Liberty Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 –
Organization and
Background
One
Liberty Properties, Inc. (“OLP”) was incorporated in 1982 in the state of
Maryland. OLP is a self-administered and self-managed real estate
investment trust (“REIT”). OLP acquires, owns and manages a
geographically diversified portfolio of retail, including furniture and office
supply stores, industrial, office, flex, health and fitness and other
properties, a substantial portion of which are under long-term net
leases. As of June 30, 2009, OLP owned 78 properties, seven of which
are vacant (including five properties formerly leased to Circuit City Stores,
Inc. and classified as held for sale), and one of which is a 50% tenancy in
common interest. OLP’s joint ventures owned five properties, one of
which is vacant. The 83 properties are located in 29 states.
Note 2 –
Basis of
Preparation
The
accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30,
2009 and 2008 and for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim
periods. The results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30,
2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of OLP and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
“Company”). Material intercompany items and transactions have
been eliminated. The Company accounts for its investments in
unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting as the
Company (1) is primarily the managing member, but does not exercise substantial
operating control over these entities pursuant to EITF 04-05, and (2) such
entities are not variable-interest entities pursuant to FASB Interpretation No.
46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” These investments
are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures,
and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and
distributions.
Certain
amounts reported in previous consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to
the current year’s presentation, primarily to reclassify the assets and
liabilities of five properties that were formerly leased to Circuit City as held
for sale at June 30, 2009 and to reclassify the operations of these properties,
as well as a property that was sold during March 2009, to discontinued
operations at June 30, 2009.
These
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes which are included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 thereto (Form 10-K/A) for the year ended
December 31, 2008.

(Continued)
Note 3 –
Earnings Per Common
Share
For the
six and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, basic earnings per share was
determined by dividing net income for each period by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding, which includes unvested restricted stock
during each period, plus the common stock issued in connection with the
dividends paid in April and July 2009, as discussed in Note 9.
Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts exercisable for, or convertible into, common stock
were exercised or converted or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
shared in the earnings of the Company. There were no outstanding
options to purchase shares of common stock in the six and three months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Note 4 –
Investment in
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The
Company’s five unconsolidated joint ventures each own and operate one
property. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s
equity investment in unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $5,869,000, and
$5,857,000, respectively. The Company recognized a gain on sale of property of
$297,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and recorded equity in earnings
of $308,000 and $297,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the
Company recorded equity in earnings of $149,000 and $152,000,
respectively.
On March
25, 2008, one of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures sold its only
property, which was vacant, for a consideration of $1,302,000, net of closing
costs. The sale resulted in a gain to the Company of $297,000 (after
giving effect to the Company’s $480,000 share of a direct write down taken by
the joint venture in a prior year).
Note 5 –
Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts
The
Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of our tenants to make required rent
payments. If the financial condition of a specific tenant were to
deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of its ability to make payments,
additional allowances may be required. At June 30, 2009 and December
31, 2008, the balance in allowance for doubtful accounts was $213,000 and
$160,000, respectively, recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable. The
Company recorded bad debt expense of $220,000 and $343,000 as a reduction of
rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, of which $58,000
was recorded as discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
The Company recorded bad debt expense of $178,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, recorded as a reduction of rental income in discontinued
operations.

Note 6 –
Lease Termination Fee
Income
In June
2009, the Company received a $1,905,000 lease termination fee from a retail
tenant that had been paying its rent on a current basis, but had vacated the
property in March 2009. Offsetting
this amount is the write off of the entire balance of the unbilled rent
receivable and the intangible lease asset related to this property, aggregating
$121,000. The net amount of $1,784,000 is recorded on the income
statement as “Lease Termination Fee” income.
Note 7 –
Properties Held for
Sale
Circuit
City Stores, Inc., a retail tenant which previously leased five properties from
five of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, filed for protection under the Federal
bankruptcy laws in November 2008, rejected leases for two of the properties in
December 2008 and the remaining three properties in March 2009. At
June 30, 2009, non-recourse mortgages, secured and cross collateralized by the
five former Circuit City properties, had an outstanding balance of $8,706,000.
No payments have been made on these mortgages since December 1, 2008 and a
letter of default was received on March 16, 2009. In July 2009, these
properties were conveyed to the mortgagee by deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure and as
a result, OLP and the five wholly-owned subsidiaries which owned the Circuit
City properties were released from all obligations, including principal,
interest and real estate taxes due. The Company accrued interest expense on
these mortgages totaling $297,000 for the period December 2008 through June 30,
2009 and accrued real estate tax expense totaling $246,000. The net
book value, which is classified as “held for sale”, of these five properties was
$8,075,000 at June 30, 2009, after giving effect to a $5,231,000 impairment
charge taken at December 31, 2008. The Company will recognize income of
approximately $890,000 from discontinued operations relating to the items
mentioned above and certain other items during the three months ended September
30, 2009.
Note 8 –
Discontinued
Operations
In
February 2009, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with a
retail tenant of a Texas property that had been paying its rent on a current
basis, but had vacated the property in 2006. Pursuant to the agreement, the
tenant paid the Company $400,000 as consideration for the termination, which
payment was recorded as rental income of discontinued operations. On
March 5, 2009, the Company completed the sale of this property to an unrelated
party for consideration of $1,900,000 and recorded an impairment charge of
$229,000 to recognize
the net loss. This is in addition to an impairment charge of $752,000 taken in
the quarter ended June 30, 2008. At December 31, 2008, this property had a net
book value of $2,072,000 and was classified as a real estate
investment.

Common Stock Dividend
Distributions
On June
4, 2009, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on the Company’s
common stock of $.22 per share payable in cash and shares of the Company’s
common stock. The distribution was paid on July 21, 2009 to stockholders of
record on June 19, 2009 and totaled $2,333,000, of which $234,000 was paid in
cash and the balance was paid by the issuance of 376,000 shares of common stock,
valued at approximately $5.58 per share. All per share amounts have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the portion of the dividend paid by the
issuance of stock. The number of common shares issued and outstanding
as presented on the balance sheet at June 30, 2009 would have been 10,746,000,
taking into account the 376,000 shares issued on July 21, 2009.
On April
27, 2009, the Company paid a quarterly dividend on the Company’s common stock of
$.22 per share payable in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock to

Note 11 –
Restricted
Stock
The
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments,”
effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R established financial
accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans,
including all arrangements by which employees and others receive shares of stock
or other equity instruments
of the employer, or the employer incurs liabilities to employees in amounts
based on the price of the employer’s stock. The statement also
defined a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or
similar equity instrument whereby the fair-value is recorded based on the market
value of the common stock on the grant date and is amortized to general and
administrative expense over the respective vesting periods.
The
Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), approved by the
Company’s stockholders in June 2009, permits the Company to grant stock options,
restricted stock and/or performance-based awards to its employees, officers,
directors and consultants. The maximum number of shares of the
Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan is
600,000. The restricted stock grants are valued at the fair value as of the date
of the grant and substantially all restricted share awards made to date provide
for vesting upon the fifth anniversary of the date of grant and under certain
circumstances may vest earlier. For accounting purposes, the restricted stock is
not included in the outstanding shares shown on the balance sheet until they
vest, however dividends are paid on the unvested shares. The value of
such
grants is initially deferred, and amortization of amounts deferred is being
charged to operations
over the respective vesting periods.

Line of
Credit
The
Company has a $62,500,000 revolving credit facility (“Facility”) with VNB New
York Corp., Bank Leumi USA, Israel Discount Bank of New York and Manufacturers
and Traders Trust Company. The Facility matures on March 31, 2010 and provides
that the Company pays interest at the lower of LIBOR plus 2.15% or the
respective bank’s prime rate on funds borrowed and has an unused facility fee of
¼% per annum. At June 30, 2009, there was $27,000,000 outstanding
under the Facility.
Note 13
– Fair Value of
Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments Not
Measured at Fair Value
The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each
class of financial instruments for which adjustments to measure at fair value
are not reported:
Cash and
cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet
for these instruments approximate their fair values.

Note 13
– Fair Value of
Financial Instruments (Continued)
Mortgages
payable: At June 30, 2009, the estimated fair value of the Company's
mortgages payable is less than their carrying value by approximately $5,973,000,
assuming a market interest rate of 6.75%.
Line of
credit: There is no material difference between the carrying amount
and fair value because the interest rate is at the lower of LIBOR plus 2.15% or
at the prime rate and it is scheduled to mature in less than one
year.
Considerable
judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair
value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts.
Financial Instruments
Measured at Fair Value
The
Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that 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, SFAS
No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market
participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent
of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market
participant assumptions. In accordance with the SFAS No. 157
hierarchy, Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for
identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued
based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted
prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other “observable” market
inputs and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on
“unobservable” market inputs. The Company does not currently own any
financial instruments that are classified as Level 3.
The fair
values of the Company’s financial instruments were determined using the
following inputs as of June 30, 2009:

Available-for-sale
securities
All of
the Company’s marketable securities, including its investment in common shares
of BRT Realty
Trust and its two debt securities, are classified as available-for-sale
securities. The total unamortized cost of such securities is $2,509,000 and the
aggregate amount of unrealized losses is $231,000, which is included in
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss on the balance sheet. Fair
values are approximated on current market quotes from financial sources that
track such securities.
Derivative financial
instruments and hedging activities
The
Company entered into two interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk.
The valuation of the instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation
techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of
the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the
derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based
inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied
volatilities.
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 June 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
Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to
interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To
accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its
interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps
designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from
a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the
life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional
amount.
The
effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and
that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Loss and is subsequently reclassified to interest expense as interest payments
are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. The ineffective portion
of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in
earnings. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a
$111,000 gain on hedge ineffectiveness attributable to the late designation
of one of the Company’s swaps, which amount was recorded as a reduction of
interest expense. There was no hedge ineffectiveness at December 31,
2008.
During
the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $207,000 will be
reclassified
as an increase to interest expense.

The
Company did not have any derivative instruments during the six and three months
ended June 30, 2008.
The
derivative agreements in existence at June 30, 2009 provide that if either
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which is a party to any such agreement
defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness,
then a default can be declared on such subsidiary’s derivative obligations. In
addition, the Company (but not any of its subsidiaries) is a credit support
provider and a party to one of the derivative agreements and if there is a
default by the Company on any of its indebtedness, a default can be declared on
the derivative obligations under the agreement to which the Company is a party.
The default under the Circuit City mortgage obligations referred to in Note 7 is
not a default under the derivative agreements.
As of
June 30, 2009, the fair value of derivatives in a liability position related to
these agreements was $399,000. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has not posted
any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company breached any of these
provisions it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements
at their termination value of $458,000.

Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations - a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 141” (“SFAS No. 141 (R)”), which
applies to all transactions or events in which an entity obtains control of one
or more businesses. SFAS No. 141 (R) (i) establishes the
acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired
and liabilities assumed, (ii) requires expensing of most transaction costs, and
(iii) requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users of the
information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of
the business combination. The principal impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141
(R) on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be the requirement
that the Company expense most of its transaction costs relating to its
acquisition activities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 (R) on
January 1, 2009 and has determined that it has no effect on its consolidated
financial statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No 51” (“SFAS No.
160”). SFAS No. 160
requires non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries to be displayed
in the statement of financial position as a separate component of
equity. Earnings and losses attributable to non-controlling interests are
no longer reported as part of consolidated earnings, rather they are disclosed
on the face of the income statement. The Company adopted SFAS No. 160
on January 1, 2009 and due to the current 100% ownership of the Company’s
consolidated subsidiaries, SFAS No. 160 has no impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133” (“SFAS No.161”), which amends and expands the disclosure
requirements of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 133”) 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 SFAS 133 and its
related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. SFAS 161 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. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009 and accordingly, has added significant
disclosures to its financial statements.
In June
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, ‘‘Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities,’’ (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 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. The Company
adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 on January 1, 2009 and the adoption had no impact on the
Company as the unvested restricted stock awards were previously included in the
per share amounts for both basic and diluted earnings per share.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2”). FSP FAS
115-2 changes existing accounting requirements for other-than-temporary
impairment for debt securities. The FSP also extends new disclosure
requirements about debt and equity securities to interim reporting periods as
well as provides new disclosure requirements. The Company adopted FSP FAS 115-2
during the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of the provisions of FSP 115-2
did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Refer to Note 13 for
the Company’s added disclosures.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1”). FSP FAS 107-1
extends the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 107”), to interim financial statements
of publicly traded companies. SFAS 107 requires disclosures of the
fair value of all financial instruments (recognized or unrecognized) except for
those specifically excluded, when practical to do so. The FSP
must be applied prospectively and does not require disclosures for earlier
periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. The
Company adopted FSP FAS 107-1 in the second quarter of 2009 and has added the
required disclosures to its interim consolidated financial
statements. Refer to Note 13 for the Company’s added
disclosures.

April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying
Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). This Staff Position
clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, when the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This
FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a
transaction is not orderly. The guidance in this Staff Position is effective for

be applied prospectively. Accordingly, the Company adopted the provisions of FSP
FAS 157-4 in the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of the provisions of FSP
FAS 157-4 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In May
2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No.
165”), to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of
subsequent events. SFAS No. 165 renames the two types of subsequent events as
recognized subsequent events or non-recognized subsequent events and modifies
the definition of the evaluation period for subsequent events as events or
transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial
statements are issued. This will require entities to disclose the date, through
which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date
(the issued date for public companies). SFAS No. 165 is
effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15,
2009, and is to be applied prospectively. Accordingly, the Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. in the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of the
provisions of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash
flows. Refer to Note 15 for the Company’s disclosure on subsequent
events.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168, or the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”), will become the source
of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. On the
effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing
non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC
accounting literature not included in the Codification will become
non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for
interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company
does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.

New Accounting
Pronouncements (Continued)
In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167,
“Amendments to FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R),” (“FAS 167”), which amends guidance in FIN
46(R) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity, or VIE,
and requires the performance of a qualitative rather than a quantitative
analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Under this guidance, an
entity would be required to consolidate a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct
the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance
and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive
benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. FAS 167 is effective
for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, with
early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the
adoption of FAS 167 on its financial statements.

Forward-Looking
Statements
With the
exception of historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains
certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Act of
1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the
safe harbor provision for forward-looking statements contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes
of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking
statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future
plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the
words "may," "will," “could,” "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "project," or similar expressions or variations
thereof. Forward-looking statements should not be relied on since
they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are,
in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual
results, performance or achievements. Investors are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a
self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, and we
primarily own real estate that we net lease to tenants. As of June
30, 2009, we owned 78 properties, including a 50% tenancy in common interest in
one property and participated in five joint ventures which owned a total of five
properties. These 83 properties are located in 29
states.
We have
elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and
operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute currently
at least 90% of ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. We
intend to comply with these requirements and to maintain our REIT
status.
Traditionally,
we have sought to acquire properties throughout the United States that have
locations, demographics and other investment attributes that we believe to be
attractive. To fund these acquisitions, we typically used funds
borrowed under our credit facility and then sought mortgage indebtedness for the
purchased properties on a non-recourse basis, repaying any funds borrowed
under our credit facility. Over the past several quarters,
institutions have significantly curtailed their lending
activities and as a result, it has been challenging to obtain mortgage
indebtedness. Due to the current lack of liquidity in the
market, we are carefully monitoring our cash needs, our liquidity and the
status of our portfolio to preserve our cash and, until the economy stabilizes,
we have adopted a conservative acquisition strategy. We
continue to maintain a strong cash position to enable us to withstand tenant
fallouts.
We are a
party to a credit agreement, as amended, with VNB New York Corp., Bank Leumi,
USA, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company and Israel Discount Bank of New
York, under which $27 million is currently outstanding. This credit facility
expires on March 31, 2010. We have been seeking either to
refinance the credit facility or identify alternative lending
sources. Given the current challenges in the credit markets, we
cannot be certain that we will successfully refinance or secure an alternative
source of financing prior to March 31, 2010 or that, if we do, the terms will be
satisfactory.

Results of
Operations
Comparison of Six and Three
Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
Revenues
Rental
income increased by $2.4 million, or 12.5%, to $21.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 from $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, rental income
increased by $1.1 million, or 11.4%, to $10.5 million from $9.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in rental income is
primarily due to rental revenues during the six and three months ended June 30,
2009 of $2.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, earned on twelve properties
acquired by us during 2008.
Lease
termination fee income resulted from a $1,905,000 lease termination payment
received in June 2009 from a retail tenant that had been paying its rent on a
current basis, but had vacated the property in March 2009, offset by the write
off of the entire balance of the unbilled rent receivable and intangible lease
asset related to this property, aggregating $121,000.
Operating
Expenses
Depreciation
and amortization expense increased by $408,000, or 9.9%, and $110,000, or 5.1%,
to $4.5 million and $2.3 million for the six and three months ended June 30,
2009. The increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization of
$463,000 and $228,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively, taken on twelve properties acquired during 2008. The
increase was offset by “catch-up” depreciation of $98,000 and $157,000 recorded
in the six and three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, on a property
which had been classified as “held for sale” with no depreciation recorded from
August 2007 through March 31, 2008.
General
and administrative expenses increased by $54,000, or 1.7%, to $3.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2009, substantially due to an increase in
accounting and legal fees in connection with our year end audit and filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Real
estate expenses increased by $226,000, or 198%, and $106,000, or 183%, to
$340,000 and $164,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively, resulting primarily from real estate taxes and utilities for one
of our vacant properties. In addition, the 2009 periods include real
estate taxes for another property which became subject to a lease with a new
tenant under which we are responsible for the real estate taxes, and an increase
in repairs, maintenance and other operating expenses at various
properties.
Other
Income and Expenses
We
recognized a net gain of $297,000 on the sale by a joint venture of a
vacant property in the six months ended June 30, 2008. There was no
comparable gain in the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Interest
and other income decreased by $124,000, or 37.5%, to $207,000 and increased by
$57,000, or 47.1%, to $178,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively. We had less cash available for investment in short-term cash
equivalents in both periods, as we applied
available cash to the purchase of nine properties in September
2008. In addition, the three months ended June 30, 2008 reflects a
decline in interest rates earned on short term cash
equivalents. Offsetting the decrease in interest income was $110,000
of consulting fee income and $37,000 received for an easement at one of our
properties, both recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2009.
- 21
-
Interest
expense increased by $276,000, or 3.9%, and $96,000, or 2.7%, to $7.3 million
and $3.6 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively. The increase results primarily from increases of
$349,000 and $170,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively, of interest expense related to our line of credit as we drew down
funds for the purchase of eight properties in September
2008. Additionally, the increase was due to interest expense on fixed
rate mortgages placed on four properties between September 2008 and March 2009,
offset in part by a $111,000 gain on hedge ineffectiveness related to an
interest rate swap on one of the four new mortgages. These increases
were offset in part from the payoff in full of a loan payable, as well as from
the monthly principal amortization of mortgages.
Amortization
of deferred financing costs increased by $138,000, or 45.8%, and $14,000, or
9.3%, to $439,000 and $164,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively. The increase in the six month period results primarily
from $118,000 of accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs relating
to a mortgage loan that was refinanced during the quarter ended March 31,
2009. The balance of the increase results from mortgages placed on
several of our properties since September 2008.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, we sold five acres of excess land that we
acquired as part of the purchase of a flex building in 2000 and recognized a
gain of $1.8 million. There was no such gain in the six months ended
June 30, 2009.
Discontinued
Operations
Loss from
discontinued operations decreased by $268,000, or 42.1%, and $450,000, or 58.8%,
to losses of $369,000 and $315,000 for the six and three months ended June 30,
2009, respectively. Included in discontinued operations are the operations of
five properties that were formerly leased to Circuit City, which filed for
protection under the federal bankruptcy laws in November 2008. These five
properties had net income in the six and three months ended June 30, 2008, but
produced losses in the current six and three month periods due to the rejection
by Circuit City of its leases with us in the last quarter of 2008 and the first
quarter of 2009 and the recording of real estate tax expense. Offsetting these
losses are the discontinued operations of a property for which we received a
$400,000 lease termination payment in March 2009 from its retail tenant that had
been paying its rent on a current basis, but had vacated the property in 2006.
In March 2009, we sold this property to an unrelated party and recorded an
impairment charge of $229,000 to recognize the loss. This is in addition to an
impairment charge of $752,000 taken against this property during the three
months ended June 30, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
We
require capital to fund our operations. Our capital sources include
income from operating activities, borrowings under our revolving credit facility
and mortgage loans secured by our properties. Our available liquidity
at June 30, 2009 includes approximately $18.2 million of cash and cash
equivalents and $35.5 million under our revolving credit facility, which can be
used to pay off existing mortgages, to fund the acquisition of additional
properties or to invest in joint ventures. With
the tightening of liquidity by lending institutions, it has been difficult to
secure mortgage indebtedness and as a result, our ability to make new property
acquisitions or increase liquidity will continue to be limited until credit,
particularly mortgage loans, become more readily available.
- 22
-
We expect
to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through our cash and
cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities. The most significant
source available to us for a new property acquisition is our revolving credit
facility. All of our requests for draw downs under our credit
facility have been satisfied to date. However, in view of the current
uncertainties in the economy and our limited ability to secure mortgage
indebtedness, we have adopted a conservative acquisition strategy and will
likely make few, if any, acquisitions in the near term.
We expect
to meet our long term liquidity requirements through existing cash resources,
proceeds from debt, including under a credit facility, mortgage financings on
our properties (including refinances), and if required, the liquidation of
properties. We believe that the value of our real estate portfolio
is, and will continue to be, sufficient to allow us to refinance the existing
mortgage debt at maturity and repay all indebtedness we owe under our credit
facility. In addition, in order to increase our cash position, in
January 2009, we reduced our quarterly dividend by 38.8%, to $.22 per share, and
in connection with our most recent quarterly dividends of $.22 per share paid in
April and July 2009, took advantage of a recently adopted Internal Revenue
Service revenue ruling which allows us to satisfy our REIT dividend requirement
relating to taxable
income earned in 2009, by paying our quarterly dividend in cash and
shares of our common stock, provided the cash portion of the dividend is at
least 10% of the aggregate amount.
Our
current credit facility matures on March 31, 2010. The growth of our
business through acquisitions is dependent on securing an extension of our
credit facility or securing a new credit facility. Any decision by
our lenders (or potential lenders) to provide us with financing will depend upon
a number of factors, such as the continuation of the current economic recession,
our compliance with the terms of our existing credit facility, our financial
performance, industry and market trends, the general availability of and rates
applicable to financing transactions, such lenders' resources and policies
concerning the terms under which they make capital commitments and the relative
attractiveness of alternative investment or lending opportunities. Given the
current environment, we expect that the terms of a new facility will be less
favorable than our existing facility. We owe $27 million under the facility and
we would have to identify other sources including, if necessary, the sale of
some properties, if we were required to repay the debt.
At June
30, 2009, excluding mortgages payable of our unconsolidated joint ventures, we
had 40 outstanding mortgages payable covering 61 properties, aggregating
approximately $225 million in principal amount, all of which are secured by
first liens on individual real estate investments with an aggregate carrying
value of approximately $360 million, before accumulated depreciation. The
mortgages bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 5.44% to 8.8%, and mature
between 2009 and 2037. During the period July 1, 2009 through
December 31, 2009, $3.2 million of our mortgage debt will mature and we believe
our present and anticipated cash position is sufficient to repay this mortgage
debt.
- 23
-
No
payments have been made since December 1, 2008 on non-recourse mortgages
totaling $8.7 million secured by five properties formerly leased to Circuit City
by five of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and a letter of default was received on
March 16, 2009. In July 2009, these properties were conveyed to the
mortgagee by deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure.
Credit
Facility
We are a
party to a credit agreement, as amended, with VNB New York Corp., Bank Leumi,
USA, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company and Israel Discount Bank of New
York which provides for a $62.5 million revolving credit
facility. The credit facility is available to us to pay off existing
mortgages, to fund the acquisition of additional properties or to invest in
joint ventures. The facility matures on March 31,
2010. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the lower of
LIBOR plus 2.15% or the bank’s prime rate and there is an unused facility fee of
¼% per annum. Net proceeds received from the sale or refinancing of
properties are required to be used to repay amounts outstanding under the
facility if proceeds from the facility were used to purchase or refinance the
property. The facility is guaranteed by our subsidiaries that own
unencumbered properties and is secured by the outstanding stock of subsidiary
entities. In
September 2008, we borrowed $34 million under our line of credit to facilitate
the purchase of eight properties, of which $7 million was repaid in November
2008 with a portion of the proceeds from a mortgage financing of one of our
properties. As of June 30, 2009, there was $27 million outstanding under
the facility.
At June
30, 2009, we had no outstanding contingent commitments, such as guarantees of
indebtedness, or any other contractual cash obligations, other than mortgage
payable debt, interest rate swaps and the amount outstanding under our line of
credit.
Distribution
Policy
We have
elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and
operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute currently
at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. It
is our current intention to comply with these requirements and maintain our REIT
status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate
federal, state or local income taxes on taxable income we distribute currently
(in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations) to our
stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be
subject to federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates and
may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax
years. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal taxation purposes, we
may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and to federal
income and/or excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income (i.e., taxable
income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations thereunder).
With
respect to the quarterly dividends paid in April and July 2009, we took
advantage of a recently adopted IRS revenue ruling which allows us to satisfy
our REIT distribution requirement relating to taxable income earned in 2009, by
paying the dividend in cash and our common stock, provided the cash component
represents at least 10% of the aggregate distribution. Accordingly,
the dividend paid on July 21, 2009, aggregating $2,333,000, consisted of
$234,000 in cash and 376,000 shares of our common stock valued at approximately
$5.58. The dividend paid on April 27, 2009, aggregating $2,229,000,
consisted of $223,000 in cash and 529,000 shares of our common stock valued at
approximately $3.79.

Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk
Our
primary market risk exposure is the effect of changes in interest rates on the
interest cost of draws on our revolving variable rate credit facility and the
effect of changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap
agreements. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors,
including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international
economic
and political considerations and other factors beyond our control.
As of
June 30, 2009, we had two interest rate swap agreements outstanding which have
an aggregate notional value of $20.5 million. The ineffective portion
(attributable to the late designation of one of the Company’s swaps) of the
change in fair value is recognized directly in earnings. The fair market
value of the interest rate swap is dependent upon existing market interest rates
and swap spreads, which change over time. As of June 30, 2009, we
recorded a $111,000 gain on hedge ineffectiveness. If there had been a 100 basis
point increase in forward interest rates, we would have recorded income of
approximately $121,000 and if there had been a 100 basis point decrease in
forward interest rates, we would have recorded an expense of approximately
$32,000.
We
utilize interest rate swaps to limit interest rate risk. Derivatives
are used for hedging purposes rather than speculation. We do not
enter into financial instruments for trading purposes.
In
connection with our long-term mortgage debt, which bears interest at fixed rates
or is subject to an interest rate swap, and accordingly, the effect of changes
in interest rates would not impact the amount of interest expense that we incur
under these mortgages. Our credit facility is a revolving variable
rate facility which is sensitive to interest rates. Under current
market conditions, we do not believe that our risk of material potential losses
in future earnings, fair values and/or cash flows from near-term changes in
market rates that we consider reasonably possible is material.
We
assessed the market risk for our revolving variable rate credit facility and
believe that a 1% increase in interest rates would cause a decrease in annual
net income of $270,000 and a 1% decrease would cause an increase in annual net
income of $270,000 based on the $27 million outstanding on our credit facility
at June 30, 2009.
Item
4. Controls and
Procedures
As
required under Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009 are
effective.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the six and
three months ended June 30, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
