the ability to sell operating shopping center properties and parcels of land as projected and upon economically favorable terms;
 
 
 
the availability of new development opportunities;
 
 
 
changes in the financial condition or corporate strategy of or business relations with primary retail tenants, or the loss of one or more of the Company’s primary retail tenants or their ability to pay rent;

2.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and certain reclassifications considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002 or any other interim period.

3.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Reclassifications.  Certain amounts as previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements.  In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2002, prohibits regular amortization of goodwill and requires at least an annual impairment analysis of all recorded goodwill. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $172,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002 related to impairment of the Company’s goodwill.
 
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under the new guidance, management reviews long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable and the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are less than its carrying amount. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the Company records impairment losses and reduces the carrying amount of impaired assets to an amount that reflects the fair value of the assets at the time impairment is evident. Management also reviews estimated selling prices of assets held for sale and records impairment losses to reduce the carrying

amount of assets held for sale when the carrying amounts exceed the estimated selling prices less costs to sell. Also, material long-lived assets held for sale are separately identified in the consolidated balance sheets and their related net operating income is segregated as income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, depreciation of long-lived assets held for sale is not recorded. If an asset held for sale reverts to an asset used in operations, the asset will be measured at the lower of the original carrying cost, adjusted for the forgone depreciation, or the fair value at the date of the decision to hold the asset. Adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the Company.
 
4.    CONSTRUCTION LOAN
 
On April 12, 2002, the Company closed a construction loan secured by land and improvements in Mesquite, Texas (the “Mesquite Loan”). The Mesquite Loan provides for maximum borrowings of $19.8 million, none of which was outstanding as of June 30, 2002. The Mesquite Loan matures in April 2004, but may be extended to April, 2006 provided certain leasing and development targets are met. The Mesquite Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%.
 
5.
 
MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE
 
On June 20, 2002, the Company refinanced a $23 million mortgage note payable secured by a shopping center located in Denver, Colorado with a $30 million mortgage note secured by the same shopping center. The new mortgage note matures in June 2012 and bears interest at 7.30%. Net proceeds from the new mortgage loan were used to repay amounts outstanding on the Company’s secured line of credit.
 
On June 28, 2002, the Company obtained a $20 million mortgage note payable secured by a shopping center located in Allentown, Pennsylvania. This loan matures in June 2021 and bears interest at 6.95%. Proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding on the Company’s secured line of credit.
 
6.
 
SHOPPING CENTER DISPOSITIONS
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company sold a 136,390 square foot shopping center to an unrelated party in Davenport, Iowa for $13.2 million. Additionally, as of June 30, 2002 the Company had three shopping centers or portions of shopping centers under contract to sell.
 
7.    CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is from time to time a party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business.

Of total options outstanding, options to purchase 715,250 and 1,240,500 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, were outstanding with exercise prices higher than the average market price of the common shares for the applicable period. These options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive.
 
        The Company is the general partner in a limited partnership that issued limited partnership units initially valued at $3.0 million and was formed to own and operate a shopping center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Subject to certain conditions, the limited partnership units are exchangeable for cash or 139,535 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2002, none of the limited partnership units have been exchanged for shares. Using the “if-converted” method, the effect of these units is antidilutive; therefore, they have been excluded from the computation of earnings per share.

Results of Operations
 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2001
 
During 2002 and 2001, the Company developed and began operations at 39 properties totaling approximately 4.3 million square feet (the “Development Properties”). During 2002 and 2001, the Company disposed of 20 properties totaling approximately 1.9 million square feet (the “Disposition Properties”). As indicated below, the Development Properties and the Disposition Properties affected the Company’s results of operations.
 
Minimum and percentage rents increased $149,000 or 0.7% to $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $21.6 million for the same period in 2001. Minimum and percentage rents decreased $2.2 million as a result of the Disposition Properties. This decrease is partially offset by a $2.1 million increase related to the Development Properties. The remaining increase is primarily the result of an increase in rents at existing properties.
 
Recoveries from tenants increased $687,000 or 20.3% to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $3.5 million for the same period in 2001. Recoveries from tenants decreased $300,000 as a result of the Disposition Properties. This decrease is offset by a $460,000 increase related to the Development Properties. The remaining increase primarily relates to additional recovery of prior year common area maintenance expenses.
 
Other revenue decreased $350,000 to $287,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $637,000 for the same period in 2001. Other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 includes lease termination fees in the aggregate amount of $208,000 at two of the Company’s shopping center properties and management fees earned on third-party management services. Other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2001 includes lease termination fees of $559,000 at one of the Company’s shopping center properties and management fees earned on third-party management services.
 
Operating and maintenance expenses decreased $204,000 or 7.4% to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $2.7 million for the same period in 2001. Operating and maintenance expenses decreased $242,000 as a result of the Disposition Properties. This decrease is partially offset by a $132,000 increase related to the Development Properties. The remaining decrease is a result of decreased operating and maintenance expenses at existing properties.
 
Real estate taxes increased $590,000 or 31.8% to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $1.9 million for the same period in 2001. Real estate taxes increased by $375,000 as a result of the Development Properties. This increase is partially offset by a $132,000 decrease related to the Disposition Properties. The remaining increase is a result of real estate taxes on land that was previously under construction.

During the three months ended June 30, 2002, there were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies presented under the heading “Significant Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 2 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
Funds From Operations
 
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. to mean net income, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring, sales of depreciable property, cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and results of discontinued operations not related to real estate assets sold, transferred or held for sale, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash provided by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, it provides investors with an indication of the Company’s ability to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. The Company’s method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash provided by operating activities as defined by GAAP, should not be considered an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of operating performance and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs, including the Company’s ability to make cash distributions. The Company has presented below the calculation of FFO for the periods indicated:

Leasing and Tenant Information
 
As of June 30, 2002, Lowe’s, Wal-Mart and Kohl’s Corporation represented 15.7%, 4.9% and 4.0%, respectively, of the Company’s annualized base rent (“Company ABR”). In addition, at that date, anchor tenants represented 38.3% of Company ABR and national and regional tenants represented 83.2% of Company ABR. As of June 30, 2002, properties owned and operated by the Company and one affiliated entity were 92.7% leased. Occupancy decreased slightly in the second quarter from 93.2% as of March 31, 2002 primarily as a result of Kmart rejecting its lease in bankruptcy proceedings at the Company’s Stockbridge, Georgia shopping center. See further information on the Kmart lease termination below. The decrease in vacancy is partially offset by the leasing of a 53,000 square foot space, previously occupied by Homeplace, in Denver, Colorado and the leasing of a previously vacant 27,000 square foot space in Cartersville, Georgia.
 
As of June 30, 2002, the Company operated shopping center properties in 19 states. Shopping center properties located in Georgia, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Florida represented 37.6%, 9.8%, 7.2% and 5.5%, respectively, of Company ABR.
 
The Company derives the majority of its rental income and development activities from the retail industry and is therefore exposed to trends or events affecting the retail industry. As of June 30, 2002, the Company was exposed primarily to the following segments of the retail industry:

On January 22, 2002, Kmart Corporation, an anchor tenant in five of the Company’s wholly or jointly owned shopping centers, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Kmart has the ability to affirm or reject pre-petition lease agreements. As of June 30, 2002, Kmart has rejected one of the Company’s five leases, representing approximately $327,000 of Company ABR. The remaining four leases represent approximately 2.5% of Company ABR and 3.5% of Company GLA. There can be no assurance that Kmart will accept the Company’s other four leases or that the remaining leases, if accepted, will not have reduced rental rates. Rejection or reduction of rental rates of any or all of the Company’s remaining Kmart leases could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
 
New Development Activities
 
The Company’s primary business has historically been to develop shopping centers anchored by value-oriented, necessity-item retailers such as Lowe’s, Wal-Mart, Kroger and Kohl’s. The Company expects to continue to pursue development opportunities with the types of retailers with which it has traditionally worked while increasing its focus on grocers and grocery-anchored shopping centers. In evaluating new projects, the Company’s Investment Committee reviews and authorizes funds for new projects and substantial changes to existing projects to assure compliance with the Company’s investment objectives. The Investment Committee focuses primarily on developments for credit-worthy anchor tenants in high barrier-to-entry markets with demographic attributes that will result in favorable rates of returns on the Company’s investments. Management believes that the Company’s focus on location combined with developing for retailers who are leaders in their local markets will enable the Company to achieve rates of return on its investments in shopping center properties consistent with the Company’s objectives.
 
The Company’s Investment Committee has approved four projects in 2002 and management expects the approval of additional projects in the remainder of 2002 and beyond. There can be no assurance that the volume of the Company’s new development activities will increase, and a reduction in development activities may have an adverse affect on the Company’s future revenue and growth rate of net income and FFO.
 
Redevelopment Activities
 
The Company’s business strategy also includes the selective redevelopment, retenanting and expansion of shopping centers to increase cash flows and property values while simultaneously earning an appropriate return on the Company’s investment. The Company has historically been active in its tenant expansion plans as changing demographics and increased sales warrant expansion or relocation. Redevelopment projects have included the addition of anchor tenants, changes in the tenant mix and the

16


Table of Contents
reconfiguration of shopping centers. The Company has worked closely with several anchor tenants to enlarge their stores and enhance merchandising capabilities.
 
The Company is currently involved in shopping center redevelopments or major retenanting/reconfigurations located in the following cities: Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Pensacola, Florida; Ocala, Florida; Fayetteville, North Carolina; and Union City, Georgia. Additionally, management is evaluating redevelopment or retenanting opportunities at a number of shopping centers in which anchor tenants have either announced a store closing or have negotiated early lease terminations. Redeveloping or retenanting is dependent on locating qualified tenants that have the ability to meet the terms as outlined in their respective leases. In the event the Company is unable to locate qualified tenants, or if rents achieved are less than rents received from previous tenants, the Company’s results of operations may be adversely affected and the Company may be forced to write down the value of one or more of its assets.
 
Management Change
 
The Company announced in May 2002 that it has initiated a search for a new Chief Executive Officer. A committee of independent directors, formed to conduct the search, has engaged an outside search firm to work through the remainder of 2002 for a flat fee of $50,000. The Company believes that it can continue to execute its business plan and that it can successfully refinance its maturing credit facilities during the transition. However, there can be no assurance that this transition will not have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financing plans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Sources and Uses of Funds
 
Historically, the Company’s primary sources of funds have been cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from lines of credit, term debt, secured mortgage notes payable, construction loans, unsecured debt and equity offerings, and proceeds from sales of real estate. The Company’s primary uses of funds have historically been development, redevelopment and acquisition of shopping center properties, distributions to shareholders, repayment of outstanding indebtedness, scheduled debt amortization, leasing costs and capital improvements to shopping center properties. The Company generally has used cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from land sales to fund its distributions to shareholders, leasing costs, capital improvements to existing properties and scheduled debt amortization. The Company has used proceeds from its lines of credit, term debt, secured mortgage notes payable, construction loans, debt and equity offerings and real estate sales to repay outstanding indebtedness and to fund its ongoing development, redevelopment and acquisition activities.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company incurred $57.7 million in development and redevelopment costs. The Company funded these development and redevelopment costs primarily with borrowings under its lines of credit and from construction loans.

Floating rate debt exposure is limited through investment in financial derivatives. As of June 30, 2002, the $150,000 term loan and $50,000 of the revolving line of credit were hedged with interest rate swaps that effectively fix the underlying LIBOR rate at 4.62% and 3.85% respectively.

The Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan are part of a $300.0 million secured credit facility with a bank group (the “Secured Credit Agreement”) that is scheduled to mature December 31, 2002. The Company may extend the term until January 1, 2003 provided that the Company is in compliance with its terms. Management intends to refinance the Secured Credit Agreement before December 2002.
 
Interest on loans made pursuant to the Secured Credit Agreement ranges from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 2.25% (LIBOR plus 2.125% at June 30, 2002), based upon the Company’s

18


Table of Contents
leverage and credit quality or, at the Company’s discretion, the agent’s prime lending rate. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had $65.0 million available under the Revolving Line of Credit.
 
The Secured Credit Agreement provides that the loans thereunder be secured by first priority security interests in certain of the Company’s retail shopping center properties. As of June 30, 2002, there were 52 properties valued at approximately $506.1 million securing these loans. The Secured Credit Agreement contains certain requirements for each property within the Borrowing Base Properties (as defined in the Secured Credit Agreement) and certain value and occupancy requirements for the Borrowing Base in the aggregate. The Company may, however, add, remove or substitute certain of its other properties as Borrowing Base Properties subject to the conditions set forth in the Secured Credit Agreement.
 
The Secured Credit Agreement contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, a liabilities-to-assets ratio, fixed charges coverage ratios and a net worth covenant. In addition, the Secured Credit Agreement restricts the amount of distributions to the Company’s shareholders to 95% of the Company’s funds from operations (as defined in the Secured Credit Agreement), subject to certain exceptions, including additional distributions necessary to maintain its REIT status.
 
The Company maintains two interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts of $150.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively. The swaps effectively fix the underlying LIBOR rate on the Company’s term loan and $50.0 million of the revolving line of credit at 4.62% and 3.585%, respectively. These swaps have been designated and qualify under the provisions of SFAS No. 133 as cash flow hedges, and the Company has determined that they are effective in offsetting the variable interest cash flows on the related debt instruments. The fluctuations in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity, in the consolidated balance sheets.
 
On April 12, 2002, the Company closed a construction loan secured by land and improvements in Mesquite, Texas (the “Mesquite Loan”). The Mesquite Loan provides for maximum borrowings of $19.8 million, none of which was outstanding as of June 30, 2002. The Mesquite Loan matures in April 2004, but may be extended to 2006 provided certain leasing and development targets are met. The Mesquite Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%.
 
On June 20, 2002, the Company refinanced a $23.0 million mortgage note payable secured by a shopping center located in Denver, Colorado with a $30.0 million mortgage note secured by the same shopping center. The new mortgage note matures in June 2012 and bears interest at 7.30%. The Company makes monthly principal and interest payments in the amount of $218,000 over the term of the loan and will make the remaining principal payment upon maturity. Net proceeds from the new mortgage loan were used to repay amounts outstanding on the Company’s Revolving Line of Credit.
 
On June 28, 2002, the Company obtained a $20.0 million mortgage note payable secured by a shopping center located in Allentown, Pennsylvania. This loan matures in June 2021 and bears interest at 6.95%. The Company makes monthly principal and interest payments in the amount of $158,000 over the term of the loan. Proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding on the Company’s Revolving Line of Credit.
 
Future Sources and Uses of Funds
 
The Company believes that cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from land sales will be sufficient to fund its required distributions to shareholders, scheduled debt amortization, leasing costs and improvements to the Company’s operating shopping centers.
 
The most significant use of capital for the Company is its development activities. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had 17 projects under construction. The Company expects that the capital required to fund the future costs of these 17 projects, net of estimated construction reimbursements and expected land sales to retailers who will build and own their space in these projects, is approximately $71.0 million. These future costs are expected to be incurred during the remainder of 2002 through 2004. This projected capital requirement includes a number of assumptions, including commitments by anchor and

19


Table of Contents
secondary anchor tenants. If some or all of these tenants do not execute leases, management anticipates that the amount required to finance these projects will be less. In addition, the Company intends to commence construction of other projects in 2002 requiring additional capital during the remainder of 2002 through 2004.
 
The Company expects the sale of all or portions of operating shopping center properties in addition to the sale of various parcels of land adjacent to its operating properties to be a significant source of capital for the Company to fund its development activities. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had three shopping centers under contract to sell for aggregate net proceeds of $11.2 million. The Company is marketing additional shopping centers for sale that are expected to close during the remainder of 2002. Additionally, as of June 30, 2002, the Company had 12 vacant land parcels with an aggregate book value of approximately $7.4 million under contract to sell for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $9.5 million. The closing of these transactions is dependent upon, among other things, completion of due diligence and the ability of some of the purchasers to successfully obtain financing. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any of these transactions will close when expected or at all.
 
The Company also expects to utilize construction loans on certain development projects to help fund its development activities. In 2002, the Company has closed on construction loans on projects in Grandville, Michigan, Mesquite, Texas and, most recently, St. Johns, Missouri, which closed in July 2002. In addition, the Company expects to close another construction loan for net proceeds of $18 million in the third quarter of 2002. Collectively, the construction loans obtained in 2002 are expected to net proceeds of $65.5 million. The ability to close future construction loans is dependent upon a number of factors, including achievement of adequate pre-leasing and satisfaction of any environmental, title or other issues with respect to the underlying real estate.
 
In addition to its operating and development liquidity needs, significant amounts of Company debt will mature in 2002 and 2003. The Secured Credit Agreement ($235.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2002) matures in December 2002. In March 2003, $75.0 million in unsecured notes payable are subject to mandatory tender. In addition, as a result of the loss of its investment grade credit rating, the Company may be required to pay a yield maintenance penalty to the Remarketing Agent of these notes on or before the mandatory tender date. The Company expects to refinance the Secured Credit Agreement prior to its maturity with members of its existing bank group. The Company is evaluating its alternatives with respect to the maturity of the $75.0 million in unsecured notes. The Company expects to repay this unsecured note obligation with anticipated availability under its refinanced line of credit. In order to create availability under the revolving line of credit, the Company may choose one or more of the following options:
 
 
 
The sale of one or more of its development projects;
 
 
 
The sale of additional operating properties;
 
 
 
The closing of additional construction loans on one or more of its development properties;
 
 
 
Establishing a joint venture program for new development activities; or
 
 
 
Reduction in the number and/or dollar volume of new development projects.
 
As previously announced, the Company is continuing to review its various strategic and financing alternatives with the assistance of its financial advisor, Lazard Freres & Co. These alternatives could include merger with another company, sale of assets or stock to another entity, refinancing with debt or equity, various joint venture structures or the continued operation of the Company on an independent basis. There can be no assurance that any strategic or financing transaction, including any merger or sale of the Company, will be consummated, and there is no assurance regarding the terms or conditions, including any consideration that might be received by the Company or its shareholders, in any such transaction.
 
Based on the information above, management believes that the Company will generate funds sufficient to complete its current and future development pipeline and to refinance maturing obligations. However, if the Company is unsuccessful in raising capital adequate to fund its development activities or refinance its maturing debt obligations, it will be required to discontinue the funding of some or all of its projects and will be required to liquidate some or all of its projects or some of its operating assets on

potentially unfavorable terms. These unfavorable terms could result in significant losses upon liquidation and would have an adverse impact on future rental income, FFO and the Company’s ability to continue the level of its current distributions to holders of its common stock.
 
As of June 30, 2002, the Company’s debt requires the following payments in the future:

With respect to maturing obligations beyond 2003, management will evaluate various alternatives and select the best available options based on market conditions at the time. There can be no assurance, however, that the debt or equity capital markets will be favorable or available in the future, and unfavorable or unavailable markets could limit the Company’s ability to continue to operate its business as it has in the past, complete development projects or repay or refinance maturing debt.
 
Derivatives and Market Risk
 
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on its indebtedness, which could impact its financial condition and results of operations. The Company manages its exposure to these market risks through its regular operating and financing activities. The Company manages its ratio of fixed to floating rate debt with the objective of achieving a mix that management believes is appropriate. The Company has and may from time to time in the future enter into interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements in an attempt to hedge its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. Management does not foresee or expect any significant changes in its exposure to interest rate fluctuations or in how such exposure is managed in the near future. The Company intends to use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative or trading purposes.

The Company’s future earnings, cash flows and fair values of financial instruments are primarily dependent upon market rates of interest such as LIBOR.
 
Contingencies
 
See “Contingencies” under Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
 
Inflation
 
The Company’s leases generally contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on net income. These provisions include clauses enabling the Company to pass through to tenants certain operating costs, including real estate taxes, common area maintenance, utilities and insurance, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in certain costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. Certain of the Company’s leases contain clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and, in certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition, many of the Company’s non-anchor leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits the Company to seek increased rents upon re-leasing at higher market rates.
