VORNADO REALTY TRUST

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.     Organization

Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully‑integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through, and all of its interests in properties are held by, Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).  Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 93.6% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2016.  All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

2.    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.  All inter-company amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC.

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

3.    Recently Issued Accounting Literature

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB”) issued an update ("ASU 2014-09") establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).  ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance.  ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.  In August 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-14”) to ASC 606, Deferral of the Effective Date , which defers the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017.  In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-08”) to ASC 606, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) , which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue recognition standard pursuant to ASU 2014-09.  In April 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-10”) to ASC 606, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in ASU 2014-09.  In May 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-12”) to ASC 606, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients , which amends certain aspects of the new revenue recognition standard pursuant to ASU 2014-09.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these ASUs on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-12”) to ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).  ASU 2014-12 requires an entity to treat performance targets that can be met after the requisite service period of a share based award has ended, as a performance condition that affects vesting.  ASU 2014-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that began after December 15, 2015.  The adoption of this update as of January 1, 2016, did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3.    Recently Issued Accounting Literature - continued

In February 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-02”) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation .  ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities.  Specifically, the amendments: (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities.  ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  The adoption of this update on January 1, 2016 resulted in the identification of additional VIEs, but did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements other than additional disclosures (see Note 13 - Variable Interest Entities ) .

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-01”) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities to ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments .  ASU 2016-01 amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments, including the requirement to measure certain equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.  ASU 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued (“ASU 2016-02”) Leases , which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors.  ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase.  Lessees are required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases.  Lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases.  The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-09”) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting to ASC 718.  ASU 2016-09 amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

4.    Acquisitions

On May 20, 2016, we contributed $19,650,000 for a 50.0% equity interest in a joint venture that will develop a 33,000 square foot office and retail building, located on Houston Street in Manhattan.  The development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $104,000,000.  At closing, the joint venture obtained a $65,000,000 construction loan, of which approximately $22,100,000 was outstanding at June 30, 2016.  The loan, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% (3.47% at June 30, 2016), matures in May 2019 with two one-year extension options.  Because this joint venture is a VIE and we determined we are the primary beneficiary, we consolidate the accounts of this joint venture from the date of our investment.

5.     Real Estate Fund Investments

We are the general partner and investment manager of Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”), which has an eight-year term and a three-year investment period that ended in July 2013. During the investment period, the Fund was our exclusive investment vehicle for all investments that fit within its investment parameters, as defined.  The Fund is accounted for under ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings.  We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.

We are also the general partner and investment manager of Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel Co-Investment (the “Co-Investment”), which owns a 24.7% interest in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel.  The Fund owns the remaining 75.3% interest.  The Co-Investment is also accounted for under ASC 946.  We consolidate the accounts of the Co-Investment into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.

At June 30, 2016, we had six real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $524,150,000, or $215,215,000 in excess of cost, and had remaining unfunded commitments of $117,907,000, of which our share was $34,522,000.  Below is a summary of income from the Fund and the Co-Investment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX)

As of June 30, 2016, we own 1,654,068 Alexander’s common shares, representing a 32.4% interest in Alexander’s.  We account for our investment in Alexander’s under the equity method.  We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable.

As of June 30, 2016, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”)) of our investment in Alexander’s, based on Alexander’s June 30, 2016 closing share price of $409.23, was $676,894,000, or $547,099,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.  As of June 30, 2016, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s, excluding amounts owed to us, exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $39,786,000.  The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common stock acquired over the book value of Alexander’s net assets.  Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Alexander’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings).  We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives.  This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income.  The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

Urban Edge Properties (“UE”) (NYSE: UE)

As of June 30, 2016, we own 5,717,184 UE operating partnership units, representing a 5.4% ownership interest in UE.  We account for our investment in UE under the equity method and record our share of UE’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis.  During 2015, we provided transition services to UE, primarily for information technology, human resources, tax and financial planning.  In 2016, we continue to provide UE information technology support.  UE is providing us with leasing and property management services for (i) certain small retail properties that we plan to sell, and (ii) our affiliate, Alexander’s, Rego Park retail assets.  As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of our investment in UE, based on UE’s June 30, 2016 closing share price of $29.86, was $170,715,000, or $146,847,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“PREIT”) (NYSE: PEI)

As of June 30, 2016, we own 6,250,000 PREIT operating partnership units, representing an 8.0% interest in PREIT.  We account for our investment in PREIT under the equity method and record our share of PREIT’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis.  As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of our investment in PREIT, based on PREIT’s June 30, 2016 closing share price of $21.45, was $134,063,000, or $8,241,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.  As of June 30, 2016, the carrying amount of our investment in PREIT exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of PREIT by approximately $64,712,000.  The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of the fair value of the PREIT operating units received over our share of the book value of PREIT’s net assets.  Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of PREIT’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings).  We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives.  This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in PREIT’s net loss.  The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

One Park Avenue

On March 7, 2016, the joint venture in which we have a 55% ownership interest, completed a $300,000,000 refinancing of One Park Avenue, a 947,000 square foot Manhattan office building.  The loan matures in March 2021 and is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.75% (2.21% at June 30, 2016).  The property was previously encumbered by a 4.995%, $250,000,000 mortgage which matured in March 2016.

Mezzanine Loan – New York

On March 17, 2016, we entered into a joint venture, in which we own a 33.3% interest, which owns a $142,050,000 mezzanine loan.  The interest rate is LIBOR plus 8.875% (9.32% at June 30, 2016) and the debt matures in November 2016, with two three-month extension options.  At June 30, 2016, the joint venture has a $7,950,000 remaining commitment, of which our share is $2,650,000.  The joint venture’s investment is subordinate to $350,000,000 of third party debt.  We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method.

On May 16, 2016, we completed a $300,000,000 recourse financing of 7 West 34th Street, a 477,000 square foot Manhattan office building leased to Amazon.  The ten-year loan is interest only at a fixed rate of 3.65% and matures in June 2026.  Subsequently, on May 27, 2016, we sold a 47% ownership interest in this property and retained the remaining 53% interest.  This transaction was based on a property value of approximately $561,000,000 or $1,176 per square foot.  We received net proceeds of $127,382,000 from the sale and realized a net gain of $203,324,000, of which $159,511,000 is recognized this quarter and is included in “net gain on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets” in our consolidated statements of income.  The remaining net gain of $43,813,000 has been deferred until our guarantee of payment of loan principal and interest has been removed or the loan has been repaid.   We realized a net tax gain of $90,017,000.  We continue to manage and lease the property.  We share control over major decisions with our joint venture partner.  Accordingly, this property is accounted for under the equity method from the date of sale.

10.    Debt

On February 8, 2016, we completed a $700,000,000 refinancing of 770 Broadway, a 1,158,000 square foot Manhattan office building.  The five-year loan is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.75%, (2.21% at June 30, 2016) which was swapped for four and a half years to a fixed rate of 2.56%.  The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $330,000,000.  The property was previously encumbered by a 5.65%, $353,000,000 mortgage which matured in March 2016.

On March 15, 2016, we notified the servicer of the $678,000,000 mortgage loan on the Skyline properties in Virginia that cash flow will be insufficient to service the debt and pay other property related costs and expenses and that we were not willing to fund additional cash shortfalls.  Accordingly, at our request, the loan has been transferred to the special servicer. Consequently, based on our shortened estimated holding period for the underlying assets, we concluded that the excess of carrying amount over our estimate of fair value was not recoverable and recognized a $160,700,000 non-cash impairment loss in the first quarter of 2016.  The Company’s estimate of fair value was derived from a discounted cash flow model based upon market conditions and expectations of growth and utilized unobservable quantitative inputs including a capitalization rate of 8.0% and a discount rate of 8.2%.  In the second quarter of 2016, cash flow became insufficient to service the debt and we ceased making debt service payments.  Pursuant to the loan agreement, the loan is in default, causing the loan to be immediately due and payable, and is subject to incremental default interest which increased the weighted average interest rate from 2.97% to 4.51% while the outstanding balance remains unpaid. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we accrued $2,711,000 of default interest expense.  We continue to negotiate with the special servicer.  There can be no assurance as to the timing or ultimate resolution of this matter.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests exclude our Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity , because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares.  Accordingly, the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $50,561,000 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.    Changes in the value from period to period, if any, are charged to “interest and debt expense” in our consolidated statements of income.

13.    Variable Interest Entities

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we have several unconsolidated VIEs.  We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect these entities’ economic performance.  We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method (see Note 7 – Investments in Partially Owned Entities ).  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the net carrying amounts of our investment in these entities were $394,866,000 and $379,939,000, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities, is limited to our investments.

We adopted ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016 which resulted in the identification of several VIEs at June 30, 2016.  Prior to the adoption of ASU 2015-02, these entities were consolidated under the voting interest model.  Our most significant consolidated VIEs are our Operating Partnership, real estate fund investments, and certain properties that have non-controlling interests.  These entities are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights.  We consolidate these entities because we control all significant business activities.

We conduct our business through, and all of our assets and liabilities are held by, our Operating Partnership which is a VIE.

14.    Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.  The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.  Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) real estate fund investments, (iii) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheet), (iv) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units), and (v) interest rate swaps.  The tables below aggregate the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities by their levels in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis - continued

Real Estate Fund Investments

At June 30, 2016, we had six real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $524,150,000, or $215,215,000 in excess of cost.  These investments are classified as Level 3.  We use a discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of each of these investments, which is updated quarterly by personnel responsible for the management of each investment and reviewed by senior management at each reporting period.  The discounted cash flow valuation technique requires us to estimate cash flows for each investment over the anticipated holding period, which currently ranges from 1.0 to 4.5 years.  Cash flows are derived from property rental revenue (base rents plus reimbursements) less operating expenses, real estate taxes and capital and other costs, plus projected sales proceeds in the year of exit.  Property rental revenue is based on leases currently in place and our estimates for future leasing activity, which are based on current market rents for similar space plus a projected growth factor.  Similarly, estimated operating expenses and real estate taxes are based on amounts incurred in the current period plus a projected growth factor for future periods.  Anticipated sales proceeds at the end of an investment’s expected holding period are determined based on the net cash flow of the investment in the year of exit, divided by a terminal capitalization rate, less estimated selling costs.

The fair value of each property is calculated by discounting the future cash flows (including the projected sales proceeds), using an appropriate discount rate and then reduced by the property’s outstanding debt, if any, to determine the fair value of the equity in each investment. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of each investment include capitalization rates and discount rates.  These rates are based on the location, type and nature of each property, and current and anticipated market conditions, industry publications and from the experience of our Acquisitions and Capital Markets departments.  Significant unobservable quantitative inputs in the table below were utilized in determining the fair value of these real estate fund investments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The above inputs are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions and/or changes in use or timing of exit.  Changes in discount rates and terminal capitalization rates result in increases or decreases in the fair values of these investments.  The discount rates encompass, among other things, uncertainties in the valuation models with respect to terminal capitalization rates and the amount and timing of cash flows.  Therefore, a change in the fair value of these investments resulting from a change in the terminal capitalization rate, may be partially offset by a change in the discount rate.  It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values.

The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of real estate fund investments that are classified as Level 3, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis - continued

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets

Deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3 consist of investments in limited partnerships and investment funds, which are managed by third parties.  We receive quarterly financial reports from a third-party administrator, which are compiled from the quarterly reports provided to them from each limited partnership and investment fund.  The quarterly reports provide net asset values on a fair value basis which are audited by independent public accounting firms on an annual basis.  The third-party administrator does not adjust these values in determining our share of the net assets and we do not adjust these values when reported in our consolidated financial statements.

The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

14.    Fair Value Measurements – continued

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents (primarily money market funds, which invest in obligations of the United States government), and our secured and unsecured debt.  Estimates of the fair value of these instruments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting them back to their present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate, which is provided by a third-party specialist.  For floating rate debt, we use forward rates derived from observable market yield curves to project the expected cash flows we would be required to make under the instrument.  The fair value of cash equivalents and borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facilities and unsecured term loan are classified as Level 1.  The fair value of our secured and unsecured debt is classified as Level 2.  The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

20.          Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $180,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. We maintain coverage for terrorism acts with limits of $4.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate, and $2.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, which expires in December 2020.

Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of all risk property and rental value insurance and a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage, and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism including NBCR acts. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $2,400,000 per occurrence and 16% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 84% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism.  However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future.

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.

Generally, our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.  However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space.  These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.  As of June 30, 2016, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $857,000,000.

At June 30, 2016, $38,576,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities.  Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

As of June 30, 2016, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $70,000,000.

As of June 30, 2016, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $721,173,000.

21.    Segment Information – continued

Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)

EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization."  We consider EBITDA a non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

(2)

Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense (benefit) in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Vornado Realty Trust

New York, New York

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and changes in equity and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 16, 2016, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity .  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward‑looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.  We also note the following forward-looking statements: in the case of our development and redevelopment projects, the estimated completion date, estimated project cost and cost to complete; and estimates of future capital expenditures, dividends to common and preferred shareholders and operating partnership distributions.  Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2015.  For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.  Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.

Overview

Business Objective and Operating Strategy

Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value, which we measure by the total return provided to our shareholders. Below is a table comparing our performance to the FTSE NAREIT Office Index (“Office REIT”) and the MSCI US REIT Index (“MSCI”) for the following periods ended June 30, 2016:

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

We intend to achieve our business objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and executing our operating strategies through:

· Maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit

· Investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City and Washington, DC, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation

· Acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents

· Investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area

· Developing and redeveloping existing properties to increase returns and maximize value

· Investing in operating companies that have a significant real estate component

We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets.  We may also offer Vornado common or preferred shares or Operating Partnership units in exchange for property and may repurchase or otherwise reacquire these securities in the future.

We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, sales prices, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the global, national, regional and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation, population and employment trends.  See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2015, for additional information regarding these factors.

Overview – continued

2016 Investments

On March 17, 2016, we entered into a joint venture, in which we own a 33.3% interest, which owns a $142,050,000 mezzanine loan.  The interest rate is LIBOR plus 8.875% (9.32% at June 30, 2016) and the debt matures in November 2016, with two three-month extension options.  At June 30, 2016, the joint venture has a $7,950,000 remaining commitment, of which our share is $2,650,000.  The joint venture’s investment is subordinate to $350,000,000 of third party debt.  We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method.

On May 20, 2016, we contributed $19,650,000 for a 50.0% equity interest in a joint venture that will develop a 33,000 square foot office and retail building, located on Houston Street in Manhattan.  The development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $104,000,000.  At closing, the joint venture obtained a $65,000,000 construction loan, of which approximately $22,100,000 was outstanding at June 30, 2016.  The loan, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% (3.47% at June 30, 2016), matures in May 2019 with two one-year extension options.  Because this joint venture is a VIE and we determined we are the primary beneficiary, we consolidate the accounts of this joint venture from the date of our investment.

2016 Dispositions

On May 27, 2016, we sold a 47% ownership interest in 7 West 34th Street, a 477,000 square foot Manhattan office building leased to Amazon, and retained the remaining 53% interest.  This transaction was based on a property value of approximately $561,000,000 or $1,176 per square foot.  We received net proceeds of $127,382,000 from the sale and realized a net gain of $203,324,000, of which $159,511,000 is recognized this quarter and is included in “net gain on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets” in our consolidated statements of income.  The remaining net gain of $43,813,000 has been deferred until our guarantee of payment of loan principal and interest has been removed or the loan has been repaid.  We realized a net tax gain of $90,017,000.   We continue to manage and lease the property.  We share control over major decisions with our joint venture partner.  Accordingly, this property is accounted for under the equity method from the date of sale.

2016 Financings

On February 8, 2016, we completed a $700,000,000 refinancing of 770 Broadway, a 1,158,000 square foot Manhattan office building.  The five-year loan is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.75%, (2.21% at June 30, 2016) which was swapped for four and a half years to a fixed rate of 2.56%.  The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $330,000,000.  The property was previously encumbered by a 5.65%, $353,000,000 mortgage which matured in March 2016.

On March 7, 2016, the joint venture in which we have a 55% ownership interest, completed a $300,000,000 refinancing of One Park Avenue, a 947,000 square foot Manhattan office building.  The loan matures in March 2021 and is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.75% (2.21% at June 30, 2016).  The property was previously encumbered by a 4.995%, $250,000,000 mortgage which matured in March 2016.

On May 6, 2016, the joint venture in which we have a 55% ownership interest, completed a $273,000,000 refinancing of The Warner Building, a 621,000 square foot Washington, DC office building.  The loan matures in June 2023, has a fixed rate of 3.65%, is interest only for the first two years and amortizes based on a 30-year schedule beginning in year three. The property was previously encumbered by a 6.26%, $293,000,000 mortgage which matured in May 2016.

On May 11, 2016, the joint venture in which we have a 50% ownership interest, completed a $900,000,000 refinancing of 280 Park Avenue, a 1,250,000 square foot Manhattan office building.  The three-year loan with four one-year extensions is interest only at LIBOR plus 2.00%, (2.45% at June 30, 2016).  The property was previously encumbered by a 6.35%, $721,000,000 mortgage which was scheduled to mature in June 2016.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB”) issued an update ("ASU 2014-09") establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).  ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance.  ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.  In August 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-14”) to ASC 606, Deferral of the Effective Date , which defers the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017.  In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-08”) to ASC 606, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) , which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue recognition standard pursuant to ASU 2014-09.  In April 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-10”) to ASC 606, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in ASU 2014-09.  In May 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-12”) to ASC 606, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients , which amends certain aspects of the new revenue recognition standard pursuant to ASU 2014-09.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these ASUs on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-12”) to ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).  ASU 2014-12 requires an entity to treat performance targets that can be met after the requisite service period of a share based award has ended, as a performance condition that affects vesting.  ASU 2014-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that began after December 15, 2015.  The adoption of this update as of January 1, 2016, did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-02”) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation .  ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities.  Specifically, the amendments: (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities.  ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  The adoption of this update on January 1, 2016 resulted in the identification of additional VIEs, but did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements other than additional disclosures .

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-01”) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities to ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments .  ASU 2016-01 amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments, including the requirement to measure certain equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.  ASU 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued (“ASU 2016-02”) Leases , which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors.  ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase.  Lessees are required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases.  Lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases.  The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-09”) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting to ASC 718.  ASU 2016-09 amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

Washington, DC Segment

EBITDA, as adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2016, was $9,132,000 behind the prior year's six months, and consistent with our expected results for the first half of the year.  We expect that Washington’s 2016 EBITDA, as adjusted, will be approximately $7,000,000 to $11,000,000 lower than 2015, comprised of:

(i) core business being flat to $4,000,000 higher, offset by,

(ii) occupancy of Skyline properties declining further, decreasing EBITDA by approximately $6,500,000, and

(iii) 1726 M Street and 1150 17th Street being taken out of service (to prepare for the development in the future of a new Class A office building) decreasing EBITDA by approximately $4,500,000.

Of the 2,395,000 square feet subject to the effects of the Base Realignment and Closure (“BRAC”) statute, 348,000 square feet has been taken out of service for redevelopment, and 1,462,000 square feet has been leased or is pending.  The table below summarizes the status of the BRAC space as of June 30, 2016.

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 - continued

Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)

EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization."  We consider EBITDA a non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

(2)

Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense (benefit) in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to June 30, 2015 - continued

Interest and Other Investment Income, net

Interest and other investment income, net was $10,236,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $5,666,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $4,570,000. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the value of investments in our deferred compensation plan (offset by a corresponding decrease in the liability for plan assets in general and administrative expenses).

Interest and Debt Expense

Interest and debt expense was $105,576,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $92,092,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $13,484,000.  This increase was primarily due to (i) $6,937,000 of higher interest expense from the financings of the St. Regis Retail, 150 West 34 th Street, 100 West 33 rd Street, and our $750,000,000 delayed draw term loan, (ii) $4,335,000 of lower capitalized interest, and (iii) $2,711,000 of accrued default interest on our Skyline properties mortgage loan which has been transferred to the special servicer at our request.

Net Gain on Disposition of Wholly Owned and Partially Owned Assets

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized a $159,511,000 net gain from the sale of a 47% ownership interest in 7 West 34th Street.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit

In the three months ended June 30, 2016, income tax expense was $2,109,000, compared to an income tax benefit of $88,072,000 for the prior year’s quarter, an increase in expense of $90,181,000.  This increase in expense resulted primarily from the prior year reversal of the valuation allowances against certain of our deferred tax assets, as we have concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that we will generate sufficient taxable income from the sale of 220 Central Park South residential condominium units to realize the deferred tax assets.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

We have reclassified the revenues and expenses of the UE portfolio and other retail properties that were sold or are currently held for sale to “income (loss) from discontinued operations” and the related assets and liabilities to “assets related to discontinued operations” and “liabilities related to discontinued operations” for all the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements. The table below sets forth the combined results of assets related to discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries was $13,025,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $19,186,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $6,161,000.  This decrease resulted primarily from lower net income allocated to the noncontrolling interests, including noncontrolling interests of our real estate fund investments.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership was $14,531,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $10,198,000 for the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $4,333,000.  This increase resulted primarily from higher net income subject to allocation to unitholders.

Preferred Share Dividends

Preferred share dividends were $20,363,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $20,365,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $2,000.

Same Store EBITDA

Same store EBITDA represents EBITDA from property level operations which are owned by us in both the current and prior year reporting periods.  Same store EBITDA excludes segment-level overhead expenses, which are expenses that we do not consider to be property-level expenses, as well as other non-operating items.  We also present same store EBITDA on a cash basis which excludes income from the straight-lining of rents, amortization of below-market leases, net of above-market leases and other non-cash adjustments. We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers.  Same store EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Below are reconciliations of EBITDA to same store EBITDA for each of our segments for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 - continued

Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)

EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization."  We consider EBITDA a non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

(2)

Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense (benefit) in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

On March 15, 2016, we notified the servicer of the $678,000 mortgage loan on the Skyline properties in Virginia that cash flow will be insufficient to service the debt and pay other property related costs and expenses and that we were not willing to fund additional cash shortfalls.  Accordingly, at our request, the loan has been transferred to the special servicer. Consequently, based on our shortened estimated holding period for the underlying assets, we concluded that the excess of carrying amount over our estimate of fair value was not recoverable and recognized a $160,700 non-cash impairment loss in the first quarter of 2016.  The Company’s estimate of fair value was derived from a discounted cash flow model based upon market conditions and expectations of growth and utilized unobservable quantitative inputs including a capitalization rate of 8.0% and a discount rate of 8.2%.

Results of Operations – Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to June 30, 2015 - continued

Interest and Other Investment Income, net

Interest and other investment income, net was $13,754,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $16,458,000 for the prior year’s six months, a decrease of $2,704,000.  This decrease resulted primarily from a $2,463,000 decrease in interest on loans receivable as a result of lower outstanding loan balances.

Interest and Debt Expense

Interest and debt expense was $206,065,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $183,766,000 for the prior year’s six months, an increase of $22,299,000.  This increase was primarily due to (i) $13,634,000 of higher interest expense from the financings of the St. Regis Retail, 150 West 34 th Street, 100 West 33 rd Street, and our $750,000,000 delayed draw term loan, (ii) $6,374,000 of lower capitalized interest, and (iii) $2,711,000 of accrued default interest on our Skyline properties mortgage loan which has been transferred to the special servicer at our request.

Net Gain on Disposition of Wholly Owned and Partially Owned Assets

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized a $160,225,000 net gain on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets, primarily from the sale of a 47% ownership interest in 7 West 34th Street and net gains from the sale of residential condominiums, compared to $1,860,000 for the prior year’s six months, primarily from the sale of residential condominiums.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, income tax expense was $4,940,000, compared to an income tax benefit of $87,101,000 for the prior year’s six months, an increase in expense of  $92,041,000.  This increase in expense resulted primarily from the prior year reversal of the valuation allowances against certain of our deferred tax assets, as we have concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that we will generate sufficient taxable income from the sale of 220 Central Park South residential condominium units to realize the deferred tax assets.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries was $22,703,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $35,068,000 for the prior year’s six months, a decrease of $12,365,000.  This decrease resulted primarily from lower net income allocated to the noncontrolling interests, including noncontrolling interests of our real estate fund investments.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership was $7,044,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $15,485,000 for the prior year’s six months, a decrease of $8,441,000.  This decrease resulted primarily from lower net income subject to allocation to unitholders.

Preferred Share Dividends

Preferred share dividends were $40,727,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $39,849,000 for the prior year’s six months, an increase of $878,000.

Same Store EBITDA

Same store EBITDA represents EBITDA from property level operations which are owned by us in both the current and prior year reporting periods.  Same store EBITDA excludes segment-level overhead expenses, which are expenses that we do not consider to be property-level expenses, as well as other non-operating items.  We also present same store EBITDA on a cash basis which excludes income from the straight-lining of rents, amortization of below-market leases, net of above-market leases and other non-cash adjustments.  We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers.  Same store EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.   Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, dividends to shareholders, distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, as well as acquisition and development costs.  Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, and our revolving credit facilities, proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity, and asset sales.

We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures.  Capital requirements for development expenditures and acquisitions may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings.

We may from time to time purchase or retire outstanding debt securities or redeem our equity securities.  Such purchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors.  The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of 2016, we notified the servicer of the $678,000,000 mortgage loan on the Skyline properties in Virginia that cash flow will be insufficient to service the debt and pay other property related costs and expenses and that we were not willing to fund additional cash shortfalls.  Accordingly, at our request, the loan has been transferred to the special servicer.  In the second quarter of 2016, cash flow became insufficient to service the debt and we ceased making debt service payments.  Pursuant to the loan agreement, the loan is in default, causing the loan to be immediately due and payable, and is subject to incremental default interest  which increased the weighted average interest rate from 2.97% to 4.51% while the outstanding balance remains unpaid.  This loan is recourse only to the Skyline properties.  Accordingly, this default has not had, nor is expected to have, any material impact on our current or future business operations, our ability to raise capital or our credit ratings.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we accrued $2,711,000 of default interest expense.  We continue to negotiate with the special servicer.  There can be no assurance as to the timing or ultimate resolution of this matter.



Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Our cash and cash equivalents were $1,644,067,000 at June 30, 2016, a $191,640,000 decrease from the balance at December 31, 2015.  Our consolidated outstanding debt was $11,078,771,000 at June 30, 2016, a $12,239,000 decrease from the balance at December 31, 2015.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $115,630,000 and $550,000,000, respectively, was outstanding under our revolving credit facilities.  During the remainder of 2016 and 2017, $1,288,394,000 and $362,058,000, respectively, of our outstanding debt matures; we may refinance this maturing debt as it comes due or choose to repay it.

Development and Redevelopment Expenditures for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Development and redevelopment expenditures consist of all hard and soft costs associated with the development or redevelopment of a property, including capitalized interest, debt and operating costs until the property is substantially completed and ready for its intended use.  Our development project budgets below include initial leasing costs, which are reflected as non-recurring capital expenditures in the table above.

We are constructing a residential condominium tower containing 397,000 salable square feet on our 220 Central Park South development site.  The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $1.3 billion, of which $446,000,000 has been expended as of June 30, 2016.

We are developing The Bartlett, a 699-unit residential project in Pentagon City, which is expected to be completed in 2016.  The project will include a 40,000 square foot Whole Foods Market at the base of the building.  The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $250,000,000, of which $210,000,000 has been expended as of June 30, 2016.

We are developing a 173,000 square foot Class-A office building, located along the western edge of the High Line at 512 West 22nd Street in the West Chelsea submarket of Manhattan (55.0% owned).  The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $130,000,000, of which our share is $72,000,000.  As of June 30, 2016 , $20,000,000 has been expended, of which our share is $11,000,000.

We are developing 61 Ninth Avenue, located on the Southwest corner of Ninth Avenue and 15th Street in the West Chelsea submarket of Manhattan.  In February 2016, the venture purchased an adjacent five story loft building and air rights in exchange for a 10% common and preferred equity interest in the venture valued at $19,400,000, which reduced our ownership interest to 45.1% from 50.1%.  The venture’s current plans are to construct an office building, with retail at the base, of approximately 167,000 square feet.  The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $150,000,000, of which our share is $68,000,000.  As of June 30, 2016 , $18,000,000 has been expended, of which our share is $8,000,000.

We are developing a 33,000 square foot office and retail building, located on Houston Street in Manhattan (50.0% owned).   The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $60,000,000, of which our share is $30,000,000.  As of June 30, 2016 , $16,000,000 has been expended, of which our share is $8,000,000.

We plan to demolish two adjacent Washington, DC office properties, 1726 M Street and 1150 17th Street in 2016 and replace them in the future with a new 335,000 square foot Class A office building, to be addressed 1700 M Street.  The incremental development cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $170,000,000.

We are also evaluating other development and redevelopment opportunities at certain of our properties in Manhattan, including the Penn Plaza District, and in Washington, including Crystal City, Rosslyn and Pentagon City.

There can be no assurance that any of our development or redevelopment projects will commence, or if commenced, be completed, or completed on schedule or within budget.

Below is a summary of development and redevelopment expenditures incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  These expenditures include interest of $16,438,000, payroll of $6,401,000 and other soft costs (primarily architectural and engineering fees, permits, real estate taxes and professional fees) aggregating $30,224,000, that were capitalized in connection with the development and redevelopment of these projects.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.

Generally, our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.  However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space.  These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.  As of June 30, 2016, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $857,000,000.

At June 30, 2016, $38,576,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities.  Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

As of June 30, 2016, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $70,000,000.

As of June 30, 2016, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $721,173,000.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciated real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets and other specified non-cash items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries.  FFO and FFO per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions.  FFO does not represent net income and should not be considered an alternative to net income as a performance measure.  FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.  The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of income per share are disclosed in Note 19 – Income per Share , in our consolidated financial statements on page 26 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

FFO for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $229,432,000, or $1.21 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $323,381,000, or $1.71 per diluted share, for the prior year’s three months.  FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $433,104,000, or $2.28 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $544,305,000, or $2.87 per diluted share, for the prior year’s six months.  Details of certain adjustments to FFO are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview”.

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. As of June 30, 2016, we have an interest rate swap on a $415,000,000 mortgage loan on Two Penn Plaza that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 1.65% (2.11% at June 30, 2016) to a fixed rate of 4.78% through March 2018 and an interest swap on a $375,000,000 mortgage loan on 888 Seventh Avenue that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 1.60% (2.06% at June 30, 2016) to a fixed rate of 3.15% through December 2020.

In connection with the $700,000,000 refinancing of 770 Broadway, we entered into an interest rate swap from LIBOR plus 1.75% (2.21% at June 30, 2016) to a fixed rate of 2.56% through September 2020.

Fair Value of Debt

The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt.  As of June 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $10,662,000,000.
