PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Set forth below are the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidating balance sheet as of March 31, 2003 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidating statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the three months ended March 31, 2003 of Corporate Office Properties Trust and its consolidated affiliates, including Corporate Office Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”).  Corporate Office Properties Trust and its consolidated affiliates, including the Operating Partnership, are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.”

 

The pro forma condensed consolidating financial information is presented as if the following transactions had been consummated on the earlier of the actual date of consummation or March 31, 2003 for balance sheet purposes and January 1, 2002 for purposes of the statements of operations:

 

2002 Transactions

The transactions set forth below are collectively referred to herein as the “2002 Transactions.”

 

                  The acquisition on April 4, 2002 of an office building in Hanover, Maryland (“7320 Parkway Drive”) for $4,957,000 using borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility with Bankers Trust Company (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

 

                  The acquisition on April 4, 2002 of four office buildings in Columbia, Maryland (the “Rivers 95 Properties”) for $11,564,000 using $10,214,000 in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and cash reserves for the balance.

 

                  The acquisition on May 31, 2002 of an office building in Columbia, Maryland (“7000 Columbia Gateway Drive”) for $16,196,000 using $15,800,000 in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and cash reserves for the balance.

 

                  The disposition on July 17, 2002 of an office building located in Columbia, Maryland (“8815 Centre Park Drive”) for $7,175,000, of which $3,500,000 was used to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility and the balance applied to cash reserves.

 

                  The acquisition on August 1, 2002 of an office building in Silver Spring, Maryland (“11800 Tech Road”) for $27,184,000 using borrowings under two mortgage loans.

 

                  The acquisition on August 14, 2002 of two office buildings in Chantilly, Virginia (“15049 and 15059 Conference Center Drive”) for $47,416,000 using $30,916,000 in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $16,500,000 in borrowings under two mortgage loans.

 

2003 Completed Transactions

The transactions set forth below are collectively referred to herein as the “2003 Completed Transactions.”

 

                                          The acquisition on January 24, 2003 of the first phase of a 108-acre land parcel acquisition in Annapolis Junction, Maryland (“Cedar Knolls Phase I”) from an affiliate of Constellation

 

 

F-2



 

Real Estate, Inc.  The first phase was acquired for $21,339,000, of which $18,433,000 was financed by a seller-provided mortgage loan bearing interest at a per annum rate of 3%.  Since management considered the interest rate on this loan to be below the market rate for similar loans, we discounted the recorded amounts for the acquisition and mortgage loan by $1,516,000.

                                          The contribution on March 14, 2003 of an office building located in Fairfield, New Jersey (“695 Route 46”) into a real estate joint venture in return for $19,960,000 in cash and a 20% ownership interest in the joint venture.  We used $17,000,000 of the proceeds to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

                                          The issuance of 5,290,000 common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) on May 27, 2003 for net proceeds of $79,384,000 (the “Common Share Issuance”), of which $63,890,000 was used to fund the acquisition of 13200 Woodland Park Drive discussed below and the balance used to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility.

                                          The acquisition on June 2, 2003 of an office building in Herndon, Virginia (“13200 Woodland Park Drive”) for $71,435,000 using $63,890,000 of the proceeds from the Common Share Issuance and $7,545,000 in cash escrowed from previous property sales.

 

                                          The repurchase of 1,016,662 Series C Preferred Units of our Operating Partnership (the “Series C Preferred Unit Repurchase”) on June 16, 2003 for $36,068,000 using $40,000,000 in borrowings under a new mortgage loan.  The Revolving Credit Facility was also paid down by $3,411,000 using borrowings from this mortgage loan.

 

                                          The acquisition of five buildings in Northern Virginia (the “Dulles Tech/Ridgeview Properties”) for $75,487,000 on July 25, 2003 using $45,000,000 in borrowings under a new mortgage loan carrying an interest rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points and $30,487,000 in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

2003 Probable Transactions

The transactions set forth below are collectively referred to herein as the “2003 Probable Transactions.”

 

                                          The issuance of preferred shares of beneficial interest (the “Preferred Share Issuance”), expected to be completed in August 2003 for net proceeds of approximately $48,430,000.  The Company expects to use the proceeds to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility.

                                          The acquisition of the second phase of a 108-acre land parcel in Annapolis Junction, Maryland (“Cedar Knolls Phase II”) from an affiliate of Constellation Real Estate, Inc.  Management expects that this acquisition will be completed by September 2003 for an approximate purchase price of $9,012,000.  Under the terms of the agreement, the seller will provide financing for the acquisition at a per annum rate of 3%, which management considers to be a below-market rate; accordingly, the Company expects to discount the value of the acquisition and the financing to reflect the below-market interest rate.  After adjustment for

 

 

F-3



 

this discount, the Cedar Knolls Phase II acquisition would be valued at approximately $8,468,000 for the purchase and $6,666,000 for the seller-provided mortgage loan.

This pro forma condensed consolidating financial information should be read in conjunction with the following historical financial statements and notes thereto:

 

                  Corporate Office Properties Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, included in the Company’s Current Reports filed on Forms 10-K and 10-Q for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the three months ended March 31, 2003, respectively;

                  7000 Columbia Gateway Drive, 11800 Tech Road and 15049 and 15059 Conference Center Drive, all of which are included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed December 16, 2002; and

                  13200 Woodland Park Drive and the Dulles Tech/Ridgeview Properties, both of which are included in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the 2002 Transactions, 2003 Completed Transactions and 2003 Probable Transactions have been made.  This pro forma condensed consolidating financial information is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s actual financial position would have been at March 31, 2003 or what the results of operations would have been for the year ended December 31, 2002 or the three months ended March 31, 2003.  The pro forma condensed consolidating financial information also does not purport to represent the future financial position and results of operations of the Company.

CORPORATE OFFICE PROPERTIES TRUST

NOTES AND MANAGEMENT’S ASSUMPTIONS TO

PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

1.             Basis of Presentation:

 

Corporate Office Properties Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a fully-integrated and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust.  As of March 31, 2003, the Company’s portfolio included 112 office properties, including three owned through joint ventures.

 

These pro forma condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company, 7000 Columbia Gateway Drive, 11800 Tech Road, 15049 and 15059 Conference Center Drive, 13200 Woodland Park Drive and the Dulles Tech/Ridgeview Properties.  In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the 2002 Transactions, 2003 Completed Transactions and 2003 Probable Transactions have been made.  This pro forma condensed consolidating financial information is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s actual financial position would have been at March 31, 2003 or what the results of operations would have been for the year ended December 31, 2002 or the three months ended March 31, 2003, nor does it purport to represent the future financial position and results of operations of the Company.

 

The Company allocates the cost of property acquisitions to the components of those acquisitions based on their respective fair values. 

 

The Company allocates value 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 (the “lease to market value”).  If the rents are determined to be below market at the time of acquisition, the Company classifies the amount equal to the difference as deferred revenue.  If the rents are determined to be above the market rent, the Company classifies the amount equal to the difference as a deferred asset.  These deferred revenues and deferred assets are amortized into rental revenue over the lives of the leases.

 

Value is assigned to the deemed cost avoidance of acquiring in-place operating leases, representing tenant improvements and leasing costs.  The Company assigns value to these costs associated with the remaining term of the leases.  The tenant improvements and leasing costs are depreciated or amortized over the lives of the leases. 

 

In recognition of certain informal positions taken by the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company also assigned value to other intangible assets for the 2003 Completed Transactions and 2003 Probable Transactions involving acquisition transactions subsequent to March 31, 2003.  These other intangible assets are computed by valuing the property on an as if vacant basis and subtracting from the total acquisition cost the sum of the (1) as if vacant value, (2) lease to market value and (3) value assigned to tenant improvements and leasing costs described above.  The other intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful lives of such assets; the useful lives of these assets are shorter than the depreciation periods of the base buildings.

 

The Company’s allocations of the property acquisitions included in these consolidated financial statements are set forth below:

                        acquisition on April 4, 2002 and the amortization of the lease to market value for such period.

(iii)       Reflects the effects of the historical operations of 7000 Columbia Gateway Drive prior to its acquisition on May 31, 2002 and the amortization of the lease to market value for such period.

(iv)      Reflects the elimination of the historical operations of 8815 Centre Park Drive prior to its disposition on July 17, 2002 and the gain recognized in 2002 in connection with the disposition.

 

 

F-9



 

(v)         Reflects the effects of the historical operations of 11800 Tech Road prior to its acquisition on August 1, 2002 and the amortization of the lease to market value for such period.

(vi)      Reflects the effects of the historical operations of 15049 and 15059 Conference Center Drive prior to their acquisition on August 14, 2002 and the amortization of the lease to market value for such period.

 

(C)                                Reflects the effects of the historical operations of Cedar Knolls Phase I prior to its acquisition on January 24, 2003 and Cedar Knolls Phase II for the period presented.  These properties are land parcels with no historical operating activity.

 

(D)                               Reflects the elimination of the historical operations of 695 Route 46 prior to its contribution into a real estate joint venture on March 14, 2003.  Also reflects the Company’s share of the joint venture’s income for the period presented based on (i) the property’s historical operations for the period presented, (ii) the property’s depreciation expense as derived from the acquisition costs incurred by the joint venture and (iii) the interest expense of the joint venture as derived from the terms of the mortgage loan used to acquire the property from the Company.

 

(E)                                 Reflects the effects of the Series C Preferred Unit Repurchase for the period presented. Upon completion of the repurchase, the Company recognized a nonrecurring $11,244 deemed distribution representing the amount paid in excess of the recorded book value of the units. This deemed distribution decreased the Company's net income available to common shareholders by $11,244 and, in turn, also decreased the Company's earnings per share basic and earnings per share diluted. The pro forma condensed consolidating statements of operations, including the pro forma earnings per share basic and earnings per share diluted, do not reflect the effect of the deemed distribution.

 

(F)                                 13200 Woodland Park Drive is a newly-constructed building.  None of the building was operational until November 2002 and 47.2% of the building was operational from December 2002 through March 2003.  The pro forma adjustments reflect the effects of the (1) historical operations of 13200 Woodland Park Drive for the portion of the building that was operational for the period presented and (2) amortization to rental revenue for the period presented of value associated with in-place operating leases to the extent that future cash flows under the contractual leases are above or below market at the time of the acquisitions.

 

(G)                                Reflects dividends on the preferred shares expected to be issued in the Preferred Share Issuance, which we expect to have an aggregate liquidation preference of $50,000 and to pay dividends at an estimated yearly rate of 8% of such liquidation preference.

 

(H)                               Reflects the effects of (1) historical operations of the Dulles Tech/Ridgeview Properties for the period presented and (2) amortization to rental revenue for the period presented of value associated with in-place operating leases to the extent that future cash flows under the contractual leases are above or below market at the time of the acquisitions.

 

(I)                                    Pro forma adjustments for additional interest expense resulting from property acquisitions and the Series C Preferred Unit Repurchase are set forth below.  Pro forma adjustments are also set forth below for decreases in historical interest expense resulting from property dispositions and other transactions reported herein involving debt repayment.  The pro forma adjustments below associated with the Revolving Credit Facility (carrying interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 175 basis points) and other variable rate loans were computed using the weighted average of the rates in effect for the applicable pro forma periods.  Pro forma deferred financing cost amortization adjustments are reflected assuming such costs are amortized over the lives of the related loans.

The pro forma adjustments above reflect an aggregate increase to interest expense.  The aggregate pro forma increase to interest expense would increase by an additional $90 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $11 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 if interest rates on variable-rate debt were 1/8th of a percentage point higher.

 

The pro forma adjustments resulting from acquisition activity were computed primarily using the effects of initial debt incurred for such acquisitions; such adjustments do not reflect the effect of subsequent changes to the Company’s debt, including activity to refinance initially incurred debt.  If the pro forma adjustments reflected subsequent refinancings with debt secured by the properties acquired above, the aggregate pro forma interest expense would increase by an additional $325 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.  In addition, if the pro forma adjustments reflected the effects of other changes to the Company’s debt, the aggregate increase to interest expense could be higher.

 

(J)                                   Pro forma depreciation expense adjustments are reflected on acquisitions based on (i) the portion of the acquisition costs attributable to the building depreciated over a useful life of 40 years and (ii) the value of tenant improvements associated with in-place operating leases depreciated over the remaining lives of the leases.  Pro forma amortization expense adjustments are reflected on acquisitions based on the value of leasing costs associated with the remaining term of in-place operating leases amortized over the remaining lives of the leases.  Pro forma amortization adjustments are reflected for acquisition transactions occurring subsequent to March 31, 2003 based on the value of other intangible assets amortized over the estimated useful lives of such assets.  Pro forma depreciation and amortization expense adjustments on dispositions are reflected based on historical amounts.

The accompanying historical summary of revenue and certain expenses relates to the operations of 13200 Woodland Park Drive (the “Property”), consisting of the revenue and certain expenses of one office building totaling 404,665 rentable square feet located at Woodland Park Office Park, Herndon, Virginia, commonly known as 13200 Woodland Park Drive.

 

 

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying historical summary of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in contemplation of Corporate Office Properties Trust acquiring the Property.  The historical summary is not representative of the actual operations of the Property for the period presented nor indicative of future operations as certain expenses, primarily depreciation, amortization and interest expense, which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by Corporate Office Properties Trust in future operations of the Property, have been excluded.

 

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease.  Expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Used of Estimates

The preparation of this historical summary in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Major Tenant

During 2002, the Property’s total base rent of $433,678 was attributable to one tenant.

 

Operating expenses

The Property has recorded costs totaling $42,286 in other operating expenses based on an allocation between the Property and other properties owned by the former owner. These expenses may not be recorded in such a manner going forward and are not necessarily indicative of expenses that the Property will incur in future operations.

 

 

3.     Rentals

 

The Property entered into a noncancelable operating lease with Verisign Corporation (“Verisign”) for the entire building and parking garage.  The lease, which has an initial term of 11 years after the last Rent Commencement Date, as defined, provides for a fixed annual base rent of $21.00 per rentable square foot, increasing at 3.5% per annum, and escalation rent based on the Property’s real estate taxes and operating expenses.  Verisign took occupancy of 105,902 and 85,260 rentable square feet of the Property on November 25, 2002 and December 1, 2002, respectively, at which time rent commenced.  Per the terms of the lease, Verisign will take occupancy of the remaining 213,503 rentable square feet of the Property at the earlier of August 1, 2003 or the date that Verisign

5.     Unaudited Interim Statement

 

The historical summary of revenue and certain expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is unaudited.  As a result, this interim historical summary should be read in conjunction with the historical summary and notes included in the December 31, 2002 historical summary of revenue and certain expenses.  The interim historical summary reflects all adjustments which management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of the historical summary of revenue and certain expenses for the interim period presented.  These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The historical summary of revenue and certain expenses for such interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

 

 

6.     Subsequent Event

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2003, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Property, the new Property owner and the existing tenant signed a new lease with terms providing for substantially different future minimum rents.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying historical summary of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in contemplation of Corporate Office Properties Trust acquiring the Properties. The historical summary is not representative of the actual operations of the Properties for the period presented nor indicative of future operations as certain expenses, primarily depreciation, amortization, and interest expense, which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by Corporate Office Properties Trust in future operations of the Properties, have been excluded.

 

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease. Expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Lease termination fees from early termination of lease agreements are recorded when earned.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of this historical summary in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Major Tenants

During 2002, 43% of the Properties’ base rents was earned from three major tenants, each of which amounted to over 10% of total base rents.  Base rents earned from each of these three tenants for the year ended December 31, 2002 were approximately $1,793,000, $1,742,000 and $1,484,000.

 

3.     Rentals

 

The Properties have entered into non-cancelable tenant leases, with expiration dates ranging from 2004 to 2013.

During the year ended December 31, 2002 the Properties paid $334,964 in management fees.

 

5.     Unaudited Interim Historical summary

 

The historical summary of revenue and certain expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is unaudited. As a result, this interim historical summary should be read in conjunction with the historical summary of revenue and certain expenses and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2002.
