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 September 30, 2010, OLP owned 79 properties, two of
which are vacant and one of which is a 50% tenancy in common
interest. OLP’s joint ventures owned a total of four properties. The
83 properties are located in 28 states.
Note 2 -
Basis of
Preparation
The
accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September
30, 2010 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
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 three and nine months ended September
30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with 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. All investments in joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to
permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power
through voting rights to direct the activities of the venture. As a result, none
of the Company’s joint ventures are variable interest entities. In addition,
although the Company is the managing member, it does not exercise substantial
operating control over these entities, and therefore the entities are not
consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments
in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of
equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. None of the joint
venture debt is recourse to the Company.
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 two properties which
were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2010 to properties held
for sale at December 31, 2009 and to reclassify the operations of these
properties to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September
30, 2010 (Continued)
Note 2 -
Basis of Preparation
(Continued)
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 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Note 3 -
Earnings Per Common
Share
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, basic earnings per
share was determined by dividing net income for each period by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. This includes the unvested
restricted stock during each period, as the restricted stock is entitled to
receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating
security. Excluded from the basic weighted average number of common
shares outstanding are the restricted stock units awarded under the
Pay-for-Performance program described in Note 13 as these units are not
participating securities.
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. The weighted average number of
common shares outstanding used for the diluted earnings per share calculations
includes the impact of common stock issued in connection with the dividends paid
in April, July and October 2009 and January 2010, as of the dividend declaration
date, as the shares were contingently issuable as of that date. Such
stock dividends were included in basic earnings per share as of the issuance
date. The diluted weighted average number of common shares also includes the
restricted stock units awarded under the Pay-for-Performance Program described
in Note 13, as of the date of grant. There were no options outstanding to
purchase shares of common stock or other contracts exercisable for, or
convertible into, common stock during the three and nine months ended September
30, 2010 and 2009.
Note 4 -
Investment in
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
On April
30, 2010, one of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, in which the
Company holds an approximate 36% equity interest, sold its only property for
$3,200,000, net of closing costs. The sale resulted in a gain to the Company of
$107,000.
The
Company’s remaining four unconsolidated joint ventures each own and operate one
property. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company’s
equity investment in unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $4,967,000 and
$5,839,000, respectively. The Company recorded equity in earnings (exclusive of
gain on sale) of $354,000 and $449,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively, and $101,000 and $140,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Note 5 -
Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts
The
Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of its 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 September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the
balance in allowance for doubtful accounts was $545,000 and $472,000,
respectively, recorded as a reduction
to accounts receivable. The Company records bad debt expense as a reduction of
rental income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the
Company recorded bad debt expense of $14,000 and $93,000, respectively, and for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, $132,000 and $475,000,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
$2,000, and $58,000, respectively, of such bad debt expense was recorded in
discontinued operations. There was no bad debt expense recorded in
discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and
2009.

Real Estate
Acquisitions and Dispositions (Continued)
As a
result of the 2010 purchases, the Company recorded intangible lease assets of
$1,121,000 and intangible lease liabilities of $365,000, representing the value
of the acquired leases and origination costs. As of September 30,
2010, the weighted average amortization period is 10.7 years for the intangible
lease assets and 25.3 years for the intangible lease liabilities. The assumed
mortgage was determined to be at market. The Company assessed the
fair value of the lease intangibles and the assumed mortgage based on estimated
cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available
market information. Such inputs are Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The
Company is currently in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocations
for the properties purchased since April 2010; therefore, they are preliminary
and subject to change.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold to unrelated
parties, two properties in separate transactions, for an aggregate of
approximately $4,100,000, net of closing costs, and realized an aggregate gain
of $235,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. One of the
properties was vacant as of July 1, 2010.

On May
26, 2010, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement,
effective as of March 31, 2010, with VNB New York Corp., Bank Leumi USA, Israel
Discount Bank of New York and Manufacturer’s & Trader’s Trust Company, which
amends and restates its prior credit facility. The Second Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement reduces the Company’s permitted borrowings from
$62,500,000 to $40,000,000, extends the expiration date of the credit facility
to March 31, 2012, increases the interest rate to the greater of (i) 90 day
LIBOR plus 3%, or (ii) 6% per annum, and provides for an unused facility fee of
¼ % per annum. Upon closing, the Company paid the banks a $400,000 commitment
fee which is being amortized over the term of the facility. At
September 30, 2010, there was $27,800,000 outstanding under the facility and at
November 4, 2010 there was $31,100,000 outstanding under the
facility.

Dividend Reinvestment
Plan
In June
2010, the Company reinstated its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) which
had been temporarily suspended in December 2008. The Plan provides
stockholders with the opportunity to reinvest all, or a portion of, their cash
dividends paid on the Company’s common stock in additional shares of its common
stock, at a discount of up to 5% from the market price. The discount is
determined at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company is currently
offering a 5% discount from market, the same discount which was in place at the
time of the suspension. The Company issued 30,265 common shares under the Plan
during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Stock Based
Compensation
The
Company’s 2009 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. A maximum of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock is authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2009 Incentive
Plan.
The
Company’s 2003 Incentive Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in June
2003, permitted the Company to grant stock options and restricted stock to its
employees, officers, directors and consultants. A maximum of 275,000
shares of the Company’s common stock was authorized for issuance pursuant to the
2003 Incentive Plan.
The
restricted stock grants are charged to general and administrative expense over
the respective vesting periods based on the market value of the common stock on
the grant date. Substantially all restricted stock awards made to date provide
for vesting upon the fifth anniversary of the grant date and under certain
circumstances may vest earlier. For accounting purposes, the restricted stock is
not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet until they
vest; however dividends are paid on the unvested shares.

On
September 14, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a Pay-For-Performance
Program under the Company’s 2009 Incentive Plan, and awarded 200,000 performance
share awards in the form of restricted stock units (the
“Units”). Holders of Units are not entitled to dividends or to vote
the underlying shares until the Units vest and shares are issued. If
the defined performance criteria are satisfied at June 30, 2017, one share of
the Company’s common stock will be issued for each Unit
outstanding. The program allows for 100,000 Units to vest if the
average annual return on capital exceeds 10% and a pro-rata portion of 100,000
Units to vest if the average annual return on capital is between 8% and
10%. The program allows 100,000 Units to vest if the average annual
total stockholder return exceeds 13% and a pro-rata portion of 100,000 Units to
vest if the average annual total stockholder return is between 10.25% and
13%. In the event that the performance criteria are not
satisfied in whole or in part at June 30, 2017, the unvested Units will be
forfeited and no shares of the Company’s common stock will be issued for those
Units. For the awards which vest based on total stockholder return, a third
party appraiser prepared a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the
fair value. For the awards which vest based on return on capital, the fair value
is based on the market value on the date of grant. Expense will not
be recognized on the Units which the Company does not expect to vest as a result
of service conditions or the Company’s
performance expectations. The average per Unit grant price of the
200,000 units granted is $11.74. The total amount recorded as
deferred compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is
$608,000 and will be charged to general and administrative expense over the
approximate seven year vesting period. The deferred compensation is net of
certain forfeiture and performance assumptions (which will be re-evaluated
quarterly).

Note 14 -
Derivative Financial
Instruments
The
Company’s primary objective in using derivatives is 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. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the
Company had one qualifying interest rate swap outstanding, which was entered
into in March 2009, with a notional value of $9,636,000 and $9,832,000 at
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. In addition,
at September 30, 2009, the Company had one other qualifying interest rate swap
outstanding. The Company terminated the interest rate swap and the
loan agreement on this interest rate swap in October 2009 upon the sale of the
mortgaged property. The Company does not use derivatives for
trading or speculative purposes.
The
derivative agreement in existence at September 30, 2010 provides that if the
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which is a party to the 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 obligation. In
addition, the Company (but not any of its subsidiaries) is a credit support
provider and a party to the derivative agreement and if there is a default by
the Company on any of its indebtedness, a default can be declared on this
derivative obligation under the agreement to which the Company is a
party.

Fair Value of
Financial Instruments (Continued)
Cash and
cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet
for these instruments approximate their fair values.
Mortgages
payable: At September 30, 2010, the $198,310,000 estimated fair value of the
Company's mortgages payable is more than their carrying value by approximately
$2,105,000, assuming a blended market interest rate of 6% based on a five year
weighted average remaining term of the mortgages.
Line of
credit: The $27,800,000 carrying amount of the Company's line of credit, entered
into on May 26, 2010, approximates its fair value at September 30,
2010.
The fair
value of the Company’s mortgages and line of credit was estimated using other
observable inputs such as available market information and discounted cash flow
analysis based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with
similar terms and maturities.
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 measures the fair value of financial instruments 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, a fair value hierarchy 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 fair value 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.

Available-for-sale
securities
The
Company’s available-for-sale securities have a total cost of
$640,000. At September 30, 2010, unrealized gains on such securities
were $120,000 and unrealized losses were $116,000. The aggregate net unrealized
gain of $4,000 is included in accumulated other comprehensive income on the
balance sheet. Fair values are approximated based on current market
quotes from financial sources that track such securities. All of the
available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position are equity
securities and amounts are not considered to be other than temporary impairment
because the Company expects the value of these securities to recover and plans
on holding them until at least such recovery.
During
2010, the Company sold three corporate bonds for total gross proceeds of
$2,356,000 and recognized a total gain of $149,000 on the sales.
Derivative financial
instrument
Fair
values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including
discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. This
analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period
to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate
curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. At
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, this derivative is included in other
liabilities and other assets, respectively, on the consolidated balance
sheet.
Although
the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its
derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation
adjustments associated with it utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of
current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its
counterparty. However, as of September 30, 2010, the Company has
assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on
the overall valuation
of its derivative position and has determined that the credit valuation
adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its
derivative. As a result, the Company has determined that its
derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy.

New Accounting
Pronouncements
The FASB
issued updated consolidation accounting guidance 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. The updated guidance requires
an entity 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. The updated guidance was
effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. The Company has reevaluated
the accounting for all investments and noted that none represent variable
interest entities
in accordance with the updated consolidation guidance. The adoption did
not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition,
results of operations, or cash flows.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements which requires a number of additional disclosures regarding fair
value measurements, including the amount of transfers between Level 1 and 2 of
the fair value hierarchy, the reasons for transfers in or out of Level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy and activity for recurring Level 3 measures. In
addition, the amendments clarify certain existing disclosure requirements
related to the level at which fair value disclosures should be disaggregated and
the requirement to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs
used in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities classified as Level
2 or 3. These required disclosures were effective January1, 2010, 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 the Company on January 1, 2011 and early adoption is permitted.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The adoption did not have a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of
operations, or cash flows. See Note 15 for the related disclosures.

The properties are comprised of a 47,174 square foot supermarket and an adjacent
parking lot situated on an aggregate of 3.72 acres. The total purchase price of
$20,550,000 was paid through the assumption of an existing $13,000,000 first
mortgage encumbering one of the properties and the balance was paid in cash,
including $7,300,000 borrowed from the Company’s line of credit. The mortgage
bears interest at 6.1% per annum and matures in May 2016. Both
properties are leased to a single tenant pursuant to two separate, conterminous
long term net leases. In connection with the purchase, the Company
incurred real estate acquisition costs of approximately $180,000, of which
$103,000 is included in the accompanying statement of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the balance will be included in the
December 31, 2010 period.

Overview
We are a
self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. We
primarily own real estate that we net lease to tenants. As of
September 30, 2010, we owned 79 properties, one of which is a 50% tenancy in
common interest, and participated in four joint ventures which owned a total of
four properties. These 83 properties are located in 28
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.
We face a
variety of risks and challenges in our business, including the possibility that
our tenants may not be able to pay their obligations owing under their leases
and, upon termination of tenant leases, we may not be able to re-lease our
properties on terms favorable to us or at all. We manage the risk of our real
property portfolio by diversifying among types of properties and industries,
tenant mix, geography, and lease expiration dates. We manage the risk of tenant
non-payments through a variety of approaches, each tailored to the applicable
situation. Generally, based on our assessment of the credit risk
posed by a particular tenant and the tenant’s impact on our
portfolio, we monitor a tenant’s financial condition through one or more of the
following actions: reviewing tenant financial statements, obtaining other tenant
related financial information, regular contact with a tenant’s representative,
tenant credit checks and regular management reviews of our tenants and periodic
property visits.
21
We seek
to acquire properties throughout the United States that have locations,
demographics and other investment attributes that we believe to be
attractive. We believe that long-term leases provide a predictable
income stream over the term of the lease, making fluctuations in market rental
rates and in real estate values less significant in achieving our overall
investment objectives. Our goal is to acquire properties that are
subject to long-term net or ground leases that include periodic contractual
rental increases or rent increases based on increases in the consumer price
index. Periodic contractual rental increases provide reliable
increases in future rent payments and rent increases based on the consumer price
index provide protection against inflation. Historically, long-term
leases have made it easier for us to obtain longer-term, fixed-rate mortgage
financing with principal amortization, thereby moderating the interest rate risk
associated with financing or refinancing our property portfolio by reducing the
outstanding principal balance over time. Although we regard long-term
leases as an important element of our acquisition strategy, we may acquire a
property that is subject to a short-term lease when we believe the property
represents a good opportunity for recurring income and residual
value.
In 2010,
we acquired eleven properties for an aggregate purchase price of $62.3 million
and sold 2 properties for net proceeds of $4.1 million. While the uncertain
economic climate continues to present challenges (including concerns regarding
tenants’ ability to pay their lease obligations and the availability of
acceptable financing), we believe that there are attractive real property
acquisition opportunities, and we intend to continue to pursue such
opportunities.

Revenues
The
increase in rental income is primarily due to $578,000 and $1.5 million earned
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, from a
community shopping center we acquired in February 2010, of which $70,000 and
$336,000, respectively, represents real estate tax and expense reimbursements
from tenants. The increase in rental income is also due to $311,000
and $338,000 earned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010,
respectively, from eight properties we purchased between April 2010 and August
2010. There was also an increase in rental income due to lease
revisions.
22
In June
2009, we received a $1,905,000 lease termination payment from a retail tenant.
The lease termination fee was offset by the $121,000 write off of the entire
balance of the unbilled rent receivable and intangible lease asset related to
this property. There was no comparable fee income in
2010. This property was released effective November 9,
2009.
Operating
Expenses
A
significant component of the increases in general and administrative expenses
was the $200,000 increase in the annual fee payable pursuant to the compensation
and services agreement, of which $50,000 and $150,000 were recorded in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The nine
months ended September 30, 2010 also includes a $138,000 expense related to
professional fees incurred for financing activities. There were also increases
in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 relating to payroll, restricted stock and directors’ fees,
none of which was material on an individual basis. The three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009 included litigation and related expenses of
$70,000 and $126,000, respectively, which expenses were substantially
reduced in the corresponding 2010 periods and are not expected to
recur.
During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred $224,000 and
$738,000, respectively, of real estate acquisition expenses. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, $349,000 of such expenses related to the
purchase of a community shopping center acquired in February 2010, $274,000
related to the purchase of eight properties acquired between April 2010 and
August 2010 and $103,000 related to the purchase of two properties acquired in
October 2010. Because we did not acquire any properties in 2009,
there were no property acquisition expenses in the corresponding period in the
prior year.
The
increase in real estate expenses in the three and nine months ended September
30, 2010 results primarily from $71,000 and $357,000, respectively, of real
estate taxes and expenses at a community shopping center acquired in February
2010. The tenants at this property are contractually obligated to
reimburse us for a substantial portion of these expenses. The three
and nine months ended September 30, 2010 also include increases in repairs,
maintenance and other operating expenses at several properties.

The
decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures primarily
results from a decrease in income from a joint venture due to the sale of its
only property on April 30, 2010. The lease on this property expired April 30,
2010.
The
increase in interest expense is due to interest expense of $266,000 and $629,000
in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, on a
mortgage assumed in connection with the purchase in February 2010 of a community
shopping center. In addition, interest expense relating to our line of credit
increased by $212,000 and $384,000 during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 due to the increase, effective April 1, 2010, in the interest
rate charged thereunder. Interest expense of $49,000 and $112,000 in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, is attributable to a
refinanced mortgage. These increases in interest expense were partially offset
by the payoff in full of three mortgage loans aggregating $6.1 million between
July 2009 and January 2010, as well as the regular monthly principal
amortization of other mortgages.
The
decrease in amortization of deferred financing costs was primarily due to
accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs of $118,000 relating to a
mortgage loan that was refinanced during the nine months ended September 30,
2009.

Discontinued
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes the
results of operations and the gain on sale of two properties sold during the
three months ended September 30, 2010. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009, discontinued operations includes the results of operations
of ten properties, five of which were conveyed by us to the mortgagee in July
2009, three of which were sold during the year ended December 31, 2009 and two
of which were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2010. Included in
income from discontinued operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2009
is a $400,000 lease termination payment from a retail tenant that had been
paying its rent on a current basis, but vacated the property in 2006. In March
2009, we sold this property and recorded an impairment charge of $229,000 to
recognize the loss on the sale. The three and nine months ended September 30,
2009 also includes an $897,000 gain recognized in connection with the conveyance
of five of our properties to the mortgagee by deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure.
These properties had formerly been leased to Circuit City Stores Inc. which
filed for protection under federal bankruptcy laws and rejected the leases for
these five properties.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Our
capital sources include income from our operating activities, cash and cash
equivalents, available-for-sale securities, borrowings under our revolving
credit facility, refinancing existing mortgage loans and obtaining mortgage
loans secured by our unencumbered properties. Our available liquidity
at September 30, 2010 was approximately $20.6 million, including $7.8 million of
cash and cash equivalents, $644,000 of available-for-sale securities and $12.2
million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. After
giving effect to the acquisition of a Whole Food’s facility and to the financing
of one property subsequent to September 30, 2010, our available liquidity at
November 4, 2010 was approximately $16.6 million, including $7 million of cash
and cash equivalents, $692,000 of available-for-sale securities and $8.9 million
of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
25
Liquidity
and Financing
We expect
to meet our operating cash requirements (including dividend payments) with cash
flow from operations. We will require additional long term financing, whether in
the form of equity or debt, to pursue our acquisition strategy. In
furtherance thereof, we have filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to
facilitate access to the capital markets. No assurance can be given
that financing will be available on terms acceptable to us and the failure to
obtain additional financing will limit our growth.
At September 30,
2010, excluding mortgages payable of our unconsolidated joint ventures,
we had 33 outstanding mortgages payable secured by 49 properties, aggregating
approximately $196.2 million in principal amount. These mortgages are primarily
secured by first liens on individual real estate investments with an aggregate
carrying value of approximately $326 million, before accumulated depreciation.
The mortgages bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 5.44% to 8.8%, and
mature between 2011 and 2037.
A
mortgage loan matured on March 1, 2010 and the principal balance of $4,482,000
was paid in full on July 30, 2010. Another mortgage loan matured on April 1,
2010 with a principal balance of approximately $8,900,000. Effective August 1,
2010, the mortgage loan was restructured including a principal pay down of
$2,800,000 and an extension of the maturity date to August 1, 2012. Monthly
interest only payments at the existing rate of 8.03% are required.
We seek
to refinance existing mortgage loans on terms we deem acceptable, in order to
generate additional liquidity. Additionally, in the normal course of
our business, we sell properties when we determine that it is in our best
interests, which also generates additional liquidity. Further, since each of our
encumbered properties is subject to a non-recourse mortgage (with standard carve
outs for, among other things, environmental liabilities, the sale, financing or
encumbrance of the property in violation of loan documents, damage to property
as a result of intentional misconduct or gross negligence, failure to pay valid
taxes and other claims which could create liens on property), we may determine,
if our in-house evaluation of the market value of such property is substantially
less than the principal balance outstanding on the mortgage loan and if we
cannot negotiate a reduction in the principal balance or other accommodations
with the lender, to convey such property to the mortgagee in order to terminate
our mortgage and other obligations with respect to such property.
Credit
Facility
We can
borrow, on a revolving basis, up to $40 million pursuant to a line of credit
facility which matures March 31, 2012. Borrowings under the facility bear
interest at 90 day LIBOR plus 3%, with a minimum interest rate of 6% per annum
and there is an unused facility fee of ¼% per annum. The facility is guaranteed
by our subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties and is secured by the
outstanding equity of subsidiary entities. As of September 30 and November
4, 2010, there was $27.8 million and $31.1 million, respectively, outstanding
under the facility. We are in compliance with the covenants under this
facility.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We are
not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.
26
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
agreement. 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
September 30,
2010, we had one interest rate swap agreement outstanding that was
entered into March 2009. The fair value of our interest rate swap is
dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change
over time. At September 30, 2010, if there had been a 1% increase in
forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swap and net
unrealized loss on derivative instruments would have decreased by approximately
$323,000. If there had been a 1% decrease in forward interest rates,
the fair market value of the interest rate swap and net unrealized loss on
derivative instruments would have increased by approximately
$424,000. These changes would not have any impact on our net income
or cash.
From time
to time, we utilize interest rate swaps to limit interest rate
risk. Derivatives are used for hedging purposes rather than
speculation. We do not enter into interest rate swaps for trading
purposes.
Our
mortgage debt (excluding our mortgage subject to the interest swap agreement)
bears interest at fixed rates, 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 there is no foreseeable market risk because interest is charged at
the greater of (i) 90 day LIBOR plus 3% or (ii) 6% per annum. At
September 30, 2010, 90 day LIBOR plus 3% was approximately 3.3%, therefore, a 1%
increase or decrease would not have any impact on our interest
expense.
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 September 30, 2010
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 three
months ended September 30, 2010
that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
