Acquisition Activities
During 2006, the Company acquired thirteen shopping and convenience centers containing approximately 1.7 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $177.3 million. The Company also acquired eight tracts of land for future development, aggregating approximately 179 acres, at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $32.5 million. As of the end of 2006, the Company owned 97 supermarket-anchored shopping centers and drug store-anchored convenience centers located in nine states with 10.1 million square feet of GLA. The Company expects to complete additional acquisitions of primarily supermarket-anchored shopping centers and development sites during 2007 and beyond.
Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Company completed the purchase of two additional operating properties, aggregating approximately 152,000 square feet of GLA. The aggregate purchase price for the properties was approximately $16.8 million, including closing costs.
Development and Redevelopment Activities
The Company’s current development and redevelopment pipeline includes (i) nine owned and operating properties earmarked for redevelopment, including two de-malling candidates, and (ii)
2
eleven properties for ground-up development, consisting of approximately 196 acres of land under ownership plus another 78 acres of land under contract to the Company. The total project costs for the pipeline, including original acquisition costs, are estimated at approximately $262 million.
New Leases
As of this date, annual base rents, excluding tenant reimbursements, for leases that have been signed, but where the tenants have not yet taken occupancy, encompassed approximately 226,000 square feet and amounted to approximately $3.5 million. Revenues from these leases are expected to commence during 2007 ($1.7 million) and 2008 ($1.8 million). After giving effect to such new leases, the occupancy rate for the portfolio of properties held as of December 31, 2006 would have increased from 92.5% to approximately 92.9%.
Equity and Debt Financings During 2006
The Company received $113.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of 7.5 million shares of common stock in a secondary offering concluded in December, $94.1 million in net proceeds from the settlement of the forward sales agreement and sales of common stock under registered deferred offering programs, and $118.9 million in net proceeds from mortgage financings. The proceeds were used initially to reduce the outstanding balance on the Company’s secured revolving credit facility.
Balance Sheet
The Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2006 were $1.25 billion as compared to $996.3 million as of December 31, 2005. Cedar’s pro rata share of total debt to total market capitalization ratio closed 2006 at 40%, down from 48% at the end of 2005. The pro rata share of fixed rate non-recourse debt amounted to 87% of total debt at the end of 2006, up from 62% at the end of 2005; at year end 2006, the pro rata share of total floating-rate debt had been substantially reduced to $73.3 million from $186.4 million at the end of 2005. Balances outstanding under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility declined to $68.5 million at the end of 2006 from $147.5 million at the end of 2005. The Company’s weighted average interest rate on total debt at the end of 2006 was 5.8%, unchanged from the end of 2005.
Tom O’Keeffe, CFO, stated, “We begin 2007 in a solid financial position. In addition to our improved debt profile, we reduced a substantial portion of the outstanding borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility during 2006. The $209.5 million available capacity under our credit facility, combined with our $17.9 million in available cash, and the additional liquidity that would result from joint venture financing, will allow us to continue to opportunistically expand our portfolio and finance our ongoing development and redevelopment plans.”
Guidance
The Company presently expects FFO for 2007 to be in the range of $1.25 to $1.30 per share/OP Unit. This reflects the substantial increase in the Company’s weighted average number of shares of common stock/OP Units outstanding.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made or incorporated by reference in this press release include certain “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements containing the words “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “future”, and words of similar import which express Company’s beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future performance or future events or trends. While forward-looking statements reflect good faith beliefs, expectations or intentions, they are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of factors outside of the Company’s control. Certain factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: real estate investment considerations, such as the effect of economic and other conditions in general and in the Company’s market areas in particular; the financial viability of the Company’s tenants; the continuing availability of suitable acquisitions, and development and redevelopment opportunities, on favorable terms; the availability of equity

and debt capital in the public and private markets; changes in interest rates; the fact that returns from development, redevelopment and acquisition activities may not be at expected levels or at expected times; inherent risks in ongoing development and redevelopment projects including, but not limited to, cost overruns resulting from weather delays, changes in the nature and scope of development and redevelopment efforts, changes in governmental regulations related thereto, and market factors involved in the pricing of material and labor; the need to renew leases or re-let space upon the expiration of current leases; and the financial flexibility to repay or refinance debt obligations when due.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures — FFO
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. In addition, FFO is useful to investors as it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income, when trying to understand an equity REIT’s operating performance. The Company presents FFO because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Among other things, the Company uses FFO or an FFO-based measure (1) as one of several criteria to determine performance-based bonuses for members of senior management, (2) in performance comparisons with other shopping center REITs, and (3) to measure compliance with certain financial covenants under the terms of the Loan Agreement relating to the Company’s secured revolving credit facility.
The Company computes FFO in accordance with the “White Paper” on FFO published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net income applicable to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures (which are computed to reflect FFO on the same basis).
FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income applicable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating activities. FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of REITs, as the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one company to another. The following table sets forth the Company’s calculations of FFO for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:
