Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Alexander’s and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany 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 (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, as filed with the SEC.

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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, 2017March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

We operate in one reportable segment.

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, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, 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. This standard, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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. When adoptingdisclosures (see Note 4). We adopted this standard we are permitted to use either the full retrospective method oreffective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. We will adoptapproach, which allows us to apply the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective date and record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this standard effective as of January 1, 2018 and currently expect to utilize the modified retrospective method of adoption. Wedid not have progressed with our project plan for adopting this standard, including gathering and evaluating the inventory of our revenue streams. We expect this standard will have ana material impact on the presentation of certain lease and non-lease components of revenue from leases upon the adoption of the update (“ASU 2016-02”)Leases with no impact on “total revenues.” We also expect this standard will have an impact on the timing of gains on certain sales of real estate. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.


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(“ASC 825”). ASU 2016-01 amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. While the adoption of this standardupdate requires us to continue to measure “marketable securities” at fair value at each reporting date, the changes in fair value will be recognized in current period earnings as opposed to “other comprehensive income (loss).” As a result, on January 1, 2018 we recorded an increase to retained earnings of $5,156,000 to recognize the unrealized gains previously recorded within “accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.”

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 we recorded a decrease in the fair value of our marketable securities of $5,170,000, resulting from The Macerich Company’s (“Macerich”) closing share price of $56.02 as of March 31, 2018, compared to $65.68 as of December 31, 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-022016-02”) establishing ASC Topic 842,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. ASU 2016-02The accounting applied by the lessor is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.largely unchanged from that applied under the existing lease standard. We are currently evaluating the overall impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements includingand believe that the timing of adopting this standard. ASU 2016-02standard will more significantly impact the accounting for leases in which we are a lessee. Upon adoption of this standard, weWe will be required to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for our Flushing property ground lease, equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. We also expect thatpayments, and will continue to recognize expense on a straight-line basis upon adoption of this standard will have an impact on the presentation of certain lease and non-lease components of revenue from leases with no impact on “total revenues.” In particular, items such as reimbursable real estate taxes and insurance expenses, will be presented in “property rentals” and non-lease components, such as certain reimbursable operating expenses, will be presented in “expense reimbursements” on our consolidated statements of income.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (“standard. ASU 2016-09”)Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting to ASC Topic 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation(“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 2016-092016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginningthat begin after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this update as of January 1, 2017, did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-15”)Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments to ASC Topic 230,Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-15 clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,2018, with early adoption permitted. We elected to earlywill adopt ASU 2016-15this standard effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of2019 and will elect to use the practical expedients provided by this update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-18”)Restricted Cash to ASC Topic 230,Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period balances on the statement of cash flows upon adoption of this standard. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2017, with retrospective application to our consolidated statements of cash flows. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of cash flows present a reconciliation of the changes in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash primarily consists of cash held in a non-interest bearing escrow account in connection with our Rego Park I 100% cash collateralized mortgage, as well as security deposits and other cash escrowed under loan agreements for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance and capital improvements.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues consist of property rentals and expense reimbursements. We have the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies:
Base Rent is revenue arising from tenant leases.  These rents are recognized over the non-cancelable term of the related leases on a straight-line basis, which includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements.  We commence rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use.  In addition, in circumstances where we provide a tenant improvement allowance for improvements that are owned by the tenant, we recognize the allowance as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Percentage Rent is revenue arising from retail tenant leases that is contingent upon the sales of tenants exceeding defined thresholds.  These rents are recognized only after the contingency has been removed (i.e., when tenant sales thresholds have been achieved).
Parking Revenue arising from the rental of parking spaces at our properties.  This income is recognized as the services are provided.
Operating Expense Reimbursements is revenue arising from tenant leases which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of our properties. Revenue is recognized in the same period as the related expenses are incurred.
Tenant Services is revenue arising from sub-metered electric, elevator and other services provided to tenants at their request. This revenue is recognized as the services are transferred.
Parking revenue and tenant services income represent revenue recognized from contracts with customers and are recognized in accordance with ASC 606. Base rent, percentage rent and operating expense reimbursements are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases.

In 2015, the New York City Department of Finance (“NYC DOF”) issued a Notice of Determination to us assessing an additional New York City real property transfer tax amount, including interest, which we are contesting.
In 2014, in a case with similar facts, the NYC DOF issued a Notice of Determination to a Vornado joint venture assessing an additional New York City real property transfer tax amount, including interest. In January 2017, a New York City administrative law judge made a determination upholding the Vornado joint venture’s position that such additional real property transfer taxes were not due. On February 16, 2018, the New York City Tax Appeals Tribunal (the “Tribunal”) overturned the January 2017 determination. The Vornado joint venture is appealing the Tribunal’s decision to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
Based on the precedent of the Tribunal’s decision, we accrued an expense for the potential additional real property transfer taxes of $23,797,000 ($15,874,000 of real property transfer tax and $7,923,000 of interest) during the three months ended March 31, 2018. On April 5, 2018, we paid this amount in order to stop the interest from accruing.  Our case is on hold pending the outcome of the Vornado joint venture’s appeal.
As the results related to Kings Plaza were previously classified as discontinued operations, we have classified the expense as “loss from discontinued operations” on our consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. In addition, the accrued expense is reflected as “liability related to discontinued operations” on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 and on our consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

If we were to lose Bloomberg as a tenant, or if Bloomberg were to be unable to fulfill its obligations under its lease, it would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In order to assist us in our continuing assessment of Bloomberg’s creditworthiness, we receive certain confidential financial information and metrics from Bloomberg.

Stock-Based Compensation

10.Mortgages Payable

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718. Our 2016 Omnibus Stock Plan (the “Plan”) provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock units (“DSUs”) and performance shares, as defined, to the directors, officers and employees of the Company and Vornado.

In May 2017, we granted each of the members of our Board of Directors 183 DSUs with a grant date fair value of $56,250 per grant, or $394,000 in the aggregate. The DSUs entitle the holders to receive shares of the Company’s common stock without the payment of any consideration. The DSUs vested immediately and accordingly, were expensed on the date of grant, but the shares of common stock underlying the DSUs are not deliverable to the grantee until the grantee is no longer serving on the Company’s Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2017, there were 8,692 DSUs outstanding and 497,095 shares were available for future grant under the Plan.

Mortgages Payable

In June 2017, we completed a $500,000,000 refinancing of the office portion of 731 Lexington Avenue. The interest-only loan is at LIBOR plus 0.90% and matures in June 2020, with four one-year extension options. In connection therewith, we purchased an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $500,000,000 that caps LIBOR at a rate of 6.0%. The property was previously encumbered by a $300,000,000 interest-only mortgage at LIBOR plus 0.95% which was scheduled to mature in March 2021.

11.Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. 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.

Fifty Ninth Street Insurance Company, LLC (“FNSIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which expires in December 2020. Coverage for acts of terrorism (including NBCR acts) is up to $1.7 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to FNSIC. For NBCR acts, FNSIC is responsible for a $293,000$306,000 deductible and 17%18% of the balance of a covered loss, and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 83%82% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by FNSIC.

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. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us and 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. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties.

Rego Park I Litigation

On

In June 24, 2014, Sears Roebuck and Co. (“Sears”) filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Vornado and us (and certain of our subsidiaries) with regard to space that Sears leases at our Rego Park I property alleging that the defendants are liable for harm that Sears has suffered as a result of (a) water intrusions into the premises, (b) two fires in February 2014 that caused damages to those premises, and (c) alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the premises’ parking garage. Sears asserted various causes of actions for damages and sought to compel compliance with landlord’s obligations to repair the premises and to provide security, and to compel us to abate a nuisance that Sears claims was a cause of the water intrusions into its premises. In addition to injunctive relief, Sears sought, among other things, damages of not less than $4 million and future damages it estimated would not be less than $25 million. In March 2016, Sears withdrew its claim for future damages leaving a remaining claim for property damages, which we estimate to be approximately $650,000 based on information provided by Sears. We intend to defend the remaining claim vigorously. The amount or range of reasonably possible losses, if any, is not expected to be greater than $650,000.

We believe that the NYC DOF’s claim is without merit and intend to vigorously contest this assessment. We have determined that the likelihood of a loss related to this issue is not probable and, after consultation with legal counsel, that the outcome of this assessment is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There are various other legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters in the aggregate will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results, financial condition, results of operations 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 Form10-Q. These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Many of the factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict. For a further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A—1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017. 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 the 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 after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016.2017. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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, 2017March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Overview

Alexander’s, Inc. (NYSE: ALX) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), incorporated in Delaware, engaged in leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping its properties. All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” and “Alexander’s”, refer to Alexander’s, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are managed by, and our properties are leased and developed by, Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) (NYSE: VNO). We have seven properties in the greater New York City metropolitan area.

We compete with a large number of property owners and developers. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the world, national and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, the availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation, population trends, zoning laws, and our ability to lease, sublease or sell our properties, at profitable levels. Our success is also subject to our ability to refinance existing debt on acceptable terms as it comes due.

Real Property Transfer Tax Litigation
In 2012, we sold the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center (“Kings Plaza”) and paid real property transfer taxes to New York City in connection with the sale. In 2015, the New York City Department of Finance (“NYC DOF”) issued a Notice of Determination to us assessing an additional New York City real property transfer tax amount, including interest, which we are contesting.
In 2014, in a case with similar facts, the NYC DOF issued a Notice of Determination to a Vornado joint venture assessing an additional New York City real property transfer tax amount, including interest. In January 2017, a New York City administrative law judge made a determination upholding the Vornado joint venture’s position that such additional real property transfer taxes were not due. On February 16, 2018, the New York City Tax Appeals Tribunal (the “Tribunal”) overturned the January 2017 determination. The Vornado joint venture is appealing the Tribunal’s decision to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
Based on the precedent of the Tribunal’s decision, we accrued an expense for the potential additional real property transfer taxes of $23,797,000 ($15,874,000 of real property transfer tax and $7,923,000 of interest) during the three months ended March 31, 2018. On April 5, 2018, we paid this amount in order to stop the interest from accruing.  Our case is on hold pending the outcome of the Vornado joint venture’s appeal.

Tenant Matters
On April 4, 2017, Sears closed its 195,000 square foot store at our Rego Park I property. Annual revenue is approximately $10,400,000, under a lease which expires in March 2021. In its 2016 annual report on Form 10-K, Sears indicated that substantial doubt exists related to its ability to continue as a going concern. There are $3,568,000 of receivables arising from the straight-lining of rent and $374,000 of unamortized deferred leasing costs on our consolidated balance sheet related to the Sears lease as of March 31, 2018 which we will continue to assess for recoverability.
On September 18, 2017, Toys “R” Us, Inc. (“Toys”), which leases 47,000 square feet of retail space at our Rego Park II shopping center ($2,600,000 of annual revenue) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief. On March 15, 2018, Toys sought authorization to wind down U.S. operations, including closing U.S. stores and liquidating all U.S. inventory, which relief was granted on an interim basis on March 22, 2018. There are $588,000 of tenant improvements, $215,000 of unamortized deferred leasing costs and $500,000 of receivables arising from the straight-lining of rent on our consolidated balance sheet related to the Toys lease as of March 31, 2018. Pursuant to the bankruptcy court proceedings, Toys plans to close its store at our Rego II property by June 30, 2018. Consequently, we are accelerating depreciation and amortization of the remaining balances of tenant improvements and deferred leasing costs to the second quarter ending June 30, 2018. We have also reserved the Toys receivable arising from the straight-lining of rent as of March 31, 2018.
Rego Park II Loan Participation
On July 28, 2017, we completedentered into a $500,000,000 refinancingparticipation and servicing agreement with the lender on our Rego Park II shopping center loan, which matures on November 30, 2018. We paid $200,000,000 to participate in the loan and are entitled to interest of the office portion of 731 Lexington Avenue. The interest-only loan is at LIBOR plus 0.90% and matures in June 2020, with four one-year extension options. In connection therewith, we purchased an interest rate cap with a notional amount1.60% (3.49% as of $500,000,000 that caps LIBOR at a rate of 6%. The property was previously encumbered by a $300,000,000 interest-only mortgage at LIBOR plus 0.95% which was scheduled to mature in March 2021.

Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) accounted for revenue of $52,187,000$26,324,000 and $52,217,000$26,010,000 for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively, representing approximately 46%45% of our total revenues in each period. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. If we were to lose Bloomberg as a tenant, or if Bloomberg were to be unable to fulfill its obligations under its lease, it would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In order to assist us in our continuing assessment of Bloomberg’s creditworthiness, we receive certain confidential financial information and metrics from Bloomberg. In addition, we access and evaluate financial information regarding Bloomberg from other private sources, as well as publicly available data.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent on a number of factors, including the occupancy level and rental rates of our properties, as well as our tenants’ ability to pay their rents. Our properties provide us with a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that enables us to pay our operating expenses, interest expense, recurring capital expenditures and cash dividends to stockholders. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include our existing cash, proceeds from financings, including mortgage or construction loans secured by our properties and proceeds from asset sales. We anticipate that cash flows from continuing operations over the next twelve months, together with existing cash balances, will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash dividends to stockholders, debt amortization and capital expenditures.

Six We may refinance our maturing debt as it comes due or choose to repay it.

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 coverage with limits of $1.7 billion per occurrence, including coverage for acts of terrorism, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties.

Fifty Ninth Street Insurance Company, LLC (“FNSIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which expires in December 2020. Coverage for acts of terrorism (including NBCR acts) is up to $1.7 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to FNSIC. For NBCR acts, FNSIC is responsible for a $293,000$306,000 deductible and 17%18% of the balance of a covered loss, and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 83%82% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by FNSIC.




Liquidity and Capital Resources - continued
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. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us and 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. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties.

Tenant Matters

In April 2017, Sears closed its 195,000 square foot store it leases from us at our Rego Park I property. Annual revenue, including reimbursements, is approximately $10,337,000, under a lease which expires in March of 2021. In its 2016 annual report on Form 10-K, Sears indicated that substantial doubt exists related to its ability to continue as a going concern. There is a straight-line rent receivable of approximately $4,460,000 and unamortized deferred leasing costs of approximately $468,000 on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 which we will continue to assess for recoverability.

(“Sears”) filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Vornado and us (and certain of our subsidiaries) with regard to space that Sears leases at our Rego Park I property alleging that the defendants are liable for harm that Sears has suffered as a result of (a) water intrusions into the premises, (b) two fires in February 2014 that caused damages to those premises, and (c) alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the premises’ parking garage. Sears asserted various causes of actions for damages and sought to compel compliance with landlord’s obligations to repair the premises and to provide security, and to compel us to abate a nuisance that Sears claims was a cause of the water intrusions into its premises. In addition to injunctive relief, Sears sought, among other things, damages of not less than $4 million and future damages it estimated would not be less than $25 million. In March 2016, Sears withdrew its claim for future damages leaving a remaining claim for property damages, which we estimate to be approximately $650,000 based on information provided by Sears. We intend to defend the remaining claim vigorously. The amount or range of reasonably possible losses, if any, is not expected to be greater than $650,000.

Paramus

In 2001, we leased 30.3 acres of land located in Paramus, New Jersey to IKEA Property, Inc. The lease has a purchase option in 2021 for $75,000,000. The property is encumbered by a $68,000,000 interest-only mortgage loan with a fixed rate of 2.90%, which matures inon October 5, 2018. The annual triple-net rent is the sum of $700,000 plus the amount of debt service on the mortgage loan. If the purchase option is exercised, we will receive net cash proceeds of approximately $7,000,000 and recognize a gain on sale of land of approximately $60,000,000. If the purchase option is not exercised, the triple-net rent for the last 20 years would include debt service sufficient to fully amortize $68,000,000 over the remaining 20-year lease term.

Letters of Credit

Approximately $2,074,000$1,040,000 of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2017.

March 31, 2018.

Other

On October 15, 2015, the New York City Department of Finance (“NYC DOF”) issued a Notice of Determination to us assessing an additional $22,070,000 of transfer taxes (including interest and penalties as of June 30, 2017) in connection with the sale of Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center in November 2012. We believe that the NYC DOF’s claim is without merit and intend to vigorously contest this assessment. We have determined that the likelihood of a loss related to this issue is not probable and, after consultation with legal counsel, that the outcome of this assessment is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There are various other legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters in the aggregate will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



Funds from Operations (“FFO”)

(non-GAAP)

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 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 cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of our net (loss) income to (negative FFO) FFO is provided below.

(Negative FFO) FFO (non-GAAP) for the Threethree months ended March 31, 2018 and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Negative FFO (non-GAAP) for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $1,549,000, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to positive FFO (non-GAAP) of $29,581,000, or $5.78 per diluted share in the prior year’s quarter. Negative FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $28,667,000,March 31, 2018 included (i) $23,797,000, or $5.60$4.65 per diluted share, compared to $30,999,000,of accrued expense for potential additional New York City real property transfer taxes on the 2012 sale of Kings Plaza, which is being contested and (ii) $5,170,000, or $6.06$1.01 per diluted share, forof expense from the prior year’s quarter.

FFO fordecrease in the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $58,248,000, or $11.39 per diluted share, compared to $61,249,000, or $11.98 per diluted share forfair value of marketable securities resulting from a new GAAP accounting standard effective January 1, 2018. Previously, changes in the prior year’s six months.

fair value of marketable securities were recognized through “accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” on our consolidated balance sheets and did not impact our consolidated statements of income.

The following table reconciles our net (loss) income to FFO:

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of our mortgages payable is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist. As of June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the estimated fair value of our mortgages payable was $1,245,000,000$1,241,000,000 and $1,045,000,000,$1,239,000,000, respectively. Our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of the reporting period, may be different from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon the disposition of our financial instruments.
