In recent years the largest one-timers have been gains (both recognized and unrecognized) on investments we have made in securities of other real estate companies or
|
|
in other companies that we view as real estate-based businesses disguised as operating companies. Here is
a summary of these gains: |
Alexander's and Toys "R" Us are appropriately not shown here. Alexander's is a core holding which we account for on the equity method. We do, however, treat our share of Alexander's stock appreciation rights as non-comparable. I've always found it odd that our income statement is
|
|
penalized with expense coming from the appreciation of our Alexander's stockholdings, but so be it. Toys "R" Us has been treated as non-comparable until its first full year cycled. Going forward it will be accounted for as a recurring separate business segment.
