Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1999 and 1998
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
HQ Global Workplaces, Inc. (formerly OmniOffices, Inc.), and
subsidiaries (the "Company") is engaged in the business of
providing business outsourcing services including business centers
and related telecommunications, secretarial, and office support
services. The Company operates 154 business centers located
throughout the United States and abroad.
On August 25, 1997, the Company was formed pursuant to the Asset
Purchase Agreement between OmniOffices Group, Inc. ("Seller") and
CarrAmerica Acquisition Sub, Inc. ("Buyer"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of CarrAmerica Realty Corporation ("Parent").
Subsequent to the acquisition, the Buyer was renamed OmniOffices,
Inc.
The 1997 predecessor financial statements include the combined
accounts of 43 subchapter S Corporations (the "S-Corporations")
under the common control of the Company. The S-Corporations were
engaged in similar business activities, except for The Travel
Desk, Inc. which operates as a travel agency and accounted for
less than 10% of revenues. On April 1, 1997, the S Corporations
were merged into a new corporation, "OmniOffices Group, Inc."
(roll-up transaction), and the existing shareholders in the
previous S Corporations received a prorata share in the new
Company. With effect from April 1, 1997, the financial statements
have been presented on a consolidated basis, including OmniOffices
Group, Inc. and Travel Desk, Inc. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
In 1999 and 1998, the Company acquired 19 and 70 franchised HQ
Business Centers (HQ), respectively, which brought the Company's
total business centers owned and franchised to 232 as of December
31, 1999. The Company's consolidated statements of operations
include the operating results of the acquired entities from their
respective acquisition dates.
In 1999, the Company legally changed its name to HQ Global
Workplaces, Inc.
(B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany
accounts and transactions. Investments in the other companies that
the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise
significant influence over operating and financial policies are
accounted for using the equity method.

(FORMERLY OMNIOFFICES, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1999 and 1998
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(C) ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(D) STOCK/UNIT OPTION PLANS
The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, which established a new
method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements
with an entity's employees. The new method is a fair value based
method rather than the intrinsic value based method prescribed by
the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING
FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES. SFAS No. 123 allows entities to
retain the current approach set forth in APB No. 25 for
recognizing stock-based compensation expense in the basic
financial statements. Entities electing to apply the provisions of
APB No. 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net
earnings and earnings per share as if the fair value based method
had been used. The Company continues to apply the provisions of
APB No. 25 for purposes of measuring compensation cost and follows
the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.
(E) ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs
amounted to approximately $3,092, $2,952, $645 and $780 for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the period from August 25,
1997 to December 31, 1997, and the period from January 1, 1997 to
August 25, 1997, respectively.
(F) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives: furniture and fixtures - seven years;
office equipment - five years; leasehold improvements - the
shorter of the estimated useful life or the life of the respective
lease.
The Company reviews its property and equipment for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair
value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1999 and 1998
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(G) INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair
value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted
for as purchases. Goodwill is amortized on the straight-line basis
over the estimated period benefited of 30 years. Other intangible
assets include the fair value of leases assumed, capitalized
development costs and acquisition costs, and are amortized on the
straight-line basis over the period benefited, using the term of
the leases for fair value of leases assumed and development costs
and 30 years for acquisition costs.
The Company assesses the recoverability of these intangible assets
by determining whether the balance can be recovered over its
remaining life through undiscounted future operating cash flows of
the operations acquired. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is
measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. The assessment of the
recoverability of intangible assets will be impacted if estimated
future operating cash flows are not achieved. As of December 31,
1999, management believes no impairment is indicated.
(H) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company's predecessor operated through a number of S
Corporations prior to August 25, 1997 and as a result the income
tax liability was the responsibility of the individual
shareholders.
(I) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company, at December 31, 1999 and 1998 had balances in various
operating accounts and certificates of deposit. The Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(J) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of the following financial instruments
approximates fair value because of their short-term maturity; cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses (see note 6 regarding long-term debt).

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(K) RENTAL EXPENSE
The Company recognizes base rental expense straight-line over the
terms of the respective leases. The Company records accrued lease
costs representing the amount that straight-line rental expense
exceeds rents paid under the lease agreements.
(L) DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain
financing and are being amortized over the terms of the respective
loan on a basis which approximates the interest method.
(M) CAPITALIZED ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company capitalizes acquisition and development costs under
SFAS No. 67, ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS AND INITIAL RENTAL OPERATIONS OF
REAL ESTATE PROJECTS. The Company amortizes the acquisition costs
on a straight-line basis over 30 years and the development costs
on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease.
(N) ESCROW DEPOSIT OBLIGATIONS
Escrow deposit obligations are monies placed in escrow accounts,
as a result of business acquisitions. These escrow accounts were

</TABLE>
On August 27, 1998, the Company entered into an unsecured credit
agreement, guaranteed by an affiliated company, providing for an
aggregate availability of up to $200 million, consisting of a 3-year,
$200 million revolving credit facility and available letters of credit.
The credit facility bears interest at either the higher of the prime
rate or the Federal Funds Rate, or an interest rate equal to 90 basis
points above the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate, LIBOR, and is
due in August of 2001. The Company has predominantly elected interest
rates equal to the LIBOR plus 90 basis points. The credit facility
requires a facility fee equal to .20% per annum on the aggregate
commitments and a letter of credit fee ranging from .55% to .80% per
annum on undrawn issued letters of credit, both payable quarterly. The
credit facility contains certain covenants including a restriction of
further indebtedness, a restriction of the amount of dividends payable,
and restrictions on changes of control. As of December 31, 1999, the
Company was in compliance with all such covenants (See Note 14). The
credit agreement also includes available letters of credit totaling the
aggregate amount of $20.0 million, of which $10.8 million were
outstanding as of December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1999, the Company
had unused availability of $48.7 million under this credit agreement.
The fair market value of the Company's long-term debt approximates the
carrying value, because the current rates are variable or approximate
rates currently available to the Company.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable
income during the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies
in making this assessment and believe such items are sufficient to
realize the deferred tax assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1999 and 1998
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
At December 31, 1999, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards
for federal income tax purposes of approximately $11,391 which are
available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, through 2019.
In addition, the Company has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards
of approximately $66 which are available to reduce future regular income
taxes, if any, over an indefinite period.
(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is named as a defendant in various actions arising out of
normal conduct of business, including claims relating to commercial
transactions and employment matters. While the ultimate resolution of
these lawsuits, investigations and claims cannot be determined,
management does not expect that these matters will have a material
adverse impact on the results of operations or financial position of the
Company.
The Company currently is involved in litigation with two stockholders of
the Company involving the conversion of approximately $111 million of
debt previously loaned by its Parent into stock of the Company. The
Company and Parent initiated this litigation by filing a complaint
seeking a declaratory judgment that the terms of the debt conversion were
fair, after these two shareholders threatened to challenge the terms of
the conversion, claiming that the conversion price utilized, and the
methods by which the conversion price was agreed upon between the Company
and its Parent, were not fair to the Company or these shareholders. The
two shareholders filed counterclaims against the Company, its Parent, and
the board of directors of the Company, seeking a judgment declaring the
conversion void or voidable, or in the alternative compensatory and
punitive damages.
Although the Company believes that the two shareholders' claims are
without merit and that the Company and its Parent will ultimately prevail
in their actions against the two shareholders, there can be no assurance
that the court will not find the conversion price to have been unfair and
declare the conversion void, which would have the effect of diluting the
Parent's equity interest in the Company, or award the two shareholders
compensatory and punitive damages. However, even if the two shareholders
were successful in their claims, the Company does not believe that such a
result would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.
(11) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company established a 401(k) savings plan (the "Plan") available to
all employees aged 21 years or older. Employees may contribute up to 15%
of their pre-tax income to the Plan up to federal limits in 13 different
investment accounts. The Company matched 50% of the first 4% contributed
by each employee with one year of service and over 1,000 hours worked in
the preceding year. The Company made a matching contribution of $395 for
the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company may also make a
discretionary contribution to the plan to all employees active as of
December 31 with at least one year of service and over 1,000 hours
worked. There were no discretionary contributions made by

nonvoting restricted stock units ("stock units") and the grant of 400,000
nonvoting common stock options. The Class B convertible nonvoting common
stock is convertible to nonvoting common stock. The options vest ratably
over a five-year period. The restricted stock units vest ratably over a
nine-year period.

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
The following is a summary of activity for the various stock options and
units:
(a) Restricted Stock Units
During 1998, 120,000 stock units were granted and issued under
the Plan, and $267 and $89 was recognized as compensation
expense for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The stock units are subject to a put option, by
the holder, for all vested units after April 1, 2001, with the
price to be determined by a valuation of the related shares.
(b) Class B Convertible Nonvoting Stock
In addition, in 1998 options for 300,000 shares of Class B
convertible nonvoting stock were granted with exercise prices
of 100,000 shares at $25 per share, 100,000 at $35 per share,
and 100,000 at $45 per share, respectively. At December 31,
1999, 60,000 shares are vested.
(c) Nonvoting Common Stock
A summary of the activity in the Company's nonvoting common
stock options as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 follows:

Under SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, the Company
is permitted to continue accounting for the issuance of stock options in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, which generally does not require
recognition of compensation expense for option grants unless the exercise
price is less than the market price on the date of grant. If the Company
had recognized compensation cost for the "fair value" of the option
grants to employees under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the pro forma
financial results for the year ended December 31, 1999 would have been as
follows:

The pro forma impact takes into account options granted since January 1,
1998 and is likely to increase in future years as additional options are
granted and amortized ratably over the vesting period. The
weighted-average fair value of options granted during 1999 and 1998 were
$8.93 and $4.47, respectively. This fair value was estimated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the market price at date of
grant and the following weighted-average assumptions:

(14) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 20, 2000, the Company executed an agreement and plan of merger
with Reckson Service Industries, Inc. ("RSI"). Pursuant to the merger
agreement, Vantas Incorporated ("Vantas"), an 82%-owned subsidiary of
RSI, will be merged with and into the Company. Vantas is engaged in
providing business outsourcing services including business centers
and related business support services. The merged company will retain the
name HQ Global Workplaces, Inc. and management believes the merged
company will become the world's largest workplace solutions provider.
As a result of the transaction, the Company's shareholders will receive
cash in an amount equal to $380 million, less any amounts necessary to
pay off indebtedness of the Company's existing credit agreement at the
time of the merger and will retain approximately 19% interest in the
merged entity.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the shareholders and Board of Directors of OmniOffices (UK) Limited
We have audited the Group financial statements, appearing on pages 3 through
16, of OmniOffices (UK) Limited and subsidiaries. The Group financial
statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these Group financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the aforementioned OmniOffices (UK) Limited Group financial
statements presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of OmniOffices (UK) Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended December 31, 1998 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom.
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom vary in certain
significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. Application of generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States would have affected results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended December 31, 1998 and
shareholders' equity as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, to the extent
summarized in the note 21 of the group financial statements.

NOTES
(FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS)
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in
dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the
company's non-statutory financial statements.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The non-statutory financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards and
under the historical cost accounting rules.
As the shareholders of the company are based in the United States of
America, the directors have decided to include within these non
statutory accounts a UK/US GAAP reconciliation which reconciles both
the loss for the period and shareholders' funds at the balance sheet
as reported within the statutory accounts of the company prepared
under UK companies act legislation and accounting standards to the
amounts which would have resulted if the non-statutory financial
statements had been prepared using the United States of America's
generally accepted accounting principles. This reconciliaton is set
out in Note 21.
The financial information set out above does not constitute the
company's statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 1999.
Statutory accounts for the year ended have reported on those
accounts; their reports were unqualified and did not contain a
statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
CONSOLIDATION
The group accounts comprise the consolidated accounts of Omni Offices
(UK) Limited and its subsidiaries drawn up to 31 December.
GOODWILL
Goodwill arising on acquisitions, representing the excess of purchase
price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, is capitalised.
Goodwill is amortised to nil by equal annual instalments over 20 years
beginning in the first full year of operation.
TURNOVER
Turnover, which excludes value added tax and intra-group sales,
represents income from goods and services provided during the period.
LICENCES
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, net
of anticipated disposal proceeds, over the useful economic life of that
asset as follows:

NOTES (continued)
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is provided by the group to write off the costs of the
estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets over their estimated
useful economic lives as follows:
Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance
Plant and machinery - 10% straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 10% straight line
Equipment - 10% straight line
No depreciation is provided in the year of acquisition except for motor
vehicles.
It is the group's practice to maintain its freehold properties in a
continued state of sound repair and to extend and make improvements
thereto from time to time. Accordingly the directors consider that the
lives of these properties and residual values are such that their
depreciation is insignificant.
INVESTMENTS
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for
diminution in value.
OPERATING LEASES
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a
straight line basis over the lease term.
DEFERRED TAXATION
Provision is made for deferred taxation using the liability method to
take account of timing differences between the incidence of income and
expenditure for taxation and accounting purposes except to the extent
that the directors consider that a liability to taxation is unlikely to
crystallise.
2 TURNOVER
The whole of the turnover and profit before taxation is attributable to
the provision of office space and services. All of the group's turnover
arises in the UK.

20 POST BALANCE SHEET EVENT
On 21 January 2000, CarrAmerica Realty Corporation announced a merger
agreement between affiliate HQ Global Workplaces, Inc and Vantas
Incorporated, the executive office suites subsidiary of FrontLine
Capital Group. It is expected that following the merger FrontLine
Capital Group will own up to an 81% interest in the company, with
CarrAmerica owning the remaining 19%. The transaction is scheduled to
close on or before 30 April 2000.
21 RECONCILIATION TO GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN THE
UNITED STATES
The Group prepares its consolidated accounts in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United Kingdom
which differ in certain material respects from US GAAP. The significant
differences relate principally to the following items and the
adjustments necessary to restate net income (loss) and shareholders'
equity in accordance with US GAAP are shown below.
(A) DEFERRED TAXATION
Under UK GAAP a provision is made for deferred taxation only when
there is a reasonable probability that the liability will arise in
the foreseeable future. Under US GAAP, deferred taxation is provided
on a full liability basis on all temporary differences, as defined in
SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The income tax benefit under US GAAP for the year ended December 31,
1999 was a deferred benefit resulting primarily from net operating
loss carryforward benefits generated in 1999. No income tax benefit
was generated in 1998. The tax benefit differs from the amounts
computed by applying the UK statutory rate of 30 percent to pretax US
adjusted income as a result of the following:
1999 1998
Computed expected tax benefit
(1,618,800) (197,400)
Nondeductibility of goodwill
192,000 120,600
Increase in valuation allowance
1,097,100 59,100
Nondeductible US GAAP adjustments
89,700 17,700
------------- -----------
Total (240,000) -
============= ===========
Net deferred tax asset at 31 December 1999 for US GAAP totaled Lira
240,000, net of a total valuation allowance of Lira 1,156,200. There
is no net deferred tax asset for US GAAP purposes for 1998.
Management believes that the Company will have sufficient future
taxable income to make it more likely than not that the net deferred
tax asset will be realized.
(B) GOODWILL
Under UK GAAP, following the adoption of FRS 10 - "Goodwill and
Intangible Assets" in the current financial year, goodwill arising
after 31 March 1998 is capitalized and amortized through the profit
and loss account over periods, not exceeding 20 years, considered
acceptable under UK GAAP. For UK GAAP the Group has amortized
goodwill over 20 years.
Under US GAAP goodwill is capitalized and amortized by charges
against income over a period not exceeding 40 years. Consistent with
the accounting policies of the Group's Parent CarrAmerica Realty
Corporation ("Parent") and based on an assessment of the useful live
of the goodwill at the time of acquisition by the Group's parent,
goodwill is amortized over 30 years for both 1998 and 1999 for US
GAAP purposes. Under US GAAP, Parent and the Group evaluate the
recoverability of goodwill annually. In making such evaluation, the
parent and the Group compares certain financial indicators such as
expected undiscounted future revenues and net cash flows to the
carrying amount of goodwill. Impairment losses, if any, are measured
as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over estimated fair
market value. The Group has recognized no impairment losses in 1999
or 1998.
Goodwill amortization under UK GAAP at 31 December 1999 is Lira
953,000 and under US GAAP is Lira 637,000, the difference has an
effect of increase reported income by Lira 316,000 (1998 - decrease
in reported net income of Lira 402,000.
(C) DEPRECIATION OF BUILDINGS
Under UK GAAP, buildings are not considered depreciable fixed assets,
but are depreciable under US GAAP. At 31 December 1999, depreciation is
calculated as (pound)132,000 (1998 - (pound)59,000), based on the cost
of the buildings depreciation over a 30 year life.
(D) STRAIGHT-LINE RENT
Under UK GAAP, rent shall be reported as income over the lease term as
it becomes receivable according to the provisions of the lease.
However, if the rentals vary from a straight-line basis, the income
shall be recognised on a straight-line basis. The same provision
applies for US GAAP reporting purposes. However, for UK GAAP purposes
the straight-line period is calculated until the rent will be reviewed.
For US GAAP purposes the straight-line period is calculated over the
length of the lease term.
Straight-line rent under UK GAAP at 31 December 1999 is (pound)645,000
and under US GAAP is (pound)812,000, the difference of which has an
effect of decreasing reported income by (pound)167,000.

Under UK GAAP, the consolidated cash flow statements are presented in
accordance with UK Financial Reporting Standards No. 1 (FRS 1). The
statement prepared under FRS 1 present substantially the same
information as that required under SFAS No. 95. Under US GAAP,
however, there are certain differences from UK GAAP with regard to
classification of items within the cash flow statement and with
regard to the definition of cash.
Under SFAS No. 95 cash and cash equivalents include cash and
short-term investments with original maturities of three months or
less. Under FRS 1, cash comprises cash in hand and at bank and
overnight deposits, net of bank overdrafts.
Under FRS 1, cash flows are presented separately for operating
activities, returns on investments and servicing of finance,
taxation, capital expenditures and financial investments,
acquisitions and disposals, dividends paid to the company's
shareholders, management of liquid resources and financing. SFAS No.
95 cash flows are reported as results from operating, investing and
financing activities.
Cash flows under FRS 1 in respect of interest received, interest paid
and taxation would be included within operating activities under SFAS
No. 95.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements:
(1) On January 21, 2000, VANTAS agreed to merge with HQ. This transaction is
expected to be funded with approximately $350 million in bank debt and
$187.4 million of third party equity. As part of the transaction Carr
will receive approximately $237 million in cash and approximately 19% of
equity in HQ-NEWCO. RSI and the third party equity will own
approximately 50% and 31%, respectively, of HQ-NEWCO, once the remaining
VANTAS common shareholders will receive approximately $33.4 million for
the redemption of their 16% interest in VANTAS. Simultaneously with the
merger approximately $142.9 million of existing HQ debt and
approximately $108.95 million of existing VANTAS debt will be retired.
As a result of the merger, HQ-NEWCO pro forma balance sheet and
statements of operations reflects the consolidation of VANTAS and HQ.
All necessary eliminations have been recorded.
(2) Represents the ownership value in HQ-VANTAS of Carr (19%) and the
minority shareholder (31%) of approximately $133.8 million and $187.4
million, respectively.
(3) The VANTAS pro forma results of operations for the year ended December
31, 1999 were based on historical results of operations of VANTAS as
adjusted for acquisitions. See Schedule I for more detail.
(4) The HQ pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31,
1999 were based on historical results of operations of HQ as adjusted
for acquisitions. See Schedule II for more detail.
(5) Elimination of interest expense associated with approximately $142.9
million of existing HQ debt and approximately $108.95 million of
existing VANTAS debt that will be retired.
(6) To record interest expense associated with the new debt obtained of
approximately $225 million at an interest rate of LIBOR +350 basis
points (9.5%) and approximately $125 million at an interest rate of 13%.
Additionally as part of the obatining debt financing the HQ-NEWCO will
issue warrants valued at approximately $50.6 million, which are being
amortized into interest expense over the eight year debt term.
(7) Amortization expense on goodwill associated with VANTAS and HQ merger,
as if the merger occurred on January 1,1999. Goodwill is being amortized
over a 30 year period based on HQ-NEWCO's assessment of the significant
barriers to entry due to the rapid consolidation in the executive suites
business and the continuing value of the HQ trademark. The goodwill
adjustment represents amortization for the year which were not included
in the historical results.
(8) Adjustment reflects a reduction in general and administrative expenses.
In connection with the merger HQ-NEWCO management believes it will
realize cost savings related to (a) a reduction in the number of (i)
VANTAS corporate administrative and support employees, (ii) termination
of area district managers and client service specialists, (b) the
combination of overlapping support and administrative systems as well as
the elimination of rent, marketing, travel and entertainment expenses.
