and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 (unaudited)

(Tabular amounts are in thousands, except option and share data)

 

1. Management statement and general

 

The consolidated financial statements of Pan Pacific Retail Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) were prepared from the books and records of the Company without audit and in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Certain reclassifications of 2002 amounts have been made in order to conform to 2003 presentation. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2002, which are included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted from this report.

 

The Company consolidates each entity it controls. Control is determined, where applicable, by the sufficiency of equity invested and the rights of the equity holders, and by the ownership of a majority of the voting interests, with consideration given to the existence of approval or veto rights granted to the minority shareholder. If the minority shareholder holds substantive participation rights, it overcomes the presumption of control by the majority voting interest holder. In contrast, if the minority shareholder simply holds protective rights (such as consent rights over certain actions), it does not overcome the presumption of control by the majority voting interest holder. With respect to the partnerships and limited liability companies, the Company determines control through a consideration of each parties’ financial interests in profits and losses and the ability to participate in major decisions such as the acquisition, sale or refinancing of principal assets.

 

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), our consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows have been revised from those originally reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 to separately reflect the results of discontinued operations for properties that were sold after January 1, 2002. The revision had no impact on our consolidated balance sheets or on net income or net income per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

As a result of the disclosure requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, the following table shows the Company’s pro forma net income had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:

2. Acquisition

 

On January 17, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Center Trust, Inc. (“Center Trust”), a real estate investment trust which owned neighborhood and community shopping centers, at a cost of approximately $600,000,000. The transaction was a stock for stock exchange including assumption of debt whereby Center Trust common shares and units were exchanged into newly issued Company common shares and units, based upon a price of $34.24 per share/unit issued and a 0.218 exchange ratio. As a result, the Company issued 6,084,499 common shares and 284,263 operating subsidiary units to Center Trust’s equity holders. The Company accounted for this transaction using the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, the results of Center Trust’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since January 17, 2003. There was no goodwill recorded as part of this acquisition. The difference between the purchase price of the acquisition and the fair value of the land and buildings and improvements on an as if vacant basis building was not a significant amount.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Center Trust, the Company has a 96% general partner interest in an operating partnership which is consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. CT Operating Partnership, L.P. issued units currently convertible into 253,598 shares of Company common stock or cash, at the Company’s option. Distributions are being made to the limited partners at a rate equal to the distribution being paid by the Company on a share of common stock. Net income is allocated to the limited partners in an amount equal to the cumulative distributions earned by such partners. All remaining net income and all loss is allocated to the Company as general partner.

6. Line of credit

 

In March 2003, the Company entered into a $300,000,000 revolving credit agreement which bears interest, at the Company’s option, at either LIBOR plus 0.70% or a reference rate and expires in March 2006. At September 30, 2003, the amount drawn on this line of credit was $62,000,000 and the interest rate was 1.83%. The credit facility requires a quarterly fee of 0.20% per annum on the total aggregate commitment. The Company, at its sole option, may increase the amount of the commitment up to $400,000,000 and extend the maturity date to March 2007, assuming satisfaction of certain conditions.

 

7. Senior notes

 

In June 2003, the Company issued $75,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.70% senior notes due June 2013. The Company sold these notes at 99.755% of the principal amount. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings under its line of credit.

 

8. Discontinued operations

 

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144. Accordingly, we report each individual property as a component for determining discontinued operations. The operations of four non-strategic assets sold during the first quarter of 2003 and four non-strategic assets sold during the second quarter of 2003 were reported as income from discontinued operations in 2003, and their respective 2002 results of operations were reclassified to income from discontinued operations. The operations of nine properties sold during 2002 are reported as income from discontinued operations in 2002. The following is a summary of our income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Revision of Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

 

Our consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows have been revised, pursuant to SFAS No. 144, from those originally reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 to separately reflect the results of discontinued operations for properties that have since been sold. The revision had no impact on our consolidated balance sheets. The revision had no impact on net income or net income per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. See the discussions of discontinued operations in the “Results of Operations” section below.

 

Cautionary Language

 

The discussions in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include market valuations of our stock, financial performance and operations of our shopping centers, real estate conditions, execution of shopping center development programs, successful completion of renovations, completion of pending acquisitions, integration of completed acquisitions, changes in the availability of additional acquisitions, changes in local or national economic conditions, acts of terrorism or war and other risks detailed from time to time in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable for our current circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions under different future conditions.

 

We believe that the estimates and assumptions that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, in that they require our most subjective judgments, form the basis for the accounting policies deemed to be most critical. These critical accounting policies include our estimates of useful lives in calculating depreciation expense on our shopping center properties and the ultimate recoverability, or impairment, of each shopping center asset. If actual useful lives are different from our estimates this could result in changes to the results of our operations. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of our shopping center properties could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the properties that may not be reflected in the properties’ current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.

 

Overview

 

We receive income primarily from rental revenue from shopping center properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses. Primarily as a result of our acquisition program, including the acquisition of Center Trust described below, the financial data shows increases in total revenue and total expenses from period to period.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, eight non-strategic assets were sold. The cash proceeds were used toward the purchase of two shopping center assets and to pay down our revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, five non-strategic assets were sold, the proceeds of which were used to purchase a shopping center asset.


On November 5, 2002, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Center Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation. The transaction, which closed January 17, 2003, included interests in 27 shopping centers, two regional malls and two single tenant assets. The transaction was a stock for stock exchange, including assumption of $362,257,000 of debt, whereby each share of Center Trust common stock was exchanged for 0.218 newly issued shares of our common stock. As a result, we issued 6,084,499 shares of our common stock to Center Trust stockholders and as of September 30, 2003 we may issue up to 253,598 shares of our common stock to limited partners of CT Operating Partnership, L.P. upon the exchange of operating partnership units held by them. We expect that the more significant part of our growth in the next year or two will come from rent increases from the re-leasing and re-tenanting initiatives of the assets acquired in the Center Trust acquisition, additional acquisitions and the stabilization of other properties acquired during 2002.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

 

Total revenue increased by $55,773,000, or 39.5%, to $196,797,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $141,024,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

 

Rental revenue, which includes base rent and percentage rent, increased by $43,973,000, or 40.0%, to $153,823,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $109,850,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in rental revenue resulted principally from the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio.

 

Recoveries from tenants, which represents reimbursements from tenants for property operating expenses and property taxes, increased by $13,039,000, or 49.8%, to $39,232,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $26,193,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio. In addition, recoveries from tenants increased because recoverable expenses increased. Recoveries from tenants were 87.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 92.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in recovery percentage compared to the prior year period reflects the impact of the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio in that Center Trust’s historical recovery rate was lower than Pan Pacific’s recovery rate. We expect that the recovery percentage will increase over time as occupancy is increased in the acquired assets.

 

Other income decreased by $1,294,000, or 26.6%, to $3,564,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $4,858,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease resulted principally from a reduction of interest income on our Plaza Escuela corporate note receivable which was repaid in the third quarter of 2002. This decrease was partially offset by interest income recorded on other notes receivable issued during 2003 related to property sales as well as interest on notes receivable we assumed upon the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio.

 

Property operating expenses increased by $11,017,000, or 63.2%, to $28,453,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $17,436,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This increase resulted primarily from our acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio. Property taxes increased by $5,550,000, or 50.4%, to $16,567,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $11,017,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in property taxes was also primarily the result of the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $7,143,000, or 31.7%, to $29,665,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $22,522,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This was primarily due to the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio.

 

Interest expense increased by $9,323,000, or 27.3%, to $43,517,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $34,194,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase was primarily the result of the debt we assumed in the Center Trust acquisition as well as amounts we borrowed on our revolving credit facility to repay Center Trust’s line of credit and to pay off certain notes payable. The increase was also a result of additional amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility to finance properties acquired during 2002. Interest expense also increased as a result of our issuance of $55,000,000, in aggregate principal amount, of senior notes in June 2002, our issuance of $100,000,000, in aggregate principal amount, of senior notes in December 2002 and


our issuance of $75,000,000, in aggregate principal amount, of senior notes in June 2003. The stated interest rates of 5.75%, 6.125% and 4.70% on the senior note issuances, respectively, are higher than our cost to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility which were paid down with the net proceeds of the notes offerings.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $2,785,000, or 36.4%, to $10,438,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $7,653,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This increase resulted primarily from increased staffing required as a result of the acquisition of Center Trust, annual compensation increases during 2003, accrued compensation for bonuses and costs associated with new corporate governance initiatives. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were 5.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 5.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

 

Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 of $12,466,000 reflects the operating results of seven of the eight non-strategic assets that were sold during the period. Included in this amount is gain on sale of $8,054,000. Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of $7,190,000 reflects the operating results of two of the eight non-strategic assets that were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and were owned in 2002 and nine non-strategic assets that were sold during the second half of 2002.

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002

 

Total revenue increased by $19,652,000, or 40.5%, to $68,118,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $48,466,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

 

Rental revenue, which includes base rent and percentage rent, increased by $15,268,000, or 40.5%, to $53,007,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $37,739,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in rental revenue resulted principally from the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio.

 

Recoveries from tenants, which represents reimbursements from tenants for property operating expenses and property taxes, increased by $4,631,000, or 51.2%, to $13,680,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $9,049,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio. In addition, recoveries from tenants increased because recoverable expenses increased. Recoveries from tenants were 89.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 93.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in recovery percentage compared to the prior year period reflects the impact of the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio in that Center Trust’s historical recovery rate was lower than Pan Pacific’s recovery rate. We expect that the recovery percentage will increase over time as occupancy is increased in the acquired assets.

 

Other income decreased by $273,000, or 16.6%, to $1,371,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $1,644,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease resulted principally from a reduction of interest income on our Plaza Escuela corporate note receivable which was repaid in the third quarter of 2002. This decrease was partially offset by interest income recorded on other notes receivable issued during 2003 related to property sales as well as interest on notes receivable we assumed upon the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio.

 

Property operating expenses increased by $3,556,000, or 58.7%, to $9,611,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $6,055,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This increase resulted primarily from our acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio. Property taxes increased by $1,974,000, or 53.6%, to $5,654,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $3,680,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in property taxes was also primarily the result of the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $2,631,000, or 34.2%, to $10,321,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $7,690,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This was primarily due to the acquisition of the Center Trust portfolio.


Interest expense increased by $3,083,000, or 25.9%, to $14,996,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $11,913,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase was primarily the result of the debt we assumed in the Center Trust acquisition as well as amounts we borrowed on our revolving credit facility to repay Center Trust’s line of credit and to pay off certain notes payable. The increase was also a result of additional amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility to finance properties acquired during 2002. Interest expense also increased as a result of our issuance of $100,000,000, in aggregate principal amount, of senior notes in December 2002 and our issuance of $75,000,000, in aggregate principal amount, of senior notes in June 2003. The stated interest rates of 6.125% and 4.70% on the senior note issuances, respectively, are higher than our cost to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility which were paid down with the net proceeds of the notes offerings.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased by $162,000, or 6.7%, to $2,243,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $2,405,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease resulted primarily from an increase in internal capitalized leasing costs, which is an offset to related general and administrative expenses, as well as a reduction in accrued compensation for bonuses. These decreases were partially offset by increased staffing required as a result of the acquisition of Center Trust and annual compensation increases during 2003. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were 3.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 5.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

 

No properties were sold in the three months ended September 30, 2003. Discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 of $4,133,000 reflects the operating results of two of the eight non-strategic assets that were sold during the first half of 2003 and were owned in 2002 and nine non-strategic assets that were sold during the second half of 2002.

 

Funds from Operations

 

The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in April 2002 (the “White Paper”) defines Funds from Operations as net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, “GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) on sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe that Funds from Operations (FFO) is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a real estate investment trust. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a real estate investment trust that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The term FFO was designed by the real estate investment trust industry to address this issue. We compute Funds from Operations in accordance with standards established by the White Paper. Our computation of Funds from Operations may, however, differ from the methodology for calculating Funds from Operations used by other equity REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to these other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income. FFO, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts that do not define it exactly as the NAREIT definition.

Cash Flows

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

 

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $43,624,000 to $107,719,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to $64,095,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in operating income due to the acquisition of Center Trust, an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities as well as the change in the decrease in prepaid expenses. This increase was offset by an increase in income from discontinued operations including the gain on sale thereon.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities increased by $179,547,000 to $103,691,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $75,856,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase was primarily the result of proceeds from the sale of real estate, the receipt of equity repayments from an unconsolidated entity, a decrease in acquisitions of and additions to properties and a decrease in funds held in escrow pending property acquisition offset by cash used in the acquisition of Center Trust and a decrease in collections of notes receivable.

 

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $247,569,000 to $207,824,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $39,745,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in notes payable payments, an increase in line of credit payments, a decrease in issuance of common shares and an increase in distributions paid. These increases were offset by an increase in line of credit proceeds and an increase in the issuance of senior notes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our total market capitalization at September 30, 2003 was approximately $2,679,983,000, based on the market closing price of our common stock at September 30, 2003 of $43.00 per share (assuming the conversion of 824,082 operating subsidiary units to common stock) and our debt outstanding of approximately $912,179,000 (exclusive of accounts payable, accrued expenses and financial instruments subject to mandatory redemption). As a result, our debt to total market capitalization ratio was approximately 34.0% at September 30, 2003. Our board of directors adopted a policy of limiting our indebtedness to approximately 50% of our total market capitalization.


However, our board of directors may from time to time modify our debt policy in light of current economic or market conditions including, but not limited to, the relative costs of debt and equity capital, market conditions for debt and equity securities and fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. Accordingly, we may increase or decrease our debt to market capitalization ratio beyond the limit described above.

 

In March 2003, we entered into a new $300,000,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity date of March 2006. At September 30, 2003, we had $62,000,000 drawn on our revolving credit facility leaving $238,000,000 available to borrow. At our option, amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility bear interest at either LIBOR plus 0.70% or a reference rate. The weighted average interest rate for short-term LIBOR contracts under our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2003 was 1.83%. We will continue to use our revolving credit facility to take advantage of select acquisition opportunities as well as to provide funds for general corporate purposes. In September 2003, we drew down $25,923,000 on our revolving credit facility to pay off the mortgage note on the Mineral King property and the construction loan on the Olympia Place development.

 

In June 2002, we issued $55,000,000 of 5.75% senior notes due June 29, 2007. In December 2002, we issued $100,000,000 of 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2013. In June 2003, we issued $75,000,000 of 4.70% senior notes due June 1, 2013. The net proceeds from these offerings were used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

 

We may in the future enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument; however we are not a party to any derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2003. Further, we do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative or trading purposes nor do we enter into energy or commodity contracts.

 

We have entered into certain related party transactions with executive officers and affiliates of the Company. Information on these related party transactions can be found in our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

We expect to make distributions from net cash provided by operations. Operating cash flows in excess of amounts to be used for distributions will be invested primarily in short-term investments such as collateralized securities of the United States government or its agencies, high-grade commercial paper and bank deposits or be used to pay down outstanding balances on our revolving credit facility, if any.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through our current working capital and net cash provided by operations. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to allow us to make the distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT. We also believe that the foregoing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

 

We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions and developments, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities and the use of net proceeds from the disposition of non-strategic assets. We also expect to use funds available under our revolving credit facility to finance acquisition and development activities and capital improvements on an interim basis.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

On September 30, 2002, Plaza Escuela Holding Co., LLC completed a financing transaction with an initial funding of $38,087,000, bearing interest at 6.8%, wherein we received a partial payoff of $36,754,000 on our note receivable of $44,349,000 on the Plaza Escuela property in Walnut Creek, California. The remaining balance of our note of $7,595,000 was converted to a 49% non-managing member interest in Plaza Escuela Holding Co., LLC, the entity that owns the property. In January 2003, we received an equity paydown of $3,990,000. In May 2003, we received an equity paydown of $800,000. In August 2003, we received an equity paydown of $1,000,000. Our remaining equity position of $1,805,000 continues to earn a preferred return of 12%. In addition, we are entitled to receive 25% of the operating cash flows from the property through November 2008. Proceeds from the equity paydowns and cash flow participation will be used primarily to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2003, the balance of the Plaza Escuela Holding Co., LLC loan was $41,635,000. The loan is secured by the property and is not guaranteed by us. We account for this joint venture under the equity method. This unconsolidated debt is one of two off-balance-sheet financings to which we are a party.

 

We are a 50% general partner of a joint venture that owns North Coast Health Center, a medical office building in Encinitas, California. During the second quarter of 2002, the joint venture entered into a loan agreement for $18,000,000, bearing interest at 7%, to purchase the building on the property. At September 30, 2003, the balance of the loan was $17,775,000. The loan is secured by the property and is not guaranteed by us. We account for this joint venture under the equity method. This unconsolidated debt is one of two off-balance sheet financings to which we are a party.

 

Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities

 

All of our indebtedness is disclosed in our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report. Our indebtedness outstanding at September 30, 2003, which includes regularly scheduled principal reductions, balloon payments, scheduled senior note redemptions and amounts due on our revolving credit facility, is as follows:

 

Year


   Amount

2003

   $ 1,400,000

2004

   $ 68,356,000

2005

   $ 13,172,000

2006

   $ 122,660,000

2007

   $ 133,413,000

2008

   $ 28,864,000

2009

   $ 114,473,000

2010

   $ 49,155,000

2011

   $ 157,342,000

2012

   $ 42,709,000

2013 and thereafter

   $ 181,000,000

 

Payments due in the year 2004 include senior note redemptions of $50,000,000. Payments due in the year 2006 include the balance drawn on our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2003 of $62,000,000 and senior note redemptions of $25,000,000. Payments due in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2013 include senior note redemptions of $55,000,000, $25,000,000, $25,000,000, $150,000,000 and $175,000,000, respectively. Payments due in 2013 also include property level bonds due of $6,000,000. With regard to the payments noted above, it is likely that we will not have sufficient funds on hand to repay these amounts at maturity. Therefore, we expect to refinance this debt either through additional debt financings secured by individual properties or groups of properties, by unsecured private or public debt offerings or by additional equity offerings.


Inflation

 

Substantially all of our leases provide for the recovery of real estate taxes and operating expenses we incur. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases or indexed escalations (based on the consumer price index or other measures) and percentage rent. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be substantially offset by expense reimbursements, contractual rent increases and percentage rent.

 

Our revolving credit facility bears interest at a variable rate, which will be influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, and will be sensitive to inflation.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk, which is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

As of September 30, 2003, we had $68,000,000 of outstanding floating rate debt under our revolving credit facility and our property secured bonds. In order to modify and manage the interest characteristics of outstanding debt and limit the effects of changes in interest rates on operations, we may use a variety of financial instruments. We were not a party to any hedging agreements with respect to our floating rate debt as of September 30, 2003. We do not enter into any transactions for speculative or trading purposes. We do not believe that our weighted average interest rate of 7.1% on our fixed rate debt is materially different from current fair market interest rates for debt instruments with similar risks and maturities. Additionally, we do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by our floating rate debt is material as of that date in relation to total assets of $1,879,797,000 and a market capitalization of $1,767,805,000 of our common stock and operating subsidiary units.

 

Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at the reasonable assurance level.

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
