PART I

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)


Item 1.  Business


General


Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. is a real estate investment trust or REIT that acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of real estate, primarily multi-tenant shopping centers and single-user net lease properties. As of December 31, 2005, our portfolio consisted of 271 properties wholly-owned by us or the wholly-owned properties, 17 properties of which we own between 45% and 95% or the consolidated joint venture properties and two additional joint venture properties which we also consolidate and classify as other joint venture properties.  The properties in our portfolio are located in 38 states and one Canadian province.  At December 31, 2005, the portfolio (excluding the other joint venture properties) consisted of 163 multi-tenant shopping centers and 125 free-standing single-user net lease properties containing an aggregate of approximately 41,000,000 square feet of gross leasable area or GLA, of which approximately 98% of the GLA was leased.  Our anchor tenants include nationally and regionally recognized grocers, discount retailers, financial companies, and other tenants who provide basic household goods and services.  Of our total annualized portfolio revenue as of December 31, 2005, approximately 59% is generated by anchor or credit tenants, including American Express, Zurich Insurance Company, Best Buy, Ross Dress for Less, Bed, Bath & Beyond, GMAC, Wal-Mart, Publix Supermarket, and several others.  The term "credit tenant" is subjective and we apply the term to tenants who we believe have a substantial net worth.


Subsequent discussion of our portfolio generally excludes the other joint venture properties as they are considered restricted assets. These assets are considered restricted because our joint venture partner is exclusively entitled to the economic benefits of the assets.


During the year ended December 31, 2005, we invested approximately $3,400,000 for the acquisition of 76 multi-tenant shopping centers and 101 single-user net lease properties containing a total GLA of approximately 20,900,000 square feet. See Item 2 for a more detailed description of these properties.  We also raised approximately $2,200,000 in investor proceeds and obtained approximately $2,000,000 in financing proceeds.


Also, during 2005 we completed our second public offering, raising a total of over $4,200,000 in our two offerings. Funds remaining from the capital raise are still in the process of being fully deployed into investment properties. Current stockholders can reinvest their distributions in our distribution reinvestment program or DRP.  Approximately 50% of our monthly distributions to stockholders are being reinvested through the DRP.  The total we expect to receive from the DRP at the current rate of investment is approximately $140,000 on an annual basis.  Since we leverage our properties at approximately 50%, the combination of DRP proceeds, together with financing proceeds would allow us to purchase approximately $280,000 in new properties each year.  The actual amount invested will likely be greater due to the availability of our current net cash and financing to be funded on properties we already own.  We cannot be sure that the current rate of reinvestment will continue, as investors have many alternatives available, which may be more attractive to them.


Business and Operating Strategies


Because we concluded our public offerings during 2005, management has begun to focus more of its efforts towards enhancing the value of our properties.  We are now in the process of identifying those properties which will benefit from redevelopment, including additions to existing space through planning techniques, working with tenants to extend leases while they improve their stores and developing available land which we own.   


We seek to provide an attractive return to our stockholders by taking advantage of our strong presence in many markets. We are able to accommodate the growth needs of tenants who are interested in working with one landlord in multiple locations. Because of our focused acquisition strategy, we possess large amounts of retail space in certain markets, thus allowing us to lease and re-lease space at favorable rental rates. Working with our property management companies, we focus on the needs and problems facing our tenants, so we can provide solutions whenever possible. Because of our size, we enjoy the benefits of purchasing goods and services in large quantities, thus creating cost savings and improving efficiency. The result of these activities, we believe, will lead to profitability and growth as we go forward.




-3-


Because we own over 41,000,000 square feet of GLA and continue to grow, day-to-day property management is a key element of our operating strategy. Our asset management philosophy includes working closely with our property managers to achieve the following goals:


§

Employ experienced, well trained property managers, leasing agents and collection personnel;


§

Actively manage costs and minimize operating expenses by centralizing management, leasing, marketing, financing, accounting, renovation and data processing activities;


§

Improve rental income and cash flow by aggressively marketing rentable space;


§

Emphasize regular maintenance and periodic renovation to meet the needs of tenants and to maximize long-term returns;


§

Maintain a diversified tenant base at our retail centers, consisting primarily of retail tenants providing basic consumer goods and services; and


§

Identify properties that will benefit from asset enhancement including renovation and development of land that we own.


Acquisition Strategies


Although we have concluded our public offerings, we continue to raise funds through financings, DRP proceeds and operations.  Therefore, management continues to focus on acquiring properties that meet our investment objectives.  We intend to continue to acquire and manage a diversified (by geographical location and by type and size of shopping centers) portfolio of real estate primarily improved for use as retail establishments, principally multi-tenant shopping centers and single-user net lease properties.  The retail centers we have acquired are located throughout the United States and one Canadian province.  Our portfolio will continue to consist of predominantly grocery and discount anchored multi-tenant shopping centers.  We will also continue to acquire real estate improved with other commercial facilities which provide goods and services as well as single-user net lease properties, which are either commercial or retail, including properties acquired in sale and leaseback transactions. A net lease property is one which is leased to a tenant who is responsible for the base rent and all costs and expenses associated with their occupancy including property taxes, insurance and repairs and maintenance.


During the acquisition process, to ascertain the value of an investment property, we take into consideration many factors which require difficult, subjective, or complex judgments to be made.  These judgments require us to make assumptions when valuing each investment property.  Such assumptions include projecting vacancy rates, rental rates, property operating expenses, capital expenditures, and debt financing rates, among other assumptions.  The capitalization rate is also a significant driving factor in determining the property valuation which requires judgment of factors such as market knowledge, historical experience, length of leases, tenant financial strength, economy, demographics, environment, property location, visibility, age, and physical condition, and investor return requirements, among others.  Furthermore, at the acquisition date, we require that every property acquired is supported by an independent appraisal.  All of the aforementioned factors are taken as a whole in determining the valuation.


Key elements of our acquisition strategy include:


·

Selectively acquiring diversified and well-located properties of the type described above.


·

Acquiring properties, in most cases, on an all-cash basis to provide us with a competitive advantage over potential purchasers who must secure financing simultaneously. We may, however, acquire properties subject to existing indebtedness if we believe this is in our best interest.  We intend to obtain mortgage financing concurrently or subsequent to the purchase.


·

Diversifying geographically by acquiring properties located primarily in major consolidated metropolitan statistical areas, in order to minimize the potential adverse impact of economic downturns in certain markets.

Financing Strategies


Generally, we have and will continue to acquire properties free and clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price of each property in cash. However, if it is determined to be in our best interest, we will, in some instances, incur indebtedness to acquire properties. With respect to properties purchased on an all-cash basis, we have and will continue to incur mortgage indebtedness subsequent to acquisition by obtaining loans secured by selected properties if favorable financing terms are available.  The proceeds from such loans are used to acquire additional properties.  We may also incur indebtedness to finance improvements to our properties. We anticipate that, in general, aggregate financings secured by all of our properties will not exceed 55% of their combined fair market value.  Our articles of incorporation provide that the aggregate amount of borrowing, in relation to our net assets, shall not, in the absence of a satisfactory showing that a higher level of borrowing is appropriate, exceed 300% of net assets. We employ financing strategies to take advantage of trends we anticipate with regard to interest rates. One such strategy is to use variable rate financing with the option to fix the rate at a later date. Our intention is to use variable rate financing on a small portion of our portfolio, resulting in a ratio of less than 20% of total debt.


We have also obtained a $100,000 unsecured line of credit. This line of credit gives us great flexibility in fulfilling our acquisition strategy, funding our development activities and maintaining overall liquidity to meet operating requirements, should the need arise.


Tax Status


We qualified and have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust or REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or the Code for the tax year ending December 31, 2005. Since we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to shareholders.   If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to Federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. We have one wholly-owned subsidiary that has elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary or TRS for Federal income tax purposes. A TRS is taxable on its net income at regular corporate tax rates. The income tax expense incurred as a result of the TRS does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


Competition


We continue to see intense competition for the types of properties in which we invest. In seeking new investment opportunities, we compete with other real estate investors, including pension funds, insurance companies, foreign investors, real estate partnerships, other real estate investment trusts, private individuals and other domestic real estate companies, some of which have greater financial resources than we do.  With respect to properties presently owned or to be owned by us, we compete with other owners of like properties for tenants.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete with such entities in developing, acquiring, and leasing activities in the future.


Our business is inherently competitive. Property owners, including us, compete on the basis of location, visibility, quality and aesthetic value of construction, volume of traffic, strength and name recognition of tenants and other factors. These factors combine to determine the level of occupancy and rental rates that we are able to achieve at our properties. Further, our tenants compete with other forms of retailing, including e-commerce, catalog companies and direct consumer sales.  We may, at times, compete with newer properties or those in more desirable locations. To remain competitive, we evaluate all of the factors affecting our centers and position them accordingly. For example, we may decide to focus on renting space to specific retailers who will complement our existing tenants and increase traffic. We believe we have achieved relatively high occupancy levels at our properties through our knowledge of the competitive factors in the

markets where we operate.


Business Risks


The retail industry has been affected in 2005 by rising energy costs, including gas prices, warmer than normal weather and a wrath of hurricanes.  As a byproduct of these external forces, the 2005 holiday season was a moderate one for the nation's retailers, with chains stores posting a 3.2% sales increase over December 2004.  This was short of the projected 4.2% growth.  Luxury stores led the way with 6.4% sales growth, wholesale clubs gained 5.2% in sales and department



-5-


stores gained 3.3% in sales over the previous holiday season.  Expectations for January 2006 are for same store sales to increase by 3.0% to 3.5% over January 2005.


While sustained consumer spending, spurred by low interest rates, has helped to maintain retail sales growth, changing demographics and consumer preferences have resulted in a fundamental shift in consumer spending patterns and the emergence of discount retail as a dominant category.  As a result of this trend, some conventional department stores are struggling and a number of local, regional and national retailers have been forced to voluntarily close their stores or file for bankruptcy protection. The loss of an anchor tenant or a major tenant or their inability to pay rent could have an adverse effect on the performance of a property and our business.


We continually monitor the sales trends and financial strength of all of our major tenants.  We currently are monitoring tenants which include Bombay, Pier 1 Imports, Bally's Fitness, Friedman's Jewelers, Krispy Kreme and certain video stores.  We are meeting with the heads of real estate of each of these retailers and are reviewing stores that are larger than their current format. Our hope is that we will be able to reduce our exposure and increase our rental stream by taking segments of these retailers’ spaces back and re-leasing at market rent. We believe that many of these locations are currently leased for rents that are below market and if we are able to take back any of these locations, we could receive a termination fee and have a leasing opportunity.  We use this strategy to maximize the profitability and minimize any exposure that we have for store closings. We do not expect store closings or bankruptcy reorganizations to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The tenants with which we have concerns represent less than 2% of our current annualized income stream.


Revenue from our properties depends on the amount of the tenants' retail revenue, making us vulnerable to general economic downturns and other conditions affecting the retail industry.  Some of the leases provide for base rent plus contractual base rent increases.  A number of the leases also include a percentage rent clause for additional rent above the base amount based upon a specified percentage of the sales the tenant generates.  As of December 31, 2005, 60 tenants paid percentage rent.  Under those leases which contain percentage rent clauses, the revenue from tenants may increase as the sales of the tenant increases.


We believe our risk exposure to potential future downturns in the economy is mitigated because the tenants at our current and targeted properties, to a large extent, consist or will consist of:  retailers who serve primary non-discretionary shopping needs, such as grocers and pharmacies; discount chains that can compete effectively during an economic downturn; and national tenants with strong credit ratings who can withstand a downturn. We believe that the diversification of our current and targeted tenant base and our focus on creditworthy tenants further reduces our risk exposure. Currently, our largest tenant is American Express, which has eight leases which represent approximately 2,597,095 square feet, or approximately 6.2% of the total GLA owned by us.  The annualized base rental income of these leases is approximately $25,319, or approximately 4.8% of the total annualized base rental income, based on our portfolio of properties as of February 21, 2006.


Employees


As of December 31, 2005, we did not have any direct employees.


Conflicts of Interest Policies


Our governing documents require a majority of our directors to be “independent,” as defined by the New York Stock Exchange. Further, any transactions between The Inland Group, Inc. or its affiliates, and us must be approved by a majority of our independent directors.


Environmental Matters


We believe that our portfolio of investment properties complies in all material respects with all federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. All of our investment properties have been subjected to Phase I or similar environmental audits at the time they were acquired. These audits, performed by independent consultants, generally involve a review of records and visual inspection of the property. These audits do not include soil sampling or ground water analysis. These audits have not revealed, nor are we aware of, any environmental liability that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our operations. These audits may not, however, reveal all



-6-


potential environmental liabilities. Further, the environmental condition of our investment properties may be adversely affected by our tenants, by conditions of nearby properties or by unrelated third parties.


Certifications


The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) the chief executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer certifications required pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 31.3 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1(a). Risk Factors


Set forth below are investment considerations that we believe are material to our investors.


General Investment Risks


Our common stock is not currently listed on an exchange or trading market and cannot be readily sold.

  There is currently no public trading market for the shares and we cannot assure investors that one will develop. We may never list the shares for trading on a national stock exchange or include the shares for quotation on a national market system.  The absence of an active public market for our shares could impair an investor’s ability to sell our stock at a profit or at all.  By September 15, 2008, our board of directors will determine whether it is in our best interests to apply to have the shares listed on a national stock exchange or included for quotation on a national market system if we meet the applicable listing requirements at that time.

There are many factors which affect distributions to stockholders.  Distributions are based principally on cash available from our properties, real estate securities, and other investments.  The amount of cash available for distributions is affected by many factors, such as our ability to buy properties, the yields on securities of other REITs which we invest in, and our operating expense levels, as well as many other variables.  Actual cash available for distributions may vary substantially from estimates.  We can give no assurance that we will be able to pay or maintain distributions or that distributions will increase over time.  Nor can we give any assurance that rents from the properties will increase, that the securities we buy will increase in value or provide increased dividends over time, or that future acquisitions of real properties or our investments in securities will increase our cash available for distributions to stockholders.  Our actual results may differ from the assumptions used by our board of directors in establishing the current distribution rate to stockholders.  Some of these factors are beyond our control, and a change in any one factor could adversely affect our ability to pay future distributions:

·

If one or more tenants defaults or terminates their lease, there could be a decrease or cessation of rental payments which would mean less cash available for distributions.



-7-


·

Cash available for distributions may be reduced if we are required to spend money to correct defects or to make improvements to properties.

·

Cash available for distributions may decrease if the assets we acquire have lower yields than expected.

·

There may be a delay in our purchase of real properties.  During that time, we may invest in lower yielding short term instruments, which could result in a lower yield on a stockholder’s investment.

·

Federal income tax laws require REITs to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to stockholders.  This limits the earnings which we may retain for corporate growth, such as property acquisition, development or expansion and makes us more dependent upon additional debt or equity financing than corporations which are not REITs.  If we borrow more funds in the future, more of our operating cash will be needed to make debt payments and cash available for distributions may therefore decrease.

·

In connection with future property acquisitions, we may issue additional shares of common stock or interests in other entities that own our properties.  We cannot predict the number of shares of common stock, units or interests which we may issue, or the effect that these additional shares might have on cash available for distributions to investors.  If we issue additional shares, they could reduce the cash available for distributions.

·

We make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to eliminate, or at least minimize, exposure to Federal income taxes and the nondeductible REIT excise tax.  Differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses and the effect of required debt payments could require us to borrow funds on a short term basis to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT.  

There are conflicts of interest between us and our affiliates.

  Our operation and management including acquisition of properties may be influenced or affected by conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our affiliates.  Our business manager/advisor and its affiliates are or will be engaged in other activities that will result in potential conflicts of interest with the services that the business manager/advisor and affiliates will provide to us.  Those affiliates could take actions that are more favorable to other entities than to us.  The resolution of conflicts in favor of other entities could have a negative impact on our financial performance. Specific conflicts of interest between us and our affiliates include:

·

Our business manager/advisor and its affiliates receive fees and other compensation based upon our investments and therefore our business manager/advisor and its affiliates may recommend that we make investments in order to increase their compensation.  Our business manager/advisor and its affiliates receive fees and other compensation based upon our investments.  They benefit by us retaining ownership of our assets and leveraging our assets, while investors may be better served by sale or disposition or not leveraging the assets.  In addition, our business manager/advisor's ability to receive fees and reimbursements depends on our continued investment in properties and in other assets which generate fees.  Our business manager/advisor receives fees based on the book value including acquired intangibles of the properties under management.  Our property managers receive fees based on the revenues from properties under management.  Therefore, our business manager/advisor and/or property managers may recommend that we purchase properties that generate fees for our business manager/advisor and property managers, but are not necessarily the most suitable investment for our portfolio.  In addition, our affiliates, who receive fees, including our business manager/advisor, may recommend that we acquire properties, which may result in our incurring substantive amounts of indebtedness.  Therefore, the interest of our business manager/advisor and its affiliates in receiving fees may conflict with our ability to earn income and may result in our incurring substantive amounts of indebtedness.  The resolution of this conflict of interest may adversely impact our cash flow and our ability to pay distributions.

·

There is competition for the time and services of our business manager/advisor and our business manager/advisor may not dedicate the time necessary to manager our business.  We rely on our business manager/advisor and its affiliates for our daily operation and the management of our assets. Our officers and other personnel of our business manager/advisor and its affiliates have conflicts in allocating their management time, services and functions among the real estate investment programs they currently service and any future real estate investment programs or other business ventures which they may organize or serve.  



-8-


Those personnel could take actions that are more favorable to other entities than to us.  The resolution of conflicts in favor of other entities could have a negative impact on our financial performance.

·

We do not have arm's-length agreements, which could contain terms which are not in our best interest.  Our agreements and arrangements with our business manager/advisor and property managers or any of its affiliates, including those relating to compensation, are not the result of arm's length negotiations.  These agreements may contain terms that are not in our best interest and would not otherwise be applicable if we entered into arm's-length agreements.  

We depend on our board of directors, business manager/advisor and property managers and losing those relationships could negatively affect our operations.

  Our board of directors has supervisory control over all aspects of our operations.  Our ability to achieve our investment objectives will depend to a large extent on the board's ability to oversee, and the quality of, the management provided by the business manager/advisor, the property managers, their affiliates and employees for day-to-day operations.  Therefore, we depend heavily on the ability of the business manager/advisor and its affiliates to retain the services of each of its executive officers and key employees.  However, none of these individuals has an employment agreement with the business manager/advisor or its affiliates.  The loss of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on us.  These individuals include Daniel L. Goodwin, Robert H. Baum, G. Joseph Cosenza, Robert D. Parks, Thomas P. McGuinness, Roberta S. Matlin and Brenda G. Gujral.

Our share repurchase program is limited to 5% of the weighted average number of shares of our stock outstanding during the prior calendar year and may be changed or terminated by us, thereby reducing the potential liquidity of a stockholder’s investment.

  In accordance with our share repurchase program, a maximum of 5% of the weighed average number of shares of our stock outstanding during the prior calendar year may be repurchased by us.  This standard limits the number of shares we can purchase.  Our board of directors also has the ability to change or terminate, at any time, our share repurchase program.  If we terminate or modify our share repurchase program or if we do not have sufficient funds available to repurchase all shares that our stockholders request to repurchase, then our stockholders' ability to liquidate their shares will be diminished.

General Real Estate Risks


There are inherent risks with real estate investments.

  All real property investments are subject to some degree of risk.  Equity real estate investments cannot be quickly converted to cash.  This limits our ability to promptly vary our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions.  Real property investments are also subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions or local conditions which reduce the demand for rental space.  Other factors also affect real estate values, including:

·

possible federal, state or local regulations and controls affecting rents, prices of goods, fuel and energy consumption and prices, water and environmental restrictions;

·

increasing labor and material costs; and

·

the attractiveness of the property to tenants in the neighborhood.

The yields available from equity investments in real estate depend in large part on the amount of rental income earned, as well as property operating expenses and other costs we incur.  If our properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet operating expenses, we may have to borrow amounts to cover fixed costs, and our cash available for distributions may be adversely affected.

Adverse economic conditions could reduce our income and distributions to investors.

  Our properties are primarily retail establishments. The economic performance of our properties could be affected by changes in local economic conditions.  Our performance is therefore linked to economic conditions in areas where we have acquired or intend to acquire properties and in the market for retail space generally.  Therefore, to the extent that there are adverse economic conditions in an area and in the market for retail space generally that impact the market rents for retail space, such conditions could result in a reduction of our income and cash available for distributions and thus affect the amount of distributions we can make to our stockholders.

In addition, we own and operate predominantly grocery and discount anchored retail centers.  To the extent that the investing public has a negative perception of the retail sector, the value of our common stock may be negatively impacted.

If our tenants are unable to make rental payments, if their rental payments are reduced, or if they terminate a lease, our financial condition and ability to pay distributions will be adversely affected.  We are subject to the risk that tenants, as well as lease guarantors, if any, may be unable to make their lease payments or may decline to extend a lease upon its expiration.  A default by a tenant, the failure of a guarantor to fulfill its obligations or other premature termination of a lease, or a tenant's election not to extend a lease upon its expiration, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to pay distributions.


Our financial condition and ability to make distributions may be adversely affected by the bankruptcy or insolvency, a downturn in the business, or a lease termination of a tenant that occupies a large area of the retail center (commonly referred to as an anchor tenant).  Any anchor tenant, a tenant that is an anchor tenant at more than one retail center, or a tenant of any of the single-user net lease properties may become insolvent, may suffer a downturn in business, or may decide not to renew its lease.  Any of these events would result in a reduction or cessation in rental payments to us and would adversely affect our financial condition.  A lease termination by an anchor tenant could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants whose leases permit cancellation or rent reduction if an anchor tenant's lease is terminated.  In certain properties where there are large tenants, other tenants may require that if certain large tenants or "shadow" tenants discontinue operations, a right of termination or reduced rent may exist.  In such event, we may be unable to re-lease the vacated space.  Similarly, the leases of some anchor tenants may permit the anchor tenant to transfer its lease to another retailer.  The transfer to a new anchor tenant could cause customer traffic in the retail center to decrease and thereby reduce the income generated by that retail center.  A transfer of a lease to a new anchor tenant could also allow other tenants to make reduced rental payments or to terminate their leases at the retail center.  If we are unable to re-lease the vacated space to a new anchor tenant, we may incur additional expenses in order to re-model the space to be able to re-lease the space to more than one tenant.


If a tenant claims bankruptcy, we may be unable to collect balances due under relevant leases.  Any or all of the tenants, or a guarantor of a tenant's lease obligations, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to Title 11 of the bankruptcy laws of the United States.  Such a bankruptcy filing would bar all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their properties, unless we receive an enabling order from the bankruptcy court.  Post-bankruptcy debts would be paid currently.  If a lease is assumed, all pre-bankruptcy balances owing under it must be paid in full.  If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have a general unsecured claim for damages.  If a lease is rejected, it is unlikely we would receive any payments from the tenant because our claim is capped at the rent reserved under the lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year or 15% of the remaining term of the lease, but not greater than three years, plus rent already due but unpaid.  This claim could be paid only in the event funds were available, and then only in the same percentage as that realized on other unsecured claims.  A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could delay efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude full collection of these sums.  Such an event could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments which would mean a reduction in our cash flow and the amount available for distributions to you.  In the event of a bankruptcy, we cannot assure stockholders that the tenant or its trustee will assume our lease.  If a given lease, or guaranty of a lease, is not assumed, our cash flow and the amounts available for distributions to stockholders may be adversely affected.

We may incur additional costs in acquiring or re-leasing properties.

  Some of the properties we acquire may be designed or built primarily for a particular tenant or a specific type of use.  If a tenant fails to renew its lease or defaults on its lease obligations, we may not be able to readily market the property to a new tenant without substantial capital improvements or remodeling, which may adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.

We may be restricted from re-leasing space.

  In some cases, tenant leases contain provisions giving the tenant the exclusive right to sell particular types of merchandise or provide specific types of services within the particular retail center, or limit the ability of other tenants to sell such merchandise or provide such services.  When re-leasing space after a vacancy is required, these provisions may limit the number and types of prospective tenants for the vacant space.  The failure to re-lease or to re-lease on satisfactory terms could result in a reduction of net income, funds from operations and cash available for distributions and thus affect the amount of distributions to stockholders.

Competition with third parties in acquiring properties will reduce our profitability and the return on an investment in our common stock.

  We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, many of which have greater resources than we do.  Larger REITs may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among



-10-


other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies.  In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investment properties may increase.  This will result in increased demand for these assets and therefore increased prices paid for them.  If we pay higher prices for properties, our profitability is reduced and investors will experience a lower return on their investment.

Our properties are subject to competition for tenants and customers.

  We have and intend to continue to acquire properties located in developed areas.  Therefore, there are numerous other retail properties within the market area of each of our properties which compete with our properties and which compete with us for tenants.  The number of competitive properties could have a material effect on our ability to rent space at our properties and the amount of rents charged.  We could be adversely affected if additional competitive properties are built in locations competitive with our properties, causing increased competition for customer traffic and creditworthy tenants.  This could result in decreased cash flow from tenants and may require us to make capital improvements to properties which we would not have otherwise made, thus affecting cash available for distributions, and the amount available for distributions to stockholders.

We may be unable to sell a property if or when we decide to do so.

  The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control.  We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us.  We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property.

We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold.  We cannot assure our investors that we will have funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements.

In acquiring a property, we may agree to restrictions that prohibit the sale of that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property.  These provisions would restrict our ability to sell a property.

If we invest in joint ventures, the objectives of our partners may conflict with our objectives.

  We may make investments in joint ventures or other partnership arrangements between us and our affiliates or with unaffiliated third parties.  Investments in joint ventures which own real properties may involve risks otherwise not present when we purchase real properties directly.  For example, our co-venturer may file for bankruptcy protection, may have economic or business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our interests or goals, or may take actions contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives.  Among other things, actions by a co-venturer might subject real properties owned by the joint venture to liabilities greater than those contemplated by the terms of the joint venture or other adverse consequences.

Real estate related taxes may increase and if these increases are not passed on to tenants, our net income will be reduced.

  Some local real property tax assessors reassess our properties as a result of our acquisition of the property.  Generally, from time to time, our property taxes increase as property values or assessment rates change or for other reasons deemed relevant by the assessors.  An increase in the assessed valuation of a property for real estate tax purposes will result in an increase in the related real estate taxes on that property.  Although some tenant leases may permit us to pass through such tax increases to the tenants for payment, there is no assurance that renewal leases or future leases will be negotiated on the same basis.  Increases not passed through to tenants will adversely affect our net income, cash available for distributions, and the amount of distributions to stockholders.

Construction and development activities expose us to risks such as cost overruns, carrying costs of projects under construction or development, availability and costs of materials and labor, weather conditions and government regulation.

  In connection with construction and development activities, we have employees of our affiliates perform oversight and review functions.  These functions include selecting sites, reviewing construction and tenant improvement design proposals, negotiating and contracting for feasibility studies, supervising compliance with local, state or federal laws and regulations, negotiating contracts, oversight of construction, accounting and obtaining financing.  We retain independent general contractors to perform the actual physical construction work on tenant improvements or the installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.  These activities expose us to risks inherent in construction and development, including cost overruns, carrying costs of projects under construction or development, availability and costs of materials and labor, adverse weather conditions and governmental regulation.

If we suffer losses that are not covered by insurance or that are in excess of insurance coverage, we could lose invested capital and anticipated profits.

  Each tenant is responsible for insuring its goods and premises and, in some circumstances, may be required to reimburse us for a share of the cost of acquiring comprehensive insurance for the



-11-


property, including casualty, liability, fire and extended coverage customarily obtained for similar properties in amounts which our business manager/advisor determines are sufficient to cover reasonably foreseeable losses.  Tenants on a net lease typically are required to pay all insurance costs associated with their space. Material losses may occur in excess of insurance proceeds with respect to any property as insurance may not have sufficient resources to fund the losses.  However, there are types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, which are either uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments.  Insurance risks associated with potential terrorism acts could sharply increase the premium we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims.  Additionally, mortgage lenders in some cases have begun to insist that specific coverage against terrorism be purchased by commercial property owners as a condition for providing mortgage loans.  It is uncertain whether such insurance policies will be available, or available at reasonable cost, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our potential properties.  In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses.  We cannot assure our stockholders that we will have adequate coverage for such losses.

The costs of compliance with environmental laws and other governmental laws and regulations may adversely affect our net income and the cash available for any distributions.

  All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety.  These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals.  Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or operators for the costs of investigation or remediation of contaminated properties, regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal.  Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at, on, under, or in its property.  In addition, the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent such property or to use such property as collateral for future borrowing.

Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates.  Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations, stricter interpretation of existing laws or the future discovery of environmental contamination may require material expenditures by us.  We cannot assure that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability, or that the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by the operations of the tenants, by the existing condition of the land, by operations in the vicinity of the properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or by the activities of unrelated third parties.

These laws typically allow liens to be placed on the affected property.  In addition, there are various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations which we may be required to comply with, and be subject to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance.

State and federal laws in this area are constantly evolving, and we intend to monitor these laws and take commercially reasonable steps to protect ourselves from the impact of these laws, including obtaining environmental assessments of each property acquired.  We cannot assure that such assessments will reveal all environmental liabilities or that a prior owner of a property did not create a material environmental condition not known to us.  We cannot predict what other environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted, or what environmental conditions may be found to exist in the future.  We cannot assure that our business, assets, results of operations, liquidity or financial condition will not be adversely affected by these laws, which may adversely affect cash available for distributions, and the amount of distributions to stockholders.

Financing Risks

We incur mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which reduce the funds available for distribution and increase the risk of loss since defaults may result in foreclosure.  In addition, mortgages sometimes include cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions that increase the risk that more than one property may be affected by a default.

  We incur or increase our mortgage debt by obtaining loans secured by our real properties to obtain funds to acquire additional real properties.  We may also borrow funds if necessary to satisfy the requirement that we distribute to stockholders as dividends at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, or otherwise as is necessary or advisable to



-12-


assure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  Currently, our aggregate borrowings secured by our properties are approximately 55% of the properties’ aggregate purchase prices.

We incur mortgage debt on a particular real property if we believe the property's projected cash flow is sufficient to service the mortgage debt.  However, if there is a shortfall in cash flow, then the amount available for distributions to stockholders may be affected.  In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by properties may result in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders and our loss of the property securing the loan which is in default.  For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage.  If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds.  We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entity that owns our properties.  In such cases, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity.  For any mortgages containing cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, there is a risk that more than one real property may be affected by a default.

If mortgage debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we will not be able to place financing on the properties, which could reduce distributions per share.  If we place mortgage debt on the properties, we run the risk of being unable to refinance the properties when the loans come due, or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms.  If interest rates are higher when the properties are refinanced, our net income could be reduced, which would reduce cash available for distribution to stockholders and may prevent us from borrowing more money.

We may acquire or finance properties with lock-out provisions which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.

  Lock-out provisions materially restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties.  These provisions affect our ability to turn our investments into cash and thus affect cash available for distributions to stockholders.  Lock-out provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness with respect to any properties, refinancing such indebtedness on a non-recourse basis at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness with respect to such properties.

Lock-out provisions could impair our ability to take actions during the lock-out period that would otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders and, therefore, may have an adverse impact on the value of the shares, relative to the value that would result if the lock-out provisions did not exist.  In particular, lock-out provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Taxation Risks

If we fail to maintain our REIT status, our distributions will not be deductible to us and our taxable income will be subject to taxation.  We have qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which affords us significant tax advantages.  The requirements for this qualification, however, are complex.  If we fail to continue to meet these requirements, our distributions will not be deductible to us and we will have to pay a corporate level tax on our taxable income.  This would substantially reduce our cash available to pay distributions and the yield on a stockholder’s investment.  In addition, tax liability might cause us to borrow funds, liquidate some of our investments or take other steps which could negatively affect our operating results.  Moreover, if our REIT status is terminated because of our failure to meet a technical REIT test, we would be disqualified from electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which REIT status is lost.

Even REITS are subject to federal and state income taxes.

  Even if we qualify and maintain our status as a REIT, we may become subject to federal income taxes and related state taxes.  For example, if we have net income from a "prohibited transaction," such income will be subject to a 100% tax.  We may not be able to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise taxes applicable to REITs.  We may also decide to retain income we earn from the sale or other disposition of our property and pay income tax directly on such income.  In that event, our stockholders would be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly.  However, stockholders that are tax-exempt, such as charities or qualified pension plans, would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability.  In addition, we may also be subject to state and local taxes on our income or property, either directly or at the level of the operating partnership or at the level of the other companies through which we indirectly own our assets.  We cannot assure stockholders that we will be able to continue to satisfy the REIT requirements.



-13-


Investors may have tax liability on distributions they elect to reinvest in common stock.  If an investor participates in our distribution reinvestment program, they will be deemed to have received, and for income tax purposes will be taxed on, the amount reinvested in common stock.  As a result, unless they are a tax-exempt entity, they may have to use funds from other sources to pay their tax liability on the value of the common stock received.

The annual statement of value that we will be sending to stockholders subject to ERISA and to certain other plan stockholders is only an estimate and may not reflect the actual value of our shares.

  The annual statement of value will report the value of each common stock based as of the close of our fiscal year.  No independent appraisals will be obtained and the value will be based upon an estimated amount we determine would be received if our properties and other assets were sold as of the close of our fiscal year and if such proceeds, together with our other funds, were distributed pursuant to liquidation.  However, the net asset value of each share of common stock is deemed to be $10 during the offerings and for the first three years following the termination of this offering.  Because this is only an estimate, we may subsequently revise any annual valuation that is provided.  We cannot assure that:

·

a value included in the annual statement could actually be realized by us or by our stockholders upon liquidation;

·

stockholders could realize that value if they were to attempt to sell their common stock; or

·

an annual statement of value would comply with any reporting and disclosure or annual valuation requirements under ERISA or other applicable law.  We will stop providing annual statements of value if the common stock becomes listed for trading on a national stock exchange or included for quotation on a national market system.

The majority of the revenues from our properties consists of rents received under long-term operating leases.  Some leases provide for the payment of fixed base rent paid monthly in advance, and for the reimbursement by tenants to us for the tenant's pro rata share of certain operating expenses including real estate taxes, special assessments, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance, management fees, and certain building repairs paid by the landlord and recoverable under the terms of the lease.  Under these leases, the landlord pays all expenses and is reimbursed by the tenant for the tenant's pro rata share of recoverable expenses paid.  Certain other tenants are subject to net leases which provide that the tenant is responsible for fixed based rent as well as all costs and expenses associated with occupancy.  Under net leases where all expenses are paid directly by the tenant rather than the landlord, such expenses are not included in the consolidated statements of operations.  Under net leases where all expenses are paid by the landlord, subject to reimbursement by the tenant, the expenses are included within property operating expenses and reimbursements are included in tenant recovery income on the consolidated statements of operations.

available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders


There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 2005.


PART II


Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters


Market Information


There is no established public trading market for our shares of common stock. The per share estimated value is deemed to be the offering price during the public offering periods of the shares, which was $10.00 per share.


We provide the following programs to facilitate investment in our shares and to provide limited liquidity for stockholders until such time as a market for the shares develops:


The distribution reinvestment program, or DRP, subject to certain share ownership restrictions, allows stockholders who have purchased shares in our offerings to automatically reinvest distributions by purchasing additional shares from us.  Such purchases under the DRP are not subject to selling commissions or the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance.  Participants may acquire shares under the DRP at a price equal to 95% of the  "market price" of a share on the date of purchase until such time (if ever) as the shares are listed on a national stock exchange or included for quotation on a national market system.  In the event of such listing or inclusion, shares purchased by us for the DRP will be purchased on such exchange or market at the then prevailing market price, and will be sold to participants at that price.


The share repurchase program, or SRP, subject to certain restrictions, may provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us. The prices at which shares may be sold back to us are as follows:


One year from the purchase date, at $9.25 per share;

Two years from the purchase date, at $9.50 per share;

Three years from the purchase date, at $9.75 per share; and

Four years from the purchase date, at the greater of $10.00 per share, or a price equal to 10 times our "funds available for distribution" per weighted average shares outstanding for the prior calendar year.


We will make repurchases under the SRP, if requested, at least once quarterly on a first-come, first-served basis.  Subject to funds being available, we will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to five percent (5%) of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.  Funding for the SRP will come exclusively from proceeds that we receive from the sale of shares under the DRP and such other operating funds, if any, as our board of directors, at its sole discretion, may reserve for this purpose.


Our board of directors, at its sole discretion, may choose to terminate the SRP after the end of the offering period, or reduce the number of shares purchased under the SRP, if it determines that the funds allocated to the SRP are needed for other purposes, such as the acquisition, maintenance or repair of properties, or for use in making a declared distribution. A determination by the board of directors to eliminate or reduce the SRP will require the unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors.


We cannot guarantee that the funds set aside for the SRP will be sufficient to accommodate all requests made each year.  If no funds are available for the SRP when repurchase is requested, the stockholder may: (i) withdraw the request; or (ii) ask that we honor the request at such time, if any, when funds are available.  Such pending requests will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis.


There is no requirement that stockholders sell their shares to us. The SRP is only intended to provide interim liquidity for stockholders until a liquidity event occurs, such as the listing of the shares on a national securities exchange, inclusion of



-17-


the shares for quotation on a national market system, or a merger with a listed company.  No assurance can be given that any such liquidity event will occur.


Shares purchased by us under the SRP will be canceled and will have the status of authorized but unissued shares.  Shares acquired by us through the SRP will not be re-issued unless they are first registered with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Act, and under appropriate state securities laws, or otherwise issued in compliance with such laws.

Options


Options to purchase an aggregate of 20,000 shares at an exercise price of $8.95 per share had been granted to the independent directors pursuant to the Independent Directors Stock Option Plan (options to purchase 3,000 shares as to each of the independent directors plus options for 500 shares each on the date of the first annual meeting and 500 shares each on the date of each annual meeting thereafter) as of December 31, 2005.  Such options were granted, without registration under the Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of the Act, as transactions not involving any public offering.  None of such options have been exercised.  Therefore, no shares have been issued in connection with such options.


Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities


We registered, pursuant to a registration statements under the Act, an initial public offering and a second offering or our offerings, on a best efforts basis of 500,000,000 shares at $10.00 per share, subject to discounts in certain cases; and up to 40,000,000 shares at $9.50 per share pursuant to our DRP. All dollar amounts are stated in thousands, except per share amounts.


As of December 31, 2005, we had sold the following securities in our offerings for the following aggregate offering prices:


*

421,963,424 

shares on a best efforts basis for $4,219,693;

*

15,006,596 

  shares pursuant to the DRP for $142,563; and

*

(1,562,999)

shares repurchased pursuant to the SRP for $14,488


The total of shares and gross offering proceeds, net of shares repurchased, from our offerings as of December 31, 2005 was 435,407,021 shares for $4,347,768. The above-stated number of shares sold and the gross offering proceeds received from such sales do not include the 20,000 shares purchased by the business manager/advisor for $200 preceding the commencement of the initial offering.


From September 17, 2003, which was the effective date of the initial offering, through December 31, 2005, we had incurred the following expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the registered securities:

The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report.


(a)

The net income (loss) per common share basic and diluted is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, respectively. The distributions per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from October 2, 2003 (first day shares were sold to the public) to December 31, 2003.  Our distributions of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for Federal income tax purposes are taxable to stockholders as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the stockholder's basis in the shares to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain (a return of capital).  The distributions in excess of earnings and profits will have the effect of deferring taxation of the amount of the distributions until the sale of the stockholder’s shares.  For the year ended December 31, 2005, $97,210 (or approximately 46% of $211,327 distributions paid in 2005) represented a return of capital.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, $24,544 (or approximately 45% of the $54,542 distributions paid in 2004) represented a return of capital. For the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, $358 (or 100% of the distributions paid in 2003) represented a return of capital due to the tax loss in 2003.  The balance of the distribution constitutes ordinary income. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. REIT taxable income does not include



-21-


net capital gains.  Under certain circumstances, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements.  Distributions are determined by our board of directors and are dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of funds available for distribution, our financial condition, any decision by the board of directors to reinvest funds rather than to distribute the funds, our capital expenditures, the annual distribution required to maintain REIT status under the Code, and other factors the board of directors may deem relevant.


(b)

One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by our operations. Cash generated from operations is not equivalent to our net income from continuing operations as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America or GAAP. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a standard known as "Funds from Operations" or "FFO" for short, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as us. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating properties, plus depreciation on real property and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest.  We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO because management believes that, subject to the following limitations, FFO provides a basis for comparing our performance and operations to those of other REITs.  The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity.  Items which are capitalized do not impact FFO, whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO.  Consequently, our presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. We use FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group.  FFO is not intended to be an alternative to  "Net Income" as an indicator of our performance nor to  "Cash Flows from Operating Activities" as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions.  FFO is calculated as follows:

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form 10-K constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.


The following discussion and analysis compares the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003. You should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this report. All dollar amounts are stated in thousands, except per share amounts.


Overview


We acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of real estate, principally multi-tenant shopping centers and single-user net lease properties.  At December 31, 2005, our portfolio (excluding the other joint venture properties as defined in Item 1) consisted of 163 multi-tenant shopping centers and 125 free-standing single-user net lease properties containing an aggregate of approximately 41,000,000 square feet of gross leasable area or GLA, of which approximately 98% of the GLA was leased.  Our anchor tenants include nationally and regionally recognized grocers, discount retailers, financial companies, and other tenants who provide basic household goods and services. We operate as a real estate investment trust or REIT for Federal income tax purposes.  Inland Western Retail Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc. or our business manager/advisor has been retained to manage, for a fee, our day-to-day affairs, subject to the supervision of our board of directors.


Our goal is to maximize the possible return to our stockholders through the acquisition, development, redevelopment, creation of strategic joint ventures and management of the related properties consisting of neighborhood and community multi-tenant shopping centers and single-user net lease properties. We actively manage our assets by leasing and releasing space at favorable rates, controlling costs, maintaining strong tenant relationships and creating additional value through redeveloping and repositioning our centers. We distribute funds generated from operations to our stockholders, and intend to continue distributions in order to maintain our REIT status.


Selecting properties with high quality tenants and mitigating risk through diversifying our tenant base is at the forefront of our acquisition strategy. We believe our strategy of purchasing properties, primarily in the fastest growing areas of the country and focusing on acquisitions with tenants who provide basic goods and services will produce stable earnings and growth opportunities in future years.


Of our 288 properties, 177 were acquired in 2005 and 103 were acquired in 2004. Our results of operations show dramatic increases in both 2004 and 2005. We have further opportunities to grow and improve our performance through potential joint ventures, use of DRP proceeds, lines of credit and other financial resources which we believe are available to us. We will continue to attempt to avail ourselves of the opportunities to fulfill our acquisition strategy.


Of the 288 properties we had purchased as of December 31, 2005, 128 were located west of the Mississippi River, which is our primary area of interest.  These 128 properties equate to approximately 43% of our GLA and approximately 45% of our annualized base rental income as of December 31, 2005. The remaining 160 properties purchased were located east of the Mississippi River. We purchased these 160 properties because we had the opportunity to take advantage of our business manager/advisor's acquisition pipeline of properties located east of the Mississippi River which generally continue to have rates of return above those located in the western United States. We expect this trend to continue into the foreseeable future. Our strategy in purchasing these properties was to deploy stockholder funds promptly and generate income for us as early as possible, while investing in properties which met our acquisition criteria.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


General


The following disclosure pertains to critical accounting policies and estimates we believe are most "critical" to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations which require our most difficult, subjective or complex



-23-


judgments.  These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Critical accounting policies discussed in this section are not to be confused with accounting principles and methods disclosed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or GAAP.  GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates.  This discussion addresses our judgment pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties known which were taken into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.


Acquisition of Investment Property


We allocate the purchase price of each acquired investment property between land, building and improvements, acquired above market and below market leases, in-place lease value, any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms and the value of customer relationships, if any. The allocation of the purchase price is an area that requires judgment and significant estimates.  We use the information contained in the independent appraisal obtained upon acquisition of each property as the primary basis for the allocation to land and building and improvements. We determine whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar investment properties.  We allocate a portion of the purchase price to the estimated acquired in-place lease costs based on estimated lease execution costs for similar leases as well as lost rent payments during an assumed lease up period when calculating as if vacant fair values.  We consider various factors including geographic location and size of leased space.  We also evaluate each significant acquired lease based upon current market rates at the acquisition date and we consider various factors including geographical location, size and location of leased space within the investment property, tenant profile, and the credit risk of the tenant in determining whether the acquired lease is above or below market lease costs.  If an acquired lease is determined to be above or below market, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to such above or below acquired lease costs based upon the present value of the difference between the contractual lease rate and the estimated market rate. For below market leases with fixed rate renewals, renewal periods are included in the calculation of below market in-place lease values. The determination of the discount rate used in the present value calculation is based upon the "risk free rate."   This discount rate is a significant factor in determining the market valuation which requires our judgment of subjective factors such as market knowledge, economics, demographics, location, visibility, age and physical condition of the property.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards or SFAS No. 144: Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we perform a quarterly analysis to identify impairment indicators to ensure that each investment property's carrying value does not exceed its fair value. If an impairment indicator is present, the undiscounted cash flow valuation analysis performed by us is based upon many factors which require difficult, complex or subjective judgments to be made.  Such assumptions include projecting vacancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses, lease terms, tenant financial strength, economy, demographics, property location, capital expenditures and sales value among other assumptions to be made upon valuing each property.   This valuation is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole.  Based upon our judgment, no impairment has been warranted in any year of our operation.


Cost Capitalization and Depreciation Policies

Our policy is to review all expenses paid and capitalize any items exceeding $5 which are deemed to be an upgrade or a tenant improvement.  These costs are capitalized and are included in the investment properties classification as an addition to buildings and improvements.


Buildings and improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for buildings and improvements, and 15 years for site improvements and most other capital improvements. Acquired in-place lease costs, customer relationship value, other leasing costs, and tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization expense. The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired above market costs and acquired below market costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease as an adjustment to net rental income.  



-24-


Cost capitalization and the estimate of useful lives requires our judgment and includes significant estimates that can and do change based on our process which periodically analyzes each property and on our assumptions about uncertain inherent factors.


Revenue Recognition


We commence revenue recognition on our leases based on a number of factors.  In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset.  Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date.  The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins.  If we are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete.  If we conclude that we are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduces revenue recognized over the term of the lease.  In these circumstances, we begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct their own improvements.  We consider a number of different factors to evaluate whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes.  These factors include:


whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;


whether the tenant or landlord retain legal title to the improvements;


the uniqueness of the improvements;


the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and


who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.


The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment.  In making that determination, we consider all of the above factors.  No one factor, however, necessarily determines our conclusion.


We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.  We anticipate collecting these amounts over the terms of the leases as scheduled rent payments are made.


Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate tax and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred.  We make certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. Should the actual results differ from our judgment, the estimated reimbursement could be negatively affected and would be adjusted appropriately.


We record lease termination income if there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Upon early lease termination, we provide for losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.

In conjunction with certain acquisitions, we receive payments under master lease agreements pertaining to certain non-revenue producing spaces either at the time of, or subsequent to the purchase of some of our properties.  Upon receipt of the payments, the receipts are recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the related properties rather than as rental income.  These master leases were established at the time of purchase in order to mitigate the potential negative effects of loss of rent and expense reimbursements.  Master lease payments are received through a draw of funds escrowed at the time of purchase and may cover a period from three months to three years.  These funds may be released to either us or the seller when certain leasing conditions are met.  Restricted cash includes funds received by third party escrow agents, from sellers, pertaining to master lease agreements.  We record such escrows as both an asset and a corresponding liability, until certain leasing conditions are met.



-25-



Staff Accounting Bulletin or SAB 101: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, determined that a lessor should defer recognition of contingent rental income (i.e. percentage/excess rent) until the specified target (i.e. breakpoint) that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.  We record percentage rental revenue in accordance with the SAB 101.


Marketable Securities and Other Investments


All publicly traded equity securities are classified as "available for sale" and carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.  Private investments, for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for at cost.  Declines in the value of public and private investments that management determines are other than temporary are recorded as a provision for loss on investments.


To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, we consider whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.  Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end and forecasted performance of the investee.


Partially-Owned Entities


If we determine that we are an owner in a variable interest entity within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, revision to Interpretation No. 46: Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, and that our variable interest will absorb a majority of the entity's expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the entity's expected residual return if they occur, or both, then we will consolidate the entity.  Additionally, we consolidate entities (in the absence of other factors when determining control) when we own over 50% of the voting shares of another entity.

Rental Income, Tenant Recovery Income and Other Property Income. Rental income consists of basic monthly rent and percentage rental income due pursuant to tenant leases.  Tenant recovery and other property income consist of property operating expenses recovered from the tenants including real estate taxes, property management fees and insurance. Rental income increased $310,362 and all additional property income increased $77,024.  The increase was due primarily to 290 properties (including the other joint venture properties) owned and operated for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 112 properties (including one other joint venture property) for the year ended December 31, 2004.


Property Operating Expenses (including Real Estate Taxes).  Property operating expenses consist of property management fees and property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, costs of owning and maintaining shopping centers, insurance, and maintenance to the exterior of the buildings and the parking lots.  The increase was due primarily to 290 properties (including the other joint venture properties) owned and operated for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 112 properties (including one other joint venture property) for the year ended December 31, 2004. The events of hurricanes during 2005 in the southeastern parts of the United States have not materially affected the operations of our properties located within this region. Minor damage occurred at some properties, with the total cost of damages estimated to range from $100 to $150.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation expense increased $111,204 due to depreciation on 290 properties (including the other joint venture properties) compared to 112 properties (including one other joint venture property) owned during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in amortization expense of $34,676 was due to the application of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 resulting in the amortization of intangible assets of approximately $516,000 and $250,000 and the amortization of loan and leasing fees of approximately $34,000 and $12,000 during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.


General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and computerized information services costs reimbursed to affiliates for maintaining our accounting and investor records, affiliates common share purchase discounts, insurance, postage, printing costs and fees paid to accountants and lawyers.  The increase of $5,956 in general and administrative expenses resulted from dramatically increased services required as we grew our portfolio of investment properties and our investor base.


Dividend Income.  Dividend income includes dividends earned on our marketable securities and other investments.  The increase of $7,561 from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005 is due to the significant increase in funds that we invested in securities and other investments during 2005.  The balance of our investments in marketable securities and other investments rose from $1,287 at December 31, 2004 to $408,693 at December 31, 2005.


Interest Income.  Interest income includes income earned on our operating bank accounts, short-term cash investments and notes receivable.  The increase of $16,975 was due a significant increase in the amount of cash that we had invested in short-term investments and notes receivable during 2005.



-27-



Other Income. Other income includes miscellaneous non-operating income earned by us.  The increase of $192 during 2005 resulted from increased miscellaneous fees and other income generated as our portfolio of properties and investor base grew.


Interest Expense. The increase was due to the financing on 269 properties (including the other joint venture properties) compared to 97 properties (including one other joint venture property) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as well as increasing interest rates throughout 2005.

Rental Income, Tenant Recovery Income and Other Property Income.  Rental income consists of monthly rent and percentage rental income due pursuant to tenant leases.  Tenant recovery and other property income consists of property operating expenses recovered from the tenants including real estate taxes, property management fees and insurance.  The increases in rental income and tenant recoveries were primarily due to the additional space acquired throughout the two-year period (detailed in Note 1) and rental rate increases of some tenants per the terms of their leases.  Tenant recoveries increased by 23.0% from 2004, compared to a 20.4% overall increase in property operating expenses and real estate taxes.


Property Operating Expenses (Including Real Estate Taxes).  Property operating expenses consists of property management fees and property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, cost of owning and maintaining shopping centers, insurance and maintenance to the exterior buildings and the parking lots.  In addition to the earnout additions detailed in Note 1, these properties saw an increase in property operating expenses of 38.2% due to a number of other factors.  Primarily the increases were due to costs of maintaining or repairing centers in our second year of ownership, whereas such expenditures were not necessary in the first year.  Examples of these expenditures include repairing or repaving asphalt, repainting parking lot lines, additional landscaping, and higher than expected costs for snow removal.  Additionally, expenses paid for property management fees increased due to increased rental revenue from 2004 to 2005.  Finally, in 2005 the Company wrote off or accrued for uncollectible rents by $98 more than in 2004.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


General


Our principal demands for funds have been and will continue to be for property acquisitions, for the payment of operating



-29-


expenses and distributions, and for the payment of interest on outstanding indebtedness. Generally, cash needs for items other than property acquisitions have been met from operations, and property acquisitions have been funded by public offerings of our shares of common stock and financing proceeds. This will continue in the short term as we continue to deploy the remaining offering proceeds and receive financing proceeds. The timing between the receipt of capital and financing proceeds and our purchase of properties may result in a delay in the benefits to stockholders of returns generated from property operations.  Our business manager/advisor continues to evaluate potential additional property acquisitions and Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc., one of the affiliates of our sponsor, engages in negotiations with sellers on our behalf.  After a purchase contract is executed which contains specific terms, the property will not be purchased until due diligence, which includes review of the title insurance commitment, an appraisal and an environmental analysis, is successfully completed. In some instances, the proposed acquisition still requires the negotiation of final binding agreements, which may include financing documents.  During this period, we may decide to temporarily invest any unused proceeds from the offering in certain investments that could yield lower returns than other investments, such as the acquisition of properties. These lower returns may affect our ability to make distributions.


Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from our DRP, secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of properties, strategic joint venture arrangements, as well as undistributed funds from operations.  We anticipate that during the upcoming year we will (i) acquire additional existing multi-tenant shopping centers and single-user net lease properties, (ii) begin to develop additional shopping center sites and (iii) continue to pay distributions to stockholders, and each is expected to be funded mainly from cash flows from operating activities, financings or other external capital resources available to us. We continue to explore ways to manage our cash on hand in order to enhance returns on our investments.


Our leases typically provide that the tenant bears responsibility for substantially all property costs and expenses associated with ongoing maintenance and operation, including utilities, property taxes and insurance. In addition, in some instances our leases provide that the tenant is responsible for roof and structural repairs.  Certain of our properties are subject to leases under which we retain responsibility for certain costs and expenses associated with the property.  We anticipate that capital demands to meet obligations related to capital improvements with respect to properties will be minimal for the foreseeable future (as many of our properties have recently been constructed or rehabbed) and can be met with funds from operations and working capital. We believe that our current capital resources (including cash on hand) and anticipated financings are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.


Liquidity


Offering.  As of December 31, 2005, subscriptions for a total of 436,990,020 shares had been received from the public for both offerings, which include 20,000 shares issued to the business manager/advisor and 15,006,596 shares distributed pursuant to the DRP as of December 31, 2005.  As a result of such sales, we received a total of $4,362,456 of gross offering proceeds as of December 31, 2005. We concluded sales of shares under the public offerings in 2005 and deregistered the remaining unissued shares under the second offering.  Shares will continue to be sold pursuant to the DRP.  We are in the process of deploying the remaining proceeds from the offerings into investment properties.


Mortgage Debt.  Mortgage loans outstanding as of December 31, 2005 were $3,858,078 and had a weighted average interest rate of 4.83%.  Of this amount, $3,500,472 had fixed rates ranging from 3.96% to 8.02% and a weighted average fixed rate of 4.80% at December 31, 2005. Excluding the mortgage debt assumed from sellers at acquisition and debt required to be consolidated through other joint venture investments, the highest fixed rate on our mortgage debt was 5.71%.  The remaining $357,606 represented variable rate loans with a weighted average interest rate of 5.21% at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, scheduled maturities for our outstanding mortgage indebtedness had various due dates through December 2035.


During the period from January 1, 2006 through February 21, 2006 we obtained mortgage financing on properties that we purchased during 2005 and 2006 totaling $153,290 that require monthly payments of interest only and bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 4.44% to 5.69% per annum.


Line of Credit.  We have an unsecured line of credit facility with a bank for up to $100,000 with an optional unsecured borrowing capacity of $150,000, for a total unsecured borrowing capacity of $250,000.  The facility had an initial term of one year with two one-year extension options, with an annual variable interest rate. On October 27, 2005, we paid a fee to our lender to extend our line of credit for an additional year under the line of credit agreement's first extension option. The extension period will end in December 2006. The funds from this line of credit may be used to provide liquidity from the



-30-


time a property is purchased until permanent debt is placed on that property.  The line of credit requires interest only payments monthly at the rate equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate or LIBOR plus up to 190 basis points depending on our leverage ratio. LIBOR ranged from 2.40% to 4.39% during the quarter ended December 31, 2005.  We are also required to pay, on a quarterly basis, an amount ranging from .15% to .25%, per annum, on the average daily undrawn funds under this line.  The line of credit requires compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, minimum net worth requirements, distribution limitations and investment restrictions. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, we were in compliance with such covenants. There was no outstanding balance on the line as of December 31, 2005 or 2004.


Stockholder Liquidity.  We provide the following programs to facilitate investment in our shares and to provide limited, interim liquidity for stockholders until such time as a market for the shares develops:


The DRP, subject to certain share ownership restrictions, allows stockholders who have purchased shares in our offerings to automatically reinvest distributions by purchasing additional shares from us.  Such purchases under the DRP are not subject to selling commissions or the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance.  Participants may acquire shares under the DRP at a price equal to 95% of the  "market price" of a share on the date of purchase until such time (if ever) as the shares are listed on a national stock exchange or included for quotation on a national market system.  In the event of such listing or inclusion, shares purchased by us for the DRP will be purchased on such exchange or market at the then prevailing market price, and will be sold to participants at that price.  As of December 31, 2005, we had issued 15,006,596 shares pursuant to the DRP for an aggregate amount of $142,562.


Subject to certain restrictions, the SRP provides existing stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us at the following prices:


One year from the purchase date, at $9.25 per share;

Two years from the purchase date, at $9.50 per share;

Three years from the purchase date, at $9.75 per share; and

Four years from the purchase date, at the greater of $10.00 per share, or a price equal to 10 times our "funds available for distribution" per weighted average shares outstanding for the prior calendar year.


Shares purchased by us will not be available for resale.  As of December 31, 2005, 1,562,999 shares have been repurchased for a total of $14,488.


Capital Resources


We expect to meet our short-term operating liquidity requirements generally through our net cash provided by property operations.  We also expect that our properties will generate sufficient cash flow to cover our operating expenses plus pay a monthly distribution on our weighted average shares outstanding.  Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to our portfolio.


We believe that we should place mortgage debt on or leverage our properties at approximately 50-55% of their value.  We also believe that we can borrow at the lowest overall cost of funds or interest rate by placing individual financing on each of our properties.  Accordingly, mortgage loans generally have been placed on each property at the time that the property is purchased, or shortly thereafter, with the property solely securing the financing.


During the year ended December 31, 2005, we closed on mortgage debt with a principal amount of $2,081,937 on our wholly-owned and consolidated joint venture properties.  In addition, we consolidated one new mortgage in the amount of $30,800 in connection with one of our other joint venture properties. All new loans, with the exception of two, represented fixed rate loans which bear interest rates between 4.30% and 7.48%. The variable rate loans bear interest at rates of 30-day LIBOR plus 76 basis points and LIBOR plus 155 basis points. We also paid off $35,742 of mortgage debt on four properties with variable interest rates ranging between 4.16% and 4.81% at the time of the payoff.


We have entered into interest rate lock agreements with various lenders to secure interest rates on mortgage debt on properties we currently own or plan to purchase in the future.  We have outstanding rate lock deposits in the amount of $9,068 as of December 31, 2005 which are applied as credits to the mortgage fundings as they occur.  These agreements lock interest rates from 4.64% to 5.69% for periods of 60 days on approximately $731,000 in principal of which approximately $448,000 has been allocated as of December 31, 2005.



-31-



Although the loans we closed are generally non-recourse, occasionally, when it is deemed to be advantageous, we may guarantee all or a portion of the debt on a full-recourse basis or cross-collateralize loans.  Individual decisions regarding interest rates, loan-to-value, fixed versus variable-rate financing, maturity dates and related matters are often based on the condition of the financial markets at the time the debt is incurred, which conditions may vary from time to time.


Distributions are determined by our board of directors with the advice of our business manager/advisor and are dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of funds available for distribution, flow of funds, our financial condition, any decision by our board of directors to reinvest funds rather than to distribute the funds, our capital expenditures, the annual distribution required to maintain REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code and other factors the board of directors may deem relevant.


The following table provides a reconciliation of cash flows provided by operations to cash available before distributions:

Statement of Cash Flows Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2005 to Year Ended December 31, 2004


Cash Flows From Operating Activities


Cash flows provided by operating activities were $204,315 and $60,495 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which is due primarily to net income from property operations. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due to additional revenues generated from the operation of 290 properties (including the other joint venture properties) owned as of December 31, 2005, compared to 112 properties (including one other joint venture property) owned as of December 31, 2004.

We also generated $2,043,836 and $1,653,523 from the issuance of new mortgages secured by our investment properties. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we also generated $81,498 through the purchase of securities on margin. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we generated $90,000 and $165,000 from funding on the line of credit, and $90,000 and $170,000 was paid off on the line of credit, respectively. We paid $26,404 and $16,613 for loan fees and $211,327 and



-32-


$54,542 in distributions to our stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  The sponsor advanced us amounts to pay a portion of the 2004 distributions until funds available for distribution were sufficient to cover distributions. We repaid $3,523, representing the full amount of that advance during the year ended December 31, 2005.


Statement of Cash Flows Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2004 to the Period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003


Cash Flows From Operating Activities


Cash flows provided by operating activities were $60,495 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $724 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.  The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the additional rental revenues and income generated from the operations of 112 properties (including one other joint venture property) owned during the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to eight properties owned during the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.


Cash Flows From Investing Activities


Cash flows used in investing activities were $3,240,030 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $133,425 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.  The cash flows used in investing activities were primarily used for the acquisition of 104 properties (including one other joint venture property) and eight properties for $3,201,247 and $127,196 during the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, respectively.


Cash Flows From Financing Activities


Cash flows provided by financing activities were $3,356,378 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $197,082 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.  We generated proceeds from the sale of shares, net of offering costs paid and shares repurchased, of approximately $1,774,231 and $166,552, respectively. We generated  $1,653,523 and $29,627 from the issuance of new mortgages secured by our investment properties. We generated $165,000 and $5,000 from funding on the line of credit, the full amount of which was paid off in 2004.  We paid $16,613 and $4,023 for loan fees and approximately $54,542 and $358 in distributions to our stockholders.


As of February 21, 2006, we had approximately $275,000 available for investment in additional properties.  As of February 21, 2006 we are considering the acquisition of approximately $428,000 in properties.  We are currently in the process of obtaining financings on properties which have been purchased, as well as certain of the properties which we anticipate purchasing.  It is our intention to finance each of our acquisitions either at closing or subsequent to closing.  As a result of the intended financings and funds remaining from the public offerings, we believe that we will have sufficient resources to acquire these properties and future acquisition opportunities which may arise.


We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations.  Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs.  To achieve our objectives we borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates through interest rate lock agreements with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to current market fixed rates at the time of conversion.  


Effects of Transactions with Related and Certain Other Parties


Our business manager/advisor contributed $200 to our capital for which it received 20,000 shares of common stock.


Services Provided by Affiliates of the Business Manager/Advisor.  As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, we had incurred $457,007 and $234,014 of offering costs for both the initial public offering and the second offering, of which $444,566 and $175,509, respectively, was paid or accrued to affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of our offerings, our business manager/advisor guaranteed payment of all public offering expenses (excluding sales commissions, the marketing contribution and the due diligence expense allowance) in excess of 5.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering or gross offering proceeds or all organization and offering expenses (including selling commissions) which together exceed 15%



-33-


of gross offering proceeds.  As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, offering costs did not exceed the 5.5% and 15% limitations.


Our business manager/advisor and its affiliates were entitled to reimbursement for salaries and expenses of employees of our business manager/advisor and its affiliates relating to the offerings.  In addition, an affiliate of our business manager/advisor was entitled to receive selling commissions, the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance from us in connection with the offering.  Such costs were offset against the stockholders' equity accounts. Such costs totaled $444,566 and $175,509, of which $177 and $2,880 remained unpaid at December 31, 2005 and 2004.


Our business manager/advisor and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for general and administrative costs relating to our administration and the acquisition of properties. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 through December 31, 2003, we incurred $4,528, $1,543 and $194 of these costs, respectively. Of these costs, $1,120 and $957 remained unpaid as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.


An affiliate of our Business Manager/Advisor provides investment advisory services related to us related to our securities investments for an annual fee. The fee is incremental based upon the aggregate amount of assets invested. Based upon the amounts of assets that we had invested at December 31, 2005, this fee was equal to .75% of the aggregate assets invested. We incurred fees totaling $536 for the year ended December 31, 2005. $100 of this amount remained unpaid at December 31, 2005. No such fees were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2004 or the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003.


An affiliate of our business manager/advisor provides loan servicing to us for an annual fee.  Prior to May 1, 2005, the agreement allowed for annual fees totaling .03% of the first $1 billion in mortgage balance outstanding and .01% of the remaining mortgage balance, payable monthly. Effective May 1, 2005, if the number of loans exceeds 100, a monthly fee will be charged in the amount of 190 dollars per month, per loan being serviced. If the amount of loans being serviced are less than 100, then the amount per month, per loan increases to 225 dollars.  Such fees totaled $534 and $141 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $1 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003. $42 remained unpaid as of December 31, 2005. None remained unpaid as of December 31, 2004.


We use the services of an affiliate of our business manager/advisor to facilitate the mortgage financing that we obtained on some of the properties purchased. We pay the affiliate .2% of the principal balance of mortgage loans obtained.  Such costs are capitalized as loan fees and amortized over the respective loan term.  During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we paid loan fees totaling $5,049 and $3,475, respectively, to this affiliate. No amounts remained unpaid as of December 31, 2005 or 2004.


We may pay an advisor asset management fee of not more than 1% of our average invested assets to our business manager/advisor. Our average invested asset value is defined as the average of the total book value, including acquired intangibles, of our real estate assets invested in equity interests plus our loans receivable secured by real estate, before reserves for depreciation, reserves for bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves. We compute our average invested assets by taking the average of these values at the end of each month for which we are calculating the fee.  The fee is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 1/4 of 1% of our average invested assets as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter.  Based upon the maximum allowable advisor asset management fee of 1% of our average invested assets, maximum advisor asset management fees of $54,933, $14,971 and $152 were allowed for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, respectively.  Our business manager/advisor has agreed to forego any fees allowed but not taken during those periods.  For any year in which we qualify as a REIT, our advisor must reimburse us for the following amounts if any: (1) the amounts by which our total operating expenses, the sum of the advisor asset management fee plus other operating expenses, paid during the previous fiscal year exceed the greater of: (i) 2% of our average assets for that fiscal year, or (ii) 25% of our net income for that fiscal year; plus (2) an amount, which will not exceed the advisor asset management fee for that year, equal to any difference between the total amount of distributions to stockholders for that year and a 6% minimum annual return on the net investment of stockholders. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we accrued fees totaling $20,925, $3,000 of which remained unpaid as of December 31, 2005.  For the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, we neither paid nor accrued such fees because our business manager/advisor agreed to forego any fees for those time periods.


The property managers, entities owned principally by individuals who are affiliates of our business manager/advisor, are entitled to receive property management fees totaling 4.5% of gross operating income, for management and leasing

services.  We incurred property management fees of $20,686, $5,382 and $17, for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, respectively.  None remained unpaid as of December 31, 2005 or 2004.


We established a discount stock purchase policy for our affiliates and affiliates of our business manager/advisor that enables the affiliates to purchase shares of common stock at either $8.95 or $9.50 a share depending on when the shares are purchased.  We sold 276,628, 605,060 and 59,497 shares of common stock to affiliates and recognized an expense related to these discounts of $219, $427 and $62 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, respectively.


As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, we were due funds from our affiliates for costs paid by us on their behalf in the amount of $3,493 and $654, respectively.


During the fourth quarter of 2005, we entered into a subscription agreement with Minto Builders (Florida), Inc. referred to as MB REIT.  Under this agreement, we may purchase up to 920,000 newly issued series C preferred shares at a purchase price of $1,276 per share.  If Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., (an affiliate) referred to as Inland American REIT, does not satisfy their obligations under their agreement with MB REIT, we may be required to purchase series C preferred shares from MB REIT in an amount equal to approximately $300,000. MB REIT has the right to redeem any series C preferred shares it issues to us with the proceeds of any subsequent capital contributed by Inland American REIT.  MB REIT is required to redeem any and all outstanding series C preferred shares held by us by December 31, 2006.  The series C preferred shares entitles us to an annual dividend equal to 7.0% on the face amount of the series C preferred shares payable monthly.  As of December 31, 2005, we had purchased 175,551 series C preferred shares for a total amount of $224,003.  Due to the lack of influence that we have over the operating and financial policies of the investee, this investment is accounted for under the cost method in which investments are recorded at their original cost. We earned $2,108 of dividends on this investment during the year ended December 31, 2005, all of which remained unpaid as of that date.


We entered into a fee arrangement with Inland American REIT whereby we are paid for guarantying customary non- recourse carve out provisions of Inland American REIT's financings until such time as Inland American REIT reaches a net worth of $300,000.  The fee arrangement calls for a fee of $50 annually for loans equal to and in excess of $50,000 and $25 for loans less than $50,000.


On September 28, 2005, an affiliate of ours purchased a single-user net lease property in Pearland, Texas subject to an existing mortgage which we had previously funded on the property in the amount of $7,391.  In addition, on that date, we funded an additional amount of $1,346 on the loan to the affiliate, bringing the total amount funded by us to $8,737.  The total loan amount represented 100% of the purchase price of the property plus accrued interest on the previous loan balance.  The entity which owns the property was considered a variable interest entity and we were considered the primary beneficiary as defined in FIN 46 (R).  Therefore, this entity was consolidated by us until December 28, 2005, at which time the loan was paid off in full including accrued interest.


On October 7, 2005, an affiliate of ours acquired a freestanding office building leased to the General Services Administration (GSA) for the U.S. Joint Force Command.  We provided the initial financing of approximately $24,300 for the affiliate to acquire the property.  The loan was repaid in full including accrued interest on December 6, 2005.


During 2004, our sponsor advanced us amounts to pay a portion of distributions to our stockholders until funds available for distribution were sufficient to cover the distributions.  Our sponsor forgave $2,369 of these amounts during the second quarter of 2004 and these funds were no longer due. As of December 31, 2004, we owed funds to our sponsor in the amount of $3,523 for repayment of the funds advanced for payment of distributions. These funds were repaid in their entirety during 2005 and no funds were due to our sponsor as of December 31, 2005. No funds were advanced during 2005.

The table includes interest payments to which we are contractually obligated under long term debt agreements.


We lease land under non-cancelable leases at certain of the properties expiring in various years from 2024 to 2096.  The property attached to the land will revert back to the lessor at the end of the lease.


Contracts and Commitments


We have acquired several properties which have earnout components, meaning that we did not pay for portions of these properties that were not rent producing at the time of acquisition.  We are obligated, under certain agreements, to pay for those portions when the tenant moves into its space and begins to pay rent.  The earnout payments are based on a predetermined formula. Each earnout agreement has a time limit regarding the obligation to pay any additional monies. The time limits generally range from one to three years. If at the end of the time period allowed certain space has not been leased and occupied, we will own that space without any further payment obligation. Based on pro forma leasing rates, we may pay as much as $176,896 in the future as retail space covered by earnout agreements is occupied and becomes rent producing.


We have entered into two mortgage note agreements, two construction loan agreements and two other installment note agreements in which we have committed to fund up to a total of $167,199. Each loan requires monthly interest payments with the entire principal balance due at maturity.  The combined receivable balance at December 31, 2005 was $100,687.  Therefore, we may be required to fund up to an additional $66,512 on these loans.


As part of our subscription agreement with MB REIT, we may be obligated to purchase up to approximately $300,000 of series C preferred shares of that entity.  As of December 31, 2005, we had purchased series C preferred shares totaling $224,003.  Therefore, we may be required to purchase up to $75,997 in additional shares.


As of December 31, 2005, we had 10 irrevocable letters of credit outstanding related to loan fundings against earnout spaces at certain properties.  Once we purchase the remaining portion of these properties and meet certain occupancy requirements, the letters of credit will be released. The balance of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2005 is $52,030.


We have entered into interest rate lock agreements with various lenders to secure interest rates on mortgage debt on properties we currently own or plan to purchase in the future.  We have outstanding rate lock deposits in the amount of $9,068 as of December 31, 2005 which will be applied as credits to the mortgage fundings as they occur.  These agreements lock interest rates from 4.64% to 5.69% for periods of 60 days on approximately $731,000 in principal of which $448,000 has been allocated as of December 31, 2005.


We are currently considering acquiring 20 properties for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $428,000.  Our decision to acquire each property generally depends upon no material adverse change occurring relating to the property, the tenants or in the local economic conditions, and our receipt of satisfactory due diligence information including appraisals, environmental reports and lease information prior to purchasing the property.

 

Subsequent Events


We issued 2,697,234 shares of common stock pursuant to the DRP and repurchased 238,246 shares of common stock through the SRP from January 1 through February 21, 2006, resulting in a total of 437,886,009 shares of common stock outstanding at February 21, 2006.

We paid distributions of $23,767 and $23,383 to our stockholders in January and February 2006, respectively.


We acquired the following five properties during the period January 1 to February 21, 2006.  The respective acquisitions are summarized in the table below.

We are obligated under earnout agreements to pay for certain tenant space in our existing properties after the tenant moves into its space and begins paying rent.  During the period from January 1 to February 21, 2006, we funded earnouts totaling $15,688 at 10 of our existing properties.


During the period from January 1 to February 21, 2006, we funded a total of $6,163 on outstanding construction loans.


We invested $20,696 in marketable securities during the period from January 1 to February, 21, 2006.


We purchased 31,348 shares of MB REIT series C preferred shares for $40,000 during the period from January 1 to February 21, 2006.


Impact of Recent Accounting Principles


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153: Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured on the fair value of assets exchanged. It eliminates the exceptions for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The statement is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


Emerging Issues Task Force or EITF Issue No. 04-5: Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity when the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, was ratified by the FASB in June 2005. At issue is what rights held by the limited partner(s) preclude consolidation in circumstances in which the sole general partner would consolidate the limited partnership in accordance with U.S. generally accepted



-38-


accounting principles. The assessment of limited partners' rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by the sole general partner should be made when an investor becomes the sole general partner and should be reassessed if (a) there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners, (b) the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests, or (c) there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. This consensus applies to limited partnerships or similar entities, such as limited liability companies that have governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership. This Issue is effective no later than for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and as of June 29, 2005 for new or modified arrangements. We have not and do not expect that we will be required to consolidate any of our current unconsolidated investments nor will this EITF Issue have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


In June 2005, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 04-10: Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments tht do not meet the Quantitative Thresholds.  The EITF provides clarification regarding SFAS No. 131: Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.  The consensus states that operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds can be aggregated only if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles provided in SFAS No. 131, the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments share a majority of the aggregation criteria listed in SFAS No. 131.  This should be applied for fiscal years ending after September 15, 2005.  The corresponding information for earlier periods, including interim periods, should be restated unless it is impractical to do so.  Early application of the consensus is permitted.  The adoption of this consensus did not have a significant impact on our segment disclosure.


In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation or FIN No. 47: Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.  This interpretation clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS No. 143: Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.  Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event.  This interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation.  This interpretation is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.  The adoption of this interpretation did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.


Inflation


For our multi-tenant shopping centers, inflation is likely to increase rental income from leases to new tenants and lease renewals, subject to market conditions.  Our rental income and operating expenses for those properties owned, or to be owned and operated under net leases, are not likely to be directly affected by future inflation, since rents are or will be fixed under those leases and property expenses are the responsibility of the tenants.  The capital appreciation of single-user net lease properties is likely to be influenced by interest rate fluctuations.  To the extent that inflation determines interest rates, future inflation may have an effect on the capital appreciation of single-user net lease properties.  As of December 31, 2005, we owned 125 single-user net lease properties.


Item 7 (a). Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations.  Our interest rate risk management objectives will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs.  To achieve our objectives we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates through interest rate lock agreements with the lowest margins available and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates.


We have entered into interest rate lock agreements with various lenders to secure interest rates on mortgage debt on properties we currently own or plan to purchase in the future.  We have outstanding rate lock deposits in the amount of $9,068 as of December 31, 2005 which will be applied as credits to the mortgage fundings as they occur.  These agreements lock interest rates from 4.64% to 5.69% for periods of 60 days on approximately $731,000 in principal of which $448,000 has been allocated as of December 31, 2005.


We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our properties.  To the extent we do, we are exposed to credit risk and market risk.  Credit risk is the failure of the



-39-


counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract.  When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us.  When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not possess credit risk.  It is our policy to enter into these transactions with the same party providing the financing, with the right of offset.  In the alternative, we will minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.  Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates.  The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.


With regard to variable rate financing, we assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.  We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both of our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions.  The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.


The fair value of our debt approximates its carrying amount as of December 31, 2005.


Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts and weighted average interest rates by year and expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

We had $439,788 of variable rate debt with an average interest rate of 5.14% as of December 31, 2005.  An increase in the variable interest rate on this debt constitutes a market risk.  If interest rates increase by 1%, based on debt outstanding as of December 31, 2005, interest expense increases by approximately $4,398 on an annual basis.


The table incorporates only those interest rate exposures that exist as of December 31, 2005.  It does not consider those interest rate exposures or positions that could arise after that date. The information presented herein is merely an estimate and has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the interest rate exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that time, and future changes in the level of interest rates.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule III.  These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.


We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 27, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.:


We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.  


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


In our opinion, management's assessment that Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Inland Western Retail Real Estate Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).


We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 3, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003 and related financial statement schedule, and our report dated February 27, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and related financial statement schedule.

INLAND WESTERN RETAIL REAL ESTATE TRUST, INC.
(A Maryland Corporation)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)


 (1)  Organization and Basis of Accounting


Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (the "Company") was formed on March 5, 2003 to acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of real estate, primarily multi-tenant shopping centers and single-user net lease properties. The Company's Advisory Agreement provides for Inland Western Retail Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc. (the "Business Manager/Advisor"), an affiliate of the Company, to be the Business Manager/Advisor to the Company.


The Company, through two public offerings, on a best efforts basis, sold a total of 421,983,424 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $4,219,893.  In addition, as of December 31, 2005, the Company had issued 15,006,596 shares through its distribution reinvestment program ("DRP") at $9.50 per share for $142,563 and had repurchased a total of 1,562,999 shares through its share repurchase program ("SRP") at prices ranging from $9.25 to $9.50 per share for an aggregate cost of $14,488.  As a result, the Company has realized total net offering proceeds, before offering costs of $4,347,968 as of December 31, 2005.


The Company is qualified and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for Federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 2003.  Since the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to Federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and Federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary that has elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for Federal income tax purposes. A TRS is taxable on its net income at regular corporate rates. The income tax expense incurred as a result of the TRS does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture investments.  Wholly-owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies ("LLCs") and limited partnerships ("LPs").  The effects of all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.


The Company consolidates certain property holding entities and other subsidiaries that it owns less than a 100% equity interest if the entity is a variable interest entity and the Company is the primary beneficiary (as defined in FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) 46(R): Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, as revised). The Company has ownership interests ranging between 45% and 95% in the LLCs or LPs which own the following properties: Gateway Village, Boulevard at the Capital Centre, Towson Circle, Reisterstown Road Plaza, Tollgate Marketplace, Chantilly Crossing, Gloucester Town Center, Home Depot Center, Home Depot Plaza, Century III Plaza, Southlake Town Square - Building 3C, Crown Theater, Wilton Square, Mid-Hudson Center, Lowe's/Bed, Bath & Beyond Plaza, Stop N Shop - Beekman, Market at Polaris and Rave Theater - Houston. These entities are considered variable interest entities as defined in FIN 46(R) and the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. Therefore, these entities are consolidated by the Company. All of the LLC or LP agreements contain put/call provisions which grant the right to the outside owners and the Company to require each LLC or LP to redeem the ownership interest of the outside owners during future periods. In instances where outside ownership interests are subject to put/call arrangements requiring settlement for fixed amounts, the LLC or LP is treated as a 100% owned subsidiary by the Company with the amount due the outside owner reflected as a financing and included within other financings in the accompanying consolidated

financial statements.  Interest expense is recorded on such liabilities in amounts generally equal to the preferred returns due to the outside owners as provided in the LLC or LLP agreements.


The Company has a 60.9% ownership interest in, and is the controlling member of the LLC which owns Cardiff Hall East Apartments.  The other members' interests in the property are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


The Company has a 75% tenancy in common ownership in North Plaza Shopping Center. The other partners' interests in the property are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


The Company has a 99% ownership interest in Colonnade Lender, LLC, which has issued a mortgage note secured by real property in Florida. The other members' interests in the entity are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


Cardiff Hall East Apartments, North Plaza Shopping Center, and the mortgage note held by Colonnade Lender, LLC, are considered restricted assets. These assets are considered restricted because the Company's joint venture partner is exclusively entitled to the economic benefits of the assets. All income/loss from these assets is allocated to the Company's joint venture partner.


Minority interest is adjusted for additional contributions and distributions to minority holders as well as the minority holders' share of the net earnings or losses of each respective entity.


Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 and 2003 financial statements to conform to the 2005 presentation.


(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Revenue Recognition: The Company commences revenue recognition on its leases based on a number of factors.  In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset.  Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date.  The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins.  If the Company is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete.  If the Company concludes it is not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduces revenue recognized over the term of the lease.  In these circumstances, the Company begins revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct their own improvements.  The Company considers a number of different factors to evaluate whether it or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes.  These factors include:


whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;


whether the tenant or landlord retain legal title to the improvements;


the uniqueness of the improvements;


the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and


who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)


The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment.  In making that determination, the Company considers all of the above factors.  No one factor, however, necessarily determines our conclusion.


Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate tax and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred.  The Company makes certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period.


The Company records lease termination income if there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Upon early lease termination, the Company provides for losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.


Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, determined that a lessor should defer recognition of contingent rental income (i.e. percentage/excess rent) until the specified target (i.e. breakpoint) that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.  The Company records percentage rental revenue in accordance with the SAB 101.


In conjunction with certain acquisitions, the Company receives payments under master lease agreements pertaining to certain non-revenue producing spaces either at the time of, or subsequent to the purchase of some of the Company's properties.  Upon receipt of the payments, the receipts are recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the related properties rather than as rental income.  These master leases were established at the time of purchase in order to mitigate the potential negative effects of loss of rent and expense reimbursements.  Master lease payments are received through a draw of funds escrowed at the time of purchase and generally cover a period from three months to three years.  These funds may be released to either the Company or the seller when certain leasing conditions are met.  Restricted cash includes funds received by third party escrow agents from sellers pertaining to master lease agreements.  The Company records the third party escrow funds as both an asset and a corresponding liability, until certain leasing conditions are met. These amounts are recorded as restricted cash and restricted cash liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.


Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements purchased with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions.  The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.  The Company believes that the risk is not significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions' non-performance.


Marketable Securities and Other Investments:  All publicly traded equity securities are classified as "available for sale" and carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.  Private investments, for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for at cost.  Declines in the value of public and private investments that management determines are other than temporary are recorded as a provision for loss on investments.

To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.  Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end and forecasted performance of the investee.


Real Estate: Real estate acquisitions are recorded at costs less accumulated depreciation. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.


The Company allocates the purchase price of each acquired investment property between land, building and improvements, acquired above market and below market leases, in-place lease value, any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms and the value of the customer relationships, if any. The allocation of the purchase price is an area that requires judgment and significant estimates.  The Company uses the information contained in the independent appraisal obtained upon acquisition of each property as the primary basis for the allocation to land and building and improvements. The Company determines whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar investment properties.  The Company allocates a portion of the purchase price to the estimated acquired in-place lease costs based on estimated lease execution costs for similar leases as well as lost rent payments during an assumed lease-up period when calculating as if vacant fair values.  The Company considers various factors including geographic location and size of leased space.  The Company also evaluates each significant acquired lease based upon current market rates at the acquisition date and considers various factors including geographical location, size and location of leased space within the investment property, tenant profile, and the credit risk of the tenant in determining whether the acquired lease is above or below market lease costs.  If an acquired lease is determined to be above or below market, the Company allocates a portion of the purchase price to such above or below acquired lease costs based upon the present value of the difference between the contractual lease rate and the estimated market rate. For below market leases with fixed rate renewals, renewal periods are included in the calculation of below market in-place lease values. The determination of the discount rate used in the present value calculation is based upon the "risk free rate." This discount rate is a significant factor in determining the market valuation which requires the Company's judgment of subjective factors such as market knowledge, economics, demographics, location, visibility, age and physical condition of the property.


The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired in-place lease intangibles is amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization expense. The Company incurred amortization expense pertaining to acquired in-place lease intangibles of $41,877, $9,924 and $52 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, respectively.


The portion of the purchase price allocated to customer relationship value is amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization expense.  The Company incurred amortization expense pertaining to customer relationship value of $249 for the year ended December 31, 2005. No amortization expense was incurred related to customer relationship value for the year ended December 31, 2004 or the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003.


The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired above market lease costs and acquired below market lease costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease as an adjustment to rental income and over the respective renewal period for below market lease costs with fixed rate renewals. Amortization pertaining to the above market lease costs of $7,219, $3,119 and $5 was applied as a reduction to rental income for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, respectively. Amortization pertaining to the below market lease costs of $12,714, $4,703 and $15 was applied as an increase to rental income for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, respectively.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight line method.  Building and improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for building and improvements and 15 years for site improvements and most other capital improvements. Tenant improvements and leasing fees are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization expense.


Loan fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related loans.


Differences between the carrying amounts of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and the Company's equity in the underlying assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the joint venture assets to which such differences are allocated.


In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144: Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company performs a quarterly analysis to identify impairment indicators to ensure that each investment property's carrying value does not exceed its fair value. If an impairment indicator is present, the undiscounted cash flow valuation analysis performed by the Company is based upon many factors which require difficult, complex or subjective judgments to be made.  Such assumptions include projecting vacancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses, lease terms, tenant financial strength, economy, demographics, property location, capital expenditures and sales value among other assumptions to be made upon valuing each property.   This valuation is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole.  Based upon the Company's judgment, no impairment was warranted as of December 31, 2005 or 2004.


Partially-Owned Entities:   If the Company determines that it is an owner in a variable interest entity within the meaning of FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) 46(R): Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, as revised and that its variable interest will absorb a majority of the entity's expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the entity's expected residual return if they occur, or both, then it will consolidate the entity.  Additionally, the Company consolidates entities (in the absence of other factors when determining control) when it owns over 50% of the voting shares of another entity.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)


Notes Receivable: Notes receivable relate to real estate financing arrangements and bear interest at a market rate based on the borrower's credit quality and are recorded at face value.  Interest is recognized over the life of the note.  The Company requires collateral for the notes.


A note is considered impaired pursuant to SFAS No. 114: Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  Pursuant to SFAS No. 114, a note is impaired if it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest contractually due. The impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note's effective interest rate. The Company does not accrue interest when a note is considered impaired. When ultimate collectibility of the principal balance of the impaired note is in doubt, all cash receipts on the impaired note are applied to reduce the principal amount of the note until the principal has been recovered and are recognized as interest income, thereafter. No notes receivable were impaired as of December 31, 2005 or 2004.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under the lease agreements.  The Company also maintains an allowance for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents.  This receivable arises from revenue recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease agreements.  Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates.


Rental Expense:  Rental expense associated with land that the Company leases under non-cancelable operating leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease.  The difference between rental expenses incurred on a straight-line basis and cash rent paid under the provisions of the lease agreement is recorded as a deferred liability and is included as a component of prepaid rental income and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


Restricted Escrows: Restricted escrows primarily consist of lenders' escrows and funds restricted through joint venture arrangements.


Stock Options: The Company applies the fair value method of accounting as prescribed by SFAS No. 123: Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation for its stock options granted.  Under this method, the Company reports the value of granted options as a charge against earnings ratably over the vesting period.


Fair Value of Debt: The carrying amount of the Company's debt approximates fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgages payable by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Company's lenders. The carrying amount of the Company's other financial instruments approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.


New Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153: Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured on the fair value of assets exchanged. It eliminates the exceptions for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The statement is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 04-5: Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity when the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, was ratified by the FASB in June 2005. At issue is what rights held by the limited partner(s) preclude consolidation in circumstances in which the sole general partner would consolidate the limited partnership in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The assessment of limited partners' rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by the sole general partner should be made when an investor becomes the sole general partner and should be reassessed if (a) there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners, (b) the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests, or (c) there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. This consensus applies to limited partnerships or similar entities, such as limited liability companies that have governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership. This Issue is effective no later than for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and as of June 29, 2005 for new or modified arrangements. The Company has not and does not expect that it will be required to consolidate any of its current unconsolidated investments nor will this EITF Issue have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.


In June 2005, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 04-10: Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments that do not meet the Quantitative Thresholds.  The EITF provides clarification regarding SFAS No. 131: Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.  The consensus states that operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds can be aggregated only if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles provided in SFAS No. 131, the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments share a majority of the aggregation criteria listed in SFAS No. 131.  This should be applied for fiscal years ending after September 15, 2005.  The corresponding information for earlier periods, including interim periods, should be restated unless it is impractical to do so.  Early application of the consensus is permitted.  The adoption of this consensus did not have a significant impact on the Company's segment disclosure.


In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN No. 47: Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.  This interpretation clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS No. 143: Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.  Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event.  This interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation.  This interpretation is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.  The adoption of this interpretation did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, the Company incurred $4,528, $1,543 and $194 of these costs, respectively.  Of these costs, $1,120 and $957 remained unpaid as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and are included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


An affiliate of the Business Manager/Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Company related to the Company’s securities investments for an annual fee. The fee is incremental based upon the aggregate amount of assets invested. Based upon the Company’s assets invested at December 31, 2005, the fee was equal to .75% of aggregate assets invested.

Effective May 1, 2005, if the number of loans exceeds 100, a monthly fee will be charged in the amount of 190 dollars per month, per loan being serviced. If the amount of loans being serviced are less than 100, then the amount per month, per loan increases to 225 dollars. Such fees totaled $534, $141 and $1 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, respectively. $42 remained unpaid as of December 31, 2005 and is included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  None remained unpaid as of December 31, 2004.

The Company may pay an advisor asset management fee of not more than 1% of the average invested assets to its Business Manager/Advisor. Average invested asset value is defined as the average of the total book value, including acquired intangibles, of the Company's real estate assets plus the Company's loans receivable secured by real estate, before reserves for depreciation, reserves for bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves. The Company computes the average invested assets by taking the average of these values at the end of each month for which the fee is being calculated.  The fee is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 1/4 of 1% of the Company's average invested assets as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter. Based upon the maximum allowable advisor asset management fee of 1% of the Company's average invested assets, maximum fees of $54,933, $14,971 and $152 were allowed for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, respectively.  The business Manager/Advisor has agreed to forego any fees allowed but not taken during those periods.

amounts if any: (1) the amounts by which total operating expenses, the sum of the advisor asset management fee plus other operating expenses, paid during the previous fiscal year exceed the greater of: (i) 2% of average assets for that fiscal year, or (ii) 25% of net income for that fiscal year; plus (2) an amount, which will not exceed the advisor asset management fee for that year, equal to any difference between the total amount of distributions to stockholders for that year and a 6% minimum annual return on the net investment of stockholders. The Company accrued fees to its Business Manager/Advisor totaling $20,925 for the year ended December 31, 2005. $3,000 remained unpaid as of December 31, 2005 and is included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets.  The Business Manager/Advisor agreed to forego any additional fees for 2005. The Company neither paid nor accrued such fees for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003 because the Business Manager/Advisor agreed to forego such fees.


The property managers, entities owned principally by individuals who are affiliates of the Business Manager/Advisor, are entitled to receive property management fees totaling 4.5% of gross operating income, for management and leasing services.  The Company incurred property management fees of $20,686, $5,382 and $17 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003.  None remained unpaid as of December 31, 2005 or 2004.


The Company established a discount stock purchase policy for affiliates of the Company and the Business Manager/Advisor that enables the affiliates to purchase shares of common stock at a discount at either $8.95 or $9.50 per share depending on when the shares are purchased. The Company sold 276,628, 605,060 and 59,497 shares of common stock to affiliates and recognized an expense related to these discounts of $219, $427 and $62 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.


As of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company was due funds from affiliates for costs paid by the Company on their behalf in the amount of $3,493 and $654, respectively.


During the fourth quarter of 2005,, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Minto Builders (Florida), Inc. ("MB REIT").  Under this agreement, the Company may purchase up to 920,000 newly issued series C preferred shares at a purchase price of $1,276 per share.  If Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., (an affiliate) ("Inland American REIT"), does not satisfy their obligations under their agreement with MB REIT, the Company may be required to purchase series C preferred shares from MB REIT in an amount equal to approximately $300,000. MB REIT has the right to redeem any series C preferred shares it issues to the Company with the proceeds of any subsequent capital contributed by Inland American REIT.  MB REIT is required to redeem any and all outstanding series C preferred shares held by the Company by December 31, 2006.  The series C preferred shares entitles the Company to an annual dividend equal to 7.0% on the face amount of the series C preferred shares payable monthly.  As of December 31, 2005, the company had purchased 175,551 series C preferred shares for a total amount of $224,003.  Due to the Company’s lack of influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, this investment is accounted for under the cost method in which investments are recorded at their original cost. The investment is included in other investments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company earned $2,108 in dividend income related to this investment during the year ended December 31, 2005, which is included in dividend income on the consolidated statement of operations.  This full amount remained unpaid as of December 31, 2005 and is included in due from affiliates on the consolidated balance sheet.


The Company has entered into a fee arrangement with Inland American REIT whereby the Company is paid for guarantying customary non-recourse carve out provisions of Inland American REIT's financings until such time as Inland American REIT reaches a net worth of $300,000.  The fee arrangement calls for a fee of $50 annually for loans equal to and in excess of $50,000 and $25 for loans less than $50,000.

On September 28, 2005, an affiliate of the Company purchased a single-user net lease property in Pearland, Texas subject to an existing mortgage which the company had previously funded on the property in the amount of $7,391. In addition, on that date, the Company funded an additional mount of $1,346 on the loan to the affiliate, bringing the total amount funded by the Company to $8,737. The total loan amount represented 100% of the purchase price of the property plus accrued interest on the previous loan balance. The entity which owns the property was considered a variable interest entity as defined in FIN 46(R) and the Company was considered the primary beneficiary. Therefore, this entity was consolidated by the Company until December 28, 20065, at which time the loan was paid off in full including accrued interest.


On October 7, 2005, an affiliate of the Company acquired a freestanding office building leased to the General Services Administration (GSA) for the U.S. Joint Force Command.  The Company provided the initial financing of approximately $24,300 for the affiliate to acquire the property.  The loan was repaid in full including accrued interest on December 6, 2005.


During 2004, the Company's sponsor advanced funds to the Company for a portion of distributions paid to the Company's shareholders until funds available for distributions were sufficient to cover the distributions.  The Company's sponsor forgave $2,369 of these amounts during the second quarter of 2004 and these funds were no longer due and were recorded as a contribution to capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2004, the Company owed funds to the sponsor in the amount of $3,523 for repayment of the funds advanced for payment of distributions. These funds were repaid in their entirety during 2005 and no funds were due to the Company's sponsor as of December 31, 2005. No funds were advanced during 2005.



 (4)  Marketable Securities


Investment in marketable securities of $184,690 and $1,287 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, consists of preferred and common stock investments which are classified as available-for-sale securities and recorded at fair value.

At December 31, 2005, these rates were equal to a range between 4.64% and 4.89%. Interest expense on this debt in the amount of $1,143 is recognized within interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The total value of the Company’s marketable securities at December 31, 2005 serves as collateral for this debt.

(5)  Stock Option Plan


The Company has adopted an Independent Director Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which, subject to certain conditions, provides for the grant to each independent director of an option to acquire 3,000 shares following their becoming a director and for the grant of additional options to acquire 500 shares on the date of each annual stockholder’s meeting. The options for the initial 3,000 shares are exercisable as follows: 1,000 shares on the date of grant and 1,000 shares on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant. The subsequent options will be exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant. The initial options will be exercisable at $8.95 per share. The subsequent options will be exercisable at the fair market value of a share on the last business day preceding the annual meeting of stockholders as determined under the Plan. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, there had been a total of 20,000 and 17,500 options issued, of which none had been exercised or expired.


The Company calculates the per share weighted average fair value of options granted on the date of the grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions regarding the expected dividend yield, risk free interest rate, expected life and expected volatility rate. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, the Company recorded $2, $3 and $5, respectively, of expense related to stock options.


(6) Leases


Master Lease Agreements


In conjunction with certain acquisitions, the Company receives payments under master lease agreements pertaining to certain non-revenue producing spaces at the time of purchase for periods generally ranging from three months to three years after the date of purchase or until the spaces are leased.  As these payments are received, they are recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the respective property rather than as rental income.  The cumulative amount of such payments was $9,829 and $3,025 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Operating Leases


The majority of the revenues from the Company's properties consists of rents received under long-term operating leases.  Some leases provide for the payment of fixed base rent paid monthly in advance, and for the reimbursement by tenants to the Company for the tenant's pro rata share of certain operating expenses including real estate taxes, special assessments, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance, management fees, and certain building repairs paid by the landlord and recoverable under the terms of the lease.  Under these leases, the landlord pays all expenses and is reimbursed by the tenant for the tenant's pro rata share of recoverable expenses paid.  Certain other tenants are subject to net leases which provide that the tenant is responsible for fixed based rent as well as all costs and expenses associated with occupancy.  Under net leases where all expenses are paid directly by the tenant rather than the landlord, such expenses are not included in the consolidated statements of operations.  Under net leases where all expenses are paid by the landlord, subject to reimbursement by the tenant, the expenses are included within property operating expenses and reimbursements are included in tenant recovery income on the consolidated statements of operations.


A lease termination by a major tenant could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants whose leases permit cancellation or rent reduction if a major tenant's lease is terminated.  In certain properties where there are large tenants, other tenants may require that if certain large tenants or "shadow" tenants discontinue operations, a right of termination or reduced rent may exist.


Minimum lease payments to be received under operating leases, excluding payments under master lease agreements and assuming no expiring leases are renewed, are as follows:

The maturity table excludes other financing obligations as described in Note 1.


The majority of the Company's mortgage loans require monthly payments of interest only, although some loans require principal and interest payments, as well as reserves for taxes, insurance, and certain other costs.  Although the loans placed by the Company are generally non-recourse, occasionally, when it is deemed to be advantageous, the Company may guarantee all or a portion of the debt on a full-recourse basis.  However, at December 31, 2005, none of the Company's loans are guaranteed.  At times, the Company has borrowed funds financed as part of a cross-collateralized package, with cross-default provisions, in order to enhance the financial benefits.  In those circumstances, one or more of the properties may secure the debt of another of the Company's properties.

The extension period will end in December 2006. The funds from this line of credit may be used to provide liquidity from the time a property is purchased until permanent debt is placed on that property.  The line of credit requires interest only payments monthly at the rate equal to LIBOR plus up to 190 basis points depending on the Company's leverage ratio. LIBOR ranged from 2.40% to 4.39% during the year ended December 31, 2005.  The Company is also required to pay, on a quarterly basis, an amount ranging from .15% to .25%, per annum, on the average daily undrawn funds under this line.  The line of credit requires compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, minimum net worth requirements, distribution limitations and investment restrictions.

These investments are accounted for utilizing the equity method of accounting.  Under the equity method of accounting, the net equity investment of the Company is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of operations includes the Company's share of net income or loss from the unconsolidated entity.


These investments are considered restricted. They are considered restricted because the Company’s joint venture partner is entitled to all of the economic benefits of the investments. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, all equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities was allocated to the Company's joint venture partners in accordance with the joint venture operating agreements.

(11)  Segment Reporting


The Company owns multi-tenant shopping centers and single-user net lease properties across the United States. The Company's shopping centers are typically anchored by credit tenants, discount retailers, home improvement retailers, grocery and drugstores complemented with additional stores providing a wide range of other goods and services to shoppers.


The Company assesses and measures operating results of its properties based on net property operations. Management internally evaluates the operating performance of the properties as a whole and does not differentiate properties by geography, size or type. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 131, each of the Company's investment properties are considered a separate operating segment. However, under the aggregation criteria of SFAS No. 131, the Company's properties are considered one reportable segment.


Net property operations are summarized in the following table for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, along with a reconciliation to net income.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)


Non-segment assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted escrows, investments in marketable securities, other investments, loan fees and loan fee deposits and miscellaneous other non-real estate related assets.


The Company does not derive any of its consolidated revenue from foreign countries and does not have any major customers that individually account for 10% or more of the Company's consolidated revenues.


(12)  Earnings per Share


Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the "common shares"). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the common shares plus shares issuable upon exercising options or other contracts. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, options to purchase 20,000 and 17,500 shares of common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $8.95 per share were outstanding.  These options were not included in the computation of basic or diluted EPS as the effect would be immaterial.


The basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 350,643,532, 98,562,885 and 2,520,986 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, respectively.


(13)  Commitments and Contingencies


The Company has acquired several properties which have earnout components, meaning the Company did not pay for portions of these properties that were not rent producing at the time of acquisition.  The Company is obligated, under certain agreements, to pay for those portions when the tenant moves into its space and begins to pay rent.  The earnout payments are based on a predetermined formula. Each earnout agreement has a time limit regarding the obligation to pay any additional monies. The time limits generally range from one to three years. If at the end of the time period allowed certain space has not been leased and occupied, the Company will own that space without any further payment obligation to the seller. Based on pro-forma leasing rates, the Company may pay as much as $176,896 in the future as retail space covered by earnout agreements is occupied and becomes rent producing.


The Company has entered into two mortgage note agreements, two construction loan agreements and two other installment note agreements in which the Company has committed to fund up to a total of $167,199. Each loan requires monthly interest payments with the entire principal balance due at maturity.  The combined receivable balance at December 31, 2005 was $100,687.  Therefore, the Company may be required to fund up to an additional $66,512 on these loans.


As part of the company's subscription agreement with MB REIT, it may be obligated to purchase up to approximately $300,000 of series C preferred shares of that entity.  As of December 31, 2005, the Company had purchased series C preferred shares totaling $224,003.  Therefore, the company may be required to purchase up to $75,997 in additional shares.


As of December 31, 2005, the Company had 10 irrevocable letters of credit outstanding related to loan fundings against earnout spaces at certain properties. Once the Company purchases the remaining portion of these properties and meets certain occupancy requirements, the letters of credit will be released. The balance of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2005 was $52,030.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)


The Company has entered into interest rate lock agreements with various lenders to secure interest rates on mortgage debt on properties the Company currently owns or plans to purchase in the future. The Company had outstanding rate lock deposits in the amount of $9,068 as of December 31, 2005 which will be applied as credits to the mortgage fundings as they occur.  These agreements lock interest rates from 4.64% to 5.69% for periods of 60 days on approximately $731,000 in principal. Approximately $448,000 of this principal has been allocated to specific acquisitions as of December 31, 2005.


The Company is currently considering acquiring 20 properties for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $428,000. The Company's decision to acquire each property will generally depend upon no material adverse change occurring relating to the property, the tenants or in the local economic conditions and the Company's receipt of satisfactory due diligence information including appraisals, environmental reports and lease information prior to purchasing the property.


(14)  Subsequent Events


The Company issued 2,697,234 shares of common stock through the DRP and repurchased 238,246 shares of common stock through the SRP from January 1 through February 21, 2006, resulting in a total of 437,886,009 shares of common stock outstanding at February 21, 2006.


The Company paid distributions of $23,767 and $23,383 to its stockholders in January and February 2006, respectively.


The Company acquired the following five properties during the period January 1 to February 21, 2006.  The respective acquisitions are detailed in the table below.
