PART I
Item 1. Business
General
One Liberty Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a self administered and self
managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") incorporated under the laws of
Maryland on December 20, 1982. Prior to the year 2000, the Company's focus was
the acquisition, ownership and management of improved real property leased to
retail businesses under long-term commercial net leases. Although prior to 2000,
the Company to a limited extent, acquired, owned and managed improved commercial
real estate (office buildings, industrial building and specific purpose
buildings) net leased to corporations or governmental agencies, it expanded its
activities in this area in 2000.
Under the typical net lease, rental and other payments to be made by the lessee
are payable without diminution. The lessee, in addition to its rent obligation,
is generally responsible for payment of all charges attributable to the
property, such as real estate taxes and assessments, water and sewer rents and
charges, governmental charges and all utility and other charges incurred in the
operation of the property. The lessee is also generally responsible for
maintaining the property, including ordinary maintenance and repair and
restoration following a casualty or partial condemnation. Under some net leases
the lessor is responsible for structural items, such as foundation and slab, and
roof repair and/or replacement. In a typical net lease, the tenant is also
responsible for casualty, rent loss and liability insurance. The rental
provisions in a net lease transaction may include, but may not be limited to,
rent payable on a stepped basis (rentals increase at specified intervals), an
indexed basis (rentals increase pursuant to a formula such as the consumer price
index), a percentage basis (minimum rental payments plus additional rental in
the form of participation in the sales derived from the business conducted at
the property), or a combination of the foregoing.
The Company pursues a national operating strategy. At December 31, 2000, the
Company owned fee title to 35 properties and a leasehold position with respect
to one property. The 36 properties are located in 13 states. Twenty-five of the
36 properties are net-leased to various retail operators. Six of the properties
are improved with industrial type buildings net leased to corporations and a
government agency, two of the properties are flex type buildings (office,
research and development and warehouse) net leased to corporations, two of the
properties are health and fitness facilities net leased to a non-profit hospital
and one property is a residential apartment building leased under a long-term
ground lease to an operator.
Investment Policy
The Company's business strategy has been focused on acquiring improved,
commercial property subject to a long-term net lease which has scheduled rent
increases and this strategy will continue to be the Company's focus. Prior to
the 2000 fiscal year, the Company emphasized the acquisition and ownership of
properties improved with free standing buildings and net-leased on a long term
basis to retail operations. The Company will continue to acquire free standing
commercial properties net leased to retailers. In fiscal 2000, the Company
expanded its investment focus by more actively seeking and acquiring commercial
properties net leased to corporations and it intends to continue to focus on
such investments in the future. The Company's investment policies are as
follows:
Types of Investments - Pursuant to its by-laws, the Company is permitted to
invest in any type of real property, mortgage loans (and in both cases in
interests therein) and other investments of any nature, without limitation,
provided such investment does not adversely affect the Company's ability to
qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. No limitation is set on the
number of properties or mortgage loans in which the Company may invest, the
amount or percentage of the Company's assets which may be invested in any
specific property or on the concentration of investments in any geographic area
in the United States. The Company may consider investments in any type of real
property and in mortgage loans secured by real property; however, as stated
above, the investment policy of the Company is to invest in improved, commercial
real estate (free standing retail buildings, industrial and commercial
properties, office buildings, apartment buildings and special purpose buildings)
provided the property is subject to a net lease arrangement. Although the
Company has not acquired undeveloped acreage in the past, it may purchase, in
the future, undeveloped acreage if the purchase is in connection with the
development of a facility to be net leased to a retail operation or corporation
upon completion of development. In prior years, the Company acquired mortgages
receivable for investment. The Company has no present plans to invest in or to
originate loans to other persons whether or not secured by real property.
Although it has not done so in the past, the Company may issue securities in
exchange for properties which fit its investment criteria. The Company pursues a
national operating strategy, but does not intend to purchase properties located
outside of the United States and Puerto Rico.
After termination of any lease relating to any of the Company's properties
(either at lease expiration or early termination), the Company will seek to
relet or sell such property in a manner which will maximize the return to the
Company, considering the income and residual potential of such property.
Although the Company acquires properties for long-term investment for income
purposes and does not engage in the turnover of investments, the Company may
consider the sale or other disposition of any of the properties prior to
termination of the relevant lease if such sale or other disposition appears
advantageous. The Company may take a purchase money mortgage as part payment in
lieu of cash in connection with any sale and may take into account local custom
and prevailing market conditions in negotiating the terms of repayment. It will
be the Company's policy to use any cash realized from the sale or other
disposition of properties, net of any required distribution to shareholders to
maintain its REIT status, to pay down amounts due under loan agreements
(excluding real estate mortgage loans), if any, and in the acquisition of
additional properties.
Incurrence of Debt - The directors of the Company, in the exercise of their
business judgment, are permitted to determine the level of debt and the terms
and conditions of any financing or refinancing. There is no limitation on the
level of debt which the Company may incur. The Company has in the past and
intends in the future to borrow money, on a secured and unsecured basis.
Mortgaging specific properties on a non-recourse basis enhances the Company's
cash on cash return on its investment. The proceeds of borrowings are used for
property acquisitions, to pay down other debt and for working capital purposes.
The investment objectives of the Company are (i) to protect the Company's
capital, (ii) to provide current income; and (iii) to provide the opportunity
for increases in income and capital appreciation. In evaluating potential net
lease investments, the Company considers, among other factors (i) the intrinsic
value of the property, given its location and use, (ii) local demographics
(population, occupancy levels, rental trends), (iii) the lessee's adequacy from
a financial point of view to meet operational needs and lease obligations, (iv)
the return on equity to the Company, and (v) potential for income and capital
appreciation. The intrinsic value of the property, essentially its location and
local demographics, are given greater weight in the acquisition process than the
tenant's credit worthiness, although the tenant's financial condition and credit
worthiness is a factor given consideration in the acquisition process.
From time to time, the Company invests in publicly traded shares of other
REIT's. The Company may invest, on a limited basis, in the shares of an entity
not involved in real estate investments, provided that any such investment does
not adversely affect the Company's ability to qualify as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code. Investments by the Company in shares of another entity
are made in such a way so that the Company will not be treated as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company has not in the
past invested in the securities of another entity for the purpose of exercising
control, and it has no present plans to invest in the securities of another
entity for such purpose. However, subject to Board of Director approval, the
Company, in the future, may acquire shares of another entity with a view to
gaining control. The Company does not intend to underwrite the securities of
other issuers.
Credit Agreement
On March 24, 2000, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement
("Credit Agreement") with European American Bank ("EAB"). Borrowings under the
Credit Agreement can be used to acquire commercial real estate and to pay down
existing mortgage debt. The Credit Agreement matures March 24, 2002 with a right
for the Company to extend the Credit Agreement through March 24, 2003. EAB has
agreed to advance up to $15,000,000 on a revolving basis. The Company pays
interest on borrowings made under the Credit Agreement at the prime rate
(currently 8%) on an interest only basis, and a one-quarter of one percent
unused facility fee. Net proceeds from the sale or the financing of any property
for which the proceeds of funds taken down under the Credit Agreement were used
to purchase or finance must be applied to reduce the loan. As collateral
security for any advances taken by the Company under the Credit Agreement, the
Company has pledged the stock of each of its subsidiaries. The Company has
agreed that it and its affiliates will maintain on deposit with EAB at least 10%
of the average outstanding annual principal balance of take downs under the
Credit Agreement. If minimum balances are not maintained by the Company and its
affiliates, a deficiency fee is charged to the Company.

Item 2. Properties
----------
General
- -------
The Company, at December 31, 2000, owned fee title to 35 properties and a
leasehold position with respect to one property. The 36 properties are located
in 13 states. Eight of the properties are located in the State of Texas, eight
in the State of New York, four in the State of Illinois and three in the State
of Florida. The 36 properties are collectively referred to herein as the
"Properties" and individually as a "Property".
The Company pursues a national operating strategy. In seeking retail properties
the Company concentrates on locations which are on main thoroughfares or
arteries. With respect to industrial and commercial properties, the Company
seeks properties located relatively close to the entrances/exits of main
arteries. Twenty-five of the thirty-six Properties owned by the Company are net
leased to various retail operators under long term leases and except for two of
the Properties, are net leased to a single tenant. One of the two Properties is
net leased to four separate tenants pursuant to separate leases and the other is
net leased to two separate tenants pursuant to separate leases. Most of the
retail tenants operate on a national basis and include, among others, The Kroger
Company, Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc., Payless Shoe Source, Inc., Ames
Department Stores, Best Buy, Inc., and Petco Animal Supplies, Inc. Six of the
Properties are industrial type buildings net leased to corporations and one
government agency, two of which are used as frozen food warehouses, and two of
the Properties are flex type buildings (office, research and development and
warehouse) leased to corporations. Two of the Properties are health and fitness
facilities net leased to a non-profit hospital. Each location has adequate
parking for the building constructed on the site. One of the Properties is
subject to a long-term ground lease held by the Company as ground lessor upon
which is situated a residential apartment building containing 126 rental units
and six retail stores. The occupancy rate for the Properties has been in excess
of 97% for fiscal years 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996. The current occupancy
rate for all Properties is over 99%.
Although the Company acquires properties for long-term investment and does not
engage in a turn over of investments, the Company considers the sale of a
property prior to termination of the lease if such sale appears advantageous. In
October 2000, the Company sold to the lessee the 13 gas, service station and
convenience store properties leased to Total Petroleum, Inc. all located in the
State of Michigan. The gross sale price for these properties was $12,000,000 and
resulted in a gain of $3,603,000 for financial statement purposes. The Company
used the sales proceeds from the disposition of these thirteen properties to
acquire two net leased properties on a tax deferred exchange basis in accordance
with Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. The two properties were acquired in
December, 2000 and include an 89,000 square foot flex building located in
Ronkonkoma, New York and a 149,870 square foot flex building located in
Hauppauge, New York.
It is the policy of the Company to obtain mortgages on substantially all of its
properties. In most instances, the mortgage financing is consummated at the time
of acquisition of a property or committed for prior to or soon after
acquisition. By obtaining a mortgage commitment at or about the time a property
is acquired, the Company can determine the return which will be realized from
ownership of the property during the term (or a significant portion of the term)
of the lease. On occasion, the Company acquires a property subject to a mortgage
or elects not to obtain mortgage financing on a specific property.
At December 31, 2000, the Company had placed first mortgages on 21 of the 36
Properties it owned as of that date. At December 31, 2000, the Company had
$64,123,000 principal amount of mortgages outstanding, bearing interest at rates
ranging from 6.9% to 9.1%. Substantially all mortgages contain prepayment
penalties. The following table sets forth scheduled principal mortgage payments
due for the Properties as of December 31, 2000 (assuming no payment is made on
principal on any outstanding mortgage in advance of its due date):

Company acquires properties subject to existing leases and on occasion the lease
in place at the time of acquisition does not have as long a term as a lease term
usually negotiated by the Company. All leases are net leases, under which the
lessee, in addition to its rental obligation, is responsible for all charges
attributable to the property, such as real estate taxes and assessments, water
and sewer rents and charges. The lessee is also generally responsible for
maintaining the property, including maintenance and repair, and for restoration
following a casualty or partial condemnation. Under some net leases the Company
is responsible for structural repairs, including foundation and slab, and roof
repair or replacement.

(1) Lease expirations assume tenants do not exercise existing renewal options.

Competition
- -----------
The Company faces competition for the acquisition of net leased properties from
other REITs, investment companies, insurance companies, pension funds and
private individuals, some of whom have greater resources than the Company. The
Company also faces indirect competition from institutions that provide or
arrange for other types of commercial financing, such as traditional mortgage
financing and traditional bank financing. The Company believes that its
management's experience in real estate, mortgage lending, credit underwriting
and transaction structuring allows it to compete effectively for properties.
Environmental Matters
- ---------------------
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, regulations and
ordinances, current or former owners of real estate, may be required to
investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic chemicals, substances or waste or
petroleum products or waste (collectively, "Hazardous Materials") released on,
under, in or from such property, and may be held liable to governmental entities
or to third parties for certain damage and for investigation and clean-up costs
incurred by such parties in connection with the release or threatened release of
Hazardous Materials. Such laws typically impose responsibility and liability
without regard to whether the owner knew of or was responsible for the presence
of Hazardous Materials, and the liability under such laws has been interpreted
to be joint and several under such circumstances. The Company's leases generally
provide that the tenant is responsible for all environmental liability and for
compliance with environmental regulations relating to the tenant's operations.
Such a contractual arrangement does not eliminate the Company's statutory
liability or preclude claims against the Company by governmental authorities or
persons who are not a party to such an arrangement. Contractual arrangements in
the Company's leases may provide a basis for the Company to recover from the
tenant damages or costs for which the Company has been found liable.
The cost of investigation and clean-up of Hazardous Materials on, under, in or
from property can be substantial, and the fact that the property has had a
release of Hazardous Materials, even if remediated, may adversely affect the
value of the property and the owner's ability to sell or lease the property or
to borrow using the property as collateral. In addition, some environmental laws
create a lien on a property in favor of the government for damages and costs it
incurs in connection with the release or threatened release of Hazardous
Materials, and certain state environmental laws provide that such a lien has
priority over all other encumbrances on the property or that a lien can be
imposed on other property owned by the responsible party. Finally, the presence
of Hazardous Materials on a property could result in a claim by a private party
for personal injury or a claim by a neighboring property owner for property
damage.
Other federal, state and local laws and regulations govern the removal or
encapsulation of asbestos-containing material when such material is in poor
condition or in the event of building remodeling, renovation or demolition.
Still other federal, state and local statutes, regulations and ordinances may
require the removal or upgrading of underground storage tanks that are out of
service or out of compliance. In addition, federal, state and local laws,
regulations and ordinances may impose prohibitions, limitations and operational
standards on, or require permits, approvals and notifications in connection with
the discharge of wastewater and other water pollutants, the emission of air
pollutants and operation of air polluting equipment, the generation and
management of Hazardous Materials, and workplace health and safety.
Non-compliance with environmental or health and safety requirements may also
result in the need to cease or alter operations at a property, which could
affect the financial health of a tenant and its ability to make lease payments.
Furthermore, if there is a violation of such requirement in connection with a
tenant's operations, it is possible that the Company, as the owner of the
property, could be held accountable by governmental authorities for such
violation and could be required to correct the violation.
The Company typically undertakes an investigation of potential environmental
risks when evaluating an acquisition. Where warranted, Phase I and/or Phase II
assessments are performed by independent environmental consulting and
engineering firms. Phase I assessments do not involve subsurface testing,
whereas Phase II assessments involve some degree of soil and/or groundwater
testing. The Company may acquire a property which is known to have had a release
of Hazardous Materials in the past, subject to a determination of the level of
risk and potential cost of remediation. The Company normally requires property
sellers to indemnify it against any environmental problem existing as of the
date of purchase. Additionally, the Company normally structures its leases to
require the tenant to assume all responsibility for environmental compliance or
environmental remediation relating to the tenants operations at the Property.
Except for one non-compliance issue, the Company has not been notified by any
governmental authority of or become aware of non-compliance, liability or other
claims in connection with any of the Properties. With respect to one of the
Properties, the Company is aware of an oil spill which occurred and which,
although remediated in the past, requires additional remediation. The tenant is
responsible for the remediation, at its cost. The Company has retained an
environmental consultant to oversee the remediation. In addition, the tenant's
financial obligation for the remediation is insured and the Company is a named
insured under the policy. Accordingly, the Company has no financial exposure
with respect to the one known environmental issue.
Regulations and Insurance
- -------------------------
Americans With Disabilities Act and Similar Laws. Under the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA"), all places of public accommodation are
required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by
disabled persons. These requirements became effective in 1992. Although
management of the Company believes that the Properties are substantially in
compliance with present requirements of the ADA, the Company has not conducted
and does not presently intend to conduct an audit or investigation to determine
its compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will not incur
additional costs in complying with the ADA.
Additional legislation may place further burdens or restrictions on owners with
respect to access by disabled persons. The ultimate amount of the cost of
compliance with the ADA or such legislation is not currently ascertainable, but
are not expected to have a material effect on the Company.
Insurance. Under substantially all leases, the Company's tenants are responsible
for maintaining and paying for adequate insurance on the Properties leased by
them, including all risk insurance for the full replacement cost and liability
insurance. The Company monitors compliance by its tenants with the obligation to
insure the Properties. The Company believes all the Properties are covered by
adequate fire, flood, property, and liability insurance.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
Neither the Company nor the Properties are presently subject to any material
litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any material litigation
threatened against the Company or the Properties, other than routine litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business, which collectively are not expected
to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.

Note a: Reference is made to Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of

acquisitions and dispositions during the year ended December 31, 2000.
Note b: Each preferred shareholder of the Company had a one-time right, which
expired in September, 1999, to "put" the Preferred Stock to the Company at
$16.50 per share. Accordingly, effective September 30, 1999, the preferred stock
is included in "Stockholders' Equity".
Note c: Management generally considers Funds From Operations ("FFO") to be one
measure of financial performance of an equity REIT. The Company has adopted the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of
FFO, which was effective on January 1, 2000. Under the definition, FFO
represents income (loss) before minority interest (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")), excluding gains (losses)
from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related
depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs), and
after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Therefore,
FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance
with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an
indication of the Company's performance or to cash flows from operating
activities as a measure of liquidity or the ability to pay distributions.
Item 7. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition
-----------------------------------------------------------
And Results Of Operations
-------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents
($2,069,000 at December 31, 2000), a $15,000,000 revolving credit facility and
cash generated from operating activities. On March 24, 2000 the Company entered
into an agreement with European American Bank ("EAB") to provide a $15,000,000
revolving credit facility ("Facility"). The Facility is used primarily to
finance the acquisition of commercial real estate. The Facility matures on March
24, 2002 with an option to extend through March 24, 2003. Borrowings under the
Facility bear interest at EAB's prime rate and there is an unused facility fee
of one-quarter of 1%. Net proceeds received from the sale or refinance of
properties are required to be used to repay amounts outstanding under the
Facility if proceeds from the Facility were used to purchase the property. The
Facility is guaranteed by all Company subsidiaries which own unencumbered
properties. At December 31, 2000, $10,000,000 was outstanding under the
Facility.
On October 20, 2000, the Company sold thirteen locations it owned in Michigan
that were net leased to Total Petroleum for a gross sales price of $12,000,000.
The sale resulted in a gain of $3,603,000 for financial statement purposes. The
Company used the sales proceeds to acquire two properties on a tax-deferred
basis in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 1031; accordingly, the
Company will not realize a gain on the sale for federal income tax purposes. The
two properties were purchased during December 2000 for a total consideration of
$18,886,000, of which $11,700,000 was derived from the proceeds of the Total
Petroleum sale and the balance was funded from the credit line. Both properties
are flex buildings located in Suffolk County, New York and are net leased to
corporate tenants.
In August 2000, the Company acquired two properties located in Grand Rapids,
Michigan for a consideration of $7,100,000, of which $7,000,000 was funded from
the Facility. During December 2000, the Company placed two mortgage loans on
these properties totaling $5,000,000. The proceeds from these mortgage loans
were used to pay down the Facility. The properties and all of the improvements
are triple net leased to a non-profit hospital and are being operated as health
and fitness facilities.
In April 2000, the Company acquired a property located in Hanover, Pennsylvania
for a consideration of $11,767,000, of which $2,500,000 was funded from the
Facility, a portion of which was subsequently repaid. In connection with this
acquisition, the Company assumed a first mortgage with an outstanding principal
balance of $9,015,000. The building is net leased to a manufacturing company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company acquired three
properties for a total consideration of $23,123,000. First mortgages totaling
$15,000,000 were placed on two of these properties and the balance of $8,123,000
was paid in cash.
The Company is currently in discussions concerning the acquisition of additional
net leased properties. Cash provided from operations and the Company's cash
position will provide funds for cash distributions to shareholders and operating
expenses. These sources of funds, as well as funds available from the Facility
will provide funds for future property acquisitions. It will continue to be the
Company's policy to make sufficient cash distributions to shareholders in order
for the Company to maintain its real estate investment trust status under the
Internal Revenue Code.
On July 6, 2000, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized the purchase of its outstanding preferred stock from time-to-time in
the open market and in private transactions. The Board of Directors of the
Company allocated $1,000,000 to this repurchase program. To date, 6,600 shares
of preferred stock have been repurchased at a total cost of $91,000.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999
- ----------------------------------------------------
Rental income increased by $3,502,000 to $12,333,000 for the year ended December
31, 2000, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1999. Increases of
$3,385,000 and $178,000 were due to the acquisition of eight and four properties
during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These increases
were partially offset by a $214,000 decrease in revenues resulting from the sale
of thirteen Total Petroleum properties during October 2000.
Interest and other income decreased by $1,013,000 for the year ended December
31, 2000 to $336,000, primarily because in the 1999 fiscal year $793,000 of
unused escrow funds were returned to the Company. Interest and other income also
decreased in the year ended December 31, 2000 due to a reduction in interest
earned on cash and cash equivalents available for investment, as cash and cash
equivalents were used to fund property acquisitions.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $711,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2000 to $2,356,000 results primarily from depreciation on the
eight properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2000.
The increase in interest-mortgages payable to $4,261,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000 from $2,543,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 is due to
mortgages placed on nine properties acquired during 2000 and 1999. Interest-line
of credit amounted to $340,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000 resulting
from borrowings under the credit facility. There were no such borrowings during
the prior year.
General and administrative expenses increased by $268,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000. This increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll and
payroll related expenses.
Real estate expenses were $67,000 in the year ended December 31, 2000 and
$129,000 in the year ended December 31, 1999. The decrease is due to a refund of
real estate taxes received by the Company during the current year. The related
expense had been included in the year ended December 31, 1999.
During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company determined that the
estimated fair value of two properties were lower than their carrying amounts
and thus, the Company recorded a provision for the differences. There was no
comparable provision in the year ended December 31, 1999.
Gain on sale of real estate during the year ended December 31, 2000 results
substantially from the sale of thirteen Total Petroleum locations which resulted
in a gain of $3,603,000 for financial statement purposes. The Company also
recognized a gain of $43,000 on the sale of a property located in Kansas during
May, 2000 and a gain of $156,000 on the sale of a property located in South
Carolina during February, 2000.
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
- ----------------------------------------------------
Rental income increased by $1,744,000 to $8,831,000 for the year ended December
31, 1999 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1998 primarily due to the
acquisition of four properties in 1999 and the inclusion of rental income on
four properties acquired in 1998 for a full year.
On September 6, 1998, the Company received a payoff in full of the related party
mortgage receivable, which had previously been acquired at a discount. Included
in interest from related party for the year ended December 31, 1998 is
$2,081,000, which represents the unamortized balance of the discount. There is
no comparable income item in the year ended December 31, 1999.
Interest and other income increased by $963,000 to $1,349,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999 of which $793,000 is due to the return of unused escrow funds
upon completion of the Company's responsibility with respect to environmental
cleanup at certain locations net leased to Total Petroleum. Interest and other
income also increased in the year ended December 31, 1999 due to interest earned
on the increase in cash and cash equivalents available for investment. The
increase in cash and cash equivalents resulted from the sale of common shares by
the Company through a rights offering (consummated in June, 1998) and from the
approximate $7,600,000 the Company received from the payoff of a mortgage
receivable in September 1998.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $267,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1999 to $1,645,000 results primarily from depreciation on the
eight properties acquired during 1999 and 1998.
The increase in interest-mortgages payable to $2,543,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999 from $2,075,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 is due to
mortgages placed on seven of the properties acquired during 1999 and 1998.
Interest-bank amounted to $258,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998
resulting from borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the
Credit Agreement were made to facilitate property acquisitions. There was no
comparable expense in the year ended December 31, 1999.
General and administrative expenses increased by $255,000 to $933,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1999. This increase was due to a combination of factors,
including increases in professional fees, payroll and miscellaneous expenses
related to properties.
During the year ended December 31, 1998 the Company had determined that the
estimated fair value of certain properties were lower than their carrying
amounts and thus, the Company had taken a provision for the differences. The
total provision taken on these three properties amounted to $157,000 in the year
ended December 31, 1998. There was no comparable provision in the year ended
December 31, 1999.
Gain on sale of real estate during the year ended December 31, 1999 results from
the sale of one of the three properties the Company had taken a provision on
during 1998. The Company sold the property to the lessee and realized a gain of
$62,000 based on the adjusted basis. The 1998 gain on sale of real estate
results from the sale of a property located in the State of Washington. The
Company realized a gain of $1,102,000.
Item 7a. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
----------------------------------------------------------
The Company has considered the effects of derivatives and exposures to market
risk relating to interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity price
and equity price risk. The Company's mortgages payable bear fixed interest rates
and therefore there is no material market risk associated with these
instruments. The Company's exposure to market risk relates to its variable rate
unsecured credit facility, with the initial borrowing occurring during March,
2000. This variable rate indebtedness had a weighted average interest rate of
9.9% for the period ended December 31, 2000 and the Company believes that a 1%
change in interest rates would not have a material effect on income.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
------------------------------
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
One Liberty Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of One Liberty
Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2000 and
1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the
Index at Item 14(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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of One
Liberty Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. 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.

ONE LIBERTY PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND
One Liberty Properties, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in
1982 in the state of Maryland. The Company is a self-managed Real
Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") which currently participates in
net leasing transactions and has engaged in other real property
transactions and invested in real property mortgages. The Company
owns thirty-six properties located in thirteen states.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of One Liberty Properties, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries
and a majority-owned limited liability company. Material inter-
company items and transactions have been eliminated. One Liberty
Properties, Inc., its subsidiaries and the limited liability com-
pany are hereinafter referred to as the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
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.
Income Recognition
Rental income includes the base rent that each tenant is required
to pay in accordance with the terms of their respective leases
reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the
lease. Mortgage receivable discount was amortized over the
remaining life, utilizing the interest method, based on the
Company's evaluation of the collectibility of the carrying amount
of the mortgage.
Depreciation
Depreciation of buildings is computed on the straight-line method
over an estimated useful life of 40 years for commercial
properties and 27 and one half years for residential properties.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Deferred Financing Costs
Mortgage and credit line costs are deferred and amortized on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the respective debt
obligations.
Federal Income Taxes
The Company has qualified as a real estate investment trust under
the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Under
these provisions, the Company will not be subject to federal
income taxes on amounts distributed to stockholders providing it
distributes substantially all of its taxable income and meets
certain other conditions.
Total distributions made during 2000 and 1999 included
approximately 1% and 21%, respectively, attributable to capital
gains, with the balance to ordinary income.
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
The Company determines the appropriate classification of
securities at the time of purchase and reassesses the
appropriateness of the classification at each report date. At
December 31, 2000, all marketable securities have been classified
as available-for-sale and, as a result, are stated at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are
recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
The Company's investment in 30,048 common shares of BRT Realty
Trust ("BRT"), a related party of the Company, (accounting for
less than 1% of the total voting power of BRT), purchased at a
cost of $97,000 has a fair market value at December 31, 2000 of
$240,000. The net unrealized holding gain of $143,000 is excluded
from earnings. In addition, the Company has invested $295,000 in
various other equity securities which have a fair market value of
$228,000 at December 31, 2000. The aggregate net unrealized
holding loss of $67,000 on these investments is also excluded from
earnings. At December 31, 2000, the cumulative unrealized gain of
$76,000 on these investments is reported as a separate component
of stockholders' equity.
Realized gains and losses are determined using the average cost
method. During 2000 and 1999, sales proceeds and gross realized
gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale
were:
2000 1999
---- ----
Sales proceeds $ 156,000 $1,203,000
========== ==========
Gross realized losses $ (12,000) $ (4,000)
=========== ===========
Gross realized gains $ - $ 68,000
========== ==========
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the
balance sheet for these instruments approximate their fair values.
Notes receivable - officer: The carrying amount of the notes
receivable reported on the balance sheet is their face value. The
notes carry an interest rate equal to the prime rate and thus the
outstanding balance approximates their fair value.
Investment in equity securities: Since these investments are
considered "available-for-sale", they are reported in the balance
sheet based upon quoted market prices.
Mortgages payable: There is no material difference between the
carrying amount and the fair value because interest rates
approximate current market rates.
Accretion on Preferred Stock
The Company has Preferred Stock outstanding which is both
redeemable and convertible. The stock was initially recorded in
the financial statements at its fair value based upon the initial
average trades on the American Stock Exchange. The amount by which
the redemption value exceeded the carrying value was accreted
using the interest method through July 1, 1999. (See Note 7.)
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing net income
applicable to common stockholders for each year by the weighted
average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each
year.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock
were exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the
issuance of Common Stock that then shared in the earnings of the
Company. For the year ended December 31, 2000, diluted earnings
per share was determined by dividing net income by the total of
the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
plus the dilutive effect of the Company's outstanding options (495
shares) plus the dilutive effect of the Company's Preferred Stock
using the if-converted method. For the years ended December 31,
1999 and 1998, diluted earnings per share was determined by
dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for each
year by the total of the weighted average number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of the Company's
outstanding options (3,376 and 710 shares for the years ended 1999
and 1998, respectively) using the treasury stock method. The
Preferred Stock was not considered for the purpose of computing
diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 1999
and 1998 because their assumed conversion was antidilutive.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Options to purchase 47,500, 40,000 and 40,500 shares of Common
Stock at $12.375, $14.50 and $13.50 per share, which were granted
during March 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were not included
in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year
ended December 31, 2000 because the exercise price of these
options is greater than the average market price of the common
shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. Options
to purchase 49,500 shares of Common Stock at $11.125 per share,
which were granted during March 2000, were also not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months
ended December 31, 2000, but were included for the interim 2000
quarters when the exercise price of the options were lower than
the average market price of the common shares.
Options to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock $14.50 per
share, which were granted during March 1998, were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 because the exercise price of these
options is greater than the average market price of the common
shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. Options
to purchase 40,500 shares of Common Stock at $13.50 per share,
which were granted during March 1997, were also not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share, except for the
three months ended September 1999, June 1998 and March 1998 when
the exercise price of the options were lower than the average
market price of the common shares.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Valuation Allowance on Real Estate Owned
The Company reviews each real estate asset owned for which
indicators of impairment are present to determine whether the
carrying amount of the asset will be recovered. Recognition of
impairment is required if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to
be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying
amount. Measurement is based upon the fair market value of the
asset. Real estate assets that are expected to be disposed of are
valued at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell on an individual asset basis.
Comprehensive Income
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 130, Reporting Compre-
hensive Income. Statement No. 130 established standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.
Statement 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's
available-for-sale securities to be included in other comprehen-
sive income. At December 31, 2000, accumulated other comprehensive
income, which is solely comprised of the net unrealized gain on
available-for-sale securities was $76,000.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Segment Reporting
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 131, Disclosure About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Statement No.
131 established standards for the way that public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual
financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers. As the Company operates predominantly in one industry
segment, Statement No. 131 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 137,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133.
Statement No. 137 deferred for one year the effective date of
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and
Hedging Activities. The rule applies to fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Because of the Company's minimal use of
derivatives, management does not anticipate that the adoption
of the new statement will have a significant effect on earnings
or the financial position of the Company.
Reclassification
Certain amounts reported in previous financial statements have
been reclassified in the accompanying financial statements to
conform to the current year's presentation.
NOTE 3 - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS AND MINIMUM FUTURE RENTALS
During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company purchased
eight properties in four states for a total consideration of
$61,009,000. First mortgages totaling $29,015,000 were placed on
five of these properties, a net $10,000,000 was funded from the
credit line, $11,700,000 was from the proceeds of the sale of the
Total Petroleum properties and the balance was paid in cash.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company purchased
four properties in two states for a total consideration of
$12,565,000. First mortgages totaling $6,840,000 were placed on
the properties with the balance paid in cash.
The rental properties owned at December 31, 2000 are leased under
noncancellable operating leases to corporate tenants with current
expirations ranging from 2001 to 2038, with certain tenant renewal
rights. The majority of lease agreements are net lease
arrangements which require the tenant to pay not only rent but all
the expenses of the leased property including maintenance, taxes,
utilities and insurance. Certain lease agreements provide for
periodic rental increases and others provide for increases based
on the consumer price index.
NOTE 3 - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS AND MINIMUM FUTURE RENTALS (Continued)
The minimum future rentals to be received over the next five years
and thereafter on the operating leases in effect at December 31,
2000 are as follows:
Year Ending
December 31, (In Thousands)
------------ --------------
2001 $ 14,195
2002 13,892
2003 13,309
2004 13,376
2005 13,301
Thereafter 113,535
-------
Total $181,608
========
Included in the minimum future rentals are rentals from a property
owned in fee by an unrelated third party. The Company pays annual
fixed leasehold rent of $289,000 through April 2010 and has a
right to extend the lease for up to three 15 year and one 14 year
renewal options.
At December 31, 2000, the Company has recorded an unbilled rent
receivable aggregating $1,615,000, representing rent reported on a
straight-line basis in excess of rental payments required under
the initial term of the respective leases. This amount is to be
billed and received pursuant to the lease terms over the next
seventeen years. The minimum future rentals presented above
include amounts applicable to the repayment of these unbilled rent
receivables.

On October 20, 2000, the Company sold the thirteen locations it
owned in Michigan that were net leased to Total Petroleum, Inc.
The gross sales price was $12,000,000 which resulted in a gain of
$3,603,000 for financial statement purposes (net of accumulated
unbilled rent receivable in the amount of $791,000 written off in
connection with the sale). The Company used the sales proceeds to
acquire two additional properties on a tax deferred basis in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. Therefore, the
Company will not realize a gain for federal income tax purposes on
the sale.
Included in other income for the year ended December 31, 1999 is
$793,000 which represents the return to the Company of unused
escrow funds by the escrow agent pursuant to the lease agreement
with Total Petroleum, Inc. (entered into in 1991).
In February and May, 2000, the Company sold two properties for a
total sales price of $890,000 and recognized gains totaling
$199,000.
On July 22, 1999, the Company sold a property for a sales price of
$225,000 and recognized a gain of $62,000.
On October 30, 1998, the Company sold a property for a sales price
of $1,500,000 and recognized a gain of $1,102,000. In addition, a
second mortgage receivable the Company held on the property was
paid off as part of the sale. The outstanding balance of this
mortgage receivable was $36,000 at the time of the sale.
NOTE 4 - PROVISION FOR VALUATION ADJUSTMENT
During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1998, the Company
determined that the estimated fair value of five properties were
lower than their carrying amounts and thus, the Company recorded a
provision for the differences. The total provision taken on two of
these properties amounted to $125,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2000 and a $157,000 provision was taken on three
properties during the year ended December 31, 1998. The provisions
taken in 2000 and 1998 have been presented as a reduction to real
estate investments on the balance sheet.
NOTE 5 - INTEREST FROM RELATED PARTY
In September, 1998, the Company received an early payoff in full
of a mortgage receivable in the amount of $7,582,000. The office
building which secured this mortgage is owned by a partnership in
which Gould Investors L.P. ("Gould"), a related party, is the
General Partner and in which Gould owns substantially all of the
partnership interests. The discount of $3,738,000 was being
amortized by the Company over the original life of the mortgage.
In September, 1998, the unamortized balance of the discount (which
the Company realized as interest income) was $2,081,000. Interest
income recognized, including amortization of the discount of
$2,321,000 amounted to $2,660,000 for the year ended 1998.
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, Gould owned 542,397 and 749,172
shares of the common stock of the Company or 18% and 25.1% of the
equity interest and held 16.3% and 22.7% of the voting rights,
respectively.
See Note 8 for other related party transaction information.

NOTE 6 - DEBT OBLIGATIONS (Continued)
Line of Credit
On March 24, 2000 the Company entered into an agreement with
European American Bank ("EAB") to provide for a two year
$15,000,000 credit facility ("Facility"). The Facility provides
that the Company pay interest at EAB's prime rate on funds
borrowed and an unused facility fee of 1/4%. The Company paid
$175,000 in fees and closing costs which are being amortized over
the term of the loan. The Company has the option to extend the
term for one year. The Facility is guaranteed by all of the
Company's subsidiaries which own unencumbered properties. The
Company has agreed that it and its affiliates will maintain on
deposit with EAB at least 10% of the average outstanding annual
principal balance of take downs under the Facility. If minimum
balances are not maintained by the Company and its affiliates, a
deficiency fee is charged to the Company.
The Facility is being used primarily to finance the acquisition of
commercial real estate. The Company is required to comply with
certain covenants. Net proceeds received from the sale or
refinance of properties are required to be used to repay amounts
outstanding under the Facility if proceeds from the Facility were
used to purchase the property.
In 1998 the Company paid interest under a revolving credit
agreement with Bank Leumi Trust Company of New York, at the rate
of prime plus 1/2% on funds borrowed on an interest only basis,
plus a 1/4% servicing fee on the outstanding balance to Bank
Leumi. This agreement matured on February 28, 1999.
NOTE 7 - REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
The Preferred Stock has the following rights, qualifications and
conditions: (i) a cumulative dividend preference of $1.60 per
share per annum; (ii) a liquidation preference of $16.50 per
share; (iii) a right to convert each share of Preferred Stock at
any time into .825 of a share of Common Stock; (iv) redeemable by
the Company at $16.50 per share and (v) one-half vote per share.
Pursuant to the Company's certificate of incorporation, as
amended, each preferred shareholder of the Company had a one-time
right to "put" the Preferred Stock to the Company at $16.50 per
share for a period of ninety (90) days commencing July 1, 1999.
During this period, preferred shareholders "put" 137,268 preferred
shares to the Company for a total payment by the Company of
$2,265,000. The preferred shareholders no longer have any rights
to "put" their shares to the Company.
During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 the Company
repurchased 6,600 and 13,950 shares of Preferred Stock for an
aggregate consideration of $91,000 and $228,000, respectively.
NOTE 8 - OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Gould charged the Company $272,000, $248,000 and $202,000 during
the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
for allocated general and administrative expenses and payroll
based on time incurred by various employees.
NOTE 8 - OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)
The Company paid a company controlled by the Chairman of the Board
of Directors and certain officers of the Company brokerage fees
totaling $200,000 and $102,000 during the year ended December 31,
2000 and 1999 relating to mortgages placed on three and five of
the Company's properties, respectively. These fees were deferred
and are being amortized over the lives of the respective loans.
During the year ended December 31, 2000, this company was paid a
brokerage fee of $300,000 relating to the sale of the Total
Petroleum properties and was also paid a $4,000 fee for
supervision of repair work at a property. During the year ended
December 31, 1998, this company was paid $45,000 also relating to
the sale of real estate.
During February 2000, January 2000 and December 1999, the Company
made three loans aggregating $240,000 to its president providing
for an interest rate equal to the prime rate and maturing in
December, 2004. These loans are secured by shares of the Company
purchased with the proceeds and personally guaranteed by this
individual and his wife.
During October 1998, Gould made a $350,000 loan to the same
individual and his wife bearing interest at 9% and maturing in
October, 2001. The loan is secured by interests in several real
estate partnerships in which Gould and the Company are the
majority partners, and the wife of the Company's president is the
minority partner. The loan is also personally guaranteed. The
outstanding balance at December 31, 2000 is $117,000.
See Note 5 for other related party transaction information.
NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTIONS
On November 17, 1989, the directors of the Company adopted the
1989 Stock Option Plan. Stock options under the 1989 Stock Option
Plan are granted at per share amounts at least equal to their fair
market value at the date of grant. A maximum of 225,000 common
shares were reserved for issuance under the 1989 Stock Option
Plan, of which none are available for grant at December 31, 2000.
On December 6, 1996, the directors of the Company adopted the 1996
Stock Option Plan (Incentive/Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan).
Incentive stock options are granted at per share amounts at least
equal to their fair market value at the date of grant, whereas for
nonstatutory stock options the exercise price may be any amount
determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted under the
Plan will expire no later than ten years after the date on which
the option is granted. The options granted under the Plans are
cumulatively exercisable at a rate of 25% per annum, commencing
six months after the date of grant, and expire five years after
the date of grant. A maximum of 125,000 shares of common stock of
the Company are reserved for issuance to employees, officers,
directors, consultants and advisors to the Company, of which
42,500 are available for grant at December 31, 2000.
NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTIONS (Continued)
Changes in the number of common shares under all option
arrangements are summarized as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
-------------------------------------
2000 1999 1998
---- ---- ----
Outstanding at beginning of period 128,000 80,500 40,500
Granted 49,500 47,500 40,000
Option prices $11.125 $12.375 $14.50
Exercisable at end of period 106,625 62,250 30,250
Exercised - - -
Expired - - -
Outstanding at end of period 177,500 128,000 80,500
Option price per share outstanding $11.125-$14.50 $12.375-$14.50 $13.50-$14.50
As of December 31, 2000, the outstanding options had a weighted
average remaining contractual life of approximately 2.82 years and
a weighted average exercise price of $12.76.
The Company adopted Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"), and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options.
Under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized because the
exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the
market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, is not applicable because
it requires use of option valuation models that were not developed
for use in valuing employee stock options.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share
is required by FASB No. 123, and has been determined as if the
Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the
fair value method. The fair value for these options was estimated
at the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2000 and
1999, respectively: risk free interest rate of 5.22% and 6.41%,
dividend yield of 11.03% and 9.7%, volatility factor of the
expected market price of the Company's Common Stock based on
historical results of .116; and expected lives of 5 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option
valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the
Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and changes
in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair
value estimate, management believes the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of
its employee stock options. Had the fair value method of
accounting been applied to the Company's stock plan, which
requires recognition of compensation cost ratably over the vesting
period, pro forma net income applicable to common stockholders
would have been $3,610 which would result in pro forma earnings of
$1.22 per share in 1999.
NOTE 10 - DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN
In May, 1996, the Company implemented a Distribution Reinvestment
Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides owners of record of 100
shares or more of its common and/or preferred stock the
opportunity to reinvest cash distributions in newly-issued common
stock of the Company at a five percent discount from the market
price. No open market purchases are made under the Plan. During
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company issued
30,532 and 39,074 common shares, respectively, under the Plan.
NOTE 11 - RIGHTS OFFERING
On June 22, 1998, the Company sold 1,331,733 shares of Common
Stock at $13.25 per share in a rights offering to its
stockholders. The Company had issued one nontransferable right for
each common and/or preferred share owned of record as of March 24,
1998 entitling the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock
for a price of $13.25 per share and certain over-subscription
privileges. Gould purchased 769,232 shares or 57.7% of the total
shares issued. The offer expired on June 15, 1998.
NOTE 12 - PRO FORMA RESULTS (Unaudited)
The following unaudited pro forma operating results of the Company
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 have been prepared
as if the property acquisitions and dispositions made during 2000
and 1999 had occurred on January 1, 1999. No recognition of any
gain on sale of real estate is included. Unaudited pro forma
financial information is presented for informational purposes only
and may not be indicative of what the actual results of operations
of the Company would have been had the events occurred as of
January 1, 1999, nor does it purport to represent the results of
operations for future periods.
