INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2008 (unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share data and square footage amounts)
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of Inland Real Estate Corporation (the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2007, which are included in the Company's 2007 Annual Report, as certain footnote disclosures contained in such audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted from this Report on Form 10-Q. 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
The Company was formed on May 12, 1994 and collectively with its consolidated entities, is a publicly held real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns, operates and develops (directly or through its unconsolidated entities) retail shopping centers.
The Company has qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it meets the requirements of the tests imposed by the Code. 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, property or net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
The Company engages in certain activities through Inland Venture Corporation (IVC), a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS). As such, the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities.
The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as defined by FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 as of June 30, 2008. The Company expects no significant increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits due to changes in tax positions within one year of June 30, 2008. The Company has no interest or penalties relating to income taxes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 or in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, returns for the calendar years 2004 through 2007 remain subject to examination by U.S. and various state and local tax jurisdictions.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
Certain reclassifications were made to the 2007 financial statements to conform to the 2008 presentation but have not changed the results of prior year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint ventures. These entities are consolidated because the Company is either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or has substantial influence and controls the entity. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses or residual returns. The third parties' interests in these consolidated entities are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(In thousands, except per share data and square footage amounts)
The Company considers all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements purchased with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposits in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. However, the Company does not believe the risk is significant.
The Company capitalizes interest costs related to construction in progress and considers both interest paid on debt obtained to fund the project and the interest cost incurred during the period that could have been avoided. The Company has recorded approximately $706 and $805 of capitalized interest related to certain of its development joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
On a quarterly basis, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, the Company reviews impairment indicators and if necessary conducts an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each property does not exceed its estimated fair value. The Company evaluates its investment properties to assess whether any impairment indicators are present, including recurring operating losses and significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate. If an investment property is considered impaired, a loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $666 related to an 86,004 square foot neighborhood retail center located in Madison, Wisconsin. No such losses were required or recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Tenants required to pay a security deposit under their lease with the Company have paid either in cash or by posting letters of credit. The letters of credit are not recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company held letters of credit for tenant security deposits totaling approximately $715 and $1,120, respectively.
A mortgage receivable is considered impaired in accordance with SFAS No. 114: "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." Pursuant to SFAS No. 114, a mortgage receivable is impaired if it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest contractually due. The impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the notes effective interest rate. The Company does not accrue interest when a note is considered impaired. When ultimate collectability of the principal balance of the impaired note is in doubt, all cash receipts on the impaired note are applied to reduce the principal amount of the note until the principal has been recovered and are recognized as interest income thereafter. Based upon the Companys judgement, no mortgages receivable were impaired as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Recent Accounting Principles
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 ("SFAS 157"), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions under SFAS 123R. The Company was required to apply the guidance of SFAS 157 beginning January 1, 2008. However, in November 2007 the effective date of SFAS 157 as it relates to fair value measurement requirements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis was deferred for one year. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, ("SFAS 159"), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities (as well as certain non-financial instruments that are similar to financial instruments) at fair value. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, SFAS 159 specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has elected not to adopt the fair value option for any such financial assets and liabilities.
The FASB has issued proposed FASB Staff Position No. APB-14a, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (the proposed FSP) that would require, if ratified, separate accounting for the debt and equity components of convertible instruments. The proposed FSP would require that the value assigned to the debt component would be the estimated fair value of a similar bond without the conversion feature, which would result in the debt being recorded at a discount. The debt would subsequently be accreted to its par value over its expected life with a rate of interest being reflected in earnings that reflects the market rate at issuance. The proposed FSP, if ratified in the form expected, would be effective January 1, 2009 and would be applied retrospectively to both new and existing convertible instruments, including the convertible notes that we issued in November 2006, and would result in us recognizing approximately $2,250 of additional interest expense per annum.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R ("SFAS 141R"), Business Combinations, which requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at "full fair value." Under SFAS 141R, all business combinations will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method. SFAS 141R is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of SFAS 141R.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 ("SFAS 160"), Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 will require noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of permanent equity. In addition, the statement applies to the accounting for noncontrolling interests and transactions with noncontrolling interest holders in consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of SFAS 160.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 133). SFAS 161 will require entities to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 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 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of SFAS 161.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162 (SFAS 162), The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). Under SFAS 162, the FASB is responsible for identifying the sources of accounting principles and providing entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The FASB believes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and is issuing this Statement to achieve that result. The FASB does not expect that this Statement will result in a change in current practice. However, transition provisions have been provided in the unusual circumstance that the application of the provisions of this Statement results in a change in practice. This Statement shall be effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight FASB (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Investment Securities
Investment in securities at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 consist of preferred and common stock investments that are classified as available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value. The Company acquires stock on margin. The margin loan is subject to separate terms and conditions. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the loan balances were $7,388 and $10,047, respectively, and are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
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. The Company has recorded a net unrealized loss of $2,545 and $4,253 on the accompanying consolidated balances sheets as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Sales of investment securities available-for-sale during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 resulted in gains on sale of $944 and $70, respectively, which are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Dividend income is recognized when earned.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $2,510 and $105, respectively, with respect to our investment in securities. Due to various factors, including the extent and duration during which the market price had been below cost, the Company concluded the decline in value was other than temporary as defined by SFAS no. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as amended. The impairment is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. The Company evaluates its investments for impairment quarterly. If the Company concludes that an investment is other than temporary, it will recognize an impairment charge at that time.
Gross unrealized losses on investment securities and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at June 30, 2008 were as follows:

(a)
The profit/loss allocation percentage is allocated after the calculation of the Company's preferred return.
The Company's proportionate share of the earnings or losses related to these ventures is reflected as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Additionally, the Company earns fees for providing property management, leasing and acquisition activities to these ventures. The Company recognizes only its share of these fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company earned $1,433 and $2,449, respectively in fee income from its unconsolidated joint ventures, as compared to $475 and $1,131 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. These fees are reflected on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income as fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures.
The operations of properties contributed to the joint ventures by the Company are not recorded as discontinued operations because of the Company's continuing involvement with these shopping centers. Differences between the Company's investment in the joint ventures and the amount of the underlying equity in net assets of the joint ventures are due to basis differences resulting from the Company's equity investment recorded at its historical basis versus the fair value of certain of the Company's contributions to the joint venture. Such differences are amortized over depreciable lives of the joint venture's property assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $730 and $707, respectively, of amortization of this basis difference.
The Company guarantees certain portions of joint venture debt. In accordance with FIN 45, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of these guarantees and record a corresponding liability. The Company has determined that the fair value of such guarantees are immaterial as of June 30, 2008 and have not recorded a liability related to these guarantees on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company's joint venture with TMK Development, sold a parcel of land to a third party for approximately $1,523. The joint venture recorded a gain on sale of approximately $722. The Company's pro rata share of this gain, including its preferred return, is $425, which is reflected in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company's joint venture with North American Real Estate, sold a parcel of land to a third party for approximately $2,443. The joint venture recorded a gain on sale of approximately $256. The Company's pro rata share of this gain, including its preferred return, is $256, which is reflected in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The Company recorded 100 percent of the gain since the total gain was less than the preferred return due.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company acquired one investment property on behalf of its joint venture with IREX and contributed one investment property to this joint venture. As of June 30, 2008, the joint venture had sold all but two properties acquired in 2007 to TIC investors. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company earned acquisition and management fees from this venture which are included in fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Additionally, in conjunction with the sales to the TIC investors, the Company recorded gains of approximately $128 and $782, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, which are included in gain on sale of joint venture interests on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. No such gains were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
The Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The Company may designate these derivative financial instruments as hedges and apply hedge accounting, as the instrument to be hedged will expose it to interest rate risk, and the derivative financial instrument will reduce that exposure. Certain of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures entered into interest rate swap contracts to limit their exposure to variable interest rates. These derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges and therefore qualify for hedge accounting. The effective portion of the derivatives gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately.
The Company recorded its pro rata share of unrealized losses in the amount of $21 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as well as its pro rata share of unrealized gains in the amount of $367 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, which is included as a component of other comprehensive income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income and as a component of investments in and advances to joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. No such losses were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The following table presents pertinent information related to these interest rate swap contracts.

Fair Value Disclosures
The Company's valuation of marketable securities, which are considered to be available-for-sale, utilize unadjusted quoted prices determined by active markets for the specific securities the Company has invested in, and therefore fall into Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company's valuation of its derivative instruments are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward curves.

Mortgages Receivable
On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a buy-out and restructuring agreement, which amended the previous LLC agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc., dated February 1, 2001. The Company continued to be a lender to the wholly owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc. for this redevelopment project. The Company agreed to lend Tri-Land Properties, Inc. up to $21,500, plus accrued interest. Draws on the loan bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum, with 5.5% to be paid currently and the remaining 3% to be accrued, with no additional interest, and paid upon maturity. The loan matured on June 30, 2008. The loan was secured by the investment property and Tri-Land Properties, Inc. had guaranteed $1,000 of this mortgage receivable. The Company received the entire balance of the mortgage receivable and accrued interest upon maturity. The Company recorded a gain of $3,193 upon repayment of the outstanding balance. This gain was the result of the sale of the Company's equity investment related to the previous joint venture agreement and had been deferred as the Company did not qualify for gain recognition due to the lack of initial investment and continuing involvement. The gain is included in gain on sale of joint venture interest on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Additionally, the Company recorded $887 and $757 of interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
(6)
Transactions with Related Parties
During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company purchased various administrative services, such as payroll preparation and management, data processing, insurance consultation and placement, property tax reduction services and mail processing from, or through, affiliates of The Inland Group, Inc. The Company pays 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 $70 per hour and $80 per hour for consulting fees. The Company continues to purchase these services from The Inland Group, Inc. and its affiliates and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, these payments totaled $1,089 and $731 respectively. Additionally, the Company leases its corporate office space from an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc. Payments under this lease for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $205 and $170, respectively and are included in general and administrative expenses. The Inland Group, Inc., through affiliates, owns approximately 12.1% 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.

On August 12, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Inland Investment Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc. to manage its investment in securities. The Company pays a fee of up to one percent per annum on the net asset value under management. The Company paid approximately $109 and $80 for these services during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
In May 2005, the Company acquired a 1% interest in The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. for a purchase price of $1. The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. provides assistance in the marketing of the Company's investment properties and provides representation at various trade shows and conventions.
In June and September 2006 and July 2007, the Company entered into joint venture agreements with North American Real Estate, Inc ("NARE") to acquire and develop vacant land located in North Aurora, Illinois. One of our directors, Joel Simmons, is a minority partner in the entity that NARE formed to be the partner in this venture. Mr. Simmons will receive his pro rata share of NARE's earnings from this venture and is not entitled to preferred distributions.
On September 5, 2006, IVC, a TRS previously formed by the Company, entered into a limited liability company agreement with IREX, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Inland Group, Inc. The resulting joint venture was formed to facilitate IVC's participation in tax-deferred exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code using properties made available to the joint venture by IVC. The Company executed a joinder to the joint venture agreement, agreeing to perform certain expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations thereunder. IVC will coordinate the joint venture's acquisition, property management and leasing functions, and will earn fees for services provided to the joint venture, including management and leasing fees, as well as acquisition fees, which will be split equally between IVC and IREX.
The Company is a member of a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive (the "Captive"), which is owned in equal proportions by the Company and two other related REITs sponsored by an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc., Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. and Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. The Captive is serviced by Inland Risk and Insurance Management, Inc., also an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc. The Captive was formed to initially insure/reimburse the members' deductible obligations for the first $100 of property insurance and $100 of general liability insurance. The Company entered into the Captive to stabilize its insurance costs, manage its exposures and recoup expenses through the functions of the captive program. This entity is considered to be a VIE as defined in FIN 46R and the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary. This investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Discontinued Operations
During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company sold a total of five investment properties. For federal and state income tax purposes, certain of our sales qualified as tax deferred exchanges and, as a result, the tax gains are deferred until the replacement properties are disposed of in subsequent taxable transactions. The proceeds from these sales were deposited with a qualified tax deferred exchange agent with the intent of using these proceeds for future acquisitions and would be included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the properties sold, date of sale, approximate sales proceeds, net of closing costs, gain on sale and whether the sale qualified as part of a tax deferred exchange.

If the Company determines that an investment property meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, it suspends depreciation on the assets held for sale, including depreciation for tenant improvements and additions, as well as on the amortization of acquired in-place leases and customer relationship values. The assets and liabilities associated with those assets would be classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period. As of June 30, 2008, there were no properties classified as held for sale.
On the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has recorded $77 and $429, respectively of assets related to discontinued operations and $141 and $304, respectively of liabilities related to discontinued operations. These amounts are reflected as a component of other assets and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company has recorded income from discontinued operations of $303 and $1,223, respectively, including gains on sale of $517 and $1,348. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded income from discontinued operations of $1,406 and $1,517, respectively, including gains on sale of $1,223 for each period.
(8)
Operating Leases
Certain tenant leases contain provisions providing for "stepped" rent increases. U.S. 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 an increase of $142 and a decrease of $784, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, of rental income for the period of occupancy for which stepped rent increases apply and $18,430 and $18,288 in related accounts and mortgage receivable as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company anticipates collecting these amounts over the terms of the leases as scheduled rent payments are made.
(9)
Mortgages Payable
Mortgage loans outstanding as of June 30, 2008 were $562,830 and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.06%. Of this amount, $504,988 had fixed rates ranging from 3.99% to 9.25% and a weighted average fixed rate of 5.22% as of June 30, 2008. The remaining $57,842 of mortgage debt represented variable rate loans with a weighted average interest rate of 3.64% as of June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, scheduled maturities for the Companys outstanding mortgage indebtedness had various due dates through January 2018. The majority of the Companys mortgage loans require monthly payments of interest only, although some loans require principal and interest payments, as well as reserves for taxes, insurance and certain other costs.
The table below presents the principal amount of mortgages maturing each year, including monthly annual amortization of principal, through December 31, 2012 and thereafter, based on mortgages outstanding at June 30, 2008 and weighted average interest rates for the mortgages maturing in each specified period.

Line of Credit
On April 22, 2008, the Company completed a third amendment to its line of credit with KeyBank NA. The aggregate commitment of the Company's line is $300,000, which includes a $145,000 accordion feature, and matures on April 22, 2011. The Company pays interest only on draws under the line at the rate equal to 120 165 basis points over LIBOR. 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. In conjunction with this amendment, the Company paid approximately $1,000 in fees and costs. The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $85,000 and $100,000 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
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, 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Convertible Notes
On November 13, 2006, the Company issued $180,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.625% convertible senior notes due 2026, which included the exercise by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase an additional $10,000 to cover over-allotments.
Interest on the notes is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year beginning May 15, 2007. The notes mature on November 15, 2026 unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to that date. The earliest date these notes can be redeemed by holders is November 15, 2011. Prior to November 21, 2011, the Company may not redeem the notes prior to the date on which they mature except to the extent necessary to preserve its status as a REIT. However, on or after November 21, 2011, the Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, subject to the redemption terms in the note. Following the occurrence of certain change in control transactions, the Company may be required to repurchase the notes in whole or in part for cash at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest. At June 30, 2008, the Company has recorded $1,064 of accrued interest related to the convertible notes. This amount is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2008.
Holders may convert their notes into cash or a combination of cash and common stock, at the Companys option, at any time on or after October 15, 2026, but prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding November 15, 2026, and also following the occurrence of certain events. Subject to certain exceptions, upon a conversion of notes the Company will deliver cash and shares of our common stock, if any, based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day of the relevant 30 day trading period. The conversion rate as of June 30, 2008, for each $1 principal amount of notes was 48.2824 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. This is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $20.71 per share of common stock.

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 "common shares"). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the common shares plus shares issuable upon exercise of existing options or other contracts.

As of June 30, 2008, 69 shares of common stock issued pursuant to employment agreements were outstanding, of which 34 have vested. Additionally, the Company issued 40 shares pursuant to employment incentives of which 15 have vested and two have been cancelled. The unvested shares are excluded from the computation of basic EPS but reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, options to purchase 45 and 37 shares of common stock, respectively, at exercise prices ranging from $10.45 to $19.96 per share were outstanding. During the year ended December 31, 2007, options to purchase 6 shares were exercised by certain independent directors. There were no options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2008. These options were not included in the computation of basic or diluted EPS as the effect would be immaterial. Convertible notes are included in the computation of diluted EPS using the if-converted method, to the extent the impact of conversion is dilutive.
The basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 65,839 and 65,109 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 65,899 and 65,179 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The share price of the issued shares is determined by averaging the high and low selling price on the date of issue, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange. Prior to 2004, the share value was determined to be equal to the last price at which the Company sold shares, prior to its listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Each officer vests an equal portion of shares over a five-year vesting period, beginning one year from the date of issuance of the award. The officers may 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. Salary expense of $132 and $218 were recorded in connection with the vesting of these shares, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company assesses and measures operating results on an individual property basis for each of its investment properties based on property net operating income. Management internally evaluates the operating performance of the properties as a whole and does not differentiate properties by geography, size or type. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 131: Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, each of the Companys investment properties is considered a separate operating segment. However, under the aggregation criteria of SFAS No. 131 and as clarified in EITF Issue No. 14-10: Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments that Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds, the Companys properties are considered one reportable segment.
(15)
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. 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.

The Company funded the remaining purchase price with a draw on our line of credit and using cash and cash equivalents. The office properties comprise a total of 839,808 square feet of space and are located in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Maryland and New Mexico.
On July 17, 2008, the Company paid a cash distribution of $0.08167 per share on the outstanding shares of its common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2008.

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. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical, including statements regarding management's intentions, beliefs, expectations, representations, plans or predictions of the future and are typically identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "may," "will," "should" and "could." The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those set forth in the 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, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2008, under the heading "Risk Factors."
Data in this section is presented in thousands, except per share data and square footage data.
This section provides the following:
·
an executive summary and our strategies and objectives;
·
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;
·
a discussion of our 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; and
·
a discussion of our results of operations, including changes in Funds From Operations ("FFO") from year to year and a discussion of the impact that inflation may have on our results.
We have qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 1995. So long as we qualify for treatment as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we meet the requirements of the tests imposed by the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income, property or net worth and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we engage in certain activities through Inland Venture Corporation (IVC), a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS). As such, we are subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities.
We had no unrecognized tax benefits as defined by FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 as of June 30, 2008. We expect no significant increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits due to changes in tax positions within one year of June 30, 2008. We have no interest or penalties relating to income taxes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 or in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, returns for the calendar years 2004 through 2007 remain subject to examination by U.S. and various state and local tax jurisdictions.
Executive Summary
We are an owner/operator of neighborhood, community, power, lifestyle and single tenant retail centers. We are a self-administered REIT incorporated under Maryland law. We also may construct or develop properties or render services in connection with such development or construction. As of June 30, 2008, we owned interests in 146 investment properties, including those owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures.
20
Essentially all of our revenues and cash flows are generated by collecting rental payments from our tenants and from fee income received from our unconsolidated joint ventures. One of our main goals is to continue increasing our revenues by acquiring additional investment properties and re-leasing those spaces that are vacant, or may become vacant, at existing properties, at more favorable rental rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we executed 28 new, 95 renewal and six non-comparable leases (new, previously unleased space), aggregating approximately 753,000 square feet on our wholly-owned portfolio. The 28 new leases comprise approximately 153,000 square feet with an average rental rate of $12.70 per square foot, a 22.6% increase over the average expiring rate. The 95 renewal leases comprise approximately 515,000 square feet with an average rental rate of $11.48 per square foot, an 11.0% increase over the average expiring rate. The six non-comparable leases comprise approximately 85,000 square feet with an average base rent of $6.98. During 2008, there are 109 leases expiring in our wholly-owned portfolio, which comprise approximately 346,000 square feet and account for approximately $5,058, or 3.8%, of our annualized base rent. We will attempt to renew or re-lease these spaces at more favorable rental rates to provide increased cash flows.
We believe we have significant acquisition opportunities due to our reputation and our concentration of properties in the Chicago and Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan areas. We will use cash provided by our Dividend Reinvestment Plan, draws on our line of credit and earnings we retain that are not distributed to our stockholders to purchase additional investment properties and make investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures.
Our largest expenses relate to the operation of our properties as well as the interest expense on our mortgages payable and other debt obligations. Our property operating expenses include, but are not limited to, real estate taxes, regular maintenance, landscaping, snow removal and periodic renovations to meet tenant needs. Pursuant to the lease agreements, tenants of the property are required to reimburse us for some or all of the particular tenant's pro rata share of the real estate taxes and operating expenses of the property.
We consider FFO a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to that of other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, 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 ours. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating 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. Management uses the calculation of FFO for several reasons. We use FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group. Additionally, FFO is used in certain employment agreements to determine incentives payable by us to certain executives, based on our performance. The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Items that 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance.
We believe EBITDA is useful to us and to an investor as a supplemental measure in evaluating our financial performance because it excludes expenses that we believe may not be indicative of our operating performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings (losses) from operations, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income tax benefit or expenses; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) gains (losses) on non-operating property. By excluding interest expense, EBITDA measures our financial performance regardless of how we finance our operations and capital structure. By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, we believe we can more accurately assess the operating performance of our portfolio. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges such as interest expense and taxes and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, it neither reflects the amount of capital needed to maintain our properties nor reflects trends in interest costs due to changes in interest rates or increases in borrowing. EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net earnings and may be calculated differently by other equity REITs.
We look at several factors to measure our operating performance:
To measure our operating results to those of other retail real estate owners/operators in our area, we compare:
21
·
occupancy percentage; and
·
our rental rates to the average rents charged by our competitors in similar centers.
To measure our operating results to those of other REITs, we compare:
·
company-wide growth in income or FFO;
·
same store growth in income; and
·
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of investment in properties.
Based on the above measures, we have historically performed comparably with those in our property sector peer group.
Strategies and Objectives
Our primary business objective is to enhance the performance and value of our investment properties through management strategies that address the needs of an evolving retail marketplace. Our success in operating our centers efficiently and effectively is, we believe, a direct result of our expertise in the acquisition, development/re-development, either directly or through a joint venture, management and leasing of our properties. We focus on the following areas in order to achieve our objectives:
Acquisitions:
·
We seek to selectively acquire well located open air retail centers.
·
We acquire properties either without financing contingencies or by assuming existing debt to provide us with a competitive advantage over other potential purchasers requiring financing or financing contingencies.
·
We concentrate our property acquisitions in areas where we have a large market concentration. In doing this, we believe we are able to attract new retailers to the area and possibly lease several locations to them. Additionally, we are able to get existing retailers to lease more space at our current investment properties.
Joint Ventures:
·
We actively pursue new development opportunities through joint ventures with established local developers.
·
We have formed joint ventures to acquire stabilized retail properties as well as properties to be redeveloped and vacant land to be developed. We earn fees from the joint ventures by providing property management, acquisition and leasing services.
·
We have formed a joint venture to acquire properties that will ultimately be sold through an offering of tenant-in-common interests in properties to investors. We earn fees from the joint venture by providing property management, acquisition and leasing services.
Operations:
·
We actively manage costs to minimize operating expenses by centralizing all management, leasing, marketing, financing, accounting and data processing activities.
·
We improve rental income and cash flow by aggressively marketing rentable space.
·
We emphasize regular maintenance and periodic renovation to meet the needs of tenants and to maximize long-term returns.
22
·
We maintain a diversified tenant base consisting primarily of retail tenants providing consumer goods and services.
·
We proactively review our existing portfolio for potential re-development opportunities.
Development Joint Ventures
For ground-up developments, we are utilizing a disciplined partnership strategy designed to diversify our risk. We believe that our in place development joint ventures are a productive use of our capital, providing accretive stabilized returns on development cost. We believe the joint ventures we have formed with five established development teams are capital efficient, provide attractive returns, and provide us with the option to acquire finished assets at a discount to market value or to sell them for a profit.
·
TMK Development Land sales, at Savannah Crossing (265,000 square feet of retail space planned), located in Aurora, Illinois, to Wal-Mart and a home developer enabled us to quickly recoup all of our initial investment, leaving the remaining 14 acres of land free and clear for development. We completed a pad sale to Fifth Third bank in January 2008. Wal-Mart, which opened in the first quarter of 2008, and Walgreen's, scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2008, anchor the center. Two multi-tenant buildings have been completed and are already significantly leased.
·
North American Real Estate - The North Aurora Towne Centre (805,000 square feet of retail space planned), located in North Aurora, Illinois, surrounds an existing third party owned center shadow anchored by Target and JC Penney's. We have signed leases for approximately 5,600 square feet in the multi-tenant buildings completed in 2007 and La Z Boy, a build-to-suit tenant opened in first quarter of 2008. We are under contract to sell the La Z Boy parcel and expect it to close during third quarter 2008. We have a lease with Best Buy for another build-to-suit. Construction of the Best Buy building is largely completed; we are turning the space over to the tenant in August and anticipate the tenant will open in fourth quarter 2008. We closed on a five acre land sale to Ashley Furniture on June 18, 2008. We are also currently negotiating several other land parcel sales to retailers. Phases one and two (430,000 square feet) of the development are scheduled for completion in 2009 and Phase III (375,000 square feet) is expected to be finished by year end 2010.
·
Tucker Development Corporation - The Shops at Lakemoor (535,000 square feet of retail space planned), located in Lakemoor, Illinois, is surrounded by well-established communities that we believe are currently "under-retailed." We are currently in discussions with a number of retailers to anchor this development.
·
PineTree Institutional Realty - We now have three development projects with this partner; Southshore Shopping Center in Boise, Idaho; Orchard Crossings in Fort Wayne, Indiana; and Lantern Commons in Westfield, Indiana.
o
Southshore Shopping Center (90,000 square feet) is located next to a thriving Albertson's anchored center and is a former K-Mart that is being re-developed into a mix of retail spaces. The target completion date for this redevelopment is late 2009.
o
Orchard Crossing (260,000 square feet of retail space planned) is located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In 2007, we completed a land sale of approximately 11 acres for $4.5 million to Target Corporation. In addition, we have a signed lease with Gordman's for a 50,000 square foot build-to-suit at this location. Construction of the Gordman's building is largely completed; we are turning the space over to the tenant in early August and anticipate this tenant will open in fourth quarter 2008. Famous Footwear signed a lease for 6,500 square feet and is expected to open in fourth quarter 2008. We expect to complete this development by the first half of 2009.
o
Lantern Commons (440,000 square feet of retail space planned) is located in Westfield, Indiana, which is a suburb of Indianapolis. This is our newest acquisition with Pine Tree. We expect to develop junior anchor box buildings, multi-tenant retail shop space plus out parcels for sale or ground lease. We are already negotiating with two national retailers to anchor the center and have received indications of interest from several junior anchors.
·
Paradise Development Group - Tuscany Village (340,000 square feet of retail space planned) is located in the Orlando area. We are currently negotiating land sales contracts with a national discount grocer and two restaurant chains. Two other national retailers are considering anchoring the project and we are negotiating letters of intent with a handful of junior box anchors. The target completion date for this project is late 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies
General
A critical accounting policy is one that, we believe, would materially affect our operating results or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances. We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to the valuation and allocation of investment properties, determining whether assets are held for sale, recognition of rental income and lease termination income, our cost capitalization and depreciation policies and consolidation/equity accounting policies. These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. U.S. GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates. The following disclosure discusses judgments known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties that were taken into consideration upon the application of critical accounting 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 review impairment indicators and, if necessary, conduct an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each investment property does not exceed its estimated fair value. We evaluate our investment properties to assess whether any impairment indicators are present, including recurring operating losses and significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate. If an investment property is considered impaired, a loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded an impairment loss of $666 related to an 86,004 square foot neighborhood retail center located in Madison, Wisconsin. No such losses have been required or recorded in the accompanying financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
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. Market capitalization rates fluctuate based on factors such as interest rates. An increase in capitalization rates might result in a market valuation lower than our original purchase price. Additionally, we obtain an appraisal prepared by a third party at the time we purchase the investment property. All of these factors are equally 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 factors, either individually or taken as a whole. Should the actual results differ from management's projections, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.
We allocate the purchase price of 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 financing assumed that is determined to be above or below market terms. 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 is lower than if more value is attributed to building and improvements. We use the information contained in the third party appraisals as the primary basis for allocating the purchase price between land, building and improvements. We determine whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar investment properties.
25
The aggregate value of other intangibles is measured based on the difference between the purchase price and the property valued as if vacant. We utilize information contained in independent appraisals and management's estimates to determine the respective as if vacant property values. Factors considered by management in our analysis of determining the as if vacant property value include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases and the risk adjusted cost of capital. 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, tenant improvements, 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 evaluation of acquired in-place leases consists of a variety of components including the costs avoided associated with originating the acquired in-place lease, including but not limited to, leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs and legal costs. We also consider the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs and rental income estimated to be incurred during the assumed re-leasing period. The value of the acquired in-place lease is amortized over the average lease term as a component of amortization expense. We also consider whether any customer relationship value exists related to the property acquisition. As of June 30, 2008, we had not allocated any amounts to customer relationships.
The valuation and possible subsequent impairment in the value of our investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's continuous process of analyzing each property.
Cost Capitalization and Depreciation Policies. We review all expenditures and capitalize any item that is deemed to be an upgrade or a tenant improvement. If we capitalize more items, current depreciation expense will 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.
Assets Held for Sale. In determining whether to classify an asset as held for sale, we consider whether: (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 have received a significant non-refundable deposit for the purchase of the property; (vi) we are actively marketing the asset for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value; and (vii) actions required for us to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made to the plan.
If all of the above criteria are met, we classify the asset as held for sale. On the day that these criteria are met, we suspend depreciation on the asset held for sale, including depreciation for tenant improvements and additions, as well as on the amortization of acquired in-place leases and customer relationship values. The assets and liabilities associated with those assets that are held for sale are classified separately on the consolidated balance sheet for the most recent reporting period. Additionally, the operations for the periods presented are classified on the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
26
Recognition of Rental Income and Tenant Recoveries. Under U.S. 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. If rental income calculated on a straight-line basis exceeds the cash rent due under the lease, the difference is recorded as an increase to both deferred rent receivable and rental income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the cash rent due under the lease exceeds rental income calculated on a straight-line basis, the difference is recorded as a decrease to both deferred rent receivable and rental income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 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 collectibility of outstanding receivables. Allowances are taken for those balances that we have reason to believe will be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible are written off.
Tenant recoveries are primarily comprised of real estate tax and common area maintenance reimbursement income. Real estate tax income is based on an accrual reimbursement calculated by tenant, based on an estimate of current year real estate taxes. As actual real estate tax bills are received, we reconcile with our tenants and adjust prior year income estimates in the current period. Common area maintenance income is accrued on actual common area maintenance expenses as incurred. Annually, we reconcile with the tenants for their share of the expenses per their lease and we adjust prior year income estimates in the current period.
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.
Consolidation/Equity Accounting Policies. We consolidate the operations of a joint venture if we determine that we are either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or have substantial influence and control of the entity. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses or residual returns. There are significant judgments and estimates involved in determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or the determination of who has control and influence of the entity. When we consolidate an entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of a variable interest entity are included in our consolidated financial statements.
In instances where we are not the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or we 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 our share of operations is reflected as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on our consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Additionally, our net investment in the joint venture is reflected as investment in and advances to joint venture as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets.
Investment in Securities. We classify our 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 we have 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007 consist of preferred and common stock investments that are classified as available-for-sale securities and 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. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," or SFAS No. 115 and EITF 03-1, The Meaning of Other-than-temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, for an impaired security we consider whether we have the ability and intent to hold the investment for a time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value and consider whether the evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end and forecasted performance of the investee.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
This section describes our balance sheet and discusses our liquidity and capital commitments. Our most liquid asset is cash and cash equivalents which consists of cash and short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $16,706 and $18,378, respectively. See our discussion of the statements of cash flows for a description of our cash activity during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. We consider all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements purchased with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposits in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. However, we do not believe that the risk is significant.
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 Plan ("DRP"), our draws on the line of credit with KeyBank N.A., which may be limited due to covenant compliance requirements, proceeds from financings secured by our investment properties and earnings we retain that are not distributed to our stockholders. As of June 30, 2008, we had approximately $70,000 available under our $155,000 line of credit. If necessary, such as for new acquisitions, we believe we can generate cash flow by entering into financing arrangements or joint venture agreements with institutional investors. We use our cash primarily to pay distributions to our stockholders, for operating expenses at our investment properties, for purchasing additional investment properties, joint venture commitments and to repay draws on the line of credit.
Certain joint venture commitments require us to invest cash in properties under development and in properties that do not necessarily meet our investment criteria but which are offered for syndication through our joint venture with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation. Capital could be committed for periods longer than expected if development timelines are longer or syndication velocity is slower than anticipated.
As of June 30, 2008, we owned interests in 146 investment properties, including those owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures. In the aggregate, all of our 146 investment properties are currently generating sufficient cash flow from operations to pay our operating expenses, debt service requirements and distributions equal to $0.98 per share on an annual basis.
We invest in marketable securities of other REITs as well as non-REIT entities. We had investments in securities of $17,397 at June 30, 2008, consisting of preferred and common stock investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded accumulated other comprehensive income of $1,707 related to these investment securities. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are specifically identified and determined. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 we had a realized gain on sale of $944, also during the six months ended June 30, 2007 we had a realized loss on sale of $35, respectively. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company realized a loss of $2,510 related to a decline in value of certain investment securities which were determined to be other than temporary. The overall stock market and REIT stocks have declined over the last few months and although these investments have generated both current income and gain on sale during the six months ended June 30, 2008, there is no assurance that existing or future investments will generate any income or gains due to economic uncertainties that may occur in the future and they may generate a loss. Declines in the value of our investment securities may also impact our ability to borrow on margin in the future. As of June 30, 2008, our margin loan balance was $7,388.

(a)
Approximately $66,193 of the Company's mortgages payable mature during 2008. The Company intends to replace these loans with new debt at market terms.
(b)
Included in the debt maturing in 2011 is our convertible notes issued during 2006, which mature in 2026. They are included in 2011 because that is the earliest date these notes can be redeemed. It is not our intent to redeem these notes at this time, however, the note holders could require us to do so. Additionally, included in the debt maturing during 2011 is our line of credit with KeyBank N.A. This 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, 2008, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Statements of Cash Flows
2008 Compared to 2007
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $7,061, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of the payment of larger common area maintenance expenses on our investment properties during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. Additionally, we received less operating distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. This decrease was offset by an increase in cash flows from operations generated by properties acquired during 2008 and 2007.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $25,568 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $133,267 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we acquired two investment properties at a cost of $27,984 and completed $6,512 in additions to our investment properties, as compared to the acquisition of five investment properties for our joint venture with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation ("IREX") during the six months ended June 30, 2007 at a cost of $100,507 and completed $8,595 in additions to our investment properties. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, we received more cash from the sale of joint venture interests related to the sales to TIC investors through our IREX joint venture and the sale of investment properties in our wholly-owned portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we also received more distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures, received payment upon maturity of its mortgage receivable with Tri-Land Properties, Inc., spent less on the purchase of computers and software and less cash was invested in our unconsolidated joint ventures.
Net cash used in financing activities was $57,640 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $80,705 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The primary reason for this increase in cash used was an increase in debt repayments of $45,367 and lower net loan and line of credit proceeds received of $24,785 during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $116,585 during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Net income decreased $730 and $1,995 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The decrease in net income is due to recording a non-cash charge of approximately $2,500 related to a decline in value of certain investment securities which were determined to be other than temporary during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and to a $666 impairment recorded to adjust the book value of an investment property currently under contract. Additionally, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007, due to recording gains from land sales through our unconsolidated joint ventures of $681 and $1,312, respectively. Partially offsetting the decrease in net income is an increase in gains on the sale of certain investment securities, increases of $128 and $782 in gains recorded related to the sale to TIC investors of the properties through our joint venture with IREX and a deferred partnership gain of $3,193 recognized upon repayment of our mortgage receivable with Tri-Land Properties, Inc.
This section describes and compares our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At June 30, 2008, we had ownership interests in 30 Single-user retail properties, 68 Neighborhood Retail Centers, 19 Community Centers, 28 Power Centers and 1 Lifestyle Center. 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 the same three and six month periods during each year. A total of 126 of our investment properties satisfied these criteria during the periods presented and are referred to herein as "same store" properties. These properties comprise approximately 10.8 million square feet. A total of three investment properties, those that have been acquired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007 are presented as "other investment properties" in the table below. The "same store" investment properties represent approximately 98% of the square footage of our portfolio at June 30, 2008. This analysis allows management to monitor the operations of our existing properties for comparable periods to measure the performance of our current portfolio. Additionally, we are able to determine the effects of our new acquisitions on net income.
The following table presents the operating results, broken out between "same store" and "other investment properties," prior to straight-line rental income, amortization of lease intangibles, interest, depreciation, amortization and bad debt expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 along with reconciliation to income from continuing operations, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

On a "same store" basis, (comparing the results of operations of the investment properties owned and operated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 with the results of the same investment properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007), property net operating income increased $982 with total rental and additional rental income increasing $2,274 and total property operating expenses increasing $1,292 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. Property net operating income increased $795 with total rental and additional rental income increasing $2,862 and total property operating expenses increasing $2,067 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in same store net operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 is primarily due to lease termination income of approximately $1,100 recorded during the quarter as well as ongoing leasing gains and a decrease in non-reimbursable tenant related expenses. These items were partially offset by the impact on revenue of certain big box vacancies. Adjusted for the impact of lease termination income in the quarter, same store net operating income would have been essentially flat compared to the same periods prior year.
31
Total rental and additional rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $46,160 and $44,577, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, these amounts were $95,174 and $91,434, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in rental and additional rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was increased tenant recovery income. Tenant recovery income increased as a result of increased property operating expenses.
Fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased $958 and $1,318 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. This increase is due to acquisition fees earned on the properties acquired by our joint venture with IREX and increased management fees earned on a larger portfolio of properties in our unconsolidated joint ventures.
Total property operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $13,951 and $12,388, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, these amounts were $31,161 and $28,395, respectively. The increase in expenses is due primarily to an increase in common area maintenance expenses on our "same store" portfolio of properties. The increases are related to additional parking lot work, such as paving and striping for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 and to increased snow removal costs during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Additionally, the increase is due to an increase in payroll and other payroll related items during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended June, 2007.
General and administrative expenses increased $498 and $227, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The increase is due in part to an increase in salaries and other payroll related items and an increase in marketing costs due to new signage for our properties and the redesign of our website
Other income (expense) decreased $1,580 and $1,456 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The primary reason for this decrease was recording a non-cash charge of approximately $2,500 related to a decline in value of certain investment securities which were determined to be other than temporary. Offsetting this decrease in other income (expense) is an increase in dividend income on our securities portfolio and gains on sale related to securities sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
Gain on sale of joint venture interests increased $3,014 and $1,746 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded gains of $128 and $782, respectively in connection with our joint venture with IREX. Additionally, we recorded the gain previously deferred in conjunction with the repayment of our mortgage receivable with Tri-Land Properties, Inc. in the amount of $3,193. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a gain of $307 and $2,229, respectively in connection with the sale of our interest in our joint venture with Crow Holdings Managers, LLC.
Interest expense decreased $1,488 and $1,152 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the decrease is a result of a decrease in interest on our mortgages payable due to decreased amounts of outstanding debt and lower interest rates on our mortgages which bear interest at variable rates and a decrease in interest on our line of credit with Key Bank NA due to lower balances maintained during the period. As of June 30, 2008, the average interest rate on our variable rate debt, including our line of credit was 3.85%, compared to 6.71% at June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 the decrease is due to a decrease in interest on our mortgages payable for the reason given above. This decrease is offset by an increase in interest on our line of credit with KeyBank NA due to larger average balances maintained during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007.
32
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $621 and $1,591 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. This decrease is due primarily to a land sale gain during the six months ended June 30, 2007 in which we recorded a gain of approximately $1,312 through one of our unconsolidated joint ventures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded gains from land sales in the amount of $256 and $681, respectively through our unconsolidated joint ventures. Additionally, the decrease is due to losses incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 through our joint venture with NYSTRS. The losses result from increased vacancies, primarily the result of the Wickes Furniture bankruptcy, discussed below.
In February 2008, Wickes Furniture, a tenant at five of our investment properties filed for bankruptcy and has since liquidated. Two of the locations are at investment properties owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures. All leases were rejected and the locations have closed. Wickes Furniture represented approximately one percent of our total base rent in 2007. We are actively marketing these spaces to release them in a timely fashion in order to limit the potential lost revenue. A lease has already been signed for the Minnesota location. The new lease is for a higher rental rate per square foot and we are expanding the gross leasable area at that location by 7,000 square feet.
In April 2008, Linens N Things, a tenant at three of our investment properties filed for bankruptcy. We have been notified that two of these locations, one in Schaumburg, Illinois and one in Rochester, Minnesota, will be closing, but the leases have not yet been rejected. These two closing locations account for less than one percent of our total current base rent in 2007.
Captive Insurance
We are a member of a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive (the "Captive"), which is owned in equal proportions with two other REITs sponsored by an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc., Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. and Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., and us. The Captive is serviced by Inland Risk and Insurance Management, Inc., also an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc. The Captive was formed to initially insure/reimburse the members' deductible obligations for the first $100 of property insurance and $100 of general liability insurance. We entered into the Captive to stabilize our insurance costs, manage our exposures and recoup expenses through the functions of the captive program. This entity is considered to be a variable interest entity ("VIE") as defined in FIN 46R and we are not considered the primary beneficiary. This investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We were not required to make additional capital contributions to this entity during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007.
Joint Ventures
Consolidated joint ventures are those where we are either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or have substantial influence over and control the entity. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses or residual returns. The third parties' interests in these consolidated entities are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures
Unconsolidated joint ventures are those where we are not the primary beneficiary of a VIE or have substantial influence over but do not control the entity. We account for our interest in these ventures using the equity method of accounting. Our profit/loss allocation percentage and related investment in each joint venture is summarized in the following table.

(a)
The profit/loss allocation percentage is allocated after the calculation of the Company's preferred return.
Our proportionate share of the earnings or losses from these ventures is reflected as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Additionally, we earn fees for providing property management, leasing and acquisition activities to these ventures. We recognize only our share of these fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we earned $1,433 and $2,449 in fee income from our unconsolidated joint ventures, as compared to $475 and $1,131 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. This fee income increased due in most part to acquisition fees on the properties purchased for our joint venture with IREX as well as increased management fees on an increased number of properties in our unconsolidated joint ventures. These fees are reflected on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income as fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures.
The operations of properties contributed to the joint ventures by us are not recorded as discontinued operations because of our continuing involvement with these shopping centers. Differences between our investment in the joint ventures and the amount of the underlying equity in net assets of the joint ventures are due to basis differences resulting from our equity investment recorded at its historical basis versus the fair value of certain of our contributions to the joint venture. Such differences are amortized over depreciable lives of the joint venture's property assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded $730 and $707, respectively, of amortization of this basis difference.
We guaranty certain portions of joint venture debt. In accordance with FIN 45, we are required to estimate the fair value of these guarantees and record a corresponding liability. We have determined that the fair value of such guarantees are immaterial as of June 30, 2008 and have not recorded a liability related to these guarantees on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, our joint venture with TMK Development sold an additional parcel of land to a third party for approximately $1,523. The joint venture recorded a gain on sale of approximately $722. Our pro rata share of the gain, including our preferred return is $425, which is recorded in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, our joint venture with North American Real Estate sold an additional parcel of land to a third party for approximately $2,443. The joint venture recorded a gain on sale of approximately $256. Our pro rata share of the gain, including our preferred return is $256, which is recorded in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. We recorded 100 percent of the gain since the total gain was less than the preferred return due.
34
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we acquired one investment property on behalf of our joint venture with IREX and contributed one investment property to this joint venture. As of June 30, 2008, the joint venture had sold all but two properties acquired in 2007 to TIC investors. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we earned acquisition and management fees from this venture which are included in fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Additionally, in conjunction with the sales to the TIC investors, we recorded gains of approximately $128 and $782, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, which are included in gain on sale of joint venture interests on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. No such gains were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We may 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 is designed to reduce that exposure. Certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures entered into interest rate swap contracts to limit their exposure to variable interest rates. These derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges and therefore qualify for hedge accounting. The effective portion of the derivatives gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately.
We recorded our pro rata share of unrealized losses in the amount of $21 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as well as our pro rata share of unrealized gains in the amount of $367 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, which is included as a component of other comprehensive income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income and as a component of investments in and advances to joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. No such losses were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The following table presents pertinent information related to these interest rate swap contracts.

Fair Value Disclosures
Our valuation of marketable securities, which are considered to be available-for-sale, utilize unadjusted quoted prices determined by active markets for the specific securities we have invested in, and therefore fall into Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Our valuation of our derivative instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward curves.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We consider FFO a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, NAREIT has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as ours. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating 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. Management uses the calculation of FFO for several reasons. We use FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group. Additionally, FFO is used in certain employment agreements to determine incentives payable by us to certain executives, based on our performance. The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Items that 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance. The following table reflects our FFO for the periods presented, reconciled to net income available to common stockholders for these periods:

We believe EBITDA is useful to us and to an investor as a supplemental measure in evaluating our financial performance because it excludes expenses that we believe may not be indicative of our operating performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings (losses) from operations excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income tax benefit or expenses; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) gain (loss) on non-operating property. By excluding interest expense, EBITDA measures our financial performance regardless of how we finance our operations and capital structure. By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, we believe we can more accurately assess the performance of our portfolio. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges such as interest expense and taxes and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, it does not reflect the amount of capital needed to maintain our properties nor does it reflect trends in interest costs due to changes in interest rates or increases in borrowing. EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net earnings and may be calculated differently by other equity REITs.

Subsequent Events
On July 14, 2008, we acquired, through our joint venture with IREX, four Bank of America office buildings in sale-leaseback transactions from Bank of America, N.A. for an aggregate purchase price of $153,000, including approximately $90,000 of mortgage debt. We funded the remaining purchase price with a draw on our line of credit and using cash and cash equivalents. The office properties comprise a total of 839,808 square feet of space and are located in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Maryland and New Mexico.
On July 17, 2008, we paid a cash distribution of $0.08167 per share on the outstanding shares of our common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2008.
On July 17, 2008, we announced that we had declared a cash distribution of $0.08167 per share on the outstanding shares of our common stock. This distribution is payable on August 18, 2008 to the stockholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2008.
On July 18, 2008, we sold 1.2 acres of vacant land at Orchard Crossing, owned through our joint venture with PineTree Institutional Realty, LLC, for $1,200. This land parcel was sold to Arby's for construction of a 3,500 square foot restaurant. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the construction loan.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As of June 30, 2008 we had no material derivative instruments, on a consolidated basis. We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We may 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 is designed to reduce that exposure. Gains or 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 recognized. We will generally only enter into derivative transactions that satisfy the aforementioned criteria.
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to 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 this debt to fixed rate debt when we deem 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 converting the debt to fixed rate debt. Also, existing fixed and variable rate loans which are scheduled to mature in the next year or two are evaluated for possible early refinancing or extension based on our view of the current interest rate environment. The table below presents the principal amount of the debt maturing each year, including monthly annual amortization of principal, through December 31, 2012 and thereafter, based on debt outstanding at June 30, 2008 and weighted average interest rates for the debt maturing in each specified period.

The table above does not reflect indebtedness incurred after June 30, 2008. 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, fixed rate debt that matures and needs to be refinanced and hedging strategies used to reduce the impact of any increases in rates.
The fair value of debt is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. At June 30, 2008, the fair value of our debt was estimated to be $142,842 for debt which bears interest at variable rates and $676,836 for debt which bear interest at fixed rates. We estimate the fair value of our debt 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.
At June 30, 2008, approximately $142,842, or 17%, of our debt has variable interest rates averaging 3.85%. An increase in the variable interest rates charged on debt containing variable interest rate terms, constitutes a market risk. A 0.25% annualized increase in interest rates would have increased our interest expense by approximately $179 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Based on managements evaluation as of June 30, 2008, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of the date of evaluation to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the three months ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
