Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties
General
Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (the Company), organized in 1984, is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust which focuses primarily on ownership and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers straddling the Washington DC to Boston corridor. At December 31, 2012, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 67 operating properties (excluding properties held for sale/conveyance) totaling approximately 9.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA). The portfolio was 91.9% occupied and 92.7% leased at December 31, 2012.
In keeping with its stated goal of reducing overall leverage to an appropriate level by selling non-core assets, the Company determined in 2011 (1) to completely exit the Ohio market, principally the Discount Drug Mart portfolio of drugstore/convenience centers, and concentrate on the region straddling the Washington DC to Boston corridor, (2) to concentrate on grocery-anchored strip centers, by disposing of its mall and single-tenant/triple-net-lease properties, (3) to focus on improving operations and performance at the Companys remaining properties, and (4) to reduce development activities, by disposing of certain development projects, land acquired for development, and other non-core assets.
On October 10, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (RioCan) to exit the 20% Cedar / 80% RioCan joint venture that owned 22 retail properties. On October 12, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with Homburg Invest Inc. (HII) relating to the application of the buy/sell provisions of the joint venture agreements for each of the nine properties owned by the joint venture. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Significant Transactions below for additional information relating to these transactions.
The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). To qualify as a REIT under those provisions, the Company must have a preponderant percentage of its assets invested in, and income derived from, real estate and related sources. The Companys objectives are to provide to its shareholders a professionally-managed real estate portfolio consisting primarily of grocery-anchored shopping centers straddling the Washington DC to Boston corridor, which will provide substantial cash flow, currently and in the future, taking into account an acceptable modest risk profile, and which will present opportunities for additional growth in income and capital appreciation.
The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation, has established an umbrella partnership structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to Cedar Realty Trust Partnership L.P. (the Operating Partnership), organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2012, the Company owned 99.6% of the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. The approximately 281,000 limited Operating Partnership Units (OP Units) are economically equivalent to the Companys common stock and are convertible into the Companys common stock at the option of the holders on a one-to-one basis.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases. The Companys operating results

therefore depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments required by the terms of their leases. The Company focuses its investment activities on grocery-anchored community shopping centers. The Company believes that, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, its type of necessities-based properties should provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.
The Company, the Operating Partnership, their subsidiaries and affiliated partnerships are separate legal entities. For ease of reference, the terms we, our, us, Company and Operating Partnership (including their respective subsidiaries and affiliates) refer to the business and properties of all these entities, unless the context otherwise requires. The Companys executive offices are located at 44 South Bayles Avenue, Port Washington, New York 11050-3765 (telephone 516-767-6492). The Company also maintains property management, construction management and/or leasing offices at several of its shopping-center properties. The Companys website can be accessed at www.cedarrealtytrust.com, where a copy of the Companys Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) can be obtained free of charge. These SEC filings are added to the website as soon as reasonably practicable. The Companys Code of Ethics, corporate governance guidelines and committee charters are also available on the website.

(a) | Average base rent is calculated as the aggregate, annualized contractual minimum rent for all occupied spaces divided by the aggregate GLA of all occupied spaces as of December 31, 2012. Tenant concessions are reflected in this measure except for a limited number of short-term (generally one to three months) free rent concessions provided to new tenants that took occupancy prior to the end of the reporting period but within the concession period. Average base rent would have been $11.79 per square foot if all such free rent concessions were reflected. |
The terms of the Companys retail leases generally vary from tenancies at will to 25 years, excluding renewal options. Anchor tenant leases are typically for 10 to 25 years, with one or more renewal options available to the lessee upon expiration of the initial lease term. By contrast, smaller store leases are typically negotiated for five-year terms. The longer terms of major tenant leases serve to protect the Company against significant vacancies and to assure the presence of strong tenants which draw consumers to its centers. The shorter terms of smaller store leases allow the Company under appropriate circumstances to adjust rental rates periodically for non-major store space and, where possible, to upgrade or adjust the overall tenant mix.
Most leases contain provisions requiring tenants to pay their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and certain operating costs. Some leases also provide that tenants pay percentage rent based upon sales volume generally in excess of certain negotiated minimums.
Giant Food Stores, LLC, Stop & Shop, Inc. and Martins at Glen Allen, each of which is owned by Ahold N.V., a Netherlands corporation, leased an aggregate of approximately 13%, 13% and 11% of the Companys GLA at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and accounted for an aggregate of approximately 15%, 14% and 14% of the Companys total revenues during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. No other tenant leased more than 10% of GLA at December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010, or contributed more than 10% of total revenues during 2012, 2011 or 2010.

Executive Offices
The Companys executive offices are located at 44 South Bayles Avenue, Port Washington, New York, in which it presently occupies approximately 14,700 square feet pursuant to a lease from a partnership owned in part by the Companys former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The lease expires in February 2020.
Competition
The Company believes that competition for the acquisition and operation of retail shopping and convenience centers is highly fragmented. It faces competition from institutional investors, public and private REITs, owner-operators engaged in the acquisition, ownership and leasing of shopping centers, as well as from numerous local, regional and national real estate developers and owners in each of its markets. It also faces competition in leasing available space at its properties to prospective tenants. Competition for tenants varies depending upon the characteristics of each local market in which the Company owns and manages properties. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in its market areas are location, price and other lease terms, the presence of anchor tenants, the mix, quality and sales results of other tenants, and maintenance, appearance, access and traffic patterns of its properties.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or other contaminants at property owned, leased, managed or otherwise operated by such person, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, and for investigation and cleanup costs in connection with such contamination. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such conditions, may adversely affect the owners, lessors or operators ability to sell or rent such property or to arrange financing using such property as collateral. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of real estate, the Company may potentially become liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs and liabilities, including governmental fines and injuries to persons and/or property. Generally, the Companys tenants must comply with environmental laws and meet any remediation requirements. In addition, leases typically impose obligations on tenants to indemnify the Company from any compliance costs the Company may incur as a result of environmental conditions on the property caused by the tenant. However, if a lease does not require compliance, or if a tenant fails to or cannot comply, the Company could be forced to pay these costs.
The Company believes that environmental studies conducted at the time of acquisition with respect to its properties have not revealed environmental liabilities that would have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or liquidity. However, no assurances can be given that existing environmental studies with respect to any of the properties reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner of or tenant at a property did not create a material environmental condition not known to the Company, or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist at any one or more of its properties. If a material environmental condition does in fact exist, it could have an adverse impact upon the Companys financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Employees
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had 88 employees (84 full-time and four part-time). The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.
Although improving, economic conditions in the U.S. economy in general, and specifically uncertainty in the credit markets and retail environment, could adversely affect our ability to continue to pay dividends or cause us to reduce further the amount of our dividends.
The Company paid dividends totaling $0.20 per share during 2012, reduced from $0.36 per share during 2011. However, as a result of the state of the U.S. economy, constrained capital markets, and the difficult retail environment, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be forced, once again, to reduce or suspend (as done on April 2, 2009 until reinstituted on January 20, 2010) the payment of dividends.
Any volatility and instability in the credit markets could adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing or to refinance existing indebtedness.
Any instability in the credit markets may negatively impact our ability to access debt financing, to arrange property-specific financing or to refinance our existing debt as it matures on favorable terms or at all. As a result, we may be forced to seek potentially less attractive financings, including equity investments, on terms that may not be favorable to us. In doing so, the Company may be compelled to dilute the interests of existing shareholders that could also adversely reduce the trading price of our common stock.
Our properties consist primarily of grocery-anchored community shopping centers. Our performance therefore is linked to economic conditions in the market for retail space generally.
Our properties consist primarily of grocery-anchored community shopping centers, and our performance therefore is linked to economic conditions in the market for retail space generally. This also means that we are subject to the risks that affect the retail environment generally, including the levels of consumer spending, the willingness of retailers to lease space in our shopping centers, tenant bankruptcies, changes in economic conditions and consumer confidence. A downturn in the U.S. economy and reduced consumer spending could impact our tenants ability to meet their lease obligations due to poor operating results, lack of liquidity or other reasons, and therefore decrease the revenue generated by our properties and/or the value of our properties. Our ability to lease space and negotiate and maintain favorable rents could also be negatively impacted by the state of the U.S. economy. Moreover, the demand for leasing space in our shopping centers could also significantly decline during a significant downturn in the U.S. economy that could result in a decline in our occupancy percentage and reduction in rental revenues. The U.S. economy has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience, substantial unemployment at rates which approach their highest levels in the countrys history. Such levels of reported unemployment may in fact mask more serious unemployment issues, such as persons who have not sought to re-enter the labor force after having been unemployed for substantial periods of time and, further, may not fairly reflect persons who are under-employed or temporarily employed. Sustained levels of high unemployment can be expected to have a serious negative impact on consumer spending in affected areas. While unemployment levels may vary considerably in different areas of the country, and within the
13
Table of Contents
markets in which we presently operate, any sustained unemployment may have a continuing negative impact on sales by our tenants at our various shopping centers.
There has been ongoing pressure on prices of petroleum products resulting from actual or potential dislocations in the worlds supply caused by political turmoil in countries which are major sources or distribution links for such products. This has tended to adversely impact the pricing of gasoline, among other products, in this country, which may cause shoppers to restrict their trips by automobile to shopping centers, reduce their purchases of gasoline and other products from the fuel service stations at several of our properties, as well as reduce their levels of discretionary spending, all of which, in turn, could adversely affect sales at our properties.
Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and with the real estate industry.
Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and with the real estate industry, including, among other things, risks related to adverse changes in national, regional and local economic and market conditions. Our continued ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders depends on our ability to generate sufficient revenues to meet operating expenses, future debt service and capital expenditure requirements. Events and conditions generally applicable to owners and operators of real property that are beyond our control may decrease cash available for distribution and the value of our properties. These events and conditions include, but may not be limited to, the following:
1. | local oversupply, increased competition or declining demand for real estate; |
2. | local economic conditions, which may be adversely impacted by plant closings, business layoffs, industry slow-downs, weather conditions, natural disasters and other factors; |
3. | non-payment or deferred payment of rent or other charges by tenants, either as a result of tenant-specific financial ills, or general economic events or circumstances adversely affecting consumer disposable income or credit; |
4. | vacancies or an inability to rent space on acceptable terms; |
5. | increased operating costs, including real estate taxes, insurance premiums, utilities, and repairs and maintenance; |
6. | volatility and/or increases in interest rates, or the non-availability of funds in the credit markets in general; |
7. | increased costs of complying with current, new or expanded governmental regulations; |
8. | the relative illiquidity of real estate investments; |
9. | changing market demographics; |
10. | changing traffic patterns; |
11. | an inability to arrange property-specific replacement financing for maturing mortgage loans in acceptable amounts and/or on acceptable terms. |

Our substantial indebtedness and any constraints on credit may impede our operating performance, and put us at a competitive disadvantage.
Our substantial debt may harm our business and operating results by (1) requiring us to use a substantial portion of our available liquidity to pay required debt service and/or repayments or establish additional reserves, which would reduce amounts available for distributions, (2) placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less debt or debt at more favorable terms, (3) making us more vulnerable to economic and industry downturns and reducing our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions, and (4) limiting our ability to borrow more money for operations or capital expenditures. In addition, increases in interest rates may impede our operating performance and put us at a competitive disadvantage. Further, payments of required debt service or amounts due at maturity, or creation of additional reserves under loan agreements, could adversely affect our liquidity.
If we fail to dispose of properties presently held for sale or reduce our outstanding indebtedness, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We have announced plans to dispose of certain shopping centers and land parcels owned by us and to use the proceeds from the dispositions to reduce our outstanding indebtedness. If we fail to dispose of these properties in a timely fashion or if we do not realize the proceeds presently anticipated from such sales, we will not be able to reduce our outstanding debt as presently planned and we may require new or additional impairment provisions, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
As substantially all of our revenues are derived from rental income, failure of tenants to pay rent or delays in arranging leases and occupancy at our properties could seriously harm our operating results and financial condition.
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from rental income from our properties. Our tenants may experience a downturn in their respective businesses and/or in the economy generally at any time that may weaken their financial condition. As a result, any such tenants may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent, or declare bankruptcy. Any leasing delays, failure to make rental or other payments when due, or tenant bankruptcies, could result in the termination of tenants leases, which would have a negative impact on our operating results. In addition, adverse market and economic conditions and competition may impede our ability to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire, which could harm our business and operating results.
Our business may be seriously harmed if a major tenant fails to renew its lease(s) or vacates one or more properties and prevents us from re-leasing such premises by continuing to pay base rent for the balance of the lease terms. In addition, the loss of such a major tenant could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants at the affected properties, as provided in their respective leases.
We may be restricted from re-leasing space based on existing exclusivity lease provisions with some of our tenants. In these cases, the leases contain provisions giving the tenant the exclusive right to sell particular types of merchandise or provide specific types of services within the particular retail center, which limits the ability of other tenants within that center to sell such merchandise or provide such services. When re-leasing space after a vacancy by one of such other tenants, such lease provisions may limit the number and types of prospective tenants for the
15
Table of Contents
vacant space. The failure to re-lease space or to re-lease space on satisfactory terms could harm operating results.
Any bankruptcy filings by, or relating to, one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would generally bar efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant, or lease guarantor, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. A bankruptcy by a tenant or lease guarantor could delay efforts to collect past due balances, and could ultimately preclude full or, in fact, any collection of such sums. If a lease is affirmed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must generally be paid in full. However, if a lease is disaffirmed by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only an unsecured claim for damages, which would be paid normally only to the extent that funds are available, and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other members of the same class of unsecured creditors. It is possible, and indeed likely, that we would recover substantially less than, or in fact no portion of, the full value of any unsecured claims we hold, which may in turn harm our financial condition.
Specifically, Giant Food Stores, LLC, Stop & Shop, Inc. and Martins at Glen Allen, each of which is owned by Ahold N.V., a Netherlands corporation, leased an aggregate of approximately 13% of the Companys GLA at December 31, 2012, and accounted for an aggregate of approximately 15% of the Companys total revenues during 2012. No other tenant leased more than 10% of GLA at December 31, 2012 or contributed more than 10% of total revenues during 2012.
New Technology developments may impact customer traffic at certain tenants stores and ultimately sales at such stores.
We may be adversely affected by developments of new technology which may cause the business of certain of our tenants to become substantially diminished or functionally obsolete, with the result that such tenants may be unable to pay rent, become insolvent, file for bankruptcy protection, close their stores, or terminate their leases. Examples of the potentially adverse effects of new technology on retail businesses include, amongst other things, the advent of on-line movie rentals on video stores, the effect of e-books and small screen readers on book stores, and increased sales of many products on-line.
Substantial recent annual increases in on-line sales have also caused many retailers to sell products on line on their websites with pick-ups at a store or warehouse or through deliveries. With special reference to our principal tenants, on-line grocery orders are available and especially useful in urban areas, but have not yet become a major factor affecting grocers in our portfolio.
Competition may impede our ability to renew leases or re-let spaces as leases expire, which could harm our business and operating results.
We also face competition from similar retail centers within our respective trade areas that may affect our ability to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire. Certain national retail chain bankruptcies and resulting store closings/lease disaffirmations have generally resulted in increased available retail space which, in turn, has resulted in increased competitive pressure to renew tenant leases upon expiration and to find new tenants for vacant space at such properties. In addition, any new competitive properties that are developed within the trade areas of our existing properties may result in increased competition for customer traffic and creditworthy tenants. Increased competition for tenants may require us to make tenant and/or capital
16
Table of Contents
improvements to properties beyond those that we would otherwise have planned to make. Any unbudgeted tenant and/or capital improvements we undertake may reduce cash that would otherwise be available for distributions to shareholders. Ultimately, to the extent we are unable to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire, our business and operations could be negatively impacted.
The financial covenants in our loan agreements may restrict our operating or acquisition activities, which may harm our financial condition and operating results.
The financial covenants in our loan agreements may restrict our operating or acquisition activities, which may harm our financial condition and operating results. The mortgages on our properties contain customary negative covenants, such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to sell or otherwise transfer any ownership interest, to further mortgage the applicable property, to enter into leases, or to discontinue insurance coverage. Our ability to borrow under our secured revolving credit facilities is subject to compliance with these financial and other covenants, including restrictions on property eligible for collateral, the payment of dividends, and overall restrictions on the amount of indebtedness we can incur. If we breach covenants in our debt agreements, the lenders could declare a default and require us to repay the debt immediately and, if the debt is secured, could take possession of the property or properties securing the loan.
A substantial portion of our properties straddle the Washington DC to Boston corridor, which exposes us to greater economic risks than if our properties were owned in several geographic regions.
Our properties are located largely in the region that straddles the Washington DC to Boston corridor, which exposes us to greater economic risks than if we owned properties in more geographic regions (in particular, 31 of our consolidated properties are located in Pennsylvania). Any adverse economic or real estate developments resulting from the regulatory environment, business climate, fiscal problems or weather in such regions could have an adverse impact on our prospects. In addition, the economic condition of each of our markets may be dependent on one or more industries. An economic downturn in one of these industry sectors may result in an increase in tenant vacancies, which may harm our performance in the affected markets. High barriers to entry in the Washington DC to Boston corridor due to mature economies, road patterns, density of population, restrictions on development, and high land costs, coupled with large numbers of often overlapping government jurisdictions, may make it difficult for the Company to continue to grow in these areas.
Our success depends on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
Our success depends on the efforts of key personnel, whose continued service is not guaranteed. Key personnel could be lost because we could not offer, among other things, competitive compensation programs. The loss of services of key personnel could materially and adversely affect our operations because of diminished relationships with lenders, sources of equity capital, construction companies, and existing and prospective tenants, and the ability to conduct our business and operations without material disruption.

Table of Contents
Natural disasters and severe weather conditions could have an adverse impact on our cash flow and operating results.
Some of our properties could be subject to potential natural or other disasters. In addition, we may acquire properties that are located in areas which are subject to natural disasters. Properties could also be affected by increases in the frequency or severity of hurricanes or other storms, whether such increases are caused by global climate changes or other factors. The occurrence of natural disasters or severe weather conditions can increase investment costs to repair or replace damaged properties, increase operating costs, increase future property insurance costs, and/or negatively impact the tenant demand for lease space. If insurance is unavailable to us, or is unavailable on acceptable terms, or if our insurance is not adequate to cover business interruption or losses from such events, our earnings, liquidity and/or capital resources could be adversely affected.
Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.
Potential losses may not be covered by insurance. We carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance under a blanket policy covering all of our properties. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. We do not carry insurance for losses such as from war, nuclear accidents, and nuclear, biological and chemical occurrences from terrorists acts. Some of the insurance, such as that covering losses due to wind, floods and earthquakes, is subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses. Additionally, certain tenants have termination rights in respect of certain casualties. If we receive casualty proceeds, we may not be able to reinvest such proceeds profitably or at all, and we may be forced to recognize taxable gain on the affected property. If we experience losses that are uninsured or that exceed policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.
Future terrorist attacks could harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties.
Future terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC on September 11, 2001, and other acts of terrorism or war, could harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties. Terrorist attacks could directly impact the value of our properties through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs, and the availability of insurance for such acts may be limited or may be subject to substantial cost increases. To the extent that our tenants are impacted by future attacks, their ability to continue to honor obligations under their existing leases could be adversely affected.
If we fail to continue as a REIT, our distributions will not be deductible, and our income will be subject to taxation, thereby reducing earnings available for distribution.
If we do not continue to qualify as a REIT, our distributions will not be deductible, and our income will be subject to taxation, reducing earnings available for distribution. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. A REIT will generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements. In addition, if we did not continue to qualify as a REIT, we may also be
18
Table of Contents
subject to state and local income taxes in certain of the jurisdictions in which our properties are located.
We intend to make distributions to shareholders to comply with the requirements of the Code. However, differences in timing between the recognition of taxable income and the actual receipt of cash could require us to sell assets, borrow funds or pay a portion of the dividend in common stock to meet the 90% distribution requirement of the Code. Certain assets generate substantial differences between taxable income and income recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Such assets include, without limitation, operating real estate that was acquired through structures that may limit or completely eliminate the depreciation deduction that would otherwise be available for income tax purposes. As a result, the Code requirement to distribute a substantial portion of our otherwise net taxable income in order to maintain REIT status could cause us to (1) distribute amounts that could otherwise be used for future acquisitions, capital expenditures or repayment of debt, (2) borrow on unfavorable terms, (3) sell assets on unfavorable terms, or (4) pay a portion of our common dividend in common stock. If we fail to obtain debt or equity capital in the future, it could limit our operations and our ability to grow, which could have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock.
Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates under tax legislation which reduced the maximum tax rate for dividends payable to individuals from 35% to 15% (through 2012). For years beginning in 2013, the maximum tax rate for dividends payable to individuals is 39.6% and dividends from REITS do not qualify for the new reduced rate of 20%. In addition, certain high income individuals may be subject to an additional 3.8% tax on certain investment income, including dividends and capital gains. Although this legislation does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or the dividends paid deduction for REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause investors to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stock of corporations that pay dividends qualifying for reduced rates of tax which, in turn, could adversely affect the value of the stock of REITs.
We could incur significant costs related to government regulation and litigation over environmental matters and various other federal, state and local regulatory requirements.
We could incur significant costs related to government regulations and litigation over environmental matters. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or other contaminants at property owned, leased, managed or otherwise operated by such person, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, and for investigation and cleanup costs in connection with such contamination. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such conditions, may adversely affect the owners, lessors or operators ability to sell or rent such property or to arrange financing using such property as collateral. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of real properties, we are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs and liabilities, including governmental fines, injuries to persons, and damage to property.
We may incur significant costs complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, and similar laws, which require that all public accommodations meet federal

requirements related to access and use by disabled persons, and with various other federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements.
The Company believes environmental studies conducted at the time of acquisition with respect to all of our properties did not reveal any material environmental liabilities, and we are unaware of any subsequent environmental matters that would have created a material liability. We believe that our properties are currently in material compliance with applicable environmental, as well as non-environmental, statutory and regulatory requirements. If one or more of our properties were not in compliance with such federal, state and local laws, we could be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. If we incur substantial costs to comply with such requirements, our business and operations could be adversely affected. If we fail to comply with such requirements, we might incur governmental fines or private damage awards. We cannot presently determine whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will adversely impact our business and operations.
Our charter and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction and depress our stock price.
Our charter and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction and depress the price of our common stock. The charter, subject to certain exceptions, authorizes directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable relating to qualification as a REIT, and to limit any person to beneficial ownership of no more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt a proposed transferee from the ownership limit, but may not grant an exemption from the ownership limit to any proposed transferee whose direct or indirect ownership could jeopardize our status as a REIT. These restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if our Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as, or to be, a REIT. This ownership limit may delay or impede a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of shareholders. Our Board of Directors has waived the ownership limit to permit each of Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (Inland), RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (RioCan), and Cohen and Steers Capital Management, Inc. to acquire up to 14%, 16% and 15%, respectively, of our stock. Upon the sale by RioCan in February 2013 of all of its holdings, our waiver terminated. In addition, Inland has agreed to various voting restrictions and standstill provisions.
We may authorize and issue stock and OP Units without shareholder approval. Our charter authorizes the Board of Directors to issue additional shares of common or preferred stock, to issue additional OP Units, to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common or preferred stock, and to set the preferences, rights and other terms of such classified or unclassified shares. In connection with obtaining shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock, we have agreed not to use our preferred stock for anti-takeover purposes or in connection with a shareholder rights plan unless we obtain shareholder approval. Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the MGCL) may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of shares of our common stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such shares, including:

1. | business combination provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an interested stockholder (defined generally as any person or an affiliate thereof who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our shares) for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes special appraisal rights and special stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and |
2. | control share provisions that provide that our control shares (defined as shares that, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a control share acquisition (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of control shares) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our shareholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares. |
We have opted out of these provisions of the MGCL. However, the Board of Directors may, by resolution, elect to opt in to the business combination provisions of the MGCL, and we may, by amendment to our bylaws, opt in to the control share provisions of the MGCL.

Dividend Information
A corporation electing REIT status is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Code, to continue qualification as a REIT. In keeping with its stated goal of reducing overall leverage, and in order to maximize financial flexibility, the Company paid dividends totaling $0.20 per share during 2012, reduced from $0.36 per share during 2011. While the Company intends to continue paying regular quarterly dividends, future dividend declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Executive Summary
The Company is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust which focuses primarily on ownership and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers straddling the Washington DC to Boston corridor. At December 31, 2012, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 67 operating properties (excluding properties held for sale/conveyance) totaling approximately 9.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA). The portfolio was 91.9% occupied at December 31, 2012.
In keeping with its stated goal of reducing overall leverage to an appropriate level by selling non-core assets, the Company determined in 2011 (1) to completely exit the Ohio market, principally the Discount Drug Mart portfolio of drugstore/convenience centers, and concentrate on the region that straddles the Washington DC to Boston corridor, (2) to concentrate on grocery-anchored strip centers, by disposing of its mall and single-tenant/triple-net-lease properties, (3) to focus on improving operations and performance at the Companys remaining properties, and (4) to reduce development activities, by disposing of certain development projects, land acquired for development, and other non-core assets.
On October 10, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with RioCan to exit the 20% Cedar / 80% RioCan joint venture that owned 22 retail properties. On October 12, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with HII relating to the application of the buy/sell provisions of the joint venture agreements for each of the nine properties owned by the joint venture. See Significant Transactions below for additional information relating to these transactions.
The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation, has established an umbrella partnership structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to Cedar Realty Trust Partnership L.P. (the Operating Partnership), organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2012, the Company owned 99.6% of the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. The approximately 281,000 limited Operating Partnership Units (OP Units) are economically equivalent to the Companys common stock and are convertible into the Companys common stock at the option of the holders on a one-to-one basis.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases. The Companys operating results therefore depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments required by the terms of their leases. The Company focuses its investment activities on grocery-anchored community shopping centers. The Company believes that, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, its type of necessities-based properties should provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.

Significant Transactions
As discussed above, the Company developed a disposition plan with the stated goal of reducing overall leverage to an appropriate level by selling non-core assets. The carrying values of the assets and liabilities of these properties, principally the net book values of the real estate and the related mortgage loans payable to be assumed by the buyers (or conveyed to the mortgagee), have been reclassified as held for sale/conveyance on the Companys consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. In addition, the properties results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Table of Contents
On October 10, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (RioCan) to exit the 20% Cedar / 80% RioCan joint venture that owns 22 retail properties. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company exchanged its 20% interest in the joint venture for (1) a 100% ownership interest in Franklin Village Plaza, located in Franklin, Massachusetts, at an agreed-upon value of approximately $75.1 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of approximately $43.1 million, and (2) approximately $41.6 million in cash, which was initially used to reduce the outstanding balance under the Companys Credit Facility. The Company continued to manage the properties acquired by RioCan subject to a management agreement which was terminated effective January 31, 2013.
On October 12, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with Homburg Invest Inc. (HII) relating to the application of the buy/sell provisions of the joint venture agreements for each of the nine properties owned by the joint venture. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company acquired HIIs 80% ownership in Meadows Marketplace, located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Fieldstone Marketplace, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts, for approximately $27.3 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of $21.8 million, giving the Company a 100% ownership interest in these two properties. In addition, the Company sold to HII its 20% ownership interest in the remaining seven joint venture properties for approximately $23.6 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of $14.5 million. The Companys property management agreements for the sold properties terminated upon the closing of the sale.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, real estate investments and purchase accounting allocations related thereto, asset impairment, and derivatives used to hedge interest-rate risks. Managements estimates are based both on information that is currently available and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those estimates could be different under varying assumptions or conditions.
The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies, the application of which requires significant judgments and estimates:
Revenue Recognition
Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over the respective terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over base rents under applicable lease provisions is included in straight-line rents receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred; such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, certain operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount as additional rent. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified targets are met.
The Company must make estimates as to the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. Management analyzes accounts receivable by considering tenant creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and changes in tenants payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on net income, because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income, whereas a lower bad debt allowance would result in higher net income.
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures for betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of real estate assets are capitalized.
Real estate investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the assets estimated useful life. The Company is required to make subjective estimates as to the useful lives of its real estate assets for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis. These assessments have a
32
Table of Contents
direct impact on net income. A shorter estimate of the useful life of an asset would have the effect of increasing depreciation expense and lowering net income, whereas a longer estimate of the useful life of an asset would have the effect of reducing depreciation expense and increasing net income.
A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of a property, such as pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs, and other costs incurred during the period of development. After a determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. The Company ceases capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied, or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portions under construction. The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but not later than one year from cessation of major development activity. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The effect of a longer capitalization period would be to increase capitalized costs and would result in higher net income, whereas the effect of a shorter capitalization period would be to reduce capitalized costs and would result in lower net income.
The Company allocates the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on managements determination of the relative fair values of such assets. In valuing an acquired propertys intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.
The values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be received and managements estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include a consideration of the non-cancellable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal period(s). The fair values associated with below-market rental renewal options are determined based on the Companys experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of above-market leases are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of below-market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease terms are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below-market renewal options that are likely of exercise are amortized to rental income over the respective renewal periods. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
33
Table of Contents
Management is required to make subjective assessments in connection with its valuation of real estate acquisitions. These assessments have a direct impact on net income, because (1) above-market and below-market lease intangibles are amortized to rental income, and (2) the value of other intangibles is amortized to expense. Accordingly, higher allocations to below-market lease liability and other intangibles would result in higher rental income and amortization expense, whereas lower allocations to below-market lease liability and other intangibles would result in lower rental income and amortization expense.
Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investments use and eventual disposition. These estimates of cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. A real estate investment held for sale is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value, less the cost of a potential sale. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the period the property is held for sale. Management is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate properties. These assessments have a direct impact on net income, because an impairment loss is recognized in the period that the assessment is made.

Properties held in both periods. The Company held 65 properties (excluding properties held for sale/conveyance) throughout 2012 and 2011.
Revenues were higher primarily as a result of increases in (1) lease termination income ($3.0 million), (2) rental revenues and expense recoveries at properties acquired in the fourth quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2011 ($1.8 million), and (3) rental revenues and expense recoveries at ground-up development properties ($1.7 million), offset by a decrease in expense recoveries at the Companys other operating properties ($1.0 million), due to lower property operating expenses.
Property operating expenses were lower primarily as a result of decreases in (1) payroll and related benefits and costs ($1.9 million), (2) snow removal costs ($1.8 million), and (3) administrative costs ($0.6 million), offset by an increase in real estate taxes ($0.9 million).
General and administrative expenses were higher primarily as a result of (1) increases in payroll and related benefits and costs ($2.5 million), and (2) costs related to share-based compensation ($1.0 million).

Table of Contents
Management transition charges and employee termination costs in 2012 reflect separation arrangements and terminations of employment agreements relating primarily to employee headcount reductions instituted in connection with recent property dispositions and the exit from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture. Such costs consist of (1) severance and benefits ($0.7 million), (2) accelerated vesting of share-based compensation grants ($0.4 million), and (3) other costs ($0.1 million). Management transition charges and employee termination costs in 2011 relate to the retirement of the Companys then Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and the end of the employment of the Companys then Chief Financial Officer, and include (1) an aggregate of approximately $3.7 million in cash severance payments (including the cost of related payroll taxes and benefits), (2) the write off of all amounts related to the vesting of restricted share-based compensation grants (an aggregate of approximately $2.0 million), and (3) approximately $1.2 million of other non-recurring costs, primarily professional fees and expenses related to the hiring of a new President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Impairment charges in 2012 relate to (1) the write-off of the Ohio property loan receivable ($4.4 million), and (2) certain land parcels treated as held for sale/conveyance ($1.3 million). Impairment charges in 2011 relate to certain land parcels treated as held for sale/conveyance.
Acquisition transaction costs and terminated projects in 2012 include costs incurred related to property acquisitions. Acquisition transaction costs and terminated projects in 2011 include (1) costs incurred related to a property acquisition, and (2) the termination of several redevelopment projects that the Company determined would not go forward.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were higher primarily as a result of (1) the acquisition of a property in October 2012 ($0.7 million), (2) improvements being placed in service at ground-up development and redevelopment properties ($0.7 million), and (3) the write-off of tenant improvements for a tenant who vacated during 2012 ($0.3 million), offset by the completion of scheduled depreciation and amortization. ($0.2 million)
Interest expense decreased primarily as a result of (1) lower amortization of deferred financing costs related to the new credit facility entered into during the first quarter of 2012 ($2.2 million), (2) a decrease in the overall outstanding principal balance of debt ($1.0 million), and (3) a decrease in the overall weighted average interest rate ($0.5 million), offset by a decrease in capitalized interest ($1.3 million).
Accelerated write-off of deferred financing costs in 2012 relates to the write-off of unamortized fees associated with the Companys terminated stabilized property and development property credit facilities.
Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was lower in 2012 as a result of lost revenues from the tenant at the then redevelopment joint venture in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania vacating the premises in April 2011 ($0.3 million), offset by an increase in operating results from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture through the date the Company concluded exit agreements, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report ($0.1 million).
Gain (loss) on exit from unconsolidated joint ventures in 2012 relates to the exit from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report. Gain (loss) on exit from unconsolidated joint ventures in 2011 represents the write-off of an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture relating to the Companys decision not to go forward with the

development of two adjacent properties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The impairment loss for the wholly-owned property is included in loss from discontinued operations.
Gain on sales in 2012 and 2011 relate principally to sales of land parcels treated as held for sale/conveyance as part of the Companys 2011 business plan, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report.
Discontinued operations for 2012 and 2011 include the results of operations, net impairment charges and gain on sales for certain properties sold or treated as held for sale/conveyance, as part of the Companys 2011 business plan, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report.

Properties held in both periods. The Company held 65 properties (excluding properties held for sale/conveyance) throughout 2011 and 2010.
Revenues were higher primarily as a result of increases in (1) revenues from a property acquired in 2011 ($5.9 million), (2) base rent and tenant recoveries at ground-up development properties ($1.3 million), (3) base rent and tenant recoveries at other operating properties ($1.2 million), and (4) base rent and tenant recoveries at redevelopment properties ($1.0 million), off-

set by decreases in (5) revenues from properties transferred to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture in 2010 ($3.3 million), (6) amortization of intangible lease liabilities ($1.2 million), (7) fees earned from unconsolidated joint ventures ($0.8 million), and (8) straight-line rents ($0.4 million).
Property operating expenses were higher primarily as a result of increases in (1) expenses at a property acquired in 2011 ($1.9 million), (2) payroll and related expenses ($0.7 million), (3) snow removal costs ($0.3 million), (4) real estate taxes ($0.2 million), and (5) other operating expenses ($0.2 million), off-set by decreases in (6) expenses at properties transferred to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture in 2010 ($0.8 million), and (7) the provision for doubtful accounts ($0.2 million).
General and administrative expenses were higher primarily as a result of increases in (1) payroll and payroll related expenses ($0.3 million), (2) a legal settlement received in the Companys favor in 2010 in excess of a legal settlement received in the Companys favor in 2011 ($0.5 million), (3) accounting and other professional fees ($0.2 million), (4) information technology costs ($0.2 million), (5) rent expense ($0.1 million), and (6) other costs ($0.2 million).
Management transition charges and employee termination costs in 2011 relate to the retirement of the Companys then Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and the end of the employment of the Companys then Chief Financial Officer, and include (1) an aggregate of approximately $3.7 million in cash severance payments (including the cost of related payroll taxes and benefits), (2) the write off of all amounts related to the vesting of share-based compensation grants (an aggregate of approximately $2.0 million), and (3) approximately $1.2 million of other non-recurring costs, primarily professional fees and expenses related to the hiring of a new President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Impairment charges for 2011 relate principally to certain land parcels treated as held for sale, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report. Impairment charges for 2010 relate principally to certain of the properties initially transferred to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture.
Acquisition transaction costs and terminated projects were lower in 2011 primarily due to fees to the Companys advisor accrued in 2010 related to Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily as a result of the change in use of a building, at a redevelopment project, which was scheduled to be demolished in 2012. Other factors contributing to the increase included (1) additional depreciation expense at ground-up and redevelopment properties as improvements have been placed into service, and (2) increases related to capital improvements at other operating properties.
Interest expense decreased primarily as a result of (1) lower amortization of deferred financing costs, principally related to the accelerated write-off of deferred financing costs in September 2010 ($1.4 million), (2) lower outstanding borrowings under the Companys credit facilities ($1.1 million), and (3) higher capitalized interest ($0.3 million), off-set by (4) an increase in mortgage interest expense as a result of property acquisitions and property-specific financings ($1.5 million).
Accelerated write-off of deferred financing costs in 2010 resulted from the Company, at its option, reducing the commitments under the stabilized property credit facility from $285.0 million to $185.0 million.

Table of Contents
Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was higher in 2011 primarily as a result of an increase in operating results from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, due principally to lower acquisition transaction costs in 2011 compared to those incurred in 2010, offset by nominal operating results in 2011 as compared with 2010 from the joint venture redevelopment property in Philadelphia (as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report).
Loss on exit from unconsolidated joint venture in 2011 represents the write-off of an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture relating to the Companys decision not to go forward with the development of two adjacent properties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The impairment loss for the wholly-owned property is included in loss from discontinued operations.
Discontinued operations for 2011 and 2010 include the results of operations, impairment charges and gain on sales for certain properties sold or treated as held for sale/conveyance, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report.
Same-Property Net Operating Income
Same-property net operating income (same-property NOI) is a widely-used non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors as it provides an indication of the recurring cash generated by the Companys properties by excluding certain non-cash revenues and expenses, as well as other infrequent items such as lease termination income which tends to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Properties are included in same-property NOI if they are owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared, except for properties undergoing significant redevelopment and expansion until such properties have stabilized, and properties classified as held for sale/conveyance. Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from same-property NOI.
Same-property NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Further, same-property NOI is a measure for which there is no standard industry definition and, as such, it is not consistently defined or reported on among the Companys peers, and thus may not provide an adequate basis for comparison between REITs. The following table reconciles same-property NOI to the Companys consolidated operating income.

Same-property NOI for 2012 increased approximately 1.1% over 2011 as a result, principally, of (1) a 40 bps increase in occupancy, and (2) a modest increase in average base rent at the properties. The comparative results were negatively impacted by replacing the dark anchor at Oakland Commons, located in Bristol, Connecticut. By excluding the down time impact prior to Wal-Mart taking possession of the space, same-property NOI would have increased to 1.8%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company funds operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements, including debt service, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, preferred and common dividend distributions and distributions to minority interest partners, if made, primarily from its operations. The Company may also use its revolving credit facility for these purposes. The Company expects to fund long-term liquidity requirements for property acquisitions, redevelopment costs, remaining development costs, capital improvements, joint venture contributions, and maturing debt initially with its credit facility, and ultimately through a combination of issuing and/or assuming additional mortgage debt, the sale of equity securities, the issuance of additional OP Units, and the sale of properties. Although the Company believes it has access to secured financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the availability of mortgage financing on completed development projects, additional construction financing, or proceeds from the refinancing of existing debt.

(a) | At December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $31.4 million of mortgage loans payable subject to interest rate swaps which converted LIBOR-based variable rates to fixed annual rates ranging from 5.2% to 6.5% per annum. |
As noted above, in January 2012, the Company entered into a new $300 million Credit Facility, comprised of a four-year $75 million term loan and a three-year $225 million revolving

credit facility, subject to collateral in place. Subject to customary conditions, the term loan and the revolving credit facility may both be extended for one additional year at the Companys option. Under an accordion feature, the Credit Facility can be increased to $500 million, subject to customary conditions, collateral in place and lending commitments from participating banks. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, minimum interest coverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the Credit Facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. The Credit Facility is available to fund acquisitions, redevelopment and remaining development activities, capital expenditures, mortgage repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are priced at LIBOR plus 250 bps (a weighted-average of 2.8% per annum at December 31, 2012) and can range from LIBOR plus 200 to 300 bps based on the Companys leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has $81.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit portion of the Credit Facility, and had $81.8 million available for additional borrowings as of that date.
Property-specific mortgage loans payable at December 31, 2012 consisted of fixed-rate notes totaling $544.8 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.6%, and a LIBOR-based variable-rate note totaling $60.4 million, with an effective interest rate of 3.0% per annum at that date. For 2013, the Company has approximately $4.4 million of scheduled debt principal amortization payments and $114.6 million of scheduled balloon payments.
Total mortgage loans payable and secured credit facilities have an overall weighted average interest rate of 4.8% and mature at various dates through 2029. The terms of several of the Companys mortgage loans payable require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such restricted cash is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established, and is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.
In February 2013, the Company concluded a public offering of 2.3 million shares of its Series B Preferred Stock (including 0.3 million shares relating to the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option) and realized net proceeds, after offering expenses, of approximately $54.7 million. At the same time, the Company announced that it would redeem all the remaining 1.4 million shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, requiring a total cash outlay of approximately $35.4 million.
In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Company paid dividends totaling $0.20 per share during 2012, reduced from $0.36 per share during 2011. While the Company intends to continue paying regular quarterly dividends, future dividend declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities, before net changes in operating assets and liabilities was $53.6 million, $48.0 million and $49.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amounts for 2012 include $3.0 million of lease termination income and $0.6 million for management transition charges and employee termination costs. The amounts for 2011 include $4.5 million for management transition charges and employee termination costs. The net changes in operating assets and liabilities (($3.1) million in 2012, ($8.7) million in 2011, and ($8.1) million in 2010) were primarily the result of collections of receivables and the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Investing Activities
During 2012, the Company had net proceeds from the exit from the Cedar/RioCan unconsolidated joint venture ($41.6 million), proceeds from sales of properties treated as discontinued operations ($34.9 million), distributions of capital from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture ($2.8 million), and a decrease in constructions escrows and other ($2.4 million), offset by expenditures for property improvements ($31.5 million). During 2011, the Company acquired a grocery-anchored shopping center and incurred expenditures for property improvements (an

Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations FFO is a widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. In addition, FFO is useful to investors as it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income, when trying to understand a REITs operating performance. The Company considers FFO an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs.

Table of Contents
The Company computes FFO in accordance with the White Paper published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO as net income applicable to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment charges, gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures (which are computed to reflect FFO on the same basis). FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income applicable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating activities. FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of REITs, as the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one company to another. The following table sets forth the Companys calculations of FFO for 2012, 2011 and 2010:

Inflation
Inflation has been relatively low in recent years and has not had a significant detrimental impact on the Companys results of operations. Should inflation rates increase in the future, substantially all of the Companys tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for real estate taxes and many of the operating expenses it incurs. Significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Companys business.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
One of the principal market risks facing the Company is interest rate risk on its credit facilities. The Company may, when advantageous, hedge its interest rate risk by using derivative financial instruments. The Company is not subject to foreign currency risk.

Table of Contents
The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily through (1) the variable-rate credit facilities used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and ground-up development/redevelopment activities, and expand its real estate investment portfolio, (2) property-specific variable-rate construction financing, and (3) other property-specific variable-rate mortgages. The Companys objectives with respect to interest rate risk are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows, and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the Company may borrow at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, etc., in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related variable-rate financial instrument. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. At December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $31.4 million of mortgage loans payable subject to interest rate swaps which converted LIBOR-based variable rates to fixed annual rates ranging from 5.2% to 6.5% per annum. At that date, the Company had accrued liabilities of $1.6 million (included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet) relating to the fair value of interest rate swaps applicable to these mortgage loans payable.
At December 31, 2012, long-term debt consisted of fixed-rate mortgage loans payable and variable-rate debt (including the Companys variable-rate Credit Facility). The average interest rate on the $544.8 million of fixed-rate indebtedness outstanding was 5.6%, with maturities at various dates through 2029. The average interest rate on the $216.4 million of variable-rate debt (including $156.0 million in advances under the Companys Credit Facility) was 2.9%. The $81.0 million revolving credit segment of the new facility matures in January 2015, and the $75.0 million term loan segment matures in January 2016, each subject to a one-year extension option. With respect to the $216.4 million of variable-rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2012, if interest rates either increase or decrease by 1%, the Companys interest cost would increase or decrease respectively by approximately $2.2 million per annum.

Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012
Note 1. Business and Organization
Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (the Company) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that focuses primarily on ownership and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers straddling the Washington, DC to Boston corridor. At December 31, 2012, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 67 operating properties (excluding properties held for sale/conveyance).
During 2011, the Company determined (1) to completely exit the Ohio market, principally the Discount Drug Mart portfolio of drugstore/convenience centers, and concentrate on the region that straddles the Washington DC to Boston corridor, (2) to concentrate on grocery-anchored strip centers, by disposing of its mall and single-tenant/triple-net-lease properties, (3) to focus on improving operations and performance at the Companys remaining properties, and (4) to reduce development activities, by disposing of certain development projects, land acquired for development, and other non-core assets.
On October 10, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (RioCan) to exit the 20% Cedar / 80% RioCan joint venture that owned 22 retail properties. See Note 5 Investment in Cedar/RioCan Joint Venture for additional information relating to this transaction. On October 12, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with Homburg Invest Inc. (HII) relating to the application of the buy/sell provisions of the joint venture agreements for each of the nine properties owned by the joint venture. See Note 4 Properties Held For Sale and Related Transactions for additional information relating to this transaction.
Cedar Realty Trust Partnership, L.P. (the Operating Partnership) is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. At December 31, 2012, the Company owned a 99.6% economic interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership. The limited partners interest in the Operating Partnership (0.4% at December 31, 2012) is represented by Operating Partnership Units (OP Units). The carrying amount of such interest is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to an amount equal to the limited partners ownership percentage of the Operating Partnerships net equity. The approximately 281,000 OP Units outstanding at December 31, 2012 are economically equivalent to the Companys common stock. The holders of OP Units have the right to exchange their OP Units for the same number of shares of the Companys common stock or, at the Companys option, for cash.
As used herein, the Company refers to Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or, where the context so requires, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. only.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and certain joint venture partnerships in which it participates. The Company consolidates all variable interest entities (VIEs) for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (1) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk (a) lack the power through voting or similar rights to make decisions about the entitys activities that significantly impact the entitys performance, (b) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) have no right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entitys activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values, performance of real estate held by these VIEs, and general market conditions.
The Companys has three 60%-owned joint ventures originally formed to develop the projects known as Upland Square, Heritage Crossings and Crossroads II. These joint ventures are consolidated as they are deemed to be VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary. In each case, (1) the Company guarantees all related debt, (2) the Companys partners are not required to fund additional capital requirements, (3) the Company has an economic interest greater than its voting proportion, and (4) the Company participates in the management activities that significantly impact the performance of these joint ventures. As a result of these and other factors, the Company includes 100% of these joint ventures results of operations in net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. At December 31, 2012, these VIEs owned real estate with a carrying value of $141.3 million, one of the VIEs had a property-specific mortgage loan payable aggregating $60.4 million, and the real estate owned by another VIE partially collateralized the Credit Facility to the extent of $18.9 million. Heritage Crossings is treated as held for sale/conveyance at December 31, 2012 (see Note 4 Properties Held For Sale and Related Transactions).
With respect to its two other consolidated joint venture properties, the Company is the general partner and has a partnership interest of 40% in each. As (1) such entities are not VIEs, and (2) the Company is the sole general partner and exercises substantial operating control over these entities, the Company has determined that such entities should be consolidated for financial

statement purposes. Current accounting guidance provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls, and should consolidate, a limited partnership or similar entity in which it owns a minority interest.
With respect to its 20% interest in the Cedar/RioCan unconsolidated joint venture (see Note 1 Business and Organization), formed in October 2009 for the acquisition of seven shopping center properties owned by the Company, all the properties had been transferred to the joint venture by May 2010. Although the Company provided management and other services, RioCan had significant management participation rights. The Company had determined that this joint venture was not a VIE and, accordingly, the Company accounted for its investment in this joint venture under the equity method. The accounting treatment presentation on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for 2010 reflects the results of the properties operations through the respective dates of transfer in current operations and, prospectively following their transfer to the joint venture, as equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. Accordingly, revenues for 2010 include $3.3 million applicable to the periods prior to the dates of transfer.
With respect to its interest in the Homburg joint venture properties (See Note 4 Properties Held For Sale and Related Transactions), the Company was the general partner and had partnership interests of 20% in each of the ventures nine properties. As (1) such entities are not VIEs, and (2) the Company was the sole general partner and exercised substantial operating control over these entities, the Company had determined that such entities should be consolidated for financial statement purposes.
Until June 2011, the Company had an approximate 85% limited partners interest in an unconsolidated joint venture (increased in the second quarter of 2011 from approximately 76% for a payment of $745,000) which owned a single-tenant property in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Company had determined that this joint venture was not a VIE. As the Company had no control over the entity, did not provide any management or other services to the entity, and had no substantial participating or kick out rights, the Company had accounted for its investment in this joint venture under the equity method. In exchange for a payment by the Company of $838,000 to its joint venture partners, the Company (1) obtained appropriate releases, (2) assigned its limited partnership interest to other partners of the joint venture, and (3) wrote off its investment in the joint venture (as more fully discussed in Note 4 Properties Held For Sale and Related Transactions).
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The consolidated financial statements reflect certain reclassifications of prior period amounts to conform to the 2012 presentation, principally to reflect the sale and/or treatment as held for sale/conveyance of certain operating properties and the treatment thereof as discontinued operations. The reclassifications had no impact on previously-reported net income attributable to common shareholders or earnings per share.
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets of between 3 and 40 years. Depreciation expense amounted to $41.2 million, $39.9 million and $32.1 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Expenditures for betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not substantially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.
Real estate investments include costs of ground-up development and redevelopment activities, and construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the assets estimated useful life. A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of a property, such as pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs, and other costs incurred during the period of development. After a determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. The Company ceases capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied, or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portions under development. The Company considers a construction project to be substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but not later than one year from cessation of major construction activity.
The Company allocates the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on managements determination of the relative fair values of these assets. In valuing an acquired propertys intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.

The values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be received and managements estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include a consideration of the non-cancellable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal periods. The fair values associated with below-market rental renewal options are determined based on the Companys experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of above-market leases are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of below-market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease terms are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below-market renewal options that are likely of exercise are amortized to rental income over the respective renewal periods. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability of real estate investments held for use is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investments use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, capital expenditures, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. Real estate investments held for sale/conveyance are carried at the lower of their respective carrying amounts or estimated fair values, less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the periods held for sale/conveyance.
Sales of real estate are recognized only when sufficient down payments have been obtained, possession and other attributes of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the Company has no significant continuing involvement. The Company believes these criteria were met for all real estate sold during 2012, 2011 and 2010.
In 2012, 2011, and 2010, the Company included in acquisition transaction costs and terminated projects (1) $0.1 million, $0.9 million and $0, respectively, related to properties the Company acquired, and (2) costs incurred for potential development projects of $0, $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, that the Company determined would not go forward.

During 2010, the Company incurred fees to its investment advisor of $2.7 million related to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, which is included in acquisition transaction costs and terminated projects.
Cash and Cash Equivalents / Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments with original maturities of less than ninety days, and include cash at consolidated joint ventures of $1.6 million and $7.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The terms of several of the Companys mortgage loans payable require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such restricted cash is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established.
Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance for fair value measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:
| Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible while also considering counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.
Revenue Recognition and Receivables
Management has determined that all of the Companys leases with its various tenants are operating leases. Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over the respective non-cancelable terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual base rents is included in receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real
60

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

estate taxes incurred, generally attributable to their respective allocable portions of gross leasable area. Such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, a limited number of operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay, as additional rent, a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified sales targets are met. Revenues also include items such as lease termination fees, which tend to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Termination fees are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration. The Company recognizes lease termination income when the following conditions are met: (1) the lease termination agreement has been executed, (2) the lease termination fee is determinable, (3) all the Companys landlord services pursuant to the terminated lease have been rendered, and (4) collectability of the lease termination fee is assured.
The Company must make estimates as to the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rent, straight-line rent, percentage rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. When management analyzes accounts receivable and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, it considers such things as historical bad debts, tenant creditworthiness, current economic trends, current developments relevant to a tenants business specifically and to its business category generally, and changes in tenants payment patterns. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.4 million and $5.8 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts (included in operating, maintenance and management expenses) was $1.9 million, $1.9 million and $2.1 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). A REIT will generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of such REIT taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements. As of December 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all REIT requirements.
The Company follows a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain federal, state and local tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions which would require an accrual.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company occasionally utilizes derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment, and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments must be effective in reducing the Companys interest rate risk exposure in order to qualify for hedge accounting. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument are marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income for each period until the derivative financial instrument matures or is settled. Any derivative financial instrument used for risk management that does not meet the hedging criteria is marked-to-market with the changes in value included in net income. The Company has not entered into, and does not plan to enter into, derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Noncontrolling InterestLimited Partners Mezzanine OP Units
The Company follows the accounting guidance related to noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements, which clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (minority interests or certain limited partners interest, in the case of the Company), subject to the classification and measurement of redeemable securities, is an ownership interest in a consolidated entity which should be reported as equity in the parent companys consolidated financial statements. The guidance requires a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of equity attributable to noncontrolling interests and disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of those amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests. The Company classifies the balances related to minority interests in consolidated joint ventures and limited partners interest in the Operating Partnership into the consolidated equity accounts, as appropriate. Certain noncontrolling interests of the Company are classified in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet (the mezzanine OP Units) as such OP Units do not meet the requirements for equity classification (certain of the holders of such OP Units have registration rights that provide such holders with the right to demand registration under the federal securities laws of the common stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of such OP Units). The Company adjusts the carrying value of the mezzanine OP Units each period to equal the greater of its historical carrying value or its redemption value. Through December 31, 2012, there have been no cumulative net adjustments recorded to the carrying amounts of the mezzanine OP Units.
Share-Based Compensation
In June 2012, the Companys shareholders approved the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2012 Plan), which was designed to replace the existing 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan). In connection with the approval of the 2012 Plan, the Company agreed not to grant any additional new awards under the 2004 Plan. The 2012 Plan establishes the procedures for the

granting of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance units, performance shares and specifically provides for the awarding of the remaining 2.0 million shares to the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer, as provided in his employment agreement. The maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2012 Plan is 4.5 million, and the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant in any calendar year may not exceed 500,000. All grants issued pursuant to the 2012 Plan and 2004 Plan are restricted stock grants which generally vest (1) at the end of designated time periods for time-based grants, or (2) upon the completion of a designated period of performance for performance-based grants and satisfaction of performance criteria. Timebased grants are valued according to the market price for the Companys common stock at the date of grant. For performance-based grants, the Company generally engages an independent appraisal company to determine the value of the shares at the date of grant, taking into account the underlying contingency risks associated with the performance criteria. The value of all grants is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting periods (irrespective of achievement of the performance-based grants) adjusted, as applicable, for forfeitures. For restricted share grants subject to graded vesting, the amounts expensed are at least equal to the measured expense of each vested tranche. Based on the current terms of the 2012 Plan and 2004 Plan, those grants of restricted shares that are transferred to Rabbi Trusts are classified as treasury stock on the Companys consolidated balance sheet.

As more fully discussed in Note 5 Investment in Cedar/RioCan Joint Venture, on October 10, 2012, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Franklin Village Plaza, located in Franklin, Massachusetts. As more fully discussed in Note 4 Properties Held For Sale and Related Transactions, on October 12, 2012, the Company acquired the non-controlling 80% ownership interests in Meadows Marketplace, located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Fieldstone Marketplace, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
On January 14, 2011, the Company acquired Colonial Commons, a shopping center located in Lower Paxton Township, Pennsylvania. The purchase price for the property was approximately $49.1 million (in addition, the Company incurred transactions costs of $0.6 million). At closing, the Company entered into a first mortgage in the amount of $28.1 million, which bears interest at 5.6% per annum and matures in February 2021.
At December 31, 2012, substantially all of the Companys real estate was pledged as collateral for either mortgage loans payable or the Companys Credit Facility.

Note 4 Properties Held For Sale and Related Transactions
In connection with managements review of the Companys real estate investments, the Company determined in 2011 (1) to completely exit the Ohio market, principally the Discount Drug Mart portfolio of drugstore/convenience centers, and concentrate on the region that straddles the Washington DC to Boston corridor, (2) to concentrate on grocery-anchored strip centers, by disposing of its mall and single-tenant/triple-net-lease properties, (3) to focus on improving operations and performance at the Companys remaining properties, and (4) to reduce development activities, by disposing of certain development projects, land acquired for development, and other non-core assets.
The carrying values of the assets and liabilities of these properties, principally the net book values of the real estate and the related mortgage loans payable to be assumed by the buyers (or conveyed to the mortgagees), have been reclassified as held for sale/conveyance on the Companys consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. In addition, the properties results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all years presented. The Company anticipates that sales of all such properties remaining classified as held for sale will be concluded during 2013.

In April 2011, the Company made a two-year $4.1 million loan to the developers of a site located in Reynoldsburg, Ohio (the developers are members of the group from which the Company acquired substantially all of its drug store/convenience centers). The loan bears interest at 6.25% per annum and is collateralized by a first mortgage on the development parcel and personal guarantees from certain of the borrowers. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the borrowers failed to make a scheduled payment. The Company has concluded that the loan is unlikely to be paid given (1) the current inability of the developers to find an anchor tenant for the development site, (2) certain use restrictions on the land, and (3) numerous legal judgments against individuals that provided the personal guarantees. Further, the Company does not desire to own the land as it has ceased ground-up development activities. Finally, it is unlikely the Company would foreclose and subsequently sell the property as the tax arrearages associated with the property, legal fees, transfer taxes, brokerage and other costs to sell the land along with the uncertain timing of such a sale makes this not a cost beneficial alternative. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company ceased recording any related interest income and wrote off the loan and accrued interest, resulting in an impairment charge of $4.4 million.
Impairment charges, net, included in discontinued operations for 2012 included (1) impairment reversals of $2.4 million related to the Homburg joint venture properties, off-set by (2) net impairment charges of $2.4 million related to other properties. Impairment charges included in discontinued operations for 2011 included $11.1 million related to the Discount Drug Mart portfolio, $33.1 million related to malls, $5.3 million related to single-tenant/triple-net-lease properties, $36.6 million related to development projects and other non-core properties, and $2.4 million related to the Homburg joint venture properties.

Impairment charges were based on a comparison of the carrying values of the properties with either (1) actual sales prices less costs to sell for properties sold, or contract amounts for properties in the process of being sold, (2) estimated sales prices based on discounted cash flow analyses, if no contract amounts were as yet being negotiated, as discussed in more detail in Note 6 Fair Value Measurements, (3) an as is appraisal with respect to the Philadelphia Redevelopment Property (see below), or (4) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less cost to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the selected market areas. Prior to the Companys plan to dispose of properties reclassified to held for sale/conveyance, the Company performed recoverability analyses based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows that were expected to result from the real estate investments use and eventual disposal. The projected undiscounted cash flows of each property reflected that the carrying value of each real estate investment would be recovered. However, as a result of the properties meeting the held for sale criteria, such properties were written down to the lower of their carrying value and estimated fair values less costs to sell.

On October 12, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with Homburg Invest Inc. (HII) relating to the application of the buy/sell provisions of the joint venture
69
Table of Contents
Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012
agreements for each of the nine properties owned by the joint venture. In February 2011, HII had exercised its buy/sell option pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreements for each of the nine properties owned by the venture. Richard Homburg, a director of the Company until October 2011, was the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HII at the time the joint venture was formed and the buy/sell option was exercised. The Company made elections to purchase HIIs 80% interest in two of the nine properties, Meadows Marketplace, located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Fieldstone Marketplace, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The Company also determined not to meet HIIs buy/sell offers for each of the remaining seven properties, which were thereupon treated as held for sale/conveyance. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company acquired HIIs 80% ownership in Meadows Marketplace, located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Fieldstone Marketplace, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts, for approximately $27.3 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of $21.8 million, giving the Company a 100% ownership interest in these two properties. As the two properties were previously controlled and consolidated by the Company, the acquisitions of the 80% noncontrolling interests were recorded as a capital transaction. As such, the excess ($7.6 million) of the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interests over amounts paid by the Company was recognized as an increase in the Companys shareholders equity and a corresponding decrease in noncontrolling interests. In addition, the Company sold to HII its 20% ownership interest in the remaining seven joint venture properties for approximately $23.6 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of $14.5 million. In connection with the transactions, the Company has recorded a gain of $3.9 million relating to the sale of the seven properties. The Companys property management agreements for the sold properties terminated upon the closing of the sale.
In March 2012, the Company determined to sell Kingston Plaza, located in Kingston, New York, and subsequently sold the property in April 2012. In December 2012, the Company determined to sell East Chestnut, located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and subsequently sold the property in January 2013 for a sales price of approximately $3.1 million, which approximated the propertys carrying value. As such, the properties have been treated as discontinued operations for all periods presented. At December 31, 2012, the Company had 10 shopping-center properties that were held for sale/conveyance.
At December 31, 2012, the Company was in the process of negotiating with the respective lenders to four of its properties (Roosevelt II, Gahanna Discount Drug Mart Plaza, Westlake Discount Drug Mart Plaza and McCormick Place) to convey the properties either through short sale, foreclosure, or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure processes (mortgage loans payable and accrued interest aggregated $23.7 million at that date). In connection with these conveyances, each applicable subsidiary borrower has stopped paying monthly mortgage payments and is currently in default on these non-recourse mortgages. At the time of such conveyances, the Company would recognize gains (an aggregate of approximately $11.4 million as of December 31, 2012) based on the excess of the carrying amounts of the liabilities (mortgage principal and any accrued property-related expenses) over the carrying amounts of the properties.

Philadelphia Redevelopment Property. The tenant at two properties, one owned in an unconsolidated joint venture and the other owned 100% by the Company (acquired in October 2010), vacated both premises in April 2011, at which time both the joint venture and the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary had CMBS non-recourse first mortgage loans secured by the properties in the amounts of $14.7 million due for payment in May 2011 and $12.9 million due for payment in March 2012, respectively ($250,000 of the $12.9 million loan was guaranteed by the Company and paid in 2012). The Company reviewed its investment alternatives and determined that it would not be prudent to proceed with the development, sale or lease of the properties, or to advance the funds necessary to pay off the mortgages. Such determination was based on the uncertainty in obtaining favorable revisions to zoning, difficult existing deed restrictions, the uncertainty in achieving required economic returns given the extensive additional capital investments required, and uncertain current market conditions for sale or lease. Accordingly, during 2011, the Company wrote off its investment in the joint venture ($8.0 million) and recorded an impairment charge related to the value of the 100%-owned property ($9.1 million). No payments have been made on the 100%-owned property mortgage since May 2011, although the Company has been accruing interest expense and will pay certain property-related maintenance/security expenses as they become due. The Company is negotiating a

conveyance of the property to the mortgagee by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure process, whereby the Companys subsidiary would be released from all obligations, including any unpaid principal and interest. At the time of such conveyance, the Company would recognize a gain (approximately $8.1 million as of December 31, 2012) based on the excess of the carrying amount of the liabilities (mortgage principal and any accrued property-related expenses) over the carrying amount of the property.
Ohio Properties. Impairment charges recorded in 2011 included additional charges of approximately $10.5 million, principally representing adjustments to the net realizable values of certain of the properties treated as held for sale/conveyance as of December 31, 2010. The additional charges were based principally on changes in the structure of previously-negotiated transactions, whereby (1) the Company terminated a contract to swap three properties for certain land parcels in Ohio and instead entered into a new agreement to sell the properties for cash and assumption of existing debt, and (2) as a result of amending its contract for the sale of the 12 properties, the Company revalued the properties on an individual basis, and not a portfolio basis (the buyers in both cases being members of the group from which the Company originally acquired substantially all of its drug store/convenience centers).
Note 5. Investment in Cedar/RioCan Joint Venture
On October 10, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with RioCan to exit the 20% Cedar / 80% RioCan joint venture that owned 22 retail properties. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company exchanged its 20% interest in the joint venture for (1) a 100% ownership interest in Franklin Village Plaza, located in Franklin, Massachusetts, at an agreed-upon value of approximately $75.1 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of approximately $43.1 million, and (2) approximately $41.6 million in cash, which was initially used to reduce the outstanding balance under the Companys Credit Facility. The Company continued to manage the properties acquired by RioCan subject to a management agreement which terminated effective January 31, 2013. In connection with the transactions, the Company has recorded a net gain of $30.5 million relating to the exit from the joint venture.
The Company earned fees from the joint venture of approximately $2.8 million, $2.8 million and $3.6 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Such fees are included in other revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
In connection with the formation of the joint venture and the agreement to transfer properties which were reclassified as held for sale, the Company recorded additional impairment charges of $2.5 million in 2010, after having recorded an initial impairment charge of $23.6 million in 2009. Such charges were based on a comparison of the arms-length negotiated transfer amounts set forth in the contract with the carrying values of the properties transferred. In 2010, the Company incurred fees to its investment advisor as it relates to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture of $2.7 million.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, certain other assets, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. The fair value of the Companys investments and liabilities related to share-based compensation were determined to be a Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions.
The valuation of the liability for the Companys interest rate swaps, which is measured on a recurring basis, was determined to be a Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and was based on independent values provided by financial institutions. Such valuations were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (significant other observable inputs). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using significant unobservable inputs such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, the fair value associated with the significant unobservable inputs relating
74
Table of Contents
Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012
to the Companys risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and, as a result, that the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon significant other observable inputs.
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements consists of real estate held for sale/conveyance, which are measured on a nonrecurring basis, have been determined to be (1) a Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on the respective contracts of sale, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, or (2) a Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on estimated sales prices, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, determined by discounted cash flow analyses, direct capitalization analyses or a sales comparison approach if no contracts had been concluded. The discounted cash flow and direct capitalization analyses include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period and, where applicable, any estimated debt premiums. These cash flows were comprised of unobservable inputs which included forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon existing in-place leases, market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these analyses were based upon observable rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. The sales comparison approach was utilized for certain land values and include comparable sales that were completed in the selected market areas. The comparable sales utilized in these analyses were based upon observable per acre rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties.
The Company engaged third party valuation experts to assist with the preparation of certain of its valuations. Other valuations were prepared using internally-developed valuation models. In addition, these valuations are reviewed and approved, during each reporting period, by a diverse group of management, as deemed necessary, including personnel from acquisitions, accounting, finance, operations, development and leasing departments, and the valuations are updated as appropriate.
The following tables show the hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively:

The fair value of the Companys fixed rate mortgage loans payable was estimated using available market information and discounted cash flows analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the aggregate fair values of the Companys fixed rate mortgage loans payable, which were determined to be a Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, were approximately $565.4 million and $526.7 million, respectively; the carrying values of such loans were $544.8 million and $523.0 million, respectively.

institutions. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its tenants and requires certain tenants to provide security deposits and/or suitable guarantees.
Giant Food Stores, LLC, Stop & Shop, Inc. and Martins at Glen Allen, each of which is owned by Ahold N.V., a Netherlands corporation, accounted for an aggregate of approximately 15%, 14% and 14% of the Companys total revenues during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively (excluding properties treated as discontinued operations).
The Companys properties are located largely in the region straddling the Washington DC to Boston corridor, which exposes it to greater economic risks than if the properties it owned were located in a greater number of geographic regions (in particular, 31 of the Companys properties are located in Pennsylvania).

Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Facility
On January 26, 2012, the Company entered into a $300 million secured credit facility (the Credit Facility), which amended, restated and consolidated its $185 million stabilized property revolving credit facility and its $150 million development property credit facility. The two prior facilities were due to expire on January 31, 2012 and June 13, 2012, respectively.
The Credit Facility is comprised of a four-year $75 million term loan and a three-year $225 million revolving credit facility, subject to collateral in place. In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company paid participating lender fees and closing and transaction costs of approximately $4.0 million. In addition, the Company wrote off $2.6 million of unamortized fees associated with the terminated stabilized property and development credit facilities.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are priced at LIBOR plus 250 bps (a weighted average rate of 2.8% per annum at December 31, 2012), and can range from LIBOR plus 200 to 300 bps based on the Companys leverage ratio. Subject to customary conditions, the term loan and the revolving credit facility may both be extended for one additional year at the Companys option. Under an accordion feature, the Credit Facility can be increased to $500 million, subject to customary conditions, collateral in place and lending commitments from participating banks.
The Credit Facility contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, minimum interest coverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the Credit Facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on
81

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. The Companys failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility could result in the acceleration of the related debt. The Credit Facility is available to fund acquisitions, redevelopment and remaining development activities, capital expenditures, mortgage repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company has $81.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit portion of the Credit Facility, and had $81.8 million available for additional borrowings as of that date.

Derivative financial instruments
At December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $31.4 million of mortgage loans payable subject to interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps converted LIBOR-based variable rates to fixed annual rates of 5.2% to 6.5% per annum. At that date, the Company had accrued liabilities of $1.6 million (included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet) relating to the fair value of interest rate swaps applicable to existing mortgage loans payable. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in fair values of such interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, noncontrolling interests (minority interests in consolidated joint ventures and limited partners interest), or operations (included in interest expense), as appropriate.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a party to certain legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect there to be adverse consequences from these actions that would be material to the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Under various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances, or petroleum product releases, at its properties. The owner may be liable to governmental entities or to third parties for property damage, and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by such parties in connection with any contamination. Generally, the Companys tenants must comply with environmental laws and meet any remediation requirements. In addition, leases typically impose obligations on tenants to indemnify the Company from any compliance costs the Company may incur as a result of environmental conditions on the property caused by the tenant. However, if a lease does not require compliance, or if a tenant fails to or cannot comply, the Company could be forced to pay these costs. Management is unaware of any environmental matters that would have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
The Companys executive offices are located at 44 South Bayles Avenue, Port Washington, New York, which it leased from a partnership owned in part by the Companys former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The terms of the lease, which will expire in February 2020, provide for future minimum rents as follows: 2013$509,000, 2014$523,000, 2015$537,000, 2016$552,000, 2017$567,000, and thereafter -$1.3 million. In addition, several of the Companys properties and portions of several others are owned subject to operating leases which provide for annual payments subject, in certain cases, to cost-of-living or

fair market value adjustments, as follows: 2013$1.0 million, 2014$1.0 million, 2015$1.0 million, 2016$1.0 million, 2017$0.5 million, and thereafter$8.7 million.
Rent expense was $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $1.0 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP) which offers a convenient method for shareholders to invest cash dividends and/or make optional cash payments to purchase shares of the Companys common stock. Such purchases are at 100% of market value (increased in March 2011 from 98% of market value). During 2012 and 2011, the Company issued 1,000 shares and 693,000 shares of its common stock, respectively, at average prices of $4.96 per share and $6.02 per share, respectively, and realized proceeds after expenses of approximately $6,000 and $4.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, there remained 2,854,000 shares authorized under the DRIP.
During 2012, holders of approximately 1,134,000 OP Units (including 564,000 mezzanine OP Units) converted their holdings to shares of the Companys common stock. In connection therewith, $3.9 million of the carrying value of mezzanine OP Units was reclassified to equity.
In connection with an acquisition of a shopping center in 2002, the Operating Partnership issued warrants to purchase approximately 83,000 OP Units at an exercise price of $13.50 per unit. Such warrants expired on May 31, 2012.
In connection with a litigation settlement in the Companys favor in 2011, the Company received a cash payment of $225,000. In addition, the defendants acquired 39,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an average price of $5.78 per share from which the Company realized additional net proceeds of $225,000.

(a) | Includes expense relating to equity and liability awards, as discussed below. |
(b) | The 2012 and 2011 amounts include $362,000 and $1,980,000 applicable to accelerated vestings, respectively, and are included in management transition charges and employee termination costs. |
(c) | Includes 2,250,000 shares granted to the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer in 2011, but not issued until 2012, as discussed below. |
During 2012, in addition to shares issued to the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer, as discussed below, there were 698,000 other time-based restricted shares issued with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.75 per share. The 2012 Plan authorized 4.5 million shares to be available for grant and increased the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant in any calendar year to 500,000. At December 31, 2012, 2.4 million shares remained available for grants pursuant to the 2012 Plan and, at that date, there remained an aggregate of approximately $12.1 million applicable to all grants and awards to be expensed over a weighted average period of 4.8 years.
The per share weighted average grant date fair values of shares granted during 2012, 2011, and 2010 were $4.68, $5.40 and $6.54, respectively. The total fair values of shares vested during 2012, 2011, and 2010 were $2,126,000, $5,507,000, and $996,000, respectively (the 2012 and 2011 amounts include $585,000 and $3,569,000, respectively, applicable to accelerated vestings).
In June 2011, in connection with the retirement of the Companys Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and the end of the employment of the Companys Chief Financial Officer (see Note 17 Management Transition Charges and Employee

Termination Costs), all of their outstanding restricted share grants, consisting of time-based grants (284,000 shares) and performance-based grants (422,000 shares) became vested (an aggregate of 706,000 shares), and were expensed in full at the then market value of the shares (an aggregate of approximately $2.0 million).
The Companys new President and Chief Executive Officer was to receive restricted share grants totaling 2.5 million shares, one-half of which to be time-based, vesting upon the seventh anniversary of the date of grant (vesting on June 15, 2018), and the other half to be performance-based, to be earned if the total annual return on an investment in the Companys common stock (TSR) is at least an average of 6.5% per year for the seven years ending June 15, 2018. An independent appraisal determined the value of the performance-based award to be $4.39 per share compared to a market price at the date of grant of $4.98 per share. As a result of a per-person limitation within the 2004 Plan, only 500,000 shares had been issued through June 2012, 1.5 million shares had been accounted for as an equity award, and 500,000 shares had been accounted for as a liability award. The values of the equity and liability awards were expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. As specifically provided in the 2012 Plan, the 2.0 million shares previously designated as equity and liability awards were issued, with the liability award being reclassified to equity. Consistent with such awards to other recipients, dividends were paid on all the shares, including the equity and liability award shares, with the dividends paid on the equity award shares treated as distributions to common shareholders and included in the statement of equity, and the dividends paid on the liability award shares treated as compensation and included in the statement of operations. In addition, with respect to the liability award, adjustments to reflect changes in the fair value of the award (based on changes in the market price of the Companys common stock) were also charged to operations.
In January 2011 and 2010, the Company issued shares of common stock as performance-based grants, with vesting to be based on the TSR over the three calendar years commencing with the dates of grant. Portions of each grant would vest (1) if the TSR on the Companys common stock is equal to or greater than a specified average return per year (the Absolute TSR), and (2) if there is a positive comparison of the TSR on the Companys common stock to the Companys peer group (the Relative TSR). The Company obtained independent appraisals to determine the values of each category of the performance-based shares issued. The following table summarizes information relating to the performance-based grants:

After accelerated vestings in 2012 and 2011 of certain of these shares, there remained 100,000 shares and 73,000 shares, respectively, of the 2011 and 2010 performance-based awards. However, as the Company did not achieve either TSR measure for the three years ended December 31, 2012, none of the shares granted in 2010 vested. In addition to the performance-based grants, there were other time-based restricted shares issued of 436,000 shares and 279,000 shares for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Note 20. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Companys common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities (restricted shares issued pursuant to the Companys share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such shares have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends). Unvested restricted shares are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common shareholders. For 2012 and 2011, the Company had 3.3 million and 2.3 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding. EPS for 2010 is calculated based on the data presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for 2012 and 2011, respectively:

Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and the related OP Units have been excluded from the denominator for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS as there would have been no effect had such amounts been included. The weighted average number of OP Units outstanding for 2012, 2011 and 2010 were 459,000, 1,415,000 and 1,814,000, respectively. In addition, warrants for the purchase of OP Units, which expired on May 31, 2012, have been excluded as they were anti-dilutive for all applicable periods.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In this regard, the Company has formed a Disclosure Committee currently comprised of several of the Companys executive officers as well as certain other employees with knowledge of information that may be considered in the SEC reporting process. The Committee has responsibility for the development and assessment of the financial and non-financial information to be included in the reports filed with the SEC, and assists the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with their certifications contained in the Companys SEC filings. The Committee meets regularly and reports to the Audit Committee on a quarterly or more frequent basis. The Companys principal executive and financial officers have evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012, and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls over financial reporting during the last quarter of 2012.

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Companys internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Companys management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
The Companys management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on such assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2012, the Companys internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
Ernst & Young LLP, the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting, which appears elsewhere in this report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
We have audited Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2012 consolidated financial statements of Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. and our report dated March 7, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
