DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
Portions of the Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Registrant to be held on May 21, 2009 (Part III).
Part I
When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this document, the words “intends,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and in Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the effect of competition from new self-storage facilities, which would cause rents and occupancy rates to decline; the Company’s ability to evaluate, finance and integrate acquired businesses into the Company’s existing business and operations; the Company’s ability to effectively compete in the industry in which it does business; the Company’s existing indebtedness may mature in an unfavorable credit environment, preventing refinancing or forcing refinancing of the indebtedness on terms that are not as favorable as the existing terms; interest rates may fluctuate, impacting costs associated with the Company’s outstanding floating rate debt; the Company’s reliance on its call center; the Company’s cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal, interest and dividends; and tax law changes that may change the taxability of future income.
Item 1. Business
Sovran Self Storage, Inc. together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries and the consolidated joint ventures, to the extent appropriate in the applicable context, (the “Company,” “We,” “Our,” or “Sovran”) is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that acquires, owns and manages self-storage properties. We refer to the self-storage properties in which we have an ownership interest and are managed by us as “Properties.” We began operations on June 26, 1995. We were formed to continue the business of our predecessor company, which had engaged in the self-storage business since 1985. At February 15, 2009, we held ownership interests in and managed 385 Properties consisting of approximately 25.0 million net rentable square feet, situated in 24 states. Among our 385 self-storage facilities are 27 properties that we manage for a consolidated joint venture of which we are a majority owner and 25 properties that we manage for a joint venture of which we are a 20% owner. We believe we are the fifth largest operator of self-storage properties in the United States based on facilities owned and managed. Our Properties conduct business under the user-friendly name Uncle Bob’s Self-Storage ®.
We own an indirect interest in each of the Properties through a limited partnership (the “Partnership”). In total, we own a 98.1% economic interest in the Partnership and unaffiliated third parties own collectively a 1.9% limited partnership interest at December 31, 2008. We believe that this structure, commonly known as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”), facilitates our ability to acquire properties by using units of the Partnership as currency. By utilizing interests in the Partnership as currency in facility acquisitions, we may partially defer the seller’s income tax liability which in turn may allow us to obtain more favorable pricing.
We were incorporated on April 19, 1995 under Maryland law. Our principal executive offices are located at 6467 Main Street, Williamsville, New York 14221, our telephone number is (716) 633-1850 and our web site iswww.sovranss.com.
We seek to enhance shareholder value through internal growth and acquisition of additional storage properties. Internal growth is achieved through aggressive property management: increasing rents, increasing occupancy levels, controlling costs, maximizing collections and strategically expanding and improving the Properties. Should economic conditions warrant, we may develop new properties. We believe that there continue to be opportunities for growth through acquisitions, and constantly seek to acquire self-storage properties that are susceptible to realization of increased economies of scale and enhanced performance through application of our expertise.
Industry Overview
We believe that self-storage facilities offer inexpensive storage space to residential and commercial users. In addition to fully enclosed and secure storage space, many facilities also offer outside storage for automobiles, recreational vehicles and boats. Better facilities are usually fenced and well lighted with gates that are either manually operated or automated and have a full-time manager. Our customers rent space on a month-to-month basis
3
and have access to their storage area during business hours and in certain circumstances are provided with 24-hour access. Individual storage units are secured by the customer’s lock, and the customer has sole control of access to the unit.
According to the 2009 Self-Storage Almanac, of the approximately 47,500 facilities in the United States, less than 11% are managed by the ten largest operators. The remainder of the industry is characterized by numerous small, local operators. The shortage of skilled operators, the scarcity of capital available to small operators for acquisitions and expansions, and the potential for savings through economies of scale are factors that are leading to consolidation in the industry. We believe that, as a result of this trend, significant growth opportunities exist for operators with proven management systems and sufficient capital resources.
Property Management
We believe that we have developed substantial expertise in managing self-storage facilities. Key elements of our management system include the following:
Personnel:
Property managers attend a thorough orientation program and undergo continuous training that emphasizes closing techniques, identification of selected marketing opportunities, networking with possible referral sources, and familiarization with our customized management information system. In addition to frequent contact with Area Managers and other Company personnel, property managers receive periodic newsletters via our intranet regarding a variety of operational issues, and from time to time attend “roundtable” seminars with other property managers.
Marketing and Sales:
Responding to the increased customer demand for services, we have implemented several programs expected to increase profitability. These programs include:
| | - | | A Customer Care Center (call center) that services new and existing customers’ inquiries and facilitates the capture of sales leads that were previously lost; |
| |
| | - | | Internet marketing, which provides customers information about all of our stores via numerous portals and e-mail; |
| |
| | - | | A rate management system, that matches product availability with market demand for each type of storage unit at each store, and determines appropriate pricing. The Company credits this program in achieving higher yields and controlling discounting; |
| |
| | - | | Dri-guard, that provides humidity-controlled spaces. We became the first self-storage operator to utilize this humidity protection technology. These environmental control systems are a premium storage feature intended to protect metal, electronics, furniture, fabrics and paper from moisture; and |
| |
| | - | | Uncle Bob’s trucks, that provide customers with convenient, affordable access to vehicles to help move-in their goods, and which also serve as moving billboards to help advertise our storage facilities. |
Ancillary Income:
Our stores are essentially retail operations and we have in excess of 160,000 customers. As a convenience to those customers, we sell items such as locks, boxes, tarps, etc. to make their storage experience easier. We also make available renters insurance through a third party carrier, on which we earn a commission. Income from incidental truck rentals, billboards and cell towers is also earned by our Company.
Information Systems:
Our customized computer system performs billing, collections and reservation functions for each Property. It also tracks information used in developing marketing plans based on occupancy levels and tenant demographics and histories. The system generates daily, weekly and monthly financial reports for each Property that are transmitted to our principal office each night. The system also requires a property manager to input a descriptive explanation for all debit and credit transactions, paid-to-date changes, and all other discretionary activities, which allows the accounting staff at our principal office to promptly review all such transactions. Late charges are automatically imposed. More sensitive activities, such as rental rate changes and unit size or number changes, are completed only by Area Managers. Our customized management information system permits us to add new
4
facilities to our portfolio with minimal additional overhead expense.
Property Maintenance:
All of our Properties are subject to regular and routine maintenance procedures, which are designed to maintain the structure and appearance of our buildings and grounds. A staff headquartered in our principal office is responsible for the upkeep of the Properties, and all maintenance service is contracted through local providers, such as lawn service, snowplowing, pest control, gate maintenance, HVAC repairs, paving, painting, roofing, etc. A codified set of specifications has been designed and is applied to all work performed on our Uncle Bob’s stores. As with many other aspects of our Company, our size has allowed us to enjoy relatively low maintenance costs because we have the benefit of economies of scale in purchasing, travel and overhead absorption.
Environmental and Other Regulations
We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental regulations that apply generally to the ownership of real property. We have not received notice from any governmental authority or private party of any material environmental noncompliance, claim, or liability in connection with any of the Properties, and are not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of the Properties that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
The Properties are also generally subject to the same types of local regulations governing other real property, including zoning ordinances. We believe that the Properties are in substantial compliance with all such regulations.
Insurance
Each of the Properties is covered by fire and property insurance (including comprehensive liability), and all-risk property insurance policies, which are provided by reputable companies and on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, we maintain a policy insuring against environmental liabilities resulting from tenant storage on terms customary for the industry, and title insurance insuring fee title to the Company-owned Properties in an amount that we believe to be adequate.
Federal Income Tax
We operate, and intend to continue to operate, in such a manner as to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), but no assurance can be given that we will at all times so qualify. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to our shareholders. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — REIT Qualification and Distribution Requirements.”
Competition
The primary factors upon which competition in the self-storage industry is based are location, rental rates, suitability of the property’s design to prospective customers’ needs, and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. We believe we compete successfully on these bases. The extent of competition depends significantly on local market conditions. We seek to locate facilities so as not to cause our Properties to compete with one another for customers, but the number of self-storage facilities in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on the performance of any of the Properties.
Several of our competitors, including Public Storage, U-Haul, and Extra Space Storage, are larger and have substantially greater financial resources than we do. These larger operators may, among other possible advantages, be capable of greater leverage and the payment of higher prices for acquisitions.
5
Investment Policy
While we emphasize equity real estate investments, we may, at our discretion, invest in mortgage and other real estate interests related to self-storage properties in a manner consistent with our qualification as a REIT. We may also retain a purchase money mortgage for a portion of the sale price in connection with the disposition of Properties from time to time. Should investment opportunities become available, we may look to acquire self-storage properties via a joint-venture partnership or similar entity. We may or may not elect to have a significant investment in such a venture, but would use such an opportunity to expand our portfolio of branded and managed properties.
Subject to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross income tests necessary for REIT qualification, we also may invest in securities of entities engaged in real estate activities or securities of other issuers, including for the purpose of exercising control over such entities.
Disposition Policy
We periodically review our Properties. Any disposition decision will be based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the (i) potential to continue to increase cash flow and value, (ii) sale price, (iii) strategic fit with the rest of our portfolio, (iv) potential for, or existence of, environmental or regulatory issues, (v) alternative uses of capital, and (vi) maintaining qualification as a REIT.
During 2008 we sold one non-strategic storage facility located in Michigan for net cash proceeds of $7.0 million resulting in a gain of $0.7 million. No storage facilities were sold in 2007 or 2006.
Distribution Policy
We intend to pay regular quarterly distributions to our shareholders. However, future distributions by us will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the actual cash available for distribution, our financial condition and capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not include capital gains). Under certain circumstances, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet this requirement.
Borrowing Policy
Our Board of Directors currently limits the amount of debt that may be incurred by us to less than 50% of the sum of the market value of our issued and outstanding Common and Preferred Stock plus our debt. We, however, may from time to time re-evaluate and modify our borrowing policy in light of then current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of properties, growth and acquisition opportunities and other factors.
On June 25, 2008, we entered into agreements relating to new unsecured credit arrangements, and received funds under those arrangements. As part of the agreements, we entered into a $250 million unsecured term note maturing in June 2012 bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.625%. The proceeds from this term note were used to repay the Company’s previous line of credit that was to mature in September 2008, the Company’s term note that was to mature in September 2009, the term note maturing in July 2008, and to provide for working capital. The new agreements also provide for a $125 million (expandable to $150 million) revolving line of credit maturing June 2011 bearing interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.375%, and requires a 0.25% facility fee. At December 31, 2008, there was $111 million available on the unsecured line of credit.
We also maintain an $80 million term note maturing September 2013 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.26%, a $20 million term note maturing September 2013 bearing interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.50%, and a $150 million unsecured term note maturing in April 2016 bearing interest at 6.38%.

To the extent that we desire to obtain additional capital to pay distributions, to provide working capital, to pay existing indebtedness or to finance acquisitions, expansions or development of new properties, we may utilize amounts available under the expanded line of credit, common or preferred stock offerings, floating or fixed rate debt financing, retention of cash flow (subject to satisfying our distribution requirements under the REIT rules) or a combination of these methods. Additional debt financing may also be obtained through mortgages on our Properties, which may be recourse, non-recourse, or cross-collateralized and may contain cross-default provisions. We have not established any limit on the number or amount of mortgages that may be placed on any single Property or on our portfolio as a whole, although certain of our existing term loans contain limits on overall mortgage indebtedness. For additional information regarding borrowings, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed herewith.
Employees
We currently employ a total of 1,069 employees, including 385 property managers, 23 area managers, and 531 assistant managers and part-time employees. At our headquarters, in addition to our three senior executive officers, we employ 127 people engaged in various support activities, including accounting, customer care, and management information systems. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our employee relations to be excellent.
Available Information

Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in or incorporated by reference into our Form 10-K, as part of your evaluation of the Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our Acquisitions May Not Perform as Anticipated
We have completed many acquisitions of self-storage facilities since our initial public offering of common stock in June 1995. Our strategy is to continue to grow by acquiring additional self-storage facilities. Acquisitions entail risks that investments will fail to perform in accordance with our expectations and that our judgments with respect to the prices paid for acquired self-storage facilities and the costs of any improvements required to bring an acquired property up to standards established for the market position intended for that property will prove inaccurate. Acquisitions also involve general investment risks associated with any new real estate investment.

We May Incur Problems with Our Real Estate Financing
Unsecured Credit Facility.We have a line of credit with a syndicate of financial institutions. This unsecured credit facility is recourse to us and the required payments are not reduced if the economic performance of any of the properties declines. The unsecured credit facility limits our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, except in limited circumstances. If there is an event of default, our lenders may seek to exercise their rights under the unsecured credit facility, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make expected distributions to shareholders and distributions required by the real estate investment trust provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Rising Interest Rates.Indebtedness that we incur under the unsecured credit facility and bank term note bears interest at a variable rate. Accordingly, increases in interest rates could increase our interest expense, which would reduce our cash available for distribution and our ability to pay expected distributions to our shareholders. We manage our exposure to rising interest rates using interest rate swaps and other available mechanisms. If the amount of our indebtedness bearing interest at a variable rate increases, our unsecured credit facility may require us to use those arrangements.
Refinancing May Not Be Available.It may be necessary for us to refinance our unsecured credit facility through additional debt financing or equity offerings. If we were unable to refinance this indebtedness on acceptable terms, we might be forced to dispose of some of our self-storage facilities upon disadvantageous terms, which might result in losses to us and might adversely affect the cash available for distribution. If prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing result in higher interest rates on refinancings, our interest expense would increase, which would adversely affect our cash available for distribution and our ability to pay expected distributions to shareholders.
Recent turmoil in the credit markets could affect our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms and have other adverse effects on us.The United States credit markets have recently experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions which have caused the spreads on available debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive. A prolonged downturn in the credit markets could cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing, and may require us to adjust our business plan accordingly. Continued uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact our ability to make acquisitions.
Our Debt Levels May Increase
Our Board of Directors currently has a policy of limiting the amount of our debt at the time of incurrence to less than 50% of the sum of the market value of our issued and outstanding common stock and preferred stock plus the amount of our debt at the time that debt is incurred. However, our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount of indebtedness we might incur. Accordingly, our Board of Directors could alter or eliminate the current policy limitation on borrowing without a vote of our shareholders. We could become highly leveraged if this policy were changed. However, our ability to incur debt is limited by covenants in our bank credit arrangements.
We Are Subject to the Risks Posed by Fluctuating Demand and Significant Competition in the Self-Storage Industry
Our self-storage facilities are subject to all operating risks common to the self-storage industry. These risks include but are not limited to the following:
| | • | | Decreases in demand for rental spaces in a particular locale; |
| |
| | • | | Changes in supply of similar or competing self-storage facilities in an area; |
| |
| | • | | Changes in market rental rates; and |
| |
| | • | | Inability to collect rents from customers. |
8
Our current strategy is to acquire interests only in self-storage facilities. Consequently, we are subject to risks inherent in investments in a single industry. Our self-storage facilities compete with other self-storage facilities in their geographic markets. As a result of competition, the self-storage facilities could experience a decrease in occupancy levels and rental rates, which would decrease our cash available for distribution. We compete in operations and for acquisition opportunities with companies that have substantial financial resources. Competition may reduce the number of suitable acquisition opportunities offered to us and increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell. The self-storage industry has at times experienced overbuilding in response to perceived increases in demand. A recurrence of overbuilding might cause us to experience a decrease in occupancy levels, limit our ability to increase rents and compel us to offer discounted rents.
Our Real Estate Investments Are Illiquid and Are Subject to Uninsurable Risks and Government Regulation
General Risks.Our investments are subject to varying degrees of risk generally related to the ownership of real property. The underlying value of our real estate investments and our income and ability to make distributions to our shareholders are dependent upon our ability to operate the self-storage facilities in a manner sufficient to maintain or increase cash available for distribution. Income from our self-storage facilities may be adversely affected by the following factors:
| | • | | Changes in national economic conditions; |
| |
| | • | | Changes in general or local economic conditions and neighborhood characteristics; |
| |
| | • | | Competition from other self-storage facilities; |
| |
| | • | | Changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of financing; |
| |
| | • | | The impact of present or future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws; |
| |
| | • | | The ongoing need for capital improvements, particularly in older facilities; |
| |
| | • | | Changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses; |
| |
| | • | | Adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies; |
| |
| | • | | Uninsured losses resulting from casualties associated with civil unrest, acts of God, including natural disasters, and acts of war; |
| |
| | • | | Adverse changes in zoning laws; and |
| |
| | • | | Other factors that are beyond our control. |
Illiquidity of Real Estate May Limit its Value.Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to vary our portfolio of self-storage facilities in response to changes in economic and other conditions is limited. In addition, provisions of the Code may limit our ability to profit on the sale of self-storage facilities held for fewer than four years. We may be unable to dispose of a facility when we find disposition advantageous or necessary and the sale price of any disposition may not equal or exceed the amount of our investment.
Uninsured and Underinsured Losses Could Reduce the Value of our Self Storage Facilities.Some losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, that we potentially face with respect to our self-storage facilities may be uninsurable or not insurable at an acceptable cost. Our management uses its discretion in determining amounts, coverage limits and deductibility provisions of insurance, with a view to acquiring appropriate insurance on our investments at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. These decisions may result in insurance coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of our lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other
9
factors also might make it infeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under those circumstances, the insurance proceeds received by us might not be adequate to restore our economic position with respect to a particular property.
Possible Liability Relating to Environmental Matters.Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in that property. Those laws often impose liability even if the owner or operator did not cause or know of the presence of hazardous or toxic substances and even if the storage of those substances was in violation of a tenant’s lease. In addition, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure of the owner to address their presence on the property, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to borrow using that real property as collateral. In connection with the ownership of the self-storage facilities, we may be potentially liable for any of those costs.
Americans with Disabilities Act.The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, generally requires that buildings be made accessible to persons with disabilities. A determination that we are not in compliance with the ADA could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. If we were required to make modifications to comply with the ADA, our results of operations and ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders could be adversely affected.
There Are Limitations on the Ability to Change Control of Sovran
Limitation on Ownership and Transfer of Shares.To maintain our qualification as a REIT, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Code. To limit the possibility that we will fail to qualify as a REIT under this test, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation include ownership limits and transfer restrictions on shares of our stock. Our Articles of Incorporation limit ownership of our issued and outstanding stock by any single shareholder to 9.8% of the aggregate value of our outstanding stock, except that the ownership by some of our shareholders is limited to 15%.
These ownership limits may:
| | • | | Have the effect of precluding an acquisition of control of Sovran by a third party without consent of our Board of Directors even if the change in control would be in the interest of shareholders; and |
| |
| | • | | Limit the opportunity for shareholders to receive a premium for shares of our common stock they hold that might otherwise exist if an investor were attempting to assemble a block of common stock in excess of 9.8% or 15%, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of our stock or to otherwise effect a change in control of Sovran. |
Our Board of Directors may waive the ownership limits if it is satisfied that ownership by those shareholders in excess of those limits will not jeopardize our status as a REIT under the Code or in the event it determines that it is no longer in our best interests to be a REIT. Waivers have been granted to the former holders of our Series C preferred stock, FMR Corporation and Cohen & Steers, Inc. A transfer of our common stock and/or preferred stock to a person who, as a result of the transfer, violates the ownership limits may not be effective under some circumstances.
Other Limitations.Other limitations could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of our outstanding common stock might receive a premium for their shares of our common stock that exceeds the then prevailing market price or that those holders might believe to be otherwise in their best interest. The issuance of additional shares of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Sovran even if a change in control were in the shareholders’ interest. In addition, the Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, imposes restrictions and requires that specified procedures with respect to the acquisition of stated levels of share ownership and business combinations, including combinations with interested shareholders. These provisions of the MGCL could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Sovran even if a change in control were in the shareholders’ interest. Waivers and exemptions have been granted to the initial purchasers of our former Series C preferred stock in connection with
10
these provisions of the MGCL. In addition, under the Partnership’s agreement of limited partnership, in general, we may not merge, consolidate or engage in any combination with another person or sell all or substantially all of our assets unless that transaction includes the merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, which requires the approval of the holders of 75% of the limited partnership interests thereof. If we were to own less than 75% of the limited partnership interests in the Partnership, this provision of the limited partnership agreement could have the effect of delaying or preventing us from engaging in some change of control transactions.
Our Failure to Qualify as a REIT Would Have Adverse Consequences
We intend to operate in a manner that will permit us to qualify as a REIT under the Code. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. Continued qualification as a REIT depends upon our continuing ability to meet various requirements concerning, among other things, the ownership of our outstanding stock, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income and the amount of our distributions to our shareholders.
In addition, a REIT is limited with respect to the services it can provide for its tenants. We have provided certain conveniences for our tenants, including property insurance underwritten by a third party insurance company that pays us commissions. We believe the insurance provided by the insurance company would not constitute a prohibited service to our tenants. No assurances can be given, however, that the IRS will not challenge our position. If the IRS successfully challenged our position, our qualification as a REIT could be adversely affected.
If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Unless entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be ineligible for qualification as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which our qualification was lost. As a result, distributions to the shareholders would be reduced for each of the years involved. Although we currently intend to operate in a manner designed to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our Board of Directors to revoke our REIT election.
Market Interest Rates May Influence the Price of Our Common Stock
One of the factors that may influence the price of our common stock in public trading markets or in private transactions is the annual yield on our common stock as compared to yields on other financial instruments. An increase in market interest rates will result in higher yields on other financial instruments, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Regional Concentration of Our Business May Subject Us to Economic Downturns in the States of Texas and Florida.
As of December 31, 2008, 147 of our 385 self-storage facilities are located in the states of Texas and Florida. For the year ended December 31, 2008, these facilities accounted for approximately 40.9% of store revenues. This concentration of business in Texas and Florida exposes us to potential losses resulting from a downturn in the economies of those states. If economic conditions in those states continue to deteriorate, we will experience a reduction in existing and new business, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in Taxation of Corporate Dividends May Adversely Affect the Value of Our Common Stock
The maximum marginal rate of tax payable by domestic noncorporate taxpayers on dividends received from a regular “C” corporation under current law is 15% through 2010, as opposed to higher ordinary income rates. The reduced tax rate, however, does not apply to distributions paid to domestic noncorporate taxpayers by a REIT on its stock, except for certain limited amounts. Although the earnings of a REIT that are distributed to its stockholders generally remain subject to less federal income taxation than earnings of a non-REIT “C” corporation that are distributed to its stockholders net of corporate-level income tax, legislation that extends the application of the 15% rate to dividends paid after 2010 by “C” corporations could cause domestic noncorporate investors to view
11
the stock of regular “C” corporations as more attractive relative to the stock of a REIT, because the dividends from regular “C” corporations would continue to be taxed at a lower rate while distributions from REITs (other than distributions designated as capital gain dividends) are generally taxed at the same rate as the individual’s other ordinary income.

Item 2. Properties
At December 31, 2008, we held ownership interests in and managed a total of 385 Properties situated in twenty-four states. Among the 385 self-storage facilities are 27 properties that we manage for a consolidated joint venture of which we are a majority owner and 25 properties that we manage for a joint venture of which we are a 20% owner.
Our self-storage facilities offer inexpensive, easily accessible, enclosed storage space to residential and commercial users on a month-to-month basis. Most of our Properties are fenced with computerized gates and are well lighted. A majority of the Properties are single-story, thereby providing customers with the convenience of direct vehicle access to their storage spaces. Our stores range in size from 21,000 to 187,000 net rentable square feet, with an average of approximately 65,000 net rentable square feet. The Properties generally are constructed of masonry or steel walls resting on concrete slabs and have standing seam metal, shingle, or tar and gravel roofs. All Properties have a property manager on-site during business hours. Customers have access to their storage areas during business hours, and some commercial customers are provided 24-hour access. Individual storage spaces are secured by a lock furnished by the customer to provide the customer with control of access to the space.
All of the Properties conduct business under the user-friendly name Uncle Bob’s Self-Storage ®.
The following table provides certain information regarding the Properties in which we have an ownership interest and manage as of December 31, 2008:

| Item 7. | | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this document, the words “intends,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and in Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the effect of competition from new self-storage facilities, which would cause rents and occupancy rates to decline; our ability to evaluate, finance and integrate acquired businesses into our existing business and operations; our ability to effectively compete in the industry in which we do business; our existing indebtedness may mature in an unfavorable credit environment, preventing refinancing or forcing refinancing of the indebtedness on terms that are not as favorable as the existing terms; interest rates may fluctuate, impacting costs associated with our outstanding floating rate debt; our reliance on our call center; our cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal, interest and dividends; and tax law changes that may change the taxability of future income.
Business and Overview
We believe we are the fifth largest operator of self-storage properties in the United States based on facilities owned and managed. All of our stores are operated under the user-friendly name “Uncle Bob’s Self-Storage” ®.
Operating Strategy
Our operating strategy is designed to generate growth and enhance value by:
| | A. | | Increasing operating performance and cash flow through aggressive management of our stores: |
| | - | | Revenues continue to improve as a result of drivers implemented by us, including: |
| | - | | Our Customer Care Center, which answers sales inquiries and makes reservations for all of our properties on a centralized basis, |
| |
| | - | | The Uncle Bob’s truck move-in program, under which, at present, 259 of our stores offer a free Uncle Bob’s truck to assist our customers in moving into their spaces, and |
| |
| | - | | An increase in internet marketing and sales. |
| | - | | In addition to increasing revenue, we have worked to improve services and amenities at our stores. While this has caused operating expenses to increase over the past five years, it has resulted in a superior storage experience for our customers. Our managers are better qualified and receive a significantly higher level of training than they did five years ago, customer access and security are greatly enhanced as a result of advances in technology, and property appearance and functionality have been improved. |
| |
| | - | | Our customized property management systems enable us to improve our ability to track trends, set optimal pricing levels, enjoy considerable economies of scale in vendor and supply pricing, and control collections and accounts receivable. |
18
| | B. | | Acquiring additional stores: |
| | - | | In conjunction with the joint venture agreement entered in late May 2008, potential acquisition opportunities over the first nine months of the agreement will be offered to the joint venture. The Company’s acquisitions over this period will therefore be limited to facilities that do not fit the joint venture’s investment objectives, but do meet ours. |
| |
| | - | | Our objective is to acquire new stores one or two at a time in markets we currently operate in. By so doing, we can add to our existing base, which should improve market penetration in those areas, and contribute to the benefits achieved from economies of scale. |
| |
| | - | | We may also enter new markets if we can do so by acquiring a group of stores in those markets. We feel that our marketing efforts and control systems would enhance even those portfolios that have been managed efficiently by independent operators, and that attractive returns can be generated by such acquisitions. |
| | C. | | Expanding our management business: |
| | - | | We see our management business as a source of future acquisitions. We may develop additional joint ventures in which we are minority owners and managers of the self-storage facilities acquired by these joint ventures. The joint venture agreements will give us first right of refusal to purchase the managed properties in the event they are offered for sale. |
| | D. | | Expanding and enhancing our existing stores: |
| | - | | Over the past four years, we have undertaken an announced program of expanding and enhancing our properties. Primarily, we have worked to add premium storage (i.e., air-conditioned and/or humidity controlled) space to our portfolio. In 2007, we expended approximately $25 million to add some 444,000 square feet of such space to our properties; in 2008, we spent approximately $26 million to add 403,000 square feet and to convert 95,000 square feet to premium storage. The program entailed construction of new buildings, acquisition of parcels of land contiguous to stores deemed suitable for expansion, and demolition of certain structures to make room for more optimally configured spaces. In 2009, we expect to curtail our expansion program with new expenditures of approximately $15 million on projects that began in 2008. |
Supply and Demand
We believe the supply and demand model in the self-storage industry is micro market specific in that a majority of our business comes from within a five mile radius of our stores. The current turmoil in the credit markets has resulted in a decrease in new supply on a national basis. With the decrease of debt and equity capital brought about by the credit market tightening in the past year, we have seen capitalization rates on acquisitions (expected annual return on investment) increase to approximately 7.5% and expect continued increases in 2009. From 2003 to 2007 the historically low interest rates available to developers resulted in increased supply on a national basis. We experienced some of this excess supply in certain markets in Texas and Florida from 2003 to 2007, but because of the demand model, we did not see a widespread effect on our stores in those years. In 2008, the Florida market was negatively effected by the current economic downturn and we expect many markets will be effected in 2009 as consumers continue to pull back spending.
Operating Trends
In 2008 and 2007, our industry experienced some softness in demand. This was due to the economic slowdown that began in late 2007, and in part to regional issues, such as the reduction of hurricane driven demand in Florida and the Gulf Coast states, and to an overall slowdown in the housing sector. We believe the housing slowdown has impacted our industry in two ways: 1.) a reduction in lease-up activity resulting from fewer residential real estate transactions (both buyers and sellers of residences use our product in times of transition) and 2.) a contraction of housing construction activity which has reduced the number of people working in the
19
construction trades (trades people are a measurable part of our usual tenant base.)
While we enjoyed same store revenue growth of approximately 3% to 5% in each of the prior five years, we were only able to achieve 0.5% same store revenue growth in 2008, primarily because of the aforementioned issues. We expect conditions in most of our markets to remain challenging and are forecasting -1% to -2% revenue growth on a same store basis in 2009.
Expenses related to operating a self-storage facility have increased substantially over the last five years as a result of expanded hours, increased health care costs, property insurance costs, and the costs of amenities (such as Uncle Bob’s trucks). While we do not foresee further expansion of our cost base, we do expect the trend of increasing expenses to continue at a pace commensurate with CPI growth. Because almost all of our costs are fixed, should revenue growth fall significantly, operating margins will be reduced.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to carrying values of storage facilities, bad debts, and contingencies and litigation. We base these estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Carrying value of storage facilities: We believe our judgment regarding the impairment of the carrying value of our storage facilities is a critical accounting policy. Our policy is to assess any impairment of value whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a storage facility may not be recoverable. Such events or circumstances would include negative operating cash flow or significant declining revenue per storage facility. Impairment is evaluated based upon comparing the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the storage facility, on a property by property basis. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. If cash flow projections are inaccurate and in the future it is determined that storage facility carrying values are not recoverable, impairment charges may be required at that time and could materially affect our operating results and financial position. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, no assets had been determined to be impaired under this policy.
Estimated useful lives of long-lived assets: We believe that the estimated lives used for our depreciable, long-lived assets is a critical accounting policy. Changes in estimated useful lives of these assets could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Qualification as a REIT: We operate, and intend to continue to operate, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), but no assurance can be given that we will at all times so qualify. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, any requirement to pay federal income taxes could have a material adverse impact on our financial conditions and results of operations.

We recorded rental revenues of $195.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $8.6 million or 4.6% when compared to 2007 rental revenues of $186.6 million. Of the increase in rental revenue, $1.2 million resulted from a 0.7% increase in rental revenues at the 326 core properties considered in same store sales (those properties included in the consolidated results of operations since January 1, 2007). The increase in same store rental revenues was achieved primarily through rate increases on select units averaging 1.9%, offset by a decrease in square foot occupancy of 150 basis points, which we believe resulted from general economic conditions,
20
in particular the housing sector. The remaining $7.4 million increase in rental revenues resulted from the acquisition of three stores during 2008 and from having the 31 stores acquired in 2007 included for a full year of operations. Other income, which includes merchandise sales, insurance commissions, truck rentals, management fees and acquisition fees, increased in 2008 primarily as a result of $1.1 million of management and acquisition fees generated from our unconsolidated joint venture, Sovran HHF Storage Holdings LLC.
Property operating and real estate tax expense increased $5.1 million, or 7.3%, in 2008 compared to 2007. Of this increase, $2.7 million were expenses incurred by the facilities acquired in 2008 and from having expenses from the 2007 acquisitions included for a full year of operations. $2.4 million of the increase was due to increased payroll, property taxes, utilities, and maintenance expenses at the 326 core properties considered same stores. We expect same-store operating costs to increase only moderately in 2009 with increases primarily attributable to utilities and property taxes.
General and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million or 13.4% from 2007 to 2008. The increase primarily resulted from the costs associated with operating the properties acquired in 2008 and 2007, and from managing the 25 properties acquired by our joint venture in 2008.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $34.4 million in 2008 from $33.9 million in 2007, primarily as a result of additional depreciation taken on real estate assets acquired in 2008, and a full year of depreciation on 2007 acquisitions, offset by a decrease in amortization of in-place customers leases relating to these acquisitions.
Interest expense increased from $33.9 million in 2007 to $38.1 million in 2008 as a result of additional borrowings under our line of credit and term notes to purchase three stores in 2008, as well as an increase in interest rates as a result of our debt refinancing in June 2008.
As described in Note 5 to the financial statements, in 2008, the Company sold one non-strategic storage facility located in Michigan for net cash proceeds of $7.0 million resulting in a gain of $0.7 million. The 2007 operations of this facility are reported as discontinued operations.
The decrease in preferred stock dividends from 2007 to 2008 was a result of the conversion of all remaining 1,200,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock into 920,244 shares of common stock in July 2007.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 COMPARED TO
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
We recorded rental revenues of $186.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $26.6 million or 16.6% when compared to 2006 rental revenues of $160.0 million. Of the increase in rental revenue, $4.8 million resulted from a 3.2% increase in rental revenues at the 284 core properties considered in same store sales (those properties included in the consolidated results of operations since January 1, 2006). The increase in same store rental revenues was achieved primarily through rate increases on select units averaging 4.4%, offset by a decrease in square foot occupancy of 175 basis points, which we believe resulted from general economic conditions, in particular the housing sector, and the return to normalcy in Florida after the hurricanes. As of April 1, 2006, the consolidated income statement includes the results of a previously unconsolidated joint venture (Locke Sovran I, LLC) that has been consolidated as a result of an additional investment in that entity by us. The rental income related to Locke Sovran I that was included in our results for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1.7 million higher than that included in 2006 as a result of the consolidation in April 2006. The remaining $20.1 million increase in rental revenues resulted from the acquisition of 31 stores during 2007 and from having the 42 stores acquired in 2006 included for a full year of operations. Other income increased $0.9 million due to increased merchandise and insurance sales and the additional incidental revenue generated by truck rentals.
Property operating and real estate tax expense increased $10.7 million, or 18.1%, in 2007 compared to 2006. Of this increase, $8.2 million were expenses incurred by the facilities acquired in 2007 and from having expenses from the 2006 acquisitions included for a full year of operations. $1.9 million of the increase was due to increased property insurance, utilities, maintenance expenses, and increased property taxes at the 284 core properties
21
considered same stores. The property operating and real estate tax expense related to Locke Sovran I that was included in our results for the year ended December 31, 2007, was $0.6 million higher than that included in 2006 as a result of the consolidation in April 2006.
General and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million or 8.1% from 2006 to 2007. The increase primarily resulted from the costs associated with operating the properties acquired in 2007 and 2006.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $33.9 million in 2007 from $25.2 million in 2006, primarily as a result of additional depreciation taken on real estate assets acquired in 2007, a full year of depreciation on 2006 acquisitions, and the amortization of in-place customers leases relating to these acquisitions.
Interest expense increased from $29.5 million in 2006 to $33.9 million in 2007 as a result of higher interest rates, additional borrowings under our line of credit and term notes to purchase 31 stores in 2007, and the consolidation of Locke Sovran I, LLC as of April 1, 2006.
The casualty gain recorded in 2007 relates to insurance proceeds received in excess of the carrying value of a building damaged by a fire at one of our facilities.
The decrease in preferred stock dividends from 2006 to 2007 was a result of the conversion of all remaining 1,200,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock into 920,244 shares of common stock in July 2007.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
We believe that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) provides relevant and meaningful information about our operating performance that is necessary, along with net earnings and cash flows, for an understanding of our operating results. FFO adds back historical cost depreciation, which assumes the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably in the future. In fact, real estate asset values increase or decrease with market conditions. Consequently, we believe FFO is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance by disregarding (or adding back) historical cost depreciation.
FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) as net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses on sales of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our ability to retain cash flow is limited because we operate as a REIT. In order to maintain our REIT status, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow must be used to pay dividends to our shareholders. We believe that our internally generated net cash provided by operating activities and our availability on our line of credit will continue to be sufficient to fund ongoing operations, capital improvements, dividends and debt service requirements through June 2011, at which time our revolving line of credit matures.
Cash flows from operating activities were $77.1 million, $85.2 million and $64.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The decrease in operating cash flows from 2007 to 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in net income and accounts payable remaining consistent from year to year. The increase in operating cash from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to increased net income, increased non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, an increase in accounts payable related to property taxes, and a decrease in prepaid insurance.
Cash used in investing activities was $82.7 million, $190.3 million, and $176.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 respectively. The decrease in cash used from 2007 to 2008 was attributable to reduced acquisition activity in 2008 as many of the properties acquired were acquired through a joint venture of which we are a 20% owner. The increase from 2006 to 2007 was due to increased acquisition activity, an increase in improvements to existing facilities, and additional investment in our consolidated joint ventures.
Cash provided by financing activities was $6.0 million in 2008 compared to $61.4 million in 2007 and $154.7 million in 2006, respectively. Our reduced acquisition activity in 2008 was the driver behind the decrease in cash provided from financing activities from 2007 to 2008. The decrease in cash provided from financing activities from 2006 to 2007 was a result of the proceeds received from our common stock offering in December of 2006 noted below.
On June 25, 2008, we entered into agreements relating to new unsecured credit arrangements, and received
23
funds under those arrangements. As part of the agreements, we entered into a $250 million unsecured term note maturing in June 2012 bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.625%. The proceeds from this term note were used to repay the Company’s previous line of credit that was to mature in September 2008, the Company’s term note that was to mature in September 2009, the term note maturing in July 2008, and to provide for working capital. The new agreements also provide for a $125 million (expandable to $150 million) revolving line of credit maturing June 2011 bearing interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.375%, and requires a 0.25% facility fee. The revolving line of credit maturity can be extended at our option until June 2012. At December 31, 2008, there was $111 million available on the unsecured line of credit.
We also maintain a $80 million term note maturing September 2013 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.26%, a $20 million term note maturing September 2013 bearing interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.50%, and a $150 million unsecured term note maturing in April 2016 bearing interest at 6.38%.
In April 2006, the Company entered into a $150 million unsecured term note maturing in April 2016 bearing interest at 6.38%. The proceeds from this term note were used to pay down the outstanding balance on the Company’s line of credit, to repay a $25 million term note entered in January 2006 and a $15 million term note entered in April 2006, and to make an additional investment into Locke Sovran I, LLC and Locke Sovran II, LLC (consolidated joint ventures). In December 2006, we issued 2.3 million shares of our common stock and realized net proceeds of $122.4 million. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay the entire outstanding balance on our line of credit that had been drawn on to finance acquisitions subsequent to April 2006. The remaining proceeds from the 2006 common stock offering were used along with 2007 borrowings under our line of credit to fund 2007 acquisitions.
The line of credit facility and term notes currently have investment grade ratings from Standard and Poor’s (BBB-) and Fitch (BBB-).
Our line of credit and term notes require us to meet certain financial covenants, including prescribed leverage, fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness and limitations on dividend payouts. As of December 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants.
In addition to the unsecured financing mentioned above, our consolidated financial statements also include $109.3 million of mortgages payable as detailed below:
* 7.80% mortgage note due December 2011, secured by 11 self-storage facilities (Locke Sovran I) with an aggregate net book value of $43.8 million, principal and interest paid monthly. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2008 on this mortgage was $29.0 million.
* 7.19% mortgage note due March 2012, secured by 27 self-storage facilities (Locke Sovran II) with an aggregate net book value of $81.2 million, principal and interest paid monthly. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2008 on this mortgage was $42.6 million.
* 7.25% mortgage note due December 2011, secured by 1 self-storage facility with an aggregate net book value of $5.8 million, principal and interest paid monthly. Estimated market rate at time of acquisition 5.40%. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2008 on this mortgage was $3.5 million.
* 6.76% mortgage note due September 2013, secured by 1 self-storage facility with an aggregate net book value of $2.0 million, principal and interest paid monthly. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2008 on this mortgage was $1.0 million.
* 6.35% mortgage note due March 2014, secured by 1 self-storage facility with an aggregate net book value of $3.8 million, principal and interest paid monthly. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2008 on this mortgage was $1.1 million.
* 5.55% mortgage notes due November 2009, secured by 8 self-storage facilities with an aggregate net book value of $34.9 million, interest only paid monthly. Estimated market rate at time of acquisition 6.44%. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2008 on this mortgage was $25.9 million.
* 7.50% mortgage notes due August 2011, secured by 3 self-storage facilities with an aggregate net book value of $14.3 million, principal and interest paid monthly. Estimated market rate at time of acquisition 6.42%. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2008 on this mortgage was $6.1 million.
24
The 7.80% and 7.19% mortgages were incurred in 2001 and 2002 respectively as part of the financing of the consolidated joint ventures. The Company assumed the 7.25%, 6.76%, 6.35%, 5.55% and 7.50% mortgage notes in connection with the acquisitions of storage facilities in 2005 and 2006.
On July 7, 2007, we issued 920,244 shares of our common stock to the holder of our 8.375% Series C Preferred Stock upon the holder’s election to convert the remaining 1,200,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into common stock. As a result of the 2007 conversion, $26.6 million recorded in shareholders’ equity as 8.375% Series C Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock was reclassified to additional paid-in capital in July 2007.
During 2008, we issued approximately 285,000 shares via our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and Employee Stock Option Plan. We received $10.7 million from the sale of such shares. We expect to issue shares when our share price and capital needs warrant such issuance.
During 2008 and 2007, we did not acquire any shares of our common stock via the Share Repurchase Program authorized by the Board of Directors. From the inception of the Share Repurchase Program through December 31, 2008, we have reacquired a total of 1,171,886 shares pursuant to this program. From time to time, subject to market price and certain loan covenants, we may reacquire additional shares.
Future acquisitions, our expansion and enhancement program, and share repurchases are expected to be funded with draws on our line of credit, sale of properties and private placement solicitation of joint venture equity. Current capital market conditions may prevent us from accessing other traditional sources of capital including the issuance of common and preferred stock and the issuance of unsecured term notes. Should these capital market conditions persist, we may have to curtail acquisitions, our expansion and enhancement program, and share repurchases as we approach June 2011, when our line of credit matures.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The following table summarizes our future contractual obligations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Interest payments includes actual interest on fixed rate debt and estimated interest for floating-rate debt based on December 31, 2008 rates.
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES
During 2008, we used operating cash flow, borrowings pursuant to the line of credit, borrowings under the bank term note, and proceeds from our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan to acquire three Properties in Mississippi and Ohio comprising 0.2 million square feet from unaffiliated storage operators. During 2007, we used operating cash flow, borrowings pursuant to the line of credit, borrowings under the bank term note, proceeds from our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, and proceeds from the December 2006 common stock offering to acquire 31 Properties in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, New York, and Texas comprising 2.3 million square feet from unaffiliated storage operators. During 2006, we used operating cash flow, borrowings pursuant to the line of credit, borrowings under the $150 million 10 year term note, and proceeds from our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan to acquire 42 Properties in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri,
25
New Hampshire, New York, Tennessee, and Texas comprising 2.6 million square feet from unaffiliated storage operators.
FUTURE ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS
�� Our external growth strategy is to increase the number of facilities we own by acquiring suitable facilities in markets in which we already have operations, or to expand in new markets by acquiring several facilities at once in those new markets. In conjunction with the joint venture agreement entered in May 2008 (see Note 13 to the financial statements), potential acquisition opportunities over the first nine months of the agreement will be offered to the joint venture. The Company’s acquisitions over this period will therefore be limited to facilities that do not fit the joint venture’s investment objectives, but do meet ours. In 2008, the Company’s joint venture (Sovran HHF Storage Holdings LLC) acquired 25 properties for approximately $171.5 million. The Company’s equity contribution to the joint venture for these purchases was approximately $18.6 million, which was financed through draws on our line of credit.
In 2008 we continued our program of expanding and enhancing our existing properties. During 2008 we spent approximately $25.6 million on such revenue enhancing improvements. In 2009 we expect to curtail our expansion of current properties with total new expenditures less than $15 million on projects started in 2008. Funding of the expansions are expected to be provided primarily from borrowings under our line of credit and issuance of common shares through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan.
DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES
During 2008, we sold one non-strategic storage facility located in Michigan for net cash proceeds of $7.0 million resulting in a gain of $0.7 million. In 2004, as part of an asset management program, we sold five non-strategic storage facilities located in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Ohio, and South Carolina to unaffiliated parties for $11.7 million resulting in a net gain of $1.1 million. No sales took place in 2005 through 2007.
We may seek to sell additional Properties to joint venture programs or third parties in 2009.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has a 20% ownership interest in Sovran HHF Storage Holdings LLC (“Sovran HHF”), a joint venture that was formed in May 2008 to acquire self-storage properties that will be managed by the Company. The carrying value of the Company’s investment at December 31, 2008 was $20.1 million. Twenty five properties were acquired by Sovran HHF as of December 31, 2008 for approximately $171.5 million. The Company contributed $18.6 million to the joint venture as its share of capital required to fund the acquisitions.
As manager of Sovran HHF, the Company earns a management and call center fee of 7% of gross revenues which totaled $0.5 million for 2008. The Company also received an acquisition fee of 0.5% of purchase price for securing purchases for the joint venture. During 2008, the Company recorded $0.6 million in acquisition fees. The Company’s share of Sovran HHF’s income for 2008 was $0.1 million. At December 31, 2008, Sovran HHF owed the Company $0.3 million for payments made by the Company on behalf of the joint venture for normal operating expenses of the joint venture.
The Company also has a 49% ownership interest in Iskalo Office Holdings, LLC, which owns the building that houses the Company’s headquarters and other tenants. The Company’s investment includes a capital contribution of $49. The carrying value of the Company’s investment is a liability of $0.5 million at December 31, 2008 and $0.4 million at December 31, 2007, and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s share of Iskalo Office Holdings, LLC’s (loss) income was ($6,000), $80,000, and $80,000, respectively. The Company paid rent to Iskalo Office Holdings, LLC of $600,000, $561,000 and $583,000 in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under the lease are $0.6 million per year through 2010.
In April 2006, the Company made an additional investment of $2.8 million in a former off-balance sheet arrangement known as Locke Sovran I, LLC that increased the Company’s ownership to over 70%. As a result of
26
this transaction the Company has consolidated the results of operations of Locke Sovran I, LLC in its financial statements since April 1, 2006, the date that it acquired its controlling interest. In June 2008, the Company made an additional investment of $6.1 million in Locke Sovran I, LLC that increased the Company’s ownership from approximately 70% to 100%. Locke Sovran I, LLC, owns 11 self-storage facilities throughout the United States.

REIT QUALIFICATION AND DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
As a REIT, we are not required to pay federal income tax on income that we distribute to our shareholders, provided that the amount distributed is equal to at least 90% of our taxable income. These distributions must be made in the year to which they relate, or in the following year if declared before we file our federal income tax return, and if it is paid before the first regular dividend of the following year. The first distribution of 2008 may be applied toward our 2007 distribution requirement.
As a REIT, we must derive at least 95% of our total gross income from income related to real property, interest and dividends. In 2008, our percentage of revenue from such sources was approximately 98%, thereby passing the 95% test, and no special measures are expected to be required to enable us to maintain our REIT designation. Although we currently intend to operate in a manner designed to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our Board of Directors to revoke our REIT election.
INTEREST RATE RISK
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt. At December 31, 2008, we have seven outstanding interest rate swap agreements as summarized below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Fixed | | Floating Rate |
| Notional Amount | | Effective Date | | Expiration Date | | Rate Paid | | Received |
| $50 Million | | | 11/14/05 | | | | 9/1/09 | | | | 4.3900 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
| $20 Million | | | 9/4/05 | | | | 9/4/13 | | | | 4.4350 | % | | 6 month LIBOR |
| $50 Million | | | 10/10/06 | | | | 9/1/09 | | | | 4.4800 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
| $50 Million | | | 7/1/08 | | | | 6/25/12 | | | | 4.2825 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
| $100 Million | | | 7/1/08 | | | | 6/22/12 | | | | 4.2965 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
| $75 Million | | | 9/1/09 | | | | 6/22/12 | | | | 4.7100 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
| $25 Million | | | 9/1/09 | | | | 6/22/12 | | | | 4.2875 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
Upon renewal or replacement of the credit facility, our total interest may change dependent on the terms we negotiate with the lenders; however, the LIBOR base rates have been contractually fixed on $270 million of our debt through the interest rate swap termination dates.
Through June 2012, $500 million of our $514 million of unsecured debt is on a fixed rate basis after taking into account the interest rate swaps noted above. Based on our outstanding unsecured debt of $514 million at December 31, 2008, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase our interest expense $0.1 million annually.
The table below summarizes our debt obligations and interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2008. The estimated fair value of financial instruments is subjective in nature and is dependent on a number of important assumptions, including discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange.

INFLATION
We do not believe that inflation has had or will have a direct effect on our operations. Substantially all of the leases at the facilities are on a month-to-month basis which provides us with the opportunity to increase rental rates as each lease matures.
SEASONALITY
Our revenues typically have been higher in the third and fourth quarters, primarily because we increase rental rates on most of our storage units at the beginning of May and because self-storage facilities tend to experience greater occupancy during the late spring, summer and early fall months due to the greater incidence of residential moves during these periods. However, we believe that our customer mix, diverse geographic locations, rental structure and expense structure provide adequate protection against undue fluctuations in cash flows and net revenues during off-peak seasons. Thus, we do not expect seasonality to affect materially distributions to shareholders.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, FASB Statement 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) was issued. SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value by providing a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets and liabilities. SFAS 157, which does not require any new fair value measurements, clarifies the application of other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The effective date for the Company is January 1, 2008 for all financial instruments — see Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the FASB has delayed the effective date of Statement 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial statements for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The effective date for the Company is January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
29
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS No. 160), which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries not held by the parent to be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. This statement also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. This Statement applies prospectively to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements and applies prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning January 1, 2009 for the Company. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB Statement 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”) was issued. SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141R requires the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value. SFAS 141R also requires transactions costs related to the business combination to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2009. We have not yet determined the impact of SFAS 141R related to future acquisitions, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 expands quarterly disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 161 on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Sovran Self Storage, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sovran Self Storage, Inc. 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 audits 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 Sovran Self Storage, Inc. at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its 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.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Sovran Self Storage, Inc.’s 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 February 25, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

SOVRAN SELF STORAGE, INC. — DECEMBER 31, 2008
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (the “Company,” “We,” “Our,” or “Sovran”), a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (a “REIT”), was formed on April 19, 1995 to own and operate self-storage facilities throughout the United States. On June 26, 1995, the Company commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering. At December 31, 2008, we had an ownership interest in and managed 385 self-storage properties in 24 states under the name Uncle Bob’s Self Storage ®. Among our 385 self-storage properties are 27 properties that we manage for a consolidated joint venture of which we are a majority owner and 25 properties that we manage for an unconsolidated joint venture of which we are a 20% owner. Over 40% of the Company’s revenue is derived from stores in the states of Texas and Florida.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: All of the Company’s assets are owned by, and all its operations are conducted through, Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Sovran Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary”), is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership; the Company is a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and through its ownership of the Subsidiary and its limited partnership interest controls the operations of the Operating Partnership, holding a 98.1% ownership interest therein as of December 31, 2008. The remaining ownership interests in the Operating Partnership (the “Units”) are held by certain former owners of assets acquired by the Operating Partnership subsequent to its formation.
We consolidate all wholly owned subsidiaries. Partially owned subsidiaries and joint ventures are consolidated when we control the entity. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, Locke Sovran I, LLC, and Locke Sovran II, LLC, which is a majority owned joint venture. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in joint ventures that we do not control but for which we have significant influence over are reported using the equity method.
In April 2006, the Company made additional investments of $8,475,000 in Locke Sovran I, LLC and Locke Sovran II, LLC that increased the Company’s ownership from approximately 45% to over 70% in each of these joint ventures. As a result of this transaction, from the date that its controlling interest was acquired, the Company has consolidated the accounts of Locke Sovran I, LLC in its financial statements. The accounts of Locke Sovran II, LLC were already being included in the Company’s financial statements as it has been a majority controlled joint venture since 2001. In June 2008, the Company made an additional investment of $6.1 million in Locke Sovran I, LLC that increased the Company’s ownership from approximately 70% to 100%.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The cash balance includes $3.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively, held in escrow for encumbered properties at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Revenue and Expense Recognition: Rental income is recognized when earned pursuant to month-to-month leases for storage space. Promotional discounts are recognized as a reduction to rental income over the promotional period, which is generally during the first month of occupancy. Rental income received prior to the start of the rental period is included in deferred revenue. Equity in earnings of real estate joint ventures that we have significant influence over is recognized based on our ownership interest in the earnings of these entities.
Cost of operations, general and administrative expense, interest expense and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, advertising costs were $1.4 million, $1.4 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. The Company accrues property taxes based on estimates and historical trends. If these estimates are incorrect, the timing and amount of expense recognition would be affected.
Other Income: Consists primarily of sales of storage-related merchandise (locks and packing supplies), insurance commissions, incidental truck rentals, and management fees from unconsolidated joint ventures.
37
Investment in Storage Facilities: Storage facilities are recorded at cost. The purchase price of acquired facilities is allocated to land, building, equipment, and in-place customer leases based on the fair value of each component. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of forty years for buildings and improvements, and five to twenty years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for significant renovations or improvements that extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. Interest and other costs incurred during the construction period of major expansions are capitalized. Capitalized interest during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.4 million. No interest was capitalized during 2006. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the basis of the Company’s property may not be recoverable, the Company’s policy is to assess any impairment of value. Impairment is evaluated based upon comparing the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the property, on a property by property basis. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, no assets had been determined to be impaired under this policy and, accordingly, this policy had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Other Assets: Included in other assets are net loan acquisition costs, a note receivable, property deposits, and the value placed on in-place customer leases at the time of acquisition. The loan acquisition costs were $6.8 million and $6.2 million at December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Accumulated amortization on the loan acquisition costs was approximately $2.5 million and $3.8 million at December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Loan acquisition costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt. The note receivable of $2.8 million represents a note from certain investors of Locke Sovran II, LLC. The note bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.4% and matures upon the dissolution of Locke Sovran II, LLC. Property deposits were $0.1 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Company allocates a portion of the purchase price of acquisitions to in-place customer leases. The value of in-place customer leases is based on the Company’s experience with customer turnover. The Company amortizes in-place customer leases on a straight-line basis over 12 months (the estimated future benefit period). At December 31, 2008, the gross carrying amount of in-place customer leases was $5.4 million and the accumulated amortization was $5.2 million
Amortization expense, including amortization of in-place customer leases, was $1.3 million, $4.8 million and $1.0 million for the periods ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consists primarily of trade payables, accrued interest, and property tax accruals. The Company accrues property tax expense based on estimates and historical trends. Actual expense could differ from these estimates.
Minority Interest: The minority interest reflects the outside ownership interest of the limited partners of the Operating Partnership and the joint venture partner’s interest in Locke Sovran II, LLC. Amounts allocated to these interests are reflected as an expense in the income statement and increase the minority interest in the balance sheet. Distributions to these partners reduce this balance. At December 31, 2008, Operating Partnership minority interest ownership was 419,952 Units, or 1.9% (at December 31, 2007 422,727 Units, or 1.9%). The redemption value of the Units at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $15.1 million and $17.0 million, respectively. The Operating Partnership is obligated to redeem each Unit at the request of the holder thereof for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock, at the time of such redemption, provided that the Company at its option may elect to acquire any such Unit presented for redemption for one common share or cash.
Income Taxes: The Company qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will generally not be subject to corporate income taxes to the extent it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. On an aggregate basis, the Company’s reported amounts of net assets exceeds the tax basis by approximately $74 million and $72 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
38
Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and the change in value of derivatives used for hedging purposes and is reported in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. Comprehensive income was $13.6 million, $35.7 million and $37.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, which requires companies to carry all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company determines the fair value of derivatives by reference to quoted market prices. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, the reason for holding it. The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to cash flow hedges, as defined in SFAS No. 133, of certain interest rate risks.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The effective date for the Company is January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS No. 160”), which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries not held by the parent to be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. This statement also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS 160 on our consolidated financial statements
In December 2007, the FASB Statement 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”) was issued. SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141R requires the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value. SFAS 141R also requires transaction costs related to the business combination to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS 141R related to future acquisitions, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 expands quarterly disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 161 on our consolidated financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement 123(R) and uses the modified-prospective method. Under the modified-prospective method, the Company recognizes compensation cost in the financial statements issued subsequent to January 1, 2006 for all share based payments granted, modified, or settled after the date of adoption as well as for any awards that were granted prior to the adoption date for which the requisite service period has not been completed as of the adoption date.
The Company recorded compensation expense (included in general and administrative expense) of $279,000, $183,000 and $119,000 related to stock options under Statement 123(R) and $1.4 million, $1.2 million and $876,000 related to amortization of non-vested stock grants for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted subsequent to the adoption of FAS 123(R). The application of this pricing model involves assumptions that are judgmental and sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. The weighted average
39
for key assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted during 2008 follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | Weighted Average | | Range |
| Expected life (years) | | | 6.53 | | | | 4.50 - 7.00 | |
| Risk free interest rate | | | 3.78 | % | | | 2.65 - 3.94 | % |
| Expected volatility | | | 22.61 | % | | | 22.40% - 24.30 | % |
| Expected dividend yield | | | 6.1 | % | | | 6.00% - 7.00 | % |
| Fair value | | $ | 4.79 | | | $ | 3.21 - $5.10 | |
To determine expected volatility, the Company uses historical volatility based on daily closing prices of its Common Stock over periods that correlate with the expected terms of the options granted. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the expected life of the options granted. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected life of stock options is based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company allocates purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. The value of land and buildings are determined at replacement cost. Intangible assets, which represent the value of existing customer leases, are recorded at their estimated fair values. During 2008, the Company acquired three storage facilities for $18.9 million. Substantially all of the purchase price of these facilities was allocated to land ($3.7 million), building ($14.7 million), equipment ($0.1 million) and in-place customer leases ($0.4 million) and the operating results of the acquired facilities have been included in the Company’s operations since the respective acquisition dates. During 2007, the Company acquired 31 storage facilities for $141.3 million. Substantially all of the purchase price of these facilities was allocated to land ($27.7 million), building ($110.0 million), equipment ($1.5 million) and in-place customer leases ($2.1 million) and the operating results of the acquired facilities have been included in the Company’s operations since the respective acquisition dates.
5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In April 2008, the Company sold one non-strategic storage facility located in Michigan for net cash proceeds of $7.0 million resulting in a gain of $0.7 million. The operations of this facility and the gain on sale are reported as discontinued operations. The amounts in the 2007 and 2006 financial statements related to the operations and the net assets of this property have been reclassified and are presented as discontinued operations and net assets from discontinued operations, respectively. Cash flows of discontinued operations have not been segregated from the cash flows of continuing operations on the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. The following is a summary of the amounts reported as discontinued operations:

7. UNSECURED LINE OF CREDIT AND TERM NOTES
On June 25, 2008, the Company entered into agreements relating to new unsecured credit arrangements, and received funds under those arrangements. As part of the agreements, the Company entered into a $250 million unsecured term note maturing in June 2012 bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.625%. The proceeds from this term note were used to repay the Company’s previous line of credit that was to mature in September 2008, the Company’s term note that was to mature in September 2009, the term note maturing in July 2008, and to provide for working capital. The new agreements also provide for a $125 million (expandable to $150 million) revolving line of credit maturing June 2011 bearing interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.375%, and requires a 0.25% facility fee. The interest rate at December 31, 2008 on the Company’s available line of credit was approximately 1.8% (5.5% at December 31, 2007). At December 31, 2008, there was $111 million available on the unsecured line of credit.
The Company also maintains an $80 million term note maturing September 2013 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.26%, a $20 million term note maturing September 2013 bearing interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.50%, and a $150 million unsecured term note maturing in April 2016 bearing interest at 6.38%.
8. MORTGAGES PAYABLE AND OTHER DEBT DISCLOSURES
Mortgages payable at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 consist of the following:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | December 31, | | | December 31, | |

| 5.55% mortgage notes due November 2009, secured by 8 self-storage facilities with an aggregate net book value of $34.9 million, interest only paid monthly. Estimated market rate at time of acquisition 6.44% | | | 25,930 | | | | 25,719 | |
| 7.50% mortgage notes due August 2011, secured by 3 self-storage facilities with an aggregate net book value of $14.3 million, principal and interest paid monthly. Estimated market rate at time of acquisition 6.42% | | | 6,087 | | | | 6,282 | |
| | | | | | | |
| Total mortgages payable | | $ | 109,261 | | | $ | 110,517 | |
| | | | | | | |
The Company assumed the 7.25%, 6.76%, 6.35%, 5.55% and 7.50% mortgage notes in connection with the acquisitions of storage facilities in 2005 and 2006. The 7.25%, 5.55%, and 7.50% mortgages were recorded at their estimated fair value based upon the estimated market rates at the time of the acquisitions ranging from 5.40% to 6.44%. The carrying value of these three mortgages approximates the actual principal balance of the mortgages payable. An immaterial premium exists at December 31, 2008, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the mortgages based on the effective interest method.
The table below summarizes the Company’s debt obligations and interest rate derivatives at December 31, 2008. The estimated fair value of financial instruments is subjective in nature and is dependent on a number of important assumptions, including discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The fair value of the fixed rate term note and mortgage note were estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable interest rates. The interest rate swaps require the Company to pay an amount equal to a specific fixed rate of interest times a notional principal amount and to receive in return an amount equal to a variable rate of interest times the same notional amount. The notional amounts are not exchanged. No other cash payments are made unless the contract is terminated prior to its maturity, in which case the contract would likely be settled for an amount equal to its fair value. The Company enters interest rate swaps with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.
The interest rate swaps qualify and are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable rate debt. Therefore, the interest rate swaps are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”). These deferred gains and losses are amortized into interest expense during the period or periods in which the related interest payments affect earnings. However, to the extent that the interest rate swaps are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in value of the interest payments being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was immaterial in 2008, 2007, and 2006.
The Company has entered into seven interest rate swap agreements as detailed below to effectively convert a total of $270 million of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Fixed | | Floating Rate |
| Notional Amount | | Effective Date | | Expiration Date | | Rate Paid | | Received |
| $50 Million | | | 11/14/05 | | | | 9/1/09 | | | | 4.3900 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
| $20 Million | | | 9/4/05 | | | | 9/4/13 | | | | 4.4350 | % | | 6 month LIBOR |
| $50 Million | | | 10/10/06 | | | | 9/1/09 | | | | 4.4800 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
| $50 Million | | | 7/1/08 | | | | 6/25/12 | | | | 4.2825 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
| $100 Million | | | 7/1/08 | | | | 6/22/12 | | | | 4.2965 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
| $75 Million | | | 9/1/09 | | | | 6/22/12 | | | | 4.7100 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
| $25 Million | | | 9/1/09 | | | | 6/22/12 | | | | 4.2875 | % | | 1 month LIBOR |
The interest rate swap agreements are the only derivative instruments, as defined by SFAS No. 133, held by the Company. During 2008, 2007, and 2006, the net reclassification from AOCI to interest expense was $2.6 million, ($1.1) million and ($0.5) million, respectively, based on payments (receipts) made or received under the swap agreements. Based on current interest rates, the Company estimates that payments under the interest rate swaps will be approximately $10.6 million in 2009. Receipts made under the interest rate swap agreements will be reclassified to interest expense as settlements occur. The fair value of the swap agreements, including accrued interest, was a liability of $25.5 million and $1.2 million at December 31, 2008, and 2007 respectively.
10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The statement indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. SFAS 157 defines fair value based upon an exit price model.
Relative to SFAS 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) 157-1, 157-2, and 157-3. FSP 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” (SFAS 13) and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and
44
nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. FSP 157-3 addresses considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active.
We adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which we have not applied the provisions of SFAS 157 include those measured at fair value in a business combination.
SFAS 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Asset | | | | | | |
| | | (Liability) | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 |
| Interest rate swaps | | | (25,490 | ) | | | — | | | | (25,490 | ) | | | — | |
Interest rate swaps are over the counter securities with no quoted readily available Level 1 inputs, and therefore are measured at fair value using inputs that are directly observable in active markets and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, using the income approach.
11. STOCK OPTIONS AND NON-VESTED STOCK
The Company established the 2005 Award and Option Plan (the “Plan”) which replaced the expired 1995 Award and Option Plan for the purpose of attracting and retaining the Company’s executive officers and other key employees. 1,500,000 shares were authorized for issuance under the Plan. The options vest ratably over four and eight years, and must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price for qualified incentive stock options must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common shares at the date of grant. As of December 31, 2008, options for 324,688 shares were outstanding under the Plans and options for 1,096,464 shares of common stock were available for future issuance.
The Company also established the 1995 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the Non-employee Plan) for the purpose of attracting and retaining the services of experienced and knowledgeable outside directors. The Non-employee Plan provides for the initial granting of options to purchase 3,500 shares of common stock and for the annual granting of options to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock to each eligible director. Such options vest over a one-year period for initial awards and immediately upon subsequent grants. In addition, effective in 2004 each outside director receives non-vested shares annually equal to 80% of the annual fees paid to them. During the restriction period, the non-vested shares may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise encumbered. The holder of the non-vested shares has all rights of a holder of common shares, including the right to vote and receive dividends. During 2008, 1,820 non-vested shares were issued to outside directors. Such non-vested shares vest over a one-year period. The total shares reserved under the Non-employee Plan is 150,000. The exercise price for options granted under the Non-employee Plan is equal to the fair market value at the date of grant. As of December 31, 2008, options for 36,000 common shares and non-vested shares of 9,160 were outstanding under the Non-employee Plan and options for no shares of common stock were available for future issuance.

| Intrinsic value of exercisable stock options at December 31, 2008 | | $ | 506,184 | |
| Intrinsic value of stock options exercised in 2008 | | $ | 37,691 | |
The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock at December 31, 2008, or the price on the date of exercise for those exercised during the year. As of December 31, 2008, there was approximately $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock award plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 5.2 years. The weighted average remaining contractual life of all options is 8.0 years, and for exercisable options is 5.7 years.
Non-vested Stock
The Company has also issued 289,587 shares of non-vested stock to employees which vest over two to nine year periods. During the restriction period, the non-vested shares may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise encumbered. The holder of the non-vested shares has all rights of a holder of common shares, including the right to vote and receive dividends. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the fair market value of the non-vested stock on the date of grant ranged from $20.38 to $59.81. During 2008, 43,893 shares of non-vested stock were issued to employees with an aggregate fair value of $1.8 million. The Company charges additional paid-in capital for the market value of shares as they are issued. The unearned portion is then amortized and charged to expense over the vesting period. The Company uses the average of the high and low price of its common stock on the date the award is granted as the fair value for non-vested stock awards.

There have not been changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our system of internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based upon criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (''COSO’’). Based on our assessment, management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008 based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in Item 9A herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Sovran Self Storage, Inc.
We have audited Sovran Self Storage, Inc.’s 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 (the COSO criteria). Sovran Self Storage, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Sovran Self Storage, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Sovran Self Storage, Inc. 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 of Sovran Self Storage, Inc. and our report dated February 25, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
