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 September 30, 2014, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 58 operating properties (excluding properties held for sale/conveyance).
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 September 30, 2014, the Company owned a 99.5% economic interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership. The limited partners interest in the Operating Partnership (0.5% at September 30, 2014) 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 395,000 OP Units outstanding at September 30, 2014 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 accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with 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 prior period financial statements reflect certain reclassifications which had no impact on previously-reported net income attributable to common shareholders or earnings per share. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncement
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance which amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the amended guidance, a disposal of an individual property or group of properties (i.e., when a property or properties are sold or meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale) is required to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Companys operations and financial results. The amended guidance also requires additional disclosures about both discontinued operations and the disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements. The Company has adopted the provisions of this guidance as of January 1, 2014, and has applied the provisions prospectively. The results of operations for properties classified as held for sale/conveyance prior to the adoption of this guidance will continue to be reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance which amends the accounting for revenue recognition. Under the amended guidance, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance which requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide disclosures when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption being permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Real Estate
On March 21, 2014, the Company acquired Quartermaster Plaza located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The purchase price for the property was approximately $92.3 million, of which approximately $53.4 million was funded from the assumptions of (1) a $42.1 million mortgage loan payable, bearing interest at the rate of 5.3% per annum and maturing in October 2015, and (2) an $11.3 million mortgage loan payable, bearing interest at the rate of 5.5% per annum and maturing in October 2014 (repaid in June 2014), with the remainder being funded from the Companys unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company incurred costs of $2.9 million in connection with this acquisition. In addition, the purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to real estate assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as applicable, in accordance with accounting policies for business combinations, such valuations to be finalized when valuation studies are completed.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company determined to sell the properties listed below, the sales of which did not meet the criteria set forth in the newly-adopted guidance for reporting discontinued operations (See Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). As such, these properties have been classified as real estate held for sale/conveyance as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and their results of operations have remained in continuing operations. The carrying values of the assets and liabilities of those properties that remained unsold at September 30, 2014 totaled $29.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively, and are included in real estate held for sale/conveyance and mortgage loans payable real estate held for sale/conveyance, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

(a) | Property sold on October 21, 2014 for a sales price of $12.4 million, which approximated its carrying value as of that date. |
The Company conducts a continuing review of the values for all properties held for sale/conveyance based on final sales prices and sales contracts entered into. Impairment charges/reversals, if applicable, are 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 5 - Fair Value Measurements, or (3) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less cost to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the applicable market areas.
Note 4 Discontinued Operations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold the following properties classified as discontinued operations:

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and variable-rate debt approximate fair value due to their terms and/or short-term nature. The fair value of the Companys investments and liabilities related to share-based compensation were determined to be Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions.
The valuation of the liabilities for the Companys interest rate swaps, which are measured on a recurring basis, were determined to be Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions. Such valuations were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analyses reflect the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and user-observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (significant other observable inputs). The fair value calculation also includes an amount

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
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 September 30, 2014, the fair value associated with the significant unobservable inputs relating 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 consist of real estate held for sale/conveyance, which are measured on a nonrecurring basis, have been determined to be (1) Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on the respective contracts of sale, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, or (2) 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.
Valuations were prepared using internally-developed valuation models. These valuations are reviewed and approved, during each reporting period, by a diverse group of management, as deemed necessary, including personnel from the acquisition, accounting, finance, operations, development and leasing departments, and the valuations are updated as appropriate. In addition, the Company may engage third party valuation experts to assist with the preparation of certain of its valuations.
The following tables show the hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively:

The fair value of the Companys fixed rate mortgage loans were 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate fair values of the Companys fixed rate mortgage loans payable and mortgage loans payable real estate held for sale/conveyance, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, were approximately $426.3 million and $495.1 million, respectively; the carrying values of such loans were $405.2 million and $481.1 million, respectively.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
The Company has a $260 million revolving credit facility, expiring on August 1, 2016. The revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Companys option, for two additional one-year periods, subject to customary conditions. Under an accordion feature, the facility can be increased to $500 million, subject to customary conditions, and lending commitments from participating banks. The facility contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured debt, minimum interest coverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. Although the facility is unsecured, borrowing availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income, as defined in the agreement. The Companys failure to comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the facility could result in the acceleration of the related debt. As of September 30, 2014, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are priced at LIBOR plus 175 basis points (bps) (a weighted average rate of 2.0% per annum at September 30, 2014), and can range from LIBOR plus 165 bps to 225 bps based on the Companys leverage ratio.
On February 11, 2014, the Company closed $150 million of unsecured term loans consisting of a five-year $75 million term loan, maturing on February 11, 2019, and a seven-year $75 million term loan, maturing on February 11, 2021. Under an accordion feature, the term loans can be increased to an aggregate of $300 million, subject to customary conditions and lending commitments from participating banks. The financial covenants and other terms contained in the loan agreement are substantially the same as those contained in the Companys revolving credit facility (see above). In connection with the transaction, the Company paid fees and legal expenses of approximately $1.1 million.
The five-year term loan, all of which was borrowed at closing, is priced at LIBOR plus 155 bps (a rate of 1.7% per annum at September 30, 2014), and can range from LIBOR plus 145 bps to 205 bps based on the Companys leverage ratio. The seven-year term loan, all of which was borrowed on June 24, 2014, is priced at LIBOR plus 180 bps (a rate of 2.0% per annum at September 30, 2014), and can range from LIBOR plus 170 bps to 230 bps, also based on the Companys leverage ratio. The Company has entered into forward interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates for the new term loans beginning July 1, 2014 through their maturities. As a result, based on the Companys leverage ratio as of September 30, 2014, the effective fixed interest rates are 3.2% for the five-year term loan and 4.1% for the seven-year term loan.
Derivative Financial Instruments
As discussed above, on February 11, 2014, the Company closed $150 million of unsecured term loans for which it entered into forward interest rate swap agreements, which became effective on July 1, 2014.
On May 29, 2014, the Company sold Townfair Center, which collateralized an $11.8 million mortgage loan payable subject to an interest rate swap having a fair value recorded as a liability of $0.7 million. At closing, the buyer assumed both the outstanding mortgage loan payable and the related interest rate swap, and the aforementioned $0.7 million was removed from both other comprehensive loss and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
At September 30, 2014, the Company had $933,000 on the consolidated balance sheet included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities relating to the fair value of the interest rate swaps applicable to the $150 million unsecured term loans which closed on February 11, 2014. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are made

to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), noncontrolling interests (minority interests in consolidated joint ventures and limited partners interest), or operations (included in interest expense), as applicable. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The Company estimates that approximately $2.8 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified as a charge to earnings within the next twelve months.

The Companys 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2012 Plan) establishes the procedures for the granting of, among other things, restricted stock awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were 133,000 time-based restricted shares issued, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.32 per share. At September 30, 2014, approximately 1.6 million shares remained available for grants pursuant to the 2012 Plan.
Note 11. 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 the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 3.7 million and 3.9 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 3.7 million and 3.8 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 was 395,000 and 252,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 447,000 and 271,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Item 2. 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 that focuses primarily on ownership and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers straddling the Washington DC to Boston corridor. At September 30, 2014, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 58 operating properties (excluding properties held for sale/conveyance) totaling approximately 9.2 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA). The portfolio was 93.1% leased and 92.7% occupied at September 30, 2014.
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.
2014 Significant Transactions
Acquisition
On March 21, 2014, the Company acquired Quartermaster Plaza located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The purchase price for the property was approximately $92.3 million, of which approximately $53.4 million was funded from the assumptions of (1) a $42.1 million mortgage loan payable, bearing interest at the rate of 5.3% per annum and maturing in October 2015, and (2) an $11.3 million mortgage loan payable, bearing interest at the rate of 5.5% per annum and maturing in October 2014 (repaid in June 2014), with the remainder being funded from the Companys unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company incurred costs of $2.9 million in connection with this acquisition.

Revenues were higher primarily as a result of (1) an increase of $2.6 million in rental revenues and expense recoveries for properties acquired in the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013, and (2) an increase of $0.3 million in rental revenues and expense recoveries at the Companys redevelopment properties, partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in rental revenues and expense recoveries at properties classified in 2014 as real estate held for sale/conveyance, both sold and still held for sale.
Property operating expenses were higher primarily as a result of an increase of $0.4 million in property operating expenses at properties acquired in the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in real estate taxes and other operating expenses, primarily repairs and maintenance and non-billable expenses.
Impairment charges in 2014 relate to the impairments of properties classified in 2014 as real estate held for sale/conveyance.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were lower primarily as a result of (1) accelerated depreciation of $3.8 million in 2013 relating to the demolition of certain buildings associated with the redevelopment and lease up of vacant spaces, and (2) a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.5 million related to properties classified in 2014 as real estate held for sale/conveyance as the carrying values of these properties are now measured at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, partially offset by an increase of $0.8 million in depreciation and amortization expenses relating to properties acquired in the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013.

Table of Contents
Interest expense decreased (1) $0.5 million as a result of a decrease in the overall outstanding principal balance of debt and (2) $0.1 million relating to a decrease in amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase as a result of an overall higher weighted average interest rate.
Gain on sales in 2014 relates to the sales of properties treated as held for sale/conveyance subsequent to December 31, 2013.
Discontinued operations for 2014 and 2013 include the results of operations and impairment charges for properties sold or treated as discontinued operations on or before December 31, 2013, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report.

Revenues were higher primarily as a result of (1) an increase of $6.1 million in rental revenues and expense recoveries for properties acquired in the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013, (2) an increase of $1.3 million in rental revenues and expense recoveries at the Companys same-property portfolio, and (3) an increase of $0.6 million in rental revenues and expense recoveries at the Companys redevelopment properties, partially offset by (1) a decrease of $0.7 million in rental revenues and expense recoveries at properties classified in 2014 as real estate held for sale/conveyance, both sold and still held for sale, and (2) a decrease of $0.2 million in management fee income related to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture; the management agreement was terminated effective January 31, 2013.
Property operating expenses were higher primarily as a result of (1) an increase of $1.1 million in property operating expenses at properties acquired in the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013, (2) an increase of $0.8 million in snow removal costs, and (3) an increase of $0.6 million in other operating expenses, primarily repairs and maintenance and non-billable expenses.
General and administrative expenses were higher primarily as a result of increase in payroll and related benefits including share-based compensation and employee placement fees.
Acquisition costs in 2014 relate to the purchase of Quartermaster Plaza, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Impairment (charges)/reversal in 2014 relates to the impairments of properties classified in 2014 as real estate held for sale/conveyance. The impairment reversal in 2013 relates to the partial cash recovery on a loan receivable previously written off.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were lower primarily as a result of (1) accelerated depreciation of $3.8 million in 2013 relating to the demolition of certain buildings associated with the redevelopment and lease up of vacant spaces, (2) a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.9 million related to properties classified in 2014 as real estate held for sale/conveyance as the carrying values of these properties are now measured at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, and (3) a $0.4 million reduction due to the completion of scheduled depreciation and amortization, partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million in depreciation and amortization expenses relating to properties acquired in the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013.
Interest expense decreased (1) $1.5 million as a result of a lower weighted average interest rate, (2) $0.5 million as a result of a decrease in the overall outstanding principal balance of debt, and (3) $0.2 million relating to a decrease in amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in capitalized interest.
Gain on sales in 2014 relates to the sales of properties treated as held for sale/conveyance subsequent to December 31, 2013. Gain on sales in 2013 relates to the sale of a land parcel treated as held for sale/conveyance.

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:

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, capital improvements, and maturing debt initially with its revolving credit facility, and ultimately through a combination of issuing and/or assuming additional debt, the sale of equity securities, the issuance of additional OP Units, and/or the sale of properties. Although the Company believes it has access to secured and unsecured financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the availability of financing on completed development projects, additional construction financing, or proceeds from the refinancing of existing debt.
The Company has a $260 million revolving credit facility, expiring on August 1, 2016. The revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Companys option, for two additional one-year periods, subject to customary conditions. Under an accordion feature, the facility can be increased to $500 million, subject to customary conditions and lending commitments from participating banks. The facility contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured debt, minimum interest coverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. Although the facility is unsecured, borrowing availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income, as defined in the agreement. The Companys failure to comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the facility could result in the acceleration of the related debt. As of September 30, 2014, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants.
33
Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $81.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and had $168.4 million available for additional borrowings. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are priced at LIBOR plus 175 bps (a weighted average rate of 2.0% per annum at September 30, 2014), and can range from LIBOR plus 165 bps to 225 bps based on the Companys leverage ratio.
On February 11, 2014, the Company closed $150 million of unsecured term loans consisting of a five-year $75 million term loan, maturing on February 11, 2019, and a seven-year $75 million term loan, maturing on February 11, 2021. Under an accordion feature, the term loans can be increased to an aggregate of $300 million, subject to customary conditions and lending commitments from participating banks. The financial covenants and other terms contained in the loan agreement are substantially the same as those contained in the Companys revolving credit facility. In connection with the transaction, the Company paid fees and legal expenses of approximately $1.1 million.
The five-year term loan, all of which was borrowed at closing, is priced at LIBOR plus 155 bps (a rate of 1.7% per annum at September 30, 2014), and can range from LIBOR plus 145 bps to 205 bps based on the Companys leverage ratio. The seven-year term loan, all of which was borrowed on June 24, 2014, is priced at LIBOR plus 180 bps (a rate of 2.0% per annum at September 30, 2014), and can range from LIBOR plus 170 bps to 230 bps, also based on the Companys leverage ratio. The Company has entered into forward interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates for the new term loans beginning July 1, 2014 through their maturities. As a result, based on the Companys leverage ratio as of September 30, 2014, the effective fixed interest rates are 3.2% for the five-year term loan and 4.1% for the seven-year term loan.
Debt, excluding properties held for sale/conveyance, is comprised of the following at September 30, 2014:

The Company has approximately $3.6 million and $104.4 million of scheduled balloon payments on its property-specific mortgage loans payable for the remainder of 2014 and for the full-year 2015, respectively.
34
Table of Contents
Property-specific mortgage loans payable, unsecured term loans and the unsecured revolving credit facility have an overall weighted average interest rate of 4.3% at September 30, 2014, 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.
On January 13, 2014, the Company concluded a public offering of 6,900,000 shares of its common stock (including 900,000 shares relating to the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters), and realized net proceeds, after offering expenses, of approximately $41.3 million.
The Company has an at-the-market offering program under which it may offer and sell, from time-to-time, up to 10 million shares of its common stock. Through September 30, 2014, no shares had been sold under this program.
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 common and preferred stock dividends during 2013, and has continued to pay common and preferred stock dividends during 2014. 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 $42.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $39.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The $2.8 million increase was primarily attributable to a reduction in interest expense of $2.9 million, as property operating income contributed by acquisitions, net of acquisition costs, was substantially offset by a reduction in property operating income associated with properties sold. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was a $2.9 million decrease, primarily due from the timing of collections of receivables and payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Table of Contents
Investing Activities
Net cash flows provided by investing activities were primarily the result of the Companys property disposition activities, a property acquisition and expenditures for property improvements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received $85.4 million in proceeds from sales of properties classified as held for sale/conveyance and received $1.6 million in construction escrows and other, which was partially offset by the acquisition of a shopping center, which was partially paid in cash, for $38.9 million, and expenditures of $9.7 million for property improvements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company received $17.4 million in proceeds from sales of properties classified as held for sale/conveyance, received $1.7 million in proceeds from construction escrows and other, and received a $1.1 million repayment of a note receivable, offset by expenditures of $14.9 million for property improvements.
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company made $165.3 million of repayments of mortgage obligations, $72.5 million of net repayments under the revolving credit facility, $22.7 million of preferred and common stock distributions, $1.3 million payments of debt financing costs, $1.0 million of distributions to consolidated joint venture minority interests and limited partners, and a $0.4 million payment for the redemption of OP Units, offset by borrowings of $150.0 million under its new term loans and net proceeds of $41.2 million from the sale of its common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company made $65.7 million of repayments of mortgage obligations, $35.0 million for the redemption of the 8.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $25.0 million repayments under its term loan, $21.6 million of preferred and common stock distributions, $1.9 million payments of debt financing costs, $0.7 million of distributions to consolidated joint venture minority interests and limited partners, and a $0.2 million redemption of OP Units, offset by $59.8 million of proceeds from the sale of the 7.25% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and $49.0 million of net advances under the revolving credit facility.
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.
36
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 the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

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 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
One of the principal market risks facing the Company is interest rate risk on its unsecured credit facility and term loans. The Company may, when it believes it is advantageous, as it did with its $150 million of new unsecured term loans, hedge its interest rate risk by using derivative financial instruments. The Company is not subject to foreign currency risk.
37
Table of Contents
The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily through its variable-rate revolving credit facility and term loans used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and redevelopment activities, and expand its real estate investment portfolio. 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. On February 11, 2014, the Company closed $150 million of unsecured term loans. The Company has entered into forward interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates for the new term loans beginning July 1, 2014 through their maturities. As a result, the effective fixed interest rates are 3.2% for the $75.0 million five-year term loan and 4.1% for the $75.0 million seven-year term loan at September 30, 2014, based on the Companys current leverage ratio At September 30, 2014, the Company had $933,000 included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet relating to the fair value of the interest rate swaps applicable to the $150 million unsecured term loans.
