VORNADO REALTY TRUST

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

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 92.4% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2010.  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 and include the accounts of Vornado, and the Operating Partnership and its consolidated partially owned entities.  All significant inter-company amounts have been eliminated. 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.  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.

 

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 Reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

3.      Recently Issued Accounting Literature

On January 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, adding new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and additional disclosures about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements.  The retrospective application of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued an update to ASC 810, Consolidation, which modifies the existing quantitative guidance used in determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) by requiring entities to qualitatively assess whether an enterprise is a primary beneficiary, based on whether the entity has (i) power over the significant activities of the VIE, and (ii) an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE.  The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Toys “R” Us (“Toys”)

As of March 31, 2010, we own 32.7% of Toys.  The business of Toys is highly seasonal.  Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income.  We account for our investment in Toys under the equity method and record our 32.7% share of Toys net income or loss on a lag basis because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, and our fiscal year ends on December 31.  As of March 31, 2010, the carrying amount of our investment in Toys does not differ materially from our share of the equity in the net assets of Toys on a purchase accounting basis.

Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX)

 

As of March 31, 2010, 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, 2010, Alexander’s owed us $58,660,000 in fees under these agreements. 

 

Based on Alexander’s March 31, 2010 closing share price of $299.13, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC 820) of our investment in Alexander’s is $494,781,000, or $297,600,000 in excess of the March 31, 2010 carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.  As of March 31, 2010, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s, excluding amounts owed to us, exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $60,226,000.  The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common stock 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 buildings).  We are amortizing 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 will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP)

 

As of March 31, 2010, we own 18,468,969 Lexington common shares, or approximately 13.9% of Lexington’s common equity.  We account for our investment in Lexington on 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 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. 

 

Based on Lexington’s March 31, 2010 closing share price of $6.51, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC 820) of our investment in Lexington was $120,233,000, or $60,833,000 in excess of the March 31, 2010 carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.  As of March 31, 2010, the carrying amount of our investment in Lexington was less than our share of the equity in the net assets of Lexington by approximately $63,000,000.  This basis difference resulted primarily from $107,882,000 of non-cash impairment charges we recognized during 2008.  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 buildings) as compared to their carrying amounts in Lexington’s consolidated financial statements.  We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as an adjustment to 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 will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

(1)       In January 2010, Equinox pre-paid the entire balance of this loan which was scheduled to mature in February 2013.  We received $99,314, including accrued interest, for our 50% interest in the loan which we acquired in 2006 for $57,500. 

 

(2)       Represents loan loss accruals on certain mezzanine loans based on our estimate of the net realizable value of each loan.  Our estimates are based on the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at each loan’s effective interest rate, or if a loan is collateralized, based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, adjusted for estimated costs to sell.  The excess of the carrying amount over the net realizable value of a loan is recognized as a reduction of “interest and other investment income, net” in our consolidated statement of income.
