PART 1
This Form 10-K, together with other statements and information publicly
disseminated by the Company, contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such
statements are based on assumptions and expectations which may not be
realized and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which
cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be
anticipated. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may
differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Risks and other factors that might cause such a difference
include, but are not limited to, the effect of economic and market
conditions; risks that the Company's acquisition and development projects
will fail to perform as expected; financing risks, such as the inability to
obtain debt or equity financing on favorable terms; the level and volatility
of interest rates; loss or bankruptcy of one or more of the Company's major
retail tenants; and failure of the Company's properties to generate
additional income to offset increases in operating expenses, as well as other
risks listed herein under Item 1. Business and from time to time in the
Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or
otherwise publicly disseminated by the Company.
References herein to the "Company" include Agree Realty Corporation,
together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority owned
partnership, Agree Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), unless
the context otherwise requires.
Item 1. BUSINESS
General
The Company is a self-administered, self-managed real estate investment
trust (a "REIT") which develops, acquires, owns and operates properties which
are primarily leased to major national and regional retail companies under
net leases. As of December 31, 1998, the Company owned, either directly or
through interests in joint ventures, a portfolio of 39 properties (the
"Properties") located in 12 states and containing an aggregate of
approximately 3.4 million square feet of gross leasable area. The Properties
consist of 14 neighborhood and community shopping centers and 25
free-standing properties. The Company independently owns 18 of the
free-standing properties and owns the other 7 through joint ventures (the
"Joint Venture Properties"). As of December 31, 1998, approximately 98% of
gross leasable area in the Portfolio was leased, and approximately 94% of the
Company's base rental income was attributable to national and regional
retailers. Such retailers include Kmart Corporation ("Kmart"), Borders, Inc.
("Borders"), Roundy's Inc. ("Roundy's") and Walgreen Co. ("Walgreen") which,
as of December 31, 1998, collectively represented approximately 69% of
current base rental income. See "Major Tenants." The Company was the
developer of all 14 of the shopping centers and 20 of the 25 free-standing
properties.
The Company was formed in December 1993 to continue and expand the
retail property business founded in 1971 by its current Chairman of the Board
of Directors and President, Richard Agree. Since 1971, the Company and its
predecessors have specialized in building properties to
-3-
suit for national and regional retailers who have signed long-term net leases
prior to commencement of construction. The Company believes that this
strategy provides it with a predictable source of income from primarily
national and regional retail tenants in its existing properties and also
provides opportunities for development of additional properties at attractive
returns on investment, without the lease-up risks inherent in speculative
development.
The Company's headquarters are located at 31850 Northwestern Highway,
Farmington Hills, MI 48334 and its telephone number is (248) 737-4190.
Description of Business
Objectives
The Company's primary objectives are (i) to realize steady and
predictable cash flows through the ownership of high quality properties
leased primarily to national and regional retailers, and (ii) to maximize
stockholder returns through the development or acquisition of additional
properties. The Company intends to achieve these objectives by implementing
the growth, operating and financial strategies outlined below.
o Developing or acquiring each property with the objective of holding it
for long-term investment value.
o Developing or acquiring properties in what the Company considers to be
attractive long-term locations. Such locations typically have (i)
convenient access to transportation arteries with traffic count that is
higher than average for the local market; (ii) concentrations of other
retail properties; and (iii) demographic characteristics which are
attractive to the retail tenant which will lease the property.
o Generally, purchasing land and beginning development of a property only
upon the execution of a lease with a national or regional retailer on
terms that provide a return on estimated cost which is attractive
relative to the Company's cost of capital.
o Directing all aspects of development, including construction, design,
leasing and management. Property management and the majority of the
leasing activities are handled directly by Company personnel. The Company
believes that this approach to development and management enhances the
ability of the Company to develop and maintain assets of high
construction quality which are designed, leased and maintained to
maximize long-term value and enables it to operate efficiently.
The Company believes that the relationships established by its
principals with national and regional retailers as well as the financing
relationships its principals have developed with lenders provide it with
opportunities not generally available to its competitors, thereby providing
the Company with an advantage in achieving its objectives.
Recent Developments
During 1998 the Company completed the development of four (4)
free-standing properties which added 66,496 square feet of gross leasable
area to the Company's operating portfolio and cost
-4-
approximately $12.7 million. Three (3) of the properties are leased to
Walgreen and one (1) property is leased to Borders.
On August 18, 1998 the Company acquired the Mt Pleasant Shopping Center,
a community shopping center, located in Mt Pleasant, Michigan. The shopping
center is anchored by national tenants, contains 241,458 square feet of gross
leasable area and is 100% leased and occupied. The purchase price of
$9,076,000 was established by an independent appraisal. Payment consisted of
$8,385,000 in debt assumption, with the balance paid through the issuance of
35,588 Operating Partnership units. The sellers were Richard Agree, President
and Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors and Edward Rosenberg, a
Director of the Company. Mr. Agree and Mr. Rosenberg are limited partners in
the Operating Partnership. The Company had managed this property since April
1994, the date of its initial public offering.
Major Tenants
As of December 31, 1998, approximately 60% of the Company's gross
leasable area, including the Joint Venture Properties, was leased to Kmart
and Borders and approximately 52% of total annualized base rents was
attributable to these tenants. At December 31, 1998, Kmart occupied
approximately 40% of the Company's gross leasable area, including the Joint
Venture Properties, and accounted for approximately 28% of the annualized
base rent. At December 31, 1998 Borders occupied approximately 20% of the
Company's gross leasable area, including the Joint Venture Properties, and
accounted for approximately 24% of the annualized base rent. No other tenants
account for more than 10% of gross leasable area or annualized base rent in
1998. The loss of any of these anchor tenants or the inability of any of them
to pay rent could have an adverse effect on the Company's business.
Financing Strategy
As of December 31, 1998, the Company's ratio of indebtedness to market
capitalization was 52%. The Company intends to maintain a ratio of total debt
(including construction and acquisition financing) to market capitalization
of 65% or less. The Company plans to begin construction of additional
pre-leased developments and may acquire additional properties that will
initially be financed by its Credit Facility and Line of Credit (each as
hereinafter defined). Management intends to periodically refinance short-term
construction and acquisition financing with long-term debt and / or equity.
Upon completion of refinancing, the Company intends to lower the ratio of
total debt to market capitalization to 50% or less. Nevertheless, the Company
may operate with debt levels or ratios that are in excess of 50% for extended
periods of time prior to such refinancing.
The Company may from time to time re-evaluate its borrowing policies in
light of then current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity
capital, market value of properties, growth and acquisition opportunities and
other factors. However, there is no contractual limit on the Company's ratio
of debt to total market capitalization and, accordingly, the Company may
modify its borrowing policy and may increase or decrease its ratio of debt to
market capitalization without shareholder approval.
-5-
Tax Status
The Company has operated and intends to operate in a manner to qualify
as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). In order to maintain qualification as a REIT,
the Company must, among other things, distribute at least 95% of its real
estate investment trust income and meet certain other asset and income tests.
Additionally, ownership of the Company, directly or constructively, by any
single person is limited to 9.8% of the total number of outstanding shares,
subject to certain exceptions. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to
federal income tax with respect to that portion of its income that meets
certain criteria and is distributed annually to the stockholders.
Competition
The Company faces competition in seeking properties for acquisition and
tenants who will lease space in these properties from insurance companies,
credit companies, pension funds, private individuals, investment companies
and other REITs, many of which have greater financial and other resources
than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
successfully compete with such entities in its development, acquisition and
leasing activities in the future.
Potential Environmental Risks
Investments in real property create a potential for environmental
liability on the part of the owner or operator of such real property. If
hazardous substances are discovered on or emanating from a property, the
owner or operator of the property (including the Company) may be held
strictly liable for all costs and liabilities relating to such hazardous
substances. The Company has had a Phase I environmental study (which involves
inspection without soil sampling or ground water analysis) conducted on each
Property by independent environmental consultants. Furthermore, the Company
has adopted a policy of conducting a Phase I environmental study on each
property it acquires.
The Phase I environmental studies conducted by the Company have not
revealed the existence of any hazardous substance or environmental liability
on the Properties. In addition, the Company has no knowledge of any hazardous
substances existing on the Properties in violation of any applicable laws;
however, no assurance can be given that such substances are not located on
any of the Properties. The Company carries no insurance coverage for the
types of environmental risks described above.
The Company believes that it is in compliance, in all material respects,
with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding
hazardous or toxic substances. The Company has not been notified by any
governmental authority of any noncompliance, liability or other claim in
connection with any of the Properties.
Employees
As of March 15, 1999, the Company employed eight persons. Employee
responsibilities include accounting, construction, leasing, property
coordination and administrative functions for the Properties. The
-6-
Company's employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement and
the Company considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.
Financial Information About Industry Segments
The Company is in the business of development, acquisition and
management of shopping centers and free-standing properties. The Company
considers its activities to consist of a single industry segment. See the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain information required in Item 1.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
The Properties consist of 14 neighborhood and community shopping centers
and 25 free-standing properties. As of December 31, 1998, approximately 98%
of GLA in the Portfolio was leased, and approximately 94% of the Company's
base rental income was attributable to, national and regional retailers. Such
retailers include Kmart, Borders, Roundy's and Walgreen which, at December
31, 1998, collectively represented approximately 69% of current base rental
income.
A substantial portion of the Company's income consists of rent received
under net leases. Most of the leases provide for the payment of fixed base
rentals monthly in advance and for the payment by tenants of a pro rata share
of the real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and common area maintenance of
the shopping center as well as payment to the Company of a percentage of such
tenant's sales. However the payments of percentage rents to the Company
historically have not been material and the Company does not anticipate that
they will become material in the future. Although a majority of the leases
require the Company to make roof and structural repairs, as needed, a number
of leases place that responsibility on the tenant. The Company's management
places a strong emphasis on sound construction and maintenance on its
properties.

(1) These properties are subject to long-term ground leases where a
third party owns the underlying land and has leased the land to the
Company to construct or operate three free-standing properties. The
Company pays rent for the use of the land and generally is
responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the building
and improvements. At the end of the lease terms, as extended
(Aventura, FL 2036, Lawrence, KS 2027 and Perrysburg, OH 2038), the
land together with all improvements revert to the land owner. The
Company has an option to purchase the Perrysburg property during its
lease term. The Company has an option to purchase the Lawrence
property during the period October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2016.
Joint Venture Properties
During 1996, the Company developed or acquired seven free-standing
Properties which are leased to Borders, including Borders' current corporate
headquarters, its former headquarters building and Properties operated as
Borders Books and Music. Each of these Properties is owned by a separate
limited liability company or a limited partnership that is owned jointly by
the Company and an affiliate of Borders (the "Joint Ventures"). The Company's
economic interest in the Joint Ventures ranges from 8% to 20%. The financing
for the development of the Joint
-12-
Venture Properties was provided through a financing facility established by
Borders and its affiliates (the "Borders Financing Facility").
The lease between Borders and each of the Joint Ventures has a term
expiring October 16, 2002, unless the Borders Financing Facility is extended
or earlier terminated. At any time during the term of the lease, Borders has
the right to refinance the Property or to purchase the Property for various
percentages of total project costs, provided that, prior to such refinancing
or purchase, the Company may elect to provide alternative financing for the
Property or purchase the Property and purchase the interest of the Borders'
affiliate in the Joint Venture. In the event the Company elects to provide
financing or to purchase the Property, and is subsequently unable to obtain
the requisite financing, or in the event that the Company defaults in its
development obligations to the Joint Venture, Borders may purchase the
Property. If the Company provides refinancing or purchases the Property, the
Company will be required to acquire the interest of the Borders' affiliate in
the Joint Venture, and Borders and the Joint Venture will enter into a new
lease providing for a term of 20 years, with four five-year extension
options.
Under certain circumstances, the Company may elect to allow Borders to
place long-term financing on such Properties, in which case, the Company will
maintain its current interest in the Joint Venture and become the sole equity
member of the entity which owns such Property. In such a circumstance, the
Company will own the Property subject to a first mortgage loan which could
exceed 90% of the Property's estimated value, and lease payments received by
the Company would be adjusted to reflect Borders' financing.
The Company's investment in the seven Joint Venture properties currently
yields approximately $690,000 annualized base rent. Of this amount, the
Company estimates that approximately $125,000 is variable based on short-term
financing. Under certain circumstances relating to refinancing of such
assets, the rents paid pursuant to such leases are subject to adjustment. The
following table provides additional information on the Joint Venture
Properties.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANYALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Company was established to continue to operate and expand the retail
property business of its predecessors. The Company commenced its operations
on April 22, 1994 with the sale of 2,500,000 shares of common stock in its
initial public offering. The net cash proceeds to the Company from the
completion of this offering were approximately $45.4 million, which were used
primarily to reduce outstanding indebtedness, pay stock issuance costs and
establish a working capital reserve. On May 21, 1997, the Company completed a
second offering of 1,625,000 shares of common stock at $20.625 per share; on
June 18, 1997 the underwriters exercised their overallotment option for an
additional 28,850 shares at the same per share price (collectively, "the 1997
Offering"). The net proceeds from the 1997 Offering of approximately $31.9
million were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Company's Credit
Facility.
The assets of the Company are held by, and all operations are conducted
through, Agree Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which
the Company is the sole general partner and held an 86.58% interest as of
December 31, 1998. The Company is operating so as to qualify as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes.
The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements of Agree Realty Corporation, including the respective
notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 1998 to Year Ended December 31, 1997
Rental income increased $1,354,000, or 8%, to $17,506,000 in 1998,
compared to $16,152,000 in 1997. The increase was the result of the
development and acquisition of two Properties in 1997 and four Properties in
1998.
Operating cost reimbursement, which represents additional rent required
by substantially all of the Company's leases to cover the tenants'
proportionate share of property operating expenses, increased $95,000, or 5%,
to $2,092,000 in 1998, compared to $1,997,000 in 1997. Operating cost
reimbursement increased due to the increase in real estate taxes and property
operating expenses from 1997 to 1998, as explained below.
Management fees and other income decreased $9,000, or 10%, to $76,000 in
1998, compared to $85,000 in 1997. The decrease was the result of a reduction
in management fees due to the Company's acquisition of a property it
previously managed.
Real estate taxes increased $158,000, or 11%, to $1,556,000 in 1998
compared to $1,398,000 in 1997. The increase is the result of the addition of

Property operating expenses (shopping center maintenance, insurance and
utilities) increased $13,000, or 1%, to $948,000 in 1998 compared $935,000 in
1997. The increase was the result of decreased snow removal costs of $54,000;
an increase in shopping center maintenance costs of $78,000; an increase in
utility costs of $38,000; and a decrease in insurance costs of $49,000 in
1998 versus 1997.

General and administrative expenses increased $63,000, or 6%, to
$1,170,000 in 1998 compared to $1,107,000 in 1997. The increase was primarily

administrative expenses as a percentage of rental income decreased from 6.9%
for 1997 to 6.7% for 1998.
Depreciation and amortization increased $291,000, or 10%, to $3,073,000
in 1998 compared to $2,782,000 in 1997. The increase was the result of the
development and acquisition of six new Properties in 1997 and 1998.
Interest expense decreased $321,000, or 9%, to $5,231,000 in 1998, from
$5,552,000 in 1997. The decrease in interest expense was the result of the
Company using the proceeds of the 1997 Offering to reduce the Company's
indebtedness.
Development fee income increased $119,000, to $176,000 in 1998, from
$57,000 in 1997. Development fee income is not included in the Company's
calculation of Funds from Operations, due to the non-recurring nature of this
type of income.
The Company recognized income of $103,000 on the sale of a parcel of
land in 1997. There were no land sales in 1998.
Equity in net loss of unconsolidated entities remained relatively
constant at to $8,000 in 1998 compared to $6,000 in 1997.
The Company recognized an extraordinary item of $319,000 in 1998
relating to the prepayment of a mortgage on a property located in Winter
Garden, Florida. The costs represent a prepayment penalty of $93,000 and the
write-off of deferred finance costs of $226,000. There were no extraordinary
items in 1997.
The Company's income before minority interest increased $835,000 as a
result of the foregoing factors.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 1997 to Year Ended December 31, 1996
Rental income increased $1,702,000, or 12%, to $16,152,000 in 1997,

in 1997, compared to $1,761,000 in 1996. Operating cost reimbursement
increased due to the increase in real estate taxes and property operating
expenses from 1996 to 1997, as explained below.
-19-
Management fees and other income remained relatively constant at $85,000
in 1997 compared to $81,000 in 1996.
Real estate taxes increased $229,000, or 20%, to $1,398,000 in 1997
compared to $1,169,000 in 1996. The increase is the result of the addition of
new properties.
Property operating expenses (shopping center maintenance, insurance and
utilities) decreased $45,000, or 5%, to $935,000 in 1997 compared $980,000 in
1996. The decrease was the result of decreased snow removal costs of $56,000;
an increase in shopping center maintenance costs of $25,000; a decrease in
utility costs of $6,000; and a decrease in insurance costs of $8,000 in 1997
versus 1996.
Land lease payments increased $116,000 to $452,000 in 1997 compared to
$336,000 in 1996 as a result of the ground lease on the free standing
Property in Aventura, Florida acquired in April 1996.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant at
$1,107,000 in 1997 compared to $1,105,000 in 1996. General and administrative
expenses as a percentage of rental income decreased from 7.6% for 1996 to
6.9% for 1997.
Depreciation and amortization increased $162,000, or 6%, to $2,782,000
in 1997 compared to $2,620,000 in 1996. The increase was the result of the
development of five new Properties in 1996.
Interest expense decreased $549,000, or 9%, to $5,552,000 in 1997, from
$6,101,000 in 1996. The decrease in interest expense was the result of the
Company using the proceeds of the 1997 Offering to reduce the Company's
indebtedness.
Development fee income decreased $452,000, to $57,000 in 1997, from
$509,000 in 1996. The decrease in development fee income was the result of
the Company substantially completing the development of four Joint Venture
Properties in 1996. Development fee income is not included in the Company's
calculation of Funds from Operations, due to the non-recurring nature of this
type of income.
The Company recognized income of $103,000 on the sale of a parcel of
land in 1997 compared to the recognition of $84,000 of income on the sale of
a parcel of land in 1996.
Equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated entities decreased $64,000
to ($5,000) in 1997 compared to $59,000 in 1996 as a result of additional
expenses in 1997 related to certain of the Joint Venture Properties in which
the Company holds interests ranging from 8% to 20%.
The Company's income before minority interest increased $1,530,000 as a
result of the foregoing factors.
Funds From Operations
Management considers Funds from Operations ("FFO") to be a supplemental
measure of the Company's operating performance. FFO is defined by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") to
mean net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses)
-20-
from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
entities in which the REIT holds an interest. FFO does not represent cash
generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not
be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the
Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a
measure of liquidity.
The following table illustrates the calculation of FFO for the
years-ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996:

FFO increased $1,473,000 or 15% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to
$11,055,000. FFO increased $2,505,000, or 35%, for the year ended December
31, 1997, to $9,581,000. The increase in FFO is primarily the result of the
reduction in interest expense as a result of the completion of the 1997
Offering and the development and acquisition of six Properties in 1997 and
1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal demands for liquidity are distributions to its
stockholders, debt repayment, development of new properties and future
property acquisitions.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company declared a
quarterly dividend of $.46 per share. The dividend was paid on January 7,
1999 to holders of record on December 23, 1998.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had total mortgage indebtedness of
$41,299,294 with a weighted average interest rate of 7.04%. Future scheduled
annual maturities of mortgages payable for the years ending December 31 are
as follows: 1999 - $8,138,507; 2000 - $698,354; 2001 - $748,838; 2002 -
$802,972; 2003 - $861,019. The mortgage debt is all fixed rate debt. The
Company is currently in the process of obtaining replacement financing for
the mortgage on its Lakeland, Florida property, which matures on April 1,
1999. The Company anticipates that the replacement financing in the amount of
approximately $7,700,000 will be on terms similar to the current mortgage.

In addition, the Operating Partnership has in place a $50 million line
of credit facility (the "Credit Facility") which is guaranteed by the
Company. The loan matures in August 2000 and can be extended by the Company
for an additional three years. Advances under the Credit Facility bear
interest within a range of one-month to six-month LIBOR plus 150 basis points
to 213 basis points or the lender's prime rate less 50 basis points to plus
13 basis points, at the option of the Company, based on certain factors such
as debt to property value and debt service coverage. The Credit Facility is
used to fund property acquisitions and development activities and is secured
by most of the Company's Properties which are not otherwise encumbered and
properties to be acquired or developed. As of December 31, 1998, $35,158,232
was outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Company also has in place a $5 million line of credit (the "Line of
Credit"), which matures on October 19, 1999, and which the Company expects to
renew for an additional 12-month period. The Line of Credit bears interest at
the lender's prime rate less 50 basis points or 175 basis points in excess of
the one-month LIBOR rate, at the option of the Company. The purpose of the
Line of Credit is to provide working capital to the Company and fund land
options and start-up costs associated with new projects. As of December 31,
1998, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit.
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries have obtained construction
financing of approximately $7,300,000 to fund the development of two retail
properties. The notes require quarterly interest payments, based on a
weighted average interest rate based on LIBOR, computed by the lender. The
notes mature on October 16, 2002 and are secured by the underlying land and
buildings. As of December 31, 1998, $7,143,836 was outstanding under these
notes.
The Company has received funding from an unaffiliated third party for
the construction of certain of its Properties. Advances under this
arrangement bear no interest and are required to be repaid within sixty (60)
days after the date construction has been completed. The advances are secured
by the specific land and buildings being developed. As of December 31, 1998,
$1,730,490 was outstanding under this arrangement.
In December 1998, the Company completed development of one property that
added 13,905 square feet of gross leasable area to its portfolio. The
property is located in Grand Blanc, Michigan. The development of this retail
project is expected to have a positive effect on cash generated by operating
activities and Funds from Operations.
The Company has one development project under construction that will add
an additional 14,000 square feet of retail space to the Company's portfolio.
The project is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 1999.
Additional Company funding required for this project is estimated to be
$1,316,000 and will come from the Credit Facility. Management expects the
development of this project to have a positive effect on cash generated by
operating activities and Funds from Operations.
The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity requirements,
including capital expenditures related to the leasing and improvement of the
Properties, through its cash flow provided by operations and the Line of
Credit. Management believes that adequate cash flow will be available to fund
the Company's operations and pay dividends in accordance with REIT
requirements. The Company may obtain additional
-22-
funds for future development or acquisitions through other borrowings or the
issuance of additional shares of capital stock. The Company intends to incur
additional debt in a manner consistent with its policy of maintaining a ratio
of total debt (including construction and acquisition financing) to total
market capitalization of 65% or less. The Company believes that these
financing sources will enable the Company to generate funds sufficient to
meet both its short-term and long-term capital needs.
The Company plans to begin construction of additional pre-leased
developments and may acquire additional properties, which will initially be
financed by the Credit Facility and Line of Credit. Management intends to
periodically refinance short-term construction and acquisition financing with
long-term debt and / or equity. Upon completion of refinancing, the Company
intends to lower the ratio of total debt to market capitalization to 50% or
less. Nevertheless, the Company may operate with debt levels or ratios which
are in excess of 50% for extended periods of time prior to such refinancing.
Year 2000 Costs
The Company's information system consists of a three station Windows NT
network system. All accounting and property management functions are
processed via Timberline Software, a nationally recognized provider of
software to the real estate industry. The Company is currently assessing its
significant business relationships with external parties, including its major
tenants, to determine if their failure to be Year 2000 compliant would have a
material adverse effect upon the Company. In the event that any of the
Company's significant tenants, vendors, banks or others with whom it does
business do not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, the
Company's operations may be affected. To date, nothing has come to the
attention of management that leads it to conclude that the likelihood of such
adverse effect reasonably exists. However, because the complexities involved,
management cannot provide assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not have an
impact of the Company's operations.
The Company has completed a review of its information systems and
believes its business technologies are fully compliant with any issues that
may arise as a result of Year 2000 issues.
Inflation
The Company's leases generally contain provisions designed to mitigate
the adverse impact of inflation on net income. These provisions include
clauses enabling the Company to pass through to tenants certain operating
costs, including real estate taxes, common area maintenance, utilities and
insurance, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and
operating expenses resulting from inflation. Certain of the Company's leases
contain clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rents based on
tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and, in
certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates
during the terms of the leases. In addition, expiring tenant leases permit
the Company to seek increased rents upon re-lease at market rates if rents
are below the then existing market rates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS NO.
133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
Statement, which is effective in fiscal year 2000, is not expected to have an
impact on the Company's financial statements.
Item 7A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALATATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its
borrowing activities. There is inherent roll over risk for borrowings as they
mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is
not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest
rates and the Company's' future financing requirements.
Mortgages payable - As of December 31, 1998 the Company had two
mortgages outstanding. The first mortgage in the amount of $33,600,000 bears
interest at 6.875% until April 1999 at which time the rate changes to 7.00%
per annum until November 2005 when the remaining balance is due. The second
mortgage in the amount of $7,699,294 bears interest at 7.75% and matures on
April 1, 1999. The Company expects to refinance this mortgage at a similar
interest rate for a five or seven year period.
Construction loans - As of December 31, 1998 the Company had
Construction loans outstanding of $8,874,326. Under the terms of the
construction loans the Company bears no interest rate risk.
Notes payable - As of December 31, 1998 the Company had $35,158,232
outstanding on its Secured Line-of-Credit all of which had a variable
interest rate, based on LIBOR.
The Company does not enter into financial instruments transactions for
trading or other speculative purposes or to manage interest rate exposure.
A 10% adverse change in interest rates on the portion of the Company's
debt bearing interest at variable rates would result in an increase in
interest expense of approximately $187,000.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Owners of
Agree Realty Corporation
Farmington Hills, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Agree Realty
Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. We have also
audited the schedule listed in the accompanying index. These financial
statements and the schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and the schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the
schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and the schedule. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and the
schedule. 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 financial position of Agree
Realty Corporation at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects,
the information set forth therein.

Agree Realty Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Company
Agree Realty Corporation (the "Company") is a self-administered, self-managed
real estate investment trust which develops, acquires, owns and operates
properties which are primarily leased to national and regional retail
companies under net leases. At December 31, 1998, the Company's properties
are comprised of fourteen shopping centers and eighteen single tenant retail
facilities located in twelve states. In addition, the Company owns joint
venture interests ranging from 8% to 20% in seven free-standing retail
properties. During the year ended December 31, 1998, approximately 94% of the
Company's base rental revenues were received from national and regional
tenants under long-term leases, including approximately 28% from Kmart
Corporation and 24% from Borders, Inc.
2. Summary of
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of Agree Realty Corporation include the
accounts of the Company, its majority-owned partnership, Agree Limited
Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company controlled, as the sole general partner, 86.58% and 87.16% of the
Operating Partnership as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, and (2) revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F - 9
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which consist of
cash, cash equivalents, receivables, notes payable, accounts payable and
long-term debt, approximate their fair values.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets such as real estate investments are evaluated for
impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such
impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value. No
impairment loss recognition has been required through December 31, 1998.
Real Estate Investments
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All
costs related to planning, development and construction of buildings prior to
the date they become operational, including interest and real estate taxes
during the construction period, are capitalized for financial reporting
purposes.
Subsequent to completion of construction, expenditures for property
maintenance are charged to operations as incurred, while significant
renovations are capitalized. Depreciation of the buildings is recorded on the
straight-line method using an estimated useful life of forty years.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market accounts.
Accounts Receivable - Tenants
Accounts receivable from tenants reflect primarily reimbursement of specified
common area expenses. No allowance for uncollectible accounts is considered
necessary due to past collection results.
F - 10
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in non-
majority owned entities where the Company has the ability to exercise
significant influence over operating and financial policies.
The Company's initial investment is recorded at cost, and the carrying amount
of the investment is (a) increased by the Company's share of the investees'
earnings (as defined in the limited liability company agreements), and (b)
reduced by distributions paid from the investees to the Company.
Unamortized Deferred Expenses
Deferred expenses are stated net of total accumulated amortization. The
nature and treatment of these capitalized costs are as follows: (1) financing
costs, consisting of expenditures incurred to obtain long-term financing, are
being amortized using the interest method over the term of the related loan,
and (2) leasing costs, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the related lease.
Accounts Payable - Capital Expenditures
Included in accounts payable are amounts related to the construction of
buildings. Due to the nature of these expenditures, they are reflected in the
statements of cash flows as a financing activity.
Minority Interest
This amount represents the limited partners' interest ("OP Units") of 13.42%
(convertible into 673,547 shares) and 12.84% (convertible into 637,959
shares) in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
F - 11
Revenue Recognition
Base rental income attributable to leases is recorded when due from tenants.
Certain leases provide for additional rents based on tenants' sales volume.
These percentage rents are reflected based on the tenants' fiscal year;
however, such amounts earned by the Company historically have not been
material. In addition, leases for certain tenants contain rent escalations
and/or free rent during the first several months of the lease term; however,
such amounts are not material.
The Company acts as the construction developer on certain properties. Related
development fee income is recognized upon completion of construction.
Operating Cost Reimbursement
Substantially all of the Company's leases contain provisions requiring
tenants to pay as additional rent a proportionate share of operating expenses
such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, insurance, etc. The
related revenue from tenant billings is recognized in the same period the
expense is recorded.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code") and began operating as such on April 22, 1994.
As a result, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes to the extent
that it distributes annually at least 95% of its taxable income to its
shareholders and satisfies certain other requirements defined in the Code.
Accordingly, no provision was made for federal income taxes in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
F - 12
The Company declared dividends per share of $1.84, $1.82, and $1.80 during
the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively; the
dividends have been reflected for federal income tax purposes as follows:
1998 1997 1996
- -----------------------------------------------
Ordinary income $1.32 $1.20 $1.24
Return of capital .52 .62 .56
----- ----- -----
Total $1.84 $1.82 $1.80
===== ===== =====
The aggregate federal income tax basis of Real Estate Investments is
approximately $16.8 million less than the financial statement basis.
Comprehensive Income
On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to
include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130
requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence
as other financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 1998,
comprehensive income for the Company did not differ from net income.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share reflected in the consolidated statements of operations are
presented for all periods in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share". In connection therewith, any conversion of OP Units to common stock
would have no effect on the earnings per share calculation since the
allocation of earnings to an OP Unit is equivalent to earnings allocated to a
share of common stock.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior years' financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with current year's presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
statement, which is effective in fiscal 2000, is not expected to have an
impact on the Company's financial statements.
F - 14
3. Mortgages
Payable
Mortgages payable consisted of the following:
December 31, 1998 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note payable in monthly installments of interest only at 6.875% per annum
until April 1999; beginning May 1999, monthly installments of $249,750
including interest at 7.0% per annum, with the remaining balance then
due November 2005; collateralized by related real estate and tenants'
leases $33,600,000 $33,600,000
Note payable in monthly installments of $62,881 including interest at 7.75%

Other, repaid during 1998 (also see Note 10) -- 9,503,286
----------- -----------
Total $41,299,294 $50,954,026
=========== ===========
Future scheduled annual maturities of mortgages payable for years ending
December 31, are as follows: 1999 - $8,138,507; 2000 - $698,354; 2001 -
$748,838; 2002 - $802,972; 2003 - $861,019 and $30,049,604 thereafter.
4. Construction
Loans
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries have obtained construction financing
totalling approximately $7,300,000, which is available to fund the
development of two retail properties. Quarterly interest payments are made
based on LIBOR. The notes mature on October 16, 2002 and are secured by the
related land and buildings. The Company owed $7,143,836 and $3,844,601 for
these loans at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
F - 15
The Company has also received funding from an unaffiliated third party for
certain of its single tenant retail properties. Borrowings under this
arrangement bear no interest and are required to be repaid within sixty (60)
days after the date the construction has been completed. The advances are
secured by the specific land and buildings being developed. As of December
31, 1998 and 1997, $1,730,490 was outstanding under this arrangement.
5. Notes Payable
The Operating Partnership has entered into a $50 million line-of-credit
agreement which is guaranteed by the Company. The agreement expires on August
7, 2000 and can be extended, at the option of the Company, for an additional
three years. Advances under this credit facility bear interest within a range
of either LIBOR plus 150 basis points to 213 basis points, or the bank's
prime rate less 50 basis points to plus 13 basis points, at the option of the
Company, based on certain factors such as debt to property value and debt
service coverage. The credit facility is used to fund property acquisitions
and development activities, and is secured by specific properties. At
December 31, 1998 and 1997, $35,158,232 and $6,865,459 was outstanding under
this facility, respectively.
In addition, the Company maintains a $5,000,000 line-of-credit agreement with
a bank. Monthly interest payments are required, either at the bank's prime
rate less 50 basis points, or 175 basis points in excess of the one-month
LIBOR rate, at the option of the Company. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, $-0-
and $1,775,557 was outstanding under this agreement, respectively.
6. Dividends and
Distributions
Payable
On December 7, 1998, the Company declared a dividend of $.46 per share for
the quarter ended December 31, 1998; approximately 28 percent of the dividend
represented a return of capital. The holders of OP Units were entitled to an
equal distribution per OP Unit held as of December 31, 1998. The dividends
and distributions payable are recorded as liabilities in the Company's
balance sheet at December 31, 1998. The dividend has been reflected as a
reduction of stockholders' equity and the distribution has been reflected as
a reduction of the limited partners' minority interest. These amounts were
paid on January 7, 1999.
F - 16
7. Minority
Interest
The following summarizes the changes in minority interest since January 1,
1996:
Minority interest at January 1, 1996 $ 6,118,017

Distributions for the year ended December 31, 1998 (1,206,585)
-----------
Minority Interest at December 31, 1998 $ 6,047,843
-----------
8. Issuance of
Common Stock
During May and June 1997, the Company sold 1,653,850 shares of common stock.
The cash proceeds (net of underwriting fees and related issuance costs) to
the Company from the stock issuance sales were approximately $31.9 million,
which was used to reduce outstanding indebtedness.
9. Related Party
Transactions
In August 1998 the Operating Partnership purchased the Mt. Pleasant Shopping
Center. An independent appraisal determined the purchase price of $9,076,000.
Payment consisted of $8,385,000 in debt assumption, with the balance paid
through the issuance of 35,588 OP Units. The sellers are members of the Agree
organization and are existing limited partners in the Operating Partnership.
F - 17
The Company currently manages certain additional properties which are owned
by certain officers and directors of the Company, but are not included in the
consolidated financial statements. Income related to these activities is
reflected as "Management fees and other" in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income.
10. Extraordinary
Item
During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company recognized an extraordinary
loss related to loan prepayment penalties and the write-off of deferred
financing costs for debt that was repaid prior to its scheduled due date.
11. Stock Incentive
Plan
The Company has established a stock incentive plan (the "Plan") under which
29,400 options were granted in April 1994. The options, which have an
exercise price equal to the initial public offering price ($19.50/share), can
be exercised in increments of 25% on each anniversary of the date of the
grant. A total of 29,400 and 22,050 of the options were exercisable at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. No options were exercised during
either 1998 or 1997.
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." However, since no compensation
cost would have been recognized pursuant to SFAS No. 123 under the Plan in
either 1998 or 1997, there is no effect on the Company's
net income for these years.
12. Restricted Stock
As part of the Company's stock incentive plan, restricted common shares are
granted to certain employees. The restricted shares vest in increments of 20%
per year for five years. Plan participants are entitled to receive the
quarterly dividends on their respective restricted shares. The following
table summarizes the restricted shares for the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996:

Compensation Expense Recorded Related to
Restricted Common Shares $ 156,106 $ 113,380 $ 82,873
========= ========= =========
13. Profit-Sharing
Plan
The Company has a discretionary profit-sharing plan whereby it contributes to
the plan such amounts as the Board of Directors of the Company determines.
The participants in the plan cannot make any contributions to the plan.
Contributions to the plan are allocated to the employees based on their
percentage of compensation to the total compensation of all employees for the
plan year. Participants in the plan become fully vested after six years of
service. No contributions were made to the plan in 1998, 1997 or 1996.
14. Rental Income
The Company leases premises in its properties to tenants pursuant to lease
agreements which provide for terms ranging generally from 5 to 25 years. The
majority of leases provide for additional rents based on tenants' sales
volume; however, such amounts earned by Agree historically have not been
material.
As of December 31, 1998, the future minimum revenues for the next five years
from rental property under the terms of all noncancellable tenant leases,
assuming no new or renegotiated leases are executed for such premises, are as
follows (in thousands):
1999 $ 18,885
2000 18,399
2001 17,168
2002 16,072
2003 15,110
Thereafter 153,074
--------
Total $238,708
========
F - 19
Of these future minimum rentals, approximately 33% of the total is
attributable to Kmart Corporation, approximately 31% is attributable to
Borders, Inc. and approximately 11% is attributable to Walgreen Company.
Kmart's principal business is general merchandise retailing through a chain
of discount department stores, Borders is a major operator of book
superstores in the United States and Walgreen operates in the U.S. chain
drugstore industry.
15. Lease
Commitments
The Company has entered into certain land lease agreements for four of its
properties. As of December 31, 1998, approximate future annual lease
commitments under these agreements are as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
- ---------------------------------------
1999 $ 547,860
2000 583,610
2001 586,860
