HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008

 

Explanatory Note:

 

In compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”), which was adopted January 1, 2009 and EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, the Company has reported certain noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated equity for each period presented (including the comparable period of the prior year) in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed for the first three quarters of 2009.  Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, the same reclassification is required for previously issued annual financial statements for each of the three years presented in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, if those financial statements are incorporated by reference in certain subsequent filings with the SEC under the Securities Act, even though those financial statements relate to periods prior to the date of adoption of SFAS No. 160.  Thus, the historical financial information included in this Exhibit 99.1 is presented “as adjusted” in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 160, and EITF Topic D-98.  This information does not attempt to modify or update any other disclosures set forth in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K (“Original Filing”), except as required to reflect the amended information in this Exhibit 99.1. Additionally, this Exhibit 99.1, except for the amended information included in Part II and Part IV, speaks as of the filing date of the Original Filing and does not update or discuss any other developments affecting us subsequent to the date of the Original Filing.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K. In this discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Kite Realty Group Trust and its subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

In the following overview, we discuss the status of our business and properties, the effect that current U.S. economic conditions is having on our retail tenants and us, and the current state of the financial markets as pertaining to our debt maturities and our ability to secure financing.

 

Our Business and Properties

 

Kite Realty Group Trust, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, construction, expansion and development of neighborhood and community shopping centers and certain commercial real estate properties in selected markets in the United States. We derive revenues primarily from rents and reimbursement payments received from tenants under existing leases at each of our properties. We also derive revenues from providing management, leasing, real estate development, construction and real estate advisory services through our taxable REIT subsidiary. Our operating results therefore depend materially on the ability of our tenants to make required rental payments, our ability to provide such services to third parties, conditions in the U.S. retail sector and overall real estate market conditions.

 

As of December 31, 2008, we owned interests in a portfolio of 52 operating retail properties totaling approximately 8.4 million square feet of gross leasable area (including non-owned anchor space) and also owned interests in three operating commercial properties totaling approximately 0.5 million square feet of net rentable area and an associated parking garage.  Also, as of December 31, 2008, we had an interest in eight properties in our development and redevelopment pipelines. Upon completion, we anticipate our development and redevelopment properties to have approximately 1.2 million square of total gross leasable area.

 

In addition to our current development and redevelopment pipelines, we have a “visible shadow” development pipeline which includes land parcels that are undergoing pre-development activity and are in various stages of preparation for construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and negotiations for third party financings.  As of December 31, 2008, this visible shadow pipeline consisted of six projects that are expected to contain approximately 2.9 million square feet of total gross leasable area upon completion.

 

Finally, as of December 31, 2008, we also owned interests in other land parcels comprising approximately 105 acres that may be used for future expansion of existing properties, development of new retail or commercial properties or sold to third parties. These land parcels are classified as “Land held for development” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

Current Economic Conditions and Impact on Our Retail Tenants

 

2008 was a very difficult year for the U.S. economy, businesses and consumers. Initial weakness in the housing market in 2007 escalated into a credit crisis whereby businesses and consumers had difficulty obtaining financing on favorable terms, if at all.  These conditions accelerated the deterioration of the U.S. economy, and in late 2008 the National Bureau of Economic Research, a group of economists that characterize American business cycles, declared that a recession began in the U.S. in December 2007.  Throughout 2008 and into the first quarter of 2009, the U.S. economy continued to struggle with difficult market conditions, including a shortage of financing, decreased home values and increased home foreclosures, rising unemployment rates, personal and business bankruptcies, and sharp declines in consumer confidence. The U.S. Congress, the new Presidential Administration, which took office in January 2009, and the Federal Reserve Bank have taken various steps in an effort to curtail the recession and promote stability in the U.S. economy as a whole. It is not

 

4



 

yet known what effect, if any, these stimulus packages and other governmental and monetary packages will have on financial institutions and markets or the economy.

 

These difficult economic conditions had a negative impact on consumer spending during 2008, and we expect these conditions to continue into 2009 and possibly beyond. Factors contributing to consumers spending less at stores owned and/or operated by our retail tenants include, among others:

 

·                  Shortage or Unavailability of Financing: Lending institutions have substantially tightened credit standards, making it significantly more difficult for individuals and companies to obtain financing.  The shortage of financing has caused, among other things, consumers to have less disposable income available for retail spending.

 

·                  Decreased Home Values and Increased Home Foreclosures: U.S. home values have decreased sharply, and difficult economic conditions have also contributed to a record number of home foreclosures. The historically high level of delinquencies and foreclosures, particularly among sub-prime mortgage borrowers, is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.

 

·                  Rising Unemployment Rates: The U.S. unemployment rate continues to rise dramatically. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2008, approximately 2.6 million Americans became unemployed, the highest level in more than six decades.  A total of approximately 1.9 million of these jobs were lost in the last four months of 2008, with over half a million lost in December 2008 alone. This trend continued through January and February 2009, with unemployment rising to approximately 4.4 million Americans, or 8.1%, the highest level in 25 years. Rising unemployment rates could cause further decreases in consumer spending, thereby negatively affecting the businesses of our retail tenants.

 

·                  Deceasing Consumer Confidence: Consumer confidence is at its lowest level in decades, leading to consumers spending less money on discretionary purchases. The significant increase during 2008 in both personal and business bankruptcies reflects an economy in distress, with financially over-extended consumers less likely to purchase goods and/or services from our retail tenants.

 

During 2008, decreasing consumer spending had a negative impact on the businesses of our retail tenants. For example, same-store sales for many retailers declined in late 2008, particularly in November and December. As discussed below, these conditions in turn had a negative impact on our business. To the extent these conditions persist or deteriorate further, our tenants may be required to curtail or cease their operations, which could materially and negatively affect our business in general and our cash flow in particular.

 

Impact of Economy on REITs, Including Us

 

As an owner and developer of community and neighborhood shopping centers, our operating and financial performance is directly affected by economic conditions in the retail sector of those markets in which our operating centers and development properties are located. This is particularly true in the states of Indiana, Florida and Texas, where the majority of our properties are located, and in North Carolina, where a significant portion of our development projects and land parcels held for development are located.  As discussed above, due to the challenges facing U.S. consumers, the operations of many of our retail tenants are being negatively affected.  In turn, this is having a negative impact on our business, including in the following ways:

 

·                  Difficulty In Collecting Rent; Rent Adjustments.  When consumers spend less, our tenants typically experience decreased revenues and cash flows.  This makes it more difficult for some of our tenants to pay their rent obligations, which is the primary source of our revenues.  The number of tenants requesting decreases or deferrals in their rent obligations increased in 2008. If granted, such decreases or deferrals negatively affect our cash flows.

 

·                  Termination of Leases.  If our tenants continue to struggle to meet their rental obligations, they may be forced to terminate their leases with us.  During 2008, several tenants terminated their leases with us and in some cases we were able to negotiate lease termination fees from these tenants but in other cases we were not.

 

5



 

·                  Tenant Bankruptcies. The number of bankruptcies by U.S. businesses surged in the third and fourth quarter of 2008. This trend continued through January and February 2009 and may continue into the foreseeable future. Likewise, bankruptcies of our retail tenants also increased sharply in 2008 and into 2009.  For example, in November 2008, Circuit City Stores, Inc. filed a petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws and, in January 2009, declared that it would be liquidating and closing all of its stores. As of December 31, 2008, Circuit City leased space at three of our properties and represented a total of approximately 2.2% of our total operating portfolio annualized base rent and approximately 1.7% of our total operating portfolio owned gross leasable area. As a result of the liquidation, we wrote off all assets and uncollected amounts from Circuit City in December 2008, which reduced our net income by approximately $4.1 million.

 

·                  Decrease in Demand for Retail Space.  Reflecting the extremely difficult current market conditions, demand for retail space at our shopping centers has decreased while availability has increased due to tenant terminations and bankruptcies.  As a result, the overall tenancy at our shopping centers declined over the last 12 months and may continue to decline in the future until financial markets, consumer confidence, and the economy stabilize. As of December 31, 2008, our retail operating portfolio was approximately 91% leased compared to approximately 95% leased as of December 31, 2007. In addition, these conditions have made it significantly more difficult for us to lease space in our development projects, which may adversely affect the expected returns from these projects or delay their completion.

 

The factors discussed above, among others, had a negative impact on our business during 2008.  We expect that these conditions may continue well into the foreseeable future.

 

Financing Strategy and 2009 Maturities

 

Our ability to obtain financing on satisfactory terms and to refinance borrowings as they mature has also been affected by the condition of the economy in general and by the current instability of the financial markets in particular. As of December 31, 2008, approximately $84 million of our consolidated indebtedness was scheduled to mature in 2009 (approximately $108 million including our share of unconsolidated debt), excluding scheduled monthly principal payments for 2009. We believe we have good relationships with a number of banks and other financial institutions that will allow us to refinance these borrowings with the existing lenders or replacement lender.  However, in this current challenging environment, it is imperative that we identify alternative sources of financing and other capital in the event we are not able to refinance these loans on satisfactory terms, or at all. It is also important for us to obtain financing in order to complete our development and redevelopment projects.

 

To strengthen our balance sheet, we engaged in certain financing transactions in 2008.  Specifically, we have raised a combined $102.8 million in proceeds from a new term loan that matures in July 2011 and from an offering of 4,750,000 of our common shares. These funds were primarily used to pay down borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which created additional availability under this facility to pay down borrowings as they mature, if necessary. As of December 31, 2008, approximately $77 million was available to be drawn under this facility and we had an additional approximately $10 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand.

 

In addition to raising new capital, we have also been successful in obtaining extensions for loans originally maturing in 2008. As part of our financing strategy, we will continue to seek to refinance and/or extend our debt that is maturing in 2009 and 2010. For example, in October, we negotiated the extension of the maturity dates from 2009 to 2010 on our debt at four of our consolidated properties (Estero Town Center, Tarpon Springs Plaza, Rivers Edge Shopping Center, and Bridgewater Marketplace). In addition, in October and December 2008, we refinanced debt at our Gateway Shopping Center and Bayport Commons properties, respectively, and extended the maturity dates from 2009 to 2011. As a result of these actions, we extended the maturity dates to 2010 or later on approximately $100.6 million of indebtedness originally due in 2009. While we can give no assurance, due to these efforts and the current status of negotiations with existing and alternative lenders for our near-term maturing indebtedness, we currently believe we will have the ability to extend, refinance, or repay all of our debt that is maturing through at least 2009, including, to the extent necessary, utilizing the availability on our unsecured credit facility.

 

Obtaining new financing also is important to our business due to the capital needs of our existing development and redevelopment projects. The properties in our development and redevelopment pipelines, which are primary drivers for our near-term growth, will require a substantial amount of capital to complete. As of December 31, 2008, our unfunded share of

 

6



 

the total estimated cost of the properties in our current development and redevelopment pipelines was approximately $45 million. While we believe we will have access to sufficient funding to be able to fund our investments in these projects through a combination of new and existing construction loans and draws on our unsecured credit facility (which, as noted above, has $77 million of availability as of December 31, 2008), a prolonged credit crisis will make it more costly and difficult to raise additional capital, if necessary.

 

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the compilation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments.

 

Purchase Accounting

 

The purchase price of operating properties is allocated to tangible assets and identified intangibles acquired based on their fair values in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”). In making estimates of fair values for the purpose of allocating purchase price, a number of sources are utilized. We also consider information about each property obtained as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of tangible assets and intangibles acquired.

 

A portion of the purchase price is allocated to tangible assets and intangibles, including:

 

·                  the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and to land determined by real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals, or other relevant data;

 

·                  above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income; and

 

·                  the value of leases acquired. We utilize independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.

 

We also consider whether a portion of the purchase price should be allocated to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value. Characteristics we consider in allocating these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. To date, a tenant relationship has not been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value.

 

Beginning fiscal year 2009, we will apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R) “Business Combinations — Revised” to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will require us to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) will modify SFAS No. 141’s cost-allocation process, which currently requires the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and

 

7



 

liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS No. 141(R) requires the costs of an acquisition to be recognized in the period incurred. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

Capitalization of Certain Pre-Development and Development Costs

 

We incur costs prior to land acquisition and for certain land held for development, including acquisition contract deposits as well as legal, engineering and other external professional fees related to evaluating the feasibility of developing a shopping center.  These pre-development costs are capitalized and included in construction in progress in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  If we determine that the completion of a development project is no longer probable, all previously incurred pre-development costs are immediately expensed.

 

We also capitalize costs such as construction, interest, real estate taxes, and salaries and related costs of personnel directly involved with the development of our properties.  As a portion of the development property becomes operational, we expense appropriate costs on a pro rata basis.

 

Impairment of Investment Properties

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” (“SFAS No. 144”), management reviews investment properties for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment properties may not be recoverable. Impairment analysis requires management to make certain assumptions and requires significant judgment. Management does not believe any investment properties were impaired at December 31, 2008.

 

Impairment losses for investment properties are recorded when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset.

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, operating properties held for sale include only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year. Operating properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period.

 

Our properties have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of our activities. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the operations reported in discontinued operations include those operating properties that were sold or were considered held-for-sale and for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished. The operations from these properties are eliminated from ongoing operations, and we will not have a continuing involvement after disposition. When material, prior periods are reclassified to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

As lessor, we retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment properties and account for our leases as operating leases.

 

Contractual minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. A small number of our lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on a tenant’s sales volume (contingent percentage rent). Percentage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements.  Percentage rent is included in other property related revenue in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expense is incurred.

 

Gains and losses on sales of real estate are recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sale of Real Estate.” In summary, gains and losses from sales are not recognized unless a sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, we have transferred to the

 

8



 

buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership, we do not have a substantial continuing financial involvement in the property and the collectability of any receivable from the sale is reasonably assured.

 

Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to the estimated total cost for each contract. Project costs include all direct labor, subcontract, and material costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance costs incurred to date.  Project costs do not include uninstalled materials. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

 

Development fees and fees from advisory services are recognized as revenue in the period in which the services are rendered. Performance-based incentive fees are recorded when the fees are earned.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

On January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.  SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

 

As further discussed in Note 12 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the only assets or liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis are interest rate hedge agreements. To comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

 

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties.  However, as of December 31, 2008, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.  As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance

 

We are considered a corporation for federal income tax purposes and qualify as a REIT. As such, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we distribute our REIT taxable income to our shareholders.  REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates.  We may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income even if we do qualify as a REIT.  For example, we will be subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 90% of our REIT taxable income (including capital gains).

Results of Operations

 

At December 31, 2008, we owned interests in 56 operating properties (consisting of 52 retail properties, three operating commercial properties and an associated parking garage) and eight entities that held development or redevelopment properties in which we have an interest. These redevelopment properties include Shops at Eagle Creek, Bolton Plaza, Courthouse Shadows, and Four Corner Square properties, all of which are undergoing major redevelopment, and Rivers Edge, a shopping center purchased in February 2008 that we intend to redevelop. Of the 64 total properties held at December 31, 2008, one operating property and one parcel of pre-development land were owned through joint ventures and accounted for under the equity method.

 

At December 31, 2007, we owned interests in 55 operating properties (consisting of 50 retail properties, four commercial operating properties and an associated parking garage) and had interests in 11 entities that held development or redevelopment properties. These redevelopment properties included our Glendale Town Center and Shops at Eagle Creek properties, which were both undergoing major redevelopment. Of the 66 total properties held at December 31, 2007, two operating properties were owned through joint ventures that were accounted for under the equity method.

 

At December 31, 2006, we owned interests in 54 operating properties (consisting of 49 retail properties, four commercial operating properties and an associated parking garage) and had 11 properties under development. Of the 65 total properties held at December 31, 2006, two operating properties were owned through joint ventures that were accounted for under the equity method.

 

The comparability of results of operations is significantly affected by our development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition activities in 2006, 2007 and 2008.  Therefore, we believe it is most useful to review the comparisons of our 2006, 2007 and 2008 results of operations (as set forth below under “Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007and “Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006”) in conjunction with the discussion of our significant development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition activities during those periods, which such discussion is set forth directly below.

This property was purchased with the intent to redevelop; therefore, it is included in our redevelopment pipeline, as discussed below. However, for purposes of the comparison of operating results, this property is classified as property acquired during 2008 in the comparison of operating results tables below.

(2)

 

To fund the purchase price, we utilized approximately $2.7 million of proceeds from the November 2007 sale of our 176th & Meridian property, as discussed below. The remaining purchase price of $15.6 million was funded initially through a draw on our unsecured revolving credit facility and subsequently refinanced with a variable rate loan bearing interest at LIBOR + 125 basis points and originally maturing on February 3, 2009. In October 2008, we extended the maturity date on this loan one additional year.

(3)

 

When purchased, Kedron Village was under construction and not an operating property. The property became partially operational in the third quarter of 2006 and became fully operational during the fourth quarter of 2006.

(4)

 

Total purchase price of approximately $34.9 million is net of purchase price adjustments, including tenant improvement and leasing commission credits, of $2.0 million.

 

No operating properties were acquired by us in fiscal year 2007.

We hold a 50% interest in this joint venture. In December 2008, the joint venture sold this property for $17.5 million, resulting in a total gain on sale of approximately $3.5 million. Net proceeds of approximately $14.4 million from the sale of this property were utilized to defease the related mortgage loan. Our share of the gain on sale, was approximately $1.2 million, net of our excess investment. We used the majority of our share of the net proceeds to pay down borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. Prior to the sale of this property, the joint venture sold a parcel of land for net proceeds of approximately $1.1 million, of which our share was $0.6 million.

(2)

 

We realized net proceeds of approximately $17.2 million from the sale of this property and recognized a loss on the sale of $2.7 million. The majority of the net proceeds from the sale of this property were used to pay down borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. The sale of this property and its operating results have been reflected as discontinued operations for fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Amounts were not reclassified for fiscal years 2007 and 2006 as they were not considered material to the financial statements.

(3)

 

This property was sold for net proceeds of $7.0 million and a gain of $2.0 million. We utilized the proceeds from the sale with the intention to execute a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and, in February 2008 we did so by purchasing Rivers Edge Shopping Center, as

discussed above. The sale of this property and its operating results have been reflected as discontinued operations for fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

 

No operating properties were sold by us in fiscal year 2006.

In addition to the existing center, we may construct an additional building to support approximately 6,000 square feet of small shop space. We anticipate our total investment in the redevelopment at this property will be approximately $2.5 million.

(3)

 

In addition to the existing center, we also own approximately ten acres of land adjacent to the center which may be utilized in the redevelopment. We anticipate the majority of the existing center will remain open during the redevelopment. We anticipate our total investment in the redevelopment at this property will be approximately $0.5 million.

(4)

 

The former anchor tenant’s lease at the shopping center expired in May 2008 and was not renewed. We anticipate our total investment in the redevelopment at this property will be approximately $2.0 million.

(5)

 

We purchased this property in February 2008 with the intent to redevelop. The existing anchor tenant’s lease at this property will expire in March 2010 and we are currently marketing the space in the event the current anchor tenant does not renew its lease. We anticipate our total investment in the redevelopment at this property will be approximately $2.5 million.

(6)

 

Property was transitioned to the operating portfolio in the third quarter of 2008 as redevelopment was substantially completed. However, because the property was under redevelopment during 2007 and the majority of 2008, it is classified as such in the comparison of operating results tables below.

(7)

 

We are currently redeveloping the space formerly occupied by Winn-Dixie at this property into two smaller spaces. Staples signed a lease for approximately 25,800 square feet of the space and opened for business in August 2008. We are continuing to market the remaining space for lease and have also completed a number of additional renovations at the property during 2008. We anticipate our total investment in the redevelopment at Shops at Eagle Creek will be approximately $3.5 million.

Excluding the changes due to the acquisition of properties, transitioned development properties, properties under redevelopment, and the property that was sold, the net $5.5 million decrease in rental income was primarily related to the following:

 

·                  $2.5 million net decrease at a number of our properties primarily due to the termination of leases with tenants in 2007 and 2008, which includes the loss of rent as well as the write-off to income of intangible lease related amounts;

·                  $1.5 million net decrease in real estate tax recoveries from tenants primarily due to real estate tax refunds at a number of our operating properties in 2008 due to decreased assessments, most of which was reimbursed to our tenants;

·                  $0.9 million net write-off of rental income amounts in connection with the bankruptcy and liquidation of Circuit City stores at three of our properties;

·                  $0.3 million decrease at our Union Station parking garage related to the change in structure of our agreement from a lease to a management agreement with a third party; and

·                  $0.3 million decrease in common area maintenance and property insurance recoveries at a number of our operating properties due to a decrease in the related costs.

 

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, percentage rent, lease settlement income and gains from land sales. This revenue increased approximately $3.0 million, or 27%, primarily as a result of the following:

 

·                  $3.2 million increased gains on land sales in 2008 compared to 2007; and

 

13



 

·                  $1.1 million net increase in parking revenue at our Union Station parking garage related to the change in structure of our agreement from a lease to a management agreement with a third party.

 

These increases were partially offset by the following:

 

·                  $0.9 million decrease in lease settlement income we received from tenants in connection with the termination of leases in 2008 compared to 2007; and

·                  $0.3 million decrease in percentage rent from our retail operating tenants in 2008 compared to 2007.

 

Construction revenue and service fees increased approximately $1.8 million, or 5%. This increase is primarily due to the net increase in proceeds from build-to-suit assets, partially offset by the level and timing of third party construction contracts during 2008 compared to 2007.  In 2008, we realized proceeds of $10.6 million from the sale of our Spring Mill Medical, Phase II build-to-suit commercial development asset and in 2007, we realized proceeds of $6.1 million from the sale of a build-to-suit asset at Sandifur Plaza.

 

Property operating expenses increased approximately $2.0 million, or 13%, due to the following:

Excluding the changes due to the acquisition of properties, transitioned development properties, properties under redevelopment, and the property sold, the net $0.5 million increase in property operating expenses was primarily due the following:

 

·                $0.6 million net increase in bad debt expense at a number of our operating properties; and

·                $0.5 million increase in expenses at our Union Station parking garage property related to a change in the structure of our agreement from a lease to a management agreement with a third party.

 

This increase in operating expenses was partially offset by a net decrease of $0.5 million in insurance and landscaping expenses at a number of our properties.

Excluding the changes due to the acquisition of properties, transitioned development properties, properties under redevelopment, and the property sold, the net $0.5 million decrease in real estate taxes was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $0.7 million due to real estate tax refunds received in 2008, net of related professional fees, at our Market Street Village, Galleria Plaza, and Cedar Hill Plaza properties, most of which was reimbursed to tenants. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.2 million net increase in real estate tax assessments at a number of our operating properties.

Cost of construction and services increased approximately $1.7 million, or 5%. This increase was primarily due to the increased costs associated with the sale of build-to-suit assets, partially offset by the level and timing of third party construction contracts during 2008 compared to 2007. In 2008, we had costs associated with the sale of our Spring Mill Medical, Phase II, build-to-suit commercial development asset of $9.4 million, while in 2007, we had costs associated with the sale of a build-to-suit asset at Sandifur Plaza of $4.1 million.

 

General, administrative and other expenses decreased approximately $0.4 million, or 7%. In 2008, general, administrative and other expenses were 4.1% of total revenue and in 2007, general, administrative and other expenses were 4.5% of total revenue. This decrease in general, administrative and other expenses was primarily due to decreased salary, benefits and incentive compensation expense as a result of a decrease in overall headcount.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $3.6 million, or 11%, due to the following:

Excluding the changes due to the acquisition of properties, transitioned development properties, properties under redevelopment, and the property sold, the net $3.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to the acceleration of depreciable assets, including intangible lease assets, related to the termination of tenants, including the termination of leases with Circuit City stores at three of our properties that was recognized in 2008 in connection with Circuit City’s bankruptcy and liquidation.

 

Income from unconsolidated entities increased $0.6 million, or 190%. During 2008, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures (Spring Mill Medical, Phase I) sold a parcel of land for a net gain of approximately $1.1 million, of which our share was $0.6 million.

 

Gain on sale of unconsolidated property was $1.2 million in 2008. In December 2008, we sold our interest in Spring Mill Medical, Phase I, one of our unconsolidated commercial operating properties. This property is located in Indianapolis, Indiana and was owned 50% through a joint venture. The joint venture sold the property for approximately $17.5 million, resulting in a gain on the sale of approximately $3.5 million. Net proceeds of approximately $14.4 million from the sale of this property were utilized to defease the related mortgage loan. Our share of the gain on the sale of Spring Mill Medical, Phase I, was approximately $1.2 million, net of our excess investment. We used the majority of our share of the net proceeds to pay down borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

 

Other income, net decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 80%, primarily as a result of a $0.5 million payment received from a lender in consideration for our agreement to terminate a loan commitment in 2007.

 

Interest expense increased approximately $3.4 million, or 13%, due to the following:

on our term loan, which was entered into in July 2008. This was partially offset by lower LIBOR rates on our variable rate debt, including the line of credit, during fiscal year 2008 compared to 2007.

 

Income tax expense of our taxable REIT subsidiary increased $1.2 million, or 153%, primarily due to the income taxes incurred by our taxable REIT subsidiary associated with the gain on the sale of land in the first quarter of 2008 as well as the sale of Spring Mill Medical, Phase II, a consolidated joint venture property. This build-to-suit commercial asset that we sold was adjacent to Spring Mill Medical I and was owned in our taxable REIT subsidiary through a 50% owned joint venture with a third party. Our proceeds of this sale were approximately $10.6 million, and our associated construction costs were approximately $9.4 million, including a $0.9 million payment to our joint venture partner to acquire their partnership interest prior to the sale to a third party. Our share of net proceeds of approximately $1.2 million from this sale were primarily used to pay down borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

 

Operating income from discontinued operations increased $1.0 million and loss (gain) on sale of operating property decreased $4.7 million, for a net decrease of $3.8 million, or 174%. In December 2008, we sold our Silver Glen Crossings property, located in Chicago, Illinois, for net proceeds of $17.2 million and a loss on sale of $2.7 million.  In November 2007, we sold our 176th & Meridian property, located in Seattle, Washington, for net proceeds of $7.0 million and a gain of $2.0 million.

Excluding the changes due to the acquisition of properties, transitioned development properties, and the properties under redevelopment, the net $0.7 million increase in rental income was primarily related to the following:

 

·                  $0.8 million increase due to the write off of intangible lease obligations in connection with the termination of a lease at our Silver Glen Crossings property;

·                  $0.5 million net increase in real estate tax recoveries from tenants due to increased assessments at a number of our properties;

·                  $0.3 million of increased rental income at one of our properties due to two new tenants that began paying rent in the second half of 2006;

 

17



 

·                  $0.3 million of increased common area maintenance and property insurance recoveries from tenants at a number of our properties due to higher related expenses; and

·                  $0.2 million of increased rental income at one of our properties due to a new anchor tenants that began paying rent in the second half 2007.

 

These increases in rental income were partially offset by the following:

 

·                  $0.8 million decrease reflecting the termination of our lease with Marsh Supermarkets at Naperville Marketplace and the subsequent sale of the facility in the second quarter of 2006; and

·                  $0.7 million decrease due to the termination of a lease at our Thirty South property in the fourth quarter of 2006.

 

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, percentage rent, lease settlement income and gains on land sales. This revenue increased approximately $4.7 million, or 73%, primarily as a result of $4.0 million increased gains on land sales and an increase of $0.9 million in lease settlement income. This revenue increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $0.3 million in specialty leasing income as a result of the redevelopment of Glendale Town Center.

 

Construction revenue and service fees decreased approximately $4.2 million, or 10%. This decrease is primarily due to the level and timing of third party construction contracts during 2007 compared to 2006, partially offset by the net increase in proceeds from build-to-suit assets.  In 2007, we had proceeds from the sale of a build-to-suit asset at Sandifur Plaza of $6.1 million while, in 2006, we had proceeds from the sale of a build-to-suit asset at Bridgewater Marketplace of $5.3 million.

Excluding the changes due to the acquisition of properties, transitioned development properties, and the properties under redevelopment, the net $0.6 million increase in property operating expenses was primarily due to the following:

 

·                  $0.4 million increase in snow removal expense primarily at our Indiana and Illinois properties, the majority of which is recoverable from tenants;

·                  $0.2 million increase in landscaping and parking expense at a number of our operating properties, the majority of which is recoverable from tenants; and

·                  $0.2 million net increase in repair and maintenance expense at a number of our operating properties, some of which is recoverable from tenants.

 

These increases in property operating expenses were partially offset by the following:

 

·                  $0.1 million net decrease in bad debt expense at a number of our operating properties; and

·                  $0.1 million net decrease in non-recoverable legal expenses at one of our operating properties.

Excluding the changes due to the acquisition of properties, transitioned development properties, and the properties under redevelopment, the net $38,517 increase in real estate taxes represented a net increase of approximately $0.5 million in real estate tax assessments at a number of our properties, the most significant increases at properties located in Texas and Illinois.  This increase in real estate taxes was partially offset by a real estate tax refund, net of related professional fees, of approximately $0.5 million for fiscal years 2002 through 2004 at our Thirty South property, which was received in 2007.

 

Cost of construction and services decreased approximately $3.8 million, or 11%. This decrease is primarily due to the level and timing of third party construction contracts during 2007 compared to 2006, partially offset by the net increase in costs associated with the sale of build-to-suit assets.  In 2007, we had costs associated with the sale of a build-to-suit asset at Sandifur Plaza of $4.1 million and in 2006 we had $3.5 million of costs associated with the sale of a build-to-suit asset at Bridgewater Marketplace.

 

General, administrative and other expenses increased approximately $1.0 million, or 18%. In 2007, general, administrative and other expenses were 4.5% of total revenue and in 2006, general, administrative and other expenses were 4.1% of total revenue. This increase in general, administrative and other expenses was primarily due to higher share-based incentive compensation costs and increased staffing attributable to our growth.  The costs of operating as a public company remained relatively flat between years.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $2.3 million, or 8%, due to the following:

Excluding the changes due to the acquisition of properties, transitioned development properties, and the properties under redevelopment, the net $0.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the following:

 

·                  $0.9 million net increase in the acceleration of depreciation of vacated tenant costs at our fully operational properties during 2007 compared to 2006; and

·                  $0.8 million increase due to the write off of intangible lease assets in connection with the termination of a lease at our Silver Glen Crossings property in 2007.

 

These increases in depreciation and amortization expenses were partially offset by the following:

 

·                  $0.9 million decrease reflecting the termination of our lease with Marsh Supermarkets at Naperville Marketplace and the subsequent sale of the facility in the second quarter of 2006; and

·                  $0.6 million of intangible lease obligations written down related to our lease with Winn-Dixie at our Shops at Eagle Creek property, which was terminated in 2006.

 

Other income, net increased approximately $0.4 million, or 126%, primarily as a result of a $0.5 million payment received from a lender in consideration for our agreement to terminate a loan commitment in 2007.

Excluding the changes due to the acquisition of properties and transitioned development properties, the net $1.9 million increase in interest expense was primarily due to the following:

 

·                  $2.1 million increase attributable to the addition of a fixed rate debt instrument on our Traders Point property in July of 2006;

·                  $0.1 million increase due to higher average balance on our line of credit; and

·                  $0.1 million increase due to fixed rate financing placed on one of our properties in December 2006.

 

These increases in interest expense were partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease due to interest expense incurred in the first quarter of 2006 at the Naperville Marsh Supermarkets, which was sold during the second quarter of 2006.

 

Loss on sale of asset was $0.8 million in 2006.  In June 2006, we terminated our lease with Marsh Supermarkets and subsequently sold the store at our Naperville Marketplace property to Caputo’s Fresh Markets and recorded a loss on the sale of approximately $0.8 million (approximately $0.5 million after tax). The total proceeds from these transactions of $14 million included a $2.5 million note from Marsh with monthly installments payable through June 30, 2008, and $2.5 million of cash received from the termination of our lease with Marsh. As of December 31, 2008, all amounts had been collected under the note. Marsh Supermarkets at Naperville Marketplace was owned by our taxable REIT subsidiary. The net proceeds from this sale were used to pay off related indebtedness of approximately $11.6 million. We continue to develop the remainder of the Naperville Marketplace development property.

 

Gain on sale of operating property was $2.0 million in 2007.  In November 2007, we sold our 176th & Meridian property, located in Seattle, Washington, for net proceeds of $7.0 million and a gain of $2.0 million.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Current State of Capital Markets and Our Financing Strategy

 

Our primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-effective way. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings, including the purchase price of properties to be developed or acquired with debt financing, the estimated market value of our properties and our Company as a whole upon consummation of the refinancing and the ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover expected debt service. As discussed in more detail above in “Overview”, the challenging market conditions that currently exist have created a need for most REITs, including us, to place a significant amount of emphasis on financing and capital strategies.

 

In 2008, we reduced the aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding under our unsecured credit facility in an effort to have that source of financing available to fund our development and redevelopment projects and pay down maturing debt. In July and August 2008, we obtained $55 million of proceeds from a term loan that matures in July 2011, as described in more detail below, majority of the proceeds of which were used to pay down borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. In addition, in October 2008, we completed an offering of our common shares that raised approximately $47.8 million of net proceeds, the majority of which was used to pay down outstanding borrowings under our unsecured credit facility.  As a result, approximately $77 million was available under that facility as of December 31, 2008.

 

In addition to raising new capital, we have also been successful in refinancing or extending the maturities of a significant portion of our debt that is scheduled to mature in 2009. For example, in October 2008, we extended the maturity dates from 2009 to 2010 on our debt at four of our consolidated properties (Estero Town Center, Tarpon Springs Plaza, Rivers Edge Shopping Center, and Bridgewater Marketplace). In addition, in October and December 2008, we refinanced debt at our Gateway Shopping Center and Bayport Commons properties, respectively, and extended the maturity dates from 2009 to 2011. As a result of these actions, we extended the maturity dates to 2010 or later on approximately $100.6 million of indebtedness previously due in 2009. We continue to conduct negotiations with our existing and potential replacement lenders to refinance or obtain extensions on our remaining 2009 maturities, which total approximately $83.9 million (approximately $108.0 million when including our share of unconsolidated debt) at December 31, 2008, excluding scheduled monthly principal payments for 2009. While we can give no assurance, due to these efforts and the current status of negotiations with existing and alternative lenders for our near-term maturing indebtedness, we currently believe we will have the ability to extend, refinance, or repay all of our debt that is maturing through at least 2009.

 

20



 

We were also able to effectively recycle capital by selling two of our operating properties, which is another aspect of our financing strategy. In December 2008 we sold our Silver Glen Crossing property, a wholly-owned property in our retail portfolio, and Spring Mill Medical, Phase I, an unconsolidated commercial property that was owned 50% through a joint venture with a third party. In addition, our 50% owned consolidated joint venture sold Spring Mill Medical, Phase II, a build-to-suit commercial asset located in Indianapolis, Indiana that was owned in our taxable REIT subsidiary. Utilizing the net proceeds of these sales, we were able to generate net cash of approximately $23.6 million, which was primarily used to pay down borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

 

In the future, we may raise additional capital by pursuing joint venture capital partners and/or disposing of additional properties that are no longer a core component of our growth strategy.  We will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities.

 

As of December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $10 million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regards to our cash and cash equivalents.  We place our cash and temporary cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions.  From time to time, such investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits, however we attempt to limit our exposure at any one time.

 

Our Principal Capital Resources

 

Our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

 

Our Operating Partnership has entered into an amended and restated four-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of lenders and Key Bank National Association, as agent (the “unsecured facility”). As of December 31, 2008, our outstanding indebtedness under the unsecured facility was approximately $105 million, bearing interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points. Factoring in our hedge agreements, at December 31, 2008, our weighted average interest rate on our unsecured revolving credit facility was approximately 5.06%.

 

The amount that we may borrow under the unsecured facility is based on the value of assets in the unencumbered property pool.  We currently have 53 unencumbered properties and other assets, 51 of which are wholly owned and used to calculate the amount available for borrowing under the unsecured credit facility and two of which are owned through joint ventures. The major unencumbered assets include: Broadstone Station, Courthouse Shadows, Eagle Creek Lowes, Eastgate Pavilion, Four Corner Square, Hamilton Crossing, King’s Lake, Market Street Village, Naperville Marketplace, PEN Products, Publix at Acworth, Red Bank Commons, Shops at Eagle Creek, Traders Point II, Union Station Parking Garage, Wal-Mart Plaza, and Waterford Lakes.  As of December 31, 2008 the amounts available to us for future draws was approximately $77 million.

 

We and several of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries are guarantors of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the unsecured facility. The unsecured facility has a maturity date of February 20, 2011, with an option for a one-year extension. Borrowings under the unsecured facility bear interest at a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 115 to 135 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio.  The unsecured facility has a 0.125% to 0.20% commitment fee applicable to the average daily unused amount.  Subject to certain conditions, including the prior consent of the lenders, we have the option to increase our borrowings under the unsecured facility to a maximum of $400 million if there are sufficient unencumbered assets to support the additional borrowings.  As discussed in more detail below under “2009 Debt Maturities”, we may seek to increase the unencumbered asset pool related to the facility in order to increase our borrowing capacity. The unsecured facility also includes a short-term borrowing line of $25 million with a variable interest rate.  Borrowings under the short-term line may not be outstanding for more than five days.

 

Our ability to borrow under the unsecured facility is subject to ongoing compliance with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales.  In addition, the unsecured facility requires us to satisfy certain financial covenants, including:

 

·                  a maximum leverage ratio of 65% (or up to 70% in certain circumstances);

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the unsecured facility) to fixed charges coverage ratio of at least 1.50 to 1;

 

·                  minimum tangible net worth (defined as Total Asset Value less Total Indebtedness) of $300 million (plus 75% of the net proceeds of any future equity issuances);

 

21



 

·                  ratio of net operating income of unencumbered property to debt service under the unsecured facility of at least 1.50 to 1;

 

·                  minimum unencumbered property pool occupancy rate of 80%;

 

·                  ratio of variable rate indebtedness to total asset value of no more than 0.35 to 1; and

 

·                  ratio of recourse indebtedness to total asset value of no more than 0.30 to 1.

 

We were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the unsecured facility as of December 31, 2008.

 

Under the terms of the unsecured facility, we are permitted to make distributions to our shareholders of up to 95% of our funds from operations provided that no event of default exists. If an event of default exists, we may only make distributions sufficient to maintain our REIT status.  However, we may not make any distributions if an event of default resulting from nonpayment or bankruptcy exists, or if our obligations under the credit facility are accelerated.

 

Term Loan

 

On August 18, 2008, we entered into an amendment to a $30 million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan Amendment”) with KeyBank National Association, as Original Lender and Agent, Raymond James Bank and Royal Bank of Canada that was originally entered into on July 15, 2008. The Term Loan Amendment, among other things, increased the amount of borrowings under the original Term Loan agreement by an additional $25 million, which amount was subsequently drawn, resulting in an aggregate amount outstanding under the Term Loan of $55 million. The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the Term Loan and we and several of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries are guarantors of the Operating Partnership’s obligations there under. The majority of the proceeds of borrowings under the Term Loan were used to pay down borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. In connection with the Term Loan, in September 2008, we entered into a cash flow hedge for $55 million at a fixed interest rate of 5.92%.

 

The Term Loan has a scheduled maturity date of July 15, 2011. Borrowings under the Term Loan will bear interest at a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 265 basis points. Our ability to borrow under the Term Loan will be subject to ongoing compliance by us, the Operating Partnership and our subsidiaries with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales.  In addition, the Term Loan requires that we satisfy certain financial covenants that are substantially the same as those under the unsecured credit facility, as described above. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Term Loan as of December 31, 2008.

 

Capital Markets

 

We have filed a registration statement, and subsequent prospectus supplements related thereto, with the Securities and Exchange Commission allowing us to offer, from time to time, common shares or preferred shares for an aggregate initial public offering price of up to $500 million. In October 2008, we issued 4,750,000 common shares for offering proceeds, net of offering costs, of approximately $47.8 million.  We will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities.

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Needs

 

Overview

 

We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. While we believe that the nature of the properties in which we typically invest—primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers—provides a relatively stable revenue flow in uncertain economic times, the current general economic downturn is adversely affecting the ability of some of our tenants to meet their lease obligations, as discussed in more detail above in “Overviewon page 40. These conditions, in turn, are having a negative impact on our business. If the downturn in the financial markets and economy is prolonged, our cash flow from operations could be significantly affected.

 

Short-Term Liquidity Needs

 

The nature of our business, coupled with the requirements for qualifying for REIT status (which includes the stipulation that we distribute to shareholders at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income) and to avoid paying tax on our income, necessitate that we distribute a substantial majority of our income on an annual basis, which will cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on our debt, expected dividend payments (including distributions to persons who hold units in our Operating Partnership) and recurring capital expenditures. Each quarter we discuss with our Board of Trustees (the “Board”) our liquidity requirements along with other relevant factors before the Board decides whether and in what amount to declare a distribution.  In February 2009, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.1525 per common share for the quarter ending March 31, 2009.  This distribution represents a reduction from the amount paid in the prior quarter thereby allowing us to conserve additional liquidity.  We, along with our Board, will continue to evaluate our distribution policy on a quarterly basis as we monitor the capital markets and the impact of the economy on our operations.

 

When we lease space to new tenants, or renew leases for existing tenants, we also incur expenditures for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions. This amount, as well as the amount of recurring capital expenditures that we incur, will vary from year to year. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred approximately $0.5 million of costs for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties and also incurred approximately $1.0 million of costs for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions. In addition, we currently anticipate incurring approximately $2.2 million in additional tenant improvements and renovation costs within the next twelve months at our Cedar Hill Plaza property to replace the former anchor tenant’s space with the property’s new anchor.

 

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity needs through borrowings under the unsecured facility, new construction loans, cash generated from operations and, to the extent necessary, accessing the public equity and debt markets to the extent that we are able.

 

2009 Debt Maturities

 

As of December 31, 2008, approximately $83.9 million of our consolidated outstanding indebtedness was scheduled to mature in 2009 (approximately $108.0 million when including our share of unconsolidated debt), excluding scheduled monthly principal payments for 2009. Our current plans with respect to each of these loans are as follows:

 

·                  The construction loan on our Beacon Hill property ($11.9 million) matures in March 2009. This loan has a five year extension option with a debt service coverage ratio of 1.2x. We currently anticipate paying down the loan with land sale proceeds and/or utilizing our unsecured revolving credit facility prior to original maturity;

·                  The variable rate mortgage loan on our Fishers Station property ($4.2 million) matures in June 2009. We are currently in discussions with lenders on a three to five year loan and anticipate closing on the loan in the second quarter of 2009;

·                  The construction loan on our Cobblestone Plaza property ($30.5 million) matures in June 2009. We are currently in discussions with the lender to extend the maturity date of that loan and anticipate closing on the loan in the first quarter of 2009;

 

23



 

·                  The variable rate land loan on our Delray Marketplace property ($9.4 million) matures in July 2009. We are currently in discussions with the lender on an extension of the current loan or a new construction loan at the property;

·                  The fixed rate mortgage loan at our Ridge Plaza property ($16.0 million) matures in October 2009. We currently plan to negotiate a three to five year loan in mid-2009 or utilize our unsecured revolving credit facility to pay it off prior to original maturity, while increasing total availability on the unsecured facility by increasing the unencumbered asset pool;

·                  The fixed rate mortgage loan at our Boulevard Crossing property ($11.9 million) matures in December 2009. We currently plan to negotiate a three to five year loan in mid-2009 or utilize our unsecured revolving credit facility to pay it off prior to original maturity, while increasing total availability on the unsecured facility by increasing the unencumbered asset pool; and

·                  The variable rate land loan at our unconsolidated joint venture property Parkside Town Commons ($55.0 million, our share of which is $22.0 million) matures in August 2009. We are currently in discussions with the lender for an 18-month extension on the loan.

 

Long-Term Liquidity Needs

 

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the development of new properties, redevelopment of existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, acquisitions of properties, and payment of indebtedness at maturity.

 

Redevelopment Properties. As of December 31, 2008, five of our properties (Shops at Eagle Creek, Bolton Plaza, Rivers Edge, Courthouse Shadows and Four Corner Square) were undergoing major redevelopment activities.  We anticipate our investment in these redevelopment projects will be a total of approximately $11 million, which we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund through borrowings through our unsecured credit facility.

 

Development Properties. As of December 31, 2008, we had three development projects in our current development pipeline.  The total estimated cost, including our share and our joint venture partners’ share, for these projects is approximately $91 million, of which approximately $48 million had been incurred as of December 31, 2008. Our share of the total estimated cost of these projects is approximately $68 million, of which we have incurred approximately $30 million as of December 31, 2008.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through existing construction loans, including the construction loan on Eddy Street Commons that closed in December 2008, with a total loan commitment of approximately $29.5 million, of which no amounts were outstanding at December 31, 2008.  In addition, if necessary, we may make draws on our unsecured credit facility. See below for a more complete discussion of this development project.

 

The most significant project in our current development pipeline is Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame located adjacent to the university in South Bend, Indiana, that is expected to include retail, office, hotels, a parking garage, apartments and residential units.  The Eddy Street Commons project is discussed in detail below under “Contractual Obligations — Obligations in Connection with Our Development, Redevelopment and Visible Shadow Pipeline”.

 

“Visible Shadow” Development Pipeline. In addition to our current development pipeline, we have a “visible shadow” development pipeline which includes land parcels that are in various stages of preparation for construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and negotiations for third party financing.  As of December 31, 2008, this visible shadow pipeline consisted of six projects that are expected to contain approximately 2.9 million square feet of total leasable area. We currently anticipate the total estimated cost of these six projects will be approximately $383 million, of which our share is currently expected to be approximately $244 million. However, we are generally not contractually obligated to complete any developments in our visible shadow pipeline, as these projects consist of land parcels on which we have not yet commenced construction. With respect to each asset in the visible shadow pipeline, our policy is to not commence vertical construction until pre-established leasing thresholds are achieved and the requisite third-party financing is in place.  Once these projects are transferred to the current development pipeline, we intend to fund our investment in these developments primarily through new construction loans and joint ventures, as well as borrowings on our unsecured facility, if necessary.

 

Selective Acquisitions, Developments and Joint Ventures. We may selectively pursue the acquisition and development of other properties, which would require additional capital. It is unlikely we would have sufficient funds on hand to meet these long-term capital requirements. We would have to satisfy these needs through participation in joint

 

24



 

venture arrangements, additional borrowings, sales of common or preferred shares and/or cash generated through property dispositions.  We cannot be certain that we would have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if at all, to fund our long-term liquidity requirements. Our ability to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general capital market conditions, which is discussed in more detail above in “Overview”.

 

We have entered into an agreement (the “Venture”) with Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”) to pursue joint venture opportunities for the development and selected acquisition of community shopping centers in the United States. The agreement allows for the Venture to develop or acquire up to $1.25 billion of well-positioned community shopping centers in strategic markets in the United States. Under the terms of the agreement, we have agreed to present to PREI opportunities to develop or acquire community shopping centers, each with estimated project costs in excess of $50 million.  We have the option to present to PREI additional opportunities with estimated project costs under $50 million. The agreement allows for equity capital contributions of up to $500 million to be made to the Venture for qualifying projects.  We expect contributions would be made on a project-by-project basis with PREI contributing 80% and us contributing 20% of the equity required. Our first project with PREI is Parkside Town Commons, which is currently in our visible shadow development pipeline.

 

Cash Flows

 

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2008 to the Year Ended December 31, 2007

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $41.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $2.9 million from 2007. The increase was primarily due to a change in accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and other liabilities of $6.9 million between years, which was primarily due to construction related expenses as well as the conservation of cash. This increase was partially offset by a change in deferred costs and other assets of $4.3 million between years.

 

Cash used in our investing activities totaled $95.7 million in 2008, a decrease of $1.0 million from 2007. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily a result of an increase of $17.0 million in net proceeds from the sale of an operating property, which was the result of the net proceeds from the 2008 sale of Silver Glen Crossings compared to the 2007 sale of 176th & Meridian.  This was partially offset by an increase of $12.4 million in acquisitions of interests in properties and capital expenditures.

 

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $45.5 million during 2008, a decrease of $8.1 million from 2007. The net of loan proceeds, transaction costs and payments decreased $53.7 million between years primarily due to the $118.1 million draw from the new unsecured credit facility in 2007 compared to the $55 million proceeds received under the Term Loan in 2008, both of which were used to repay previously outstanding indebtedness. This was partially offset by the $48.3 million of offering proceeds, the majority of which was received in October 2008 when we completed an equity offering of 4,750,000 common shares at an offering price of $10.55 per share.

 

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2007 to the Year Ended December 31, 2006

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $38.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $7.1 million from 2006. The increase resulted largely from the addition of four operating properties purchased in 2006, the opening of several properties that were under development during 2006, and the change in tenant receivables and deferred costs and other assets between years of $13.1 million.   These increases were partially offset by a change in accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenues, and other liabilities between years of approximately $8.3 million.

 

Cash used in our investing activities totaled $96.7 million in 2007, a decrease of $123.4 million from 2006. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily a result of a decrease of $123.6 million in property acquisition and capital expenditures in 2007 compared to 2006.  In addition, during 2006, we realized net proceeds of $11.1 million from the termination of our lease with Marsh Supermarkets at Naperville Marketplace and the related sale of this asset.

 

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $53.6 million during 2007, a decrease of $144.2 million from 2006. Proceeds from loan transactions, net of loan transaction costs, decreased approximately $206.5 million between periods.  This decrease was largely due to new debt obtained during 2006 for the purchase of four operating properties, an outside partners’ interest in a consolidated property, the financing of the acquisition of development land parcels, and the funding

 

25



 

of development activity.  In 2007, a significant portion of proceeds from loan transactions was related to the draw of $118.1 million from the new unsecured credit facility to repay the principal amount outstanding under our then-existing secured revolving credit facility and retire the secured revolving credit facility.  Loan payments also decreased $63.5 million between years, which was primarily the result of the repayment of short-term borrowings related to the acquisition of properties in 2006.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  We do, however, have certain obligations to some of the projects in our current development pipeline, including our obligations in connection with our Eddy Street Commons development, as discussed below in “Contractual Obligations”, as well as our joint venture with PREI with respect to our Parkside Town Commons development, as discussed above.  As of December 31, 2008, we owned a 40% interest in this joint venture which, under the terms of this joint venture, will be reduced to 20% upon project specific construction financing.

 

As of December 31, 2008, our share of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness was $24.1 million.  Unconsolidated joint venture debt is the liability of the joint venture and is typically secured by the assets of the joint venture.  As of December 31, 2008, the Operating Partnership had guaranteed unconsolidated joint venture debt of $22.0 million in the event the joint venture partnership defaults under the terms of the underlying arrangement, all of which was related to the Parkside Town Commons development.  Mortgages which are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership are secured by the property of the joint venture and that property could be sold in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation.  See Note 6 “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in this Form 10-K, for information on our unconsolidated joint ventures for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

(1)

 

In connection with the Company’s IPO and related formation transactions, we entered into employment agreements with certain members of senior management. Under the agreements, each person received a stipulated annual salary through December 31, 2008. Each agreement has an automatic one-year renewal unless we or the employee elects not to renew the agreement. The contracts were extended through December 31, 2009.

(2)

 

The table above includes contracts executed as of December 31, 2008.

 

In 2008, we incurred $29.4 million of interest expense, net of amounts capitalized of $10.1 million.

 

Although we cannot provide assurance of our ability to execute on our financing strategy, we intend to satisfy the approximately $170 million of contractual obligations that are due in 2009 primarily by refinancing and/or extending the maturity dates of maturing indebtedness, draws on our revolving credit facility, and obtaining new financing, as well as cash generated from operations. See “2009 Maturities” on page 59 for additional information with respect to our current plan to address our indebtedness maturing in fiscal year 2009.

 

26



 

In connection with our formation at the time of our IPO, we entered into an agreement that restricts our ability, prior to December 31, 2016, to dispose of six of our properties in taxable transactions and limits the amount of gain we can trigger with respect to certain other properties without incurring reimbursement obligations owed to certain limited partners. We have agreed that if we dispose of any interest in six specified properties in a taxable transaction before December 31, 2016, then we will indemnify the contributors of those properties for their tax liabilities attributable to their built-in gain that exists with respect to such property interest as of the time of our IPO (and tax liabilities incurred as a result of the reimbursement payment).

 

The six properties to which our tax indemnity obligations relate represented approximately 19% of our annualized base rent in the aggregate as of December 31, 2008. These six properties are International Speedway Square, Shops at Eagle Creek, Whitehall Pike, Ridge Plaza Shopping Center, Thirty South, and Market Street Village.

 

Construction Contracts

 

Construction contracts in the table above represent commitments for contracts executed as of December 31, 2008 related to new developments, redevelopments and third-party construction.

 

Obligations in Connection with Our Current Development, Redevelopment and Visible Shadow Pipeline

 

We are obligated under various contractual arrangements to complete the projects in our current development pipeline. We currently anticipate our share of the cost of the three projects in our current development pipeline will be approximately $68 million (including $35 million of costs associated with Phase I of our Eddy Street Commons development discussed below), of which approximately $38 million of our share was unfunded as of December 31, 2008.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through existing construction loans, including the construction loan on Eddy Street Commons that closed in December 2008, with a total loan commitment of approximately $29.5 million, of which no amounts were outstanding at December 31, 2008.  In addition, if necessary, we may make draws on our unsecured credit facility.

 

In addition to our current development pipeline, we also have a redevelopment pipeline and a “visible shadow” development pipeline, which includes land parcels that are undergoing pre-development activity and are in various stages of preparation for construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and negotiations for third party financings. Generally, we are not contractually obligated to complete any projects in our redevelopment or visible shadow pipelines, as these consist of land parcels on which we have not yet commenced construction. With respect to each asset in the visible shadow pipeline, our policy is to not commence vertical construction until appropriate pre-leasing thresholds are met and the requisite third-party financing is in place.

 

Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame

 

The most significant project in our current development pipeline is Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame located adjacent to the university in South Bend, Indiana, that is expected to include retail, office, hotels, a parking garage, apartments and residential units.  A portion of the office space will be leased to the University of Notre Dame.  The City of South Bend has contributed $35 million to the development, funded by tax increment financing (TIF) bonds issued by the City and a cash commitment from the City both of which are being used for the construction of a parking garage and infrastructure improvements in this project.

 

This development will be completed in several phases. The initial phase of the project is currently under construction and will consist of the retail, office and apartment and residential units with an estimated total cost of $70 million, of which our share is estimated to be $35 million. The ground beneath the initial phase of the development is leased from the University of Notre Dame over a 75 year term at a fixed rate for first two years and based on a percentage of certain revenues thereafter.  The total estimated project costs for all phases of this development are currently estimated to be approximately $200 million, our share of which is currently expected to be approximately $64 million. Our exposure to this amount may be limited under certain circumstances.

 

We will own the retail and office components while the apartments will be owned by a third party. Portions of this initial phase are scheduled to open in late 2009. The hotel components of the project will be owned through a joint venture while the apartments and residential units are planned to be sold or operated through relationships with developers, owners

 

27



 

and operators that specialize in residential real estate. We do not expect to own either the residential or the apartment complex components of the project, although we have jointly guaranteed the apartment developer’s construction loan. At December 31, 2008, vertical construction had not yet commenced; therefore, the balance outstanding under the construction loan was not significant. We expect to receive development, construction management, loan guaranty and other fees from various aspects of this project.

 

We have a contractual obligation in the form of a completion guarantee to the University of Notre Dame and to the City of South Bend to complete all phases of the project, with the exception of certain of the residential units, consistent with commitments we typically make in connection with other bank-funded development projects.  To the extent the hotel joint venture partner, the apartment developer/owner or the residential developer/owner fail to complete those aspects of the project, we will be required to complete the construction, at which time we expect that we would seek title to the assets and assume any construction borrowings related to the assets.  We will have certain remedies against the developers if they were to fail to complete the construction. If we fail to fulfill our contractual obligations in connection with the project, but are using our best efforts, we may be held liable but we have limited our liability to both the University of Notre Dame and the City of South Bend.

In December 2008, we reclassified this loan from a variable rate debt loan - secured by properties under construction to a variable rate mortgage loan, as construction activities were substantially completed at the property.

(2)

 

This loan has a LIBOR floor of 3.15%.

(3)

 

We entered into a cash flow hedge agreement on this debt instrument to fix the interest rate. See fixed rate within the fixed rate hedged details in the table above.

(4)

 

The interest rate decreases from LIBOR+125 to LIBOR+115 on $11 million, which is the amount fixed through a cash flow hedge agreement.

 

Funds From Operations

 

Funds From Operations (“FFO”), is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which we refer to as the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 

Given the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definitions differently than we do.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Kite Realty Group Trust:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kite Realty Group Trust and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a).  These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Kite Realty Group Trust and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, 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 financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Kite Realty Group Trust and Subsidiaries have retrospectively applied certain reclassification adjustments upon adoption of a new accounting pronouncement for noncontrolling interests.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Kite Realty Group Trust and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 13, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Kite Realty Group Trust
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (As Adjusted)
December 31, 2008

 

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization

 

Kite Realty Group Trust (the “Company” or “REIT”) was organized in Maryland in 2004 to succeed to the development, acquisition, construction and real estate businesses of Kite Property Group (the “Predecessor”). The Predecessor was owned by Al Kite, John Kite and Paul Kite (the “Principals”) and certain executives and other family members and consisted of the properties, entities and interests contributed to the Company or its subsidiaries by its founders and is the predecessor of Kite Realty Group Trust. The Company began operations in 2004 when it completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common shares and concurrently consummated certain other formation transactions.

 

The Company, through the Operating Partnership, is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, expansion and development of neighborhood and community shopping centers and certain commercial real estate properties. The Company also provides real estate facilities management, construction, development and other advisory services to third parties through its taxable REIT subsidiaries.

 

At December 31, 2008, the Company owned interests in 56 operating properties (consisting of 52 retail properties, three commercial operating properties and an associated parking garage) and had interests in eight properties under development or redevelopment. Of the 64 total properties held at December 31, 2008, the Company owned a controlling interest in all but one operating property and one parcel of pre-development land (collectively the “unconsolidated joint venture properties”), both of which are accounted for under the equity method.

 

At December 31, 2007, the Company owned interests in 55 operating properties (consisting of 50 retail properties, four commercial operating properties and an associated parking garage) and had interests in 11 entities that held development or redevelopment properties. Of the 66 total properties held at December 31, 2007, two operating properties were owned through joint ventures that were accounted for under the equity method.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of Kite Realty Group Trust are presented on a consolidated basis and include all of the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

 

The Company consolidates properties that are wholly-owned and properties in which it owns less than 100% but it controls. Control of a property is demonstrated by:

 

·                  our ability to manage day-to-day operations;

·                  our ability to refinance debt and sell the property without the consent of any other partner or owner;

·                  the inability of any other partner or owner to replace us; or

·                  being the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.

 

The Company’s determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between the Company and the VIE, including management agreements and other contractual arrangements, when determining the party obligated to absorb the majority of the expected losses, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). There have been no changes during 2008 in conclusions about whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any previously identified VIE. During 2008, the Company has not provided financial or other support to a previously identified VIE that it was not previously contractually obligated to provide.

 

Of the 64 total properties held at December 31, 2008, the Company owned a controlling interest in all except one operating property and one parcel of pre-development land, both of which are accounted for under the equity method.  As

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

of December 31, 2008 the Company had investments in six joint ventures that are VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2008, these VIEs had total debt of approximately $105 million which is secured by assets of the VIEs with a book value of approximately $175 million.  The Operating Partnership guarantees the debt of these VIEs.

 

The Company allocates net operating results of the Operating Partnership based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest. The Company adjusts the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership. This adjustment is reflected in the Company’s shareholders’ equity. The Company’s and the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average interests in the Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Purchase Accounting

 

The purchase price of properties is allocated to tangible assets and identified intangibles acquired based on their fair values in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”). In making estimates of fair values for the purpose of allocating purchase price, a number of sources are utilized. We also consider information about each property obtained as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of tangible assets and intangibles acquired.

 

A portion of the purchase price is allocated to tangible assets and intangibles, including:

 

·                  the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and to land determined either by real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data;

 

·                  above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair

 

F-7



 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Should a tenant vacate, terminate its lease, or otherwise notify the Company of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income; and

 

·                  the value of leases acquired. The Company utilizes independent sources for their estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. The Company’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors the Company considers in their analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.

 

The Company also considers whether a portion of the purchase price should be allocated to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value. Characteristics we consider in allocating these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. To date, a tenant relationship has not been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value.

 

Beginning fiscal year 2009, the Company will apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations — Revised” to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will require the Company to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) will modify SFAS No. 141’s cost-allocation process, which currently requires the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS No. 141(R) requires the costs of an acquisition to be recognized in the period incurred.

 

Investment Properties

 

Investment properties are recorded at cost and include costs of acquisitions, development, predevelopment, construction costs, certain allocated overhead, tenant allowances and improvements, and interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction. Significant renovations and improvements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. If a tenant vacates a space prior to the lease expiration, terminates its lease, or otherwise notifies the Company of its intent to do so, any related unamortized tenant allowances are immediately expensed.  Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful lives of the respective assets are reflected in property operating expense.

 

The Company incurs costs prior to land acquisition and for certain land held for development including acquisition contract deposits, as well as legal, engineering and other external professional fees related to evaluating the feasibility of developing a shopping center. These pre-development costs are included in land held for development in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If the Company determines that the development of a property is no longer probable, any pre-development costs previously incurred are immediately expensed. Once construction commences on the land, the related capitalized costs are transferred to construction in progress.

 

The Company also capitalizes costs such as construction, interest, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs of personnel directly involved with the development of our properties.  As a portion of the development property becomes operational, the Company expenses appropriate costs on a pro rata basis.

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” (“SFAS No. 144”), management reviews investment properties and intangible assets within the real estate operation and development segment for impairment on a property-by-property

 

F-8



 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment properties may not be recoverable. Impairment analysis requires management to make certain assumptions and requires significant judgment. Management does not believe any investment properties were impaired at December 31, 2008.

 

Impairment losses for investment properties are recorded when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Impairment losses are measured as the excess carrying value over the fair value of the asset.  In connection with the Company’s standard practice of regular evaluation of development-related assets, approximately $0.1 million, $0.5 million and $0.1 million was written off in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively ($0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million after tax).

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, operating properties held for sale include only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year. Operating properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period.

 

The Company’s properties generally have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the operations reported in discontinued operations include those operating properties that were sold or considered held-for-sale and for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished. The operations from these properties are eliminated from ongoing operations and the Company will not have a continuing involvement after disposition. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations to the extent they are material to the results of operations.

 

Depreciation on buildings and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over an estimated original useful lives ranging from 10 to 35 years. Depreciation on tenant allowances and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease. Depreciation on equipment and fixtures is provided utilizing the straight-line method over 5 to 10 years.

 

Escrow Deposits

 

Escrow deposits typically consist of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance and other requirements at specific properties as required by lending institutions. In addition, at December 31, 2007, proceeds from the sale of the Company’s 176th & Meridian property that were held at an intermediary in anticipation of a future like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (see Note 9) and amounts received in connection with the Company’s note with Marsh Supermarkets for the June 2006 termination of a lease and subsequent sale of the asset at Naperville Marketplace (see Note 10) were also classified as escrow deposits.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Cash paid for interest, net of capitalized interest, and cash paid for taxes for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:

Accrued but unpaid distributions were $8.7 million and $7.6 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrows and deposits approximate fair value.

 

As of January 1, 2008, the Company began accounting for its derivative financial instruments at their fair value, calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, as discussed below under “Derivative Financial Instruments”.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.  SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). As further discussed in Note 12, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

As lessor, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment properties and accounts for its leases as operating leases.

 

Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on tenants’ sales volume (contingent percentage rent). Percentage rents are recognized when tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements.  Percentage rents are included in other property related revenue in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expense is incurred.

 

Gains and losses on sales of real estate are recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”. In summary, gains and losses from sales are not recognized unless a sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership, and the Company does not have a substantial continuing financial involvement in the property.  As part of the Company’s ongoing business strategy, it will, from time to time, sell land parcels and outlots, some of which are ground leased to tenants.  Gains realized on such sales were $10.4 million, $7.2 million, and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are classified as other property related revenue in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to the estimated total cost for each contract. Project costs include all direct labor, subcontract, and material costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance costs incurred to date.  Project costs do not include uninstalled materials. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

From time to time, the Company will construct and sell build-to-suit merchant assets to third parties.  Proceeds from the sale of build-to-suit merchant assets are included in construction and service fee revenue and the related costs of the sale of these assets are included in cost of construction and services in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  Proceeds from such sales were $10.6 million, $6.1 million and $5.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and the associated construction costs were $9.4 million, $4.1 million, and $3.5 million, respectively.

 

Development and other advisory services fees are recognized as revenues in the period in which the services are rendered. Performance-based incentive fees are recorded when the fees are earned.

 

Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46R, which replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46 which was issued in January 2003. FIN 46R explains how to identify variable interest entities and how to assess whether to consolidate such entities. In general, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. In addition, in June 2005, the FASB issued EITF 04-05, “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”. EITF 04-05 requires the Company to consolidate certain entities in which it owns less than 100% of the equity interest if it is the general partner and the limited partners do not have substantive rights.  The adoption of EITF 04-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  Prior to the issuance of FIN 46R and EITF 04-05, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46R and EITF 04-05 change that by requiring a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both or if the company is the general partner in an agreement that does not provide the limited partners with substantive rights.

 

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting as it exercises significant influence over, but does not control, operating and financial policies. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.

 

The Company guarantees approximately $99.5 million of consolidated joint venture indebtedness ($121.5 million including the Company’s share of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness).

 

Tenant Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Tenant receivables consist primarily of billed minimum rent, accrued and billed tenant reimbursements and accrued straight-line rent. The Company generally does not require specific collateral other than corporate or personal guarantees from its tenants.

 

An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants or others to meet contractual obligations under their lease or other agreements. Accounts are written off when, in the opinion of management, the balance is uncollectible.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other Receivables

 

Other receivables consist primarily of receivables due in the ordinary course of the Company’s construction and advisory services business.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regards to its cash and cash equivalents.  The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions.  From time to time, such investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits. In addition, the Company’s accounts receivable from tenants potentially subjects it to a concentration of credit risk related to its accounts receivable. At December 31, 2008, approximately 44%, 21% and 12% of property accounts receivable were due from tenants leasing space in the states of Indiana, Florida, and Texas, respectively.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding combined with the incremental average shares that would have been outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive shares were converted into common shares as of the earliest date possible.

 

Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding share options, units in the Operating Partnership, which may be exchanged for cash or shares under certain circumstances, and deferred share units, which may be credited to the accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, all of the Company’s outstanding deferred share units had a potentially dilutive effect. In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, outstanding share options also had a potentially dilutive effect. The dilutive effect of these securities was as follows:

169,886

 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2008, all of the Company’s outstanding common share options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.

 

The effect of conversion of units of the Operating Partnership is not reflected in diluted common shares, as they are exchangeable for common shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on the same basis and reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Therefore, the assumed conversion of these units would have no effect on the determination of income per common share.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” which requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value, calculated in accordance with SFAS No.

 

F-12



 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

157. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument through the use of interest rate swaps or rate locks.

 

SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges be recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) while any ineffective portion of the derivative’s change in fair value be recognized immediately in earnings. Upon settlement of the hedge, gains and losses associated with the transaction are recorded in OCI and amortized over the underlying term of the hedge transaction. All of the Company’s derivative instruments qualify for hedge accounting.

 

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance

 

The Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax purposes, qualifies as a REIT and generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its shareholders.  REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements.  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 rates.  The Company may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income even if it does qualify as a REIT.  For example, the Company will be subject to income tax to the extent it distributes less than 90% of its REIT taxable income (including capital gains).

 

The Company has elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) status for some of its subsidiaries under Section 856(1) of the Code. This enables the Company to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for REITs. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”) and FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN No. 48”), deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the enacted rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. SFAS No. 109 and FIN No. 48 also require that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Income tax provisions for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were approximately $1.9 million, $0.8 million, $1.0 million, respectively. Income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2008 included approximately $1.2 million incurred in connection with the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary sale of land in the first quarter of 2008 as well as $0.5 million incurred in connection with the sale of Spring Mill Medical, Phase II, a consolidated joint venture property that owned a build-to-suit commercial asset.

 

Franchise and other taxes were not significant in any of the periods presented.

 

Retrospective Adjustments Related to Noncontrolling Interests

 

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”).  SFAS 160 requires certain noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary to be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest to be identified in the consolidated financial statements. As a result of the retrospective adoption of SFAS 160, the Company reclassified noncontrolling interest from the liability section to the equity section in its accompanying consolidated balance sheets “as adjusted” and as an allocation of net income rather than an expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations “as adjusted.”  As a result of the reclassification, total equity at December 31, 2005 increased $4.8 million.

As part the adoption of SFAS 160, the Company also applied the measurement provisions of EITF Topic D-98 “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities” (“EITF D-98”).  As a result of the adoption of SFAS 160, as well as applying the measurement provisions of EITF D-98, the Company did not change the classification of redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because the Company may be required to pay cash to unitholders upon redemption of their interest in the limited partnership under certain circumstances.  Noncontrolling interests, including redeemable noncontrolling interests, previously were included as an expense to arrive at consolidated net income.  The noncontrolling interests are now presented on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as an allocation of consolidated net income.

 

The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

The measurement provisions of EITF D-98 require that the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership be reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid in capital.  The application of this provision increased the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests by $52.8 million, $77.6 million, and $49.1 million as of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, with corresponding decreases to additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets “as adjusted.”  As of December 31, 2008, the historic book value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests exceeded the redemption value, so no adjustment was necessary to apply the measurement provisions of EITF D-98.

 

Although the presentation of certain of the Company’s noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries did change as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 and EITF D-98, it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.  In addition to the reclassified amounts related to the adoption of SFAS 160 as discussed above, the Company also reclassified certain prior year amounts related to discontinued operations to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income attributable to the Company.

 

Note 3. Share-Based Compensation

 

Overview

 

The Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) authorizes options and other share-based compensation awards to be granted to employees and trustees for up to 2,000,000 common shares of the Company. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions provided under SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment”.

 

The total share-based compensation expense, net of amounts capitalized, included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $0.8 million, $0.5 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.  Total share-based compensation cost capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, related to development and leasing personnel.

 

As of December 31, 2008, there were 365,485 shares available for grant under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Share Options

 

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company periodically grants options to purchase common shares at an exercise price equal to the grant date per-share fair value of the Company’s common shares. Granted options typically vest over a five year period and expire ten years from the grant date.  The Company issues new common shares upon the exercise of options.

 

For the Company’s share option plan, the grant date fair value of each grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model utilizes assumptions related to the dividend yield, expected life and volatility of the Company’s common shares and the risk-free interest rate. The dividend yield is based on the Company’s

 

F-15



 

Note 3. Share-Based Compensation (continued)

 

historical dividend rate. The expected life of the grants is derived from expected employee duration, which is based on Company history, industry information and other factors. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price and other factors.

 

The following summarizes the weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal periods 2008, 2007, and 2006:

The aggregate intrinsic value of the 4,958 and 40,199 options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $17,460 and $97,800, respectively.  No options were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

The weighted average remaining contractual term of the outstanding and exercisable options at December 31, 2008 were as follows:

These options had no aggregate intrinsic value as of December 31, 2008 as the exercise price was greater than the Company’s closing share price on December 31, 2008.

 

As of December 31, 2008, there was $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding unvested share option awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.  We expect to incur approximately $0.3 million of this expense in fiscal year 2009, approximately $0.2 million in fiscal year 2010, approximately $0.2 million in fiscal year 2011 and the remainder in fiscal year 2012.

 

Restricted Shares

 

In addition to share option grants, the Plan also authorizes the grant of share-based compensation awards in the form of restricted common shares. Under the terms of the Plan, these restricted shares, which are considered to be outstanding shares from the date of grant, typically vest over a period ranging from one to five years. In addition, the Company pays dividends on restricted shares that are charged directly to shareholders’ equity.

During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company granted 41,618 and 30,206 restricted shares to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Trustees with weighted average grant date fair values of $20.21 and $15.89, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $0.5 million, $0.3 million, and $0.1 million.

 

As of December 31, 2008, there was $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted shares granted under the Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. We expect to incur approximately $0.5 million of this expense in fiscal year 2009, approximately $0.3 million in fiscal year 2010, approximately $0.1 million in fiscal year 2011 and the remainder in fiscal year 2012.

 

Deferred Share Units Granted to Trustees

 

In addition, the Plan allows for the deferral of certain equity grants into the Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan.  The Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan authorizes the issuance of “deferred share units” to the Company’s non-employee trustees.  Each deferred share unit is equivalent to one common share of the Company. Non-employee trustees receive an annual retainer, fees for Board meetings attended, Board committee chair retainers and fees for Board committee meetings attended. Except as described below, these fees are typically paid in cash or common shares of the Company.

 

Under the Plan, deferred share units may be credited to non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of common shares.  In addition, beginning on the date on which deferred share units are credited to a non-employee trustee, the number of deferred share units credited is increased by additional deferred share units in an amount equal to the relationship of dividends declared to the value of the Company’s common shares.  The deferred share units credited to a non-employee trustee are not settled until he or she ceases to be a member of the Board of Trustees, at which time an equivalent number of common shares will be issued.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, three trustees elected to receive a portion of their compensation in deferred share units and an aggregate of 11,270, 4,611, and 3,610 deferred share units, respectively, including dividends that were reinvested for additional share units, were credited to those non-employee trustees based on a weighted-average grant date fair value of $9.28, $17.21, and $15.76, respectively. During each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company incurred $0.1 million of compensation expense related to deferred share units credited to non-employee trustees.

 

Other Equity Grants

 

During the years ended 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company issued 3,006, 2,091 and 3,190 unrestricted common shares, respectively, with weighted average grant date fair values of $12.47, $17.91, and $15.76 per share, respectively, to non-employee members of our Board of Trustees in lieu of 50% of their annual retainer compensation.

Note 4. Deferred Costs

 

Deferred costs consist primarily of financing fees incurred to obtain long-term financing and broker fees and capitalized salaries and related benefits incurred in connection with lease originations. Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective loan agreements. Deferred leasing costs include lease intangibles and other and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, deferred costs consisted of the following:

Note 5. Deferred Revenue and Other Liabilities

 

Deferred revenue and other liabilities consist of the unamortized in-place lease liabilities, construction billings in excess of costs, construction retainages payable, tenant rents received in advance and deferred income taxes. The amortization of in-place lease liabilities is recognized as revenue over the remaining life of the leases through 2027. Construction contracts are recognized as revenue using the percentage of completion method. Tenant rents received in advance are recognized as revenue in the period to which they apply, usually the month following their receipt.

Note 6. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

 

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had one equity interest in an unconsolidated entity that owns and operates a rental property (The Centre). The Company owned a 60% interest in The Centre, which represents a sufficient interest in the entity in order to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies. Accordingly, this investment is accounted for using the equity method.

 

In addition, as of December 31, 2008, the Company owned a non-controlling interest in one pre-development land parcel (Parkside Town Commons), which was also accounted for under the equity method as the Company’s ownership represents a sufficient interest in the entity in order to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies. Parkside Town Commons is owned through an agreement (the “Venture”) with Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”). In September 2006, the Venture was established to pursue joint venture opportunities for the development and selected acquisition of community shopping centers in the United States. In December 2006, the Company contributed 100 acres of development land located in Cary, North Carolina, to the Venture at its cost of $38.5 million, including the Venture’s assumption of $35.6 million of variable rate debt. In August 2007, the Venture purchased approximately 17 acres of additional land in Cary, North Carolina for a purchase price of approximately $3.4 million, including assignment costs, which was funded through draws from the Venture’s variable rate construction loan.  This land is adjacent to land previously purchased by the Company in 2006.  The Venture is in the process of developing this land, along with the 100 acres purchased in 2006, into an approximately 1.5 million total square foot mixed-use shopping center. As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned a 40% interest in the Venture which, under the terms of the Venture, will be reduced to 20% upon project specific construction financing.

 

In December 2008, the Company’s 50% owned unconsolidated joint venture sold Spring Mill Medical, Phase I. This property is located in Indianapolis, Indiana and was sold for approximately $17.5 million, resulting in a gain on the sale of approximately $3.5 million, of which the Company’s share was approximately $1.2 million, net of the Company’s excess investment. Net proceeds of approximately $14.4 million from the sale of this property were utilized to purchase securities which were used to defease the related mortgage loan. The Company established legal isolation with respect to the mortgage and therefore the Company was released of its obligations under the mortgage. The joint venture was required by the buyer to defease the mortgage loan prior to closing and in doing so, incurred approximately $2.7 million of expense, which is reflected as a reduction to the gain on sale of the property. The Company used the majority of its share of the remaining net proceeds to pay down borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

 

Prior to the Company’s sale of its interest in this property, the joint venture sold a parcel of land for net proceeds of approximately $1.1 million, of which the Company’s share was $0.6 million.

 

Combined summary financial information of entities accounted for using the equity method of accounting and a summary of the Company’s investment in and share of income from these entities follows:

Note 6. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures (continued)

 

“Excess investment” represents the unamortized difference of the Company’s investment over its share of the equity in the underlying net assets of the joint ventures acquired. The Company amortizes excess investment over the life of the related property of no more than 35 years and the amortization is included in equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities. The Company periodically reviews its ability to recover the carrying values of its investments in joint venture properties. If the Company were to determine that any portion of its investment, including excess investment, is not recoverable, the Company would record an adjustment to write off the unrecoverable amounts.

 

Unconsolidated joint venture debt is the liability of the joint venture and is typically secured by the assets of the joint venture. As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s share of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness was $24.1 million, all of which is due in fiscal year 2009, $22.0 million of which is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership.  In the event the joint venture partnership defaults under the terms of the underlying arrangement, secured property of the joint venture could be sold in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation prior to the Operating Partnership’s requirement to satisfy the guarantee.

 

The most significant component of this indebtedness is the $55.0 million variable rate construction loan at Parkside Town Commons, of which the Company’s share is $22.0 million. This loan matures in August 2009 and the Company is currently in discussions with the lender for an 18-month extension on the loan.

 

Note 7. Significant Acquisition Activity

 

2008 Acquisitions

 

The Company made the following significant acquisitions in 2008:

 

·                           In July 2008, the Company purchased approximately 123 acres of land in Holly Springs, North Carolina for $21.6 million, which was funded with borrowings from the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. In addition, on October 1, 2008, the Company purchased an additional 18 acres of land adjacent to this location for approximately $5.0 million, which was also funded with borrowings from the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. These land parcels may be used for future development purposes.

 

·                           In April 2008, one of the Company’s consolidated joint ventures, in which the Company owns an 85% interest, purchased approximately four acres of land in Indianapolis, Indiana, commonly known as Pan Am Plaza. The Company funded the joint venture’s purchase with borrowings from the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. This land is situated across the street from the Indiana Convention Center and adjacent to the recently constructed Indianapolis Colts football stadium.  The joint venture intends to develop restaurants and retail space on this property.

 

·                           In February 2008, the Company purchased Rivers Edge Shopping Center, a 110,875 square foot shopping center located in Indianapolis, Indiana, for $18.3 million, with the intent to redevelop (See Note 8).  The Company utilized approximately $2.7 million of proceeds from the November 2007 sale of its 176th & Meridian property.  The remaining purchase price of $15.6 million was funded initially through a draw on the Company’s unsecured credit facility and subsequently refinanced with a variable rate loan bearing interest at LIBOR + 125 basis points and maturing on February 3, 2009. In October 2008, the Company extended the maturity date on this loan one additional year.  The Company is in the process of redeveloping this property. The results of operations of 176th & Meridian have been reflected as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

 

The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to tangible and identified intangibles acquired based on their fair values in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”). The fair value of real estate acquired is allocated to land and buildings, while the fair value of in-place leases, consisting of above-market and below-market rents and other intangibles, is allocated to intangible assets and liabilities.

Note 7. Significant Acquisition Activity (continued)

 

2007 Acquisitions

 

The Company made the following significant land acquisitions in 2007:

 

·                           In January 2007, the Company purchased approximately ten acres of land in Naples, Florida for approximately $6.3 million with borrowings from its then-existing secured revolving credit facility.  This land is adjacent to 15.4 acres previously purchased by the Company in 2005.

 

·                           In March 2007, the Company purchased approximately 105 acres of land in Apex, North Carolina for approximately $14.5 million with borrowings from the unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company is in the process of developing this land into an approximately 345,000 total square foot shopping center.  Some portions of land at this property may be sold to third parties in the future.

 

·                           In August 2007, the Company purchased approximately 14 acres of land in South Elgin, Illinois for approximately $5.9 million with borrowings from its unsecured revolving credit facility.  The first phase of this development is in the current development pipeline and once completed, this phase of the development will consist of a 45,000 square foot a single tenant building. The second phase of this development is in the Company’s visible shadow pipeline and once completed, this phase of the development is expected to consist of approximately 263,000 square feet, including non-owned anchor space.

 

2006 Acquisitions

 

The Company acquired and placed into service the following retail operating properties in 2006:

 

·                           In April 2006, the Company purchased Kedron Village, a shopping center located in Peachtree, Georgia for a total purchase price of approximately $34.9 million, net of purchase price adjustments, including tenant improvement and leasing commission credits, of $2.0 million. When purchased, Kedron Village was under construction and not an operating property. The property became partially operational in the third quarter of 2006 and became fully operational during the fourth quarter of 2006. To finance this purchase, the Company incurred new short-term variable rate debt against the Traders Point property. In September 2006, permanent financing was obtained and a portion of the proceeds was used to repay the short-term debt. The new fixed rate debt has an original principal amount of $48.0 million, bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.86% and matures in October 2016.

 

·                           In July 2006, the Company purchased three operating properties located in Naples Florida for a total combined purchase price of approximately $57.9 million (Courthouse Shadows for $19.8 million, Pine Ridge Crossing for $22.6 million, and Riverchase Shopping Center for $15.5 million). To finance the purchase price of these properties, the Company incurred variable rate indebtedness of $57.9 million. In September, 2006, permanent financing with a combined original principal amount of $28.0 million was obtained on Pine Ridge Crossing and Riverchase at a fixed rate of 6.34% with a maturity of October 2016.

 

In addition, in July 2006, the Company acquired the remaining 15% economic interest from its joint venture partner in Wal-Mart Plaza in Gainesville, Florida for $3.9 million and assumed management responsibilities for the property.  This acquisition was financed with borrowings from the Company’s revolving credit facility.

 

Amounts allocated to intangible assets in connection with the 2006 acquisitions totaled $7.5 million and are included in buildings and improvements and deferred costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amounts allocated to intangible liabilities representing the adjustment of acquired leases to market value totaled $7.0 million and are included in deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The intangible assets and liabilities are amortized over each tenant’s remaining lease term which ranged from 0.2 to 9.4 years at the date of acquisition. In the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, the operating results of the acquired properties are included in results of operations from their respective dates of purchase.

 

Also during 2006, the Company acquired interests in various parcels of land for a total acquisition cost of approximately $56.2 million. The Company acquired these parcels for future development.

 

F-22



 

Note 7. Significant Acquisition Activity (continued)

 

The Company has entered into master lease agreements with the seller in connection with certain property acquisitions. These payments are due to the Company when tenant occupancy is below the level specified in the purchase agreement. The payments are accounted for as a reduction of the purchase price of the acquired property and totaled approximately $0.1 million, $0.8 million and $0.1 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Future amounts receivable through 2009 total approximately $43,000 unless the space is leased during the period in which case the payments cease.

 

Note 8. Redevelopment Activity

 

Shops at Eagle Creek

 

The Company is currently redeveloping the space formerly occupied by Winn-Dixie at the Shops at Eagle Creek in Naples, Florida into two smaller spaces.  Staples signed a lease for approximately 25,800 square feet of the space and opened for business in August 2008.  The Company is continuing to market the remaining space for lease.  The Company has also completed a number of additional renovations at the property throughout 2008, including a new roof on the Staples and remaining junior anchor spaces, new store fronts, masonry additions to the façade and columns as well as new parking lot pavement, parking bumpers and striping.  The Company currently anticipates its total investment in the redevelopment at Shops at Eagle Creek will be approximately $3.5 million.

 

Bolton Plaza

 

The Company is in the process of redeveloping its Bolton Plaza Shopping Center in Jacksonville, Florida. The former anchor tenant’s lease at the shopping center expired in May 2008 and was not renewed. This property was moved to the redevelopment pipeline in the second quarter of 2008. The Company currently anticipates its total investment in the redevelopment at Bolton Plaza will be approximately $2.0 million.

 

Rivers Edge

 

The Company is in the process of redeveloping its Rivers Edge Shopping Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. The current anchor tenant’s lease at this property will expire in March 2010 and the Company is marketing the space to potential anchor tenants for the center if the current anchor tenant does not renew its lease. This property was moved to the redevelopment pipeline in the second quarter of 2008. The Company currently anticipates its total investment in the redevelopment at Rivers Edge will be approximately $2.5 million.

 

Courthouse Shadows

 

The Company is in the process of redeveloping its Courthouse Shadows Shopping Center in Naples, Florida. The Company intends to modify the existing façade, pylon signage, and upgrade the landscaping and lighting. Publix recently purchased the lease of the former anchor tenant, has performed certain improvements and intends to occupy the space in the first half of 2009. In addition to the existing center, the Company may construct an additional building to support approximately 6,000 square feet of small shop space. This property was moved to the redevelopment pipeline in the third quarter of 2008. The Company currently anticipates its total investment in the redevelopment at Courthouse Shadows will be approximately $2.5 million.

 

Four Corner Square

 

The Company is currently redeveloping its Four Corner Square Shopping Center in Maple Valley, Washington. In addition to the existing center, the Company also owns approximately ten acres of land that is in our visible shadow pipeline that is adjacent to the center which may be utilized in the redevelopment. The Company anticipates the majority of the existing center will remain open during the redevelopment. This property was moved to the redevelopment pipeline in the third quarter of 2008. The Company currently anticipates its total investment in the redevelopment at Four Corner Square will be approximately $0.5 million.

Note 9. Discontinued Operations

 

In December 2008, the Company sold its Silver Glen Crossings property, located in Chicago, Illinois, for net proceeds of $17.2 million and recognized a loss on sale of $2.7 million. The majority of the net proceeds from this sale were used to pay down borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The results related to this property have been reflected as discontinued operations for fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Amounts were not reclassified for fiscal years 2007 and 2006 as they were not considered material to the financial statements.

 

In November 2007, the Company sold its 176th & Meridian property, located in Seattle, Washington, for net proceeds of $7.0 million and a gain of $2.0 million.  The results related to this property have been reflected as discontinued operations for fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company anticipated utilizing the proceeds from the sale to execute a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code in 2008 and in February 2008, did so when it purchased Rivers Edge Shopping Center (see Note 7). At December 31, 2007, the net proceeds from the sale were being held by an intermediary and were classified as escrow deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

The results of the discontinued operations related to the sale of these properties were comprised of the following for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006:

(1)                    The Company entered into two certain cash flow hedge agreements that fix interest on portions of its line of credit. The weighted average interest rate on the line of credit, including the effect of the hedge agreements on the facility, was 4.96% and 6.06% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(2)                    In September 2008, the Company entered into a cash flow hedge for the entire $55 million outstanding under the Term Loan at a fixed interest rate of 5.92%.

(3)                    In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company reclassified approximately $73.8 million of previously classified variable rate construction notes at four properties to variable rate mortgage notes, as construction activities were substantially completed at these properties.

 

LIBOR was 0.44% and 4.60% as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had loan borrowing proceeds of $249.5 million and loan repayments of $218.2 million.  The major components of this activity are as follows:

 

·                           In December 2008, the Company placed variable rate debt at its Glendale Town Center property with an interest rate of LIBOR + 2.75% and a maturity date of December 2011. This variable rate loan has a total commitment of $24.0 million and at December 31, 2008, approximately $21.8 million was outstanding. The proceeds from this loan were primarily used to repay the variable rate construction loans at three of our properties, as discussed below;

 

·                           In December 2008, the Company repaid the total combined outstanding indebtedness of approximately $22.4 million at three of its operating properties (Red Bank Commons, Traders Point II, and Naperville Marketplace);

·                           In December 2008, in connection with sale of its Spring Mill Medical, Phase II non-operating build-to-suit commercial development asset, the Company repaid the property’s outstanding indebtedness of approximately $6.7 million;

 

·                           In December 2008, in connection with the sale of its Silver Glen Crossing, Spring Mill Medical, Phase I operating properties and its Spring Mill Medical, Phase II non-operating build-to-suit commercial development asset, the Company generated net proceeds of approximately $23.6 million to pay down borrowings on its unsecured revolving credit facility;

 

·                           In October 2008, as further discussed in Note 14, the Company completed an equity offering of 4,750,000 common shares under a previously filed registration statement, for net offering proceeds of approximately $47.8 million, all of which was used to repay borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility;

 

·                           In October 2008, the Company refinanced variable rate debt at its Gateway Shopping Center and extended the maturity date from August 2009 to October 2011. At the time of the loan’s original maturity, approximately $19.2 million was outstanding. As refinanced, at December 31, 2008, approximately $20.1 million was outstanding under the new loan, which has a $22.5 million total loan commitment;

 

·                           In July 2008, as further described below, the Company entered into a $30 million unsecured term loan agreement which has an accordion feature that enables the Company to increase the loan amount up to a total of $60 million, subject to certain conditions. In August 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to the unsecured term loan agreement which, among other things, increased the amount available for borrowing under the original term loan agreement by an additional $25 million. This amount was subsequently drawn, resulting in an aggregate amount outstanding under the term loan of $55 million. The majority of the total proceeds were used to pay down borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility;

Subsequently, the Company placed $16.6 million of variable rate debt on this property with an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.25% and a maturity date of February 3, 2009, the proceeds of which were used to pay down borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility. In October 2008, the Company extended the maturity date on this loan one additional year;

 

·                           In addition to the preceding activity, the Company used proceeds from its unsecured revolving credit facility and other borrowings (exclusive of repayments) totaling approximately $74.1 million for development, redevelopment, acquisitions and general working capital purposes; and

 

·                           The Company made scheduled principal payments totaling approximately $3.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

 

In February 2007, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated four-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “unsecured facility”) with a group of financial institutions led by Key Bank National Association, as agent. The Company and several of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries are guarantors of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the unsecured facility. The unsecured facility has a maturity date of February 20, 2011, with a one-year extension option.  Initial proceeds of approximately $118 million were drawn from the unsecured facility to repay the principal amount outstanding under the Company’s then-existing secured revolving credit facility and retire the secured revolving credit facility.  Borrowings under the unsecured facility bear interest at a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 115 to 135 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.  The unsecured facility has a 0.125% to 0.20% commitment fee applicable to the average daily unused amount.  Subject to certain conditions, including the prior consent of the lenders, the Company has the option to increase its borrowings under the unsecured facility to a maximum of $400 million if there are sufficient unencumbered assets to support the additional borrowings. The unsecured facility also

 

F-26



 

Note 11. Mortgage Loans and Line of Credit (continued)

 

includes a short-term borrowing line of $25 million with a variable interest rate.  Borrowings under the short-term line may not be outstanding for more than five days.

 

The amount that the Company may borrow under the unsecured facility is based on the value of assets in its unencumbered property pool.  The Company has 53 unencumbered properties and other assets of which 51 are wholly owned and used as collateral under the unsecured credit facility and two of which are owned through joint ventures.   The major unencumbered assets include: Broadstone Station, Courthouse Shadows, Eagle Creek Lowes, Eastgate Pavilion, Four Corner Square, Hamilton Crossing, King’s Lake Square, Market Street Village, Naperville Marketplace, PEN Products, Publix at Acworth, Red Bank Commons, Shops at Eagle Creek, Traders Point II, Union Station Parking Garage, Wal-Mart Plaza and Waterford Lakes. As of December 31, 2008, the total amount available for borrowing under the unsecured facility was approximately $77 million.

 

The Company’s ability to borrow under the unsecured facility is subject to ongoing compliance with various restrictive covenants similar to those in its previous secured credit facility, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales.  In addition, the unsecured facility, like the previous secured credit facility, requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants, including:

 

·                  a maximum leverage ratio of 65% (or 70% in certain circumstances);

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the unsecured facility) to fixed charges coverage ratio of at least 1.50 to 1;

 

·                  minimum tangible net worth (defined as Total Asset Value less Total Indebtedness) of $300 million (plus 75% of the net proceeds of any future equity issuances);

 

·                  ratio of net operating income of unencumbered property to debt service under the unsecured facility of at least 1.50 to 1;

 

·                  minimum unencumbered property pool occupancy rate of 80%;

 

·                  ratio of variable rate indebtedness to total asset value of no more than 0.35 to 1; and

 

·                  ratio of recourse indebtedness to total asset value of no more than 0.30 to 1.

 

The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the unsecured facility as of December 31, 2008.

 

Under the terms of the unsecured facility, the Company is permitted to make distributions to its shareholders of up to 95% of its funds from operations provided that no event of default exists. If an event of default exists, the Company may only make distributions sufficient to maintain its REIT status.  However, the Company may not make any distributions if an event of default resulting from nonpayment or bankruptcy exists, or if its obligations under the credit facility are accelerated.

 

Term Loan

 

On July 15, 2008, the Operating Partnership entered into a $30 million unsecured term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”) arranged by KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., which has an accordion feature that enables the Operating Partnership to increase the loan amount up to a total of $60 million, subject to certain conditions. The Operating Partnership’s ability to borrow under the Term Loan is subject to ongoing compliance by the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales.  In addition, the Term Loan requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants. The Term Loan matures on July 15, 2011 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 265 basis points. A significant portion of the initial

 

F-27



 

Note 11. Mortgage Loans and Line of Credit (continued)

 

$30 million of proceeds from the Term Loan was used to pay down borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

 

On August 18, 2008, the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to the Term Loan, which, among other things, increased the amount available for borrowing under the original term loan agreement by an additional $25 million. This amount was subsequently drawn, resulting in an aggregate amount outstanding under the Term Loan of $55 million. The additional $25 million of proceeds of borrowings under the Term Loan were used to pay down borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. In connection with the term loan, in September 2008, we entered into a cash flow hedge for the entire $55 million outstanding at an interest rate of 5.92%.

 

The Company’s ability to borrow under the Term Loan will be subject to ongoing compliance by the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales.  In addition, the Term Loan requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants that are substantially similar to the covenants under the unsecured credit facility, as described above. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Term Loan as of December 31, 2008.

As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of fixed rate debt was approximately $355.3 million compared to the book value of $332.6 million. The fair value was estimated using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged from 3.33% to 5.01%. As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of variable rate debt was approximately $342.6 million compared to the book value of $345.1 million. The fair value was estimated using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged from 2.94% to 4.50%.

 

The Company is currently in various stages of negotiations with lender regarding the indebtedness maturing in fiscal year 2009. Excluding scheduled monthly principal payments, approximately $84 million of consolidated indebtedness is due in fiscal year 2009, of which approximately $11.9 million is due in the first quarter of 2009, $34.7 million in the second quarter, $9.4 million in the third quarter, and the remainder in the fourth quarter.

 

F-28



 

Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company is exposed to capital market risk, including changes in interest rates.  In order to manage volatility relating to interest rate risk, the Company enters into interest rate hedging transactions from time to time.  The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes nor does the Company currently have any derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company was party to eight consolidated cash flow hedge agreements for a total of $197.9 million, which fix interest rates at 4.88% to 6.75% and mature over various terms through 2011. In addition, one of the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture properties is party to a cash flow hedge agreement on $42.0 million of debt, of which the Company’s share is $16.8 million, that fixes the interest rate at 5.60% and matures in March 2009.

 

The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, implied volatilities, and the creditworthiness of both the Company and the counterparty.

 

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

 

SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

 

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

To comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

 

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties.  However, as of December 31, 2008, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to

 

F-29



 

Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

 

the overall valuation of its derivatives.  As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The only assets or liabilities that the Company records at fair value on a recurring basis are interest rate hedge agreements. The fair value of the Company’s share of the consolidated interest rate hedge agreements as of December 31, 2008 was approximately $8.0 million, net of redeemable noncontrolling interests, including accrued interest. In addition, at December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $133.7 million of consolidated interest rate swaps outstanding with a fair value of $2.4 million, net of redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company’s share of the change in net unrealized loss for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $4.6 million, $3.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and is recorded in shareholders’ equity as other comprehensive loss. The Company expects approximately $4.9 million to be an offset to interest expense as the hedged forecasted interest payments occur. No hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges was recognized during any period presented. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings during 2009.

 

The Company’s share of net unrealized losses on its interest rate hedge agreements are the only components of its accumulated comprehensive income calculation. The following sets forth comprehensive loss allocable to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006:

Note 13. Lease Information

 

Tenant Leases

 

The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail and commercial space under operating leases. The leases generally provide for certain increases in base rent, reimbursement for certain operating expenses and may require tenants to pay contingent rentals to the extent their sales exceed a defined threshold. The weighted average initial term of the lease agreements is approximately 16 years. During the periods ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company earned percentage rent of $0.4 million, $1.1 million, and $1.2 million, respectively, including the Company’s joint venture partners’ share of $0, $20,580, and $32,840, respectively. During both of the periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, $0.4 million percentage rent related to the Union Station parking garage lease that was changed to a management agreement in 2008.

 

As of December 31, 2008, future minimum rentals to be received under non-cancelable operating leases for each of the next five years and thereafter, excluding tenant reimbursements of operating expenses and percentage rent based on sales volume, are as follows:

Lease Commitments

 

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company was obligated under seven ground leases for approximately 40 acres of land with four landowners which require fixed annual rent. The expiration dates of the initial terms of these ground leases range from 2012 to 2083. These leases have five to ten year extension options ranging in total from 20 to 30 years. Ground lease expense incurred by the Company on these operating leases for each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $1.0 million, of which approximately $0.1 million was capitalized as a project cost of the Company’s Eddy Street Commons development, as discussed below.

 

As further discussed in Note 17, the Company is currently developing Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame. Beginning in June 2008, in accordance with the operating agreement in place, the Company began making ground lease payments to the University of Notre Dame for the land beneath the initial phase of the development.  This lease agreement is for a 75 year term at a fixed rate for the first two years, after which payments are based on a percentage of certain revenues.  The table below reflects the fixed term of this ground lease in fiscal years 2009 and 2010. Contingent amounts are not reflected in the table below for fiscal years 2012 and beyond.

F-31



 

Note 14. Shareholders’ Equity and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests (continued)

 

In 2006, the Company established a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the “Dividend Reinvestment Plan”). The Dividend Reinvestment Plan offers investors a dividend reinvestment component to invest all or a portion of the dividends on their common shares, or cash distributions on their units in the Operating Partnership, in additional common shares as well as a direct share purchase component which permits Dividend Reinvestment Plan participants and new investors to purchase common shares by making optional cash investments with certain restrictions.

 

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

 

Concurrent with the Company’s IPO and related formation transactions, certain individuals received units of the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests in certain properties. Limited Partners were granted the right to redeem Operating Partnership units on or after August 16, 2005 for cash in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of common shares at the time of redemption. The Company also has the right to redeem the Operating Partnership units directly from the limited partner in exchange for either cash in the amount specified above or a number of common shares equal to the number of units being redeemed. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, 285,769, 64,367, and 216,049, respectively, Operating Partnership units were exchanged for the same number of common shares.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame

 

The most significant project in the Company’s current development pipeline is Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame located adjacent to the university in South Bend, Indiana, that is expected to include retail, office, hotels, a parking garage, apartments and residential units.  A portion of the office space will be leased to the University of Notre Dame.  The City of South Bend has contributed $35 million to the development, funded by tax increment financing (TIF) bonds issued by the City and a cash commitment from the City both of which are being used for the construction of a parking garage and infrastructure improvements in this project.

 

This development will be completed in several phases. The initial phase of the project is currently under construction and will consist of the retail, office, apartments, and residential units with an estimated total cost of $70 million, of which the Company’s share is estimated to be $35 million. The ground beneath the initial phase of the development is leased from the University of Notre Dame over a 75 year term at a fixed rate for first two years and based on a percentage of certain revenues thereafter.  The total estimated project costs for all phases of this development are currently estimated to be approximately $200 million, the Company’s share of which is currently expected to be approximately $64 million. The Company’s exposure to this amount may be limited under certain circumstances.

 

The Company will own the retail and office components while the apartments will be owned by a third party. Portions of this initial phase are scheduled to open in late 2009. The hotel components of the project will be owned through a joint venture while the apartments and residential units are planned to be sold and operated through relationships with developers, owners and operators that specialize in residential real estate. The Company does not expect to own either the residential or the apartment complex components of the project, although it has jointly guaranteed the apartment developer’s construction loan.  At December 31, 2008, vertical construction had not yet commenced; therefore, the balance outstanding under the construction loan was not significant. The Company expects to receive development, construction management, loan guaranty and other fees from various aspects of this project.

 

The Company has a contractual obligation in the form of a completion guarantee to the University of Notre Dame and to the City of South Bend to complete all phases of the project, with the exception of certain of the residential units, consistent with commitments we typically make in connection with other bank-funded development projects.  To the extent the hotel joint venture partner, the apartment developer/owner or the residential developer/owner fail to complete those aspects of the project, the Company will be required to complete the construction, at which time it expects that it would seek title to the assets and assume any construction borrowings related to the assets.  The Company will have certain remedies against the developers if they were to fail to complete the construction. If the Company fails to fulfill its contractual obligations in connection with the project, but are using its best efforts, the Company may be held liable but it has limited its liability to both the University of Notre Dame and the City of South Bend.

 

Joint Venture Indebtedness

 

Joint venture debt is the liability of the joint venture under circumstances where the lender has limited recourse to the Company. As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s share of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness was approximately $24.1 million.  As of December 31, 2008, the Operating Partnership had guaranteed unconsolidated joint venture debt of $22.0 million in the event the joint venture partnership defaults under the terms of the underlying arrangement.  Mortgages which are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership are secured by the property of the joint venture, and the Operating Partnership has the right to attempt to sell the property in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation.

 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is not subject to any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against the Company other than routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that such routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

 

F-35



 

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $7.6 million, approximately $4.1 million of which all requirements have been satisfied. At that date, there were no amounts advanced against these instruments.

 

Note 18. Employee 401(k) Plan

 

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which it matches 100% of the employee’s contribution up to 3% of the employee’s salary and 50% of the employee’s contribution up to 5% of the employee’s salary, not to exceed an annual maximum of $15,000.  The Company contributed to this plan $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

 

Note 19. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment to SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”  SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”).  SFAS 160 requires certain  noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary to be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest to be identified in the consolidated financial statements. As a result of the retrospective adoption of SFAS 160, the Company reclassified noncontrolling interest from the liability section to the equity section in its accompanying consolidated balance sheets “as adjusted” and as an allocation of net income rather than an expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations “as adjusted.”

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.”  SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  SFAS No. 159 does not permit fair value measurement for certain assets and liabilities, including consolidated subsidiaries, interests in VIEs, and assets and liabilities recognized as leases under SFAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases”.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this Statement as of January 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
