STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

Certain information set forth in this report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other information that is not historical information. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates,” or “intends” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. We may also make additional forward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

 

All forward-looking statements, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends and estimate of future earnings, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risks referenced in “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” below and in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such factors include, but are not limited to:

 

·

changes in general economic conditions and in the markets in which we operate;

 

 

·

the effect of competition from new self-storage facilities or other storage alternatives, which could cause rents and occupancy rates to decline;

 

 

·

potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;

 

 

·

difficulties in our ability to evaluate, finance and integrate acquired and developed properties into our existing operations and to lease up those properties, which could adversely affect our profitability;

 

 

·

the impact of the regulatory environment as well as national, state, and local laws and regulations including, without limitation, those governing real estate investment trusts, or REITs, which could increase our expenses and reduce our cash available for distribution;

 

 

·

the possibility that the joint venture transaction with Harrison Street Real Estate Capital, LLC may not close on the terms previously disclosed or at all, or that the expected benefits from the transaction may not be realized;

 

 

·

recent disruptions in credit and financial markets and resulting difficulties in raising capital at reasonable rates, which could impede our ability to grow;

 

 

·

delays in the development and construction process, which could adversely affect our profitability;

 

 

·

economic uncertainty due to the impact of war or terrorism, which could adversely affect our business plan;

 

 

·

the successful realignment of our executive management team; and

 

 

·

our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and management members.

1.              ORGANIZATION

 

Extra Space Storage Inc. (the “Company”) is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), formed as a Maryland corporation on April 30, 2004 to own, operate, manage, acquire, develop and redevelop professionally managed self-storage facilities located throughout the United States. The Company continues the business of Extra Space Storage LLC and its subsidiaries, which had engaged in the self-storage business since 1977. The Company’s interest in its properties is held through its operating partnership, Extra Space Storage LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which was formed on May 5, 2004. The Company’s primary assets are general partner and limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT. The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). To the extent the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will not be subject to tax, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders.

 

The Company invests in self-storage facilities by acquiring or developing wholly-owned facilities or by acquiring an equity interest in real estate entities.  At June 30, 2009, the Company had direct and indirect equity interests in 628 operating storage facilities located in 33 states and Washington, D.C.  In addition, the Company managed 110 properties for franchisees and third parties, bringing the total number of operating properties which it owns and/or manages to 738.

 

The Company operates in two distinct segments: (1) property management, acquisition and development; and (2) rental operations. The Company’s property management, acquisition and development activities include managing, acquiring, developing and selling self-storage facilities. On June 2, 2009, the Company announced the wind-down of its development activities.  As of June 30, 2009, there were 22 development projects in process that the Company expects to complete by the third quarter of 2010.  The rental operations activities include rental operations of self-storage facilities. No single tenant accounts for more than 5% of rental income.

 

2.              BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they may not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and Form 8-K dated June 5, 2009, updating Items 6, 7 and 8 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the 2008 financial statements and supporting note disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  Such reclassification did not impact previously reported net income or accumulated deficit.

 

Revisions to Prior Period Numbers

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted certain recently issued accounting standards that required the Company to retroactively adopt the presentation and disclosure requirements and to restate prior period financial statements as noted in “Recently Issued Accounting Standards,” below.  The Company also revised the amounts allocated to its noncontrolling interests in its Operating Partnership and calculated earnings per share for 2008.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”).  FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands

Table of Contents

 

disclosures regarding fair value measurement.  FAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, and does not require any new fair value measurements.  FAS 157 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“the FSP”).  The FSP amends FAS 157 to delay the effective date for FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.  The Company adopted FAS 157 effective January 1, 2008, except as it related to nonfinancial assets and liabilities.  The Company adopted FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2009.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued revised Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141(R)”).  FAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Generally, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction are recorded at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions.  FAS 141(R) also changed the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination.  FAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company adopted FAS 141(R) for all acquisitions subsequent to January 1, 2009.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”).  FAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  FAS 160 requires a company to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section but separate from the company’s equity.  FAS 160 also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations and requires changes in ownership interest to be accounted for similarly as equity transactions.  As a result of the issuance of FAS 160, the guidance in EITF Topic D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities” was amended to include redeemable noncontrolling interests within its scope.  If noncontrolling interests are determined to be redeemable, they are to be carried at the higher of (a) their carrying value or (b) their redeemable value as of the balance sheet date and reported as temporary equity.  FAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing noncontrolling interests, with all other requirements applied prospectively.   The Company adopted FAS 160 and related guidance effective January 1, 2009.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures stating how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. FAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and acc ounting designation. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  FAS 161 also encourages but does not require comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company adopted FAS 161 effective January 1, 2009.  Since FAS 161 only requires additional disclosures concerning derivatives and hedging activities, the adoption of FAS 161 did not have any impact on the Company’s net income (loss), cash flows, or financial position.

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Position 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”).  Under FSP APB 14-1, entities with convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion should separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. The effect of the adoption FSP APB 14-1 on the Company’s exchangeable senior notes is that the equity component is included in the paid-in-capital section of stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet and the value of the equity component is treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component. The original issue discount is amortized over the period of the debt as additional interest expense.  FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with retrospective application required.  The Company adopted FSP APB 14-1 effective January 1, 2009.

 

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”).  FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets

that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions.  FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008.  The Company adopted FSP FAS 142-3 for all acquisitions subsequent to January 1, 2009.

 

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”).  FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.”  FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 effective January 1, 2009 and has applied this guidance to all p eriods presented.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP 107-1”), which amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. In addition, FSP 107-1 amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Companies will also be required to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and describe any changes in the methods or methodology occurring during the period. FSP 107-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted, but does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at adoption. The Company adopted FSP 107-1 effective June 15, 2009 and has applied this guidance to all periods presented.  The adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have any impact on the Company’s net income (loss), cash flows, or financial position.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issu ed FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”), which provides guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption for periods ending after March 15, 2009 permitted. FSP 115-2 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at adoption.  The Company adopted FSP 157-4 effective March 15, 2009 and has applied this guidance to all periods presented.  The adoption of FSP 157-4 did not have any impact on the Company’s net income (loss), cash flows, or f inancial position.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“FAS 165”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. FAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and accordingly, the Company adopted this standard during the second quarter of 200 9. FAS 165 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing these financial statements with the SEC on August 7, 2009.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (“FAS 167”), which amends guidance in FIN 46(R) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity, or VIE, and requires the performance of a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Under this guidance, an entity would be required to consolidate a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. FAS 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of FAS 167 on its financial statements.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

Long-lived assets held for use are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment.  When such an event occurs, the Company compares the carrying value of these long-lived assets to the undiscounted future net operating cash flows attributable to the assets using significant unobservable inputs.  An impairment loss is recorded if the net carrying value of the assets exceeds the undiscounted future net operating cash flows attributable to the asset.  The impairment loss recognized equals the excess of net carrying value over the related fair value of the asset.

 

When real estate assets are identified as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the fair value of the assets, net of selling costs, using significant unobservable inputs.  If the estimated fair value, net of selling costs, of the assets that have been identified as held for sale is less than the net carrying value of the assets, then a valuation allowance is established.  The operations of assets held for sale or sold during the period are generally presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

The Company assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of its investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures may be impaired when events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment.  An investment is impaired if the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value using significant unobservable inputs.  To the extent impairment has occurred, and is considered to be other-than-temporary, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the investment.

 

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of properties, the assets are valued as tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their fair values using significant unobservable inputs. The value of the tangible assets, consisting of land and buildings, are determined as if vacant, that is, at replacement cost. Intangible assets, which represent the value of existing tenant relationships, are recorded at their fair values based on the avoided cost to replace the current leases. The Company measures the value of tenant relationships based on the Company’s historical experience with turnover in its facilities. Debt assumed as part of an acquisition is recorded at fair value based on current interest rates compared to contractual rates.

 

On June 2, 2009, the Company announced the wind-down of its development activities.  As a result of this change, the Company reviewed its properties under construction, unimproved land and its investments in development projects for potential impairments.  This review included the preparation of updated models based on current market conditions, obtaining appraisals and reviewing recent sales and list prices of undeveloped land and mature self storage facilities.  Based on this review, the Company has identified certain assets as being impaired.  The impairments relating to long lived assets where the Company intends to complete the development and hold the asset are the result of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows being less than the current carrying value of the assets.  The Company compared the carrying value of certain undeveloped land and seven condominiums that the Company intends to sell to the fair market value of similar undeveloped land and condominiums.  For the assets that the Company intends to sell, where the current estimated fair market value less costs to sell was below the carrying value, the Company reduced the asset to the current fair market value less selling costs and recorded an impairment charge.  The impairments relating to investments in development joint ventures are the result of the Company comparing the estimated current fair market value to the carrying value of the investment.  For those investments in development joint ventures where the current estimated fair market value was below the carrying value, the Company reduced the investment to the current fair market value through an impairment charge.

3.              NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share measures the performance of the Company over the reporting period while giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period. The denominator includes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares that were dilutive had been issued and is calculated using either the treasury stock or if-converted method. Potential common shares are securities (such as options, warrants, convertible debt, Contingent Conversion Shares (“CCSs”), Contingent Conversion Units (“CCUs”), exchangeable Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Operating Partnership units (“Preferred OP units”) and exchangeable Operating Partnership units (“OP units”)) that do not have a current right to participate in earnings but could do so in the future by virtue of their option or conversion right. In computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, net income (loss) is adjusted to add back any changes in earnings in the period associated with the convertible security. The numerator also is adjusted for the effects of any other non-discretionary changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential common shares that are dilutive, or reduce earnings per share, are included.

 

The Company’s Operating Partnership has $95,163 principal amount of exchangeable senior notes issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2009 that also can potentially have a dilutive effect on its earnings per share calculations. The exchangeable senior notes are exchangeable by holders into shares of the Company’s common stock under certain circumstances per the terms of the indenture governing the exchangeable senior notes. The exchangeable senior notes are not exchangeable unless the price of the Company’s common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable exchange price for a specified period during a quarter, or unless certain other events occur. The exchange price was $23.48 per share at June 30, 2009, and could change over time as described in the indenture. The price of the Company’s common stock did not exceed 130% of the exchange price for the specified period of time during the second quarter of 2009; therefore holders of the exchangeable senior notes may not elect to convert them during the third quarter of 2009.

 

The Company has irrevocably agreed to pay only cash for the accreted principal amount of the exchangeable senior notes relative to its exchange obligations, but has retained the right to satisfy the exchange obligations in excess of the accreted principal amount in cash and/or common stock. Though the Company has retained that right, FAS 128 requires an assumption that shares will be used to pay the exchange obligations in excess of the accreted principal amount, and requires that those shares be included in the Company’s calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding for the diluted earnings per share computation. No shares were included in the computation at June 30, 2009 or 2008 because there was no excess over the accreted principal for the period.

 

For the purposes of computing the diluted impact on earnings per share of the potential conversion of Preferred OP units into common shares, where the Company has the option to redeem in cash or shares as discussed in Note 16 and where the Company has stated the positive intent and ability to settle at least $115,000 of the instrument in cash (or net settle a portion of the Preferred OP units against the related outstanding note receivable), only the amount of the instrument in excess of $115,000 is considered in the calculation of shares contingently issuable for the purposes of computing diluted earnings per share as allowed by paragraph 29 of FAS 128.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, options to purchase 5,698,996 and 547,392 shares of common stock and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 5,773,724 and 561,600 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  All unreleased restricted stock grants have been included in basic and diluted shares outstanding as required by EITF 03-6-1 because such shares earn a non-forfeitable dividend and carry voting rights.

Variable Interests in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures:

 

The Company has interests in two unconsolidated joint ventures with unrelated third parties (“Montrose” and “Eastern Avenue”) which are variable interest entities (“VIEs”).  The Company holds a 10% equity interest in Montrose and Eastern Avenue, but has 50% of the voting rights.  Qualification as a VIE was based on the disproportionate voting and ownership percentages.  The Company performed a probability-based cash flow analysis for each of these joint ventures to determine which party was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs.  These analyses were performed using the Company’s best estimates of the future cash flows based on its historical experience with numerous similar assets.  As a result of these analyses, the Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of either Montrose or Eastern Avenue as the Company does not receive a majority of either joint venture’s expected residual returns or bear a majority of the expected losses.  Accordingly, these interests are carried on the equity method.

 

Both Montrose and Eastern Avenue each own a single pre-stabilized self-storage property.  The joint ventures are financed through a combination of (1) equity contributions from the Company and its joint venture partners, (2) mortgage notes payable and (3) payables to the Company for working capital.  The payables to the Company are generally amounts owed for expenses paid on behalf of the joint ventures by the Company as manager.  The Company performs management services for both the Montrose and Eastern Avenue joint ventures in exchange for a management fee of approximately 6% of cash collected by the properties.  The Company’s joint venture partners can replace the Company as manager of the properties upon written notice.  The Company has not provided financial or other support during the periods presented to Montrose or Eastern Avenue that it was not previously contractually obligated to provide.

 

As of June 30, 2009, there were no amounts for Montrose and Eastern Avenue included in Investments in Real Estate on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  No liability was recorded associated with the Company’s guarantee of the construction loans of Montrose or Eastern Avenue.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss for each joint venture as of June 30, 2009 is the total of the guaranteed loan balance, the payables due to the Company and the Company’s investment balances in each joint venture.  The Company believes that the risk of incurring a loss as a result of having to perform on the guarantee is remote and therefore no liability has been recorded. Also, repossessing and/or selling the self-storage facilities and land that collateralize the loans could provide funds sufficient to reimburse the Company. Additionally, the Company believes the payables to the Company are collectible.  The following table compares the liability balances and the maximum exposure to loss related to Montrose and Eastern Avenue as of June 30, 2009:

Variable Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

 

The Company has variable interests in four consolidated joint ventures with third parties (the “VIE JVs”) which are VIEs.  The VIE JVs are financed through a combination of (1) equity contributions from the Company and its joint venture partners, (2) mortgage notes payable and (3) payables to the Company for working capital.  The payables to the Company are generally amounts owed for expenses paid on behalf of the joint ventures by the Company as manager.  The Company owns 50% to 72% of the common equity interests in the VIE JVs.  The Company performed probability-based cash flow projections for each venture using the Company’s best estimates of future revenues and expenses based on historical experience with numerous similar assets.  According to these analyses, the joint ventures were determined to be VIEs based on an assessment that the equity financing was inadequate to support operations.  The Company was also determined to be the primary beneficiary of each of the VIE JVs, as it receives the majority of the benefits and bears the majority of the expected losses of each as a result of its majority ownership and the management agreements. Therefore, each of the VIE JVs are consolidated with the assets and liabilities of each joint venture included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated.

 

In January 2009, the Company purchased a lender’s interest in a construction loan to a joint venture that owns a single property located in Sacramento, CA.  The construction loan was to ESS of Sacramento One LLC, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 50% interest.  This joint venture was not consolidated and was not considered a VIE JV as of December 31, 2008.  The Company considers the purchase of this loan to be a reconsideration event and now considers ESS of Sacramento One LLC to be a VIE JV and has determined that the Company now bears the majority of the risk of loss.  As a result of this

loan purchase by the Company, the joint venture is now consolidated. The assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value as required by FAS 141(R).

 

The Company performs development services for Washington Ave. and ESS of Plantation LLC in exchange for a development fee of 2% and 1% of budgeted costs, respectively.   The Company performs management services for ESS of Sacramento One LLC and Franklin Blvd. in exchange for a management fee of approximately 6% of cash collected by the properties.

Except as disclosed above, the Company has not provided financial or other support during the periods presented to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually obligated to provide.  The Company has guaranteed the notes payable for these VIEs.  The notes payable are secured by the related self-storage properties and are non-recourse.  If the joint ventures default on the loans, the Company may be forced to repay its portion of the balance owed.  However, repossessing and/or selling the self-storage facilities and land that collateralize the loans could provide funds sufficient to reimburse the Company, and the Company believes that the risk of incurring a loss as a result of having to perform on the guarantees is remote.

9.              DERIVATIVES

 

FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended” (“FAS 133”) requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship.  A company must designate each qualifying hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in foreign operation.

 

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations.  The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk.  Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with Company’s fixed and variable-rate borrowings.  In accordance with FAS 133, the Company designates certain interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of variable-rate borrowings and the remainder as fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings.

 

In October 2004, the Company entered into a reverse interest rate swap agreement (“Reverse Swap Agreement”) to float $61,770 of 4.30% fixed interest rate. The Company entered into the Reverse Swap Agreement to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of the related debt attributed to changes in interest rates.  The Reverse Swap Agreement allowed fluctuations in the fair value of the debt to be offset by the value of the interest rate swap.  The fair value of the Swap Agreement was determined through observable prices in active markets for identical agreements.  Under this Reverse Swap Agreement, the Company received interest at a fixed rate of 4.30% and paid interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.65%. The Reverse Swap Agreement expired on June 1, 2009.

 

Monthly variable interest payments were recognized as an increase or decrease in interest expense as follows:

On June 30, 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement in the amount of $64,530 secured by certain properties.  The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%, maturing on June 30, 2011.  The loan agreement has a two year extension, at the option of the Company, which would extend the loan maturity to June 30, 2013.  On January 28, 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (“Swap Agreement”) with an effective date of February 1, 2009 and a maturity date of June 30, 2013.  Under the Swap Agreement, the Company will receive interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% and pay interest at a fixed rate of 4.24%. The Company entered into the Swap Agreement to hedge the risk of changes in interest rate payments attributed to changes in the LIBOR rate.  The other critical terms of the Swap Agreement are identical to those of the underlying debt.  This Swap Agreement is a cash flow hedge, as defined by FAS 133, and the effective portion of the gain or loss on the Swap Agreement will be reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest expense when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.   Information relating to the gain recognized relating to the Swap Agreement is as follows:

10.       NOTES PAYABLE TO TRUSTS

 

During July 2005, ESS Statutory Trust III (the “Trust III”), a newly formed Delaware statutory trust and a wholly-owned, unconsolidated subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, issued an aggregate of $40,000 of preferred securities which mature on July 31, 2035. In addition, the Trust III issued 1,238 of Trust common securities to the Operating Partnership for a purchase price of $1,238. On July 27, 2005, the proceeds from the sale of the preferred and common securities of $41,238 were loaned in the form of a note to the Operating Partnership (“Note 3”). Note 3 has a fixed rate of 6.91% through July 31, 2010, and then will be payable at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.40% per annum. The interest on Note 3, payable quarterly, will be used by the Trust III to pay dividends on the trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities may be redeemed by the Trust with no prepayment premium after July 27, 2010.

 

During May 2005, ESS Statutory Trust II (the “Trust II”), a newly formed Delaware statutory trust and a wholly-owned, unconsolidated subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, issued an aggregate of $41,000 of preferred securities which mature on June 30, 2035. In addition, the Trust II issued 1,269 of Trust common securities to the Operating Partnership for a purchase price of $1,269. On May 24, 2005, the proceeds from the sale of the preferred and common securities of $42,269 were loaned in the form of a note to the Operating Partnership (“Note 2”). Note 2 has a fixed rate of 6.67% through June 30, 2010, and then will be payable at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.40% per annum. The interest on Note 2, payable quarterly, will be used by the Trust II to pay dividends on the trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities may be redeemed by the Trust with no prepayment premium after June 30, 2010.

Table of Contents

 

During April 2005, ESS Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a newly formed Delaware statutory trust and a wholly-owned, unconsolidated subsidiary of the Operating Partnership issued an aggregate of $35,000 of trust preferred securities which mature on June 30, 2035. In addition, the Trust issued 1,083 of trust common securities to the Operating Partnership for a purchase price of $1,083. On April 8, 2005, the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred and common securities of $36,083 were loaned in the form of a note to the Operating Partnership (the “Note”). The Note has a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum. The interest on the Note, payable quarterly, will be used by the Trust to pay dividends on the trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities may be redeemed by the Trust with no prepayment premium after June 30, 2010.

 

The Company follows FASB Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”), which addresses the consolidation of VIEs.  Under FIN 46R, Trust, Trust II and Trust III are VIEs because the holders of the equity investment at risk (the trust preferred securities) do not have adequate decision making ability over the trusts’ activities because of their lack of voting or similar rights.  Because the Operating Partnership’s investment in the trusts’ common securities was financed directly by the trusts as a result of its loan of the proceeds to the Operating Partnership, that investment is not considered to be an equity investment at risk.  The Operating Partnership’s investment in the trusts is not a variable interest because equity interests are variable interests only to the extent that the investment is considered to be at risk, and therefore the Operating Partnership cannot be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.  Since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the trusts, they have not been consolidated.  A debt obligation has been recorded in the form of notes as discussed above for the proceeds, which are owed to the Trust, Trust II and Trust III by the Company.  The Company has also recorded its investment in the trusts’ common securities as other assets.

 

The Company has not provided financing or other support during the periods presented to the trusts that it was not previously contractually obligated to provide.  The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the trusts is equal to the total amount of the notes discussed above less the amounts of the Company’s investments in the trusts’ common securities.  The net amount is the notes payable that the trusts owe to third parties for their investments in the trusts’ preferred securities.  Following is a tabular comparison of the liabilities the Company has recorded as a result of its involvements with the trusts to the maximum exposure to loss the Company is subject to related to the trusts as of June 30, 2009:

11.       EXCHANGEABLE SENIOR NOTES

 

On March 27, 2007, our Operating Partnership issued $250,000 of its 3.625% Exchangeable Senior Notes due April 1, 2027 (the “Notes”). Costs incurred to issue the Notes were approximately $5,700. These costs are being amortized over five years, which represents the estimated term of the Notes, and are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009. The Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Operating Partnership and are fully guaranteed by the Company. Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year until the maturity date of April 1, 2027. The Notes bear interest at 3.625% per annum and contain an exchange settlement feature, which provides that the Notes may, under certain circumstances, be exchangeable for cash (up to the principal amount of the Notes) and, with respect to any excess exchange value, for cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock at an exchange rate of approximately 43.1091 shares per one thousand dollars principal amount of Notes at the option of the Operating Partnership.

 

The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes at any time to preserve the Company’s status as a REIT. In addition, on or after April 5, 2012, the Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes for cash, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior written notice to holders of the Notes.

 

The holders of the Notes have the right to require the Operating Partnership to repurchase the Notes for cash, in whole or in part, on each of April 1, 2012, April 1, 2017 and April 1, 2022, and upon the occurrence of a designated event, in each case for a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. Certain events are

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP ABP 14-1.  Under FSP APB 14-1, entities with convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion should separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost.  The Company retroactively adopted FSP APB 14-1 effective January 1, 2009.  As a result, the liability and equity components of the Notes are now accounted for separately.  The equity component is included in the paid-in-capital section of stockholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and the value of the equity component is treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component.  The discount is being amortized over the period of the debt as additional interest expense.

 

Information about the carrying amounts of the equity component, the principal amount of the liability component, its unamortized discount, and its net carrying amount are as follows:

The discount will be amortized over the remaining period of the debt through its first redemption date (April 1, 2012).  The effective interest rate on the liability component is 5.75%.  The amount of interest cost recognized relating to the contractual interest rate and the amortization of the discount on the liability component is as follows:

Repurchases of Notes

 

During May 2009, the Company repurchased $43,000 principal amount of Notes.  The Company paid cash of $36,340 to repurchase the Notes, exclusive of $268 paid for interest accrued on the repurchased Notes through the date of repurchase.

 

During March 2009, the Company repurchased $71,500 principal amount of Notes.  The Company paid cash of $44,513 to repurchase the Notes, exclusive of $1,136 paid for interest accrued on the repurchased Notes through the date of repurchase.

 

During October 2008, the Company repurchased $40,337 principal amount of Notes.  The Company paid cash of $31,721 to repurchase the Notes, exclusive of $35 paid for interest accrued on the repurchased Notes through the date of repurchase.

 

FSP APB 14-1 requires that the value of the consideration paid to repurchase the Notes be allocated (1) to the extinguishment of the liability component and (2) the reacquisition of the equity component.  The amount allocated to the extinguishment of the liability component is equal to the fair value of that component immediately prior to extinguishment.  The difference between the consideration attributed to the extinguishment of the liability component and the sum of (a) the net carrying amount of the repurchased liability component, and (b) the related unamortized debt issuance costs is recognized as a gain on debt extinguishment.  The remaining settlement consideration is allocated to the reacquisition of the equity component of the repurchased Notes, and recognized as a reduction of stockholders’ equity.
