NATIONAL RETAIL PROPERTIES, INC.

and SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2010

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Organization and Nature of Business – National Retail Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed in 1984. The term “NNN” or the “Company” refers to National Retail Properties, Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries. NNN has elected to treat certain subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries. These taxable subsidiaries and their majority owned and controlled subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “TRS.”

NNN’s operations are divided into two primary business segments: (i) investment assets, including real estate assets, mortgages and notes receivable and commercial mortgage residual interests (collectively, “Investment Assets”), and (ii) inventory real estate assets (“Inventory Assets”). NNN acquires, owns, invests in, and develops properties that are leased primarily to retail tenants under long-term net leases and primarily held for investment (“Investment Properties” or “Investment Portfolio”). NNN’s Investment Portfolio consisted of the following:

 

     September 30, 2010  

Investment Portfolio:

  

Total properties (including retail operations)

     1,037   

Gross leasable area (square feet)

     11,741,000   

States

     43   

The Inventory Assets typically represent direct and indirect investment interests in real estate assets acquired or developed primarily for the purpose of selling the real estate (“Inventory Properties” or “Inventory Portfolio”). NNN owned 17 Inventory Properties at September 30, 2010.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. Amounts as of December 31, 2009, included in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included herein, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in NNN’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Principles of Consolidation – NNN’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of each of the respective majority owned and controlled affiliates, including transactions whereby NNN has been determined to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance included in Consolidation. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Investment in an Unconsolidated Affiliate – NNN accounts for its investment in an unconsolidated affiliate under the equity method of accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – NNN considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market accounts. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

Cash accounts maintained on behalf of NNN in demand deposits at commercial banks and money market funds may exceed federally insured levels; however, NNN has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Valuation of Receivables – NNN estimates the collectability of its accounts receivable related to rents, expense reimbursements and other revenues. NNN analyzes accounts receivable, historical bad debt levels, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Other Comprehensive Income – The components for the change in other comprehensive income consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Earnings Per Share – Earnings per share have been computed pursuant to the FASB guidance included in Earnings Per Share. Effective January 1, 2009, the guidance requires classification of the Company’s unvested restricted share units which contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends, as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

The potential dilutive shares related to convertible notes payable were not included in computing earnings per common share because their effects would be antidilutive.

Fair Value Measurement – NNN’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

 

   

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Business Combination Retrospective Adjustment – In connection with the default in June 2009 by one of NNN’s tenants under a note receivable and certain lease agreements with NNN, NNN acquired the operations of the tenant’s 12 auto service businesses which were operated on the respective Investment Properties. A preliminary fair value of the assets acquired was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, a final valuation of the assets was completed and recorded by NNN. This adjustment was applied retrospectively and resulted in the following non-cash adjustment to the amounts and per share amounts as originally reported in NNN’s Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and as restated or adjusted in this Form 10-Q.

New Accounting Pronouncements – In June 2009, FASB issued guidance on the accounting for the transfers of financial assets. The new guidance eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on NNN’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, FASB issued revised guidance on the accounting for variable interest entities. The revised guidance reflects the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity. The guidance also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation of the previous guidance for determining which company, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach that is primarily qualitative. The new guidance requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity as well as additional disclosures. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on NNN’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2009, FASB issued new guidance for the accounting for the fair value measurement of liabilities. The new guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the approved techniques. The new guidance clarifies that

 

11


Table of Contents

both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on NNN’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update requires new disclosures for transfer in and out of Level 1 and 2, as well as disclosure about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for Level 1 and 2. In addition, activity in Level 3 should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis (rather than as one net number). A reporting entity should provide fair value measurements disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. NNN is currently evaluating the provisions to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Subsequent Events, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. An entity that is a filer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC requirements. The scope of the reissuance disclosure requirements is refined to include revised financial statements only. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised either as a result of correction of an error or retrospective application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All of the amendments in this are effective upon issuance of the final update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on NNN’s financial position or results of operations.

Use of Estimates – Management of NNN has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant estimates include provision for impairment and allowances for certain assets, accruals, useful lives of assets and capitalization of costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification – Certain items in the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

The leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, increases in the consumer price index, and/or increases in the tenant’s sales volume. Generally, the tenant is also required to pay all property taxes and assessments, substantially maintain the interior and exterior of the building and carry property and liability insurance coverage. Certain of NNN’s Investment Properties are subject to leases under which NNN retains responsibility for certain costs and expenses of the property. Generally, the leases of the Investment Properties provide the tenant with one or more multi-year renewal options subject to generally the same terms and conditions, including rent increases, consistent with the initial lease term.

Note 5 – Commercial Mortgage Residual Interests:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, NNN acquired the 21.1% non-controlling interest in its majority owned and controlled subsidiary, Orange Avenue Mortgage Investments, Inc. (“OAMI”), for $1,603,000, and OAMI became a wholly owned subsidiary of NNN. NNN accounted for the transaction as an equity transaction in accordance with the FASB guidance on consolidation. OAMI holds the commercial mortgage residual interests (“Residuals”) from seven securitizations. Each of the Residuals is recorded at fair value based upon an independent valuation. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity and other than temporary losses as a result of a change in the timing or amount of estimated cash flows are recorded as an other than temporary valuation impairment.

Note 6 – Line of Credit Payable:

NNN’s $400,000,000 revolving credit facility had a weighted average outstanding balance of $208,000 and a weighted average interest rate of 3.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In November 2009, NNN entered into a credit agreement for a new $400,000,000 revolving credit facility, replacing the existing revolving credit facility (as the context requires, the previous and new revolving credit facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures November 2012, with an option to extend the maturity to November 2013. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 280 basis points with a 1.0% LIBOR floor; however, such interest rate may change pursuant to a tiered interest rate structure based on NNN’s debt rating. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature for NNN to increase, at its option, the facility size up to $500,000,000. As of September 30, 2010, $37,100,000 was outstanding and $362,900,000 was available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility, excluding undrawn letters of credit totaling $647,000.

Note 8 – Income Taxes:

NNN elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1984. To qualify as a REIT, NNN must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. NNN intends to adhere to these requirements and maintain its REIT status. As a REIT, NNN generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. NNN may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any. The provision for federal income taxes in NNN’s consolidated financial statements relates to its TRS operations and any potential taxable built-in gain. NNN did not have significant tax provisions or deferred income tax items during the periods reported hereunder.

In June 2006, the FASB issued guidance, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB guidance included in Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

NNN is subject to the provisions of the FASB guidance as of January 1, 2007, and has analyzed its various federal and state filing positions. NNN believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions are well documented and supported. Additionally, NNN believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to the FASB guidance. In addition, NNN did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of the FASB guidance.

NNN has had no increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for current or prior years since the date of adoption. Further, no interest or penalties have been included since no reserves were recorded and no significant increases or decreases are expected to occur within the next 12 months. When applicable, such interest and penalties will be recorded in non-operating expenses. The periods that remain open under federal statute are 2007 through 2010. NNN also files in many states with varying open years under statute.

Note 10 – Derivatives:

FASB ASC 815 provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB ASC 815, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB ASC 815 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

In accordance with the guidance on derivatives and hedging, NNN records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to

 

18


Table of Contents

hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation are considered net investment hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting under FASB ASC 815.

NNN’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, NNN primarily uses treasury locks and forward swaps (“forward hedges”) and interest rate swaps as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. Forward hedges designated as cash flow hedges lock in the yield/ price of a treasury security or the fixed rate of the underlying interest rate swap. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges hedging the variable cash flows associated with floating rate debt involve the receipt of variable rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. To date, such derivatives have been used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with floating rate debt and forecasted interest payments of a forecasted issuance of debt.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings.

NNN discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the derivative is re-designated as a hedging instrument or management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

When hedge accounting is discontinued, NNN continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, and recognizes any changes in its fair value in earnings or may choose to cash settle the derivative at that time.

In February 2008, NNN terminated its interest rate hedge with a notional amount of $100,000,000 that was hedging the risk of changes in forecasted interest payments on a forecasted issuance of long-term debt. The fair value of the interest rate hedge when terminated was a liability of $804,000, which NNN recorded as a loss on interest rate hedge.

In September 2007, NNN terminated two interest rate hedges with a combined notional amount of $100,000,000 that were hedging the risk of changes in forecasted interest payments on a forecasted issuance of long-term debt. The fair value of the interest rate hedges when terminated was a liability of $3,260,000, of which $3,228,000 was deferred in other comprehensive income.

In June 2004, NNN terminated its forward-starting interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $94,000,000 that was hedging the risk of changes in forecasted interest payments on a forecasted issuance of long-term debt. The fair value of the interest rate swaps when terminated was an asset of $4,148,000, which was deferred in other comprehensive income.

As of September 30, 2010, $674,000 remains in other comprehensive income related to the fair value of the interest rate hedges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,

 

19


Table of Contents

NNN reclassed $124,000, and $119,000, respectively, out of other comprehensive income as a reduction to interest expense. Over the next 12 months, NNN estimates that an additional $131,000 will be reclassified in interest expense. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on NNN’s long-term debt.

NNN does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes or currently have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. NNN had no derivative financial instruments outstanding at September 30, 2010.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of National Retail Properties, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2009. The term “NNN” or the “Company” refers to National Retail Properties, Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries. NNN has elected to treat certain subsidiaries as taxable real estate investment trust subsidiaries. These subsidiaries and their majority owned and controlled subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “TRS.”

The information herein contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” and “may,” or similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, including those risks included in Item 1A. Risk Factors of NNN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which may cause NNN’s actual future results to differ materially from expected results. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. NNN undertakes no obligation to update or revise such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

NNN is a fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”). NNN’s operations are divided into two primary business segments: (i) investment assets, including real estate assets, mortgages and notes receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and commercial mortgage residual interests (collectively, “Investment Assets”), and (ii) inventory real estate assets (“Inventory Assets”). NNN acquires, owns, invests in, and develops properties that are leased primarily to retail tenants under long-term net leases and primarily held for investment (“Investment Properties” or “Investment Portfolio”). The Inventory Assets typically represent direct and indirect investment interests in real estate assets acquired or developed primarily for the purpose of selling the real estate (“Inventory Properties” or “Inventory Portfolio”).

As of September 30, 2010, NNN owned 1,037 Investment Properties (including 11 properties with retail operations that NNN operates), with an aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 11,741,000 square feet, located in 43 states. Approximately 97 percent of total properties in NNN’s Investment Portfolio were leased or operated by NNN as of September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, NNN owned 17 Inventory Properties. NNN transferred 11 properties from the Inventory Portfolio to the Investment Portfolio in December 2009.

NNN’s management team focuses on certain key indicators to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of NNN. The key indicators for NNN include items such as: the composition of NNN’s Investment Portfolio and structured finance investments (such as tenant, geographic and line of trade diversification), the occupancy rate of NNN’s Investment Portfolio, certain financial performance ratios and profitability measures, and industry trends and performance compared to that of NNN.

NNN continues to maintain its diversification by tenant, geography and line of trade. NNN’s highest lines of trade concentrations are the convenience store and restaurant sectors. These sectors represent a large part of the freestanding retail property marketplace and NNN’s management believes these sectors present attractive investment opportunities. NNN’s Investment Portfolio is geographically concentrated in the south and southeast United States, which are regions of historically above-average population growth. Given these concentrations, any financial hardship within these sectors or geographic locations, respectively, could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operating performance of NNN.

Revenue from Continuing Operations Analysis

General. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, NNN’s revenue decreased primarily due to a decrease in real estate expense reimbursements from tenants and interest and other income from real estate transactions.

Includes rental income from operating leases, earned income from direct financing leases and percentage rent from continuing operations (“Rental Income”).

Rental Income. Rental Income remained relatively stable in amount and as a percent of the total revenues from continuing operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in 2009.

Real Estate Expense Reimbursements from Tenants. Real estate expense reimbursements from tenants decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009 but remained fairly consistent as a percentage of total revenues from continuing operations. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in reimbursed tax assessments in 2010 compared to 2009.

Interest and Other Income from Real Estate Transactions. Interest and other income from real estate transactions decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to decreases in mortgage interest income recognized and other income.

Interest Income on Commercial Mortgage Residual Interests. Interest income on commercial mortgage residual interests (“Residuals”) decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in interest income on Residuals is primarily the result of declining loan balances from prepayments and scheduled loan amortization.

Analysis of Expenses from Continuing Operations

General. Operating expenses from continuing operations increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods in 2009. The increase for the quarter was primarily due to an increase in noncash long-term incentive compensation. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was also due to the commercial mortgage residual interests valuation adjustment.

Table of Contents

 

Real Estate. Real estate expenses decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009. The decrease in real estate expenses is primarily due to an increase in the prior year real estate expenses due to a non-performing tenant.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009. The increase is primarily a result of the depreciation attributable to real estate investments subsequent to September 30, 2009, and an increase in amortization of loan costs related to the new Credit Facility entered into in November 2009.

Impairment – Real Estate. Based upon events or changes in certain circumstances, management periodically assesses NNN’s Investment Properties for possible impairment indicating that the carrying value of the asset, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. Events or circumstances that may occur including changes in real estate market condition, the ability of NNN to re-lease properties that are vacant, and the ability to sell properties at an attractive price. Impairments are measured as the amount by which the current book value of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. As a result of the Company’s review of long-lived assets for impairments, NNN recorded $1,064,000 of impairments during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, all of which was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. No such costs were incurred in 2010.

Impairment – Commercial Mortgage Residual Interests Valuation Adjustment. In connection with the independent valuations of the Residuals’ fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, NNN recorded an other than temporary valuation adjustment of $3,848,000 as a reduction of earnings from operations. The increase in the valuation adjustment was attributable to the changes in the valuation assumptions due to the changes in loan performance relating to the Residuals.

Restructuring Costs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, NNN recorded restructuring costs of $731,000 in connection with a workforce reduction. No such costs were incurred in 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The following represents the primary changes in debt that have impacted interest expense:

 

  (i) repurchase of $2,500,000 and $8,500,000 of convertible notes payable due June 2028 with an effective interest rate of 7.192% in May 2009 and February 2009, respectively,

 

  (ii) repurchase of $3,800,000 and $5,000,000 of convertible notes payable due September 2026 with an effective interest rate of 5.840% in March 2009 and January 2009, respectively,

 

  (iii) the decrease of $14,266,000 in the weighted average debt outstanding on the Credit Facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009,

 

  (iv) the decrease of $720,000 in capitalized interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009,

 

  (v) the increase of $758,000 in amortization of loan commitment fees related to the new Credit Facility entered into in November 2009, and

 

  (vi) the assumption of two mortgages totaling $5,432,000 in March 2010 in connection with property acquisitions which bore a weighted average interest rate of 8.03% and subsequently were paid in full in August 2010.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations

NNN classified as discontinued operations the revenues and expenses related to its Investment Properties that were sold, its leasehold interests that expired or were terminated and any Investment Properties that were held for sale at September 30, 2010. NNN also classified as discontinued operations the revenues and expenses of its Inventory Properties that generated rental revenues. NNN records discontinued

NNN periodically sells Investment Properties and may reinvest the sale proceeds to purchase additional properties. NNN evaluates its ability to pay dividends to stockholders by considering the combined effect of income from continuing and discontinued operations.

Liquidity

General. NNN’s demand for funds has been and will continue to be primarily for (i) payment of operating expenses and cash dividends; (ii) property acquisitions and development; (iii) origination of mortgages and notes receivable; (iv) capital expenditures; (v) payment of principal and interest on its outstanding indebtedness; and (vi) other investments.

Cash provided by operating activities represents cash received primarily from rental income from tenants, proceeds from the disposition of Inventory Properties and interest income less cash used for general and administrative expenses, interest expense and the acquisition of Inventory Properties. NNN’s cash flow from operating activities, net of the cash used in and provided by the acquisition and disposition of its Inventory Properties, has been sufficient to pay the dividends in each of the periods presented. NNN generally uses proceeds from its Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of its Inventory Properties. The change in cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is primarily the result of changes in revenues and expenses as discussed in “Results of Operations.”

Changes in cash for investing activities are primarily attributable to the acquisitions and dispositions of Investment Properties.

NNN’s financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, include the following significant transactions:

 

   

$93,762,000 in dividends paid to common stockholders,

 

   

$5,089,000 in dividends paid to holders of the depositary shares of NNN’s Series C preferred stock,

 

   

$14,159,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of 663,741 shares of common stock in connection with the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRIP”), and

 

   

$5,432,000 from assuming two mortgages in March 2010 in connection with property acquisitions which bore a weighted average interest rate of 8.03% and subsequently were paid in full in August 2010.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments. As of September 30, 2010, NNN has agreed to fund construction commitments in connection with the development of additional properties as outlined in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Includes land and construction costs.

As of September 30, 2010, NNN had outstanding letters of credit totaling $647,000 under its Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2010, NNN did not have any other material contractual cash obligations, such as purchase obligations, financing lease obligations or other long-term liabilities other than those reflected in the table. In addition to items reflected in the table, NNN has issued preferred stock with cumulative preferential cash distributions, as described below under “Dividends.”

Management anticipates satisfying these obligations with a combination of NNN’s cash provided from operations, current capital resources on hand, its Credit Facility, debt or equity financings and asset dispositions.

Generally the Investment Properties are leased under long term net leases. Therefore, management anticipates that capital demands to meet obligations with respect to these Investment Properties will be modest for the foreseeable future and can be met with funds from operations and working capital. Certain of NNN’s Investment Properties are subject to leases under which NNN retains responsibility for certain costs and expenses associated with the Investment Property. Management anticipates the costs associated with NNN’s vacant Investment Properties or those Investment Properties that become vacant will also be met with funds from operations and working capital. NNN may be required to borrow under its Credit Facility or use other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.

As of September 30, 2010, NNN owned 28 vacant, un-leased Investment Properties which accounted for approximately three percent of total Investment Properties held in NNN’s Investment Portfolio. Vacant properties in the Investment Portfolio could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and results of operations if NNN is unable to re-lease such properties in a timely manner.

On April 20, 2009, one of NNN’s tenants, Titlemax Holdings, LLC and its affiliated companies (“Titlemax”), which leased 30 Investment Properties from NNN, filed a petition of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In January 2010, Titlemax assumed all of its leases with NNN. In April 2010, Titlemax’s plan of reorganization was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and Titlemax exited bankruptcy. Titlemax’s Chapter 11 filing did not have a material adverse effect on NNN’s operations or financial position.

In June 2010, one of NNN’s tenants, Majestic Liquor Stores, Inc. (“Majestic”), which leased 13 Investment Properties from NNN, filed a petition of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In addition, in June 2010, the principals of Majestic, (the “Majestic Principals”), which are the borrowers on a loan from NNN secured by one Majestic property, filed a petition of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In June 2010, Majestic elected to reject the leases of four properties owned by NNN and on the one property securing the loan to the Majestic Principals. NNN does not believe the bankruptcy filing of Majestic or the Majestic Principals will have a material adverse affect on its operations or financial position.

Dividends. NNN has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related regulations and intends to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. NNN generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes to its stockholders, provided that it distributes 100 percent of its REIT taxable income and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. If NNN fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost. Such an event could materially affect NNN’s income and its ability to pay dividends. NNN believes it has been structured as, and its past and present operations qualify NNN as, a REIT.

One of NNN’s primary objectives, consistent with its policy of retaining sufficient cash for reserves and working capital purposes and maintaining its status as a REIT, is to distribute a substantial portion of its funds available from operations to its stockholders in the form of dividends. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, NNN declared and paid dividends to its common stockholders of $93,762,000 and $89,422,000, respectively, or $1.130 and $1.125 per share, respectively, of common stock.

In October 2010, NNN declared a dividend of $0.38 per share which is payable in November 2010 to its common stockholders of record as of October 29, 2010.

NNN declared and paid dividends to its Series C preferred stockholders of $5,089,000 or $1.3828 per share during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Series C preferred stock has no maturity date and will remain outstanding unless redeemed.

Capital Resources

Generally, cash needs for property acquisitions, mortgages and notes receivable investments, debt payments, dividends, capital expenditures, development and other investments have been funded by equity and debt offerings, bank borrowings, the sale of properties and, to a lesser extent, by internally generated funds. Cash needs for other items have been met from operations. If available, future sources of capital include proceeds from the public or private offering of NNN’s debt or equity securities, secured or unsecured borrowings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of properties, as well as undistributed funds from operations.

Indebtedness. NNN expects to use indebtedness primarily for property acquisitions and development of retail properties, either directly or through investment interests, and mortgages and notes receivable.

Line of Credit Payable. NNN’s $400,000,000 Credit Facility matures November 2012, with an option to extend maturity to November 2013. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 280 basis points with a 1.0% LIBOR floor; however, such interest rate may change pursuant to a tiered interest rate structure based on NNN’s debt rating. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature for NNN to increase the facility size up to $500,000,000.

NNN’s $400,000,000 Credit Facility had a weighted average outstanding balance of $208,000 and a weighted average interest rate of 3.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, $37,100,000 was outstanding and approximately $362,900,000 was available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility, excluding undrawn letters of credit totaling $647,000.

In March 2010, NNN acquired two properties subject to mortgages securing a loan for $5,432,000. The loans bore interest at a weighted average rate of 8.03% per annum with monthly principal and interest payments of $44,000; the balance of the loans were paid in full in August 2010.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

NNN is exposed to interest rate risk primarily as a result of its variable rate Credit Facility and its fixed rate debt which is used to finance NNN’s development and acquisition activities, as well as for general corporate purposes. NNN’s interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, NNN borrows at both fixed and variable rates on its long-term debt. As of September 30, 2010, NNN had no outstanding derivatives.

The information in the table below summarizes NNN’s market risks associated with its debt obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The table presents principal payments and related interest rates by year for debt obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2010. The variable interest rates shown represent the weighted average rate for the Credit Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The table incorporates only those debt obligations that existed as of September 30, 2010; it does not consider those debt obligations or positions which could arise after this date. Moreover, because firm commitments are not presented in the table below, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. As a result, NNN’s ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, NNN’s hedging strategies at that time and interest rates. If interest rates on NNN’s variable rate debt increased by one percent, NNN’s interest expense would have increased by less than one percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Includes NNN’s notes payable and convertible notes payable, each net of unamortized note discount. NNN uses Bloomberg to determine the fair value.

NNN is also exposed to market risks related to the Residuals. Factors that may impact the market value of the Residuals include delinquencies, loan losses, prepayment speeds and interest rates. The Residuals, which are reported at market value based upon an independent valuation, had a carrying value of $15,278,000 and $20,153,000 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Losses are considered other than temporary and reported as a valuation impairment in earnings from operations if and when there has been a change in the timing or amount of estimated cash flows that leads to a loss in value.
