1. | Organization |
Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) 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”). Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 90.4% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2009. All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.
Substantially all of Vornado’s assets are held through subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, Vornado’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 (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and 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, 2008, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado and 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. 04-5. All significant inter-company amounts have been eliminated. Equity interests in partially owned entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting if they do not meet the criteria for consolidation and we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the company. Generally an ownership interest of 20% or more is sufficient to demonstrate the ability to exercise significant influence. 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.
On January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Staff Position APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP 14-1”). FSP 14-1 was required to be applied retrospectively. Accordingly, net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 has been adjusted to include $8,400,000 of additional interest expense, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. In addition, in accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“SFAS 128”), we have included 2,762,000 additional common shares resulting from the March 12, 2009 common share dividend in the computation of income per share retroactively to the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Furthermore, certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation as a result of the adoption of FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”).

3. | Recently Issued Accounting Literature |
On January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP 14-1, which was required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of FSP 14-1 affected the accounting for our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures by requiring the initial proceeds from their sale to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that results in interest expense on the debt component at our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the date of issue. The initial debt components of our $1.4 billion Convertible Senior Debentures, $1 billion Convertible Senior Debentures and $500 million Exchangeable Senior Debentures were $1,241,286,000, $926,361,000 and $457,699,000, respectively, based on the fair value of similar nonconvertible instruments issued. The aggregate initial debt discount of $212,395,000 after original issuance costs allocated to the equity component was recorded in “additional capital” as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in our consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. We are amortizing the discount using the effective interest method over the period the debt is expected to remain outstanding (i.e., the earliest date the holders may require us to repurchase the debentures), as additional interest expense. Accordingly, interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 has been adjusted to include $9,300,000 of amortization in the aggregate, or $8,400,000, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. Amortization for periods prior to December 31, 2007 (not presented herein) aggregating $35,552,000 have been reflected as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in “earnings in excess of (less than) distributions” on our consolidated statement of changes in equity. Below is a summary of the financial statement effects of implementing FSP 14-1 and related disclosures.

(1) | In accordance with FSP 14-1, we are required to disclose the conversion price and the number of shares on which the aggregate consideration to be delivered upon conversion is determined (principal plus excess value.) Our convertible senior debentures require the entire principal amount to be settled in cash, and at our option, any excess value above the principal amount may be settled in cash or common shares. Based on the March 31, 2009 closing share price of our common shares and the conversion prices in the table above, there was no excess value; accordingly, no common shares would be issued if these securities were settled on this date. The number of common shares on which the aggregate consideration to be delivered upon conversion is 8,694 and 6,589 common shares, respectively. |

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R broadens the guidance of SFAS 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It also broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations; and acquisition related costs will generally be expensed rather than included as part of the basis of the acquisition. SFAS 141R expands required disclosures to improve the ability to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141R became effective for all transactions entered into on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 141R on January 1, 2009 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160. SFAS 160 requires a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary to be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest to be identified in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS 160 became effective on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009, resulted in (i) the reclassification of minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries, a component of permanent equity on our consolidated balance sheets, (ii) the reclassification of minority interest expense to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, on our consolidated statements of income, and (iii) additional disclosures, including a consolidated statement of changes in equity in quarterly reporting periods.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures related to derivative instruments and hedging activities, including disclosures regarding how an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133, and the impact of derivative instruments and related hedged items on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 became effective on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. EITF 07-5 is effective on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009, did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Investments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (“FSP 03-6-1”). FSP 03-6-1 requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as “participating securities” and include such securities in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method as described in FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“SFAS 128”). FSP 03-6-1 became effective on January 1, 2009 and required all prior period earnings per share data presented, to be adjusted retroactively. The adoption of FSP 03-6-1 on January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on our computation of income per share.

4. | Fair Value Measurements |
FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in our consolidated financial statements consist primarily of (i) marketable securities and (ii) the assets of our deferred compensation plan (primarily marketable securities and equity investments in limited partnerships), for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheets. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2009 are presented in the table below based on their level in the fair value hierarchy.

Toys “R” Us (“Toys”)
As of March 31, 2009, we own 32.7% of Toys. We account for our investment in Toys under the equity method and record our 32.7% share of Toys income of loss on a one-quarter lag basis because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, and our fiscal year ends on December 31. The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income. As of March 31, 2009, the carrying amount of our investment in Toys does not differ materially from our share of the equity in the net assets of the parent company.

Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander���s”) (NYSE: ALX)
As of March 31, 2009, we own 32.4% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander’s. We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements, which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable. As of March 31, 2009, Alexander’s owed us $44,130,000 in fees under these agreements.
Based on Alexander’s March 31, 2009 closing share price of $170.38, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to SFAS 157) of our investment in Alexander’s is $281,820,000, or $129,919,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.
As of March 31, 2009, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $35,874,000. The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common shares acquired over the book value of Alexander’s net assets. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Alexander’s assets and liabilities, to their real estate (land and building). We are writing-off the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives. This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income or loss. The basis difference related to the land is not being written-off and will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP)
As of March 31, 2009, we own 16,149,592 Lexington common shares, or approximately 16.1% of Lexington common equity. Pursuant to the guidance in APB Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, we account for our investment in Lexington under the equity method because we believe we have the ability to exercise significant influence over Lexington’s operating and financial policies, based on, among other factors, our representation on Lexington’s Board of Trustees and the level of our ownership in Lexington as compared to that of other shareholders. We record our pro rata share of Lexington’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements.
As of March 31, 2009, the carrying amount of our investment in Lexington was less than our share of the equity in the net assets of Lexington by approximately $148,000,000. This basis difference resulted primarily from $107,882,000 of non-cash impairment charges we recognized in 2008 based on our conclusion that the decline in the value of Lexington’s common shares was “other-than-temporary.” The remainder of the basis difference related to purchase accounting for our acquisition of an additional 8,000,000 common shares of Lexington in October 2008, of which the majority relates to our estimate of the fair values of Lexington’s real estate (land and building) as compared to their carrying amounts in Lexington’s consolidated financial statements. We are writing-off the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives. This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in Lexington’s net income or loss. The basis difference attributable to the land is not written-off and will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.
Based on Lexington’s March 31, 2009 closing share price of $2.38, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to SFAS 157) of our investment in Lexington was $38,436,000, or $39,274,000 below the carrying amount of $77,710,000, or $4.81 per share, on our consolidated balance sheet. We have concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, the decline in the value of our investment in Lexington is not “other-than-temporary.”
The following is a summary of Lexington’s financial information as of December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008 and for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Notes to preceding tabular information (Amounts in thousands):
| (1) | Represents the extended maturity for certain loans in which we have the unilateral right, ability and intent to extend. In the case of our convertible and exchangeable debt, represents the earliest date holders may require us to repurchase the debentures. |
| (2) | In the first quarter of 2009, we repaid $47,000 of this debt for $46,231 in cash. |
| (3) | This loan bears interest at the Freddie Mac Reference Note Rate plus 1.53%. |
| (4) | In the first quarter of 2009, we purchased $81,534 (aggregate face amount) of our senior unsecured notes for $75,977 in cash, resulting in a $5,136 net gain which is included as a component of “interest expense” on our consolidated statement of income. |
10. | Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests |
Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets represent Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are comprised of (i) Class A units, (ii) Series B convertible preferred units, and (iii) Series D-10, D-11, D-12, D-14 and D-15 (collectively, “Series D”) cumulative redeemable preferred units. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are accounted for in accordance with EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, and are presented at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” on our consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the aggregate value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests was $907,309,000 and $1,177,978,000, respectively.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests exclude our Series G convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Investments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares. Accordingly the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $56,652,000 and $83,079,000 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

11. | Income Per Share |
Income per share is computed in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 128. In January 2009, we adopted the provisions of FSP 03-6-1, which required us to include unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as “participating securities” in the computation of basic and diluted income per share pursuant to the two-class method as described in SFAS 128. The adoption of FSP 03-6-1 did not have a material effect on our computation of income per share.
On March 12, 2009, we paid a regular quarterly dividend of $0.95 per share, consisting of approximately $59,000,000 in cash and 2,762,000 common shares priced at $32.07 per share. In accordance with SFAS 128, we have included the 2,762,000 common shares in the computation of basic and diluted income per share retroactively for all periods presented.
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, exchangeable senior debentures due 2025 as well as Operating Partnership convertible preferred units.

Stock based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 consists of stock option awards, restricted common shares, Operating Partnership unit awards and out-performance plan awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $10,249,000 and $8,075,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively.
On March 31, 2009, our nine most senior executives voluntarily surrendered their 2007 and 2008 stock option awards and their 2008 out-performance plan awards. Accordingly, we recognized $32,588,000 of expense in the first quarter of 2009 representing the unamortized portion of these awards, which is included as a component of “general and administrative” expense on our consolidated statement of income. As a result of these voluntary surrenders, stock-based compensation expense will be approximately $7,000,000 lower for the remainder of 2009 and $9,400,000, $9,400,000, $5,700,000 and $1,000,000 lower for 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Insurance
We carry commercial liability and all risk property insurance ((i) fire, (ii) flood, (iii) extended coverage, (iv) “acts of terrorism” as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (“TRIPRA”), which expires in December 2014, and (v) rental loss insurance) with respect to our assets. Our New York Office, Washington, DC Office, Retail and Merchandise Mart divisions have $2.0 billion of per occurrence all risk property insurance coverage in effect through September 15, 2009. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $150,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, and a $150,000,000 annual aggregate.
Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by TRIPRA. Coverage for acts of terrorism is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. Our coverage for NBCR losses is up to $2 billion, per occurrence, for which PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $3,200,000 and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss borne by PPIC.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years.
Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties (which are generally non-recourse to us), senior unsecured notes, exchangeable senior debentures, convertible senior debentures and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of 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 it could adversely affect our ability to finance and/or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.
Other Contractual Obligations
At March 31, 2009, there were $44,565,000 of outstanding letters of credit under our $965,000,000 revolving credit facility. Our credit facilities and our senior unsecured notes contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our credit facilities and our senior unsecured notes also 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 items such as the failure to pay interest or principal.
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 to us.
We are committed to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $205,917,000. Of this amount, $80,923,000 is committed to the India Property Fund and is pledged as collateral to its lender.
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 we cannot quantify.

15. | Commitments and Contingencies - continued |
We are from time to time involved in various other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters in the aggregate, 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.
On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming that we had 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 our right to reallocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop. On March 3, 2003, after we 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. We 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, we served an answer in which we 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, 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 appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision. On January 16, 2007, we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007. We are currently engaged in discovery and anticipate that a trial date will be set for some time in 2009. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop. 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 flows.
On May 24, 2007, we acquired a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas and the 555 California Street complex. Our 70% interest was acquired through the purchase of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies that own, through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and a 69% limited partnership interest in the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump. In August 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the partnerships referred to above. Mr. Trump’s claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of and use of proceeds from, the sale of properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in Manhattan which were formerly owned by the partnerships. In decisions dated September 14, 2005 and July 24, 2006, the Court denied several of Mr. Trump’s motions and ultimately dismissed all of Mr. Trump’s claims, except for his claim seeking access to books and records; that claim was dismissed by virtue of a decision dated October 1, 2007 and an Order dated January 28, 2009. Mr. Trump sought re-argument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with the 2006 decision. In a decision dated January 6, 2009, the Court denied all of Mr. Trump’s motions. Mr. Trump has filed a notice appealing the 2007 and 2009 decisions. Mr. Trump’s appeals of the 2006, 2007 and 2009 decisions are now proceeding. In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to indemnify the sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trump’s claim that the general partners of the partnerships we acquired did not sell the rail yards at a fair price or could have sold the rail yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted in the legal action; provided however, that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, the sellers will be required to reimburse us for certain costs related to those claims. We believe that the claims relating to the sale price are without merit. All other allegations are not asserted as a basis for damages and regardless of merit, in our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2005, we acquired H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”) which has a subsidiary that owns, among other things, a 50% tenancy in common interest in land located in Arlington County, Virginia, known as "Pentagon Row," leased to two tenants. In April 2007, H Street acquired the remaining 50% interest in that fee. In April 2007, we received letters from those tenants, Street Retail, Inc. and Post Apartment Homes, L.P., claiming they had a right of first offer triggered by each of those transactions. On September 25, 2008, both tenants filed suit against us and the former owners. The claim alleges the right to purchase the fee interest, damages in excess of $75,000,000 and punitive damages. We believe this claim is without merit and regardless of merit, in our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

16. | Retirement Plan |
In the first quarter of 2009, we finalized the termination of the Merchandise Mart Properties Pension Plan, which resulted in a $2,800,000 pension settlement expense that is included as a component of “general and administrative” expense on our consolidated statement of income.
17. | Costs of Acquisitions Not Consummated |
In the first quarter of 2008, we wrote-off $2,283,000 of costs associated with the Hudson Rail Yards acquisition not consummated.
18. | Marketable Securities |
At March 31, 2009, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to SFAS 157) of our marketable equity securities portfolio was $41,362,000 below its carrying amount. We have concluded that the decline in the value of the securities in our portfolio as of March 31, 2009, is not “other-than-temporary.” In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we concluded that an investment in a marketable equity security was “other-than-temporarily” impaired and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $9,073,000, based on the March 31, 2008 closing share price of the security.
19. | Subsequent Events |
On April 7, 2009, we completed a $75,000,000 financing of 4 Union Square South, Manhattan, a 203,000 square foot, fully-leased retail property. This interest-only loan has a rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% (3.78% as of April 22, 2009) and matures in April 2012, with two one-year extension options. The property was previously unencumbered.
On April 22, 2009, we sold 17,250,000 common shares, including underwriters’ over-allotment, in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement at an initial public offering price of $43.00 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $709,700,000, after the underwriters’ discount and offering expenses and contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 17,250,000 Class A units of the Operating Partnership.
On April 30, 2009, the Operating Partnership commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its senior unsecured notes dues 2009, 2010 and 2011. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer, we are offering to purchase the senior unsecured notes due 2009 at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest and the senior unsecured notes due 2010 and 2011 at a purchase price of $970 per $1,000 in principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The tender offer expires on May 7, 2009.

| (1) | EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered 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 (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the 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 the 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.
As discussed in Note 2 and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2009 the Company changed its method of accounting for its convertible and exchangeable senior debentures to conform to FASB Staff Position APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) and adopted FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements and, retrospectively, adjusted the 2008 consolidated financial statements for the changes.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended prior to retrospective adjustments for the adoption of FASB Staff Position APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) and FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 24, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 3 that were applied to retrospectively adjust the December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (not presented herein). In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied to the previously issued consolidated balance sheet in deriving the accompanying retrospectively adjusted consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008.

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 represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. 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 other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. 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. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009. 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, 2008 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2009.
Overview
Business Objective and Operating Strategy
Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value, which we measure by the total return provided to our shareholders. Below is a table comparing our performance to the Morgan Stanley REIT Index (“RMS”) and the SNL REIT Index (“SNL”) for the following periods ending March 31, 2009:
|

| 49.4% |
_________________________
| (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; and |
| • | Developing and redeveloping our existing properties to increase returns and maximize value. |
We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from possible asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets.
We have a large concentration of properties in the New York City metropolitan area and in the Washington, DC and Northern Virginia areas. We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and breadth and quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national, regional 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. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, for additional information regarding these factors.
Overview – continued
In the second half of 2007 the residential mortgage and capital markets began showing signs of stress, primarily in the form of escalating default rates on sub-prime mortgages, declining home values and increasing inventory nationwide. In 2008, the “credit crisis” spread to the broader commercial credit and financial markets resulting in illiquidity and volatility in the bond and equity markets. These trends have continued in the first quarter of 2009. We are currently in an economic recession which has negatively affected substantially all businesses, including ours. During the past year, real estate transactions have diminished significantly and capitalization rates have risen. The commercial real estate industry may continue to be affected by declining demand for office and retail space due to bankruptcies, layoffs, downsizing, cost cutting as well as general economic conditions, which would result in lower occupancy rates and effective rents and a corresponding decrease in net income, funds from operations and cash flow. In addition, the value of investments in joint ventures, marketable securities, and mezzanine loans may continue to decline, and may result in impairment charges and/or valuation allowances and a corresponding decrease in net income and funds from operations.
The trends discussed above have had an impact on our financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. As shown in our table of leasing statistics by segment on page 36 of this “Overview,” changes in occupancy rates from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009 ranged from a decrease of 80 basis points for our New York Office portfolio to an increase of 20 basis points for our Washington, DC Office portfolio. Initial rents on space re-leased during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 exceeded expiring escalated rents, although at spreads significantly below increases achieved during 2008. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, retail tenant delinquencies have risen and our allowance for doubtful accounts has increased accordingly. At March 31, 2009, the market values of our investment in Lexington Realty Trust (NYSE: LXP) common shares and our marketable securities portfolio were $39,274,000 and $41,362,000, respectively, below their carrying amounts. We have concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, the declines in the value of these investments were not “other-than-temporary.” It is not possible for us to quantify the impact of the above trends, which may persist for the remainder of 2009 and beyond, on our future financial results.
Overview – continued
Quarter Ended March 31, 2009 Financial Results Summary
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $125,841,000, or $0.79 per diluted share, versus $389,563,000, or $2.38 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 include $173,000 and $6,002,000, respectively, of net gains on sale of real estate. In addition, net income for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 also include certain items that affect comparability which are listed in the table below. The aggregate of the net gains on sale of real estate and the items in the table below, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, decreased net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 by $15,689,000, or $0.10 per diluted share and increased net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 by $258,314,000, or $1.55 per diluted share.
Funds from operations attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions (“FFO”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $268,582,000, or $1.63 per diluted share, compared to $527,880,000, or $3.17 per diluted share, for the prior year’s quarter. FFO for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 include certain items that affect comparability which are listed in the table below.

On January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Staff Position APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP 14-1”). FSP 14-1 was required to be applied retrospectively. Accordingly, net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 has been adjusted to include $8,400,000 of additional interest expense, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. In addition, in accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“SFAS 128), we have included 2,762,000 additional common shares resulting from the March 12, 2009 common share dividend, in the computation of income per share retroactively to the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Overview – continued
During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we did not recognize income on certain assets with an aggregate carrying amount of approximately $900 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, because they were out of service for redevelopment, although we capitalized $4,716,000 of interest costs in connection with the development of these assets. Assets under development include all or portions of the Bergen Town Center, 220 20th Street, 1229-1231 25th Street (“West End 25”), and certain investments in partially owned entities.
The percentage increase (decrease) in the same store Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) of our operating segments for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 over the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2008 are summarized below.

On April 7, 2009, we completed a $75,000,000 financing of 4 Union Square South, Manhattan, a 203,000 square foot, fully-leased retail property. This interest-only loan has a rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% (3.78% as of April 22, 2009) and matures in April 2012, with two one-year extension options. The property was previously unencumbered.
On April 22, 2009, we sold 17,250,000 common shares, including underwriters’ over-allotment, in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement at an initial public offering price of $43.00 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $709,700,000, after the underwriters’ discount and offering expenses and contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 17,250,000 Class A units of the Operating Partnership.
On April 30, 2009, the Operating Partnership commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its senior unsecured notes dues 2009, 2010 and 2011. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer, we are offering to purchase the senior unsecured notes due 2009 at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest and the senior unsecured notes due 2010 and 2011 at a purchase price of $970 per $1,000 in principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The tender offer expires on May 7, 2009.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature
On January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP 14-1, which was required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of FSP 14-1 affected the accounting for our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures by requiring the initial proceeds from their sale to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that results in interest expense on the debt component at our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the date of issue. The initial debt components of our $1.4 billion Convertible Senior Debentures, $1 billion Convertible Senior Debentures and $500 million Exchangeable Senior Debentures were $1,241,286,000, $926,361,000 and $457,699,000, respectively, based on the fair value of similar nonconvertible instruments issued. The aggregate initial debt discount of $212,395,000 after original issuance costs allocated to the equity component was recorded in “additional capital” as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in our consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. We are amortizing the discount using the effective interest method over the period the debt is expected to remain outstanding (i.e., the earliest date the holders may require us to repurchase the debentures), as additional interest expense. Accordingly, interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 has been adjusted to include $9,300,000 of amortization in the aggregate, or $8,400,000, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. Amortization for periods prior to December 31, 2007 (not presented herein) aggregating $35,552,000 have been reflected as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in “earnings in excess of (less than) distributions” on our consolidated statement of changes in equity. Below is a summary of the financial statement effects of implementing FSP 14-1 and related disclosures.

__________________
(1) | In accordance with FSP 14-1, we are required to disclose the conversion price and the number of shares on which the aggregate consideration to be delivered upon conversion is determined (principal plus excess value.) Our convertible senior debentures require the entire principal amount to be settled in cash, and at our option, any excess value above the principal amount may be settled in cash or common shares. Based on the March 31, 2009 closing share price of our common shares and the conversion prices in the table above, there was no excess value; accordingly, no common shares would be issued if these securities were settled on this date. The number of common shares on which the aggregate consideration to be delivered upon conversion is 8,694 and 6,589 common shares, respectively. |
Recently Issued Accounting Literature – continued
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R broadens the guidance of SFAS 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It also broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations; and acquisition related costs will generally be expensed rather than included as part of the basis of the acquisition. SFAS 141R expands required disclosures to improve the ability to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141R became effective for all transactions entered into on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 141R on January 1, 2009 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160. SFAS 160 requires a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary to be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest to be identified in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS 160 became effective on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009, resulted in (i) the reclassification of minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries, a component of permanent equity on our consolidated balance sheets, (ii) the reclassification of minority interest expense to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, on our consolidated statements of income, and (iii) additional disclosures, including a consolidated statement of changes in equity in quarterly reporting periods.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures related to derivative instruments and hedging activities, including disclosures regarding how an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133, and the impact of derivative instruments and related hedged items on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 became effective on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. EITF 07-5 is effective on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009, did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Investments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (“FSP 03-6-1”). FSP 03-6-1 requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as “participating securities” and include such securities in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method as described in FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“SFAS 128”). FSP 03-6-1 became effective on January 1, 2009 and required all prior period earnings per share data presented, to be adjusted retroactively. The adoption of FSP 03-6-1 on January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on our computation of income per share.

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 - continued
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 unlevered 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) | Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax (benefit) expense in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities. |
(3) | Other EBITDA is comprised of: |

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests, Including Unit Distributions
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is comprised of allocations to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $16,821,000 and $46,316,000, respectively, and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries of $500,000 and $406,000, respectively.

Same Store EBITDA
Same store EBITDA represents EBITDA from property level operations owned for the same period in each year. Same store EBITDA excludes segment non-property level overhead expenses and EBITDA from acquisitions, dispositions and other non-operating income or 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 those of our peers. Same store EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 vs. Three Months Ended December 31, 2008
Our revenues and expenses are subject to seasonality during the year which impacts quarter-by-quarter net earnings, cash flows and funds from operations. The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income, which we record on a one-quarter lag basis in our first quarter, accounts for more than 80% of Toys’ fiscal year net income. The Office and Merchandise Mart segments have historically experienced higher utility costs in the first and third quarters of the year. The Merchandise Mart segment also has experienced higher earnings in the second and fourth quarters of the year due to major trade shows occurring in those quarters. The Retail segment revenue in the fourth quarter is typically higher due to the recognition of percentage rental income.
Below are the same store EBITDA results for each of our segments for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures. Capital requirements for significant acquisitions and development expenditures may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings. We may from time to time purchase or retire outstanding debt securities though cash purchases and/or exchanges for our equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases and/or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
Our cash and cash equivalents were $1,625,450,000 at March 31, 2009, a $98,597,000 increase over the balance at December 31, 2008. This increase resulted from $169,812,000 of net cash provided by operating activities and $107,211,000 of net cash provided by financing activities, partially offset by $178,426,000 of net cash used in investing activities. Property rental income represents our primary source of net cash provided by operating activities. Our property rental income is primarily dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans and corporate level unsecured borrowings; our revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity; and asset sales. Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, distributions to our common and preferred shareholders, as well as acquisition and development costs.
Our consolidated outstanding debt was $12,731,830,000 at March 31, 2009, a $220,160,000 increase over the balance at December 31, 2008. This increase resulted primarily from $300,000,000 of draws under our revolving credit facilities during the first quarter, partially offset by the $81,534,000 purchase of our senior unsecured notes and $47,000,000 of repayments on our cross-collateralized retail mortgage. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $658,468,000 and $358,468,000 respectively, was outstanding under our revolving credit facilities. During 2009 and 2010, $439,853,000 and $1,038,792,000 of our outstanding debt matures, respectively. We may refinance such debt or choose to repay all or a portion, using existing cash balances or our revolving credit facilities.
Our share of debt of unconsolidated subsidiaries was $2,999,693,000 at March 31, 2009, a $196,892,000 decrease from the balance at December 31, 2008.
Cash flows provided by operating activities of $169,812,000 was primarily comprised of (i) net income of $156,431,000, net of $29,526,000 of non-cash adjustments, including depreciation and amortization expense, the effect of straight-lining of rental income, equity in net income of partially owned entities, (ii) distributions of income from partially owned entities of $8,381,000, and (iii) the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $24,526,000.
Net cash used in investing activities of $178,426,000 was primarily comprised of (i) development and redevelopment expenditures of $132,529,000, (ii) additions to real estate of $38,916,000, (iii) restricted cash of $27,298,000, (iv) investments in partially owned entities of $9,582,000 and (v) purchases of marketable equity securities of $9,882,000, partially offset by (vi) proceeds from the sale of real estate of $20,858,000, (vii) proceeds from the sale of marketable equity securities of $7,835,000 and (viii) distributions of capital from partially owned entities of $7,504,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $107,211,000 was primarily comprised of (i) proceeds from borrowings of $353,856,000, partially offset by, (ii) repayments of borrowings, including the purchase of our senior unsecured notes, of $138,291,000, (iii) dividends paid on common shares of $59,115,000, (iv) distributions to noncontrolling interests of $10,514,000 and (v) dividends paid on preferred shares of $14,269,000.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures consist of expenditures to maintain assets, tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions. Recurring capital improvements include expenditures to maintain a property’s competitive position within the market and tenant improvements and leasing commissions necessary to re-lease expiring leases or renew or extend existing leases. Non-recurring capital improvements include expenditures completed in the year of acquisition and the following two years that were planned at the time of acquisition as well as tenant improvements and leasing commissions for space that was vacant at the time of acquisition of a property. Our development and redevelopment expenditures include all hard and soft costs associated with the development or redevelopment of a property, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capitalized interest and operating costs until the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

Insurance
We carry commercial liability and all risk property insurance ((i) fire, (ii) flood, (iii) extended coverage, (iv) “acts of terrorism” as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (“TRIPRA”), which expires in December 2014, and (v) rental loss insurance) with respect to our assets. Our New York Office, Washington, DC Office, Retail and Merchandise Mart divisions have $2.0 billion of per occurrence all risk property insurance coverage in effect through September 15, 2009. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $150,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, and a $150,000,000 annual aggregate.
Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by TRIPRA. Coverage for acts of terrorism is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. Our coverage for NBCR losses is up to $2 billion, per occurrence, for which PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $3,200,000 and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss borne by PPIC.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years.
Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties (which are generally non-recourse to us), senior unsecured notes, exchangeable senior debentures, convertible senior debentures and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of 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 it could adversely affect our ability to finance and/or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.
Other Contractual Obligations
At March 31, 2009, there were $44,565,000 of outstanding letters of credit under our $965,000,000 revolving credit facility. Our credit facilities and senior unsecured notes contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our credit facilities and senior unsecured notes also 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 items such as the failure to pay interest or principal.
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 to us.
We are committed to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $205,917,000. Of this amount, $80,923,000 is committed to the India Property Fund and is pledged as collateral to its lender.
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 we cannot quantify.
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. Management believes 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 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 11 – Income Per Share, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements on page 22 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
FFO for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009, and 2008
FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $268,582,000, or $1.63 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $527,880,000, or $3.17 per diluted share for the prior year’s quarter. 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 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:

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. As of March 31, 2009, variable rate debt with an aggregate principal amount of $462,000,000 and a weighted average interest rate of 2.02% was subject to LIBOR caps. These caps are based on a notional amount of $462,000,000 and cap LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 5.93%. As of March 31, 2009, we have investments in mezzanine loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $95,752,000 that are based on variable interest rates which partially mitigate our exposure to a change in interest rates on our variable rate debt.
Fair Value of Debt
As of March 31, 2009, the carrying amount of our debt exceeded its aggregate fair value by approximately $1,316,339,000, based on current market prices and 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.
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 March 31, 2009, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are from time to time involved in various other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters in the aggregate, 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.
On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming that we had 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 our right to reallocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop. On March 3, 2003, after we 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. We 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, we served an answer in which we 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, 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 appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision. On January 16, 2007, we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007. We are currently engaged in discovery and anticipate that a trial date will be set for some time in 2009. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop. 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 flows.
On May 24, 2007, we acquired a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas and the 555 California Street complex. Our 70% interest was acquired through the purchase of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies that own, through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and a 69% limited partnership interest in the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump. In August 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the partnerships referred to above. Mr. Trump’s claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of and use of proceeds from, the sale of properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in Manhattan which were formerly owned by the partnerships. In decisions dated September 14, 2005 and July 24, 2006, the Court denied several of Mr. Trump’s motions and ultimately dismissed all of Mr. Trump’s claims, except for his claim seeking access to books and records; that claim was dismissed by virtue of a decision dated October 1, 2007 and an Order dated January 28, 2009. Mr. Trump sought re-argument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with the 2006 decision. In a decision dated January 6, 2009, the Court denied all of Mr. Trump’s motions. Mr. Trump has filed a notice appealing the 2007 and 2009 decisions. Mr. Trump’s appeals of the 2006, 2007 and 2009 decisions are now proceeding. In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to indemnify the sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trump’s claim that the general partners of the partnerships we acquired did not sell the rail yards at a fair price or could have sold the rail yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted in the legal action; provided however, that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, the sellers will be required to reimburse us for certain costs related to those claims. We believe that the claims relating to the sale price are without merit. All other allegations are not asserted as a basis for damages and regardless of merit, in our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2005, we acquired H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”) which has a subsidiary that owns, among other things, a 50% tenancy in common interest in land located in Arlington County, Virginia, known as "Pentagon Row," leased to two tenants. In April 2007, H Street acquired the remaining 50% interest in that fee. In April 2007, we received letters from those tenants, Street Retail, Inc. and Post Apartment Homes, L.P., claiming they had a right of first offer triggered by each of those transactions. On September 25, 2008, both tenants filed suit against us and the former owners. The claim alleges the right to purchase the fee interest, damages in excess of $75,000,000 and punitive damages. We believe this claim is without merit and regardless of merit, in our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
