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”).

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.

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.

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.
