5. Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”)

 

We are the general partner and investment manager of our $800,000,000 Fund, to which we committed $200,000,000. The Fund has an eight-year term and a three-year investment period, which concludes in July 2013. During the investment period, the Fund is our exclusive investment vehicle for all investments that fit within its investment parameters, as defined. The Fund is accounted for under the AICPA Investment Company Guide and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.

 

At March 31, 2013, the Fund had nine investments with an aggregate fair value of $571,306,000, or $81,158,000 in excess of cost, and had remaining unfunded commitments of $257,956,000, of which our share was $64,489,000.
