INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
(a Maryland corporation)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2003
(unaudited)The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited financial statements of Inland Real Estate Corporation (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, which are included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report, as certain footnote disclosures contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from this Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in this quarterly report.
(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting
Inland Real Estate Corporation was formed on May 12, 1994. The Company owns, and may acquire, additional Neighborhood Retail Centers and Community Centers located primarily within an approximate 400-mile radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois. The Company owns, and may also acquire, single-user retail properties located throughout the United States. The Company is also permitted to construct or develop properties, or render services in connection with such development or construction, subject to the Company's compliance with the rules governing real estate investment trusts under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The Company, through a total of four public offerings of common stock, on a best efforts basis, sold a total of 51,642,397 shares of its common stock at prices ranging from $10 to $11 per share. In addition, as of June 30, 2003, the Company had issued 11,720,169 shares through the Company's Distribution Reinvestment Program ("DRP") at prices ranging from $9.05 to $10.45 per share and has repurchased a total of 4,578,588 shares through the Company's Share Repurchase Program at prices ranging from $9.05 to $9.50 per share, for an aggregate cost of $42,552,838. As a result, the Company has realized total offering proceeds of $679,780,643 as of June 30, 2003.
The Company qualified as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Code for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 1995. So long as the Company qualifies for treatment as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
The Company has elected to be taxed, for federal income tax purposes, as a REIT. This election has important consequences for it requires the Company to satisfy certain tests regarding the nature of the revenues it can generate and the distributions that it pays to stockholders. To ensure that the Company qualifies to be taxed as a REIT, the Company determines, on a quarterly basis, that the gross income, asset and distribution tests imposed by the Internal Revenue Code are met. On an ongoing basis, as due diligence is performed by the Company on potential real estate purchases or temporary investment of uninvested capital, the Company determines that the income from the new assets qualifies for REIT purposes.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
June 30, 2003
(unaudited)
In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the period presented herein. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
Certain reclassifications were made to the 2002 financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.
The Company classifies its investment in securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. All securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available for sale. Investment in securities at June 30, 2003 consists of preferred and common stock investments in various real estate investment trusts and are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. Dividend income is recognized when received. Sales of investment securities available-for-sale during the six months ended June 30, 2003 resulted in a gain on sale of $2,299. This gain is included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45") "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34." FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. FIN 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 ("SFAS 148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our results of operations or financial condition because all stock based compensation is recorded at fair value.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for buildings and improvements, 15 years for site improvements and the remaining life of the related lease for tenant improvements.
Acquired above and below market leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related leases as an adjustment to rental income. Acquired leases are amortized over the average lease term as a component of amortization expense.

(2) Joint Ventures
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include, in addition to the accounts of the wholly-owned subsidiaries, the accounts of Inland Ryan, LLC and Inland Ryan Cliff Lake, LLC (Inland Ryan and Inland Ryan Cliff Lake are collectively referred to as the "LLCs"). Due to the Company's ability as managing member to directly control these LLCs, they are consolidated with the Company for financial reporting purposes. The third parties' interests in the LLCs are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2003, the Company and the non-managing members have entered into four amendments to the LLC agreement to reflect various transactions with individual members of Inland Ryan, LLC. In aggregate, these amendments had no effect on the Company's and the non-managing members' interest in Inland Ryan, LLC which remains at approximately 78% and 22%, respectively.
On February 1, 2001, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an LLC agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc. for the acquisition and redevelopment of the Century Consumer Mall in Merrillville, Indiana. The property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of U.S. Route 30 and Broadway in Merrillville, west of Interstate 65. The property currently has one anchor tenant, a 139,451 square foot Burlington Coat Factory store on the south end of the property. On the north end of the property, there is a vacant 148,420 square foot store, previously occupied by Montgomery Wards, which is currently being marketed to new users. In between was 105,000 square feet of enclosed mall space, which has been demolished, as part of the phased redevelopment of the property. The phased redevelopment also calls for construction of 26,000 square feet of new retail space along Route 30, construction of 30,000 square feet of new retail space on the western portion of the property, and construction of up to 104,700 square feet of new open-air retail space between the existing anchors. The first phase of new construction commenced in January 2003 for an 18,000 square foot retail building fronting U.S. Route 30. This building will be anchored by a 4,800 square foot Panera Bread store pursuant to an executed ten year lease. It is anticipated that completion of construction and lease up of this building will occur by the fourth quarter of 2003. Each partner's initial equity contribution was $500,000. The Company is a non-managing member of the LLC and does not exercise control therefore, the Company uses the equity method to account for this venture. Under the equity method, the operations of a joint venture are not consolidated with the operations of the Company but instead are reflected as income or loss from the operations of unconsolidated ventures on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, the Company's net investment in the joint venture is reflected as an asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has the right of first refusal to acquire the property after it is redeveloped. As of June 30, 2003, the Company's allocable share of the income and losses of this venture was netted against its initial investment of $500,000 to net to ($338,371) on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company has committed to lend the LLC up to $17,800,000. The loan bears interest at an initial rate of 9% per annum, paid monthly on average outstanding balances. The loan matures in five years. As of June 30, 2003, the principal balance of this mortgage receivable was $7,879,166.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the interpretation. The interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests obtained in variable interest entities after January 31, 2003. The interpretation is applied to the enterprise no later than the end of the first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The interpretation requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 21, 2003 if it is reasonably possible that the Company will consolidate or disclose information about variable interest entities when the interpretation becomes effective.

As described above, the Company has historically accounted for its investments in joint ventures, where the Company is not the managing member and does not have control, using the equity method of accounting. Management is in the process of analyzing FIN 46 to determine the impact, if any, on the Company's financial statements. The Company's current maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the joint venture is approximately $7,500,000, potentially reduced by $2,500,000, which is guaranteed by Tri-Land Properties, Inc.
(3) Transactions with Related Parties
The Inland Group, Inc., through affiliates, owns approximately 9.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. For accounting purposes however, the Company is not directly affiliated with The Inland Group, Inc., or its affiliates, therefore, the expenses paid to these affiliates of The Inland Group, Inc. are classified as expenses to non-affiliates on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Computer services were purchased at a contract rate of $30 per hour. The Company continues to purchase these services from The Inland Group, Inc. affiliates and for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, these expenses, totaling $415,062 and $281,906, respectively, are included in general and administrative expenses and property operating expenses. Additionally, the Company leases its corporate office space from an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc.

An affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc. is the mortgagee on the Walgreens property, located in Decatur, Illinois. As of June 30, 2003, the remaining balance of the mortgage was $641,786. The loan secured by this mortgage bears interest at a rate equal to 7.65% per annum and matures on May 31, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company paid principal and interest payments totaling $34,133 each period on this mortgage.
On February 1, 2001, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an LLC agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc. for the acquisition and redevelopment of the Century Consumer Mall in Merrillville, Indiana. Richard Dube, the brother-in-law of Mr. Daniel Goodwin, one of the Company's directors, is the president and a principal owner of Tri-Land. Each partner's initial equity contribution was $500,000. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has the right of first refusal to acquire the property after it is redeveloped. As of June 30, 2003, the Company's net investment was ($338,371). In addition, the Company has committed to lend the LLC up to $17,800,000. The loan bears interest at an initial rate of 9% per annum, paid monthly on average outstanding balances.

In May 2003, the Company completed financing transactions which resulted in the Company incurring additional indebtedness of $12,380,000. In connection with obtaining these financings, which are secured by certain of the Company's investment properties, the Company paid a commission for mortgage brokerage services to Cohen Financial in an amount equal to $61,900 (equivalent to one-half of one percent of the principal amount of the indebtedness). The Company anticipates utilizing the services of Cohen Financial in future financing activities. In each case, the Company anticipates paying Cohen Financial a brokerage fee equal to one-half of one percent. Joel D. Simmons, one of the Company's independent directors, is a limited partner of Cohen Financial.
(4) Investment Properties
The Company, from time to time, receives payments under master lease agreements covering spaces vacant at the time of acquisition. The payments range from one to two years from the date of acquisition of the property or until the space is leased and the tenants begin paying rent. GAAP requires the Company to treat these payments as a reduction to the purchase price of the investment properties upon receipt of the payment, rather than as rental income. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had four investment properties, Townes Crossing, located in Oswego, Illinois, Forest Lake Marketplace, located in Forest Lake, Minnesota, Shops at Orchard Place, located in Skokie, Illinois and Mankato Heights, located in Mankato, Minnesota, subject to master lease agreements. The cumulative amount of such payments was $7,106,279 and $6,973,832 through the six months ended June 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002, respectively.
(5) Discontinued Operations
On March 28, 2002, the Company sold, through a qualified tax deferred agent, one of its investment properties, Antioch Plaza, located in Antioch, Illinois, to a third party for $1,818,344, net of closing costs. In conjunction with this sale, the agent repaid indebtedness secured by the property of $875,000. The agent held the net proceeds of $926,000 until July 2002 when the funds were used to partially fund the purchase of an investment property. This sale resulted in a gain on sale of $533,942, for accounting purposes. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Antioch Plaza sale qualified as part of a tax deferred exchange. As a result, the gain is deferred, for federal income tax purposes, until the replacement property is disposed of in a subsequent taxable transaction.
Results of operations for Antioch Plaza for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

(6) Operating Leases
Certain tenant leases contain provisions providing for "stepped" rent increases. GAAP requires the Company to record rental income for the period of occupancy using the effective monthly rent, which is the average monthly rent for the entire period of occupancy during the term of the lease. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include increases of $1,194,454 and $706,706 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, of rental income for the period of occupancy for which stepped rent increases apply and $15,705,227 and $14,510,773 in related accounts and rents receivable as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The Company anticipates collecting these amounts over the terms of the leases as scheduled rent payments are made.
K-Mart, a tenant at three of the Company's investment properties, filed its bankruptcy in January 2002. As of June 30, 2003, two of the stores remained open and one had closed. Of the 109,000 square feet vacated by K-Mart, approximately 45,000 square feet had been released as of June 30, 2003. K-mart completed its bankruptcy reorganization on May 6, 2003. The parent company of Zany Brainy, FAO, Inc. ("Zany Brainy"), a tenant at four of the Company's investment properties, filed its bankruptcy in January 2003. As of the date of this filing, leases at three of these locations have been rejected. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had re-leased two of the vacant spaces and the third space is being held for sale. Zany Brainy completed its bankruptcy reorganization on April 24, 2003. The parent company of Rainbow Foods, Fleming Companies, Inc., a tenant at five of the Company's investment properties, filed its bankruptcy in April 2003. As of the date of this filing, one lease was rejected and the store has closed. The remaining four stores remain open and their lease obligations have been assumed by Roundy's with approval of the bankruptcy court. Eagle Food Centers, Inc., a tenant at three of the Company's investment properties, filed its bankruptcy in April 2003. As of the date of this filing, two of the stores are up for auction through the bankruptcy court. The third store had been sub-leased to Butera Finer Foods prior to Eagle's bankruptcy filing and will remain open. Paper Warehouse, a tenant at two of the Company's investment properties, filed its bankruptcy in June 2003. As of the date of this filing, both stores are expected to remain open. The K-Mart, Zany Brainy, Rainbow Foods, Eagle Food Store and Paper Warehouse locations account for approximately 7% of the Company's total square footage and approximately 5% of its annual rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2003. In conjunction with these bankruptcy filings, the Company has recorded approximately $479,000 as provision for doubtful accounts on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not believe that these bankruptcy filings will cause any of its investment properties to be considered impaired under the requirements of SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."
(7) Mortgages Receivable
On February 1, 2001, the Company entered into an LLC agreement with Tri-Land Properties, Inc. and committed to lend the LLC up to $17,800,000 to fund the initial acquisition and subsequent redevelopment of the property commonly referred to as the Century Consumer Mall, located in Merrillville, Indiana and owned by the LLC. Draws on the loan bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum with interest only paid monthly. The loan is secured by the property and matures on January 31, 2006. As of June 30, 2003, the principal balance of this mortgage receivable was $7,879,166. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has the right of first refusal to acquire the property after it is redeveloped.

INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
(a Maryland corporation)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
June 30, 2003
(unaudited)(a)
In conjunction with the potential sale of Dominick's in Highland Park, the Company has classified this amount as liabilities of assets held for sale on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(b)
The Company received a subsidy at closing totaling approximately $390,000 from the seller to be used over a period of five years, which together with interest earnings on the initial deposit, will provide a sum that will be drawn down on a monthly basis by the Company to reduce the effective interest rate paid on the loan to 7% per annum.
(c)
In May 2003, the Company completed financing transactions which resulted in the Company incurring additional indebtedness of $12,380,000. In connection with obtaining these financings, which are secured by certain of the Company's investment properties, the Company paid a commission for mortgage brokerage services to Cohen Financial in an amount equal to $61,900 (equivalent to one-half of one percent of the principal amount of the indebtedness). The Company anticipates utilizing the services of Cohen Financial in future financing activities. In each case, the Company anticipates paying Cohen Financial a brokerage fee equal to one-half of one percent. Joel D. Simmons, one of the Company's independent directors, is a limited partner of Cohen Financial.
(d)
These loans require payments of principal and interest monthly; all other loans listed are interest only.
(e)
Payments on these mortgages are calculated using a floating rate of interest based on LIBOR.
(f)
On April 3, 2003, the Company exercised its option to convert approximately $10,000,000 of variable rate debt to a market fixed rate at conversion date.
(g)
In conjunction with the potential sale of Zany Brainy and Summit of Park Ridge, the Company has classified $1,245,000 and 1,600,000, respectively, as liabilities of assets held for sale on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(h)
As part of the purchase of the property securing this loan, the Company assumed the existing mortgage-backed Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1994 issued by the Village of Skokie, Illinois. The interest rate on these bonds floats and is reset weekly by a re-marketing agent. The rate at June 30, 2003 was 1.43%. The bonds are further secured by an Irrevocable Letter of Credit, issued by LaSalle Bank at a fee of 1.25% of the principal amount outstanding, paid annually. In addition, the Company is required to pay a re-marketing fee of .125% per annum of the principal amount outstanding, paid quarterly and a trustee fee of $500 also paid quarterly.
(9) Line of Credit
On June 28, 2002, the Company entered into a $100,000,000 unsecured line of credit arrangement with KeyBank N.A. for a period of three years. The funds from this line of credit will be used to purchase additional investment properties. The Company is required to pay interest only on draws under the line at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 375 basis points. The Company is also required to pay, on a quarterly basis, an amount less than 1%, per annum, on the average daily funds remaining under this line. The line of credit requires compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, minimum net worth requirements, distribution limitations and investment restrictions. As of June 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. In connection with obtaining this line of credit, the Company paid fees in an amount totaling approximately $1,500,000 (which includes a one and one-half percent commitment fee). The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $100,000,000 as of June 30, 2003 with an average interest rate of 3.763% per annum.
On May 2, 2003, the Company amended its line of credit agreement with KeyBank N.A. This amendment reduces the interest rate charged on the outstanding balance by 1.25% and extends the maturity to May 2, 2006. In addition, the aggregate commitment of the Company's line was increased by $50,000,000, to a total of $150,000,000. In conjunction with this amendment, the Company paid approximately $750,000 in fees and costs.

(10) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the "commons shares"). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the common shares plus shares issuable upon exercise of existing option or other contracts. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, options to purchase 31,500 and 27,500 shares of common stock, respectively, at exercise prices ranging from $9.05 to $10.45 per share were outstanding. These options were not included in the computation of basic or diluted EPS.
As of June 30, 2003, warrants to purchase 238,939 shares of common stock at a price of $12.00 per share were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of basic or diluted EPS because the warrants exercise price was greater than the market price of common shares, as quoted on the secondary market and, as such, would be anti-dilutive.
As of June 30, 2003, 5,454.45 shares of common stock issued pursuant to employment agreements were outstanding. These shares are excluded from the computation of basic EPS but reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method.
The basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 64,781,518 and 63,868,407 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 64,786,972 and 63,873,861 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
(11) Deferred Stock Compensation
The Company has agreed to issue common stock to certain officers of the Company pursuant to employment agreements entered into with these officers. These agreements became effective January 1, 2002.
As of June 30, 2003, an aggregate of 5,454.45 shares of the Company's common stock, issued at a value of $11.00 per share, comprising an aggregate value of $60,000, were issued pursuant to these agreements. For purposes of determining the fair value, the Company has used the offering price of $11.00 per share, which is the last price at which shares were issued in a public offering, excluding shares issued through the Company's DRP. Under each of the employment agreements each officer vests an equal portion of shares over a five-year vesting period beginning January 1, 2003. Compensation cost of $12,000 was recorded in connection with the issuance of these shares for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
The officers may also receive additional restricted shares of the Company's common stock, which are also subject to a five-year vesting period. The number of these shares is to be determined based upon the future performance of the Company beginning January 1, 2003. No additional shares were issued for the six months ended June, 2003.

(12) Segment Reporting
The Company owns and acquires "Neighborhood Retail Center" and "Community Centers" located primarily within an approximate 400-mile radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, as well as, single-user properties located throughout the United States. The Company currently owns investment properties within the States of Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin. These properties are typically anchored by grocery and drug stores complemented with additional stores providing a wide range of other goods and services.
The Company assesses and measures operating results on an individual property basis for each of its investment properties based on property net operating income. Since all of the Company's investment properties exhibit highly similar economic characteristics, generally have tenants that offer products catering to the day-to-day living needs of individuals, and offer similar degrees of risk and opportunities for growth, the shopping centers have been aggregated and reported as one operating segment.
The property revenues and property net operations are summarized in the following table for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, along with reconciliation to income from operations. Net investment properties and total assets are also presented as of June 30, 2003 and 2002:

(13) Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Company.
Three of the Company's investment properties are located in tax increment financing districts. The Company has agreed to fund any shortfalls in the Tax Increment generated in these districts. At June 30, 2003, the Company does not believe any monies will be due.
(14) Subsequent Events
On July 17, 2003, the Company paid a distribution of $5,019,735 to Stockholders of record as of June 1, 2003.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Examples of factors which could affect our performance are set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2003 under the heading "Investment Considerations."
This section provides a narrative discussion of our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2003 and compares it to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2002 as well as our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. First, we discuss the critical accounting policies that impact the treatment, for financial statement purposes, of certain items such as how we value our investment properties, recognize rental income and depreciate our assets. Next, we discuss the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and how the changes in balance sheet and cash flow items from period to period impact our liquidity and capital resources. Third, we discuss results of operations, including changes in funds from operations from period to period and discuss the impact that inflation may have on our results.
We have elected to be taxed, for federal income tax purposes, as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). This election has important consequences for it requires us to satisfy certain tests regarding the nature of the revenues we can generate and the distributions that we pay to our stockholders. To ensure that we qualify to be taxed as a REIT, we determine, on a quarterly basis, that the gross income, asset and distribution tests imposed by the Internal Revenue Code are satisfied. We also perform due diligence on potential real estate purchases or temporary investment of uninvested capital, to determine that the income from the new assets would qualify for REIT purposes.
We have qualified to be taxed as a REIT since the year ending December 31, 1995. As such, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we satisfy the distribution requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our income will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate tax rates. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, our income may be subject to certain state and local taxes and property and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
The Company electronically files its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The public may read and copy any of the reports that are filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (800)-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site at (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.
The Company makes available, free of charge, through its website, and by responding to requests addressed to our director of investor relations, the annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports. These reports are available as soon as reasonably practical after such material is electronically filed or furnished to the SEC. Our website address is (www.inlandrealestate.com). The information contained on our website, or on other websites linked to our website, is not part of this document.
Critical Accounting Policies
On December 12, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release ("FRR") No. 60 "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies." A critical accounting policy is one that would materially effect our operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgements in certain circumstances. We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to how we value our investment properties, recognize rental income and lease termination income, our cost capitalization and depreciation policies and consolidation/equity accounting policies. These judgements often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The purpose of the FRR is to provide stockholders with an understanding of how management forms these policies. Critical accounting policies discussed in this section are not to be confused with accounting principles and methods disclosed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates. The following disclosure discusses judgements known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties known which were taken into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.
Valuation and Allocation of Investment Properties. On a quarterly basis, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, we conduct an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each property does not exceed its estimated fair value. If this were to occur, we would be required to record an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value.
In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several factors such as projected rental and vacancy rates, property operating expenses, capital expenditures and interest rates. The capitalization rate used to determine property valuation is based on the market in which the property is located, length of leases, tenant financial strength, the economy in general, demographics, environment, property location, visibility, age, physical condition and investor return requirements among others. Additionally, we obtain an appraisal prepared by a third party for every investment property purchased. All of the aforementioned factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property. The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole. Should the actual results differ from management's judgment, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.
We allocate the purchase price of the each acquired investment property between land, building and improvements, other intangibles (including acquired above market leases, acquired below market leases, customer relationships and acquired in place leases) and any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms. In addition, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to the value of customer relationships and as of June 30, 2003, we had not allocated any amounts to customer relationships. The allocation of the purchase price is an area that requires complex judgments and significant estimates. The value allocated to land as opposed to building affects the amount of depreciation expense we record. If more value is attributed to land, depreciation expense would be lower than if more value was attributed to building. We use the information contained in the third party appraisals as the primary basis for allocating the purchase price between land and site improvements. We determine whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar investment properties.
The aggregate value of other intangibles is measured based on the difference between the property valued with existing in place leases adjusted to market rental rates and the property valued as if vacant. We utilize independent appraisals or management's estimates to determine the respective property values. Factors considered by management in our analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, up to 24 months. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
We allocate the difference between the purchase price of the property and the as if vacant value first to acquired above and below market leases. We evaluate each acquired lease based upon current market rates at the acquisition date and consider various factors including geographic location, size and location of leased space within the investment property, tenant profile and the credit risk of the tenant in determining whether the acquired lease is above or below market. After an acquired lease is determined to be above or below market, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to the acquired above or below market lease based upon the present value of the difference between the contractual lease rate and the estimated market rate. The determination of the discount rate used in the present value calculation is based upon a rate for each individual lease and primarily based upon the credit worthiness of each individual tenant. The value of the acquired above and below market leases is amortized over the life of the related leases as an adjustment to rental income.
We then allocate the remaining difference to the value of acquired in place leases and customer relationships based on management's evaluation of specific leases and our overall relationship with the respective tenants. The value of the acquired in place lease is amortized over the average lease term to amortization expense.
The valuation and allocation of the purchase price and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's continuous process of analyzing each property.
Assets Held for Sale. When determining whether to hold an asset for sale, we consider the following criteria; (i) Management has committed to a plan to sell the asset; (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale, in its present condition; (iii) we have initiated a program to locate a buyer; (iv) we believe that the sale of the asset is probable; (v) we are actively marketing the asset for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value; and (vi) actions required for us to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made to the plan.
When the above criteria are met, we hold the asset for sale. On the day that this criteria is met, we suspend depreciation on the assets affected. The assets and liabilities associated with those assets that are held for sale are classified separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the operations for the periods presented are classified on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.
Once a property is held for sale, we are committed to selling the property. If the current offers do not result in the sale of these properties, the Company will continue to actively market them for sale.
Recognition of Rental Income. Under GAAP, we are required to recognize rental income based on the effective monthly rent for each lease. The effective monthly rent is equal to the average monthly rent during the term of the lease, not the stated rent for any particular month. The process, known as "straight-lining" rent generally has the effect of increasing rental revenues during the early phases of a lease and decreasing rental revenues in the latter phases of a lease. Due to the impact of "straight-lining," rental income exceeded the cash collected for such rent by $1,194,454 and $706,706 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. If rental income calculated on a straight-line basis exceeds the cash rent due under the lease, the difference is recorded as an increase in deferred rent receivable and included as a component of rental income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. If the cash rent due under the lease exceeds rental income calculated on a straight-line basis, the difference is recorded as a decrease in deferred rent receivable and is also included as a component of rental income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, we defer recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage/excess rent, until the specified target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. We periodically review the collectability of outstanding receivables. Allowances are taken for tenants with outstanding balances due for a period greater than ninety days and tenants with outstanding balances due for a period less than ninety days but that we believe are potentially uncollectable.
Recognition of Lease Termination Income. We accrue lease termination income if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met and the tenant is no longer occupying the property.
Cost Capitalization and Depreciation Policies. We review all expenditures and capitalize any item exceeding $5,000 deemed to be an upgrade or a tenant improvement. If we capitalize more expenditures, current depreciation expense would be higher, however, total current expenses would be lower. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for buildings and improvements, 15 years for site improvements and the remaining life of the related lease for tenant improvements.
Consolidation/Equity Accounting Policies. We consolidate the operations of a joint venture when we are the managing member, since we are then able to control the joint venture. A third party's interest in a joint venture controlled by us is reflected as minority interest in our consolidated financial statements. In instances where we are not the managing member and do not control the joint venture, we use the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the operations of a joint venture are not consolidated with our operations but instead are reflected as income or loss from the operations of unconsolidated ventures on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, our net investment in the joint venture is reflected as an asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
This section describes our balance sheet and discusses our liquidity and capital commitments. Our most liquid asset is our cash and cash equivalents which consists of cash and short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were $20,963,397 and $21,433,995, respectively. Income generated from our investment properties is the primary source from which we generate cash. Other sources of cash include amounts raised from the sale of securities under our dividend reinvestment program ("DRP"), our draws on the line of credit with KeyBank and proceeds from financings secured by our investment properties. The decrease in our cash from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003, described in more detail below, results from receiving approximately $38,800,000 from operations, while using approximately $44,800,000 in investing activities and receiving approximately $5,600,000 in financing activities.
As of June 30, 2003, we owned interests in 137 investment properties including thirteen unencumbered by any indebtedness. We generally limit our indebtedness to approximately fifty- percent (50%) of the carrying value of our investment properties in the aggregate. The remaining thirteen unencumbered investment properties have a carrying value of approximately $76,000,000 and would therefore yield approximately $38,000,000 in additional cash from financing, using this standard. These 137 investment properties, in the aggregate, are currently generating sufficient cash flow to pay our operating expenses, debt service requirements and distributions equal to $.94 per share on an annualized basis.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $30,287,752 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $38,756,428 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase is due primarily to an increase in rental income and additional rental income of approximately $15,300,000. Conversely, there was an increase of approximately $3,700,000 in property operating expenses. This net increase is primarily due to seventeen additional properties purchased between the six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003. This increase is also due to a decrease in restricted cash related to real estate tax escrows held in accordance with the respective loan agreements, of approximately $2,000,000. Real estate tax escrows increased approximately $290,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to a decrease of approximately $1,700,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. A decrease in restricted cash results in an increase in cash flows from operating activities. This increase is partially offset by a decrease in lease termination income of approximately $90,000. We received lease termination income for three tenants totaling approximately $370,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to approximately $460,000 for one tenant for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This increase is also partially offset by a decrease in interest and dividend income of approximately $1,000,000 and an increase in interest expense of approximately $3,800,000. Cash and cash equivalents generating interest income were approximately $56,000,000 at June 30, 2002 as opposed to approximately $18,000,000 at June 30, 2003. We were also collecting interest income on a loan secured by Thatcher Woods Shopping Center for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The Company exercised its option to purchase Thatcher Woods Shopping Center on April 25, 2002. The increase in interest expense is due to the increase in mortgages payable from approximately $500,000,000 at June 30, 2002 to approximately $590,000,000 at June 30, 2003. This increase is also due to an increase in draws of $75,000,000 on the line of credit with KeyBank N.A. The increase is further offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $600,000. This increase in expense is due primarily to an increase in salary and health insurance expenses of approximately $300,000. This increase is a result of increases in staff, as well as annual increases in salaries. Office rents increased approximately $50,000 and office supplies increased approximately $40,000 due to the expansion of the office space to accommodate the growth of our staff. Cash paid for insurance costs related to workers compensation insurance and directors & officers insurance increased by approximately $60,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we paid approximately $70,000 to implement a telephonic proxy voting system. In addition to the above expenses, we have experienced some increased costs associated with implementing new rules and regulations imposed by the various entities governing our financial statements. These costs include additional training and seminars, as well as increases in accounting fees.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
We used $44,802,227 in cash for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $7,282,413 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary reason for the increase in cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002 was the payoff of the mortgages receivable due to our purchase of Thatcher Woods Shopping Center on April 25, 2002. This increase in cash used is also due to the use of approximately $31,700,000 to purchase three investment properties during the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to using approximately $21,000,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2002. Additionally, we used approximately $8,400,000 for tenant improvements and additions to our investment properties during the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to approximately $3,900,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2002. This increase in cash used was also due to a decrease in cash received for the sale of investment properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we sold two investment properties for approximately $7,900,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we sold a free standing restaurant building, Popeye's, which was part of Calumet Square as well as a piece of vacant land at Townes Crossing for approximately $500,000.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased from $2,675,476 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $5,575,201 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in cash provided is primarily due to receiving approximately $12,400,000 of loan proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $8,000,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2002. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease of $5,000,000 in proceeds from our unsecured line of credit. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we paid off debt totaling approximately $3,900,000. We did not pay off debt during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Results of Operations
This section describes our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. At June 30, 2003, we owned 31 single-user retail properties, 84 Neighborhood Retail Centers and 22 Community Centers. We generate almost all of our net operating income from property operations. In order to evaluate our overall portfolio, management analyzes the operating performance of properties that we have owned and operated for comparable periods. A total of 115 of our investment properties, or "same store" properties, comprising approximately 9.2 million square feet, satisfied this criterion during the periods presented below. The remaining twenty-two investment properties, those that have been acquired, sold or held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are presented as "other investment properties" in the table below. The "same store" investment properties represent approximately 81% of the square footage of our portfolio at June 30, 2003. The following table presents the operating results of the investment properties prior to interest, depreciation, amortization and bad debt expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 along with a reconciliation to income from operations, in accordance with GAAP.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $20,086,022 as compared to $19,956,685 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Net income per share, basic and diluted, was $.31 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to $.31 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 (based on basic weighted average common shares outstanding of 64,781,518 and 63,737,766, respectively and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding of 64,786,972 and 63,743,220, respectively). The changes in net income are described in more detail below.

On a "same store" basis, (comparing the results of operations of the investment properties owned during the six months ended June 30, 2003 with the results of the same investment properties during the six months ended June 30, 2002), property net operating income increased by approximately $650,000 with total revenues increasing by approximately $1,190,000 and total property operating expenses increasing by approximately $540,000. Total rental and additional rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $72,040,338, as compared to $70,849,979 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary reason for this increase was an increase of approximately $14,300,000 in rental and additional rental income received on the properties purchased during 2002. The increase in "same store" income is partially due to the signing of 130 new leases during 2002. This increase is offset by vacancies in these "same store" investment properties. The increase in vacancies was primarily due to the bankruptcy of certain national tenants, most notably, K-Mart, Eagle Food Stores and Zany Brainy, and their subsequent rejection of certain leases at several sites.
K-Mart, a tenant at three of our investment properties, filed its bankruptcy in January 2002. As of June 30, 2003, two of the stores remained open and one had closed. Of the 109,000 square feet vacated by K-Mart, approximately 45,000 square feet had been released as of June 30, 2003. K-mart completed its bankruptcy reorganization on May 6, 2003. The parent company of Zany Brainy, FAO, Inc. ("Zany Brainy"), a tenant at four of our investment properties, filed its bankruptcy in January 2003. As of the date of this filing, leases at three of these locations have been rejected. As of June 30, 2003, we had re-leased two of the vacant spaces and the third space is being held for sale. Zany Brainy completed its bankruptcy reorganization on April 24, 2003. The parent company of Rainbow Foods, Fleming Companies, Inc., a tenant at five of our investment properties, filed its bankruptcy in April 2003. As of the date of this filing, one lease was rejected and the store has closed. The remaining four stores remain open and their lease obligations have been assumed by Roundy's with approval of the bankruptcy court. Eagle Food Centers, Inc., a tenant at three of our investment properties, filed its bankruptcy in April 2003. As of the date of this filing, two of the stores are up for auction through the bankruptcy court. The third store had been sub-leased to Butera Finer Foods prior to Eagle's bankruptcy filing and will remain open. Paper Warehouse, a tenant at two of our investment properties, filed its bankruptcy in June 2003. As of the date of this filing, both stores are expected to remain open. The K-Mart, Zany Brainy, Rainbow Foods, Eagle Food Store and Paper Warehouse locations account for approximately 7% of our total square footage and approximately 5% of our annual rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2003. In conjunction with these bankruptcy filings, we have recorded approximately $479,000 as provision for doubtful accounts on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not believe that these bankruptcy filings will cause any of our investment properties to be considered impaired under the requirements of SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."
We earn interest income on the investment of cash and cash equivalents in short-term instruments pending investment in real estate, as well as, on our mortgage receivable. Interest income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, due to interest received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 for the mortgage receivable for Thatcher Woods Shopping Center. This receivable was paid during the second quarter of 2002. This decrease is also due to a decrease in the cash and cash equivalents held in short term investments.
Bad debt expense increased due to an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2003 was increased from June 30, 2002 due to an increase in tenants with outstanding balances due for a period greater than ninety days and tenants with outstanding balances due for a period less that ninety days but that management believes are potentially uncollectable pursuant to its review of each specific outstanding balance.
Total property operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary reason for this increase was an increase of approximately $4,000,000 in property operating expenses incurred on the properties purchased during 2002. This increase is also due to an increase of approximately $540,000 in property operating expenses incurred on the "same store" investment properties. The primary reasons for the increase in property operating expenses on the "same store" properties was increases in insurance expense and property related legal fees. Insurance expense increased approximately $280,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2002 due to paying higher premiums to insure our investment properties. Property related legal fees increased approximately $100,000 due to legal fees required as a result of the bankruptcy of certain national tenants, most notable, K-Mart and Zany Brainy and their subsequent rejection of certain leases at several sites.
Interest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes approximately $2,100,000 of interest expense on the amounts outstanding relating to draws on the line of credit with KeyBank N.A. and the fees paid on the unused portion of this line. The increase was also due to an increase in the mortgages payable from approximately $500,000,000 at June 30, 2002 to approximately $590,000,000 at June 30, 2003, due to new acquisitions.
Related Party Transactions
The Inland Group, Inc., through affiliates, owns approximately 10% of our outstanding common stock. For accounting purposes however, we are not directly affiliated with The Inland Group, Inc., or its affiliates, therefore, the expenses paid to these affiliates of The Inland Group, Inc. are classified as expenses to non-affiliates on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we purchased various administrative services, such as payroll preparation and management, data processing, insurance consultation and placement, investor relations, property tax reduction services and mail processing from or through affiliates of The Inland Group, Inc. We pay for these services on an hourly basis. The hourly rate is based on the salary of the individual rendering the services, plus a pro rata allocation of overhead including, but not limited to, employee benefits, rent, materials, fees, taxes and operating expenses incurred by each entity in operating their respective businesses. Computer services were purchased at a contract rate of $30 per hour. We continue to purchase these services from The Inland Group, Inc. affiliates and for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, these expenses, totaling $415,062 and $281,906, respectively, are included in general and administrative expenses and property operating expenses. The increase in these expenses is due primarily to the development of a new telephonic proxy voting system, lease payments for the Company's new telephone system and additional computer programming services required by the Company. Additionally we lease our corporate office space from an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc. Payments under this lease for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $115,646 and $70,266, respectively, and are also included in general and administrative expenses.
During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we purchased legal services from attorneys employed by The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Inland Group, Inc. The fees for these services are based on costs incurred by The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc. and are currently purchased at $220 per hour. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we paid $88,438 and $104,612, respectively, for these legal services.
An affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc. is the mortgagee on the Walgreens property, located in Decatur, Illinois. As of June 30, 2003, the remaining balance of the mortgage is $641,786. The loan secured by this mortgage bears interest at a rate equal to 7.65% per annum and matures on May 31, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we paid principal and interest payments totaling $34,133 each period on this mortgage.
On February 1, 2001, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours entered into an LLC agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc. for the acquisition and redevelopment of the Century Consumer Mall in Merrillville, Indiana. Richard Dube, the brother-in-law of Mr. Daniel Goodwin, one of our directors, is the president and a principal owner of Tri-Land. Each partner's initial equity contribution was $500,000. A wholly-owned subsidiary of ours has the right of first refusal to acquire the property after it is redeveloped. As of June 30, 2003, our net investment was ($338,371). In addition, we have committed to lend the LLC up to $17,800,000. The loan bears interest at an initial rate of 9% per annum, paid monthly on average outstanding balances. The loan matures in five years. As of June 30, 2003, the principal balance of this mortgage receivable was $7,879,166.
In May 2003, we completed financing transactions which resulted in incurring additional indebtedness of $12,380,000. In connection with obtaining these financings, which are secured by certain of our investment properties, we paid a commission for mortgage brokerage services to Cohen Financial in an amount equal to $61,900 (equivalent to one-half of one percent of the principal amount of the indebtedness). We anticipate utilizing the services of Cohen Financial in future financing activities. In each case, we anticipate paying Cohen Financial a brokerage fee equal to one-half of one percent. Joel D. Simmons, one of our independent directors, is a limited partner of Cohen Financial.
Joint Ventures
Our accompanying consolidated financial statements include, in addition to the accounts of the wholly-owned subsidiaries, the accounts of Inland Ryan, LLC and Inland Ryan Cliff Lake, LLC (Inland Ryan and Inland Ryan Cliff Lake are collectively referred to as the "LLCs"). Due to our ability as managing member to directly control these LLCs, they are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The third parties' interests in the LLCs are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2003, we have entered into four amendments to the LLC agreement with the non-managing members to reflect various transactions with individual members of Inland Ryan, LLC. In aggregate, these amendments had no effect on our interest or on the non-managing members' interest in Inland Ryan, LLC which remains at approximately 78% and 22%, respectively.
On February 1, 2001, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours entered into an LLC agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc. for the acquisition and redevelopment of the Century Consumer Mall in Merrillville, Indiana. The property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of U.S. Route 30 and Broadway in Merrillville, west of Interstate 65. The property currently has one anchor tenant, a 139,451 square foot Burlington Coat Factory store on the south end of the property. On the north end of the property, there is a vacant 148,420 square foot store, previously occupied by Montgomery Wards, which is currently being marketed to new users. In between was 105,000 square feet of enclosed mall space, which has been demolished, as part of the phased redevelopment of the property. The phased redevelopment also calls for construction of 26,000 square feet of new retail space along Route 30, construction of 30,000 square feet of new retail space on the western portion of the property, and construction of up to 104,700 square feet of new open-air retail space between the existing anchors. The first phase of new construction commenced in January 2003 for an 18,000 square foot retail building fronting U.S. Route 30. This building will be anchored by a 4,800 square foot Panera Bread store pursuant to an executed ten year lease. It is anticipated that completion of construction and lease up of this building will occur by the fourth quarter of 2003. Each partner's initial equity contribution was $500,000. We are a non-managing member of the LLC and do not exercise control therefore, we use the equity method. Under the equity method, the operations of a joint venture are not consolidated with our operations but instead are reflected as income or loss from the operations of unconsolidated ventures on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Additionally, our net investment in the joint venture is reflected as an asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A wholly-owned subsidiary of ours has the right of first refusal to acquire the property after it is redeveloped. As of June 30, 2003, our allocable share of the income and losses of this venture was netted against our initial investment of $500,000 to net to ($338,371) on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we have committed to lend the LLC up to $17,800,000. The loan bears interest at an initial rate of 9% per annum, paid monthly on average outstanding balances. The loan matures in five years. As of June 30, 2003, the principal balance of this mortgage receivable was $7,879,166.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the interpretation. The interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests obtained in variable interest entities after January 31, 2003. The interpretation is applied to the enterprise no later than the end of the first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The interpretation requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 21, 2003 if it is reasonably possible that we will consolidate or disclose information about variable interest entities when the interpretation becomes effective.
As described above, we have historically accounted for our investments in joint ventures, where we are not the managing member and do not have control, using the equity method of accounting. Management is in the process of analyzing FIN 46 to determine the impact, if any, on our financial statements. Our current maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with the joint venture is approximately $7,500,000, potentially reduced by $2,500,000, which is guaranteed by Tri-Land Properties, Inc.
Funds From Operations
We consider "Funds From Operations" or "FFO" for short, a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT that provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as us. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO because management believes that FFO provides a better basis than net income for comparing our performance and operations to those of other REITs. We believe that FFO is a better measure of our operating performance because FFO excludes certain non-cash items from GAAP net income. This allows us to compare our relative property performance to determine our return on capital. Management uses the calculation of FFO for several reasons. FFO is used in certain employment agreements to determine incentives received based on our performance. We also use FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group. Additionally, we use FFO in conjunction with our acquisition policy to determine investment capitalization strategy. The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Items, which are capitalized, do not impact FFO, whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO. Consequently, our presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including our ability to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance. FFO is calculated as follows:

=======
(a)
The Company receives rent from tenants who have vacated but are still obligated under their lease terms which results in economic occupancy ranging from 80% to 100% at June 30, 2003 for each of these centers.
(b)
The Company, from time to time, receives payments under master lease agreements covering spaces vacant at the time of acquisition. The payments range from one to two years from the date of acquisition of the property or until the space is leased and the tenants begin paying rent. GAAP requires the Company to treat these payments as a reduction to the purchase price of the investment properties upon receipt of the payment, rather than as rental income. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had four investment properties, Townes Crossing, located in Oswego, Illinois, Forest Lake Marketplace, located in Forest Lake, Minnesota, Shops at Orchard Place, located in Skokie, Illinois and Mankato Heights, located in Mankato, Minnesota, subject to master lease agreements.
Subsequent Events
On July 17, 2003, the Company paid a distribution of $5,019,735 to Stockholders of record as of June 1, 2003.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As of June 30, 2003 and 2002 we had no derivative instruments. We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will designate these derivative financial instruments as hedges and apply hedge accounting, as the instrument to be hedged will expose us to interest rate risk, and the derivative financial instrument will reduce that exposure. Gains and losses related to the derivative financial instrument would be deferred and amortized over the terms of the hedged instrument. If a derivative terminates or is sold, the gain or loss is deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the derivative. We will only enter into derivative transactions that satisfy the aforementioned criteria.
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of the fact that some of our long-term debt consists of variable interest rate loans. We seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs by closely monitoring our variable rate debt and converting such debt to fixed rates when we deem such conversion advantageous.
Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques, including periodically evaluating fixed interest rate quotes on all variable rate debt and the costs associated with such conversion. Also, existing fixed and variable rate loans which are scheduled to mature in the next year or two are evaluated for possible early refinancing and or extension due to consideration given to current interest rates. The table below presents the principal amount of the debt maturing each year, including monthly annual amortization of principal, through December 31, 2007 and thereafter and weighted average interest rates for the debt maturing in each specified period.

The table above reflects indebtedness outstanding as of June 30, 2003, and does not reflect indebtedness incurred after that date. Our ultimate exposure to interest rate fluctuations depends on the amount of indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates, the time at which the interest rate is adjusted, the amount of the adjustment, our ability to prepay or refinance variable rate indebtedness and hedging strategies used to reduce the impact of any increases in rates.
The fair value of mortgages payable is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The fair value of our mortgages is estimated to be $94,992,000 for mortgages which bear interest at variable rates and $502,545,000 for mortgages which bear interest at fixed rates. We estimate the fair value of our mortgages payable by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to us for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our lenders.
Approximately $94,992,000, or 18% of our mortgages payable at June 30, 2003, have variable interest rates averaging 3.03%. An increase in the variable interest rates charged on mortgages payable containing variable interest rate terms, constitutes a market risk.
