Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company 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. The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 is as follows (amounts in thousands):
The Company’s principal uses of its liquidity are expected to be for distributions to its shareholders and OP unitholders, debt service and loan repayments, and property investment which includes the funding of its joint venture commitments, acquisition, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting activities.
In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, the Company must currently distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders. On February 26, 2004, the Board of Trustees of the Company approved and declared a cash quarterly dividend for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $0.16 per Common Share and Common OP Unit. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2004 to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2004. The Company also paid a distribution of $22.50 per Series A Preferred OP Unit and $13.00 per Series B Preferred OP Unit (pro-rated for issuance of Series B units during January 2004) on April 15, 2004.
In September of 2001, the Company committed $20.0 million to a newly formed joint venture formed with four of its institutional shareholders, who committed $70.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring a total of approximately $300.0 million of community and neighborhood shopping centers on a leveraged basis. Since the formation of AKR Fund I, the Company has used it as the primary vehicle for the acquisition of assets.
The Company is the manager and general partner of AKR Fund I with a 22% interest. In addition to a pro-rata return on its invested equity, the Company is entitled to a profit participation based upon certain investment return thresholds. Cash flow is to be distributed pro-rata to the partners (including the Company) until they have received a 9% cumulative return on, and a return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 80% to the partners (including the Company) and 20% to the Company. The Company also earns a fee for asset management services equal to 1.5% of the total equity commitments, as well as market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services.

On March 11, 2004, AKR Fund I, in conjunction with the Company’s long-time investment partner, Hendon Properties (“Hendon”), purchased a $9.6 million first mortgage loan from New York Life Insurance Company for $5.5 million. The loan, which was secured by a 235,000 square foot shopping center in Aiken, South Carolina, was in default at acquisition. AKR Fund I and Hendon acquired the loan with the intention of pursuing ownership of the property securing the debt. AKR Fund I provided 90% of the equity capital and Hendon provided the remaining 10% of the equity capital used to acquire the loan. Hendon is entitled to receive profit participation in excess of its proportionate equity interest. The property is currently anchored by a Kroger supermarket and is only 56% occupied due to the vacancy of a former Kmart store. Subsequent to the acquisition of the loan, AKR Fund I and Hendon obtained fee title to this property and currently plan to redevelop and re-anchor the center. The Company loaned $3.2 million to AKR Fund I in connection with the purchase of the first mortgage loan. The note matures March 9, 2006, and bears interest at 7%. In addition to its loan to AKR Fund I, the Company invested $945,000, primarily its pro-rata share of equity as a partner in AKR Fund I.
RCP Venture
On January 27, 2004, the Company entered into the RCP Venture with Klaff and its long time capital partner Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The initial size of the RCP Venture is expected to be approximately $300 million in equity based on anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion. The RCP Venture is currently exploring investment opportunities, but has not yet made any commitments. Each participant in the RCP Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. The Company and its current acquisition fund, AKR Fund I, as well as possible subsequent joint venture funds sponsored by the Company, anticipate investing 20% of the equity of the RCP Venture. Cash flow is to be distributed to the partners until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff (“Klaff’s Promote”) and 80% to the partners (including Klaff). Profits earned on up to $20.0 million of the Company’s contributed capital is not subject to Klaff’s Promote. The Company will also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the RCP Venture.
The Company also acquired Klaff’s rights to provide asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction services for an existing portfolio of retail properties and/or leasehold interests comprised of approximately 10 million square feet of retail space located throughout the United States (the “Klaff Properties”). The acquisition involves only Klaff’s rights associated with operating the Klaff Properties and does not include equity interests in assets owned by Klaff or Lubert-Adler. The Operating Partnership issued $4.0 million of Series B Preferred OP Units to Klaff in consideration of this acquisition.
Other Investments
On March 18, 2004, the Company provided a $3.0 million mezzanine loan to an unrelated joint venture. The loan is for a term of three years with interest of 11% for year one, 10% for year two and prime plus 6% for year three.
Property Redevelopment and Expansion
The Company’s redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the following redevelopment projects were ongoing:
Plaza 422 – During 2003, the Company completed phase I after replacing an 83,000 square foot Ames department store with a 104,000 square foot Home Depot. The Company also recaptured another 48,000 square feet of space, for which re-leasing is currently underway.
New Loudon Center – During 2003, the Company installed The Bon Ton Department Store, replacing the majority of space formerly occupied by a former Ames department store. The Company leased the balance of the former Ames space to Marshall’s, an existing tenant at the center, which opened in its expanded 37,000 square feet store during 2004. The Company also installed a new 49,000 square foot Raymour and Flanigan furniture store at this center which opened during April of 2004. This project is now complete and is currently 100% occupied.
Town Line Plaza – This project, located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, was added to the Company’s redevelopment pipeline in December of 2003. The Company is re-anchoring the center with a new Super Stop & Shop supermarket, replacing a former GU Markets supermarket. The existing building is being demolished and will be replaced with a 66,000 square foot Super Stop & Shop. The new supermarket anchor is paying gross rent at a 33% increase over that of the former tenant with no interruption in rent payments. Costs to date for this project totaled $1.7 million. All remaining redevelopment costs associated with this project, which is anticipated to be completed during the first quarter of 2005, are to be paid by Stop & Shop.
Additionally, for the year ending December 31, 2004, the Company currently estimates that capital outlays of approximately $5.0 million to $7.5 million will be required for tenant improvements, related renovations and other property improvements.

Share Repurchase
The Company has an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares. Through May 5, 2004, the Company had repurchased 1.9 million Common Shares at a total cost of $10.8 million. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that the Company will purchase the full amount authorized. There were no repurchases of securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
The Company intends on using AKR Fund I and potential subsequent joint venture funds as the primary vehicles for future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture. Sources of capital for funding the Company’s joint venture commitments, other property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting, as well as future repurchases of Common Shares are expected to be obtained primarily from cash on hand, additional debt financings, issuance of public equity or debt instruments and possible sales of existing properties. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a total of approximately $44.1 million of additional capacity with seven lenders, of which the Company is required to draw $12.7 million by December 2004, or forego the ability to draw these funds at any time during the remaining term of the loans. Of the remaining capacity, approximately $3.0 million is subject to additional leasing requirements at the collateral properties, which the Company has not yet satisfied. The Company also had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $13.4 million at March 31, 2004 as well as eleven properties that are currently unencumbered and therefore available as potential collateral for future borrowings. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures and REIT distribution requirements.
Financing and Debt
At March 31, 2004, mortgage notes payable aggregated $188.2 million and were collateralized by 20 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on the Company’s outstanding mortgage indebtedness ranged from 2.5% to 8.1% with maturities that ranged from October 2005 to June 2013. Taking into consideration $86.5 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $156.1 million of the portfolio, or 83%, was fixed at a 6.6% weighted average interest rate and $32.1 million, or 17% was floating at a 2.7% weighted average interest rate. There is no debt maturing in 2004 and $8.7 million is scheduled to mature in 2005 at a current weighted average interest rate of 2.9%. The Company currently anticipates refinancing this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.
The following summarizes the financing and refinancing transactions since December 31, 2003:
In January and February 2004, the Company entered into four forward starting swap agreements as follows:
Commencement Date | | | Maturity Date | | | Notional Value | | | Rate |
| | |
| | |
| | |
|
| | | | | | | | | |
4/1/2005 | | | 1/1/2011 | | | $37.7 million | | | 4.345% |
10/2/2006 | | | 10/1/2011 | | | $11.4 million | | | 4.895% |
10/2/2006 | | | 1/1/2010 | | | $ 4.6 million | | | 4.710% |
6/1/2007 | | | 3/1/2012 | | | $ 8.4 million | | | 5.140% |
These swap agreements have been executed in contemplation of the finalization of the extension and modification of certain mortgage loans currently being negotiated, although there can be no assurance that such extensions will be finalized.
On March 11, 2004, the Company drew down $4.5 million under an existing $20.0 million revolving facility and $4.5 million under an existing $7.4 million revolving facility.
On March 26, 2004, the Company paid down $10.4 million and modified and extended $40.0 million of an existing $50.4 million loan with a bank. The loan, secured by three of the Company’s properties, now matures April 1, 2011 and requires the monthly payment of interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points and principal amortized over 30 years.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
At March 31, 2004, maturities on the Company’s mortgage notes ranged from October 2005 to June 2013. In addition, the Company has non-cancelable ground leases at three of its shopping centers. The Company also leases space for its White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2010.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has two off balance sheet joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties as follows:
The Company owns a 49% interest in two partnerships which own the Crossroads Shopping Center (“Crossroads”). The Company accounts for its investment in Crossroads using the equity method of accounting as it has a non-controlling investment in Crossroads, but exercises significant influence. As such, the Company’s financial statements reflect its share of income from, but not the assets and liabilities of, Crossroads. The Company’s pro rata share of Crossroads mortgage debt as of March 31, 2004 was $16.1 million. Interest on the debt, which matures in October 2007, has been effectively fixed at 7.2% through variable to fixed-rate swap agreements.
Reference is made to the discussion of AKR Fund I under “Uses of Liquidity” in this Item 2 for additional detail related to the Company’s investment in and commitments to AKR Fund I. The Company owns a 22% interest in AKR Fund I for which it also uses the equity method of accounting. The Company’s pro rata share of AKR Fund I fixed-rate mortgage debt as of March 31, 2004 was $21.8 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%. The Company’s pro rata share of AKR Fund I variable-rate mortgage debt as of March 31, 2004 was $1.3 million at an interest rate of 3.1%. Maturities on these loans range from October 2007 to January 2023.
HISTORICAL CASH FLOW
The following discussion of historical cash flow compares the Company’s cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2004 (“2004”) with the Company’s cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2003 (“2003”).
Cash and cash equivalents were $13.4 million and $31.3 million at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease of $17.9 million was a result of the following increases and decreases in cash flows:
| | | Three months ended March 31, | |
| | | 2004 | | | 2003 | | | Change | |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 7.0 | | $ | 4.1 | | $ | 2.9 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | | $ | (8.8 | ) | $ | (9.0 | ) | $ | 0.2 | |
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | | $ | 0.5 | | $ | (8.9 | ) | $ | 9.4 | |
The variance in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from a net increase in cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.6 million, primarily prepaid expenses and accounts payable.
The variance in net cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of a $2.5 million payment of an earn-out in 2003 related to a redevelopment project, an additional $5.3 million investment in AKR Fund I in 2003 and $1.6 million in net proceeds from property sales in 2003. These increases were offset by $6.5 million of mezzanine loans made by the Company in 2004.
The increase in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities resulted primarily from $7.9 million of cash provided by the exercise of stock options in 2004 and $2.2 million of additional cash used in 2003 for net repayments of outstanding mortgage debt. These increases were offset by $900,000 of additional cash paid for dividends and distributions on Common OP Units in 2004.

INFLATION
The Company’s long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on the Company’s net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indexes. In addition, many of the Company’s leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits the Company to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if rents are below the then existing market rates. Most of the Company’s leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including CAM, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to the Company’s mortgage debt. See the discussion under Item 2. for certain quantitative details related to the Company’s mortgage debt.
Currently, the Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt, interest rate swap agreements and LIBOR caps. The Company is a party to current and forward-starting interest rate swap transactions to hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in LIBOR with respect to $86.5 and $62.2 million of notional principal, respectively. The Company also has two interest rate swaps hedging the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $16.1 million of LIBOR based variable-rate debt related to its investment in Crossroads.
The following table sets forth information as of March 31, 2004 concerning the Company’s long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts (amounts in millions):

Of the Company’s total outstanding debt, $8.7 million will become due at maturity in 2005. As the Company intends on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates which may be greater than the current interest rate, the Company’s interest expense would increase by approximately $87,000 annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Furthermore, interest expense on the Company’s variable debt as of March 31, 2004 would increase by $321,000 annually for a 100 basis point increase in interest rates. The Company may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, the Company would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
