PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

In April 2011, SL Green Realty Corp. (“we,” “SL Green” or the “Company”) acquired SITQ Immobilier, a subsidiary of Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, or SITQ’s, entire interest in 1515 Broadway Realty Corp. (“1515 Broadway”), thereby acquiring full ownership of the 1,750,000 square foot building. The transaction valued the consolidated interests at $1.234 billion. The purchase was funded with cash on hand, proceeds from the issuance of common stock by the Company through its “at-the-market” equity offering program, and the assumption of a $458.8 million first mortgage. This property, which was acquired through a joint venture with SITQ in May 2002, was previously accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures.

 

In January 2011, we purchased the City Investment Fund’s 49.9% interest in 521 Fifth Avenue (“521 Fifth”), thereby acquiring full ownership of the building. The transaction valued the consolidated interests at approximately $245.7 million, excluding $4.5 million of cash and other assets acquired. We assumed $140.0 million of mortgage financing in connection with this acquisition.

 

The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent what our financial position or results of operations would have been assuming the completion of these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2010 and for the period indicated, nor do they purport to project our financial position or results of operations at any future date or for any future period. These pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of SL Green Realty Corp.

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses of 1515 Broadway Realty Corp.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues and certain expenses is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain expenses. An audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues and certain expenses.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form 8-K filed by SL Green Realty Corp. and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s revenues and expenses.

Notes to Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses

December 31, 2010

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

1. Organization

 

1515 Broadway Realty Corp. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for Federal income tax purposes. The Company was formed by SL Green Private REIT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SLG 1515”) and the predecessor-in-interest of SITQ BST-REIT, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“SITQ 1515”). SLG 1515 is owned by SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SL Green OP”). SITQ 1515 is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec.

 

On May 15, 2002, the Company acquired an approximate 99.7% indirect fee ownership estate in the real property and improvements located at 1515 Broadway, New York, New York (the “Property”). The Property was acquired for approximately $483,500. The Company’s sole direct asset is its 99.9% membership interest in 1515 SLG Owner LLC which, through various entities, owns 99.8% of the Property, with the remaining 0.2% owned by the noncontrolling interest of the Company. The Property contains over 1.72 million rentable square feet. The Company currently does not intend to acquire other properties.

 

As a result of the loan modification more fully described in Note 3, pre-determined performance thresholds were exceeded in November 2005, thereby increasing SLG 1515’s economic interest in the Property to approximately 68.5%.

 

On April 27, 2011, SL Green Realty Corp. acquired SITQ 1515’s interest in the Property.

 

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Presented herein is the statement of revenues and certain expenses related to the operations of an office building located at the Property in Manhattan, New York.

 

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses have been prepared with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the acquisition of real estate properties.  Accordingly, the statements of revenues and certain expenses exclude depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, and asset management fees not directly related to the future operations.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated statements of revenues and certain expenses include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by the Company. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Minimum rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company establishes, on a current basis, a reserve for future potential losses, which may occur against deferred rent receivable and tenant receivables. The reserve is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of revenues and certain expenses.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to Federal income tax. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the

 

11



Table of Contents

 

1515 Broadway Realty Corp.

Notes to Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses

December 31, 2010

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

Company must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to Federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company may also be subject to certain state and local taxes. Under certain circumstances, Federal income and excise taxes may be due on its undistributed taxable income.

 

Pursuant to amendments to the Code that became effective January 1, 2001, we have elected, and may in the future, elect to treat certain of our existing or newly created corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRS. In general, a TRS of ours may perform non-customary services for our tenants, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. Our TRS recorded approximately $109 in Federal, state and local tax (benefit)/expense, of with $106 has been paid.

 

We follow a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the statements of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated statements of revenues and certain expenses and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3. Mortgage Note Payable

 

On December 22, 2009, the Company refinanced the Property with a $475,000 mortgage. The mortgage bore interest at a rate of 3.50% until March 22, 2010 when the rate became the greater of LIBOR plus 250 basis points or 3.50%. The term of the mortgage is five years, during which time interest and principal, amortizable over a period of 25 years, is payable monthly. As of December 31, 2010, the loan bore interest at 3.50%.

 

4. Rental Income

 

The Company is the lessor to tenants under operating leases with expiration dates ranging from 2011 to 2024. The minimum rental amounts due under the leases are generally either subject to scheduled fixed increases or adjustments. The leases generally also require that the tenants reimburse the Company for increases in certain operating costs and real estate taxes above their base year costs. Future minimum rents to be received over the next five years and thereafter for noncancelable operating leases in effect at December 31, 2010 are as follows:

As such the affiliate agreed to pay the Company fixed annual rent and additional rent with regard to the aforementioned Premises. For the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company recognized $1,893 of rental income from the affiliate.

 

6. Interim Unaudited Financial Information

 

The statement of revenues and certain expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the statements of revenues and certain expenses for this interim period has been included.  The results of interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.

 

7. Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date in which these consolidated statements of revenues and certain expenses were available for issuance on July 13, 2011.

 

On April 27, 2011, SL Green acquired SITQ 1515’s interest in the Property.
