EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013 of SL Green Realty Corp. and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "SL Green Realty Corp.," the "Company" or "SL Green" mean SL Green Realty Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to "SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.," the "Operating Partnership" or "SLGOP" mean SL Green Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms "we,' "our" and "us" mean the Company and all the entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership.
The Company is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust ("REIT") and is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. As a general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership.
The Company owns 97.06% of the outstanding general and limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company also owns 9,200,000 Series I Preferred units in the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2013, noncontrolling investors held, in aggregate, a 2.94% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. We refer to these interests as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.
The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one entity. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.
Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, stockholders' equity of the Company and partners' capital of the Operating Partnership are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company are accounted for as partners' capital in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and as noncontrolling interests, within mezzanine equity, in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
| |
• | Combined reports enhance investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business; |
| |
• | Combined reports eliminate duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and |
| |
• | Combined reports create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports. |
To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
| |
• | consolidated financial statements; |
| |
• | the following notes to the consolidated financial statements: |
| |
◦ | Note 11, Noncontrolling Interest on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements; |
| |
◦ | Note 12, Stockholders' Equity of the Company; |
| |
◦ | Note 13, Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership; |
| |
◦ | Note 15, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of the Company; and |
| |
◦ | Note 16, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of the Operating Partnership. |
This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively, in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in both their capacity as the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the general partner of the Operating Partnership, have made the requisite certifications and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SL Green Realty Corp. and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2013
(unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
SL Green Realty Corp., which is referred to as the Company or SL Green, a Maryland corporation, and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., which is referred to as SLGOP or the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, were formed in June 1997 for the purpose of combining the commercial real estate business of S.L. Green Properties, Inc. and its affiliated partnerships and entities. The Operating Partnership received a contribution of interest in the real estate properties, as well as 95% of the economic interest in the management, leasing and construction companies, which are referred to as the Service Corporation, a consolidated variable interest entity. All of the management, leasing and construction services with respect to the properties that are wholly-owned by us are conducted through SL Green Management LLC which is 100% owned by the Operating Partnership. The Company has qualified, and expects to qualify in the current fiscal year, as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and operates as a self-administered, self-managed REIT. A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate interests and, through payments of dividends to stockholders, is permitted to minimize the payment of Federal income taxes at the corporate level. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we,” “our” and “us” means the Company and all entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership.
Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2013, noncontrolling investors held, in the aggregate, a 2.94% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. We refer to these interests as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. See Note 11, “Noncontrolling Interests on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Reckson Associates Realty Corp., or Reckson, and Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., or ROP, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
As of September 30, 2013, we owned the following interests in commercial office properties in the New York Metropolitan area, primarily in midtown Manhattan, a borough of New York City. Our investments in the New York Metropolitan area also include investments in Brooklyn, Long Island, Westchester County, Connecticut and Northern New Jersey, which are collectively known as the Suburban assets:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Location | | Ownership | | Number of Properties | | Square Feet | | Weighted Average Occupancy(1) |
Manhattan | | Consolidated properties | | 26 |
| | 18,012,945 |
| | 93.8 | % |
| | Unconsolidated properties | | 9 |
| | 5,934,434 |
| | 96.2 | % |
| | | | | | | | |
Suburban | | Consolidated properties | | 26 | | 4,087,400 | | 79.1 | % |
| | Unconsolidated properties | | 4 | | 1,222,100 | | 85.3 | % |
| | | | 65 |
| | 29,256,879 |
| | 91.9 | % |
_________________________________
| |
(1) | The weighted average occupancy represents the total leased square feet divided by total available rentable square feet. |
As of September 30, 2013, we also owned investments in 16 retail properties encompassing approximately 621,300 square feet, 13 development properties encompassing approximately 2,424,600 square feet, three residential properties encompassing 468 units (approximately 497,100 square feet), two land interests encompassing approximately 961,400 square feet and 28 west coast office properties encompassing approximately 3,654,300 square feet. In addition, we manage two office properties owned by third parties and affiliated companies encompassing approximately 626,400 rentable square feet. As of September 30, 2013, we also held debt and preferred equity investments with a book value of $1.3 billion.
Partnership Agreement
In accordance with the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, or the Operating Partnership Agreement, we allocate all distributions and profits and losses in proportion to the percentage ownership interests of the respective partners. As the managing general partner of the Operating Partnership, we are required to take such reasonable efforts, as determined by us
SL Green Realty Corp. and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2013
(unaudited)
in our sole discretion, to cause the Operating Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the payment of sufficient dividends by us to minimize any Federal income or excise tax at the Company level. Under the Operating Partnership Agreement, each limited partner has the right to redeem units of limited partnership interests for cash, or if we so elect, for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.
Basis of Quarterly Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2013 and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The 2013 operating results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 of the Company and the Operating Partnership.
The balance sheets at December 31, 2012 have been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by us. Entities which we do not control through our voting interest and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method or as debt and preferred equity investments. See Note 5, “Debt and Preferred Equity Investments” and Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.” All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
We consolidate variable interest entities, or VIEs, in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Included in commercial real estate properties on our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are approximately $600.1 million and $607.4 million, respectively, related to our consolidated VIEs. Included in mortgages and other loans payable on our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are approximately $373.1 million and $379.6 million, respectively, related to our consolidated VIEs.
A noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary is defined as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Noncontrolling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheet and the presentation of net income was modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests.
We assess the accounting treatment for each joint venture and debt and preferred equity investment. This assessment includes a review of each joint venture or limited liability company agreement to determine which party has what rights and whether those rights are protective or participating. For all VIE’s, we review such agreements in order to determine which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. In situations where we and our partner approves, among other things, the annual budget, receives a detailed monthly reporting package from us, meets on a quarterly basis to review the results of the joint venture, reviews and approves the joint venture’s tax return before filing, and approves all leases that cover more than a nominal amount of space relative to the total rentable space at each property, we do not consolidate the joint venture as we consider these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared power of the activities that most significantly impact the performance of our joint venture. Our joint venture agreements typically contain

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2013
(unaudited)
certain protective rights such as the requirement of partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and the payment of capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan.
Investment in Commercial Real Estate Properties
On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indications that the value of our real estate properties may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. A property’s value is considered impaired if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges for consolidated properties) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the calculated fair value of the property. We also evaluate our real estate properties for potential impairment when a real estate property has been classified as held for sale. Real estate assets held for sale are valued at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. In June 2013, we recorded a $2.2 million impairment charge in connection with the sale of 300 Main Street in Stamford, Connecticut.
We assess our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for recoverability, and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other than temporary, we write down the investment to its fair value. We evaluate our equity investments for impairment based on the joint venture’s projected discounted cash flows. We do not believe that the values of any of our consolidated properties or equity investments were impaired at either September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
When we acquire equity interests in an existing unconsolidated joint venture and gain control over the investment, we record the consolidated investment at fair value. The difference between the book value of our equity investment on the purchase date and our share of the fair value of the investment’s purchase price is recorded as a purchase price fair value adjustment in our consolidated statements of income. In April 2013, we recognized a purchase price fair value adjustment of $(2.3) million in connection with the consolidation of 16 Court Street, which was previously accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated joint venture.
We allocate the purchase price of real estate to land and building (inclusive of tenant improvements) and, if determined to be material, intangibles, such as the value of above- and below-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases. We depreciate the amount allocated to building (inclusive of tenant improvements) and other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years and from one to 14 years, respectively. The values of the above- and below-market leases are amortized and recorded as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income over the remaining term of the associated lease, which generally range from one to 14 years. The value associated with in-place leases is amortized over the expected term of the associated lease, which generally ranges from one to 14 years. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). We assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. To the extent acquired leases contain fixed rate renewal options that are below market and determined to be material, we amortize such below market lease value into rental income over the renewal period.
We recognized a decrease approximately $1.5 million in rental revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 for the amortization of aggregate above-market leases and reductions in lease origination costs in excess of below-market leases, which included approximately $6.8 million resulting from a write-off of above-market and in-place lease balances associated with a former tenant. Excluding this non-recurring charge, we recognized an increase of approximately $5.3 million in rental revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases in excess of above-market leases and reductions in lease origination costs. We recognized an increase of approximately $8.5 million, $2.6 million and $7.4 million in rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases in excess of above-market leases and reductions in lease origination costs.We recognized a reduction in interest expense for the amortization of the above-market rate mortgages assumed of approximately $1.3 million, $4.0 million, $1.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Investment in Marketable Securities
We invest in marketable securities. At the time of purchase, we are required to designate a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading depending on ability and intent. We do not have any securities designated as held-to-maturity or trading at this time. Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value pursuant to ASC 820-10, with the net unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The cost of bonds and marketable securities sold was determined using the specific identification method.
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we held the following marketable securities (in thousands):

Our equity marketable securities represent our investment in Gramercy Capital Corp., which was renamed Gramercy Property Trust Inc. (NYSE: GPT), or Gramercy, in April 2013. Marc Holliday, our chief executive officer, remains a board member of Gramercy. As we no longer have any significant influence over Gramercy, we account for our investment as available-for-sale securities.
The cost basis of the Level 3 securities was $3.6 million and $3.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. There were no sales of Level 3 securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Level 3 securities mature at various times through 2030.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. In order for the tenant to take possession, the leased space must be substantially ready for its intended use. To determine whether the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use, management evaluates whether we are or the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space, which is when such tenant improvements are substantially complete. In certain instances, when management concludes that we are not the owner (the tenant is the owner) of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space. When management concludes that we are the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, management records amounts funded to construct the tenant improvements as a capital asset. For these tenant improvements, management records amounts reimbursed by tenants as a reduction of the capital asset. When management concludes that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, management records our contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is included in deferred leasing costs on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases are included in deferred rents receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We establish, on a current basis, an allowance for future potential tenant credit losses, which may occur against this account. The balance reflected on the consolidated balance sheets is net of such allowance.
In addition to base rent, our tenants also generally will pay their pro rata share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses for the building over a base year. In some leases, in lieu of paying additional rent based upon increases in building operating expenses, the tenant will pay additional rent based upon increases in the wage rate paid to porters over the porters’ wage rate in effect during a base year or increases in the consumer price index over the index value in effect during a base year. In addition, many of our leases contain fixed percentage increases over the base rent to cover escalations. Electricity is most often supplied by the landlord either on a sub-metered basis, or rent inclusion basis (i.e., a fixed fee is included in the rent for electricity, which amount may increase based upon increases in electricity rates or increases in electrical usage by the tenant). Base building services other than electricity (such as heat, air conditioning and freight elevator service during business hours, and base building cleaning) are typically provided at no additional cost, with the tenant paying additional rent only for services which exceed base building services or for services which are provided outside normal business hours. These escalations are based on actual expenses incurred in the prior calendar year. If the expenses in the current year are different from those in the prior year, then during the current year, the escalations will be adjusted to reflect the actual expenses for the current year.
We record a gain on sale of real estate when title is conveyed to the buyer, subject to the buyer’s financial commitment being sufficient to provide economic substance to the sale and we have no substantial economic involvement with the buyer.
Interest income on debt and preferred equity investments is recognized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method and recognized on the accrual basis. Fees received in connection with loan commitments are deferred until the loan is funded and are then recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Anticipated exit fees, whose collection is expected, are also recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Fees on commitments that expire unused are recognized at expiration.
Income recognition is generally suspended for debt and preferred equity investments at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of interest income and principal becomes doubtful. Interest income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Interest is recorded as income on impaired loans only to the extent cash is received. Several of the debt and preferred equity investments provide for accrual of interest at specified rates, which differ from current payment terms. Interest is recognized on such loans at the accrual rate subject to management’s determination that accrued interest and outstanding principal are ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and operations of the borrower. If management cannot make this determination, interest income above the current pay rate is recognized only upon actual receipt.
If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount, intend to hold it until maturity and expect to recover the full value of the investment, we accrete the discount into income as an adjustment to yield over the term of the investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount with the intention of foreclosing on the collateral, we do not accrete the discount.
Reserve for Possible Credit Losses
The expense for possible credit losses in connection with debt and preferred equity investments is the charge to earnings to increase the allowance for possible credit losses to the level that we estimate to be adequate, based on Level 3 data, considering delinquencies, loss experience and collateral quality. Other factors considered relate to geographic trends and product diversification, the size of the portfolio and current economic conditions. Based upon these factors, we establish the provision for possible credit losses on each individual investment. When it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due, the investment is considered impaired.

Where impairment is indicated on an investment that is held to maturity, a valuation allowance is measured based upon the excess of the recorded investment amount over the net fair value of the collateral. Any deficiency between the carrying amount of an asset and the calculated value of the collateral is charged to expense. The write-off of the reserve balance is called a charge off. We continue to assess or adjust our estimates based on circumstances of a loan and the underlying collateral. If the additional information obtained reflects increased recovery of our investment, we will adjust our reserves accordingly.
We recorded no loan loss reserves during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded loan loss reserves of zero and $3.0 million, respectively, on investments being held to maturity and approximately zero and $2.4 million, respectively, in recoveries in connection with the sale of our investments. This is included in loan loss and other investment reserves, net of recoveries in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Debt and preferred equity investments held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value using available market information obtained through consultation with dealers or other originators of such investments as well as discounted cash flow models based on Level 3 data pursuant to ASC 820-10. As circumstances change, management may conclude not to sell an investment designated as held for sale. In such situations, the investment will be reclassified at its net carrying value to debt and preferred equity investments held to maturity. For these reclassified investments, the difference between the current carrying value and the expected cash to be collected at maturity will be accreted into income over the remaining term of the investment.
Income Taxes
SL Green is taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code. As a REIT, SL Green generally is not subject to Federal income tax. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, SL Green must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. If SL Green fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income tax on SL Green's taxable income at regular corporate rates. SL Green may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, Federal income and excise taxes may be due on SL Green's undistributed taxable income.
The Operating Partnership is a partnership and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. The only provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to the Operating Partnership’s consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries. We may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes.
Pursuant to amendments to the Code that became effective January 1, 2001, we have elected, and may elect in the future, to treat certain of our existing or newly created corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or a TRS. In general, our TRSs may perform non-customary services for our tenants, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. Our TRSs generate income, resulting in Federal and state income tax liability for these entities.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded Federal, state and local tax provisions of $2.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded Federal, state and local tax provisions of zero and less than $0.1 million, respectively.
We follow a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited.
Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans
We have a stock-based employee compensation plan, described more fully in Note 14, “Share-based Compensation.”

Our stock options are recorded at fair value at the time of issuance. Fair value of the stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our plan has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in our opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our employee stock options.
Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the award. Our policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. Awards of stock or restricted stock are expensed as compensation over the benefit period based on the fair value of the stock on the grant date.
For share-based awards with a performance or market measure, we recognize compensation cost over the requisite service period, using the accelerated attribution expense method. The requisite service period begins on the date the compensation committee of our board of directors authorizes the award, adopts any relevant performance measures and communicates the award to the employees. For programs with performance measures, the total estimated compensation cost is based on the fair value of the award at the applicable reporting date estimated using a binomial model. For share-based awards for which there is no pre-established performance measure, we recognize compensation cost over the service vesting period, which represents the requisite service period, on a straight-line basis. In accordance with the provisions of our share-based incentive compensation plans, we accept the return of shares of Company common stock, at the current quoted market price, from certain key employees to satisfy minimum statutory tax-withholding requirements related to shares that vested during the period.
Awards can also be made in the form of a separate series of units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership called long-term incentive plan units, or LTIP Units. LTIP Units, which can be granted either as free-standing awards or in tandem with other awards under our stock incentive plan, are valued by reference to the value of the Company's common stock at the time of grant, and are subject to such conditions and restrictions as the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors may determine, including continued employment or service, computation of financial metrics and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.
Earnings per Share of the Company
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share, or EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Basic EPS includes participating securities, consisting of unvested restricted stock that receive nonforfeitable dividends similar to shares of common stock. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount. Diluted EPS also includes units of limited partnership interest. The dilutive effect of stock options is reflected in the weighted average diluted outstanding shares calculation by application of the treasury stock method. There is no dilutive effect for the exchangeable senior debentures as the conversion premium will be paid in cash.
Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership
The Operating Partnership presents both basic and diluted earnings per unit, or EPU. Basic EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common unitholders by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period. Basic EPU includes participating securities, consisting of unvested restricted units that receive nonforfeitable dividends similar to shares of common units. Diluted EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common units were exercised or converted into common units, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPU amount. The dilutive effect of unit options is reflected in the weighted average diluted outstanding units calculation by application of the treasury stock method. There is no dilutive effect for the exchangeable senior notes as the conversion premium will be paid in cash.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments, debt and preferred equity investments and accounts receivable. We place our cash investments in excess of insured amounts with high quality financial institutions. The collateral securing our debt and preferred equity investments is located in the New York Metropolitan area. See Note 5, “Debt and Preferred Equity Investments.” We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants and require most tenants to provide security deposits or letters of credit. Though these security deposits and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the total value of a tenant’s lease obligation, they are a measure of good faith and a source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost rent and the costs associated with re-tenanting the space. Although the properties in our real estate portfolio are primarily located in Manhattan, we also have Suburban properties located in Brooklyn, Long Island, Westchester County, Connecticut, Northern New Jersey and the west coast. The tenants located in our buildings operate in various industries. Other than three tenants who account for approximately 7.3%, 6.5% and 6.0% of our share of annualized cash rent, no other tenant in our portfolio accounted for more than 2.0% of our annualized cash rent, including our share of joint venture annualized cash rent for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Approximately 10%, 7% and 6% of our annualized cash rent for consolidated properties for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was attributable to 1515 Broadway, 1185 Avenue of the Americas and One Madison Avenue, respectively. In addition, one debt and preferred equity investment accounted for more than 10% of the income earned on debt and preferred equity investments during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Reclassification
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to our current year presentation primarily in order to eliminate discontinued operations from income from continuing operations and to reclassify deferred origination fees from deferred income to debt and preferred equity investments.
Accounting Standards Updates
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation and disclosure of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI. The standard requires an entity to present information about significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes to financial statements. The guidance became effective for calendar year-end public companies beginning in the first quarter of 2013 and its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. Property Acquisitions
In April 2013, we acquired interests from our joint venture partner, City Investment Fund, or CIF, in 16 Court Street for $4.0 million. We have consolidated the ownership of the 318,000 square foot building. The transaction valued the consolidated interest at $96.2 million, inclusive of the $84.7 million mortgage encumbering the property. We recognized a purchase price fair value adjustment of $(2.3) million upon the closing of this transaction. This property, which we initially acquired in July 2007, was previously accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures. We are currently in the process of analyzing the purchase price allocation and, as such, we have not allocated any value to intangible assets such as above- and below-market lease or in-place leases.
In March 2013, we, along with Magnum Real Estate Group, acquired 84 residential apartment units, consisting of 72 apartment units and 12 townhouses, located at 248-252 Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg, Brooklyn for $54.9 million. Simultaneous with the closing, the joint venture closed on a five-year $22.0 million mortgage loan which carries a floating rate of interest of 225 basis points over LIBOR. The property is above a commercial property already owned by us. We hold a 90% controlling interest in this joint venture.

In September 2013, we sold the property located at 300 Main Street, Stamford, Connecticut for $13.5 million. We recorded a $2.2 million impairment charge in the second quarter of 2013.
In August 2013, we sold the property located at 333 West 34th, New York, New York for $220.3 million. We recognized a gain of $13.8 million on the sale. The $211.0 million net proceeds from the sale of this property are temporarily being held at a qualified intermediary, at our direction, for the purpose of facilitating a Section 1031 Like-Kind Exchange, and, as such, are included in restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013.
In February 2013, we, along with our joint venture partner, sold our property located at 44 West 55th Street for $6.3 million. We recognized a gain of $1.1 million on the sale.
Discontinued operations included the results of operations of real estate assets under contract or sold prior to September 30, 2013. This included 300 Main Street, which was sold in September 2013, 333 West 34th Street, which was sold in August 2013, 44 West 55th Street, which was sold in February 2013 and 292 Madison Avenue, which was sold in February 2012.

5. Debt and Preferred Equity Investments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, our debt and preferred equity investments (net of discounts and deferred origination fees) increased approximately $497.4 million and $374.0 million, respectively, due to originations, purchases, accretion of reserves and discounts and paid-in-kind interest. We recorded repayments, participations and sales of approximately $530.2 million and $288.3 million, respectively, and loan loss reserves of zero and $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which offset the increases in debt and preferred equity investments.
Debt Investments
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we held the following debt investments with an aggregate weighted average current yield of approximately 11.3% at September 30, 2013 (in thousands):

(1) | Acquisition price represents the actual or implied gross purchase price for the joint venture. |
| |
(2) | In March 2013, Sutton conveyed his interest in this property to us. |
| |
(3) | The property is subject to a triple-net lease arrangement with a single tenant, which expires in 2020. |
| |
(4) | In June 2013, the joint venture completed its redevelopment project and has conveyed a 30-year ground lease condominium interest in the building to Pace University, or Pace, its primary tenant. |
| |
(5) | We had an obligation to fund an additional $47.5 million to the joint venture which has been fully funded as of June 30, 2013. As a result of the sale of a condominium interest in September 2012, Young & Rubicam, Inc., or Y&R, owns a portion of the property, generally floors three through eight referred to as Y&R units. As the joint venture has an option to repurchase the Y&R units, no gain was recognized on this transaction. |
| |
(6) | In connection with this acquisition, the joint venture also acquired a long-term leasehold interest in the retail space and certain other spaces at 1560 Broadway, which is adjacent to 1552 Broadway. The purchase price relates only to the purchase of the 1552 Broadway interest which comprises 13,045 square feet. In 2012, we, |

along with Sutton, acquired the property at 155 West 46th Street, which is adjacent to 1552 and 1560 Broadway, and sold it to the fee owner of 1560 Broadway.
| |
(7) | The joint venture acquired the fee interest in the property and will develop an approximately 30 story building for student housing. Upon completion of the development, the joint venture will convey a long-term ground lease condominium interest in the building to Pace. |
| |
(8) | Prior to the recapitalization in September 2012, the Company held $26.7 million in mezzanine and preferred equity positions in the entity that owned the portfolio. Following the recapitalization, Blackstone became the majority owner of the joint venture, with Equity Office Properties, a Blackstone affiliate, being responsible for the portfolio’s management and leasing. In February 2013, we acquired Gramercy’s 10.73% interest in the joint venture and simultaneously sold 20.78% of the newly acquired interest to Square Mile Capital Management LLC or Square Mile. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we acquired Square Mile’s 6.00% interest in the joint venture and the joint venture sold three of the properties for an aggregate of $224.3 million, on which we recognized a gain of approximately $2.1 million. The proceeds from the sale of these properties were used primarily to repay $194.5 million of the mortgage and $20.5 million of the mezzanine loan. |
| |
(9) | Following the sale of our 49.5% partnership interest in 521 Fifth Avenue, we deconsolidated the entity effective November 30, 2012 and have accounted for our investment under the equity method. |
| |
(10) | We hold a 32.28% interest in three retail and two residential units at the property and a 16.14% in four residential units at the property. |
| |
(11) | The joint venture acquired a preferred equity interest in an entity that holds the interest in a mixed commercial use property located in Manhattan. The preferred equity bears interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum and matures in June 2016. |

(3) | In April 2013, this loan was refinanced at par and its maturity was extended to April 2023. |
| |
(4) | This loan went into default in November 2009 due to the non-payment of debt service. |

| |
(8) | This loan has a committed amount of $260.0 million. The joint venture has the ability to increase the mortgage by $40.0 million based on meeting certain performance hurdles. In connection with this obligation, we executed a master lease agreement and our joint venture partner executed a contribution agreement to reflect its pro rata obligation under the master lease. The lien on the mortgage and the master lease excludes the condominium interest owned by Y&R. See Note 5 of prior table. |
| |
(9) | In April 2013, we refinanced the previous $119.6 million mortgage with a $200.0 million three-year loan construction financing facility comprised of a $170.0 million mortgage loan and a $30.0 million mezzanine loan.

(8) | The Master Repurchase Agreement, or MRA, has a maximum facility capacity of $175.0 million, under which we agreed to sell certain debt investments in exchange for cash with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same debt investments at a certain date or on demand. In September 2013, the maturity of this MRA was extended to November 2013 subject to a 10 months extension option.

9. Corporate Indebtedness
2012 Credit Facility
In November 2012, we entered into a $1.6 billion credit facility, or the 2012 credit facility, which refinanced, extended and upsized the previous 2011 revolving credit facility. The 2012 credit facility consists of a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility, or the revolving credit facility, and a $400.0 million term loan, or the term loan facility. The revolving credit facility matures in March 2017 and includes two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee of 10 basis points for each such extension. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, without the consent of existing lenders, to increase the capacity under the revolving credit facility to $1.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity date for the revolving credit facility, by obtaining additional commitments from our current lenders and other financial institutions. The term loan facility matures on March 30, 2018.
The 2012 credit facility bears interest at a spread over LIBOR ranging from (i) 100 basis points to 175 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility and (ii) 115 basis points to 200 basis points for loans under the term loan facility, in each case based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of ROP. At September 30, 2013, the applicable spread was 145 basis points for revolving credit facility and 165 basis points for the term loan facility. At September 30, 2013, the effective interest rate was 1.64% for revolving credit facility and 2.00% for the term loan facility. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 15 to 35 basis point fee on the unused balance of the commitments under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2013, the facility fee was 30 basis points. At September 30, 2013, we had approximately $79.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, $340.0 million borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $400.0 million outstanding under the term loan facility, with undrawn capacity of $0.9 billion under the 2012 credit facility.
The Company, ROP and the Operating Partnership are all borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2012 credit facility. No other subsidiary of ours is an obligor under the 2012 credit facility.
The 2012 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).

Restrictive Covenants
The terms of the 2012 credit facility and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum amount of tangible net worth, a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that we will not during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, except to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Junior Subordinate Deferrable Interest Debentures
In June 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million in unsecured floating rate trust preferred securities through a newly formed trust, SL Green Capital Trust I, or the Trust, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The proceeds from the security offering were transferred to the Operating Partnership as a loan. The securities mature in 2035 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.61% for the first ten years ending July 2015. Interest payments may be deferred for a period of up to eight consecutive quarters if the Operating Partnership exercises its right to defer such payments. The Trust preferred securities are redeemable, at the option of the Operating Partnership, in whole or in part, with no prepayment premium. We do not consolidate the Trust even though it is a variable interest entity as we are not the primary beneficiary. Because the Trust is not consolidated, we have recorded the debt on our balance sheet and the related payments are classified as interest expense.

13. Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership
The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and at September 30, 2013 owned 92,214,396 general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and 9,200,000 Series I Preferred Units. Partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are denominated as “common units of limited partnership interest” (also referred to as “OP Units”) or “preferred units of limited partnership interest” (also referred to as “Preferred Units”). All references to OP Units and Preferred Units outstanding exclude such units held by the Company. A holder of an OP Unit may present such OP Unit to the Operating Partnership for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the issuance of OP Units to particular holders that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, the Operating Partnership must redeem such OP Unit in exchange for the cash equal to the then value of a share of common stock of the Company, except that the Company may, at its election, in lieu of cash redemption, acquire such OP Unit for one share of common stock. Because the number of shares of common stock outstanding at all times equals the number of OP Units that the Company owns, one share of common stock is generally the economic equivalent of one OP Unit, and the quarterly distribution that may be paid to the holder of an OP Unit equals the quarterly dividend that may be paid to the holder of a share of common stock. Each series of Preferred Units makes a distribution that is set in accordance with an amendment to the

Third Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
SL Green Realty Corp. and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2013
(unaudited)
The Third Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2005 Plan, was approved by the Company's board of directors in April 2013 and its stockholders in June 2013 at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders. The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, unrestricted and restricted stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards. Subject to adjustments upon certain corporate transactions or events, awards with respect to up to a maximum of 17,130,000 fungible units may be granted under the 2005 Plan. Currently, different types of awards count against the limit on the number of fungible units differently, with (1) full-value awards (i.e., those that deliver the full value of the award upon vesting, such as restricted stock) counting as 2.76 fungible units per share subject to such award (2) stock options, stock appreciation rights and other awards that do not deliver full value and expire five year from the date of grant counting as 0.77 fungible units per share subject to such awards, and (3) all other awards (e.g., ten-year stock options) counting as 1.0 fungible units per share subject to such award. Awards granted under the 2005 Plan prior to the approval of the second amendment and restatement in June 2010 and third amendment and restatement in June 2013 continue to count against the fungible unit limit based on the ratios that were in effect at the time such awards were granted, which may be different than the current ratios. As a result, depending on the types of awards issued, the 2005 Plan may result in the issuance of more or less than 17,130,000 shares. If a stock option or other award granted under the 2005 Plan expires or terminates, the common stock subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards. Shares of the Company's common stock distributed under the 2005 Plan may be treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares. Currently, unless the 2005 Plan has been previously terminated by the board of directors, new awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan until June 13, 2023, which is the tenth anniversary of the date that the 2005 Plan was most recently approved by the Company's stockholders. As of September 30, 2013, 5.8 million fungible units were available for issuance under the 2005 Plan after reserving for shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, phantom stock units granted pursuant to our Non-Employee Directors’ Deferral Program and LTIP Units, including, among others, outstanding LTIP Units issued under our 2011 Long-Term Outperformance Plan, which remain subject to performance-based vesting.
Options are granted under the plan at the fair market value on the date of grant and, subject to termination of employment, generally expire ten years from the date of grant, are not transferable other than on death, and generally vest in one to five years commencing one year from the date of grant.
The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on historical information with the following weighted average assumptions for grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012.

Stock-based Compensation
Effective January 1, 1999, we implemented a deferred compensation plan, or the Deferred Plan, covering certain of our employees, including our executives. The shares issued under the Deferred Plan were granted to certain employees, including our executives, and vesting will occur annually upon the completion of a service period or our meeting established financial performance criteria. Annual vesting occurs at rates ranging from 15% to 35% once performance criteria are reached.

2010 Notional Unit Long-Term Compensation Plan
In December 2009, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2010 Notional Unit Long-Term Compensation Program, or the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan. The 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan is a long-term incentive compensation plan pursuant to which award recipients could earn, in the aggregate, from approximately $15.0 million up to approximately $75.0 million of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership based on our stock price appreciation over three years beginning on December 1, 2009; provided that, if maximum performance had been achieved, approximately $25.0 million of awards could be earned at any time after the beginning of the second year and an additional approximately $25.0 million of awards could be earned at any time after the beginning of the third year. In order to achieve maximum performance under the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan, our aggregate stock price appreciation during the performance period had to equal or exceed 50%. The compensation committee determined that maximum performance had been achieved at or shortly after the beginning of each of the second and third years of the performance period and for the full performance period and, accordingly, 366,815 LTIP Units, 385,583 LTIP Units and 327,416 LTIP Units were earned under the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan in December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Substantially in accordance with the original terms of the program, 50% of these LTIP Units vested on December 17, 2012 (accelerated from the original January 1, 2013 vesting date) and the remainder is scheduled to vest ratably on January 1, 2014 and 2015 based on continued employment. In accordance with the terms of the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan, distributions were not paid on any LTIP Units until they were earned, at which time we paid all distributions that would have been paid on the earned LTIP Units since the beginning of the performance period.
The cost of the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan (approximately $31.7 million, subject to forfeitures) will be amortized into earnings through the final vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million, $3.6 million, $3.3 million and $7.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan.
2011 Outperformance Plan
In August 2011, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2011 Outperformance Plan, or the 2011 Outperformance Plan. Participants in the 2011 Outperformance Plan may earn, in the aggregate, up to $85 million of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership based on our total return to stockholders for the three-year period beginning September 1, 2011. Under the 2011 Outperformance Plan, participants will be entitled to share in a “performance pool” comprised of LTIP Units with a value equal to 10% of the amount, if any, by which our total return to stockholders during the three-year period exceeds a cumulative total return to stockholders of 25%, subject to the maximum of $85 million of LTIP Units; provided that if maximum performance has been achieved, approximately one-third of each award may be earned at any time after the beginning of the second year and an additional approximately one-third of each award may be earned at any time after the beginning of the third year. LTIP Units earned under the 2011 Outperformance Plan will be subject to continued vesting requirements, with 50% of any awards earned vesting on August 31, 2014 and the remaining 50% vesting on August 31, 2015, subject to continued employment with us through such dates. Participants will not be entitled to distributions with respect to LTIP Units granted under the 2011 Outperformance Plan unless and until they are earned. If LTIP Units are earned, each participant will also be entitled to the distributions that would have been paid had the number of earned LTIP Units been issued at the beginning of the performance period, with such distributions being paid in the form of additional LTIP Units. Thereafter, distributions will be paid currently with respect to all earned LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested.
The cost of the 2011 Outperformance Plan (approximately $26.3 million, subject to forfeitures) will be amortized into earnings through the final vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $1.7 million, $6.2 million, $1.4 million and $4.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the 2011 Outperformance Plan.

Deferred Stock Compensation Plan for Directors
Under our Independent Director’s Deferral Program, which commenced July 2004, the Company's non-employee directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer fee, chairman fees and meeting fees. Unless otherwise elected by a participant, fees deferred under the program shall be credited in the form of phantom stock units. The phantom stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon such directors’ termination of service from the board of directors or a change in control by us, as defined by the program. Phantom stock units are credited to each non-employee director quarterly using the closing price of our common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating non-employee director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of phantom stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 6,692 phantom stock units were earned. As of September 30, 2013, there were approximately 74,805 phantom stock units outstanding.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On September 18, 2007, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, to encourage our employees to increase their efforts to make our business more successful by providing equity-based incentives to eligible employees. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code, and has been adopted by the board to enable our eligible employees to purchase our shares of common stock through payroll deductions. The ESPP became effective on January 1, 2008 with a maximum of 500,000 shares of the common stock available for issuance, subject to adjustment upon a merger, reorganization, stock split or other similar corporate change. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC with respect to the ESPP. The common stock is offered for purchase through a series of successive offering periods. Each offering period will be three months in duration and will begin on the first day of each calendar quarter, with the first offering period having commenced on January 1, 2008. The ESPP provides for eligible employees to purchase the common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period or (2) the market value of the common stock on the last day of the offering period. The ESPP was approved by the Company's stockholders at the Company's 2008 annual meeting of stockholders. As of September 30, 2013, approximately 72,026 shares of our common stock had been issued under the ESPP.

17. Fair Value Measurements
We are required to disclose the fair value information about our financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. FASB guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We measure and disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on a hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consist of three broad levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are used when little or no market data is available. We follow this hierarchy for our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. In instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of the particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis by their levels in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

We determine impairment in real estate investments and debt and preferred equity investments, including intangibles utilizing cash flow projections that apply estimated revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, which are classified as Level 3 inputs.
The fair value of derivative instruments is based on current market data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based on well-recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions, which are classified as Level 2 inputs.
The financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, debt and preferred equity investments, and mortgages and other loans payable and other secured and unsecured debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses reported in our consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt and preferred equity investments, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with the same maturities would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The fair value of borrowings, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows of each debt to their present value using adjusted market interest rates, which is provided by a third-party specialist.
The following table provides the carrying value and fair value of these financial instruments as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

(1) | Debt and preferred equity investments had an estimated fair value ranging between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion at September 30, 2013. At December 31, 2012, the debt and preferred equity investments had an estimated fair value ranging between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion. |
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to us as of September 30, 2013. Although we are not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the reasonable fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
18. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging
In the normal course of business, we use a variety of commonly used derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, caps, collar and floors, to manage, or hedge interest rate risk. We hedge our exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted

transactions in addition to anticipated future interest payments on existing debt. We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. Reported net income and equity may increase or decrease prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows. Currently, all of our designated derivative instruments are effective hedging instruments.
The following table summarizes the notional and fair value of our derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2013 based on Level 2 inputs. The notional value is an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (amounts in thousands):

Gains and losses on terminated hedges are included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, and are recognized into earnings over the term of the related mortgage obligation. Over time, the realized and unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. We estimate that approximately $2.7 million of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into interest expense and $5.0 million of the portion related to our share of joint venture accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into equity in net income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures within the next 12 months.

Real Estate Purchase Commitment
In August 2013, we entered into a contract to acquire a mixed-use residential and commercial property located at 315 West 33rd Street for $386.0 million. This transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
20. Segment Information
We are a REIT engaged in owning, managing, leasing, acquiring and repositioning commercial properties in the New York Metropolitan area and have two reportable segments, real estate and debt and preferred equity. We evaluate real estate performance and allocate resources based on earnings contribution to income from continuing operations.
Our real estate portfolio is primarily located in the geographical markets of the New York Metropolitan area. The primary sources of revenue are generated from tenant rents and escalations and reimbursement revenue. Real estate property operating expenses consist primarily of security, maintenance, utility costs, real estate taxes and ground rent expense (at certain applicable properties). See Note 5, “Debt and Preferred Equity Investments,” for additional details on our debt and preferred equity investments.
Selected results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and selected asset information as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, regarding our operating segments are as follows (in thousands):

(unaudited)
Income from continuing operations represents total revenues less total expenses for the real estate segment and total investment income less allocated interest expense for the debt and preferred equity segment. Interest costs for the debt and preferred equity segment are imputed assuming 100% leverage at our 2012 credit facility borrowing cost as well as the interest under the MRA. We also allocate loan loss reserves, net of recoveries to the debt and preferred equity segment. We do not allocate marketing, general and administrative expenses and transaction related costs (totaling approximately $18.5 million, $64.2 million, $21.9 million and $65.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively) to the debt and preferred equity segment since we base performance on the individual segments prior to allocating marketing, general and administrative expenses. All other expenses, except interest, relate entirely to the real estate assets.
There were no transactions between the above two segments.

21. Subsequent Events
In October 2013, we closed on a 7-year, $275.0 million mortgage financing of 220 East 42nd Street. The floating rate mortgage bears interest at 160 basis points over the 30-day LIBOR.
In November 2013, the Company completed an offering of 2,600,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $95.94 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $249.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts (approximately $5.7 million). The Company also granted an option to the underwriter to purchase up to 390,000 additional shares of common stock at a price of $95.94 per share within 30 days from October 28, 2013.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Overview
SL Green Realty Corp., which is referred to as the Company or SL Green, a Maryland corporation, and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., which is referred to as SLGOP or the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, were formed in June 1997 for the purpose of combining the commercial real estate business of S.L. Green Properties, Inc. and its affiliated partnerships and entities. The Operating Partnership received a contribution of interest in the real estate properties, as well as 95% of the economic interest in the management, leasing and construction companies, which are referred to as the Service Corporation, a consolidated variable interest entity. All of the management, leasing and construction services with respect to the properties which are wholly-owned by us are conducted through SL Green Management LLC which is 100% owned by the Operating Partnership. The Company has qualified, and expects to qualify in the current fiscal year, as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and operates as a self-administered, self-managed REIT. A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate interests and, through payments of dividends to stockholders, is permitted to minimize the payment of Federal income taxes at the corporate level. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we,” “our” and “us” means the Company and all entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership.
Reckson Associates Realty Corp., or Reckson, and Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., or ROP, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
The following discussion related to our consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
As of September 30, 2013, we owned the following interests in commercial office properties in the New York Metropolitan area, primarily in midtown Manhattan, a borough of New York City.

Rental, Escalation and Reimbursement Revenues
Occupancy in the Same-Store consolidated properties was 91.1% at September 30, 2013 compared to 90.7% at September 30, 2012. Occupancy for our Same-Store Manhattan consolidated portfolio was 93.8% at September 30, 2013 compared to 93.1% at September 30, 2012. Occupancy for our Suburban consolidated portfolio was 79.1% at September 30, 2013 compared to 79.3% at September 30, 2012.
Rental revenues depend on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space available from unscheduled lease terminations.
The following table presents a summary of the leasing activity for the three months ended September 30, 2013 in our Manhattan and Suburban portfolio:

At September 30, 2013, approximately 2.3% and 3.3% of the space leased at our consolidated Manhattan and Suburban properties, respectively, is expected to expire during the remainder of 2013. Based on our estimates, the current market asking rents on these expected 2013 lease expirations at our consolidated Manhattan and Suburban properties would be approximately 11.2% and 11.0% higher, respectively, than the existing in-place fully escalated rents while the current market asking rents on all our consolidated Manhattan and Suburban properties were approximately 14.5% and 4.0% higher, respectively, than the existing in-place fully escalated rents on leases that are scheduled to expire in all future years.
Rental revenue decreased primarily as a result of our reduced ownership and deconsolidation of the West Coast portfolio ($15.0 million). In late September 2012, we formed a joint venture for the recapitalization of the West Coast portfolio. Prior to the recapitalization, we consolidated the investment as a result of our 63.18% ownership interest and control over its activities. Following the recapitalization, our ownership interest was 27.63%. The change in ownership resulted in a change in the accounting from consolidating the investment to accounting for the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. As of September 30, 2013, we had a 43.74% effective ownership interest in the West Coast portfolio. For further details, see Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Escalation and reimbursement revenue increased primarily as a result of higher real estate recoveries ($2.3 million) and operating expense escalations ($2.3 million) from the Same Store Properties. This increase was partially offset by the change in ownership interest and the accounting for the West Coast portfolio ($1.7 million) as discussed above.
Investment and Preferred Equity Income
Investment and preferred equity income increased primarily as a result of a higher average investment balance and weighted average yield in 2013. The weighted average investment balance and weighted average yield were $1.3 billion and 11.5%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.1 billion and 9.6%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2013, our debt and preferred equity investments had a weighted average term to maturity of approximately 2.2 years.
Other Income
Other income increased primarily as a result of an expense reimbursement ($4.2 million), partially offset by lower other income at the Same-Store Properties ($2.2 million) and a one-time acquisition fee earned in 2012 in connection with our investment in 33 Beekman ($1.3 million). The decrease in Same-Store Properties was primarily a result of lower lease buy-out income in 2013 ($1.2 million) and real estate tax refunds received in 2012 ($1.1 million).
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses decreased primarily as a result of the change in ownership interest and accounting for the West Coast portfolio ($9.0 million) as discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by higher operating expenses at the Same-Store Properties ($7.5 million) mainly a result of higher real estate taxes ($3.9 million), ground rent ($1.3 million), repairs and maintenance ($1.0 million), payroll costs ($0.8 million), and insurance ($0.4 million), which were partially offset by lower utility expenses ($0.9 million). The increase in real estate taxes was primarily due to higher assessed value and higher tax rates.
Transaction Related Costs
Transaction related costs decreased primarily as a result of the reimbursement of expenses previously incurred.
Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $20.9 million, or 4.9% of total revenues including our share of joint venture revenue compared to $20.6 million, or 5.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income
Interest expense, net of interest income decreased primarily as a result of lower average consolidated debt balances outstanding during the period due to the repayment of debt balances at 220 East 42nd Street ($1.6 million), 609 Fifth Avenue ($1.3 million) and 110 East 42nd Street ($1.0 million) and the change in accounting for the West Coast portfolio ($5.2 million), as discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by our issuance of a $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.5% senior notes due 2022 in November 2012 ($2.3 million), increased borrowings from our 2012 revolving credit facility ($2.0 million) and the Master Repurchase Agreement facility, or MRA, ($1.7 million), and the refinancing at 1515 Broadway ($1.5 million). The weighted average debt balance outstanding was $6.9 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $6.4 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The weighted average interest rate decreased from 5.06% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to 4.77% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased mainly as a result of assets acquired subsequent to July 2012 ($3.1 million), the write-off of tenant improvements and in-place leases relating to a former tenant that filed for bankruptcy in August 2013 ($4.7 million) and the remaining increase primarily resulting from an increase in capital expenditures at the properties. This increase was partially offset by the change in the accounting in the West Coast portfolio ($3.4 million), as discussed above, and the sale of our interest in 521 Fifth Avenue in November 2012 ($1.8 million).
Equity in Net Income From Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased primarily as a result of additional income in 2012 resulting from the repayment of outstanding debt at a discount for The Meadows ($10.8 million) and the net loss associated with the West Coast portfolio ($5.6 million) as a result of the change in ownership interest and accounting, as discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by higher net income contributions from 388-390 Greenwich Street ($3.6 million) primarily as a result of reducing the interest rate on its fixed rate loan from 5.2% to 3.2% beginning December 2012 via an interest rate swap and 724 Madison Avenue ($1.3 million), which renewed and modified the lease with its single tenant effective in July 2013. Occupancy at our joint venture properties was 94.3% at September 30, 2013 and 94.2% at September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2013, less than 1.0% and approximately 10.3% of the space leased at our Manhattan and Suburban joint venture properties are expected to expire during the remainder of 2013. We estimate that current market asking rents on these expected 2013 lease expirations at our Manhattan and Suburban joint venture properties were approximately 5.3% and 3.1% lower, respectively, than the existing in-place fully escalated rents.
Equity in Net (Loss) Gain on Sale of Interest in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized additional post closing costs related to the sale of 521 Fifth Avenue ($0.9 million), partially offset by additional income from the sale of two properties in the West Office Portfolio ($0.5 million). During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a loss from the sale of One Court Square ($4.8 million).
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 includes the gain on sale recognized for 333 West 34th Street ($13.8 million), which closed in August 2013 and the results of operations for 333 West 34th Street and 300 Main Street. Prior year's results of operations for these properties were reclassified to discontinued operations to conform with the current year presentation.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the nine months ended September 30, 2012
The following comparison for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, or 2013, to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, or 2012, makes reference to the following: (i) the effect of the “Same-Store Properties,” which represents all operating properties owned by us in the same manner at January 1, 2012 and at September 30, 2013 and totaled 49 of our 52 consolidated properties, representing approximately 84.4% of our share of annualized cash rent, (ii) the effect of the “Acquisitions,” which represents all properties or interests in properties acquired in 2013 and 2012 and all non-Same-Store Properties, including properties deconsolidated during the period, and (iii) “Other,” which represents corporate level items not allocable to specific properties, as well as the Service Corporation and eEmerge Inc. Assets classified as held for sale, are excluded from the following discussion.

Rental, Escalation and Reimbursement Revenues
Occupancy in the Same-Store consolidated properties was 91.1% at September 30, 2013 compared to 90.7% at September 30, 2012. Occupancy for our Same-Store Manhattan consolidated portfolio was 93.8% at September 30, 2013 compared to 93.1% at September 30, 2012. Occupancy for our Suburban consolidated portfolio was 79.1% at September 30, 2013 compared to 79.3% at September 30, 2012.
Rental revenues depend on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space available from unscheduled lease terminations.

At September 30, 2013, approximately 2.3% and 3.3% of the space leased at our consolidated Manhattan and Suburban properties, respectively, is expected to expire during the remainder of 2013. Based on our estimates, the current market asking rents on these expected 2013 lease expirations at our consolidated Manhattan and Suburban properties would be approximately 11.2% and 11.0% higher, respectively, than the existing in-place fully escalated rents while the current market asking rents on all our consolidated Manhattan and Suburban properties were approximately 14.5% and 4.0% higher, respectively, than the existing in-place fully escalated rents on leases that are scheduled to expire in all future years.
Rental revenues increased primarily as a result of an increase in occupancy at our Same-Store properties ($13.7 million) as discussed above and for properties acquired subsequent to May 2012 ($25.3 million). This increase was partially offset by our reduced ownership and deconsolidation of the West Coast portfolio ($15.0 million). In late September 2012, we formed a joint venture for the recapitalization of the West Coast portfolio. Prior to the recapitalization, we consolidated the investment as a result of our 63.18% ownership interest and control over its activities. Following the recapitalization, our ownership interest was 27.63%. The change in ownership resulted in a change in the accounting from consolidating the investment to accounting for the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. As of September 30, 2013, we had a 43.74% effective ownership
interest in the West Coast portfolio. For further details, see Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Escalation and reimbursement revenue increased primarily as a result of higher recoveries at the Same-Store Properties ($2.1 million), partially offset by the change in ownership interest and accounting for the West Coast portfolio ($1.7 million), as discussed above. The increase in escalation and reimbursement revenue at the Same-Store Properties was mainly a result of higher real estate recoveries ($3.6 million) and operating expense escalations ($1.2 million), partially offset by lower electric reimbursements ($2.7 million).
Investment and Preferred Equity Income
Investment and preferred equity income increased primarily as a result of additional income recognized sale of a 50% interest in one investment ($12.9 million), additional income associated with the repayment of one investment ($6.4 million), and the remaining increase is primarily attributable to a higher average investment balance and weighted average yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The weighted average investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $1.3 billion and 13.5%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $1.0 billion and 9.7%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2013, our debt and preferred equity investments had a weighted average term to maturity of approximately 2.2 years.
Other Income
Other income decreased primarily as a result of lower other income at the Same-Store Properties ($3.8 million), a one-time acquisition fee earned in 2012 in connection with our investment in 33 Beekman ($1.3 million) and a one-time pre-development fee at 180 Broadway ($1.1 million) which was terminated in December 2012. This decrease was partially offset by an expense reimbursement ($4.2 million). The decrease in Same-Store Properties was primarily a result of lower lease buy-out income ($2.4 million) and real estate tax refunds received in 2012 ($1.6 million).
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased primarily as a result of higher operating expenses at the Same-Store Properties ($13.4 million), partially offset by the change in ownership interest and accounting for the West Coast portfolio ($9.0 million), as discussed above. The increase in property operating expenses at the Same-Store Properties was due mainly to higher real estate taxes ($6.0 million), ground rent ($3.2 million), payroll costs ($2.2 million) and insurance ($1.2 million), partially offset by lower utility expenses ($1.7 million).
Transaction Related Costs
Transaction related costs decreased primarily as a result of a reimbursement of expenses previously incurred.
Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $63.5 million, or 4.9% of total revenues including our share of joint venture revenue compared to $61.5 million, or 5.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income
Interest expense, net of interest income increased primarily as a result of the issuance of a $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.5% senior notes in November 2012 ($6.9 million), increased borrowings from our MRA ($5.9 million) and 2012 credit facility ($2.2 million) and the refinancing of 100 Church ($5.1 million) and 1515 Broadway ($4.4 million). This increase was partially offset by the repayment of debt balances at 609 Fifth Avenue ($4.9 million), 110 East 42nd Street ($2.9 million) and 220 East 42nd Street ($1.7 million), the change in accounting in the West Coast portfolio ($5.2 million) as discussed above and the sale of our interest in 521 Fifth Avenue in November 2012 ($3.3 million). The weighted average debt balance outstanding increased from $6.4 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $6.8 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The weighted average interest rate decreased by 3.0% from 4.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 4.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased mainly as a result of assets acquired subsequent to May 2012 ($9.4 million), the write-off of tenant improvements and in-place leases relating to a former tenant that filed for bankruptcy in August 2013 ($4.7 million) and the remaining increase primarily resulting from an increase capital expenditures at the properties. This increase was partially offset by change in accounting in the West Coast portfolio ($3.4 million), as discussed above, and the sale of our interest in 521 Fifth Avenue in November 2012 ($5.6 million).
Equity in Net Income From Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased primarily as a result of of additional income recognized in 2012 due to the recapitalization of 717 Fifth Avenue ($67.9 million) and the repayment of outstanding debt at a discount for the Meadows ($10.8 million) and the net loss associated with the change in accounting in the West Coast portfolio ($16.0 million), as discussed above. The decrease was partially offset by higher net income contributions from 388-390 Greenwich Street ($10.9 million) primarily as a result of reducing the interest rate on its fixed rate loan from 5.2% to 3.2% beginning December 2012 via an interest rate swap. Occupancy at our joint venture properties was 94.3% at September 30, 2013 and 94.2% at September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2013, less than 1.0% and approximately 10.3% of the space leased at our Manhattan and Suburban joint venture properties were expected to expire during the remainder of 2013. We estimate that current market asking rents on these expected 2013 lease expirations at our Manhattan and Suburban joint venture properties are approximately 5.3% lower and 3.1% lower, respectively, than then existing in-place fully escalated rents.
Equity in Net (Loss) Gain on Sale of Interest in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized additional post closing costs related to the sale of 521 Fifth Avenue ($2.8 million), partially offset by an additional income from the sale of three properties included in the West Office Portfolio ($2.1 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized gains on sale in connection with the sale of the properties located at 141 Fifth Avenue ($7.3 million), 379 Broadway ($6.5 million), and One Court Square ($1.0 million). Additionally, we recognized a gain on sale from the sale of our remaining interest at a property located at 717 Fifth Avenue ($3.0 million).
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
Loss on early extinguishment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 relates to the refinancing of 1515 Broadway.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes the gain on sale recognized for 333 West 34th Street ($13.8 million), which closed in August 2013, and 44 West 55th Street ($1.1 million), which closed in February 2013, and the results of operations for 333 West 34th Street, 44 West 55th Street and 300 Main Street, which closed in September 2013. Included in the results of operations is an impairment charge of $2.2 million for 300 Main Street, which was recorded in the second quarter of 2013. Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included the gain on sale recognized for 292 Madison Avenue ($6.6 million), which was sold in February 2012, and the results of operations for 292 Madison Avenue, 333 West 34th Street, 44 West 55th Street and 300 Main Street.
Reconciliation of Same-Store Operating Income to Net Operating Income
We present Same-Store net operating income, or Same-Store NOI, because we believe that these measures provide investors with useful information regarding the operating performance of properties that are comparable for the periods presented. For properties owned since January 1, 2012 and still owned in the same manner at the end of the current quarter, we determine Same-Store net operating income by subtracting Same-Store property operating expenses and ground rent from Same-Store rental and tenant reimbursement revenues. Our method of calculation may be different from methods used by other REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. None of these measures is an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) and Same-Store performance should not be considered an alternative to GAAP net income performance.
Same-Store NOI is determined as follows (amounts in millions):

Same-Store NOI decreased by $5.3 million, or 3.2%, from $164.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $159.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Same-Store NOI remained flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We currently expect that our principal sources of funds to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital and funds for acquisition and redevelopment of properties, tenant improvements, leasing costs, repurchases or repayments of outstanding indebtedness (which may include exchangeable debt) and for debt and preferred equity investments will include:
| |
(1) | Cash flow from operations; |
| |
(3) | Borrowings under our 2012 credit facility; |
| |
(4) | Other forms of secured or unsecured financing; |
| |
(5) | Net proceeds from divestitures of properties and redemptions, participations and dispositions of debt and preferred equity investments; and |
| |
(6) | Proceeds from common or preferred equity or debt offerings by the Company, the Operating Partnership (including issuances of units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and Trust preferred securities) or ROP. |
Cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. Additionally, we believe that our debt and preferred equity investment program will continue to serve as a source of capital.

As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $242.0 million of consolidated cash on hand, inclusive of approximately $32.9 million of marketable securities. We expect to generate positive cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. We may seek to access private and public debt and equity capital when the opportunity presents itself, although there is no guarantee that this capital will be made available to us at efficient levels or at all. Management believes that these sources of liquidity, if we are able to access them, along with potential refinancing opportunities for secured debt, will allow us to satisfy our debt obligations, as described above, upon maturity, if not before.
We also have investments in several real estate joint ventures with various partners who we consider to be financially stable and who have the ability to fund a capital call when needed. Most of our joint ventures are financed with non-recourse debt. We believe that property level cash flows along with unfunded committed indebtedness and proceeds from the refinancing of outstanding secured indebtedness will be sufficient to fund the capital needs of our joint venture properties.
Cash Flows
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on our consolidated statements of cash flows in “Item 1. Financial Statements” and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.
Cash and cash equivalents were $209.1 million and $162.4 million at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a decrease of $46.7 million. The decrease was a result of the following changes in cash flows (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2013 | | 2012 | | Increase (Decrease) |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 310,454 |
| | $ | 270,194 |
| | $ | 40,260 |
|
Net cash used in investing activities | (242,465 | ) | | (823,404 | ) | | 580,939 |
|
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | (48,875 | ) | | 577,381 |
| | (626,256 | ) |
Our principal source of operating cash flow is related to the leasing and operating of the properties in our portfolio. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, service debt and fund quarterly dividend and distribution payment requirements. At September 30, 2013, our portfolio was 91.9% occupied. Our debt and preferred equity and joint venture investments also provide a steady stream of operating cash flow to us.
Cash is used in investing activities to fund acquisitions, redevelopment projects and recurring and nonrecurring capital expenditures. We selectively invest in new projects that enable us to take advantage of our development, leasing, financing and property management skills and invest in existing buildings that meet our investment criteria. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we used cash primarily for the following investing activities (in thousands):
|
| | | |
Acquisitions of real estate | $ | 347,133 |
|
Capital expenditures and capitalized interest | (1,424 | ) |
Escrow cash-capital improvements/acquisition deposits | (177,990 | ) |
Joint venture investments | 39,394 |
|
Distributions from joint ventures | (28,715 | ) |
Proceeds from sales of real estate/partial interest in property | 148,334 |
|
Debt and preferred equity and other investments | 254,207 |
|
Decrease in net cash used in investing activities | $ | 580,939 |
|
Funds spent on capital expenditures, which comprise building and tenant improvements, increased from $107.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $108.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increased capital expenditures relate primarily to increased costs incurred in connection with the redevelopment of properties and new leasing activity.
We generally fund our investment activity through property-level financing, our 2012 credit facility, senior unsecured notes, convertible or exchangeable securities, construction loans, sales of real estate and from time to time, the Company issues common or preferred stock, or the Operating Partnership may issue common or preferred units of limited partnership interest. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we used cash for the following financing activities (in thousands):
|
| | | |
Proceeds from our debt obligations | $ | (102,506 | ) |
Repayments under our debt obligations | (55,860 | ) |
Noncontrolling interests, contributions in excess of distributions | (11,897 | ) |

Capitalization
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had 92,214,396 shares of common stock, 2,792,050 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership held by persons other than the Company and 9,200,000 shares of the
Company's 6.50% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, or the Series I Preferred Stock, outstanding. In addition, the Company's Preferred Units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership having aggregate liquidation preferences of $49.6 million were held by persons other than the Company.
In June 2013, the Company redeemed the remaining 7,700,000 outstanding shares, or $200.0 million, of its 7.625% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, or the Series C Preferred Stock, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus $0.3495 in accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Preferred Stock through June 21, 2013. We recognized approximately $12.2 million of costs to redeem the remaining Series C Preferred Stock. In September 2012, the Company had redeemed 4,000,000 shares, $100.0 million, of our 11,700,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus $0.3707 in accumulated and unpaid dividends on such preferred stock through September 24, 2012. We recognized $6.3 million of costs to partially redeem the Series C Preferred Stock. Simultaneously with each redemption, the Operating Partnership redeemed an equal number of its Series C Preferred Units from the Company at a redemption price paid by the Company to the Series C preferred stockholders.
At-The-Market Offering Program
In July 2011, the Company, along with the Operating Partnership, entered into an “at-the-market” equity offering program, or ATM Program, to sell an aggregate of $250.0 million of our common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold approximately 462,276 shares of our common stock through the ATM Program for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $42.5 million ($41.8 million of net proceeds after related expenses). The net proceeds from these offerings were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 462,276 common units of limited partnership interest and were used to repay debt, fund new investments and for other corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2013, we had $2.8 million available to issue shares under the ATM Program.
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
In March 2012, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC for our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan, or DRIP, which automatically became effective upon filing. The Company registered 3,500,000 shares of its common stock under the DRIP. The DRIP commenced on September 24, 2001.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company issued approximately 651 shares and 1.3 million shares of its common stock and received approximately $57,000 and $99.5 million of net proceeds, respectively, from dividend reinvestments and/or stock purchases under the DRIP. DRIP shares may be issued at a discount to the market price.
Third Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
The Third Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2005 Plan, was approved by the Company's board of directors in April 2013 and its stockholders in June 2013 at the Company's annual meeting of the stockholders. Subject to adjustments upon certain corporate transactions or events, up to a maximum of 17,130,000 fungible units may be granted as options, restricted stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards under the 2005 Plan. As of September 30, 2013, 5.8 million fungible units were available for issuance under the 2005 Plan after reserving for shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, phantom stock units granted pursuant to our Non-Employee Directors’ Deferral Program and LTIP Units, including, among others, outstanding LTIP Units issued under our 2011 Long-Term Outperformance Plan, which remain subject to performance-based vesting.
2010 Notional Unit Long-Term Compensation Plan
In December 2009, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2010 Notional Unit Long-Term Compensation Program, or the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan. The 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan is a long-term incentive compensation plan pursuant to which award recipients could earn, in the aggregate, from approximately $15 million up to approximately $75 million of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership based on our stock price appreciation over three years beginning on December 1, 2009; provided that, if maximum performance had been achieved, approximately $25 million of awards could be earned at any time after the beginning of the second year and an additional approximately $25 million of awards could be earned at any time after the beginning of the third year. In order to achieve maximum performance under the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan, our aggregate stock price appreciation during the performance period had to equal or exceed 50%. The compensation committee determined that the maximum performance had been achieved at or shortly after the beginning of each of the second and third years of the performance period and for the full performance period and, accordingly, 366,815 LTIP Units, 385,583 LTIP Units and 327,416 LTIP Units were earned under the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan in December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Substantially in accordance with the original terms of the program, 50% of these LTIP Units vested on December 17, 2012 (accelerated from the original January 1, 2013 vesting date) and the remainder is scheduled to vest ratably on January 1, 2014 and 2015 based on continued employment. In accordance with the terms of the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan, distributions were not paid on any LTIP Units until they were earned, at which time we paid all distributions that would have been paid on the earned LTIP Units since the beginning of the performance period.
The cost of the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan (approximately $31.7 million, subject to forfeitures) will be amortized into earnings through the final vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million, $3.6 million, $3.3 million and $7.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan.
2011 Outperformance Plan
In August 2011, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2011 Outperformance Plan, or the 2011 Outperformance Plan. Participants in the 2011 Outperformance Plan may earn, in the aggregate, up to $85 million of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership based on our total return to stockholders for the three-year period beginning September 1, 2011. Under the 2011 Outperformance Plan, participants will be entitled to share in a “performance pool” comprised of LTIP Units with a value equal to 10% of the amount, if any, by which our total return to stockholders during the three-year period exceeds a cumulative total return to stockholders of 25%, subject to the maximum of $85 million of LTIP Units; provided that if maximum performance has been achieved, approximately one-third of each award may be earned at any time after the beginning of the second year and an additional approximately one-third of each award may be earned at any time after the beginning of the third year. LTIP Units earned under the 2011 Outperformance Plan will be subject to continued vesting requirements, with 50% of any awards earned vesting on August 31, 2014 and the remaining 50% vesting on August 31, 2015, subject to continued employment with us through such dates. Participants will not be entitled to distributions with respect to LTIP Units granted under the 2011 Outperformance Plan unless and until they are earned. If LTIP Units are earned, each participant will also be entitled to the distributions that would have been paid had the number of earned LTIP Units been issued at the beginning of the performance period, with such distributions being paid in the form of additional LTIP Units. Thereafter, distributions will be paid currently with respect to all earned LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested.
The cost of the 2011 Outperformance Plan (approximately $26.3 million, subject to forfeitures) will be amortized into earnings through the final vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of approximately $1.7 million, $6.2 million, $1.4 million and $4.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the 2011 Outperformance Plan.
Deferred Stock Compensation Plan for Directors
Under our Independent Director’s Deferral Program, which commenced July 2004, the Company's non-employee directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer fee, chairman fees and meeting fees. Unless otherwise elected by a participant, fees deferred under the program shall be credited in the form of phantom stock units. The phantom stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon such directors’ termination of service from the board of directors or a change in control by us, as defined by the program. Phantom stock units are credited to each non-employee director quarterly using the closing price of our common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating non-employee director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of phantom stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 6,692 phantom stock units were earned. As of September 30, 2013, there were approximately 74,805 phantom stock units outstanding.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On September 18, 2007, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, to encourage our employees to increase their efforts to make our business more successful by providing equity-based incentives to eligible employees. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code, and has been adopted by the board to enable our eligible employees to purchase our shares of common stock through payroll deductions. The ESPP became effective on January 1, 2008 with a maximum of 500,000 shares of the common stock available for issuance, subject to adjustment upon a merger, reorganization, stock split or other similar corporate change. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC with respect to the ESPP. The common stock is offered for purchase through a series of successive offering periods. Each offering period will be three months in duration and will begin on the first day of each calendar quarter, with the first offering period having commenced on January 1, 2008. The ESPP provides for eligible employees to purchase the common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period or (2) the market value of the common stock on the last day of the offering period. The ESPP was approved by the Company's stockholders at the Company's 2008 annual meeting of stockholders. As of September 30, 2013, approximately 72,026 shares of our common stock had been issued under the ESPP.
Market Capitalization
At September 30, 2013, borrowings under our mortgages and other loans payable, our 2012 credit facility, senior unsecured notes and Trust preferred securities and our share of joint venture debt represented 50.8% of our combined market capitalization of approximately $17.7 billion (based on a common stock price of $88.84 per share, the closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2013). Market capitalization includes our consolidated debt, common and preferred stock and the conversion of all units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, and our share of joint venture debt.

The variable rate debt shown above generally bears interest at an interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR (0.18% and 0.21% at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively). Our consolidated debt at September 30, 2013 had a weighted average term to maturity of approximately 6.05 years.
Certain of our debt and preferred equity investments, with a face amount of approximately $612.2 million at September 30, 2013, are variable rate investments which mitigate our exposure to interest rate changes on our unhedged variable rate debt at September 30, 2013.
Mortgage Financing
As of September 30, 2013, our total mortgage debt (excluding our share of joint venture debt of approximately $2.2 billion) consisted of approximately $4.1 billion of fixed rate debt, including hedged variable rate debt, with an effective weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.3% and approximately $0.5 billion of variable rate debt with an effective weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.7%.
Corporate Indebtedness
2012 Credit Facility
In November 2012, we entered into a $1.6 billion credit facility, or the 2012 credit facility, which refinanced, extended and upsized the previous 2011 revolving credit facility. The 2012 credit facility consists of a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility, or the revolving credit facility, and a $400.0 million term loan, or the term loan facility. The revolving credit facility matures in March 2017 and includes two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee of 10 basis points for each such extension. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, without the consent of existing lenders, to increase the capacity under the revolving credit facility to $1.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity date for the revolving credit facility, by obtaining additional commitments from our current lenders and other financial institutions. The term loan facility matures on March 30, 2018.
The 2012 credit facility bears interest at a spread over LIBOR ranging from (i) 100 basis points to 175 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility and (ii) 115 basis points to 200 basis points for loans under the term loan facility, in each case based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of ROP. At September 30, 2013, the applicable spread was 145 basis points for revolving credit facility and 165 basis points for the term loan facility. At September 30, 2013, the effective interest rate was 1.64% for revolving credit facility and 2.00% for the term loan facility. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 15 to 35 basis point fee on the unused balance of the commitments under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2013, the facility fee was 30 basis points. At September 30, 2013, we had approximately $79.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, $340.0 million borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $400.0 million outstanding under the term loan facility, with undrawn capacity of $0.9 billion under the 2012 credit facility.
The Company, ROP and the Operating Partnership are all borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2012 credit facility. No other subsidiary of ours is an obligor under the 2012 credit facility.
The 2012 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).
Master Repurchase Agreement
The Master Repurchase Agreement, or MRA, has a maximum facility capacity of $175.0 million, under which we agreed to sell certain debt investments in exchange for cash with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same debt investments at a certain date or on demand. In September 2013, the maturity of this MRA was extended to November 2013 subject to a ten month extension option. This MRA bears interest based on 1-month LIBOR plus 300 basis points through September 2013 and a floating rate of interest of 350 basis points over 1-month LIBOR through the extended maturity date. At September 30, 2013, we had approximately $132.0 million outstanding under this facility, which is included in mortgages and other loans payable.

(1) | Interest on the senior unsecured notes is payable semi-annually with principal and unpaid interest due on the scheduled maturity dates. |
| |
(3) | On December 27, 2012, we repurchased $42.4 million aggregate principal amount of these notes, consisting of $22.7 million of the 5.875% Notes and $19.7 million of the 6.0% Notes, for a total consideration of $46.4 million and realized a net loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.8 million. |
| |
(4) | In October 2010, the Operating Partnership issued $345.0 million of these exchangeable notes. Interest on these notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15. The notes had an initial exchange rate representing an exchange price that was set at a 30.0% premium to the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on October 6, 2010, or $85.81. The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The current exchange rate is 11.7153 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of these notes. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and are exchangeable upon the occurrence of specified events and during the period beginning on the twenty-second scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date and ending on the second business day prior to the maturity date, into cash or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, if any, at our option. The notes are guaranteed by ROP. On the issuance date, $78.3 million of the debt balance was recorded in equity. As of September 30, 2013, approximately $49.8 million remained to be amortized into the debt balance. |
| |
(5) | Issued by the Company, the Operating Partnership and ROP, as co-obligors. |
| |
(6) | Exchangeable senior debentures which are currently callable at par. In addition, the debentures can be put to ROP, at the option of the holder at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, on June 15, 2015 and 2020 and upon the occurrence of certain change of control transactions. As a result of the acquisition of all outstanding shares of common stock of Reckson, or the Reckson Merger, the adjusted exchange rate for the debentures is 7.7461 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 of principal amount of debentures and the adjusted reference dividend for the debentures is $1.3491. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we repurchased $650,000 of these bonds at par. |
| |
(7) | In March 2007, the Operating Partnership issued $750.0 million of these exchangeable notes. Interest on these notes is payable semi-annually on March 30 and September 30. The notes have an initial exchange rate representing an exchange price that was set at a 25.0% premium to the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on March 20, 2007, or $173.30. The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and are exchangeable upon the occurrence of specified events and during the period beginning on the twenty-second scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date and ending on the second business day prior to the maturity date, into cash or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, if any, at our option. The notes are currently redeemable at the Operating Partnership’s option. The Operating Partnership may be required to repurchase the notes on March 30, 2017 and 2022, and upon the occurrence of certain designated events. On March 30, 2012, we repurchased $102.2 million of aggregate principal amount of the exchangeable notes pursuant to a mandatory |
offer to repurchase the notes. On the issuance date, $66.6 million was recorded in equity and was fully amortized into the debt balance as of March 31, 2012. On January 2, 2013, we repurchased $4.9 million of aggregate principal amount of exchangeable notes at 99.6% of the principal amount.
Restrictive Covenants
The terms of the 2012 credit facility and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends (as discussed below), make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum amount of tangible net worth, a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that we will not during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, except to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Junior Subordinate Deferrable Interest Debentures
In June 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million of Trust Preferred Securities, which are reflected on the balance sheet as Junior Subordinate Deferrable Interest Debentures. The proceeds were used to repay our revolving credit facility. The $100.0 million of junior subordinate deferrable interest debentures have a 30-year term ending July 2035. They bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.61% for the first 10 years ending July 2015. Thereafter, the rate will float at three month LIBOR plus 1.25%. The securities are redeemable at par.
Market Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable rate debt. Our exposure to interest rate changes are managed through either the use of interest rate derivative instruments and/or through our variable rate debt investments. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates along the entire interest rate curve for 2013 would increase our annual interest cost net of interest income from variable rate debt investments by approximately $5.8 million and would increase our share of joint venture annual interest cost by approximately $8.6 million, respectively.
We recognize most derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is considered a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
Approximately $5.6 billion of our long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates, and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. The interest rate on our variable rate debt and joint venture debt as of September 30, 2013 was based on a spread of LIBOR plus 90 basis points to LIBOR plus 950 basis points.
Contractual Obligations
Refer to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our contractual obligations. There have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, to these contractual obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have a number of off-balance sheet investments, including joint ventures and debt and preferred equity investments. These investments all have varying ownership structures. Substantially all of our joint venture arrangements are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control over the operating and financial decisions of these joint venture arrangements. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Note 5, “Debt and Preferred Equity Investments” and Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Capital Expenditures
We estimate that for the three months ending December 31, 2013, we expect to incur approximately $91.1 million of capital expenditures, which are net of loan reserves, (including tenant improvements and leasing commissions) on existing consolidated properties and our share of capital expenditures at our joint venture properties, net of loan reserves, will be approximately $31.4 million. We expect to fund these capital expenditures with operating cash flow, additional property level mortgage financings and cash on hand. Future property acquisitions may require substantial capital investments for refurbishment and leasing costs. We expect that these financing requirements will be met in a similar fashion. We believe that we will have sufficient resources to satisfy our capital needs during the next 12-month period. Thereafter, we expect our capital needs will be met through a combination of cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, borrowings, potential asset sales or additional equity or debt issuances.
Dividends
We expect to pay dividends to our stockholders based on the distributions we receive from the Operating Partnership primarily from property revenues net of operating expenses or, if necessary, from working capital or borrowings.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must pay annual dividends to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined before taking into consideration the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains. We intend to continue to pay regular quarterly dividends to our stockholders. Based on our current annual dividend rate of $2.00 per share, we would pay approximately $184.5 million in dividends to our common stockholders on an annual basis. Before we pay any dividend, whether for Federal income tax purposes or otherwise, which would only be paid out of available cash to the extent permitted under our 2012 credit facility and senior unsecured notes, we must first meet both our operating requirements and scheduled debt service on our mortgages and loans payable.
Related Party Transactions
Cleaning/ Security/ Messenger and Restoration Services
Through Alliance Building Services, or Alliance, First Quality Maintenance, L.P., or First Quality, provides cleaning, extermination and related services, Classic Security LLC provides security services, Bright Star Couriers LLC provides messenger services and Onyx Restoration Works provides restoration services with respect to certain properties owned by us. Alliance is partially owned by Gary Green, a son of Stephen L. Green, the chairman of our board of directors. In addition, First Quality has the non-exclusive opportunity to provide cleaning and related services to individual tenants at our properties on a basis separately negotiated with any tenant seeking such additional services. The Service Corporation has entered into an arrangement with Alliance whereby it will receive a profit participation above a certain threshold for services provided by Alliance to certain tenants at certain buildings above the base services specified in their lease agreements. Alliance paid the Service Corporation approximately $0.8 million, $2.7 million, $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We paid Alliance approximately $4.8 million, $13.2 million, $4.7 million and $12.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for these services (excluding services provided directly to tenants).
Marketing Services
A-List Marketing, LLC, or A-List, provides marketing services to us. Ms. Deena Wolff, a sister of Mr. Marc Holliday, is the owner of A-List. The aggregate amount of fees we paid to A-List for these marketing services was approximately $50,700, $158,000, $2,400 and $58,300 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Leases
Nancy Peck and Company leases 1,003 square feet of space at 420 Lexington Avenue under a lease that ends in August 2015. Nancy Peck and Company is owned by Nancy Peck, the wife of Stephen L. Green. The rent due pursuant to the lease was $35,516 per annum for year one increasing to $40,000 in year seven.
Management Fees
S.L. Green Management Corp., a consolidated entity, receives property management fees from an entity in which Stephen L. Green owns an interest. The aggregate amount of fees paid to S.L. Green Management Corp. from such entity was
approximately $105,000, $319,000, $93,000 and $292,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Insurance
We maintain “all-risk” property and rental value coverage (including coverage regarding the perils of flood, earthquake and terrorism) within two property insurance portfolios and liability insurance. As of September 30, 2013, the first property portfolio maintains a blanket limit of $950.0 million per occurrence, including terrorism, for the majority of the New York City properties in our portfolio. The second portfolio maintains a limit of $700.0 million per occurrence, including terrorism, for some New York City properties and the majority of the Suburban properties. Both policies expire on December 31, 2013. Each policy includes $100.0 million of flood coverage, with a lower sublimit for locations in high hazard flood zones. We maintain liability policies which cover all our properties and provide limits of $201.0 million per occurrence and in the aggregate per location. The liability policies expire on October 31, 2014. Additional coverage may be purchased on a stand-alone basis for certain assets.
In October 2006, we formed a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, Belmont Insurance Company, or Belmont, to act as a captive insurance company and be one of the elements of our overall insurance program. Belmont is a subsidiary of ours. Belmont was formed in an effort to, among other reasons, stabilize to some extent the fluctuations of insurance market conditions. Belmont is licensed in New York to write Terrorism, NBCR (nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological), General Liability, Environmental Liability, Flood and D&O coverage.
| |
• | Terrorism: Belmont acts as a direct property insurer with respect to a portion of our terrorism coverage for the New York City properties. Belmont has a terrorism coverage limit of $850.0 million in a layer in excess of $100.0 million. In addition, Belmont purchased reinsurance to reinsure the retained insurable risk not otherwise covered under Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization and Extension Act of 2007, or TRIPRA, as detailed below. |
| |
• | NBCR: Belmont has acted as a direct insurer of NBCR coverage and since December 31, 2011, has provided coverage up to $750.0 million on our entire property portfolio for certified acts of terrorism above a program trigger of $100.0 million. Belmont is responsible for a small deductible and 15% of a loss, with the remaining 85% covered by the Federal government. |
| |
• | General Liability: For the period commencing October 31, 2010, Belmont insures a retention on the general liability insurance of $150,000 per occurrence and a $2.1 million annual aggregate stop loss limit. We have secured excess insurance to protect against catastrophic liability losses above the $150,000 retention. Prior policy years carried a higher per occurrence deductible and/or higher aggregate stop loss. Belmont has retained a third-party administrator to manage all claims within the retention and we anticipate that direct management of liability claims will improve loss experience and ultimately lower the cost of liability insurance in future years. In addition, we have an umbrella liability policy of $200.0 million per occurrence and in the aggregate on a per location basis. |
| |
• | Environmental Liability: Belmont insures a deductible of $975,000 per occurrence in excess of $25,000 on a $25.0 million per occurrence and $30.0 million aggregate environmental liability policy covering our entire portfolio. |
| |
• | Flood: For the period commencing December 31, 2012, Belmont insures a portion of the high hazard flood deductible on the New York City portfolio. Belmont insurance reduces the average deductible from $3.0 million to $1.0 million. |
| |
• | Employment Practices Liability: As of September 16, 2013, Belmont insures a retention of $150,000 per occurrence in excess of $100,000 on a $10 million per occurrence and $10 million annual aggregate employment practices liability policy. |
| |
• | Errors and Omissions (Professional Liability): As of October 19, 2013, Belmont insures a retention of $225,000 per occurrence in excess of $25,000 on a $10.0 million per occurrence and $10.0 million annual aggregate employment practices liability policy. |
As long as we own Belmont, we are responsible for its liquidity and capital resources, and the accounts of Belmont are part of our consolidated financial statements. If we experience a loss and Belmont is required to pay under its insurance policy, we would ultimately record the loss to the extent of Belmont’s required payment. Therefore, insurance coverage provided by Belmont should not be considered as the equivalent of third-party insurance, but rather as a modified form of self-insurance.
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, or TRIA, which was enacted in November 2002, was renewed December 31, 2005 and again on December 31, 2007. Congress extended TRIA, now called TRIPRA (Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization and
Extension Act of 2007) until December 31, 2014. The law extends the federal Terrorism Insurance Program that requires insurance companies to offer terrorism coverage and provides for compensation for insured losses resulting from acts of certified terrorism, subject to the current program trigger of $100.0 million. There is no assurance that TRIPRA will be extended. Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties (which are generally non-recourse to us), mezzanine loans, ground leases, our 2012 credit facility, senior unsecured notes and other corporate obligations, contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we currently maintain sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy these obligations, there is no assurance that in the future we will be able to procure coverage at a reasonable cost. In such instances, there can be no assurance that the lenders or ground lessors under these instruments will not take the position that a total or partial exclusion from “all-risk” insurance coverage for losses due to terrorist acts is a breach of these debt and ground lease instruments allowing the lenders or ground lessors to declare an event of default and accelerate repayment of debt or recapture of ground lease positions. In addition, if lenders prevail in asserting that we are required to maintain full coverage for these risks, it could result in substantially higher insurance premiums.
We monitor all properties that are subject to triple net leases to ensure that tenants are providing adequate coverage. Certain joint ventures may be covered under policies separate from our policies, at coverage limits, which we deem to be adequate. We continually monitor these policies. Although we consider our insurance coverage to be appropriate, in the event of a major catastrophe, we may not have sufficient coverage to replace certain properties.
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in April 2002, and as subsequently amended, defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring, sales of properties and real estate related impairment charges, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, particularly those that own and operate commercial office properties.
We also use FFO as one of several criteria to determine performance-based bonuses for members of our senior management. FFO is 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 excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.
FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (amounts in thousands):

Inflation
Substantially all of the office leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations as well as operating expense recoveries based on increases in the Consumer Price Index or other measures such as porters’ wage. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above.

ITEM 4. | Controls and Procedures |
SL GREEN REALTY CORP.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's periodic reports. Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Company does not control these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those the Company maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
SL GREEN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Operating Partnership maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Operating Partnership’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Operating Partnership's general partner, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Operating Partnership to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Operating Partnership's periodic reports. Also, the Operating Partnership has investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Operating Partnership does not control these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those the Operating Partnership maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Operating Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Operating Partnership's general partner, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Operating Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Operating Partnership's general partner concluded that the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of
information relating to the Operating Partnership that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to material affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
As of September 30, 2013, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership were involved in any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, any material litigation threatened against us or our portfolio other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business or litigation that is adequately covered by insurance.
