Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
|
|
|
1. Basis of
Presentation
|
|
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements for the six and three months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for
audited financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. The
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007
has been derived from the audited consolidated
financial statements at that date. Operating
results for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2008 or for any other interim
period. For further information, refer to the
audited consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007. |
|
|
|
2. Stock Based
Compensation
|
|
On January 1, 2006, Agree Realty Corporation (the
Company) adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123
(R), Share-Based Payments (SFAS 123R), under
the modified prospective method. Under the
modified prospective method, compensation cost is
recognized for all awards granted after the
adoption of this standard and for the unvested
portion of previously granted awards that are
outstanding as of the adoption date. In
accordance with SFAS 123R, the Company
estimates the fair value of restricted stock and
stock option grants at the date of grant and
amortizes those amounts into expense on a straight
line basis or amount vested, if greater, over the
appropriate vesting period. |
|
|
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2008, there was $3,119,769 of total
unrecognized compensation costs related to the
outstanding restricted shares, which is expected
to be recognized over a weighted average period of
3.40 years. The Company used a 0% discount factor
and forfeiture rate for determining the fair value
of restricted stock. The forfeiture rate was
based on historical results and trends and the
Company does not consider discount rates to be
material. |
|
|
|
|
|
The holder of a restricted share award is
generally entitled at all times on and after the
date of issuance of the restricted shares to
exercise the rights of a shareholder of the
Company, including the right to vote the shares
and the right to receive dividends on the shares. |

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
|
In September 2006, the FASB issued
Statement No. 157. Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157).
This Statement defines fair value,
establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles and
expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. This Statement
applies to accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair value
measurements, except for share-based
compensation transactions under FASB
Statement No. 123 (Revised) Share
Based Payment. This Statement was
effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, except for
non-financial assets and liabilities
for which this Statement will be
effective for years beginning after
November 15, 2008. The Company is
evaluating the effect of
implementing the Statement relating
to such non-financial assets and
liabilities, although the Statement
does not require any new fair value
measurements or remeasurements of
previously reported fair values. |
|
|
|
|
|
In December 2007, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements (SFAS No. 160), an
amendment to Accounting Research
Board No. 51. SFAS No. 160s
objective is to improve the
relevance, comparability |
9
Agree Realty Corporation
|
|
|
|
|
and
transparency of financial
information that a reporting entity
provides in its consolidated
financial statements. The key
aspects of SFAS No. 160 are (i) the
minority interests in subsidiaries
should be presented in the
consolidated balance sheet within
equity of the consolidated group,
separate from the parents
shareholders equity,
(ii) acquisitions or dispositions of
noncontrolling interests in a
subsidiary that do not result in a
change of control should be
accounted for as
equity
transactions, (iii) a parent
recognizes a gain or loss in net
income when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated, measured using the
fair value of the non-controlling
equity investment, (iv) the acquirer
should attribute net income and each
component of other comprehensive
income between controlling and
noncontrolling interests based on
any contractual arrangements or
relative ownership interests, and
(v) a reconciliation of beginning to
ending total equity is required for
both controlling and noncontrolling
interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective
for fiscal years beginning on or
after December 15, 2008 and should
be applied prospectively. We are
currently evaluating the provisions
for SFAS No. 160 to determine the
potential impact, if any, the
adoption will have on our financial
position and results of operations.
In March 2008, the SEC announced
revisions to Topic No. D-98
Classification and Measurement of
Redeemable Securities that provide
interpretive guidance on the
interaction on the interaction
between Topic D-98 and Statement
No.
160.. |
|
|
|
|
|
In December 2007, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 141(R), Business
Combinations (SFAS No. 141).
SFAS No. 141(R) will significantly
change the accounting for business
combinations. Under SFAS
No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will
be required to recognize all the
assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in a transaction at the
acquisition-date fair value with
limited exceptions. SFAS
No. 141(R) will change the
accounting treatment for certain
specific acquisition related items
including: (1) expensing acquisition
related costs as incurred;
(2) valuing noncontrolling interests
at fair value at the acquisition
date; and (3) expensing
restructuring costs associated with
an acquired business. SFAS
No. 141(R) also includes a
substantial number of new disclosure
requirements. SFAS No. 141(R) is to
be applied prospectively to business
combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after
January 1, 2009. We expect SFAS
No. 141(R) will have an impact on
our accounting for future business
combinations once adopted, but we
are still currently assessing the
impact it will have on our
consolidated results of operations
and financial position. |
|
|
|
|
|
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (SFAS No. 161). SFAS
No. 161 requires enhanced
disclosures about an entitys
derivative and hedging
activities. It clarifies (a) how and
why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for under SFAS No.133
and its related interpretations, and
(c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an
entitys financial position,
financial performance, and cash
flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective
for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008. The
Company is currently evaluating the
application of SFAS No. 161 and
anticipates the SFAS No. 161 will
not have an effect on its results of
operations or financial position as
SFAS N. 161 only provides for new
disclosure requirements. |
|
|
|
|
|
In December 2007, the FASB ratified
EITF Issue No. 07-06, Accounting
for the Sale of Real Estate Subject
to the Requirements of FASB
Statement No. 66 When the Agreement
Includes a Buy-Sell Clause
(EITF 07-06). EITF 07-06 requires
companies to determine whether the
terms of the buy-sell clause
indicate that the seller has
transferred the usual risks and
rewards of ownership and does not
have substantial continuing
involvement pursuant to SFAS 66. It
clarifies that a buy-sell clause, in
and of itself, does not constitute a
prohibited form of continuing
involvement that would preclude
partial sales treatment under SFAS
66, but should be evaluated in
consideration of all the relevant
facts and circumstances. EITF 07-06
is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2007.
We do not expect EITF 07-06 to have
a material impact on our financial
position and results of operations. |
10
Agree Realty Corporation
|
|
|
|
|
In May 2008, the FASB issued
Statement No. 162 The Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The current hierarchy
of generally accepted accounting
principles is set forth in the
American Institute of Certified
Accountants (AICPA) Statement of
Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69,
The meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. Statement
No. 162 is intended to improve
financial reporting by identifying a
consistent framework or hierarchy
for selecting accounting principles
to be used in preparing financial
statements that are presented in
conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles for
nongovernmental entities. This
Statement is effective 60 days
following the SECs approval of the
Public Company Oversight Board
Auditing amendments to SAS 69. The
Company is currently evaluating the
application of this Statement but
does not anticipate that the
Statement will have a material
effect on the Companys results of
operations or financial position, as
the Statement does not directly
impact the accounting principles
applied in the preparation of the
Companys financial statements. |
|
|
|
|
|
In June 2008, the FASB ratified FASB
Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-01
Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment
Transactions Are Participating
Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-01).
FSP EITF 03-6-01 addresses whether
instruments granted in share-based
payment transactions are
participating securities prior to
vesting and, therefore, need to be
included in the earnings allocation
in computing earnings per share
(EPS) under the two-class method
of SFAS 128. It clarifies that
unvested share-based payment awards
that contain nonforfeitable right to
dividends or dividend equivalents
(whether paid or unpaid) are
participating securities and shall
be included in the computation of
EPS pursuant to the two-class
method. FSP EITF 03-6-01 is
effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. We do not
expect FSP EITF 06-6-01 to have a
material impact on our computation
of EPS. |
|
|
|
5. Subsequent Event
|
|
In July 2008, the Company obtained a secured term
loan in the amount of $24.8 million. The loan is
collateralized by a first real estate mortgage and
assignment of rents and leases on seven retail
properties, bears interest at 150 basis points over
LIBOR, has a term of five years and can be extended
at our option for an additional two-year period. The
loan requires monthly payments of interest and
principal based on a 25 year amortization. |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
Management has included herein certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). These forward-looking statements represent
our expectations, plans and beliefs concerning future events and may be identified by terminology
such as anticipate, estimate, should, expect, believe, intend and similar
expressions. Although the forward-looking statements made in this report are based on good faith
beliefs, reasonable assumptions and our best judgment reflecting current information, certain
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements,
including but not limited to; the effect of economic and market conditions; risks that our
acquisition and development projects will fail to perform as expected; financing risks, such as
the inability to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable terms; the level and volatility of
interest rates; loss or bankruptcy of one or more of our major retail tenants; a failure of our
properties to generate additional income to offset increases in operating expenses; and other
factors discussed elsewhere in this report and our other reports furnished or filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on our
forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these
forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Overview
Agree Realty Corporation is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate
investment trust (REIT) focused primarily on the ownership, development, acquisition and
management of retail properties net leased to national tenants. In this report, the terms
Company, we, ours and us and similar terms refer to Agree Realty Corporation and its
subsidiaries as the context may require. We were formed in December 1993 to continue and expand
the business founded in 1971 by our current President and Chairman, Richard Agree. We specialize
in developing retail properties for national tenants who have executed long-term net leases prior
to the commencement of construction. As of June 30, 2008, approximately 88% of our annualized
base rent was derived from national tenants. All of our freestanding property tenants and the
majority of our community shopping center tenants have triple-net leases, which require the
tenant to be responsible for property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance and
maintenance. We believe this strategy provides a generally consistent source of income and cash
for distributions.
As of June 30, 2008, our portfolio consisted of 67 properties, located in 16 states containing an
aggregate of approximately 3.4 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA). As of June
30, 2008, our portfolio included 55 freestanding net leased properties and 12 community shopping
centers that were 99.3% leased in aggregate. As of June 30, 2008, approximately 67% of our
annualized base rent was derived from our top three tenants: Borders Group, Inc. 30%;
Walgreen Co. (Walgreens) 25% and Kmart Corporation 12%. During the period July 1, 2008 to
December 31, 2010 we have 45 leases that are scheduled to expire assuming that none of the
tenants exercise renewal options or terminate their leases prior to the contractual expiration
date. These leases represent 508,783 square feet of gross leasable area and $2,896,203 of
annualized base rent.
We expect to continue to grow our asset base primarily through the development of retail
properties that are pre-leased on a long-term basis to national tenants. We focus on development
because we believe, based on the historical returns we have been able to achieve, it generally
provides us a higher return on investment than the acquisition of similarly located properties
and does not entail the risks associated with speculative development. Since our initial public
offering in 1994, we have developed 54 of our 67 properties, including 42 of our 55 freestanding
properties and all 12 of our community shopping centers. As of June 30, 2008, the properties
that we developed accounted for 83.7% of our annualized base rent. We expect to continue to
expand our tenant relationships and diversify our tenant base to include other quality national
tenants.

Agree Realty Corporation
Our assets are held by, and all operations are conducted through, Agree Limited Partnership (the
Operating Partnership), of which Agree Realty Corporation is the sole general partner and held
a 92.05% and 92.01% interest as
of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. We are operating so as to qualify as a REIT
for federal income tax purposes.
The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Agree
Realty Corporation, including the respective notes thereto, which are included in this Form 10-Q.

SFAS No. 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS
No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions.
SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related
items including: (1) expensing acquisition related costs as incurred; (2) valuing noncontrolling
interests at fair value at the acquisition date; and (3) expensing restructuring costs associated
with an acquired business. SFAS No. 141(R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure
requirements. SFAS No. 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which
the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We expect SFAS No. 141(R) will have an
impact on our accounting for future business combinations once adopted, but we are still
currently assessing the impact it will have on our consolidated results of operations and
financial position.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an
entitys derivative and hedging
13

activities. It clarifies (a) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for
under SFAS No.133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is
currently evaluating the application of SFAS No. 161 and anticipates the SFAS No. 161 will not
have an effect on its results of operations or financial position as SFAS N. 161 only provides
for new disclosure requirements.
In December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-06, Accounting for the Sale of Real Estate
Subject to the Requirements of FASB Statement No. 66 When the Agreement Includes a Buy-Sell
Clause (EITF 07-06). EITF 07-06 requires companies to determine whether the terms of the
buy-sell clause indicate that the seller has transferred the usual risks and rewards of ownership
and does not have substantial continuing involvement pursuant to SFAS 66. It clarifies that a
buy-sell clause, in and of itself, does not constitute a prohibited form of continuing
involvement that would preclude partial sales treatment under SFAS 66, but should be evaluated in
consideration of all the relevant facts and circumstances. EITF 07-06 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect EITF 07-06 to have a
material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162 The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The current hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles is set forth in
the American Institute of Certified Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Auditing Standards (SAS) No.
69, The meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Statement No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent
framework or hierarchy for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial
statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
for nongovernmental entities. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SECs approval
of the Public Company Oversight Board Auditing amendments to SAS 69. The Company is currently
evaluating the application of this Statement but does not anticipate that the Statement will have
a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position, as the Statement
does not directly impact the accounting principles applied in the preparation of the Companys
financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-01 Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF
03-6-01). FSP EITF 03-6-01 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment
transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in
the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method of
SFAS 128. It clarifies that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable
right to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities
and shall be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF
03-6-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not
expect FSP EITF 06-6-01 to have a material impact on our computation of EPS.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of
our financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult,
complex or subjective judgments. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been
made with respect to revenue recognition, capitalization of costs related to real estate
investments, potential impairment of real estate investments, operating cost reimbursements, and
taxable income.
Minimum rental income attributable to leases is recorded when due from tenants. Certain leases
provide for additional percentage rents based on tenants sales volumes. These percentage rents
are recognized when determinable by us. In addition, leases for certain tenants contain rent
escalations and/or free rent during the first several months of the lease term; however such
amounts are not material.
14
Agree Realty Corporation
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All costs related to
planning, development and construction of buildings prior to the date they become operational,
including interest and real estate taxes during the construction period, are capitalized for
financial reporting purposes and recorded as property under development until construction has
been completed. Subsequent to the completion of construction, expenditures for property
maintenance are charged to operations as incurred, while significant renovations are capitalized.
Depreciation of the buildings is recorded in accordance with the straight-line method using an
estimated useful life of 40 years.
We evaluate real estate for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through estimated undiscounted future cash
flows from the use of these assets. When any such impairment exists, the related assets will be
written down to fair value.
Substantially all of our leases contain provisions requiring tenants to pay as additional rent a
proportionate share of operating expenses (operating cost reimbursements) such as real estate
taxes, repairs and maintenance, insurance, etc. The related revenue from tenant billings is
recognized in the same period the expense is recorded.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code), commencing with our 1994 tax year. As a result, we are not subject to federal income
taxes to the extent that we distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our
stockholders and satisfy certain other requirements defined in the Code.
In October 2007, we established a taxable REIT subsidiary pursuant to the provisions of the REIT
Modernization Act. Our TRS is able to engage in activities resulting in income that previously
would have been disqualified from being eligible REIT income under the federal income tax
regulations. As a result, certain activities of the Company which occur within its TRS entity
are subject to federal and state income taxes. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had accrued a
deferred income tax amount of $705,000.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
Minimum rental income increased $490,000, or 6%, to $8,133,000 in 2008, compared to $7,643,000 in
2007. The increase was the result of the development of a Walgreens drug store in Livonia,
Michigan in June 2007, the development of a Walgreens drug store in Barnesville, Georgia in
October 2007, the development of a parcel of land located in East Lansing, Michigan in November
2007, the development of a parcel of land located in Plainfield, Indiana, in November 2007, the
development of a Walgreens drug store and a bank land lease in Macomb Township, Michigan in March
2008 and the development of a Walgreen drug store in Ypsilanti, Michigan in May 2008. Our
revenue increase from these developments amounted to $508,000. In addition, rental income from
our Big Rapids, Michigan shopping center decreased by $34,000 as a result of redevelopment
activities.
Percentage rents decreased $2,000, to $-0- in 2008, compared to $2,000 in 2007.
Operating cost reimbursements decreased $72,000, or 10%, to $654,000 in 2008, compared to
$726,000 in 2007. Operating cost reimbursements decreased due to the decrease in property
operating expenses as explained below.
Other income decreased $5,000, to $2,000 in 2008, compared to $7,000 in 2007.
Real estate taxes decreased $16,000, or 3%, to $451,000 in 2008, compared to $467,000 in 2007.
The decrease was the result of general assessment adjustments.
Property operating expenses (shopping center maintenance, snow removal, insurance and utilities)
decreased $77,000, or 18%, to $359,000 in 2008 compared to $436,000 in 2007. The net decrease was
the result of: a decrease in shopping center maintenance costs of ($59,000); an decrease in snow
removal costs of ($21,000); an increase in utility costs of $5,000; and a decrease in insurance
costs of ($2,000) in 2008 versus 2007.
Land lease payments increased $2,000, to $171,000 in 2008, compared to $169,000 for 2007.

Agree Realty Corporation
General and administrative expenses increased by $155,000, or 16%, to $1,130,000 in 2008,
compared to $975,000 in 2007. The increase was the result of increased compensation related
expenses as a result of: an increase in salaries and the value of employee stock awards of
$114,000; an increase in legal and auditing costs of $35,000; an increase in other taxes of
$48,000 and a decrease in property related expenses of ($42,000). General and administrative
expenses as a percentage of total rental income (minimum and percentage rents) increased from
12.3% for 2007 to 13.9% for 2008.
Depreciation and amortization increased $85,000, or 7%, to $1,347,000 in 2008, compared to
$1,262,000 in 2007. The increase was the result of the development of four properties in 2007
and three properties in 2008.
Interest expense increased $88,000, or 8%, to $1,239,000 in 2008, compared to $1,151,000 in 2007.
The increase in interest expense resulted from increased borrowings to fund the development of
the four properties in 2007 and the development of three properties in 2008.
Our income before minority interest increased $175,000, or 4%, to $4,091,000 in 2008 from
$3,916,000 in 2007 as a result of the foregoing factors.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2007
Minimum rental income increased $782,000, or 5%, to $16,112,000 in 2008, compared to $15,330,000
in 2007. The increase was the result of the development of a Walgreens drug store in Livonia,
Michigan in June 2007, the development of a Walgreens drug store in Barnesville, Georgia in
October 2007, the development of a parcel of land located in East Lansing, Michigan in November
2007, the development of a parcel of land located in Plainfield, Indiana, in November 2007, the
development of a Walgreens drug store and a bank land lease in Macomb Township, Michigan in March

Percentage rents decreased $11,000, to $5,000 in 2008, compared to $16,000 in 2007. The decrease
was primarily the result of decreased tenant sales.
Operating cost reimbursements decreased $45,000, or 3%, to $1,437,000 in 2008, compared to
$1,482,000 in 2007. Operating cost reimbursements decreased due to the decrease in property
operating expenses as explained below.
Other income decreased $10,000, to $3,000 in 2008, compared to $13,000 in 2007.
Real estate taxes decreased $9,000, or 1%, to $916,000 in 2008, compared to $925,000 in 2007.

Agree Realty Corporation
Depreciation and amortization increased $146,000, or 6%, to $2,643,000 in 2008, compared to
$2,497,000 in 2007. The increase was the result of the development of four properties in 2007
and three properties in 2008.
Interest expense increased $171,000, or 7%, to $2,499,000 in 2008, compared to $2,328,000 in
2007. The increase in interest expense resulted from increased borrowings to fund the development
of the four properties in 2007 and the development of three properties in 2008.
Our income before minority interest increased $145,000, or 2%, to $7,980,000 in 2008 from
$7,835,000 in 2007 as a result of the foregoing factors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for liquidity are operations, distributions to our stockholders, debt
repayment, development of new properties, redevelopment of existing properties and future
property acquisitions. We intend to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, including
capital expenditures related to the leasing and improvement of the properties, through cash flow
provided by operations and the Line of Credit and the Credit Facility. We believe that adequate
cash flow will be available to fund our operations and pay dividends in accordance with REIT
requirements for at least the next 12 months. We may obtain additional funds for future
development or acquisitions through other borrowings or the issuance of additional shares of
common stock. We intend to incur additional debt in a manner consistent with our policy of
maintaining a ratio of total debt (including construction and acquisition financing) to total
market capitalization of 65% or less. As of June 30, 2008, our ratio of indebtedness to market
capitalization was approximately 49%. We believe that these financing sources will enable us to
generate funds sufficient to meet both our short-term and long-term capital needs.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share. We
paid the dividend on July 15, 2008 to holders of record on June 30, 2008.
As of June 30, 2008, we had total mortgage indebtedness of $44,407,947 with a weighted average
interest rate of 6.64%. This mortgage debt is all fixed rate debt.
In addition, the Operating Partnership has in place a $55 million credit facility (the Credit
Facility) with Bank of America, as the agent, which is guaranteed by the Company. The Credit
Facility matures in November 2009 and can be extended at our option, subject to specified
conditions, for two additional one-year periods. Advances under the Credit Facility bear
interest within a range of one-month to twelve-month LIBOR plus 100 basis points to 150 basis
points or the lenders prime rate, at our option, based on certain factors such as the ratio of
our indebtedness to the capital value of our properties. The Credit Facility generally is used
to fund property acquisitions and development activities. As of June 30, 2008, $44,000,000 was
outstanding under the Credit Facility bearing a weighted average interest rate of 4.63%.
We also have in place a $5 million line of credit (the Line of Credit), which matures in
November 2009 and can be extended at our option, subject to specified conditions, for two
additional one-year periods. The Line of Credit bears interest at the lenders prime rate less
75 basis points or 150 basis points in excess of the one-month to twelve-month LIBOR rate, at our
option. The purpose of the Line of Credit is generally to provide working capital and fund land
options and start-up costs associated with new projects. As of June 30, 2008, $3,750,000 was
outstanding under the Line of Credit bearing a weighted average interest rate of 4.25%.
In July 2008, the Company obtained a secured term loan in the amount of $24.8 million. The loan
is collateralized by a first real estate mortgage and assignment of rents and leases on seven
retail properties, bears interest at 150 basis points over LIBOR, has a term of five years and
can be extended at our option for an additional two-year period. The loan requires monthly
payments of interest and principal based on a 25-year amortization. Proceeds from the term loan
were utilized to pay amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility.

At June 30, 2008 we had three development projects under construction that will add an additional
29,370 square feet of GLA to our portfolio. The projects are expected to be completed during the
third and fourth quarters of 2008. Additional funding required to complete the projects is
estimated to be $5,654,000, which is not reflected in the table above, and will be funded through
advances under the Credit Facility.
We plan to begin construction of additional pre-leased developments and may acquire additional
properties, which will initially be financed by the Credit Facility and Line of Credit. We will
periodically refinance short-term construction and acquisition financing with long-term debt
and/or equity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or
financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities.
Inflation
Our leases generally contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on
net income. These provisions include clauses enabling the us to pass through to tenants certain
operating costs, including real estate taxes, common area maintenance, utilities and insurance,
thereby reducing the our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from
inflation. Certain of our leases contain clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on
tenants gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and, in certain cases, escalation
clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition,
expiring tenant leases permit us to seek increased rents upon re-lease at market rates if rents
are below the then existing market rates.
Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations (FFO) is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) to mean net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or
losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a
supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations
associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of our operating
performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP
implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since
real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management
believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical
cost accounting is insufficient by itself.
18
Agree Realty Corporation
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of our
operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, while
we adhere to the NAREIT definition of FFO,
our presentation of FFO is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs
due to the fact that not all REITs use the same definition.
The following table provides a reconciliation of FFO and net income for the three and six months

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through borrowing activities. There is inherent
roll-over risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent
of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest
rates and our future financing requirements.
19
Agree Realty Corporation
Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the
principal payments (in thousands) and the weighted average interest rates on outstanding debt, by
year of expected maturity, to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate
changes.

The fair value (in thousands) is estimated at $44,934 and $47,750 for fixed rate debt and
variable rate debt, respectively, as of June 30, 2008.
The table above incorporates those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2008; it does not consider
those exposures or positions, which could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate
realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures
that arise during the period and interest rates.
We do not enter into financial instrument transactions for trading or other speculative purposes
or to manage interest rate exposure.
As of June 30, 2008, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates on the portion of our debt
bearing interest at variable rates would result in an annual increase in interest expense of
approximately $478,000.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
At December 31, 2007, management identified the following material weakness in our internal
controls:
|
|
We lack segregation of duties in the period-end financial reporting process. Our chief
financial officer is the only employee with any significant knowledge of generally accepted
accounting principles. The chief financial officer is also the sole employee in charge of
the general ledger (including the preparation of routine and non-routine journal entries and
journal entries involving accounting estimates), the preparation of accounting
reconciliations, the selection of accounting principles, and the preparation of interim and
annual financial statements (including report combinations, consolidation entries and
footnote disclosures) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. |
We, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on this evaluation as of June 30, 2008, and due to the material weaknesses in our internal
control over financial reporting as described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified by the SEC.
Our audit committee has engaged independent third party consultants to perform periodic reviews
of our financial reporting closing process to help mitigate the material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting. There

was no change in our internal control over financial
reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
