operations which were owned for the same period in each year and excludes the effect of property acquisitions, dispositions and other non-operating items that affect comparability, including divisional general and administrative expenses. Beginning on January 1, 2006, we have revised our definition of same store operations to exclude divisional general and administrative expenses. We utilize this measure to make decisions on whether to buy or sell properties as well as to compare the performance of our properties to that of our peers. Same store operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. |

Our cash and cash equivalents was $386,882,000 at September 30, 2006, a $92,378,000 increase over the balance at December 31, 2005.

_____________________________
| (1) | Represents the increase (decrease) in property-level operations which were owned for the same period in each year and excludes the effect of property acquisitions, dispositions and other non-operating items that affect comparability, including divisional general and administrative expenses. Beginning on January 1, 2006, we have revised our definition of same store operations to exclude divisional general and administrative expenses. We utilize this measure to make decisions on whether to buy or sell properties as well as to compare the performance of our properties to that of our peers. Same store operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. |
| (2) | These decreases reflect seasonal increases in utility costs in the third quarter, of which $3,962 relates to the New York portfolio and $2,645 relates to the Washington DC portfolio. The same store operations exclusive of the seasonal increases in utilities increased by 3.7% for the New York portfolio and by 1.5% for the Washington, DC portfolio. |
| (3) | Results primarily from seasonality of operations. |

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“FFO”)
FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and industry analysts as supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs. FFO and FFO per diluted share should be evaluated along with GAAP net income and income per diluted share (the most directly comparable GAAP measures), as well as cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, in evaluating the operating performance of equity REITs. We believe that FFO and FFO per diluted share are helpful to investors as supplemental performance measures because these measures exclude the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs.
FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as disclosed in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of income per share are disclosed in footnote 13 - Income Per Share, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements on page 28 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

FFO for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006, and 2005
FFO applicable to common shares plus assumed conversions was $204,535,000, or $1.31 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $93,272,000, or $0.65 per diluted share for the prior year’s quarter. FFO applicable to common shares plus conversions was $646,881,000, or $4.17 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $563,377,000, or $3.95 per diluted share for the prior year’s nine months. Details of certain items that affect comparability are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Our exposure to a change in interest rates on our consolidated and non-consolidated debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:

_____________________________________
(1) | Includes $497,977 for our senior unsecured notes due 2007, as we entered into an interest rate swap that effectively converted the interest rate from a fixed rate of 5.625% to a floating rate of LIBOR plus 0.7725%, based upon the trailing three month LIBOR rate (6.14% if set on September 30, 2006). In accordance with SFAS No. 133, as amended, we are required to record the fair value of this derivative instrument at each reporting period. At September 30, 2006, the fair value adjustment was a reduction of $1,531, and is included in the balance of the senior unsecured notes above. |
We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. In addition, we have notes and mortgage loans receivables aggregating $269,047,000, as of September 30, 2006, which are based on variable rates and partially mitigate our exposure to a change in interest rates.
Fair Value of Our Debt
The carrying amount of our debt exceeds its aggregate fair value, based on discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt, by approximately $349,481,000 at September 30, 2006.
Derivative Instruments
We have, and may in the future enter into, derivative positions that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, including an economic interest in McDonalds common shares. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we settled our derivative position in the common shares of Sears Holdings and exercised our warrants to purchase common shares of GMH Communities Trust. Because these derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from their mark-to-market at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statements of income. In addition, we are, and may in the future be, subject to additional expense based on the notional amount of the derivative positions and a specified spread over LIBOR. Because the market value of these instruments can vary significantly between periods, we may experience significant fluctuations in the amount of our investment income or expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized net gains aggregating approximately $70,687,000 and $65,589,000, respectively, from these positions.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2006, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. | OTHER INFORMATION |
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters, including the matters referred to below, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The following updates the discussion set forth under “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Stop & Shop
On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming the Company has no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, froze the Company’s right to re-allocate which effectively terminated the Company’s right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop. On March 3, 2003, after the Company moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint. On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. The Company removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In January 2005 that court remanded the action to the New York Supreme Court. On February 14, 2005, the Company served an answer in which it asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect. On May 17, 2005, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed the Company’s motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its decision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties have appealed the Court’s decision and oral argument is expected to occur during November 2006. The Company intends to pursue its claims against Stop & Shop vigorously.
H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”)
On July 22, 2005, two corporations owned 50% by H Street filed a complaint against the Company, H Street and three parties affiliated with the sellers of H Street in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia alleging that we encouraged H Street and the affiliated parties to breach their fiduciary duties to these corporations and interfered with prospective business and contractual relationships. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages and a rescission of our acquisition of H Street. On September 12, 2005, we filed a complaint against each of those corporations and their acting directors seeking a restoration of H Street’s full shareholder rights and damages. In addition, on July 29, 2005, a tenant under ground leases for which one of these 50%-owned corporations is landlord brought a separate suit in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, alleging, among other things, that the acquisition of H Street violated a provision giving them a right of first offer and seeks rescission of our acquisition, the right to acquire H Street for the price paid by us and/or damages. On July 14, 2006, we filed a counterclaim against the tenant asserting that the tenant and the other owner of the 50%-owned ground landlord deliberately excluded H Street from negotiating and executing a purported amendment to the agreement to lease when H Street’s consent and execution was required and, consequently, that the amended agreement and the related ground leases are invalid, the tenant is in default under the ground leases and the ground leases are void and without any effect. These legal actions are currently in the discovery stage. The Company believes that the actions filed against the Company are without merit and that the Company will ultimately be successful in defending against them.
