PART 1
Item 1. Business
THE COMPANY
General
CarrAmerica Realty Corporation is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT). We focus on the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of office properties, located primarily in selected markets across the United States. As of December 31, 2002, we owned greater than 50% interests in 260 operating office buildings and two office buildings and one residential property under construction. The 260 operating office buildings contain a total of approximately 20.3 million square feet of net rentable area. The two office buildings under construction will contain approximately 70,000 square feet of net rentable area. The stabilized operating buildings (those in operation more than one year) in which we owned a controlling interest as of December 31, 2002 were 92.3% leased. These properties had approximately 1,050 tenants. As of December 31, 2002, we also owned minority interests (ranging from 15% to 50%) in 36 operating office buildings and two buildings under construction. The 36 operating office buildings contain a total of approximately 4.9 million square feet of net rentable area. The two office buildings under construction will contain approximately 608,000 square feet of net rentable area. The stabilized operating buildings in which we owned a minority interest as of December 31, 2002 were 92.3% leased.
We were organized as a Maryland corporation on July 9, 1992. We or our predecessor, The Oliver Carr Company (OCCO), have developed, owned and operated office buildings in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area for more than 40 years. Our experienced staff of approximately 780 employees, including about 470 on-site building employees, provides a broad range of real estate services. Our principal executive offices are located at 1850 K Street, NW, Washington, DC 20006. Our telephone number is 202-729-1700. Our web site can be found at www.carramerica.com.
Business Strategy
Our primary business objectives are to achieve long-term sustainable per share earnings and cash flow growth and to maximize stockholder value by acquiring, developing, owning and operating office properties primarily in markets throughout the United States that we believe exhibit strong, long-term growth characteristics. We believe we utilize our knowledge of our core markets to evaluate market conditions in order to maintain strategic flexibility and determine whether those conditions favor acquisition, development or disposition of assets. During the last five years, we have actively deployed capital between acquisitions and development in order to create a portfolio with strong long-term growth prospects.
Our principal segment of operations is real estate property operations, which consist primarily of commercial property ownership. Approximately 95.4% of our operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were associated with our real estate property operations. Other business activities, including development and property management services, are included in other operations.
Local Market Focus
We focus our acquisition and development activity in U.S. markets that possess favorable long-term growth characteristics.
We have established a local presence in each of our existing markets by acquiring and/or developing a critical mass of properties. This local presence is maintained through continuing investment and development activity and relationships established by our Market Managing Directors.
Activities in each of the markets in which we own property are overseen by a Market Managing Director. Our Market Managing Directors are responsible for maximizing the performance of our properties in their respective markets, ensuring that we are consistently meeting the needs of our customers, identifying new growth opportunities and maintaining active relationships with real estate brokers. Because they meet with our customers and local brokers on a regular basis, the Market Managing Directors have extensive knowledge of local conditions in their respective markets and are invaluable in building our local operations and investment strategies.

As a result of the ongoing weak economic climate, the real estate markets have been materially affected. The sustained lack of job growth has reduced demand for office space and overall vacancy rates for office properties have increased in most of our markets. In reviewing various outlooks for the economy, we believe that the vacancy rates will not improve in any material fashion until at least 2004. During 2002, our markets weakened significantly and our operations in those markets were adversely impacted. The occupancy in our portfolio of stabilized operating properties decreased to 92.3% at December 31, 2002 compared to 95.3% at December 31, 2001 and 97.4% at December 31, 2000. Market rental rates have declined in most markets from peak levels and we believe there will be additional declines in some markets in 2003. Rental rates on space that was re-leased in 2002 decreased an average of 12.1% in comparison to rates that were in effect under expiring leases.
Flexible Investment Strategy
We have established a set of general guidelines and physical criteria to evaluate how we allocate our capital resources among investments, including acquisition, disposition and development opportunities. Our capital allocation decisions are driven by real estate research, which focuses on variables such as the economic growth rate, the composition of job growth and the office space supply and demand fundamentals of a particular market.
Acquisitions
From time to time, we have been very active in acquiring office properties. During 2002, we acquired five operating properties totaling almost 900,000 rentable square feet for approximately $216.1 million, including assumed debt. We will continue to selectively pursue acquisitions in our markets where attractive opportunities exist, particularly when pricing yields make acquisitions of existing properties attractive in comparison to new property development. However, competition for available properties and unattractive yields may limit our acquisition activities in 2003.
Dispositions
We also may dispose of assets that become inconsistent with our long-term strategic or return objectives. We may then redeploy the proceeds from the dispositions into other office properties, or use them to fund development operations or to support other corporate needs. We also may contribute properties that we own to joint ventures with third parties.
3
Development
Development of office properties is a component of our growth strategy. We believe that long-term investment returns resulting from properties we develop should generally exceed those from properties we acquire, without the assumption of significantly increased investment risks inherent in development properties. We seek to control development risks by:
* | Employing extensively trained and experienced development personnel; |
* | Avoiding the assumption of entitlement risk in conjunction with land acquisitions; |
* | Entering into guaranteed maximum price construction contracts with seasoned and credible contractors; |
* | Focusing on pre-leasing space and build-to-suit opportunities with our customer network; and |
* | Analyzing the supply and demand characteristics of a market before commencing inventory development in that market. |
In the current environment, we have reduced our speculative development activities significantly and we are now primarily focused on the development of build-to-suit, substantially pre-leased projects and managing projects for third parties. Our research-driven development program enables us to tailor our development activities in each market, from inventory development, build-to-suit projects and acquiring and holding land for future development.
Financing
We manage our capital structure to reflect a long-term investment approach, generally seeking to match the stable return nature of our assets with a mix of equity and various debt instruments. We mainly use fixed rate debt instruments in order to match the returns from our real estate assets. We also utilize variable rate debt for short-term financing purposes or to reduce the risk that fixed rates may overstate our long-term costs of borrowing if assumed inflation or growth in the economy implicit in higher fixed interest rates do not materialize. At times, our mix of variable and fixed rate debt may not suit our needs. At those times, we may enter into interest rate swaps, forward interest rate options or interest rate options in order to assist us in managing our debt mix. We could either hedge our variable rate debt to give it a fixed interest rate or hedge fixed rate debt to give it a variable interest rate, depending upon the interest rate environment we perceive from time to time.
Stock Repurchases
Our Board of Directors has authorized us to spend up to $400.0 million to repurchase our common stock, preferred stock and debt securities, excluding the 9.2 million shares repurchased from Security Capital Group, Incorporated (Security Capital) in November 2001 and our preferred stock redemption of 4.0 million shares in September 2002, which were separately approved. Since the start of this program in mid-2000 through December 31, 2002, we have acquired approximately 10.1 million of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $289.0 million. Additionally, during 2002, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of our preferred stock for approximately $45.5 million, in addition to the 4.0 million shares we redeemed in September 2002 for $100.0 million. We continue to monitor market conditions and other alternative investments in order to evaluate whether repurchase of our securities represents an appropriate investment.
Joint Ventures
Joint venture arrangements provide us with opportunities to reduce investment risk by diversifying capital deployment and enhancing returns on invested capital from fee arrangements. We principally utilize these arrangements on projects characterized by large dollar-per-square foot costs and/or when we desire to limit capital deployment in certain of our markets. For example, in August 2000, we consummated a joint venture with the New York State Teachers Retirement System. The transaction allowed us to further our business strategy of increasing returns on our invested capital and to recycle capital into and out of markets based on market dynamics. We
4
received approximately $249.6 million in cash from the transaction at closing. In June 2001, the joint venture obtained third-party financing, and we received $77.9 million of the financing proceeds.

Development Activity
During 2002, we placed in service projects with approximately 114,000 rentable square feet of office space that were previously under development. The total cost of these projects was approximately $15.8 million. We expect that the first year stabilized unleveraged return on this square footage will be approximately 8.5%. As of December 31, 2002, we had approximately 70,000 square feet of office space under construction in two projects that we wholly owned. Our total investment in these projects is expected to be $9.5 million. Through December 31, 2002, we had expended $7.4 million or 77.9% of the total expected investment for these projects. In conjunction with an office property development project through a joint venture, we are also developing a residential property. Total project costs for the residential property are expected to be $19.9 million of which $5.4 million had been expended as of December 31, 2002.
Development of properties for others has become a more significant part of this segment of our business. This includes development of properties for joint ventures in which we are partners and for unaffiliated parties.
As of December 31, 2002, we also had approximately 608,000 rentable square feet of office space under construction in two projects in which we own minority interests. These projects are expected to cost approximately $188.3 million. Our total investment in these projects is expected to be approximately $57.7 million. Through December 31, 2002, approximately 53.7% or $101.2 million of the total project costs had been expended, of which our portion was $31.3 million.

HQ Global Workplaces, Inc.
In 1997, we began making investments in HQ Global Workplaces, Inc. (HQ Global), a provider of executive office suites. On June 1, 2000, we, along with HQ Global, VANTAS Incorporated (VANTAS) and FrontLine Capital Group (FrontLine), consummated several transactions including (i) the merger of VANTAS with and into HQ Global, (ii) the acquisition by FrontLine of shares of HQ Global common stock from us and other stockholders of HQ Global, and (iii) the acquisition by VANTAS of our debt and equity interests in OmniOffices (UK) Limited and OmniOffices LUX 1929 Holding Company S.A. We received $377.3 million in cash in connection with these transactions. In addition, $140.5 million of debt which we had guaranteed was repaid with a portion of the cash proceeds. Following the transaction, we owned approximately 16% of the equity of HQ Global on a diluted basis and our investment had a carrying value of $42.2 million.
FrontLine, the majority stockholder of HQ Global, announced in October 2001 that HQ Global was in default with respect to certain covenant and payment obligations under its senior and mezzanine term indebtedness, was in a forbearance period with HQ Global lenders and was actively negotiating with those lenders. In November 2001, FrontLine disclosed that it had recognized an impairment in the value of intangible assets relating to HQ Global due to HQ Globals trend of operating losses and its inability to remain in compliance with the terms of its debt arrangements. Based on these factors, our analysis of the financial condition and operating results of HQ Global (which deteriorated significantly during 2001 as the economic slowdown reduced the demand for temporary office space, particularly from technology-related tenants) and the losses of key board members and executives by HQ Global, particularly in the last half of 2001, we determined in the fourth quarter of 2001, that our investment in HQ Global was impaired. We recorded a $42.2 million impairment charge, reducing the carrying value of our remaining investment in HQ Global to zero.
On March 13, 2002, HQ Global filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws. During 1997 and 1998, to assist HQ Global as it grew its business, we provided guarantees of HQ Globals performance under four office leases. To our knowledge, all monthly rental payments were made by HQ Global under two of these leases through January 2002, and rental payments under the other two leases were made through February 2002. In connection with the June 2000 merger transaction, FrontLine agreed to indemnify us against any losses incurred with respect to guarantees of the four office leases. However, on June 12, 2002, FrontLine also filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws, and therefore it is unlikely that we will recover any resulting losses from FrontLine under this indemnity.
In the course of its bankruptcy proceedings, HQ Global has filed motions to reject two of these four leases. One lease is for space in San Jose, California. This lease is for approximately 22,000 square feet of space at two adjacent buildings and runs through October 2008. Total aggregate remaining lease payments under this lease as of February 1, 2002 were approximately $6.2 million (approximately $0.7 million of which was payable in 2002); however, our liability under this guarantee was limited to approximately $2.0 million. We reached an agreement with the landlord of this lease under which we paid $1.75 million in full satisfaction of the guarantee in January 2003. We recognized this expense in 2002.
The second lease that was rejected by HQ Global is a sublease for space in downtown Manhattan. This lease is for approximately 26,000 square feet of space and runs through March 2008, with total aggregate remaining lease payments as of February 1, 2002 of approximately $5.4 million (approximately $0.8 million of which was payable in 2002). In June 2002, we received a demand for payment of the full amount of the guarantee. However, we believe that we have defenses to payment under this guarantee available to us and joined with HQ Global in filing suit on July 24, 2002 in HQ Globals bankruptcy proceedings asking the bankruptcy court to declare that the lease was terminated by the landlord of the sublease not later than February 28, 2002. On July 26, 2002, the landlord under the sublease filed suit in federal court in New York seeking payment from us under this guarantee. In light of our defenses and these proceedings, we have not accrued any expense relating to this guarantee; however, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the pending litigation or that we will not incur expense or be required to make cash payments relating to this guarantee up to the full amount of the guarantee. As of December 31, 2002, we had not made any payments under this guarantee.
HQ Global has not filed a motion seeking to reject the remaining two leases that we have guaranteed, although it could do so in the future. Even if the leases are not rejected, we may ultimately be liable to the lessors for payments due under the leases. In one case, the lease is for approximately 25,000 square feet of space in midtown Manhattan, and our liability is currently capped at approximately $0.5 million, which liability reduces over
6
the life of the lease until its expiration in September 2007. As of December 31, 2002, we have not accrued any expense related to or made any payments under this guarantee.
The remaining lease is for space in San Mateo, California. This lease is for approximately 19,000 square feet of space and runs through January 2013, with total aggregate remaining lease payments as of March 1, 2002 of approximately $10.4 million (approximately $0.6 million of which was payable in 2002). We initially recognized an expense of $0.4 million under this guarantee in the first quarter of 2002 based on a tentative agreement with HQ Global under which HQ Global would not reject this lease obligation and we would fund HQ Globals operating losses at this location for a limited period of time. Due to deteriorating conditions in the local commercial real estate market, HQ Global subsequently determined that the tentative agreement was not in its best interest. HQ Global indicated to us that it intended to reject this lease unless its rent was reduced to current market rates. As an interim measure, we entered into an agreement with HQ Global as of June 30, 2002 to fund operating losses at this location up to an aggregate amount of $130,000 in exchange for HQ Global forbearing from rejecting this lease until September 15, 2002, or if it obtained from the bankruptcy court an extension of time within which to reject leases, November 1, 2002. Because the bankruptcy court has since twice extended the time period within which HQ Global may reject this lease to May 9, 2003, we have twice extended the existing forbearance agreement in exchange for funding operating losses up to an additional aggregate amount of $245,000. As a result of our efforts to mitigate our exposure under this guarantee, we entered into agreements with HQ Global in January 2003 under which HQ Global assigned its interest as a tenant in this lease to us and we in turn subleased the space back to HQ Global at current market rates. These agreements remain subject to approval by both the bankruptcy court and the landlord under the lease. In addition, these agreements will not be enforceable if HQ Global fails to successfully reorganize and emerge from the bankruptcy proceedings. There can be no assurance that the necessary approvals will be granted, that material changes to the agreements will not be required to gain approvals, or that HQ Global will successfully reorganize and emerge from the bankruptcy proceedings. We increased our provision for loss under this guarantee to $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2002 and this continues to represent the amount we have determined to be our likely exposure under this guarantee as of December 31, 2002. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be required to further increase our provision or make cash payments related to this guarantee in future periods up to, in the aggregate, the full amount of the guarantee. As of December 31, 2002, we had not made any payments under this guarantee.
Financing Activity
In January 2002, we issued $400.0 million of senior unsecured notes. The notes bear interest at 7.125% per annum payable semi-annually beginning on July 15, 2002. The notes mature on January 15, 2012. The notes are unconditionally guaranteed by CarrAmerica Realty, L.P., one of our subsidiaries.
On May 8, 2002, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America, N.A. (both rated A+ by Standard & Poors), hedging $150.0 million of senior unsecured notes due July 2004. We receive interest at a fixed rate of 7.2% and pay interest at a variable rate of six-month LIBOR in arrears plus 2.72%. The interest rate swaps mature at the same time the notes are due and qualify for accounting purposes as fair value hedges.
In November 2002, we issued $50.0 million of 5.261% and $175.0 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes. The notes mature on November 30, 2007. The interest on the notes is payable semi-annually beginning May 30, 2003. All the notes are unconditionally guaranteed by CarrAmerica Realty, L.P.
In conjunction with the issuance of the $175.0 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes, in November 2002, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, N.A. and Goldman Sachs & Co. (all rated A+ by Standard & Poors). We receive interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% and pay interest at a variable rate of six-month LIBOR in arrears plus 1.405%. The interest rate swaps mature at the same time the notes are due and qualify as fair value hedges for accounting purposes.
As of December 31, 2002, 74.3% of our debt carried a fixed rate of interest and 25.7% is subject to a variable rate of interest, including the debt effectively converted to a variable rate though the use of interest rate swap agreements.
During 2002, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of our preferred stock for approximately $45.5 million, redeemed 4.0 million shares of our preferred stock for $100.0 million. We also repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock for approximately $35.9 million.

Risk Factors
In addition to the other information in this document, you should consider carefully the following risk factors in evaluating an investment in our securities. Any of these risks or the occurrence of any one or more of the uncertainties described below could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the performance of our business.
Our Performance is Subject to Risks Associated with Real Estate Investment
We are a real estate company that derives most of its income from the ownership and operation of office buildings. There are a number of factors that may adversely affect the income that our properties generate, including the following:
* | Economic Downturns. Downturns in the national economy, or in regions or localities where our properties are located, generally will negatively impact the demand for office space and rental rates. |
* | Oversupply of Office Space. An oversupply of space in markets where we own office properties would typically cause rental rates and occupancies to decline, making it more difficult for us to lease space at attractive rental rates. |
* | Competitive Properties. If our properties are not as attractive to tenants (in terms of rent, services or location) as other properties that are competitive with ours, we will lose tenants to those properties or could have to reduce our rental rates to compensate for that disparity. |
* | Renovation Costs. In order to maintain the quality of our office buildings and successfully compete against other properties, we periodically have to spend money to repair and renovate our properties. |
* | Tenant Risk. Our performance, liquidity and financial condition depend on our ability to collect rent from our tenants. While no tenant in our portfolio accounted for more than 5% of our base rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002, our financial position may be adversely affected by financial difficulties experienced by a major tenant, or by a number of smaller tenants, including bankruptcies, insolvencies or general downturns in business. |
* | Reletting Costs and Uncertainties. As leases expire, we try to either relet the space to an existing tenant or attract a new tenant to occupy the space. In either case, we likely will incur significant costs in the process. In addition, if market rents have declined since the time the expiring lease was entered into, the terms of any new lease signed likely will not be as favorable to us as the terms of the expiring lease, thereby reducing the income earned from that space. |
* | Regulatory Costs. There are a number of government regulations, including zoning, tax and accessibility laws that apply to the ownership and operation of office buildings. Compliance with |
13
existing and newly adopted regulations may require us to spend a significant amount of money on our properties.
* | Fixed Nature of Costs. Most of the costs associated with owning and operating an office building are not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the property. |
* | Environmental Problems. Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may require a current or previous owner or operator of real property to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at the property. The clean up can be costly. The presence of or failure to clean up contamination may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease a property or to borrow using a property as collateral. |
* | Competition. A number of other major real estate investors with significant capital compete with us. These competitors include publicly traded REITs, private REITs, investment banking firms and private institutional investment funds. |
* | Insurance. Although we believe our properties are adequately covered by insurance, we cannot predict at this time if we will be able to obtain full coverage at a reasonable cost in the future. The costs associated with our June 30, 2002 property and casualty insurance renewals were higher than anticipated. All lines of coverage were affected by higher premiums, in part because insurance companies have experienced a loss of income on their investments, underwriting results have been poor and also as a result of the events of September 11, 2001. |
New Developments and Acquisitions May Fail to Perform As Expected
We remain active in developing and acquiring office properties. New office property developments are subject to a number of risks, including construction delays, complications in obtaining necessary zoning, occupancy and other governmental permits, cost overruns, financing risks, and the possible inability to meet expected occupancy and rent levels. If any of these problems occur, development costs for a project will increase, and there may be costs incurred for projects that are not completed. In deciding whether to acquire or develop a particular property, we made certain assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property. If a number of these new properties do not perform as expected, our financial performance will be adversely affected.
We Do Not Have Exclusive Control Over Our Joint Venture Investments
We have invested in projects or properties as a co-venturer or partner in the development of new properties. These investments involve risks not present in a wholly-owned project. Risks related to these investments could include:
* | Absence of control over the development, financing, leasing, management and other aspects of the project; |
* | Possibility that our co-venturer or partner might: |
* | become bankrupt; |
* | have interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours; |
* | take action contrary to our instructions, requests or interests (including those related to our qualification as a REIT for tax purposes); or |
* | otherwise impede our objectives; and |
* | Possibility that we, together with our partners, may be required to fund losses of the investee. |
In addition, most of our joint venture agreements contain buy/sell clauses that could require us to buy or sell our interest at a time we do not deem favorable for financial or other reasons including the availability of cash at such time and the impact of tax consequences resulting from any sale.
Our Use of Debt Subjects Us to Various Financing Risks
We regularly borrow money to finance our operations, particularly the acquisition and development of properties. We generally incur unsecured debt, although in many cases we will incur mortgage debt that is secured
14
by one or more of our office buildings. In the future, our financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by our use of debt financing, in part due to the following risks:
* | No Limitation on Debt Incurrence. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of debt we can incur. Our degree of leverage could have important consequences, including making it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing in the future for business needs, as well as making us more vulnerable to an economic downturn. |
* | Possible Inability to Meet Scheduled Debt Payments; Potential Foreclosure. If our properties do not perform as expected, the cash flow from our properties may not be enough to make required principal and interest payments. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, the holder of the mortgage or lender could foreclose on the property, resulting in loss of income and asset value. An unsecured lender could also attempt to foreclose on some of our assets in order to receive payment. |
* | Inability to Refinance Debt. In most cases, very little of the principal amount that we borrow is repaid prior to the maturity of the loan. We generally expect to refinance that debt when it matures, although in some cases we may pay off the loan. If principal amounts due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or paid with proceeds of other capital transactions, such as new equity capital, our cash flow could be insufficient to repay all maturing debt. Prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of a refinancing (such as possible reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) may result in higher interest rates and increased interest expense. |
* | Financial Covenants Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition. Our credit facilities and the indentures under which our senior unsecured indebtedness are issued contain financial and operating covenants, including coverage ratios and other limitations on our ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all of our assets and engage in mergers, consolidations and certain acquisitions. These covenants may restrict our ability to engage in transactions that would otherwise be in our best interests. In addition, failure to meet any of the financial covenants could cause an event of default under and/or accelerate some or all of our indebtedness, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Failure to meet our financial covenants could result from, among other things, changes in our results of operations or even general economic changes. |
* | Variable Interest Rates Could Increase the Cost of Borrowing. As of December 31, 2002, approximately 25.7% of our total financing was subject to variable interest rates, including our line of credit and debt related to interest rate swap agreements. Because we have not hedged significantly against interest fluctuations, significant increases in interest rates could dramatically increase our costs of borrowing. Additionally, interest rates on certain types of our debt are based on the credit rating of our debt by independent agencies, and would be substantially increased in the event that the credit ratings are downgraded. |
* | Derivatives. We may use derivative financial instruments at times to limit market risk. Interest rate protection agreements may be used to convert variable rate debt to a fixed rate basis, to convert fixed rate debt to a variable rate basis or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. We use derivative financial instruments only for hedging purposes, and not for speculation or trading purposes. Derivatives expose us to risk if our counter-party does not perform or if interest rates fluctuate. |
Our Business Structure Has Certain Risks Associated With It
* | Certain Officers and Directors May Have Interests that Conflict with the Interests of Stockholders. Certain of our officers and members of our board of directors own limited partnership units in Carr Realty, L.P., a partnership that holds some of our properties. These individuals may have personal interests that conflict with the interests of our stockholders with respect to business decisions affecting us and Carr Realty, L.P., such as interests in the timing and pricing of property sales or refinancings in order to obtain favorable tax treatment. We, as the sole general partner of Carr Realty, L.P., have the exclusive authority to determine whether and on what terms Carr Realty, L.P. will sell or refinance an individual property, but the effect of certain transactions on these unitholders may influence our decisions affecting these properties. |
15
* | We May Not Be Able to Sell Properties When Appropriate. |
Real estate property investments generally cannot be sold quickly. Agreements that we have entered into with respect to certain properties limit our ability to dispose of these properties. Also, the tax laws applicable to REITs restrict our ability to dispose of certain properties. Therefore, we may be unable to vary our portfolio promptly in response to market conditions, which may adversely affect our financial position. In addition, we are subject to income taxes on the sale of properties by our development company, CarrAmerica Development, Inc.
* | Lack of Voting Control Over Carr Real Estate Services, Inc. |
While most of our income is generated from the ownership and operation of our office buildings, we own an 8.1% voting and a 95.8% nonvoting interest in Carr Real Estate Services, Inc. Carr Real Estate Services, Inc. conducts management and leasing operations for third parties and for office buildings in which we own less than a 100% interest. As of December 31, 2002, we owned approximately 95% of the economic interest in Carr Real Estate Services, Inc. The majority of voting common stock of Carr Real Estate Services, Inc. is owned by The Oliver Carr Company. As a result, we have no right to elect the directors of Carr Real Estate Services, Inc., and our ability to influence its operations is limited. Carr Real Estate Services, Inc. may engage in business activities that are not in our best interests.
* | We Depend On External Capital. |
To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute to our stockholders each year at least 90% of our net taxable income excluding net capital gains and in order to eliminate federal income tax, we must distribute 100% of our net taxable income, including capital gains. Because of this distribution requirement, we likely will not be able to fund all future capital needs, including capital for property development and acquisitions, with income from operations. We therefore will have to rely on third-party sources of capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including the markets perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings.
Certain Factors May Inhibit Changes in Control of the Company
* | Charter and By-law Provisions. Certain provisions of our charter and by-laws may delay or prevent a change in control of the Company or other transactions that could provide our common stockholders with a premium over the then-prevailing market price of our common stock or that might otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. These currently include a staggered board of directors and the ability of our board of directors to authorize the issuance of preferred stock without stockholder approval, although our board of directors intends to recommend that our stockholders vote to amend our charter to eliminate the staggered nature of our board of directors. Also, any future series of preferred stock may have voting provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interests of our common stockholders. |
* | Ownership Limit. In order to assist us in maintaining our qualification as a REIT and for other strategic reasons, our charter contains certain provisions generally limiting the ownership of shares of capital stock by any single stockholder to 9.8% of our outstanding common stock and/or 9.8% of any class or series of preferred stock. The federal tax laws include complex stock ownership and attribution rules that apply in determining whether a stockholder exceeds the ownership limits. These rules may cause a stockholder to be treated as owning stock that is actually owned by others, including family members and entities in which the stockholder has an ownership interest. Our board of directors may waive this restriction with respect to certain stockholders if it is satisfied that ownership in excess of these ownership limits would not jeopardize our status as a REIT and the board otherwise decides that a waiver would be in our interests. Capital stock acquired or transferred in breach of the ownership limit will be automatically transferred to a trust for the benefit of a designated charitable beneficiary. |
* | Maryland Law Provisions. Certain provisions of Maryland law which are applicable to us because we are a Maryland corporation prohibit business combinations with any person that beneficially owns ten percent or more of our outstanding voting shares (an interested stockholder) or with an affiliate of the interested stockholder. These prohibitions last for five years after the most recent date on which the person became an interested stockholder. After the five-year period, a business combination with an interested stockholder must |
16
be approved by two super-majority stockholder votes unless, among other conditions, our common stockholders receive a minimum price for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its common shares. Our board of directors has opted out of these business combination provisions. Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the super-majority vote requirements will not apply to a business combination involving us. Our board of directors may, however, repeal this election in most cases and cause us to become subject to these provisions in the future. Being subject to the provisions could delay or prevent a change in control or other transactions that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.
The Market Value of Our Securities Can Be Adversely Affected by Many Factors
As with any public company, a number of factors may adversely influence the public market price of our common stock, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
* | Level of institutional interest in us; |
* | Perception of REITs generally and REITs with portfolios similar to ours, in particular, by market professionals; |
* | Attractiveness of securities of REITs in comparison to other companies; |
* | Our financial condition and performance; |
* | The markets perception of our growth potential and potential future cash dividends; |
* | Government action or regulation, including President Bushs proposal to eliminate taxes on dividends for individuals, which, if enacted, is not expected to apply to dividends paid by REITs; |
* | Increases in market interest rates, which may lead investors to demand a higher annual yield from our distributions in relation to the price paid for our stock; and |
* | Relatively low trading volume of shares of REITs in general, which tends to exacerbate a market trend with respect to our stock. |
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, also could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our stock. In addition to the possibility that we may sell shares of our stock in a public offering at any time, we also may issue shares of common stock upon redemption of units of interest held by third parties in affiliated partnerships that we control, as well as upon exercise of stock options that we grant to our employees and others. All of these shares will be available for sale in the public markets from time to time.
Our Status As a REIT
We believe that we qualify for taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and we plan to operate so that we can continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. If we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on our income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Many of the REIT requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. The determination that we are a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that may not be totally within our control. For example, to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income must come from specific passive sources, like rent, that are itemized in the REIT tax laws. In determining that we have satisfied this requirement, we have concluded that certain services, such as cafeteria services that we have provided to tenants through an independent contractor in certain of our properties under arrangements where we bear part or all of the expenses of such services, are considered customary in the geographic area where such properties are located. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would agree with such conclusion or other positions we have taken interpreting the REIT requirements. We also are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains). The fact that we hold some of our assets through partnerships and their subsidiaries further complicates the application of the REIT requirements. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status. Furthermore, Congress and the IRS might make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new rulings, that make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to remain qualified as a REIT.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Also, unless the IRS granted us relief under certain statutory provisions, we would remain disqualified as a REIT for four years following the year we first failed to qualify. If we failed to qualify as a REIT,
17
we would have to pay significant income taxes. This likely would have a significant adverse affect on the value of our securities. In addition, we would no longer be required to pay any dividends to stockholders.
Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to pay certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property. For example, if we have net income from prohibited transactions, that income will be subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to that sale. While we have recently undertaken a number of asset sales, we do not believe that those sales should be considered prohibited transactions, but there can be no assurance that the IRS would not contend otherwise. In addition, any net taxable income earned directly by some of our affiliates, including Carr Real Estate Services, Inc. and CarrAmerica Development, Inc., is subject to federal and state corporate income tax. In this regard, several provisions of the laws applicable to REITs and their subsidiaries ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to an appropriate level of federal income taxation. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiary is limited in its ability to deduct interest payments made to an affiliated REIT. In addition, the REIT has to pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments that it receives or on some deductions taken by the taxable REIT subsidiaries if the economic arrangements between the REIT, the REITs tenants, and the taxable REIT subsidiary are not comparable to similar arrangements between unrelated parties. Several entities in which we own interests, including Carr Real Estate Services, Inc. and CarrAmerica Development, Inc., have elected to be taxable REIT subsidiaries. Finally, some state and local jurisdictions may tax some of our income even though as a REIT we are not subject to federal income tax on that income. To the extent that we and our affiliates are required to pay federal, state and local taxes, we will have less cash available for distributions to our shareholders.
Legislative or Regulatory Tax Changes May Adversely Affect Us or Our Shareholders
The federal income tax laws governing REITs and other corporations or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended at any time. Any new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect us or our shareholders. On January 7, 2003, the Bush Administration released a proposal intended to eliminate one level of the double taxation that is currently imposed on corporate income for regular C corporations by excluding corporate dividends from an individuals taxable income to the extent that corporate income tax has been paid on the earnings from which the dividends are paid. REITs currently are tax-advantaged relative to regular C corporations because they are not subject to corporate-level federal income tax on income they distribute to shareholders, but shareholders do include REIT dividends in taxable income. The tax treatment of REITs generally would not be affected by the Bush Administrations proposal in its current form, except that a REIT that receives dividends from a C corporation that have been subject to corporate income tax could distribute or retain those amounts without a second tax being imposed on the REIT or its shareholders. The Bush Administrations proposal, if enacted, could cause individual investors to view stocks of regular C corporations as more attractive relative to stocks of REITs than is the case currently because part or all of the dividends on the stocks of the regular C corporation would be exempt from tax for the individual. It is not possible to predict whether in fact this change in relative perceived value will occur or if it occurs, what the impact will be on the value of our stock. In any event, there can be no assurance regarding whether the Bush Administrations proposal ultimately will be enacted or the form in which it might in fact be enacted.

Insurance
Although we believe our properties are adequately covered by insurance, we cannot predict at this time if we will be able to obtain full coverage at a reasonable cost in the future. The costs associated with our June 30, 2002 property and casualty insurance renewals were higher than anticipated. Although we have an excellent claims history and safety record, all lines of coverage were affected by higher premiums, in part because insurance companies have experienced a loss of income on their investments, underwriting results have been poor and also as a result of the events of September 11, 2001.
Our insurance renewal on June 30, 2002 increased premiums from the prior year approximately 155%. The property insurance deductible increased from $5,000 to $10,000 per claim. Since reinsurance treaties renew twice each year (January and July), our property and casualty insurance renewal date has been changed from June 30 to May 15 to enable underwriters to concentrate on the insurance proposals well ahead of treaty renewal.
In 2002, all risk property insurers began attaching terrorism exclusions to insurance policies. As a result of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, terrorism insurance must now be priced separately within the property insurance coverage. Unlike earthquake exposure, insurers do not yet have a means of modeling the terrorism risk.
During 2002, we completed an in-depth evaluation of our terrorism exposure as well as our lender requirements. Upon our renewal date for insurance of June 30, 2002, we purchased terrorism coverage with limits of $200 million per occurrence and in the aggregate, with a deductible of $1.0 million per claim, at a cost of approximately $2.2 million per year. The policy covers only physical damage and our amount of coverage may not be enough for all damages that could result from a terrorist attack. Coverage does not include losses due to biological, chemical or radioactive contamination. The lack of coverage for such contamination could have a material adverse effect on our financial results if a building we own becomes uninhabitable as a result of biological, chemical, radioactive or other contamination. We do not anticipate purchasing any additional terrorism coverage before May 15, 2003, our insurance renewal date.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are currently involved in two separate lawsuits with two stockholders of HQ Global. The first lawsuit involves the September 1998 conversion of an approximately $111.0 million loan that we made to HQ Global into stock of HQ Global. We, along with HQ Global, initiated this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in February 1999, asking the court to declare that the terms of the debt conversion were fair, after two minority stockholders threatened to challenge the terms of the conversion. These stockholders had claimed that both the conversion price used and the methods by which the conversion price was agreed upon between HQ Global and us were not fair to HQ Global or these stockholders. Thereafter, these two stockholders filed their own counterclaims against HQ Global, the board of directors of HQ Global and us. The stockholders asked the court to declare the conversion void, or in the alternative for compensatory and punitive damages. On September 12, 2001, the trial court granted these stockholders motion for summary judgment, declaring that the shares issued in connection with the conversion were null and void. We believe that the trial court incorrectly interpreted Delaware law in this case. We appealed this decision on October 2, 2001. We recognize that, in light of the trial courts finding, there is a reasonable possibility that we will be unsuccessful in overturning the courts decision. In that event, there are a number of possible outcomes, including a reduction in our equity interest in HQ Global or a cash payment by us to these stockholders. We currently believe that the value of any loss we may incur in this matter should not exceed $10.0 million, including losses under the directors indemnification discussed below, although we cannot assure you that this will be the case.
The second lawsuit involves claims filed by these two stockholders in April 2000 arising out of the June 2000 merger transaction involving HQ Global and VANTAS Incorporated. In this lawsuit, these two stockholders have brought claims against HQ Global, the board of directors of HQ Global, FrontLine Capital Group and us in Delaware Chancery Court. The two stockholders allege that, in connection with the merger transaction, we breached our fiduciary duties to the two stockholders and breached a contract with the stockholders. The claim relates principally to the allocation of consideration paid to us with respect to our interest in an affiliate of HQ Global that conducts international executive suites operations. The stockholders asked the court to rescind the transaction, or in the alternative for compensatory and rescissory damages. The court recently determined that it would not rescind the merger transaction, but held open the possibility that compensatory damages could be awarded or that another equitable remedy might be available. We believe that these claims are without merit and that we will ultimately prevail in this action, although we cannot assure you that the court will not find in favor of these stockholders. We continue to believe, however, that, even if the court finds in favor of these stockholders, any such adverse result will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
In connection with the HQ Global/VANTAS merger transaction, we agreed to indemnify all of the individuals who served as directors of HQ Global at the time of the transaction, including Thomas Carr, Oliver Carr and Philip Hawkins, who currently serve as directors and/or executive officers of us, with respect to any losses incurred by them arising out of the above litigation matters, if they first tried and were unsuccessful in getting the losses reimbursed by HQ Global or from insurance proceeds. It was expected at the time that these former directors would be indemnified against any of these losses by HQ Global, as required by HQ Globals certificate of incorporation and bylaws. HQ Global has not satisfied its indemnity obligation to these directors, and in light of HQ Globals bankruptcy filing in March 2002, is not likely to do so in the future. As a result, we have paid the costs incurred by these directors in connection with the above litigation matters. As of December 31, 2002, we had paid approximately $615,000 of costs pursuant to this indemnification arrangement, all of which represents amounts paid to legal counsel for these directors.
We are currently involved in two lawsuits arising out of a sublease entered into by HQ Global in March 1998 and our guarantee to the landlord of the performance of HQ Globals obligations under the sublease. On March 13, 2002 HQ Global filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In its bankruptcy proceedings, HQ Global rejected the sublease effective April 30, 2002. In June 2002, we received a demand for payment by the landlord of the full amount of the guarantee (approximately $5.4 million of rent payments remain under the sublease).
27
We believe, however, that we have defenses to making payment under the guarantee and therefore joined with HQ Global in filing suit on July 24, 2002 in HQ Globals bankruptcy proceedings asking the bankruptcy court to declare that the sublease was terminated not later than February 28, 2002. In February 2002, HQ Global, with the knowledge of the landlord, vacated the space it was subleasing and surrendered possession of the space to the landlord. The landlord then began utilizing the space for its own benefit, as a storage and staging area related to construction the landlord was performing on other space it occupied. We believe that the landlords use of the space effectively terminated the sublease as a matter of law and that therefore we have no obligation to make payments under the guarantee.
On July 26, 2002, the landlord under the sublease filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking payment from us under the guarantee. The District Court in New York ruled that the bankruptcy court should determine which of the two courts should decide this dispute. The bankruptcy court has not yet decided that issue.
In light of our defenses and these proceedings, we have not accrued any expense relating to this guarantee; however, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the pending litigation or that we will not incur expense or be required to make cash payments relating to this guarantee up to the full amount of the guarantee. As of December 31, 2002, we had not made any payments under this guarantee. However, even if the landlord were successful in its claims, we do not believe that this result would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
We are party to a variety of other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. All of these matters, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse impact on us.

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to make ordinary dividend distributions to our stockholders. The amount of these distributions must equal at least:
28
i. | the sum of (A) 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain) and (B) 90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, |
minus |
ii. | the sum of certain non-cash income items. |
Our strategy is to distribute what we believe is a conservative percentage of our cash flow. This permits us to retain funds for capital improvements and other investments while funding our distributions.
For federal income tax purposes, distributions may consist of ordinary income, capital gains, nontaxable return of capital or a combination of those items. Distributions that exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits (calculated for tax purposes) constitute a return of capital rather than a dividend, which reduces a stockholders basis in the shares of common stock and will not be taxable to the extent that the distribution equals or is less than the stockholders basis in the stock. To the extent a distribution exceeds both current and accumulated earnings and profits and the stockholders basis in the stock, that distribution will be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of that stockholders shares. Every year, we notify stockholders of the taxability of distributions paid during the preceding year.
The following table sets forth the approximate taxability of common stock distributions paid in 2002, 2001 and 2000:

1 | Net income from continuing operations includes a non-recurring gain (loss) of $4.5 million and ($13.7) million related to a treasury lock agreement in 1999 and 1998, respectively. |
2 | In 2002, we sold an operating property whose operations and gain are classified as discontinued operations for all years presented except 1998 when the property was not in operation. For the years, 1998-2000, discontinued operations also includes HQ Global. |
3 | We believe that funds from operations is helpful to investors as a measure of the operating performance of an equity REIT. Along with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, funds from operations provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. Funds from operations is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income (loss) computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable operating properties and items that are classified as extraordinary items under GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of assets uniquely significant to the real estate industry and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Our funds from operations for the years 1998-2000 excludes discontinued operations related to HQ Global. Our funds from operations may not be comparable to funds from operations reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently from us. Funds from operations does not represent net income or cash flow generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and, as such, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make distributions. |

Item 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion that follows is based primarily on our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 and should be read along with the consolidated financial statements and related notes. The ability to compare one period to another may be significantly affected by acquisitions completed, development properties placed in service and dispositions made during those years. The number of operating office buildings that we owned and were consolidated in the financial statements were 260 in 2002, 254 in 2001 and 252 in 2000.
GENERAL
During 2002, we completed the following significant transactions:
| We issued $400.0 million of 7.125% senior unsecured notes in January 2002, $50.0 million of 5.261% senior unsecured notes in November 2002 and $175.0 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes in November 2002. |
| We entered into interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $150.0 million and $175.0 million which hedge certain senior unsecured notes, effectively converting this fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. |
| We repurchased and redeemed an aggregate of approximately 5.8 million shares of our preferred stock for approximately $145.5 million. |
| We repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock for approximately $35.9 million. |
| We acquired five operating properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $216.1 million, including assumed debt. |
| We disposed of four operating properties (one owned through a joint venture) for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $176.1 million. |
During 2001, we completed the following significant transactions:
| We disposed of seven operating properties, one property under development and three parcels of land held for development. |
| We entered into a three-year, $500.0 million unsecured credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase, as agent for a group of banks. |
| We repurchased approximately 14.7 million shares of our common stock for approximately $428.3 million, including 9.2 million shares repurchased from Security Capital. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require managements most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies and estimates relate to evaluating the impairment of long-lived assets, our investment in HQ Global and other investments, assessing our probable liability under lease guarantees for HQ Global and evaluating the collectibility of accounts and notes receivable.
If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a rental property to be held and used or land held for development may be impaired, we perform a recoverability analysis based on estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the property in the future. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, the property and related assets such as tenant improvements and lease commissions, are written down to estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. If we decide to sell rental properties or land holdings, we evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amounts of the assets. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from estimated net sales proceeds, the property is written down to estimated fair value less costs to sell and an impairment loss is recognized. Our estimates of cash flows and fair values of the properties are based on current market conditions and consider matters such as rental rates and occupancies for comparable properties, recent sales data for comparable properties and, where applicable, contracts or the results of negotiations with purchasers or prospective purchasers. For 2002 and 2001, we recognized impairment losses of $2.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, on land held for development. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in our plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of additional impairment losses which, under applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial.
31
If events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an investment accounted for using the equity or cost method (such as our investments in HQ Global and essention) has declined below its carrying value and we consider the decline to be other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. For example, our evaluation of impairment of our investment in HQ Global in 2001was based on a number of factors. These factors included: analysis of the financial condition and operating results for HQ Global; the inability of HQ Global to remain in compliance with provisions of its debt agreements and its failure to reach an agreement with lenders on a restructuring of its debt prior to the expiration of a forbearance period in December 2001; the losses of key board members and executives by HQ Global, particularly in the last half of 2001; and the announcement by FrontLine Capital Group, HQ Globals controlling shareholder, in November 2001 that it had recognized an impairment in the value of intangible assets relating to HQ Global. Based on our evaluation, we determined in the fourth quarter of 2001 that our investment in HQ Global was impaired on an other than temporary basis and that our investment in HQ Global had no value. Accordingly, we wrote down the carrying value of our investment to zero and recognized the loss in continuing operations. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we concluded that our investment in essention was partially impaired and wrote down the carrying value of our investment by $0.5 million to $1.2 million.
As a result of the bankruptcy of HQ Global, we were required to make estimates regarding our probable liability under guarantees of HQ Globals performance under four office leases. After carefully evaluating the facts and circumstances of each property and developments in the bankruptcy proceedings, we accrued a loss of $8.7 million in 2002, our best estimate of the probable liability related to these guarantees. Circumstances may change in the future which could cause us to reevaluate our liability under these guarantees and adjust our estimate as appropriate.
Our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is established based on analysis of the risk of loss on specific accounts. The analysis places particular emphasis on past-due accounts and considers information such as the nature and age of the receivable, the payment history of the tenant or other debtor, the financial condition of the tenant and our assessment of its ability to meet its lease obligations, the basis for any disputes and the status of related negotiations, etc. Our estimate of the required allowance, which is reviewed on a quarterly basis, is subject to revision as these factors change and is sensitive to the effects of economic and market conditions on our tenants, particularly in our largest markets (i.e., the San Francisco Bay and Washington, D.C. Metro areas). For example, due to economic conditions and analysis of our accounts and notes receivable, we increased our allowance for uncollectible accounts (including related accrued straight-line rents) by approximately $7.1 million in 2002, $5.5 million in 2001 and $2.9 million in 2000.

Property operations revenue is composed of minimum base rent from our office buildings, revenue from the recovery of operating expenses from our tenants and other revenue such as parking and termination fees. Occupancy rates in our buildings began to decline in most of our markets in late 2001 and continued to decline in 2002. This decline has negatively affected our operating revenue in both years. Occupancy in stabilized buildings (buildings in operation more than one year) by market as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was as follows:

As a result of the ongoing weak economic climate, the real estate markets have been materially affected. The sustained lack of job growth has reduced demand for office space and overall vacancy rates for office properties have increased in most of our markets. In reviewing various outlooks for the economy, we believe that the vacancy rates will not improve in any material fashion until at least 2004. During 2002, our markets weakened significantly and our operations in those markets were adversely impacted. The occupancy in our portfolio of stabilized operating properties decreased to 92.3% at December 31, 2002 compared to 95.3% at December 31, 2001 and 97.4% at December 31, 2000. Market rental rates have declined in most markets from peak levels and we believe there will be additional declines in some markets in 2003. Rental rates on space that was re-leased in 2002 decreased an average of 12.1% in comparison to rates that were in effect under expiring leases.
Minimum Base Rent
Minimum base rent increased $3.2 million (0.8%) in 2002 compared to 2001 and decreased $20.4 million (4.6%) in 2001 as compared to 2000. The increase in minimum base rent in 2002 was due primarily to higher base rents from buildings we acquired in 2002 compared to the buildings we sold in 2002, partially offset by higher vacancies. The decrease in 2001 from 2000 was due primarily to the dispositions of properties, including the contribution of properties to a joint venture (Carr Office Park, L.L.C.) in August 2002 and higher vacancies We expect minimum base rent to continue to decline in 2003 as a result of releasing space at lower rates than those that were in effect under expiring leases.

Recoveries from Tenants
Recoveries from tenants increased $3.5 million (5.5%) in 2002 from 2001. The increase was due primarily to higher recoveries of real estate taxes and insurance expense which increased significantly in 2002 for the reasons discussed below. Recoveries from tenants decreased $0.8 million (1.2%) in 2001 from 2000 due to dispositions of properties, including the properties contributed to CarrOffice Park, L.L.C., partially offset by development properties placed in service.
Parking and Other Tenant Charges
Parking and other tenant charges increased $1.7 million (14.3%) in 2002 from 2001. This increase was due primarily to higher lease termination fees. Parking and other tenant charges decreased $7.5 million (38.7%) in 2001 from 2000 due primarily to lower lease termination fees. Lease termination fees are paid by a tenant in exchange for our agreement to terminate the lease. Other tenant charges included $4.4 million, $2.5 million and $6.7 million of termination fees in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Property operating expenses increased $4.5 million (3.6%) in 2002 from 2001 as a result of higher insurance expense ($5.0 million) and higher security costs ($0.9 million). The increase in insurance expense was due primarily to general increases in insurance premiums and the cost of terrorism coverage. These increases were partially offset by lower rent expense ($2.2 million) resulting from the termination of a master lease on a property in the Washington, D.C. Metro market. Property operating expenses did not change in 2001 from 2000.

Real estate taxes increased $5.4 million (13.7%) in 2002 from 2001 due primarily to higher taxes in the Washington, D.C. Metro market. Real estate taxes decreased $6.6 million (14.4%) in 2001 from 2000 due to dispositions of properties, including properties contributed to Carr Office Park, L.L.C.

Property operating margin decreased $1.4 million (0.4%) in 2002 compared to 2001. Property operating margin as a percentage of property operations revenue declined to 65.7% in 2002 from 67.1% in 2001. These decreases are due primarily to increased vacancies. Property operating margin decreased to $332.0 million in 2001 from $354.4 million in 2000; however, property operating margin as a percentage of property operations revenue remained relatively unchanged at 67.1% in 2001 compared to 67.8% in 2000. The decrease in property operating margin in 2001 was due primarily to the dispositions of properties.
Real Estate Service Revenue
Real estate service revenue, which includes our third party property management services and our development services, decreased $6.5 million (20.9%) in 2002 from 2001. The decrease occurred primarily because we earned one-time incentive fees related to the development of properties in 2001 ($5.2 million) and because leasing activity related to properties we manage for others decreased as a result of the economic and rental market conditions discussed above. Real estate service revenue increased $4.8 million in 2001 from 2000 due to the one-time development incentive fees discussed above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $15.3 million (18.3%) in 2002 from 2001. This increase was due primarily to higher debt levels to finance of our repurchase of preferred stock in the third quarter of 2002 and our repurchase of common shares in late 2001 (which we financed with a $400.0 million public debt offering in the first quarter of 2002) and two additional public debt offerings aggregating $225.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. The effect of these increases was partially offset by a decrease in short-term interest rates on our variable rate line of credit, our interest rate swap agreements and repayment of higher rate mortgages. We have several interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $325.0 million under which we pay a variable rate of interest. During 2002, these swaps resulted in lower interest expense of $3.1 million.
Interest expense decreased $16.5 million (16.5%) in 2001 from 2000 due primarily to the repayment of debt and lower interest rates on our variable rate debt.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses decreased $7.8 million (15.8%) in 2002 from 2001. This decrease was due primarily to lower costs as a result of the savings derived from completing the implementation of our Shared Service Center and completing portions of our internal process improvement efforts, reductions in incentive compensation and cost containment efforts.
General and administrative expenses increased $6.7 million (15.7%) in 2001 from 2000. This increase was due to expanded development activity for third parties, principally joint ventures in which we have an interest, expanded property management operations and the cost associated with our internal process improvement efforts including the implementation of our Shared Service Center and other initiatives.
35
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $6.2 million (5.1%) in 2002 from 2001. The increase was due primarily to the acquisition of properties and development properties placed in service and the write-off of tenant improvement balances for defaulting tenants, partially offset by property dispositions.
Depreciation and amortization decreased $3.1 million (2.5%) in 2001 compared to 2000. The decrease was due primarily to the disposition of the Phoenix properties and the contribution of interests in properties to Carr Office Park, L.L.C., partially offset by properties placed in service.
Gain on Sales of Assets and Other Provisions, Net, and Discontinued Property Operations
We dispose of assets (sometimes using tax-deferred exchanges) that are inconsistent with our long-term strategic or return objectives or where market conditions for sale are favorable. The proceeds from the sales are redeployed into other properties or used to fund development operations or to support other corporate needs.
During 2002, we disposed of four operating properties (including one property in which we held an interest through an unconsolidated entity), recognizing a gain of $34.7 million, including a gain of $4.9 million relating to our share of gain on a sale of property in which we held an interest through an unconsolidated entity. Approximately $19.1 million of the gain relates to our Commons at Las Colinas property with which we have no continuing involvement after the sale. Accordingly, the gain and the results of operations of the property are classified as discontinued operations. The balance of the gain relates to properties we continue to manage under management agreements. Accordingly, the gains on these sales and the operating results of the properties are not classified as discontinued operations due to our continuing involvement. We also recognized impairment losses of $2.5 million on land holdings.
During 2001, we disposed of seven operating properties, one property under development and three parcels of land held for development. We recognized a gain of $4.5 million on these transactions. We also recognized an impairment loss of $1.5 million on land holdings.
During 2000, we disposed of 16 operating properties (including one property in which we held an interest through an unconsolidated entity) and four parcels of land held for development. We recognized a gain of $24.1 million on these transactions, net of taxes of $5.6 million, including a gain of $8.8 million relating to our share of gain on a sale of property in which we held an interest through an unconsolidated entity.
On August 17, 2000, we closed on a joint venture transaction with New York State Teachers Retirement System (NYSTRS). At closing, we and some affiliates contributed properties to the joint venture, Carr Office Park, L.L.C., and NYSTRS contributed cash of approximately $255.1 million. The joint venture encompasses five suburban office parks (including 26 rental properties and land held for development of additional properties) in four markets. We received approximately $249.6 million and a 35% interest in the joint venture in exchange for the properties contributed and recognized a gain on the partial sale of $20.1 million, net of taxes of $13.1 million.
Other provisions for 2000 included an impairment loss of $7.9 million for land held for development that we decided to sell. For various reasons, we determined that we would not proceed with planned development of rental properties on certain of our land holdings and decided to market the land for sale. As a result, we evaluated the recoverability of the carrying amounts of the land. We determined that the carrying amounts would not be recovered from estimated net sale proceeds in certain cases and, in those cases, we recognized impairment losses.
Other Income and Expense
Other income (expense) was $(0.9) million, $(29.9) million and $12.0 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities decreased $2.1 million in 2002 from 2001. This decrease was due primarily to decreased earnings of Carr Office Park, L.L.C. as a result of higher interest expense. In June 2001, Carr Office Park, L.L.C. obtained third-party financing increasing its leverage and reducing our equity in earnings from the venture. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities increased $1.7 million in 2001 from 2000. This increase was due primarily to a full year earnings from our investment in Carr Office Park, L.L.C. which was formed in August 2000.
36
In 2002, we accrued losses related to lease guarantees associated with HQ Global of $8.7 million. In 2001, we recognized an impairment loss of $42.2 million related to our investment in HQ Global (see Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional discussion of these losses).

Operations generated $213.0 million of net cash in 2002 compared to $217.7 million in 2001 and $179.1 million in 2000. The changes in cash flow from operating activities were primarily the result of factors discussed above in the analysis of operating results. The level of net cash provided by operating activities is also affected by the timing of receipt of revenues and payment of expenses, including in 2001 income taxes relating to sales of properties and discontinued operations completed in 2000.
Our investing activities used net cash of $44.1 million in 2002 and provided net cash of $101.2 million in 2001 and $567.5 million in 2000. The change in cash flows from investing activities in 2002 is due primarily to increased acquisition and development of operating properties ($151.3 million). There were decreases in cash used for construction of properties ($24.7 million) and land acquisitions ($35.6 million) in 2002 due to lower levels of internal development activity. Distributions from unconsolidated entities also decreased in 2002, as 2001 included a distribution from Carr Office Park, L.L.C. ($77.9 million) of proceeds from third-party financing of its properties.
The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities in 2001 from 2000 is due primarily to the fact that in 2000, we sold our investment in HQ Global, generating $377.3 million of cash. Proceeds from sales of properties were also higher in 2000 ($372.7 million) due primarily to the Carr Office Park, L.L.C. transaction. The effect of these decreases on net cash provided by investing activities was partially offset by a reduction in development activities ($64.6 million), receipt of a distribution from Carr Office Park, L.L.C. from proceeds of a third party financing of properties ($77.9 million) and a release of restricted deposits ($34.9 million) in connection with the acquisition of a property.
Our financing activities used net cash of $171.0 million in 2002, $338.6 million in 2001 and $773.7 million in 2000. The decrease in net cash used by financing activities in 2002 is due primarily to lower dividend payments ($11.3 million) and decreased stock repurchases ($246.9 million), partially offset by decreased net borrowings ($89.4 million).
During 2001, we repurchased $428.3 million of our common stock generally using our credit line to finance the purchases. In 2001, we had net borrowings on our credit line of $281.0 million. In 2000, we decreased our debt significantly. Net debt repayments during 2000 totaled $546.3 million including net repayment of credit facility borrowings of $307.5 million and retirement of $150.0 million of senior unsecured notes. We also repurchased $90.2 million of our common stock in 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
As of December 31, 2002, we had approximately $3.0 million in available cash and cash equivalents. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders on an annual basis. In addition, we and our affiliates regularly require capital to invest in our existing portfolio of operating assets for capital projects. These capital projects include such things as large-scale renovations, routine capital improvements,
37
deferred maintenance on properties we have recently acquired and leasing-related matters, including tenant improvements, allowances and leasing commissions. The amounts of the leasing-related expenditures can vary significantly depending on negotiations with tenants and the willingness of tenants to pay higher base rents over the life of the leases.
We derive substantially all of our revenue from tenants under leases at our properties. Our operating cash flow therefore depends materially on the rents that we are able to charge to our tenants, and the ability of these tenants to make their rental payments. Although our top 25 tenants accounted for approximately 35.1% of our annualized minimum base rents, we believe that the diversity of our tenant base (no tenant accounted for more than 5% of annualized minimum base rents as of December 31, 2002) helps insulate us from the negative impact of tenant defaults and bankruptcies. However, general economic downturns, or economic downturns in one or more of our markets, could materially adversely impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to re-lease space on favorable terms as leases expire. In either of these cases, our cash flow and therefore our ability to meet our capital needs would be adversely affected.
As a result of the ongoing weak economic climate, the real estate markets have been materially affected. The sustained lack of job growth has reduced demand for office space and overall vacancy rates for office properties have increased in most of our markets. In reviewing various outlooks for the economy, we believe that the vacancy rates will not improve in any material fashion until at least 2004. During 2002, our markets weakened significantly and our operations in those markets were adversely impacted. The occupancy in our portfolio of stabilized operating properties decreased to 92.3% at December 31, 2002 compared to 95.3% at December 31, 2001 and 97.4% at December 31, 2000. Market rental rates have declined in most markets from peak levels and we believe there will be additional declines in some markets in 2003. Rental rates on space that was re-leased in 2002 decreased an average of 12.1% in comparison to rates that were in effect under expiring leases.
In the future, if, as a result of general economic downturns, a credit rating downgrade or otherwise, our properties do not perform as expected, or we cannot raise the expected funds from the sale of properties and/or if we are unable to obtain capital from other sources, we may not be able to make required principal and interest payments or make necessary routine capital improvements with respect to our existing portfolio of operating assets. While we believe that we would continue to have sufficient funds to pay our operating expenses and debt service and our regular quarterly dividends, our ability to expand our development activity or to fund acquisition of new properties could be adversely affected. In addition, if a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, the holder of the mortgage could foreclose on the property, resulting in loss of income and asset value. An unsecured lender could also attempt to foreclose on some of our assets in order to receive payment. In most cases, very little of the principal amount that we borrow is repaid prior to the maturity of the loan. We generally expect to refinance that debt when it matures, although in some cases we may pay off the loan. If principal amounts due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or paid with proceeds of other capital transactions, such as new equity capital, our cash flow may be insufficient to repay all maturing debt. Prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of a refinancing (such as possible reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) may result in higher interest rates and increased interest expense.
Our ability to raise funds through sales of debt and equity securities is dependent on, among other things, general economic conditions, general market conditions for REITs, rental rates, occupancy levels, market perceptions about us, our debt rating and the current trading price of our stock. We will continue to analyze which source of capital is most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but the capital markets may not consistently be available on terms that are attractive.
Capital Structure
We manage our capital structure to reflect a long-term investment approach, generally seeking to match the stable return nature of our assets with a mix of equity and various debt instruments. We expect that our capital structure will allow us to obtain additional capital from diverse sources that could include additional equity offerings of common stock and/or preferred stock, public and private debt financings and possible asset dispositions. Our management believes, but there can be no assurance, that we will have access to the capital resources necessary to expand and develop our business, to fund our operating and administrative expenses, to continue to meet our debt
38
service obligations, to pay dividends in accordance with REIT requirements, to acquire additional properties and land and to pay for construction in progress. Our ability to raise funds through sales of debt and equity securities is dependent on, among other things, general economic conditions, general market conditions for REITs, rental rates, occupancy levels, market perceptions about us, our debt rating and the current trading price of our stock. We will continue to analyze which source of capital is most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but the capital markets may not consistently be available on terms that are attractive.
Debt Financing
We generally use fixed rate debt instruments in order to match the returns from our real estate assets. We also utilize variable rate debt for short-term financing purposes or to protect against the risk, at certain times, that fixed rates may overstate our long-term costs of borrowing if assumed inflation or growth in the economy implicit in higher fixed interest rates do not materialize. At times, our mix of variable and fixed rate debt may not suit our needs. At those times, we use derivative financial instruments including interest rate swaps and caps, forward interest rate options or interest rate options in order to assist us in managing our debt mix. We either will hedge our variable rate debt to give it a fixed interest rate or hedge fixed rate debt to give it a variable interest rate.
We have three investment grade ratings. As of December 31, 2002, Fitch Rating Services and Standard & Poors have each assigned their BBB rating to our prospective senior unsecured debt offerings and their BBB- rating to our prospective cumulative preferred stock offerings. Moodys Investor Service has assigned its Baa2 rating with a negative outlook to our prospective senior unsecured debt offerings and its Baa3 rating to our prospective cumulative preferred stock offerings. A downgrade in rating by any one of these rating agencies could result from, among other things, a change in our financial position or a downturn in general economic conditions. Any such downgrade could adversely affect our ability to obtain future financing or could increase the interest rates on our existing variable rate debt. However, we have no debt instruments under which the principal maturity would be accelerated upon a downward change in our debt rating.

Our fixed rate mortgage debt bore an effective weighted average interest rate of 7.98% at December 31, 2002 and had a weighted average maturity of 6.5 years. $88.0 million (5.5%) of our total debt at December 31, 2002 bore a LIBOR-based variable interest rate and $325.0 million (20.2%) was subject to variable interest rates through interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate on borrowings on our unsecured credit facility at December 31, 2002 was 2.1%.
Our primary external source of liquidity is our credit facility. We have a three-year, $500 million unsecured credit facility expiring in June 2004 with J.P. Morgan Chase, as agent for a group of banks. We can extend the life of the facility an additional year at our option. The facility carries an interest rate of 70 basis points over 30-day LIBOR, or 2.1% as of December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, $88.0 million was drawn on the credit facility, $1.2 million in letters of credit were outstanding and we had $410.8 million available for borrowing.
Our unsecured credit facility contains financial and other covenants with which we must comply. Some of these covenants include:
* | A minimum ratio of annual EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to interest expense; |
* | A minimum ratio of annual EBITDA to fixed charges; |
* | A maximum ratio of aggregate unsecured debt to unencumbered assets; |
39
* | A maximum ratio of total debt to tangible fair market value of our assets; and |
* | Restrictions on our ability to make dividend distributions in excess of 90% of funds from operations. |
Availability under the unsecured credit facility is also limited to a specified percentage of the fair value of our unmortgaged properties. We are currently in compliance with all the financial covenants of our credit facility. Failure to comply with these or any of the other covenants under our unsecured credit facility or other debt instruments could result in a default under one or more of our debt instruments. This could cause our lenders to accelerate the timing of payments and would therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Of our senior unsecured notes, $625.0 million was issued in 2002. In January 2002, we issued $400.0 million of senior unsecured notes. The notes bear interest at 7.125% per annum payable semi-annually beginning on July 15, 2002. The notes mature on January 15, 2012. In November 2002, we issued $50.0 million of 5.261% and $175.0 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes. Interest on these notes is payable semi-annually beginning May 30, 2003. The notes mature November 30, 2007. All of the notes are unconditionally guaranteed by CarrAmerica Realty, L.P., one of our subsidiaries.
Our senior unsecured notes also contain covenants with which we must comply. These include:
* | Limits on our total indebtedness on a consolidated basis; |
* | Limits on our secured indebtedness on a consolidated basis; |
* | Limits on our required debt service payments; and |
* | Compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility. |
Derivative Financial Instruments
On May 8, 2002, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America, N.A. (both rated A+ by Standard & Poors), hedging $150.0 million of 7.2% senior unsecured notes due July 2004. We receive interest at a fixed rate of 7.2% and pay interest at a variable rate of six-month LIBOR in arrears plus 2.72%. The interest rate swaps mature at the same time the notes are due. The swaps qualify as fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Net semi-annual settlement payments are recognized as increases or decreases to interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recognized on our balance sheet and the carrying value of the senior unsecured notes is increased or decreased by an offsetting amount. As of December 31, 2002, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was approximately $5.3 million. We recognized a reduction in interest expense for 2002 of approximately $2.7 million related to the swaps. As of December 31, 2002, taking into account the effect of the interest rate swaps, the effective interest rate on the notes was reduced to 4.2%.
In conjunction with the issuance of the $175.0 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes, in November 2002, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, N.A. and Goldman Sachs & Co. (all rated A+ by Standard & Poors). Under the swap agreements, we receive interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% and pay interest at a variable rate of six-month LIBOR in arrears plus 1.405%. The interest rate swaps mature at the same time the notes are due. The swaps qualify as fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Net semi-annual settlement payments are recognized as increases or decreases to interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recognized on our balance sheet and the carrying value of the senior unsecured notes is increased or
40
decreased by an offsetting amount. As of December 31, 2002, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was approximately $2.2 million. We recognized a reduction in interest expense for 2002 of approximately $0.4 million related to the swaps. As of December 31, 2002, taking into account the effect of the interest rate swaps, the effective interest rate on the notes was reduced to 3.1%.
As part of the assumption of $63.5 million of debt associated with the purchase of two operating properties in August 2002, we also purchased interest rate caps with a notional amount of $97.0 million and a 6.75% cap on LIBOR. The fair value of the interest rate caps was not material at December 31, 2002.
Stock Repurchases
On September 7, 2002, we redeemed 4.0 million shares of our Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends for the period from September 1, 2002 through and including the redemption date, without interest. Additionally, during 2002, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of our preferred stock for approximately $45.5 million.
Our unsecured credit facility contained a financial covenant requiring us to maintain at least $1.1 billion of tangible net worth (as defined by the facility). After giving effect to the proposed redemption of our Series B Preferred Stock, we would have been in violation of that covenant. Therefore, on July 29, 2002 we entered into an amendment to the facility, reducing the minimum tangible net worth requirement to $800.0 million.
Our Board of Directors has authorized us to spend up to $400.0 million to repurchase our common stock, preferred stock and debt securities, excluding the 9.2 million shares repurchased from Security Capital in November 2001 and our preferred stock redemption of 4.0 million shares in September 2002, which were separately approved. Since the start of this program in mid-2000 through December 31, 2002, we have acquired approximately 10.1 million of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $289.0 million including approximately 1.4 million shares for $35.9 million in 2002. We continue to monitor market conditions and other alternative investments in order to evaluate whether repurchase of our securities is appropriate.
We pay dividends quarterly. The maintenance of these dividends is subject to various factors, including the discretion of the Board of Directors, the ability to pay dividends under Maryland law, the availability of cash to make the necessary dividend payments and the effect of REIT distribution requirements, which require at least 90% of our taxable income to be distributed to stockholders. In addition, under our line of credit, we generally are restricted from paying dividends that would exceed 90% of our funds from operations during any four-quarter period.
Capital Commitments
We will require capital for development projects currently underway and in the future. As of December 31, 2002, we had approximately 70,000 rentable square feet of office space in two wholly-owned development projects in progress. Our total expected investment on these projects is $9.5 million. Through December 31, 2002, we had invested $7.4 million or 77.9% of the total expected investment for these projects. We also have a residential project under development. We undertook this wholly-owned project in conjunction with an office development project in a joint venture. Our total investment in the residential project is expected to be $19.9 million. As of December 31, 2002, we had invested $5.4 million in this project with the remainder expected to be incurred during 2003. As of December 31, 2002, we also had 608,000 rentable square feet of office space under construction in two joint venture projects in which we own minority interests. These projects are expected to cost $188.3 million, of which our total investment is expected to be approximately $57.7 million. Through December 31, 2002, approximately $101.2 million or 53.7% of total project costs had been expended on these projects. We have financed our investment in both our wholly-owned and our joint venture projects under construction at December 31, 2002 primarily from borrowings under our credit facility. We expect that our credit facility and project-specific financing of selected assets will provide the additional funds required to complete existing development projects and to finance the costs of additional projects we may undertake. As a result of market conditions, we believe we will be limiting our development activities in the near future and expect to concentrate our growth efforts on the acquisition of properties.

Unconsolidated Investments and Joint Ventures
We have minority investments in two non-real estate operating companies, AgilQuest and essention, which we account for using the cost method. These are startup entities in which we invested $2.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively. To date, neither company has had any substantial earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we recognized an impairment of $500,000 on our investment in essention because we believe the value of our investment was partially impaired. In the future, additional impairment charges related to our investments may be required.
We have investments in real estate joint ventures in which we hold 15%-50% interests. These investments are accounted for using the equity or cost method, as appropriate, and therefore the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures are not included in our consolidated financial statements. Most of these joint ventures own and operate office buildings financed by non-recourse debt obligations that are secured only by the real estate and other assets of the joint ventures. We have no obligation to repay this debt and the lenders have no recourse to our other assets. As of December 31, 2002, we guaranteed $26.5 million of debt related to a joint venture and have provided completion guarantees related to three joint venture projects for which total costs are anticipated to be $370.0 million, of which $277.0 million had been expended to date. We have not funded any amounts under these guarantees and do not expect any funding will be required in the future.
Our investments in these joint ventures are subject to risks not inherent in our majority owned properties, including:
* | Absence of exclusive control over the development, financing, leasing, management and other aspects of the project; |
* | Possibility that our co-venturer or partner might: |
* | become bankrupt; |
* | have interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours; |
* | take action contrary to our instructions, requests or interests (including those related to our qualification as a REIT for tax purposes); or |
* | otherwise impede our objectives; and |
* | Possibility that we, together with our partners, may be required to fund losses of the investee. |
In addition to making investments in these ventures, we provide construction management, leasing and property management, development and architectural and other services to them. We earned fees for these services of $8.0 million in 2002, $14.2 million in 2001 and $8.9 million in 2000. Accounts receivable from joint ventures and other affiliates were $1.7 million at December 31, 2002 and $3.2 million at December 31, 2001.

1. | Loan guarantee relates to a joint venture in which we have a 30% interest and for which we are the developer. It is a payment guaranty to the lender on behalf of the joint venture. If the joint venture defaults on the loan, we may be required to perform under the guarantee. We have a reimbursement guarantee from the other joint venture partner to repay us their proportionate share (70%) of any monies we pay under the guarantee. |
2. | Loan guarantee relates to a third party project for which we are the developer. It is a payment guarantee to the lender. If the third party defaults on the loan, we may be required to perform under the guarantee. We have a security interest in the third partys interest in the underlying property. In the event of a default, we can exercise our rights under the security agreement to take title to the property and sell the property to mitigate our exposure under the guarantee. |
3. | We have guaranteed leases related to HQ Global Workplaces, Inc. (for further discussion, see HQ Global Workplaces, Inc. below). |
4. | See Item 3: Legal Proceedings for further discussion. |
In the normal course of business, we guarantee our performance of services or indemnify third parties against our negligence.
Insurance
Although we believe our properties are adequately covered by insurance, we cannot predict at this time if we will be able to obtain full coverage at a reasonable cost in the future. The costs associated with our June 30, 2002 property and casualty insurance renewals were higher than anticipated. Although we have an excellent claims history and safety record, all lines of coverage were affected by higher premiums, in part because insurance companies have experienced a loss of income on their investments, underwriting results have been poor and also as a result of the events of September 11, 2001.
Our insurance renewal on June 30, 2002 increased premiums from the prior year approximately 155%. The property insurance deductible increased from $5,000 to $10,000 per claim. Since reinsurance treaties renew twice each year (January and July), our property and casualty insurance renewal date has been changed from June 30 to May 15 to enable underwriters to concentrate on the insurance proposals well ahead of treaty renewal.
In December 2002, three major corporate insurance policies were renewed for another annual term. The policies were the Directors and Officers Liability, Employment Practices Liability and the Professional (Errors and Omissions) Liability. As had been expected, the insurance markets were not favorable to the buyer due mainly to insurance industry conditions. The increases in premiums were 44% for Directors and Officers Liability, 76% for Employment Practices Liability and 45% for Professional (Errors and Omissions) Liability. The deductible for the Directors and Officers Liability policy changed from $250,000 for each claim to $500,000 for securities claims and $250,000 for all other claims. The deductible for the Employment Practices Liability increased from $50,000 per claim to $250,000 per claim.
In 2002, all risk property insurers began attaching terrorism exclusions to insurance policies. As a result of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, terrorism insurance must now be priced separately within the property insurance coverage. Unlike earthquake exposure, insurers do not yet have a means of modeling the terrorism risk.
During 2002, we completed an in-depth evaluation of our terrorism exposure as well as our lender requirements. Upon our renewal date for insurance of June 30, 2002, we purchased terrorism coverage with limits of $200 million per occurrence and in the aggregate, with a deductible of $1.0 million per claim, at a cost of approximately $2.2 million per year. The policy covers only physical damage and our amount of coverage may not be enough for all damages that could result from a terrorist attack. Coverage does not include losses due to biological, chemical or radioactive contamination. The lack of coverage for such contamination could have a
43
material adverse effect on our financial results if a building we own becomes uninhabitable as a result of biological, chemical, radioactive or other contamination. We do not anticipate purchasing any additional terrorism coverage before May 15, 2003, our insurance renewal date.
HQ Global Workplaces, Inc.
In 1997, we began making investments in HQ Global Workplaces, Inc. (HQ Global), a provider of executive office suites. On June 1, 2000, we, along with HQ Global, VANTAS Incorporated (VANTAS) and FrontLine Capital Group (FrontLine), consummated several transactions including (i) the merger of VANTAS with and into HQ Global, (ii) the acquisition by FrontLine of shares of HQ Global common stock from us and other stockholders of HQ Global, and (iii) the acquisition by VANTAS of our debt and equity interests in OmniOffices (UK) Limited and OmniOffices LUX 1929 Holding Company S.A. We received $377.3 million in cash in connection with these transactions. In addition, $140.5 million of debt which we had guaranteed was repaid with a portion of the cash proceeds. Following the transaction, we owned approximately 16% of the equity of HQ Global on a diluted basis and our investment had a carrying value of $42.2 million.
FrontLine, the majority stockholder of HQ Global, announced in October 2001 that HQ Global was in default with respect to certain covenant and payment obligations under its senior and mezzanine term indebtedness, was in a forbearance period with HQ Global lenders and was actively negotiating with those lenders. In November 2001, FrontLine disclosed that it had recognized an impairment in the value of intangible assets relating to HQ Global due to HQ Globals trend of operating losses and its inability to remain in compliance with the terms of its debt arrangements. Based on these factors, our analysis of the financial condition and operating results of HQ Global (which deteriorated significantly during 2001 as the economic slowdown reduced the demand for temporary office space, particularly from technology-related tenants) and the losses of key board members and executives by HQ Global, particularly in the last half of 2001, we determined in the fourth quarter of 2001, that our investment in HQ Global was impaired. We recorded a $42.2 million impairment charge, reducing the carrying value of our remaining investment in HQ Global to zero.
On March 13, 2002, HQ Global filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws. During 1997 and 1998, to assist HQ Global as it grew its business, we provided guarantees of HQ Globals performance under four office leases. To our knowledge, all monthly rental payments were made by HQ Global under two of these leases through January 2002, and rental payments under the other two leases were made through February 2002. In connection with the June 2000 merger transaction, FrontLine agreed to indemnify us against any losses incurred with respect to guarantees of the four office leases. However, on June 12, 2002, FrontLine also filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws, and therefore it is unlikely that we will recover any resulting losses from FrontLine under this indemnity.
In the course of its bankruptcy proceedings, HQ Global has filed motions to reject two of these four leases. One lease is for space in San Jose, California. This lease is for approximately 22,000 square feet of space at two adjacent buildings and runs through October 2008. Total aggregate remaining lease payments under this lease as of February 1, 2002 were approximately $6.2 million (approximately $0.7 million of which was payable in 2002); however, our liability under this guarantee was limited to approximately $2.0 million. We reached an agreement with the landlord of this lease pursuant to which we paid $1.75 million in full satisfaction of the guarantee in January 2003. We recognized this expense in 2002.
The second lease that was rejected by HQ Global is a sublease for space in downtown Manhattan. This lease is for approximately 26,000 square feet of space and runs through March 2008, with total aggregate remaining lease payments as of February 1, 2002 of approximately $5.4 million (approximately $0.8 million of which was payable in 2002). In June 2002, we received a demand for payment of the full amount of the guarantee. However, we believe that we have defenses to payment under this guarantee available to us and joined with HQ Global in filing suit on July 24, 2002 in HQ Globals bankruptcy proceedings asking the bankruptcy court to declare that the lease was terminated by the landlord of the sublease not later than February 28, 2002. On July 26, 2002, the landlord under the sublease filed suit in federal court in New York seeking payment from us under this guarantee. In light of our defenses and these proceedings, we have not accrued any expense relating to this guarantee; however, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the pending litigation or that we will not incur expense or be required to make cash payments relating to this guarantee up to the full amount of the guarantee. As of December 31, 2002, we had not made any payments under this guarantee.
44
HQ Global has not filed a motion seeking to reject the remaining two leases that we have guaranteed, although it could do so in the future. Even if the leases are not rejected, we may ultimately be liable to the lessors for payments due under the leases. In one case, the lease is for approximately 25,000 square feet of space in midtown Manhattan, and our liability is currently capped at approximately $0.5 million, which liability reduces over the life of the lease until its expiration in September 2007. As of December 31, 2002, we have not accrued any expense related to or made any payments under this guarantee.
The remaining lease is for space in San Mateo, California. This lease is for approximately 19,000 square feet of space and runs through January 2013, with total aggregate remaining lease payments as of March 1, 2002 of approximately $10.4 million (approximately $0.6 million of which was payable in 2002). We initially recognized an expense of $0.4 million under this guarantee in the first quarter of 2002 based on a tentative agreement with HQ Global under which HQ Global would not reject this lease obligation and we would fund HQ Globals operating losses at this location for a limited period of time. Due to deteriorating conditions in the local commercial real estate market, HQ Global subsequently determined that the tentative agreement was not in its best interest. HQ Global indicated to us that it intended to reject this lease unless its rent was reduced to current market rates. As an interim measure, we entered into an agreement with HQ Global as of June 30, 2002 to fund operating losses at this location up to an aggregate amount of $130,000 in exchange for HQ Global forbearing from rejecting this lease until September 15, 2002, or if it obtained from the bankruptcy court an extension of time within which to reject leases, November 1, 2002. Because the bankruptcy court has since twice extended the time period within which HQ Global may reject this lease to May 9, 2003, we have twice extended the existing forbearance agreement in exchange for funding operating losses up to an additional aggregate amount of $245,000. As a result of our efforts to mitigate our exposure under this guarantee, we entered into agreements with HQ Global in January 2003 under which HQ Global assigned its interest as a tenant in this lease to us and we in turn subleased the space back to HQ Global at current market rates. These agreements remain subject to approval by both the bankruptcy court and the landlord under the lease. In addition, these agreements will not be enforceable if HQ Global fails to successfully reorganize and emerge from the bankruptcy proceedings. There can be no assurance that the necessary approvals will be granted, that material changes to the agreements will not be required to gain approvals, or that HQ Global will successfully reorganize and emerge from the bankruptcy proceedings. We increased our provision for loss under this guarantee to $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2002 and this continues to represent the amount we have determined to be our likely exposure under this guarantee as of December 31, 2002. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be required to further increase our provision or make cash payments related to this guarantee in future periods up to, in the aggregate, the full amount of the guarantee. As of December 31, 2002, we had not made any payments under this guarantee.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others. For 2002, the Interpretation requires certain disclosures which we have included in the footnotes to the financial statements. Beginning in 2003, the Interpretation requires recognition of liabilities at their fair market value for newly issued guarantees. We do not anticipate that adoption of Interpretation No. 45 will have a material effect on our financial statements.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and requires disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. We have adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148. Beginning January 1, 2003, we will adopt the prospective transition method for all new stock compensation awards. We do not anticipate that adoption of SFAS No. 148 will have a material effect on our financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. This Interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. We do not anticipate that adoption of Interpretation No. 46 will have a material effect on our financial statements.
45
Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations is helpful to investors as a measure of the operating performance of an equity REIT. Based on our experience, funds from operations, along with information about cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, provides investors with an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. Funds from operations is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as follows:
* | Net income (loss) computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP); |
* | Less gains (or plus losses) from sales of depreciable operating properties and items that are classified as extraordinary items under GAAP; |
* | Plus depreciation and amortization of assets uniquely significant to the real estate industry; |
* | Plus or minus adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures (to reflect funds from operations on the same basis). |
Our funds from operations may not be comparable to funds from operations reported by other REITs. These other REITs may not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than us. Funds from operations does not represent net income or cash flow generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity or our ability to make distributions.
The following table provides the calculation of our funds from operations and a reconciliation of funds from operations to income from continuing operations for the years presented:

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our future earnings and cash flows and the fair values of our financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market rates. Market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative and commodity instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or rates. We manage our risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities with projected cash outflows to fund debt payments, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions and other cash requirements. We may also use derivative financial instruments at times to limit market risk. Interest rate protection agreements may be used to convert variable rate debt to a fixed rate basis, to convert fixed rate debt to a variable rate basis or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. We use derivative financial instruments only for hedging purposes, and not for speculation or trading purposes.
On May 8, 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap agreements with JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America, N.A. hedging $150.0 million of senior unsecured notes due July 2004. We receive interest at a fixed rate of 7.2% and pay interest at a variable rate of six-month LIBOR in arrears plus 2.72%. The interest rate swaps mature at the same time the notes are due. The swaps qualify as fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Net semi-annual settlement payments are recognized as increases or decreases to interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recognized on our balance sheet and the carrying value of the senior unsecured notes is increased or decreased by an offsetting amount. As of December 31, 2002, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was approximately $5.3 million. We recognized a reduction in interest expense for 2002 of approximately $2.7 million related to the swaps. As of December 31, 2002, taking into account the effect of the interest rate swaps, the effective interest rate on the notes was reduced to 4.2%.
In conjunction with the issuance of $175.0 million of senior unsecured notes in November 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap agreements with JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, N.A. and Goldman Sachs & Co We receive interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% and pay interest at a variable rate of six-month LIBOR in arrears plus 1.405%. The interest rate swaps mature at the same time the notes are due. The swaps qualify as fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Net semi-annual settlement payments are recognized as increases or decreases to interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recognized on our balance sheet and the carrying value of the senior unsecured notes is increased or decreased by an offsetting amount. As of December 31, 2002, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was approximately $2.2 million. We recognized a reduction in interest expense for 2002 of approximately $0.4 million related to the swaps. As of December 31, 2002, taking into account the effect of the interest rate swaps, the effective interest rate on the notes was reduced to 3.1%.
As part of the assumption of $63.5 million of debt associated with the purchase of two operating properties in August 2002, we also purchased two interest rate caps with a notional amount of $97.0 million and a 6.75% cap to LIBOR. As of December 31, 2002, the fair market value of these interest rate caps was not material.
If the market rates of interest on our credit facility change by 10% (or approximately 21 basis points), our annual interest expense would change by approximately $0.2 million. This assumes the amount outstanding under our credit facility remains at $88.0 million, our balance at December 31, 2002. The book value of our credit facility approximates market value at December 31, 2002.
If the market rates of interest on our interest rate swap agreements change by 10% (or approximately 19 basis points), our annual interest expense would change by approximately $0.5 million.

A change in interest rates generally does not impact future earnings and cash flows for fixed-rate debt instruments, except for those senior notes which have been hedged with interest rate swaps. As fixed-rate debt matures, and additional debt is incurred to fund the repayments of maturing loans, future earnings and cash flows may be impacted by changes in interest rates. This impact would be realized in the periods subsequent to debt maturities. The following is a summary of the fixed rate mortgages and senior unsecured debt maturities at December 31, 2002 (in thousands):

If we assume the repayments of fixed rate borrowings are made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective credit arrangements, a 10 percent change in the market interest rate for the respective fixed rate debt instruments would change the fair market value of our fixed rate debt by approximately $12.8 million. The estimated fair market value of the fixed rate debt instruments and the senior unsecured notes at December 31, 2002 was $438.5 million and $1,182.1 million, respectively.

Independent Auditors Report
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CarrAmerica Realty Corporation:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CarrAmerica Realty Corporation and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedules as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CarrAmerica Realty Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

CARRAMERICA REALTY CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Business
We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT). We focus on the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of office properties, located primarily in selected suburban markets across the United States. Based on property net operating income, our most significant markets include the San Francisco Bay area, the Washington, D.C. Metro area, Southern California and Seattle/Portland. Until June 2000, we also operated an executive suites business. As discussed in note 3, we disposed of a substantial portion of our interest in this business on June 1, 2000, and we present the executive suites business as a discontinued operation. For several years, our principal shareholder was Security Capital Group Incorporated and/or affiliates (Security Capital). In November 2001, we repurchased 9.2 million shares of our common stock from Security Capital and in December 2001, Security Capital sold its remaining shares of our common stock to the public in an underwritten offering.
(b) Basis of Presentation
Our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries and affiliates are consolidated in the financial statements. We use the equity or cost methods, as appropriate in the circumstances, to account for our investments in and our share of the earnings or losses of unconsolidated entities. These entities are not controlled by us. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of an investment accounted for using the equity method or cost method has declined below its carrying value and we consider the decline to be other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the financial statements, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are required in order for us to prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant estimates are required in a number of areas, including the evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets and equity and cost method investments and evaluation of the collectibility of accounts and notes receivable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(c) Rental Property
Properties to be developed or held and used in rental operations are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, where appropriate. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of their carrying values (i.e., cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, where appropriate) or estimated fair value less costs to sell. Properties are considered held for sale when they are subject to a contract of sale meeting criteria specified by senior management (e.g., contingencies are met or waived, a nonrefundable deposit is paid, etc.). Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at that time, but operating revenues, other operating expenses and interest continue to be recognized until the date of sale. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, land with a carrying value of $5.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively, was held for sale.
Depreciation of rental properties is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated lives of our assets by class are as follows:
Base building |
30 to 50 years | |
Building components |
7 to 20 years | |
Tenant improvements |
Lesser of the terms of the leases or useful lives of the assets | |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment |
5 to 15 years |
Specifically identifiable costs associated with properties and land in development are capitalized. Capitalized costs may include salaries and related costs, real estate taxes, interest, pre-construction costs essential to the development of a property, development costs, construction costs and external acquisition costs. Costs of significant improvements, renovations and replacements to rental properties are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as they are incurred.
64
CARRAMERICA REALTY CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a rental property to be held and used or land held for development may be impaired, we perform a recoverability analysis based on estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the property in the future. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value cannot be recovered from future undiscounted cash flows, the property is written down to estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.
We recognize gains from sales of rental properties and land at the time of sale using the full accrual method, provided that various criteria related to the terms of the transactions and any subsequent involvement by us with the properties sold are met. If the criteria are not met, we defer the gains and recognize them when the criteria are met or using the installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate in the circumstances.
(d) Geographic Concentration
As of December 31, 2002, we owned greater than 50% interests in and consolidated 260 operating office buildings located in the United States. The following table summarizes the number of buildings, the rentable square footage and the percentage of property operating income by market.

(e) Tenant Leasing Costs
We defer fees and initial direct costs incurred in the negotiation of completed leases. They are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease to which they apply.
(f) Deferred Financing Costs
We defer fees and costs incurred to obtain financing. They are amortized using the interest method over the term of the loan to which they apply.
(g) Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of their short-term maturities. Fair value information relating to mortgages and notes payable is provided in note 2.
(h) Revenue Recognition
We recognize minimum base rental revenue under tenant leases on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Accrued straight-line rents represent the rental revenue recognized in excess of rents due under the lease agreements at the balance sheet date. We recognize revenues for recoveries from tenants of real estate taxes, insurance and other costs in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. We recognize revenues for rents
65
CARRAMERICA REALTY CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
that are based on a percentage of a tenants sales in excess of levels specified in the lease agreement when the tenants sales actually exceed the specified minimum level. We recognize lease termination fees on the termination date. We recognized lease termination fees of $4.4 million, $2.5 million and $6.7 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These fees are included in parking and other tenant charges in the Statements of Operations.
We recognize revenue for services on properties we manage, lease or develop for unconsolidated entities or third parties when the services are performed. Revenue for development and leasing services to affiliates is reduced to eliminate profit to the extent of our ownership interest.
We provide for potentially uncollectible accounts and notes receivable and accrued straight-line rents based on analysis of the risk of loss on specific accounts. The analysis places particular emphasis on past-due accounts and considers information such as the nature and age of the receivable, the payment history of the tenant or other debtor, the financial condition of the tenant and our assessment of its ability to meet its lease obligations, the basis for any disputes and the status of related negotiations, etc. During 2002, 2001 and 2000, we recognized bad debt expense of $7.1 million, $5.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
(i) Income and Other Taxes
In general, a REIT that meets certain organizational and operational requirements and distributes at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders in a taxable year will not be subject to income tax to the extent of the income it distributes. We qualify and intend to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a result, no provision for federal income taxes on income from continuing operations is required, except for taxes on certain property sales and on taxable income, if any, of our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS). If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes and to federal income tax and excise tax on any undistributed income.
We incurred current federal and state income and franchise taxes of approximately $0.3 million, $1.3 million and $44.5 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Deferred income taxes of our TRSs are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities of our TRSs and their respective tax bases and for their operating loss and interest deduction carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and other factors. The components of deferred income taxes are summarized as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, we had a valuation allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax assets of our TRSs as we do not believe that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized. The net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2002 expire between 2009 and 2021.
Reconciliation of Net Income to Estimated Taxable Income (Unaudited)
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due primarily to differences in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation of rental property, in the carrying value (basis) of investments in properties and unconsolidated entities and in the timing of recognition of certain revenues and expenses for tax and financial reporting purposes.

(j) Earnings Per Share
Our basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Our diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effects of convertible securities are computed using the if-converted method. The dilutive effects of options, warrants and their equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method.

Income from continuing operations has been reduced by preferred stock dividends of $30,055, $34,705 and $35,206 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The effects of convertible units in CarrAmerica Realty, L.P. and Carr Realty, L.P. and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are not included in the calculation of diluted EPS for any year in which their effect is antidilutive.
(k) Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents except that any such investments purchased with funds on deposit in escrow or similar accounts are classified as restricted deposits.
(l) Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging
We manage our capital structure to reflect a long-term investment approach, generally seeking to match the stable return nature of our assets with a mix of equity and various debt instruments. We mainly use fixed rate debt instruments in order to match the returns from our real estate assets. We also utilize variable rate debt for short-term financing purposes or to protect against the risk, at certain times, that fixed rates may overstate our long-term costs of borrowing if assumed inflation or growth in the economy implicit in higher fixed interest rates do no materialize. At times, our mix of variable and fixed rate debt may not suit our needs. At those times, we may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate caps and swaps, forward interest rate options or interest rate options in order to assist us in managing our debt mix. We either will hedge our variable rate debt to give it a fixed interest rate or hedge our fixed rate debt to give it a variable interest rate.
Under interest rate cap agreements, we make initial premium payments to the counterparties in exchange for the right to receive payments from them if interest rates exceed specified levels during the agreement period. Under
68
CARRAMERICA REALTY CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
interest rate swap agreements, we and the counterparties agree to exchange the difference between fixed rate and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to specified notional principal amounts during the agreement period. Notional principal amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions, but the cash requirements and amounts subject to credit risk are substantially less. Parties to interest rate cap and swap agreements are subject to market risk for changes in interest rates and credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. We do not require any collateral under these agreements but deal only with highly rated institutional counterparties and do no expect that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at their fair value. Subject to certain qualifying conditions, we may designate a derivative as either a hedge of the cash flows from a variable rate debt instrument or anticipated transaction (cash flow hedge) or a hedge of the fair value of a fixed rate debt instrument (fair value hedge). For those derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge, we report the fair value gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity to the extent the hedge is effective. We recognize these fair value gains or losses in earnings during the period(s) in which the hedged item affects earnings. For a derivative qualifying as a fair value hedge, we report fair value gains or losses in earnings along with fair value gains or losses on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. Most of our derivative financial instruments qualify as a fair value hedge. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market through earnings. Amounts receivable or payable under interest rate cap and swap agreements are accounted for as adjustments to interest expense on the related debt.
(m) | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income |
We currently do not have any items of other comprehensive income. Prior to the merger of HQ Global with VANTAS (see note 4), we had foreign currency translation adjustments relating to HQ Globals foreign affiliates. Our comprehensive income consisting of net income and translation adjustments was $179.5 million in 2000.
(n) | Segment Information |
We have one reportable business segment: real estate property operations. Business activities and operating segments that are not reportable are included in other operations.
(o) | Stock/Unit Compensation Plans |
Through 2002, we applied the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations to account for our stock/unit compensation plans. Under this method, we record compensation expense for awards of stock, options or units to employees only if the market price of the unit or stock on the grant date exceeds the amount the employee is required to pay to acquire the unit or stock.
The following table summarizes pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share if the fair value method had been used to account for all stock-based compensation awards made since 1995.

(p) | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 2001. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives from an amortization approach to an impairment-only approach. Adoption of SFAS No. 142 in January 2002 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. The Statement does not change the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121; however, it resolves various implementation issues of SFAS No. 121 and establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. It retains the requirement of Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations but extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment, or in distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Adoption of SFAS No. 144 in January 2002 did not have a material effect on our financial statements. However, in the event we sell a property on terms where we have limited or no continuing involvement with the property after such sale we are required to reclassify that propertys previously reported earnings to discontinued operations. We are also required to present assets held for sale and the related liabilities separately in our consolidated balance sheets if we meet the applicable criteria of SFAS No. 144.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. For 2002, the Interpretation requires certain disclosures which we have included in Note 13. Beginning in 2003, the Interpretation requires recognition of liabilities at their fair value for newly issued guarantees. We do not anticipate that adoption of Interpretation No. 45 will have a material effect on our financial statements.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and requires disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. We have adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148. Beginning January 1, 2003, we will adopt the prospective transition method for all new stock compensation awards. We do not anticipate that adoption of SFAS No. 148 will have a material effect on our financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. This Interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional

subordinated financial support from other parties. We do not anticipate that adoption of Interpretation No. 46 will have a material effect on our financial statements.

Mortgages payable are collateralized by properties and generally require monthly principal and/or interest payments. Mortgages payable mature at various dates from December 2003 through July 2029. The weighted average interest rate of mortgages payable was 7.98% at December 31, 2002 and 8.04% at December 31, 2001. The net book value of properties pledged as collateral for mortgages payable was $510.4 million and $653.6 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
In June 2001, we closed on a new three-year $500.0 million unsecured credit line facility with J.P. Morgan Chase, as agent for a group of banks. We can extend the life of the line an additional year at our option. The line carries an interest rate of 70 basis points over 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). As of December 31, 2002, $88.0 million was drawn on the credit facility, $1.2 million in letters of credit were outstanding and we had $410.8 million available for borrowing.
Our unsecured credit facility contains financial and other covenants with which we must comply. Some of these covenants include:
* | A minimum ratio of annual EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to interest expense; |
* | A minimum ratio of annual EBITDA to fixed charges; |
* | A maximum ratio of aggregate unsecured debt to unencumbered assets; |
* | A maximum ratio of total debt to tangible fair market value of our assets; and |
* | Restrictions on our ability to make dividend distributions in excess of 90% of funds from operations. |
Availability under the unsecured credit facility is also limited to a specified percentage of the fair value of our unmortgaged properties.

Restricted deposits consist primarily of escrow deposits. These deposits are required by lenders to be used for future building renovations or tenant improvements or as collateral for letters of credit.
The estimated fair value of our mortgages payable at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $438.5 million and $494.5 million, respectively. The estimated fair value is based on the borrowing rates available to us for fixed rate mortgages payable with similar terms and average maturities. The fair value of the unsecured credit facility at December 31, 2002 and 2001 approximates book value. The estimated fair value of our senior unsecured

notes at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $1,182.1 million and $489.8 million, respectively. The estimated fair value is based on the borrowing rates available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities.
(3) | Derivative Financial Instruments |
On May 8, 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap agreements with JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America, N.A. hedging $150.0 million of senior unsecured notes due July 2004. We receive interest at a fixed rate of 7.2% and pay interest at a variable rate of six-month LIBOR in arrears plus 2.72%. The interest rate swaps mature at the same time the notes are due. The swaps qualify as fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Net semi-annual settlement payments are recognized as increases or decreases to interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recognized on our balance sheet and the carrying value of the senior unsecured notes is increased or decreased by an offsetting amount. As of December 31, 2002, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was approximately $5.3 million. We recognized a reduction in interest expense for 2002 of approximately $2.7 million, related to the swaps. As of December 31, 2002, taking into account the effect of the interest rate swaps, the effective interest rate on the notes was reduced to 4.2%.
On November 20, 2002, in conjunction with the issuance of $175.0 million of senior unsecured, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, N.A. and Goldman Sachs & Co. We receive interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% and pay interest at a variable rate of six-month LIBOR in arrears plus 1.405%. The interest rate swaps mature at the same time the notes are due. The swaps qualify as fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Net semi-annual settlement payments are recognized as increases or decreases to interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recognized on our balance sheet and the carrying value of the senior unsecured notes is increased or decreased by an offsetting amount. As of December 31, 2002, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was approximately $2.2 million. We recognized a reduction in interest expense for 2002 of approximately $0.4 million, related to the swaps. As of December 31, 2002, taking into account the effect of the interest rate swaps, the effective interest rate on the notes was reduced to 3.1%.
As part of the assumption of $63.5 million of debt associated with the purchase of two operating properties in August 2002, we purchased interest rate caps with a notional amount of $97.0 million and LIBOR capped at 6.75%. As of December 31, 2002, the fair market value of these interest rate caps was not material.
(4) | HQ Global Workplaces, Inc. |
In 1997, we began making investments in HQ Global Workplaces, Inc. (HQ Global), a provider of executive office suites. On June 1, 2000, we, along with HQ Global, VANTAS Incorporated (VANTAS) and FrontLine Capital Group (FrontLine), consummated several transactions including (i) the merger of VANTAS with and into HQ Global, (ii) the acquisition by FrontLine of shares of HQ Global common stock from us and other stockholders of HQ Global, and (iii) the acquisition by VANTAS of our debt and equity interests in OmniOffices (UK) Limited and OmniOffices LUX 1929 Holding Company S.A. We received $377.3 million in cash in connection with these transactions. In addition, $140.5 million of debt which we had guaranteed was repaid with a portion of the cash proceeds. Following the transaction, we owned approximately 16% of the equity of HQ Global on a diluted basis and our investment had a carrying value of $42.2 million.
FrontLine, the majority stockholder of HQ Global, announced in October 2001 that HQ Global was in default with respect to certain covenant and payment obligations under its senior and mezzanine term indebtedness, was in a forbearance period with HQ Global lenders and was actively negotiating with those lenders. In November 2001, FrontLine disclosed that it had recognized an impairment in the value of intangible assets relating to HQ Global due to HQ Globals trend of operating losses and its inability to remain in compliance with the terms of its debt arrangements. Based on these factors, our analysis of the financial condition and operating results of HQ Global (which deteriorated significantly during 2001 as the economic slowdown reduced the demand for temporary office space, particularly from technology-related tenants) and the losses of key board members and executives by HQ Global, particularly in the last half of 2001, we determined in the fourth quarter of 2001, that our investment in HQ Global was impaired. We recorded a $42.2 million impairment charge, reducing the carrying value of our remaining investment in HQ Global to zero.
On March 13, 2002, HQ Global filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws. During 1997 and 1998, to assist HQ Global as it grew its business, we provided guarantees of HQ Globals performance under four office leases. To our knowledge, all monthly rent payments were made by HQ Global
73
CARRAMERICA REALTY CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
under two of these leases through January 2002, and rental payments under the other two leases were made through February 2002.
In the course of its bankruptcy proceedings, HQ Global has filed motions to reject two of these four leases. One lease is for space in San Jose, California. This lease is for approximately 22,000 square feet of space at two adjacent buildings and runs through October 2008. Total aggregate remaining lease payments under this lease as of February 1, 2002 were approximately $6.2 million (approximately $0.7 million of which was payable in 2002); however, our liability under this guarantee was limited to approximately $2.0 million. We reached an agreement with the landlord of this lease under which we paid $1.75 million in full satisfaction of the guarantee in January 2003. We recognized this expense in 2002.
The second lease that was rejected by HQ Global is a sublease for space in downtown Manhattan. This lease is for approximately 26,000 square feet of space and runs through March 2008, with total aggregate remaining lease payments as of February 1, 2002 of approximately $5.4 million (approximately $0.8 million of which was payable in 2002). In June 2002, we received a demand for payment of the full amount of the guarantee. However, we believe that we have defenses to payment under this guarantee available to us and joined with HQ Global in filing suit on July 24, 2002 in HQ Globals bankruptcy proceedings asking the bankruptcy court to declare that the lease was terminated by the landlord of the sublease not later than February 28, 2002. On July 26, 2002, the landlord under the sublease filed suit in federal court in New York seeking payment from us under this guarantee. In light of our defenses and these proceedings, we have not accrued any expense relating to this guarantee; however, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the pending litigation or that we will not incur expense or be required to make cash payments relating to this guarantee up to the full amount of the guarantee. As of December 31, 2002, we had not made any payments under this guarantee.
HQ Global has not filed a motion seeking to reject the remaining two leases that we have guaranteed, although it could do so in the future. Even if the leases are not rejected, we may ultimately be liable to the lessors for payments due under the leases. In one case, the lease is for approximately 25,000 square feet of space in midtown Manhattan, and our liability is currently capped at approximately $0.5 million, which liability reduces over the life of the lease until its expiration in September 2007. As of December 31, 2002, we have not accrued any expense related to or made any payments under this guarantee.
The remaining lease is for space in San Mateo, California. This lease is for approximately 19,000 square feet of space and runs through January 2013, with total aggregate remaining lease payments as of March 1, 2002 of approximately $10.4 million (approximately $0.6 million of which was payable in 2002). We initially recognized an expense of $0.4 million under this guarantee in the first quarter of 2002 based on a tentative agreement with HQ Global under which HQ Global would not reject this lease obligation and we would fund HQ Globals operating losses at this location for a limited period of time. Due to deteriorating conditions in the local commercial real estate market, HQ Global subsequently determined that the tentative agreement was not in its best interest. HQ Global indicated to us that it intended to reject this lease unless its rent was reduced to current market rates. As an interim measure, we entered into an agreement with HQ Global as of June 30, 2002 to fund operating losses at this location up to an aggregate amount of $130,000 in exchange for HQ Global forbearing from rejecting this lease until September 15, 2002, or if it obtained from the bankruptcy court an extension of time within which to reject leases, November 1, 2002. Because the bankruptcy court has since twice extended the time period within which HQ Global may reject this lease to May 9, 2003, we have twice extended the existing forbearance agreement in exchange for funding operating losses up to an additional aggregate amount of $245,000. As a result of our efforts to mitigate our exposure under this guarantee, we entered into agreements with HQ Global in January 2003 under which HQ Global assigned its interest as a tenant in this lease to us and we in turn subleased the space back to HQ Global at current market rates. These agreements remain subject to approval by both the bankruptcy court and the landlord under the lease. In addition, these agreements will not be enforceable if HQ Global fails to successfully reorganize and emerge from the bankruptcy proceedings. There can be no assurance that the necessary approvals will be granted, that material changes to the agreements will not be required to gain approvals, or that HQ Global will successfully reorganize and emerge from the bankruptcy proceedings. We increased our provision for loss under this guarantee to $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2002 and this continues to represent the amount we have determined to be our likely exposure under this guarantee as of December 31, 2002. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be required to further increase our provision or make cash payments related to this guarantee in future periods up to, in the aggregate, the full amount of the guarantee. As of December 31, 2002, we had not made any payments under this guarantee.

(5) | Minority Interest |
At the time we were incorporated and our majority-owned subsidiary, Carr Realty, L.P. was formed, those who contributed interests in properties to Carr Realty, L.P. had the right to elect to receive either our common stock or units of limited partnership interest in Carr Realty, L.P. In addition, we have acquired assets since our formation by issuing distribution paying units and non-distribution paying units of Carr Realty, L.P. and CarrAmerica Realty, L.P.The non-distribution paying units cannot receive any distributions until they automatically convert into distribution paying units in the future. During 2002, 2001 and 2000, 89,357, 89,357 and 163,598 non-distribution paying units, respectively, were converted to distribution paying units. A distribution paying unit, subject to restrictions, may be redeemed at any time for either one share of our common stock, or at our option, cash equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock at the redemption date. When a Unitholder redeems a distribution paying unit for a share of common stock or cash, minority interest is reduced and our investment in Carr Realty, L.P. or CarrAmerica Realty, L.P., as appropriate, is increased. During 2002, 2001 and 2000, 278,799, 61,432 and 292,739 distribution paying units, respectively, of Carr Realty, L.P. were redeemed for cash or our common stock. During 2002, 2001 and 2000, 25,509, 52,782 and 146,151 units, respectively, of CarrAmerica Realty, L.P. were redeemed for cash or our common stock. Minority interest in the financial statements relates primarily to Unitholders.

We utilize joint venture arrangements on projects characterized by large dollar-per-square foot costs and/or when we desire to limit capital deployment in certain of our markets. We own interests ranging from 15% to 50% in real estate property operations and development operations through unconsolidated entities. We had ten investments at December 31, 2002 and eleven investments at December 31, 2001 and 2000 in these entities. Adjustments are made to equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities to account for differences in the amount at which the investment is carried and the amount of underlying equity in the net assets.
The combined condensed financial information for the unconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method is as follows:

In addition to making investments in these ventures, we provide construction management, leasing and property management, development and architectural and other services to them. We earned fees for these services of $8.0 million in 2002, $14.2 million in 2001 and $8.9 million in 2000. Accounts receivable from joint ventures and other affiliates were $1.7 million at December 31, 2002 and $3.2 million at December 31, 2001.
Other material related party transactions include general contracting and other services from Clark Enterprises, Inc., an entity in which one of our directors is the majority stockholder. We, including our unconsolidated affiliates, paid $36.1 million in 2002, $25.1 million in 2001 and $10.0 million in 2000 to Clark Enterprises, Inc. for these services. Substantially all of the payments related to our unconsolidated affiliates. We also have a consulting agreement with Oliver Carr, one of our directors, under which Mr. Carr provides services to us. We paid Mr. Carr $105,000 in 2002 and 2001 and $52,500 in 2000. The agreement expires in June 2003.
As of December 31, 2002, we guaranteed $26.5 million of debt related to a joint venture and $21.0 million of debt related to a development project we have undertaken with a third party.
In November 2001, we repurchased 9.2 million shares of our common stock from Security Capital for a total of $265.4 million or $28.85 per share.
We have investments in two companies, V Technologies International Corporation (Agilquest) and essention, which we account for using the cost method. These are startup entities in which we invested $2.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively. To date, neither company has had any substantial earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we recognized an impairment of $500,000 on our investment in essention because we believe the value of our investment was partially impaired. If, in the future, these companies fail to achieve their business plans, additional impairment charges related to our investments may be required.

Leases also provide for additional rent based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and increases in operating expenses. Increases are generally payable in equal installments throughout the year.
We lease land for two office properties located in metropolitan Washington, D.C. and one office property located in Santa Clara, California. We also lease land adjacent to an office property in Chicago, Illinois and office space in metropolitan Washington, D.C. for our own use, with part of this space being subleased to tenants. On October 2, 2002 in connection with the acquisition of a property, we entered into a ground lease agreement with Stanford University in Palo Alto, California for 51 years with minimum annual base rent of $800,000 along with a percentage rent based on the propertys operating performance. The initial terms of these leases range from 5 years to 99 years. The longest lease matures in 2086. The minimum base annual rental payment for these leases is $4.2 million.
(8) | Common and Preferred Stock |
Over the past three years, our Board of Directors authorized us to spend up to $400.0 million to repurchase our common and preferred shares not including stock repurchased from Security Capital in 2001 or the redemption of 4.0 million of Series B Preferred shares in 2002 which were separately authorized. During 2000 and 2001, we acquired approximately 8.7 million shares of common stock for $253.1 million, an average price of $29.03 per share, exclusive of 9.2 million shares repurchased from Security Capital at $28.85 per share under the separate authorization in November 2001. During 2002, we repurchased an additional 1.4 million shares of common stock for $35.9 million at an average price of $25.63 per share. During 2002, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of our preferred stock for approximately $45.5 million, exclusive of 4.0 million Series B preferred shares redeemed for $100.0 million under the separate authorization in September 2002.
We are authorized to issue 35 million shares of preferred stock. On October 25, 1996, we issued 1,740,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) at $25 per share. Dividends for the Series A Preferred Stock were cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears in an amount per share equal to the greater of $1.75 per share per year or the cash dividend paid on the number of shares of our common stock into which a share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible. Series A Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $25 per share. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into one share of common stock (subject to conversion adjustments), at the option of the holder. As of December 31, 2002, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock.

The Series C and D shares are Depositary Shares. They each represent a 1/10 fractional interest in a share of preferred stock. Dividends for the Series B, C and D shares are cumulative from the date of issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of February, May, August and November. These preferred shares are redeemable at our option.
(9) | Stock/Unit Compensation Plans |
As of December 31, 2002, we had three option plans. Two plans are for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers and other key employees (1997 Employee Stock Option and Incentive Plan and the 1993 Carr Realty Option Plan). The other plan is for the purpose of attracting and retaining directors who are not employees (1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan).
The 1997 Employee Stock Option and Incentive Plan (Stock Option Plan) allows for the grant of options to purchase our common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. At December 31, 2002, we had options and units to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock and units reserved so we could issue them under the Stock Option Plan. At December 31, 2002, 5,276,111 options were outstanding. All of the outstanding options have a 10-year term from the date of grant. 3,262,748 options vest over a four-year period, 25% per year, 381,000 options vest at the end of five years, 69,526 options vest over a three-year period, 33.3% per year and 29,364 vest within the first year after grant. The balance of the options vests over a five-year period, 20% per year.
The 1993 Carr Realty Option Plan allows for the grant of options to purchase units of Carr Realty, L.P. (unit options). These options are exercisable at the fair market value of the units at the date of grant, which is equivalent to the fair market value of our common stock on that date. Units (following exercise of unit options) are redeemable for cash or common stock, at our option. At December 31, 2002, we had options to purchase 1,266,900 units authorized for grant under this plan, of which 159,422 were outstanding. All of the outstanding options have a 10-year term from the date of grant and vest over five years, 20% per year.
The 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase our common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Under this plan, newly elected non-employee directors are granted options to purchase 3,000 shares of common stock when they start serving as a director. In connection with each annual election of directors, a continuing non-employee director will receive options to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock. The stock options have a 10-year term from the date of grant and vest over three years, 33 1/3% per year. At December 31, 2002, we had 270,000 options on shares of common stock authorized for grant under this plan with 91,693 outstanding.

We have also granted to key executives 831,003 restricted stock units under the 1997 Stock Option Plan. The stock units were granted at a zero exercise price and are convertible to shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis as they vest at the option of the executive. The fair market values of the units at the dates of grant range from $20.69 to $32.05 per unit. The units vest over five years, at 20% per year. We recognize the fair value of the units awarded at dates of grant as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the terms of the awards. Compensation expense related to these awards was $4.3 million in 2002, $2.6 million in 2001 and $3.0 million in 2000. During 2002, we began to exchange unvested stock units for shares of restricted common stock with the same terms as the unvested units. During 2002, 73,797 units were exchanged and the remaining unvested units (194,872 units as of December 31, 2002) are expected to be exchanged during 2003.

We dispose of assets (sometimes using tax-deferred exchanges) that are inconsistent with our long-term strategic or return objectives or where market conditions for sale are favorable. The proceeds from the sales are redeployed into other properties or used to fund development operations or to support other corporate needs.
During 2002, we disposed of four operating properties recognizing a gain of $34.7 million, including a gain of $4.9 million relating to our share of gain on a sale of a property which we held an interest through an unconsolidated entity. Approximately $19.1 million of the gain relates to our Commons at Las Colinas property with which we have no continuing involvement after the sale. Accordingly, the gain and the results of operations of the property are classified as discontinued operations. The balance of the gain related to properties we continue to manage under management agreements. The gain on these sales and the operating results of the properties are not classified as discontinued operations due to our continuing involvement. We also recognized impairment losses of $2.5 million on land holdings.
As required by SFAS No. 144, the operating results of the Commons at Las Colinas property are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Statements of Operations. Operating results of the property are summarized as follows:

During 2001, we disposed of seven operating properties, one property under development and three parcels of land held for development. We recognized a gain of $4.5 million on these transactions. We also recognized an impairment loss of $1.5 million on land holdings .
During 2000, we disposed of 16 operating properties (including one property in which we held an interest through an unconsolidated entity) and four parcels of land that were being held for development. We recognized a gain of $24.1 million on these transactions, net of taxes of $5.6 million, including a net gain of $8.8 million relating to our share of gain on the sale of a property in which we held an interest through an unconsolidated entity.
On August 17, 2000, we closed on a joint venture transaction with New York State Teachers Retirement System (NYSTRS). At closing, we and some affiliates contributed properties to the joint venture, Carr Office Park, L.L.C., and NYSTRS contributed cash of approximately $255.1 million. The joint venture encompasses five suburban office parks (including 26 rental properties and land held for development of additional properties) in four markets. We received approximately $249.6 million and a 35% interest in the joint venture in exchange for the properties contributed and recognized a gain on the partial sale of $20.1 million, net of taxes of $13.1 million.
In 2000 we recognized an impairment loss of $7.9 million on land. For various reasons, we determined that we would not proceed with planned development of rental properties on certain of our land holdings and decided to market the land for sale. As a result, we evaluated the recoverability of the carrying amounts of the land. We

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
determined that the carrying amounts would not be recovered from estimated net sale proceeds in certain cases and, in those cases, we recognized impairment losses.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies
At December 31, 2002, we were liable on $1.2 million in letters of credit. We were contingently liable for letters of credit related to various completion escrows and on performance bonds amounting to approximately $1.4 million to ensure completion of required public improvements on our construction projects.
We have a 401(k) plan for employees under which we match 75% of employee contributions up to the first 6% of pay. We also have the option to make a base contribution of 3% of pay for participants who remain employed on December 31 (end of the plan year). Our contributions to the plan are subject to an initial four-year vesting, 25% per year. Prior to 2001, the vesting schedule was a five-year graduated vesting schedule, and our contribution was 50% of employee contributions up to the first 4% of pay. Our contributions to the plan were $3.1 million in 2002, $3.0 million in 2001 and $1.6 million in 2000.
We are currently involved in two separate lawsuits with two stockholders of HQ Global. The first lawsuit involves the September 1998 conversion of an approximately $111.0 million loan that we made to HQ Global into stock of HQ Global. We, along with HQ Global, initiated this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in February 1999, asking the court to declare that the terms of the debt conversion were fair, after two minority stockholders threatened to challenge the terms of the conversion. These stockholders had claimed that both the conversion price used and the methods by which the conversion price was agreed upon between HQ Global and us were not fair to HQ Global or these stockholders. Thereafter, these two stockholders filed their own counterclaims against HQ Global, the board of directors of HQ Global and us. The stockholders asked the court to declare the conversion void, or in the alternative for compensatory and punitive damages. On September 12, 2001, the trial court granted these stockholders motion for summary judgment, declaring that the shares issued in connection with the conversion were null and void. We believe that the trial court incorrectly interpreted Delaware law in this case. We appealed this decision on October 2, 2001. We recognize that, in light of the trial courts finding, there is a reasonable possibility that we will be unsuccessful in overturning the courts decision. In that event, there are a number of possible outcomes, including a reduction in our equity interest in HQ Global or a cash payment by us to these stockholders. We currently believe that the value of any loss we may incur from this matter should not exceed $10 million including losses under directors indemnification discussed below, although we cannot assure you that this will be the case.
81
CARRAMERICA REALTY CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The second lawsuit involves claims filed by these two stockholders in April 2000 arising out of the June 2000 merger transaction involving HQ Global and VANTAS Incorporated. In this lawsuit, these two stockholders have brought claims against HQ Global, the board of directors of HQ Global, FrontLine Capital Group and us in Delaware Chancery Court. The two stockholders allege that, in connection with the merger transaction, we breached our fiduciary duties to the two stockholders and breached a contract with the stockholders. The claim relates principally to the allocation of consideration paid to us with respect to our interest in an affiliate of HQ Global that conducts international executive suites operations. The stockholders asked the court to rescind the transaction, or in the alternative for compensatory and rescissory damages. The court recently determined that it would not rescind the merger transaction, but held open the possibility that compensatory damages could be awarded or that another equitable remedy might be available. We believe that these claims are without merit and that we will ultimately prevail in this action, although we cannot assure you that the court will not find in favor of these stockholders. We believe, however, that, even if the court finds in favor of these stockholders, any such adverse result will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
In connection with the HQ Global/VANTAS merger transaction, we agreed to indemnify all of the individuals who served as directors of HQ Global at the time of the transaction, including Thomas Carr, Oliver Carr and Philip Hawkins, who currently serve as directors and/or executive officers of us, with respect to any losses incurred by them arising out of the above litigation matters, if they first tried and were unsuccessful in getting the losses reimbursed by HQ Global or from insurance proceeds. It was expected at the time that these former directors would be indemnified against any of these losses by HQ Global, as required by HQ Globals certificate of incorporation and bylaws. HQ Global has not satisfied its indemnity obligation to these directors, and in light of HQ Globals bankruptcy filing in March 2002, is not likely to do so in the future. As a result, we have paid the costs incurred by these directors in connection with the above litigation matters. As of December 31, 2002, we had paid approximately $615,000 of costs pursuant to this indemnification arrangement, all of which represents amounts paid to legal counsel for these directors.
We are currently involved in two lawsuits arising out of a sublease entered into by HQ Global in March 1998 and our guarantee to the landlord of the performance of HQ Globals obligations under the sublease. On March 13, 2002 HQ Global filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In its bankruptcy proceedings, HQ Global rejected the sublease effective April 30, 2002. In June 2002, we received a demand for payment by the landlord of the full amount of the guarantee (approximately $5.4 million of rent payments remain under the sublease).
We believe, however, that we have defenses to making payment under the guarantee and therefore joined with HQ Global in filing suit on July 24, 2002 in HQ Globals bankruptcy proceedings asking the bankruptcy court to declare that the sublease was terminated not later than February 28, 2002. In February 2002, HQ Global, with the knowledge of the landlord, vacated the space it was subleasing and surrendered possession of the space to the landlord. The landlord then began utilizing the space for its own benefit, as a storage and staging area related to construction the landlord was performing on other space it occupied. We believe that the landlords use of the space effectively terminated the sublease as a matter of law and that therefore we have no obligation to make payments under the guarantee.
On July 26, 2002, the landlord under the sublease filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking payment from us under the guarantee. The District Court in New York ruled that the bankruptcy court should determine which of the two courts should decide this dispute. The bankruptcy court has not yet decided that issue.
In light of our defenses and these proceedings, we have not accrued any expense relating to this guarantee; however, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the pending litigation or that we will not incur expense or be required to make cash payments relating to this guarantee up to the full amount of the guarantee. As of December 31, 2002, we had not made any payments under this guarantee. However, even if the landlord were successful in its claims, we do not believe that this result would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
In the course of our normal business activities, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against us. Based on currently available facts, we believe that the disposition of matters that
82

are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note: Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2001 includes an impairment loss of $42.2 million ($0.74 per share, basic and diluted) on our investment in HQ Global. Quarterly amounts have been restated to reflect property sold in 2002 with which we have no continuing involvement as discontinued operations.
(15) Segment Information
Our only reportable operating segment is real estate property operations. Other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable are included in other operations. The performance measure we use to assess results for real estate property operations is segment operating income. We define segment operating income as total rental revenue less property expenses, which include property operating expenses (other than depreciation and amortization) and real estate taxes. The real estate property operations segment includes the operation and management of rental properties including those classified as discontinued operations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 1.
Operating results of our reportable segment and our other operations are summarized as follows:

(16) | Supplemental Cash Flow Information |
In August 2002, we assumed $63.5 million of debt related to the purchase of two operating properties. The total purchase price of the properties was approximately $141.5 million.
In January 2002, 80,000 shares of our Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock were converted to shares of common stock, retiring all remaining shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock.
Our employees converted approximately $1.8 million, $1.8 million and $1.0 million in restricted units to 78,280 shares, 80,532 shares and 29,360 shares of common stock during 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
In April 2001, we exercised an option under a loan agreement to acquire two office buildings and related land located in the San Francisco Bay area. For financial reporting purposes, we had classified the loan as an investment in an unconsolidated entity and accounted for it using the equity method. The investment, which had a carrying value of approximately $50.3 million at the date the option was exercised, was reclassified to rental property in connection with this transaction.
On June 29, 2001, we contributed land subject to a note payable of approximately $26.0 million to a joint venture in exchange for a 30% ownership interest. Our initial investment in the joint venture amounted to $7.3 million, the net book value of the asset and liability contributed.
In 2001 and 2000, 400,000 shares and 200,000 shares, respectively, of our Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock were converted to shares of common stock.
In August 2000, we contributed $332.1 million of assets to an unconsolidated joint venture, Carr Office Park, L.L.C.
