Forward-Looking Statements
Management has included herein certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. When used, statements which are not historical in nature, including the
words anticipate, estimate, should, expect, believe, intend and similar expressions,
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are, by their nature,
subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Risks and other factors that might cause future
results to differ from the statements include, but are not limited to, the effect of economic and
market conditions; risks that our acquisition and development projects will fail to perform as
expected; financing risks, such as the inability to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable
terms; the level and volatility of interest rates; loss or bankruptcy of one or more of our major
retail tenants; and failure of our properties to generate additional income to offset increases
in operating expenses. For a description of the specific risks associated with the operation of
our business, please see our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
Overview
We were established to continue to operate and expand the retail property business of our
predecessor. We commenced operations in April 1994. Our assets are held by, and all operations
are conducted through, Agree Limited Partnership (the Operating Partnership), of which Agree
Realty Corporation is the sole general partner and held a 91.93% interest as of June 30, 2005. We
are operating so as to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax
purposes.
On January 25, 2005, we completed an offering of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $28.28 per
share. On February 7, 2005, the underwriter exercised its over allotment option for an additional
150,000 shares at the same per share price (collectively, the 2005 Offering). The net proceeds
from the 2005 Offering of approximately $31.5 million were used to repay amounts outstanding our
credit facility.
The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Agree
Realty Corporation, including the respective notes thereto, which are included in this Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123
(R), to expand and clarify SFAS No. 123 in several areas. The Statement requires companies to
measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument
based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the requisite
service period (usually the vesting period) for the estimated number of instruments where service
is expected to be rendered. This statement is effective for the interim reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect that our financial statements will be
materially impacted by SFAS No. 123 (R).
Critical Accounting Policies
In the course of developing and evaluating accounting policies and procedures, we use estimates,
assumptions and judgements to determine the most appropriate methods to be applied. Such
processes are used in determining revenue recognition, capitalization of costs related to real
estate investments, potential impairment of real estate investments, operating cost
reimbursements, and taxable income.
Minimum rental income attributable to leases is recorded when due from tenants. Certain leases
provide for additional percentage rents based on tenants sales volumes. These percentage rents
are recognized when determinable by us. In addition, leases for certain tenants contain rent
escalations and/or free rent during the first several months of the lease term; however such
amounts are not material.
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All costs related to
planning, development and construction of buildings prior to the date they become operational,
including interest and real estate taxes during the construction period, are capitalized for
financial reporting purposes and recorded as property under development until construction has
been completed. Subsequent to completion of construction, expenditures for property maintenance
are charged to operations as incurred, while significant renovations are capitalized.
Depreciation of the buildings is recorded on the straight-line method using an estimated useful
life of forty years.
In determining the fair value of real estate investments, we consider future cash flow
projections on a property by property basis, current interest rates and current market conditions
of the geographical location of each property.
Substantially all of our leases contain provisions requiring tenants to pay as additional rent a
proportionate share of operating expenses (Operating Cost Reimbursements) such as real estate
taxes, repairs and maintenance, insurance, etc. The related revenue from tenant billings is
recognized in the same period the expense is recorded.

Part I
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the Code), commencing with our 1994 tax year. As a result, we are not subject to federal income
taxes to the extent that we distribute annually at least 90% of its taxable income to our
stockholders and satisfy certain other requirements defined in the Code. Accordingly, no
provision was made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
Minimum rental income increased $1,655,000, or 13%, to $14,469,000 in 2005, compared to
$12,814,000 in 2004. The increase was the result of an increase of $740,000 due to additional
rent resulting from the acquisition of our joint venture partners interest in two joint venture
properties in 2004, an increase of $548,000 from the development and acquisition of five
properties in 2004, an increase of $64,000 from the settlement of our rent dispute with Borders
and rental increases of $303,000 from new and existing tenants.
Percentage rental income remained relatively constant at $31,000 in 2005 and $41,000 in 2004.
Operating Cost Reimbursements increased $43,000, or 3%, to $1,573,000 in 2005, compared to
$1,530,000 in 2004. Operating cost reimbursements increased due to the increase in real estate
taxes and property operating expenses as explained below.
Other income increased $15,000, to $17,000 in 2005, compared to $2,000 in 2004. The increase was
the result of a leasing commission earned by us during 2005.
Real estate taxes increased $3,000, or 1%, to $931,000 in 2005, compared to $928,000 in 2004. The

Property operating expenses (shopping center maintenance, insurance and utilities) increased
$74,000, or 7%, to $1,165,000 in 2005 compared to $1,091,000 in 2004. The increase was the result

Interest expense decreased $235,000, or 10%, to $2,028,000 in 2005, from $2,263,000 in 2004.
The decrease in interest expense resulted from decreased borrowings as a result of the reduction
in outstanding indebtedness from the application of the net proceeds of the 2005 Offering.
Equity in net income of unconsolidated entities totaled $194,000 in 2004. There was no income
from unconsolidated entities in 2005 since we acquired the interest of our joint venture partner

from the acquisition of our joint venture partners interest in two joint venture properties in
2004, an increase of $204,000 from the development and acquisition of three properties in 2004
and rental increases of $130,000 from new and existing tenants.
Percentage rental income decreased $10,000, to $6,000 in 2005 compared to $16,000 in 2004. The

Operating Cost Reimbursements increased $85,000, or 12%, to $769,000 in 2005, compared to
$684,000 in 2004. Operating cost reimbursements increased due to the increase in property
operating expenses as explained below.
Other income increased $17,000, to $17,000 in 2005, compared to $-0- in 2004. The increase was
primarily the result of a leasing commission earned by us during 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for liquidity are distributions to our stockholders, debt repayment,
development of new properties and future property acquisitions.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we declared a quarterly dividend of $.49 per share. The
dividend was paid on July 14, 2005, to holders of record on June 30, 2005.
As of June 30, 2005, we had total mortgage indebtedness of $52,674,851 with a weighted average
interest rate of 6.63%. Future scheduled annual maturities of mortgages payable for the years
ending June 30 are as follows: 2006 $2,262,911; 2007 $2,536,962; 2008 $2,700,189; 2009 -
$2,874,208; and 2010 $3,069,957. This mortgage debt is all fixed rate debt.
In addition, the operating partnership has in place a $50 million credit facility with Standard
Federal Bank, as the agent (Credit Facility), which we guarantee. The Credit Facility matures in
November 2006 and can be extended for an additional three years. During the three year extension
period, we will have no further ability to borrow under this facility and will be required to
repay a portion of the unpaid principal on a quarterly basis. Advances under the Credit Facility
bear interest within a range of one month to six month LIBOR plus 150 basis points to 213 basis
points or the banks prime rate, at our option, based on certain factors such as debt to property
value and debt service coverage. The Credit Facility is used to fund property acquisitions and
development activities and is secured by most of our properties which are not otherwise
encumbered and properties to be acquired or developed. As of June 30, 2005 $9,000,000 was
outstanding under the Credit Facility bearing a weighted average interest rate of 4.95%.
We also have in place a $5 million line of credit (Line of Credit), which matures on June
30, 2006. The Line of Credit bears interest at the lenders prime rate less 50 basis points or
175 basis points in excess of the one-month LIBOR rate, at our option. The purpose of the Line
of Credit is to provide working capital to the Company and fund land options and start-up costs
associated with new projects. As of June 30, 2005, $1,800,000 was outstanding under the Line of
Credit bearing a weighted average interest rate of 5.50%.

We have two development projects under construction that will add an additional 29,379
square feet of GLA to our portfolio. One project is expected to be completed during the third
quarter of 2005 and the second project is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of
2005. Additional funding required to complete the projects are estimated to be $1,558,000 and
will come from the Credit Facility.
We intend to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related
to the leasing and improvement of the properties, through its cash flow provided by operations
and the Line of Credit. We believe that adequate cash flow will be available to fund our
operations and pay dividends in accordance with REIT requirements. We may obtain additional funds
for future development or acquisitions through other borrowings or the issuance of additional
shares of common stock. We intend to incur additional debt in a manner consistent with our
policy of maintaining a ratio of total debt (including construction and acquisition financing) to
total market capitalization of 65% or less. We believe that these financing sources will enable
us to generate funds sufficient to meet both our short-term and long-term capital needs.
We plan to begin construction of additional pre-leased developments and may acquire additional
properties, which will initially be financed by the Credit Facility and Lien of Credit. We will
periodically refinance short-term construction and acquisition financing with long-term debt and
/ or equity.

Inflation
Our leases generally contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on
net income. These provisions include clauses enabling the us to pass through to tenants certain
operating costs, including real estate taxes, common area maintenance, utilities and insurance,
thereby reducing the our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from
inflation. Certain of our leases contain clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on
tenants gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and, in certain cases, escalation
clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition,
expiring tenant leases permit us to seek increased rents upon re-lease at market rates if rents
are below the then existing market rates.
Funds from Operations
We consider Funds from Operations (FFO) to be a useful supplemental measure to evaluate our
operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding
depreciation FFO can help one compare the operating performance of our real estate between periods
or compare such performance to that of different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental
measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with
using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical
cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value
of real estate assets diminishes predictable over time. Since real estate values instead have
historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of
operating results for real estate companies that uses historical cost accounting is insufficient
by itself.
FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) to
mean net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),
excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary
indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of
liquidity. While we adhere to the NAREIT definition of FFO in making our calculation our method of
calculating FFO may not be comparable to the methods used by other REITs and accordingly may be
different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following tables illustrate the calculation of FFO for the six months and three months ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004:

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its borrowing activities. There is
inherent roll over risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates.
The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future
interest rates and our future financing requirements.
Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the
principal payments (in thousands) and the weighted average interest rates on remaining debt, by
year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate
changes.

variable rate debt, respectively.

The table above incorporates those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2005; it does not
consider those exposures or position, which could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate
realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that
arise during the period and interest rates.
We do not enter into financial instruments transactions for trading or other speculative purposes
or to manage interest rate exposure.
A 10% adverse change in interest rates on the portion of our debt bearing interest at variable
rates would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $44,000.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
At December 31, 2004 management identified a material weakness in our internal controls regarding
the segregation of duties resulting from the fact that we do not have an accounting staff
sufficient to enable us to comply with acceptable internal controls under Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. At June 30, 2005, we had nine employees, one of which (our Chief
Financial Officer) was engaged full time in the period-end financial reporting process. Our audit
committee has engaged an independent third party consultant to perform periodic reviews of our
financial reporting process to help mitigate the material weakness in our internal controls.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of
the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on this evaluation as of June 30, 2005, and due to the material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting as described above, our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the
Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in SEC rules and forms. There was no change in our internal control over financial
reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Or audit committee has engaged independent third party consultants to perform periodic reviews of
our financial reporting process to help mitigate the material weakness in our internal controls.
