interests in 55 operating properties (consisting of 51 retail properties, three
commercial operating properties and an associated parking garage), seven
properties under development or redevelopment and 95 acres of land held for
future development.
Note
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
The
Company’s management has prepared the accompanying unaudited financial
statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures
are adequate to make the presentation not misleading. The unaudited
financial statements as of September 30, 2009 and for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 include, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present
fairly the financial information set forth therein. The condensed
consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes
thereto included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form
10-K. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
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 reported period. Actual results could
differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected on an annual basis.
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”). The
Codification is now the single source of authoritative nongovernmental
GAAP. It does not change current GAAP, but is intended to simplify
user access to all authoritative GAAP by providing all the authoritative
literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing
accounting standard documents were superseded and all other accounting
literature not included in the Codification is now considered
non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. Accordingly, the Company has updated all references to
authoritative GAAP to coincide with the appropriate section of the
Codification.
Consolidation
and Investments in Joint Ventures
The
accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated
basis and include all accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the
taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and any variable interest
entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary
beneficiary. The Company consolidates properties that are wholly
owned as well as properties it controls but in which it owns less than a 100%
interest. Control of a property is demonstrated by:
|
·
|
the
Company’s ability to manage day-to-day operations of the
property;
|
|
·
|
the
Company’s ability to refinance debt and sell the property without the
consent of any other partner or
owner;
|
|
·
|
the
inability of any other partner or owner to replace us as a manager of the
property; or
|
|
·
|
being
the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
|
The
Company’s determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all
relationships between the Company and the VIE, including management agreements
and other contractual arrangements, when determining the party obligated to
absorb the majority of the expected losses, as defined in Topic 810 –
“Consolidation” in the ASC. As circumstances change, the Company
evaluates whether a “reconsideration event” has occurred that would change its
conclusion as to whether an entity is a VIE and/or whether the Company is the
primary beneficiary of the VIE.
The third
party loan on The Centre, a previously unconsolidated operating property in
which we own a 60% interest, matured on August 1, 2009. In July 2009,
in order to pay off this loan, the Company made a capital contribution of $2.1
million and simultaneously extended a loan of $1.4 million to the partnership
bearing interest at 12% for 30 days and 15% thereafter, which is due within 30
days upon demand, but in no event before January 31, 2010. The
Company’s extension of a loan to the partnership caused the Company to
reevaluate whether The Centre qualifies as a VIE and whether the Company is its
primary beneficiary. The analysis concluded that The Centre now
qualifies as a VIE and the Company is its primary beneficiary. As a
result, the financial statements of The Centre were consolidated as of September
30, 2009, the assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value, and a non-cash
gain of $1.6 million was recorded, of which the Company's share was
approximately $1.0 million. A market
participant income approach was utilized to estimate the fair value of the
investment property, related intangibles, and noncontrolling interest. The
income approach required the Company to make assumptions about market leasing
rates, discount rates, noncontrolling interest and disposal values using Level 2
inputs. The consolidation of the Centre is reflected as a noncash item in
the statement of cash flows. There were no other reconsideration
events during the quarter and, therefore, there were no other changes as of
September 30, 2009 to the Company’s conclusions regarding whether an entity
qualifies as a VIE or whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any
previously identified VIE.
As of
September 30, 2009, the Company had investments in seven joint ventures that are
VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As of this date,
these VIEs had total debt of approximately $102.6 million which is secured by
assets of the VIEs totaling approximately $183.1 million. The
Operating Partnership guarantees the debt of these VIEs.
The
Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the
equity method of accounting as it exercises significant influence over, but does
not control, operating and financial policies. These investments are
recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and
cash contributions and distributions.
Noncontrolling
Interests
In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(“SFAS”) No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements,” which was primarily codified into Topic 810 – “Consolidation” in
the ASC. The provision requires a noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary to be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income
specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest to be identified in the
consolidated financial statements. As a result of the retrospective
application of this provision, which was adopted by the Company on January 1,
2009, the Company reclassified noncontrolling interest from the liability
section to the equity section in its accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets and as an allocation of net income rather than an expense in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a
result of the reclassification, total equity at December 31, 2008 increased $4.4
million.
The
noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

In
addition, as part of the adoption of this provision, the Company also applied
the measurement provisions of EITF Topic D-98 “Classification and Measurement of
Redeemable Securities,” which was also primarily codified into Topic 810 –
“Consolidation” in the ASC. In applying the measurement provisions,
the Company did not change the classification of redeemable noncontrolling
interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets because the Company may be required to pay cash to
unitholders upon redemption of their interests in the limited partnership under
certain circumstances. However, as noted above, noncontrolling
interests, including redeemable interests, are now classified as an allocation
of net income rather than an expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
The
redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

The
adoption of the measurement provisions also requires that the carrying amount of
the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership be
reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a
corresponding adjustment to accumulated deficit. The adoption of
these provisions did not impact either of the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets.
Although
the presentation of certain of the Company’s noncontrolling interests in
subsidiaries did change as a result of the adoption of the provisions, there was
not a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of
operations.
In
addition to the reclassified amounts discussed above, the Company also
reclassified certain prior year amounts related to discontinued operations to
conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had
no effect on net income attributable to the Company.
The
Company allocates net operating results of the Operating Partnership to
noncontrolling interest holders based on the partners’ weighted average
ownership interest. The Company adjusts the noncontrolling interests
in the Operating Partnership at the end of each period to reflect such interests
in the Operating Partnership at the greater of historical book value or
redemption value. This adjustment is reflected in the Company’s
shareholders’ equity. The Company’s and the redeemable noncontrolling
interests in the Operating Partnership for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

Investment
Properties
Investment
properties are recorded at cost and include costs of acquisitions, development,
pre-development, construction costs, certain allocated overhead, tenant
allowances and improvements, and interest and real estate taxes incurred during
construction. Significant renovations and improvements are
capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the
efficiency of the asset. If a tenant vacates a space prior to the
lease expiration, terminates its lease, or otherwise notifies the Company of its
intent to do so, any related unamortized tenant allowances are immediately
expensed. Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful lives
of the respective assets are reflected in property operating
expense.
The
Company incurs costs prior to land acquisition and for certain land held for
development including acquisition contract deposits, as well as legal,
engineering and other external professional fees related to evaluating the
feasibility of developing a shopping center. These pre-development
costs are included in construction in progress in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets. If the Company determines that the
development of a property is no longer probable, any pre-development costs
previously incurred are immediately expensed. Once construction
commences on the land, the related capitalized costs are transferred to
construction in progress.
The
Company also capitalizes costs such as construction, interest, real estate
taxes, salaries and related costs of personnel directly involved with the
development of our properties. As portions of the development
property become operational, the Company expenses appropriate costs on a pro
rata basis.
Depreciation
on buildings and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method
over estimated original useful lives ranging from 10 to 35
years. Depreciation on tenant allowances and improvements is provided
utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related
lease. Depreciation on equipment and fixtures is provided utilizing
the straight-line method over 5 to 10 years.
Impairment
Management
reviews investment properties, land parcels and intangible assets within the
real estate operation and development segments for impairment on at least a
quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of investment properties may not be recoverable. The
review for possible impairment requires management to make certain assumptions
and estimates and requires significant judgment. Impairment losses
for investment properties are recorded when the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected
holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those
assets. Impairment losses are measured as the excess of the carrying
value over the estimated fair value of the asset.
In the
third quarter of 2009, as part of its regular quarterly review, the Company
determined that it was appropriate to write off the net book value on the
Galleria Plaza operating property in Dallas Texas and recognize a non-cash
impairment charge of $5.4 million. The Company’s estimated future
cash flows, which consider recent negative property-specific events, are
anticipated to be insufficient to cover costs due to significant ground lease
obligations and expected future required capital expenditures. A
market participant income approach was utilized to estimate the fair value of
the investment property improvements and related intangibles. The income
approach required us to make assumptions about market leasing rates, discount
rates, and disposal values using Level 2 inputs. The Company determined
that there is no value to the improvements and related
intangibles. The Company leases the ground on which the property is
situated and currently intends to turn over the operations of and convey the
title to the center to the ground lessor. There is no mortgage on the
property. Management does not believe any other investment properties
are impaired as of September 30, 2009.
Operating
properties held for sale include only those properties available for immediate
sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable
that a sale of the property will be completed within one
year. Operating properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair
value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended
during the period during which the asset is held-for-sale.
The
Company’s properties generally have operations and cash flows that can be
clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company. The operations
reported in discontinued operations include those operating properties that were
sold or considered held-for-sale and for which operations and cash flows can be
clearly distinguished. The operations from these properties are
eliminated from ongoing operations and the Company will not have a continuing
involvement after disposition. Prior periods have been reclassified
to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations to the
extent they are material to the results of operations.
Revenue
Recognition
As
lessor, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of
ownership of the investment properties and accounts for its leases as operating
leases.
Base
minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
respective leases. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that
grant additional rents based on tenants’ sales volume (contingent percentage
rent). Percentage rents are recognized when tenants achieve the
specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. Percentage
rents are included in other property related revenue in the accompanying
statements of operations.
Reimbursements
from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are
recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expense is
incurred.
Gains and
losses from sales are not recognized unless a sale has been consummated, the
buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a
commitment to pay for the property, the Company has transferred to the buyer the
usual risks and rewards of ownership, and the Company does not have a
substantial continuing financial involvement in the property. As part
of the Company’s ongoing business strategy, it will, from time to time, sell
land parcels and outlots, some of which are ground leased to
tenants. Net gains realized on such sales were $0.5 million and $2.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively,
and $2.1 million and $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively, and are classified as other property related revenue in
the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenues
from construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion
method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to the estimated
total cost for each contract. Project costs include all direct labor,
subcontract, and material costs and those indirect costs related to contract
performance costs incurred to date. Project costs do not include
uninstalled materials. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated
profitability may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized
in the period in which the revisions are determined.
From time
to time, the Company will construct and sell build-to-suit merchant assets to
third parties. Proceeds from the sale of build-to-suit merchant
assets are included in construction and service fee revenue and the related
costs of the sale of these assets are included in cost of construction and
services in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Development
and other advisory services fees are recognized as revenues in the period in
which the services are rendered. Performance-based incentive fees are
recorded when the fees are earned.
Tenant
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Tenant
receivables consist primarily of billed minimum rent, accrued and billed tenant
reimbursements and accrued straight-line rent. The Company generally
does not require specific collateral from its tenants other than corporate or
personal guarantees.
An
allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting
from the inability of certain tenants or others to meet contractual obligations
under their lease or other agreements. This allowance includes an
estimate of the amount of the straight-line rent receivable that is deemed to be
unrealizable over the term of the tenants’ leases. Accounts are
written off when, in the opinion of management, the balance is
uncollectible.
Note
3. Earnings Per Share
Basic
earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
determined based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding combined
with the incremental average shares that would have been outstanding assuming
all potentially dilutive shares were converted into common shares as of the
earliest date possible.
Potentially
dilutive securities include outstanding share options, units in the Operating
Partnership, which may be exchanged, at our option, for either cash or common
shares under certain circumstances and deferred share units, which may be
credited to the accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash
compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees. Due
to the Company’s net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2009, the potentially dilutive securities were not dilutive for these
periods. The only securities that had a potentially dilutive effect
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were outstanding share
options and deferred share units, the dilutive effect of which was as
follows:

periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately 1.2 million and 1.4
million outstanding common share options, respectively, were excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share because their impact was
anti-dilutive.
Note
4. Discontinued Operations
In
December 2008, the Company sold its Silver Glen Crossings property, located in
Chicago, Illinois. The results related to this property have been
reflected as discontinued operations for three and nine months ended September
30, 2008.

Mortgage
and construction loans are collateralized by certain real estate properties and
leases. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of
interest and principal and mature over various terms through
2022. Variable interest rates on mortgage and construction loans are
based on LIBOR plus a spread of 125 to 350 basis points. At September
30, 2009, the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 0.25%. Fixed interest
rates on mortgage loans range from 5.11% to 7.65%.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company had loan borrowings of $74.0
million and loan repayments of $91.2 million. The major components of
this activity are as follows:
·
|
Draws
of approximately $16.0 million were made on the variable rate construction
loan at the Eddy Street Commons development
project;
|
·
|
The
$15.8 million fixed rate mortgage loan on the Ridge Plaza property was
retired prior to its October 2009 maturity using available
cash.
|
·
|
The
$8.2 million loan on the Bridgewater Crossing property was refinanced with
a $7.0 million loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 185 basis points and
maturing in June 2013. The Company funded a $1.2 million
paydown with cash.
|
·
|
The
maturity date of the construction loan on the Cobblestone Plaza property
was extended to March 2010. The Company funded a $7.0 million
paydown with cash;
|
·
|
The
$4.1 million loan on the Fishers Station property was refinanced with a
loan bearing interest at LIBOR + 350 basis points and maturing in June
2011;
|
·
|
Permanent
financing of $15.4 million was placed on the Eastgate Pavilion shopping
center, a previously unencumbered property. This variable rate
loan bears interest at LIBOR + 295 basis points and matures in April
2012;
|
·
|
The
maturity date of the Delray Marketplace construction loan
was extended from July 2009 to June
2011;
|
·
|
The
maturity date of the variable rate loan on the Beacon Hill property was
extended from March 2009 to March 2014. The Company funded the
$3.5 million paydown made in conjunction with the extension utilizing its
unsecured revolving credit
facility;
|
·
|
Approximately
$57 million was paid down on the unsecured revolving credit facility using
proceeds from the Company’s May 2009 common share
offering;
|
·
|
In
addition to the preceding activity, during the nine months ended September
30, 2009, the Company used proceeds from its unsecured revolving credit
facility and other borrowings (exclusive of repayments) totaling
approximately $38 million for development, redevelopment, and general
working capital purposes; and
|
·
|
The
Company made scheduled principal payments totaling approximately $2.9
million.
|
Unsecured
Revolving Credit Facility
In 2007,
the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated four-year $200
million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “unsecured facility”) with a
group of financial institutions led by Key Bank National Association, as
agent. The Company and several of the Operating Partnership’s
subsidiaries are guarantors of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the
unsecured facility. The unsecured facility has a maturity date of
February 20, 2011, with a one-year extension option (subject to certain
customary conditions). Borrowings under the unsecured facility bear
interest at a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 115 to 135 basis points,
depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The unsecured facility has
a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.20% applicable to the average daily
unused amount. Subject to certain conditions, including the prior
consent of the lenders, the Company has the option to increase its borrowings
under the unsecured facility to a maximum of $400 million if there are sufficient
unencumbered assets to support the additional borrowings. The
unsecured facility also includes a short-term borrowing line of $25 million with
a variable interest rate. Borrowings under the short-term line may
not be outstanding for more than five days.
The
amount that the Company may borrow under the unsecured facility is based on the
value of assets in its unencumbered property pool. As of September
30, 2009, the Company has 52 unencumbered properties and other assets used to
calculate the value of the unencumbered property pool, of which 49 are wholly
owned and three of which are owned through joint ventures. The major
unencumbered assets include: Broadstone Station, Courthouse Shadows, Four Corner
Square, Hamilton Crossing, King's Lake Square, Market Street Village, Naperville
Marketplace, PEN Products, Publix at Acworth, Red Bank Commons, Ridge Plaza,
Shops at Eagle Creek, Traders Point II, Union Station Parking Garage, Wal-Mart
Plaza, and Waterford Lakes. As of September 30, 2009, the total
amount available for borrowing under the unsecured credit facility was
approximately $69.5 million.
Term
Loan
In 2008,
the Operating Partnership entered into a $30 million unsecured term loan
agreement (the “Term Loan”) arranged by KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., which
has an accordion feature that enables the Operating Partnership to increase the
loan amount up to a total of $60 million, subject to certain
conditions. The Operating
Partnership’s ability to borrow under the Term Loan is subject to ongoing
compliance by the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries with
various restrictive covenants, including those with respect to liens,
indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales. In
addition, the Term Loan requires that the Company satisfy certain financial
covenants.The Term Loan matures on July 15, 2011 and bears interest
at LIBOR plus 265 basis points. A significant portion of the initial
$30 million of proceeds from the Term Loan was used to pay down the
Company’s unsecured credit facility.
In August
2008, the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to the Term Loan,
which, among other things, increased the amount available for borrowing under the original term loan agreement by an additional
$25 million. This amount was subsequently drawn, resulting in an
aggregate amount outstanding under the Term Loan of
$55 million. The additional $25 million of proceeds of borrowings
under the Term Loan were used to pay down the Company’s unsecured
facility. In connection with
obtaining the Term Loan, in September 2008, the Company entered into a cash flow
hedge for the entire $55 million outstanding, which effectively fixed the
interest rate at 5.92%.
Fair
Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt
As of
September 30, 2009, the fair value of fixed rate debt was approximately $323.2
million compared to the book value of $313.4 million. The fair value was
estimated using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar
instruments which ranged from 3.13% to 5.94%. As of September 30, 2009, the fair
value of variable rate debt was approximately $342.8 million compared to the
book value of $345.7 million. The fair value was estimated using cash
flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged
from 4.50% to 6.50%.
Note
6. Shareholders’ Equity
On
September 15, 2009, the Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution
of $0.06 per common share for the third quarter of
2009. Simultaneously, the Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash
distribution of $0.06 per Operating Partnership unit for the same period.
These distributions were paid on October 16, 2009 to shareholders and
unitholders of record as of October 7, 2009.
In May 2009,
the Company completed an equity offering of 28,750,000 common shares at an
offering price of $3.20 per share for aggregate gross and net proceeds of $92.0
million and $87.5 million, respectively. Approximately $57 million of
the net proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the Company’s unsecured
revolving credit facility and the remainder was retained as cash.
In
February and March 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of
Trustees approved a long-term equity incentive compensation award of a total of
approximately 527,000 share options to management and other employees, the value
of which was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation
methodology. These share options were issued with exercise prices
ranging from $2.64 to $3.56 and will vest ratably over five years beginning on
the first anniversary date of the grant.
Note
7. Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Other Comprehensive
Income
The
Company is exposed to capital market risk, including changes in interest
rates. In order to manage volatility relating to variable interest
rate risk, the Company enters into interest rate hedging transactions from time
to time. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or
speculative purposes nor does the Company currently have any derivatives that
are not designated as cash flow hedges. The Company has agreements
with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision provided
that the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including a default
where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the
lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its
derivative obligations. As of
September 30, 2009, the Company was party to various consolidated cash flow
hedge agreements totaling $205 million, which effectively fix certain variable
rate debt at interest rates ranging from 4.40% to 6.32% and mature over various
terms through 2012.
The
valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation
techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of
each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the
derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based
inputs, including interest rate curves, implied volatilities, and the
creditworthiness of both the Company and the counterparty.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, an amendment to SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which was primarily codified into Topic 815
– “Derivatives and Hedging” in the ASC. The provision requires
enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and
thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. The Company
adopted it on January 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on
the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. In
addition, on January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements,” which was primarily codified into Topic 820 – “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures” in the ASC. This provision defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies to reported
balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under
existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require
any new fair value measurements of reported balances.
Fair
value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined
based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability. As a basis for considering market participant
assumptions in fair value measurements, the provision establishes a fair value
hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on
market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity
(observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy)
and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions
(unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
Level 1
inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that a company has the ability to access. Level 2
inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable
for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates
and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted
intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or
liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is
little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the
determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different
levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within
which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement in its
entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a
particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires
judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
To comply
with the provision, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to
appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective
counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In
adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of
nonperformance risk, the Company considers the impact of netting and any
applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual
puts, and guarantees.
Although
the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its
derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit
valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs,
such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of
default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of September
30, 2009, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit
valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and
has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the
overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company
has determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.
The only
assets or liabilities that the Company records at fair value on a recurring
basis are interest rate hedge agreements. The fair value of the
Company’s interest rate hedge liabilities as of September 30, 2009 was
approximately $8.0 million, including accrued interest of approximately $0.4
million, which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The
Company currently expects an increase to interest expense of approximately $6.1
million as the hedged forecasted interest payments occur. No hedge
ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges was recognized by the Company during any
period presented. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive
income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the
hedged items are recognized in earnings during the rest of 2009 and the first
nine months of 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008 approximately $1.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, was
reclassified as a reduction to earnings. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $4.7 million and $1.8 million,
respectively, was reclassified as a reduction to earnings.
The Company’s
share of net unrealized losses on its interest rate hedge agreements are the
only components of its accumulated comprehensive (loss) income
calculation. The following sets forth comprehensive (loss) income

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Eddy
Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame
Phase I
of Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame, located adjacent to the
University in South Bend, Indiana is one of the Company’s current major
development pipeline projects. This multi-phase project, when
completed, is expected to include retail, office, hotels, a parking garage,
apartments and residential units. The Company will own the retail and
office components while other components are expected to be owned by third
parties or through joint ventures. The City of South Bend has
contributed $35 million to the development, funded by tax increment financing
(TIF) bonds issued by the City and a cash commitment from the City, both of
which are being used for the construction of a parking garage and infrastructure
improvements to this project. The first retail tenants at this
development property opened for business in September 2009.
The
Company has jointly guaranteed the apartment developer’s construction loan,
which at September 30, 2009, has an outstanding balance of approximately $21.1
million. The Company also has a contractual obligation in the form of
a completion guarantee to the University of Notre Dame and to the City of South
Bend to complete all phases of the $200 million project (the Company’s portion
of which is approximately $64 million), with the exception of certain of the
residential units, consistent with commitments the Company typically makes in
connection with other bank-funded development projects. If the
Company is required to complete a portion of the residential components of the
project or perform under its guaranty obligations, it has the right to pursue
control of the related assets. The
Company is contractually obligated to both the University of Notre Dame and the
City of South Bend to complete the project. As long as the Company is
using its best efforts to do so, it has limited its liability to the City to a
maximum of $1 million.
Joint
Venture Indebtedness
Joint venture debt is the liability of
the joint venture under circumstances where the lender has limited recourse to
the Company. As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s share of
unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness was approximately $13.5 million, all
of which was related to the Parkside Town Commons development. As of
September 30, 2009, the Operating Partnership had guaranteed its share of the
balance in the event the joint venture partnership defaults under terms of the
underlying arrangement. Certain mortgages, which are guaranteed by
the Operating Partnership, are secured by the property and leases of the joint
venture, and the Operating Partnership has the right to attempt to sell the
property in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation.
During the third quarter of 2009, a
construction loan with a total commitment of $10.9 million was obtained for the
limited service hotel unconsolidated joint venture at the Eddy Street Commons
development in which we have a 50% interest. The variable rate loan
bears interest at the greater of LIBOR + 315 basis points or 4.00% and matures
in August 2014. As of September 30, 2009, no draws had been made on
this loan.
Other
Commitments and Contingencies
The
Company is not subject to any material litigation nor, to management’s
knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against the Company
other than routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings arising in
the ordinary course of business. Management believes that such
routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a
material adverse impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements.
As of
September 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $6.8
million, approximately $1.6 million of which all requirements have been
satisfied as of that date. At that date, there were no amounts
advanced against these instruments.
Note
10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,”
which was primarily codified into Topic 805 – “Business Combinations” in the
ASC. This provision requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the
excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. The provision
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company’s adoption of this guidance on
January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2,
“Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” which permitted a one-year
deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 with regard to nonfinancial
assets and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS
157 and the related FSPs were primarily codified into Topic 820 – “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures” in the ASC. On January 1, 2009,
the Company adopted the provisions related to nonfinancial assets and
liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on at least an annual basis, and the adoption did not have a material
impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining
Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities,” which was primarily codified into Topic 260 –
“Earnings Per Share” in the ASC. This provision states that unvested
share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or
dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and
shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the
two-class method. The adoption of this provision did not have a
material impact on reported earnings per share.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which requires (i) disclosure of the fair
value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value in interim period financial statements as well as in annual financial
statements, (ii) that the fair value information be presented together with the
related carrying amount of the asset or liability, and (iii) disclosure of the
methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value and changes,
if any, to the methods and significant assumptions used during the
period. This provision was primarily codified into Topic 820 – “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures” in the ASC. It is effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and requires additional disclosures
in interim periods which were previously only required in annual financial
statements. The Company adopted this provision in the second quarter
of 2009 and the required disclosure is presented in Note 5.
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which was primarily
codified into Topic 855 – “Subsequent Events” in the ASC. The
provision requires that an entity shall recognize in the financial statements
the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about
conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the
estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial
statements. An entity must also disclose but not record the effects
of subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that did not exist
at the balance sheet date. The standard
also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have
been evaluated (for public companies, the date the financial statements are
issued). The provision is effective for interim or annual financial
periods ending after June 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company adopted
it in the second quarter of 2009, and the adoption did not have a material
impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements. Refer to Note 11 for the Company’s disclosure of
subsequent events.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.
46(R),” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009
and introduces a more qualitative approach to evaluating VIEs for
consolidation. This provision was primarily codified into Topic 810 –
“Consolidation” in the ASC and requires a company to perform an analysis to
determine whether its variable interest gives it a controlling financial
interest in a VIE. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary
of a VIE as the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities of the
VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the
obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could
potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether it has
the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the
VIE’s performance, the provision requires a company to assess whether it has an
implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as
designed. It also requires continuous reassessment of primary
beneficiary status rather than periodic, event-driven assessments as previously
required, and incorporates expanded disclosure requirements. The
Company has not yet determined the impact that adoption of this provision will
have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note
11. Subsequent Events
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time that the financial
statements for the period ended September 30, 2009 were filed with the SEC in
the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on November 9, 2009.
In
October 2009, the Company repaid in full its $11.8 million fixed rate mortgage
loan on the Boulevard Crossing property prior to its December 2009
maturity. The debt was repaid using the Company’s available cash, and
the property was contributed to the unencumbered property pool for the unsecured
credit facility.
The
following discussion should be read in connection with the accompanying
historical financial statements and related notes thereto. In this
discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “our Company,”
“we,” “us” and “our” mean Kite Realty Group Trust and its
subsidiaries.
Overview
Our
Business and Properties
Kite
Realty Group Trust, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group,
L.P., is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition,
construction, expansion and development of neighborhood and community shopping
centers and certain commercial real estate properties in selected markets in the
United States. We derive revenues primarily from rents and
reimbursement payments received from tenants under existing leases at each of
our properties. We also derive revenues from providing management,
leasing, real estate development, construction and real estate advisory services
through our taxable REIT subsidiary. Our operating results therefore
depend materially on the ability of our tenants to make required rental
payments, our ability to provide such services to third parties, conditions in
the U.S. retail sector and overall real estate market conditions.
As of
September 30, 2009, we owned interests in 55 operating properties consisting of
51 retail properties totaling approximately 7.9 million square feet of gross
leasable area (including non-owned anchor space), three operating commercial
properties totaling approximately 0.5 million square feet of net rentable area,
and an associated parking garage. Also, as of September 30, 2009, we
had an interest in seven properties in our development and redevelopment
pipelines. Upon completion, we anticipate our current development and
redevelopment properties to have approximately 1.1 million square feet of total
gross leasable area.
In
addition to our current development and redevelopment pipelines, we have a
“shadow” development pipeline which includes land parcels that are undergoing
pre-development activity and are in various stages of preparation for
construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and negotiations for
third party financings. As of September 30, 2009, this shadow
pipeline consisted of six projects that are expected to contain approximately
2.8 million square feet of total gross leasable area upon
completion.
Finally,
as of September 30, 2009, we also owned interests in other land parcels
comprising approximately 95 acres that we currently plan to use for future
expansion of existing properties, development of new retail or commercial
properties or for sale to third parties. These land parcels
are classified as “Land held for development” in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet.
In the
third quarter of 2009, as part of our regular quarterly review, we determined
that it was appropriate to write off the net book value on the Galleria Plaza
operating property in Dallas Texas and recognize a non-cash impairment charge of
$5.4 million. Our estimated future cash flows, which considers recent
negative property-specific events, are anticipated to be insufficient to cover
costs due to significant ground lease obligations and expected future required
capital expenditures. The Company leases the ground on which the
property is situated and currently intends to turn over the operations of and
convey the title to the center to the ground lessor which will increase the
Company’s annual cash flows by approximately $700,000. The non-cash
impairment has no effect on the Company’s liquidity and there is no mortgage on
the property.
Current
Economic Conditions and Impact on Our Retail Tenants
Our
business continues to feel the effects of the extended turmoil in the U.S credit
markets and the overall continued softening of the economic
environment. We expect these difficult conditions to continue to
significantly restrict consumer spending through the remainder of 2009 and into
2010.
Factors
contributing to consumers spending less at stores owned and/or operated by our
retail tenants include, among others:
·
|
Shortage of
Financing. Lending institutions continue to have
historically tight credit standards, making it significantly more
difficult for individuals and companies to obtain
financing. The shortage of financing has caused, among other
things, consumers to have less disposable income available for retail
spending and has made it more difficult for businesses to grow and
expand.
|
·
|
Decreased Home Values and
Increased Home Foreclosures. U.S. home values have
decreased sharply, and difficult economic conditions have also contributed
to a record number of home foreclosures. The historically high
level of delinquencies and foreclosures, particularly among sub-prime
mortgage borrowers, may continue into the foreseeable
future.
|
·
|
Rising Unemployment
Rates. The U.S. unemployment rate continues to rise
dramatically. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by
the end of the third quarter of 2009, approximately 15.1 million, or 9.8%,
of Americans were unemployed. Rising unemployment rates could
result in further contraction of consumer spending, thereby negatively
affecting the businesses of our retail
tenants.
|
·
|
Decreasing Consumer
Confidence. Consumer confidence is at its lowest level
in decades, leading to a decline in spending on discretionary
purchases. In addition, the significant increase in personal
and business bankruptcies reflects an economy in distress, with
financially over-extended consumers less likely to purchase goods and/or
services from our retail tenants.
|
As
discussed below, these conditions damage the businesses of our retail tenants
and in turn have a negative impact on our business. To the extent
these conditions persist or deteriorate further, our tenants may be required to
curtail or cease their operations, which could materially and negatively affect
our business in general and our cash flows in particular.
Impact
of Economy on REITs, Including Us
As an
owner and developer of community and neighborhood shopping centers, our
operating and financial performance is directly affected by economic conditions
in the retail sector of those markets in which our operating centers and
development properties are located. As discussed above, due to the
challenges facing U.S. consumers, the operations of our retail tenants are being
negatively affected. In turn, this is having a negative impact on our
business, including in the following ways:
·
|
Difficulty In Collecting Rent;
Rent Adjustments. When consumers spend less, our tenants
typically experience decreased revenues and cash flows. This
makes it more difficult for some of our tenants to pay their rent
obligations, which is the primary source of our revenues. A
number of tenants have requested decreases or deferrals in their rent
obligation during the first nine months of 2009. We have
granted some of these requests to assist our tenants through the current
economic difficulties, which will negatively affect our cash flows in the
short-term. In addition, we have increased our allowance for
doubtful accounts as we anticipate having more difficulty in collecting
current and future rent
receivables.
|
·
|
Termination of
Leases. If our tenants continue to struggle to meet
their rental obligations, they may be forced to vacate their stores and
terminate their leases with us. During 2009, several tenants
vacated their stores, and in some cases, terminated their leases with
us. It has become increasingly more difficult to negotiate
lease termination fees from these terminating
tenants.
|
·
|
Tenant
Bankruptcies. The trend of bankruptcy filings by U.S.
businesses has continued during 2009 and may continue into the foreseeable
future. Bankruptcy declarations by our retail tenants has
abated somewhat after increasing sharply in 2008 and in the first six
months of 2009.
|
·
|
Decrease in Demand for Retail
Space. Reflecting the extremely difficult current market
conditions, demand for retail space at our shopping centers decreased in
late 2008 while availability increased due to tenant terminations and
bankruptcies. The excess capacity generated by big box tenant
bankruptcies has led to increased competition to lease these spaces and
downward pressure on rental rates. While we have experienced
increased leasing activity in recent months, overall tenancy at our
shopping centers remains slightly lower than a year ago. As of
September 30, 2009, our retail operating portfolio was approximately 91%
leased and level with the leased percentage as of the end of the prior
quarter.
|
·
|
Decrease in Third Party
Construction Activity. As a reflection of the various
economic and other factors previously discussed, we have experienced a
significant decline in our third party construction activity during 2008
and the first nine months of 2009, which had a negative impact on the
revenues of our development, construction and advisory services
segment. We anticipate that general economic conditions will
likely result in lower levels of third party construction activity for the
remainder of 2009 and beyond.
|
The
factors discussed above, among others, continued to have a negative impact on
our business in the third quarter of 2009. We expect that these
conditions will continue into the foreseeable future.
Financing
Strategy
As part
of our overall financing and capital strategy to maintain a strong balance sheet
with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and development activities in
a cost-effective way, we engaged in a number of financing activities in the
third quarter of 2009. In August, the $8.2 million loan on our
Bridgewater Crossing property was refinanced with a $7.0 million loan bearing
interest at LIBOR plus 185 basis points and maturing in June 2013. We
funded a $1.2 million paydown of this loan with cash. In September,
the $15.8 million fixed rate mortgage loan on our Ridge Plaza property was
retired prior to its October 2009 maturity using available
cash.
In
addition, subsequent to the end of the third quarter, in October we repaid in
full our $11.8 million fixed rate mortgage loan on our Boulevard Crossing
property prior to its December 2009 maturity, and, as a result, the only
remaining 2009 debt maturities relate to scheduled monthly principal
payments.
As of
September 30, 2009, approximately $90.2 million of our consolidated indebtedness
was scheduled to mature in 2010, including scheduled monthly principal
payments. We continue to seek to refinance or extend the majority of
these maturities on satisfactory terms. We believe we have good
relationships with a number of banks and other financial institutions that will
allow us an opportunity to refinance these borrowings with the existing lenders
or replacement lenders. While we can give no assurance, due to the
current status of negotiations with existing and alternative lenders, we believe
we will have the ability to extend, refinance, or repay all of our debt that is
maturing through 2010. To the extent necessary, we may also utilize
the availability on our unsecured revolving credit facility, pursuant to which
we had approximately $69.5 million of availability as of September 30, 2009, or
available cash. We continue to seek alternative sources of financing
and other capital in the event we are not able to refinance our 2010 maturities
on satisfactory terms, or at all.
Obtaining
new financing is also important to our business due to the capital needs of our
existing development and redevelopment projects. The properties in
our development and redevelopment pipelines, which are primary drivers for our
near-term growth, will require a substantial amount of capital to
complete. As of September 30, 2009, our unfunded share of the total
estimated cost of the properties in our current development and redevelopment
pipelines was approximately $23 million. While we believe we will
have access to sufficient resources to be able to fund our investments in these
projects through a combination of our $32.6 million in available cash and cash
equivalents, new and existing construction loans and draws on our unsecured
credit facility, a prolonged credit crisis will make it more costly and
difficult to raise additional capital, if necessary.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
critical accounting policies as discussed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K
have not materially changed during 2009. See Notes 2 and 10 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this report for a
summary of significant accounting policies and recent accounting
pronouncements.
Results
of Operations
At
September 30, 2009, we owned interests in 55 operating properties (consisting of
51 retail properties, three operating commercial properties and an associated
parking garage) and seven entities that held interests in development or
redevelopment properties.
At
September 30, 2008, we owned interests in 57 operating properties (consisting of
52 retail properties, four operating commercial properties and an associated
parking garage) and 10 entities that held interests in development or
redevelopment properties.
The
comparability of results of operations is significantly affected by our
development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition
activities in 2008 and 2009. Therefore, we believe it is most useful
to review the comparisons of our 2008 and 2009 results of operations (as set
forth below under “Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended
September 30, 2009 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008” and “Comparison of
Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 to the Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2008”) in conjunction with the discussion of our
significant development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and
disposition activities during those periods, which is set forth directly
below.

Property
Acquisition Activities
In
February 2008, we purchased Rivers Edge, a 110,875 square foot shopping center
located in Indianapolis, Indiana, for $18.3 million. This property
was purchased with the intent to redevelop; therefore, it is included in our
redevelopment pipeline, as shown in the “Redevelopment Activities” table below.
However, for purposes of the comparison of operating results, this property is
classified as an acquired property during 2008 in the comparison of operating
results for the “Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended

Excluding
the changes due to transitioned development properties and the properties under
redevelopment, the net $1.9 million decrease in rental income was primarily due
to a $0.5 million decrease due to termination of big box tenants at three of our
properties and $0.4 million from lower occupancy of small shop tenants at
several other properties, a $0.4 million decrease due to the 2008 write-off to
income of in-place lease liabilities at one of our properties, $0.2 million in
rental income due to the second quarter 2009 sale of an outlot subject to a
ground lease, and $0.4 million from lower recoveries due to real estate tax
reductions at several of our operating properties.
Other
property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, overage rent,
lease termination income and gains on land parcel sales. This revenue decreased
approximately $2.6 million, or 69%, as a result of a decrease of $2.5 million in
gains on land parcel sales and a $0.1 million decrease in lease termination
income.
Construction
revenue and service fees decreased approximately $4.7 million, or 64%, primarily
as a result of a decline in third party construction contracts and construction
management fees due to the economic downturn and our decision to reduce our
third party construction activity.
Property
operating expenses increased approximately $0.3 million, or 8%, due to the

due to the effects of 2009 reassessments, especially in the state of Indiana,
partially offset by the effects of appeals and reassessments recorded in
2008.
Cost of
construction and services decreased approximately $3.8 million, or 61%,
primarily as a result of a decline in third party construction contracts and
construction management fees due to the economic downturn and our decision to

Excluding
the changes due to transitioned development properties and the properties under
redevelopment, the net $0.4 million decrease in depreciation and amortization
expense was primarily due to a higher level of accelerated depreciation and
amortization of vacated tenant costs at several of our operating properties in
2008 as compared to 2009.
The $5.4
million non-cash loss on impairment of a real estate asset in 2009 relates to
the write-off of the net book value of our Galleria Plaza
property. Our estimated future cash flows, which consider recent
negative property-specific events, are anticipated to be insufficient to cover
costs due to significant ground lease obligations and expected future required
capital expenditures.
Interest
expense decreased $0.7 million, or 9%, primarily due to a 270 basis point
reduction in the average LIBOR interest rate.
Income
tax benefit (expense) decreased $0.2 million primarily due to lower construction
volume in our taxable REIT subsidiary.
The $1.6
million non-cash gain from consolidation of subsidiary in 2009 was recognized
upon the consolidation of The Centre joint venture. In the third
quarter of 2009, we paid off the third party loan on this previously
unconsolidated entity and contributed approximately $2.1 million of capital to
the entity. In accordance with the provisions of Topic 810 –
“Consolidation” of the ASC, the financial statements of The Centre were
consolidated as of September 30, 2009 and its assets and liabilities were
recorded at fair value with a resulting non-cash gain of $1.6
million.

big box tenants at three of our properties, $0.5 million from lower occupancy of
small shop tenants at several other properties, a $0.4 million decrease due to
the 2008 write off of in-place lease liabilities to income at one of our

in real estate taxes was primarily attributable to the timing of reassessments
and the settlement of appeals in 2009 and 2008. Specifically, in the
third quarter of 2009, we experienced a decrease in real estate taxes from a
reduction in rate at two of our commercial properties, a small portion of which
is refundable to tenants.

the retirement of variable rate debt at several of our properties, the pay down
of our unsecured revolving credit facility with proceeds from our common share
offering, and a lower average LIBOR.
Income
tax benefit (expense) decreased $1.6 million primarily due to income taxes
incurred by our taxable REIT subsidiary associated with the gain on the sale of
land in 2008.
The $1.6
million non-cash gain on consolidation of subsidiary in 2009 was recognized upon
the consolidation of The Centre joint venture. In the third quarter
of 2009, we paid off the third party loan on this previously unconsolidated
entity and contributed approximately $2.1 million of capital to the
entity. In accordance with the provisions of Topic 810 –
“Consolidation” of the ASC, the financial statements of The Centre were
consolidated as of September 30, 2009 and its assets and liabilities were
recorded at fair value with a resulting non-cash gain of $1.6
million.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Current
State of Capital Markets and Our Financing Strategy
Our
primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with
sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and development activities in a
cost-effective way. We consider a number of factors when evaluating
our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional
borrowings, including the purchase price of properties to be developed or
acquired with debt financing, the estimated market value of our properties and
our Company as a whole upon consummation of the refinancing and the ability of
particular properties to generate cash flow to cover expected debt
service. As discussed in more detail above in “Overview”, the
challenging market conditions that currently exist have created a need for most
REITs, including us, to place a significant amount of emphasis on financing and
capital strategies.
We
engaged in a number of financing activities in the third quarter of
2009. In August, the $8.2 million loan on our Bridgewater Crossing
property was refinanced with a $7.0 million loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus
185 basis points and maturing in June 2013. We funded a $1.2 million
paydown of this loan with cash. In September, the $15.8 million fixed
rate mortgage loan on our Ridge Plaza property was retired using available cash
prior to its October 2009 maturity. As of September 30, 2009,
approximately $69.5 million was available to be drawn under our unsecured
revolving credit facility and $32.6 million was in available cash and cash
equivalents.
In
addition, subsequent to the end of the third quarter, in October we repaid in
full our $11.8 million fixed rate mortgage loan on our Boulevard Crossing
property prior to its December 2009 maturity. The debt was repaid
using our available cash, and the property was contributed to the unencumbered
property pool for the unsecured facility. As a result of this payoff,
the only remaining 2009 debt maturities relate to scheduled monthly principal
payments.
We
continue to conduct negotiations with our existing and alternative lenders to
refinance or obtain extensions on our 2010 maturities, which totaled
approximately $90.2 million as of September 30, 2009, including scheduled
monthly principal payments. While we can give no assurance, due to the
current status of negotiations for our near-term maturing indebtedness, we
currently believe we will have the ability to extend, refinance, or repay all of
our debt that is maturing through the end of 2010.
In the
future, we may raise additional capital by disposing of properties and land
parcels that are no longer a core component of our growth strategy and/or
pursuing joint venture capital partners. We will also continue to
monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through
the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other
securities.
As of
September 30, 2009, we had available cash and cash equivalents on hand of $32.6
million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regards to our
cash and cash equivalents. We place our cash and temporary cash
investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions. From time to
time, such investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance
limits; however, we attempt to limit our exposure at any one time. As
of September 30, 2009, the majority of our cash and cash equivalents were held
in demand deposit accounts that are 100% insured under the federal government’s
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
In addition to cash generated from
operations, we discuss below our other principal capital resources.
Our
Principal Capital Resources
Our Unsecured Revolving
Credit Facility
In
February 2007, our Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated
four-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of
lenders and Key Bank National Association, as agent (the “unsecured
facility”). As of September 30, 2009, our outstanding indebtedness
under the unsecured facility was approximately $77.8 million, bearing interest
at a current rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points. Including the
effects of our hedge agreements, at September 30, 2009, the weighted average
interest rate on our unsecured revolving credit facility was approximately
6.27%.
The
amount that we may borrow under the unsecured facility is based on the value of
assets in the unencumbered property pool. As of September 30, 2009,
we have 52 unencumbered properties and other assets used to calculate the value
of the unencumbered property pool, of which 49 are wholly owned and three of
which are owned through joint ventures. The major unencumbered assets
include: Broadstone Station, Courthouse Shadows, Four Corner Square, Hamilton
Crossing, King's Lake Square, Market Street Village, Naperville Marketplace, PEN
Products, Publix at Acworth, Red Bank Commons, Ridge Plaza, Shops at Eagle
Creek, Traders Point II, Union Station Parking Garage, Wal-Mart Plaza, and
Waterford Lakes. As of September 30, 2009 the amount available to us
for future draws under this facility was approximately $69.5
million.
We and
several of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries are guarantors of the
Operating Partnership’s obligations under the unsecured facility. The
unsecured facility has a maturity date of February 20, 2011, with an option for
a one-year extension (subject to certain customary
conditions). Borrowings under the unsecured facility bear interest at
a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 115 to 135 basis points, depending on our
leverage ratio. The unsecured facility has a commitment fee ranging
from 0.125% to 0.20% that is applicable to the average daily unused
amount. Subject to certain conditions, including the prior consent of
the lenders, we have the option to increase our borrowings under the unsecured
facility to a maximum of $400 million if there are sufficient
unencumbered assets to support the additional borrowings. As
discussed in more detail below under “Debt Maturities”, we may seek to increase
the unencumbered asset pool related to the facility in order to increase our
borrowing capacity. The unsecured facility also includes a short-term
borrowing line of $25 million with a variable interest
rate. Borrowings under the short-term line may not be outstanding for
more than five days.
Our
ability to borrow under the unsecured facility is subject to ongoing compliance
with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens,
indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales. In
addition, the unsecured facility requires us to satisfy certain financial
covenants, including:
·
|
a
maximum leverage ratio of 65% (or up to 70% in certain
circumstances);
|
·
|
Adjusted
EBITDA (as defined in the unsecured facility) to fixed charges coverage
ratio of at least 1.50 to 1;
|
·
|
minimum
tangible net worth (defined as Total Asset Value less Total Indebtedness)
of $300 million (plus 75% of the net proceeds of any equity issuances from
the date of the agreement);
|
·
|
ratio
of net operating income of unencumbered property to debt service under the
unsecured facility of at least 1.50 to
1;
|
·
|
minimum
unencumbered property pool occupancy rate of
80%;
|
·
|
ratio
of variable rate indebtedness to total asset value of no more than 0.35 to
1; and
|
·
|
ratio
of recourse indebtedness to total asset value of no more than 0.30 to
1.
|
We were
in compliance with all applicable covenants under the unsecured facility as of
September 30, 2009.
Under the
terms of the unsecured facility, we are permitted to make distributions to our
shareholders of up to 95% of our funds from operations provided that no event of
default exists. If an event of default exists, we may only make
distributions sufficient to maintain our REIT status. However, we may
not make any distributions if an event of default resulting from nonpayment or
bankruptcy exists, or if our obligations under the credit facility are
accelerated.
Capital
Markets
We have
filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
allowing us to offer, from time to time, common shares or preferred shares for
an aggregate initial public offering price of up to $500 million, of which $408
million remains available as of September 30, 2009. In May 2009, we
completed an equity offering of 28,750,000 common shares at an offering price of
$3.20 per share for aggregate gross and net proceeds of $92.0 million and $87.5
million, respectively. Approximately $57 million of the net proceeds
were used to repay borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility and
the remainder was retained as cash, which we anticipate using to address future
debt maturities and capital needs.
We will
continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional
capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other
securities, although we cannot guarantee that we will be able to access the
capital markets on favorable terms, if at all.
Short
and Long-Term Liquidity Needs
We derive
the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our
properties. Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations
is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our
tenants. While we believe that the nature of the properties in which
we typically invest—primarily neighborhood and community shopping
centers—provides a relatively stable revenue flow in uncertain economic times,
the current general economic downturn is adversely affecting the ability of some
of our tenants to meet their lease obligations, as discussed in more detail
above in “Overview”. In turn, these
conditions are having a negative impact on our business. If the
downturn is prolonged, our cash flow from operations could be materially
adversely affected.
Short-Term Liquidity
Needs
To avoid
paying tax on our income and to meet the requirements for qualifying for REIT
status (which include the stipulation that we distribute to shareholders at
least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income), we distribute a substantial
majority of our taxable income on an annual basis. This fact, coupled
with the nature of our business, causes us to have substantial liquidity needs
over both the short-term and the long-term. Our short-term liquidity
needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated
with our operating properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments
on our debt, expected dividend payments (including distributions to persons who
hold units in our Operating Partnership) and recurring capital
expenditures. Each quarter we discuss with our Board of Trustees (the
“Board”) our liquidity requirements along with other relevant factors before the
Board decides whether and in what amount to declare a
distribution. In September 2009, our Board declared a quarterly cash
distribution of $0.06 per common share for the quarter ending September 30,
2009. Our distributions for the last two quarters were lower than the
distributions paid in the prior year, thereby allowing us to conserve additional
liquidity. The Board of Trustees is continuing to evaluate current
economic and market conditions and anticipates declaring a quarterly cash
distribution for the quarter ending December 31, 2009 later in the fourth
quarter.
When we
lease space to new tenants, or renew leases for existing tenants, we also incur
expenditures for tenant improvements and external leasing
commissions. These amounts, as well as the level of recurring capital
improvement expenditures, will vary from year to year. During the
three months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred approximately $0.4 million of
costs for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties and
approximately $0.5 million of costs for tenant improvements and external leasing
commissions. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $4-5
million in additional tenant improvements, renovation and expansion costs within
the next twelve months for two recently executed anchor tenant
leases. We are also in lease negotiations with big box and shop
tenants that could require the expenditure of tenant improvement, renovation and
expansion dollars. We anticipate these expenditures will be
funded through draws on the unsecured credit facility.
We expect
to meet our short-term liquidity needs through cash and cash equivalents,
borrowings under the unsecured facility, new construction or mortgage loans,
cash generated from operations and, to the extent necessary, accessing the
public equity and debt markets to the extent that we are able.

In
October, we repaid in full our $11.8 million fixed rate mortgage loan on
the Boulevard Crossing property prior to its December 2009 maturity, and,
as a result, the only remaining 2009 debt maturities relate to scheduled
monthly principal payments.

Our
unsecured revolving credit facility, of which $77.8 million was
outstanding as of September 30, 2009, has an extension option to 2012
subject to certain customary
provisions.
|
As of
September 30, 2009, approximately $90.2 million of our consolidated indebtedness
was scheduled to mature in 2010, including scheduled monthly principal
payments. We are in
the process of negotiating extensions with the current lender on these loans
with the exception of the loan on our Tarpon Springs Plaza property, which we
currently anticipate retiring with proceeds from a permanent loan on the Ridge
Plaza operating property.
Long-Term Liquidity
Needs
Our
long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for
maturing indebtedness, the development of new properties, redevelopment of
existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, and potential
acquisitions of properties.
Maturing
Indebtedness. We anticipate addressing our maturing
construction and mortgage loans, as well as our term loan and unsecured
revolving credit facility, through extensions or refinancings with the current
lenders, seeking financing from replacement lenders, or utilizing our available
cash and capacity on our unsecured facility.
Redevelopment
Properties. As of September 30, 2009, five of our properties
(Bolton Plaza, Rivers Edge, Courthouse Shadows, Four Corner Square, and Coral
Springs Plaza) were undergoing redevelopment activities. We
anticipate our investment in these redevelopment projects will be a total of
approximately $11.5 million, which we currently intend to fund through
borrowings on our unsecured facility. We are currently in
negotiations with potential anchor tenants for three of the five
projects. Each of these tenants will enhance the projects and provide
additional clarity on the scope and cost of each redevelopment.
Development
Properties. As of September 30, 2009, we had two development
projects in our current development pipeline. The total estimated
cost, including our share and our joint venture partners’ share, for these
projects is approximately $82 million, of which approximately $68 million had
been incurred as of September 30, 2009. Our share of the total
estimated cost of these projects is approximately $59 million, of which we have
incurred approximately $46 million as of September 30, 2009. We
believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects
and expect to do so primarily through existing construction loans. In
addition, if necessary, we may make draws on our unsecured facility to the
extent the facility is available.
“Shadow” Development Pipeline.
In addition to our current development pipeline, we have a “shadow”
development pipeline which includes land parcels that are in various stages of
preparation for construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and
negotiations for third party financing. As of September 30, 2009,
this shadow pipeline consisted of six projects that are expected to contain
approximately 2.8 million square feet of total leasable area. We
currently anticipate the total estimated cost of these six projects will be
approximately $304 million, of which our share is currently expected to be
approximately $140 million. However, we are generally not
contractually obligated to complete any developments in our shadow pipeline, as
these projects consist of land parcels on which we have not yet commenced
construction. With respect to each asset in the shadow pipeline, our
policy is to not commence vertical construction until pre-established leasing
thresholds are achieved and the requisite third-party financing is in
place. Once these projects are transferred to the current development
pipeline, we intend to fund our investment in these developments primarily
through new construction loans and joint ventures, as well as borrowings on our
unsecured facility, if necessary.
Selective Acquisitions, Developments
and Joint Ventures. We may selectively pursue the acquisition
and development of other properties, which would require additional
capital. It is unlikely we would have sufficient funds on hand to
meet these long-term capital requirements. We would have to satisfy
these needs through participation in joint venture arrangements, additional
borrowings, sales of common or preferred shares and/or cash generated through
property or other asset dispositions. We cannot be certain that we would
have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if at all, to
fund our long-term liquidity requirements. Our ability to access the
capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general
capital market conditions, which are discussed in more detail above in
“Overview”.
We have
entered into an agreement (the “Venture”) with Prudential Real Estate Investors
(“PREI”) to pursue joint venture opportunities for the development and selected
acquisition of community shopping centers in the United States. The
agreement allows for the Venture to develop or acquire up to $1.25 billion of
well-positioned community shopping centers in strategic markets in the United
States. Under the terms of the agreement, we have agreed to present to PREI
opportunities to develop or acquire community shopping centers, each with
estimated project costs in excess of $50 million. We have the option to
present to PREI additional opportunities with estimated project costs under $50
million. The agreement allows for equity capital contributions of up
to $500 million to be made to the Venture for qualifying projects. We
expect contributions would be made on a project-by-project basis with PREI
contributing 80% and us contributing 20% of the equity required. Our
first project with PREI is Parkside Town Commons, which is currently in our
shadow development pipeline.
Cash
Flows
Comparison
of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 to the Nine Months Ended September
30, 2008
Cash
provided by operating activities was $14.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, a decrease of $16.6 million from the first nine months of
2008. The decrease in cash provided by operations was largely the
result of the change in accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and
other liabilities between periods of approximately $8.1 million and the change
in other property-related revenue, primarily consisting of land sales, of
approximately $7.4 million.
Cash used
in investing activities was $42.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2009, a decrease of $55.5 million compared to the first nine months of
2008. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily
a result of a decrease of $70.8 million in property acquisitions and capital
expenditures in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the first nine months
of 2008, which was partially offset by an increase of $10.8 million in
contributions to unconsolidated entities and a change in construction payables
of approximately $2.1 million.
Cash
provided by financing activities was $50.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, a decrease of $8.8 million compared to the first nine months
of 2008. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities is
largely due to a decrease of $101.0 million in loan proceeds in the first nine
months of 2009 compared to the first nine months of 2008, partially offset by
the $87.5 million net proceeds from the common share offering in May
2009.
Funds
From Operations
Funds
From Operations (“FFO”), is a widely used performance measure for real estate
companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating
performance. We calculate FFO in accordance with the best practices
described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which we refer to as the
White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (computed in
accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated
property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Given the
nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO
is helpful to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational
performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not
relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains (or
losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization,
which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more
difficult. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net
income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial
performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not
indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability
to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable
to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with
the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definitions
differently than we do.
The
following table reconciles our consolidated net income to FFO for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (unaudited):

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have any
off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a
material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources. We do, however, have
certain obligations to some of the projects in our current development pipeline,
including our obligations in connection with our Eddy Street Commons
development, as discussed below in “Contractual Obligations”, as well as our
joint venture with PREI with respect to our Parkside Town Commons development,
as discussed above. As of September 30, 2009, we owned a 40% interest
in this joint venture which, under the terms of this joint venture, will be
reduced to 20% upon project specific construction financing.
As of
September 30, 2009, the seven joint ventures in which the Company had an
investment had total debt of approximately $102.6 million. Of this
amount, $13.5 million was unconsolidated and related to the Parkside Town
Commons development. Unconsolidated joint venture debt is the
liability of the joint venture and is typically secured by the assets of the
joint venture. As of September 30, 2009, the Operating Partnership
had guaranteed its share of the unconsolidated joint venture debt of $13.5
million in the event the joint venture partnership defaults under the terms of
the underlying arrangement. Mortgages which are guaranteed by the
Operating Partnership are secured by the property of the joint venture and that
property could be sold in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation.
During the
third quarter of 2009, a construction loan with a total commitment of $10.9
million was obtained for the limited service hotel unconsolidated joint venture
at the Eddy Street Commons development in which we have a 50%
interest. The variable rate loan bears interest at the greater of
LIBOR + 315 basis points or 4.00% and matures in August 2014. As of
September 30, 2009, no draws had been made on this loan.
Contractual
Obligations
Obligations
in Connection with Our Current Development, Redevelopment and Shadow
Pipeline
We are
obligated under various contractual arrangements to complete the projects in our
current development pipeline. We currently anticipate our share of
the cost of the two projects in our current development pipeline will be
approximately $59 million (including $35 million of costs associated with Phase
I of our Eddy Street Commons development discussed below), of which
approximately $13 million of our share was unfunded as of September 30,
2009. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to
fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through existing construction
loans. In addition, if necessary, we may make draws on our unsecured
credit facility to the extent the facility is available.
In
addition to our current development pipeline, we also have a redevelopment
pipeline and a “shadow” development pipeline, which includes land parcels that
are undergoing pre-development activity and are in various stages of preparation
for construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and negotiations
for third party financing. Generally, we are not contractually
obligated to complete any projects in our redevelopment or shadow
pipelines. With respect to each asset in the shadow pipeline, our
policy is to not commence vertical construction until appropriate pre-leasing
thresholds are met and the requisite third-party financing is in
place.
Eddy Street Commons at the
University of Notre Dame
Phase I
of Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame, located adjacent to the
University in South Bend, Indiana is one of our current development pipeline
projects. This multi-phase project is expected to include retail,
office, hotels, a parking garage, apartments and residential
units. We will own the retail and office components while other
components are expected to be owned by third parties or through joint
ventures. The City of South Bend has contributed $35 million to the
development, funded by tax increment financing (TIF) bonds issued by the City
and a cash commitment from the City, both of which are being used for the
construction of a parking garage and infrastructure improvements to this
project. The first retail tenants at this development property opened
for business in September 2009.
We have
jointly guaranteed the apartment developer’s construction loan, which at
September 30, 2009, has an outstanding balance of approximately $21.1
million. We also have a contractual obligation in the form of a
completion guarantee to the University of Notre Dame and to the City of South
Bend to complete all phases of the $200 million project (our portion of which is
approximately $64 million), with the exception of certain of the residential
units. If we are required to complete a portion of the residential
components of the project or perform under our guaranty obligations, we have the
right to pursue control of the related assets. If we fail to fulfill
our contractual obligations in connection with the project, but are using our
best efforts to do so, we may be held liable to the University of Notre Dame and
the City of South Bend but we have limited our liability to both of these
entities.
Market Risk
Related to Fixed and Variable Rate Debt
Market
risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in interest rates of debt
instruments of similar maturities and terms. We had approximately
$660.2 million of outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of September 30, 2009
(inclusive of net premiums on acquired debt of $1.1 million). As of
September 30, 2009, we were party to various consolidated interest rate hedge
agreements for a total of $205 million, with interest rates ranging from 4.40%
to 6.32% and maturities over various terms through 2012. Including
the effects of these swaps, our fixed and variable rate debt would have been
approximately $518.3 million (79%) and $140.8 million (21%), respectively, of
our total consolidated indebtedness at September 30, 2009. Including
our share of unconsolidated debt and the effect of these swaps, our fixed and
variable rate debt was 77% and 23%, respectively, of total consolidated and our
share of unconsolidated indebtedness at September 30, 2009.
The fair
value of our fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2009 was $323.2
million. Based on the amount of fixed rate debt outstanding at
September 30, 2009, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would
result in a decrease in its fair value of approximately $13.2
million. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would
result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed rate debt of approximately
$14.1 million. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates on our
variable rate debt as of September 30, 2009 would decrease our annual cash flow
by approximately $1.4 million. A 100 basis point decrease in interest
rates on our variable rate debt as of September 30, 2009 would increase our
annual cash flow by approximately $1.4 million.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An
evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures
were effective.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation
required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2009
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
The
Company is party to various actions representing routine litigation and
administrative proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. None
of these actions are expected to have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows taken as a
whole.
