VORNADO REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust. Vornado 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 81% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2003. All references to the “Company” and “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, 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 Vornado’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 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 subsidiary, Vornado Realty L.P., as well as entities in which the Company owns more than 50%, unless a partner has shared board and management representation and authority and substantive participation rights on all significant business decisions. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. Equity interests in partially-owned corporate entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when the Company’s ownership interest is more than 20%, but less than 50%. When partially-owned investments are in partnership form, the 20% threshold for equity method accounting may be reduced. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of the net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions to or from these entities. For all other investments, the Company uses the cost method.
Management has 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.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144 — Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, for all periods presented the Company reclassified its consolidated statements of income to reflect income and expenses for properties which are held for sale or sold during 2003 as discontinued operations, and reclassified assets and liabilities related to such properties as assets related to discontinued operations and liabilities related to discontinued operations on its consolidated balance sheets.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 – Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46”)
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46 – Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which requires the consolidation of an entity by an enterprise (i) if that enterprise, known as a “primary beneficiary,” will absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both and (ii) if the entity is a variable interest entity, as defined. An entity qualifies as a variable interest entity if (i) the total equity investment at risk in the entity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest in the entity. The initial determination of whether an entity qualifies as a variable interest entity shall be made as of the date at which a primary beneficiary becomes involved with the entity and reconsidered as of the date of a triggering event, as defined. On October 9, 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46-6, deferring the effective date until the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 for (i) interests held by public companies in variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003 and (ii) non registered investment companies. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FIN 46 will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 149 – Amendment of SFAS 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 – Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133 – Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 on July 1, 2003, had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 150 - Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 – Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities, certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. On October 29, 2003, the FASB deferred, indefinitely, the application of paragraphs 9 and 10 of SFAS No. 150 as it relates to mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries that would not be recorded as liabilities under SFAS No. 150 by such subsidiaries. The adoption of the remainder of SFAS No. 150 on July 1, 2003, had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
4. Acquisitions, Dispositions and Financings
Acquisitions
Upon acquisition of real estate, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The Company uses third party appraisers or methods similar to those used by third party appraisers such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information.
The fair value of the tangible assets (land, building and improvements) of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities for above and below market in-place leases is based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management’s estimate of the market lease rates measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above market (deferred charge) or below market (deferred credit) intangible is amortized to rental income over the non-cancelable term of the respective leases. The aggregate value of the other acquired identified intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, considers the difference between the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant and the estimated value of property as if occupied at the level it was on the date of acquisition, adjusted to market rental rates.
7
Management considers current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases in arriving at an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period in determining the value of in-place leases. In estimating carrying costs management includes real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses and estimates of lost revenue during the expected lease-up periods and costs to execute similar leases including commissions and other related costs. In estimating the value of tenant relationships management considers, among other factors, the nature and extent of the existing tenant relationship and the expectation of lease renewals, growth prospects and tenant credit quality. The value of the tenant relationship is amortized over the anticipated life of the relationship while the value of the in-place leases is amortized over the non-cancelable term of the acquired in-place leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off.
Building Maintenance Service Company (“BMS”)
On January 1, 2003, the Company acquired for $13,000,000 in cash BMS, which provides cleaning, security and engineering services to office properties, including the Company’s Manhattan office properties. This company was previously owned by the estate of Bernard Mendik and certain other individuals including Mr. David R. Greenbaum, one of the Company’s executive officers. This acquisition was recorded as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the operations of BMS are consolidated into the accounts of the Company beginning January 1, 2003.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, BMS revenues of $7,087,000 and $21,762,000 are included in fee and other income and BMS expenses of $4,647,000 and $15,171,000 are included in operating expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Kaempfer Company (“Kaempfer”)
On April 9, 2003, the Company acquired Kaempfer, which owns partial interests in six Class “A” office properties in Washington D.C., manages and leases these properties and four others for which it receives customary fees and has options to acquire certain other real estate interests, including 50% of Kaempfer’s 5% interest in the planned redevelopment of Waterfront, located at 401 M Street, a mixed-use project in Southwest Washington D.C. (the “Waterfront interest”). Kaempfer’s equity interest in the properties approximates 5.0%. The aggregate purchase price for the equity interests and the management and leasing business was $33,400,000 (consisting of $29,800,000 in cash and approximately 99,300 Vornado Realty L.P. partnership units valued at $3,600,000) and may be increased by up to $9,000,000 based on the performance of the management company. This acquisition was recorded as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the operations of Kaempfer are consolidated into the accounts of the Company beginning April 9, 2003.
The six Class “A” office buildings contain 1.8 million square feet and are as follows: the Warner Building located at 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue containing 600,000 square feet, the Investment Building located at 1501 K Street containing 380,000 square feet, the Commonwealth Tower located at 1300 Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn, VA, containing 343,000 square feet, the Bowen Building (under development) located at 875 15th Street containing 220,000 square feet, 1925 K Street containing 150,000 square feet, and the Executive Tower located at 1399 New York Avenue, containing 123,000 square feet. Kaempfer, which was founded in 1977 and has 65 employees, was combined with the Company’s Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty division (“CESCR”). Mitchell N. Schear, the President of Kaempfer, has become President of CESCR.
On October 7, 2003, the Company acquired the Waterfront interest described above for $2,000,000, of which the Company paid $1,545,000 in cash and issued 12,500 Vornado Realty L.P. partnership units valued at $455,000. The partnership units were issued to Mitchell N. Schear, one of the partners in the Waterfront interest, and the President of the Company’s CESCR division.
20 Broad Street
On May 2, 2003, the Company acquired the remaining 40% of a 78-year leasehold interest in 20 Broad Street it did not already own. The purchase price was approximately $30,000,000 in cash. 20 Broad Street contains 466,000 square feet of office space, of which 348,000 square feet is leased to the New York Stock Exchange. Prior to the acquisition of the remaining 40%, the Company consolidated the operations of this property and reflected the 40% interest that it did not own as a component of minority interest. Subsequent to this acquisition, the Company will no longer reflect the 40% minority interest.
8
2101 L Street
On August 4, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of 2101 L Street, a 370,000 square foot office building located in Washington D.C. The consideration for the acquisition consisted of approximately 1.1 million newly issued Vornado Realty L.P. partnership units (valued at approximately $49,517,000) and the assumption of existing mortgage debt and transaction costs totaling approximately $32,000,000. Mr. Robert H. Smith and Mr. Robert P. Kogod, trustees of Vornado, together with family members owned approximately 24 percent of the limited partnership that sold the building and Mr. Smith was a general partner. On August 5, 2003, the Company repaid the mortgage of $29,056,000.

(1) The Company converted its investment in Prime Group Realty L.P. into common shares of Prime Group Realty Trust on May 23, 2003. Accordingly, the investment is accounted for as a marketable security from that date forward.
Based on the Company’s ownership interest in the partially-owned entities above, the Company’s share of the debt of these partially-owned entities was $937,512,000 and $1,048,108,000 as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.
11
Temperature Controlled Logistics
Based on the joint venture’s policy of recognizing rental income when earned and collection is assured or cash is received, the Company did not recognize $8,416,000 and $19,518,000 of rent it was due for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and $6,808,000 and $12,361,000 of rent it was due for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, which together with previously deferred rent is $43,868,000.
On March 7, 2003, AmeriCold Logistics and the Landlord extended the deferred rent period to December 31, 2004 from December 31, 2003.
On March 28, 2003, a joint venture in which the Company has a 44% interest acquired $6,640,000 of trade receivables from AmeriCold Logistics for $6,500,000 in cash (a 2% discount). These receivables were collected in full during the second quarter of 2003.
Alexander’s
Alexander’s is managed by, and its properties are leased by, the Company pursuant to agreements with a one-year term expiring in March of each year which are automatically renewable. As of September 30, 2003, the Company has a receivable from Alexander’s of $18,821,000 under the management and development agreement.
At September 30, 2003, the Company had loans receivable from Alexander’s of $124,000,000, including $29,000,000 drawn under a $50,000,000 line of credit. The maturity date of the loan and the line of credit is the earlier of January 3, 2006, or the date the Alexander’s Lexington Avenue construction loan is repaid. The Company accrues interest at 12.48% on the loan and line of credit, which resets quarterly using the same spread to treasuries as previously existed with a 3% floor for treasuries. The Company believes that although Alexander’s has disclosed that it does not currently have positive cash flow sufficient to repay the loans receivable to the Company (although interest is currently being paid on the Company’s loans), Alexander’s will be able to repay the loans upon the successful development and permanent financing of its Lexington Avenue development project or through asset sales.
Equity in income from Alexander’s reflects Alexander’s stock appreciation rights compensation expense of which the Company’s share was $6,192,000 and $9,477,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, based on a closing Alexander’s stock price of $105.50 on September 30, 2003. In the three months ended September 30, 2002, Alexander’s reversed stock appreciation rights compensation expense recognized in the second quarter of 2002, of which the Company’s share was $1,402,000. The closing stock price of Alexander’s was $61.00 on September 30, 2002. In addition, in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, equity in income from Alexander’s includes $3,431,000 representing the Company’s share of Alexander’s gain on sale of its Third Avenue property.

Prime Group Realty L.P.
On June 11, 2003, the Company exercised its right to exchange the 3,972,447 units it owned in Prime Group Realty L.P. for 3,972,447 common shares in Prime Group Realty Trust (NYSE: PGE). Prior to the exchange, the Company accounted for its investment in the partnership on the equity method.
Subsequent to the exchange, the Company is accounting for its investment in PGE as a marketable equity security – available for sale, as the Company’s shares represent less than a 20% ownership interest in PGE (which is not a partnership), the Company does not have significant influence and the common shares have a readily determinable fair value. Accordingly, the carrying amount previously included in Investments and Advances to Partially-Owned Entities has been reclassified to Marketable Securities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2003. The Company is also required to mark-to-market these securities based on the closing price of the PGE shares on the NYSE at the end of each reporting period. For the period from June 11, 2003 through September 30, 2003, the Company recorded a $6,623,000 unrealized gain, which is not included in the Company’s net income, but is reflected as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Shareholders’ Equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. From the date of exchange, income recognition is limited to dividends received on the PGE shares.
On June 13, 2003, the Company received its $5,000,000 share of a settlement with affiliates of Primestone Investment Partners of the amounts due under the guarantees of the Primestone loans. In connection therewith, the Company recognized a $1,388,000 loss on settlement of the guarantees, which has been reflected as a component of “net gains on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
6. Notes and Mortgage Loans Receivable
On September 11, 2003, the Company made a loan of $7,300,000 to a non-affiliated holder of the Company’s Series C-1 convertible preferred and Class A operating partnership units. The loan is secured by the borrower’s units (valued at approximately $17,000,000 at September 30, 2003), bears interest at 3.0% per annum and matures on November 10, 2003.
On October 17, 2003, the Company made a $200,000,000 mezzanine loan secured by partnership interests in the General Motors Building. The Company’s loan is subordinate to $900,000,000 of other debt. The loan is based on a rate of LIBOR plus 8.69% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5%). The loan matures in October 2005, with three one-year extensions. Further, on October 30, 2003, the Company made an additional $25,000,000 loan, as part of a $50,000,000 loan, the balance of which was funded by an affiliate of Soros Fund Management LLC. This loan, which is junior to the $1,100,000,000 of loans noted above, is based on a rate of LIBOR plus 12.81% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5%). The loan will mature in October 2005, with three one-year extensions.

(1) On June 9, 2003, the Company completed a $170,000 mortgage financing of its 770 Broadway property. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.05%, is prepayable after one year without penalty and matures in June 2006 with two-one year extension options. The proceeds of the new loan were used primarily to repay (i) a $18,926 mortgage loan on 33 North Dearborn, (ii) a $69,507 mortgage loan on Tysons Dulles Plaza, and (iii) $40,000 of borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. In connection with the closing of the 770 Broadway loan, the Company purchased an interest rate cap, and simultaneously sold an interest rate cap with the same terms. Since these instruments do not reduce the Company’s net interest rate risk exposure, they do not qualify as hedges and changes in their respective values are charged to earnings. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments is expected to substantially offset one another. Simultaneously with the completion of the 770 Broadway loan, the Company used cash from its mortgage escrow account to repay $133,659 of the $153,659 of debt previously cross-collateralized by its 770 Broadway and 595 Madison Avenue properties.
(2) On August 4, 2003, the Company completed a refinancing of its 909 Third Avenue mortgage loan. The new $125,000 mortgage loan is for a term of three years and bears interest at LIBOR plus .70% and has two one-year extension options. Simultaneously with the completion of the 909 Third Avenue loan, the Company used cash from its mortgage escrow account to repay the balance of $20,000 of debt previously cross-collateralized by its 770 Broadway and 595 Madison Avenue properties. In connection with the closing of the 909 Third Avenue loan, the Company purchased an interest rate cap, and simultaneously sold an interest rate cap with the same terms. Since these instruments do not reduce the Company’s net interest rate risk exposure, they do not qualify as hedges and changes in their respective values are charged to earnings. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments is expected to substantially offset one another.
(3) On July 31, 2003, the Company replaced the mortgage on the Commerce Executive property with (i) a new $43,000 non-recourse mortgage loan at LIBOR plus 1.50% with a two-year term and a one-year extension option and (ii) a $10,000 unsecured loan for three years at LIBOR plus .65% with a one-year extension option.
(4) On July 3, 2003, the Company entered into a new $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility which has replaced its $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility which was to mature in July, 2003. The new facility has a three-year term, a one-year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus .65%. The Company also has the ability under the new facility to seek up to $800 million of commitments during the facility’s term. The new facility contains financial covenants similar to the prior facility.

11. Stock-Based Compensation
As part of the 2002 annual compensation review, in lieu of stock options, on January 28, 2003 the Company granted 166,990 restricted shares at $34.50 per share (the then closing stock price on the NYSE) to employees of the Company. These awards vest over a 5-year period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Dividends paid on both vested and unvested restricted share awards are charged to retained earnings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company recognized compensation expense of $862,000 and $2,406,000, of which $285,000 and $759,000 related to the January 2003 awards.
Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method (i.e. the difference between the price per share at the grant date and the option exercise price). Accordingly, no stock-based compensation was recognized in the Company’s financial statements for plan awards granted prior to 2003. If compensation cost for plan awards granted prior to 2003 had been determined based on fair value at the grant dates, net income and income per share would have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts below:

On November 3, 2003, the Company sold its Hagerstown retail property located in Maryland for $3,100,000. The Company’s gain on sale after closing costs is approximately $2,000,000, and will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2003.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
At September 30, 2003, the Company’s $600,000,000 revolving credit facility had a zero balance, and the Company utilized $9,167,000 of availability under the facility for letters of credit and guarantees. In addition, the Company has $10,167,000 of other letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2003.
Each of the Company’s 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 the Company.
The Company’s debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by its properties (which are generally non-recourse to the Company) and its revolving credit agreement, contain customary covenants requiring the Company to maintain insurance. There can be no assurance that the lenders under these instruments will not take the position that since the Company’s current all risk insurance policies differ from policies in effect prior to September 11, 2001 as to coverage for terrorist acts, there are breaches of these debt instruments that allow the lenders to declare an event of default and accelerate repayment of debt. In addition, if lenders insist on coverage for these risks, as it existed prior to September 11, 2001, it could adversely affect the Company’s ability to finance and/or refinance its properties and to expand its portfolio.
From time to time, the Company has disposed of substantial amounts of real estate to third parties for which, as to certain properties, it remains contingently liable.
There are various legal actions against the Company in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

14. Segment Information
The Company has four business segments: Office, Retail, Merchandise Mart Properties and Temperature Controlled Logistics. Effective with the first quarter of 2003, to comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G concerning non-GAAP financial measures, the Company has revised its definition of EBITDA to include minority interest, gains (losses) on the sale of depreciable real estate and income arising from the straight-lining of rent and the amortization of below market leases net of above market leases. EBITDA as disclosed represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization”. The prior period EBITDA has been restated to reflect these changes.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
New York, New York
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of September 30, 2003, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 condensed 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 6, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” on January 1, 2002. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the 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 “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans” 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 under “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1. Business – Certain Factors That May Adversely Affect the Company’s Business and Operations.” For these statements, the Company claims 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.
Overview
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management 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.
A summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies is included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements, Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies also included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to those policies during 2003.
Effective with the first quarter of 2003, to comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G concerning non-GAAP financial measures, the Company has revised its definition of EBITDA to include minority interest, gains (losses) on the sale of depreciable real estate and income arising from the straight-lining of rent and the amortization of below market leases net of above market leases. EBITDA as disclosed represents “Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” The prior period EBITDA has been restated to reflect these changes. Management considers EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of its segments as it is related to the return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, management utilizes this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of its assets to that of its peers. EBITDA is not a surrogate for net income because net income is after interest expense and accordingly, is a measure of return on equity as opposed to return on assets.

(1) Results primarily from (i) an increase in real estate taxes in New York City of $5,639, a substantial portion of which is reimbursed by tenants, and (ii) an increase in bad debt expense of $885, partially offset by lower commission expenses of $325 in connection with CESCR’s third party leasing business.
(2) Results primarily from lower bad debt expenses in 2003 and charges in 2002 of $954 in connection with the termination of a contract and the write-off of related deferred costs which did not reoccur in 2003.
(3) Primarily due to (i) a severance payment of $1,570 for an executive officer and the expense related to the accelerated vesting of his restricted stock awards amounting to $867, (ii) a $2,031 increase in payroll expense of which $267 is due to a decrease in capitalized development payroll, $185 is due to stock compensation expense (see below) and $140 is due to the Company’s deferred compensation plan (offset by an equal amount of investment income), (iii) a $708 increase in professional fees in connection with corporate governance, insurance and other projects, (iv) a $720 reimbursement of expenses received in 2002, partially offset by, (v) $2,229 of Primestone litigation expenses in 2002.
As part of the 2002 annual compensation review, in lieu of stock options, on January 28, 2003 the Company granted 166,990 restricted shares at $34.50 per share (the then closing stock price on the NYSE) to employees of the Company. These awards vest over a 5-year period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. In the third quarter of 2003, the Company recognized compensation expense of $862,000, of which $285,000 related to the January 2003 awards.
Income Applicable to Alexander’s
Income applicable to Alexander’s (loan interest income, management, leasing, development and commitment fees, and equity in income) was $739,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared to $12,554,000 in the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $11,815,000. This decrease resulted primarily from Alexander’s stock appreciation rights compensation expense, of which the Company’s share was $6,192,000 in 2003, as compared to the Company’s share of income in 2002, of $1,402,000 from the reversal of Alexander’s second quarter expense, as Alexander’s stock price declined to $61.00 on September 30, 2002, and $3,431,000 from Alexander’s gain on sale of its Third Avenue property.

Income from Partially-Owned Entities
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company reflects the income it receives from (i) entities it owns less than 50% of and (ii) entities it owns more than 50% of, but which have a partner who has shared board and management representation and authority and substantive participating rights on all significant business decisions, on the equity method of accounting resulting in such income appearing on one line in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Below is the detail of income from partially-owned entities by investment as well as the increase (decrease) in income from partially-owned entities for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

(1) The Company acquired a 50% interest in the Monmouth Mall on October 19, 2002.
(2) On September 23, 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the Mall and 25% of the Kmart anchor store it did not previously own. Accordingly, the operations of Las Catalinas are consolidated into the accounts of the Company subsequent to September 23, 2002.

Interest and Other Investment Income
Interest and other investment income (interest income on mortgage loans receivable, other interest income and dividend income) was $2,800,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared to $6,407,000 in the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $3,607,000. This decrease resulted primarily from lower average investments and lower yields on the reinvestment of proceeds from the repayment of the Company’s loans receivable during 2003.
Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense was $57,031,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $60,842,000 in the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $3,811,000. This decrease was primarily comprised of a $4,070,000 savings from a 1.06% reduction in weighted average interest rates of the Company’s variable rate debt, partially offset by (i) the consolidation as of September 2002 of the Las Catalinas operations which were previously included in income from partially-owned entities and (ii) a reduction in interest capitalized in connection with development projects.

(1) Represents operations which were owned for the same period in each year and excludes non-recurring income and expenses.
(2) EBITDA and the same store percentage increase (decrease) were $83,303 and 2.5% for the New York office portfolio and $73,567 and (2.5%) for the CESCR portfolio. The CESCR same store decrease of $1,746 reflects a reduction in third party net leasing fees of $575.
(3) Represents a $982 increase in the LA Mart as a result of higher rental revenue and lower marketing expenses and an increase of $665 (2.6% same store) in the remainder of the portfolio primarily due to lower operating expenses.
(4) The increase results primarily from (i) lease termination fees and bad debt recoveries of $1,078 in the three months ended September 30, 2003 and (ii) charges in 2002 which did not reoccur in 2003, of $954 in connection with the termination of a contract and $312 for the settlement of a 1998 utility assessment.
(5) The Company reflects its 60% share of Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership’s (the “Landlord”) rental income it receives from AmeriCold Logistics, its tenant, which leases the underlying temperature controlled warehouses used in its business. The Company’s joint venture does not recognize rental income unless earned and collection is assured or cash is received. The Company did not recognize $8,416 of rent it was due for the three months ended September 30, 2003, which together with previously deferred rent is $43,868. The tenant has advised the Landlord that (i) its revenue for the current quarter ended September 30, 2003 from the warehouses it leases from the Landlord, is lower than last year by 0.4%, and (ii) its gross profit before rent at these warehouses for the corresponding period is higher than last year by $2,125 (a 5.8% increase). In addition, the tenant had lower general and administrative expenses offset by a decrease in other income.

(1) Average occupancy and REVPAR for the Hotel Pennsylvania were 58.6% and $50.41 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 61.7% and $53.50 for the prior year’s nine months.
(2) Reflects an increase of $2,841 resulting from the rescheduling of two trade shows from the fourth quarter in which they were previously held to the first quarter of 2003, partially offset by lower trade show revenue in the second quarter of 2003 primarily due to a smaller April Market show this year as a result of a conversion of trade show space to permanent space.
(3) Results primarily from a $3,018 decrease in CESCR third party leasing revenue.
See supplemental information on page 45 for further details of leasing activity and corresponding changes in occupancy.

(1) The Company acquired a 50% interest in the Monmouth Mall on October 19, 2002.
(2) Results primarily from an increase in gross profit before rent of $552 and lower general and administrative expenses offset by a decrease in other income.
(3) The nine months ended September 30, 2003 includes a net gain of $9,500 from the sale of properties and the early extinguishment of debt.
(4) On September 23, 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the Mall and 25% of the Kmart anchor store it did not previously own. Accordingly, the operations of Las Catalinas are consolidated into the accounts of the Company subsequent to September 23, 2002.

Interest and Other Investment Income
Interest and other investment income (interest income on mortgage loans receivable, other interest income and dividend income) was $16,224,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $25,984,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $9,760,000. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) lower yields on the reinvestment of proceeds received from the repayment of the loan from NorthStar Partnership L.P. in May 2002 and the repayment of other loans and (ii) lower average other investments at lower yields, partially offset by (iii) $5,655,000 of contingent interest income recognized in connection with the repayment of the Dearborn Center loan.
Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense was $173,269,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $177,177,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $3,908,000. This decrease was primarily comprised of a $8,362,000 savings from a ..87% reduction in weighted average interest rates of the Company’s variable rate debt, partially offset by (i) the consolidation as of September 2002 of the Las Catalinas operations which were previously included in income from partially-owned entities and (ii) a reduction in interest capitalized in connection with development projects.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle
In September 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (effective January 1, 2002). SFAS No. 142 specifies that goodwill and some intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead be subject to periodic impairment testing. In the first quarter of 2002, the Company wrote-off goodwill of approximately $30,129,000 of which (i) $15,490,000 represents its share of the goodwill arising from the Company’s investment in Temperature Controlled Logistics and (ii) $14,639,000 represents goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisition of the Hotel Pennsylvania. The write-off has been reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

(2) EBITDA and the same store percentage increase (decrease) were $251,467 and 2.4% for the New York office portfolio and $218,804 and (1.5%) for the CESCR portfolio. The CESCR same store decrease of $2,847 reflects a reduction in third party net leasing fees of $1,443.
(3) The Company reflects its 60% share of Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership’s (the “Landlord”) rental income it receives from AmeriCold Logistics, its tenant, which leases the underlying temperature controlled warehouses used in its business. The Company’s joint venture does not recognize rental income unless earned and collection is assured or cash is received. The Company did not recognize $19,518 of rent it was due for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, which together with previously deferred rent is $43,868. The tenant has advised the Landlord that (i) its revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from the warehouses it leases from the Landlord, is lower than last year by 1.6%, and (ii) its gross profit before rent at these warehouses for the corresponding period is higher than last year by $552 (a 0.5% increase). In addition, the tenant had lower general and administrative expenses offset by a decrease in other income.

The covenants and definitions of the Company’s senior unsecured notes due 2007 are described in Exhibit 4.2 to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
The defined terms and amounts used to determine compliance with the above-referenced covenants differ from such terms and amounts determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs which is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable periods. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management considers FFO a relevant supplemental measure of operating performance because it provides a basis for comparison among REITs. FFO is computed in accordance with NAREIT’s definition, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
On January 1, 2003, the Company acquired for $13,000,000 in cash BMS, which provides cleaning, security and engineering services to office properties, including the Company’s Manhattan office properties. This company was previously owned by the estate of Bernard Mendik and certain other individuals including Mr. David R. Greenbaum, one of the Company’s executive officers. This acquisition was recorded as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the operations of BMS are consolidated into the accounts of the Company beginning January 1, 2003.
On April 9, 2003, the Company acquired Kaempfer, which owns partial interests in six Class “A” office properties in Washington D.C., manages and leases these properties and four others for which it receives customary fees and has options to acquire certain other real estate interests, including 50% of Kaempfer’s 5% interest in the planned redevelopment of Waterfront, located at 401 M Street, a mixed-use project in Southwest Washington D.C. (the “Waterfront interest”). Kaempfer’s equity interest in the properties approximates 5.0%. The aggregate purchase price for the equity interests and the management and leasing business was $33,400,000 (consisting of $29,800,000 in cash and approximately 99,300 Vornado Realty L.P. partnership units valued at $3,600,000) and may be increased by up to $9,000,000 based on the performance of the management company. This acquisition was recorded as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the operations of Kaempfer are consolidated into the accounts of the Company beginning April 9, 2003. The six Class “A” office buildings contain 1.8 million square feet and are as follows: the Warner Building located at 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue containing 600,000 square feet, the Investment Building located at 1501 K Street containing 380,000 square feet, the Commonwealth Tower located at 1300 Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn, VA, containing 343,000 square feet, the Bowen Building (under development) located at 875 15th Street containing 220,000 square feet, 1925 K Street containing 150,000 square feet, and the Executive Tower located at 1399 New York Avenue, containing 123,000 square feet. Kaempfer, which was founded in 1977 and has 65 employees, was combined with the Company’s Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty division (“CESCR”). Mitchell N. Schear, the President of Kaempfer, has become President of CESCR.
On October 7, 2003, the Company acquired the Waterfront interest described above for $2,000,000, of which the Company paid $1,545,000 in cash and issued 12,500 Vornado Realty L.P. partnership units valued at $455,000. The partnership units were issued to Mitchell N. Schear, one of the partners in the Waterfront interest, and the President of the Company’s CESCR division.
On May 2, 2003, the Company acquired the remaining 40% of a 78-year leasehold interest in 20 Broad Street it did not already own. The purchase price was approximately $30,000,000 in cash. 20 Broad Street contains 466,000 square feet of office space, of which 348,000 square feet is leased to the New York Stock Exchange. Prior to the acquisition of the remaining 40%, the Company consolidated the operations of this property and reflected the 40% interest that it did not own as a component of minority interest. Subsequent to this acquisition, the Company will no longer reflect the 40% minority interest.
On August 4, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of 2101 L Street, a 370,000 square foot office building located in Washington D.C. The consideration for the acquisition consisted of approximately 1.1 million newly issued Vornado Realty L.P. partnership units (valued at approximately $49,517,000) and the assumption of existing mortgage debt and transaction costs totaling approximately $32,000,000. Mr. Robert H. Smith and Mr. Robert P. Kogod, trustees of Vornado, together with family members owned approximately 24 percent of the limited partnership that sold the building and Mr. Smith was a general partner. On August 5, 2003, the Company repaid the mortgage of $29,056,000.
Dispositions
On January 9, 2003, the Company sold its Baltimore, Maryland shopping center for $4,752,000, which resulted in a net gain of $2,644,000.
The Company recognized gains on sale of residential condominiums in Chicago, Illinois of $188,000 during the first quarter of 2003 and $282,000 and $2,156,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. Such gains are included in the income statement caption “net gains on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets.”
On June 13, 2003, the Company received its $5,000,000 share of a settlement with affiliates of Primestone Investment Partners of the amounts due under the guarantees of the Primestone loans. In connection therewith, the Company recognized a $1,388,000 loss on settlement of the guarantees which is included in the income statement caption “net gains on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets” for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
48
On June 27, 2003, the Park Laurel joint venture completed the sale of the remaining condominium unit in the project resulting in a net gain to the Company of $94,000, which is included in the income statement caption “net gains on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets” for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
On August 18, 2003, the Company recognized a $767,000 deferred gain on the sale of its 50% interest in 570 Lexington Avenue which was sold on May 17, 2001, and is included in the income statement caption “net gains on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003.
On October 10, 2003, the Company sold Two Park Avenue, a 965,000 square foot office building, for $292,000,000 to SEB Immobilien-Investment GMBH, a German capital investment company. The Company’s net gain on the sale after closing costs is approximately $157,000,000 and will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2003.
On November 3, 2003, the Company sold its Hagerstown retail property located in Maryland for $3,100,000. The Company’s gain on sale after closing costs is approximately $2,000,000, and will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Financings
On June 9, 2003, the Company completed a $170,000,000 mortgage financing of its 770 Broadway property. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.05%, is prepayable after one year without penalty and matures in June 2006 with two-one year extension options. The proceeds of the new loan were used primarily to repay (i) a $18,926,000 mortgage loan on 33 North Dearborn, (ii) a $69,507,000 mortgage loan on Tysons Dulles Plaza and (iii) $40,000,000 of borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. In connection with the closing of the 770 Broadway loan, the Company purchased an interest rate cap, and simultaneously sold an interest rate cap with the same terms. Since these instruments do not reduce the Company’s net interest rate risk exposure, they do not qualify as hedges and changes in their respective values are charged to earnings. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments are expected to substantially offset one another. Simultaneously with the completion of the 770 Broadway loan, the Company used cash from its mortgage escrow account to repay $133,659,000 of the $153,659,000 of debt previously cross-collateralized by its 770 Broadway and 595 Madison Avenue properties.
On July 3, 2003, the Company entered into a new $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility which has replaced its $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility which was to mature in July, 2003. The Company has reduced the capacity because historically it has not utilized this additional capacity and to reduce costs. The new facility has a three-year term with a one-year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus .65%. The Company also has the ability under the new facility to seek up to $800 million of commitments during the facility’s term. The new facility contains financial covenants similar to the prior facility.
On July 31, 2003, the Company replaced the mortgage on the Commerce Executive property with (i) a new $43,000,000 non-recourse mortgage loan at LIBOR plus 1.50% with a two-year term and a one-year extension option and (ii) a $10,000,000 unsecured loan for three years at LIBOR plus .65% with a one-year extension option.
On August 4, 2003, the Company completed a refinancing of its 909 Third Avenue property. The new $125,000,000 mortgage loan is for a term of three years and bears interest at LIBOR plus .70% and has two one-year extension options. Simultaneously with the completion of the 909 Third Avenue loan, the Company used cash from its mortgage escrow account to repay the balance of $20,000,000 of debt previously cross-collateralized by its 770 Broadway and 595 Madison Avenue properties. In connection with the closing of the 909 Third Avenue loan, the Company purchased an interest rate cap, and simultaneously sold an interest rate cap with the same terms. Since these instruments do not reduce the Company’s net interest rate risk exposure, they do not qualify as hedges and changes in their respective values are charged to earnings. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments are expected to substantially offset one another.
On October 10, 2003, the Company called for the redemption of all of its 8.5% Series D-1 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units issued in 1998. The Preferred Units will be redeemed on November 12, 2003 at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per unit or an aggregate of $87,500,000 plus accrued distributions of $849,000. In conjunction with the redemption, the Company will write-off $2,100,000 of issuance costs in the fourth quarter of 2003.
The Company anticipates that cash from continuing operations will be adequate to fund business operations and the payment of dividends and distributions on an on-going basis for more than the next twelve months; however, capital outlays for significant acquisitions would require funding from borrowings or equity offerings.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
The Company has exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Company. Various financial instruments exist which would allow management to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s cash flows and earnings.
The Company’s exposure to a change in interest rates on its wholly-owned and partially-owned debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:

(1) Includes $532,871 for the Company’s senior unsecured notes due 2007, as the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted the interest rate from a fixed rate of 5.625% to a floating rate of LIBOR plus .7725%, based upon the trailing 3 month LIBOR rate (1.96% if set on September 30, 2003). In accordance with SFAS 133, as amended, the Company is required to fair value the debt at each reporting period. At September 30, 2003, the fair value adjustment was $33,408, and is included in the balance of the senior unsecured notes above.
The fair value of the Company’s debt, 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, exceeds the aggregate carrying amount by approximately $127,043,000 at September 30, 2003.
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 the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as 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
The Company is from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters, including in respect of the matters referred to below, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The following supplements and amends the discussion set forth under Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, as updated by the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003.
Stop & Shop
As previously disclosed, 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, terminated the Company’s right to reallocate. 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. On April 9, 2003, the Company moved the New York Supreme Court action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 30, 2003, the District Court ordered that the case be placed in suspension and ordered the parties to proceed in a related case that the Company commenced in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On July 24, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court referred the related case to mediation. If this matter is not resolved through mediation, the hearing will reconvene on November 20, 2003. The Company believes that the additional rent provision of the guaranty expires at the earliest in 2012 and will vigorously oppose Stop & Shop’s complaint.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company issued 4,625 common shares upon the redemption of Class A units of the Operating Partnership held by persons who received units in private placements in earlier periods in exchange for their interests in limited partnerships that owned real estate. All of the common shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of that Act.

In the third quarter of 2003, Mr. Paul Larner, the Company’s Executive Vice President - Chief Administrative Officer and Secretary, resigned effective October 3, 2003.
