Organization

Winthrop
Realty Trust (“Winthrop”) is an unincorporated association in the form of a
business trust organized in Ohio under a Declaration of Trust dated August 1,
1961, as amended and restated on May 21, 2009, which has as its stated principal
business activity the ownership and management of, and lending to, real property
and real estate related assets.
Winthrop
conducts its business through WRT Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(the “Operating Partnership”). Winthrop is the sole general partner of, and owns
directly and indirectly, 100% of the limited partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership. All references to the “Trust” refer to
Winthrop and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating
Partnership.
The Trust
is engaged in the business of owning real property and real estate related
assets which it categorizes into three specific areas: (i) direct or
indirect ownership of operating properties (“operating properties”); (ii)
origination and acquisition of loans and debt securities secured directly or

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements, although management believes that the disclosures presented herein
are adequate to make the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements not misleading. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Trust’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the
SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for fair statements have been included, and all such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
the full year.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements represent the
consolidated results of Winthrop, its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, WRT
TRS Management Corp., the Operating Partnership, wholly-owned subsidiaries and
certain partially-owned entities in which the Operating Partnership owns either
(i) a controlling interest or (ii) is the primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity (“VIE”). All significant intercompany amounts have
been eliminated. The Trust accounts for its investments in companies in
which it has the ability to significantly influence, but does not have a
controlling interest, by using the equity method of accounting.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current
year’s presentation. Discontinued operations for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 include the Trust’s property in Athens,
Georgia.

Earnings Per
Share
The Trust
determines basic earnings per share on the weighted average number of Common
Shares of Beneficial Interest (“Common Shares”) outstanding during the period
and reflects the impact of participating securities. The holders of
the Series B-1 Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares (“Series B-1
Preferred Shares”) and the Series C Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Shares (“Series C Preferred Shares”) are entitled to receive cumulative
preferential dividends on a quarterly basis equal to the greater of (i) $0.40625
per share quarterly (6.5% of the liquidation preference on an annualized basis)
or (ii) cash dividends payable on the number of Common Shares into which the
Series B-1 Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares (assuming that the
conversion price of the Series C Preferred Shares equals the conversion price
for the Series B-1 Preferred Shares) are convertible. The Trust
computes diluted earnings per share based on the weighted average number of
Common Shares outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average effect
from all outstanding potentially dilutive instruments.
The Trust
has calculated earnings per share in accordance with relevant accounting
guidance for participating securities and the two class method. The
reconciliation of earnings attributable to Common Shares outstanding for the
basic and diluted earnings per share calculation is as follows (in thousands,

Recently Issued Accounting
Standards
In
January 2010 the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure
requirements for fair value measurements. This amendment requires more robust
disclosures of valuation techniques and inputs into fair value measurements and
requires amounts and reasons for significant transfers between levels in the
fair value hierarchy to be reported along with disclosure of the company’s
policy for recognizing such transfers. This amendment is effective for the Trust
beginning on January 1, 2010, except for Level 3 sensitivity disclosures, which
are effective for the Trust beginning in fiscal 2011. The Trust has adopted this
standard which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
January 2010 the FASB issued an amendment to accounting and disclosure
requirements on stock dividends and stock splits. This update addresses
accounting for a dividend payment that allows shareholders to elect to receive
cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that
shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate. The new guidance requires
classifying the stock portion of a dividend payment as a new issuance of stock
and added to earnings per share on a prospective basis and not treated as a
stock dividend. The Trust has adopted this standard which did not have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2009 the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure
requirements for the consolidation of VIEs. The updated guidance requires a
company to disclose significant judgments and assumptions used to determine
whether or not to consolidate a VIE. It also amends the guidance governing
the determination of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and
is therefore required to consolidate an entity by using a qualitative analysis
rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include,
among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities
of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance
and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of
the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also
requires reassessments on a continuous basis of whether a company is the primary
beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, consolidation guidance required
reconsideration of whether a company was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only
when specific events had occurred. The Trust has adopted this standard
which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2009 the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements
for transfers of financial assets. The intent of the original accounting
guidance on this topic was to preclude sale accounting for transfers of
financial assets in which the transferor has certain types of continuing
involvement with the transferred assets or portions thereof. The new guidance
requires greater transparency and clarifies how a transferor’s continuing
involvement impacts whether control over a financial asset has been surrendered
and amends other existing guidance relating to the derecognition of certain
financial assets and eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose
entity. The Trust has adopted this standard which did not have a material impact
on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair
Value Measurement
|
Cash equivalents, derivative financial
instruments, available for sale securities and securities carried at fair value
are reported at fair value. The accounting standards emphasize that
fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.
Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the applicable asset
or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair
value measurements, the standards establish a fair value hierarchy that
distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data
obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs
that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting
entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable
inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
10
WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2010
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Level 1
inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are
inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include
quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as
inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices,
such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are
observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs
for the asset or liability which are typically based on an entity’s own
assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances
where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from
different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The Trust’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair
value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and takes into
consideration factors specific to the asset or liability.
Level 1
securities include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and
exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair
values are estimated by using pricing models or quoted prices of securities with
similar characteristics, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of
the valuation hierarchy. Examples of such instruments include certain
derivative financial instruments. In cases where there is limited activity or
less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified
within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities classified within Level 3
include, for example, residual interests in securitizations and other less
liquid securities.
In
October 2008 the Trust adopted an amendment to the guidance for fair value
measurements which provides clarification that determination of fair value in an
inactive market depends on facts and circumstances and may require the use of
significant judgment to determine whether certain individual transactions are
forced liquidations or distressed sales. In cases where the volume and level of
trading activity for an asset has declined substantially, the available prices
vary significantly over time or among market participants, or the prices are not
current, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require material
adjustment. In addition, the amended guidance also clarifies that broker or
pricing service quotes may be appropriate inputs when measuring fair value, but
are not necessarily determinative if an active market does not exist for the
financial asset. Regardless of the valuation techniques used, the accounting
rules require that an entity takes into consideration appropriate risk
adjustments that market participants would make for nonperformance and liquidity
risks. The Trust has always included nonperformance and liquidity risks in its
analysis of loans and collateral underlying its securities and the adoption of
this new guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
The
following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments
measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such
instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Recurring
Measurements
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Trust’s cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair
value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The types of
instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets
include most U.S. government treasury bills with original maturities of less
than 90 days and money market securities acquired through overnight
sweeps.
Available
for Sale Securities
Where
quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified
within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. At March 31, 2010 all of the Trust’s
available for sale securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation
hierarchy.

Securities
Carried at Fair Value
At March
31, 2010 all of the Trust’s securities carried at fair value are classified
within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loan
Securities Carried at Fair Value
The Trust
uses a third party pricing model to establish values for the loan securities in
its portfolio. The Trust also analyzes the performance of the loans
and collateral underlying the securities, the estimated value of the collateral
supporting such loans and considers the impact of local, industry and broader
economic trends and factors. Significant judgment is utilized in the
ultimate determination of fair value. This valuation methodology has
been characterized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The Trust
uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of
these instruments is determined using both quantitative and qualitative
valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected
cash flows of each derivative as well as potential credit risks with the swap
counterparty. The analysis considers the contractual terms of the derivatives,
including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs,
including interest rate curves, and implied volatilities to the extent
available. The fair value of interest rate swaps are determined using
the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash
receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or
receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an estimate of
future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest
rate curves.
To comply
with the accounting provisions of fair value measurements, the Trust utilizes
credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own
nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the
fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts
for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Trust considers the impact of netting
as well as any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings,
thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.
Although
the Trust has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its
derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation
adjustments associated with its derivative utilize Level 3 inputs, such as
estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by
the Trust and its counterparty. However, as of March 31, 2010, the
Trust assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation
adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and has
determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not
significant. As a result, the Trust has determined that the
derivative valuation in its entirety should be classified in Level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy.
Impaired
Loans
All of
the Trust’s loans are collateral dependent and are evaluated for impairment by
comparing the fair value of the underlying collateral to the carrying value of
each loan. Due to the unique nature of each individual property
collateralizing the Trust’s loans, the Trust uses a combination of the income
approach through internally developed valuation models and an evaluation of any
recent transactions to estimate the fair value of the
collateral. This approach requires the Trust to make significant
judgments with respect to discount rates and the timing and amounts of estimated
future cash flows that are considered Level 3 inputs in accordance with the
guidance. These cash flows include capital expenditures, operating
costs and sale prices.
The table
below presents the Trust’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis as of March 31, 2010, according to the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in

Fair
Value Option
The
current accounting guidance for fair value measurement provides a fair value
option election that allows companies to irrevocably elect fair value as the
measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. Changes in
fair value for assets and liabilities for which the election is made will be
recognized in earnings on a quarterly basis based on the then market price
regardless of whether such assets or liabilities have been disposed of at such
time. The fair value option guidance permits the fair value option
election to be made on an instrument by instrument basis when it is initially
recorded or upon an event that gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that
asset or liability. The Trust elected the fair value option for all
securities acquired subsequent to September 30, 2008.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, the Trust recognized a net unrealized gain of
$1,927,000, and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Trust recognized
a net unrealized loss of $11,148,000 as a result of the change in fair value of
the securities for which the fair value option was elected, which is recorded as
an unrealized gain or loss in the Trust’s statement of
operations. Income related to securities carried at fair value is
recorded as interest and dividend income.

During
the three months ended March 31, 2010 the Trust sold debentures acquired for
$1,413,000 and received net proceeds of approximately $2,078,000. In
addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Trust sold common
shares acquired for $7,908,000 and received net proceeds of approximately
$9,329,000. The Trust recognized a net gain on the sale of these
securities of approximately $695,000 exclusive of any interest or dividends
earned.
Real Estate Loan
Disposition
On
February 5, 2010, the Trust restructured its Siete Square loan into a $3,000,000
Sub-Participation A Note and a $4,219,000 Sub-Participation B
Note. Pursuant to the option granted to Concord Debt Holdings LLC
(“Concord”) at the time of the Trust’s acquisition of the Siete Square loan, the
Trust sold the Sub-Participation A Note at par to Concord Real Estate CDO
2006-1, Ltd. (“CDO-1”), on the same date.
Financing
In March
2010 the Trust obtained a two-year extension of a $9,300,000 mortgage loan on
the River City property. The maturity date was extended to April 28, 2012 and
the terms of the extension require monthly payments of interest only at a fixed
rate of 6% through March 2011, increasing to 6.25% through maturity. The
extension was subject to a $200,000 principal payment which was made in March
2010 and requires an additional $200,000 principal payment on March 28,
2011.
Conversion of Preferred
Shares
In March
2010 an investor converted 400,000 Series C Preferred Shares into 714,400 Common
Shares resulting in a decrease in the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares to
144,000. The conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares resulted in a transfer
to common equity. There was no gain or loss recognized from the
conversion.

Loans
Receivable
|
All of
the Trust’s loans identified as being impaired are collateral dependent loans
and are evaluated for impairment by comparing (i) the fair value of the
underlying collateral less costs to sell with (ii) the carrying value of each
loan. Due to the unique nature of each individual property
collateralizing the Trust’s loans, the Trust uses the income approach through
internally developed valuation models to estimate the fair value of the
collateral. This approach requires the Trust to make significant
judgments with respect to discount rates and the timing and amounts of estimated
future cash flows which are considered Level 3 inputs in accordance with the
accounting guidance of fair value measurements.

The
Trust has determined that these loan receivables were deemed to be
variable interests in VIEs primarily based on the fact that the underlying
entities do not have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to
finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support. The Trust does not have the power to direct the
activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s
economic performance nor does it have the obligation to absorb the losses
or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be
significant to the
VIE.

Realty
On July
1, 2009, the Trust restructured certain of its existing investments with Marc
Realty and reclassified 12 investments from preferred equity investments to
equity investments. In addition, any tenant improvement and capital
expenditure loans to these properties were reclassified from loans receivable to
equity investments.
The
restructuring of each of the Marc Realty investments was considered to be a
reconsideration event under FASB’s consolidation guidance due to the material
change in the agreements and the exchange of consideration between Marc Realty
and the Trust. As a result of the reconsideration, the Marc Realty equity
investments were deemed to be variable interests in VIEs primarily based on the
fact that the underlying entities do not have sufficient equity at risk to
permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
financial support. As a result of the existence of certain provisions in
the operating agreements identifying the Trust and Marc Realty as related
parties, the Trust determined that Marc Realty, as the primary decision maker
and manager of the operating properties, is considered to be most closely
aligned with the business and is the primary beneficiary of the
VIEs.

WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2010
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Although
the legal structure of the investments with Marc Realty is as loans, the
characteristics of both the mezzanine loans and the tenant improvement and
capital expenditure loans indicate that equity method accounting is most
appropriate. The Trust is entitled to residual proceeds from capital
transactions and net operating cash flows, both of which are typical of an
equity investment. The Trust's level of participation also supports
venture accounting treatment. There are also provisions in the
agreements for future funding of additional tenant improvement and capital
expenditure loans for which both parties will fund in accordance with their
effective equity percentages. The additional funding will be used to
fund either capital expenditures or operating losses, as necessary, which can be
viewed akin to capital contributions.
As a
result, effective with the third quarter of 2009, the investments with Marc
Realty are deemed to be equity investments for which the Trust recognizes its
pro-rata share of income or loss on 12 separate equity investments. The Trust
recorded net income from the 12 equity investments of $76,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2010. Additionally, the Trust received cash
distributions of $486,000 from the investments during the three months ended
March 31, 2010.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Lex-Win Concord LLC –
“Concord”
At June
30, 2009, the Trust wrote down its investment in Concord to zero and recognized
an impairment loss of $31,670,000 primarily as a result of the fair
value of its share of Concord’s net asset value being less than
zero.
Concord
is in violation of certain debt covenants to its lenders for the period ended
March 31, 2010 as a result of the continued deterioration of the value of its
assets and cumulative operating losses as indicated above. Concord’s debt is
non-recourse to the Trust and Concord’s lenders’ sole recourse with respect to
defaults is limited to the value of Concord’s assets collateralized by the debt.
The lenders do not have recourse against the Trust’s assets.
On May
22, 2009, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc.
(“Inland”) filed a legal action against Concord generally seeking changes to the
organization documents, declarations that Inland is not required to make any
additional capital contributions and that Inland should not be required to
satisfy the May 11, 2009 capital call made by Concord in the amount of
$24,000,000. The Trust believes that Inland’s claims are without
merit. Concord filed counterclaims against Inland which state, in
general, that Inland is in material breach of the their agreements with Concord
and Concord will seek to recover all losses incurred by it as a result of such
breach.
On
December 21, 2009, the applicable parties and certain of their affiliates
entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the action which would provide
for, among other things, no obligation on any of the parties to make additional
capital contributions to Concord, the allocation of distributions equally among
Inland, Lexington, and the Trust and the formation of a new entity to be owned
by subsidiaries of Inland, Lexington and the Trust which, under certain
circumstances, would contribute assets to CDO-1. The implementation
of the settlement agreement is conditioned on certain events including the
ability of certain CDO-1 bonds held by Concord Debt Funding Trust, a subsidiary
of Concord, to be cancelled.
CDO-1 has
brought an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking declaratory relief
that the bonds held by Concord Debt Funding Trust may be cancelled and no longer
remain outstanding. If the bonds remain outstanding obligations,
CDO-1 will not satisfy certain of its par value tests resulting in interest
payments and distributions on certain of the CDO-1 bonds being used instead to
redeem the most senior class of CDO-1 bonds, thereby reducing the cash flow to
Concord Debt Funding Trust from CDO-1. The
parties in the action brought cross summary judgment motions which were heard on
April 21, 2010. It is anticipated that a ruling will be received from the court
during the second quarter.

The

The
Trust entered into an interest rate swap agreement in the notional amount
of $23,000, effectively converting the floating interest rate to a fixed
rate of 2.8% through June 2010.

The fair
value of the Trust’s mortgage loans payable are less than their current carrying
amounts by $20,926,000 at March 31, 2010 and $25,704,000 at December 31,
2009.

Revolving
Line of Credit
|
The Trust
has a line of credit with KeyBank pursuant to which the Trust can borrow on a
revolving basis up to $35,000,000. The revolving credit line matures
December 16, 2010 with the option of the Trust to extend the term for an
additional year. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear
interest at LIBOR plus 3.0%. To the extent the Trust maintains cash
balances at KeyBank in excess of a certain threshold, the interest rate is
reduced to LIBOR plus 2.25%.
The
revolving line of credit requires the Trust to maintain (i) a minimum
consolidated debt service coverage ratio, (ii) a maximum leverage ratio, (iii)
liquid assets of $17,500,000 and (iv) a minimum net
worth. Additionally, the Trust is limited to payment of dividends not
to exceed 100% of adjusted earnings on a trailing 12-month basis, as
defined, except to the extent necessary to maintain its tax status as
a REIT. The revolving credit line is collateralized by substantially
all of the Trust’s assets. The revolving credit line requires monthly
payments of interest only. To the extent that the amounts outstanding
under the facility are in excess of the borrowing base (as calculated), the
Trust is required to make a principal payment to reduce such excess. The Trust
may prepay from time to time without premium or penalty and re-borrow amounts
prepaid.

At March
31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were no amounts outstanding under the
facility. The Trust is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused
portion of the line, which amounted to approximately $22,000 for each of the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Derivative
Financial Instruments
|
The Trust
has exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. The Trust
seeks to limit its risk to interest rate fluctuations through match financing on
its assets as well as through hedging transactions. Specifically, the
Trust enters into derivative financial instruments.
The
Trust’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to
interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate
movements. To accomplish this objective, the Trust primarily uses
interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management
strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve
the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the
Trust making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without
exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The
effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap designated
and that qualifies as a cash flow hedge is recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the
period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects
earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the
interest rate swap was used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with
existing variable-rate debt. The Trust also assesses and documents,
both at the hedging instruments inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the
derivative instrument is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the
cash flows attributable to the hedged item. The Trust has recorded
changes in fair value related to the effective portion of its interest rate swap
contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges totaling $40,000 and
$176,000 of increased interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively.

In
connection with the KeyBank Loan extension, the Trust was required to
provide interest rate protection through the maturity of the extension
(June 30, 2010). The Trust obtained an interest rate swap with
a $23,000 notional amount that will effectively convert the interest rate
on the KeyBank Loan from a floating rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% to a fixed
rate of 2.8%.

Discontinued
Operations
|
In
November 2009 the tenant at the Trust’s Athens, Georgia retail property notified
the Trust that it was exercising its right to purchase the property at the
expiration of the current lease term. In accordance with the lease,
the purchase price will be equal to the fair market value of the property at the
time of sale. Both the Trust and the tenant have engaged independent
third parties to determine the fair market value of the property. The
Trust anticipates that the sale will be consummated on or before October 31,
2010, the current lease expiration date.
In August
2009 the First District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, appointed a receiver
to operate and manage the Trust’s apartment complex in Kansas City, Kansas
commonly referred to as Creekwood Apartments. In October 2009 a
notice of foreclosure was issued on behalf of the first mortgage
holder. The property was foreclosed in December 2009.

Commitment
and Contingencies
|
The Trust
is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including
disputes with tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell
properties. Given the nature of the Trust’s business activities,
these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its
business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted
because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its
adversarial nature, and the jury system. The Trust does not expect
that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions
will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.
During
the first quarter of 2010, the Trust exercised its option to acquire the land
underlying six of the properties currently ground leased by the Trust and which
are leased to The Kroger Co. The consummation of the acquisition of the
six land parcels is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2010 at an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $4,209,000.

Business
Segments
|
FASB
guidance on segment reporting establishes standards for the way that public
business enterprises report information about operating segments in financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected financial
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders.
Based on
the Trust’s method of internal reporting, management determined that it has
three operating segments: (i) the ownership
of operating properties; (ii) the origination and acquisition of loans and debt
securities secured directly or indirectly by commercial and multi-family real
property – collectively, loan assets; and (iii) the ownership of equity and debt
securities in other REITs – REIT securities. The accounting policies
of the segments are identical to those described in Note 2.
The
operating properties segment includes all of the Trust’s wholly and partially
owned operating properties. Prior to July 1, 2009, the loan assets
segment includes all of the Trust’s activities related to real estate loans,
which consisted primarily of the Trust’s investment in Lex-Win Concord LLC and
its tenant improvement and capital expenditure loans to properties in the Marc
Realty portfolio. As of July 1, 2009, in conjunction with the
restructuring of its preferred equity investment in Marc Realty, the Trust’s
preferred equity investments and tenant improvement and capital expenditure
loans in the Marc Realty portfolio are now classified as equity investments and
are included in the operating properties segment. The REIT securities
segment includes all of the Trust’s activities related to the ownership of
securities in other publicly traded real estate companies. In
addition to its three business segments, the Trust reports non-segment specific
income and expense under corporate income (expense).
The
following table summarizes the Trust’s assets by business segment for the

Variable
Interest Entities
|
Consolidated Variable
Interest Entities
The lease
agreement executed on the Andover, Massachusetts property gives the tenant an
option to purchase the building for a fixed price of $10,500,000. The option is
exercisable at the tenant's discretion at any point during the lease
term. As a result of the fixed price purchase option contained in
this lease agreement, the Trust has determined that its Andover, Massachusetts
property is a variable interest entity for which the Trust is the primary
beneficiary since it has the power to direct activities that most significantly
impact the economics of the property.
The
carrying amounts of the Trust's Andover property include building of $4,774,000,
lease intangibles of $1,598,000 and mortgage debt of $6,233,000. Prior to the
execution of the lease agreement, the Andover property was not considered a
VIE but it has been consolidated since its acquisition. For this
reason, no gain or loss has been recognized in connection with the Trust's
determination that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
Variable Interest Entities
Not Consolidated
Equity
method investments
Lex-Win Concord LLC – The
Trust has a 50% equity interest in Lex-Win Concord LLC (“Lex-Win”). The Trust
has determined that Lex-Win is a VIE because the equity investment at risk is
not sufficient for Lex-Win to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support.
Lexington
Realty Trust and the Trust, two of the variable interest holders, hold identical
50%/50% membership interests. By design and in practice, they share
equally in the economics and the decision-making. Further, Lexington and the
Trust, which are otherwise unrelated parties, each have 50% of the voting rights
of the equity of Lex-Win and each represents 50% of the boards and committees
making decisions with respect to the entity. An affiliate of FUR advisors is
responsible for day-to-day administration and operations of Lex-Win, decisions
that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance are jointly
decided through their voting interests and equal board/committee representation.
Lexington and the Trust are deemed to have shared power, such that neither party
is considered to have the power to direct the activities of the
VIE. In addition, there is no principal agency relationship through
transfer restrictions that would indicate a primary beneficiary exists as noted
above.
At March
31, 2010, the carrying value of the Trust’s investment in Lex-Win is
zero. The Trust does not have the current intent to provide financial or
other support to Lex-Win and the obligations of Lex-Win are non-recourse to the
Trust. The Trust has always accounted for its investment in Lex-Win as an equity
method investment.
Marc Realty Equity Investment
– The Trust has concluded that the 12 Marc Realty equity investments are
variable interests in variable interest entities. This assessment is
primarily based on the fact that the underlying entities do not have sufficient
equity at risk to permit them to finance their activities without additional
subordinated financial support.
While the
Trust maintains certain protective rights under the terms of the agreements
governing the Marc Realty investments, the power to direct the activities that
most significantly impact the economics of the Marc Realty investments is vested
in Marc Realty as the managing member. As such, management has
concluded that the Trust is not the primary beneficiary of these Marc Realty
investments. The Trust's investment in the Marc Realty equity
investments at March 31, 2010 was $58,070,000.
Loans
receivable and loan securities
The Trust
has reviewed its loans receivable and loan securities and certain of these
assets have been identified as variable interests in a VIE because the equity
investment at risk is not considered sufficient for the entity to finance its
activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Trust
does not, however, currently have the power to direct the activities of the
ventures collateralizing its loans receivable and loan
securities. For this reason, management believes that it does not
control, nor is it the primary beneficiary of these ventures. Accordingly, the
Trust accounts for these investments under the guidance for loans and real
estate debt investments.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
Certain
statements contained
herein constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Our future results, financial condition and business may
differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking
statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words
such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,”
“plans,” “would,” “may” or similar expressions in this quarterly report on Form
10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous
assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Many of the factors that will
determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict.
Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2009 under “Forward Looking Statements” and “Item IA - Risk Factors,” as
well as our other filings with the SEC. For these statements, we claim the
protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We expressly disclaim
any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should
use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on
information, judgments and estimates at the time they are made, to anticipate
future results or trends.
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of operations include
a discussion of our unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the three
months ended March 31, 2010. These unaudited financial statements are prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Overview
We are a
real estate investment trust engaged in the business of owning and managing real
property and real estate related assets. Our business objective is to maximize
long-term shareholder value through a total return value approach to real estate
investing. As a result of our emphasis on total return, while we seek
to achieve a stable, predictable dividend for our shareholders, we do not select
or manage our investments for short-term dividend growth, but rather towards
achieving overall superior total return. We believe this approach
will ultimately result in long term increased share value.
We
operate in three strategic business segments: (i) operating properties; (ii)
loan assets; and (iii) REIT equity and debt securities. We acquire assets
through direct ownership as well as through strategic alliances and
ventures. Our primary sources of income are: rental income and tenant
recoveries from leases of our operating properties; interest income and discount
accretion from our loan assets; and interest and dividend income and
appreciation from our investments in REIT securities.
Economic
Conditions
There is
an obvious contradiction between reports of upside improvement in the economy
and real time economic data relating to commercial real estate. While
we are optimistic and see prospects in the current market, we do not expect real
estate fundamentals to materially improve this year. We believe that
capitalization rates will ultimately revert back to historic levels and real
estate pricing will trend downward more accurately reflecting its current and
near term operating fundamentals. We expect that excessive leverage, reduced
liquidity and a reappraisal of value by institutional lenders will create
ongoing investment opportunity not presented by the current lender policies.
Consequently, we intend to continue to be patient and invest prudently in 2010
and pursue opportunities when we see them.

Debt
Maturities
At March
31, 2010, our balance sheet contains liquid assets consisting
of cash and cash equivalents, securities carried at fair value and available for
sale securities aggregating $122,329,000. During 2010 we have
no debt maturing other than the loan which is collateralized by 14 properties
and which we have the right to extend for one year. In April 2010, we
notified the lender of our intent to exercise our one-year option to extend the
loan through June 2011.
We
continually evaluate our debt maturities and, based on our current assessment,
we believe there are viable financing and refinancing alternatives that will not
materially adversely impact our liquidity or our expected financial
results.
Financing Arrangement
Activities
Consolidated Operating Properties
– In March 2010 we obtained a two year extension of a $9,300,000 mortgage
loan on our River City property. The maturity date was extended to April 28,
2012 and the terms of the extension require monthly payment of interest only at
a fixed rate of 6% through March 2011, increasing to 6.25% through maturity. The
extension was subject to a $200,000 principal payment which was made in March
2010 and requires an additional $200,000 principal payment on March 28,
2011.
Equity Investments – During
the quarter ended March 31, 2010 we extended all of the debt maturing in 2010 on
our equity investments. Three mortgage loans secured by four Marc Realty
properties with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $29,079,000
were refinanced. One mortgage loan, in the amount of $5,500,000 was extended
through 2011 at its existing terms. The remaining two mortgage loans amounting
to $23,579,000 were extended through February 2013 at Libor + 2.75% with a
minimum rate of 4.25%. The refinancing of the mortgage loans also required a
$1,300,000 principal payment which was made in April 2010.
Line of Credit – Our
$35,000,000 revolving line of credit which has no outstanding balance at March
31, 2010 matures in December 2010. We have one option to extend the term of this
facility for an additional year.
Preferred Shares – In March
2010 an investor converted 400,000 Series C Preferred Shares into 714,400 Common
Shares. As a result, as of March 31, 2010, we had outstanding 852,000
Series B-1 Preferred Shares and 144,000 Series C Preferred Shares which, if not
previously converted, we are required to redeem in February 2012 at a price
of $25 per share.
Comparability of Financial
Data from Period to Period
The
comparability of financial data from period to period is affected by several
items including 1) the timing of our property acquisitions and leasing
activities, 2) the purchases and sales of assets and investments, 3) taking
material other-than-temporary impairment losses on assets in our portfolio and
4) the reclassification of assets. In this regard, the comparability
of financial results for the current periods were impacted by the write-down of
our investment in Lex-Win Concord during the second quarter of 2009 and the
reclassification of certain Marc Realty assets from an aggregated preferred
equity investment to 12 individual common equity investments as of July 1,
2009.
Operating
Properties
During
2010 we expect that our operating property portfolio, which consists of 39
properties containing 8.3 million square feet, will continue to be faced with
leasing and expense containment issues effecting commercial real estate
nationally.
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2010 we made no acquisitions or dispositions of
operating properties. The current economy has slowed our
transactional activity as it relates to the acquisition and sale of real estate
assets which we expect to continue to be restricted in the near
term.
Consolidated Operating
Properties -
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010 there was significant positive leasing
activity. Our 554,000 square foot Jacksonville, Florida property which was
vacant much of 2009 has been leased up under a long term lease to a
credit-worthy tenant. Similarly, our properties in Andover,
Massachusetts and Burlington, Vermont with expiring contracts have been fully
re-leased, Andover with a new tenant for 93,000 square feet through September
2022 and Burlington through the renewal of an existing sub-tenant for 56,000
square feet through January 1, 2015, leaving us with 96.1% occupancy on our
consolidated assets.
31
WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2010
In
October 2009 Kroger notified us of its intention not to exercise its renewal
option on five buildings containing 229,000 square feet which they lease from
us. The leases for these properties will expire in October 2010 and
we are aggressively marketing these properties for lease or sale.
Our
1,008,000 square foot property located in Churchill, Pennsylvania is under lease
through December 2010. The property requires significant capital
improvements which we believe to be the tenant’s responsibility under the terms
of the lease. Based on the current developments on this property we
recorded impairment losses in 2009 as required under relevant accounting
guidance. Due to
our inability to reach resolution with CBS Corporation and Viacom, Inc., the
obligors of the lease at our Churchill, Pennsylvania property, as to their
collective restoration obligations relating to the severe disrepair of the
property, we have advised CBS and Viacom that we will be seeking damages in
excess of $29,000,000 in view of the year-end lease
termination.
Assets Held for Sale -
Operating Property - In 2009 the tenant at our Athens, Georgia retail
property notified us that it was exercising its right to purchase the property
at the expiration of the current lease term. In accordance with the
lease, the purchase price will be equal to the fair market value of the property
at the time of sale. We and the tenant have each engaged independent
third parties to determine the fair market value of the property. We
are awaiting the results of the appraisal process and anticipate that the sale
will be consummated on or before October 31, 2010, the current lease expiration
date.
Equity Investments in
Operating Properties
Sealy - As
of March 31, 2010, we held equity interests in three real estate ventures
with Sealy & Co which have an aggregate of approximately 2.1 million
rentable square feet consisting of 18 office/flex buildings and 13 light
distribution and service center properties. The investment properties are
located in Northwest Atlanta, and Atlanta, Georgia and Nashville, Tennessee and
had occupancies of 70%, 80% and 86%, respectively, at March 31,
2010. This compares to occupancy of 84%, 82%, and 88% at March 31,
2009. The decrease in occupancy at the Northwest Atlanta, Georgia
property is the result of the current softening in this market. The
properties are being aggressively marketed for lease. They continue
to generate sufficient cash flow to service debt, meet capital expenditure needs
and in 2010, although reporting a loss of $603,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 2010 due primarily to depreciation and amortization, we received cash
distributions of $104,000 from operations.
The Sealy
properties have $139,750,000 of mortgage debt with no maturities until January
2012.
Marc Realty - As of March 31,
2010, we held 12 equity interests with Marc Realty which consist of an aggregate
of approximately 1,977,000 rentable square feet of office and retail space which
was 83.5% occupied as compared to 84.1% occupied at December 31,
2009.
Five
downtown Chicago properties contain approximately 959,000 rentable square feet
of the aggregate Marc Realty portfolio and accounted for $37,009,000 of our
March 31, 2010 carrying value. These five properties had occupancy of
89.2% at March 31, 2010, compared to 93.1% occupancy at March 31,
2009. They offer significant stability to our overall investment due
to their size, locality, tenant composition and consistent results during times
of difficult market conditions. The balance of the portfolio,
representing seven properties and $21,061,000 of our March 31, 2010 carrying
value, contain approximately 1,018,000 square feet. This part of the
portfolio is located in the Chicago suburbs and was 78.1% occupied at March 31,
2010 compared to 79.6% occupied at March 31, 2009.
The Marc
Realty properties are encumbered with $94,300,000 of mortgage debt currently,
with no debt maturing in 2010, $29,984,000 maturing in 2011 and the remainder in
2012 or later.
Loan
Assets
Our loan
asset portfolio as of March 31, 2010 consists of $30,556,000 invested in a
combination of whole loans, B-notes and mezzanine loans that are secured by
quality assets in major metropolitan cities. These recent 2009 acquisitions
exemplify the type of investments that we view as opportunities in this market.
The collateral is located in markets that we believe will recover quicker and
most dramatically, and the loan assets were priced to yield a return consistent
with our expectations in this market. The portfolio generated interest earnings
of $2,463,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
32
WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2010
We have
seen increased deal flow through collateralized real estate loans and
preferred equity. Recent market statistics indicate billions of
dollars of commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateral debt obligation
loans are now in special servicing and there is an expectation that the number
will continue to grow. We expect strong opportunities to invest will
emerge when borrowers are unable to refinance loans at maturity and as monetary
defaults increase due to reduced rental income.
REIT
Securities
We had
significant returns from our REIT securities investing after having invested
approximately $71,317,000 since the fourth quarter of 2008. We have
tapered off on our investing in REIT equity and debt securities and are now
realizing those returns through the sale of the
securities. Accordingly, during the period ended March 31, 2010 we
generated net proceeds of approximately $11,407,000 and recorded realized and
unrealized gains in the first quarter of $695,000 and $2,540,000
respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At March
31, 2010, we held $76,591,000 in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and
$45,738,000 in equity and debt REIT securities. In addition, we had
the ability to draw up to $35,000,000 on our revolving line of
credit.
We
believe that cash flow from operations will continue to provide adequate capital
to fund our operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service
obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with REIT requirements in
the short-term. We anticipate that cash on hand, borrowings under our credit
facility and issuance of equity and debt securities will provide the necessary
capital required for our investment and financing activities. As a
REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. As a
result of this dividend requirement, we, like other REITs, are unable to
reinvest all of our operating cash flow and are dependent on raising capital
through equity and debt issuances or forming ventures with investors to obtain
funds with which to expand our business.
Our
primary sources of funds include:
|
·
|
the
use of cash and cash equivalents;
|
|
·
|
rents
and reimbursements received from our operating
properties;
|
|
·
|

|
·
|
cash
distributions from joint ventures;

|
·
|
borrowings
under our credit facilities; and
|
|
·
|
asset

|
Cash
Flows
Our level
of liquidity based upon cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately
$10,098,000 from $66,493,000 at December 31, 2009 to $76,591,000 at March 31,

Activities
Our
operating activities generated net income of $4,450,000 and positive cash flow
of $3,871,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our cash
provided by operations reflects our net income adjusted by: (i) non-cash items
of $2,444,000; (ii) $693,000 of distributions from non-consolidated interests;
and (iii) a net decrease due to changes in other operating assets and

Investing
Activities
Cash
provided by investing activities of $10,785,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2010 was comprised primarily of the following:
|
·
|
$11,407,000
in proceeds from the sale of securities carried at fair value;
and
|
|
·
|
$3,000,000
in proceeds from the sale at par value of the Siete Square A
Note;
|
These
sources of investing cash flows were offset primarily by:
|
·
|
$1,306,000
for purchases of securities carried at fair
value;
|
|
·
|
$679,000
for additional loan advances on the 160 Spear property and 180 North
Michigan;
|
|
·
|
$920,000
for investment in our Marc Realty equity investments;
and
|
|
·
|
$687,000
for investment in capital and tenant improvements at our operating
properties.
|
Financing
Activities
Cash used
in financing activities of $4,558,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010
was comprised primarily of the following:
|
·
|
$3,311,000
for dividend payments on our Common
Shares;
|
|
·
|
$221,000
for dividend payments on our Series C Preferred Shares;
and
|
|
·
|
$1,790,000
for mortgage loan repayments.
|
Dividends
In paying
dividends we seek to have our quarterly dividends track recurring cash flow from
operations. While we intend to continue paying dividends each quarter,
they will depend on the actual cash flow, financial condition, capital
requirements, utilization of available capital losses and net operating loss
carryforwards, distribution requirements for REITs under the Internal Revenue
Code, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deem relevant.
Subject to the foregoing, we expect to continue distributing our recurring
current cash flow after reserving normal and customary amounts thereby allowing
us to maintain our capital. In addition, when deemed prudent or
necessitated by applicable distribution requirements for REITs under the
Internal Revenue Code, we may make one or more special distributions during any
particular year.
In light
of the foregoing, in 2009 we reduced our dividend from $0.325 per share to $0.25
per share for the first three quarters of 2009 and, as a result of the issuance
of additional Common Shares during the fourth quarter of 2009 from our rights
offering, the proceeds of which have not yet been invested into accretive
investments, we reduced the quarterly dividend again to $0.1625 for the fourth
quarter of 2009. This represents our existing budgeted recurring cash
flow generated by assets currently owned and excludes any potential future cash
flow generated from the investment of the substantial cash and cash equivalents
on hand. Additionally, during a favorable investing environment, we
expect that we will utilize our carryforward capital losses to shelter gains
from the disposition of our assets so we may use the proceeds for
investment. We expect to continue applying these standards with
respect to our dividends on a quarterly basis which could cause the dividends to
increase or decrease depending on these various factors.

The
decrease in REIT securities assets was primarily the result of the sale of

The
decrease in loan assets was due primarily to the sale of the $3,000,000 Siete

The
decrease in other assets resulted primarily from a $1,752,000 reduction in
restricted cash held in escrow and a $1,314,000 reduction in accounts receivable
and prepaid expenses.

For
purposes of management’s discussion of our results of operations, operating
income for each business segment is defined as all items of income and expense
directly derived from or incurred by each business segment before depreciation,
amortization and interest expense. Operating income from our
operating properties decreased by $1,327,000 over the prior year
period. The decrease was due primarily to:
|
·
|
a
decrease of $369,000 in rents and reimbursements at our Andover,
Massachusetts property due to the expiration of the lease in place at
December 31, 2009. This space has been leased effective March
18, 2010;
|
|
·
|
a
decrease of $340,000 in rents and reimbursements from our net lease
portfolio due to the reduced rent pursuant to the restructuring and
10-year extension of the lease for our Plantation, Florida property as of
April 1, 2009;
|
|
·
|
a
decrease of $158,000 in rents and reimbursements at our Jacksonville,
Florida property due to the loss of two tenants in 2009 who occupied
approximately 80% of the property. This space has been leased
effective February 1, 2010;
|
|
·
|
a
decrease of $131,000 in rents and reimbursements from our Lisle, Illinois
properties due to an approximate 15% decrease in average occupancy at one
of the properties for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2009;
and
|
|
·
|
a
$121,000 increase in losses from our Sealy equity investments due
primarily to a $137,000 increase in loss related to our Northwest Atlanta,
Georgia office complex which experienced a 3% decrease in occupancy at
March 31, 2010 from March 31, 2009. Losses from the Sealy
portfolio are primarily the result of non-cash depreciation and
amortization expenses. We received cash distributions of
$104,000 from the Sealy equity investments for the three months ended
March 31, 2010.

Depreciation

Lex-Win Concord. Our equity investment in Lex-Win Concord was
written down to zero as of June 30, 2009. We had no income or

expenditure loans related to the Marc Realty investments which are now

for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to income of $3,369,000 for the three

to:
|

a
$13,688,000 increase in unrealized gain on securities carried at fair

·
|
a

a
$5,237,000 gain on early extinguishment of debt recognized in 2009
resulting from our January 2009 purchase of 917,105 of our Series B-1
Preferred Shares at a discount to their liquidation value;
and
|
|
·
|
a
$457,000 increase in general and administrative expenses due primarily to
an increase in the base management fee of $260,000 and a $146,000 increase
in professional fees. The increase in professional fees was
primarily the result of $200,000 in costs incurred in 2010 related to
pursuing potential investments;
|
Partially
offset by:
|
·
|
a
$269,000 decrease in corporate interest expense due to lower aggregate
payments in 2010 on our Series B-1 Preferred Shares as a result of fewer
Series B-1 Preferred Shares outstanding during
2010.
|
State
income taxes were $15,000 and $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively, due primarily to our anticipated taxable income for
state purposes, after deductions for dividends paid and after the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards, where applicable.
Discontinued
Operations
Discontinued
operations consists of our Athens, Georgia retail property where the tenant
notified us of its intent to exercise its purchase option at the expiration of
the current lease term and our apartment complex in Kansas City, Kansas which
was foreclosed in December 2009.

|
QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
|
Interest
Rate Risk
We have
exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest
rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our
control. Various financial vehicles exist which would allow
management to partially mitigate the potential negative effects of interest rate
fluctuations on our cash flow and earnings.
Our
liabilities include both fixed and variable rate debt. As discussed
in ITEM 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations, we seek to limit our risk to interest rate fluctuations
through match financing on our loan assets as well as through hedging
transactions. In this regard, we entered into the following
agreements:
|
·
|
We
entered into an interest rate swap agreement, with a notional amount of
$23,000,000, which commenced December 1, 2009 and will expire June 30,
2010 which effectively converts the interest rate on that portion of
principal from a floating rate of 1.75% to a fixed rate of
2.80%.
|
The fair
value of our debt, based on discounted cash flows at the current rate at which
similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the
remaining term of such debt, was less than its carrying value of
$214,977,000 at March 31, 2010 and $216,767,000 at December 31,
2009 by $20,926,000 at March 31, 2010 and $25,704,000 at December
31, 2009.
The
following table shows what the annual effect a change in the LIBOR rate would
have on interest expense based upon the unhedged balances in variable rate debt
at March 31, 2010 (in thousands):

FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2010
|
(2)
|
The
one-month LIBOR rate at March 31, 2010 was
0.25%.
|
We may
utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the potential negative impact
of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging
strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the
costs and risks of such strategies. In addition, as of March 31, 2010
and December 31, 2009 our variable rate loan assets with a face value
aggregating $32,504,000, for both periods, partially mitigate our exposure to
change in interest rates.
Market
Value Risk
Our hedge
transactions using derivative instruments also involve certain additional risks
such as counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging contracts and
the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest rates will cause
a significant loss of basis in the contract. The one counterparty of
these arrangements is KeyBank at the present time. We do not
anticipate that this counterparty will fail to meet its
obligations. There can be no assurance that we will adequately
protect against the foregoing risks and that we will ultimately realize an
economic benefit.
ITEM 4.
|
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of
March 31, 2010, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,
2010.
Other
Matters
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during
the most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
