Related Party Transactions

 

We provide property management, leasing, construction and other tenant related services to unconsolidated companies in which we have equity interests. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, we received from these unconsolidated companies management fees of $7.1 million, $4.4 million and $4.8 million, leasing fees of $4.2 million, $2.9 million and $4.3 million and construction and development fees of $13.1 million, $19.1 million and $2.0 million. We recorded these fees based on contractual terms that approximate market rates for these types of services, and we have eliminated our ownership percentages of these fees in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

We have guaranteed the repayment of $79.3 million of economic development bonds issued by various municipalities in connection with certain commercial developments. We will be required to make payments under our guarantees to the extent that incremental taxes from specified developments are not sufficient to pay the bond debt service. Management does not believe that it is probable that we will be required to make any significant payments in satisfaction of these guarantees.

 

We also have guaranteed the repayment of secured and unsecured loans of seven of our unconsolidated subsidiaries. At December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance on these loans was approximately $219.8 million. Additionally, we guaranteed $29.0 million of secured indebtedness related to a property sold to a third party in 2006. Management believes that the value of the real estate exceeds the loan balance and that we will not be required to satisfy these guarantees.

 

We have entered into agreements, subject to the completion of due diligence requirements, resolution of certain contingencies and completion of customary closing conditions, for the future acquisitions of land and buildings totaling $158.9 million. In most cases we may withdraw from land purchase contracts with the seller’s only recourse being earnest money deposits already made.

 

In October 2000, we sold or contributed industrial properties and undeveloped land with a fair value of $487.0 million to a joint venture (Dugan Realty LLC) in which we have a 50% interest and recognized a net gain of $35.2 million. In connection with this transaction, the joint venture partners were given an option to put up to a $50.0 million interest in the joint venture to us in exchange for our common stock or cash (at our option), subject to certain timing and other restrictions. As a result of this put option, we deferred $10.2 million of gain on sale of depreciated property and recorded a $50.0 million liability.

 

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies

We have guaranteed the repayment of $79.6 million of economic development bonds issued by various municipalities in connection with certain commercial developments. We will be required to make payments under our guarantees to the extent that incremental taxes from specified developments are not sufficient to pay the bond debt service. Management does not believe that it is probable that we will be required to make any significant payments in satisfaction of these guarantees.

We also have guaranteed the repayment of secured and unsecured loans of four of our unconsolidated subsidiaries. At December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on these loans was approximately $129.0 million. Management believes that the value of the real estate exceeds the loan balance and that we will not be required to satisfy these guarantees.

We renewed all of our major insurance policies in 2006. These policies include coverage for acts of terrorism for our properties. We believe that this insurance provides adequate coverage against normal insurance risks and that any loss experienced would not have a significant impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In October 2000, we sold or contributed industrial properties and undeveloped land with a fair value of $487 million to a joint venture (Dugan Realty LLC) in which we have a 50% interest and recognized a net gain of $35.2 million. This transaction expanded an existing joint venture with an institutional real estate investor. As a result of the total transactions, we received $363.9 million of proceeds. The joint venture partially financed this transaction with $350 million of secured mortgage debt, the repayment of which we directly or indirectly guaranteed. The guarantee associated with $260 million of such debt expired in December 2003 without us being required to satisfy the guarantee. The remaining $90 million of such debt is still guaranteed by us. In connection with this transaction, the joint venture partners were given an option to put up to a $50 million interest in the joint venture to us in exchange for our common stock or cash (at our option), subject to certain timing and other restrictions. As a result of this put option, we deferred $10.2 million of gain on sale of depreciated property and recorded a $50 million liability.

 

We have guaranteed the repayment of $12.3 million of economic development bonds issued by various municipalities in connection with certain commercial developments. We will be required to make payments under our guarantees to the extent that incremental taxes from specified developments are not sufficient to pay the bond debt service. Management does not believe that it is probable that we will be required to make any significant payments in satisfaction of these guarantees.

 

We also have guaranteed the repayment of a $2 million mortgage loan encumbering the real estate of one of our unconsolidated joint ventures. At December 31, 2005, the outstanding balance on this loan was approximately $1.2 million. Management believes that the value of the real estate exceeds the loan balance and that we will not be required to satisfy this guarantee.

 

We evaluated all applicable guarantees under FASB Interpretation 45 (“FIN 45”) in order to determine whether there is a need to recognize a liability for the obligations under the guarantees. Based upon our review, no liability was recorded at December 31, 2005.

 

We have entered into agreements, subject to the completion of due diligence requirements, resolution of certain contingencies and completion of customary closing conditions, for the future acquisition of land totaling $65.0 million. We also have entered into an agreement to acquire an 18 building portfolio for approximately $194.1 million, which is expected to close in 2006.

 

We renewed all of our major insurance policies in 2005. These policies include coverage for acts of terrorism for our properties. We believe that this insurance provides adequate coverage against normal insurance risks and that any loss experienced would not have a significant impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Related Party Transactions

 

We provide property management, leasing, construction and other tenant related services to properties in which former executive officers and current directors have ownership interests. We received fees totaling approximately $693,000, $1.2 million, and $1.4 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for services provided to these properties. The fees we charged for such services are equivalent to those charged to unrelated third-party owners for similar services.  We had an option to acquire the executive officers’ interests in these properties. Two of these properties, the Bank One Towers office buildings in Cincinnati, Ohio, were acquired in August 2003 at a price of $45.5 million. The terms of this acquisition were reviewed and approved by the independent members of our Board of Directors. The options on the remaining properties expired in October 2003, as the independent members of our Board of Directors determined that it was not in our best interest to exercise the options.

 

We provide property management, leasing, construction and other tenant related services to unconsolidated companies in which we have an equity interest. For each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we received management fees of $4.9 million from these unconsolidated companies. In addition, for each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, we received from these entities leasing fees of $2.6 million, $2.3 million and $2.5 million and construction and development fees of $1.5 million, $1.4 million and $4.5 million. These fees were charged at market rates and we eliminated our ownership percentage of these fees in the consolidated financial statements.

 

In 2002, we received lease termination fees totaling $7.7 million from a tenant that is a subsidiary of Progress Energy, Inc. At that time, William Cavanaugh III was President and Chief Executive Officer of Progress Energy, Inc. and a member of our Board of Directors. Our independent directors approved the transaction and management believes that the amount received approximates a value that would have been charged to tenants with similar lease terms and commitments.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In 1998 and 1999, certain members of management and the Board of Directors purchased $69 million of common stock in connection with an Executive and Senior Officer Stock Purchase Plan. The purchases were financed by five-year personal loans at market interest rates from financial institutions. As of

December 31, 2004, the outstanding balance on these loans was approximately $1.6 million as some participants have extended their involvement in the program beyond the original five years. These loans were secured by common shares with a fair market value of approximately $2.5 million purchased through this program and owned by the remaining plan participants at December 31, 2004. As a condition of the financing agreement with the financial institution, we guaranteed repayment of principal, interest and other obligations for each participant, but are fully indemnified by the participants. In the opinion of management, it is not probable that we will be required to satisfy these guarantees.

 

In October 2000, we sold or contributed industrial properties and undeveloped land with a fair value of $487 million to a joint venture (Dugan Realty LLC) in which we have a 50% interest and recognized a net gain of $35.2 million. This transaction expanded an existing joint venture with an institutional real estate investor. As a result of the total transactions, we received $363.9 million of proceeds. The joint venture partially financed this transaction with $350 million of secured mortgage debt, the repayment of which we directly or indirectly guaranteed. The guarantee associated with $260 million of such debt expired in December 2003 without us being required to satisfy the guarantee. The remaining $90 million of such debt is still guaranteed by us. In connection with this transaction, the joint venture partners were given an option to put up to a $50 million interest in the joint venture to us in exchange for our common stock or cash (at our option), subject to certain timing and other restrictions. As a result of this put option, we deferred $10.2 million of gain on sale of depreciated property and recorded a $50 million liability.

 

We have guaranteed the repayment of $12.3 million of economic development bonds issued by various municipalities in connection with certain commercial developments. We will be required to make payments under our guarantees to the extent that incremental taxes from specified developments are not sufficient to pay the bond debt service. Management does not believe that it is probable that we will be required to make any significant payments in satisfaction of these guarantees.

 

We have also guaranteed the repayment of a $2 million mortgage loan encumbering the real estate of one of our unconsolidated joint ventures. Management believes that the value of the real estate exceeds the loan balance and that we will not be required to satisfy this guarantee.

 

We evaluated our guarantees under FASB Interpretation 45 (“FIN 45”) in order to determine the amount of potential liability we may incur resulting from the guarantees. For this evaluation we used discounted cash flow projections for expected incremental financing to be generated from anticipated development. Based upon these projections, no liability was recorded at December 31, 2004.

 

We have entered into agreements, subject to the completion of due diligence requirements, resolution of certain contingencies and completion of customary closing conditions, for the future acquisition of land totaling $43.8 million. We have also entered into an agreement to acquire a single building for $8.0 million, which is expected to close in 2005.

 

We renewed all of our major insurance policies in 2004. These policies include coverage for acts of terrorism for our properties. We believe that this insurance provides adequate coverage against normal insurance risks and that any loss experienced would not have a significant impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

 

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
