T REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | ORGANIZATION |
T REIT, Inc. (the Company) was formed in December 1998 in the Commonwealth of Virginia and operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company is in the business of acquiring existing office, industrial, retail and service properties located in several states. As of March 31, 2003, the Company owned four properties, five tenant in common interests and two membership interests in limited liability companies (see Note 3).
Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 (the Registration Statement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company offered for sale to the public up to 10,000,000 shares of its common stock (the Shares), and (collectively the Offering) at an Offering price of $10.00 per Share and up to 700,000 Shares under the Companys Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the DRIP). The Registration Statement was declared effective on February 22, 2000. By May 31, 2002, when the Offering and the DRIP were terminated, the Company had sold 4,720,176 shares of common stock, including 22,100 sold to the Advisor and 69,676 shares sold under the DRIP. Aggregate gross proceeds before Offering costs and selling commissions were approximately $46,395,000. Through March 31, 2003, the Company repurchased 23,876 shares pursuant to its Share Repurchase Plan (See Note 6). As of March 31, 2003, there were 4,696,300 common shares outstanding.
The Company owns all of its interests in properties through its majority-owned subsidiary, T REIT, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (the Operating Partnership), and conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2003, the Company was the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owned substantially all of the equity interests therein, except for 100 incentive non-voting ownership units issued to the Companys Advisor. The incentive units entitle the Advisor to receive certain incentive distributions of operating cash flow after a minimum 8% return on invested capital has been paid to the Companys shareholders (as defined in the Registration Statement). In addition, the Advisor is entitled to incentive distributions from net proceeds from the sale of properties after the Companys shareholders have received distributions equal to their invested capital, as defined, plus an 8% return on such invested capital.
The Company is externally advised by Triple Net Properties, LLC (the Advisor), which is primarily responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and assets of the Company. The Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Advisor, amended effective February 22, 2002 for an additional one-year term was renewed on a month-to-month basis effective February 22, 2003 and is subject to further consideration by the independent members of the Board of Directors (See Note 7).
2. | INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, T REIT, L.P. and the wholly owned subsidiaries of T REIT, L.P. All material intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. All references to the Company include the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.
The information furnished has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are only of a normal recurring

nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Real Estate Investments |
Operating Properties |
Operating properties are held for investment and carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the cost of land and completed buildings and related improvements. Expenditures that increase the service life of properties are capitalized; the cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is generally provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements, ranging primarily from 15 to 39 years. When depreciable property is retired or disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss reflected in operations.
Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the assets carrying amount is greater than the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest, estimated to be generated by those assets. As of March 31, 2003, no indicators of impairment existed and no impairment losses have been recorded.
The Company follows the provisions of EITF 97-11, Accounting for Internal Costs Related to Real Estate Property Acquisitions. Accordingly, the Company does not capitalize acquisition costs incurred in conjunction with the identification and acquisition of properties to be held for operations.
Property Held for Sale |
Property held for sale is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less cost to sell and such property is no longer depreciated. The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Boards Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, on January 1, 2002. SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The primary objectives of SFAS 1144 are to develop one accounting model based on the frame work established in SFAS 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and to address significant implementation issues regarding impairment of long-lived assets held for use. In accordance with SFAS 144, the Company classifies operating properties as property held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:
| management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset; | |
| the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; | |
| an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated; | |
| the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; |
8
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
| the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and | |
| actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. |
The application of SFAS 144 resulted in: (i) the presentation of the net operating results of certain properties held for sale as described below, less allocated interest expense and depreciation, as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented (See Note 3). Interest and depreciation expense was allocated based on specific identification. Implementation of SFAS 144 impacted income statement classification only and had no effect on total results of operations. Properties sold prior to January 1, 2002 are required to be presented as a component of continuing operations.
As of March 31, 2003, two properties were classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2002, one property was classified as held for sale.
Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate |
Investments in unconsolidated real estate are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Disposition of investments accounted for using the equity method are classified within continuing operations in conformity with APB No. 18.
Revenue Recognition |
Real estate property is leased to tenants under leases with terms exceeding one year. Revenues from these leases, which are accounted for as operating leases, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the related term. Cost recoveries from tenants are included in rental income in the period the related costs are accrued.
Allowance for Uncollectible Receivables |
When needed, the Company maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments, which results in a reduction of income. Management determines the adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual tenant receivables considering the tenants financial condition, security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees and current economic conditions. Management has established an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $67,759 at March 31, 2003, to reduce receivables to recoverable amounts.
Stock Option Plans |
The Company follows the disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). For employee compensatory stock options that will eventually vest, compensation expense is recognized during the periods in which the related employee services are rendered. Such expense is generally measured by determining the excess, if any, of the grant date estimated fair market value of the underlying stock over the amount to be paid by the employee in conformity with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Compensatory stock options and similar equity instruments issued to non-employees in exchange for goods or services are accounted for based on the estimated fair market value of (1) the goods or services received or (2) the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. This accounting policy is in conformity with SFAS 123.
9
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Effective with the Offering, the Company authorized and reserved a total of 100,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Independent Director Stock Option Plan and 700,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Officer and Employee Stock Option Plan. Options awarded under these plans are not exercisable until such plans have been approved by a majority of the Companys shareholders. As of March 31, 2003 neither plan has been submitted to shareholders for their approval. Options awarded under these plans will vest when and if such shareholder approval is obtained, provided such approval is two years after the option grant date.
No options were granted or forfeited under either of these plans during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. As of March 31, 2003, stock options for a total of 155,000 shares were authorized under both plans; however, these options are not considered outstanding since the option plans remain subject to shareholder approval.
Qualification as a REIT |
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT in 2000. As of March 31, 2003, the Company meets the compliance tests required to maintain its REIT status.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143) and No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs, and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS 144 supersedes Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including accounting for a segment of a business accounted for as a discontinued operation. SFAS 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 144 resulted in the presentation of discontinued operations in 2002 and all prior periods presented related to property held for sale.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 rescinds three existing pronouncements (relating to the intangible assets of motor carriers and certain debt extinguishments), amends SFAS No. 13 (Accounting for Leases), and makes technical corrections that are not substantive in nature to several other pronouncements. The amendment of SFAS No. 13, which is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, requires sale-leaseback accounting by lessees for certain lease modifications that are economically similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 did not affect the accompanying 2003 financial statements, and is not presently expected to have a significant impact on the Companys future financial statements.
In June, 2002, the FASB approved for issuance SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, SFAS No. 146 is effective for such activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Activities of this type include restructurings (such as relocation of a business and fundamental reorganizations of a business itself), which may give rise to costs such as contract cancellation provisions, employee relocation, and one-time termination costs. SFAS No. 146 prohibits liability recognition based solely on managements intent, and requires that liabilities be measured at estimated fair value. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
10
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. The disclosure requirements of Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which apply to stock compensation plans of all companies, are amended to require certain disclosures about stock-based employee compensation plans in an entitys accounting policy note. Those disclosures include a tabular format of pro forma net income and, if applicable, earnings per share under the fair value method if the intrinsic value method is used in any period presented. Pro forma information in a tabular format is also required in the notes to interim financial information if the intrinsic value method is used in any period presented. Before amendment by Statement 148, Statement 123 required entities changing to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation to account for the change in method prospectively. The Board decided to provide a choice among three transition methods (the prospective method originally required by Statement 123, the modified prospective method, and the retroactive restatement method) for entities voluntarily adopting the fair value method in periods beginning before December 16, 2003. Statement 123s original prospective transition method will not be available to entities changing to the fair value method in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003. The amendments to the disclosure and transition provisions of Statement 123 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The disclosure requirement for interim financial information is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148 in the accompanying financial statements. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect upon the Companys financial statements.
The FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Nos. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Implementation of these provisions of the Interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The disclosure requirements of the Interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ended after December 15, 2002, and have been adopted in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the additional disclosures required have been included.
The FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51. This Interpretation defines a variable interest entity and provides that if a business enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the variable interest entity should be included in consolidated financial statements with those of the business enterprise. Furthermore, the Board indicates that the voting interest approach of ARB No. 51 is not effective in identifying controlling financial interests in entities that are not controllable through voting interest or in which the equity investors do not bear the residual economic risk. This Interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Interpretation applies to public enterprises as of the beginning of the applicable interim or annual period. The implementation of this Interpretation did not have a material effect upon the Companys financial statements.

8. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Master Lease Agreement |
In connection with the sale of the Christie Building in November 2001, the Company agreed as part of the sale transaction, to guarantee the lease payment in the amount $20,000 per month for a period of five years under a master lease agreement. Under this agreement, the Company is obligated to make lease payments to the lessor only in the event the sub-lessee fails to make the lease payments. In addition, the Company is also obligated to pay a pro rata share of lease commissions and tenant improvements in the event the premises are re-leased prior to November 13, 2006. Concurrent with the issuance of the guarantee, the Advisor agreed to indemnify the Company against any future losses under the master lease agreement with the indemnification evidenced by an indemnity agreement dated November 13, 2001. The Christie Building is a single tenant office building. The current tenants lease expired on August 31, 2002 and the tenant vacated the property in October 2002. Accordingly, the Company has accrued $440,000 related to its obligations under the guaranty, of which $120,000 has been paid through March 31, 2003. The Companys accrual assumes a new tenant will occupy the property beginning in the third quarter of 2003 and has been calculated assuming a discount rate of 10% per annum. The Company has no collateral, however it has recourse against the Advisor under the indemnity agreement. At April 3, 2003, the Company has been reimbursed by the Advisor for all amounts paid under the guarantee and expects to be reimbursed by the Advisor in connection with the indemnity agreement for the full amount of its obligation.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Overview
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company appearing elsewhere in this report. Such financial statements have been prepared to reflect the Companys financial position as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, together with the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.
Forward-Looking Statements
Historical results and trends are not necessarily indicative of future operations. Managements statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are 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. Actual results may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of complying with such provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of management, are generally identifiable by use of the words believe, expect, intend, anticipate, estimate, project, prospects, or similar expressions. The Companys ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on the operations and future prospects of the Company include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic conditions and in the real estate market specifically (including those in the local economy of the regions where the Companys properties are located), legislative/regulatory changes (including changes in Federal and/ or state laws governing the taxation of REITs), availability of capital, interest rates, competition, supply and demand for operating properties in the Companys current and proposed market areas, and generally accepted accounting principles applicable to REITs. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on any such statements. Further information concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect the Companys financial results, is included herein and in the Companys other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this report is filed to conform these statements to actual results, unless required by law.
Public Offering of Equity Securities
On February 22, 2000, the Company commenced its initial public offering of up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company commenced its active operations on September 26, 2000 when it completed its first property acquisition. The Company terminated its initial public offering on May 31, 2002 at which time gross proceeds of approximately $46,395,000 had been received from the sale of 4,720,176 shares. Through December 31, 2002, the Company had repurchased 23,876 shares pursuant to its Share Repurchase Plan. No additional shares were repurchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. As a result, 4,696,300 shares were outstanding at March 31, 2003.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company believes that its critical accounting policies are those that require significant judgments and estimates such as those related to revenue recognition and allowance for uncollectible receivables, impairment of real estate assets, deferred assets, and qualification as a REIT. These estimates are made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be
18
Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Uncollectible Receivables |
Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective lease agreements. Differences between rental income recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are credited or charged, as applicable, to rent receivable. The Company maintains, as necessary, an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments which will result in a reduction to income. Management determines the adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual tenant receivables considering the tenants financial condition, security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees and current economic conditions.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets
The Company assesses the impairment of a real estate asset when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value may not be recoverable. Indicators management considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
| significant negative industry or economic trend; | |
| a significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; and | |
| a significant change in the manner in which the asset is used. |
Deferred Assets
Costs incurred for debt financing and property leasing are capitalized as deferred assets. Deferred financing costs include amounts paid to lenders and others to obtain financing. Such costs are amortized over the term of the related loan. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the Companys statements of operations. Deferred leasing costs include leasing commissions that are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related lease. Deferred leasing costs are included in the basis when a property is sold and therefore reduce the gain on sale. Unamortized financing and leasing costs are charged to expense in the event of debt prepayment or early termination of the lease.
Qualification as a REIT
The Company has made an election to be taxed as a REIT in 2000. If the Company was to fail to qualify as a REIT, it would be, among other things, required to provide for federal income taxes on its income and reduce the level of distributions made to its shareholders. Critical estimates include the allocation of cost between personal and real property, and the calculation of earnings and profits for tax purposes, among others.
Real Estate Investments
Through March 31, 2003, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, had purchased interests in 15 real estate properties, including six operating properties, seven undivided tenant in common interest properties and limited liability membership interests in two properties. Through March 31, 2003, the Company had sold two operating properties and two undivided tenant in common interest properties. In addition, two of its operating properties were held for sale at March 31, 2003.

20
Dispositions
On January 13, 2003, the Company sold the Northstar Crossing Shopping Center in Garland, Texas to an unaffiliated third-party for $4,200,000. The Company realized net proceeds of $3,842,584 before repayment of debt associated with the property and a net gain of $23,617. No fees were earned by the Advisor or any affiliate from this sale.
Discontinued Operations
On February 25, 2003, management of the Company approved plans to sell Thousand Oaks Shopping Center and Pahrump Valley Shopping Center and commenced active marketing of the properties. Current and prior net operating income related to these properties is classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Results of Operations
The comparability of the financial information discussed below is limited by acquisitions and dispositions completed during the year ended December 31, 2002 and the quarter ended March 31, 2003. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company purchased 16% and 89.125% tenant in common interests in a 77,582 square foot office/ distribution building and a 105,964 square foot office building, respectively, and also purchased a 38% membership interest in an LLC owning a 60% tenant in common interest in a 166,785 square foot, six-building office park. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company purchased a 48.50% tenant in common interest in a 131,527 square foot office building. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company purchased a 68,400 square foot flex/service center and a 25% undivided tenant in common interest in a 72,711 square foot office building and sold 26% and 16.5% undivided tenant in common interests in two shopping centers containing 21,455 square feet and 126,322 square feet, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company purchased a 333,210 square foot regional mall and a 38% limited liability company interest in an LLC owning approximately 27% of a 525,000 square foot office building and sold a 67,560 square foot shopping center. For more information on the Companys acquisitions and dispositions, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Comparability is also impacted due to the presentation of two properties, Thousand Oaks Shopping Center and Pahrump Valley Shopping Center for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and the Northstar Shopping Center for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as discontinued operations.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002 |
As previously noted, comparability of the financial information discussed below, including rental income, rental expenses, mortgage interest, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses and other items, is materially impacted by the property acquisitions and dispositions during the year ended December 31, 2002 and the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
The following discussion excludes the impact of the reclassification of the previously mentioned shopping centers as discontinued operations, except as noted.
Rental Income. Rental income consists of straight-line monthly base rent, percentage rental income, if applicable, due pursuant to tenant leases and property operating expenses recovered from tenants. Rental income increased to $492,633 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 due to the University Heights and Gateway Mall acquisitions.
Interest Income. Interest income consists of interest earned from short-term money market investments and loans that are held by the Company. Interest income decreased by $85,176 to $24,687 for the quarter
21
Rental Expenses. Rental expenses consist of the costs of owning and maintaining the Companys properties including primarily property management fees, real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance to the exterior of the buildings and the parking lots. These expenses $164,133 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were attributable to the University Heights and Gateway Mall properties.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of third party legal and accounting fees and the cost of computerized information services and related office expenses required to maintain the Companys accounting and investor records. These expenses increased $5,338 to $120,254 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to $114,916 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Management anticipates lower legal and accounting expenses during the remainder of 2003 relative to 2002 due to the end of the Companys offering, however, this reduction will be partially offset by increased general and administrative expenses related to expanded audit and SEC compliance requirements mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense of $68,217 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was attributable to the University Heights and Gateway Mall properties.
Interest Expense. Interest expense consists of mortgage interest paid on the Companys properties and the amortization of deferred financing fees. Interest expense of $212,972 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was due to the University Heights and Gateway Mall properties.
Equity in Net Earnings of Unconsolidated Real Estate. The Companys equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate increased $480,168 to $558,161 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to $77,993 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The majority of the increase was due to increased equity in the net earnings of City Center West A totaling approximately $307,000 relative to the prior period. In addition, the Companys limited liability company membership interests in Pacific Corporate Park and Congress Center contributed to the remaining increase in 2003 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
Sales of Real Estate. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company realized total net gain on the sale of the Northstar Shopping Center of $23,617. There were no sales of real estate operating properties or investments in unconsolidated real estate during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
Income From Discontinued Operations Property Held For Sale. Income from discontinued operations represents the net operating results of two properties held for sale for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and three properties for the three months ended March 31, 2002, including interest expense and depreciation related to these properties. Revenues decreased by $162,975 to $1,070,318 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to $1,233,293 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 primarily as a result of the sale of the Northstar Shopping Center during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in revenues was offset by a decrease in depreciation expense and rental expenses resulting from the sale of Northstar Shopping Center during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Net Income. Net income was $786,907 or $0.17 per share basic and diluted for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to a net income of $330,824 or $0.12 per share basic and diluted for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources |
Capital Resources |
At March 31, 2003, the Company had $590,620 of cash and cash equivalents as compared to $6,129,468 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2002 to meet its immediate short-term liquidity requirements. Management expects that future short-term liquidity requirements will be financed by net cash flow from operations, existing working capital and proceeds from the sale of properties. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties and investments in unconsolidated real estate are added to the
22
The Company anticipates that adequate cash will be generated from operations to fund its operating and administrative expenses, continuing debt service obligation and the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company operates as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to income taxes. To maintain its REIT status, the Company is required to distribute annually as dividends at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined by the Code, to its shareholders, among other requirements. The Company expects to continue to use its cash flow from operating activities to pay dividends to shareholders and to support the operating activities of the Company. The Company maintains amounts accumulated for the payment of dividends in interest-bearing money market accounts.
Dividends paid for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were $964,387 compared to $577,666 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The Company currently pays cash dividends monthly at an annual rate of $0.825 per share. For the quarter ended March 31, 2003 approximately 24% of dividends declared and paid represented a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. Dividends are determined by the Companys Board of Directors and are dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of funds available for distribution, the Companys financial condition, any decision by the Board of Directors to reinvest funds rather than to distribute the funds, the Companys capital expenditures, the annual distribution required to maintain REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities |
Net cash provided by operating activities was $115,088 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,053,477 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities relative to the prior period was primarily due to a $620,055 increase in other assets resulting from tenant improvement and other lender-required reserves totaling approximately $403,000 associated with the Gateway Mall and University Heights properties. In addition, the Companys purchase of several undivided tenant in common interests in properties resulted in a net $145,780 increase in the adjustment for the Companys equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate to $223,773 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $77,993 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Partially offsetting these reductions in cash provided by operating activities was the $456,083 increase in the Companys net income to $786,907 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $330,824 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 resulting primarily from the increased size and performance of its real estate portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Management expects cash flows from operating activities to increase due to the acquisitions of Gateway Mall and the limited liability company membership interest in Congress Center completed during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and the acquisition of additional properties and investments in unconsolidated real estate during the remainder of the year as the Company strategically redeploys its capital. Management is currently considering other potential opportunities to reinvest proceeds from real estate dispositions. The decision to acquire one or more properties or investments in unconsolidated real estate will generally depend upon (i) receipt of a satisfactory environmental survey and property appraisal, (ii) an absence of any material adverse change relating to the property, its tenants, or local economic conditions, and (iii) adequate financing. There is no assurance that any of these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, that the Company will purchase any additional properties or make any further investments in unconsolidated real estate.
Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities |
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $6,738,025 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $10,064,749 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The Company invested $13,936,857 in real estate investments ($5,025,000 for investments in unconsolidated real estate operating properties and
23
At March 31, 2003, the Company does not have any material planned capital expenditures resulting from any known demand based on existing trends. However, management may conclude that expenditures to improve properties are necessary and/or desirable.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities |
Cash provided by financing activities amounted to $1,084,089 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $5,986,573 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The primary reason for the decline was the end of the Companys Offering on May 31, 2002. In comparison, during the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company raised $6,329,532 through its Offering (net of offering costs). Cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 increased by $5,000,000 as a result of borrowings related to the acquisition of Gateway Mall compared to $298,707 borrowed under notes payable for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The major offsetting use of cash in connection with financing activities included $2,951,524 in principal payments on notes payable, primarily related to the repayment of the mortgage loan on Northstar Shopping Center upon the sale of the property. In addition, the Company paid $964,387 in cash dividends to shareholders during the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $577,666 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase in dividends paid was the result of additional shares issued after the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
The Company intends to acquire additional properties and make additional investments in unconsolidated real estate and may seek to fund these acquisitions through proceeds received from a combination of subsequent equity offerings, debt financings or asset dispositions.
Management believes that, to the extent, if any, that the Company is not successful in generating cash flow from operations sufficient to meet its cash flow requirements, the Company can secure a line of credit to finance any cash flow deficits. Additionally, the Companys current cash position of $590,620 at March 31, 2003 could be used to compensate for cash flow deficits, if any.
Subsequent Events |
On April 2, 2003, the Company entered into a letter of intent with an unaffiliated third-party to sell Thousand Oaks Shopping Center for $15,880,000. The Company expects to enter into an agreement to sell the property in the second quarter of 2003.
On April 22, 2003, the Company entered into a letter of intent with an unaffiliated third-party to sell Pahrump Valley Shopping Center for $19,000,000. The Company expects to enter into an agreement to sell the property in the second quarter of 2003.
Funds From Operations |
Due to the unique operating characteristics of certain real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), an industry trade group, has promulgated a standard known as funds from operations (FFO) which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO equals net income or loss determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) less extraordinary, unusual and non-recurring items, excluding gains/losses from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest.
The Company computes FFO in accordance with the April 2002 White Paper on Funds From Operations, and National Policy Bulletin published by NAREIT. The Company generally considers FFO
24
As stated in its April 5, 2002 National Policy Bulletin (the Bulletin), NAREIT believes that since SFAS No. 144 does not change bottom-line net income, it should not change bottom-line FFO. Thus, the Bulletin states that relevant financial items from income-producing properties whether currently in use, held for sale, sold or otherwise transferred should be included in FFO for both current and prior periods.
The Companys FFO reporting complies with NAREITs policy described in the preceding paragraph.
As noted in Funds From Operations above, management considers FFO to be one measure of the performance of a REIT. FFO were $953,396 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to FFO of $541,354 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The Companys FFO were calculated according to the table below:

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its long-term debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures, and finance expansion of the Companys operations and real estate portfolio. In managing the Companys interest rate risk, managements objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows, and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the Company borrows primarily at interest rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable interest rates to fixed rates. In the future, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a given financial instrument. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
The table below presents the principal amounts and weighted average interest rates of fixed and variable interest rate debt by year of scheduled maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

The estimated fair value of the Companys variable-rate debt approximates its March 31, 2003 carrying amount. Variable-rate debt secured by the Companys properties bears interest at approximately 5.89% as of March 31, 2003.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2003. Based on this evaluation process, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Since that evaluation process was completed, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls.
