Residual Interests in Securitized Portfolios
 
The Company, through its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, S2 Holdings, Inc. (“S2”), owns 99.9% Class B member interests in Receivables II-A LLC, a limited liability company (“Receivables II-A”) and Receivables II-B, LLC, a limited liability company (“Receivables II-B”).  The Class B member interests, which are consolidated into S2 for financial statement reporting purposes, entitle the Company to be allocated 99.9% of all items of income, loss and distribution of Receivables II-A and Receivables II-B.  Receivables II-A and Receivables II-B receive all the residual cash flow from five securitized receivable pools after payment to the securitized note holders.  The Company considered whether member interests should be considered variable interest entities, when consolidating S2’s ownership of its member interests and determined that S2’s member interests do not meet the definition of variable interest entities.
 
In accordance with the purchase agreements entered into with respect to the residual interests, adjustments are made to the receivables and notes payable based on the performance of the underlying periodic payment receivables, both increases and decreases, and could be material in the future. Other-than-temporary impairments are recorded immediately through results of operations. The Company performs quarterly comparisons of fair value to carrying value and updates the expectation of cash flows to be collected over the life of the residual interests. Favorable changes in future cash flows are recognized through results of operations as interest over the remaining life of the residual interest.

Investments

Real Estate

The Owned Site-Kearny Property

The Company currently owns eight buildings totaling 347,000 square feet on eight and one half acres located in an industrial park in Kearny, NJ leased to various unrelated tenants (the “Owned Site”). The Owned Site represents a portion of the Passaic River Development area designated for redevelopment by the town of Kearny, New Jersey (the “Property”). The Company continues to lease such Property to multiple tenants until such time as it can redevelop the Property as described below.

In connection with the redevelopment of the Kearny Property, on December 11, 2007, we entered into a Redeveloper Agreement with the Town of Kearny.  Pursuant to the Redeveloper Agreement, the Town of Kearny designated us as the redeveloper of the Kearny Property.  As redeveloper, we are obligated to redevelop the Kearny Property, at our expense, in accordance with the plans and specifications described therein, subject to review and approval of the Planning Board of the Town of Kearny. The initial plans and specifications provide for the development of up to approximately 150,000 square feet of retail space.  The term of the Redeveloper Agreement along with our rights there under which were originally set to expire on December 31, 2009, was extended to May 1, 2011. If we are in default of any terms or conditions of the Redeveloper Agreement and do not cure within the appropriate time as set forth in the agreement (to the extent that a cure period is provided for such default), the Town of Kearny is afforded a number of rights including the right to terminate the Redeveloper Agreement.

The Company has capitalized costs exclusive of land and building, of $1,119 and $1,058 at September 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, respectively, related to the development of this project.
 
In order to undertake and complete the redevelopment of the Property, we will need to secure leases with credit worthy tenants and obtain construction financing and, additional loan and equity financing.  Given the current economic conditions, there can be no assurance that any such tenants will be secured or that financing will be obtained on acceptable terms or at all. Additionally, given the current economic conditions there can be no assurance that the redevelopment will occur in the five year period required under the Redevelopment Agreement or at all.
 
In connection with the proposed redevelopment of an adjacent parcel, during July 2010 the Company deposited $2,463 with the Town of Kearny in order to pay for the condemnation of the adjacent parcel.  The Company borrowed $2.2 million under an existing loan facility and paid $263 in cash.  It is anticipated that the owner of the adjacent parcel will contest the valuation.  There can be no assurance that the Company will not have to provide additional funds in connection therewith.
 
The Bogota Property

In October 2004, we entered into an agreement with Bogota Associates and Industrial Associates, the owners of the land underlying the Bogota, New Jersey leasehold, pursuant to which the leasehold was cancelled in consideration of the aforementioned partnerships agreeing to repay certain of our out-of-pocket expenses including real estate taxes and environmental remediation costs as well as $50 upon completion of a sale of the property to a third party. In addition, we own an 8.25% limited partner interest in one of these partnerships.  As of September 30, 2010, the sale has not yet been consummated. The sale of the property is subject to environmental remediation which needs to be completed, which will require the Company to expend additional amounts in excess of the $741 previously expended.  The Company cannot currently estimate the future amounts to be expended.  There can be no assurance that the sale will be consummated and the Company will receive its reimbursements.  The third party continues to lease space. The net expenses to be reimbursed to us are approximately $741 as of September 30, 2010 not including the $50 fee or any amounts to be received as a limited partner.

Foreclosed Properties

In 2002, the Company acquired the Fort Edward property through foreclosure from an Affiliated Limited Partnership.  The Company subsequently discovered that the property had contamination which required environmental remediation.  To date the Company has expended $1,050 for environmental remediation costs.  The environmental remediation will require the Company to expend additional amounts in excess of the amounts previously expended.  The Company cannot currently estimate the future amounts to be expended.  The property cannot be sold or otherwise developed until the environmental remediation is completed.  The Company has filed a lawsuit against the parties it believes are responsible for causing the environmental contamination.  The litigation is ongoing, however there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in recovering any funds as a result of the litigation.

Transactions with Affiliates

Income Earned
 
The Company has provided management, accounting, administrative services and office space to certain entities which are affiliated with NPO Management, LLC (“NPO”) which are entities engaged in real estate ownership, lending and management.  As compensation, the Company recorded fees of $333 and $388 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Management and Other Fees and Expenses Incurred
 
The Company incurred fees to NPO of $594 and $586 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, under an Asset Servicing Agreement (the “Asset Servicing Agreement”) between the Company and NPO, pursuant to which NPO provides the Company with asset management, advisory and administrative services relating to the assets of the Company and its affiliated limited partnerships. During 2010 and 2009, the Company provided office space under the Asset Servicing Agreement to NPO consisting of approximately 500 square feet of the Company’s New York location.
 
The Millennium Group, an affiliate of NPO, received approximately $101 and $81 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing additional management and analytical services.
 
Interest expense on amounts due to Pemmil Funding LLC, members of which are our President and Chief Executive Officer and members of NPO and their affiliates, with respect to its loan to DVL were $103 and $128 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
6.
Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Legal Proceedings

Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Settlement, a fund has been established into which DVL is required to deposit 20% of the cash flow received on certain of its mortgage loans from Affiliated Limited Partnerships after repayment of certain creditors, 50% of DVL’s receipts from certain loans to, and general partnership investments in, Affiliated Limited Partnerships and a contribution of 5% of DVL’s net income (based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) in the years 2004 through 2012 subject to certain adjustments.  The Company accrued $92 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 which represents 5% of DVL’s net income after certain adjustments.

7.
Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses derivatives to manage risks related to interest rate movements on its floating rate loans.  Interest rate swap contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are reported at fair value, the Company has established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments.  Specifically, all derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and those instruments are measured at fair value.  As of January 1, 2010, the Company decided to discontinue the use of hedge accounting.  Accordingly, changes in the fair value of derivatives will be reported as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Additionally, the balance that existed in other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity as of December 31, 2009 will be amortized through the income statement over the remaining lives of the swap transactions on a straight-line basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on whether the inputs utilized in the valuation are observable: Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable through market-corroborated inputs; and Level 3 - inputs are unobservable, or observable but cannot be market-corroborated, requiring the Company to make assumptions about pricing by market participants.  The following table sets forth information for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In addition to the above liabilities which are recorded at fair value, the Company is also required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the financial statements, for which it is practicable to estimate that value.   In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those assumptions are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the estimated market discount rate and the estimated future cash flows.  The following table details the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments:

The amount that carrying value exceeded fair value for the periods presented was primarily due to a lack of marketability which impacted the rate used to discount the expected future cash flows. The Company determined that there was not an adverse change in expected cash flows and therefore an other-than-temporary impairment did not exist.

Discontinued Operations

During 2010 and 2009, the Company disposed of certain real estate properties.  The sale and operation of these properties for all periods presented have been recorded as discontinued operations in compliance with our accounting policy.
 
As of September 30, 2010, the activities of our Iowa Park, Texas property, Brent, Alabama property, Soddy Daisy, Tennessee property and Kennedy, Texas property which were previously foreclosed on, have been included in discontinued operations. The Iowa Park property was sold during January 2010 for net proceeds of $162 which resulted in a loss from the sale of discontinued operations of approximately $50.  The Brent property was sold during May 2010 for net proceeds of $82 which resulted in a gain from the sale of discontinued operations of approximately $2, net of a provision for impairment of $245 recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010.   The Soddy Daisy property was sold during July, 2010 for net proceeds of $506 which resulted in a gain from the sale of discontinued operations of approximately $506.  The Kennedy property was sold during September 2010 for net proceeds of $480 which resulted in a gain from the sale of discontinued operations of approximately $422.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the activities of the sold properties have been included in discontinued operations.

Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are summarized as follows:

Subsequent Events
 
On October 26, 2010, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission which included proposals to affect a 1-for-7,500 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The proposal, if approved, would result in the Company having fewer than 300 stockholders of record and allow the Company to deregister its Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and avoid the costs associated with being a public reporting company. The Company has signed a letter of intent to borrow $750, from an unaffiliated bank, to finance the acquisition of fractional shares.
 
On October 15, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a three year extension of the asset servicing agreement between the Company and NPO Management, LLC under the same terms and conditions. The agreement will now expire on March 31, 2014.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(in thousands)

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 contains statements which constitute 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. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of DVL, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its management team. DVL’s shareholders and prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things, general economic conditions and other risks and uncertainties that are discussed herein and in DVL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. All references to “DVL”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” refer to DVL, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
 
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying financial statement notes appearing elsewhere herein and in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
None of the recently adopted accounting standards had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
We are a commercial finance company which is primarily engaged in (a) the ownership of residual interests in securitized portfolios, (b) the ownership and servicing of a portfolio of secured commercial mortgage loans made to Affiliated Limited Partnerships, (c) the ownership of real estate and (d) the performance of real estate asset management and administrative services.

We expect that anticipated cash flow provided by operations and other sources will be sufficient to meet our current cash requirements through at least the next twelve months.  We have in the past and expect in the future to continue to be required to augment our cash flow provided by operations with additional cash generated from either the sale or refinancing of portions of our assets and/or other borrowings.  We currently do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our cash requirements or to permit us to pay a dividend on our common stock.  Excluding proceeds generated from the sale of assets, our cash flow would have been a net decrease in cash of $528 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Cash flow in any given quarter is not necessarily indicative of the cash flow from any other quarter because of the seasonality of cash receipts and disbursements.
 
On October 26, 2010, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission which included proposals to affect a 1-for-7,500 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The proposal, if approved, would result in the Company having fewer than 300 stockholders of record and allow the Company to deregister its Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and avoid the costs associated with being a public reporting company. The Company has signed a letter of intent to borrow $750, from an unaffiliated bank, to finance the acquisition of fractional shares.
 
Many of the mortgages currently held by us have underlying loans or are pledged to secure debt, which are serviced by much if not all of the cash flow generated from the repayment of our mortgage portfolio.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we foreclosed on, or received deeds in lieu for one of our mortgage loans as a result of the applicable Affiliated Limited Partnership’s failure to pay amounts due on such loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold four properties, which we had previously foreclosed on or received deeds in lieu, for net proceeds of $1,229, which resulted in a net gain of $880.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we sold two properties, which we had previously foreclosed on or received deeds in lieu,  and received net proceeds of $914, which resulted in a net gain of $47.  All of the remaining properties are being held for lease or sale and at September 30, 2010 remain vacant and unsold.  As a result, we are obligated for all costs at these properties including property taxes and insurance.  Considering the status of the property markets and the location of our properties there can be no assurance regarding future leasing or sale of the properties.
 
 
18

 
Our current strategy is to continue to maximize the value of our assets and meet our short-term working capital needs by continuing to manage, administer and service our existing portfolio and develop, lease and refinance or sell an 8.5 acre retail site located in Kearny, NJ which we have owned for many years and for which we have been designated as developer by the Town of Kearny.   However, because of the current economic conditions, the development of the Kearny property will take longer than originally projected.  In the current economic market there is no assurance that the project will be successful or that the redevelopment can be completed.  In addition, in order for us to undertake the redevelopment of such property, we will need to secure leases with credit worthy tenants, obtain construction financing, and, additional loan and equity financing.  Given current economic conditions, there can be no assurance that any such tenants will be secured or that financing will be obtained on acceptable terms or at all.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash balance was $1,768 at September 30, 2010, compared with $1,067 at December 31, 2009.  This increase was due to $1,116 provided by operating activities, $4,515 of net cash provided by investing activities, partially offset by $4,930 of net cash used in financing activities.

Our cash flow from operating activities is generated principally from rental income from our ownership of real estate, distributions in connection with our residual interests in securitized portfolios, interest on our mortgage portfolio, management fees and transaction and other fees received as a result of the sale and/or refinancing of partnership properties and mortgages.
 
 
23

 
Our cash flow from investing activities is generated primarily from principal collections on residual interests and to a lesser extent from collections of loan receivables and net proceeds from the sale of our Iowa Park, Texas, Brent, Alabama, Soddy Daisy, Tennessee and Kennedy, Texas properties.

Our cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of payments on notes payable relating to residual interests and to a lesser extent principal payments on our debt and underlying mortgages, offset by new borrowings.

We expect that anticipated cash flow provided by operations and other sources will be sufficient to meet our current cash requirements through at least the next twelve months.  We have in the past and expect in the future to continue to be required to augment our cash flow provided by operations with additional cash generated from either the sale or refinancing of portions of our assets and/or other borrowings.  We currently do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our cash requirements or to permit us to pay a dividend on our common stock.  Excluding proceeds generated from the sale of assets, our cash flow would have been a net decrease in cash of $528 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Cash flow in any given quarter is not necessarily indicative of the cash flow from any other quarter because of the seasonality of cash receipts and disbursements.

We use derivatives to manage risks related to interest rate movements on our floating rate debt.  Interest rate swap contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are reported at fair value.  During September 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to one of its floating rate loans.  Valued separately, the interest rate swap agreement represents a liability as of September 30, 2010, in the amount of $98.  During April 2009, the Company entered into a second interest rate swap agreement related to another of its floating rate loans.  Valued separately, the interest rate swap agreement represents a liability as of September 30, 2010 in the amount of $42.  This value represents the fair value of the current difference in interest paid and received under the swap agreements over the remaining term of the agreements.  As of January 1, 2010, we decided to discontinue the use of hedge accounting.  Accordingly, changes in the fair value of derivatives will be reported as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.  Additionally, the balance that existed in other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity as of December 31, 2009 will be amortized through the income statement over the remaining lives of the swap transactions on a straight-line basis. The following table summarizes the notional values of our derivative financial instruments.  The notional value provides an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments on September 30, 2010, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES

Our portfolio of mortgage loans made to Affiliated Limited Partnerships consists primarily of loans made at fixed rates of interest.  Therefore, increases or decreases in market interest rates are generally not expected to have an effect on our earnings.  Other than as a factor in determining market interest rates, inflation has not had a significant effect on our net income.
