Footnote Regarding Reclassification In Connection With SFAS 141 Accounting

 

SFAS 141 was effective July 1, 2001 for acquisitions of operating real estate initiated after June 30, 2001. The effect of SFAS 141 on the Company’s accounting for in- place operating leases is as follows:

 

   Value is assigned to in-place operating leases to the extent that the future cash flows under the contractual lease terms are above or below market at the time of acquisition. For example, if the Company acquires a property, and the leases in place for that property carry rents below the market rent for such leases at the time of acquisition, the Company classifies the amount equal to the difference as deferred revenue, and increases the amount of the acquisition classified as investment in real estate. Conversely, if the leases in place for that property carry rents above the market rent, the Company classifies the amount equal to the difference as a deferred asset, and decreases the amount of the acquisition classified as investment in real estate. Deferred revenue or deferred assets recorded in connection with in-place operating leases of acquired properties are amortized into rental revenue over the life of the leases.

 

   In addition, value is assigned to the deemed cost avoidance of acquiring in-place operating leases. For example, when a new lease is entered into, the lessor typically incurs a number of origination costs in connection with the leases; such costs include tenant improvements and leasing costs. When a property is acquired with in-place leases, the origination costs for such leases were already incurred by the prior owner. Therefore, to recognize the value of these costs in recording a property acquisition, the Company assigns value to the tenant improvements and leasing costs associated with the remaining term of in- place operating leases. The value assigned reduces the amount of the acquisition classified as investment in real estate. The value assigned to the tenant improvements and leasing costs is depreciated or amortized over the life of the leases. Since the depreciation period for tenant improvements and amortization period for leasing costs is less than the depreciation period attributable to an investment in real estate, the effect of SFAS 141 is to increase depreciation and amortization expense until the tenant improvements and leasing costs have been fully depreciated or amortized, and to decrease depreciation and amortization expense afterwards.

DISCLOSURE

 

Footnote Regarding Reclassification In Connection With SFAS 141 Accounting con’t:

 

The Company reclassified certain items in connection with its accounting under SFAS 141 in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The primary effects of the reclassification to the Company’s financial statements were as follows:

 

-               since the in-place leases of properties acquired since July 1, 2001 were on average at below market rents, the application of SFAS 141 resulted in the Company recording net deferred revenue; and

 

-               the Company recognized additional rental revenue in 2002 associated with the amortization of the deferred revenue described above and recognized depreciation and amortization expense on tenant improvements and leasing costs associated with in-place leases.

 

The Company is changing its presentation of the effects of SFAS 141 on the results of operations by reclassifying the depreciation of tenant improvements and amortization of leasing costs associated with in- place operating leases of acquired properties from rental revenue to depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes that the revised presentation of the results of operations more closely reflects the economic substance of an acquisition transaction. This change in classification increases rental revenues for the periods reported, with an offsetting increase to depreciation and amortization expense.

 

The reclassification described above changes certain financial statements line items in the Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows, as well as certain presentations of operating results and measures of performance that include rental revenue but exclude depreciation and amortization expense, that appear in the Registrant’s filings and earnings releases pertaining to 2002, including the Company’s FFO for the periods reported. However, such changes do not affect net income, EPS, AFFO, net cash flows and cash flows from operating activities.

Definitions — Non GAAP Measure

 

Funds from Operations

 

Funds from operations means net income (loss) computed using GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of real estate, plus real estate- related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, although FFO includes gains (or losses) from sales of real estate to the extent such gains relate to sales of non- operating properties and development services provided on operating properties. Accounting for real estate assets using historical cost accounting under GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. The National Association of Real Estate Trusts (“NAREIT”) stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations that “since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.” As a result, the concept of FFO was created by NAREIT for the REIT industry to “address this problem.”

 

 

 

 

 

Since the Company agrees with the concept of FFO and appreciates the reason surrounding its creation, it believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance. In addition, since most equity REITs provide FFO information to the investment community, the Company believes FFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Company’s results to those of other equity REITs. The Company believes that net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to FFO.

 

 

 

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

 

FFO adjusted for the following: straight- line rents, SFAS 141 revenues, and recurring capital expenditures.

Industry Classification

 

We classify the revenue from our leases into industry groupings based solely on Management’s knowledge of the tenants’ operations in leased space. Occasionally, classifications require subjective and complex judgments. For example, we have a tenant that is considered by many to be in the computer industry; however, since the nature of that tenant’s operations in the space leased from us is focused on providing service to the United State Government’s defense department, we classify the revenue we earn from the lease as Government defense/ defense contractor industry revenue. We do not use independent sources such as Standard Industrial Classification codes for classifying our revenue into industry groupings and if we did, the resulting groupings would be materially different.

Total Annualized Revenue

 

Annualized rental revenue is a measure that we use to evaluate the source of our rental revenue as of a point-in-time. It is computed by multiplying the sum of monthly contractual base rent and estimated monthly expense reimbursements under active leases as of a point in time by 12. We consider annualized rental revenue to be a useful measure for analyzing revenue sources because, since it is point-in-time based, it would not contain increases and decreases in revenue associated with periods where leases where not in effect; historical GAAP revenue would contain such fluctuations. We find the measure particularly useful for tenant and segment analysis. We consider annualized rental revenue to be a statistical measure rather than a performance measure. Annualized rental revenue cannot be reconciled to GAAP measures since its computation is not derived from historical GAAP measures.
