EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and BioMed Realty, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership of which BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. is the parent company and general partner. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our” or “our company” refer to BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including BioMed Realty, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to BioMed Realty, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. operates as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and is the general partner of BioMed Realty, L.P. As of September 30, 2015, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. owned an approximate 97.5% partnership interest and other limited partners, including some of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining 2.5% partnership interest (including long term incentive plan units) in BioMed Realty, L.P. As the sole general partner of BioMed Realty, L.P., BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
There are a few differences between our company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosure in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our company and our operating partnership in the context of how BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. operate as an interrelated consolidated company. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the operating partnership. As a result, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of BioMed Realty, L.P., issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of BioMed Realty, L.P. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. itself does not hold any indebtedness but guarantees some of the secured and unsecured debt of BioMed Realty, L.P. BioMed Realty, L.P. holds substantially all the assets of the company and holds the ownership interests in the company’s joint ventures. BioMed Realty, L.P. conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly-traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., which are generally contributed to BioMed Realty, L.P. in exchange for partnership units, BioMed Realty, L.P. generates the capital required by the company’s business through BioMed Realty, L.P.’s operations, by BioMed Realty, L.P.’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.
Noncontrolling interests and stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and those of BioMed Realty, L.P. The operating partnership and long term incentive plan units in BioMed Realty, L.P. that are not owned by BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. are accounted for as partners’ capital in BioMed Realty, L.P.’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in BioMed Realty, L.P.’s financial statements include the interests of joint venture partners. The noncontrolling interests in BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the BioMed Realty, L.P. level as well as the limited partnership unit holders of BioMed Realty, L.P., not including BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. The differences between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from the differences in the equity issued at the BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. levels.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. into this single report:
| |
• | better reflects how management and the analyst community view the business as a single operating unit, |
| |
• | enhances investor understanding of our company by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management, |
| |
• | is more efficient for our company and results in savings in time, effort and expense, and |
| |
• | is more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review. |
To help investors understand the significant differences between our company and our operating partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P.:
| |
• | consolidated financial statements, |
| |
• | the following notes to the consolidated financial statements: |
| |
• | Equity / Partners’ Capital, |
| |
• | Earnings Per Share / Unit, |
| |
• | Liquidity and Capital Resources in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and |
| |
• | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. |
This report also includes separate Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. have made the requisite certifications and BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization of the Parent Company and Description of Business
BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent Company”), operates as a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing laboratory and office space for the life science industry principally through its subsidiary, BioMed Realty, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and together with the Parent Company referred to as the “Company”). The Company’s tenants primarily include biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, scientific research institutions, government agencies and other entities involved in the life science industry. The Company’s properties are generally located in markets with well-established reputations as centers for scientific research, including Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, Maryland, New York / New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Seattle, Cambridge (United Kingdom) and research parks located near or adjacent to universities and their related medical systems.
The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of September 30, 2015, owned a 97.5% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 2.5% interest in the Operating Partnership is held by limited partners. Each partner’s percentage interest in the Operating Partnership is determined based on the number of operating partnership units and long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP units” and together with the operating partnership units, the “OP units”) owned as compared to total OP units (and potentially issuable OP units, as applicable) outstanding as of each period end and is used as the basis for the allocation of net income or loss to each partner.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been recorded. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes therein included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income as previously reported.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, partnerships and limited liability companies that it controls, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company consolidates entities the Company controls and records a noncontrolling interest for the portions not owned by the Company. Control is determined, where applicable, by the sufficiency of equity invested and the rights of the equity holders, and by the ownership of a majority of the voting interests, with consideration given to the existence of approval or veto rights granted to the minority stockholder. If the minority stockholder holds substantive participating rights, it overcomes the presumption of control by the majority voting interest holder. In contrast, if the minority stockholder simply holds protective rights (such as consent rights over certain actions), it does not overcome the presumption of control by the majority voting interest holder.
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries outside the United States with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates. Income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, total revenues from properties outside the United States were $4.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, which represented 2.6% and 3.8% of the Company's total revenues during the respective periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, total revenues from properties outside the United States were $13.1 million and $16.1 million, respectively, which represented 2.6% and 3.2% of the Company's total revenues during the
respective periods. The Company’s net investments in properties outside the United States were $211.3 million and $200.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Investments in Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies
The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary in six VIEs (excluding certain VIEs associated with tax credits discussed below), consisting of single-tenant properties in which the tenant has a purchase option, which are consolidated and reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Selected financial data of the VIEs at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consist of the following (in thousands):

Historic Tax Credits and New Market Tax Credits
The Company is a party to certain contractual arrangements with tax credit investors ("TCIs") that were established to enable the TCIs to receive benefits of historic tax credits ("HTCs") and/or new market tax credits ("NMTCs") for certain properties owned by the Company. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company owned eleven and ten properties, respectively, that had syndicated HTCs or NMTCs, or both, to TCIs.
Capital contributions are made by TCIs into special purpose entities that ultimately invest these funds in the entity that owns the subject property that generates the tax credits. The TCIs are allocated substantially all of the tax credits and hold only a noncontrolling interest in the economic risk and rewards of the special purpose entities. HTCs are delivered to the TCI upon substantial completion of the project. NMTCs are allowed for up to 39% of a qualified investment and are delivered to the TCI after the investment has been funded and spent on a qualified business. HTCs are subject to 20% recapture per year beginning one year after the completion of the historic rehabilitation of the subject property. NMTCs are subject to 100% recapture until the end of the seventh year following the qualifying investment. The Company has provided the TCIs with certain guarantees which protect the TCIs from loss should a tax credit recapture event occur. The contractual arrangements with the TCIs include a put/call provision whereby the Company may be obligated or entitled to repurchase the ownership interest of the TCIs in the special purpose entities at the end of the tax credit recapture period. The Company anticipates that either the TCIs will exercise their put rights or the Company will exercise its call rights; however, the Company believes that the put rights are more likely to be exercised.
The portion of the TCI’s capital contribution that is attributed to the put is recorded at fair-value at inception and is accreted to the expected put price as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, approximately $5.6 million and $5.2 million of put liabilities, respectively, were included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The remaining balance of the TCI’s capital contribution is initially recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and is reclassified, upon delivery of the tax credit to the TCI, as a reduction in the carrying value of the subject property, net of allocated expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, $11.9 million and $22.6 million of tax credits, net of costs and estimated put payments, respectively, were contributed by TCIs and were recorded as other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, $6.3 million and $29.2 million of tax credits had been delivered to the TCIs and were reclassified as a reduction of the carrying value of the subject property. Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the transaction, consisting of third-party legal, accounting and other professional fees, are deferred and will be recognized as an increase in the cost basis of the subject property upon the recognition of the related tax credit as discussed above.
At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company determined that the special purpose entities owning two properties and one property under development, respectively, are VIEs, since there is insufficient capital to finance the remaining development activities without further subordinated financial support. The Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, because it has the authority to direct the activities which most significantly impact their economic performance. Selected financial data of the VIEs at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the long-lived asset’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a long-lived asset, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair-value of the property. The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of its investments in long-lived assets. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Although the Company’s strategy is to hold its properties over the long-term, if the Company’s strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the lower of the carrying amount or fair-value, and such loss could be material.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized impairment losses of $35.1 million, primarily related to the King of Prussia property, which was sold in May 2015. The property had been placed under active redevelopment to be held for long-term operations. However, in May 2015, the Company's strategy changed from actively redeveloping to selling with respect to this property as a result of market conditions which dictated an earlier sale. In connection with the change in strategy in May 2015, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $32.3 million once the sale of the property became probable and the property was written down to its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. No gain or loss was recognized upon completion of the sale in May 2015.
Deferred Leasing Costs, Net
Leasing commissions and other direct costs associated with obtaining new or renewal leases are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to approximately 20 years as of September 30, 2015. Deferred leasing costs also include the net carrying value of acquired in-place leases and acquired management agreements.
Deferred leasing costs, net at September 30, 2015 consisted of the following (in thousands):

(1) | Determination of fair-value is classified as Level 1 in the fair-value hierarchy based on the use of quoted prices in active markets. |
The Company holds investments in available-for-sale securities of certain publicly-traded companies. Changes in the fair-value of investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded in comprehensive income. The fair-value of the Company's equity investments in publicly-traded companies are based upon the closing trading price of the equity security as of the balance sheet date. Certain of these investments have fair-values less than the Company’s cost basis, net of previous other-than-temporary impairment in these securities due to decreases in their respective stock prices during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. However, management has the intent and ability to retain the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in their market value. Management will continue to periodically evaluate whether any investment, the fair-value of which is less than the Company’s cost basis, should be considered other-than-temporarily impaired. If other-than-temporary impairment is considered to exist, the related unrealized loss will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recorded as a reduction of net income.
The Company also holds investments in securities of certain privately-held companies and funds, which are recorded at cost basis due to the Company’s lack of control or significant influence over such companies and funds.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company realized gains of $19.5 million and $88.4 million, respectively, primarily from the sale of investments in certain publicly-traded companies. Realized gains on investments in available-for-sale securities are included in other income in the consolidated statements of income. The basis for which the cost of an investment sold and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings is determined by specific identification. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company realized a gain of $11.4 million related to the collection of a note receivable that was previously fully reserved, which is also included in other income in the consolidated statements of income.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded impairment charges of $2.7 million. Impairment charges are included as reduction to other income, net in the consolidated statements of income and primarily relate to the Company’s investments in a privately-held company. Other than these investments, there were no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the carrying value of the Company’s cost method investments and therefore, no evaluation of impairment was performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 on the Company’s remaining cost method investments.
Construction Loan Receivable
The Company had a $255.0 million interest in a $355.0 million construction loan secured by first priority mortgages on a 1.1 million square foot laboratory, office and retail development project located in Boston, Massachusetts, which is 95% leased to Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated to serve as its new corporate headquarters (the "Construction Loan"). In May 2014, the borrower repaid the then outstanding principal and accrued interest balance prior to maturity, of which the Company's portion was approximately $191.2 million.
Lease Termination
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded lease termination revenue, net of write-offs of lease intangibles, included in other revenue on the consolidated statements of income of approximately $19.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively. Lease termination revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily related to the early termination of Vertex Pharmaceuticals' leases at three of the Company's properties in Cambridge, Massachusetts in February 2015.
Lease termination revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily related to the early termination of leases at the Company's 4570 Executive Drive property and two other properties.
Management’s Estimates
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reporting of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017. However in July 2015, the FASB granted a one-year deferral of the effective date. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements as a substantial portion of the Company's revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which are specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which makes certain changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model, including changes to (1) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (2) the variable interest entity characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination. ASU 2015-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will apply the new standard on a retrospective basis and adjust the balance sheet of each individual period to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
3. Equity of the Parent Company
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Parent Company issued restricted stock awards to the Company’s employees and directors totaling 599,954 and 15,244 shares of common stock, respectively (263,914 shares of common stock were surrendered to the Company and subsequently retired in lieu of cash payments for taxes due on the vesting of restricted stock and 44,916 shares were forfeited during the same period), which are included in the total of common stock outstanding as of the period end.
The Parent Company awarded units to certain of its executive officers (the “Performance Units”), which represent a contingent right to receive one share of the Parent Company’s common stock if vesting conditions are satisfied. Outstanding Performance Units vest ratably over two or three year periods (each, a “Performance Period”) based upon the Parent Company’s total stockholder return relative to its peer group (the "Market Conditions"). The grant date fair-value of the Performance Units was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation which considered the likelihood of achieving the Market Conditions. The expected value of the Performance Units on the grant date was determined by simulating the total stockholder return for the Parent Company and the peer group, considering the stock price variance for each of the peer group companies compared to each other and the Parent Company. In January 2015, 136,296 Performance Units which were originally granted to certain executive officers in January 2012 and represent the maximum number of Performance Units that could have vested, were forfeited as a result of the Parent Company's total stockholder return relative to its peer group for the three years ending December 31, 2014 being below the threshold for any payout. In addition, of the 203,144 Performance Units which were originally granted to certain executive officers in January
2013 and represent the maximum number of Performance Units that could have vested, 13,215 Performance Units vested (resulting in the issuance of 13,215 shares of the Parent Company’s common stock, of which 5,504 shares were surrendered to the Company and subsequently retired in lieu of cash payments for taxes due on such vesting) and the remaining 189,929 Performance Units were forfeited, based on the Parent Company’s total stockholder return relative to its peer group for the two years ending December 31, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Parent Company awarded 401,480 Performance Units which represent the maximum number of Performance Units that may vest over a three-year Performance Period ending December 31, 2017. The grant date fair-value of these awards of approximately $5.8 million will be recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the three-year Performance Period. The total unearned compensation remaining on the Performance Units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to be expensed in future periods over a weighted-average term of 2.3 years was $3.6 million as of September 30, 2015. No dividends will be paid or accrued on the Performance Units, and shares of the Parent Company's common stock will not be issued until vesting of the Performance Units occurs.
Common Stock, Operating Partnership Units and LTIP Units
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding 203,527,787 shares of the Parent Company’s common stock and 5,083,400 and 314,824 operating partnership and LTIP units, respectively (excluding operating partnership units held by the Parent Company). A share of the Parent Company’s common stock and the operating partnership and LTIP units have essentially the same economic characteristics as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of the Operating Partnership.

Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests on the consolidated balance sheets of the Parent Company relate primarily to the OP units in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Parent Company. With respect to the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the issuer are further evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Because the OP units comprising the noncontrolling interests contain such a provision, the Company evaluated this guidance, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that the OP units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.
The Company evaluates individual redeemable noncontrolling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any redeemable noncontrolling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (1) the carrying amount, or (2) its redemption value at the end of the period in which the determination is made.
The redemption value of the OP units not owned by the Parent Company, had such units been redeemed at September 30, 2015, was approximately $108.8 million based on the average closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock of $20.16 per share for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding September 30, 2015.
The following table shows the vested ownership interests in the Operating Partnership:

4. Capital of the Operating Partnership
Operating Partnership Units and LTIP Units
As of September 30, 2015, the Operating Partnership had outstanding 208,611,187 operating partnership units and 314,824 LTIP units. The Parent Company owned 97.5% of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2015, is the Operating Partnership’s general partner and is responsible for the management of the Operating Partnership’s business. As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company effectively controls the ability to issue common stock of the Parent Company upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption. In addition, the Parent Company has generally acquired OP units upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption in exchange for shares of its common stock. The redemption provisions of OP units owned by limited partners that permit the Parent Company to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the Parent Company are further evaluated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. The Operating Partnership evaluated this guidance, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that these OP units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.
The redemption value of the OP units owned by the limited partners, not including the Parent Company, had such units been redeemed at September 30, 2015, was approximately $108.8 million based on the average closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock of $20.16 per share for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding September 30, 2015.

(1) | In January 2015, the entire remaining principal amount of the Operating Partnership's Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Exchangeable Senior Notes") was exchanged for 5,764,026 shares of the Parent Company's common stock, at the request of the holders. |
| |
(2) | In August 2012, the Operating Partnership converted approximately $156.4 million of outstanding borrowings into British pounds sterling (“GBP”) equal to £100.0 million, which was designated as a net investment hedge to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The principal balance represents the U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rates of $1.52 to £1.00 and $1.56 to £1.00 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The effective interest rate includes the impact of interest rate swap agreements (see Note 9 for further discussion of interest rate swap agreements). |
| |
(3) | At September 30, 2015, the Operating Partnership had additional borrowing capacity under the unsecured line of credit of up to approximately $437.0 million. |
Exchangeable Senior Notes
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, at the request of the holders that exercised their exchange right pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Senior Notes, the Parent Company issued 5,764,026 shares of its common stock in exchange for the remaining $95.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes.
Net Investment Hedge
The Operating Partnership designated the GBP denominated debt under the Term Loan due 2017 as a net investment hedge. The Operating Partnership entered into this net investment hedge to protect a designated amount of the Operating Partnership’s net investment in a GBP functional currency subsidiary against the risk of adverse changes in the GBP/U.S. dollar exchange rate (foreign exchange risk). Variability in the GBP/U.S. dollar exchange rate impacts the Operating Partnership (a U.S. dollar functional currency entity) as the financial statements of the GBP functional currency subsidiary are translated each period, with the effect of changes in the GBP/U.S. dollar exchange rate being recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. When the net investment is sold or substantially liquidated, the balance of the translation adjustment accumulated in other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings. The Operating Partnership is hedging the risk of changes in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of a portion of its net investment in its GBP subsidiary attributable to changes in the GBP/U.S. dollar exchange rate during the period of investment during which the hedging instrument is outstanding.
Maturities of Long-Term Debt
As of September 30, 2015, principal payments due for the Operating Partnership’s consolidated indebtedness (excluding debt premiums and discounts) were as follows (in thousands):

6. Earnings Per Share of the Parent Company
Through September 30, 2015 all of the Company’s participating securities (including the OP units) received dividends/distributions at an equal dividend/distribution rate per share/unit. As a result, the portion of net income allocable to the weighted-average unvested restricted stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 has been deducted from net income attributable to the Company to calculate basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 includes the outstanding OP units (both vested and unvested) in the weighted-average shares, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership has been added back to net income attributable to the Company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Performance Units were dilutive to the calculation of diluted earnings per share as calculated, assuming that September 30, 2015 and 2014 were the end dates of the respective Performance Units' Performance Periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the unvested restricted stock was anti-dilutive to the calculation of diluted earnings per share and was therefore excluded. As a result, diluted earnings per share was calculated based upon net income attributable to the Company less net income allocable to unvested restricted stock and distributions in excess of earnings attributable to unvested restricted stock. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, 393,631 shares issuable upon settlement of the exchange feature of the Exchangeable Senior Notes were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share based on the “if converted” method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, 7,589,600 and 9,571,008 shares issuable upon settlement of the exchange feature of the Exchangeable Senior Notes, respectively, were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share based on the “if converted” method. No other shares were considered anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.
Computations of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except share data) were as follows:

7. Earnings Per Unit of the Operating Partnership
Through September 30, 2015, all of the Operating Partnership’s participating securities received distributions at an equal distribution rate per unit. As a result, the portion of net income allocable to the weighted-average unvested OP units outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 has been deducted from net income attributable to the Operating Partnership to calculate basic earnings per unit attributable to common unit holders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the unvested OP units were anti-dilutive to the calculation of earnings per unit and were therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per unit, and diluted earnings per unit was calculated based upon net income attributable to unit holders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Performance Units were dilutive to the calculation of diluted earnings per unit as calculated, assuming that September 30, 2015 and 2014 were the end date of the respective Performance Units’ Performance Periods. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, 393,631 units issuable upon settlement of the exchange feature of the Exchangeable Senior Notes were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per unit based on the “if converted” method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, 7,589,600 and 9,571,008 units issuable upon settlement of the exchange feature of the Exchangeable Senior Notes, respectively, were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per unit based on the “if converted” method.

9. Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to the effect of changes in interest rates on the Operating Partnership’s U.S. dollar-LIBOR-based and GBP-LIBOR-based debt. The Company limits this risk by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements related to the Operating Partnership’s LIBOR-based debt. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The interest rate swaps hedge the Company’s exposure to the variability on expected cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates. These interest rate swaps are currently intended to hedge interest payments associated with the Operating Partnership’s Term Loan due 2017 and Term Loan due 2018.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had deferred interest costs of approximately $23.7 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to forward starting swaps, which were settled with the corresponding counterparties in 2009. The forward starting swaps were entered into to mitigate the Company’s exposure to the variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in future interest rates associated with a forecasted issuance of fixed-rate debt, with interest payments for a minimum of ten years. The deferred interest costs will be amortized as additional interest expense over a remaining period of approximately four years.
The following is a summary of the terms of the interest rate swaps and their respective fair-values (dollars in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | Fair-Value(1) |

(1) | Fair-value of derivative instruments does not include any related accrued interest payable, which is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy. Assets are included in other assets and liabilities are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |
| |
(2) | Translation to U.S. dollars is based on exchange rates of $1.52 to £1.00 and $1.56 to £1.00 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. |
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair-value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair-value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. No portion of the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were classified as ineffective during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.
The following is a summary of the amount of gain / (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income related to the derivative instruments (in thousands):

10. Fair-Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s disclosures of estimated fair-value of financial instruments at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair-value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair-value amounts.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair-value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company utilizes quoted market prices to estimate the fair-value of its fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company calculates the fair-value of its mortgage notes payable and other fixed-rate debt based on a currently available market rate assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral. In determining the current market rate for fixed-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar terms to debt. In determining the current market rate for variable-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the current effective interest rate. The carrying values of interest rate swaps are reflected at their fair-values.
At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate fair-value and the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

12. Subsequent Events
Merger Agreement
On October 7, 2015, the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with BRE Edison Holdings L.P. (“Parent”), BRE Edison L.P. (“Merger Sub I”) and BRE Edison Acquisition L.P. (“Merger Sub II”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub II will merge with and into the Operating Partnership (the “Partnership Merger”), and the separate existence of Merger Sub II will cease and the Operating Partnership will be the surviving partnership in the Partnership Merger. Immediately following the effective time of the Partnership Merger (the “Partnership Merger Effective Time”), the Parent Company will merge with and into Merger Sub I (the “Company Merger” and, together with the Partnership Merger, the “Mergers”), and the separate existence of the Parent Company will cease and Merger Sub I will continue as the surviving company in the Company Merger. The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have been unanimously approved by our board of directors. Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II are affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII L.P., an affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time”), each share of common stock of the Parent Company, other than shares held by any of the Parent Company’s subsidiaries or Parent, Merger Sub I or any of their respective subsidiaries, if any, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time will automatically be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $23.75 (plus, if the Mergers are consummated after January 1, 2016, a per diem amount of approximately $0.003 for each day from and after such date until (but not including) the closing date) (the “Per Company Share Merger Consideration”), without interest.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement, at the Partnership Merger Effective Time, each OP unit in the Operating Partnership, other than OP units held by the Parent Company or any of the Parent Company’s subsidiaries or Parent, Merger Sub II or any of their respective subsidiaries, if any, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time will automatically be converted into, and will be canceled in exchange for, the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Per Company Share Merger Consideration, without interest, provided that, in lieu of receiving the Per Company Share Merger Consideration, each qualifying holder of partnership units may elect to receive one newly created 5.5% Series B Cumulative Preferred Unit in the surviving partnership per OP unit for all or a portion of such holder’s OP units.
In addition, immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock award of the Parent Company will automatically become fully vested and non-forfeitable, and all shares of common stock of the Parent Company represented thereby will be considered outstanding and subject to the right to receive the Per Company Share Merger Consideration (less any applicable income and employment taxes). In addition, immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, each outstanding Performance Unit will automatically become earned and vested with respect to the number of shares of common stock
subject to such Performance Unit based on the achievement of the applicable performance goals set forth in the award agreement governing such Performance Unit as of such date. Such earned and vested Performance Units will be canceled and, in exchange therefor, Parent will cause the surviving entity in the Company Merger to pay to each former holder an amount in cash, without interest, and less any applicable income and employment withholding taxes, equal to the Per Company Share Merger Consideration for each such Performance Unit. Each Performance Unit that does not become earned and vested based on achievement of the applicable performance goals will terminate without consideration immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time.
In connection with the transaction, the parties intend that the Operating Partnership will, at the request of Parent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to commence offers to purchase and related consent solicitations for one or more series of the Notes due 2016, Notes due 2019, Notes due 2020 and/or Notes due 2022 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) and/or reasonably cooperate in effecting the giving of notices of optional redemption and the satisfaction and discharge or covenant defeasance of the Senior Notes on the closing date, in each case conditioned upon, among other things, the consummation of the Mergers. Details with respect to any such offers to purchase and related consent solicitations or redemptions will be set forth in the documents relating to any such transactions. The disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of consents or a notice of redemption, nor the solicitation of an offer to sell securities or to deliver consents.
The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants by the Parent Company to conduct its business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, subject to certain exceptions, during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Mergers. The obligations of the parties to consummate the Mergers are not subject to any financing condition or the receipt of any financing by Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II.
The consummation of the Mergers is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, approval of the Company Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Parent Company (the “Company Requisite Vote”) as of the record date for the special meeting of stockholders.
The Merger Agreement requires the Parent Company to convene a stockholders’ meeting for purposes of obtaining the Company Requisite Vote and to prepare and file a proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to such meeting as promptly as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, which proxy statement will contain, subject to certain exceptions, our board of directors’ recommendation that the Parent Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the Company Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The Parent Company has agreed not to solicit or enter into an agreement regarding a Company Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and, subject to certain exceptions, is not permitted to enter into discussions or negotiations concerning, or provide non-public information to a third party in connection with, any Company Acquisition Proposal. However, the Parent Company may, prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Vote, engage in discussions or negotiations and provide non-public information to a third party which has made an unsolicited written bona fide Company Acquisition Proposal if our board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
Prior to the approval of the Company Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the Parent Company’s stockholders, our board of directors may, in certain circumstances, effect an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to complying with specified notice and other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances by the Parent Company, including prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Vote, if, after following certain procedures and adhering to certain restrictions, our board of directors has effected an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with a Superior Proposal and the Parent Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for the implementation of a Superior Proposal. In addition, Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances and subject to certain restrictions, including if our board of directors effects, or has resolved to effect, an Adverse Recommendation Change. Upon a termination of the Merger Agreement, under certain circumstances, the Parent Company will be required to pay a termination fee to Parent of $160.0 million. In certain other circumstances, Parent will be required to pay the Parent Company a termination fee of $460.0 million upon termination of the Merger Agreement. Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII L.P. (the “Sponsor”), an affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P., has guaranteed certain payment obligations of Parent under the Merger Agreement up to $460.0 million.
Following the announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement, three purported class actions related to the proposed Mergers, Noon v. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., et al., No. 24-C-15-005174, Lipovich v. Gold, et al., No. 24-C-15-005174 and Schwartz
v. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., et al., No. 24-C-15-005477, were filed in the Circuit Court of Maryland for Baltimore City, against the Company, Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Sponsor, and the members of the Company's board of directors, alleging, among other things, that the directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Merger Agreement. Refer to Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” for further details. The Company is unable to predict the developments in, outcome of, and/or economic or other consequences of this litigation or predict the developments in, outcome of, and/or other consequences arising out of any potential future litigation or government inquiries related to the Mergers.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and any of our subsidiaries, including BioMed Realty, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership of which BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. is the parent company and general partner, which may be referred to herein as the “operating partnership.”
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. We make statements in this report that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise, and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: the ability of the Company to obtain required stockholder or regulatory approvals required to consummate the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions to closing in the definitive agreement for the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; the response of business partners and competitors to the announcement of the Mergers; potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the Mergers; legal proceedings that have been, or may be instituted against the Company and others related to the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; adverse economic or real estate developments in the life science industry or in our target markets, including the inability of our tenants to obtain funding to run their businesses; our dependence upon significant tenants; our failure to obtain necessary outside financing on favorable terms or at all, including the continued availability of our unsecured line of credit; general economic conditions, including downturns in the foreign, domestic and local economies; changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; volatility in financial and securities markets; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants; our inability to compete effectively; increased operating costs; our inability to successfully complete real estate acquisitions, developments and dispositions; risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction; risks associated with tax credits, grants and other subsidies to fund development activities; our failure to effectively manage our growth and expansion into new markets or to successfully operate acquired properties and companies; our ownership of properties outside of the United States that subject us to different and potentially greater risks than those associated with our domestic operations; risks associated with our investments in loans, including borrower defaults and potential principal losses; reductions in asset valuations and related impairment charges; the loss of services of one or more of our executive officers; our failure to qualify or continue to qualify as a REIT; our failure to maintain our investment grade corporate credit ratings or a downgrade in our investment grade corporate credit ratings from one or more of the rating agencies; government approvals, actions and initiatives, including the need for compliance with environmental requirements; the effects of earthquakes and other natural disasters; lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance; risks associated with security breaches and other disruptions to our information technology networks and related systems; and changes in real estate, zoning and other laws and increases in real property tax rates. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or developments, future events or otherwise.
The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in other sections of this report. We discussed a number of material risks in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. A discussion of additional risks related to our business can be found below under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
Pending Mergers
See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein for a discussion of the pending merger transaction to which the Company and the operating partnership are parties. The Mergers are expected to close during the first quarter of 2016, although closing is subject to various conditions, including the approval of the Company Merger by our common stockholders, and therefore, we cannot provide any assurance that the Mergers will close in a timely manner or at all.
Our ability to execute on our business plan could be adversely impacted by operating restrictions included in the Merger Agreement, including restrictions on acquiring new assets and raising additional capital. We have incurred and will incur a variety of merger-related costs which while not recurring in nature will not be recoverable if the Mergers are not consummated.
Overview
We operate as a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT focused on acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing laboratory and office space for the life science industry. Our tenants primarily include biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, scientific research institutions, government agencies and other entities involved in the life science industry. Our properties are generally located in markets with well-established reputations as centers for scientific research, including Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, Maryland, New York / New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Seattle, Cambridge (United Kingdom) and research parks located near or adjacent to universities and their related medical systems.
At September 30, 2015, we owned or had interests in a portfolio of properties with an aggregate of approximately 18.9 million rentable square feet.
The following reflects the classification of our properties between operating properties, active new construction (properties that are currently under development through ground up construction), active redevelopment (properties that we are currently preparing for their intended use, and accordingly are capitalizing interest and other costs as of the end of the quarter), unconsolidated partnership portfolio (properties which we partially own, but are not included in our consolidated financial statements) and land bank (representing properties engaged in activities related to planning, entitlement or other preparations for future development, and management’s estimates of rentable square footage if development of these properties was undertaken) at September 30, 2015:

Factors Which May Influence Future Operations
Our long-term corporate strategy is to continue to focus on acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing laboratory and office space for the life science industry. As of September 30, 2015, our total operating portfolio was 93.4% leased to 385 tenants. As of December 31, 2014, our total operating portfolio was 89.2% leased to 327 tenants.
Our leasing strategy for 2015 focuses on leasing vacant space, negotiating renewals for leases scheduled to expire during the year, and identifying new tenants or existing tenants seeking additional space to occupy the spaces for which we are unable to negotiate such renewals. We may proceed with additional new developments and acquisitions, as real estate and capital market conditions permit. As of September 30, 2015, leases representing 1.6% and 4.1% of our leased square feet were scheduled to expire during 2015 and 2016, respectively. The success of our leasing and development strategy depends on, among other things, general economic conditions, real estate market conditions and life science industry trends in our target markets in the United States and the United Kingdom.
As a result of changing market conditions and the recent economic recession, we believe that the fair-values of some of our properties may have declined below their respective carrying values. However, to the extent that a property has a substantial remaining estimated useful life and management does not believe that the property will be disposed of prior to the end of its useful life, it would be unusual for undiscounted cash flows to be insufficient to recover the property’s carrying value. We presently have the ability and intent to continue to own and operate our existing portfolio of properties and estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the operation of the properties are expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying value of each property. Accordingly, we do not believe that the carrying value of any of our properties is impaired. If our ability and/or our intent with regard to the operation of our properties otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to fair-value and such loss could be material.
A discussion of additional factors which may influence future operations can be found below under Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Net Operating Income. Net operating income decreased $1.7 million to $112.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $114.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the impact of lease termination revenue for both periods and the operating results of the 65 West Watkins Mill Road property, which was sold in September 2015, and the 9911 Belward Campus Drive property, which was sold in December 2014, net operating income increased by $4.1 million. This net increase was primarily attributable to the following:
| |
• | The placement of properties that were previously under development into service contributed an increase of $4.9 million in net operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014; |
| |
• | The acquisition of two operating properties totaling approximately 169,000 square feet in 2015 contributed an additional $1.6 million in net operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014; |
| |
• | The increase was partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in same property and previous same property net operating income primarily due to the early terminations of two tenants occupying a total of 493,366 square feet at four properties located in Cambridge, Massachusetts during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and the placement of properties that were previously included in the same property portfolio into the land bank during the three months ended June 30, 2015. |
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $501,000 to $65.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $64.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the placement of four properties totaling 913,349 square feet into service and the acquisition of two operating properties totaling 169,000 square feet with an acquisition date fair-value of $100.1 million during 2015, partially offset by the sale of our 65 West Watkins Mill Road property in September 2015 and 9911 Belward Campus Drive property in December 2014.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $398,000 to $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $12.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to professional fees incurred in connection with the proposed Mergers with affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII L.P., and higher staffing levels and compensation associated with our above-plan leasing and financial performance, partially offset by higher capitalized payroll related to increased development in 2015.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest cost incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $27.9 million compared to $28.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Total interest cost incurred decreased primarily as a result of the exchange of the $180 million in aggregate principal amount of the operating partnership's Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2030, or the Exchangeable Senior Notes, for shares of common stock during 2014 and January 2015. Interest expense, net decreased $1.0 million to $21.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $22.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due to lower interest costs incurred and higher capitalized interest related to increased development in 2015.

Other Income, net. Other income of $18.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was due to a $19.5 million gain from the sale of our investments in certain publicly-traded companies, partially offset by an income tax expense of $685,000. Other income of $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to a $2.3 million increase in the value of our investment in a privately-held company which completed a capital transaction during the quarter, and $681,000 in dividend income relating to investment securities, partially offset by an income tax expense of $538,000.

Net Operating Income. Net operating income decreased $13.5 million to $334.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $347.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the impact of lease termination revenue for both periods, the interest income and prepayment fee related to our Construction Loan and the operating results of the 65 West Watkins Mill Road property, which was sold in September 2015 and 9911 Belward Campus Drive property, which was sold in December 2014, net operating income increased by $9.2 million. This net increase was primarily due to the following:
| |
• | The acquisition of operating properties totaling 518,940 square feet in 2014 and operating properties totaling 169,000 square feet in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 contributed an additional $6.4 million in net operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014; |
| |
• | The placement of properties that were under development into service contributed an increase of $10.1 million in net operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014; |
| |
• | The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $7.3 million in same property and previous same property net operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to: |
| |
◦ | The early terminations of two tenants occupying a total of 493,366 square feet at four of our properties located in Cambridge, Massachusetts during the nine months ended September 30, 2015; and |
| |
◦ | The placement of properties that were previously included in the same property portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 into the land bank during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. |
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.7 million to $193.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $189.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of operating properties totaling 518,940 square feet with an acquisition date fair-value of $117.0 million in 2014, the acquisition of two operating properties totaling 169,000 square feet with an acquisition date fair-value of $100.1 million in 2015 and the placement of four properties totaling 913,349 square feet into service in 2015, partially offset by the sale of our 65 West Watkins Mill Road property in September 2015 and 9911 Belward Campus Drive property in December 2014.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million to $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $37.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to professional fees incurred in connection with the proposed Mergers with affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII L.P., and higher staffing levels and compensation associated with our above-plan leasing and financial performance, partially offset by higher capitalized payroll related to increased development in 2015 and lower executive compensation due to cessation of employment of one of our executive officers in February 2015.
Executive Severance. Executive severance expense of $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the cessation of employment of one of our executive officers in February 2015.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest cost incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $83.6 million compared to $89.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Total interest cost incurred decreased primarily as a result of the early repayment of the mortgage note secured by our Center for Life Science | Boston property in April 2014 and the exchange of the $180 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes for shares of common stock during 2014 and January 2015, partially offset by the issuance of our Notes due 2019 and the assumption of mortgages in our acquisitions of the 300 George Street and 100 College Street properties in April 2014. Interest expense, net decreased $11.5 million to $61.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $73.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to lower interest costs incurred and higher capitalized interest related to increased development in 2015.

Gain on sale of real estate. Gain on sale of real estate of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the sale of the 65 West Watkins Mill Road property for $7.9 million in gross proceeds in September 2015.
Impairment of real estate. Impairment of real estate of $35.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily related to our King of Prussia property which was sold in May 2015. The property had been placed under active redevelopment to be held for long-term operations. However, in May 2015, our strategy changed from actively redeveloping to selling with respect to this property as a result of market conditions, which dictated an earlier sale. In connection with the change in strategy in May
2015, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $32.3 million once the sale of the property became probable and the property was written down to its estimated fair value, less cost to sell. No gain or loss was recorded upon completion of the sale in May 2015. Additionally, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $2.8 million relating to another property that is no longer being developed, which reduced its carrying value to its estimated fair value, less costs to sell.
Other Income, net. Other income of $95.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to a $88.4 million gain from the sale of our investments in certain publicly-traded companies and an $11.4 million gain related to the collection of a note receivable that was previously fully reserved, partially offset by a $2.7 million other-than-temporary impairment primarily related to our cost method investments in a privately-held company and a $1.0 million income tax expense. Other income of $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to $12.8 million of gains and dividend income relating to investment securities, partially offset by a $1.3 million other-than-temporary impairment relating to our cost method investment in a privately-held company.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $17.3 million to $206.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $223.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease primarily resulted from the sale of the 9911 Belward Campus Drive property in December 2014, the early termination of Vertex Pharmaceuticals' leases at three of our properties in Cambridge, Massachusetts in February 2015 and the timing of cash rent commencements on new leases.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $132.9 million to $403.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $270.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase primarily resulted from higher acquisition activities and capital expenditures relating to our development projects during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net of tax credit contributions received. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in draws on our notes receivable and Construction Loan, which was repaid in May 2014, cash proceeds from the sales of our King of Prussia and 65 West Watkins Mill Road properties in May 2015 and September 2015, respectively, and proceeds from sales of marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $199.4 million compared to $46.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net cash provided by financing activities of $199.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily resulted from a net draw on our line of credit, partially offset by dividends paid to common stockholders and distributions to noncontrolling interests. Net cash provided by financing activities of $46.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily resulted from proceeds from the issuance of our Notes due 2019 and a net draw on our line of credit, partially offset by the early repayment of the mortgage note secured by our Center for Life Science | Boston property and payment of dividends to common stockholders and distributions to noncontrolling interests.
Funds from Operations
We present funds from operations, or FFO, and FFO excluding acquisition-related expenses, or CFFO, attributable to common shares and OP units because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our operating performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO and CFFO when reporting their results. FFO and CFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and CFFO exclude depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, and, in the case of CFFO, acquisition-related expenses, they provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the impact
to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, impairment charges on depreciable real estate, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our computations may differ from the methodologies for calculating FFO and CFFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO and CFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO and CFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income / (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.” section, the term the “Company” refers only to BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, and excludes the operating partnership and all other subsidiaries. For further discussion
of the liquidity and capital resources of the Company on a consolidated basis, see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty, L.P.” below.
As discussed in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein, the Merger Agreement contains provisions which restrict or prohibit certain capital expenditures as well as certain capital transactions typically used to fund the Company’s and the operating partnership’s short and long-term liquidity requirements. Until the Mergers close, or the Merger Agreement is terminated, the Company’s and the operating partnership’s liquidity requirements will primarily be funded with net cash provided by operating activities and certain other capital activities allowed under the Merger Agreement. In particular, the Company and the operating partnership are subject to various restrictions under the Merger Agreement on raising additional capital, issuing additional equity or debt, repurchasing equity or debt, and entering into certain acquisition, disposition and leasing transactions, among other restrictions.
The Company’s business is operated primarily through the operating partnership. The Company issues public equity from time to time, but does not otherwise generate any capital itself or conduct any business itself, other than incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company which are fully reimbursed by the operating partnership. The Company itself does not hold any indebtedness, and its only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the operating partnership. The Company’s principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common stock. The Company’s principal source of funding for its dividend payments is distributions it receives from the operating partnership.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company owned an approximate 97.5% partnership interest and other limited partners, including some of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining 2.5% partnership interest (including LTIP units) in the operating partnership. As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
The liquidity of the Company is dependent on the operating partnership’s ability to make sufficient distributions to the Company. The primary cash requirement of the Company is its payment of dividends to its stockholders; under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company was permitted to pay one additional common stock dividend of $0.26 per share on October 15, 2015, but will not be permitted to pay common stock dividends for any quarter thereafter, subject to certain exceptions. The Company also guarantees some of the operating partnership’s debt, as discussed further in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. If the operating partnership fails to fulfill certain of its debt requirements, which trigger the Company’s guarantee obligations, then the Company will be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees. However, the Company’s only significant asset is its investment in the operating partnership.
We believe the operating partnership’s sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and borrowings available under its unsecured line of credit, are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to the Company and, in turn, for the Company to make its dividend payments to its stockholders (subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement described above). However, we cannot assure you that the operating partnership’s sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including its ability to make distribution payments to the Company. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect the operating partnership’s ability to pay its distributions to the Company, which would in turn, adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for future dividends expected to be paid to the Company’s stockholders, operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, general and administrative expenses, construction projects, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
The Company may, subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement, from time to time seek to repurchase or redeem the operating partnership’s outstanding debt, the Company’s shares of common stock or other securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or redemptions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
For the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, it must pay dividends to its stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. While historically the Company has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its stockholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property, including, in limited circumstances, the Company’s own stock. As a result of this distribution requirement, the operating partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its ongoing operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. The Company may need to continue to raise capital in the equity markets to fund the operating partnership’s working capital needs, acquisitions and developments, subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement.
The Company is a well-known seasoned issuer with an effective shelf registration statement that allows the Company to register an unspecified amount of various classes of equity securities and the operating partnership to register an unspecified amount of various classes of debt securities. As circumstances warrant, the Company may, subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement, issue equity from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. When the Company receives proceeds from preferred or common equity issuances, it is required by the operating partnership’s partnership agreement to contribute the proceeds from its equity issuances to the operating partnership in exchange for preferred or common partnership units of the operating partnership. The operating partnership may use the proceeds to repay debt, to develop new or existing properties, to acquire properties or for general corporate purposes.
See the discussion above and in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein regarding restrictions under the Merger Agreement to which the Company is subject.
Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty, L.P.
In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty, L.P.” section, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to the operating partnership together with its consolidated subsidiaries or the operating partnership and BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. together with their consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., or our Parent Company, is our sole general partner and consolidates our results of operations for financial reporting purposes. Because we operate on a consolidated basis with our Parent Company, the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.” should be read in conjunction with this section to understand our liquidity and capital resources on a consolidated basis.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for future dividends expected to be paid to our Parent Company’s stockholders, operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, general and administrative expenses, construction projects, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
The remaining principal payments due for our consolidated and our proportionate share of unconsolidated indebtedness (excluding debt premiums and discounts) as of September 30, 2015 were as follows (in thousands):

(1) | The principal balance represents the U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rate of $1.52 to £1.00 at September 30, 2015. |
| |
(2) | In July 2015, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PREI I LLC refinanced its secured loan facility with previously outstanding borrowings of $139.0 million into a new secured loan with a principal amount of $160.0 million, an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 140 basis points, and a maturity date of August 1, 2020 (with two options to extend the maturity date for one year each at its discretion after satisfying certain conditions and paying an extension fee). |
Certain of our mortgage loans include financial covenants which require us to maintain minimum levels of debt service coverage and a minimum amount of net worth. Management believes that we were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2015.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, at the request of the holders that exercised their exchange right pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Senior Notes, our Parent Company issued 5,764,026 shares of its common stock in exchange for the remaining $95.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we received $90.4 million in proceeds from sales of investments in publicly-traded companies, resulting in a realized gain on sale of $68.6 million, net of allocation to a noncontrolling interest.
In May 2015, we sold our King of Prussia property for $35.0 million, excluding closing costs, and incurred a non-cash impairment charge of $32.3 million in the second quarter of 2015 as a result of the sale.
On June 30, 2015, we repaid in full the mortgage loan of $21.0 million, secured by our 4320 Forest Park Avenue property at its scheduled maturity date, which bore interest at a fixed rate of 4.0% per annum.
The credit facilities governing our unsecured line of credit, Term Loan due 2017 and Term Loan due 2018 include certain restrictions and covenants relating to, among other things, overall leverage and unsecured leverage ratios, fixed charge coverage,
unsecured debt service coverage, maximum amount of secured indebtedness and certain investment limitations. Management believes that we were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2015.
The terms of the indentures governing the Notes due 2016, the Notes due 2019, the Notes due 2020 and the Notes due 2022 require compliance with various financial covenants, including limits on the amount of total leverage and secured debt maintained by us and which require us to maintain minimum levels of debt service coverage. Management believes that we were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2015.
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for scheduled debt maturities, construction obligations, renovations, expansions, capital commitments and other non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically, and the costs associated with acquisitions of properties that we pursue. At September 30, 2015, we had entered into construction contracts and lease agreements, with a remaining commitment totaling approximately $806.3 million related to tenant improvements, leasing commissions and construction-related capital expenditures.
We expect to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing working capital and cash provided by our operations, the issuance of long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities and the use of net proceeds from the disposition of non-strategic assets (subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement, discussed above and in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein). Our rental revenues, provided by our leases, generally provide cash inflows to meet our debt service obligations, pay general and administrative expenses, and fund regular distributions. We expect to satisfy our long-term liquidity requirements through our existing working capital, cash provided by operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities (subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement). We also expect to use funds available under our unsecured line of credit to finance acquisition and development activities and capital expenditures on an interim basis (subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement). We also expect to utilize tax credits, grants and other subsidies from time to time to fund development activities. In addition, we have an investment grade credit rating, which we believe will provide us with continued access to the unsecured debt markets, providing us with an additional source of long term financing (subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement).
BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s total capitalization at September 30, 2015 was approximately $7.2 billion and was comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

(2) | In August 2012, the operating partnership converted approximately $156.4 million of outstanding borrowings of the Term Loan due 2017 into British pounds sterling (“GBP”) equal to £100.0 million, which was designated as a net investment hedge to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. $151.5 million of the principal balance represents the U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rate of $1.52 to £1.00 at September 30, 2015. |
| |
(3) | Aggregate amount based on the market closing price of the common stock of our Parent Company of $19.98 per share on the last trading day of the quarter. Limited partners who have been issued OP units have the right to require the operating partnership to redeem part or all of their OP units, which right with respect to LTIP units is subject to vesting and the satisfaction of other conditions. We may elect to redeem those OP units in exchange for shares of our Parent Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. At September 30, 2015, 203,527,787 of the outstanding OP units had been issued to our |
Parent Company upon receipt of the net proceeds from the issuance of an equal number of shares of our Parent Company’s common stock.
Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur, and we may modify our financing strategy from time to time in light of current economic or market conditions including, but not limited to, the relative costs of debt and equity capital, market conditions for debt and equity securities and fluctuations in the market price of our Parent Company’s common stock (subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement). In addition, the terms of the indentures governing our Notes due 2016, Notes due 2019, Notes due 2020 and Notes due 2022, and the credit facilities governing our unsecured line of credit, Term Loan due 2017 and Term Loan due 2018 require compliance with various financial covenants and ratios, which are discussed in detail above and in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.
We may from time to time seek to repurchase or redeem our outstanding debt or OP units (including in connection with the repurchase or redemption of an equivalent number of shares of common stock by our Parent Company) or other securities, and our Parent Company may seek to repurchase or redeem its outstanding shares of common stock or other securities, in each case in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise (subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement). Such repurchases or redemptions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2015, we had investments in the following unconsolidated partnerships: (1) BioPark Fremont, LLC, which owns a land parcel located in Baltimore; (2) McKellar Court limited partnership, which owns a single tenant occupied property located in San Diego; and (3) two limited liability companies with PREI, which own a portfolio of properties located in Cambridge, Massachusetts (see Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein for more information).
BioPark Fremont, LLC is a VIE; however, we are not the primary beneficiary. We will receive 50% of the operating cash flows and 50% of the gains upon sale of the property. We account for our membership interest using the equity method. The assets of BioPark Fremont, LLC were $3.3 million and $3.1 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The liabilities of BioPark Fremont, LLC were $2.9 million at each of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Our equity in net loss of BioPark Fremont, LLC was $147,000 and $39,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The McKellar Court partnership is a VIE; however, we are not the primary beneficiary. The limited partner at McKellar Court is the only tenant in the property and will bear a disproportionate amount of any losses. We, as the general partner, will receive 22% of the operating cash flows and 75% of the gains upon sale of the property. We account for our general partner interest using the equity method. The assets of the McKellar Court partnership were $13.0 million and $13.4 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The liabilities were $10.8 million and $10.7 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Our equity in net income of the McKellar Court partnership was $724,000 and $686,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In December 2009, we provided funding in the form of a promissory note to the McKellar Court partnership in the amount of $10.3 million, which matures at the earlier of (1) January 1, 2020, or (2) the day that the limited partner exercises an option to purchase our ownership interest. Interest-only payments on the promissory note are due monthly at a fixed rate of 8.15%, with the principal balance outstanding due at maturity.
PREI II LLC is a VIE; however, we are not the primary beneficiary. PREI will bear the majority of any losses incurred. PREI I LLC does not qualify as a VIE. In addition, consolidation is not required as we do not control the limited liability companies. In connection with the formation of the PREI joint ventures in April 2007, we contributed 20% of the initial capital. However, the amount of cash flow distributions that we receive may be more or less based on the nature of the circumstances underlying the cash distributions due to provisions in the operating agreements governing the distribution of funds to each member and the occurrence of extraordinary cash flow events. We account for our member interests using the equity method for both limited liability companies. The assets of the PREI joint ventures were $267.7 million and $268.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and the liabilities were $178.7 million and $147.5 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Our equity in net loss of the PREI joint ventures was $43,000 and $62,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
We are the primary beneficiary in VIEs at the following properties in which a tenant has a purchase option, which are consolidated and reflected in our consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

Cash Distribution Policy
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. It is our intention to comply with these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. corporate federal, state or local income taxes on taxable income we distribute currently (in accordance with the Code and applicable regulations) to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to certain foreign, state and local taxes on our income and to federal
income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, i.e., taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the Code and applicable regulations thereunder.
While we most recently paid a dividend on shares of common stock at an annual dividend rate of $1.04 per share, the actual dividend payable in the future will be determined by our board of directors based upon the circumstances at the time of declaration and, as a result, the actual dividend payable in the future may vary from the current rate. The decision to declare and pay dividends on shares of our common stock in the future, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors in light of conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, debt maturities, the availability of debt and equity capital, applicable REIT and legal restrictions and general overall economic conditions and other factors (including being subject to the restrictions under the Merger Agreement).
The following table provides historical dividend information for our common stock for the prior two fiscal years and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, excluding a special dividend of $0.30 per share declared and paid during the fourth quarter 2014, reflecting a return to stockholders of a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our 9911 Belward Campus Drive property:

Inflation
Some of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, most of our leases require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation, assuming our properties remain leased and tenants fulfill their obligations to reimburse us for such expenses.
Our unsecured line of credit, portions of our Term Loan due 2017 and Term Loan due 2018, the outstanding balance of a mortgage secured by a property in Connecticut and our proportionate share of the outstanding balance of the PREI joint ventures’ secured construction loan bear interest at variable rates, which will be influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, and will be sensitive to inflation.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our future income, cash flows and fair-values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk, equity price risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
As of September 30, 2015, our consolidated debt consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Effective Interest |
| | | Percent of | | Rate at |
| Principal Balance (1) | | Total Debt | | September 30, 2015 |
Fixed interest rate (2) | $ | 1,678,819 |
| | 56.1 | % | | 4.33 | % |
Variable interest rate - hedged (3) | 551,530 |
| | 18.4 | % | | 2.21 | % |
Variable interest rate - unhedged (4) | 764,820 |
| | 25.5 | % | | 1.50 | % |
Total/weighted-average effective interest rate | $ | 2,995,169 |
| | 100.0 | % | | 3.22 | % |
| |
(1) | Principal balance includes only consolidated indebtedness. |
| |
(2) | Includes ten mortgage notes payable secured by certain of our properties (including unamortized premiums), our Notes due 2016 (including unamortized debt discount), our Notes due 2019 (including unamortized debt discount), our Notes due 2020 (including unamortized debt discount) and our Notes due 2022 (including unamortized debt discount). |
| |
(3) | Includes the hedged portions of our Term Loan due 2017 and Term Loan due 2018, which bear interest at LIBOR-indexed variable interest rates, plus a credit spread. On August 2, 2012, we converted approximately $156.4 million of outstanding borrowings of the Term Loan due 2017 into GBP equal to £100.0 million. The principal balance represents the U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rate of $1.52 to £1.00 at September 30, 2015. The stated effective rate for the variable interest hedged debt includes the impact of our interest rate swap agreements. We have entered into four U.S. dollar interest rate swaps, which are intended to have the effect of initially fixing the interest rate on $200.0 million of the outstanding amount under our Term Loan due 2017 at a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 2.10% for the remaining term of the Term Loan due 2017 (including applicable credit spreads for the underlying debt), subject to adjustment based on our credit ratings. We have entered into two GBP interest rate swaps, which are intended to have the effect of initially fixing the interest rate on £100.0 million of the outstanding amount under our Term Loan due 2017 at approximately 2.14% for the remaining term of the Term Loan due 2017 (including applicable credit spreads for the underlying debt), subject to adjustment based on our credit ratings. On September 25, 2013, we entered into three U.S. dollar interest rate swaps, which are intended to have the effect of initially fixing the interest rate on $200.0 million of the outstanding amount under our Term Loan due 2018 at a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 1.28% through October 1, 2016 (including applicable credit spreads for the underlying debt), subject to adjustment based on our credit ratings. |
| |
(4) | Includes one variable rate mortgage, the unhedged portions of our Term Loan due 2017 and Term Loan due 2018 and our unsecured line of credit, which bear interest at LIBOR-indexed variable interest rates, plus a credit spread. |
To determine the fair-value of our outstanding consolidated indebtedness, we utilize quoted market prices to estimate the fair-value, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, we calculate the fair-value of our mortgage notes payable and other fixed-rate debt based on an estimate of current lending rates, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the notes’ collateral. In determining the current market rate for fixed-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar terms to debt. In determining the current market rate for variable-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the current effective interest rate. At September 30, 2015, both the fair-value and carrying value of all fixed-rate debt was estimated to be $1.7 billion (including debt premiums and discounts). At September 30, 2015, both the fair-value and carrying value of all variable-rate debt was estimated to be $1.3 billion. We do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by our fixed-rate debt or the risk of changes in the credit spread related to our variable-rate debt was material as of September 30, 2015 in relation to total assets of $6.5 billion and equity market capitalization of $7.2 billion of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock and BioMed Realty, L.P.’s OP units.
Based on the unhedged outstanding balances of our unsecured line of credit, our Term Loan due 2017, our Term Loan due 2018 and our proportionate share of the outstanding balance of the PREI joint ventures’ secured construction loan at September 30, 2015, a 1.0% change in interest rates would change our interest costs by approximately $8.0 million per year. This amount was determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. This analysis does not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of the magnitude discussed above, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.
In order to modify and manage the interest rate characteristics of our outstanding debt and to limit the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The use of these types of instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, including counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. To limit counterparty credit risk we will seek to enter into such agreements with major financial institutions with high credit ratings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks and will ultimately realize an
economic benefit that exceeds the related amounts incurred in connection with engaging in such hedging activities. We do not enter into such contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
Equity Price Risk
We have exposure to equity price market risk because of our equity investments in certain publicly-traded companies and privately-held entities. We classify investments in publicly-traded companies as “available for sale” and, consequently, record them on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair-value, with unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Investments in privately-held entities are generally accounted for under the cost method because we do not influence any of the operating or financial policies of the entities in which we invest. For all investments, we recognize other-than-temporary declines in value against earnings in the same period during which the decline in value was deemed to have occurred. There is no assurance that future declines in value will not have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations. A 10% decrease in the fair-value of our equity investments as of September 30, 2015, would equal approximately $8.1 million.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our subsidiary operating in the United Kingdom. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiary is GBP. Gains or losses resulting from the translation of our foreign subsidiary’s balance sheet and statement of income are included in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses will be reflected in our statements of income when there is a sale of our investment in these operations or upon a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, total revenues from properties outside the United States were $4.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, which represented 2.6% and 3.8% of the Company's total revenues during the respective periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, total revenues from properties outside the United States were $13.1 million and $16.1 million, respectively, which represented 2.6% and 3.2% of our total revenues for the respective periods. Our net investment in properties outside the United States was $211.3 million and $200.2 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. On August 2, 2012, we converted a portion of the outstanding borrowings of our Term Loan due 2017 into GBP, which we designated as a net investment hedge to mitigate our risk to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, our unhedged net investment in properties outside the United States was $59.8 million as of September 30, 2015.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Although we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings nor is any legal proceeding threatened against us that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Following the announcement of the Merger Agreement, three purported class actions related to the proposed Mergers, Noon v. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., et al., No. 24-C-15-005174, Lipovich v. Gold, et al., No. 24-C-15-005173 and Schwartz v. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., et al., No. 24-C-15-005477, were filed in the Circuit Court of Maryland for Baltimore City, against us, Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Sponsor, and the members of our board of directors, alleging, among other things, that our directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Merger Agreement (including, but not limited to, various alleged breaches of duties of good faith, loyalty, due care and candor). The Lipovich complaint also names The Blackstone Group L.P. as a defendant. The lawsuits allege that our directors failed to take appropriate steps to maximize stockholder value, and claim that the Merger Agreement contains several deal protection provisions that are unnecessarily preclusive. The lawsuits further allege that we, Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Sponsor, and, in the case of the Lipovich complaint, The Blackstone Group L.P., aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties. The lawsuits seek a variety of equitable and injunctive relief, including enjoining defendants from completing the proposed Mergers, rescission of any consummated transaction, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and, in the case of the Noon complaint, unspecified damages. We believe the lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against them.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes detailed discussions of our risk factors under the heading "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors." Set forth below are certain changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K, which we are including in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q as a result of our entering into the Merger Agreement on October 7, 2015, as further described above. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K, as well as the other information in this report, which could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, growth prospects or the value of our securities.
Risks Related to the Mergers
There may be unexpected delays in the completion of the Mergers, or the Mergers may not be completed at all.
The Mergers are currently expected to close during the first quarter of 2016, assuming that all of the conditions in the Merger Agreement are satisfied or waived. The Merger Agreement provides that either we or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Mergers have not occurred by April 7, 2016. Certain events may delay the completion of the Mergers or result in a termination of the Merger Agreement. Some of these events are outside the control of either party. In particular, completion of the Company Merger requires the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding common stock as of the record date for the special meeting of stockholders. If the required vote is not obtained at a special meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) at which the Company Merger has been voted upon, either we or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement. We may incur significant additional costs in connection with any delay in completing the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement, in addition to significant transaction costs, including legal, financial advisory, accounting, and other costs we have already incurred. We can neither assure you that the conditions to the completion of the Mergers will be satisfied or waived or that any adverse change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or state of facts that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement will not occur, and we cannot provide any assurances as to whether or when the Mergers will be completed.
In addition, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we may not declare or pay any future dividends (other than the regular quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 which has already been declared on September 15, 2015 and paid on October 15, 2015 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2015) to the holders of our common stock during the term of the Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on when the Mergers are consummated, these restrictions may prevent holders of our common stock from receiving dividends that they might otherwise have received.
Failure to complete the Mergers in a timely manner or at all could negatively affect our stock price and future business and financial results.
There is no assurance that the Mergers will occur or that the conditions to the Mergers will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. Also, there is no assurance that an event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement will not occur. Delays in completing the Mergers or the failure to complete the Mergers at all could negatively affect our future business and financial results, and, in that event, the market price of our common stock may decline significantly, particularly to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Mergers will be completed. If the Mergers are not completed for any reason, we will not achieve the expected benefits thereof and will be subject to several risks, including the diversion of management focus and resources from operational matters and other strategic opportunities while working to implement the Mergers, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the value of our securities.
The pendency of the Mergers could adversely affect our business and operations.
In connection with the pending Mergers, some of our current or prospective tenants, lenders, joint venture partners or vendors may delay or defer decisions, which could negatively impact our revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the Mergers are completed. In addition, under the Merger Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to completing the Mergers. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing certain strategic transactions, undertaking certain capital projects, undertaking certain financing transactions and otherwise pursuing other actions that are not in the ordinary course of business, even if such actions could prove beneficial and may cause us to forego certain opportunities we might otherwise pursue absent the Merger Agreement. Additionally, the pendency of the Mergers may make it more difficult for us to effectively recruit, retain and incentivize key personnel and may cause distractions from our strategy and day-to-day operations for our current employees and management.
An adverse judgment in a lawsuit challenging the Mergers may prevent the Mergers from becoming effective or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.
We, Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Sponsor, and the members of our board of directors have been named as defendants in two purported class action lawsuits (with The Blackstone Group L.P. named as a defendant in one of these lawsuits) challenging the Mergers and seeking, among other things, to enjoin the completion of the Mergers. Our stockholders may file additional lawsuits challenging the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which may name us and/or our board of directors as defendants. We cannot assure you as to the outcome of such lawsuits, including the amount of costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of these claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Mergers on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the completion of the Mergers in the expected timeframe, or may prevent the Mergers from being completed altogether. Whether or not any plaintiff’s claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.
Counterparties to certain of our agreements may have consent rights in connection with the Mergers.
We are party to certain agreements that give the counterparties to such agreements certain rights, including consent rights, in connection with “change in control” transactions or otherwise. Under certain of these agreements, the Mergers may constitute a “change in control” or otherwise give rise to consent rights and, therefore, the counterparties may assert their rights in connection with the Mergers, including in the case of indebtedness, acceleration of amounts due. Any such counterparty may request modifications of its agreements as a condition to granting a waiver or consent under those agreements, and there can be no assurance that such counterparties will not exercise their rights under the agreements, including termination rights where available. In addition, the failure to obtain consent under one agreement may be a default under other agreements and, thereby, trigger rights of the counterparties to such other agreements, including termination rights where available.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.)
