Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1.
Background

As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to the “Company,” “Alexandria,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE), a self-administered and self-managed investment-grade real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is the largest and leading REIT focused principally on owning, operating, developing, redeveloping, and acquiring high-quality, sustainable real estate for the broad and diverse life science industry.  Alexandria’s client tenants span the life science industry, including renowned academic and medical institutions, multinational pharmaceutical companies, public and private biotechnology entities, United States (“U.S.”) government research agencies, medical device companies, industrial biotech companies, venture capital firms, and life science product and service companies.  For additional information on Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., please visit www.are.com.

2.
Basis of presentation

We have prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  In our opinion, the interim consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the interim consolidated financial statements.  The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 .  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 .

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

We hold interests, together with certain third parties, in companies that we consolidate in our financial statements.  We consolidate the companies because we exercise significant control over major decisions by these entities, such as investment activity and changes in financing.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity; the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Basis of presentation (continued)

Investments in real estate, net, and discontinued operations

We recognize assets acquired (including the intangible value of above or below market leases, acquired in-place leases, client tenant relationships, and other intangible assets or liabilities), liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquired entity at their fair value as of the acquisition date.  If there is a bargain fixed rate renewal option for the period beyond the non-cancelable lease term, we evaluate factors such as the business conditions in the industry in which the lessee operates, the economic conditions in the area in which the property is located, and the ability of the lessee to sublease the property during the renewal term, in order to determine the likelihood that the lessee will renew.  When we determine there is reasonable assurance that such bargain purchase option will be exercised, we consider its impact in determining the intangible value of such lease and its related amortization period.  The value of tangible assets acquired is based upon our estimation of value on an “as if vacant” basis.  The value of acquired in-place leases includes the estimated carrying costs during the hypothetical lease-up period and other costs that would have been incurred in the execution of similar leases, considering market conditions at the acquisition date of the acquired in-place lease.  We assess the fair value of tangible and intangible assets based on numerous factors, including 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.  We also recognize the fair values of assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in acquisitions of less than a 100% interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control of the acquired entity.  Acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs are expensed as incurred.

The values allocated to land improvements, tenant improvements, equipment, buildings, and building improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis using an estimated life of 20 years for land improvements, the respective lease term for tenant improvements, the estimated useful life for equipment, and the shorter of the term of the respective ground lease and up to 40 years for buildings and building improvements.  The values of acquired above and below market leases are amortized over the lives of the related leases and recognized as either an increase (for below market leases) or a decrease (for above market leases) to rental income.  The values of acquired in-place leases are classified in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases.

We are required to capitalize project costs, including predevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the acquisition, development, redevelopment, or construction of a project.  Capitalization of development, redevelopment, and construction costs is required while activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use.  Fluctuations in our development, redevelopment, and construction activities could result in significant changes to total expenses and net income.  Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are expensed as incurred.  Should development, redevelopment, or construction activity cease, interest, property taxes, insurance, and certain other costs would no longer be eligible for capitalization and would be expensed as incurred.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

A property is classified as “held for sale” when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property; (2) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (4) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year ; (5) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.  When all of these criteria have been met, the property is classified as “held for sale.” If (1) the operations and cash flows of the property have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations; and (2) we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after the sale, then its operations, including any interest expense directly attributable to it, are classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of income, and amounts for all prior periods presented are reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations.  Depreciation of assets ceases upon designation of a property as “held for sale.”

Long-lived assets to be held and used, including our rental properties, land held for future development, construction in progress, and intangibles, are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist that may indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable.  The carrying amount of a long-lived asset to be held and used is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.  Impairment indicators or triggering events for long-lived assets to be held and used, including our rental properties, land held for future development, and construction in progress, are assessed by project and include significant fluctuations in estimated net operating income, occupancy changes, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction costs, estimated completion dates, rental rates, and other market factors.  We assess the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, construction costs, available market information, current and historical operating results, known trends, current market/economic conditions that may affect the property, and our assumptions about the use of the asset, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration.  Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, a write-down is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value.  If an impairment loss is not required to be recognized, the recognition of depreciation is adjusted prospectively, as necessary, to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate to its estimated disposition value over the remaining period that the real estate is expected to be held and used.  We may adjust depreciation of properties that are expected to be disposed of or redeveloped prior to the end of their useful lives.

We use a “held for sale” impairment model for our properties classified as “held for sale.”  The “held for sale” impairment model is different from the held and used impairment model.  Under the “held for sale” impairment model, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset classified as “held for sale” exceeds its fair value less cost to sell.  Because of these two different models, it is possible for a long-lived asset previously classified as held and used to require the recognition of an impairment charge upon classification as “held for sale.”

Investments

We hold equity investments in certain publicly traded companies and privately held entities primarily involved in the life science industry.  All of our investments in actively traded public companies are considered “available for sale” and are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value.  Fair value has been determined based upon the closing price as of each balance sheet date, with unrealized gains and losses shown as a separate component of comprehensive income.  The classification of each investment is determined at the time each investment is made, and such determination is reevaluated at each balance sheet date.  The cost of each investment sold is determined by the specific identification method, with net realized gains or losses classified in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.  Investments in privately held entities are generally accounted for under the cost method when our interest in the entity is so minor that we have virtually no influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies.  Certain investments in privately held entities are accounted for under the equity method when our interest in the entity is not deemed so minor that we have virtually no influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies.  Under the equity method of accounting, we recognize our investment initially at cost and adjust the carrying amount of the investment to recognize our share of the earnings or losses of the investee subsequent to the date of our investment.  Additionally, we limit our ownership percentage in the voting stock of each individual entity to less than 10% .  As of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , our ownership percentage in the voting stock of each individual entity was less than 10% .

Individual investments are evaluated for impairment when changes in conditions may indicate an impairment exists.  The factors that we consider in making these assessments include market prices, market conditions, available financing, prospects for favorable or unfavorable clinical trial results, new product initiatives, and new collaborative agreements.  If there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that would have an adverse effect on our cost method investments, we do not estimate the investment’s fair value.  For all of our investments, if a decline in the fair value of an investment below the carrying value is determined to be other than temporary, such investment is written down to its estimated fair value with a non-cash charge to current earnings.

Income taxes

We are organized and qualify as a REIT pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Under the Code, a REIT that distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and that meets certain other conditions is not subject to federal income taxes, but could be subject to certain state and local taxes.  We have distributed 100% or more of our taxable income.  Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.  We file tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state, and local jurisdictions, including jurisdictions located in the U.S., Canada, India, China, and other international locations.  Our tax returns are subject to examination in various jurisdictions for the calendar years 2008 through 2012.

We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.  The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the “more likely than not” threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information.  As of June 30, 2013 , there were no unrecognized tax benefits.  We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months .

Interest expense and penalties, if any, would be recognized in the first period during which the interest or penalty would begin accruing, according to the provisions of the relevant tax law at the applicable statutory rate of interest.  We did not incur any material tax-related interest expense or penalties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 .

Interest income

Interest income was approximately $1.0 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.  Interest income was approximately $2.3 million and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. Interest income is classified in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Recognition of rental income and tenant recoveries

Rental income from leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms.  We classify amounts currently recognized as income, and expected to be received in later years, as an asset in deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Amounts received currently, but recognized as income in future years, are classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  We commence recognition of rental income at the date the property is ready for its intended use and the client tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the property.

Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred.

Tenant receivables consist primarily of amounts due for contractual lease payments, reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses, property taxes, and other expenses recoverable from client tenants.  Tenant receivables are expected to be collected within one year .  We maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our client tenants to make payments required under the terms of the lease and for tenant recoveries due.  If a client tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equal to the amount of uncollectible rent and deferred rent receivables arising from the straight-lining of rent.  As of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , we had no allowance for estimated losses.

As of June 30, 2013 , approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring client tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent.  Approximately 95% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that were either fixed or based on a consumer price index or another index.  Additionally, approximately 92% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) provided for the recapture of certain capital expenditures.

In addition to assets included in our gross investment in real estate, we hold options/rights for parcels supporting the future ground-up development of approximately 420,000 RSF in Alexandria Center TM for Life Science - New York City related to an option under our ground lease. Also, our asset base contains additional embedded development opportunities aggregating approximately 715,000 RSF which represents additional development and expansion rights related to existing rental properties.

Land undergoing predevelopment activities

Land undergoing predevelopment activities includes activities prior to commencement of vertical construction of aboveground building improvements and is classified as construction in progress.  We generally will not commence ground-up development of any parcels undergoing predevelopment activities without first securing pre-leasing for such space.  If vertical aboveground construction is not initiated at completion of predevelopment activities, the land parcel will be classified as land held for future development.  Our objective with predevelopment is to reduce the time it takes to deliver projects to prospective client tenants.  The largest project included in land undergoing predevelopment consists of substantially all of our 1.2 million RSF at the Alexandria Center™ at Kendall Square in East Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Investments in real estate (continued)

We are required to capitalize project costs, including interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development or construction of a project during periods when activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are in progress. Predevelopment costs generally include the following activities prior to commencement of vertical construction:

Traditional preconstruction costs including entitlement, design, construction drawings, Building Information Modeling (3-D virtual modeling), budgeting, sustainability and energy optimization reviews, permitting, and planning for all aspects of the project prior to vertical construction of aboveground building improvements including infrastructure, belowground site work, utility connections, land grading, and egress and regress access points.

Site and infrastructure construction costs including belowground site work, utility connections, land grading, drainage, egress and regress access points, foundation, and other costs to prepare the site for vertical construction of aboveground building improvements. For example, site and infrastructure costs for the 1.2 million rentable square feet (“RSF”) related to 50 Binney Street, 100 Binney Street, and 228,000 RSF of residential at the Alexandria Center™ at Kendall Square are classified as preconstruction prior to commencement of vertical construction. Site and infrastructure costs related to 75/125 Binney Street and 225 Binney Street are included in our estimate of cost of completion and initial stabilized yields for each project.

Land held for future development

Land held for future development represents real estate we plan to develop in the future, but on which, as of each period presented, no construction or predevelopment activities were ongoing.  All predevelopment efforts have been advanced to appropriate stages and no further predevelopment activities are ongoing. As a result, interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs are expensed as incurred.  As of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , we held land in North America supporting an aggregate of 3.5 million and 4.7 million RSF of future ground-up development, respectively.  Additionally, as of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , we held land undergoing predevelopment activities in North America totaling 1.9 million and 2.9 million RSF, respectively.

Real estate asset sales

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 , we sold seven properties for aggregate consideration of $128.6 million , at a net loss of $121 thousand , which included an aggregate gain of $52 thousand on the sale of two properties in the Suburban Washington, D.C. market, an aggregate loss of $392 thousand on the sale of three properties in the Greater Boston market, no gain or loss on the sale of a property in the Seattle market, and a gain of $219 thousand on one property sold outside of our core markets. The net loss is a component of income from discontinued operations, net.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold three parcels of land for aggregate consideration of $18.1 million and recognized a gain of $772 thousand , which included a gain of $381 thousand on the sale of two parcels in the San Francisco Bay Area market, and a gain of $391 thousand on the sale of one parcel in the Greater NYC market.

Investments

We hold equity investments in certain publicly traded companies and privately held entities primarily involved in the life science industry.  Investments in “available for sale” securities with gross unrealized losses as of June 30, 2013 , had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.  We have the ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the recovery of our investment.  We believe that these unrealized losses are temporary, and accordingly we have not recognized other-than-temporary impairment related to “available for sale” securities as of June 30, 2013 .  As of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , there were no unrealized losses in our investments in privately held entities.

Secured and unsecured senior debt (continued)

3.90% Unsecured senior notes payable

In June 2013, we completed a $500 million public offering of our unsecured senior notes payable at a stated interest rate of 3.90% (“3.90% Unsecured Senior Notes”).  The unsecured senior notes payable were priced at 99.712% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.94% and are due June 15, 2023 .  The unsecured senior notes payable are unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P., a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.  The unsecured senior notes payable rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness.  However, the unsecured senior notes payable are effectively subordinated to existing and future mortgages and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness) and to all existing and future preferred equity and liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Company’s subsidiaries, other than Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P.  We used the net proceeds of this offering to prepay $150 million of the outstanding principal balance of $750 million on our unsecured senior bank term loan due in 2016 (“2016 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan”), to reduce the outstanding borrowings on our unsecured senior line of credit to zero, and to hold the remaining proceeds in cash and cash equivalents to fund near-term opportunities related to development/redevelopment projects, to fund near-term property acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes. As a result of the $150 million prepayment, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of a portion of unamortized loan fees in June 2013, totaling $560 thousand.

Unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans

The maturity date of the unsecured senior line of credit is April 2017, assuming we exercise our sole right to extend the maturity date twice by an additional six months after each exercise.  Borrowings under the unsecured senior line of credit will bear interest at LIBOR or the base rate specified in the amended unsecured senior line of credit agreement, plus in either case a specified margin (the “Applicable Margin”).  The Applicable Margin for LIBOR borrowings under the unsecured senior line of credit as of June 30, 2013 , was 1.20% , which is based on our existing credit rating as set by certain rating agencies. As of June 30, 2013 , we did not have any borrowings outstanding.  Our unsecured senior line of credit is subject to an annual facility fee of 0.25% based on the aggregate commitments outstanding.

In addition, the terms of the unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loan agreements, among other things, limit the ability of the Company, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P., and the Company’s subsidiaries to i) consummate a merger, or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, and ii) incur certain secured or unsecured indebtedness.  Additionally, the terms of the unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loan agreements include a restriction that may limit our ability to pay dividends, including distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, during any time a default is continuing, except to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  As of June 30, 2013 , we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Interest rate swap agreements

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , our interest rate swap agreements were used primarily to hedge the variable cash flows associated with certain of our existing LIBOR-based variable rate debt, including our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans.  The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is required to be recognized directly in earnings.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , our interest rate swap agreements were 100% effective; because of this, no hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in earnings.  The effective portion of changes in the fair values of our interest rate swap agreements that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Losses are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.  During the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify approximately $11.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense as an increase to interest expense.

As of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , the fair values of our interest rate swap agreements were classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits based upon their respective fair values, aggregating a liability balance of approximately $12.5 million and $20.7 million , respectively, which included accrued interest and adjustments for non-performance risk, with the offsetting adjustment reflected as unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss in total equity.  Under our interest rate swap agreements, we have no collateral posting requirements.

We had the following outstanding interest rate swap agreements that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk as of June 30, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

Fair value measurements

We are required to disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.  We measure and disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions.  This hierarchy consists of three broad levels, as follows: i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, ii) “significant other observable inputs,” and iii) “significant unobservable inputs.”  “Significant other observable inputs” can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.  “Significant unobservable inputs” are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, since there is little, if any, related market activity.  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.  Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.  There were no transfers between the levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 .

The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits approximate fair value.  Our “available-for-sale” securities and our interest rate swap agreements, respectively, have been recognized at fair value.  The fair values of our secured notes payable, unsecured senior notes payable, unsecured senior line of credit, and unsecured senior bank term loans were estimated using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses of “significant other observable inputs” such as available market information on discount and borrowing rates with similar terms, maturities, and credit ratings.  Because the valuations of our financial instruments are based on these types of estimates, the actual fair value of our financial instruments may differ materially if our estimates do not prove to be accurate.  Additionally, the use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

As of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , the book and fair values of our marketable securities, interest rate swap agreements, secured notes payable, unsecured senior notes payable, unsecured senior line of credit, and unsecured senior bank term loans were as follows (in thousands):

Earnings per share

We use income from continuing operations attributable to Alexandria’s common stockholders as the “control number” in determining whether potential common shares, including potential common shares issuable upon conversion of our 8.00% unsecured senior convertible notes (“8.00% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes”), are dilutive or antidilutive to earnings per share.  Pursuant to the presentation and disclosure literature on gains or losses on sales or disposals by REITs and earnings per share required by the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board, gains or losses on sales or disposals by a REIT that do not qualify as discontinued operations are classified below income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income and included in the numerator for the computation of earnings per share for income from continuing operations.

The land parcels we sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , and the six months ended June 30, 2012 , did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations because the land parcels did not have significant operations prior to disposition.  Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , and the six months ended June 30, 2012 , we classified approximately $0.8 million and $1.9 million , respectively, as gain on sales of land parcels below income from discontinued operations, net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, and included the gain in income from continuing operations attributable to Alexandria’s common stockholders in the “control number,” or numerator for computation of earnings per share.

We account for unvested restricted stock awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of earnings per share using the two-class method.  Our Series D convertible preferred stock (“Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”) and our 8.00% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes are not participating securities, and are not included in the computation of earnings per share using the two-class method.  Under the two-class method, we allocate net income after preferred stock dividends, preferred stock redemption charge, and amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests to common stockholders and unvested restricted stock awards based on their respective participation rights to dividends declared (or accumulated) and undistributed earnings.  Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding determined for the basic earnings per share computation plus the effect of any dilutive securities, including the dilutive effect of stock options using the treasury stock method.

Stockholders’ equity

Secondary offering of common stock

In May 2013, we sold approximately 7.6 million shares of our common stock in a secondary offering (including 1.0 million shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares). The shares were issued at a price of $73.50 per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $535.5 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions).

“At the market” common stock offering program

In June 2012, we established an “at the market” common stock offering program under which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $250 million of our common stock through our sales agents, BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, during a three-year period. As of June 30, 2013 , approximately $150 million of our common stock remained available for issuance under the “at the market” common stock offering program.

Dividends

In June 2013 , we declared cash dividends for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , on our common stock aggregating approximately $46.4 million , or $0.65 per share.  In June 2013 , we also declared cash dividends for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , on our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock aggregating approximately $4.4 million , or $0.4375 per share.  Additionally, we declared cash dividends for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , on our Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock aggregating approximately $2.1 million , or $0.403125 per share.  In July 2013, we paid the cash dividends for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , on our common stock, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, and Series E Preferred Stock.

Preferred stock and excess stock authorizations

Our charter authorizes the issuance of up to 100 million shares of preferred stock, of which 15.2 million shares were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2013 .  In addition, 200 million shares of “excess stock” (as defined in our charter) are authorized, none of which were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2013 .

11.
Noncontrolling interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the third-party interests in certain entities in which we have a controlling interest.  These entities owned 10 properties and three development parcels as of June 30, 2013 , and are included in our consolidated financial statements.  Noncontrolling interests are adjusted for additional contributions and distributions, the proportionate share of the net earnings or losses, and other comprehensive income or loss.  Distributions, profits, and losses related to these entities are allocated in accordance with the respective operating agreements.

Certain of our noncontrolling interests have the right to require us to redeem their ownership interests in the respective entities.  We classify these ownership interests in the entities as redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of total equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Redeemable noncontrolling interests are adjusted for additional contributions and distributions, the proportionate share of the net earnings or losses, and other comprehensive income or loss.  Distributions, profits, and losses related to these entities are allocated in accordance with the respective operating agreements.  If the carrying amount of a redeemable noncontrolling interest is less than the maximum redemption value at the balance sheet date, such amount is adjusted to the maximum redemption value.  Subsequent declines in the redemption value are recognized only to the extent that previous increases have been recognized.  As of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , our redeemable noncontrolling interest balances were approximately $14.5 million and $14.6 million , respectively.  Our remaining noncontrolling interests, aggregating approximately $47.3 million and $46.6 million as of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , respectively, do not have rights to require us to purchase their ownership interests and are classified in total equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Subsequent events

Ariad Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Expansion

On July 3, 2013 , Ariad Pharmaceuticals, Inc. executed a letter of intent (“LOI”) to lease an additional 139,374 RSF for a 15 year term at our 75/125 Binney Street development in the Cambridge submarket of Greater Boston. An amendment to their lease is under negotiation to increase their lease to 383,497 RSF, or 99% of the total RSF of the project.

Sale of land parcel at 1600 Owens Street

On July 8, 2013 , we executed a purchase and sale agreement to dispose of our land parcel at 1600 Owens Street in the Mission Bay submarket of the San Francisco Bay Area for an aggregate sales price of $55.2 million , inclusive of certain parking spaces. This sale is expected to close in December 2013.

Acquisition of 10121/10151 Barnes Canyon Road

On July 5, 2013 , we agreed to make a $13.1 million investment in 10121/10151 Barnes Canyon Road, an approximate 116,000 RSF office property located in the Sorrento Mesa submarket of San Diego.  Our investment will be funded in two installments:  i) $5.4 million to be funded in August 2013 (which will earn a 7% return until the next payment is made), and ii) $7.7 million to be funded no later than October 2014.  The property is currently 100% occupied with leases that expire in 2014 and 2015. We intend to convert the existing office space into laboratory space through redevelopment when the space becomes available. Initial stabilized yields will be provided in the future upon commencement of the redevelopment.

Unsecured senior bank loan financings

On July 26, 2013 , we amended our $600 million 2016 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan to reduce our interest rate on outstanding borrowings . We did not extend the maturity of this loan as we expect to repay the loan over the next one to three years. In addition, we expect to complete amendments to our $1.5 billion unsecured senior line of credit and our $600 million 2017 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan in the third quarter of 2013 to reduce our interest rate on outstanding borrowings, extend the maturity dates and amend certain financial covenants . The commitments available for each facility will not change.

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (the “Issuer”) has sold certain debt securities registered under the Securities Act, as amended, that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P. (the “LP”), an indirectly 100% owned subsidiary of the Issuer.  The Company’s other subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the subsidiaries that own substantially all of its real estate (collectively, the “Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) will not provide a guarantee of such securities, including the subsidiaries that are partially or 100% owned by the LP.  The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2013 , and December 31, 2012 , the condensed consolidating statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , and the condensed consolidating statements of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , for the Issuer, the guarantor subsidiary (the LP), the Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for Alexandria on a consolidated basis, and consolidated amounts.  In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of accounting has been applied to i) the Issuer’s interests in the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, ii) the Guarantor Subsidiary’s interests in the Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, and iii) the Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries’ interests in the Guarantor Subsidiary, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under GAAP.  All intercompany balances and transactions between the Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiary, and the Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column “Eliminations.”  All assets and liabilities have been allocated to the Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiary, and the Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries generally based on legal entity ownership.

As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to the “Company,” “Alexandria,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  References to “GAAP” used herein refer to United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Overview

We are a self-administered and self-managed investment-grade REIT.  We are the largest and leading REIT focused principally on owning, operating, developing, redeveloping, and acquiring high-quality, sustainable real estate for the broad and diverse life science industry.  Founded in 1994, we are the first REIT to identify and pursue the laboratory niche and have focused our operations in core life science cluster locations including Greater Boston; the San Francisco Bay Area; San Diego; New York City; Seattle; Suburban Washington, D.C.; and Research Triangle Park.  Our high-credit client tenants span the life science industry, including renowned academic and medical institutions, multinational pharmaceutical companies, public and private biotechnology entities, United States government research agencies, medical device companies, industrial biotech companies, venture capital firms, and life science product and service companies.

Our primary business objective is to maximize stockholder value by providing our stockholders with the greatest possible total return and long-term asset value based on a multifaceted platform of internal and external growth.  The key elements to our strategy include our consistent focus on high-quality assets and operations in the top life science cluster locations, with our properties located in close proximity to life science entities, driving growth and technological advances within each cluster.  These locations are characterized by high barriers to entry for new landlords, high barriers to exit for client tenants, and limited supply of available space.  They represent highly desirable locations for tenancy by life science entities because of the close proximity to concentrations of specialized skills, knowledge, institutions, and related businesses.  Our strategy also includes drawing upon our deep and broad life science and real estate relationships in order to attract new and leading life science client tenants and value-added real estate.  We executed our initial public offering in 1997 and received our investment-grade ratings in 2011.

As of June 30, 2013 , we had 173 properties aggregating approximately 17.0 million RSF, composed of approximately 14.2 million RSF of operating properties, approximately 2.5 million RSF undergoing active development, and approximately 0.3 million RSF undergoing active redevelopment.  Our operating properties were approximately 93.3% leased as of June 30, 2013.   Investment-grade client tenants represented 46% of our total annualized base rent as of June 30, 2013.  The comparability of financial data from period to period is affected by the timing of our property acquisition, development, and redevelopment activities.

Operating Summary

Core operations

The key elements to our strategy include our consistent focus on high-quality assets and operations in the top life science cluster locations; our properties are located adjacent to life science entities, driving growth and technological advances within each cluster.  These adjacency locations are characterized by high barriers to entry for new landlords, high barriers to exit for client tenants, and limited supply of available space.  They represent highly desirable locations for tenancy by life science entities because of the close proximity to concentrations of specialized skills, knowledge, institutions, and related businesses.  Our strategy also includes drawing upon our deep and longstanding life science and real estate relationships in order to attract new and leading life science client tenants that provide us with our unique ability to create value through strong tenant retention and strategic development and redevelopment projects.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 , we executed a total of 66 leases for approximately 768,000 RSF at 38 different properties (excluding month-to-month leases).  Of this total, approximately 331,000 RSF related to new or renewal leases of previously leased space (renewed/re-leased space), and approximately 437,000 RSF related to developed, redeveloped, or previously vacant space.  Of the 437,000 RSF, approximately 270,000 RSF related to our development or redevelopment projects, and the remaining approximately 167,000 RSF related to previously vacant space.  Rental rates for renewed/re-leased spaces were, on average, approximately 6.7% higher on a cash basis and approximately 12.7% higher on a GAAP basis than rental rates for the respective expiring leases.  Additionally, we granted tenant concessions, including free rent averaging approximately 1.8 months, with respect to the 768,000 RSF leased during the three months ended June 30, 2013 .  Approximately 58% of the number of leases executed during the three months ended June 30, 2013 , did not include concessions for free rent.  The weighted average lease term based on leased square feet for the leases executed during the three months ended June 30, 2013 , was 8.4 years.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 , we executed a total of 108 leases for approximately 1.5 million RSF at 54 different properties (excluding month-to-month leases).  Of this total, approximately 487,000 RSF related to new or renewal leases of previously leased space (renewed/re-leased space), and approximately 984,000 RSF related to developed, redeveloped, or previously vacant space.  Of the 984,000 RSF, approximately 727,000 RSF related to our development or redevelopment projects, and the remaining approximately 257,000 RSF related to previously vacant space.  Rental rates for renewed/re-leased spaces were, on average, approximately 6.5% higher on a cash basis and approximately 12.7% higher on a GAAP basis than rental rates for the respective expiring leases.  Additionally, we granted tenant concessions, including free rent averaging approximately 1.8 months, with respect to the 1,471,000 RSF leased during the six months ended June 30, 2013 .  Approximately 59% of the number of leases executed during the six months ended June 30, 2013 , did not include concessions for free rent.  The weighted average lease term based on leased square feet for the leases executed during the six months ended June 30, 2013 , was 8.6 years.

As of June 30, 2013 , approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring client tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent.  Additionally, approximately 95% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that were either fixed or indexed based on a consumer price index or another index, and approximately 92% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) provided for the recapture of certain capital expenditures.

The chart below shows client tenant business type by annualized base rent as of June 30, 2013 :

Monitoring client tenant credit quality

During the term of each lease, we monitor the credit quality of our client tenants by i) reviewing the credit rating of tenants that are rated by a nationally recognized credit rating agency, ii) reviewing financial statements of the client tenants that are publicly available or that are required to be delivered to us pursuant to the applicable lease, iii) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and their respective businesses, and iv) monitoring the timeliness of lease payments. We have a team of employees who, among them, have graduate and undergraduate degrees in biology, chemistry and industrial biotechnology and experience in the life science industry, as well as in finance. This life science research team is responsible for assessing and monitoring the credit quality of our tenants and any material changes in credit quality.

(1)
Represents the book value associated with approximately 96,372 square feet at four projects undergoing construction of generic laboratory improvements, of which approximately 81% was leased, but not delivered, as of June 30, 2013.
(2)
In addition to assets included in our gross investments in real estate, we hold options/rights for parcels supporting the future ground-up development of approximately 420,000 RSF in Alexandria Center TM for Life Science - New York City related to an option under our ground lease. Also, our asset base contains additional embedded development opportunities aggregating approximately 715,000 RSF which represents additional development and expansion rights related to existing rental properties.



Development, Redevelopment, and Future Value-Added Projects

A key component of our business model is our value-added development and redevelopment projects.  These programs are focused on providing high-quality, generic, and reusable life science laboratory space to meet the real estate requirements of a wide range of client tenants in the life science industry.  During the period of construction, these assets are non-income-producing assets.


52


A significant amount of our active development and redevelopment projects are pre-leased and expected to be primarily delivered over the next one to six quarters.  The largest project in our land undergoing predevelopment activities in North America includes 1.2 million RSF at Alexandria Center TM at Kendall Square in East Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Upon completion, each value-added project is expected to generate significant revenues and cash flows.  Our development and redevelopment projects are generally in locations that are highly desirable to life science entities, which we believe results in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, and higher rental income and returns. We intend to reduce our land held for future development through sales. We currently have $76.3 million of land assets under sale negotiations.  Non-income-producing assets as a percentage of our gross investments in real estate is targeted to decrease to a range of 15% to 17% by December 31, 2013 , and targeted to be 15% or less for the subsequent periods.

Development projects generally consist of the ground-up development of generic and reusable life science laboratory facilities.  Redevelopment projects generally consist of the permanent change in use of office, warehouse, and shell space into generic life science laboratory space.  We anticipate execution of new active development projects for aboveground vertical construction of new life science laboratory space generally with significant pre-leasing.  Predevelopment activities include entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities prior to commencement of vertical construction of aboveground building improvements.  Our objective also includes the advancement of predevelopment efforts to reduce the time required to deliver projects to prospective client tenants.  These critical activities add significant value for future ground-up development and are required for the vertical construction of buildings.  Ultimately, these projects will provide high-quality facilities for the life science industry and are expected to generate significant revenue and cash flows for the Company.

As of June 30, 2013 , we had six ground-up development projects in process, including an unconsolidated joint venture development project, aggregating approximately 1,854,859 RSF.  We also had five projects undergoing conversion into laboratory space through redevelopment, aggregating approximately 224,241 RSF.  These projects, along with recently delivered projects, certain future projects, and contribution from same properties, are expected to contribute significant increases in rental income, NOI, and cash flows.

The chart below shows the historical trend of non-income-producing assets as a percentage of our gross investments in real estate:


Investment in unconsolidated real estate entity

We have a 27.5% equity interest in a joint venture that is currently developing a building totaling 413,536 RSF in the Longwood Medical Area of the Greater Boston market. Construction of this $350 million project commenced in April 2012 and is being funded with a $213 million construction loan, as well as capital contributions from each of the partners to the joint venture. The initial occupancy date for this project is expected during the three months ended December 31, 2014, and the project is 37% pre-leased to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. In addition, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. has an option to lease an additional two floors approximating 99,000 RSF, or 24%, of the total RSF of the project. We expect to earn construction management and other fees of approximately $3.5 million through 2015, and recurring annual property management fees thereafter, from this project. The project is expected to stabilize in 2016.


53


Our total investment into this project is approximately $33.8 million as of June 30, 2013. We expect to fund an additional $16.8 million of construction costs and our total investment at completion is expected to be approximately $50.6 million. The $350 million total project costs are being funded primarily from a non-recourse $213 million secured construction loan of which approximately $75.0 million was drawn and outstanding as of June 30, 2013. The construction loan has an interest rate of LIBOR + 3.75%, with a floor of 5.25%, and a maturity date of April 1, 2019, assuming the joint venture exercises its two separate one-year options to extend the stated maturity date of April 1, 2017. Our joint venture partners and the Company will fund the remaining development cost. Our projected investment at completion of the development is $50.6 million. We expect to earn yields of: 8.3% Initial Stabilized Yield on a cash basis, 8.9% Initial Stabilized Yield on a GAAP basis, and 9.3% on an average cash basis. Our Initial Stabilized Yields are based on our total projected $50.6 million investment at completion and exclude construction management fees or recurring annual property management fees to be earned from this project.

Results of operations

Same Properties

As a result of changes within our total property portfolio, the financial data presented in the following tables shows significant changes in revenue and expenses when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 .  In order to supplement an evaluation of our results of operations over a given period, we analyze the operating performance for all properties were fully operating for the entire periods presented (herein referred to as “Same Properties”) separate from properties acquired subsequent to the first day of the first period presented, properties undergoing active development and active redevelopment, and corporate entities (legal entities performing general and administrative functions), which are excluded from same property results (herein referred to as “Non-Same Properties”). Additionally, rental revenues from lease termination fees, if any, are excluded from the results of the Same Properties.

The following table reconciles same properties to total properties for the six months ended June 30, 2013 :

Rental revenues

Total rental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , increased by $10.4 million, or 10%, to $114.7 million, compared to $104.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 . The increase was due to rental revenues from our Non-Same Properties, including 15 development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after April 1, 2012, and one operating property that was acquired after April 1, 2012. Occupancy of Same Properties was 93.4% and 92.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Tenant recoveries

Tenant recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 , increased by $4.0 million, or 13%, to $35.9 million, compared to an increase of $4.2 million, or 10%, of rental operating expenses. Same Properties tenant recoveries increased by $0.5 million, while Same Properties rental operating expenses increased by $1.9 million, primarily due to increases in property tax rates for our properties located in Massachusetts, as well as the timing of certain repairs and maintenance projects and certain non-recoverable costs in the three months ended June 30, 2013 , compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 . Non-Same Properties tenant recoveries increased by $3.5 million as a result of a Non-Same Properties rental operating expense increase of $2.4 million. As of June 30, 2013 , approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring client tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent.

Other income

Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , of $3.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively, was as follows (in thousands):

Approximately $2.4 million of the increase was due to an increase in rental operating expenses from our Non-Same Properties, primarily related to 15 development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after April 1, 2012, and one operating property that was acquired after April 1, 2012.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , was $12.5 million, compared to $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 . The increase was primarily due to higher payroll and related benefits due to an increase in the number of our employees related to the growth in both the depth and breadth of our operations in multiple markets, partially offset by lower consulting fees during the three months ended June 30, 2013 . In 2012, we implemented a new enterprise software which required temporary consulting services. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 8.1% and 8.4%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 .

Interest expense decreased primarily due to the repayment of the outstanding balance of our unsecured senior line of credit from our common stock offering proceeds and the decrease in expense related to the maturity at the end of March 2013, of certain interest rate swap agreements with rates ranging from 4.622% to 4.625%. As these interest rate swaps ended, we opted to leave the underlying debt unhedged at a lower floating rate in anticipation of a reduction of outstanding variable rate debt that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 , when we issued $500 million of unsecured notes payable at a fixed rate of 3.90%. We have entered into certain interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of our exposure primarily related to variable interest rates associated with our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Interest Rate Swap Agreements”).

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , decreased by $4.2 million, or 8%, to $46.6 million, compared to $50.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 .  The decrease resulted primarily as a result of depreciation adjustments made in the three months ended June 30, 2012, which were necessary to reduce the carrying amount of certain buildings and improvements to zero in connection with planned redevelopments. These were partially offset by increased depreciation related to building improvements, including 15 development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after April 1, 2012, and one operating property that was acquired after April 1, 2012.

Income from discontinued operations, net

Income from discontinued operations, net, of $243,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , includes the results of operations of two operating properties with a net book value of $4.2 million that were classified as “held for sale” and the results of operations of one property sold during the three months ended June 30, 2013 .

Income from discontinued operations, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 , includes the results of operations of two operating properties that were classified as “held for sale” as of June 30, 2013 , and the results of operations of 10 properties sold since April 1, 2012.

The increase was due to rental revenues from our Non-Same Properties, including 15 development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after January 1, 2012, and one operating property that was acquired after January 1, 2012. Occupancy of Same Properties was 93.1% and 92.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Same Properties tenant recoveries increased by $2.1 million, while Same Properties rental operating expenses increased by $4.6 million, primarily due to increased operating costs related to colder weather in 2013, higher property taxes due to increases in tax rates for our properties located in Massachusetts, and the timing of certain repairs and maintenance projects in the six months ended June 30, 2013 , compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 . Non-Same Properties tenant recoveries increased by $5.7 million as a result of a Non-Same Properties rental operating expense increase of $4.4 million.

Approximately $4.4 million of the increase was due to an increase in rental operating expenses from our Non-Same Properties, primarily related to 15 development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after January 1, 2012, and one operating property that was acquired after January 1, 2012.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , increased by $1.5 million, or 6.5%, to $24.1 million, compared to $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 . The increase in expense was related to higher professional fees and higher payroll and related benefits due to the increase in the number of employees related to the growth in both the depth and breadth of our operations in multiple markets, partially offset by lower consulting fees during the six months ended June 30, 2013 . In 2012, we implemented a new enterprise software which required temporary consulting services. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 7.9% and 8.1%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 .

Interest expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , remained consistent, at $34.0 million, compared to $34.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 , detailed as follows (in thousands):

Interest expense decreased primarily due to the repayment of the outstanding balance of our unsecured senior line of credit using the proceeds of our common stock offering and the decrease in expense related to the maturity at the end of March 2013, of certain interest rate swap agreements with rates ranging from 4.622% to 4.625%. As these interest rate swaps ended, we opted to leave the underlying debt unhedged at a lower floating rate in anticipation of a reduction of outstanding variable rate debt that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 . This decrease was primarily offset by interest from our $1.05 billion of unsecured senior notes payable issued since the beginning of 2012 at a weighted averaged rate of 4.29%. We have entered into certain interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of our exposure primarily related to variable interest rates associated with our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Interest Rate Swap Agreements”).

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , remained consistent, at $92.6 million, compared to $92.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 .  Depreciation increased due to building improvements, including 15 development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after January 1, 2012, and one operating property that was acquired after January 1, 2012. This was partially offset by depreciation adjustments made in the six months ended June 30, 2012, which were necessary to reduce the carrying amount of certain buildings and improvements to zero in connection with planned redevelopments.

Income from discontinued operations, net

Income from discontinued operations, net, of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , includes the results of operations of two operating properties that were classified as “held for sale” and the results of operations of seven properties sold during the six months ended June 30, 2013 .

Income from discontinued operations, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 , includes the results of operations of two operating properties that were classified as “held for sale” as of June 30, 2013 , the results of operations of seven properties sold during the six months ended June 30, 2013 , and the results of operations of three properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2012 .

Represents loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees of $0.01 per share as a result of the $150 million partial repayment of our 2016 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan during the three months ended June 30, 2013, and the estimated loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees of $0.02 per share as a result of amendments of our 2016 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan, 2017 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan, and $1.5 billion unsecured senior line of credit which we expect to complete during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

On a short-term basis, our unhedged variable rate debt as a percentage of total debt may range up to 30%. Our strategy is to have unhedged variable rate debt available for repayment as we issue unsecured senior notes payable, extend our maturity profile, transition variable rate debt to fixed rate debt, and enhance our long-term capital structure.

Liquidity and capital resources

Overview

We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements, such as requirements for property acquisitions, development, redevelopment, other construction projects, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing costs, non-revenue-generating expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities, through net cash provided by operating activities, periodic asset sales, and long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, including borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit, unsecured senior bank term loans, and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.

We expect to continue meeting our short-term liquidity and capital requirements, as further detailed in this section, generally through our working capital and net cash provided by operating activities.  We believe that the net cash provided by operating activities will continue to be sufficient to enable us to make the distributions necessary to continue qualifying as a REIT.


67


Over the next several years, our balance sheet, capital structure, and liquidity objectives are as follows:

Reduce leverage as a percentage of debt to total gross assets and improve our ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization;
Maintain diverse sources of capital, including sources from net cash flows from operating activities, unsecured debt, secured debt, selective asset sales, joint ventures, preferred stock, and common stock;
Manage the amount of debt maturing in a single year;
Mitigate unhedged variable rate debt exposure by transitioning our balance sheet debt from short-term and medium-term variable rate bank debt to long-term unsecured fixed rate debt, and utilize interest rate swap agreements in the interim period during this transition of debt;
Maintain adequate liquidity from net cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowing capacity under our unsecured senior line of credit;
Maintain available borrowing capacity in excess of 50% under our $1.5 billion unsecured senior line of credit, except temporarily as necessary;
Fund preferred stock and common stock dividends from net cash provided by operating activities;
Retain positive cash flows from operating activities after payment of dividends for reinvestment in acquisitions and/or development and redevelopment projects; and
Reduce our non-income-producing assets as a percentage of our gross investment in real estate.

Investment-grade ratings and key credit metrics

In July 2011, we received investment-grade ratings from two major rating agencies.  Receipt of our investment-grade ratings was a significant milestone that we believe will provide long-term value to our debt and equity stakeholders.  Key strengths of our balance sheet and business that highlight our investment-grade credit profile include balance sheet liquidity, a diverse and creditworthy client tenant base, well-located properties proximate to leading research institutions, favorable lease terms, stable occupancy and cash flows, and demonstrated life science and real estate expertise.  This significant milestone broadens our access to another key source of debt capital and allows us to continue to pursue our long-term capital, investment, and operating strategies.  The issuance of investment-grade unsecured senior notes payable has allowed us to begin the transition from bank debt financing to unsecured senior notes payable, from variable rate debt to fixed rate debt, and from short-term debt to long-term debt.  While this transition of bank debt is in process, we will utilize interest rate swap agreements to reduce our interest rate risk.

Unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans

The maturity date of the unsecured senior line of credit is April 2017, assuming we exercise our sole right to extend the stated maturity date twice by an additional six months after each exercise.  Borrowings under the unsecured senior line of credit will bear interest at LIBOR or the base rate specified in the amended unsecured senior line of credit agreement, plus in either case a specified margin (the “Applicable Margin”).  The Applicable Margin for LIBOR borrowings under the unsecured senior line of credit is based on our existing credit rating as set by certain rating agencies. As of June 30th, we did not have any borrowings outstanding. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for the Applicable Margin in effect at June 30, 2013, had there been any borrowings outstanding.  In addition to the Applicable Margin, our unsecured senior line of credit is subject to an annual facility fee of 0.25%.

We are in the process of amending our $1.5 billion unsecured senior line of credit to reduce our interest rate on outstanding borrowings, extend the maturity dates and amend certain financial covenants. We expect to complete the amendment during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The requirements of, and our actual performance with respect to, the key financial covenants under our unsecured senior line of credit as of June 30, 2013 , are as follows:

Unsecured senior notes payable

On July 26, 2013, we amended our $600 million 2016 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan to reduce our interest rate on outstanding borrowings. We are in the process of amending our $600 million 2017 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan to reduce our interest rate on outstanding borrowings, extend the maturity dates and amend certain financial covenants. We expect to complete the process during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

We had $302.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013.

The key assumptions behind the sources and uses of capital in the table above are a favorable capital market environment and performance of our core operations in areas such as delivery of current and future development and redevelopment projects, leasing activity, and renewals.  Our expected sources and uses of capital are subject to a number of variables and uncertainties, including those discussed under the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of Part I, the “Risk Factors” section of Item 1A, and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section under Item 7, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  We expect to update our forecast of sources and uses of capital on a quarterly basis.

Sources of capital

Real estate asset sales

We continue the disciplined execution of our asset recycling program to monetize non-strategic income-producing and non-income-producing assets as a source of capital.  We completed all significant sales of non-strategic income-producing assets targeted for 2013 with an aggregate sales price totaling $128.6 million including one asset sold during the three months ended June 30, 2013, with an aggregate sales price totaling $4.4 million. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

3.90% unsecured senior notes payable offering

In June 2013, we completed the issuance of our 3.90% Unsecured Senior Notes due in June 2023. Net proceeds of approximately $495.3 million were used to prepay $150 million of the outstanding principal balance of $750 million on our 2016 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan, to reduce the outstanding borrowings on our unsecured senior line of credit to zero, and to hold the remaining proceeds in cash and cash equivalents to fund near-term opportunities related to development/redevelopment projects, to fund near-term property acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes. As a result of the $150 million prepayment, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of a portion of unamortized loan fees in June 2013, totaling $560 thousand. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

Common stock offering

In May 2013, we sold approximately 7.6 million shares of our common stock in a secondary offering. The shares were issued at a price of $73.50 per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $535.5 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions). We have established an “at the market” common stock offering program under which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $250 million of our common stock through our sales agents, with approximately $150 million of common stock available for issuance under the program as of June 30, 2013 . See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

Cash and cash equivalents

As of June 30, 2013, we had approximately $302.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.  We expect existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities, proceeds from asset sales, secured construction loan borrowings, issuances of unsecured notes payable, and issuances of common stock to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as regular quarterly dividends, scheduled debt repayments, and material capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months, and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

Unsecured senior line of credit

We use our unsecured senior line of credit to fund working capital, construction activities, and, from time to time, acquisition of properties.  As of June 30, 2013, we had $1.5 billion available for borrowing under our $1.5 billion unsecured senior line of credit.

Other sources

Under our current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC, we may offer common stock, preferred stock, debt, and other securities. These securities may be issued from time to time at our discretion based on our needs and market conditions, including as necessary to balance our use of incremental debt capital.

We hold interests, together with certain third parties, in companies that we consolidate in our financial statements.  These third parties may contribute equity into these entities primarily related to their share of funds for construction and financing-related activities.

Uses of capital

Summary of capital expenditures

The primary use of our cash has historically been in the development, redevelopment and construction of properties. We currently have development projects underway for more than 1.8 million rentable square feet of laboratory space, including 1.4 million square feet of consolidated projects, as well as approximately 414,000 square feet for a project held by an unconsolidated joint venture. We incur not only hard costs spent directly on construction activity but also the additional cost (and use of cash) on project costs, including interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development or construction of a project during periods when activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are in progress.

Capitalized interest for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, of approximately $29.7 million and $31.1 million, respectively, is classified in investments in real estate, net, as well as included in the table summarizing total capital expenditures.  In addition, we capitalized payroll and other indirect project costs related to development, redevelopment, and construction projects, including projects in Asia, aggregating approximately $7.4 million and $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Such costs are also included in the “Summary of Capital Expenditures” section under the “Development, Redevelopment, and Future Value-Added Projects” section above.

We capitalize interest cost as a cost of the project only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost has been incurred.  Indirect project costs, including construction administration, legal fees, and office costs that clearly relate to projects under development or construction, are capitalized as incurred during the period an asset is undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use.  Additionally, should activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use cease, interest, taxes, insurance, and certain other direct project costs related to this asset would be expensed as incurred.  When construction activities cease and the asset is ready for its intended use, the asset is transferred out of construction in progress and classified as rental properties, net.  Additionally, if vertical aboveground construction is not initiated at completion of predevelopment activities, the land parcel will be classified as land held for future development.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  Fluctuations in our development, redevelopment, and construction activities could result in significant changes to total expenses and net income.  For example, had we experienced a 10% reduction in development, redevelopment, and construction activities without a corresponding decrease in indirect project costs, including interest and payroll, total expenses would have increased by approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

We also capitalize and defer initial direct costs to originate leases with independent third parties related to evaluating a prospective lessee’s financial condition, negotiating lease terms, preparing the lease agreement, and closing the lease transaction.  Costs that we have capitalized and deferred relate to successful leasing transactions, result directly from and are essential to the lease transaction, and would not have been incurred had that leasing transaction not occurred.  The initial direct costs capitalized and deferred also include the portion of our employees’ total compensation and payroll-related fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing activities previously described and related to the respective lease that would not have been performed but for that lease. Total initial direct leasing costs capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, were approximately $21.1 million and $18.7 million, respectively, of which approximately $5.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, represented capitalized and deferred payroll costs directly related and essential to our leasing activities during such periods.

Acquisitions

On July 5, 2013, we agreed to make a $13.1 million investment in 10121/10151 Barnes Canyon Road, two office properties located in the Sorrento Mesa submarket of San Diego.  Our investment will be funded in two installments:  i) $5.4 million to be funded in August,2013 (which will earn a 7% return until the next payment is made), and ii) $7.7 million to be funded no later than October 2014.  We intend to convert the existing office space into laboratory space through redevelopment when the space becomes available. Additional acquisitions are anticipated in the latter half of the year as shown on the summary table of sources and uses of cash above.

2016 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan repayment

In June 2013, we repaid $150 million of the 2016 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan by utilizing a portion of the proceeds generated by the issuance of our $500 million 3.90% Unsecured Senior Notes, as described under “Sources of Capital” above. As a result of the $150 million prepayment, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of a portion of unamortized loan fees in June 2013, totaling $560 thousand. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

We are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income on an annual basis in order to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly, we intend to make, but are not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to preferred and common stockholders from cash flow from operating activities.  All such distributions are at the discretion of our Board of Directors.  We may be required to use borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit, if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our REIT status.  We consider market factors and our performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels.  Our forecasts of taxable income and distributions do not require significant increases in our annual common stock dividends on a per share basis in order to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income for the period from January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013.

Cash flows

We report and analyze our cash flows based on operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.  The following table summarizes changes in the Company’s cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

Cash flows provided by operating activities are primarily dependent on the occupancy level of our asset base, the rental rates of our leases, the collectability of rent and recovery of operating expenses from our tenants, the delivery of development projects and the timing and delivery of redevelopment projects. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , was essentially flat at $143.1 million , compared to $143.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 .   Excluding the changes in assets and liabilities, net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , increased by approximately $11.0 million , or 7.8%, to $151.7 million , compared to $140.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 .  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in our Same Property cash net operating income of approximately $13.0 million, or 8.3%, to $170.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , compared to $157.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 . As of June 30, 2013 , approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring client tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was $216.5 million, compared to $292.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  This change consisted of the following amounts (in thousands):

The change in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013, is primarily due to proceeds from sales of properties, a lower investment amount in property acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, offset by an increase in capital expenditures related to our development and redevelopment projects during the six months ended June 30, 2013. For additional information on the sales of real estate assets, see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

Value-added opportunities and external growth
As of June 30, 2013, we had six ground-up development projects in process, including an unconsolidated joint venture development project, aggregating 1,854,859 RSF.  We also had five projects undergoing conversion into laboratory space through redevelopment, aggregating 224,241 RSF.  These projects, along with recently delivered projects, certain future projects, and contribution from same properties, are expected to contribute significant increases in rental income, NOI, and cash flows. For further discussion, see “Sources and Uses of Capital – Uses of Capital – Summary of Capital Expenditures” above.

Our Initial Stabilized Yield on a cash basis reflects cash rents at date of stabilization and does not reflect contractual rent escalations beyond the stabilization date.  We expect, on average, our cash rents related to our value-added projects to increase over time pursuant to contractual rent escalations.  As of June 30, 2013, 95% of our leases contained annual rent escalations that were either fixed or based on a consumer price index or another index.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we executed leases aggregating approximately 270,000 and 727,000 RSF related to our development and redevelopment projects, respectively.

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

The increase in dividends paid on our common stock is primarily due to an increase in the related dividends to $1.25 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $1.00 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase was also due to an increase in common stock outstanding.  Total common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2013, was 71.0 million shares, compared to 62.2 million shares as of June 30, 2012. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

Inflation

As of June 30, 2013, approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring client tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent.  Approximately 95% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that were either fixed (generally ranging from 3.0% to 3.5%) or indexed based on a consumer price index or another index.  Accordingly, we do not believe that our cash flow or earnings from real estate operations are subject to any significant risk from inflation.  An increase in inflation, however, could result in an increase in the cost of our variable rate borrowings, including borrowings related to our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans.

Estimated interest payments

Estimated interest payments on our fixed rate debt and hedged variable rate debt were calculated based upon contractual interest rates, including the impact of interest rate swap agreements, interest payment dates, and scheduled maturity dates.  As of June 30, 2013, approximately 89% of our debt was fixed rate debt or variable rate debt subject to interest rate swap agreements.  See additional information regarding our interest rate swap agreements under “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations and Commitments – Interest Rate Swap Agreements.”  The remaining 11% of our debt is unhedged variable rate debt based primarily on LIBOR.  Interest payments on our unhedged variable rate debt have been calculated based on interest rates in effect as of June 30, 2013.  See additional information regarding our debt under Note 5, Secured and Unsecured Senior Debt, to our consolidated financial statements appearing in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Interest rate swap agreements

We utilize interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of our exposure to variable interest rates primarily associated with our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans.  These agreements involve an exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amount (the “notional amount”).  Interest received under all of our interest rate swap agreements is based on the one-month LIBOR.  The net difference between the interest paid and the interest received is reflected as an adjustment to interest expense.

In addition to the interest pay rate, borrowings outstanding under our unsecured senior bank term loans include an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% as of June 30, 2013.

We have entered into master derivative agreements with each counterparty.  These master derivative agreements (all of which are adapted from the standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. form) define certain terms between the Company and each counterparty to address and minimize certain risks associated with our interest rate swap agreements.  In order to limit our risk of non-performance by an individual counterparty under our interest rate swap agreements, our interest rate swap agreements are spread among various counterparties.  As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the largest aggregate notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements in effect at any single point in time with an individual counterparty was $375 million.  If one or more of our counterparties fail to perform under our interest rate swap agreements, we may incur higher costs associated with our variable rate LIBOR-based debt than the interest costs we originally anticipated.

As of June 30, 2013, the fair values of our interest rate swap agreements were classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits based upon their respective fair values, aggregating a liability balance of approximately $12.5 million, with the offsetting adjustment reflected as unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss in total equity.  Balances in accumulated other comprehensive loss are recognized in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.  We have not posted any collateral related to our interest rate swap agreements.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately $8.1 and $11.7 million, respectively, was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense as an increase to interest expense.  During the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify approximately $11.2 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense as an increase to interest expense.


77


Ground lease obligations

Ground lease obligations as of June 30, 2013, included leases for 25 of our properties and four land development parcels.  Excluding one ground lease related to one operating property that expires in 2036 with a net book value of approximately $7.9 million at June 30, 2013, our ground lease obligations have remaining lease terms ranging from 41 to 196 years, including extension options.

Commitments

In addition to the above, as of June 30, 2013, remaining aggregate costs under contract for the construction of properties undergoing development, redevelopment, and generic life science infrastructure improvements under the terms of leases approximated $281.0 million.  We expect payments for these obligations to occur over one to three years, subject to capital planning adjustments from time to time.  We are also committed to funding approximately $54.0 million for certain investments over the next six years.

A 100% owned subsidiary of the Company previously executed a ground lease, as ground lessee, for certain property in New York City.  The West Tower of the Alexandria Center™ for Life Science – New York City will be constructed on such ground-leased property.  In November 2012, we commenced vertical construction of the West Tower.  The ground lease provides that substantial completion of the West Tower occur by October 31, 2015, and requires satisfying conditions that include substantially completed construction in accordance with the plans.  The ground lease also provides that by October 31, 2016, the ground lessee shall obtain a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for the core and shell of both the East Tower of the Alexandria Center™ for Life Science – New York City (which has occurred) and the West Tower.  In each case, the target dates above are subject to force majeure, to contractual cure rights, to other legal remedies available to ground lessees generally, and to change for any reason by agreement between both parties under the ground lease.  If the above dates are not met, the ground lease provides contractual cure rights and the ground lease does not provide for the payment of additional rent, a late fee, or other monetary penalty.

Exposure to environmental liabilities

In connection with the acquisition of all of our properties, we have obtained Phase I environmental assessments to ascertain the existence of any environmental liabilities or other issues.  The Phase I environmental assessments of our properties have not revealed any environmental liabilities that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole, nor are we aware of any material environmental liabilities that have occurred since the Phase I environmental assessments were completed.  In addition, we carry a policy of pollution legal liability insurance covering exposure to certain environmental losses at substantially all of our properties.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist of our investment in a real estate entity that is a variable interest entity for which we are not the primary beneficiary.  We account for the real estate entity under the equity method.  The debt held by the unconsolidated real estate entity is secured by the land parcel owned by the entity, and is non-recourse to us.  See Notes 2 and 3 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies

Refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 , for a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which include rental properties, net, land held for future development, construction in progress, discontinued operations, impairment of long-lived assets, capitalization of costs, accounting for investments, interest rate hedge agreements, and recognition of rental income and tenant recoveries.  There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended June 30, 2013 .

Non-GAAP measures

Funds from operations and funds from operations, as adjusted

GAAP basis accounting for real estate assets utilizes historical cost accounting and assumes that real estate values diminish over time.  In an effort to overcome the difference between real estate values and historical cost accounting for real estate assets, the Board of Governors of NAREIT established the measurement tool of FFO.  Since its introduction, FFO has become a widely used non-GAAP financial measure among equity REITs.  We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as an additional measure of the performance of an equity REIT.  Moreover, we believe that FFO, as adjusted, is also helpful because it allows investors to compare our performance to the performance of other real estate companies between periods, and on a consistent basis, without having to account for differences caused by investment and disposition decisions, financing decisions, terms of securities, capital structures, and capital market transactions.  We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its NAREIT White Paper.  The NAREIT White Paper defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciable real estate and land parcels and impairments of depreciable real estate (excluding land parcels), plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Impairments of real estate relate to decreases in the estimated fair value of real estate due to changes in general market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the operating performance of the properties during the corresponding period.  Impairments of real estate represent the non-cash write-down of assets when fair value over the recoverability period is less than the carrying value.  We compute FFO, as adjusted, as FFO calculated in accordance with the NAREIT White Paper, plus losses on early extinguishment of debt, preferred stock redemption charges, and impairments of land parcels, less realized gain on equity investment primarily related to one non-tenant life science entity, and the amount of such items that is allocable to our unvested restricted stock awards.  Our calculations of both FFO and FFO, as adjusted, and the related amounts per share using the basic and diluted shares calculated in accordance with GAAP, may differ from those methodologies utilized by other equity REITs for similar performance measurements, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to those of other equity REITs.  Neither FFO nor FFO, as adjusted, should be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity, nor are they indicative of the availability of funds for our cash needs, including funds available to make distributions.

Adjusted funds from operations

AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance.  We compute AFFO by adding to or deducting from FFO, as adjusted: (1) non-revenue-enhancing capital expenditures, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions (excludes development and redevelopment expenditures); (2) effects of straight-line rent and straight-line rent on ground leases; (3) capitalized income from development projects; (4) amortization of acquired above and below market leases, loan fees, and debt premiums/discounts; (5) non-cash compensation expense; and (6) allocation of AFFO attributable to unvested restricted stock awards.

We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental performance measure because it further adjusts to: (1) deduct certain expenditures that, although capitalized and classified in depreciation expense, do not enhance the revenue or cash flows of our properties; (2) eliminate the effect of straight-lining our rental income and capitalizing income from development projects in order to reflect the actual amount of contractual rents due in the period presented; and (3) eliminate the effect of non-cash items that are not indicative of our core operations and do not actually reduce the amount of cash generated by our operations.  We believe that eliminating the effect of non-cash charges related to share-based compensation facilitates a comparison of our operations across periods and among other equity REITs without the variances caused by different valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside our control), and the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use.  We believe that AFFO provides useful information by excluding certain items that are not representative of our core operating results because such items are dependent upon historical costs or subject to judgmental valuation inputs and the timing of our decisions.

AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow for the period, and is intended only to provide an additional measure of performance.  We believe that net income attributable to Alexandria’s common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to AFFO.  We believe that AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of equity REITs, and presenting AFFO will enable investors to assess our performance in comparison to other equity REITs.  However, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO calculated by other equity REITs.  AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or to cash flows 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 distributions.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, and is used by us and others as a supplemental measure of performance.  We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins to assess the performance of our core operations, for financial and operational decision making, and as a supplemental or additional means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis.  Adjusted EBITDA also serves as a proxy for a component of a financial covenant under certain of our debt obligations.  Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA excluding net stock compensation expense, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of real estate, gains or losses on sales of land parcels, impairments of real estate, and impairments of land parcels.  We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins provide investors relevant and useful information because they permit investors to view income from our operations on an unleveraged basis before the effects of taxes, non-cash depreciation and amortization, net stock compensation expense, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of real estate, gains or losses on sales of land parcels, impairments of real estate, and impairments of land parcels.  By excluding interest expense and gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins allow investors to measure our performance independent of our capital structure and indebtedness and, therefore, allow for a more meaningful comparison of our performance to that of other companies, both in the real estate industry and in other industries.  We believe that excluding non-cash charges related to share-based compensation facilitates a comparison of our operations across periods and among other equity REITs without the variances caused by different valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside our control), and the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use.  We believe that adjusting for the effects of gains or losses on sales of real estate, gains or losses on sales of land parcels, impairments of real estate, and impairments of land parcels provides useful information by excluding certain items that are not representative of our core operating results.  These items are dependent upon historical costs, and are subject to judgmental inputs and the timing of our decisions.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins have limitations as measures of our performance.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins do not reflect our historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.  While EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins are relevant and widely used measures of performance, they do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, and they should not be considered as alternatives to those indicators in evaluating performance or liquidity.  Further, our computation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

The following table reconciles net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Fixed charge coverage ratio

The fixed charge coverage ratio is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Company’s ability to satisfy fixed financing obligations and preferred stock dividends.  Cash interest is equal to interest expense calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus capitalized interest, less amortization of loan fees, and amortization of debt premiums/discounts.  The fixed charge coverage ratio calculation below is not directly comparable to the computation of “Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges and Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Combined Fixed Charges and Preferred Stock Dividends” included in Exhibit 12.1 to our annual report on Form 10-K, as of December 31, 2012.

Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA

Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating our leverage.  Net debt is equal to the sum of total debt less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash.  See “Adjusted EBITDA” for further information on the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

The following table summarizes the calculation of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA as of June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Net debt to gross assets (excluding cash and restricted cash)

Net debt to gross assets (excluding cash and restricted cash) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating our leverage.  Net debt is calculated as described in “Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA.”  Gross assets (excluding cash and restricted cash) are equal to total assets plus accumulated depreciation less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash.

NOI

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt, impairment of land parcel, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and general and administrative expense.  We believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects primarily those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level.  Therefore, we believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets.  NOI on a cash basis is NOI on a GAAP basis, adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent adjustments required by GAAP.  We believe that NOI on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance because it eliminates straight-line rent adjustments to rental revenue.

Further, we believe NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure, because when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations.  NOI excludes certain components from income from continuing operations in order to provide results that are more closely related to the results of operations of our properties.  For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level rather than at the property level.  In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level.  Real estate impairments have been excluded in deriving NOI because we do not consider impairment losses to be property-level operating expenses.  Real estate impairment losses relate to changes in the values of our assets and do not reflect the current operating performance with respect to related revenues or expenses.  Our real estate impairments represent the write-down in the value of the assets to the estimated fair value less cost to sell.  These impairments result from investing decisions and the deterioration in market conditions that adversely impact underlying real estate values.  Our calculation of NOI also excludes charges incurred from changes in certain financing decisions, such as losses on early extinguishment of debt, as these charges often relate to the timing of corporate strategy.  Property operating expenses that are included in determining NOI consist of costs that are related to our operating properties, such as utilities; repairs and maintenance; rental expense related to ground leases; contracted services, such as janitorial, engineering, and landscaping; property taxes and insurance; and property-level salaries.  General and administrative expenses consist primarily of accounting and corporate compensation, corporate insurance, professional fees, office rent, and office supplies that are incurred as part of corporate office management.  NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other equity REITs that define NOI differently.  We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with income from continuing operations as presented in our consolidated statements of income.  NOI should not be considered as an alternative to income from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or a measure of our ability to make distributions.

The following table is a reconciliation of NOI from continuing operations to income from continuing operations and NOI from discontinued operations to income from discontinued operations, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):

Unencumbered NOI as a percentage of total NOI
Unencumbered NOI as a percentage of total NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors as a performance measure of our results of operations of our unencumbered real estate assets, as it reflects primarily those income and expense items that are incurred at the unencumbered property level.  We use unencumbered NOI as a percentage of total NOI in order to assess our compliance with our financial covenants under our debt obligations because the measure serves as a proxy for a financial measure under such debt obligations.  Unencumbered NOI is derived from assets classified in continuing operations that are not subject to any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, or other security interest as of the period for which income is presented.  Unencumbered NOI for periods prior to the three months ended June 30, 2013, has been reclassified to conform to current period presentation related to discontinued operations.  See the reconciliation of NOI to income from continuing operations in “Results of Operations.”

The following table summarizes unencumbered NOI as a percentage of total NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk

The primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk, which may result from many factors, including government monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control.

In order to modify and manage the interest rate characteristics of our outstanding debt and to limit the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swap agreements, caps, floors, and other interest rate exchange contracts.  The use of these types of instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, such as counterparty credit risk and the legal enforceability of hedging contracts.

Our future earnings and fair values relating to financial instruments are primarily dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, such as LIBOR.  However, our interest rate swap agreements are intended to reduce the effects of interest rate changes.  The following table illustrates the effect of a 1% increase/decrease in interest rates, assuming a LIBOR floor of 0%, on our variable rate debt, including our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans, after considering the effect of our interest rate swap agreements, secured debt, unsecured senior notes payable, and unsecured senior convertible notes (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2013
As of December 31, 2012
Annualized impact to future earnings due to variable rate debt:
Rate increase of 1%
$
(5,828
)
$
(5,870
)
Rate decrease of 1%
$
5,235

$
1,101

Effect on fair value of secured debt:
Rate increase of 1%
$
(30,171
)
$
(37,146
)
Rate decrease of 1%
$
23,347

$
27,260


These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost and our interest rate swap agreements in effect on June 30, 2013 .  These analyses do not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.  Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we would consider taking actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change.  However, because of the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analyses assume no changes in our capital structure.

Equity price risk

We have exposure to equity price market risk because of our equity investments in certain publicly traded companies and privately held entities.  We classify investments in publicly traded companies as “available for sale” and, consequently, recognize them in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.  Investments in privately held entities are generally accounted for under the cost method because we do not influence any of the operating or financial policies of the entities in which we invest.  For all investments, we recognize other-than-temporary declines in value against earnings in the same period during which the decline in value was deemed to have occurred.  There is no assurance that future declines in value will not have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations.  The following table illustrates the effect that a 10% change in the fair value of our equity investments would have on earnings (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2013
As of December 31, 2012
Equity price risk:
Increase in fair value of 10%
$
12,261

$
11,505

Decrease in fair value of 10%
$
(12,261
)
$
(11,505
)


87


Foreign currency exchange rate risk

We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our subsidiaries operating in Canada and Asia.  The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are the respective local currencies.  Gains or losses resulting from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets and statements of income are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of total equity.  Gains or losses will be reflected in our statements of income when there is a sale or partial sale of our investment in these operations or upon a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment.  The following table illustrates the effect that a 10% increase or decrease in foreign currency rates relative to the U.S. dollar would have on our earnings, based on our current operating assets outside the U.S. (in thousands):
As of June 30, 2013
As of December 31, 2012
Foreign currency exchange rate risk:
Increase in foreign currency exchange rate of 10%
$
(123
)
$
(29
)
Decrease in foreign currency exchange rate of 10%
$
123

$
29


This sensitivity analysis assumes a parallel shift of all foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the U.S. dollar; however, foreign currency exchange rates do not typically move in such a manner and actual results may differ materially.

Item 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of June 30, 2013 , we had performed an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  These controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required for disclosure is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the requisite time periods.  Based on our evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013 .

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2013 , that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A.
RISK FACTORS

Monetary policy actions by the Federal Reserve could adversely impact our financial condition and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

In recent years, various monetary policies undertaken by the Federal Reserve have involved quantitative easing, which involves open market transactions by monetary authorities to stimulate economic activity through the purchase of assets with longer maturities than short-term government bonds. Among other things, quantitative easing is intended to create or maintain a low interest rate environment and to stimulate economic activity.

In May 2013, the securities markets began interpreting comments by members of the Federal Reserve, including its chairman, that its quantitative easing would begin to be reduced sometime in 2013. The Federal Reserve has since articulated that the so-called “tapering” of quantitative easing could begin in September 2013 and may cease entirely by mid-2014, depending upon the Federal Reserve's assessment of the performance of the U.S. economy. Because of expectations for near-term tapering of quantitative easing, the markets experienced an abrupt transition to higher long-term interest rates in May and June 2013, and market interest rates may continue to rise if the Federal Reserve follows through with its current tapering policy. Increases in market interest rates would increase our interest expense under our unhedged variable-rate borrowings and would increase the costs of refinancing existing indebtedness or obtaining new debt. In addition, increases in market interest rates may result in a decrease in the value of our real estate and a decrease in the market price of our common stock. Increases in market interest rates may also adversely affect the securities markets generally, which could reduce the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. Accordingly, unfavorable changes to our borrowing costs and stock price could significantly impact our ability to raise new debt and equity capital going forward.

In addition to the information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, one should also carefully review and consider the information contained in our other reports and periodic filings that we make with the SEC, including, without limitation, the information contained under the caption “Item 1A.  Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Those risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.  The risks that we describe in our public filings are not the only risks that we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we presently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
