Item 1. Business
General
Reckson Associates Realty Corp. was incorporated in September 1994 and
commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public
offering (the "IPO") on June 2, 1995. Reckson Associates Realty Corp.,
together with Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"),
and their affiliates (collectively, the "Company") was formed for the purpose of
continuing the commercial real estate business of Reckson Associates, its
affiliated partnerships and other entities ("Reckson"). For more than 35 years,
Reckson has been engaged in the business of owning, developing, acquiring,
constructing, managing and leasing suburban office and industrial properties
in the New York metropolitan area. Based on industry surveys, management
believes that the Company is one of the largest owners and operators of Class A
suburban office properties and industrial properties in the New York City
tri-state area (the "Tri-State Area"). The Company operates as a
fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment
Trust ("REIT"). As of December 31, 1996, the Company owned 110 properties
(the "Properties") (including three joint venture properties) encompassing
approximately 8.8 million rentable square feet, all of which are managed by the
Company. The Properties consist of 32 Class A suburban office properties (the
"Office Properties") encompassing approximately 4.4 million square feet, 76
industrial properties (the "Industrial Properties") encompassing approximately
4.4 million square feet and two 10,000 square foot retail properties. In
addition, as of December 31, 1996 the Company had invested approximately $50.9
million in certain mortgage indebtedness encumbering five Class A office
properties encompassing approximately 881,000 square feet (the "Mortgage Note
Investments"). As of December 31, 1996, the Company also owned or had
contracted to acquire approximately 140 acres of land in nine separate parcels
that may present future development opportunities.
The Office Properties are Class A suburban office buildings and are
well-located, well-maintained and professionally managed. In addition, these
properties are modern with high finishes or have been modernized to successfully
compete with newer buildings and achieve among the highest rent, occupancy and
tenant retention rates within their markets. The majority of the Office
Properties are located in six planned office parks and are tenanted primarily by
national service firms such as "Big Six" accounting firms, securities brokerage
houses, insurance companies and health care providers. The Industrial Properties
are utilized for distribution, warehousing, research and development and light
manufacturing/assembly activities and are located primarily in three planned
industrial parks developed by Reckson.
All of the Company's interests in the Properties, the Mortgage Note
Investments and land are held directly or indirectly by, and substantially all
of its operations relating to the Properties are conducted through, the
Operating Partnership. The Company controls the Operating Partnership as the
sole general partner and as of December 31, 1996, owned approximately 78% of
the Operating Partnership's outstanding units of limited partnership ("Units").
The Company seeks to maintain cash reserves for normal repairs,
replacements, improvements, working capital and other contingencies. The
Operating Partnership has established a credit facility (the "Credit Facility")
with a maximum borrowing amount of $150 million scheduled to mature on June 2,
1997. The Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with a number of
financial and other covenants on an ongoing basis and, under certain
circumstances, may be extended by the Operating Partnership for a period of one
year.
In April 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 3,000,000 shares
of Common Stock at a price of $30.50 per share (the "April 1996 Offering"). In
October 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 1,725,000 shares of
Common Stock at a price of $35.50 per share (the "October 1996 Offering"). Net
proceeds to the Company of approximately $86 million from the April 1996
offering and approximately $60 million from the October 1996 offering were to
make acquisitions of Properties and to re-pay borrowings under the Credit
Facility.
There are numerous commercial properties that compete with the Company in
attracting tenants and numerous companies that compete in selecting land for
development and properties for acquisition.
The Company's executive offices are located at 225 Broadhollow Road,
Melville, New York 11747 and its telephone number at that location is
(516) 694-6900. At December 31, 1996, the Company had 185 employees.
Recent Developments
Acquisition and Leasing Activity.
During 1996, the Company acquired or contracted to acquire approximately
$435 million of Class A suburban office and industrial properties encompassing
approximately 6.2 million square feet located in the Tri-State Area. In that
regard, the Company acquired one Class A suburban Office Property and 11
Industrial Properties encompassing approximately 187,000 and 856,000 square
feet respectively, located on Long Island. In February 1996, the Company
established its Westchester Division with the acquisition of a 935,000 square
foot Class A office portfolio and associated management and construction
operations for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $79 million. The
Company currently owns 11 Class A suburban Office Properties (six in one office
park) encompassing approximately 1.5 million square feet located in Westchester
County, New York. In October 1996, the Company established its Southern
Connecticut Division with the purchase of Landmark Square, a six building
office complex encompassing approximately 800,000 square feet located in
Stamford, Connecticut ("Landmark Square") for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $77 million. In addition, the Company has contracted to acquire
five Class A suburban office properties encompassing approximately 500,000
square feet located in Northern New Jersey (the "New Jersey Portfolio") and, in
connection with this acquisition,has established a Northern New Jersey Division.
Additionally, the Company has invested approximately $50.9 million in certain
mortgage indebtedness encumbering four Class A office properties on Long Island
encompassing approximately 750,000 square feet and one Class A office property
in New Jersey encompassing approximately 131,000 square feet. In addition, the
Company is under contract to purchase one office property encompassing 221,000
square feet and 16 industrial properties encompassing 1.3 million square feet.
Set forth below is a brief description of the Company's major acquisition
activity during 1996. All of these Properties are located in the Tri-State Area.
The Westchester Acquisition. During 1996, the Company acquired seven Class
A suburban office properties and a 60% joint venture interest in an eighth Class
A suburban office property (collectively, the "Westchester Properties")
encompassing an aggregate of approximately 935,000 square feet located in
Westchester County, New York, and associated management and construction
operations, from affiliates of Halpern Enterprises ("Halpern") for an aggregate
maximum purchase price of approximately $79 million (the "Westchester
Acquisition").
On February 22, 1996, six of the Westchester Properties encompassing
approximately 505,000 square feet (505 White Plains Road, Tarrytown, New York;
560 White Plains Road, Tarrytown, New York; 580 White Plains Road, Tarrytown,
New York; 235 Main Street, White Plains, New York; 245 Main Street, White
Plains, New York; and 2 Church Street, Ossining, New York), together with the
aforementioned management and construction operations, were acquired by the
Company for an aggregate maximum purchase price of approximately $48.7 million.
In that regard, as part of the Westchester Acquisition, the Company effectively
acquired third-party management contracts for approximately 800,000 square feet
of office space. The purchase price was funded by $29.0 million of borrowings
under the Credit Facility, the assumption of $9.4 million of mortgage debt and
the issuance of 307,606 units of limited partnership of the Operating
Partnership ("Units"). In accordance with the terms of the purchase contract,
each Unit was valued at $28.11. In addition, up to $1.7 million of the $48.7
million maximum purchase price (together with interest thereon) will be paid
to the selling Halpern entities within 60 days after the first anniversary of
the closing date, provided that the acquired Westchester Properties generate
minimum net operating income during the 12 month period following the closing
date.
On April 9,1996 The Company acquired the seventh Westchester Property
(660 White Plains Road, Tarrytown, New York) and the 60% joint venture interest
in the eighth Westchester Property (520 White Plains Road, Tarrytown, New York)
the purchase of interests in these two properties aggregated approximately $31
million. In addition, on February 22, 1996, the Company entered into a joint
venture arrangement with a Halpern affiliate that will provide development
advisory services to third-party clients. Also, on February 22, 1996, the
Company entered into a three-year employment and noncompetition agreement with
Jon L. Halpern, pursuant to which Mr. Halpern became an Executive Vice President
of the Company and the President of its newly-created Westchester Division.
In making the Westchester Acquisition, the Company has entered into a new
suburban market in the Tri-State Area while adhering to the strategies
historically implemented in acquiring its Long Island portfolio. In that regard,
the Company has historically emphasized "Anchor Acquisitions" in suburban office
parks (i.e., an acquisition of a portfolio of properties in a prime location
that provides the Company with a critical mass sufficient to create operating
efficiencies). The Westchester Acquisition afforded the Company the opportunity
to enter the Westchester market by acquiring a large portfolio of well-located
Class A office properties. In addition, five of the Westchester Properties are
located in the Tarrytown Corporate Center, one of Westchester's largest office
parks containing more than 1.2 million square feet of office space and a
444-room Marriott Hotel. Completed in 1972, Tarrytown Corporate Center was the
first office development undertaken in the Route 119 corridor in Westchester
County, an area that has developed into a prime commercial location. Major
tenants at the Center include Citibank, Ford Motor Credit, U.S. Philips, Xerox
and the Ciba-Geigy Corporation (which maintains its corporate headquarters at
the Center). Designed by the award-winning architectural firm of Warshauer,
Mellusi, and Warshauer, Tarrytown Corporate Center includes seven office
buildings encompassing approximately 991,000 square feet, of which the company
has acquired six of such buildings encompassing approximately 876,000 square
feet. Finally, as part of the Westchester Acquisition, the Company acquired
the Halpern organization's in-house expertise in management, leasing and
construction. The Halpern organization, which was in existence for over 25
years, was a full service commercial real estate company and one of
Westchester's largest owners and operators of office properties. Acquisition of
the Halpern organization enabled the Company to establish a significant local
presence which management believes is essential to the successful operation of
commercial real estate.
The Landmark Square Acquisition. In October 1996, The Company acquired
Landmark Square, a seven acre office complex containing six buildings and
encompassing 800,000 square feet located in Stamford Connecticut from the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company("Met Life") for approximately $77 million.
The Company financed the acquisition with a $50 million first mortgage loan from
Met Life which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.02% and has a ten year term
and proceeds from the October 1996 Offering. Landmark Square was constructed as
part of and is the focal point of a major revitalization development program by
the F.D.Rich Company in the 1970's and 1980's. Met Life obtained title to the
property as a result of a foreclosure of their property mortgage. An affiliate
of The F.D. Rich Company continued to manage Landmark Square until the time it
was purchased by the Company. Landmark Square is located on seven acres in the
heart of Stamford, contiguous to Stamford Town Center, a 900,000 square foot
upscale shopping mall. Landmark Square offers such amenities as a full service
athletic facility and the Landmark Club, one of Stamford's premier dining clubs.
The Company has commenced an approximately $11.5 million, five year capital
improvement program at the complex. Tenants at Landmark Square include Guiness
PLC/United Distillers, Crown Theatre, McKinsey & Co. and Fleet Bank. In
connection with the acquisition of Landmark Square the Company established its
Southern Connecticut Division and named F.D. ("Rick") Rich III, Managing
Director of that division and a Senior Vice President of the Company . Mr. Rich
has over 20 years experience in all facets of real estate development and
operations including operating Landmark Square for the last ten years. The
Landmark Square acquisition, the establishment of the Southern Connecticut
Division and employing Mr. Rich as well as his operations team is consistent
with The Company's strategy of making Anchor Acquisitions in new markets and in
establishing a local presence in each of the Key Suburban Markets in the
Tri-State Area.
New Jersey Portfolio Acquisition. In December 1996, The Company entered
into contract to acquire five Class A office buildings (the "New Jersey
Portfolio") encompassing approximately 500,000 square feet from certain
entities/associates with Robert Heller a New Jersey Developer for approximately
$56 million. Four of the properties are located in the Executive Hill Office
Park in West Orange, New Jersey. Executive Hill is a 32 acre office park that
contains four buildings with approximately 392,000 square feet and is located in
West Orange, New Jersey, adjacent to route 280, a major interstate highway.
Executive Hill was developed between 1971 and 1984 by various entities
associated with Robert Heller, a developer in Northern New Jersey. One of the
properties in the office park, 10 Rooney Circle, is a vacant 70,000 square foot
building that is undergoing a complete renovation including the reskinning of
its facade in granite, installation of two new lobbies and development of a new
entranceway. The Company anticipates that 10 Rooney Circle will be stabilized
within 12 months from its acquisition. The balance of the Executive Hill Office
Park is approximately 96% leased. Tenants at Executive Hill include Chase
Manhattan Bank, First Wausau, Computer Science Corporation, State Farm
Insurance Company and PNC Bank. The Company anticipates closing on these
properties at various times during 1997 to accommodate the seller's desire to
complete tax efficient transactions. The Company will finance the purchase of
these properties with a combination of cash and Units. In connection with the
acquisition, the Company established its Northern New Jersey Division at
Executive Hill and named Mark Schaevitz as its Managing Director. Mr. Schaevitz
who has acted as Chief Operating Officer, over Mr. Heller's real estate
operations for the past 15 years, has joined The Company along with certain key
members of his management team to lead the Company's efforts in Northern New
Jersey. The acquisition of the New Jersey Portfolio, the establishment of the
Northern New Jersey Division and retention of Mr. Schaevitz, and his management
team are consistent with the Company's strategy of developing a local presence
in the Key Suburban Markets in the Tri-State Area through Anchor Acquisitions.
The eleven Industrial Properties acquired by the Company during 1996 are
single story properties encompassing an aggregate of approximately 856,000
square feet. As of December 31, 1996, eight of these properties were 100% leased
to single tenants, one of these properties is 100% leased to two tenants and two
properties are vacant and currently under redevelopment.
Leasing Activity
During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company leased 181,854 square
feet at the Office Properties at an average effective rent (i.e., base rent
adjusted on a straight-line basis for free rent periods, tenant improvements and
leasing commissions) of $21.55 per square foot and 586,315 square feet at the
Industrial Properties at an average effective rent of $6.16 per square foot
(excluding, in both cases, Properties acquired subsequent to the 1995 IPO).
During 1996, percentage leased rates at these Office Properties increased from
90.4% to 92.3% and increased from 94.6% to 95.6% at these Industrial Properties.
Included in this leasing data are newly-executed leases for approximately 14,973
square feet of space at the Omni, the Company's largest office building.
In addition to the foregoing, during 1996 the Company leased an additional
298,974 square feet of space at the Office Properties acquired during 1996. As
of December 31, 1996, the percentage leased rate for the Office Properties
(including the Office Properties acquired during 1996) was 91%.
Financing Activities
The New Credit Facility. The Company has obtained a commitment for a
three-year $175 million unsecured credit facility from the Chase Manhattan Bank
and Union Bank of Switzerland (the "New Credit Facility"). It is expected that
upon syndication the New Credit Facility will provide for a maximum borrowing
amount of up to $225 million and the Company's ability to borrow thereunder will
be subject to the satisfaction of certain financial covenants, including
covenants relating to limitations on unsecured and secured borrowings, minimum
interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, a minimum equity value and a maximum
dividend payout ratio. In addition, it is expected that borrowings under the
New Credit Facility would bear interest at a floating rate equal to one, two,
three or six month LIBOR (at the Company's election) plus a spread ranging from
1.125% to 1.50%, based on the Company's leverage ratio. The New Credit
Facility would replace the Company's existing $150 million credit facility
which is schedule to mature on June 2, 1997 (the "Credit Facility").
Borrowing under the Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to
one-month LIBOR plus 1.75%. Consummation of the New Credit Facility
arrangement is subject to completion of the lenders' due diligence and
completion of documentation satisfactory to the Company and such lenders.
Other Financing Activities. In connection with the acquisition of
Landmark Square the Company obtained a $50 million first mortgage loan. The loan
has a 10-year maturity and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.02% for the term.
The Company has obtained a letter commitment from a financial
institution for a $58 million first mortgage loan to refinance the current
outstanding mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Omni, an approximately 575,000
square foot office complex located in the Company's Nassau West Corporate Center
Office Park. The loan will have a 10-year term and will bear interest at a
fixed rate to be determined based on the 10 year treasury rate plus 130 basis
points.
Stock Split
On February 12, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
two-for-one stock split, to be effected as a stock dividend distributable on
April 15, 1997 to stockholders of record on April 4, 1997.
Recent Offering
On March 12, 1997 the Company sold 4,945,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at $45.25 per share for an aggregate consideration of approximately $224
million before deducting offering expenses.
Corporate Strategies and Growth Opportunities
The Company's primary business objectives are to maximize current return
to stockholders through increases in distributable cash flow per share and to
increase stockholders' long-term total return through the appreciation in value
of its Common Stock. The Company plans to achieve these objectives by continuing
Reckson's corporate strategies and capitalizing on the internal and external
growth opportunities described below.
Corporate Strategies. Management believes that throughout its 35-year
operating history, Reckson has created value in its properties through a variety
of market cycles by implementing the operating strategies described below. These
operating strategies include the implementation of (I) a multi disciplinary
leasing approach that involves architectural design and construction personnel
as well as leasing professionals, (ii) innovative property marketing programs
such as the Executive Center business, which was established by Reckson to
provide "incubation space" for start-up companies as well as office space for
satellite offices of larger companies, (iii) a comprehensive tenant service
program and property amenities designed to maximize tenant satisfaction and
retention, (iv) cost control management and systems that take advantage of
economies of scale that arise from Reckson's market position and efficiencies
attributable to the state-of-the-art energy control system at many of the Office
Properties and (v) an acquisition and development strategy that is continuously
adjusted in light of anticipated changes in market conditions and that seeks to
capitalize on management's multidisciplinary expertise and market knowledge to
modify, upgrade and reposition a property in its market place in order to
maximize value.
The Company also intends to adhere to a policy of maintaining a Debt Ratio
(defined as the total debt of the Company as a percentage of the market value of
outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis) of less than 50%.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company's Debt Ratio was approximately 28.8%. This
calculation includes the Company's proportionate share of the debt encumbering a
joint venture property. This Debt Ratio is intended to provide the Company with
financial flexibility to select the optimal source of capital (whether debt or
equity) with which to finance external growth.
Growth Opportunities. The Company intends to achieve its primary
business objectives by applying its corporate strategies to the internal and
external growth opportunities described below.
Internal Growth. As the Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey and
Southern Connecticut suburban office and industrial markets continue to
improve, management believes the Company is well positioned to benefit from
rental revenue growth through: (i) contractual annual compounding 4% Base Rent
(i.e., gross rent excluding tenant payments on account of real estate tax,
operating expense escalations and base electrical charges) increases on
approximately 85% of existing leases at the Long Island Properties; (ii)
periodic contractual increases in Base Rent on existing leases at the
Westchester Properties, the New Jersey Properties and the Southern Connecticut
Properties; and (iii) the potential for increases to Base Rents as leases expire
as a result of continuing tightening of the office and industrial markets with
limited new supply.
External Growth. The Company seeks to acquire multi-tenant suburban Class
A office and industrial properties located in the Tri-State Area. Management
believes that the Tri-State Area presents opportunities to acquire properties
at attractive yields. The Company believes that its (i) capital structure, in
particular its New Credit Facility providing for a maximum borrowing amount of
up to $225 million, (ii) ability to acquire a property for Units of the
Operating Partnership and thereby defer the seller's income tax on gain, (iii)
operating economies of scale, (iv) relationships with financial institutions and
private real estate owners, and (v) fully integrated operations in four regional
Divisions, will enhance the Company's ability to identify and capitalize on
acquisition opportunities. The Company also intends selectively to develop new
Class A suburban office and industrial properties and to continue to redevelop
existing office and industrial properties as these opportunities arise. In the
near future the Company will concentrate its development activities on
build-to-suit industrial and Class A suburban office properties.
Environmental Matters
Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an
owner of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remidation of certain
hazardous or toxic substances on or in such property. These laws often impose
such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible
for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The cost of any
required remediation and the owner's liability therefore as to any property is
generally not limited under such enactments and could exceed the value of the
property and/or the aggregate assets of the owner. The presence of such
substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely
affect the owner's ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such
property as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of
hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, whether or
not such facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental
laws govern the removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos-containing
materials ("ACMs") when such materials are in poor condition, or in the event
of renovation or demolition. Such laws impose liability for release of ACMs
into the air and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of
real properties for personal injury associated with ACMs. In connection with
the ownership (direct or indirect), operation, management and development of
real properties, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of such
properties or as having arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or
toxic substances and, therefore, potentially liable for removal or remediation
costs, as well as certain other related costs, including governmental fines and
injuries to persons and property.
All of the Office Properties and all of the Industrial Properties have
been subjected to a Phase I or similar environmental audit after April 1,
1994 (which involved general inspections without soil sampling, ground water
analysis or radon testing and, for the Properties constructed in 1978 or
earlier, survey inspections to ascertain the existence of ACMs were
conducted) completed by independent environmental consultant companies
(except for 35 Pinelawn Road which was originally developed by Reckson and
subjected to a Phase 1 in April 1992). These environmental audits have not
revealed any environmental liability that would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business.
Item 2. Properties
General
As of December 31, 1996, on a pro forma basis giving effect to acquisition
of the New Jersey Portfolio, the Company owned 115 properties (including three
joint venture properties) encompassing 9.3 million square feet. These properties
consist of 37 Class A suburban office properties encompassing approximately 4.9
million square feet, 76 industrial properties encompassing approximately 4.4
million rentable square feet and two free-standing 10,000 square foot retail
properties. The rentable square feet of each property has been determined for
these purposes based on the aggregate leased square footage specified in
currently effective leases and, with respect to vacant space, management's
estimate. In addition, as of December 31, 1996, the Company owned or had
contracted to acquire approximately 140 acres of land in nine separate parcels
that may present future development opportunities.
Reckson has historically emphasized the development of large scale
office and industrial parks and approximately 78% of the Office Properties
(including the New Jersey Portfolio) and 63% of the Industrial Properties
are located in such parks (measured by rentable square footage). The
Company believes that owning properties in planned office and industrial
parks provides certain strategic advantages, including the following: (i)
certain tenants prefer being located in a park with other high quality
companies to enhance their corporate image, (ii) parks afford tenants certain
aesthetic amenities such as a common landscaping plan, standardization of
signage and common dining and recreational facilities, (iii) tenants may
expand (or contract) their business within a park, enabling them to centralize
business functions and (iv) a park provides tenants with access to other
tenants and may facilitate business relationships between tenants.
Also, as of December 31, 1996, the Company had invested approximately
$50.9 million in certain mortgage indebtedness encumbering four Class A office
properties on Long Island and one Class A office property in New Jersey
encompassing an aggregate of approximately 881,000 square feet.
Set forth below is a summary of certain information relating to the
Properties, categorized by office and industrial park, as of December 31, 1996
on a pro forma basis giving effect to the acquisition of the New Jersey
Portfolio.
Office Properties
General. As of December 31, 1996, on a pro forma basis giving effect to
the acquisition of the New Jersey Portfolio, the Company owned or had an
interest in 37 Class A suburban office properties that encompass approximately
4.9 million rentable square feet. As of December 31, 1996, these office
properties (including the New Jersey Portfolio but excluding a vacant property
currently under renovation) were 91% leased to approximately 525 tenants.
The Office Properties are Class A suburban office buildings and are
well-located, well-maintained and professionally managed. In addition, these
properties are modern with high finishes and achieve among the highest rent,
occupancy and tenant retention rates within their sub-markets. Twenty-five of
the 37 office properties(including the New Jersey Portfolio) are located in the
following six planned office parks: the 23 acre North Shore Atrium, the 32 acre
Huntington Melville Corporate Center, the 50 acre Nassau West Corporate Center,
the 29 acre Tarrytown Corporate Center, the seven acre Landmark Square and the
32 acre Executive Hill Office Park. The buildings in these office parks offer a
full array of amenities including health clubs, racquetball courts, sun decks,
restaurants, computer controlled HVAC access systems and conference centers.
Management believes that the location, quality of construction and amenities
as well as Reckson's reputation for providing a high level of tenant service
have enabled Reckson to attract and retain a national tenant base. The office
tenants include national service companies, such as "Big Six" accounting firms,
securities brokerage houses, insurance companies and health care providers.
The Long Island Office Properties are leased to national tenants, as well
as to local tenants. Leases on the Office Properties are typically written for
terms ranging from five to ten years and require (i) payment of a fixed gross
rental amount that excludes payments on account of real estate tax, operating
expense escalations and base electrical charges ("Base Rent"), (ii) payment of
a base electrical charge, (iii) payment of real estate tax escalations over a
base year, (iv) payment of compounded annual increases to Base Rent in lieu of
operating expense escalations (which the Company believes have historically
exceeded the annual increase in actual operating expenses), (v) payment of
overtime HVAC and electric and (vi) payment of electric escalations over a base
year. In virtually all leases, the landlord is responsible for structural
repairs. Renewal provisions typically provide for renewal rates at market rates
or a percentage thereof, provided that such rates are not less than the most
recent renewal rates.
The Westchester Properties, Landmark Square and the New Jersey Portfolio
are also leased to national tenants, as well as to local tenants. Leases are
typically for terms ranging from five to ten years and require (I) payment of
Base Rent, (ii) payment of a base electrical charge, (iii) payment of real
estate tax escalations over a base year, (iv) payment of periodic fixed
increases in Base Rent, (v) payment of operating expense escalations over a
base year, and (vi) payment of electric escalations over a base year. In
virtually all leases, the landlord is responsible for structural repairs.
Renewal provisions typically provide for renewal rates at market rate or a
percentage thereof, provided that such rates are not less than the most recent
renewal rates.
The following table sets forth certain information as of December 31,
1996 for each of the Office Properties and the New Jersey Portfolio.

Industrial Properties
General. As of December 31, 1996, the Company owned or had an
interest in 76 Industrial Properties that encompass approximately 4.4 million
rentable square feet. All but one of the Industrial Properties are located on
Long Island. As of December 31, 1996, the Industrial Properties were 96.8%
leased to approximately 160 tenants. Many of the Industrial Properties have been
constructed with high ceiling heights (i.e., above 18 feet), upscale office
building facades, parking in excess of zoning requirements, drive-in and/or
loading dock facilities, and other features which permit them to be leased for
industrial and/or office purposes.
The Industrial Properties are leased to national tenants as well as to
local companies. These tenants utilize the Industrial Properties for distribu-
tion, warehousing, research and development and light manufacturing/assembly
activities. Leases on the Industrial Properties are typically written for terms
ranging from three to seven years and require (I) payment of a Base Rent,
(ii) payments of real estate tax escalations over a base year, (iii) payments of
compounded annual increases to Base Rent and (iv) reimbursement of all
operating expenses. Electric costs are borne and paid directly by the tenant.
Certain leases are "triple net" (i.e., the tenant is required to pay in addition
to annual Base Rent, all operating expenses and real estate taxes). In virtually
all leases, the landlord is responsible for structural repairs. Renewal
provisions typically provide for renewal rents at market rates, provided that
such rates are not less than the most recent rental rates.
Approximately 63% of the Industrial Properties measured by square
footage, are located in three large scale planned industrial parks that were
developed by Reckson. They are (I) Vanderbilt Industrial Park, a 400-acre
industrial park containing 50 buildings with approximately 3.6 million square
feet.(ii) Airport International Plaza a 200-acre industrial park containing 32
buildings with approximately 1.4 million square feet, and (iii) County Line
Industrial Center, a 28-acre industrial park containing six buildings and
approximately one million square feet.
In addition to its industrial parks, as of December 31, 1996, the Company
owned 21 stand alone Industrial Properties. As of December 31, 1996, these
Properties were 96.7% leased to approximately 35 tenants.

The Option Properties
Six properties owned by Reckson (the "Reckson Option Properties") and
four properties in which Reckson owns a non-controlling minority interest (the
"Other Option Properties") and, together with the Reckson Option Properties,
the ("Option Properties") were not contributed to the Operating Partnership
upon completion of the IPO. However, the Operating Partnership was granted
10 year options to acquire interests in the Option Properties under the terms
and conditions described below. As of the date hereof, the Company had acquired
or contracted to acquire all but two of the Reckson Option Properties.
The two remaining Reckson Option Properties are comprised of 225
Broadhollow Road, Melville, New York, a 185,889 square foot suburban Class A
office property located in the Huntington Melville Corporate Center, and,
593 Acorn Street, Babylon, New York, a 39,551 square foot stand alone industrial
property both of which are managed by the Company.
The Operating Partnership has been granted options, exercisable over a
10 year period that commenced upon closing of the IPO, to acquire each of the
Reckson Option Properties and Reckson's ownership interest in the Other Option
Properties at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (I) a fixed price (the
"Fixed Price") and (ii) the Net Operating Income attributable to such Option
Property during the 12 month period preceding exercise of the option by the
Operating Partnership (multiplied by Reckson's percentage ownership interest in
the case of the Other Option Properties) divided by a capitalization rate of
11.5%; provided that, in no event shall the purchase price be less than the
outstanding balance of the mortgage debt encumbering the Option Property
(multiplied by Reckson's percentage ownership interest in the case of the Other
Option Properties) on the acquisition date. Net Operating Income is defined
generally for these purposes as gross income minus annual operating costs. The
portion of the purchase price not required to repay mortgage debt and other
transaction costs incurred in connection with the sale of such Option Property
shall be payable in Units. The fixed price for 225 Broadhollow Road and 593
Acorn Street is $21,242,000 and $878,100, respectively.
The Reckson partnerships that currently own the Reckson Option Properties
may sell any of these properties to a party other than the Operating
Partnership, provided that the selling entity provides the Company with 30-days
advance notice of such sale. Upon receiving such notice, the Company may then
elect to exercise the option to acquire the Reckson Option Property and, if
it so chooses, sell the property to such party.
In addition to the foregoing, in the event a sale of any Option Property to
a third party is consummated, the Operating Partnership will receive "Reckson's
Net After Tax Profit" from such sale. Reckson's Net After Tax Profit is defined
generally for such purposes as the product of (I) Reckson's percentage
ownership interest in the Option Property (100% in the case of Reckson Option
Properties) multiplied by (ii) the excess of the gross sales price over the
total of any outstanding mortgage or other encumbrance, the federal income tax
payable by the partners as a result of the sale, as well as other transaction
costs incurred in connection with the sale of such Option Property, including
transfer taxes, closing adjustments, brokerage commissions, legal fees and
accounting fees.
The terms of the options granted to the Operating Partnership with respect
to the Option Properties have not been based on appraisals and are not the
product of an arm's-length negotiation since members of the Rechler family
maintain an ownership interest in such Option Properties. However, management
believes that such terms are fair to the Company and a determination by the
Operating Partnership to exercise an option to acquire an interest in any Option
Property shall be subject to the approval of the Independent Directors and, with
respect to interests in the Other Option Properties, the approval of Reckson's
partners.

The Company has a 60% general partnership interest in the Omni Partnership. The
Company's proportionate share of the aggregate principal amount of the mortgage
debt on the Omni is $25.5 million.
<F2>
$26 million of this principal amount is attributable to a first mortgage loan
(the "First Mortgage Loan") and $6,580,000 to a borrowing under a tenant
improvement facility (the "TI Facility"). Borrowings under the TI Facility are
made under the same terms as the First Mortgage Loan. The Company has guaranteed
$15.6 million (60%) of the outstanding loan balance of the First Mortgage Loan
due during an initial term of two years, and $5.6 million thereof subsequent to
the initial two years. In addition, the Company has guaranteed 60% of the
outstanding borrowings under the TI Facility during such initial two year term
and, thereafter, 100% of such borrowings. Also, the Company has guaranteed the
payment of ground lease payments, real estate taxes and insurance.
<F3>
Under the terms of the loan, interest is normally payable at a variable rate per
annum equal to 1.5% above the 30-day LIBOR; however, prior to completion of the
IPO, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively
fixed the interest rate on the $27.2 million principal amount outstanding on the
date of the IPO during the term of the loan at no greater than 7.8%.

capitalized with the issuance to each of Donald Rechler and Roger Rechler of 50
shares of common stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. In addition, on
June 2, 1995 (the closing date of the IPO), the Company completed a concurrent
offering of 400,000 shares of common stock to members of the Rechler family at
the initial public offering price of $24.25 per share. The Company issued these
shares in reliance on an exception from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements of the Company and the combined financial statements of the
Reckson Group and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Overview and Background
The Reckson Group, the predecessor to the Company (the "Predecessor"), was
engaged in the ownership, management, operation, leasing and development of
commercial real estate properties, principally office andindustrial buildings,
and also owned certain undeveloped land located primarily on Long Island, New
York. On June 2, 1995, following completion of the IPO and the related formation
transactions (the "Formation Transactions"), the Company owned or had an
interest in 72 Properties and succeeded to the Reckson Group's real estate
business.
The Company owns all of the interests in the Properties through the
Operating Partnership or the Financing Partnership. At December 31, 1996, the
Company's portfolio of real estate properties included 32 Office Properties
containing approximately 4.4 million square feet, 76 Industrial Properties
containing approximately 4.4 million square feet and two retail Properties
containing 20,000 square feet.
Since the IPO, the Company has acquired or contracted to acquire
approximately $490 million of class A suburban office and industrial properties
encompassing approximately 7.1 million square feet located in the Tri-State
Area. Since the IPO, the Company has acquired five Class A suburban Office
Properties and 17 Industrial Properties encompassing approximately 547,000
and 1.5 million square feet, respectively, located on Long Island. In February
1996, the Company established its Westchester Division with the acquisition of
a 935,000 square foot office portfolio and associated management and
construction operations for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $79
million. The Company currently owns 11 Class A suburban Office Properties (six
in one office park) encompassing approximately 1.5 million square feet located
in Westchester County, New York. In October 1996, the Company established its
Southern Connecticut Division with the purchase of Landmark Square, a six
building office complex encompassing approximately 800,000 square feet located
in Stamford, Connecticut. ("Landmark Square") for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $77 million. In addition, the Company has contracted to acquire
five Class A suburban office properties encompassing approximately 500,000
square feet located in Northern New Jersey (the "New Jersey Portfolio") and, in
connection with this acquisition, has established a Northern New Jersey
Division. Additionally, the Company has invested approximately $50.9 million in
certain mortgage indebtedness encumbering four Class A office properties on Long
Island encompassing approximately 750,000 square feet and one Class A property
in New Jersey encompassing approximately 131,000 square feet. Through these
acquisitions and the Formation Transactions involving the Predecessor, the
Company increased total assets to $543.8 million, including real estate assets
of $488.1 million (net of accumulated depreciation) at December 31, 1996.
The market capitalization of the Company, based on the market value of the
15,559,682 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Units (based on a
share price of $42.25 as of December 31, 1996) and the $264 million (net of
minority partners' 40% interest in debt encumbering the Omni) of debt
outstanding at December 31, 1996, was $921.4 million. As a result, the Company's
total debt to market capitalization ratio at December 31, 1996 equaled 28.8%.
On February 12, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
two-for-one stock split, to be effected as a stock dividend distributable on
April 15, 1997 to stockholders of record on April 4, 1997.
Results of Operations
Comparability of Historical Financial Statements
Reckson management believes that in order for a meaningful analysis of the
financial statements to be made, certain transactions which occurred in 1993,
and the distribution of assets made in 1995, should be treated in a manner to
make each accounting period comparable. Accordingly, the revenues and expenses
of the Omni for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the period from January 1,
1995 to June 2, 1995 have been included in the following discussion as well as
the elimination of the revenues and expenses of certain properties not
transferred to the Company. The following sections discuss the results of
operations (excluding investment and other income, as adjusted and in
thousands):

</TABLE>
Income from Operations of $23.1 million for the year ended December 31,
1996 increased by $12.8 million as compared to $10.3 million for the 1995
period. The increase in base rents of $29.9 million and $1.9 million in
escalations and reimbursement is primarily attributable to additional square
footage leased and the acquisition of properties during the period from June 3,
1995 to December 31, 1996.
Property operating expenses increased $6.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 compared to the 1995 period. This is primarily as a result of
the Company operating a much larger portfolio of properties. Marketing, general
and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million for 1996, primarily as a
result of the Company's new operating structure and incremental cost of being a
public company. Interest expense decreased by $.4 million. The relatively small
decrease in interest cost is principally due to the repayment and restructuring
of debt in connection with the Formation Transactions.
Gross operating margin (defined as total operating revenues less total
operating expenses as a percentage of total operating revenues) for 1996 was
63.4% as compared to 62.9% in 1995. This increase reflects the Company's
ability to realize certain operating efficiencies as a result of operating a
larger portfolio in its established markets and as a result of the Company
establishing enhanced budgeting practices since the IPO.

</TABLE>
Income of $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased
by $11.1 million as compared to the loss of $.8 million for the 1994 period.
The increase in base rents of $6.9 million and $1.4 million in escalations and
reimbursements is primarily attributable to additional square footage leased and
the acquisition of properties during the period from June 3, 1995 to December
31, 1995.
Operating expenses decreased $1.0 million for the year ended December 31,
1995 compared to the 1994 period. Included in operating expenses for the 1994
period are certain repair and maintenance costs incurred in connection with
above average leasing activity. Marketing, general and administrative expenses
increased by approximately $.4 million for 1995, primarily as a result of the
Company's new operating structure and incremental cost of being a public
company. Interest expense decreased by $5.0 million principally due to the
repayment and restructuring of debt in connection with the Formation
Transactions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Summary of Cash Flows
In June 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering of
7,438,000 shares of its common stock at $24.25 per share (including a concurrent
offering of 400,000 shares and an over-allotment option of 918,000 shares). Net
proceeds to the Company, after underwriting discounts and other offering costs
were approximately $162 million. In conjunction with the Formation Transactions,
certain investors contributing interests in properties and or property
partnerships received Operating Partnerships units ("Units"). A Unit and a share
of the common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics in as
much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the
Operating Partnership. Holders of Units will have the opportunity beginning on
the second anniversary of the consummation of the IPO to have their Units
redeemed for cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of
redemption or, at the election of the Company, shares of common stock on a
one-for-one basis. Each time a Unit is redeemed, the Company's percentage
interest in the Operating Partnership will be proportionately increased.
The Company used the proceeds from the IPO and an initial draw of
$15 million on the Credit Facility (I) to repay certain mortgage indebtedness on
the Properties in the amount of approximately $121.1 million (including
repayment of $10 million of Omni's debt, prepayment costs and other related
expenses); (ii) to pay approximately $6.0 million of notes payable to partners
of certain of the property partnerships; (iii) to pay approximately $1.2 million
of financing fees related to the Credit Facility; (iv) to pay approximately
$16.0 million to purchase interests in property partnerships and or properties
from the non-continuing investors; (v) to acquire certain real estate properties
for approximately $25.9 million; and (vi) to establish working capital reserves.
In April 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 3,000,000 shares
of common stock, at a price of $30.50 per share. Net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $86 million were used to purchase certain of the Acquisition
Properties including the Westchester Properties and to repay borrowings under
the Credit Facility. In October 1996, the Company completed its second add-on
public offering of 1,725,000 shares of common stock at a price of $35.50 per
share. Net proceeds to the Company of approximately $60 million were used to
purchase certain of the Acquisition Properties including Landmark Square and to
repay borrowings under the Credit Facility.
During 1996, the Company made total borrowings under its $150 million
Credit Facility of $144.5 million and repaid $76 million of such borrowings.
Draws on the Credit Facility were used to purchase certain of the Acquisition
Properties, acquire land for future development, fund certain costs relating to
the Company's redevelopment properties and to fund tenant leasing costs. In
October 1996, in connection with the acquisition of Landmark Square, the
Company obtained a $50 million first mortgage loan, such loan has a term of 10
years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.02% per annum.
During 1996, the Company generated $39.4 million from operating activities.
Operating cash flows were used to fund tenant leasing costs and capital
expenditures, to pay dividends and for working capital.
During 1996, the Company purchased ten of the Acquisition Properties with
474,381 Units as partial consideration in the transactions.
On March 12, 1997 the Company sold 4,945,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at $45.25 per share for an aggregate consideration of approximately $224
million before deducting offering expenses.
Capitalization
The Company's indebtedness at December 31, 1996 totaled $264.0 million (net
of the minority partners' 40% interest in Omni's debt and including the
Company's share of joint venture debt) and was comprised of $108.5 million
outstanding under the Credit Facility and $155.5 million of mortgage
indebtedness with an average interest rate of approximately 7.60% and an average
maturity of approximately 4.5 years. Based on the Company's total market
capitalization of $921.4 million at December 31, 1996, (calculated at a $42.25
stock price at December 31, 1996 and assuming the conversion of the 3,381,505
Units) the Company's debt represented 28.8% of its total market capitalization.
The Credit Facility has a two year term, with a one year extension and
requires monthly payments of interest only, with the balance of all principal
and accrued interest due on June 2, 1997. The loan agreement provides for a
financing fee equal to 150 basis points on each draw. The loan agreement also
provides for unused commitment fees, over the term of the facility. At
December 31, 1996, the interest rate on the Credit Facility was equal to the one
month LIBOR (approximately 5.41% plus 175 basis points).
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Financing
Partnership which guarantee is secured by first mortgage liens on 64 properties
(the "Collateral Properties"). At December 31, 1996, the Collateral Properties
were required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 2.0.
Availability under the Credit Facility is determined by taking the quotient
resulting from (a) the cash flow attributable to the Collateral Properties
divided by a specified level, divided by (b) the highest of three alternative
interest rates (generally, the current interest rate on borrowings under the
Credit Facility, a specified percentage, or the prevailing interest rate on
five-year U.S. Treasury instruments plus a spread). The Company may increase its
availability under the Credit Facility by adding income producing properties to
the Collateral Properties. The Company is in compliance with all covenants
relating to the Credit Facility.
On February 22, 1996, the Operating Partnership amended and restated
the Credit Facility, pursuant to which the interest rate was reduced to 175
basis points over one-month LIBOR and the minimum debt service coverage ratio
was reduced to 1.6. In addition, the Operating Partnership was given the right
to convert outstanding borrowings at maturity to a five year mortgage loan at a
fixed rate equal to the then prevailing interest rate on five-year U.S. Treasury
instruments plus a spread, provided that certain specified conditions are
satisfied and no event of default exists.
On February 25, 1997, the Company obtained a commitment for a three-year
$175 million unsecured credit facility from Chase Manhattan Bank and Union Bank
of Switzerland (the "New Credit Facility"). It is expected that upon
syndication the New Credit Facility could provide for a maximum borrowing amount
of up to $225 million. The Company's ability to borrow thereunder will be
subject to the satisfaction of certain financial covenants, including covenants
relating to limitations on unsecured and secured borrowings, minimum interest
and fixed charge coverage ratios, a minimum equity value and a maximum dividend
payout ratio. In addition, borrowings under the New Credit Facility will bear
interest at a floating rate equal to one, two, three or six month LIBOR (at the
Company's election) plus a spread ranging from 1.125% to 1.50%, based on the
Company's leverage ratio. The New Credit Facility will replace the Company's
existing $150 million secured credit facility which is scheduled to mature on
June 2, 1997. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a floating
rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.75%. Consummation of the New Credit
Facility arrangement is subject to completion of the lenders' due diligence and
completion of documentation satisfactory to the Company and such lenders.
Historically, rental revenue has been the principal source of funds to pay
operating expenses, debt service and capital expenditures, excluding
non-recurring capital expenditures of the Company. In addition, construction,
management, maintenance, leasing and property management fees have provided
sources of cash flow. The Company expects to meet its short term liquidity
requirements generally through its net cash provided by operating activities
along with the New Credit Facility previously discussed. The Company expects to
meet certain of its financing requirements through long-term secured and
unsecured borrowings and the issuance of debt securities and additional equity
securities of the Company. The Company will refinance existing mortgage
indebtedness or indebtedness under the New Credit Facility at maturity or retire
such debt through the issuance of additional debt securities or additional
equity securities. The Company anticipates that the current balance of cash and
cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, together with cash
available from borrowings, will be adequate to meet the capital and liquidity
requirements of the Company in both the short and long-term.
In connection with the acquisition of Landmark Square, the Company
plans to incur approximately $11.5 million of capital improvements to refit the
building to portfolio standards. At December 31, 1996, no material amounts had
been incurred in connection with the refit of this building.
In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company
is required to make distributions to its stockholders of at least 95% of REIT
taxable income. The Company expects to use its cash flow from operating
activities for distributions to stockholders and for payment of expenditures.
The Company intends to invest amounts accumulated for distribution in short-term
investments.
Inflation
The office leases generally provide for fixed base rent increases or
indexed escalations. In addition, the office leases provide for separate
escalations of real estate taxes and electric costs over a base amount. The
industrial leases generally provide for fixed base rent increases, direct pass
through of certain operating expenses and separate real estate tax escalation
over a base amount. The Company believes that inflationary increases in
expenses will be offset by contractual rent increases and expense escalations
described above.
The Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate, which will be
influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, and is sensitive to
inflation.
Funds From Operations
Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") is an appropriate
measure of performance of an equity REIT. Funds from operations is defined by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income
or loss, excluding gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of
properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations does not
represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and is not indicative of cash available to fund
cash needs. Funds from operations should not be considered as an alternative to
net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. (See Selected Financial
Information). In March 1995, NAREIT issued a "White Paper" analysis to address
certain interpretive issues under its definition of FFO. The White Paper
provides that amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of
non-rental real estate assets are no longer to be added back to net income to
arrive at FFO.
<TABLE>
The Company adopted the new method beginning January 1, 1996. The following table presents the
Company's FFO calculation (in thousands):

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Reckson Associates Realty Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Reckson Associates Realty Corp. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1996 and for the period from June 3,
1995 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1995 of Reckson
Associates Realty Corp. and the related combined statements of operations,
owners' (deficit) and cash flows for the period January 1, 1995 to June 2, 1995
and for the year ended December 31, 1994 of the Reckson Group. We have
also audited the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a).
These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Reckson
Associates Realty Corp. at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated
results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
for the period June 3, 1995 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1995 of
Reckson Associates Realty Corp. and the combined results of operations and
cash flows for the period January 1, 1995 to June 2, 1995 and for the year
ended December 31, 1994 of the Reckson Group in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information required to be set forth therein.

Reckson Associates Realty Corp.
and
Reckson Group
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Reckson Associates Realty Corp. (the "Company") and the Reckson Group
(the "Predecessor") are engaged in the ownership, management, operation, leasing
and development of commercial real estate properties, principally office and
industrial buildings and also own certain undeveloped land (collectively, the
"Properties") located in the New York City tri-state area.
Organization and Formation of the Company
The Company was incorporated in Maryland in September 1994 and is the
successor to the operations of the Reckson Group. On June 2, 1995, the Company
completed an initial public offering of 6,120,000 shares of $.01 par value
common stock ("the Offering"). The Offering price was $24.25 per share resulting
in gross proceeds of $148,410,000. The Company also issued 400,000 shares in a
concurrent offering to the Rechler family resulting in $9,700,000 of additional
proceeds. On June 28, 1995, the underwriters exercised their over allotment
option and, accordingly, the Company issued an additional 918,000 shares of
common stock and received gross proceeds of $22,261,500. The aggregate proceeds
to the Company, net of underwriters' discount, advisory fee and offering costs
were approximately $162,000,000.
The following transactions occurred simultaneously with the completion of
the Offering:
The Company consummated various purchase agreements to acquire
certain properties and interests in partnerships which owned
properties from certain non-continuing investors. Pursuant to such
agreements the Company paid approximately $6,952,000 in cash to
non-continuing investors.
The Company became the sole general partner of Reckson Operating
Partnership L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") by contributing
substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering, in exchange for
an approximate 73% interest in the Operating Partnership. All
properties acquired by the Company are held by or through the
Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership executed various option and purchase
agreements whereby it issued 2,758,960 units in the Operating
Partnership ("Units") to the continuing investors and assumed
approximately $163,438,000 (net of the Omni mortgages) of
indebtedness in exchange for interests in certain property
partnerships, fee simple and leasehold interests in properties and
development land, certain business assets of the executive center
entities and 100% of the non-voting preferred stock of the management
and construction companies. In addition, the Operating Partnership
paid approximately $2,623,000 for costs associated with the transfer
of the properties and other interests.
The Operating Partnership contributed $17,500,000 to Omni Partners,
L.P. ("Omni"). Omni used $10,000,000 to repay mortgage indebtedness
encumbering Omni's property and $1,000,000 to repay a loan from its
existing partners. In addition, the remaining $27,214,000 balance of
the first mortgage was refinanced. In July 1995, Omni distributed
$6,500,000 to its minority partners to redeem a portion of their
limited partnership interest. In addition, the Operating Partnership
paid approximately $805,000 of financing costs, on behalf of Omni, in
connection with the refinancing of Omni's debt. As a result of these
transactions, the Operating Partnership has a 60% managing general
partner interest in Omni. In addition, the Operating Partnership will
receive a priority interest in the Omni's annual cash flow equal to
12% of $11,000,000 of the Operating Partnership's aggregate capital
contributions.
The Operating Partnership used a portion of the Offering proceeds and
the proceeds of certain new mortgage borrowings to repay
approximately $114,016,000 of indebtedness (excluding the Omni
indebtedness and including $1,500,000 of a line of credit). In
conjunction with such repayment, the Operating Partnership incurred
an extraordinary loss of approximately $6,022,000 (before minority
interest) consisting of approximately $6,355,000 in prepayment costs
and other fees, $1,742,000 of unamortized deferred financing fees
written off and net of a gain on partial forgiveness of a mortgage
obligation of approximately $2,075,000. In addition, the Operating
Partnership used $5,000,000 of the Offering proceeds to repay notes
to certain Predecessor partnerships.
The Operating Partnership borrowed $15,000,000 under a credit
facility (see Note 3) to repay certain mortgage indebtedness and to
fund a commercial real estate investment.
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Reckson Associates
Realty Corp. include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The
Company's investments in Reckson Management Group, Inc., Reckson
Construction Group, Inc. and Reckson Executive Centers, L.L.C. are accounted
for on the equity method. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
The minority interests at December 31, 1996 represent approximately a 22%
limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and a 40% minority
partners' interest in the Omni.
The Reckson Group was not a legal entity but rather a combination of
partnerships, an "S" corporation and affiliated real estate management and
construction corporations which were under the common control of Reckson
Associates (a general partnership) and affiliated entities. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in combination. The
Reckson Group used the equity method of accounting for investments in less than
50% owned entities and majority owned entities where control was temporary.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate
Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of ten to thirty years for buildings and improvements and
five to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements,
which are included in buildings and improvements, are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Deferred Costs
Lease fees and loan costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of
the related lease or loan. The Company incurred costs related to the Offering
which were charged to Stockholders' Equity.
Income Taxes
Prior to June 3, 1995 all of the Properties were owned by partnerships and
an S-corporation, whose partners and shareholders were required to include their
respective share of profits and losses in their individual tax returns.
The Company generally will not be subject to federal income taxes as long
as it qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). A REIT will
generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of income
that qualifies as REIT taxable income and to the extent that it distributes such
taxable income to its stockholders and complies with certain requirements. As a
REIT, the Company is allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of
distributions to stockholders and must distribute at least 95% of its taxable
income to qualify as a REIT. As distributions have exceeded taxable income, no
Federal income tax provision has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. State income taxes are not significant.
During 1996, the Company paid dividends of $1.78 per share all of which
was considered ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. During 1995,
the Company paid dividends of $1.33 per share of which approximately 38% was
ordinary income and 62% was a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
Revenue Recognition
Minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term
of the lease. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due are
included in deferred rents receivable on the accompanying balance sheets.
Contractually due but unpaid rents are included in tenant receivables on the
accompanying balance sheets. Certain lease agreements provide for reimbursement
of real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance costs and indexed
rental increases, which are recorded on an accrual basis.
The Company records interest income on investments in mortgage notes on
an accrual basis of accounting. The Company does not accrue interest on
impaired loans where, in the judgment of management, collection of interest
according to the contractual terms is considered doubtful. Among the factors
the Company considers in making an evaluation of the collectibility of interest
are, the status of the loan, the financial condition of the borrower, the value
of the underlying real estate and anticipated future events. Loan discounts are
amortized over the life of the loan using the constant interest method.
Construction Operations
Construction operations are accounted for utilizing the completed contract
method. Under this method, costs and related billings are deferred until the
contract is substantially complete. Estimated losses on uncompleted contracts
are recorded in the period that management determines that a loss may be
incurred.
Stock Options
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (FAS No. 123) requires use of option
valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock
options. Under APB 25, no compensation expense was recognized because the
exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price
of the underlying stock on the date of grant (see Note 5).
Per Share Data
Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Primary earnings per common
share are based upon the weighted average number of such shares and the assumed
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The assumed exercise of
outstanding stock options, using the treasury stock method, is not materially
dilutive and such amounts are not presented. The conversion of Units into common
stock (see Note 5) would not have a significant effect on per share amounts as
the Units share proportionately with the common stock in the results of the
Operating Partnership's operations.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.
2. Mortgage Notes Payable
At December 31, 1996, there are thirteen mortgage notes payable. Properties
with an aggregate carrying value at December 31, 1996 of approximately $112
million are pledged as collateral against the mortgage notes payable which are
non-recourse to the Company. The mortgage notes bear interest at rates ranging
from 6.25% to 9.25%, and mature between 1999 and 2006. During 1996, the Company
capitalized interest incurred on a certain mortgage note payable to fund certain
development costs in the amount of $159,546. Certain of the mortgage notes
payable are guaranteed by certain limited partners in the Operating Partnership.

3. Credit Facilities
On February 25, 1997, the Company obtained a commitment for a three-year
$175 million unsecured credit facility from Chase Manhattan Bank and Union Bank
of Switzerland (the "New Credit Facility") which upon syndication could provide
for a maximum borrowing amount of up to $225 million. The Company's ability to
borrow thereunder will be subject to the satisfaction of certain financial
covenants, including limitations on unsecured and secured borrowings, minimum
interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, a minimum equity value and a maximum
dividend payout ratio. In addition, borrowings under the New Credit Facility
will bear interest at a floating rate equal to one, two, three or six month
LIBOR (at the Company's election) plus a spread ranging from 1.125% to 1.50%,
based on the Company's leverage ratio. The New Credit Facility will replace the
Company's existing $150 million secured credit facility. Consummation of the
New Credit Facility arrangement is subject to completion of the lenders' due
diligence and completion of documentation satisfactory to the Company and such
lenders.
On June 2, 1995, the Company obtained a credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") from a financial institution in the amount of $150 million, which is
collateralized by a first mortgage on 64 properties (the "Collateral
Properties") with an aggregate carrying value at December 31, 1996 of
approximately $214 million. The Credit Facility has a two-year term, and
requires monthly payments of interest only at a rate equal to the one-month
LIBOR rate (approximately 5.41% on December 31, 1996) plus 175 basis points. The
Company pays a financing fee equal to 150 basis points on each draw. The loan
agreement also provides for unused commitment fees over the term of the
facility. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and accrued interest
are due on June 2, 1997. The Company has the option to extend the term of the
Credit Facility one year subject to an extension fee of 1.0% of the principal
indebtedness outstanding on the extension date. The Collateral Properties are
required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 2.0.
On February 22, 1996, the Operating Partnership amended and restated
the Credit Facility, pursuant to which the interest rate was reduced to 175
basis points over one-month LIBOR and the minimum debt service coverage ratio
was reduced to 1.6. In addition, the Operating Partnership has the right to
convert outstanding borrowings at maturity to a five-year mortgage loan at a
fixed rate equal to the prevailing interest rate on five-year U.S. Treasury
instruments plus a spread, provided that certain specified conditions are
satisfied and no event of default exists. In connection with the amendment and
restatement of the Credit Facility the Company wrote off approximately $1.2
million of loan costs. The Credit Facility contains a number of customary
financial covenants and provides for certain limitations (as defined therein) on
the amount of borrowings.
During 1996, the Company capitalized interest incurred on Credit Facility
borrowings to fund certain development costs in the amount of $800,434.
4. Land Leases
The Company leases, pursuant to noncancellable operating leases, the land
on which five of its buildings were constructed. The leases, which contain
renewal options, expire between 2018 and 2080. The leases contain provisions
for scheduled increases in the minimum rent and one of the leases additionally
provides for adjustments to rent based upon the fair market value of the
underlying land at specified intervals. Minimum ground rent is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of amounts
recognized over amounts contractually due is $1,676,000 and $1,434,000 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. These amounts are included in
accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.
Future minimum lease commitments relating to the land leases as of
December 31, 1996 are as follows (in thousands):

5. Stockholders' Equity
A Unit and a share of common stock have essentially the same economic
characteristics as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss and
distributions of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on the second anniversary
of the consummation of the Offering, Units may be redeemed for cash or, at the
election of the Company, for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.
The Company established a stock option plan (the "1995 Stock Option
Plan") for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers, directors
and other key employees. In addition, during 1996, the Company established a
stock option plan for non officers and new hires of the Company (the "1996
Employee Stock Option Plan"). As of December 31, 1996, 750,000 of the
Company's authorized shares have been reserved for issuance under the 1995
Stock Option Plan and 200,000 of the Company's authorized shares have been
reserved for issuance under the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan. Outstanding
options to purchase an aggregate of 617,584 shares have been granted at
exercise prices ranging from $24.25 per share to $39.50 per share under the 1995
Stock Option Plan and outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 87,000
shares have been granted at exercise prices ranging from $36.50 per share to
$39.50 per share under the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan. These options vest
in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the
date of grant. In addition, each of the five independent directors of the
Company have been granted options to purchase 4,000 shares at exercise prices
ranging from $24.50 per share to $31.125 per share (the market price on the date
of grant). The options granted to the independent directors were exercisable on
the date of grant. During 1996, 13,977 options were exercised resulting in
proceeds to the Company of approximately $338,000.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by FAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of FAS
No. 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for 1996 and 1995; respectively: risk-free interest rate of 5%;
dividend yields of 7.26% and 9.82%; volatility factors of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock of .134, and a weighted-average expected
life of the option of 5 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in
management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
<TABLE>
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro
forma information follows (in thousands except for earnings per share

The weighted average fair value of options granted for the period June 2,
1995 to December 31, 1995 and for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $.49 and
$1.71, respectively. In addition, there were 15,000 options at a weighted
average per share exercise price of $24.25 per option and 201,782 options at a
weighted average per share exercise price of $27.89 per option exercisable at
December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1996 ranged
from $24.25 per share to $39.50 per share. The weighted-average remaining
contractual life of those options is 9.1 years.
The Company made loans to certain senior officers to purchase Units at
market prices ranging from $24.25 per Unit to $43.875 per Unit based on the
market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the loan. The
loans bear interest at rates ranging between 8% and 8.5% and are secured by
the Units purchased. Such loans will be forgiven ratably at each anniversary of
employment over a four year period. The remaining loan balance of approximately
$250,000 and $350,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively has been
included as a reduction of paid in capital on the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
On February 12, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
two-for-one stock split to be effected as a stock dividend distributable on
April 15, 1997 to stockholders of record on April 4, 1997.
6. Related Party Transactions
The Company, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, provides management,
leasing and other tenant related services to the Properties. Certain executive
officers of the Company have continuing ownership interests in the
unconsolidated subsidiaries.
In connection with the IPO, the Company was granted options, exercisable
over a 10 year period to acquire six properties owned by Reckson (the "Reckson
Option Properties") and four properties in which Reckson owns a non-controlling
minority interest (the "Other Option Properties" and, together with the Reckson
Option Properties, the "Option Properties") at a purchase price equal to the
lesser of (I) a fixed purchase price and (ii) the Net Operating Income, as
defined, attributable to such Option Property during the 12 month period
preceding the exercise of the option dividend by a capitalization rate of 11.5%,
but the purchase price shall in no case be less than the outstanding balance of
the mortgage debt encumbering the Option Property on the acquisition date.
During 1996, the Company made construction loan advances to fund certain
redevelopment and leasing costs relating to one of the Other Option Properties.
At December 31, 1996, advances due the Company is approximately $2,940,000.
Such amount bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand.
During 1996, the Company acquired three of the Reckson Option Properties
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $26 million. In connection
with the purchase of such Option Properties the Company issued 135,614 Units at
prices ranging from $32.75 per Unit to $37.00 per Unit as partial consideration
in the transactions. Such Units were issued to certain members of management
and entities whose partners include members of management.
7. Commercial Real Estate Investments
During the period from June 3, 1995 to December 31, 1995 the Company
acquired four office properties encompassing 360,000 square feet and five
industrial properties encompassing 543,000 square feet for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $54.4 million.
During 1996, the Company acquired one office property encompassing
187,000 square feet and 11 industrial properties encompassing 856,308 square
feet on Long Island for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50
million.
In February 1996, the Company acquired eight office properties in
Westchester County, New York, encompassing 935,000 square feet for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $79 million. In addition, during
1996, the Company acquired three office properties (including one joint venture
property) located in Westchester County encompassing 547,494 square feet for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $13.5 million.
In October 1996, the Company purchased Landmark Square, a six building
office complex encompassing approximately 800,000 square feet located in
Stamford, Connecticut for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $77
million.
In December 1996, the Company contracted to acquire five Class A
suburban office properties encompassing approximately 500,000 square feet
located in Northern New Jersey for a purchase price of approximately $56
million.
In addition, the Company has invested approximately $50.9 million in
certain mortgage indebtedness encumbering four Class A office buildings on
Long Island encompassing approximately 750,000 square feet and one Class A
office building in New Jersey encompassing approximately 131,000 square feet.
8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosures of estimated fair value at December 31, 1996 were
determined by management, using available market information and appropriate
valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market
data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions
and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair
value amounts.
Cash equivalents and variable rate debt are carried at amounts which
reasonably approximate their fair values.
Mortgage notes payable have an estimated aggregate fair value which
approximates its carrying value. Estimated fair value is based on interest
rates currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar
terms and remaining maturities.
9. Rental Income
The Properties are being leased to tenants under operating leases. The
minimum rental amount due under the leases are generally either subject to
scheduled fixed increases or indexed escalations. In addition, the leases
generally also require that the tenants reimburse the Company for increases in
certain operating costs and real estate taxes above base year costs.

earnings to fixed charges.
