Forest City Reports Fiscal 2009 Third-Quarter and Year-to-Date Results

CLEVELAND, Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Forest City Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: FCEA and FCEB), today announced EBDT, net earnings and revenues for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2009.

EBDT

Third-quarter EBDT (earnings before depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes) was $85.6 million, a 94.0 percent increase compared with 2008 third-quarter EBDT of $44.1 million. Year-to-date EBDT was $222.7 million, a 50.0 percent increase compared with $148.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008.

On a per share basis, third-quarter 2009 EBDT was $0.52, a 23.8 percent increase compared with 2008 third quarter EBDT of $0.42. Year-to-date per share EBDT was $1.59, a 14.4 percent increase compared with $1.39 per share for the first nine months of 2008. Per-share data for both the third quarter and nine months of 2009 reflect the dilutive effect of new Class A common shares issued by the Company during the second quarter of 2009, and the "if-converted" effect of two convertible debt transactions executed during the third quarter.

For an explanation of EBDT variances, see the section titled "Review of Results" in this news release. EBDT and EBDT per share are non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measures. A reconciliation of net earnings (the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBDT) to EBDT is provided in the Financial Highlights table in this news release.

Net Loss

The third-quarter net loss attributable to Forest City Enterprises, Inc. was $4.4 million, or $0.03 per share, compared with a net loss of $19.1 million, or $0.19 per share, in the third quarter of 2008. Net loss for the nine months ended October 31, 2009, was $36.9 million, or $0.27 per share, compared with $67.9 million, or $0.66 per share for the same period in 2008. In addition to the items discussed below that impacted EBDT and net loss, the net loss was also negatively impacted by increased impairment charges of $14.4 million for the third quarter (primarily related to the write-down of certain land holdings and to the impairment, prior to sale, of two assisted-living residential properties) and $25.4 million for the first nine months of 2009.

Revenues

Third-quarter 2009 consolidated revenues were $306.1 million compared with $330.4 million last year. Revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 2009, were $932.9 million compared with $960.0 million for the comparable period in 2008. The year-over-year revenue variance was impacted primarily by lower land sales and by reduced construction and development fee income from military housing, as early development phases were completed.

Liquidity

"For more than a year now, nearly every major action we've taken as a Company has been focused on improving liquidity and strengthening our balance sheet," said Charles A Ratner, Forest City president and chief executive officer. "Today, liquidity remains our highest priority. Since the beginning of the third quarter, we have executed a successful private debt exchange, issued and closed a new convertible debt offering, and reached agreement with our bank group on the principal terms of a new, two-year $500 million credit facility. These achievements, together with the equity offering we executed in the second quarter, have contributed to significantly increasing liquidity and managing near-term debt maturities."

At October 31, 2009, the Company had $333 million ($322 million at full consolidation) in cash on its balance sheet, and $646 million of available capacity on its revolving line of credit. The available capacity will be reduced by approximately $250 million upon the closing of the Company's new credit facility, which is anticipated by year end.

Review of Results

Third-quarter EBDT

For the three months ended October 31, 2009, the Company's core portfolio of rental properties (Commercial and Residential Segments), provided a pre-tax EBDT increase of $36.9 million, compared with the same period in 2008. Among the factors contributing to this increase were a $24.2 million gain on early extinguishment of nonrecourse mortgage debt primarily related to an underperforming retail property; $8.7 million in decreased write-offs of abandoned development projects, $6.6 million in lower interest expense on the mature portfolio; and $3.1 million in increased EBDT from the ramp-up of new properties. EBDT was also favorably impacted by expense reductions implemented over the past 12 months.

These increases in the portfolio were partially offset by third-quarter 2008 lease termination fee income of $4.0 million, which did not recur in 2009 and decreased EBDT from military housing of $3.4 million compared with the third quarter of 2008.

Pre-tax EBDT results for the Land Segment were up $7.8 million compared with the same period in 2008, primarily as a result of the third-quarter 2008 charge of $12.4 million related to the Lehman Brothers, Inc. bankruptcy. Without this favorable variance, pre-tax EBDT from the land business was down $4.6 million compared with the third quarter of 2008, reflecting continued difficult conditions affecting the land business.

Results from the Company's Corporate and Nets segments, as well as the impact of taxes, were all relatively flat compared with results from the third quarter of 2008.

Year-to-date EBDT

(An exhibit illustrating factors impacting year-to-date 2009 EBDT results, compared with results for the first nine months of 2008, is available on the Investor Relations page of the Company's Web site: www.forestcity.net)

For the nine months ended October 31, 2009, the Commercial and Residential Segments combined provided a pre-tax EBDT increase of $64.2 million, compared with the same period in 2008. Significant factors contributing to the increase included $28.8 million for a gain on early extinguishment of debt, primarily related to an underperforming retail property, decreased write-offs of abandoned development projects of $17.8 million, decreased interest expense of $15.1 million on the mature portfolio, increased EBDT of $7.2 million from the ramp up of new properties, compared with the first nine months of 2008, and increased income from the sale of tax credits of $4.2 million. The balance of the increase ($13.7 million) is comprised of expense reductions implemented over the past 12 months, an increase in capitalized interest and miscellaneous other items.

Partially offsetting these positive portfolio factors were $12.2 million in 2008 lease termination fee income which did not recur in 2009, decreased pre-tax EBDT from military housing of $7.1 million, and $3.3 million in reduced EBDT from properties sold.

The Land Segment provided a pre-tax EBDT increase of $13.6 million, compared with the first nine months of 2008. This positive variance was driven by the previously mentioned third-quarter 2008 charge related to the Lehman Brothers, Inc. bankruptcy, and a gain on early extinguishment of nonrecourse mortgage debt of $11.3 million. Without the impact of these items, the Land Segment was down approximately $10.1 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared with the same period in 2008.

Corporate pre-tax EBDT decreased $11.8 million and was impacted by severance expense of $8.7 million and increased corporate interest expense of $12.2 million, which were partially offset by corporate expense reductions of $8.0 million. Nine-month EBDT results also reflect a larger tax benefit of $6.3 million, compared with the first nine months of 2008, as a result of ongoing tax management initiatives.

Commentary

"Third-quarter EBDT results significantly exceeded our expectations as a result of lower interest expense, and transactional factors and non-recurring charges, including early extinguishment of debt and reduced development write-offs," said Ratner. "Absent the impact of these items, the performance of our portfolio of rental properties was essentially flat compared with 2008, both for the quarter and nine months, in line with our expectations. Given the severity of the recession and conditions impacting the entire real estate industry, these results show that our overall portfolio is holding its own under very difficult circumstances.

"We continue to see generally weak fundamentals in the overall marketplace, particularly in retail and residential, and the land business continues to struggle. Our office portfolio has experienced gains primarily from the lease-up of previously vacant space, and the life science portfolio continues to show strength. Military housing, while down in year-over-year comparisons, continues to be a meaningful contributor to our results. Overall comparable property net operating income remains roughly even with our year-to-date results for 2008, reflecting both the quality of the markets in which our properties are located and the diversity of product types within our portfolio. We also benefited from contributions from new properties that have been completed and opened in the past 12 months."

NOI, Occupancies and Rent

Overall comparable property net operating income (NOI) increased 0.8 percent during the third quarter compared with the same period a year ago. The office portfolio was up 5.6 percent, while the retail and residential portfolios were down 1.7 percent and 3.9 percent, respectively. For the year to date, overall comparable property NOI increased 0.1 percent compared with the first nine months of 2008. The office portfolio increased 6.2 percent, while the retail and residential portfolios were down 2.0 percent and 3.3 percent, respectively.

Comparable property NOI, defined as NOI from properties operated in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2009, and 2008, is a non-GAAP financial measure, and is based on the pro-rata consolidation method, also a non-GAAP financial measure. Included in this release is a schedule that presents comparable property NOI on the full-consolidation method.

At October 31, 2009, comparable retail occupancies were 90.1 percent, compared with 91.6 percent at October 31, 2008, and regional mall sales averaged $392 per square foot on a rolling 12-month basis. Comparable office occupancies decreased to 89.4 percent, compared with 90.0 percent last year. Comparable average occupancies for the nine months ended October 31, 2009, in the residential business were 90.4 percent, compared with 92.4 percent last year. Comparable residential net rental income (defined as gross rent less vacancies and concessions) decreased to 87.3 percent, compared with 90.2 percent in the same period in 2008.

Financing Activity

On November 18, 2009, Forest City announced that it reached an agreement on the principal terms of a new, two-year, $500 million revolving credit facility with its 15-member bank group. All 14 members of the Company's prior bank group, along with one new bank, are part of the new facility. The new facility will replace Forest City's prior $750 million credit facility, which is scheduled to mature in March 2010. The new facility is expected to close by the end of the year.

Since January 31, 2009, the Company has addressed, through closed loans and committed financings, $637.0 million at full consolidation ($669.1 million at its pro-rata share) of the $826.6 million ($917.8 million at pro-rata) of net maturities (inclusive of notes payable) coming due in fiscal year 2009. Additionally, the Company addressed $970.5 million ($991.0 million at pro-rata) of loans maturing in future years, including borrowings that were outstanding at January 31, 2009, on the Company's revolving line of credit.

As of October 31, 2009, the Company's weighted average cost of mortgage debt decreased to 5.04 percent from 5.58 percent at October 31, 2008, primarily due to a decrease in variable-rate mortgage debt. Fixed-rate mortgage debt, which represented 70 percent of the Company's total nonrecourse mortgage debt, and is inclusive of interest rate swaps, increased from 6.05 percent at October 31, 2008, to 6.09 percent at October 31, 2009. Variable-rate mortgage debt decreased from 4.15 percent at October 31, 2008, to 2.55 percent at October 31, 2009.

Openings and Projects Under Construction

At the end of the third quarter, the Company had seven projects under construction with a total project cost of $2.1 billion at the Company's pro-rata share ($2.5 billion at full consolidation). Since the end of the quarter, Forest City officially opened the East River Plaza retail center with the first Costco in the borough of Manhattan. Costco's opening has received tremendous community support, both in terms of sales and new member sign-ups. East River Plaza is more than 90 percent leased and will also be home to Manhattan's first Target. Other tenants to open beginning in mid-2010 include Best Buy, Marshalls, PetSmart and Old Navy.

Also since the end of the third quarter, the Company has begun initial lease-up for the 365-unit 80 DeKalb residential rental community in Brooklyn. The leasing office and model units opened approximately three weeks ago and response has been strong, with hundreds of prospective tenants visiting the building. First tenant move-ins are expected by mid-December 2009.

Among projects currently under construction, activity continues in Hallandale Beach, Fla., at the 497,000-square-foot Village at Gulfstream Park retail center, where 85 percent of the retail space is leased. The property's grand opening is scheduled for February, 11, 2010.

In keeping with the stated strategy of curtailing additional new development, the Company has not commenced any new construction during 2009. This is in contrast to starts over the past three years, which have averaged approximately $1 billion at the Company's pro-rata share (approximately $865 million at full consolidation) each year. As previously stated, the Barclays Center arena at Atlantic Yards is the only major project on which the Company expects to commence construction yet this year.

Other Milestones

The Company achieved the following additional milestones either during the third quarter or subsequent to the end of the quarter:

  • As previously announced, since the beginning of the third quarter, the Company took several major actions to improve liquidity, strengthen its balance sheet and manage near-term maturities. On October 2, Forest City entered into separate, private agreements to exchange $167.4 million of the Company's Puttable Equity-Linked Senior Notes due 2011, for new notes due 2014. An additional $32.6 million of the new notes were also issued to certain of these investors. On October 26, Forest City issued $200 million of convertible senior notes due 2016. And on November 18, the Company announced an agreement with its bank group on the principal terms of a new, two-year, $500 million revolving credit facility to replace the existing facility, which matures in March 2010.
  • In late September, Forest City Ratner Companies, the Company's New York-based subsidiary, and Nets Sports and Entertainment signed a letter of intent with an affiliate of Onexim Group, an international private investment fund, to create a strategic partnership for the development of the Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn, and the Barclays Center arena, the planned home of the NBA's Nets. As part of the agreement, entities to be formed by Onexim Group will invest $200 million and make certain contingent funding commitments to acquire 45 percent of the arena project and 80 percent of the NBA team, and the right to purchase up to 20 percent of the Atlantic Yards Development Company, which will develop the non-arena real estate.
  • On November 24, the New York State Court of Appeals issued a key favorable ruling in a lawsuit related to the Company's Atlantic Yards development project in Brooklyn. The suit challenged the State's use of eminent domain related to the project. The court rejected the challenge in a 6-1 ruling, clearing a significant legal hurdle for the project. Subsequently, during the week of December 1, the major bond rating agencies issued investment-grade ratings for $500 million in tax-exempt bonds to finance a portion of the construction of the Barclays Center arena. Both of these events are major positive milestones for the overall project, and while challenges remain, they enable the project to move forward with an anticipated ground-breaking in the fourth quarter.
  • On December 2, Las Vegas City Council voted to move ahead with the financing and construction of a new City Hall, which the Company will develop on a fee basis. The City Hall project is part of the City's overall strategy to stimulate economic development in downtown Las Vegas, and also involves a land swap between the Company and the City for future development rights in the Symphony Park development district downtown.
  • In early September, Forest City Military Communities (FCMC) completed the first 68 homes in a new 141-home Navy Northwest Region neighborhood being developed in Lake Stevens, Washington. Having broken ground in February, FCMC completed the first phase of the project two months ahead of schedule.
  • In part because of its history of creating public/private partnerships, the Company has benefited in a number of instances from government actions to help stimulate the economy. Recent examples include:
    • A new interchange in Denver to serve our Stapleton project and the Northfield at Stapleton retail center. Financing for the interchange includes $12 million in federal stimulus money.
    • The previously mentioned Las Vegas fee-development project, where Build America Bonds, which were created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), will be used by the City to finance the majority of the project.
    • Federal stimulus-related efforts to create an efficient market for low-income housing tax credits for 80/20 residential projects, which make it easier for the Company to use the credits on existing or under-construction projects, including the recently opened Hamel Mill Lofts in Haverhill, Mass.
    • A $55 million allocation of New Market Tax Credits to the Company's community development entity. Thirty percent of this national program's overall funding for the latest round of allocations came from the ARRA.
    • A $1 million grant from the State of Ohio, funded by ARRA's State Energy Program, to install a photovoltaic rooftop system at one of the Company's major Cleveland-area residential properties.

Outlook

"We maintain the same cautious outlook that we have expressed for nearly two years now," Ratner said. "As we have said before, we are focused on liquidity as our highest priority, and we continue to adhere closely to the five strategies we implemented in 2008 to address economic and financial market conditions - enhancing liquidity from the portfolio and capital markets, proactively managing debt maturities, driving costs out of the business, curtailing future development, and taking advantage of opportunities created by market conditions.

"Our approach, as always, is to take a conservative course. We expect the fourth quarter of 2009 and all of 2010 to be challenging for our Company and for the entire industry.

"Despite this caution, we take comfort in the resilience that our people and our Company have demonstrated. We continue to execute on the strategies we put in place to strengthen our balance sheet and improve liquidity. Our operating portfolio is holding its own under difficult circumstances. And we continue to nurture key opportunities in our pipeline that can move forward when economic and financial-market conditions allow."

Corporate Description

Forest City Enterprises, Inc. is an $11.9 billion NYSE-listed national real estate company. The Company is principally engaged in the ownership, development, management and acquisition of commercial and residential real estate and land throughout the United States. For more information, visit www.forestcity.net.

EBDT

The Company uses an additional measure, along with net earnings, to report its operating results. This non-GAAP measure, referred to as Earnings Before Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes ("EBDT"), is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company believes that EBDT provides additional information about its core operations and, along with net earnings, is necessary to understand its operating results. EBDT is used by the chief operating decision maker and management in assessing operating performance and to consider capital requirements and allocation of resources by segment and on a consolidated basis. The Company believes EBDT is important to investors because it provides another method for the investor to measure its long-term operating performance, as net earnings can vary from year to year due to property dispositions, acquisitions and other factors that have a short-term impact.

EBDT is defined as net earnings excluding the following items: i) gain (loss) on disposition of rental properties, divisions and other investments (net of tax); ii) the adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expense using the straight-line method; iii) non-cash charges for real estate depreciation, amortization, amortization of mortgage procurement costs and deferred income taxes; iv) preferred payment classified as noncontrolling interest expense on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations; v) impairment of real estate (net of tax); vi) extraordinary items (net of tax); and vii) cumulative or retrospective effect of change in accounting principle (net of tax). Unlike the real estate segments, EBDT for the Nets segment equals net earnings.

EBDT is reconciled to net earnings (loss), the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, in the table titled Financial Highlights below and in the Company's Supplemental Package, which the Company will also furnish to the SEC on Form 8-K. The adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expenses on the straight-line method is excluded because it is management's opinion that rental revenues and expenses should be recognized when due from the tenants or due to the landlord. The Company excludes depreciation and amortization expense related to real estate operations from EBDT because it believes the values of its properties, in general, have appreciated over time in excess of their original cost. Deferred taxes from real estate operations, which are the result of timing differences of certain net expense items deducted in a future year for federal income tax purposes, are excluded until the year in which they are reflected in the Company's current tax provision. The impairment of real estate is excluded from EBDT because it varies from year to year based on factors unrelated to the Company's overall financial performance and is related to the ultimate gain on dispositions of operating properties. The Company's EBDT may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Pro-Rata Consolidation Method

This press release contains certain financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP under the full consolidation accounting method and certain financial measures prepared in accordance with the pro-rata consolidation method (non-GAAP). The Company presents certain financial amounts under the pro-rata method because it believes this information is useful to investors as this method reflects the manner in which the Company operates its business. In line with industry practice, the Company has made a large number of investments in which its economic ownership is less than 100 percent as a means of procuring opportunities and sharing risk. Under the pro-rata consolidation method, the Company presents its investments proportionate to its economic share of ownership. Under GAAP, the full consolidation method is used to report partnership assets and liabilities consolidated at 100 percent if deemed to be under its control or if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entities ("VIE"), even if its ownership is not 100 percent. The Company provides reconciliations from the full consolidation method to the pro-rata consolidation method in the exhibits below and throughout its Supplemental Package, which the Company will also furnish to the SEC on Form 8-K.

               Forest City Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries
                          Financial Highlights
                Nine Months Ended October 31, 2009 and 2008
                             (in thousands)


1) All earnings of properties that have been sold or are held for sale are
reported as discontinued operations assuming no significant continuing
involvement.

2) The Company uses an additional measure, along with net earnings, to
report its operating results. This measure, referred to as Earnings Before
Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes ("EBDT"), is not a measure
of operating results as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures
reported by other companies. The Company believes that EBDT provides
additional information about its operations, and along with net earnings,
is necessary to understand its operating results.  EBDT is defined as net
earnings excluding the following items: i) gain (loss) on disposition of
operating properties, divisions and other investments (net of tax); ii)
the adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expense using the
straight-line method; iii) non-cash charges for real estate depreciation,
amortization (including amortization of mortgage procurement costs) and
deferred income taxes; iv) preferred payment classified as noncontrolling
interest expense on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Earnings; v)
impairment of real estate (net of tax); vi) extraordinary items (net of
tax); and vii) cumulative or retrospective effect of change in accounting
principle (net of tax).  See our discussion of EBDT in the news release.

3) For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2009, the calculation
of EBDT per share requires an adjustment for interest of $410 related to
the 3.625% Puttable Senior Notes and the 5% Convertible Senior Notes.
Therefore EBDT for purposes of calculating per share data is $86,022 and
$223,109 for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2009,
respectively.

4) The Company recognizes minimum rents on a straight-line basis over the
term of the related lease pursuant to accounting for leases.  The
straight-line rent adjustment is recorded as an increase or decrease to
revenue from Forest City Rental Properties Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Forest City Enterprises, Inc., with the applicable offset to
either accounts receivable or accounts payable, as appropriate.

5) For the nine months ended October 31, 2009, the effect of 5,304,424
shares of dilutive securities were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive to the
loss from continuing operations.  (Since these shares are dilutive for the
computation of EBDT per share for the nine months ended October 31, 2009,
diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 139,906,624 were used to
arrive at $1.59/share.)

For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008, the effect of
4,068,885 and 4,399,126 shares of dilutive securities were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect is
anti-dilutive to the loss from continuing operations.  (Since these shares
are dilutive for the computation of EBDT per share for the three and nine
months ended October 31, 2008, diluted weighted average shares outstanding
106,914,319 and 107,113,883 were used to arrive at $0.42/share and
$1.39/share, respectively.)

6) The preference payment represents the respective period's share of the
annual preferred payment in connection with the issuance of Class A Common
Units in exchange for Bruce C. Ratner's noncontrolling interest in the
Forest City Ratner Company portfolio.

7) Effective February 1, 2009, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") Staff Position ("FSP") No. APB 14-1, "Accounting for
Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)"("FSP APB 14-1").  This standard
required us to restate the prior year financial statements to show
retrospective application upon adoption.

and amortization of mortgage procurement costs.

2009 FOOTNOTES
--------------

( a )  As is customary within the real estate industry, the Company
       invests in certain real estate projects through joint ventures.
       For some of these projects, the Company provides funding at
       percentages that differ from the Company's legal ownership.
( b )  Amounts are presented on the full consolidation method of
       accounting, a GAAP measure. Under full consolidation, costs are
       reported as consolidated at 100 percent if we are deemed to have
       control or to be the primary beneficiary of our investments in
       the variable interest entity  ("VIE").
( c )  Cost at pro-rata share represents Forest City's share of cost,
       based on the Company's pro-rata ownership of each property (a
       non-GAAP measure).  Under the pro-rata consolidation method of
       accounting the Company determines its pro-rata share by
       multiplying its pro-rata ownership by the total cost of the
       applicable property.
( d )  The Company exchanged its 50% ownership interest in Boulevard
       Towers, an apartment community located in Amherst, NY, for 100%
       ownership in North Church Towers, in a nonmonetary exchange.
( e )  Phased-in openings. Costs are representative of the total project.
( f )  Reported under the equity method of accounting. This method
       represents a GAAP measure for investments in which the Company is
       not deemed to have control or to be the primary beneficiary of
       our investments in a VIE.
( g )  The difference between the full consolidation cost amount (GAAP)
       of $0.0 million to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP
       measure) of $35.9 million consists of the Company's share of cost
       for unconsolidated investments of $35.9 million.
( h )  The difference between the full consolidation cost amount (GAAP)
       of $2,478.7 million to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP
       measure) of $2,133.6 million consists of a reduction to full
       consolidation for noncontrolling interest of $544.2 million of
       cost and the addition of its share of cost for unconsolidated
       investments of $199.1 million.
( i )  The difference between the full consolidation cost amount (GAAP)
       of $0.0 million to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP
       measure) of $27.9 million consists of the Company's share of cost
       for unconsolidated investments of $27.9 million.
( j )  Includes 89,000 square feet of office space.  Excluding this
       office space from the calculation of the preleased percentage
       would result in the retail space being 85% preleased.  In
       addition, includes 35,000 square feet site for Crate & Barrel,
       opening Q4-09.
( k )  Includes 156,000 square feet of office space.
( l )  Includes 85,000 square feet of retail space.
( m )  Total cost includes construction of the 1,248-space garage and
       structural upgrades to accommodate a possible future residential
       project above the retail center.
( n )  Below is a summary of our equity method investments for Military
       Housing Development projects. The Company provides development,
       construction, and management services for these projects and
       receives agreed upon fees for these services.
