During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company accepted a commitment for a $268.7 million fixed rate mortgage loan of which $82.9 million was closed and funded as of June 30, 2002. The loan bears interest of 7.05% (7.29% effective rate considering financing costs) and is amortized over 30 years with a maturity of 10 years. Of the loan proceeds, $81.6 million was used to pay off existing variable rate debt, related interest, and fees at closing. The loan is collateralized by certain of the Companys operating properties and by assignment of rents generated by the underlying properties. Under certain conditions, this loan may have a yield maintenance premium if paid prior to maturity. The remaining $185.8 million is expected to be funded in the third quarter of 2002.
During the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $35.3 million revenue bond with an estimated weighted average variable interest rate of 3.5% and a series of maturities up to twenty years. Bond payments will be made from anticipated retail sales tax revenue, real estate taxes, and miscellaneous fees generated from property currently owned by one of the Companys unconsolidated joint venture investments.
Interest costs relating to mortgage and other debt for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, are summarized as follows:

The Suburban-Commercial segment develops real estate for the Companys own account or for third parties and acquires and sells developable land and commercial buildings. The Suburban-Residential segment acquires and develops suburban residential communities and sells finished lots to homebuilders via direct ownership or through joint ventures. The Urban segment develops major mixed-use development sites for the Companys own account and for joint ventures, which includes development for residential, office, retail, and entertainment purposes. The Corporate segment consists of administrative services.
Inter-segment gains and losses, if any, are not recognized. Debt and interest-bearing assets are allocated to segments based upon the grouping of the underlying assets. All other assets and liabilities are specifically identified and allocated to the segments.
Historically, the Company has measured and reported segment results using the supplemental performance measure Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes (EBDDT). Starting with the first quarter 2002 results, the Company began to use net income, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, as the primary earnings measure for purposes of discussing the results for each segment (see Notes 2 and 4). Prior year financial data by reportable segment have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot predict with certainty the final outcome of these proceedings. Considering current insurance coverages and the substantial legal defenses available, however, management believes that none of these actions, when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Where appropriate, the Company has established reserves for potential liabilities related to legal actions or threatened legal actions. These reserves are necessarily based on estimates and probabilities of the occurrence of events and, therefore, are subject to revision from time to time.
Some of the legal actions to which the Company is a party may seek to restrain actions related to the development process or challenge title to or possession of the Companys properties. Typically, such actions, if successful, would not result in significant financial liability for the Company but might instead prevent the completion of the development process originally planned, and, therefore, impairment may occur in certain development assets. (See discussion of specific lawsuits in Part II, Item 1 Legal Proceedings of this Form 10Q.)
Inherent in the operation of a real estate business is the possibility that environmental liability may arise from the current or past ownership, or current or past operation, of real properties. The Company may be required in the future to take action to correct or reduce the environmental effects of prior disposal or release of hazardous substances by third parties, the Company, or its corporate predecessors. Future environmental costs are difficult to estimate because of such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required, the determination of the Companys potential liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from insurance. Also, the Company does not generally have access to properties sold in the past.
At June 30, 2002, management estimates that future costs for remediation of environmental contamination on operating properties and properties previously sold approximate $9.3 million, and has provided a reserve for that amount. It is anticipated that such costs will be incurred over the next several years. Management also estimates approximately $14.1 million of similar costs relating to the Companys properties to be developed or sold. The Company may incur additional costs related to management of excess soil from our projects; however, the necessity of this activity depends on the type of future development activities, and, therefore, the related costs are not currently determinable. These costs will be capitalized as components of development costs when incurred, which is anticipated to be over a period of approximately twenty years, or will be deferred and charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold. Environmental costs capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2002, totaled $3.9 million. The Companys estimates were developed based on reviews that took place over several years based upon then-prevailing law and identified site conditions. Because of the breadth of its portfolio, and past sales, the Company is unable to review each property extensively on a regular basis. Such estimates are not precise and are always subject to the availability of further information about the prevailing conditions at the site, the future requirements of regulatory agencies, and the availability and ability of other parties to pay some or all of such costs.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company has outstanding $22.6 million of standby letters of credit and a total of $243.8 million of surety bonds in favor of local municipalities or financial institutions, and commitments to guarantee performance on construction of real property improvements. The Company also has $28.6 million of standby letters of credit supporting financial obligations. The Company guarantees a portion of the debt and interest of certain of its joint ventures. As of June 30, 2002, these guarantees totaled $51.6 million. In some cases, other parties have jointly and severally guaranteed these obligations.
In 2001, $101 million of Community Facility District (CFD) bonds were sold to finance public infrastructure improvements at Mission Bay in San Francisco and Pacific Commons in Fremont. Bonds totaling $71 million were issued for Mission Bay, of which $17 million have a floating rate of interest initially set at 2.85% (1.25% at June 30, 2002) with the remaining $54 million at a fixed rate of 6.02%. The Company has issued a letter of credit totaling $17 million in support of the floating rate bond issued for Mission Bay. At Pacific Commons, $30 million of bonds were issued and have a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.20%. These bonds have a series of maturities up to thirty years. At June 30, 2002, for Mission Bay, $2.4 million of the $17 million floating rate bonds and $10.9 million of the $54 million fixed rate bonds were used to reimburse costs the Company incurred on behalf of the district; for Pacific Commons, approximately $6.3 million was reimbursed. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has incurred, but has not been reimbursed, costs of $53.8 million for Mission Bay and $2.8 million for Pacific Commons.
13
Upon completion of the infrastructure improvements at Mission Bay and Pacific Commons, for which the $71 million and $30 million CFD bonds were issued, respectively, the improvements will be transferred to the respective cities. The expected reimbursement of the infrastructure costs from the bonds is reflected in Other Assets.
At Mission Bay, the landowners must satisfy any shortfall in annual debt service obligations for the CFD bonds, if incremental tax revenues generated by the projects are insufficient. At Pacific Commons, developed and designated developed property is taxed first, and any shortfall in annual debt service is paid by a tax on vacant land.
NOTE 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company provides development and management services and loan guarantees to various unconsolidated joint venture investments. Fees earned, including loan guarantee fees, were $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Deferred fees of $1.9 million at June 30, 2002, will be earned as completed projects are sold or the venture is sold or liquidated.
In 2001, the Company entered into a 99-year ground lease with one of its unconsolidated joint venture investments. Rent payments of $0.9 million and $1.8 million were received and recognized as rental income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. Rent payments of $1.3 million of previously received rent was deferred at June 30, 2002, and will be recognized, together with annual rents, over the life of the lease.
The Company has a $4.5 million collateralized 9.0% note receivable from an unconsolidated joint venture for project costs plus accrued interest. The note is collateralized by property owned by the venture and matures in October 2028. The Company entered into various lease agreements with this unconsolidated joint venture. As lessee, rent expense was $34,000 in each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and $68,000 for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001; this lease will expire in November 2011. As lessor, the Company entered into a ground lease, which will expire in August 2054. The Company earned rental income of $0.1 million in each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and $0.2 million for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and recorded a $1.6 million receivable associated with this lease.

Note 10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. In general, sales of rental property, (a) not sold subject to an initial tenant purchase option or, (b) explicitly built with the intention of selling, but not sold within two years of completion, are referred to as Investment Properties and classified as discontinued operations. Therefore, as required, income or loss attributed to the operations and sale of Investment Properties sold or held for sale is presented in the statement of operations as discontinued operations, net of applicable income tax. Prior period statements of operations have been reclassified to reflect as discontinued operations the income or loss related to Investment Properties that were sold or held for sale and presented as discontinued operations during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002. Additionally, all periods presented will likely require further reclassification in future periods as additional, similar sales of Investment Properties occur.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company sold Investment Properties for $16.3 million and $25.6 million, respectively, with a net gain of $7.6 million and $12.1 million, net of income taxes of $5.1 million and $8.1 million. Rents from these properties and properties under contract to be sold were $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2002, and $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Loss from these properties was $80,000, net of income tax benefit of $54,000, and $100,000, net of income tax benefit of $68,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $136,000, net of income tax benefit of $92,000, and $194,000, net of income tax benefit of $130,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Asset and liability balances of Investment Properties under contract to be sold at June 30, 2002 consist of the following:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of real estate assets, capitalization of costs, allowances for doubtful accounts, environmental and legal reserves, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Our revenue is primarily derived from two sources: rental revenue from our rental portfolio and property sales.
Rental revenue is recognized when due from tenants. Revenue from leases with rent concessions or fixed escalations is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the related lease. The financial terms of leases are contractually defined. Rental revenue is not accrued when a tenant vacates the premises and ceases to make rent payments or files for bankruptcy.
Revenue from sales of properties is recognized using the accrual method. If a sale does not qualify for the accrual method of recognition, other deferral methods will be used as appropriate including the percentage-of-completion method. In certain cases, we retain the right to repurchase property from the buyer at a specified price. Profit on these sales is not recognized until our right to repurchase expires. In other instances, when we receive inadequate cash down payment and take a promissory note for the balance of the sale price, profit is deferred until such time as sufficient cash is received to meet minimum down payment requirements. Also, in general, specific identification and relative sales value methods are used to determine the cost of sales. Management estimates of future costs to complete infrastructure are included in cost of sales. Cost of sales recorded for each transaction is also affected by managements estimate of future sales values. A change in circumstances that causes these estimates of future costs and/or sales values to increase or decrease significantly would affect the gain or loss recognized on future sales.
16
Impairment of real estate assets
We assess the impairment of a real estate asset when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value may not be recoverable. Indicators we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
| a significant negative industry or economic trend; | |
| a significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; | |
| a significant change in the manner in which an asset is used; and | |
| an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to construct an asset. |
Real estate is stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value using the methodology described as follows: (a) for operating properties and properties held for investment, a write-down to estimated fair value is recognized when a propertys estimated undiscounted future cash flow, before interest charges, is less than its net book value; and (b) for properties held for sale, a write-down to estimated fair value is recorded when we determine that the net book value exceeds the estimated selling prices less cost to sell. These evaluations are made on a property-by-property basis. When we determine that the net book value of an asset may not be recoverable based upon the estimated undiscounted cash flow, we measure any impairment write-down based on a projected discounted cash flow method using an estimated discount rate. Value from comparable property sales will also be considered. The evaluation of future cash flows, discount rates, and fair value of individual properties requires significant judgment and assumptions, including estimates of market value, lease terms, development absorption, development costs, lease up costs, and financings. Significant adverse changes in circumstances affecting these judgments and assumptions in future periods could cause a significant impairment adjustment to be recorded.
Capitalization of costs
We capitalize direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, property taxes, insurance, and certain indirect project costs, including a portion of our general and administrative costs that are associated with the acquisition, development, or construction of a project. Interest is capitalized in accordance with FAS 34. Costs previously capitalized related to any abandoned development opportunities are written off, if we determine such costs will not provide any future benefits. Should development activity decrease, a portion of interest, property taxes, insurance, and certain general and administrative costs would no longer be eligible for capitalization and would be expensed as incurred.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
We make estimates with respect to the collectability of our receivables and provide for doubtful accounts based on several factors, including our estimate of collectability and the age of the outstanding balances. Our estimate of collectability is based on our contacts with the debtors, collection agencies, our knowledge of the debtors credit and financial condition, debtors payment terms, and current economic trends. If a debtor becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, we provide an allowance for the entire outstanding amount. Significant judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing allowances in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our allowances for any period if adverse general economic conditions cause widespread financial difficulties among our tenants.
17
Environmental and legal reserve
We incur ongoing environmental remediation costs, including clean up costs, consulting fees for environmental studies and investigations, monitoring costs, and legal costs relating to clean up, litigation defense, and the pursuit of responsible third parties. Costs incurred in connection with operating properties and properties previously sold are expensed. Costs relating to undeveloped land are capitalized as part of development costs. Costs incurred for properties to be sold are deferred and charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold.
We maintain a reserve for estimated costs of environmental remediation to be incurred in connection with operating properties and properties previously sold. The amounts for our properties to be developed or sold will be capitalized as components of development costs when incurred, which is anticipated to be over a period of twenty years, or will be deferred and charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold. Our estimates are developed based on reviews that took place over many years based upon then-prevailing law and identified site conditions. Because of the breadth of our portfolio, and past sales, we are unable to review each property extensively on a regular basis. Such estimates are not precise and are always subject to the availability of further information about the prevailing conditions at the site, the future requirements of regulatory agencies, and the availability and ability of other parties to pay some or all of such costs. Should a previously undetected, substantial environmental hazard be found on our properties, significant liquidity could be consumed by the resulting clean up requirements, and a material expense may be recorded.
The Company is a party to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot predict with certainty the final outcome of these proceedings. Where appropriate, the Company has established reserves for potential liabilities related to legal actions or threatened legal actions. These reserves are necessarily based on estimates and probabilities of the occurrence of events and, therefore, are subject to revision from time to time. Should the circumstances effecting these estimates change significantly, a material expense would be recognized.
Income taxes
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate our income taxes. Our estimates are based on interpretation of tax laws. We estimate our actual current tax due and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by Federal and State tax authorities, and changes in tax laws. To the extent adjustments are required in any given period we would include the adjustments within the tax provision in the statement of operations and/or balance sheet. Any applicable interest charges would be recorded as an expense. These adjustments could materially impact our statement of operations and liquidity.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis covers our five business segments: Asset Management; Suburban, which includes a Commercial and Residential division; Urban; and Corporate. We have historically analyzed and discussed our financial condition and results of operations based on a supplemental performance measure, Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes (EBDDT). Commencing with the first quarter of 2002, we have decided to use net income as our primary earnings measure and will present our analysis and discussion in that format. However, for comparative purposes only, a reconciliation between net income and EBDDT is provided below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, and 2001.

(1) | EBDDT is calculated by making various adjustments to net income. Depreciation, amortization, and deferred income taxes are added back to net income as they represent non-cash charges. Since depreciation expense is added back to net income in arriving at EBDDT, the portion of gain on property sales attributable to depreciation recapture is excluded from EBDDT. In addition, gains on the sale of non-strategic assets and extraordinary items, including their current tax effect, represent unusual and/or non-recurring items and are excluded from the EBDDT calculation. |
(2) | The balances for three and six months ended June 30, 2002, included $53,000 and $137,000 respectively, of depreciation and amortization attributable to discontinued operations, while $99,000 and $210,000 were included in the balances for three and six months ended June 30, 2001. |
(3) | The balances for three and six months ended June 30, 2002, included $5.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively, of deferred taxes attributable to discontinued operations. |

Asset Management:
The Asset Management segment consists of the rental activities of our wholly owned assets, our share of income from operating joint ventures, and activity related to our desert portfolio. Growth in this segment is attributed primarily to the transfer of property developed by the Suburban-Commercial and Urban segments that we intend to hold and operate. Net income consists of rental property operations and gains from the sale of rental properties. The following is a schedule of net income for the segment:

Rental Revenue less Property Operating Costs
Rental revenue less property operating costs increased mainly because of additions of buildings, new ground leases, and rental increases from renewals on Same Space (properties that were owned and operated for the entire current year and the entire immediately preceding year are referred to as Same Space) partially offset by properties sold. From July 2001 to June 2002, we added a net 4.8 million square feet to our rental portfolio. Rental revenue less operating costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, are summarized as follows:

We do not expect substantial changes in rental income from our Same Space rental portfolio. Rather, we expect growth in overall portfolio rental income will result primarily from new properties we add to our rental portfolio over time.
Rental revenue less operating costs increased $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001, primarily attributable to $5.1 million from the additions of buildings and $0.8 million and $0.2 million increases in revenue from Same Space and ground leases, respectively, partially offset by $1.1 million from properties sold.
Rental revenue less operating costs increased $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001, primarily attributable to $9.5 million from the additions of buildings and $2.3 million and $1.6 million increases in revenue from Same Space and ground leases, respectively, partially offset by $2.4 million from properties sold.
Equity in Earnings of Operating Joint Ventures
Equity in earnings of operating joint ventures, net, decreased by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, over the same period in 2001, primarily because of lower occupancy rate in a hotel owned by a joint venture. Equity in earnings of operating joint ventures, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, approximated that of the same period of 2001 (See Variability in Results section).

Property Sales
Gain on property sales was $3.3 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to $8.4 million and $19.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, summarized as follows (see additional property sales in Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax section):

Property sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, include the sale of a 130,000 square foot existing operating building, as the tenant exercised its purchase option.
Property sales for the three months ended June 30, 2001, include the closings of 22.31 acres of ground leases. Property sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001, include the closings of 164.6 acres of ground leases and 134,000 square feet of existing operating properties.
Other sales in the table above include the sales of ground leases that we had acquired in 1998 with the intent to sell. These sales totaled 344.5 acres and 453.5 acres for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to 373.3 acres and 486.6 acres for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The $0.4 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002, is primarily due to a $0.1 million increase in leasing costs and a $0.2 million increase in employee-related expenses. The expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002, approximated those for the same period in 2001.
Other
Other decreased by $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001, because of lower interest income from restricted cash generated by tax-deferred exchanges and from short-term investment accounts. Other increased by $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001, because of $7.3 million in lease buyout proceeds from a major tenant, partially offset by lower interest income from restricted cash generated by tax-deferred exchanges and from short-term investment accounts.
Interest
Interest expense was $18.9 million and $37.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to $18.2 million and $37.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The increases are primarily because of new debt associated with and collateralized by the newly completed and retained buildings.
22
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.7 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2001. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2002, is because of a $2.7 million increase from new buildings added to the portfolio between July 2001 and June 2002. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was because of a $3.2 million increase from new buildings added to the portfolio between July 2001 and June 2002 and a $0.3 million increase in amortization of lease commissions.
Gain on Non-Strategic Asset Sales
Gain on sales of non-strategic assets increased $5.7 million and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2001, primarily because of higher sales of remaining desert property.
Minority Interests
In 1999, we formed a subsidiary real estate investment trust (REIT) for financing purposes and sold 10% of this subsidiarys stock to minority investors. This subsidiary is consolidated for financial reporting purposes.
Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, which requires that all gains and losses from certain properties sold subsequent to January 1, 2002, and the operations of such properties be shown as discontinued operations (see Note 10 of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details).
Discontinued operations sales for the three months ended June 30, 2002, include 265,000 square feet of operating properties. No significant ground lease sales occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, discontinued operations sales include of 3.1 acres of ground leases and 569,000 square feet of operating properties.

The decreases in gain from land sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001, were primarily attributable to lower sales volume and margins.
For the three months ended June 30, 2002, commercial sales include the closings of improved land capable of supporting 1.3 million square feet of commercial development, as compared to closings of improved land capable of supporting 0.8 million square feet of commercial development for the three months ended June 30, 2001. There were no build-to-suit sales during the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.
24
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, commercial sales include the closings of improved land capable of supporting 3.3 million square feet of commercial development, as compared to closings of improved land capable of supporting 1.0 million square feet of commercial development for the six months ended June 30, 2001. No build-to-suit sales occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the closing of the sale of 153,000 square feet of built-to-suit in the same period of 2001 (see Variability in Results section).
Management and Development Fees
Management and development fees for the three months ended June 30, 2002, approximated that of the same period in 2001. Management and development fees decreased by $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily because of the development and management fees related to a construction management contract with a ground lease lessee, partially offset by the management fees related to a build-to-suit construction management contract and the loan guarantee fees related to an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture (see Notes 8 and 9 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for details).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, primarily due to decreases in employee-related expenses and expenses incurred in 2001 on investment transactions that did not materialize.
Other
Other income decreased by $1.3 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2001, primarily because of $0.9 million and $1.2 million higher real estate taxes and $0.2 million and $0.4 million lower interest income from restricted cash generated by tax-deferred exchanges, respectively.

The gain on property sales of $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, included $22.1 million from the closings of 271 lots, as compared to the $8.1 million gain from closings of 227 lots and 55 homes during the same period in 2001. In addition, the gain also included $0.6 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, of our portion of profit participation related to certain properties that were sold in the prior year.

Equity in earnings of development joint ventures, net, increased $8.9 million and $9.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2001. The increase of $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, was attributable to the increase in sales volume from the closing of 466 lots and 21 homes, compared to the closing of 28 lots and 67 homes for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
The increase of $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was attributable to the increase in sales volume from the closing of 1,512 lots and 32 homes compared to the closing of 153 lots and 132 homes for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was partially offset by the decrease of $6.2 million from the sale of our interest in a joint venture managed by Brookfield Homes of California, Inc. in 2001 (see Variability in Results and Segment Reorganization sections).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2001, primarily due to employee-related expenses. We anticipate the decline in selling, general and administrative expenses will continue (see Segment Reorganization section).
Other
Other income increased $3.0 million and $4.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2001, because of $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of expenses related to cost overruns on a fixed price contract for a development project in 2001 and an increase in interest income of $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, attributable to higher short-term investments.
Minority Interest
Minority interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, decreased $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, primarily because of the sale in 2001 of a 190-home site in Oxnard, California, by a consolidated joint venture.
Segment Reorganization
In mid-2001, we sold the homebuilding assets of the residential group, and at the beginning of 2002 the remaining residential development operations of the company were combined with the Suburban development group. Additionally, a number of residential sales were accelerated into the first two quarters of this year in order to take advantage of strong markets in certain projects. As a result of these events, future net income generated by residential activities are expected to decline significantly in future periods.

Urban:
The Urban segment entitles and develops urban mixed-use sites in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The principal active project of the segment is Mission Bay in San Francisco. The following is a schedule of net income for the segment:

Property Sales
The 2001 gains resulted from land sales of approximately 2.4 acres and 3.7 acres of land at Mission Bay, and San Diego, respectively. There were no land sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 (See Variability in Results section).
Management and Development Fees
Management and development fees increased $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily because of development management activities commenced in September 2001 related to a new joint venture development at Mission Bay.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The increase of $0.7 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2001, was primarily attributable to employee-related expenses.
Other
The $0.2 million decrease in other for the three months ended June 30, 2002, was primarily due to decrease in interest income earned from short-term investments accounts. The $3.6 million decrease in other for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was primarily because the receipt of a lease termination payment related to the cancellation of a lease at the Mission Bay project in 2001.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2001, because of demolished buildings in Mission Bay and San Diego were removed from service for development purposes.

Interest (contra-expense)
Corporate interest (contra-expense) represents required capitalized interest, on qualifying assets in the Suburban and Urban segments, in excess of interest directly incurred by these segments. As these qualifying assets are sold, the corresponding capitalized interest is reflected as cost of sales in the Corporate segment. Or, for those assets transferred to Asset Management, as the assets are placed in service the corresponding interest capitalized is added to the cost basis of the asset and depreciated over the life of the building. The increase in interest (contra expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, is primarily because of the increase in qualifying assets in the operating segments.
Cost of Sales
As noted above, as the qualifying assets from other segments are sold, the corresponding capitalized interest is reflected as cost of sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, cost of sales were $1.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as compared to $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. The increases were attributable to unit sales from the Residential segment.
Corporate Administrative Costs
Corporate administrative costs consist primarily of general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2001, primarily due to decreases in employee related expenses and professional fees.
Other
The decrease in other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, is primarily attributable to lower interest income generated from a lower cash balance and lower interest rates on short-term investments.
29
Income taxes
Currently for 2002, our projected current tax rate is 17.47% and deferred tax rate is 22.55% as compared to 8.49% and 31.53%, respectively, for 2001. Current tax rates increased in the second quarter of 2002, compared to the second quarter of 2001, primarily due to decreased employee stock option exercises in 2002, timing differences related to residential land and building sales, and reduced tax deductible interest expense (due to lower interest rates) paid to a closely held mortgage real estate investment trust. The current tax rate is projected to increase in future periods.
Variability in Results
Although our rental properties provide relatively stable operating results, our earnings from period to period will be affected by the nature and timing of acquisitions and sales of property. Many of our projects require a lengthy process to complete the development cycle before they are sold. Also, sales of assets are difficult to predict given fluctuating economic conditions and are generally subject to lengthy negotiations and contingencies that need to be resolved before closing. These factors may tend to bunch income in particular periods rather than producing a more even pattern throughout the year or from year to year. In addition, gross margins may vary significantly as the mix of property varies. The cost basis of the properties sold varies because (i) properties have been owned for varying periods of time; (ii) properties are owned in various geographical locations; and (iii) development projects have varying infrastructure costs and build-out periods.
The variability of the timing of property sales, as noted above, has resulted in realization of a high level of gain from sales activity in the first and second quarter of 2002. It is expected that a similar high level of gains from sales will not occur in the third and fourth quarters of this year. Consequently, third and fourth quarter 2002 Net Income and Earnings Per Share will be lower than those reported in the first and second quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations, and commitments
We have the following off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations, and commitments, which are disclosed in various sections of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and elsewhere in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. They exist in the following areas:
| Unconsolidated real estate joint ventures- capital contribution requirements |
| Debt and debt service guarantees |
| Surety bonds and standby letters of credit |
| Executed contracts for construction and development activity |
Unconsolidated real estate joint ventures- capital contribution requirements
We have investments in eleven unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. Five of the joint ventures are involved in the operation of rental real estate properties, and the remaining six are involved in real estate development for investment or sale. We use the equity method of accounting for all of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
We are required to make additional capital contributions to one of the unconsolidated joint ventures should additional capital contributions be necessary to fund cost overruns if actual development costs exceed the approved project development budget. The development budget is approximately $252.5 million, of which $165 million is anticipated to be funded from construction loan proceeds, $62.5 million from our partners and the remaining $25 million from us. We are currently negotiating the $165 million loan. As of June 30, 2002, no additional capital contribution is expected to be necessary.
As of June 30, 2002, we have also agreed with another of our unconsolidated joint ventures to fund up to $5.7 million for certain construction costs, if necessary.
Debt and debt service guarantees
We have made certain debt service guarantees with four of our unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $51.6 million. Of the total guarantees, $34.1 million relates to three unconsolidated residential development joint ventures, and $17.5 million relates to an unconsolidated commercial development joint venture. These debt service guarantees are typical business arrangements commonly required of developers in real estate development. Examples of events that would require us to provide a cash payment pursuant to a guarantee include a loan default, which would result from failure of the primary borrower to service the debt when due, or non-compliance of the primary borrower with financial covenants and inadequacy of asset collateral. Our guarantee exposure is generally limited to situations in which the value of the collateral is not sufficient to satisfy the outstanding indebtedness. At June 30, 2002, we have not been required to satisfy any amounts pursuant to these debt and debt service guarantees.
Surety bonds, standby letters of credit and commitments
As of June 30, 2002, we have $295.0 million in surety bonds, outstanding standby letters of credit in favor of local municipalities or financial institutions and commitments to guarantee the construction of real property improvements or financial obligations. Surety bonds and commitments are to guarantee the construction of public improvements, and infrastructure such as sewer, streets, traffic signals, grading, and wildlife preservations, in connection with our various development projects. Surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies from developers in real estate development. The surety bonds and standby letters of credit are renewable and expire upon completion of the required improvements. Standby letters of credit are a form of credit enhancement commonly required in real estate development when bonds are issued to finance public improvements.
Executed contracts for construction and development activity
At June 30, 2002, we have open construction and development contracts with vendors totaling $139.4 million related to our various projects, as compared to $273.3 million at December 31, 2001.
